Chapter 316: Celestial Tides! My Name on the Supreme Tower (4000 Words)



"What do you mean?!"

A glint of understanding flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes.

The white-robed youth's brief words revealed a wealth of information.

Above the Celestial Immortal, the Taiyi Realm!

So, the realm above the Celestial Immortal was called Taiyi.

However, from the white-robed youth's words, it seemed that reaching such a realm in the current situation would be extremely difficult.

For a moment, Qin Zheng's mind was flooded with thoughts.

The white-robed youth muttered to himself for a while, then snapped back to reality and refocused his gaze on Qin Zheng.

"Do you know about tides?" he asked.

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, forming a guess in his mind, and nodded in response, "Tides are influenced by external forces, exhibiting a regular ebb and flow."

The white-robed youth nodded, then continued, "The celestial environment is like the tides. During high tide, it's a flourishing era for cultivation."

"But when the tide recedes, it's the Final Dharma Cataclysm, and all cultivators will be affected!"

"Since the Ancient Era, the celestial realm we inhabit has entered the ebb phase."

"Cultivation becomes increasingly challenging, and the highest attainable realm is getting lower and lower."

The white-robed youth paused briefly before continuing, "In our era, there were still those who attained the Taiyi Realm."

"But in your era, the Celestial Immortal should be the limit."

"How could there still be Taiyi cultivators?"

"Could it be that the tide has receded and is now starting to rise again?"

"Or is Wu Qingping truly powerful enough to break the heavenly rules and force his way to Taiyi attainment in this impossible era?"

The white-robed youth kept talking.

As he spoke, Qin Zheng received more and more information.

Ancient Era Tide Rules

All changes began during the so-called Ancient Era.

Since then, cultivation has become increasingly difficult, and now, even attaining the Taiyi level seems impossible.

Qin Zheng processed this information.

"Never mind!"

Suddenly, the white-robed youth's eyebrows relaxed.

A hint of self-mockery appeared on his face, and he said, "I'm just a remnant soul that has been dead for who knows how long."

"Even if the celestial tide recedes and rises again, it makes no difference to me."

"I will still remain in this tower, forever deprived of the sun."

Then, he looked at Qin Zheng and said, "Among the humans and demons who entered the Spirit Ruins Realm after the Great Annihilation, your talent is enough to rank in the top two!"

"I know that the Demon Race is dominant now, but unfortunately, I can't do anything about it. For this trial's reward, I'll give you a little more."

"This Nine Heavens Essence Qi should be enough to enrich your foundation."

As he finished speaking, the white-robed youth waved his large hand.

In an instant, the yellow sand surrounding Qin Zheng transformed into the purest Nine Heavens Essence Qi, rushing into his body like a raging tide.

This was a high-quality energy, far surpassing Immortal Spirit Qi! At that moment, Qin Zheng felt the sound of the Great Dao ringing in his ears, and his entire being instantly calmed, as if entering a state of enlightenment.

Simultaneously.

Whoosh! The Great Dao Tree in his inner world became more vigorous, as if it had found nourishment, releasing a yearning emotion.

Qin Zheng's body was filled with the Nine Heavens Essence Qi, which eventually flowed into his inner world.

Hum! The Great Dao Tree glowed.

Under the infusion of the Nine Heavens Essence Qi, the Great Dao Tree radiated with light, and Qin Zheng's inner world expanded with a resounding hum as the tree grew.

The white-robed youth's figure gradually became transparent and faded away.

But in the final moment, he spoke, "My name is Bai Yu. What's your name is Bai Yu. What's your name?"

Qin Zheng, whose mind was focused on the outside world, replied instantly, "Qin Zheng!"

As his words fell.

The white-robed youth smiled and nodded.

Then, he completely disappeared before Qin Zheng.

At that moment, Qin Zheng's mind fully immersed himself in his own advancement and transformation.

Time passed slowly.

It felt like an instant, yet it also felt like ten thousand years.

When the Great Dao Tree finished absorbing the last trace of Nine Heavens Essence Qi and transformed into a towering tree, the advancement finally concluded.

Qin Zheng's mind remained focused on his inner world.

Seeing the significantly different Great Dao Tree, a joy filled his heart.

At this moment, the Great Dao Tree had one hundred and eight Great Dao leaves!

Previously, there were only twenty-seven Great Dao leaves on the tree!

