    Chapter 0581: Sun-Moon Celestial Bed

    That Qin Yun had acquired weapons indeed puzzled many.

    "Could it be... that Qin Yun crafted weapons there?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

    "The Immortal Weapon Illusory Realm is just an illusory realm—how could anyone craft weapons there?" another retorted.

    "How would you know without trying? The cities inside allow trading points for weapons and spirit charms—so where do those weapons and charms come from?"

    "Could Qin Yun really craft weapons there? Wouldn’t that render him unbeatable?"

    "It seems there are no young Rune Masters in the Immortal Weapon Illusory Realm. After all, most Rune Masters are in the Dharma Protector Hall and rarely participate in such matters!"

    Several elders from the clan factions muttered discreetly.

    The Immortal Weapon Illusory Realm was originally under the control of the Dharma Protector Hall, so many were largely unfamiliar with it.

    "Regardless, you must capture Qin Yun and prevent him from entering the top ten of the Martial Arts Ranking! He must never compete in the Martial Arts Championship!" one elder commanded.

    "Yes!" the disciples acknowledged with nods.

    ...

    After finding a remote area, Qin Yun exited the Immortal Weapon Illusory Realm.

    He rose from the bed and moved about the room.

    "Even though I’ve been lying down for a long time, my body remains surprisingly nimble. Does my consciousness in the Immortal Weapon Illusory Realm affect my physical state?" Qin Yun mused, slightly alarmed.

    During the day, unless he was crafting weapons or talismans, he avoided staying in the Immortal Weapon Illusory Realm.

    Only at night was it safest for him to enter.

    "I now have over 300 points, but the tenth-ranked person has more than 3,000." Qin Yun planned his next move.

    With only eight or nine months left, amassing 3,000 points in that time would be quite challenging.

    Entering the courtyard, Qin Yun found no sign of Chu Binyu and returned to his room.

    Though the Immortal Weapon Palace was vast and hosted numerous outer disciples, most spent their time engaging in battles within the Immortal Weapon Illusory Realm.

    Alone in his room, Qin Yun took out the Diagram of the Buried Immortal.

    He let blood fall onto the mountain range depicted in the diagram, attempting to connect with Xie Qirou.

    Xie Qirou’s soul was far too potent, but her physical body was too weak, creating an imbalance that forced her to constantly suppress her soul.

    Contacting her was only possible during brief periods of stability.

    Whenever he had time, Qin Yun would attempt to connect with her through the diagram.

    This time, after letting his blood fall, Xie Qirou’s soft, melodic voice suddenly rang in his mind.

    "Xiao Yun, have you entered an immortal sect?" Xie Qirou asked.

    "Yes, I’ve entered the Celestial Armory City! But I’m still just an outer disciple," Qin Yun replied excitedly.

    "Celestial Armory City? The place that once gathered the Divine Warriors of the Immortal Barrens?" Xie Qirou sounded surprised and chuckled softly. "It couldn’t have been easy to enter, was it?"

    "It wasn't too difficult!" Qin Yun said. "Grand Tutor Sister, why did you want me to enter an immortal sect?"

    "There are many immortal sects in the Spirit Barrens, each with a Celestial Source that can absorb immortal energy from the celestial realm! You must find a way to get close to the Celestial Source, then use the Nine Sun Spirit to extract nine strands of celestial power from it to forge an immortal body!" Xie Qirou said. "Once you have an immortal body, I can guide you in doing other things!"

    Qin Yun had always wanted to cultivate an immortal body but had no leads. Xie Qirou's words gave him direction.

    "Grand Tutor Sister, as long as I find the Celestial Source, can I really forge an immortal body?"

    Qin Yun found it hard to believe, as he had learned from Ling Yuner that forging an immortal body was extremely difficult.

    "Just find the Celestial Source—I’ll teach you when the time comes!" Xie Qirou said softly. "Xiao Yun, you must be careful and not rush. Even if it takes centuries, that’s fine."

    "Centuries?" Qin Yun scoffed—he couldn’t wait that long.

    "These things take time!" Xie Qirou chuckled. "Listen to your elder sister and take it slow!"

    "Alright!" Qin Yun sighed, then asked, "Grand Tutor Sister, I’ve lost contact with Little Meilian. I can’t find her!"

    "She’s also in the Spirit Barrens, safe and doing well. I’ve contacted her before. Next time I reach out, I’ll have her look for you!" Xie Qirou said.

    "Grand Tutor Sister, have you been in touch with Yuelan?" Qin Yun felt more at ease knowing Xie Qirou often communicated with Qi Meilian.

    "Of course! You three kids are my sworn sisters’ children," Xie Qirou laughed.

    "Yuelan didn’t trash-talk me, did she?" Qin Yun grinned foolishly.

    Xie Qirou only laughed lightly in response.

    "Xiao Yun, I remember the Divine Armory City you joined has a powerful artifact called the Sun-Moon Immortal Bed!" Xie Qirou said. "Of course, it’s definitely a treasure of Divine Armory City, reserved only for the sect master and under tight security!"

    "What’s the use of this Sun-Moon Immortal Bed?" Qin Yun grew curious.

