Farewell to His Beloveds, Breaking Through the Realm to Ascend
Martial Sect, atop the sacred mountain.
The sea of clouds churned, and rays of light shone in myriad directions.
Dongfang Yueming stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, his gaze deep, as if piercing through the endless Xukong, looking towards that unreachable... Immortal Realm.
"Little brother..."
Hong Ling gripped his clothes tightly, her big, dark eyes already brimming with tears.
"Are you... really leaving?"
Dongfang Yueming lowered his head and gently rubbed her little head, his eyes filled with reluctance and pity.
"Good Ling'er."
I have to go.
"There, there is a wider world, and... a greater power."
Only by becoming stronger can I... truly protect you.
Although Hong Ling was extremely reluctant, she knew that with Dongfang Yueming's current strength, this world could no longer accommodate him.
"Then... then you must come back soon!"
"And..." She tiptoed and gave Dongfang Yueming a big kiss on the cheek, "Don't forget Ling'er! And don't... find Ling'er any more sisters! She already has enough sisters!"
Dongfang Yueming smiled helplessly and gently flicked her nose.
"Okay, I promise."
At this moment, Qin Rushuang, Su Wurao, and the other women also gathered around.
Although they didn't express themselves as directly as Hong Ling, their red eyes and longing gazes said it all.
"My husband, take care!"
"You must live!"
Looking at these familiar and beautiful faces, Dongfang Yueming felt a warm current surge in her heart.
He took a deep breath, burying his reluctance deep in his heart.
Then, he turned around and looked at the old thatched hut.
There, Shi Qing is fast asleep.
"Qing'er..."
He murmured softly.
"Wait for me to come back."
Having said that, he no longer hesitated!
"Boom--!"
An indescribable, terrifying aura, powerful enough to make the entire Immortal-Abandoned Continent tremble, erupted from his body!
Mahayana Perfection!
All the power was unleashed at this moment!
"Open!"
He faced the endless sky and unleashed a powerful punch!
"BOOM--!!!"
A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Astral Battlefield!
The seemingly indestructible barrier between immortals and mortals in the sky shattered inch by inch under this single punch, just like a mirror!
A dazzling golden beam of light, radiating boundless celestial energy, descended from the shattered Xukong with a thunderous roar!
Guiding light of immortals!
"That... that is..."
"Ascension! Someone is about to ascend!"
Throughout the entire Immortal-Abandoned Continent, countless cultivators looked up in astonishment at the Heaven Reaching pillar of light, their eyes filled with shock and envy!
"Dongfang Ri... is he finally leaving?"
Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, Supreme Unity Sect, Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace...
The powerful figures from various factions looked at that figure, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
There was a sense of relief and relief, but also... a slight feeling of loss.
Such a peerless genius, capable of suppressing an entire era, ultimately... departed.
Within the pillar of light.
Dongfang Yueming's body slowly rose up.
He took one last look at this world, and at the women who loved him deeply.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
[The Immortal Realm...]
[I am coming!]
"Whoosh--!"
The next moment, he transformed into an eternal celestial light, rushing into the shattered Xukong, and completely... vanished!
Inside the ascension passage, space and time are distorted, and bizarre and fantastical things abound.
Endless immortal energy, like a bursting dam, surged wildly into Dongfang Yueming's body!
But he showed no fear; instead, he opened his heart and soul, greedily devouring it all!
[Convert!]
Under the influence of this celestial energy, the magical power within him is undergoing a qualitative transformation at an astonishing speed!
Transforming from mortal "magical power" to a higher level... "celestial power"!
Just then!
"Bite--!"
The long-awaited system notification sound suddenly rang in his mind!
[Host detected to have entered a higher-dimensional world!]
[System upgrade initiation...]
[Upgrade progress: 1%...10%...50%...]
Dongfang Yueming's heart stirred.
Does the system also need an upgrade?
[That's true, after all, this is the Immortal Realm; the original rules for Point Allocation may no longer apply.]
[Ding! Upgrade complete!]
[The brand new version -- [Infinite Point Allocation System 2.0] is now online!]
[Data synchronization in progress...]
[Ding! Host has been detected to possess a large number of low-dimensional points. Currency conversion is in progress...]
[Conversion rate: 100 million points = 1 Immortal Points!]
[Current Immortal Points Balance: 3600!]
"One hundred million to one?!"
Dongfang Yueming's lips twitched slightly.
[This is way too dark!]
[I painstakingly saved up hundreds of billions, and in the end... I'm left with just a fraction?]
However, he quickly came to terms with it.
After all, this is the Immortal Realm!
The value of even a single "Immortal Points" probably far exceeds one hundred million points in the Lower Realm!
[Ding! The host has been detected to possess multiple top-tier cultivation techniques, all of which have Perfection, meeting the condition of 'All Techniques Return to One'!]
[Should we proceed with the final fusion?]
"Merge!"
Dongfang Yueming did not hesitate at all!
This is exactly what he has been pursuing all along!
"Boom--!"
In an instant!
A raging storm was brewing deep within his Sea of Consciousness!
The Great Dao Return to Origin Art, The I Alone Am Supreme Technique, The Nine Heavens Wind-Control Art, The Supreme Sword Canon, The Water-Fire Mutual Aid Art, The Blood God Scripture, The Dragon Transformation Art, The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art, The Light and Darkness Sacred Canon, The Geng Metal Slaughter Art...
Dozens of supreme scriptures that led directly to the path of Human Immortal transformed into countless golden runes, colliding, intertwining, and evolving wildly within his Sea of Consciousness!
Wind, thunder, water, fire, metal, wood, earth, light, darkness, blood, sword, martial arts, dragon...
All attributes and all laws were forcibly fused into one at this moment by a supreme will!
"Buzz--!"
I don't know how much time passed.
When all the runes disappeared.
An ancient scripture, exuding an aura of chaos and seemingly containing the secrets of the universe's origin, slowly emerged!
[Ding! Fusion successful!]
[Obtained the supreme immortal scripture - "Origin Immortal Art"!]
[Current Realm: Human Immortal First Level!]
"BOOM--!!!"
As the new cultivation technique was activated, the immortal power within Dongfang Yueming's body surged instantly!
It is a primordial power that encompasses all things, yet transcends them all!
At that moment, he felt as if he had touched... the end of the Great Dao!
