Chapter 954: Rebuilding the Ascension Pool (1/2)

The Ascension Pool had been integrated into the World Gates after the great war a hundred thousand years ago to prevent anyone from breaking the curse in it. But when Fuxi visited from the great wilderness, he set up a plethora of plans and extracted the treasure’s essence from the World Gates, bringing it back with him. He took it into the chaos and quietly awaited Lu Yun’s arrival.

However, the actual treasure itself was still in the World Gates. If one wanted it, they would have to enter the gates proper.

The gates were an ultimate treasure born of the immortal dao and even more domineering than some connate treasures. Lu Yun hadn’t been able to do anything about them at first. But with the Ascension Pool’s core essence in hand, he could utilize it to summon the rest of the treasure to him instead of having to break into the gates.

Though someone had integrated the two treasures together to prevent the curse on great emperors from being broken, their efforts were null and void now that the curse was no more. There would be no further resistance to Lu Yun restoring the Ascension Pool and the ascension protocol.

The protocol could forcefully call immortals in the lower realms to the world of immortals. Though that would strengthen the world, it would also allow the yin spirits to completely pulverize the last ruined bits of the lower world, erasing the final tendril of the land’s energy.

……

The core essence of the Ascension Pool slowly floated out of Lu Yun’s hand, illuminating the premises with faint jade luster.

An answering glow sparkled from the World Gates. Something that resembled an ink stone flowed out of them, gradually becoming one with the core essence. This ink stone was the physical form of the Ascension Pool.

Everything had gone extraordinarily smoothly. Off to the side, Violetgrave lowered her poised hand with surprise. In her eyes, though the originator of this plan couldn’t stop Lu Yun, neither would it so easily allow him to obtain the Ascension Pool.

“It looks like the creatures of the chaos have made foolproof preparations. They expected that you would break their curse.” Worry flashed through Violetgrave’s pale violet eyes when she saw the treasure land in Lu Yun’s hand.

Clang!

Clang!

Before she could react, two crisp collisions rang through the locale as extremely profound auras flared before the World Gates.

Worldcarver and Heavenfall!

“What…” The nine celestial emperors gaped at the two weapons. They’d taken note of everything when Lu Yun battled the Dao Tree and the big akasha ghost. Worldcarver and Heavenfall had come from the hands of the two creators themselves!

But Lu Yun was taking them back out?

“Surely I’m setting off a chain reaction somewhere in extracting the Ascension Pool and rebuilding the ascension protocol. The presence of these two treasures might sway would-be attackers from harassing the World Gates.” With a quick thought, he used his nascent spirit in hell to project a copy of Pangu and God. They walked out the door to take up a position in front of the World Gates.

Lu Yun wasn’t so confident that he would leave without reinforcing this land. His projections were a product of the six paths of his nascent spirit, imparting to them the same cultivation level as him, but with sufficient strength to utilize the two treasures of the chaos.

Most importantly, Lu Yun trusted that if this outpost really was in danger of being overrun, Pangu and God could manifest through his projections at any time. He didn’t want to impose on the two creators, but he would have to in moments of great need.
