Chapter 956: The First to Ascend (1/2)

Lu Yun appointed the four of them as guides in Ascension City mainly because he wanted them to guard the locale. Not only was the treasure a conduit for immortals to travel to the world of immortals, but it was now a two-way portal for their own to visit the lower worlds.

The Ascension Pool was too important to Lu Yun. Although this was an area that he’d split off from hell, he wasn’t wholly confident that it was safe from assault. After grave consideration, he asked Mo Yi and the others to come and be ascension guides. They could welcome the newly arrived immortals and protect the city at the same time.

The four of them had tremendous backgrounds, but apart from Mo Yi, the other three weren’t fully integrated into the immortal dao. Since the Ascension Pool was an important treasure of the immortal dao, they’d be able to more quickly incorporate themselves into the immortal dao if they cultivated by its banks.

Apart from this, the world of immortals was an unknown planet to all of their future visitors. The guides would play a key role in acclimating them to their new surroundings and showing them the way into their new home.

This would be a deed of great merit and shared destiny of good karma. Those who could cultivate to immortality in those ruined worlds were undoubtedly geniuses of enormous determination. Guiding them into their new lives would naturally come with untold benefits.

……

Splaaaash.

A sizable ripple traveled through the Ascension Pool and a ray of golden light blasted out from its center. A young man came tumbling out with it.

Thump!

He dropped heavily to the ground and landed near Lu Feng’s foot.

“Is this the world of immortals?” The young man picked himself up and looked blearily at his surroundings.

“The first to ascend?” Lu Feng smiled gently at the young man and shifted his arm gently, helping their first visitor up. “That is correct, this is Ascension City in the world of immortals. You are the first to ascend from a lower world to the world of immortals.”

He smiled a warm and comforting smile as he looked upon the young man, taking out a nascent spirit jade slip and three premium immortal crystals at the same time.

“Here are three premium immortal crystals and everything you wish to know in the jade slip. Alright now, you may go.”

“These are immortal crystals?” Eyes wide, the young man closely inspected a crystalline chunk that glowed with a milky-white haze. “When I became an immortal, my master rewarded me with only a piece of supreme spirit stone.”

He extended his consciousness into the jade slip, finding an introduction to the nine majors, ten lands, and four immortal seas of the world of immortals. Many places of danger and commonplace knowledge about the world were also recorded within.

“Nian Rufeng thanks the senior for your largesse!” The young man bowed at Lu Feng.

“Nian Rufeng? Our destinies intersect, alright. We have the same character in our names” Lu Feng smiled again when he heard the boy’s name. “Since we share an affinity for each other, I’ll make a recommendation for you to become an inner disciple of the Dao Academy.”

Nian Rufeng shook his head at the invitation. “In response to the senior, this junior activated the ascension protocol not to join the world of immortals, but to beg for help!”

He looked to be a boy around eighteen years old, but his maturity far exceeded his appearance. HIs eyes were bright and he looked unblinkingly at Lu Feng.

“Senior, the Blue Wilderness Continent is under attack and the boundary that protects the continent is about to fall to the dead spirits. Hundreds of millions will become their food. Please save us, senior!”

Thump!

He fell to his knees and kowtowed frantically at Lu Feng.
