The Search for Ascension

Chapter 141 The Search for Ascension (4k)

In a valley strewn with fallen petals, a deafening crash resounded.

"Whoosh"

With most of its scales fallen off, Xiao Qing lashed its tail violently, its incomparably powerful body churning the space and leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

"Bang!"

Xiaoqing's tail missed its mark, so she quickly adjusted her posture, raising the remaining force slightly to unleash a shockwave that created spatial cracks in the sky.

"Crack!"

Opposite Xiaoqing, a golden Zapdos with a phoenix crown on its head stared intently at her.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Xiao Qing abandoned her soft and cute attitude when she was with Sha Xiao, and her low roar carried a trace of dragon might.

Although Xiaoqing and the crested Zapdos were on the verge of conflict, they both maintained a certain level of rationality, as if they were worried about breaking something.

Between the two beasts stood an inconspicuous little mountain, its peak radiating light, upon which grew a four-colored flower, from which four kinds of energy emanated and cascaded down, making the mountain appear hazy.

Earth light, fire light, wind light, and water light rotate together, creating a mysterious atmosphere. The four colors of light intertwine on the flowers, making them brilliant and dazzling.

"Young man, the Demon God Flower will take decades to bloom. This place is sealed off by a great array of heaven and earth. Tell me, how long will it take for the person you're waiting for to arrive? How long can you hold out against me?"

The crested lightning bolt leisurely preened its feathers, dampening Xiao Qing's fighting spirit.

Xiaoqing didn't care and proudly raised her head: "Hiss hiss hiss! (Ah Xiao will be here soon, you're dead, you old hag!)"

The crested lightning bird flapped its wings twice in exasperation and said coldly, "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! I only wanted a little of your dragon essence blood to baptize my child, but you're so stubborn. Sooner or later, you'll taste what you're made of!"

In the northern part of the eastern wilderness, lies the source of the sacred land of Yao Guang.

Ten thousand meters in the air, an elder who had transformed into a dragon tremblingly held up a tall jade mirror.

The sun shines on it, reflecting off it with dazzling light.

This time, the shimmering golden light illuminated the entire area within a hundred miles of the core of the mining area, so much so that even a mouse running by would be inspected.

Inside the mine, some mine slaves at the Sea of ​​Wheels realm were gossiping with great interest.

"Hey bro, which mine did you transfer from?"

"I came from the No. 3 main mine. That was a huge mine, and he caused it to be shut down. It was so eerie and I almost died in there."

"When do you think the Immortal Master will be able to capture that guy?"

"Get to work, get to work! Don't talk about this!"

An overseer with Daoist cultivation opened his eyes and reprimanded the miners.

"Tsk tsk, I think he'll be hard to catch. I've seen bandits before, but none of them are as resolute or as cunning as him."

"Besides, he's only targeting a few of us; other holy sites might be secretly watching and supporting him."

An old miner, with a scraggly beard and at least eighty or ninety years old, sat leisurely smoking and said with a chuckle.

"Old Master Qiao, if he really comes, whether we miners survive or not depends on you."

The Dao Palace foreman, who had just been scolding the old miner, was now respectfully leaning against him, lighting a cigarette and flattering him.

In the source mine thousands of meters underground, if something really happens, the probability of him, a Dao Palace cultivator, surviving is not much different from that of Old Master Qiao, a mortal.

In this source mine, someone like Grandpa Qiao, who has mined source mines his whole life and is still alive, must have some luck and skill. He is the most important treasure of this mine.

"Hehe, don't worry, that guy is still humane. We won't be in that much trouble."

Grandpa Qiao chuckled and tapped his pipe.

A thousand meters below Grandpa Qiao and his group, a jet-black pangolin carefully followed the various underground veins, quietly climbing upwards.

"I measured it, and the barrier has now penetrated to a depth of 4,000 meters underground. That's outrageous."

Pang Bo glanced at the divine runes that were shimmering five centimeters above his head, then slowly dispelled the transformation and returned to human form.

He took out a tuft of red hair from the hollow and lit it, then dripped a small jade turtle with green corpse cold wrapped around it and a small bottle of Taiyin essence blood extracted by Jiang Tingting into the hole.

After everything was prepared, Pang Bo took out hundreds of mud gu and strung them together, letting these mud gu crawl along the soil towards the place with abundant source energy.

"Hehehe, you think you can protect the source mine like this? Dream on! You won't let us cultivate in peace, huh? Then you might as well give up on cultivation too!"

Pang Bo said viciously.

The Mud Gu will destroy the entire source mineral structure and release the ghostly energy and ancient creatures buried underground from the source.

Now, it will take hundreds of years to clear the entire mine before it can be mined again.

Pangbo quickly transformed back into a pangolin, but this time, the pangolin's back scales seemed to have a faint Zapdos totem.

