Chapter 362 Another newcomer?
Langque Heaven, within the territory of Xiaoyuan Palace.
A thick beam of light crashed into the ascension platform from below, and a figure staggered out of the light.
On the Ascension Platform, there were three Sky Guardians, their expressions strange as they faced the pillar of light that had suddenly appeared.
"Is this the guiding light? For ascension?"
Yuan Liang looked at the vast light falling on the ascension platform and wondered if he was seeing things.
"Strange, is ascension so easy now? I remember someone just came up here."
The strongman beside him was also puzzled by these words. He then opened his divine eye and looked down at the ascension platform, and immediately exclaimed in surprise:
"Guess what? This is the same place as that guy who ascended last time!"
Yuan Liang was stunned upon hearing this. He then looked at the figure who was slowly standing up and found that the newcomer was unusually young and had a look of fear on his face. He did not look like someone who had just ascended to immortality.
"Smuggled in?"
A hint of doubt flashed through Yuan Liang's mind, but he still put on a stern face, stepped forward, and said to the young man:
"Name!"
And this young man was none other than Ding Yi, who had just ascended to immortality.
Ding Yi was wearing a large black robe. He first glanced around discreetly and found that he had landed on a boundless platform.
Above the platform, there was a lot of swirling smoke that reached up to the knees, giving one the feeling of having entered a celestial paradise.
This must be the ascension platform that Jin Wuhuan mentioned.
Ding Yi muttered to himself, then bowed to Yuan Liang who was walking over and said:
"May I ask this immortal where this place is? My name is Jiang Zhao, and I am the sect leader of the Taixu Sect in the lower realm."
Yuan Liang looked at Ding Yi, and a disdainful smile immediately appeared on his face at his obsequious attitude. Then he said coldly:
"This is the Ascension Platform of Xiaoyuan Palace. I don't care what sect leader or patriarch you are in the human or animal realm. Once you come here, even a dragon has to kneel down before me!"
After saying that, Yuan Liang stood there quietly watching Ding Yi and waiting.
At this moment, his face was cold and sinister, and he looked at Ding Yi as if he were a toy.
Not to mention that even if people in the lower realm ascend to immortality, they are still ants, Yuan Liang himself has been on guard duty for a long time, which has put his emotions in an unstable state.
He hoped Ding Yi would resist, so he could torture him legitimately. Anyway, the guy would eventually be sent to the prison as nourishment. If he could get a little excited before he died, then he would maximize his value.
But Ding Yi didn't say much in the face of Yuan Liang's provocation. Instead, he lowered his head and smiled sheepishly, like a nice old man.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Liang's expression became even more peculiar.
Those who ascend to this level are all geniuses among geniuses; he certainly wouldn't believe it if you said he was just a nice guy.
Therefore, he believed that Ding Yi was pretending to be weak while actually being strong.
Yuan Liang walked towards Ding Yi with a grim expression, grabbed his shoulder, and said coldly:
"I can tell you're good at hiding your true feelings, but let me tell you, you're probably using your cleverness in the wrong place!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi suddenly feigned a slight surprise, appropriately revealing a hint of fear.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Liang's previously gloomy face finally broke into a smile.
Sure enough, all these ascendants from the human and animal realms are the same kind of birds!
If you insist on liking the "pretending to be weak to eat strong" tactic, these frogs in a well are clearly real rats, why bother pretending?!
Thinking of this, Yuan Liang laughed heartily, seemingly lessening his desire to torment Ding Yi.
After all, if this guy were to experience the painful reality of true ascension right now, it would be like giving him advance psychological preparation, which would greatly reduce the fun.
"Yes, that's more like it. Stop hiding your true colors all the time. Come on, let's go to the palace."
Yuan Liang said in a cold tone, then turned and walked forward.
Ding Yi looked at Yuan Liang's back and then at the two Sky Guardians standing beside him.
Based on his estimation, Ding Yi figured that his current strength was definitely greater than that of these strongmen.
The problem was that he didn't know if the ascension platform beneath his feet or the powerful figures in this realm had any special abilities, so he didn't choose to make a move. Instead, he smiled and followed Yuan Liang forward.
The other two strongmen seemed unsurprised by the actions of the two men. After all, in their long service, such ascendants were rare, but not nonexistent.
Almost every ascendant goes through this process, without exception.
This new young fellow could only end up as a rotting corpse in the palace prison.
After Yuan Liang led Ding Yi for an unknown distance, they seemed to have arrived at the edge of the Ascension Platform.
At this moment, the scenery in front of the two was already covered by a thick layer of clouds, and they could not see what was behind the clouds.
Upon arriving at this place, Yuanliang stopped.
He glanced at Ding Yi behind him, a smile suddenly appearing on his face, and then slowly said:
"Stay close to me and don't even think about running away. The territory of Xiaoyuan Palace is shrouded by the immortal artifact, the Primordial Dividing Light Sword. Once you don't have your waist token, you'll be instantly killed."
After Yuan Liang finished speaking, Ding Yi was taken aback and asked:
"May I ask, Immortal Master, why did I run away?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Liang's smile faded slightly, as if he were somewhat surprised.
He had thought this young man was special, but he couldn't get anything out of him. He seemed to be no different from the other ascendants.
"go!"
Yuan Liang didn't want to say anything more to Ding Yi. He simply grabbed Ding Yi's shoulder, then soared into the sky, carrying Ding Yi as they flew off in one direction.
The next instant, Ding Yi finally broke free from the layers of clouds and saw the so-called upper realm for the first time.
The blazing sun hangs high in the sky, but unlike the lower world, there are two suns here!
Below, the mountains and rivers remained, but Ding Yi could vaguely hear the roar of a dragon coming from the mountain stream, and the distant roar of an unknown beast echoing back.
The entire world was bathed in light and filled with vibrant energy. The towering mountains and forests were far larger than those in the lower realm, and it seemed that any creature here was on the verge of becoming gigantic.
Suddenly, Yuan Liang, who was flying with Ding Yi, stopped abruptly and then floated motionless in the air.
Ding Yi was somewhat surprised to see this, but after just one glance around, he discovered the problem.
In the area dozens of miles ahead of them, two enormous bird-like spirit beasts had appeared out of nowhere.
Both of these spirit beasts were over a hundred meters long, and their feathers had seven different colors, making them look as dazzling as a rainbow from a distance.
But what's even more eye-catching is the enormous palace that the two giant birds are pulling behind them.
The palace was about a hundred feet tall, and its whole body was filled with precious light. Its canopy was beautiful. Even from such a distance, Ding Yi could feel a sense of oppression from above.
"Stop looking! This is the Venerable One's palace!!"
Yuan Liang seemed to notice Ding Yi's gaze and immediately roared in terror.
