Chapter 3407: Multiple People Crossing the Tribulation

. All thoughts

flashed through Shen Changqing’s mind.

Then,

he looked at the many cultivators below and slowly spoke.

“I have been in seclusion for over 100,000 years. Today, I will explain to you the great way of alchemy and the path of cultivation. How much you can comprehend from it depends on your own opportunities and understanding!”

As soon as he finished speaking,   all

the cultivators sat upright, their faces solemn.

No one wanted to miss such a rare opportunity. The last time he gave a lecture   was over 100,000 years ago.   If they missed this one, they didn’t know when the next one would come.   So these cultivators naturally didn’t want to miss this opportunity.   Then,   Shen Changqing began to preach. As a seventh-level   alchemy   grandmaster, his understanding of alchemy was unmatched by other cultivators.   The profoundness of this great way cannot be expressed in ordinary words. Every word of Shen Changqing contained an unfathomable rhythm of the Tao.   Though the words were incomprehensible to ordinary people, other cultivators could grasp their meaning.   All the cultivators were immersed in them, completely oblivious to the changes outside.   …   Time passed slowly.   Shen Changqing continued his sermon.   From the great path of alchemy to the path of cultivation, he passed them down one by one.   Simultaneously,   Shen Changqing’s mind flickered, and he crushed ten pieces of top-grade immortal stone. A surge of overwhelming immortal energy erupted, instantly engulfing the entire lecture hall.   For cultivators below the level of Immortal Emperor, the immortal energy contained in any one piece of top-grade immortal stone was unimaginable.   While the lecture hall was currently home to many cultivators, most were at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal or Great Powers, with few at the Immortal King realm.   This amount of immortal energy was more than enough for these cultivators to achieve a breakthrough.   Seeing the massive burst of immortal energy, many cultivators instinctively and greedily refined and absorbed it, attempting to break through.   Meanwhile,   outside the lecture hall,   calamity clouds quietly gathered.   Shen Changqing glanced at the location of the tribulation cloud and, with a flick of his sleeve, teleported a number of cultivators away.   These cultivators, naturally, were those destined for a breakthrough and tribulation.   Soon,   a massive thunderstorm struck.   Thunderbolts rained down from the sky, illuminating the heavens and earth with blinding light, instantly attracting the attention of many cultivators from the Xuantian Dao Sect.   ”That’s the direction of Danfeng!”   ”This is the Immortal King Tribulation… No, how could an ordinary Immortal King Tribulation be this powerful!”   ”It’s not just one person undergoing the tribulation, but multiple people simultaneously. No wonder this tribulation feels a bit unusual—”   The cultivators paused momentarily as they gazed at the Danfeng tribulation, then realized the clue. The   tribulation’s power appeared immense, but in reality, it was distributed across multiple locations.   This clearly indicated that there was more than one person undergoing the tribulation.   Otherwise,   the tribulation wouldn’t be this situation.   Multiple people simultaneously experiencing breakthroughs was quite rare within the sect.   Because breakthroughs depend on chance, even if two people break through at roughly the same time, there’s still a slight difference.   Normally, there’s a one or two day gap between them.   Cases like this, with dozens of people undergoing tribulations simultaneously, are truly rare.   However, despite   the numerous tribulations,   the strongest is only at the Immortal King level.   When the final tribulation descended, the expressions of the powerful on all sides shifted slightly.   ”Forty-five people have undergone tribulations, and not a single one has failed. Danfeng’s foundation is truly remarkable!”   an ancient immortal sighed inwardly.   Normally, when cultivators undergo tribulations, the probability of death is high. For example, if ten people undergo tribulations, only two or three will succeed.   Now, with over forty people at Danfeng undergoing tribulations, all have succeeded without exception, demonstrating the profound depth of the Danfeng cultivators.   Elsewhere,   inside the lecture hall,   Shen Changqing had already established a Dao restriction, isolating all noise from the outside world, preventing the other cultivators from gaining enlightenment.   ”Forty-five people are undergoing tribulations, thirty-one of whom are undergoing the Great Power Heavenly Tribulation, and fourteen are undergoing the Immortal King Tribulation. This means Danfeng will have over a dozen more Immortal Kings!”   A single sermon   directly resulted in the addition of over a dozen Immortal Kings to Danfeng.   Ultimately, however, these cultivators must have accumulated sufficient foundational knowledge on a daily basis, allowing them to capitalize on the opportunity presented by the sermon and take that final step   . Without this accumulation   , expecting to achieve a breakthrough simply by listening to a sermon would be impossible.   Then,   Shen Changqing glanced at the lecture hall before disappearing.   This lecture lasted three months, not a particularly long time.   But at Shen Changqing’s current level, even a small understanding of the Dao in cultivation would be of immense benefit to an ordinary cultivator.   Shortly after Shen Changqing’s departure, Ji Yang opened his eyes in the lecture hall.   ”Almost there. With a few more days of cultivation, breaking through to the peak of the Ancient Immortal realm won’t be a problem!”   he thought to himself.   Then,   Ji Yang looked up at the disappearing figure, his expression once again solemn.   ”Master’s strength seems to have changed quite a bit compared to back then!”   ”At his level, to have achieved such a significant breakthrough in just over a hundred thousand years is truly remarkable!”   As a senior Daoist cultivator, even though his memories of past lives had been largely eroded by endless reincarnation, Ji Yang still possessed a certain perspective.   Even though his current cultivation level was only at the Ancient Immortal Realm, he could still discern some clues.   Taking a deep breath,   Ji Yang let go of the thought.   Sensing the rich immortal energy within the vast lecture hall, he closed his eyes once more to cultivate, frantically plundering the immortal energy for his own use.

