Chapter 3506 The Way of Heaven and Earth: Different Paths Lead to the Same Destination

The Azure Hidden Domain is a mid-level immortal domain.

The Immortal Emperor's Boundless Scripture emphasizes gathering the fortune of all people into oneself, thereby attaining enlightenment and breaking through realms.

In such mid-level immortal realms, the number of cultivators is naturally astonishing.

Furthermore, the Great Qin Celestial Court had just destroyed the Great Xia Celestial Court not long ago, and had swept away the two major forces with lightning speed, so its prestige had reached an unprecedented peak.

This is the time when the fortunes of all people are at their peak, and it is naturally extraordinary.

one year later.

Thick, ominous clouds covered the sky, causing all the cultivators of the Great Qin Immortal Court to feel alarmed.

They looked up at the calamity clouds that seemed to obscure the entire capital, their faces filled with horror.

"Heavenly disaster!"

"This kind of aura is definitely not something an ancient immortal tribulation could possess; this is an immortal emperor tribulation—"

"Is His Majesty about to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm?"

Many cultivators serving in the Celestial Court are now deeply shaken.

To normally break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, one should first witness the appearance of Immortal Emperor phenomena, and then gradually go into seclusion to break through the formation, thus attracting the Heavenly Tribulation to descend upon the world.

but.

Gu Xuanji's breakthrough was achieved without any extraordinary phenomena of an Immortal Emperor; the tribulation clouds appeared abruptly, as if everything had come to fruition naturally.

As for why they concluded that the person who broke through was Gu Xuanji, the reason is quite simple.

The entire Qin Dynasty.

Only this one is a half-step Immortal Emperor.

Only this person has the qualifications to break through to the Immortal Emperor level.

as predicted.

As the tribulation clouds appeared, a great Dao within the imperial palace shook the void, and a figure tore through the void and emerged, instantly stepping into the Ninth Heaven and entering the chaos.

……

"Celestial Emperor Tribulation!"

In the chaos, Gu Xuanji looked at the approaching heavenly tribulation. The destructive aura did not frighten him; instead, his eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit.

He has been practicing Buddhism for many years.

Now we have finally taken this step.

Gu Xuanji was fully prepared.

"boom!"

The long-brewing tribulation clouds trembled, and suddenly a world-destroying heavenly tribulation crashed down.

The power of this heavenly tribulation is comparable to that of a half-step Immortal Emperor.

But for Gu Xuanji, this level of heavenly tribulation naturally posed little threat.

He didn't even use any treasures; he simply threw a punch and shattered the first heavenly tribulation.

soon.

Then the second and third heavenly tribulations appeared.

Later on, Gu Xuanji did feel some pressure, but that was all.

As a top-tier inheritance of immortal emperors, the Immortal Emperor's Boundless Scripture is naturally far more profound than any other inheritance.

Despite the terrifying nature of the Immortal Emperor Tribulation, it was powerless against Gu Xuanji.

As the final tribulation dissipated, a powerful aura surged from Gu Xuanji's body, instantly sweeping out in all directions.

Many powerful figures who sensed the fluctuations in the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation and rushed to the scene had a flicker in their eyes when they saw this, but none of them made a move.

If Gu Xuanji's tribulation was a near-death experience, then they would definitely intervene.

After all, dealing with a Celestial Emperor who has just survived a heavenly tribulation and is in a weakened state is undoubtedly much easier.

No matter what.

Gu Xuanji showed no signs of weakness from beginning to end.

It is evident that such beings possess profound foundations, and once they overcome the Immortal Emperor Tribulation, their strength will be unmatched by ordinary newly promoted Immortal Emperors.

They would not want to offend a powerful figure of this level unless absolutely necessary.

……

Qingyin Domain.

Within the Great Qin Immortal Court, Gu Xuanji's return after attaining enlightenment naturally invigorated the entire court and the public.

With a Celestial Emperor presiding over it, the strength of the Great Qin Dynasty will reach a new level.

Among the many mid-level immortal realms, only a handful of forces truly have an Immortal Emperor presiding over them, and each of these forces is a top-tier existence.

The stronger the Great Qin Celestial Court becomes, the more benefits those who depend on Great Qin will naturally receive.

now.

Inside the Imperial Palace's Celestial Hall.

Tantai Feng stood there respectfully, and the person in front of him was naturally Gu Xuanji.

"I have something I need you to do."

"Your Majesty, please give your orders!"

"My offspring in the lower realm have now ascended to the upper realm and are currently in the Xuan Tian Dao Sect in the Divine Heaven Domain. You shall lead the Sky Patrol Guards to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect and bring them back."

Gu Xuanji spoke slowly.

He had already received the news when Gu Xing ascended to the upper realm, but he had not taken any action. The main reason for this was that the situation in Qingyin Domain had not been stabilized.

The situation in this immortal realm is unstable, so sending Gu Xing here would be of no use.

But now that the Great Qin has eliminated the other three major forces and become the overlord of the Qingyin Domain, and he himself has stepped into the Immortal Emperor Realm, it is only right to bring Gu Xing back.

Gu Xuanji also valued his offspring highly.

After all, this was his own bloodline, and his only descendant to ascend to the upper realm.

Furthermore.

The fact that Gu Xing was able to ascend from the lower realm is enough to show that he has good cultivation aptitude.

If they could be trained properly, it would certainly be of great benefit to the Qin Dynasty.

Typhoon Tan was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered and hurriedly bowed his head in response.

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Remember, this journey across the Immortal Continent is bound to be risky. Be careful in everything you do, and don't make any mistakes!"

