The Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire were ferocious and terrifying. Masato Hori, Immortal Lucid Dawn, and other Primordial Spirits could not help but be shaken even though they were watching from afar. Fear and other emotions rose in their hearts, especially Zhenren Jingyue, Wen Nixi, and other Immortals of the Watermoon Sect who practiced the Illusionary Flower, Water and Moon Technique. They had to keep their emotions as calm as a lake, but they were also stirred up, almost breaking the Watermoon Technique and killing them.
The eight Heavenly Tribulations fell one after another, but they were all repelled by Xia Jing, who had accumulated a lot of experience. Nine huge volcanoes had risen around Zhushan, and the topography had changed. The Immortals and Grandmasters who observed the Heavenly Tribulations were in awe and awe.
"The Heavenly Tribulations all seem to have nine Heavenly Tribulations. It seems that Xia Zhenren only has one last hurdle left." Immortal Lucid Dawn, who had only read the records of the sect and heard about Xia Jing's first Heavenly Tribulation, seemed to empathize with her nervousness and anticipation. If they could comprehend something from the Heavenly Tribulation, it would be of great help to their future Heavenly Tribulations.
Masato Hori smiled with admiration and said, "Xia Zhenren is open-minded, determined, and has accumulated a lot of experience. I think the last Heavenly Tribulation will not be a problem. Hehe, we might really be able to witness the ascension to the Celestial Realm, if the ascension is really after the second Heavenly Tribulation."
Wen Nianxi did not speak. Her eyes were like water as she stared fixedly in the direction of the bamboo mountain. However, her gaze was not focused on the mighty Heavenly Lightning or the terrifying Earthly Fire that struck down. Instead, it was focused on the boundless sky above the dark clouds. There was a faint resentment and expectation.
The Five Elements Dark Sun and Earthly Fire burst out, sweeping the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire, repelling the Heavenly Tribulation in an instant.
Just as the new Primordial Spirit Immortal of the Penglai House, Yuexaing Qi, wanted to fly out of the formation to help Grandmaster Xia Jing, who was in a weak state after the Heavenly Tribulation, a clear and melodious bell rang, spreading for millions of miles. They were all in a trance, as if the world had slowed down for a moment.
"It's as if time has changed!" In a daze, this thought emerged in the hearts of Daoist Vastsun, Daoist Cleanmoon, and the others, and they were extremely astonished. "It can actually interfere with time, this is simply unheard of!"
"It's really Ascension." Wen Nixi's charming and beautiful voice sounded with a touch of melancholy and Immortal Immortal.
The Perfected Masters and Grandmasters came to a sudden realization. Could this bell be the phenomenon of ascension?!
Along with Wen Nianxi's words sounding out, the sound of the bell resounded out once more, and above the dispersing dark clouds, a space that covered an area of 500km suddenly split open. The space within it was dim and dim, yet it carried an aura of eternity, supremacy, and the circulation of creation. Merely sensing it caused Daoist Vastsun, Wen Nianxi, and the others to feel indescribable reverence and worship, and they utterly didn't dare have the slightest thought of disrespecting it. It was as if they were facing the heavens and the earth, facing the sun and moon, and facing the river of time.
Zhenren Jingyue blurted out, "This feeling is very similar to looking at the Netherworld transformed from the ancient tomb of the wild beast, but it's more solemn, more lofty, and more irresistible. Is this the Immortal Realm?!" Her emotions almost dissipated due to the fluctuation of the water moon.
"The Immortal Realm …" Countless sighs sounded around them.
The bell rang for the third time. From this dark space, a misty clear light scattered, and the Immortal Qi lingered, enveloping Xia Jing and the whole of Zhushan. In the clear light, countless heavenly flowers, white lotuses, and golden lotuses bloomed and floated down. The fragrance was pleasant, and there was a beautiful celestial voice singing. There were goddesses and heavenly soldiers in golden armor appearing. It was a magnificent, grand, and sacred scene.
The bell rang one after another. The shaking of the mind and the feeling of time trembling became more and more obvious.
When the eleventh clear ring of the bell resounded, Wen Nianxi and the others actually saw numerous ripples appear and spread out. They weren't ripples of water, but they were ripples of time!
