As the guide responsible for receiving ascenders in the Heaven-Subduing Domain of the Immortal Realm, the moment he received movement from an Ascension Passage in the lower realms, he immediately rushed over to receive them.

At ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍present, the Immortal Realm had already descended into utter chaos. The various Heavenly Domains were fighting each other to the death, while those Great Immortals were even more unable to spare the time to deal with all kinds of problems.

Because ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍of this, the Ascension Passages of the various Heavenly Domains had already been affected, and many ascenders from the lower realms had died because of problems with the passages.

These ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍were precisely the fresh forces the Immortal Realm currently needed, so the various Heavenly Domains had arranged a series of people as Guides, responsible for bringing those ascenders into the Immortal Realm from the affected Ascension Passages.

Being ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍a Guide was not an easy job. Although it was not as terrifying as the frontlines of the current Immortal Realm war, those corrupted passages also contained quite a few revived Immortal Corpses.

The ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍slightest carelessness could result in death, so Gu Ning had always acted with extreme caution. Fortunately, some unknown change had occurred in the lower realms, and the number of ascenders had grown fewer with each passing year.

Basically, Gu Ning might only receive one ascender every one or two years. Now, three years had already passed without him receiving any sign of someone in the lower realms opening the Heavenly Gate.

After enjoying peace for so long, it was rare for a mission to finally appear. Although it was located in the dangerous Profound Heaven Domain, where there were not only traces of Evil Demon corrosion, but also revived Ancient Immortal Corpses.

Even so, Gu Ning still chose to go receive the ascender. Yet unexpectedly, after opening the passage to the Immortal Realm and traversing the void to arrive here.

The moment he showed up, he ran straight into a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator.

With the strength of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the situation surrounding Li Tianwei naturally could not escape his perception.

He could not sense even the slightest trace of Immortal Power from Li Tianwei. Moreover, the spirit and flesh of the person before him had not yet merged into one, meaning that he was not even a Union Realm cultivator. There was only a little divine charm between his brows, and from this, Gu Ning could determine that Li Tianwei was merely a minor Spirit Transformation cultivator.

That was precisely why Gu Ning wanted to curse upon sensing Li Tianwei’s aura.

Every time he went to receive someone, he had to risk his life, yet after coming all the way down here, the person he was supposed to receive was merely a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

Although the Immortal Realm also had Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators, those were merely descendants left behind after some Immortals committed absurd acts.

But Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators like this were everywhere in the Immortal Realm. The cultivators he was supposed to receive were Immortal Cultivators capable of ascending and becoming Immortals.

Those people were all outstanding figures in the lower realms. Whether in perseverance, temperament, or anything else, they were all first-rate existences, and even the worst among them could become Earth Immortals.

Among the Great Powers of the Immortal Realm, there were quite a few ascenders from the lower realms. Those were the kinds of existences he needed to receive.

But now, inside the Ascension Passage, there was none of the Immortal he had imagined. Instead, there was merely a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

At this moment, he was beginning to suspect whether the Immortal Realm had already rotted to the core, lowering the threshold of Ascension Tribulations in order to save itself and beginning to allow even Spirit Transformation cultivators to ascend into the Immortal Realm.

“Bastard, what exactly is going on.”

Gu Ning frowned, struggling for a while as he did not know what to do.

“Forget it, who cares what Realm he is in. I’ll bring him up first.”

“It wasn’t easy getting assigned to a somewhat safer position like this. I can’t just give it up, or I might get dragged back to the frontlines.”

Thinking of this, Gu Ning had already made his decision.

As for Li Tianwei, he was also looking Gu Ning up and down, this figure who had emerged from the void. It had to be said that Gu Ning’s appearance was rather good.

His entire aura was ethereal, Circular Radiance shone behind him, and when paired with his handsome face, he indeed looked somewhat Immortal-like.

And Gu Ning, who had already reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm, had undergone who knew how many refinements and transformations of his physical body. He was unstained by turbid aura and gave off an exceptionally clean feeling.

It was precisely because of this that Li Tianwei did not choose to immediately activate a Divine Ability and blast him to death the moment he appeared.

After struggling with the decision, Gu Ning ultimately decided to take Li Tianwei away.

“Kid, this place is not suitable for staying long. Quickly come with me.”

Gu Ning did not care what Li Tianwei was doing! His gaze swept toward that terrifying figure behind them, towering into the heavens and clad in golden armor, and he immediately spoke to Li Tianwei.

“I didn’t expect there really to be an Ancient Immortal Corpse here.”

Seeing that enormous figure, Gu Ning’s expression also became solemn as he looked around, searching for a way to leave.

Immediately afterward, Gu Ning formed hand seals. With a sweep of his sleeve, a whirlwind rose up and wrapped around Li Tianwei. Under Gu Ning’s control, he brought Li Tianwei directly toward the depths of the darkness.

