Chapter 565: Chapter 427: mory and Ascension Tribulation
Watching Tu Huan’s Primordial Spirit dissipate between heaven and earth, the nurous strong ones present were all slightly startled, then felt a deep sense of horror.
Originally, having received the Immortal Court Decree, the ascendant had unexpectedly fallen back down and even died in front of them.
Especially the last words the man spoke before he died, advising not to ascend, were like thorns stuck in their hearts.
A few exchanged glances, and in the end, it was the oldest and most experienced Immortal Venerable who spoke up, “Tu Huan, an Immortal, has perished on the path to ascension; this is no longer sothing we can resolve.”
“Anyway, we should first report to the Immortal Court and await instructions from above.”
Tian Jianzi furrowed his brow, rembering the long wait of ten years for the previous ascension ceremony, and hoping that the Immortals of the Immortal Court would respond more quickly this ti.
The Immortal Venerable said indifferently, “Since this is the case, let us all prepare for the Heavenly Ritual together.”
Subsequently, the many disciples present bathed and burned incense in preparation for the ritual ceremony.
And soon after, thousands of people were bustling about up and down the mountain, preparing all the ceremonial offerings, incense, livestock, musical instrunts, treasures, and spiritual objects needed for the rite…
Above a certain great city, amidst sword light crisscrossing the sky, ca Tian Jianzi’s cold voice: “I give you three hours to prepare the items listed here…”
In the vault of the Imperial City, accompanied by a thunderous boom, the Nether Mountain God had already carried out a large cauldron filled with various treasures, looking at people kneeling outside begging bitterly; he simply uttered: “Scram.”
Reporting to the Immortal Court was a complex and strict process, and each ceremony also required a vast amount of materials.
Luckily, this ti the ceremony was hurriedly driven by the top powers of the world. Despite so effort, everything was prepared in just a few days.
And when the ceremony progressed to the final step, seeing the Immortal Court Decree flash slightly and then imdiately respond, left many strong ones present with a look of joy on their faces.
Immortal Court Decree: Among the offerings, why are the flying sword, vermilion fruit, and high-quality warm jade missing?
The Immortal Venerable was taken aback for a mont, hastily explaining the situation of Tu Huan’s death, indicating that everything was simplified due to urgency in order to report as quickly as possible.
Immortal Court Decree: Ridiculous, just for the small losses and gains in your minor lower realm, you dare to defy the laws and rules of the Immortal Court? You have so nerve.
The nurous strong ones present were so nervous they prostrated themselves on the ground and dared not speak.
Immortal Court Decree: Enough, I will spare you this ti, redo the ceremony properly, and if there are any oversights again, bear the consequences yourselves.
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Venerable quickly insisted, “But Immortal, Tu Huan died on the path to ascension, and even his physical body has not returned. There must be a major issue…”
Mid-sentence, he stopped, looking at the now inanimate Decree, knowing that none of his words had been transmitted.
With a sigh, the Immortal Venerable looked at the disciple who approached, and angrily said, “What’s going on? I instructed you, again and again, to avoid any oversight. Who missed sothing?”
Looking at the disciple who was too nervous to speak coherently, the Immortal Venerable snorted coldly: “Useless.”
Boom!
A burst of violent Gang Qi directly crushed the disciple to powder. He then turned to another, “You speak.”
Several days later, the second ritual proceeded to the final mont.
Immortal Court Decree: We are aware of the situation. When arrangents have been made, you will be inford.
The Immortal Venerable respectfully asked, “Immortal, may I ask how long we might have to wait?”
Immortal Court Decree: Just wait.
Although the nurous strong ones present had anticipated this, they couldn’t help but show a trace of disappointnt in their eyes upon seeing this reply.
The Immortal Venerable, looking at the Decree returning to the altar, slowly said, “Then, gentlen, let’s follow the old rules, and I shall be the first to guard and await the response from the higher realm.”
Thus, the nurous strong ones present discussed and set a plan for one person to guard for one year.
Tian Jianzi looked at the Immortal Court Decree fluttering in the wind, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: “Just don’t know how many years this wait will be, again.”
The Nether Mountain God had already left the ceremony area, thinking to himself, “Tu Huan’s advice not to ascend… what does it an?”
He recalled the inheritance given to him by an Immortal, thinking, “The fourth inheritance, Roaring Heaven… as long as I switch to cultivating this inheritance, I could imdiately take the Immortal Beast position left for …”
Images of Tu Huan’s final mont when his Primordial Spirit dissipated kept surfacing in his mind, making the Nether Mountain God increasingly hesitant.
But upon seeing the Immortal Venerable prostrate before the Immortal Court Decree, his mind suddenly made up.
“Rather than continue to waste ti in the mortal world, I’d rather risk it all.”
…
Mirror World.
Kunlun.
A flickering and distorted human figure hovered in the air, the remnants of Tu Huan’s Primordial Spirit.
At this mont, red stellar rivers ran through the residual power of his Primordial Spirit, occasionally surging with various lights and shadows.
Included were scenes of battle, conversations with others, but most were mories of daily training in martial arts and Immortal Dao, and mundane activities like eating and sleeping.
Bai Yiyi, while trying to read the fragnted mories, couldn’t help but criticize, “Lin Xing, you shattered it too much, I can’t even find a complete mory.”
Lin Xing replied, “When this person first appeared, he was already at the end of the path to ascension. I thought he was an Immortal who had already ascended, so I struck with all my might.”
Rembering the feeling of cutting the Primordial Spirit, he shook his head, “Who would have thought he’d be so fragile.”
“Now I think about it, the self-destruction of his body at the beginning was probably not any secret technique, but likely because he couldn’t bear the Immortal energy at that ti.”
Bai Yiyi was surprised, “Appearing at the end of the path to ascension? That is to say, he’s not from our world?”
