System's Super Sect Chapter 944 - 887: Heading to Heaven Ascending Plateau (First Update)

"Senior Brother, I have a Sealing Heart request!"

"Go ahead."

"I want you to represent the Red Leaf Sect in the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking competition."

"All of you?"

"Yes, along with the other Senior Brothers too."

"Junior Brother, that breaks the rules!"

"Even though it's my first time seeking aid like this, I won't push boundaries. I just need you all to assist in slaying every disciple from the Immortal Sect."

"I understand, then it's acceptable."

At these words, the towering pile of White Crystals crumbled in front of Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, reduced to a heap of worthless rubble.

Today, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart burned through 500,000 White Crystals to declare his oath, vowing to exterminate all Immortal Sect disciples entering the competition!

...

Immortal Sect.

Time flowed onward gradually as the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking loomed ever closer.

Wen Ping finalized his preparations for the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking too, opting to lead the team personally this time. All except the competitors were required to remain behind at the Immortal Sect, watching for any schemes from the Cover Heaven Pavilion lurking in the Heaven and Earth Lake.

This setup allowed them to press the attack when conditions favored it or withdraw safely as needed.

On that final day, Wen Ping assembled the disciples before the Main Hall, fixing the departure for dawn the following morning and urging them to ready themselves thoroughly.

Traveling to the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking site held no challenge for Wen Ping.

Yet the real concern lay in the event's location: You Country. Having freshly eliminated Qian Jun and his Jisheng Hall companions, venturing there now felt dangerously like marching into a snare.

The Immortal Sect had evolved far beyond its former days. Back then, secrecy and low profile kept them safe.

These days, it stood out like a lofty tree drawing fierce winds—no more hiding possible.

Before leaving, Wen Ping questioned Chen Xie once again, "Elder Chen, has Jisheng Hall shown any response to Qian Jun and the others' deaths?"

Chen Xie creased his forehead deeply before answering, "Nothing—it's truly bizarre. Though the Immortal Daily held back on reporting it, the Jisheng Hall Master must know by now. Still, no commands issued; he's rushed off to the Heaven Ascending Plateau. Our Black Shadow planted there reports zero comments from him—he's solely occupied with the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking daily."

Wen Ping reflected briefly, then pressed on, "Watch him closely and uncover his schemes. From now on, the Immortal Daily prints only Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking material—no off-topic pieces, just ranking coverage."

"Understood!"

Chen Xie affirmed promptly.

"Today, let me introduce popularity. Ji Daoshi possesses it naturally; countless people recognize him and eagerly await his position on the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking. As the Immortal Daily grows, focus on these innate crowd-pullers. You can also predict daily if hot favorites will triumph in upcoming fights. Spot-on forecasts will skyrocket the Immortal Daily's fame and the Immortal Cyan Cloud Ranking's trustworthiness."

"I have learned much."

"I envision the Immortal Cyan Cloud Ranking someday matching the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, with every listed figure celebrated and shining brightly."

"I'll exert all my efforts to make your magnificent goal a reality!"

Wen Ping's declaration ignited a surge of thrill in Chen Xie, who couldn't resist envisioning that glorious future.

He was certain the Sect Leader would prevail!

For the Sect Leader had triumphed in every pursuit to date without exception.

With a few closing directives shared, Wen Ping grew silent, diving into cultivation while anticipating tomorrow's dawn.

As first light pierced the sky, the Immortal Sect buzzed with energy.

Disciples clustered together, bantering and chuckling, their expressions beaming with anticipation and exhilaration.

"Senior Sister Huai Ye, we're heading out. No more of your delicious meals for a long stretch—makes me want to weep."

Huai Ye giggled in response, "Why not whine to the Sect Leader and convince him to bring me? I'd cook for you daily then."

The group exploded into immediate laughter.

Deep down, they knew it stood no chance.

