Chapter 3401 36 Star Immortal Steles

Outside the Heavenly Chen Holy Land.

Chaotic, ferocious beasts lay dead in the starry river.

The abundance of fresh blood did not attract any other ferocious beasts.

The fact that tens of thousands of chaotic beasts perished in one fell swoop has had a deterrent effect on other chaotic beasts.

Even if the chaotic beasts are bloodthirsty, this scene is enough to completely wake them up.

Inside the Heavenly Chen Holy Land.

Now, however, all is quiet.

Shen Changqing appeared before the Crimson Sun Immortal Tree, ignoring the commotion outside the sacred ground.

"A low-grade ninth-order immortal root!"

"With your current strength, what level can you possibly reach?"

Shen Changqing spoke slowly. When his divine sense entered the Crimson Sun Immortal Tree, he could feel the powerful force contained within it.

This is the accumulation of hundreds of millions of years.

The sedimentation of countless years.

This allows the Crimson Sun Immortal Tree to step into the ninth level in one go.

However, Shen Changqing did not yet have a clear understanding of the true strength of the Crimson Sun Immortal Tree.

The words fell.

The Crimson Sun Immortal Tree slowly said, "My current strength is roughly equivalent to a late-stage Immortal Emperor. But if it were a being of the Holy Lord's level, let alone a late-stage Immortal Emperor, even a beginner-stage Immortal Emperor would be difficult to contend with!"

This sentence contains both感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion) and 敬讀 (jìngtǎn, a profound sense of awe).

Although the Crimson Sun Immortal Tree has only recently developed sentience, it has stayed in the Heavenly Demon Holy Land for many years and witnessed its changes, so it is quite clear about some things.

The strength and foundation of the person before them cannot be measured by ordinary standards.

and so.

Only the Crimson Sun Immortal Tree would say that it is only equivalent to a regular Immortal Emperor at the later stage.

After all, if Shen Changqing is taken as the standard, let alone a late-stage Immortal Emperor, even a beginner-stage Immortal Emperor could easily suppress him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing nodded: "Comparable to the late Immortal Emperor level, it seems that the accumulation of billions of years is indeed extraordinary!"

A low-grade ninth-order immortal root!

His strength rivals that of a later-stage Immortal Emperor!

This already spans two minor realms.

Even for some of the most outstanding talents, achieving this level is no easy feat.

Even a primordial demon god, possessing innate bloodline, could not contend with a mid-level Immortal Emperor when he was first born.

The reason why the innate demon gods in the Tianchen Holy Land can now rival the mid-level Immortal Emperors is because they cultivate the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture.

If not.

These innate demon gods are not yet comparable to mid-level Immortal Emperors.

This can be seen.

The Crimson Sun Immortal Tree has just successfully transcended its tribulation, yet it can already rival the later stages of the Immortal Emperor realm, demonstrating the profound depth of its foundation.

But this is normal.

After all, the Crimson Sun Immortal Tree has existed since ancient times.

The years this immortal tree has endured are considered extremely long even for an immortal emperor.

Even if the lifespans of a hundred Immortal Emperors were added together, they would not be as ancient as the Crimson Sun Immortal Tree.

Even if the Crimson Sun Immortal Tree did not develop any intelligence or know any cultivation methods, it could still accumulate a sufficiently profound foundation over such a long period of time simply by breathing in and out immortal energy.

of course.

If a Celestial Emperor were to cultivate continuously from ancient times to the present, the accumulated foundation he would possess would be equally terrifying.

Even if such an existence cannot reach the level of a half-saint, it can at least suppress most of the immortal emperors and is at the top level of this level.

therefore.

It's not surprising that the Crimson Sun Immortal Tree possesses such power.

"From now on, you will be responsible for guarding the Heavenly Chen Holy Land. However, you do not need to take action personally unless it threatens the very foundation of the Holy Land. Let the disciples of other Holy Lands handle it themselves."

Finally, Shen Changqing gave a word of advice.

If everything is protected by the Crimson Sun Immortal Tree, it may not be a good thing for the other disciples of the Heavenly Chen Holy Land.

Flowers in a greenhouse are unlikely to withstand the wind and rain of the outside world.

Shen Changqing didn't want a group of useless people who only knew how to improve their cultivation but had little combat power. He wanted strong individuals who could truly stand alone.

Moreover.

If one only secludes oneself for cultivation without experiencing battles and fights, it will not be so easy to break through.

Before long, they will encounter a bottleneck, and further breakthroughs will be extremely difficult. Perhaps even when they reach the end of their lifespan, they may not be able to reach the next level.

and so.

What needs to be experienced must be experienced.

Without the baptism of blood.

How can we have the opportunity to grow and thrive?

Upon hearing Shen Changqing's instructions, the Crimson Sun Immortal Tree naturally obeyed.

"I understand!"

Seeing the Crimson Sun Immortal Tree in such a state, Shen Changqing said no more. Instead, he used his divine sense to travel to another place in the Heavenly Chen Holy Land and took out the Chaos Pearl that sealed the Demon God's Tomb.

"go with!"

Shen Changqing flicked his hand, and the Chaos Bead landed in the void in front of him.

Immediately.

The bead broke.

All the Daoist principles collapsed.

The enormous tomb of the demon god has reappeared.

The overwhelming momentum spread throughout the entire Tianchen Holy Land in an instant, startling many powerful figures in the Holy Land, who immediately came looking for the fluctuations.

"This is... the Tomb of the Demon God!"

"The Holy Lord actually brought the Demon God's Tomb with him!"

Many cultivators looked surprised, but quickly came to their senses.

Such a treasure trove as the Demon God's Tomb could not possibly remain in the original Heavenly Demon Holy Land, so it is normal for this person to bring it here.

While ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to shake the existence of the Demon God's Tomb, it was not a difficult task for this Holy Lord.

now.

The Demon God's Tomb was completely integrated into the chaotic void and became part of the Heavenly Chen Holy Land.

"The Demon God's Tomb has been erected; you may all disperse!"

Seeing that the Demon God's Tomb had stabilized, Shen Changqing glanced at the many cultivators who had been attracted by the commotion, and immediately waved his hand, and the other cultivators respectfully withdrew.

After the many cultivators left, Shen Changqing looked at the Demon God Tomb in front of him and reset the restrictions.

This way.

Without permission and specific means to open the restrictions, other cultivators would have no chance of entering the Demon God's Tomb.

of course.

If a cultivator breaks through to the Demon God's Tomb, they can still enter the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

Do not--

It should be called the Heavenly Sacred Land now.

Shen Changqing had actually been considering renaming the holy site for some time.

Heavenly Demon Holy Land!

The names of these forces have long been labeled as belonging to the demon race.

But what Shen Changqing wanted was not a purely demonic force, but a force that could truly serve him.

and so.

Back then, Shen Changqing lifted the restrictions on the Holy Land, allowing not only demons but also humans to join the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

Compared to the original demon race disciples, the number of human race disciples is undoubtedly much smaller.

at the moment.

The holy site was renamed.

That would mean they had broken free from the shackles of the original Primordial Demon Holy Land.

now.

This force is now truly under its own control, no longer subject to the influence of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

……

Next.

Shen Changqing then went into seclusion.

Although he was said to be in seclusion, he was actually busy with his own affairs.

Shen Changqing delegated most of the public affairs of the Tianchen Holy Land, large and small, to Yan Wuxiang and Gu Zhou, as long as they did not involve the very foundation of the Holy Land.

Originally, the two deputy holy masters checked and balanced each other, but now it seems that Gu Zhou no longer has the qualifications to check and balance Yan Wuxiang.

no way.

The two sides are too far apart in strength.

Unless Gu Zhou can surpass him later, then that's another story.

However, in the short term, it is impossible for Gu Zhou to catch up with Yan Wuxiang.

After all, it's not easy for a cultivator who has only been a Celestial Emperor for a few hundred thousand years to reach the Half-Saint level.

but.

Despite the fact that both sides have lost their balance.

However, with Shen Changqing suppressing the situation, there shouldn't be any major problems.

of course.

If another cultivator were to take the position of Holy Lord, but lacked the strength to suppress the situation, then the situation would be a different story.

But for now, Shen Changqing is not afraid of any imbalance.

What's more.

Within the Heavenly Chen Holy Land, the vast majority of Heavenly Lords are innate demon gods. Even though the Yan family has grown powerful, it has not reached the point of being able to control everything.

……

A month later.

A sudden burst of stellar power erupted, and endless starlight converged, instantly shaking the entire Heavenly Chen Holy Land.

Followed by.

Then, among the 108 Immortal Cities, the 36 Upper Immortal Cities belonging to the True Disciples all had starlight falling down, a scene that naturally startled all cultivators.

When they arrived at the Thirty-Six Immortal Cities, they saw the starlight dissipate and the Great Dao Immortal Stele slowly emerge.

These Great Dao Immortal Steles are hundreds of feet tall, filled with a terrifying and vast immortal might, and are further adorned with the power of stars, making many cultivators tremble with fear.

at the same time.

Then a mighty voice entered the ears of every cultivator.

"These thirty-six Star Immortal Steles carry a top-tier Immortal Emperor's inheritance called the Primordial Star Domain Scripture. Any cultivator from a holy land who can enter the thirty-six Immortal Cities can comprehend it!"

As soon as these words came out.

The expressions of all the cultivators who heard these words changed drastically.

The legacy of a top-tier Immortal Emperor!

The shock brought by these six words was so great that even the elders of the Holy Land and other beings who had reached the Immortal Emperor realm were deeply moved.

The inheritance of the Immortal Emperor!

It is extraordinary in itself.

The inheritance of a top-tier Immortal Emperor is extremely rare.

Many elders, though qualified to access the Immortal Emperor's inheritance, only received ordinary Immortal Emperor inheritances.

There is no qualification to cultivate a Celestial Emperor's inheritance like the Primordial Star Domain Scripture.

In fact.

The once sacred land of celestial demons had a limited number of lineages capable of reaching the pinnacle of immortal emperor status.

It was only after Shen Changqing led the Heavenly Demon Holy Land to eliminate many forces that the Holy Land's inheritance became more abundant.

But anyway.

This level of inheritance is beyond the reach of anyone but a true Immortal Emperor.

Now that the Primordial Star Domain Scripture has openly appeared in the Thirty-Six Immortal Cities, and even true disciples can comprehend and cultivate it, things are completely different.

"The Primordial Star Domain Scripture!"

Gu Zhou's divine sense entered one of the Star Immortal Steles, and immediately a vast and profound amount of information surged forth, forcefully crashing into his sea of ​​consciousness, causing his soul to tremble slightly.

but.

Although the message was vast, it was not to the point that the Celestial Emperor could not bear it.

soon.

Everything about the Primordial Star Domain Scripture was absorbed and digested by Gu Zhou.

"By drawing upon the power of stars and star cores, one can condense ancient stars and open up ancient star domains. If one cultivates to perfection, one can condense a Star God Body, with strength comparable to the peak Immortal Emperors of the Nine Universes!"

A sharp glint flashed in Gu Zhou's eyes; the sheer power of the Primordial Star Domain Scripture made him pause, his breath slowing slightly. (End of Chapter)
