Chapter 856: Chapter 713 Sudden Becoming Immortal!

In an instant, the flesh and blood on the blood-flesh tree began to wriggle, and power started to converge.

"Thump... thump... thump... thump!"

At the same time, a strange heartbeat suddenly emanated from within the tree trunk, and the sealed body of Ding Haiping began to mutate uncontrollably once again. It was clear that the seal wouldn’t hold much longer, and Ding Haiping was about to irreversibly transform into a Demonic Being.

Outside, Li Zhengfang, who had been watching all along, instinctively wanted to intervene to stop the process but was held back by both Zhang Decheng and Zheng Zhuo.

Before they could say anything, everyone’s pupils contracted in unison.

They saw Wang Zijia suddenly strike like lightning, plunging his hand into the chest of the humanoid form, which was in the midst of mutating.

"Puff!"

A soft sound was heard as Wang Zijia’s entire arm was thrust into the chest of the humanoid outline and into the tree trunk.

"Crack!"

The next moment, Wang Zijia pulled out a heart that had turned wooden and white.

As the heart was extracted, countless white liquids flowed from Ding Haiping’s wound. Strands of wooden fiber threads rapidly extended from the wound, seemingly trying to snatch the heart back from Wang Zijia’s hand.

The heart also trembled slightly as if trying to return to where it came from.

Wang Zijia, sensing the strange pollution within the heart, had a hint of joy in his eyes; although it wasn’t much, it definitely contained the most fundamental force of Pollution.

Available value: 115 billion.

Looking at Ding Haiping’s available value, which had dropped by three billion, it was clear that he indeed found another way to extract some of the fundamental force of Pollution from the still-living Ding Haiping.

Meanwhile, Ding Haiping’s body began to tremble violently and swell as if, in the next moment, it was going to completely mutate from a tree of about ten meters in height to a grotesque flesh tree hundreds of feet tall.

However, at this time, Wang Zijia had already started a frenzied exchange.

During this exchange, Wang Zijia discovered a problem.

Ding Haiping’s body had already achieved an Immortal Body!

Not quite, rather, it had been polluted by the force of the heavenly and earthly spiritual roots so much that its Dao Body had twisted into a polluted body comparable to an Immortal Body.

Once Wang Zijia exchanged all the pollution away, what would be left was an Immortal Body!

The three hardest steps before Becoming Immortal, he had already taken one and a half. And once Wang Zijia exchanged all the pollution, this one and a half steps taken would naturally pull along with the ready half step, crossing over together.

In other words, although it was rushed, this was indeed the best opportunity for Ding Haiping to ascend to immortality!!!

With a mind as swift as lightning, Wang Zijia decisively continued the exchange while also splitting his Mind and said to Li Zhengfang, Zhang Decheng, and the others beside him, "Immediately evacuate all disciples from the Main Peak and shut down the Protecting Sect Array."

As Wang Zijia spoke, Ding Haiping, who was still swelling, suddenly shrank and collapsed, transforming quickly back into a naked human form. But the mutation did not stop there, as a terrifying Momentum began to rise and brew within Ding Haiping.

"What is this...?" the three said in bewilderment.

"Quickly take action, evacuate the people, withdraw the defensive forces. The Head Teacher is about to cross the tribulation and ascend to immortality. Don’t let mixed forces induce a mutation in the Thunder Tribulation," Wang Zijia said and then continued no longer bothered with them, constantly adjusting the stakes for Ding Haiping.

The three were alarmed.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, thunder roared, and each of them instantly felt the Magnificent Heavenly Might pressing on their hearts, bringing a sense of panic, chest tightness, and fear.

The three exchanged glances and dashed out of the room.

...

Outside, the sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, was now covered with dark clouds, and thunderclouds rapidly shrouded Wanyu, moving swiftly towards Qifeng.

Following that, all the monks felt an inexplicable panic, as if something was pressing on their hearts, fearing that something terrible was about to happen.

The Tribulation Crossing Cultivators arranged at the Etiquette Institute from other sects were all startled and flew up into the sky. After scanning the surroundings, they turned their gaze toward the Main Peak.

"What’s happening?"

"This feeling... it’s like a Catastrophe, right?!"

"Is someone breaking through to Infant God status?"

"Infant God? Are these the signs of an Infant God? It’s definitely somebody undergoing tribulation to become an Immortal!"

"What!"

"Someone in Wanyu Sect is crossing tribulation to become an Immortal? How come we didn’t hear about it?"

"Wanyu Sect wasn’t prepared at all; it feels so sudden."

As they communicated through divine thought, they saw Zhang Decheng and the others suddenly rushing out of the Main Peak.

The few of them instinctively approached them, but before they could ask anything, they saw two of the three from Zhang Decheng’s group rapidly operating light screens, dispatching personnel, issuing notifications, closing the Great Array that enveloped Qifeng; the other channeled mana and shouted out loud.

"All disciples of Qifeng, evacuate the Qifeng area immediately, do not linger."

All the already startled disciples, upon hearing this, transformed into Escape Light and rapidly moved away.

...

Wang Zijia paid no attention to the chaos outside.

At this moment, he had no time to deal with these matters, and rapidly said to Ding Haiping, who had returned to human form and was floating with his eyes closed in front of him:

"Head Teacher Senior Brother, time is pressing, so I’ll skip the niceties."

"You have been polluted by the mutated heavenly and earthly spiritual roots, and your body has undergone a fundamental change. The Dao of Wood has deeply infiltrated your Dao Body, and in essence, it is already equivalent to an Immortal Body. Once I completely cleanse you of all pollution, your Immortal Body will naturally pull you into forced ascension and tribulation."

