Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1054 - 137: Trouble Ahead

The Immortal Alliance has always maintained tight surveillance over Spirit Phoenix Island, a mere speck of land. Above Spirit Phoenix Island, there are more than twenty artificial heavenly star artifacts always in synchronization. Moreover, these heavenly star artifacts are updated every three years, consistently using the most advanced technology from the Immortal Alliance, possessing the highest precision.

As long as there is a large-scale change in the spirit energy environment around this island, the alarm will be triggered.

The Immortal Alliance has never diverted its attention just because the Holy Emperor Venerable remains secluded on a small corner. After the chaos caused by the Demon Emperor, modern cultivators have fully realized the terror brought by banished immortals. They dare not ignore Holy Emperor Venerable.

If they do, they might unexpectedly face a powerful immortal who has restored all their strength one day.

Therefore, when the nature's spiritual energy around Spirit Phoenix Island suddenly gathered, the Immortal Alliance received the alarm, and the sword boxes in the synchronous orbit opened simultaneously, with a number of heavenly swords far exceeding Wang Qi's imagination aiming at the sea surface.

At this moment, all it takes is Feng Luoyi's confirmation, and that side of the sea surface will transform into the surface of the Great Sun, and the microscopic structure of matter will be destroyed.

However, Feng Luoyi did not give the order but started to contemplate.

"Mahayana Foreboding... Last time, Wang Qi's intelligence clearly stated that Holy Emperor Venerable is suppressing all cultivators on Spirit Phoenix Island, preventing them from breaking through to Mahayana..."

"Could it be that Holy Emperor Venerable has changed his mind?"

"Does he have a plan?"

"Is this the conclusion of that mysterious plan of his?"

After pondering briefly, Feng Luoyi still issued the termination command.

This is merely a Mahayana foreboding, not the overwhelming mana destruction of the planetary surface's spirit energy circulation, triggering the chaotic spirit energy-induced Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation during a Mahayana cultivator's breakthrough.

After all, it's just a mere Mahayana Foreboding.

It's no longer the era over seventeen hundred years ago when the modern immortal path had only a handful of carefree individuals, and each was only slightly stronger than Mahayana. Nowadays, the number of carefree individuals steadily resides in the three-digit mark, steadily approaching four digits annually, and even their individual combat power far exceeds Mahayana. Even a weaker carefree stage cultivator can single-handedly annihilate the entire Spirit Phoenix Island.

It's merely a matter of manpower.

If an Immortal Ascension Tribulation appears, even if Wang Qi doesn't have time to evacuate, Feng Luoyi will consider whether to eliminate Holy Emperor Venerable first.

"Hmm, I'll have to urge Wang Qi for a report later."

........................

On Spirit Phoenix Island, Wang Qi is completely unaware that he seemingly survived a death tribulation—Teacher Feng, that heavenly sword maniac actually suppressed the thought of throwing heavenly swords. He just feels the situation is terribly bad.

The powerful suction is like a vacuum cleaner, sweeping away every bit of spiritual power in heaven and earth. Those cultivators who have long been accustomed to the spirit energy environment are akin to fish leaping ashore, nearly "dying of thirst."

And the principle of "mutual support in hardship" is not understood by everyone. Only some low-level cultivators timely banded together, forming a spirit array to resist the loss of mana within their bodies. More Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment cultivators can only watch helplessly as their cultivation continues to diminish. However, cultivators above the Core Formation Stage don't need this method. They consolidate their essence qi into a core, stabilizing it like one, and can lock their mana. But even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators are slowly retreating, trying to distance themselves from the place of the Mahayana cultivator's path attainment.

Only Divine Separation Stage and higher-level cultivators dare to approach.

Wang Qi is currently playing the role of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, so he releases some mana, feigning being overpowered by this suction, while lying on the ground, quietly watching the surroundings withered, stubborn stones turn to ash, and the dome collapsing.

"Damn it, what is going on here? Why would Holy Emperor Venerable suddenly support a cultivator to break through to the Mahayana Realm?"

Wang Qi furrowed his brows and murmured.

"Don't you feel a familiar sense within this foreboding vision? This is the Mahayana Foreboding of the Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture! Holy Emperor Venerable is ultimately not foolish; he did not directly cultivate your altered scriptures but handed them to his subordinates to cultivate, to judge whether there are traps within this cultivation method!"

With Zhen Chan's reminder, Wang Qi finally felt that hint of familiarity within the vision. He too had cultivated the Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture, although he had long abandoned that cultivation technique due to the era's issues, it was ultimately his introduction to the immortal dao path.

"Tsk... It's a bit troublesome." Wang Qi clicked his tongue: "But at least being able to obtain an empirical life as a Body Integration Stage is not bad. It's just that Holy Emperor Venerable is a bit troublesome..."

........................

With a few flickers, Mrs. Huansha emerged from the closed-door cultivation place of Heart Demon Illusion Sect and quickly headed towards the center of Spirit Phoenix Island.

On the way, she saw countless ancient method practitioners passed out on the ground, looking exhausted. These cultivators were all low-level.

—The disparity between low-level and high-level cultivators is so vast... so vast that a high-level cultivator only needs one breath to take the lives of these low-level cultivators...

—Then, how about us high-level cultivators and immortals?

Mrs. Huansha has no access to the astronomical data of Xuanxing Temple. Otherwise, her question could be answered.

