332. Chapter 322: Nine Lives to Become an Immortal, the Heavenly Emperor is in the Human World! World Tree
"Actually, I could do more, but my current strength and realm haven't reached the peak yet, and many operations are difficult to perform. I have to wait until the later stages when I truly possess an invincible posture and can shatter everyone's imprints before I can attempt them..."
Zhang Xuan completed this earth-shattering feat in the blink of an eye, leaving the many figures present speechless, yet he remained very calm.
Still not arrogant.
The words he spoke, however, shook the world.
"I still want to conduct some small, subtle experiments. The techniques of my friends from the Foreign Realm are very interesting; perhaps I can change the unforgettable regrets for all of you..."
The group was confused.
But Zhang Xuan did not continue speaking, and then, in front of the many figures and the most terrifying, strongest individuals,
Zhang Xuan performed a series of transformations.
The energy and Origin within his body changed time and time again, each time advancing further on the existing foundation.
Every passing period of time, Zhang Xuan's own Dao Fruit, as well as his own imprints and traces, underwent changes.
That change was visible to their naked eyes and could be easily perceived. Each time, Zhang Xuan did not avoid them, openly transforming in their presence, and the interval between each transformation was not very long.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth, fifth, sixth time...
And while they waited, the most anticipated and eye-catching ninth time was finally completed at the end.
Or rather, the transformations after the final six times were already very peaceful and gentle; they could not even feel the traces of time flowing on Zhang Xuan.
After the sixth time, they could no longer understand each round of transformation; they only knew that the figure before them was becoming stronger and stronger, strong to a point they could not imagine.
And with every transformation, the head of the God King of God Kings above Earth would shrink by a circle, and endless energy would surge out, merging into the heaven and earth; that scene shook the heavens and the earth.
In the perception of the many Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors, the ceiling of this world was becoming higher and more peculiar.
Even later on, they could sense that faint, elusive Immortal Substance between heaven and earth.
Although that Immortal Substance was very thin and could only very slowly delay the aging of their lifespans.
But being able to do this was already earth-shattering, because originally, only within the Forbidden Zones could one have such a level and strength.
And now, this atmosphere permeated the entire Universe; with the abilities and realms of the Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors, each one could easily live for thirty thousand years.
This is heaven and earth recovering, spiritual energy recovering, and it is not the kind of recovery from the past, but a true progression from decline to prosperity, and prosperity within prosperity.
Finally, at the most peak and peculiar moment, Zhang Xuan lightly exhaled a breath and smiled: "It is done!"
At that moment, his body was simple and unadorned, without much change, and a nine-colored Immortal Gold tower flashed with immortal light above his head.
The purest and most sacred power flowed within it, not inferior to the Desolate Tower and the Immortal Bell.
"This is..."
The Jiuli Great Emperor, who had walked out from the Forbidden Zone, watched with hands that could not help but tremble, and then he heard Zhang Xuan say a sentence lightly and indifferently.
"That's right, I have become an Immortal. Reaching my realm, it can be counted as a Red Dust Immortal!"
The voice was neither high nor low, but the many Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors present felt their hearts go numb, genuinely shocked.
"Just... just like that, became an Immortal?"
The greatest pursuit of a lifetime, the heavenly condemnation that everyone believed could not be crossed, yet right before them, someone had crossed it easily, and in total, it hadn't even taken much time.
One day or two days?
Oh, it was probably nine days.
One transformation a day; after nine days, nine lives to become an Immortal.
It was simply unimaginable.
And Zhang Xuan, facing the shock of the many figures, did not care, instead smiling slightly.
"What just happened was just an appetizer; what follows is what I truly intend to do!"
With a wave of his hand, many palaces flew into the galaxy, suspended between the cosmic stars, and at the same time, a point of green light bloomed from Zhang Xuan's fingertips.
Everyone saw a uniform, brilliant seed bloom at Zhang Xuan's fingertips and sink into the galaxy.
It was clearly an extremely tiny seed, but the many figures saw the Universe, saw the galaxy, and saw the entire heaven and earth.
"That is?"
A group of people were confused and misunderstood, yet simultaneously shocked.
They saw a green tree where the Shenmo Lingyuan had originally been collapse, turning into a verdant green bow, and finally into a stream of the purest Origin Essence, which sank into that seed; that seed immediately took root and sprouted.
It was clearly growing out of thin air, but when the roots grew out, they connected with the entire heaven and earth; those roots seemed to be condensed from the rules of the world, leading in all directions, and the entire Universe seemed to have a connection with that seedling.
