From This Day Forth, Shedding Mortal Flesh and Mundane Bones, Stepping Onto the True Path of Immortal Longevity!
Immediately following, thirty-six dazzling golden rays shot into the sky, tearing through the sea of clouds!
"Celestial Immortal: Shen Gonghu!"
"Celestial Immortal: Zhan Konglie!"
As each name resounded across the heavens, a corner of the star field erupted in thunderous cheers, the waves of sound rising and falling, stirring the galaxy.
Seventy-two silver rays followed closely behind the golden light, and the names of the Earthly Fiend Immortals were engraved on the yellow silk, to be forever recorded in the annals of the Thunder Palace.
"The Thunder Immortals, the Deputy Thunder Immortals, and all Heavenly Immortals, enter the Ascension Pool immediately!"
With a mighty wave of his sleeve, Yan Leizi caused the vast sea of clouds to surge violently, transforming into an ancient jade Jade Pool about ten feet in diameter, which slowly descended from the heavens.
The clear spring water in the pool shimmered with a lustrous light, and the star sand at the bottom of the pool sparkled. The spiritual energy was so rich that it turned into liquid mist, and the rhythm of the Great Dao flowed between its breaths.
"Entering the pool to cleanse the marrow and refine the meridians, one merges with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, refining one's own Daoist essence and intent, thus shedding the mortal body and impure bones, and embarking on the true path to immortality!"
Looking at the Thunder Pool before him, Luo Chuan did not enter. After all, his immortal power had already been converted into Immortal Essence, and there was no need to convert it again here.
Furthermore, the artistic conception is extremely useful to me. If I were to remove it, I would definitely find myself in an unimaginable predicament in the upcoming battle.
Luo Chuan stood with one hand behind his back, gazing at the Thunder Pool emanating a unique energy. He then thought to himself, "System, could you transfer the Ascension Pool to my Immortal Mansion?"
[In response to the host, the Ascension Pool is an extremely precious treasure in the Thunder Immortal World. The system cannot transfer it entirely, but it can replicate Ascension Pool.]
Upon hearing the system's reply, Luo Chuan remained silent, nodded slightly, and agreed, saying, "Alright, in that case, let's replicate an Ascension Pool."
[Ding: Recreating the Ascension Pool has begun, taking three years]
Watching the countdown, Luo Chuan didn't say anything more. After retracting the system interface, he stepped aside, put one hand behind his back, and quietly watched the other cultivators dissolve their spiritual essence in the Ascension Pool.
Lord Yan Leizi of the Thunder Immortal Palace strode over, stroked his goatee, looked at Luo Chuan, and nodded, saying, "Young friend Luo Chuan, why don't you enter the Ascension Pool to dissolve your own mental state?"
Luo Chuan calmly replied, "This artistic conception has been with me for hundreds of years, and there's really no way to get rid of it. But no matter what, I possess Immortal Essence, so even if I enter the Ascension Pool, it won't increase my strength."
Upon hearing this, Yan Leizi nodded slightly, clearly understanding Luo Chuan's thoughts, and therefore did not say anything further.
Luo Chuan looked at Wang Lin beside him and, seeing that the other party also had no intention of dispelling his own artistic conception, understood what Wang Lin was thinking.
"Senior, what are your plans next?" Wang Lin asked curiously.
"The Luotian Star Domain and the Cultivation Alliance Star Domain are now preparing for war, and Lu Yun of the Vermilion Bird Holy Sect of the Cultivation Alliance was once the head of my Hengyue Sect."
"If we can end this battle, that would be ideal. If not, I, Luo Chuan, have no intention of getting involved."
Luo Chuan was a powerful figure in the Cultivation Alliance Star Domain, so he never intended to help the Luotian Star Domain slaughter cultivators from the Cultivation Alliance Star Domain.
Moreover, the Cultivation Alliance is not as easy to deal with as one might imagine. You must know that the strongest member of the Cultivation Alliance is Long Panzi!
Long Panzi possessed extraordinary talent and was one of the founders of the Cultivation Alliance.
