Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1500 - 696: The Power of the Heaven-Stealing Ladder, Smuggling into the Immortal Realm (Part 2)

Even so, this suppressed army still carried earth-shattering ferocity, surging toward the Mortal World’s Ten Thousand Demons Realm.

Wherever they passed, the ground cracked open, rivers reversed their flow, vegetation withered in an instant, and creatures of the Mortal Realm trembled in fear, as even the air became solidified by Evil Qi and the oppressive Immortal-Demon Power.

In the heavens and earth, Dao Patterns flickered and Laws roared, as if resisting these invaders who did not belong to the Mortal Realm, yet unable to completely obliterate them.

"Indeed, the Mortal World is quite extraordinary; the Laws here are incredibly strong."

"It’s said that the Laws in the Mortal World weren’t this strong in the past, but after the Immortal Kings transformed them, coming to the Mortal World as an Immortal above True Immortals is practically impossible; the higher the cultivation, the greater the suppression."

"No wonder the ancestors let us True Immortals come to the Mortal World. In terms of power, we might be the most suitable choice. If Earth Immortals came, who knows what kind of suppression they would face."

"Just a hundred True Immortals, I think far from enough, because our enemy is not those mortals, but those reincarnated Immortal Kings. Can we really solve it with our power?"

"We are merely the first batch of True Immortals to descend to the Mortal World. More True Immortals will follow. According to the ancestors’ instructions, we shouldn’t act recklessly for now. We should quietly build up strength. It’s not too late to sweep through the Mortal Realm after we’ve restored enough power."

Numerous True Immortals discussed.

Their expressions were very grave, and they felt extremely uncomfortable.

Because everywhere in the Mortal World was under the suppression of Law Forces, as if heaven itself had eyes, monitoring them.

This also made them dare not act recklessly in the short term.

...

"It’s time; an opportunity to sneak into the Immortal Realm."

At this moment, Jiang Fan, situated in the Land of Return of the Void Realm, revealed a hint of terrifying brilliance in his eyes.

He sensed the tremors throughout the Mortal World.

Numerous mortal cultivators were trembling, completely unaware of what had occurred.

Because it was like a massive natural disaster, sweeping across the entire Mortal World.

Other cultivators didn’t know, but he did know.

It’s definitely the Immortal Race taking action, starting to open a passage resisting the Mortal World.

No matter the outcome, now is the best time for him to sneak into the Immortal Realm.

If he missed this opportunity, he wouldn’t know when he’d have to wait again.

The light shield isolated all fluctuations completely, not even leaking a trace of breath.

Swish!

At that moment, between Jiang Fan’s eyebrows, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth. The palm-sized, gold-gilded Heaven-Stealing Ladder slowly floated out from the depths of his Divine Soul, suspended half a foot in front of him.

Though the Immortal Artifact was small and exquisite, it carried an aura that surpassed heaven and earth. Surrounded by pale golden immortal mist, within the mist threads, the faint glow of golden Dao Patterns was hidden. Even without activation, it made the Immortal Spirit Qi in the Quiet Chamber gather towards it, and the Law Dao Rhyme flowing around Jiang Fan instinctively converged towards this Immortal Artifact.​​

On the ladder body, eighty-one mini Immortal Steps were clearly discernible, each step as warm as coagulated fat, with mysterious Dao Patterns engraved on the surface, dense as weaving, and now gradually lighting up one by one with the infusion of Immortal Spirit Qi.

The dark gold Dao Patterns meandered, as if spiritual serpents were wandering, or star rivers were flowing, vaguely sketching the esoteric embryonic form of "Heaven-Stealing," with each pattern ejecting delicate golden rays, emitting faint "buzz" Dao sounds, the sound of Law operation, discreet yet undeniably domineering, as if even heaven and earth were to be manipulated and altered by these Dao Patterns.

"Oh, why summon me out all of a sudden? Is it about sneaking into the Immortal Realm?"

Heaven-Stealing Ladder seemed to perceive something, asked excitedly.

"That’s right, the time has come."

Jiang Fan nodded.

"Interesting, now the entire Mortal World has generated immense upheaval."

"It’s those giants from the Immortal Race making a move, attacking the space-time barrier of the Mortal Realm."

"If that’s the case, their monitoring of the Immortal Realm is sure to weaken considerably."

"I see, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for?"

"But how are you so certain such an opportunity would occur?"

The Immortal Artifact Heaven-Stealing Ladder was quite amazed, completely unexpected at such occurrences.

Its owner seemed to have foreseen the future, utterly incredible.

Yet indeed, as its owner said, sneaking into the Immortal Realm earlier would have definitely been discovered by the Immortal Race, after all, it’s been so many years; the Immortal Race likely crafted the Immortal Realm into something like an iron barrel.

