Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 215 Someone Ascended

An elder from each of the Wuji Immortal Palace, the Tianfang Divine Palace, and the Phoenix Immortal Palace came up, and Zi Dong began to lead everyone in cultivation.

The cultivators from the Eastern Continent had not yet arrived, so Zi Dong planned to give them special training, since they were only at the Void Breaking Realm.

Everyone on the summit of Zhongtian Peak held Zi Dong in great awe, for Zi Dong was an immortal who could kill them as easily as crushing ants!
The method that Donglai Ziqi taught Zidong to become an immortal was very simple: by using the righteous energy of merging with immortal power, he could make his own space become a world.

The space of a cultivator is dead, and the same is true for those in the Supreme Realm; life cannot survive there.

The world of immortals and gods possesses powerful vitality, not only nurturing life but also serving as the source of their power.

Although he lacks the foundation of immortals and gods, with the help of righteous energy, Zi Dong, who possesses the world, can still exert the power of immortals and gods.

[Once you possess the world, merge it with your physical body. Both the body and the world will become the foundation of your immortality.]

Zi Dong didn't know if this was chicken soup brewed for him by the purple aura from the east, or if he could really become an immortal.
For a cultivator to become an immortal, they must take their body, mind, and spirit as the foundation, use essence, energy, and spirit as the medium, and fully communicate with the power of heaven and earth.

But Zi Dong did nothing; he simply stole the immortal power of three gatekeepers from the Immortal Realm.

If becoming an immortal were that easy, wouldn't anyone on the Heavenly Fortune Continent be able to become an immortal?

"What are you dreaming about?" Donglai Ziqi interrupted Zidong's rambling thoughts with displeasure.
Do you think everyone can steal immortal power from immortals like you?

"That's true!" Zi Dong chuckled sheepishly and quickly led everyone in cultivation.

What right does he have to complain? If it weren't for the Eastern Purple Qi, he would be hiding somewhere, cultivating in fear and trembling.

Zi Dong decided to use Wuwei Immortal Venerable as a test subject first, as he could integrate more righteous energy and be more easily controlled by Zi Dong.

Righteous energy can absolutely suppress cultivators of the demon, monster, and witch races, but it can absolutely control cultivators of the Daoist sect.

This also applies to the celestial realm, because most of the immortals and gods ascended from the mortal world.

Wuwei Immortal Venerable went to great lengths to ascend to the Immortal Realm, completely entrusting himself to Zidong.

The gates to the celestial realm have been opened. Ascending to immortality sooner will grant you more opportunities and allow you to avoid more dangers.

Under Zi Dong's guidance, the righteous energy that merged with immortal power surged into the space of the Wuwei Immortal Venerable.

Just like Pangu creating the world, the righteous energy was the axe that split the space of the Immortal Venerable Wuwei in two.

The pure air rises, the turbid air sinks, and the sky and earth quickly condense, thus a brand new world is born.

Immortal power was an absolute bug in the Heavenly Fortune Continent, and it quickly gave birth to life in the world of the Immortal Lord Wuwei.

"Palace Master Wuwei, ascend quickly. Once you reach the Immortal Realm, don't call yourself an Immortal Venerable anymore."

Seeing that the Immortal Venerable Wuwei was still consolidating his cultivation, Zi Dong couldn't help but urge him on with amusement.

This method of ascension cannot lay a solid foundation, let alone stabilize one's cultivation.
"Zi Dong, is this world, which possesses immortal power, the foundation of immortals and gods?"

Wuwei Immortal Venerable was very doubtful about his ascension to immortality. How could this be the foundation when all he had was a world of immortal power?
"It is not the foundation, but the fusion of the physical body with the microcosm, where both the body and the microcosm can serve as the foundation."

Zi Dong repeated what Donglai Ziqi had told him. He had not yet merged his physical body with the small world, so he was not really clear about it.

"Then I'll cultivate for a while longer," Immortal Venerable Wuwei immediately decided upon hearing this.

"Palace Master Wuwei, no matter how much longer you cultivate, it will be useless!" Zi Dong realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly dissuaded him:

"We don't have the cultivation techniques of the immortal realm. Even if we merge our physical body with the small world, our foundation won't be stable!"

