For tens of thousands of years, numerous ascenders have emerged from the Hongzhou Continent.
Most of them crossed the celestial tribulation at the Immortal Flying Peak successfully ascended.
After the founding of the Immortal Flying Pavilion, the names of all ascenders from ancient times to present on the Hongzhou Continent have been recorded.
Even those cultivators who did not cross at the Immortal Flying Peak are included.
The most famous of these is one of the two who last ascended five hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Thunder Sword Sect, Lei Ming.
Five hundred years ago, the path to ascension was yet unblocked.
At that time, the founder of the Zhenyang Sect, Zhenyang, and the ancestor of the Thunder Sword Sect, Lei Ming, respectively crossed their tribulations at the Immortal Flying Peak and Thunder Sword Mountain to ascend.
Legend has it that these two were the last great powers to ascend from the Hongzhou Continent until now.
This fact is known to all cultivators in the world.
Actually, even without the ascension records of the Immortal Flying Pavilion, the names of those ascended great powers have been spread through the world for years; even ascenders from ten thousand years ago are now still household names.
So at this moment, upon hearing that Qin Gengyun actually wanted the ascension records, Mo Xiaolan and Xu Caihe showed expressions of astonishment.
"Senior Brother Qin, why do you need the ascension records? That thing is of no use at all!"
Xu Caihe couldn't help but remind.
That old man also smiled and hinted, "Little Friend Qin, you are a body cultivator, and there are quite a few magical artifacts suitable for body cultivators in the third layer."
Qin Gengyun shook his head, "Thank you for the guidance, Immortal Master. I have always admired the great powers of the past and just wanted to take the ascension records to the lower realm, to offer homage at my Qinlian Sect, so that cultivators worldwide can admire them; it will be quite a story in the future."
The old man laughed heartily, "So Little Friend Qin has such vision; I really underestimated you. In that case, I will certainly help you achieve it."
With a wave of his hand, a booklet flew to Qin Gengyun's face, with an ancient, tranquil cover inscribed with four vigorous characters—
Ascension Records.
"Thank you, Immortal Master."
Qin Gengyun took these ascension records and placed them in his storage bag.
Xu Caihe was still muttering, feeling it was a pity, while Mo Xiaolan seemed contemplative, as if she understood something.
The old man said, "Since you have chosen the treasure, you three can descend the mountain now."
The three followed the old man out of the Immortal Flying Pavilion, returning by the original path, and soon arrived at the mountain path from which they came.
Qin Gengyun, however, stopped and looked at the old man, "Immortal Master, I have one more request."
The old man slightly frowned, "What is it?"
Qin Gengyun smiled, "I have a concubine named Luo Xiaohong. She is a disciple of the Immortal Flying Pavilion and went up the mountain yesterday with an immortal child; I would like to meet her."
The old man's amiable expression suddenly changed, and a chilling aura swept across, his voice turned cold:
"Qin Gengyun, do not be so ungrateful."
Qin Gengyun sized up the old man and clasped his hands, "It seems the Immortal Master is the master of my concubine; I apologize, how should I address the senior?"
The old man's face became even gloomier, staring at Qin Gengyun, saying nothing.
Oh, crap, here it comes!
I thought we'd safely make it down the mountain!
We still have to fight, huh? Oh my god, someone save me!
Seeing that old man's expression change, going from an immortal demeanor to sudden chilling sharpness, Xu Caihe shouted frantically in her heart.
Only now did she realize that the amiable and kind demeanor of this senior was just a facade.
Now, this fierce, murderous appearance was his true face!
Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan, however, were already mentally prepared, not surprised at all, Qin Gengyun looked calmly at the old man, facing his frigid gaze.
After a long time, the old man suddenly laughed:
"With Xia Qinglian stationed at the mountain, no wonder you have such confidence, so be it, I shall tell you, no harm done; my name is... Yu Weixian."
"Are you really Yu Weixian?!" Xu Caihe covered her mouth in shock:
"The Yu Weixian who transformed a hundred years once at Observation Mountain ten thousand years ago?"
"Isn't this person a mythical legend?"
"Oh my god, didn't expect it to be a real person!"
"But wait, Yu Weixian entered divinity transformation ten thousand years ago, how come he hasn't ascended yet?"
Xu Caihe was too excited, chirping incessantly with her words, until Yu Weixian coldly snorted, she shivered all over and quickly zipped her mouth, quietly hiding behind Qin Gengyun.
Qin Gengyun clasped his hands in greeting, "Greetings, Senior Yu, your deeds have spread for ten thousand years, in the hearts of juniors like us, you are no different from an immortal, why make things difficult for a child?"
"Why not let Xiaohong come down the mountain with us?"
Yu Weixian sneered, "Such bold juniors, actually dare to order me around!"
Qin Gengyun said, "Senior, Xiaohong is the daughter of Wei Ying from Immortal Brew Tower; Wei Ying has worked tirelessly for you these past three hundred years, and Xiaohong has helped you succeed in sword casting. Mother and daughter have contributed much to the Immortal Flying Pavilion; why not let them have some freedom and foster good relations?"
"My Qinlian Sect is also willing to form an alliance with the Immortal Flying Pavilion, for the cultivators of Hongzhou Continent to partake in immortal offerings, wouldn't it be a delightful tale?"
Yu Weixian laughed heartily, "You lower realm ants dare to negotiate terms with me? You know well I have already undergone divinity transformation; today I will let you witness the might of divinity transformation!"
Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan stood side by side, their expressions grave.
"Oh my god!"
Xu Caihe directly hugged her head and squatted down, screaming loudly.
"Master, master, something's wrong!"
At this moment, child Xiaohua rushed over anxiously to Yu Weixian:
"Senior sister escaped, she, she is..."
Yu Weixian urgently asked, "What is she doing? Speak!"
Xiaohua's face was anxious, "Senior sister is gnawing on Purifying World!"
"What?!"
Yu Weixian's face changed drastically, unexpectedly leaving Qin Gengyun and the others behind, disappearing in an instant.
Xiaohua looked at Qin Gengyun, snorted, "Are you the man who tricked senior sister? Quickly follow me!"
Having said this, she flew off in a direction.
This turn of events was unexpected, Mo Xiaolan asked Qin Gengyun, "Should we go?"
Qin Gengyun told the others, "Xiaolan, Caihe, you both report this down the mountain first; I'll go take a look."
Mo Xiaolan said, "I'll go with you."
Qin Gengyun stared at her for a moment, then nodded.
"Then I'm off!" Xu Caihe was already running down the mountain.
Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan followed Xiaohua, and the three soon reached the top of the Immortal Flying Peak, only to see Luo Xiaohong clinging to a giant Cloud-Entering Pine, limbs wide, hugging the trunk, and munching on the tree.
Beneath her, the lower segment of this Cloud-Entering Pine had already been gnawed through a large portion, its sturdy main trunk now reduced to a stick-like thinness.
Yu Weixian seemed hesitant, not daring to make a move, only able to loudly shout:
"Xiaohong, stop, I order you to stop!"
"Mm-mm, no, I'm going to eat this sword, mm-mm..."
Luo Xiaohong clung tightly to the trunk, while gnawing, she continued to respond.
Seeing Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan had arrived, she waved her small hand with delight, still chewing:
"Husband, Friend Mo, you're here? Mm-mm, wait for me, I'll finish eating this sword, then I'll go with you, mm-mm..."
