Chapter 522: Lost?
The end of the ascension channel was an ascension pool.
At a glance, the pool was one hundred square metres and had purple water, rich in immortal qi.
"We are finally here." Shen Xu said, looking around with curious eyes.
However, after taking in the surroundings, his gaze froze, and a chill crept up his spine.
"Where are we?" He muttered.
"Is something wrong?" Zhen Yuan asked and Shen Xu nodded.
[Ascension pools are hard to build and maintain. Because of this, they are only available in major cities and some monster clan areas but look at our surroundings.] The double said and Zhen Yuan reflexively looked around.
Instead of a carefully maintained environment, the pool was between broken walls and immortal grasses were growing randomly like weeds.
Even thinking with their toes, it was clear that the ascension pool was abandoned and not within a big city.
[We seem to be in a ruin but I don’t sense danger.] Zhen Yuan said and the double nodded.
[I also don’t sense danger but why did we ascend here?] He asked but Zhen Yuan was also clueless.
[Xiaoxu, lets look around first and then decide what to do.] The man suggested and the double nodded.
With that, the two exited the pool and began looking around.
"Do you recognise these immortal grasses?" Zhen Yuan asked, pointing at the grasses.
"This is the illusion dispelling grass." Shen Xu started and quickly continued.
"It is used to refine pills that can clear hallucinations and soul illusions. It’s a precious grass." He said and directly transplanted it into the space.
In addition to the illusion dispelling grass, Shen Xu harvested seventeen types of immortal grasses but none could be used to refine ordinary pills like the qi replenishing pill.
Outside the broken walls was a forest that spread endlessly on all sides.
Fortunately, the two didn’t sense any monsters or demon plants.
"This place looks safe but I will arrange a formation just in case." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu agreed.
After arranging a rebound formation around the ascension pool, the two exchanged a glance and entered the purple water.
"Ayuan, do you need to transform your qi?" Shen Xu asked and Zhen Yuan shook his head.
"I don’t but it’s not a bad idea to let the immortal qi wash my body." He said.
After all, he had lived in the cultivation world for many years and although he didn’t cultivate spiritual qi, his body was inevitably stained with it.
"Okay. Let’s practice together." Shen Xu said.
After that, the two sat cross-legged at the bottom of the pool and began to practice.
On his part, Shen Xu used his chaos flame cultivation technique to transform his spiritual qi into immortal qi.
As for Zhen Yuan, he simply allowed the surrounding immortal qi to enter his body and wash every inch of muscle, blood, bones, marrow, and qi.
At the same time, he used his consciousness to check his dantian.
Zhen Yuan’s cultivation was equivalent to the peak-stage of the tribulation transcending realm before ascending.
However, while injecting his laws into the cultivation world’s law fabric, he received a lot of feedback but hadn’t had time to comprehend it until now.
Since he didn’t need to actively transform his qi, he began comprehending the feedback and in no time, more silver pillars lit up in his dantian.
One hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
During that time, Shen Xu transformed his qi and continued to absorb the remaining immortal qi in the ascension pool.
As a result, his cultivation rose from the peak-stage of the tribulation transcending realm, to the peak stage of the heaven immortal realm.
Similarly, after absorbing the law feedback, Zhen Yuan’s cultivation directly broke through to an equivalent of the peak-stage of the great immortal realm.
"I actually skipped the void immortal realm and the true immortal realm to become a heaven immortal realm cultivator." Shen Xu excitedly said.
Excluding the nine cultivation levels that were similar to the cultivation world, the immortal realm had nine cultivation levels .
Above the tribulation transcending realm was the void immortal realm, the true immortal realm, the heaven immortal realm, the great immortal realm, the golden immortal realm, the immortal master realm, the immortal king realm, the immortal ancestor realm, the immortal venerable realm, and finally the immortal emperor realm.
After transforming his qi, Shen Xu’s cultivation directly skipped to the peak stage of the heaven immortal realm, while Zhen Yuan’s skipped to the peak stage of the great immortal realm.
"This is unheard of." Shen Xu said with a happy face.
In the book, Xiao Weimin became an early-stage heaven immortal after transforming his qi.
Unexpectedly, this time, Shen Xu surpassed the main protagonist and skipped to the peak stage.
"What do you want to do? Do you want to retreat?" Zhen Yuan asked.
After all, Shen Xu had primordial qi fruits and refining one would allow his cultivation to break through to the peak stage of the great immortal realm.
However, Shen Xu didn’t want to retreat.
On one hand, he had just advanced and his cultivation was not stable and on the other, they still didn’t know where they were.
"It won’t be too late to retreat after we get our bearing." He said and Zhen Yuan nodded.
"None of the others ascended to this place." The man observed and the double sighed.
"They probably ascended to other ascension pools." He said.
After using the pool for one hundred years, the water had lost its purple colour and now resembled ordinary water.
Seeing this, the two didn’t linger and entered the space.
"The space has already began transforming." Zhen Yuan observed and Shen Xu nodded.
"The primordial qi tree is really an invaluable treasure. I don’t know how we would be able to transform the space aura from spiritual qi to immortal qi if we didn’t have it." He said.
"We still have many spirit stones but it’s not a good idea to feed the space until we figure out our situation." Zhen Yuan said.
"I think so too but some changes seem to be happening even without our intervention." Shen Xu said and led Zhen Yuan to the space library.
