Once the Little White Tiger was in the ascension passage, it planned to travel to the realm where Han Xuanji was located through a spirit pet contract.
Unexpectedly, a strange change occurred within the ascension passage.
A colossal cyan gate, engraved with countless profound runes, appeared out of thin air. An ancient and boundless aura emanated from within the gate, generating an irresistible and immense suction force, like an invisible hand that instantly seized the Little White Tiger.
"Roar!"
The Little White Tiger was filled with shock and anger, and its body erupted with the divine light of Geng Metal, trying to break free from the restraints.
The power at this moment is the " Heavenly Gate of Myriad Demons," specifically designed to guide Demon Race to ascension!
Its power originates from the ancient covenant and the Principle of heaven and earth, and is something it cannot contend with at this moment.
"What's going on? Wasn't I supposed to be going to my master's place?"
Confusion and a trace of panic welled up in Little White's heart. He struggled desperately, but was still being dragged little by little into the door by the blue light.
It could sense that the aura emanating from behind the door was of the same origin as its own, yet it was also incredibly unfamiliar and vast, definitely not from the Human Race Immortal Domain where Han Xuanji resided.
" Demon Race who ascend to immortality, regardless of their origin, shall naturally enter my Heavenly Domain of Myriad Demons."
It was a cold, emotionless voice, as if it came from the heavens above.
"No!"
Little White only felt a blur before her eyes, and before losing consciousness, she only had time to let out a mournful cry.
The next moment, powerful spatial forces completely enveloped it.
Myriad Phenomena Garden, Han Xuanji was meditating and contemplating the Dao when he suddenly felt something.
He sensed that several people in the lower realms had already ascended to immortality. After pondering for a moment, he decided to take care of them.
Although the path of cultivation depends on individual fortuitous opportunity, since there is this cause and effect, it is only right to offer appropriate assistance.
When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Although Han Xuanji has not yet attained enlightenment, the group is not considered to be completely incompetent. Those who were able to ascend to the upper realm after hundreds of years in the lower realm are considered to have good aptitude. After adapting, they can barely reach the threshold of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace.
Taiqing.
Han Xuanji called out softly.
Li Taiqing arrived upon hearing the sound and bowed in greeting.
"What are your instructions, Master?"
"Go to the Reception Hall and bring Lu Fan, Nangong Wenjian, and Lin Potian to the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace."
"That's wonderful! Brother Lu, Nangong, and Brother Lin have been eagerly anticipating seeing you in the Upper Realm."
Upon hearing this news, Li Taiqing couldn't help but smile.
Unbeknownst to him, he had ascended over a hundred years ago, his cultivation far surpassing that of his former companions. At this moment, he felt a surge of anticipation for "displaying his divine power before others."
Thinking of this, Li Taiqing hurriedly set off, following the coordinates sent to him by Han Xuanji.
After Li Taiqing walked away, Han Xuanji frowned.
"Why did this guy go all the way to such a far place..."
As a realm under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, the Great Void Spirit Realm normally leads to ascension to the Spirit Void Immortal Domain, regardless of race.
Han Xuanji then deduced the reason.
"It's the Demon Court's doing; they've actually interfered in the Human Race's ascension."
Han Xuanji shook his head, his opinion of the Demon Court dropping even further.
However, Little White couldn't just ignore him.
"Perfect timing to test his Art of Transforming into Others for Eternity."
Venturing deep into the heart of the Demon Race Immortal Domain is somewhat dangerous, but I can use my newly learned Divine Ability.
In the Spirit Void Immortal Domain, a certain reception hall once again shone with dazzling ascension light.
Three figures appeared in the main hall almost simultaneously.
It was Lu Fan, Lin Potian, and Nangong Wenjian, who had just ascended to immortality.
Lu Fan's gaze swept over the ascendants around him. They were all cultivators at the Immortal Ascension Realm, and most of them had slightly weaker auras than him, except for one person who was stronger than them.
Sensing the dense, almost impenetrable, immortal energy and the crystal-clear Principle of heaven and earth surrounding them, the group couldn't hide their awe.
Lin Potian took a deep breath, sensing the energy of heaven and earth, which was far more active and powerful than that of the lower realm, and at the same time felt a pressure.
Nangong Wenjian silently gripped the hilt of his sword, his sharp eyes warily scanning his surroundings.
"Finally... we've arrived."
Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Lin Potian and Nangong Wenjian in confusion:
Where's Little White?
"Um... I don't know."
Lin Potian and Nangong Wenjian a glance, unaware of Little White's whereabouts.
"He's Demon Race, so what if he was led astray to other places...?"
"Very likely."
"What should we do then...?"
The group frowned. They had agreed to ascend together, and it would be difficult to bring it up when they saw Han Xuanji.
"In short, let's first gather information and see if we can find out anything about Brother Li's situation."
"Perhaps he has already found Sword Immortal Han..."
Nangong Wenjian calmed down and immediately made a plan.
At this moment, several powerful cultivators arrived at the Reception Hall.
Meanwhile, in the Myriad Spirit Void Immortal Domain Heavenly Domain of Myriad Demons...
This is a realm entirely ruled by the Demon Court, where three demonic moons hang high in the sky, casting an eerie purplish-red glow.
The mountains resembled a ferocious, crouching beast, and from time to time, chilling roars of Savage Wilderness animals echoed through the air.
Little White revealed its true form, staggered to the ground, shook its slightly dizzy head, and cautiously looked around.
It sits atop a huge, circular stone platform, which is ancient and covered with various ancient Demon Race totems.
The air was filled with a rich, ethereal aura; inhaling even a single breath made its Demon Power surge.
Looking around, the sky was an eerie purplish-red, with three crescent moons of different sizes hanging high in the sky.
In the distance, the mountains rise and fall, their shapes ferocious, and from time to time, the chilling roars of Savage Wilderness beasts echo through the air.
The architecture here is also quite different from that of Human Race, mostly built of massive stones, rugged and primitive, exuding a wild and powerful feel.
"This is... the Immortal Realm of the Demon Race Immortal Domain?"
Little White's heart sank.
Before ascending, it had done a lot of research and knew how vast a Immortal Domain was. It was incredibly difficult to travel from here to the Human Race Immortal Domain where Han Xuanji was located.
Just then, a powerful Divine Sense swept over, carrying a scrutinizing meaning.
Immediately afterwards, a Demon Race general clad in black armor, with a single horn on his head and a fierce aura, appeared before the ascension platform, leading a squad of Demon Race celestial soldiers.
"Huh? A newly ascended little guy?"
The Demon Race general sized up Little White, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"His bloodline seems extraordinary; he could be recruited into our army."
"Join the army?"
Suppressing his anxiety and remaining vigilant, Little White asked:
What army should I join?
"Naturally, it is the Demon Court's army; I am the Third Vanguard Army under Lord Huntian."
The Demon Race general's tone carried an undeniable air of authority:
"Come with me to register. From now on, you will be a member of my Demon Court, and you must abide by the laws of the Demon Court and fight for the glory of my Demon Race!"
Upon hearing this, the Little White Tiger was dumbfounded.
He had no desire to join the Demon Race army. Besides, what was this talk of fighting for Demon Race honor? Although he was Demon Race, he had lived with Han Xuanji since childhood and no longer considered himself a member of the Demon Race.
"No! I want to go find my master!"
Little White subconsciously took a step back, and her Demon Power involuntarily began to circulate around her, showing her resistance.
"Owner?"
The Demon Race general's eyes sharpened instantly, and a powerful demonic aura pressed down on Little White, instantly discerning the contract on its body.
"You actually acknowledge Human Race as your masters? You are a disgrace to my Demon Race! It seems I need to teach you a lesson so you'll understand what true Demon Race pride is!"
Meanwhile, atop a majestic mountain peak.
The Demon Venerable Huntian sat atop the peak, his black scales gleaming coldly under the demonic moon, his long black hair dancing in the wind.
"It is said that the Eastern Splendor Sect killed someone from my Demon Court, so naturally we must retaliate..."
He silently considered the news he had received recently, and thought that using this as an excuse to invade the Spirit Splendor Immortal Domain should be a good idea.
Just then, he keenly sensed a ray of starlight tearing through space, and someone forcibly descended upon this place using teleportation Divine Ability.
The aura it exuded did not resemble that of Demon Race; it must have been an intruder from another race.
"Interesting."
The Demon Venerable Huntian slowly rose, his gaze fixed on the distance.
"It seems an uninvited guest has arrived."
He wanted to see who dared to be so audacious as to trespass on his territory Demon Venerable Huntian.
As he rose, the entire mountain trembled.
