Chapter 356: Stepping into the Celestial Immortal Realm! An Invitation to Immortal Mountain (4k3)



Whoosh!

The Great Dao Tree swayed wildly.

Countless Great Dao leaves fell, transforming into rules and merging with the inner world.

At the same time, strands of Primordial Virtue emerged, seemingly infinite, continuously flowing into the inner world.

In this moment, Qin Zheng's inner world seemed to be filled with the golden light radiating from the Primordial Virtue.

Even the Great Dao Tree itself turned into a pure golden hue.

Correspondingly, the entire inner world emitted an even more powerful aura than before.

Qin Zheng, at this moment, seemed like a divine being, calmly observing his transformation while the essence of the Jade Purity Scripture's verses appeared in his mind.

【When the heavens and earth are perfected, the Dao begins, and the Dao Palace is formed to become Taiyi.】

In other words, only after the inner world is perfected can the cultivation of the Great Dao truly begin.

By forming the Dao Palace, one can ascend to Taiyi!

And at this moment, after consuming over twenty strands of Primordial Virtue, the Great Dao Tree had already grown to thirty zhang in size.

The fallen Great Dao leaves, transforming into rules and merging with the inner world, had already reached two thousand nine hundred.

Qin Zheng could feel that his inner world was about to become complete.

Now, just one step away, he could make the heavens and earth completely whole, stepping into the Celestial Immortal Realm!

These thoughts flashed through Qin Zheng's mind.

Then, he cleared his mind, focusing on the inner world while the thoughts in his heart spoke again, "Consume one strand of Primordial Virtue, enhance the Great Dao Tree!"

Buzz!

The Virtue Scroll trembled once more.

Instantly, a strand of Primordial Virtue, radiating surging golden light, emerged from the Virtue Scroll and then descended onto the Great Dao Tree.

In that instant.

The Great Dao Tree emanated dazzling brilliance and grew rapidly, visible to the naked eye, reaching thirty-three zhang!

The Great Dao leaves also fell off in an instant, a hundred of them, transforming into rules and merging with the inner world.

Three thousand Great Dao leaves, three thousand heavenly rules!

Rumble!

The inner world began to shake.

Then, an incredibly powerful force emerged from within, rushing towards Qin Zheng's limbs and bones.

The inner world metamorphosed, and the feedback force appeared once more!

Qin Zheng's physical body and spirit soared with this feedback force, rapidly ascending.

Simultaneously, he felt his cultivation level rising with this feedback force.

"The Dao that can be spoken of is not the constant Dao."

The Clear Purity Chapter of the Jade Purity Scripture suddenly resonated within the inner world.

Immediately.

The essence of the Jade Purity Scripture transformed into lines of text, floating around the Great Dao Tree.

Qin Zheng, while comprehending the transformation of his body, also observed the extraordinary phenomena within the inner world.

If his current advancement was due to the metamorphosis of the inner world.

Then, the extraordinary phenomena within the inner world were because of the Great Dao Tree's transformation!

Could this be the prelude to the formation of the Dao Palace? Qin Zheng wondered.

His heart stirred slightly, but he quickly cleared his mind, focusing solely on the changes in the Great Dao Tree.

Like the recitation of the Great Dao, a chant resonated within the inner world.

As the Great Dao Tree swayed, the sole Great Dao fruit began to radiate brilliance.

This Great Dao fruit, since its inception, had absorbed nearly forty strands of Primordial Virtue.

Finally, it showed signs of complete maturity!

Buzz!

Just then.

The Great Dao Tree shimmered with clear light.

The Clear Purity Chapter, the Jade Purity Scripture, and the various martial arts he had practiced, all surged into that Great Dao fruit.

Whoosh!

In an instant, an incredibly profound aura burst forth from the Great Dao fruit, sweeping in all directions!

Success?

Qin Zheng's eyes lit up.

Then.

A force, even more surging and overwhelming than before, rushed into his body.

Qin Zheng's expression changed, and he calmed his mind, exerting control over this force, slowly enhancing it.

The next moment.

Crack!

A sound of a barrier breaking reached Qin Zheng's ears.

Above the Celestial Immortal Realm!

These four words appeared in his heart.

After consuming nearly thirty strands of Primordial Virtue, perfecting the inner world, he finally broke through the Celestial Immortal Realm, stepping into the realm above!

Qin Zheng's mind, at this moment, was focused solely on the inner world, observing the Great Dao fruit.

Forming the Dao Palace to become Taiyi!

He wondered if he could ascend directly from the Celestial Immortal to Taiyi, depending on whether this Great Dao fruit would transform into his own!

Under his focused gaze.

