Chapter 330 The Four Heavenly Kings, the chance to ascend
"Huh? You can't help it now. I thought you were very patient!"

On the deck, Shen Sui Xin opened his eyes, the expression on his face was half-smile, with an inexplicable sense of irony.

Then, he looked up at the night that had completely darkened, and golden flames slowly danced in his eyes.

"Now that we've started, let's hurry up. I want to see what other secrets this world hides."

……

"My way has been accomplished!"

The pleasure brought about by the rapid improvement of his cultivation made Master Taiyin put aside all his worries. Like a sponge, he continuously absorbed the magic power and essence from the jade hairpin, and at the same time, he circulated the "Taiyin Zhenjie" he had cultivated, quickly refining it for his own use.

You must know that what is contained in this jade hairpin is all the magic power and life essence that the Snake Mother possessed after she broke through the Nascent Soul stage. Because of her special bloodline talent, these magic power and life essence are extremely pure, and are of much greater help to True Lord Taiyin than he had expected.

However, in just half a quarter of an hour, True Lord Taiyin felt that his magic power had increased by more than 50%, and his cultivation level rose steadily. He had already vaguely sensed a mysterious and fascinating realm.

God!

This was the true pinnacle of human cultivators thousands of years ago.

The Nascent Soul takes one step further towards the Nascent Soul, and can travel thousands of miles with just a thought.

The magic power in his body circulates on its own and resonates with the outside world. It is inexhaustible and can be used endlessly. With his own strength, he can move mountains and seas, tear apart the sky and clear the clouds... He is already a first-class figure among the immortals on land.

At that time, as long as the cultivators at this level have completed their merits and passed the baptism of heavenly tribulation, they will be able to shed their mortal bodies, ascend to heaven and become a true immortal.

And this True Lord Taiyin is currently heading towards this realm, and is even trying to bypass the rules and jump directly to the last step.

Heavenly calamity? It doesn't exist!
"My way has been accomplished!"

True Lord Taiyin repeated these words, and at the critical moment of impacting the Divine Transformation, he increased the speed of absorption again, like a whale swallowing a siphon, and extracted all the remaining 30% of the magic power in the jade hairpin, and then crashed it all into the seemingly unbreakable barrier.

In the dark, there seemed to be a sound of something breaking, echoing in the mind of Master Taiyin. Then he felt extremely relaxed all over, and a warmth that he had not felt for a long time spread to his limbs and bones, making him almost cry out in comfort.

"Yin gives birth to Yang, and heaven and man are born. Is this the highest realm of Taiyin Zhenjie?"

Master Taiyin raised his hand and touched his face. He felt a familiar yet unfamiliar soft touch, as if he had returned to his original flesh and blood. He was suddenly filled with excitement.

At this moment, an invisible energy burst out from three inches above his spiritual platform, penetrated the roof of the ship, and soared into the sky.

buzzing-

As if receiving some kind of signal, a buzzing sound was heard from the dark sky, and rays of light suddenly appeared out of nowhere, colorful and bright as day.

“Is this… a sign of ascension?! The Imperial Master is about to ascend!”

There was a sudden uproar in the fleet.

On every ship, all the soldiers, sailors, servants, and even monks rushed to the decks and sides, talking loudly and vying to witness the wonder of the sky.

Shen Sui Xin, however, had a calm expression. He raised his sleeves and two streams of light, one white and one blue, flew out. They then turned into two graceful figures and landed on both sides of him.

The two snakes looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky with shock on their faces, and then looked at Shen Sui Xin, who was still sitting on the ground waiting, and couldn't help feeling strange.

"Sir, do you really not need to stop it?"

Xiaobai asked tentatively. Her personality was not as violent as Xiaoqing's, and because her memory had not yet recovered, she did not have much hatred towards the Imperial Master.

However, based on what Shen Sui Xin said before, he was obviously planning to take action against the National Master, and now was the best time. If he waited until the other party successfully ascended, the difficulty would undoubtedly increase greatly, and there was no guarantee that there would not be the possibility of failure.

"Yes, Master, let's kill that ugly bastard right now. Let him fail just when he thinks he is about to become an immortal. Just thinking about it makes me happy!"

Xiaoqing also tried to dissuade him, and even used a clumsy beauty trick to whisper in Shen Suixin's ear.

"No rush, let's take a look first and then talk."

Shen Suixin patted his buttocks and told Xiaoqing to be honest. Then he looked at the door that was looming in the depths of the sunset glow, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Maybe later, I will have to save his life."

"Save him? What do you mean? Isn't he going to become an immortal?"

When the blue and white snakes heard this, their faces were full of confusion, but they also vaguely heard some conspiracy.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a loud roar in his ears. It turned out that the house on the top floor of the ship was broken open by a huge force. Taiyin Zhenjun, who had turned into a normal person, was suspended in the air, laughing with extreme joy.

