Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 384 After Ascension
Walking on the valleys and hills, my shadow disappeared like an arrow.

Xu Yuanchang no longer suppressed the aura in his body. He was in harmony with heaven and earth and allowed his magic power and momentum to surge upward. After practicing for more than three hundred years, the people and events he had experienced flashed back in his mind like images.

The distant memories reminded him of many old friends with whom he had no connection.

An Ciyu, who is as gentle as orchid and likes to read by the window, and Song Shuqian, Nan Baolin and others who have walked the hard journey with her.

He flipped through the fleeting bits and pieces like a bystander with a nonchalant attitude, a smile brewing in his eyes. Be it bitter or happy, we are all just passers-by in this world. Only now did he understand the true meaning of "take it easy when you gain it and take it easy when you lose it."

Come with joy and leave without worries.

Zeng Shanlang and Meng Yiyi, who followed closely behind him, had solemn expressions, full of reluctance and a hint of worry.

In the ancient books they had read, there was a warning that "thunder calamity is difficult to overcome, and fortune and disaster are unpredictable." Two thousand years before the gate to the Dark Realm was opened, there was almost no record of anyone in the Thousand Fang Realm successfully overcoming the calamity and ascending to the upper realm.

The two men were monks of the fifth floor, and they used their magic power to carry Old Yellow Dog, Dong Xing and Xu Yaoling flying.

Everyone was left further and further behind by the master who was in ecstasy.

Meng Yiyi sent a message, "Husband, I want to send a message to my aunt and master, telling them to go to the desert to watch the ceremony. Master Xu won't blame me, right?"

Zeng Shanlang tried his best to fly, staring at the almost invisible figure in the dark night, and replied through voice transmission: "Master doesn't want to mobilize a large number of troops. He has a free and easy personality and won't care about these things. Just send the message. As for the others, there is no need to alarm them."

When the ancestor was going through the tribulation, he was unable to make it in time, and it has always been a regret for him.

Thinking of this, he quickly sent a message to Meng Shanhe.

He sent a message to urge the eldest senior brother to hurry up, but due to the delay, the master was lost in dozens of miles ahead.

When everyone followed the movement of the restless power of heaven and found the desert five hundred miles deep, the sky was already covered with dark clouds, and strong winds blew yellow sand all over the sky. Lightning flashed between the clouds like silver snakes swimming, and the dull thunder seemed to crush everyone's hearts.

Meng Shanhe and Yu Fengwu arrived almost at the same time. They made a gesture and flew to the east and west of the tribulation area respectively. They had to be on guard against the monks who were alarmed and rushed over, in case someone was trying to cause trouble.

The distance between the people and the place where the tribulation was to be overcome ranged from fifty to a hundred miles.

The old yellow dog was suppressed by the power of heaven and stood on a high sand dune a hundred miles away, motionless like a silhouette statue.

Xu Yuanchang has completely released his aura, with colorful mist appearing around him and surrounding a phantom armor. In his right hand, he casually holds a magic staff less than three feet long. The staff is inlaid with four lightning stones and two wooden stones, the Life Wood Stone and the Guiding Divine Wood. These are the treasures he carefully prepared for overcoming the tribulation.

He was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by calamity clouds and pointed at by lightning, his mind was calmer than ever before.

You have the leisure to observe and comprehend the power of heaven and earth, and compare it with the power of rules that the crow can easily use.

He suddenly realized that the might of heaven was a kind of force of rules, which could destroy everything, and seemed to contain a mysterious vitality... To live towards death, to be destroyed and then to be rebuilt, there was no contradiction between life and death.

This discovery made him somewhat excited, but it did not allow him to continue to comprehend it more deeply, as the time for the accumulation of thunder had come to an end, and the stagnant aura loosened briefly.

The lightning was extremely bright, like a sharp sword pointing at the floating figure below, illuminating the sky and earth in a pale white.

