Cut off my way home? You'll sacrifice the entire other world in return!

(Thank you all for coming to Xiaoqian's Cultivation World. Thank you for your support. By the way, there is no female lead. There is no female lead. Don't think that Ye Qingcheng is the female lead just because you see her. She will be killed off later if she loses her value.)

During Li Fan's time travel.

The Central Plains of the Xuanhuang Great World.

This is the center of the entire cultivation world, the place with the richest spiritual energy, and a sacred place for countless sects to worship.

The Taihua Mountains stretch for 90,000 li.

Today, we see the main peak of Mount Taihua, Tongtian Peak.

The sky, stretching for thousands of miles, was devoid of clouds, only an oppressive blackness.

Those are calamity clouds.

These were no ordinary tribulation clouds, but world-destroying tribulation clouds that covered the entire Central Continent, causing countless powerful cultivators to tremble in fear.

Today, the sacred land of Taihua is about to undertake a momentous event that will shake the world.

The teachings were elevated to a higher level.

Taihua Holy Land, with a profound and unfathomable heritage spanning 100,000 years.

Today, the Holy Land's master, the peerless Empress Ye Qingcheng, known as the number one person in Xuanhuang, will break through the void and lead the entire Taihua Holy Land's 100,000 disciples to ascend to the Upper Realm.

A fierce wind howled atop Tongtian Peak.

A woman in white stood with her hands behind her back.

She is beautiful.

This kind of beauty carries a cold and noble air of looking down on all living beings.

She is Ye Qingcheng.

He has cultivated Taoism for three thousand years and is invincible in this world.

Behind her were thirty-six powerful figures at the Tribulation Transcending stage from the Supreme Elder Council of the Taihua Holy Land.

Further on are the three thousand core disciples of the "Mahayana stage".

At the foot of the mountain are 100,000 disciples of Taihua.

Each of them was burning their spiritual power, gathering all their strength into the mountain-protecting formation.

"The time has come."

Ye Qingcheng raised her head and looked up at the sky above.

"Today, I, Ye Qingcheng, wish to open the gates of heaven."

"All disciples of Taihua shall fight alongside me."

"If we win, even our chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven and live forever in the immortal realm."

"Defeat means death and the extinction of one's spiritual essence, returning to the cycle of reincarnation."

Cultivating immortality is inherently defying the heavens; it's a high-stakes gamble.

"war!"

"war!"

"war!"

Rumble.

The Way of Heaven seems to have been angered.

A deep rumble of thunder came from deep within the clouds.

Immediately afterwards, the first bolt of lightning struck.

boom!

Lightning exploded.

Ye Qingcheng's white robes fluttered in the wind, and a faint ethereal light emanated from her body.

That was her protective aura.

The first lightning strike couldn't even shake the hem of her clothes.

"Too powerful..."

An elderly man with white hair and beard sighed from the crowd watching the ceremony from a distance.

He is the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect and one of the world's top experts.

"This Nine-Nine World-Destroying Lightning Tribulation, the very first strike possesses the power of a full-force attack from a peak Mahayana cultivator, yet the Empress withstood it head-on?"

"This is the confidence of the number one person in Xuanhuang."

A beautiful woman standing nearby looked on with awe.

"It seems that today, the Taihua Holy Land truly has a chance to break the curse that has prevented anyone from ascending for ten thousand years."

The tribulation lightning continued.

Each one was faster than the last.

Each one is more ruthless than the last.

Ye Qingcheng did not fight back during the first nine tribulations, relying entirely on her physical body to withstand them.

She was using lightning to temper her body.

She was adjusting her mindset to prepare for an even more terrifying blow to come.

The tenth one.

The twentieth question.

The thirtieth one.

The color of the thunder began to change.

It changed from its initial purple color to crimson.

Crimson Thunder.

Ye Qingcheng finally moved.

She stretched out one hand and gently clapped it against the sky.

"Disperse."

He uttered a single word.

The thunderbolts that filled the sky were suppressed by some kind of rule, and they actually disintegrated on their own in mid-air.

