New Chapter: All Are Crossing
The truth of the universe, the essential nature of the Supernatural Great World? He really dares to say that, what is his true identity?
"Do you know how to preserve your physical body when undergoing the Immortal Ascension Tribulation to become an immortal?" Wang Xuan shouted from behind.
The young man stopped, turned around and looked at him, saying, "You have quite the ambition. No wonder you want to practice the Six Tribulations of Thunder and Fire and are determined to follow the path of the Nine Transformations of Ascension."
Wang Xuan had already achieved physical immortality; he just wanted to know if there was any way to conceal it, since he was about to "become an immortal" again and couldn't possibly allow his physical body to disintegrate.
"There are two ways. One is to have Good Fortune Divine Object protecting you, but you also need to be strong enough. The other is to tough it out yourself, which is very difficult." The young man shook his head.
"Do you possess any Good Fortune Divine Object?" Wang Xuan asked.
"I can't help you with that." The young man smiled. Although he thought highly of this person, he didn't have the connections to ask him to find such a rare item.
"Let me put it this way, even if the Dean and the Supreme Ruler were to intervene, they might not be able to borrow this place," the young man said.
Wang Xuan frowned; this was troublesome.
The young man thought he was ambitious and determined to retain his Primal Body. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you have great perseverance and can endure the Six Tribulations of Thunder and Fire without attracting the tribulation of Ascension to Immortality, you may have an opportunity soon. A few friends and I will be going to a special place."
"Where?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise.
"Closer to the truth of the world, I and some like-minded people are planning to explore that place," the young man said in a low voice.
Those who share the same ideals should be qualified to join only after breaking through the limits twice.
"I'll give it a try." Wang Xuan nodded, and then he asked the man his identity and how to address him.
"Yan Que," he introduced himself.
Of course, this "Yan Que" is Wang Xuan's translation of the Mother Universe.
The man's name corresponds to a very common bird, which in this universe is often compared to the terrifying Divine Bird that soar through the heavens.
In fact, the man's name was even less desirable than the "Yan Que" that Wang Xuan had translated after understanding it; it carried a rather contemptuous connotation.
The ordinary-looking Yan Que mocked himself. "There's nothing I can do. Since I was born, I've been far inferior to my older brother. I've been disliked for my physical attributes, and I'm not as good as my cousins. Even my appearance isn't pleasing."
Wang Xuan didn't say anything. This was just how this... unpopular young man was followed by Meng Zelin and others in the academy with utmost respect and fear.
Is it because this man has worked hard and his natural talent and cultivation are now amazing enough, or is it because his background is too terrifying?
"You don't need to guess my origins. I'm not from the Pingtian Star Domain. I've been traveling around these past few years... seeking some opportunities," Yan Que said.
After the two parted, Wang Xuan returned to his residence and searched on the academy's website, carefully studying the legendary figures throughout the history of the Upper Academy.
Someone underwent tribulation in the starry sky and successfully broke through the limit a second time.
Some people were favored by the Dean and were brought into the Outer Chaos Dojo. Under his protection, they achieved extraordinary immortal bodies, became in harmony with the Dao, and changed their destiny!
Some people, when they ascend to immortality on the Ascension Cliff, unexpectedly reshape their flesh and blood with immortal properties.
Some people even entered the Bewildering Sea, hoping to draw out a Good Fortune Item and Primal Physical Body Immortalization, but... they were shattered to pieces and died a miserable death.
Wang Xuan was astonished and quickly investigated. He discovered that the Bewildering Sea had a profound origin, having migrated from the highest spiritual realm and materialized in the Real World.
All of this was for the purpose of planting the half-dead roots of the "Spiritual Heavenly Vine," so that one day it would revive and grow into some unknown place.
Wang Xuan stayed up all night, researching a lot of information. He even went to Black-faced God and Meng Zelin to borrow some contribution points from them.
On that day, the two villains and the middleman, who had a bad reputation in the academy, were both shocked and furious. Were they being blackmailed?
