Chapter 491: Ascending to Nine Tribulations Mahayana, Sealing the Immortal Beast, One Hundred Million Years of Lifespan

At this very moment, in the Immortal World, within the Human Territory, in the Manxiang Mountain Range.

Above the sky, dark clouds gathered, covering a radius of one million kilometers; countless Immortal Thunder bolts flickered, appearing like dancing dragons and snakes, emitting waves of terrifying, destructive aura.

Clearly, someone was undergoing a tribulation here.

A figure stood tall in mid-air, bathed beneath golden Tribulation Lightning.

Every bolt of golden Tribulation Lightning was incomparably terrifying, containing fearsome destructive power sufficient to destroy a True Immortal.

And this person was none other than Zhou Sui.

He was currently undergoing his ninth Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation.

However, he had not triggered the Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation in the Xuanhuang World or the Spirit World, but in the Immortal World.

Admittedly, if one undergoes the Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation in the Immortal World, the power is more than doubled compared to the Mortal World.

But the benefits gained after surviving the tribulation would undoubtedly also be doubled.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Sui intended to undergo the tribulation in the Immortal World, so that the benefits he gained would be greater.

Moreover, after practicing the Ziwei Response Tribulation Art, he had shortened the time required for his own tribulation.

In a mere thousand years, he had triggered nine Great Vehicle Immortal Thunder Tribulations.

Thereby helping his cultivation level rapidly step into the Nine Tribulations Mahayana realm.

Of course, thanks to the help of the Tribulation Thunder Gu, he had also logically survived the nine Immortal Thunder Tribulations.

Boom—

In an instant, dozens or even hundreds of golden Tribulation Lightning bolts crashed down like a rainstorm, covering this area.

Facing such power, even a True Immortal would likely be struck to death alive.

But the Tribulation Thunder Gu flew out instantly, opened its mouth wide, and immediately swallowed the streaks of golden Tribulation Lightning into its belly, which also caused the Tribulation Thunder Gu's cultivation to advance greatly.

Vaguely, streaks of golden Tribulation Lightning appeared within its body, and the thunder energy inside it increased further.

"It's done; I have finally survived the nine Immortal Thunder Tribulations."

"If I survive the final True Immortal Thunder Tribulation, then I will be able to condense the True Immortal Dao Fruit."

"And truly step into the True Immortal Realm."

Zhou Sui looked up at the firmament; the originally dense black tribulation clouds dissipated with a roar at this moment, and then a massive amount of Creation Qi descended from the depths of the Void.

The infinite Creation Qi instantly merged into his body, being devoured and absorbed by every cell in his body.

At this moment, he felt the Immortal Power within his body increasing geometrically.

In fact, this was also why he wanted to undergo the tribulation in the Immortal World.

Because every time a tribulation is successfully survived, one receives a gift from the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal World, and a massive amount of Creation Qi descends.

The influx of this Creation Qi could save him thousands of years of bitter cultivation.

It was precisely because of this that he could successfully survive nine Thunder Tribulations within a thousand years.

It could be said that his current cultivation was equivalent to the perfection of the Great Vehicle Realm.

He was only one step away from stepping into the True Immortal Realm.

This was the result of his thousand years of bitter cultivation; the benefits were immense, and the progress was significant.

Boom—

Just at this moment, a series of terrifying vibrations came from the depths of the mountain range; it was as if the mountains were shaking and the earth was moving, as if a massive earthquake had occurred, kicking up endless dust and smoke.

One could see giant elephants appearing in the distance, resembling mountains; they had bronze-colored skin, and dense Immortal Runes appeared on their bodies, seemingly formed naturally.

Heavenly Rune Manxiang!

This was a type of Immortal Beast that lived in the Manxiang Mountain Range.

The elephant hide on their bodies was one of the best materials for refining Immortal Talismans, their flesh and blood could strengthen an Immortal's physique, and their bones were also extremely hard, capable of becoming materials for Immortal Artifacts.

If one could hunt a Heavenly Rune Manxiang, one could make a huge profit and obtain a large amount of Immortal Stones.

