Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Reception Golden Light
The Heart Division group has had a rough time.
First, they were attacked by other domains, living in constant fear for their safety.
Then, they teamed up with the Water Tribe, enduring gossip and disdain every day.
Finally, they stumbled into a trap, nearly meeting total destruction.
This journey has truly been heart-wrenching and tear-jerking.
After joining with Mo Chen and the Profound Turtle King, Qingsuo stared wide-eyed at the fine wines, delicious foods, puppet song and dance ensemble, and other obviously entertainment-focused facilities on the turtle’s back.
Even Brother Cheng felt a little guilty.
He had been enjoying a carefree life, playing mahjong and sleeping, while casually amassing a heap of points and two attendants, which starkly contrasted with their plight.
"By the way, Sect Leader Jiang, was it your doing that we suddenly got transported here?"
Jiang Cheng nodded without hesitation.
"That’s right!"
"I unexpectedly befriended a powerful native here and learned that you had fallen into a trap, in grave danger!"
He clenched his fist and declared passionately, "I couldn’t stay still then!"
"All the Heart Division members are my good friends; how could I ignore friends in trouble?"
"After much persuasion and paying a heavy price, I finally convinced that mighty power to free you from your crisis."
Even though Brother Cheng didn’t know the purpose of increasing goodwill with the Heart Division, this kind of win-over operation had become second nature to him.
He habitually embellished his achievements.
After all, with the Ruins Essence long gone, he could spin his stories as he wished.
Besides, if it weren’t for him saving the Ruins Essence, Qingsuo and the others would indeed have been unable to escape.
Learning of his tireless efforts on behalf of the Heart Division, Qingsuo and the others were moved to tears once again.
"Sect Leader Jiang, how can we ever repay you..."
"This time again you saved us; truly, you are the rebirth parent of our Heart Division!"
Oh, come on, you’re all older than me by millions of years.
"As allies, this small matter is simply my duty."
The Heart Race people, now settled, finally felt free of all pressure.
After joining Sect Leader Jiang, they inexplicably felt fearless.
Mo Chen came over, "Sect Leader, do you have any leads on the entrance to the Immortal Realm?"
At these words, everyone’s ears perked up.
"Rest assured, the Void Immortal Realm will soon vanish. Then the ascension rules will return to normal, and you’ll be able to ascend again."
"Really?"
"That’s wonderful!"
Although they couldn’t sneak into the Immortal Realm as they intended before, everyone was still elated.
At least there’s real hope now, isn’t it?
But just as they cheered, the endlessly gray sky above suddenly brightened.
Large patches of golden light grew increasingly bright, illuminating the entire Void Immortal Realm as if in broad daylight.
"What’s this?"
Jiang Cheng was also curious.
He was just planning to ask the Ruins Essence about it when he felt an inexplicable attraction coming from the golden light.
Not just him; everyone in the Void Immortal Realm felt it.
The faint allure in that golden light seemed to beckon them towards another world.
"This scene, I’ve seen it in an ancient sect manuscript..."
"Millions of years ago, after our sect’s ancestor crossed the tribulation, golden light descended from the heavens to lead him into the Immortal Realm!"
"Could this be the Reception Golden Light?"
"But, we haven’t crossed the tribulation yet!"
"Yeah, I’m not even at the Peak of Saint Tier. How could the Reception Golden Light appear?"
"With the rules in chaos now, what’s impossible about becoming an immortal without crossing the tribulation?"
"This opportunity cannot be missed!"
Someone rushed directly into the area surrounded by one of the golden beams.
Soon after, the person floated upwards and towards the sky.
Before long, they disappeared from the Void Immortal Realm!
"Did they become immortal?"
"No way, so easily?"
Countless people went wild, rushing towards the Reception Golden Light...
And soon, more and more people disappeared from the Void Immortal Realm.
The same was true on Jiang Cheng’s side.
Qingsuo and the Profound Turtle King quickly recognized it was the Reception Golden Light.
"Sect Leader Jiang, should we go up?"
Despite their impatience, everyone still waited for Jiang Cheng’s word.
"Then let’s go!"
With such an opportunity before them, there was no reason to refuse.
Think about his 992 chaos-level main rules — when could he reach entry level?
Now he could directly go to the Immortal Realm; of course, he was willing.
Including the Frost Rabbit King and Female Chicken King, everyone stepped into one of the golden beams.
Soon after, they felt a gentle pull, slowly lifting them.
They rose higher and higher; soon, a new world appeared above them.
Although they hadn’t arrived yet, they could already see the blue skies, white clouds, and lush landscapes of this world.
Compared with the harsh environment of the Void Immortal Realm, it was simply paradise!
"Is that the Immortal Realm?"
"It must be!"
"Quick, enter..."
Without hesitation, everyone actively flew towards this paradise.
When they finally entered and stood firm on this land, they felt a peace unlike any other before.
A gentle breeze brushed by, making everyone feel at ease and joyful.
People exclaimed in delight and cheer.
"Ahhh, I finally reached the Immortal Realm..."
"Is this the legendary Immortal Yuan Qi?"
The surrounding atmosphere was dozens of times more potent than Spiritual Qi of the Lower Realm.
Many Heart Race people, just as they landed, sat cross-legged immediately, ready to break through under the stimulation of Immortal Yuan Qi.
It’s not just them; everyone who entered via the golden light was immersed in joy.
Some were moved to tears, some knelt down to kiss the soil here.
Many more were busy cultivating and breaking through as soon as they arrived.
Mo Chen wasn’t wrong; ascenders coming from the ’tough lands’ of the Lower Realm inherently have more drive than the native inhabitants of the Upper Realm.
Give them even a minor chance to rise, and they’ll most likely seize it.
The masters of each domain quickly settled, and Jiang Cheng was no exception.
He released all the disciples from the Xuanji Map.
"Hey, where are we?"
"Isn’t this the Void Immortal Realm?"
"Sect Leader, did we enter the Immortal Realm?"
Jiang Cheng already didn’t have time to answer them.
As soon as everyone emerged, the system started crazily calculating his scores.
After all, in the past year, 8,100 years had passed in the Xuanji Map.
Ji Linghan and Lin Ning had both broken through to the Ascending to Saint Ninth Layer.
Meanwhile, Luo Yuan, Wei Miao, and the others had progressed to the Ascending to Saint First and Second Layers.
As for the Fourth Generation Disciples, they all uniformly reached the Daoist Palace Realm.
There’s no help for it; although most Fourth Gen Disciples hadn’t yet improved their talent, plenty of pills and spirit stones were available.
Plus, there were always Ascending to Saint Experts to consult; Mo Chen had even passed on his experiences before. They found it hard not to improve.
Brother Cheng finally did the calculations and discovered he’d gained 17.2 billion points this time!
Adding to the 7.5 billion he already had, his total now reached 24.7 billion points.
