Chapter 148 No Regrets in This Life
Three thousand years ago, Ye Xu was the biggest scandal in the upper world.
After Long Ye took over the position of Dragon Lord, the name Ye Kuang became a taboo that no one dared to mention in the upper realm.
Who would have thought that three thousand years later, Ye Kuang's name would once again sweep the three realms.
The white-haired and red-eyed beast regained the immortal position. No, it was not even an immortal position, but a god position.
He skipped the levels of lower immortals and upper immortals and directly became a god.
Now, no one can touch "Ye Kuang" except the God Lord like Long Ye.
His body was filled with the aura of the dragon clan, and every strand of his hair was protected by the dragon clan. However, this incredible "protection" was simply terrifying in the eyes of the dragon clan.
A mischievous beast that was banished to the realm of death by the dragon clan actually ascended to heaven using the dragon clan's secret method of washing scales?
When ascending, he also opened up an ascension channel for the dead world, turning the dead world into a small world?
What a disgrace! What a disgrace!
On the day that "Ye Kuang" ascended to heaven, Hong Lian Long went to the Upper Heaven of Dragon City in a majestic manner, asking Long Ye to punish the evil beast that disturbed the order of the fairy world.
Unfortunately, he couldn't even enter the gate to the upper world.
Long Ye is almost omniscient and omnipotent. He does not need anyone to teach him how to do things, but other dragon gods must follow his instructions.
All the Dragon Gods were waiting for Long Ye to take the initiative and attack Ye Cuo, but for some reason... this day never came.
Not only did Long Ye do nothing when Ye Cu was deified, he also did nothing when Ye Cu blatantly violated the rules of the Upper Three Realms and went to the Lower Three Realms every now and then.
It stands to reason that newly arrived gods should try their best to avoid breaking the rules and behave in a timid way, but this principle is the opposite for "Ye Kuan".
It turned out to be Long Ye who lived in seclusion and avoided the sharp edge, while "Ye Kuang" almost had the words "do whatever he wants" written on his face.
Many gods who ascended from the lower three realms or the middle three realms will, if they have the ability, take the initiative to protect their former hometowns, sects, or races.
However, protection does not mean jumping back and forth between the lower and upper realms.
If the immortals who have already ascended could return to their original small world at will, and bring some treasures from the divine world as souvenirs when they return... this is not called blessing, this is called cheating.
The number of ascensions in a certain period of time is fixed. "Ye Qian's" cheating will inevitably lead to a large number of monks ascending in the Qingyun Realm. Then, naturally no one in other small worlds will be able to ascend.
As expected, just as the immortals had expected, in the next five hundred years, twelve cultivators from the Qingyun Realm ascended to the highest realm. This abnormal number not only made the immortals dumbfounded, but also enabled the "Ye Qian" faction to rapidly grow in strength and establish itself in the upper realm.
The protest letters from the immortals flew towards Long Ye like snowflakes, day after day...but fell on deaf ears.
The Dragon Gods wanted to tear "Ye Qian" to pieces, but they were under pressure from the Dragon Lord, so they couldn't do it openly. They could only make some small moves in private while waiting for Long Ye's order in frustration.
However, they waited and waited for a month, a year, ten years, a hundred years...but that day never came.
After a long time, the clever fairy smelled something extraordinary.
How does one say, if you don't oppose something, you support it? If you don't dislike something, you like it?
The relationship between Long Ye, "Ye Qian", and Qingyun Realm is not as simple as it seems...
1,500 years after Ye Kuang ascended to heaven, Long Ye finally took action.
He tidied his clothes, took a bath, burned incense, opened the Dragon Lord's treasure house to explore, and then went to the Qingyun Realm in person.
…
It has been exactly one thousand five hundred years since Annuo ascended to heaven.
Such a long time is enough for the vast sea to turn into mulberry fields and the mountains to be covered with snow. However, Nanwang could not feel the passage of time at all. The scene on the day when Annuo ascended to heaven is still vivid in his mind, as if it happened just yesterday.
