The dark clouds, like ink being stirred by a giant hand, surged wildly across the sky, with bolts of purple lightning as thick as buckets piercing through them, accompanied by deafening roars.
Every six hours, a bolt of purple divine lightning descends from the tribulation clouds, carrying the power to destroy the world, and strikes the ground in the middle of the tribulation clouds.
Under the cover of the enormous calamity cloud, the people standing on the ground were so small that they could not be seen at all.
This is terrifying! It's like the world is about to be destroyed. Even the ground thousands of miles away can feel the tremors brought by the lightning tribulation.
This caused those watching from afar to tremble with the frequency of the descending tribulation clouds.
I wonder how Shi Xuan is doing right now, being in the very center of it all. Hopefully, the next lightning strike won't be too powerful...
The lightning tribulation paid no heed to the thoughts of those around it, and its force grew stronger with each strike, accompanied by a fierce storm that turned the entire sky black.
The tribulation clouds lasted for forty-nine days before all one hundred bolts of Purple Heaven Tribulation Lightning finally struck.
Beneath the clouds of calamity, all was shrouded in silence, and for a long time no sound was heard.
Under the tense gaze of everyone, suddenly, a giant black dragon rose from the center of the calamity cloud.
The giant dragon soared into the sky, rushing straight up and instantly dispersing the thick, dark clouds that had been blotting out the sun.
At this moment, the clouds dispersed, the sky brightened, and golden light, carrying immense spiritual power, poured down from the sky. In just a moment, the area that had been shrouded in dark clouds was filled with brilliant spiritual light.
As if suddenly, the clouds parted and the sun shone brightly, its golden light dazzlingly bright!
It's done!
The cultivators of the Lianfeng Sword Sect, from top to bottom, couldn't help but cheer.
Three thousand years have passed, and in the legendary Qian Yuan Continent, someone has finally ascended to immortality! And this person is none other than a member of their Lianfeng Sword Sect!
The sect leader, still excited, didn't forget to lead his disciples into the area covered by the golden light, to share in the auspiciousness of the golden glow.
In just this one moment, spiritual energy flowed back, and the entire Qian Yuan Continent benefited immensely.
Shi Xuan will surely become a legend on the Qian Yuan Continent, recorded in history, and passed down forever.
The golden light lingered for a long time, followed by a ladder slowly descending from the clouds to guide the heavens.
Five-colored auspicious clouds descended from the sky, carrying a ladder to guide the heavens, bringing with them a magnificent spiritual power that was breathtaking and invigorating.
Everyone on the Qian Yuan Continent was stunned to see such a scene for the first time.
Will there come a heavenly ladder one day, accompanied by auspicious colorful clouds, to come to their side and take them away?
The cultivators of Qian Yuan Continent became even more determined and worked even harder in their future cultivation.
At this moment, Shi Xuan's injuries had been healed by the golden light after the calamity. Her current Chaotic Spiritual Root, combined with the Myriad Things Life Technique, had made her self-healing ability reach a state of perfection. Even such a life-or-death tribulation of ascension was a close call for her.
As the Heavenly Ladder drew ever closer, Shi Xuan turned to face the direction of the sect and bowed deeply.
Some time ago, I bid farewell to the sect leader, my master, and my senior brothers and sisters. I handed over all the items I no longer needed, along with the sect's treasured Lianfeng Sword, to the sect to distribute to the disciples who made outstanding contributions.
The Lianfeng Sword was very dissatisfied. Even after its contract was broken and it was handed over, it still flew back and forth on its own. In a short while, it approached Shi Xuan several times, trying to return to the space.
But he was rejected without hesitation.
Senior Brother Lu Shenzhi, holding a large jar of Enlightenment Tea, joked with a smile, "With Junior Sister's ascension, I can finally be free of debts and have also made so many good things for free."