The pity was that these Heavenly Rune Manxiang were extremely fierce; they possessed infinite strength, sufficient to rival True Immortals, and the naturally formed Immortal Runes engraved on their bodies could trigger the power of heaven and earth, forming formidable barriers; even the power of a True Immortal could not break through their rune barriers.

What was even more terrifying was that these Heavenly Rune Manxiang liked to gather in groups, often dozens or hundreds at a time.

Even if a True Immortal encountered them, they would give them a wide berth.

If one encountered a gathering of ten thousand Heavenly Rune Manxiang, even a Heavenly Immortal would not dare to provoke them.

It was precisely because of this that this vast mountain range was named the Manxiang Mountain Range, spanning 3.6 trillion kilometers, where large tribes of Heavenly Rune Manxiang resided.

They were the absolute overlords of this place.

Thump, thump, thump!!!

Clearly, at this moment, this group of Heavenly Rune Manxiang sensed that someone was undergoing a tribulation here, detected the presence of prey, and then rushed over to hunt; if they could devour an Immortal, the benefits gained would naturally be astonishing.

They exhaled their aura, and as they stampeded, the surrounding rocks shattered, and the towering trees nearby snapped instantly.

However, the space of the Immortal World was simply too solid.

Even if their strength was equivalent to a True Immortal, to the Immortal World, they were nothing more than ordinary beings.

They could not cause much damage to the land of the Immortal World.

But if they appeared in a Mortal World, they could likely easily blow up thousands of planets with a mere gesture.

They would even be sufficient to tear apart Middle Thousand Worlds and cause Great Thousand Worlds to collapse.

Even if a Heavenly Immortal took action, unleashing an Immortal Technique with a full-force strike, they could only collapse a single mountain in the Immortal World.

"They actually set their sights on me?"

"They came at the right time."

"It is just the right time to test the power of my current Immortal Techniques."

At this moment, Zhou Sui was not alarmed but delighted.

He had become a Nine Tribulations Mahayana, and his cultivation as a Cultivator had reached an unprecedented level.

Now he does not even know just how powerful he has become.

Even if a True Immortal were before him, it would be nothing more than that.

After all, he has mastered the power of many Immortal Techniques, each of which possesses earth-shattering might.

Previously, when he had just ascended to Great Vehicle, there was not much Immortal Power within his body, and he could not cast Immortal Techniques too many times.

But now it is different.

After becoming a Nine Tribulations Mahayana, the Immortal Power within his body has increased geometrically.

Compared to before, it has likely increased by more than a hundredfold.

Immortal Technique—Great Chaos Thunder Art!

In an instant, Zhou Sui immediately channeled the power of the Tribulation Thunder Gu, instantly summoning streaks of terrifying thunder, seemingly drawing upon the power of the laws of thunder between heaven and earth.

Then, streaks of golden Tribulation Lightning descended from the sky, like precision missiles, bombarding these hundreds of Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephants.

Boom!

Before these Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephants could react, the streaks of golden Tribulation Lightning actually broke through their Heavenly Talisman barriers with ease, directly infiltrating their bodies.

"Roar!"

Many Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephants could not help but let out a shrill cry; they could not help but collapse to the ground, their skin shattering, gushing out large amounts of blood, experiencing incomparable pain.

One by one, their bodies stiffened, simply unable to move.

This is the prowess of the Great Chaos Thunder Art.

And this Immortal Technique fuses Tribulation Lightning, as well as the power of Immortal Lightning, specifically to destroy all kinds of defenses.

Even the defenses of the Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephants could not withstand it at all.

It can be said that this power is purely the nemesis of the Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephants.

However, even so, this power still cannot kill this group of Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephants for the time being.

As True Immortal-level Immortal Beasts, they possess a terrifying characteristic, which is an immortal body.

As long as they are not killed instantly and their primordial spirits destroyed, they will regenerate their flesh and blood.

Moreover, the regenerative ability of Immortal Beasts is even more formidable than that of Human immortals.