This Great Dao fruit continued to emit a dense and profound aura.

But that was all, with no new changes occurring.

As time passed, the surging aura around the Great Dao fruit gradually subsided.

It seemed like the changes had halted.

Witnessing this, Qin Zheng didn't hesitate for a moment. He silently recited in his heart, "Consume a strand of Primordial Virtue to enhance the Great Dao Tree!"

If the nourishment wasn't sufficient, he would just add more! After all, he had plenty to spare, and a strand or two wouldn't make a difference.

As his thoughts fell, another strand of Primordial Virtue descended into the Great Dao Tree.

Buzz!

As the Primordial Virtue flowed into the Great Dao Tree, its aura intensified, but nothing else changed.

"Consume a strand of Primordial Virtue to enhance the Great Dao Tree!"

Immediately after, Qin Zheng silently recited again in his heart.

Strand after strand of Primordial Virtue continued to emerge.

Just like before, his inner world was soon bathed in the golden radiance emanating from the Primordial Virtue.

However, the growth of the Great Dao Tree was extremely slow compared to before, like a world of difference.

On the Great Dao Tree, the Dao Fruits emitted a faint glow, but there were no other changes.

The Primordial Virtue continued to be consumed.

One strand... two strands... three strands...

Eight strands... nine strands... ten strands...

When the Primordial Virtue on the Virtue Scroll was reduced to ten strands, the Great Dao Tree grew from thirty-three zhang to thirty-four zhang.

But there was still no change in the Dao Fruits.

Seeing this situation, Qin Zheng fell silent.

The consumption of the Primordial Virtue was far greater than he had anticipated! He had harvested seventy-three strands of Primordial Virtue this time.

Nearly thirty strands had been consumed, elevating him from Celestial Immortal to Above Celestial Immortal.

Now, after consuming over thirty strands, there was still no sign of progress, not even a hint of condensing the Dao Palace.

Not enough!

The Primordial Virtue was insufficient!

Given the current situation, even if he used all the remaining ten strands of Primordial Virtue to enhance the Great Dao Tree, it might not be enough to meet the conditions for condensing the Dao Palace! With this thought, Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly. After a moment's consideration, he withdrew his consciousness from his inner world.

Since the remaining ten strands of Primordial Virtue were insufficient to support the condensation of the Dao Palace, he decided to use them to repair the Sundering Immortal Sword Intent, strengthen his offensive abilities, and enhance his combat power! With this in mind, Qin Zheng's thoughts became clear, and he silently recited, "Consume a strand of Primordial Virtue to repair the Sundering Immortal Sword Intent!"

Buzz!

On the Sea of Consciousness, the Sundering Immortal Sword Intent hummed softly, seemingly delighted.

Time passed, and the great battle in the Spirit Ruins Realm had already ended over a month ago.

During this time, within the Nine Domains of the Human Race, a piece of news caused a stir.

Another Human Immortal emerged above the Celestial Immortal level! Moreover, this newly ascended Human Immortal, together with the Absolute Immortal Sword, engaged in a battle with the Seven Great Demon Deities of the Demon Race. Although the outcome of this battle was unknown, it was enough to excite and exhilarate the entire Human Race.

The Human Race had been oppressed by the Demon Race for far too many years! Although the emergence of the Absolute Immortal Sword had turned the tide, it could only resist the Seven Great Demon Deities by itself.

However, this only intimidated the Demon Race and weakened their invasion of the Human Realm.

The Demon Race was like a dark cloud hovering over the Human Realm, threatening every human who lived in this world.

And now, after a hundred thousand years, the Human Race had another Above Celestial Immortal! This meant that the Human Race's strength had significantly increased.

In the past, the Absolute Immortal Sword had to resist the Seven Great Demon Deities alone.

But now, with another Above Celestial Immortal, they could cooperate and initiate a grand battle with the Demon Deities!

Under these circumstances, the Human Race's situation would greatly improve, and the Demon Race could no longer act as arrogantly as before!

At the same time, the fact that another Human Immortal ascended to the Above Celestial Immortal level after a hundred thousand years also inspired all the humans, and they began to cultivate with renewed vigor.

The source of all these changes, the new Above Celestial Immortal of the Human Race, was currently seated in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Below him, on both sides, were groups of people.

H

Six top-tier humans sat on Qin Zheng's right.

Opposite them, six men and women in black robes sat, their auras all at the peak of Celestial Immortals.

"Why have you come to the Human Realm? What is your purpose?"

Qin Zheng toyed with a small vermillion sword in his hand as he spoke, breaking the silence in the hall.

"

"Secondly, it's an invitation from our Immortal Mountain's Ancestor, requesting your presence for a gathering."

