Chapter 939 Compensation
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Tianyun. She smoothed her newly changed star-patterned robe and looked at Yunxi, saying:
"The commotion caused by Fairy Ranxi's tribulation was too great. The Immortal Transformation Pool was not just damaged, but completely destroyed. After we converted all our spiritual power, we also benefited from Ranxi's influence and gained some merit, which is why we were able to successfully break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm."

However, the tribulation lightning targeted not just one person, but all seven of us. The celestial official could only move us out of the Immortal Transformation Pool one by one. Although the time difference between the events was not significant, the tribulation lightning still struck, causing damage to the pool. He might be able to repair one pool himself, but now more than one pool has been damaged, so we must compensate with immortal stones.”

After listening to Tianyun's explanation, Yunxi shrugged and said:
"Then let's wait and see how they'll compensate us. Anyway, we just ascended here, and we only have spirit stones in our storage rings."

Meanwhile, Si Shijiu, who was guarding the Immortal Transformation Pool, was extremely busy. He regretted choosing to be on duty today. He knew that this time of day was usually the quietest, and even if there were cultivators who ascended, there were only a handful. He never expected that there would be such an explosive surge today.

Similar events were unfolding on the Ascension Platforms of the other four realms. It should be noted that in order to propel the entire Weiling Realm to ascension, thousands of cultivators at the late-stage peak of the Mahayana realm simultaneously attempted to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm. Half of them had refined "immortal bones" before reaching the breakthrough level, all to ensure that nothing went wrong.

And they finally succeeded. After dragging the Weiling Realm across the boundary between immortals and mortals, the Five Immortal Emperors took over the Weiling Realm. They were finally able to reap the fruits of their victory. Breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm was routine, and taking this opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm in one fell swoop was the most direct reward from Heaven to the cultivators who contributed.

The Immortal Realm is an enlarged version of the Weiling Realm, and it is also divided into five domains. The Central Domain is a sacred place for spiritual cultivators to gather, the Eastern Immortal Realm is the territory of demonic cultivators, the Western Immortal Realm is a place that Buddhist cultivators yearn for, the Southern Immortal Realm is a gathering place for great demons, and the Northern Immortal Realm is mostly inhabited by ghost cultivators.

Therefore, after the return of the Weiling Realm, the corresponding Five Domains also returned to their original positions, further proving that the Weiling Realm was affected by the ancient war between good and evil and fell into the lower realm. It was originally part of the Immortal Realm.

The place that sealed most of the evil gods' bodies was coincidentally knocked down and its level dropped, becoming the lower realm. After hundreds of thousands of years, it has finally returned to its rightful place, which is something to celebrate.

Anyway, that's what the Five Immortal Emperors thought. In order to ensure that the returned region would not be in chaos, they also chose the same approach that the Wei Ling Interface used for the returned small world: first, isolate the entire region, then arrange for the Immortal Kings of each region to take over the new territory, and sort out all the major and minor matters of the returned region as quickly as possible, investigate the cultivators, and most importantly, take over the mess of the evil god's body.

The Immortal Emperors had not yet reached a consensus on how to deal with the evil god's body, so they chose to continue sealing it. As a result, the Cloud Sea and the Putuo Temple in the Buddhist Kingdom were sealed by them. The cultivators who had been stationed there left without any trouble. As expected by the True Venerables, after the entire realm ascended, the trouble was taken over by immortals with higher cultivation levels, and they also had to adapt to the new cultivation environment.

Although there was a strong sense of disparity between the Immortal Realm and the Immortal Realm, the spiritual energy here was more abundant, which was helpful for their cultivation. As long as they adjusted their mindset, they could cultivate anywhere. Fortunately, it took almost a hundred years from the initial rumors of the ascension of the entire realm to its implementation. The cultivators of the Weiling Realm were more or less mentally prepared, so they adapted relatively well.

Most sects and families choose to stay where they are for the sake of stability. If cultivators from the Immortal Realm ask them to leave, they will make plans then and always find a way out. At worst, they can ask their ancestors who have successfully ascended to immortality for help. As long as their families and sects can continue, that's all that matters.

Soon after, the Immortal Realm gave them a pleasant surprise. After tracing their origins, they were always able to find sects or families with the same roots in the Immortal Realm, successfully finding a new home for themselves and gradually integrating into the Immortal Realm.

At this time, Yunxi and the others had gathered enough ascended cultivators to fill a flying boat and were preparing to head to Wantu Immortal City when Si Shijiu directly stopped Wan Qiwei.

"Brother Wanqi, don't rush to send them to Wantu Immortal City. I have something to say to them."

Wan Qiwei nodded and gestured for them to proceed. Si Shijiu then looked at the twenty ascended cultivators led by Yun Xi, cleared her throat, and said:
"After your ascension, you broke through to the next level, and during your tribulation, you damaged the Immortal Transformation Pool. According to the rules of the Ascension Platform, you must compensate for this."

Although Yunxi already knew that compensation was unavoidable, she still wanted to make one last attempt, so she politely said:

"Official in charge of immortality, I asked your colleague, and he said that the Immortal Transformation Pool is maintained by dedicated immortal officials, and even if it is damaged, they are responsible for its maintenance, not us ascended cultivators who should be liable for compensation. What do you think?"

Although Yunxi was very polite and courteous, her high level of cultivation put a lot of pressure on the Immortal Official.

Si Shijiu glanced at Wan Qiwei, whose eyes were covered by a white veil, and could only patiently explain:

“Fellow Daoist Wanqi is only temporarily acting as my colleague for two days. There are some things he is not aware of. The Immortal Transformation Pool does have dedicated celestial officials to maintain it, but they are only responsible for daily maintenance and simple repairs, which are considered normal wear and tear on the Ascension Platform. But look at the state of the Immortal Transformation Pool that you have stayed in.”

Without further ado, she conjured a water mirror, allowing the ascended cultivators before her to take a close look, especially at the Immortal Transformation Pool where Yun Xi resided. Si Shijiu pointed it out without hesitation:
“Fairy Ranxi, the Immortal Transformation Pool where you stayed is the most thoroughly damaged, and you were the only one who stayed in that Immortal Transformation Pool. Do you think there is any room for repair? It obviously needs to be rebuilt.”

After looking at the completely destroyed Immortal Transformation Pool, everyone couldn't honestly say that it could still be repaired, so they could only turn their attention to Yunxi.

Yunxi coughed lightly and said:

"Immortal Official, how do you suggest we compensate you? As you can see, we just ascended to heaven and don't even have a single immortal stone in our pockets. If you accept spirit stones, we might be able to scrape together some."

The official in charge of celestial affairs didn't want to make things difficult for Ranxi, whose cultivation was higher than his own, so he said directly:
“There are two ways to compensate. One is that each of you sign a contract specifying that you will return the immortal stones used to build the Immortal Transformation Pool within a specified time. Of course, the longer the time, the more immortal stones you will have to pay. After all, the Immortal Transformation Pool cannot wait for you to collect all the immortal stones before it is rebuilt. The official will make the payment first, so you will have to pay some interest on the immortal stones you return. That's not unreasonable, is it?”

Everyone nodded, finding it acceptable; no one was obligated to provide you with immortal stones for free.

Yunxi pressed on, asking:
"What about the second way of repayment?"

Si Shijiu immediately took out a jade slip and said:
"I have an official mission here, which requires me to mine a new immortal stone vein for ten years. This will not only repay the immortal stones you owe, but also allow me to accumulate cultivation resources. After I leave, it will at least ensure that you can cultivate peacefully for a period of time."
