Chapter 3169 Strange Movements of the Immortal King's Stele
An Tian also passed the ancient immortal tribulation, which was a natural outcome.
Although the other party failed to ascend the Immortal King Stele, he can still be considered a top genius. In addition, he has cultivated in the Immortal Mansion for hundreds of years, which has further enhanced his foundation.
This way.
Breaking through the Ancient Immortal Realm is naturally not difficult at all.
If the other party is someone who has undergone an ancient immortal tribulation, then so be it.
but.
Although An Tianyi is strong.
However, it falls short of attracting an ancient calamity.
……
Mysterious Immortal Abode.
Shen Changqing looked at the respectful An Tianyi in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, a stream of light fell into the other's sea of consciousness.
"Your talent in array formations is exceptional. I happen to have some knowledge of the mysteries of array formations, so I will pass it on to you today!"
Suddenly.
A powerful message emerged.
Even with An Tianyi's current cultivation level, it took him several days to barely digest this information.
The Immortal Scripture of Array Formation!
The legacy of a seventh-tier Grandmaster!
After figuring out this inheritance, An Tian was deeply shaken.
"Disciple thanks the Ancestral Master for imparting the Dao!"
He immediately bowed and knelt down, his face full of gratitude.
How could An Tian not know the value of a seventh-tier Grandmaster's inheritance of array techniques?
Even though Zhenfeng is one of the Nine Peaks, it does not have a lineage of this level.
Seventh level!
It represents the level of a Celestial Emperor!
An Tianyi also did not expect that Shen Changqing would bestow such a legacy.
However, while such inheritance was important to An Tianyi, it meant nothing to Shen Changqing.
The Dao of Formations.
It is a collection of his own array-based inheritances.
all the time.
Shen Changqing was looking for a suitable successor.
Although An Tianyi's aptitude differs from some of the most outstanding geniuses, he is quite exceptional in the art of array formations.
Therefore.
Shen Changqing then passed on the inheritance of the Array Dao Immortal Scripture to the other party.
With his talent in array formations, and having received this inheritance, he will have a certain chance to reach the level of a seventh-tier grandmaster in the future.
As for whether one can advance further after reaching that level, that depends on the individual's circumstances.
Inheritance can only be considered as an aid, not the limit for cultivators.
Since ancient times.
Many powerful individuals received guidance and instruction from their predecessors, and later comprehended profound mysteries from the great principles of heaven and earth, ultimately surpassing their teachers.
Whether An Tianyi can surpass his master is unknown to Shen Changqing, but among the many disciples of Xuantian Dao Sect at present, it is estimated that no one can compare to him in terms of array formation talent.
and so.
Shen Changqing then passed down the Immortal Scripture of Array Dao.
……
After leaving the Xuan-rank Immortal Mansion, An Tian returned to his own Huang-rank Immortal Mansion. He pondered the profound mysteries of the Array Dao Immortal Scripture in his mind, his face filled with shock.
"As expected of a seventh-tier inheritance, it is truly profound and unparalleled—"
As a prodigy of the Array Peak, An Tian is only one step away from breaking through to the sixth-level Grandmaster in the field of array formations, so his understanding of array formations is also quite strong.
With his current perspective, when he tries to comprehend the Array Dao Immortal Scripture, he feels that the latter is like a vast ocean, and he himself is like a small boat on the ocean. To truly understand its mysteries is not something that can be done overnight.
In this regard.
An Tian temporarily put aside his comprehension of the Dao Immortal Scripture and instead focused on consolidating his newly broken-through realm and attempting to advance further in the Ancient Immortal Realm.
Ancient Wonderland!
Create a 108-directional Primordial Chaos World!
For cultivators at this level, it's not just about finding that one opportunity to open up a primordial world, but also about using massive resources to expand the foundation of the already opened primordial world, thereby reaching its limit.
In other places, to truly cultivate a primordial world to its limit would naturally require a great deal of resources and a considerable amount of time.
But it's different here.
The immortal abode of the Yellow Rank is filled with astonishing immortal energy, completely incomparable to other places.
If the concentration of immortal energy in ordinary places in the Divine Sun Domain already far surpasses that of several mountains in the Divine Heaven Domain, then the immortal energy in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City is definitely superior to that of other places in the Divine Sun Domain.
The immortal energy within the Yellow Rank Immortal Mansion is destined to be more concentrated than that in other parts of the Heavenly Dao Immortal City.
Cultivating here for a year can absorb the same amount of immortal energy as a thousand or even several thousand years in the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.
and.
A Yellow-Rank Immortal Abode yields ten high-grade immortal stones every hundred years.
