"I suggest we should erect a golden statue for Grandmaster. When news of Grandmaster breaking the void spreads, the world will be in an uproar. There will be many who come to pay their respects!"
Zhang Wuji offered another suggestion.
Wudang Sect hadn't kept the matter of Zhang Sanfeng breaking the void a secret.
In fact, Wudang Sect, considering Zhang Wuji's face, had even invited some people from the Ming Cult to witness the event.
"Grandmaster has accomplished the first feat of Break the Void in our world, pointing the way for all martial artists!"
"We should build a golden statue for him to receive worship for ten thousand generations."
Zhang Wuji was filled with fanaticism and excitement.
His Grandmaster had achieved a feat that would be admired for all time.
"Cough, cough... Wuji, before your Grandmaster ascended, he sold everything of value in Wudang, exchanging it for spirit stones and leaving them for Wudang!"
"Now, the Wudang accounts don't have a single copper coin to their name. We'll have to postpone the matter of the gilded statue!"
Song Yuanqiao gave a wry smile.
Zhang Sanfeng had later told Song Yuanqiao and his fellow disciples about the Chat Group.
He was about to Break the Void, and Wudang Sect would lose the Chat Group resources.
Before leaving, Zhang Sanfeng had gone on a spending spree, selling everything Wudang could sell and exchanging it for gold and silver. He then used it to get points in the Chat Group, exchanging them all for spirit stones and leaving them for Wudang.
To create a gilded statue for Zhang Sanfeng, Wudang couldn't even afford a single tael of gold!
Chat Group!
Yan Shisan: "Holy crap, how long is this ascension going to take?"
Little Li's Flying Dagger: "Grandmaster Zhang, are you two alright?"
The hundred-year-old Taoist from Wudang: "We're fine. I thought we'd be in the Celestial Realm immediately, but it seems we're still ascending!"
Yan Chixia: "I hope this light doesn't suddenly shatter. If it does! Old Zhang and I are done for!"
No one expected that Zhang Sanfeng and Yan Chixia wouldn't instantly appear in the "Celestial Realm."
After entering the colorful gate, it wasn't the "Celestial Realm" they'd imagined.
Once they were pulled in, they were immediately enveloped by the colorful light, which pulled them along rapidly.
Now, two hours had already passed, and the colorful light was still carrying them, moving quickly. They didn't know how much longer it would take.
Chen Beixuan: "Your ascension is clearly different from the traditional ones!"
Lord of Devouring: "That's right. Actually, there are several scenarios for ascension. If it's an ascension from a mythical world or a xianxia world, then the ascension will inevitably be to the Celestial Realm that originally existed in that world. In this case, it's still within one world!"
Lord of Devouring: "The low-martial world where Old Zhang is from obviously doesn't have its own Celestial Realm, which means your ascension is to another world!"
Lord of Devouring: "Flying from one world to another, let alone a couple of hours, it's possible it could take a year or two."
Lord of Devouring: "You two be patient. It's best not to move around, and don't do anything else. Turn off the stream too."
Lord of Devouring: "Right now, you two are in the midst of ascension, enveloped by that celestial light. My ability to deduce fate can't even calculate your destiny."
Lord of Devouring: "I don't know if the stream will affect your ascension journey!"
Lord of Devouring: "It's best not to open the Chat Group again until you reach the upper realm!"
Wudang's centenarian Daoist: "Everyone, this old Daoist is going to close the Chat Group. Once I've safely reached the Celestial Realm, Yan Chixia and I will share our good news with you!"
Jiang Li explained the various risks, and Zhang Sanfeng stopped the broadcast, quickly closing it!
He and Yan Chixia weren't afraid.
From the day they decided to Break the Void, they had considered the possibility of dying along the way.
With their temperaments, they weren't exactly indifferent to life and death, but they had made all the necessary preparations.
Chen Beixuan: "I envy Old Zhang and Yan Chixia. Breaking the Void, and they don't even need to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation!"
Chen Beixuan: "It's a pity that I'm in a Xianxia world. Without undergoing a tribulation, you can't ascend. Otherwise, I would have switched to martial arts!"
Yan Shisan to Chen Beixuan: "Immortal Venerable Beixuan, is the tribulation that scary?"
Little Li's Flying Dagger: "Back then, Immortal Venerable Beixuan was a big shot in the Tribulation Stage; you should have experienced the Heavenly Tribulation. Tell us about it, for us newbies!"
Chen Beixuan: "The Heavenly Tribulation isn't just frightening, it's terrifying!"
Chen Beixuan: "Back in my world, I was invincible in the starry sky, undefeated in ten thousand battles!"
Chen Beixuan: "However, even with such outstanding cultivation, I didn't survive the Heavenly Tribulation. If not for some unknown reason, I would have been reborn, I would have died under the Heavenly Tribulation long ago!"
