Chapter 868: Chapter 722 Another Immortal Venerate

Even after the recent conversation had led many to speculate, the confirmation of such words now made them gaze at Li Shenghui with envy.

However, everyone knew they couldn’t compare, after all, they were his own brothers.

"Then I’ll go back once, the Eighth Rank inheritance, let the junior disciples take it out, I’m not quite at ease." Li Jianye thus spoke.

Li Shenghui nodded.

"..."

After discussing the important matters, everyone chatted idly for a while before leaving one after another.

However, this brief encounter between the two Sects had nearly driven the Big Shots of Flying Immortal and Wentian Pavilion to desperation.

The Immortal Alliance was imminent, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would be announced at the celebration.

At this time, the collective meeting of the two families crossing Tribulation, Flying Immortal and Wentian both thought that they were agreeing on the charter, but they were not invited.

Could it be that Flying Immortal and Wentian would be marginalized by the two families?

This was urgent indeed, yet there was nothing they could do. Given the current situation, there were probably no other options than to join or to be destroyed.

Because of the issue with Wang Zijia, these past few days, the Big Shots of Wentian Pavilion and Flying Immortal were almost driven mad with worry.

It wasn’t until the people from Daqian returned to Welcoming Peak that each of them immediately inquired for information.

Upon learning that it wasn’t about the Immortal Alliance, their hearts had yet to settle down when they heard that Li Shenghui would become an Immortal the next day.

It was like a bolt from the blue.

Especially for Flying Immortal, as far as Wentian Pavilion was concerned, they had always been on the periphery, never very close to the Three Sects.

Now, as Daqian and Wanyu were both about to produce Immortals, they at Flying Immortal were increasingly declining. How could they not be anxious!

...

Unlike Ding Haiping’s abrupt ascension, the news of Li Shenghui’s breakthrough to Immortality had only been spread one day ahead, but it had still spread throughout Wanyu.

Therefore, early the next morning, at the foot of Qifeng Mountain, the building complex of the many lineages became heavily crowded, far more extravagant than Ding Haiping’s ascension.

And in the sky above, it was densely packed with people.

The disciples of Wanyu, as well as those from other Sects who came for the meeting, all with glittering Spirit Eyes, looked toward Wanyu Peak from afar.

On the peak of Wanyu Peak, on the largest Immortal Ascension Tribulation Crossing Platform, two people were present.

One was seated in the air, while the other stood in front, lightly touching the forehead of the former, as if they were conducting a final check.

Everyone stared intently, afraid to miss any detail.

Ding Haiping’s ascension was one thing, but this time, it was a proper Immortal Ascension ceremony, and there were no obstructions in place.

...

"Are you ready?" Inside the Array, Wang Zijia checked Li Shenghui’s status once again before asking.

Li Shenghui nodded gravely.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia took out a dazzling Golden Elixir, which shone with a seven-colored Divine Light, looking exceptionally brilliant. In terms of appearance, it looked just like the legendary Peerless Immortal Pill!

"Swallow it and begin your breakthrough!" said Wang Zijia.

Li Shenghui did not hesitate; he opened his mouth and sucked in the Golden Elixir.

The pill ’melted upon entry’—this was a descriptor, not a metaphor.

The Elixir had melted away the moment it entered his mouth, leaving Li Shenghui briefly at a loss.

Did I just take an Immortal Pill?

I must have taken it, right?

"Tsk tsk!"

Unconsciously smacking his lips twice, other than the taste of Cultivating Yuan Pill residue, there was no other feeling at all?

Wait, why is it the taste of Cultivating Yuan Pill again...

"Focus!"

As Li Shenghui’s thoughts flashed by in an instant, Wang Zijia’s voice rang in his ears.

The next moment, he was startled.

Spiritual essences within his body appeared out of nowhere, expanding rapidly while surging into his Dantian, seemingly originating from the pill just now!

At the same time, various insights began to emerge in his mind.

Li Shenghui immediately composed his Mind and began to breakthrough swiftly.

After completing his task, Wang Zijia disappeared from the Universe Peak Tribulation Crossing Platform in a flash.

"Boom!"

No sooner had Wang Zijia left than the dark clouds above seemed to have accumulated to their limit, finishing their final brewing, as lightning began to strike.

"Has it reached the Thunder Tribulation stage already?"

"Wasn’t it said that every step of becoming an Immortal was difficult?"

"I feel like the previous steps were too easy, how did the previous Tribulation Crossing monks manage to fail without even encountering Thunder Tribulation?"

"Yeah, I feel like I could succeed too!"

"Indeed, it has been said that this great Prefect of Daqian had suffered heavy injuries for several years, just barely recovering. Can it really be this easy?"

"It’s said that our Head Teacher also suffered heavy injuries, no?"

"Easy my ass, haven’t you seen how much paler Red Sun Immortal Venerable looks?"

"I think it’s exactly because it’s easy that you can see how terrifying Red Sun Immortal Venerable is!"

"The Earth Immortal Path, indeed, it’s a Dao that people fancy!"

"..."

The sky and ground were abuzz with discussions among the observing monks.

Under everyone’s gaze, Wang Zijia emerged looking pale and worn out.

"Junior Brother Wang, are you alright?" Ding Haiping looked at the weary-faced Wang Zijia with concern and stepped forward to ask.

Wang Zijia gave a reassuring smile and gestured to calm him, "It’s fine, it was just a bit draining. After all, Fifth Brother didn’t prepare by condensing his immortal body in advance like you, the Head Teacher, so it was a bit tough to initiate the transformation!"

"Boom!"

