Chapter 3609 Departure, Conquest of the Tianhong Universe!

Beneath the sacred tree that protects the nation.

Shen Changqing finished the tea in his cup and then placed the empty cup on the tea table.

Just as Wu Shu, who was serving the tea, was about to refill it, Shen Changqing raised his hand to stop him.

"No need. I've been living a leisurely life for nearly a century; it's time for me to get moving!"

"Is Your Majesty planning to take action against Tianhong Universe?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Shu's expression faltered slightly.

During this period, he basically served Shen Changqing.

The latter not only shared some of his experiences in the upper realm, but also did not hide anything about the Tianhong Universe.

Shen Changqing nodded: "If the Tianhong Universe issue is not resolved, it will always be a hidden danger."

Now that the nine Heavenly Venerables of that universe have perished, only the Lonely Great Heavenly Venerable remains, who is not worth mentioning.

Furthermore, if we could swallow up a third-order universe, perhaps the myriad universes would also have a chance to advance—”

Speaking of it.

He looked up at the vast emptiness of the heavens, where the Heavenly Dao resided.

Since the advancement of the myriad universes, Shen Changqing has felt that his connection with the myriad universes seems to have become increasingly close.

Precisely.

It is the natural order of Heaven that has instinctively shown kindness to itself.

Under these circumstances, Shen Changqing felt that the suppression from the rules and order had inexplicably lessened considerably.

This is the case.

Shen Changqing had also asked Ji Yang about it.

According to the latter, those who have made great contributions to the Way of Heaven can be favored by the Way of Heaven.

Some even use such methods to merge with the Dao, transforming themselves into a universe and thus gaining immense power.

But do it.

There are advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that one can ascend to the heavens in one step, and even in a first-order universe, one can have power comparable to a half-saint.

As for the downsides, those are quite obvious.

One is completely bound to a universe; if the universe is destroyed, one will surely perish as well.

Also.

Only when one stays in the universe can one truly use the power of the Heavenly Dao; if one leaves the universe, one will instantly revert to one's original form.

And that’s it.

Once one merges with the Dao, cultivation becomes meaningless.

Only by advancing in the universe can one's own strength be improved; daily cultivation makes it difficult to make any progress.

It can be said.

Once one merges with the Dao, one becomes equivalent to the Dao of a universe.

If other cultivators who have no hope of breaking through to the semi-saint realm could achieve the Dao, that would naturally be a good thing.

After all, even with its many drawbacks, it is difficult to change the fact that once one merges with the Dao, one can almost attain immortality.

What's more.

Even the weakest first-order universe is comparable to a half-saint in strength.

For ordinary cultivators to achieve Dao integration, it is naturally considered a meteoric rise to power.

Unfortunately.

Shen Changqing had no opinion on this.

In his view, merging oneself with the Dao is equivalent to putting a shackle on oneself.

If one's own aptitude is poor and one's comprehension is extremely low, then Shen Changqing might consider it.

But for him, breaking through to the semi-saint realm was not a problem at all, and even reaching the saint realm or the great saint realm was something Shen Changqing was confident of.

This way.

How could he ruin his future to do something that would lead him to enlightenment?

but--

After learning about the matter of merging with the Dao, Shen Changqing had some doubts about whether the person in Tianhong Universe had actually reached this point.

But we'll only know the specifics after actually seeing it.

Normally.

The probability of the other party achieving enlightenment through physical union is not high.

After all, in order to unite oneself with the Dao, one must have made great contributions to the Dao.

Even someone like Shen Changqing, who propelled the universe's advancement and received the favor of the Heavenly Dao, is still far from achieving true integration with the Dao.

visible.

To achieve harmony with the Tao is not something everyone can do.

now.

As Shen Changqing finished speaking, his figure vanished without a trace, leaving only a tree and a person standing in the vast courtyard.

The jujube tree swayed in the wind, its branches already laden with fruit.

……

A message.

Originating from the Heavenly Sect, it spread throughout all the heavens and myriad races in an instant.

The worlds of yin and yang.

All factions were aware of this matter.

For a while.

All peoples were shaken.

"Attack the Tianhong Universe!"

"This is an immense opportunity for us, and our clan must not miss it!"

"My path to becoming an ancient immortal may very well begin today!!!"

Many racial forces have mobilized their cultivators in large numbers, and even ancient immortal kings are visibly excited.

Tianhong Universe!

A powerful being who has advanced to the third rank.

It's easy to imagine just how many resources such a universe contains.

After all, the universe has only advanced to the second level, yet many rare and precious materials have been born.

In just one hundred years.

There are many opportunities for the heavens to be born.

Many cultivators have obtained some of these opportunities, thus stepping into the Great Power Realm, or even breaking through to the Immortal King Realm.

If the advancement from a second-order universe is already like this, one can only imagine the resources of a third-order universe.

Of course.

A powerful universe is often accompanied by risks.

The strength of a third-order universe is undoubtedly greater than that of most second-order universes.

but--

There are exceptions, though.

The universe is not an ordinary second-order universe.

From the moment the Evergreen Immortal Emperor returned, the heavens and the universe could no longer be measured by ordinary standards.

a hundred years ago.

Tianhong Universe launched a massive invasion.

