Chapter 262 Ascension

In the first ring area, on a cliff.

A huge flesh and blood tree, as tall as a hundred feet, grows proudly.

On the huge flesh and blood tree, there are branches that look like human arms. There are no leaves on it, but it is full of holes.

When the wind blows, it makes a humming sound, as if countless people are crying in sorrow.

If it is matched with the 238 little dolls hanging on the branches, it will be even more weird and vivid.

This is the sacred tree and the grass elixir it breeds.

At a certain moment, the huge flesh and blood tree trembled, and more than a dozen grass elixir fell from the branches and fell to the ground.

At the moment of contact with the ground, the originally little dolls turned into more than a dozen old and shriveled old men and women.

"No, no, the sacred tree should not give up on us!"

"We want to go home, we want to go home!"

After revealing their true form, more than a dozen extremely hunched and curled figures crawled towards the huge flesh and blood tree.

However, as if they had lost the support of some kind of power, their shriveled bodies began to lose vitality rapidly.

Woo, a breeze blew, dust flew in the air, and the dozen figures disappeared.

…

"Zhou Junqi, how are you? Can you still hold on?"

"Minos has already failed. If you have problems again, we will lose this time!"

At some point, a figure appeared under the flesh and blood giant tree, looking at the shaking tree with great concern.

After a long time, the shaking of the tree finally stopped, and the remaining grass pills on the tree also escaped.

"Wu Yaoquan, this time we really lost!"

"We encountered a tough guy, who not only escaped, but also exploded in the space of the sacred tree."

"I am just barely suppressing the restlessness of the sacred tree now. It will take at least three months to completely calm it down."

On the branch of the flesh and blood giant tree, a grass pill suddenly transformed into the appearance of Zhou Jiuyou and spoke slowly.

…

"Three months?"

"Doesn't this mean that within three months, you will not be able to go deep into the life magnetic field network and look for the [Immortal Light]."

"Now is not the same as before. There are too many outsiders on Shengxian Island."

"If someone else gets the [Immortal Light], then we will be making wedding clothes for others."

When Wu Yaoquan heard that it would take three months to calm the restlessness of the sacred tree, his face immediately became gloomy.

Damn Feng Zining, she dared to ruin their business, which was really hateful.

…

"There is nothing we can do about it. Although I have integrated into the sacred tree, the time is still short, and I can't completely suppress the instinct of the sacred tree after all."

"Maybe we took the wrong step back then."

"Immortal Light, Shengxian Pill, for this thing, we did not hesitate to cooperate with the guy in the seal, but in the end it was all in vain."

"Maybe dying in battle early back then would be the best ending."

Zhou Junqi's tone was full of regret, but Wu Yaoquan didn't care.

"Old Zhou, you are not in the right state now!"

"It was just a small accident. I didn't expect that the injury to the sacred tree would have such a big impact on you. You actually lost your fighting spirit."

"When we planned to get the immortal pill, it was a decision made by the five of us together. In order to ensure that everyone got an equal share of one, we even excluded Erica."

"You also saw what happened to Delia. She was the first one among the seven of us to try to be promoted to a silver apostle, and she was also the one most likely to succeed among the seven of us."

"She failed, how could we succeed?"

"We are stronger than her, the transformation involved is deeper, and there are more conflicts in our bodies."

"If you want to be promoted to a silver apostle, I'm afraid there is no chance of 1/10000."

"But we can't go back to the academy anymore. Are we going to be trapped in Shengxian Island for the rest of our lives?"

"And once Shengxian Island returns to the world, are we still qualified to live without enough strength?"

"The Shengxian Pill is our only hope and choice. We have done it. There is nothing to regret."

Wu Yaoquan's tone was full of indifference. He never regretted the decisions he made.

After Zhou Junqi merged with the sacred tree, he was really useless.

That's right, the evil and strange thing like the flesh and blood giant tree will affect people's mind.

After all, its birth was so bloody and cruel.

...

After the birth of the blood moon, the seven of them guarded the seal while plotting to be promoted to silver apostles.

However, although Shengxian Island is rich in resources and has a lot of things to improve strength, it is useless to them at all, and it will only increase their failure rate.

Except for a few special areas in the first ring, they searched almost all of Shengxian Island, but unfortunately they still didn't find the opportunity.

Originally, this was nothing. After all, they were full of fantasies about themselves after their strength was improved and their self-confidence was inflated.

But Delia's miserable situation after the failure of the promotion directly poured cold water on them and woke them up completely.

