208: Chapter 207 After forty-five years of cultivation, he finally ascended to immortality.

The heavens and earth lost their color, and all things fell silent.

A blinding white light swallowed everything, and the entire Central Province trembled.

I do not know how much time passed, but the light gradually dissipated. Xiao Ye stood in mid-air, his entire body charred black, his robes tattered to shreds, yet his back remained straight.

The taihuang sword was tucked at his waist, and lingering lightning still crackled on the blade.

He raised his head, looking at the slowly opening Immortal Realm gate, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

"It is done."

The Immortal Realm gate swung wide open, radiating ten thousand zhang of golden light.

Xiao Ye turned around, glanced at his concubines and children in the distance, and waved his hand.

"I shall take the lead. When your cultivation reaches the level, I will come to fetch you." Having said that, he stepped into the Immortal Realm gate.

The golden light closed, and the sky returned to calm.

The Central Province fell deathly silent.

Countless Cultivators gazed up at the sky, unable to speak for a long time. The Holy Lord of Tianji muttered to himself, "Peak Earth Immortal, Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension... This child is no ordinary creature."

The Old Ancestor of Taiqing sighed and shook his head, "From this day on, the Xiao Family is the number one clan in the Central Province."

Palace Master Mosha held the Chaos Immortal Artifact, standing at the highest point of the Xiao Mansion, watching the purple Qi gradually dissipate; her eyes reddened, yet she smiled.

"Sisters, do not cry. His Majesty said he would come to fetch us." Zhang Waner wiped away a tear, stood up, and clenched her fists, "Cultivate well, and do not let His Majesty wait too long." The concubines dried their tears and replied in unison.

In the distance, A-Diao squatted on a stone pillar, let out a "chirp," and spat out a string of sparks. It was also waiting.

Waiting for its Big Daddy to come and fetch it.

The Immortal Realm.

The end point of the three thousand cultivation worlds, the supreme location.

The Great Western Heaven, the source of Buddha and Dao, occupied one side; the Great Luo Heaven, where supreme beings resided, was hidden above the sea of clouds; the Heavenly Court, Immortal Dynasties, and supreme orthodoxies and other immortal forces each occupied their own territories, ruling over the heavens and the earth.

The ultimate destination for the vast majority of living beings in the three thousand cultivation worlds and the myriad heavens.

After Ascension, one is usually transported by the Immortal Realm gate to the Flying Immortal Pool. After bathing in the pool water to cleanse the marrow and cut the hair, one is taken over by the governing forces.

There are one hundred thousand Flying Immortal Pools in the entire Immortal Realm.

The extreme west, the Ziluo Immortal Domain.

This place is governed by the Immortal King Ziluo.

Today, the major Sects of the Ziluo Immortal Domain gathered once again by the pool, waiting for a new batch of ascenders to emerge, trying their luck at picking a few good seedlings.

Those who can ascend from the Lower Realm are all people of great perseverance; if one happens to encounter someone with a good Spiritual Root, it is like striking gold.

Of course, there is an even more important matter—catching people to mine.

The Immortal Realm has numerous mineral veins; ordinary Cultivators find them difficult to mine, but ascenders have great strength and patience, making them just right.

"Everyone, according to the quota, this time my Earth Fiend Sect wants one hundred ascenders. No objections, right?" Around the Flying Immortal Pool, terrifying dharmakayas stood tall. Among them, a giant with a majestic physique and a body shimmering with golden light spoke loudly.

"My Undead Immortal Sect also wants one hundred." Another old man spoke indifferently, agreeing on the quota.

"Hehe... stop talking, they are here." A Heavenly Immortal expert looked at the pool water below and suddenly grinned.

Xiao Ye felt as if he had had a long dream, his body floating upward uncontrollably.

It was like being in water, and also like being in the clouds, shuttling through mysterious spatial barriers and huge crystal wall Systems, ascending upwards layer by layer.

His life was sublimating, yet he had the illusion of being unable to exert any strength—he understood that he had entered the passage to the Immortal Realm.

Time, space, and Law—everything was changing, completely different from the Lower Realm.

Suddenly, colors appeared before his eyes, like swimming from an eye of the sea into a vast ocean.

"Ding—!"

"Congratulations to the host, after forty-five years of hard sowing—ah, ptooey, hard cultivation, you have finally ascended to the Immortal Realm!"

"Rewards issued as follows—"

"Xiaoyao Immortal Technique: This immortal technique is unparalleled in its profoundness. It can not only significantly increase cultivation speed but also comes with the wonderful utility of 'Wandering the World as a Mortal'—it can conceal all immortal might, returning one's aura to simplicity, disguising oneself as a Mortal without any flaws. It is truly an essential item for playing the pig to eat the tiger and developing in secret."

