Chapter 844: Dao Companion Ascension (2)
However, after more than 100 years, it was about to collapse. He went up to the attic.
Ying Yue opened her eyes. “It’s An’er.”
Shen An bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Aunt Ying.”
Ying Yue nodded slightly, “An’er, I can only last for another 50 years at most. In 50 years, I have to ascend. At that time, if your Aunt Yin hasn’t come out of the Strange Beast Gate, the Shen family will rely on you to support it.”
Shen An said solemnly, “I know.”
“Your father left behind many methods before he ascended back then, including puppets at the Golden Immortal level. However, there are many factions in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness that covet the resources of the City Lord Manor. Other than the foreign races, there are also some factions in the human race.
“The foreign races can be seen clearly, but some enemies in the dark are sometimes not your enemies. They will pretend to be your good friends or even Dao Companions, so An’er, you have to be vigilant at all times!” Ying Yue reminded him.
Because Shen Ping was too dazzling, the descendants of the Shen family could not hold up their faces. This was very normal for a family. After all, facing the dazzling head of a human prodigy, the descendants would naturally feel immense pressure.
As the eldest son of the first wife, Shen An had also trained in the eastern region of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, but he had still not experienced the cruelty of the cultivation world. In the past, Ying Yue still had time, but now that she was about to ascend, she had no choice but to teach Shen An.
Several hours later, as she watched Shen An leave, Ying Yue muttered, “I wonder how Wang Yun and Sister Yu Yan’s cultivation is!”
It was more than 40 times faster in the World Pearl. A short 200 years was equivalent to nearly 10,000 years.
Half of Shen Ping’s wives and concubines, who had at least reached the Mahayana Realm, had finally reached the late-stage of the Tribulation Transcendence after this period of bitter cultivation. The rest had also advanced to the early-stage and mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcendence. Among them, the fastest, Yue Lingluo and Yu Qingling, were already at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence.
Pei Huoyu, Yu Yan, and Wang Yun were already at the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcendence realm. Bai Yuying, Luo Qing, Mu Jin, Yin Honglian and Qiu Ying were all at the early stage of the Tribulation Transcendence.
“At this speed, Sister Qingling and Sister Lingluo will reach the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence in at most 50 years.”
Wang Yun revealed a look of joy. “When the time comes, you don’t have to suppress your cultivation aura. Immediately ascend with Sister Ying Yue and go to the Immortal Dao territory to meet my husband. As for us, we’ll stay in Gray Stone City and guard the family. When the younger generation in the family grows up, it won’t be too late for us to ascend.”
Yue Lingluo shook her head. “Sister Yun’er, this is too much for you. Husband has already ascended for more than 200 years. Although we usually cultivate in seclusion for longer than this, we can always have a thought when we cultivate in seclusion. We can see him at any time. However, now that one is in the immortal dao territory and the other is in the lower realm, it’s like there’s a natural chasm between them. Therefore, I know that everyone misses Husband.
“In my opinion, why don’t we let Sister Ying Yue go to the Immortal Dao territory first? We’ll suppress it for some time. When you all reach the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence, we’ll ascend together. As for the family… just leave it to An’er. It’s time for him to learn to grow. If he always has our help, he’ll never be able to grow.”
Wang Yun was silent for a moment. She also knew this logic. However, the Shen family was the blood and sweat left behind by her husband. Before she ascended, he had asked her to take care of the descendants of the bloodline. How could she hand them over so easily?
Yu Yan said, “Alright, let’s not think about this for now. Let’s hurry up and cultivate. Counting the days, Sister Yingyue can’t suppress it anymore. In a few decades at most, we have to go out.”
“Okay.”
Soon, they were immersed in cultivation again.
Fifty years passed in a flash. The place where Shen Ping had ascended back then was now called the Immortal Ascension Valley. Now, a large number of Itinerant Immortals, Tribulation Transcendence, Mahayana Realm experts, and other experts had gathered around the valley. They looked at an enchanting woman in the middle of the valley.
“The Shen family really has an endless stream of powerhouses. It’s only been 200 years, and someone is about to ascend again!”
“The City Lord Residence is surrounded by an immortal formation. Cultivating inside for a day is equivalent to a year in the outside world. If I were in his place, I would also cultivate at this speed.”
