In the far north, a city stands among thousands of miles of icebergs. On the city wall are written three large characters: "Invincible City". This city was built by the Demon Cult a year ago for the sake of the ascension passage inside. A year ago, Zhou Qiong exchanged for energy stones and reopened the passage.
As for energy stones, they are a universal currency in the upper realm and are also the best items that can be used for cultivation. The exchange rate is ten primary energy stones for one intermediate energy stone, ten intermediate energy stones for one advanced energy stone, and ten advanced energy stones for one top-grade energy stone.
Unfortunately, Zhou Qiong searched the entire continent but couldn't find a single energy stone. One must know that in order to break through to the Tongxuan realm, one must have a supply of pure spiritual energy. If Zhou Qiong hadn't used the system to create the Ten Thousand Demons Pool, the Demon Cult would never have as many Tongxuan masters as it does now.
In the Invincible City, a stone tablet stood in a huge square, emitting a green light.
There were thousands of men in black standing next to the square, each of them exuding a terrifying aura. If other people saw this scene, they would be scared to death because there was no one below the Martial Emperor level in the field.
In the sky above the square, a magic dragon chariot was suspended in the air. Zhou Qiong, who was known as the invincible one in the world, was standing on it. His aura was so powerful that he was like an ancient demon god. A voice came from the chariot.
"Liansheng, how are the preparations going?"
Lian Sheng, who was dressed in a red robe, stood in front of the black-clothed man and bowed to Zhou Qiong on the flying sedan chair. "Master, everything is ready. This time, our sect will have two people at the fifth level of Tongxuan Realm, eight people at the fourth level of Tongxuan Realm, five hundred people below the third level of Tongxuan Realm, and five thousand people at the peak of Wudi Realm."
"Okay, this ascension is extremely dangerous. Are you willing to take the risk with me?"
"We swear to follow the leader till death!"
The members of the Demon Cult below knelt on one knee and shouted excitedly, and the entire Invincible City was filled with such voices.
"Okay, Li Changsheng!"
"I'm here!" The Qinglong Hall Master, who was wearing green, responded with an unhappy look on his face.
"Protect the Demon Cult well. After I ascend, I will close the passage for three years. After three years, it will be reopened. Then everyone can ascend."
"yes!"
"Ascension!" Zhou Qiong shouted, and the men in black began to line up and walk towards the stone tablet. The moment their hands touched the stone tablet, they disappeared in the square.
In the Black King City of the Upper Realm, a square that was hundreds of times larger than the Invincible City Square, the various teleportation arrays were still operating in an orderly manner. The square was guarded by a group of armored guards, led by the Blue Rain Clan, who were like a larger version of the Smurfs. Outside the square stood some people from other forces, who were going to take away the Ascendants of their own forces.
Among them, there was a handsome man with a pair of sword-like eyebrows carrying a long sword standing next to the old man. There was also a young woman next to the old man. The man was Ximen Di who had accidentally ascended to heaven. He was very lucky. He was originally going to be a slave in the mine of the Blue Rain Clan for five years. As a result, he met this human old man on the way to the mine. The old man's name was Ye Tian.
Ye Tian was impressed by his aptitude in swordsmanship and exchanged a large amount of energy stones for his freedom and accepted him as his disciple. The woman was Ye Tian's daughter Ye Qing, who was also his senior sister. Ye Tian was a disciple of the Sword Sect of the Black King City, and his cultivation was said to have reached the fifth level of Tongxuan. In recent years, he had come to the square with Ye Tian from time to time to pick up the ascenders from the Sword Sect.
Ximen Di looked at a stone tablet in the corner of the square. The light it emitted proved that it was a useful teleportation tablet. He knew that it was the stone tablet of Cangwu Continent. He came out from that stone tablet, and the light on the stone tablet had been emitted since a year ago.
When he suddenly discovered that the stone tablet was lighting up a year ago, he guessed that it might be the demon cult leader Zhou Qiong who was about to ascend.
After all, when he came to the upper realm, Zhou Qiong was already at the peak of the Martial Emperor. Now he is probably at the early stage of the Martial God, no, it should be the first stage of the Tongxuan.
Ximen Di was just wondering why Zhou Qiong hadn't ascended in a year, when the stone tablet suddenly shone with light and a figure in black walked out of it, with the cultivation level of a peak Martial Emperor.
"Huh, that's not right!" Ximen Di exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the man who walked out of the stone tablet. He didn't know this man. He was not Zhou Qiong, not a high-ranking member of the Demon Cult, nor a master from other sects. Could he be a hidden master from the Cangwu Continent?
Ximendi's scream attracted the attention of Ye Tian and Ye Qing. Ye Qing asked curiously, "What's wrong, Junior Brother?"
Seeing Ye Tian and Ye Qing looking at him, Ximen Di did not dare to hide anything and told them the situation.
Ye Tian looked at Ximen Di and said, "He might be a hidden master in your continent. You can go and ask him about the situation before he is taken away!"
"Okay..." Simon nodded.
The armored guards at the side looked at the men in black who walked out of the stone tablet and were about to go forward to take the men away, but they found that the men in black stood aside after coming out. The stone tablet continued to emit light, and one by one the men in black walked out from it.
Before the armored guards could react, more than a hundred men in black had walked out of the stone tablet, and they were still walking out. Each of them had the cultivation level of a peak Martial Emperor.
The armored leader realized something was wrong and immediately walked towards the stone tablet and asked the many black-clad men who had come out;
"Which force are you from? Why are you ascending together?!"
The men in black didn't reply, but kept moving to the side to make room for the people coming out. The movement here attracted everyone in and outside the square. Even the people who were connecting with their own forces stopped and looked at the side of the men in black. It was really rare to see hundreds of people ascending at once.
No, it should not be said that there are hundreds of people. Just when everyone was confused, no less than five hundred people had walked out of the stone tablet, and each of them had the cultivation level of a peak Martial Emperor.
Even though it’s nothing in Black King City, it’s the lower realm. With five hundred peak Martial Emperors, that continent must be extremely powerful!
Even Ye Qing who was standing by was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He looked at Ximen Di and asked, "Is this really the continent you ascended to? Your continent is so powerful!"
Ximen Di was now more surprised than anyone else in the square. He knew that there had not been a single peak Martial Emperor in Cangwu Continent over the years. Only later did Zhou Qiong barely break through to the peak of Martial Emperor, and the other two were not even in the late stage of Martial Emperor. But where did these more than 500 peak Martial Emperor warriors come from!
Seeing that the man in black did not answer him and that people were still coming out of the stone tablet, the armored leader stretched out his hand to hit the man in black. A huge palm slapped towards the man in black from the sky, carrying endless pressure. He wanted to kill a few people to establish his authority, so that these people might answer him honestly!
Just as the giant palm was about to hit the men in black, a loud shout of "How dare you!" suddenly came from inside the stone tablet...
A sword light shot up into the sky from the stone tablet and slashed towards the giant palm.
