Chapter 1168 Ascension to the Immortal Realm (Final Chapter)
After refining the Celestial Elixir, Li Qing did not rush to consume it, but continued to patiently wait for the best opportunity.

For him, becoming a True Immortal was no longer a difficult task. What he sought was to completely break the blockade imposed by the Upper Realm on the Southern Reed Continent, allowing more living beings to trigger the Great Tribulation of Ascension and ascend to the Immortal Realm in one fell swoop.

In the years that followed, Li Qing began to travel to various realms, leaving his footprints in every ancient world of life.

Over a period of approximately eight hundred years, Li Qing detected a strange chaotic energy. He used the law of cause and effect, employing the divine power of reversing cause and effect, and followed the threads of cause and effect to find a clue to a chaotic treasure!

"It's actually the Chaos Measuring Ruler!"

In the vast void, Li Qing gazed at a dazzling sea of ​​stars in the distance and murmured to himself. He had found the seventh-ranked Chaos Treasure in this realm group—the Chaos Measuring Ruler!

Based on the clues, he was able to determine that this Chaos Treasure was definitely hidden in the dazzling sea of ​​stars ahead, perhaps within one of the realms.

Even now, for him, a Chaos Treasure that ranks among the top ten is still an extremely precious treasure that he absolutely cannot miss.

And so, Li Qing transformed into a beam of celestial light and plunged into that sea of ​​stars, beginning his search for the Chaos Measuring Ruler.

Just after entering this sea of ​​stars, he sensed a strange feeling from the darkness, as if fate had turned back to look at him.

Sensing something, Li Qing immediately locked onto a peculiar small world, which turned out to be the Polar Night World!
Previously, he could only come to this realm by relying on his ability to travel between the two realms. Now, however, he has come to this small realm in person, crossing the endless sea of ​​stars with his own abilities, and finally arrived here.

This strange feeling made Li Qing unable to resist trying to travel between the two worlds again, to see if he could escape into this world when he was close to it.

But this time, the interdimensional travel failed, and he could no longer close his eyes and go to that pitch-black world.

"How could this be? Is it because I'm near this realm and can't travel through it? Or is my cultivation too powerful and subject to the rejection of the laws of heaven and earth?" Li Qing frowned slightly, many doubts arising in his heart.

The next moment, he used his powerful divine sense to observe this small world, but what he saw was a scene that left him speechless.

The polar night world is a desolate wasteland, where not a single blade of grass grows!

Not to mention humans, there isn't even a single insect among them!
Life has vanished from this realm; all that remains is a profound stillness, where the laws of death weave through the entire interface like a nightmare.

"How is this possible!" Li Qing was shocked and could not believe what he was seeing. He even thought he was having a nightmare.

Soon, within his sea of ​​consciousness, the Demon Lord's will slowly revived, emanating a deep voice: "Surprised? After my theft of the Primal World Seed was exposed, my sins have spread to my homeland."

"This is the work of the Dao Ancestor of Reincarnation in the Upper Realm. He comprehended the laws of life and death and used them to evolve reincarnation. The reincarnation of all living beings in the myriad realms is under his control."

“I tried to sever all causal ties with my homeland, but He still managed to deduce it. So He removed the laws of life from this world and completely rooted the laws of death in this world, causing this world to stop its evolution and reincarnation.”

In an instant, countless questions arose in Li Qing's mind. He asked, "Then where was that polar night world I went to?"

"That is the past timeline. The mysteries contained within the Primordial Realm are endless, even involving the realm of time. Before I died, I triggered one of them, thereby leaving behind the past timeline of my homeland, so that you can go there freely."

"There is no doubt that even the past timeline is a real world, except that all the people and things you encountered have been buried in the long river of time."

The Demon Lord had anticipated this question and quickly provided an answer to Li Qing.

Those were all things that happened in the past.
Li Qing took a deep breath. He still had many questions, but none of them mattered right now.

"Is there any way to bring back the polar night world of the past?"

The Demon Lord replied, "I do not know. The river of time flows ever onward, and the only way to go against the current is to understand the mysteries of time."

"The only thing I can tell you is that no one knows if the Time Dao Ancestor exists in the Immortal Realm. This is the biggest mystery in the Immortal Realm. He may exist in the past, present, or future at any point in time."

After a moment of silence, Li Qing spoke again: "Then do you know my background?"

“I don’t know, but you are the most unique among all my inheritors. You are not even in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which means that even the Ancestor of Reincarnation could not deduce your existence.”

"None of my successors have been able to escape the pursuit of the upper realm, all because the Dao Ancestor of Reincarnation can deduce the cycle of life and death of all living beings. Only you have transcended it."

"I have no way of knowing more than that. If you want to know the answer to everything, then go and find it yourself. If you can achieve the position of Dao Ancestor one day, perhaps everything will become clear."

