Chapter 3606 Ancient Mountain Proves the Dao
"Another ancient immortal has emerged from the Primordial Sacred Land!"
In the Netherworld, within the Tongyou Palace, the Yin-Yang Saint Lord stood with his hands behind his back, gazing towards the direction of the Primordial Holy Land, his eerie face displaying an inscrutable expression.
That powerful aura made him feel a little uneasy, even though they were separated by countless voids.
Since the Yin-Yang Holy Land took control of the Netherworld Palace and gained a share of the reincarnation authority, its strength has increased significantly.
As the Lord of the Holy Land.
The strength of the Yin-Yang Saint Lord is beyond question.
Now, his cultivation has reached the late stage of Immortal King, and with the advancement of the universe, he has even faintly glimpsed the potential to reach the peak of Immortal King.
However, there is still a long way to go before one can break free from the shackles of the Immortal King and truly advance to the level of an Ancient Immortal.
Seeing Gu Chen break through, the Yin-Yang Saint Lord was naturally somewhat envious.
but--
They themselves hold the power of reincarnation.
The strength of the Yin-Yang Holy Land is also vastly different from what it used to be.
Although it cannot be compared with the ancient holy land, it is still considered a top-tier existence in the Netherworld.
The Nine Provinces and Eight Deserts.
Very few can truly rival the Yin-Yang Holy Land.
Only the most ancient forces can command the attention of the Yin-Yang Holy Land.
After a while.
The Yin-Yang Saint Master then withdrew his gaze.
at the same time.
The news of Gu Chen's attainment of enlightenment quickly spread far and wide.
This applies not only to the netherworld, but also to all the realms of the heavens.
"Another ancient immortal has emerged from the Primordial Sacred Land!"
"Including Gu Qingyang, the Ancient Holy Land now has two Ancient Immortals—"
In the Eternal Immortal Court, Gu Ling looked at the message that had arrived, and a glint of divine light seemed to flash in her phoenix eyes. Then she crushed the jade talisman in her hand, erasing all traces of the message.
Gu Chen's breakthrough.
This has already put some pressure on the empress.
After all, with Gu Chen's advancement to the Ancient Immortal Realm, the strength of the Primordial Holy Land has further increased.
Compare.
The Eternal Celestial Court, however, is far inferior.
To date, only Dongfang Zhao in the vast Celestial Court has attained the Ancient Celestial Realm.
Although his father, the emperor, was also an ancient immortal.
But the difference is.
Gu Xing had already ascended to the Upper Realm, while Gu Qingyang had returned from the Upper Realm; this was the difference between them.
Although, given the current situation, the existence of the Primordial Holy Land is unlikely to threaten the rule of the Celestial Court.
but--
The ancient holy land may not be like this now, but who can guarantee it won't be like this in the future?
People's hearts are changeable.
If the Eternal Immortal Court wants to maintain its current superior status, it must accumulate strength.
But that's it.
A powerful aura suddenly descended, causing Gu Lingdu to instinctively feel a sense of unease.
She looked out into the void and saw that tribulation clouds were gathering above the vast celestial court.
The location locked onto by this calamity cloud was none other than the Crimson Emperor's Palace.
"Ancient Immortal Tribulation... That's the direction of the Crimson Emperor Palace. Could it be that Gu Shan is about to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm?"
Gu Ling's expression shifted slightly. At the same time, all the powerful figures of the Eternal Immortal Court and even the myriad races of the heavens sensed this fluctuation of aura and turned their gazes toward the Crimson Emperor Palace.
The fact that Gu Chen, the Holy Lord of the Ancient Holy Land, broke through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, and then the Ancient Immortal Tribulation appeared in the Eternal Immortal Court, naturally attracted attention.
Inside the White Emperor Palace.
Dongfang Zhao opened his eyes, a fleeting glint of light in them.
"Gu Shan is about to break through, and the Celestial Court will have another powerful Ancient Immortal Realm expert!"
Dongfang Zhao was well aware of Gu Shan's strength.
As one of the Five Emperors, Gu Shan's strength is definitely among the top.
Before breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, if we were to discuss strength alone, Dongfang Zhao wouldn't actually be confident of overwhelming Gu Shan.
This demonstrates just how formidable Gushan's strength and resources truly are.
As a powerful figure who directly faced the Ancient Immortal Tribulation, Dongfang Zhao was well aware of its power.
These are heavenly calamities.
This is not a problem for Gushan.
at this time.
Inside the Crimson Emperor Palace, Gu Shan took a step out and instantly left the location of the Celestial Court, heading directly into the void.
As he left, Jieyun also departed.
Not long after.
A massive calamity descended.
The powerful fluctuations were clearly audible to cultivators in every corner of the heavens.
The direction of Tianzong.
Shen Changqing also looked towards the location of the tribulation clouds, but after only a moment, he looked away.
At this moment, he was not alone in the Immortal Mansion. Gu Chen had also arrived from the Primordial Holy Land and sat opposite Shen Changqing.
"Does the Immortal Emperor believe that Gu Shan might successfully transcend the tribulation?"
Gu Chen asked curiously.
He did not address Shen Changqing as "Ancestor" or "Supreme Elder," but instead directly used "Immortal Emperor" as a respectful title.
Now that he has broken through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, Gu Chen feels even more strongly that this person is unfathomable.
It seems that after his breakthrough in cultivation, the gap between the two became even greater than before.
"The ancient mountain has an extraordinary foundation and has inherited ancient traditions, which has enabled it to reach its current state step by step. Although the Ancient Immortal Tribulation is powerful, it does not pose much of a threat to it."
Unless… what is descending this time is an ancient calamity!
Shen Changqing picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then smiled faintly.
An eternal calamity?
