Chapter 697: Heavenly Majesty!
Heavenly Ascension Steps!
Li Ya tilted his head, searching for the Heavenly Ascension Steps that Yellow Wind Immortal Lord had mentioned, but no matter which direction he looked, he couldn't find them.
The young peasant boy was also looking for the Heavenly Ascension Steps.
The sky stretched endlessly, the universe magnificent and vast, with no end in sight. Beneath their feet, the cloud sea was equally expansive, making them feel as small as specks of dust.
After looking around, Li Ya couldn't help but ask, "Where are the Heavenly Ascension Steps? You didn't bring me here just to look at the sky, did you?"
Yellow Wind Immortal Lord smiled and said, "Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't be able to glimpse the celestial phenomena of the Heavenly Court. But today, I'll make an exception, and you'll witness a realm that even Celestial Deities can't comprehend."
This made Li Ya and the young peasant boy even more eager.
Yellow Wind Immortal Lord took a step forward, then lifted his robes and knelt down, raising his arms high. He began to chant an incantation that Li Ya and his disciple couldn't understand.
Li Ya and the young peasant boy grew more tense, looking up at the sky, waiting for the Heavenly Ascension Steps to appear.
The cloud sea stopped churning, and the sky and the starry universe fell into a silent, oppressive stillness.
As time passed, Li Ya and the young peasant boy gradually felt a tremendous pressure, a pressure that reminded them of the heavenly tribulations they faced during their ascensions.
Li Ya felt it the most; all the heavenly tribulations he had endured paled in comparison to the current Heavenly Majesty.
Suddenly, a golden light descended, illuminating Li Ya and his companions. Li Ya and the young peasant boy widened their eyes and opened their mouths in awe.
A beam of golden light rapidly descended from the depths of the universe, growing larger and larger, as if it were about to fill the entire cosmos.
Before Li Ya and the young peasant boy could react, the golden light had already landed, revealing an immense golden mountain, stretching countless miles in length and height impossible to estimate.
The young peasant boy gazed upward, his pupils filled with golden light.
Even Li Ya was taken aback. He looked up, trying to gauge the height of the golden mountain, which seemed to be a million feet tall.
If it were placed in the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, or even in the Heavenly Realms, it would be visible from afar.
Regardless, he had never seen such a massive mountain before, which made him forget his concerns and stare dumbfounded at the golden mountain.
The golden mountain gleamed with a radiant light, devoid of any plants or flowers, resembling a towering wall in front of them. After it landed, its presence became even more imposing, with no end in sight on either side.
Yellow Wind Immortal Lord slowly stood up, his eyes filled with reverence as he gazed at the million-foot-tall golden mountain.
"How could the Heavenly Ascension Steps be..."
Li Ya took a deep breath, looking at Yellow Wind Immortal Lord, and opened his mouth to ask, but before he could finish, another wave of Vast Heavenly Majesty descended, causing him to look up once more.
Next, he witnessed a scene he would never forget.
One by one, million-foot-tall golden mountains fell from the top of the universe, stacking on top of each other, shaking the clouds and the heavens.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire world seemed to tremble, the cloud sea churning like waves of flame. The young peasant boy stared in shock at the sky, his body trembling uncontrollably. Li Ya was a bit better off, but not by much.
The golden mountains continued to stack, rising higher and higher, forming a golden celestial staircase that stretched deep into the universe. Each step was a million feet high, giving the impression of an unclimbable, awe-inspiring presence, sacred and majestic.
After a while, the commotion in this world finally subsided.
Yellow Wind Immortal Lord waved his sleeve, leading Li Ya and the young peasant boy to a distant location, from where they could view the Heavenly Ascension Steps from a distance of billions of miles.
Even from such a distance, the Heavenly Ascension Steps still captured the attention of Li Ya and his disciple.
From this vantage point, the Heavenly Ascension Steps seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth, extending deep into the universe, with no end in sight. Li Ya and his companion looked at the Heavenly Ascension Steps, feeling that if they followed them, they could reach the pinnacle of the Dao.
This feeling was strange, but both of them inexplicably had the same thought.
"The Heavenly Ascension Steps are not just tall; each step contains immense Heavenly Majesty. To step on the first step, one must first reach the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit Realm. This realm is unimaginably distant for you. Only those who are listed among the immortals have a chance to reach it."
The Yellow Wind Immortal Lord spoke, his tone tinged with emotion.
Although he had seen the Heavenly Ascension Steps before, each time he did, he still felt a profound sense of awe.
The existence of the Heavenly Ascension Steps symbolized the unbridgeable gap between mortals and immortals!
Even as a Xianshen, the Yellow Wind Immortal Lord felt a deep reverence for the Heavenly Dao.
Li Ya did not respond; he was still in shock.
He could sense that each step of the Heavenly Ascension Steps contained the profound truths of the Great Dao, making him feel an overwhelming urge to kneel and worship.
The trembling young man in simple clothes could not withstand the Heavenly Majesty and collapsed on the cloud sea, his eyes vacant.
The Yellow Wind Immortal Lord turned to Li Ya and asked with a smile, "What will you choose now? Do you still want to ask him? Even if I cannot gain his favor through you, becoming a Xianshen is your greatest opportunity. Only by becoming a Xianshen can you achieve true immortality. I cannot harm you, for there is the Heavenly Law."
Li Ya instinctively wanted to agree, but when he opened his mouth, he forcibly suppressed the impulse.
After seeing the Heavenly Ascension Steps, he believed in the existence of the Heavenly Court. This belief was a result of the Heavenly Dao's influence on his soul, making it impossible for him to doubt.
However, since it involved Gu An, he had to be cautious.
The Yellow Wind Immortal Lord's words made him feel that the Immortal Lord was afraid of him meeting Gu An.
Was he really trying to gain Gu An's favor?
Li Ya took a deep breath and said, "I still want to find him first. I will try to convey your sincerity."
He was also afraid of the Yellow Wind Immortal Lord turning against him, so he left room for maneuver in his words.
The Yellow Wind Immortal Lord's smile remained, but it became increasingly eerie.
Li Ya sensed something was wrong and immediately grabbed the young man in simple clothes, putting some distance between them and the Yellow Wind Immortal Lord.
In the next moment, Li Ya's face changed drastically. He realized his magical power was frozen, and he looked at the Yellow Wind Immortal Lord with fear.
The young man in simple clothes also snapped out of his shock. When he saw the Yellow Wind Immortal Lord, he was terrified by the Immortal Lord's sinister smile.
The Yellow Wind Immortal Lord stared directly at Li Ya and sighed, "Mortal, I have treated you with such sincerity. Why do you still not trust me?"
Although Li Ya was terrified, he did not back down. He directly confronted the Immortal Lord, "What do you really want to do to Gu An? If you are truly a Xianshen, why are you resorting to these tricks?"
The Yellow Wind Immortal Lord sneered, "I have not lied to you. I genuinely want to recruit him and make him a Xianshen. But if he refuses, the Heavenly Court will have to eliminate him. No one can refuse the Heavenly Court's invitation. If you don't understand, you must understand today!"
Boom!
His aura suddenly erupted, and the clothes on his body were burned away by the flames. His flesh turned to ashes and flew off, and his figure grew taller, revealing his true form.
Golden-red halos circled his body, and his face, though still old, appeared even more majestic. Two divine beast phantoms rose behind his head, intertwining with each other.
The yellow robe fluttered, and the immortal aura billowed, making the true form of the Yellow Wind Immortal Lord radiate an aura of supreme authority.
