Chapter 263: 263
There was dead silence in the dilapidated bodhisattva temple .
With a vacant look, Nie Changqing and Mo Tianyu stared at the man who slowly came through the Wall of Air .
“Young Master!”
“Young Master Lu!”
Nie Changqing and Mo Tianyu shouted simultaneously . They were surprised that Lu Fan really came to the bodhisattva temple .
It was his real body rather than a duplicate!
Young Master…left Beiluo Lake Island and came here!
How rare it was!
Wearing white clothes, Lu Fan sat straight in the Thousand Blades Chair . He shot a glance at Nie Changqing and Mo Tianyu, nodded slightly, and remained expressionless .
Terrifying waves of energy were roaring and rolling outside of the temple .
Darkness reigned as if the entire sky was covered by the giant hand .
“You should either go back to our world or stay here quietly . Don’t go out of this bodhisattva temple,” Lu Fan said .
Nie Changqing nodded . He knew that they were not capable enough to get involved in the battle outside .
Lu Fan turned to Mo Tianyu and said, “Don’t tell the fortune that you’re not supposed to tell…”
Mo Tianyu squeezed an awkward smile in an instant .
Just as he expected, his attempt somehow was detected by the mysterious Young Master Lu .
Mo Tianyu didn’t dare to tell Lu Fan’s fortune . He still vividly remembered how he was planted in the ground like a blade of grass .
As for Ding Jiudeng who was also in the bodhisattva temple…
Lu Fan took a brief look at him and didn’t talk . He controlled the Thousand Blades Chair and left the bodhisattva temple .
The wind was whistling outside of the bodhisattva temple . The snowstorm wrapped the field in murky darkness .
Sitting in the wheelchair, Lu Fan’s figure gradually disappeared in the snow .
Outside of the bodhisattva temple .
The sky was torn apart with a massive slash .
The Empress was sucked into the gash, her red robes billowing in the wind .
After she was drawn into the sky…
Du Longyang, Master Yuanshang, Tianxu, and Juedao all felt their hair rise on end when they heard a shrill cry of the Empress coming from the slash .
They struck at the same time without any hesitation .
They planned to rush in through the opening and change their fate . They didn’t want to be anyone’s pawn anymore .
The Empress successfully went through the calamities and ascended to the Immortal Realm .
They wanted to use this opportunity to investigate the truth about the Immortal Realm!
Why did the Empress screech so stridently?
The gigantic hand dashed against the full-on attack from four master cultivators . The frightening shock waves spread around .
Even the clouds seemed to be blasted away .
Du Longyang bellowed in anger . The spear released a brilliant golden radiance like the scorching sun .
Lu Fan went out of the bodhisattva temple .
The gust blew against him and made his clothes cling to his body .
Lu Fan raised his head and watched the battle above .
The four master cultivators appeared to be hindered by this giant hand .
Lines bounced in Lu Fan’s eyes . He realized that the hand contained a scary amount of strength from the Origin .
Du Longyang and the other three couldn’t break the barrier no matter how hard they tried .
It was exceedingly difficult for them to ascend to the Immortal Realm .
It looked that the Immortal Realm was unquestionably a lie . However, it also raised the question—what kind of a place is the Immortal Realm?
Lu Fan was intrigued .
Therefore, Lu Fan raised his hand, put it on the arm of the Thousand Blades Chair, and gently plucked forward .
The Phoenix Feather Sword immediately darted across the void toward the sky .
With a resounding crow, the flaming phoenix spread its wings that looked like two sharp burning blades .
The phoenix cracked against the giant hand!
Du Longyang’s eyes brightened up the moment he heard the resonant crow of the phoenix .
“Thank you, Young Master Lu!” Du Longyang said with a smile .
Bang!
Like a sharp sword, a piece of phoenix feather slashed the weakest point of the hand that was blotting out the sky . A deep gash appeared on the hand .
The four master cultivators were not ordinary nobodies . They seized the opportunity and fired on the hand together .
Bang!
