Chapter 686: Finding the Path to Ascension

Gu Jiuchen looked dazed. He had never thought that he would meet the Heavenly Thunder Master of the Immortal Realm. Although this was only a remnant of consciousness, he was still a Master.

At this moment, Gu Jiuchen wanted to ascend even more.

Only by going to the Immortal Realm could he live forever, and isn't cultivation for immortality?

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sun fell again on this land that had experienced vicissitudes, as if even nature was cheering for the transformation of Gu Jiuchen and others.

Gu Jiuchen stood in front of the ruins, looking at the disciples around him who were also full of excitement, and an unprecedented sense of mission surged in his heart.

"We not only gained power, but more importantly, we understood the true meaning of cultivation." Gu Jiuchen's voice was steady and powerful, and every word seemed to contain a thousand pounds of power, hitting people's hearts directly, "From now on, we will use this power to protect the peace and tranquility of this continent."

Yun Che and others nodded after hearing this, with a firm light in their eyes.

They knew that from now on, they would no longer fight alone, but would work hand in hand to face the future storms together.

At this moment, a strange wind blew, bringing with it a breath of air from the fairyland, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Gu Jiuchen's heart moved, and he looked up at the unreachable clouds, and a strong desire surged in his heart - to ascend to the fairyland and explore the higher level of the realm.

"Master, what should we do next?" Yun Che saw Gu Jiuchen in a trance and asked softly.

Gu Jiuchen retracted his thoughts, smiled slightly, and swept his eyes over everyone, and slowly said: "Let's go back to the sect first, sort out what we have gained this time, and then prepare for greater challenges. Remember, the path of a true strong man is to practice and explore without stopping."

Everyone was refreshed when they heard this, and they all expressed their agreement.

So, the group set off on their way home, full of longing and expectation for the future.

Back to the sect, Gu Jiuchen immediately summoned all the core disciples and told them in detail about their experiences in the ruins and the inheritance of Tianlei Zhenjun.

After listening, everyone was amazed at the power and compassion of Tianlei Zhenjun, and at the same time they also felt sincere admiration for Gu Jiuchen's achievements.

In the following days, Gu Jiuchen and his disciples practiced in seclusion, integrating the inheritance of Tianlei Zhenjun with their own cultivation, and their strength made a qualitative leap.

The sect also became more united and powerful because of this incident, attracting countless cultivators to come and join.

However, the peaceful days did not last too long. As the strength of Gu Jiuchen and others increased, a force hidden in the dark began to stir.

This force came from an ancient evil sect. They had coveted the inheritance of Tianlei Zhenjun for a long time. Now that they saw the rise of Gu Jiuchen and others, they wanted to take it for themselves.

One night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. The evil forces suddenly attacked, and the sect was immediately in chaos.

Although Gu Jiuchen and others were prepared, they were also under great pressure in the face of such a huge enemy.

"Master, there are so many of them. What should we do?" Yun Che asked anxiously while fighting with the enemy.

Gu Jiuchen narrowed his eyes, lightning flashed on his body, and said in a cold voice: "When the enemy comes, we will fight him. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. Today, let them see the strength of our sect!"

After speaking, Gu Jiuchen suddenly rose up and rushed into the enemy group like a flash of lightning. His hands flew, and the power of lightning surrounded him. Wherever he passed, the enemies fell one after another.

When Yun Che and others saw this, their morale was also greatly boosted. They followed Gu Jiuchen's example and fought a desperate battle with the enemy.

The battle lasted all night until the sky turned pale, and the evil forces were finally repelled.

Although the sect was severely damaged, fortunately, the casualties of the disciples were not large. Gu Jiuchen stood on the ruins, looking at the enemies gradually dispersing in the distance, but he did not feel relieved at all.

"This is just the beginning." He said in his heart, "The real test is still behind."

In the following days, Gu Jiuchen strengthened the defense of the sect and began to prepare for the ascension to the fairyland.

He knew that only by going to the fairyland could he truly get rid of the troubles of the mortal world and pursue the eternal way of longevity.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several years have passed. During these years, Gu Jiuchen not only managed the sect in an orderly manner, but also cultivated a batch of excellent disciples.

Although their strength is far inferior to Gu Jiuchen, they are more than enough to protect themselves in the human world.

Finally one day, Gu Jiuchen felt that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and it was time to find the legendary way to ascension.

He summoned the core disciples in the sect and told them his decision.

"I am going to find an opportunity to ascend to the fairyland." Gu Jiuchen's voice was calm and firm, "I hope you can continue to protect this continent and wait for my return."

The disciples were all in tears when they heard this. They knew that this farewell might be a farewell forever.

But they also knew that Gu Jiuchen's pursuit was beyond their reach.

"Master, rest assured, we will definitely protect the sect and wait for your return." Yun Che spoke on behalf of everyone, his voice choking with sobs.

Gu Jiuchen smiled slightly, turned around and looked at the distant sky, his heart full of expectations and longings for the future.

He took a deep breath, and his figure gradually became illusory, and finally turned into a ray of lightning, soaring into the sky and disappearing in the clouds.

"Master!" The disciples knelt on the ground one after another and bowed deeply in the direction where Gu Jiuchen left.

They knew that Gu Jiuchen had already embarked on his own immortal journey, and they would continue to move forward on this continent.

The moment Gu Jiuchen turned into lightning and soared into the sky, time seemed to freeze.

The disciples looked up at the sky, and the lightning gradually went farther and farther, and finally merged into the depths of the clouds and disappeared without a trace.

After Yun Che and others knelt down, they slowly stood up, with both reluctance and determination in their eyes.

They knew that the sect master Gu Jiuchen had embarked on the immortal journey of pursuing immortality and the highest realm, and they had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the sect and the continent.

A few days later, the sect gradually returned to peace inside and outside, but the news that Gu Jiuchen had found a way to ascend quickly spread throughout the human world like a spring breeze.

Countless cultivators were shocked, and they talked about the feat of this legendary sect master, and they were also full of curiosity and yearning for the immortal world.

In the depths of the sect, the inheritance of Tianlei Zhenjun left by Gu Jiuchen was regarded as a treasure by the disciples. They practiced day and night, striving to exert this power to the extreme.

As the chief disciple, Yun Che led by example. Not only did he improve his cultivation rapidly, but he also led his disciples to strengthen the sect's defenses in addition to practicing to prevent the evil sect from attacking again.

However, is the immortal road a smooth one? Gu Jiuchen encountered unprecedented challenges in the process of finding the way to ascend.

This way of ascending is not so easy.

Because it is an unstable passage, and the strength needs to reach the Mahayana realm.

Because only the Mahayana realm can withstand the power of the immortal force and the divine punishment.

Gu Jiuchen's cultivation at this time is only at the peak of the Refining Void Realm, and he has not even reached the Fusion Realm, but he does not look for it. The road he found can be regarded as leaving a hope for the disciples of the Tianxian Sect.

This passage to ascend to the upper realm has been closed for a long time. It is already difficult to ascend by breaking through the cultivation. Only this method can be relied on.