Gu Xuanji gave a word of advice.

He was well aware of the risks of crossing the Immortal Continent.

When the Great Qin Dynasty first entered Tai Xuan Prefecture from Shenfeng Prefecture, it paid a heavy price.

However, the Qin Dynasty's Immortal Court relocated its entire court, which caused quite a stir and attracted a lot of attention.

This time, only Typhoon Tan was allowed to lead the Sky Patrol, so the target was not too big.

Moreover, Tan Taifeng has always been cautious in his actions, so Gu Xuanji felt quite at ease with the other party's involvement.

After Typhoon Tantai withdrew, Gu Xuanji went into seclusion to cultivate.

He has just broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, and his cultivation foundation is not yet consolidated, so he cannot afford to be careless.

This is also why Gu Xuanji did not personally go to the Divine Heaven Domain.

of course.

There is another reason.

That is because the Great Qin Celestial Court had just taken over the Qingyin Domain, and everything was still unstable.

If I, as the ruler of the Celestial Court, were to leave, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the Great Qin Dynasty.

the other side.

Upon receiving the order, Tantai Feng quickly and secretly mobilized three thousand elite Sky Patrol Guards, heading straight for the Divine Heaven Domain without alerting anyone else.

He dared not be careless in the face of Gu Xuanji's orders.

After all, since this Heavenly Emperor founded the Great Qin Dynasty, he had not taken any concubines, nor had he left any offspring.

Now that the other party has offspring from the lower realm, it is very likely that he will be the future crown prince of the Great Qin Celestial Court.

What's more.

The fact that the future crown prince was able to ascend from the lower realm shows that he has exceptional talent for cultivation. Such a person may one day have the hope of reaching the Immortal Emperor realm.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Typhoon Tambun should be treated with caution.

……

The movements of the Great Qin Celestial Court.

Shen Changqing had no idea.

However, he was fully aware of the news that Gu Xuanji had undergone tribulation and attained enlightenment.

To be honest, Shen Changqing was also quite surprised when he first received the news.

After all, Gu Xuanji has only cultivated for a few years, at most two million years.

and.

The opponent did not possess a supreme treasure like the Seven Profound Divine Tower, yet he was able to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm in such a short time.

"It seems that person also has a great opportunity!"

Shen Changqing pondered to himself.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why Gu Xuanji was able to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm in such a short time.

After all, in terms of aptitude, Shen Changqing believed that he possessed an innate immortal body and was truly at the top level.

Apart from a few exceptional individuals with extraordinary celestial bodies who possess advantages in cultivation that are difficult for ordinary people to match, other prodigies, even those with the same innate celestial body, are inferior to me in cultivation.

But even so.

It took Shen Changqing tens of millions of years to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

He certainly wouldn't believe that Gu Xuanji could attain the Immortal Emperor realm in less than two million years based on his own talent.

but.

Although Shen Changqing guessed that Gu Xuanji possessed a great opportunity, he wasn't particularly tempted.

There are many opportunities in the world, and it is not surprising that there are opportunities that can help people break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Moreover, at his level, let alone the opportunity of an Immortal Emperor, even the opportunity of a regular Half-Saint wouldn't be of much concern to Shen Changqing.

to him.

Breaking through to the Half-Saint realm is no longer a big problem.

What truly prevents one from breaking through is the limitation imposed by the laws of nature.

Whenever the path to immortality is revealed, Shen Changqing is confident that he can instantly become a semi-saint.

Therefore, he was not tempted by the slight opportunity to become an Immortal Emperor.

"Gu Xuanji has broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, and now the Sky Patrol Guards are also secretly setting out, which must be for Gu Xing!"

Shen Changqing saw the message sent privately by the acquired demon god within the Xingdao Alliance and understood the situation.

This demonstrates the intelligence capabilities of the Xingdao Alliance.

Even though the Great Qin Celestial Court had been keeping a low profile, it couldn't escape the eyes of the Xingdao Alliance.

After glancing at the Mirror of All Heavens, Shen Changqing continued to meditate and comprehend the Dao.

Unlike his secluded cultivation in the Seven Mysterious Divine Tower, his current cultivation in the Nourishing Heart Residence allows him to more clearly perceive the Dao of Heaven and Earth, observe the changes of the sun, moon, and stars, and feel a myriad of profound mysteries welling up in his heart.

The great principles of heaven and earth, though different in their paths, ultimately lead to the same goal and are essentially no different.

Whether it's the way of killing, the way of defense, or even the way of crafting and alchemy, they all essentially belong to the way of heaven and earth.

and so.

Shen Changqing's current observation of the Way of Heaven and Earth is, in fact, a verification of his own Way.

Whether it's his understanding of the Immortal Execution Sword Scripture, or his mastery of the Dao of Weapons and the Dao of Alchemy, there seem to be some subtle changes now.

This change is not significant.

But Shen Changqing wasn't in a hurry.

Enlightenment is never something that can be achieved overnight, and so-called sudden enlightenment is not something that can be achieved simply by wanting to.

All sudden insights are based on a sufficiently solid foundation of one's past accumulation.

Only under such circumstances, at a special moment, can one suddenly gain numerous insights, and all the accumulated knowledge and understanding from the past become integrated at this moment, leading to a significant improvement in strength.

and so.

What Shen Changqing is doing now is this process of accumulation.

Especially in terms of tools and equipment.

He's already halfway into the eighth level, but he still needs a catalyst to truly break through.

As for how long it will take to seize this opportunity, that depends on one's own fate.

It is absolutely impossible to force something.
