Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 567 Arrival
When a platinum luster appeared in the black hole, Wang Luo stepped back without hesitation and pushed his assistant Xiaoya away.

As for that white light, perhaps no one in the entire Immortal Alliance could be more familiar with it than him. Even the Hunyuan Immortals who once belonged to the Heavenly Court had never sunk into the Taichu Lake and witnessed with their own eyes the brilliant and splendid scene of the starry sky being fully excavated in the illusion and the sky full of white gold.

There are billions of platinum colors in the world, but Wang Luo will never mistake the platinum color belonging to Taichu Tianzun!

In fact, Wang Luo had foreseen this scene long before the light in the black hole appeared, so his reaction speed was already very fast... but it was still not fast enough.

When he tried to push Xiaoya away, he found that he had no strength to move his hands or feet. He had sunk into a lake that seemed to be at the beginning of time. The scenery around him gradually distorted and dissipated like bubbles, and was replaced by an increasingly bright platinum light.

It was just a brief moment of eye contact, and there was no way to escape.

However, Wang Luo was not surprised by this. When he figured out this stupid method of attacking the Demon Slayer personally, he had naturally fully considered the possible consequences of this stupid method. A direct contact with Taichu Tianzun was a high-probability event.

The result of the contact was not too bad. He was able to correctly sense the white light and preserve his consciousness intact. This showed that his ability to withstand pressure was quite good and he was not instantly crushed by the pressure of the Heavenly Venerable. And since his consciousness was not shattered at the first time, all he had to do next was to wait.

Wrapped in the platinum light, the passage of time has been distorted. It is difficult for Wang Luo to judge correctly how long he has been trapped here, let alone guess the purpose of Tianzun binding him here... Rather, before he began to think seriously, he felt that the light beside him suddenly rippled, and a faint voice came from a distant place.

"Master Wang Shan, Master Wang Shan!"

"Are you OK?!"

The voice came from far away and approached, and in an instant it reached my ears. And those calls were like strong winds that instantly blew away the white and gold color in the sky, revealing a starry night sky and a few unfamiliar faces under the night sky.

Wang Luo let out a light breath, regained his senses, and looked around, realizing that what he saw now was still the scenery in the illusory world of Taixu.

Then, it is not difficult to guess the identities of these unfamiliar faces in front of us.

"Are you from Xinheng Taixusi?"

One of the young women who looked like a captain nodded, with a look of both worry and admiration, and said, "Yes, I am Zhu Yang, the captain on duty of Lingkong Thirteen Pavilion. I rushed here as soon as I received the alarm. Are you okay?"

Wang Luo shook his head: "Fortunately, he was just ejected from the scroll... How is the assistant beside me?"

Zhu Yang was a little surprised: "Are you referring to Wen Ya, the customer service staff of the workshop? She..."

"Slave, everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, sir!"

Accompanied by a trembling female voice, Wang Luo turned his gaze and saw that the woman in extremely "simple" clothes was still standing on the boat, her eyes fixed on him, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Wang Luo waved his hand: "Give her a full checkup, and then deal with the aftermath according to the regulations."

"Eh? Sir, Sir, I..."

Before Wen Ya could finish her words, she was grabbed by several strong men from Taixu Division and staggered out of Taixu Illusionary Land.

Afterwards, Wang Luo asked Zhu Yang, "Are there any casualties in Lingkong Pavilion?"

Zhu Yang's eyes dimmed slightly. "Thirteen Pavilions didn't suffer any casualties... but the other Lingkong Pavilions suffered quite a few casualties. Before this disaster occurred, although Lingkong Pavilion had received your warning and had made many preparations, it was still difficult to be completely safe."

Wang Luo was silent for a moment: "My condolences."

"Everything is for the Immortal Alliance..." Zhu Yang said reluctantly, "The good news is that this time, thanks to you, we have obtained very conclusive observation results. The sacrifice of our colleagues has not been wasted."

-

Zhu Yang's so-called conclusive results soon caused a huge response in the Immortal Alliance.

According to the report submitted by Xinheng Lingkong Pavilion, the true body of Huanzai - Taichu Tianzun - has been captured in a vague outline.

Although it was just a blurry outline that was difficult to tell whether it was a human figure, and even the most prudent officials of the Taixu Palace did not dare to guarantee the reliability of the outline, the stain on the map was undoubtedly a major progress in the Immortal Alliance's cognitive warfare against the Heavenly Lord, and even a brilliant victory.

Capturing the figure of Tianzun with mortal eyes has extremely important symbolic significance. Only by confirming that Tianzun is indeed "observable" can the Immortal Alliance continue to bet on moving forward on this road destined to be full of thorns, and can prove that those observers who fell in Lingkong Pavilion did not sacrifice in vain.

