312: Chapter 312 The Empress Makes Her Appearance

Many Tribulation Transcendence Cultivators at the Perfection stage could no longer hide the joy on their faces.

Even Ye Mo, who was not far away, felt that Xu Li was not lying.

"That's not right. Although Xu Li's words sound flawless, if a real Immortal King wanted to see the Leader of Fire Burning Sect, why would he send so many people?"

"Furthermore, if there really were an Immortal King constantly watching the Lower Realm, the one the Immortal King would favor should be the person who opened the stone gate. These people don't even know who opened the stone gate, so how can they claim the Immortal King has been watching the Lower Realm?"

Thinking of this, Ye Mo realized that these people could not possibly have been sent by an Immortal King.

As for what their purpose was, Ye Mo was not yet clear.

But it should be related to the person who opened the stone gate.

Just as Ye Mo was lost in thought, a Tribulation Transcendence Cultivator from the Huofen Sect, who was a Personal Disciple of Sect Master Luo Tian, appeared.

He was also a clansman of Suo Ruoyan.

Therefore, ever since stepping onto the Tongtian Road, he had been searching for Ye Mo.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that something was off about where Ye Mo was hiding.

Ye Mo's stealth technique was still very powerful.

Generally, it was very difficult to detect.

But this person's investigation was simply too meticulous; furthermore, just now, Ye Mo had unconsciously shaken his head while lost in thought.

This allowed him to spot a clue.

Of course, he wasn't entirely sure if Ye Mo was hiding there, so he unleashed tens of thousands of sword rain attacks toward Ye Mo's position.

Ye Mo's expression changed slightly, but he didn't make any movements. The tens of thousands of sword rain attacks barely flew over his head.

"Huang Yi, what is it?" Sect Master Luo Tian asked, looking at his Disciple.

"Oh, it's nothing. I might have just seen things."

Huang Yi looked toward Ye Mo's direction, lost in thought.

He did not continue to probe, because at this moment, Xu Li had already returned.

And he had also brought back five of the Elders.

The five elderly Tribulation Transcendence Cultivators at the Perfection stage were full of excitement. Before the people from the Eight Great Sects could ask, they immediately said, "There really is an Ascension Pool! Elder Lu and the others have already ascended to the Immortal Realm!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was thrilled.

Even Sect Master Shui Mingjie's body trembled slightly. He suppressed his excitement and, remaining somewhat rational, finally said, "Take out your tokens!"

The five of them took out their tokens without hesitation.

They infused their Primordial Spirit power into them, and the five tokens immediately radiated an aura unique to them.

Tokens cannot be faked.

Therefore, these five people could not be imposters.

As for the possibility of them being coerced, that was even less likely. They were all about to die, and there were five of them; it was impossible for them to be coerced by someone else simultaneously.

"It has been two hundred thousand years, the efforts of twenty whole generations! Today, we have finally achieved it—we have stepped onto the path to the Immortal Realm!"

Many of the Elders were moved to tears.

Firstly, they could finally survive, and secondly, the Water Moon Realm would be completely renewed.

Having a path to Ascension is something any Cultivator yearns for immensely.

"Let's go, everyone! Today, we shall ascend together!"

The Leader of Fire Burning Sect shouted loudly.

As the person favored by the Immortal King, he had to take the lead.

The Leader of Fire Burning Sect stepped out of the light barrier first, and the others cooperated, voluntarily yielding that position.

The only thing everyone didn't know was that as the Leader of Fire Burning Sect was about to step out of the light barrier.

Xu Li's mouth involuntarily curled up slightly, and his lips moved.

It was as if he was saying the words 'do it.'

However, those big shots at the Perfection stage of Undergoing Tribulation were simply too excited and didn't notice at all.

The moment they stepped out of the light barrier.

On the five treasure ships, fifty thousand Tribulation Transcendence Cultivators flashed simultaneously, flying toward the people of the Eight Great Sects.

"Immortal Guide, what is the meaning of this?"

Sect Master Shui Mingjie looked incredulous.

There was a clear look of panic on his face.

"Don't be nervous. I was worried that accidents might occur on the way, so I am escorting you there," Xu Li said indifferently.

"There's still danger?"

Everyone was not stupid; they could see that the expression on Xu Li's face right now was completely different from before.

