Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1873

"You can’t be serious!" Ren Xia exclaimed, eyes widening in shock at Tian Yang’s response.

Tian Yang simply looked at her, unfazed.

Ren Xia pressed on, "Even if you’re actually considering kidnapping someone, they’d have to be of high enough status to know the location of the Immortal Confinement Dungeon. Only elders of the Immortal Clans have access to that information!"

"How strong are the elders of the Immortal Clans?" Tian Yang then asked.

"Most of them are within the Immortal Ascension realm, but a few have already stepped into the realm of Bronze Immortals. They are not individuals you can simply kidnap and threaten," Ren Xia said, shaking her head at the absurdity of Tian Yang’s plan.

"If they’re only at the Immortal Ascension realm, then it’s doable."

Ren Xia stared at him, utterly speechless.

Immortal Ascension cultivators weren’t just powerful—they were on the cusp of true immortality, standing at the peak of the mortal world. Even among the Immortal Clans, they were revered as near-invincible figures. The idea of kidnapping one was nothing short of madness.

"You… Unbelievable..." she finally said, barely able to form the words.

But Tian Yang’s expression remained calm, composed—as if he had just stated the most ordinary thing in the world.

Then, in the next moment, Tian Yang let a sliver of his cultivation leak out. The air around him trembled, and an invisible force pressed down on the room like the weight of a mountain.

Ren Xia’s breath was caught in her throat. Her instincts screamed at her, her very soul recognizing the overwhelming presence before her.

"I-Immortal Ascension?! Impossible!" she gasped, stumbling back as she shot to her feet.

Her mind reeled. How could this be? Reaching the Immortal Ascension realm was a feat that required many millennia of effort, even for the most gifted cultivators. Yet Tian Yang, who had once been beneath her in cultivation, now stood at such a level.

"So, do you still think I won’t be able to kidnap one?" Tian Yang said a moment later.

As the realization sank in, a chill ran down Ren Xia’s spine. If Tian Yang was already at this level, then perhaps kidnapping an elder wasn’t just reckless madness.

"D-Did you really acquire Han Zexian’s legacy?" Ren Xia asked, her voice unsteady as she swallowed hard. It was the only logical explanation for his unfathomable progress.

Han Zexian—an existence shrouded in mystery, a legend whose legacy was said to contain insights and power that defied the heavens themselves. If Tian Yang had truly obtained it, then his meteoric rise in cultivation suddenly made sense.

Tian Yang stared at her for a long moment, as if weighing the decision of whether to tell her the truth.

Finally, he spoke. "No, Han Zexian’s legacy wasn’t inside that mountain."

"What? Then what was inside that mountain? And how did you reach the Immortal Ascension realm in just fifty years? You were only at the peak of Spirit King back then!"

"I cultivated… normally."

"Do you really expect me to believe that?"

Tian Yang shrugged.
