Chapter 431: Chapter 357 Qionglai Great Realm! Great Luo Level! (4k2)_2

Forces like the Nine Yang Immortal Sect, after offering tributes to the Deity of the Sun and obtaining recognition, receive the deity’s blessings; from then on, they become an Orthodox Immortal Clan.

So the disappearance of the Immortal Gods came after the destruction of the Immortal Ruins!

It’s still unclear if there is any connection between the two.

Just as Qin Zheng was pondering over this,

Hum!

In his sight, the colossal godly statue suddenly burst into a resplendent radiance.

The incense’s golden brilliance in the void was instantly entirely absorbed by the statue, like a vortex siphoning it away.

Immediately afterward, an indescribable divine might began to slowly overflow from upon the statue, enveloping the entire Nine Yang Immortal Sect.

Even Qin Zheng, watching through Xu Fusheng’s eyes, felt a slight quickening of his heartbeat at seeing this scene.

The descent of an Immortal God, the manifestation of the true form!

Was he about to witness an Immortal God from the past, still alive?

Whosh!

Suddenly, the space surrounding the statue rippled like the surface of water, spreading out in all directions instantaneously.

At that moment, the massive statue itself also slowly transformed into a figure shrouded in hazy golden light, its true form indecipherable.

"Bestow, Nine Yang Immortal Sect’s Xu Fusheng, with a scroll of the Solar Immortal Scripture."

Followed by a voice that sounded like the grand dao echoing through everyone’s mind.

The Solar Immortal Scripture?

Qin Zheng’s brows subtly raised.

He then saw the vague figure within the golden light extend its hand, casting down a ray of golden brilliance, which instantly descended onto his head.

"Thank you, Deity of the Sun!"

Qin Zheng felt his vision shift as he bowed in gratitude toward the indistinct being within the golden light.

Then, in a flash, the gold light atop the statue receded, returning it to its former state as a colossal stone statue.

The divine might that had filled the heavens and earth also receded like a tide.

As it turned out, this sacrificial ceremony was held to bestow a reward on Xu Fusheng.

It seems that he was already not far from reaching the Taiyi Order.

Qin Zheng thought to himself.

Then, an imposing silver-haired elder slowly emerged before the square, speaking: "The ceremony is over; please return to your respective duties."

Qin Zheng knew this person to be the only Taiyi Order cultivator in the Nine Yang Immortal Sect, as well as its Sect Leader.

"We will obey the Sect Leader’s decree!"

Sounds echoed all around, and then the crowd began to disperse.

Within Qin Zheng’s view, the elder turned to look over at him and nodded slightly, saying, "Fusheng, come with me."

"Yes!"

Following the elder, it wasn’t long before they reached the depths of the Nine Yang Immortal Sect.

This was also Qin Zheng’s first visit here since entering the secret realm.

Unlike countless ages later, there was no tower similar to the Supreme Tower here.

Instead, the majestic hall that stood before them had its doors wide open, revealing a very solemn and imposing scene within.

Inside the hall, there stood a life-sized statue of the Deity of the Sun, cast from some unknown material.

Lifelike and radiating divine might, just like before, it seemed as if it were a real deity.

"Fusheng."

At that moment, the silver-haired elder turned around and spoke to ’Qin Zheng’: "You have been wronged this time."

"Heaven Realm has some unknown troubles; the deity has yet to respond. I could only use this method to pretend that the Immortal God is still sheltering our sect."

Was that a sham earlier?

Qin Zheng’s heart immediately tensed.

So it turns out that the Immortal Gods have already been fading away since this time!

"You are too kind, Master."

"The Immortal Sect has sheltered me throughout my life; Master has taught me all my skills. It’s only a pity that I have yet to advance to Taiyi, I’m the one who has let down Master and the Immortal Sect."

Soon after, Xu Fusheng’s voice sounded leisurely.

Qin Zheng also saw the contented smile of the silver-haired elder before him.

But this smile did not last long and once again turned to seriousness and solemnity.

"You are only a step away from Taiyi now, so I can tell you about some things."

At this statement, Qin Zheng’s spirit instantly lifted.

"Master, please speak."

Xu Fusheng’s voice responded.

Then the silver-haired elder, hesitating a bit, began to speak slowly: "Approximately a million years ago, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion heralded that the spiritual essence of the world is set to decline."

"And the spiritual energy of heaven and earth ebbs and flows like the tide, its rising and falling are natural and beyond the control of us mortals,"

"However, when an Immortal God takes action, they can shield us cultivators, bestow upon us a realm with spiritual energy, where we await the revival of heaven and earth’s spiritual energy."

