Chapter 159: Toward Heavens beyond Heaven

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Compared to Roasted Chicken Gal, Yi Qing was recovering faster. All he needed was a little more rest. If he went to the Emperor Ascension Stage and increased his cultivation level to become a Young Emperor, perhaps he would heal much faster, given that the immortal Qi surrounding his body would become richer as well.

It was coincidental that the Emperor Ascension Stage was also located at the Heavens beyond Heaven; only that they were at opposite ends. Since he would have to go there sooner or later, they decided that it was best they all went to Heavens beyond Heaven together- Shen Ying and Yi Qing would separate from the group to go to the Immortal Ascension Stage. Roasted Chicken Gal and Feng Ying would then follow Blackbird and Biao Ting, the two emperors, to obtain the Dry Half-Moon.

Once they left Invincible Sect, the two demon immortals finally relaxed a little. It was great – they were still alive! They had been worried for over half a month, but now they could finally breathe again.

Luckily, they were of use to Shen Ying, otherwise it was likely they would find themselves on Exalted Goddess’ table by then. The two animals were so overjoyed that they treated Feng Ying and Qi Chengyu with extra kindness. Not only did they draw their top-grade immortal weapons to accompany them on the way, they even gave them an explanation of the Heavens beyond Heaven so that they would not be bored to death.

“Fellow Immortals, are you tired? Would you like to take a break? It would take us two more days to get to the Heavens beyond Heaven from here. We are in absolutely no hurry.”

“That’s right, Lady Qi, you’re still a spirit and it’s not convenient for you to travel so far and wide. I have a Soul Stabilising Pearl here that can help you to recuperate your Qi and energy. You might find it very useful.”

“That’s right. Fellow Immortal Ying, you’re so gravely injured. I have a bottle of top-grade immortal pills here. Please hold on to it, and have one to aid the healing process. You can keep the rest of them for when you need them!”

Feng Ying: “...”

Qi Chengyu: “...”

“Thank... Thank you, Celestial Emperors.” Seeing as the two emperors were not likely to rest until they accepted the gifts, Feng Ying and Qi Chengyu reached out for the items that the emperors were holding out, thanking them.

“Feng Ying.” Qi Chengyu tugged at Feng Ying’s sleeve. She glanced at the two people’s sincere looks and could not help but ask, “Are these two... really Celestial Emperors?” Are they really the strongest people in the immortal realm?

“They are... right?” Feng Ying was not so sure himself. Are the immortals in the immortal realm all this polite? Feng Ying saw that the two emperors were about to offer them more items, so he quickly said, “Thank you for all your hard work, Celestial Emperors. It is getting late, let us be on our way. We arranged to meet Shen Ying in about ten days at the Invincible Sect, so...”

Before he could finish speaking, the two Celestial Emperors trembled. Immediately, they straightened up and became pale. They no longer looked as relaxed as they did before. “Hurry, hurry, hurry, let us make our way to the Heavens beyond Heaven today!” They almost forgot that they were on a mission.

With a swipe of their weapon, they travelled at a speed ten times higher than before.

Qi Chengyu, who almost lost her balance: “...”

Feng Ying, who recalled something: “...”

Did we accidentally wake Shen Ying from her nap?

On the other side.

The master and disciple both looked at the person in front of them in silence.

“What are you looking at?” Lonemoon glared at them. “You opened the Heavens beyond Heaven. Can’t I go?”

“Er... That’s not it.” Shen Ying scratched her head. “It’s just that I thought you were going along with Feng Ying and the rest.”

Yi Qing: “I second that.”

Given Father Niu’s greedy character, there was no reason he would give up two potential clients and go with them to the Emperor Ascension Stage instead. It just did not make any sense!

“Why would I follow their group?” Lonemoon rolled his eyes. He was not that close to them. “You two create trouble wherever you go – it seems to be ingrained in you. How can I leave the both of you alone?” He did not want to receive news of the mess that they left behind everywhere the next day. What’s more, judging from the attitude that Blackbird and Biao Ting took toward them, it was likely that they would meet again often. Even if he wanted to do business with them, he would have plenty of opportunities to do so in future.

He had already instructed Feng Ying to collect information as well. With the help of the system, he would be able to detect even mushrooms growing thousands of miles away. With the hard numbers, he would be able to do his calculations and cheat... Pui! More like do business with them more efficiently.