Lin Xing speculated, “Yes, but he’s so weak, definitely not an Immortal from the Immortal Court, maybe a descendant of so Immortal?”
In that mont, Bai Yiyi raised an eyebrow and said, “You guessed wrong, Lin Xing, he is not a descendant of an Immortal, he seems… to be the reincarnation of an Immortal’s spirit mount.”
With just a slight movent of thought from Bai Yiyi, a voice ca from the river of blood.
This was a monologue from deep within Tu Huan’s mories, that he had committed to heart after awakening a fraction of his past life’s mories at the age of five, a profound recollection.
“Turns out I am the reincarnation of the Five-Colored Deer from under Qixia Immortal Venerable, having served the Immortal Venerable for nearly six hundred years, finally rewarded with an Immortal’s position…”
Because the mory fragnts were very fragnted, Bai Yiyi had only managed to extract this short segnt for the ti being; the content before and after this mory had not been found yet.
But this alone was enough to clarify the other party’s identity.
“An Immortal’s Five-Colored Deer?” Lin Xing pondered, “Theoretically, if soone’s pet runs amok without a leash and attacks first, there’s no problem with defending myself and killing it.”
Bai Yiyi couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Is now the ti to think about such things? An Immortal won’t reason with you.”
“But I will reason with him.”
“And whether this reasoning is important, will depend on whose strength is greater, mine or his.”
Squeezing his fists and feeling the twenty-four eager sword lights within him, Lin Xing smiled and said, “Good swords, are you all looking forward to a breakthrough as well?”
“I too am looking forward to a new breakthrough.”
Sensing the last bit of negative Immortal Qi within him, Lin Xing’s Primordial Spirit had already left his body once again, darting with the twenty-four sword lights into the Kunlun Mountain.
As for the broken mories of the Five-Colored Deer, he had left them to Bai Yiyi to sort out.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xing’s Pure Yang Primordial Spirit descended along the Spirit Vein within Kunlun Mountain, finding himself once again before the path of ascension that pierced through the nine heavens.
On his last attempt, although he had resisted the ten great Immortal Mountains, the sudden appearance of the Five-Colored Deer had prevented him from fully experiencing the mysteries of the path of ascension, and he had retreated.
But even in that brief mont, he had felt the Qi of the Immortals beco richer with each layer of mountain shadow he broke through.
Lin Xing looked beyond the successive layers of mountain shadows at the rolling Heavenly River in the distance, thinking to himself, “It seems that the closer I get to that place, the more abundant the spiritual insights, Immortal Qi, and evil Qi.”
While contemplating, he once again stepped onto the path of ascension.
A resounding boom echoed through his sea of consciousness as the imnse mountain shadow inscribed with the word ‘Kunxu’ settled atop his Primordial Spirit.
Lin Xing’s consciousness sank slightly under the terrifying pressure from the mountain shadow, but he activated his Primordial Spirit and began to inhale and exhale Immortal Qi.
With just a slight movent of thought, vast Immortal Qi sward towards him, filling his sea of consciousness in an instant, only to be devoured entirely by the negative Immortal Qi.
This ti, the efficiency of inhaling and exhaling Immortal Qi was several tis faster than in previous days.
Lin Xing laughed wildly and took another step down, his body gaining a second mountain shadow.
Then ca the third, and the fourth mountain shadow.
Monts later, with a booming explosion, it seed as if sothing within Lin Xing’s sea of consciousness burst open.
The Immortal Qi, which had been crazily devoured just monts ago, now filled Lin Xing’s Primordial Spirit.
Immortal Qi: 0
“Finally freed from this shackle.”
“From now on, in heavens and earth, past and future, there’s no Immortal Dao technique that I cannot cultivate.”
With the complete disappearance of the negative Immortal Qi, Lin Xing had entered a state where he could once again cultivate the Immortal Dao.
At the sa ti, Lin Xing, who was enduring the weight of four mountain shadows in his cultivation, sensed so kind of change within his Primordial Spirit.
Kunxu Mountain Moving Strength (Unmastered 0.5%)
White Mountain Moving Strength (Unmastered 0.3%)
Chi Cheng Mountain Moving Strength (Unmastered 0.1%)
Xuanku Mountain Moving Strength (Unmastered 0.1%)
The wheels in Lin Xing’s mind turned, “Does every Immortal Mountain on this path of ascension contain its own technique? Is the path of ascension also a path of cultivation?”
…
Mirror World.
Ming Mountain.
“I’ve already explored the path of ascension; it’s completely blocked. Forcing one’s way through would surely result in certain death,”
“Now, only by being summoned by the Immortal Court can one truly ascend.”
The Master of Taihe Sect shook his head helplessly, “That’s one of the reasons I’ve always been seeking an Immortal position.”
“Not just because the Immortals of the Immortal Court differ as much from those wild Immortals as the clouds from the mud, but because, besides this thod, there is no second way to ascend in this realm.”
Zheng Yong, an elder of the Zheng Family, pensively said, “I see.”
“Even the path of ascension is blocked; it seems a spot in the higher realms is even more precious now.”
At this mont, he was reminded of his family’s plan to rule the world below, a flicker of hidden concern rising within him: “Compared to trying my luck in ascending to higher realms, staying in this realm is indeed much safer, but…”
Just then, a thunderous roar ca from the sky, and the world, which was still shrouded in night, lit up in an instant as bright as day.
Zheng Yong, wielding the power of Kunlun, shot into the sky, and looking at the figure shrouded in endless brightness approaching, he shouted angrily, “Are you… Lin Xing? You’ve got so nerve…”
But before he could finish, a terrifying force directly bombarded him.
Zheng Yong sneered coldly, “I have Kunlun protecting ; what can you do to harm ?”
