120: Change the map, continue being a bug.

That single word, "Disperse," seemed to carry the power of the Heavenly Dao, making Law-Following Speech.

The voice wasn't loud, yet it echoed clearly in the ears of every living being on the Azure Cloud Continent, imprinted deep within their Divine Souls.

Then, the world fell silent.

The World-Destroying Lightning Pillar, formed by the convergence of tens of thousands of Lightning Dragons and powerful enough to sink the entire continental plate, simply dissipated in the air, silently and without a trace.

Like a sand painting blown away by the wind, not even a single spark or a hint of a scorched smell remained.

High above, the purple-black Tribulation Clouds that had been churning for several hours and weighing down the entire continent until it couldn't breathe, also vanished into thin air.

The wind stopped.

The clouds dispersed.

Sunlight once again spilled across the land.

It was as if the world-ending apocalyptic scene from just moments ago was nothing more than a ridiculous, absurd dream.

But the hundreds of millions of Cultivators on the continent, all looking up with mouths agape in the same frozen posture, proved that it was all real.

Their minds had completely shut down.

At this moment, their worldview was crushed to pieces by that man with a single word.

Undergoing Tribulation... can it really be played like this?

That was a Heavenly Tribulation! It was the ultimate test from the Heavenly Dao for practitioners! It was the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all great experts!

How could it be as simple as blowing a breath or shooing away a fly when it came to him?

*Gulp.*

Within a secluded Immortal Cave in the Central Continent Sacred Domain, the Mahayana Old Ancestor who had lived for a hundred thousand years swallowed hard, feeling as though his hundred thousand years had all been lived in vain... Atop the peak of the divine mountain, high in the sky.

After the Tribulation Clouds that tore through the sky dispersed, the heavens did not return to tranquility.

A massive gate of light, billions of times brighter than the sun, slowly swung open at the very center of the firmament.

Inside the gate of light was a deep and boundless Chaos, overflowing with brilliant colors, as if connecting to a much vaster and more Advanced world.

An irresistible pulling force, originating from the world's Origin, projected down from the light gate, precisely locking onto Chu Xuanjin and the dozen or so Disciples and Elders behind him whose auras were erupting.

"Revered Master, is this... the Ascension Passage?"

Ye Chenfeng looked at the magnificent gate of light; even with his Clear Sword Heart, he couldn't help but feel his mind and soul surge at this moment.

"Mm, it's just a ticket to the Upper Realm." Chu Xuanjin remained as lazy as ever, as if the wondrous sight before him wasn't even as interesting as the teacup in his hand.

"Everyone, stand firm."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his sleeve.

An incredibly gentle yet supremely powerful surge of immortal essence wrapped softly around Ye Chenfeng, Zhao Wuyou, Su Linger, and the dozen others.

In the next second, they turned into a beam of light and shot uncontrollably toward the gate of light.

Just as they were about to disappear into the gate of light.

The Myriad Dao Divine Mountain, which had manifested before the world and shocked the entire continent, also began to become illusory and ethereal.

Finally, under countless stunned gazes from below, it vanished into the horizon along with that figure in green robes.

The gate of light slowly closed.

The divine mountain hid without a trace.

The sky finally returned to a cloudless clarity.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Only a legend about a god, about a single word that forced back the Heavenly Tribulation, remained to be passed down through the ages on this continent... Inside the Myriad Dao Divine Mountain.

On the square in front of the Sect Master Hall, Wang Duojin and the tens of thousands of other Disciples and Elders looked up, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

They had witnessed their Revered Master's (Sect Master's) supreme Divine Might with their own eyes, and personally watched their Eldest Senior Brother and the others follow in Revered Master's footsteps onto the legendary path of Ascension.

They were shocked, excited, and filled with a sense of pride.

But following that was an indescribable sense of loss.

Especially Wang Duojin.

He looked at the empty sky and felt as if a large part of his heart had gone empty as well.

"Dammit!"

He stamped his foot hard, his face full of annoyance and resentment.

"Just a tiny bit short! Just a tiny bit!"

"Why am I not at Mahayana Perfection!"

He grabbed his hair and let out a scream like a marmot.

Beside him, Gongsun Yan and Bai Jinnian also had faces full of envy and longing.

"Senior Brother, don't be sad," Gongsun Yan comforted in a low voice. "Didn't Revered Master say he'd be waiting for us in the Upper Realm?"

"That's right." Bai Jinnian pushed up the non-existent glasses on the bridge of his nose, the flame of "knowledge" burning in his eyes.

"The library in the Upper Realm must be much larger than the one here."

Wang Duojin suddenly looked up, fighting spirit reigniting in his bloodshot eyes.

"Yes! Revered Master is waiting for us!"

He clenched his fist tightly and made his vow to the sky.

"Senior Brother! Senior Sister! Just you wait!"

"And Revered Master! You must secure a good territory for our Myriad Dao Merchant Guild in the Upper Realm! In one year at most, I, Wang Duojin, will bring all our assets from the Lower Realm up to join you!"

His vow also ignited the passion of all the Disciples on the square.

"Cultivate hard! Follow the Sect Master!"

"Ascension! Ascension!"

An unprecedented cultivation craze swept through the entire Myriad Dao Divine Sect, beginning right here... Xuantian Immortal Domain.

Deep within an unknown but ancient mountain range shrouded in Immortal Qi.

Space rippled like the surface of water.

In the next second, a gate of light opened out of thin air, and a dozen figures tumbled out, landing lightly on the thick layer of fallen leaves.

