Ascension

"It's no use!"

Fang Yu shook his head, his eyes filled with pity as he looked at Bai Chunyang.

He slowly looked up at the sky. The cascading water had just fallen when it encountered an invisible barrier, flowing away to both sides of the Ascension Platform and into the endless desert surrounding the mountains, nourishing the earth.

"Precious Water, which controls the sweet rains of the four seasons, today, shall align itself with the way of Heaven and nourish the eight directions!"

Fang Yu looked at Bai Chunyang, "The Great Scarlet Heaven is also part of the Black-Yellow Realm, so how could it escape the control of the Heavenly Venerable!"

Bai Chunyang wanted to close her cave, but found that she had no control over it. Her cave was being slowly swallowed up by the Great Scarlet Heaven.

She slowly looked at Fang Yu, "You... you even scheme against yourself?"

Fang Yu waved his hand and said, "I was just guessing, but judging from the current situation, it seems I guessed right. You should have figured it out by now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Chunyang suddenly sneered:

"Yes, the Great Scarlet Heaven is also part of the Black-Yellow Realm. How could it possibly escape the Heavenly Venerable's control? I understand now."

In ancient times, the Celestial Venerable and Chi were the same person. In order to completely control the Black-Yellow Realm, he created a separate identity for himself.

He transformed into the Crimson Heaven of Mount Kunlun so that he could send all the ancient cultivators into this Great Scarlet Heaven, thereby gaining complete control over them and keeping them under his control forever, while also leaving himself a path to ascension.

She looked at Fang Yu as she spoke, gritting her teeth as she said:

"You want to control the Black-Yellow Realm and ascend to another realm at the same time!"

Fang Yu nodded and said, "That should be it. After merging with the Heavenly Dao, some things will be subject to the rules of the Heavenly Dao, making them impossible to do."

Furthermore, the Celestial Venerable wasn't sure if he would never regret his actions, so he prepared for both possibilities.

Looking back now, they must have regretted it, which is why I came into being.

However, He cannot simply go to the Heaven Beyond Heaven at will; He must also act within the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, you should now be able to peacefully align yourself with the Dao of Heaven.

"Hmm! Do you have any backup plans, like creating clones? Leave it to me now, and I'll see if I can take you with me to ascend to other worlds."

Bai Chunyang's eyes widened as he asked, "Are you telling me to destroy my own backup plan?"

Fang Yu shook his head and said, "I will indeed go to the Heaven Beyond Heaven. The Heavenly Venerable will definitely not let go of your main body, but he might not be able to let go of your clone."

As the saying goes, "The Great Dao is fifty, the Tianyan forty-nine, there is still a glimmer of hope." Since I am the Heavenly Venerable, I will certainly give you a glimmer of hope; this is destiny.

Whether you can catch it or not is up to you.

"Do I... do I even have a choice now?" Bai Chunyang's face turned deathly pale with anger. 'Since the Heavenly Venerable has foreseen everything, then I can only gamble that you really will go to the Beyond Heaven.'

As she spoke, she made a grasping motion in the air, producing a jade pendant in her hand. "This contains a trace of my bloodline power. If you truly wish to take it to other worlds, then I can say I've finally escaped this cesspool."

Fang Yu took the jade pendant, and with a thought, he extracted that trace of bloodline power and sent it into the Yuanchen Pearl.

"Alright, I should get going now!"

Fang Yu uttered a sound, and with a thought, countless runes on the Ascension Platform lit up, enveloping Bai Chunyang and causing him to slowly fade away.

At the same time, the Yuanchen Pearl within Fang Yu consciousness automatically flew out, continuously expanding in the air while absorbing the power emanating from the Ascension Platform.

This power contains Bai Chunyang's true spiritual power as well as the power of the entire super fifth-order Spirit Vein. It's like a battery that's being slowly charged.

Fang Yu stretched out his palms and watched as his hands slowly became transparent, and his body cracked like a porcelain doll.

