Chapter 1911: The Immortal Astral’s tenth sun—Astounding the World with a Single Feat (Part Four)

"I could tell this child was extraordinary back then. In less than a century, he actually managed to pass the Ninth Level. I can recruit him into my command! Forget it, even though he refused once before, this time, I will send my Clone personally. He will surely see how much I value him!" In front of the waterfall at Dao Yi Sect, which resembled the Heavenly River falling from the Nine Heavens, Dao Yi Great Heavenly Venerate's eyes narrowed, and the smile on his face deepened.

On the Northern Continent Glacier, Wu Feng Great Heavenly Venerate closed his eyes while looking at the glacier before him.

"This child passed the test in Shan Hai and then breached the Ninth Level. His combat strength is already comparable to a Heavenly Venerate Ascendant… Dao Yi valued him first and will definitely try to snatch him, but Dao Yi's personality is somewhat arrogant. Although he won't go using Divine Thought, at most, he will only send a Clone… This time, I will personally recruit him with my true body. From this, this child should be able to judge who values him more!"

On Emperor Mountain, the extraordinarily beautiful woman wore a happy smile, appearing even happier than Wang Lin himself about his success in passing the Ninth Level.

However, the old man beside her glanced at the autumn leaf, his expression still completely indifferent.

"It's only the Ninth Level. He's merely a Heavenly Venerate Peak. Only by passing the Tenth Level can one become a Heavenly Venerate Ascendant. But even if he passes the Tenth Level, he will still be at the bottom tier of Heavenly Venerate Ascendants, far inferior to Ming Dao Venerate." The old man shook his head and spoke slowly.

"Master!!" The beautiful woman turned around and scolded him playfully.

The old man paused, then said with a wry smile, "Fine, if he can pass the Tenth Level, I will go and ask him if he is willing to join my command.

Alas, in this Heavenly Venerate Nirvana Land, Levels One through Nine are for Heavenly Venerates to challenge. The Tenth Level is the watershed between Heavenly Venerates and Heavenly Venerate Ascendants; passing the tenth makes one a Heavenly Venerate Ascendant. As for Level Eleven and above, entering them is completely different from the first nine levels. Besides still requiring cultivation and combat strength, it also requires comprehension and enlightenment of the Dao.

Heavenly Venerate Nirvana—the character 'Nirvana' is the meaning of the latter nine levels! For the latter nine levels, passing each one is like gaining a great fortune. This Wang Lin…" The old man glanced at his disciple and simply stopped speaking.

Hai Zi Heavenly Venerate looked excited, took a deep breath, and actually released his Divine Sense while closing his eyes, shooting straight toward the Highest Heavens!

In an uninhabited, luxurious palace within the Royal City of Central Continent, the moment Wang Lin passed the Ninth Level on the illusory screen in mid-air, a cold laugh echoed through the palace.

"So this is the person Dao Fei keeps thinking about… I underestimated him…"

In the Eastern Continent, at the Purple Yang Sect, the middle-aged Cultivator stood alone, gazing at the mirror in front of him, completely ignoring the faint screams coming from outside. His eyes were bright and piercing.

"We must recruit him! Since the Great Heavenly Venerate's last Reincarnation and subsequent separation many years ago, his prestige has suffered, and most of the Heavenly Venerates and Heavenly Venerate Ascendants recruited have left… Now, the Great Heavenly Venerate is about to undergo Reincarnation once more. If this person can join our ranks, he will definitely serve as a guardian!"

At the same time, in the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana Land, after Wang Lin passed the Ninth Level, all the Heavenly Venerate Cultivators present bowed in unison. Immediately afterward, nearly a hundred people clasped their fists and quickly left the area. After their Divine Sense returned to their bodies, they immediately used their respective connections to inform the Heavenly Venerates they knew.

After all, someone passing the Ninth Level was extremely important among Heavenly Venerates, practically a grand event. As the news spread, soon, even more Heavenly Venerate Cultivators rushed toward the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana from various parts of the Immortal Clan Continent.

