Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 2136: Ascension (End of Book)_2

The combat power on Li Yuanba’s side was incredibly strong. Li Shiming, Li Taibai, Yin Shilan, these were four Great Immortal Envoys. Plus with the Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu from the same sect, the Eastern and Southern factions had a much higher status within the Immortal Alliance compared to the Northern and Western factions.

If Li Yuanba didn’t care much about external affairs and wasn’t interested in power, the days for the Northern and Western factions would be much tougher.

On the day of ascension, the Immortal Alliance’s floating mountains dedicated to ascension were moved outside the alliance, arranged in three separate formations.

Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu and the two Great Immortal Envoys of the Northern and Western factions stood at the forefront, followed by the late-stage great powers who were there to observe the ascension.

“Mr. Jian, why are there only three mountains? Aren’t four ascending together?” The Western Immortal Envoy couldn’t hold back and asked while looking at the three floating mountains.

These floating mountains were all equipped with formations prepared by the Immortal Alliance specifically for ascension, which could provide some assistance.

According to what he knew, this ascension was supposed to include Li Yuanba, Li Shiming, Li Taibai, and Yin Shilan together, four floating mountains should have been prepared.

“I am not sure either!” Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu shook his head in response.

He truly didn’t know, Li Yuanba had only prepared this much, and since Li Yuanba didn’t offer any further explanation, it wasn’t appropriate to press him.

While the Immortal Alliance was preparing for ascension, outside the Divine Palace in the Divine Domain, two six-winged archangels were also getting ready.

Unlike the Immortal Alliance, there were no other angels outside the Divine Palace or nearby who would be interested in the two six-winged archangels becoming gods.

Because all the angels nearby were Li Shiming’s subordinates, even if these two six-winged archangels departed after becoming gods, the power structure in the Divine Domain would not change.

In fact, as ‘Holy Spirits’ refined by Li Shiming as ‘Flying Night Demons’, they did not need to worry about their life span, as long as their master Li Shiming did not perish, these ‘Holy Spirits’ could exist indefinitely.

When the two six-winged archangels ascend to godhood, four-winged archangels controlled by Li Shiming will replace them, using the power of faith to elevate themselves to new six-winged archangels, filling any gaps in the power pyramid.

With the more than a thousand ‘Holy Spirits’ left by Li Shiming in the Divine Domain, as long as he doesn’t fall in the higher realm, the Divine Domain will always be under his control.

Outside the Immortal Alliance, figures appeared on the three floating mountains: Li Yuanba on the left, Li Taibai on the right, and Li Shiming and Yin Shilan together in the middle.

“Dao friend Li Shizhen is planning to ascend together with his Dao partner?” The Western Immortal Envoy felt his understanding was challenged as he rubbed his eyes, incredulously asking.

“Does he think ascension is that easy? It’s not simply a matter of doubling the difficulty of ascending together!” The Northern Great Immortal Envoy added.

Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu was equally shocked, contemplating persuading them, but such an ascension observation should not disturb those ascending.

Approaching them under these circumstances would end in deadly enmity.

Allowing these cultivators to observe signified ample trust given to them.

“Perhaps Li Shizhen has his own plans!” Great Immortal Envoy Jian Feiyu explained, somewhat lacking confidence.

The Northern and Western Great Immortal Envoys exchanged a glance, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in their eyes, though they dared not outwardly show this emotion.

The late-stage great powers in the back were also engaged in heated discussions.

Li Shiming smiled at Yin Shilan. It was his insistence that led to this, knowing full well that Yin Shilan, despite many more millennia, had no assurance of ascending on her own.

The danger in ascension was immense, life hanging by a thread under a single Heavenly Thunder.

Yin Shilan had initially disagreed; it took much persuasion and a display of his own power for Li Shiming to convince her.

“Shiming, if things go awry, you must save yourself and not worry about me!” Yin Shilan said, gritting her teeth.

She had seen the vastness of the Cultivation World, and for someone with average talent like her to stand atop it, all thanks to Li Shiming’s help.

More importantly, she had spent her life with her beloved — how many in the Cultivation World could claim such fortune?

She felt fulfilled, believing it worthwhile even if she were to perish at this moment.

“Don’t worry, we will ascend to become immortals together!” Li Shiming replied with a reassuring smile, his words exuding confidence.

He did not need to signal Li Yuanba and Li Taibai, merely nodded to Yin Shilan.

Li Yuanba and Li Taibai manifested their respective Grotto Heavens, with Yin Shilan following suit.

When Li Shiming manifested his Grotto Heaven, all the cultivators fell silent, fixedly gazing above his head.

There, five Grotto Heaven shadows appeared simultaneously, leaving all cultivators in disbelief at the world’s absurdity and unreality — was there truly a cultivator who could possess five Grotto Heavens!

By this point, Li Shiming no longer cared if his secret of five Grotto Heavens was discovered by others.

He, with Yin Shilan, Li Yuanba, and Li Taibai, began merging the Grotto Heavens with themselves.

In Yin Shilan, Li Yuanba, and Li Taibai’s hands were spirit pills he crafted, using fifth-grade top-tier spiritual medicines, prepared precisely for this moment.

Additionally, having witnessed Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin’s Grotto Heaven merging process before, IBMz15 provided the optimal plan for the merging, greatly reducing the difficulty.
