The Ascension Journey of a Mortal

In the bustling heart of Saigon, the city dazzles with its duality: opulence for the affluent and desolation for the destitute. Amidst this urban chaos, a compelling saga unfolds, capturing the essence of survival, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of hope. Meet Minh, a streetwise young man with a knack for evading trouble. Despite his unassuming appearance and history of petty theft, Minh harbors a heart full of loyalty and a dream for a better life. His life is a constant chase, not just from the authorities but from his own limitations and circumstances. "Are you good at standing still?" might as well be Minh’s mantra, for his life is anything but stationary. Minh's closest confidant and moral compass is Mr. Ly, an elderly man who, despite his advanced age and destitution, possesses a wealth of wisdom. Mr. Ly has taught Minh how to read and instilled in him the value of knowledge. Their bond is not just of necessity but of mutual respect and unspoken familial ties. Minh often reflects, "I often suspect that you are a person from another world who has come here!" This suspicion is more admiration, highlighting the stark contrast between their lives and Mr. Ly's enigmatic presence. The narrative takes a mystical turn when Minh's encounters introduce him to a realm of fantastical possibilities. The tales Mr. Ly used to tell about different kinds of spiritual bodies and their abilitiessome blessed by gods to control elements like Wind and Lightning start to feel less like stories and more like hidden truths about the world Minh inhabits. This revelation begins when he meets Luu Tich Quan, a formidable woman bound by family pride and mysterious powers. Their interaction is a dance of power and secrecy, each with their own past and future to protect. Minh's struggle intensifies as he grapples with his own latent abilities and the harsh realities of the mystical world he is slowly drawn into. "Your problem is that the bitter sea recovers too quickly, it is difficult to expand, you can only rely on external support to explore," Luu Tich Quan tells Minh, hinting at the untapped potential within him and the monumental challenges he faces. His body, described as the Longevity Body, suggests he is destined for greatness but also curses him with perpetual struggle. The stakes rise as Minh becomes entangled with the powerful Luu family, known for their mastery over ancient techniques and ruthless ambition. The conflict with the Luu family is not just physical but deeply ideological, testing Minh's principles and his resolve to protect those he loves, like little Vi, who represents his hope and future. In a particularly gripping scene, Minh faces off with Luu Toan, a proud member of the Luu family. The tension is palpable, with Luu Toan underestimating Minh's tenacity. "I really don't want to offend you, I'm just forced to," Minh says, encapsulating his reluctant heroism. This moment marks the beginning of Minh’s transformation from a street survivor to a significant player in the unfolding mystical war. The narrative's climax is both a physical and spiritual battle. Minh’s journey through ancient relics, facing mythical beasts, and deciphering cryptic prophecies leads him to a profound understanding of his purpose. The encounters with other powerful entities, like Doc Co Minh and the enigmatic Nether Demon Master, push Minh to his limits, forcing him to harness his true potential. “Don't worry, I can never die,” Minh declares, embodying the resilience that defines his character. This statement is not just bravado but a testament to his undying spirit, foreshadowing his crucial role in the larger cosmic struggle. Can Minh fully realize his potential and face the harsh challenges that lie ahead? Where will this journey take him, and what secrets will be revealed in the battle between good and evil? Stay tuned to uncover the surprises and wonders still hidden within "[The Ascension Journey of a Mortal]".

Chapter 26: The Long Sigh of Immobility

Boom! Real Palace was split in half!

In the smoke and flames, a tall figure appeared, curly hair fluttering in the wind, and a fierce face like that of a ferocious god in the wild.

He is Real Estate, the peerless King Minh of ancient times, who, even if he was not a World Lord, made the entire six worlds tremble at the mention of his name.

- Diem La, although I am a recluse, I am not someone who can be bullied!

- Huh!

Doc Co Minh took out a gourd of Overlord Sacrificing Blood wine, brought it to his mouth, and took a big sip. This is the strongest wine in the three worlds, not that the Great Emperor cannot drink it, otherwise his whole body will turn into ash.

After the heat rose and his heart began to burn, he poured all the remaining wine on his head and shouted loudly towards Real Estate:

- Real Estate, what right do you have to question me? You are just a deserter who escaped into battle. When the demon world needed you the most, you said you wanted to go into hiding. People like you deserve to be killed!

As he finished speaking, he threw himself into the air, karmic fire broke out and spread throughout heaven and earth, the Fire Flame knife slashed hard on Real Estate's head.