Powerful immortals who existed two billion years ago only needed one breath to diminish the lifespan of a constant star, sending celestial bodies far larger than Shenzhou towards the twilight of their life ahead of time. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Mrs. Huansha can't imagine this. To her, this Mahayana cultivator represents the ultimate of the righteous law immortal path in her mind.

Also holding such a "pilgrimage" mentality and coming over was the fourth elder of Luochen Sword Palace, Sima Jue.

—Mahayana Realm! Mahayana Realm!

—Even in the End of Law Era, this heaven and earth can still produce Mahayana Realm!

—There is ultimately hope for longevity! The persistence of our generation is indeed not wrong!

In contrast to him, Mei Sicheng was filled with a mix of "bewilderment" and "frustration."

——Could my inference be wrong? Is the Holy Emperor truly capable of tolerance, and I just misunderstood? Is it possible that he actually hopes for the appearance of Mahayana Realm cultivators?

At this moment, the more Mei Sicheng thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He was already on Wang Qi's pirate ship, and had assisted Wang Qi in a plethora of treacherous acts against fellow cultivators. In the eyes of the Holy Emperor, these were undoubtedly unforgivable sins!

With varied thoughts, several individuals from Luochen Sword Palace quietly approached the Phoenix Tomb.

One after another escape lights rapidly approached. Among these lights, there were those from the Divine Separation Stage, and even quite a few from the Body Integration Realm. All cultivators wanted to know who had broken through the most challenging barrier of the Immortal Dao, and how it was done.

At this time, in front of Zhengyang Hall at the Phoenix Tomb, the spiritual energy had thickened to a degree that it was almost materialized. The light affected by the spiritual energy nearly turned into light pollution, and the radiant clouds obscured everyone's view. However, they could still make out a point of blackness in the center of the radiance.

A thunderous explosion. Countless magic seals suddenly surged out, condensing into black zhuanwen scripts in the air, then gathering into chains. These pure black chains swiftly plunged into the radiance. Before long, four dark columns of light suddenly emerged from the periphery of the clouds. In each beam, there seemed to be zhuanwen scripts formed by grayish spirit light.

These were the introductory mnemonics of the Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture!

Sima Jue was suddenly startled.

"This is a cultivation technique that the Holy Emperor took from me, left by that killing star!"

"The Holy Emperor actually sought someone to cultivate it?"

After emerging from the "historical-themed instance" laid out by Zhen Chan in the Xuanxing Temple, he also pondered the foreign cultivation techniques left behind. Looking at the familiar mnemonic, how could he not be aware!

And his astonishment grew even more profound.

——That killing star definitely tampered with the cultivation technique... Did the Holy Emperor not notice?

Under the propulsion of several beams of light, the refining speed of the radiant clouds rapidly increased. Pure black slowly emerged and spread, akin to ink blooms. Then, at the center of the black fog, the innermost core, a point of black mist suddenly shed all characteristics, presenting transparency, with invisible and intangible properties.

Innate Taiyi, unseen Qi! Chaos boundless, Void Wuji!

And this scene also allowed many cultivators from Spirit Phoenix Island to see the person's appearance.

"Isn't that... Master Qiushui from the Longevity Sect?"

"What? Why is it that old scoundrel?"

"That guy, greedy for life and afraid of death, has never contributed a thing for the Emperor. What virtue does he have to be pushed as a Mahayana Realm cultivator?"

"Could it be that this old ghost was actually accumulating power all along to break through this final barrier?"

"Nonsense! If he truly relied on himself, why bother breaking through at the Phoenix Tomb in the Forbidden City? Wouldn't his own sect be better? This old scoundrel must be relying on the Emperor's gifts!"

Master Qiushui, the sect leader of the Great Longevity Sect, mainly cultivates the technique "Rivers Return to the Longevity Scripture," adept in Qi Cultivation. Neither his swordsmanship nor combat skills are exceptional, but his power is deep, and he has lived quite long.

Just then, the Mahayana Foreboding underwent another transformation.

As if purified, the spiritual energy mass, which had already turned pure black, was losing its color. At this moment, Master Qiushui, seated at the center, suddenly opened his eyes.

Then, almost simultaneously, all the cultivators observing his ascent felt a violent vibration. Their minds were bewildered, and countless memories suddenly invaded their consciousness.

Innate Tai Chu, spirit before Heaven and Earth!

This transformation indicates a change in spirit!

Then followed Innate Tai Shi, invisible Qi emerging!

The subsequent Taixu and Taiji transformations appeared smoothly. By this point, even fools realized what cultivation technique this guy was practicing.

"Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture! It's actually the Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture!"

"Are you kidding! It turns out to be the lost Absolute Skill of Luofu Immortal Palace!"

At this time, Mrs. Huansha's jaw almost dislocated.

——That Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture is not virtual... It can actually be cultivated and does indeed relate to the Innate Five Taos...

She had also seen the secret manuals in the instance.

At this moment, she wished she could slap herself.

——That Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture... that Yin Yang Chaotic Hole Ling Xiao Record... that Upper Mysterious Red Tripod's Three Holes Technique... I didn't look!

In front of the Innate Taiji Phenomenon, that pair of chasing Taiji Double Fish, all low-level cultivators still maintaining consciousness chose to kneel devoutly.

At this moment, Wang Qi heard Zhen Chan's cold snort: "This bastard thing is doomed."

The tone, hiding undisguised schadenfreude.