"Of course, because you are the accidents, haha."

Xu Li no longer hid it and suddenly burst into loud laughter. Then, he turned around and bowed respectfully toward the Pavilion on the treasure ship, saying, "Welcome, Empress!"

A moment later, a bewitchingly beautiful woman slowly walked out from the Pavilion.

The woman's cultivation base did not appear high, only at the Late Stage of Void Refining.

Her appearance was stunningly beautiful, but it wasn't just a simple beauty; it was mainly bewitching, making one unable to help but fall into it after just one glance.

Ye Mo had also been paying attention to this side, but the distance was a bit far, and he couldn't initiate character investigation.

"You are the Leader of Fire Burning Sect. I am very curious: you have already cultivated to the Perfection stage of Undergoing Tribulation, so why have you only opened the Realm Gate now? Could it be that you have never entered the Tongtian Road before?"

The woman said indifferently.

"What Realm Gate? I don't know about that." The Leader of Fire Burning Sect was dumbfounded, completely failing to understand what the other party meant.

"Hmph, no need to play dumb. Let me see what attribute your Chaos Qi has!"

The woman snorted coldly.

The next second, she reached out, and a huge handprint immediately grabbed toward the Leader of Fire Burning Sect.

"What is this? Impossible!"

Everyone widened their eyes.

Because they discovered that this handprint was actually manifested from Chaos Qi.

How could anyone possibly control Chaos Qi?

And what made them see something even more incredible was that this Chaos Qi did not have violent power, nor did it cause a sense of fear; instead, it gave people the illusion that they wanted to submit.

No, it was not an illusion!

When the Leader of Fire Burning Sect saw the handprint attacking him, he had absolutely no thought of wanting to resist; at this moment, he only wanted to prostrate and bow.

At this moment, the woman before him was the existence of a deity to him.

"Father!"

Sect Master Luo Tian suddenly shouted loudly.

He suppressed the trembling in his heart and instantly expanded his Domain.

Several Elders of the Huofen Sect immediately attacked one after another.

The Leader of Fire Burning Sect immediately became a bit clearer.

But their Domains were still too weak and could not block this handprint at all.

"Go! Go back!!!"

The Leader of Fire Burning Sect shouted.

The moment the handprint appeared, he knew that the previous five people had lied; there was no Ascension Pool at all.

"Father, if we are to leave, I must take you back with me!" Sect Master Luo Tian looked up to the sky in a rage, his entire body's Domain surging out wildly.

"Do you want the Huofen Sect to perish right here? Take your Sect Master and get back!!!"

The Leader of Fire Burning Sect knew he couldn't hold on much longer. He unleashed all his Immortal power, bound Sect Master Luo Tian, and violently dragged him toward the stone gate.

At this moment, countless Divine Abilities struck.

Carrying endless unwillingness, Sect Master Luo Tian could only return to the light barrier first.

Boom--

The Leader of Fire Burning Sect was grabbed by the handprint.

The handprint dissipated, and the Chaos Qi entered his body. A moment later, the Leader of Fire Burning Sect stood motionless on the spot, looking at the woman with a fanatical expression.

"It's not you..."

The woman's delicate brows immediately furrowed.

"Realm Master, it is indeed not me. I don't know who you heard that from?" The Leader of Fire Burning Sect said with a respectful face.

"Oh, a Body Integration Cultivator said it. He said it was you who opened the Realm Gate," the woman said.

"A Body Integration Cultivator? Could it be Ye Mo?"

The Leader of Fire Burning Sect turned to look inside the light barrier and said coldly, "Sect Master Luo Tian, Ye Mo is not dead yet. Immediately capture Ye Mo and bring him to me!"

The Leader of Fire Burning Sect didn't even know why this woman wanted to find the person who opened the stone gate.

But he did not hesitate at all.

Everyone was astonished to see the transformation of the Leader of Fire Burning Sect.

Sect Master Luo Tian remained silent. A moment later, he looked at the woman and said coldly, "If I capture Ye Mo, can you release my father?"

"Of course you can. I only want the person who opened the stone gate," the woman said indifferently.

"Fine." Sect Master Luo Tian nodded heavily.

At this moment, Sect Master Luo Tian's Disciple, Huang Yi, suddenly sent a voice transmission to Sect Master Luo Tian...