- Tula behead!

This attack, Doc Co Minh, used up all his strength. He is the weakest King Minh, not to mention that a snap of his fingers is enough to kill him. If I don't put in all my effort now, I'm afraid it won't last much longer.

- Diem La, what's the matter? Slow down!

- Real Estate, Diem La, he can't control himself, don't blame him...

The other Minh Kings did not participate in the battle but stood from afar to advise.

But Doc Co Minh did not want to stop, his sword stance became even more fierce, as if he had to cut Do Dong in half to feel satisfied.

Choang!

- Huh?

Doc Co Minh was extremely stunned when he saw that a knife with all his strength was caught by Real Estate with his bare hands, completely stopping three inches in front of his head, no matter how hard he tried, he could not advance an inch further.

Use your flesh and blood to resist the Emperor Treasure! If you don't see it with your own eyes, everyone will think that this is just a myth.

- Diem La! If you still act, don't blame me for being cruel, making the Ten Great Kings from now on forever be missing one person!

The cold voice of Real Estate echoed throughout heaven and earth, causing the sentient beings of the Underworld to panic. Until now, Real Estate has always said you can do it, even if you are the Demon Master of Netherworld, if you don't please him, he will still dare to kill you.

Doc Co Minh's face was pale. Although he was a little shy, he still refused to retract his knife and continued to slash Vi Danh.

This knife carries a lifelong understanding of the great path of Diem La, the path he started cultivating from low to high, from a small ghost soul after ten thousand years of reaching the top to become Minh Vuong looking down on sentient beings.

- This is your Tao? If your Tao is only like that, how can it hurt me?

Bo Dong's voice was deep, without blocking the knife, he raised his face to the sky and roared, exploding all the cultivation level and great path in his body, the terrifying aura seemed to want to crush the whole world.

Even though he had the peak of the Great Emperor's cultivation, Doc Co Minh was unable to resist and was directly sent flying ten thousand feet away by his pressure.

In the distance, Thao Thiet swallowed a mouthful of saliva:

- This time, that bastard is definitely dead. In the past, Real Estate had never fought another Minh Vuong. Now that I've tried fighting him once in my dream, sure enough, no one at the same level can beat him.

In the ruins of a mansion, Doc Co Minh had just stood up when he saw Bat Dong appear right in front of him like a ghost, and at the same time all the spiritual power in his body was also blocked resistance, feeling numb.

- Ba Thien Sat, taboo magical powers?

Doc Co Minh was extremely scared. This is the magic power that helps you approach the opponent the fastest, then completely block the opponent in a few breaths, making the opponent only able to watch you kill.

- Tue Nguyet slashing is also reluctantly considered a taboo divine power! If you practice for another ten thousand years, the path of time will become great and you will be able to hurt me, but right now it's not enough...

After Do Dong used Ba Thien Sat, he did not kill him but just wanted to let him know the gap in strength between the two.

- What exactly is the taboo magical power caused by?

Doc Co Minh stood up, Real Estate was too terrifying, not an existence that could be disrespected. It should be known that he once fought a day and a night with the Immortal Lord and still retreated safely, which is enough to see his terrifying strength.

To Doc Co Minh's question, Real Estate did not hesitate to answer:

- Taboo is a type of enlightenment, independent of realm. Ordinary monks are forever untouchable. Only by experiencing it yourself, searching for this kind of enlightenment, and sympathizing with it, can you understand the taboo. For example, even if I impart Ba Thien Sat to you now, you still cannot use it. Ba Thien Sat contains my desire to seek enlightenment, simulating the image of me tenaciously pursuing the goal of reaching the summit on the path of cultivation. As long as that "Peak" exists, we will quickly approach and climb it.

- Enlightenment?

Doc Co Minh took a deep breath. Finally, understand why this mysterious realm exists. Without truly experiencing and integrating into the ancient era, you will never be able to learn Ba Thien Sat. Only by meeting the remnants of the souls and thoughts of the powerful men of the six realms, and using their will to practice, can one grasp the hidden meaning of the taboo.

- If Ba Thien Sat contains your eternal desire to move forward, why do you want to leave the demon world?

Suddenly Doc Co Minh asked a question that stunned Real Estate.

- Tu Ha Thien Ton is a human. With her cultivation, she can roam heaven and earth, no one can save her. But for the sake of the human world, she accepted to sacrifice herself to save their lives. She considered it glorious and worthy. What do you rely on to use her as a reason to give up? You are not worthy!

