Chapter 3357: Entering the Saintly Pill (late in the morning)

“Immortality is elusive!”

“For cultivators like us, achieving immortality is far from easy!”

“Any Immortal Emperor who cannot achieve immortality must either obtain the elixir of immortality and live another life, cultivate forbidden techniques and become a Fallen Immortal Emperor, or perish in meditation, losing billions of years of cultivation in a single day.

With this Immortal Elixir, you can step into the door of immortality!”

“Today, I will use your blood to facilitate the creation of the elixir. When I achieve immortality one day, I will witness that vision for you.

That way, you will have died a worthy death!”

Xu Yangzi’s words immediately drew curses from the other Immortal Emperors.

But despite the cultivators’ outcry, Xu Yangzi remained unmoved, maintaining a faint smile.

The other Immortal Emperors of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect were also deeply shocked.

From the beginning,

they had been unaware of the existence of the Immortal Elixir.

Until now.

After hearing Xu Yangzi’s words, they realized the other party’s plan had never been the so-called “Surpassing Heavenly Profound Pill,” but rather the “Entering Sage Pill.

” “Grand Elder—”

an Immortal Emperor began to speak, but Xu Yangzi interrupted him.

“How many pills this furnace of “Entering Sage Pills” will yield remains to be seen, but rest assured, if two or more pills are formed, you too will have a chance at immortality!”

With these words,

the Xuanqing Immortal Sect’s numerous Immortal Emperors erupted in excitement.

A chance for immortality!

Such a rare opportunity!

At this moment,

the formation was activated, and one Immortal Emperor discovered with horror that his vital energy and blood were draining at a terrifying rate, merging into the formation and transforming into a blood-red torrent that rushed towards the alchemy furnace.

The Immortal Emperors, panicked, frantically attacked the formation, but to no avail.

One Immortal Emperor even looked at Shen Changqing and said, “Fellow Daoist Shenhong, the Xuanqing Immortal Sect has evil ambitions. I hope you can help. Together, we can break this formation!”

“Indeed, if Fellow Daoist Shenhong can help, there’s a chance we can break it!”

Upon hearing this, the other Immortal Emperors perked up.

That’s right!

How could they have forgotten that there was a Heavenly Demon Saint Lord here?

You know,

this one can’t be compared to an ordinary Immortal Emperor.

Although not in the Immortal Emperor Monument, his power is enough to suppress most of the powerful ones there, and his strength is recognized as top-tier.

If he’s willing to take action, breaking the formation isn’t impossible.

However,

upon hearing the other cultivators’ words, Shen Changqing shook his head.

“It’s not that I won’t take action, but this formation has already reached the Semi-Saint level. Only an immortal can do it. There’s absolutely no chance of breaking it. I’m afraid you’ll all be disappointed.”

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators paled. The glimmer of hope they’d finally raised in their hearts was now shattered.

Shen Changqing paid no heed to the cultivators’ thoughts, instead finding a quiet corner to meditate, as if resigned to his fate.

Seeing this,

Xu Yangzi frowned slightly.

“Fellow Daoist, have you already disregarded life and death?”

Upon hearing this,

Shen Changqing opened his eyes, looked at Xu Yangzi, and said with a half-smile, “Now that the Semi-Saint formation is before us, why should I engage in such a pointless struggle?”

“Fellow Daoist, you are so frank!”

Xu Yangzi’s heart relaxed at this remark, and he immediately looked at Shen Changqing with a hint of regret.

What a pity!

This person couldn’t be a friend of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect.

After all, his energy and blood were terrifyingly powerful. If they could be used as nourishment for the Sainthood Pill, there would surely be hope for more pills.

Of the many Immortal Emperors present, any one of them could be missing, but not this one.

Or perhaps,

Xu Yangzi’s initial target was Shen Changqing.

However, he hadn’t anticipated the arrival of the Changsheng Immortal Palace, attracting so many powerful factions and significantly increasing the number of Immortal Emperors present.

Logically,

even if Shen Changqing hadn’t come,

the essence and blood of so many Immortal Emperors

would have been sufficient to forge a Sainthood Pill. However, for the sake of safety and to ensure a greater number of successful pills, Xu Yangzi decided to allow him to come.

Shen Changqing’s indifference, however, left the Xuanqing Immortal Sect’s Grand Elder with a lingering sense of foreboding.

As Shen Changqing had said, this formation was a semi-saint formation, impossible to break through with the power of an Immortal Emperor.

Had it not been for a chance encounter, allowing Venerable Xuanqing to discover another secret ruin left behind by Venerable Danxin and obtain the means to activate the formation, even with Xu Yangzi’s strength, it would have been impossible to activate such a formation.

Now,

the formation was complete.

Xu Yangzi seemed to see his own opportunity for sainthood.

As time slowly passed, the Immortal Emperors were drained of their essence and blood one by one. A torrent of Qi and blood poured into the alchemy furnace, causing the immortal fire, which had burned endlessly for ages, to suddenly surge. A terrifying Daoist aura permeated the Immortal Palace and even the vast void.

Then

, a vast thunder tribulation suddenly appeared, covering billions of miles of the void. The terrifying sea of thunder made Xu Yangzi and the many Immortal Emperors of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect’s faces change slightly.

“When an immortal elixir is born, it will inevitably be subject to a thunder tribulation!”

