The story concludes here, and all mysteries are unraveled at this moment.
Why there exists such an immortal cave abode in the outer realm, and why the whereabouts of its owner remain unknown.
Why does this particular immortal cave abode harbor so many opportunities amidst peril, yet there is always a glimmer of hope?
It turns out that this cave, a temporary shelter, was also the final resting place of an Earth Immortal.
Thus, it created these unbelievable phenomena.
The immortal journey of Immortal Eastern River comes to an end here, and at this moment, Jiang Chengxuan and others are filled with sighs and regrets.
Moreover, Immortal Eastern River died in an ambush and siege by his enemies, and until his last moments, he couldn’t even return to his homeland, which adds to the tragedy.
As half heirs of Immortal Eastern River, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan felt a rage igniting within them.
Yet, this fury was not apparent on the surface.
Because everyone present knew that to have schemed and killed an Earth Immortal of Immortal Eastern River’s caliber,
it must have been done by an existence equally or more terrifying.
At this moment, to such beings, Jiang Chengxuan and the others are no different from ants,
and if these beings sensed any causality, annihilating them would be as simple as lifting a hand.
“Alas, I didn’t expect that the world in the Immortal Realm isn’t all glory; rather, it’s even more brutal,” Qin Shenwu said with a heavy tone.
The secrets involved tie back to powers beyond the Floodgate Realm, within the terrifying existences of the thirty-six immortal domains.
The characters touched upon are great powers like True Immortals and Earth Immortals.
After a wave of regrets, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan felt an unparalleled longing and awe.
In this much broader stage ahead, there will surely be a place for them in the future.
What kind of fate and confrontations await them then?
Although the two of them are only at the realm of Dao Mastery, not even reaching the state of Daolords, their vision has already expanded into the realm of immortals, looking beyond the achievements of Mahayana.
This is the effect of the legacy of Immortal Eastern River. The information contained in these scriptures and jade slips is more precious than any fortune.
As the mysterious fluorescent light gradually subsided, the autobiography of Immortal Eastern River came to an end.
Jiang Chengxuan and the others stood still, reminiscing for a moment, before finally calming their minds completely and storing away the jade slip.
The life of Immortal Eastern River was too spectacular, stirring everyone deeply.
Then, based on the records in the autobiography of Immortal Eastern River, Jiang Chengxuan started searching again in his storage ring.
According to the records, there should still be some treasures in the storage ring.
Among them, there was one extremely precious item that Jiang Chengxuan wanted to find immediately.
After searching in the storage ring for a while, his face couldn’t help but show joy,
as a soft light bloomed, and a pure white, crystal-clear gem appeared in the palm of Jiang Chengxuan.
This gem, round and diamond-shaped, completely translucent and crystalline, radiated a power of the immortal realm.
Just by looking at it, one could tell it was no ordinary item.
Holding the gem in his hand, Jiang Chengxuan felt a predestined connection, as if an invisible thread linked him to someplace.
“This is…”
Feeling the power of the item, Qin Shenwu’s eyes suddenly sparkled, murmuring.
“The Ascension Stone!”
Jiang Chengxuan replied excitedly.
Unexpectedly, this search actually led him to find this item.
The Ascension Stone, as recorded in the jade scroll of Immortal Eastern River, is a divine object of the immortal realm.
Its purpose is singular: it allows cultivators to ascend safely to the immortal realm!
Jiang Chengxuan once again opened the jade scroll of Immortal Eastern River to read only about the Ascension Stone.
According to the description by Immortal Eastern River, ever since the great calamities kept descending, the pathways of the thirty-six immortal domains have been constantly changing.
After a particular great calamity, the pathways between the thirty-six immortal domains underwent an irreversible change, causing interference and entanglement between them, leading to complete chaos.
Since then, for the lower realm cultivators to ascend through the normal channel, by summoning the ascension light to cross the immortal path and reach the immortal realm, has become extremely difficult, with only one in ten succeeding.
Attempting to force an ascension through this method most likely results in being swept into chaotic spatial currents during the journey to the immortal realms, thereby becoming lost in the vast chaos of the universe, never reaching the true immortal realm.
Such circumstances undoubtedly dealt a massive blow to the various immortal sects.
As no one from the lower realms could ascend, they naturally lacked new recruits and suffered developmental setbacks.
Therefore, to address this situation, many powerful beings from the immortal realm joined forces,
using supreme immortal power and the rules of immortal dao to create the existence of the Ascension Stone.
With the Ascension Stone, as long as a cultivator reaches the state of Great Achievement, even at the initial phase,
they can use the special connection between the Ascension Stone and the immortal realm to ascend directly!
Moreover, this method of ascension is incredibly safe, representing a significant advancement over previous methods.
However, everything has its imperfections, and the Ascension Stone has one drawback.
After ascension, it’s unknown which part of the domains the cultivator will arrive in.
But under the united conditions of the domains, this isn’t considered a problem, as whichever domain the cultivator lands in, they will be taken in, making the process random yet fair.
However, for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who wish to ascend together, this poses a bit of a challenge.
But upon further consideration, the domains are not isolated; once the ascended cultivators stabilize their footing in their new domains,
They can use the portal to travel freely between realms and find each other.
Thinking this through, this challenge also seems to dissolve on its own.
Yet, there is another matter to consider: cultivators using the Ascension Stone to ascend to the immortal realms are best advised to reach the peak of Mahayan before doing so.
Because after ascension, the rules of the immortal realm autonomously transform the body of the cultivator who has achieved the peak of Mahayana, incorporating immortal spiritual energy into their body.
This means that cultivators who ascend forcefully must directly undergo the transformation into an immortal body.
The difficulty of this process is, understandably, immense.
Even for those at the peak of Mahayana, achieving transformation into an immortal requires tremendous effort and faces great peril, let alone for those who have not fully reached the peak.
It almost amounts to seeking death to ascend while not fully achieving the peak.
