Chapter 408: Chapter 328: Ascension, The Collapse of the Immortal Path, Falling into the Land of Evil

Yanyue Immortal Sect.

When Ling Yue learned that Lin Chang’sheng would be ascending to the Immortal Realm in five days, she felt a surge of surprise, though in truth, this was all within her expectations.

Lin Chang’sheng could never remain hidden here forever.

The resources in the Immortal Relic Land were limited—only in the vast Immortal Realm could he fully unleash his talents.

As for themselves, they did not possess such great ability; to enter the Immortal Realm would likely be a road to ruin, or, at best, they would become insignificant nobodies.

Thus, Ling Yue and the others were very self-aware and had no intention of heading to the Immortal Realm.

After all, their aptitude was only so high.

However, among the disciples under her tutelage, there were a few with considerable talent, and Ling Yue intended to send them to the Immortal Realm instead.

Though the journey ahead was fraught with peril, as long as even one of them survived, they would most certainly surpass them all in the future.

"Master, your disciple cannot bear to part with you!"

Upon hearing Ling Yue’s plan to send her to the Immortal Realm, Yu Lingfei felt both startled and overjoyed.

She was surprised because she never imagined she would one day be able to go to the Immortal Realm, especially at such a young age.

Yet, thinking of this journey—its dangers and slim chances of survival, and the very real prospect of never seeing her master Ling Yue again in her lifetime—Yu Lingfei became somewhat sorrowful.

"Fei’Er, you possess fine talent. Though you can’t compare to the supreme prodigies, once you receive guidance from true masters, your future accomplishments will surely not be lacking. You absolutely cannot let this opportunity slip by!"

Ling Yue instructed, her words heavy with heartfelt earnestness.

Ling Yue’s vision was far broader than Qianyang Daoist’s. This Immortal Relic Land would only bury the worth of these gifted disciples.

Whether due to thin spiritual energy or diminishing opportunity, they might spend their whole lives and never have another chance to ascend to the Upper Realm.

This truly was a rare and heaven-sent opportunity!

Of course, Ling Yue did not wish her disciples to miss it.

So this time, aside from Yu Lingfei, Yanyue Immortal Sect would also send Gao Ziyue and three other proud disciples on this journey together.

"Master, please take care of yourself in the days to come. If Ziyue can achieve anything at all, I will certainly return to repay the kindness of your guidance and cultivation!"

Gao Ziyue knelt deeply before Ling Yue, bowing respectfully to the ground.

The other disciples also knelt and bowed, giving thanks for Ling Yue’s nurture.

"Very well, your master will await your return!"

Ling Yue revealed a look of comfort and satisfaction.

...

Celestial Sword Sect.

Upon hearing that Lin Chang’sheng would ascend to the Immortal Realm in five days, Wang Chonglou immediately convened a grand assembly within the sect.

Countless elders sat with solemn dignity, while the sect’s prodigious disciples gathered together.

"I’m sure you all have heard—Lin Chang’sheng is about to ascend to the Immortal Realm. There is nothing more to say on that. Any disciple who wishes to venture to the Immortal Realm, step forward!"

Wang Chonglou spoke boldly.

This was a rare chance; naturally, their Celestial Sword Sect would not let it pass by. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

At his words, a dozen disciples hesitated for a moment, then stepped out without a trace of regret.

This made many of the elders quite displeased.

"You’re all walking toward your deaths. Do you have any idea how dangerous the Immortal Realm is? Do you really think you can survive there? And let’s not forget, Lin Chang’sheng has angered the Immortal Realm’s most powerful giant, the Celestial Nether Sword Sect. If you follow him there, there’s nothing waiting for you but death!"

Liu Zhihu, one of the sect’s three great elders, roared in anger. He was firmly opposed to sending disciples to the Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Realm is not a place ordinary men can hope to live; even a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator is but as insignificant as an ant there.

A stronger hand could crush them without thought.

For these Golden Core disciples, their chances of survival were less than one in a hundred.

"I object as well, Sect Leader. These exceptional disciples are the hope of our sect’s future. Even aside from whether they can survive in the Immortal Realm, if they leave, we’ll have no rising stars—how can our Celestial Sword Sect ever gain a foothold in the Southern Realm again?"

Zhu Youli, the fifth elder of the sect, also voiced his opposition.

The hall immediately lapsed into silence.

Hearing these words, Wang Chonglou’s brow furrowed slightly.

"Do you think I am here to discuss this with you? So long as the disciples are willing, this is a good thing. I am the first to agree. The path of cultivation is a rebellion against fate. If you wish for a calm, safe life—then live as a mortal for the rest of your days!"

Wang Chonglou glared fiercely, and the elders below dared not utter another word.

"Master, forgive this unfilial disciple. This is a rare opportunity; I don’t wish to miss it. If I let this slip by, who knows when I’ll next have the chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm."

"Master, just pretend you never taught this disciple! My mind is set—I’ll journey with the others!"

"Please forgive me, Master; I can no longer serve you any longer!"

"If I ever achieve anything, I will surely come back to see you, Master!"

...

The many disciples of Celestial Sword Sect all spoke at once. Some knelt on the ground, some wept, unable to bear such a farewell.

They all knew how dangerous the Immortal Realm was. And yet, if they missed this chance, they might spend their entire lives never ascending there.

"You all—"

The elders, seeing that the disciples’ minds were made up, were left speechless with anger.

"Elders, be at peace. I am willing to accompany them on this journey and safeguard the disciples’ safety!"

Just as the elders were sighing, the Wine Sword Immortal spoke up.

This finally put the elders’ minds at some ease.

They knew the Wine Sword Immortal’s strength. He had already broken through to the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, surpassing even the elders themselves in combat prowess.

Still, when they thought of how Nascent Soul cultivators roamed everywhere in the Immortal Realm, they could not help feeling a fresh wave of worry.

"Begin registration!"

Wang Chonglou waved his sleeve, instructing that the names of the disciples joining the party be recorded, so they could be sent to the Immortal Ascension Sect when the time came.

For when the ascension to the Immortal Realm began, it would be held in the Immortal Ascension Sect.

"Zhuo Yijian, Lu Haoran, Chen Lin, Hua Yu..."

One name after another was recorded, while the elders could only shake their heads and sigh in resignation.
