Chapter 154 Two Immortals Ascend

In the human realm, within a few short years since Zhang Tianshi's ascension, another person had ascended to immortality. The tremor in the sky spread from Shangqing in all directions, reaching thousands of miles. Even as far as the remote Qiantang, crowds gathered to watch the strange phenomena in the sky.

The common people didn't know what was happening. Some kowtowed to the heavens, thinking some mountain spirit was angry. Some scholars pretended to be profound, recklessly claiming these were auspicious or calamitous omens recorded in ancient books. When they found their explanations differed and neither could convince the other, a physical contest between scholars was inevitable, displaying a style of pre-Qin Confucianism not often seen since the Song Dynasty. At this moment, the civility and courtesy advocated by many great Confucians seemed to be forgotten.

In the mountains and wilderness, the Shifang Shensha (Ten Directions Divine Fiends) were alarmed early on. Usually hidden in the world, they were not easily provoked, only revealing themselves when existences at the level of earth immortals released their aura. But this time, across thousands of miles of human land, the Shensha appeared frequently, causing great unrest in many places.

As for the mountain goblins and wild gods, the common people, unaware of what was happening, thought they were responsible and kowtowed everywhere. Some even began to offer sacrifices. How could these spirits not know what was happening...? Well, they really didn't know, but at least they dared not accept the sacrifices, as they didn't care about such things at the moment.

The sky was tilting, like a sign of a great disaster. No one had ever seen anything like it before. Thus, in every human village and town, there was always a knowledgeable, long-lived, and respected person. Similarly, among the monster factions on the mountains, there were also similar figures.

"This should be... someone ascending to immortality."

In a certain mountain wilderness, there were still old demons who recognized the situation. After all, the Ming Dynasty had only been established for two hundred years, and going back to the early Yuan Dynasty, although the human realm was no longer suitable for immortals to stay for long, there were still many old monsters who had lived since then and had seen the power of celestial immortals.

Only a true immortal could cause such a huge phenomenon in this world and cause the frequent appearance of human Shensha. And this was definitely not a remnant immortal or a banished immortal, but a true, flawless celestial immortal!

The younger monsters had never seen such a scene. There had been no immortals since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

This tremor was not only spreading horizontally but also vertically.

Going north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Although the heavenly tremor, covering a thousand miles, had not yet reached the capital, it had already affected Mount Tai. Bixia Yuanjun (Azure Cloud Primordial Monarch) naturally sensed this strange and vast power. Her first reaction was that Ji Xiang had ascended to immortality!

He was already on the verge of ascension, and she knew Ji Xiang's situation best! Moreover, they had previously obtained the Han Dynasty's residual grace together, and their cultivation had greatly improved. At this moment, a surge of qi and blood could not help but rush into her heart!

The entire Mount Tai shook violently!

"Congratulations to the North Pole!"

Her voice was vast. Although it could not reach thousands of miles away, at least all the gods, demons, and fox spirits in the mountains near Mount Tai heard it. Living in Mount Tai for many years, influenced by Bixia Yuanjun, they were naturally familiar with the Beiji Zhenren (North Pole True Man), the Dao Record Division Master.

"The North Pole True Man has become an immortal!"

"Is that the Dao Record Division Master? He seemed to have come here last time, but it's a pity we didn't see him. He's like a divine dragon, only showing his head but not his tail."

The situation below Mount Tai could not be told to these little fox spirits.

The fox spirits didn't care about that. Their first reaction now was that the imperial court was powerful. With the issuance of the Gods Investiture Edict, a large number of lonely souls, wild ghosts, and demons in the mountains were all recruited. As for them, these fox spirit scholars, their future might be bright and broad.

After all, they could only serve as subordinates of Mount Tai, assigned to rural units to be land gods. Now, these land gods were occupied by those lonely souls, wild ghosts, and fake Guan Yu, while they, the orthodox fox spirit graduates from the immortal cultivation class, those with great abilities could stay in Mount Tai to wait for relocation, serving the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox as the Sun and Moon Golden Generals. And those who were not so capable... even if the positions of land gods were all taken, they could still get a position as a small city god in a county, right?

But what surprised them even more was that another aura was rising from Mount Tai!

"Yuanjun is also ascending to immortality?!"

The foxes, dressed in Confucian robes but transformed into a group of fair-skinned children, raised their heads and folded their hands, looking at the top of Mount Tai as if daydreaming.

And this change, the change in Mount Tai, could be felt by Zhang Tianshi in the capital. After all, the Qi dynamic of Mount Tai was directly connected to the capital. How could he not know that the person suppressing Mount Tai was ascending to immortality?

However, Zhang Tianshi frowned slightly when he sensed the ascending aura from Mount Tai.

He had been injured by that strange Celestial Mind Realm before, which greatly damaged his vitality. Was Bixia Yuanjun forcibly breaking through at this juncture to compensate for the lack of combat power?

Although her accumulation of pure Yang Qi was sufficient, it might not be enough to overcome the tribulation of ascending to immortality!

"Bixia Yuanjun! No one has taken over the suppression of Mount Tai. If you fail to ascend to immortality, the country will suffer a great loss! Although your Yang Qi accumulation is sufficient, it is not yet possible to ascend using the method of slaying the three corpses! You must not ascend to immortality now!"

