The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 971: The Southern Heavenly Gate

Inside the main hall of the Immortal King's Palace in the Divine Punishment Mountains, where Water Without Trace resides.

Shangguan Yunfei, Liu Qinghan, Yun Que, Xie Yi, Qin Yu, Shui Wuhen, and Ji Shuang—these cultivators from the Yuan Tian Continent are all gathered here at this moment.

The other immortals who were on guard in the outer void were finally relieved to find that the demons had not only retreated but had also encountered a spatial storm on their way back, resulting in the deaths and injuries of many demon cultivators.

The army of cultivators still gathered in Qingzhou was finally announced to be able to disband and return home.

The cultivators from the Yuan Tian Continent, having finally met together on the battlefield, and knowing that Xiao Han had taken the Spirit Tower to the realm where the Demon Clan resided, all gathered at the Divine Punishment Mountain Range to learn the latest news.

The group gathered to catch up, exchange ideas, and wait for Xiao Han to return.

When the Black Tower broke the seal and took away the croton, none of these people noticed anything unusual.

After arriving above the Immortal King Palace in the Divine Punishment Mountains with 10% of the war supplies, Immortal Venerable Peng Yue immediately unleashed his power.

Shui Wuhen, Liu Qinghan, and Yun Que, these three Immortal Kings, were the first to discover him.

Shui Wuhen knew Immortal Venerable Peng Yue, so he flew up first and bowed to Immortal Venerable Peng Yue.

"Greetings, Immortal Venerable Peng!"

Immortal Venerable Peng Yue didn't waste any words and stated his purpose directly, "Fellow Daoist Shui, I've come today at Fellow Daoist Xiao Han's request to deliver some things to you."

Shui Wuhen was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Xiao Han?"

Immortal Peng chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao has already ascended to the God Realm!"

"What?" Shui Wuhen couldn't believe his ears for a moment.

Not to mention his disbelief, the others below, who were intently watching the commotion above, were also filled with shock.

Immortal Peng was very satisfied with the shocked expressions on these people's faces.

Let alone Xiao Han's friends, even those immortals who witnessed Xiao Han's ascension still find it unreal.

Xiao Han, a cultivator at the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Realm, inexplicably ascended to immortality simply because he took the innate spiritual treasure Black Tower and returned its primordial power to another realm.

The key point is that when she ascended, although she had the same celestial signs as Immortal Venerable Xuanyu, she did not have golden tribulation lightning. This made the several Immortal Venerables watching feel that her ascension seemed to be quite opportunistic.

But ascension is ascension. The gate in the void leading to the realm of gods cannot be faked, and they are all incredibly envious.

Everyone who was standing below suddenly flew into the sky, paid their respects to Immortal Peng, and then inquired about the details.

Immortal Peng didn't hide anything and told everyone what happened afterward.

But what happened next was actually not complicated at all; it was just a matter of a few words.

Shui Wuhen scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that the croton seeds that should have been there were indeed nowhere to be found.

Peng Xianzun took out a storage bag and handed it to Shui Wuhen.

"This is Xiao Han's deserved reward. I've brought it to you as she asked. How you divide it is up to you. Alright, I'm leaving."

Seeing that Shui Wuhen and the others had nothing more to ask, Immortal Venerable Peng Yue then vanished.

A group of people went back down.

Yun Que spoke first: "With that Spirit Tower there, it's not surprising that Xiao Han can ascend to heaven in broad daylight."

Qin Yu nodded in agreement, after all, they had all witnessed the special features of the Black Tower firsthand.

Shui Wuhen held up the storage bag and said, "Being able to ascend to the God Realm is a great thing. Since these resources were left to us by Xiao Han, we shouldn't let her down. Let's share them. From now on, let's all focus on our cultivation and strive to ascend to the God Realm as soon as possible."

He firmly believed that Xiao Han possessed great fortune, and after the initial shock, he adapted well.

However, he was determined to be the second cultivator among this group to ascend to immortality.

Isn't it just ascending to the God Realm? Once the ascension channel is opened, there will definitely be a climax of ascensions, and he believes he will be one of them.

Xie Yi also adapted well to Xiao Han's fortune. However, the thought that Xiao Han had already reached the God Realm while he himself had only just entered the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal realm still made him feel quite disheartened.

I can't even compare to Yun Que anymore, and now even Xiao Han has left me behind. How can this be?

Sweeping across the eight wastelands, dominating all ages, shouldn't he have become the supreme god in the end?

No, my cultivation speed is still too slow; this doesn't fit the portrayal of the male protagonist in those novels.

Xie Yi was determined to find another way to increase his cultivation speed as soon as possible.

Yun Que flipped his hand, and a long spear appeared in his hand.

She raised her spear and pointed it to the sky, declaring with boundless pride, "So what if I ascend to the God Realm? I, Yun Que, will definitely go!"

Compared to her brimming confidence, Qin Yu felt nothing but bitterness.

He felt really tired.

Can't these people stop, rest, play, and enjoy the peaceful life in the immortal realm?

Everyone ran incredibly fast, especially Xiao Han, who had already fled to the God Realm. How could he possibly catch up with him?

Ji Shuang, Liu Qinghan, and Shangguan Yunfei, these three former top experts, could only sigh in their hearts at this moment that on the path of cultivation, no one can guarantee that they can stay ahead until the very last moment.

Xiao Han, who was envied by everyone, was standing outside the South Heavenly Gate with a completely bewildered expression.

When she stepped through the gate to the realm of gods, all she saw was emptiness.

After a moment of disorientation, I found myself on a solid and warm platform.

All around was a vast sea of ​​clouds, and directly in front stood a tall gate tower that resembled a memorial archway.

At first glance, it seems to be only a dozen feet tall, but upon closer inspection, it is tens of thousands of feet tall.

The main structure of the gate tower is not made of metal, stone, earth, or wood as commonly seen in the past, but is carved from a single piece of chaotic raw stone.

It seemed as if a chaotic aura from ancient times was flowing over it.

The entire gatehouse is not radiant with gold or shimmering with precious light, nor does it have any vibrant colors, but once you see it, your entire being will be drawn to it.

When Xiao Han's gaze fell on the three large characters on the gate tower, she felt a sharp pain in her soul after only a few glances.

Those with low cultivation levels don't even have the right to look directly at them.

Fortunately, I only needed to glance at it to see the words clearly.

Xiao Han was completely stunned after seeing the three words above.

"Nantianmen" are the three characters engraved on it.

Xiao Han was momentarily confused.

Didn't I ascend to the realm of gods? Why am I here at the Southern Heavenly Gate?

Could this be the South Heavenly Gate that Sun Wukong entered and exited countless times in Journey to the West?

There was no way around it; given the current situation, it was hard not to make her identify with it.

I glanced inside the gate again, and all I could see was swirling smoke and clouds. It was as if I saw countless worlds, yet also as if it were all nothingness.

As for the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the South Heavenly Gate...

Uh, not a single one.
