Chapter 3464 2 Years

The top spot on the Immortal Emperor's Stele!

Shen Changqing was confident that no one in the Immortal Emperor realm could rival him.

Although up to now.

He has only ever fought against the Nine Mountain Immortal Emperor.

The latter barely made it into the tenth place on the Immortal Emperor Stele, with nine people ahead of him.

but no matter.

The strength of the Nine Mountain Immortal Emperors is beyond doubt.

Even if the other party is somewhat inferior to the other nine, Shen Changqing believes it shouldn't be too much.

With his current strength, Shen Changqing was confident that he could easily suppress the Nine Mountain Immortal Emperor if he were to appear in person.

Further up.

That was the Great Yi Immortal Emperor.

Although Shen Changqing had not fought the opponent in reality, he had witnessed the opponent's strength in the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

can only say.

The Great Chess Immortal Emperor in the Seven Mysterious Divine Tower is nothing special.

Suppressing him was an easy task for Shen Changqing.

of course.

The true strength of the powerful figures predicted by the Seven Mysterious Divine Towers is bound to differ somewhat from that in reality.

For example, some protective treasures and other trump cards are things that the Seven Mysterious Divine Tower cannot deduce.

However, no matter what, the opponent is stronger than what the Seven Mysterious Divine Tower predicted, but still only by a limited margin.

According to outside sources, the Great Yi Immortal Emperor's best achievement was his confrontation with the half-saint of the Ancient Xiang family, where he faced a half-saint head-on without being at a disadvantage, thanks to the advantage of his innate imperial weapon.

The strength of the ninth or tenth.

Shen Changqing had already seen it all.

As for the top eight, he had never seen them.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is vast, with 3,600 Immortal Provinces, and Divine Wind Province is just one of them, so it is not easy to see it.

However, based solely on the cases of the Nine Mountain Immortal Emperor and the Great Chess Immortal Emperor, Shen Changqing could roughly estimate the strength of the other top ten powerhouses on the Immortal Emperor Stele.

It cannot be ruled out that there are exceptionally powerful individuals whose strength can rival that of a Celestial Emperor or a Half-Saint, but this is the limit.

Shen Changqing roughly estimated that his current strength was hovering between the peak of the first tribulation and the initial stage of the second tribulation.

Beyond that, it's impossible to do it.

The cultivation level of a peak Immortal Emperor!

Combat power at the initial stage of the Second Tribulation!

Such strength.

He is absolutely unmatched in the Immortal Emperor realm.

of course.

It cannot be ruled out that some powerful individuals may wield certain heaven-defying treasures and be able to unleash even greater power, but the external force of these treasures is unrelated to the ranking on the Immortal Emperor's Stele.

The latter emphasizes inner strength, while other external forces have no effect.

He has mastered two top-tier body-refining techniques at the Immortal Emperor level, and has also refined all nine Immortal Emperor universes to their limits, in addition to achieving minor success in the Innate Immortal Body.

All kinds of profound knowledge and experience.

Shen Changqing was confident enough.

but--

He didn't set off immediately.

If Shen Changqing had had this thought more than 10,000 years ago, he would not have hesitated at all.

However, now that he has obtained the True Meaning Forging Method, he sees hope in further improving his own foundation.

Although the True Meaning Forging Method can only temper the mind and soul, it can still improve one's foundation.

Under these circumstances, Shen Changqing didn't mind waiting a little longer.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

The safest approach is to go to the Divine Realm in your true peak condition.

Even though Shen Changqing believed that with his current strength and resources, he could maintain his position at number one on the Immortal Emperor's Stele, no one could guarantee that some unexpected events might occur.

If an unexpected event occurs, then the opportunity will be missed.

after all.

Each cultivator has only one chance to receive the reward from the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.

The higher the ranking, the better the reward.

Especially for the top ten, the opportunities given to each ranking are likely to vary considerably.

The same is true for the first and second.

therefore.

Shen Changqing was not in a hurry.

Having now obtained the True Meaning Forging Method, he has completely comprehended and mastered this supernatural power; all that remains is for him to cultivate and refine it on his own.

"The next great calamity is still more than 100 million years away, and as for the Heavenly Dao Battlefield, it will take more than 10 million years."

In terms of time, we have plenty of time for now; we can take some more time to reflect and process things.

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly.

"Speaking of which, it's only been 970,000 years since I ascended to the Upper Realm!"

970,000 years!

For many Immortal Emperors, this is just the duration of a single period of seclusion.

But for Shen Changqing, it was a rather long time.

This is because for a considerable period of those 970,000 years, he spent in seclusion within the Seven Profound Divine Tower, cultivating his skills.

970,000 years may not seem like a long time, but Shen Changqing's actual age is over 80 million years.

This can be seen.

Shen Changqing spends most of his time in seclusion cultivating.

Nine hundred thousand years is not a long time.

But tens of millions of years later, things are different.

but.

For many cultivators, it takes tens of millions of years to even reach the Immortal Emperor realm from the Ancient Immortal Realm, let alone step into the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

……

The reforging of the Xuan Tian Emperor Bell caused quite a stir within the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

However, the tremors subsided quickly.

Subsequent time.

Shen Changqing was also deeply devoted to the art of weapon forging and refining.

to him.

Forging weapons is not only about forging divine weapons, but also about tempering oneself; it is a process of cultivating the true meaning of weapon forging techniques.

Of course.

