Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1227: How Difficult Is It To Become An Immortal?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Around early June, Mr. Tao walked out of the Heavenly Tower.

He walked along the road with an intimidating aura that people thought he might be an evil demon.

He wore a scholarly robe.

People found him strange.

His dignified demeanor with his scholarly appearance was eye-catching.

When Zhu Shen saw Mr. Tao walk out, he immediately ran up to him.

“Mr. Tao, weren’t you in seclusion?” Tang Ya asked.

“My time is up. I came out of seclusion,” Mr. Tao said with a smile.

“Where’s Senior Chi Tian?” he asked.

“Some time ago, he said that he met his elder brother and borrowed some spirit stones from him. He is now searching for his brother all over the world,” said Tang Ya.

“Senior Chi is truly bold,” Zhu Shen said.

“You speak very well,” said a brown-robed man who appeared out of nowhere.

He landed in front of Mr. Tao. “Where are you going, Mr. Tao?”

“Senior Chi…” Mr. Tao bowed respectfully.

Zhu Shen and Tang Ya followed suit.

“The Twelve Heavenly Kings are about to become immortals. I want to go and take a look,” Mr. Tao said.

“The Twelve Heavenly Kings are going to become immortals?!” Chi Tian was surprised. “Really? Is there anyone in this world who can lead them to immortality?”

“It’s true. It seems there is a chance this time,” said Mr. Tao. “As for whether they can succeed…no one knows.”

“Someone wants to be the first person to attempt something like that?” Chi Tian asked.

“Yes.” Mr. Tao nodded.

“Then, I’ll have to go over and take a look as well.” Chi Tian narrowed his eyes.

Mr. Tao nodded.

Many people knew about this matter already, so it did not matter if a few more people were joining in.

With the help of the Red Dragon, they soon arrived at the Twelve Seas.

Chi Tian raised his head to look at the sky. He frowned. “This place is… unusual. The spiritual energy and essence of the Twelve Heavenly Kings have reached its peak.”

“Senior, who do you think will attempt something like that?” Tang Ya asked curiously.

They had investigated for a long time, but there was no clue.

The person who was attempting it was mysterious.

Even the Twelve Heavenly Kings did not know for sure who this person was.

Mr. Tao looked around and finally took his position.

“I don’t know… this array formation is not simple.” Chi Tian saw through it.

This array formation was prepared for immortal ascension. It was not an ordinary formation.

It seemed the mysterious person really intended to follow through on helping the Twelve Heavenly Kings become immortals.

Was there really anyone who dared to attempt such a feat?

One had to know that if he failed, he would be devoured by the Twelve Heavenly Kings’ fortune.

The consequences would be disastrous.

He suddenly looked in another direction and frowned. “There are powerful people coming this way. Are they from the academy?”

He knew about the Astronomical Academy. After all, it was a sect where the man he considered his brother was from.

He had never visited it, though.

He was surprised by their arrival.

He had traveled to all four regions but had never returned to the West. So, he did not know about the situation there.

These people were not ordinary.

The central sea area calmed down.

The waves of the sea were decreasing. The stillness extended everywhere.

It was as if even the sea knew today was a big day and had to wait quietly.

At that moment, Bi Zhu had already arrived at the position assigned to her.

Behind her, there was a ship. Jing Dajiang, the other two old men, and Qiao Yi were standing on the deck.

On the other side, Xu Bai stood in his position and frowned as he looked behind him.

He sensed a corpse aura.

It seemed like Lou Mantian had arrived.

Fortunately, the other party was only an avatar. Otherwise, it would be a big problem if he attacked.

He felt that one side of the formation was empty. He did not know who occupied it.

The only other people missing were the Twelve Heavenly Kings and the mysterious person.

Who exactly would become immortal? Even he could not guess.

The mystery of it all surprised everyone.

Just as everyone thought about it, there was a sound of water erupting.

Twelve water pillars appeared in the center of the sea, and human figures appeared above the water pillars.

They were the Twelve Heavenly Kings.

On their water pillars, they felt strange.

They looked up at the sky. For some reason, they felt that their lifeblood and spiritual energy had reached unprecedented heights. It was as if they could become immortals at any time.

It was not just one person who felt that way. It was all of them.

They looked at the sky and felt impulsive.

They wanted to soar into the sky and attempt to become an immortal by themselves.

Everyone looked at each other. Taomu asked, “Should we give it a try?”

They would not mess it up, but they could not stay without at least trying once.

This was the first time they had felt that they could advance.

“Don’t go too deep,” said a muffled voice.

The others nodded.

At that moment, the Twelve Heavenly Kings raised their heads together. They closed their eyes and mobilized the power in their bodies.

Immediately after, dark clouds covered the sky.

The Red Dragon was a little surprised. “The Twelve Heavenly Kings are really strong. They actually want to become immortals themselves. Their condition has indeed reached an unprecedented height. Timing, location, and people, almost everything is in their favor. It’s indeed unacceptable to not give it a try.”

“Will it succeed?” Mr. Tao asked curiously.

“It will fail. Many Heavenly Kings have had the same feeling, and all of them ended up failing without exception. These twelve seem cautious, though. They’re just trying to scratch the surface,” said Chi Tian and smiled. “If they are reckless, they’ll regret it.”

Xu Bai and Bi Zhu were both shocked. Not everyone was here yet, and they were already trying to become immortals.

At the same time, the minds of the Twelve Heavenly Kings seemed to be soaring into the endless sky. As long as they flew high, they felt that there was hope for them to become immortals.

At first, they were successful, but when they saw the light of the sky, they felt as though the sky was going to fall. The endless pressure pressed down on them.

“I’d like to see just how big the pressure of the mountain and sea is.” King Taomu’s eyes lit up.

The power of the mountains and seas appeared one after another. When he saw the big picture of the immense power, he was stunned.

Behind every layer of the pressure was another immense suppressing power of the mountains and seas.

They could never break this ceiling of power.

How was this possible?

Becoming an immortal meant breaking through this immense power of the mountain and sea?

Even a hundred thousand years would not be enough to break through something like this.

Boom!

In the central sea area, the Twelve Heavenly Kings suffered great pressure and fell from their water pillars.

They opened their eyes in shock.

If they could not sense the difficulty of becoming an immortal before, they were very clear of it now.

It was simply impossible.

Who could help them through this?

All twelve of them realized how difficult it was to become an immortal.

As their hearts sank, the sea suddenly fell silent. Then, footsteps approached from afar.

Someone was approaching.

With each step, the seawater rippled.
