The Jiuzhou Conference is here, stepping into a new era.
Although the remaining Ascension Experts in the Battle Illusion Realm covet that immense Immortal Spirit Qi, they dare not seize it.
Above that Immortal Sect, there are yet a pair of celestial eyes watching.
Clearly, it is an Immortal from the Upper Realm.
A true Immortal from the Upper Realm!
Who dares to act rashly?
No one expected that this Ascension Ceremony would witness a moment that would inscribe itself into the history of the Nine Provinces.
Above the Immortal Sect.
"The four of you, please do not struggle."
The ethereal immortal silhouette replaced the four, its voice like celestial music from the heavens, "Surely, you have sensed it yourselves. You have become Outer World Immortals, and it is not permitted in the Nine Provinces for Outer World Immortals to disrupt this realm's balance."
"If you insist on staying in the Lower Realm, it will only spawn endless karma and misfortune."
The four: "..."
"He opened the Immortal Sect; why is only our ascent?" Mo Xilan asked gravely, "Please, Immortal, explain this to us!"
"He is merely the key," the Immortal replied. "The key's responsibility is only to open the gate. Just like Dongfang Mu a thousand years ago, he opened the channel to the Upper Realm, causing the Immortal energy to gather heavily in the Heavenly Spirit Realm. The spiritual energy descended and surged into the Nine Provinces, transforming the world."
"Although the channel between the two realms was opened, the Ascension path of the Nine Provinces still needs to be re-established."
"His appearance, along with yours, is destined."
The first batch of Outer World Immortals in the Nine Provinces is sure to become the backbone of the future Heavenly Spirit Realm, capable of achieving the true Immortal of the Great Luo.
The four heard this; they couldn't accept it, yet it was as expected...
"If explained in detail..." the Immortal said, "he relied on your strength to open the Immortal Sect. Those four forces that broke through the Immortal Sect would record your Great Taoist presence, so they naturally led you to ascend."
"As for him...though he is the key, for re-establishing the Ascension path, he has a share of merit. When the time is right, perhaps he will also ascend."
Upon hearing this, the four let out a sigh of relief.
Yet, thinking of that fellow, it seems as if he knew as well...
Especially that Fu Hongshuang...
They haven't heard of her, but relying on a woman's intuition, and that Dongfang Mu's nature back then.
Who knows how many other females he secretly entangled with?
Thus...
"It must be true!"
"When he ascends, we'll settle the score with him..." Several of them gritted their teeth.
He's already undergone Divinity Transformation, ascension won't take more than a hundred years.
A millennium has passed; another hundred years is not too long to wait.
It might not even take that long...
"Please, Immortal, lead us to the Heavenly Spirit Realm."
"Well..." the Immortal mused, "You will have immortal officials to guide you; I have other matters..."
With that, the mysterious Immortal, shrouded in a veil of mist, transformed into a streak of unknown brilliance, flying into the Lower Realm.
The four were stunned, yet two Immortal officials looking like Divine Generals respectfully guided from behind:
"Please, four Outer World Immortals, follow us to the Heavenly Spirit Realm..."
——
Wang Mu propped up his rather fatigued body and walked to a corner of the Battle Illusion Realm.
The four have ascended.
But the other Ascension Experts are eager to try.
Ascension has greatly encouraged and motivated them.
Now that the ceiling battle powers have left, at this moment...
It's their chance for the new Sect Ascension Experts to contest for supremacy!
As for Wang Mu, this Ascension Expert of unknown origin, he voluntarily withdrew from the stage of the Battle Illusion Realm.
Daring to fight against the four veteran Ascension Experts and surviving, opening the Immortal Sect for their ascension, he remained behind, sacrificing himself for others...
One can only say... legendary.
Too legendary.
"The Immortal Sect is also slowly closing."
"It's time to exit the stage."
Wang Mu looked at the many Ascension Experts around, yearning for a higher contest, nodded slightly, and planned to retreat to the Ascending Immortal Platform.
But...at this moment.
Accompanied by a flicker of radiance, a figure descended before him.
Wang Mu blinked and saw a woman dressed in a light purple Immortal Robe.
Why call it an Immortal Robe, it's because of its design, which Wang Mu had never seen among the dress styles conjured across the Nine Provinces.
It was evident at a glance that these clothes were extraordinary.
Looking at her appearance again,
Wang Mu paused slightly, seemingly familiar, but he had never seen her.
Wang Mu had once suspected if Mr. Lee might be Xiao Li herself, or if she would send someone down, or even come down personally.
Since the Moon Palace incident, the Upper Realm was surely aware, and the various trials of the Moon Palace clearly targeted that former Mr. Tian.
As long as one passed, not saying one was Mr. Tian who helped Xiao Li with her rulership, even if not, there surely were close ties.
The Moon God also mentioned that the Upper Realm still has the position of Regent King vacant.
This indicates Xiao Li hasn't forgotten.
The Moon God even suspected him of being a descendant of the Regent King.
All of this indicates that Xiao Li, as the empress who ascended with the court, established new order in the Upper Realm, and still remembered Mr. Tian.
He is also the only cultivator who passed the Moon Palace trial.
It's normal to suspect.
"You...are an Immortal from the Upper Realm?"
Wang Mu cautiously asked, "Did Mr. Lee send you?"
This Fairy is somewhat special.
Her clear face and almond eyes exude innate nobility; the light purple Immortal Dress boasts a transcendent beauty, especially with special armor components embedded at the waist, shoulders, and wrists, combining dress and armor, endowing her with inherent battle spirit, like a female martial immortal.
She seemed familiar because Wang Mu saw traces of Xiao Li in her features.