At this point, the Demon Lord's will subsided once again.

Li Qing remained silent for a long time before finally suppressing his questions.

Then, he continued his search for the Chaos Measuring Ruler in this sea of ​​stars.

This search lasted for over 1,500 years. During this time, he faced his own great tribulation, with terrifying heavenly lightning seemingly trying to annihilate all traces of his existence, but he still managed to overcome it with ease.

He is now unafraid of any heavenly lightning in the lower realm. Even if the Great Dao manifests as a calamity, he can suppress it!
Finally, Li Qing found the Chaos Measuring Ruler in a desolate interface.

This seventh-ranked Chaos Treasure lies across the chaos, its ruler measuring the heavens and earth, with countless stars arranged on its handle like embellishments.

A primordial treasure born of chaos, inheriting the will of the Great Dao of this world, is a true treasure!
It took Li Qing several years to refine it. After gaining control of the Chaos Measuring Ruler, his combat power increased once again.

If he wanted to, he could even sever a medium-sized ancient life realm with a single blow if he fully activated this Chaos Treasure!

He is now incredibly powerful. Even though he hasn't yet advanced to the True Immortal realm, he is confident that he can fight against a true immortal.

Never before in the entire universe has a being as powerful as him been born. Even those beings who attained immortality in history were not as powerful as him.

In this mortal realm, Li Qing continues his cultivation, which is why he is not in a hurry to become a true immortal by using the Heavenly Elixir, but wants to do his best to reach the end.

In the blink of an eye, another six thousand years have passed.

Li Qing survived two more terrifying tribulations. The Dao Tribulation Limitless Scripture he cultivated required terrifying tribulations to transform him, and his strength improved once again.

Finally, nine thousand years later, he survived the last great tribulation of his life.

It has reached its end. The Great Dao of the lower realm can no longer unleash a stronger heavenly tribulation. His Daoist techniques have reached complete perfection in the environment of the lower realm.

For the past nine thousand years, he has not been cultivating in seclusion in one place, but has traveled to many star fields and realms, leaving his footprints all over the entire Nanweizhou small world group.

It was during this considerable period that he met many beings who were close to immortals, such as the Azure Dragon King and the Qilin King, but were unable to ascend to immortality due to the severing of heaven and earth.

Some of these beings come from great realms such as the Xuanming Realm, the Brahma Realm, and the Tai Cang Realm, while others slumber in hidden corners.

Li Qing made a promise to them all: he would break the seal of heaven and earth, allowing all living beings to have the opportunity to ascend to immortality.

Finally, Li Qing returned to the Spirit Realm. He went to his Boundless Cave Heaven and refined the faith and willpower he had gathered into an avatar. As long as the faith and willpower gathered in the future, this avatar would not dissipate and would always protect the human race.

As for Xuangu City on the Tonggu Continent, he also placed it in the human territory. The humans in this entire city have become his most loyal believers, offering incense to him day and night.

After doing all this, he went to the territory of the Fire Spirit Clan and gave him two Fire Element Dao Fruits that he had promised to give to the Crimson Emperor Heavenly Lord.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" The Crimson Emperor Heavenly Lord sighed and carefully accepted the two Fire Element Dao Fruits. These were his chance to become an immortal. In the future, he could use them to transform into immortal fire and step into the realm of immortality!

"Be prepared and wait for the right opportunity." Li Qing left these words behind and then disappeared.

Before long, his figure appeared in a celestial city on the Tianyuan Continent, where he saw Xia Wushuang, who was still wearing an eye patch.

Xia Wushuang has erased the Great Dao Oath and can freely enter and leave the Tianyuan Continent. He is still a great pirate who roams the outer seas, but he prefers to frequent human cities.

This time, Li Qing and Xia Wushuang drank for three days and three nights, almost finishing off all the spirit wine in the entire city.

"Brother Xia, do you really not need me to help you recover your eyes?" Li Qing asked with a smile, looking at the drunken Xia Wushuang.

The latter waved his hand dismissively and said, "What do you know? This is the style of a great pirate. In the future, I will rule all the seas and become a legendary pirate in the spirit world."

Li Qing shook his head helplessly, took some precious spiritual items from his person and put them into Xia Wushuang's storage bag, and then transferred a mouthful of true essence containing immortal spiritual power to him.

"Brother Xia, I hope that one day we can meet again in the Immortal Realm."

"Don't worry, as long as there's a sea in the Immortal Realm, I'll be able to ascend there one day." Xia Wushuang slumped onto the table, completely drunk.

After doing all this, Li Qing's figure disappeared again, arriving on the Xuanfeng Continent.

Moon Spirit City, the territory of the elves!

The current queen of the Elf race is Mingya. She has become a powerful cultivator in the Integration stage and manages the entire Elf race very well.