The disciples of the Taihua Holy Land were thrilled.

This is their empress!

This is their god!

As long as the Empress is around, there is no calamity that cannot be overcome!

time flies.

The tribulation of lightning has progressed to the sixtieth stage.

The space surrounding Tongtian Peak has been completely shattered and turned into chaotic nothingness.

Only the protective array of Taihua Holy Land, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Immortal Locking Array, was still radiating golden light, firmly fixing this world in place.

Ye Qingcheng's breathing became slightly more rapid.

There was a speck of dust on her white dress.

"Warm-up is over."

She murmured to herself.

boom!!!

The sixty-first lightning tribulation descended.

This time, it's not just a single thunderbolt.

Instead, it took on a form.

That's a Thunder Beast.

Thousands of ancient ferocious beasts formed from lightning roared as they charged down from the clouds.

Each one exuded a terrifying pressure comparable to that of a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

"Form ranks!"

Ye Qingcheng gave the order.

The thirty-six Supreme Elders behind him attacked simultaneously.

Thirty-six beams of light intertwined, forming a net of light that met the sky full of thunder beasts.

Boom boom boom boom boom!!!

The deafening explosion resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Optical network oscillation.

Several elders with slightly weaker cultivation turned pale and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of their mouths.

But they blocked it.

The Thunder Beast was shredded by the light net and transformed into pure spiritual energy, which was then fed back into the great formation.

This is the source of their confidence in achieving high positions.

They gathered the strength of 100,000 people to fight against the might of Heaven.

The seventieth.

The eightieth.

The battle reached its climax.

Tongtian Peak has been leveled by a hundred feet.

The light of the mountain-protecting formation also dimmed considerably.

Many of the 100,000 disciples with low cultivation levels had fainted, and some even had their heart meridians shattered by the backlash.

But no one backed down.

Everyone knew there was no turning back.

You either ascend to immortality or vanish into nothingness.

Ye Qingcheng now held a sword in her hand.

That is the Taihua Autumn Water Sword, the sacred artifact of the Taihua Holy Land.

The sword's blade is like autumn water, its cold light illuminating the entire land.

She swung her sword.

Each sword strike could sever a bolt of five-colored divine lightning falling from the sky.

at last.

The eighty-ninth lightning bolt struck.

Ye Qingcheng burned her primordial essence.

She became one with her sword and charged straight at it.

Ye Qingcheng fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto Tongtian Peak.

puff!

She coughed up a mouthful of blood.

A crack appeared on the immortal weapon sword in his hand.

"The Empress!"

"metropolitan!"

The elders of Taihua Holy Land exclaimed in surprise and tried to step forward to help him up.

"Don't move."

Ye Qingcheng leaned on her sword and stood up unsteadily.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked up at the sky.

The calamity clouds there were rapidly shrinking.

All the thunder and all the pressure were converging on the center.

This is the last one.

The 9981st tribulation of lightning.

It's also the legendary...

The cataclysmic inner demon tribulation.

However, the lightning tribulation did not strike directly.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the clouds above the sky.

A beam of golden light shone through the crack.

That is…

The aura of the celestial realm!

The light carried a Taoist charm that elevated one's soul.

Under this light, the shattered mountains and rivers began to heal, and withered trees began to bloom again.

The injured elders and disciples felt their injuries were rapidly improving.

Followed by.

A faint, ethereal melody drifted from the crack.

"That is...."

Ye Qingcheng's eyes widened.

She saw it.

Tianmen!

That's the legendary Heavenly Gate leading to the Immortal Realm!

"The Heavenly Gate has opened!"

"We did it!"

"The sacred land of Taihua, the entire religion ascends to heaven!"

Cheers erupted instantly.

The elders wept bitterly, and the disciples embraced each other and wept.

They did it.

They withstood eighty lightning tribulations, finally moving the heavens to open the gates to the celestial realm.

Even the cultivators watching from afar knelt down and bowed in worship in that direction.

This is an unprecedented event in the history of the Xuanhuang Great World.

Ye Qingcheng's hands were trembling.

