Becoming Immortal?

Everyone was utterly shocked. They had sensed that the divine palace was extraordinary as soon as they entered, but now they had seen it with their own eyes: even the Immortal Tribulation Light vanished the moment it came near the palace. They were left gaping in disbelief.

"What... What kind of treasure is this?"

"A true immortal artifact... A true immortal artifact..."

The crowd murmured to themselves.

Almost no one in the Profound Heaven Realm had ever seen a true immortal artifact.

After all, once a quasi-immortal became an immortal, they would soon leave the Profound Heaven Realm and enter the Immortal Domain.

Even so, everyone immediately agreed that this divine palace was at least an immortal-grade treasure.

Only an immortal-grade treasure could withstand the Immortal Tribulation Light.

"Miss Ling'er, may I ask... which senior bestowed this divine treasure upon you?"

Luoming asked Huo Ling'er solemnly.

Huo Ling'er nodded. "Senior Li carved this wooden palace casually. That's all."

"Everyone, we can go out now."

They all filed out of the divine palace.

Then, with a thought from Huo Ling'er, the enormous palace shrank into a wooden carving no larger than her palm.

It looked simple and dignified, yet astonishingly mystical.

The sight left everyone even more stunned.

"I'd heard long ago that there was an existence beyond the Supremes behind the Fire Kingdom... Now that I've seen this, it seems the rumors were true."

"A wooden carving made by him possesses such divine might? That's terrifying."

"Has an existence like that already become an immortal?"

Many spoke with awe.

After all, among the many Supremes, only Luoming and Hong Xuan had ever met Li Fan.

Hearing the people around them, Luoming and Hong Xuan could only smile wryly.

An immortal? That senior could kill immortals without even lifting a hand!

But they said nothing more. In their eyes, Senior Li had become a taboo existence.

They wouldn't dare mention him lightly.

"Where did you get that divine palace?"

A cool voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone hurriedly turned around—and saw that a white-haired woman had appeared beside them, though no one knew when.

Her aura was chillingly cold. Her face was stunning, yet as icy as frost, and her eyes were like frozen lakes, as if they could see through every illusion.

She had approached without a sound, and not one person present had sensed her!

"Who is she?"

"What a terrifying aura. How can she be so powerful?"

"Why do I feel like she's no weaker than the Evil God...?"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Yuanyang Supreme drew a sharp breath. "A quasi-immortal!"

A quasi-immortal!

Everyone's expressions changed.

Above the Supremes were quasi-immortals.

They only needed to receive the immortal Dao's baptism to become immortals.

They were undoubtedly the most powerful beings in existence. There were barely any in the entire Profound Heaven Realm, and almost all of them existed only in legend.

Yet one had appeared before them now.

"This was bestowed upon me by a senior," Huo Ling'er replied, a hint of wariness in her voice. She was facing a quasi-immortal, after all.

Even a Venerable would be killed with a flick of her finger, wouldn't she?

"May I take a look?"

The white-haired woman asked.

"Don't. It's an immortal artifact," Luoming whispered into Huo Ling'er's ear.

The Li Tian Divine Palace was a true treasure. How could they casually let someone else inspect it?

But Huo Ling'er hesitated. If she refused a quasi-immortal, would the woman attack?

"Don't worry. I wouldn't dare offend the owner of this artifact."

The white-haired woman spoke up.

Hearing this, Huo Ling'er immediately felt reassured.

That was right.

This had been bestowed by Senior Li. So what if the woman was a quasi-immortal?

Coveting this artifact would only invite disaster.

She immediately handed the wooden carving over.

The white-haired woman took it and examined it in her hands for a long while. A trace of reverence appeared on her face.

The longer she looked, the more solemn her expression became.

"Alas."

At last, she let out a long sigh and returned the carving to Huo Ling'er. "Such an Immortal Destiny is truly enviable."

"Keep it safe."

Huo Ling'er took the carving back and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Ascension Platform offers a great opportunity, but it also carries great danger. I meant to urge you all to turn back, but with such a powerful expert backing you, I doubt you'll come to harm."

The white-haired woman glanced at them. "If fate allows, after you become immortals, come pay a visit to the owner of that carving."

With that, she vanished on the spot.