Blushing outside the kitchen, Miao Yin retrieved a storage ring and passed it to Elder Yun, uttering, "Elder Yun, I prepared some food last night. Take it along to eat on your journey."

With those words spoken, Miao Yin dashed off swiftly.

Huai Ye chuckled promptly and drew near, remarking, "Elder Yun, these dishes were crafted by Junior Sister Miao Yin through the entire night, and they happen to be all your preferred ones."

A faint smile graced Yun Liao's lips as he slipped the storage ring onto his finger, casting a look toward where Miao Yin had vanished before telling Huai Ye, "Convey my thanks to her."

Huai Ye nodded vigorously right away.

Right then, Wen Ping’s voice boomed across the skies over the Immortal Sect.

"All gather before the teleportation array!"

The group ceased their laughter and banter in an instant, flowing like a river of people toward the teleportation array’s spot.

Sect Leader Wen Ping stood at the teleportation array alongside every Elder, all beaming with welcoming smiles.

"Sect Leader!"

"Sect Leader!"

The crowd rushed forward to offer their salutes.

As soon as the disciples assembled, Wen Ping showed no desire to linger. He eyed Qin Shan and his companions nearby, declaring, "For any matters, reach out via the Sound Transmission Stone."

Qin Shan and the rest bowed deeply and promptly, bidding farewell to Wen Ping.

Next, Wen Ping directed the group to enter the teleportation array in batches. Group by group, he transported everyone out of the Immortal Sect.

Straight to the Heaven Ascending Plateau!

Situated in the Red Domain’s heart, the Heaven Ascending Plateau lay where the Domain Lord’s Mansion, Red Leaf, Yin Yang Family, and Xuan Court Pavilion converged.

Originally called the Ten Thousand Demon Plains—not Heaven Ascending Plateau—it teemed with countless demons, rendering it far deadlier than anywhere else in the Red Domain. Wars with the Demon Race brought massive losses, allowing the Human Race to seize control of the Ten Thousand Demon Plains.

Featuring level terrain, abundant resources, and stunning vistas, the Ten Thousand Demon Plains caught the eye of the Red Domain’s Domain Master, who named it the venue for the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking tournament. Over time, it earned the title Heaven Ascending Plateau—a site famed for skyrocketing one to the heavens in a single bound.

By now, nearly every major force had gathered at the Heaven Ascending Plateau, save for the Immortal Sect. Thrill-seekers had flocked there ahead of time.

Resembling a grand racial exodus, within mere months, over a billion Meridian Gate cultivators packed the Heaven Ascending Plateau.

Boom!

Boom!

Multiple pillars of white light crashed down onto the Heaven Ascending Plateau.

From those radiant beams emerged Wen Ping and the Immortal Sect disciples, who then marched toward their journey’s initial stop—Heaven Ascending City!

The Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking fueled its boom.

Yet the same Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking brought its desolation.

Truth be told, once the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking concluded, nobody cared to remain.

Just a handful chose to root themselves in Heaven Ascending City, calling it home.

However, the instant the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking kicked off, Heaven Ascending City transformed into the Red Domain’s most vibrant and opulent hub.

As Heaven Ascending City came into Wen Ping’s view, crowds of people and demons thickened nearby. Cultivators striding this ground were no weaker than Divine Profound Realm; Mountain Suppression Realm powerhouses abounded, with Earth Unrestricted figures appearing sporadically.

Gazing upon the spectacle, Yun Liao sighed involuntarily, "Sect Leader, even the Red Domain boasts such a horde of powerhouses. One can scarcely fathom You Country’s might."

Yun Liao was certain a clash loomed ahead between the Immortal Sect and You Country!

"You Country teems with mighty warriors, yet foes surround them too." Wen Ping replied with steady calm, scanning the surroundings but noting nothing unusual—no Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm powerhouses in sight.

Gazing skyward, however, he caught sight of several Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm experts mounted on Wing Race demon gods, soaring toward Heaven Ascending City.