Witnessing the whole scene, the Masters nearby were speechless. There was only an indescribable shock that filled their hearts.
Along with this bell, countless noble purple lightning appeared in mid-air around Xia Jing, who was like the Lord of Thunder and Lightning. They surrounded her and escorted her up. The heavenly flowers and golden lotuses floated down more and more frequently, and the celestial voice singing became more ethereal and sacred.
Dong ~!
The twelfth ring of the bell rang out. It was clear and beautiful, and its rhythm lasted for a long time. The rippling of time disappeared, and Xia Jing, whose figure was becoming smaller and smaller, rushed into the darkness. The heavenly flowers scattered, and the celestial music stopped. The goddess and the heavenly soldier followed Xia Jing and flew in.
The misty clear light retracted, and the darkness closed. Only the lingering sound of the bell lingered in their hearts.
"So there really is Ascension!" In shock, Masato Hori, Wen Nixi, and the others exclaimed at the same time. They were looking forward to it.
When Zhushan Laozu ascended, most cultivators did not witness it. In addition, there was no record of him passing the Heavenly Tribulation. Therefore, there was still a trace of doubt in everyone's hearts. It was not until they saw Xia Jing Xia Zhenren passing the Heavenly Tribulation twice and witnessed her ascension that they no longer had any doubts. They leisurely looked forward to it. "Maybe when I reach the Celestial Realm, the Heavenly Tribulation and the Decay Tribulation will be much easier. I'm afraid that Zhushan Laozu deliberately did not say everything in order to choose a disciple, so that everyone would retreat."
For a moment, many cultivators had the idea of walking on the orthodox Taoism path. Even Masato Hori and Wen Nixi had the idea of reincarnation again.
"But now that the Netherworld has been formed, private reincarnation is a big deal that will not be tolerated. Even the King Of Hell with the Three-tribulation Yang God will personally take action. Even the Penglai House's Xia Zhenren with the Three-tribulation Magic Weapon, can only secretly reincarnate a few times."
They could not decide whether to enjoy tens of thousands of years and then sit and wait for death, or to take the risk.
…
Inside Zhushan's Penglai House, Primordial Spirit Immortal Yuexaing Qi watched Patriarch Xia Jing's ascension to heaven. He was stunned for a moment and sighed, "So there really is such a thing as ascension."
He had once asked Patriarch Xia Jing about this, but she had only smiled and said nothing. She only said that without the permission of Patriarch Zhushan, she could not privately disclose these things. Anyway, it was not the ascension that he had imagined, but now it seemed that it was the ascension that he had imagined!
But just as he finished sighing, there was a high and mighty, ethereal aura suddenly descended, and countless information was injected into his Primordial Spirit.
Yuexaing Qi immediately bowed down, "Disciple pays respect to Patriarch."
At the same time, he had a sudden realization. It turned out that this ascension was single-handedly arranged by Patriarch Zhushan, and it did not take much effort. It turned out that the so-called Celestial Realm was Yu Yutian. However, it was a Boundless World created by the Master of Creation, and it was suppressed by the Lord Of Heaven, so it was fine to treat it as the Celestial Realm.
The current situation and atmosphere were suitable for the development of the sect in the Seven Immortals Great World, and even made the cultivation world here prosperous. It could be used as a backup place for Penglai in the future if things did not go well.
From the information, Yuexaing Qi had a rough idea of the ins and outs, and the situation of the Void Universe.
A dark yellow Celestial Talisman floated in front of Yuexaing Qi, "Xia Jing took away the Earth-sinking Seal, and the lower house lost the item to suppress the Celestial Array Core, so I made this Nine Qi Wu Ji Celestial Talisman."
Yuexaing Qi said gratefully, "Thank you, Patriarch. With it, I can at least handle the reincarnation in the sect." What he was most worried about was that without the Earth-sinking Seal, the disciples who had made great contributions in the future would not be able to reincarnate even if they wanted to.
"Actually, you don't have to go through so much trouble. I'll write a talisman order, and you can bring it to pay a visit to the King Of Hell here in the Nether World," Shi Xuan said with a smile.
The aura in the air gathered and changed from virtual to real, and condensed into an apricot-yellow talisman paper. Then, purple lightning flashed on it, and a few seal characters were written on it from time to time. Finally, it was signed, "Penglai Tianxuan True Monarch".
