Chapter 3605 Changes in the Cosmic Advancement
Hundreds of years.
It's not too long.
For ordinary people, a hundred years is enough to experience the cycle of life and death.
But for cultivators, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye.
In fact.
In the universe today, there are no true mortals.
It exudes an ethereal aura.
The spiritual energy is vast and boundless.
Every living being born can be tempered by spiritual energy to some extent, and some can even be imbued with a wisp of immortal energy.
Even without being proficient in cultivation, one could easily live for tens of thousands of years simply by relying on their innate talent.
As the century comes to an end.
The universe shakes.
That aura belonging to the order of Heaven descended once more.
Tianzong.
The location of the celestial abode.
Shen Changqing, who was originally at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, instantly fell to the Immortal Emperor level and then to the Ancient Immortal realm.
but.
The suppressive force is not too strong.
If Shen Changqing wanted to, he could break through the rules and suppression at any time.
But doing so would bring divine retribution.
"Rules suppress... Now that we've advanced to a second-tier universe, the power of the Heavenly Dao has indeed increased considerably!"
Shen Changqing pondered to himself.
With his current perception, he can naturally detect the changes in the universe's laws.
If we compare the Heavenly Dao of a first-order universe to the first three tribulations of a half-saint, then the Heavenly Dao of a second-order universe is equivalent to the middle three tribulations of a half-saint.
The universe has just advanced, and the Heavenly Dao's strength is probably at the level of a fourth-tribulation half-saint.
Such strength is certainly not weak.
To be honest, Shen Changqing's current strength, without using any other trump cards, is at most at the level of a second-stage half-saint.
Facing a Heavenly Punishment comparable to a Four Tribulations Half-Saint, he was naturally far inferior.
not only that.
Shen Changqing also discovered...
As the universe advances, the power of all kinds of great laws and rules becomes much more active. The great laws that were previously obscure and difficult to comprehend are now much easier to understand.
this--
This is the change brought about by the advancement of the universe.
A better cultivation environment than a first-order universe.
Same qualifications.
The difficulty of cultivating and breaking through in a second-order universe will naturally be reduced.
Whether it's breaking through to the Immortal King realm or breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, it's the same.
But the most important thing is.
Second-order universe advancement.
The upper limit was raised from the Immortal King level to the Ancient Immortal level.
In other words.
Those below the level of Immortal Emperor can cultivate in all the universes without any suppression.
Only after reaching the peak of the Ancient Immortal Realm and breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm will one be subject to the suppression of the rules again; without ascension, it will be difficult to make any further progress.
Thus.
The upper limit of the universe is naturally even higher.
"However... the ability to ascend after breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm is no different from when we were in the first-order universe!"
Shen Changqing could sense the existence of the Path to Immortality, which, even with the current advancement of the universe, could accommodate cultivators of the Ancient Immortal Realm.
However, as long as a cultivator breaks through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, they can still directly ascend to the Upper Realm.
at this point.
In fact, Shen Changqing didn't need to delve too deeply; he could understand it simply from Yue Zhi's memories.
however.
In Yuezhi's memory.
The number of ancient immortals who ascended to heaven in the Tianhong Universe is extremely small.
The real reason is that there are many powerful beings in the upper realm. So-called ancient immortals who enter the upper realm are naturally not as comfortable as they are in the lower realm.
In the past, people had no choice but to ascend because they had reached the end of the path in the lower realm. If they did not ascend, they would hardly make any progress in their entire lives.
However, as a third-order universe, the Tianhong Universe is large enough to accommodate the cultivation of Immortal Emperors.
This way.
Other ancient immortals naturally did not want to ascend.
Excluding the Great Celestial Venerable Gu Hong, the remaining nine Celestial Venerables in the Tianhong Universe are all beings at the Immortal Emperor realm.
Below the nine Heavenly Venerables are numerous ancient immortals.
It can be said.
Anyone who can step into the Ancient Immortal Realm can be considered the master of a top power in the Tianhong Universe, or the ancestor of a clan.
They held a prestigious status and position.
Isn't that more carefree and unrestrained than ascending to the celestial realm?
of course.
In any case, the opportunities in the upper realm are incomparable to those in the lower realm.
There is always a small number of cultivators who are unwilling to remain in their secluded corners and will go to the upper realm to seek a future.
However, no matter what, a higher-order universe ultimately gives beings in the lower realms more choices.
Ascension or not!
It all depends on yourself.
In the past, cultivators in the universe had no choice. Those in the Immortal King realm were not qualified to ascend, but once they entered the Ancient Immortal realm, they had no choice but to ascend.
But it's different now.
Promoted to the second tier.
This gives cultivators across the universe another option.
Ascension is also an option!
Ascension is not necessary!
However, this only applies to cultivators in the Ancient Immortal Realm.
If one breaks through to the Immortal Emperor realm, then one will have no choice but to ascend to the Upper Realm.
But what needs to be understood is this:
The ascension of an ancient immortal and the ascension of an immortal emperor are two different concepts.
In this era, anyone who can break through to the Immortal Emperor realm is considered a powerful figure in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
Despite the great calamity caused by evil spirits, which resulted in the deaths of many immortals, the disaster still occurred.
However, compared to the countless cultivators in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, those who aspire to immortality are ultimately just a drop in the ocean.
Those who can truly reach the Immortal Emperor realm are already capable of dominating a region.
Even in the high-level immortal realms, the Immortal Emperor is the one who truly stands at the top in the open.
