Chapter 189: The Time Limit Has Arrived, Ascend to Immortality Now!

"Three years of time have passed..."

When the morning light of this day pierced through the firmament, whether it was those who were sensing the Supreme Dao Principles of others, or those Quasi-Supremes who had long failed to step into the Supreme Realm, all of them opened their eyes in unison at this moment.

They gazed at the rosy clouds in the distance, and what their eyes could see was nothing more than a few expressions of unspeakable emotion.

For the many powerhouses of Canglan City, three years was truly too short—so short that if they had the chance, they would all be willing to remain forever immersed in such comprehension of Dao Principles.

"Is that one about to come out?"

Long Ao and several other Supremes also opened their eyes at this time; I do not know when, but Jiu Jiu and the others had actually appeared above Canglan City.

Or rather, it was precisely because Jiu Jiu, and even Gu Nianmo and the others, appeared above Canglan City that these supreme powerhouses dispelled the last shred of doubt in their hearts.

After all, since even the wife and children of the Heavenly Human Gu were on the battlefield, that Heavenly Human Gu could not possibly be so insane as to slaughter everyone in this Canglan City just to ascend to Immortality, right? "Ascending to Immortality..."

"Even if it does not succeed, being able to witness the spectacle of ascending to Immortality with one's own eyes is, at the very least, not having lived in this world in vain!"

Supreme Ziwu gazed at Wanglin Mountain, which was currently shrouded in rosy clouds, his eyes filled with unconcealable longing and envy.

For ancient Supremes like them, what they feared most was not the death of the body, but the dissipation of the Dao!

Regardless of the outcome of this battle, and regardless of whether Gu Jiangming, this Heavenly Human, could ascend to Immortality, in the view of Supreme Ziwu, he had ultimately not lived in the human world for so many years in vain.

"I have no intention of being an enemy of Heavenly Human Gu, but since I am to assist Heavenly Human Gu in ascending to Immortality, I must exert my full strength!"

Supreme Yu Ming of the Enlightenment Assembly gazed at Wanglin Mountain in the distance, his eyes filled only with gratitude and hope.

For Supreme Yu Ming, Gu Jiangming was undoubtedly the greatest benefactor on his true path of cultivation.

According to Supreme Yu Ming's own thoughts, even if he had lived until death, he would have at most only been able to cultivate to the perfection of Enlightenment.

Yet, having encountered the era when the Heavenly Human emerged, Supreme Yu Ming not only broke through several barriers within three thousand years, but at this very moment, he had even achieved the Supreme Realm.

A realm once out of reach was now within his own grasp; how could Supreme Yu Ming not be grateful to Gu Jiangming, this Heavenly Human in the world?

Yet, beyond gratitude, Supreme Yu Ming also truly hoped that Gu Jiangming could ascend to Immortality!

"The first person in all of eternity!"

"I truly hope you can pass this trial, so that I may properly see what kind of Peerless Elegance the Immortal Realm possesses!"

The two giants of the Enlightenment Assembly stood side by side; the one who spoke this time was naturally the Supreme named Jiao Qing.

In his original thoughts, since this Heavenly Human Gu was going to fall, it would not be too much to let him be tainted by some grace one last time, right?

It was just that the world was developing so fast, so fast that even Supreme Jiao Qing could hardly understand it.

The Heavenly Human Gu, who was originally about to transform into the Dao, was actually preparing to make a push for the realm of ascending to Immortality at the moment his lifespan was exhausted.

Although Supreme Jiao Qing harbored unspeakable thoughts in his heart, at this moment, he was undoubtedly of the same mind as everyone else, similarly longing, longing for Gu Jiangming to break through to the realm of ascending to Immortality.

Just the existence of one Heavenly Human in the world had allowed them to step into the Supreme Realm so easily.

Then, if Gu Jiangming could truly become an Immortal, would that mean, mean that they, these former Heaven and Earth Enlightened ones, could also step into the Heavenly Human Realm, and eventually try to ascend to Immortality just like Gu Jiangming?

"I originally only thought of performing a final curtain call, but I never expected that this grand play would become so massive at this moment!"

"Long Zheng, you say, by observing a Heavenly Human ascending to Immortality, do I still have a chance to try and achieve the Heavenly Human Realm?"

The ancestor of the Dragon Race, Long Ao, looked at the two figures beside him who were also manifesting their dragon bodies; his gaze lingered on Long Xi for a moment, and then he turned his gaze to the old Dragon King.

"Ancestor, when you asked such a question, you were already lacking confidence in your heart..."

"It is only a pity that my son-in-law did not let me see my good grandson born in the end..."

The old Dragon King listened to Long Ao's words, and while responding to this ancestor of the Dragon Race, he sighed, then turned his gaze back to Long Xi.

As for Long Xi, seeing the old Dragon King's expression of sighing and hating that she did not live up to expectations, she was also somewhat speechless.

How could she not want to see what the offspring of herself and Gu Jiangming looked like? Yet, although Gu Jiangming had not lacked in sharing a bed with her over these three thousand years, her belly simply showed no signs of movement.

