Just as he was about to ask Brother Xiao Yuan what the next step was, he saw Tan Wenbin's face swell on the ground, his eyes suddenly opened, Lin Shuyou imdiately loosened his grip, and Tan Wenbin began to gasp for air.
Lin Shuyou asked excitedly, "Brother Xiao Yuan, what's the principle behind this?"
Li Zhiyuan calmly replied, "He fell asleep."
Lin Shuyou: "Ah..."
After catching his breath, Tan Wenbin stood up and began rubbing his body. Every ti he had so intimate contact with his godsons, his body would cool down; he was almost frozen into hibernation while in the water.
After a simple rest, everyone started moving toward that area of white glow.
As they got closer, they realized the white wasn't jade but rather a kind of stone. Under the influence of this unique environnt, it had been polished over the years, giving it a glossy sheen, as if covered with a thick layer of fluorescent powder.
The archway was large, with a plaque suspended above it, inscribed: [Ascension Tower].
On both sides, ensued couplets:
Immortal aura surrounds the jade tower; Divine light shines upon the jade platform.
The immortal aura and divine light, Li Zhiyuan didn't see, but he could sll the overwhelming desire for ascension, rich and strong.
But regardless, after much fuss—from arriving at Lijiang, staying in a guesthouse, squabbling over broken jade stones, to now—this journey and this wave's true purpose was right before their eyes.
Alii's dread figure said he would invite him to witness their entire clan's ascension.
Li Zhiyuan was very curious about exactly what kind of ascension thod it was.
Young people didn't believe there were deities in the world, nor did those powerful and long-lived beings resemble the traditional image of immortals.
People, as they live longer, grow older; if one continues to survive even when very old, they grow uglier.
Beneath the archway, an array was arranged to protect the Immortal Palace behind it.
This was a high-spec and grand array, and while Li Zhiyuan observed it, he was also astonished by it.
Black water served as the array eye, providing the array with a continuous source of life; the buildings in the rear were the array's bones, supporting its structure.
And faintly, this array even resonated with so rhythm of the secret realm, achieving a mutual inclusion between each other.
Li Zhiyuan didn't possess the ability to break this array; all he could do was increase his survival odds a little when risking entering it.
However, as everyone truly reached the archway, the markings on the palms of Li Zhiyuan, Zhao Yi, and Yu Miaomiao disappeared.
Though there was no door in the archway, it seed everyone heard the sound of a door opening at that mont.
The array was activated, and the last effect of the invitation was realized here.
Li Zhiyuan glanced at A Yuan; it seed Yu Cangsheng had hidden within his body for the purpose of passing through this array.
Behind the archway was a wide white path, and aside from this road, both sides were pitch black.
Tan Wenbin asked Yin ng for an empty can and threw it down; there was no sound of it hitting water, not even an echo.
This road seed as if it was truly suspended over an abyss.
Tan Wenbin couldn't help but marvel, "Building such a place, how much manpower and resources must it have consud?"
Lin Shuyou: "There are carvings on the stone slabs ahead."
This was the first ti since entering here that they encountered anything with background records.
The stone slabs on the ground were of varying sizes, but arranged in a harmonious layout, not appearing chaotic but rather accentuating a sense of wholesoness.
On so stone slabs, there were carvings of soone leading a group of carriages to pay respects; it should be vassals or nobles, as their attire revealed many eras and regions.
The secrets here were not existent in historical records, but to certain people of various eras, they weren't secrets.
However, the records of these vassals and nobles could only be depicted on small stone slabs, while dium-sized slabs recorded small groups or individuals, so clearly being mbers of Xuann, intricately carved with their Magic Artifacts in hand.
Large stone slabs were all individual carvings, regardless of age, gender, or attire, each invariably conveying an ethereal out-of-this-world vibe, surely figures of significance across different periods.
On one large stone slab, Li Zhiyuan saw a man with a white tiger behind him.
A Yuan was exclaiming excitedly, "Ah, ah ah!" He must have seen his ancestor.
Yu Miaomiao was "awakened" by the noise; she should have been awake long ago but pretended to be asleep deliberately, with unchanged breathing patterns, acting convincingly.
Li Zhiyuan didn't notice any flaw, but he just knew she was pretending.
Because earlier during brief exchanges with Yu Cangsheng, Yu Cangsheng could cover the girl's face with his hand, just to prevent her little tricks.
Upon seeing the large stone slab, Yu Miaomiao imdiately ca down from A Yuan's arms to pay respects to the character depicted on the slab.
Li Zhiyuan thought he must be Yu Cangsheng.
Yu Miaomiao didn't know the figure she was saluting was hiding within A Yuan, right behind her.
The ancestor she revered had just called her a brute.
And not only her, he'd just cursed the entire Yu Family now.
But through this stone slab, one thing could be confird—that Yu Cangsheng really hadn't told the whole truth.
Why did he intentionally co here in the first place, and how did he end up trapped as the "teacher"?
The records on the stone slabs were incredibly rich, walking on them for a long ti, yet still not reaching the sculpted shore.
However, there erged graceful figures along the sides of the suspended white path.
They stood opposite each other at the path's edges, evenly spaced, ticulously perfect; at least from here, they appeared endless.
So were playing instrunts, showcasing all types of instrunts, while others were dancing to various dance styles.
As the group walked through the middle, it felt like they were being welcod on either side, truly exuding a sense of Immortal Palace grandeur, earning the description of an Immortal Realm on earth.
