Upon realizing she couldn’t enter the barrier, the little black cat was a bit bewildered.
What exactly happened that prevented her from entering the barrier?
Unlike the confused little black cat, the little fox, being a part of Huan Shi, naturally knew the reason behind all this.
But precisely because she knew the reason, Huan Shi’s frown deepened.
When provoking Chu Man, she never expected Chu Man to directly reveal the little fox’s identity.
After all, in her view, the little fox was Song Cha’s contract beast, and Chu Man wouldn’t just throw it out.
But unexpectedly…
Chu Man was so unrestrained.
Chu Man’s action disrupted Huan Shi’s original plan.
Huan Shi initially intended to approach Song Cha with two identities, but now…
the little fox…
After cursing Chu Man in her heart, Huan Shi finally managed to maintain her composure.
Chu Man was currently guarding inside the barrier, making it impossible to enter directly.
So, she needed to come up with a plan.
At this moment, Chu Man stood inside the barrier, feeling a bit unsettled.
This unease wasn’t due to worry, but rather…
Chu Man was contemplating.
In the past, Chu Man wasn’t very diligent in her cultivation.
She was more interested in alchemy, so she spent most of her time on it, only occasionally cultivating.
Yet, even with such sporadic cultivation, after over a hundred years, Chu Man had reached the peak of the God Transformation stage.
Since reaching the peak of the God Transformation stage, Chu Man hadn’t broken through for a long time…
But seeing Huan Shi standing outside, Chu Man felt the urge to break through.
Huan Shi was a nine-tailed fox, and even without active cultivation, she would advance unconsciously.
Currently, Chu Man could still suppress Huan Shi, but if she didn’t put in some effort and remained obsessed with alchemy, her progress might not keep up with Huan Shi’s.
With this thought, Chu Man glanced at Huan Shi, then simply sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Chu Man was a peak God Transformation stage cultivator, ready to break through to the Transcending Tribulation stage at any time.
As someone with abundant fortune, breaking through to the Transcending Tribulation stage wasn’t particularly difficult for Chu Man.
In meditation, Chu Man quickly found the opportunity to break through to the Transcending Tribulation stage.
Rich spiritual energy gathered towards Chu Man.
As Chu Man was about to break through to the Transcending Tribulation stage, the spiritual energy from the entire Qingfeng Sect converged towards her, or rather, spiritual energy from even further away poured in.
Amidst this dense spiritual energy, the energy gathered on Chu Man became increasingly concentrated, gradually accumulating on her.
As the spiritual energy grew denser, the sky darkened, with dark clouds obscuring it.
Or rather, these should be called tribulation clouds.
At this moment, it could be said that the entire Qingfeng Sect was drawn to the attention of Chu Man, who was currently breaking through.
The people whose attention was drawn included Song Cha, who was in the middle of cultivation.
Song Cha flew in the direction from which the tribulation clouds were coming.
Then, she saw the tribulation clouds descending from the sky, and Chu Man standing straight beneath them.
Lightning struck down from the tribulation clouds, hitting Chu Man.
Chu Man didn’t dodge at all, letting the thunder fall on her.
Seeing Chu Man like this, Song Cha immediately became nervous.
When she saw Chu Man’s state, Song Cha knew that Chu Man was Transcending Tribulation.
In the cultivation world, the levels of cultivation are: Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, God Transformation, Transcending Tribulation, and Great Ascension.
Although these levels seem numerous, the last three are actually not far apart.
It’s not that the cultivation realms are close…
but rather, once you reach the peak of the God Transformation stage, you can Transcend Tribulation and quickly become a Great Ascension stage cultivator.
A cultivator in the Great Ascension stage can directly ascend to become an immortal.
The lightning above Chu Man’s head became even more dangerous, growing from chopstick-thin to bucket-thick, striking Chu Man repeatedly.
Even Chu Man had to take out a pill to resist at this point.
Chu Man took out a golden pill, quickly standing the lightning strike.
The sound of the tribulation thunder grew louder, and Shao Yumiao and Wu Longyue also heard it, coming out one after another.
Chu Man resisted the tribulation thunder one after another, and after three whole days, finally completed the Transcending Tribulation.
After completing the Transcending Tribulation, Chu Man advanced from the peak of the God Transformation stage to the Transcending Tribulation stage.
Now, she could ascend at any time.
However, most cultivators do not ascend immediately but instead convert their spiritual power into immortal power before ascending.
If it were the former Chu Man, she would have undoubtedly waited to convert to immortal power before ascending.
But now…
Chu Man unhesitatingly grabbed Song Cha, who was below, and began to ascend with her.
Because Chu Man had just broken through to the Great Ascension stage, her speed was extremely fast.
When she grabbed Song Cha, almost no one could react.
By the time Huan Shi, You Ming An, Shao Yumiao, and Wu Longyue reacted, Chu Man had already ascended with Song Cha.
At this moment, after pulling Song Cha into the ascension channel, Chu Man finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
The reason for this situation was that Chu Man had awakened her memories.