"What are we going to do? Where are we going to obtain immortal cultivation techniques?" Immortal Venerable Wuwei panicked upon hearing this. His purpose in cultivating was to ascend to the immortal realm; if he couldn't even obtain cultivation techniques, what was the point of cultivating at all!

“The Dao Ancestor of the East has it.” Zi Dong mysteriously raised his hand and pointed to the golden, glittering gate to the Immortal Realm.

"But with my current strength, how can I find the Dao Ancestor from the East?" Immortal Venerable Wuwei was both excited and worried.

“You have already integrated with the righteous energy, which makes the immortals very wary, and the Eastern Dao Ancestor can easily sense you,” Zi Dong quickly encouraged.

"Good!" Immortal Venerable Wuwei clapped his hands excitedly: "I'll go to the Immortal Realm first!"

Seeing that the Immortal Venerable Wuwei had made up his mind, Zi Dong quickly helped the five elders of the Donglai Immortal Palace to cultivate.

Ten days later, Immortal Venerable Wuwei led five elders into the Immortal Realm to begin their journey to find the Dao Ancestor Donglai.

Wuwei Immortal Venerable originally intended to leave an immortal elder to oversee the Donglai Immortal Palace, but Zi Dong guaranteed that more cultivators from the Donglai Immortal Palace would become immortals, which dispelled his concerns.

Ten thousand years ago, cultivators who achieved immortality would be sensed by the celestial realm and ascend to the celestial realm amidst a golden light.

The scene was quite spectacular, and the whole Tianyun Continent knew about it. His family was showered with praise and adulation.

That's truly a case of one person attaining enlightenment and their entire family and sect benefiting from it for a hundred years!

However, during these ten thousand years, the immortal realm was lifeless, and no cultivator was able to ascend to immortality.

Wuwei Immortal Venerable, accompanied by five elders from the Eastern Immortal Palace, flew towards the gate of the Immortal Realm, their bodies gleaming with golden light.

This was something Zi Dong specifically instructed them to always envelop themselves in righteous energy.

Not only for their own safety, but also to let everyone know that they are people of the Eastern Dao Ancestor!

Ever since the gates to the Immortal Realm opened, cultivators across the entire Tianyun Continent have been keeping a close eye on Zhongtian Peak.

The stormy sea had long since calmed down, and cultivators from the four continents in the east, west, south, and north could clearly see the sky above Zhongtian Peak.

When the gate to the Immortal Realm appeared, cultivators from the four continents—east, west, south, and north—rushed to the central continent.

Seeing someone ascend to the immortal realm, these people sped up even more, as they also wanted to ascend to the immortal realm!
All eyes on the continent were focused on the golden bodies of the six Immortal Venerables, which greatly worried the Palace Master of Jixuan Palace and the others.

"Immortal Zi Dong, let's ascend as soon as possible!" Palace Master Ji Xuan urged Zi Dong, who was observing the group of Immortal Venerable Wuwei.

"Let's wait until Palace Master Wuwei and the others enter the Immortal Realm," Zi Dong advised.

“What Immortal Zidong said is absolutely right.” Seeing that Palace Master Jixuan still wanted to try, Palace Master Baijie quickly advised her as well.

"Shouldn't we ascend to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible?" Palace Master Xing Fei questioned Palace Master Bai Jie with dissatisfaction.

"Let's listen to Immortal Zidong and Palace Master Baijie." Palace Master Jixuan winked at Palace Master Xingfei.

Although Palace Master Xing Fei was impulsive, he was not stupid and quickly understood the meaning of Palace Masters Ji Xuan and Bai Jie.

The Immortal Realm is an unknown place for everyone, and is naturally full of dangers. Let the Palace Master of Wuwei and the others explore it first.

While the Palace Master of Wuwei and others were certainly worried, Zi Dong was full of confidence, because immortals feared the righteous energy!
Even the strongest on the Heavenly Fortune Continent are but ants before immortals, yet immortals fear the righteous energy.

If it weren't for Donglai Ziqi's suggestion that Zidong take more people to the Immortal Realm, Zidong would have wanted to go and explore the Immortal Realm alone!
