After experiencing forty-nine lightning strikes in a row, Luo Fanjin could no longer hold on. The golden protective shield was crumbling. Fortunately, the thunder stopped at this time.
Then, a ray of light descended from the sky, illuminating where Luo Fanjin was.
Bathed in such a rosy glow, Luo Fanjin felt that all the fatigue from resisting the thunder tribulation just now had disappeared.
Feeling the golden energy in her dantian, Luo Fanjin knew that she had succeeded.
The thunder tribulation has passed, and she has finally become a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage. This moment is her first step on the path of cultivating immortals.
"I have embarked on the path of cultivating immortals as a mortal. From now on, all causal ties with this world are severed. I hope all my subjects will obey the law, and the peaceful world will last at least ten thousand years!"
Luo Fanjin declared loudly that this was a deal between her and the Heavenly Dao. If she entered the Dao as a mortal in this spiritualless mortal world, she would definitely destroy the well-being of all people in the world. Luo Fanjin did not want this. She had worked so hard to create a peaceful and prosperous world, so how could she bear to destroy it?
So, she made a deal with the Heaven, exchanging her merits for ascension and eternal peace in this world.
Over the past ten years, she has consulted all the ancient books. Although the reason for the disappearance of spiritual energy in the mortal world is unknown, no one has ascended to heaven for tens of thousands of years.
Immortal cultivators can enter the mortal world, but mortals cannot enter the immortal world. She was very curious about the secret behind this.
And now, she is about to leave this world. Before leaving, Luo Fanjin is happy to make a sure-win deal for herself and the people of the world.
As soon as Luo Fanjin finished speaking, a force lifted her up and flew straight into the sky from the high platform.
She was radiating light all over her body, as dazzling as a god.
Everyone knelt down involuntarily, looking at the empress they revered in their hearts with fear and awe. No, she was already an immortal now!
Wherever Yang Ke looked, he saw that figure until the light disappeared and the sky became clear again.
"Your Majesty has ascended to heaven! How honored we are! Now, the Prime Minister obeys Your Majesty's decree and is willing to dedicate himself to the eternal peace!"
Yang Ke suddenly spoke, and other civil and military officials expressed their loyalty one after another.
"I will obey your majesty's decree and dedicate myself to the eternal peace!"
"Dedicate yourself to eternal peace!"
One after another, the oaths resounded through heaven and earth like waves.
This day was the day of offering sacrifices to heaven in the eleventh year of Tianfeng, and it was also the day when the first empress of the Xia Dynasty ascended to the immortal world.
Everyone in the mortal world, including their descendants, remembered this day. There was an emperor named Luo Fanjin who prayed to the heavens, seeking eternal peace for them.
The audience in the live broadcast room were all deeply moved when they saw this scene.
It was inevitable that Luo Fanjin would be able to ascend to heaven, because they had all seen it since she started cultivating immortals. The reason why Luo Fanjin was able to cultivate was because of the dragon energy in her body.
However, they never thought that Luo Fanjin would actually use his merits over the years to exchange for eternal peace and ascension.
Ascension is not an easy thing. Every cultivator who ascends to the upper realm will take away infinite power from the lower realm. Luo Fanjin has reached the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. As long as she wants, she can ascend. However, she must seize a part of the luck of the mortal world at that time. As she is an emperor, the loss will be greater.
But Luo Fanjin actually gave up! She actually gave up! This puzzled many people.
She could have ignored the lives of the mortals and ascended to the upper realm to seek immortality and live a carefree life, but she chose to make a deal with the heavens in order to preserve the fortune of the mortal world. This made many viewers unable to agree with her actions.
Cultivating immortals is about fighting against destiny and cutting off all emotions and love. If Luo Fanjin does this, can she really go far?
For a while, the topic about Luo Fanjin on some interstellar online forums became polarized.
Some people believe that she cares about the people of the world and has good character, and that such a person is a role model of a time-travel anchor worthy of promotion.
Another group of people believe that there is nothing wrong with being kind, but the problem is that this is a world of cultivating immortals. If you only have good intentions, something bad will happen sooner or later. People like Luo Fanjin will definitely not live long.
The number of posts on the forum kept increasing, occupying the top spot in the hot search list every day. Times Entertainment Company was happy to hear about it and didn't care at all, and Star Technology Company would pay even less attention to the various comments on the Internet. For the project research team, the most important thing was whether Luo Fanjin's IQ had improved.
However, so much time has passed, and even though a time accelerator was used to adjust the speed of the plot, Luo Fanjin's IQ has not increased at all in the more than ten years since she entered the plot world, which made all members of the project team restless.
What they didn't know was that Luo Fanjin had already learned how to control the transformation of the power of faith, how to transform it into spiritual power in her body, and how to transform it into IQ. She had mastered it to perfection.
Therefore, over the past ten years, her IQ has not increased at all, and all her faith has been used to store her own spiritual power, so that she can ascend to the upper realm one day.
In the mortal world, because Luo Fanjin became an immortal, every household decorated their houses with lanterns and celebrated together. However, at this time, a big event happened in the Xuantian Realm.
On an ascension platform located in the center of Xuantian Realm, stands a hundred-foot-high celestial monument.
This monument is not made of ordinary materials, but a spiritual weapon that has existed tens of millions of years ago. It is made of iron and is indestructible.
The most magical thing about the Heavenly Stele is that it can autonomously display the strength rankings of each stage in the Xuantian Realm, starting from the Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Out-of-Body Stage, Spirit Severing Stage, Tribulation Stage, etc. The names of all the cultivators ranked in the top 100 in this world will appear on the Heavenly Stele.
On this day, the wind was light and the clouds were clear. There were monks passing by the sky monument constantly to see the rankings.
"The Heze Fairy of Lingxiao Sect is indeed worthy of her reputation. In just over a decade, she has become the tenth person in the Foundation Establishment Stage. I heard that her current strength has reached the third level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and she can fight against opponents of higher levels. Her strength should not be underestimated!"
"No, I think the most powerful cultivator in the foundation-building stage in our Xuantian Realm is Fairy Duna from Lingyun Pavilion. It only took her ten years to become the third cultivator in the foundation-building stage. Moreover, her spiritual root is a single thunder spiritual root, which has huge destructive power."
"You two, while you are discussing this, you should also look at the ranking on the Heavenly Monument. It is clear that the current number one in the Foundation Establishment Stage is Fairy Jin Qiaoqiao from Piao Miao Pavilion. She is the strongest!"
"Heh, you probably don't know that Jin Qiaoqiao was exposed two years ago for secretly taking elixirs to build her foundation, and in order to improve her ranking, she has never stopped taking elixirs in the past two years. It's because Piaomiao Pavilion is an alchemy sect that can afford her. Otherwise, in other sects, how could she build her foundation in such a short time and soar to the ninth level of the foundation building stage, only one level away from perfection." Someone argued disdainfully.
