Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 693: Severing the Chains Binding the Qiandao Realm - Ascension Channel_1

BOOM!!!

The intense sound rattled the entire Grand Heaven Sect, startling everyone. Some even suffered a backlash because their cultivation was interrupted.

A flash of anger appeared in Elder Universe's eyes, and he instantly rushed to the source of the loud noise.

"The entrance to the lower realm?" However, when he saw where the problem had occurred, his expression couldn't help but change, his previous anger momentarily forgotten.

"What's going on? Why is there a backlash at the Qiandao Realm entrance?!"

His expression was a mixture of bewilderment and rekindled anger.

Losing a Qiandao Realm wasn't a major issue, but if other lower realms were also affected, it would impact the resources he needed for his cultivation.

Besides Elder Universe, the Sect Leader and Elders of the Grand Heaven Sect also rushed over, their expressions matching his.

It was well-known that this lower realm entrance was extremely sturdy; even an Ancestor Immortal Realm expert couldn't scratch it. Yet now, it had been shattered by some unknown backlash.

Hao Hong came scrambling over. Seeing the state of the Qiandao Realm entrance, his face turned pale, and he looked as if he was about to cry.

How could another incident have happened, and with the Qiandao Realm again of all places? he thought, his panic rising. The worst part is, it's not just the lower realm facing issues; there's a True Disciple trapped inside the Qiandao Realm! And the most troublesome part is that I've been involved in this from start to finish. I'm doomed this time.

"Greetings, Elder Universe, Sect Leader, Elders." Hao Hong knelt trembling on the ground, not daring to look directly at these incredibly powerful sect higher-ups.

"Are you responsible for this area?" the Sect Leader inquired.

Elder Universe observed coldly from the side. This kind of trivial matter certainly doesn't require my personal attention.

"Yes, Sect Leader," Hao Hong hastily replied.

"Speak. What happened?" The Sect Leader unleashed a powerful aura, making it difficult for Hao Hong to breathe.

"I... This matter is related to True Disciple Chai Hui. Previously..." At this moment, Hao Hong unhesitatingly shifted all blame for the incident onto Chai Hui. He's not coming back anyway. Take responsibility myself? I'm afraid even sacrificing the entire Hao family wouldn't be enough to appease the sect's anger.

"Killing cultivators of higher realms... an Innate magical treasure." The Sect Leader quickly pieced together the cause and effect from Hao Hong's explanation. A flicker of displeasure crossed his eyes. Chai Hui actually dared to go to the lower realm for an Innate magical treasure behind my back? Hiding such a crucial matter... he truly doesn't know his place.

Innate magical treasures are exceedingly precious; any cultivator would desire one.

"Elder Universe, what are your thoughts?" the Sect Leader turned and asked.

Although he was the Sect Leader, that was only because Elder Universe didn't involve himself in daily affairs. As an expert who had reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, Elder Universe's word was law in the Grand Heaven Sect. He had even founded the Grand Heaven Sect himself; the Sect Leader merely managed it on his behalf. The matter they faced this time was indeed too significant for him to recklessly dispense punishment.

Others might not understand the implications of the lower realm entrance collapsing, but how could I not know?

"This matter is of great importance and must not be spread," Elder Universe said calmly, then added, "Quickly investigate the reason for the collapse of the Qiandao Realm entrance. Ideally, we should enter this lower realm and retrieve that Innate magical treasure."

Everyone present believed the collapse of the lower realm entrance was related to that Innate magical treasure. It had to be an extraordinary weapon of slaughter; otherwise, how could it cause such a shocking event? If this Innate magical treasure fell into the hands of their Grand Heaven Sect, it would undoubtedly elevate them to a new level.

All the high-ranking members of the Grand Heaven Sect present felt a fervent excitement. Battling, plundering, growing—these are our ways to acquire resources.

"As for you..." Elder Universe glanced at Hao Hong. "Perform a Soul Search, then dispose of him."

Elder Universe's gaze fell upon Hao Hong; he didn't even see him as a person, merely as an insignificant insect.

"Wait, Elder Universe! I'm useful, I'm still useful..." Hao Hong shivered uncontrollably and immediately began to beg for mercy.

He knew all too well what "disposal" after a Soul Search meant: being declared dead from a 'sudden illness'. Out of consideration for his position as an Outer Gate Manager of the Grand Heaven Sect, they would grant him a 'dignified death'. But this was merely a facade; anyone with a discerning eye would know how he had truly died. Most importantly, he didn't want to die. He just wanted to live.