The energy coalesced at the center of the palm and then exploded . The opening on the sky widened .
Young Master Tianxu usually enjoyed bickering with people . However, he charged at the slash on the sky without hesitation the moment he saw Lu Fan .
Despite all of the arrogant speech, Young Master Tianxu was terrified of meeting Lu Fan .
Lu Fan was so powerful and frightening that he could possess Young Master Tianxu’s body without him knowing .
It meant that Lu Fan could kill Young Master Tianxu unnoticed .
This idea became a nightmare for Young Master Tianxu .
How could he not dread about being possessed for no reason at all?
He was only boasting and inciting arguments to build up his courage .
In fact, he would outrun anyone the moment he meets Lu Fan again for real .
The palm couldn’t continue to hold out against Du Longyang and the others after being slashed open .
Du Longyang and the others all went past the palm through the opening .
The palm kept falling down with its mighty force .
Even the snowflakes flying in the air were trembling .
The bodhisattva temple almost blew up into pieces under the pressure of the hand .
However, Lu Fan snapped his fingers and sent out a wave . Surprisingly, the ramshackled bodhisattva temple became as solid as a rock .
Bang!
With a massive explosion…
The giant hand fell down and razed the site to the ground .
The high mountain that stretched for miles was flattened . The shabby bodhisattva temple was the only thing left standing in the middle of the level ground .
The Thousand Blades Chair carried Lu Fan’s body and floated up unhurriedly .
Du Longyang took the lead and arrived at the slit in the sky that was gradually healing . He held the spear in one hand and rushed through it with resolution and determination to change his fate .
Master Yuanshang and Juedao of the Supreme Knife School also followed him behind .
Young Master Tianxu, on the other hand, hesitated in front of the opening .
The wind blew the snow .
Sitting in the Thousand Blades Chair, Lu Fan glided toward Young Master Tianxu from behind .
Young Master Tianxu turned his head . His pale face became even ghastlier upon seeing Lu Fan . He scuttled through the slit without dawdling any longer .
Lu Fan didn’t know what to say .
Was he really so scary?
His real body should have the appearance of a charming and dapper young man .
He was supposed to be a cultured and refined gentleman .
What was there to be scared of?
Lu Fan started to assess the slit only just now .
Allegedly, the Immortal Realm was behind this opening . This was how people achieve Immortal Ascension .
“What a strong presence of the Origin…”
“Could this so-called Immortal Realm be the world of Origin?”
Lu Fan had a strange expression on his face .
Nevertheless, it was unlikely to be the world of Origin because Lu Fan had met Du Longyang and the others in the world of Origin before . Apparently, they knew how to enter the real world of Origin .
Lu Fan’s eyebrows knitted together . He pondered outside of the slit for a long time, yet still couldn’t make a decision .
Eventually, he controlled the Thousand Blades Chair and floated toward the slit .
Bang!
All of a sudden…
The moment Lu Fan moved through the opening .
A wave of a powerful Spiritual Sense surged at him .

“You are the Lord of the Plane of another world . Do you really want to intervene?”
Lu Fan could only see an endless expanse of whiteness .
A black shadow stood still in the whiteness and spoke in an ethereal voice .
“What happened to me today could happen to you some other time…” The black shadow continued to talk .
He seemed intent on stopping Lu Fan from going forward .
Lu Fan smiled and said, “No, we’re not the same . ”
The Spiritual Sense flickered, and everything in front of him disappeared as if the scene was torn apart .
Lu Fan sat in the Thousand Blades Chair and dashed through the slit .
Ding-dong .
It sounded like a pebble being tossed into the water .
Lu Fan could see clearly again .
Yet he realized that he was sitting in the wheelchair and floating on the mirror-like surface of a body of water .
Lu Fan lowered his head and could see his reflection on the surface of the lake .
“Is this the Immortal Realm?”
Lu Fan felt like his intelligence was insulted .
In the distance .
Du Longyang held the spear and stood still on the water . He looked around vacantly .
He felt a sense of loss .
Young Master Tianxu was the same .
