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 6: U Minh Prohibited Area

On a mountain far away, a young man about twenty-six years old was sitting with his eyes closed, drinking, and on the right side was a Black Tiger lying prostrate.

Suddenly the young man opened his eyes, his expression was extremely fierce, and he roared loudly, causing all the animals on the mountain to panic.

- Luu Tich Quan, did you kill my younger brother?

At this moment, two people ran up and reported:

- Young master, the squad led by Master Luu Toan is all dead. Someone saw the Medicine Body carrying Luu Tich Quan running out from that direction. The Medicine Body was covered in fresh blood, perhaps he poisoned Master Luu Toan!

The young man regained his composure:

- Isn't he a mortal? Is there any reason to kill Luu Quan and her group? Are you sure Luu Tich Quan did not use magic talismans?

The other two respectfully replied:

- Luu Tich Quan certainly hasn't used it!

- Just a magic talisman can make so many people wary!

The young man smiled coldly:

- Her father was more powerful than my father and Luu Binh, but he went to Trung Tho and disappeared for fifteen years, even his destiny was broken. Even so, he left behind an incomparably strong magic talisman to protect his daughter's life, even my father did not dare to directly oppose it, and even carefully instructed her to use it... Quick, send more people to chase after her kill them! Absolutely do not let Nine Turns Heavily Technique fall into the hands of Luu Binh. We must also bring that medicinal body back. Refining his flesh and blood can help me break through the Dao Ancestor realm.

Not only Luu Hong wanted to capture Doc Co Minh, but so did Luu Binh.

Luu Binh has a thin figure, has an elegant appearance like a scholar, and holds a paper fan in his hand. Looking at him so weak and sick, no one in Chu Yu Empire dared to look down on him.

Amazing talent, at the age of twelve he entered the Qi Condensation, a suppressed vein until he was seventeen years old before breaking out into the Qi Condensation, forty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine feet, shocking the world.

After he broke through the Dao Ancestor Realm and began to rampage through Chu Yu Empire, he had almost no opponents at the same level. Only a few evildoers like Luu Tich Quan, the two Holy Sons of Phong Loi, or the Tieu Y Tinh Tieu family can compare.

The technique he practiced was the original Co Vu Sutra of the Luu family. Legend has it that the Luu family was not originally from Chu Yu Empire but came from Jia Ma Empire, in the blood flowing down the ancient Vu.

The witch clan in ancient times was very powerful, their ancient demonic magic shook the world, they appeared more than a dozen generations of Great Emperors in a row, and they also had extremely terrifying corpse training techniques, sweeping across the Human World without any opponents. However, in ancient times, a mutated set of exams suddenly appeared among the corpses. This set of corpses developed spiritual wisdom, not only that, but also cultivated all the way to the Great Emperor, killed the Witch Master at that time, and refined the entire Witch Clan into the Corpse Clan. Of course, there is still a small part of the Vu clan that escaped to another continent. The Luu family has such an origin.

- Haven't you been forced to use that talisman yet?

- Sir, Luu Toan and his group were killed by the Medicine Body. From the traces of the battle, it was estimated that this person had a mid-stage Qi Condensation cultivation level, at least able to open a six thousand zhang Qi Condensation, otherwise, it would not be possible to endure so much!

A subordinate respectfully answered Luu Binh.

- Interesting!

Luu Binh just grinned and said nothing more.

- Sir, this subordinate has a question!

The other guy couldn't suppress his curiosity:

- After all, that divine talisman was left by Luu Tong fifteen years ago. Is it possible that taking the half-step of Ung Kiep cultivation level from the old man is still taboo?

Luu Binh shook his head and sighed:

- Luu Tich Quan's father is a peerless genius from the younger generation, his strength you cannot imagine. If it weren't for wanting to travel around the world to find a magical elixir to help Luu Tich Quan overcome the life and death tribulation of Nine Turns Heavily Technique, perhaps he would have become the number one powerhouse in the Chu Yu Empire by now.

Luu Tong!

This is a legendary name in previous generations.

Over the past thousand years, there have been countless heroes and heroes in Chu Yu Empire, but if we say who left the biggest impression, it would certainly only be Luu Tong.

Defeat Saint Master Phong Loi. The pressure is "One holy land, three sects, five sects, four great masters". There were even rumors that the powerful man from the mysterious East Sea was also killed by him.

Nine Turns Heavily Technique was brought back by Luu Tong from an ancient forbidden land and given to Luu Tich Quan to practice.

- Nine Turns HeavilyTechnique, each time the magic power is successfully reversed increases exponentially, beyond the heavens. However, it's just chicken tendons, nine reversals, nine births and deaths. Once you practice, you can never stop. Even if all the world's holy medicine were gathered together, would it be enough to help someone who practices against the heavens become an immortal?

Luu Binh lamented.

As humans, we all have greed, but we must know what to be greedy for.

Luu Tich Hoa's first reversal was spent going to Latinan, Luu Tong had to pay a terrible price to get it back from Phong Loi holy land.

In the second reversal, Luu Tong went to Dong Hai to bring back That Thai Tien Dan, also a legendary medicinal pill, for her to drink.

Now for the third time, it is the Longevity Body that must personally perform the dharma formation to help Luu Tich Quan absorb all the life of the Longevity Body in one year to overcome the tribulation.

What about the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth?

Where does the magical elixir come from?

Even if Luu Binh dies, he doesn't want to get stuck in this mud.

- Continue sending people to force her to use magic talismans! If you succeed, find a way to get the Nine Turns Heavily Technique for me. Even if I can't cultivate, I still have to use it to trap a few people...

