Chapter 701: Chapter 699: Little Sister, Don’t Panic!

"Stay here, seniors."

Shen Luoyan smiled and said, "Please leave behind the mantra to activate the Ascension Platform, otherwise we will surely be at a loss."

"Very well."

An elderly cultivator turned back and threw out a Jade Talisman.

Shen Luoyan caught it, confirmed its validity, and smiled as she allowed the pair to leave.

"Done."

She immediately duplicated the Jade Talisman and tossed one to Ning Daoran, saying, "When you ascend in the future, this might come in handy. Keep it for now."

Shen Luoyan was truly a meticulous person.

Ning Daoran was slightly moved, "Alright, thank you!"

"Who goes first?"

Shen Luoyan swiftly performed the spell according to the Jade Scroll, and the Ascension Platform rang with a deep hum, as if an ancient machine had been awakened. A beam of pure white light shot skyward from the platform.

"I shall go first..."

Shen Haoran stepped forward. Having waited for years in the Mortal World, knowing that if this chance did not come, he would grow old and die here, his heart was filled with exhilaration.

"Very well, we will protect Senior Shen!"

Shen Luoyan addressed him as "Senior Shen," hinting that when Shen Haoran achieved Divinity Transformation, she had not yet done so, allowing him seniority in her presence.

...

"This is it—success or failure hinges on this moment!"

Shen Haoran rushed onto the Ascension Platform!

"Boom~~~"

A powerful gust wrapped around him, and in the next instant, a cascade of thunderous lightning fell from the skies. Shen Haoran unleashed his Divinity Transformation Power to shield himself, but his body seemed to endure extreme pressure, causing his expression to grow grim.

"Swish!"

The power of the Heavenly Dao enveloped Shen Haoran, and in a blink, his figure vanished.

"Something’s wrong..."

Ning Daoran furrowed his brows, detecting a vortex forming in the void, and immediately, Shen Haoran’s aura dissipated completely.

"So..."

True Monarch Du’e exclaimed, "Did Senior Shen Haoran succeed in ascending?"

Shen Luoyan lowered her gaze, her expression heavy with sorrow.

"Fellow Taoist Shen..." Correct content is on NovelFire

The Old Dragon Head frowned and said, "His Daoist Heart wasn’t firm, and his ascension failed. He’s already been swept into the void vortex and reduced to nothingness."

"..."

The crowd was shocked.

At that moment, a sudden fluctuation of spatial laws appeared, followed by a loud "bang!" A figure surged onto the Ascension Platform with inconceivable speed!

It was none other than the North Sea Divinity Transformation cultivator, Qingtian Star Monarch!

Strands of Heavenly Dao rules descended from above, enveloping Qingtian Star Monarch’s form.

"Despicable scoundrel!"

The Old Dragon Head cursed angrily.

"You jest,"

Qingtian Star Monarch stood on the Ascension Platform and said indifferently, "You all brazenly stole the opportunity rightfully belonging to the North Sea Divinity Transformation cultivator. It’s only fair that Shen Haoran failed in his ascension!"

"Knock him down!"

True Monarch Du’e, being impulsive by nature, immediately unleashed more than ten Spiritual Treasures!

Since advancing to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, True Monarch Du’e had acquired considerable wealth.

"Stop."

Shen Luoyan shook her head. "Attacking Qingtian Star Monarch risks damaging the Ascension Platform, and then we’d only lose even more. I can still wait for a few centuries, but Fellow Daoist Long cannot afford to."

"Indeed, indeed..."

The others nodded in agreement.

In the next instant, Qingtian Star Monarch transformed into a streak of light and soared into the heavens, disappearing from this realm.

The ascension was successful.

"This Ascension Platform only has one chance left."

Shen Luoyan said, "Fellow Daoist Long, it’s your turn."

"No need to be so modest, Shen Tower Master."

The Old Dragon Head shook his head. "In the battle of descent, everyone knows your contributions were the greatest. I’ll head to the Ascension Platform in Cangnan Province; perhaps I’ll have another chance there. No need to say more—I’ll make my way now."