Sitting on the Wind Elf Throne, Mingya felt a sudden connection and looked towards a corner of the Moon Tree Palace. There she saw a tall figure standing in the shadows, looking at her with a gentle smile.

“Senior Wuji!” Mingya immediately lost her demeanor as an elven queen, flapping her thin wind wings and flying from her throne to Li Qing’s side.

"Well, congratulations on advancing to the Fusion Stage and becoming a qualified queen." Li Qing gently patted Mingya's head.

Tears welled up in Mingya's clear eyes as she asked, "Senior Wuji, have you come to say goodbye to Mingya?"

“Yes, I am about to ascend to immortality, and remembering our promise to meet again, I came to see you one last time.” Li Qing nodded. “Mingya is reluctant to part with you, Senior.” Mingya clenched her fists in front of her chest, revealing her reluctance.

Li Qing gently comforted him, "All good things must come to an end. This time I will break the seal of the Immortal Realm, and in the future, ascensionists will appear in this world again."

"This is a treasure I've used since the lower realm, called the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings, which I'm now giving to you. I've specially refined this treasure once, and it's also infused with a layer of primordial chaos. In the future, it has the potential to transform into a supreme primordial chaos treasure."

"Cultivate diligently. With the bloodline of the Wind Spirit, you may well ascend to immortality in the future. At that time, we may have a chance to meet again."

After receiving the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings, Mingya's beautiful eyes revealed a determined look. She had considered asking Li Qing to take her with him to ascend, but the Elf race still needed her, so she did not make that request.

"Yes, Senior Wuji! I wish you all the best in the future and a long and prosperous immortal path!"

"Then I'll take your kind words. I'm leaving now, goodbye!"

In the blink of an eye, Li Qing's figure vanished, as if he had never existed.

Finally, Li Qing returned to the Dao Palace and summoned his personal disciples.

Li Qiyin has now reached the peak of the Integration Stage and can enter the Mahayana Stage at any time. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Li Qing with reluctance.

"Master, please take me with you to ascend to heaven. I promise I won't hold you back."

Over the years, she has cultivated with all her might, never slacking off, hoping that one day she can catch up with her master and ascend to the immortal realm together.

However, the path of cultivation is not something you can rush. Even those with a Yin constitution must cultivate diligently and slowly to prepare for a breakthrough to Mahayana.

Li Qing sighed softly and said, "You have the body of Taiyin and have also received the inheritance of Taiyin Tianzun. Becoming an immortal is not a difficult thing for you."

"After you ascend to the Immortal Realm, even I dare not say that I will be able to protect myself. I can't keep you in the treasure cave forever; that would be a waste of your talent."

"I hope you can ascend after me, so that you can avoid some karma and prevent those formidable enemies from targeting you."

"I will need your help again in the future, so you need to grow up as soon as possible."

At this point, Li Qing took out a rice stalk with golden branches and jade leaves, scraped off the celestial grains that were full of it, and gave them all to Li Qiyin.

"Once you advance to the Mahayana stage, consume these celestial foods. These are genuine celestial medicines that will greatly enhance your Mahayana cultivation. With their help, given your talent, you can quickly reach the late Mahayana stage, and even attain immortality."

Li Qiyin forced back the tears from his eyes and nodded vigorously, saying, "Then Master, you must live well! I don't want to be unable to find you after I ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

"Ideally, my master could establish a great business empire, so I could continue to live off my parents!"

"Of course, if there are enemies we can't defeat, then we'll deal with them together after I become an immortal!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing affectionately ruffled Li Qiyin's hair and said with a smile, "Okay, I promise you."

"I'm entrusting the rest of my junior brothers and sisters to you as well. Your master will be waiting for you in the Immortal Realm."

Li Qiyin slowly knelt down and kowtowed several times to his master.

After bidding farewell to his personal disciple, Li Qing arrived above the Five Elements Immortal Island.

Over the years, he has been able to sense that the resurgence of the Primordial Realm Seeds is becoming increasingly intense. If he waits any longer, the powerful beings in the Upper Realm will probably sense it as well.

He must become an immortal as soon as possible and then ascend to the upper realm to completely solve this problem.

"That's about enough, let's begin."

Li Qing closed his eyes, formed hand seals, and activated the Dao Jie Wu Ji Jing to adjust his state to its peak.

The Celestial Elixir within his body had long since become perfectly round and full, transforming into a true supreme immortal elixir.

With a thought from Li Qing, the Celestial Elixir quietly dissolved and nourished his nascent soul.

boom!
In an instant, the vast true essence within his body underwent a tremendous change, with all his magical power transforming into immortal spiritual power.

In the blink of an eye, Li Qing's aura broke through that threshold and completely stepped into the realm of immortality!
At that moment, he became a true immortal!

But that wasn't enough. The medicinal power of the Celestial Elixir was still evaporating, and Li Qing wanted to use it to open up the Immortal Aperture in one go.

