Chapter 1283 Forcefully Breaking Through
The surprise came too suddenly. The nine Mahayana cultivators instinctively caught the elixir and looked at Ji Guizhen, as if they wanted to confirm again whether what they had heard was true.
Ji Guizhen glanced at the nine people, then repeated what he had said before, this time also relaying Yun Xi's instructions, pointing out the best time to take the elixir, and the purpose of doing so, before finally asking:
"Everyone, did you understand?"
The nine people nodded excitedly in agreement. First, they bowed in the direction of the Dharma House, then thanked Ji Guizhen, before transforming into a beam of light and returning to their cave. Three days later would be the day they would undergo tribulation and ascend to immortality, and some things needed to be arranged in advance.
Ji Guizhen watched the nine people leave, then returned to his own territory, quietly waiting for the arrival of three days later.
The news that three days was enough time for nine people to simultaneously break through and ascend had spread throughout the entire Cloud Heaven Realm, causing a stir throughout the entire cultivation world. In two thousand years, this was the first time so many Mahayana cultivators had risked their lives to attempt to break through and ascend. If they succeeded, they would also have the opportunity to ascend in the future; if they failed...
The cultivators throughout the Cloud Heaven Realm were talking about this matter. Some were optimistic, while others were pessimistic. But in any case, everyone was waiting for this day to arrive, and everyone was eager to see a result.
"These nine True Venerables are preparing to risk their lives for one last attempt. They truly deserve to be the top beings in the Cloud Heaven Realm and live up to the title of 'True Venerables'."
"I'm afraid they'll ruin themselves and completely cut off all our chances of ascension."
"Don't be so pessimistic. I heard they have a 70% chance of winning this time, and Immortal Ji will lend them a hand."
Are you telling the truth?
"Of course, the news was told to me personally by a friend. She is the Daoist partner of the cousin of the disciple of Cangzhen Venerable, so it is absolutely genuine."
"If it were Immortal Ji who made the move, there might actually be a chance of success."
"I will pray that their ascension is successful."
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the appointed day arrived.
Ji Guizhen had been waiting outside the Dharma House since early morning. Yun Xi only came out of the Dharma House when the nine people triggered the lightning tribulation. After putting away the Dharma House, she said to Ji Guizhen:
"Please use your magic to send me into the sky."
Yunxi sealed her dantian, so to the Yuntian Realm she was just a mortal. If she didn't want to suffer the suppression of the plane, she couldn't reveal any immortal energy, otherwise she wouldn't even have the chance to repair the ascension passage.
After Ji Guizhen nodded in agreement, he rode the escape light and flew into the air with Yun Xi. Then he released his divine sense to check the progress of the nine people's tribulation.
As the tribulation drew to a close, the upward momentum generated by the nine individuals during their tribulations became increasingly clear. Yunxi, with the help of Lili's innate skill, could clearly see the direction of this aura.
Nine rising auras quickly condensed together, heading in one direction. However, this aura was blocked halfway, preventing the information about a cultivator successfully transcending tribulation from reaching the upper realm. The upper realm, of course, would not open the ascension passage, which is why no cultivator in the Cloud Heaven Realm has successfully ascended in two thousand years.
After seeing all this, Yunxi frowned. What a huge grudge! It actually cut off the path to ascension for the entire cultivation world. Even if there were personal grudges, they could have settled accounts after the enemy ascended. At that time, the enemy would be the lowest level existence in the Immortal Realm, and they could have crushed him with their strength. Why go to such lengths? The other party must have a big plan.
Yunxi's eyes flickered. She saw that the nine people who had survived the tribulation could not receive the gift of heaven, nor could they sense the passage to ascension. They all unanimously took the elixir she had given them and began to repair the damage caused by the tribulation with the help of the elixir. Their aura also began to rise.
Yun Xi knew the time had come. She released the seal on her dantian, and with a thought, the Seven Star Deadly Staff appeared in her hand. At the same time, she sensed the Cloud Heaven Realm's rejection of her. Without hesitation, she leaped into the air, her clear, cold voice reaching the ears of the nine cultivators who had successfully transcended their tribulations:
"This fairy will forcibly open the ascension passage. You'd better stick close to me. You only have one chance. If you fail, you will be stuck in the Cloud Heaven Realm forever."
Without waiting for their reply, he flashed into the air and arrived at the location where the passage was blocked. He poured his immortal energy into the Seven Star Deadly Staff, and a huge golden staff shadow formed, thrusting straight at the blockage.
A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Cloud Heaven Realm, and the nine who had successfully transcended their tribulations flew behind Yun Xi, awaiting the opening of the ascension passage.
Yunxi used only 30% of her strength for her first strike. The previously blocked area withstood the attack, but cracks appeared, and wisps of energy drifted out from the cracks. She knew she had found the right spot, and then poured her lightning-type immortal energy into the Seven Star Deadly Staff again, preparing to press her advantage.
Unfortunately, Yunxi didn't have a second chance to act, because after the crack appeared, it began to spread in all directions. Before she could make a move, the power that blocked the ascension passage was disintegrated and shattered.
The nine people simultaneously sensed a pulling force, and their faces lit up with ecstasy; they had succeeded.
Yunxi curled her lips into a smile, put away the Seven Star Deadly Staff in her hand, and led the way to fly towards the upper realm. Only by leaving the Cloud Heaven Realm could she be free from suppression.
The nine women, including Granny Cang, remembered Yunxi's instructions and followed closely behind her into the ascension passage, ascending upwards at top speed.
In fact, if they were to ascend normally, their ascension speed would not be this fast, and it would take some time, since it involves crossing realms. But with Yunxi, a true immortal, by her own power, she managed to shorten the ascension process for the nine people.
As she approached the Ascension Platform, Yunxi sensed the final barrier. It seemed that whoever was doing this was very careful; even if someone from the Cloud Heaven Realm were lucky enough to ascend, they would be stopped outside the Ascension Platform.
Ascending cultivators who cannot enter the Ascension Platform are not recognized, will not be registered, and will not have an identity jade token from the Immortal Realm. They are essentially smugglers. Once discovered, their cultivation will be abolished and they will be sent back to their original small world, cutting off all paths for Cloud Heaven Realm cultivators to investigate the cause. This can be described as calculating to the extreme.
Yunxi raised an eyebrow and revealed a sarcastic smile. This time, she did not summon any weapons. She simply threw a punch lightly, shattering the barrier and causing the entire Ascension Platform to shake.
The next instant, Yunxi stood firmly on the Ascension Platform. A man with the cultivation of a Celestial Immortal appeared in front of Yunxi and reprimanded her forcefully:
"Who are you? Why are you attacking the Ascension Platform? How dare you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the nine people from the Cloud Heaven Realm appeared on the Ascension Platform. Hearing the other party's rebuke, the bearded man shouted back:
"We are ascended cultivators from the Cloud Heaven Realm. We went through countless hardships to clear the ascension passage to get here. How can you say we are attacking us?"
The male immortal official frowned and said:
"You are ascended cultivators? Why is there no record of you in my immortal register? Where did you ascend from?"
Yunxi parted her lips slightly and uttered three words:
"Cloud Heaven Realm!"
