New Chapter: Ascension to Immortality
The Fire Ember reignited, casting a soft, not dazzling, but rather dim light.
It was no bigger than a pond. Who could have imagined that back then, countless fragments of extraordinary meteors piled up here, and billions of feet of firelight illuminated the entire celestial realm, radiating out a Mythological Era?
Now only fragments of the meteor remain; everything has turned to ashes.
Half a day later, the fire pit went out. The Supreme Fire Ember shone brightly for a brief moment, but it couldn't last long. The fact that it could light up again was only because Wang Xuan had used the Mythological Factor at any cost.
"The Great Universe, eternally silent, occasionally a supernatural meteor streaks across the sky, all focusing here, radiating to all things, nourishing mythology, and now it's over," Wang Zesheng said.
The collapsing space, strange sounds, all rushed towards us, the entire universe was distorted, spacetime seemed deformed, and perception seemed unreal.
Fragments of extraordinary Star Remnants, one after another, lead into the endless void, each independent of the others, like steps that continuously rise and construct a path.
Wang Xuan walked forward step by step, using this to enter deep space in order to reach the other side. The light behind him had been extinguished, and the fragments of the extraordinary Star Remnants under his feet were stained with blood, and new flames rose up.
In this era, perhaps only he could pour out a large amount of mythical material, forcibly illuminating this path and making it reappear.
Outside the road, it was dark, deep, and endless. At the same time, space was still distorted, and the flow of time was abnormal. Everything you saw and felt was strange.
Some monsters were as thin as paper, completely deformed, while others had terrifying eyes that opened in the darkness, as large as planets, coldly watching.
A giant tree took root in the universe, its withered yellow leaves larger than planets, drifting and finally slicing through the planet like a celestial blade, burning out boundless flames.
The monster's whispers, like chanting, seemed to pierce one's soul, emanating from the depths of darkness, luring one out of this path and into those Space-time Trap.
Wang Xuan was indifferent and silent, his steps firm. He didn't walk fast, unlike last time when he was in a hurry. Today, every step he took was steady and powerful.
The Mechanical Xiao followed behind him, nervous yet quiet as it came here for the first time, carefully following in Wang Xuan's footsteps.
On the fragments of the Star Remnants, the blood has not yet dried, telling the story of past tragedies. Those who once had hope of stepping out of this Great Universe paved the way with their blood, only to fall at the end.
Halfway through his journey, Wang Xuan stopped and began to cultivate, sensing the Rule Aftermath in different times and spaces, and comprehending the Dharma in different worlds.
This was his established goal: before entering the Supernatural World, he had to push himself to the limit, and his minimum goal for himself was to ascend to Ascension to Immortality.
He believes that in this era, whether in the Mother Universe or on this path, the suppression is extremely severe, and the ceiling has almost locked him in.
Given the unchanging circumstances, Ascension to Immortality may be the final destination.
It is already quite remarkable that he has come this far. Apart from extraordinary individuals, all the immortals and gods of this Mythological Era have passed away, and there is no one else who is exceptional.
He was a unique case; facing a climate of corrective measures, his rise to the top despite the challenges was nothing short of a miracle, and it is not even recorded in historical texts.
At the very least, it was unique in this era.
Four years later, 159 years after the Supernatural Finale of the Mother Universe, Wang Xuan sat cross-legged for a long time, his own barriers loosened, and his cultivation improved again.
The moment he opened his eyes, his gaze was terrifying, beams of light materialized, and golden bamboo slips floated around him, swirling around him.
This is not a physical object; it is a manifestation of his inner vision. He left the original bamboo slip scriptures in the Mother Universe.
In the past four years, he has devoted himself to studying the records on the Golden Bamboo Slip. He has made another breakthrough, and the essential meanings have emerged in his mind like countless stars, resonating with his soul light.
The Dao Control Banner flew out, carrying the Mechanical Xiao away to a distance.
The First Killing Array Diagram, along with his clothes, left his body. He stood up, stood on the Supernatural Star Fragment, looked up at the sky, and prepared to undergo tribulation.
A terrifying beam of light pierced through the distorted spacetime, incredibly thick and unlike lightning; rather, it resembled a luminous mountain crashing down.
Wang Xuan endured it all. Then, amidst the terrifying beams of light, one after another, the void Lightning Tribulation seemed poised to pierce through the Great Universe.
He stood firm, displaying all his knowledge to fight against the heavenly tribulation.
One Golden Bamboo Slip after another was used to construct immortal script, which evolved into the stars of magic, condensed the trajectory of the Dao, Sword Array, true fire, time, primordial spirit weapons... all of which were materialized one by one.
It was like a magnificent performance, with his methods being varied and never repeated. This time, his enlightenment and exposition of the Dao were mainly conducted using Golden Bamboo Slip.
This tribulation lasted for quite a while and was extremely terrifying. It was still just his second tribulation after breaking through his limits, but it was even more spectacular than the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
Wang Xuan was hacked to pieces, his body charred black, but he remained standing.
Until the lightning disappeared and the terrifying heavenly tribulation subsided, his whole body glowed, and white immortal mist rose up, and his flesh and soul began to recover.
He sat down cross-legged and began to practice the scriptures recorded in the Supreme Treasure Nurturing Life Furnace to nourish himself.
He set off that very day, and after traveling some distance, he went into seclusion again, staring at the scenery outside the road, distorted in space and time.
After several brief encounters, he became cautious, sensing a different kind of rule-based atmosphere.
The feeling was as if Great Universe were squeezing in, each with its own unique energy.