The cultivation of the True Meaning Forging Method does not necessarily require forging weapons and refining artifacts.

There were no problems during my normal seclusion and cultivation.

However, in Shen Changqing's view, simply closing himself up to cultivate the True Meaning Forging Method would undoubtedly be a waste of the true potential of this supernatural power.

Such supernatural powers.

Born for weapon forging.

It contains the profound insights of an eighth-rank, sixth-grade grandmaster into the art of weapon forging and refining.

and so.

Compared to simply closing himself off in seclusion, Shen Changqing adopted the practice of forging weapons to cultivate.

This way.

He has made great progress in the cultivation of the True Meaning Forging Method, and at the same time, he has also made rapid progress in the art of weapon forging.

……

This day.

Above the peak of the artifact.

Another war is about to break out.

This commotion instantly attracted the attention of many cultivators.

"Seventh-tier weapon calamity!"

"No... the aura of this seventh-tier weapon seems much stronger than before. It's probably already at the middle level of the seventh tier!"

Many cultivators were shaken and looked towards the direction of the Weapon Peak, their eyes filled with awe.

A mid-grade seventh-tier weapon!

This means that a mid-grade Emperor Immortal artifact has been created.

It goes without saying who in the entire Xuantian Dao Sect is capable of refining such a supreme treasure.

Peak.

Gongsun Yang gazed at the descending soldiers with a look of awe on his face.

"The sect leader's comprehension is unmatched. In just a few years, only two hundred thousand years since he advanced to the seventh-level Grandmaster, he has already stepped into the middle of the seventh level."

In comparison, I, an old man, am truly ashamed!

At this point, Gongsun Yang's face also showed a look of shame.

Over two hundred thousand years.

He was also promoted to a mid-level Grandmaster of the sixth rank.

However, this breakthrough is naturally not on the same level as Shen Changqing's.

The difficulty of the seventh level is unmatched by the sixth level.

What's more.

Gongsun Yang knew very well that it had taken him a full 60 million years to break through to the sixth rank.

Now, having received a top-tier sixth-order inheritance and guidance from a seventh-order grandmaster, he has barely managed to break through to the middle rank of the sixth order.

Comparing the two.

How could Gongsun Yang not feel ashamed?

now.

The heavenly tribulation continued to fall, and the treasure was being tempered by the tribulation, emitting a buzzing sound, but it never showed any signs of breaking.

After the final heavenly tribulation descended, Shen Changqing grasped at the void with his right hand, and a celestial seal appeared in his hand.

"Two artifact patterns!"

"In terms of grade, it's about average among mid-grade Emperor Immortal Artifacts!"

He looked at the immortal seal in his hand with a calm expression, as if the immortal seal in his hand was not a mid-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact, but just an ordinary thing.

In fact it is.

In Shen Changqing's view, his advancement to the middle rank of the seventh level was inevitable.

Again.

With the True Meaning Forging Technique in hand, he faced no bottlenecks before breaking through to the eighth rank.

The only thing lacking is the accumulation and sedimentation of time.

Only when one reaches the peak of the seventh rank and attempts to break through to the eighth rank Grandmaster will one encounter a bottleneck.

therefore.

Two hundred thousand years.

Shen Changqing easily advanced to the middle grade of the seventh rank.

In addition-

As his cultivation of artifact techniques advanced, Shen Changqing could also feel that his sea of ​​consciousness was more stable than it was 200,000 years ago.

If we were to make a comparison, it would be an improvement of about 10%.

The sea of ​​consciousness has become one-tenth stable.

This means that one's own soul is becoming stronger.

Such a change would be quite astonishing even for an ordinary Immortal Emperor.

The soul itself is difficult to cultivate, let alone a mere two hundred thousand years to strengthen the soul in the sea of ​​consciousness by ten percent. Such a transformation is naturally not to be underestimated.

but.

Shen Changqing is no ordinary Immortal Emperor.

He was a being who had truly reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Under such circumstances, being able to advance one's own soul is already considered to have broken through some limits.

Shen Changqing had a deeper understanding of the power of the True Meaning Forging Technique.

and so.

Advancement in the Way of the Artifact.

Shen Changqing remained completely unmoved.

However, the breakthrough in his consciousness and soul stirred something within him.

Even so, Shen Changqing did not realize the bottleneck limit that had prevented him from making any progress.

This means.

If he continues to cultivate the True Meaning Forging Technique, his consciousness and soul can be further enhanced.

In this way, the True Meaning Forging Method becomes even more terrifying.

At Shen Changqing's level, every improvement is astonishing.

Judging from his current situation, he felt that his consciousness and soul could be improved by at least another 20% or 30% before reaching a limit.

"It'll be soon. I'll make further breakthroughs in weapon crafting, and I expect my consciousness and divine soul will also undergo a transformation."

"At most a million years, I should have no problem breaking through to the peak of the seventh tier!"

Shen Changqing already had an idea in mind.

Within a million years.

Break through the seventh level peak.

As soon as he had this thought, Gongsun Yang stepped forward.

"Congratulations, Sect Master, on your advancement to the seventh-tier mid-grade Grandmaster. I just watched you forge weapons and refine artifacts, and I have a few questions in my mind. I wonder if you could answer them for me?"

Hear the words.

Shen Changqing suppressed his distracting thoughts, looked at Gongsun Yang with a fawning smile, and smiled calmly.

"Peak Master Gongsun, please speak frankly!" (End of Chapter)
