Jiuling Yuanjun came swiftly and left swiftly.
But all those who paid attention to his movements accurately caught this moment.
A secret conversation unknown to the world was held in a desolate place.
Since then, representatives of the major Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects began to respond to the invitations from Luo Tian Sect, expressing their intention to personally attend and witness Luo Tian Ancestor’s ascension ceremony!
An invisible current that might overturn the Eastern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World dissipated silently.
...
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
On Cangwu Mountain.
Transmitting Truth Hall Master He Qingzi and Zhukong Hall Master Hua Mei quietly waited.
When the teleportation formation emitted light, they curiously looked inside.
Three figures slowly emerged.
A middle-aged man guarded the front, followed by a young woman and a young girl.
"Friend Xu, this person is..."
Xu Muxian stepped out of the teleportation formation, bowed to the two, and introduced, "As you guessed, this is Mistress Yao Yue True Master, and this is my mentor’s daughter."
He showed great respect for the former.
For the latter, he was quite cautious, not even mentioning her name in detail.
Hua Mei carefully scrutinized the young girl, from her eyebrows to her lips, her facial contours, her demeanor.
"They resemble each other, truly too similar! Everyone says the acting Sect Master of Luo Tian resembles his father, but only in spirit. The young lady is actually an eight or nine part likeness to her master, as if carved from the same mold! Yet these pure eyes without a trace of worldly dust do not have master’s profound depth."
Filled with emotion, she then respectfully saluted.
"Disciple Hua Mei, pays respect to Mistress and the young lady."
Cheng Haixin nodded calmly; before arriving, Xu Muxian had explained the situation clearly, so she was not surprised that Luo Chen had such a disciple.
However, the young girl’s clear eyes looked around curiously.
"Let’s go, according to my calculations, we are close to the day, we’ll make it if we go now." Xu Muxian was not inclined to reminisce.
Hua Mei Fairy responded, indicating for them to step down from the teleportation formation, then joined He Qingzi in adjusting the array once more.
Shortly thereafter, a light flashed, and the five disappeared from Cangwu Mountain.
When they reappeared, the five were walking down a bustling street.
Serving as a guide, Xu Muxian introduced the situation of the place to everyone, especially to Cheng Haixin and her daughter.
"This is Upper Nether City, where Luo Tian Sect’s External Sect is located. Although only an External Sect, it possesses a grand Fourth Order Spirit Vein for disciples to cultivate. And there’s always a Nascent Soul True Master present."
"Once outside the city, we’ll take the Crossing Ghosts Magic Boat to Luo Tian Continent."
"Luo Tian Sect’s real mountain gate is on the Luo Tian Continent, surrounded by the Nether Abyss."
The young girl asked curiously, "Uncle Xu, wasn’t my father’s ascension going to be on Yanfu Mountain?"
Xu Muxian gently smiled, "Yes, but no need to worry, young Tong. I have arranged everything on Yanfu Mountain, so you can see the magnificent scene of your father’s ascension in person."
At the mention of "father," the young girl grew a bit nervous.
"Let’s go!"
One man, four women, three humans, two demons, mingling with the lively crowd of Upper Nether City, heading toward the Nether Abyss.
As if merely part of the countless enthusiasts eager to personally witness Luo Tian Ancestor’s ascension.
...
On Yanfu Mountain, Coiled Dragon Pillars stood tall, banners fluttered in the wind.
Twelve large bells were solemnly arranged according to the positions of heaven’s stems and earth’s branches.
Glints broke through the void and arrived at Yanfu Mountain, whereupon the light was withdrawn, and they strolled along the White Jade Road between the mountains.
Familiar faces occasionally encountered, exchanging cheerful greetings.
In conversations, today’s grand event was unavoidable.
The topics ranged from Alchemy Sect’s past to today’s ancestor’s ascension.
Among the crowd were many Nascent Soul True Masters, Supreme Sect Leaders.
Even the unexpected appearance of the Beihai Demon Cultivators caught attention.
It was a Late Stage Nascent Soul Demon Emperor wearing the insignia of the Hanging Saber!
His appearance caused a stir among the crowd until the leading demon monk Kong Chan took him away, quieting the crowd.
Soon after, news spread.
North Sea Cultivation World Great Sage Beili sent gifts, personally witnessing Luo Tian Ancestor’s ascension.
