Beyond the vast sea sky curtain, countless immortal ships were transported out of the spatial passage, and in an instant, these war machines exceeded ten thousand.
While it was difficult to find ascendants on the primal earth, cultivators on the Dao path were readily available for the Immortal Dynasty and great sects.
And when over ten thousand Dao soldiers piloted immortal ships and formed formations with the power of arrays, it was not impossible to fight against ascendants!
These immortal ship Dao soldiers, soaring through the heavens and earth, were one of the foundations of Da Zhen's dominance over the world!
Montaigne, holding a long saber, stood on the foremost Spirit Treasure Immortal Ship, gazing at the vast sea sky curtain with eyes full of bone-chilling hatred.
The renowned general of Da Zhen waved his long saber, "Wind! Great Wind!"
On ten thousand immortal ships, a million Dao soldiers simultaneously activated the power of their formations. Under the operation of infinite spiritual power, brilliant radiance erupted in front of the immortal ships!
Boom!!!
Amidst continuous explosions, under the simultaneous volleys of ten thousand ships, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth vibrated.
And the vast sea sky curtain, which had remained undisturbed by Montaigne's bombardment, finally tore open a rift under the onslaught of infinite artillery fire!
A trace of cruelty flashed in Montaigne's eyes, and he waved his long saber again;
"All troops! Attack! Anyone from the Vast Sea Demon Race shall be killed without mercy!!!"
On the immortal ship vessels, the Dao soldiers silently piloted their ships. They were war machines cultivated by Da Zhen, and executing orders was the sole value of their existence.
The immortal ships propelled forward in unison, about to breach the rift in the sky curtain.
Above the immortal ship army, several supreme existences stood at the pinnacle of the firmament, like great suns hanging in the sky, unreservedly exuding their immortal might into this world!
Qin Su, who had previously harbored intense hatred for Chen Luo, was now suspended beside the most dazzling golden sun.
Arrogant and overbearing as he was, he now displayed utmost reverence, and when he looked at the golden great sun, a trace of fear, imperceptible even to himself, flickered deep within his eyes:
"Father Emperor! That Vast Sea Demon Race has insulted my Da Zhen! I implore Father Emperor to seek justice for your son, and for General Montaigne!"
In the depths of the void, Qin Su, as an ascendant, felt as if he were being scrutinized by a lofty deity.
And a voice, devoid of joy or sorrow, emanated from within the golden great sun:
"After General Montaigne slaughters the Vast Sea, the Grand Ascendant of the Vast Sea shall be yours to deal with!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Su's expression lit up with joy, but the next moment, he heard the Lord of the Da Zhen Immortal Dynasty say:
"After this matter is concluded, prepare yourself to ascend the throne!"
Qin Su's expression stiffened, but it was immediately followed by uncontrollable ecstasy.
Yes, Father has finally decided to let go! How could the ninth level of Ascension, the ultimate of the mortal realm, remain in the world forever!
This Immortal Dynasty will ultimately be mine!
But what Qin Su could not see was that within the radiance of the golden great sun, the Lord of the Da Zhen Immortal Dynasty looked at him as if he were already dead.
Seeing the immortal ships about to enter in an orderly fashion, a slightly smaller pink sun floated closer to the golden great sun:
"Your Majesty Qin Shang, might you grant this old one some face? The Princess Linglong of the Vast Sea has a connection with my Yu Xian Sect's true disciple... I beg you..."
If the Da Zhen Lord Qin Shang, transformed into the golden great sun, was as magnificent, overbearing, and invincible as the sun itself,
Then the pink sun emitted a decadent radiance, which, just by looking at it, naturally ignited the fires of desire within one's body.
Facing the plea from the Dao Master Ascendant of the Yu Xian Sect, the Lord of the Da Zhen Immortal Dynasty within the golden great sun did not even offer a hint of a response.
A faint, imperceptible sneer appeared on Qin Su's lips. What do you Yu Xian Sect think you are, to expect the Lord of my Da Zhen to give you face?
Within the pink great sun, a maiden whose vital parts were covered only by sheer gauze, seeing Qin Shang's arrogance, a hint of anger flashed in her beautiful peach blossom eyes:
"Your Majesty Qin Shang, I am, after all, a Dao Master Ascendant. Is it not even permissible for me to protect a Dragon Princess?"
Upon hearing this, a detached gaze finally emanated from within the golden great sun.
The Taoist Immortal, upon being subjected to this gaze, felt a chill in her heart. She, who mastered the Dao of Desire, now felt a piercing sense of danger!
"Scram!"
A merciless reprimand echoed from within the golden great sun. The Taoist Immortal's chest trembled with anger, but considering the opponent's unparalleled combat power, she could only fly away resentfully, cursing inwardly:
"What a domineering Da Zhen Lord! So overbearing! I curse your conjugal life to be unsuccessful! Humph!
After Ascension, there are three major stages: Huahong, Fashen, and Zhangdao.
The primary cultivation in the Huahong stage is to enhance the purity of immortal essence and one's divine sense and will.
When one can permanently maintain the Huahong flowing light state at all times, they have truly reached the peak of Huahong. Only such top-tier Huahong Ascendants have the confidence to overcome the three immortal tribulations and enter the Fashen realm.
The Fashen stage is based on the eternal Huahong state, using boundless immortal essence and divine sense will to construct one's own Fashen.
For example, Montaigne's majestic four-faced, eight-armed image was his reliance for conquering the world, and it was a Fashen that would only fully form at the sixth level of Ascension.
At this stage, a Fashen Ascendant could move mountains and overturn seas with every action, enjoying infinite power.
However, even a top-tier Fashen like Montaigne dared not lightly claim to have confidence in entering the Zhangdao realm.
The last three levels of Ascension are known as the Zhangdao realm.
Those who have reached Zhangdao control one principle of heaven and earth.
For example, the Taoist Immortal, as a Grand Ascendant of the Yu Xian Sect, controls and comprehends the Dao of Desire.
As mentioned before, over the past million years, the cultivation world has developed a system known as the Five Dao Protecting Methods.
These Five Dao Protecting Methods can, in a sense, be called the general outline of the Great Dao of this world.
And anyone who becomes a Grandmaster of any of these methods is a top-tier powerhouse on the primal earth.
For instance, although Long Ji is at the sixth level of Fashen, she could escape from Qin Shang by relying on her mastery of formations.
However, the Five Methods are too vast, and to become a Grandmaster, opportunity, comprehension, and inheritance are all indispensable.
Therefore, cultivators often take alternative paths, diligently researching a small Dao within the Five Methods.
Although their comprehensiveness is not comparable to the Five Dao Protecting Methods, they possess considerable merit in a particular domain.
For example, Ye Tianshui, the sect leader of the Water Immortal Sect, has stepped into the Dao of Water.
And to step into the Zhangdao realm, in addition to ultimate Fashen cultivation, the degree of comprehension in a certain Dao is also essential!
The Grandmaster realm is the fundamental requirement for breaking through!
After breaking through, the Dao that the Fashen has mastered will transform into the principle they control.
Of course, becoming a Grandmaster of the Five Dao Protecting Methods is too difficult, so most Fashen Ascendants meticulously study some minor Daos, becoming Grandmasters in a certain minor Dao, in pursuit of breakthrough.
The power of the Ascendant naturally varies greatly depending on the Dao they master.
Among them, the most top-tier Zhangdao are naturally those who break through by achieving the Grandmaster realm of the Five Dao Protecting Methods.
As for why Long Ji has not yet undergone tribulation after becoming a Grandmaster of formations?
This has to consider her identity as a true dragon.
