Five years ago.
After Han Xuanji defeated Jian Wuchen, this prodigy from the upper realm did not become angry or ashamed, but instead showed a desire to befriend him.
Han Xuanji was naturally quite happy to do so, since he was about to ascend to immortality and it would be good to learn about the cultivation Immortal Realm from a cultivator from the upper realm.
Incidentally, you can also use their connections to visit the four famous sacred mountains overseas.
Several years passed peacefully like this.
Two years ago, Han Xuanji obtained a Purple Haze Spirit Pill at Purple Xia Immortal Mountain. After consuming it, his cultivation level immediately reached the peak of the Immortal Ascension Perfection.
Reaching this level means you've reached the limit of the Great Void Spirit Realm; staying here any longer won't lead to any further advancement.
However, Han Xuanji did not rush to ascend, but instead traveled to various places in the Great Void Spirit Realm and kept signing in.
It can be said that he directly took the entire essence of a Spirit Realm into his grasp.
Han Xuanji has signed for dozens of Immortal Artifact, but he only has one High-Grade Immortal Artifact, named the Purple Haze Immortal Robe. It has good defensive capabilities and can use the power of purple clouds to defend against immortal techniques, making it a rather good defensive immortal Immortal Artifact.
In addition, there were a large number of Immortal Spirit Stone, a hard currency in the upper realm, totaling 100,000 Immortal Spirit Stone, according to Jian Wuchen.
He came to the mortal realm to wipe out the Devil Race, but in the end, he only received a thousand Immortal Spirit Stone for completing the mission. A Low-Grade Immortal Artifact is worth about a thousand to ten thousand.
This clearly shows that these 100,000 Immortal Spirit Stone are quite valuable.
This day.
Endless Sea, Purple Xia Immortal Mountain.
The world changed color in an instant!
The once clear blue sky was suddenly shrouded in boundless, pitch-black clouds.
A terrifying pressure spread out, causing the entire Purple Xia Immortal Mountain to tremble slightly.
Calamity clouds rolled and lightning snakes danced wildly.
Han Xuanji remained calm. He possessed the Human Dao Fortune, and his foundation and cultivation were unimaginably profound.
The lightning tribulation that would have shattered the souls of ordinary Immortal Ascension cultivators struck him, but instead of harming him, it transformed into nourishment to temper his body, making his immortal light even more dazzling and his aura more refined and harmonious.
When the last bolt of divine lightning struck, the tribulation clouds did not dissipate, but instead suddenly collapsed inward.
Buzz!
A magnificent and sacred seven-colored ray of light, beyond description, burst forth from the center of the collapsing clouds of calamity!
It pierces through heaven and earth, tears through space, and emits thousands of auspicious rays and boundless radiance!
A sacred and peaceful aura instantly replaced the previous destructive pressure, illuminating the boundless ocean with a magnificent glow that even eclipsed the blazing sun!
Many powerful cultivators far away on the Nine Provinces Continent also sensed this scene.
"Is someone... about to ascend to immortality?"
"Could it be that guy?"
At this moment, many powerful figures in the Great Void Spirit Realm sensed something and gazed into the distance.
Some of them breathed a sigh of relief, while others nodded in greeting.
To be honest, Han Xuanji's existence put a lot of pressure on many people. They were wary of his strength and afraid that offending him would lead to the extinction of their entire clan. Now that this invincible Sword Immortal immortal of the Spirit Realm has ascended, they feel at ease.
At this very moment.
Han Xuanji was tall and slender, bathed in a vast expanse of seven-colored light.
The rosy light flowed, and the aura of Immortal Dao permeated the air, exuding an otherworldly aura that transcended the mundane and remained untouched by worldly dust, like a True Immortal who had stepped out of mythology, majestic and ethereal.
Xuanweizi, True Person Tianyu, Li Shanhai, and the others gazed at that godlike figure, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
They had naturally anticipated that Han Xuanji to ascend to the upper realm.
But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly!
Previously, even though Han Xuanji was not in the sect, his reputation was enough to shake the Nine Provinces, and all forces had to give the Divine Profound Sect some face. Now that Han Xuanji has ascended and left the Divine Profound Sect, the group was filled with mixed emotions.
There were moments of joy, and moments of disappointment.
Regardless, seeing with their own eyes that another Ascended cultivator had emerged from the Divine Profound Sect, the group was so excited that their hair and beards trembled.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to Elder Han (Master) on his ascension!"
The crowd offered their congratulations in unison, their voices echoing through the mountains and seas, filled with heartfelt respect.
Li Taiqing took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement and reluctance in his heart, and said loudly:
"Master, you are going ahead! Your disciple will live up to your expectations, cultivate diligently without ceasing, and soon ascend to the upper realm to serve you again!"
