Chapter 4010: The Opportunity Behind the Formation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Comprehending!

Shen Changqing walked through the Great Dao Heaven, constantly comprehending the opportunities presented by the Great Dao here.

He didn’t deliberately seek out the Great Sage’s Dao to comprehend; rather, he would study any Great Dao he could observe to perfect his own True Martial Dao.

Each Great Dao comprehension

deepened Shen Changqing’s aura.

This change wasn’t a transformation in strength, but a transformation in his own Dao heart.

It must be understood

that the three thousand Great Daos in the Great Dao Heaven were not simply pure Great Dao inheritances; they also contained the lingering wills of those fallen ancient powerhouses.

Anyone who comprehended such Great Daos would inevitably be impacted by these ancient lingering wills.

If one could overcome them,

one would gain something.

If one couldn’t,

one would be eroded by the Great Dao, ultimately becoming a Dao slave.

It could be said that

each comprehension was a tempering of one’s own Dao heart.

The more one comprehended ,

the more steadfast one’s Dao heart became!

Conversely, the weaker one became, the stronger one remained.

The principle of the strong always being strong was directly manifested here.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

As he comprehended yet another Great Dao, Shen Changqing stood motionless in the void, his aura surging violently, surrounded by a powerful Daoist charm.

A long time passed.

His aura gradually subsided,

and the Daoist charm faded away.

Shen Changqing exhaled a breath of turbid air, looked at the void before him, and shook his head slightly: “I cannot continue comprehending.

Too much is as bad as too little. Comprehending too many Great Daos is too chaotic and easily leads to losing oneself.

Now I must go into seclusion for a period of time, digesting all the Great Daos before I can proceed with further comprehension!”

The Three Thousand Great Daos!

They cannot be comprehended without restriction.

At least,

he cannot do so now.

If he comprehends them recklessly, the most serious consequence would be losing himself and being completely stuck at the Immortal Emperor realm.

This has nothing to do with his Dao heart.

Simply put,

if a person is full and forces themselves to continue eating, the only consequence is death from overeating; there is no other possibility.

Now—

Shen Changqing’s comprehension of numerous Great Daos is like this.

He is full!

Naturally, he needs to digest them.

Otherwise, the fate awaiting him is death from overeating.

However, seclusion couldn’t be done arbitrarily. Shen Changqing found a void, then set up an array, turning a hundred-mile radius into a forbidden zone.

Finally,

he stepped into it, summoned the Seven Profound Divine Tower, and entered the first level of space for seclusion.

Time within the Crimson Jade Dao Palace was limited; the best way to digest the power of the Great Dao was to utilize the Seven Profound Divine Tower’s hundredfold time flow.

Otherwise

, simply secluding oneself here would be of limited use.

…

As Shen Changqing set up the array for seclusion, a Daoist slowly approached, a slight smile on his face, completely ignoring the array’s existence.

However, when the Daoist stepped into the array and looked at the Seven Profound Divine Tower, his smile seemed to freeze, and a barely perceptible doubt appeared deep in his dull eyes.

As Dao slaves of the Great Dao Heaven, they possessed the ability to ignore all restrictions.

But now,

the Daoist before him couldn’t see anything amiss with the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

The other party lingered around the Seven Profound Divine Tower for a long time, then suddenly seemed to sense something and turned to leave.

Not long after this Dao slave left, other Dao slaves arrived.

Shen Changqing’s lingering aura was as dazzling as a lamp in the darkness. For the Dao slaves, discussing the Dao with outsiders, devouring their Dao hearts, and turning them into their own kind was an instinct etched deep within their souls.

But unfortunately,

the Dao slaves couldn’t see through the existence of the Seven Profound Divine Tower, nor did they have the qualifications to enter it.

The Great Dao Heaven granted them the ability to ignore restrictions, but this didn’t include the ability to ignore a treasure as supreme as the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

After all,

even a Dao Lord would find it difficult to discern the Seven Profound Divine Tower’s rank; a mere Dao slave was insignificant.

Even the Primordial Dao Venerable who created this Crimson Jade Dao Palace hadn’t reached the realm of a Dao Lord, let alone these Dao slaves.

However,

besides the Dao slaves,

other cultivators also appeared.

Such conspicuous array formations and restrictions were difficult for other cultivators to miss.

However, most cultivators, upon seeing these formations, turned and left without a word.

With their limited knowledge, they could see the power of this array; even ordinary top-tier Immortal Emperors would likely find it difficult to break.

The cultivator capable of setting up such an array was certainly not a simple person.

What if some powerful expert they couldn’t afford to offend was in seclusion inside? If they intruded, they would be in serious trouble.

However, some cultivators, unwilling to believe in such things, dared to try and break the array to investigate.

Unfortunately,

even some powerful top-tier Immortal Emperors failed to truly break the array’s restrictions.

Even some experts aiming for the Immortal Emperor’s Tablet spent three full days trying to break the array, ultimately returning empty-handed.

