"And this is just your reward for clearing the stages. The ranking rewards are calculated separately. I can guarantee that at least the top five will receive an immortal technique."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Wang Teng had firsthand experience with the power of immortal techniques.
His [Heavenly Sun Divine Palm] was a terrifying attack to the people of the God-Slaying race. With a single palm strike, it unleashed a wide-area AoE attack, covering an area as large as a city.
Liang Zifan's [Raging Thunder Splitting Heaven] also made many people who disliked him wary.
Zhuang Hongxia asked, "Can I also..."
"Of course, Miss Zhuang is now a part of Blue Star as well."
Zhuang Hongxia's eyes also flashed with brilliance. She hadn't practiced any immortal techniques, not because they were unavailable, but because her cultivation was insufficient.
Cultivators like Wang Teng who could use immortal techniques so early were highly inconsistent with the laws of cultivation.
Immortal techniques require comprehension to learn, and one must at least be at the Mahayana stage to unleash them.
However, this "Immortal Brother's" immortal techniques were clearly different from others; they skipped the learning process and were directly implanted into one's mind as memories.
Therefore, although Zhuang Hongxia felt that the cultivators in this world were generally still very weak, the most terrifying point was that they were all cultivating immortality.
Regardless of talent, as long as one obtained a technique from the [Technique Pavilion], they could directly knock on the door of immortal cultivation.
What a magical setting.
Since that was the case, she also wanted to obtain an immortal technique!
She already possessed an immortal artifact. The [Void Bow] that had shot her twice to death had been taken by Wang Teng and given to her.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "Then I look forward to your performance. I'll be broadcasting globally, you know. It's one thing if others embarrass themselves, but if you do, it'll be quite amusing."
After saying that, Chu Yang slipped into the [Ascension Tower] to... play games with the Immortal Emperors.
They were short one player for a five-man team, and they had arranged it the day before.
The crowd arrived at the plaza and, as usual, milled around.
Luo Xiaowei went to the [Hundred Weapons Workshop] to get some flying swords, replenishing his [Sword Nurturing Gourd] and hoping to gamble for some good items.
The others went to play in the [Ascension Tower].
It was Zhuang Hongxia's first time discovering so many fun things here. Everything in this world was novel to her.
She also entered the [Ascension Tower] and unexpectedly found herself facing an Immortal Emperor from his younger days.
Of course, upon entering, one's cultivation realm would be suppressed to be the same as before.
Due to insufficient preparation, she lost on the first floor.
When she heard that defeating these opponents could earn immortal emperor rewards, she was even more shocked.
Although this world didn't have as many ways to obtain opportunities as the true immortal cultivation world, the value of everything that could be obtained was terrifyingly high!
She heard that when they were just Qi Refining realm rookies, the first-place finisher in a trial could receive an immortal artifact as a reward.
Good heavens, she had previously thought that these geniuses who went to other immortal cultivation worlds to obtain resources must have been living miserably on Blue Star. She hadn't expected that the miserable ones would actually be the holy sons and holy daughters of those immortal cultivation worlds.
That Liang Zifan, after passing the second floor of the Ascension Tower, actually obtained the [Lightning Controlling Physique], receiving a special physique as a reward. Truly terrifying!
And that Zhang Xiaohu, he actually obtained a super cultivation technique that could cultivate flames imbued with imperial intent.
Li Qingyun and Wang Teng were even more outrageous; they could directly become disciples of an Immortal Emperor and be personally taught by them!
"This world is so much fun!"
This was Zhuang Hongxia's conclusion. This mysterious Immortal Brother was simply too wealthy!
Immortal artifacts, immortal techniques, immortal pills, immortal herbs – he gave them away as soon as he mentioned them!
The [Ascension Tower] was the place where they could best test their strength, because their requirement for themselves was to be Immortal Emperors. Therefore, only by proving they could defeat an Immortal Emperor of the same realm could they prove they had the potential of a Great Emperor; otherwise, it was self-deception.
...
"Senior Qing Emperor, why are you so distracted?"
Qing Emperor looked at Chu Yang with a strange expression and said, "I might be about to become a paternal grandfather."
Chu Yang: "???"
The day Li Qingyun returned, he learned the whole story from Qing Emperor.
After hearing it, he was greatly shocked, but he was also a little worried. Was this forced relationship truly sweet?
Qing Emperor, however, said with the air of someone who had been through it all, "He already fell in love with that girl long ago, he just resisted dating. I'm helping him overcome his inner demons! And I could hear them both admit their feelings with my own ears before I did that. I didn't force it! I just added a little catalyst!"
Chu Yang was utterly speechless. This catalyst had ended up producing a child, hadn't it?
...
Although only a few days had passed on Blue Star, almost two years had passed in the sixth immortal cultivation world.
Hong Yu had also been pregnant for two years. With this timeline, it was clear this child was no ordinary person!
The entire Residual Incense Valley attached great importance to Hong Yu's prenatal care, boiling medicinal soups with sacred herbs daily to nourish her body.
For Xia Yunxi, Hong Yu, the Saintess, was considered a failure. She could place her hopes on Hong Yu and Li Qingyun's child.
Today was the day their child was to be born. Qing Emperor's true form had even rushed back from other planes.
On this day, the sound of the Great Dao echoed throughout Residual Incense Valley.
The Enlightenment Ancient Tree, which was supposed to appear only once every four thousand years, reappeared. It wasn't a phantom image, but a true Enlightenment Tree.
Circles of Dao charm emanated from the Enlightenment Tree, gradually converging in Residual Incense Valley and onto the infant held in Xia Yunxi's arms.
"It's... it's a girl! Ah, is this the Enlightenment Tree?"
She quickly looked up at the sky and then loudly announced to all the disciples in the sect, "All disciples, sit properly and feel the Dao charm brought by the Enlightenment Ancient Tree. It will be beneficial for your breakthrough!"
Qing Emperor also looked at the Enlightenment Ancient Tree in the sky and narrowed his eyes.
As if sensing Qing Emperor's gaze, the Enlightenment Ancient Tree trembled all over and had to manifest more of its fragmented souls into the infant.
The little infant's eyes widened, not crying or making a fuss, but stretching out its chubby little hands and laughing heartily.
Qing Emperor snatched the infant into his arms and glared at Xia Yunxi, "I am her paternal grandfather, let me hold her!"
Xia Yunxi was furious. She hadn't even had her future Saintess warm up yet!
Qing Emperor playfully poked the child with his finger. The child was very well-behaved, which greatly pleased Qing Emperor. "Haha, as expected of my disciple's child, she clearly has the potential of a Great Emperor!"
