Wu Yu arrived at the Well of Eternal Life swiftly.

After which, he dived into the Well of Eternal Life. This time, he had to head for the 5,000th level of heaven from the 2,000 level of heaven. This would likely take some time.

Moreover, the higher he went, the more exhaustive it would be.

Wu Yu had burned up substantial strength in the battle against the Tian Ming Dragon Lord.

Now, although he had progressed in cultivation level, his immortal energy and buddha energy were still lacking. 100 years of absorbing immortal qi still couldn’t replenish the energy.

Nonetheless, it shouldn’t be any issue for him to battle someone in the first tier of the Immortal Lord Realm.

If he had full Bodhi immortal energy, defeating the Tian Ming Dragon Lord would be easier than before and he wouldn’t have to resort to Immolate.

Nonetheless, he was also aware that there were countless geniuses and experts from all over the sky palaces that were a lot stronger than the Tian Ming Dragon Lord.

Although his potential was limitless and his progress had been compelling, there was still a large cloud of immortals that were way stronger than him.

Those were existences that had reached immortalhood several hundreds of thousands of years ago. In terms of seniority, they could have been Wu Yu’s ancient, ancient ancestors.

Within the Well of Eternal Life, Wu Yu continued upwards one level at a time.

The time spent to cross 3,000 levels of heaven in the Well of Eternal Life wouldn’t be short.

Although there was still 20 years, Wu Yu could tell that the Sublime Gracious Sky would turn lively really soon. This was because he could sense that many people around him had the same destination as him.

And these people might just be in possession of an Immortal King Token.

However, Wu Yu couldn’t possibly target them currently. This was because those who would be participating would at least be 5-realm immortal lords. Moreover, those 5-realm immortal lords would at most be cannon fodder in that place.

Although a total of 100 million Immortal King Tokens were issued, the ones who had the strength and had a higher chance of possessing Immortal King Tokens were still the 8-realm immortal lords or even 9-realm immortal lords.

They were the true competitors, while the majority of the immortal lords wouldn’t get anything from entering the Great Void Immortal Path.

Those 8-realm immortal lords and 9-realm immortal lords were indeed at the stage of becoming Immortal Kings and had to secure Immortal King Tokens.

They were largely immortals who had lived for at least four yuan. For them to reach the brink of becoming an Immortal King, it was testament that they were one in a trillion geniuses. Their talent was undoubtedly exceptional.

They were also countless generations older than Wu Yu.

Most immortals that came from the mortal domain would largely remain as heavenly immortals, facing difficulties to make progress. They would be geniuses if they could reach the Nine Xuan Dao Realm. As for Immortal Kings, such instances were rare and few within the past few yuans.

Clearly, at a place like the Sublime Gracious Sky, a xuan immortal like Wu Yu would definitely be among the weakest.

It was extremely difficult for a xuan immortal to reach the Sublime Gracious Sky. Others would only assume someone had brought Wu Yu in.

However, they would never believe that Wu Yu would want to enter the Great Void Immortal Path as well. At the very least, he was at least 500,000 years from becoming an Immortal King, judging from his current strength. This wasn’t something that he should be participating in.

Finally, when he was nearing the Sublime Gracious Sky, the Well of Eternal Life was almost completely blocked.

Wu Yu was frustrated as well. He was surrounded by elite immortal lords, and each of them was frighteningly powerful. He felt suffocated by the auras of these immortal lords. It was already arduous for him to continue upwards. Yet he was blocked at this point.

Although there were only 100 million Immortal King Tokens, it was said that before the Great Void Immortal Path was opened, 10 billion immortal lords who wished to enter it would gather in the Sublime Gracious Sky.

With 20 years to the opening, the Well of Eternal Life leading to the Sublime Gracious Sky was now blocked. For those who thought of setting off when the Great Void Immortal Path opened, they would likely reach the Sublime Gracious Sky only 20 years after it opened.

Therefore, to take the conservative approach, those who wished to enter would basically arrive between 20 years to 50 years before the opening. Moreover, 99% of them wouldn’t have an Immortal King Token in hand. They were largely here to try their luck.

Wu Yu had come quite early. However, to make it to the 5,000th level of heaven from the 4997th level of heaven, he took half a year.

It definitely didn’t feel comfortable to be stuck in the Well of Eternal Life. Everyone had shrunk their bodies to the smallest. As for Wu Yu, he used the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth before moving through the openings of the crowd. This also took half a year. One could easily imagine how huge the temptation of the Mark of an Immortal King was.

Fortunately, he finally arrived in the Sublime Gracious Sky!

The 5,000th level of heaven was indeed different!

This place wasn’t as vast and spacious as the sky palaces below. However, the immortal qi and treasures of this place weren’t something that the lower levels could compete with.

When emerging from the Well of Eternal Life and looking across the vast land, Wu Yu couldn’t help but feel awe.

"Move quickly. Don’t loiter around, leave immediately!"

Countless immortal lords were in wretched states after being forced out. They scattered out swiftly.

Wu Yu also accelerated by using the Somersault Cloud to jump out of this densely packed area. Looking back, the vicinity of the Well of Eternal Life was packed like sardines. At least tens of millions of elite immortal lords could be seen. Any one of them would be able to take Wu Yu down easily.

"There are too many powerful immortals!

"However, that is to be expected. They have spent several hundred thousand years in cultivation to reach where they are today.

"I just didn’t expect this place to be so congested.

"The Great Void Immortal Path is the place where one may rise as an Immortal King. Therefore, it’s impossible for these immortal lords to not risk their lives.