As she gazed at the slowly opening Heavenly Gate, an indescribable surge of excitement welled up within her.

Three thousand years of arduous cultivation.

Countless times he teetered on the brink of life and death.

Is today finally the day to bring things to a perfect close?

"Disciples of Taihua, heed my command!"

Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath, her voice trembling with a hint of joy.

"To straighten one's clothes and appearance."

"Follow me...to ascend to the Heavenly Gate!"

She sheathed her sword and straightened her blood-stained robes.

She wanted to step into that world she had always dreamed of in the most perfect form.

The light of the mountain-protecting formation shone brightly once again.

That is the light of guidance.

The entire Tongtian Peak was trembling.

Everyone was immersed in the ecstasy of their impending ascension to immortality.

Nobody noticed.

The ominous clouds in the sky did not dissipate.

Instead, it became even darker.

No one noticed.

That so-called Heavenly Gate, though radiating golden light, conceals the world beyond...

That was a void turbulence.

Ye Qingcheng's body slowly rose into the air and flew towards the Heavenly Gate.

She was getting closer and closer to the Heavenly Gate.

The celestial music grew clearer and clearer.

But I don't know why.

A sense of unease suddenly rose in Ye Qingcheng's heart.

This celestial music…

Why does it sound a bit like... the sound of metal rubbing together?

and.

The golden light seemed to contain a trace of…

A purple electric arc?

That's the color of lightning tribulation.

"wrong!"

Ye Qingcheng stopped in her tracks.

Her extremely sharp senses are her greatest asset in surviving to this day.

She sensed it.

That's not the aura of the celestial realm.

It was an aura filled with brutal destruction and... endless killing intent.

That aura was even stronger than the sum of the eighty lightning tribulations from before!

"Stop!"

"All disciples! Stand back!"

Ye Qingcheng shouted sternly.

But this sound was drowned out by the increasingly loud celestial music.

The disciples were still flying towards the sky, their eyes fixed on the magnificent Heavenly Gate.

Just then.

A sudden change occurred.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

It wasn't thunder.

It sounded more like something smashing against glass.

The white jade gate in the sky suddenly trembled.

Followed by.

Countless cracks appeared on the surface of the door that should have led to paradise.

The golden light dimmed instantly.

Instead, thick black smoke billowed out.

"What...what is that?"

An elder pointed to the sky in alarm.

That's demonic energy.

The demonic energy was so dense it was almost tangible.

Everyone saw it clearly now.

The Heavenly Gate remained closed.

Tianmen was…

It crashed open!

Boom, boom, boom! ! !

A thunderous roar, like a thousand horses galloping, came from behind the door.

Followed by.

A colossal object was forced out of the broken Heavenly Gate.

The first one to be discovered.

It is a head.

Black scales, ferocious dragon horns, and eyes burning with purple flames.

It is a dragon.

But it is not an auspicious beast or a true dragon.

It was a demonic dragon crafted from an unknown black material!

"roar!!!"

The dragon let out a roar.

The roar shattered the physical bodies of hundreds of Taihua disciples who were near the Heavenly Gate.

The blood mist exploded.

The cheers abruptly stopped.

Fear spread instantly.

But this is just the beginning.

The second dragon head.

The third one.

…………

Nine black demonic dragons burst forth from the Heavenly Gate.

They all had thick black chains around their necks.

The other end of the chain was connected to an imperial carriage.

This is...

Li Fan's car.

Kowloon Agarwood Carriage - Nirvana Edition.

It's too big.

It was so large that it covered the entire sky above the Taihua Mountains as soon as it appeared.

The so-called towering heavenly gate was like a fragile toy in front of it, and was smashed to pieces by this chariot.

"What...what kind of monster is this...?"

"An extraterrestrial demon! This is an extraterrestrial demon!"

"Great formation! Activate the great formation with all your might!"

The sacred site of Taihua was in complete chaos.

The elders frantically channeled spiritual energy into the great formation in an attempt to resist this uninvited guest that had descended from the sky.

Ye Qingcheng's face was pale.