With a "whoosh," he fled outside at several times the speed he had come from.

What's coming next is a major disaster, and he doesn't want to be buried here with it.

Above the source mine, the mining slaves of the Yao Guang Holy Land were still working diligently, completely unaware that their end was approaching.

After a while, Old Master Qiao suddenly felt a jolt. He took a drag of his cigarette, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the smoke spreading downwards. He jumped up abruptly: "Something's wrong, something's wrong. Something's really wrong!"

The overseer of the Dao Palace stiffened, and with divine power enveloping the old man, he prepared to fly upwards.

"No, no, run! Run down the road to the right! Don't fly!"

Old Master Qiao tapped the head of the Taoist temple supervisor with his pipe and gave loud instructions.

"Whoosh!"

Instantly, everyone in the mine went crazy, abandoning their tools and running outwards as Grandpa Qiao pointed.

"Zzzy" 6

Before long, a faint gas pierced through the soil and solid rock, turning the tools made of refined iron into rotten and decaying objects, and the gas was increasing in number at an ever-increasing rate.

"Aww—"

'

A piercing scream suddenly rang out.

With a "boom," a monster covered in red hair suddenly charged toward the direction where divine power was abundant.

Following closely behind the monster was a vast, surging yin energy that, like a great river, eroded everything.

Hundreds of miles away, Pang Bo transformed into a blue roc with wings as large as a mountain range, gazing expectantly at the source mine of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

"Rumble rumble—"

'

Even from a distance of a hundred miles, the ground still trembled violently.

The next second, with a "boom", an overwhelming aura of bloodlust rose into the sky from every mine shaft of the Yao Guang Holy Land Source Mine.

"Gagaga!"

Pang Bo watched as the red-haired monsters hidden in the blood-fiend aura tore apart the elders and supreme elders of the Yao Guang Holy Land with their bare hands. He patted his belly happily and flew towards a higher place.

"Beep beep beep—"

""

Pang Bo took out the trembling silver telephone Gu from the hollow cavity: "Tingting, what's wrong?"

Jiang Tingting took a deep breath on the other end of the phone, suppressing her grief, and said in a slightly tearful voice, "Uncle Pang, Uncle Zhou found a clue about Master, but he's trapped inside Purple Mountain!"

"boom--!"

Pang Bo flapped his wings suddenly, transforming into a streak of azure light that swept across thousands of miles in the blink of an eye: "I'll be back immediately!"

Eastern Wilderness, Southern Region.

Above a vast, uninhabited mountain range, the thick clouds suddenly shattered, and the sun's rays shone down.

Ten thousand meters above the ground, a pitch-black spatial rift is slowly closing.

"Ancient Sacred Body! Don't push your luck!!!"

An aged voice, fierce as thunder, rang out, each word imbued with immense power, shattering even the remaining clouds.

Beside the spatial rift, an old man with white hair, who looked like a demon god, roared loudly.

Ye Fan, clad in crimson-gold lotus armor, had divine power swirling around his hands, one of which rested on the spatial rift.

This crack was clearly torn open by his bare hands!

"Ugh—!"

Ye Fan loosened his grip, his knuckles cracking, and stared coldly at the old man before him, saying, "Hand over Old Sha, and everything stops. Otherwise, it's a fight to the death!"

"Fine! Fine! A fight to the death? You're only relying on the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon for protection. Without the Imperial Weapon, you're nothing!"

The white-haired old man looked at Ye Fan's armor with a mixture of fear and envy.

He was just an ordinary elder of the Ji family, unlike Ji Haoyue, who could wander around with an imperial weapon.

Although he spoke with great authority, it was clear from his behavior that he was not that confident in himself.

"It seems you don't know..."

'

Ye Fan sighed and, without any warning, launched a sudden attack.

With a clench of his right hand, a massive handprint emerged from the void, enveloping the Supreme Elder of the Ji family.

"You little thief! You really did steal my Ji family's Imperial Scripture!"

The Supreme Elder of the Ji family was both shocked and furious, and he also cast a large hand seal in the void.

Ye Fan was completely unafraid. With a pair of lightning bird phantoms wrapped around his legs, he clenched his fists and rushed to the side of the Ji family's Supreme Elder at lightning speed.

"you!"

The Ji family's Supreme Elder felt as if in the blink of an eye, Ye Fan had approached him at a speed even faster than his divine power.

To his surprise, he quickly drew his treasured sword, which he had cherished for many years.

As soon as the sword was drawn, its blade sliced ​​through the void, revealing itself to be a second-tier immortal sword capable of shattering the void with a single strike.

"Die! Severing Void Sword, slash!"

The Supreme Elder of the Ji family roared, mobilizing all his vital energy.

Although it was done hastily, the sword's power was undiminished as it slashed towards Ye Fan.

