Chapter 3529 The Great Dao of the Nine Luminaries

This sermon

spanned a millennium.

When Shen Changqing first began sermons, he only explained the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture, a text at the Ancient Immortal level.

However, in the last two or three hundred years, he completely opened up. He

spoke not only of the Ancient Immortal level, but also of the Great Dao at the Immortal Emperor level.

But the true meaning of such Great Daos was like a celestial book to those who were only at the Ancient Immortal level, making it difficult for them to fully comprehend .

Even though they couldn’t understand it, they dared not be distracted. After all,

such an opportunity was rare, and even if they didn’t understand, they had to try their best to memorize it.

What they didn’t understand now didn’t mean they wouldn’t understand it later.

As long as they memorized it, there was a possibility of understanding it later.

Of course,

the Immortal Emperor’s Great Dao was obscure and unpredictable.

What they could truly memorize was actually limited.

As the extraordinary phenomena of the Great Dao dissipated, this sermon came to an end.

Shen Changqing looked at the group and said, “Gu Bai has spent two hundred years in Yangxin Residence, comprehending the Dao of this place   . If you have time, you are welcome to visit Yangxin Residence.

Also, you are not allowed to enter Wuzhen Hall or Zhenhuo Hall without permission. There are not many other rules.”   With a flick of his sleeve, four cups of immortal tea appeared before the four, except for Gu Bai’s.   ”This is a ninth-grade superior-quality Cleansing Heart Immortal Needle. Drink it in ten servings, and it should improve your cultivation!”   ”Thank you, Master!”   The four respectfully picked up their teacups .   As for why Gu Bai didn’t have any, they understood without much thought.   Having explained everything, Shen Changqing turned and entered Zhenhuo Hall, ignoring the group.   He had already preached the   Dao and given what he needed to.   He had never been biased, but who could go further depended on themselves.   Entering Zhenhuo Hall,   Shen Changqing did not immediately begin alchemy but closed his eyes in deep thought.   A thousand years of preaching.   He wasn’t just lecturing to his disciples; he was also refining his own understanding of the Great Dao.   The Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture, in a sense, was extremely suitable for the Immortal Emperor level.   Although it was true that this cultivation method was only   at the Immortal Emperor level, in terms of attainment at that level, even many inheritances involving Half-Saints or higher levels were, in Shen Changqing’s view, not necessarily stronger than the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture.   Now, the higher Shen Changqing’s cultivation level and the deeper his understanding of the Great Dao, the more he understood the power of the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture.   Shen Changqing also admired the powerful figure who created this cultivation method.   At least,   in terms of cultivation attainment, he knew that creating a method comparable to the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture would be extremely difficult.   After a long while,   Shen Changqing opened his eyes.   ”Unfortunately, the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture is ultimately an Immortal Emperor inheritance. If it were a Half-Saint inheritance, this Nine Luminaries Great Dao would certainly be of great benefit to me!”   He shook his head.   The Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture is indeed very powerful; otherwise, Shen Changqing wouldn’t have taught it to his disciples.   Aside from disciples like Gu Qingyang who possess top-tier inheritances, Shen Changqing taught the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture to everyone else.   Ultimately,   it’s because this technique is powerful enough.   In battles   between those of the same realm, if one can use the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture as a foundation, they can suppress their opponents.   But as mentioned before,   at Shen Changqing’s level, the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture’s effectiveness is extremely limited.   If it were a semi-saint inheritance, it would be a different story.   But upon further reflection, Shen Changqing understood.   If the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture were a semi-saint inheritance, then the Nine Luminaries Immortal Court wouldn’t be so easy to deal with.   Moreover,   if the Nine Luminaries Immortal Court possessed a true semi-saint inheritance, they probably wouldn’t even need Shen Changqing to act.   Without great strength, possessing a top-tier inheritance is tantamount to suicide.   This was the real reason why the Xuan Tian Dao Sect was targeted by other forces.   The Xuan Tian Dao Sect possesses the legacy of an Immortal Emperor, coveted by other sects.   Similarly,   the Nine Luminaries Immortal Court is also coveted.   Many ancient forces disappear into the dust of time not because they declined to the extreme and their lineage was completely severed.   After all, even in decline, they wouldn’t vanish so completely.   The fundamental reason   is that these forces were destroyed by other forces.   With these distracting thoughts dissipated, Shen Changqing focused his mind on refining pills.   …   Inside the Bamboo Sea.   Yu Ren sat cross-legged, cultivating, recalling the earlier sermon in his mind, gradually sorting through his own experiences. After   a long while   , he opened his eyes, and with a thought, a storage ring appeared out of thin air.   This storage ring was the one Shen Changqing had given him.   However, Yu Ren had been cultivating all along and hadn’t had time to check the contents of this storage ring.   Only now   did he remember it .   His divine sense probed inside.   Yu Ren’s face immediately showed shock.   ”This is… a mid-grade immortal stone!”   He couldn’t help but gasp.   Yu Ren had never seen mid-grade immortal stones before, but he had seen low-grade immortal stones.   The immortal stones in the storage ring were far superior to low-grade immortal stones, so they couldn’t possibly be just low-grade immortal stones.   ”One, two, three, four… ten million mid-grade immortal stones!”   Upon truly seeing the quantity of immortal stones, Yu Ren couldn’t help but be shocked again.   Ten million mid-grade immortal stones!   Such a grand gesture was completely unexpected.   Besides the mid-grade immortal stones, there were also many scattered pills needed for cultivation in the Ancient Immortal Realm.   Yu Ren didn’t know the exact value of all these resources combined.   But one thing he understood.

