323: Teleportation permissions are released, ascension permissions are released
Long Aotian possessed an Inner World and the Nine Treasures Glazed Chaos World Tower, allowing him to bring others with him during Ascension.
However, his Family rejected this approach, hoping that Family Disciples would Ascend based on their own strength.
What could he do?
He felt helpless!
Perhaps, Feng Zixian was right!
Everyone was not an ordinary person; Long Aotian couldn't protect them for a lifetime. Bringing them up was one thing, but who knew if bringing them up would ultimately help or harm them?
Bringing someone who didn't have the strength to Ascend up was undoubtedly equivalent to harming them, and they might not necessarily appreciate it.
In his previous life, Long Aotian worked in a hospital, often shuttling between the morgue and the crematorium. He had witnessed too many instances where Family members didn't show gratitude.
For example, sons and daughters-in-law working in the city, having bought houses there, wanted to bring their elderly mothers from the village to the city to show filial piety and enjoy life. However, the elderly mothers often refused to go, perhaps fearing the unfamiliar urban environment or wishing to return to their roots. The son, due to work, was ultimately forced to stay in the city, while the elderly mother died in the village without anyone knowing in time... Humans are sometimes complex animals; you may want to be good to someone, but they may not necessarily accept your kindness.
Confessing, saying you love her, willing to do anything for her, even give your life, and she might just say one word: 'Scram!'
At this point, we shouldn't let love turn into hate, but rather be open-minded. If the other person didn't slap you, they were still polite. As for whether to continue pursuing this 'tigress' or give up, that requires more consideration... After several Family meetings.
The Dragon Clan, Hua Family, and Feng Family members all ultimately decided that they would Ascend on their own!
They also decided that they would Ascend some time after Long Aotian had Ascended!
This was to give Long Aotian time to establish the Dragon Heaven Palace in the Immortal Realm, so that when they Ascended, they could go directly to the Dragon Heaven Palace.
Long Aotian fully respected his Family's decision and understood that their decision was not to be a burden on him. He was secretly moved and took out Immortal Rank Cultivation resources from his Immortal Lord storage ring for everyone to use.
With his and Feng Zixian's current strength, and with the two of them protecting, the Heavenly Dao of the Sky Ruins Continent would naturally not be able to send down thunder penalties to expel Immortals whose spiritual power had transformed into Immortal power. Especially since Long Aotian had also set up a Level Five Void Realm protection array on Dragon Peak, which could completely defend against the bombardment of the Heavenly Dao Peak Immortal Emperor level.
During the Family meeting, Long Aotian also initially gave his timeline for Ascending to the Immortal Realm, which was to Ascend only after his daughter learned to speak, walk, and even run.
Recently, Long Tianling had already started to be weaned.
Feng Zixian conceived Long Tianling only after breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm. Compared to children born to other Cultivators in the Lower Realm, Long Tianling's growth rate was undoubtedly faster.
The immense energy within her body was strengthening her physical body as time passed; she was already at the Second Mortal Weapon Body Realm right after being weaned.
Within half a year, she began to babble her first words.
A year later, she was speaking fluently and had also learned to walk.
After spending a carefree and ordinary period of time with his Family, Long Aotian finally began his journey of Ascension... It is worth mentioning that during this year, the 100,000 magnates successively supplemented two more batches of vanguard troops: the second batch of 200,000 people and the third batch of 300,000 people.
The number of Disciples sent by Dragon Heaven Palace to Four Symbols Island was even greater, recruiting over five million Tribulation Transcendence Realm Disciples from Loose Cultivators in over a year, already nearing saturation.
Moving forward, Dragon Heaven Palace's recruitment of Disciples will primarily focus on those with lower Cultivation Realms, young age, and excellent Martial Arts Talent.
The total number of Dragon Heaven Palace Disciples approached seven million, with six million Dragon Heaven Palace Disciples on Four Symbols Island alone.
The Tribulation Realm Experts gathered on the entire Four Symbols Island from the Sky Ruins Continent exceeded 50 billion people, nearly ten times the local population.
Four Symbols Island undoubtedly possessed the power to counterbalance the Four Great Empires, and the protective array encircling Four Symbols Island was just waiting for Long Aotian to open it at any time.
A year's time was also sufficient for those Ascension Realm experts who had flocked there to calm their minds and face the issue of Ascension, and using this time window, they also properly handled some issues in the Lower Realm.
When Dragon Heaven Palace announced that Long Aotian would soon go to the Immortal Martial Continent to prepare for Ascension, and that teleportation access would be fully opened to Ascension Realm experts and Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage experts, those Ascension Realm experts and Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage experts were no longer as excited, having adjusted their mindsets very well.
Long Aotian, who was preparing to teleport to the Immortal Martial Continent with the Empress and a group of Dragon Heaven Palace Disciples, was very satisfied with this. His voice spread to every corner of the Eastern Wasteland as he told them: "Your current state is excellent!
Remember!
You must remain calm!
After Ascension, various problems still await us. We will be the lowest and most insignificant ants in the Immortal Realm, so there's no need to be so excited. Furthermore, there's no need to Ascend with the arrogant attitude from the Lower Realm, otherwise, if we anger powerful experts, it would be too easy for newcomers to be played to death!
This Palace hopes that everyone will not blame this Palace for holding you back for a year. This year of calm is enough to save the lives of one percent of Ascenders!"
"Continent Lord is wise!"
"Continent Lord is wise!"
"..."
"Alright, this Palace won't say any more unnecessary words to everyone. After the access is opened, at least hundreds of millions of Ascenders will be teleported to the Immortal Martial Continent. This Palace does not want everyone to crowd together to teleport and Undergo Tribulation, as that might be a disaster for you, understand?"
"Understood!"
All the top-tier experts of the continent felt a chill in their hearts.
If it weren't for this year's restriction, they might really have rushed to teleport and crowded together in a moment of hotheadedness.
But now?
Clearly not!