Therefore, if one does not continue to attack, these Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephants will soon recover as before.

"It is truly a pity to just kill them."

"All of you, become a part of my power."

"Immortal Technique—Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison."

A glint of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes; he immediately channeled the Dragon Elephant Gu to cast the Heavenly Immortal Art, Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison.

He saw his large hand grab out, and countless Dragon Elephant Runes surged forth, forming a massive Dragon Elephant cage.

The next second, this massive Dragon Elephant cage instantly imprisoned the hundreds of Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephants.

Then it continuously compressed, forming a dark golden sphere, upon which were engraved dense Dragon Elephant Runes, as if many Dragon Elephants were roaming within.

Swish!

Following that, this dark golden sphere immediately submerged into his body and was integrated into one of his Dragon Elephant Cells.

Rumble~~

Immediately, Zhou Sui sensed a mysterious power surging from deep within his body, making the Dragon Elephant Bloodline within his body even more concentrated, and an invisible power was immediately added to him.

It seemed that at this moment, the power on his body had also received a huge increase.

This is the prowess of Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison.

The power of those living beings that have been sealed and imprisoned will also be integrated into his own body.

Causing their power to be added to him.

It can even extract the Source Energy within their bodies, accelerating his cultivation speed.

One must know, these are hundreds of True Immortal-level Immortal Beasts.

One can imagine just how terrifying a power is contained within them.

"Too strong."

"If I could imprison hundreds more Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephants, I would likely be able to break through immediately and ascend to True Immortal."

Zhou Sui clenched his fists, feeling very excited.

Clearly, this Immortal Technique, Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison, is a Heavenly Immortal Art of nourishing war through war.

As long as one can imprison one Immortal after another and suppress them deep within one's own body, one can deprive them of the Source Energy within their bodies to help oneself rapidly improve one's cultivation.

This is a hundred times better than taking any kind of spiritual Pill.

"Not good, it seems I have alarmed those ancient Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephants."

A glint of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes; he felt a great murderous intent surging over, and auras of Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal levels erupted instantly from the depths of the Manxiang Mountain Range, clearly containing incomparable fury.

One must know, the Manxiang Mountain Range is the territory of the Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephant clan.

If one kills too many Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephants, it will enrage the Ancestor of the Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephants in the depths of the mountain range.

Kill the young, and you will provoke the old.

This is also the reason why not many immortals dare to run wild in the Manxiang Mountain Range.

Previously, he had also honestly undergone his tribulation in the Manxiang Mountain Range and did not go to provoke those Immortal Beasts of the Manxiang Mountain Range.

It is just that now that he has ascended to Nine Tribulations Mahayana and his strength has expanded, he wants to do something big.

Since these Heavenly Talisman Savage Elephants came to provoke him, then he cannot be blamed.

Swish!

Without another word, Zhou Sui's figure flashed, and he immediately entered the internal space of one of the vines of the Evergreen Immortal Vine.

One must know, after a thousand years of development, the power of the Evergreen Immortal Vine has once again surged.

Now it has already gestated one hundred and eight Void Vines.

These Void Vines have also spread throughout the deep earth of the Manxiang Mountain Range.

In other words, Zhou Sui can escape into the earth at any time, enter the Void Vines, and then return to the Mortal World.

Even if an immortal wanted to kill him, it would be an impossible task.

Rumble~~~

Just at the moment Zhou Sui left, Heaven Talisman Manxiang, each tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand zhang tall, appeared in mid-air, their bodies permeated with terrifying auras, and their fearsome divine sense swept across the entire Manxiang Mountain Range, as if they wanted to dig three feet deep.

But no matter what, they could not find any trace of Zhou Sui.

In the end, they could only leave in helplessness.

Fortunately, the population of the Heaven Talisman Manxiang is extremely vast, so the death or injury of over a hundred Heaven Talisman Manxiang is nothing.

…………

One minute later, Xuanhuang World, Xuanhuang Peak, a Cave Abode.

At this time, Zhou Sui had also returned to the Xuanhuang World.

