Chapter 2573 Celestial Ascension Pool

Devata Realm was just a common name. There were 81 Devata Realms in the Colossal World. Each Devata Realm was surrounded by numerous mundane realms, like stars and moon orbiting a planet.

Usually, Eminent Celestials and Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from mundane realms would ascend to the Devata Realm that was closest to them. For instance, people from Yan Huang Realm would generally ascend to the Jade Emperor Heaven since they were adjacent to one another. However, nothing was absolute. If the Colossal World was in turmoil, the space between the mundane realms and Devata Realms would be in turmoil as well. At this time, there was a possibility that those who were ascending might not ascend to the Devata Realms closest to them.

Generally, a turmoil or disturbance in the Colossal World only happened once every 10,000 years and would only last for 1,000 years. In other words, for once to encounter a disturbance, the chance was only one in ten.

Duan Ling Tian who was ascending was quite lucky. The disturbance in the Colossal World had only started less than a year ago and would last for 1,000 years. Due to the disturbance, the chances of him ascending to the Jade Emperor Heaven was very small.

…

Since Duan Ling Tian had lost consciousness shortly after the Celestial Ascension Force led him away from the mundane realm, he was unaware of what had happened. When he opened his eyes, he discovered he was already submerged in a pool of white mist.

‘Where am I?’ Duan Ling Tian began surveying his surroundings as soon as he regained consciousness. He discovered the pool that he was in was as big as a football field. From time to time, he saw figures appearing around him. When these figures appeared, all of them had their eyes closed. It seemed like there were also people who had arrived before him. At the same time, he kept his ears open when he heard the people around him talking.

“So this is the Devata Realm?”

Someone laughed. “I ascended! I finally ascended!”

“So I’m a Heavenly Celestial now? Indeed, I can clearly feel the difference. The mixture of Celestial Origin Energy and Saint Origin in my body has finally transformed into pure Celestial Origin Energy. It seems like it’s all due to the Celestial Ascension Pool.”

“I’ve heard that when Eminent Celestials ascend, we’ll enter a Celestial Ascension Pool as soon as we arrive in the Devata Realm. Apparently, we’ll only regain consciousness once we’ve become Heavenly Celestials. It seems like what I heard is true!”

‘Heavenly Celestial. So I’m a Heavenly Celestial?’ Upon hearing the discussion in his surroundings, Duan Ling Tian instinctively checked his body. True enough, he discovered his Saint Origin had disappeared and was replaced with Celestial Origin Energy. At some point, he had turned into a Heavenly Celestial.

‘All my clothes are gone!’ It did not take long before Duan Ling Tian discovered he was naked. He felt fortunate the white mist from the Celestial Ascension Pool had covered the important parts of his bodies. At the same time, he was baffled when he discovered the people around him were clothed.’But why are they dressed?’

However, upon closer inspection, Duan Ling Tian discovered these people were not wearing clothes. They had formed clothes using their Celestial Origin Energy. He also discovered those who had yet to regain consciousness were also dressed. He thought to himself, ‘It seems like the clothes on those who are unconscious are formed from a mixture of Celestial Origin Energy and Saint Origin. It seems to be changing constantly as their energies turn into pure Celestial Origin Energy. It seems they’ve known about this before their ascension and came prepared.’

“Why didn’t Big Brother Zhi remind me?” Duan Ling Tian muttered with a bitter smile on his face before he manipulated his Celestial Origin Energy and turned it into a purple robe.

Duan Ling Tian was certain that Xuan Yuan Zhi, the old ancestor of Yellow Thearch Mansion, knew one could not bring anything, including clothes, from the mundane realms to the Devata Realms. Most people knew this so they would form clothes from their energies so they would not be naked when they arrived in the Devata Realms. He was not aware that Xuan Yuan Zhi did not remind him about this because Xuan Yuan Zhi had thought this was common knowledge.

‘These people should have just ascended to the Devata Realms like me,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. Elder Huo, the pagoda spirit of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, had told him that one would appear in the Celestial Ascension Pool when one had just ascended to a Devata Realm. The pool would help one to become a true Celestial. He also knew that after one had left the Celestial Ascension Pool, one would not be able to enter it again. This was because the pool only granted entry to Eminent Celestials and Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials who still had Saint Origin Energy in their bodies.

‘There isn’t any woman among these people who just ascended,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself when he discovered they were no women in his surroundings. There were many kinds of people around him; there were people who wore scruffy, ordinary, and beautiful clothes, and there were people who were tall, short, plump, and skinny of different ages. However, like him, all of them were men.

‘It seems like there aren’t many female cultivators who can ascend to a Devata Realm no matter which mundane realms they’re from,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He was not surprised. After all, women’s innate talent was much inferior compared to men. Naturally, there were a few women who had extraordinarily high innate talent that were even higher than most men! After a while, his attention shifted back to himself, feeling happy that he had finally become a Heavenly Celestial.

Suddenly, a voice laced with impatience bellowed from the other side of the pool, “What’s all this fuss about? Shut up!” The voice seemed to contain some force as it drowned out the voices in the surroundings.

Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, shifted their attention to the source of the voice. They discovered the voice belonged to a young man dressed in silver armor. The young man looked strong, but his appearance was ordinary. He was staring at them with big eyes that gleamed with anger. His eyes flicked past everyone, including Duan Ling Tian.

After a moment of silence, a young man dressed in brocade clothing stood up in the Celestial Ascension Pool. He chuckled coldly before he said, “Who are you? How dare you behave so rudely? It’s none of your business if we’re talking!”

Many people in the Celestial Ascension Pool nodded in agreement as they coldly looked at the strong young man who was dressed in silver armor.

Which one of these people in the Celestial Ascension Pool was not the pride of the mundane realms that they came from? The fact that they survived their tribulation and ascended was enough to prove their innate talent and strength. How could they tolerate someone else being rude to them?

All of a sudden, an unrestrained laughter rang from outside the pool as soon as the young man who was dressed in brocade robes finished speaking. In just a blink of an eye, another young man dressed in silver armor appeared like a ghost before everyone’s eyes. This man, unlike the other young man in silver armor, was handsome with an average build.

As soon as the handsome young man dressed in silver armor appeared, he looked at the other young man in silver armor. He laughed derisively before he said, “Wang Wei, I think you’re regressing the longer you live. Even newly-ascended people dare to shout at you.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Wei’s expression darkened as he glared at the handsome young man in silver armor who had just appeared. “Feng Qing!” Then, he turned to that young man in brocade clothes and said coldly with burning eyes, “Brat, you better stay in the pool forever… Otherwise, I’ll…”

The young man in the brocade clothing interjected, “So what if I leave the pool?” He flew out of the Celestial Ascension Pool and stood in front of Wang Wei, clearly unafraid.

‘I think this fellow is about to meet with misfortune.’ Duan Ling Tian furrowed his brows as he looked at the young man in brocade clothing. A hint of wariness could be seen in his eyes when he shifted his gaze to Wang Wei.
