Ascension

Both the onlookers and Chu Longcheng himself understood that the upcoming tribulation would not be easy.

Sure enough, after a long period of preparation, the sixth lightning tribulation finally struck.

As always, Chu Longcheng drew his sword to meet the attack, but this time it was not as easy as before. His Azure Dragon Saber was blasted into pieces the moment it came into contact with the lightning tribulation.

Seeing that only the long handle of the Azure Dragon Saber remained in his hand, Chu Longcheng clearly didn't react.

In the instant he was stunned, the lightning tribulation slammed him to the ground, and the enormous energy caused the land within a one-kilometer radius to sink, turning into a large circular crater.

However, as the lightning tribulation dissipated, a figure flew directly out of the crater; it was Chu Longcheng.

Despite being directly struck by lightning, he was completely unharmed.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A hearty laugh reached everyone's ears. After flying into the air, Chu Longcheng didn't stop at all and actually went to meet the seventh lightning tribulation that had already struck down.

Because No. 01 directly sent Starlink's real-time monitoring of Chu Longcheng to Yi Xuan's brainwave converter, Yi Xuan was the one who could see the most clearly in the crowd at that moment.

The image of Chu Longcheng battling the lightning tribulation in the air was now clearly displayed in his mind.

The lightning tribulation surrounded him, and the enormous energy relentlessly attacked his body.

However, Chu Longcheng, who was in the midst of the lightning tribulation, did not show the slightest pain. Instead, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the lightning tribulation.

Indeed, in Yi Xuan's view, the other party simply grabbed the lightning tribulation, then pulled it apart forcefully with both hands, causing the seventh lightning tribulation to dissipate directly.

Two people claiming to be from the Mystic Gate sect watched Chu Longcheng undergoing his Tribulation Transcendence from afar. One of them said with some regret, "This Fellow Daoist Chu's strength is indeed terrifying; he was actually able to disperse the seventh lightning tribulation with his own body!"

The other person nodded. "What a pity, such strength should have been preserved! Should we give him some more hints? That way, perhaps..."

"Watch your words! Don't be so presumptuous! Bai Mian, as a guide, don't you know what's most important?"

The man called "Bai Mian" was startled by his companion's tone and quickly explained, "I was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously. I know the rules of the Mystic Gate!"

That would be best!

Despite Bai Mian's explanation, the other person's tone did not soften. Instead, he said sternly, "This is a one-time exception. If you do it again, I will report it to the higher-ups! I think even you, as a newcomer, should know what happens to a guide who doesn't follow the rules, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mian shuddered and shook his head repeatedly, indicating that it would not happen again.

Unbeknownst to the two, their conversation was being completely controlled by Yi Xuan.

This is, of course, thanks to the micro-robots.

When these two first appeared and interrupted Chu Longcheng 'Tribulation Transcendence, Yi Xuan sensed that something was amiss.

So, being as cautious as ever, Yi Xuan still sent out a miniature robot to attach to the two of them, but unexpectedly, he seemed to hear a shocking secret from their conversation.

Combining their words with their advice to Chu Longcheng to Liberation by Violence, Yi Xuan instantly thought of the twelve words in the secret chamber of the High Antiquity Artifact Sect's main hall, "Don't cultivate immortality! Don't cultivate immortality! Don't cultivate immortality!"

First, there was the High Antiquity Artifact Sect advising later generations against cultivating immortality; now, another Mystic Gate, is advising Liberation by Violence Tribulation Transcendence and become scattered Loose Immortal. Could there be any connection between these two events?

Unfortunately, Yi Xuan still had too little information at this time and had no clue whatsoever.

However, Yi Xuan has begun to realize that the High Antiquity Artifact Sect's prevention of later generations from cultivating immortality was not without reason. Could there be something terrifying at the end of cultivating immortality?

Shaking his head, he banished the jumbled thoughts from his mind. Now that he had already placed miniature robots on those two, as he obtained more and more of their conversations, sooner or later, Yi Xuan would figure everything out.

In mid-air, Chu Longcheng had just survived the eighth tribulation of lightning.

The power of this lightning tribulation was clearly incomparable to the previous ones. Chu Longcheng's armor had disappeared, with only the armor sleeves hanging on his wrists proving that it had once existed.

Many areas of the exposed skin were charred black, and there was even blood at the corner of the mouth.

However, Chu Longcheng's gaze was more resolute than ever before.

Standing in the crowd, Xiao Anhe looked at the resolute gaze in his former senior brother's eyes and silently thought, "Master, do you see? Senior Brother Chu is about to overcome his Heavenly Tribulation and become a true immortal!"

Finally, the tribulation clouds above became as dark as they could possibly be. A bolt of black lightning slowly condensed from the clouds and instantly struck down, flying towards Chu Longcheng like a giant dragon.

Despite being injured, Chu Longcheng felt the pressure of the black lightning above his head, but instead of retreating, he advanced and met it head-on without any protection.

The two collided, exploding into a ball of white light in the sky, blinding everyone present.

Even the image in Yi Xuan's mind was a blank white at this moment, and he couldn't see what was happening inside.

A tremendous roar continued to emanate from the ball of white light.

After an unknown amount of time, the roaring sound gradually faded, and the white light dimmed.

The dark clouds above had long since disappeared, revealing a blue sky, and bright sunlight shone on the earth.

The light also fell on the figure in mid-air.

The Heavenly Tribulation finally passed, and Chu Longcheng emerged as the ultimate winner.

As the sunlight shone through him, Chu Longcheng, whose body was charred black, opened his eyes and began to feel the condition within his body.

His body jolted violently, shaking off the layer of black skin covering his body, and at the same time, a suit of armor was once again draped over his body.

The crowd below understood that the Supreme Elder of the Qianyuan Sect had successfully Tribulation Transcendence.

Based on the past experiences of those who ascended to immortality in the Cultivation Realm, he can stay in this realm for at most another month.

A month later, even if he doesn't want to, he will be forcibly driven out of this world because his body is transforming into that of an immortal.

However, Chu Longcheng, who was floating in mid-air, clearly had no intention of staying.

He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the crowd below, and his booming voice instantly resounded throughout the land. "Everyone, I, Chu, have successfully Tribulation Transcendence today. We shall meet again; I will be waiting for you in the Immortal Realm!"

After he finished speaking, his body began to slowly rise into the air, and the speed increased.

Just as he was about to disappear from everyone's sight, Yi Xuan noticed through the surveillance footage in his mind that Chu Longcheng actually showed a reluctant expression, while looking at the ground as if searching for something.

When Yi Xuan saw his master nod to the sky, he understood what was going on.
