Mystic Gate
After Chu Longcheng left, Xiao Anhe sat alone for a long time.
In the days that followed, Yi Xuan never saw his former senior martial brother again.
Perhaps, as he said, he doesn't regret his decision.
Since you are about to ascend, instead of dwelling on the past, it's better to cut ties with it and embrace a new beginning.
The ascension ceremony of the Qianyuan Sect was held as scheduled. Xiao Anhe below looked at Chu Longcheng on the stage with a very complicated expression.
But in the end, all the emotions in his eyes turned into a sigh, and he muttered to himself, "Even in his final moments, Master still thought of him. If Master knew that his disciple had ascended to immortality, he would surely be gratified in the afterlife!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Xuan understood that his master had finally compromised.
It wasn't about compromising with his senior brother Chu Longcheng, but about compromising with himself.
That's how people are sometimes. Even if the hatred from the past remains in their hearts, when we see that person again, we may find that our hatred for that person has long since disappeared; we just can't bring ourselves to compromise.
Having figured things out, Xiao Anhe swept away his previous sorrowful mood and looked up at Chu Longcheng on the stage, his eyes filled with respect and blessings, as if he were seeing that former genius of the Azure Cloud Sect again.
As the opening remarks of the Qianyuan Sect Master came to an end, Chu Longcheng finally stepped forward!
Today, Chu Longcheng looked exceptionally imposing, still clad in armor, his burly figure appearing like a god descending to earth under the sunlight.
Everyone was amazed by the grandeur of Chu Longcheng.
"Truly worthy of being the top expert in Southern Frontier!"
"That goes without saying, with just that kind of magnanimity, the Supreme Elder Chu could overpower the entire Southern Frontier!"
Standing on the platform, Chu Longcheng naturally heard the discussions among the crowd below. However, as a powerful cultivator undergoing Tribulation Transcendence, he was no longer bothered by such flattery.
Chu Longcheng cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd below and said, "Chu Longcheng thanks all the fellow Daoists from the Southern Frontier for coming to see me off on my final journey! The mountains are high and the roads are long, but I will await you all in the Immortal Realm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Longcheng's body suddenly took to the air and flew to the outside of the Qianyuan Sect's mountain gate.
Upon seeing this, the entire venue suddenly fell silent, everyone staring at Chu Longcheng, who was suspended in mid-air.
As everyone knows, Chu Longcheng is about to face the greatest calamity in the Cultivation Realm: the Heavenly Tribulation.
As long as one can survive the Heavenly Tribulation, one will naturally soar to the heavens and roam the Immortal Realm.
However, if one fails to Tribulation Transcendence, in the end, one can only perish and disappear.
Fortunately, no one was worried about Chu Longcheng. He was the number one expert in the Southern Frontier. The Heavenly Tribulation might be like a flood or a Bandit Cultivator undergoing Heavenly Tribulation, but it should not pose a threat to him.
At this time, Yi Xuan had already had No. 01 complete comprehensive monitoring of Chu Longcheng via Starlink. At the same time, the Seeking Immortality Space Station also stopped, with the robots inside on standby, striving to obtain first-hand information about Chu Longcheng's ascension through the equipment in Seeking Immortality.
Chu Longcheng was hovering in the air with his eyes closed, and his body unconsciously emanated a heavy pressure that enveloped the entire Qianyuan Sect.
Although the oppressive aura did not cause any harm to the group, everyone felt as if a pair of eyes were watching them from above.
Some knowledgeable cultivators pointed out to those around them, "Do you see that? Supreme Elder Chu is channeling his own power, using it to trigger Heavenly Tribulation!"
After hearing the man's explanation, Yi Xuan looked at Xiao Anhe and asked, "Master, how long will it take for the Heavenly Tribulation to appear?"
Xiao Anhe then spoke up, "Depending on their strength, the time it takes for Tribulation Transcendence expert to trigger their Heavenly Tribulation varies. I've heard that some people take a month to trigger their Heavenly Tribulation, while others trigger it in less than a quarter of an hour! Senior Brother Chu's strength is exceptional, so I believe he should be able to do it quickly!"
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Anhe finished speaking, dark clouds began to gather in the sky, and the clouds grew larger and larger until they covered the entire sky in no time.
Just as the last sliver of sky was about to be shrouded in dark clouds, a loud shout from afar interrupted Chu Longcheng, who was gathering his power.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, please wait before Tribulation Transcendence!"
Two black dots appeared on the distant horizon, and a beam of light shot out from one of them, striking the tribulation clouds above Chu Longcheng's head.
It actually dispersed the tribulation clouds that were almost fully formed.
Chu Longcheng, whose Tribulation Transcendence had been interrupted, opened his eyes with an angry expression.
The two black dots moved very quickly, arriving in front of Chu Longcheng almost the instant he opened his eyes.
The people below then realized that the two black dots were actually two young men dressed in black.
"Who are you, and why are you blocking my Tribulation Transcendence? If you have no reason to convince me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
As he spoke, Chu Longcheng drew his weapon, an Azure Dragon Saber taller than himself.
Faced with Chu Longcheng's rage, the two young men showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, they calmly smiled at Chu Longcheng and said, "We come from the Mystic Gate!"
"Mystic Gate?"
As the number one expert in the Southern Frontier, Chu Longcheng could not claim to be an expert in all of history, but he was very knowledgeable about the sects in the Cultivation Realm. However, after thinking for a long time, he could not recall the existence of the Mystic Gate sect in either the Southern Frontier or the Central Continent.
So he shook his head and said, "I don't care what sect you belong to. You'd better explain why you're blocking my Tribulation Transcendence, otherwise my Azure Dragon Saber won't respect any Mystic Gate!"
The two men exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a sense of helplessness.
At the same time, one of them spoke up, "Southern Frontier is indeed a remote and inaccessible place. It's not surprising, Fellow Daoist Chu. After all, it's been over four hundred years since the last cultivator from Southern Frontier was able to ascend. It's normal that you haven't heard of the Mystic Gate!"
Because the three people in the distance did not deliberately lower their voices, many experts among the people in the Qianyuan Sect still heard their conversation.
At the same time, discussions began.
"Mystic Gate? What kind of sect is that?"
"Never heard of it? Could it be a sect from the Central Continent?"
"It shouldn't be!"
Just then, an old man seemed to remember something and suddenly exclaimed, "It's them? They've appeared again?"
Hearing the old man's exclamation, everyone's attention turned to him.
Seeing himself become the center of attention, the man quickly spoke up, "Four hundred years ago, when the Supreme Elder of the Boundless Sect ascended to immortality, this Mystic Gate appeared. At that time, I don't know what they said to the Supreme Elder of the Boundless Sect Tribulation Transcendence Realm Transcending stage to directly Liberation by Violence and become a Loose Immortal! Afterwards, he even followed them to the afterlife!"
The three people in the distant sky also heard the old man's words. One of the young men nodded and said, "I didn't expect anyone to remember what happened four hundred years ago. It seems we don't need to trouble ourselves! Fellow Daoist Chu, our purpose in coming here is very simple: we want to ask you a question!"
Are you willing to Liberation by Violence and become Loose Immortal?
