My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1404 - 510: Ascension
"Loose Cultivator Wang Jun, pays respects to His Majesty Tian Wu, may His Majesty Tian Wu live long, live long, live a thousand years!"
Wang Jun.
The current number one Sword Cultivator in Heavenly Water, even among Divinity Transformation cultivators, his combat power is among the best. Upon entering the Boundless Hall, his first act was to respectfully bow to the Emperor on the Dragon Chair, as if he were no different from anyone else, just an ordinary servant.
Chen Sansi watched him perform quietly, and only after it ended did he speak: "Daoist Wang Jun, I hope you have been well since our farewell at the Demon Suppressing Tower. Now you have become the number one Sword Cultivator in Heavenly Water, which truly makes people feel sentimental."
"Thanks to His Majesty's blessings, I've made some small achievements in cultivation over the years, like stars greeting the bright moon, insignificant compared to His Majesty."
Wang Jun bowed his head, "Today, I have come regarding the matter of the Ascension Platform, imploring His Majesty Tian Wu to grant someone a quota within two thousand years."
He dared not directly request the ascension quota, instead extending the timeline to two thousand years to show continued humility and thereby express sincerity, speaking flawlessly.
"Hehe~"
Chen Sansi chuckled lightly twice: "Daoist Wang Jun, no need to be so tense. Once I set the rule of 'Merit-Based Ascension,' I naturally follow through with my words.
"Looking across the Human World, whether within the court or far and wide, in terms of meritorious service to the Human Race, no one is higher than Daoist Wang Jun.
"So this ascension quota can belong to none other than you, Daoist.
"And no need to wait for two thousand years; in half a month's time, the Ascension Platform will open as it does every three hundred years. You may stay in Sky Wall City and start preparing ahead."
"..."
Hearing this, an uncontrollable delight flashed deep in Wang Jun's pupils, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Tian Wu!"
Chen Sansi said no more.
Dongfang Jingxing immediately stepped forward to escort the person out of the Boundless Hall.
Chen Sansi looked at the familiar hall in front of him, feeling a bit reluctant for a moment.
Because…
In another three hundred years, he too would ascend.
He should start preparing as well.
After handling the day's state affairs, Chen Sansi invited Zhao Zhenyi of the Immortal Execution Sect to be a guest in Sky Wall City.
As for Li Guanfu, due to his limited lifespan, he had already ascended during the previous opening of the Ascension Platform.
Chen Sansi asked, "After ascending, will there be a complete severance from the Lower Realm?"
Zhao Zhenyi replied solemnly, "Ever since the great war in Ancient Times shattered the heavens and the earth, immortals joined forces to separate the heavens and the earth into two realms, the Upper and Lower Realm.
"The Lower Realm's spiritual energy is polluted and resources are scarce, supporting at most the training of Divinity Transformation cultivators.
"But it's rumored that the Upper Realm has abundant spiritual energy, with countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, allowing endless cultivation to the highest heights.
"To go to the Upper Realm, one must go through the void crack, which is the Ascension Platform.
"Once ascended, according to the experience of ancestors, there's really no way to return to the Lower Realm, unless you practice a special cultivation technique and are reborn in the Lower Realm to cultivate anew."
"So…"
Chen Sansi nodded, "I really have to say farewell to everyone, huh."
It would be impossible not to miss it.
After all, this is the path he came from.
But he cannot stop moving forward because of this.
He must continue to ascend and explore.
There are also issues with Sister's body that cannot be resolved in the mortal world; he must ascend to the Upper Realm to seek solutions.
Moreover, Sister Lan, Sun Li, and others have long left; others, whether brothers and sisters in the sect or future generations, all have their own paths to follow.
He cannot stay here forever with them.
But…
He still has to wait a little longer.
After the Kunxu battle, over six hundred years have passed. In another three hundred years, the court's immortal officials would have largely matured.
By then.
Chen Sansi can leave without worries.
After he leaves…
The court should also have a new Emperor.
Chen Duhe, this lad, has been Crown Prince for nearly a thousand years.
…
Half a month later.
Chen Sansi personally saw Wang Jun off as he ascended.
Since he conquered Kunxu, this was the third opening of the Ascension Platform.
Two years after that great war, it conveniently opened, and the quota was given to Murong Buxu.
The second time it was Li Guanfu.
This time, it was Wang Jun.
The ascension ceremony went very smoothly, with hardly any hindrance.
After that, Chen Sansi began another long retreat.
Time flew by, and another three hundred years went past.
The era of Tian Wu had reached one thousand and twenty years.
During this time, due to a lack of Cultivation Techniques and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Chen Sansi's stage ground to a halt, and his various memories also reached a bottleneck, with no significant improvement.
However, within the court, talents were abundant.
A thousand years of cultivation.
Wang Zhi and others, the brothers, all broke through to the Heaven and Earth Realm.
Qi Cheng, Dongfang Jingxing, and others had long condensed their Nascent Souls, reaching the late Nascent Soul stage to become Great Cultivators.
Chen Yunxi and several daughters were all at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul.
The disciples, Su Can in the late Nascent Soul stage, whereas Yu Ji and Yu Lie were slightly behind, a stage lower.
The most outstanding.
Was Crown Prince Chen Duhe.
Two hundred years ago, Chen Duhe had already broken through to the fifth stage of Incense Fire Martial Arts, corresponding to a Divinity Transformation cultivator, having combat power that was one of the top in the whole Human World.
Chen Sansi watched with his own eyes as the Han Empire became so powerful step by step, feeling deeply gratified.
On this day.
He gathered the officials in the Boundless Hall to announce to the world that he would ascend soon and then abdicate, letting Crown Prince Chen Duhe ascend the throne.
The news shocked the whole world.
For Wang Zhi and others, they really knew that this day wasn't far away, but when the moment truly came, their hearts were still full of reluctance.
