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 35: This is the one I want.

- Elder Dinh! Sister Tuyet saw with her own eyes that Vuong Luc took the initiative to attack Doc Co Minh, hoping that the elder would raise his hand and gently strike him to spare his life. Sister Tuyet will definitely repay you justice!

From the Military Zone appeared a white-clothed girl with an earthly appearance, her face as cold as ice and snow that has not melted for ten thousand years. Who else is there besides So Tuyet, Giang Tran's disciple?

Doc Co Minh smiled faintly. Looks like he guessed right. That Giang Tran must have seen him as good prey, determined not to let him die but had to wait until he failed to break through the realm of the five gods before appearing and taking him away.

- Senior So Tuyet, do you look at his appearance now as if he is sorry? If I don't kill him today, who will care about me tomorrow?

Elder Dinh gritted his teeth and stared at Doc Co Minh.

- Apologize quickly!

Sister Tuyet shouted at him.

- Sorry?

Doc Co Minh suddenly raised his head to the sky and laughed:

- I feel it's a waste for you to waste all your effort in cultivating to Dao Dai Tien Thai. Is it true that reaching a high level is just to show off in front of lower-level monks? Do you dare to block your cultivation and fight me?

- Depends on you?

Elder Dinh snorted coldly:

- This monk is two thousand years older than Giang Tran. At that time, he was a monk of Qi Condensation six thousand. Even if I block your cultivation, do you still have a chance to beat me?

- You're only good at bragging, do you really dare to block your cultivation and fight me? I guarantee I'll beat you into a pig's head, even your mother won't recognize it!

When the disciples heard him cursing so vulgarly, their faces all changed, silently thinking that this guy really didn't know how to write the word "death". No wonder it is compared to Chu Yu Empire in the past.

- Sassy! If you dare to insult Elder Dinh, not even the sect leader can save you!

Sister Tuyet was extremely angry. She came here under Giang Tran's orders. She thought that Doc Co Minh would go into the water because she was afraid of Elder Dinh. But she didn't expect that this crazy guy wouldn't know good or bad and would dare to provoke Elder Dinh, putting her in a difficult situation treat.

It should be known that Elder Dinh is one of the longest-standing Perfect Nascent Soul powerhouses in the Nine Aquatic Sect. Even Giang Tran in the past had to respectfully call him Master Dinh. Although he was known to often attack without regard to his background or cultivation level being higher than the opponent's, as soon as he was seen as annoying, he would immediately attack and kill, but he was also respected by the disciples in the school because of his straightforward character fiercely frank.

- Okay! I will show you young man what high heaven and thick earth are. Considering your age, you are younger than me, and you are a Longevity body with strong recovery ability. But I have more combat experience than you, and I have ten thousand more meters of suffering than you, so I have a slight advantage. So it looks like we're even! I will seal your cultivation base into the Qi Condensation to kill you and make you speechless!

Seeing Elder Dinh's aura continuously decreasing, Doc Co Minh was really surprised that he dared to do that. Originally, he relied on the fact that Giang Tran was scheming him to make things difficult for him, actively provoking Elder Dinh, intending to force Giang Tran to appear to confirm his thoughts. Who would have thought that Elder Dinh would be so fierce and willing to compete with him?

- Go to the fighting area, go to the ring!

Elder Dinh snorted coldly, then clasped his hands behind his back and leisurely walked to the Fighting District. Doc Co Minh looked at him and smiled faintly then followed.

The disciples present at the merchant's office all ran after the two people. It's rare for someone to challenge the dignity of the elders, but the elders unexpectedly respond to the challenge and lower their cultivation level to fight.

Two people, one old and one young, stood on the martial arts platform. Elder Dinh clasped his hands behind his back, his demeanor as fierce as a sword raised straight to the sky. On the opposite side, Doc Co Minh's gestures were generous, his smile arrogant and confident, completely unsuppressed by his aura.

- Old man Dinh Liet, four thousand years old this year, practiced the Dao for three thousand nine hundred and eighty-seven years, cultivated Qi Condensation sixty thousand feet, comes from Tu Hu mountain, Nine Aquatic Sect. Today I accept your challenge!

Hearing that Elder Dinh did not even look down on his enemy, but still declared his identity according to the rules of the martial arts arena, the disciples could not help but admire him.

On this point, of course, Doc Co Minh also felt that he deserved respect, holding his fists in both hands and saying:

- Here at Doc Co Minh, twenty-eight years old this year, practicing for one year, the cultivation level of Qi Condensation is forty-nine thousand feet, from Hanh Hoa village, Quan Khau district, Kun Luan mountain!

The words he uttered caused a stir among the monks.

- Believe it? He said he was twenty-eight years old.

- That's a lie, he's only twenty-one years old. Obviously saying that to promote yourself!

- But even if you're twenty years old and just starting to practice, it's still very amazing, there's no denying it!

The most appropriate age to practice the religion is from eight years old to seventeen years old. After this age, the ability to absorb spiritual energy will be reduced, and the dry and hard Qi Condensation will be difficult to expand. Even if it goes against the sky, it can only stop at a maximum of thirty thousand feet. So the fact that Doc Co Minh said she was in her twenties made it hard for everyone to believe.

