Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 234 Ascension Ceremony - Cultivators from the Immortal Realm
Gu Qing planned to use the final scripture, the "Qingwei Tianshi Qi Jing," to comprehend the great supernatural power of "Swallowing Heaven and Earth." Putting aside everything else, it would be useful for future cultivation and combat, making it an almost universally applicable top-tier supernatural power.

In particular, the curse on one's body can also be resolved using the Gluttony Technique.

After incorporating the Devouring Path and Thunder Path into the main cultivation technique, the magical power cultivated in the future will have more characteristics of devouring and thunder, not just the scorching heat of flames.

When using similar supernatural spells, their power naturally increases dramatically.

He has been studying the [Devouring Heaven and Earth] technique for almost a hundred years, and he only has a rough understanding of it. This is based on his excellent comprehension. Therefore, it is very worthwhile to use his last chance to improve the Gluttony Technique!
"bring it on."

The moment I closed my eyes and began to comprehend the last page of the bone script.

Gu Qing's aura surged dramatically, transforming him into a black hole that frantically devoured everything around him; even the floor tiles showed signs of loosening and merging into his body.

His black hair danced wildly, and the Devouring Dao Pattern between his brows erupted with an unprecedented jet-black divine light.

A lifelike phantom of a Taotie appeared behind him.

The principles of the Devouring Law are fully manifested.

This commotion surprised even the Ninth Ancestor. With a wave of his hand, a transparent light shield protected Gu Qing to prevent the commotion from being too great and causing unnecessary trouble.

"This kid actually used his last chance on the Gluttony Technique."

"That's true. Great supernatural powers are opportunities that cultivators dream of, and it doesn't seem to be a crippled technique."

After thinking for a moment, the Ninth Ancestor put down the jade belt ruler in his hand.

He sat cross-legged, his third eye opening between his brows to peer into the Devouring Law revealed by Gu Qingyan.

His hands kept changing shape, and gradually a large, dark handprint began to emerge. Clearly, he was also taking the opportunity to comprehend the profound principles of the Devouring Dao.

Given the cultivation and foundation of the Ninth Ancestor, it would not be surprising if he comprehended one or two supernatural techniques. This is the reason why people today are not necessarily inferior to those of the ancients.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside the Ancestral Hall, Gu Qing appeared outside the third protective barrier, bowed respectfully to those inside, and then flew away.

At this moment, the torture of being slowly sliced ​​to death on his body had been removed.

The [Devouring Heaven and Earth] Great Divine Power has successfully advanced to the Proficiency level, and has progressed very far in this realm, not far from achieving Mastery.

However, this level of skill is clearly beyond his capabilities; mastery is more than enough, and anything more would be excessive.

In addition, the manifested laws of the Devouring Dao gave him an additional minor supernatural power.

"Devouring the Dharma Wheel..."

With just a flick of the index finger, a dark halo appears, capable of absorbing the power of most spells, and even spells exceeding its limit will have their power significantly reduced.

It is very practical.

Since he personally grasped the knowledge, he immediately reached a level of mastery. With just a little understanding, he could achieve perfection, which was an unexpected bonus.

Furthermore, the Ninth Ancestor also gained something, passing on to him a supernatural technique called Devouring Seal!
Supernatural powers and techniques: minor supernatural powers, supernatural powers, and major supernatural powers.

Within the realm of supernatural powers, there is a distinction between ordinary supernatural powers and top-grade supernatural powers. The Devouring Seal is an ordinary supernatural power, representing only the initial comprehension of the Ninth Ancestor. Once he digests today's gains, he may be able to advance further.

Gu Qing will need to learn this skill gradually.

The trip to the Ancestral Hall was very fruitful. After returning to Huosang Mountain, Gu Qing immediately entered a state of seclusion, preparing to switch to cultivating the "Nine-Nine Mystic Art" to change the nature of his magical power.

In this way, he will have a better chance of success during the Ascension Ceremony. He is also looking forward to meeting other cultivators from other immortal sects. He is one of the top young geniuses in the Southern Wilderness, but he doesn't know what level he is in other regions.

"Retreat!"

…………

…………

This day.

Nine tolls of the mountain gate bell signaled the official commencement of the Ascension Ceremony, arranged by the Ritual Hall. The ceremony was held on the main peak, where the Array Hall used the [Two Elements Primordial Magnetic Array] to guide several spiritual mountains into the air.

