Chapter 76: with translation of chapter title

Where should I run?

Cangming Old Ghost stood stunned on the spot for a long while.

The vast heavens and earth lay entirely within the giant palm's coverage; no matter how swiftly they flew, could they escape its grasp?

Ah!!!

At that moment, a tragic cry came from not far away; the ancient monster desperately fleeing was crushed into a blood mist by Li Zhangsheng with a single finger, instantly annihilating both body and spirit!

Cangming Old Ghost shuddered all over upon hearing that tragic cry: "No, what level of expert could unleash such a divine ability? Is it above the immortal realm?"

Cangming Old Ghost felt utterly stifled at this moment.

How can such a terrifying existence be allowed within this immortal path?

"Haha, Master, quickly crush them!" Yang Xuji looked up at the giant hand extending from the void, knowing it must be Li Zhangsheng coming to save them, his heart filled with joy!

In this world, besides his master, who else could wield such overbearing, unparalleled divine ability?

Just, when did the master's hand become so huge?

Why have I never seen the master use this divine ability before?

Never mind; no matter how exaggerated the master's skill, Yang Xuji would never be surprised.

It's still that saying; I've already gotten used to it!

Beside them, Jiang Yuanqing and the Nether Emperor both wore looks of genuine awe as they gazed at the giant hand spanning heaven and earth, their hearts greatly shaken!

Is this truly the senior's real means? A giant palm divine ability coming from nowhere... terrifying indeed!

Hiss!

Both of them sucked in a breath of cold air!

Fortunately, they are on Li Zhangsheng's side; if they stood against him, they wouldn't know how desperate they'd be!

Just like the current Cangming Old Ghost!

Cangming Old Ghost now cannot flee, nor can he stay!

In short, he himself doesn't know what to do!

He turned his head to look at Yang Xuji and the other two, his turbid eyes showing deep surprise: "I never expected these three ants to have such a strong backing!"

Cangming Old Ghost naturally could think that the one who unleashed the giant palm divine ability is precisely the backing behind these three ants!

Otherwise, there would be no reason to target him and the ancient monster for no cause!

"What are you looking at, you poorly developed dead dwarf? Believe it or not, I'll gouge out your eyes later." Seeing Cangming Old Ghost look over, Yang Xuji, relying on his master's power, shouted at him:

"You were pretty arrogant before, right? You demonic cultivator, wanting to torment us to a fate worse than death—keep being wild!"

"Dead dwarf!"

"Damn it!" Upon hearing that, Cangming Old Ghost's expression flared with anger, and demonic energy surged from his body; although he is a dwarf, since he gained tremendous power, no one has dared to call him a dwarf to his face!

Because anyone who called him a dwarf has already been killed and refined by him!

At this moment, Yang Xuji's words undoubtedly touched a deep scar in Cangming Old Ghost's heart, giving him the idea to drag someone down with him before death.

"Anyway, today we're all going to die, so I'll drag someone down with me!"

Thinking this, Cangming Old Ghost gazed at Yang Xuji with a gloomy look, then immediately exerted all his strength, flashing toward Yang Xuji in an instant!

"You called me a dwarf, right? Old man, even if I die today I'll drag you along!"

Seeing Cangming Old Ghost come at him with all his might, Yang Xuji gave a light smile, having no thought of defense, not the slightest panic!

"What joke is this? The master has arrived; how could I let this dead dwarf harm me?"

As expected, Cangming Old Ghost had just rushed over when he was crushed into a blood mist by a single finger!

"Thank you, senior, for saving my life!"

Jiang Yuanqing and the Nether Emperor clasped their hands toward the giant hand in the air to give thanks.

Yang Xuji, however, is well acquainted with Li Zhangsheng, so he isn't overly polite; instead he laughed toward the void: "Master, our talisman supplies are used up—could you give us a few more? Hehe!"

"What are you thinking? There's none left; next time you encounter danger, you'll just have to fend for yourselves." Li Zhangsheng's calm voice came, obviously to give them some tempering pressure.

"Okay." Yang Xuji smacked his lips, but he understood deep down that even without a positioning distress talisman, Li Zhangsheng would certainly guarantee their safety!

This is Yang Xuji's intuition.

"How does it feel that the master has cleared this immortal path?"

Yang Xuji silently thought to himself.

Immediately afterward, Li Zhangsheng casually crushed to death several demonic sect old monsters rampaging in this desert region, leaving only demonic cultivators of the same level as Yang Xuji and company, then withdrew his hand.

……

Time flew by!

In the blink of an eye, three hundred years passed!

Three hundred years of time, for cultivators, is not considered long!

During this period, Li Zhangsheng watched as the six of them grew all the way to the peak of Emperor Realm on the immortal path; whenever they encountered life-threatening danger, Li Zhangsheng would also extend a hand to help…

After the six reached the peak of Emperor Realm, Li Zhangsheng threw piles of resources before them, enabling each of the six to cultivate three strands of immortal qi!!

