Chapter 220 Ascension Peak

Ascension Peak.

Six thousand years ago, a wandering immortal from the Great Luo Immortal Sect, Xu Zhou, suddenly attained enlightenment here, refined his emptiness and merged with the Dao, and attained the status of a true immortal. He broke through the void and ascended to heaven, thus leaving behind the name Ascension Peak.

Because this peak was originally located in the territory of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, but also belonged to the place where scattered immortals of the Great Luo Immortal Sect attained enlightenment, over time, this mountain range of 100,000 li became a place jointly governed by the two parties.

Furthermore, because Xu Zhenxian's eldest disciple, Ji Mingyue, survived the tribulation of lightning and attained the status of a Yuan Shen Loose Immortal, he founded a sect here, named the Taiqing Sword Sect, and this place also became a famous Daoist site of the Daluo Immortal Sect.

The one who purchased this eighth-realm magic treasure was Ji Qingfeng, the most outstanding descendant of the Ji Mingyue clan.

When Li Xian arrived at Shengxian Peak on his sword, he saw that the mountain was bustling with people and boats.

On one side of the mountain peak, there was a huge immortal city that stretched out into the distance. Li Xian looked as far as he could, but the end of the immortal city was still nowhere in sight, even after traveling thousands of miles.

"The first city in the south of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, the Immortal City of Rolling Clouds."

Juanyun City is located at the head of Juanyun Immortal Mountain, one of the largest mountain ranges in the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty. It contains an array that can draw out the earthly evil energy within Juanyun Immortal Mountain by using the power of the earth veins. This has incredible and profound effects on cultivators' ability to condense their inner energy and refine their evil energy.

Whether the Great Immortal Xu of the Great Luo Immortal Sect attained enlightenment and realized the Dao by chance at Ascension Peak, or whether the Great Luo Immortal Sect coveted the land veins of the Rolling Cloud Immortal Mountain and wanted to seize it for themselves, is a matter of opinion.

Li Xian arrived on his sword. Even though he was still a thousand miles away from the Taiqing Sword Sect, a beam of light greeted him head-on, transforming into a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing.

"Haha, is this Li Xian, the number one cultivator in the Eastern Continent who overpowered the elders of the Wuji Star Palace, the fairy of the Dayu Immortal Dynasty, and the true disciple of the Yaoyang Immortal Sect, right in front of me? Elder Xu Shiping, stationed outside, greets you."

His aura was pure and flawless, with a hint of golden immortality, clearly indicating that he was a powerful True Person who had cultivated an immortal golden core.

Elder Xu.

Li Xian said something.

At the same time, he was somewhat surprised: "I did defeat several cultivators in the Ascension Tower, but what is this claim about being the number one cultivator in the Eastern Continent?"

“Cultivators at the Taiyin True Essence and Taiyang True Fire realms have always been called Great Cultivators, just one step away from the title of True Person. True Transmission Li displayed his divine might in Ascending Immortal City, suppressing two Golden Core cultivators with his sixth realm cultivation, including Guan Canghai, an elder of the Wuji Star Palace, who was at the peak of the Golden Core realm. His strength is so great that it shakes the past and present. He ranks first among the many Great Cultivators in the Eastern Continent, and he truly deserves the title!”

Xu Shiping said with a smile.

Li Xian was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Is this the best in the Eastern Continent?
but……

Being number one is one thing, but why add "number one in the Eastern Continent"?

"According to Elder Xu, there is someone outside of the Eastern Continent whose combat strength in the Six Realms True Fire surpasses mine?"

Li asked curiously.

"This one……"

Xu Shiping didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only say, "It seems that the person who spread this rumor has not left the Eastern Continent and is unaware of the cultivation situation outside the Eastern Continent. He made these remarks out of caution."

Upon hearing this, Li Xian seemed to have an idea.

He had talked with Xuanling that in the current True Immortal World, the Nine Great Immortal Sects dominate the world, while the remaining Four Immortal Dynasties, Six Demonic Sects, and other forces are all much weaker than the Nine Great Immortal Sects.

