Chapter 3501 An Alternative Path to Sainthood

In the lingering traces of time, Shen Changqing saw the original scene of the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal.

The true dragon cried out in sorrow.

Dragon blood fell into the celestial realm of the Nine Heavens.

Later, this dragon blood merged into a divine mine, and after undergoing the changes of time and the ages, it received all kinds of creations and finally transformed into the Nine Dragon Immortal Seal.

Later, when the most precious treasure appeared, it attracted many powerful figures to fight over it.

then.

The Nine Dragons Immortal Seal fell into the void rift, causing many powerful figures to suffer defeat and return empty-handed.

finally.

This Nine Dragons Immortal Seal was fortunately obtained by a low-level cultivator, who used this supreme treasure to gradually ascend to the Immortal Emperor realm and establish the Great Evolution Immortal Court.

The images are not complete, but rather incomplete.

However, even from the traces left by time, Shen Changqing could understand the true origin of the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal.

"The dragon blood was incorporated into the divine mine, and after undergoing the transformation of heaven and earth, it became a top-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact. It is evident that the existence that left behind such dragon blood must have been extremely powerful!"

Shen Changqing's expression was slightly solemn.

After all.

Although that divine ore was extraordinary, it was not yet at the level to transform into a top-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact.

The main reason lies in that drop of dragon blood.

Blood of the true dragon.

This is the fundamental reason why this precious treasure came into being.

however.

If a single drop of a dragon's blood already possesses such divine power, then its true strength is probably unmatched by ordinary half-saints.

It could be a saint, or even a higher being.

But those years have passed for who knows how many years, and some things are difficult to understand in depth.

But no matter what.

Shen Changqing now understands the origin of the Great Yan Immortal Court.

"In the past, a lowly cultivator obtained a supreme treasure through a fortuitous encounter, eventually establishing an ancient immortal court. In that sense, the first Heavenly Emperor of the Great Evolution Immortal Court could be considered a chosen one in a certain sense!"

after all.

The fact that the person obtained such a treasure by chance and ultimately reached this point is enough to demonstrate their extraordinary luck.

But unfortunately.

Ultimately, the opponent failed to break through to the Half-Saint realm and enter the realm of immortality.

Shen Changqing shook his head and stopped thinking about it, then began to comprehend the Daoist power within the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal.

as well as--

The drop of blood left behind by the ancient dragon.

Although this dragon blood has been completely fused with the divine ore to become the current Nine Dragon Immortal Seal, its dragon blood power has not truly dissipated.

Shen Changqing's divine sense entered the fragment of the immortal seal, and he could feel the powerful pressure brought by the dragon blood.

To save time.

Shen Changqing set up a restriction outside Yangxin Residence, and then went directly into the Seven Profound Divine Tower to comprehend it.

With his current perspective as a top-tier seventh-level grandmaster, and his experience in refining innate imperial weapons, comprehending the profound Daoist principles on the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal is not a difficult task.

The first layer of space represents only ten thousand years of the past.

Shen Changqing had already thoroughly grasped the mysteries of the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal, which made his accumulation at the end of the seventh level even more powerful.

Although this one point change is not enough for him to truly break through to the eighth level.

But every bit of accumulation lays the foundation for breaking through to the eighth level in the future.

Once this accumulation reaches its peak, breaking through to the eighth rank will be a natural outcome when the opportunity arises.

Any top-tier seventh-tier grandmaster who wants to break through to the eighth tier relies on gradual accumulation until they reach a certain critical point, only then can they truly have the possibility of breaking through to the eighth tier.

the difference is.

Not every top-tier seventh-tier grandmaster can reach the end of the seventh tier and then accumulate enough strength to break through to the eighth tier.

After all.

Everyone's comprehension is different, and time is also limited.

A Celestial Emperor's lifespan of 10 billion years may seem long, but it is not truly immortal. Balancing cultivation and weapon crafting is naturally not an easy task.

It is extremely rare for someone like Shen Changqing to reach the limit of the Immortal Emperor in such a short period of time.

Even without the Seven Profound Divine Tower, based on his comprehension and aptitude, he would still be among the truly top-tier beings in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

after all--

So far.

Shen Changqing is only 90 million years old.

Even among some ancient immortal clans, the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, which is less than 100 million years old, is extremely rare.

……

As he thoroughly comprehended the Daoist principles of the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal.

Shen Changqing then spent time trying to extract the dragon blood from the Nine Dragon Immortal Seal little by little.

Time slips away slowly.

One hundred thousand years later.

The first layer of void suddenly trembled.

An aura of vast antiquity and profound weight manifested itself, and a drop of blood, seemingly cast in gold, slowly emerged.

As the blood appeared, the divine light of the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal fragments dimmed at a visible speed, and in no time, it lost its power.

Shen Changqing paid no attention to the changes in the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal.

to him.

A broken, top-grade Emperor-level artifact is of little significance.

Without the support of dragon blood, the original divine mine of the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal was only average. The reason it became a top-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact was largely due to the former.

and so.

Dragon blood is extracted.

The fragments of the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal have lost their former divine power and can only be considered ordinary ninth-order divine ore.