In other words, in just a short moment, the Great Dao Tree had grown eighty-one new leaves!

This advancement was unprecedented!

Qin Zheng felt the surging power within him and clenched his fist, his joy intensifying.

The enhancement of his strength was not the only benefit.

One hundred and eight leaves from the Great Dao Tree.

This meant that at this moment, Qin Zheng could execute his ultimate technique one hundred and eight times!

Each strike could slay a Celestial Immortal, and with one hundred and eight strikes, he could annihilate one hundred and eight Celestial Immortals!

And that's not all!

As Qin Zheng's cultivation realm continued to rise, the techniques he honed using the Great Dao Tree would also become more powerful!

At this moment, gazing at the Great Dao Tree swaying within his Inner World, a sense of calm and solidity finally emerged in Qin Zheng's heart.

With such profound cultivation, even facing the seven top-tier Celestial Immortals of the Human Race, he would dare to engage them in battle!

Moreover, he had only passed the first level of the Nine Sun Supreme Tower, and there were still eight more levels to go!

If he could pass through all eight levels, he would undoubtedly undergo a tremendous transformation and enhancement.

Feeling the vastness of his Inner World, Qin Zheng's heart also understood that the time for his advancement to the Earth Immortal Realm was drawing near.

As his mind returned to the present.

What he saw.

The surroundings had already transformed.

Currently, he found himself in an immense and boundless palace, yet it was empty and devoid of any signs of life.

A figure clad in heavy armor, wielding a long spear, sat atop the highest seat in the palace.

He resembled both a king and a general, silently gazing down at Qin Zheng.

"Your speed is impressive."

As Qin Zheng's gaze met his.

He spoke calmly.

At the same time, he slowly rose from his seat.

Boom! Simultaneously, the aura around him surged like a volcanic eruption, rapidly reaching the pinnacle of the Human Immortal Realm and exuding an even more formidable pressure than the white-robed youth.

He continued calmly, "Throughout history, you are the second Human Race member to reach this place."

"Then let me see just how powerful you truly are!"

His words landed.

Instantly, his figure flashed from the highest point and appeared before Qin Zheng.

Swish! The black-gold long spear seemed like a raging dragon leaping from a gorge.

Amidst the howling wind, it pierced through the void, aiming straight for Qin Zheng's heart.

From the moment it appeared to the strike, Qin Zheng had no chance to speak.

However, facing this long spear, Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, without a hint of panic or disturbance.

He merely stretched out his hand at the instant the spear lunged forward.

Boom!!

In that moment.

A deafening boom reverberated within the vast palace.

In the Spirit Ruins.

Within a vast and lush forest.

Four figures moved cautiously.

"The Shenhua Sect, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, and the Nine Sun Immortal Sect—these three places are undoubtedly occupied by the Demon Race. Going there recklessly would be seeking death."

"Within our capabilities and reasonable range, we must avoid these three places to better find opportunities and survive!"

Qin Yue spoke solemnly, her light silk garment already torn, and her body bearing wounds of varying sizes.

Li Cangqiu nodded and said, "Of course. Opportunities are important, but being able to return alive is the most crucial!"

He paused for a moment and sighed, "If we hadn't left back then, we probably wouldn't have to worry about our safety now."

These four individuals were originally part of Gu Xuanji's team but chose to leave after Qin Zheng joined.

Hearing Li Cangqiu's words, a hint of regret flashed in Qin Yue's eyes.

The previous scene at the Spirit Ruins had been truly shocking to them.

The Demon Race member ranked ninth on the Celestial Talent Rankings had been directly punched to death by Qin Zheng! Such formidable strength—no wonder Gu Xuanji had become so excited upon seeing him and invited him to join.

Being able to punch to death the ninth-ranked Demon Race member on the Celestial Talent Rankings was likely no weaker than the top three on the rankings!

With such a formidable individual entering the Spirit Ruins, wherever there was an opportunity, he would go, without fearing any powerful Demon Race members!

"Enough! Talking about this is pointless!"

At this moment, the other two spoke up.

They were the first to take the initiative to leave, and their faces were devoid of any pride as they listened to their companions' words, feeling somewhat annoyed.

After a brief pause, they continued, "We should be able to reach the Wanling Lake soon."

"Let's see if we can pluck the Holy Spirit Fruit mentioned in the records, which is said to contain a strand of the Heavenly Dao Rules, aiding our advancement to the Celestial Immortal Realm!"

