Ascension to the Immortal Realm! (4K)
On the day Lu Changsheng Ascension to the Immortal Realm, powerful figures from the eight Sects — Shushan, Martial Dao Alliance, Crouching Dragon Temple Boundless Temple, Ask Immortal Pavilion Stars Pavilion, Great Wu Dynasty, Penglai Immortal Island —all came to see him off.
As the number one expert in this world, Lu Changsheng's Ascension to Tribulation Transcendence is a momentous event.
"Changsheng, have you chosen a successor for the Shushan Sect Master?"
After witnessing Lu Changsheng's terrifying strength, Taiyuan True Person knew that Lu Changsheng's Ascension to the Immortal Realm was a certainty. Before Lu Changsheng began his Tribulation Transcendence, he asked Lu Changsheng to designate the next Sect Master leader.
Lu Changsheng, the current Shushan Sect Master, is probably the shortest-serving Sect Master in history, and he will Ascension to the Immortal Realm in just a few years.
"Qingzhi is a calm and cautious person, and his cultivation has reached the Dao Integration Realm. Over the years, he has become familiar with the affairs of Shushan and has received much of my True Disciple. Therefore, he will succeed as the Twenty-Ninth Sect Master Shushan."
Lu Changsheng gripped the Demon-Suppressing Sword and unleashed a burst of Sword Qi.
This Sword Qi contained all of Lu Changsheng's Sword Dao Comprehension so far, leaving a sword mark on the Myriad Sword Walls of Shushan.
Clang!
Lu Changsheng flicked his wrist, Demon-Suppressing Sword returned to its sheath.
"Fellow Daoists, we'll meet again in the Immortal Realm."
Lu Changsheng bowed to the powerful figures from Sects, and in particular gave Xia Ningxue and the disciples of Azure Cloud Peak a deep look before flying alone to the Tribulation-Crossing Ground.
Lu Changsheng anticipated that the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulations he would attract would be extremely terrifying. In order to avoid affecting others, Lu Changsheng instructed everyone to stay at Shushan to Guardian.
"Lu Changsheng..."
Xia Ningxue's cultivation level was still one step short, so she couldn't Ascension with Lu Changsheng and could only wait patiently for several hundred more years.
But Xia Ningxue's bright eyes held a resolute expression.
In a few hundred years, she will be able to reunite with Lu Changsheng after a long separation.
Tai Xu True Person, with his hands behind his back, gazed in the direction where Lu Changsheng Tribulation Transcendence, and couldn't help but sigh, "This child should be the fastest-growing Peerless Genius in the history of our Shushan, like a shooting star illuminating the night."
Tang Wansan said, "It's not just the fastest cultivating genius in Shushan; none of the hundreds of geniuses in our Stars Pavilion Ascension to the Immortal Realm have such a rapid cultivation speed. Even the Star Immortal Venerable who founded our Stars Pavilion took three thousand years to attain enlightenment and ascend to Ascension."
"Then this child might be the fastest Ascension legend in this world."
Tai Xu True Person was even more astonished.
His Spirit Sword Body was really nothing special compared to Lu Changsheng's Innate Dao Body.
Rumble!!
In a desolate Barren Land thousands of miles away from Shushan, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and dazzling Nine Heavens Divine Thunder descended from the sky. Even Shushan, thousands of miles away, could see the endless lightning that illuminated the heavens and the earth.
"The Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation that Sect Master Lu summoned is so astonishing, ten times more terrifying than the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder that my master summoned when Tribulation Transcendence."
Penglai Fairy had witnessed the former Sect Master Tribulation Transcendence, but Lu Changsheng's Heavenly Tribulation was ten times greater than Heavenly Tribulation she had ever seen.
The Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation lasted for a full day and night before gradually disappearing.
At the same time, everyone saw a beam of light shining down from the clouds, like Immortal Stage. Lu Changsheng, carrying the Demon-Suppressing Sword, ascended the Immortal Stage.
"The Heavenly Tribulation has ended, the Immortal Gate has opened. This world has gained another powerful being who Ascension to the Immortal Realm."
Tang Wansan was deeply moved.
Lu Changsheng successfully passed through the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation and has entered the Earth Immortal Realm, joining the ranks of immortals.
There are still many powerful figures in this world. Geniuses such as Tai Xu True Person, Divine Monk Wule, Tang Wansan, Wu Yue, and Xia Ningxue are on the verge of Ascension.
"Wait another three to five hundred years, and I will definitely go to the Immortal Realm to find you."
