Chapter 499

Ling Qianxue and the disciples had never heard of such a thing before.

In the records of the Nine Mysteries Realm, there have been many Immortal Platform Realm experts.

They had never heard of anyone exploding and dying because they could not withstand the infusion of immortal energy while ascending the Immortal Platform.

This kind of thing was simply too outrageous.

Su Zhangqing had only broken through the realm after obtaining the complete Indestructible Scripture and having his physique completely transformed.

Naturally, he was different from ordinary cultivators.

Where would others find a peerless cultivation method like the Indestructible Scripture, a creation of heaven and earth?

"This matter is indeed unprecedented; it is truly because Zhangqing's aptitude is too formidable, drawing in too much immortal energy."

"One must know that too much of a good thing can be bad."

"Even with ordinary food and drink, consuming too much will cause problems, let alone immortal energy that contains powerful strength?"

"I don't know what happened to Zhangqing; his aptitude wasn't this heaven-defying before."

Seeing that Ling Qianxue and the disciples could not understand, the Emperor sighed and explained.

"... The Emperor's words are reasonable; too much of a good thing can be bad."

Ling Qianxue and the disciples understood after hearing this.

It really was a problem caused by Su Zhangqing's aptitude being too strong.

"Then what should we do?"

Ling Qianxue asked with a worried face.

She had not expected that Su Zhangqing would be in life-threatening danger just from breaking through a realm.

"We can only wait."

"Wait for Zhangqing to absorb that immortal energy; when he can no longer withstand it, I will save him before he explodes."

"Although outside interference in a breakthrough will lead to a large amount of immortal energy being wasted, causing the breakthrough to fail and leaving him only at the half-step Immortal Platform,"

"it will be even more difficult to break through in the future."

"But we have no choice; it's better than dying."

The Emperor sighed.

"That is the only way."

"What a pity."

Ling Qianxue lowered her head, looking disappointed.

Breaking through a realm can only rely on oneself.

If the Emperor intervenes, it violates the rules of the Heavenly Dao, making it extremely difficult to break through in the future.

But it is still better than dying.

"Zhangqing is reborn from the future; in this life, he must want to make everything perfect, which is why he drew in too much immortal energy during the breakthrough."

"Truly, fate plays tricks on people..."

Ling Qianxue sighed in her heart.

She felt that it was a problem caused by Su Zhangqing pursuing perfection too much during his cultivation after his rebirth.

"The immortal energy is falling!"

At this moment, the disciples let out an exclamation.

The immortal energy, which looked like a pillar of light connecting the heavens, had already fallen onto Su Zhangqing's head.

Although this immortal energy looked like a pillar of light, it was actually a form of energy and not as fast as real light.

The Emperor and Ling Qianxue had been talking for a while before the immortal energy pillar fell.

As soon as the pillar of light fell onto Su Zhangqing's head, it was immediately absorbed into his body like a whale drinking water.

"Crack! Crack!"

Under the infusion of the immortal energy, Su Zhangqing's body emitted terrifying sounds like steel being crushed.

It was simply unbelievable that these were sounds a human body could emit.

Clearly, Su Zhangqing's physique was under extraordinary pressure from so much immortal energy.

It seemed as if he could explode and die at any moment.

Hearing this sound, Ling Qianxue and the disciples were all full of worry.

And the Emperor also had his heart in his throat, ready to intervene and rescue him at any time.

But...

Ten breaths passed, a hundred breaths passed, a quarter of an hour passed.

A full quarter of an hour had passed, and Su Zhangqing was still absorbing that immortal energy.

His body was still emitting those sounds of steel being crushed, but he stood steadily on the Immortal Platform without any issues at all.

And that pillar of immortal energy, after Su Zhangqing's long absorption, had very little left.

"I didn't expect that just cultivating a little would lead to breaking through to the Immortal Platform."

At this moment, Su Zhangqing sighed slightly in his heart.

Su Zhangqing himself was somewhat surprised that he could break through so quickly.

Previously, he had intended to just cultivate casually and hadn't thought about breaking through.

After all, breaking through is not that easy.

Who could have imagined that the power of the complete Indestructible Scripture would be so great that Su Zhangqing, having only cultivated for two hours, would break through two barriers in a row, stepping directly from the Eighth Stage Saint into the Immortal Platform in one step.

"However, this Immortal Platform is truly stingy; just this little bit of immortal energy?"
