381: Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor

"Have you heard of the Ascension Assembly?"

While Little Fatty Bai was refining a Medicinal Pill, he suddenly heard the voice of his Senior Sister from beside him. Their group of Personal Disciples was all on the lawn outside.

Everyone basically had their own things to do.

Su Yao had gone out for a trip, saying she wanted to travel, and after returning, she brought back this piece of news.

"What is the Ascension Assembly?"

Everyone was a bit puzzled.

"It is a method used by the Heavenly Court to select those Powerhouses."

"As long as you participate in this Ascension Assembly and achieve an excellent ranking, you can ascend to the Heavenly Court. From then on, you will leave your name in the Heavenly Court and hold a position there. Even if you do nothing, you will still enjoy the resources provided by the Heavenly Court regularly."

Su Yao excitedly shook the book in her hand; it had records of this on it.

"The Ascension Assembly is held every thousand years. This is a grand event that only happens once in a millennium. I think we should participate in it too."

Su Yao's words caused everyone present to fall into deep thought.

Twenty-five years had passed since their Revered Master went into seclusion, and their Cultivation and Realm had now reached the Peak Immortal Venerable.

There was still no movement from their Revered Master.

"I also feel a bit bored lately. Why don't we go and take a look? Anyway, it's just a competition to let them know how powerful we are. As for whether we should join them? Of course, the answer is no."

A smile curled the corners of Du Xian's mouth. They needed an opportunity to make a Breakthrough to Immortal King now.

Clearly, judging by their current state, they needed external help.

This kind of external help did not refer to various resources; after all, they had an inexhaustible supply of those usually.

What they needed now was a large amount of combat to help them break free from their current Bottleneck period.

"Count me in, Senior Sister. I will go with you when the time comes!"

Little Fatty Bai excitedly raised his hand, and the others also smiled and nodded.

"Then let's all go together. It is said that we will have to go to the Heavenly Court to compete, and young talents from all over the world will be heading there."

"There is still half a year left until it begins."

Su Yao counted on her fingers, then prepared to go back to her Immortal Cave for another period of seclusion to see if she could gain anything more. Everyone else did the same.

Half a year later, everyone emerged from seclusion. Their aura had not changed at all. They flew towards the sky at an extremely fast speed and then followed the guidance to the current location of the Heavenly Court.

It should be known that the Heavenly Court was not a fixed place but was built upon a special kind of cloud, allowing it to drift at any time.

Most of the time, the Heavenly Court would drift randomly in the sky, generally following the direction of the wind.

Without guidance, it would likely be difficult to find.

Just as they left, they saw a fiery red figure on the horizon rushing directly into the Heavenly Profound Sect. Holding a Token, he was not affected by the Formation and came directly outside the Immortal Cave where Li Haotian was in seclusion.

Li Haotian slowly walked out of the Immortal Cave. A wisp of black flame suddenly rose from his fingertip, which he then struck into Nezha's body.

In an instant, a bug inside Nezha's body let out a sharp, miserable shriek.

At first, this bug still wanted to absorb all of this flame, just like it had absorbed the Samadhi True Fire before.

After absorbing just one mouthful into its belly, it discovered that its internal organs were starting to burn, and it immediately wailed in pain.

Nezha was also feeling extremely uncomfortable. Such flames were also burning wildly inside his body, but he knew clearly that if this bug did not die, he would never have a future and would be reduced to a Puppet of the Heavenly Court for the rest of his life.

Therefore, even if he had to bet his life, he was determined to kill the bug inside him. After all, he was a ruthless person who dared to take a knife and slice himself alive, so he could endure this kind of pain.

Su Zhe looked at the other's painful expression and couldn't help but frown. He then increased the intensity of the fire, intending to burn the bug to death as soon as possible, which would also shorten the duration of the other's pain.

The bug struggled continuously, but in the end, it was completely burned away by this black flame.

Nezha's body was riddled with holes from the burning. Su Zhe immediately threw a few Medicinal Pills into his mouth. In an instant, the immense medicinal power rampaged through his body, repairing all the damaged organs and various parts of his Physical Body and Meridians.

A look of surprise appeared on Nezha's face. His whole body had long been soaked in sweat; the near-despairing pain just now had made him feel as if he could neither live nor die.

But fortunately, he managed to endure it. There were no longer any shackles inside his body, and no one was continuing to give him a hard time. Now, if he wanted to make a Breakthrough, he could do it with just a single thought.

"May I use your Sect to make a Breakthrough?"

Su Zhe nodded, then tossed the Token in his hand upward. In an instant, a great Formation formed, directly covering the sky. Even if there was a Heavenly Tribulation, it would appear within the Sect and would not be known to the outside world.

Nezha immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, steadying his mind. His whole body emitted intense flames. The next instant, his body slowly floated up, heading towards the sky. A large amount of black clouds gathered in the sky, and bolts of lightning began to appear, striking Nezha.

All the Disciples looked up at the sky with expressions of confusion on their faces. They watched as a fiery red figure rushed into the thunderclouds; it was the first time everyone knew that there was actually someone who Undergoing Tribulation like this.

Nezha held his Fire-Tipped Spear and withstood the Heavenly Tribulation head-on. After a total of twelve bolts of lightning, he finally let out a long sigh of relief. His aura reached its Peak in that instant. Below, Erlang Shen, Monkey King, Pigsy, and the others all looked up at Nezha in the sky and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"So many years have passed, and Nezha has successfully joined the ranks of the Immortal Emperor, while Old Sun must also hurry up!"

Monkey King's current Cultivation was only at the Peak Immortal King; he simply couldn't keep up with the other, and it would take some time before he could make a Breakthrough.

"Hehe, Senior Brother, your Cultivate speed is already very fast. At least Old Pig is definitely no match for you."

Pigsy was flattering Erlang Shen on the side, watching the scene before him with mixed feelings, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Nezha laughed heartily in the air. He had endured for so many years, and now he could finally make a Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Realm without any burden!

It should be known that before this, when he received the news that the other had made a Breakthrough to Immortal King, he was extremely excited.

As early as more than ten years ago, Li Haotian had already successfully made a Breakthrough.

With such dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, coupled with a large amount of resources and a Realm without any Bottleneck, it was hard for him not to make a Breakthrough. It was just that Nezha needed some time to prepare.

He could not just suddenly make a Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Realm for no reason. Over these years, he had constantly been asking for resources and had made his presence known to all parties. Basically, everyone knew that he was preparing to make a Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor now, which also put the Heavenly Court at ease.
