Chapter 3635 Another Benefit of Heavenly Merit

Three immortal demon gods have been born.

This also caused quite a stir within the Xuantian Dao Sect.

Any expert at the semi-saint realm is not to be underestimated.

What's more.

Now three have appeared at once.

but.

Shen Changqing neither deliberately publicized the matter nor deliberately suppressed it, allowing the news to spread.

Furthermore, after the Immortal Gods like Blood River established their own Immortal Abodes, they went into seclusion to familiarize themselves with their own power and did not move around the sect. Over time, this matter faded into obscurity.

But everyone knows that the sect now has three more immortal half-saints.

In this regard.

The disciples of Xuantian Dao Sect were all in high spirits.

In this era, the stronger a sect is, the higher its safety level.

Who wouldn't want to rely on a powerful backer and not have to worry about being affected by a major calamity?

This particular calamity has made people understand this even more.

Insufficient strength.

Even if one chooses to live in a remote corner, it is of no use in the face of a great calamity.

When the great calamity sweeps in, those without sufficient strength to resist will be reduced to dust beneath the torrent of destruction.

Therefore.

In recent days, the number of foreign cultivators visiting the Divine Heaven Domain has increased significantly.

With Shen Changqing in charge, the title of Xuan Tian Sword Master deterred others from making any rash moves.

Even veteran Immortal Emperors must keep a low profile at this moment.

at the same time.

In the midst of chaos, another calamity of war descended.

The ultimate treasure for overcoming tribulation was none other than the Immortal Annihilation Array Diagram.

Having slain hundreds of celestial beasts, the killing aura condensed from such a supreme treasure is naturally terrifying beyond measure.

Nourished by a massive amount of killing energy, the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram passed through three levels of military tribulation in one go, becoming an Eighth Tribulation Emperor Immortal Artifact in one step.

As the final heavenly tribulation dissipated, Shen Changqing reached out and saw the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram fall into his hand.

The murderous aura on the crimson array plate seemed to have materialized at this moment, giving people the feeling of facing mountains of corpses and seas of blood with just a glance.

Once you reach this stage, the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram becomes a truly supreme treasure for slaughter.

Such terrifying killing intent could not be truly generated even by slaughtering billions of living beings.

"Unfortunately, it's still difficult to overcome the ninth tribulation. If it could be upgraded to a Ninth Tribulation Emperor Immortal Weapon, then it would truly be comparable to a Primordial Emperor Weapon!"

As Shen Changqing sensed the power of the Immortal Extinction Formation Diagram, a fleeting feeling of regret vanished, quickly replaced by a calm composure.

That being said.

However, the Immortal Extinction Formation Diagram, which has survived eight military tribulations, can be considered the most advanced half-step innate imperial weapon, and is only one step away from being a true innate imperial weapon.

To know.

Even among half-step innate imperial weapons, there are differences in strength.

Having survived eight military tribulations, it is undoubtedly the most powerful half-step innate imperial weapon.

no way.

There is an insurmountable gap between the Immortal Emperor Artifacts and the Innate Emperor Weapons.

Even the so-called half-step innate imperial weapon is still quite different from a true innate imperial weapon.

Therefore.

Even after advancing to the half-step innate imperial weapon level and undergoing several more tribulations to accumulate one's own foundation, it is still not easy to rival a true innate imperial weapon.

However, Shen Changqing could also see that the current Immortal Extinction Formation Diagram was not much different from the Ninth Calamity of War.

With a few more large-scale massacres, surviving the ninth calamity will be no problem at all.

If the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram can truly be upgraded to a Nine Tribulation Emperor Immortal Artifact, with power comparable to a Primordial Emperor Weapon, then his strength will also increase considerably.

after all.

Innate imperial weapons inherently possess extraordinary power.

Even a first-grade innate imperial weapon, if it falls into the hands of a half-saint, would be enough to greatly enhance the half-saint's strength.

Give a simple example.

Both being at the Third Tribulation Half-Saint level, one possesses a First-Rank Innate Emperor Weapon while the other does not. Therefore, the latter would be unlikely to be a match for the former.

But in reality, innate imperial weapons are extremely rare.

Many immortal half-saints may not be able to possess such a treasure; most of them only have Emperor Immortal artifacts.

This is why whenever a Primordial Imperial Weapon appears, it attracts numerous Half-Saints to compete for it.

Without him.

It's just that such treasures are extremely rare.

Of course.

Even now, the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram, which has survived eight military tribulations, is enough to tempt many semi-saints.

Under Shen Changqing's divine sense, many eyes in the chaos secretly coveted it.

Although these demigods were secretly watching, none of them made a move to steal it.

Nowadays, everyone is familiar with the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram. In the chaotic void adjacent to the Divine Heaven Domain, many half-saints know of Shen Changqing's existence.

Without absolute certainty, no one dares to act rashly.

……

"An Eight Tribulation level Immortal Extermination Array Diagram, combined with that Immortal Extermination Sword Array, is even stronger than ordinary innate imperial weapons."

Unfortunately, the strength of this Xuan Tian Sword Master is unmatched by ordinary Immortal Emperors.

Otherwise, how could I possibly ignore such a priceless treasure right before my eyes?

Within a forbidden zone of life, an ancient demigod gazed towards the chaotic void, a cold glint and deep apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Such a prodigy is rare even in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Not only did he, as a Celestial Emperor, fight against a Half-Saint, but he also caused the deaths of more than one Half-Saint at the hands of his opponent.

hard to imagine.

