Chapter 1 The Ancestral Altar

The altar was extremely ancient, possessing countless years.

Hundreds of cultivators surrounded the altar, praying devoutly. In reality, they weren't performing some kind of ritual, but simply offering a simple sacrifice.

However, at that moment, the altar's spiritual energy surged violently, and all the cultivators were instantly shocked.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that we can reconnect with the Immortal Realm?"

"Hiss! The Ancestral Altar is showing its power! The Ancestral Altar is showing its power!"

The cultivators were astonished.

They were cultivators of the Fa Xian Sect (Slaying Immortal Sect), specializing in upholding justice on behalf of Heaven. They believed that the luck of Heaven and Earth was limited, and that cultivators with high "yan zhi" (beauty, appearance) occupied more of it. To maintain the balance of Heaven and Earth, they had to kill or restrict these lucky cultivators.

That was why they were called the Fa Xian Sect!

The Fa Xian Sect's greatest ability since ancient times was the ability to communicate with the Immortal Realm. But since millions of years ago, no one knew what happened, they were unable to communicate with the Immortal Realm. Once they lost the protection of the Immortal Realm,

the Fa Xian Sect naturally declined. Even after millions of years, the Fa Xian Sect still had strong individuals, but compared to the holy lands of the world, they had no strength to speak of.

Today, they were gathered together, discussing the matter of Qing Yun Daoren.

Before the discussion, they naturally had to worship the Ancestral Altar, but what they did not expect was that the Ancestral Altar actually reacted at this moment.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The light converged in the next moment, and soon a phantom appeared in front of everyone.

Even though it was a phantom, it still exuded an extremely terrifying aura, making people fearful.

"We pay our respects to the Immortal!"

Everyone knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed without any hesitation.

"Eh?" The phantom let out a faint sound, glanced at everyone, and then couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that after millions of years of severed communication, the Fa Xian Sect has fallen to this point?"

His voice was magnificent and full of curiosity.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was even more convinced and extremely excited.

"Reporting to the Immortal, since we have been unable to communicate with the Immortal Realm, the Fa Xian Sect is not as good as before, and has lost the ability to dominate this world. Especially in the past few days, we have suffered heavy losses. Please, Immortal, take action and uphold justice for us."

In the Fa Xian Sect, an old man knelt on the ground and said loudly, even shedding tears, looking very miserable.

"What a bunch of useless things."

However, the immortal phantom spoke coldly. He was high above and showed extraordinary demeanor, but precisely because of this, everyone was even more convinced that he was an immortal.

"Please forgive us, Immortal!"

"Please forgive us, Immortal!"

Everyone spoke quickly, without any anger at all.

"Very well! Seeing that you have been loyal to your duties, I will bestow upon you a stroke of good fortune."

As the voice sounded, in an instant, beams of immortal light struck everyone. In an instant, everyone was reborn, thousands of years younger, with vigorous qi and blood, and their realms skyrocketed. This was the strength of an immortal.

"Thank you, Immortal! Thank you, Immortal!"

Everyone was even more frantic and excited, and the last trace of doubt disappeared.

However, the voice of this immortal resounded again.

"Upper Immortal, why have you manifested yourself this time?"

Someone spoke, taking the initiative to ask.

"This time, I do indeed have important matters for you to handle. The matter is not difficult. Kill all those who possess great luck, without letting a single one go. If you discover someone with heaven-defying luck, report it immediately. Here are ten Incense of Burning Immortals; as long as you light them, I will appear."

"Also, I will bestow upon each of you a mouthful of immortal water, which can allow you to break through your cultivation, and I will also pass on to you several immortal techniques. If this matter is done well, you will certainly benefit. But if it is not done well... there is no need for you to live."

He was very indifferent, first giving everyone a date, then a club.

"Yes, yes, yes, we will never disappoint the Upper Immortal."

"Please rest assured, Upper Immortal, we will definitely handle this matter properly."

The cultivators spoke one after another.

"However, Upper Immortal, a few days ago, there was a person who killed eight of our elders in a row, wanting to eliminate us before ascending. We hope that the Upper Immortal can take action and suppress this person."

One of the only two remaining Tribulation Realm experts knelt on the ground and said this.

The immortal phantom was silent for a moment, then raised his hand, and in an instant, a Lightning Talisman and a Treasure Talisman appeared on the altar.

"I cannot manifest myself temporarily and need to wait for some time."

"However, this is a Jiu Xuan (Nine Mysterious) Lightning Averting Talisman. Since he wants to ascend, you can take action on the day of his ascension. It can increase the difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation. And with the Lightning Talisman in your hands, you don't need to worry about being implicated. There is also a Divine Speed Talisman, which can shatter the void, so as to avoid them setting up defensive formations."

The other party bestowed a Lightning Talisman and a Divine Speed Talisman, causing everyone to be overjoyed.

The thing that people fear most during ascension tribulation is someone exchanging their life for another.

The Lightning Tribulation must be undergone by one person alone, and no one else can help. But if someone wants to forcibly intervene, it will arouse Heaven and Earth's fury, and then the Lightning Tribulation will be strengthened, becoming extremely terrifying.

But with this Lightning Talisman, there was nothing to fear.

"Alright, if there are important matters, contact me with the Incense of Burning Immortals. Remember, all those with luck bestowed upon them must be killed, without leaving a single one alive!"

The voice gradually disappeared, and this immortal phantom also disappeared from the altar.

Soon, a gourd and several scriptures appeared, containing immortal water and immortal techniques.

At this moment, everyone scrambled for them.

At the same time.

Da Luo Holy Land.

Lu Changsheng was alone on the main peak, also beginning his planning.

His master was about to ascend.

Lu Changsheng couldn't possibly not care about this matter.

But he could not interfere, nor could he intervene, in matters such as tribulation.

However, Lu Changsheng could not stand idly by.

He was engraving formation platforms.

One killing formation and defensive formation after another were engraved by Lu Changsheng.

Almost half of Immortal Langya's treasures were emptied.

Although he was not very sure, Lu Changsheng wanted to create a double insurance. Although there were thirteen Tribulation Realm experts protecting his master's tribulation.

If enemies came, it would still not be enough.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng engraved these formations, preparing to give those who harbored ill intentions a great gift.

Moreover, because his realm had been elevated to the Yuanying Realm, Lu Changsheng could already be considered a half-step Formation Celestial Master.

The formations he engraved were terrifying.

Although he didn't know how powerful they were, they should... perhaps... be able to repel a Tribulation Realm expert, right?

If the worst came to the worst, he would personally take action.

Although he had never fought before, with the supreme divine ability of "words become law" in his grasp, Lu Changsheng was really not afraid of anyone.

Moreover, there was also a Tribulation Realm Qilin here, which could be considered a great helper.

In short, whatever should be done, and whatever should not be done, Qing Yun Daoren successfully ascending was the most important thing.

In this way, seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

And on this morning.

An incomparably loud voice resounded throughout the Da Luo Holy Land.

"Today! I, Qing Yun Daoren, will undergo tribulation and ascend. The position of Da Luo Holy Master will be passed on to my eldest disciple, Lu Changsheng!"

As the voice rang out.

In an instant, the Da Luo Holy Land was in an uproar.