Divide it up equally.
It costs about 10,000 mid-grade immortal stones a year.
This isn't breathing in immortal energy; it's clearly swallowing immortal stones whole.
An Tian would never miss such a rare and extraordinary opportunity.
He had suppressed his cultivation for hundreds of years in order to seize the opportunity presented by the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele, but looking back now, it was a complete waste.
Should have known so.
It would be better to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm first.
Given several hundred more years, An Tian also doubted that he could cultivate the first Primordial Chaos World to its limit, and even create a second Primordial Chaos World.
but--
It's not too late now.
An Tian was also aware of the fact that the ancestor had extended the lifespan of the Yellow Rank Immortal Abode by ten thousand years.
and so.
An Tianyi would certainly not waste it.
"A Yellow-Rank Immortal Abode, even after ten thousand years, would yield at least a thousand high-grade immortal stones. This opportunity could at least allow me to advance to the middle stage of Ancient Immortal, or even possibly the late stage—"
This rising star's eyes were resolute.
Thousands of high-grade immortal stones, that's a full ten million mid-grade immortal stones.
How do you stack them?
We also need to build up a mid-level Ancient Immortal!
After all, the Primordial Immortal Fruit, which allows an ancient immortal to directly create a Primordial World, is only worth a few hundred thousand mid-grade immortal stones.
and so.
Breaking through to the middle stage of Ancient Immortal was only the lower limit in An Tianyi's opinion. If possible, he wanted to step into the later stage of Ancient Immortal.
While An Tianyi was in seclusion, the other disciples who had stopped suppressing their cultivation levels also broke through one after another.
to this end.
Shen Changqing naturally stepped in to protect them.
Without exception.
All of them successfully broke through, allowing the Xuantian Dao Sect to produce a few more ancient immortals.
After the group successfully broke through, they returned to their Yellow-rank Immortal Abode to cultivate. Shen Changqing did not allow them to stay in his Profound-rank Immortal Abode.
The reason is simple.
Despite the dense immortal energy in a Xuan-level immortal abode, the amount of immortal energy in any immortal abode is actually limited.
If it were normal cultivation, Shen Changqing would also absorb a large amount of immortal energy from the immortal mansion. The remaining portion of immortal energy would then be shared among the group, naturally not comparable to a Yellow-rank immortal mansion.
Of course.
This is just normal.
If Shen Changqing were to use the Seven Profound Divine Tower to absorb the energy with a hundred times the internal time, then almost all the immortal energy in the Profound Rank Immortal Mansion would be plundered by him.
As a result, the amount of immortal energy that others can obtain while staying in the Xuan-level Immortal Mansion is also limited.
and so.
It would be best for them to return to the Yellow Rank Immortal Abode.
……
A torrent of immortal energy surged into his body, causing the universe within his sea of consciousness to tremble violently. A massive amount of immortal energy seemed to pour down from the heavens, and a universe, like a whale swallowing the ocean, frantically devoured and plundered this immortal energy.
As galaxies were created and born, the universe steadily expanded.
From the outside, one could see that all the immortal energy in the entire Xuan-level Immortal Mansion had been plundered. The extremely dense immortal energy had transformed into a hurricane vortex and gathered around the Seven Profound Divine Tower. This concentration of immortal energy had reached the point where it could turn into rain.
Every so often, when the immortal energy of the Xuan-rank Immortal Mansion is almost completely devoured, new immortal energy is born.
but.
As soon as this celestial energy appeared, it was quickly plundered by Shen Changqing.
Inside the Seven Mysterious God Tower.
Shen Changqing frantically absorbed the immortal energy, and high-grade immortal stones were arranged into an array around him to further increase the concentration of immortal energy within the divine tower space.
This terrifying immortal energy seemed to pour down like a torrential downpour, and countless vortexes of air seemed to appear around Shen Changqing, completely swallowing up the falling immortal energy rain.
Practice!
Practice with all your strength!
Faced with such astonishing immortal energy, Shen Changqing's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
Although the foundation is solid, reaching the pinnacle of each realm will inevitably require the use of massive amounts of cultivation resources.
However, thanks to the Xuan-rank Immortal Abode and the large number of high-grade immortal stones, Shen Changqing's cultivation level still improved at an astonishing speed.
……
The outside world has existed for three thousand years.
The Seven Mysterious Divine Tower has stood for 300,000 years.
Under the influence of the vast immortal energy of the Xuanjie Immortal Mansion, Shen Changqing has taken a big step forward from the initial stage of Immortal Emperor.
