Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1654: Chapter 769: The Mahayana Ancestors’ Hope and the Secret Method to Sneak into the Immortal Realm (Part 2)

It can even help them ascend to the Immortal Realm.

This is simply an irresistible temptation for many Mahayana ancients.

After all, the reason they’ve survived until today is to become immortals.

Now that they’ve finally found a way, they’re impossible to refuse.

Thus, Jiang Fan doesn’t need to do much persuading; one by one, the ancients bow down.

Of course, initially, these ancients were still half-believing.

But quickly, Jiang Fan sent the first batch of Mahayana cultivators to the Immortal Realm, completely driving the remaining Mahayana ancestors insane.

Some even regretted not being the first batch of candidates to ascend.

If they had believed earlier, they might have reached the Immortal Realm already, rather than lingering in the Mortal World.

"Finally, there’s a chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm. It’s so wonderful; I wonder what it’s like."

"As Lord Sect Master said, the Immortal Realm isn’t an idyllic paradise; it might even be more frightening than the mortal world. Due to the wars of the Ancient Era, most of the Immortal Realm is occupied by demons, with only a small portion left for the various Immortal races. So even if we do ascend to the Immortal Realm, we might still face terrible disasters and threats."

"The Immortal Realm actually has demons? It seems the previous rumors are true, the demons came from the Immortal Realm, thus making their power terrifying and their numbers endless, no matter how many are killed."

Many Mahayana ancestors discussed this.

In fact, thanks to Jiang Fan’s disclosure, these ancients have more or less learned some information about the Immortal Realm.

After all, having these ancients ascend to the Immortal Realm is also beneficial for Jiang Fan.

Because he needs some close aides.

Even as a Golden Immortal, he still needs a lot of manpower to establish various enterprises.

Can’t possibly do everything himself.

Don’t be fooled by these ancients who have been Mahayana cultivators for so long.

In fact, that’s due to the closed ascension pathway from the Mortal Realm.

If they can ascend to the Immortal Realm, they’d be considered geniuses there.

Totally meeting the beginner threshold for the Time Sect.

With a little time, they could easily advance to True Immortal, even Earth Immortal.

So these people are fairly good helpers.

Moreover, their Lifespan is nearing its end.

If they continue staying in the Mortal World, it’s a dead end.

Since that’s the case, they might as well ascend to the Immortal Realm, becoming True Immortals.

"As Lord Sect Master said, the Immortal Realm is not a pure land, even advancing to True Immortal is merely becoming a bigger ant, when faced with enemies, it’s still a dead end."

"Heh, so what if it is? All of us ancients are almost dying of old age, even staying here won’t prolong much longer; better to venture into the Immortal Realm."

"Exactly, even if the Immortal Realm is more dangerous, it’s countless times better than the Mortal World. At least there’s hope for further progress, while staying in the Mortal Realm holds no hope."

"I’ve been sleeping for countless years; my greatest desire is to ascend to the Immortal Realm and see its landscapes, so I won’t give up no matter what."

"It’s a pity we didn’t seize the opportunity earlier, were too cautious, allowing those old folks to grab the chance, ascending ahead of us, supposedly they’ve already advanced to True Immortal—damn it!"

Zhou Wuwei and other Mahayana cultivators are filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

After all, they came from the Ten Great Sects as Mahayana cultivators, very familiar with each other.

Almost considered from the same era.

Now seeing former competitors ascending to the Immortal Realm before them and successfully advancing to True Immortal is a huge blow.

But sometimes reality is such, opportunity fleeting.

If others grasp it, and one can’t, it creates a vast distance.

Thankfully, the path to the Immortal Realm hasn’t been completely blocked.

Otherwise, they’d die with regrets.

"According to Lord Sect Master, after an hour, the smuggling to the Immortal Realm can begin."

"So is there anything in the Mortal World you haven’t completed?"

"Any unresolved grievances?"

"Because once you ascend to the Immortal Realm, you can never return to the Mortal World."

"Everything in the Mortal World will no longer concern us."

"Therefore, if there are unresolved matters, best to quickly settle them."

Zhou Wuwei spoke, looking at the other Mahayana ancestors.

As Mahayana ancestors, not only are they sect ancestors, but possibly family ancestors too.

If they truly ascend to the Immortal Realm, the power of the sect and family may weaken greatly.

Of course, the sect was already annihilated, naturally, there’s no worry there.

However, family descendants still exist, having survived disasters.

If one ascends to the Immortal Realm, they can’t protect these descendants.

It might even lead to the family’s complete decline.

"There’s nothing left; all my karmic ties are completely severed."

"Indeed, it’s been so many years, my relatives and friends have long perished, the surviving descendants are strangers, distant in generations."

"Exactly, now our only wish is to become immortals; everything else is trivial; all karmic ties long severed."

"I have some apprehensions about descendants, but I’ve made all arrangements, done all I could. If they can’t sustain the family, it’s their destiny."

Many Mahayana ancestors spoke calmly.

They are well aware that once they ascend to the Immortal Realm, they can never return.

Yet they’ve lived so long, most relatives and descendants have perished.

Time’s power erases countless karmic ties.

Originally, the sect was a concern, but now the sect was annihilated by demons and swallowed by the Primordial Talisman Sect, taking away even that thought, leaving ascension as the sole wish.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

After these words, many Mahayana ancestors realized it was about time, they immediately flew up, heading towards a forbidden zone in the Primordial Secret Realm.

The so-called forbidden zone is also known as the Ascension Platform.

This area holds no special characteristics but connects the Mortal World and the Immortal Realm.

However, to prevent secrets from leaking, ordinary cultivators are forbidden to approach.

Only Mahayana cultivators can come to the Ascension Platform.

Soon, Zhou Wuwei and the others arrived at the Ascension Platform.

This is a valley, surrounded by mountains, where no creature is allowed near for thousands of miles.

The surroundings are covered with dense restriction arrays and array barriers.

Even if a cultivator approaches, they won’t see anything.

"It’s here."

At this moment, Zhou Wuwei and the others looked up at the sky with eyes full of expectation and excitement.

Even after living so long, facing such a major turning point in life, they couldn’t hide their inner excitement.

After all, this is their goal and hope for countless years.

If they miss this opportunity, who knows when it will come again.

Rumbling~~

In an instant, the sky seemingly tore open, revealing a terrifying void fissure stretching for miles.

Boundless void energy surged around, with terrifying void storms swirling deep in the cracks.

Even a wisp of void storm escaping the crack could destroy hundreds of thousands of kilometers, making life impossible to survive in the area.

Thump!

High above the nine heavens, the vast void convulsed, twisted, as if an invisible giant hand clenched the heavens, fiercely pulling inward.

The boundless sea of clouds shattered, the layers of cloud waves turned into scattered light particles, all Immortal Light swallowed by a tyrannical pitch-black airflow, the sky suddenly darkened, with only a blinding violet-gold three-colored light column exploding from the depths of the void.

Hum—an echoing instrument sound pierced through the thirty-three heavens, ripping through the Immortal Realm, its resonance through layers of realm barriers, through mountains and waters of the Mortal Realm.

From the void rift, an endless long ladder slowly emerged— it was the Immortal Artifact-Stealing Celestial Ladder!