Amidst the flashing golden light of the Ninth Level, Wang Lin emerged. He sat cross-legged in mid-air, neither continuing toward the Tenth Level nor sinking down in surrender.

The entire Heavenly Venerate Nirvana Land was illuminated by the golden light. Every Heavenly Venerate Cultivator who rushed here after being notified was instantly enveloped by the golden light the moment they appeared in the Teleportation Formation. Looking up, they could see the endless golden light of the Ninth Level Hall, and simultaneously, the cross-legged figure within the light.

Their expressions were solemn, and there was a faint hint of anticipation!

At this moment, the majority of Heavenly Venerates here no longer held any mockery. Even their feelings of disdain had long been crushed by the reality. They respected the strong, especially someone who could pass the Ninth Level—a true Peak among Heavenly Venerates!

Time gradually passed, and more and more Heavenly Venerate Cultivators arrived. Streaks of long rainbow sped from the distant Teleportation Formations; the light from the Formations hardly ever ceased.

Soon, the number of Heavenly Venerate Cultivators in the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana Land reached nearly seven hundred, accounting for almost seventy percent of all Heavenly Venerates on the Immortal Clan Continent!

Moreover, Heavenly Venerate Cultivators were still rushing in through the Teleportation Formations after receiving the news.

"This matter has caused a massive sensation. More and more people are coming to Heavenly Venerate Nirvana…"

"Once he passes the Tenth Level, he will be a Heavenly Venerate Ascendant Cultivator… It is said that this Tenth Level is harder than the previous nine levels combined. Otherwise, the forty-ninth Heavenly Venerate Ascendant wouldn't have failed to appear for tens of thousands of years…"

"I estimate it will be difficult. Although very few Heavenly Venerates pass the Ninth Level, there have been some. Which one of those people wasn't famous back then? They even caused a sensation when challenging the Ninth Level, but despite the expectations of many, they failed at the Tenth Level… This time, it's likely to be the same."

Inside Heavenly Venerate Nirvana, over seven hundred Heavenly Venerates scattered around, watching the figure within the golden light of the Ninth Level in the sky. At the same time, they were either pondering, conversing with Divine Thought, or inquiring about Wang Lin's name and the events that had transpired earlier.

Among these seven hundred-plus Heavenly Venerates, some had extremely calm expressions. They stood out; even when they were just standing there, the surrounding Heavenly Venerates were extremely polite to them.

There were fewer than a few dozen of these people. All of them were those who had stopped at the Tenth Level after passing the Ninth. They came here now to see if Wang Lin could take the step they had yearned for.

"Brother Zhao, do you think this person can pass the Tenth Level?"

"Difficult! You and I both tried the Tenth Level. If this person truly had the confidence to pass the Tenth Level, he wouldn't still be meditating right now."

Another half an incense stick's time passed. The Cultivators gathered in the Heavenly Venerate Nirvana Land had reached nearly eight hundred people. Almost half of the Heavenly Venerates within the Immortal Clan Continent dropped everything and rushed here with their Divine Sense to witness this important grand event.

Within the crowd was a woman with an exceptionally beautiful appearance—it was Hai Zi Heavenly Venerate. She was unwilling to watch Qiu Ye on Emperor Mountain and instead came here personally. Looking at the figure within the golden light in the sky, Hai Zi Heavenly Venerate smiled.

"This fellow disappeared for over ten years after leaving Shan Hai. I never expected him to be so astounding upon his return!"

Just as the nearly eight hundred Heavenly Venerates were waiting for Wang Lin to challenge the Tenth Level, the distant Teleportation Formation suddenly flashed repeatedly. A middle-aged man dressed in white stepped out. He had a stern expression. Upon appearing, he completely ignored the crowd, leaping up and looking toward Wang Lin from mid-air.

"Xue Yu Heavenly Venerate Ascendant!!"