The night sky is quiet and quiet, with only a few stars shining down on the world as if guiding lost souls.

Doc Co Minh sat cross-legged practicing. Today he has expanded the ocean to nine hundred and ninety-nine feet, but is still blocked at the last step, unable to cross it.

Luu Tich Quan explained to him that number nine is always the most difficult column one to overcome. There is a large wall there that can only be broken through slowly with time.

- I was still too impatient, I thought I would become a strong person in one day!

Doc Co Minh sighed deeply.

- The avenue is long, sometimes tens of thousands of years will pass in the blink of an eye. It's amazing how fast you can do it!

Luu Tich Quan looked up at the jet-black sky, his eyes sparkling as if he had not yet confided.

- Are you thinking about senior Luu Tong?

On the way to find a place to hide, the relationship between the two sides began to improve. Luu Tich Quan explained in detail the current situation of the Luu family. When talking about her father, she had very special feelings, both extremely proud, but also remorseful.

- If I hadn't secretly practiced Nine Turns Heavenly Technique, father wouldn't have needed to risk his life to find the magical elixir...

Luu Tich Quan said sadly. After all, she is just a girl. Although she is usually arrogant and cold, she will also have moments of weakness.

Doc Co Minh pondered and patted her shoulder.

- What do you want to do? Don't think that I'm close to you when I tell you these things!

Luu Tich Quan coldly pushed his hand away.

Doc Co Minh looked reluctant:

- I just want to comfort you... Actually, I really admire you, having such a great father. I also wish to have a father and mother to remember, but I will never be able to!

No one is born with the right to choose their own background.

From a young age, he was an orphan and had to beg on the streets. At the age of five, he knew how to steal. One time he stole a dumpling and was beaten to death. But then there was a woman who paid him, she also brought along a child about his age, also holding a dumpling in his hand.

Every time he recalls that image, he cannot control his desire to have a father, a mother, and someone to protect him.

- You're in tears!

Luu Tich Quan suddenly said.

- Nonsense!

Doc Co Minh laughed loudly and stood up, clasping his hands behind his back, looking up at the lonely night sky above.

Looking at his stubborn appearance, Luu Tich Quan couldn't help but smile. She said in a low voice:

- We can actually become friends.

- Then pass on to me the Nine Turns Heavily Technique!

Doc Co Minh immediately put on a shameless face, causing all of Luu Tich Quan's newly arising feelings to disappear.

She was silent for a long moment then said:

- Nine months left, you need to quickly cultivate to the peak of the Qi Condensation. Otherwise, the magic formation on your body will drain your vitality.

- What?

Doc Co Minh was shocked and shocked. Currently, even though Luu Tich Quan's vitality was continuously sucked from him, he felt that it was not worth it, and even the vitality he lost was quickly compensated for.

Luu Tich Quan was silent:

- This is an ancient dharma formation that cannot be resolved. When my fate is stable again, the dharma formation will automatically disappear.

Through previous conversations, Doc Co Minh understood that it was possible to break through the Qi Condensation in one year. But such an early breakthrough will definitely not expand too much, and will only be an ordinary monk. He cannot accept this.

- Or if you find a magical elixir to help me, you can solve everything.

- Are you kidding me? Your father can't even do such a great thing. Depend on me, will you find a way to die?

At that moment, in the North, there was suddenly an earth-shattering explosion. A column of purple light several thousand feet wide shot straight into the sky. A cold aura like the depths of hell exploded, leaving everyone cold.

- U Minh forbidden area has a strange phenomenon!

Luu Tich Quan calmly said:

- Every 10,000 years, the Nether Forbidden Land will truly open, allowing all the monks under Immortal to enter to search for inheritance. According to legend, the forbidden land of U Minh has appeared a total of one hundred and forty-seven times but no one has succeeded.

- Well, I don't care. Right now, I'm just a small early-stage Qi Condensation monk, I am going there to die?

Doc Co Minh shook his head vigorously. If he's not sure, he absolutely won't do it.

- Are you really not going?

- No, don't kill me!

Luu Tich Quan's eyes suddenly emitted a strange light:

- Rumor has it that there is a Bi Ngan flower containing the power of reincarnation. Once used, it can be trained into a pair of Samsara Divine Eyes, with unparalleled power.

- My eyes can be used, no need to change to another pair...

Doc Co Minh dismissed it.

Luu Tich Quan still persisted:

- I want you to go because if you have the opportunity to find the legendary Purple U stone and heal my injuries, you will quickly regain your freedom.

This time Doc Co Minh was really confused. He didn't want to have his life sucked to death by Luu Tich Quan, and he didn't want to be forced to break through the Qi Condensation early.

- Okay! But you must teach me Nine Turns Heavenly Technique, otherwise, there are countless heroes there, what will I have to protect myself.

- Do you really want to learn? This technique is poison, even if thrown out into the world, not many people would dare to practice it!

But then Luu Tich Quan remembered that Doc Minh was the Longevity Body, with immense vitality. Perhaps he can easily overcome life and death without needing the magical. If the Longevity Body grows strong, it can definitely help her overcome future lives and deaths. But this guy has an extravagant nature, not afraid of heaven or earth, so we have to find some way to trap him into depending on us.

- Of course, I want to practice!

Doc Co Minh secretly planned to try it out a bit, and if it didn't work out, he would stop immediately. Completely unaware that Nine Turns Heavily Technique is a road with no return, once you step on it you will never be able to stop. He thought he was smart, but in the end, he was about to fall into the biggest trap of his life.
