412: Ascension

With countless powerhouses gathered, forming numerous branches spread throughout the universe starry sky, the competitive pressure within the Dongxu Immortal Mansion is unimaginable.

Apart from Ji Qianqiu from the Qingming lineage, who has hope of reaching the Ascension Realm and can secure some influence, the other dozen or so Tongtian Realm Great Power are actually not very useful.

Finally, Lu Chen concluded.

The Seniors of the Qingming lineage, in fact, only want to obtain more resources to cultivate more outstanding individuals from their lineage.

Although they all belong to the Dongxu Immortal Mansion, there is also competition within the Immortal Mansion, which is unavoidable.

Lu Chen comes from the Qingming Dongming Sect, so naturally, he should contribute within his capabilities.

Furthermore, these Seniors from the Qingming lineage have taken very good care of his Master, the Third Elder, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder, investing a large amount of resources and even personally teaching them despite their status as Tongtian Realm Great Power.

Regardless of whether it was because of Lu Chen, he should return the favor.

Otherwise, with the foundation and Aptitude of the Third Elder, Grand Elder, and Second Elder, it would have been impossible to receive such intensive cultivation.

Look, the three Elders who were only in the Yang Spirit Realm back then are now on the verge of touching the Nascent Soul Realm. If they were still in the Azure Underworld, the three Elders might not have been able to reach this Realm even upon their demise.

Of course, the internal competition within the Dongxu Immortal Mansion is a healthy competition openly conducted. After all, there is a unfathomable Holy Master above them, and Immortals are living in seclusion, so mutual slaughter is almost impossible.

Finally, after discussing the important matters, Lu Chen asked about what interested him the most.

"Elders, how does one access the Immortal Path?"

The Immortal Path is where he will achieve his Dao, and it is also the place Lu Chen wants to go most.

Meng Elder chuckled softly and pointed towards the Middle Heaven above: "The Immortal Path is above the Middle Heaven. It is a place where Heavenly Pride from the Myriad Clans gather, and it is rumored to be the closest place to the Immortal Realm."

"In fact, that is also the easiest place to reach the Ascension Realm, and even the easiest place to become an Immortal. There are great opportunities, and even celestial treasures left behind from the Upper Realm. In ancient times, there were Heavenly Pride who obtained celestial herbs on the Immortal Path and ascended by consuming them. There were also Heavenly Pride who saw the shadow of an Eternal Life Immortal on the Immortal Path and achieved eternal life on the spot. There are too many such opportunities, but the Immortal Path is long and there are also great barriers. Only true Heavenly Pride can step into the deepest part of the Immortal Path and finally see the Heavenly Gate.

"But the Immortal Path has its rules. Those over three thousand years old are not allowed to enter the Immortal Path. Of course, for Junior Brother Lu, this rule is useless.

"In addition, the Immortal Path seems to have a major problem. It is very, very difficult to ascend unless one is powerful enough to forcibly open the Heavenly Gate and cross the barrier between the Immortal and Human Realms.

"However, those who can cultivate to the Ascension Realm within three thousand years are already very few, and to cultivate to the point where one can open the Heavenly Gate within three thousand years is even more difficult!"

Lu Chen's heart surged as he listened, not because of the great opportunities on the Immortal Path, nor because of the so-called Heavenly Gate.

What excited him was...

With such an awesome Immortal Path, how many Heavenly Pride from the Myriad Clans would rush into it?

Countless, simply countless!

Then, wouldn't these countless Heavenly Pride from the Myriad Clans be the best Dao Soldier seeds in his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin?!

As for eternal life, sorry, he has already obtained the Dao Fruit of Eternal Life. Even if the heavens and earth of the Universe wither and head towards their end, he can still exist forever.

Ascension?

Sorry, no need for opportunities. With his talent, he can naturally become an Immortal and ascend.

As for the Immortal Path having problems and being unable to ascend?

Then forcibly open the Heavenly Gate.

You say one person is not enough?

Then, is adding ten thousand Dao Soldiers comparable to Ascension enough?

If ten thousand is not enough, is one hundred thousand enough?

If one hundred thousand is not enough, there are still two hundred thousand...