At that time, Nanwang was mentally prepared to be separated from Annuo for 1,500 years, but he never imagined that the time they would actually be separated would only be... about three days.
On the third day after An Nuo ascended to heaven, he secretly slipped out of the fairyland and returned to the Qingyun Realm.
After that, Annuo would come to Qingyun Realm to reunite with Nanwang almost every day, and by the way, he would study the "Qiongqi Huajin Method" with Nanwang to help Nanwang improve his cultivation. Then, Annuo simply stopped returning to the Immortal Realm, and stayed in Qingyun Realm for ten days or half a month, until Nanwang could no longer bear it and left.
The skills and artifacts that An Nuo brought back from the fairyland enabled the Qingyun Sect's disciples to advance in cultivation by leaps and bounds. Soon, the Qingyun Sect had the first cultivator who truly ascended from the Qingyun Realm after An Nuo - Du Xueling.
After Du Xueling, Chu Songping, Zhu Tianque, Lingzhi, Zhan Chenming and the true elders of the previous generation also ascended to heaven one after another. For a time, Qingyun Sect was in its heyday and attracted countless immortal cultivators.
After becoming immortals, they followed Annuo's example and sneaked out of the immortal world, bringing with them a wide variety of treasures, and stuffed Nanwang with them like stuffing ducks.
With everyone's concerted efforts, on a bright and sunny morning, Nanwang finally felt the improvement in his spiritual power.
He is finally going to survive the tribulation!
He has been in the Qingyun Realm for 1,500 years. Even if his lifespan has been extended along with his cultivation over the years, it is almost reaching its limit.
Nan Wang actually didn't have much hope of ascending.
Over the long years, he saw many senior brothers and sisters, as well as junior brothers and sisters who successfully ascended to heaven, and he also witnessed many monks who failed to overcome the tribulation and unfortunately perished.
No matter which one it is, those who can reach the stage of overcoming the tribulation are all the proud ones of heaven.
Unlike him, who came from another world, he did not have a physique suitable for cultivating immortals. His cultivation depended entirely on elixirs, magic weapons, and the practice of cultivation with his wife. His situation was unprecedented, but it was also unique in the creation of the world. It would be strange if he could successfully overcome the tribulation.
Even though his ascension failed in the end, Nan Wang did not feel sad. In his life, he started as an undercover agent who traveled through a book, and step by step embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, exploring his own life experience, becoming a true disciple, becoming an elder, and now, becoming the leader of the Qingyun Sect, and even having a place among the demons... No matter what, he has already made his money back.
The only regret is Annuo.
What would happen if he were gone, this rabbit that he loved so much and who also loved him so much?
With infinite open-mindedness and infinite melancholy, Nanwang welcomed the day of transcending the tribulation.
Behind him, there were densely packed immortals who had escaped from the fairyland.
At the front was An Nuo with white hair and red eyes. Beside him were Du Xueling, Zhu Tianque, Ling Zhi... all the former disciples of Qingyun Sect had arrived. In addition to them, Zhong Wangsheng and several elders had also come.
Not only were these people the pride of the world in the Qingyun Realm, but even in the Immortal Realm, they were equally successful as they possessed some of Long Wang's abilities. They soon established their own faction under the name of "Ye Kuang" and became extremely powerful.
As an immortal and demon who was not tolerated by the heaven, Chu Songping had originally had no chance of cultivating to the point of overcoming the tribulation. But now, he successfully overcame the tribulation with the help of Long Wang's golden elixir. After ascending to heaven, his unique elixir-refining skills shocked the immortals. So he continued his treatment in the Qingyun Realm and was revered as the "Alchemy Immortal" by the immortal world, becoming the first immortal to have a revered name even before being deified.
The rest of them were equally gifted geniuses, who turned the impossible into possible countless times, stunning the immortals.
