Chapter 508: The Xuanhuang World a Thousand Years Later, the True Immortal Enveloping the Xuanhuang Sect

A thousand years later.

Xuanhuang World, a certain continent.

This is the location of the Earth Mother Sect, and it is also one of the affiliated sects of the Xuanhuang Sect.

Sects like this are simply too numerous to count in the Xuanhuang World.

But they all belong to the Xuanhuang Sect as affiliated sects, transporting talent to the Xuanhuang Sect.

And the Sect Master of the Earth Mother Sect is none other than Gu Changsheng, a Cultivator from the Yuhua Sect in the Earth Immortal World.

It is just that he was coveted by an Elder within his sect who attempted to seize the Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron he possessed; as a result, at the critical moment, he relied on the power of the Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron to escape and thus arrived in the Xuanhuang World.

After so many years of cultivation, his cultivation base has finally improved to the Refining Void Realm Early-Stage.

"Finally promoted to the Refining Void Realm."

Gu Changsheng clenched his fists; even though more than two thousand years have passed, he still has not forgotten such hatred.

"This concerns my Dao path; I must find a way to resolve it."

A super power capable of occupying boundless territory.

"What's more, the other party stays in the Yuhua Sect year after year, so the chances of finding an opportunity to kill him are simply few and far between."

That former Yuhua Sect Elder almost killed him; if he does not slay the other party, he will always have a Heart Demon.

"Heh, that Yuhua Sect Elder is an Integration Stage Cultivator."

"As far as I know, the Xuanhuang Sect seems to have a Tribulation Transcendence Holy Land, which can not only weaken the power of the Thunder Tribulation but also weaken the power of the Heart Demon Tribulation, which makes it very easy for many Xuanhuang Sect Disciples to pass through their tribulations."

Gu Changsheng is very emotional.

"But it hasn't reached that extent."

In the last thousand years, they have also stepped into the Great Vehicle Realm one after another.

"With your current cultivation base, is going back to the Yuhua Sect seeking death?"

To a certain extent, Ji Bingyu and the others are like cultivating in the Immortal World.

"In other words, the Xuanhuang Sect has given birth to at least twenty Great Vehicle Loose Immortals."

"If this is the case, then I am afraid it is also time for you to join the Xuanhuang Sect."

In just over two thousand years of development, the Xuanhuang Sect has simply developed to a staggering degree.

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron spoke up to dispel the other party's thoughts; such strength alone is far from being enough to possess the ability to take revenge, at most it can be considered as having the power of self-preservation.

It does not want the successor it worked so hard to find to just die at the hands of an enemy like this.

Coupled with the assistance of many Treasure Pills, their progress is naturally quite rapid.

"When the Heart Demon Tribulation appears at that time, I may not be able to pass it."

After all, for a Great Vehicle Cultivator, the most important thing is not the improvement of the cultivation base, but the perception of the Heavenly Law.

Gu Changsheng feels that with the improvement of his cultivation base, the Heart Demon deep in his heart seems to be getting more and more serious.

Even if the Xuanhuang Sect were placed in the Earth Immortal World, it would be one of the top super sects.

In fact, it is still because Zhou Sui obtained a large amount of cultivation resources from the Immortal World.

"It is said that the current Xuanhuang Sect, not only has the Xuanhuang Sect Master become a Great Vehicle Cultivator, but even his twenty-some Dao Companions seem to have all been promoted to the Great Vehicle Realm."

If things continue like this, perhaps he will die under the Heart Demon Tribulation in the future.

"But if I don't kill that enemy, my hatred will not dissipate."

The difference between the two is simply too far.

Only by killing such a life-and-death enemy can he go further.

Of course, the reason why the cultivation progress of Ji Bingyu and the others is so fast.

"Such combat power is simply too exaggerated."

However, after being promoted to the Great Vehicle Realm, their cultivation speed deliberately slowed down a bit.

"Only the Xuanhuang Sect can help you solve such a problem."

"Now I should also have the ability to go back to the Yuhua Sect for revenge."