As Xia Ningxue watched Lu Changsheng's departing figure, she made a vow.
Taiyuan True Person said to Su Qian'er of the Ask Immortal Pavilion, "Qian'er, the path to immortality is long and arduous. Why don't we travel together?"
"You, you old codger, why are you saying these things at a time like this..."
Su Qian'er was surprised that it took Taiyuan True Person more than three thousand years to figure this out, and that he would say it at this moment, which made Su Qian'er blush.
"Disciple respectfully sees Master off."
"Grand-disciple respectfully sees off Grand Master."
Lin Qingzhi, Lu Qinglian, Mo Huazhi, Chen Xiaoyao, Ji Xuan, Chen Yao, Li Jianfei, Luo Xintang, and other first- and second-generation disciples of Azure Cloud Peak watched Lu Changsheng step into the Immortal Gate.
Lu Changsheng didn't feel much difference; Ascension to the Immortal Realm was similar to entering the Immortal Ruins.
However, the moment he entered the Immortal Gate, Lu Changsheng felt the terrifying World Power the Immortal Realm opposite him.
Compared to the vast Immortal Realm, the Small World where Shushan is located seems like a drop in the ocean.
In the Three Thousand Small Worlds, the ultimate destination for peerless powerhouses is the Immortal Realm.
"The Immortal Realm has existed for an unknown number of years. If Human Race powerhouses were to multiply Immortal Realm, the number of mortals would ultimately still be greater. However, even the mortals of the Immortal Realm, being descendants of peerless powerhouses, would all possess some level of cultivation."
Although Lu Changsheng has not yet arrived in the Immortal Realm, he can roughly estimate its Immortal Realm situation.
Between the Immortal Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds lies endless Void and the celestial sphere.
Lu Changsheng suddenly sensed several terrifying Divine Senses sweeping over from the Immortal Realm, which sent chills down his Lu Changsheng!
The supreme powerhouse of the Immortal Realm possessed terrifyingly high cultivation levels; his Divine Sense could even break through the World Power of the Immortal Realm, sweeping through the Void between the Immortal Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds.
One of the supreme Divine Senses even transformed into a black hole, devouring the stars along its path, heading straight for Lu Changsheng.
"Not good."
Lu Changsheng never expected that during his Ascension to the Immortal Realm, a supreme expert from the Immortal Realm would intervene, attempting to sever his path to immortality and prevent him from entering the Immortal Realm.
With Lu Changsheng's level of skill and abilities, he would have absolutely no power to resist the boundless black hole.
Even stars cannot escape black holes.
Suddenly, a ball of white light from the Immortal Realm enveloped Lu Changsheng, causing him to disappear into the Spatial Turbulence...
When the white light disappeared, Lu Changsheng had already entered the Immortal Realm.
The surrounding mountains and rivers were beautiful, birds sang and flowers bloomed, and flocks of cranes roamed around, not much different from the Mortal Realm. However, Lu Changsheng clearly felt that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Immortal Realm was much purer, more than twice that of Shushan!
Shushan is a renowned cultivation Holy Land in Xiazhou. The grand formation of Shushan gathers the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here is more than twice that of Shushan. Just how exaggerated must the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi be in the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Lands of the Immortal Realm?
In the Immortal Realm, even Shushan Disciple the Golden Core Realm with relatively ordinary aptitude can cultivate to the Dao Palace Realm.
Even a dog could cultivate in the Immortal Realm; if it were Three-Eyed Divine Hound like the Daoist Tuquan, it might even be able to join the ranks of immortals.
"The spiritual energy of the Immortal Realm Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is so abundant, and countless powerful beings have been born there. I need to be extra careful and survive until I become a Saint. In addition, I must find a Disciple recognized by the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator as soon as possible. If I don't take on a disciple for a day, I feel like something is missing, and my cultivation speed will be greatly affected."
Lu Changsheng concealed his aura, revealing only his cultivation level at the Dao Palace Realm.
Only by making the people of the Immortal Realm believe that he is a weak, Rogue Cultivator, harmless to humans and animals, can he survive.
Lu Changsheng flew on his sword, searching for signs of human habitation.
A massive city came into Lu Changsheng's view. The plaque above the city gate bore the inscription "Chongwu," clearly indicating the city's name.
Many cultivators entered and exited this city on swords, each possessing a powerful aura, including many experts at the Dao Palace Realm and the Void Refinement Realm.
Lu Changsheng was overly cautious. Without knowing the true strength of the city, he patiently meditated outside the city for three days and three nights, estimating the strength of the cultivators inside by observing the powerful figures coming and going.
