From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 517 Ascension to Immortality: Fang Qingxue

The World of Immortality, the Gate of Ascension
The Immortal Mountain is shrouded in mist and clouds, with towering green peaks piercing through the sea of ​​clouds, like an awe-inspiring sword formation laid out by an ancient giant.

Ta Xian Yuan

On the vast square paved with white marble, people thronged together. Young people from the Great Li Dynasty and even countless surrounding countries gathered here, and the air was filled with an almost stagnant tension and longing.

Today marks the opening of the Feathered Ascension Sect, a giant in the immortal path, and the day it begins accepting disciples. For these young people, one step leads to immortality, while another leads to the mundane world.

Li Chengqian stood in the crowd, wearing a brocade robe with flowing cloud patterns unique to the Yuehua Li family. He wasn't particularly eye-catching; after all, those qualified to come here were either royalty or nobles from various countries, or prodigies from aristocratic families. The title of the number one family in Yuehua Province was merely a qualification for entry here. Their Li family was just the number one family in Yuehua Province of the Great Li Dynasty; in terms of status, that was about it.

He awakened three years ago, and with the unsealing of the wedge, he was completely stunned.

Because of the wedge, all power except for memories disappeared.

The bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, fragments of the Kryptonian bloodline, artificial intelligence... even the benefits originating from the infinite world...

Everything disappeared, or rather, everything was formatted in the face of the world's rules, and once again, he became a blank slate.

All that remains is a relatively strong physical body and a large amount of memories that cannot be directly used.

What frustrated him most was that, apart from the Taiyin Refining Technique and the physical enhancement techniques he obtained from the martial arts world, all other cultivation methods were ineffective.

Oh, right, there's also the Tiger Demon Bone Forging Fist and the Bull Demon Mighty Fist!

It was precisely because of the Taiyin Refining Form Technique and these two boxing styles, combined with the Pine Crane Longevity Fist and a large amount of cultivation resources, that he was able to catch up in the past two years and reach the Divine Might Realm of the eighth level of physical body. With the help of the Li family's power, he had the opportunity to step into the white marble square of this Feathered Immortal Mountain.

Indeed, the Taiyin Refining Technique is truly divine!

"Who would have thought that once I got here, the Taiyin Refining Technique would become my cheat code? My true form, even your 'Heavenly Reward for Diligence' destiny talisman won't let me use it!"

He smiled bitterly in his mind.

Standing in the square, looking at the bustling crowd, he felt calm, even a little bored.

"Huh? Who's that? She's so pretty!"

Suddenly, he saw a figure in white enter the square. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a touch of childishness on her face, but her cool and aloof demeanor made her stand out like a crane among a flock of young boys and girls, dazzling and instantly attracting everyone's attention.

at this time--

"Squeak-"

A heavy, ancient sound broke the stillness of the square, and the vermilion gates of the Taoxian Academy slowly opened.

Two young Taoist priests dressed in water and fire robes walked out from inside. They glanced at the distinguished disciples outside and announced loudly, "Today, the outer disciples' assessment begins. Come in, all of you."

Li Chengqian mingled with the crowd, filed in, and slowly approached the figure in white.

Unfortunately, he was clearly not the only one with this idea. As he walked into the main hall in the courtyard, he not only failed to get closer, but was instead pushed further away.

"Damn, a bunch of perverts!"

As he walked into the main hall, he cursed under his breath.

The main hall is three thousand paces wide and can accommodate ten thousand people. Standing inside, one feels extremely small. Especially at the deepest part of the hall, there is a dark doorway, from which a pair of crimson eyes are faintly visible, staring at everyone and exuding a fierce, domineering, cruel, and bloody aura.

The group of young people waiting to enter the sect were all subtly intimidated by the aura emanating from the portal, and the subsequent process followed the description in the original work.

"Bai Yuanshan, you are the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan in the Great Li Dynasty. You should stand in the center and undergo the assessment."

A disciple of the Feathered Ascension Sect opened the portal, and a divine power puppet rushed out.

Bai Yuanshan walked to the center, rushed towards the puppet, and died.

The flying limbs elicited gasps of alarm.

Next, young men and women were called out one after another, and they mustered up their courage to step forward and enter the center of the hall.

Some persevered and entered the path, covered in wounds and filled with excitement, while others were beaten to a pulp in no time, thrown out like rag dolls, their path to immortality severed.

"Next up, from Longyuan Province, Fang Qingxue!"

Fang Qingxue?
Upon seeing the white-clad girl who stood out from the crowd, Li Chengqian's eyes lit up immediately.

