From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 309 Immortal Realm Ascension, A New Journey Begins

Wen Chen's appearance gave me immense courage, but it also made me more worried.

The power of this mysterious creature is too strange; even I feel my heart pounding. How could he possibly withstand it?

I gripped his hand tightly; my fingertips were icy cold, but I felt the warmth of his palm, as if I had grasped a lifeline.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Wen Chen's voice was soft, but it carried a reassuring power.

The white light surrounding him grew stronger and stronger, enveloping the three of us and forming a protective barrier.

The black mist seemed to sense a threat, letting out a sharp screech before lunging at us.

Wen Chen's eyes sharpened, and a long sword gleaming with golden light suddenly appeared in his hand. The sword was radiant and exuded a powerful aura.

Without hesitation, he swung his sword at the black mist. The sword light pierced the darkness like a bolt of lightning, illuminating the entire space.

"boom--"

With a loud bang, the black mist was shattered by the sword light, emitting a shrill scream as it tumbled and struggled in the air before finally disappearing.

Before I could even catch my breath, I saw the enormous monster charging at us again. It opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs, and a stench assaulted our senses, making us want to vomit.

"Xiao Yao, are you ready?" The ethereal immortal's voice rang in my ears, tinged with solemnity.

I took a deep breath, and Zi Ling also gripped her weapon tightly, her face pale but her eyes resolute.

"Come on!" I shouted, mobilizing all the power within me to prepare for this final battle.

The mysterious creature was incredibly fast, arriving in front of me almost in the blink of an eye. I could even feel its hot breath on my face, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

Just as it was about to hit me, I suddenly released all the power within me, and a powerful wave of energy spread outwards from me.

A deafening roar shook the entire space violently. I felt as if I had been struck by a tremendous force, and my body was thrown backward uncontrollably...

"Xiao Yao!" Wen Chen's voice rang in my ears, anxious and worried.

I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and my consciousness gradually faded...

"Quick...go..." I used my last bit of strength to utter those two words...

I felt like all the bones in my body were shattered, my internal organs were churned up, a metallic taste rose in my throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

My vision blurred, my ears were ringing, and my body was swaying so badly I could barely stand.

"Xiao Yao!" The voices of the ethereal immortal and Zi Ling came from afar, filled with anxiety and worry.

I tried to respond to them, but no sound came out.

I saw the ethereal immortal waving his whisk, trying to rush over, but he was blocked by an invisible force and could only watch helplessly as I fell.

Ziling was so anxious that she stomped her feet, but she couldn't get close to me either.

Damn!

The power of this mysterious creature was so great that even after being severely injured, the aftershocks were still able to keep them at bay.

I gritted my teeth and tried to steady myself, only to find that I had almost no strength left in my body.

The enormous monster staggered to its feet, its body covered in wounds and its breath growing weaker, but its eyes still gleamed with a fierce light.

It walked towards me step by step, each step feeling like it was stomping on my heart, making me feel a suffocating pressure.

I was powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as it approached.

"Xiao Yao, what are you doing?" The ethereal immortal's voice was full of doubt and confusion.

Zi Ling also shouted anxiously, "Xiao Yao, get out of the way!"

Hide? I gave a bitter laugh. I can barely stand up right now, where can I hide?

I took a deep breath, slowly closed my eyes, and gave up resisting.

Seeing that I no longer resisted, the mysterious creature opened its blood-red maw, let out a deafening roar, and pounced on me...

"Right now!" I snapped my eyes open, a cold smile playing on my lips.

At this critical moment, I poured all the power I had accumulated in my dantian into the seemingly ordinary stone in my hand.

This stone was something I obtained by chance during my battle with the mysterious creature. At the time, I only felt that it was emitting a faint warmth, but now it has become my last hope.

Suddenly, the stone burst forth with a blinding light, the golden radiance illuminating the entire space like a blazing sun, completely enveloping the ferocious and terrifying beast.

I felt a powerful force surging from the stone, flowing through my entire body, as if every cell was cheering and jumping for joy.

