Until midnight.
38 Mahayala cultivators had gathered on the high tower!
Every single one of them was amongst the finest cultivators in the Immortal Realm and they were all gathered here at this moment. This shocking sight made everyone hold their breaths.
So majestic!
However, what was even more shocking was that all of them looked weak and worn out as if they could be blown away by the wind.
Reality was harsh. One could cultivate all their lives and end up like a pile of yellow soil in the end.
“For the sake of Wisdom! Today, we’ve gathered here to fight for our last gleam of life! We’ll borrow life from Heaven, find our way there, and seek for longevity!”
The first Elderly Emperor let out a roar, shaking his surroundings!
After he spoke, he rose into the air and soared toward the sky!
He exuded an air of authority and power.
The others did not want to lose out. They went onto the path of Immortalization as well.
Their auras were at their peaks as if it was their last shot at glory in life. It was also as if they were striving toward a new life, exuding an oppressive aura toward the sky!
“Dacheng Immortal Palace, Zhou Yun, fourteen thousand five hundred years of cultivation. Striving for longevity!”
“Tianyun Sect, ex-Sect Master, Li Gan, thirteen thousand two hundred years of cultivation. Striving for longevity!”
“Southern Lin Family, Lin Mofeng, fifteen thousand years of cultivation. Striving for longevity!”
…
Voices resonated in the air. They…wanted to mark their names in this Immortal Realm.
Countless cultivators did indeed mark down their names. Many people looked shocked and surprised. So, this man was that well-known cultivator back in the day…
All 38 of them were no longer powerful like they once were. Now, they were aged and weak like ants, fighting for the last gleam of life.
Someone could not help sighing as he said, “Mark this moment. This represents the arrival of a new era!”
“From now on, the Mahayala realm would no longer be the most powerful rank in the Immortal Realm. Additionally, due to the resurfacing of Spiritual Qi, there’d be more Mahayala realm cultivators!”
“Do you think they’ll succeed?”
“I don’t know. However, the chances are small.”
Transgressing to another space would take up a lot of Spiritual Qi. It required good stamina, something that naturally decreased as one aged. Especially for this bunch who were already half-dead. It was apparent that they did not have much stamina left in them.
However, in comparison to being tied down in this realm, they were considered lucky. They could at least give it one more shot during the last moment of their lives now that the bridge between the two realms was rebuilt.
Vroom!
Suddenly, ripples appeared between the sky and the ground.
The power of the Mahayala cultivators caused a golden gate to appear in the air. It was extremely majestic, and it conjured the urge to worship it at the sight of it.
Meanwhile, a thick wave of ancient aura exploded.
The Heavenly Gate that had remained unused for so many years…appeared in this realm again!
Rays of golden light washed down from above, forming pillars that trapped all 38 of them.
One could see the cells reviving in their bodies as their wrinkled skin started to smoothen.
“Immortal Qi! It’s the baptism of Immortal Qi!”
The cultivators below watched, impressed. Sounds of admiration were heard.
The 38 cultivators looked delighted. They also had looks of determination in their eyes as they rose into the sky even quicker.
“Ha-ha-ha! Heavenly Gate…we’re here!”
“Immortal Land… We’re coming!”
“Going right into it without looking back!”
When the cultivators saw this, they instantly felt a wave of Godly aura washing over them. They clenched their fists in excitement. One day, it would be their turn!
They were extremely excited watching the 38 cultivators as they entered the Heavenly Gate, one after another.
However, the glory was suddenly destroyed in the next moment.
Suddenly, an elder who was Immortalizing rushed out from the Heavenly Gate. It was the Elderly Emperor who took the lead earlier!
He looked shocked. It seemed like he was panicking as he was rushing away from the gate.
Swiftly after, a second figure appeared. It was the other elderly man who did not seem to care where his walking cane had gone. He was running super quickly!
Then, the third man, the fourth…
The crowd rubbed their eyes. They thought they were hallucinating.
What happened to the ‘without looking back’ spirit?
Did they not say they were never coming back?
Vroom!
In the next instance, wild flames shot out from the Heavenly Gate.
The flame was too strong. Too strong! It was like a tsunami of fire that instantly engulfed the entire sky!
Everyone’s heart was thumping loudly. They looked up to see the fierce flames shooting across the sky. By then, the sky had turned into a sea of fire!
The sky lit up so brightly all around!
The terrifying heat…increased suddenly!
“This…this…this…”
The crowd’s brains blanked out. They could only feel their throats turning dry. They were all dumbfounded by this strange scenario!
Some with better coping mechanisms had snapped out of the shock. They turned around and started running.
“Why run? Do I seem so scary to you?”
A piercing sound rang in the air, penetrating their souls.
Swiftly after, the flame retreated back to the Heavenly Gate. In its place stood a woman in a red flowy dress. She had red hair and red eyes. Her skin was fair like jade.
She was barefooted. Her nails and toenails were painted red.
She reached out with her delicate hand. Instantly, the 38 Mahayala cultivators who were running away could no longer move forward. Instead, they flew toward the woman.
“You accidentally helped me open up the Heavenly Gate. I, the Fire Phoenix, don’t like to be indebted. Therefore, I shall help all of you to Immortalize!”
Her calm voice resonated from her lips, sounding arrogant.
She pushed gently, and the 38 cultivators were instantly engulfed in flames. They were being pushed toward the Heavenly Gate.
The people walking from below were flabbergasted! They had turned into sculptures with opened mouths, looking up blankly.
Vroom!
Deafening sounds resonated in the air again, shocking everyone. A thick cloud started to appear gradually. This cloud was too thick. It was so thick that it engulfed the Heavenly Gate completely.
Streaks of lightning appeared in the cloud like silver snakes. The sight was terrifying. The people watching could only feel their scalps growing numb as all their hair stood up like spikes!
This Natural Tribulation was so terrifying that it was beyond words! It was like the end of the world!
Everyone felt that their scalps were about to explode and yet none of them were able to move.
Vroom!
The cloud…was still thickening!
It was so thick that it seemed as if it was not far off the ground. It looked as if it was about to collapse and fall.
Such a terrifying Natural Tribulation was indeed beyond one’s imagination!
However, the cloud hovered above the woman’s head as if she had done something that angered the sky.
The woman looked up at the sky with her unperturbed and arrogant face. Finally, she frowned, “I came down from the Immortal Land and helped thirty-eight cultivators Immortalize. I seem to have…crossed my limit…”