Watching that seedling grow was like watching the entire Universe breathe.
And that clearly tiny seedling grew to be even larger than heaven and earth; it grew rapidly, roots sprouted, branches grew, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the heavens and the earth.
A single leaf was as huge as a planet, supporting the palace complex that Zhang Xuan had created out of thin air earlier.
As the tree grew, the entire palace complex was carried on the two tender leaves at the very top, following it as it pierced into the firmament, rising high into the clouds, invisible.
And Zhang Xuan stood at the highest point of the palace, facing the many figures and saying softly: "This is a seedling of the World Tree!"
The many figures were confused, having never heard of this ancient tree.
And Zhang Xuan was not impatient, introducing it slowly and leisurely.
"In the Immortal Ancient Era, the most powerful universes would all possess a World Tree.
"The World Tree carries the rules of the entire world, and above it is endless power. As the World Tree grows, the entire Multiverse will also continuously expand. As long as the World Tree is robust and healthy, even if the entire Multiverse, the entire world, encounters problems, it will gradually be repaired.
"And in the peak battle of the Immortal Ancient, the World Tree that belonged to our heaven and earth was beaten to death by you all, and because of that, the entire Immortal Ancient continuously fell into ruin.
"By the Luan Gu Era, Supremes could only live for a million years, and by our current era, invincible Great Emperors can only live for ten thousand years.
"Now, I want to recast the glory of the Immortal Ancient Era, make the entire heaven and earth strong enough, and make this world comparable to the Immortal Ancient; what needs to be done is to raise another World Tree.
"Originally, I could not do it, but a friend of mine from the Foreign Realm once gave me the remains of such a divine tree. I used its Origin as a foundation, added a seed of a perfect Inner Heaven and Earth.
"Together, I cultivated this seedling of the World Tree. Now it is still very fragile and needs us to maintain it together."
"Fragile?"
An invincible Ancient Emperor looked down; at this very moment, inserted into the starry sky, this seedling, magnificent beyond imagination, could be seen by the entire Universe.
The rules above the seedling were densely packed layer upon layer, with Immortal Substance merging into it; even a supreme figure at the Quasi-Emperor level would find it impossible to shake this tree, and it was still growing at an extremely rapid speed.
"A seedling?"
Looking at the tree trunk that was already broader than a galaxy, a group of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors were stunned and speechless.
Zhang Xuan, however, nodded earnestly.
"This is the foundation of the future. In its infancy, it requires us to cultivate it diligently. When it grows strong enough, it will be able to take root in the Chaos, exhaling and inhaling endless Essence from the Chaos to nourish this world in return..."
While he was speaking, this ancient tree had already broken through a layer of restriction, and even figures at the Great Emperor level were shaken, feeling the Emperor Dao laws permeating above this ancient tree.
Relying on these laws, they had no way to shake this ancient tree.
"Protect?"
In this state, they were to protect it?
They suspected that if they waited a while longer, they would be eaten by this tree.
They felt that they could not even defeat this ancient tree.
They even saw that the tree's main root system was rooted in the void, directly extending for an endless distance.
It had grown to the place where Earth's Kunlun was, and had pierced into the area where the head of the God King of God Kings was located.
That was simply a matter that would shock Immortals.
But in front of this ancient tree, it was very ordinary.
Zhang Xuan understood the attitudes and states of the various figures, so he smiled and said: "Don't just watch; you should all strive to improve yourselves as well."
"Back when I was still weak, many of my depressed friends were willing to help me and send me a few things, but when one becomes powerful, one must help each other to obtain enough things."
"Later, if we want to return the entire world to the Luan Gu era, to the state of the Immortal Ancient period, we must rely on our joint efforts."
"It is impossible for me to settle everything; many times, I will need you to take action."
The many figures heard these words, feeling both shocked and puzzled.
"Does this mean we have to cross between universes to fight?"
Zhang Xuan nodded earnestly, and even counted them off on his fingers for them.
"As of now, there are two—oh, it should be three regions that require us to fight."
"One is the place that sent me so many God and Demon Graveyards; they want to shatter the Origin of the Heavenly Dao of the world they are in, allowing those monsters with consciousness to return to a normal state."
This was referring to the Shenmu World.
If the Heavenly Dao of the Shenmu World were to be beaten to death, then it would be reasonable and fair to carve out a portion of energy from the Shenmu World.
Using the purest Origin of heaven and earth to strengthen this world.
