Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 2 Please witness, the stunning scenery ahead

Standing in front of the Qiling Hall, Wang Luo felt an unprecedented absurdity.

Because I am the only one who has not ascended, so I have to take over as the master of Lingshan Mountain and enjoy a leisurely life?
The problem is, this world where I am the only one who has not ascended, from another perspective, is actually a world where Lingshan was wiped out!
The whole family was destroyed because of collective ascension. How can this be justified in the world?

But despite being absurd, Wang Luo realized that this matter did have some rationality.

With the strength of Lingshan, no foreign enemy can shake it in the slightest... But if the change comes from the sky, that's another story.

And is there any possibility of natural mutation?Of course there are, such as the legend that has been circulating for thousands of years: the fairy gate opens and the sun rises.

This legend means that sometimes immortality will suddenly favor someone for no reason, making him improve crazily and even ascend on the spot.It is as if the door to the fairy world opens above the head, absorbing the practitioners.

The legend may seem illusory, but it has actually happened in the long history. Even the immortals in the immortal world cannot explain the specific reasons. They only know that some people are so lucky that they can ascend without any effort.

In fact, with the development of Kyushu Immortalism, this illusory legend occurs more and more frequently. In the past, it might only happen once in thousands of years, but it has happened three times in the past 50 years, so that some practitioners simply lay down and just wait for heaven. Falling into immortality.

But the people of Lingshan have never been interested in this legend. On the one hand, ascension is so easy that many people simply become hypocritical and refuse to fly even if they can. On the other hand, the opening of the Immortal Gate is a purely random event and will not happen. Special attention is paid to any cave heaven and blessed land. Even if Lingshan is the leader of the immortal path, he has never seen an opening of the immortal gate in more than ten thousand years.

Therefore, no one knows whether the cultivators will have a choice when the Immortal Gate opens and they are forced to ascend...

But Wang Luo at least knew that if you go up, you can't come down.

Since Immortal Ancestor Chicheng opened up the Immortal World, although the Immortal World has had a great influence on the mortal world, there has never been a precedent for an Immortal to descend to the mortal world, not even Immortal Ancestor Chicheng could do it.So if Song Yijing, Lu Zhiyao and others really encounter some emergency and ascend collectively, then...

That would really be equivalent to the annihilation of Lingshan, and the only survivor would have to take over the position of mountain leader with tears in his eyes.

For a moment, Wang Luo didn't know whether to congratulate his master, sister, and others for successfully reaching the end of their cultivation in the mortal world, or to lament that the people who were closest to him were separated forever overnight... Well, there was no need to lament. With Wang Luo With his talent, it will be more than a hundred years before he can ascend, and he does not have the mortal complex of fourth senior sister Bai Cheng and fifth senior brother Qin Muzhou. If he can ascend, he still wants to ascend.So when the time comes, we can just reunite in the fairy world, and there is no need to worry too much.

The issue that needs to be taken care of now is that the position of the 84th generation mountain master is really difficult to take.

In the more than 1 years of Lingshan's history, there has never been a Mountain Master in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and it is completely impossible for practitioners in the Foundation Establishment Stage to grasp the position of the Mountain Lord.

Looking at the empty Qiling Hall, Wang Luo had realized that it was not that Lu Zhiyao had confiscated the Qiling Hall, but that the mountain master who was currently in the foundation building period was not qualified to "see" the Linlang Immortal Treasure in the hall.

In addition, he has not unlocked many of the permissions that the mountain master should have: after taking over as the mountain master, the Ascension Record Book should have several more functions.For example, he had witnessed Song Yijing remotely control the Qiling Palace using the Mountain Lord's Ascension Record, leveraging the entire Lingshan Mountain, changing the course of the mountains and rivers, and reorganizing the earth's veins in just a few breaths.I have also seen Song Yijing directly grab the elixir that is among the most precious treasures of Lingshan in Jinxiu Pavilion from the Ascension Record.

But now, the 84th generation of the mountain owner cannot even make the sea of ​​clouds disperse in the mountain.

The so-called mismatch of virtue is nothing more than this... and mismatch of virtue is risky.

Lingshan is the leader of the Nine Provinces Immortal Path, and its big tree attracts the wind. It is not that there are no enemies, and there are more competitors.It’s just that no one has been able to shake the status of Lingshan for more than ten thousand years.

But now that everyone in Lingshan has ascended, who can resist taking action?
And once he takes action, can the mountain master with a mere foundation building level be able to resist?What's more, even if there is no invasion by foreign enemies, Lingshan, as the leader of the Nine Provinces Immortal Way, has a huge range of influence, and its existence itself needs to be managed and maintained, and Wang Luo obviously does not have this ability at present.What's more, although Lingshan's official establishment is not large, the Waishanmen that handles general affairs is large in scale, and Wang Luo has not had much dealings with them before.

Wang Luo pondered for a long time in the Qiling Hall, only to feel that countless clues were coming at him like a tide, but they were all frustrating.Fortunately, he was the only two people in the whole Lingshan who knew nothing about depression and discouragement.

After finding nothing in Qiling Hall, Wang Luo didn't hesitate and simply left the hall and walked elsewhere.

He didn't believe that the entire Lingshan Mountain had really been wiped out. Even if the master, sister, and others were forced to ascend, they wouldn't even have time to wake up Wang Luo in the Dingling Hall... It was always okay to leave a note, right?Even the position of Mountain Lord can be left behind, it is impossible that there are no other clues.

