Ascending Cliff, Vicissitude House, Southern Divinity!There was an Ascending Cliff located in each prefecture in the Divinity. The Ascending Cliff at Vicissitude House happened to be by the sea. The cliff enjoyed a height of over 20 miles, and it protruded like an eagle"s beak suspending in the sky.
The waves billowed, hitting the cliff with a deafening sound. The cutting and blinding wreaked havoc above the cliff. The timid people might even have the courage to stand on the cliff for they might be blown off by the fierce wind.
At the moment, there were quite a number of people standing on the cliff. The total number reached over 30. Some had strange appearances, for instance, with green skin, or three eyes or some features that made those people look like monsters.
Apart from three people, the others sat with their legs crossed on one side. The other three sat on the other side. The three of them wore dark blue armors. They adopted frosty looks, as frosty as century-old ice. They appeared to be middle-aged men. But their breath of life indicated that they were advanced in ages, as old as the cliff.
The other thirty-some people had different emotions. Some were curious and excited. Those people checked their surroundings carefully. Their actions indicated that they were first comers to the Divinity.
There was a large altar in the middle of the crowd. The altar was old with some small cracks. People would wonder if the altar could still function.
"Buzzing~"
At that moment, the altar suddenly began to glow. It was not a bright glare. There was such a faint glow traveling along the lines on the altar. A breath of age spread out from the altar.
"Someone new is ascending!"
A person said with excitement. But he stopped talking at once, afraid to say another word, after a warrior in the blue armor threw a cold glare.
"Buzzing~"
The glow in the altar began to die down. Someone was coming. It was a young man with white hair who had a cyan colored robe.
"The Divinity!"
When the young man arrived and opened his eyes, he said the two words. He could not keep down the excitement in his eyes. Anyone that could ascend to the Divinity after years of hard-working wound finds it hard to control themselves.
"The Xuan Qi is so rich, the breath of history!"
The young man murmured again when he had an initial feeling of the Divinity. However, before he could finish his exclaim, he heard a cold voice, "Go over there and sit down. Wait for the messengers to pick you up."
The young man with white hair was Lu Li. He came to his senses and cupped his fists to the warrior talking to him with respect. Then, he walked into a corner and sat down.
The Deaf Taoist had warned Lu Li to remain a low profile when in the Divinity. Lu Li understood the severity of it all. He controlled his energy and he looked like just another John Doe.
That being said…
No matter how he tried to keep a low profile, he still caught the attention of others because Lu Li was young. Of the over thirty people sitting here, some may appear young, they were in fact much older than Lu Li. The youngest of others would be about 70 or 80 years old.
"Yo, the white-haired, how old are you?"
A macho man next to Lu Li could not help but ask. This man spoke the ancient language, which was commonly used in the Divinity. The man"s accent was not standard, but Lu Li could understand.
"Shut up. Anyone dares to raise a cry and hue will be thrown into the Sea of Vicissitudes immediately. There are many beasts in there. Do not blame us if you cannot live."
A blue-armored warrior turned over coldly. Lu Li and the others looked at the warrior into his eyes. At that moment, everyone felt their souls had been frozen. They kept quiet out of fear and n.o.body dared to say another word.
The macho man was a bit upset. However, as a newcomer, he could not afford to be arrogant. They were new immortals. But the three warriors in blue armors were powerful. They must have become immortals years ago.
Lu Li sat there and said no word. He checked the surroundings quietly. He wanted to check Little White but could not take out the Wicked Bead at the moment. If the three blue-armored warriors noticed the Wicked Bead and wanted it, that could cost Lu Li"s life.
"The s.p.a.ce in Divinity is stable. I think there is something strange in the s.p.a.ce trapping us. Are we not allowed to fly in the Divinity?"
Lu Li was taken aback after some secret checking. Just now, he walked slowly so he did not notice. Now, he realized something was unusual upon moving his arms and body.
He did not have the courage to try flying. He sat there, quietly. Two hours later, the altar glowed again. Another man had ascended.
Lu Li looked around. This was a crowd of many special races. He even sensed someone had breaths of beasts. He thought to himself that there were countless mortal worlds. It was just that those words were not connected to the Heaven Reverse Universe. There could be no other explanation for those immortals here.
What was more, those here clearly had just become immortals. How could there be so many immortals ascending to the Divinity if there were only a few mortal worlds?
The Deaf Taoist mentioned that the southern Divinity had seventy to eighty Ascending Cliffs. Then the entire Divinity should have hundreds of Ascending Cliff. Every moment, there would be people ascending. How many mortal worlds there would be?
"Buzzing~"
An hour later, another immortal had ascended. This time, it was a handsome young man with wings.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
As soon as he came up, he laughed into the sky. He kept mumbling something. Lu Li did not understand his words. Anyways, the young man was arrogant and full of himself.
"Shut up!"
A blue-armored warrior shouted coldly. That pretty man might not understand the language in the Divinity, or he was too conceited. Either way, he ignored the blue-armored warrior and kept laughing. He spread his wings and tried to take flight.
"Eh…"
Lu Li saw that the pretty man flapped his wings and could only be about thirty feet above the ground. He could not reach any higher. He must be weighted down by a strong power.
"Courting death!"
That blue-armored warrior flew into rage. He took out a blood-red rod and smacked at the waist of the pretty man.
"Bang~"
The blue-armored warrior took rapid actions. Lu Li could only see a blur before the young man was smashed off the cliff. Blood spilled out from his body and one of his wings was fractured!
"Ah—"
The young man let out a miserable cry. Then, in the air, he was unable to gain balance and he began to fall down.
"Roar, roar!"
Before he fell into the rivers, there came a shocking shout from below. Then, some horrifying energy spread out. A huge beast stuck its head out and ate up the young man. Afterward, the beast disappeared into the sea.
From the beginning to the end, the pretty young man did not have the ability to fight back. He was killed so easily as if he was very vulnerable and feeble…
"Hiss!"
Lu Li and the others had all witnessed the process with psychic power. They looked at each other, stunned and frustrated. This pretty young man went through so much to become an immortal. He lost his life as he just ascended. He must have died with a grievance.
"Lord, remain a low key in the Divinity. Do not mess up with the local prefecture armies. Or else you will lose your life for nothing!"
Lu Li remembered the warning words from the Deaf Taoist. Lu Li felt lucky that just now he behaved. If he were to be killed just as he arrived in the Divinity, then Jiang Qiling, Bai Qiuxue, and Bai Xiashuang would finish their lives at once to follow in his steps.
"Divinity…"
Lu Li gazed at the boundless ocean. His mind heavy with anxiety. The Divinity was loaded with uncertainties. Every step forward would be riddled with risks. Could he win a place in the Divinity and live to find Lu Ling?