"The gate of immortality is about to open, and I will ascend to heaven right now!"

As if in response to the words of Master Taiyin, in the brilliant rays of light in the sky, an ancient, majestic, and mountain-sized stone gate slowly emerged.

Seeing the huge stone gate like a mountain, Shen Sui Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, and thousands of thoughts flashed quickly through his mind.

"It is a magic weapon that is not inferior to the magic mirror. The power and artistic conception it contains are also magnificent and upright. It is quite extraordinary. It should indeed belong to the heaven in this world. However... its aura is very weak, and it feels strange as if it was smashed and then stuck together again."

As I was thinking this in my mind, I saw a trickle of gentle rain, accompanied by flower petals all over the sky, falling from the clouds, and at the same time, bursts of natural sounds were heard.

A moment later, amid the adoring gazes of the crowd, graceful, agile and beautiful fairy birds flew out from the ancient stone gate.

However, among those immortal birds, most of them were relatively common cranes, and there were also divine birds such as Qingluan, Chongming, Bifang, and Suzaku, which were never seen in mortal world.

The scene looked extremely gorgeous and dazzling, but Shen Sui Xin just wanted to complain after seeing it.

"A cultivator who ascended to the Divine Realm by cheating, and now even the Phoenix has come out to greet him... The Great Sage Equaling Heaven wasn't so arrogant when he went to the Heavenly Palace. What level is he, and how can he deserve such a show?"

However, Shen Sui Xin still underestimated the generosity of "Heaven". After hundreds of divine birds and phoenixes flew around the sky, one after another, graceful flying fairies dressed in rosy clothes flew out from the gate of the sky and danced with the divine birds and phoenixes.

Afterwards, two teams of golden-armored "heavenly soldiers" with powerful auras stepped on the clouds, walked out of the South Heaven Gate, and lined up in the sky to welcome the guests.

If you don't know, you might think it's some high-end club in cosplay, and they almost shouted "Welcome, boss." But it wasn't over yet. Just as two teams of golden-armored heavenly soldiers lined up in front of the gate, four "divine generals" wearing gorgeous armor walked out of the gate with a step that didn't recognize any relatives.

Among these four divine generals, one has silver-white skin and holds a pipa in his arms; one has indigo skin and holds a sword in his hand; one has red skin and has a creature that looks like a snake but not a snake, and like a dragon but not a dragon wrapped around his arm; and one has dark green skin and holds a large umbrella inlaid with various gems.

The images and magic weapons of the Four Divine Generals are so vivid that anyone who has some knowledge of Journey to the West can recognize their identities at a glance.

They were the four most famous doormen in heaven, collectively known as the Four Heavenly Kings, the Four Generals of the Demon Family!
Seeing the appearance of the Four Heavenly Kings, everyone in the fleet was shocked. The two blue and white snakes felt messy in the wind, and Shen Sui Xin raised his hands to cover his face and laughed:

"A mere Divine Transformation cultivator actually had the Four Heavenly Kings personally come to greet him when he 'ascended'... If there is no problem here, my name would be written backwards!"

Even though the Four Heavenly Kings are only the gatekeepers of the Heavenly Palace, due to their status, ordinary immortals and gods have to give them some face, and the ones who can take the trouble to come down to earth in person to welcome them are definitely the big guys who hold real power or are very powerful.

Master Taiyin? Who the hell is he?
As he thought of this, the golden flames in Shen Sui Xin's eyes grew brighter, and he looked intently up at the sky through his fingers.

Soon, in his field of vision, the scene of the sky filled with rosy clouds and the divine bird and fairy dancing together disappeared.

Instead, there was a eerie ghostly aura lingering in the sky. Haggard and strange-looking creatures were twisting around in the sky. Even the pleasant fairy music from before turned into noisy whispers, filling the air with a dark and strange feeling.

As for the Four Heavenly Kings walking in the front and the "Heavenly Gate" at the highest point, their appearance remains unchanged, but they are surrounded by black air, which looks very ominous.

"Sure enough, the Heavenly Palace has been replaced by someone else, or maybe those immortals and gods have fallen and mutated for unknown reasons and are no longer what they used to be."

Looking at the various strange scenes in the sky, Shen Sui Xin fell into deep thought with an extremely serious expression.

"The time has come, Daqian Imperial Master, please ascend the ladder to heaven and enter the gate of immortality!"

On the other side, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, the "Dhritarashtra" who was holding a pipa, looked down and spoke lightly to Master Taiyin, whose face was filled with ecstasy. His voice was as deafening as thunder and echoed in all directions.

For a moment, those who were not yet at the foundation-building stage felt dizzy after hearing this voice, and some even fell to the ground in dismay.

