I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Han Yi’s whole body shuddered, and he had an intuition that the four words mentioned by the Golden Core shopkeeper definitely involved an important secret.

Throughout his time here, other than visiting Two Realms Mountain and the Fragmented Immortal World, his range of activities had always been in the Beidou Region. In this realm, the Cultivation World was divided between the Human and Evil Clans, in a state of opposition and resistance that had persisted for 100,000 years.

He had never heard of a power that dared to use the name Beidou so arrogantly. The Beidou Immortal Palace mentioned by the Golden Core shopkeeper used the name ‘Beidou’ and was crowned the title of ‘Immortal Palace’. Even the name alone was extraordinary.

This was the realm of Cultivation. The higher the Realm, the more importance they placed on causal relationships. The impact of causality in the Great Dao was more critical. To use the name ‘Beidou’, one must bear the karma of ‘Beidou’.

And ‘Beidou’ referred to the realm formed by these seven great worlds. The weight of the karma involved was so heavy that even a real Immortal might not be able to carry the burden.

Han Yi’s expression changed constantly, as he tried to calm himself down, finally shaking his head to indicate his denial.

Seeing this, the Golden Core shopkeeper paused for a moment before continuing.

“I thought as much.”

“As a cultivator, you should be aware of the Immortal Realm above the Beidou Region, called the Daluo Immortal Realm. However, 100,000 years ago, the Daluo Immortal Realm shattered into countless fragments, losing its control over the Beidou Region. This is what led to the conflicts and war between the human and evil clans.”

“There is such a mysterious force intent on pursuing the cause of the Immortal Realm’s fragmentation and rebuilding the Daluo Immortal Realm. The name of this force is the Beidou Immortal Palace.”

“Of course, the cultivators within the Beidou Immortal Palace did not appear out of nowhere. Most of them were once powerful beings in the Human Clan Territory.”

“It is said that only a Spirit Transformation Expert can become a formal member of the Beidou Immortal Palace, gaining the right to travel between the two realms.”

“Below the formal members, there are also reserve members. Only those Nascent Soul cultivators with exceptional talent and outstanding combat power can be invited. After passing the Beidou Immortal Palace’s assessment, they can become reserve members.”

“I won’t conceal the truth from you, my dear Daoist friend. The reason I know such secrets is because I have a powerful senior who received an invitation from the Beidou Immortal Palace to participate in the assessment. However, despite his unparalleled strength among his peers, he ultimately perished. His soul tablet shattered within the sect, indicating just how difficult the assessment was.”

Han Yi’s pupils shrank sharply, and his heart was horrified. It took him a long time to calm down. While digesting these words, he also had many questions.

“I dare ask, shopkeeper, since this Beidou Immortal Palace is so powerful, why don’t they unite the Beidou Region and let the two clans confront each other? In recent years, demon cultivators from the Illuminating World had infiltrated the Yu Heng World, destroying the sacred land. If they unite, the strength of the Beidou Region would surely rise another level?”

“Moreover, why not open up the various passages in the Human Clan Territory? In this way, there would no longer be any barriers between the worlds for human cultivators. Communication would flow smoothly, and the region would thrive, reviving the glory of Beidou.”

“Further, is the Master of this Beidou Immortal Palace a true Immortal?”

The Golden Core shopkeeper simply shrugged.

“These three doubts, I too have had them. And not just the most superficial ones, but also those of a deeper nature.”

“However, the Supreme Elder who told me about this matter did not explain but said that only those cultivators who have accepted the invitation or have joined the Immortal Palace as formal members have the right to know.”

“So, as I said at the beginning, this secret is of too high a level and too difficult to value. It’s not worth charging a fee.”

“Because for ordinary cultivators, it’s akin to an elusive myth.”

After pausing for a moment, the Golden Core shopkeeper looked at Han Yi with a hint of sympathy in his voice.

“And it is the same for you.”

Han Yi was shaken once more upon hearing this, and a rare touch of confusion appeared in his eyes.

If the Beidou Immortal Palace truly controlled the Cultivation Worlds and territories belonging to the human race in the Beidou Region, then his original idea of using the method of disguising himself, soul searching, and altering the soul to contact Spirit Transformation cultivators and discover the secrets of the passages between the realms would no longer work.

In that case, he could only take the road of returning to the Yu Heng World by finding Yu Heng World cultivators in the Fragmented Immortal World through the Two Realms Mountain and the Two Realms Jade, under the guise of identity theft.

Yet, this sole path still required more than eighty years, which was far too long. Moreover, he still wasn’t sure whether his idea could be realized at all.

From the moment he crossed into this world, it had only been seventy years since he had advanced from the second layer of Qi practice to the Golden Core Peak. To wait another eighty years was something he could hardly bear.

So, after hearing the shopkeeper’s words, there seemed to be a more feasible plan laid before him: to become a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator and obtain an invitation from the Beidou Immortal Palace.

As long as he became a reserve member of the Beidou Immortal Palace, there should be a way to apply for passage through the realms to return to the Yu Heng World.

He just didn’t know how many more years he would have to wait to achieve his goal, as Han Yi was also uncertain about the timing of forming his Nascent Soul.

At present, the role of the Proficiency Panel in promoting the formation of the Nascent Soul was still unclear.

Lost in his thoughts, Han Yi’s face showed signs of confusion and emptiness.

However, as always, such confusion was only momentary. The negative emotions were nipped in the bud, and his state of mind quickly returned to normal.

Moreover, in actuality, he did not believe that there were no additional passages to the Yu Heng World aside from the ones controlled by the Beidou Immortal Palace.