"Nine-Turn Sacred Body: The first turn allows one to fight Earth Immortals with the Physical Body; the second turn allows one to fight Heavenly Immortals; the third turn allows one to fight True Immortals... The ninth turn allows one to fight Great Emperors with the Physical Body."

"Lu Immortal Sword × 1: One of the four ancient Immortals-Slaughtering Swords, its power of slaughter reaches the heavens and the earth. If one collects all four swords, one can set up the Immortals-Slaughtering Sword Formation, with power sufficient to slaughter gods and destroy Buddhas, shaking the universe."

"The rewards have been stored in the System space, and the host can extract and use them at any time. May the host continue to carry forward the glorious tradition of 'collecting one upon seeing one, and bearing one upon collecting one' in the Immortal Realm, keep up the good work, and create new brilliance."

Xiao Ye looked at the golden characters on the System panel, the corners of his mouth slowly curling up to his ears.

Xiaoyao Immortal Technique, disguising as a Mortal;

Nine-Turn Sacred Body: With Major Achievement in cultivation, one can fight Great Emperors with the Physical Body;

Lu Immortal Sword, one of the four Immortals-Slaughtering Swords—this start is countless times stronger than back in the Lower Realm.

"Immortal Realm, I have arrived."

The next moment, his expression instantly froze awkwardly.

Powerful figures stood on the shore, looking down at him with expressions that were not quite smiles.

There were men and women, most of their cultivation was at the Heavenly Immortal level, and the auras of some were even more unfathomable.

Xiao Ye finally saw his surroundings clearly—he was soaking in a huge Flying Immortal Pool.

The pool water was shrouded in mist, containing a majestic power that wrapped around his body, actually washing away Impurities and strengthening his Physical Body.

He was not the only one in the pool; it was densely packed with newly emerged ascenders—men, women, old, young, in strange attire, and even creatures that were not human.

A rough glance showed nearly ten thousand people.

At this moment, a man wearing silver armor walked to the edge of the pool and spoke expressionlessly, "You ascenders from the Lower Realm, listen well. These are all Elders and representatives from the various Immortal Sects of the Ziluo Immortal Domain. You must obediently follow arrangements and must not act rashly."

His tone was indifferent, as if lecturing.

As soon as his words fell, a proud man carrying a long sword rushed out from the pool. His cultivation was at the ninth layer of Earth Immortal, and he shouted coldly, "Hmph! I am the Eternal Sword God; you are not worthy of speaking to me. Let your masters come!"

Before his voice fell—bang!

A Heavenly Immortal casually extended a finger and killed him on the spot, quick and clean.

"Ignorant of life and death. It seems you still haven't recognized your situation. This is the Immortal Realm, not the Lower Realm. No matter what kind of person you were in the Lower Realm, once you are here, you must be obedient." That Heavenly Immortal swept coldly across the pool surface, his gaze as majestic as a blade.

The ascenders in the pool felt a chill in their hearts and hurriedly restrained their anger, not daring to show even the slightest dissatisfaction. None of those who could reach this stage were fools; with a warning example before them, who would dare to stick their necks out?

"Interesting, running into this kind of thing just after ascending." Xiao Ye shook his head secretly, finally understanding in his heart why those old monsters in the Holy Lands of the Lower Realm were not in a hurry to ascend.

Once they come up, they lose their authority and have to start over. High and mighty in the Lower Realm, admired by ten thousand people, but reduced to the bottom layer in the Immortal Realm—this blow to the Dao Heart is not something an ordinary person can withstand.

Most of these newly ascended people in the pool were at the Early Stage of Earth Immortal; how could they be rivals to Heavenly Immortals? Not to mention there were True Immortals presiding.

Even an expert at the Late Stage of Earth Immortal would not have much chance of winning against the natives of the Immortal Realm.

Xiao Ye's mind stirred, and he secretly circulated the "Xiaoyao Immortal Technique" he had just obtained not long ago, quietly absorbing the immortal power in the Flying Immortal Pool, and began to charge towards the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Once he finished his Breakthrough, it would be time to let these Immortal Realm natives understand—ascenders also have the qualifications to speak.

"Alright, let me see if there are any good seedlings." A female True Immortal wearing palace attire had her eyes flicker, shooting out a golden light that enveloped the Flying Immortal Pool.

Under the stimulation of the golden light, some people began to glow.

Xiao Ye felt the Chaos Spiritual Root in his body stirring and hurriedly suppressed it.

Before Ascension, he had already upgraded his Spiritual Root to the Chaos level, but given the unclear situation, it was better to keep a low profile.

"Eh? There is actually one with an Immortal Spiritual Root?"