A Celestial Emperor could possess such profound knowledge and resources.

Because he was wary of the other party's strength, this half-saint, despite being extremely envious of the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram, dared not make a move to compete for it.

A bad one.

Forget about obtaining the treasure; you might even lose your life.

the other side.

Shen Changqing had already returned to the Xuantian Dao Sect with the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram.

He has now given up on the idea of ​​fishing with Arcana items.

Having fished so many times before, those who were supposed to fall for the trap have already fallen for it, and those who shouldn't have fallen for it naturally won't try again.

Or rather.

If another powerful figure were to intervene, it would basically mean that they believed they had absolute confidence in their ability to succeed.

Shen Changqing was not afraid of beings at this level, but he did not want to provoke them rashly.

With the completion of the tribulation of the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram, Shen Changqing continued his seclusion to comprehend the art of array formations.

This time.

When he began his seclusion again, Shen Changqing immediately noticed some differences from before.

As he was comprehending the formation, his mind was clear and his spiritual platform was bright. Some obscure and difficult-to-understand principles of formations were now being guided by a mysterious and profound force.

Under this guidance, it becomes much easier to comprehend the formations on one's own.

"It's the effect of Heavenly Merit!"

Shen Changqing quickly discovered that these changes originated from the Heavenly Dao Merit in his sea of ​​consciousness.

obviously.

This is an invisible effect of the Heavenly Way's merits.

With the blessings of Heavenly Merit, one's cultivation is also divinely aided.

In Shen Changqing's view, this was also a manifestation of divine favor.

Just like in the lower universe, with the favor of Heaven, it is easy for him to comprehend the Dao in all the heavens.

However, the upper limit of the Heavenly Dao in the third-order universe is too low, and cannot compare with the Heavenly Dao of the upper realm.

now.

Shen Changqing finally felt the benefits brought by the favor of Heaven in the Upper Realm.

However, in comparison, this level of divine favor is naturally not as obvious as that of the myriad universes.

The latter's attitude towards him had reached the point where they were eager to make him merge with the Dao.

As for the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm, it's at most a little bit of favor towards me.

It's like a fleeting glimpse of a stranger in a crowd, a slight, instinctive feeling of liking for that person, nothing more.

Normally speaking, Heaven regards all living beings as straw dogs, and naturally will not have any goodwill towards any particular being.

But Shen Changqing possesses the merits of the Heavenly Dao, which makes things completely different.

"It seems that Ji Yang still hasn't fully explained the matter of Heavenly Dao Merit, even if it's not possible to condense a golden body of merit, or even to become a saint through merit."

However, possessing sufficient Heavenly Merit is also highly beneficial to one's own cultivation.

To be favored by the heavens is comparable to an unparalleled opportunity.

However, my Heavenly Dao merit is far too lacking. Otherwise, with sufficient Heavenly Dao merit, I might have been able to directly reach the level of Body-to-Dao Integration by relying on the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm!

Shen Changqing's eyes flickered slightly.

If one can merge with the Dao in the upper realm, that would be a true ascension to heaven in one step.

The power of Heaven is often far greater than that of all living beings.

In the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, there have been powerful beings at the level of Chaos Rulers. Therefore, the strength of the Heavenly Dao must be above that of ordinary Chaos Rulers.

If one truly wants to unite with the Dao and wield power at this level...

What Dark Lord!

What a terrible evil spirit!

Shen Changqing could suppress them with a single thought.

but.

He only thought about it.

Reaching the point of merging one's body with the Dao in the upper realm is no easy feat.

If achieving perfect harmony with the Dao were truly that easy, countless powerful individuals would have already reached this point over the centuries; why wait until I did?

"wrong--"

"Perhaps there truly are powerful beings who have attained the Dao through their own bodies, and are currently observing all living beings in the Upper Realm!"

The thought popped into Shen Changqing's mind, and he couldn't help but look at the void outside the Seven Profound Divine Tower, as if there were a pair of eyes staring indifferently at him there.

A strange chill rose from the bottom of his heart, causing Shen Changqing's expression to change.

As a cultivator who had experienced the method of merging the body with the Dao, Shen Changqing knew very well what terrifying power one could wield if one truly merged the body with the Dao.

Stirring up the long river of time.

Evolution and creation of heaven and earth.

Reversing the order of Yin and Yang is nothing more than a trivial matter.

For someone at that level, killing a cultivator is simply a matter of a single thought.

Think of this.

Shen Changqing shook his head again, trying to dispel the thoughts from his mind.

"Forget it, stop overthinking it. If someone were to truly achieve Dao, then those ancient beings should be the ones to fear, not a mere Immortal Emperor like me."

In the eyes of such beings, let alone an Immortal Emperor, even a Half-Saint is nothing more than a slightly larger ant.

Shen Changqing felt that he had been overthinking things.

If someone were to truly unite with the Dao and take control of the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm, then the Upper Realm would not be a place of diverse flourishing, but rather one where only one side reigns supreme.

After all, in the face of such an existence, the Divine Sun Celestial Court and the Three Thousand Great Universes are probably not worth mentioning.

For this reason, Shen Changqing deduced that there should be no cultivator in charge of the Heavenly Dao in the Upper Realm.

Subsequently.

He then stopped thinking about it and continued to comprehend the Dao of Formations. (End of Chapter)