The reason the six could fully cultivate three strands of immortal qi in such a short time is mainly because within this immortal path there exists something called the Bodhi fruit!!

During the three hundred years, the second and third layers of worlds within the immortal path were opened one after another; the resources of those upper two layers are obviously far richer than those of the first layer!

Naturally, the most sought-after resource among them is the Bodhi fruit.

This thing can greatly enhance a cultivator's comprehension, allowing them to refine immortal herbs and condense immortal qi without obstruction!

Precisely because of this, the six who followed Li Zhangsheng into the immortal path, relying on the Bodhi fruit's efficacy, saw their cultivation soar all the way!

In merely ten years' time, they cultivated the complete three strands of immortal qi—truly divine speed!!

Of course, these Bodhi fruits were naturally given to them by Li Zhangsheng!

Twenty years ago, Li Zhangsheng directly uprooted an entire Bodhi tree, claimed it as his own, and planted it in his finger-ring space……

Inside the third level of the Immortal Path, on a high mountain.

Here there is an ancient palace, which Li Zhangsheng has taken as their six-person cultivation place!!

At this moment, inside the palace, seven people sit on chairs, leisurely brewing and drinking tea.

"The resources inside the Immortal Path are truly abundant! In just three hundred years, not only have we reached the Emperor Realm Peak, but we have also cultivated three strands of immortal qi!" Liu Yiming took a sip of tea, smiling happily on his face, he clenched his fists, his aura mighty, his inner power overflowing:

"I feel that within the same level, I can take on ten!"

"Tch, still ten? Someone pulls out a half-immortal artifact and can just toy with you in battle." Xiao Jue beside them teased.

"I mean without using equipment." Liu Yiming said: "Besides, even against cultivators wielding half-immortal artifacts, I could still smash one or two!"

Liu Yiming's words were not an exaggeration.

He possesses the Double Pupil and Supreme Bone implanted by Li Zhangsheng.

Now he has cultivated three strands of immortal qi; immortal qi infused into the Double Pupil and Supreme Bone—its power… even he feels a bit frightened seeing it!

"Master, we have all cultivated three strands of immortal qi; when the Immortal Platform opens, we can pass through it, transform our bodies into immortal qi, and ascend to the Immortal Realm." Yang Xuangji looked at Li Zhangsheng and said:

"There are still ten days until the Immortal Platform opens."

"We are about to go to the Immortal Realm; before that, should we go back for a trip to arrange some matters?"

Three days ago, the third level of the Immortal Path suddenly announced a piece of news out of nowhere: the Immortal Platform will open in thirteen days!

After cultivating three strands of immortal qi, there is still one final step to reach the Immortal Person Realm.

That is, by catalyzing the three strands of immortal qi within the body into a body of immortal qi; this process is called 【Three Lives Myriad Things】!

And the Immortal Platform is to speed up this 【Three Lives Myriad Things】 process for cultivators who have cultivated three strands of immortal qi.

In other words, as long as you cultivate three strands of immortal qi and enter the Immortal Platform, the platform will automatically help you catalyze a body of immortal qi, enabling you to ascend to immortality and enter the Immortal Realm!

And this Immortal Platform is the greatest opportunity of the Immortal Path!

However, the Immortal Platform has limited spots; when it opens, there will inevitably be a bloodbath!

Of course, Yang Xuangji and the others naturally don't need to worry about these!

After all, Li Zhangsheng is here!

Following Li Zhangsheng, they only need to take care of lying down!

Now Yang Xuangji is thinking: their several core combatants of the Longevity Sect will all ascend to the Immortal Realm; should we go back to arrange the aftermath?

After all, Yang Xuangji has experienced the Longevity Sect's leaderless situation; he fears the later generations of the Longevity Sect will follow in his difficult footsteps of barely maintaining the sect's survival!

Although a sect over time will inevitably have a day of decline.

But Yang Xuangji, after spending so many years in the Longevity Sect, has long regarded it as his home; he does not want them to leave and have the Longevity Sect be swallowed up by others!

"Then let's go back for a trip to arrange some matters." Hearing Yang Xuangji's words, Li Zhangsheng nodded.

"I also have some matters to entrust to the younger generation of the Jiang Family, and by the way bring some resources back for them." Jiang Yuanqing also spoke feelingly.

I never expected that I would actually have a day to ascend!

In the past, Jiang Yuanqing wouldn't even dare to think of it!

This is also thanks to his habit of often bringing liquor to the Longevity Sect to drink with Li Zhangsheng, which allowed him to follow Li Zhangsheng and soar to the heavens!!

"Then let's go." Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, bringing Yang Xuangji and the others as they traversed the Immortal Path downward, passing through the barrier of the Lower Realm.

In the sweep of his divine sense, Li Zhangsheng immediately knew the location of the Myriad Worlds!