Li Tianwei merely kept looking at Gu Ning without speaking, nor did he have any intention of stopping him. Instead, his eyes continuously investigated the void.

It would have been better if he had not investigated. The moment he did, Li Tianwei discovered that this place was anything but safe.

Within the endless darkness of the void were countless existences similar to the golden-armored Immortal Corpse from before.

Even deeper within, there was an entire formation of existences even taller than that ten-thousand-zhang golden-armored Immortal Corpse.

They constantly radiated an aura of danger. That was right, even Li Tianwei could sense danger from them, showing just how dangerous this place was.

If even Li Tianwei felt danger, let alone Gu Ning.

At this moment, Gu Ning was already close to breaking down. He had originally planned to bring Li Tianwei to a safe place, then activate a Formation connected to the Immortal Realm and head there.

Yet unexpectedly, just after escaping from that terrifying Ancient Immortal Corpse and taking Li Tianwei slightly to the left, he instinctively sensed danger. He immediately changed direction, only to encounter that familiar aura once again.

“Damn it, what kind of hellish place is this!”

After changing directions again and again, the Immortal Corpses around them seemed to be continuously closing in.

Seeing this, Gu Ning could not help swallowing.

Although he knew that this area of the Profound Heaven Domain had already suffered an invasion by Evil Demons, and that this place had once been an ancient battlefield where many Immortals had fallen during ancient times.

But once he truly entered, Gu Ning finally understood that this place was not merely dangerous. It was simply terrifying.

“Could something really have gone wrong.”

Even so, Gu Ning still did not abandon Li Tianwei and continued bringing him along.

Gu Ning looked left and right, searching for a way to break out of the situation.

As for Li Tianwei, he watched Gu Ning flee around in panic and also had many things he wanted to ask. However, seeing Gu Ning’s expression and that he clearly had no intention of communicating with him, Li Tianwei chose not to ask anything.

But Gu Ning was ultimately not Li Tianwei. Although he genuinely avoided danger several times through the strength and perception of a Heavenly Immortal.

Gu Ning’s Immortal aura was like an irresistible delicacy within this endless void.

Moreover, when the Main System had arranged this situation for Li Tianwei earlier, it had deliberately opened the opposite side of the Heavenly Gate in the most dangerous region.

Its original intention had been to have the Immortal Corpses and whatever else inside completely kill Li Tianwei.

One could easily imagine how difficult it would be to safely pass through this place.

Very soon, Gu Ning plunged straight into danger. The void ahead no longer gave Gu Ning another chance like before to narrowly avoid it again.

Rumble……

Within the dim void, a colossal hand that blotted out the heavens crossed space and pressed directly down toward Gu Ning.

Strange runes surged across the gray-white, deathly hand, while a corrosive aura rushed toward them.

Beneath the enormous palm that covered the heavens and sun, Gu Ning and Li Tianwei appeared incomparably tiny.

“Damn it, this is bad.”

Seeing this, Gu Ning’s face instantly turned pale. He no longer cared whether erupting with power would alert the other Immortal Corpses and immediately formed hand seals to cast a spell.

“Jade Purity Linked Intent……”

The mighty power of a Heavenly Immortal instantly erupted, surrounding Gu Ning in the blink of an eye as streams of light spilled in every direction.

An indescribable aura carrying an extremely pure and clear power spread outward, and countless Heavenly Lotuses bloomed within the void in an instant.

They directly met the gray-white hand reaching down from the heavens.

Rumble……

The two heaven-shaking mighty powers instantly collided, sending ripples of force surging through the surroundings, as though the area itself was showing signs of collapse.

Amid such a disturbance, strange sounds began echoing through the gloomy void, and pairs of crimson pupils lit up deep within.

The radiance of the artifacts upon the golden armor pierced through the endless void. Clearly, Gu Ning’s eruption had awakened the Immortal Corpses throughout this region, and they were now all coming toward this place.

“This is bad, we’re finished.”

Seeing this, Gu Ning showed no joy whatsoever at having blocked that gray-white giant hand. Instead, he looked around blankly like a headless fly.

“If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come to receive anyone. Maybe I could’ve escaped.”

In the end, Gu Ning looked at Li Tianwei with slight resentment, his eyes filled with regret.

As for Li Tianwei, he met Gu Ning’s gaze with an equally confused expression, unable to understand what this fellow Gu Ning was trying to do.

The moment they met, he had dragged Li Tianwei away, then caused such a huge commotion, and now he was even blaming Li Tianwei.

Seeing that Li Tianwei still looked perfectly calm and completely unaware of the situation, Gu Ning could only sigh inwardly. Truly, the ignorant were fearless!

Very quickly, within the void, dozens of terrifying figures towering into the heavens completely surrounded the area.

These figures all had uniformly deathly gray-white skin and wore identical golden armor, making them look like soldiers.