Master Yuanshang and Ye Shoudao stood in silence as well . Their eyes were filled with disappointment .
Even though they had been shouting how badly they wanted to slay the Immortals, they were still looking forward to seeing the Immortal Realm . They felt like their hopes were shattered now that they actually stepped into the Immortal Realm .
All of a sudden .
Young Master Tianxu’s ashen face twitched as he asked, “Where is Ni Chunqiu, the Empress?”
Du Longyang and the other people became solemn . Indeed, they didn’t see any trace of the Empress in this world of lake .
The Empress ascended first yet vanished into thin air .
It unnerved Du Longyang and the others .
However, Lu Fan’s eyes sparkled as he stared at the lake .
“The water in the lake…doesn’t seem to be water!” Lu Fan said .
He raised his hand and made a pinching motion .
A drop of water immediately flew into Lu Fan’s palm and then quickly evaporated .
“Power of the Origin . ”
Lu Fan’s eyes glistened strangely .
The liquified Power of the Origin?
Lu Fan now understood what the so-called Power of the Origin was .
It was a power that came from the Origin of the world…
And a type of treasure generated by nature .
It could not only improve the person’s strength but also aid the cultivation process and help the cultivator understand the great Dao .
Right now, this entire lake was made of the Power of the Origin!
This was quite shocking .
How long would this take?
Was the Power of the Origin precious?
Of course . Lu Fan had a strong urge to move the whole Lake of Origin…
And to swap Beiluo Lake for this Lake of Origin .
All of a sudden .
They heard the sound of chains .
Everyone was startled .
They all raced at full speed to the depth of the lake that was enveloped in thick fog .
Walking on the lake was not a big deal for master cultivators in the Soul Transformation Realm .

Lu Fan was ruminating about how to take the water in the Lake of Origin away with him .
This thing was useless here . Lu Fan might as well take it back to Wuhuang Continent and use it to train cultivators .
However, after thinking for quite some time, Lu Fan didn’t figure out a way . So instead, he decided not to think about it too much for now and rolled the wheelchair across the surface of the lake into the fog .
All of a sudden .
Lu Fan stopped for a moment .
He raised his head and looked into the distance . An antiquated black iron ship slowly sailed toward them from the depth of the Lake of Origin .
Du Longyang, Young Master Tianxu, and the others stared at the black iron ship vigilantly .
They realized that the black iron ship was also dragging something enormous behind .
Rumbling…
Lu Fan focused his eyes and recognized that the thing the black iron ship was hauling was the Origin Lu Fan saw in the world of Origin in the past .
The massive Origin looked like a miniature star .
It floated on the lake and was dragged by the black iron ship .
They could see shadows of people on the black iron ship .
A touch of red flashed on the black iron ship . It was obvious that the Empress was on the black iron ship .
Du Longyang exchanged a look with the others .
They were all stunned . They initially thought that they would encounter the mythical “Immortals” once they charged into the Immortal Realm . They were even prepared to die in the battle . However…
The Immortals didn’t show up . All they saw was a series of peculiar phenomenons .
“Get on the ship! Ni Chunqiu is on the ship!” Du Longyang said .
He stepped on the lake and leaped onto the black iron ship . The surface of the lake blew up .
Master Yuanshang, Young Master Tianxu, and Ye Shoudao also jumped on the ship .
They became stiff as soon as they got on the ship .
There were several people sitting leg-crossed on the deck of the ship .
“This is…the ancestor of Dongyi from a thousand years ago . ”
“This is the first Martial Sovereign of Wudi City!”
“This is the Buddha from Kufo Temple!”
Du Longyang and the others were dumbstruck . All of these lifeless people sitting on the black iron ship were the legends who went through calamities and ascended to the Immortal Realm .
Yet now, these legends all became mummified, sitting on the black iron ship and floating in the boundless Lake of Origin .
Immortal Ascension?
Immortal Ascension was nothing but a cruel joke .
Eyes bloodshot, Du Longyang stared at the once-venerable Martial Sovereign of Wudi City .