With that, the Old Dragon Head transformed into fiery tunneling light and sped toward the south.

"Sigh..."

Shen Luoyan seemed at a loss.

She gracefully rose into the air, standing at the edge of the Ascension Platform, turned back to the crowd, and said, "If I ascend, the Slaying Immortal Tower will inevitably lose its head. Without a Divinity Transformation cultivator to preside, the remaining members will surely vie for dominance. Therefore, I’ve decided to pass the Tower Master position to Fellow Daoist Ning. Do any of you have objections?"

This surprised True Monarch Du’e and the others.

"That’s not acceptable."

Ning Daoran objected, "I refuse to become the Tower Master. Too much responsibility. Shen Tower Master, if you truly care about me, please don’t assign this position to me."

"But..."

Shen Luoyan knitted her brows. "Other than you, Ning Daoran, who among us can command respect from all?"

"Indeed."

Fellow Daoist Fu Hai added, "Fellow Daoist Ning, we’ve all witnessed your strength and character. If you became Tower Master, none of us would object!"

"No, no."

Ning Daoran said, "It’s not that I doubt my own qualifications, but rather my carefree nature isn’t suited for managing such a large organization. However..."

He cupped his hands in salute to Shen Luoyan. "Tower Master Shen, I can recommend someone who’s more suitable than me to lead the Slaying Immortal Tower."

"Who?"

"None other than Fellow Daoist Fu Hai."

Ning Daoran explained, "During the bloody battle against Eight Desolates Star Monarch, Fellow Daoist Fu Hai sacrificed the Treasure Essence Qi of his Sea Covering Immortal Furnace, making him the MVP in slaying the Eight Desolates Star Monarch. With such achievements, if he took over as Tower Master, who could object? Moreover, if Fellow Daoist Fu Hai is willing to take the reins, I’m happy to serve as Vice Tower Master and assist him."

"Agreed."

Shen Luoyan retrieved a Token from her waist and tossed it over. "Here’s the Slaying Immortal Tower Master Token. From now on, True Monarch Fu Hai, you are the Tower Master of the Slaying Immortal Tower. I will depart shortly; if I have the chance, I will send down decrees from the Upper Realm to maintain contact."

Without further ado, she withdrew and entered the ascension process!

"Huh?"

True Monarch Fu Hai stared at the Master Token in his hands, utterly dumbfounded. "Tower Master, say a few more words! I’m not even sure I’m the most suitable choice. How can such a crucial decision be made so casually? Are we running a two-bit operation here?"

Before his pleas could continue, Shen Luoyan transformed into a streak of light and ascended, vanishing from sight.

The ascension was successful!

"That’s that... now don’t be overly modest."

Ning Daoran patted True Monarch Fu Hai’s shoulder. "With myself and Brother Du’e backing you, this position as Tower Master is yours, no arguments allowed. If anyone dares protest, let them challenge me and Brother Du’e!"

"Heh heh, precisely, precisely!"

True Monarch Du’e said with a chuckle, "Fellow Daoist Fu Hai, you must take the mantle of Tower Master."

"Let’s cut to the chase."

Ning Daoran turned his gaze southward and said, "The Old Dragon Head has gone to the Cangnan Province Slaying Immortal Tower. Let’s head over immediately to support him. Fellow Daoist Fu Hai, bring out your Sea Covering Immortal Furnace to transport everyone, faster is better. Protecting Divine Fire Star Lord’s successful ascension is our duty as Eastern Wilderness Cultivators."

"Very well!"

True Monarch Fu Hai immediately summoned the Sea Covering Immortal Furnace and sped southward with the group.

...

Half a day later.

The Sea Covering Immortal Furnace reached the southern Fertile Wild Jungle terrain. The earth below was lush green and brimming with vitality.

"Boom~~~"

A thunderous roar erupted in the distance, followed by chaotic and turbulent qi flows. NovelFire

Several Divinity Transformation cultivators were engaged in fierce combat!

"Quick, go see!"

Ning Daoran rose to the sky, wielding the Big Green Dragon, and flew out of the Sea Covering Immortal Furnace.