Vast immortal energy converged on Ji Yang, and he devoured it like a whale swallowing the ocean.

However,

as Ji Yang plundered the immortal energy, Gu Qingyang and the others seemed to sense something was amiss and instinctively began to plunder it.

But an ancient immortal was still an ancient immortal. Even with their profound heritage, consuming all the immortal energy within the lecture hall wasn’t easy.

Ten high-grade immortal stones might not seem like much, but if they were replaced with mid-grade immortal stones, they would be a full 100,000.

The immortal energy contained within these stones was truly immense. If all of it were poured into an ancient immortal, it would be enough to rupture their physical body.

Therefore,

with so much immortal energy, it was more than enough for everyone to cultivate.

Shen Changqing could sense the changes within the lecture hall.

Seeing Ji Yang and the others devouring the immortal energy, he remained calm.

As expected,

the immortal energy from ten high-grade immortal stones was more than enough for them to absorb.

While the Ancient Immortal and the Immortal Emperor are only one realm apart, the difference in their fundamentals is immeasurable.

For an Immortal Emperor, a stone used for daily cultivation is a formidable opportunity in the Ancient Immortal Realm.

“However, Danfeng’s spiritual energy is indeed somewhat lacking, and so is the spiritual energy of the entire Xuantian Dao Sect.

If we could establish a sufficiently powerful spirit-gathering formation, it would surely boost the sect’s spiritual energy!”

Shen Changqing pondered.

Of course,

this isn’t to say that Danfeng or the Xuantian Dao Sect lack spirit-gathering formations.

In fact,

as a sect with billions of years of heritage, such formations certainly exist.

It’s simply a matter of rank.

Currently, Shen Changqing possesses a top-tier seventh-tier formation. Even if, at his current level, he can only deploy a fragmented Zhoutian Juyuan Formation, it’s more than sufficient for the Xuantian Dao Sect.

If such a spirit-gathering formation were to be deployed, it would have to be deployed throughout the entire sect.

It would be unreasonable to limit it to Danfeng alone.

The reason was simple.

The so-called Spirit Gathering Formation didn’t generate immortal energy out of thin air; rather, it used the formation’s power to plunder immortal energy from elsewhere for its own use.

If the Zhoutian Gathering Yuan Formation were truly deployed on Danfeng Peak, then cultivation would essentially cease for all the Xuantian Dao Sect’s peaks beyond Danfeng.

Any cultivators outside of Danfeng who could even inhale or exhale a trace of immortal energy would be considered inadequately trained.

For this very reason,

if the Zhoutian Gathering Yuan Formation were to be deployed, it would have to be deployed throughout the Xuantian Dao Sect.

Simply deploying it on Danfeng Peak was an absolute impossibility.

As the thought faded,

Shen Changqing’s figure vanished.

“

Grandmaster!”

Inside the Sect Master’s Immortal Hall, Yang Daoxu, who was in retreat, suddenly opened his eyes, a look of confusion crossing his features. He

then

approached the sect’s restricted area,

only to see a figure already there.

“Disciple greets the Grandmaster!”

“You’re here.”

Shen Changqing looked at the figure before him, his expression impassive. Over hundreds of thousands of years, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s master hadn’t seen much improvement in his cultivation.

But that was normal.

For an Immortal Emperor, hundreds of thousands of years was nothing.

Moreover,

Yang Daoxu’s talent wasn’t exceptional. Although he had achieved the Immortal Emperor realm, without a significant opportunity, he would likely have stopped there.

Even if he were given ten times the time, improvement would be difficult.

However,

the Immortal Emperor’s lifespan was immense.

Having only recently achieved the Immortal Emperor realm, he still had billions of years to spare, so his lifespan wasn’t in jeopardy in the short term.

All thoughts flashed through Shen Changqing’s mind, and then he waved his sleeve, and thirty-six small banners appeared out of thin air.

In an instant,

a heavy, powerful pressure permeated the void.

Yang Daoxu stared at the thirty-six banners before him, his face filled with uncertainty.

“Master, may I ask, what is this?”

“This is the Zhoutian Juyuan Formation, a top-notch spirit-gathering formation capable of enhancing the sect’s overall spiritual energy. As the sect leader, I must share some information with you!”

“Zhoutian Juyuan Formation!”

Yang Daoxu was unfamiliar with the formation named “Zhoutian Juyuan Formation.

” While he had never heard of such a formation, he understood the meaning of Shen Changqing’s description of a top-notch spirit-gathering formation.

Moreover,

just from the thirty-six small banners, Yang Daoxu could already sense the powerful aura within them.

Even though he had never heard of the Zhoutian Juyuan Formation before, he was well aware of its extraordinary nature.
