Chapter 428: Chapter 356: Stepping Above the Heavenly Immortal! Invited by Immortal Mountain! (4k3)_2

Immediately afterward,

Qin Zheng silently recited another incantation in his heart.

Streams of Innate Merit continuously flowed forth.

Just like before, the Inner Heaven and Earth was quickly illuminated by the golden light emitted by the Innate Merit, turning everything golden yellow.

However, the growth of the Tree of Dao, compared to just now, was as different as heaven and earth, extremely slow.

The Dao Fruits on the Tree of Dao, besides emitting bursts of clear light, exhibited no changes.

The Innate Merit continued to be consumed.

One strand... two strands... three strands...

Eight strands... nine strands... ten strands...

When only ten strands of Innate Merit remained on the Merit Scroll, the Tree of Dao had grown from thirty-three zhang to thirty-four zhang.

The Dao Fruits also remained unchanged.

Seeing this situation, Qin Zheng fell silent for a moment.

The consumption required to condense the Dao Palace was even greater than he had anticipated!

This time, he had harvested seventy-three strands of Innate Merit.

Firstly, nearly thirty strands were consumed, elevating him from a Heavenly Immortal to above a Heavenly Immortal.

Now, more than thirty strands were consumed again, yet there was not the slightest change, not even close to showing signs of forming the Dao Palace.

It wasn’t enough!

The Innate Merit wasn’t enough!

Judging from the current situation, even if he used the remaining ten strands of Innate Merit to enhance the Tree of Dao,

it likely wouldn’t meet the conditions necessary for condensing the Dao Palace!

Thinking this, Qin Zheng slightly furrowed his brows, deliberated a few moments, then withdrew his mind from the Inner Heaven and Earth.

Since the remaining ten strands of Innate Merit were insufficient to sustain the condensation of the Dao Palace,

it would be better to use them to repair the Slaying Immortal Sword Intent, strengthen his offensive methods, and enhance his combat capabilities!

Thinking this, Qin Zheng’s thoughts became clear, and at the same time, he silently recited in his heart, "Consume one strand of Innate Merit to repair the Slaying Immortal Sword Intent!"

Hum!

Above Heart Sea, the Slaying Immortal Sword Intent hummed lightly, as if joyfully.

...

Time drifted by; that grand battle concerning the Lingxu Realm had already passed by a month and more.

In this period, among the Nine Domains of the Human Race, a piece of news had stirred up a fervor.

Within the Human Race, another has risen above a Heavenly Immortal!

And this newly advanced being above a Heavenly Immortal, in conjunction with the Peerless Immortal Sword, had engaged in a battle with the Seven Great Demon Gods of the Demon Race!

Although the outcome of this battle remained unknown, it was enough for the entire Human Race to revel and celebrate.

The Human Race had been oppressed by the Demon Race for far too many years!

Though the Peerless Immortal Sword had emerged, overturning dire straits and securing a foothold in the Lingxu Realm for the Human Race,

it had only acted as a deterrent to the Demon Race, diminishing the intensity of their invasions into the Human lands.

Because relying solely on the Peerless Immortal Sword, it was impossible to defy the entire Demon Race with one person’s power!

Thus, over the past one hundred thousand years, the invasions by the Demon Race had not ceased; one after another, Human Race warriors valiantly fell in battle on the frontiers.

The Demon Race loomed like a dark cloud over the heads of the Human Race, threatening every individual striving to survive in this realm.

Now, after one hundred thousand years, another has risen above a Heavenly Immortal within the Human Race!

This also meant that the strength of the Human Race had significantly increased!

Previously, the Peerless Immortal Sword, alone and solitary, could only barely resist the Seven Great Demon Gods.

But now with another above a Heavenly Immortal added, they could cooperate and initiate a grand battle against the Demon Gods of the Demon Race!

Under such circumstances, the situation of the Human Race would greatly improve, and the Demon Race could no longer lord over them as they had before!

Also, one hundred thousand years later, with another from the Human Race advancing above a Heavenly Immortal, it filled all of humanity with hope.

Perhaps, more above Heavenly Immortals will emerge!

Hence, many immediately devoted themselves to rigorous cultivation.

The source of all these changes, this newly advanced Heavenly Immortal of the Human Race,

was currently seated in the great hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.

And at this moment, to his left and right, both sides were filled with people.

Chonghe, Dongyang, Mingyue, Fuyao, Funian, Qingwei.

Six of the Human Race’s top beings, seated on the right side of Qin Zheng.

Across from them, at this moment, sat six men and women in dark robes, all exuding the aura of top Heavenly Immortals.

"What brings you folks to our Human Race?" asked Qin Zheng, fiddling with a red little sword in his hand while he slowly spoke.

As his voice emerged, breaking the silence of the hall, the leading man among the six robed figures hurriedly spoke,

"Immortal Lord Qin, our visit firstly is to congratulate you on advancing above a Heavenly Immortal, another strong figure joins the Lingxu Realm."

"Secondly, it is to extend the invitation from our elder of Immortal Mountain for the Immortal Lord to visit Immortal Mountain."

The six were indeed powerful members of the Qilin Clan from Immortal Mountain.

Qin Zheng calmly nodded his head.

Regarding Immortal Mountain, Qin Zheng didn’t know much, but he could sense that this sect harbored some goodwill towards the Human Race.

Still, goodwill aside, at this juncture, he had just made enemies with the Demon Race as well as Dragon Palace and Phoenix Nest.

Why invite him to Immortal Mountain, without fearing it would provoke discontent from those factions?

After all, Dragon Palace and Phoenix Nest, though independent of the Demon Race and considering themselves God Race,

were ultimately closer to the Demon Race.

The earlier invitations from Dragon Palace and Phoenix Nest had been filled with malice.

Thus Qin Zheng immediately responded, "I recently stirred up a storm against the Demon Race, even attacking two elders from Dragon Palace and Phoenix Nest."

"Aren’t you afraid that inviting me over will anger these three factions?"

Hearing this, the man smiled lightly and promptly said, "Immortal Mountain acts without lingering on others’ opinions."

The implication was, if it angered them, so be it, they didn’t care.

Following that, the man continued, "Moreover, our elder mentioned that if we could forge good relations with the two above Heavenly Immortals of the Human Race, even if it offended the Demon Race, Dragon Palace, and Phoenix Nest entirely, it would be worth it!"