At this moment, the Myriad Worlds, under Li Zhangsheng's full-force divine sense enveloping them, were tiny like a fist!

Li Zhangsheng, bringing along a few people, took a step and arrived above the Longevity Sect!

"How fast!"

The Netherworld Emperor looked around, somewhat dazed!

Just a moment ago, they were clearly in the third level of the Immortal Path; in a mere instant, they arrived inside the Longevity Sect of the Myriad Worlds!

This speed…

"Senior, I'll go back to the Jiang Family for a bit, then come over to meet up with you later." Jiang Yuanqing bowed to Li Zhangsheng and said:

"Sect Master, I'll also go home for a trip." Liu Yiming also said.

Li Zhangsheng nodded, "Go."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two took a step across; they are now at the Emperor Realm Peak and have cultivated three strands of immortal qi, so returning home from the Longevity Sect also takes only a single step.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng and the others landed on the square of the Longevity Sect!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The people of the Longevity Sect, led by Grand Elder Shen Qingcang, sensed this and also came out to welcome.

"Sect Master, Elder Ancestor!" Shen Qingcang bowed to Li Zhangsheng and Yang Xuangji: "You've returned."

Shen Qingcang's aptitude is not great; despite the Longevity Sect's abundant resources now, he has barely managed to reach the Quasi-Emperor Mid-stage!

"Shen Qingcang, we are all going to the Immortal Realm; this time we came back mainly to entrust you with some matters." Yang Xuangji looked at Shen Qingcang and said:

"What, Sect Master, Elder Ancestor you…" Shen Qingcang wanted to speak but hesitated, feeling rather reluctant.

Li Zhangsheng took out a storage ring of his own from before, filled with the cultivation resources he had scavenged in the Immortal Path, countless immortal herbs and medicines, six Bodhi Fruits, and the talismans he had made out of boredom!

He handed the storage ring to Shen Qingcang: "The Longevity Sect, after all, is something I founded myself; I also cannot bear to see it decline again."

"This storage ring contains many spiritual herbs and medicines; I entrust it to you."

"Your aptitude is average; the storage ring contains a kind of immortal fruit called Bodhi Fruit, which can enhance comprehension."

"I have marked it down and moderated its medicinal potency; taking it can greatly enhance comprehension, helping you break through the Emperor Realm should be no problem, and perhaps in the future you could rely on it to charge into the Immortal Realm!"

"Now the Longevity Sect also has many rising talents; you can cultivate some to become pillars of the Longevity Sect in the future!"

"Besides that, the storage ring also contains many talismans for attack, defense, and void escape!"

Remember, before using an attack talisman, first put a defensive talisman on yourself, otherwise you'll injure yourself!

With such a rich foundation, if used properly, it should be able to keep the Changsheng Sect immortal for a million years!

Over these years, Li Zhangsheng has observed Shen Qingshang's character and ability.

Entrusting the Changsheng Sect to him, Li Zhangsheng also feels at ease.

Shen Qingshang trembled as he accepted the ring: "I, Qingshang, vow as Sect Master and Elder Ancestor to give my life to protect the foundation of the Changsheng Sect!!"

Yang Xuanji walked over and patted Shen Qingshang's shoulder: "No need to be so solemn; relax a bit—later, don't overwork yourself, just play when you should."

That Bodhi fruit is extremely potent; after taking it, who knows—in a few thousand years you might also be able to ascend!

Moreover, the master's talismans—one attack talisman can blow up a Ninefold Emperor Realm; with these, in these heavens, I estimate no one is your match; of course, if you encounter an Emperor Realm who has cultivated immortal aura, just blow up a few more!

You stay down here to watch over the family business; we'll go up first to explore. When you later ascend, who knows—maybe we'll have conquered the entire immortal realm!

"Yes, Elder Ancestor!" Shen Qingshang smiled, and his mood instantly relaxed.

"Mm, that's more like it." Yang Xuanji patted Shen Qingshang's shoulder again.

At that moment, Li Zhangsheng casually waved his hand, and a barrier enveloped the Changsheng Sect!

Immediately after, Li Zhangsheng took out a stone tablet, inscribed something on it, and the tablet instantly became closely linked to the barrier enveloping the Changsheng Sect.

Li Zhangsheng then handed the stone tablet to Shen Qingshang: "I've casually set up a formation for you; this is the formation plate, consider it a safeguard."

Also, if in the future you truly encounter danger, you can try crushing a distress talisman; perhaps I… can come down to help.

"Yes, Sect Master!" Upon hearing Li Zhangsheng's words and receiving the formation plate again, Shen Qingshang instantly felt no pressure.

Afterward, Li Zhangsheng and the others wandered around the Changsheng Sect at leisure for a while.

Not long after, Jiang Yuanqing and Liu Yiming both returned one after another!

After they returned, Li Zhangsheng led them back to the Immortal Path!

Ten days later, several long bell tones echoed throughout the Immortal Path!

The Immortal Platform… has opened!
