At that moment, a rain of light scattered across the Road to Immortality outside, streaming in brilliant colors toward every corner of the universe, as though Immortals danced within it.
It was as if the Immortal Realm had merged with this world, mysterious and magnificent.
Dimly, all living beings sensed a dazzling torrent of order sweeping down from the heavens, formed from the gathered rain of light.
It shone like the Milky Way spilling from a heavenly river. Through it, people glimpsed a figure passing into a golden ocean and vanishing beyond the radiant Immortal Gate.
"Heavens! Someone really became immortal!"
"Ascending on rosy clouds—becoming an Immortal in broad daylight!"
Shocked cries rose from every direction, followed by waves of astonishment.
Discussion of it exploded across the Source Ring Forum. Even the lowest-ranking cultivators went mad with longing.
"Who became immortal?"
The members of the Dao Origin Divine Hall guarding the gate felt their hearts tremble. They could not help looking toward the Immortal Road behind them. Someone had become immortal.
But who?
"Cousin, was it you?"
"Could it be the Hall Master?"
Ye Fan, Primordial Beginning, and the others had mixed feelings. With immortality before them, they did not know what decision the Hall Master would make, and dark possibilities crept unbidden into their minds.
Years ago, Jiang Yun had drawn up a far-reaching battle plan for them. It encompassed not only a campaign against the Forbidden Zones but also the dream of ascending to immortality as an entire faction and waging war across the Immortal Domain and All Heavens.
At first, many had objected even to the campaign against the Forbidden Zones. Now that nineteen Supremes had fallen together, some could not help looking forward to the grander vision and vaster battle plan Jiang Yun had once described.
