Chapter 3182 It really is the aura of the Master!

"boom!"

Chaos vibrates.

The celestial light descended from the void, piercing through the endless void, instantly attracting the attention of many cultivators.

For a while.

The strongest of all races.

Whether they were in seclusion or not, they were all awake at this moment, looking at the descending celestial light with a look of shock in their eyes.

"What it is!"

"Such divine light, could it be that a supreme treasure has been born?"

They don't know.

However, the terrifying aura emanating from the celestial light made even the Celestial Kings feel their souls tremble.

That aura was so powerful that even a single wisp of it could suppress eternity.

……

Eternal Celestial Court.

A majestic figure, as imposing as a towering mountain, sat cross-legged in the void, seemingly suppressing all the stars and rivers in the heavens. Even the slightest emanation of his aura gave rise to countless strange phenomena.

at this time.

The figure suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the vast, descending celestial light.

"This aura... could it be related to that person?!"

Gu Xing muttered to himself.

He is now at the half-step Ancient Immortal level, just one step away from breaking through the shackles and truly transcending the tribulation to become an Ancient Immortal.

It can be said.

Such cultivation level.

It is among the top in the entire universe.

even.

With the help of the Eternal Immortal Court's power, Gu Xing was confident he could kill even a true ancient immortal in person.

But now.

The mere ray of celestial light that descended was enough to startle the first Heavenly Emperor of the Eternal Celestial Court.

visible.

Just how astonishing is the power behind this celestial light?

More importantly.

Gu Xing sensed a familiar aura within this celestial light.

This wisp of breath.

This made Gu Xing involuntarily think of a certain person.

The previous Ziwei Emperor!

The former human garrison!

If it is that person, then it is not surprising that they possess such an aura.

After all, hundreds of thousands of years ago, Shen Changqing already possessed unfathomable strength, having killed the Emperor of Ten Thousand Laws of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, thus securing a glimmer of hope for the universe.

Now that so much time has passed, it's normal for the opponent to have improved their strength.

What Gu Xing couldn't understand was how the other party had returned to the myriad universes, or rather, how they had managed to infiltrate their own power into the myriad universes.

As the ruler of the Celestial Court, Gu Xing was well aware of just how powerful the barriers between the myriad universes were.

If it weren't for the problem with the barrier between the heavens back then, the Primordial Celestial Court wouldn't even have been qualified to step into the universe.

visible.

How strong are the walls of the heavens!

Despite having many doubts, Gu Xing had no way to delve too deeply into the matter.

In his sight, the celestial light descended from the chaos and landed squarely on the Heavenly Sect of the ancient continent.

-

at the same time.

Tianzong.

When the celestial light descended, the entire sect trembled violently, and all the powerful figures were revived at that moment.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and the Heavenly Sect has undergone many changes. The number of disciples has increased significantly, and even the sect's high-ranking members have many new faces.

Now, these sect leaders looked at the descending celestial light with expressions of shock on their faces.

"What is the origin of this divine light?!"

"Quickly, quickly invite the sect leader out of seclusion!"

Many elders panicked, some went to inform Yu Ren, and some even wanted to activate the sect's protective formation.

But that's it.

A figure suddenly appeared, his terrifying aura overwhelming the heavens and earth, instantly silencing the panicked emotions of some elders.

"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disrespectful!"

The Overlord God spoke indifferently, and his words made many elders look ashamed, but no one dared to refute him.

This is because the person before them is one of the oldest elders of the Heavenly Sect, and also a supreme expert who has reached the peak of the Immortal King realm.

The opponent's strength is unparalleled, not only within the Heavenly Sect but also throughout the entire Chaos Myriad Races.

and so.

Upon seeing the appearance of the Overlord God, the remaining newly promoted sect leaders naturally dared not say a word.

at this time.

The Overlord God looked at the celestial light that reached the heavens, and a look of surprise involuntarily appeared on his face, followed by a look of doubt and uncertainty.

"There seems to be the sect leader's aura within this celestial light!"

"metropolitan!?"

The elders, including Gu Huangxing, changed their expressions. After carefully sensing the surroundings, their faces immediately became excited.

"Indeed, it is the sect leader's aura!"

"Could it be that the sect leader ascended to the upper realm and has now returned to the heavens?"

