Chapter 257: Walking Alone on the Ascension Platform, Jade Dew and Rain Come

Zhongzhou, Qingyun Sect.

Among the five peaks of Qingyun Sect, each peak has its own secret place.

Cangjian Peak is the Jiange, Danyang Peak is the Earth Fire, Wanfu Peak is the Seventy-two Earthly Fiery Valley, and Kangding Peak is the Nine Dragons Cave.

The secret place of Qingyun Peak is the Ascension Platform.

According to rumors, the Ascension Platform is a rare object brought from the fairyland by Qingyun Immortal, the founder of Qingyun Sect.

Achieving a breakthrough in realm in such a place often has unexpected results.

Throughout the history of Qingyun Sect, there have been a total of four immortals who have overcome tribulations and become immortals.

Without exception, these four immortals all performed this operation on the ascension platform.

Combined with the legendary origin of the Ascension Platform, the Ascension Platform is not only a secret place in the Qingyun Sect, but also a spiritual symbol of the Qingyun Sect.

Every disciple of Qingyun Sect is proud to be able to step onto the ascension platform.

But it is not easy to achieve this step.

Because the lowest standard for stepping onto the ascension platform is to break through to the Nascent Soul stage during the Golden Core stage.

Since the establishment of Qingyun Sect, there has never been an example of a breakthrough on the ascension platform by someone below the Golden Core level.

This has nothing to do with rules or not.

It is purely a breakthrough below the Jindan stage, and there is no need for such a rare item as the Ascension Platform. It is a waste of talent.

But today, this tradition that has lasted for tens of thousands of years will soon be broken.

"Strange, is there any major breakthrough in our sect that is about to happen recently?"

"Otherwise, why did I see someone setting up this ascension platform these days?"

A disciple from Qingyun Peak looked at several monks from Wanfu Peak who were fiddling with the ascension platform, and immediately asked his companions around him.

In response, his companion shook his head and said, "I just came out of quarantine recently, so I don't know much about it."

Although neither of them knew which sect elder was going to make a breakthrough.

But that doesn't stop them from being curious about it.

After all, the ascension platform is only opened once every hundred years.

Every time it opens, someone is destined to reach the Nascent Soul stage, or a higher level.

Being able to watch such a scene is not only an opportunity for low-level monks like them to broaden their horizons.

It can also help them understand the future direction of cultivation.

There are many benefits.

Therefore, the news that someone was going to make a breakthrough on the ascension platform quickly spread throughout the Qingyun Sect.

Many people who were originally in seclusion took the initiative to come out.

Among them there are even some Yuanying stage elders who never leave their caves all year round.

But the strange thing is that starting from the day when this rumor appeared, seven days have passed, and no one knows who is going to make a breakthrough on this ascension platform.

It was as if someone deliberately suppressed the news to prevent too many people from knowing about it.

Therefore, some people have rumored that this might be an elder in the sect who has reached the Spirit Transformation Stage and is beginning to break through to the Mahayana stage in order to ascend to become an immortal.

This news was also recognized by most of the Qingyun Sect disciples.

After all, only a breakthrough of this kind could make the entire sect so alert.

You should know that on the tenth day, not only the main peak of Qingyun was closed.

The entire Qingyun Sect is closed to visitors and no outsiders are allowed to enter at this time.

Such an action undoubtedly makes people think a lot.

Other sects were also speculating whether this time a cultivator from the Qingyun Sect who had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage was trying to reach a higher realm.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the Qingyun Sect to make such a big fuss.

But what they didn't expect was that everything actually started from a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage preparing to reach the Golden Core Stage...

Qingyun Sect, Danyang Peak.

Lu Chen sat cross-legged in his cave, meditating quietly and regulating his breathing.

It is said that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.

Lu Chen had actually been preparing for this Jindan breakthrough for a long time.

Basically everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared.

Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to try his best to keep his spirit and energy in the best condition.

Swoosh! As a flying sword arrived at his cave, Lu Chen opened his eyes immediately.

I saw that it was a sword for sending messages.

When the sword came in front of Lu Chen, the letter tied to the sword automatically fell off and turned into a few lines of text floating in front of Lu Chen.

[Everything is ready, you can set off to the Ascension Platform. 】

The message sword did not contain much information, but it made Lu Chen stand up immediately.

After waiting for ten days, everything was finally ready.

However, before going to the ascension platform on the main peak, Lu Chen still needs to do some other work.

He came to the entrance of his own cave.

At this moment, a bronze tripod filled with incense ashes is placed here.

