TL Note: term change from Immortal God (the realm after Dao Integration, titled Immortal Venerable) to Longevity Immortal. The Immortal in "Fallen Immortal Realm" refers to the realm above that, which I'm tentatively naming the True Immortal realm, but this is subject to change. It's a little confusing, so I'm open to any suggestions if you guys have any; here are the raw characters for Longevity Immortal: 长生.

"Senior, did you gain anything?" Li Fan asked from a distance.
"Hehe, not bad. The remaining ice spiritual energy here is extraordinary. Similar to the Ice Intent Heartless Pill I refine, it has effects such as calming the mind and stabilizing emotions," Chen Ying said, showing a proud expression. "Moreover, the level of this power surpasses that of the Ice Intent Heartless Pill. With this enlightenment, I am confident in improving the pill formula. I believe the refined Ice Intent Heartless Pill will have a significant enhancement in efficacy."
Envy appeared on Li Fan's face as he said, "Unfortunately, this junior has dull aptitude and couldn't sense the ice spiritual energy Senior mentioned. It's truly heartbreaking to be so close to such an opportunity and yet unable to comprehend it."
Chen Ying laughed, "The origin of this power is beyond the Nascent Soul level. As a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, it's normal for you to fail to sense it."
"If I didn't frequently take the Ice Intent Heartless Pill and become familiar with similar powers, I'm afraid it would be challenging to perceive its traces."
Looking at Li Fan, Chen Ying consoled, "You played a significant role in this. I won't go back on my word. So, tell me, what reward do you want? Contribution points? Pills? Or something else?"
Li Fan's expression became serious, "This junior dares not be greedy. It's all up to Senior to decide!"
Chen Ying was very satisfied with Li Fan's attitude.
After pondering for a moment, he took out a Tianxuan Minor Mirror and transferred thirty thousand contribution points to Li Fan on the spot.
Then, he handed a talisman to Li Fan, saying, "Contribution points are more versatile. You can buy whatever you need in the Tianxuan Mirror. This is my Communication Talisman; if you have any alchemy needs in the future, you can contact me."
Chen Ying hesitated for a moment before saying, "Eh... however, recently, I might not be in the Cong Yun Sea. The headquarters found a closed-off subworld with dense wood attribute spiritual energy, suitable for cultivating various spirit plants. They've mobilized manpower to develop it. I received a notice, and I'm also going there. At that time, you might not be able to contact me."
Li Fan listened, realizing that this subworld was the culprit causing the drastic drop in the price of the Spirit Mist Grass. Moreover, it would likely affect the prices of most herbs and spirit plants in the market, leading to a sharp decline.
This was not the main point; the most astonishing fact was that this wood attribute subworld concealed another four subworlds nearby, forming a subtle formation.
This information later triggered a conflict between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association.
However, this classified information was casually revealed. Was this really appropriate?
Looking at Chen Ying, Li Fan felt somewhat amused.
It seemed that this person might truly lack cautiousness.
Following that, Chen Ying took out another Communication Talisman, saying, "This is the Communication Talisman of my assistant, Mu Rong. He is a mid Golden Core stage cultivator with excellent alchemy skills. When I'm not around, you can contact him. I'll inform him before I leave."
Li Fan put away the two talismans gratefully and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior. I won't forget your great favor!"
"Haha! Our meeting is also a form of fate. I find you quite pleasing, so I'll take care of you a bit more. As for great favors and such, there's no need to mention it!" Chen Ying waved his hand dismissively.
"Now that it's settled, I need to go back and study how to improve the pill formula. I won't linger here any longer."
After finishing his words, Chen Ying was about to leave.
"Senior, please wait!" Li Fan stopped him.
"Oh? Do you have something else?" Chen Ying was surprised.
Seeing Li Fan hesitate, uncertain whether to speak, he frowned and instructed, "Don't beat around the bush! Just say it!"
Li Fan observed Chen Ying's demeanor and roughly understood his personality.
"Just now, I heard Senior mention that the 'exploration of the Fallen Immortal Realm will be more profound.'"
Since the start of my cultivation journey, I have heard that there are supreme experts in this world who have reached the Dao Integration and Longevity Immortal realms.
However, I have never heard any rumors about genuine True Immortals. So, I am quite curious about the Fallen Immortal Realm you mentioned. I wonder, is it a place where a True Immortal has fallen?
Li Fan's eyes sparkled with infinite curiosity as he stared at Chen Ying.
"Oh, this matter?" Chen Ying realized.
Instead of immediately answering Li Fan's question, he asked, "What is your current cultivation level?"
Due to the activation of the Disappearance Talisman, Chen Ying couldn't determine Li Fan's true cultivation level.
"I am currently at the Foundation Establishment late stage," Li Fan truthfully replied.
"Foundation Establishment late stage..." Chen Ying pondered for a moment before continuing, "Normally, only cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above should be informed about this matter. However, since you are already at the Foundation Establishment late stage, you must be close to breaking through to the Golden Core stage."
"Knowing a bit in advance won't hurt."
After a pause, Chen Ying continued with a serious expression, "Just remember, knowing about the existence of the Fallen Immortal Realm is enough. Before advancing to the Golden Core stage, your spiritual consciousness is not strong enough, and you should never attempt to explore it. Otherwise, not only will your spiritual sense be damaged, but it may also harm the foundation of your cultivation. In severe cases, it may even hinder the formation of the Golden Core."
"Spiritual consciousness strength..." Li Fan repeated silently in his heart, nodding in agreement.
Then, he immediately reacted, showing some surprise, and asked, "So, I can also explore this Fallen Immortal Realm?"
Chen Ying chuckled, "Hehe, not only you, but all cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm can enter and explore it on their own."
"However, the spiritual consciousness strength of a Golden Core stage cultivator is only enough for limited activities within the Fallen Immortal Realm. To truly explore freely, you'll have to wait until the Nascent Soul stage."
Li Fan became even more curious, "Where is this Fallen Immortal Realm located?"
Chen Ying, hands behind his back, sighed, "The Fallen Immortal Realm..."
"Is everywhere."
"Everywhere?" Li Fan was stunned.
"That's right." Chen Ying nodded. "Anywhere in the Xuanhuang Realm, through specific methods, you can enter the Fallen Immortal Realm at any time."
"But, only the spiritual sense enters; the physical body does not follow."
Li Fan furrowed his brows, "Could it be that the Fallen Immortal Realm is purely a realm of consciousness?"
"You can think of it that way. However, it has already transcended the boundaries of illusion and reality."
"In the Fallen Immortal Realm, the gains can truly be brought back to the Xuanhuang Realm."
"And dying in the Fallen Immortal Realm, at most, will only cause damage to the spiritual sense. It won't lead to a real demise."
"So, the Fallen Immortal Realm is the most explored mystery for cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above."
Li Fan immediately realized the value of the Fallen Immortal Realm.
"What exactly is in the Fallen Immortal Realm?" Li Fan couldn't help but ask.
"What's in there?" Chen Ying smiled.
He pointed around, "Whatever is here in this realm, you will find in the Fallen Immortal Realm."
