CHAPTER 547: CHAPTER 438 CHONGMING’S TALE ENDS: ALONE ON THE GREAT PATH! [VOTE FOR MONTHLY PASS!]

Wang Yan ascended.

Yu Ming Immortal Venerable was handling Immortal Court affairs, preparing to leave. Shanhua and Yu Cheng, the two Venerables, traveled between the Nine Heavens and the Immortal Gate Realm, lending a hand.

The Immortal Venerables and Heavenly Venerables in the Nine Heavens were all in slumber within the Immortal Sect, only a few Venerables who did not participate in that battle survived.

For a moment.

The Nine Heavens became exceptionally silent and desolate.

’Fierce Bird Mountain’ stood alone over the Nine Heavens, ’Wind Thunder Venerable’ ascended to the Chongming Realm, causing the Fierce Bird Mountain lineage to dominate and rapidly develop, with no one daring to challenge their brilliance.

High places are often cold.

Chen Jichuan felt extremely lonely, and looking around, he found no one by his side.

Chongming Realm.

Immortal Gate Realm.

He already stood at the pinnacle.

There was a path forward, but no one on it; he could only advance in solitude.

Cultivation is inherently lonely, walking the Great Path alone, now returning to the beginning.

Chen Jichuan proceeded methodically, not rushed nor slow.

It wasn’t difficult to search for Holy Artifacts in the Immortal Gate Realm. He used the guise of ’Legendary Potion’ and ’Enlightenment’ to help others ascend to legend. This was a unique business, thriving, with a steady influx of Holy Artifacts from all over the Immortal Gate Realm, and one by one, Legendary Mages emerged from ’Valgrion’.

The structure of the continent was gradually changing.

The Sky City, Radiant Tower, Wise Organization, Nine-Ring Holy Tower, Holy Alliance, Alchemist Association, Knight Temple, Witch Demon Alliance, Holy Mark Association, Pharaoh Association, Divine Throne Alliance, Eight Academy Alliance, all top organizations coveted the ’Legendary Potion’.

First diplomacy, then force.

They started with words, ignoring Chen Jichuan’s warning that the ’Legendary Potion’ was useless outside ’Valgrion’, and persistently exchanged a dozen Holy Artifacts for dozens of, a large vat of, stinky potion.

But ultimately discovered nothing, not a single legend was ascended.

They immediately felt they had been greatly deceived.

Thus, they resorted to force.

Transgressing upon ’Valgrion’, attempting to deal with Chen Jichuan.

However, Chen Jichuan had long been invincible in the world; even as a Three-Pattern Upper Immortal, wielding only twenty Fourth-level Magics, converting Mana into Magic Power, he could slay legends like chickens, exterminate immortals like dogs.

Now he was a Fourth Realm Venerable, his Mana vast. Over tens of thousands of years, he mastered countless Fourth-level and Forbidden Curse Magics.

Enlightenment.

Commanding All Laws.

Coupled with the Venerable Realm’s Mana, crafted an invincible existence in the Immortal Gate Realm.

In this battle, Chen Jichuan faced thousands alone, slaughtering the twelve top organizations of the continent till rivers of blood flowed, legends and immortals fell like rain, and the sky over ’Valgrion’ bloomed with fireworks, brilliant as a song.

After Wang Yan’s ascension, Chen Jichuan’s heart’s desire was fulfilled, with no further concerns. In the Immortal Gate Realm, he exercised his powers without restraint.

This battle was not initiated by him, but the right to initiate was in the opponent’s hands, while the right to end rested with Chen Jichuan.

"Tyrant!"

"Tyrant!"

Some legends fled.

Some immortals escaped.

Chen Jichuan relentlessly pursued, marking them, tearing dimensions, catching up to and killing them all.

None of the invaders survived.

Some careless and unwilling immortals died more than once.

A battle that shook the heavens.

The Cangqiong tore apart.

All fell silent.

The entire Immortal Gate Realm also became lonely due to Chen Jichuan.

From then on.

Legends became rare.

Immortals lay dormant.

No longer as it was before.

Thanks to this battle, Chen Jichuan reaped twelve thousand eight hundred Holy Artifacts, completing his task tens of thousands of years early.

In the third year after this battle.

Yu Ming Immortal Venerable, Shanhua Venerable, Yu Cheng Venerable, all three together opened the Immortal Gate and left together.

After being trapped in the mortal world for hundreds of thousands of years, they were finally liberated and were beginning a new journey.

But whether they could find liberation after reaching the Upper Realm, to enjoy true freedom and ascend to the Fifth-order, remained unknown.

Nevertheless, no matter how difficult it might be, it was better than staying in the Chongming Realm, trapped in the Immortal Gate, repeating the same days for hundreds of thousands of years with no sight of the future.

"Going to the Upper Realm, even if unable to shake off the Immortal Gate, seeing the elegance of Fifth-order Great Powers, and witnessing the Daoist Fields of true immortals, even if I were to vanish, it would not be a wasted life of Immortal Dao cultivation."

When Yu Ming Immortal Venerable left, his spirit was high, having already looked past life and death.

The fulfillment of wishes pursued for hundreds of thousands of years left him with no regrets.

Even if he couldn’t find a way to shake off the Immortal Gate in the future, he would have no further remorse.

"Take care, Daoist!"

Yu Ming Immortal Venerable left.

Shanhua and Yu Cheng, the two Venerables, also left.

In the Chongming Realm, Chen Jichuan was even more lonely, with no companions left.

Thus, he devoted more energy to cultivation.

Fourth Realm cultivation, the foremost is the Primordial Spirit.

As the ’Divine Origin Skill’ was opened, each ’Divine Essence’ rolled down, and the Primordial Spirit kept growing.

All Three Treasures opened, and the Essence Qi, spirit reached a balance, which is also one reason the Fourth Realm Venerable is significantly stronger than the previous three Realms of Upper Immortals.

When the Primordial Spirit grows comparable to Mana and flesh, the Three Treasures become completely balanced, standing as three supports, this is the Fourth Realm Ninth Layer, known in the Nine Heavens as Immortal Venerable.

Yu Ming Immortal Venerable is at this level.

Bixia and the other seven Immortal Venerables are also at this level.

Wang Yan is as well.

In the ninth millennium after her ascension, Chen Jichuan reached the pinnacle of the Fourth-order, also reaching the Fourth Realm Ninth Layer, and could thus be called ’Wind Thunder Immortal Venerable’.

Yet, alas, there were no Immortal Venerables left in the Nine Heavens, only a few Venerables remaining, with no one to share the news.

Joy without a companion seems much more subdued.

First Realm Inner Realm.

Second Realm External Realm.

Third Realm Dharma Body.

Fourth Realm Heavenly Ladder.

Fourth-order Ascension begins from One-Pattern First Realm and reaches its summit at Fourth Realm Ninth Layer. But this does not mean the Fourth-order path ends here, quite the contrary, the journey from Fourth to Fifth-order begins now.