There was a sudden thunderclap, and a silver-white thunder ball suddenly broke through the air and smashed heavily on the head of the person undergoing the tribulation.

Xu Yuanchang raised his staff calmly, and four lightning bolts as thick as eggs gushed out, drawing a mysterious arc and merging into a rapidly circling lightning ball the size of a fist. It seemed to be pulled upward by suction and inevitably collided with the thunder.

"Bang", the light was dazzling and thunder was raining down from the sky.

He waved his staff, guiding the scattered lightning threads to pass through the protective phantom armor and gather on his body.

Thunder tribulation is a test from heaven. It can temper and improve the physique of the person undergoing the tribulation, strengthen the soul, and cleanse the whole body. Capable people undergoing the tribulation will make good use of it. This is also mentioned in the jade slip of experience in undergoing the tribulation left by Zeng Wanglou.

The lightning entered the body and was quickly dissipated under the surging magic power.

After personally experiencing the subtle pains of numbness, burning, and explosion, Xu Yuanchang was able to estimate the power of the heavenly thunder he was about to endure so that he could have a clear idea of ​​what was going on.

In order to advance to the fifth level, he had spent many years tempering his body using natural resources and treasures. In addition, he had been practicing martial arts for more than three hundred years, using his aura and magic power to nourish his body silently. Now his physical strength is almost close to that of a fifth-level physical cultivator.

It is not as good as physical cultivation, but more than enough compared to the same level of magic cultivation.

The second thunderbolt followed, and was alleviated and weakened by a silver wave of energy that turned into light and shadow by the wave of his left hand. Then it was detonated by the Dharma image that suddenly appeared behind him. The whole person was shrouded in the bright and flashing lightning, absorbing and refining the energy of the thunder.

The magic glass mirror he had refined was originally a seventh-level magic weapon, and it has not yet been restored to its full strength. However, by exerting the power of the sixth-level magical array of the magic mirror, it can still be used as an auxiliary to resist and reduce the attacks of heavenly thunder.

The third thunderbolt was blocked by the tortoise shell he threw out. The sixth-level incarnation puppet hid in the tortoise shell, and with the invisible body of soul, he tried his best to use his own magic and strength to dissolve the pure yang thunderbolt, which burned the creature and made it scream. He could get a lot of benefits from it afterwards.

In the blink of an eye, he used various methods to take on six thunderbolts without any harm to himself.

The seventh thunder became more and more powerful. He suddenly opened the space of the Magic Fairy Ring and led the thunder ball into the Altar of Creation.

With a loud bang, lightning exploded like mercury pouring on the ground and was quickly absorbed by the Altar of Creation.

At the beginning, he took the painful path, passed through the wallless city of Shanyang Kingdom, and entered the Shenyu Rock to comprehend the magical powers left by his predecessors, which attracted a phantom lightning attack. He subconsciously led it into the ring space, and it finally hit Lao Li on the head. Later, he heard Lao Li complain about it once.

Xu Yuanchang noticed that the phantom jade skull that had been thrown in the corner of the Creation Altar for more than a hundred years had a strange fluctuation, which soon disappeared in the jumping lightning.

He was considering sending the eighth lightning ball to hit the skeleton that had revealed its true identity, in order to force out the remaining soul of Jade Bone Immortal who refused to show up.

Two thunderclaps suddenly exploded in the air, and two bolts of lightning rolled down, leaving him no time to buffer or resist.

It was so terrible that he couldn't dodge. He just had time to swing the staff in his right hand to slow down the attack speed of the last big thunder ball. The thunder hit his head and his whole body burst into colorful light.

Countless swirling halos followed his thoughts and transformed into a rapidly rotating net-like shape, one circle within another.

He was hit with such great force that he fell nearly fifty feet.

Take the opportunity to distance yourself from the last mine and buy some breathing space.

