Chapter 446: Chapter 262: Battle of the Ascension Heavenly Stairway (Long Chapter)

"All disciples must participate in the great battle. Only those who rank high enough and stand out will have a chance..."

The entire Dao Sect was in an uproar!

...

Heroic Sword Peak.

"The Ascension Ladder, this is pushing everyone to become immortals..."

Peak Master Qiao Rumu murmured.

Gu Canye, Xiang Yuntian, Yu Bubei, Li Chengyang, and other core disciples stood behind him, with puzzled looks on their faces.

"Something that hasn’t been used in thousands of years is suddenly being employed now. Something major must be happening?"

Gu Canye spat out the grass root he had been chewing.

Qiao Rumu turned around and glanced at the disciples, saying, "Everyone, immediately go into emergency seclusion for a month. Adjust your state to the best, and then participate in the battle for the Ascension Ladder. Regardless of what happens, the disciples of Heroic Sword Peak must strive for the lead!"

"If anyone cannot become an Immortal Seed, they should self-castrate and learn the Sunflower Manual!"

The disciples’ expressions were complex, but they soon burst into a strong fighting spirit.

On Evil Suppression Peak.

"Ancestor, why is the Ascension Ladder opening at this time?"

Li Yunxiao looked questioningly at Tianchenzi.

Tianchenzi shook his head, "I don’t know. Ever since the Spiritual Parrot and Purple Fairy appeared, the Sect Leader and others have been engrossed in deductions. Within fifty years, they must have foreseen a major calamity in the future..."

"This is an opportunity. The Ascension Ladder, you have the chance to awaken the Evil-Suppressing Celestial Blood again. Be sure to seize it!"

"Become an Immortal Seed, become an immortal quickly... Only then will you have hope to survive when the great disaster strikes!"

Li Yunxiao nodded, clenching his fists!

...

On Demon Ancestor Peak.

"The Ascension Ladder..."

Ancestor Master Wang Ji said, "The Sect Leader and the others have always advocated natural cultivation. Unless the matter is urgent, something like the Ascension Ladder, which accelerates growth, would never be taken out..."

"Qingxue, you need to cultivate even faster. In facing the unknown future, more strength means more confidence."

Tan Qingxue nodded, "I understand, Master."

...

"Junior Sister Chen Ning, if you’re here to deliver an invitation, I’ll gladly accept it and wish you joy in your marriage. But if it’s for anything else, please forgive your Second Senior Brother for being powerless to help."

On Evergreen Peak, inside the cave mansion, Li An spoke unceremoniously.

He could clearly see through Chen Ning’s intentions.

In some sense, Chen Ning was no different from Zhao Nangeng and others; they just used different methods.

Besides, he didn’t want to have any conflict with Song Qingsong because of such a woman.

After all, he already knew about the relationship between Song Qingsong and Chen Ning. They were childhood sweethearts who entered the Dao Sect together. Although Song Qingsong had better aptitude and became a True Disciple, he remained deeply in love with Chen Ning.

Unfortunately, even though Song Qingsong was a True Disciple and had access to the sect’s advanced cultivation techniques, sect rules prevented him from teaching Chen Ning, forcing Chen Ning to seek out Li An...

"Second Senior Brother, Chen Ning has been in the Dao Sect for a thousand years, cultivating diligently. I just ask Senior Brother to help fulfill my wish... Chen Ning is willing to serve by your side, to do anything for you."

As she finished speaking, she bit her lip and began to untie her belt. Li An’s expression changed, and he hurriedly waved her to stop, saying, "Junior Sister, stop—"

As he spoke, he swiftly grabbed Chen Ning and flew out of the cave mansion, retreating ten meters away, bowing, and saying, "I will surely attend your and Senior Brother’s wedding to offer my congratulations—"

Having said that, he turned and went back to the cave mansion, closing the formation behind him.

"You..."

Chen Ning stood outside, looking in the direction where Li An had disappeared. Her beautiful eyes showed a flicker of pain and a sense of humiliated hatred...

"Li An..."

A single tear suddenly fell from her eyes, and then her clothes unexpectedly tore, revealing her fair body. She burst into tears and then turned to leave.

Just as she walked away, the sect’s decree echoed through the mountains.

Li An, having just returned to his cave mansion, was slightly surprised.

The Ascension Ladder... Does the Dao Sect intend to produce some new immortals within its ranks?

It came too suddenly.

"The Dao Sect has deep roots, so they must have detected certain trends and are actively preparing..."

"But what they don’t know is that there will be three major upheavals in the future... This secret is unknown even to the Corpse Dissolving Immortal of the Dao Sect, only my Master knows."

"In facing the unknown great calamity, their response is to enhance the strength of the Dao Sect, perhaps even to have sect members become immortals. But what they don’t realize is that only in the third major upheaval can one become an immortal, and those who become immortals in the third major upheaval—"

"Die."

Li An couldn’t help but sigh.

The Dao Sect’s response is actually quite correct. Only with strength can they protect themselves, and naturally, preparing for unknown disasters involves stepping up training. However, this approach sets the Dao Sect’s geniuses on the path to death...

Nevertheless, regardless of what the Dao Sect does, Li An won’t interfere, nor will he reveal what he knows to the Dao Sect.

Firstly, even if he tells them, the Dao Sect won’t give up on becoming immortals. The Dao Sect isn’t a group of one or two cultivators that can choose to hide; it’s a mammoth force that cannot hide from major changes.

An ant can hide behind an elephant, but if you are the elephant, how do you hide? Besides facing it, there’s no other choice!

Secondly, if telling the Dao Sect were useful, Master would have directly told Yun Qian. Since Master hasn’t said anything, why should Li An?

The most important thing is, Li An has no desire to expose himself.

If this information is leaked, his relationship with the Purple Fairy would be exposed immediately, and at that time, Li An would truly be in danger.

When the Purple Fairy left, she repeatedly reminded Li An not to expose himself.
