C245 Ascension Pool

Immortal World, by the side of Lu Yang City's lakeside.

"Elder Brother Xiangyang, today is the last day of the deadline. We're still two people short of the deadline. If we don't complete the mission, we'll still have to stay in this shitty pond for another three hundred years. What should we do?"

There were two Earthly Immortals guarding the cistern. One was called Xiangyang, the other was called Longwu.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Who told us to be unlucky? We have to take on such a lousy job!" The war is tense up ahead, and we need to replenish our troops. Naturally, all of our troops are waiting for us to come up.

Xiangyang sighed and shook his head helplessly.

The Immortal World was vast and was divided into four major powers, namely the Heavenly Court of Human Race, the Heavenly Court of Demon Race, the Demon Land and the Buddha Country.

Once treasures or secret realms appeared, the battles between the four great forces would become even more intense. A large number of immortals would perish, causing the amount of immortals' proficiency in the celestial realm to remain at a constant value.

It was located at the border between the Heavenly Court and the area controlled by the Demon Land. In order to fight for the ownership of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court and the Demon Land engaged in a long and long war. Those below the Golden Immortal Stage who did not enter the battlefield would be sent to guard the ascension ponds in various great cities to recruit new people into the Immortal World. Every ascension spot would have to recruit at least 100 people within 300 years, and if the number was not enough, the guards would have to guard for another 300 years to make up for the lack of reinforcements. The Tian Ji Continent was a low level world of the immortal realms. There were many low level realms like this, and the people that ascended there corresponded to different immortal cities. Lu Yang City was the flying point of the Tian Ji Continent. Because of the incident at the Meteor Demon Abyss two hundred years ago, many of the large Central State powers had lost a large number of Large Success Stage powerhouses, causing the number of people that rose in the last three hundred years to plummet. It was already the last year of the three hundred year period, and there were still two people left. Xiang Yang and Long Wu also felt helpless towards this. Not all ascenders would join the army. Those with connections and background would be taken away by the major powers the moment they ascended. The powerful ones would be quickly dug out by the major powers. For example, that expert Zhuge Kongming from more than ten years ago, who had just ascended to the Golden Immortal Realm, was directly taken away by Immortal Darknorth. Seeing that the time limit of three hundred years was approaching, Xiang Yang and Long Wu no longer held any hope. "Today is the last day, it seems like we brothers will have to stay in this damn place for another three hundred years!" Xiang Yang looked at the tranquil Ascending Pool and sighed. That's right! It was already the last day, even if there was one more person, it would not be enough! Elder Brother Xiangyang, let's go. Let's go to the city for a drink. We'll go to the depths of misfortune! " Long Wu's face was filled with gloom. Originally, guarding the Ascending Pool was a waste, but that was during normal times. During times of war, it would be different. Everyone who ascended to the Immortal World was a newcomer. In the Immortal World, spirit stones were useless; they were the currency used in the Immortal World. Those who had just arrived in the Immortal World all had empty pockets. They would definitely need to find a job to earn immortal stones, and the decision on what kind of job could easily earn them immortal stones was left in the hands of the person guarding the ascension pool. Although the ascenders that just arrived at the Immortal World didn't have immortal stones, they definitely had all kinds of magic treasures on them and could also have immortal equipment. "Of course, those who possess immortal tools are extremely rare. Those who are able to ascend in power are all Heaven's Chosen from major powers. They are not people who can be extorted by the guardians of the flying pools.

Ordinary ascenders, in order to obtain a good job and earn more immortal stones to cultivate, would have to give away their treasures, elixirs, and other things to the immortals stationed in the cistern. Thus, in normal times, the flying ponds that were stationed for three hundred years would get many good things.

However, a war like this was different. Because of the shortage of troops, there was an additional option for cultivators to ascend, and that was to join the army.

As long as one joined the army, they would receive a corresponding salary and reward, including immortal stones, immortal equipment, cultivation techniques, etc.

In addition, during the war, the immortals guarding the Soaring Pool had missions, and Xiangyang and Long Wu were examples. They had to recruit at least 100 soldiers within a period of three hundred years, or else they would have to continue guarding for another three hundred years, until the gap was filled or the war ended.

Under these circumstances, the Ascendants would become the masters of this world. To be able to agree to join the army with Xiangyang and Longwu was already a blessing, so how could they dare to ask them for bribes!

Thus, during the war, the duty of guarding the Soaring Pool was indeed a difficult task, and in the eyes of Xiang Yang and Long Wu, such a task would last for another three hundred years or even longer.

"Alright, let's drink a few cups to vent."

Hearing Long Wu's suggestion, Xiang Yang nodded, and the two of them started walking out of the Hall.

"Hualala!"

He had only taken a few steps when the sound of water could suddenly be heard from the pond behind him. Waves of immortal spiritual energy were emitted from the pond and a nine colored channel appeared at the bottom of the pond.

"Someone has ascended!"

Xiang Yang and Long Wu stopped in their tracks, their eyes focused on the Soaring Pool.