Yet each of them possessed an immense aura. Even the slightest trace they emitted was who knew how many times stronger than a Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator.

Without a doubt, these corpse-like existences were all beings above Immortals.

Yet existences above Immortals like these were clad in golden armor and looked just like expendable frontline soldiers.

Using Immortals as expendable frontline soldiers made it difficult to imagine just how enormous the force that possessed these soldiers must have been.

After surrounding Li Tianwei and Gu Ning, those Immortal Corpses also began to move.

No one knew what was driving them. The moment they moved, the runes upon their golden armor lit up.

In an instant, the originally gloomy void was completely illuminated.

At this moment, the true appearance of the entire void was finally revealed.

Ruins filled the heavens, while countless broken corpses and severed limbs floated through the void. Fragments of all kinds of Magical Artifacts and treasures were scattered everywhere, and it was easy to see that those treasures had already become dull and lifeless.

In nearly every direction stood staggering giant corpses clad in golden armor.

Every one of these scenes proclaimed just how terrifying a battle had once erupted in this region.

Gu Ning also saw the change in the void, and it immediately stirred memories of the bloody battles he had once fought on the frontlines, though compared with this place, they had not been nearly as intense.

Which of these Immortal Corpses was not ten thousand zhang tall? The golden armor on their bodies was unquestionably an absolute treasure, let alone the fact that even after being dead for who knew how long, their terrifying physical bodies still possessed the might to destroy everything.

Every sign indicated that these giants had absolutely possessed strength surpassing Heavenly Immortals while alive.

Faced with this situation, Gu Ning had already given up struggling.

He could only watch helplessly as these giant corpses approached him.

“Kid, although I don’t know what the lower realm you came from did to somehow bring you up here, now that you’ve encountered something like this, you can only blame your bad luck.”

Gu Ning turned to look at Li Tianwei and let out a deep sigh.

“My name is Li Tianwei.”

Hearing Gu Ning call him “kid” every other sentence, Li Tianwei also became somewhat displeased.

Gu Ning had originally thought Li Tianwei might have something he wanted to ask, but instead, he merely gave his name.

Regarding this, Gu Ning could only say that this kid before him truly did not understand the situation. A mere Spirit Transformation cultivator was still this arrogant.

So arrogant that even a Heavenly Immortal like himself had come to accompany him in death. Gu Ning could not help reviewing his entire life, carefully thinking about whether he had done something wrong to deserve such Retribution.

“No, I can’t die this pathetically. Even if I die, I have to drag one down with me.”

After reviewing his life, Gu Ning immediately pulled himself together again, slapped his own face a few times, and glared viciously at those terrifying Ancient Immortal Corpses before him.

Looking at their terrifying bodies towering into the heavens, along with the runes naturally present on their flesh.

Without a doubt, these fellows had all walked the path of Sanctifying the Physical Body.

“Can I take one down with me?”

Gu Ning immediately thought that this was extremely unlikely.

At the very least, he had never encountered fellows like these on the battlefield he had previously fought on. If they entered a battlefield, they would absolutely be war machines capable of destroying everything.

Seeing Gu Ning suddenly stand after violently slapping his own face several times, Li Tianwei was also utterly speechless.

“Why are they all such unreliable fellows?”

“I’m ascending, right! Don’t tell me I’ve somehow been sent to another abnormal place.”

“Having one System is annoying enough, and now the moment I enter the Heavenly Gate, another idiot gets thrown at me!”

Li Tianwei looked at Gu Ning with undisguised disdain.

The System inside Li Tianwei’s consciousness was once again innocently caught in the crossfire, and could only express helplessness.

While Li Tianwei was thinking, Gu Ning had already thrown himself forward without regard for anything.

The full might of a Heavenly Immortal erupted from his entire body, and an Immortal Shadow rose behind him.

It was condensed and combined from the Immortal Power within his body, and compared with those Immortal Corpses, it also looked considerably more massive.

But there were dozens of Immortal Corpses surrounding them, and every single one was an existence that had become an Immortal through the physical body.

Gu Ning’s all-out eruption struck directly against those Immortal Corpses, yet astonishingly, it did not even produce the slightest ripple.

“It’s over.”

Seeing this, Gu Ning no longer had any intention of resisting.

“If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come.”

Gu Ning watched as the golden armor on those Immortal Corpses lit up, runes surged forth, and completely different powers smashed toward him.

Gu Ning also saw the difference between himself and them and fell completely into despair.

In his eyes, there was absolutely no possibility whatsoever of surviving.

Just as he waited for death, the void that had originally been illuminated by those Immortal Corpses suddenly welcomed an even brighter light.

And this time, the light carried an endlessly pure and immaculate power, resembling the methods of those bald donkeys from the Western regions.

“What the hell.”

Gu Ning could not help looking toward the source of the light, his mouth falling wide open.