Suddenly, beams of golden light shone through the cracks in the tortoise-shell pattern, and his body began to dissipate.

Fang Yu felt himself fly up, into the Yuanchen Pearl in the air. At that moment, he had an epiphany.

"So my true form is the Yuanchen Pearl!"

Suddenly, the entire Great Scarlet Heaven lit up, and after emitting boundless golden light, the Yuanchen Pearl vanished.

The sky above the spot was covered with countless cracks, like a spider web.

"Click..."

The sky shattered, revealing a dark, swirling Great Void Storm. From it flew out a series of figures, each possessing boundless mysteries; there were exactly twenty-eight of them.

However, half of the figures were like clay or wooden sculptures, devoid of any emotion.

The ' Precious Water ' Yuanjun's eyes slowly lost their spiritual light, eventually becoming devoid of emotion, and her mouth uttered a mechanical, heavenly sound:

"The Celestial Venerable has decreed that all High Antiquity the Qi Refining Realm shall be killed without mercy!"

"I humbly obey the Heavenly Venerable's decree!"

*****

Fang Yu felt as if he were on a roller coaster, without any safety measures, with a feeling that he was suspended in mid-air and could fall at any moment.

The surroundings were chaotic, and he could not see anything, but he could clearly sense that the Yuanchen Pearl was moving rapidly towards the [Demon Martial Realm], and the ' Primordial Qi Fuel' inside the pearl, which gathered the true spirit of True Lord and the spiritual power of a Super Fifth Rank, was being consumed at an extremely rapid pace.

This made Fang Yu worry. If he didn't reach his destination before his ' Primordial Qi ' was completely depleted, would he be trapped in the Heaven Beyond Heaven?

However, his worries disappeared when he tried to sense the ' Black-Yellow Realm '.

He could clearly sense the location of the ' Black-Yellow Realm '. Even if his ' Primordial Qi ' was completely exhausted and he was trapped in the Heaven Beyond Heaven, he knew which way to drift. No matter how many years passed, he would one day be able to return to the Black-Yellow Realm, which was his guiding light in the ' Heaven Beyond Heaven '.

Although he knew that he was most likely an incarnation of the ' Black and Yellow Heavenly Venerable ', Fang Yu still instinctively did not want to return to the Black-Yellow Realm. After all, it was a world where class distinctions were completely solidified, and even if he was an incarnation of the Heavenly Venerable, he still had to go through the proper procedures.

There is only one way to break this situation: to rely on a more powerful external force. It is impossible for it to break the existing celestial system on its own.

Fang Yu didn't know what the drawbacks of this current 'immortal hierarchy system' were, but since the Celestial Venerable regretted it and sent an avatar to the Heaven Beyond Heaven, his purpose was somewhat intriguing.

Perhaps he truly regretted it and wanted to ascend to another realm, letting his avatar scout ahead first.

Perhaps the existing 'celestial system' has a problem that it cannot solve internally, and it can only seek a more powerful force to intervene from the outside.

Or perhaps you just want to travel. After all, if you stay in one place for too long, you'll always feel the urge to go out and relax!

The feeling of weightlessness lessened, the Yuanchen Pearl began to slow down, Fang Yu's scattered thoughts were pulled back.

The Yuanchen Pearl pierced through the Heaven Beyond Heaven, entered the Beyond Heaven, then entered the Great Void, penetrated the mortal world, and arrived at the [Demon Martial Realm].

A light flashed before Fang Yu's eyes, and he felt as if he were a meteorite falling from the sky, accelerating his descent.

The scenery below kept appearing.

Endless fields of crops, towering cities, tiger-headed 'people' wielding swords, 'people' hopping along on only one leg, a girl with a fluffy tail, bird-people circling in the sky with wings on their backs, and so on...

This world does indeed seem a bit 'strange'.

"Pfft!"

Yuanchen Pearl successfully landed.

Fang Yu's vision blurred, his consciousness gradually fading. 'Oh no, my Primordial Qi is exhausted!'