Within the sect, many of the older generation of powerful figures were visibly excited as they gazed at the descending celestial light, as if looking at a supreme being.

However, some newly promoted sect elders looked puzzled.

metropolitan?

Isn't the sect leader currently in seclusion?

but.

One of the elders seemed to have thought of something and cautiously asked, "Is Elder Batian referring to the founding ancestor of our Heavenly Sect?"

"Not bad!"

The Overlord God glanced at the other party, then nodded slightly.

"There is indeed the aura of Sect Master Shen within this celestial light—"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone was horrified.

The Founding Ancestor of the Heavenly Sect!

That person was once recognized as the strongest in all the heavens.

Hundreds of thousands of years later, Shen Changqing's past achievements and reputation are still deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Within the Heavenly Sect, this person is an even more supreme being.

Hearing the words of the Overlord God, how could everyone not be shocked?

at this time.

A figure then appeared.

When they saw this figure appear, even the Overlord God-King slightly bowed.

"I've met the sect master!"

however.

Yu Ren ignored everything else, his gaze fixed on the descending celestial light. His usually calm and composed face was now filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Master...it really is Master's aura!!!"

This aura was both powerful and so familiar.

now.

The divine light gradually subsided.

It eventually transformed into an altar.

at the same time.

A divine thought emanated from the altar, transforming into a gentle voice that reached everyone's ears.

"This is the Ascension Altar. Any cultivator from the Heavenly Sect or the Human Race who ascends can enter the Upper Realm through this Ascension Altar and go to the power I belong to."

If you do not enter the Ascension Altar and instead ascend to the Upper Realm through the Immortal Gate, you will either face peril or find opportunity; the choice is entirely yours!

The words fell.

The divine thought dissipated.

When all the cultivators of the Heavenly Sect looked at that ancient altar, their faces were filled with excitement.

"Ascension Altar!"

"As our patriarch said, when we break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm one day, we can directly use this ascension altar to ascend to the Upper Realm!!"

From Shen Changqing's words, they had already understood the wonderful uses of the Ascension Altar.

If one ascends to the upper realm through the Ascension Altar, one can directly appear in the power of that ancestor. However, if one ascends through a celestial sect, one must bear unknown risks.

This risk is both dangerous and potentially an opportunity.

But who understands?

If it's a stroke of luck, that's fine, but if it's dangerous, the consequences are unimaginable.

The upper realm is vast.

It goes without saying that the strong are all clustered together.

Before truly understanding the situation in the upper realm, no one dares to gamble on this probability.

Compare.

Ascending through the Ascension Altar ensures absolute safety.

This can be seen.

Just how important is the Ascension Altar?

Immediately.

Yu Ren then looked at everyone with a serious expression: "From this day forward, no one may enter the Ascension Altar without the sect leader's order. Anyone who disobeys this order will be severely punished!"

"Yes!"

Everyone respectfully accepted the order.

"Let's break up!"

Yu Ren waved his hand, and the crowd dispersed.

He did not allow anyone else to keep the secret of the Ascension Altar from being revealed, because the Heavenly Sect was not the Heavenly Sect of one person.

Behind such high-ranking members of sects are complex and intertwined forces.

It's impossible to keep such a big deal as the Ascension Altar a secret from everyone.

What's more.

The commotion caused by their own master was so great that now the entire heavens probably know about the Heavenly Sect.

Under such circumstances, it is better to openly announce the matter of the Ascension Altar than to deliberately conceal it.

not only that--

With this ascension altar, the Heavenly Sect essentially possesses a powerful trump card.

after all.

The risks of entering the immortal sect are still unknown.

If one ascends to the upper realm through the Ascension Altar, one can avoid such risks. Other cultivators who are about to ascend would normally choose the safest method.

Thus.

The Heavenly Sect possesses an Ascension Altar, which is tantamount to having absolute power.

at this point.

Yu Ren understood this perfectly.

If other forces were to acquire such a treasure as the Ascension Altar, it might not be a good thing; it could even bring disaster.

But the Heavenly Sect is different.

Not to mention that the Heavenly Sect's current foundation and strength are formidable, perhaps only the Eternal Immortal Court can rival it in all the heavens.

With such a strong foundation, why should the Heavenly Sect fear targeting by other forces?

Moreover.

