Chapter 3620 The Chosen One of the Lower Realm

Tianzong.

Shen Changqing has returned here.

He stepped into the bottom of Tianzong and summoned the superior-grade immortal source. The vast mid-grade immortal vein was instantly transformed into nourishment for the superior-grade immortal source.

Before long,

a complete mid-grade immortal vein had been completely devoured by the superior-grade immortal source.

At this moment,

the superior-grade immortal vein was being nurtured,

almost stretching across the entire ancient continent.

However, under Shen Changqing’s divine sense, this seemingly vast immortal vein was actually mostly an illusion.

“The energy required for a complete superior-grade immortal vein is far greater than that required for a complete mid-grade immortal vein.

For such an immortal vein to truly be nurtured successfully, even more needs to be invested!”

Shen Changqing looked at the superior-grade immortal vein before him and

couldn’t help but shake his head. It has to be said that

the energy required for a superior-grade immortal vein is indeed frighteningly high.

A complete mid-grade immortal vein being devoured by it would hardly allow it to nurture much.

However,

Shen Changqing was prepared.

With a mere thought, a large number of high-grade immortal stones appeared.

Each stone shattered

, its pure immortal energy becoming nourishment for the high-grade immortal vein.

However, the high-grade immortal vein before him was like a bottomless abyss; no matter how many immortal stones were poured in, it was difficult to truly fill it.

…

Ten thousand!

Fifty thousand!   One hundred thousand! Five

hundred   thousand! One million!   Two million!   …   Shen Changqing poured the high-grade immortal stones into the high-grade immortal vein as if they were free.   In a short time, the high-grade immortal vein had already devoured millions of high-grade immortal stones.   Such astonishing consumption would be difficult even for many Immortal Emperor forces to withstand.   But for Shen Changqing,   millions of high-grade immortal stones were insignificant.   So,   he continued to invest.   …   Five million!   Ten million!   Twenty million!   …   When the investment exceeded one hundred million immortal stones, Shen Changqing finally felt the limit of the high-grade immortal vein.   ”That’s about enough!”   He then took out even more high-grade immortal stones and continued feeding the high-grade immortal vein.   Later,   to save time, Shen Changqing fed it with tens of thousands of high-grade immortal stones at a time.   When he invested one tens of thousands of high-grade immortal stones, the immortal vein trembled, and billions of rays of light filled the entire ancient continent. A terrifying surge of immortal energy erupted from the ancient continent in an instant.   This erupting immortal   energy was ten times, even a hundred times, stronger than the immortal energy of the ancient continent before.   This vast immortal energy surged forth, spreading wildly from the ancient continent as its core throughout the entire universe. All living beings   in the universe ,   even in the Netherworld,   could now clearly feel the surging tide of immortal energy.   Many cultivators who were in seclusion breaking through to higher realms had their cultivation levels broken instantly under the impact of this tide of immortal energy.   In an instant,   many cultivators throughout the universe were able to break through to higher realms.   Calamity clouds gathered.   Numerous heavenly tribulations descended one after another.   Shen Changqing paid no attention to the commotion outside; all his attention was focused on the superior-grade immortal vein before him.   The immortal energy contained in an immortal vein of this level was far stronger than that of a mid-grade immortal vein.   ”In terms of the concentration of immortal energy, the entire universe is now far superior to the Divine Heaven Domain in terms of the cultivation of superior-grade immortal veins!”   Shen Changqing thought to himself.   The benefits brought by a superior-grade immortal vein were incomparable to those of a mid-grade immortal vein.   The Divine Heaven Domain, in the end, was only a mid-level immortal domain. Although it had many immortal veins, the strongest of them were only mid-grade immortal veins.   Moreover,   the Divine Heaven Domain was vast.   The territory of an immortal domain was something that the entire universe could not match.   Even now,   with the entire universe advancing to the second level, it had expanded considerably compared to before.   But in terms of territory, it was still far inferior to the Divine Heaven Domain.   In addition, the cosmic barrier could suppress the immortal energy to the greatest extent, preventing it from leaking out.   As a result,   the concentration of immortal energy within the myriad universes reached an astonishing level.   However,   the cultivation environment is not solely determined by the amount of immortal energy.   Comprehension of the Great Dao is equally important.   While the Great Dao is easier to comprehend in a second-tier universe compared to a first-tier universe, it is still far inferior to the Upper Realm.   However,   if the myriad universes could advance to the third tier, further improving the cultivation environment, then the distance to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm would be even greater.   ”This time, the gestation of a superior immortal vein used approximately two hundred million superior-grade immortal stones.   Even if an ordinary Immortal Emperor’s power were to exhaust the entire resources of a dozen or twenty Immortal Emperors, it might not be possible to create a superior immortal vein.   The cost of completely gestating it in one go instead of relying on time for self-gestation is exceptionally high!”   Shen Changqing looked at his remaining immortal stones; of the hundreds of millions of superior-grade immortal stones he had accumulated, he had already used up almost half.   It was only because he had enough immortal stones that he was able to directly gestate a superior immortal vein.   Now,   the superior immortal vein was being gestated.   Shen Changqing could then discover that the origin of the Heavenly Dao had improved significantly, and at the same time, the benevolence emanating from the Heavenly Dao had become even stronger.   If the malice of the Heavenly Dao could make it difficult for a person to move forward in a lower realm universe, then the benevolence of the Heavenly Dao was naturally like divine assistance.