Her fingers, gripping the sword, had turned white from excessive force.

She sensed it.

Inside that terrifying imperial chariot sat an even more terrifying being.

That being hasn't even shown itself yet.

The mere wisp of aura emanating from her made even the foremost Xuanhuang expert feel suffocated.

That is...

A power that transcends this world.

"Brake! Brake! I think I hit something."

A lazy voice suddenly came from the imperial carriage.

The sound wasn't loud.

But it drowned out the thunder and the gasps of the crowd.

It resounded clearly in everyone's ears.

Squeak!!

The nine demonic dragons roared to the sky at the same time, their bodies tracing black lines in the air as they tried to stop their momentum.

The wheels of the imperial carriage stopped turning.

It pressed down fiercely on the protective array of the Taihua Holy Land.

"Stop it!!!"

Ye Qingcheng roared and burned her essence blood again, turning it into a pillar of light that reached the top.

The thirty-six Supreme Elders also risked their lives.

One hundred thousand disciples simultaneously coughed up blood.

That's the power of the entire sect.

However, quantity is meaningless in the face of absolute strength.

boom!!!!!!

The bottom of the Nine Dragon Imperial Chariot collided with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Immortal Locking Formation.

There was no stalemate.

There was no confrontation.

Click.

That peerless formation that has protected the sacred land of Taihua for 100,000 years is said to be unbreakable by anyone but an immortal.

It shattered in that instant.

Ye Qingcheng was thrown back by the force of the impact and crashed heavily into the mountain wall.

Half of the thirty-six Supreme Elders died instantly from their bodies exploding.

As for those 100,000 disciples…..…

Except for a few with profound cultivation, most of them were stunned and their fates were unknown.

Originally, it was an ascension ceremony.

In an instant.

It turned into a living hell.

The imperial carriage finally came to a stop.

It hovered above the ruins of Tongtian Peak, with nine demonic dragons coiling around it, spewing black dragon breath.

The whole world fell silent.

Only the door on the imperial carriage slowly opened.

Squeak.

The door opened.

One foot stepped out.

Followed by.

A person walked out.

He was wearing a black and gold robe, but the robe looked strange; it didn't look like silk but rather like some kind of liquid metal flowing.

His hair was black and danced wildly in the wind.

His eyes were one black and one white.

Like the yin and yang fish of Tai Chi slowly rotating.

What's most striking is what's behind him.

A disc was suspended there.

It is a black and white interwoven Tai Chi wheel that rotates slowly (Li Fan thought the original chicken wing was a bit ugly, so he changed the shape).

Li Fan stretched on the platform of the imperial carriage.

"Ugh... I didn't sleep very well."

Li Fan rubbed his neck.

He lowered his head.

He glanced at the chaotic ruins beneath his feet and the cultivators lying on the ground groaning in pain.

I glanced again at the hole in the sky that wasn't completely closed yet.

"This is...."

"A miniature cultivation world?"

He took a deep breath.

The air was filled with a rich spiritual energy, and... the smell of fresh blood.

"Hmm, the taste is alright."

"It smells a bit like... incense ash."

Li Fan pursed his lips and gave a not-so-high evaluation.

Then his gaze fell on the white-clad woman who had just crawled out of the rubble.

Ye Qingcheng.

At this moment, she was disheveled, her white clothes stained with blood, and she looked utterly wretched.

But she still gripped the broken immortal sword tightly, staring intently at Li Fan.

His eyes held fear, anger, and confusion.

"Who are you?"

Ye Qingcheng's voice was hoarse.

"Why...why destroy my sacred land...and sever my path to immortality...?"

Li Fan looked at her.

It's like an elephant watching an ant waving its claws at it.

He did not answer.

He simply raised his finger and pointed to the huge hole in the sky that he had crashed into.

"Which door are you referring to?"

"That thing is blocking the way."

"I was just passing by."

"Who knew this door was so flimsy and broke with just one impact?"

Done.

Li Fan turned around and waved to the nine demonic dragons.

"Since we're here, let's not waste the time."

"My little ones."

"Dinner is ready."
