My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 145 Ascension is a hoax! The lower realm is ominous, and it has come to plunder the beings of my upper realm once more (Part 2)
Aside from the area around the inaccessible Yinming Mountain, the Yinming Land is largely similar to other realms, with cities, mountains, rivers, and forests. The only difference is that the creatures in the Yinming Land tend to be somewhat eerie.

For example, people in the underworld have both human and ghost forms!
Humans have a lifespan in the Yang realm, while ghosts have a lifespan in the Yin realm.

In other words, people in the underworld do not die immediately after their physical death, but are resurrected as ghosts and live a new life.

If one embarks on the path of cultivation, one can transform their ghostly form into a guardian spirit. Some guardian spirits of cultivators in the underworld possess strength that even exceeds the norm.

Because it allows one to grasp the power of heaven and earth even in the external world.

Although such cultivation would directly damage one's foundation by wielding the power of heaven and earth, such methods are still astonishing.

The reason Bai Chijing knew so much about it was because the person who opened up a path to that strange and mysterious place was a cultivator from the Yinming Land.

This person's cultivation level is not high; he is only at the upper realm of the outer world.

Looking at this person, Bai Chijing couldn't help but feel ashamed of his own small score.

"Don't look at him like that. A guardian spirit like him will prevent him from attaining immortality." At this moment, a clear and soft laugh rang out from Bai Chijing's shoulder.

At this moment, a little girl who looked like a delicate porcelain doll was sitting on Bai Chijing's shoulder.

Her features were delicate, with slender eyebrows curved like a crescent moon, a small, slightly upturned nose, and a pair of eyes as clear as autumn glass, seemingly reflecting the world with a faint light and shadow... because she couldn't move.

This little girl is none other than Ling Jia!

When she said she couldn't move at all, she really meant she couldn't do any movements.

However, since Ling Jia is an immortal, only her true form is restricted; her projections, inspired forms, and so on are unrestricted.

In other words, only her true form is allowed to go to the place she is going to; otherwise, she would not have come to find Bai Chijing.

“That place can no longer be opened because of the thing blocking the ascension entrance. They don’t want to dig it up, and I don’t want to dig it up either…” Although Ling Jia was like a rag doll at the moment, it didn’t stop her from transmitting her thoughts to Bai Chijing.

Hearing the description "blocking the ascension portal," Bai Chijing felt that his guess was becoming increasingly accurate. An ascension portal that could be opened at any time should not be described as "ascension" under any circumstances.

Although under normal circumstances, those who ascend first usually prevent those who follow from ascending.

But what's happening right now is clearly abnormal.

So he asked, "What happened? Did it get back on its own?"

"No, it was your Corrosive Body that broke through that hole after you ran over there." First Ling Jia answered truthfully. If she weren't unable to move at the moment, this little girl would definitely have reached out her little hand and patted Bai Chijing's shoulder as encouragement.

"Corrosion?"

This was no secret to the old monsters of the Underworld, but for Bai Chijing, it was undoubtedly the first time he had ever heard of it.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jia offered no explanation.

He simply passed on all the information about the Eclipse Flower to Bai Chijing.

Bai Chijing finally understood what was going on, and his brows furrowed. According to the information the little girl had given him, after he refined the Time-Eroding Mystic Flower, he would face a life-or-death crisis. Between him and the eroding body, only he could survive.

But the biggest problem here is, how did this corrosive body suddenly go to "ascend"?

Could it be that this ascension is a true ascension?

Bai Chijing pondered deeply.

However, he gave up pondering it after a short while, because he needed to catch up with the main group. After all, the person who pioneered this path was only a cultivator at the upper realm of the outer world.

Although this cultivator from the Netherworld has guardian spirits whose abilities are unpredictable, his cultivation level is ultimately too low.

At this moment, Bai Chijing stepped onto a golden cloud, and then instantly arrived in a dark place.

Upon arriving here, he felt immense pressure.

Because there were many hazy, slender figures around him, his true immortal abilities were compressed to the extreme, unable to be displayed at all.

A strange sense of terror spread directly to Bai Chijing at this moment.

This is because too many beings, transcending the realm of otherworldly existence, have gathered here. These beings have not appeared in person; their mere presence has caused this place to wither and fall into silence.

But the oppressive feeling dissipated the next second.

Because wisps of dark aura emanated from Bai Chijing's body, directly reflecting on his blessed land. Thus, a blessed land shaped like a young girl appeared openly and legitimately.

