Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 231 Mirage
Jiang Jian rode the dragon-bird and flew through the sky.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the border of the sea, outside the Dragon Palace.

Unlike the usual tranquility.

At this moment, the jade steps of the Dragon Palace are bustling with activity, and many living beings are standing there.

From all directions, many more streaks of light continued to converge on this place.

Jiang put away the official seal and fell downwards.

The phantom of the black phoenix vanished.

Jiang Jian, dressed in a moon-white robe, his figure intertwined with black light, took a step and landed below the jade steps.

Beside him.

A monster stretched its neck and looked up.

Suddenly, it sensed something, caught a glimpse of Jiang Jian out of the corner of its eye, and couldn't help but shudder in fright.

"You appear and disappear unpredictably, don't scare people here!"

The monster snapped out of its daze, wiped its sweat, and said, "I was startled; I thought the mirage demon had arrived."

Jiang Jian raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is a mirage ghost?"

The monster retorted, "Are you truly unaware, or are you feigning ignorance?"

"The Mirage Demon is a spirit from the Divine Palace Realm that has only recently appeared in the world."

"Some time ago, a holy chosen one from the Dragon Palace was captured and eaten by the Mirage Demon."

"The temple has sent people to investigate."

It raised its paw and pointed to the top of the jade steps.

Jiang looked up.

On the jade steps of the Dragon Palace.

Sure enough, there were beings at the Divine Palace Realm, their expressions solemn, setting up an array.

This person possesses a powerful aura, completely different from those of native Divine Palace Realm cultivators.

With just one glance, Jiang Jian was already certain.

This person comes from the Holy Mountain and is a teacher at the Earth-Moon Academy.

"In this academic world, someone actually dares to lay a hand on the Chosen One."

Jiang felt a chill run down his spine and became unusually wary.

Although similar messages had already appeared on the official seal of the Commander-in-Chief.

However, upon leaving the Dragon Palace, the chosen one in charge of the seal was killed.

Jiang Jian sensed the impending danger.

The Holy Temple Chosen were originally high above, an existence that was absolutely inviolable.

But now.

Boundary walls are being squeezed, and the world's gateways are being closed.

The Earth-Moon Academy world has become a closed, isolated city.

In less than a month, some creatures have begun to challenge the majesty of the temple.

Among the native creatures, there are also those with profound cultivation.

They knew the truth of the world and watched the sacred mountain day and night.

Some time ago.

The sacred mountain underwent a dramatic change, the world's gateways closed, and the vortex of time and space dissipated.

They witnessed all of this. After observing for a period of time, and seeing the sacred mountain, they realized they were powerless to reopen the gates.

Many native creatures gradually developed different intentions.

They discovered it long ago.

While the world gateway exists, the creatures of the "Holy Mountain" will be replenished at any time.

Among them were some who were terrifyingly powerful at the Divine Palace Realm.

But now, the gates have closed and the vortex has dissipated.

The remaining Temple creatures are extremely few in number!

Many native creatures began to stir.

Even more powerful beings, those at the Divine Palace Realm, brazenly attacked and deliberately crushed the "Chosen Ones" to observe the Temple's reaction!
They knew that the gatekeeper, Shen Xi, was extremely formidable, with combat power far exceeding that of ordinary Divine Palace Realm cultivators.

But they know it better.

Shen Xi is all alone.

But the native creatures combined constitute an entire world!

"Didn't we already say that the Dragon Palace is temporarily closed? How come there are still Holy Chosen ones coming?"

Above the jade steps, the Divine Palace Realm cultivator noticed Jiang Jian and frowned.

This person is a teacher at the Earth-Moon Academy.

In fact, his strength is not as great as Shen Xi's.

However, it is still much stronger than the native Divine Palace Realm.

His gaze fell upon Jiang Jian, and the aura of the Divine Palace Realm unconsciously emanated from him.

Overwhelmed by its imposing presence, the creatures nearby dared not linger and scattered in all directions.

Jiang Jian was left standing alone below.

next moment.

Jiang Jian walked up the jade steps, stopped in front of him, and said, "Teacher."

The academy teacher looked gloomy, his hands moving non-stop as he set up the formation, saying, "The Dragon Palace is closed; they're capturing the Mirage Demon. Go find somewhere to stay and don't cause trouble here."

Jiang Jian paused for a moment, then said, "I have some spiritual resources inside, which I need to retrieve."

Time is tight.

Cultivation resources cannot be wasted.

Jiang Jian is the Commander of the Demon Slaying Division in Zhenhai Prefecture. Although he has plenty of spiritual energy, he is very lacking in cultivation resources.

Autumn waters contain spiritual essence, the sea-suppressing pearl, and the water-spirit stone.

These spiritual resources are all essential for Jiang Jian's cultivation of spiritual essence.

There is simply no substitute available in the short term.

And Jiang saw here.

What we lack most is precisely time.

"Then go in."

The university teacher stepped aside and waved his hand.

The array of light intertwined, instantly revealing a portal.

"Once you go in, don't come out yet."