The six individuals were indeed powerful members of the Qilin Clan from Immortal Mountain.

Qin Zheng nodded calmly.

While he didn't know much about Immortal Mountain, he could sense that this lineage held some goodwill towards the Human Race.

However, despite this goodwill, at this particular moment, he had managed to offend the Demon Race, the Dragon Palace, and the Phoenix Nest.

By inviting him to Immortal Mountain, weren't they afraid of stirring up discontent from these three powers? After all, although Immortal Mountain was independent of the Demon Race and considered itself a Divine Race, it was still closer to the Demon Race.

The previous invitation from the Dragon Palace and Phoenix Nest had been filled with malice.

So, Qin Zheng immediately said, "Not long ago, I caused quite a stir in the Demon Realm and even fought with two Ancestors from the Dragon Palace and Phoenix Nest."

"Aren't you afraid that inviting me will anger these three powers?"

Hearing this, the man smiled slightly and said, "Immortal Mountain doesn't care about what others think."

In other words, they didn't mind if they angered anyone.

Without pause, the man continued, "Our Ancestor said that even if we offend the Demon Race, the Dragon Palace, and the Phoenix Nest, it would be worth it if we could befriend the two of you from the Human Race!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, without a hint of emotion.

However, the several top-tier Human Race members below couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of their mouths, their hearts filled with joy.

Qin Zheng thought for a moment and turned his gaze towards a certain direction.

In an instant, his eyes traversed the endless distance and landed on a majestic divine mountain that soared into the clouds above the vast ocean.

Just as he was about to continue peering through the mountain and look inside.

Hum!

The divine mountain suddenly glowed with light, blocking his vision and preventing him from seeing the interior.

Immediately after, an aged voice, tinged with laziness, echoed out.

"If you're interested, why not come over for a detailed discussion?"

"I'm afraid that my humble abode won't impress you now."

Qin Zheng opened his mouth and said, "After the incident with the Dragon Palace and Phoenix Nest, I'm afraid you might be plotting with the others to set a trap for me."

His voice wasn't heard by the crowd in the hall, but it reached the distant divine mountain.

Upon hearing his words, a burst of laughter erupted from within the divine mountain, followed by a sigh, "If you had this concern a month ago, I could understand."

"But now, who in this Spirit Ruins Realm could pose a threat to you?"

Qin Zheng's heart slightly clenched.

A month ago, although he possessed the strength above the Celestial Immortal realm, his cultivation was still at the Celestial Immortal level.

Now, having truly stepped into the realm above Celestial Immortal, his strength had naturally undergone a tremendous transformation.

But how did this old man, so far away from the Human Race, know that he had advanced beyond the Celestial Immortal realm?

Immortal Mountain. Qilin Clan.

This clan had always kept a low profile, unlike the high-profile Dragon Palace and Phoenix Nest.

Now it seemed that this old man's strength might even surpass that of the two Ancestors from the Dragon Palace and Phoenix Nest!

So, Qin Zheng didn't waste time with pleasantries and asked directly, "Let's cut to the chase. Why did you invite me here? What do you want to discuss?"

The voice from within the divine mountain paused briefly.

Then, with a light laugh, it replied, "I've discovered a Void Spirit Realm where the Demon Race is about to break their seal."

"I'd like to discuss with you how to reseal or exterminate them!"

The voice paused slightly, then continued, "The Void Spirit Realm I found is not the one discovered by Wu Qingping."

Hearing these words, Qin Zheng's heart and mind slightly clenched, and he said, "Wait for me."

After speaking, his gaze instantly returned from the distant divine mountain to the hall of the city lord's mansion.

"Lord Qin Zheng?"

The man in the black robe asked.

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "I will personally go to Immortal Mountain, but it might be a bit later."

After speaking, he casually tossed the vermillion red small sword in his hand to the man in the black robe, and continued, "Take this sword and give it to your Ancestor."

The man in the black robe smiled slightly and said, "Okay." He reached out and took the vermillion red small sword.

In an instant.

Boom!

A terrifying force of annihilation flooded into his heart like a bursting dam, filling him with a sense of impending doom!

At this moment, the world fell silent, and only the long sword, radiating waves of murderous intent, remained in his line of sight.

But in the next moment.

Swoosh!

Everything returned to normal.

Sweat beaded on the man's forehead, and his face turned deathly pale as he looked at the youth in the golden-patterned dark robe before him.

"Go."

Qin Zheng spoke calmly.

This sword strike was to verify the truth of the old man's words.

If these powers had indeed joined forces to ambush him, then he could also test the strength of the restored Immortal Annihilating Sword Intent!