However, among the nine great immortal sects, the Nine Heavens Holy Land stands out, surpassing the other eight sects by a wide margin. It even subdued the Divine Firmament Sect and sought to unify the True Immortal Great World.

This faction might have some even more amazing sixth-realm experts.

pity……

The Great Luo Immortal Sect and the Nine Heavens Holy Land are not from the same continent and are too far apart.

He wouldn't waste time and effort going there just to fight someone for no reason.

"I'm so grateful to Master Li for personally making this trip to deliver this eighth-level magic weapon. With this sword, Senior Brother's strength will surely be enhanced, and he will be able to penetrate even deeper into the area where the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends meet."

Xu Shiping smiled and said, "Master Li, please come in."

Li nodded.

The two then quickly headed towards the main peak of Shengxian Peak.

However, after flying for a while, Li Xian looked around and seemed to notice something. He said with some surprise, "The Taiqing Sword Sect has really developed well in recent years. It is full of talents, especially the fifth and sixth realm cultivators... I have seen no less than dozens of people with just a casual glance along the way."

Xu Shiping was taken aback: "Li Zhen sent you here, not because of the matter of the connection between heaven and earth?"

"Where heaven and earth meet?"

Mr. Li was puzzled.

After a moment, he seemed to realize something and scanned the identity token with his spiritual sense.

But then I noticed that another message had appeared here sometime earlier.

"Your Majesty Xuanling."

At that moment, he also heard Xu Shiping's respectful greeting.

Xuanling's figure also appeared at this moment.

"Li Zhen's transmission was very fast. His escape technique was unparalleled in the Dao Realm. Even compared to those Nascent Soul Immortals who had shed the shackles of flesh and blood, their escape techniques did not have much of an advantage over those transmitted by Li Zhen."

The spirit of the immortal artifact, who seemed to be omnipresent wherever it was within the territory of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, said with a smile.

"I underestimated the speed at which Li Zhen sent the message. I suppose Sect Leader Ji hasn't had time to inform you all about this yet."

Xuanling apologized to Xu Shiping.

Xu Shiping quickly replied, "Your Majesty Xuanling, you are too kind."

He smiled and said, "However, I can more or less guess why Li Zhenchuan is coming at this time. He's here for the magnificent sight of heaven and earth meeting, isn't he?"

"Yes."

Xuanling nodded slightly: "Then I'll trouble Master Xu to introduce Master Li to you." "It would be my honor."

Xu Shiping gave a slight bow.

Xuanling's figure vanished again.

After Xuanling left, Xu Shiping couldn't help but feel a little envious of how much Xuanling valued Li Xian.

However, considering Li Xian's already proven "unparalleled" prowess, it is only natural that His Majesty Xuanling would pay close attention to him.

After all, this is a seed of immortals who has the potential to refine their essence and attain the Dao, and eventually achieve the status of a true immortal.

He then turned to Li Xian with a smile and said, “Master Li is probably quite puzzled right now, so let me explain it to you slowly.”

Li nodded.

As Xu Shiping led Li Xian toward Ji Qingfeng's cultivation place, he said, "Li Zhenchuan, you must have heard about the matter of the earth veins of Juanyun Mountain, right?"

"Yes, it is said that he is the ancestor of all mountains in the Great Yu Dynasty."

Li Xian nodded slightly.

"The first peak of the Rolling Cloud Mountains is the Ascension Peak, which already enjoys a superior geographical position. Six thousand years ago, the ancestor of my Taiqing Sword Sect comprehended the Dao and ascended to immortality on the Ascension Peak. At the moment of his ascension, pure Yang immortal energy descended and connected with the Rolling Clouds' earth veins, converging with each other. This extraordinary sight was captured by the Supreme Elder of the Immortal Sect who was protecting the Dharma at the time, and he set up an array to stabilize it."

Xu Shiping smiled and said, "Every sixty years, the earth veins of Juanyun Mountain change, the earth energy surges, and the formation will also be activated, drawing down the pure yang power from the heavens and turning it into lightning that falls down. Although this power is not as good as the true pure yang immortal energy, it is still extremely pure and yang."