"As expected, the power of the Immortal Technique Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison is more than just this."

"The cultivation base on my body has been completely and thoroughly concealed."

"In this way, wouldn't it mean that the laws of the mortal world cannot detect my cultivation base?"

"In the future, even if I truly become a True Immortal, I fear I will not be repelled."

A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.

As he continuously practiced the Immortal Technique Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison, he also discovered that this immortal technique was not merely as simple as suppressing and sealing enemies; it was also a method of sealing.

It can condense every cell in one's body into a small Diyu.

In this way, all the power in his body can be concentrated into the cells within his body.

Every cell contains Void Force, which can not only imprison prisoners but also seal one's own cultivation base, thereby ensuring that the cultivation base on his body does not leak a single bit.

In this case, he is just like a mortal; as long as he does not unleash his power, the mortal laws will not know that he is already an immortal.

They might even treat him as a mortal.

If even the mortal laws cannot detect it, then there is even less need to mention immortals.

Even if he appeared in front of an immortal, no matter how the immortal tested him, they would find that he was nothing more than a mortal.

There is not a shred of Dharma Power, Immortal Power, or other special powers on his body.

"Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison is also a sealing immortal technique."

"It can form a Dragon Elephant Seal."

"It can not only be used on oneself, but also on others."

"That is to say, I can also seal the cultivation bases of my Dao Companions."

"In the future, even if they ascend to the True Immortal Realm, they can continue to stay in the Mortal World."

Zhou Sui clenched his fists.

He felt that he had completely resolved his worries; previously, he had also feared that his Dao Companions would ascend to the Immortal World and encounter all sorts of troubles there.

But now it is fine; with the power of his Immortal Technique Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison, even if they truly become True Immortals, they will not be repelled by the mortal laws and thus ascend.

To tell the truth, the reason for ascending to the Immortal World is actually because the Immortal World has abundant resources that can help one progress further.

However, now that he has the help of the Evergreen Immortal Vine, even without ascending to the Immortal World, he can enter the Immortal World to steal cultivation resources, thereby helping his cultivation base improve.

In that case, why bother ascending to the Immortal World? Staying in the Mortal World is just as good for cultivation.

More importantly, hiding in the Mortal World means being in an invincible position; he can avoid all kinds of dangers from the Immortal World and does not need to worry about encountering those formidable immortals.

It can also give him a long time to continuously develop.

When he promotes to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, or even a higher realm, it will not be too late to wreak havoc in the Immortal World.

"Wait, if I can seal my cultivation base and stay in the Mortal World, then can those True Spirit Level existences also do this and stay in the Spirit World?"

Suddenly, Zhou Sui could not help but think of this point.

To tell the truth, he still feels that the True Spirits of the Spirit World have unfathomable cultivation bases and unparalleled combat power.

The reason those True Spirits are invincible in the Spirit World and comparable to True Immortals is not only because their innate talents are amazing, but perhaps their own cultivation bases are also earth-shattering.

Even he knows that the Immortal World is fraught with danger, and if one were to ascend to the Immortal World rashly, one might not necessarily gain any benefits.

Especially these Innate True Spirits, which make countless immortals drool with greed.

If one's strength is powerful, it is fine, and no one dares to covet anything.

If one's cultivation base is weak, then one might be captured by immortals; being a slave or servant is still fine, but the most feared thing is being directly captured and refined into various Immortal Pills.

In this way, for the True Spirits, ascending to the Immortal World is purely seeking death.

It is precisely because of this that if these True Spirits want to ascend, they must possess a certain degree of self-preservation power; otherwise, it would be better to continue lurking in the Mortal World.

It can be said that the Mortal World is indeed the best nest for True Spirits.

No matter how much those immortals drool with greed, it is impossible for them to have any ideas about the True Spirits.

"In that case, those True Spirits might indeed only be at the Great Vehicle Realm, or more likely, the True Immortal Realm."

"Even reaching the Earth Immortal level would not be a strange thing."

"After all, I am not the only one who knows sealing techniques; it is very normal for other True Spirits to have learned them as well."