"Wait until you are promoted to the Integration Stage before talking about it."

"The Xuanhuang Sect is indeed unfathomable, and the speed of development is simply too fast."

It has stayed in the Xuanhuang World with Gu Changsheng for so long, so it naturally knows very well how unfathomable the Xuanhuang Sect is.

Although the number of Great Vehicle Loose Immortals within the Yuhua Sect is also large, they were all accumulated over countless tens of thousands of years; how could it be like the Xuanhuang Sect, where in just a few thousand years, Great Vehicle Loose Immortals appear like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron said in a deep voice.

"I remember when we first arrived in the Xuanhuang World, the power of the Xuanhuang Sect was indeed quite good."

It is estimated that even the former Yuhua Sect could not be compared with the Xuanhuang Sect at all.

"Earth Mother Cauldron, of course I know this point."

As long as the perception of the Heavenly Law reaches a certain level, then the cultivation base is actually a matter of course.

So they did not intend to trigger their Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation in advance like Zhou Sui, but rather passed the tribulation step by step like ordinary Great Vehicle Cultivators.

Anyway, their Longevity has now reached more than one hundred thousand years, and there are still long years left to cultivate.

Therefore, there is no rush for this at all.

Of course, the spread of such news naturally completely shocked the entire Xuanhuang World.

Known by countless Human Cultivators.

This also inspired the Cultivators of the entire Xuanhuang World, making them work even harder in their cultivation.

"I can only say that this Xuanhuang Daoist is indeed unfathomable."

"If it were just that he himself had the ability, that would be one thing, but this guy is actually able to raise the people around him to this extent; this is a bit extraordinary."

"That Xuanhuang Daoist must possess many Immortal Artifacts."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron said decisively.

It simply did not believe that the miracles appearing in the Xuanhuang World were created by the Xuanhuang Daoist alone.

That Xuanhuang Daoist must certainly possess many Immortal Artifacts behind the scenes.

Only by relying on the power of these Immortal Artifacts could such unbelievable things be achieved.

"Haha, does this even need guessing? This is already common knowledge."

"For example, the Dream World and the Book World that we use frequently now were created by the power of Immortal Artifacts."

"Not to mention the Dream World, which can simulate reality one hundred percent, making every Human who logs into the Dream World feel as if they are Inch by Inch World, allowing messages to be transmitted instantly, which has facilitated countless Cultivators."

"The Book World is even more unfathomable; it is rumored to be the Scripture Pavilion of the Xuanhuang Sect, containing infinite knowledge of the entire Mortal World, with over one hundred thousand True Immortal inheritances alone."

"One can even use the power of the Book World to deduce many cultivation techniques and many divine abilities and arts."

Gu Zhangsheng shook his head.

To tell the truth, he was once a Disciple of the Yuhua Sect, and the Yuhua Sect was said to be a super sect of the Immortal World, occupying vast territory, and the Yuhua Sect of the Earth Immortal World also inherited the other's orthodoxy.

It could be considered a subordinate organization.

For such an ancient sect, its foundation was also quite astonishing.

But he felt that compared to the Xuanhuang Sect, the Yuhua Sect was simply trash and could not be compared at all.

Don't look at the short development time of the Xuanhuang Sect; he felt that the Yuhua Sect couldn't even compare to their toenails.

It wouldn't take too long; he estimated that in another few tens of thousands of years, the Yuhua Sect of the Earth Immortal World wouldn't even be able to see the back of the Xuanhuang Sect; this was the development speed of the Xuanhuang Sect.

"Indeed, that Immortal Artifact, the Book World, is truly too extraordinary."

"It is not just as simple as being able to deduce cultivation techniques; it can even instill the techniques within it."

"It provides direct enlightenment to every Cultivator."

"As long as a Human Cultivator accepts the inheritance of a technique, they will instantly become a Beginner, as if they had practiced for many years."