If there is no miracle, it will be extremely difficult for them to be promoted to Silver Apostles. It is best to write a will in advance.

Under this desperate oppression, some people chose to retreat and be content with the status quo, such as Erica.

This person chose to use time to grind hard and constantly polish their spirituality.

Some people chose to go to extremes and make more thorough transformations.

Wu Yaoquan and Zhou Junqi chose to "take risks" and stepped into the forbidden areas in the first ring area.

…

There are a total of seven restricted areas in the first ring area, namely, the hell path, the reincarnation path, the heaven and human path, the private research room of the biochemical path, and a joint laboratory.

I don’t know what was going on in these laboratories. Anyway, after the time and space turbulence occurred on Shengxian Island, it got out of control, and even those outside beings were unwilling to set foot on it.

In addition to these five restricted areas, the other two restricted areas originated from other forces in ancient times.

It is even more mysterious and has existed there for at least a thousand years.

The target chosen by Wu Yaoquan and Zhou Junqi was Tian Ren Dao's private laboratory.

Unlike the vast majority of ordinary elite students who do not know the truth about this ten-school joint examination, Wu Yaoquan knows a little bit about the true purpose of this trip.

Don't look at the task issued by this assessment, which is for them to clean up a bunch of laboratories where the Yakuza organization has been messing around here.

But this is just incidental. The top ten super spell academies do not pay attention to these Yakuza organizations at all.

The real goal of the academy is the remnants of the [Heavenly Human Society].

…

[Celestial Being Club] was the third target cleared after v5 teamed up.

Of course, that's just hitting it hard.

These ancient sects are deeply rooted in human civilization and cannot be eradicated in a short time.

After the establishment of the World Government, if anyone is the most unlucky, it must be the [Heavenly Human Society].

After all, the foundation of the world government is the new law, and the [Heavenly Human Society] is the most hated heresy by the "ancestor" who created the "Spirit Realm Declaration".

The "disciples and grandchildren" who have grown up practicing the new method will naturally pay special attention to the [Heavenly Human Society] when cleaning up the inner world.

Anyway, the Celestial Being Society was the first of all sects to completely disappear.

But this does not mean that they are completely extinct. Every few hundred years, there will always be a few remnants of heavenly beings jumping out and showing their faces.

After all, the inheritance of the Celestial Society is quite attractive. What they practice is the "way of ascension". The Celestial Immortal is just the starting point, and the Great Luo Jinxian is the goal.

Under the temptation of immortality and immortality, almost every lucky person who has received the inheritance from the Celestial Society cannot help but practice some cultivation.

…

About 10 years before the joint entrance examination of the ten schools, a strange rumor began to leak out in the inner world.

There is a remnant who has received the inheritance from the Celestial Society and is about to undergo an "ascension experiment."

No one knows how this news spread, but as the leaders of the inner world, the top ten super spell academies will naturally not ignore it.

They regard themselves as the direct descendants of the founder and are the most loyal supporters of the new law.

A mere shabby settler from the Celestial Society actually dares to get in trouble in the inner world?

If we don't find that guy and step on him 10,000 times, where will the reputation of the top ten super spell schools be?

After making up their minds, the top ten super spell academies began to search for this newly born "celestial being" and find his place of ascension.

Ascension Island is one of the key targets targeted by the top ten super spell academies.

Who gave this place an auspicious name, and heavenly beings have ascended here long ago!

Although that heavenly being failed, he became a joke in the other world.

But maybe this junior wants to avenge his senior’s shame!

…

Since Shengxian Island has been listed as a key target of suspicion, the top ten super spell academies will certainly not act secretly, but plan to sweep away all the garbage on the island.

So there was the joint examination of ten schools.

It's a pity that this Immortal Island is not only not the place chosen by the people of that day to ascend, but also left its methods here long ago.

The sudden space-time turmoil on Shengxian Island was caused by that heavenly being.

The top ten super spell academies have suffered a big loss.

…

The reason why Wu Yaoquan and Zhou Junqi chose the laboratory of Tianren Dao is because the origin of "Tianren Dao" has something to do with "Tianrenhui".

Of course, this relationship must not be too "harmonious", otherwise Tianrendao would have been unable to survive in the inner world.

The origin of the Way of Heaven and Humanity is very simple. It was just a group of people who wanted to become immortals. They accidentally dug up the grave of a certain Heavenly Being and gained some benefits.

As a result, he got out of control and began to search for the remains of heavenly beings all over the world.

