Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 518 Shi Suying

The sudden realization made Zhang Jincheng's mind uncontrollably become restless again, and his fingers, which had already cracked, became stiff and weak.

His mind was clearly telling him that as long as he turned the pages of the Record of Ascension to the page that recorded the name of the Golden Immortal in Heaven, Mingzhou's annihilation disaster could be averted... But his clear mind was like an isolated island in a tsunami, which could be completely submerged at any time.

Zhang Jincheng had to struggle with all his might just to stay awake... For a man who had spent half his life dealing with the immortal officials in heaven, his awe and even fear of the immortals was far deeper than that of anyone else.

Immortal officials are not easy to serve.

Each of these immortals who went to the lower world for rotation was under pressure to achieve "performance". If they could not produce results in the test field during their rotation, the upper immortals would find trouble with them. Unfortunately, these lower-grade immortal officials were neither able nor willing to communicate directly with mortals, so the only means they could use was to indirectly control Xinheng through the national teacher.

Therefore, the loyalty and reliability of the national teacher is particularly important. Limited by the rules, the immortals cannot directly erase the national teacher's spiritual consciousness and refine him into a puppet... But as long as this bottom line is not crossed, there are as many flexible methods as you want. And Zhang Jincheng has experienced all of these methods. After a hundred years, he still remembers them. Perhaps after a thousand years, until his soul is reincarnated, the cruel and painful mark will not disappear.

Before realizing the truth, Zhang Jincheng could still move forward in ignorance, but once he guessed the truth, he hesitated.

"Tsk..."

On the other side, seeing Zhang Jincheng gradually falling into confusion and stiffness, Wang Luo couldn't help but frown.

After several rounds of hesitation, Zhang Jincheng was like a useless man. It was no longer possible to rely on the awakening of the Ascension Record. In other words, forcing a mortal to continue flipping through the Immortal Dethronement Record under the power of an immortal was simply too much to ask.

However, if we don't force people to do what they want, the situation will become a desperate situation.

and so……

Without the slightest hesitation, a hint of coldness flashed in Wang Luo's eyes, and the red poison in his body began to heat up rapidly until it boiled.

If Zhang Jincheng is unable to control himself, then the only option is to use external forces to help him control himself.

But at this moment, a sound of shattering was heard again overhead. At first, the sound seemed to be far away in the sky, but as the golden light of the magic became more majestic and brilliant, the cracks in the dilapidated glass net in the sky became more and more dense.

Countless blood-colored drops flowed down the cracks of the glass net, and the drizzle suddenly became heavy. And the place where the rain fell happened to be the Qianxing Platform in Dongdu!
"Tsk..."

Wang Luo was shocked again, and immediately sank his consciousness into the high platform below him. Following the hidden spiritual power veins in the Qianxing Platform, he tried his best to activate the underground city defense formation of Dongdu!
Buzz! Ding!
After two shocking noises, the tall city wall on the outer edge of the East Capital disintegrated in an instant. In the pure white bricks and stones, there were 180,000 crystal clear jade cards, each of which was only the size of a palm. Usually, they were hidden in the giant bricks and rocks on the city wall, and they were not very impressive. But at the moment when the formation was activated, these jade cards flowed out from the gaps between the bricks and stones, as if being pulled by a magical force, and quickly rose to the air, merging with each other, and instantly formed a rushing torrent! The torrent swept through the air, gradually transformed into a dragon head, and spit out a dragon roar like wind and thunder from its mouth.

This jade dragon living in the city wall of Dongdu is the trump card of this city.

Dongdu is adjacent to Fancheng, located in the heart of Xinheng. The importance of the Qianxing Tower in the city is no less than that of the Temple of Heaven, so since the founding of the country, a strict protective formation has been deployed. After six hundred years of accumulation, the magic of this formation has surpassed the realm of the mortal world.

Theoretically, even if an immortal official came down to earth, it would be extremely difficult to capture Yulong and break Dongdu's protective formation by brute force. Therefore, Yang Shijun mobilized a full 100,000 troops outside Dongdu, but could only watch Zhang Jincheng huddled on the high platform until he ran out of energy, and did not dare to rely on his military advantage to attack the city head-on.

However, this time, the enemy that Yulong is going to face is even more powerful than a lower-rank immortal official!
The drizzle of rain falling above your head may seem ordinary, but it actually contains the supreme avenue held by the Golden Immortal!

