Chapter 3903 Ascending to Immortality by Luck

Beyond the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm,

in the vast chaos,

truly enhancing one’s power and fortune is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

As Jiu Ye mentioned earlier, even powers with sages presiding over them mostly stagnate at the Ascension level, with little chance of reaching the pinnacle of fortune and immortality.

In fact,

even reaching the limit of Ascension is questionable.

Looking at the Seven Profound Dao Sect now, relying solely on the Taiyuan Mansion, it has already stepped into the limit of Ascension.

Beyond that,

it has the potential to challenge for immortality.

Of course—

the Heavenly Dao fortune contained in some weaker immortal realms is limited, and has little significance for those top powers.

This is why, despite their weak strength, many chaotic forces in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm are unwilling to take over many weaker immortal realms.

It’s not that they can’t;

they simply don’t want to.

Rather than wasting energy establishing a foundation in such weak immortal realms, why not secretly accumulate resources, quietly wait for the right opportunity, and ascend to the supreme immortal realm in one fell swoop?

Just like now, with the turmoil in Nanyuan Daozhou, many chaotic forces are seizing this opportunity.

These thoughts settled, and Shen Changqing connected his divine sense with his sea of consciousness, the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell appearing in his hand.

“A Creation Treasure to suppress fortune!”

He looked at the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell in his hand; such a Creation Treasure could certainly be used to suppress fortune.

“As Senior Jiuye said, for one to ascend to immortality and achieve longevity, the suppression of fortune by a Creation Treasure is crucial. Otherwise, even if one ascends, it will be like a castle in the air, prone to collapse at any moment.

Now that I have the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell, compared to ordinary forces, I have an undeniable advantage.

As long as the Seven Profound Dao Sect accumulates little by little, then advancing in fortune will not be a problem!”

Of course—

there is also a faster way.

That is to send troops to other immortal mansions, annex many territories, and ultimately use the fortune of the people of those immortal mansions to allow the Seven Profound Dao Sect to break through in one fell swoop.

But doing so would also be quite troublesome.

There are many forces secretly watching the Seven Profound Dao Sect. If the Seven Profound Dao Sect were to make a move, the other top forces in the Star Luo Immortal Domain would not stand idly by.

After all, if one force becomes too powerful, it will inevitably threaten the interests of others.

With this in mind,

Shen Changqing looked at the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell in his hand again.

With a thought, he drew upon the sect’s fortune, and the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell instantly shone brightly, as if a whale were swallowing the ocean, with a massive amount of fortune surging into it.

“Buzz—”

The Boundary-Stabilizing Bell vibrated violently.

A moment later,

the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell seemed to merge with the fortune of the entire Seven Profound Dao Sect

. Above the nine heavens, the fortune transformed into surging yellow clouds, eventually converging and evolving into an ancient bell, suppressing the eternal void. At this moment

, all the cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect were shaken. A mysterious feeling welled up in their hearts, as if something had happened, but they could not quite grasp it.

Only Ji Yang noticed something, looking up at the void, where the ancient bell’s phantom image was reflected in his eyes.

“A supreme treasure for suppressing fortune!”

“My master’s foundation is indeed unfathomable—”

Ji Yang murmured to himself.

Fortune ascends to immortality!

A supreme treasure capable of suppressing fortune to this level is naturally extraordinary.

Moreover,

Ji Yang keenly observed that the sect’s fortune was extremely stable at this moment, a completely different concept compared to before.

To suppress fortune to this extent, no ordinary treasure could achieve this.

“At least they are top-tier innate imperial weapons…and possibly even creation-level spiritual treasures!”

Creation-level spiritual treasures!

Such treasures are extremely rare; even in his previous life at his peak, finding a creation-level spiritual treasure was difficult.

If any other Immortal Emperor claimed to possess a creation-level spiritual treasure, Ji Yang would naturally scoff.

However,

Shen Changqing was different.

That master, in Ji Yang’s eyes, was unfathomable.

Then,

he closed his eyes again, concentrating on his cultivation. “

…

The power of a creation-grade spiritual treasure to suppress fortune is indeed incomparable to ordinary treasures!”

The moment the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell suppressed the sect’s fortune, Shen Changqing, as the master of fortune, immediately noticed the change.

If the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s fortune was originally like a river, although most of it converged, a small amount still constantly overflowed.

But now it’s different.

The Boundary-Stabilizing Bell suppressing fortune is like building a dam, suppressing all fortune completely. Even if some fortune still leaks out, it’s negligible.

Shen Changqing looked at the Boundary-Stabilizing Bell in his hand, understanding dawning on him.

Fortune doesn’t only increase; it slowly dissipates. Therefore, almost all forces possess supreme treasures to suppress fortune, stabilizing its lower limit to prevent excessive loss.

Simultaneously,

forces continuously expand to enhance their own fortune.

As long as the rate of increase exceeds the rate of loss, fortune will naturally increase rather than decrease.

If a force stagnates, its accumulated fortune will slowly dissipate over time. While it won’t completely dry up, it will struggle to achieve anything significant.

The original fortune of the Seven Profound Dao Sect was constantly diminishing, but the rate of loss wasn’t too great. Furthermore, the sect’s continuous emergence of powerful figures allowed its fortune to increase rather than decrease, gradually improving.