And around this bronze tripod, there are many tributes placed.

Lu Chen took out three incense sticks from his storage bag and said respectfully to the sky: "God bless you, I, Lu Chen, a true disciple of Qingyun Sect's Danyang Peak, have applied for Dan-forming today."

"My disciple has been practicing for nine years and has fortunately reached the state of perfect foundation building."

"However, I know that my achievements are three-tenths from man and seven-tenths from heaven. Without the blessing of heaven, I would never have been able to achieve such success."

"At this moment of Dan formation, this disciple sincerely burns three sticks of incense and asks for the will of Heaven."

"If the incense has two shortcomings, it means that the disciple's personal morality is lacking. It is not appropriate to break through. Let's stop today's matter."

"The fragrance is normal, which means that Heaven has blessed me and allowed me to make a breakthrough today. I am extremely grateful."

"If I am lucky enough to succeed in forming the elixir, then this is the mercy of heaven and the work of heaven."

"If the Dan-forming process fails, it is because the disciple's foundation is insufficient and he is too ambitious. It is not God's fault."

"I hope that Heaven will remember my past merits and use these three incense sticks to inform me of Heaven's will. I... am deeply grateful."

After saying that, Lu Chen respectfully inserted the three incense sticks in his hand into the cauldron and waited patiently.

What he did was exactly the same as what he did when he first broke through to the foundation.

All I want is peace of mind.

When the three incense sticks burned out, Lu Chen did not see any bad signs of two short and one long.

Seeing this, Lu Chen bowed respectfully to the heavens again.

"Thank God for your favor, I, the disciple, bow in gratitude."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen stepped out of the cave and flew towards the main peak of Qingyun Sect on his sword.

At the same time, around the ascension platform of Qingyun Peak.

Although Qingyun Peak is currently closed.

But this does not mean that there is no one on the mountain.

On the contrary, all those who can appear in Qingyun Peak now are important figures in Qingyun Sect.

Among them, all the five peak masters of the current Qingyun Sect were present.

In addition to these five people, there were also three old men.

Among these three people, two of them were carrying long swords, and it was obvious at a glance that they were the sword-cultivating elders of Cangjian Peak.

The remaining person was about 1.6 meters tall, hunched over, unkempt, and his clothes were stained with all kinds of paint, as if he had just come out of a dyeing room.

But such an unprepossessing old man was standing in the center of the crowd at this moment.

Even the current Qingyun Sect's headmaster, Gu Liqing, treated him with great respect.

"Grandmaster Qing, I didn't expect you to come here in person. It's us who are not well prepared."

Hearing Gu Liqing's words, Qing Yi, the ancestor of Wan Fu Peak who was in the Spiritualization Stage, smiled and waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I also heard when I was a guest in other sects that our sect seemed to have a master who returned to the Ascension Platform today."

"But you youngsters kept silent about the person who came on stage, so I returned to the sect out of curiosity to take a look."

At this point, Qing Yi seemed to have thought of something, and said with some emotion: "What I didn't expect was that I thought the person who would take the stage this time would be one of my only remaining fellow disciples, but it turned out to be a junior who had just entered the sect not long ago. I was caught off guard."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Xiao Gu, is that disciple named Lu Chen really as amazing as you say?"

Gu Liqing nodded and replied, "Yes, ancestor. Although that disciple has been a disciple for less than ten years, he has already completed the foundation-building process."

"More importantly, it is not just an ordinary foundation building, but a first-grade Dao Immortal Foundation."

"The ancestor should know that people with extraordinary talents like this cannot be judged by common sense."

“Although he is only undergoing the Golden Core Tribulation, what he has done this time is unprecedented in our sect, not to mention in the entire Qingyun Realm.”

"After all, before him, no one had ever been able to master multiple Hedao Realm sword domains during the Foundation Establishment Period, let alone integrate them into their own golden elixir to form elixir patterns."

“If he can really break through successfully today, it won’t be an exaggeration to call him the greatest golden elixir of all time.”

"oh?"

After hearing what Gu Liqing said, Qing Yi became even more curious about that disciple.

Although he had learned some information about Lu Chen from Sikong Ming of Wanfu Peak before.

But maybe it’s because Lu Chen is not from Wanfu Peak.

As a result, Sikong Ming didn't believe what he said too much.

For example, he only knew that Lu Chen wanted to use multiple Hedao realm sword domains as elixir patterns to form a supreme golden elixir.

But he didn't know how many sword domains of the Hedao realm Lu Chen would use, and he didn't know that Lu Chen was actually a foundation-building cultivator of the first-grade Dao immortal foundation.

