Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1821

"A Beast Tamer, huh? Indeed, I can sense several presences within you," the Ancient Immortal responded shortly after. "You were with the Immortal Monastery’s Sect Leader. What is your connection with the Immortal Monastery and the Sect Leader?"

Instead of giving a response, the Ancient Immortal questioned Yuan.

Hearing this, Yuan decided to answer truthfully with some minor lies mixed within, "I helped the Sect Leader escape the Shadow Realm—a place where souls are damned to wander for eternity. In exchange for helping him, Sect Leader Ji agreed to make me his disciple and the successor of the Immortal Monastery."

"The Shadow Realm!" The spectators present gasped in shock after hearing about this ominous place.

"He actually released someone from the Shadow Realm? Does he not fear offending the heavens—the Celestial Emperor?"

"Why would it offend the Celestial Emperor? It’s not as if our current Celestial Emperor was responsible for what happened during the Heavenly War of Immortals or Gods."

"No, but if the Celestial Emperor wanted to, he could easily free those in the Shadow Realm at any point. The fact he hasn’t means he doesn’t want them to leave for whatever reason."

There were two main reasons why nobody dared to assist those within the Shadow Realm.

First, the place was incredibly dangerous. The majority of the souls dwelling there had long lost their rationality, their souls corrupted over time. They were no different from malevolent spirits, driven by pure instinct and malice, making it perilous for anyone to venture near them.

The second reason was that nobody wanted to offend the Celestial Emperor. Just like a certain individual had mentioned, the Celestial Emperor had the power and authority to release the souls within the Shadow Realm, but he hasn’t for whatever reason.

"So you saved the Sect Leader. Very well, I shall make this a special occasion and allow you to enter with those residing within you despite having only a single token. However, they will not be able to participate in the trial, nor will you be able to contact them until you are finished with the trial," the Ancient Immortal finally said.

Yuan bowed to the Ancient Immortal, "Thank you, Senior."

"Since you are now part of the Immortal Monastery, you should address me as Founder."

"Yes, Founder."

"Now get going. You have less than ten seconds to enter."

Yuan nodded and entered the portal with just two seconds left.

As Yuan stepped through the Immortal Gates, his vision momentarily blanked, and an unsettling sensation washed over him.

It didn’t take long for him to notice a profound change within his body—and it was not a good one. His strength faded away, his talents sealed, and, most disturbingly, his cultivation had completely vanished. At this moment, Yuan realized he was no different from a mortal, stripped of all the power and talents he had.
