197: Transcending Tribulation to Become an Immortal

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, your Divine Soul repair progress has reached 100%. Would you like to Undergo Tribulation for Immortal Ascension and reconstruct your Immortal body?"

The System's voice rang out.

This brought a look of joy to Su Quan in the Chaos space.

He finally reaped enough!

Moreover, looking at the situation, it seemed he had more than enough. As expected of the woman destined to be the chosen protagonist, the regret value she contributed was more than the other three women combined.

"Undergo Tribulation!"

Su Quan didn't hesitate.

Under the shadow of the Heavenly Emperor and the terrifying forces of the Heavenly Court, it was impossible to ascend normally via the Ascending Immortal Platform. Therefore, the only way to become an Immortal was to Undergo Tribulation.

"Buzz—"

In the Chaos Void Realm, where time and space were unknown.

Terrifying tribulation clouds appeared above Su Quan's head.

The tribulation clouds were as black as ink, with golden lightning snakes visible coiling within them. Their scope continuously expanded, stretching endlessly, as if an entire world was inverted and pressing down.

"Nine Heavens, black tribulation clouds!"

The larger the area of the tribulation clouds and the darker their color, the more terrifying the Lightning Tribulation.

Su Quan's tribulation clouds today were unprecedented throughout the ages.

"A villain's fate is indeed not favored by the world's will!"

Su Quan gave a self-deprecating smile.

Just then, the first golden lightning bolt tore through the black curtain and struck Su Quan's Divine Soul.

Crack!

Su Quan's gilded Divine Soul trembled slightly. Not only did it show no signs of shattering, but it became even brighter and more solid.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The tribulation clouds were enraged.

Golden lightning bolts, like a continuous rain curtain, descended mightily upon Su Quan's Divine Soul, carrying terrifying rules and will of destruction.

In just a moment, Su Quan's Divine Soul was at the center of a golden sea of lightning.

The sea of lightning churned with monstrous waves, transforming into illusory lightning Dragons, attempting to engulf him, but Su Quan stood firm like an unyielding, isolated reef.

Half an hour passed.

The tribulation clouds seemed to have grown tired of striking, and sensing they couldn't harm Su Quan, they gradually dissipated with extreme reluctance.

"It seems the higher the Realm, the less favored one is. I must be careful of the Heavenly Dao's will when I go to the Immortal Realm in the future!"

Su Quan gazed at the sky above, a thoughtful expression on his face.

The mortal world has a world will, but compared to the Immortal Realm's world will, it is pitifully weak.

From the Lightning Tribulation that just descended, he could clearly feel how much the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Dao will detested him.

Just then, a terrifying suction force descended. Su Quan was powerless to resist, feeling only a dizzying spin and a dazed Divine Soul. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself above a vast, desolate black land.

"This is..."

Pure and surging Immortal Qi essence gathered towards him.

Reconstructing an Immortal body?

This is the Immortal Realm!

Su Quan was somewhat taken aback. Normally, after Undergoing Tribulation, there would be at least ten years of recuperation before being guided to the Immortal Realm. How was he transferred here immediately after Undergoing Tribulation?

Was it because he was in the Chaos Void Realm? Or was the Immortal Realm's will intentionally acting against him?

However, none of that mattered now!

Because an immortal binding rope broke through the Void Realm. It was like a cunning and vicious venomous snake, and no matter how Su Quan dodged, it accurately coiled around his neck and then suddenly tightened.

"What the f***..."

Su Quan was choked speechless.

"Hehe, good luck, another Immortal Slave caught!"

The woman let out a joyful laugh, then waved her sleeve. Ignoring the young man's resistance, she collected him into her sleeve and then transformed into a streak of light, soaring towards the horizon... "Hey, newcomer, state your name and where you're from!"

A richly dressed old woman sat above, her Grand Unity Golden Immortal aura fully displayed, enveloping this entire world.

Below, dozens of ordinary Immortals lined up in a long queue.

Their clothes were tattered, and their faces were filled with fear and dread. Any slight misstep would invite a vicious whip from the guards.

"Reporting to Senior Immortal, this junior's name is Zhang Shuya, from the Ancient Demon Great World. My master is Immortal Meng Mei, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, stationed in Qijia Dragon City in the Southern Domain. Could you please make things convenient for me?"

The Immortal at the very front plastered on a smile, somewhat fawningly handing over a spatial ring.

The old woman took the ring, casually weighed it in her hand, and gave a sneering smile: "What kind of Immortal Meng Mei? I'll warn you Immortal Slaves again: since you've entered my Tian Yuan Lin Family, you must abide by the Lin Family's rules. If anyone has any ulterior motives, or is disobedient and tries to run, then I don't mind striking you down!"

Her words were full of murderous intent, chilling to the bone.

"Mine Slave number 2654493, take them to Xuan-rank Third Mine Cave!"

"Next!"

"Reporting to Senior Immortal, this junior's name is Chu Yimei,..."

Soon, it was Su Quan's turn, his hair disheveled, his face unclear.

"Reporting to Senior Immortal, this junior's name is Su Tian, from the Shenyou Great World,..."

"Mine Slave number 2654513, take them to Di-rank Ninth Mine Cave!"

A Golden Immortal guard walked over, escorting Su Quan outside, while also placing a bracelet made of mysterious jade marrow on his hand.

"This is your identity token. Remember not to damage or remove it, otherwise you'll be considered a deserter and killed!"

"I understand!"

Su Quan sighed.

When a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water can choke them.

He had probably figured out the current situation.

He was currently in the territory of the Tian Yuan Lin Family, a major power with a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal overseeing it.

They occupied an entire top-grade immortal crystal mine vein, and by extensively capturing Loose Cultivators who ascended after Undergoing Tribulation to serve as Mine Slaves, they mined Immortal crystal resources.

"There, the Di-rank mine cave is just ahead."

"Remember, you must mine 100 top-grade immortal crystals every seven days. More will be rewarded, less will be punished."

"Also, never think about escaping. Once caught, you will surely die. Once you've worked for my Lin Family for a million years, you will naturally be set free."

A million years?

Su Quan pouted.

The Lifespan of ordinary Immortals might not even reach a million years. This was a rhythm of dying of old age in the mine cave.

He picked up the bamboo basket with its carved number and plunged into the Immortal crystal mine cave.

Legend has it that Immortal crystals are formed from various animals, plants, and even the bodies of deceased Immortals, which are buried deep underground by geological movements and then undergo millions of years of "crystallization."

Such harsh and complex formation conditions cause Immortal crystals to be buried deep within the crust, and the better the quality of the Immortal crystal, the deeper it is buried.

"Already descended 100,000 meters, and still no end?"

Su Quan's face was grim as he rapidly descended in the dark mine cave, only able to focus his Immortal Power into his eyes to barely see.

As he delved deeper, the geomagnetic field acting on his body grew stronger.

The geomagnetic field mostly formed from the residual Divine Soul pressure of deceased Immortals, animals, and plants. It was also the biggest obstacle to mining Immortal crystals, and even with Su Quan's physique, he felt somewhat overwhelmed.

"Allowed to go up and report once every seven days. If one can't endure seven days, they will die in the mine cave!"

Enlightenment flashed through Su Quan's mind.

Just then, he reached a terrifying depth of one million meters, finally stepping onto soft, damp soil.

And in the darkness, a woman's coarse laugh came.

"Oh, another sister has arrived. Welcome to Di-rank Ninth Mine Cave."

"Let's get acquainted, I'm your boss, Jiang Sui!"