On the other side of the ascension altar was the territory of their own master.

Anyone who dares to attempt to seize the Ascension Altar from the Heavenly Sect will be walking into a trap if they attempt to ascend.

Various reasons.

Yu Ren was naturally not afraid of this problem.

-

Danfeng.

Shen Changqing withdrew his divine sense from the ascension altar.

Just now.

Using the power of the ascension altar before him, he successfully sent another ascension altar into the Heavenly Sect.

Unfortunately.

This is all Shen Changqing can do.

When his divine sense entered the universe, he discovered that the entire universe's Heavenly Dao was suppressing him, as if any leakage of even the slightest power would invite world-destroying divine punishment.

As the Heavenly Dao of a universe, its strength is not to be underestimated.

Although Shen Changqing's current strength is enough to make him unafraid of divine punishment from all the universes, it would still be troublesome if he were to actually trigger divine punishment.

and so.

After bringing the Ascension Altar to the Heavenly Sect, Shen Changqing had only left behind a divine message as his limit, and there was nothing more he could do.

but.

The altar for ascension has been erected.

In the future, any cultivators from the Heavenly Sect or the human race who ascend to immortality can come to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect through this altar.

In this way, a lot of risks can be saved.

After all, Shen Changqing didn't want a repeat of what happened with Gu Qingyang.

It was only because the Northern Star Domain was not far away that Gu Qingyang was spared.

In the vast universe, having the cultivation level of an ancient immortal is considered reaching the pinnacle, making it extremely difficult for anyone to contend with such a person.

In the upper realm, even ancient immortals are just that—nothing special.

In some less developed immortal realms, the Ancient Immortal Realm could still dominate and even rule a region without any problem.

However, in some of the more advanced immortal realms, the ancient immortal realms are truly no different from ants.

Any powerful ancient immortal could easily suppress a newly ascended ancient immortal.

In front of the Celestial Emperor, there is even less need for further explanation.

now.

With the Ascension Altar in place, these problems can naturally be eliminated.

certainly--

If someone is truly determined to enter the immortal realm, then there's nothing more to say.

He has done what he was supposed to do, and as for the outcome, that is not something he can interfere with.

……

The appearance of the Ascension Altar.

It did not cause any fluctuations.

No one knows.

On the summit of Danfeng, an ascension altar had unknowingly appeared.

After Shen Changqing finished refining the Ascension Altar, his life returned to normal.

He spends his days cultivating and consolidating his newly acquired cultivation level, while also occasionally refining pills and giving guidance to his disciples on their cultivation.

It's worth saying.

Since mastering the Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Sword Manual, Gu Qingyang's cultivation has improved rapidly. In addition, he has been making frequent trips to the Sword Tomb every few days over the years.

and so.

In just a few hundred thousand years, Gu Qingyang stepped into the middle stage of the Ancient Immortal realm.

Although Gu Qingyang's cultivation progress seems to be slower compared to Ji Yang's.

But actually.

Ji Yang not only possesses an innate immortal body, but also an innate bloodline. Furthermore, he has cultivated for ten thousand years in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City and Immortal Mansion, an environment far superior to that of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

This way.

Although Gu Qingyang attained the Ancient Immortal realm first, it was still difficult for him to catch up with his opponent in terms of cultivation.

but--

In terms of cultivation.

Although Gu Qingyang was slightly inferior.

But when it comes to actual strength, that's a different story.

In terms of true strength, even without the power of the nine immortal swords, Gu Qingyang is comparable to the peak of the ancient immortals, and may even be no weaker than some half-step immortal emperors.

If he were to use all nine immortal swords, the complete Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Sword Manual would be enough to make him the strongest among all the ancient immortals of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, without exception.

Even if it were a so-called invincible ancient immortal standing in front of him, Gu Qingyang, with his current cultivation level after his breakthrough, could kill him directly.

This.

That is the strength of the innate sword embryo immortal body.

Perhaps in terms of cultivation, this innate immortal body is not as good as other innate immortal bodies, but in terms of combat power, the innate sword embryo immortal body is definitely second to none.

But even so.

Breaking through to the middle stage of Ancient Immortal in less than 200,000 years is an extremely astonishing cultivation speed.

However, the price for doing so was that almost all the sword energy accumulated in the Sword Tomb over billions of years was completely dissipated.

this matter.

