Free Web NovelChapter 331: Chapter 331: Ascending to the Spirit Realm
’A Thunder Seed?’
Song Wanning was stunned. The next moment, she saw the brilliant light and the Divine Thunder collide violently.
An unparalleled shockwave instantly swept out in all directions.
In an instant, all the spectating Cultivators were caught in the blast. With a collective THUD, they all collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Song Wanning, at the very center, bore the brunt of the impact. She was sent flying by the immense power, and the crater she was in deepened, smashing her hundreds of meters into the earth in the blink of an eye.
"PFFT—"
Song Wanning violently spat out another mouthful of blood, which sprayed in a straight line and stained the surrounding soil.
The intense pain nearly consumed her consciousness, but she didn’t dare let herself pass out.
The Heavenly Dao had used its remaining strength to fight for a chance of survival for her. She had to live up to that effort and absolutely could not let the Wooden Sculpture World Heavenly Dao get its way.
So she forced herself up and raised her head.
Just then, from within the explosive lightning, a small, sparking ball flew downward.
’A Thunder Seed?’
A flicker in her eyes, Song Wanning mustered her last bit of strength, forced her hand out, and reached for the purple orb of light.
The orb quickly fell into her hand. A powerful electric shock made her whole body convulse violently. The Power of thunder and lightning coursed rapidly from her palm through her body, as if building up pressure to burst through her meridians and Dantian.
If the Thunder Seed succeeded, her Cultivation would be crippled.
Song Wanning’s expression hardened. Enduring the agony, she forced the Thunder Seed toward her Dantian.
Then, with a thought, she guided the Thunder Seed directly into her inner world.
The moment the Thunder Seed entered her inner world, it paused, then transformed into a streak of light and shot into the clouds.
The next second, the clouds in her inner world churned, and lightning flashed amidst thunder.
The once-lifeless world finally began to change.
While her inner world rumbled, Song Wanning was suffering on the outside. Although the Three Lives Mirror had blocked most of the Divine Thunder, she had still absorbed a significant amount of the Power of thunder and lightning.
Just as she was convulsing in unbearable pain, an opening suddenly appeared in her inner world, sucking in all of the rampaging Power of thunder and lightning.
The Power of thunder and lightning passed through Song Wanning’s Dantian, widening her meridians in the process.
When the last trace of the Power of thunder and lightning was absorbed, her Dantian was completely filled with it.
"PFFT—"
Song Wanning spat out a mouthful of impure blood. Exhausted, she lay in the crater, the tension in her heart finally easing.
’I succeeded!’
High above, the two Thunder Soldiers were forced back by the Three Lives Mirror. Filled with unwillingness, they helplessly dissipated.
The tribulation clouds dispersed along with them, and the once-dark sky became clear and cloudless again.
Soon, a vibrant rainbow-hued glow pierced the clouds and shone upon the earth.
Wherever the glow touched, all life was revitalized, recovering with even greater vigor.
The previously unconscious Cultivators also began to awaken one after another.
The first thing they saw upon opening their eyes were flowers blooming across a sky filled with the multi-colored glow.
’Is this an ascension phenomenon?’
The crowd froze, then their hearts trembled with excitement. They scrambled to their feet to absorb the auspicious light.
Those with lower Cultivation levels even advanced on the spot, grinning from ear to ear.
Song Qingyun and the other two also awoke. Looking at the glow, they couldn’t help but weep with joy.
Just moments ago, they thought their daughter was done for.
But just as they were about to help, the immense shockwave had knocked them unconscious...
Thankfully, everything turned out well!
Meanwhile, in the crater, Song Wanning’s injuries were healing at the speed of light.
The Three Lives Mirror fell from the sky, its light completely gone.
Her heart tightened, and she quickly put it into her Storage Ring. ’Confronting the Thunder Soldiers this time must have consumed most of the Heavenly Dao Fragment’s power. I wonder how long it will have to slumber before it can awaken again.’
Closing her eyes, she emptied her mind and let the rainbow-hued glow continuously mend her body.
...
Amidst the sky-filling glow, a seven-colored beam of light tore through the air—the ascension channel had opened.
Song Wanning flew up from the crater and headed toward the beam.
The moment she entered the beam, she felt her Divine Soul being nourished. It was so comfortable she wanted to just lie down and sleep.
She looked down and saw her parents and Li Rao smiling up at her, their eyes red-rimmed.
Li Rao was especially excited, waving at her nonstop.
Song Wanning smiled back, her eyes holding little reluctance to leave.
She knew it wouldn’t be long before their family was reunited.
She waved, then turned without hesitation and flew up into the beam of light.
In the blink of an eye, her figure vanished.
The beam of light gradually faded, and the phenomena receded. If not for the massive crater still remaining on the ground, everyone would have thought the terrifying scenes from before had been a dream.
"Well, I’ve really seen it all now. To think that undergoing a tribulation could be this terrifying..."
"I know, right? Maybe this is what sets the chosen ones apart?"
"Thank goodness Sage Song succeeded!"
"..."
Someone who could survive a Heavenly Tribulation like that could no longer be called a mere genius; they were a monster.
But even though she had ascended, it didn’t change the Song Family’s current dominance in the region.
With this in mind, the crowd cheerfully gathered around to offer their congratulations.
Song Qingyun smiled and returned the pleasantries one by one, his heart filled with excitement.
His daughter had finally ascended safely. From now on, she wouldn’t have to worry about the Song Family.
He and his wife would manage things well and ensure the Song Family flourished.
If the Secluded Land truly emerged one day, they would have the strength to face it.
A glint flashed in Song Qingyun’s eyes.
’We still have to work even harder!’
...
"Whoa, why is it so desolate here?"
The Golden Small Sword began to chirp and complain the moment it landed.
It hadn’t seen so much as a shadow of the immortal nectar and Jade Ponds it had imagined would come with ascension.
All it could see was an endless desert, without even a single bird in sight.
Song Wanning just smiled at its words. She stretched her limbs, finally limbering up her body.
"The ascension channels are random. Looks like our luck isn’t so great..."
In the Lower World, she had formed a contract with a dragon meridian, and her fortune had already surpassed Ye Chuxue’s.
But here in the Spirit Realm, everything was starting over.
Besides, from what the Three Lives Mirror had said, this realm also had invaders, whose fortune must be equally astonishing.
Not only did she have to deal with the invaders, but she also had to find a way to merge the Spirit Realm and the Lower World.
This was no small task.
’But hey, I survived the Heavenly Thunder,’ Song Wanning thought with a faint smile.
"Let’s go!"
She flew off cheerfully with her little companions.
First, she needed to figure out where she was.
...
The moment Song Wanning ascended, the Sect Master of the Ancient Cold Sect immediately sensed the aura of the subsidiary Trial Tower.
His eyes snapped open. After a quick calculation with his fingers, an astonishing light gleamed in their depths.
’How long has it been? That little girl has already ascended?’
"Hahaha, as expected of the person I, the Sect Master, have chosen!"
Not only has the subsidiary tower returned, but I’ve also found an exceptionally talented disciple for the Sect.
This truly is a double blessing!
