Chapter 10 - Next Stage

The Void Immortal stage.

After Nie Feng becomes one, he would take at least more than a thousand realms worth of resources to reach the peak according to his judgment.

Fortunately, according to the other immortals, the resources in the three major realms were countless times more bountiful than these small realms combined. Because of that, Nie Feng went directly to a major realm after he became a Void Immortal.

For anyone below Void Immortal, if one were to go outside the realms in the starry void, one would have to get inside a realm to recharge their qi, or else they run out of it and die in the void.

A Void Immortal doesn't need such a hassle. The moment Nie Feng became a Void Immortal, he wouldn't have to defend himself from the starry void. He could stay for as long as he needed. He could even slowly restore his qi from the starry void.

Hence, Nie Feng could directly fly to a major realm without needing to stop over a small realm. Except that he still had to stop over and ask the other immortals because he didn't know the way to a major realm.

After years of traveling, as he stopped by realm after realm, he found the mood in the air was somewhat tense. Even in some of the realms, conflicts between humans, demons, and spirits were everywhere.

When Nie Feng finally arrived at a major realm, the conflicts had become a war between races. And as a Void Immortal human, he joined the human alliance and become one of the alliance lords right away.

After years of war, Nie Feng and the other lords planned to take over a major realm for the human race. But just when they were still trying to pick a major realm, news came from the outside that the spirit race had taken over a major realm and had even created a combined domain that covers the whole realm.

With how big a major realm is, it was no wonder Nie Feng and the others rarely see the spirit lords. Turns out they have been planning something from the beginning.

Hence, after the news was spread, the war entered a brief stop. And a meeting occurred between the leaders of the three races to discuss what just happened.

After a long discussion, the humans and the demons pick a major realm, and soon, all of them settled in their new realm. A temporary peace ensued.

With nothing to do, Nie Feng went on to scour the realm for resources. But with the immensity of the realm, Nie Feng only managed to gather a little.

And just after he got back to the alliance headquarters, another meeting was convened between the three races.

This time, the content of the discussion was to not have a war between races in a major realm.

Thus, all of the lords agreed to move the conflicts between the smaller realm and have a few realms act as a neutral zone. Those realms can be used as a trade zone.

After the agreement was done, the three races named their realms the Human Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Myriad Spirit Realm respectively and they all went back to their realm.

Thousands of years have passed since then.

Nie Feng had advanced to the mid-stage of the Void Immortal stage.

Just then, Nie Feng heard the news that an alliance lord was said to have ascended to the God Realm, and the whole Human Realm celebrated.

Nie Feng was not interested in it. Those who reached the peak of the Void Immortal stage and ascend that fast were those who went to scour the realm and fight for resources. But Nie Feng no longer bothers about fighting with others for resources.

Being an alliance lord, Nie Feng received a set amount of resources every year. And he estimated that he would need at least more than tens of thousands of years for him to reach the peak of the Void Immortal stage. But it didn't matter how long it would take since he could no longer age.

Consequently, while Nie Feng was accumulating resources, immortals were ascending every few thousand years. And while they ascended, Nie Feng learns a thing or two about how to ascend.

For one, the ascension was to pass a tribulation, receive a mark, walk through a path, receive a seed of law, and then ascend.

Nie Feng felt something strange but he can't put his finger on it. Perhaps he would have to go through the tribulation to know it.

And then, after almost a hundred thousand years since he becomes a Void Immortal, Nie Feng reached the peak of it. And just after he reached the peak, he immediately went through his godly tribulation.

His tribulation was somewhat different than the others. It was more ferocious. And he could now sense the strange feeling more intensely.

Nie Feng managed to pass through the tribulation with heavy injuries. As he was recuperating, the mark he had been waiting for streamed inside him.

But then...

The path that he was supposed to go through started to disappear just before it could fully materialize. Nie Feng was stunned. Even the other immortals watching were stunned.

Right after the path disappeared completely, when Nie Feng was still dazed, pieces of information that came from the mark flowed into his mind, waking him from his dazed state.

It was information for what seemed like the next stages for immortals and some other things.

Just then, clarity filled his mind and Nie Feng finally knows what that odd feeling about the ascension was from the information that entered his mind.

Turns out, the immortal path still had quite a long way to go and he had only reached the edge of it.

Nie Feng felt disappointed when Heaven's Path disappeared. But when he received the knowledge for the next stages in the immortal path, he was happy his cultivation would at least continue.

Afterward, under the pitying gaze of the immortals that watched from afar, Nie Feng left quietly with a calm face. He went back to his place and tries to assimilate the knowledge he received.

Years later, Nie Feng went out to the starry void, trying to summon the tribulation for the next major immortal stage.

After the tribulation appeared, Nie Feng undergoes the tribulation for who knows how long before he managed to breakthrough.

Entering the next stage in the immortal path.

The cleansing of his immortal being, removing the dirt from the world.

Evolving his state of existence.

A rebirth from the lightning tribulation of the world.

A Nirvana Immortal.

Right after he advances, the world's laws trembled for just a second. As if greeting the new immortal.

The pioneer.

Nie Feng also sensed a little bit of trembling from the laws and was surprised to sense that.

He could sense the laws of the world that flow throughout the whole realm, more clearly.

At the same time, he also sensed a different set of laws that flows on an enormous piece of landmass above the immortal realms, along with a powerful being's consciousness that seems to cover the whole landmass.

It was the God Realm.

And Heaven.