Under his leadership, the Cultivation Alliance continuously recruited cultivation elites from all walks of life and brought many cultivation kingdoms under its wing.
Ultimately, they ruled the entire cultivation world, granting the Cultivation Alliance the power to rank cultivation nations and allocate planets.
If Long Panzi joins, with the strength of their Thunder Immortal Palace, they have absolutely no chance of winning, and may even be completely annihilated in an instant.
After all, Long Panzi was a true Void Spirit stage cultivator. Even Lu Fuzi had to be wary of him, which was enough to show how terrifying the strength of the Cultivation Alliance was.
For the next period of time, Luo Chuan stayed in the Thunder Immortal Palace to cultivate. In his spare time, he would go to the Scripture Depository to play chess and chat with the elder who had previously guarded the pavilion.
The old man guarding the pavilion stroked his pale goatee, looked at Luo Chuan before him, and nodded, saying, "Congratulations on becoming a genuine Thunder Immortal of the Thunder Immortal Palace. Your status is now above all others."
"Once you break through to the Sunie Realm, you can directly join the ranks of Immortal Lords and enjoy the cultivation resources of the entire Thunder Immortal World."
Luo Chuan shrugged and said with a smile, "Senior, you flatter me. I'm not particularly interested in that. I just want to know how to break through to the Nine-Colored Ultimate Realm."
"Nine-Colored Ultimate Realm..." The old man guarding the pavilion narrowed his eyes, looking at Luo Chuan in front of him, a strange emotion that was hard to detect flashing in his eyes.
He had already told Luo Chuan back then that the Nine-Colored Ultimate Realm originated from heaven and earth, and only Luo Tian had ever possessed it throughout history. It was almost impossible to achieve the Nine-Colored Ultimate Realm.
Over the past 70,000 years, he has witnessed countless powerful figures, but those who have reached the legendary realm are almost nonexistent in the Four Immortal Worlds.
"The Nine-Colored Ultimate Realm originates from heaven and earth, and although it appears similar to the Extreme Realm, the relationship between the two is worlds apart."
"Cultivators at the Extreme Realm are invincible within their own realm, and once they reach the Nascent Soul Realm stage, there is no possibility of further breakthroughs. This is the limitation of the Extreme Realm. However, the five-colored and Seven-Colored Ultimate Realm are completely different."
"The fact that the Seven-Colored Ultimate Realm was able to follow Luo Chuan in cultivation for a thousand years and reach the early stage of the Jingnie Realm indicates that the Extreme Realm has already disrupted the balance among cultivators."
"As for the legendary Luo Tian, he is even more outrageously powerful, possessing the Nine-Colored Ultimate Realm... He can be called invincible!"
As the old man guarding the pavilion finished speaking, he gazed into the distance with a profound look, as if he had pierced through endless time and space and seen that figure who had looked down upon the world seventy thousand years ago.
Luo Chuan remained silent for a moment, then clasped his hands in a respectful bow. "Since Senior knows the secrets of the Nine-Colored Ultimate Realm, I hope you can enlighten me. This junior is eager to hear the details."
The old man guarding the pavilion withdrew his gaze, looked at the young man before him, and gently shook his head with a sigh, "Luo Chuan, I know you have a resolute character, but this Nine-Colored Ultimate Realm... I advise you to give it up."
"For seventy thousand years, countless geniuses have attempted to recreate the glory of Luo Tian, but all have ultimately failed. Some have suffered demonic possession, some have had their foundations destroyed, and some have even worse off..."
The old man guarding the pavilion paused, his tone heavy. "His soul has been scattered, and he cannot even enter the cycle of reincarnation."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chuan simply smiled calmly, "Senior, the path of cultivation is inherently arduous. If one stops moving forward because of the dangers ahead, how is one different from an ordinary person?"
"Having cultivated the Dao for so long, I have experienced countless life-and-death tribulations. If I were afraid of hardships, I should have been a comfortable disciple in the Hengyue Sect long ago. Why would I have stepped onto this vast path of immortality?"
The old man guarding the pavilion was startled, a complex look flashing in his cloudy eyes, as if he were recalling painful memories.