From then on,

the remaining cultivators abandoned any thought of breaking the array.

“Such a top-tier formation is perhaps only worthy of being broken by the top fifty experts on the Immortal Emperor Stele. The rest of the cultivators should forget about it!”

A veteran Immortal Emperor gave the formation a deep look before turning and leaving.

Hearing this, the other cultivators exchanged glances and dispersed as well.

It was just a formation; no one wanted to truly fight to the death.

There were countless opportunities within the Great Dao Heaven; there was no need to struggle here.

Whether this formation was set up by a cultivator who entered this time or left by cultivators in the past, and whatever opportunities it contained, without breaking the formation, everything was just empty talk.

Time slowly

passed.

The news of a top-tier array here gradually spread.

Initially,

some cultivators believed the array was set up by another Immortal Emperor, who was cultivating in seclusion within it.

However, as the news intensified, the rumors gradually changed. It became known

that this array contained unparalleled opportunities.

Upon learning this, more and more cultivators came, and many attempted to break the array.

On this day,

a figure descended through the air, his aura as heavy as an abyss suppressing the starry sky, causing the other Immortal Emperors to turn their heads.

When they saw the newcomer, some cultivators looked on with suspicion, seemingly curious about the newcomer’s identity, while others exclaimed,

“Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor! I didn’t expect him to come too!”

“What? Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor…is this the one ranked tenth on the Immortal Emperor Stele?”

Upon hearing the name Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor, the other cultivators’ expressions also changed slightly.

They were certainly familiar with this figure’s name.

Especially in earlier years, news of the battle between the other party and Jiang Yunchuan circulated widely.

Initially,

the defeat of the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor against Jiang Yunchuan led other cultivators to underestimate this tenth-ranked figure on the Immortal Emperor Stele.

However, twenty years ago, when Jiang Yunchuan suppressed several powerful figures on the Immortal Emperor Stele, including some who had even reached the top twenty, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s opinion shifted again.

Now everyone knows that

although Jiang Yunchuan is only ranked sixty-ninth on the Immortal Emperor Stele, his strength is far from what it seems.

Some cultivators even suspect that his strength is comparable to the top eight, or even the top five, prodigies on the Immortal Emperor Stele.

Therefore,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s defeat is not something to laugh at.

If only one person was defeated, one could say that the tenth-ranked figure on the Immortal Emperor Stele was somewhat overrated.

But with so many prodigies on the Immortal Emperor Stele being defeated, including those in the top twenty, it is enough to prove that Jiang Yunchuan is extraordinary.

Now,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor has appeared here. The fact

that the opponent, ranked tenth, was a powerful figure locked in fierce combat with Jiang Yunchuan was enough to put pressure on other cultivators.

The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor paid no heed to the reactions of the cultivators in the starry sky; his gaze was now fixed on the formation before him.

“A top-tier Immortal Emperor formation, interesting. I’ll see if there’s truly any great opportunity here!”

The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s expression was indifferent. Even decades ago, he was confident he could break this formation, let alone now.

Decades

had passed in the blink of an eye for an Immortal Emperor.

But in these decades, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor had found opportunities in the Great Dao Heaven, and his strength had advanced further.

Even with the suppression of the Dao Venerable’s rules, his current strength remained at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, but his physical body was already subtly transforming towards a Half-Saint, showing a strong possibility of achieving physical sainthood in one step.

If he could find some more opportunities, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor believed he could definitely step into the realm of physical sainthood first.

At that time…

Even under the suppression of the rules, his physical body was comparable to a Primordial Emperor Weapon. Even among the strongest Immortal Emperors, few could pose a threat.

Thinking of this

, a burning light appeared deep within the indifferent eyes of the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor as he looked at the formation before him.

“Boom!”

In the next instant, he activated his Divine Demon True Body, unleashing a tremendous force capable of shattering a starry sky, and slammed his fist into the formation.

Space shattered inch by inch, and terrifying shockwaves swept outwards from the two centers.

Those Immortal Emperors who were secretly observing paled upon sensing this surging aura.

“Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor, the tenth-ranked being on the Immortal Emperor Stele truly lives up to his reputation!”

“Such strength is only a hair’s breadth away from a Half-Saint!”

Many veteran Immortal Emperors who had cultivated for many years were now filled with dread. As fellow Immortal Emperors, they felt a suffocating pressure emanating from the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor.

Such power was overwhelming; facing it directly, even survival would be uncertain.

To contend with it was utterly impossible.

However,

after the initial shock,

the other Immortal Emperors’ gazes towards the array formation blazed with fervor. Even

with their full strength, they struggled to break the formation, but now that the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor had personally intervened, with his power, he might be able to break it directly. If

he could break the formation,

they, the Immortal Emperors, wouldn’t necessarily be able to claim all the opportunities, but even a small share would be a great reward.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the array nodes beneath the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s fist trembled violently, then cracks appeared and spread outwards.
