Cultivators defy the heavens for a reason beyond just gaining immense power.
It is to seek immortality and tread the Immortal Path.
But the road of the strong is not so easily traversed.
Along this journey, countless individuals have ultimately perished or fallen midway.
As for stepping onto the Immortal Path, that is even more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
Even formidable beings like Wuma Changkong, Jin Shan, Dugu Laomo, Baili Qinghong, Azure Wave Emperor, Wanjin Dragon Emperor, and the Frog King remain stuck at the Summit of God-Slaying, with the distance to the Immortal Path still unfathomably far.
Yet, what is inscribed on this towering stone tablet before me?
Decayed Divine Transformation Jade Bone: entering the Celestial Pool guarantees ascension to immortality.
I cast my gaze toward this so-called Ascension Pool.
Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a solemnity wash over him.
In his past life, immortality might have seemed insignificant, akin to an ant's existence.
But in his current body, even with his memories awakened, striving to quickly reach the realm of immortals would undoubtedly require a long journey ahead.
“If this Ascension Pool truly possesses the ability as inscribed on the tablet, transforming decay into wonder and allowing one to swiftly attain immortality, it would indeed be a fortuitous place for me at this moment.”
Looking around, the Celestial Pool was not very large, with a diameter of only about ten zhang.
However, Ye Fan noticed that the water in the Celestial Pool seemed extraordinary, containing a surging and abundant Celestial Essence.
It was far beyond the Celestial Essence that permeated other areas of the Immortal Mansion, shimmering with a faint glow, thick and rich, almost like a tangible paste.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Fan stepped directly into it.
"Splash!"
As soon as Ye Fan entered the pool, the water in the Celestial Pool instantly boiled, producing huge bubbles and swirling mist.
Streams of thick Celestial Spirit Power surged towards Ye Fan's body.
Ye Fan did not resist; instead, he leaned against one side of the Celestial Pool and slowly lay down, allowing the Celestial Spirit Power to flow into his body.
Now he understood the meaning of the two phrases on the stone tablet.
The so-called Decayed Divine Transformation Jade Bone meant that entering the Celestial Pool would surely lead to ascension. It was simply relying on the vast Celestial Spirit Power within this pool to enhance one's physical condition.
From internal organs to bones and meridians, and even to the skin and hair on the outside.
All depended on the Celestial Spirit Power here to cleanse them, filling his body with Celestial Essence.
In this way, reaching immortality would become much easier.
From Ye Fan's current realm, it was clearly impossible to reach the Celestial Realm with just these means.
"Perhaps a powerhouse like Wuma Changkong, at the Pinnacle of God-Slaying, could truly achieve rapid advancement to the Celestial Realm here," Ye Fan murmured lightly.
For a strong practitioner at the God-Slaying Stage, aside from self-severing the Three Souls of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity to strengthen their divine soul, the remaining task was to transform all the spiritual energy within their body into Celestial Essence.
Although once cultivation reached the Tribulation Stage, the spiritual energy within had undergone a qualitative change and could be referred to as Celestial Energy, there remained an essential difference when compared to true Celestial Essence.
This was also why Wuma Changkong and others had reached the Pinnacle of God-Slaying for countless years yet still could not ascend to immortality.
Transforming all that Celestial Energy within into Celestial Essence was no easy feat. They neither had conditions like those before them nor did they possess Celestial Stones to absorb.
Thus, they could only remain at the Pinnacle of God-Slaying, continuing to accumulate over time in hopes of slowly breaking through.
As Ye Fan enjoyed the continuous influx of Celestial Essence into his body, he attempted to use his spiritual sense to see if he could probe beyond his immediate surroundings.
The Immortal Mansion was filled with Restrictions; to explore with spiritual sense, one had to navigate around those Restrictions. Otherwise, with the obstructions posed by the Restrictions, it would be difficult for spiritual sense to cover a wide area.
The Restrictions and formations were closely related, and with Ye Fan's understanding of the formations, he easily avoided those Restrictions.
He then sought out the location of Wuma Changkong and the others.
At this moment, Wuma Changkong and the others had already learned from Wuma Xian'er that there was no news of Ye Fan's demise.
This revelation eased some of the anger in their hearts.
At the same time, they couldn't help but curse inwardly.
In Wuma Changkong's view, Ye Fan must have faked his death to slip away and seek benefits on his own.
This kid was quite strange and also very cunning; he was actually hoarding everything for himself.
Suddenly, Wuma Changkong, Wuma Xian'er, Nangong Xuandie, Lang Sun Chuan, and the others were all taken aback at once.
In their minds, Ye Fan's voice echoed: "Sect Master, Sister Xian'er, Sister Xuandie, do not make a fuss. Follow my directions and move forward. There is a place here that may greatly enhance your Cultivation."
"Especially you, Sect Master; you might even reach the Celestial Realm directly."
The Celestial Essence in the Ascension Pool was extremely abundant; how could Ye Fan forget about Wuma Xian'er and the others?
"Directly to the Celestial Realm...?"
Wuma Changkong's eyes widened in disbelief, almost thinking he had misheard.
Wuma Xian'er, Nangong Xuandie, and Lang Sun Chuan all displayed deep shock in their eyes.
"Let's go!"
Wuma Changkong shot a glance at everyone, then fiercely struck at Jin Shan once more before retreating.
"Jin Shan, I'll settle this score with you after we get out," Wuma Changkong said sharply on purpose.
Jin Shan had already unleashed his true fire but understood the importance of seizing the Celestial Artifact. He coldly snorted and remained silent.
Due to Ye Fan's Ascension Token, the number of strong individuals from the Supreme Demon Sect far exceeded those from the Suspended King Sword Sect.
Moreover, since they had all acted out of anger earlier, within this brief moment, one member of the Suspended King Sword Sect had been jointly killed by Wuma Xian'er and the others.
The other two members were now also injured.
The rest were still engaged in battle, fighting over the Celestial Artifact.
However, after withdrawing, Wuma Changkong and the others did not attempt to seize any of the Celestial Artifacts; instead, they quietly left the area.
Following Ye Fan's telepathic guidance, they easily avoided numerous Restrictions and arrived beside the Ascension Pool.
"Ascension Pool?"
Following Ye Fan's guidance, the group arrived at the Ascension Pool. Their eyes were drawn to the stone tablet before them, which bore the words "Ascension Pool," causing a slight tremor among them.
"Decayed Divine Transformation Jade Bone, once entering the Celestial Pool, one will surely ascend!"
As these words were spoken, Wuma Changkong felt the most exhilaration. His gaze fixed on the Ascension Pool, he sensed the tangible Celestial Essence within the water and without hesitation, jumped right in.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master," Lang Sun Chuan said, equally filled with excitement.
The other powerful members of the Supreme Demon Sect also had shining eyes. They clasped their fists towards Ye Fan and expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, Elder Ye."
Ye Fan nodded casually and gestured forward, saying, "It's nothing. You all go over there. Sister Xianer and Sister Xuan Die, come here."
Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Nangong Xuandie and Wuma Xian'er exchanged glances, their faces breaking into a smile that was neither fully a smile nor a frown.
Wuma Changkong and Lang Sun Chuan were momentarily taken aback.
What’s going on here?
Is this some kind of couple's bath?
