Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 369
Chapter 369 Ascendant Li Sanpu, a Great Battle at the Ascension Dais!
Still the same place, still the same formula!
Su Bai and the Great Elder once again stood on the ascension dais of the Immortal Realm.
The crowd around them swayed; every ascendant wore a curious expression.
This confirmed one of Su Bai’s suspicions.
Each mortal world attached to an ascension dais was fixed!
They were not randomly assigned ascensions!
That was undoubtedly good news!
When the entire Heavenly Dao Sect ascended, they wouldn’t be scattered because of this!
“Is this the Immortal Realm?”
Su Bai had been here before, so the surroundings were familiar to him. The Great Elder, like the other ascendants, looked around with curiosity.
The whole dais spanned roughly a thousand zhang across, and more than four hundred figures had already gathered.
Around the dais, about a hundred people wearing the same clothing stood guard!
As a result, no one was allowed to leave. Any ascendant who tried to break out was driven back.
If questioned, they all remained as silent as wood.
This left all the ascendants baffled; they could only wait quietly to see what was going on.
“The guarding force around the dais is more than five times larger than before!”
A gleam crossed Su Bai’s eyes—the guards here were far stronger than last time.
Obviously, after the previous incident at the dais, the Gao clan had put this place under close watch to prevent another accident.
Seeing that things hadn’t started, Su Bai immediately split off an unsurpassed clone, merged it into the Path of Concealment, hid his presence, and slipped quietly away from the dais.
No one noticed.
Only by learning more about the Immortal Realm could he prepare the sect for ascension.
His True Self and the Great Elder remained on the dais, ready to “stock up.”
Whoosh!
At that moment, another figure stepped onto the dais on a beam of immortal radiance—a new ascendant had arrived.
Generally speaking, Su Bai didn’t pay much attention to ordinary ascendants, but this time he looked over unexpectedly.
Powerful—so powerful!
Not weaker than the Great Elder!
What mortal world could produce such an extraordinary person?
The ascendant was a young man. Though his power was immense, he behaved plainly and low-key.
Because of that, he hadn’t drawn much attention.
“Hm?”
He suddenly frowned, glancing toward where Su Bai and the Great Elder stood. His gaze tightened; he seemed to sense something.
Soon he moved closer and said, “My name is Li Sanpu. I’m unfamiliar with this Immortal Realm—might we become friends and help one another?” His tone was mild.
But a bright light shone in his eyes.
Reaching this level in the lower realm was no small feat.
He had very likely understood that the Immortal Realm wasn’t all beauty, so he had patiently amassed strength and only now ascended.
He felt that these two were not ordinary. In particular, the Great Elder’s body radiated an indescribably terrifying fluctuation!
Not weaker than him!!
As for Su Bai, though no strong aura was detectable, Su Bai’s keen gaze hinted that Su Bai was the true figure of interest.
“I am Su Bai.”
“I am Chen Wuji!”
Su Bai and the Great Elder both nodded to him, clearly accepting him.
“Fellow daoists, how do you view this Immortal Realm?” Li Sanpu quietly transmitted, asking them.
“How do you see it, Daoist Li?” Su Bai did not answer directly, instead returning the question.
Li Sanpu’s gaze swept the surroundings. After a moment’s thought, he transmitted, “This is bad!”
“These guards all show an arrogant look in their eyes. When they look at us, it’s as if they’re staring at a bunch of lowly commoners!”
“In other words, in their eyes they don’t consider us ascendants as anything at all—they treat us like merchandise!”
“Fellow daoists, I don’t know what your worlds are like, but I’m sure you both understand the law of the jungle.”
“To have cultivated to this level, you two must also see little hope in this Immortal Realm.”
“I know you’re wary of me—that’s to be expected. To be honest, I’m wary of you both as well.”
“But now that we are all ascendants together, we’re like fish on a chopping block; we need to stand on the same line!”
“Fellow daoists, if something happens later, shall we break out together and fight our way through?”
At last he proposed solemnly.
“Fine.”
Su Bai replied calmly.
The Great Elder also nodded lightly.
Ascendants, by nature, should stand on the same front!
After a moment, the ascension dais stirred.
Three figures slowly approached and appeared before all the ascendants.
Heavenly immortals!
All of them were heavenly immortals!
And not beginners like Gao Pan—these were old monsters who had settled in this realm for years!
One second-grade heavenly immortal, one third-grade heavenly immortal, and one fourth-rank celestial immortal!
Far more powerful than the last lineup!
With the arrival of the three principals, the hundred-plus earthly immortal guards around them also began to close in.
“Let us out!”
“What are you doing? Trapping us like this?”
“Is there any justice?”
Seeing the principals emerge, hundreds of ascendants started shouting, their emotions rising.
Clearly, everyone sensed something was wrong!
A repressive atmosphere began to spread, unease settling over all the ascendants.
Looking down at the many ascendants below, the few heavenly immortals revealed cold looks in their eyes.
“Seize all the women and present them to the patriach; subdue all the men and sell them to the slave market!”
“Those who resist—permit summary execution of dozens!”
The fourth-rank celestial immortal at the head spoke, his gaze icy as he looked at the more than four hundred ascendants on the dais.
This time, they were dropping all pretense!
Because their power this time was simply too great!
No ascendant could possibly resist!
These ascendants were nothing more than ants!
“Roar!”
In an instant, whether male or female, all the ascendants’ faces showed shock and fury!
Sell us to the slave market!!!
In the lower realm they ruled All Under Heaven!
Coming to the Immortal Realm, they hadn’t even had time to realize their ambitions—and now they were to become slaves!
Boom!
At his command, all the guards moved!
More than a hundred earthly immortals charged at the ascendants, intent on subduing everyone!
The three heavenly immortals watched coldly, their expressions ice-cold to the extreme.
In their eyes, these ascendants were not people!
They were immortal crystals!!
“Just as I thought!”
A bright gleam flashed in Li Sanpu’s eyes as he looked up at Su Bai and the Great Elder.
“Fellow daoists, take the heavenly immortal in the middle; I’ll handle him. The other two and these guards—are for you to deal with!”
“How about it?”
He transmitted, reminding the two.
“Agreed!”
Su Bai replied calmly.
“Agreed,”
The Great Elder nodded.
He had long since been unable to hold back, eager to test exactly how far his cultivation had advanced and to see what strength these immortals possessed!
At the same time, those hundreds of ascendants were, of course, not the sort to surrender just because someone ordered it.
Each of them was Heaven’s Chosen One; even trapped in danger now, they would struggle and fight back at least once!
“Rumble!”
For a moment, a great battle broke out on the Ascension Platform!!
