Southern Divinity, Azure Flame Manor, Ascension Cliff!
Every prefecture in the Divinity had an Ascension Cliff. Azure Flame Manor's Ascension Cliff was by the sea.
This cliff was quite high, tens of thousands of meters high. It protruded out like an eagle's beak as if it was floating in the air.
The seawater below was tumbling. The waves hit the cliff with a deafening sound.
The wind was raging on the cliff. A timid person wouldn't dare to stand on the cliff in case they were blown off.
There were more people on the cliff. There were more than thirty of them.
Some of them were very strange. For example, there was a green-skinned man with three eyes. He looked like a monster.
Other than these three, the rest sat on one side. The other three sat on the other side.
The three of them wore dark blue divine armors. Their faces were cold, and their expressions were like ten-thousand-year-old ice.
They looked like middle-aged men, but they were very old. They seemed to be the same age as the cliff.
The other thirty or so people had very rich expressions. Their eyes were full of curiosity and excitement. They looked around carefully as if it was their first time in the Divinity.
There was a huge altar in the middle of the crowd. The altar was very old, and there were faint cracks on it. It was unknown if the altar could still be used.
"Buzzing ~"
At this moment, the altar suddenly flashed with light. It didn't release a boundless golden light, but there was a faint light flowing on the patterns inside. A simple and vast aura spread out from the altar.
"Someone new ascended!"
Someone said excitedly. However, a cultivator in blue godly armor snorted coldly, and that person immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more.
"Buzzing ~"
The light inside the altar dimmed. A figure condensed inside. It was a white-haired young man in blue robes.
"Divinity!"
The young man opened his eyes and said. He couldn't suppress the excitement in his eyes.
Anyone who finally ascended to the Divinity after working hard for many years would find it hard to control themselves.
"Such rich Celestial Qi. Such an ancient energy!"
The young man sensed for a while and murmured softly again. However, before he could finish lamenting, a cold voice sounded and attracted his attention. "Go over there and sit cross-legged. Wait for the Oracle to receive you."
The white-haired young man was Lu Li. He came to his senses and cupped his fists to the blue-armored warrior with respect. Then he walked to the corner of the crowd and sat down with his legs crossed.
The Deaf Taoist had warned Lu Li to keep a low profile in the Divinity. Naturally, Lu Li understood the gravity of the situation.
His aura was restrained, and he looked like an ordinary person.
However …
No matter how low-key Lu Li was, he still caught many people's attention because Lu Li was so young.
There were more than 30 people sitting here. Many of them looked young, but they were much older than Lu Li. The youngest one should be in his 70s or 80s.
"Hey, white hair, how old are you this year?"
A strong man near Lu Li couldn't help but ask in the ancient language.
This was the common language in the Divinity. Even though it was not standard, Lu Li could understand.
"Shut up. Anyone who dares to make noise will be thrown into the Sea of Vicissitudes. There are many wild beasts down there. Don't blame us if you die."
A warrior in blue armor glanced over coldly. Lu Li and the others looked at him as well.
Everyone felt their souls were frozen. They kept quiet out of fear and no one dared to say another word.
The strong man was not convinced. That being said, they had just arrived. Who would dare to be arrogant?
All of them had just become immortals. The three blue-armored warriors were strong. They must have become immortals for many years.
Lu Li sat with his legs crossed, keeping a low profile. He dared not to say anything. He looked around quietly.
He wanted to check on Little White but he did not dare to take out the Wicked Bead. If the three blue-armored warriors found out and took the Wicked Bead, he would lose his life here.
"The space in the Divinity is stable. I feel there is a mysterious force that is restraining us. Can't we fly in the Divinity?"
Lu Li was surprised. Just now, when he was walking slowly, he did not pay much attention. It was only when he moved his arms and body that he noticed the problem.
But he did not dare to try flying. He sat quietly.
Two hours later, the altar glowed again. Another person ascended.
Lu Li looked around. There were all kinds of people. He even noticed some of them had the energy of beasts.
Lu Li thought to himself. It seemed that there were many mortal universes. It was just that those universes were not connected to the nine universes. Otherwise, there was no other explanation for the immortals that ascended.
Clearly, those people had just ascended. If there were not enough mortal universes, how could so many immortals ascend at the same time?
The Deaf Taoist said that there were seventy or eighty Ascending Cliffs at the southern Divinity. If so, there must be hundreds of Ascending Cliffs in the entire Divinity. People ascended all the time. It was not hard to imagine how many mortal universes there were.
"Buzzing ~"
An hour later, another person ascended. This time, it was a handsome young man with a pair of wings on his back.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
As soon as he ascended, he raised his head and laughed. He kept mumbling something. Nobody knew what he was talking about.
All in all, he was arrogant.
"Shut up!"
A blue-armored warrior shouted. But Lu Li could not tell if that handsome young man could not understand the language of the Divinity or he was being too arrogant.
He ignored the blue-armored warrior and continued to laugh. He spread his wings and was about to fly up.
"Eh …"
Lu Li saw that the handsome young man flapped his wings but could only reach a height of ten feet. He wanted to go higher but could not. He must have been suppressed by a strong force.
"Courting death!"
The blue-armored warrior that spoke was enraged. He took out a blood-red stick and swung it at the handsome young man.
"Bang ~"
The blue-armored warrior was so fast that all Lu Li could see was a blur.
Then, that handsome young man was smashed away. The young man was smashed off the Ascending Cliff. Blood came out and one of his wings was broken!
"Ah —"
The young man let out a blood-curdling scream. Unable to stabilize his body in mid-air, he fell heavily to the ground.
"Roar, roar!"
Before the young man fell into the ocean, he heard an earth-shattering roar. A surge of horrifying energy spread out.
A beast's head dashed out and swallowed the handsome young man. Then, the beast disappeared into the ocean.
From beginning to end, the handsome young man did not even have the strength to fight back. Like a weak scholar, he was killed easily …
"Hiss, hiss!"
Lu Li and the others saw this with psychic power as well. They looked at each other in dismay, their faces clouded.
The handsome young man had gone through so much to become an immortal. He was killed right after he ascended. He would not be able to rest in peace.
"Lord, you must keep a low profile in the Divinity. Do not offend the local prefecture warriors. Otherwise, your death will be in vain!"
Lu Li remembered the Deaf Taoist's warning. He felt lucky that he had chosen to keep a low profile.
Otherwise, if he was killed as soon as he arrived at the Divinity, Jiang Qiling, Bai Xiashuang, and the others would seek their own deaths and follow him here.
"Divinity …"