Secondly, Lingkong Pavilion also made clear the reason why Tianzun appeared in the scroll of Demon Slayer - it was so simple that it made people laugh and cry. In order to save costs, the workshop operating the scroll placed a Tiangong computer in the Taixu Building of Mingtai County in the west of Xinheng, and used the Lishen formation to support more than half of Xinheng's business needs.

There is nothing wrong with this approach technically, and the procedures are legal. The only problem is that the Tiangong computer is too close to Jingzhou...it is the closest computer to all the computers operating stably in Xinheng.

In addition, after Taixu Mansion summarized opinions from all parties, it gave a fairly reliable explanation for Wang Luo's stupid method: Tianzun practiced alone in the Taichu illusion for a thousand years, and his realm was so unbelievably high that it could not be higher... But this was obviously flawed. During the thousand years of practice, Tianzun had never encountered an opponent.

Although the Chicheng Immortal Ancestor in history was also willing to practice alone, and would often spend ten years in seclusion, he never lacked opponents during his ascension, and had many life-and-death battles. When he was about to ascend to the heavens after reaching the perfection of Mahayana, he single-handedly suppressed many Taoist traditions, and the creatures of the Nine Provinces had no choice but to respect the immortal way. Later, he ascended to the immortal world and became the Immortal Ancestor, and no one in the world could be his opponent... But in the history of the Heavenly Court, there were also many people who could exchange ideas with the Immortal Ancestor on a relatively equal footing.

However, in the Taichu illusion, Tianzun was alone, with neither opponents nor teammates. Everything in the fairy world was left behind him, so far away that the scenery was hazy and distorted. And the so-called practice was nothing more than mining in the Xinghai Tianyu day after day, and then decorating himself to be more burly and tall. It should be said that after the heavenly catastrophe, the imagination of the surviving Miaofa Jinxian was still a little thin, and it could no longer support a sufficiently rich and magnificent practice world.

The Taichu Tianzun, who was in the middle of it, would naturally subconsciously crave for an opponent, or any other person worth communicating with. Therefore, those "masters" who shined in the Taixu Illusionary Realm naturally attracted the attention of Tianzun.

Tianzun may not really see the ants on the ground, but for a person who has achieved the level of Yuanxian, even unconscious attention can bring devastating pressure. And what the Immortal Alliance has to do is to make Tianzun bow his head, bend his waist, and finally get close to the mortal world and look at the ants. In short, Wang Luo's stupid method has both theoretical support and actual results, so this stupid method has suddenly become an obvious shortcut that can be copied. At the Nine Zun Competition that ended not long ago, countless professional-level scroll walkers were worried about their subsequent livelihoods, and now there is an iron rice bowl immediately offered.

Although personally visiting Taichu Tianzun would inevitably be accompanied by great risks, the worst possible outcome would be a permanent ban from entering the Taixu Illusionary Realm...but compared to the high rewards and compensation measures offered by the Immortal Alliance, this small risk could not stop talented and ambitious people from all walks of life.

In the foreseeable future, the Immortal Alliance's observation efficiency of the Heavenly Lord will increase tenfold or a hundredfold.

And only in this way can we catch up with the approaching day of the final battle.

-

After the stupid method, Wang Luo's vacation was basically over. Although Lu Youyou still did not summon him back to the Mountain Fortress, that was only because Wang Luo had a more important mission - to stay in the Legend of Demon Slayer, observe Tianzun at the closest distance, and bring that incredibly majestic figure into the scroll little by little.

It should be said that this is a task that only Wang Luo can accomplish. In the same "encounter" with Tianzun in the scroll, Wang Luo's every encounter brought ten times more excitement in the Qingquan Formation of Lingkong Pavilion than others, and only Wang Luo could take a short rest after the excitement and return to the scroll in good condition to guide the next encounter.

The so-called guidance is nothing more than following the normal painting process to speed up the development of the land, from the Three Realms Ruins to the Six Paths Holy Palace to the Nine Heavens Jade Branch... and then go to the black hole of the Three Realms Ruins every once in a while to observe the platinum light flashing in the hole, looking forward to its changes.

This process is boring and full of risks, but it makes people immersed in it and not notice the passing of time...

With each encounter and each immersion in the platinum light, Wang Luo could clearly feel that Tianzun was getting closer and closer, and his words were becoming clearer... and Tianzun's whispers also made Wang Luo's strength grow day by day, as if an immortal was teaching him a magic trick.

