Chapter 537: Ascension Ceremony
After sending off the visiting Earth Abyss Ancestor, Li Shuidao quickly got the news that the Spirit Sword True Monarch was about to ascend.
This world, for the monks of the Celestial Realm, has always been a cage that cannot be accommodated. The power of the fourth-order pinnacle must be attracted by the higher level world after all.
"Cultivating to the extreme, even heaven and earth will reject you." Li Shuidao muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a trace of yearning and awe for the unknown.
According to the Spirit Sword True Monarch himself, if a cultivator cultivates to the peak of the fourth order, he will no longer be able to absorb a trace of spiritual energy from this world, and will eventually be able to perish in exhaustion.
Of course, there are many ways to resist this repulsive force, but what if you resist?
Cultivation cannot progress, but Shouyuan is consumed like a candle, and sooner or later the body will decay and fall down.
There is a great terror between life and death!
No one will watch themselves sit down, they will definitely fight to the death and soar to the upper realm.
Even if you don't know anything about the Upper Realm......
In addition, the vast majority of fourth-order peak cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm would choose to ascend in a low-key manner, without publicity or publicity.
After all, it is already a great honor for a family or sect to have a Phaseless True Monarch, and if this pillar is lost, the entire force will fall into emptiness.
The Spirit Sword True Monarch is different. She did not have the background of cultivating the immortal family, but relied on the sect of the Yunmang Sword Sect to reach today's peak step by step.
She has no family ties, and she has very little affection for the sect.
Therefore, she can tell the world that she is about to go to the unknown upper realm.
Although the ascension of the Spirit Sword True Monarch will bring great prestige to the Yun Mang Sword Sect, it will also bring unprecedented challenges and crises.
At least when Li Shuidao ascended, he would definitely not hold any ascension ceremony, and he must have left quietly like the old man that day.
……
Yun Mang Sword Sect.
Zixiao Fengfang City.
The market is bustling and full of fireworks in the world.
The ordinary monks sat around the teahouse, and between the collisions of cups, the voices came and went, all talking about the upcoming ascension ceremony of the Spirit Sword True Monarch. On their faces, there is not only admiration for Zhenjun, but also longing and expectation for the future.
"It is rumored that the Ascension Festival only opens once in hundreds of years, which is really rare!" A middle-aged monk said excitedly.
"yes, yes...... I don't know if we have the chance to watch the true monarch's ascension? ”
"Don't think about it, it is rumored that the people invited are all Wuxiang Zhenjun, not us, who can be delusional."
……
On the street, Li Shuidao, dressed in a green shirt, walked out of the wine shop, holding a pot of fine wine and tasting it alone.
Listening to the surrounding discussions, I didn't smile again.
He gently raised the wine jug, drank it all, and then flew by without touching the ground with his feet, and his body flew straight into the sky, flying straight towards Zixiao Peak. Only the people in the market stopped and watched, amazed.
On Zixiao Peak, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the fairy aura is pervasive. Li Shuidao came to the cave of the Spirit Sword True Monarch, and saw a young girl greet him. She was wearing a long white dress with a gently fluttering skirt, like a fairy descending to earth. There was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, like a spring breeze, which made people happy.
"Brother Shuidao, don't come unharmed?" Spirit Sword True Monarch lightly opened his lips, and his voice turned gracefully.
Li Shuidao smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "The true monarch is about to ascend, and Shuidao is here to congratulate." ”
"Thank you, Brother Mizumi." Spirit Sword True Monarch bowed slightly, and then led Li Shuidao into the cave.
The two walked into the cave one after the other, the door of the cave slowly closed behind them, the light in the cave was soft, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance, which made people feel calm.
Suddenly.
Li Shuidao gently hugged the Spirit Sword True Monarch from behind, and his hands fell on her waist. His embrace was warm and firm, like a solid mountain, giving her endless support and security.
Spirit Sword True Monarch's body trembled slightly in Li Shuidao's embrace, her heartbeat was as fast as a deer's collision, and her face flushed. She felt the breath of Li Shuidao blowing gently in her ears, with a faint aroma of wine, which made her involuntarily intoxicated.
"You...... How so. There was a hint of anger in Spirit Sword True Monarch's voice, and she tried to break free from Li Shuidao's embrace, but her struggle seemed so powerless, as if she was only symbolically resisting. In her voice, it was difficult to hide the hint of joy, she knew that this was Li Shuidao's deep attachment to her.
