Chapter 1193: Fundamentally in the Immortal Capital
It was a most holy occasion during the Immortal Capital’s Trial of the Hunt! It was a moment that countless cultivators dreamed of. Countless living beings would witness the moment in which the qualified participants ascended to the Immortal Capital!
Xu Qing was in the brightest beam of light that advanced ever upward. Behind him, ninety-nine beams of light rose from the four planetary systems, all of them bearing cultivators who were going to the Immortal Capital.
As of this moment, they were the center of all attention in the four planetary systems. As of this moment, they were entirely worthy of being called stars. As of this moment, the four planetary systems were all peaceful and quiet as the scene played out in the canopy of heaven.
Of course, the vast majority of people could only see some of what was happening. But the truly powerful experts in the four planetary systems could see how unique the most brightly shining of the light was. As everyone watched, the people in the beams of light rose higher and higher, getting closer and closer to the aurora. And finally... they turned crimson as they entered the aurora, one after another.

There was no starry sky above the aurora. There was only a foggy haze.
Within the haze were a hundred four-sided pillars, all of them very ancient and weathered. They were terraced, so that the tallest pillar was in the very middle, with pillars stretching out almost in a triangular shape on either side, with each successive pillar shorter than the one before it. As a whole, they looked like the character for ‘person’: 人.
All of the pillars glittered with seven-colored light. They seemed to have existed for countless years, to have witnessed innumerable magnificent things, and now pulsed with infinite majesty.
The light they exuded turned into numerous prismatic beams. They dropped down below the aurora and into the four planetary systems. They became the subject of all attention there.
The light coming from the central pillar was the brightest as... Xu Qing rose through the aurora within it! He was the first of the hundred cultivators to emerge from the aurora. As the aurora flowed around him, he seemed almost like something going from the bottom of a river up to the surface of the water.
Upon breaking the surface, he saw the infinite haze, as well as the one hundred seven-colored pillars. He didn’t hesitate. He approached the pillars and alighted on the tallest of them, the one in the center.
There he stood. Turning, he looked down. The vast aurora was like a crimson sea. Inside of it, ninety-nine beams of light contained more cultivators who were ascending to their corresponding pillars.