Even without achieving complete merging with the Dao, receiving the favor of the Heavenly Dao makes cultivation and enlightenment much easier, as is overcoming tribulations.

In essence,

this is equivalent to being a chosen one in the lower realms.

After all, chosen ones are always favored by the Heavenly Dao, their cultivation is divinely aided, breaking through realms is as easy as eating and drinking, and they have no shortage of opportunities.

However, for Shen Changqing, the identity of a chosen one in the lower realms is no longer significant.

If the myriad universes could advance to the fourth or even fifth tier, then this identity might have some use.

But—

a second-tier universe is far inferior.

Of course,

given the current state of the Heavenly Dao, merging with the Dao is not difficult for Shen Changqing if he so desires.

But as mentioned before, merging with the Dao is an immense opportunity for other cultivators.

But for Shen Changqing,

merging with the Dao

means severing his own path.

Now that a superior immortal vein has been born, the myriad universes are qualified to advance to the third tier.

However, to truly advance to the third tier, relying solely on a single high-grade immortal vein is far from sufficient.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing spent the remaining thirty-six mid-grade immortal sources merging into the Heavens and the Netherworld.

While thirty-six mid-grade immortal veins may seem numerous, the energy required for their actual emergence is significantly less than that of a high-grade immortal vein.

“Still not enough!”

“Even with thirty-six more mid-grade immortal veins, it’s still not enough for the Heavens Universe to advance!”

“However, given the current situation, the Heavens Universe is on the verge of advancement. If there were more mid-grade immortal veins, then breaking through to the third tier would be no problem at all—”

Shen Changqing’s mind communicated with the Heavenly Dao, and he had a complete view of everything in this lower realm universe.

The appearance of the thirty-six mid-grade immortal veins allowed the Heavens Universe to step into the limit of the second tier.

But to break through the second-tier shackles and truly advance to the third tier, it was still somewhat lacking.

However, the Tianhong Universe has already been almost completely exploited, and further exploitation is impossible.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing could only turn his attention to other lower universes.

…

Ten years later.

Above the Tianzong,

countless immortal lights soared into the sky, and the immortal energy of the vast ancient continent seemed to be drawn towards the Tianzong.

At the same time, the immortal energy

at the Tianzong location

reached an astonishing level.

“Hiss, such dense immortal energy!”

“I can’t take it anymore, I feel like I’m about to break through!”

A disciple’s face flushed red, due to the difficulty in adapting to the changes caused by absorbing too much immortal energy.

If the cultivation of the superior immortal vein had already significantly increased the immortal energy of the Tianzong,

then now, with the array set up, the immortal energy of the Tianzong suddenly surged even more.

In this immortal energy environment, let alone cultivators, even a pig thrown here, as long as it could withstand the influx of immortal energy, could instantly become a Golden Immortal.

This—

is the power of the Tianzong’s current cultivation environment.

“The Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Array! Master is going to turn the Heavenly Sect into a true cultivation holy land!”

Gu Bai recognized the array before him at a glance. It was the Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Array, the same type as the array of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

Such a seventh-order array was rare even in the Upper Realm.

In the Lower Realm, it was a devastating blow.

It was only because the Eternal Continent had a superior immortal vein as its foundation that it was not afraid of such an array.

Otherwise,

if it were in the previous universes, the power of this array alone would have been enough to plunder all the immortal energy of the entire universe.

This shows the domineering nature of the Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Array.

But now that the Eternal Continent had a superior immortal vein, although most of the immortal energy was plundered to the Heavenly Sect, the concentration of immortal energy in other parts of the Eternal Continent was still considerable.

At least

, it was much stronger than when it had a mid-grade immortal vein.

Overall, the cultivation environment of the universe had improved

this time with the birth of a superior immortal vein

, and the Heavenly Sect had improved even more.

On the other side…

Ten years later.

At the location of the Netherworld Ancient Holy Land,

thirty-six small banners suddenly appeared, followed by a soaring celestial light that shook the entire Netherworld, even obscuring the blood moon’s light.

Such a commotion naturally shocked all sides of the Netherworld.

“What has happened!”

Gu Chen’s expression changed slightly as he looked at the thirty-six banners. Each of these banners was filled with a powerful aura, and the Daoist patterns on them were unfathomable.

Only Gu Qingyang, upon seeing the thirty-six banners, wore a faint smile.

“No need to panic. This is the seventh-order array, the Zhou Tian Ju Yuan Array. Only my master is qualified to set up this array throughout the entire universe.

With this array, our Ancient Holy Land can truly be the number one cultivation holy land in the Netherworld!” (End of Chapter)