For a moment, Bai Chijing wondered if it was just his imagination, but he thought he heard someone gasp, followed by someone trying to suppress their laughter.

However, these strange sounds soon disappeared, because a being from another world, above the mortal realm, began to enter the ascension portal.

Bai Chijing wanted to be the last to enter, but because several blurry figures appeared behind him, he had to go into the ascension gate first.

Although the place was dark, the ascension point was very bright.

It's like a gap suddenly appearing in a traditional Chinese ink painting, and this gap is directly facing the sunlight.

Bai Chijing stepped inside and clearly felt the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, the tribulations and other things that would appear during ascension never appeared.

I don't know if it's because there's a different world here, not on earth, and that too many people have come here.

Soon, Bai Chijing passed through the "gap" and saw the scene above the so-called "ascension gate." The first thing that caught his eye was a series of enormous, star-like objects.

The ability of "Viewing the Universe in a Dust," one of the three foundational paths to immortality, took effect immediately, allowing Bai Chijing to know exactly what he was seeing.

Tiansi's body!

For a moment, Bai Chijing was utterly astonished. He had always thought that the Heavenly Divisions were in the heavens above the human realm of Yaotian, but he never imagined that these Heavenly Divisions existed above this "Ascension Gate".

Then, Bai Chijing began to understand why this place was called "Ascension Pass".

These descriptions do indeed match the meaning of "ascension".

Then, Bai Chijing keenly noticed that among the star-like objects in the sky, there was a spherical object that had a distant connection with him.

In an instant, Bai Chijing understood which Celestial Master it was.

Serpent Constellation Celestial Controller!

This is a term from a very long time ago. After all, Bai Chijing has only been cultivating for a few years. He looked at the Serpent Heavenly Official, his eyes flickering slightly.

Because at the very moment the Serpent Destiny resonated with him, it conveyed a message to him—he could go and see the true Heavenly Dao, and thereby wash away the ominous aura from his body.

Ominous? Bai Chijing couldn't help but look at the blurry, hazy figures that hadn't yet gone far away. Could it be that these beings didn't reveal their true forms because it was ominous?

Unfortunately, these beings, who were otherworldly and beyond human comprehension, showed no intention of interacting with each other. They glanced up at each other and then chose a direction to leave.

As these hazy, indistinct figures departed, Bai Chijing seemed to have a hallucination, perhaps even seeing scenes of vast landscapes receding into the distance.

It was an incredibly real world.

Above the blue sky, below the thick earth, the scenery between heaven and earth is diverse: there are floating fairy islands, there are pillars of heaven, there are condensed winds to form a wind realm, and there are creations that open up worlds within the void...

At this moment, Bai Chijing saw all sorts of worlds.

These realms, without exception, are dominated by the path of immortality.

Suddenly, Bai Chijing seemed to understand something, but upon closer reflection, he couldn't even articulate what he had understood. It was like trying to grasp a handful of quicksand in the wind; the more he tried to hold on, the faster the sand would drift away with the wind.

Therefore, Bai Chijing realized that this was his current level of immortal cultivation, and he was not qualified to comprehend it.

“Those are the current Heavenly Dao!” Ling Jia’s voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing was startled for a moment, but he quickly recovered and asked, "Mother, these seniors shouldn't be the true Heavenly Dao, right?"

"It's all the way of Heaven that is inherently human..." Ling Jia, unusually, didn't offer much explanation, as if he was wary of something, or perhaps he was deliberately keeping quiet.

It's as if this is a secret that everyone must abide by once they reach a certain level.

Bai Chijing's mind raced, and then he asked, "Mother, what about Yaotian this time..."

What he wanted to ask was whether Yao Tian, ​​who was originally a human being and coveted the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers, had also come and was among them.

However, to Bai Chijing's surprise, Ling Jia said, "Because a very special immortal suddenly ran over to Yaotian, the Heavenly Dao dares not move now, lest it be unable to return after leaving."

Upon hearing this information, Bai Chijing was naturally startled, and then instantly realized who that special immortal was.

Zhou Shuyue and the immortal soul within her!
After all, looking at the entire Yaotian, these two are the most unique. Moreover, the changes in the entire Yaotian are most likely related to these two.

So Bai Chijing asked a question he really wanted to know: "What is the origin of this special immortal?"