Shengxian Island is a "holy land" of Heaven and Humanity, that is, the "remaining land" that has not been completely excavated.

Almost all of the transformation methods used by Wu Yaoquan and others came from several other Yakuza organizations.

On the contrary, the way of heaven and humanity is too mysterious, and they have never been exposed to the technology it masters.

So they put their last hope in Tianrendao's laboratory, hoping to find a new way out.

As a result, they actually found it!

After paying a heavy price, they finally broke through Tianrendao's laboratory, and then learned about the existence of the Shengxian Pill.

There is such a magical thing in the world. After taking it, it can enhance the spirituality of life without any consequences.

The spiritual frequencies of Wu Yaoquan and others were all stuck at 200, and they could no longer improve on their own.

If with the help of the Immortal Ascension Pill, the spiritual frequency can exceed 200 and reach a higher level, wouldn't it be logical to become a Silver Apostle?

…

At first, Wu Yaoquan and the others thought they were overthinking and just dreaming.

But when they learned the truth about the Shengxian Pill, they realized that they were just idiots.

The magic of the Immortal Pill is far beyond their imagination, because this thing has another name, "Immortal Spirit".

Its birth is actually related to the immortal medicine of Shengxian Island.

And it was also in Tianrendao's laboratory that Wu Yaoquan and others finally learned the truth about the elixir of immortality.

…

The "ascension" pursued by the Association of Heavenly Beings, or Heavenly Beings, is essentially a kind of "transcendence of consciousness."

First, they will integrate everything in themselves and cultivate it into a golden elixir.

Then use the golden elixir as an elixir furnace to absorb the shadow of the soul for smelting.

After this operation, a wonderful existence called Nascent Soul can be born.

Since the shadow of the soul itself is the shadow cast by the soul from higher dimensions, the Nascent Soul that smelts the shadow of the soul is also connected with the soul.

The subsequent ascension is to use this connection to upgrade the Nascent Soul.

To be more precise, it is the Nascent Soul that forcibly pulls the soul to ascend.

If successful, Nascent Soul can enter [Scale 0] and complete the transcendence of consciousness.

After that, you only need to continue to climb up, and sooner or later, your consciousness will settle in your soul and become a primordial spirit.

After cultivating to become a Celestial Immortal, you can upgrade your soul to another dimension and continuously increase your soul scale until it reaches [Scale 20].

And if we can go one step further, and the soul directly enters high-dimensional time and space, we can achieve the so-called "Great Luo Golden Immortal".

This is the way of cultivation for heavenly beings.

…

The reason why this person on Shengxian Island has become a laughing stock among heavenly beings and a joke in this world.

It was because when he ascended, Nascent Soul finally stopped at scale 0, but was dragged back again.

The ending, of course, is that the Nascent Soul is shattered and completely gray.

The reason why this happened was because his golden elixir was eaten by an ordinary person.

Golden elixir is extremely important to heavenly beings, it is the raft that lives in the world.

After cultivating the Nascent Soul, what you fear most is being contaminated by the aura of the outside world.

Once it is contaminated with the outside atmosphere, Nascent Soul is equivalent to falling into a mud puddle and being covered in a thick layer of mud.

How can one soar when he is so heavy?

At this time, the role of the golden elixir appears. It can be fired in a furnace in time to ensure the purity of the Nascent Soul.

Even if the ascension is successful, if heavenly beings want to interfere in the world and descend into consciousness, the best carrier is still the golden elixir.

The unlucky thing about that heavenly man was that he had just succeeded in ascension, and before the Nascent Soul could cut off its connection with the golden elixir, his golden elixir was eaten by a mortal.

This was more than just being polluted by the breath and covered in a layer of mud. It was like a huge mountain was hanging directly below the Nascent Soul.

As a result, the Nascent Soul, which had just completed its transformation at scale 0, was directly dragged back to the world.

Scale 0 is an extremely mysterious state, a superposition of high and low dimensions.

Once you fall from scale zero to the world, it will inevitably be accompanied by decay.

…

When the Nascent Soul decays, heaven and humans will inevitably die.

The mortal beings who were the culprits gained the immortal power brought back by the gods.

What kind of situation happened in the middle is not recorded in detail in Tianrendao's laboratory.

But although that mortal Zhou Jiuyou gained immortal power, he also suffered the curse of heaven and man.

He gained immortality at the cost of devouring all his descendants.

Otherwise, he would not be able to control the immortal power, and his consciousness would be completely swallowed by the physical body.

