Chapter 1769

Xu Jie and the five rode on that monster, slowly leaving the tree island.

The youth driving that monster, even by now, still couldn't help occasionally wiping his tears.

Zhao Zhengping, who had retreated to the side, saw his mouth corner twitching.

You've had enough, damn it, stop wiping—if it weren't for the bigger picture, he would have already launched a tirade.

Damn, these two guys, from head to toe, every pore reeks of falseness and hypocrisy—how could you be moved by that?

You're simply outrageous to the extreme—what's there to cry about?

Just like Xu Jie, as everyone slowly flew away from the tree island, the tears in his eyes? Damn, they vanished in an instant.

Moreover, the expression on his face shifted from reluctance to calm in an instant, as if he'd become a different person from just moments ago.

So, what's there to cry about for these two fake brothers?

Just when Zhao Zhengping had run out of strength to retort, ahead, the Heavenly Pride driving that monster actually turned his head, wearing a serious expression, and said to Xu Jie:

It's great that big brother can meet a brother like you.

Huh???

You fucking................

Hearing that, Zhao Zhengping could barely hold back—"You've had enough," he said; even Xu Jie himself couldn't help but be stunned, for a moment not knowing how to answer.

Faced with the sincere gaze of that Heavenly Pride from the Place of Exile, Xu Jie could only give an embarrassed smile, then nodded and said:

Heh, I'm also very happy to meet big brother, it's great.

Mm, I hope you can make it out of the Immortal Ascent Path alive.

Along the way, Zhao Zhengping and the four others said nothing; although they were genuinely disgusted by Xu Jie and that youthful big brother, they didn't speak up, and thanks to Xu Jie, their group encountered far fewer troubles, everything went smoothly.

So, even though their hearts were in turmoil, Zhao Zhengping and the four others still couldn't say anything.

Even if they forced themselves to speak, the four would still have to thank Xu Jie.

After all, since entering the Place of Exile, it's been thanks to Xu Jie that everyone has been able to relax so much—this is a fact.

Along the way, nothing unexpected happened; it's not a special period, and inside the Place of Exile, no one idly seeks death by going onto the Immortal Ascent Path.

Only outsiders like Xu Jie and his group would do such a thing.

Thus, they smoothly reached the Immortal Ascent Path, and that Heavenly Pride from the Place of Exile, riding the monster, slowly descended at the entrance of the Immortal Ascent Path.

Xu Jie and the five naturally also saw the two lines of large characters at the entrance of the Immortal Ascent Path.

Straightforward and easy to understand, they then bade farewell to the Heavenly Pride who had brought them, and only then did the five enter the Immortal Ascent Path.

Be careful, the Immortal Ascent Path is perilous.

Having passed the entrance, just as they entered the Immortal Ascent Path, Zhao Zhengping solemnly said:

After all, the dangers of the Immortal Ascent Path had already been mentioned by Yun Xiantai and them before.

Moreover, they had also learned quite a bit from the Heavenly Pride of the Place of Exile.

Even the youthful big brother with Great Emperor cultivation, when mentioning the Immortal Ascent Path, always wore a solemn expression, repeatedly urging everyone to be extra careful upon entering, never to be the slightest bit careless.

Otherwise, they would constantly risk their lives, and he even went so far as to tell the five not to go onto the Immortal Ascent Path to seek death.

Because in all likelihood, they'd surely die.

So, after entering the Immortal Ascent Path, Zhao Zhengping and the five became extremely cautious, examining their surroundings with each step to ensure there was no danger.

The five gave their full attention to each step on the Immortal Ascent Path, yet they didn't realize that, in fact, the Immortal Ascent Path currently held no danger.

What is the greatest danger on the Immortal Ascent Path? It is precisely that immortal corpse surpassing the Ancestor Realm level.

Moreover, with that immortal corpse present, it can be said that within the Place of Exile, it's basically impossible for anyone to pass through the Immortal Ascent Path and return to the Immortal Realm.

Because the Place of Exile has age restrictions, lacks cultivation resources, and even the environment is unfavorable.

Within the limited time, having nothing, to be able to cultivate to the Great Emperor Realm is already a sign among these youths of the Place of Exile.

If placed in the lower world, each of them would absolutely be an outstanding talent among people.

However, this level of cultivation, to that immortal corpse on the Immortal Ascent Path, is nothing at all—it doesn't even pose a threat.

With that immortal corpse's cultivation surpassing the Ancestor Realm, even several old ancestors of the God, Heaven, Yongye, and Nether clans would find it difficult to deal with, let alone these youngsters of the Place of Exile.

There is basically no chance of victory.

That is also why no one has ever succeeded on the Immortal Ascent Path.

With such an utterly overpowered immortal corpse stationed there, and it endlessly pursues its targets—once locked onto by that corpse within the Immortal Ascent Path, the chase goes to the ends of the earth.

Unless one can leave the Immortal Ascent Path.

On this point, Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing should have the most authority, as they were recently chased by that immortal corpse and lost even a bit of temper.

It's a pity that Xu Jie and the five didn't know these things; after entering the Immortal Ascent Path, even Xu Jie unusually became serious.

Play is play, but one shouldn't joke with one's life—in such a perilous place, that calls for caution.

Just after walking an unknown distance, Xu Jie and the four others began to look somewhat strange.

Husband, you didn't say the Immortal Ascent Path had great peril, did you?

Zhao Rou even couldn't help asking the Zhao Zhengping beside her; hearing that, Zhao Zhengping's face darkened.

I heard it from the old ancestor.

He gritted his teeth and replied, "Damn, how would I know? Isn't this just what the old ancestor told them to hear? Didn't you guys hear it yesterday?"

Yun Xiantai said the Immortal Ascent Path is dangerous, but along the way, the five haven't encountered any danger.

Not even a ghostly shadow in sight—just a winding road stretching far into the distance.

Xu Jie and the five successfully stepped onto the Immortal Ascent Path, while on the other side, Ye Zhangqing of the Guo family in the Immortal Realm led a busy yet peaceful life.

Several days passed, and Ye Zhangqing couldn't temporarily close his door today—not because he didn't want to breakthrough in one go to the Emperor Sovereign Realm, but because the ingredients on his person had run out.

Even a skilled housewife can't cook without rice; even if Ye Zhangqing's culinary skills were superb, without ingredients he couldn't make anything.

As for the Guo family, they probably didn't think of this, being busy eating.

He had no ingredients on him; Ye Zhangqing intended to get some, of course not by himself—after all, this is the Immortal Realm, and besides, he had the Guo family's connections, so why would he go through the trouble himself?

So, Ye Zhangqing asked a Guo family member about wanting to buy ingredients.

That Guo family member was fairly familiar; he had been eating here every day since the next day, never missing a meal.

Anyway, it was just one meal a day.

"Fellow Daoist, I've run out of ingredients here; I don't know if there's any place in this Immortal Realm where I can buy ingredients. Without ingredients, this mess hall probably can't keep operating."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, the Guo family member first froze, then showed a look of sudden realization—so it was because there were no ingredients that the mess hall closed today?