“It should have come from here.” The clear, soft voice said this, but after saying that, it seemed to pause for a moment before adding, “Gong Qinghuang is here too. Although she thinks she’s hiding very well, I’ve already found her.”

However, upon hearing Ling Jia say this, Bai Chijing was naturally stunned, because he did not know who this "Gong Qinghuang" was.

Fortunately, this little girl didn't like being a riddle teller, so after saying this, she transmitted the information about Gong Qinghuang into Bai Chijing's mind, and thus Bai Chijing also learned about this "Gong Qinghuang".

Incidentally, he finally learned the origin of his enemy in the heavens, the "fake founder" of Tujian Mountain.

Too!

Six thousand years ago, in the mythical world of Yao, an unparalleled powerhouse emerged and cultivated to the point of becoming an immortal in just a few years.

After that, he killed countless celestial beings.

Originally, Tai'a was to continue to be invincible in this mortal world, until the appearance of Gong Qinghuang, who "converted" Tai'a's malevolent energy and then guided him to ascend to heaven to return to his rightful place.

From then on, the mortal Tai Sui deity Tai'a disappeared, and in his place was a near-heavenly Daoist in the celestial palace, whose strength was comparable to that of the Dao Lord and others.

And right now, it just so happens to be a special time when a great mythological era is about to begin.

Bai Chijing's many doubts were finally answered, but at the same time he had more questions, because after Gong Qinghuang "crossed over" Tai'a, she had achieved perfect merit. Not only did she take a big step on the path to becoming a Golden Immortal, but she also "ascended" to this world where the Heavenly Bureau existed without going through the "Ascension Gate".

Is the benefit of "crossing over" Tai'a really that great?
Or is it that the benefits of such salvation can only be enjoyed by a select few? If others were to perform this salvation, would they not only not receive any benefits, but might also get into trouble?
As Bai Chijing pondered this, he suddenly felt a lightness on his shoulder.

This surprised Bai Chijing.

He initially thought Ling Jia had fallen because she wasn't sitting properly, but upon closer inspection, he realized she shouldn't be so unreliable. However, Bai Chijing still needed to do some "corresponding work."

He searched around and called out, but received no response. He then prepared to follow the guidance of the Serpent Constellation Heavenly Official to meet the true Heavenly Dao.

He, Bai, has cultivated for so many years, yet he has never comprehended the true Dao of Heaven!
At this moment, Bai Chijing was actually a little emotionally agitated.

But his pleasant mood was quickly shattered by a group of people who suddenly surrounded him from all directions. They were a group of people dressed in silver-white armor. This group of people seemed to be the legendary heavenly soldiers. They flew in in a dark mass, riding on the auspicious clouds that Bai Chijing liked the most, and surrounded him in the middle with an array.

Then, several tall figures, also dressed in armor, stepped out. These people seemed to be the legendary heavenly generals, and as soon as they appeared, they enveloped Bai Chijing with a fierce and murderous aura.

This is a plan to kill Bai Chijing.

Seeing this scene, Bai Chijing naturally had no intention of taking action, because he was completely confused, so he directly released the True Immortal power of "Heartscape Outer Cover".

In an instant, Bai Chijing walked out of the encirclement formation of the group of immortals.

At the same time, he sensed Ling Jia's presence and quickly went over to pick up the little girl.

The little girl really did fall without even realizing it.

However, Ling Jia didn't blame Bai Chijing, because although her clear and soft voice was full of embarrassment and anger, it wasn't directed at Bai Chijing: "Gong Qinghuang, that old woman!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing realized that he must have been affected by some kind of magic to separate from Ling Jia.

This made his eyes flicker slightly.

Then, a moment later, Bai Chijing flicked his sleeve.

Unusually, he did not use the power of the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture." Instead, with his incomparably powerful Earth Immortal strength, he forcefully severed and reversed the cause and effect between this group of people who appeared to be heavenly soldiers and generals and the encirclement formation they had prepared, with a flick of his sleeve.

At this moment, the encirclement formation had already been activated.

This formation truly lived up to its reputation as one specifically designed to surround and kill immortals. In just an instant, the group of people who appeared to be heavenly soldiers and generals were almost all dead.

One after another, shattered immortal souls fled in terror.

"Ascension is a scam!"

"Run!"

"We've been tricked!"

"That ominous lower realm is here again, plundering the beings of my upper realm!"

These celestial spirits couldn't help but shout and scream.
