Chapter 3647 The Great Dream Immortal Scripture

Then,

Shen Changqing looked towards the outside of the mountain gate, his expression somewhat subtle.

“The current strength of the Xuantian Dao Sect is still far too lacking. It’s enough to deal with ordinary forces, but against some top-tier forces, the gap is significant—”

He shook his head.

The Huangliang Divine Sect had invaded.

Aside from the disciples guarding the mountain gate, no one in the Xuantian Dao Sect noticed. This

showed just how powerful the Huangliang Divine Sect’s half-saint was.

Such an existence was so subtle that even other half-saints would find it difficult to detect unless seen with the n*ked eye.

This is why, although

the disciples guarding the mountain gate discovered the other party’s presence,

there was no movement within the Xuantian Dao Sect.

The so-called protective formation was completely ineffective.

There was no other way.

This was the difference between the Xuantian Dao Sect and those established forces.

Those ancient forces, which had once produced half-saints or even saints, still possessed considerable resources even in their decline.

But while the Xuantian Dao Sect had also been passed down for billions of years, making it a rather ancient existence compared to ordinary forces, it was still a formidable force.

Compared to those forces that have been passed down since ancient times and even further back in history, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s legacy is utterly insignificant.

Moreover,

before this, in

billions of years, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect only had one Immortal Emperor realm expert—the Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor.

While that Immortal Emperor wasn’t the weakest among Immortal Emperors, he wasn’t particularly powerful either.

Otherwise,

he wouldn’t have been confined to a place like the Divine Heaven Domain.

“To truly forge the Xuan Tian Dao Sect into a formidable barrier, even a Half-Saint would have to stop. It’s not something that can be done in a short time.

It requires gradual accumulation over time; this matter cannot be rushed!”

Shen Changqing shook his head.

However, he dared not be careless.

Since the Huang Liang Divine Sect had made a move once, who knows when they would make a second?

Furthermore,

this time a Fifth or Sixth Tribulation Half-Saint had perished; the next expert to arrive would definitely not be so simple.

Perhaps a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint

, or even a Saint himself.

Thinking of this,

Shen Changqing’s eyes flickered, and his divine sense entered the Heavenly Universe.

Currently, almost all of his trump cards are held within the Heavenly Universe.

But so far, the only ones that can truly play a crucial role and deter all forces are the Soul-Destroying Sword and the green leaf carrying the power of the Nine Leaves.

“The green leaf is the last trump card; it cannot be used unless absolutely necessary!”

“As for the Soul-Destroying Sword, I have refined it for many years. If I were to unleash all my resources to activate it, I wonder if it could threaten a Saint—”

Shen Changqing pondered.

But regardless,

at least when facing a Saint, he was not without any power to fight back.

Although the green leaf was not some heaven-defying treasure, its ability to carry the power of the Nine Leaves was enough to surpass many treasures.

Theoretically speaking,

the power of the Soul-Destroying Sword should be stronger.

But unfortunately, Shen Changqing’s cultivation was too low to truly unleash the power of such a treasure.

In comparison,

the sword energy within the green leaf could be activated without any restrictions.

After understanding this, Shen Changqing felt much more at ease.

Given the current situation of the Yellow Millet Divine Sect, how much power could they possibly use to deal with him?

During this time…

Various forces have launched a massive attack on the Huangliang Divine Sect.

Various branches have been destroyed.

Countless semi-saint realm experts have perished.

Even with its formidable resources, the Huangliang Divine Sect cannot withstand such attrition.

As the saying goes, in this era, cultivators who can truly defy the Five Signs of Decay and the Divine Tribulation and still roam the world are ultimately a very small minority.

“The First Tribulation is the opportunity to attain enlightenment. It is said that during this tribulation, ordinary semi-saints cannot freely appear in the world.

Only when the Second Tribulation begins can semi-saints defy the Five Signs of Decay and seek the opportunity to become saints…”

Thoughts flashed through Shen Changqing’s mind, and information about the tribulations appeared.

The next tribulation

is the ninth First Tribulation.

And the Second Tribulation will not occur until the tribulation after that.

The First Tribulation

occurs once every 3.6 billion years.

In other words

, for the next 3 billion years, until the arrival of the Second Tribulation, it will not be easy for other semi-saints to freely roam the Upper Realm.

But Shen Changqing knew very well that he didn’t need to wait for the second tribulation. He could directly break through to the semi-saint realm and attain immortality in the first tribulation of the next ninth tribulation.

Therefore,

even if the second tribulation arrived and many ancient semi-saints roamed the world, Shen Changqing wouldn’t be afraid.

With that much time, he could directly reach the second tribulation semi-saint level before the second tribulation arrived.

Furthermore—

if the Seven Profound Divine Tower’s hundredfold time could also accelerate the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, then with enough top-grade immortal stones, Shen Changqing was even confident he could directly break through to the ninth tribulation semi-saint realm before the second tribulation arrived.

Of course,

these were all ideal scenarios.

No one could be certain of the actual situation.

But Shen Changqing knew very well that his grudge against the Yellow Millet Divine Sect was deepening.

To be precise,

it should be said that his enmity with the Dark Sect was deepening.

“The Dark Lord—”

The name surfaced in Shen Changqing’s mind, and then he temporarily suppressed some of his thoughts.

Then,

he flipped his hand, and a jade slip appeared.