"However, this is nothing; anyway, the Mortal World is so large that it is enough to accommodate many top powerhouses."

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui also relaxed quite a bit.

In essence, there is actually no conflict between himself and the True Spirits of the Spirit World.

If the other party does not come to provoke him, he will not act rashly.

For him, the most important thing at present is still to improve his own cultivation base, allowing himself to promote to the True Immortal Realm, Earth Immortal Realm, and even the Heavenly Immortal Realm, etc.

After all, in the eyes of the Immortal World, he was merely a mortal.

If he wasn't even a True Immortal, if he wasn't a mortal, then what else could he be?

He was still far too lacking, and it was nowhere near the time to be arrogant.

For now, he still needed to act with a low profile.

Of course, if an enemy wanted to do him harm, it likely wouldn't be that simple.

His power for self-preservation was still decent; even if True Spirits were to surround and attack him, it would be impossible for them to do anything to him.

"Since I have ascended to the realm of the Nine Tribulations Mahayana, the next step is the True Immortal Realm."

"To ascend to True Immortal, one needs to transform the Dao Seed within the body and thoroughly condense it into a Dao Fruit."

"Only by condensing it into a True Immortal Dao Fruit can one truly be considered to have stepped into the realm of immortals."

"Otherwise, one is merely a Loose Immortal."

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground.

He felt the vast Immortal Power surging within his body; after passing through the nine Immortal Thunder Tribulations, the Immortal Power in his body had increased geometrically.

The nine Immortal Thunder Tribulations represented his ascension from the early stage of Mahayana to the late stage of Mahayana.

It could be said to be a rapid advance.

He saw that the Dao Seed deep within his sea of consciousness seemed to have grown several times larger than before, with dense Fazhe Wenlu emerging on its surface, as if it were communicating with the Origin deep within the Void, appearing incomparably profound and unfathomable.

Basically, as long as his mind moved, it seemed he could trigger the resonance of many Heavenly Laws.

"However, condensing the Immortal Dao Fruit is also an easy task for me."

"Not to mention the various foundations I possess, my talent alone is the famous Immortal Spirit Root."

"Possessing an Immortal Spirit Root means one is destined to become an immortal."

"Because the Immortal Spirit Root is actually the embryonic form of the True Immortal Dao Fruit."

"For me, this realm basically has no bottlenecks."

"As long as the cultivation base is sufficient, then it can be achieved in one step."

Zhou Sui's expression was very calm.

The reason his cultivation progress had been so smooth over the past thousand years naturally had a great deal to do with his Immortal Spirit Root.

Possessing such astonishing aptitude meant that he had no bottlenecks before becoming an immortal.

As long as his cultivation base continued to improve, he would naturally be able to break through one barrier after another.

Those barriers that trapped other Great Vehicle Cultivators were practically non-existent to him.

That was why his cultivation had been so smooth over the past thousand years.

Boom~~

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui immediately opened his Virtual Panel to see how his current cultivation stood.

Suddenly, countless pieces of data appeared before him.

"My lifespan has actually increased to one hundred million years? This is truly too exaggerated."

Zhou Sui's pupils contracted, and a small shock could not help but well up in his heart.

Although he knew that he had passed nine consecutive Immortal Thunder Tribulations and swallowed a large amount of Creation Qi, thereby causing the Longevity Substance in his body to increase geometrically.

But he had not expected that his lifespan would actually reach the level of one hundred million years.

One must know that even the lifespan of a True Immortal is only ten million years.

Of course, if one can survive a tribulation, one can live for another ten million years.

However, the vast majority of True Immortals have no chance of surviving their first tribulation.

Only an extremely small number of True Immortals have the opportunity to survive a tribulation.

After all, if one were truly very talented, one would have long since comprehended the Space Law and ascended to Earth Immortal.

How could one possibly continue to remain in the True Immortal Realm?

Immortals who are perpetually trapped in the True Immortal Realm are basically people with no talent, so it is very normal that they cannot survive the tribulation; this is also common practice in the Immortal World.
