Chapter 3502 A familiar figure

Bathing in beast's blood!

Tempering the body—

Shen Changqing's pores seemed to be fully opened, and a large amount of pure beast blood power surged into his body, tempering every inch of his flesh and skin.

as time flows.

The sea of ​​blood shrank at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Shen Changqing's aura was also subtly increasing.

Only when the sea of ​​blood is completely depleted will this cultivation be considered truly over.

"Or not!"

Shen Changqing felt the changes within himself and couldn't help but shake his head.

After refining the dragon blood, his physical body was already halfway to the level of a half-saint.

At this moment, he has refined the remaining beast blood, but it has only slightly improved his physical body. Let alone breaking through to the half-saint realm, it is not easy to even take a step forward on the existing basis.

This improvement is not negligible, but it is extremely minor.

"It seems that achieving the status of a half-saint through physical means is not such an easy thing!"

Shen Changqing sighed.

Even the blood of a half-saint level chaotic beast couldn't help his physical body take that final half-step, or even improve it by a negligible amount. This shows just how difficult it is for the physical body to break through to the half-saint realm.

But this also shows just how powerful that drop of blood left in the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal is.

The effect of that drop of blood was far beyond what that chaotic beast could achieve.

If he could obtain some of that true dragon's blood, Shen Changqing believed that breaking through to the semi-saint realm with his physical body would be no problem at all.

but--

The blood of such beings is not so easily obtained.

As for the blood of ordinary semi-saint level beasts, the improvement they bring is limited.

Judging from the current cultivation situation, even the blood of ten or eight chaotic beasts of the same level would not allow his physical body to break through to the level of a half-saint.

In this regard.

Shen Changqing had no choice but to abandon his original plan.

Achieving semi-sainthood through physical means.

It requires a matter of timing and opportunity.

Obtaining the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal was one of the opportunities within it.

Subsequently.

Shen Changqing then emerged from seclusion.

In total, his seclusion lasted for a little over a thousand years, which is not a very long time.

Yangxinju (养心居) is located within the residence.

Shen Changqing sat upright, his gaze fixed on the void, his expression subtle.

"With the emergence of the Chaos Palace, who knows when this turmoil will end!"

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he seemed to sense something and couldn't help but look towards where Danfeng was.

next interest.

Shen Changqing's figure disappeared.

……

Danfeng.

Under the Enlightenment Tree.

The Ascension Altar has stood here for millions of years, and despite the passage of time, it has been difficult to leave any trace on it.

suddenly.

The Daoist spirit surged forth.

A divine light emanated from the Great Dao, and then a figure appeared out of thin air.

When he saw that figure, Shen Changqing was slightly taken aback, as if he was somewhat surprised, but he quickly calmed down.

at the same time.

Such a commotion naturally caused a stir among the people of Danfeng.

Not long after.

Ji Yang, Gu Qingyang, and others arrived one after another.

When they saw Shen Changqing, they all greeted him with utmost respect.

"I've met Master!"

"Ah."

Shen Changqing nodded slightly, his gaze remaining fixed on the Ascension Altar. At this moment, Ji Yang and the others also turned their attention to the Ascension Altar.

They were also familiar with the existence of this altar.

This is because it was personally crafted by Shen Changqing to communicate with the original microcosm in which the other party resided.

As a Dao Venerable in his previous life, Ji Yang was well aware of such methods.

"It seems that another cultivator in Master's microcosm has reached the Ancient Immortal Realm!"

He looked somewhat surprised.

It's not surprising that cultivators from lower realms ascend to immortality.

But here's the thing.

Beyond the chaos lies a universe of billions of tiny particles.

The so-called number of hundreds of millions actually means infinity.

Even ancient sages and Dao Venerables did not know exactly how many microcosms existed.

Given the sheer number of microcosms, there must be quite a few cultivators capable of ascending to the upper realms.

However, if we consider it from the perspective of a tiny universe, the fact is that it is definitely not that easy for an ascendant to emerge.

In most microcosms, even after tens of millions of years, not a single ascendant may emerge.

after all.

Breaking through in the Ancient Immortal Realm is no easy feat.

The cultivation environment in the lower realm is incomparable to that in the upper realm.

With the same aptitude, it is easy to break through to the Ancient Immortal realm in the Upper Realm, but the difficulty of reaching the Ancient Immortal realm in the Lower Realm is at least ten times greater.

According to what Ji Yang learned from Gu Qingyang and others, including them, there are a total of six ascendants in this microcosm.

These six.

There are still clues to be found.

It might even be more than just six digits.

Judging from the current commotion at the Ascension Altar, this is the seventh known Ascended Being.

Ji Yang was also somewhat shocked by this situation.

In a tiny universe, seven people have ascended to immortality in just two million years, which is enough to show that this universe has abundant fortune; otherwise, it would be difficult to nurture so many powerful individuals.

But when he thought that Shen Changqing also came from this universe, Ji Yang quickly felt relieved.

Only this kind of universe exists.

Only then can a powerhouse of Shen Changqing's caliber emerge.

at this time.

As the divine aura of the Great Dao dissipated, the figure within the Ascension Altar truly revealed itself.

When they saw that figure, both Gu Qingyang and Minghe's expressions changed slightly.

"Ancient Heavenly Emperor!"