Just as they were speaking, the Thunder Tribulation started to surge violently.

"Imperial Command: Mountain True Spirit Protection!"

With a thunderous roar, countless rocks converged, and a massive golem of rock and earth appeared atop Wanyu Peak, towering into the sky and clashing its fist against the thunder.

For a moment, Li Shenghui, with the heavenly constitution in his mouth and following the incantation as if he was enacting laws, turned rocks into spirits, altering heaven and earth under the guise of his authoritative words.

In the end, there were even meteorites hanging in the Nine Heavens, constantly combating the thunder.

Compared to the uneventful Thunder Tribulation of Ding Haiping, Li Shenghui’s was earth-shaking and created a great commotion.

This exaggerated phenomenon had the disciples watching from the architectural group at the foot of the mountain agape, as they began to comprehend what a monk Becoming Immortal was and what a Catastrophe entailed.

"I take back what I said before; becoming immortal is not simple at all. I could probably never achieve it!"

"Probably? If someone breathes too hard, they might blow you to dust."

"Is this what the Immortal Tribulation is? It’s too exaggerated."

"Yeah, compared to this, the Minor Sky Tribulation of the Infant God is just child’s play!"

"If every step is this difficult, I reckon I’d end up in Yama Hall before even seeing the Thunder Tribulation."

"..."

The exaggerated scene of Crossing Tribulation left the disciples filled with longing and awe.

Meanwhile, the Tribulation Crossing Cultivators in the sky, after only momentarily focusing on the Thunder Tribulation, turned their attention to the indifferent figure in front of the crowd, who was watching Li Shenghui’s tribulation with his back turned to them.

Without any surprise, Li Shenghui’s success in Becoming Immortal was almost a certainty!

Thus, their gazes were filled with burning desire.

It seemed to them that at this moment, the composed Wang Zijia, standing with hands behind his back and a serene expression, was not a person but a peerless treasure medicine, an elixir that could bestow immortality.

The longing in their eyes was as if they wanted to swallow Wang Zijia whole.

Li Shenghui’s Tribulation revealed to the old cultivators the terrifying prowess of Wang Zijia.

Rather than saying Li Shenghui was Crossing Tribulation to Become Immortal, it was more like he was waiting to fight the Catastrophe!

Throughout the entire breakthrough process, the difficult parts were all resolved by Wang Zijia, leaving Li Shenghui to brave the Thunder Tribulation on his own, focusing on the final step of condensing the Immortal Dao Fruit Position!

Although the process still couldn’t be described as easy, with all that had been done, the likelihood of success in Becoming Immortal should be at least sixty to seventy percent—if not, it would be considered rather pitiful!

And a sixty to seventy percent chance of Becoming Immortal was something the others present dared not even dream of!

"Boom!"

The thunder roared in the distance, but the people’s gazes were still fervently fixed on Wang Zijia.

They kept thinking about how they might receive Wang Zijia’s transformation.

Yet Wang Zijia, as if unaware, quietly watched the Thunder Tribulation.

Less than half an hour later, Li Shenghui used a variety of means, got seriously injured, but ultimately withstood the Thunder Tribulation.

With a meteor-like star appearing, compressing, and finally transforming into Li Shenghui, all activity in the sky began to subside.

"Congratulations to the Patriarch!"

"Congratulations to Li, the Celestial Immortal, on ascending!"

"..."

As the commotion settled, this also marked Li Shenghui’s successful tribulation, truly becoming an Immortal.

Li Shenghui saluted the crowd and then came over to Wang Zijia, and with a serious bow, said, "Thank you, Ninth Younger Brother, for your immense help. Words cannot express my gratitude; should you need anything in the future, I will not hesitate to assist!"

Wang Zijia calmly regarded Li Shenghui for a moment before saying, "The Celestial Immortal Realm, huh? It seems that ultimately, there was still a deficit in opportunity!"

He had spared no effort in cleansing Li Shenghui’s foundation and assisting in his transformation, achieving what could be considered the ultimate result.

This just showed that every rank within the Immortal Dao was as difficult as ascending to heaven!

However, Li Shenghui revealed a brilliant smile and said, "This is already an enormous surprise. Without your Immortal Pills aiding me, bolstering my foundation tremendously..."

"Just with my own foundation and the items I prepared, even with your transformation, I would likely find it difficult to reach even the Earth Immortal standard!"

Wang Zijia indifferently responded, "As it should be. I couldn’t just take the clan’s inheritance for nothing!"

An Eighth Rank Celestial Immortal inheritance was not something trivial. If it were meticulously deconstructed and dispersed, it would be more than enough to establish a Sect like Wanyu with its profound Array Dao.

Hearing this, Li Shenghui immediately said, "How can it be for nothing? You too are a member of the Li Family, one of Daqian’s founders..."

"Alright, you’ve just broken through, so you’d better stabilize your cultivation quickly and strive to leave seclusion early. In about twenty days, the Head Teacher is planning to hold the Immortal Ascension Celebration, and there are some matters we need to handle together then," Wang Zijia interrupted Li Shenghui.

Li Shenghui paused, then said, "In that case, let’s hold my celebration together with it, to also commemorate the establishment of the Immortal Alliance, becoming one big family once again."

After a few more words, Li Shenghui bowed to the crowd, apologized, and then floated away.

Seeing this, Wang Zijia then turned around only to meet the shining, intense eyes of several Tribulation Crossing Cultivators.

Most of them were men, and older men at that, whose enthusiasm made Wang Zijia feel somewhat queasy.

After a pause, Wang Zijia revealed a tired expression and said, "I too am rather fatigued and will take my leave to rest."
