The Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Calamity gradually dissipated. The weight in Bian Sixuan's heart finally lifted. She let out a long sigh of relief, struggling to calm her rapid breathing while maintaining the balance of the three qi—heaven, earth, and human—within her body.
Now that the Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Calamity had vanished, they no longer interfered with or affected her. As a result, maintaining the stability and harmony of the three types of qi within her body became relatively easier.
As the Blessed Land formed, Bian Sixuan carefully placed her Vital Gu into the remaining heaven and earth qi.
Having done this, she landed lightly on the ground as if a heavy burden had been lifted—at this point, she had successfully weathered the tribulation and achieved Ascension!
"This Disciple has fulfilled the mission and did not fail Master's earnest expectations!" Bian Sixuan was overcome with emotion and immediately bowed deeply to her Master, expressing her heartfelt respect and gratitude.
Hearing this, a look of satisfaction appeared on Liu Chen's face, but he did not offer much praise. He simply took an immortal gu from his robe and placed it gently before Bian Sixuan: "This is the Trouble-Eliminating Immortal Valley; it can help you safely navigate the calamities within your Blessed Land."
Seeing this, Bian Sixuan did not hesitate to reach out and take the immortal gu, bowing again as she said, "This Disciple thanks Master!"
"Little Yuner, now you're the only one left. Go forth boldly!" Liu Chen said to Zhao Lianyun.
At this moment, only Zhao Lianyun had yet to successfully achieve Immortal Ascension.
Zhao Lianyun nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes, Master! I will immediately begin the process of shattering my Aperture."
Before her voice had even faded, she took a deep breath and exerted a sudden force, instantly Shattering the Aperture within her body.
Simultaneously, the human qi around her surged, drawing the heaven and earth qi to converge upon her.
However, despite Zhao Lianyun being a Otherworldly Demon, it provided no substantial help for her Immortal Ascension.
Because the foundation she had accumulated through her cultivation was not deep enough, her human qi was exceptionally thin. In comparison, the spectacular scenes witnessed during the previous Immortal Ascensions of Fei Hongyun and Bian Sixuan were like night and day. If she continued to force her Immortal Ascension under these current conditions, she might struggle to form even the lowest grade of Blessed Land.
Seeing this, Bian Sixuan couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Master, do you think Junior Sister can really make it? Will something go wrong..."
Beside her, Fei Hongyun also focused his attention on Zhao Lianyun, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists as if he wanted to share her tension and unease.
"I have my own arrangements!" Liu Chen's lips curled slightly, revealing a confident smile. He knew in his heart that although Zhao Lianyun had good talent, her cultivation period was still short, and her personal accumulation was lacking.
Accompanied by a flash of brilliant light, an immortal gu radiating the Aura of the Human Dao slowly emerged.
Human Qi Immortal Gu (Pseudo). This immortal gu had already absorbed sufficient human qi beforehand, accumulating a massive amount, and now was the time for it to show its Divine Might.
In an instant, milky-white human qi gushed out from the Human Qi Immortal Gu like a torrent, continuously pouring into Zhao Lianyun's body. This pure and dense human qi seemed to transform into a clear spring, rapidly filling the void left by her own lack of human qi.
Not only that, but under the nourishment of the powerful human qi, Zhao Lianyun's already outstanding natural talent was brought into full play.
Her Aura climbed steadily like a rising sun, grand and majestic, causing the surrounding heaven and earth qi to boil and churn. Its power was so great that it even showed signs of surpassing Bian Sixuan's!
However, even with such vigorous heaven and earth qi, Liu Chen did not let it vent recklessly. Countless small and exquisite petty gu emerged like well-trained soldiers, greedily devouring the excess heaven and earth qi.
The clouds gathering in the sky seemed to be ignited, rapidly converging and burning, forming spectacular sunset clouds.
These burning clouds continued to accumulate and condense, eventually merging together like a massive pot lid, firmly covering the space above Zhao Lianyun's head. This sea of fire presented a vivid crimson hue, like a scorching crimson pot lid, ruthlessly enveloping her within.
Heavenly Calamity: Crimson Lid Burning City!
Simultaneously, the originally calm sea began to churn violently, kicking up towering waves. One black lotus after another, dark as ink, slowly grew from the surging surface of the sea. Each black lotus emitted a thick purple-black poisonous miasma, and this eerie and lethal toxic gas spread rapidly, dyeing the entire ocean black and forming a vast, boundless sea of poison.
Earth Calamity: Poison Miasma Lotus Sea!
When he saw that what appeared was actually a Poison Dao killer move, Liu Chen was startled, well aware of the danger it contained. This kind of calamity was the most difficult for a Gu Master's Immortal Ascension; a Mortal body resisting Immortal Rank poison was almost a certain death sentence.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Divert Disaster Eastward!"
Facing such a terrifying sea of poison, even the Difficulty-Removing Sword Light might struggle to be effective, and the Sword Dao killer moves Liu Chen specialized in were difficult to exert their full power against this kind of calamity.
He waved his hands, drawing the sea of black lotus poison into his palms, and then moved the entire disaster-laden sea of poison tens of thousands of miles away.
Having successfully rid himself of the most troublesome Poison Dao calamity, Liu Chen did not dare to delay for a moment, immediately activating a healing killer move again to treat Zhao Lianyun, who had been tainted by a small amount of toxin.
"Immortal Path Killer Move: Difficulty-Removing Sword Light!"
In an instant, several dazzling sword beams shot out like a brilliant meteor streaking across the sky.
Several sharp and matchless sword lights soared into the sky like a Dragon taking flight, hacking straight toward the Heavenly Calamity, Crimson Lid Burning City, that was pressing down on Zhao Lianyun!
The sky-blotting sea of fire calamity above her head seemed to encounter an irresistible force, and was instantly and forcefully sliced into countless tiny fragments! These fragments were like small sparks dancing in the sky, swaying precariously in the wind.
However, with just a gentle breeze blowing through, they scattered in all directions and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Zhao Lianyun, who had been struggling to resist the sea of fire calamity, could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She began to concentrate her energy, working hard to calm the three surging currents of qi within her body and gradually return them to a normal state.
As time passed minute by minute, only after the last sliver of heaven and earth qi had been completely absorbed did Zhao Lianyun slowly open her eyes and walk toward the others with somewhat staggering steps.
"This Disciple greets Master!" Zhao Lianyun said with a face full of excitement, bowing respectfully to Liu Chen, her words filled with gratitude.
Seeing this, Fei Hongyun and Bian Sixuan, who were standing nearby, also breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing expressions of wild joy.
"Mm, well done." Liu Chen nodded slightly, expressing his great satisfaction with Zhao Lianyun's performance.
"These are the heaven and earth qi that belong to you, as well as this Trouble-Eliminating Immortal Valley; you should find them useful." Liu Chen placed the petty gu and the Trouble-Eliminating Immortal Valley before Zhao Lianyun.
"Thank you, Master." Zhao Lianyun bowed.
From then on, Liu Chen had three Gu Immortal Disciples.
