Chapter 3593 The Tower of Immortality

Afterwards,

the Seven Star Venerable sat down and discussed the Dao with Shen Changqing.

Rather than a discussion,

it was more like Shen Changqing guiding the Seven Star Venerable’s cultivation.

At his level, his understanding and comprehension of the Great Dao had reached an unfathomable depth.

The mere Immortal King Dao was like a toddler just learning to walk to Shen Changqing.

Therefore,

every word Shen Changqing spoke was worthy of deep thought and reflection for the Seven Star Venerable.

Several days later,

the Seven Star Venerable let out a long sigh, his face filled with admiration: “This discussion with Sect Master Shen has been immensely beneficial!”

“You flatter me, Venerable. I will be giving lectures at the Heavenly Sect later. If you are interested, you are welcome to attend,”

Shen Changqing said.

The

Seven Star Venerable nodded in agreement: “Certainly!”

A lecture from a powerhouse of this caliber was an immense opportunity for him.

How could the Seven Star Venerable miss such a chance?

Just as he was about to take his leave to digest what he had learned from the discussion, Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, and a storage ring appeared out of thin air.

“This storage ring contains some Dragon Blood Mist Sprouts, which I present to you, Venerable One.”

“Thank you, Sect Master Shen!”

The Seven Star Venerable took a deep breath but did not refuse.

He already deeply understood the effects of Dragon Blood Mist Sprouts; such top-grade immortal tea was enough to enable even a Celestial King to comprehend the Dao.

With such a treasure, he might one day have the opportunity to break through to the Ancient Immortal realm.

…

One month later.

Inside the Heavenly Sect’s main hall.

Jiang Zhen, the Sect Master, sat in the lower seat, while on the former Sect Master’s throne sat a figure in a green robe.

The elders of all the peaks were present, their faces filled with awe as they looked at the figure in the main seat.

“One year from now, I will lecture on the Great Dao at the Enlightenment Cliff of Asking the Dao Mountain. All cultivators from all realms are welcome to attend!”

Shen Changqing said slowly, looking at the crowd.

“You all must be prepared for this matter, lest it cause unrest!”

“We obey the Ancestor’s decree!”

Jiang Zhen and the others were all shocked upon hearing this, their faces filled with joy.

A sermon!

This was an immense opportunity for them.

A sermon by a powerhouse of this level was different from the sermons by the Immortal Kings of the heavens in the past.

This news

would surely shake the entire heavens.

Even the Netherworld would send powerful figures to listen to the Great Dao.

After all—

an opportunity to hear Shen Changqing sermon was rare, occurring only once every few years.

Whether he would return to the heavens again if he returned to the Upper Realm was still unknown.

Subsequently,

Shen Changqing’s figure disappeared.

The specific arrangements for the sermon were naturally handled by Jiang Zhen and the others; he didn’t need to interfere too much.

After leaving the main hall, Shen Changqing went into seclusion again.

But this time,

his seclusion wasn’t primarily for cultivation; instead, he entered the first level of the Seven Profound Divine Tower to begin refining a supreme treasure.

With time flowing at a hundred times faster, Shen Changqing’s weapon forging went extremely smoothly.

In less than three months, thick tribulation clouds condensed, their vast, abyssal aura shaking the entire Ancient Continent.

Even in the void of the heavens, many Immortal Kings cast their gazes.

“This tribulation cloud aura is so strong, could it be that a powerful expert is about to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm?”

“That’s the direction of the Heavenly Thunder Domain… Another powerful expert from the Heavenly Sect is about to break through!!”

“Hiss—”

The news of Shen Changqing’s upcoming sermon had already spread far and wide.

In an instant,

the number of cultivators on the Ancient Continent, especially in the Heavenly Thunder Domain, surged.

Many veteran experts emerged from seclusion, focusing their attention on the Heavenly Thunder Domain.

Therefore,

the appearance of a heavenly tribulation in the Heavenly Sect naturally caused a stir.

Especially since the aura of this heavenly tribulation was terrifying, seemingly capable of annihilating even an Immortal King, it was even more horrifying.

…

The Eternal Immortal Court.

All the emperors also looked towards the Heavenly Sect.

“This tribulation doesn’t seem like an ancient immortal tribulation. If I’m not mistaken, it must be that person’s doing!”

Inside a celestial palace, Dongfang Zhao’s expression was complex. The terrifying aura of the tribulation made even him feel a chill.

Millions of years had passed.

He knew his strength had improved rapidly, his cultivation reaching the half-step ancient immortal realm.

However, the gap between him and Shen Changqing was widening.

Dongfang Zhao had also learned of Shen Changqing’s return.

However, he had been seriously injured in the battle with the evil beast and had been focusing on recuperating in seclusion, so he hadn’t emerged from seclusion yet.

Now, this aura was truly too strong, enough to shake the entire Eternal Immortal Court. Even though Dongfang Zhao was in seclusion recuperating, he was still affected to some extent.

While everyone was shocked, on the summit of the main peak of the Heavenly Sect, Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back. His divine sense spread out, covering the entire Thunder Domain and even the Eternal Continent.

At the same time,

a golden divine tower appeared out of thin air.

The tribulation clouds gathering in the void seemed to sense something, unleashing a destructive heavenly tribulation that utterly annihilated the golden divine tower.

However, despite the terrifying aura of this tribulation, it couldn’t budge the tower in the slightest.