If these resources were given away, they would likely drive any ancient immortal mad.

At this moment,

Yu Ren finally understood

why his master had said that these resources were enough for them to cultivate to the peak of the ancient immortal realm.

With so many resources, supporting their cultivation to the peak of the ancient immortal realm was not a problem.

Although Yu Ren had only just opened up his second Chaotic World, he already had a considerable understanding of the difficulty of cultivating to the ancient immortal realm.

Ten million mid-grade immortal stones!

And pills with an estimated value of no less than ten million mid-grade immortal stones!

These two combined were certainly not simple.

Suppressing his shock, Yu Ren continued to cultivate.

Since his master had bestowed so many things, his cultivation could not lag behind in the slightest.

Otherwise,

he would lose face for his master.

…

Time flies.

While Yu Ren and the others were in seclusion, everything at the Xuan Tian Dao Sect was normal.

Initially,

the expansion of the main peak caused some commotion, but it quickly subsided.

Many true disciples of the Nine Peaks, and even some Holy Sons of the Sequence, came to visit, hoping to build closer relationships.

After all, it was obvious to everyone that Yu Ren and the others had limitless future prospects.

If they were just ascendants from the lower realm, that would be one thing. Those

who could ascend from the lower realm certainly had talent, but they weren’t worth the attention of other true disciples or even the Sequences.

True disciples aside,

anyone who could be a member of a sect’s Sequence was at least capable of breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm within ten million years.

Moreover,

the sect’s Sequence missions were quite difficult.

The so-called suppression of those of the same rank was merely the most basic requirement.

Therefore,

while cultivators who ascended from the lower realm certainly had excellent aptitude, they weren’t worth the Sequences lowering themselves to befriend.

But the problem was that

these individuals were not just simple geniuses who had ascended from the lower realm; they were also Shen Changqing’s personal disciples, which made things different.

The Sect Master’s personal disciple!

How many people in the entire Xuan Tian Dao Sect wouldn’t value this status?

Even if the other party was a prodigy, or even an ordinary talent, they would still give them some face out of respect for Shen Changqing.

Shen Changqing’s former disciples were all undeniably powerful.

Except for Qin Hao and Ming He, who were slightly inferior, the others all possessed combat strength comparable to Immortal Emperors.

Of course,

even if Qin Hao and Ming He were slightly weaker, they were still enough to be ranked within the sect’s hierarchy, and their strength was at the upper-middle level among many sects.   Therefore

, it was   clear

that anyone valued by Shen Changqing was destined for great achievements. Naturally,   they wanted to make their acquaintances. Yu   Ren and the others didn’t turn away all of them.   After all, they had already joined the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, and it was good to maintain good relations with some fellow disciples.   However—   after a while, Gu Qingfeng couldn’t take it anymore and announced his seclusion, refusing to see any visiting cultivators.   Such actions naturally drew dissatisfaction from some cultivators, but no one dared to show it.   What could they do?   This was a direct instruction from the sect leader; even if he refused to see them, or even slapped them, they might not dare utter a single word of dissent.   Overall, however   , there was no major upheaval within the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.   Most cultivators continued to focus on conquering the Longevity Immortal Tower.   Immortal Emperor realm experts like Yang Daoxu, Qingmu, Qingxu, and Mingxi Gu Mingfeng frequently attempted to break through.   Unfortunately,   to date,   no one had been able to conquer the thirty-six levels of the Longevity Immortal Tower and witness the so-called Great Dao of Longevity.   Including Yang Daoxu, several Immortal Emperors had only reached the twenty-fifth level. The top twelve levels of   the thirty-six-level Longevity Immortal Tower   corresponded to the Immortal Emperor level.   In other words,   these individuals hadn’t even passed the first level of the twelfth Immortal Emperor level.   This   naturally embarrassed Yang Daoxu and the others.   However, after the initial embarrassment, they cultivated even more diligently, determined to conquer the twenty-fifth level.   After all, for a dignified Immortal Emperor to fail even the first level of the twelfth level of the Immortal Emperor realm would indeed be somewhat shameful.   Even if one couldn’t pass all thirty-six levels of the Immortal Tower of Longevity, one should at least have cleared one or two levels.   Constantly getting stuck on the first level is truly embarrassing.   It’s fortunate that the results of clearing the Immortal Tower of Longevity aren’t publicly announced; otherwise, this matter would have already spread throughout the entire sect.   Let alone stopping at the twenty-fifth level, which is already considered among the top performers   , from the perspective of an Immortal Emperor, this result is undoubtedly at the bottom.   After all, any normal Immortal Emperor wouldn’t fail to reach the twenty-fifth level.
