Terran Guardian - Chapter 3616

Chapter 3594 Immortal Qi Tide

This Longevity Divine Tower

is the opportunity Shen Changqing left for the Heavenly Sect.

The forty-nine-story tower, if all its resources were converted into immortal stones, would be worth at least one trillion low-grade immortal stones.

Such immortal stones

are nothing to Shen Changqing.

After all, one trillion low-grade immortal stones seems like a lot, but if calculated in terms of high-grade immortal stones, it’s only about ten thousand pieces. However

—

in the lower realm, one trillion low-grade immortal stones of cultivation resources would be an astronomical figure.

To put it bluntly

, even after hundreds of millions of years, the Heavenly Sect could not possibly use up all the cultivation resources in the Longevity Divine Tower.

With the appearance of the Longevity Divine Tower, the entire Heavenly Sect was shaken.

Many disciples rushed to the Longevity Divine Tower immediately, wanting to obtain its cultivation resources.

Many outer sect disciples looked on with envy.

The Longevity Divine Tower seems to have no entry requirements, but the problem is that this treasure is located in the inner sect area.

Ordinary outer disciples naturally do not have the qualifications to enter the inner sect.

Therefore,

if one wants to obtain the opportunity of the Longevity Divine Tower, one must first advance to the inner sect.

…

Heavenly Sect.

The location of the back mountain.

Shen Changqing stepped into this place, his divine sense covering the entire back mountain, and everything there was presented in his sea of consciousness.

“Millions of years have passed, and this immortal vein has been well nurtured, but unfortunately, the immortal source is incomplete. Even after a long period of time, it is almost impossible for it to transform into a complete immortal vein!”

Shen Changqing shook his head inwardly.

That being said

, in a place like the lower realm, even an incomplete immortal vein is a rare and heaven-defying opportunity.

After all, normally, it is difficult for the lower realm to nurture immortal veins, and instead, it is mainly based on the spiritual veins of heaven and earth.   Although

immortal veins are superior to spiritual veins   , in fact, immortal veins are not the transformation and advancement of spiritual veins; the two are completely different existences.   Now that the Heavenly Sect has an incomplete immortal vein, it has added a touch of immortal energy that the universe has never had before. As a result, the foundation of the universe is naturally incomparable to other microcosms.   This also explains why the number of Immortal Kings in the myriad universes increased so dramatically in just a few million years.   The so-called golden age of cultivation   is largely due to the immortal energy of the myriad universes.   That immortal energy   is like a miraculous elixir;   ordinary cultivators who obtain it are as if divinely aided.   Similarly, the reason   why the Upper Realm has so many powerful beings, even Immortal Kings, is that every Immortal Domain has a considerable number, far exceeding other microcosms,   lies here .   Then   , with a thought, a seven-colored crystal appeared out of thin air in Shen Changqing’s hand.   The moment this crystal appeared, a terrifying Daoist aura permeated the air, even causing thunder in the void, instantly changing the color of the wind and clouds.   On the other side,   the incomplete immortal veins contained within the Heavenly Sect were also trembling slightly,   as if in fear   and also in longing!   Then,   Shen Changqing took a step forward, and when he reappeared, he was in another place.   The place was dense with immortal energy, surrounded by numerous celestial stones. At the core of these stones, a seven-colored crystal emitted a mysterious immortal light.   This was   the true location of the immortal vein   beneath the Heavenly Sect.   Shen Changqing looked at the incomplete immortal source before him, and a subtle resonance arose between it and the immortal source in his hand.   Seeing this,   he moved his divine sense and directly sent his immortal source into the location of the incomplete immortal source.   The moment the two immortal sources touched, an astonishing suction force erupted from the complete immortal source. The incomplete immortal source seemed to sense something, trembling and struggling violently, as if trying to escape.   But it was useless.   Before the complete immortal source, this incomplete immortal source was like a lamb to the slaughter, only able to be devoured.   In less than a moment,   the power of the incomplete immortal source was completely absorbed.   Immediately afterward,   a subtle immortal radiance spread from the immortal source, followed by an extremely terrifying burst of immortal energy that swept across all directions in an instant.   ”Boom—”   A vast surge of immortal energy erupted, causing all the cultivators of the Heavenly Sect to change their expressions drastically.   This sudden turn of events caught them completely off guard.   ”An immortal energy tide!”   ”What happened? Why is the sect’s immortal energy suddenly so much denser!”   ”Hiss—”   Even Jiang Zhen and other high-ranking members of the Heavenly Sect were horrified.   There was no way around it.   This immortal energy was far too dense.   Compared to the past, it was at least ten times denser.   If   the immortal energy of the Heavenly Sect was originally like a trickle of water, then the immortal energy of the Heavenly Sect now was like a raging river.   Many Immortal Kings felt their cultivation level increase slightly just by taking a breath.   Of course—   these were just illusions.   But it also showed just how dense the immortal energy of the Heavenly Sect had become.   However,   this did not stop there.   This immortal energy erupted from the Heavenly Sect and then spread throughout the entire Ancient Continent at an astonishing speed, causing the concentration of immortal energy on the vast Ancient Continent to suddenly surge.   And this was not the end.   After the immortal energy engulfed the ancient continent, it continued to spread into the vast void of the heavens and   the starry sky .