They were cornered, and judging from the situation, the troublesome freshman seemed ready to challenge them to a duel at the slightest provocation, forcing them to fight to the death in the Bloody Arena.
The two villains were both angry and afraid. They accepted reality and, with gritted teeth and a heavy heart, lent Wang Xuan some contribution points from the academy.
After the news leaked, it was undoubtedly confirmed that the new student Qin Cheng was indeed a new generation of bully who had begun to target the senior students and exploit the former villains.
No matter how you look at it, it's a trend of one generation replacing the old with a new one.
"Back when that bastard Black-faced God was doing evil deeds, I still felt sorry for Qin Cheng. Now it seems we don't need to worry about him at all," someone sighed.
Wang Xuan didn't think that much about it at all. He was simply borrowing money to go to the study to find more information about the Bewildering Sea.
As a result, people in both the upper and lower houses misunderstood him.
In particular, when some villains in the academy, who are not usually good people, took the initiative to approach him and offer him some contribution points, he found it hard to get rid of the blame.
"Thanks!" Wang Xuan once again saw off another notorious student with a blank expression.
He reflected that he hadn't made any requests to them, so why were they so proactive? Had he just had a stroke of good luck?
"Even the Black-faced God and Meng Zelin have been exploited. If we offer tribute voluntarily, will we avoid being targeted by him in the future?"
Finally, Wang Xuan heard some bad rumors, and then... he ignored them and hurriedly went to his study to look up information.
Upon hearing this, Black-faced God and Meng Zelin felt that they couldn't live like this anymore and had to find a way to become immortals. Otherwise, even a freshman could bully them so badly.
The Bewildering Sea indeed originated from the Highest Grade Mental World. It was used to cultivate a vine. Once, a "common ruler" from beyond the realm led his descendants on a long journey here, allowing his chosen descendants to undergo the Immortal Ascension Tribulation to become immortals.
"Hmm, the Dean's grandson also underwent tribulation in the Bewildering Sea back then?"
However, these records and anecdotes all indicate that those people failed, were unable to preserve their Primal Body, and those who were destined to ascend to immortality did so, using their primordial spirit to reshape their physical bodies.
Some tragically, people insisted on retaining their Original Physical Body, eventually even destroying their primordial spirits, resulting in the complete annihilation of both body and soul.
"With the Spiritual Heavenly Vine, it pierces through the lost world..." Wang Xuan pondered. It was astonishing that the vine could become a path leading to a mysterious place.
Under the bright sunshine, the scenery in the academy was delightful.
Many areas hold hidden secrets. For example, the garden with its low hills and lush woodlands is actually a Desolate Mountain with a vast interior.
Wang Xuan circled around for a long time without making a sound, and then entered the Bewildering Sea.
Wisps of mist swirl in the water, making it look like a lake from afar, but once inside, you can see a real ocean, its surface obscured by thick fog.
He did not go to the Ascension Cliff to undergo tribulation, nor did he wait for the opportunity that Yan Que mentioned. All he needed was to conceal his identity, so he quietly came here to undergo tribulation.
Tens of thousands of miles away, in the depths of the lost sea, a sudden burst of lightning erupted, shaking the heavens and the earth. The seawater was pierced through, and a large area was evaporated.
Wang Xuan roamed the Heaven and Earth, plunging into the vast ocean, but he never saw the so-called Good Fortune Strange Items revive, nor did he see any trace of the Heaven-Breaking Vine.
He wasn't someone destined for greatness.
However, he didn't need this item. In the end, he went deep into the sea and disappeared underground, completing his final catastrophe. The seabed turned red, and the seawater was boiled.
All he did was go through the motions. After activating his inner power, he completed the final tribulation of the Six Tribulations of Thunder and Fire here, making quite a grand spectacle.
"Deep within the Bewildering Sea, thunder roars and roars reach the heavens! Someone is facing a great calamity! Go and see for yourself!"
