Chapter 4042 No news is the best news!

Breaking through to the Half-Saint Realm!

This involves using one’s own Great Dao of Longevity to communicate with the Chaotic Heavenly Dao, then drawing down the River of Time to cleanse oneself, allowing the physical body and soul to transform, thus no longer fearing the threat of time, achieving immortality!

This is the first step!

Now,

the River of Time descends.

Shen Changqing opens his mind, allowing the power of this Great Dao River to flow into his body. Every inch of his flesh and bones, even his consciousness and soul, is undergoing a profound transformation.

The feeling

is as if the shackles that once bound him are being gradually removed.

This transformation

is a natural progression.

The next step

is to condense the Immortal Stele of Longevity.

The Immortal Stele of Longevity is a manifestation of the Great Dao of Longevity. In the void, an ancient immortal stele phantom condenses, its vast and ancient aura suppressing heaven and earth.

Its majestic power

is enough to make all the cultivators in the entire Chaotic Land hold their breath.

“The River of Time!”

“The Immortal Stele of Immortality!”

“The rumors are true… the Chaotic Land truly holds an opportunity to break free from the shackles of the Great Tribulation and directly attain immortality!!”

In a certain place in the Chaotic Land, Qin Changfeng stared at the illusory image of the ancient immortal stele, his face contorted with jealousy.

An opportunity for immortality!

He too had sought it for years without success.

Now that someone had openly achieved a breakthrough, how could Qin Changfeng not be jealous?

But thinking of Shen Changqing, he suppressed all his thoughts.

The battle at the Burial Immortal Ruins!

Not only did it demoralize the cultivators from the outer realms, but it also extinguished any thought of competition among the Chaotic cultivators on his side.

Qin Changfeng knew very well that his strength was significantly inferior to that of Luo Xinghe and his ilk.

To claim he could contend with Shen Changqing was a pipe dream.

Moreover,

considering the grudges between the Divine Sun Immortal Court and Shen Changqing, Qin Changfeng was certain that if he dared to show his face, that person would absolutely slap him to death.

Understanding this, Qin Changfeng dared not make a move, and could only watch helplessly as Shen Changqing broke through to the Half-Saint Realm.

…

Time slowly passed.

The illusory image of the Immortal Stele of Longevity became increasingly solid.

The majestic heavenly might also grew ever stronger.

After an unknown period of time,

all the strange phenomena of the Great Dao dissipated.

Inside the Immortal Mansion, Shen Changqing looked inward at his own sea of consciousness and saw the Immortal Stele of Longevity standing there, radiating a mysterious and unfathomable aura.

“The breakthrough failed?”

He frowned.

Although the Immortal Stele of Longevity had materialized and his own strength had improved, he had not completed the final step of transformation.

This feeling of being stopped at the last hurdle made Shen Changqing feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, soon, Jiu Ye’s voice came, which resolved his doubts.

“This is the Land of Chaos, where the powers of two great chaotic heavenly paths intertwine. The rule here is that beings above the Immortal Emperor level are not allowed to appear.

It was only this time, when you slaughtered many geniuses from the outer realms, that our side of the chaotic heavenly path gained the upper hand, thus receiving this opportunity.

However, the outer realm heavenly path has not perished, and the power of that chaotic heavenly path still restricts you, preventing a true breakthrough to the Half-Saint realm.

Normally, a Half-Saint breakthrough involves condensing the Immortal Tablet of Longevity, followed by enduring the Divine Tribulation of Longevity and the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man, only then is the breakthrough considered successful.

You have already condensed the Immortal Tablet of Longevity. Once you leave the Land of Chaos and return to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, you can attract the tribulation of lightning, then overcome the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man, thus breaking through to achieve immortality!”

“Thank you for your explanation, Senior!”

Knowing the reason, Shen Changqing felt much more at ease.

As long as there were no problems, that was fine.

As for breaking through again after returning to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, that was not a big deal in his eyes.

Jiuye said, “To be honest, without the Great Tribulation, immortality cannot be manifested. This is a rule set by the Heavenly Dao, which all living beings in the Chaos must abide by.

Even the Lord of the Great Dao cannot break this order of the Heavenly Dao in a region of Chaos.

As for those like you who have been granted such an opportunity to seek immortality in this era, I have lived for a long time and have only seen a handful of cultivators!”

As she said this, Jiuye’s tone became more emotional.

“Heaven doesn’t bestow opportunities without reason.

Only by doing things that benefit Heaven can one receive such an opportunity.

However—

Heavenly opportunities

also have varying degrees.

Opportunities obtained at the level of ascending the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele are insufficient to break the shackles.

To break the rules and order, one must perform immense merit for Heaven.

But Heaven is supreme, and performing great merit is no easy feat.

In this battle in the Chaotic Land, you suppressed many geniuses from the outer realms, obtained millions of creation mysteries, and allowed the Chaotic Heaven to gain a sufficient advantage in the Chaotic Land.

Whether any cultivator will be able to replicate your achievements in the future remains to be seen!”

Heavenly opportunities are not bestowed casually.

Moreover,

opportunities like Shen Changqing’s, which directly lead to immortality, are even rarer.

Hearing this, Shen Changqing understood.