“Come on, do you think cultivation only looks at the environment? Without enough talent and perseverance, it’s useless even if you go to the Immortal Dao territory.”
Many cultivators whispered among themselves. In the mortal world, more than 200 years might be a long time, but in the cultivation world, it was incomparably short. Perhaps it was just the life of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
As for Mahayana Realm, Tribulation Transcendence and Itinerant Immortals, more than 200 years was just a blink of an eye.
As she sensed her aura, lightning tribulation quickly condensed in the sky of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. Unlike Shen Ping’s nine purple lightning bolts, Ying Yue only had seven lightning tribulations. She easily transcended the lightning tribulation with an immortal artifact, causing many Mahayana Realm cultivators to be extremely envious.
The power of the lightning tribulation was very strong. Even low-grade immortal artifacts could not resist it. These Mahayana Realm cultivators were still thinking of ways to gather immortal artifacts to prepare for the Tribulation Transcendence in the future. However, almost everyone in the City Lord Manor had a medium-grade immortal artifact. It was simply infuriating. “Isn’t this too easy?!”
“Exactly. She crossed it easily with just a sword.”
“Look, the Immortal Gate is about to open. After flying through the Immortal Gate, she can reach the territory of the Immortal Dao. The Shen family has produced another Immortal.”
“Shen Ping is a prodigy of the human race. Even if he goes to the immortal Dao territory, he will be valued by the upper echelons. His cultivation path will be smooth-sailing in the future. Sigh, us cultivators still have to cultivate step by step. We might even die under the lightning tribulation in the future!”
Many Mahayana Realm cultivators sighed.
Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Yu Qingling, and the other women revealed delighted expressions, feeling happy that Ying Yue had successfully transcended the lightning tribulation. After all, there were risks in undergoing the lightning tribulation. No one dared to say that they were 100% confident.
Cloudy Rock Immortal Domain.
The Ascension Pool.
Several ascenders arrived at the Ascension Pool through the Ascension Passage. Pure immortal spirit liquid enveloped the Ascension Pool and allowed the ascenders to absorb it, completely converting the immortal energy and magic power in their bodies.
Like the other four ascenders, Ying Yue was sitting cross-legged in the Ascension Pool and quickly absorbing the immortal spirit liquid. The aura in her body kept rising and finally stopped at the mid-stage True Immortal realm.
The stronger the foundation, the stronger the strength after absorbing the immortal energy.
Ascendants like her, who had directly reached the mid-stage True Immortal Realm, were relatively rare. As such, she quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding immortals who were guarding the Ascension Pool.
However, after sensing his aura and appearance, the guard in charge immediately reported.
Not long after, the Golden Immortals of the immortal cities near the Cloudy Rock Immortal Realm descended.
“Haha, may I ask if you’re the Dao companion of our human prodigy, Shen Ping?”
As the Cloud Rock Immortal Realm was in charge of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness and the surrounding Ascension Pool, this place had long been valued by the human Immortal Venerables. They had sent their capable Golden Immortal experts to guard the Cloud Rock Immortal City so that they could receive Shen Ping’s wife, concubine, and Dao companions in time and prevent the foreign races from infiltrating and threatening them.
Ying Yue’s face lit up and she hurriedly replied, “Senior, I am.”
The Golden Immortal smiled and said, “Fairy, please follow me to the Cloud Rock Immortal City. You’ll be safe there.”
He took out an immortal flying ship artifact and quickly left the Ascension Pool with Ying Yue. The other ascenders who were still in the Ascension Pool looked at each other.
“That was Shen Ping’s dao companion just now. She’s really devastatingly beautiful!”
“As soon as she ascended, she became a mid-stage True Immortal. As expected of the Dao Companion of a human prodigy!”
“If I could have exchanged a few words with her just now, that would have been an Immortal encounter!”
The surrounding immortal city guards guarding the Ascension Pool were filled with regret.
“Alright, stop daydreaming. You’re lucky to be able to ascend with Prodigy Shen’s Dao Companion. Leave the Ascension Pool quickly and take a flying ship to Cloud Rock Immortal City. Only when you reach Cloud Rock Immortal City will you truly step into the territory of the immortal Dao,” A guard urged.
It was also a flying ship, but it was on a completely different level from the flying ship that the Golden Immortal had just taken out. However, these ascenders could only endure the discomfort and take the flying ship to the immortal city..