He actually said his age wrong, because in his mind he always thought of himself as a young man who had lived twenty-seven years on earth, plus one more year in this world for a total of twenty-eight years. But in reality, his current body is only twenty-one years old.

- It also seems like you have some capital to be arrogant, you don't know how to withstand my moves!

Elder Dinh smiled coldly, the pressure of the sea of ​​sixty thousand feet exploded throughout the billions of martial arts arena, and behind him appeared six gods possessing up to four percent of his cultivation level.

- Quang Hoa calamity!

Following Elder Dinh's shout, the spiritual energy in the air began to condense into countless golden three-petaled flowers shining like rays of sunlight. Next, his hand grasped the seal, and the six gods behind him simultaneously followed suit, causing the fluctuations in the power of this magical power to increase threefold, and the destructive aura spread throughout the billions of arenas.

- As soon as Elder Dinh took action, he immediately used his ultimate move, clearly wanting to use all his strength to kill this guy in the shortest possible time.

Sister Tuyet was silent, she understood Elder Dinh's personality. He did not obey the leader. If there was no convincing reason, he would accept fighting to the end.

- The Patriarch must have received the news, hopefully it will arrive in time...

- Yangjiun!

Because Blood Oath is so difficult to learn, Yangjiun is the only defensive magical power that Doc Co Minh has now. It is extremely easy to use and consumes little spiritual energy. It can even absorb the opponent's attack power and then fight back.

I saw countless three-petaled flowers falling into the silver river of the galaxy and turning into bright stars, completely nullifying the Light Flower Tribulation. But Doc Co Minh's expression changed when he discovered that his Yangjiun showed signs of overload because it had to absorb too much spiritual energy from Elder Dinh.

- Taboo exercises are not impossible to break! Kid, if you keep relying on them like that, one day you will die without even closing your eyes! Break it for me!

The stars on the Milky Way river suddenly lit up and then exploded crazily, the illusion of the Milky Way river also completely shattered, the aftershock caused Doc Co Minh to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. But the Quang Hoa Tribulation did not stop and continued to strike, forcing him to continuously use Bach Bo Hong Tran to avoid it, and the sea of ​​suffering began to show signs of exhaustion.

- Humph, I can't even stand a single blow, I'm such a waste. If that's the case, then submit your life!

Elder Dinh and the six nobles fought again, the number of three-petaled flowers increased several times, in the blink of an eye they almost covered the space inside the billion ring, Doc Co Minh was also buried in it.

- Is it over?

The monks were stunned, wondering if this battle was too fast. Could it be that the person who once caused chaos in the Netherworld secret, making two thousand arrogant people hold grudges?

- Not good, even if you offend Elder Dinh, you must save him!

Right at the moment when So Tuyet pulled out her Ice Heart sword and was about to rush onto the ring, from the position where Doc Co Minh was covered by the Quang Hoa Tribulation, a fierce dragon roar suddenly appeared.

A black dragon nearly a hundred feet long appeared from nowhere and tore through Quang Hoa Trieu and rushed straight to Elder Dinh's position.

- What magic power is this?

Elder Dinh was frightened when he saw that the Quang Hoa calamity that he had always been proud of was destroyed so easily and that the black dragon contained a kind of destructive power as if it wanted to crush everything, roaring and doing it all. The martial arts platform shook then tightened the space around him.

From the pile of dead flowers that had just been broken by the black dragon, Doc Co Minh stood up, threw himself into the air, pointed his finger at Elder Dinh, and shouted loudly:

- Phong Vi Son!

This is him using two types of magical powers: Ho Phong and Hoa Sinh stacked on top of each other. Because they share the same wind attribute, the effect is amazing. I saw the black dragon roaring and turning into a huge mountain, sealing Elder Dinh and the six gods inside. Even though he used every means to attack, he still couldn't break this seal, so he could only look at the six. In order to protect himself, the god was bitten by the black dragon inside the mountain, breaking into pieces one after another.

- I didn't expect Elder Dinh to lose...

- That Doc Co Minh didn't stop, did he want to kill Elder Dinh?

Doc Co Minh is not such an unreasonable person. Elder Dinh has agreed to lower his cultivation base to fight with him. He will definitely not use the killing blow at the last minute. But really, even if he tried, he wouldn't be able to kill him. At any time, he could break the seal and use his Nascent Soul realm cultivation to suffocate him. In that case, Doc Co Minh wanted to make a bet to see what kind of person this elder was.

The black dragon shattered, and the mountain that was sealing Elder Dinh also faded, revealing his figure standing with his hands behind his back, coldly looking at Doc Co Minh.

- Why not land the killer blow?

Doc Co Minh smiled and held her fist, her back still straight:

- Senior dares to happily fight with me at the same level, I can't admire him enough, why do I have to kill him?

- Is that really what you think?

Elder Dinh looked closely at him from head to toe, and finally, to the surprise of the disciples below, he waved his sleeve, and a stream of spiritual energy exposed the address belonging to Nascent Soul monks to appear and wrap around him. Doc Co Minh, no matter how much he struggled, he could not escape. Next, Elder Dinh pulled him closer, held his wrist tightly, and flew straight out of Pham Tu Hu mountain.

- I want this person! Go and tell Sect Master Giang so!