"This is definitely the most majestic and grand event in the sky palaces."

Wu Yu was stumped. He was intimidated by the vast land of the Sublime Gracious Sky and the fact that immortal lords were so numerous as though they were ants.

Which one of those immortal lords couldn’t easily crush him?

They had also waited for 5,000 years or even several tens of thousands of years before having this opportunity to become an Immortal King.

Each Immortal Lord Realm cultivator had their own autonomous realm.

Together with those that had stayed at the Sublime Gracious Sky from the beginning, the number of Immortal Lord Realm cultivators on the Sublime Gracious Sky was astronomical.

Wu Yu could almost envision the contest for the Mark of an Immortal King - there would be tens of thousands of people competing for one! Those who would make it to the end and become Immortal Kings would be scarce and few.

After all, Marks of an Immortal King weren’t easy to forge. The numbers would be extremely limited too. In fact, many immortal clans and families had to head over to the Great Void Immortal Path to compete for the Marks of an Immortal King.

Countless immortal lords separated in the Sublime Gracious Sky.

There were some who stayed several levels of heaven above and below the Sublime Gracious Sky to catch their breaths. However, when they saw how congested it was, they became worried they wouldn’t reach the Sublime Gracious Sky in time. As a result, they flocked and swarmed the channel too.

"On the Sublime Gracious Sky, there’s a Sublime Gracious Divine Region. That’s a place that ordinary immortals are restricted from entering and is the territory of the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor. However, he might not be there, as the Five Directional Divine Emperors definitely have other territories in higher levels of the sky palaces.

"Other than the Sublime Gracious Divine Region, there are nine huge immortal cities. At this point, each immortal city likely houses several hundreds of millions of immortal lords...."

The Sublime Gracious Sky was probably the most densely populated place throughout the sky palaces during this period. Even the lower levels of sky palaces would likely not be as congested.

Wu Yu didn’t have an Immortal King Token right now. He would have to ask around and investigate to settle the matter with the Immortal King Token.

The area with the most people gathered would naturally increase his chances.

Therefore, he chose a city known as Benevolent Immortal City and darted towards it.

"All of them are immortal lords! There are several billion people on the Sublime Gracious Sky, and you can’t win against any one of them! It’s time for you to fear and tremble, young man!" The Full Moon of Nanshan took joy from Wu Yu’s predicament.

Ye Xixi rolled her eyes and said, "You have the face to make fun of Big Brother Yu? If you get out now, anyone could send you flying worlds apart with a single breath!"

"Haha......"

However, there were truly too many immortal lords. Everyone before his eyes was an elite immortal. Their demeanor, disposition, and intensity of dao had been consolidated over several hundreds of thousands of years. Most of them were silent and appeared cold. This further suggested that a storm was brewing over the Sublime Gracious Sky.

Truth be told, this was the most dangerous place. A battle to the death over an Immortal King Token might erupt at any moment!

One’s corpse might just be thrown into the wilderness.

Wu Yu was careful while wandering around. He might just be targeted and killed on the spot if others assumed he had an Immortal King Token. These immortals had dreadful means and their own autonomous realms. If Wu Yu got too close, he might be trapped in the other party’s autonomous realm in a single instant. Without the Somersault Cloud, he would never be able to escape.

This was also the reason why many people wanted to hide in Benevolent Immortal City. At the very least, Benevolent Immortal City was managed by a number of Immortal Kings. All of them were under the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor. In fact, there might even be eternal immortal emperors among their ranks. Immortal lords would likely not have the guts to openly start a fight to contest for Immortal King Tokens.

To this day, Immortal King Tokens were traded each day. It was said that whenever the Great Void Immortal Path was about to open, 100 million immortal lords out of 10 billion would perish in battle in the competition for Immortal King Tokens. Although this was brutal, the sky palaces didn’t seem like they would step in. The Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor also did not care about what happened beyond the nine immortal cities.

Perhaps 100 million immortal lords perishing was worthwhile for the eventual hundreds of thousands of Immortal Kings?

The differences between immortal lords and Immortal Kings were huge. The Sublime Gracious Sky was filled with dangers. However, the allure still attracted numerous immortal lords to swarm this place.

Indeed, Wu Yu encountered an ambush!

It happened too abruptly, and he didn’t know where his opponent had come from. The terrifying autonomous realm surrounded Wu Yu instantly. Wu Yu only saw that his opponent seemed to be a lady before he felt the lethal murderous intent.

This autonomous realm was several times stronger than the Tian Ming Dragon Lord’s.

"Hand over your Immortal King Token and I’ll spare your life!"

The other party chided.

Wu Yu used all his strength to escape with his Somersault Cloud and dodged her attack. Although he did get away, he broke out in cold sweat. He estimated that opponent to be at least a 6-realm immortal lord, or at the sixth tier of the Immortal Lord Realm. For the current him, that was a dreadful opponent.

It was not surprising that those who came would often form groups and would only wander around when the group was at least several dozen people. Most of them weren’t in a hurry to enter the immortal city. Otherwise, once they were targeted, they might lose their lives.

Obviously, if they had Immortal King Tokens and were willing to hand them over readily, their lives would be spared.

"If I exit the city to pick up corpses each day, I would likely benefit greatly, right?" Wu Yu thought dejectedly.

𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

He had not expected there to be a place in the sky palaces where killings were so brutal. When he arrived in Benevolent Immortal City and turned around, the scene behind him was no different from a massacre hell. Savagery and murderous intent filled the atmosphere.