And this was just the beginning!
Soon thereafter, Southern Border Door of Life and Death, Western Desert Hanging Monastery also had representatives in attendance, receiving direct hospitality from Luo Tian Sect’s top echelon.
This further demonstrated that Luo Tian Sect now truly established itself as a Divine Transformation Holy Land, on equal footing with the sacred land forces of the Outer Continent.
Xu Muxian’s group weaved through the crowd.
Suddenly.
Xu Muxian stopped in his tracks.
The young girl behind him seemed puzzled, "Uncle Xu, what’s wrong?"
Xu Muxian didn’t turn around but bowed to the approaching crowd, especially the leader.
"Sect Master!"
Luo Lingxi nodded, intending to enter the Luo Tian Grand Hall with the high-level sect members.
Yet, as they passed, his steps abruptly halted.
His imposing eyes met those clear as spring water.
Then, he carefully studied the girl’s pretty yet strikingly familiar face.
The acpanying high-level sect members initially did not notice, but gradually began to stir upon seeing the young girl’s cheeks.
Exclamations softly began.
Facing the gazes of a group of top-tier experts, the young girl, brave though she was, felt somewhat ill at ease.
Xu Muxian realized something, instinctively stepping in front.
"Sect Master..."
"No matter!"
Luo Lingxi gently pushed Xu Muxian aside, his gaze fixated on the young girl, finally softening.
"May I know this young girl’s name?"
The girl, somewhat self-conscious, replied hesitantly, "I’m called Qing Tong."
"Friend Qing Tong?" Luo Lingxi, recognizing the resemblance, understood everything, "Meeting is fate; this jade pendant can calm the heart and ward off evil, I’d like to gift it to you!"
Watching the warm jade pendant fly in front of her, Qing Tong hesitated and looked toward her mother.
Cheng Haixin calmly nodded.
Only then did Qing Tong solemnly accept it.
Luo Lingxi smiled softly, patting Xu Muxian’s shoulder.
"Brother Xu, take good care of her."
Xu Muxian nodded, "I understand."
Having said that, Luo Lingxi led his group away, straight into Luo Tian Grand Hall.
His followers from the sect high-level likewise followed closely, occasionally glancing back.
The resemblance in features, with eyes as clear as spring water, was almost identical to the ancestor.
Could it really be the bloodline of the ancestor outside?
"Is it sister?"
Luo Lingxi asked himself this question in his heart, and the answer was actually already obvious.
He suppressed his inexplicable emotions and finally climbed the last step.
Inside the hall, two figures stepped out at the same time.
The two women each wore magnificent palace attire, with an elegant demeanor, noble and graceful.
Luo Lingxi bowed and saluted, then asked, "How is Father preparing?"
Gu Caiyi’s expression showed a sense of reluctance, "In ten years, your father’s Qi Power has long since recovered, his state has reached the peak, and actually doesn’t need any preparation. The ascension is merely following the Heavenly Dao."
Cang Long’s gaze swept over the crowd and finally landed on Luo Lingxi.
"You go in!"
Luo Lingxi responded deeply and quickly stepped into the grand hall.
Meanwhile, down in the plaza, Xu Muxian and his group squeezed through the crowd toward a Flying Corner Pavilion at Yanfu Mountain.
The girl named Qing Tong held the still warm jade pendant, momentarily perplexed and puzzled.
"Uncle Xu, just now, the person you addressed as Sect Master, why..."
The question slowly dawned on Qing Tong even before Xu Muxian could answer.
The current Sect Master of Luo Tian Sect is named Luo Lingxi, whose father is Luo Chen.
She tightened her grip on the jade pendant, suddenly enlightened.
"So it’s my brother!"
Seeing this, Xu Muxian shook his head, offered no explanation, and merely led the group up to the Observatory.
Passing by a fair-skinned man, he glanced curiously without paying much attention.
At this grand event, many influential Eastern Wasteland figures came to witness, so it was normal not to recognize some Nascent Soul True Masters, given he hasn’t been in the Eastern Wasteland for long.
Bao Hanjun withdrew his gaze from the crowd around Xu Muxian, a thoughtful look on his face.
"Is that one related to the bloodline of Elder Luo Chen? They look so similar."