Even the tiniest hint of mystery is enough to enlighten a species, influence a civilization... and destroy a city!
The Jade Dragon in the sky stretched out its body, and its scales turned back into jade plates, forming an active net shield in the sky. At the same time, it blew out clouds and mist from its mouth, trying to stop the rain from the Golden Immortal. However, those blood-stained silk threads seemed to be in another world. They easily bypassed the Jade Dragon's clouds and scales, and even disdained to waste their own strength on this bloated thing, but retained all their magical powers and continued to point to the high platform!

The city defense formation of Dongdu was broken almost instantly, and it was unable to even delay the enemy.

This round of heavy rain was different from the previous drizzle. Not only was the rain dense, but the raindrops also contained the malicious intent of the Golden Immortal who was determined to succeed. Just a trace of it would be enough to make a low-level immortal official disappear into thin air.

But at the same time when the city defense formation was broken, a green torrent swept in from the plains outside the East Capital.

It was the great general Yang Jiuchong who soared into the air, waving the flag of the Green Flag Army that had been passed down for six hundred years, and resolutely stood in front of the sudden rain that fell from the sky!
A mere mortal cultivator in the fusion stage was undoubtedly like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of the blood rain of the Golden Immortal... But with Yang Jiuzhong's sudden appearance, the eye in the crack in the sky revealed obvious shock and anger.

The next moment, Yang Jiuzhong raised the green flag with all his strength. The flag fluttered in the wind and turned into a soft green shield in the air. The shield was plain and even looked fragile... But it was this small flag that directly blocked the golden immortal's torrential rain! It even supported a clear sky for the entire Dongdu!
The blood-red raindrops fell on the green flag, but failed to pass through it like a jade dragon. Instead, they were blocked by the flag and turned into wisps of green smoke on the flag.

On each puff of green smoke, a painful and distorted face was vaguely visible... Those were the heroic spirits that resided on the flags, the spirits of the soldiers who died in the Green Flag Army while guarding the borders over the past six hundred years. These heroic spirits were the soul of the Green Flag Army, and the spiritual totems that the Duke of Wei relied on to return to the northern border. But at this moment, under Yang Jiuzhong's waving, they became consumables to resist the rain of golden immortals.

In the sky, Yang Jiuzhong turned his back and waved the flag with all his might, without revealing his expression to anyone else, nor saying a single word to Wang Luo and Zhang Jincheng who were sheltering under him.

But everything is unspoken.

In the face of natural disasters, no matter what kind of hatred it is, it must be put aside, no matter what kind of enemy it is, it must be temporarily fought side by side, and no matter what kind of doubt it is, it must be temporarily put aside.

It was just like the natural disaster that almost destroyed the Kyushu continent one thousand two hundred or three hundred years ago.

Therefore, Wang Luo did not waste time and energy thinking about how Yang Jiuzhong could resist the Golden Immortal's magic with just a mortal flag, nor did he doubt the other party's position and sincerity at this time.

He silently raised the Yinxing Jade and once again called upon the power of the Dongdu City Defense Formation to wrap the jade dragon around Yang Jiuzhong.

Although Yulong could not directly counter the magic of the Golden Immortal, he could protect the general and make him wave the green flag more smoothly. At the same time, after Yulong ascended to heaven, the invisible shield that originally blocked the city also opened its door to people outside the city.

"All troops, enter the city!"

At the same time, Yang Shijun gave orders loudly. Her voice was no longer weak, but like the beautiful cry of a crane, which instantly dispelled the confusion and fear in the hearts of the army.

Although she was not a direct military commander, at this moment, both the local soldiers and the rebels from the four southern counties all turned their hearts to the beautiful woman, and then headed towards the city as quickly as possible to avoid the wind and rain.

At the same time, Wang Luo also seized this opportunity, circulated the poison in his body, and pushed it towards Zhang Jincheng!

However, just when the poison was about to infect Zhang Jincheng, Wang Luo suddenly stopped.

No... This is not right! How could I come up with such a ridiculous idea? !

If Zhang Jincheng were really allowed to turn the wasteland into a wasteland, then under the wasteland system, the golden immortal above him would probably be able to immediately order the new wasteland demon Zhang Jincheng to commit suicide on the spot! Without Zhang Jincheng, this record of exiled immortals would be just a wordless book in his hands!
Even though Wang Luo was well aware of his superior status in the Desolate System, he obviously did not dare and could not gamble on who was more superior between him and Miaofa Jinxian!
So, how could I have come up with such a ridiculous idea just now? If I had realized it a little later, the situation would have been completely irreversible... However, I didn't have time to think about this question at this moment.

"Zhang Jincheng..."