"If we can achieve the Celestial Immortal Realm here, even facing the Demon Race's top talents, we won't be the slightest bit flustered!"

"Then we can continue to explore the Shenhua Sect, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, and the Nine Sun Immortal Sect—these three places of opportunity!"

The more they spoke, the more excited they became.

This statement caused Li Cangqiu and Qin Yue's hearts to stir with excitement.

The four of them quickened their pace, and in a moment, they arrived at the center of the forest, where they found a deep and mysterious lake.

In the middle of the lake, there was an island with a small tree about one zhang tall, and on its branches hung nine large and ripe fruits.

Mysterious auras emanated from these nine fruits.

"Indeed, it's here!"

The four of them felt a surge of excitement.

The Spirit Ruins were filled with opportunities, and even if they lacked the strength to compete with the Demon Race for these chances in the ruins of the Nine Sun Immortal Sect, there were still rare treasures to be found outside the three great Immortal Sects.

Just as they were about to head to the island to pluck the Holy Spirit Fruits, a sound emerged from beneath the lake.

Gurgle~ Gurgle~

Like fish breaking through the water's surface, corpses that had been submerged in the lake began to rapidly float to the surface.

There were Human Race and Demon Race bodies!

Within a few breaths, the lake's surface was covered with corpses.

"Run!!"

Witnessing this scene, the four of them didn't hesitate and turned to flee.

At this moment, they realized that others had been here before, but all were killed and thrown into the lake.

But just as they turned around—

Whoosh! A black light flashed.

Four heads, filled with shock and anger, separated from their bodies and fell to the ground.

A man's figure appeared on the lakeshore.

His expression was cold, and he held a pitch-black longsword, resembling a ruthless Immortal Sword cultivator.

However, his body was filled with an extremely dense Demon Aura.

"Ninety-seven."

Looking at the four headless corpses on the ground, he spoke calmly.

Whoosh! The lake's waters surged, and a tall Demon Race emerged, walking out from within.

"Excellent! Four Human Race Earth Immortals!"

"The Dao's essence is enough for us to advance our Ten Thousand Demon Art to the next stage!"

After he finished speaking, the Demon cultivator, resembling a swordsman, said coldly, "I never expected that the Ten Thousand Demon Art of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect would be so suitable for our Demon Race cultivation."

"By directly devouring others' Dao essence and transforming it into our own foundation, this Ten Thousand Demon Art alone is enough to rival all the opportunities of the other two sects!"

"It's no wonder we rushed straight to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, following the records left by our predecessors, striving to obtain this opportunity!"

"Once we advance our Ten Thousand Demon Art to the next level, we'll start devouring everything in this Spirit Ruins, swallowing gods and Buddhas alike!"

"Above us are the Dragon Palace, Phoenix Nest, Immortal Mountain, and the Human Race, all of which we'll devour!"

"By then, we'll be able to push the Ten Thousand Demon Art to an extremely high level!"

"Perhaps at that time, we'll be able to reach the threshold of Demon Deities and become the eighth and ninth Demon Deities of the Demon Emperor Palace!"

After he finished speaking, the tall Demon cultivator from the lake had eyes that were filled with excitement, and he burst into loud laughter.

Subsequently, the two Demon cultivators exchanged a glance and began to channel their Demon Arts.

In an instant, black auras emerged from behind them, like misty tendrils, covering the four corpses on the ground.

Gurgle~ Gurgle~

Sounds of swallowing echoed across the lake.

The Spirit Ruins were vast and boundless.

But at this moment, wherever there were opportunities, conflicts arose.

Human Race and Demon Race, all those who had entered the Spirit Ruins were like hungry ghosts, frantically seeking chances to satisfy their cravings.

Just then—

A loud rumble suddenly echoed.

A heaven-piercing light pillar appeared between heaven and earth.

The size of this light pillar allowed everyone in the Spirit Ruins to see it clearly.

And with this change, all the Human Race and Demon Race cultivators withdrew their minds and turned their gazes towards the source of the light pillar.

Shenhua Sect's territory.

A Dragon Girl with horns on her head was looking at the light pillar, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Is that the Nine Sun Immortal Sect?"

She seemed to have realized something and her expression turned solemn. "The heaven-piercing light pillar! Someone has left their name on that Nine Sun Supreme Tower!"
