Chapter 801: All Ascend

Deep mountain ruins.

Desolate wilderness.

Countless great cultivators, once peerless in their generation and overlords of their domains, had their ambitions worn away by the endless refinement of rule chains after reaching the Great Heaven Grand Perfection.

What use was refining more rule chains? Apart from increasing strength, it brought nothing.

Many powerful cultivators of the past, unable to cross the Great Heaven realm for so long, had their lifespans come to an end—a blow unbearable for any strong cultivator.

Yet countless others refused to accept this, striving even against heaven to break through the Great Heaven realm and enter the Eternal Realm.

But for ten thousand years, ever since the Xuanhuang Realm was split in two, no cultivator had been able to shatter the prison.

Day and night.

Countless cultivators gazed at the void, their hearts bitter. They had thought that pursuing martial arts would lead them to the Eternal Realm, but in the end, they found it was nothing but a dream.

They had given up everything for martial arts, but now it seemed it wasn't worth it.

But today, something unusual happened.

In mysterious places across the Xuanhuang Realm, streaks of rainbow light shot straight into the clouds.

Wave after wave of powerful auras coalesced into dragons, roaring into the void, lingering long without dissipating.

"A hundred years—it's been a hundred years—and finally we can break through."

At that moment, countless cultivators felt the unbreakable barrier loosen, as if it could dissolve at any time.

Lin Fan refined the Xuanhuang Realm, breaking the barrier between heaven and earth. The light curtain that had split the Xuanhuang Realm in two suddenly vanished, and the originally thin spiritual energy became dense.

It was almost as if it had condensed into substance.

"Looks like quite a few cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm have broken through the barrier."

Every move within the Xuanhuang Realm was under Lin Fan's control.

Countless cultivators broke through the former barrier of the Xuanhuang Realm and entered a higher realm.

One path!

Two paths!

Three paths!

Three thousand six hundred paths!

…

With a single thought, Lin Fan sensed all the auras erupting from various places.

"Eh, Mie Qiongqi…"

At that moment, Lin Fan noticed Mie Qiongqi's situation.

On the Nameless Peak, Mie Qiongqi's aura surged, the energy of life and death swirling around him. The gate of heaven and earth opened wide, as if connecting to some mysterious place.

Vast energy of life and death poured down from the gate, drenching Mie Qiongqi.

"Gate of Life and Death, undying and immortal—break through!"

With Mie Qiongqi at the center, a current of air swirled up, forming a storm that swept across heaven and earth, enveloping the entire Nameless Peak.

Lin Fan was somewhat shocked by Mie Qiongqi's current state.

Ultimate Heaven Initial Stage.

Ultimate Heaven Mid Stage.

…

Ultimate Heaven Grand Perfection.

Hum!

This aura did not settle for a long time, only calming down at the Ultimate Heaven Grand Perfection realm.

"As expected of someone trained by yours truly. With such accumulated strength, breaking straight into Ultimate Heaven Grand Perfection—he'll surely be a main force from now on."

Lin Fan hadn't expected Mie Qiongqi to leap across several minor realms; truly a peerless genius.

He had thought that in the Xuanhuang Realm, only Mie Qiongqi would break through so many minor realms.

But who could have imagined that Yao Wuxie in the Burial Demon City was also continuously breaking through? Though his aura wasn't as strong as Mie Qiongqi's,

his unique temperament astonished Lin Fan.

Venerable Poison Demons surrounded Yao Wuxie, each roaring furiously, their power surging. They then transformed into a Poison Rune, floating above Yao Wuxie's head before sinking into his inner world.

Ha!

Yao Wuxie shouted, his momentum soaring to the heavens, filling the air with mist, which he then absorbed entirely into his body.

Ultimate Heaven High Stage.

"Impressive indeed."

Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel envy and jealousy.

Some people are born extraordinary.

A year of cultivation catches up to others' ten or even a hundred years.

Countless veteran cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm who had been stuck at the Great Heaven realm, even with accumulated strength, only reached Ultimate Heaven Mid Stage.

Compared to Mie Qiongqi and Yao Wuxie, it was truly a case of comparison causing frustration.

This time, after connecting the Xuanhuang Realm with the Ancient Saint Realm, many cultivators entered higher realms.

But in Lin Fan's view, this was a trap.

When the Xuanhuang Realm was split in two, spiritual energy was already thin. Those who could cultivate to Great Heaven Grand Perfection were already geniuses among geniuses.

Yet precisely because of this, after a hundred years still stuck at Great Heaven Grand Perfection, their talent and potential had long been exhausted.

"Looks like it'll depend on the new generation. These old-timers can serve as guides for the younger ones."

Lin Fan had his own plans. Given the current situation, he needed to get some Saint Yang Pills quickly and activate 'A Hundred Years in a Thought.' Then, with geniuses emerging in droves, he'd give the Ancient Clans a real headache.

Just then, the Xuanhuang Realm trembled. Many cultivators who had broken through felt a force guiding them, wanting them to ascend to a higher plane.

"Heh, the Ancient Saint Realm senses them and wants to pull them up—dream on."

Lin Fan struck out with a palm, his vast power penetrating directly into the void. The strong summoning force suddenly dissipated, leaving the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm somewhat puzzled.

They didn't know what had just happened.

In their senses, they vaguely felt that following this summoning force would lead them to a broader upper realm, but the force vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.

Still, it didn't matter to them. Entering a higher realm had already rekindled the long-dormant hearts of these veteran cultivators.

As for where that sensation might have taken them, it was no longer their concern.

…

"Looks like it's time to go to the Ancient Saint Realm. Given my current situation, my physical body is so awesome, I can definitely go stir up some trouble."

"Scam some Saint Yang Pills, find some strong cultivators, convert them, and have them refine Saint Yang Pills for me."

"Ten trillion Saint Yang Pills—that's a bit terrifying."

Lin Fan was once again filled with boundless confidence in his strength. His physical body was at the Divine Heaven Tenth Layer Eternal Divine Position Realm. He just wondered if getting beaten by the Ancient Clan Supremes would still hurt.

If he had the chance, he might just go and test it out.

When Lin Fan reappeared in the Ancient Saint Realm, the Xuanhuang Realm, spinning within his inner world, came along with him.

Now, Lin Fan was the master of the Xuanhuang Realm, all changes within a single thought.

This feeling of controlling countless lives was, in Lin Fan's view, absolutely explosive.

Once upon a time, he wouldn't have even dared to imagine it.
