...
That demonic energy wasn't purely violent; instead, it carried an ancient, noble charm that could captivate all living beings, along with an arrogance that looked down upon all creation.
The sky instantly transford into a hazy, dreamlike pink-purple glow, within which nine enormous, exquisitely beautiful fox tail phantoms could be seen swaying gracefully, stirring up clouds for ten thousand miles! The entire Cangyun Realm trembled slightly under this pressure, with countless living beings instinctively feeling awe and... a stirring of sinking into depravity.
Imdiately after, an ethereal, pleasant female voice, yet carrying supre majesty and lazy seduction, clearly echoed in the heart-lake of every living being between heaven and earth, like a divine sound from the Nine Heavens: "I, Tu Shan Yue, Nine-Tails Heavenly Fox. The Great Dao has sensed it, the heavenly tribulation approaches. From this mont, atop Qingqiu Peak, incense will burn and wine will brew, respectfully awaiting all fellow Daoists to witness my... ascension!"
An invitation!
An invitation to witness the ascension ceremony from the Nine-Tails Heavenly Fox Tu Shan Yue!
Domineering while carrying boundless charm and confidence.
Chen Huaian's movents instantly froze, his posture of about to kiss the delicate lips in his embrace becoming fixed.
He abruptly looked up toward the magnificent yet heart-palpitating pink-purple sky in the west, his deep eyes filled with shock and gravity.
Li Qingran in his embrace was also awakened by this earth-shaking turn of events, opening her dazed eyes, her small face still carrying un-faded blushes and confusion from being interrupted, instinctively tightening her grip on Chen Huaian's lapel: "Master... that, that is...?"
"It's the Nine-Tails Heavenly Fox Tu Shan Yue." Chen Huaian's expression darkened slightly: "Tu Shan Yue is going to ascend to immortality."
He recalled the ssage Old Demon Xiao left him so ti ago—saying the Cangyun Realm's heavenly rules' blockade against Great Ascension Stage cultivators had weakened, and the mont to knock on the immortal gate was now.
He originally thought the first Great Ascension ascension was still relatively distant, never expecting the first Great Ascension Stage cultivator to ascend would appear so soon.
Moreover, it wasn't a human Great Ascension cultivator, but the demon race's Nine-Tails Heavenly Fox Tu Shan Yue.
Without doubt, this would absolutely impact the power distribution in the Cangyun Realm.
Originally, Real Person Jade Compassion's successful ascension served as a warning that made all the demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains behave more cautiously.
Now Tu Shan Yue not only planned to ascend but also announced it to the world like this, inviting all cultivators to witness the ceremony.
While being arrogantly confident, wasn't this also a silent warning?
Once she successfully ascended, those demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains would surely cause trouble again.
"Truly an eventful ti." Chen Huaian sighed.
With Tu Shan Yue's disruption, neither he nor Li Qingran had any mood for dual cultivation left.
"Master, what should we do?" Li Qingran's expression was equally serious, after all, whether Tu Shan Yue could successfully ascend related to the Moon Shadow Sect's future developnt, "Should we go to witness the ceremony?"
"We definitely have to go." Chen Huaian nodded with a bitter smile: "Not going would be disrespectful, and if she succeeds, she could use this as an excuse to make things difficult for us."
The smile faded from his face as he changed the subject: "Moreover, this Venerable One is also very curious whether that fox demon can actually succeed in ascending. After all..."
Chen Huaian rembered previously calculating Tu Shan Yue's fate—this Tu Shan Yue carried imnse sin.
During the early days when demons ran rampant, she led the demon race in committing countless massacres.
Killing humans and human cultivators alike through sect exterminations and city massacres.
If not for human sects joining forces to severely injure her and make her restrain herself.
Probably today's Cangyun Realm wouldn't have the Three Great Holy Lands to speak of, and the currently existing sects would be reduced by half!
Although Old Demon Xiao said the pressure from the heavenly rules had weakened, he couldn't provide specifics.
If a great demon like Tu Shan Yue, burdened with blood debts, could successfully ascend to immortality.
Then wouldn't ascension be as simple as eating and drinking for people like Old Demon Xiao and Burning Heaven the monk?
When his own cultivation level beca sufficient later, wouldn't ascension be as easy as breathing for him?
Moreover, the Electronic Girlfriend ga and the Cangyun Realm's Heavenly Dao were practically in cahoots.