“Wait until the Immortal Pill successfully transcends the tribulation, and seize it immediately!”

Xu Yangzi declared in a deep voice.

The appearance of such an immortal elixir’s thunder tribulation would undoubtedly be unstoppable, and this outcome was within his expectations.   All he had to do now was wait for the Immortal Pill to successfully transcend the tribulation, and Xu Yangzi would be able to seize the elixir immediately.

At   that moment,   possessing this Immortal Pill   would allow him to achieve immortality in one step.   …   As the thunderstorm appeared, the vast alchemy furnace suddenly shook. Three streams of light broke free from the formation, escaped the immortal palace, and appeared directly in the void.   The next moment,   a torrent of thunder struck down, seemingly utterly destroying the heaven-defying elixir.   Such a massive movement naturally attracted the attention of many powerful individuals.

Meanwhile, in another void, two figures quietly appeared.

“Is this the legendary Saint Elixir?”

If Xu Yangzi were here, he would have discovered that one of the two was Shen Changqing.

Now, looking at the Saint Elixir undergoing a tribulation, Shen Changqing’s face also showed a hint of curiosity

.

Jianxu said, “The Immortal Pill of Entry into Sainthood is an eighth-grade, ninth-grade elixir. Back then, Your Excellency expended immense effort to refine it.

Unfortunately, the ancient calamity struck, and Your Excellency’s family suffered a devastating calamity, forcing them to halt their efforts before the elixir could be successfully refined.”

“But—”

“For Your Excellency, this Immortal Pill of Entry

into Sainthood isn’t the best option. After all, while it can allow a cultivator to transcend to the semi-saint realm, even in this day and age, leading directly to enlightenment, that’s all.

The immortality achieved through the use of this elixir is lifelong, with no possibility of further advancement, and the Five Decays of the Celestial Beings will also plague them.

Isn’t this kind of immortality nothing short of torture?”

Jianxu concluded, his hands clasped behind his back, his face tinged with a touch of melancholy about the passage of time.

He had lived from the ancient times to the present, so he naturally had considerable experience with these matters.

More importantly,

by following Your Excellency,

Jianxu had developed the necessary perspective.

Based on his recent interactions with Shen Changqing, Jianxu had discovered his formidable strength. Breaking through to the Semi-Saint realm when the Great Tribulation arrived wasn’t a sure thing, but it wouldn’t be a major issue.

For ordinary Immortal Emperors, the chances of breaking through to the Semi-Saint realm were slim, so taking the Entry into Sainthood Pill was certainly a good option.

But the problem was,

for someone like him, taking the Entry into Sainthood Pill would sever their own path; it was simply unnecessary.

Shen Changqing remained silent upon hearing this, silently watching the Pill Tribulation descend.   He understood

Jianxu’s words .   From the very beginning, upon learning of the Entry into Sainthood Pill’s benefits and drawbacks, Shen Changqing had abandoned the idea of taking it.   As Jianxu had said, while taking the Entry into Sainthood Pill offered immortality, it also effectively cut off one’s path to immortality.   This level of immortality wasn’t what Shen Changqing desired.   For other Immortal Emperors, the chance of achieving immortality would be worth any price, and these minor drawbacks would naturally be overlooked.   After all, they themselves had no hope of achieving a breakthrough. If they didn’t take the Immortal Elixir, their fate would be to sit in silence and die after a hundred billion years.   Compared to dying due to exhaustion of lifespan, the disadvantages of the Immortal Elixir were less of a concern.   However,   Shen Changqing’s refusal to take the Immortal Elixir didn’t mean it was useless.   On the contrary,   he believed   it was of great value.   One elixir could empower his faction with an additional powerful being capable of achieving immortality, its significance self-evident.   Therefore,   Shen Changqing had already harbored the idea of seizing the Immortal Elixir.   ”The Xuanqing Immortal Sect sacrificed numerous Immortal Emperors to obtain the Immortal Elixir, but the current Pill Tribulation is so severe that it will inevitably attract the attention of other factions. Their attempt to seize all the Immortal Elixirs will be impossible!”   Given a choice, Shen Changqing believed Xu Yangzi would never have made such a fuss.   But there was no other way.   The Pill Tribulation was difficult to conceal.   Furthermore,   without the Pill Tribulation, the Immortal Elixir would have been unable to truly complete that final stage of transformation.   Only after undergoing the refinement of the Pill Tribulation can the elixir’s true effectiveness reach its full potential.   Therefore,   the Pill Tribulation must be overcome.   The Pill Tribulation is now so vast and powerful, its terrifying power descending upon it, even across the endless void, one can clearly feel its terrifying impact.   It is precisely because this universe, born from a Semi-Saint and embodying the Dao rhyme restrictions of the Danxin Venerable, has been able to maintain its stability during the Pill Tribulation.   In a typical Immortal Emperor universe, the instant the Pill Tribulation descends, I believe it would be enough to completely annihilate the entire universe.   If that were to happen, the entire Changsheng Immortal Palace would be annihilated.   However,   for now,   while the Pill Tribulation is terrifying,   it is still far from capable of directly destroying the Changsheng Immortal Palace.   After an unknown amount of time,   the Pill Tribulation gradually drew to a close.   As the final thunderbolt descended, the tribulation clouds that had previously covered billions of miles of the void suddenly dissipated.   ——   PS: The big guys are right.