"Roar—" The mysterious creature let out a shrill scream, its huge body trembling violently. Cracks began to appear in its once indestructible skin, and golden light burrowed into its body like maggots, constantly eroding its life force.

I could feel its fear, its despair, and its powerless struggle in the face of death.

And I stood there calmly, feeling the power surging within me, savoring this hard-won victory.

Finally, the mysterious creature let out a final, unwilling roar, its massive body collapsing with a crash, turning into a cloud of black mist that slowly dissipated.

At the same time, a strange power surged out from the mist and entered my body.

I felt as if my body had been struck by lightning, a tingling sensation spreading throughout my entire body.

The spiritual energy within his dantian surged wildly, and his cultivation level increased at a visible speed, as if he had broken through some kind of shackle and entered a completely new realm.

A dazzling light emanated from my body, illuminating the entire space.

I slowly opened my eyes, feeling an unprecedented power, as if the whole world was under my control.

I looked down at my hands. They were no longer the weak and powerless hands they once were, but were full of power, enough to change the world.

"Yao'er!" A familiar voice rang in my ears.

I looked up and saw Wen Chen standing not far away, his eyes full of surprise and love, walking towards me step by step.

I looked at him, my eyes filled with love, and all my weariness and pain vanished.

He walked up to me and gently pulled me into his arms. I hugged him tightly, feeling his warm embrace and his heartbeat.

The people around us smiled with relief and showered us with blessings.

At this moment, the whole world was filled with warmth and romance, as if time had stood still, leaving only the two of us.

“We…” I looked up into his deep eyes and spoke softly.

"We finally did it," I whispered, leaning on Wen Chen's shoulder.

A warm current emanated from him, dispelling the fatigue of the past few days.

The weakness from the previous fierce battle was swept away, replaced by an unprecedented sense of power surging through my limbs and bones.

“Yes,” Wen Chen gently stroked my hair, “Next, we will reach the place where immortal techniques are passed down.” His voice trembled slightly, a mixture of anticipation and worry.

The ethereal immortal had already packed his belongings at some point. He walked up to us, lightly waved his whisk, and a pale golden light enveloped us.

"Come on, children, the land where immortal arts are passed down awaits you." He remained as mysterious as ever, yet his tone carried a hint of encouragement.

Ziling skipped over, grabbed my hand, and said excitedly, "Sister Xiaoyao, we can finally go to the land of immortal techniques! I heard there are many powerful immortal techniques there, and I must learn the most powerful one!" Her eyes sparkled, full of anticipation for the future.

I smiled and pinched her cheek. "Okay, let's go together."

The four of us boarded a flying boat formed from celestial energy. The boat was crystal clear and emitted a soft light.

Standing on the flying boat, with a rolling sea of ​​clouds below, it felt like being in a fairyland.

A gentle breeze caressed my cheeks, bringing a touch of coolness, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance, making me feel refreshed and relaxed.

I took a deep breath, my heart filled with anticipation.

The land where immortal techniques are passed down is a place full of unknowns and challenges, and it is also a sacred place that we cultivators dream of.

There, we will have the opportunity to learn more powerful immortal techniques, improve our cultivation, and ultimately reach the pinnacle of immortal cultivation.

The airship slowly rose and flew into the distance.

I glanced back at the place where we had fought; it was now peaceful, as if nothing had ever happened.

But I know that there we went through a life-or-death battle and gained valuable experience and strength.

"The place where immortal techniques are passed down is just ahead." The ethereal immortal's voice interrupted my thoughts.

I looked up and followed his gaze. I saw a majestic peak standing amidst the sea of ​​clouds, with an ancient temple faintly visible on its summit.

“Let’s go,” Wen Chen said, taking my hand with a determined look in his eyes. “Let’s face the new challenges together.”

I held his hand tightly, my heart filled with strength.

I know that whatever awaits us ahead, we will face it together.

The flying boat slowly landed at the foot of the mountain, and we stepped onto the stone steps leading to the temple.

The stone steps wind upwards, stretching as far as the eye can see.

"Let's go." I took a deep breath and took my first step...

"Wait..." Wen Chen suddenly grabbed my hand, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, "I..."