He pointed to the rolling mountains not far away: "When it comes into contact with the pure Yin energy of the 'Curling Cloud Earth Vein,' which is known as the ancestor of all mountains, it forms a connection between heaven and earth and a convergence of Yin and Yang. This has incredible benefits for cultivators in comprehending the convergence of Yin and Yang and condensing the Golden Elixir."

Upon hearing this, Li Xian suddenly understood.

"The convergence of Yin and Yang".

This is to pave the way for his Golden Elixir Path.

"The area where heaven and earth meet and yin and yang intersect can not only help people understand the mysteries of yin and yang, but also the lightning formed by the pure yang power in the sky has a trace of the wonder of tribulation. If cultivators can delve into it, it is as if they have experienced the power of tribulation in advance, and they will have a greater chance of passing tribulation in the future."

Xu Shiping said, "Therefore, every year in the Jiazi year, when the earth veins of Juanyun Mountain surge, it is a grand event for Juanyun Immortal City and my Ascension Peak. Countless disciples from the Daluo Immortal Sect, the Dayu Immortal Dynasty, and even the Yaoyang Immortal Sect, the Wuliang Immortal Dynasty, and the Wuji Star Palace will come to experience Yin and Yang."

He smiled and said, "That's why you see so many True Fire Realm cultivators today."

Li nodded.

He had only glanced at the area north of Ascension Peak and already saw no fewer than a hundred True Fire Realm cultivators; the actual number was likely much higher.

Based on this, we can deduce...

Between Ascension Peak and Rolling Cloud City, there must be tens of thousands of True Fire Realm cultivators who have come here.

After a moment, he seemed to realize something: "This should be a matter between the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty and the Great Luo Immortal Sect, so why are people from the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect, the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, and the Limitless Star Palace also here?"

"This leads to another matter..."

Xu Shiping glanced at Ascension Peak: "This is the place where the founder of my Taiqing Sword Sect attained enlightenment, and it should rightfully belong to my Taiqing Sword Sect. However, the Dayu Immortal Dynasty was unwilling to give it up and even dragged in the Yaoyang Immortal Sect, the Wuliang Immortal Dynasty, and the Wuji Star Palace to put pressure on us. In the end... the five parties negotiated and agreed that the Daluo Immortal Sect could use Ascension Peak for its own purposes, but whenever heaven and earth intersected, each of them could send disciples to go deep into the formation and comprehend the mysteries of the Yin-Yang convergence."

Li nodded.

The inside story...

He knew without even having to guess.

but……

"Tens of thousands of True Fire cultivators have all entered the formation?"

"Of course I can't."

Xu Shiping said, "Tens of thousands of True Fire Realm cultivators have ventured deep into this place without disturbing Yin and Yang, causing all the mysteries of this place to be lost? The group agreed that each time the formation is opened, only thirty-six people can enter, and the method of entry will be determined by competition."

"A competition?"

"Correct."

Xu Shiping smiled and said, "With Li Zhenchuan's reputation as the number one cultivator in the Eastern Continent, he will surely be able to secure a place among them..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed something, stood up, and listened intently.

And Mr. Li...

With his keen sword intent, he also sensed a slight fluctuation of divine sense.

Soon, Xu Shiping said to Li Xian, "Master Li, my master has invited you. Please come with me."

"Sect Leader Ji?"

Li Xian listened and was also somewhat curious.

Ji Mingyue, a wandering immortal with a primordial spirit.

Although he had experienced the power of wandering immortals and human immortals in the ancient burial ground, those immortals had all passed away. This was the first time he had ever seen a truly living wandering immortal.

Ok……

The spirit of a weapon, like the Xuanling, doesn't count.

Soon, led by Xu Shiping, the two headed straight for a main hall.

Upon entering the hall, before anyone was seen, a voice came from inside.

"Master Li, I intend to secure all thirty-six spots for the Heaven and Earth Connection competition for my Great Luo Immortal Sect. This requires your assistance. I wonder if you have the courage to sweep away all obstacles in the competition?"
