The Great Void Spirit Realm.
This day.
Li Taiqing triggered the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
Soon, dark clouds filled the sky, within which terrifying tribulation lightning was brewing, and five-colored lightning dragons rolled in the sea of clouds, terrifying one's soul.
Li Taiqing remained completely unfazed when faced with the ascension tribulation that could annihilate even the most ordinary Immortal Ascension cultivators.
"Sword, come!"
As soon as Li Taiqing finished speaking, an invisible Sword Intent, condensed to its extreme and seemingly capable of severing all laws, soared into the sky, instantly splitting into countless Sword Qi to fight against the lightning tribulation.
Not long after, the lightning tribulation dissipated.
Bathed in the seven-colored glow, Li Taiqing's body began to lighten, radiating a hazy celestial light as he leaped towards a higher level of life form.
Congratulations, Brother Li, on successfully Tribulation Transcendence!
Congratulations to Sword Immortal Li on successfully Tribulation Transcendence!
Below, the sect leaders and elders of various holy lands, as well as Lu Fan, Lin Potian, and other acquaintances and friends, shouted in unison.
Surviving this tribulation also means being able to ascend to the upper realm at any time.
Don't be fooled by Li Taiqing's ease in crossing the river; it's because his opponent has a profound foundation and an unparalleled level of Sword Dao, making him the number one Sword Dao today.
Even now, those cultivators who Immortal Ascension from the Kunlun Immortal Sect still dare not trigger the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
Failure means certain death and the annihilation of one's spiritual essence.
Several months later.
The Great Void Spirit Realm, the Nine Provinces Continent, the summit of Kunlun.
The Kunlun' main peak, shrouded in a sea of clouds, was solemn and dignified to the extreme today.
The summit plaza was already packed with people, yet completely silent.
Cultivators from various sects, holy lands, and ancient Aristocratic Clan across the Nine Provinces, regardless of their cultivation level, all held their breath and focused their gazes on the towering altar in the center of the plaza.
The altar, forged from millennia-old warm jade and Star Adamantine, is engraved with countless intricate and ancient ascension runes. At this moment, it is radiating a soft yet vast spiritual light, subtly echoing the heavens.
At the heart of the altar, a lone figure stands.
It was Li Taiqing.
He stood tall and straight, his face calm, only his eyes held a hint of expectation.
Today is the day that Li Taiqing ascends to the upper realm.
The time is approaching.
An old Daoist priest with white hair and a profound aura spoke, his voice deep and solemn, echoing across the silent mountain peak.
Countless gazes grew even more intense, filled with envy.
"Brother Li, I'll be right up!"
Lu Fan clenched his fists and muttered to himself.
He has now reconstructed a physical body for the Demon Lord, repaying his past karma, and his only goal is to ascend to immortality.
"Go up and give my regards to the master."
The Little White Tiger transformed into human form, its golden eyes filled with reluctance, yet it tried its best to straighten its back.
Nangong Wenjian close to his chest, a faint Sword Intent from his body, as if bidding him farewell.
Boom!
In an instant, the weather changed dramatically.
Li Taiqing's figure began to slowly rise within the guiding celestial light.
Her robes fluttered, like a banished immortal descending to earth, yet now she was about to return to the heavens.
"Respectfully sending Brother Li ( Sword Immortal Li) to the Immortal Realm! May the Great Dao flourish!"
The celestial light grew increasingly dazzling, and Li Taiqing's figure gradually merged into the immortal gate, becoming somewhat blurred.
The next moment, the celestial light completely subsided, the sky returned to its azure blue, and the sea of clouds continued to churn, as if nothing had ever happened.
at the same time.
Han Xuanji witnessed Li Taiqing's ascension, but also glimpsed some of the future through the Divine Pupils of Fate.
This unfortunate disciple was quite talented, but his timing for ascension wasn't good.
These are turbulent times, and most of the Ascended are in dire straits.
Unless one possesses exceptional talent like he did, enough to attract the attention of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, it's easy for them to be captured and forced into mining or even deployed to the front lines.
He's his apprentice after all, so he can't just ignore him.
In the Spirit Void Heavenly Domain, at a certain Ascension Hall.
As the celestial light dissipated, the dizzying sensation of time and space shifting slowly faded away.
After waking from his coma, Li Taiqing sensed the environment of the upper realm and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
"As expected of the Immortal Realm, the celestial energy here is so abundant."
His body was bathed in celestial energy, every inch of his flesh and blood greedily absorbing it, transforming and sublimating, forging the foundation of his immortal path.
When he stepped out of his room and looked around, he found himself in a grand hall.
However, before he could fully savor the novelty and insights of his first arrival in the Upper Realm, a chilling pressure descended upon him.
"Those who ascend from the lower realms, state your names, the realm you originate from, and the Cultivation Method you practice!"
His voice was cold and hard, carrying undisguised scrutiny and disdain.
Li Taiqing looked up and saw the clouds and mist dissipate in front of him, revealing three young men dressed in Daoist robes.
The leader had sharp eyes, scanning him up and down with a pair of probing, ethereal gazes.
Li Taiqing frowned almost imperceptibly. The other party's attitude was rude, but being a newcomer, he did not want to cause trouble. He bowed politely and said, neither servile nor arrogant:
"My name is Li Taiqing, from the Great Void Spirit Realm, and I cultivate the Sword Dao."
" The Great Void Spirit Realm?"
The leading immortal chuckled, flipped his hand, and took out a jade book. He pretended to examine it for a moment, then his expression darkened.
"You are from a lowly realm! According to the law, your origins must be thoroughly investigated! Hand over your storage Law Artifact and your natal immortal sword. After we verify them, we will register them!"
Upon hearing this, Li Taiqing's expression immediately turned cold.
Hand over your storage Law Artifact and your natal immortal sword?
How is this any different from killing him?
"Isn't what you're doing against the rules, senior?"
Li Taiqing's voice was calm.
Those who had ascended to immortality nearby witnessed this scene, but dared not speak out against it.
These people possessed profound cultivation, far beyond what newly ascended individuals like them could handle.
If you don't hand it over obediently, you'll get a beating. How will you survive then?
Some even had ulterior motives, wanting to go up and show off.
"Rule?"
The cultivator from the upper realm stepped forward, his aura intensifying, and sneered:
"In this place, my word is law! You lowly cultivators from the lower realm, newly arrived in the upper realm, dare to question me? It seems you do indeed have a problem!"
He nodded in acknowledgment.
Two cultivators behind him immediately stepped forward, their hands flashing with immortal light, and a rope transformed into two streaks of silver light, as they prepared to seize Li Taiqing.
Li Taiqing cursed his bad luck inwardly, but his eyes flashed with cold light, and his immortal sword was poised to strike, unwilling to surrender.
Upon seeing the immortal sword in Li Taiqing's hand.
The leader's eyes lit up, and he said:
"Not bad, this sword is not bad! You sure do have a treasure on you, kid!"
"Buzz--!"
Suddenly, the entire Ascension Hall trembled violently.
Time and space seemed to freeze at that moment.
The two cultivators who pounced on them froze in mid-air, their sinister smiles frozen on their faces.
The arrogance on the leader's face instantly turned into horror. He found that he couldn't even move a single finger, and his immortal power was frozen.
An indescribable, vast pressure silently enveloped the entire Ascension Hall.
Faced with this overwhelming pressure, their cultivation at the Heavenly Immortal Realm was as insignificant as ants!
The next instant, a calm yet supremely majestic voice, seemingly from the heavens above, resounded from the deepest recesses of their souls:
"When did it become your place to interrogate my people?"
