The method of nurturing an Immortal Vein, saying it’s simple isn’t quite true, nor is it easy.

It requires a billion Heavenly Dao Origins to directly condense an Immortal Vein.

Normally speaking.

Gu Qingyang felt that it was naturally impossible for the Heavenly Dao Origin of the Lower Realm to nurture an Immortal Vein, but after the panel was datafied, the Heavenly Dao Origin possessed this capability.

Up to this point.

Gu Qingyang was certain that there was definitely a great secret upon him.

From his arrival in this world to reaching his current standing step by step, it was impossible to say there wasn’t a secret.

The so-called golden finger wasn’t that simple either.

However. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

With Gu Qingyang’s current cultivation realm, he hadn’t explored so many capabilities yet.

But there’s one thing.

Gu Qingyang always believed.

As long as his cultivation grew stronger and stronger, all secrets would reveal themselves to him one day.

In the end.

Gu Qingyang’s focus turned back to the Heavenly Dao Origin.

Fusion of the Two Realms’ Heavenly Dao.

Receiving a million origins.

In fact.

Gu Qingyang should have received two million Heavenly Dao Origins, but two million Heavenly Dao Origins were the foundation of the Two Realms. If he were to plunder them completely, the Two Realms would be annihilated.

Therefore.

Gu Qingyang plundered half of the origins from each of the Two Realms, leaving half the Heavenly Dao Origins to maintain the stability of heaven and earth, and then proceed to fuse the Three Realms.

This is the cost of merging other worlds.

To obtain one hundred percent of the Heavenly Dao Origin, one must thoroughly destroy a world to fully plunder all its Heavenly Dao Origins.

If wanting to preserve the world, one must sacrifice a part of the Heavenly Dao Origin to maintain world stability.

If Gu Qingyang did not follow the path of faith, then he wouldn’t have to be so scrupulous, focusing on plundering instead, turning the abundant Heavenly Dao Origins for his usage without regard for the survival of other worlds.

After all, on the battlefield of the Two Realms, the fall of billions of beings is entirely normal.

However.

Gu Qingyang, wishing to tread the path of faith, naturally could not do this act of draining the pond to catch fish.

In the short term, acquiring large amounts of Heavenly Dao Origins seems beneficial, but in the long run, a mere million Heavenly Dao Origins can never be as significant as the beings of the Two Realms.

Currently.

The population of Cyan Yang Divine Realm has already surpassed fifteen trillion.

Among them.

Those who generate belief amount to as many as thirteen trillion.

This quantity.

When compared to the original belief numbers of Cyan Yang Realm, has more than increased tenfold.

Ultimately.

It is due to the vast population of the Immortal Extinction Realm and Taiyuan Realm.

Previously, although Cyan Yang Divine Court suppressed the Immortal Extinction Realm, the Two Realms hadn’t truly fused, and faith hadn’t spread thoroughly.

Now the Two Realms have fused.

Gu Qingyang employed overwhelming methods, causing all beings across the Three Realms to witness the impact it brought.

Thus.

The number of Gu Qingyang’s followers surged invincibly.

Thirteen trillion followers in Cyan Yang Divine Realm.

Twenty-six trillion followers among the Starry Sky’s Ten Thousand Races.

Combined, Gu Qingyang’s followers have astonishingly broken through thirty-six trillion.

And the most direct benefit from thirty-six trillion followers is the enormous faith power accrued yearly.

Gu Qingyang estimated that he could obtain at least a quadrillion in faith power yearly.

And this.

Does not include Demon Venerable Xuan Yin.

From this, one could see again, the quality of a Twelfth Rank True Immortal is exceptionally high.

Demon Venerable Xuan Yin alone could contribute three hundred and sixty-five trillion in faith, equivalent to about ten trillion beings.

By year’s end.

Gu Qingyang can obtain over a thousand three hundred trillion in faith, and even factoring in the exchange losses from everyday followers, he conservatively estimates he would retain a thousand trillion.

More importantly.

The fundamental reason followers exchange items from the Divine Kingdom is to enhance their strength.

Once a follower’s cultivation realm breaks through, the faith power provided will increase correspondingly.

This is a virtuous cycle.

Overall.

Gu Qingyang has now put everything on the right path, obtaining the qualification to compete across the Starry Sky.

"Though my current realm is Ninth Level Perfect, compared to other Ninth Levels, I am entirely overwhelming; even the so-called Quasi-Immortal should not be much before me."

Gu Qingyang had a rough estimation of his current strength, but truly understanding it required further exploration in other areas.

Thinking thus.

Gu Qingyang couldn’t help but focus his attention on the Divine Kingdom simulation.

This function.

He had not utilized for a long time.

After all, though there were many targets within the Divine Kingdom simulation, truly powerful ones were few and far between.

Gu Qingyang’s gaze swiftly swept over the Divine Kingdom simulation, eventually locking onto two names.

Half-Step Tenth Tier!

Ancient Demon Emperor!

Desolate Ancient Human Emperor!

These were the only two Quasi-Immortal powerful beings, and were the ones whose aura Gu Qingyang could once collect.

Though when the auras of the two were collected, only a fraction of their power imprint remained, yet the Divine Kingdom’s mystique could simulate their peak state all the same.

The first to appear was the Ancient Demon Emperor, with terrifying power like an abyss sweeping across from him, a divine might grand and deep as a world-ruling emperor.

However.

Gu Qingyang remained unperturbed in the face of such power.

The moment the Ancient Demon Emperor made a move, with his Supreme Emperor Scripture shattering the void and roaring like an ocean fury in suppression, the boundless power made Gu Qingyang’s eyes sparkle coldly.

Raising his right hand.

His fingertips shattered the Star River.

Gu Qingyang merely extended a finger, obliterating and annihilating the force, a torrent of power flooding the void, fiercely suppressing the Ancient Demon Emperor.

The latter roared in anger, his Quasi-Immortal power erupting like a volcano, the Dao Rules manifesting, seemingly capable of annihilating and obliterating a world.

Such power.

Could be said to destroy heaven and earth.

Any strike could obliterate the Dao, destroy the world, leaving even ordinary Ninth Level experts without a chance to resist.

But regrettably.

Gu Qingyang was no ordinary Ninth Level.

Upon stepping into the Ninth Level Perfect stage, his strength entirely shattered the Quasi-Immortal’s limits; even facing this strike, the Ancient Demon Emperor struggled to contend.

Ultimately.

As one of Gu Qingyang’s fingers descended, the Ancient Demon Emperor’s body exploded thunderously.

This powerhouse who once dominated the Ancient Times, surpassed by the Demon Race, thus fell.

After slaying the Ancient Demon Emperor, Gu Qingyang simulated the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor, yielding the same result; before his absolute power, the only two Quasi-Immortal powerhouses of the Immortal Extinction Realm were easily obliterated.

Such strength.

Surprised Gu Qingyang, yet it also seemed within reason.

"I wonder if my current strength could compare to a true Immortal!"

Though slaying Quasi-Immortals was as simple as squashing ants, the true power of a Real Immortal remained unknown to him.

Thinking here.

Gu Qingyang gazed at the highest simulation target.

Twelfth Tier Simulation.

Ancient Celestial Demon — Demon Venerable Xuan Yin!
