Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 523 - 177: Not in the Sky, but... on Earth_2

Chapter 523: Chapter 177: Not in the Sky, but... on Earth_2

The Venerable Lord is currently in deep seclusion.

Ascension can have a great influence, and the Venerable Lord must be able to feel it. Now that the Primordial Spirit has emerged, it must be to witness this event, congratulate his rival, and put an end to their millennium-long conflict.

However...

As the four looked up, they found the Primordial Spirit’s expression was not quite right; it was somber and heavy.

Clearly, the Venerable Lord had no intention of offering congratulations; he even seemed inclined to intervene... However, with Yan Sword Immortal’s current momentum and strength, the Venerable Lord would be no match for her. Once Yan Sword Immortal obtained Immortal Spirit Qi and ascended to the Upper Realm, any Ascension Expert could be extinguished with a single sword strike.

The four looked at each other, all thinking: The Venerable Lord must hold back...

Dan King Sect.

"The second greatest through the ages!"

"I never expected that... among our Old Ancestors, it would be Yan Sword Immortal who ultimately took the first step..."

Granny Gu looked towards the lands of Huangtian Continent and heaved a long sigh.

There were only a few old Ascension Experts.

It was just a pity that for a thousand years, no one had tried.

The new generation of Ascension Experts were often still some distance from their Heavenly Tribulation. Without absolute certainty of success, they dared not even attempt it.

Their foundations were not deep enough, and they all feared perishing under the Heavenly Tribulation, their centuries of Cultivation destroyed in an instant.

"Old Ancestor last discussed the Dao with her young Taoist couple... Although it’s unknown how their discussion went, it triggered the Danxia phenomenon, indicating she had comprehended a new aspect of the Alchemy Dao..."

Granny Gu pondered, Old Ancestor was supposed to return for seclusion this time. Her Crossing Tribulation shouldn’t have been far off... Who would have thought that in the end, Yan Sword Immortal would be one step faster."

"To fail Crossing Tribulation once, be reborn, and then succeed on the second attempt—she has truly become the foremost legend of the Nine Provinces."

To be able to try again after a failed Tribulation and still succeed—this speaks volumes not just of the immense difficulties involved, but also of her astonishing perseverance, courage, and Qi Fortune.

All such conditions were indispensable.

Such an experience could be called unprecedented in all of history.

「Not long after.」

A phantom flew out from the ancient courtyard of the Dan King Sect.

"Old Ancestor..."

Seeing this, Granny Gu immediately flew up to greet her respectfully.

When a peer of the same generation achieved Ascension, even an Old Ancestor in seclusion comprehending the Dao would surely emerge.

If nothing else, shouldn’t she at least take a look? Who knew, perhaps she herself would achieve Ascension in the future?

The phantom was surrounded by a halo of Danxia, with a Heart Flame rising, burning in her eyes...

...

Why does Old Ancestor’s aura feel... not quite right?

Granny Gu’s heart skipped a beat...

Is she planning to leave the Dan King Sect?

Above the ancient hall of the Black Abyss.

Surrounded by endless skeletons, an altar stood in the center.

Gu Yuqing sat there, the four streams of qi flame following the altar’s central ring, slowly merging into her body...

All around, numerous ancient figures in black robes prostrated themselves...

Suddenly, Gu Yuqing opened her eyes. Her left eye was filled with a malevolent air, her right eye cold and indifferent, as if she possessed two souls, giving off an extremely eerie feeling.

"Tsk... interesting."

"I never expected you, of all people, to die in such a way," she murmured.

"The Sky-cutting Sword that struck me down back then has now self-destructed under the Heavenly Tribulation."

"It truly is the Heavenly Dao’s cycle of retribution!"

"She sealed me for a thousand years, leaving me as a mere wisp of a residual soul to witness the millennia pass... I never imagined you would die like this..."

"It’s truly..."

"It’s truly... immensely satisfying!"

"Hahaha..."

She roared with laughter in her Sea of Consciousness.

"Who died?" The right eye twitched slightly. Her tone changed, and a calm descended within her Sea of Consciousness.

"Oh, you don’t know yet?" the strange voice sounded. "Since you don’t know, I won’t tell you. I’m borrowing your body, after all. If I told you, it would likely destabilize your Taoist Heart at this crucial moment... which would be very disadvantageous for me!"

"What exactly do you mean?"

"It means nothing. If you wish to break free from me and see your Brother Wang, you’d best listen to my words... Then, we can both achieve a favorable outcome."

...

The strange voice chuckled leisurely.

When you see your Brother Wang’s bones, that will indeed be a ’good outcome.’

At this moment, countless cultivators were marveling at the sky filled with rosy clouds and the surging of Immortal energy.

