Chapter 148 A New Beginning
In the distance, there are endless mountains.
He retracted his gaze and returned to the stone platform, observing intently for a moment and discovered that there was a layer of restriction separating the surroundings from the outside world.
Before Su Qingwu could think about it, a circle of ripples like water suddenly appeared ten feet ahead.
Then an arched entrance that could accommodate two people appeared, and a man in elegant clothes walked towards them with a smile on his face, holding the Ziwu Jue in both hands.
"Congratulations on your ascension! I am Feng Xin, the poor Taoist, and I am the guide here. How should I address you?"
"My name is Su Qingwu."
"Fellow Daoist Su, this ascension passage is under the jurisdiction of Tianhe City. All the ascension monks from the small world must go to the city to register. Fellow Daoist, please follow me."
Su Qingwu had just arrived and didn't understand anything. When he heard this, he just nodded and said "OK".
She was initially confused about the restrictions set up around the stone platform, but after thinking about it, she immediately understood.
The demon cultivator Kong Fan from this world once said that all the ascension channels are strictly guarded by powerful forces to prevent the cultivators from this world from sneaking into the small world.
Most likely, this is the reason why restrictions exist.
Thinking of this, Su Qingwu followed Feng Xin and walked out of the stone platform.
The temporarily opened arched entrance was then closed.
She turned her head and looked back. The stone platform had disappeared from her sight, leaving only thick mist.
After a while, Feng Xin, who was walking in front, stopped, raised his sleeve, took out something, and waved it forward.
A sky bridge shaped like crystal glass slowly appeared before our eyes.
The other end of the overpass is Tianhe City.
Su Qingwu stepped onto the bridge and took a step forward.
Suddenly, I heard a whistling sound of wind, and the surrounding clouds and mist quickly retreated.
To be precise, it was her own excessive speed that created the illusion that the clouds and mist were moving backwards.
At this moment, Su Qingwu was very surprised. It was just an ordinary step, but it had such an effect. The root of the problem was undoubtedly on the overpass.
At this moment, Feng Xin, who was walking in front, explained:
"This magical treasure of the sky bridge contains the magical power of shrinking the earth into an inch, and is specially used to guide the ascended monks from the small world."
Hearing this, Su Qingwu hesitated for a moment and tried to ask:
"I wonder how far Tianhe City is from the Ascension Platform?"
Feng Xin smiled and replied, "It's exactly one thousand miles. If we fly through the air, it will take about two incense sticks of time to get there. If we go through the sky bridge, it will be there in a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, a magnificent city with no end in sight appeared in Su Qingwu's sight.
At first glance, it seems majestic, grand, ancient and remote.
The city wall is about three hundred feet high. The closer you get to the city, the smaller you feel.
Arriving at the city gate, Feng Xin cast a spell to retract the overpass, said hello to the surrounding guards, and continued walking, bringing Su Qingwu into the city.
On the right side of the street, which can accommodate hundreds of carriages, stands a palace called Shengyuanque, which covers a very large area.
The palace door opened wide, Feng Xin walked in, and with one hand he made a spell, which fell on a white jade wall about thirty feet high and ten feet wide in the center of the palace.
Su Qingwu took a quick look and found that it was densely packed with many names.
A small part is golden, while most of it is gray.
At this moment, a faint light slowly emerged from the jade disk and enveloped her.
Because his intuition gave no warning of danger, Su Qingwu did not hide.
The moment the light fell on his body, a dazzling golden light flashed in the white jade wall.
In the center of the palace, a line of text slowly emerged.
Su Qingwu ascended from the Yuehua small world in the 87,546,372nd year of the Yuanji ancient calendar. He has achieved the golden elixir perfection and has the three spiritual roots of water, wood and earth. His age is unknown.
When he saw the last four words, Feng Xin turned to look at the girl in black, his eyes full of surprise.
He also had not been able to tell this person's bone age before. At that time, he just thought that the other person was wearing something that could hide his bone age, so he didn't take it seriously.
He never expected that the Fengzhen Jade Bi could not even reveal the girl's age.
Feng Xin wanted to ask the reason, but he didn't know where to start.
Most of these things involve personal secrets and are difficult to talk about.
He was able to cultivate all the way to the perfection of the Golden Elixir in a small world with scarce spiritual energy and ascend to the great world. His character and fate are not bad at all. He has great potential and should not be offended.
At this moment, the words appearing in the center of the temple gradually disappeared, turned into a ray of spiritual light, and flew into the jade disk.
Then the name Su Qingwu slowly appeared on the jade disk in golden color.
Seeing this, Feng Xin put aside his complicated thoughts and spoke with a smile:
"The registration is complete. Fellow Daoist Su has just arrived and is probably not familiar with everything. You can walk around Tianhe City and get to know the situation. I recommend you go to Wangxian Tower. There, you can find out a lot of things."
"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Feng. I have another question. What do the two colors of gold and gray on this jade disk mean?"
"The names of people shown on the Fengzhen Jade Disk are all monks who have ascended to heaven from various small worlds. Grey ones indicate that the person has passed away, while gold ones indicate that they are still alive."
After receiving this answer, Su Qingwu thanked him again and then turned around and left Shengyuanque.
She was not at peace at the moment.
The names of people shown on the jade disk are mostly grey. Most of those who have gone through the arduous journey to ascend from the small world have fallen into this world. This shows how difficult the path to becoming an immortal is.
On the eve of her ascension, Sect Leader Xie Wenshu mentioned the affairs of the Tianxuan Sect to her.
This sect is located in Xuantian Continent of Yuanji World and is the top sect of Qianzhi Sect.
Theoretically, cultivators who ascended from the Qianzhi Sect would automatically become disciples of the Tianxuan Sect.
As the sect leader, Xie Wenshu read through all the sect's books, among which there were very few notes left by the Tianxuan sect monks who had passed away in the lower world.
It was mentioned in detail that there are far more than one lower-world forces affiliated with the upper sect, and the relationships are complex.
The ascended monks from various small worlds basically cannot keep themselves out of trouble after joining the Tianxuan Sect.
As for the reason, it involves factional struggles and cannot be explained in just a few words.
Xie Wenshu brought up this matter with the intention of asking Su Qingwu not to reveal his specific origins until after he ascended.
The Golden Elixir Perfection Realm is the pinnacle in the small world, but it is nothing in the Yuanji world.
If you directly join the Tianxuan Sect, you will be forced to get involved in the factional struggles, and all kinds of troubles will follow.
Only by improving your strength first and then having enough voice, you won’t have to worry about these things anymore.
However, there is a problem here. When Tianxuan Sect sent several Jindan to the lower world, they had seen Su Qingwu.
If she was unlucky and met these people and was recognized, she would have no choice but to follow them to the sect.
Apart from that, no one would know unless she took the initiative to reveal her origins.
Recalling this, Su Qingwu already had a plan in mind.
Naturally, she was unwilling to join in factional fighting, and from then on, she wandered around as a casual cultivator.
Anyway, no one can see through my age now, so there is no need to worry about the problems that existed in the past.
Although she has not yet understood the situation in the Yuanji world, in her subconscious, the world should be vast and boundless, much larger than the small world, and the probability of meeting those people is extremely low.
If it really doesn't work, then think of a way to use illusion or other means to cover up the appearance.
By then, even if we meet them face to face, those people won’t be able to recognize us.