Chen Huaian could hardly imagine what scene his own immortal ascension would look like.
Wouldn't the heavenly tribulation striking him be no different from striking itself?
...
Northern Continent, Taizhou Mountain.
This mountain wasn't the highest peak in the Cangyun Realm, but at this mont, it had beco the focus of the entire world.
The sky was no longer sky—it was a roaring, churning ink pool.
Heavy, suffocating tribulation clouds pressed down like billions of tons of lead blocks, almost touching the mountain peak.
Deep within the cloud layers, countless purple-gold lightning snakes madly swam, tangled, and converged.
Each flash tore through the gloomy sky curtain, illuminating the entire Taizhou Mountain in ghastly white.
Deafening thunderclaps didn't seem to co from the thunderclouds, but rather exploded deep within everyone's divine souls, carrying the magnificent heavenly might that could destroy everything and cleanse the universe.
The air was thick like congealed grease, perated with the sll of burning.
Mountain rocks groaned under invisible heavy pressure, emitting sounds of cracking under unbearable weight.
The entire Taizhou Mountain, and the mountain ranges for thousands of miles around it, trembled under this world-ending pressure, like isolated islands in raging waves.
Right below this tribulation cloud that seed capable of crushing both heaven and earth, on the flattened peak of Taizhou Mountain.
A figure stood alone, detached from the world.
Tu Shan Yue.
She wore only plain white gauze as thin as snow, barefoot, sitting cross-legged.
Nine exquisitely beautiful, enormous fox tails, as if condensed from the world's most brilliant flowing light, slowly swayed behind her.
Each movent created faint halos of light, appearing remarkably composed under this world-ending thunderlight.
That face capable of captivating all living beings showed no fear, no gravity, only a nearly indifferent calm.
She slightly raised her head, gazing deeply at the churning, roaring vortex of tribulation clouds above.
As if contemplating a predetermined destiny, yet also silently challenging the might of heaven and earth.
That ancient, noble, world-despising demonic energy stood firm like a sea-calming needle, firmly anchored at the storm's center, confronting the world-ending heavenly might as an equal.
"White Sword brother! Watch closely!"
Tu Shan Yue looked toward the Void Abyss direction, as if seeing through ten thousand miles to that white-clothed swordsman placing chess pieces.
"Today, I, Tu Shan Yue, will definitely beco an immortal!"
If she didn't succeed...
She quietly muttered to herself—then she would consider it paving the way for White Sword brother in advance.
If she had no fate in this life, then she would wait for the next life, when she would eventually find White Sword and beco the little fox by White Sword's side.
Even if...
White Sword hardly ever looked at her properly.
...
The mountainside, foot of the mountain, and even the countless suspended peaks and flying vessels around Taizhou Mountain were already crowded with people.
Nearly all the notable sects in the Cangyun Realm had turned out in full force.
Led by Chen Huaian, the Moon Shadow Sect occupied a floating peak with a decent view.
Li Qingran stood beside Chen Huaian, her small face tense, fists tightly clenched as she looked at that plain white figure on the peak, her expression complex.
She both hoped Tu Shan Yue would succeed in ascending and hoped she wouldn't.
She hoped for success because that would an the heavenly might no longer blocked Great Ascension Stage cultivators, and her master could smoothly beco an immortal in the future.
She hoped for failure because of Tu Shan Yue's demon race identity—if she beca an immortal, it might spell catastrophe for the Cangyun Realm.
The other disciples and elders didn't dare breathe heavily, their faces pale from being oppressed by this heavenly might.
The various top sects, reclusive clans... countless powerful auras interwove, yet appeared minuscule and suppressed under this heavenly tribulation pressure.
Discussions buzzed like ocean tides in the gaps between the oppressive thunderclaps.
"Heavenly might like a prison... is this the Nine-Tails Heavenly Fox's ascension tribulation? Truly terrifying!"
"Tu Shan Yue... such trendous courage! To dare face the heavenly might so directly!"
"Hmph, courage? Let's see if she can withstand the first tribulation lightning bolt before saying that!"
"If she succeeds... the demon race's arrogance will surely reach the heavens..."
Just look at those five Great Ascension Stage demonic auras near Tu Shan Yue that resembled guardians.
Now the five great demon saints in the Hundred Thousand Mountains felt emboldened again, their montum was truly arrogant!
