Ascension of the Immortal Asura

Chapter 884 Moving Towards The World Seed



John sat still within the void, feeling his new power coursing through his meridian and surging through his body. The increase in power felt wonderful, but he dared not waste too much time while within the World Dimension Seeds domain. There were many things yet to accomplish, and he would have time to study his new power at a later time.

His attention shifted to his body dantian, and his face lit up with slight surprise.

‘My body dantian advanced on its own, and has already formed its own spatial realm!’ John thought, shocked by this discovery. He had completely failed to notice this transformation.

Since the start of his cultivation journey, John always had to raise the level of his body dantian manually, just as he did his essence dantian. Once he had ascended to the Heaven Tribulation Realm, something seemed to have changed. His body dantian had become much more in tune with his essence dantian, as if the two were almost intertwined.

He had been able to raise his body dantian cultivation a minor realm higher than his essence dantian in the past, but now was not able to do so. Each time he attempted to push it above his essence dantian, his mind was nearly overwhelmed with the sinister murmurs coming from within the dantian. .

He could tell that if he did so, there was a large chance that he would be overwhelmed, and lose his sanity, or even worse. As such, he had not attempted to do so, and had raised it equally alongside his essence dantian.

He had wanted to do the same here and now, but had discovered that his body dantian had advanced to the Dao Transformation Realm on its own.

‘How did I not notice such a thing happening?’ John wondered, and then shook his head, unable to answer his own question. His body dantian was the most profound thing he had ever encountered, and sometimes it was as if it had a mind of its own. His mysterious father still dwelled within the holy gate, and John was sure he most likely had something to do with this.

John shook his head helplessly, and then sent his divine sense into his body dantians spatial realm. His soul washed over it, and his eyes widened slightly.

‘There’s no Dao seeds!’ he noticed, slightly surprised once more. His essence dantian was covered with them, yet this one was as smooth as glass.

‘Did I screw up somehow? Or is my body dantian unable to form Dao seeds? Or is it something else entirely?’

Many questions entered his mind, but he had answers to none of them. John thought about asking his mysterious father the questions, but then shook his head against the idea.

‘The bastard never answers any of my questions. It would just be a waste of time,’ John grumbled internally, and then pushed the entire issue aside for the moment.

Whatever the reason his body dantian had advanced on its own was, whatever the reason it didn’t have any Dao seeds, it didn’t matter right now. He didn’t have answers, and didn’t have anyone who would answer those questions either. In fact, he didn’t really care either, as despite the fact that there were no Dao seeds, John was sure that this was intended. It was only a feeling he had, but his feelings were normally correct.

As such, John put the thoughts aside, and sent his divine sense into the body dantian, and the palace realm within. He entered the palace, and went about his usual routine when breaking through to the next major realm.

He painfully absorbed the drop of sinister and holy blood, and felt his affinity towards the Immortal Asura Tome increase. He then touched the chains on both the holy and sinister gate, causing one on each gate to crumble, increasing the intensity of both the holy and sinister aura’s coming out from within.

As he touched the sinister gate chain and made it disappear, the palace shook violently for a brief moment, as if a slumbering giant was awakening. A deep rumble boomed out from within the sinister gate, as he had heard before.

John stared at the gate curiously for a moment, watching to see if anything would happen. Nothing changed, and the gate fell silent once more.

‘There’s definitely something inside, but what exactly is in there?’ John asked himself. He had a few guesses, but that’s all they were; guesses. He had no way of knowing if his guesses were correct, and knew his mysterious father would not answer him.

Completing his business within his palace realm, John’s divine sense left, and his consciousness returned to the real world. He felt his body surge with even more power than before now that he had fully pushed his body dantian to the next level, and marveled in that feeling for a brief moment before pushing the feeling aside.

His eyes opened, and he stared at the bright World Dimension Seed hovering in the very center of the void. His eyes glimmered with anticipation.

It was time to claim the seed for himself!

Firming his mind, John leaned forward once more, and he slowly started to float towards the seed. The Grand Abbot’s face perked up slightly, as John had started to move once more. He had finally recovered from the shock of what he had seen John do previously, and was eager to see if he would be able to obtain the seed that so many others had failed to claim.

His heartbeat quickened with anticipation. If there was someone capable of claiming such an ancient World Dimension Seed, then it would surely be the youth who had defied all the laws of the cultivation world just moments ago. Even so, the Grand Abbot held his breath.

The World Dimension Seed was ancient, and its power and sentience, and thus its requirements, were astronomically high. He feared it may already have grown to a level that no one, not even John, could claim, but he hoped that was not the case. If that truly was the case, then his life’s purpose, the reason for him living on this world for so long, would all have been a colossal waste.

As he watched John approach the seed, the Grand Abbot held his breath. John was just about to enter the area where the resistance would start, and the trial to prove himself worthy began.

The Grand Abbot’s face twitched slightly. Something was wrong! There was no resistance. No test of worthiness. When all those before had crossed that threshold, they had been bombarded with the Daoly energy coming from the World Dimension Seed, and had needed to pass a variety of tests in order to advance.

Tests of dantian talent. Tests of comprehension talent. Tests of cultivation talent, and so much more. All who had come had faced those tests, and all had failed miserably. But now, that Daoly energy was nowhere to be found. Those tests were non-existent.

The Grand Abbot felt his heart sink for a moment as he tried to figure out what was going on.

“Is the World Dimension Seed dying? Has it been weakened to a point that it can no longer test worthiness?” he mumbled, but shook his head firmly a moment later.

“No. The World Seed is stronger than ever!” he said firmly. “So why? Why has the test not begun-”

His words cut off as he noticed something happen to the World Dimension Seed, and his eyes widened to the point where they could not widen anymore. A new level of disbelief washed over the Grand Abbot, who thought he had finally gone mad, and was seeing things that were not happening.

The World Dimension Seed, which had existed unmoving in the center of this pocket realm since its birth, was moving.

It was moving towards John, as if it were the one being tested for its worthiness.

The Grand Abbot’s mind shook as he watched the seed approach John, and John approach it. The two finally arrived before each other, and John inspected the blindingly bright seed up close for a moment before nodding his head in a satisfied manner.

“You really are an amazing treasure,” the Grand Abbot heard John say with an approving tone, almost as if he were speaking of a weapon or a pill, and not one of the most heavenly objects in existence. “Together, we should be able to do some amazing things.”

Upon saying this, John reached out and touched the bright seed, and then it vanished. The brightness of the void faded away, and the profound Daoly energy disappeared as well, filing the space they were in with empty silence.

Wide eyed, the Grand Abbot breathed out, whispering soft words audible only to him. Words he thought he might never say.

“The World Dimension Seed has finally been claimed!”