Then, he looked at the two supreme figures in the void and asked in a deep voice, “Senior, when do you think this chaotic land will truly emerge and become a battleground for the two chaotic forces?”

“Soon!”

Jiu Ye said calmly.

“When one chaotic Heavenly Dao can crush the other, it can break through the chaotic barrier, causing the two chaotic forces to completely merge.

Originally, the outer chaotic forces held the advantage in the chaotic land.

However, your rampage earlier not only wiped out the advantage of the outer chaotic forces but also greatly increased the power of our chaotic forces.

The size of the Heavenly Dao phantom you saw in the void is actually a manifestation of the relative strength of the two chaotic forces.

Judging from the current situation, perhaps the next time the chaotic land opens will be when the two chaotic forces completely merge.

Of course… it may be even sooner, but the exact time is hard to say.”

Upon hearing this,

Shen Changqing remained silent.

The mere thought that the confluence of the two chaotic realms would inevitably lead to a cataclysmic calamity was self-evident.

However, given another chance, Shen Changqing would still directly intervene to suppress the group of extraterrestrial prodigies. After

all, if he didn’t act, the extraterrestrial chaos would gain an absolute advantage and potentially invade his own, which wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing.

Since a battle was inevitable, why not take the initiative? Besides, given his own chance at immortality, Shen Changqing had no reason to hold back. Not long after this thought crossed his mind, a powerful repulsive force appeared in the world. Before Shen Changqing could react, he had already vanished from the chaotic land. Other cultivators disappeared at the same time. As the numerous cultivators departed, the Great Dao River in the void erupted violently, its terrifying power ravaging the entire chaotic land, causing the earth and sky to crumble and perish bit by bit, threatening to return to the chaotic void. … The Immortal City of Immortality! Immortal light shone brightly. One after another, figures suddenly appeared. The moment Shen Changqing appeared, his gaze locked onto a figure that had vanished into the void. With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed the Nine Star Mace, the power of the Nine Directions Star River shattering layers of space as it hurtled towards the figure. The latter, his face filled with shock and anger, instinctively summoned numerous protective treasures, but before the Nine Star Mace, these treasures were like paper. In less than a breath, more than ten protective treasures shattered instantly. But even this brief delay gave the opponent a glimmer of hope. The Nine Star Mace struck, shattering most of the body, the remaining fragments mingling with bloody light, instantly disappearing into the vast void. Everything happened too fast; the other cultivators stood frozen in place, unable to react for a moment. “Quite fast, worthy of being the Dao Child of the Taiyi Immortal Sect!” Shen Changqing withdrew the Nine Star Mace, not continuing the pursuit. Luo Xinghe was determined to leave, and it wouldn’t be easy to stop him within the Crimson Jade Dao Palace. Having just emerged from the Chaotic Land, the instant he sensed Luo Xinghe’s presence, he immediately attacked, intending to seize the opportunity to kill Luo Xinghe in one fell swoop. However, the opponent was far too cautious. The moment he emerged from the Chaotic Land, he used his supernatural powers to escape, even sacrificing over ten protective treasures to save his life. Therefore, Shen Changqing’s attack only severely injured him, failing to truly kill him. Afterwards, Shen Changqing scanned the void again, but Huang Liang Daoren’s whereabouts were nowhere to be seen. It was clear that the other party had already fled the moment he attacked. Shen Changqing didn’t believe that Huang Liang Daoren had perished in the Chaotic Land. With the methods of that Huang Liang Divine Sect leader, how could he have fallen so easily? If he were so easily defeated, he wouldn’t have escaped his grasp time and again. In that short time, the other cultivators also hurriedly left, fearing that Shen Changqing would attack them. In less than a moment… The remaining cultivators outside the Immortal City of Longevity were few and far between. “Sword Master Shen…” Jiang Yunchuan stepped forward, about to speak, but before he could finish, an overwhelming spatial force surged forth, and his figure vanished. Shen Changqing did the same the instant Jiang Yunchuan left. However, in the brief moment before leaving the Crimson Jade Palace, his gaze swept over the Immortal City of Longevity. On that ancient city, a dozen figures stood silently like puppets. But— in an instant, everything in Shen Changqing’s sight disappeared. … The Divine Heaven Domain. The atmosphere in the Immortal Domain was now extremely tense. Many powerful figures arrived one after another, all staring at the Crimson Jade Palace. Since the opening of the Crimson Jade Palace, many prodigies had perished, and their respective forces would not let it go easily. They had gathered here to wait for other cultivators to emerge from the Crimson Jade Palace and demand an explanation. “I wonder how much my Jiang family will gain this time!” Inside a celestial palace in Nanming Immortal City, Jiang Daoxuan sat calmly, occasionally glancing towards the Crimson Jade Palace, a faint smile playing on his lips. So far, no news had come from the Jiang family. But— no news is often good news. After all, Jiang Yunchuan and the others had left behind soul lamps and life tablets; if they had perished, the Jiang family would surely have noticed. The lack of news meant that Jiang Yunchuan and the others hadn’t perished. Being able to enter the Crimson Jade Palace and emerge alive meant they would definitely obtain opportunities; it was merely a matter of how many.
