Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 611 - : Immortal Register

Chapter 611: Chapter 611: Immortal Register

Wang Chen’s new home had never been so lively since it was built and he had moved in.

The entire Zhang Mushan family of five had all been invited and had come.

Madam Zhang took the initiative to take over the work in the kitchen, letting her husband and Wang Chen drink tea and chat.

Zhang Zhuanghu kept his twin sisters company playing in the yard, their crisp laughter occasionally ringing out, adding a dash of vitality and liveliness to the place.

Since Wang Chen’s home was located outside Flying Catkins Valley, he could enclose land as he pleased; his house was simply built, but the yard he had fenced off was not small, and he had even transplanted a few large trees from nearby mountains.

Even though it was the hot weather of late summer and early autumn, Wang Chen’s yard was nevertheless cool and breezy. Sitting leisurely and gazing at the rolling hills in the distance, one couldn’t help but feel relaxed and refreshed.

Zhang Mushan remarked with a sigh, “Living outside the valley is indeed more comfortable.”

Though Flying Catkins Valley was large, the cultivators of Flying Catkins Camp mostly lived in a rather confined area, so most people’s homes, including Zhang Mushan’s, were not very large.

This was due to the need for defense; if each family were spread out, the defensive array would need to be extremely large, and neither the resources required for construction nor the daily expenditure would be something a small Loose Cultivator force could afford.

Moreover, if the Flying Catkins Valley were to come under attack, the cultivators living together could resist collectively in the shortest time possible.

While this increased the safety, the comfort of living inevitably declined significantly.

That was simply the way things were. One couldn’t have the best of both worlds!

Of course, Zhang Mushan was merely making a casual remark. He had a family with three children, and safety naturally came first.

“Daddy!”

At that moment, a delicate little girl carved out of jade rushed over and threw herself into Zhang Mushan’s arms.

Zhang Mushan’s twin daughters were only four years old this year and at their most adorable age.

The Purple Mansion cultivator laughed as he picked up his daughter, his face beaming with happiness.

Wang Chen watched with a hint of envy.

“Go play with your brother and sister.”

After lavishing affection on his daughter for a moment, Zhang Mushan put her down to join the others.

He noticed Wang Chen’s expression and said with a smile, “Children, after all, are karmic debts owed by parents from a past life.”

Wang Chen nodded in agreement.

That statement really wasn’t wrong when applied to most cultivators.

Bringing the next generation into the world was a costly affair for cultivators, especially for female cultivators.

Giving birth consumed their vital essence, and raising a child required substantial resources,

so many cultivator couples chose to be childfree, unwilling to have children.

A Purple Mansion cultivator with three children like Zhang Mushan was indeed a rarity!

With children came encumbrances and responsibilities.

Zhang Mushan’s gaze followed his frolicsome children, and he uttered with a sigh, “In this life, I likely have no hope of forming a Golden Core. I can only hope that one day they will be able to enter the Immortal Register.”

Having an Immortal Register granted one the qualification to reside in Immortal City—where the conditions outshone those of any outpost in the wilderness by countless measures.

And their descendants could also enjoy the blessings of being Immortals.

At this topic, Wang Chen felt a stir in his heart.

He asked a few more questions.

He had now obtained the Apart Register, which meant he had the right to establish himself in the Haotian Realm.

But to go further and obtain an Immortal Register was essential.

Wang Chen was well aware that this was no easy feat. Otherwise, Zhang Mushan and many other Loose Cultivators wouldn’t be confined to Flying Catkins Valley.

Zhang Mushan provided detailed answers to Wang Chen’s questions,

as he had a deep understanding of this matter.

An Immortal Register was different from an Apart Register; the latter could be obtained with enough Spirit Stones and someone to vouch for you, hence it wasn’t difficult to acquire.

Zhang Mushan had obtained the Apart Registry for Wang Chen in Yongle Immortal City through an acquaintance.

Which is to say, the Apart Registry was issued by an Immortal City.

However, the quota for the Immortal Register is controlled by the Nine States Immortal Alliance!

To obtain citizenship, one would first need to establish connections with the Immortal City, obtain the qualifications for application, preferably with a recommendation from an Immortal Clan, and then pass the checks of the Immortal Alliance.

The difficulty of overcoming these multiple barriers can be imagined.

In fact, the difficulty in obtaining the Immortal Register is graded.

The easiest naturally belongs to the Immortal Cultivation families within the Immortal Alliance system, with each family having a quota of newcomers every year, which can be used for their own offspring or to include new blood.

Next in line are the residents of the Immortal City, for instance, if both parents have an Immortal Register and they have children who wish to register, they would need to apply.

If all goes well, it takes three to five years to obtain it; if there are problems, it’s quite normal to remain unregistered for ten or eight years.

If the children of a resident family fail to register after reaching adulthood, they can no longer live inside the Immortal City.

In Flying Catkins Valley, there are quite a few such children from fallen Immortal City families.

Last are the Loose Cultivators like Zhang Mushan, for whom it is extremely difficult to obtain the Immortal Register.

Moreover, he had a family to provide for, which one could say doubled the difficulty!

For someone like Wang Chen, who smuggled himself from the Lower Realm, even obtaining the Apart Registry would be a pipe dream if the Immortal Alliance were to discover he didn’t have a legitimate background in the Haotian Realm!

Wang Chen’s greatest hope to enter the Immortal Register would be to breakthrough from the Golden Core to form a Nascent Soul; at which point, most Immortal Cities would welcome him with open arms, and the Nine States Immortal Alliance wouldn’t refuse a True Immortal’s inclusion.

Another incredibly slim possibility would be to obtain a special quota from the Nine States Immortal Alliance!

Anxious not to dampen Wang Chen’s spirits with his words, Zhang Mushan added, “Ultimately, it all depends on each person’s Fate. I believe with Brother Wang’s Fate, one day he will surely enter the Immortal Register.”

Wang Chen smiled and said, “Thank you for your auspicious words, Big Brother.”

“Stop chatting for now.”

At that moment, Madam Zhang came out from the kitchen carrying a large plate of steaming barbecue and called out, “The food’s ready. Let’s eat while it’s hot.”

“It’s time to eat～”

Zhang Zhuanghu and his two sisters cheered as they gathered around the dining table, their mouths watering at the sight of the fragrant roasted meat.

Wang Chen and Zhang Mushan exchanged smiles and went over to take their seats.

Wang Chen said to Madam Zhang, “Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law.”

“Oh right.”

From his Sumeru Ring, he took out the Spotted Deer Hide he had previously skinned: “This is a small token of my appreciation, please do accept it, sister-in-law.”

Wang Chen neither knew how to nor was interested in tanning animal hides. The Spotted Deer Hide was intact and beautiful, and since its value wasn’t very high, it was most suitable as a gift.

“Thank you,”

Madam Zhang accepted it with a smile, “It’s perfect for making a few pairs of boots and gloves for the children.”

With a good relationship between them, there was no need for niceties over a small gift.

“It’s an adult Spotted Deer, isn’t it?”

Zhang Mushan was surprised: “Brother Wang, where did you hunt this?”

After getting an answer, he was even more astonished: “Then you’re really lucky; it’s very difficult to find such game in Dongli Mountain now.”

Zhang Mushan also went hunting quite often, following the Hunters of Flying Catkins Camp deep into distant areas.

Wang Chen stroked his chin: “My luck is indeed quite good.”

In truth, luck was one aspect, but on the other hand, he could give himself advantages.