"This ability alone has forged countless cultivation geniuses."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron felt that this ability of direct enlightenment was truly too astonishing; it was simply the strongest means to cultivate geniuses, saving Human Cultivators from countless hours of bitter practice.

This also allowed the level of Human Cultivators in the entire Xuanhuang World to be greatly improved.

Basically, every Human Cultivator had mastered extraordinary arts and knowledge.

Compared to the elite Disciples of the former Yuhua Sect of the Earth Immortal World, the Cultivators of the Xuanhuang Continent were far superior.

The two were simply not on the same level.

It was precisely because of this that the Xuanhuang World was in an unprecedented golden age of cultivation.

"That is why it is an Immortal Artifact."

"And that Xuanhuang Sect Master was actually willing to take this Immortal Artifact out and let every Human Cultivator use it."

"This breadth of mind alone is something other Cultivators cannot compare to."

Gu Zhangsheng said with great emotion.

To tell the truth, whichever faction leader obtained this Immortal Artifact, they would probably hide it away.

Even if other Cultivators wanted to use it, they would have to pay a huge price.

But the Xuanhuang Sect Master actually took it out voluntarily, letting every Human Cultivator use it.

Although one needs to pay Contribution Points and Spirit Stones each time it is used, compared to the benefits the Cultivators gain, these costs are nothing at all.

"Right, that is why I want you to join the Xuanhuang Sect."

"Although you have indeed obtained a True Immortal inheritance now."

"But this True Immortal inheritance can at most allow you to cultivate to the True Immortal Realm."

"If you want to cultivate to a higher realm, you still need to comprehend Immortal Techniques."

"These are the true cultivation methods of Immortals."

"You must know, I have no way to teach you any Immortal Techniques."

"Many Immortal Techniques can only be recorded by the Immortal Technique Dao Stele."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron said in a deep voice.

"Immortal Techniques? Isn't that too far away?"

"Currently, I am only a Refining Void Cultivator; if I want to truly learn Immortal Techniques, I must at least be in the Great Vehicle Realm."

Gu Zhangsheng was speechless and didn't know what to say.

Having been with the Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron for so long, he naturally knew what Immortal Techniques were.

It is said that this is a supreme art created by ancient Immortals, recording the mysteries of the Heavenly Law.

After ascending to the Immortal Realm, one no longer needs any cultivation techniques.

If one wants to improve their cultivation, one must practice Immortal Techniques.

The problem is, it is not such a simple matter to obtain Immortal Techniques.

Even the Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron itself does not have any Immortal Techniques.

In other words, the Immortal Artifact he possesses can at most help him reach the True Immortal Realm.

"Far away? This is not far away at all; it is just something that will happen in the blink of an eye."

"Those who do not plan for the whole situation are not enough to plan for a lifetime."

"In doing anything, one needs to take precautions."

"If your cultivation continues to improve, ascending to Integration, or even the Great Vehicle Realm."

"If you join the Xuanhuang Sect at that time, do you think the people of the Xuanhuang Sect will trust you? Will they treat you as one of their own? Only by joining at this current realm will you gain the trust of the Xuanhuang Sect."

"After all, as a Refining Void Cultivator, this realm is not too high, so the Xuanhuang Sect won't think you have ulterior motives, and it is not too low, so you won't be ignored after entering the Xuanhuang Sect."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron said in a deep voice.

It had been planning this for a long time, feeling that it was time for its Master to join the Xuanhuang Sect.

If it were any later, he would likely no longer be qualified to join the Xuanhuang Sect.

Even if he truly joined the Xuanhuang Sect, he would not gain the other party's trust.

This would not be a good thing for Gu Zhangsheng's future.

"So that's it, you want me to join the Xuanhuang Sect because you want me to learn the Immortal Techniques within the Xuanhuang Sect?"

Gu Zhangsheng instantly understood the meaning of the Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron.

Although the Heart Demon on him was indeed very serious, if he borrowed the power of the Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron, it could still be easily resolved; this was not too big of a problem.

