Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension

*Boom!*

Void shattered inch by inch as purple lightning filled the dim sky, transforming into a lightning dragon that rushed towards Jiang Ruyin breaking all spells and techniques.

A figure slowly stepped out of the portal followed by another.

It was Yan Jingfei and Jian Qi.

A protective purple lightning barrier instantly surrounded the nearby hundreds of miles to prevent the aftermath of the battle from affecting them.

Seeing her spell being destroyed by Yan Jingfei, Jiang Ruyin had already escape thousands of miles using void traversal and her Dharma Artifacts. She knew that she was no match for Yan Jingfei in direct combat, the other party had even broken her Light Concealing Heavenly Net Formation.

She could only continue to escape from then on. It could only be said that her luck was a bit good so she could obtain half of the inheritance, while the other half still fell into Yan Jingfei's hand.

Using the spatial manipulation techniques of the Jiang Family, she always had an upper hand in escaping, but her Spiritual Energy was still limited, and she was exhausted from using too much of it. On the other hand, Yan Jingfei showed no signs of exhaustion, and she even had countermeasures against Pseudo-Rank-7 Dharma Artifacts which was the most Jiang Ruyin could use at her current cultivation base.

Damn it! Eternal Peak, just what kind of force is it that allowed her to cultivate to this level in just a few hundred years!?

The growth rate is even faster than the protagonist boost!

Jiang Ruyin cursed inwardly before she raised her hand, condensing a huge palm of Spiritual Energy containing the power of the void and spatial fragments as it smashed towards Yan Jingfei, covering a range of dozens of miles, bending the worldly laws.

Yan Jingfei also condensed a huge purple palm of violent Lightning Spiritual Energy, pushing forward with unparalleled might that directly broke the laws of space around it.

*Boom!*

With a loud sound, the two overpowering forces collided fiercely, the Lightning Spiritual Energy breaking through the spatial fragments of Jiang Ruyin's palm, the ultimate attack power of lightning mixed in with a supreme palm technique from Yan Jingfei's past life inheritance too overbearing for the fragile worldly laws of heaven and earth.

Jiang Ruyin's eyes widened in shock as she quickly retracted her palm and gritted her teeth before shouting in a low voice.

"Pure World Void Descent!"

As soon as she said these words, a circular treasure flew out from her Storage Ring, spinning rapidly while shooting out celestial light in all directions.

Jiang Ruyin was completely enveloped in the light before her figure dissipated along with the treasure, a bright flash spreading out to hundreds of miles.

As the flash slowly receded, all that remained in the sky were the figures of Yan Jingfei and Jian Qi. The portal along with the spatial storm had also disappeared.

Yan Jingfei dispersed her palm shadow and the purple lightning barrier enveloping the surrounding hundreds of miles.

That was...a small realm. She actually escaped into a small realm within that treasure.

I knew the Great Jiang Immortal Dynasty was extremely powerful in the previous timeline and the Jiang Family were masters of spacial manipulation arts, but I never expected their techniques and lineage were so strong. I guess a Human Immortal lineage cannot be underestimated, after all.

A hint of regret flashed past Yan Jingfei's eyes. She couldn't get the complete inheritance.

Tracking down Jiang Ruyin would be extremely difficult now, specially since she was hiding in a secret realm inside of a treasure.

One had to know that Yan Jingfei at the Immortal Ascension Realm in the previous timeline was only able to understand around 30% of the secrets of this inheritance left by the Immortal Goddess. It held the secrets of immortality and could be considered the foundation of a Human Immortal lineage or major faction if placed in the outside world.

And now, half of it was gone. She couldn't help but be a little regretful. After all, that inheritance was the reason behind her rise in the previous timeline and could prove to be of great help even now.

"Alas... I can only give it up for the time being now."

However, she didn't care too much about it now. The Eternal Peak and her master had given her great confidence.

Attaining immortality was a certainty, with or without the inheritance!