It was as if, as if Heaven and Earth were preventing her and Gu Jiangming's offspring from appearing in the world.

"In this battle, we three siblings, along with the several aunts, are the main force leading the battlefield."

"Our plan is not to truly fight to the death with Father, but to find a way to guide the others to blast the Qilin Grotto-Heaven into the Void."

"Ascending to Immortality, the world will bring down the Human Tribulation, Earthly Difficulty, and Heavenly Disaster!"

"But once we can blast the Qilin Grotto-Heaven into the Void, Father only needs to endure the Human Tribulation between Heaven and Earth."

"When the Qilin Grotto-Heaven becomes a world unto itself, Father can completely endure the Heavenly Disaster and Earthly Difficulty within the Qilin Grotto-Heaven!"

Gu Nianmo was still painstakingly planning for Gu Jiangming up to this moment; even though he had instructed Gu Shengxi and Gu Mingyue countless times, Gu Nianmo still tirelessly instructed the two of them at this time.

As for Gu Shengxi and Gu Mingyue, both knew that this concerned their father's lifespan and Gu Jiangming's path of the Dao.

It was precisely because Gu Jiangming had strictly forbidden Gu Mingyue from going to Taiyin Star; otherwise, Gu Mingyue truly wanted to go to Taiyin Star to complete her strength to the Heavenly Human Realm.

But Gu Jiangming knew best that he had never intended to break through to the realm of ascending to Immortality in this attempt, so how could he watch his daughter be eternally imprisoned on Taiyin Star alone? If Gu Mingyue's lifespan were about to be exhausted, Gu Jiangming would naturally have no objections to her going to Taiyin Star to complete the final replenishment.

But Gu Mingyue still had a long lifespan and a long time ahead; he did not wish to see Gu Mingyue enjoying hundreds of thousands of years of loneliness alone on Taiyin Star.

Only Gu Shengxi remained silent at this moment.

Gu Shengxi was different from his eldest brother Gu Nianmo, who had been running around exploring Heaven and Earth for the past two thousand years; Gu Shengxi had handled many affairs of the Human Race for years, and he already had many bad thoughts in his heart.

Gu Shengxi was even more worried, worried that Gu Jiangming's ascension to Immortality was fake, and that exploring the realm of ascending to Immortality for them, his children, was the truth! But Gu Shengxi had never spoken this thought aloud; after all, he also believed, believed that Gu Jiangming could continue to write his own legend. After all, Gu Jiangming's journey thus far had always been a legend, had it not?

As for Jiu Jiu, at this moment, was there a flash of determination in Jiu Jiu's eyes?

It was not just Jiu Jiu; between Liu Moran's brows, there was also a flash of determination.

They did not know what Wang Qinghe and Long Xi were thinking, but Jiu Jiu and Gu Nianmo clearly had the intention to burn out everything they had to help Gu Jiangming blast the Qilin Grotto-Heaven into the Void, and then follow Gu Jiangming into Nirvana.

As for Wang Qinghe, Wang Qinghe's aura also noticed the determination between the brows of Jiu Jiu and Liu Moran. Wang Qinghe's gaze was placed on Gu Shengxi on one hand, and looked toward Wanglin Mountain in the distance on the other.

To be fair, raising a son was quite fun for Wang Qinghe, especially watching her son step by step reach the position of Human Emperor Supreme; the sense of accomplishment in Wang Qinghe's heart was not small.

As for this era, Wang Qinghe was also tired of it; there was nothing else, the difficulty for her, Wang Qinghe, to snatch a man in this era was simply too great.

Liu Moran already had a life-saving grace toward her, and she was no match for Jiu Jiu.

As for Long Xi...

Good sisters are good sisters, but good sister, you cannot snatch a man from me!

"Forget it, forget it, my son has already grown up, and this era is messy and not interesting at all."

"Once Mie Changsheng opens the next era, I must beat everyone else to it and snatch the man directly!"

"You lot are foolishly letting Gu Jiangming keep getting stronger, but I am different; once I reach my era, I will take Gu Jiangming and find a place to live in seclusion."

"It would be best if we both lived as mortals for a lifetime, turning into a handful of dust in the end, and let you all go searching for us!"

Wang Qinghe was already secretly calculating the next era of Mie Changsheng in her heart, but what Wang Qinghe did not know was that she had seemingly, probably, perhaps, actually accomplished this feat eighty years in the future?

As for Long Xi...

At this moment, Long Xi was fully displaying the body that belonged solely to her Dragon Race, and coupled with her strength at the Supreme Realm, Long Xi's figure became so noble and even miraculous.

Long Xi's pair of dragon eyes swept past Liu Moxuan and Jiu Jiu, with only a hint of nonchalance between her brows.

Others all said that she, Long Xi, was ignorant of worldly affairs, but Long Xi had already realized the reason why she could not snatch the man from these few wicked women!

"Because this era is still not the past life of him and me!"

"Our past life should be in a much more distant, ancient era!"

"In that era, I was definitely the first to meet Gu Jiangming, and it should also be the most ancient era of all!"

