Chapter 415 - 320 Ascension of a Human Immortal
Time flies in the blink of an eye,
Years pass in leisurely succession.
Spring turns to autumn, and autumn to spring on Qingyun Mountain.
The mortals below have lived through five generations, with the legends of the immortals in the mountains witnessed by their great-grandfathers.
With a hundred years of good harvests, the mundane world has prospered greatly.
The population of the town at the foot of the mountain has multiplied several times over and has gradually transformed into a city of hundreds of thousands.
This kind of change is not striking within Great Yong or other nations, where countless new cities have blossomed like flowers to accommodate the exploding population. What was once the Mountain God’s private domain has now become various small nations, eking out an existence in the gaps between the great powers.
The human race of Dongsheng Divine Continent is stronger than ever before in history!
Inside Qingyun Temple,
Zhou Yi suddenly opened his eyes, took out a talisman from his sleeve, and after decades, heard his master’s message.
"Enough merit has been accumulated; the day of ascension is near. Come to Heavenly Mountain quickly!"
"It has finally come..."
Zhou Yi’s eyes were deep as he turned into a streak of light flying toward Heavenly Mountain.
Arriving at the borders, he descended from his light of flight outside Mystic Iron Temple, reported his identity, and went in, finding only the Iron Crown Immortal present.
"Master, how can the merit be taken away?"@@@@
After Zhou Yi had enshrined a host of deities, he, with the Heavenly Court’s protection over billions in the Dongsheng Divine Continent, sensed the tremendous merit blessing his being. An ordinary person obtaining such benefit could almost achieve anything they wished, becoming omnipotent!
However, the extra karma in his body, mysteriously repellant to merit, prevented Zhou Yi from using even a trace of it.
"The Divine Enthronement merit is inherently related to the Mending Heaven Sect and can be easily collected,"
said the Iron Crown Immortal as he took out a Jade Bottle from his sleeve and activated his mana, beginning to extract the formless essence of merit.
The merit fell into the Jade Bottle, and as the quantity continued to accumulate and compress, it began transforming into strands of golden light. Until the light filled the Jade Bottle, it kept compressing and extracting until it turned into beads of red gold.
Zhou Yi bowed again, now possessing the complete legacy of the Sect-Defending traditions, and he had only to continue his secluded cultivation on Qingyun Mountain.
"When will Master ascend?"
"If soon, ten years; if late, a century,"
Iron Crown Immortal replied, "Those Loose Cultivators who are lucky enough to advance to the Return Void stage are too weak to withstand the Void Gang Wind for long. They need to refine a sufficient number of defensive, decoy, and life-saving artifacts."
"On the day of ascension, a great ceremony will be held; you can come and witness it!"
...
Back on Qingyun Mountain.
Zhou Yi pondered for a long time. The news of the celestials leaving the Mortal World was bad news for him.
"With only three celestials remaining, I hope they can suppress the Heavenly Court and not cause trouble!"
The ascension of celestials was unstoppable.
Beyond the Three Immortal Sects, none of the great sects or empires had ever had anyone successfully ascend since their founding. Now granted the opportunity to ascend, they would choose to leave even if it meant abandoning their ancestral legacies.
The ancestral celestials of empires were even more anxious than those from the sects, having lived too long and not caring for their descendants and clan members.
"Meeting the enemy head-on, responding to the situation as it arises! If worse comes to worst, I, being a poor Daoist, can just burrow into a mountain and hide. With the Sun-occluding Robe, I’m also not afraid of relentless pursuit by the Heavenly Court."
Zhou Yi collected his thoughts and probed the jade slip with his Divine Sense to examine the Mending Heaven Technique.
After reading through the entire document several times and contemplating its truths, he quickly gained insights.
"The Mending Heaven Technique, mending the laws of acquisition, not just talent and foundation but also wealth and partners, can be supplemented later on?"
Zhou Yi revealed a look of surprise, repeatedly scrutinizing the Mending Heaven Technique, still unable to understand how it could influence wealth.
"Could it be that after cultivating, it can enhance one’s elusive fortune?"
...
The news of the celestials’ ascension spread.
The cultivators of Dongsheng Divine Continent had mixed feelings of joy and worry—those joyful saw the Heavenly Court’s ancestors suppressed by ninety percent.