Even with its capabilities, avoiding the enemy’s tracking was challenging.

Rashly sneaking into the Immortal Realm was purely courting death.

Boom~~

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan didn’t hesitate at all, immediately channeling his massive Primordial Magical Power into the Immortal Artifact Heaven-Stealing Ladder.

The Heaven-Stealing Ladder suddenly erupted with earth-shattering golden light, the golden brilliance swept out like a tsunami, instantly breaking through the restrictions and barriers of the Land of Return, and amidst the flying rocks, the golden light pierced through the clouds, breaking through the mortal heavens.

The Immortal Steps, originally only palm-sized, expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming within mere breaths into a golden long ladder stretching across heaven and earth, reaching the firmament—99 zhang ladder body entirely gold-gilded, 81 Immortal Steps broad and heavy, each engraved with complete Heaven-Stealing Runes and Space-Time Dao Seals, with the runes flowing as golden brilliance rushed over the ladder body, emanating deafening Dao sounds, inducing slight tremors throughout heavens and earth’s Law, distant mountains and rivers lightly shuddering under this pulsing power.​

One end of the Celestial Ladder firmly rooted in the ground beneath Jiang Fan’s feet, the ground was instantly pressed by Immortal Power into rings of golden Dao Patterns, securely establishing the root of the Celestial Ladder;

The other end charged straight at the heavy dimensional barrier separating immortals and mortals—the barrier like a dull Chaos Light Curtain, profoundly heavy, radiating the majesty of Heavenly Dao, where ordinary cultivators even with transmundane cultivation couldn’t move it even slightly, only by Crossing the Tribulation ascending, obtaining Heavenly Dao’s acknowledgment, can they tear open a seam.

But the Heaven-Stealing Ladder was indifferent, the tip of the ladder condensed into a sharp light blade, easily sliced through the dimensional barrier like cutting tofu, the curtain rippled, countless fine space fragments sprayed out, and beyond the barrier, the cloud-misted, immortal qi-dense Immortal Realm’s domain was faintly discernible, heavily concentrated Immortal Realm’s original Qi surged down the torn gap, instantly pervading the whole world.​​

The Immortal Realm’s original Qi was a hundred times purer than the Immortal Spirit Qi of the Mortal Realm. Upon contact, it transformed into a liquid Immortal River, gently flowing along the Heaven-Stealing Ladder’s steps, washing over Jiang Fan’s body.

Jiang Fan felt his entire meridian slightly burning, the Primordial Magical Power within his Dantian nourished into greater richness by the Immortal River, and the mortal aura around him was slowly transformed by Immortal Power.

He took a deep breath, gently pointed his toes on the ground, ascending the first step of the Heaven-Stealing Ladder like a light feather. As soon as his foot touched the step, the Heaven-Stealing Dao Pattern on the ladder body instantly lit up, a pale golden light shield enveloping him completely, obliterating his aura, cultivation, and even life presence, so thoroughly that even the Heavenly Dao’s inspection and Immortal Realm’s barrier perception were wholly obscured, as though he had never existed.

This was the Heaven-Stealing Ladder’s most incomparably heavenly ability to sneak—the Heaven-Stealing Path, stealthily crossing Immortal Gate, unmonitored by Heavenly Dao, unmarked.

No need to endure the ninefold Celestial Tribulation’s baptizing, no need to wait for the Immortal Realm’s reception, merely relying on the Immortal Artifact’s power, can deceive heaven and sea, silently crossing the bounds of mortal and immortal.

Jiang Fan stepped step by step, advancing in the air, with each step the Dao Patterns on the ladder brightened further, Immortal Power surged into his body from his soles, constantly modifying his life presence, turning the mortal aura completely into Immortal Realm’s original Qi, letting him blend perfectly with the Immortal Realm’s environment, even close contact with Immortal Realm cultivators wouldn’t trigger any abnormality.

At this moment, a gigantic net veiled every part of the Immortal Realm, responsible for monitoring any peculiar fluctuations in the Immortal Realm.

In ordinary times, Jiang Fan’s actions would definitely trigger detection from the net.

But due to giants of the Immortal Race jointly breaching the Mortal Realm’s barriers, causing substantial disturbances within the Immortal Realm, making the giant net cease operation temporarily, rendering it ineffective for the moment.

Seizing this moment, a golden Celestial Ladder was quietly piercing through the barrier, above which Jiang Fan’s silhouette advanced steadily, the Immortal Power around him grew increasingly rich, and his mortal form was constantly refined by Immortal Realm’s essence, progressively nearing an Immortal Body.

His gaze firm, staring at the Illusory Immortal Realm at the ladder’s end, one step at a time, traversing eighty-one Immortal Steps, slowly crossing through the heavy dimension barrier, completely stepping into the territory of the Immortal Realm.