"After so much time, someone is once again ambitious and has set their sights on creating the Heavenly Vine, hoping to lure it out and achieve immortality through physical means?"
The news shocked everyone in both colleges, and many students immediately entered the Bewildering Sea, crossing the ocean to see the results.
Even if one cannot achieve it personally, all those who Ascension to Immortality throughout history in the Supernatural Great Universe know that physical immortality must have great benefits.
Because this was said by an ancient Great Sage who pursued the Dao-imperialized.
"Who gave him the courage to want to become an immortal in the physical body? He's overestimating himself!" someone sneered, shaking their head dismissively.
Preserving Primal Body is extremely difficult; in fact, there's never been anyone like that in public, not even the dean's favorite grandchildren.
Even more tragically, a descendant of the ruler of the Pingtian Star Domain was reduced to ashes as a result, not only failing to complete the journey but also losing his life.
When people arrived, the lightning subsided, the seawater was extremely hot and surging. Soon after, a pale-faced man, surrounded by divine light and swirling with divine glow, flew out riding on auspicious five-colored clouds.
"Incredible! This person survived the Six Tribulations of Thunder and Fire and even became an immortal in the process."
"Although he was very ambitious, he ultimately failed to preserve his Primal Body. Look at his pale complexion and newly formed body; he has finally ascended to immortality, and his former flesh and blood have dissipated."
Some people gloated, saying that all ambitions and lofty aspirations must shrink back in the face of reality, and the tribulation to become an immortal can shatter the delusions of all geniuses.
Many students are envious, after all, he has become an immortal, and he is a freshman. He is a genuine gifted individual, but he seems to be very dissatisfied with himself.
"Even if I'm unwilling, I have no choice. In this vast world, in this boundless universe, how many of the geniuses throughout history who tried to go against the tide, like those who crossed the river, could actually transform into dragons?"
An old man appeared and shook his head. Even some of the old folks in the academy came to take a look, but then quickly turned and left.
"Hehe..." Someone laughed, and then he burst open with a bang, torn apart by the Immortal Dao substance shot out by Wang Xuan who rushed past.
"This guy is terrifying. He just became an immortal, yet he shattered the physical body of an Upper Academy disciple who had ascended to immortality more than ten years ago."
Soon, news spread that Qin Cheng was a powerful figure who had broken through his limits twice, and his strength far surpassed that of some long-established immortals.
Disciples of the Upper Academy can apply to remain in the Real World for a period of time after becoming immortals, and those who perform exceptionally well can even remain permanently in the mortal realm.
Of course, true immortals who remain in the mortal world need to enter the system of the Pingtian Star Domain to guard the land and maintain the stability of various parts of the starry sky, which requires great effort.
Many more who achieve immortality choose to directly enter the True Immortal Realm, focusing on cultivation and exploring the path ahead; both paths have their own advantages.
"He's a remarkable person; he became an immortal so quickly." Many people in the Upper Academy were discussing this, including Qi Miao, Cheng Tian, Cai Wei, Hong Teng, and others.
"I... am bankrupt!" Only An Hong swayed. This time he had misjudged and encountered an incomprehensible newcomer.
Wang Xuan returned to his residence and went through the usual process, such as going into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation. Of course, he also contacted An Hong as soon as possible to request the first volume of the Nine Transformations of Ascension.
"Stop hiding it. You've broken through the limits twice, or even three times. You need to consolidate your realm?" Yan Que contacted him, sending a 3D projection message.
Then, he presented a hazy scene, the birth and death of a galaxy, which happened in the blink of an eye, incredibly magnificent and awe-inspiring.
In between, blurry scenes appeared, but only it was real, traversing the collapsing sea of stars, moving away, changing place after place.
"As you can see, nothing in the universe lasts forever. The Supernatural World is also changing. Even the Ancient Sage who sought to Dao-imperialized are struggling between birth and death. That is the frontier that all the sovereigns are exploring. We... will be approaching it soon. You are welcome to join us."
