Chapter 684: Tian Yi Ascends

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lonemoon felt like an invader – and an invader with a mission at that – Shu Yi was not at all low-key. They did not have any news of her so far, but that was probably just because she was trying to control the demonic Qi inside her body. Before long, Lonemoon knew that she would show herself once again.

But before she could do anything, a few years passed and Tian Yi had surprising achievements. Tian Yi had been in the late stages of Soul Formation, unable to make anymore progress. However, Lonemoon offered some suggestions out of convenience, and seemed to show Tian Yi a whole new direction. Tian Yi thus went head-in into changing pill recipes. Perhaps he was gifted in this area. Not only did he really manage to change the recipe for the Demon-Breaking Pill, he also began to look into other celestial-grade recipes.

Just like that, he reaped the benefits in terms of cultivation level. The entire Dan Xia Mountain welcomed batches of new pills from time to time. Otherwise, they heard multiple explosions on several occasions as well. This got Tian Yi more and more excited – his pill refining skills progressed at a cray speed. He was a pill cultivator after all. Apart from training, pill cultivators could also advance in cultivation level by refining pills. Given the pace at which Tian Yi was refining pills, it was no wonder that his The increase was big, too.

Thus, he ascended to immortality.

One morning, when Tian Yi was refining a cauldron of celestial-grade pills, the sky suddenly darkened. A huge lightning bolt like the disciples of Gui Yi Sect had never seen before suddenly struck the ground. Then… the bolt of lightning avoided Nameless Mountain and went straight to Dan Xiao Mountain. A large crash was heard. The temples all around Tian Yi were reduced to smithereens.

Before anyone could react, a huge Protective Mountain Array came up around the sect. Still, it could not fend against the formidable power of the heavens. The Sect Master Yu Luan anxiously flew over from the main peak just in time to see another frighteningly thick bolt of lightning. Then, he noticed that the skies were dark.

“This.. Could this be…” Yu Luan did not dare believe his own eyes.

“It’s the Immortal Ascension Lightning Tribulation,” Yi Qing and Lonemoon confirmed. They, too, arrived just in time with spirit herbs to see the lightning bolts.

“Immortal Ascension!” Yu Luan exclaimed. He looked a bit confused. “Could the person ascending to immortality be… Uncle-Master Tian Yi!” Yu Luan was all the more shocked now, but his body could no longer withstand the pressure filling the air. His legs were turning to jelly. It was almost as if he could not bear to stand for one more minute in the presence of this force from the heavens.

Tian Yi’s lightning tribulation was happening so soon. What’s more, this was the morning. The sun had not completely risen – that was why nobody realised that it was coming. Lonemoon instinctively conjured a seal to prevent the audience from becoming overwhelmed. After all, this was the Immortal Ascension Lightning Tribulation. He turned to face Chef, “You should do it!”

Yi Qing stared blankly at him. Why?

“It’s safer if you set it up!” He added. Yi Qing was the lightning tribulation’s boss after all. Did he not see the lightning bolt avoid Nameless Mountain?

Yi Qing’s expression darkened, but he turned around and set up the array anyway. A moment later, a white array appeared all around Dan Xia Mountain, on the outside of the Protective Mountain Array. There were two holes on the top of the array, which allowed the lightning bolts to descend through.

Yu Luan reacted at the same time. He quickly arranged for the disciples of Dan Xia Mountain to escape from the mountain. While he did this, he got the other disciples to move further away. This was an Immortal Ascension Lightning Tribulation. it was not like the ones the other disciples went through. Perhaps just looking at one bolt of lightning strike the mountain would cause the disciples’ cultivation levels to stagnate from the impact. What’s more, the lightning bolt that just descended was the Mental Demon Tribulation. The lightning bolts that were to follow would be much more terrifying.

The two of them moved very quickly. Once Yi Qing was done with setting up the array, Yu Luan was almost done with sending all the disciples off. Tian Yi had already passed the first stage by then. The following lightning bolts came down in loud crashes, causing Gui Yi Sect to look snow white. The entire Dan Xia Mountain was turning to ash right before their eyes because of this Lightning Tribulation. Twenty bolts later, the mountain was just half its original height.

The amazing thing was that no matter how strong these lightning bolts were, they did not do any damage even a centimetre outside of Dan Xia Mountain. It was almost as if a marksman was responsible for it. Each bolt of lightning struck accurately right in the center of Tian Yi’s head.

Tian Yi, who had been sitting on the center of the peak, used all his energy to defend against the impact. Although he did have a hunch that this lightning tribulation was coming, and he did train intensely to gather spirit Qi into his body, he did not think about when exactly the lightning tribulation will begin. The Immortal Ascension Lightning Tribulation was indeed nothing like he expected.

Each bolt of lightning in the lightning tribulation threatened to tear his body apart. He was enduring bone-breaking, soul-splitting pain, yet all he could do was try his best to gather the spirit Qi from all around him to heal his wounds in between the bolts of lightning. It was like he was changing his bones on the spot.

But that was indeed what he was doing. The so-called Immortal Ascension Lightning Tribulation was meant to help mortals get rid of their mortal bodies and form immortal ones while they ascended to immortality. The only thing mortals would be able to do was endure through the lightning tribulation. Tian Yi was covered in blood by now, yet he gritted his teeth and hung on to his life. Faintly, Lonemoon and Yi Qing could sense the immortal bones forming in his body.

The last bolt of lightning struck down. Tian Yi used all the remaining spirit Qi in his body to absorb the impact from this bolt of lightning. The suppressive spiritual force that was causing everyone to have difficulty breathing immediately condensed into immortal Qi, which flowed into Tian Yi’s body and helped with the formation of his immortal bones. His wounds began to heal.

The man who had been drowning in blood was recovering his original looks right before their eyes. Even the suppressive force that his body emanated seemed different. It was then that Tian Yi finally heaved a sigh of relief. It began to sink in that he had successfully endured through the lightning tribulation.

At the same time, a golden beam of light shone through the dark clouds and down onto his body. The world that had been so familiar to him before was beginning to feel foreign to him. It was like the former was rejecting his presence. His body felt lighter – it begged to float up into the clouds.

“It’s a success! Uncle-Master Tian Yi has ascended to immortality!” Yu Luan screamed in joy. He was overwhelmed with emotion. “This place hasn’t had people ascending to immortality in hundreds of thousands of ears. I did not think that the first person who would be able to do so would be Uncle-Master Tian Yi! That’s great!”

The other disciples realised that the danger had passed. One by one, they came out to see the golden beam of light and began to celebrate.

Tian Yi’s body began to float upward toward the source of the golden beam of light. His entire body looked different. There was a white glow about him – immortal Qi. Just as he was about to enter the upper realm, he seemed to recall something. His body paused and he turned around, trying to get back down. But he was not familiar with how to control his immortal Qi, thus he could not descend smoothly. Instead, he started to flap his arms like a duck in order to get a bit closer to the ground. Still, he could not seem to get out of the golden beam of light. All he could do was wave his arms around as he shouted, “Brother Lonemoon! Brother Lonemoon, are you there?!”

All the disciples standing around suddenly stopped moving and turned to look at Lonemoon.

Tian Yi continued shouting, waving at him with all his might. “Brother Lonemoon, quick, come over here! I have something to tell you!”

Lonemoon: “…”

Sh*t! What are you telling me things for? I’m not even your disciple.
