“My fellow Daoists, if there are no unexpected events, my wife and I will officially initiate the ascension light in three months.
At that time, you and your descendants are welcome to come and witness the ceremony,” Jiang Chengxuan said to the still-present Heavenly Lords such as Xuan Yang and the others, inviting them with a smile.
Hearing his words, Xuan Yang and the others all nodded with smiles, saying, “Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fellow Daoist Shen, don’t worry. At that time, we will definitely be there to witness it.”
At this point, everyone present couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental.
After so many years, someone in their Nine Essences was finally about to ascend.
According to the current rules set by the Ascension Platform, cultivators can only initiate the Ascension Light on their own after reaching the late stage of Soul Formation.
Unless one possesses items like the Realm Resonance Stone, it’s impossible to trigger the Ascension Light before reaching the late stage of Soul Formation.
And each Ascension Light can accommodate no more than eight people.
By this time, Jiang Chengxuan had already given the Realm Resonance Stone to Xuan Yang and the others.
If their cultivation could not progress in the future, this stone would be their reliance, giving them still a chance to ascend.
They just need to protect the Nine Essences cultivation world for over a thousand years, providing sufficient growth time for those who come after.
On this day.
Jiang Anran, Jiang Renyi, Jiang Rendao, Jiang Yuncheng, and the other disciples of the Jiang family.
As well as cultivators from the Hidden Sword Palace, the Purple Sun Palace, Black Sea Pavilion, the Everlasting Palace, and so on.
They had all arrived at the Central Plain Ascension Platform in advance.
Everyone had a look of excitement on their faces.
Especially the disciples of the Jiang family, their eyes were filled with reluctance and nervousness.
Buzz!
Under such circumstances, two figures suddenly flew over from the distant sky.
It was Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
At this moment, they came to the Ascension Platform and turned to look at everyone present. They immediately cupped their fists at everyone and said, “The future of the Nine Essences cultivation world will rely on everyone to protect and develop together.
Today, the two of us will ascend, and we only wish to say one thing.
We look forward to reuniting with you in the higher realms.”
After saying this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan no longer hesitated.
The Dharmic powers of the two of them surged out at the same time.
A powerful aura instantly spread in all directions.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At the same time.
The Ascension Platform they were standing on seemed to sense the power emanating from them, lighting up with dazzling brilliance.
A vast and indescribable force descended upon them, gradually lifting their figures into the air.
This was the legendary Ascension Guiding Light!
“Seniors, congratulations on ascending!”
“Seniors, congratulations on ascending!”
Shouts sounded from the cultivators below the platform.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked down to see the figures below becoming smaller and smaller until they completely disappeared.
BOOM!
At the same time.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan both felt that their bodies were wrapped by a mysterious energy.
Then, this energy carried them through layers of space, ultimately seeming to break through a certain barrier membrane.
With a loud boom, they completely entered into a brand new world!
“Is this the Spiritual Realm?” At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan both clearly felt that the energy between heaven and earth seemed no longer to be of the same level as spiritual Qi, but rather, it was Primordial Spiritual Qi.
A level of energy that was even higher than spiritual Qi.
With just a slight absorption, they immediately experienced a crackling sound within their bodies, which actually began transforming their physique and Dharmic power towards a stronger level.
And this was just the beginning.
If they were to completely transform the Dharmic power derived from absorbing spiritual Qi into that derived from absorbing the Primordial Spiritual Qi, wouldn’t their Dharmic power and cultivation levels achieve an immediate breakthrough?”
This was very likely to happen and was no joke.
At this moment, both of them gained a clearer understanding of the Spiritual Realm.
No wonder all cultivators, in the end, aimed to ascend. The difference in the environment between the Spiritual Realm and the lower realms was too vast.
If the environment of the Spiritual Realm could be likened to a city, then the environment of the lower realm they were originally in would be akin to a remote and undeveloped countryside.
Moreover, it’s the kind that has not been developed at all.
In such an environment, even those with poor aptitude had the potential to cultivate to Golden Core.
That is to say, as long as you possess a spiritual root, your lowest possible achievement in cultivation, at the very least, would be reaching Golden Core. There wouldn’t be anything worse than that.
And reaching Golden Core, if placed in the lower realms, would be a true person capable of founding a sect or family.
This showed the enormous gap between the environments of the two realms. “What?”
Just as the Ascension Light gradually dissipated from their bodies, they suddenly heard a light exclamation near their ears.
Looking up, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan realized they were standing on a giant white jade platform.
Beside them stood a man in a white robe.
The man appeared to be in his thirties, with a somewhat scholarly air about him.
Of course.
These were not the most important aspects. The most crucial was the aura emanating from this person.
He was a Great Heavenly Lord at the ninth level of Soul Formation.
At this moment, the robed man was also observing Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Seeing them, a smile slowly appeared on his face, and he addressed them, “Fellow Daoists, I am Feng Yunhao of the Huangji Sect, currently the guardian cultivator of this Eastern Sky Ascension Platform.
May I know which lower realm you have come from? Do you have a main sect or family in the Celestial Floodgate Realm that you intend to join?”
“Oh? The Celestial Floodgate Realm?
I thought this was the Spiritual Realm?”
Hearing Feng Yunhao’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were both somewhat puzzled.
They really didn’t understand why the Spiritual Realm suddenly became something called the Celestial Floodgate Realm.
Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Feng Yunhao smiled and explained,
“It seems you two are not affiliated with any main sect or family in the Spiritual Realm, right?”
Before Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan could respond, Feng Yunhao continued,
“What is referred to as the Spiritual Realm is actually a general term.
It encompasses many realms, just like the Immortal Realm contains many subsidiary realms.
Does that make sense to you two?”