This jade slip…

It was obtained from the white-robed Taoist.

Shen Changqing’s divine sense entered the jade slip, and he immediately felt his sea of consciousness tremble. In the darkness, he saw the Great Dream Heavenly Lord again.

But this Great Dream Heavenly Lord was different from the one he had seen before.

This Great Dream Heavenly Lord’s body was extremely majestic, seemingly able to support the entire chaotic universe. His expression was indifferent, and his eyes held both coldness and a hint of compassion.

The moment Shen Changqing saw this Great Dream Heavenly Lord, he instinctively felt an urge to prostrate himself in worship.

However,

the instant this impulse arose, a murderous sword intent suddenly appeared, and all the strange sensations vanished in an instant.

The next moment,

the Great Dream Heavenly Lord’s Dharma form shattered inch by inch.

Numerous unfamiliar pieces of information surged forth.

After a long while,

Shen Changqing reopened his eyes, his expression calm.

“The Great Dream Immortal Scripture—”

He had now completely digested the information; it was indeed a cultivation technique called the Great Dream Immortal Scripture.

Such a technique required one to reach the semi-saint realm at the very beginning.

From the Half-Saint Realm onwards, the so-called inheritance of cultivation techniques is based on the Great Dao.

Therefore, the Great Dream Immortal Scripture contains the complete and supreme Great Dao that points directly to the Dao Venerable Realm.

However—

this Great Dao cannot be comprehended by ordinary cultivators.

One must believe in the Great Dream Heavenly Lord and visualize the Great Dream Heavenly Lord’s Dharma Image in one’s sea of consciousness. Only with sufficient piety towards the Great Dream Heavenly Lord can one communicate with the Dark Lord through the Great Dream Heavenly Lord’s Dharma Image to comprehend the other’s past Dao.

The Great Dream Immortal

Scripture was created by the first generation leader of the Yellow Millet Divine Sect.

The Dark Lord is the source of darkness and also has Dharma Images of all beings. The so-called Great Dream Heavenly Lord is actually one of the Dark Lord’s Dharma Images.

“Judging from the information left in this jade slip, only cultivators at the Hall Master level and above in the Yellow Millet Divine Sect can truly cultivate.

In other words, the white-robed Daoist who perished outside the Xuan Tian Dao Sect was not a Master of Fate of the Yellow Millet Divine Sect, but a Hall Master!”

Before this,

Shen Changqing had always thought that the other party was just a Master of Fate, but he did not expect that a Hall Master had come in person.

“The leader of the Huangliang Divine Sect is only around the Sixth Tribulation Half-Saint level. This means the Huangliang Divine Sect is much weaker than I thought.”

Since even a Master of Fate like Bai Lan was a Half-Saint, Shen Changqing assumed the leader would at least be a Saint.

But now, seeing

a leader who was only a Sixth Tribulation Half-Saint,

it meant the leader’s strength wasn’t as great as he’d imagined.

Therefore, while the Huangliang Divine Sect’s overall strength was still considerable, its threat level had significantly decreased. Shen Changqing

then

refocused his attention on the Great Dream Immortal Scripture.

This technique was a rare inheritance for the Huangliang Divine Sect cultivators; reaching its peak could lead directly to the Dao Venerable realm.

But for Shen Changqing, this technique was like poison; once cultivated, there was no turning back.

After all,

the requirement for cultivating the Great Dream Immortal Scripture was to worship the Great Dream Heavenly Lord.

And the Great Dream Heavenly Lord was one of the Dark Forbidden Lord’s manifestations, so worshipping the former was no different from worshipping the latter.

Shen Changqing kept his distance from such a cultivation method.

Of course,

if an ordinary cultivator obtained it, they might not be able to resist such temptation.

After all, believing in the Great Dream Heavenly Lord allowed one to cultivate such a heaven-defying technique, with the hope of achieving immortality and even reaching higher levels.

Many cultivators were willing to pay the price for the opportunity to achieve immortality.

Just like those fallen immortal emperors, who were willing to cultivate forbidden techniques to avoid death, this is the reason.

Even though cultivating the Great Dream Immortal Scripture had hidden dangers, and believing in the Great Dream Heavenly Lord and embracing darkness could affect one’s mind,

compared to immortality, such consequences were not unbearable.

It is precisely because of this

that many dark sects have been able to develop to this day.

“Unfortunately, the cultivation requirements of the Great Dream Immortal Scripture are too high. At least one must reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm to cultivate it, and then condense the Great Dream Heavenly Monarch Dharma Image to comprehend its supreme Dao.

If the cultivation threshold were lower, and the Yellow Millet Divine Sect were to spread this technique freely, I fear a large number of cultivators in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm would flock to their embrace!”

Shen Changqing muttered to himself.

After all, a supreme technique that directly points to the Dao Venerable realm—if it were truly spread, very few cultivators would be able to resist its temptation.

But unfortunately,

the Great Dream Immortal Scripture’s cultivation requirements are too high, meaning that its spread wouldn’t cause much of a stir.

Although such a technique might tempt some cultivators who have reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm but have little chance of breaking through to immortality

, the impact would ultimately be limited.

With these thoughts, Shen Changqing clenched his fingers tightly, and the jade slip containing the Great Dream Immortal Scripture shattered.

For him…

This kind of cultivation technique is useless; keeping it is just a hindrance. It’s better to destroy it decisively. (End of Chapter)