Doc Co Minh's cold voice rang out. He punched Real Estate in the chest, sending him flying straight back and hitting a mountain range. Seeing this mountain range shatter, those who were observing the two sides fighting could not help but panic.

- Oh my god, Diem La, he injured Real Estate!

Mong Tieu Pham was surprised.

Sat Tieu Thien also expressed disbelief.

Thao Thiet looked at Doc Co Minh's figure rushing high into the sky, muttering:

- He really is too similar to that guy, from his temperament to his actions... Could it be that after hundreds of thousands of years, can we finally see such a character reappearing in the world?

Doc Co Minh rushed into the sky, his fists contracted, and continued to hit the place where Real Estate was trying to get up.

- Even though I'm not as good as you, I still understand a truth: I was born a demon, and I die a demon. If one day the demon world is destroyed and you cannot come out, will you be able to happily live alone?

Another punch knocked Real Estate down. Doc Co Minh immediately grabbed his collar and continued to strike.

Finally, when Real Estate spat out a mouthful of blood, the Demon Master from the Netherworld Demon Palace could no longer bear it anymore, the sound spread throughout the Underworld:

- Diem La, that's my brother!

- Don't say it's your brother, if you dare to run away from battle, I'll fight you too!

Concubine Sacrificing Blood Liquor caused fire to rise above Doc Co Minh's head. He no longer knew what to fear, took the Fire Flame knife, and threw it straight towards the U Minh ghost palace.

- Sassy!

Demonic energy from the U Minh ghost palace filled heaven and earth, a black hand reached out from the ghost palace as if to suppress Doc Co Minh.

Thao Thiet trembled in fear:

- It's gone, that Demon Master was transformed by U Minh's lingering thoughts, it's not an illusion! You dare to beat his brother and even throw a knife at the U Minh ghost palace, you are truly as brave as the sky!

If the pressure radiating from Real Estate before was like hundreds of thousands of pounds of profound iron pressing down on Doc Co Minh's body, then the ghost master's hand would be ten times more terrifying. Once it hit, even King Minh would be stunned scattered, forever lost in heaven and earth.

- Kill!

Doc Co Minh faced life and death without fear, but as if going crazy, his messy hair swung his fist into the air, wanting to confront the Demon Master.

- I'm really dead, the ghost master's remaining thoughts no longer have any sanity, he won't show any mercy...

The moment Doc Co Minh's fist was about to touch the Demon Master's hand, a heavy sigh rang out, the Demon Master's hand disintegrated, and the illusory secret realm also gradually disappeared, revealing the palace that had been destroyed rot in ancient ruins.

Mong Tieu Pham woke up and looked in panic at the illusory figure of a curly-haired man with his back turned to them, his hands clasped behind him. His back was straight, like an eternal heaven and earth that could never fall.

- Remnants of Immortal King Minh!

Sat Tieu Thien was silent, then looked at Doc Co Minh who was also gradually waking up. In this battle for inheritance, he revealed his arrogant personality and refused to accept defeat before the gods and demons of heaven and earth, making Sat Tieu Thien and Mong Tieu Pham shaken.

But what made both of their eyes fall out was that as soon as he woke up, he ran with his legs up his neck, performing countless times with the hidden technique. But in the end, in the real world, he was still just a little monk named Qi Condensation, thirty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine feet tall, and was quickly grabbed by the collar of Thao Thiet and carried around like a chicken.

- Minh Vuong, why are you running so fast?

Thao Thiet laughed, his face turned black, and then his right leg swung up and down, causing Doc Co Minh to scream majestically, his cry of pain echoing through the sky.

- Are you very majestic? Dare to even attack Minh Vuong and even throw his knife back to U Minh ghost palace. Do you really think you are the Great Emperor?

While kicking him frantically, Thao Thiet questioned him.

Witnessing this scene, Luu Tich Quan wanted to cry but couldn't help but laugh as well, realizing that this bastard must have just done something bad in the secret world.

Mong Tieu Pham turned around but could not find Hua Do.

Finally, the illusory image of Immovable Minh Vuong sighed, still not turning his back:

- That person was so attached to lust that he abandoned his body and used his remaining soul to enter the illusory world I created, accepting eternal damnation!

A naturally arrogant person with the potential to become a powerhouse of the enforced tribulation died just like that, destroyed by his own desires.