Li Shuidao hugged her tightly, with a hint of sadness in his voice: "You are about to fly to the upper realm, and we are about to separate." ”
Spirit Sword True Monarch raised his head slightly, staring into Li Shuidao's eyes, with a gentle expression: "With your cultivation speed, I believe we will meet in the upper realm soon." ”
Hearing this, Li Shuidao frowned slightly, and said with a trace of doubt: "What is the upper realm like? Is it really as good as it is written in the book? ”
Spirit Sword True Monarch smiled and shook his head: "The records you have seen about the upper realm are all fake, and there is no record of this at all in the Immortal Cultivation Record. But the fate of the monks is either to ascend or to die. Since you are unwilling to face death, there is only one way to ascend. ”
Li Shuidao was silent for a moment, and then said with a solemn face: "After I ascend to the upper realm, my strength will reach at least the fifth order. If you are stronger, why can't you return to the Nether? Since you can return to the Nether, it doesn't make sense that there is no record! ”
Spirit Sword True Monarch thought for a moment: "It should still return to the Nether." Otherwise, how did the realm division of the fifth-order celestial phenomena, the sixth-order cave void, the seventh-order Wuji, the eighth-order mixed element, and the ninth-order Mahayana come about? ”
"There is no description of the relevant realm, only the name of the realm. Wouldn't it be speculation? Li Shuidao's voice became more and more solemn.
Spirit Sword True Monarch smiled and shook her head, with a hint of comfort in her voice: "Probably not." You can rest assured, the Upper Realm must have more abundant cultivation resources, stronger exercises, and a wider world. When we ascend to the upper realm, we will surely have better growth. ”
Li Shuidao took a deep breath, he stretched out his arm and hugged the Spirit Sword True Monarch tightly: "I hope so." No matter what, I will work hard to cultivate and fly to the upper realm to meet you as soon as possible. ”
Spirit Sword True Monarch raised her head lightly and stared into Li Shuidao's eyes, with a hint of tenderness in her voice: "I will also work hard to cultivate, and I will wait for you in the upper realm." We will definitely meet again. ”
The eyes of the two were tightly locked, as if they wanted to imprint each other's souls deeply in their hearts.
At this moment, Li Shuidao lowered his head and gently kissed the lips of the Spirit Sword True Monarch.
was kissed affectionately by Li Shuidao, and a trace of shyness and sweetness flashed in Spirit Sword Zhenjun's eyes. She gently closed her eyes, feeling Li Shuidao's gentleness and enthusiasm. At this moment, time seemed to stand still, only their heartbeats and breaths were intertwined.
Just as the two were indulging in each other's tenderness, the silence was broken by the sound of soft footsteps. A woman dressed in red walked in slowly, she was the apprentice of the Spirit Sword True Monarch, Xia Ruoxue.
Xia Ruoxue saw the scene of the master and Li Shuidao hugging and kissing, and her face showed a touch of surprise, but she quickly regained her composure and saluted the two respectfully.
"Master, master, Xue'er is here to serve you." Xia Ruoxue's voice carried a hint of tenderness and respect.
Spirit Sword True Monarch and Li Shuidao both wanted Xia Ruoxue to nod their heads to show their gratitude.
Xia Ruoxue smiled and walked to the bed and gently laid out the soft brocade quilt. She carefully made the bed and made sure that everything was to the liking of the master and Li Shuidao. Under her service, the whole room was filled with a warm atmosphere.
When the bed was made, Xia Ruoxue respectfully stepped aside and motioned for the master and Li Shuidao to go to bed and rest. Spirit Sword True Monarch looked at Li Shuidao, and a gentle light flashed in his eyes. She nodded softly, then walked over to the bed and sat down.
Li Shuidao followed, and he walked to the side of the Spirit Sword True Monarch and gently hugged her into his arms. Their eyes were locked tightly again, as if to imprint their love for each other deeply in their hearts.
In this way, they hugged each other and slept on the bed, while Xia Ruoxue waited quietly by the side.
……
Seven days later.
Yun Mang Sword Sect.
Zixiao Peak.
The sky is misty and the hall is full of wind and sunshine.
The sky took on a strange blue, as if even the sky was shaking.
The Yun Mang Sword Sect's prestigious Spirit Sword True Monarch, after hundreds of years of cultivation, finally ushered in the grand event of her ascension to immortal at this moment.
Lingjian Zhenjun is dressed in a palace dress as white as snow, its delicate embroidery is shining in the sun, her figure is like a blooming white lotus, elegant and refined, high at the top of the main hall, the whole body exudes a faint glow, and the fairy aura is awe-inspiring.
On both sides of the main hall, Li Shuidao and Yunjian Zhenjun were on both sides.
Li Shuidao, a purple shadow ghost, is dressed in green clothes, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a calm temperament; And Cloud Sword True Monarch was dressed in a blue robe, with a solemn demeanor and a cold face.
The Earth Abyss Ancestor, the Winged Snake Tianzun and other unphased true monarchs also arrived, they were dressed in different costumes, some were wearing black robes, some were wearing gold armor, some were holding magic weapons, and some were stepping on auspicious clouds, standing on both sides, with a powerful breath, which made people look sideways.
The auspicious time has not yet arrived, and the guests are pouring in.
Suddenly, the sky was pierced by a golden light, and a square-faced man fell from the sky like a meteor, he was wearing a golden robe with exquisite embroidery on it, and his body emitted a brilliant golden light, like a scorching sun, illuminating the entire sky.