There was a roll of red and dark green flames on its body. The Yin-Yang Phantom Fire Spirit snatched half of the power of the thunder and fled quickly, shrinking back into the space. In a flash, "boom", the lightning exploded brightly above its head again, dispelling the darkness for dozens of miles.

Xu Yuanchang was so confused that he almost cursed. He finally understood why Mr. Zeng was so seriously injured despite his powerful strength and magic weapons.

God is jealous of talented people. Some disasters cannot be avoided.

The thunder from heaven can also act rogue and use two thunders together to kill someone, calling it a test.

Fortunately, he has many tricks and they are very powerful, otherwise I would have been seriously injured if I didn't die. He is so insidious.

Countless electric lightning flashes traveled throughout the body, penetrating into the body and violently colliding with magic power.

In just a dozen breaths, the air was filled with the burnt smell of barbecue.

Xu Yuanchang endured the severe pain. He circulated his magic power quickly over and over again, feeling the new changes in his body after the pain. His state of mind was also changing, and his soul was unusually active and powerful at this moment.

After all the hardships, he finally gained enlightenment. He even had the illusion that if he was given some time, he would be able to successfully break through to the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void.

The repulsive force of the lower world on him continued to increase, causing him to float into the air involuntarily.

Is this what is called "ascension"?
The might of the sky quickly disappeared, the dark clouds dispersed, and the strong wind gradually subsided.

Huge pits dozens of feet in size appeared on the sand dunes below, with mud and rocks exposed, which was a shocking sight.

Xu Yuanchang looked around and saw familiar figures. Meng Shanhe, Yu Fengwu, Mr. Kou, Yan Ruxing, Zhao Jun, Wen Yining, Shan Gui Wu Yao and others had all come. The desert was only more than 3,000 miles away from the mountains in Xiyuan. For masters of the fifth floor and above, it would not take long to get there.

He suppressed his movements and slowly ascended, took out a jade slip, and left behind some of his experiences in an instant.

He threw the jade slip to his second disciple Zeng Shanlang, and told him to hone his cultivation to the limit of the late sixth stage before coming out to overcome the tribulation. He was not in a position to reveal the little secrets of the way of heaven, otherwise it would cause unpredictable variables.

Zeng Shanlang took the jade slip, knelt on his knees with a plop, and bid farewell to his master who had successfully transcended the tribulation.

Dong Xing, Xu Yaoling and Meng all knelt down to see him off.

In the distance, the lonely old yellow dog was lying on the ground with tears rolling down his cheeks, making a whimpering sound.

Meng Shanhe and others watched a thrilling tribulation. Due to the obstruction of the might of heaven, they could not see the last two thunders clearly, but they could feel their extraordinary power, which warned them not to take it lightly and to be fully prepared.

Since ancient times, countless talented and brilliant monks have fallen from heavenly calamities.

"Congratulations on your ascension, and take care of your future!"

“Brother Xu promises!”

Everyone bowed and saw him off, and were very envious of Xu Yuanchang who had ascended to heaven smoothly.

In terms of training time, Xu Yuanchang is the youngest among those who are in the fifth and sixth floors.

In the distance, there was a yellow light as bright as a meteor, cutting through the night sky. Xu Shengtian hurried as fast as he could, not sparing any effort, and finally caught up with the farewell.

"Uncle San, I wish you to ascend to the upper realm, realize your ambitions, and become a local overlord. When I ascend to join you, I will be able to enjoy the blessings."

Xu Shengtian looked up at the figure flying into the sky and shouted while using his internal energy.

"Stinky boy, I'm waiting for you to come."

When Xu Yuanchang saw his nephew coming, he smiled and raised his hand. He no longer suppressed his ascension. He rose into the sky like a rainbow and quickly disappeared into the night sky, leaving behind a few colorful lights. After a while, it returned to silence.

"Shengtian has lofty ambitions. Please remember to support us when the time comes."

Meng Shanhe said jokingly.