This caused Qianhen great heartache.

But no way.

Having already made the promise and received the benefits, Qianhen had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it, even if he wanted to back out.

Fortunately.

The sword energy was only depleted temporarily.

As long as the Sword Tomb still exists, it can still be restored gradually over a long period of time.

and.

After breaking through to the middle stage of the Ancient Immortal realm, Gu Qingyang stopped entering the Sword Tomb.

Although it was due to the severe lack of sword energy in the Sword Tomb, it was also because he had already broken through to the middle stage of the Ancient Immortal realm, and the Sword Tomb within the Sword Peak could no longer meet his cultivation needs.

-

This day.

Another strange phenomenon appeared at the Xuantian Dao Sect, with its majestic imperial might filling the void and shaking the entire Divine Heaven Domain.

"A Celestial Emperor's extraordinary phenomenon!!"

"Is the Xuantian Dao Sect about to produce another Immortal Emperor?!"

"Who exactly is this person attempting to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm? Is it the Danfeng Peak Master, or Yang Daoxu?"

In the Divine Heaven Domain, all forces are turning their attention to the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.

An extraordinary phenomenon of the Celestial Emperor appeared.

This means that someone is attempting to reach the Immortal Emperor realm.

In the past, if another extraordinary phenomenon of an Immortal Emperor appeared after Qingmu Qingxu attained enlightenment, the first person they would think of would be Yang Daoxu.

But things are different now.

Although that Danfeng Peak Master has not been an ascension expert for long, his strength has already become widely known.

Although his true cultivation level is unclear, judging from his ability to destroy the Taiyan Clan, it is estimated that his cultivation level is at the half-step Immortal Emperor level.

It's plausible that such a powerful individual could attempt to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

but.

There are doubts from the outside world.

However, no one within the Xuantian Dao Sect questioned this.

Because Danfeng remained calm and showed no sign of imperial might, while the main peak was radiating imperial might, it was clear that the person currently attempting to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm was Yang Daoxu, who had been in seclusion for many years.

On Danfeng Peak.

Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the main peak.

"Yang Daoxu has finally taken this step, attempting to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm!"

Shen Changqing wasn't too surprised that this person had broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

After all, Yang Daoxu was a top-tier half-step Immortal Emperor with exceptional talent and aptitude; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take charge of the Xuantian Dao Sect, let alone reach this point.

However, breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm still requires a stroke of luck unless one possesses unparalleled talent.

Shen Changqing was well aware of Yang Daoxu's desire to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm through seclusion over the years.

However, the opponent failed to seize that one crucial opportunity, and thus remained unable to break through.

nowadays.

The fortunes of the Xuantian Dao Sect have greatly increased.

The resources are abundant.

Under such circumstances, Yang Daoxu seized that opportunity and took a crucial step, which was a natural outcome.

Judging from the current unusual phenomena in the heavens and earth, the opponent should be able to break through to the next realm in as little as one month or as long as one year, thus triggering the heavenly tribulation.

It turns out.

Shen Changqing's idea is not problematic.

Less than two months after the appearance of the Immortal Emperor phenomenon, tribulation clouds were born and directly covered the entire Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

to this end.

Yang Daoxu, who had been in seclusion, finally emerged and ventured alone into the chaos to directly undergo the Immortal Emperor Tribulation.

This is the tribulation I'm undergoing.

It went extremely smoothly.

From beginning to end, not a single cultivator or force came out to obstruct the path, as if these forces and cultivators were completely indifferent to the birth of a new Immortal Emperor.

This is the opposite of the previous Qingmu Qingxu's attainment of enlightenment.

Both of their attainments of enlightenment brought great calamity to the Xuantian Dao Sect.

Looking at Yang Daoxu's path to enlightenment, it can only be described as mediocre.

The Xuan Tian Dao Sect was not particularly surprised by this result.

After all, the Xuantian Dao Sect is not what it used to be. Not to mention the two newly promoted Immortal Emperors, there is also that unfathomable ancestor in charge.

They really want to step in and block the way.

They should carefully consider whether they can withstand the wrath of the Xuantian Dao Sect.

In this situation.

With Yang Daoxu's ascension to the Immortal Emperor realm, other forces naturally dared not make the slightest move. (End of Chapter)
