Practice begins with immortality

Return to the original world.

"For now, it seems that we can put the Wilderness Realm aside for the time being and focus on the original world. With my current strength, I can also stand firm in the Northern Yan Immortal Cultivation World." Wang Bai thought secretly in his heart. After careful consideration, he decided to put aside the affairs of the Wilderness Realm and focus on the original world.

After making this decision, Wang Bai immediately took action. He first went to the External Affairs Hall of the Purple Jade Sect. For years, he had been guarding Shengxian Town and often sold his own talismans to the Purple Jade Sect. Although the price of the talismans he sold to the Purple Jade Sect was lower than outsiders, fortunately, they were paid in Contribution Points. He had previously spent a lot of Contribution Points on buying elixirs, but he still had some left. Now, he planned to exchange everything he could for Spirit Stones before leaving.

After entering the External Affairs Hall, Wang Bai exchanged all of his accumulated Contribution Points for Spirit Stones. According to sect rules, the exchange rate between Spirit Stones and Contribution Points was ten to one, so Wang Bai ultimately received eight thousand Spirit Stones. These were nothing to her now, but every bit counted.

After getting the spirit stone, Wang Bai left the Luoxia Mountains without stopping and headed towards the more prosperous world of cultivation in the north.

It wasn't until half a year after Wang Bai left that anyone realized he'd vanished. The sudden disappearance of a Foundation Establishment cultivator caused quite a stir, and the news was quickly reported to the Purple Jade Sect's higher-ups. However, because Wang Bai had always been a solitary individual, rarely interacting with others, the matter ultimately fell through. However, for Wang Bai, this was merely a minor incident in his long journey as an immortal cultivator.

……

On the Tianjing Plain, a flying magic ship is moving rapidly.

"Thanks to Brother Wang for his help earlier. Otherwise, if anything had happened to this batch of goods, I would not be able to explain to the alliance when I return." Inside the cabin, an old man in a gray robe said to a young man next to him with gratitude on his face.

The old man's name was Yu Chen, a Jindan cultivator from the Hundred Cities Alliance, one of the three major Nascent Soul factions in the Tianjing Plains. This time, he was tasked with escorting a batch of precious natural treasures back to the Hundred Cities Alliance. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by a group of Tribulation Cultivators on his way back. As he engaged in a fierce battle with the cultivators, a young man named Wang Bai suddenly intervened, repelling the group.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, you are too polite. I took action at that time only for the sake of self-protection. After all, if we don't repel the robbery cultivator, we might not be able to leave." Wang Bai smiled and waved his hand.

Hearing this, Yu Chen quickly shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, you're joking. If Daozhi hadn't intervened in time, even if I didn't die, I would have lost this batch of goods and would have faced punishment from the alliance. I will definitely repay this kindness in the future!"

"Fellow Daoist Yu, there's no need to be so polite. I just did it for the convenience of the moment. However, I've just arrived at the Tianjing Plain and am not very familiar with the situation here. Could you please introduce it to me?" Wang Bai asked curiously.

Seeing Wang Bai proactively inquire about the situation on the Tianjing Plains, Yu Chen immediately perked up and began explaining the situation in detail. It turned out that the Tianjing Plains was home to three major Nascent Soul factions: the Hundred Cities Alliance, the Tianxuan Sect, and the Phantom Light Forest. The Hundred Cities Alliance and the Tianxuan Sect were both human factions, while the Phantom Light Forest was the territory of the demon race. In addition, there were a number of smaller factions, but most of them were affiliated with the Tianxuan Sect and the Hundred Cities Sect.

After listening to Yu Chen's introduction, Wang Bai couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the Tianjing Plain would be so complicated. It seems that I have to be more cautious in the future."

"Fellow Daoist Wang is right. As long as we can gain a foothold in the Tianjing Plains, we must choose to join one of the two major factions. I see that since you have no affiliation, your cultivation method is moderate and peaceful, and you are a righteous person. When you return to the alliance, I can act as a recommender and recommend you to join the Hundred Cities Alliance. What do you think?"

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Yu." Wang Bai nodded in agreement. He then asked Yu Chen a few more questions about the Tianjing Plains, and Yu Chen answered them one by one. The two of them chatted happily, and before they knew it, several hours had passed.

"Looks like we've arrived. Fellow Daoist, this is the main city of the Hundred Cities Alliance, Tianyong City."

Although Tianyong City was a city, it was actually no different from a small country. After passing through the city defense formation, the flying boat arrived at a dock in the city.