Goddess of Lightning!
No wonder!
In the arena, a girl of only sixteen or seventeen years old, whose face still had a touch of immaturity, already possessed an extraordinary beauty.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were clear and aloof. She stood there, her clear eyes, which were gazing at the dark doorway, without the slightest fear, only an almost indifferent calm.

boom!
With the gates wide open, bloodshed is brewing once more!
A powerful puppet roared and charged out, its crimson eyes instantly locking onto the slender white figure in the arena. It charged forward, its massive fist smashing towards Fang Qingxue. Many people instinctively held their breath, some even turning their heads away in disbelief, as if they were about to witness a tragic end.

Then, Fang Qingxue moved.

Her movements were indescribably light and swift!
Just as the iron fist was about to strike, her figure seemed to transform into a wisp of intangible breeze, or a subtle current, silently slipping away in the blink of an eye.

The steps were mysterious, the movements graceful...

The divine puppet missed its punch, which enraged it even more. It swept its other arm, creating a fierce wind.

A tiny, almost imperceptible spark seemed to flash across Fang Qingxue's clear, cold eyes!
A flash of cold light appeared, and a gleaming short sword appeared in her slender, fair hand. The short sword drew a simple yet sharp trajectory in the air, and accurately struck the wrist joint of the divine puppet that was sweeping towards her!

laugh!
With a soft sound, the incredibly hard puppet wrist, strong enough to shatter fine steel, was shattered by her sword, and a fine iron hand fell to the ground with a faint scorch mark.

The divine puppet's movements froze and became unbalanced for a moment!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fang Qingxue swung her short sword again, and with a flash of lightning, the head of the divine puppet was severed.

The two inner disciples also showed surprise in their eyes, exchanged a glance, and nodded slightly.

"Possessing intelligence, reacting extremely quickly, and having an excellent grasp of timing... he's a good prospect."

"That sword strike... seemed to contain a trace of rare lightning true energy? Strange, how can someone in the Physical Body Realm cultivate the rudimentary form of true energy? Could it be some kind of special physique?"

However, with countless worlds and countless extraordinary talents, the two inner disciples were merely surprised and appreciative, without any further thoughts.

"Fang Qingxue, passed!" the inner disciple announced loudly, his tone tinged with admiration.

Fang Qingxue nodded slightly, her expression still aloof, and slowly walked back to the group of people who had passed the test. Wherever she went, people involuntarily made way for her, and some people's gazes became even more intense.

"Next up, from Yuehua Province, Li Chengqian!"

Li Chengqian stepped forward from the crowd and walked to the center of the hall, whereupon a divine puppet was released.
"Roar!!"

They charged forward with the same ferocity and savagery, roaring as they came!

The puppet's eyes were bloodshot, flashing with a violent light. Its iron fist, as big as a sand bowl, tore through the air with a muffled whistle, and smashed straight at Li Chengqian's face!
Fast, fierce, and ruthless!

Faced with this fierce attack, Li Chengqian merely smiled, and then, his figure moved...

He lacked Fang Qingxue's almost Taoist-like ethereal grace, and also lacked the tension and unease of ordinary martial artists.

His reaction was a battle instinct honed through countless trials and tribulations, ingrained in his very bones!

Just as the fist struck his body, his muscles tensed instantly and then slid like flowing water. He shifted his feet and moved half a foot to the side like a ghost, allowing the deadly iron fist to just barely graz his chest!

The strong wind made his robes flutter, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Roar!" The divine puppet's other arm followed closely, sweeping horizontally with enough power to shatter metal and stone!

A glint flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes, and instead of retreating, he advanced!

Choking!

The sword decorated with moonlight patterns at his waist was suddenly drawn, and a deep, powerful hum emanated from his bones. His boundless blood and energy surged instantly, and his power flowed through his body, concentrating on the blade!
Split Mount Hua with all your strength!!
A simple cut, direct and brutal.

The divine puppet's movements suddenly froze.

Then, a thin line ran straight down from the center line of the divine power puppet.

Bang bang bang——

The divine puppet split in two, with sparks flashing wildly at the break.

Li Chengqian sheathed his longsword, his breathing steady...

Another uproar erupted in the hall!
If Fang Qingxue won by using her exquisite footwork and special internal energy, then Li Chengqian displayed pure and fierce swordsmanship!
Precise and domineering—

With his physical body at the eighth level of divine prowess, he cleaved the divine power puppet in two with a single strike. None of the people undergoing the test were confident that they could do the same.

The inner disciple in charge of recording gave Li Chengqian a deep look and said loudly:
"Li Chengqian, approved!"

Li Chengqian remained calm, bowed slightly, and slowly walked back to the crowd of passersby.
