Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension-Chapter 318: Virtual True Immortal, Breaking Through

Some time later.

Eternal Peak.

In a dungeon built under a mountain not far from the main peak, Tian Yunchen quietly approached an old man bound by spiritual chains connecting to an Array Formation, his gaze complex.

He had already reached the peak of Void Refinement Realm, and it wouldn’t be long before he started to impact the Nascent Soul Realm.

The bound old man was none other than Tian Jinchen, who’s Sea of Consciousness had been forcefully shredded into nothingness by Tian Yongheng.

It had been decades since then, and Tian Jinchen was already on his last breath. He was expected to die within the next decade.

At this moment, Tian Yunchen had extremely complex emotions regarding this matter.

Logically speaking, he had a blood feud with the Tian Family, and even more so with Tian Jinchen, who stripped him of his Connate Providence and left him for dead.

But now, too many years had passed, countless things had changed. He had even obtained great fortune and opportunities, meeting his younger brother and obtaining the Flawless Holy Whirlwind Constitution, even gaining some sort of special Providence that made his cultivation particularly easy, never encountering bottlenecks or Heart Demons.

Although he still held immense hatred towards the Tian and Qin Families for the destruction of his family, ruining his life, his resentment towards Tian Jinchen had already dissipated by a great margin.

Yet, he felt quite strange.

Centuries ago, he was in the same position as Tian Jinchen.

Fate truly plays tricks on people, you never know when it will turn against you.

One can only try to resist the tides of fate with all their might and leave the rest to their inherent destiny, this is the case for mortals, and the same goes for Immortal Cultivators.

Perhaps only after reaching that legendary Realm of Immortality could one break free from the shackles of fate and dictate their own destiny.

Looking at Tian Jinchen’s disheveled, half dead state, Tian Yunchen felt no ripples in his heart, only a deep sense of indifference.

His hatred completely disappeared at this point, and it was as if invisible chains binding him had been broken.

Spirit Qi suddenly surged towards the dungeon as Tian Yunchen closed his eyes, sitting cross-legged and beginning to circulate his cultivation technique, slowly floating out of the dungeon, directly going into the sky, with a trail of immense Spirit Qi constantly following him and assimilating into his body, entering the Sea of Consciousness.

This scene was witnessed by countless disciples of the Eternal Peak, causing a commotion across the tens of thousands of miles.

Both Zhao Ye and Qing Yunzi, in different locations across the Eternal Peak, simultaneously looked towards Tian Yunchen, and a thought appeared in their mind.

He’s breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm!

With the Eternal Peak only having one Nascent Soul Realm, Zhao Ye, on the surface, it was naturally a good thing for more Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to appear for it to establish its prestige.

In the current tides of the world, the Void Refinement Realm was simply just not enough.

From afar, Su Yanlan quietly watched the celestial phenomenon triggered by Tian Yunchen’s breakthrough, her own Eighth Stage Void Refinement Realm cultivation base slowly stirring within her.

Both of them were Eternal Peak Supremes, but now that Tian Yunchen had surpassed her, she felt a sense of urgency.

She had to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm within the next 50 years at all costs.

...

Several more years swiftly passed by.

On this day, Tian Yongheng suddenly opened his eyes, feeling the vast aura emanating from him, he looked at the system notification before him.

[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Great Completion of Immortal Ascension Realm.]

[Obtained the ancient treasure, one of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons.]

Seeing this, he no longer paid attention to the system any further and took out the Ancient Immortal Pill from the system space.

It’s time.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he directly threw the pill into his mouth.

*Whoosh!*

Immediately, vast Spirit Qi began to surge from outside the hall, the pill instantly transformed into Dao rhymes and Immortal Qi as it began to reshape Tian Yongheng’s body, Spiritual Energy, Nascent Soul, and all other aspects.

Tian Yongheng vaguely sensed the Outer Void and the Ladder of Ascension, but at the same time, he also sensed something deeply metaphysical, connected to the Mortal World yet beyond it as well.

The Heavenly Dao!

The Heavenly Dao was connected to all worlds, all realms, whether it be the Myriad Worlds, Lower Realm, or the Upper Realm.

Only beings at the Half Immortal Realm could begin to sense the peculiarities of the Heavenly Dao, this indifferent, neutral entity overseeing the world.

As he was breaking through to the Half Immortal Realm, Tian Yongheng instinctively felt that aside from the realm advancement, he seemed to have evolved further in another aspect.

The insights of the Heavenly Questions surged into his mind, and the number he had comprehended directly surpassed a hundred, rapidly increasing, causing his body to emit a warm, jade-like luster, a brilliant light enveloping him.

He was ascending, ascending beyond a Ascended Divinity Human.

Virtual True Immortal!

As he broke the final racial barriers of the Human Race, Tian Yongheng was only a step away, an immeasurably vast step away from becoming a True Immortal.

Even if all of his other Innate Talents, Constitution, and even Bloodline was stripped away, he still felt that becoming a so-called Immortal Sovereign should not be out of reach for a Virtual True Immortal.

This was not his arrogance speaking, but facts he had comprehended upon becoming a Virtual True Immortal.

The potential of a Virtual True Immortal was already far beyond normal Heavenly Humans and Demonic Humans. The comparison would be similar to comparing Five-Elemental Spiritual Roots with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

In fact, as an Ascended Divinity Human, Tian Yongheng’s pure racial talent could be considered above average even among most Heavenly Humans and Demonic Humans.

Virtual True Immortal had broken through the bounds of humanity and already entered a divine domain, a step away from the realm of True Immortals.

Now, Tian Yongheng had already become a Virtual True Immortal, all that was left was to complete the breakthrough process to enter the Half Immortal Realm!