This golden divine tower was like an ancient rock, unyielding no matter how the tribulation tempered it.

In fact,

let alone breaking it

, even leaving the slightest mark on its surface was impossible.

But when the tribulation collided with the divine tower, a world-destroying wave spread outwards from both.

This terrifying power instantly reduced everything within its reach to dust.

However, under Shen Changqing’s divine sense, this tribulation power was forcibly suppressed within a certain range.

Within this range, space annihilated, and everything returned to chaos. Only the golden divine tower stood firm amidst the chaos, unshaken by the raging heavenly tribulation.

Outside this range,

everything was calm.

It seemed as if the power capable of suppressing all Immortal Kings did not exist at all.

This mysterious and unpredictable method secretly alarmed many Immortal Kings.

Needless to say,

such a method

was inextricably linked to Shen Changqing.

…

Not long after,

the tribulation clouds dissipated.

Shen Changqing reached out and grabbed at the void, and the golden divine tower landed in his hand.

“A high-grade ancient immortal artifact, not bad at all!”

“From this day forward, you shall be called the Longevity Divine Tower!”

The Xuan Tian Dao Sect already possessed a Longevity Immortal Tower, and this one, named the Longevity Divine Tower, was a fitting name.

However, compared to the Longevity Immortal Tower, the Longevity Divine Tower was naturally far inferior.

After all, the Longevity Immortal Tower is a top-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact, while the Longevity Divine Tower is merely a high-grade Ancient Immortal Artifact.

With Shen Changqing’s current abilities, refining an Emperor Immortal Artifact wouldn’t be difficult.

However—

the tribulation of an Emperor Immortal Artifact is too powerful. If it were triggered within the Heavens, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Let alone the tribulation of an Emperor Immortal Artifact, even the tribulation of a top-grade Ancient Immortal Artifact would pose a significant threat.

A high-grade Ancient Immortal Artifact!

That’s the limit that the Heavens can currently withstand. Any

stronger

, and the resulting tribulation might affect the Heavens themselves.

Although Shen Changqing can use his own power to minimize the impact of the tribulation, there is still a risk involved.

Moreover,

for the Heavenly Sect,

one high-grade Ancient Immortal Artifact is more than enough.

With a flick of his right hand, Shen Changqing sent the Longevity Divine Tower into a streak of light, instantly landing on the plaza of the Heavenly Sect’s inner sect.

The once palm-sized divine tower had now grown to a thousand feet in size, standing there like a pillar supporting the sky, causing the entire Heavenly Sect to tremble violently.

All the cultivators of the Heavenly Sect were alarmed and rushed towards the scene.

When they saw the Longevity Divine Tower before them, the immense and vast aura it exuded caused everyone to gasp.

“What kind of supreme treasure is this?”

“Such a powerful aura—”

Li Kaiyang looked at the Longevity Divine Tower before him; the terrifying aura it emitted made him feel pressured.

As a late-stage Immortal King, his strength was naturally not weak.

But now,

even a mere wisp of a supreme treasure’s aura made him feel pressured.

How could such a change not shock Li Kaiyang?

Not only Li Kaiyang

, but also Tai Shan and Jiang Zhen, among other Immortal Kings, were utterly astonished when they looked at the Longevity Divine Tower.

At this moment,

Shen Changqing’s figure appeared in mid-air, and all the Heavenly Sect cultivators respectfully greeted him.

“Greetings, Ancestor!”

Shen Changqing nodded slightly, glanced at Jiang Zhen and the others, and then turned his gaze back to the Longevity Divine Tower before him.

“This is a supreme treasure I crafted, called the Longevity Divine Tower. Every seven levels of this tower correspond to a realm.

Starting from the Immortal Golden Body and ending at the Immortal King realm, there are a total of forty-nine levels.

Each time you break through a level, you will receive corresponding cultivation resources. If someone can break through all forty-nine levels, the resources obtained will be enough to allow you to cultivate to the Ancient Immortal level!” As

soon as he finished speaking,

everyone’s faces lit up with excitement.

Passing through the forty-nine levels of the Longevity Divine Tower would grant them the cultivation resources to break through to the Ancient Immortal realm.

Such temptation was immense.

Many Immortal Kings’ breathing became somewhat rapid, wishing they could enter the Longevity Divine Tower right now.

“With such a supreme treasure bestowed by the Ancestor, what worries does our Heavenly Sect have about not prospering!”

Jiang Zhen said excitedly.

Before the Longevity Divine Tower appeared, the Heavenly Sect also had a supreme treasure called the Time Divine Tower.

This treasure had few functions, the most important of which was to change the flow of time.

Those who enter as Immortal Kings experience twice the time flow, while those below the Great Power level experience five times the time flow.

However,

the Time Tower’s ability to alter the flow of time cannot compare to the Longevity Tower.

The former, while claiming to change the flow of time, is essentially equivalent to prematurely consuming lifespan, making it largely useless for ordinary cultivators.

After all, the faster the time flow, the faster one’s lifespan is consumed.

For cultivators who haven’t yet reached the pinnacle of longevity, using the Time Tower is a mixed bag.

In critical moments, shortening cultivation time with the Time Tower to gain a chance at survival is certainly worthwhile.

But in ordinary times, rashly using the Time Tower for cultivation is largely pointless.

In comparison,

the Longevity Tower before them far surpasses the Time Tower.

Especially the allure of passing the forty-ninth level is truly unsettling. (End of Chapter)