The rest followed suit, heading straight for the Ascension Platform!

In a clearing amidst the jungle, the ancient Ascension Platform remained inactive, while four cultivators at Divinity Transformation Stage were locked in battle. Strictly speaking, there were five, as one Divinity Transformation aura resided within a pale Spirit Wood.

Ning Daoran froze in shock as he observed the fighting figures in the air.

"Lin Man!"

In the sky, a short-haired figure clothed in a pale blue Immortal Dress—it was none other than Lin Man.

She wielded a Sword Array, her Divinity Transformation aura rippling as she fought fiercely against Liu Zhu Star Monarch.

At Lin Man’s waist hung a piece of pale Spirit Wood, within which dwelled the spirit of a Divinity Transformation cultivator—a ghost, surely none other than her senior disciple Pool Shan!

Lin Man intended to smuggle both herself and Pool Shan to the Earth Immortal Realm through the Ascension Platform!

Meanwhile, the Old Dragon Head, panting heavily, was engaged with Snake Spirit Star Monarch but had begun to lose ground.

"Husband..."

Lin Man’s gaze flickered upon seeing Ning Daoran, momentarily distracted. She was quickly suppressed by Liu Zhu Star Monarch.

"Ning! Why are you only arriving now?!"

The Old Dragon Head roared, "Quickly help me seize the ascension opportunity from these two North Sea Divinity Transformation cultivators!"

"Do it!"

Ning Daoran swung the Big Green Dragon and addressed the group of Nascent Soul Great Cultivators behind him, "My senior is the Old Dragon Head, and Lin Man is my wife. Please, everyone, lend a hand!"

"What are we waiting for? Fight!"

True Monarch Du’e immediately unleashed the Seven Treasures Heavenly Umbrella, charging forward. The umbrella’s branches transformed into flying swords aimed directly at Liu Zhu Star Monarch!

"Charge!"

True Monarch Fu Hai and Lin Tiannan also deployed their treasures against Liu Zhu Star Monarch!

Lianyi True Monarch, True Monarch Qi Xing, Lin Xuyan, Liu Wushuang, and others all activated their treasures, attacking Liu Zhu Star Monarch indiscriminately.

"What?!"

The Old Dragon Head fought bitterly, only to see everyone targeting Liu Zhu Star Monarch while no one assisted him. Was this fair? Was this proper?!

...

"Bang!"

A surge of void turbulence shook as Ning Daoran delivered a powerful strike, aiming for Liu Zhu Star Monarch’s head. Although blocked by a Spirit Treasure Shield, the attack still drained a significant amount of the Star Monarch’s mana.

"I am True Monarch Du’e; sister, don’t worry!"

True Monarch Du’e fought relentlessly like a madman.

"I am Lin Xuyan of Liangyi Sect, coming to aid my sister-in-law in ascension!"

Lin Xuyan’s sword light was as sharp as ever, fiercely striking.

True Monarch Fu Hai, Lin Tiannan, and others remained silent, unleashing every trick and sinister technique at Liu Zhu Star Monarch!

With only four slots available for ascension, killing Liu Zhu Star Monarch would ensure Lin Man and the Old Dragon Head’s chances, leaving Snake Spirit Star Monarch an uncontested ascension.

...

"Swish, swish, swish~~~"

Ning Daoran tapped his Storage Bag and set up the Ten Directions Forbidden Array.

This move clearly aimed to end Liu Zhu Star Monarch!

Under relentless attacks—and Lin Man’s wielding of her mysterious and powerful Sword Array—Liu Zhu Star Monarch accumulated grave injuries. Even her Sea Listening Jade Flute was shattered, and another strike from Ning Daoran weakened her further, leaving her close to death.

"Enough."

She chuckled bitterly, "If I fail to ascend, Lin Man, neither will you!"

Then, Liu Zhu Star Monarch pointed a finger and infused her Essence Blood into a Treasure Shuttle. The shuttle flashed and obliterated the Spirit Wood at Lin Man’s waist, scattering the spirit dwelling within it with a heartrending scream!