It was Chu Xuanjin and his party.

*Cough, cough...*

Elder Chi Lan clutched his chest and coughed violently, his face somewhat pale.

"Such... such heavy power of Law!"

The other Elders and Disciples felt the same.

They felt as if they had been thrown from water into viscous mercury.

The Immortal Spiritual Qi in the air, so dense it was almost physical, did not make them feel refreshed. Instead, it felt like invisible mountains pressing down on their limbs and bones, making even breathing difficult.

The spiritual power within their bodies also became incredibly difficult to circulate.

In this world, they felt their heaven-defying Mahayana Perfection cultivation was suppressed to the point where they couldn't even exert a tenth of it.

"Is this... the Immortal Realm?"

Su Linger looked around, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

As far as the eye could see, there were towering giant trees.

Each one was thicker than the most magnificent pillars in the palaces of the Lower Realm, soaring into the clouds and blotting out the sun.

Any inconspicuous weed was glowing with brilliant colors and contained pure Immortal Spiritual Qi; in the Lower Realm, it would be enough to make countless Cultivators fight to the death for it.

The roars of beasts from afar carried a terrifying pressure originating from their Bloodlines, making their Divine Souls tremble.

This was the Upper Realm!

A world with complete Laws and an energy level far exceeding that of the Lower Realm—a true world of immortal cultivation!

While everyone was still reeling from the shock of the new world.

In Chu Xuanjin's mind, the System's cold notification sounds were spamming like a waterfall.

[Ding! Detected that the Host's Disciples Ye Chenfeng, Su Linger, Zhao Wuyou... and others have successfully ascended to the Immortal Realm. Baptized by the Laws of the Immortal Realm, their cultivation has broken through to—Early-stage Earth Immortal!]

[Ding! Triggered 10,000-fold critical hit return!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: A massive cultivation empowerment! Cultivation increased to—Late-stage Golden Immortal!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully ascending to the Immortal Realm. As a reward, you receive [Ascension Grand Gift Pack] *1!]

[Ding! Detected the first Ascension of Sect members. As a reward, you receive [Immortal Realm Resource Small Gift Pack] *1!]

[Ding! Detected that the Sect's sphere of influence has successfully expanded to the Xuantian Immortal Domain! As a reward, you receive: Early-stage True Immortal Characters *5!]

Chu Xuanjin: "..."

He was numb again.

This feeling was like just switching to a new map in a game, and before you could even catch your breath, the System stuffed a bunch of end-game gear directly into your inventory.

Dull and uninteresting.

"Sect Master, are you alright?"

Elder Chi Lan saw Chu Xuanjin standing there motionless and, thinking he was also heavily suppressed by the Immortal Realm Laws, hurriedly asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Chu Xuanjin waved his hand, his expression calm and unruffled.

He wasn't in the mood to open those fancy gift packs for now, so he directly questioned the System in his mind.

"System, I'm in the Immortal Realm now. Can the Myriad Dao Divine Mountain still be used? Will it be discovered by the big shots here?"

[Ding! The Myriad Dao Divine Mountain is a supreme space independent of the myriad heavens and worlds, unaffected by the Laws of any plane.]

[As long as the Host does not actively expose it, no one can pry into its existence.]

"Very good." Chu Xuanjin felt reassured.

"Then, can the Disciples in my Sect who are still in the Lower Realm be directly teleported to the Immortal Realm?"

[Ding! No.]

[Lower Realm Disciples' cultivation is too low to withstand the complete power of Laws in the Immortal Realm. Forced teleportation will only result in them being instantly crushed to dust by the Laws.]

As expected.

Chu Xuanjin had already anticipated this.

"Then can those of us who have already ascended go back?"

[Ding! Yes. However, the Host and the ascended Disciples are tainted with the aura of the Immortal Realm's Laws. Without a special treasure to shield them, returning to the Lower Realm will immediately trigger a destructive rejection from the Lower Realm's Heavenly Dao.]

[Note: The [heaven-shading umbrella] owned by the Host can perfectly shield against the Lower Realm's heavenly secrets and Law detection.]

"Understood."

After asking the last question, Chu Xuanjin was completely at ease.

As long as the Myriad Dao Divine Mountain, this BUG-level mobile fortress, could still be used, he would have the greatest confidence in the Immortal Realm.

If I can't win the fight, can't I just hide?

Moreover, since the divine mountain was usable, it meant he could continue teaching those Disciples who were still in the Lower Realm inside it.

At this thought, a brilliant idea spontaneously arose in his mind.

He could get some good stuff in the Immortal Realm.

Then, bring it into the divine mountain.

And then, hand it over to Wang Duojin and the other little fellows who were still working hard in the Lower Realm.

Although the items in the Sect's treasury were already piled so high there was almost no room left.

But who would complain about having too many treasures?

The Heaven And Earth Treasures of the Lower Realm were, after all, "mortal items."

Whereas those of the Immortal Realm... Chu Xuanjin's gaze swept over an unknown plant growing under a nearby tree that looked like a radish but emitted a faint immortal glow.

[Name: 3,000-year-old jade marrow ginseng]

[Grade: Low Grade Immortal Rank]

[Effect: Can significantly increase the cultivation and Divine Soul power of Cultivators below the True Immortal level.]

The corners of Chu Xuanjin's mouth slowly curled up.

"It seems it's time to update the equipment for those little fellows in the Lower Realm."