One must know that previously, the Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron did not want him to join the Xuanhuang Sect, but after learning that the Xuanhuang Sect possessed Immortal Techniques, its attitude immediately underwent a 180-degree change.

Instead, it was impatient for him to join.

"That's right, you are a mortal Cultivator, so you don't know just how important Immortal Techniques are."

"If you were in the Immortal World, if you wanted to learn an Immortal Technique, even just for the qualification to learn it, you would need to pay a huge price, and perhaps even work like a beast for that faction."

"Every single Immortal Technique is the foundation of a sect."

"Moreover, it is absolutely forbidden to be leaked, and of course, it is impossible to leak."

"Without an Immortal Technique Dao Stele, it cannot be passed on either."

"Even if you have learned a certain Immortal Technique, it is impossible to pass it on to others."

"But the Xuanhuang Sect, to think it has actually recorded dozens of Immortal Techniques in the Book World, it is truly incredible."

"Even in the Immortal World, this would be enough to compare to some ordinary sects."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron said with great emotion.

To tell the truth, when it learned that there were dozens of Immortal Techniques in the Book World, it was completely stunned.

Originally, it was very unimpressed by mortal sects.

After all, they were merely mortal sects; no matter how powerful, they would not have any precious inherited knowledge.

It itself already possessed a True Immortal-level inheritance.

Naturally, there was no need to learn any cultivation methods from other sects.

But Immortal Techniques are different.

Every Immortal Technique is unique.

Basically, it is impossible for identical Immortal Techniques to exist; they are all the exclusive methods of major factions.

Moreover, Immortal Techniques are recorded on Dao Steles.

If there were no Dao Stele, it would also be unable to comprehend an Immortal Technique.

Therefore, Gu Zhangsheng lacked an inheritance above the True Immortal level.

Now that there were actually dozens of Immortal Techniques inside the Xuanhuang Sect, it was truly inconceivable.

If those factions in the Immortal World knew about this, they would all go crazy for it.

It could not even imagine what the Xuanhuang Sect had done to be able to obtain dozens of Immortal Techniques.

Of course, the reason why dozens of Immortal Techniques appeared in the Book World was naturally the result of Zhou Sui over these past thousand years.

Through the power of the Tenth-Grade Book Gu, he sensed many ownerless Dao Steles in the Spirit World.

These ownerless Dao Steles were naturally collected by Zhou Sui and given to the Book Gu to devour.

Therefore, the Book Gu's cultivation also received a rapid increase, at least reaching the Eleventh-Grade upper-tier realm.

It was actually not very far from the Eleventh-Grade realm.

That was why the power of the Book World had become increasingly formidable and unfathomable.

"Are Immortal Techniques really that precious?"

This was the first time Gu Zhangsheng had seen the Earth Mother Cauldron so excited.

"Of course, Immortal Techniques are a hundred times more precious than you imagine."

"These are things that should not appear in the mortal world at all."

"I don't know where this Xuanhuang Daoist obtained so many Immortal Techniques."

"If you have the opportunity to ascend to the Immortal World in the future and become an immortal, you will know just how precious Immortal Techniques are."

"If you were in the Immortal World and wanted to learn an Immortal Technique, the price you would have to pay is simply unimaginable."

"This is not something you can buy just by having money."

"But now there is an opportunity for you to learn many Immortal Techniques without paying a huge price."

"These are dozens of Immortal Techniques; even if you only learn a few, it is completely worth it."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron sighed with emotion.

To tell the truth, as an Immortal Artifact that had lived in the Immortal World for countless years, it knew the importance of Immortal Techniques best.

It is just like the core cultivation method of a certain sect.

Without possessing great fortune, it is impossible to have the chance to obtain one.

Every time an Immortal Technique Dao Stele appears at an auction, it causes countless immortals to go crazy.

That is why it felt that Gu Zhangsheng should not miss such an opportunity.

Otherwise, when he ascends to the Immortal World in the future, he will definitely regret why he did not cherish such an opportunity in the past.

