Chapter 1347: Immortal Ascension Tribulation
News that an Immortal Ascension Tribulation had appeared at the Dao-Seeking Sect and that Lu Yang was about to become an immortal spread quickly across the universe. This was unlike Wu Yao’s tribulation last time, when the Cultivation World’s spirit qi technology was in its infancy and information could only be transmitted at a limited speed.
With the rapid advancement of spirit qi technology over the years, communication technology had reached an astonishing level. Even across light-years, communication could be achieved without delay.
The livestream of Lu Yang’s Immortal Ascension Tribulation climbed to the top of the rankings, and the next few livestreams all showed the same tribulation from different angles.
“We don’t even need to do anything.” The Thief Ancestor sighed. As a major shareholder in cosmic broadcasting, manipulating popularity was easy. However, reality proved him wrong. This is a rare Immortal Ascension Tribulation. It can top the charts even without my help.
He watched with envy. I’ve lingered at the half-immortal realm for sixty thousand years without even touching the threshold of immortal ascension, yet this rising star is about to become an immortal.
└What livestream is this? Why is it so lively?
Someone from the Interstellar Alliance entered the livestream and was startled by the unprecedented popularity and the sheer number of bullet comments.
└Can’t you read the title? Someone from the Cultivation World is ascending to immortality!!!
Other people from the Interstellar Alliance replied excitedly in the bullet comments.
└Ascending to immortality? Isn’t that what the Cultivation World calls the limits of the human body?
└Limits of the human body? Do you even understand cultivation? This is a completely different level of existence.
└Another one brainwashed by clickbait accounts.
The Heavensea Planet’s salvation squad, whom Lu Yang had saved, all spoke up, describing how powerful Lu Yang was and saying that he was the pinnacle of life’s evolution.
Captain Zhan Po said nothing, simply sending tips.
Aside from the salvation squad, people with strange usernames like “Incarceration Peak True Legacy,” “Thanks to Incarceration Peak’s Guidance,” “Everlasting Old Four,” and “Ancient Barbarian Tribe” explained to passersby just how powerful Lu Yang was.
└Fun fact: when Heavenly Emperor Wu Yao underwent his Immortal Ascension Tribulation, an entire galaxy was shattered.
└This Immortal Ascension Tribulation doesn’t seem powerful and hasn’t even damaged the surrounding mountains because all its power is concentrated on Lu Yang.

└Why is the video quality so blurry? I can’t see anything clearly.
└Ignorant child, don’t spout nonsense. It’s not that the video quality is blurry. The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is distorting space. It’ll look the same even if you watch it in person.
A cultivator stepped in to explain. Judging by the information on his profile page, he was a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator.
└Is it really that impressive?
Even with the facts before them, some still refused to believe them. They felt that it was nothing more than getting struck by lightning a few times, something their mechanically modified bodies could withstand.
└You can try it in the holographic livestream.
Someone sneered. Refuse to believe it? Then taste some hardship.
└Holographic livestream?
They soon found it. Strangely, despite streaming the same Immortal Ascension Tribulation, it had very low viewership.
He connected to the port and felt as though he was truly at the Dao-Seeking Sect, facing the rolling heavenly thunderbolts up close. Only now did he feel the terror of the Immortal Ascension Tribulation. It was completely different from ordinary lightning and thunder. This was a heavenly tribulation that transcended nature, capable of destroying all things. Before it, every living being had only one fate—being reduced to ashes.
When they tried to speak, blood poured from their seven orifices. They were ejected from the holographic state.
└The danger alert was triggered!
They were shocked. This was a safety feature of the holographic system that monitored the user’s physical condition and ejected the user before any harm could befall them.
The holographic system could only simulate less than a ten-thousandth of the Immortal Ascension Tribulation’s power, which meant that even a tiny fraction of the tribulation’s power still posed a lethal threat to him.