Hmm, I wonder if this Human Realm can produce two hundred thousand Dao Soldiers comparable to Ascension?

It's not important. At least for now, there are still many, many powerhouses from the Myriad Clans who can satisfy the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

If Ascension is not enough, aren't there Fallen Immortals?

After endless years, who knows how many Fallen Immortals have fallen asleep in this starry sky?

Probably countless!

After all, Fallen Immortals are also Immortals and can exist for endless years without perishing.

Since these Fallen Immortals do not want to ascend to the Immortal Realm, then it's perfect. There is also a transcendent Dao Fruit in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin. Fellow Fallen Immortal Daoists, why not come and transcend?

Of course, no rush.

Lu Chen has his own cultivation plan.

After three days, when he sits on the Holy Son position, everything will become clear!

Afterward, Lu Chen brought his Master, the Third Elder, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder into an Immortal mountain specially reserved for him by the Qingming lineage, took out many Heaven And Earth Treasures that could temporarily help people gain enlightenment, and gave them to the three.

This kind of Heaven And Earth Treasure that can help people gain enlightenment is the most rare, but it has clear requirements for the Realm. For example, 'Azure Flame Lotus Seeds' are only useful for cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm, and some are only useful for beings below the Faxiang Realm.

And the stagnation of all cultivators' cultivation is almost entirely due to insufficient comprehension. Of course, Lu Chen is an exception.

Therefore, Lu Chen specifically chose this type of Heaven And Earth Treasure to give to the three Elders to help them break through their Realms.

With the resources he currently has, it is no problem to forcefully push the three Elders into the Nascent Soul Realm.

He has nothing but plenty of cultivation resources now.

…………

In the Suspended Immortal Palace.

Holy Son Zhao Yujing sat cross-legged on the ground, but...

Hmm, his appearance was not very good.

His left eye was bruised, his right eye was swollen, his nose was collapsed and dripping with two streams of nosebleed, the corners of his mouth were black and also stained with blood, and his right cheek was highly swollen, like a large steamed bun.

Simply put, he was beaten black and blue.

Beaten by whom?

Naturally, it was the Holy Master sitting high on the main hall with a poker face.

Why wasn't the Holy Master smiling heartily?

Because the Holy Master's left eye also had a circle of bruises.

A Holy Master, a Holy Son, two of the most noble and outwardly most powerful beings in the Dongxu Immortal Mansion, were now all silent, to the point where the air seemed to become oppressive.

In the main hall, it was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

After a long while, the Holy Son finally spoke, with a hint of annoyance, a hint of shock, and unwillingness: "When did the Holy Master achieve Ascension Immortal?"

Ascension Immortal, not Ascension Realm. This old guy has truly become an Immortal in the Human Realm.

Therefore, the Holy Son was beaten.

He can indeed fight Immortals, but he fights Fallen Immortals who have cut themselves into 'cripples', not Immortals who have fully become Immortals in the Human Realm like the Holy Master.

This is also where the Holy Son was shocked.

Didn't they say that the Immortal Path had problems and it was difficult to ascend and become an Immortal in the Human Realm?

What is the situation with this old guy, the Holy Master?

Is he even more powerful than me, an Immortal reborn?

He became an Immortal without opening the Heavenly Gate?!

Numerous question marks rose and fell in the Holy Son's mind. He couldn't understand, he had too many questions.

Many Elders knew that he disliked trouble and was solely focused on cultivating to become an Immortal, so they all kept it from him, Zhao Yujing, and did not tell him about the major problem with the Immortal Path.

But, he is Zhao Yujing, not a fool!

Could something that is almost known to everyone be hidden from him, Zhao Yujing?

If he wants to achieve Ascension Immortal, he must forcibly open the Heavenly Gate, break out of the Human Realm, and ascend to the Immortal Realm. What does the problem with the Immortal Path have to do with him, Zhao Yujing?

But, this Holy Master of his...

He forcibly achieved Ascension Immortal even when the Immortal Path had a major problem?!

Originally, Zhao Yujing thought that even if his Holy Master was strong, at most he would be at the peak of the Ascension Realm, at most on par with him, capable of fighting Fallen Immortals. Who would have thought this old guy...