However, at this moment, she seemed to have sensed something as she looked at the city below.

A faint, golden aura permeated from the city only visible to her. The air of fortune and great luck spread out to every corner of the surrounding tens of thousands of miles, it was the land of Great Wei Dynasty.

Yan Jingfei's eyes narrowed as she observed the golden aura, a hint of intrigue and even shock in visible in them.

"Senior sister, what's wrong?"

Jian Qi couldn't help but ask, seeing his senior sister so mesmerized wasn't exactly a common sight.

"The Fortune Defining Great Art just reacted to this place." Yan Jingfei replied in a neutral voice, her Divine Sense already checking out the city.

Jian Qi was visibly stunned upon hearing this before he looked down, spreading out his Divine Sense as well.

The Fortune Defining Great Art, it was a part of the inheritance Yan Jingfei did not comprehend in the previous timeline but could do so in the current one. She solely attributed it to her supposedly increased Providence by being connected to the Eternal Peak and her master.

Yan Jingfei only understood how powerful it was after she managed to cultivate it.

It could actually allow one to sense fortune or luck!

And not just the surface level one that normal high level cultivators could sense, but the deeper one that was easily ignored by others yet was extremely beneficial!

She had used this art once and could see the power of fortune and Providence around her junior brother was really dense, so much so that she could not see through it even with the Fortune Defining Great Art!

Even she herself was covered in thick Providence, definitely far greater than that of any Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator, and she also could not find her depths with the great art.

In the end, she could only attribute it to her master as well.

The Fortune Defining Great Art reacting in this place meant that either something or someone with a great fortune was connected to it in some way.

Just then, a light flashed as a middle aged man in billowing azure robes came before the two of them.

This was the Golden Core expert from the Lightning Storm Sect.

He bowed respectfully to Yan Jingfei as he asked, "Greetings, senior. This junior is an elder of the Lightning Storm Sect, the local rulers of this area's surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles. I wonder what business you have here?"

There was no fear in his eyes, only respect and caution. There was a Void Refinement ancestor in the Lightning Storm Sect too. Surely the other party wouldn't be so unreasonable since they took the initiative to protect the surroundings from the aftermath of a battle, right?

"This... What place is this? Can you tell me if something recently happened here? I'm the eldest disciple of Eternal Peak from the Eastern Continent."

As soon as Yan Jingfei said the last sentence, the Golden Core cultivator's blood suddenly ran cold.

The Eternal Peak was a newly risen force who's lord was suspected of being an extremely powerful being above the Immortal Ascension Realm, making it on par with the major factions.

What was a major faction?

Even if the Central Continent was the most powerful of all 5 continents in the Second Great Mortal World, it didn't mean that strong forces from other continents could be treated rashly, specially major forces!

"Ah, so it's a senior from the Eternal Peak! It is my honor that I can meet such a great figure as yourself!"

His demeanor immediately became much more humble compared to before, even taking on a tone of flattery.

"As for what senior asked earlier, indeed, a genius possessing a Lightning Heavenly Spiritual Root was discovered in this mortal dynasty called Great Wei. I wonder if senior has any instructions for me?"

He really didn't want to say this, the Heavenly Spiritual Root prodigy was a kind of lifeline for the Lightning Storm Sect, but in front of a major faction, he could only yield, because even if he didn't say it, the other party would definitely find out by asking around.

And at that time, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Lightning Storm Sect.

"A Lightning Heavenly Spiritual Root genius?"

Yan Jingfei couldn't help but ask, to which the cultivator nodded.

"I see. Can you bring us to see him? I need to confirm something."

Here it is, here it is!

The cultivator cried out inwardly, but he had a smile plastered on his face in reality and seemed to be very happy to introduce such a genius to Yan Jingfei.

Yan Jingfei, on the other hand, had a feeling that this so called prodigy was a bit more extraordinary than just a Heavenly Spiritual Root...