"When we reach that era, the marriage between Gu Jiangming and me will be legitimate, and since I am the most ancient, this proves that I am the true primary wife, and the rest of you all rank behind me."

"It is you who are snatching the man from me, not me snatching the man from you!"

"That is just how it is!"

Long Xi calculated secretly in her heart; she had already discovered that, apart from Wang Qinghe who had little presence, only the era belonging to her and Gu Jiangming had yet to open.

Long Xi had discovered that every time Mie Changsheng opened, it clearly represented the opening of a more distant and ancient era.

This also meant, meant that the marriage between her and Gu Jiangming should be in a more ancient era!

She was the first to arrive, so the other few people were naturally the ones who came later, were they not?

Above the dome of heaven, thousands of thoughts swirled in the minds of the Supremes; atop Wanglin Mountain, Gu Jiangming was also adjusting his own state, and even the Qilin Grotto-Heaven, to their best condition! "Everyone, please come to Wanglin Mountain!"

"I am already immensely grateful that you would do your best to assist me in ascending to immortality, but it is a pity that my own state is poor."

"Furthermore, after the Human Tribulation, there are still the Heavenly Disaster and Earthly Difficulty; please come to Wanglin Mountain and reserve some of your strength for me, would you?"

On Wanglin Mountain, Gu Jiangming stood at the peak and spoke in a clear voice.

Gu Jiangming's voice seemed to possess incredible power; clearly, he was only speaking aloud, yet this voice crossed distances of thousands and billions of miles, falling directly into the ears of the many Heaven and Earth Enlightenment practitioners and Supremes above Canglan City.

Hearing Gu Jiangming's words, those Heaven and Earth Enlightenment practitioners who were still guessing how Gu Jiangming would make his appearance were all stunned.

But a moment later, Ziwu and the other Supremes had already turned into rainbow light and headed straight for Wanglin Mountain.

These uninformed Supremes thought even differently; in their view, Gu Jiangming's approach of wanting to reserve some energy at such a critical juncture was truly because he was thinking of breaking through to the Ascension Realm.

After all, if he were not thinking of breaking through to the Ascension Realm, why would Gu Jiangming begrudge this bit of energy for the journey? As Long Ao, Ziwu, and Huang Yu, the three ancient Supremes, set off, the many other Supremes also turned into rainbow light one by one, and those Heaven and Earth Enlightenment practitioners who had originally remained above Canglan City also turned into rainbow light to catch up.

In the eyes of these Heaven and Earth Enlightenment practitioners, the Human North Territory was considered Gu Jiangming's dojo, and the core of Gu Jiangming's dojo was, without a doubt, the place where Wanglin Mountain was located.

After all, when he fought the Heavenly Human Zhou Kai of the Qilin clan back then, Gu Jiangming was sitting on Wanglin Mountain at that time.

At this moment, Gu Jiangming choosing Wanglin Mountain as the final place for his ascension was, in the eyes of these Heaven and Earth Enlightenment practitioners, within reason; after all, who is to say that Wanglin Mountain might not be the place where this Heavenly Human, Gu Jiangming, rose to prominence?

As streaks of rainbow light flashed toward Wanglin Mountain in the North Territory, the vicinity of Wanglin Mountain seemed, for a moment, to have once again become the scene from three thousand years ago when Gu Jiangming climbed to fight Zhou Kai.

Infinite principles were mixed and chaotic, infinite Dao Principles collided and intertwined, and for a time, they were actually stirring the Void to flash once again in the land north of Wanglin Mountain.

Seeing such a scene, the Heaven and Earth Enlightenment practitioners felt nothing but immense excitement in their hearts.

After all, three thousand years ago, it was the collision of Gu Jiangming's and Zhou Kai's auras that caused the spatial cracks, yet today, three thousand years later, it was merely the gathering of over a thousand of their strongest experts that actually caused the Heaven and Earth to manifest spatial cracks.

Did this not prove, prove that they were almost like the scene of two Pseudo-Heavenly Humans unleashing their auras to the extreme?

But only Gu Nianmo, Gu Shengxi, and Gu Mingyue noticed, noticed that the Qilin Grotto-Heaven that had originally stood in the North Territory had disappeared, and they even keenly perceived that the shattered Void was clearly the place where the Qilin Grotto-Heaven had originally stood.

"Father has moved the Qilin Grotto-Heaven away!"

"If my guess is correct, the Qilin Grotto-Heaven should be right beneath Wanglin Mountain at this moment!"

"We only need to guide the others to attack Wanglin Mountain together, and that will be enough!"

"As for the shattered Void, it cannot be said that our gathering here is equivalent to Pseudo-Heavenly Humans; it can only be said that this Heaven and Earth, which is being shattered and repaired, is likely not as stable as other places right now!"

Gu Nianmo had already seen the clues, and in a few words, he was explaining his plan to Gu Shengxi and Gu Mingyue.

And in fact, it was indeed as Gu Nianmo had thought; over the past few years, Gu Jiangming had long since hidden the Qilin Grotto-Heaven beneath Wanglin Mountain.

At this moment, the Qilin Grotto-Heaven was only a few bits of energy away from being completely driven into the Void by Gu Jiangming!