Unexpectedly, Shi Xuan said, "Don't worry, senior brother, you'll get your share. I'll be waiting for you to ascend in the Immortal Realm. When that happens, you'll have to pay me back everything you owe me, with interest."
Lu Shenzhi's handsome face immediately fell down, and he deliberately made a gesture of Xi Shi clutching her heart, which made his master and several junior brothers and sisters burst into laughter.
Everyone was extremely reluctant to see their junior sister ascend to immortality, but they didn't want to show any sadness.
The fact that the usually serious group pretended to be relaxed only made the farewell seem even more poignant.
At this moment, the Heavenly Ladder was already suspended in the air above Shi Xuan, waiting. Shi Xuan finally smiled and said loudly in the direction of his sect, "See you in the Upper Realm!"
With that, he turned around, leaped up, and ascended the heavenly ladder. In just a few breaths, he disappeared from everyone's sight. Only scattered specks of spiritual light remained, still falling and nourishing the entire Qian Yuan Continent.
The Celestial Realm. The Welcoming Platform.
From the moment the Heavenly Ladder began to show unusual activity, several major sects dispatched personnel to wait at the entrance of the Welcoming Immortal Platform.
Recently, the sects in the Immortal Realm have been facing a shortage of new talents, with a scarcity of newly recruited genius cultivators. As a result, there have been frequent instances of people coming to the Welcoming Immortal Platform to poach people.
The Immortal Realm is different from the Mortal Realm. Most cultivators here would be pillars of their sects if they were sent to the lower realms. However, in recent years, fewer and fewer cultivators have ascended from the lower realms, leading to a shortage of qualified disciples in the Immortal Realm's sects.
On the welcoming platform, there is a spirit-testing stone. Whenever someone ascends to the immortal realm, the spirit-testing stone will immediately reveal their spiritual root. This is why everyone gathers here.
So, when Xuan's figure appeared on the Welcoming Immortal Platform, the Spirit Testing Stone suddenly emitted a white light. The dazzling brightness invigorated people and even made some who looked tired perk up.
After the white light faded, the various colors on the spirit-testing stone blended together, presenting a hazy gray.
It's actually a Chaos Spiritual Root, a rare find even in a thousand years! And its spiritual root value is already full!
Even the most arrogant sects couldn't help but straighten up at this moment.
If such a peerless genius were to be taken away by another sect, they would surely be reprimanded by their sect leader upon their return.
Shi Xuan came with a cautious mindset, as she didn't know what awaited her in the Immortal Realm, so she was extremely careful. Fearing unexpected danger, she clutched a life-saving magical artifact in her hand.
But when she actually stood on the Welcoming Immortal Platform, she found that she was already surrounded by a group of high-ranking immortals.
"Qingyan Mountain, Yongle Palace, specializing in the Five Elements Arts, sincerely invites you to join us!" a cheerful voice announced loudly.
Shi Xuan saw the others around him looking at the cultivator who had spoken with dissatisfaction, but immediately another person shouted, "Liuli Sea, Fansheng Sect, with complete magic, artifacts, pills, and formations, sincerely invites you to join us! Our sect provides great support to its disciples. After you join, you are allowed to choose any master within the sect and become their personal disciple!"
"Young friend, my Lingyun Sect possesses extraordinary strength, and our location, Qiuming Mountain, is rich in spiritual energy, allowing for cultivation speeds that can rival three opponents at once!"
"If your Lingyun Sect can fight three against one, then our Xuanji Pavilion can fight ten against one!"
...
Shi Xuan was a little confused; this was a scene she had never imagined before.
The original plan was to become a rogue cultivator after arriving in the Immortal Realm, and then go to find the founder of the Lianfeng Sword Sect.
This situation reminded her of when she first entered the Lianfeng Sword Sect three hundred years ago.
In his divine consciousness, Hong Chi transmitted his voice, saying, "Hmph, there's no difference between the Immortal Realm and the Mortal Realm; they're both just a bunch of amateur troupes."
