"That's not right. Aren't there main gods above? How many stars are the main gods?" Wan Lei asked curiously.
"Alas, although the main gods are like your Saints, your human race can cultivate to become Saints, but our divine race cannot cultivate to become main gods. This is our flaw. Over the years, Immortal Venerable has been trying to help us find a solution, but our bloodline cannot be changed. Main gods do not have stars; they are counted by Yang, just like your Saints."
"Yang?"
"You wouldn't understand if I explained it. What are you two little Tai Xu who just ascended thinking about so much? Come, come, let's drink!"
Wan Lei quickly picked up the wine jar and took a swig with Da Da.
"You've learned about the history of the Immortal Realm. By the way, when we met earlier, you said your dog was lost? Do you have any clues? I can help you look for it?" Da Da said enthusiastically now that he had opened up.
"Oh, that's not our dog, that's our friend..."
"I understand, I understand. It's a demonic beast, right? Who doesn't have a few demonic beast friends? I even know some stellar demonic beasts. Tell me the characteristics of that demonic beast. Later, we'll go to the capital of this planet and ask at the Security Department. If you have money, you can post a bounty notice, or ask other planets through the spiritual network."
"Uh... alright then. I feel like it was captured. I saw a yellow figure flash by and then it was gone." Wan Lei didn't dare to easily mention his understanding of the Wind Blade Escape Technique, as he was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know how many people knew about this divine ability or if there were any taboos.
"Yellow, huh? That's a clue. Can you materialize the appearance of that dog? I'll help you ask."
Hearing this, Wan Lei immediately materialized the dog's appearance in his hand.
"This palm-sized little dog." Da Da took out a tablet and snapped a photo of Wan Lei's hand. Then he started fiddling with it.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu had seen this kind of tablet in the hands of the demons, and they didn't expect the Immortal Realm to have it too.
The two of them leaned over, curiously looking at the tablet in Da Da's hand, which was noticeably smaller than the demon's. As Da Da tapped on the tablet with his finger, various scenes appeared on the screen.
"What is this?" The two of them stared with wide eyes like curious babies.
"This? You haven't seen it before?"
"No. Our place is a pure cultivation plane, without this kind of technology like in your Immortal Realm."
"Oh, I see. You're from a minor plane. This thing is a product of combining cultivation and technology. The Immortal Realm has a Dao Rhyme Network that covers the entire Origin Plane, but it cannot communicate across universes. However, it can communicate within this realm. Although there was network communication before, it was generally only available on large spaceships. Later, tens of thousands of years ago, Immortal Venerable joined forces to create a communication network covering the Origin Plane and manufactured these devices, making these communication devices truly accessible to the common people. This thing is called a mobile Dao Rhyme Network Communicator. Because it's convenient and simple to hold and use, and a bit like the old jade slips, we all call it a Spirit Slip. It's not expensive; almost everyone in the Origin Plane has one. You can use it to make voice calls with friends and family, video chat, or chat on online forums, watch movies, and binge-watch dramas. Of course, as cultivators, we should focus on cultivation and not waste time on these shallow entertainments that can wear down our time and fighting spirit. I don't recommend you watch these. However, you can use it to look up things you don't understand. Cultivation techniques and divine abilities are paid, but some common knowledge can be found for free. When we get to the city later, you two should buy one."
"Mm-hmm, we'll definitely buy one." Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu nodded excitedly, their eyes sparkling.
This was too amazing. In the Lei Feng Realm, historical records and ancient texts could only be passed down by word of mouth or recorded in books, with each family hoarding them closely. Those who were not direct descendants could not see them. But in the Immortal Realm, these things could be accessed anytime, anywhere.
"But don't put too much emphasis on these. Technology is just an aid. The most important thing is our own strength. These things can help us, but we must not become addicted to them. External things are external things after all."
"Understood. Thank you for your guidance, Brother Da Da."
"Well, here, I've posted it on the forum in the Andromeda Starfield. Good heavens, quite a few people have commented, but they're all saying the dog is cute and want to adopt it. No one has seen it, though. Let's go. The hope from the forum is slim." Da Da put away the Spirit Slip and pointed north.
"Although Di Huang Star is a remote little planet, it has everything it needs. You can find whatever you're looking for in the capital. I'll take you there."
Wan Lei and the two followed Da Da and flew north. They were all at the Immortal Realm cultivation level, and Di Huang Star was not large, so they quickly reached the capital. This city was different from the towering city walls Wan Lei remembered. There were no city walls at all. As far as the eye could see, there were soaring skyscrapers, lush green plants, and the hustle and bustle of people on the roads. In the sky, many cultivators and small flying vehicles were shuttling back and forth.
"Right, to buy a Spirit Slip, you need real-name identity verification. You two don't have ID cards yet, do you? I'll take you to get one first."
"What's an ID card?"
"It's something that represents your identity, that you are legal citizens of the Immortal Realm. Without this, you are undocumented, and you won't be able to move an inch in the Immortal Realm."
"Good heavens, then we definitely need to get one." Wan Lei nodded. "Where do we go to get one?"
"The city center, the Five Elements Hall branch."
"The Five Elements Hall has a branch here too?"
"The Five Elements Hall has branches on any life-bearing planet in the Immortal Realm, as well as in the Divine Realm, Ghost Realm, and other universes. Its control over the Primary Plane is meticulous. "
"Then why isn't there a branch in our hometown?"
"Perhaps your place is too remote. After all, there are countless universes in the Primary Plane, and the Five Elements Hall was only established fifty thousand years ago. Even if ten branches were established each year, it would still be far from covering the entire Primary Plane. It's normal."
"Oh, I understand."
The three of them flew forward and soon arrived in front of the tallest building in the city center. At the entrance of the building, thousands of people were gathered.
"Huh? Why is it so lively today?" Da Da saw the crowd and immediately flew over, and the two could only follow.
When they arrived, they saw a huge screen on the building with clear red text on it.
"Oh, so there's a new bounty mission. It looks quite difficult. I guess not many people will sign up," Da Da murmured, looking at the screen.