He didn’t know what these people went through .
Lu Fan also stepped aboard at a leisurely pace . His eyebrows arched when he saw the people sitting on the deck .
Each one of these people was on a higher cultivation level than Du Longyang .
However, although their bodies were mummified, their souls and Spirit Qi had disappeared completely…
As if they were sucked dry .
Lu Fan looked at the huge Origin behind the black iron ship .
The star-like Origin seemed unusual to Lu Fan .
He remembered the giant eye in the Origin he encountered when he first went into the world of Origin .
These two must be connected somehow .
Du Longyang and the others got together and walked into the black iron ship .
They finally found the Empress in the back of the ship .
Nonetheless, everyone felt a chill down the spine the moment they saw the Empress .
Ascending to the Immortal Realm was such a lie .
The Empress was kneeling in the back of the ship with shackles restraining her body .
She was facing the giant Origin behind the ship .
Chains shot out of the star-like Origin and pierced through the Empress’s body . Blood was dripping from her wound onto the chains, which then vibrated and absorbed the blood .
Along with the cracking sound of the chains…
Ni Chunqiu, the Empress, moaned in agony .

Above her head .
Numerous chains tied up her transformed Nascent Soul and were pulling the transformed nascent soul out of her body .
The Empress’s strength and Spirit Qi burst out along the chains .
“Immortal Ascension… Immortal Ascension…”
Her phoenix coronet fell on the ground and broke into pieces .
“I cultivated studiously to go through calamities and ascend to heaven, yet only became someone else’s meal…” The Empress’s lips were stained by the blood streaming out of her mouth .
She forced a bitter and dreadful smile .
She more or less believed the wonderful dream of Immortal Ascension when she was ascending to the sky . However, her hopes were crushed straight away .
Horrifying chains shot out of the Origin, penetrated her body, and drew the energy out of her body .
All the power and strength she cultivated in these years were taken away without mercy .
In the distance…
Du Longyang and the others were thunderstruck with terror .
None of them actually wanted to believe that the Immortal Ascension was only a lie . After all, Immortal Ascension was their shared dream .
Still and all, the dream was now shattered so cruelly .
Du Longyang grasped the spear in his hand and roared in fury .
He stepped forward and hurled the spear immediately .
It was aimed directly at the giant Origin .
However .
Chains flew out of the Origin .
The spear was bounced back .
Du Longyang stamped on the deck and wanted to dodge the oncoming chains .
Nonetheless, something shocking happened .
Master Yuanshang appeared behind Du Longyang and punched his shoulder ruthlessly .
Coughing blood, Du Longyang couldn’t run away and was pierced by the chains .
Du Longyang kneeled down on the ground in disbelief .
The Origin released a terrifying sucking power .
Not only Du Longyang…
But also Master Yuanshang charged at Young Master Tianxu and Ye Shoudao at the same time .
Astonished, they were also transfixed by the chains coming from the Origin .
The Origin drew up their power .
The change of events was beyond anyone’s imagination .
Du Longyang’s eyes were bloodshot . He stared at Yuanshang in disbelief .
He had his guard up around Tianxu and Ye Shoudao, yet the idea never occurred to him that…
The noble and esteemed Master Yuanshang was the mole for the Immortals .
In the distance .
The Empress laughed even harder .
They schemed against the Immortals .
They planned to slay the Immortals . But they were still only pawns on the Immortals’ chessboard .
Master Yuanshang was the person who initiated the Immortal Slaying Plan .
Yet he was an agent for the Immortals .
Du Longyang and the others still followed Master Yuanshang like a bunch of fools .
Bullsh*t Immortal Slaying Plan .
It crashed instantly .
Master Yuanshang put his palms together with a peaceful and compassionate smile on his face .
He slowly turned around…
And looked at the other side of the black iron ship .
There, Lu Fan in the Thousand Blades Chair was Master Yuanshang’s last target .
He used all possible means to get Lu Fan involved in the Immortal Slaying Plan .
Needless to say, he wouldn’t let Lu Fan go now .