Connected by iron chain walkways, the cranes and mythical beasts are incredibly lively. The water of the spiritual spring cascades down three thousand feet, soaking the rivers and lakes and nourishing the divine tree. This magnificent scene is rather flashy and is only a temporary arrangement. To put on a show requires spirit stones and spirit crystals.

Baiyue Mountain people are quite pragmatic in this regard, so they usually appear simple and unpretentious.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts leads a chariot drawn by enslaved dragons to welcome guests.

Many disciples and masters who had gone out returned to the mountain, drinking and making merry, drinking with friends, chatting and laughing, and enjoying themselves immensely!
Those rising floating immortal mountains are prepared for our disciples, and we have also set up platforms in the clouds to welcome distinguished guests from all directions, which are also seats prepared for them.

The interconnected celestial ladders converge in the middle, together forming an incomparably spacious platform, the place for debating and battling magic.

At the mountainside of the main peak, the disciples chanted names and performed rituals.

The entire Baiyue Mountain was bustling with activity. Gu Qing, along with the Guhuoniao and the little white bird she had picked up, was wandering around near the main peak.

"Has Xiaobai entered the Dao?"

"Not yet. Although she has good aptitude, it will take her several more years to break through to the eighth rank and officially enter the Dao."

The two chatted casually, and they saw quite a few acquaintances, such as Yue Ming, Li Qiufeng, and Chen Yin, who were all enjoying the festive atmosphere on the floating immortal mountain.

"After this celebration, you'll have to make a trip to the Demon Realm for me."

Ubume: "???"

She was unaware of Gu Qing's achievements among the demons, so she was naturally puzzled. Gu Qing didn't explain much, only saying that he had been there and would understand.

It's not appropriate to discuss this in detail outside.

How long will the Ascension Ceremony last?

"It could take anywhere from several months to a year, depending on what Senior Tiangong decides. He'll be out soon."

The two fell silent and said no more. As Gu Qing ascended to the summit of the main peak, a crimson pillar of light suddenly erupted from the location of the Ancestral Hall deep within the Scripture Pavilion on the back mountain, stirring up the wind and clouds and changing the celestial phenomena!
An enormous phantom of a furnace appeared in the sky.

This is a unique phenomenon of Lian Chutiangong's Great Dao, representing his path of furnace crafting, and further demonstrating his foundation as a senior sixth-grade weapon refiner.

Regardless of combat capabilities, they are definitely technically skilled personnel.

In any immortal sect, he would be a core figure. Then, a transparent lotus flower bloomed, and the power and special features of the mid-grade magic treasure [Purifying Soul Lotus] were extremely eye-catching.

Once the strange phenomenon disappeared, Lian Chutiangong appeared on the altar in the middle of the floating immortal mountain, bowing to the four directions.

"Welcome, fellow comrades, to my celebration."

The sound traveled for miles, and some prepared guests ascended to the clouds. Everyone returned the greetings on the high platform, and every time the names of the guests were called out, a figure would take a seat.

"The Yue Clan of Nanli presents a pair of sixth-grade exquisite jade pieces as a gift from the Eight-Armed True Lord!"

"A gift from Venerable Jinxi of the Xiantian Dao Academy: a sixth-grade money tree!"

"From Medicine King Valley, Elder Qinglu presents a gift: a Grade Six Precious Pill."

"The Yanxing Sect presents a gift from Jin Yanzi: a pair of sixth-grade goose wing bones!"

The first to offer gifts were all top-tier forces in the Southern Wilderness. The sixth-grade treasures they presented were, without being explicitly marked as being of low grade, so they were assumed to be of low grade.

Moreover, each of them was a sixth-rank ancestor-level figure. This move was not so much a gift to Lian Chutiangong, but rather a gift to Baiyue Mountain, acknowledging its leading position.

Behind this group are people from other immortal sects in neighboring regions, who are at the same level and status as the Baiyue Immortal Mountain. Their ascension ceremony is held every fifty to a hundred years.

Grand gatherings between immortal sects have been held by various sects.

The last celebration at Baiyue Mountain was probably almost a hundred years ago, before Gu Qing joined.

"In the Eastern Wilderness Region, at Thunder Marsh Immortal Mountain, Divine Firmament Thunder Lord and his personal disciples present a gift: a mid-grade sixth-rank Heavenly Firmament Thunder Fruit!"

"South China Sea, Purple Cloud Immortal Mountain..."

"Heavenly Desolate Domain, Flame Immortal Mountain..."
