West Continent Mountain Range.

Two figures appeared in the air.

A bolt of lightning was wreaking havoc and a flame was surging.

Boom!

Boom!

The two of them fought back and forth in midair, their auras pulsing with power.

Their attacks engulfed the entire mountain range.

Bang!

The two of them descended into the mountain range.

A huge pit appeared in the ground beneath their feet due to the immense power.

A youth held a halberd and stood in place. He had dragon horns on his head and lightning flickered on his body.

Lightning struck the ground from the halberd.

Ao Man looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with disdain.

"A sneak attack, but you still can't take me down. Are there no demons left?"

"As the Eighth Prince of the Dragon race, you have astonishing talent and it was rumored that you were an immortal when you were born. It's an honor to be on par with the Eighth Prince." Huo Zhi sneered at Ao Man.

They had both come here for a treasure. It was just a coincidence that they had met.

After they met, they then started fighting.

They hadn't found the treasure yet, but both of them knew why the other party was here.

Thus, this fight determined both party's life and death.

The treasure would naturally belong to the victor.

"It's your honor to be killed by me." Ao Man walked out.

Lightning surged around the Square Sky Halberd in his hand. As Ao Man stepped forward, lightning began to envelop his body.

Then, lightning appeared in the sky, and deafening booms filled the air.

At this moment, Ao Man brandished the halberd in his hand, summoning violent lightning that swept out in all directions.

Boom!

The halberd was directly aimed at Huo Zhi.

The ground was covered in flames and the flames gushed out.

The fiery snake engulfed the lightning.

"Yes, to be able to kill the Eighth Prince is an extraordinary feat. For my merits, I can only ask you to die."

Flames swept out in all directions like giant dragons, and the lightning dissipated under the fire snakes.

"With just you?" Ao Man was covered in lightning. He waved his halberd, and lightning flashed.

"Lightning Storm Descent."

Boom!

Endless lightning fell from the sky.

The might was heaven-shaking, and the violent aura destroyed everything. The fire snake was like a flame being extinguished by lightning.

"Hmph, a battle with a trapped beast." Huo Zhi pressed his palms together as flames bloomed.

"Myriad Furnace!"

Whoosh!

The flames began to extend and cover a large area.

In just a moment, the flames turned into a furnace and surrounded the lightning, trapping Ao Man within.

"You want to trap yourself? You fire demon, you are really brainless." Ao Man grabbed his halberd and charged straight at the fire.

Huo Zhi waved his hand, and a fiery spear appeared in his hand.

He faced Ao Man.

Boom!

Sparks flew in all directions.

Their movements were extremely fast, and their power swept out in all directions like a hurricane. Their figures flashed like lightning.

This battle seemed to last for a long time.

…

On the other side of the West Continent Mountain Range.

Jiang Lan sat in the underground space.

For safety reasons, he had been hiding underground.

Not even in a cave.

Many people would look for caves, but very few would dig the ground.

This way, he would not be easily disturbed during his seclusion.

Indeed.

Jiang Lan had sat here and cultivated for three years.

He had also prepared for three years.

He had already set up many array formations around him. There were array formations that guarded against others, and there were also array formations that were used to deal with the heavenly tribulation.

His array formations were all hidden. Even if someone were to come, he would not be discovered.

Furthermore, he had set up many array formations to confuse others.

Even if his traces were discovered, they would be lured elsewhere.

He had set these up at the outermost area.

If someone could see through it, their formation skills would definitely not be weak.

Jiang Lan had also prepared an escape route for himself. There was still time to escape.

Of course, if the other party was weak, there was no need to worry about it.

If the other party was strong, he would escape immediately.

By the time he had arrived at the West Continent Mountain Range, his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel had already reached its peak.

Even immortals might not be able to catch up to him.

Theoretically, that was the case, but there was no need for that. He would not go and compete with a Human Immortal.

If he failed, the price he would have to pay would be extremely heavy.

These three years were considered lucky. Although there were two people who came, they did not discover anything.

He had also successfully cultivated to this point peacefully.

Today, Jiang Lan felt that his condition had reached its peak.

He had not expected it to happen so quickly, but after arriving at the West Continent Mountain Range and obtaining a special spirit herb from signing in, his cultivation had improved significantly.

He had reached the peak of Void Refinement perfection and was on the verge of advancing.

If he continued to cultivate, he would attract the heavenly tribulation.

Immortal powers had begun to appear on his body, a sign that he was about to ascend to immortality.

It was also why he had come out of Kunlun earlier.

Immortal power was rather special, and it could be released outside his body. It was difficult to control unless one achieved immortality.

He wasn't sure if he would be detected or if there would be any abnormal signs when he reached this stage.

Thus, it was safer for him to come out of Kunlun before he raised his strength to the peak.

In the underground space, Jiang Lan sighed.

He held the Creation Pill in his hand.

Now that everything was ready, he was just one step away.

He just needed to transcend the tribulation to become an immortal.

"I wonder if the bottleneck will be resolved with this pill like before. If not, I will have to find another opportunity myself."

When advancing in the other realms, the Creation Pill could help resolve the user's bottlenecks. However, it was unknown if the heavenly tribulation was also considered a bottleneck.

For safety reasons, he prepared the last portion of Dao Comprehension Tea as well. If it didn't work, he would eat it.

Then, he would work hard to breakthrough.

Jiang Lan then put the Creation Pill into his mouth.

Whether he could become an immortal depended on his attempt this time.

After Jiang Lan swallowed the Creation Pill, he instantly arrived in the void. This place was the same as the one he had encountered before. It was a place to search for immortal gates.

At that moment, he felt a reaction from the Creation Pill.

The void changed, as if it was evolving on its own. The immortal gate that could be seen but not touched began to approach Jiang Lan.

However, when it got closer, the door suddenly disappeared. Then, countless doors appeared around him. These doors were all flashing.

Each flicker represented an obstacle.

Jiang Lan finally understood why he couldn't get close to the immortal gate. It was because only one of these gates was real. They would only change if he got close.

But he would have to depend on himself to find the right one.

If he could find the real one, or if he could find the one with the highest compatibility, perhaps it would be his immortal gate.

After Jiang Lan understood how it worked, he then took a step out.

In the end, all of the gates disappeared, only leaving behind a towering gate in the depths of the void.

The door had a golden glow.

Jiang Lan knew that this was his true immortal ascension gate.

He took large strides and arrived at the door.

As long as he pushed open this door, what awaited him was the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.

Splash!

Jiang Lan extended his hand and used the power of the Creation Pill to push open the door.

When the door opened, immortal powers gushed out, along with dazzling rays of light.

At this moment, he had an epiphany.

It was as if he had suddenly understood the Immortal Realm.

Becoming an immortal meant evolution. There were endless possibilities for him in the future once he became an immortal. As long as he could survive on and walk far on the path of the Dao, he could even live on forever.

It was as if a person walking on the earth had suddenly arrived in the sky.

Looking down at the land and the horizon.

He understood what the endless possibilities brought about by becoming an immortal.

The difference between immortals and mortals was like a chasm.

If he managed to take the last step successfully, his future would be bright and dazzling. If he couldn't, he would be buried in the earth.

Feeling all of this, Jiang Lan took a step forward, a step he had always wanted to take.

More than two hundred years ago, he entered the immortal sect to cultivate immortal techniques.

His initial goal was to become an immortal and protect himself. However, he also had some expectations in his heart.

Many people yearned for immortality.

Jiang Lan then walked into the immortal gate.

Today, he had finally achieved immortality.