At such close range, the Supreme Elder of the Ji family was confident that Ye Fan would have no chance of dodging this move.

Ye Fan's right-hand armor emitted a shimmering golden light, and golden lightning had somehow wrapped around it. Behind him, a golden lotus quietly bloomed.

"boom--!"

Ye Fan's body seemed to be burning with tangible flames, his divine power surging and surging, and the pressure was so great that even the Supreme Elder of the Ji family was moved.

The opponent has definitely not reached the Sendai realm, yet he possesses such formidable divine power. Is this the Ancient Sacred Body?

Before he could think any further, Ye Fan unleashed a powerful right punch, as if he were about to pierce through the sky.

The sword light that tore through the void was directly blasted apart by Ye Fan's punch.

At the same time, the armor on his body exuded an aura that made all spirits bow down, directly interrupting the void array patterns behind the Supreme Elder of the Ji family.

Ye Fan grabbed the spiritual treasure of the Ji family's Supreme Elder and exerted a sudden force.

"Click, click, click—"

Ye Fan simply crushed a Saint Lord weapon of Immortal Level 2 into two pieces.

"Pfft—! How is that possible!"

As the Supreme Elder of the Ji family watched as Ye Fan easily crushed his life-or-death spiritual treasure like a teddy bear cookie, he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining a patch of sky red.

Without uttering a word, Ye Fan seized the moment when the other party's mind wavered and unleashed a punch, shattering the chest of the Ji family's Supreme Elder and causing him to fall into a coma.

Ye Fan took out several Gu worms, sealed the unconscious Ji family elder, and put him into the Sea of ​​Bitterness. He then scattered a handful of seeds, and the golden lightning wrapped around his body struck down.

"Boom—"

'

In an instant, those seeds sprouted from the soil and grew to a height of several thousand meters.

At the same time, the clouds that had been scattered in the sky reassembled, with countless bolts of lightning flashing.

Only after doing all this did Ye Fan relax.

He flew into the giant tree and sat down, watching the lightning gather in the sky. He removed the helmet from his armor and let the rain that fell first wet his face.

Ye Fan's face was blood red, covered with dense lightning strike marks.

Defeating a senior elder of the Ji family was no easy task for him either.

Ye Fan took out a giant red snail from the hole. If it weren't for the urgent message, Ye Fan would have been confident of capturing the Ji family's Supreme Elder if he had spent a day steadily honing his skills.

Opening the snail shell, a message from Pang Bo came through urgently: "Ye Zi, Zhou Yi sacrificed himself and found a clue about Lao Sha! Come back quickly!"

"Snap!"

Ye Fan suddenly crushed the snail shell, stood up with a "whoosh," and flew at full speed close to the ground into the distance.

"Boom—"

The thunder in the sky fell like rain, obliterating all surrounding information.

After a long while, the void passage opened in the thunderclouds, and the two Supreme Elders of the Ji family joined hands and carefully walked out, using a replica of the Void Mirror.

"Damn the Ancient Sacred Body! Little Seventeen must have been captured by him!"

"A senior elder said angrily."

"Now that even Little Seventeen can be defeated and taken away in such a short time, he's becoming increasingly difficult to deal with..."

"The other elder of the Ji family looked extremely grim."

Including this time, this is the fourth time Ye Fan has successfully ambushed the Supreme Elder.

The Ji family wasn't stupid; they had long ago stipulated that the Supreme Elders must act in pairs.

However, Ye Fan always managed to seize the moment when the Ji family's Supreme Elders were crossing the void, predicting their location in advance, and then forcefully separating them by striking through the void.

In the turbulent void, a slight difference can lead to a huge discrepancy. In the blink of an eye, the group of Ji family elders were separated by more than a million miles.

The two elders of the Ji family had arrived as quickly as possible, but they were still too late.

The Ji family had considered directly tracking Ye Fan, but after that one time, Ye Fan learned to use heavenly lightning to clear away traces and then leave through underground water veins, making him untraceable.

Trying to deduce Ye Fan's whereabouts is impossible without the protection of an ultimate imperial weapon.

No matter how powerful and wealthy the Ji family is, they can't withstand someone who's watching them every day.

A vast wilderness in the southern part of the eastern wilderness.

Liu Yiyi sat cross-legged on an ancient tree that was five or six thousand meters tall and pierced into the thunderclouds.

The current flowed along the ancient tree through her body and then went straight into the ground.

Wherever the thunder passed, countless ancient trees were sprouting from the ground, replacing the original vegetation of the Eastern Wilderness.

"Boom!"

The branches of the ancient tree trembled and grew rapidly toward her.

Liu Yiyi opened her eyes and looked at the characters formed by the tangled vines of the ancient tree.

[We have received news of Sha Xiao. Return immediately!]

Liu Yiyi's body gradually turned into wood, and she instantly moved rapidly along the trees.
