Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

Chapter 132 Ascension Ceremony

Lanzhou, Yue State, Guanggui City.

In a magnificent mansion in the eastern part of the city, He Nian was lying on a recliner, eating fruit prepared by a maid while flipping through a book in his hand with the words "Crimson Fire Technique" written on the cover.

He Nian obtained the Crimson Fire Technique after arriving in Guanggui City and killing some Qi Refining cultivators who intended to harm him.

He also collected several similar basic Qi cultivation techniques, such as "Changchun Gong" and "Jinglang Jue".

He also tried to cultivate them, but although he could cultivate these techniques, they didn't seem to suit his situation.

He Nian's spiritual root aptitude is somewhat special and cannot be defined solely by the five elements spiritual roots and unusual spiritual roots in the mortal world.

After sharing the various powers of He Nian from other worlds in the Black Mist Space, he was able to try to absorb spiritual energy of almost all attributes.

Furthermore, the problem of extremely slow cultivation speed for cultivators with five or four spiritual roots, as seen in the mortal world, does not exist.

He Nian speculated that the various attribute powers he shared should have been transformed into a special composite spirit in the mortal world.

The exact results still need further testing by the cultivation sects, and He Nian cannot be completely certain at the moment.

The only certainty is that lightning-related elements make up a large proportion of it.

Pikachu is making its move again.

"It's a pity that those rogue cultivators don't have any lightning-based Qi cultivation techniques."

Thinking of this, He Nian couldn't help but sigh.

Actually, he didn't have such a strong need for cultivation techniques.

In his original idea, the cultivation realm in the mortal world should have improved automatically to match his powerful strength, and he wouldn't need to deliberately cultivate it.

He only needs to focus his attention on those special secret techniques and supernatural powers.

Then He Nian realized he was wrong.

The mortal world is very different from the other worlds in the Black Mist Space.

That is a very clear division of strength levels.

In previous anime worlds, although there were distinctions such as Jonin and Genin in Naruto, the restrictions between them were not significant, and such divisions were even artificially created.

This is vastly different from the mortal world, where the division of realms and worldviews are highly intertwined.

In short, since He Nian only has an incomplete Qi Refining stage cultivation technique, his cultivation level is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The upper limit of one's strength is also greatly restricted by the laws of the world.

In other worlds, he could easily shatter mountains, but in the mortal world, at only the Qi Refining stage, he could at most level the neighborhood where his current residence is located.

Fortunately, although he couldn't unleash his full combat power, he could still exchange a few blows with a Core Formation cultivator.

What's more troublesome is that the special abilities he shares from other worlds need to be packaged with techniques, spells, and supernatural powers in order to be used smoothly in the mortal world.

Now, he's more like an ordinary person with severely excessive physical abilities.

Faced with the spells and magical artifacts of cultivators, it is difficult to find other effective countermeasures for the time being.

If he's really pushed to the limit, he might forcefully use his own power regardless of any world laws that restrict it, and he could even defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator, but the consequences wouldn't be good.

They might even attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao in the mortal world.

It should be understood that even the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Realm, who is at the highest level in the mortal world, can only hide and avoid the Heavenly Dao; he is completely powerless to resist it.

It was precisely for this reason that He Nian gave up the idea of ​​directly infiltrating a cultivation sect and seizing resources to cultivate immortality.

Firstly, he had just been ambushed by the Time Dao Ancestor, and secondly, the unfortunate experience of the pirate He Nian being targeted by the World Will was still fresh in his mind.

He really didn't want to end up being struck by lightning wherever he went after messing around.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to come to Tainan Valley to participate in the nearby Ascension Conference, thereby joining one of the seven major immortal cultivation sects of Yue Kingdom.

With a legitimate identity as a cultivator from a prestigious sect, coupled with his exceptional talent, becoming a core disciple of a sect would be no problem at all.

There's no need to make things harder for yourself just for a moment of pleasure.

After that, he could finally relax and cultivate immortality.

Judging from his current maximum strength, he wouldn't even need to form his core; once he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, he could easily defeat Nascent Soul cultivators.

In the human realm, Nascent Soul cultivators don't easily make a move, so he would basically be invincible at that time.

"Next, we just have to wait for the Ascension Ceremony to be held."

He Nian covered his face with the "Crimson Fire Technique" manual and closed his eyes contentedly.

At this point, about half a year had passed since Mo Juren's death. According to the original plot, the Tainan Small Conference would be held in about a year and a half.

Correspondingly, the Ascension Ceremony took place shortly after the Tai Nan Small Meeting.

He Nian had been living in Guanggui City for several months. Although he had occasionally encountered a few rogue cultivators at the Qi Refining stage, these rogue cultivators didn't have anything of value, and their strength was mostly limited to the first or second level of Qi Refining.

The only valuable thing is a rudimentary introductory book on talismans.

In his spare time, he could only draw talismans and fish.

To legally transform all his special abilities into immortal cultivation techniques, he needs to collect more books on magic and various cultivation arts.

In this way, even if I create my own secret techniques in the future, I will have more confidence.

Time flies.

A year and a half passed in the blink of an eye, and the Tainan Small Conference was held as scheduled. The number of independent cultivators near Guanggui City began to increase.

He Nian successfully infiltrated the group, pretended to fish and killed a group of unscrupulous rogue cultivators, and obtained extremely rich spirit stones and various spells and cultivation books.

He also bought a complete Qi Refining stage cultivation manual based on the Thunder element at a small gathering in Tainan.

He encountered Han Li again at the small meeting, but this time, perhaps because a long time had passed, the Dao Ancestor did not make a sound at all.

It seems that the black mist space has already helped him completely integrate into the mortal world.

As long as he doesn't recklessly reveal his abnormal power, there shouldn't be any problems in the future.

The Tainan Small Gathering concluded successfully, and thanks to He Nian's efforts to eliminate many unscrupulous rogue cultivators, the security situation around the gathering area improved considerably, and Han Li was not robbed.

Some time later, the Ascension Ceremony was successfully held.

He Nian also took advantage of this free time to change his cultivation method from the "Crimson Fire Technique" to the one he bought at the Tai Nan Small Gathering.

The True Secrets of Cloud and Thunder.

Correspondingly, his strength also reached the peak of the Qi Refining stage.

The Ascension Ceremony is a disciple recruitment ceremony jointly organized by the seven major immortal cultivation sects of the Yue Kingdom.

However, its actual purpose was to distribute the Foundation Establishment Pills refined by the seven major sects to the victorious rogue cultivators through a martial arts tournament.

This would reduce the number of independent cultivators and ease the conflict between them and the sects.

Of course, only those rogue cultivators who emerge victorious from these arena battles can obtain [certain benefits] after being recruited as disciples by the seven major sects.

To the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He Nian came here not to participate in the arena battles to compete for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The seven major sects recruit disciples, and apart from the winners of the arena battles, anyone with a spiritual root aptitude of dual spiritual roots or above can enter.

He Nian is very confident in his own qualifications.

The Ascension Ceremony: Seven Sects' Spiritual Root Aptitude Testing Platform.

"Next, He Nian."

Upon hearing her name called, He Nian easily leaped onto the testing platform and stood within the testing array.