Shen Changqing's attention is now focused on the dragon blood in front of him.

A single drop of dragon blood exuded a terrifying, abyssal aura of pressure.

"True dragon blood!"

"They are at least at the saint level!"

Shen Changqing took a deep breath. Even after hundreds of millions of years, the pressure of such blood was still extremely astonishing.

He had seen a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint before, but that was nothing compared to the aura before him.

Although this blood is only a drop from a true dragon, the level of life within it is unmatched by any demigod.

"It is said that dragon blood has the miraculous effect of transforming the body's essence and marrow. If I can refine this level of true dragon blood, it might be able to further improve my physical body!"

Shen Changqing's expression was somewhat fervent as he looked at the dragon blood before him, and a strong thought arose in his mind.

Swallow it!
This is an immense opportunity for me!
Once the thought arises, it's hard to suppress.

The blood of powerful living beings has countless wonderful uses.

Beings like true dragons possess extraordinary blood.

Moreover, the true dragons that left behind this blood were at least at the level of saints, and their blood was far superior to that of ordinary dragons.

Think of this.

Shen Changqing followed his heart and swallowed the dragon blood directly.

Dragon's blood entered his stomach.

As a terrifying power erupted, a deafening dragon roar seemed to resound in Shen Changqing's sea of ​​consciousness, and the terrifying power of the Dao penetrated into every inch of his flesh, skin, and even his immortal bones.

Yi Jin Fa Sui!

This wasn't the first time Shen Changqing had done something like this.

However, the changes brought about by refining the dragon blood this time are completely incomparable to those of the past.

Dragon blood flowed through the flesh and blood, transforming into countless true dragons that penetrated every inch of the flesh and blood. The vast and domineering power continuously tempered the body, causing some mysterious changes to gradually occur.

This process of transforming tendons and marrow is naturally accompanied by excruciating pain that is difficult for ordinary people to endure.

But for Shen Changqing, this level of excruciating pain was nothing to worry about.

Compare.

When refining dragon blood, the lingering remnants of the true dragon are actually more troublesome.

If it were dragon blood from its prime, the lingering resentment of the true dragon within it would not be so easy for Shen Changqing, with his current cultivation level, to suppress it.

However, after the passage of time, the remnant of the true dragon has been greatly weakened and is no longer comparable to its heyday.

Furthermore, Shen Changqing's soul had already reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm when he cultivated the True Meaning Forging Technique.

Thus.

Although the lingering resentment of the True Dragon is terrifying, it is not a great threat.

As time went by, the power of the dragon's blood was gradually worn away.

After the last bit of power dissipated, Shen Changqing focused his mind on his body. He saw that the blood and qi in his body were becoming more and more intense, and his original Star Jade Bones now seemed to have gained a mysterious and domineering aura.

Shen Changqing merely activated his Qi and blood, and a powerful force arose spontaneously from his flesh and bones.

Punch out.

The void is in turmoil.

In the void of the first layer of space before us, a storm seemed to erupt and sweep across billions of miles before gradually subsiding.

"My physical strength has increased by at least 30%, but I haven't truly reached the level of a half-saint yet!"

Shen Changqing observed the effects of the punch and gained a clear understanding of the changes within himself.

Having mastered the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture and the Primordial Star Domain Scripture, he elevated his physical body to the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Everyone's ultimate goal is different.

Shen Changqing's ultimate achievement is the height that other Immortal Emperors can reach. It is precisely because of this that he was able to achieve a level comparable to a Half-Saint, and even suppress ordinary Half-Saints, while still being an Immortal Emperor.

We've reached this level.

Logically speaking, it's unlikely that Shen Changqing's physical body can make any further breakthroughs.

At least.

That is true for the present situation.

After all, the two body-refining techniques that Shen Changqing currently possesses only allow him to reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm. It would be extremely difficult for him to truly advance his physical body to the Half-Saint level.

But now——

While refining this dragon blood, Shen Changqing suddenly discovered that his physical body, which should have reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm, had undergone some changes.

This change is a transformation towards the level of a demigod.

If.

If Shen Changqing's original physical body was at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm...

At this moment, he has one foot in the realm of a half-saint.

If one could obtain some further opportunities, then one's physical body could truly reach the level of a half-saint.

"Physical Achievement!"

Such a thought popped into Shen Changqing's mind.

Think about this.

He seemed to have also seen another path, a different way to achieve sainthood.

The great calamity has not yet arrived.

Immortality is not apparent.

Although his cultivation level was difficult to break through to the Half-Saint realm, he was able to seize the opportunity to transform his physical body and break through the shackles of the Immortal Emperor ahead of others.

Reaching that point can be considered a physical ascension to sainthood.

Immediately.

As soon as Shen Changqing had a thought, he saw a sea of ​​blood appear before him.

This sea of ​​blood is none other than what remained after he slew the essence of the flesh and blood of that half-saint level chaotic beast.

originally.

Shen Changqing left behind the blood of such ferocious beasts in preparation for future alchemy.

But in this situation, he wanted to try and see if refining the blood of this ferocious beast would allow his physical body to complete the final step of transformation.