"In that case, it seems that even the Yuhua Sect of the Earth Immortal World does not have an inheritance of Immortal Techniques."

At this moment, Gu Zhangsheng could not help but think of this point.

Although the Yuhua Sect did indeed store many Secret Techniques and cultivation methods, they could at most be considered mortal cultivation methods.

As for Immortal Techniques, there was not a single one.

"That is a matter of course."

"The Immortal Technique Dao Stele is so precious that it is naturally impossible for it to remain in the Mortal World."

"Whenever an Immortal Technique Dao Stele appears, those Cultivators from the Yuhua Sect will immediately bring it back to the Immortal World."

"It is fundamentally impossible for it to remain in the Mortal World."

"Therefore, it is perfectly normal for the Yuhua Sect of the Earth Immortal World to have no Immortal Techniques."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron said in a deep voice.

To be honest, it was precisely because of this that it looked down upon the Yuhua Sect of the Earth Immortal World.

A sect that did not even possess Immortal Techniques was simply nothing to write home about.

It was completely unworthy of mention.

After all, as for the mere inheritance of a True Immortal, it had already mastered quite a lot and did not need to go to the Yuhua Sect to obtain it.

To it, cultivation before becoming a True Immortal was merely a process of laying a foundation.

If one were to cultivate in the Immortal World, almost everyone could become a True Immortal.

It was just that if one remained in the Mortal World, cultivation was naturally extremely difficult, and those who could attain the Dao and become immortals were simply few and far between.

"Is it for the sake of the future?"

Gu Zhangsheng could not help but nod; he also knew the good intentions of the Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron.

Since Immortal Techniques were such an important inheritance, if he could obtain a few sets from the Xuanhuang Sect, the benefits for his future development would be self-evident.

Now that he had become a Refining Void Cultivator, his ambition was also gradually growing.

He did not just want to become an Integration Stage cultivator or a Great Vehicle Cultivator; he also wanted to become a True Immortal.

He even wanted to become an existence more powerful than a True Immortal.

His current realm was just the beginning, and it was simply not worth mentioning.

"Perhaps you are also worried that after joining the Xuanhuang Sect, the people inside might discover my existence and thus repeat the scene from the Yuhua Sect before; I think there is no need to worry about this point."

"As far as I know, there are some geniuses within the Xuanhuang Sect who possess Immortal Artifacts, but Xuanhuang Daoist has not made a move to snatch them. I reckon that in the eyes of Xuanhuang Daoist, ordinary Immortal Artifacts do not count for much."

"One cannot prove that Xuanhuang Daoist has high moral character based on this alone, but it is enough to prove the wealth of Xuanhuang Daoist. To him, he probably disdains snatching the Immortal Artifacts of his disciples."

"After all, since he can even produce dozens of Immortal Techniques, mere Immortal Artifacts naturally do not count for much."

"What's more, my strength has recovered quite a bit now, so even if a True Immortal appears, they will not be able to detect my existence."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron said with full confidence.

It knew very well that Gu Zhangsheng's worry about joining the Xuanhuang Sect was precisely a worry that the Immortal Artifact on his person would be discovered by the Xuanhuang Sect.

If an Elder of the Xuanhuang Sect were to harbor any malicious intent, then he would truly have nowhere to escape this time.

Therefore, rather than seeking these benefits, it would be better to cultivate safely and steadily.

But if one could reach the supreme heights by cultivating safely and steadily on the path of cultivation, there would not be so many people taking risks.

On the path of cultivation, one must fight—fight with the heavens, fight with people—only then can one strive for all kinds of opportunities.

Being free from worldly strife is naturally good, but one will inevitably miss the opportunity to attain the Dao.

"In that case, it is indeed much safer."

Gu Zhangsheng could not help but agree with this point.

After all, the Earth Mother Cauldron was indeed much stronger than before, and if he were careful and did not expose the existence of the Earth Mother Cauldron, then he could also cultivate in the Xuanhuang Sect very safely.

The scales in his heart were also constantly tipping toward the Xuanhuang Sect.

