Chapter 3524 Collective Ascension
A month later.

Numerous cultivators from the Heavenly Sect gathered here.

All eyes were on the leading figures.

This.

These are the ancient immortals of the Tianzong sect today.

"Let's go!"

Yu Ren glanced at everyone, his gaze finally settling on Jiang Zhen. After pausing for a moment, he stepped into the Ascension Altar.

Gu Bai and the others were the same.

Enter the Ascension Altar.

None of them suppressed their strength anymore, and their cultivation at the Ancient Immortal Realm was fully unleashed, causing a terrifying aura to sweep across the heavens and earth.

That moment.

The ancient continent.

Even the chaotic void.

Many cultivators seemed to sense something and turned their heads to look in the direction from which the aura was coming from.

There.

Countless rays of light illuminated the heavens.

"Ascend!"

Many Celestial Kings were shaken to their core.

Ascend to the Upper Realm!

This is their ultimate goal in cultivation.

In the past, there were no ancient immortals or ascendants in the universe. Once one reached the Immortal King realm, it was as if the path ahead was cut off, and there was no possibility of advancing any further.

Once a cultivator reaches this level, they no longer have much ambition.

But it's different now.

The road ahead continues.

There is still a path to follow above the level of the Celestial King.

however.

Although there is a path ahead, very few people are ever truly able to break through the ancient immortal realm and ascend to immortality.

With several ancient immortals from the Heavenly Sect ascending together, such a grand spectacle is bound to attract attention.

"Break through the boundaries and ascend!"

As Batian Shenjun looked at the chilling aura and the vast, terrifying Daoist charm, he vaguely sensed that his bottleneck had loosened slightly.

this moment.

It seems that the Overlord God has seen the path to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

This change filled him with a sense of joy.

Once a path forward is found, subsequent breakthroughs will be much easier.

now.

Under the glow of the sunset, Yu Ren and the others had disappeared from sight.

Many extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth also fell silent completely as they left.

"They've ascended!"

Jiang Zhen's expression was solemn, and then he glanced at the other cultivators.

If Yu Ren and others ascend to immortality, then his prestige as sect leader will inevitably be affected.

Fortunately.

One hundred thousand years.

Jiang Zhen was also secretly building up his power, so he wasn't completely without any usable resources.

the most important is.

He knew that the Overlord God supported him, and that was enough.

With Elder Batian Shenjun present, other factions would have to think twice before acting, no matter what ideas they had.

of course.

If the Overlord God also ascends, then things will get a bit tricky.

However, judging from the current situation, even if the Overlord God ascends to immortality, it will not be a short-term event.

During this period, Jiangzhen can continue to develop itself and quietly accumulate strength and resources.

……

Space changes.

The Great Dao is in turmoil.

Yu Ren and the others only felt a blur before their eyes, and when they reappeared, they were already in an unfamiliar place.

Before they could react, even more powerful immortal energy descended upon them.

A divine aura infused my body!

The group could clearly feel their physical bodies undergoing a transformation, and their immortal power was constantly increasing.

After a long while, this strange phenomenon finally disappeared.

"call!"

Gu Bai felt the changes in himself and his face showed amazement.

He knew the upper realm was extraordinary, but he never expected to receive such benefits so soon after ascending.

With such immortal energy infused into their bodies, their strength is greatly enhanced.

If one cultivates normally, it can be equivalent to at least hundreds of thousands of years of hard work.

Gu Qingfeng and the others also had different expressions, shocked by their own changes.

No one expected it.

Such a great change can occur upon ascending to the upper realm.

But before they could rejoice for long, a terrifying aura suddenly appeared.

Under such an aura, Gu Bai and the others were all on high alert, as if facing some terrifying existence, their blood, spirit and soul trembling.

These changes.

This left the group of people visibly shocked.

at this time.

They then realized that, without them noticing, a strange figure had appeared in front of them.

The other party stood there, seemingly in harmony with heaven and earth. If the other party hadn't actively released their aura, they wouldn't have been able to detect them at all.

"It's quite rare for five people from the lower realms to ascend at once!"

Ji Yang stood with his hands behind his back, and when his calm gaze fell on Gu Bai and the others, he saw through their true nature.

After many years, it is not unusual for cultivators in the lower realms to ascend to immortality again.

However, it is extremely rare for five ascendants to appear at once like this.

at this time.

Yu Ren took the initiative to cup his hands and said, "I am Yu Ren, the sect leader of the Heavenly Sect of the Lower Realm. May I ask your identity, senior?"

He was the first to state his background in order to avoid any misunderstandings.

After all, the aura of Ji Yang before them was unfathomable, far more terrifying than the Myriad Laws Emperor they had encountered before.

Although they had already broken through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, they still had no chance of winning against such a powerful expert.

However, the ascension altar of the Heavenly Sect was left by Shen Changqing.

So, the place where he ascended to heaven is probably also related to his master.

Therefore.

Yu Rencai then dared to reveal his identity.

"Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect!"

A smile suddenly appeared on Ji Yang's previously indifferent face, and the terrifying aura dissipated.