This thought lingered not long before Bao Hanjun’s gaze sharpened.
On the distant White Jade steps, a figure emerged from the crowd, issuing a grand voice.
"Begin!"
The next moment, the Coiled Dragon wrapped around the pillar, banners fluttered.
Twelve consecutive chimes echoed, their sound ringing across Yanfu, spreading through the array formation, expanding layer upon layer over the entire Luotian Continent.
Strands of Spirit Qi flowed from all directions, pouring into Luo Tian Grand Hall.
Everyone fell silent.
Suddenly, clouds and smoke surged, and a giant phantom rose slowly from within the hall, revealing itself to the world.
The phantom was enormous, like a tree canopy covering the sky.
Anyone with knowledge could see the essence of this scene.
"Yin Soul Crossing Yang, Nascent Soul Transformation God, this is a Primordial Spirit!"
As for those uninvited, who came to witness, like the Great Demon Emperor of North Sea Hanging Saber Peak, their demeanor was hard to maintain, revealing astonishment.
"Such a vast Primordial Spirit, far surpassing our ancestor! How could it be, isn’t he just transforming into God?"
The Primordial Spirit phantom cared not for the motion among the spectators, it merely stood silently in the void, still as its body drew in a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
In its eyes, countless invisible spirit mechanisms were clearly visible, ing from all directions.
Their quantity far surpassed anything seen in a lifetime.
Whether it was Chu Yan’s ascension, or Youli Divine Monarch’s ascension, even the ascension of the Cangwu Three Demons, the spirit mechanism attracted was nowhere near the current moment.
Luo Chen, blessed with sudden enlightenment, understood all.
All of this was due to his prehension of the True Intent of the four great laws: Earth, Fire, Water, and Wood.
Should he continue to grow, he will master the authority of the four great laws, being a unique existence in this realm, nearly on par with this small world’s Heavenly Dao.
Thus, when he ascended, he could draw in such a vast amount of spirit mechanism.
Both a send-off and a guest dispersal!
"Then let us depart!"
Murmuring softly, Luo Chen released the restrictions of the Purple Mansion, divine perception spreading across the wilderness, still supported by the power of the heavens and earth.
The next moment.
From the endless abyss, emerged clusters of black lotus flowers.
On the ground, Spirit Qi gushed like springs.
Not just that, between the sky, colorful clouds gathered and pursued, like a sunset chasing the moon.
The radiance sprung naturally at this moment.
Countless cultivators watched this scene, their minds captivated.
Sea birthing black lotus, earth gushing spirit springs, colorful clouds pursuing the moon, radiant glow abundant!
The four great phenomena appeared simultaneously, such an ascension was indeed unprecedented.
Luo Chen nostalgically glanced down, this was his last look at the Mountain Sea Realm.
A vague induction made his heart constrict.
His gaze turned to a corner of Yanfu Mountain’s Observatory, instantly understanding.
Beneath joy, there lay a hint of guilt.
Silently, he flicked his fingers.
The girl watching this scene with bated breath on the Observatory suddenly showed dazed eyes, momentarily lost.
When she regained her senses, the enormous Primordial Spirit phantom had already dissipated.
Only countless boundless pure qi descended from beyond this realm, drifting down like threads, showering upon Luotian Continent.
Then came the second stream of pure qi, the third, the fourth... until thousands, beyond count.
The pure qi hung down, opening the path to immortality!
This was the ascension sign recorded in ancient texts!
Amidst countless radiant glow, a figure gradually drifted farther, eventually disappearing into the vast cosmos.
The girl rubbed her brow, looking bewildered at the woman beside her.
"Mother, has Father left?"
Cheng Haixin’s eyes were filled with tears, pressing her lips together, nodded heavily.
The girl felt a tinge of loss, but then smiled.
"Father saw me last, and even spoke to me."
Cheng Haixin was taken aback.
At this moment, twelve serene chimes sounded again, distant and elegant.
A familiar gentle voice of the former girl echoed, spreading everywhere.
"The ceremony is plete!"
"Congratulations to the ancestor on ascending to the Immortal Realm!"
Then came the sound like mountains roaring and seas whistling rising in unison.
From Yanfu Mountain to Luotian Continent.
Wherever people reached, all were singing.
"Congratulations to the ancestor on ascending to the Immortal Realm!"