However—

this is all temporary.

Once the sect’s development stagnates, and there aren’t enough treasures to suppress its fortune, it will gradually dissipate after reaching its limit.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing increasingly understood why Jiu Ye said that achieving immortality through fortune required a creation-grade spiritual treasure.

“Without a creation-grade spiritual treasure to suppress fortune, hoping to rely on one’s own accumulation to gradually reach the limit of transformation is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

But with a creation-grade spiritual treasure to suppress it, the loss of fortune is negligible. In this way, even without attacking other territories, simply holding onto Taiyuan Prefecture is enough to allow the sect’s fortune to break through to the level of immortality!”

Of course.

Even with a magical treasure to suppress one’s fortune, advancement is not something that can be achieved overnight.

However, with such a treasure to suppress their fortune, there is at least hope for advancement.

Otherwise,

advancement would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Therefore,

although Jiu Ye didn’t say that a Creation Treasure is the key to advancing to the ninth rank of Longevity, it’s not absolute. In Shen Changqing’s view, a Creation Treasure is indispensable for any force wanting to advance to the ninth

rank of Longevity. Without a Creation Treasure, advancement is like trying to catch the moon’s reflection in water—ultimately futile.

Now,

the Seven Profound Dao Sect has a Creation Treasure to suppress its fortune, and advancement is only a matter of time. Shen Changqing naturally doesn’t care about this.

Although he also wants the sect’s fortune to advance quickly, such advancement cannot be rushed.

In addition—

Shen Changqing is more concerned about something else now.

“A great evil has appeared, even Senior Jiu Ye has been alarmed. I wonder which immortal realm this great evil has appeared in!”

If it’s in Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture, then perhaps it won’t threaten him.

Because Nan Yuan Dao Zhou and Dong Ming Xian Zhou are separated by many immortal realms, if the calamity of evil spirits were to spread to these regions, it would mean that at least one immortal state would fall.

The forces of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm would not stand idly by and watch the calamity spread unchecked.

Since learning about the other realms from Jiu Ye, Shen Changqing has understood that the great evil spirits and the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm are mortal enemies.

If the calamity were to spread unchecked, and if it attracted the great evil spirits from the

other realms, then

it would be a calamity

for all living beings. No force could expect to remain unscathed.

Therefore,

other forces would not allow the calamity to spiral out of control.

If it did not threaten their own interests, then so be it, but if it did, then it would be a completely different story.

Moreover

, Dong Ming Xian Zhou also has many powerful figures. Even if other immortal states remain indifferent, if the calamity were to spread, Dong Ming Xian Zhou would likely have powerful figures taking action.

However, if the calamity breaks out not far from Dongming Immortal Continent, given the speed at which it spreads, the Star Luo Immortal Domain might succumb to the calamity before the powerful figures of Dongming Immortal Continent can intervene.

Faced with such a calamity, Shen Changqing knew very well that the Seven Profound Dao Sect had absolutely no chance of resisting.

After all,

according to Jiu Ye,

the great calamity that has emerged this time is at least at the Dao Venerable realm.

How could the Seven Profound Dao Sect possibly handle a calamity of that level?

Let alone the Seven Profound Dao Sect, in the entire Dongming Immortal Continent, the number of forces truly capable of contending with a Dao Venerable great calamity is probably very small.

Moreover

, there are at least two more words before Dao Venerable.

In other words,

the great calamity that has emerged this time may not simply be a Dao Venerable.

If it is above Dao Venerable, reaching the level of a Chaos Ruler, then it would be an even greater catastrophe.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing naturally treated this matter with great caution.

After issuing the order, he waited quietly for news from the Xingdao Alliance.

In Shen Changqing’s view, the Xingdao Alliance wouldn’t gather information too quickly.

The emergence of a great evil spirit is so terrifying that even a glimpse of it is unbearable for ordinary cultivators. If a post-natal demon god were to witness its birth, survival would be virtually impossible.

Therefore, the transmission of information would naturally be slower.

Meanwhile,

Shen Changqing summoned all the high-ranking members of the Seven Profound Dao Sect and solemnly ordered: “Issue my decree to mobilize all forces and closely monitor the situation in all immortal states affected by this great calamity, including but not limited to the Southern Yuan Dao State.

Report any news to me immediately, without fail!”

“We obey!”

The high-ranking members of the sects, upon hearing this, were slightly taken aback before responding in unison.

After he finished speaking

, Yang Daoxu tentatively asked, “May I ask, Sect Master, has something happened?”

This sudden increase in activity couldn’t be without reason.

Shen Changqing glanced at him, his expression indifferent: “This battle took place tens of millions of years ago. Many powerful figures from the Immortal Continents have perished. Since the destruction of the Tianlan Sword Pavilion, our sect has been consolidating for many years, and its strength is now far greater than before.

If we can find an opportunity to take down one or two more forces, it will greatly benefit our sect!”

Upon hearing this ,

all the cultivators understood.

This explanation made no problem to them.

Subsequently,

all the sect’s high-ranking members respectfully withdrew, leaving only Shen Changqing in the hall.

Looking at the empty hall, his expression remained calm.

After all, the Great Demon had only recently emerged, and no one in the Immortal Realm knew about it. Shen Changqing did not reveal this explicitly to avoid any trouble. (End of Chapter)