"Of course, besides being able to obtain Immortal Techniques by joining the Xuanhuang Sect,"

"The most important thing is actually being able to obtain all kinds of cultivation resources."

"After you advance to the Refining Void Realm, cultivation will surely become increasingly difficult."

"The speed of cultivation will also become increasingly slow."

"And these high-level resources are controlled by the Xuanhuang Sect; other forces simply do not have them, and even if you have money, you cannot buy them."

"Besides cultivation resources, as far as I know, the Xuanhuang Sect also controls a Cross-Boundary Teleportation Array."

"Through the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Array, one can travel to other Great Thousand Worlds."

"However, only disciples of the Xuanhuang Sect can use the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Array; others cannot use it."

"If you want to return to the Earth Immortal World in the future, you will definitely need to ask the Xuanhuang Sect for help."

"As an outsider, the price you would have to pay to use the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Array would likely be staggering."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron said straightforwardly.

It knew Gu Zhangsheng's weaknesses very well, so every sentence pointed directly to Gu Zhangsheng's fatal flaw.

"Since that's the case, then I will join the Xuanhuang Sect."

"Anyway, without joining the Xuanhuang Sect, staying in the Xuanhuang World is also difficult to move even an inch."

Gu Zhangsheng nodded and immediately made his final decision.

Although he also wanted to develop the Earth Mother Sect to the level of a Great Vehicle sect, it was clear that as a world ruled by the Xuanhuang Sect, it was impossible to allow a second force to appear that would challenge the Xuanhuang Sect.

If he really continued to strengthen the sect like this, he might be suppressed by the Xuanhuang Sect.

By then, he would not even know what kind of blow he would suffer within the Xuanhuang World.

He also had no need to make the whole world his enemy.

More importantly, the last sentence of the Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron had indeed shaken his heart.

No matter what, if he wanted to return to the Earth Immortal World, he could never escape the need for the Xuanhuang Sect's help.

Not long after, Gu Zhangsheng submitted his application to join the Xuanhuang Sect.

If it were an ordinary Cultivator, the Xuanhuang Sect would not pay any attention at all.

However, it was a completely different matter for a dignified Refining Void Cultivator to join in person.

Although the Xuanhuang Sect had been established for thousands of years, there were still very few people who could truly become Refining Void Cultivators.

Every Refining Void Cultivator is basically a pillar of the Xuanhuang Sect.

All of them are highly valued by the Xuanhuang Sect.

Even though Gu Zhangsheng is the Sect Master of the Earth Mother Sect, he is, after all, a Cultivator born and raised in the Xuanhuang World, so to some extent, he can also be considered one of the Xuanhuang Sect's own.

Therefore, his application was easily approved within the Xuanhuang Sect.

Gu Zhangsheng also joined the Xuanhuang Sect without any danger, becoming a Refining Void Elder of the Xuanhuang Sect.

Boom~~~

Suddenly, Gu Zhangsheng passed through the Ancient Teleportation Array and teleported from the continent where the Earth Mother Sect was located to the Xuanhuang Continent.

In the past, in order to stay away from the Xuanhuang Continent, he chose to go to other continents to pioneer, and built the Earth Mother Sect on another continent, which could be considered a glorious achievement.

It can be said that he had not returned to the Xuanhuang Continent for a very long time.

"What is going on? Why is the Xuanhuang Continent permeated with such dense Immortal Qi?"

The moment he returned to the Xuanhuang Continent, the Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron could not help but exclaim; it took a deep breath of the surrounding air and immediately felt as if it had returned to the Immortal World, feeling incomparably comfortable.

Even the injuries on its body seemed to have healed quite a bit.

"I am afraid it has a great deal to do with this plant, the Evergreen Immortal Vine."

"According to those Cultivators in the Dream World, the Evergreen Immortal Vine seems to be able to communicate with the Immortal World and steal the Origin Qi of the Immortal World."

"That is why dense Immortal Qi permeates the vicinity of the Evergreen Immortal Vine, like a small Immortal Domain."