However, the scene that followed was something countless cultivators had never witnessed before. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Amidst the spreading rosy light, Elder Yan floated in the void, gazing at that ancient, majestic, and mysterious Upper Realm.

The Great Tao formed a staircase; one step across, and she could transcend this world!

Elder Yan lowered her head, looking at the falling figure.

The next second, she stretched out her palm, and the Sky-cutting Sword, which had gathered the essence of two world-shattering dragons and absorbed the blood of Wang Mu, fell into Elder Yan’s hand.

Sword in hand, held before her brow, her Primordial Spirit unified.

She gazed at the great gate of the Immortal Path.

A heaven-piercing Sword Intent erupted from her as she slashed her sword down towards the Heavenly Vault.

In an instant, a supreme sword light enveloped everything!

The rosy clouds vanished. The gate of the Immortal Court, standing above the Cloud Sea, shattered in that instant under the peerless Sword Intent!

Reversing the Great Tao!

This Ascension... she would not complete it!

The Sky-cutting Sword, at this moment in Heroine Yan’s hand, truly sundered the highest heavens.

It transformed into an unparalleled, peerless sword light, dissipating with this single strike.

As the rosy clouds completely extinguished, the gushing Immortal Spirit Qi also transformed into a torrent with this strike, vanishing without a trace along with the great gate of the Immortal Path, disappearing from the world.

She had destroyed her own Immortal Path.

With that one strike, Heroine Yan’s Primordial Spirit instantly weakened, like starlight about to be swallowed by the dawn, on the verge of disappearing.

At this moment, the cultivators who had been incredibly shocked were now staring dumbfounded at the scene.

If her successful Crossing Tribulation moments ago was enough to shock the Nine Provinces, then Yan Sword Immortal now severing the Immortal Gate with her sword was enough to make all cultivators’ minds go blank.

What in the world...?!

Just one more step through the Immortal Gate, and one could reach the Upper Realm—desired by countless cultivators.

This thousand-year Cultivation would then be fulfilled.

She had finally achieved Ascension, yet she had severed the Immortal Gate with a single sword. Did this mean there would be no more chances in the future?

It wasn’t even a question of whether one could start Cultivation anew.

Furthermore, after expending such terrifying Primordial Spirit Power and the principles of her Sword Dao, whether she could even survive was a serious question.

This situation overturned the understanding of countless cultivators.

No one could imagine why this peerless Sword Immortal, who reigned supreme over the Nine Provinces, would do such a thing.

The ripple effects this deed would generate were beyond imagination...

...

...

...

At this moment, countless cultivators were stupefied.

In the Sword Sect, the six Peak Leaders stared at the Heavenly Vault where the rosy clouds had dissipated... utterly stunned for a moment.

What? Why?

Elder Yan yearned for the Great Path of the Sword Immortal for a thousand years... it was right before her eyes...

Why? What happened to Elder Yan?

With such a radiant Ascension, even our Sword Sect would have received some blessings...

Her Great Tao was complete and without flaw, so why at this moment...

It’s incomprehensible! To succeed in Ascension, only to sever her own Immortal Path...

Our Sword Sect’s future...

...

For a moment, the six of them felt their understanding of everything overturn.

They could not fathom why, after a thousand years of Cultivation, after yearning for the Immortal Path for so long, she would abandon it when it was right before her.

And to do so with such decisiveness.

Yet, it had happened.

This was a scene they had never anticipated.

To be precise, they hadn’t even anticipated that Elder Yan could pass this Heavenly Tribulation.

However, they never imagined that after successfully overcoming the Tribulation, she would then sever her own Immortal Gate...

Such an act completely contradicted her thousand years of Cultivation!

Could it be related to the figure within that golden light just now? Lu Youlian transmitted her thoughts.

It’s meaningless now...

Indeed, it was now meaningless.

However, this event would surely be etched into the memory of the entire Cultivation World and might become a mystery in the history of the Nine Provinces Cultivation World that would never be unraveled.

In the void, Heroine Yan’s face was pale. She descended, sensing the other’s life force about to vanish.

...

Her Primordial Spirit returned to her body. She gently grasped the Green-blue Sword.

Instantly, through the resonance of the Dual Swords, she perceived the other’s current Primordial Spirit and memories, as well as all his experiences from a thousand years ago...

...

In a silent, wordless moment, she closed her eyes and plunged into the Cloud Sea of Gu Yun Mountain with him.

My Great Tao... I have found it...

Heroine Yan held him close, gazing down. Her pale complexion suddenly flushed with a faint rosiness, and she gently kissed him.

It is not in the heavens, but in... the mortal world.

「At the same time.」

In a certain someone’s rapidly fading Sea of Consciousness, the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram.

A clear and resolute figure materialized, shining with a gentle radiance...
