Heavens 2

His cultivation was terrifying, his body was invincible, and his divine soul was powerful.
Taking into consideration his comprehensive cultivation development path, Lu Yuan felt that he did not have any weaknesses at all.
In the Lower Realm, where the highest level of cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, he was practically unrivaled.
Although he was only at the Core Formation Stage First Level, Lu Yuan speculated that normal Core Formation Stage cultivators with one spiritual root would probably not be his match even if the latter had cultivated to the peak of the Ninth Level.
After all, he had nine spiritual roots and his golden core was formed through the way of the heavens. His current spiritual energy storage alone was almost the same as that of a Core Formation Stage Ninth Level cultivator with one spiritual root.
If he was against a Core Formation Stage cultivator with multiple spiritual roots, he would probably be able to deal with a Core Formation Stage cultivator at Fifth or Sixth Level.
Generally speaking, the sect leaders of various sects were only at the Core Formation Stage Fifth or Sixth Level with three spiritual roots.
Moreover, surely not all of the spiritual roots of these people were formed through the way of the heavens. At most they would have one or two such spiritual roots.
The difference between them and Lu Yuan was enormous.
However, Lu Yuan did not become arrogant and complacent just because his strength had increased by a large margin.
As the saying goes, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Lu Yuan had not forgotten the existence of the Upper Realm.
Just because he was unrivaled in the Lower Realm did not mean that the same applied in the Upper Realm.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan prepared to further his cultivation properly for a period of time.
After all, it wouldn’t be long before the other Core Formation Stage cultivators entered the Full Moon Mountain Range.
These Core Formation Stage cultivators would take center stage on the main battlefield.
After all, they were also very interested in the Path for Immortal Ascension.
20 years later, in the Full Moon Mountain Range Yue Dynasty’s imperial capital.
Someone exclaimed, “What day is it today? Why are there so many celestial masters here?”
The people in the capital could not help but be curious as they looked at the flowing lights that kept flying over their heads.
A passerby beside him replied, “You aren’t from around here, are you? Don’t you even know about the Immortal Ascension Assembly?”
The country bumpkin asked, “The Immortal Ascension Assembly? What is that?”
The local, who assumed himself to be of higher status, explained right away, “The so-called Immortal Ascension Assembly is an event exclusively for immortals. The Immortal Ascension Assembly takes place once every 300 years. Ordinary people might not have even heard about it, let alone witness it firsthand. 1 heard about it from my great-grandfather.”
He continued, “1 heard that as long as you can pass the test set by the Immortal Ascension Assembly, you can ascend to the celestial world and become a celestial.”
When he heard about becoming a celestial, the country bumpkin immediately revealed an envious expression.
Beside them, a man and two women walked past.
The three of them were dressed very strangely.
The man was dressed as a scholar and looked very gentle and refined. Coupled with his handsome appearance, many girls from the imperial capital on the road frequently stared at him.
Two young women followed the man.
One was dressed in red and looked extremely beautiful.
A glance from her seductive gaze was tempting.
As for the other young women, she was slightly inferior in comparison.
The difference was not in their appearance, but in their temperament.
The girl was wearing green clothes and looked very lively, like a fairy who had emerged from the forest.
These three people were Lu Yuan, Xu Wan’er, and Shan Yao. All three of them had arrived here from Niu Family Village.
“Sir, are you sure that the two of us are qualified to participate in this Immortal Ascension Assembly?”
Shan Yao was nervous after listening to the passersby describing the Immortal Ascension Assembly.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine,” Lu Yuan comforted her with a smile.
Shan Yao’s nervousness was understandable.
As someone who had very recently started cultivating, Shan Yao felt like a fish out of water here in this Immortal Ascension Assembly.
It had only been slightly more than 20 years since Shan Yao had begun her cultivation.
Although she had been training with the villagers of Niu Family Village for a while and her strength had skyrocketed, her cultivation was still stuck at Tier 7 of the Innate Stage.
Xu Wan’er’s situation was slightly better than hers. Her cultivation had reached Level 9 of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
As long as she worked harder, she would be able to reach the Core Formation Stage.
However, she had been stuck at her current stage for five years.
Until now, she still had not found the opportunity to break through.
Lu Yuan speculated that their problem lay in their inexperience.
After all, not everyone had a skill interface like him, which allowed him to clearly see his cultivation progress.
He could even adjust his cultivation path through the change in skill proficiency.
For lucky people like Xu Wan’er and Shan Yao, it was undoubtedly not suitable for them to cultivate in one place.
With their blessing of luck, they should go on more expeditions to train.
This was the only way to increase their cultivation rapidly.
This was one of the reasons why Lu Yuan wanted to bring the two of them to the imperial capital.
The other reason was that the only way out the Full Moon Mountain Range was through the imperial capital.
After the Immortal Ascension Assembly ended, a teleportation channel would open up in the imperial capital.
Cultivators could then leave the Full Moon Mountain Range through this passageway.
This was the main reason why Lu Yuan decided to come here.
If he continued to stay in the Niu Family Village, they would be safe, but they might not be able to leave the Full Moon Mountain Range at their earliest convenience.
After all, with his current cultivation, any time he went into seclusion, it would take at least a decade.
However, if he went into seclusion, he might miss this opportunity to leave the Full Moon Mountain Range. He could only wait until the next time the passageway opened before he could leave.
As a steady person, Lu Yuan naturally had to make plans for himself.
Anyway, he had never thought of going to the Upper Realm now.
Lu Yuan would not leave this safe novice village without reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.
He brought Shan Yao and Xu Wan’er to a mansion in the imperial capital.
This mansion was the Qingyun Sect’s stronghold here.
“Junior Brother Lu!”
When Lu Yuan arrived at the entrance, a person who had been waiting for him at the door for a long time shouted happily.
This person was none other than his beloved senior brother, Bai Dafei.
Bai Dafei was visibly fatter.
From afar, he looked like a giant panda.
However, although he had gained weight, his cultivation had improved a lot compared to when Lu Yuan brought him to the Niu Family Village.
Bai Dafei was now a bona fide Core Formation Stage cultivator.
He was even comparable to a Core Formation Stage cultivator with three spiritual roots formed through the way of the heavens.
Lu Yuan looked at Bai Dafei and laughed.
“Senior Brother Bai, Master should be here already, right?”
Bai Dafei nodded, then walked forward and put his arm around Lu Yuan’s shoulder.
“Master came half a year ago. He heard that you’ve been hiding in Niu Family Village ever since you came in. He even praised you for being smart and wanted me to learn more from you.”
Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head.
This master of his really had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
That was not what the former said when he chased Lu Yuan down the mountain.
Bai Dafei looked at Shan Yao and casually said, “Shan Yao, it’s been so many years. Why haven’t you grown up?”
Faced with Bai Dafei’s teasing, Shan Yao curled her lips in disdain.
“This is called hiding my strength and biding my time. So what if I haven’t grown up? I can still defeat a big fatty like you with a single punch.”
“Oh my, I haven’t seen you for a few years, and you actually dare to speak to your Uncle Bai like this. Just you wait, I’ll show you how powerful I am now.”
Shan Yao made a face and said in contempt, “Stop bragging. You can’t even beat Sir.”
Bai Dafei’s face immediately turned red.
He protested loudly in front of the entrance. “So what if 1 can’t beat Junior Brother Lu? You can’t beat him either. I’m a senior brother, so 1 won’t compete with my junior brother.”
The atmosphere at the entrance was lively
While they bickered, Lu Yuan and the others entered the Qingyun Sect’s stronghold..