The person on the ascension altar was none other than Gu Xing, the Heavenly Emperor of the Eternal Immortal Court.

The other person was dressed in a black imperial robe with flowing Daoist charm, and his eyes had a restrained divine light. However, when he saw Gu Qingyang, there was a clear hint of surprise on his face.

But soon.

Gu Xing's expression returned to calm.

"Lord Gu!"

He saw Minghe standing to the side, and finally looked at Shen Changqing, then cupped his hands and said.

"Sect Master Ming, Emperor Ziwei!"

Shen Changqing smiled faintly: "Congratulations to the Ancient Heavenly Emperor on his ascension to the Upper Realm!"

……

Yangxinju (养心居) is located within the residence.

Gu Xing listened to Shen Changqing's words, his expression complex.

"I never imagined that the situation in the Upper Realm would be so complex, and I never imagined that Emperor Ziwei... Fellow Daoist Shen, you have already established such a foundation in less than two million years since you ascended to the Upper Realm!"

From Shen Changqing's words, Gu Xing finally gained some understanding of the situation in the Upper Realm and realized where he was now.

Don't underestimate the Xuan Tian Dao Sect just because it's only a mid-level immortal realm. Its strength is many times greater than that of the Eternal Immortal Court.

Several Celestial Emperors!

There are no fewer than three digits of ancient immortals!
This is the current foundation of the Xuantian Dao Sect.

Looking at the Eternal Immortal Court, although there are some Immortal Kings, strictly speaking, he is the only one who has stepped into the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Gu Xing naturally understood the power of the Xuantian Dao Sect.

I understand that too.

Although the Eternal Immortal Court is the number one power in all the universes, if one were to leave the universes and truly enter the Upper Realm, it would only be considered second-rate.

"The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm has existed for countless ages. The powerful beings here are as numerous as the stars. Above the Immortal Emperor, there are Half-Saints who have reached the pinnacle of immortality, and even Saints who are at an even higher level!"

Although the Xuantian Dao Sect is powerful, it is nothing special in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Shen Changqing smiled calmly. Although they hadn't seen each other for two million years and their identities and cultivation levels were different, he didn't put on any airs.

Some friendships will not change with changes in cultivation level or status.

Talk about it.

Shen Changqing and Gu Xing had a very close relationship.

"I wonder what the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's next plans are?"

"Let's not use the title 'Heavenly Emperor' anymore. I have now ascended to the Upper Realm and have relinquished the position of Heavenly Emperor. If the Ziwei Emperor doesn't mind, you can simply call me 'fellow Daoist'."

In this regard.

Shen Changqing was speechless, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Fellow Daoist, that's good too.

Let it be the Heavenly Emperor.

They're just names.

Subsequently.

Shen Changqing asked, "What are your plans, Fellow Daoist Gu?"

"The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is vast. To be honest, I don't have any plans for the time being. I originally thought that if I could step into the Ancient Immortal Realm, I would at least have some means to settle down and make a living in the Upper Realm."

But now it seems I underestimated the Upper Realm!

Gu Xing shook his head, his expression filled with emotion.

Without truly stepping into the upper realm, one can never truly understand the vastness of this place.

What I saw and heard in the past now seems like nothing more than a frog in a well.

The Ancient Immortal Realm is considered top-tier in the lower realm, a realm capable of ascension. However, in the upper realm, it is merely a so-so existence.

It's impossible to say there's absolutely no difference in status or strength.

"Oh right, there's something I almost forgot!"

Shen Changqing suddenly thought of something and spoke up.

"What's the matter?"

Gu Xing's expression shifted slightly.

Shen Changqing said, "I found the reincarnation of the Qin Emperor in the Upper Realm. Moreover, the Qin Emperor has regained his past memories and established the Great Qin Immortal Court in Tai Xuan Prefecture of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm."

Now that Fellow Daoist Gu has ascended to immortality, this news should rightfully be known to the Emperor Qin!

"Qin Emperor—"

Gu Xing's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression changed drastically. The composure he had cultivated over the years was now in turmoil.

Even his voice trembled slightly when he spoke.

"What Sect Master Shen is talking about... could it be... could it be Father Emperor?!"

"Not bad!"

Seeing Shen Changqing nod in response, Gu Xing felt his mind suddenly explode, leaving him stunned.

Ancient, long-forgotten memories are now gradually emerging.

In his more than two million years of cultivation, that memory was extremely brief, and the time it took up was negligible.

but--

Such a brief memory, yet it remains etched in Gu Xing's mind.

However, this memory had been buried deep in his mind all along, and he rarely recalled it.

But now, Shen Changqing's words have brought back these long-buried memories, causing Gu Xing's Dao heart to falter.

Seeing that Gu Xing's aura was unstable, Shen Changqing did not say anything to disturb him.

After all, it would be difficult for anyone to remain calm after hearing about these things.

A long time passed.

After being overwhelmed by the news and the ancient memories, Gu Xingcai slowly came to his senses, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his face.

"I lost my composure and made a fool of myself in front of Sect Master Shen."

"These things are human nature, and no one can escape them."

Shen Changqing shook his head, looked at Gu Xing in front of him, and then said.

"If Fellow Daoist Gu has any ideas, perhaps he could also make a trip to Tai Xuan Prefecture!"