All nine Heavenly Venerables perished.

Almost the entire army was wiped out.

This alone is enough to demonstrate the power of the universe.

To be precise, it was the power of that Evergreen Immortal Emperor.

Normally, such a force would be enough to wipe out many second-order universes.

But a pity.

The enemy suffered heavy losses throughout the universe, almost resulting in total annihilation.

Many powerful figures across the heavens now know quite a bit about the affairs of the Tianhong Universe.

After all, with so many cultivators attacking the heavens, there will always be a portion of them falling into the hands of the myriad races.

Shen Changqing was able to search the soul of Immortal Emperor Yuezhi, and other cultivators could do the same.

However, people of different social statuses have different access to information.

At least they already have a thorough understanding of the Tianhong Universe on the surface.

The Nine Heavenly Venerables.

He is basically the strongest in the Tianhong Universe.

Above the Nine Celestial Venerables, there is only one mysterious Grand Celestial Venerable in charge.

Although the other cultivators were not clear about the strength of that Great Celestial Venerable, they believed that he might not be a match for that Evergreen Immortal Emperor.

Without the threat of that Great Celestial Venerable, and with many elites of the Tianhong Universe perishing and being lost in the myriad universes.

That third-order universe has become significantly less threatening.

A war is truly inevitable.

The chances of victory for all the universes are not small.

certainly--

As for risks, there are certainly some.

But the problem is, who would refuse an opportunity that comes with such a small risk?

These third-order universes contain abundant resources. If one can obtain even a portion of them, one may have a chance to step into the realm of ancient immortals and rank among the pinnacle of all heavens.

and so.

When this news spread, all the races in the heavens were mobilized, summoning almost all of their powerful elites.

Its purpose, of course, is for the upcoming battle.

……

one year later.

Above the ancient continent.

A gathering of strong people.

Countless warships and celestial vessels appeared in the void.

In the Eternal Immortal Court, the Heavenly Emperor Gu Ling is the head, and four of the Five Emperors are prominently listed.

Following the Four Emperors were numerous Immortal Venerables, Star Lords, and Divine Generals, with the entire army totaling a full thirty million.

But outside of the Eternal Celestial Court.

Tianzong.

Ancient Sacred Land.

The Imperial Divine Clan!

Yin-Yang Sacred Land

The top forces in both the Yin and Yang realms have also exhausted almost all their resources at this moment.

When the cultivators of the other races saw such a power, they were all greatly shocked.

"The Eternal Immortal Court has an army of thirty million, and every single one of them is at least at the Golden Immortal realm. What a grand gesture!"

Many powerful figures took a deep breath and looked at the Eternal Immortal Court with eyes full of shock.

now.

The cultivation realms of all the heavens and universes have been redefined, and there is no difference between them and the upper realms.

The so-called Golden Immortal.

Millions of years ago, that would have been comparable to a god.

What is a deity?

Those were the powerful beings who once stood at the pinnacle of all the heavens.

At that time, it was questionable whether there could even be a thousand officially recognized deities among all the myriad races in the heavens.

Now let's look at the present.

The Eternal Immortal Court alone produced thirty million Golden Immortals comparable to God Lords.

This would have been unimaginable ten million years ago.

Furthermore, it should be clear that the weakest among the 30 million troops is a Golden Immortal, but in reality, there are quite a few cultivators among them who can step into the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, or even reach the level of a great power.

more than this.

It is possible to reach the realm of Immortal King.

To put it bluntly.

Such a force, even without considering other powerful beings who broke through to the Ancient Immortal realm, was enough to sweep across the heavens ten million years ago.

among them.

This includes the Taixu Realm Divine Palace.

this--

That is the foundation of the Eternal Immortal Court.

It can be said.

For the heavens, the changes over these ten million years must have been astonishing.

of course.

Besides the Eternal Immortal Court, the forces mobilized by the Heavenly Sect, the Primordial Holy Land, and other powers were also astonishing.

In particular, the aura emanating from the leading ancient immortals, such as Yu Ren, was so overwhelming that it suppressed everything.

As for the location of the ancient sacred land.

Gu Qingyang and Gu Chen, the two successors of the Holy Lord, are both prominently listed, especially the former, who is now implicitly known as the second strongest in the heavens.

Below that Evergreen Immortal Emperor, the strongest among them is the other party.

Although Ji Yang exists, he is not a cultivator from the myriad universes, so he is not included in the count.

The forces mobilized by the remaining races, while not as terrifying as the former, should not be underestimated.

The cultivators from all factions gathered together, totaling a staggering 30 billion.

The mere aura emanating from numerous cultivators was enough to suppress the boundless void and cause all living beings on the ancient continent to feel trembling.

at this time.

The void rippled slightly, and a figure in green robes appeared out of nowhere.

The moment the other party appeared, all the cultivators of all races greeted him with utmost respect.

"Greetings, Immortal Emperor Changqing!"

The sound shook the starry sky, causing the stars to sway.

Shen Changqing nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators of all races in the heavens.

finally.

He withdrew his gaze, took a step forward, and beneath his feet, a vast river opened up a spatial passage.

"set off!"

"Conquer the Tianhong Universe!" (End of Chapter)