"Master Mountain Master." Almost at the same time, Zhang Jincheng came back to his senses and his eyes became clear again.

With a clear and bright gaze, he looked directly at the general who was fighting above him. Although it was Yang Jiuzhong who led the army to mutiny not long ago, severely wounding him and killing the immortal envoys around him...but at this moment, the tall and resolute back still made Zhang Jincheng completely sober.

He responded in a deep voice: "I'm fine now. Let's turn the page... Please continue to help me."

Wang Luo did not hesitate and immediately chose to trust the other party, trust the heroic spirit in the picture.

"Okay, next page."

The two of them put their ten fingers together and turned the pages of the book that were as heavy as a mountain so easily.

On the next page, there were another twenty names. Wang Luo glanced at them and said, "Next page."

"Next page."

"Next page."

In a short moment, more than a hundred people had been skipped on the Record of Exiled Immortals, but Wang Luo had no intention of stopping and continued to order his men to turn forward.

Zhang Jincheng cooperated silently, but he began to hesitate again.

"Master Wang, are we just going to turn the page?"

"You can't randomly cross out names." Wang Luo answered subconsciously, "The Record of the Exiled Immortals can only kill those who should be killed, especially when it comes to immortals. If we cross out the wrong name once, we will never be able to turn to the next page."

Zhang Jincheng was stunned. This rule was not recorded anywhere. How did Lord Wang Shan know it? Did the immortal officials who surrendered before tell him? However, those people probably didn't know the true effect of the Immortal Demotion Record at all, so how could they know this rule?
Restraining his confusion, Zhang Jincheng continued to use his spiritual consciousness to drive his spiritual body, turning the Record of the Exiled Immortals to the next page, and then the next page...

Suddenly, he had come to the last page of the Record of the Exiled Immortals. He had a vague impression of the names recorded on this page.

That was the name his mother had mentioned when she was telling him stories about the Immortal Alliance when he was very young.

During the Battle of Dinghuang, that man killed tens of thousands of righteous men of the Immortal Alliance. Even when Lord Lu Zhiyao asked the Heavenly Venerable to draw his bow, he was not able to be killed. He was undoubtedly a top-grade golden immortal!

Since the page has reached the section on the upper-grade golden immortals, it has indeed reached the end. But up to this point, Wang Luo still did not order Zhang Jincheng to write. Facing the record of the exiled immortals, which had no more pages, he fell into a brief silence.

Zhang Jincheng couldn't help but ask, "Master Wang, who is that person? Do you know him?"

Suddenly, a sneer of contempt came from the sky. The laugh came from above the sky, but resounded in everyone's heart.

"A mere ant..."

Without even looking up, Wang Luo growled, "Shi Suying, shut up."

boom!
As the real name of Miaofa Jinxian was revealed by Wang Luo, an extra page appeared between the first page and the cover of the Record of Exiled Immortals! And on that page, Shi Suying's name was listed!
As Shi Suying's name slowly emerged, a silent but heavy thunder also exploded in the sky.

The layers of dark clouds were swept away in an instant, and the entire Mingzhou sky became clear and bright. Behind the terrible crack, the hundred-meter-long eye gradually retreated.

At the same time, the drizzle in the sky stopped.

Instead, a golden liquid flowed down like a waterfall, and then slowly condensed into a human figure in mid-air.

He was a handsome young man with a look of determination and simplicity in his eyes.

With some curiosity, he looked at Wang Luo on the platform: "You recognize me? I thought I had covered it well."

Wang Luo did not respond, but just nodded at Zhang Jincheng.

The real name has been revealed and it has appeared in the Ascension Record, so there is no need to say more about what to do.

Zhang Jincheng understood immediately, picked up the ink pen, and made a heavy stroke on Shi Suying's name!
However, the pen tip that was filled with ink did not leave the slightest mark on the page. The ink seemed to be evaporated by the high temperature and turned into nothing with a slight hissing sound.

"Oh, don't try. You can't call on the name of the Golden Immortal. The Record of the Exiled Immortal is not something from the mortal world. Only the Golden Immortal can use all its magical powers. Return it to me, and I can pardon you."

Wang Luo sneered, "The Lingshan Ancestor who ascended to the Immortal Realm by burning the Nine Heavens with the Fire in the Stone, didn't he know how to come up and get what he wanted? I don't need to pardon you. If you want the Record of Dethroning Immortals, take it from me!"

In mid-air, Shi Suying's face suddenly turned gloomy, and her resolute and simple temperament disappeared.

"Okay, I'll come over then."
