The Vanishing Spiritual Qi
Chu Longcheng's figure quickly disappeared into the sky, and he could no longer be detected by the naked eye. Only some of the cultivators present could barely sense his presence with their Divine Sense.
However, because Chu Longcheng ascended so quickly, he soon exceeded the maximum height that a cultivator's Divine Sense could detect.
With this, the ascension ceremony of the Qianyuan Sect came to a successful conclusion.
The guests and hosts began to take their seats and enjoy the banquet as arranged by the Qianyuan Sect. Everyone was happy.
The atmosphere at the banquet was very harmonious, and both the Qianyuan Sect, as the host, and the various sects of the Southern Frontier, as guests, were overjoyed.
Although the Qianyuan Sect lost the top expert in the Southern Frontier, Chu Longcheng left them with many contingency Qianyuan Sect before leaving, so the Qianyuan Sect's status will not be affected.
Moreover, the fact that a sect can produce the top expert in the Southern Frontier will definitely raise the expectations of those aspiring cultivators, and the chances of the Qianyuan Sect recruiting disciples with high-level Spirit Root will also greatly increase in the future.
As for the other sects in the Southern Frontier, the loss of the Qianyuan Sect, the number one expert in the Southern Frontier, will mean the loss of its previous deterrent effect on them. Some first-class sects that have been suppressed by the Qianyuan Sect for many years will finally have the opportunity to rise to prominence.
If there were anyone who stood out from the rest of the banquet, it would only be Yi Xuan and his apprentice.
After Chu Longcheng ascended to immortality, Xiao Anhe's mind kept flashing back to the various scenes of the two of them in the Azure Cloud Sect, even though he had already let go of his resentment towards this Senior Brother Chu.
But Xiao Anhe also thought of himself. The path he had chosen was completely opposite to that of Senior Brother Chu. But to be honest, the Azure Cloud Sect had become a shackle for Xiao Anhe now.
Xiao Anhe, unable to abandon the Azure Cloud Sect, will one day follow in his master's footsteps. Even with the Nascent Spirit Transformation realm cultivation Cultivation Method provided by Yi Xuan, it will only postpone this outcome.
Thinking of this, Xiao Anhe did not regret his choice, but a wave of sadness still rose in his heart, which is why he was not in a good mood at the moment.
Yi Xuan didn't have any emotional problems; he just had a blank expression.
For everyone else, Chu Longcheng's ascension was over.
But for Yi Xuan, Chu Longcheng's ascension had only just begun.
Even though the other party's situation could no longer be seen with the naked eye or Divine Sense, Starlink still transmitted Chu Longcheng's situation during his ascension into Yi Xuan's brain without any error.
Yi Xuan also focused his attention entirely on the images playing in his mind, so to outsiders it looked as if he was daydreaming.
The Chu Longcheng, which was no longer perceptible, was getting faster and faster as it flew higher and higher, even exceeding the speed of Yi Xuan's carrier rocket, and this speed was still increasing.
Due to friction with the atmosphere, under Starlink's surveillance, Chu Longcheng flew into outer space like a small fireball.
Meanwhile, through the Spiritual Qi sensing system installed on the Starlink satellites, Yi Xuan discovered that the other party's absorption of Spiritual Qi was decreasing, and even stopped absorbing Spiritual Qi altogether when approaching the boundary of the atmosphere.
At the same time, the opponent's body became stronger and stronger, and the energy level detected by Yi Xuan became higher and higher. The soaring values were breathtaking to Yi Xuan.
Yi Xuan still remembers when he first started pursuing the technology route, he naively believed that cultivators in this world only needed to have the strength of Nascent Soul to withstand nuclear bombs.
However, as Yi Xuan gained a deeper understanding of cultivators, he discovered that his judgment of them was flawed.
The misconceptions here mainly stem from various online novels from the past, where each author had a different classification of combat power.
This led to a significant deviation in Yi Xuan's estimation of the Nascent Soul Cultivator's strength without knowing their true power.
Later, as he came into contact with more and more cultivators, and their cultivation levels became increasingly advanced, coupled with the ever-growing combat power detection capabilities in Yi Xuan's possession, he also gained access to a wider range of cultivators.
Yi Xuan's understanding of the strength of cultivators is becoming clearer. According to the information Yi Xuan currently has, nuclear weapons should have an absolute deterrent effect on all cultivators.
In other words, Yi Xuan, who has mastered nuclear technology, already possesses absolute power in the Cultivation Realm, as long as he doesn't act recklessly.
Originally, Yi Xuan thought that the nuclear bomb could not only deter cultivators, but also have an absolute suppressive effect on newly ascended immortals.
Based on the recent test of Chu Longcheng, Yi Xuan realized that becoming an immortal is truly completely different from being a cultivator.
Judging from the detected energy levels of the opponent's body alone, it's clear that nuclear weapons might be no match for a true immortal.
In Yi Xuan's test, the instant Chu Longcheng truly broke through the atmosphere and entered outer space.
His body suddenly underwent a very drastic change. Under the observation of the Spiritual Qi perception system, Yi Xuan discovered that at that very moment, an astonishing amount of Spiritual Qi was released from Chu Longcheng's body.
The universe, which had been devoid of any Spiritual Qi, seemed to come alive under the influence of this suddenly appearing Spiritual Qi.
Although Starlink's perception system detected nothing there except for that enormous mass of Spiritual Qi, it seemed to be being devoured by something, gradually disappearing into the universe.
Although he didn't know why, Yi Xuan, seeing the Spiritual Qi disappear, knew that it wasn't a true disappearance, but rather a absorption; the Spiritual Qi was being rapidly devoured by something unknown.
That was the Spiritual Qi within the body of a highly skilled cultivator who had already completed his Tribulation Transcendence; it was completely devoured in less than a minute, demonstrating just how terrifying that unknown entity was.
Strangely, even though Chu Longcheng was surrounded by that mass of Spiritual Qi, the unknown thing did not offend him in the slightest. After absorbing all the Spiritual Qi, it acted as if it had never existed.
Floating in outer space, Chu Longcheng was clearly unfamiliar with the new environment, his eyes filled with confusion.
However, his gaze quickly hardened.
Without any visible energy emanating from his body, he flew towards the moon in the Cultivation Realm at an even faster speed than when he ascended before.
However, before flying away, Chu Longcheng looked around strangely for a long time, and only after finding nothing did he speed up and fly away.
Yi Xuan was also sweating bullets when he saw this. Although the satellites on Starlink were equipped with optical stealth systems, he couldn't help but be worried about Chu Longcheng, who had already ascended.
Fortunately, Chu Longcheng ultimately didn't discover anything, and Yi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, Yi Xuan thought that Chu Longcheng had discovered something on the moon, but who would have thought that after landing on the moon, Chu Longcheng would sit cross-legged and remain motionless.
Yi Xuan watched him for a full three hours, until the banquet of the Qianyuan Sect had ended, but he did not make any move.
The other sects had already bid farewell to the Qianyuan Sect, and Xiao Anhe had no intention of staying any longer, so he took Yi Xuan and flew away from the Qianyuan Sect.
Yi Xuan had no choice but to hand over the task of detecting Chu Longcheng to No. 01. After the two had left the Qianyuan Sect, they summoned the Firmament and flew towards the Azure Cloud Sect.