"Therefore, even if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth fades, we need not be overly concerned."

"But..."

At this point, the old man’s expression became slightly grave.

Xu Fusheng’s voice arose.

"Our connection with the Immortal Gods has been severed."

The silver-haired elder nodded immediately and continued gravely, "A million years ago, when the Heavenly Secret Pavilion foretold the decline of the spiritual energy, I contacted a disciple under the Deity of the Sun."

"They informed me not to worry, as the Star Lord had already opened up a realm for us, ample for our cultivation, until the spiritual energy revived."

"However, after that one instance, I could no longer make contact with them."

"And it’s not just the Nine Yang Immortal Sect, even the nearby Shenhua Sect and Myriad Demons Sect have lost their connection to the Immortal Gods they worship."

"The Immortal Gods of the Heaven Realm have gradually disconnected from us, until five hundred thousand years passed, and no sect in the entire Qionglai Great Realm could contact an Immortal God of the Heaven Realm."

"We cannot fathom what has happened in the Heaven Realm, but we can feel the speed at which the spiritual energy is retreating has begun to accelerate!"

"So..."

"We plan to leave the Qionglai Great Realm and go to a realm where the spiritual energy has not faded!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng’s mind sharply focused.

Xu Fusheng’s somewhat puzzled voice continued to resonate: "Master just mentioned that the spiritual energy comes and goes like the tide."

"So even if we leave the Qionglai Great Realm and head to other Great Realms, we are merely following the direction of the receding tide of spiritual energy; we can’t change the fact that it will vanish."

"Is there any point in doing this?"

These words of Xu Fusheng were exactly what Qin Zheng was thinking at that moment.

Just then, they saw the silver-haired elder across from them gently laugh as he shook his head and said, "Since you already know that the Qionglai Great Realm is but one among many in this universe,"

"Then how can you be so sure that this is the only realm that exists?"

Without waiting for Xu Fusheng to speak further, the silver-haired elder continued, "According to ancient knowledge passed down, there are Thirty-Six Heavens in this universe."

"The realm we are in now is merely one of them."

"And when the spiritual energy of this realm fades, we can detach ourselves from this one and move to any of the other thirty-five realms!"

"This is the sole method of self-salvation devised by the cultivators of our Qionglai Great Realm!"

"However..."

At this point, the silver-haired elder fell silent for a few moments before speaking again, "To leave the Qionglai Great Realm, to exit this heaven, one must at least be of the Great Luo Level!"

"My path has ended, and I have no hope of advancing further."

"But I have made contact with Grand Master Xu Yang of the Taichu Immortal Sect. He is from the Yuxu Lineage and is at the Great Luo Level himself."

"He has agreed to take us away in his Human Seed Bag, leading us out of this layer of heaven."

"However, his Human Seed Bag is special, and only those of the Taiyi Order can survive within it."

"So... Fusheng, you must ascend to Taiyi as quickly as possible!"

"Only then will you have the hope to travel to another realm, to avoid this great calamity of the fading spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"

The elder’s tone was full of hope.

"Very well!"

After a brief pause, Xu Fusheng’s voice slowly rose.

Satisfied with the response, the silver-haired elder nodded and continued, "Grand Master Xu Yang told me he would leave the Qionglai Great Realm in a hundred thousand years."

"You have that much time, and with your talent, diligent cultivation to ascend to Taiyi should be achievable."

"The Solar Immortal Scripture is no fake, but a gift bestowed upon me by the Immortal Lord Taiyang in ancient times. You may safely cultivate with the scripture."

The silver-haired elder rambled on, advising Xu Fusheng in front of him like an elder to a junior.

At that moment, Qin Zheng was immersed in the information recently revealed by the elder.

There are Thirty-Six Heavens in the universe!

Above Taiyi is the Great Luo Level!

All this knowledge was precious, coming from an age before the Immortal Ruins met their demise!

As Qin Zheng’s thoughts were swirling,

Boom!

An earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted around him.

Qin Zheng’s mind snapped to attention.

Immediately after, he saw the silver-haired elder’s complexion change, and then the scenery before him shifted abruptly, moving them outside the grand hall.

They looked up to the Firmament.

Then they saw above the Firmament, as if a mirage, a boundless giant Heavenly Palace Phantom appeared out of thin air.

And this immense Heavenly Palace Phantom was slowly collapsing towards the mortal realm!