"And it is because of this that Cultivators staying at the Xuanhuang Sect headquarters are like cultivating in the Immortal World."

"Every Xuanhuang Sect Disciple is progressing rapidly."

Gu Zhangsheng said with great emotion.

Previously, he was always skeptical about the rumors on the Dream World, feeling that they were simply too exaggerated.

But now that he saw it, it was not exaggerated at all; it was simply describing the facts.

No, the facts seemed even more incredible than the rumors.

He felt that if he were to stay here to cultivate, his cultivation efficiency could at least increase several times over.

This is indeed an unadulterated sacred land for cultivation.

"But even if it forms a small Immortal Domain, it is still too exaggerated."

"The area covered by the Immortal Qi covers at least a small half of the Xuanhuang Continent."

"Could the Evergreen Immortal Vine have grown to this extent?"

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron was dumbfounded, simply finding it hard to believe.

Because the Evergreen Immortal Vine is notoriously slow-growing, often requiring a growth cycle of billions, or even tens of billions of years.

And due to countless calamities, the Evergreen Immortal Vine basically never grows for that long.

Basically, it dies from various calamities before living even half that time.

This is also the first time it has seen an Evergreen Immortal Vine grown to this extent; it is simply beyond imagination.

It felt that the Evergreen Immortal Vine before its eyes was a living being ancient to the extreme.

Like an ancient god.

"It is said that the Evergreen Immortal Vine has indeed grown rapidly during this period, and the amount of Immortal Qi it can steal is increasing."

"Those Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators introduced that the Immortal Qi within the sect has increased threefold over the past thousand years."

"However, why hasn't the Immortal Qi dissipated? Instead, it has become even denser."

Gu Zhangsheng felt very curious about this point.

He sensed that there seemed to be an invisible barrier around, gathering all the Immortal Qi.

Thereby preventing the Immortal Qi from escaping, keeping it trapped within this area of the Xuanhuang Sect.

"A True Immortal Array, a True Immortal Array has been set up here."

"This is the Heavenly Wood Sumeru Immortal Array."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron looked at the scene before it in disbelief, its heart stirred with stormy waves.

If this were the Immortal World, the appearance of an Immortal-Tier Array would be nothing.

The problem is, this is the Mortal World; how could an Immortal-Tier grand array appear here?

Even if it is only a True Immortal-Tier array, it is still an invincible array.

Sufficient to annihilate any Great Vehicle Cultivator.

Even if a True Immortal descended to the mortal world, facing this grand array, it would be a dead end.

It can be said that this array alone is enough to protect the Xuanhuang Sect for countless years.

"What is the Heavenly Wood Sumeru Grand Array?"

Gu Zhangsheng asked curiously; he instinctively realized that this array was not simple.

"The so-called Heavenly Wood Sumeru Grand Array is an Immortal-Tier grand array that incorporates Wood Law and Space Law."

"It is at least at the True Immortal level, and may even evolve into the Earth Immortal level or even the Heavenly Immortal level in the future."

"This grand array takes the Evergreen Immortal Vine as its core, covering a territory of hundreds of millions of miles, thereby forming an array barrier."

"Once an enemy steps into the grand array, they will be attacked by the Qi of Heavenly Wood, and may even be wood-ified, thus becoming a plant."

"What is even more terrifying is that this grand array is basically impossible to destroy; it is an indestructible array."

"As long as the core is not destroyed, it can exist eternally."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron took a deep breath.

Although it did not want to admit this point, it had to admit it.

The current Xuanhuang Sect is simply unfathomable and has completely come into its own.

This Immortal-Tier grand array alone is enough to keep the Xuanhuang Sect from being destroyed for hundreds of millions of years.

Even if an immortal were to descend to the mortal world, it would be impossible to destroy the Xuanhuang Sect.

"But aren't Immortal Grade Arrays things that can only exist in the Immortal World?"

"Not to mention where the materials for an Immortal Grade Array could even be obtained."

