489: Ancestor, immortal

Within the Starry Sky, Immortal might subtly permeated the air. Even without fully erupting, it still caused ripples to appear in the Void out of nowhere, as if unable to bear its weight and on the verge of collapse.

Because here, Immortals were gathered.

"Who would have thought that a mere Human Race Lu Chen could alarm the Old Ancestors of our clan? Even if he perishes the moment he steps out of the Immortal Path, it would be enough for him to be proud!" exclaimed an old Ascension Realm from the Bixi Clan.

One couldn't help but exclaim, because even when that world-shaking Immortal scripture appeared in the Immortal Path previously, only Flying Ascension Immortals were dispatched from the Dragon's Nine Sons lineage.

No, it wasn't just the Dragon's Nine Sons lineage; even Ancient Clans, Sacred Spirit Race, God Clan, Golden Crow Emperor Clan, Asura Clan, Human Race, and other Myriad Clans only dispatched Flying Ascension Immortals.

But now, currently, several Eternal Life Immortals were gathered here, each one an ancient Immortal who had existed for a long time, witnessing the rise and fall of generations of Heavenly Prides.

They were high above, undisturbed by time, quietly observing the Human Realm's ups and downs. Even after the great changes in the world, they merely chose to slumber, reducing consumption within their respective clan's Hidden Immortal Land.

But now, they had all appeared!

And it was all for the Human Race Lu Chen!

This showed just how extraordinary the Human Race Lu Chen was, having rapidly risen in the current era and bloomed with the most dazzling brilliance!

"The Golden Crow Emperor Clan, Nether Clan, God Clan, and our Dragon's Nine Sons lineage, a total of seven Eternal Life Immortals gathered, waking from slumber. Such a spectacle has probably never appeared within the last few Yuan Epochs!"

"It's not just as simple as Eternal Life Immortals!" An old Ascension Realm from the Ya Zi Clan had a fanatic glint in his eyes as he looked at one of the figures, a middle-aged man with dragon horns on his head, resembling a True Dragon residing in the world.

"This one is a being from our clan's legends who once astonished an era. During a certain period, he reached the top five on the Heaven's Pride Rankings, suppressing countless Heavenly Prides. His name is 'Long Cheng', and it is still recorded in the clan's ancient texts, renowned for ten thousand generations. It is said he has existed for over ten Yuan Epochs, and now he is probably not far from becoming a True Immortal!"

These old Ascension Realms were all from the Dragon's Nine Sons lineage who had previously prepared to ambush Lu Chen outside the Immortal Path.

However, later, Lu Chen's fierce reputation for killing Demon Immortals like chickens in the Immortal Path shook the Starry Sky, long having scared them out of their wits. How could they still dare to continue lurking and ambushing Lu Chen?

This plan to ambush Lu Chen was declared stillborn before it could even truly begin.

Of course, it was also fortunate that the Immortal scripture appeared. Otherwise, if they had truly waited for Lu Chen, they would likely have died extremely quickly, perhaps unable to withstand even a single glance from him.

"It's not just your Ya Zi Clan's Old Ancestor 'Long Cheng'. Do you know the background of those two from my Golden Crow Emperor Clan?" The Great Golden Crow from the Golden Crow Emperor Clan raised his head proudly. "That Old Ancestor 'Di Huang' once reached second place on the Heaven's Pride Rankings in a certain era. The other one, 'Emperor Wei Jun', even reached first place on the Heaven's Pride Rankings in a certain era, suppressing the Heavenly Prides of the Myriad Clans! And his existence dates back only five Yuan Epochs ago. If not for the great changes in the world, this Old Ancestor would have entered the True Immortal realm twelve thousand years ago!"

"Unfortunately, the Human Realm lost contact with the Upper Realm, and Old Ancestor 'Emperor Wei Jun' did not attain the True Immortal realm. This is not the fault of my Old Ancestor, but rather the world not allowing it!"

'Emperor Wei Jun!' This name is not only circulated in the Golden Crow Emperor Clan; even among the God Clan, it is heard!" The Ascension Realm from the God Clan sighed inwardly.

But who could have expected that such a Heavenly Pride, after becoming an Immortal, would not choose to ascend but instead remained in the Human Realm?

But from this point, one could also see how cruel the Upper Realm was. Even the Heavenly Pride of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan was unwilling to ascend immediately, choosing instead to attain a stronger Immortal position before being willing to ascend.

However, times changed, and the world suddenly underwent great changes, so much so that now, those who had already become Immortals were unable to ascend if they wished.

