714: Chapter 714 Searching for Fragments of the Ascension Order

"Found it! It seems... right ahead!"

Su Yun took a step forward, instantly appearing thousands of feet away.

He lowered his gaze to the ground and noticed an intact object amidst the ruins before him.

Su Yun raised his hand and beckoned.

A finger-sized fragment suddenly appeared in his hand.

The fragment was crystal clear, with complex patterns of Laws flowing across its surface, emitting a faint, misty white light.

"Is this an immortal ascension token fragment?"

Su Yun examined the fragment in his hand carefully, weighed it in his palm, and released a bit of his Divine Sense to perceive it.

Soon, he faintly sensed that this immortal ascension token fragment contained a trace of a power he was extremely familiar with.

There was no mistake!

It was the power of the Haomiao Realm's Heavenly Dao!

It seemed he hadn't looked in the wrong place.

"Generally speaking, the trial tokens in this kind of Secret Realm usually have a built-in sensing function. Maybe it can sense the whereabouts of other fragments!"

A sharp glint flashed in Su Yun's eyes. "Whether it can or not, I'll know once I try!"

Immediately, he gripped the immortal ascension token fragment tightly and used it to sense his surroundings.

One breath.

Two breaths.

There it is!!!

Su Yun suddenly sensed a faint pull coming from one of the directions.

"I really guessed right. This immortal ascension token fragment indeed has a sensing function!

This feeling right now... could it be a second immortal ascension token fragment? It seems my luck is pretty good!"

A smile tugged at the corner of Su Yun's mouth as he took another step forward, flying toward that direction.

Upon arriving there, he began to search carefully.

There was nothing blocking his view in the surroundings, which were also in ruins, so Su Yun easily found the second immortal ascension token fragment.

He looked at the two immortal ascension token fragments in his hand, lost in thought.

"Although one immortal ascension token fragment can sense the direction of other fragments,

this perception isn't very precise. No wonder those NPCs started fighting directly earlier!"

"Right, I found two nearby. Could there be... a third?"

Su Yun used the immortal ascension token fragments in his hand to sense once more.

But no matter which fragment he used, there was no reaction.

This meant that there was no third immortal ascension token fragment nearby.

"Forget it, time to look elsewhere! Perhaps I need to gather enough fragments to assemble a complete ascension token before I can leave this city."

Su Yun raised his eyes to look at the sky.

"But this is just my guess.

I should first see if I can fly directly out of this city!"

Immediately, he flickered, turning into a streak of white light as he continued flying in one direction.

He flew for nearly half an incense stick's time.

Yet, Su Yun still hadn't reached the edge of the city.

Towering pavilions and halls stretching into the clouds were all that met his eyes.

There wasn't much of a change.

Su Yun changed directions a few more times.

Attempting to fly out of the city.

But no matter which direction he chose, the result was the same.

He had also tried flying high into the sky along the way, but that was equally impossible.

After all, there was also an invisible Restriction high above this city.

"Could this city be like the previous Tongtian Road, expanding infinitely?"

"That's not impossible!"

Su Yun continued to speculate:

"Clearly, this city is the same! Without meeting a certain condition, I cannot leave this place!"

"That condition... is probably related to the ascension token!"

"And what that Blue-robed Elder said earlier confirms this.

He said he had never obtained an immortal ascension token fragment!

Therefore, he didn't meet the condition of possessing a complete ascension token either!

This resulted in him wandering here constantly, unable to leave this city."

Su Yun frowned, his expression solemn.

"From the looks of it, if a Cultivator who enters this city doesn't gather all the fragments to assemble a complete ascension token,

they will be trapped in this city forever until death, just like that Blue-robed Elder."

"I also have a premonition that the longer one stays in this city, the more dangerous it will likely become!"

"This is no place to linger! I'd better hurry and find the other fragments!"

Having made up his mind, Su Yun turned into a stream of light and vanished from the spot once more.

As for where exactly to find the fragments?

Naturally, by looking for them on the large crowd of NPCs.

Judging from the situation just now,

to assemble a complete ascension token, one must kill these NPCs and snatch the immortal ascension token fragments from them.

Dozens of breaths later, through the faint sensing of the immortal ascension token fragments in his hand, Su Yun found another group of Cultivators.

Among them, there was no shortage of High-Stage Mahayana Cultivators, as well as many Cultivators of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, who were engaged in a chaotic free-for-all just like before.

Su Yun didn't hesitate in the slightest, flickering directly into the chaotic battlefield.

Any other Mahayana Cultivator who entered the Ancient Road to Immortality to take the trial would probably find a way to hide in the shadows, biding their time to launch a sneak attack.

But he didn't need to go through such trouble.

He could just strike directly.

With Su Yun's current strength, unless he encountered an Immortal or his Revered Master, he could basically crush everyone directly.

Just like that, a battle of one against many ended in a mere few breaths.

Without a doubt, the victor was Su Yun.

Immediately, Su Yun looked around and found a new immortal ascension token fragment among the ruins of the recent battle.

Having obtained another immortal ascension token fragment, he took out the other two fragments and placed them together.

"Three fragments... don't seem to be enough! I probably need more immortal ascension token fragments to assemble a complete ascension token."

Su Yun muttered to himself as he looked at the three unresponsive immortal ascension token fragments in his hand.

Since that was the case, he could only continue. There was nothing more to say.

Sensing once again through the immortal ascension token fragments in his hand,

Su Yun found the whereabouts of other fragments.

What followed was no exception.

Battles.

Constant battles.

The strength of the Mahayana Cultivators Su Yun encountered grew stronger and stronger.

They basically fought with all their might.

Yet, he could still handle them with ease.

Moreover, the immortal ascension token fragments he gathered gradually increased in number.

Four.

Five.

...

Nine.

Just as Su Yun obtained the ninth immortal ascension token fragment, a sudden change occurred.

The nine immortal ascension token fragments he had obtained burst with dazzling, misty white light at the same time.

They floated into the air on their own.

Shifting and changing positions in a profound manner, they automatically reshaped themselves and finally fused together seamlessly.

After another flash of white light,

the nine fragments transformed into a crystal-clear token, with the words "Immortal Ascension" engraved upon it.

Flowing light and vibrant colors swirled on the token, with faint glows of rosy light shimmering and a trace of Dao charm wrapping around it, making it look extraordinary at a glance.

"It's finally assembled. It seems one must gather nine immortal ascension token fragments to obtain a complete ascension token!"

Su Yun reached out and gently grabbed it, and the ascension token appeared in his palm.

"Huh? Wait, this is..."