He quickly activated the Primal World Seed, and this mysterious immortal seed emitted boundless radiance, illuminating all the immortal apertures within his body.

Without hesitation, Li Qing activated all the medicinal power in one of his immortal apertures, thus firmly establishing himself in the realm of true immortals.

Rumble!
The heavens collapsed at that moment, and his tribulation to ascend to immortality finally arrived.

Ignoring the great tribulation of becoming an immortal descending from the sky, Li Qing instead summoned the Chaos Measuring Ruler and cleaved it down towards the Five Elements Immortal Island below.

This attack nearly severed the Great Dao itself, and its terrifying power evaporated all the seawater within a radius of 100,000 miles, leaving the entire Five Elements Immortal Island completely bare.

"Break the seal!" Li Qing's eyes flashed with a cold light as he forcibly broke the immortal seal on this place using forbidden immortal techniques, thus freeing the Chaos Divine Thunder Bow.

At this very moment, the blockade of the Immortal Realm began to loosen slightly!

Li Qing understood that he had to seize this opportunity to break the blockade, otherwise he would never have any hope of ascending to the Immortal Realm.

However, his ascension tribulation alone was not enough to break the seal of the upper realm; he needed the power of more living beings!
He ignored the lightning that struck him during the Ascension Tribulation, and instead sat quietly in the void, as if he were activating some kind of Daoist technique.

"Everyone, the blockade has been loosened, triggering your great calamity of ascension to immortality. We will all ascend together!"

As this mighty voice resounded, Li Qing's majestic figure appeared in every corner of the myriad realms. These were all places he had set foot in, and all left behind his thoughts.

Almost simultaneously, in every corner of the Nanweizhou Minor Realm, all the beings who had long awaited the opportunity to ascend felt a sense of urgency and began their trials.

In the Ancient Dragon Realm, the Azure Dragon King burst forth, his aura surging, triggering a vast celestial calamity!
The Qilin King ascended to the heavens, its nine-colored radiance illuminating the boundless void. With each step it took, its aura grew stronger, until it finally broke through the barrier and entered the realm of immortals.

Phoenix Queen spread her wings, and her magnificent feathers released a dazzling celestial light, signifying her advancement to True Immortal.

In the Spirit Realm, on the Tianyuan Continent, the Crimson Emperor Heavenly Lord swallowed the two Fire Element Dao Fruits given to him by Li Qing. His body, which resembled a forged crimson magma, emitted terrifying flames and was transforming into immortal flames.

For so many beings to undergo the Ascension Tribulation together is absolutely unprecedented in all of history!
And the root of all this is because of Li Qing at this moment!

He stood firmly on the Heavenly Dao, enduring his own tribulation of ascending to immortality, and managed to open a crack in the seal of the Immortal Realm.

As more and more living beings triggered their own ascension tribulations, the pressure on Li Qing finally eased considerably. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked toward the faintly visible gate to immortality.

"Immortal Realm, here I come!"

The Immortal Realm, a place unknown to most.

Two young men with an air of otherworldly wisdom sat cross-legged on a high platform, seemingly bored, with an endless expanse of the Boundary Sea in front of them.

"Sigh, senior brother, when do you think we can return to the Immortal Palace? It's too boring guarding the Boundary Sea here."

"I don't know. We can only return to the Immortal Palace once we have gathered twelve ascendants from the lower realms. There have been far too few cultivators ascending from the Boundary Sea in these past few eras; only two have appeared in total," the fat immortal said with a yawn.

Just then, violent waves suddenly surged in the vast Boundary Sea, and dozens of bright lights flashed from the southern end of the Boundary Sea.

"Huh? Senior brother, look! This is the light of ascension! There are so many ascendants?!" The skinny immortal was overjoyed, so excited that he almost jumped up.

However, after the fat immortal saw it clearly, his expression changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice, "No, how could it be the Ascension Light of the Southern Reed Continent Minor Realm? Wasn't the path to ascension in this realm group blocked?!"

"Blocked? Why would the path to ascension in the Southern Reed Continent's minor realm be blocked?" The skinny immortal asked with curiosity.

The fat immortal shook his head and said, "I don't know. It seems to involve a secret. We should hurry back to the Immortal Palace to report this matter!"

"Alright, after counting all these beams of light, our mission can be considered complete."

The Celestial Realm, the Moonless Heaven.

A fairy in a moon robe came riding on the clouds. She looked at the fleeting light of the flying fairy in front of her and immediately flew forward to greet it.

A tall figure landed on a blue stone, then slowly sat up and looked around at the scenery.

"Fellow Daoist, welcome to the Guanghan Heaven! Wow, you've actually opened a Celestial Aperture! That's truly remarkable!" The fairy with a face as beautiful as a fish sinking and a goose falling from the sky looked at the ordinary-looking ascended cultivator several times with surprise.
