Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Chapter 411 Ascension Channel

While Dragon Island and Snake Island were actively preparing for war and frantically training their troops, around the Ascension Channel in the depths of the Chaos Sea, masters from all sides were also scattered everywhere.

"Brother Wu, several groups of people have arrived at the Ascension Passage. They all appear to be formation masters. Are they preparing to repair the passage?"

"Brother Yuan is absolutely right. I guess that's also the case."

"Does that mean that Senior Huashen is ready and about to ascend?"

"That should be it. After ten thousand years, we can finally ascend to the upper realms again. Although our time is running out and we have no chance to ascend, I can still die without regrets if I can witness the senior ascend with my own eyes before I die."

"That's right! That's right! Hahaha~"

The two conversing were Yuan Yi and Wuyazi. They had unexpectedly come together, seemingly on close terms. They were on an island over a thousand miles from the sea where the Ascension Path lay, drinking and chatting in a restaurant. It was clear they were deeply concerned about the matter of incarnation and ascension.

It wasn't just these two; the entire Chaos Sea was abuzz with news of a Divine Transformation's impending ascension. Both the righteous and the demonic forces had tacitly entered a truce, each paying close attention to the matter.

"Brother Jiao, are the materials for repairing the passage ready?" The Huashen from Zhongzhou was surnamed Li, an unremarkable old man. If Liu Xing were here, he would be astonished, because this was the mysterious old man he had met in a certain Sutra Library during his time studying at the Ten Great Sects. He had sensed that this man was no ordinary person, but he had never expected him to be a Huashen senior.

"Hmph! Don't worry about my work. I've basically prepared two copies of everything. I wonder how many formation masters you've found?"

This giant demon who had transformed into a spirit was the ancestor of the dragon clan, the ruler of the deep sea. He seemed to have a bad temper and asked Mr. Li rudely.

Mr. Li didn't take it seriously and immediately introduced his team of formation masters to the ancestor of the Jiao clan.

"This is Fellow Daoist Nangong Yan, the head of the Restriction Peak of Qianji Sect. He is a top-notch formation master in Zhongzhou. The others are also formation masters and restriction masters from various sects." Old Li introduced his formation repair team with a smile.

"Greetings, senior!" Nangong Yan and others, regardless of their level of cultivation, all bowed respectfully to the ancestor of the Jiao clan.

"Well, no need for formalities. Thank you all for your help this time." The Jiao clan ancestor also responded politely. Repairing the passage was related to his own ascension safety, so he treated the technicians with courtesy. He handed them a bulging storage bag, which obviously contained a large amount of treasures.

After everyone got to know each other, the group of technicians began to study methods to repair the channel and divided the work and got busy.

"Senior Nangong, how is my master Liu Xing now? Where is he?" Suddenly, a little girl from the Jiao clan ran to Nangong Yan and asked in a familiar manner.

"Level 8 Flood Dragon! Who is this?" Nangong Yan was startled, feeling somewhat familiar. After a closer look, she thought of Liu Xing's Flood Dragon mount.

"Are you Jiao Jiao? You've actually reached level eight? What a rapid cultivation speed!" Nangong Yan exclaimed, suddenly remembering something. It's extremely difficult for demon beasts to advance. Their lifespans are dozens of times longer than humans, but their cultivation is also extremely slow. The last time she saw Jiao Jiao was about two hundred years ago, when it was only level six! With this rate of progress, it must be the most outstanding member of the Jiaolong clan.

"Yes, I am Jiao Jiao. How is my master?" Jiao Jiao was very happy to receive the praise, but she was concerned about her master and kept asking questions.

"Alas, Liu Xing and Nie Xiaoqian, the couple left Qianji Sect more than a hundred years ago and went on a journey. They have not returned since then and there is no news from them. However, when they left, they were both in the late Jindan stage and were very powerful. Ordinary Yuanying stage cultivators would not be able to do anything to them. You don't have to worry too much." Nangong Yan said slowly, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart, feeling that things were not that simple.

Now that the Thousand Machines Sect is facing internal and external troubles and is in a state of decline, she has replaced Su Xingchen as the head of the Forbidden Peak. This time, Senior Li, a Divine Transformation Master, personally invited her to help repair the Ascension Path and warned the surrounding sects not to target the Thousand Machines Sect. This has helped to alleviate the sect's decline. However, Nangong Yan knows that the sects are only temporarily refraining from attacking them. Once Li ascends, they will return, their attacks even more fiercely. Liu Xing and his wife are exceptionally talented. Once they reach the Nascent Soul stage, they will be able to turn the tide and save the Thousand Machines Sect from collapse. Now that Liu Xing and his wife have been missing for so long, she is increasingly losing confidence.

"Master and Sister Xiaoqian are married, that's great!" Jiao Jiao said happily.

She had Liu Xing's soul mark, so if anything happened to him, she would definitely sense it. Now that it was intact, she knew Liu Xing was definitely alright. She had accompanied her father to bid farewell to the ancestor, and had come to this chaotic sea with the Deep Sea Dragon Clan. Her father, the Dragon King, was a Level 10 demon king, commanding the Deep Sea Dragon Clan. His power was formidable, with few rivals in the world.

Jiao Jiao's performance in the Dragon Transformation Pool was exceptional. Not only had she successfully broken through to Level 8, but she had also stimulated her dragon bloodline to an extremely high level, far surpassing that of her brothers and sisters. She had even sprouted the rudiments of dragon horns from her head. The Dragon King was delighted. He knew Jiao Jiao could reach at least Level 10, and he naturally considered her a successor, so he prioritized her training.

Before Jiao Jiao achieved enlightenment, she had a master. He had heard about this and was furious. He vowed to personally capture Liu Xing and punish him severely for daring to abduct his young daughter! No matter how Jiao Jiao explained, it was useless. Since she hadn't met him yet, she could only leave him alone for now.

Ever since Jiao Jiao came to the Chaos Sea, she has felt the breath of her master, especially when she arrived near the ascension passage, the breath became even stronger.

"Could it be that the master has appeared here?" she thought to herself, and decided to ask around for information.

"Dad, you guys are busy here, I'm going to take a walk around." Jiao Jiao said goodbye to his father.

"Go, and you must come back within a year. This is the only chance for you to witness the ancestor's ascension with your own eyes. It will be of great benefit to our cultivation. Don't miss it!" The Dragon King advised.

"Okay!" I don't know if Jiao Jiao heard it or not, but she spread her wings and flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Still so naughty." The Dragon King shook his head and scolded with a smile.

He wasn't worried about Jiao Jiao's safety. She possessed life-saving measures personally planted by the ancestor, making her capable of escaping the clutches of a late-Nascent Soul or a Level 10 demon king. Furthermore, Jiao Jiao was incredibly powerful, capable of challenging a Level 9 demon beast or a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. Furthermore, her flight speed was so swift that even a late-Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't catch up. If she could activate her ancient dragon bloodline, her speed would be even faster.