Everyone laughed, and Meng Caiqin and Yu Fengwu helped the people who were kneeling on the ground up one by one.

……

The upper world, the Forgotten Forest.

Two moons hang high in the sky, and the roars of beasts echo faintly.

A striped beast was crawling on the hillside, staring at the pool of water twenty feet away through the gaps in the weeds and bushes. There, several green sheep with horns on their heads were drinking water vigilantly, and the leader sheep turned its ears from time to time to listen to the movements around it.

A streak of light suddenly appeared in the night sky and fell at an extremely fast speed.

The moment the striped beast pounced from the hillside, "boom", the stream of light fell squarely on it.

With a loud bang, the beasts rolled outward along with the mud, rocks and trees. The water in the pool rose ten feet high and swept several green sheep into the air and then smashed them to death on the trees and rocks. The area within thirty feet was in a mess.

Xu Yuanchang climbed out of the big pit full of mud and water with a dirty body and difficulty. On his way to ascension, he was unlucky enough to encounter the "void turbulence" recorded in ancient books. After going through many hardships, he escaped from the chaos and deviated from the ascension path that would have taken him to the upper realm.

He didn't know which realm of the upper realm the turbulence had taken him to.
It is said that the upper realm is vast, and he has no idea how it is divided specifically. The Taoist master Yanshan, who knows the inside story, has never talked about matters in heaven.

After Senior Xuan Xiao helped Zeng Wanglou ascend to the upper realm, he went to the Jinjia Sect in Guyuantai of Zhoushan Domain to become a disciple.

What he didn't expect was that this place was completely forbidden to use magic, unlike the pseudo-forbidden magic in the Infinite Mountains and the Tomb of Chaos Gods when he was in Dingzhou, which caused him to fall hard. Moreover, the gravity here made him feel uncomfortable and it was difficult for him to walk. He could not feel the existence of spiritual energy in the air, which almost made him doubt that he had gone through so much hardship to ascend to a false loneliness.

Without magic power and spiritual awareness, the phantom armor could not emerge, he could not even open the ring space, and could not contact the Yin-Yang phantom spirit.

The robe on his body was badly tattered, but fortunately he was physically strong and did not break any bones after falling from a great height. He only suffered some lung injuries.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he hadn't looked so miserable in years.

Xu Yuanchang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Since we are here, we should make the best of it. Let's first try to get familiar with it, and then think of a way to get out of the forbidden area."

He also understood that the so-called forbidden areas were mostly dangerous places.

It seemed as if his good luck in the underworld had run out as he encountered such bad luck one after another.

When he fell from the sky just now, he took a quick glance and found that there was a forest of unknown size below him.

Limping out of the mud puddle, Xu Yuanchang held onto a broken tree stump to rest, slowly adapting to the huge gravity of the unfamiliar place.

Even though he had lost his cultivation, his eyesight was far superior to that of ordinary people. He could see at night, and glance at the strange-looking green sheep with broken necks that looked like dead calves, and then find the giant striped cat that was half buried by broken wood and rocks at the foot of the mountain twenty feet away.

The wild animals in this strange place grow so huge.

He has to be careful not to capsize in the ditch.

Pulling out two throwing knives from his sleeves, Xu Yuanchang headed towards the direction of the breathless cat-like beast.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked into the dark forest. He seemed to hear the sound of a branch being broken by footsteps, and shouted, "Who?"

"Chiu chiu", two pitch-black arrows shot from the left, as powerful as thunder, breaking through the air with a piercing whistle.

Xu Yuanchang was startled and stepped back instinctively, his body swaying like a willow in the wind. His movements were not fast, but he managed to avoid death in time.

Seeing the sharp arrow shoot through a tree trunk as thick as a bucket shows how powerful the arrow was.

He continued to step back to the left and right, dodging several arrow attacks in succession.

He finally caught sight of two figures approaching quickly, and just as he was about to dodge, he flicked his wrist and two beams of cold light shot out.