If not for this, Emperor Wei Jun would most likely have already left the Human Realm after achieving True Immortal status, and would not have waited until today!

Of course, it's also possible that Emperor Wei Jun wanted to ascend to the Upper Realm after becoming a Heavenly King, which is unknown.

After all, when the Upper Realm and the Human Realm were not yet disconnected, the Hidden Immortal Lands of various clans could support the existence of Heavenly Kings because there would be a continuous stream of Eternal Life matter and Immortal Qi flowing from the Upper Realm into the Hidden Immortal Lands of the Lower Realm.

"My God Clan's two Old Ancestors are also not bad, I presume you have also heard of them. One is 'Worship Tong Shen'. In the era this Old Ancestor was in, he had already reached the Ascension Immortal realm after cultivating for twenty thousand years, and was a famous existence at that time. The second Old Ancestor, 'Sacrifice Wuguang', even cultivated nineteen Dharma Idols, shaking an era. Now, both are on the verge of becoming True Immortals!" The Ascension Realm from the God Clan was unwilling to fall behind.

The Ascension Realm from the Nether Clan praised, "Indeed, they are all Old Ancestor Immortals who were once famous in an era. But my Nether Clan's two Old Ancestors also have backgrounds, I presume you might have also heard of them."

"Qin Xiangtian, this Old Ancestor is rumored to have found the body of an Immortal from the Immortal Path, reborn in the Netherworld, transforming into a Nether Clan member. Since his birth, he has always been an existence that dominates the Starry Sky."

"The other Old Ancestor, Ji Moqiu, is rumored to have been a Zombie who died and gave birth to sentience in the Netherworld. On his body, he has lived three times, with astonishing potential. When the Upper Realm and the Human Realm were not yet disconnected, even the Nether King of the Upper Realm once prophesied that Old Ancestor Ji Moqiu would have the potential to become an Immortal King in the future."

'Ji Moqiu?!' This name caused the Ascension Realms from the God Clan, Golden Crow Emperor Clan, and Dragon's Nine Sons lineage to be greatly shocked!

Because this name, they had truly seen records of it in their respective ancient texts.

A 'Zombie' is originally an extremely rare existence, a zombie who has attained enlightenment, comparable to an Immortal.

This means that before becoming a Zombie, this body had lived one life. Becoming a Zombie, this body then lived its second life.

And after the Zombie, there was Ji Moqiu!

The same Physical Body had housed three different consciousnesses. Besides the unknown existence of the first life, the second life as a Zombie, and the third life as Ji Moqiu, all had astonishing achievements. This showed just how extraordinary Ji Moqiu's Physical Body was.

Having gone through three lives, refining the same Physical Body together, it was unimaginable what kind of world-shaking Divine Might it would possess after Ji Moqiu.

Perhaps even in the face of a True Immortal, this Old Ancestor Ji Moqiu of the Nether Clan could fight against him.

"With these Old Ancestors, who are now Eternal Life Immortals, personally taking charge, that Human Race Lu Chen, as well as Li Wuji and Zhao Yujing, are bound to be doomed!"

Yes, it wasn't just Lu Chen, but also Li Wuji, a descendant of Nine Li, and Zhao Yujing, who were all targets they wanted to eliminate!

After all, with such Eternal Life Immortal Old Ancestors personally coming out and not hesitating to forcefully take action, how could they stop at merely killing one Lu Chen?

While the Ascension Realms from various clans here were praising their own Eternal Life Immortal Old Ancestors to each other, on the other side, the seven Eternal Life Immortal Old Ancestors merely sat quietly in the Starry Sky, eyes closed and silent.

Upon reaching their level, the restrictions they faced in the Human Realm were too great. If not for the great changes in the world preventing Ascension, Immortals like them, whenever they stepped out of the Hidden Immortal Land, would be repelled by the Human Realm and forcibly sent to the Upper Realm.

However, even though the world was different now, existences like them still found it difficult to remain in the Human Realm for long. It wasn't because the world repelled them, but because there was no longer Eternal Life matter or Immortal Qi in the Human Realm.

Any time they took action or moved, it was consuming their own foundation.

If this continued for a long time without replenishment, even if their lifespan would not be cut short, they would fall into weakness until they entered a deep slumber.

"The Human Race Lu Chen, I fear, already possesses the combat power of an Eternal Life Immortal level, and is not comparable to an ordinary Eternal Life Immortal." Old Ancestor Di Huang of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan, whose Imperial might rumbled and who naturally exuded the demeanor of an Emperor, spoke slowly.