"I've already taken about twenty steps of the initial stage of Immortal Emperor. If I continue to cultivate and refine my skills, I believe it won't be long before I complete the path to the initial stage of Immortal Emperor!"
Shen Changqing pondered to himself.
But he paid a heavy price to get to this point.
In the course of three thousand years, the Xuan-level cave dwelling and the Seven Profound Divine Tower alone have already used six thousand high-grade immortal stones.
however.
That's not the main point.
Shen Changqing is now cultivating with high-grade immortal stones.
During this period, including the consumption of the Immortal Mansion and Divine Tower space, Shen Changqing spent 100,000 high-grade immortal stones in just three thousand years.
But that's the case.
He had only completed one-fifth of the path to the initial stage of Immortal Emperor.
To complete the entire journey, at least 500,000 high-grade immortal stones would be required.
Such consumption.
It is truly astonishing.
Even for ordinary forces, it would be difficult to withstand such a drain.
"Only one of the nine universes has been opened up so far. The resources required to truly open up all nine universes are unimaginable!"
"Over a million high-grade immortal stones may seem like a lot, but it's not enough to support my cultivation to the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm—"
Shen Changqing shook his head, but he wasn't too anxious. He hadn't even reached the middle stage of Immortal Emperor yet, so there was no rush.
However, it is undeniable that the cultivation resources of Heavenly Dao Immortal City are unmatched by other places, which explains why many cultivators come to settle down in such an immortal city.
but--
The Heavenly Immortal City is indeed wonderful.
Without a strong foundation, it is difficult to maintain.
In just a few thousand years, Shen Changqing has already used up some of the hundreds of thousands of high-grade immortal stones he has. If things continue like this, the immortal stones he has won't last much longer.
If one were simply renting a celestial abode, the price of a Xuan-level celestial abode would be enough to sustain one person for a million years.
But in reality, cultivation in the Immortal Abode is far more complex than simply utilizing the immortal energy within it.
In terms of cost-effectiveness, it is actually more worthwhile to exchange the immortal stones used to rent an immortal abode for corresponding cultivation resources.
The reason for renting a celestial abode is to improve one's cultivation progress in every aspect as much as possible.
……
This day.
Shen Changqing walked out of the Xuanjie Immortal Mansion.
Before him stood Ji Yang, Muchen, and a few others.
"You've come!"
"Greetings, Grandmaster!"
Ji Yang and the others bowed.
Shen Changqing looked at the four people in front of him. Thousands of years had passed, and although their cultivation levels had not improved, their strength had undoubtedly increased significantly.
"Since you've all come, let's head to the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele!"
"Would the other senior brothers like to come along?"
Mu Chen suddenly spoke.
Shen Changqing shook his head: "No need. An Tianyi and the others went to the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele three thousand years ago, but unfortunately they failed to seize the opportunity. Now they are already Ancient Immortals who have broken through to the next realm. They are currently in seclusion in the Yellow-Rank Immortal Mansion. I imagine their cultivation has made considerable progress!"
None of them were too surprised by this answer.
Even among the top ten in the sect competition, there is a significant difference between the top four and the top ten.
It's not surprising that An Tianyi and the others broke through to the Ancient Immortal Realm early on.
then.
Shen Changqing first led a few people to line up. This time, they didn't have to wait too long; in less than a year, it was their turn.
Looking at the ancient stele that had stood for countless years, the ancient and rustic aura and the profound Daoist charm evoked a sense of awe in all of them.
Even though Ji Yang was the reincarnation of the Dao Venerable, his expression was somewhat complicated when he saw the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.
at this time.
Shen Changqing calmly asked, "Who are you waiting for to come first?"
The words fell.
The scene was rather quiet.
Just as Ji Yang was about to speak, Qin Hao stepped forward first.
"Let this disciple offer a preliminary suggestion as a starting point!"
"Then you can go first!"
Shen Changqing nodded in agreement.
Among the four, Qin Hao has the weakest foundation, so it's understandable that he came first. If Qin Hao can also ascend the Divine Stele, then the remaining three will all have a chance.
Under the watchful eyes of several people, Qin Hao took a deep breath and came to the front of the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele. The moment he stepped into the range of the stele, a terrifying heavenly might descended.
that moment.
Qin Hao felt a weight on his shoulders, followed by the flow of divine soul power into the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.
moment--
The Heavenly Dao Divine Stele trembled slightly.
That moment.
Qin Hao felt as if he had stepped into a void, where an incomparably domineering figure appeared.
Followed by.
A message popped into his mind.
Defeat him!
Then you can leave your name on the Immortal King's Stele!
