Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 606 Which Ascended Person Will I Be?
"Please don't speak so ambiguously," Fu Mu suddenly said seriously.

But then she laughed after Xi Li looked at her in surprise.

"I'm off! I'll be there to see you ascend to heaven."

As soon as she finished speaking, she transformed into countless streaks of fire and disappeared. The quiet room, which had become warmer because of her arrival, became cold and desolate again.

Her every move was exactly as she had described after returning from her undercover mission.

"People should live a little more freely."

It's said that it wasn't like this a long time ago...

Xi Li looked at the long sword that had been sitting quietly in front of her for a long time, which finally turned into a beam of light and disappeared into her brow.

His entire being dissipated into wisps of chilling blue aura, vanishing into thin air from the quiet room.

If even a being in the Transformation stage can gather and disperse at will, then the Returning to Emptiness stage is even more so.

When they reappeared, they had already arrived at the highest point of the Cold Moon Sword Palace.

The azure chill gathered and took shape. Xi Li slowly walked to the edge, gazing at the vast sword palace she had created.

In fact, she never thought about establishing any kind of power or influence.

This is not what she is looking for.

However, during that internal strife among the human race, the sacred site of inheritance was destroyed.

She also had to establish a force to gather cultivators from all over the world who cultivated through the three lineages of Yin, Sword, and Killing.

Thus, the Cold Moon Sword Palace came into being.

It was precisely because of that incident.

This changed her attitude towards Xiyun.

At first, when she met someone who resembled her deceased brother but had a completely different personality, she felt as if two different people had been blended together.

That strong sense of incongruity made it really hard for her to feel any affection for him.

Although I didn't have a good impression of them, before that internal strife, they were comrades-in-arms fighting against the Beast God Clan, so I didn't feel any resentment towards them.

However, it was after that internal strife that it triggered.

As a representative of the human race's Yang-type Daoist practitioners, he actually publicly stated that he was willing to accept the surrender of the Beast God race to end the war?

This was completely unacceptable to Xi Li.

If it weren't for the intervention of outsiders, the human race would have been treated like livestock by the beast god race.

He actually believed such naive words about a life-or-death racial war.

In short, from then on, she only felt disgust towards Xiyun.

At the same time, he became even more convinced that the person had absolutely no relation to his brother, and that his own brother could not possibly have such a naive idea.

Xi Li gripped the railing, which was harder than divine iron and formed from extremely cold ice, her thoughts churning.

The chilling air was insidious, yet it couldn't harm the seemingly delicate skin in the slightest.

"Actually, he is indeed related to your brother."

A sudden sound came from behind.

"Who?!"

With years of experience in battle, she raised her hand and pointed a cold, dark blue sword aura behind her even before she finished speaking.

The void solidified inch by inch, and a fine layer of white frost spread out.

It leans towards restraint and cohesion rather than lethality.

But the chilling sword energy stopped abruptly halfway through its journey, dissipating before it could even last a moment.

Xi Li was stunned when she saw who it was.

A surge of intense emotions welled up within me, and countless words reached my lips, but ultimately coalesced into two somewhat hesitant words:

"senior……"

Memories hidden deep within the soul resurface.

That figure, who only existed in her memory but brought her hope, reappeared before her now, leaving her feeling utterly helpless.

After casually dissipating the sword energy, Xu Xing laughed:
"Since you have chosen to ascend, there are some things I should explain to you clearly."

Earth Immortal.

This is the first world at the beginning of the 'Ascension Plan', and the situation is different from other worlds. Including himself, a total of six True Immortals have come to this world, and later even Xuandu embodied himself and walked in this world.

In addition, the human race in the Immortal Realm has just ended a war that lasted for nearly two thousand years.

Therefore, at the very least, they should know what they will face after ascending.

"..."

Xi Li hesitated, wanting to say something but not knowing where to begin.

"Senior just said that Xi Yun is related to my brother?"

She ultimately chose to ask that first, but then felt a little awkward.

The seniors have already said that Xiyun and her brother are related. Is it inappropriate for me to ask this question?
"Back then, your brother carried the essence of the Dao of [Dawn] and achieved the Profound Realm, but he perished because of a single finger from the Beast God..."

Xu Xing explained the whole story.

This includes the fact that Huo created the independent entity 'Xi Yun' before leaving.

After hearing everything, Xi Li remained in a daze for a long time.

She instinctively didn't want to believe it, yet she understood that Xu Xing had no reason to lie to her.

After a long while, Xi Li pursed her lips:
"But he..."

“That matter can’t be blamed on him,” Xu Xing continued, “it was all because of his disciple ‘Shi’.”

始？
The founder of the Dao Shi lineage, hailed as the greatest genius of all time?
"Shi's true identity is actually an incarnation of one of my great enemies who broke away and infiltrated this world."

"Although the main purpose was to target me, the lingering influence of my great enemy is something that Xi Yun cannot resist."

Upon hearing this, Xi Li remained silent for a long while.

"Senior's greatest enemy..."

"It's better if you don't learn anything about Him."

Xi Li was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

“Sometimes, knowing too much isn’t a good thing,” Xu Xing explained.

Is it really not even allowed to understand...?
What kind of beings are the enemies of the human race in the Immortal Realm?
I pondered for a long time...

But then Xu Xing's voice came again: "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me now."

"Except for some things you can't understand, I can answer you."

"Once you have the answer, then you can decide whether or not you want to ascend."

What question do you want to ask?
Xi Li's mind raced, but this time she didn't hesitate and blurted out:

"Senior, what is your view on the current state of the Earthly Immortal Realm?"

Xu Xing's answer was also very straightforward:
"The process was a bit complicated, but that's not your fault. As for the final result, it's very good."

Whether it was the time the [Origin Anchor] was set up, or the time of the human race's internal strife, there was a mysterious influence involved.

Even if the Mysterious Ancestor of All Realms is just a casual pawn, it is not something that some insignificant fellows who have not even reached the Dao level can resist.

"Any other questions?"

"As for before ascension, there's nothing." Xi Li shook her head slightly. "But regarding what happens after ascension, I do have a question I'd like to ask you, senior."

"You said."

Xi Li asked with a serious expression, "If I were to ascend now, which ascendant would I be?"

A question that seems pointless.

But Xu Xing still replied, "If you hurry up, it will be the third one; if you're a little later, it will be the fourth one."

"what?"

This answer was somewhat unexpected for Xi Li.

"Someone chose to ascend before you, but his world is farther away, so it takes him longer."

Xi Li: "..."