Hearing this, the expressions of the many figures present relaxed slightly.
They had felt the many figures who died in that graveyard; most of them were between the Saint Realm and the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and only the powerful ones were in the Great Emperor Realm.
They could not be considered very powerful.
And Zhang Xuan keenly saw the gazes of the many figures, smiled, and shook his head, saying: "A large portion of the figures in that graveyard are just making up the numbers. If that final battle is to be fought, a large batch of them are only fit to be used as energy. Yes, you heard me right; their lifelong cultivation only served to make their energy purer so it could be used as energy for others."
"If you want to truly be able to help those friends, it is best to further improve on your existing foundation; what you have now is not enough."
Zhang Xuan spoke very lightly, then pointed to the head of the God King of God Kings located at Earth's Kunlun.
"As for the other one that needs help, it is the friend who sent me the head of the God King of God Kings."
Hearing about that head, the many figures present all changed color, especially Qilin Ancient Emperor, who had been shattered by a single roar from that head of the God King of God Kings back then.
And Zhang Xuan said nonchalantly: "There are twenty-six more like him; they are all enemies. If we want to go over there, it is best to beat them all to death."
A group of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors all changed color.
They felt this difficulty was too abnormal and the requirements too terrifying, and Zhang Xuan, seeing their posture, smiled and said: "This head is already a weakened version of a weakened version, and the gap between it and those twenty-six is still very obvious."
"To fight those twenty-six figures, you are still lacking something."
These words were indeed correct; in the world of Ascension After, Fengyun Wuji and the entire Ancient Human Race needed to face the Light and Dark Thirteen Main Gods.
That is to say, thirteen Light Main Gods and thirteen Dark Main Gods.
It would be fine to wait for Fengyun Wuji to clean them up slowly, but since there was a Chat Group and friends had provided help in advance, Zhang Xuan naturally had to give back.
Of course, giving back was one purpose; another purpose was to take the opportunity to scrape energy and Origin from these most powerful figures to strengthen the world he was in.
After all, the Zhetian Great Universe had experienced the Immortal Ancient and Luan Gu eras, as well as the long years that followed, and had already declined to a very fragile point where Supremes were already the ceiling.
Immortal Substance could only supply a Supreme to live for ten thousand years; this was simply the weakest of the weak.
To overtake on a bend, one must either rely on time to grind it out slowly, but that takes too much time and energy, which is not what Zhang Xuan wants.
The other way is to find a new path and extract power from other worlds.
"As for the third world..."
Zhang Xuan paused slightly here, thinking of Chang Sheng Jie.
"That friend didn't send me too many things, but the situation in the world he is in is even worse..."
Thinking of that pile of God Emperor-level figures, even Zhang Xuan's face revealed a slightly troubled expression; any one of them was absolutely an existence at the Immortal King level.
Or even more terrifying; wanting to go up against such terrifying monsters.
Right now, all the many figures added together were not quite enough.
The difficulty level was too high.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan didn't even mention the third world, the many Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors immediately understood.
They knew that it was absolutely an unimaginable, extremely terrifying existence.
One by one, their expressions became solemn.
And in this ancient heavenly palace, Zhang Xuan set up the fifth Stone Tablet.
The cultivation insights of Emperor Zun, Undying Emperor, Wushi Dadi, Ruthless Great Emperor, and Zhang Xuan himself.
Among them, the cultivation insights of Di Zun and Zhang Xuan were the most complete, leading directly to the realm of the Red Dust Immortal.
The insights of Wushi Dadi were the fewest, because after several lifetimes, Wushi Dadi forcefully broke into the Strange World, and his subsequent transformations did not take place within this Universe, so Zhang Xuan could not see them.
Those of the Undying Emperor were also relatively complete, with most present, but their reference value was not very high, because the Undying Emperor was himself a pure-blooded phoenix, naturally possessing the ability of Nirvana.
Not to mention that the Undying Emperor relied on the essence blood of many Ancient Emperors and the Great Earth, step by step undergoing Nirvana and transformation.
The most worthy of reference were the transformations of Zhang Xuan, Di Zun, and the Ruthless Great Emperor.
The Ruthless Great Emperor was the most unique; time and time again, her transformations were all forged through sheer, unyielding effort.
Many figures fell into a round of enlightenment, while Zhang Xuan looked at the seven Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors gathered at his side, shaking his head slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.
Then he looked up at the boundless void, a smile appearing on his face.
"Others need to wait for long years, waiting for new Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors to appear, but I certainly do not need to do so."
