Chapter 325 Lock
Previously, the path to ascension was sealed, and in Shi Nian's world, accumulated over tens of thousands of years, apart from those whose lifespans had ended early, there were a few who had been enduring at the Mahayana peak.
Originally, as long as they successfully passed the Tribulation, they could ascend to the Immortal World.
However, these powerful beings, having lived too long, became even more cautious than ordinary people. They observed that Lin Bai constantly suppressed his cultivation and refused to ascend, plus Shi Nian, who had saved the Human Clan, also made no movements.
So they bitterly suppressed their cultivation, wanting to further observe the situation.
As a result, just when they could no longer suppress their cultivation,
news of Shi Nian's ascension spread out.
At this, these old foxes no longer had any doubts, and one by one, they hurriedly ascended in these few days.
Apart from the original elder, four more cultivators successively ascended through this Ascension Pool over time.
The Guardian was very curious about this, naturally retaining the five of them.
In the end, the matter of these five and Shi Nian was reported up through the ranks, and finally, the five were brought before the Eastern Immortal Emperor.
In the towering palace.
A long set of stairs meandered downward, and at the highest point of the stairs, a blurred figure calmly sat there.
The ascenders didn't dare to raise their heads at all; bending them low, endless fear flickered through their minds.
This is…
the intimidation emanating from the Immortal Emperor?
They were supreme beings in the Human Realm.
Yet here, they felt as if a single breath from the Immortal Emperor could annihilate them a hundred, a thousand times over.
The Eastern Immortal Emperor sat solemnly on his throne, his complexion calm as he glanced at the Jade Scroll presented by those below, then showed an expression full of interest.
Just a small world, yet under the descent of the True Demon Bottle, completely annihilated the Demon Clan! Moreover, they emerged utterly victorious without almost any casualties on their own side.
You should know.
In the process of battling with the True Demon Bottle, it wasn't that no Humans had ever emerged victorious before.
But in those worlds, the Human Clan discovered the existence of the True Demon Bottle early in the genesis of the Demon Clan and eradicated this hidden danger early on.
After the Demon Clan had truly proliferated, there was none left who could defeat them.
Now, this small world has become the first.
And all this was not because the Humans of this small world were exceptionally powerful but because among them, there was a person named Shi Nian.
It was she who purified the Demon Pool and she alone extinguished the Demon Lord.
The Eastern Immortal Emperor estimated that to accomplish this, one must at least be a Golden Immortal descending from the Immortal World.
That is to say.
Shi Nian in the Human Realm, probably already commanded the power of a Golden Immortal.
No wonder, after arriving in the Immortal World, she could directly reach the peak of Golden Immortal!
This woman is interesting.
The Eastern Immortal Emperor calmly glanced at the guard by his side.
He did not speak, but the guard had already received the instructions, and he said in a deep voice: "The five ascenders below, His Majesty commands. Relate in detail the matters concerning Shi Nian."
Again?
These five groaned.
They merely wished to follow Shi God, to conveniently ride on her coattails.
As a result, they didn't know Shi God's whereabouts. Instead, they repeatedly got interrogated about matters concerning Shi God.
Basically, with each Immortal who came, they would have to repeat it again, and with each Immortal who came, they would have to repeat it again.
By now, they've lost count of how many times it's been.
But that was the Eastern Immortal Emperor. The five naturally did not dare to slack off and detailedly recounted everything again.
However, Shi Nian was very mysterious, and except for Lin Bai and a few from Ling Tian Peak, she didn't interact much with other Humans, even if the five racked their brains, they had little to say.
The Eastern Immortal Emperor calmly listened for a while, then calmly said: "These five ascenders, stay temporarily in Eastern City, treated just as ordinary residents."
Staying in Eastern City? And even treated as ordinary residents?
These five individuals had been thoroughly briefed about the common knowledge of this world on their way here.
Eastern City is the main city of the Eastern Immortal Domain, and obtaining residential rights here is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
And they have acquired it already?
The Immortal Emperor of the East did not seem to have much more to say. The five of them could only nervously acknowledge, understanding in their hearts that this time, they have likely benefited from Shi Nian's fortune.
Is this the power of Shi Nian? Even without showing himself, he can protect them!
While these five individuals were moved as they departed.
The Immortal Emperor of the East spoke slowly: "That small world has accumulated for tens of thousands of years; in the next hundred years, there will be a surge of Ascenders. Bring them all to me then."
"Yes," the guard beside him dared not ask more, and simply complied.
The figure of the Immortal Emperor of the East vanished from the throne in the next instant.
The other Immortals were used to this and soon dispersed themselves.
In a void flickering with thunderbolts.
The Immortal Emperor of the East sat in a purple thundercloud, his eyes open with flashes of thunder in their depths.
The unparalleled genius from the small world?
Is this Shi Nian trustworthy?
A trace of worry flashed through the depths of the Immortal Emperor of the East's eyes.
If a few more strong reinforcements do not arrive soon, they, just a few of them, truly will not be able to hold on.
Oh well, he was also desperately seeking a cure. Even if she is a genius, at this moment she is nothing but a Golden Immortal. It's unknown how long it will take for her to develop to such a realm.
Perhaps by that time, the Immortal World might have already perished.
The Immortal Emperor of the East sighed, then closed his eyes.
Upon close inspection, the thundercloud where the Immortal Emperor of the East sat had layers of chains. From ten other directions, chains also rose into the sky, converging at a point in midair and tightly coiling around a giant head.
Although the head was bound, it did not seem to be in a hurry, its lips continuously bearing a sinister smile.
Its voice was deep, filled with temptation.
"You even dare to bind the Heavenly Dao! This is a path leading to death."
"Your powers are already weakening, within a few years, I will be able to break free. By then, your fate is unknown."
"If someone abandons now, when I am liberated, not only will I erase this disrespect, but I will also bestow upon you supreme fortune. Divine Positions will be but a grasp away then."
That head kept speaking tempting words.
At least for now, the chains were exceptionally firm, showing no signs of loosening.
The head wasn't in a rush, continuing to speak and tempt.
If someone were swayed by the temptation, it could break free sooner; if not, it was merely a matter of a few years, it didn't mind.
Just at this moment.
A voice echoed deep within the head's mind.
"Xuan Mie, the once mighty Thunder God, to fall to such a lowly state, is indeed joyous."
The head sneered: "At least, I have already consumed the Heavenly Dao of this region; the small worlds below will continuously provide me with energy. When I break free from these shackles, I shall ascend in one step."
The voice chuckled: "Small world? Hasn't the soul fragment from your small world been completely annihilated by someone?"
The expression on the head changed drastically: "Black Abyss, how did you find out?"
"Release a strand of Divine Sense into the dark void, and I, Li Ye, will be waiting in the nine heavens above."
After saying this, the voice disappeared.
The head's expression changed again, indeed it had released a soul fragment.
Above the nine heavens.
At the boundary between the Immortal World and the Divine Realm, the area was deadly silent, quietly terrifying.
But now.
Three transparent soul bodies gathered here.
