150: Ascension is a scam, Baofan is a brother
Standing below the altar, Jiang Yi could keenly sense a faint spatial fluctuation in the sky above the high platform.
It was as if he could punch through it with a single blow!
It bore some resemblance to the Sword Tomb of the Sword King Pavilion.
A True King of the Qingyang Sect stepped forward, took a deep breath, and then.
He roared, his voice echoing through the Nine Heavens and shaking the entire mountain gate—
“Ascension Ceremony… begins!”
The members of the Qingyang Sect bowed in unison, almost speaking at the same time!
“Respectfully seeing off Grand Elder on his Ascension!”
“Respectfully seeing off Grand Elder on his Ascension!”
“Respectfully seeing off Grand Elder on his Ascension!”
“Hahaha!”
“You all should Cultivate diligently; I hope you can Ascend like me in the future.
This old man will be waiting for you in the Upper Realm!”
The Grand Elder laughed heartily, his magical power surging, manifesting a golden sun.
He struck out with a palm, and a golden sun soared into the sky!
It plunged into the sky above!
“Rumble!!!”
Under that single palm, the sky was directly pierced, and a large black passage appeared.
The spatial fluctuations grew increasingly intense!
An inexplicable, vast aura was rapidly descending, beginning to connect from another realm to this one.
In an instant!
The heavens and earth trembled, rumbling with a mighty roar!
A five-colored ray of light, like a colossal pillar, descended, dazzling and indescribable.
It also carried wisps of Spiritual Qi!
Pervading all directions!
Extremely pure!
It was simply incomparable to anything in this world!
Jiang Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly!
He wanted to peer through the five-colored passage and catch a glimpse of what the other world looked like in advance.
However—
He only perceived a hazy, misty vapor!
Yet, he vaguely seemed to see ancient, orderly palaces.
Immortal mountains and ancient peaks stood in rows, with soaring waterfalls and turbulent rivers converging!
Amidst them, birds soared in the sky, their calls clear and melodious, while exotic beasts roamed freely, at ease!
What a wondrous scene of an immortal realm!
Merely bathing in the five-colored light, the Grand Elder already wore an expression of deep intoxication.
As if he would sink into it, unable to extricate himself!
Looking at the end of the passage, his eyes gleamed!
Revealing intense longing and yearning!
That seemed to be his pursuit!
He could no longer wait, feeling somewhat impatient, stirring with anticipation.
So he completely opened his mind, allowing the light to envelop him.
He felt his body gradually lighten!
Weightless!
All the flesh and blood in his body were active, exuding joy, and his previously stagnant cultivation level also began to loosen.
Subtly advancing.
It felt as if, with just a little more cultivation, he could break through to the next major realm!
Truly worthy of being the Upper Realm!
The wonders of the Upper Realm are beyond words!
“Hahaha, this old man departs!”
As if remembering something, the Grand Elder turned back again, looking at Jiang Yi.
Laughing heartily,
“Little friend, this old man will go ahead first!”
“If, in the future, little friend has thoughts of Ascension, you may also come to my sect and use this place to Ascend to the Upper Realm.”
“Perhaps then, we might even meet again!”
No sooner had he spoken!
The five-colored light intensified!
Enveloping his entire being, he transformed into a rainbow and rushed into the passage.
Jiang Yi’s Primordial Spirit stirred slightly!
As if sensing something, he sent out a wisp of Divine Sense into the passage.
He perceived the other side of the passage!
It was originally silent!
But just as the Grand Elder Ascended, there was suddenly activity.
“Hmm?!!!”
“This light, could it be that someone in that small Lower Realm is Ascending?”
“Ascension?”
“Someone from the Lower Realm is coming up?”
“Interesting, interesting!”
“Perfect timing, this Immortal Master still lacks a servant to attend to his Gnu.”
“You’re it!”
“Heheheh!”
“Senior Brother, why not let him be mine?”
“Recently, I have been refining a handy treasure banner and happen to be missing a main artifact spirit.
I heard that those who Ascend from the Lower Realm!
All possess extraordinary Luck!
If I can extract his soul and refine it into my main artifact spirit.
I imagine it could greatly enhance the quality of the treasure banner and shorten the refining time…”
“Someone else from the Lower Realm is coming up?”
“They say that those who can Ascend from the Lower Realm are all famous figures there!”
“So what?”
“Once they arrive in the Upper Realm, they are just weak insects, aren’t they at our mercy?”
“They even dare to speak of pursuing the Great Dao of Longevity and embarking on the path of Cultivation!”
“Hahaha…”
“Ascenders, utterly ridiculous!”
“Look, he’s coming up! He’s coming up!”
“Whoever catches him first, he will be theirs…”
After a faint scream, the five-colored light dissipated.
The passage also began to close again!
The wind was gentle, the clouds light, the sun shone brightly, and everything returned to its original tranquility.
Jiang Yi retracted his Divine Sense!
The corner of his eye twitched slightly, and he sighed inwardly.
It seems, this Fellow Daoist—
Is in grave danger!
Indeed, there are no worst people, only worse!
Looking at it this way!
This Ascension is a scam!
Fortunately, he wasn't tempted to go along, otherwise, he would have become a servant too?
That would still be a bit better!
If he became an artifact spirit, just thinking about it made him feel unwell.
What?!!!
He Ascended, and before he could even try to Cultivate, he was already ‘brothers’ in the Myriad Soul Banner!
Jiang Yi glanced around!
Everyone was quite excited, especially those True Kings, whose eyes were gleaming.
Next!
It is likely that everyone in the Qingyang Sect will Cultivate with renewed vigor.
Jiang Yi did not speak much, nor would he expose the so-called Ascension scam.
Moreover, even if he did, they might not believe him!
Ascending to the Upper Realm!
That is the ultimate dream of every martial practitioner!
This concept, formed over thousands, even tens of thousands of years, was already deeply ingrained.
How could it be changed by a few words from him!
Since that is the case, let this “beautiful” lie continue.
Unlike his previous life!
What about being unable to change the world, so one must adapt to it?
This world is different!
If he cannot change their minds, then he will strive to overturn this world.
And mold this world into his own shape!
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Yi’s expression returned to calm as he spoke to Nangong Yao!
Immediately, he mounted his horse!
He patted the Golden Horned Horse, signaling it to leave quickly!
As for the Qingyang Sect’s celebration, he had no intention of participating.
Consider it a sign of respect for that Grand Elder!
To be honest!
He actually felt quite good about that old man.
However, facing such an outcome!
He was also powerless!
He only hoped he could become a servant!
If he was even luckier and could escape, that would be even better.
In that case!
Perhaps they might still have a day to meet again!
“It seems you’ve already noticed!”
“How is it?”
“This Immortal Maiden was right, wasn’t she!”
Nangong Yao narrowed her large eyes, staring at Jiang Yi!
In the end, she still detected a slight change in his expression!
Pouting her cherry-like lips, she hummed!
