Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 2120 - 1106: Observation_2

Before this, they were unsure, but after seeing Li Taibai, they were all completely certain that Li Yuanba possessed a treasure capable of helping the Late Stage Great Power ascend to the rank of Great Immortal Envoy.

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain how from Li Shiming to Li Yuanba, and then to Li Taibai, each ascended to become a Great Immortal Envoy.

Li Taibai bowed respectfully to the several Great Immortal Envoys; he did not say anything because he was not familiar with these Immortal Envoys.

The attention at the scene almost entirely focused on him.

The Immortal Envoys were surprised, the Late Stage Great Powers were delighted; if not for the unsuitable occasion, the Late Stage Great Powers would all want to converse with Li Taibai, to ask him which treasure he used to ascend to a Great Immortal Envoy.

At this moment, Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin emerged from the mountain’s grotto chamber; he also saw Li Taibai, merely nodding slightly, not showing much emotional change.

In the days before his ascension, he had been adjusting his emotions, so at this moment his emotions would not be influenced by external factors.

Ascension was too important; he had put in too much effort for this, and regardless of Li Taibai’s ascension as a Great Immortal Envoy, it could not affect his emotions.

He did not fly or use Space Movement; rather, he walked step by step to the highest point of the mountain.

The cultivators observing all turned their attention to Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin, as the opportunity to witness an ascension was too rare; most Great Powers would never get such an opportunity in their lifetime.

Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin waved his hand, and above his head, a shadow of Grotto Heaven appeared.

Li Shiming, Li Yuanba, and Li Taibai all used the ”Divine Eye,” and IBMz15 connected with their ”Divine Eye,” acquiring more data through the three of them.

Li Shiming’s perception of the Grotto Heaven shadow was that it gave him an extremely weighty feeling.

This feeling originated from the energy within the Grotto Heaven; the energy within that Grotto Heaven shadow was so abundant that it brimmed at full capacity, representing the extreme energy of a Great Immortal Envoy.

In an instant, IBMz15 offered a comparison, indicating that Li Shiming would need at least six hundred years to reach the standard of energy within Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin’s Grotto Heaven.

This number did not scare Li Shiming; instead, it reassured him.

At the very least, he now knew how much distance there was to the peak; as for the strength of his physical body and his understanding of rules, he had no need to worry about the former, as his bodily strength had reached the pinnacle of this world after consuming a top-level Fifth-grade Spirit Pill.

Even regarding rule comprehension, now that he, Six-Winged Archangel Jin Sheng, Li Yuanba, and Li Taibai were all collaborating with IBMz15’s calculations, they believed the progress in rule comprehension wouldn’t be too slow either.

While he contemplated, his eyes never left Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin.

The Grotto Heaven shadow above Feng Jin slowly descended towards him.

When the Grotto Heaven shadow made contact with his physical body, he let out a furious roar, his body suddenly swelling as if he had felt extreme pain.

Li Shiming, of course, knew the risk of this step; the extreme of being a Great Immortal Envoy was to merge the Grotto Heaven with the physical body, making the Grotto Heaven the body and the body the Grotto Heaven, with no distinction between them.

This was a transformation in the life form of a Great Immortal Envoy; after integrating the Grotto Heaven into the body, the physical body exceeded the world’s capacity limit.

This realm was called the Body Integration Realm, but in this world, reaching the Body Integration Realm exceeded the world’s capacity limit, equating Body Integration to the Ascension Phase.

To integrate the Grotto Heaven into the body, every step had to be extremely cautious, as any error could lead to dire consequences.

However, which Great Immortal Envoy attempting ascension had not prepared for thousands of years for this?

Just like Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin at this moment, even though he roared, his mind was entirely focused on the physical body and the Grotto Heaven; the integration of the Grotto Heaven into the body was very slow, yet there was no sense of stagnation.

The observing cultivators were all staring blankly at the scene before them.

The cultivators here were all Late Stage Great Powers or higher, and they were all well aware of the magnitude of their Grotto Heaven and the strength of the energy within.

Integrating the Grotto Heaven into the body was something unimaginable to most of the Great Powers present.

The Late Stage Great Powers observing here all volunteered to come and watch.

Because observing an ascension might offer significant benefits to a Late Stage Great Power, but it could also have adverse effects.

In beneficial circumstances, a Late Stage Great Power’s chance of ascending to a Great Immortal Envoy, or even reaching ascension, might slightly increase.

Negative effects would mean a Late Stage Great Power might never progress again, and everything would depend on the individual’s talent.

Despite these potential outcomes, witnessing an ascension was something all Late Stage Great Powers eagerly sought.

How many cultivators in the Cultivation World could ascend, after all; even Great Immortal Envoys weren’t immortal, and legend has it that only by ascending could one achieve true immortality.

Which Late Stage Great Power didn’t consider themselves highly talented; how could they pass up the opportunity to witness an ascension?

Time passed little by little, one day, two days, three days; there was not much change in the speed of Grotto Heaven integration; the further it progressed, the more caution was needed.

Feng Jin’s body continually emitted energy, spreading during the integration of the Grotto Heaven into the body.

Addtionally, mental energy that Feng Jin couldn’t control during the fusion would occasionally form mental shockwaves outward.

The Immortal Envoys standing at the front needed to block the mental shockwaves and the dispersing energy.

If the mental shockwaves and dispersing energy were not stopped, the Late Stage Great Powers behind them would be unable to withstand them, turning the observation into a disaster.

It wasn’t until the ninth day that Feng Jin fully integrated the Grotto Heaven into his body.

And at the moment the Grotto Heaven was completely integrated into the body, his aura suddenly surged, breaking through the world’s extreme limit.

Heaven and Earth sensed Feng Jin’s anomaly in breaching the limit, and a terrifying sense of rejection appeared.

Within just ten breaths, thunderclouds appeared above his head.

This time, the thunderclouds made even Li Shiming, who was a fair distance away, involuntarily shiver; after all, he had cultivated the Yuqing Thunder Scripture, yet he felt extreme danger from the thunderclouds.

The lightning flashes within the thunderclouds were not the usual blinding white but a dark gold; the dark golden lightning flickered within the clouds, with its imposing pressure causing even the distant Late Stage Great Powers to panic.

They began to retreat; only by distancing themselves could they continue to observe.

Only a few Immortal Envoys did not retreat; their prowess meant they could withstand all but attacks directly targeting them.

The turbulent aura of the thunderclouds in the sky mirrored the power emanating from Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin.

Li Shiming focused intently on the dark golden lightning, perceiving it to be a level stronger than the lightning at the level of Great Immortal Envoys.

Only now did he understand that the Heavenly Thunder of this world could be so potent.

In the past, he had underestimated Heavenly Thunder, thinking it to be of a certain level.

Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin cast spells, and due to his body being one with the Grotto Heaven, each spell cast triggered a corresponding rule induction within a certain range around him.

It was as if the space around his body was like the internal space of his Grotto Heaven, and every move he made carried the laws of a world.

As he cast spells with his fingers, the void seemed to tear apart, forming spatial cracks where his fingers pointed.

Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin was so powerful that this world could not possibly contain him.

Each of his movements tore at the space; if he were to remain in this world long, he might cause its spatial structure to collapse.

Great Immortal Envoy Feng Jin’s spells formed a thick protective energy shield above his head, layer upon layer, utilizing all the energy he could muster.

This time, he showed no signs of hesitation, as the ascension tribulation differed from other Heavenly Tribulations, being a singular Heavenly Thunder.

One strike would result in either ascension to immortality or total annihilation; no other outcome was possible.