If a powerful being were to look down from a high vantage point, they would be astonished to discover that, originating from the ancient continent, a vast tide of immortal energy was spreading in all directions. Those who

first noticed this movement were naturally those adjacent to the ancient continent.

Among them

were the Evergreen Realm and the Eternal Immortal Court.

…

At this moment

, within the Demon Suppression Division of the Evergreen Realm, the National Guardian Tree swayed slightly, its lush branches filled with mysterious immortal light. The patterns on each leaf seemed to breathe, frantically absorbing the sweeping immortal energy.

Until a certain moment,

the National Guardian Tree trembled violently.

A powerful aura erupted from it, its majestic heavenly might engulfing the entire Evergreen Realm.

At the same time

, a phantom of the immortal tree reappeared, its boundless divine aura permeating the nine heavens, causing many cultivators in the Evergreen Realm to turn their heads in awe.

“The National Guardian Tree has broken through!”

Upon sensing this movement, Gu Xiao immediately arrived at the Demon Suppression Division.

In the courtyard, the aura of the Nation-Protecting Divine Tree was as thick and profound as an abyss. Even   Gu Xiao, the Human King, felt considerable pressure standing before it.

However, seeing the changes in the Nation-Protecting Divine Tree, Gu Xiao couldn’t help but smile.   The reason was simple.   The divine tree before him was the true foundation of the human race.   After all, the title of “Nation-Protecting” was not something to be taken lightly.   When the calamity of evil spirits descended and evil beasts raged, it was the Nation-Protecting Divine Tree that intervened, ultimately securing a sliver of hope for the human race.   If it hadn’t intervened to stop the calamity, the Evergreen Realm wouldn’t have been able to hold out until Shen Changqing returned.   At that time ,   the Nation-Protecting Divine Tree was only at the late-stage Immortal King level.   Now, with another breakthrough, its cultivation had reached the peak of the Immortal King realm.   But—   the existence of the Nation-Protecting Divine Tree cannot be measured by simple realms.   After all, such a spiritual root has a terrifyingly strong foundation. When it was at the late-stage Immortal King level, the power it displayed was enough to be a half-step Ancient Immortal.   Now that it has advanced to the peak of the Immortal King realm, Gu Xiao even doubted whether it had the qualifications to contend with a true Ancient Immortal.   But one thing…   Gu Xiao was certain.   With the strength of the National Guardian Tree, it was an absolute pinnacle existence throughout the entire universe.   Not counting those who ascended to the upper realms, among the other Immortal Kings, those truly comparable to the National Guardian Tree were extremely rare.   Just then,   the other powerful figures from the Imperial Court arrived.   When they saw Gu Xiao, their expressions faltered, and they bowed respectfully.   ”Greetings, Your Majesty!”   ”Hmm…”   Gu Xiao nodded in response.   Zhou Yuanzheng looked at the National Guardian Tree, his expression somewhat shocked.   ”The National Guardian Tree’s sudden advancement must be related to that surge of immortal energy just now. Does Your Majesty know the source of this immortal energy?”   ”Although I don’t know, it should be related to that person from the Heavenly Sect.”   Gu Xiao withdrew his gaze from the National Guardian Tree and looked towards the Heavenly Sect, speaking.   Immortal energy was naturally rare in the lower realms.   Originally, the immortal energy of the myriad universes originated from the Heavenly Sect. If the Heavenly Sect didn’t possess an immortal vein, the myriad universes couldn’t possibly nurture immortal energy.   Now,   this immortal energy erupted not long after Shen Changqing’s return, and it’s easy to see that the two are inextricably linked.   Zhou Yuanzheng nodded: “Not long ago, a heavenly tribulation occurred at the Heavenly Sect, reportedly due to someone forging a heaven-defying treasure.   Now, with this eruption of immortal energy, it’s likely, as Your Majesty said, that this matter is related to that person at the Heavenly Sect. With the   surge in immortal energy and further improvements to the cultivation environment of the myriad universes, it shouldn’t be too long before the losses caused by the Calamity of Calamity are truly recovered!”   The greatest impact of the Calamity of Calamity was the loss of a large number of powerful beings throughout the myriad universes.   The number of Immortal Kings alone was no less than three digits.   Such losses are naturally not easy to recover.   But this current eruption of immortal energy undoubtedly elevates the cultivation conditions of the myriad universes to a new level.   In this way…   The difficulty for other cultivators to break through to the Immortal King realm will be correspondingly reduced.   However—   the reduction in difficulty is only relative.   This change in the cultivation environment will at most allow some cultivators who were just one step away from breaking through to the Immortal King realm to truly take that crucial step.   If one’s aptitude and foundation are too poor, and breaking through to the Great Power realm is already difficult, then even with the current changes in the cultivation environment of the heavens, it will be impossible to attain the Immortal King realm.   But in any case,   if this immortal energy can be maintained, the benefits to the heavens are obvious.   As the Changqing Realm is adjacent to the Ancient Continent, the benefits will naturally be the most obvious.   Not to mention,   over time,   the number of Immortal King realm experts on the human side will increase significantly.   …   While the tide of immortal energy swept across the heavens, alarming cultivators from all sides, in the immortal vein of the back mountain of the Heavenly Sect, Shen Changqing’s previously calm face now had a strange expression.