Originally, he thought that Lu Chen's use of the Hedao Realm Sword Domain to condense Danwen was too risky and the success rate was extremely low.

But after learning about Lu Chen's specific situation, Qing Yi suddenly felt that Lu Chen might really be able to accomplish that unprecedented feat.

After all, whether it is the first-grade Dao Immortal Base or the Foundation Establishment Period, one can master multiple Dao-he Realm sword domains.

These can all be called miracles.

So many miracles have happened to Lu Chen, so if one more happened, it wouldn't seem so difficult to understand.

When he thought of this, Qing Yi immediately looked curiously in a certain direction outside the ascension platform.

Soon, a figure fell from the sky.

Came in front of Qing Yi and others.

"Disciple Lu Chen pays respects to the peak masters, elders, and...ancestor."

"Hmm? You know me?"

Lu Chen shook his head and replied, "Disciple has never met the ancestor before."

"Oh? Then how do you know that I am different from Xiao Gu and the others? With your current level of cultivation, there shouldn't be much difference between me and them."

Facing Qing Yi's question, Lu Chen thought for a while and replied, "...That's because when the disciple saw the ancestor, it was as if he saw a whole world, a lineage of his own."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

Among them even included Qing Yi, an old ancestor in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Because they didn't expect that Lu Chen could actually see the difference between a Spirit Transformation cultivator and an Infant Soul cultivator with his Foundation Establishment cultivation.

You know, in a sense, as a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage who has transformed his body into the Tao, Qing Yi himself is actually equivalent to a world.

Just trying to see this point, let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even a Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to see it.

Because that requires an extraordinary perception of the Tao.

Otherwise, outsiders would not be able to see the difference between the Dao of the Spirit Transformation Stage and the Dao of ordinary cultivators.

"Interesting, really interesting."

Qing Yi looked at Lu Chen, his eyes lit up immediately as if he had discovered some rare treasure.

Being looked at like this by a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator, Lu Chen was shocked even though he knew that the other party had no ill will towards him.

But I still feel a little nervous.

After all, facing a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator, even if he used all his tricks, he would eventually be crushed to death like an ant.

Qing Yi's scrutiny did not last long. After looking at Lu Chen for a moment, a brush suddenly appeared in Qing Yi's hand.

"I haven't met a junior as interesting as you in a long time. Since you're here, I might as well give you a big gift."

"How much you can gain from it depends on your own luck."

As he spoke, Qingyi began to wave the brush in his hand.

The next second, the clouds of the entire Qingyun Peak seemed to be stirred by Qing Yi and began to surge continuously.

In a trance, everyone seemed to see a giant in the sky holding a brush, using clouds as ink and mountains and rivers as pictures, and began to paint.

As Qing Yi continued to move the brush in his hand, a huge heavenly palace appeared silently right above Qingyun Peak.

The fairy palace was shrouded in clouds and mist, and looked magnificent.

There are fairies dancing and cranes flying inside.

This fairy palace is so real that people can't tell the difference between true and false, and they are intoxicated.

Looking at everyone who was intoxicated by the scenery of the Fairy Palace, Qing Yi put down his pen and smiled, "Although I have never been to the Fairyland, my thousand years of travel have allowed me to see many scenes of fairies traveling in the mortal world. I was lucky enough to see the beauty of this Fairy Palace in a fairy ruins."

"Although I learn Taoism through painting, it is still difficult for me to copy the beauty of the real fairy palace."

"Although this fairy palace is not the same as that fairy palace, it also has some of the effects of 'a fairy patting the head'."

"Come on, let me see your limit."

"If you can really break through successfully this time, the 'immortals' sitting in the Immortal Palace will definitely not be stingy with their gifts to you."

As they were talking, drops of rain fell from the sky and hit everyone on Qingyun Peak.

And the moment they came into contact with the rain, everyone was shocked.

Because this is not rain at all, but highly condensed spiritual jade dew.

Bathing in such spiritual rain, even if they do nothing, their physical fitness and cultivation will improve to a certain extent.

And this is just the passive effect when the "Immortal Palace Map" appears.

In addition to this amazing spiritual rain and jade dew, Lu Chen was also surprised to find that a special message appeared on his game panel.

[You have encountered a special adventure... a gift from the Asgard]

[Effect: Based on the quality of the golden elixir you achieved this time, you will receive special rewards including but not limited to experience points, spells, magic weapons, etc....]

【Note: This is a special encounter and cannot be replicated. 】