Du Xueling crushed the Red Lotus Dragon God sect, which was famous for its swordsmanship, on the Immortal Sword Arena, and Xue Liuli aimed directly at the throne of "Sword Immortal"; Zhu Tianque blocked the full-strength attack of the three Dragon Gods by himself, which made the God of War look at him sideways; Zhan Chenming easily broke the seal of the Dragon Clan with his spear and took away the Dragon Clan's treasure, the Black Tortoise Spear, openly; Lingzhi refined the ancient artifact "Zhi Ge" that could rival Zhijing, attracting countless weapon immortals to worship...
At this moment, in the sky above Qingyun Mountain, these immortals, each more famous than the other in the fairy world, were staring intently at every bolt of lightning that struck Nanwang, making Nanwang and the lightning tremble in fear.
Nanwang quite felt as if he was taking an exam with examiners standing all around him. However, no matter how much the examiners favored him, he was really powerless facing the test paper which was entirely about astronomy.
Du Xueling and the others taught Nan Wang a lot of experience in overcoming tribulations, but Nan Wang was of no use at all.
It is said that only the last heavenly thunder is a real test, but Nan Wang was already exhausted when he was counting down a dozen or so thunders. When he lost consciousness, Nan Wang knew that it would be impossible for him to survive the calamity.
However, when Nanwang opened his eyes again, he was already in the fairyland.
Countless unfamiliar immortals surrounded him and congratulated him on his successful ascension.
Nanwang...Nanwang was happy but puzzled at the same time.
However, this little confusion was thrown out of his mind when Annuo rushed towards him. When he hugged Annuo in his arms, Nanwang realized that he was an immortal.
Just like his rabbit, they are all immortals who live as long as the sky.
"Great, we will never be apart again..."
Nanwang and Annuo hugged each other and cried together.
Du Xueling and others who arrived after them saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhan Chenming sighed and said, "At least these injuries were not in vain."
The little chirping spirit branch was missing from his head and he said with a dying breath: "Third Senior Brother, you have thick skin and flesh, so a little injury is nothing..."
Chu Songping, who was breathing out more than breathing in, was surrounded by lackeys and was being treated as soon as he came back. He couldn't utter a word at the moment.
Led by Du Xueling, everyone was in a very frenzy, much more frenzied than Nan Wang himself who had gone through the tribulation. After all, it was they who blocked the thunder after Nan Wang fell unconscious.
There is no need for immortal rules to regulate interfering with other people's tribulations. The laws of heaven are enough to kill everyone who intervenes.
However, when Nanwang's life was really hanging by a thread, everyone chose to fight to the death.
Together, they helped Nan Wang block fifteen bolts of thunder. Only when the last bolt of thunder fell did everyone instinctively feel the inviolable destiny.
Just when they thought that they and Nanwang were going to die under the thunder, a person who was beyond everyone's expectations took action.
The dragon scale that Long Ye had once promised to give to Long Wang but ultimately broke his promise came to an end at this moment.
Countless dragon scales turned into a piece of armor, protecting the unconscious Nan Wang and also blocking the last heavenly thunder.
Tianlei, who had never encountered such a thing before, was so angry that he was shaking, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break the dragon scale armor. In the end, he could only reluctantly turn into auspicious clouds and take Nanwang to the fairyland.
Du Xueling looked around but didn't see Long Ye. He couldn't help but sigh, "After all, we are brothers whose blood is thicker than water. It seems that our grudge with the dragon clan should be written off now."
Lingzhi commented ruthlessly: "If he does nothing, he can continue to be the Dragon Lord. He is so 'correct' that he even sacrifices his own interests. This race is really pathetic."
Zhong Wangsheng, who was following behind everyone silently, suddenly said, "When my father becomes the Dragon Lord, everything will change."
Nanwang will not know all the stories mentioned above until a very long time later.
Now that he was holding An Nuo, he felt that he was the biggest winner in life.
An Nuo wiped his tears on Nan Wang's collar, and then burst into laughter when he saw Nan Wang was safe and sound.
Even after being crowned as a god, he is still a rabbit whose emotions come and go quickly.
"You are new here and you don't have your own fairy palace, so you can only stay at my place. What are we going to eat tonight?"
"I will listen to you and will listen to you from now on."
Nan Wang also replied with a smile.