"In the past three days, only one expert at the Dao Integration Realm has entered this city. It seems that those at the Dao Integration Realm and Void Refinement Realms Immortal Realm considered experts among mortals in the Immortal Realm. However, it's also possible that the Immortal Realm is vast, and immortals are ultimately a minority, with mortals still making up the majority. This is just an ordinary city; there shouldn't be anything within it that could threaten me. I can enter the city with peace of mind."
Lu Changsheng was an Ascension powerhouse, starting with the cultivation level of the Earth Immortal Realm, while the native inhabitants of the Immortal Realm were still mostly mortals.
Given the vastness of the Immortal Realm, an ordinary city wouldn't necessarily have Earth Immortal stationed there.
As expected, Lu Changsheng, a Rogue Cultivator, entered Chongwu City without attracting anyone's attention.
Lu Changsheng used the Soul-Seeking Technique to send out several strands of his Divine Sense to investigate the situation in the Immortal Realm within the city.
This place was originally a city of the Great Qian Dynasty, which was founded tens of millions of years ago by Peerless Genius who Ascension from one of the Three Thousand Small Worlds.
The Great Qian Dynasty started with only a few cities, but later expanded into a powerful Immortal Dynasty with 100,000 cities and hundreds of millions of subjects.
"The powerful figure who founded the Great Qian Dynasty has a similar skill level to Great Wu Empress Wu Yue, whom I've met. However, he is a terrifying being who has cultivated for tens of millions of years, and should absolutely not be provoked."
After hearing about the experiences of Martial Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, Lu Changsheng thought of an old friend.
Wu Yue once said that once she Ascension to the Immortal Realm, she will try to unify the Immortal Realm.
Martial Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was already Earth Immortal tens of millions of years ago. Tens of millions of years have passed, and his cultivation is unfathomable. It is unknown what realm he has reached, or whether he has also sought Changsheng.
Chongwu City has City Guardian Commissioner sent by the Great Qian Dynasty, who is a cultivator at the Great Completion of the Dao Integration Realm.
In the Great Qian Dynasty, strength is paramount; only those City Guardian Commissioner who have reached the Earth Immortal Realm can be promoted to Prefecture Guardian Commissioner.
The Prefecture Guardian Commissioner were all peerless masters at the Earth Immortal level.
The principle of "might makes right" is an ironclad rule that even Aristocratic Clan clans in the Great Qian Dynasty must abide by.
There are three major Lineage in Chongwu City: the Xiao Household, the Chen Household, and the Zhao Household. Among them, the Chen Household and the Zhao Household are the strongest, while the Xiao Household is the weakest.
All three major Lineage have experts at the Dao Integration Realm, but the head of the Xiao Household family is at the Fifth Layer of the Dao Integration Realm, while the heads of the Chen Household and Zhao Household families are at the Dao Integration Realm Eighth Layer, respectively.
Although the Xiao Household was weak in terms of raw power, they wielded considerable influence within the city, sharing the business of Chongwu City with the Chen Household and Zhao Household.
Because the eldest son of the Xiao Household is said to be betrothed to a Personal Disciple of the "Divine Sky Sect Sects," the number one sect in the Great Qian Dynasty, the other two families are afraid of the Xiao Household's background. Although the three families have had conflicts before, each of the two families gave up 10% of Chongwu City to the Xiao Household.
Lu Changsheng knew about the feud between the three major Lineage of Chongwu City, but he didn't take it seriously.
The fates of the three major Lineage in Chongwu City are none of his concern.
The three major Lineage of Chongwu City were not even considered third-rate Lineage in the Great Qian Dynasty, yet they had experts at the Dao Integration Realm. This shows that the Immortal Realm is indeed full of talented people.
I need to be even more careful.
"I wonder if Chongwu City has any suitable Disciple?"
Lu Changsheng's goal is to find a suitable disciple in the Immortal Realm as soon as possible and use the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator.
[Ding, the system has found a suitable Disciple for you... One has been found.]
[Ding, the system has found Disciple candidate named Xiao Fan.]
The Apprentice-Teaching Simulator suddenly announced: We've finally found a suitable apprentice!
Judging from the other party's surname, could they be a member of the Xiao Household family of Chongwu City?
Lu Changsheng decided to go to the Xiao Household's mansion to find out what was going on.
There are no Earth Immortals in Chongwu City, so Lu Changsheng is undoubtedly an invincible existence in this city.
Even if the three major Lineage of Chongwu City joined forces, they probably couldn't do anything to him.