At the same time, King Zhangzhang, holding a sword, raised his hand and pointed. The five-colored rays of light in the sky suddenly gathered and condensed into a "ladder to heaven" towering into the clouds, extending from the front of the ancient Pu Tianmen to the feet of Master Taiyin.

"Thank you, my king!"

True Lord Taiyin laughed heartily, bowed to the ground towards the Four Heavenly Kings, then shook his sleeves, proudly stepped onto the "ladder to heaven", and strode towards the gate of heaven above his head.

"Is it over like this? Are we going to trick people into going inside before we start?"

Shen Sui Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering whether he should separate a part of his divine consciousness and attach it to the body of Taiyin Zhenjun, and enter the back of Tianmen with him to learn more information.

But at this time, the Heavenly King Dhritarashtra suddenly turned his head and looked at Shen Sui Xin. He also raised his hand and pointed. Another "ladder to heaven" made of rosy clouds fell in front of Shen Sui Xin.

"Your cultivation is sufficient. You can also climb the ladder to heaven, enter the immortal gate, and be ranked among the immortals!"

"???"

Looking at the "stairs" falling in front of him, a string of question marks floated across Shen Sui Xin's forehead, wondering if he had revealed any flaws.

After all, it was clearly agreed that even if it was cheating, one had to at least reach the Spirit Transformation Realm to ascend to immortality. However, the cultivation level he showed was only the late Nascent Soul Realm, which was equivalent to the previous Taiyin Zhenjun. It was definitely not his turn to ascend.

But if the other party had seen through his true colors, he should have turned hostile at this point. Did he really think that he would just surrender and risk walking into the enemy's base?
Thinking of this, he raised his head and exchanged glances with Heavenly King Zhangzhang. The moment his divine sense sensed his presence, he discovered a hint of impatience and greed in the other person's eyes. A strange thought suddenly occurred to him...

"and many more!"

At the same time, the Imperial Master, who had already climbed most of the "ladder to heaven" and was about to reach the Heavenly Gate, could not help but stop when he heard this.

Then, he turned around and looked at Shen Suixin in astonishment, then looked at the Heavenly King Zhangzhang, and asked excitedly: "Lord Heavenly King, this is the ascension ceremony of the immortal, what does this person have to do with it?"

Chiguo Tianwang did not answer, but looked at Shen Sui Xin coldly, waiting for the answer from this human cultivator, as if he was just giving him an opportunity casually, and whether he was willing to seize it depended entirely on Shen Sui Xin's own choice.

"There is actually such a good thing!"

An excited shout suddenly rang out. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw Shen Sui Xin standing up from the deck, his face flushed with excitement.

He looked like a lucky guy who found out that he had hit a small target, but was so surprised that it took him a long time to react.

Seeing that everyone forgot to come over, Shen Sui Xin realized his mistake and showed panic. Then he quickly bowed to the Heavenly King Dhritarashtra and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Heavenly King. I am very grateful. If I am lucky enough to get a position in the heaven, I will repay you handsomely in the future."

As he spoke, he took small steps, and under the strange gazes of Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, he quickly walked up the "ladder to heaven" in front of him. After a while, he caught up with Master Taiyin, and nodded to him in gratitude as he passed by.

"Thank you, Imperial Master. I never thought you were such a nice person!"

Master Taiyin: “…”

A mouthful of blood stuck in his chest, and the face of Master Taiyin, which had returned to its normal appearance, suddenly turned extremely pale, as if it was turning into a zombie face again.

However, although he was very angry, he couldn't let it happen under the current circumstances.

So after a cold snort, Taiyin Zhenjun also quickened his pace, wanting to enter the Heavenly Gate before Shen Sui Xin.

It would be fine if I lost the chance to ascend to heaven, but no matter what, I have to become an immortal before the other person, otherwise I will really lose face today!

Shen Sui Xin was secretly delighted and did not argue with this fool. He climbed up the "ladder to heaven" slowly and leisurely, ignoring the rotten and twisted "fairies" and "divine birds" around him. He only observed the Four Heavenly Kings closely when he got close to them.

Cultivation... is okay. Every one of them gives him the feeling that he is much stronger than the Black Mountain Demon, but that is only the Black Mountain Demon in his normal state.

If the power of the City of the Dead and the underworld is taken into account, the four of them together might be able to completely wipe out the Black Mountain Old Demon, but this is obviously still a long way from becoming a real immortal.

From this we can see that these so-called "Four Heavenly Kings" are most likely a bunch of fakes.

But for some reason, there was no sign of transformation in his appearance or the aura he emanated, as if he had always been like this, which made Shen Sui Xin quite puzzled.

Fortunately, the problem is not big. After entering the Heavenly Gate, he should know the answer.

Thinking of this, Shen Sui Xin had already stepped into the "Heavenly Gate" emitting a pure white halo, and his figure quickly disappeared.