Zhang Tianshi endured the pain and sent a message to Bixia Yuanjun. However, the reply from Mount Tai was:

There is already a second immortal ascending in the human realm. Even if she died at this time, there was no need to worry about Mount Tai losing control. Moreover, she had already obtained the Old Han inheritance, and her strength had greatly improved. Taking advantage of the momentum of that immortal's ascension, she would surely soar into the sky in one fell swoop. Please approve the court.

That was inevitable. For Bixia Yuanjun, the road to ascension had already been paved, only lacking an opportunity.

Moreover, with the divine forms of Tianqi and the Ghost Earl, she almost didn't need to obtain the "immortal form" in the demonic trial. She could directly appear in the world with the images of these two ancient Han gods.

The second immortal ascending?

Zhang Tianshi was only stunned for a moment, even omitting Bixia Yuanjun's so-called "Old Han inheritance." He only learned that someone was ascending to immortality and his expression changed drastically.

He was overjoyed!

"Has my brother's strength recovered and he has returned to his immortal position?"

"What kind of phenomena are occurring?"

He quickly replied. Back then, when he ascended to immortality at Dragon Tiger Mountain, the phenomena that appeared on Zhang Tianshi were not too obvious, only causing the clouds on Dragon Tiger Mountain to steam for three days. Compared to a certain female immortal who had transformed and left in the past, this was already a very high level, but it was still far behind the two old immortals who had destroyed a hundred miles of mountain peaks and burned thousands of miles of green smoke.

However, he was in a hurry to rush to Shuntian to save the situation at the time and did not pay attention to his own phenomena.

The strength of the phenomena could also show the strength of the immortal. Now that the human realm lacked great immortals, if the imperial court could produce a great immortal who could shock the world, then it would have more confidence in putting pressure on the outside world in the future.

"A heavenly tremor! At least a heavenly tremor within a thousand miles!"

"A heavenly tremor?"

Zhang Tianshi was stunned, unable to imagine what kind of scene it was. Bixia Yuanjun knew that Zhang Tianshi might not be clear, so she carefully described the situation of the sky tilting to the northwest, the clouds collapsing like mountains, and the sky shaking like the earth. Mount Tai could see it clearly, but the capital could not, as it was still a long distance away.

Zhang Tianshi began to tremble, trembling with shock. He asked Bixia Yuanjun again:

"That's not right! Although the heavenly tremor of a thousand miles is terrifying, you are not by the side of the person ascending to immortality. How can you have ‘even the chickens and dogs rise to heaven’?”

Although ascending to immortality had great tribulations, and someone interfering in the demonic trial would have very serious consequences, as long as one came into contact with the aura of an immortal after ascending to immortality, it would be of great help to one's ascension.

The King of Huainan was the person involved in the matter of "one person attaining the Dao, even the chickens and dogs rise to heaven." The chickens and dogs in his family could greatly improve their cultivation by eating the dregs of the immortal elixir and ascend to heaven with the immortal, not to mention Bixia Yuanjun, who could already ascend to immortality but wanted to ascend using the "Slaying the Corpse Method"!

This was not a case of chickens and dogs rising to heaven, but a trapped dragon rising to heaven!

"Indeed, I am not by his side, but I have a feeling in my heart... if I don't ascend at this time, it will be difficult in the future!"

This was a whim, a whim at the level of an immortal, which was very accurate. Those feelings in the dark were extremely correct, guiding the way to ascension. After all, opportunities only came once. If you missed it, you wouldn't know when you would have it again!

After Bixia Yuanjun finished speaking, she did not wait for Zhang Tianshi to respond. A pillar of immortality had already risen from her side! And three phantoms were dug out from her body!

She began to slay the three corpses!

As soon as the three corpses appeared, they immediately went to heaven to speak ill of Bixia Yuanjun, but then demonic energy descended. This was the most dangerous time for the slayer of the three corpses. Generally, after slaying the three corpses gods, one would ascend to heaven with Yang Qi and have an immortal body.

But now, it was in the demonic trial!

The three corpses gods often spoke of evil deeds and ruined people's minds, making them the most terrifying in the demonic trial. But if one could slay the three corpses in this examination, what one would obtain was not as simple as an ordinary immortal body!

But rather, an "indestructible body"!

"Bixia! Wait!"

Zhang Tianshi was shocked and immediately tried to stop her, but it was too late. He quickly sensed the situation of the demonic trial over there!

Generally speaking, if one chose the path of slaying the corpses, the Red Heaven Demon King or the Yellow Heaven Demon King would descend, because it was related to the "body," so it was the two of them who descended.

"Huh?!"

Zhang Tianshi sensed it and suddenly his face changed drastically!

There was no aura of a demon king?!

Where did the demon kings go!

At the top of Mount Tai, a pillar of immortality pierced through the demonic sky. There was no figure of a demon king in it. Only a Demon Lord of the Heavens appeared. After taking a look at the Three Corpses Gods in that phantom, it was dispersed by the immortal Qi and could no longer gather.

The demonic trial collapsed suddenly. Above Mount Tai, someone ascended to immortality. Within three hundred miles, the universe suddenly experienced great storms, lightning, and thunder!