A resolute flame burned in his eyes—a determination to follow in Han Xuanji's footsteps.
"Practice diligently."
Han Xuanji nodded, then, as if remembering something, said:
"Oh, by the way, I've been summarizing my own Sword Dao lately; you could try learning them."
This wasn't a reward for logging in through the system, but rather the essence of his Sword Dao insights accumulated over the years, making it exceptionally valuable.
With that, Han Xuanji imparted the Mystic Heaven Sword Dao to the other party.
As for how much they can comprehend, that depends on their own destiny.
Incidentally, Han Xuanji also channeled fresh Sword Qi into the Azure Lotus Sword Gourd, which can be considered his final contribution to this world.
After saying goodbye to everyone.
"Owner..."
The Little White Tiger rubbed against Han Xuanji's leg, tilting its fluffy head back, its golden eyes shimmering with affection and reluctance, and letting out a low whimper.
Han Xuanji bent down, smiling as she gently rubbed its large tiger head; the touch was warm and soft.
" Little White, you are exceptionally talented and have a solid foundation."
Now that our great revenge has been achieved, we should devote ourselves to cultivation from now on and not slacken our efforts. We will meet again in the Immortal Realm.
Little White rubbed her hand vigorously against his palm and nodded in agreement.
Jian Wuchen, who had been silent for a moment, also stepped forward.
He gazed at Han Xuanji, who was about to ascend, his eyes filled with complex emotions, which ultimately transformed into pure respect.
"Fellow Daoist Han, the journey to the Upper Realm is vast and uncertain. If... if you have no clear destination, you may consider joining the Azure Cloud Sword Palace."
He spoke sincerely, saying:
"Although Azure Cloud Sword Palace is not a top-tier power in the Upper Realm, it still has Golden Immortal expert in charge, with a profound foundation and unique expertise in the Sword Dao, which is enough to protect you in the early stages."
Mentioning my name might save you some trouble.
Originally, Jian Wuchen did not intend to speak. After all, it was truly shameful for him, a cultivator from the Upper Realm, to be unable to defeat Han Xuanji. He had always suspected that Han Xuanji might also be from some powerful force in the Upper Realm.
I'll consider it.
Han Xuanji nodded, offering no clear reply.
When Han Xuanji stepped onto the Ascension Platform, an Immortal Ascension from Purple Xia Immortal Mountain, who was also planning to ascend, was already waiting there.
This elder, named Daoist Lingyun, had reached the Immortal Ascension Sixth Layer, a level of cultivation that was already quite rare in the Spirit Realm.
After all, not everyone has the talent and resources of Han Xuanji.
The other party hesitated to ascend in the lower realm for two reasons: firstly, to increase their resources, and secondly, because of a mission given to them by the immortals of the Purple Haze Sect in the upper realm. Now that the mission is complete, ascending will allow them to become a disciple of the Purple Haze Sect, which is considered a formal position.
According to Jian Wuchen's own words, Han Xuanji also knew that the Upper Realm was not as wonderful as it seemed.
The Upper Realm is vast and boundless, with myriad races standing side by side and countless powerful beings. The Human Race is merely one of the myriad races in the Upper Realm. Some Rogue Cultivator specialize in capturing ascendants without powerful backers to sell for money. It can be said that the competition in the Upper Realm is even more brutal than in the Spirit Realm.
Moreover, in the eyes of the beings of the upper realm, most ascendants are just ordinary cultivators whose potential has been exhausted. The sects of the upper realm will not look at you any differently just because you are an ascendant.
In reality, most cultivators from lower realms who ascend to immortality have neither inheritance nor resources, making their path extremely difficult.
Daoist Lingyun watched Han Xuanji approach and nodded with a smile:
"If Fellow Daoist Han has no further questions, then we should prepare for our ascension."
"Um."
Han Xuanji nodded.
This ascension platform can connect to the upper realm, allowing direct access to the upper realm's reception platform.
However, if one ascends directly, they will be randomly teleported to an upper realm. If they are unlucky, they may encounter powerful upper realm cultivators and be captured to mine, serve in the army, or even be refined.
"Buzz--"
In the Upper Realm, the Spirit Void Immortal Domain, a side hall flickered with spiritual light.
A middle-aged man in a blue Daoist robe yawned, as if he had just woken up.
"Let me see this batch of ascendants... Cultivation, Immortal Ascension Perfection? Less than a thousand years old... Not bad. Aptitude, Higher Vehicle? Not bad in the lower realms. Being a formal disciple is quite an achievement."
The others... tsk, they're quite a bit worse.
