Five hundred years, a full five hundred years.
"The Nine Star Domains of the Imprisoned Dragon will finally all fall under the Dao Court!"
The Imprisoned Dragon Realm, Central Star Domain.
The former Immortal-Slaying Continent has now been officially renamed the Litian Dao Court, the Litian Continent.
The entire Immortal-Slaying Sect into the Dao Court.
In fact, as early as a hundred years ago, eight of the nine star regions had already been incorporated into the Dao Court.
If it weren't for the fact that the Central Star Domain is so vast and there are so many ordinary people, it would take even longer to complete.
This time can be moved up a little further.
Lu Li's clone hovered outside the Litian Continent in the Central Star Domain.
His gaze drifted into the distance.
He was waiting, waiting for the last inhabited planet in the remote part of the Central Star Domain to be completely brought under the rule of the Dao Court.
Judging by the timeline, it should be now.
Time slips away, bit by bit.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Until a starlight transmission array lit up in the distance.
Yinyang Qingfan Fan, weary from his journey, stepped out of the starry sky to transmit the array.
Upon seeing Lu Li in the distance, he shouted loudly.
"Reporting to the Dao Lord! I have successfully completed my mission!"
"As of today, the Nine Star Domains of the Imprisoned Dragon have all fallen to my Dao Court!"
The words fell.
Lu Li looked up at the sky.
As his gaze fell upon the starry sky above, a powerful will suddenly surged forth.
This will was overjoyed, as if it had sensed something.
The entire Imprisoned Dragon Starry Sky trembled at the same moment.
Purple qi and rosy hues rose from the nine star regions, converging like a tide and covering the entire sky.
Within the purple qi, the faint phantoms of countless living beings could be seen flashing by.
Those were mortals, cultivators, Demon Beast, plants, and trees—all living beings under the rule of the Dao Court —who were now offering their allegiance to a certain being in their own way.
As the purple qi aura and rosy clouds rose, the will of Heavenly Dao was even more delighted.
Meanwhile, on the Litian Continent, inside a magnificent main hall.
Lu Li's true form slowly opened his eyes.
" Imperial Dao purple qi!"
Sensing the endless purple qi rising, Lu Li's Law Power surged uncontrollably.
An endless pressure emanated from him, spreading and radiating throughout the entire Litian Continent.
Five hundred years allowed Lu Li to achieve complete mastery of his cultivation.
He has now reached the Mahayana Perfection Supreme.
His combat prowess was earth-shattering.
He was even confident that he could crush Ji Shanhai even without using his Divine Ability.
More importantly, at this very moment, his Emperor Fate has been fulfilled!
"Boom!"
His body floated upwards, Lu Li flew out of the main hall.
It flew Litian Continent.
Until we reached the starry sky.
It retracted its clone.
Below the continent, the figures of Ye Chenfeng, Bone Mountain Supreme, and others appeared.
Everyone looked at Lu Li expectantly.
This was the first time in their Human Dao journey that they had witnessed a true Emperor Fate.
They also knew what Lu Li was going to do after gathering the Emperor Fate.
Ascend!
They had waited too long for this day.
The entire Imprisoned Dragon Realm has waited far too long.
Ye Chenfeng looked at Lu Li's back, his gaze filled with admiration mixed with complex emotions.
He already knew that Lu Li was going to ascend to the Great Desolation.
He respected Lu Li's choice.
He felt a little regretful that he couldn't go to the Jade Capital Immortal Realm to seek Ji Wan.
"It doesn't matter. Even if it's another Great Thousand Immortal Realm, it can still reach the Jade Capital."
"If I can truly ascend to the Great Desolation, I'll seek revenge on that woman once my cultivation has reached a certain level!"
Thoughts flashed through Ye Chenfeng, but his thoughts remained clear.
He was now completely focused on Lu Li.
We eagerly anticipate another homegrown ascension for the Imprisoned Dragon Realm, a feat unseen for countless years.
Even the Imprisoned Dragon Heavenly Dao was delighted.