Recalling that single instant of the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, they were shaken. They finally understood why the holographic stream had so few viewers. Ordinary people don’t even have the right to watch.
└Lu Yang is awesome!
He immediately posted a bullet comment, becoming a Lu Yang fan. This is an immortal who can withstand an Immortal Ascension Tribulation. Backing down is not embarrassing.
To people of other civilizations, Lu Yang was now indistinguishable from the gods of their myths.
└Great Immortal Lu Yang, bless me with good luck on my exams.
└Great Immortal Lu Yang, bless me with good health.
└Great Immortal Lu Yang, bless me with a good wife.
The bullet chat suddenly turned into a wishing well, leaving Lu Yang bewildered.
Halfway through his tribulation, Lu Yang suddenly received faith power surging in from all directions. “Where is all this faith power coming from?”
After the Cultivation World entered a new era, many cultivators liked taking shortcuts, displaying their mighty abilities through livestreams to collect faith power, advancing at incredible speed. When the Midheaven Emperor-Lord and the Fate Arbiter learned of this, they lamented not being born in a better era.
However, Lu Yang clearly wasn’t on this path. His sword tip traced a ring of sword qi, cutting off all faith power.
The dark clouds split, unleashing terrifying divine light of primal hundun chaos. The onlookers gasped, yet Lu Yang showed no urgency. With one sword, he split the light with ease.
The Vast Sea Daoist Lord was on his honeymoon when he heard of Lu Yang’s Immortal Ascension Tribulation. He immediately tore open a spatial passage to come over, laughing and cursing. “That brat cultivates really fast.”
The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign gathered his old brothers at the Dao-Seeking Sect. Look at how outstanding our Dao-Seeking Sect’s juniors are. Can other sects compare?
The Demon Monarch Zhu Tian summoned all his ministers to the palace to watch Lu Yang’s tribulation together. As the initiator of the Battle of the Great Era and the chosen child of fortune in this era, I feel like I can ascend. But with the Qilin Immortal above me, I definitely can’t.
He slapped his thigh in regret. “I chose the wrong Dao Fruit!” Had I known, I would have picked a different one.
Watching the livestream, the Sword Tower Supreme Lord marveled, “As expected of Lu Yang, the number one prodigy since antiquity.” Having failed her Immortal Ascension Tribulation but survived by sheer luck, she knew better than anyone how terrifying the tribulation was.
Recalling the torment she had suffered during the tribulation, then seeing Lu Yang as relaxed as if he were on a leisurely stroll, she couldn’t help but feel the disparity between them. As fellow sword cultivators, the contrast was especially striking, and all the emotions welling up within her heart condensed into a single sigh. “I just can’t compare.”
The Four Ancient Immortals had already rushed to the Dao-Seeking Sect and were moved by the sight. Even they hadn’t undergone their Immortal Ascension Tribulations with such ease.
“It’s almost like when Everlasting ascended,” the Nine-Layers Immortal remarked. Among everyone he knew, only the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had undergone her tribulations effortlessly.
“After all, he was chosen by Everlasting. He has known her since he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage,” the Qilin Immortal said. This is essentially having an immortal accompany you from the very beginning of your cultivation. Who else gets to cultivate under such conditions?
“Indeed. With such training, it’d be strange if he were weak.”
Lu Yang weighed the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, then stored it in his identity jade tablet. Using an immortal artifact to undergo the tribulation feels like cheating. I might as well cast it aside and make use of this chance to hone my Sword Dao.
Without the Qingfeng Sword to neutralize the tribulation, Lu Yang’s pressure multiplied.
A dull rumble came from the sky. The tribulation was brewing a new wave of assault. Boundless lightning transformed into Genesis Purple Qi, crashing toward Lu Yang with unstoppable momentum.
Lu Yang bit the tip of his tongue and pressed two fingers together, unleashing a surging sword qi that cleaved the Genesis Purple Qi in one strike. With undiminished power, the sword qi split the tribulation in two!
