131: Chapter 131 First Entry into the Upper Realm! Who Ascends with So Many People?

Yuchuan Realm, Ascension Platform No. 74.

This is one of the stops for ascenders from the three thousand Small Worlds to step into the Upper Realm, and it's also the most desolate and unpopular frontier of the Immortal Realm.

Although the Spiritual Qi is a hundred times denser than in the Lower Realm, in the eyes of true Immortals, it is still a backwater.

"Liang Kun, it's been ten years, and among the three thousand Ascension Platforms combined, not even a hundred unlucky bastards have ascended."

A thin Guixu Cultivator leaned against a cold stone pillar, impatiently spitting out the Spiritual Plant in his mouth.

"They just told us to wait here, but we haven't seen a single hair until now. Is the higher-up playing us?"

The middle-aged Cultivator called Liang Kun also shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with numbness:

"This is the Old Ancestor's command; what choice do we have? Taking that pitiful salary, we have to do this endless work."

Ten years ago, the two received an order from the Blood Fiend Ancestor under Immortal Yuxu to stake out this godforsaken place for an ascender from the Lower Realm.

Although they were both in the Guixu Realm, in a place like the Yuchuan Realm, Guixu was merely the threshold of having just escaped the title of 'ant.'

Above, they couldn't fight those Immortals; below, they didn't dare provoke those 'little kids' of the Second Generation Immortals who were often Heavenly Immortals.

This Realm was the most awkward.

"Don't even mention it."

The thin Cultivator suddenly lowered his voice, a flash of frantic greed in his eyes:

"Brother Liang, have you thought about it? So many Immortal Old Ancestors, even a long-famed Loose Immortal like Immortal Yuxu personally gave orders and exhausted all means to find this Lower Realm ascender... What kind of treasure is hidden on him?"

"Are you thinking...?" Liang Kun's heart stirred, and his breathing became rapid.

"The bold feast while the timid starve!"

The thin Cultivator leaned in closer, his voice as seductive as a devil's Gu:

"We foundationless Loose Cultivators are worse than dogs in this Yuchuan Realm! The eyes of those fairies look at us like we're trash! Even kids just a few years old dare to pee on our heads! Do you want to live like this forever?"

"I have inside information that this ascender possesses a supreme treasure, something even Immortals covet!"

"He's just newly ascended; at most, he's at the first or second stage of the Guixu Realm, while we brothers are at the fifth and sixth stages of Guixu! Together we take him down, search his soul, and seize the treasure. Then we fly away and find a place to live happily. Isn't that better than being a dog here?!"

Liang Kun admitted he was swayed.

He remembered a thousand years ago, when he bitterly pursued a female Cultivator who also had no Foundation, giving her everything, only to be heartlessly abandoned.

The woman's words back then still pricked his heart like a poison thorn: "Liang Kun, I'd rather be the 9,999th Cauldron for an Immortal master than spend a lifetime with a pauper like you!"

In the end, he watched his beloved marry a Second Generation Immortal three thousand years younger than her, who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.

Damn it!

This bullshit Upper Realm, he had long since had enough of it!

"Fine!"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Liang Kun's eyes, as if he had made the biggest decision of his life: "Wealth is found in danger! This job... we'll do it! We won't report it!"

"That's the spirit! Haha!"

Just as the two reached an agreement and were fantasizing about their future beautiful lives.

"Buzz—!!"

The Ascension Platform that had been silent for decades suddenly lit up one by one, its ancient rune arrays as if being charged!

A pillar of golden light, brilliant to the extreme, soared into the sky, even dyeing the clouds above golden!

"He's here!!"

The two held their breath, suppressing the excitement and greed in their hearts, staring intently at the center of the light pillar.

Could it be that the heavens truly heard their prayers and sent them a Heaven-Defying treasure to change their fate?

Time passed second by second.

When the blinding golden light dissipated, the figures of Su Feng and the others slowly emerged.

"Phew..."

Everyone was bathed in the golden 'Ascension Baptism,' feeling as if they were reborn.

Every cell was cheering, every inch of their Meridians was expanding, as if breaking free from some invisible shackles.

"Brother Feng... is this the Upper Realm?"

Su Yuan felt the power within him that seemed about to overflow, his expression excited: "I feel... as long as I want to, I can Breakthrough to Guixu at any time!"

"This is too exaggerated..."

Su Yan was even more shocked beyond words as he greedily breathed in the Immortal Qi in the air:

"The Immortal Qi here... is like a vast ocean! Compared to this place, our Tianyuan Continent is simply... simply beyond words!"

Su Feng smiled, looking at his excited family members, his heart filled with grand ambition: "Otherwise, how could it be called the Upper Realm?"

Su Yan couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, some people are born in Rome, while others... are born as beasts of burden. Now, we've finally stepped out of the cattle pen!"

Slowly, the rune light of the Ascension Platform grew even more intense and dazzling.

Meanwhile, Liang Kun and his companion, who had been observing from the shadows, gasped in unison when they saw the number of people on the Ascension Platform, their eyes nearly popping out.

"One, two, three... ten, a hundred... a thousand?!"

The two were completely dumbfounded.

Who brings their whole family and ascends by the 'thousands'?!

Is this even Ascension? This is clearly a clan-wide relocation!

"Look! The leader... isn't that the person in Immortal Yuxiao's portrait?!" Liang Kun excitedly tried to pat his companion, but he hit empty air.

He turned his head sharply; the spot beside him was already empty.

The thin Cultivator who was just calling him brother had already transformed into a streak of light, rushing toward Su Feng with a face full of greed. From his posture, it was clear he intended to hog the treasure for himself!

"Damn it! You disloyal bastard!!"

Liang Kun's expression changed, filled with both shock and anger.

He knew it was too late and could only curse inwardly while watching tensely.

"But... a newly ascended Lower Realm native would be at most at the second stage of Guixu. Facing a strike from a sixth-stage expert, perhaps..."

Then, in the next moment, Liang Kun's eyes nearly popped out.

The moment the thin Cultivator's attack was about to land on Su Feng, Su Feng merely gave him a faint glance.

"Boom—!!!!"

An indescribable, terrifying aura that seemed capable of suppressing the heavens and all worlds suddenly erupted from the white-robed youth's body!

The original second-stage Guixu aura surged frantically like a volcanic eruption in that instant!

Third stage... fourth stage... fifth stage...

Tenth stage of Guixu!!

"Puff~"

Before that arrogant sixth-stage Guixu Cultivator could even get within ten meters of Su Feng, his body was like a watermelon being smashed, exploding instantly!

Even his Primordial Spirit was strangled into nothingness by that terrifying airwave!

Instant kill!

Su Feng looked at the mist of blood, feeling the power still frantically climbing within him, and frowned slightly.

"It took one thousand two hundred years to reach the tenth stage of Guixu? This Realm... the requirement is too high, isn't it?"

When that terrifying figure turned his gaze toward him, Liang Kun felt his blood freeze.

He fell to his knees with a thud, his voice carrying a sob:

"Um... if I said I was just passing by, would you... believe me?"
