Chapter 283
Daode Immortal Sect.
Sect Master Mu Qingliu stood at the highest point.
“The current Daode Immortal Sect…”
Mu Qingliu silently gazed at the numerous disciples below him.
Ever since Martial Dao cultivators had been accepted, the sect’s disciples had become visibly more relaxed.
After all, the entity supporting the Martial Tao Cultivation System was terrifying; many disciples were unaware of Lin Yuan’s current strength.
Just over three hundred years ago, Lin Yuan split his being into three and together, had nearly brought Mount Morality Immortal to collapse.
That horrific scene still haunted many of the sect’s disciples.
And now.
The Immortal Path and Martial Tao were in a state of semi-fusion, and Wuji’s older brother, Jun Xiaoyao, was now being groomed as the future Sect Master.
“A silver lining in misfortune.”
Mu Qingliu sighed.
In this moment and scene, it was far better than having enraged Wuji, with both sides standing completely opposed.
At least, Mu Qingliu didn’t dare imagine what that outcome would be like.
“But… why hasn’t Wuji come over yet? The Ascension Platform is always ready…”
Mu Qingliu was puzzled.
Logically speaking, two hundred years ago, Wuji’s strength had already reached the world’s upper limit.
According to the Ancestral Masters of the Spirit Realm, under the world’s suppression in Central Divine Continent, one could only endlessly approach the Unity Path Stage.
As for stepping into the Unity Path Stage, there was basically no chance.
This had nothing to do with talent, but with the restrictions of heaven and earth.
As Mu Qingliu puzzled over this,
a deep, ancient aura emanated from the end of the East Sea.
“Hmm?”
“What is this?”
Mu Qingliu’s pupils narrowed.
This aura, while not comparable to that which Lin Yuan broke through two hundred years ago—triggering a response from even middling strength cultivators between heaven and earth—yet, at this moment, Mu Qingliu felt his soul trembling. It was as though the source of this breath was an existence that stood shoulder to shoulder with the entire cosmos.
“Is it Wuji?”
Mu Qingliu steadied his spirit and immediately rushed to the deepest part of Immortal Mountain, inside the secret realm where the Ascension Platform was placed.
Mu Qingliu unhesitatingly activated the Ascension Platform and contacted the Ancestral Masters of the Spirit Realm.
“What is the matter exactly?”
“Does the old man need to pay a price just to come down here?”
A slightly irritable voice transmitted, clearly not that of the previous Cangqing Immortal.
As the strongest individual of the Daode Immortal Sect in the Spirit Realm, with cultivation at the late stages of Dao Integration, Cangqing Immortal mostly spent his time in secluded cultivation.
Only when the Continents of the Divine Continent were at a life-or-death juncture would he be informed.
After settling the arrangement with Lin Yuan, the Daode Immortal Sect essentially had no worries of destruction, which is why Cangqing Immortal no longer continued his supervision.
According to Cangqing Immortal’s instructions, the next time he was to be contacted would be when Wuji ascended to the Spirit Realm.
“It’s Zhenyan Ancestor…”
Mu Qingliu’s heart trembled again.
Among the many immortal ancestors in the Daode Immortal Sect, Zhenyan Ancestor was known for his fiery temperament, and historically, sect leaders feared dealing with him.
After all, a careless mistake could result in punishment from Zhenyan Ancestor.
Though the punishments wouldn’t harm the foundation, since they were all descendants of the sect, it would definitely be a bitter experience.
“Ancestor, it’s concerning Wuji…” Mu Qingliu immediately said.
“Wuji?”
Zhenyan Ancestor frowned, “The junior that Cangqing favors?”
Although not as powerful as Cangqing, Zhenyan Ancestor was very close, and two hundred years ago, Cangqing Immortal had gathered them together to discuss Wuji and even proclaimed his own Dao oath.
Zhenyan Ancestor was somewhat in disagreement.
He didn’t believe that a mere junior from the Lower Realms of Central Divine Continent could potentially ascend to Immortal King.
That was an Immortal King!
Zhenyan Ancestor wasn’t questioning Cangqing Immortal’s judgement.
He just felt that perhaps Cangqing Immortal might have overlooked something.
That Wuji, was not the kind of talent he imagined, who could simply step into the Unity Path Stage as easily as eating or drinking water once he ascended to the Spirit Realm.
And possibly reach the realm of an Immortal King.
Forget the Immortal King, even in the Spirit Realm, which was the dominion of giants, how easy could it be to step into the Unity Path Stage, also known as the Immortal Realm?
Zhenyan Ancestor was skeptical.
“Hmm?”
Zhenyan Ancestor was about to speak, questioning precisely what was happening with Wuji,
when he too sensed that ancient aura emanating from the end of the East Sea.
“Is this God merging with the cosmos, someone stepping into the Unity Path Stage?”
Zhenyan Ancestor’s eyes widened.
Unity Path Stage immortals are considered powerful even in the Spirit Realm, belonging to the ruling class.
Zhenyan Ancestor had sensed many Refine Void cultivators’ auras when they stepped into the Unity Path Stage,
thus he was very familiar with such an aura.
If it were in the Spirit Realm, Zhenyan Ancestor wouldn’t find anything unusual.
The Spirit Realm is vast, with a higher world limit, making it perfectly normal for a new Unity Path Stage immortal to emerge.
But what place is this?
It’s the Lower Realms.
It’s Central Divine Continent.
Tens of thousands of years ago, those of them who had surpassed the Void Refinement Limit had already determined that no Unity Path Stage could be born in this realm, one could only endlessly approach it.
“Is that Wuji?”
Zhenyan Ancestor turned his head, staring at Mu Qingliu.
“It should be,” Mu Qingliu nodded.
This deep and ancient aura had traces of Wuji’s aura from before.
And within this realm, who else but Wuji could unleash such an aura?
“Monster,”
Zhenyan Ancestor swallowed hard.
This was stepping into the Unity Path Stage?
He had himself ascended to the Spirit Realm in his time, expending countless heart forces, just to advance to the Unity Path Stage, yet a junior from later generations had achieved this so effortlessly?
And moreover, in Central Divine Continent, where theoretically it was impossible to give birth to a Unity Path Stage in this Lower Realm?
“Such talent… Could it be that old guy, Cangqing, underestimated him?”