Such a status and position are naturally unmatched by ancient immortals.
Again.
Most cultivators ascend to the upper realms, and those who truly enter the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm appear randomly in various immortal domains.
The stronger one's cultivation level.
The higher the chance of survival in the upper realm after ascension.
"Not only that, now that the universes of all heavens have been upgraded, the vast lower universes have also expanded considerably."
Numerous fortuitous opportunities have arisen, which, in some ways, seem to rival the ascension to a higher realm in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm!
Shen Changqing looked outside the Heavenly Sect and, under his divine sense, saw that many rare and precious materials were being conceived and born at this moment.
at the same time.
In other parts of the ancient continent, there are even faint signs of immortal veins being nurtured.
However, the process of this kind of gestation is very slow. It would take an extremely long time for such a celestial vein to truly be born on its own, perhaps even hundreds of millions of years.
However, given enough time, the universe may eventually give birth to more immortal veins.
This way.
The cultivation environment in the vast lower universe can be improved significantly again.
This shows just how great a blessing a cosmic advancement is for all living beings.
……
The ascension of all the universes has ended.
Many monks discovered the changes it brought about.
These changes.
It's not just about the birth of rare and precious materials and the increase in cultivation resources, but also about the cultivation itself.
The bottleneck that had previously hindered his cultivation seemed to have loosened considerably at this moment.
Some cultivators even broke through their cultivation realms shortly after advancing in the myriad universes, attracting heavenly tribulations directly.
some of.
Some of the strongest Immortal Kings directly triggered the Ancient Immortal Tribulation.
In the netherworld.
Calamity clouds gathered.
Gu Chen stood with his hands behind his back in the void, his aura as unfathomable as an abyss. His expression was cold and stern as he gazed at the condensing tribulation clouds, a hint of burning fighting spirit faintly visible in his eyes.
"Ancient Immortal Tribulation!"
Now that the time for a breakthrough has truly arrived, Gu Chen is calmer than ever before.
Such heavenly tribulations, enough to make most immortal kings pale in fear, did not instill any fear in him.
Such a profound and majestic master's demeanor caused many powerful individuals who were secretly observing the tribulation to nod in approval.
I won't say more.
This magnanimity alone is enough to explain a lot.
Not everyone who faces the Ancient Immortal Tribulation can achieve this.
Inside the ancient sacred land.
Many powerful figures from holy lands are now looking in the direction of the tribulation clouds, each with a different expression on their face.
"What do you think the Supreme Elder believes is the chance of the Holy Lord succeeding in this tribulation?"
The one who spoke was Duan Jing, and the person he was asking was naturally Gu Qingyang.
These words clearly carried a greater sense of respect.
The previous battle.
Gu Qingyang single-handedly fought against Mingfa Daoren, who was at the Immortal Emperor level. Such strength naturally inspires awe.
Everyone knows that this former Holy Lord, now the Supreme Elder, has been in the Upper Realm for millions of years, and his strength has reached an unfathomable level.
Even in the current universe, the opponent's strength is probably enough to rank among the top three.
These are the top three.
This includes that holy land patriarch.
The so-called ancestor of the holy land naturally refers to Shen Changqing.
Since the Heavenly Sect was founded by Shen Changqing, and so was the Ancient Holy Land, Shen Changqing is considered the ancestor of the Heavenly Sect by all cultivators.
However, in the eyes of the Netherworld forces and the Primordial Holy Land, Shen Changqing was actually the ancestor of the Primordial Holy Land.
This can be seen.
Gu Qingyang's ability to rank among the top three demonstrates his formidable strength.
Upon hearing Duan Jing's question, Gu Qingyang glanced slightly in the direction of the tribulation clouds before speaking.
"The Holy Lord has accumulated profound knowledge and experience, and has listened to his master's teachings for thousands of years. His strength and cultivation are actually no weaker than those of a true ancient immortal."
Although these ancient immortal tribulations are powerful, they do not pose a significant threat to true ancient immortals.
Therefore, the probability of the Holy Lord transcending this tribulation, if not 100%, is still at least 99%!
Don't speak too definitively.
The reason for the 99% is to prevent any unforeseen accidents from occurring.
But everyone could tell that Gu Qingyang's "99%" was actually no different from "100%".
This sentence.
This brought smiles to the faces of many cultivators in the Ancient Holy Land.
"If the Holy Lord successfully transcends the tribulation, then our Ancient Holy Land will have two Ancient Immortals. With such strength, what force outside of the Heavenly Sect can rival our Ancient Holy Land!"
"Even in the Eternal Immortal Court, only the White Emperor has attained the Dao of Ancient Immortal. Our Primordial Holy Land, including the Supreme Elders, has a total of two Ancient Immortals!"
"That is not true... Please do not forget, our ancestor is also here!"
The last person's words startled the other cultivators, but their expressions quickly became even more excited.
Yup!
They had almost forgotten about that ancestor.
If we include that ancestor, the Ancient Holy Land has three powerful beings at the level of Ancient Immortal or above.
Even excluding that ancestor, the Ancient Holy Land has two ancient immortals.
Throughout the entire Netherworld, only the Heavenly Sect has a large number of ancient immortals. Apart from that, some other forces also have ancient immortals, but in very small numbers.
and.
At most, a single faction can only have one ancient immortal.
In contrast.
The two ancient immortals from the Primordial Holy Land are naturally much stronger.
