Chapter 458: Chapter 241: The Ability of the Light Golden Mouse_1
 

After being illuminated by a beam of light, White Painting began to ascend uncontrolled into the sky. This light bestowed a magnificent and mysterious aura, emitting a pressure far more potent than when White Painting successfully transformed into a flood dragon.

This indicated that the process of ascension would not face any obstacles.

Watching this scene, Lin Yi activated the Eye of Emptiness, eager to observe the scene during ascension. Perhaps he might even catch a glimpse of the Upper Realm, or gain some profound insights from the experience.

Beforehand, he had used the Predict Crisis function and had not sensed any imminent danger.

Meanwhile, he had bestowed upon himself the title of Crisis Predictor. Under this title, as long as it was related to destiny, he could see its essence.

Then, Lin Yi turned his gaze to the sky, where the light was spraying from. Initially, he only felt that the light contained a more potent energy than spiritual energy. As he delved deeper, he sensed that there was also a covert, unknown law hidden within.

He did not delve further, but instead cast his gaze on a sudden gap in the sky. This aperture was covered by a layer of light, invisible to naked eyes.

With the insight of the Eye of Emptiness, his vision pierced through the luminosity, vaguely seeing that on the other side of the gap, two young cultivators were waiting. One had a mouth resembling a beak, notably sharp, while the other had a face covered in fur.

Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a throbbing pain in his mind, and the scene before him abruptly broke off. Seeing White Painting about to ascend to the gap, he hastily pressed through the pain, casting his glance toward the abducting light, and saw the inexplicable essence of the law.

The light leading the ascension seemed to be the Space Law, irresistible, unbreakable, the law that allowed ascension to the space of the Upper Realm.

Just a few seconds after his realization, an intense pain struck his mind. The tearing sensation returned, and he, clutching his forehead, disactivated the Eye of Emptiness.

Zhang Dao Xuan, witnessing this scene, lightly waved his hand. A stream of energy appeared from the formation, entering Lin Yi’s mind. This was how he replenished the soul body, “Young man, take it easy, don’t try to comprehend everything you see.”

Immediately, Lin Yi felt a calming sensation in his aching mind, and bowed respectfully to Zhang Dao Xuan, “Thank you, Master. I was just curious to see whether I could peer through this gap and see the Upper Realm.”

“Such curiosity, although common in others, is rare in someone as cautious as you,” Zhang Dao Xuan laughed and shook his head.

“Hehe, disciple knows his limits,” Lin Yi chuckled. Without the Predict Crisis function, he wouldn’t dare to casually use the Eye of Emptiness to observe the Heavenly Tribulation.

At that moment, a bird demonic beast suddenly flew by, rushing toward the sky at full speed. It seemed to want to hitch a ride with White Painting’s ascension, sneaking into the Upper Realm.

The master and disciple both looked into the sky. Zhang Dao Xuan’s face showed no change and he had no intention of stopping the demonic bird.

The moment the demonic bird touched the light in an attempt to dive into it, it was instantly sliced into two by the light, falling to the ground, while White Painting, who was in the light, remained unharmed.

The demonic beasts below who had had the idea of sneaking looked on, retreated their heads, and escaped from the scene.

At this moment, White Painting had ascended to the gap. She bowed toward the ground below, then flew through the gap, which closed instantly, as if it never existed.

Seeing the gap disappear and peace returning to the Secret Realm, Zhang Dao Xuan sighed, “Ah, after a thousand years of cultivation, White Painting finally ascended to the Upper Realm today. The Dan God himself would surely be pleasantly surprised.”

Lin Yi thought of the cultivator with the bird-like beak and asked, “Master, is the place where the monster beasts and spirit beasts surface after ascending the same place where human cultivators emerge after their ascension?”

Zhang Dao Xuan shook his head, “Ever since my real body ascended to Upper Realm, there’s been no information transferred down. Based on the information I got before, transmitting information from the Upper Realm to the Lower Realm is extremely difficult. Perhaps only the top-tier sects have such capability.”

“Consequently, I do not know whether White Painting ascends to the same place as human cultivators,” he added.

Lin Yi nodded, understanding that perhaps it was a way to maintain the balance. Otherwise, information randomly transmitted by the cultivators from the Upper Realm could easily disrupt the equilibrium among the sects in the Lower Realm.

He guessed that the Dan God’s cultivation realm might have reached Fusion, which probably equates to the Golden Core realm in the Lower Realm, and naturally, wouldn’t make them invincible in the Upper Realm.

According to the doubled lifespan calculation, the lifespan of a Nascent Soul is a thousand, a Divinity Transformation, two thousand, a Refining Void, four thousand, and a Fusion, eight thousand. The Dan God himself had already had a lifespan limit of eight thousand years.

After all, being the Dan God famous across the Lower Realm, reaching Fusion from Divinity Transformation in one or two thousand years after reaching the Upper Realm was not particularly difficult.

Through the observation from the Eye of Emptiness, he now knew that the place White Painting surfaced after her ascension was likely a designated area for monster beasts or spirit beasts’ ascension. This would prevent them from being captured by human cultivators, used as gate guarding spiritual beasts or mounts.

Yet, from that brief glimpse, he had a vague feeling that the two cultivators, carrying slight traits of monster beasts, seemed to harbor malicious intentions. He hoped it was just his imagination.
