CHAPTER 1078: CHAPTER 1078: ASCENSION HEAVEN, ASCENSION IMMORTAL CITY

Zhu Fei, after escaping the pursuit of Xu Cheng and the three Immortal Monarchs from the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace, finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If he were only facing Xu Cheng alone, Zhu Fei was confident he could fight him.

But with the addition of the three from the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace, even with all his confidence, Zhu Fei would surely not be a match for them.

Fortunately, he had the Void Light Wheel with him, and his cultivation had made some breakthroughs, which kept them from catching up, otherwise, he would have been in big trouble.

However, when Zhu Fei thought about Chen Tianxing and Fatty Zhuge, he couldn’t help but feel a bit gloomy.

The appearance of Xu Cheng and those three Immortal Monarchs had obviously disrupted Zhu Fei’s original plan.

Initially, Zhu Fei was thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity created by the sudden change in the Secret Realm to reunite with them.

Unfortunately, plans could never keep pace with changes, and in the blink of an eye, Zhu Fei was no longer able to go back.

But he knew there was nothing he could do about it, and luckily Chen Tianxing had Lan Ye with him, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.

As for Fatty Zhuge, with his brains, he probably wouldn’t be in too much trouble either.

With this slight thought, Zhu Fei’s originally worried mood improved somewhat.

At that moment, Zhu Fei thought carefully and decided to focus on enhancing his own strength first.

Only by enhancing his own strength could he have the confidence to do whatever he wanted in the future.

Zhu Fei did not linger long; his figure flickered slightly and then quickly vanished from the spot.

...

Half a year later, in a secluded valley.

Zhu Fei sat cross-legged, and around him was surrounded by the aura of time flowing.

Under the influence of this aura, Zhu Fei’s hair alternated between turning white and regaining its black luster, appearing extremely peculiar.

Yes, Zhu Fei was cultivating, and not long ago, he had consumed a Time Dao Fruit.

With the power of the Time Dao Fruit, Zhu Fei gradually elevated the Time Mystery he had once comprehended, progressively turning it into the Time Law under his control.

Though it was only an initial grasp of the Time Law, the power it could ultimately exhibit was not to be underestimated.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a quaint stone bridge appeared before Zhu Fei, flowing with a rich aura of time.

Under the influence of this temporal aura, the surrounding soil and ground began to decompose gradually, eventually turning into sand and even dust.

But that wasn’t all. As the temporal power continued to circulate, the place where the dust had formed slowly sprouted a tender shoot.

The shoot quickly grew larger, and in a short while, it became a blade of grass, then a sapling, and finally, a towering tree!

Success!

Seeing the towering tree suddenly appear, Zhu Fei opened his eyes wide with joy.

He hadn’t expected that a single Time Dao Fruit would assist him this much.

Not only did it elevate his initial grasp of the Time Law, but it also allowed him to merge with the surrounding world, experiencing the evolution of all things quietly.

Zhu Fei was certain; this pure law comprehension could only be attained through such a Dao Fruit.

No wonder, no wonder those people would stop at nothing to fight over a Dao Fruit.

Zhu Fei stood up, looking at the towering tree before him. His gaze subtly flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips as he murmured to himself:

"Since my Time Law carries the power of Canghai’s changes, my divine skill shall be known as Ephemeral Years."

Zhu Fei was confident that now, with the Ephemeral Years divine skill, he had over a sixty percent chance of killing Xu Cheng on the spot if they met again.

With this thought, Zhu Fei did not linger but transformed into a shadow, quickly vanishing from the valley.

No matter what, he still had many things to do. Even if he wanted to enhance his strength quickly, he couldn’t stay in one place forever.

After all, he still needed to find Chen Tianxing and the others, and according to what Fatty Zhuge said, Ji Xuanyue could have already ascended to the Immortal Realm. He must find her as soon as possible.

And the best way to find them is to establish a power of his own.

This way, whether it’s by using his power to seek out everyone, or by letting them notice his influence, is an excellent approach.

...

A month later, Zhu Fei’s figure appeared within Ascension Heaven, in a place known as Ascension Immortal City.

According to Zhu Fei’s understanding, Ascension Heaven is generally the highest possibility of where cultivators from the Lower Realm appear after their ascent.

And Ascension Immortal City is specifically responsible for receiving Lower Realm ascended cultivators.

Although ascended cultivators from the Lower Realm might not all end up in Ascension Heaven, it’s undoubtedly the most likely possibility among the great Lower Realm domains.

With no clues, Zhu Fei could only come here to try his luck.

After more than half a month’s journey on the cross-domain train, Zhu Fei finally arrived smoothly in the Ascension Heavenly Domain.

Given his current strength, avoiding the eyes of those Great Sects wasn’t too difficult.

As he walked through Ascension Immortal City, Zhu Fei explored the area, but found no clues at all.

After some time, Zhu Fei arrived at a place specializing in selling shops.

Seeing the somewhat arrogant middle-aged man before him, Zhu Fei didn’t hesitate and directly asked:

"Fellow Daoist, could you please tell me how I might go about buying a shop in Ascension Immortal City? And how many Immortal Crystals would it cost?"

The middle-aged man, a Profound Immortal Cultivator, frowned slightly upon seeing Zhu Fei and replied with some impatience:

"Want to buy a shop? Didn’t you find out beforehand? I’m in charge of registration here. You should find out first and come to me later once you’ve got the information."

Zhu Fei immediately frowned, feeling somewhat annoyed.

According to Zhu Fei’s understanding, this place is basically like a real estate agency on Earth, the only difference being their considerable authority.

Wanting to buy a shop and inquiring about it is actually a perfectly normal thing to do here.

Yet Zhu Fei hadn’t expected the guy before him to be so arrogant. Damn, being this arrogant, does your boss know?