……
The battles in the void may seem long, but in the outside world they are only a moment.
After only a few breaths, Qin Hao looked at the Immortal King Stele in front of him, sighed inwardly, and then turned and walked out of the stele's range.
"This disciple has failed the sect!"
"It's alright. Any genius who can leave their name on the Immortal King Stele is among the top in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. It's only natural that they would ascend the Immortal King Stele this time."
Other cultivators couldn't even budge the Immortal King Stele, so the fact that you managed to elicit some reaction from it is already quite impressive!
Shen Changqing offered a word of encouragement, which was indeed true.
He saw other cultivators heading to the Immortal King Stele, some of whom failed because the Immortal King Stele didn't react at all.
Although Qin Hao failed to leave his name on the list, he was still much stronger than the average genius.
After all.
Qin Hao originally had average talent and was a mortal, so it is already quite remarkable that he has been able to reach this level step by step.
Not being included in the Immortal King's Stele does not mean that it is difficult to climb to the highest point in the high mountain of cultivation.
Many Immortal Emperors, even those who have achieved immortality, in Shen Changqing's view, may not all have ascended the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.
Hearing Shen Changqing's words of comfort, Qin Hao did not show much emotional fluctuation.
This is the result.
As he expected.
"Since Senior Brother Qin went first, then I'll go second!"
Seeing Qin Hao fail, Ye Yun didn't want to delay any longer. He directly stepped into the range of the Immortal King Stele and communicated with the Heavenly Dao Stele with his divine soul. The latter trembled violently once again.
But in less than a few breaths, divine light shot into the sky from the Immortal King Stele, a terrifying phenomenon that seemed to shake the entire Heavenly Immortal City.
this moment.
Many powerful figures changed their expressions drastically and turned their gazes toward the Immortal King Stele.
"The Heavenly Dao Divine Stele is acting strangely!"
"A peerless genius has ascended the Immortal King's Stele—"
Almost all the cultivators' eyes were fixed on Ye Yun, and some of the powerful cultivators even had their eyes darting around.
Although among the Heavenly Dao Divine Steles, the Immortal King Stele is the worst.
Even so, the Immortal King Stele is one of the Heavenly Dao Divine Steles. Any cultivator who can leave their name on the Immortal King Stele is an unparalleled genius. If nothing unexpected happens, breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm will be an easy thing for them.
There is even a sliver of a chance to glimpse the secrets of immortality.
Take a step back.
Even if such prodigies cannot attain immortality, as long as they are nurtured, they can at least become powerful figures among the Immortal Emperors.
In this era where the Great Tribulation has not yet arrived and immortality is not yet attainable, a sufficiently powerful Immortal Emperor is of great significance to many forces.
at the same time.
Within the twenty-eight floating immortal palaces, beings opened their eyes and looked towards the location of the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele, their expressions remaining unchanged.
"The Immortal King Stele is acting strangely... I never expected that another peerless genius would emerge from Shenfeng Prefecture!"
Inside the immortal palace where the Taiyi Holy Land was located, an ancient being murmured something in a low voice before withdrawing his gaze.
A peerless genius on a single Immortal King Stele is not worth much attention. However, if the other party can leave their name on the ancient Immortal Stele, then that's a different story.
As the Immortal King Stele trembled, Shen Changqing turned his gaze to it. He stopped when the strange phenomenon appeared, and Ye Yun's name was clearly on it.
……
Rank 78: Ye Yun (Xuantian Dao Sect)!
……
"Which power is the Xuantian Dao Sect?"
"He entered the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele and immediately rose to the seventy-eighth position on the Immortal King Stele. This young man's foundation is extraordinary!"
As numerous divine thoughts intertwined, figures appeared around the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.
Upon seeing Ye Yun regain consciousness, an elderly Immortal Emperor immediately spoke up.
"I am an elder of the Lingjiu Immortal Sect. May I ask if you, young friend, have any intention of joining my Lingjiu Immortal Sect?"
"I am..."
As soon as the other party finished speaking, the other Immortal Emperors also spoke up to recruit him. A peerless genius who could enter the Immortal King Stele was certainly worth their effort to compete for.
Perhaps the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands might not be interested, but other forces are different.
Regardless, this is a promising talent destined to become an Immortal Emperor in the future. If we can take him in, there will be many benefits.
Seeing that many Immortal Emperors were trying to recruit him, Ye Yun's expression changed slightly, and he then cupped his hands and said.
"I am a disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect and have no intention of joining any other force for the time being. I hope you seniors will not take offense!"
Upon hearing this, many powerful figures looked rather displeased.