This time, Wang Xuan comprehended the Dharma and diligently practiced for five years, during which time he focused on studying the stone tablet scriptures.
In the Mother Universe, 164 years have passed since the Supernatural Finale.
Beneath Wang Xuan, a stone slab slowly rotated, emitting wisps of celestial light. He sat cross-legged on it, supported and rotating along with it.
The nine True Form Diagrams recorded on the stone slab surround his physical body and resonate with his primordial spirit, emitting light and continuously demonstrating extraordinary secret techniques.
Some of the True Form Diagrams have come to life; every gesture and movement is imbued with profound wisdom and is entirely the work of immortals.
Whether it's the stone slab or the True Form Diagrams, both were manifestations of Wang Xuan's visualization, demonstrating an incredibly profound understanding.
Two days later, he began his second tribulation on this path, this time relying mainly on the scriptures on the stone tablets.
The true Heavenly Tribulation struck with unparalleled ferocity, causing his blood to splatter along the path. On one occasion, he even fell off the path and entered a distorted space, his body torn apart and on the verge of breaking.
But it was also during this process that he sensed a foreign realm, a realm different from the Mother Universe and this path.
He narrowly escaped death, Path Setting, and made a difficult return. He was seriously injured during this tribulation and recuperated here for half a month before setting off again.
However, he still stopped before reaching the finish line.
He began to study the scriptures on the old metal plate that the Sun family had given him. Years ago, Carefree Boat and Life Pool deciphered them and told him that it was the "Dao Burning Scripture".
The light was scattered, and the surrounding space was dark. On the road, Wang Xuan was like a lamp wick, emitting a soft light that formed a light curtain. Centered on himself, a lamp of rules evolved.
170 years Supernatural Finale of the Mother Universe, Wang Xuan once again underwent tribulation on the road, narrowly escaping death. This was mainly due to the distorted spacetime and the whispers of various monsters, which, combined with the Lightning Tribulation, created an extremely terrifying situation.
Once on the road again, the journey was no longer peaceful. Strange objects would occasionally burst out from the distorted space and the unpredictable dark depths of space, crashing onto the road.
He walked the path that should have ended in a day, stopping and starting, constantly seeking enlightenment and improving himself.
A withered petal fell, enormous and overwhelming, like a meteorite crashing down with terrifying power.
He raised his hand and unleashed a sword beam, cleaving the distorted, gray sky in two. With a soft "poof," the sword shattered the broken petals, causing a massive explosion.
He guided the violent energy rain formed from the petals towards him, and once again felt a different cosmic energy aura, as well as the Rule Aftermath.
Soon after, a large black mantis, over ten meters long, swooped down from deep space, its two arms like celestial blades, drawing out bright beams of light as it slashed towards him.
Wang Xuan's brow glowed, and a beam of Primordial Spirit Sword shot straight into the sky, shattering the black mantis that swooped down, sending sparks flying, before it disintegrated.
He sat cross-legged on the First Killing Array Diagram and stopped again. This time, the Dao Control Banner protected him, and the Mechanical Xiao cautiously scanned the surroundings.
177 years Supernatural Finale in the Mother Universe, Wang Xuan is on his way to formally undergo the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
Unlike before, this time he was truly struggling to cross the river, facing immense difficulties and nearly being struck by lightning multiple times, with the possibility of being completely destroyed at any moment.
Such a great tribulation is simply terrifying at this level, leaving no way out for anyone. Even though Wang Xuan is very special, walking alone in this era, going against the general environment, and with unfathomable cultivation, he was still pierced through and his bones were shattered.
During the process, he suffered horrific injuries; his eyeballs were even shaken out, his skull was ripped open, and terrifying lightning flashed around him. He was surrounded by the light of immortality, and he faced numerous tribulations.
This is a fatal calamity!
In theory, those who become immortals will have their bodies shattered. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will only be in the Primordial Spirit State. It would be good if they could leave behind a small piece of bone, unless there are special means and treasures to protect their physical body and allow it to regenerate.
Wang Xuan was very resilient; he endured it head-on without using any special divine artifacts, letting the sea of thunder penetrate his entire body, impacting every cell and weaving a net within his primordial spirit.
He endured hardships and bore it all. In the end, when he was about to explode, his primordial spirit and physical body looked up at the sky together, fighting desperately and breathing out thunder.
Puff!
His body shattered once, but he painstakingly reassembled it, and so did his primordial spirit, which was torn apart and then reformed.
In the past, those who underwent tribulation in the Mother Universe could not retain their Primal Body. They only reshaped their physical bodies after their primordial spirits ascended to the Immortal Realm.
At present, Wang Xuan is determined to persist.
On the road, in distorted spacetime, amidst different cosmic atmospheres, he felt that different places had commonalities. The Immortal Ascension Tribulation was terrifying, wantonly killing and making it difficult for the physical body to survive.
In the end, he even saw a light like a celestial sword slashing down from the lightning in the void!
Wang Xuan's pupils contracted as he was reborn amidst the lightning and fire. He used the Undying Silkworm Regeneration Technique once, causing his body to erupt with boundless vitality, squeezing out his potential and elevating him to a top-tier, powerful state.
Blood splattered everywhere, and lightning like a celestial sword struck down, slashing him horribly. He was cut in half at the waist, and his head was almost split open, but he fought back against the odds.
Then, strange light fell again. He used a secret technique to defend against it time and time again. Although it was terrible, he never died.
177 years Supernatural Finale the Mother Universe, Wang Xuan passed through the stage of becoming an immortal and officially reached the Great Realm of Ascension to Immortality. However, his flesh and blood did not transform, and his Primal Body remained.