    "Lying on it allows you to absorb the power of the sun and moon, and... it can also transport your consciousness into a bizarre time-warped dimension. Ten days there equals one day here," Xie Qirou explained. "If your cultivation is strong enough, sleeping on that bed for one day could feel like a year for your consciousness!"

    Qin Yun was puzzled. "If I sleep for a few days, my consciousness would experience years in the illusory world—how’s that helpful?"

    Xie Qirou laughed. "It’s incredibly useful! For example, mastering martial arts or mystic runes takes a long time. If your consciousness trains for years while only five days pass in reality, what does that mean?"

    "It means I can advance my cultivation by leaps and bounds!" Qin Yun said.

    "Exactly. Most people waste time comprehending techniques and advanced mystic runes during cultivation. With this, you can save so much time!" Xie Qirou said.

    Qin Yun recalled the previous contest where Ying Chengyu entered every millennium just to win that Sun-Moon Immortal Bed!

    "Grand Tutor Sister, there’s a strange Divine Armory Illusion Realm in Divine Armory City..." Qin Yun filled her in on the situation briefly.

    After listening, Xie Qirou exclaimed joyfully, "The structure of this Divine Armory Illusion Realm is clearly based on the Sun-Moon Immortal Bed! In the celestial realm, many sects use such things to train disciples!"

    "Xiao Yun, this Divine Armory Illusion Realm must be connected to the Celestial Source. If you search carefully, you could detect the Celestial Source’s energy within it and extract its power to refine your immortal body!"

    "Really?" Qin Yun now understood why Xie Qirou was so thrilled.

    "In the celestial realm, such things require the Celestial Source to function!" Xie Qirou said. "Go check it out—you could stumble onto something!"

    "Alright!" Qin Yun was thrilled.

    "Great. Once you do, try to contact me, and I’ll guide you in forging your immortal body," Xie Qirou said.

    "Later!" Qin Yun quickly put away the Immortal Burial Map and lay down on the bed, entering the Illusory Soldier Realm.

    After entering the Illusory Soldier Realm, Ling Yuner said, "Xiao Yun, I suspect elder sister the Grand Tutor often contacts Little Meilian and Yuelan to guide their cultivation, which is why they’ve leveled up so fast!"

    "Ah? Then why doesn’t she guide me too?" Qin Yun said with clear jealousy.

    "Perhaps it’s easier for her to reach Little Meilian and Yuelan. Your Immortal Burial Map is different from theirs!" Ling Yuner replied.

    Inside the Illusory Soldier Realm, Qin Yun wasn’t sure how to find the Immortal Source. He closed his eyes and examined the map.

    He discovered that his current location was very close to the Safe City.

    In the Safe City, break the rules and you lose 1,000 points.

    The Safe City was also where Legions recruited new members.

    Joining a Legion had one major benefit: receiving martial arts techniques from the Legion Leader.

    Moreover, Legions had many seasoned fighters whose guidance or sparring could rapidly enhance one’s strength.

    When venturing outside, Legion members would gang up on solo players, capturing them and letting the Legion Leader claim the kill to rack up ranking points.

    Accumulated points could be exchanged for skills, which the leader would then share with the members.

    Many outer sect disciples eagerly sought to join Legions because they offered a fast path to strength.

    Qin Yun arrived at the Safe City.

    The Safe City was mostly empty, with only a few buildings in the center and many hide tents—each belonging to a different Legion.

    The buildings sold skills, charms, gear, and mounts.

    As soon as Qin Yun entered, many people noticed him.

    He didn’t hide his presence in the Illusory Soldier Realm, walking bold as brass down the road.

    Many had seen him compete at the gates of the Immortal Soldier Palace and recognized him.

    "Quite a few members of the Tyrant Dragon Legion are here, right? They’re a strong Legion, yet Qin Yun wiped their squad! Seriously scary!"

    "Haha, I wonder how the Tyrant Dragon Legion feels about that now!"

    "Entering the Illusory Soldier Realm weakens one’s strength, yet Qin Yun still took their whole team down—seriously scary!"

    "How did he do it? I’d love to recruit him into our Legion, but I’m afraid it might bring trouble!"

    Many muttered where Qin Yun couldn’t hear.

    Disciples of the Tyrant Dragon Legion, upon hearing of Qin Yun’s arrival, rushed over.

    Qin Yun also spotted Long Ziming.

    "Qin Yun, you killed me once—I’ll kill you ten times!" Long Ziming bellowed in rage.

    "Let me buy a few things first, then we’ll fight outside the Safe City. Sound good?" Qin Yun chuckled. "Last time we fought, we agreed to a fair one-v-one, but your Legion mates suddenly attacked! But hey, even when you play dirty, I’m not afraid of you!"

    Long Ziming was furious. His entire Legion had been wiped out—a massive L. If he couldn’t defeat Qin Yun, he’d get clowned on forever.

    "Fine, let’s fight!" Long Ziming held his ground. "When do we start?"

    "Right after I finish shopping! Appreciate you volunteering those points!" Qin Yun let out a loud laugh as he marched toward one of the buildings.