Gu Chen looked puzzled upon hearing this.
Looking at the expression on Shen Changqing's face, he smiled again: "The Eternal Heavenly Tribulation only has a chance to appear starting from the Immortal King Realm."
At the same time, such heavenly tribulations can only occur in the upper realm. If one is in the lower realm, no matter how profound one's foundation is, it will be difficult to truly trigger an ancient heavenly tribulation.
If one is in the upper realm, one needs to have a sufficiently strong foundation to overcome such a tribulation, in which case an ancient tribulation may be born during the process.
Taking the Ancient Immortal Tribulation as an example, the Eternal Ancient Immortal Tribulation is several times more powerful than the ordinary Ancient Immortal Tribulation. Ninety-nine percent of those who want to break through to become an Immortal King will fail when faced with the Eternal Ancient Immortal Tribulation.
However, if one can survive this ancient tribulation, one will receive blessings from Heaven, and the benefits will be extraordinary!
"I see……"
Gu Chen's expression suddenly changed to one of realization.
From Shen Changqing's words, he naturally understood what the so-called eternal calamity was.
to be honest.
It is an enhanced version of the Ancient Immortal Tribulation.
Although Gu Chen had never truly witnessed the existence of the Eternal Heavenly Tribulation, he could roughly understand the terror of such a tribulation from Shen Changqing's words alone.
If I were to face him, I would probably not escape death.
After all, when Gu Chen successfully passed the normal Ancient Immortal Tribulation, he was well aware of the dangers involved.
If that heavenly tribulation were even three times stronger, I wouldn't have any chance of surviving it.
Not to mention.
The Eternal Heavenly Tribulation is several times more powerful than the ordinary Ancient Immortal Tribulation.
Such a heavenly tribulation is destined to be beyond the ability of ordinary cultivators to withstand.
Perhaps only the person before me possesses the means and resources to withstand the eternal tribulation.
"Now that you have broken through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, what are your plans for the future?"
Shen Changqing asked.
Gu Chenwen pondered for a moment, then did not answer directly: "If you were to give the Immortal Emperor's opinion, should I ascend to the Upper Realm, or remain in the Heavens?"
"There are many opportunities in the Upper Realm. If you can enter the Upper Realm, you may be able to go further in the future."
However, opportunities are often accompanied by risks. There are countless powerful beings in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, and I know very little about the situation in other immortal states.
In the Divine Wind Continent where I am currently located, a great calamity of evil has broken out, causing the deaths of hundreds of millions of lives, including the disintegration of some ancient forces that have been passed down for thousands of years.
The calamities that once invaded the universe were merely the tip of the iceberg of the calamities in Shenfeng Prefecture.
With the cultivation level of the Ancient Immortal Realm, one would naturally be qualified to establish a sect and become a revered ancestor in some lower-level immortal realms.
But in some slightly stronger immortal realms, even ancient immortals are just so-so!
"Furthermore, the cultivation environment of the lower-level immortal realms was naturally incomparable to that of the former when the myriad universes had not yet advanced."
However, now that the universe has advanced to the second tier, its cultivation environment is no weaker than that of a low-tier immortal realm, and in some aspects, it is even superior.
"The advantages of staying in the universe are obvious, but the disadvantages are equally obvious."
The upper limit of the second-order universe is too low; at most, it can only accommodate cultivators of the Ancient Immortal Realm. If one breaks through to the Immortal Emperor Realm but does not ascend to the Upper Realm, one will hardly make any progress in one's entire life.
Unless... the universe can advance again, but such an advancement is by no means something that can be achieved overnight.
Without a great stroke of luck, promotion is no easy feat!
Shen Changqing did not make a decision for Gu Chen, but only explained the pros and cons.
Upon hearing this, the latter also fell into deep thought.
a long time.
Gu Chen suddenly asked, "I heard that the force that invaded the heavens last time came from a third-order universe called Tianhong."
If this universe could be suppressed and absorbed, would it be possible for all the heavens to advance to the third rank?
"Have!"
Shen Changqing nodded.
“Using the foundation of a third-order universe to nurture a second-order universe will naturally give the latter the opportunity to advance to the third order.”
However, such things are not absolute; whether the universes can truly advance depends on the circumstances!
The difficulty of advancing from a second-order universe to a third-order universe is self-evident.
but.
Shen Changqing did indeed have the idea of taking action against Tianhong Universe.
After all, he already knew about Tianhong Universe from Yue Zhi's memories.
"Tianhong Universe is not weak, but with the fall of the nine Heavenly Venerables, only Gu Hong is worth being wary of. The rest are not worth mentioning."
Shen Changqing didn't take Tianhong Universe too seriously. Based on the information he had, the strength of that Gu Hong Grand Celestial Venerable wasn't too great.
Once the other party is dealt with, then Tianhong Universe will be fine.
After all, most of the elites of that third-order universe perished in the myriad universes. Even if some of their resources remained, there probably wouldn't be much left.
Gu Chen nodded: "When does the Immortal Emperor plan to make his move?"
"The universe has just advanced, and the rules of the Great Dao have changed. All the cultivators of all races are seizing this opportunity to advance and break through."
Taking action now would be too hasty. Let's wait another hundred years, and then launch an attack on the Tianhong Universe!
Shen Changqing gave a timeframe.
This century has been a period for the universe to digest and for the universe to increase its strength as much as possible.
In this regard.
Gu Chen naturally had no objections.
He has only recently broken through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, and his cultivation is not yet stable. It would be a good thing if he could spend another hundred years settling down.
Having obtained the answers he wanted, Gu Chen did not linger at the Heavenly Sect for long. After consulting Shen Changqing on some cultivation issues related to the Ancient Immortal Realm, he took his leave.
