Ascension Is a Scam, the Treasure Banner Makes Brothers

Stand below the altar!

Jiang Yi was able to sense it keenly!

The sky above the high platform had faint spatial fluctuations.

It was as if he could blast it through with a single punch!

It bears some resemblance to the Sword Tomb of the Sword King Pavilion.

A true king of the Qingyang Sect stepped forward, took a deep breath, and then...

He raised his head and roared, the sound echoing through the Nine Heavens and shaking the entire mountain gate.

"The Ascension Ceremony... Begins!"

The members of the Qingyang Sect all bowed and saluted, almost in unison!

"Respectfully sending off the Grand Elder ascension!"

"Respectfully sending off the Grand Elder ascension!"

"Respectfully sending off the Grand Elder ascension!"

"Hahaha!"

"You should all cultivate diligently, hoping that you can also ascend to immortality like me in the future."

"I'll be waiting for you in the Upper Realm!"

The Grand Elder laughed loudly, his magical power surging forth, manifesting as a golden sun.

With a swift palm strike, a golden sun soared into the sky!

It disappeared into the sky above!

"Boom!!!"

With that single palm strike, the sky was pierced straight through, revealing a large black passage.

The spatial fluctuations are becoming increasingly intense!

An inexplicable and vast aura is rapidly descending, originating from another direction and beginning to flow into this world.

In an instant!

The earth trembled, and a deafening roar resounded!

A beam of multicolored light, like a pillar supporting the sky, descended, dazzling and indescribable.

It also carries wisps of Spiritual Qi!

Spreading in all directions!

Absolutely pure!

It's incomparable to this world!

Jiang Yi's gaze narrowed slightly!

They wanted to pass through that colorful passage and get a glimpse of what another world looked like.

But--

I only felt a hazy, misty atmosphere!

The ancient halls, seemingly orderly yet subtly visible, are clearly visible.

Ancient mountains and sacred peaks stand tall, where Flying Waterfall and torrents converge!

Birds soared through the air, their calls ringing out, while exotic beasts galloped about freely, carefree and at ease!

What a magnificent and wondrous sight!

Simply bathed in the colorful glow of the sunset, the Grand Elder already had a look of pure bliss on his face.

It felt like I was about to sink into it, unable to extricate myself!

Looking at the end of the passage, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes!

It reveals a deep longing and yearning!

That seems to be what he's pursuing!

He couldn't wait any longer; he was getting impatient and restless.

So he completely relaxed and let the rosy glow envelop him.

I felt my body gradually becoming lighter!

So light!

His entire body was thriving, radiating joy, and his previously stagnant cultivation began to loosen.

Subtle progress is being made.

It seemed that as long as he cultivated for a while, he would be able to step into the next Great Realm in one fell swoop!

As expected of the Upper Realm!

The wonders of the celestial realm are beyond words!

"Hahaha, this old man is off!"

As if remembering something, the Grand Elder turned back again and looked at Jiang Yi.

Laughing heartily,

"Young friend, then this old man will take his leave first!"

"If you, young friend, ever aspire to ascend to the heavens, you may come to my sect. You can use this place within my sect to ascend to the upper realm."

"Perhaps we'll be able to meet again then!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

The colorful rays of light flourish!

It enveloped his entire body, transforming into a rainbow of light that rushed into the passage.

Jiang Yi's Primordial Spirit stirred slightly!

As if sensing something, it separated a wisp of its divine consciousness and let it fall into the passage.

He sensed the other side of the passage!

It was completely silent!

But just as the Grand Elder ascended to heaven, a commotion suddenly occurred.

"Um?!!"

"Could this light be from someone in that lower realm attempting ascension?"

"Ascension?"

"Someone from the lower realm is about to ascend?"

"Fun! Fun!"

"You've come at the perfect time! I'm True Person short of a servant to attend to my mount."

"Then it's you!"

"Hehehe!"

"Senior brother, why don't you give it to me?"

"Recently, I have been refining a suitable treasure banner, but it just happens to be missing a main artifact spirit."

I've heard that they ascended from the lower realms!

They all possess remarkable luck!

If I could extract its soul and refine it into my main weapon spirit...

This should greatly improve the quality of the precious banner and shorten the time required for its consecration...

"Another person has come up from the lower realm?"

"It's said that those who can ascend from the lower realms are all renowned figures there!"

"So what?"

"Once he arrives in the upper realm, he's just a weak insect, completely at our mercy."

"They even dare to boast that they want to pursue the path of immortality and embark on the path of cultivation!"

"Hahaha..."

"Ascensionists? Utterly laughable!"

"Look, it's coming up! It's coming up!"

"Whoever catches him first, he belongs to them..."

After a faint scream was heard, the multicolored light dissipated.

The passageway is beginning to close again!

The wind was gentle, the clouds were light, and the sun shone brightly; everything returned to its original tranquility.

Jiang Yi withdrew his divine sense!

His eye twitched slightly, and he sighed inwardly.

It seems this fellow Daoist—

It looks like things are going badly for them!

Indeed, there's no such thing as inherently hateful; there's always something even more hateful!

Looking at it this way!

This ascension is a scam!

Thankfully, I wasn't tempted to go along, otherwise I would have become a servant alongside them.

That's a little better!

The thought of becoming a spirit of an artifact is unsettling.

What?!!

They ascended to heaven, and before they even had a chance to properly strive for success, they were already brothers within the Myriad Souls Banner!

Jiang Yi glanced around!

They were all quite excited, especially the true kings, whose eyes were shining.

Next!

It's likely that everyone in the Qingyang Sect will be incredibly motivated to cultivate.

Jiang Yi didn't say anything more, nor did he expose the so-called ascension scam.

Besides, even if I told them, they might not believe me!

Ascend to the Upper Realm!

That's the ultimate dream of every warrior!

This concept, formed over thousands or even tens of thousands of years, is deeply ingrained.

How could his words possibly change that!

Since that's the case, let this "beautiful" lie continue.

Unlike my previous life!

If you can't change the world, then you have to adapt to it.

This world is different!

Since we can't change people's minds, let's try to overturn the world.

Shape this world to fit your own form!

Let's go!

Jiang Yi's expression returned to calm as he spoke to Nangong Yao.

He then mounted his horse!

He patted the Golden Horned Horse, signaling it to leave quickly!

As for the Qingyang Sect's celebration, he had no intention of participating.

This is a way of showing respect to that Grand Elder!

To be honest...

He felt quite good about the old man.

But what a terrible outcome!

He was powerless to do anything about it!

I just hope he can become a servant!

If we're even luckier, we might escape alive.

In that case!

Perhaps they will meet again someday!

"It seems you've already figured it out!"

"How about it?"

"Isn't what I said right!"

Nangong Yao squinted her big eyes and stared intently at Jiang Yi!

Finally, she noticed a slight change in his expression!

She pouted her cherry-like lips slightly and hummed!