"The city lord of Xiantu City, Wei Qiankun is here, I wish the Spirit Sword True Monarch a smooth ascension." Wei Qiankun's voice was like a flood bell and a big lu, echoing throughout the hall.
Li Shuidao was not angry when he saw Wei Qiankun, but showed a touch of joy.
It's so good to come!
Once the Ascension Ceremony is over, it can be resolved, saving you the hassle of searching for it later.
Visitors are guests!
Spirit Sword True Monarch looked at Wei Qiankun and smiled at him and nodded in gratitude.
Seeing this, Xia Ruoxue immediately stepped forward and guided Wei Qiankun to take a seat. Wei Qiankun sat down at the back of the hall.
As soon as he sat down, Wei Qiankun noticed Li Shuidao's gaze.
Li Shuidao's eyes were clear and bright, his face was full of smiles, and the smile came from the heart, without the slightest concealment, which was obviously a sincere joy.
Wei Qiankun was slightly stunned, and then returned with an equally polite smile.
The two smiled at each other and then withdrew their gazes.
Wei Qiankun had already recognized Li Shuidao, and his heart could be described as turbulent.
Decades ago, Li Shuidao and Tianma Yaotong defected to him.
At that time, he was only a second-order cultivator, but he really didn't expect that in just a few decades, this person's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the realm of a true monarch without a phase.
It's unbelievable!
And that guy smiled at himself so meaningfully, could it be that he still wanted to trouble himself?
Wei Qiankun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but regret that he had let Li Shuidao go easily.
……
Boom!
The melodious sound of the bell echoes under the sky, like the sound of heaven, touching the heartstrings of every monk. The auspicious time has arrived, and the much-anticipated ascension ceremony is about to kick off.
I saw the figure of the Spirit Sword True Monarch move, floating up like a breeze, with a graceful posture and a temperament like a fairy. She looked around, her eyes revealed gratitude, and she hugged her fists and greeted the Quartet, her voice was crisp and pleasant: "Today's ceremony, you have the love of all Taoist friends, and you will participate in the grand event, Sang Xue is grateful." Today, this palace will use the sword qi of the open sky to break through the barriers of the world and soar to the upper realm! ”
Between the words, a warm aura permeated, making the monks present feel respect.
At this time, the white-haired Earth Abyss Ancestor slowly spoke, his voice low and powerful: "I heard that there is a mysterious portal in the Arctic Sea, which is a shortcut to the upper realm. Zhenjun comprehended the Heaven Opening Sword Qi with the Yun Mang Sword Technique, and was able to break through the barriers of the world and fly directly to the upper realm, which was really an unprecedented feat. Dare to ask the True Monarch, is the upper realm that breaks through the world wall and enters the upper realm the same as the upper realm that soars through the gateway of the Arctic Sea? ”
Spirit Sword True Monarch smiled slightly, his expression revealing confidence and calmness: "Break through the barrier of the world and ascend to the upper realm." It's like a monk stepping out of the void and stepping into reality. Whether it is directly breaking through the world wall or ascending through the portal, what you finally arrive at is the vast and boundless fairy world. ”
The Earth Abyss Ancestor nodded yes, agreeing with the Spirit Sword True Monarch's insight. The other Phaseless True Monarchs also chimed in, expressing their admiration for the achievements of the Spirit Sword True Monarch.
Just when everyone was talking, a majestic announcement suddenly came from the sky: "Ziyang Gate, Ziyang Divine Monarch He Shiyong, come to congratulate!" As the voice fell, a purple light pierced the sky and flew quickly.
Seeing this, Li Shuidao's expression showed a little stunned and surprised: "It's actually him!" He's here too? ”
The light fell to the ground, revealing a middle-aged man in a purple robe, who was none other than He Shiyong, the Purple Sun Divine Monarch. His face is calm and his gaze is like a torch, giving people a sense of majesty and mystery.
He looked around, his gaze finally fell on the Spirit Sword True Monarch, and smiled slightly: "Spirit Sword True Monarch, congratulations on your ascension." Benjun is here to congratulate, and at the same time, I also hope that you can wait another thirty years before you take the leap. ”
Hearing this, the Spirit Sword True Monarch frowned slightly, and his face showed a puzzled look: "Ziyang Divine Monarch, why is this?" Ascension to the Upper Realm is what I have wanted all my life, so why should I wait another thirty years? During these thirty years, my cultivation will stagnate, and this will undoubtedly be a kind of torture for me. ”
Ziyang Shenjun's eyes froze, and his voice revealed undoubted majesty: "You don't have to ask more, just follow the arrangement of this monarch." You can use these 30 years to stabilize your foundation and improve your combat power. If you insist on refusing, then the old man will let you die today, and there will be no hope of ascending! ”
Facing the strong oppression of the Ziyang Divine Monarch, the Spirit Sword True Monarch took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "Ziyang Divine Monarch, you are too domineering. If you insist on stopping me, then please do it! ”
"Good!" Ziyang Shenjun showed a hint of hideousness on his face, and he was about to make a move.
Li Shuidao immediately stood up and said, "Wait! (End of chapter)