And…
she learned that Huan Shi, You Ming An, Shao Yumiao, and Wu Longyue were all fragments of her soul, and she was also a fragment of a soul.
After knowing this, Chu Man, who was already very wary of them, became even more cautious.
If it were before meeting Song Cha, she might have merged with these soul fragments without hesitation.
But now, Chu Man has someone she loves.
She wants Song Cha to be hers, and only hers.
So in this situation, she absolutely cannot accept merging with other soul fragments.
Instead of guarding against enemies, it’s better to strike first.
The Ascension Passage is a direct path from the cultivation world to the immortal realm, and it’s not very long.
Usually, it takes just a day and a night to complete the ascension.
But this time, something was off with the Ascension Passage.
Chu Man held onto Song Cha and flew for three whole days and nights before finally stopping.
After stopping, Chu Man stepped out of the Ascension Passage, ready to take a look at the immortal realm.
But as soon as she stepped out, Chu Man frowned.
Just entering here, she felt the spiritual energy was thin, not like the immortal realm at all.
Or rather, the spiritual energy here was even less than in the cultivation world.
Seeing this scene, Chu Man frowned.
Since being pulled into the Ascension Passage, Song Cha had been in a daze and now stepped out as well.
Being pulled into the Ascension Passage by Chu Man didn’t really make Song Cha angry.
After all, the cultivation resources in the immortal realm are much more abundant than in the cultivation world, and it’s said that the immortal realm is filled with immortal energy.
Immortal energy is a higher level than spiritual energy, and cultivating in such an environment would surely yield twice the result with half the effort.
But as Chu Man stepped out of the Ascension Passage, Song Cha, who followed closely behind, was stunned.
This… thin spiritual energy, how could this be the immortal realm?
Could it be that this is just a place in the immortal realm where the spiritual energy is relatively thin?
Thinking this, Song Cha couldn’t help but look around.
And with that look, Song Cha couldn’t help but widen her eyes…
These familiar commercial buildings, these recognizable streets…
if this isn’t Earth, then what is it?
So, in this ascension, not only did they not ascend to the immortal realm, but they actually ascended to Earth?
What kind of bizarre ascension is this?
However, despite complaining internally, Song Cha’s mood wasn’t too bad.
After all, no matter what, Earth is her hometown, and there are so many delicious foods and entertainment on Earth.
After crossing over to the cultivation world, Song Cha hadn’t enjoyed these things for a long time.
“Cha’er…”
Chu Man’s voice interrupted Song Cha’s thoughts.
Song Cha looked at Chu Man, “Master.”
“Cha’er, we ascended to the wrong place.”
Chu Man’s voice was filled with confusion, not understanding why their proper ascension went wrong.
Song Cha: “…”
Hearing Chu Man’s words, Song Cha fell silent.
When she saw the familiar scenery of Earth, Song Cha had already guessed that she might have ascended to the wrong place.
Typically, when cultivators ascend, they must completely convert the spiritual energy within them into immortal power before ascending, and these cultivators do not bring others with them.
Moreover, the most important factor might be that Song Cha had lived on Earth for such a long time, carrying the aura of Earth within her soul.
With these three reasons combined, ascending to Earth wasn’t all that surprising.
However, despite thinking this way, Song Cha didn’t show it.
Instead, she put on a conflicted expression and asked, “Master, do you know where this place is?”
Why did we ascend here?”
Chu Man didn’t respond.
Seeing Chu Man’s silence, Song Cha pretended not to mind and followed the familiar streets to the building she knew best from before.
Along the way, Song Cha noticed many people staring at her and Chu Man.
But she completely ignored these gazes.
After arriving at the familiar building, Song Cha pretended to use her divine sense to investigate and then spoke up, “Master, everything here feels so familiar. Do you think… I might have some connection to this place?”
Chu Man: “…”
After hearing Song Cha’s words, Chu Man instinctively recalled her own Transcending Tribulation, her past life’s identity, and the current state of her soul fragments.
Could it be that Song Cha felt a connection because she lived in this world in her past life?
“If you feel a connection, go take a look,” Chu Man said.
Without hesitation, Song Cha went upstairs, used her spiritual power to transform into a key, and opened the most familiar door.
Upon entering, the room was empty, with no one inside.
A thin layer of dust had accumulated in the room.
Song Cha didn’t mind this and began searching for her phone and the little black cat.
Her little black cat at home was very smart, able to drink water and open cans by itself.
Even if she wasn’t home, it should be able to live here on its own for a while, right?
But after searching the room for a long time, Song Cha couldn’t find the little black cat, Coal Ball.
Instead, she found her phone in the living room by the sofa.
After charging her phone, Song Cha went downstairs to find Chu Man, “Master, come up.”
Chu Man was a bit puzzled but followed Song Cha to the dusty room.
“Master, I found that there’s no one in this room.
Let’s rest here for a while,” Song Cha said.
Chu Man, coming from the cultivation world, quickly believed Song Cha’s words.
After all, in the cultivation world, unowned caves could be freely explored and claimed.