"Although I have the means to reverse your Immortal Body, now that the Immortal Body is formed, even if we reverse it many times, you are bound to the same path and cannot change."

"Moreover, the chance to become an Immortal is rare, and missing this opportunity, we don’t know if there will ever be another."

"So don’t think too much about it, regardless of whatever Dao Consistency issue arises from the blend of the Space Path and Wood Dao, first become an Immortal and then we’ll talk."

"The issues with the Immortal Dao Fruit Position and Divine Powers can be slowly studied after reaching the status of Earth Immortal."

As Wang Zijia spoke, he also took out several strands of Universal Spiritual Objects necessary for Becoming Immortal, injecting them into the naked body of Ding Haiping, and exchanged value to inflate it into sufficient Extraordinary Characteristics.

With the Immortal Body already formed and the legacy of the heavenly and earthly spiritual roots pulling Ding Haiping towards ascension, the foundation for immortality was more than sufficient.

Now, with the addition of several universal spiritual objects created by Wang Zijia, it could be said that Ding Haiping’s foundation at this moment was extremely exaggerated.

As Wang Zijia acted, Ding Haiping had already awakened from his confusion; he did not open his eyes, nor did he communicate with Wang Zijia.

Yet, his hands began to change rapidly—clearly, he was beginning his breakthrough.

"Boom!"

The constant thunderclouds in the sky not only gave Wang Zijia a sense of the aura of destruction but also a vague locking-on that was about to include him as well.

Wang Zijia dared not delay, knowing that once he was involved in the other’s Immortal Ascension catastrophe, triggering a deviation in the thunder tribulation, that would truly be trouble.

After tossing down some more medicine, he grabbed his wooden heart and left amidst the flashes of lei ting.

Upon bursting out of the Main Peak, everything around was pitch black, the boundless thunderclouds shrouding Qifeng like a curtain.

The aura of destruction and the magnificent heavenly might weighed on people’s hearts, inducing fear.

However, once he left the area of the Main Peak, this feeling greatly diminished.

The Immortal Ascension catastrophe was intense, but it was also quite concentrated, firmly locking onto the individual facing the tribulation. As long as one did not actively seek death, it was not easy to get involved.

······

As Wang Zijia left the area of Qifeng, he saw densely packed figures floating in the sky, looking towards the Main Peak.

Looking down, he saw similarly packed crowds on the building complexes near Qifeng, all of them gazing towards the Main Peak where the clouds and thunder were stirring.

Some were excited, others agitated, but even more were bewildered.

"What’s going on, which Senior Brother is undergoing tribulation to become a God Monarch?"

"Are you an idiot? Would a God Monarch’s thunder tribulation be that exaggerated?"

"Could it be the Immortal Ascension catastrophe?"

"What do you think?"

"How could that be, our region hasn’t had anyone become an immortal in thousands of years!"

"Right, there haven’t been any rumours about the Head Teacher or Tower Master Li preparing to become immortal either!"

"Normally it would be impossible, but the Red Sun Immortal Venerable isn’t back, did you forget what path he follows?"

"Are you talking about... direct transformation into an immortal?"

"What a joke, that’s just too crazy!"

"I think it’s possible, after all, the Immortal Venerable already has two Immortals as followers now. What ordinary immortal would be willing to be someone’s follower?"

"Someone’s coming out, why are they only coming out now?"

"It’s the Red Sun Immortal Venerable, this...could it truly be a direct transformation?"

"······"

The entire Sect was fiercely speculating.

Just as Wang Zijia left the area of Qifeng, a group of Tribulation Crossing Cultivators surrounded him.

"Junior Brother, what’s the situation?"

"Junior Brother, is the Head Teacher really becoming immortal?"

"Patriarch, did you directly transform Elder Ding?"

"······"

Wang Zijia looked at the surrounding Tribulation Crossing Cultivators, each of them with a frighteningly brilliant gaze. Their expressions of surprise were mixed with excitement and frenzy.

They seemed to be asking about Ding Haiping, but their eyes were fixed on him, as if they had seen some priceless treasure or a great opportunity.

"Boom!"

Without waiting for Wang Zijia to reply, at that moment thunder exploded, and a column of lightning fell—the destructive catastrophe had fully descended.

Only then did everyone shift their focus back to the Main Peak.

With the arrival of the thunder, the Main Peak underwent a heaven-shaking, massive transformation.

A towering, snow-white divine tree suddenly swayed and grew, expanding rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it reached thousands of feet high, connecting heaven and earth, like a pillar supporting the sky.

The tree was silver throughout, its massive body swollen and bloated, making the trunk seem hollow.

From the branches, numerous white tendrils like silk threads from heaven and earth dangled, swaying gently.

It looked like an immense, pot-bellied white willow.

The myriad tendrils danced like tentacles, and amidst their whipping at the thunder in the sky, they were actually absorbing the thunder, drawing it into the body of the tree!

"Is this...the Innate Dharma Idol: the Void Willow?"

"He really is undergoing Immortal Ascension!"

"But that’s not right, how come the immortal body is almost fully formed before the tribulation?"

"Is this truly Immortal Ascension?"

"Elder Ding follows the Space Path, doesn’t he? How did he become a Great Cultivator of the Dao of Wood?"

"Someone in our region can actually become immortal, and to think they could even conjure up an ancient Innate Dharma Idol?"

"I must be dreaming!"

"With such a sudden immortal transformation, and just when the Patriarch came back, could it really be the Patriarch’s doing?"

"If it is indeed his doing, and he could conjure such a spectacle...that..."

"······"

As everyone conversed, they subconsciously turned their gaze towards Wang Zijia.