Yuexaing Qi felt that this talisman order seemed to have a faint aura of eternity and creation. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Patriarch."
"Alright, after you pass the second Heavenly Tribulation, I'll bring you to Yu Yutian." Shi Xuan said a few words of expectation, and left a method of cross-realm communication on him. Then, his aura dispersed and he disappeared without a trace.
…
Wild Beast Tomb, inside the Nether World.
The King Of Hell was looking at his underling, the Magistrate, and snorted coldly, "Xia Jing has ascended? Heh, ascended, what are you trying to do by pretending to be mysterious! "
"Reporting to the Son of Heaven, it is said that Xia Jing has also taken the Earth-sinking Seal away. Hehe, now Penglai House will no longer be able to escape reincarnation and reincarnate on their own!" The Magistrate was dissatisfied with the fact that in this extremely remote place in the universe, there was actually someone who dared to go against the Nether World, against the King Of Hell, and himself.
The King Of Hell also laughed loudly, "After so many years of suffocation, I can finally let out a breath. This Son of Heaven will send all the disciples of Penglai House who died in the past five hundred years into the Beast Path, Hell Path, and Hungry Ghost Path! As a warning to others! "
"Son of Heaven, don't be too ruthless. That Zhushan Laozu is very mysterious. He might even be the Perfected One who snatched the key to the Nether World from the hands of the Eighth Level." The Magistrate advised solemnly. Back then, this Nether World was first connected to the Emperor of Fengdu, and then stabilized to the first level where he was. Then, ghosts like him were lucky enough to be dispatched by the Giant Spirit Ghostly Lord, and came out to become a feudal lord.
The King Of Hell muttered to himself for a while, and then restrained some of his venting. Just as he was about to speak, a Ghost Marshal came to report, "Reporting to the Son of Heaven, Penglai House's Primordial Spirit Perfected One, Yuexaing Qi, wishes to see you."
"Haha, at least the Penglai House knows what's good for them, and knows to come pay their respects to this Son of Heaven at the first opportunity. Be humble, and just enter the cycle of reincarnation normally in the future. Let him in." The King Of Hell was quite approving.
In just a moment, the white-robed, uninhibited Yuexaing Qi walked in, holding an apricot-yellow talisman-like object. "I pay my respects to the King Of Hell. This time, my sect's Zhushan Patriarch has asked I to bring his personal handwritten talisman order to pay my respects."
The expressions of the King Of Hell and the Magistrate changed slightly. It didn't seem like what they thought. The King Of Hell frowned slightly and said, "Bring it up."
The moment the Magistrate received the talisman order, his expression changed greatly, and he almost lost his grip. It was as though he was holding a huge mountain.
"It's the aura of the Lord Of Heaven, at least the aura of the Second Tribulation Lord Of Heaven, who can open up a Small Chiliocosm!" When he presented the talisman order to the King Of Hell, his voice was trembling.
The King Of Hell looked at the purple thunder pattern on the apricot-yellow talisman order, and the signature of "Penglai Immortal Tianxuan". He felt the aura of creation, and his face became dignified and panicked. Fortunately, although he was an Imperial Lord, he also had the cultivation of the Yin God Venerable. He quickly calmed down and forced a smile.
"The talisman order of the Lord Of Heaven has arrived, and I will definitely obey it. Zhenren, please send my regards to the Immortal Tianxuan on my behalf."
The Nine Nether World could only send Three-tribulation Yang Gods outside. How could they dare to provoke a powerful figure like the Lord Of Heaven?
Yuexaing Qi was shocked by the change of attitude. A talisman order written by the Patriarch was so powerful?! The majesty of the Lord Of Heaven was indeed extraordinary. However, seeing the attitude of the King Of Hell, he smiled and said a few humble words. As for the matter of reincarnation, he didn't need to say anything.
The Magistrate sent Yuexaing Qi away and returned to the main hall, only to see the King Of Hell pick up the talisman order again. The expression on his face changed again. Shock, astonishment, and joy intertwined. The table in front of him was pushed down by his aura.
"The Emperor?"
The King Of Hell's lips trembled slightly. "There, there is a trace of the aura of the Emperor in it!"