In the middle of the nine colored halos, two human figures appeared from the tunnel at the bottom of the pond. They broke through the surface of the water and rushed out of the pond, landing at the edge of the pond.

"Two people, two people flying at the same time!"

A wolf-like green light suddenly exploded in Xiangyang and Longwu's eyes as they greedily looked at Li Yi and Zhao Zilong.

He never thought that Li Yi and Zhao Zilong would actually ascend to the Immortal World at this time. As long as Li Yi and Zhao Zilong agreed to join the army, the quota of one hundred people would be full and Xiang Yang and Long Wu would be able to leave this damnable flying pool.

"Is this the Immortal World? And indeed, it is filled with immortal spirit energy, and the gravitational force is approximately a hundred times greater than that of the Heavenly End Continent. "

After a careful examination, Li Yi said.

"The gravity is quite strong, but it's nothing to us!" This should be the place specially used to receive ascenders! "

Zhao Zilong looked around. Other than the pool beside them, there was nothing else in the hall.

"Those two should be the Immortal World Immortals that receive the newly ascended people right? I wonder if they've seen Old Brother Zhuge. Let's go and ask him!"

Zhuge Kongming originally wanted to wait for Li Yi and Zhao Zilong to ascend to the Immortal World and have a good fight with them before he ascended, but he didn't expect that he would be unable to suppress his own aura after successfully reconstructing his body through the effect of the body sculpting fruit.

At that time, Li Yi and Zhao Zilong were in closed-door training to transform into an immortal body, so Zhuge Kongming could only fly up regretfully. Before leaving, he had Daoist Master Ziyin tell Li Yi and Zhao Zilong to ascend into the Immortal World before battling them again.

After Li Yi and Zhao Zilong heard about this, they also had some regrets, so when they arrived at the Immortal World, they were busy asking for Zhuge Kongming's whereabouts.

Congratulations, my two Immortal friends, on your successful ascension to the Immortal World. I am in charge of receiving you. My name is Xiangyang, and I am fellow Daoist Long Wu.

Just as Li Yi and Zhao Zilong were about to step forward to inquire about the situation, Xiangyang and Long Wu had already strode in front of Li Yi and clasped their hands at them, smiles plastered all over their faces.

"Greetings, two immortal masters. May I ask if there was a man named Zhuge Kongming who ascended to this place more than a decade ago?"

Li Yi felt a little strange. Didn't the rumors say that the immortals of the Immortal World were always very arrogant? Why were the two immortals in charge of receiving the guests so enthusiastic? That smile seemed to contain a trace of flattery.

However, no matter how strange it was, Li Yi still politely returned the greeting and inquired about Zhuge Kongming's whereabouts.

"More than ten years ago? Zhuge Kongming? "

Long Wu was stunned for a moment before opening his mouth wide, "Are you saying that the Nine Tribulations Rogue Immortal who regained his physical body, who had just flown up, became Zhuge Kongming, who had reached the Golden Immortal Realm in the Sculpting Immortal's Pond? That strong person? "

"Old Brother Zhuge really ascended here? This is great, I wonder if the two immortal masters know where he is now? "

Li Yi and Zhao Zilong were overjoyed and asked.

"That senior was taken away by Immortal Elder Darknorth as soon as he came out of the Celestial Sculpting Pool. He should have gone to the Immortal Domain. Fellow celestial beings, both of you have just ascended. Since your celestial bodies are unstable, let's quickly enter the Sculpting Immortal Pond to create your celestial bodies! "

The Celestial Lake was named after the celestial pool that allowed the ascending cultivator to shed their mortal body and turn into an celestial body. Because it was filled with celestial spiritual energy, this celestial spiritual energy was different from the celestial spiritual energy that filled the Celestial Realm, and it could only be absorbed the first time one entered it.

Moreover, the more immortal energy one could absorb, the greater the benefits one would get. The stronger the immortal body would be, and the corresponding increase in cultivation would also be greater as well.

After all ascenders ascended to the Immortal World, they would enter the Sculpting Immortal Pond to create their immortal bodies. Another duty of the deities stationed there was to guide those who had just ascended into the Sculpting Immortal Pond.

Generally speaking, the more perfect the lower realm immortal body was, the stronger it would be, and the greater its potential would be. The more immortal energy one could absorb from the Celestial Sculpting Pool, the stronger the corresponding immortal body would be after completion, and the stronger one's cultivation would be as well.

Using Zhuge Kongming as an example, he was at the peak of the Nine Tribulations of the Rogue Immortals in the Heavenly Comet Continent, and with the help of the body sculpting fruit, he was able to reconstruct his physical body. That was why he stayed in the body sculpting pool for a full four hours, and after coming out, his cultivation rose straight to the early Golden Immortal Stage.

Celestial Sovereign Darknorth was the founder of Darknorth Academy. He had ascended to the celestial sovereign realm in a mere 100,000 years, and he was only a step away from becoming an immortal emperor.

Zhuge Kongming had just flown up when Immortal Darknorth came to Luyang City to inspect him. The talented Zhuge Kongming had been caught off guard by Immortal Darknorth at first glance.
