Gurgle~ gurgle~
Looking at Wang Wenjun, who was floating in the Ascension Pool and still trying to beg for mercy, Yang Hong flew over and stepped directly on her.
"As expected, after the cultivation level dropped to the Immortal Realm, even if the immortal body remains, it will not sink into the Ascension Pool, nor will it be sealed. Instead, the Ascension Original Liquid will begin to complement the immortal body!"
Seeing this, Yang Hong's eyes lit up. He entered Wang Wenjun's body again, circulated the "Profound Yang Immortal Art" and absorbed the Ascension Original Liquid through his second brother.
What exactly is the Ascension Original Liquid, even Immortal Emperors cannot explain it clearly. It seems to be the embodiment of the rules between heaven and earth, the beginning of the immortal realm, and the end of the immortal realm.
After more than a hundred years of research, Yang Hong could not figure anything out. However, he knew that his rapid cultivation advancement was definitely related to his absorption of excessive amounts of Ascension Original Liquid.
Now was the opportunity.
Through Wang Wenjun, this filter, his absorption speed of Ascension Original Liquid was a hundred times faster than when he was soaking in the Ascension Pool before. This surprised even him, who had a guess.
"Wang Wenjun, cooperate with my cultivation properly, and I will give you a chance to live. After my technique is mastered, I will also help you break through to the True Immortal Realm. Otherwise, I don't mind crushing you and finding someone else, as there are still 104 people in this Ascension Pool."
"Senior, junior will cooperate, junior will fully cooperate!"
Immortals are also people, just people who live longer than mortals. Moreover, immortals fear death more than mortals.
Hearing that Yang Hong could spare her life, Wang Wenjun immediately cooperated obediently, without any complaints.
Unfortunately, Wang Wenjun only cooperated for nine years before the Ascension Pool turned into a pool of pure spiritual water and merged into the Ascension Pool.
"Fortunately, I was quick and jumped out in time, otherwise I would have been sealed. Alas~ I forgot to confiscate Wang Wenjun's storage ring in advance. Now I can't get anything."
Yang Hong, by the Ascension Pool, was filled with regret. He had been focused on cultivation and had forgotten to confiscate Wang Wenjun's immortal artifacts.
"Fortunately, I still have a pool of immortals to use."
Turning the [Hua Yun Feizhou] into a hook again, he fished out a new disciple from the [Frost Snow Sect]. This time, he remembered to confiscate her immortal artifacts.
In the following sixty-nine years, Yang Hong used all the disciples of the Frost Snow Sect except Lou Xue.
...
Splash~ splash~
In the milky white Ascension Pool, a big man was taking a bath, using Ascension Original Liquid to bathe.
This person was 1.9 meters tall, with a well-proportioned and strong physique. He did not have particularly large muscles, but at first glance, one could tell he was strong.
His appearance was not particularly handsome, but he had sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, lips that were full but not overly large. His square face was not angular but rounded and soft.
At first glance, he was indeed not handsome, just ordinary. However, upon closer inspection, one would inexplicably feel a great increase in goodwill, finding him more and more pleasing to the eye.
It was a seemingly ordinary, yet perfectly harmonious appearance.
This was Yang Hong. His body, after nearly two hundred years of correction, had completely stabilized. Those familiar with Yang Hong could recognize him at a glance.
However, those unfamiliar with him could not recognize him quickly.
After using up the 104 disciples of the Frost Snow Sect and turning them into spiritual water, he could now bathe in the Ascension Original Liquid.
However, it was still not perfect.
The situation was as follows: with the Dantian as the boundary, after entering the Ascension Pool, the strength and immortal essence below the Dantian could be used and circulated normally. Above the Dantian, although he could move normally, there would be a strong sense of powerlessness, and the immortal essence would be completely restricted, unable to be used in the slightest.
"I wonder if this situation of mine can be considered defying the heavens?"
"Then, another dangerous experiment may begin."
Yang Hong touched his chin and smiled a little strangely. Then, he took out an immortal artifact and fished Lou Xue, who was in the Ascension Pool, to his side. However, without taking her out of the Ascension Pool, he removed all her equipment.
Then he found a suitable place, entered Lou Xue's body, and sat cross-legged in the Ascension Pool, beginning to circulate the "Profound Yang Immortal Art."
Strands of pure Ascension Original Liquid mixed with pure heavenly and earthly immortal energy rapidly surged into his body through his second brother, while immense and mixed heavenly and earthly spiritual energy poured in from his Celestial Spirit Aperture and Tan Zhong Aperture.
Yang Hong's cultivation level slowly increased, visibly increasing.
As the sun rose and set, thirty years passed. With his cultivation, heavenly and earthly spiritual energy continuously gathered near the Ascension Pool, forming a misty circle outside the Ascension Pool.
The misty circle was not large, only three zhang in radius, but it was discovered by the patrolling Black Armored Ants. Countless Black Armored Ants continuously gathered and crawled into the misty circle to cultivate.
Circle by circle, layer by layer, a hollow pillar three zhang thick and a thousand zhang high was formed outside the Ascension Pool.
Thirty years passed, and someone ascended again. It was someone he could be considered an acquaintance.
"True Immortal Nine Swords, Jin Changchang, you are really unlucky to have ascended here."
Above the Ascension Pool, on a flying boat, Yang Hong looked at someone he had met several times and who shared the same birthday, sighing.
"Heh heh~ If I knew this immortal realm was like this, I wouldn't have ascended. Where is this an immortal realm? It's simply a demonic realm."
Looking at the towering pillar outside the Ascension Pool and feeling the terrifying aura, Jin Changchang felt suffocated.
This immortal realm was completely different from the immortal realm he had imagined.
"Heh heh~ Those outside are just some ants, ants with cultivation levels from Earth Immortal to Heavenly Immortal, equivalent to second or third-tier demonic insects in the cultivation world."
Yang Hong smiled, handed Jin Changchang a cup of immortal wine, and introduced him with a smile.
Jin Changchang showed a smile that was uglier than crying. "But I am still an immortal, the lowest level of the immortal realm, Human Immortal cultivation!"
He glanced at the ant swarm like a sky-piercing pillar again, and Jin Changchang couldn't help but tremble.
"Brother Yang, are you also trapped here? It's been twelve hundred years, right?"
"Yes~ I'm trapped."
"Does Brother Yang have a way to escape?"
"Alas~ No."
Yang Hong did not reveal his cultivation level, and continued to drink immortal wine with dissatisfaction.
Jin Changchang sighed, drank the immortal wine in his cup in one gulp, and after a while, he spoke again.
"Brother Yang, I have two [Dragon Origin Pills] that can simulate the aura of true dragons. Do you think they can fool these ants?"
"Dragon Origin Pills? What grade?"
"Eighth grade!"
Yang Hong's eyes lit up. Perhaps with eighth-grade Dragon Origin Pills, it might be possible to break through the blockade of the Black Armored Ant swarm.
But it was not the pillar by the Ascension Pool, but the Black Armored Ant wall a million miles away.
"Perhaps it's feasible. Stabilize your cultivation first, and then we'll act."
"Alright!"
Upon hearing Yang Hong's words, Jin Changchang immediately sat down cross-legged to meditate. Yang Hong also pretended to recover.
As for Lou Xue in the Ascension Pool? When she discovered that the one who ascended was Jin Changchang, Yang Hong used the "Profound Yang Immortal Art" to absorb all her cultivation, turning her into a pool of spiritual water.
It only took nine days for Jin Changchang to stabilize his cultivation, at least he thought he had stabilized it. He took out the "Dragon Origin Pills" and distributed them to Yang Hong, about to take one.
"Wait~"