But in the next half day, Wang Luo found nothing.

In other words, Lingshan did not open up the slightest clue to the new mountain owner.In the past half day, Wang Luo walked through the hundred halls of Lingshan, but every time he saw the door was closed and could not be opened even with the authority of the mountain lord.Then, Wang Luo didn't even find a note.Things have started to get a little weird.

Because Wang Luo spent half a day not only walking in the sea of ​​clouds, but also carefully looking through the Ascension Record in hand. He didn't find any clear clues, but he found many doubts.

After inheriting the position of Mountain Lord, instead of increasing the functions of Ascension Record, it was greatly reduced. Even the simple Xumi Mustard Seed function could not be activated, so that the materials Wang Luo kept in his personal warehouse were effectively sealed.

In addition, the function he valued most: the Chronicle of Lingshan Events, stopped updating after he entered the Dingling Hall, and it did not even record how Song Yijing and others ascended!
The most outrageous thing was that even the calendar function was damaged, and the ink on the date column was distorted, like a ferocious beast... so much so that Wang Luo couldn't even tell how long he had been in seclusion in the Dingling Hall.

With more and more doubts, Wang Luo decided not to waste time in this swamp-like sea of ​​clouds, but walked out along the mountain road.

On the one hand, there are really no usable clues in Lingshan; on the other hand, there are even no usable resources. With Feishenglu's personal warehouse sealed and the door of Jinxiu Pavilion closed, he can't even think about finding elixirs to warm his Dantian. Yufu, even dinner is not available...

So he might as well just go down the mountain and hope that the outer mountain gate can bring him a little surprise.

This journey took another half a day. As Wang Luo gradually approached the foot of the mountain, the surrounding clouds and mist gradually faded away, revealing a golden-red color cast by the setting sun and the outline of the distant sky and earth.

However, the mountain road suddenly descended into a winding mountain col. The golden and red misty scenery was suddenly blocked by the towering rocks on both sides, which seemed quite disappointing.

But Wang Luo is familiar with the terrain and knows that after crossing this mountain col, he can stand on a spacious platform. The platform is not impressive, but it is the place where Immortal Chicheng ascended to immortality. It is of great commemorative value... In addition, although the ascending platform is close to the foot of Lingshan Mountain, But the height is still the highest within hundreds of miles, enough to overlook the distant scenery.

But before he turned around the mountain col, Wang Luo heard a faint sound of people not far away. It seemed that there were dozens of people, talking and laughing all the way!
For a moment, the breath of the 84th generation mountain master suddenly stagnated.

Not fear, but caution.

Although this place is close to the edge of Lingshan Mountain, it is still the real boundary of Lingshan Mountain, and it is also a real place where idlers are not allowed to enter.

In fact, let alone other people, even the leaders of the Outer Mountain Sect and the direct descendants of the Hushan Family are not allowed to enter Lingshan without authorization, let alone approach this commemorative Climbing Platform!
So, what are the origins of these dozens of people?The formation outside Lingshan has failed?
Out of caution, Wang Luo immediately hid in the dense vegetation next to the path. Several clumps of fluttering peace ferns were like clingy puppies, pressing their wide leaves close to him. They felt slightly cool to the touch, but perfectly covered his figure. , which also made him slightly pleased.

At least the plants and trees in Lingshan still recognize him as their master.

Under the cover of vegetation, Wang Luo quietly turned the corner and saw the scene where the sound came from.

The mountain platform vaguely resembles the outline in my memory. There is a green-shaded path at the other end, and then...

The first thing that comes into view along the steps is a swaggering and lively triangular red flag. The flagpole trembles as it climbs up the steps, full of vitality.Under the red flag is an equally eye-catching little red riding hood. A youthful little girl with a red hat on her head skips up the steps, as if the sun is just born, making people's eyes bright.

And along with this ray of light comes a series of clear and bright opening words like the cry of morning birds in the deep valley.

"Everyone, please look here! Ahead is the last stop of our trip, Tianshui Valley. It is the largest disaster relic in the history of human civilization and symbolizes the end of the classical era."

After a pause, the young girl said loudly: "1000 years ago, there was a great catastrophe between heaven and earth. The fairy world fell, the earth was overturned, nine states lost four, and the way of heaven turned into a wasteland."

"At the time of the Great Tribulation, all the immortals in heaven fell here. The body of Chicheng Immortal, the ancestor of all immortals, rotted and sank in the place where he ascended to immortality. He gradually sank into the deep earth and turned into the evil soil of eternal calamity. Fortunately, it was protected by the Great Law. Suppression, so that we, the descendants, can stay safe and sound on this land and pay respect to the former owners of this place."

"As we all know, Lingshan in the classical era was the leader of the Immortal Path, and its reputation was unknown to everyone from the immortal world to the deep earth. By the time of Song Yijing, the 82nd generation mountain master, Lingshan had reached an unprecedented peak. The two generations of mountain people were almost the same. In a matter of days, everyone has ascended to heaven, and the road to immortality is as smooth as a road."

"However, it was this unprecedented achievement that caused a complete imbalance between the immortal and mortal worlds. The power of the sky could not support the prosperous fairy world. Finally, the heaven fell and all the immortals perished."

"The ancestral hall in front is dedicated to the ancestors of Lingshan who died during the catastrophe, from Immortal Ancestor Chicheng to the last generation of mountain people. It is not only a commemoration of the classical era for our descendants, but also a silent warning. The crisis a thousand years ago tells us..."