“Hurry, hurry! Isn’t the Emperor Ascension Stage very far away?” Lonemoon hurried them. “We said we would get it settled within ten days. We have more business to tend to once we get back, don’t we? Stop wasting time, both of you.”

Shen Ying: “...”

Yi Qing: “...”

We peasants indeed would never understand the world of the rich.

Although Father Niu rushed them the entire way, the three of them still took about five days to arrive at the Emperor Ascension Stage in the Heavens beyond Heaven. Actually, the Heavens beyond Heaven looked exactly like the Yu Feng Immortal Abode – It was connected to the Immortal Realm yet seemed entirely separate from it.

As Yu Feng Immortal Abode was located at the boundaries of the immortal realm but the Heavens beyond Heaven was located right in the centre of it- and above in the skies. If one wanted to go up there, they would have to go through the Nine-Layered Palace Gates. Immortals from different continents guard each level. Only those who held that Celestial Emperor tokens could pass through the palace doors and go to the next level. However, the Emperor Ascension Stage was different; located at the far ends of the Heavens beyond Heaven. There was no need to pass through the Nine-Layered Palace Gates in order to get there.

The three of them flew directly up to the stage. All they saw for a couple of days was white immortal fog all around. After a long, hard journey, they saw a stage standing between two huge clouds. The stage was extremely wide – it looked like the training field back in their sect. There were no special infrastructure around the stage. It stood alone in the skies.

From far away, they could feel an immense pressure emitting from the stage. Lonemoon paused for awhile to prepare himself. He sucked in a deep breath and flew toward the stage.

The moment they landed, a white figure appeared in front of them.

“Greetings, Fellow Immortals.” The person was dressed in white robes and had a head full of white hair. He was grinning at Yi Qing. His eyes twinkling, he bowed. “Young Majesty.”

There were three levels of emperors in the immortal realm. Those who were ascending to become Young Emperors would be addressed as “Young Majesty”; those who were becoming Immortal Emperors would be addressed as “Exalted Majesty”; and those who were becoming Celestial Emperors would be addressed as “Celestial Majesty”. The man had been working at the Emperor Ascension Stage for many years. Naturally, he could tell that Yi Qing was the one who had come to ascend into young emperorship.

“Congratulations on your fast-growing cultivation level, Young Majesty.” The man smiled kindly at Yi Qing. Without further ado, he stepped forward and said, “I am the immortal who guards the Emperor Ascension Stage. All the Celestial Majesties have sent me here to explain matters to the new Immortal Majesties. Please follow me, Fellow Immortals.”

As he led all of them up the Emperor Ascension Stage, he pointed to the centre of the stage and turned to Yi Qing. “Young Majesty, please stand on the heavenly stone in the middle of the stage. A white beam of light will appear. Young Emperor will only need to suck in the immortal Qi and wait for a minute.”

“Thank you, Fellow Immortal.” Yi Qing nodded and walked toward the center of the stage.

Shen Ying and Lonemoon followed subconsciously, but they were stopped by the immortal guard. “Please stop here, Fellow Immortals. Only immortals who are about to ascend may step onto the Emperor Ascension Stage.”

“Oh.” The two of them stepped back obediently and looked worriedly at the man standing in the centre of the stage. Afterall, he was not fully recovered.

“Do not worry, Fellow Immortals,” the immortal guard reassured them, as if reading their minds. “Young Majesty will be alright. Ascending to emperorship is different from enduring tribulations. There will only be a heavenly light, which will be highly beneficial to his cultivation. There is no danger.”

“There’s no heavenly tribulation?” Lonemoon stared blankly at him. He thought that the immortal guard stopped them to keep them from getting hurt by the lightning tribulation!

“Exalted Immortal, you are joking,” the immortal guard sniggered. “It is a good thing to ascend into emperorship. Why should there be a lightning tribulation? Being able to come onto this Emperor Ascension Stage is considered a reward to those who make it. But... in future when he ascends to become an Immortal Emperor or Supreme Celestial Emperor, he would no longer need to come here again.”

“I see.” Lonemoon nodded, not thinking much of what the guard said. He turned back to look at Yi Qing in the centre of the stage.
