Su Han knew this power was the power of ascension in the immortal realm.
Su Han did not obstruct these forces, allowing them to guide him upwards.
This power enveloped Su Han, and then the ascension force of the immortal realm was sent. Su Han ascended towards the sky. Soon, Su Han ascended into space, and then in space, Su Han passed through a ball of light, disappearing from this Great World of Cultivation.
However, Su Han did not immediately transition to another world with a flash of light. Instead, he entered a colorful passage. Within this colorful passage, Su Han was pushed forward by a force. As he moved forward, Su Han began to sense the power of the surrounding spatial passage.
Su Han's attainments in space were quite formidable, so he could sense some things within this spatial passage.
After sensing for a while, approximately three minutes later, Su Han finally emerged from this spatial passage.
Upon emerging, the first thing Su Han felt was even denser spiritual energy. The concentration of this spiritual energy surpassed that of the blessed land he had been in before. Moreover, the quality of this spiritual energy was also very high, comparable to the high-grade spirit stones he had found in that cave dwelling.
Su Han observed his surroundings. It was a forest. Even with his immortal-level eyes, Su Han could not discern the immensity of this forest.
The trees in this forest were enormous. The height of the trees exceeded a hundred meters.
Su Han slowly descended to the ground. Looking at the ground, the diameter of the tree trunks in this forest reached over three meters.
Su Han remarked, "The trees in this forest are truly massive!"
Next, Su Han sensed his surroundings. Due to the higher concentration and quality of spiritual energy, Su Han felt a heaviness when flying. This meant that using spiritual power to fly here was slower than in the cultivation world, primarily because the spiritual energy substance was denser.
Su Han looked around but found no portal.
"Could it be that the portals here can be set up by themselves?"
With anticipation, Su Han opened the portal system.
Upon opening the portal system, Su Han saw a message from the system.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully ascending to the heavens. A portal will be established at the host's location.]
Following this system message, a massive portal appeared directly in the air and then plummeted down. As it descended, some trees below were directly sliced off by the portal.
Subsequently, this portal became firmly established in the vast forest. Several large trees were directly bisected by the portal. This cutting action made it appear as if the portal was embedded within several large trees.
Su Han looked at the portal. Its size had not been upgraded; it was still 16 meters wide and 32 meters high. The surrounding trees, however, were over a hundred meters tall. Thus, the 32-meter-high portal was largely obscured by the surrounding trees.
Su Han said, "This thing is truly enormous. But it's good this way. These trees serve as natural camouflage, concealing the portal."
Then, with a wave of his hand, a beam of light shot out, severing the trees that were pinning the portal.
"Hmm, I should clear the surroundings a bit!"
Su Han drew his long sword, and with a few swift slashes, a clearing was made around him.
Su Han said, "Alright, I won't open the portal just yet. Let's first check if there's any danger around!"
Su Han flew above the trees and surveyed the scenery of the vast forest.
After flying dozens of kilometers above the forest, a monstrous beast suddenly appeared in the sky.
The beast lunged directly at Su Han.
The beast was extremely fast. Su Han was already at the Earth Immortal level. Su Han immediately entered the escape light flight. He had not expected that this beast could also enter escape light flight to pursue him.
Su Han was astonished, "So, this kind of escape light flight can be used for pursuit. This technique is truly powerful."
Facing the attacking beast, Su Han could sense that it was also an Earth Immortal-level beast. Su Han dared not be careless, so he released his magical artifact to protect himself. Then, with his long sword in hand, he began to fight the beast.
Su Han swung his sword.
The beast sensed the power of Su Han's immortal sword and immediately struck with its claws.
A powerful shockwave spread outwards. Following this, both Su Han and the beast were forced out of their escape light flight.
The beast flew to the side. Spreading its wings, several feathers shot towards Su Han.
Su Han did not dare to be careless, as this beast was the strongest he had ever encountered.
This beast was a Great Roc, and it was golden. This golden color reminded Su Han of the Golden-Winged Great Roc from Journey to the West. Of course, this beast was definitely not the Golden-Winged Great Roc. If it were that bird, he would have been killed instantly.
Su Han shouted, "Fellow Daoist, why do you attack me?"
This beast was already at the Earth Immortal realm, so it should possess intelligence. That was why Su Han shouted, hoping to understand why this Great Roc was attacking him.
But unfortunately, the Great Roc did not answer Su Han's question and continued to attack him.
Su Han could only fight back.
After a few exchanges, Su Han realized that the Great Roc was not amenable to communication.
"It seems I'm wasting my time. In that case, I'll have to show my true strength."
Su Han poured his spiritual power into his immortal sword. The power of the immortal sword immediately increased.
When the Great Roc attacked again, Su Han unleashed several sword strikes. This time, the power was even greater. The Great Roc was immediately heavily wounded.
When the Great Roc realized that the Earth Immortal before it was stronger than itself, it immediately turned and fled into the distance.
Su Han said, "Where do you think you're going?"
The Great Roc immediately used escape light flight to flee.
Su Han said, "Still want to use escape light flight? Then I'll use escape light flight to pursue you as well."
When the Great Roc had pursued him using escape light flight earlier, Su Han had clearly observed how the beast executed its pursuit technique.
Su Han, imitating the Great Roc, also used the pursuit method of escape light flight to chase after it.
The Great Roc's escape light flight speed was not very fast, as it was heavily injured. After pursuing for a while using escape light flight, Su Han caught up to the Great Roc.
As Su Han swung his sword, intending to kill the Great Roc, he suddenly remembered that this beast could be useful for research. He then released a magical rope and bound the Great Roc with it.