Chen Beixuan: "Put it this way, out of ten thousand people who cultivate, not even one might reach the Tribulation Stage!"
Chen Beixuan: "Out of a hundred people trying to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, maybe all hundred will be struck dead by it!"
Yan Shisan: "Holy shit, is it that hard to transcend the tribulation and become an immortal?"
Little Li's Flying Dagger: "Terrifying, the Immortal Venerable Beixuan, undefeated in ten thousand battles, still died under the Heavenly Tribulation!"
Long Bo: "Doesn't that mean that we, sooner or later, will all be struck dead by the Heavenly Tribulation!"
Shi Potian: "What about becoming an immortal?"
Purple Mist Gentleman's Sword: "Trembling with fear, I'll just switch to martial arts!"
A Xing: "Good thing I cultivate martial arts!"
Lord of Devouring: "Haha... It's not as terrifying as Chen Beixuan says!"
Lord of Devouring @ Chen Beixuan: "Your worlds actually have some problems; the immortal path inheritance isn't complete!"
Lord of Devouring: "In worlds with truly complete immortal path inheritance, the success rate of passing the Heavenly Tribulation is probably around ten percent!"
Lord of Devouring: "In those worlds, there's also something called a Loose Immortal!"
Lord of Devouring: "It's when you fail the Heavenly Tribulation and your body dissolves, but you use your Nascent Soul to reshape a Loose Immortal body, allowing you to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation again!"
Lord of Devouring: "As long as you can successfully overcome twelve Loose Immortal Heavenly Tribulations, you can ascend to the Celestial Realm with the body of a twelve-tribulation Loose Immortal!"
Chen Beixuan: "Jiang Li's right. There's definitely something wrong with our world. My True Martial Immortal Sect is the number one sect in the universe, yet our inheritance is incomplete."
Chen Beixuan: "And this Loose Immortal thing... I've never heard of it. So, you can become a Loose Immortal if you fail your tribulation!"
Long Bo: "A ten percent success rate is still too low!"
Yan Shisan: "Are Loose Immortals that amazing? If I fail my tribulation in the future, I'll become a Loose Immortal!"
Lord of Devouring: "It's best not to become a Loose Immortal. It's just a way to barely survive."
Lord of Devouring: "Out of a million Loose Immortals, not even one might be able to survive the twelve Loose Immortal Heavenly Tribulations, unless they are super divine beasts with inherited immortal artifacts. Only then, can they survive the twelve Loose Immortal Heavenly Tribulations!"
Lord of Devouring: "This thing will strike you once every thousand years, starting from the day you become a Loose Immortal."
Lord of Devouring: "Regardless of whether your cultivation improves, he'll come and strike you once every thousand years, until he either kills you or you've survived twelve Heavenly Tribulations!"
Lord of Devouring: "Most Loose Immortals are reduced to ashes after five or six tribulations!"
Lord of Devouring: "You don't need to worry too much. The most important thing for surviving the Heavenly Tribulation is your own strength!"
Lord of Devouring: "As long as you cultivate my techniques, you basically won't be killed by the Heavenly Tribulation. As long as you don't recklessly kill people and accumulate karma, which would strengthen the Heavenly Tribulation during your ascension, your chances of becoming an immortal are ninety-nine percent!"
Lord of Devouring: "Even in a complete cultivation world, these techniques of mine are top-notch."
Jiang Li chatted in the Chat Group for a while and then exited.
Even if Zhang Sanfeng and Yan Chixia's ascension journey didn't take a year or two, it would still take a few days to see results. He couldn't stay in the Chat Group constantly monitoring their messages!
A month later.
Devouring World,
Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island.
On the sky where the stars and moon were dim, a massive black scroll suddenly appeared.
The edges of the scroll emitted a bright light, and dazzling white characters shone upon it.
"Universe Humans!"
"The Peak Genius Battle, held once every ten thousand years..."
"Is about to commence!"
"This battle is jointly organized by the Virtual Universe Company and all human cosmic countries!"
"Are you a genius? Or do you fancy yourself one? Then come and participate in the 'Peak Genius Battle' for Universe Humans, held once every ten thousand years!"
The giant announcement in the night sky, stretching over a million miles in length and width, appeared not just above Black Dragon Mountain Island, but was visible to all Universe Humans, no matter where they were in the virtual universe network!
"The Peak Genius Battle is finally starting?"
"Hahaha, I've been stuck at the ninth level of the stellar level for three hundred years, just for this battle!"
"The greatest gathering of the younger generation of the Universe Human race, let's fight!"
"I heard that as long as you can make it into the top ten thousand in a Universe Country, you can get amazing rewards!"
"The rewards aren't important. I'm taking first place!"
"Quick, go check the official website."
The news caused an uproar throughout the entire Virtual Universe.
