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

Chapter 413: Transformation into a Spirit and Ascension

"Wuwuwu~" Hearing that his master was bullied by the God-Transforming Sun Lao and the witch, and that Sister Xiaoqian had also died, his master must have been heartbroken. Although she knew that her master was not dead, she was still very sad in her heart and cried loudly.

"God is jealous of talented people!" Yuan Yi also sighed.

Wuyazi even wiped his tears secretly, but Jiaojiao's loud and grief-stricken crying made the two old men puzzled.

"Little girl, stop crying. Do you also know Liu Xing and his wife?" Wuyazi asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Jiao Jiao nodded in acknowledgement with sobs. She felt Wuyazi's true feelings. He even left the Righteous Alliance for his master. Knowing that the other party was an enemy rather than a friend, she decisively admitted that she knew Liu Xing. This would make it easier for her to find out more about her master.

"Ah, how do you know Master Liu?" Wuyazi was inexplicably surprised.

"Before I achieved the Dao, I once spent some time with Fellow Daoist Liu. Fellow Daoist Liu's pure heart, generosity, and kindness have been of great help to me in my cultivation, so I have always been grateful to him." Jiao Jiao said half-truthfully.

"No wonder Master Liu once said that he came from the deep sea. That's right." Wuyazi murmured.

Jiao Jiao took the opportunity to ask Liu Xing and his wife many details, and finally learned about the master's time and related experiences in the Chaos Sea.

"Could the master be related to the disappearance of the Chaos Tower? The master is not dead, but the Chaos Tower is nowhere to be found. Hehe, interesting, this is in line with the master's temperament." Jiao Jiao keenly grasped the important clues and seemed to have discovered some secret.

"Given the master's cautious nature, with such a valuable treasure as the Chaos Tower in his hands, the only one he fears in the world is the God Transformation. He must be waiting for the God Transformation to ascend before coming out into the world. By then, he will surely soar to the sky and become famous throughout the world!"

"Haha!" Jiao Jiao seemed to think of something happy and burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing, young lady?" The two old men were puzzled by Jiao Jiao's laughter. They were crying bitterly just now, and now they were laughing so hard that it shook the earth. Could she be crazy?

"Ah, nothing." Jiao Jiao saw the two old men's stunned expressions and immediately realized his own loss of composure. He quickly collected his thoughts and became serious.

Time passed quickly, and the time for the incarnation and ascension would soon arrive. During this time, Jiao Jiao did not run around. She roughly knew the situation of her master, and now she just had to wait.

"My two fellow Taoists, please come with me to watch the ascension of the gods." Jiao Jiao invited.

"Ah, you are courting death! Senior Huashen has already issued an order that anyone who dares to approach within 300 miles will be killed without mercy." The two old men were shocked and hurriedly reminded Jiao Jiao, the seemingly inexperienced girl.

"It's okay, nothing will happen. If you trust me, just come with me." Jiao Jiao promised casually.

"Are you really okay?" the two old men asked suspiciously.

"Absolutely fine!"

"Okay, then we'll risk our lives for you! If you're not afraid of a little girl like you, what should we old men be afraid of?"

So the three of them flew towards the ascension passage.

Seeing Jiao Jiao coming back, the Dragon King was relieved, but he glanced at Yuan Yi and Wuyazi coldly, as if warning them not to set their sights on his daughter. The two old men were frightened and broke out in cold sweats.

"Dad, these are two new friends I made. I want to bring them along to watch the ancestor's ascension, is that okay?" Jiao Jiao said coquettishly, holding the Jiaolong King's arm.

"Okay! Okay! You have the final say!" said the Dragon King lovingly.

"Thank you dad."

"Look, I told you it's okay." Jiao Jiao turned around and winked at the two old men.

As expected, the two old men were also shrewd. They had already guessed Jiao Jiao's identity from her dragon form, and combined with her reassuring words, they were 70% to 80% sure. Otherwise, even if they had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare disobey the orders of the God of Transformation. Now, being able to observe the God of Transformation's ascension so closely, the two old men were as excited as children, giving Jiao Jiao a thumbs-up.

Before arriving, Nangong Yan and the others had already studied the diagrams of the Ascension Path provided by Elder Li and discussed repair plans with Elder Sun. With their abilities, they could repair about 60% to 70% of the damage, a feat that required the combined might of two Divine Transformations. The repaired space was much more stable than before. Elder Li and the Dragon Ancestor were quite satisfied. Entering the space would then require their own methods. However, they had already made sufficient preparations for this long period.

"Brother Jiao, are you ready?" asked Mr. Li.

"Everything is ready," the Jiaolong Patriarch replied, his tone noticeably better. It seemed he was quite satisfied with the work of Nangong Yan and the others. He and Li Huashen would be collaborating to enter the passage, and their cooperation would be crucial, so his attitude had also become much more positive.

Beneath the Ascension Path stood an altar, requiring four top-grade spirit stones to activate. These stones were incredibly rare and precious, and the two Divine Transformations had amassed a lifetime's worth of energy to gather only five or six, never willing to use them. As the altar activated, the two Divine Transformations stood at its center, and a pillar of light shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds. Each of them cast a spell to their left and right before disappearing onto the altar. After a long moment, the pillar of light faded, and the altar was sealed tightly by a thick barrier, a barrier erected jointly by the two Divine Transformations. No one could open the Ascension Path until they reached the Divine Transformation realm. This served as a form of protection, reserved for future Divine Transformations to ascend.

"Ascending right now?" Everyone present had expected a thrilling confrontation and had prepared for spatial fluctuations. Who knew that the two Divine Transformations would simply vanish so peacefully?

Here, the Dragon King had the highest cultivation level. He looked up at the sky, and with his level of cultivation, he could sense a hint of the spatial storm. Just now, his consciousness was instantly engulfed by the spatial storm, and he was so frightened that he immediately severed that part of his consciousness to prevent his soul from being sucked in. Even now, he was still in shock.

The Dragon King stepped forward and carefully inspected the altar's seal, confirming it was intact. Meanwhile, the cooled altar gradually disappeared from its original location, presumably hidden somewhere in space, uncallable without a Spiritual Transformation level. Everyone memorized the location of this sea area and recorded it in the sect's annals. Any future member of the sect or clan who ascended to a Spiritual Transformation level could follow this map and find its location.

"Jiao'er, let's go."

"Dad, I heard the Chaos Tower is still missing. I want to stay here and try my luck." Jiao Jiao had already thought of an excuse. Since Jiao Jiao reached level eight, she needed to come out and gain some experience to consolidate her cultivation. So, the Dragon King thought about it and agreed.

After the Dragon King left, Jiao Jiao gathered Nangong Yan and Wuyazi together to discuss countermeasures. Jiao Jiao was certain that the spirit had ascended and the master would soon appear.