"So it's Senior Brother Yu. There's been some misunderstanding about this."

"Senior brother? Senior... no, fellow Daoist, could it be..."

"My name is Ji Yang, and I am a disciple of Master Shen Changqing. I am somewhat rude of me to have not recognized you, Senior Brother!"

Ji Yang cupped his hands and said.

As soon as these words came out.

Yu Ren and the others were shocked.

They never imagined that the terrifying being before them would be a disciple their master had taken in from the Upper Realm.

Although they didn't actually fight Ji Yang, they could understand the gap between themselves and him just by looking at that aura.

to be frank.

Yu Ren had considered many possibilities, but he never expected that the other party would be his fellow disciple.

at this time.

Ji Yang then looked at Gu Bai and the others, and asked, "May I ask who these gentlemen are?"

"My name is Gu Bai!"

My name is Han Yan—

Gu Bai and the others revealed their identities, and Ji Yang bowed in response.

"Greetings, fellow disciples. Since you have ascended from the lower realm, you should inform our master. Unfortunately, our master has been in seclusion for a million years and has not emerged for a long time."

Since that's the case, my fellow disciples will stay at Dan Peak for the time being. Once Master emerges from seclusion, I will go and inform him immediately!

"Then it's hard work!"

The group exchanged glances, and finally Yu Ren spoke.

At this point, all they can do is wait and see.

They had some doubts about what Ji Yang said, but the situation was beyond their control, and it was not advisable to break off relations.

and so.

We need to take a long-term view now.

at this time.

Yu Ren then asked casually, "Speaking of which, some fellow disciples ascended to immortality a few years ago. I wonder if Junior Brother Ji has seen them?"

"The senior brother Yu is probably referring to senior brother Gu Qingyang and senior brother Minghe, right?"

Ji Yang smiled faintly.

"Exactly!"

Yu Ren nodded, secretly relieved.

Since Ji Yang knows Ming He and Gu Qingyang, it's highly likely that what the other party said is true.

Ji Yang said, "Currently, Senior Brother Ming and Senior Brother Gu are also in seclusion for cultivation. For the time being, you senior brothers will stay at Dan Peak. I will inform them of the details later!"

While talking.

Ji Yang had already led Yu Ren and the others away from the Ascension Altar.

Seeing this, the others did not object.

After a while.

Then a celestial abode came into view.

"These immortal abodes are all uninhabited. Senior brothers, you may stay here. If anything happens, you may also send a message to your junior brother."

This is my communication jade talisman; please keep it safe, Senior Brother!

Ji Yang handed a communication jade talisman to Yu Ren, bowed again, and then left.

He knew that the group had just arrived and were still wary of him, so saying too much at once would backfire.

After Ji Yang left.

The group looked at the celestial abode before them with complex expressions.

"The cultivation environment in the upper realm is indeed incomparable to that in the lower realm. The immortal energy here is so rich that one day of cultivation here is probably equivalent to a hundred days in the lower realm!"

Han Yan felt the rich immortal energy of this immortal abode. Compared with the lower realm, it was like heaven and earth.

Cultivating under such conditions speaks volumes about the strength of the upper realm.

at this time.

The Jade Emperor slowly spoke: "What are your thoughts, fellow senior brothers, on what Junior Brother Ji said?"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone fell silent.

half an hour.

Gu Bai slowly said, "I think what he said is true. After all, we have just ascended to the Upper Realm and our strength is far inferior to that of him."

If that person harbors any ill intentions, even if we join forces, it would be difficult to contend with them!

This may sound harsh, but it's the truth.

Although they hadn't actually fought, just by looking at their auras, it was enough to understand how vast the gap was between them.

If Ji Yang really wanted to make a move, even if the five of them joined forces, they would have a hard time resisting him in the slightest.

The strength of the opponent.

He was far stronger than the Emperor of Ten Thousand Laws back then.

Yu Ren nodded: "Sixth Junior Brother is right. If this person has any ill intentions, it will be difficult for us to be his match."

Furthermore, since he was able to name the eldest brother and the third brother, it's unlikely to be false.

Moreover, things have come to this point, and even if he truly harbors malicious intent, we have no way to break the deadlock.

Instead of thinking so much, it's better to stay here and focus on your cultivation for now.

"By maximizing our strength, we'll have a better chance of survival should anything change in the future."

Yu Ren's words made everyone nod in agreement.

Things have come to this point, and this is all they can do.

all will be good.

Before many things are proven true, this is the worst possible outcome.

and so.

The group simply stopped thinking about it and focused on cultivating in the immortal abode.

Don’t say anything else.

The cultivation environment of the immortal abode alone is enough to make people's hearts flutter.

In the entire universe, even the most supreme blessed lands and grotto-heavens contain a vast difference in celestial energy compared to the immortal abode before us.

People like Gu Bai, although it has been more than a million years since he broke through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, are unable to cultivate in the lower realms and have made little progress in their cultivation.

Now that we've finally made it here, we should seize this opportunity and do our best to improve our cultivation level.