This kind of transmission of the law is naturally accompanied by risks. The Jingzhou Immortal Path is a barren poison to the Immortal Alliance, not to mention that the Immortal Path of the Heavenly Venerable has long been abstracted to the point where it is enough to poison the True Immortals of Heaven. For a period of time, except for Wang Luo, anyone else who sensed the whispers of the Heavenly Venerable in the Taixu Scroll would suffer irreversible contamination, and the scroll account would go out of control on the spot, merge on its own, or even transform into a regional demon king on the spot and kill people indiscriminately.

As for the travelers themselves, at best they would never be able to enter Taixu, and at worst their spirits would be damaged and they would have to be sent to the hospital on the spot. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured and died directly from the injuries in the scroll - so soon Taixu Mansion strictly restricted the business scope of various professional scroll travelers in attracting Tianzuns, which reduced casualties while inevitably reducing efficiency.

But for Wang Luo, the risk of Jie Yin Tian Zun was minimal. Even the first encounter with the most serious side effects was nothing more than being forced to eject the scroll, and the account itself was not even affected. Later, as the white light in the black hole gradually expanded, the Immortal Alliance's observation of Tian Zun became more and more in-depth and detailed, and the side effects of a single observation became less and less.

About half a month later, after Wang Luo quickly killed the Nine Heavens Demons as usual every day, when he went to the Three Realms Ruins, the scroll would not even pop up, and only some of the account health would be deducted.

At the same time, those professional practitioners who had been bravely observing Tianzun in other scrolls also reported that the damage caused by the phantom disaster was obviously not as strong as before. Not to mention endangering the practitioners' bodies outside the environment, sometimes even the scroll accounts would not be destroyed... causing some people who made a living from medical subsidies to complain a little.

But it was also from this time that the entire Immortal Alliance's Taixu Mansion became extremely nervous, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Because, when people can avoid being hurt by Tianzun, it just means that Tianzun is close enough to the illusion, and humans have a sufficient understanding of him... If we face Tianzun with a friendly attitude, such a development is of course a good thing. But since neither side has considered friendship from the beginning, the next step after the distance is shortened and the understanding is sufficient is to go to war head-on.

The opportunity to start the war also came from Wang Luo.

Two months after the first encounter with Tianzun, observing the Three Realms Ruins in the Demon Slayer Legend has become an adventure routine for many courageous folk enthusiasts. Especially when Wang Luo finished his daily tasks and went to the ruins to see the white light as usual, he would always be surrounded by people.

Some people wanted to take advantage of Wang Luo's help to see the increasingly clear outline of the Heavenly Venerable and bathe in the white light. Some people simply wanted to take a photo with Wang Luo, the famous master of Lingshan Mountain, as a way to brag about it after dinner.

However, due to various considerations, the Xinheng Taixu Division did not stop this spontaneous enthusiasm among the people. Instead, it intentionally or unintentionally guided ignorant people to gather there, like sacrifices that spontaneously walked up to the altar, accelerating the attraction of the Heavenly Venerable.

So, in the evening of that day, taking advantage of the blood light that covered the sky when the Heaven-Swallowing Strange Dao fell, Wang Luo came to the ruins of the Three Realms. At this time, there were already hundreds of travelers bustling around near his fixed observation position, and some even stretched out their hands to greet him as if they were familiar with him.

Wang Luo naturally ignored the noises, floated to his position, and began to observe day after day.

Two months later, the black hole was no longer the same black hole as before. The platinum light in the hole had overflowed, eroding the gray and glorious courtyard every day, making the place seem to have returned to its former glory - and all this was completely out of the control of the workshop.

In the middle of the platinum cave, there was a faint vertical light, which was also platinum in color, but the color was richer and more shining than the surroundings. Once you look at it for a long time, even the most advanced walkers will lose their health quickly.

What Wang Luo observed every day was that vertical beam of light. Others might not know, but he certainly knew that it was the outline of Tianzun.

Compared with the mere glimpse that was captured two months ago thanks to the sacrifices of many Lingkong Pavilion martyrs, the figure of the Heavenly Lord is now quite clear.

The tall and straight outline was exactly the same as the Taichu Tianzun that Wang Luo saw in the Chonghu illusion, except that some details were missing.

It's like it's missing the finishing touch.

And that stroke has already reached the critical point, it may be today, it may be tomorrow...it may even be the next moment.

With such a mood, Wang Luo stood carefully, blessed his incarnation in the scroll with various magical powers, and then turned his gaze to the platinum vertical light.

These were all standard operations as usual, but the moment his eyes turned, a warning flashed through Wang Luo's mind.

The next moment, the time in the Demon-Slaying Legend stopped, and the stagnant platinum-colored vertical light began to move, as if a sapling was growing and its branches were waving. The simple shadow gradually transformed into a clearer human outline.

Then, click.

A platinum-colored boot fell to the floor of the glorious courtyard.