At the Martial Platform of the Xiao Household in Chongwu City, the younger generation of the Xiao Household family gathered to compete and exchange skills.
"Dao Palace Realm, Third Layer? Xiao Fan, fifty years have passed, and you've only improved by one realm. You're truly a waste."
Two young members of the Xiao Household family clashed. One of them was defeated and looked terrible, while the victorious member of the Xiao Lineage smirked with disdain.
So what if the other party is the eldest son of the Xiao Household?
Isn't he just a piece of trash?
If it weren't for the marriage agreement between Xiao Fan and Personal Disciple of the Divine Sky Sect, Xiao Fan would certainly not have been able to obtain a large amount of Cultivation Resources from the Xiao Household.
Even though Xiao Fan obtained several times the Cultivation Resources and cultivated for five hundred years, he was only at the Dao Palace Realm, Third Layer.
Li Changye, a cultivator from Shushan in the Mortal World realm, has cultivated for five hundred years and has reached the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer. He can also easily enter the Void Refinement Realm.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Immortal Realm is far more abundant than that of Shushan. The Xiao Household also has Qi-Gathering Formation. Therefore, after five hundred years of cultivation, Xiao Fan's cultivation level of the Dao Palace Realm, Third Layer is undoubtedly considered a waste of the Lineage's Cultivation Resources by the other young members of the Xiao Household.
Several members of the Xiao Household who were younger than Xiao Fan had reached a higher cultivation level than Xiao Fan, successively reaching the Great Completion of the Dao Palace Realm, or even the First Layer of the Void Refinement Realm. They looked down on this good-for-nothing who had occupied a large amount of the Lineage's Cultivation Resources.
Xiao Fan felt the disdainful looks from his cousins and involuntarily clenched his fists.
He was unwilling to accept it.
Before reaching the Dao Palace Realm, he was a genius within the Xiao Lineage, with his cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds.
However, once he reached the Dao Palace Realm, Xiao Fan's cultivation progressed slowly, and he was surpassed by other geniuses in the clan, becoming a laughing stock among the younger generation of the clan.
Xiao Tianyun, the Lineage, frowned.
His son is engaged to Personal Disciple of the Divine Sky Sect, but now that Xiao Fan's cultivation has stagnated, how can he be worthy of Personal Disciple of the Divine Sky Sect?
The Divine Sky Sect is a powerful Sects in the Immortal Realm. Xiao Fan, who Dao Palace Realm, Third Layer for five hundred years, is absolutely not worthy of being Personal Disciple of the Divine Sky Sect.
The other Elders of the Xiao Household looked at them with even more disdain.
The more useless the chieftain's son is, the more opportunities they have to take his place.
They were just looking forward to seeing Xiao Tianyun and his son Xiao Fan make a fool of themselves.
With his cultivation at the Earth Immortal Realm, Lu Changsheng secretly observed and spyed on Xiao Fan, the eldest son of the Xiao Household.
[The system is loading the other party's information.]
[Name: Xiao Fan]
[Race: Human Race]
[Talent: Heaven-Conquering Tyrant Body, Fire Spirit Root, Alchemy Grandmaster, Unyielding Spirit]
[Cultivation Level: Dao Palace Realm, Third Layer]
[Identity: Son of the Xiao Household in Chongwu City]
[Heaven-Conquering Tyrant Body: The Special Physique of the Household Ancestor Xiao, capable of fighting against the Heavens. It requires a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to grow; a lack of heavenly materials and earthly treasures will hinder his cultivation level.]
Oh? So Xiao Fan, the good-for-nothing from the Xiao Household, is slow to improve his cultivation level because he is hampered by his Special Physique, the "Heaven-Conquering Tyrant Body".
When Xiao Fan's cultivation level was lower, the Cultivation Resources provided by the Xiao Household were enough for him to Body Tempering, but as he reached the Dao Palace Realm, he needed even more rare and precious treasures.
The Xiao Household was unaware of this and provided insufficient Cultivation Resources for Body Tempering. Xiao Fan didn't realize this either, still thinking he was a good-for-nothing who hadn't made much progress despite spending so many resources.
This child has exceptional talent.
Lu Changsheng also needed to observe his character.
Lu Changsheng accepts disciples, aptitude is one aspect, but character is another.
If someone has poor character, even if you train them, they might still betray their sect.
Lu Changsheng concealed his presence and stayed at the Xiao Household for three days.
The next day, two unfamiliar auras suddenly descended upon the Xiao Household. One of them was extremely terrifying, possessing the cultivation level of the Earth Immortal Realm!