"Even Heavenly Venerate Ascendants have been alarmed and have come!"

"It's not just Xue Yu Heavenly Venerate Ascendant, look, that's Dao Lun Heavenly Venerate Ascendant!" The appearance of the Heavenly Venerate Ascendants immediately drew the attention of all the Heavenly Venerates. Amidst the flashing Teleportation Formation, another person walked out. This person was an old man, frowning. He rose into the sky, exchanged a glance with the man in white, nodded slightly, and also looked toward Wang Lin in the sky.

"Meng Shuang Heavenly Venerate Ascendant!"

"That's Zi En Heavenly Venerate Ascendant! It must be him, he always looks like a child! Rumor has it he passed the Twelfth Level!!"

Waves of Divine Thought discussions silently echoed among the nearly eight hundred Heavenly Venerates. A total of four Heavenly Venerate Ascendants appeared within the ancient Teleportation Formation. The four of them did not speak to each other, but upon appearing, they immediately looked toward mid-air.

Just then, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, because Wang Lin, who was sitting cross-legged within the golden light of the Ninth Level Hall in the sky, stood up. This action immediately drew the concentrated gaze of everyone.

Wang Lin looked down at the significantly larger crowd below and frowned, but quickly relaxed. His goal was to astound the world with a single feat; the more people present now, the better.

Within the crowd below, four individuals captured Wang Lin's gaze. These four were precisely the four Heavenly Venerate Ascendants who had arrived. As Wang Lin looked at them, they also watched him, their expressions calm and devoid of any emotion.

Their gazes met, and Wang Lin withdrew his sight. He looked up and suddenly took a step toward the Tenth Level. As his foot moved, his body shot toward the Tenth Level at an extremely fast speed, flashing once before vanishing without a trace!

"He's challenging the Tenth Level!!"

"This Tenth Level can be called the Dragon Gate. Once he passes it, he will become the forty-ninth Heavenly Venerate Ascendant of our Immortal Clan!"

All the Cultivators below focused their attention, afraid of missing even a single detail.

Even at this moment, across the Immortal Clan Continent, Dao Yi, Wu Feng, and the entity residing in the uninhabited palace within the Royal City were all watching the scene of Heavenly Venerate Nirvana reflected before them, watching Wang Lin enter the Tenth Level!

And in the Purple Yang Sect, the middle-aged man took a deep breath, not blinking once.

"Can he pass it…" This was the single thought that arose in the minds of many people, including all the Heavenly Venerate Cultivators present!

Time flowed. Eight breaths had already passed since Wang Lin entered the Tenth Level!

The ninth breath, the tenth breath… All eyes were focused on the Tenth Level Palace, which could only be vaguely seen in the sky. For tens of thousands of years, this level of the palace had never emitted a single trace of golden light!

But in history, every time it emitted golden light, it signified the appearance of one more Heavenly Venerate Ascendant on the Immortal Clan Continent!

The Immortal Clan Continent currently only has forty-eight Heavenly Venerate Ascendants. Once one more appears, it will be a grand event for the entire Immortal Clan, and even the Ancient Clan will know his name. Such a Cultivator is enough to cause a sensation across the Immortal Astral!

The eleventh breath, the twelfth breath, the thirteenth breath… up until the twentieth breath!

"He must have failed…" Sighs immediately came from the Heavenly Venerates below.

But right at this moment, cries of astonishment surged up like massive waves in the quiet Heavenly Venerate Nirvana Land!!

"Golden light!!! That is golden light!!!"

"Golden light from the Tenth Level!! Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the Tenth Level has appeared in golden light once again!!!"

"He… passed it!!"

In the sky, the Tenth Level, which was mostly obscured by mist and vague, suddenly emitted earth-shattering golden light after twenty breaths, witnessed by everyone!!

The four Heavenly Venerate Ascendants immediately looked solemn!

He became a Heavenly Venerate Ascendant. Seeking monthly votes!!!