"Useful? How could you possibly be useful?" Elder Universe, who had been about to leave, paused, his expression tinged with displeasure as he inquired.

"I can scout the path! I am willing to risk my life to venture into the Qiandao Realm for you, esteemed seniors, to alleviate your burdens!" Hao Hong quickly said.

Between dying sooner or later, I choose later, Hao Hong thought. Besides, I want to take a gamble. If I go to the Qiandao Realm and obtain the Innate magical treasure—better yet, gain its recognition—then I'll have a chance at survival.

However, Elder Universe gave a derisive smile. "You and your petty schemes. Do you really think I don't know what you're thinking? This Innate magical treasure is beyond your grasp."

As soon as the words fell, Hao Hong's face turned white. My little scheme has been exposed!

Now he had touched upon everyone's taboo. Everyone coveted this Innate magical treasure. How dare he, a mere Immortal Monarch Realm cultivator, try to compete for it with a group of Immortal Emperor Realm cultivators?

Does he really think we're a bunch of naive youngsters new to the Immortal Realm, easily fooled by a mere Immortal Monarch Realm cultivator like him?

"Mercy, mercy! I had no intention of coveting the Innate magical treasure, Elder Universe... Elder Universe..." Hao Hong continued to plead.

However, Elder Universe didn't stop this time; he simply turned and left.

Then, the Sect Leader strolled over and reached out, intending to perform a Soul Search on him.

He wanted to resist, but the other party was in the Immortal Emperor Realm, two full realms higher than his Immortal Monarch Realm. There was no way he could fight back. At this moment, he couldn't even choose to die if he wanted to.

"Sect Leader, I... AHH!!!" Hao Hong tried to continue pleading for mercy, but before he could finish his sentence, the Sect Leader performed the Soul Search, destroying his very soul in the process.

He was reduced to a drooling imbecile, his eyes vacant. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Drag him away and dispose of him," the Sect Leader said, glancing at Hao Hong with disgust. This brat concealed quite a bit. He didn't dare to lie outright, but if he told the truth with some embellishments, the original meaning could easily be distorted.

"Such a significant matter, happening twice without being reported! Utter incompetence!" The Sect Leader was scolding not only Hao Hong but all related personnel. To think that matters concerning an Innate magical treasure could be intercepted like this! Normally, it would have definitely come into my hands. If it had been me handling it, this never would have happened. The Innate magical treasure might already be in my hands by now. Even though I, in the Immortal Emperor Realm, can only stay in a lower realm for less than an hour, with my strength, I wouldn't even need that long. Half a cup of tea's time would be more than enough to handle it. With this Innate magical treasure, Elder Universe will still only be in the Immortal Emperor Realm, while I can ascend to the higher Immortal Sovereign Realm and firmly surpass him! After all, who wants an old ancestor figure dictating things from above, capable of stripping away one's power and status with a single sentence? Ambition and a rebellious streak—everyone has them. Their cultivation itself is an act of defying the heavens. If they dare to defy even the heavens, yet don't dare to usurp those above them, then what's the point of cultivating? Bowing and scraping when face-to-face doesn't change their true intentions. It's merely a survival tactic.

"The disconnection between the two realms is finally complete," Wang Linchi said, looking at the data in his hand.

To activate the Qiandao Realm as this "suicide squad," the first step was to sever its connection with the Green Nether Fairyland. This connection was the very chain that the Green Nether Fairyland had used to bind the Qiandao Realm. That's right, the Ascension Channel. For others, damaging it was practically impossible. For Wang Linchi, however, it was simpler than cutting a cake.

The next moment, the golden flames atop all the Merit Gold Crystal Towers surged, expanding dramatically. The immense columns of light pierced the heavens, slowly propelling the entire world forward.

All the Merit Giants could feel a subtle change in their surroundings. The world had begun to shift, and changes were undoubtedly occurring.

Simultaneously, the assimilation of his Family began.

The Merit Giants, disoriented by the environmental shifts, didn't notice anything amiss with themselves. Even if they had tried to sense it carefully, they wouldn't have detected any problems.

"Full throttle!" Wang Linchi commanded, pushing the power to its maximum. Since we're going for an impact, we might as well go all out.

This action triggered cataclysmic changes throughout the world, even causing ecological devastation. However, under the protection of the Merit Gold Crystal Towers, the Merit Giants remained unharmed. In fact, they were all cheering.

They cheered because they knew that by simply waiting, they would escape their future predicament.