In the next instant, she had appeared at the other end of the Supreme Being Graveyard, before the Ascension Platform!

"Come on, let's go over too!"

"We can obtain the immortal Dao's opportunity as well!"

"The Ascension Platform has gone quiet. We can approach it now."

Lingchao Supreme and the others spoke up one after another.

Everyone immediately headed toward the Ascension Platform.

After its latest outburst, the Immortal Tribulation Light seemed to have fallen dormant.

Soon, they too crossed the Supreme Being Graveyard.

They appeared outside the dazzling, seven-colored light curtain.

Within the curtain, a flight of white jade steps stretched upward without end, leading to no one knew where.

It seemed to reach straight into the heavens.

"This is the road to the Immortal Domain!"

"Can we really enter the Immortal Domain now?"

"This is an incredible opportunity!"

The crowd spoke excitedly.

The Evil God and his eight subordinates, who had arrived before them, had also stopped. None dared to act rashly.

"There's a trap here!"

The Evil God suddenly looked toward the white-haired woman.

She glanced at the Ascension Platform and replied indifferently, "So what if there is?"

"On the Ascension Platform, nine out of ten will die."

She turned and looked at Huo Ling'er. "My name is Jiang Xue. Please tell that senior that I am willing to serve as his vanguard!"

With that, she stepped into the light curtain.

In an instant, seven-colored light enveloped her.

The light washed over her, and an immense aura of the immortal Dao burst forth.

"She became an immortal?"

"An immortal was born just like that?"

"Good heavens, that's terrifying! Is this what an immortal's aura feels like?"

Everyone was utterly shocked.

Luoming and Hong Xuan were equally stunned. They had previously felt the immortal Dao's power when the Yaksha Devil General burned his demonic soul and unleashed it, but now they could see that it wasn't true immortal Dao at all. It had been nowhere close!

The true immortal Dao was enough to make people tremble!

At that moment, many Supremes even felt an urge to bow down in worship.

"She really became an immortal... She became an immortal!"

Even the Evil God Yin Xiaokong's green eyes gleamed with excitement. The wariness he had felt earlier was swallowed up by the lure of becoming an immortal.

He no longer hesitated. He stepped into the light curtain.

At once, the seven-colored aura of the immortal Dao enveloped him. The evil, uncanny aura around him rapidly faded, replaced by a sacred one.

"The immortal Dao can purify everything."

"Even an Evil God can become an immortal."

"Has the road to immortality truly opened?"

Everyone was stunned.

Even the eight Devil Generals following the Evil God stepped inside.

They, too, received the immortal Dao's baptism.

"Even Supremes can do it!"

"Let's go!"

"This is the greatest opportunity in thousands of years!"

The Supremes from Taiyan Holy Land, Ziyang Holy Land, and the other forces could no longer hold back. One after another, they stepped inside.

"The immortal Dao's baptism has reignited my life!"

An aged Supreme, who had been on the verge of crumbling to dust, cried out in delight. His white hair turned black, his old skin fell away, and he became vigorous and dashing once more, restored to the prime of his life.

"What a transformation! So this is the immortal Dao, this is the immortal Dao!"

A Supreme murmured, sensing how different the Great Dao had become.

In no time, nearly all the Supremes had gone inside.

Even Lingchao Supreme and Yuanyang Supreme entered.

"What should we do? Should we go in?"

Watching the scene, Mu Qianning's beautiful eyes were filled with longing.

This was a chance to become an immortal...

Huo Ling'er nodded. "Let's go!"

They, too, stepped inside.

The aura of the immortal Dao washed over everyone.

Mu Qianning, Huo Ling'er, and the others weren't highly cultivated; they hadn't even reached the Mahayana Stage. Yet now their cultivation surged!

Nascent Soul Realm.

Void Integration Stage!

Peak Void Integration Stage!

Mahayana Realm!

Their cultivation rose at a terrifying speed!

"I've become an immortal. I can enter the Immortal Domain!"

The Evil God laughed wildly as he stepped onto the white jade stairs!

At that very instant, a terrifying aura descended!

The dazzling seven-colored light abruptly vanished!

"The fish have taken the bait. Time to pull in the net."

A cold, emotionless voice suddenly rang out from the end of the Ascension Platform!

In an instant, everyone below turned pale!