Zhou Jiuyou's physical body has been fused with the golden elixir and immortal power, turning into an extremely evil existence that is no longer completely under his control.

Originally, according to the curse of heaven and man, Zhou Jiuyou suffered endless pain, and after his bloodline was severed, he would be devoured by his body.

The incredible result was that Zhou Jiuyou not only survived, but also regained control of his physical body, and then the "Sacred Tree" was born.

After that, Zhou Jiuyou not only saved his life with the grass-returning elixir, but also began to study "how to replenish himself and ascend again!"

The Immortal Pill, or the Immortal Spirit, is the result of his research.

The materials for refining the elixir are human beings who have naturally awakened spirituality.

The human spirituality that awakens naturally is the purest and purest.

Combined with the power of immortality, it can create an existence similar to the Nascent Soul, an immortal spirit.

In Zhou Jiuyou's plan, he only needs to gather 9 immortal spirits to transform his consciousness and reach level 0 again.

But it is so difficult to find humans with natural spiritual awakening, not to mention that Zhou Jiuyou is still trapped on Shengxian Island.

The existence of the sacred tree requires a large amount of spiritual energy to maintain, and it can only survive in areas with high spiritual energy concentration such as Shengxian Island.

To it, the inner world is a dry desert, and going out means death.

But I have to say that Zhou Jiuyou is very smart and thought of artificially raising spiritually awakened people.

And only he can do this kind of thing. After all, he has no shortage of time and immortal power and can afford to wait.

It's a pity that Zhou Jiuyou had only created 6 immortal spirits before he was approached by Heaven and Humanity.

…

It has to be said that Tian Ren Dao's methods are so good that he has continued the bloodline of the Zhou family.

The Zhou family was not fools back then, although they could not resist the call of their bloodline and eventually became completely extinct.

But in the end, they dispersed all their wealth, found some means from the other world, and retained a batch of life seeds.

This batch of life seeds eventually fell into the hands of Heaven and Humanity, and they eventually created the Zhou family bloodline again.

What is extremely strange is that with the birth of the Zhou family bloodline, the curse left by the gods reappeared.

The sacred tree began to devour the Zhou family's bloodline again, but these bloodlines were the work of heaven and humanity, how could there not be some ingredients in them?

After a round of bargaining, Tianrendao successfully captured Zhou Jiuyou and obtained an immortal spirit from him.

The laboratory that Wu Yaoquan and others broke into was the base for studying the immortal spirit.

The strange existence they encountered when they broke into the laboratory was the immortal spirit after alienation and loss of control.

Unfortunately, it did not seem to be really immortal. Although it was difficult to kill, it was still wiped out by Wu Yaoquan and others.

After Wu Yaoquan and others learned about the existence of the Ascension Pill, they set their sights on the sacred tree.

They did not intend to bargain with Zhou Jiuyou, the old fox. They only had one copy of the Zhou family bloodline obtained from the laboratory, and they could not control the old guy at all.

They planned to grab it in one step and rob it directly!

...

In order to ensure that they could grab the Ascension Pill without any mistakes, Wu Yaoquan and others decided to occupy the magpie's nest.

First, Zhou Junqi fused and refined the Zhou family bloodline, and then they jointly sealed the one who pulled Zhou Jiuyou's consciousness into the seal.

After the sacred tree lost Zhou Jiuyou's consciousness, Zhou Junqi, who had integrated himself into the sacred tree, could take the opportunity to occupy the nest.

It can be said that everything went very successfully. The one in the seal was very happy to have someone accompany him. With the cooperation of inside and outside, Zhou Jiuyou was fooled.

The various means left by Tianrendao played an indispensable role in this.

Zhou Junqi also took charge of the sacred tree very smoothly. The only mistake was that they underestimated the degree of backlash of the sacred tree's body. They were in a hurry for a while and let the five immortal pills escape into the giant net of the life magnetic field.

Originally, this was not a big problem. As long as there was enough time, they could always catch them one by one.

But who would have thought that only half a year later, the Ascension Island had another time and space turbulence.

This time, there was actually a true seed.

In fact, what Feng Zining didn't know was that just when she was about to enter the Ascension Island, the Yunshan and the seal that sensed her existence began to move abnormally.

Wu Yaoquan and others certainly didn't want Feng Zining to "control everything", so they once again joined forces with the one in the seal and sent Feng Zining into the sacred tree space.

Unexpectedly, she still escaped and even severely damaged the sacred tree, making it impossible for them to continue to hunt down the immortal spirit.

This is really too hateful!