The will containing blessings summoned boundless rosy clouds, creating momentum for Lu Li.
It seems they wanted to attract the legendary divine light that would come to their aid.
As for Lu Li, he stood beneath the sky.
The profound mystery of the Emperor Fate's decree and the power of the Imperial Dao purple qi caused his body to surge Dao Laws Law Power.
The world seemed incredibly small and fragile to him.
It was as if the entire Imprisoned Dragon Realm had become his training ground.
This change surprised and delighted Lu Li, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.
After I ascend to immortality, how powerful will the Emperor Fate decree be?
With a thought, Lu Li activated the fish-shaped jade pendant to send a message to the Great Xia.
"Hello, Comrade Azure Mountains, I am Lu Li."
"I have attained the Mahayana Perfection, and now I prepare to ascend to return home."
Lu Li's clear voice resounded throughout the Blue Star universe through the jade pendant.
The people of the Great Xia Dynasty waited for this day for nearly eight hundred years.
Eight hundred years later, the Great Xia underwent a complete upheaval.
Eight hundred years later, the Great Xia transitioned from a technological civilization to Spirit Machinery civilization.
Eight hundred years later, the Great Xia went from Spiritual Qi revival to having its own Mahayana cultivators.
Now... the Great Xia is about to welcome a true 'immortal' of its own!
The entire Solar System of the Great Xia Federation is being broadcast live on all planets and in all regions.
Hundreds of millions of people witnessed Lu Li's ascension!
Li Qingshan's voice trembled slightly.
The reply, amplified by the loudspeaker, resounded throughout the entire Great Xia.
"Approved! Initiate the final stage of the Southern Heavenly Gate Immortal Ascension Plan!"
The words fell.
Within the Imprisoned Dragon Realm, Lu Li no longer concealed his aura.
He unleashed his full Law Power.
Ascension for cultivators is simple: it's just a matter of demonstrating their cultivation level and strength to the world.
Until the Heavenly Dao of nature and the world understand that this world can no longer support him.
At this time, the Great Thousand Realm to which they belong will descend with celestial light to receive them, allowing them to ascend to the Great Thousand Immortal Realm.
Lu Li was blessed by the Emperor Fate, and the Imperial Dao purple qi poured in.
You hardly need to exert any effort at all.
The overwhelming pressure alone was enough to instill fear in the Imprisoned Dragon Heavenly Dao.
only...
Silence. A profound silence hung over the sky.
Apart from Lu Li's overwhelming pressure, which seemed to crush the very fabric of the world, there was no other movement.
The legendary divine light that was supposed to come to our aid did not appear.
This scene caused the faces of Bone Mountain and the others below to slowly stiffen.
The gazes of all the Mahayana gradually dimmed.
"Without the guiding light of immortals, does that mean ascension is still impossible in the Great Desolation Immortal Realm?"
"Is this how our lives are destined to be?"
"If even the Dao Lord can't do it, then we..."
Bone Mountain felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and a sense of powerlessness spread through everyone's hearts.
Even the Imprisoned Dragon Heavenly Dao became angry and resentful.
Why, why?
Why can't I ascend to immortality?
Why is that?!
The will of Heavenly Dao fluctuated, shattering in everyone's hearts.
All the cultivators fell silent.
Only Lu Li remained unmoved.
He had a vague idea of what was going on.
Taking a deep breath, for the first and only time in front of outsiders, he summoned the fish-shaped jade pendant.
The fish-shaped jade pendant floated in his hand.
"Well? Now, can you tell me what your latest benefit is after my Mahayana?"
Upon hearing Lu Li's voice, the fish-shaped jade pendant flashed with light.
Immediately following, a series of magnificent yet indifferent voices emanated from within.
It seemed to come from the distant past, carrying an immense sense of vicissitude.
It carries the will of countless immortals and gods.
The explosion rang in Lu Li's ears.
"Gentlemen, the flame has been lit, and the ancient past can continue."
"Since there is no guide in this desolate land, then we... shall create our own heaven!"
