226: Is this something that just ascended to immortality? Are you kidding me?

Ning Yan and the others were very excited, but Su Chen remained very calm.

The Immortal Realm, in his eyes, was nothing more than a slightly stronger world; in essence, it was no different from the Xuantian Realm.

In an instant.

The extremely thick aura from the surroundings began to gather frantically, like a series of long Dragons.

“What is this!”

Yan Wanwan couldn't help but exclaim; the immortal power pouring into their bodies was already very abundant. If any more came, they would be uncomfortably bloated.

“This doesn't seem to be for us...”

Lin Yimeng suddenly looked toward Su Chen, only to see the Dragons formed of immortal power rapidly converging toward him.

Compared to Ning Yan and the others, the immortal power gathering toward Su Chen poured in like a torrential river.

After the comparison, the difference was immediately obvious.

The immortal power gathering toward Yan Wanwan and the others was like a small stream, but what gathered toward Su Chen was a great river.

Ah!?

Yan Wanwan and the others were dumbfounded; was the gap really this large?

Su Chen frowned; although this immortal power was extremely vast, it felt to him like a river flowing into the sea—he felt nothing at all.

At this rate, he didn't know when he would be able to raise his cultivation to the Immortal Realm.

While in the Great Emperor Extreme Realm, although he possessed the Chaos Physique, he essentially absorbed spiritual power, so it could only be called a mortal body.

But after coming to the Immortal Realm and being cleansed by immortal power, his Chaos Physique would truly have its Awakening, and his strength would climb significantly once more.

“Too slow!”

Su Chen murmured. His pores opened, and a terrifying suction force swept out. The immortal power that was already frantically gathering toward him suddenly increased several-fold.

Immortal power from hundreds of miles around began to converge toward him.

“Hmm?”

Ten thousand miles away, a group of people was walking on a road. The leader wore purple robes and had a powerful aura.

“Why is the immortal power so turbulent? Is someone breaking through here?”

“Zhang Yonghai, go see what's happening.”

A middle-aged man beside him nodded respectfully upon hearing this, and then his figure vanished.

A moment later, the middle-aged man returned, his face full of surprise and joy.

“Patriarch, a Spirit Gathering is happening ahead. A Prodigy from the Lower Realm has entered the Upper Realm.”

Spirit Gathering is the process where an ascender is transformed by immortal power after entering the Immortal Realm.

What!

Hearing this, Zhang Yun couldn't help but be shocked. Such a terrifying Spirit Gathering was rare even among all the Prodigies who had ascended from the Lower Realm.

If such a person is recruited into my Zhang family, my Su Family will surely gain another powerhouse in the future.

Prodigies who ascend from the Lower Realm can almost all grow to the Heavenly Immortal Realm after reaching the Immortal Realm, and stronger ones can even reach the True Immortal Realm. With such a terrifying Spirit Gathering, his future is limitless.

“Come, let's go take a look!”

With that, Zhang Yun led his people toward the distance. He didn't rashly use his Divine Sense to investigate, fearing he might offend the Prodigy.

For a Prodigy of this level, finding a power to join in the Immortal Realm would be far too easy.

Their Zhang family's strength was quite average. Trying to attract him with strength would certainly be very difficult, so they could only approach it from the perspective of a personal favor.

People who ascend from the Lower Realm have almost all been filtered; their Physiques might not be exceptionally strong, but their Heart-Nature and Comprehension Ability are bound to be excellent.

Their Zhang family has been weak and struggling in Chasing Immortal City over the years. If they could recruit such a Prodigy, it would surely make things much better for the family.

In the distance.

Su Chen looked dissatisfied. The absorption speed was simply too slow; the immortal power was not enough at all.

With that, he directly crushed one hundred million Immortal Crystals.

In an instant, an extremely dense immortal power filled the air, but after only a breath, it was sucked into Su Chen's body as if sinking into an abyss.

Su Chen's aura finally began to climb.

“Something's not right!”

Su Chen's face flushed red. He had overdone it!

Although the Chaos Physique was indeed powerful, his cultivation was only at the Great Emperor Extreme Realm after all. Directly absorbing a hundred million Immortal Crystals was still a bit strenuous.

He hurriedly activated his Chaos talent to decompose and absorb this spiritual power.

After dozens of breaths, Su Chen slowly breathed a sigh of relief. The spiritual power in his body had completely transformed into immortal power, and his cultivation broke through to the Early Stage of the Mortal Immortal Realm.

Not bad!

Is this the Mortal Immortal Realm?

Su Chen clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within him. Compared to before, his strength had increased significantly again.

In an instant, a terrifying aura was released, like a primeval Vicious Beast, making people tremble with fear.

The laws in the Immortal Realm were very complete and governed by the Great Dao. Even though the aura Su Chen displayed was terrifying, the Immortal Realm was not affected in the slightest.

If he were still in the Xuantian Realm, the entire world would likely have exploded.

But Su Chen didn't dare to fully release his aura, worried about attracting the attention of some powerhouse. Although Su Chen wasn't afraid, fewer troubles were always better.

He was a cautious man; even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance of something going wrong, he was unwilling to take the risk.

He should find an opportunity to use all the cultivation he had drawn, so he would have enough power to protect himself in the Immortal Realm.

“Who is it!”

Su Chen suddenly shouted, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the distance.

Zhang Yun and the others quickly stepped out. He wore an awkward smile but glared fiercely at the middle-aged man beside him.

Damn!

Is this freaking 'Spirit Gathering' and 'someone who just ascended' that you were talking about?

Are you bullshitting me?

He was at the Middle Stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, yet the aura Su Chen released made even him feel terrified and his scalp tingle.

Therefore, this could absolutely not be someone who had just ascended.

Even if it really was a Spirit Gathering, it must be the Reincarnation and Rebirth of some powerhouse who had just ascended again.

“Senior, this lowly one was just passing by and thought I had encountered a Prodigy ascending, so I came to take a look. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me.”

Zhang Yun didn't lie; he knew that lying in front of a powerhouse like Su Chen was meaningless and might even lead to a bloody disaster.

Then he glanced at the few people beside Su Chen. Sensing their auras, his heart suddenly shook.

How can the auras of these people be so powerful!

They were clearly just Mortal Immortals who had just broken through, yet their auras were comparable to the Late Stage of the Mortal Immortal Realm.

Hiss!

They are all true Prodigies!

With this kind of oppressive aura, it would be enough even to join some major powers.

Su Chen looked at Zhang Yun, his brow furrowing slightly, and said indifferently, “I don't want to waste words. I have just ascended and need a guide.”

Zhang Yun's face stiffened. Su Chen's tone immediately convinced him that the other party was a powerhouse who had undergone Reincarnation in the Lower Realm and had now ascended back.

Damn, how did I run into this.

Now, let alone recruiting anyone, he would be overjoyed just to escape with his life.

He chuckled bitterly in his heart, but his face still wore a fawning smile. “Senior, what are you saying? It is my blessing to be of service to you.”

“Whatever Senior wants to know, I will certainly tell you everything I know.”