"The Immortal Vein required just to maintain the operation of the array is something the mortal world cannot possess, right?"

Gu Zhangsheng was also incredulous.

He had learned of the various profound mysteries of Immortal Grade Arrays from the Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron; they were simply infinitely subtle and unfathomable.

They were fundamentally incomparable to arrays of the mortal world.

The problem was that wanting to set up an Immortal Grade Array in the mortal world was an almost impossible task.

Even in the Earth Immortal World, where many Reincarnated Immortals had descended, they could not achieve this.

Because to operate an Immortal Grade Array for a long time, even a True Immortal Array requires a First-tier Immortal Vein.

The problem is, where could an Immortal Vein possibly exist in the mortal world?

Of course, given the long heritage of the Earth Immortal World, Immortal Grade Arrays do still exist there.

However, such Immortal Grade Arrays do not operate under normal circumstances; they only run at critical moments.

Moreover, the energy to activate an Immortal Grade Array comes from Immortal Crystals, or even Immortal Stones.

Each time it runs, it is enough to bankrupt a sect.

Therefore, unless it is a last resort, no sect is willing to activate their own Immortal Grade Array.

But if it is activated at a critical moment, it can achieve the effect of turning the tide in one stroke.

To a certain extent, this can also be considered the ultimate trump card of many ancient sects.

It is precisely because of this that in the Earth Immortal World, no one will force those ancient sects to the point of life-and-death survival.

If the other party truly fights with their life, they will take you down with them.

"That's right, normally it is indeed impossible to set up an Immortal Grade Array in the mortal world."

"But the appearance of the Evergreen Immortal Vine has completely changed this."

"Because it can steal Source Energy from the Immortal World and steal vast amounts of Immortal Qi."

"Now, every single vine on the Evergreen Immortal Vine is equivalent to an Immortal Grade Spirit Pulse."

"It can provide a steady, massive stream of Immortal Qi."

"I estimate the Xuanhuang Sect Master saw this point, and thus used the Evergreen Immortal Vine as the core, serving as the source of the Immortal Grade Array, to act as the energy source for this Heavenly Eye Mount Sumeru Array."

"That is why they were able to build this First-tier Array."

"When the array appeared, it immediately formed an array barrier, shrouding all directions and binding all the Immortal Qi."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron said in a deep voice, stating its speculation.

It could perceive that the Void for hundreds of millions of miles around the Xuanhuang Sect was already covered in dense Fazhe Wenlu and array patterns, like an eggshell, shrouding all directions and forming a spherical Void barrier.

The moment they entered the territory of the Xuanhuang Sect, they were already within the range of this array.

"But an Eighth-Order Array can condense into a Secret Realm World; why hasn't the True Immortal Array, which surpasses an Eighth-Order Array, formed a Secret Realm World? It seems this place is not isolated from other places."

Gu Zhangsheng was very curious.

He felt that the Xuanhuang Sect did not seem to have formed a closed Secret Realm World.

It was still located in this Void and had not become independent.

"Foolish, how profound is the application of arrays."

"An Eighth-Order Array can indeed form a Secret Realm World, turning into a World Barrier and becoming a world unto itself."

"Then a Ninth Grade Array, which is a True Immortal Array, can naturally do this easily as well."

"But the mystery of arrays lies right here: it can form a Secret Realm World, or it can choose not to."

"Everything depends on the design of the Array Master."

"If a Secret Realm World is formed, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is naturally that it is very safe, and it is not easy for enemies to attack; but the disadvantage is that the range covered by the array becomes completely fixed and cannot be changed."

"But if it is turned into an open Domain, the array can be changed at will, or even continuously evolved; of course, the safety is not comparable to a Secret Realm World."

"However, for now, who would dare to attack the Xuanhuang Sect?"

"So that Xuanhuang Daoist did not intend to build this area of the Xuanhuang Sect into a Secret Realm World, but instead built an open region, allowing others to enter and exit."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron felt it had already grasped the intentions of that Xuanhuang Daoist.

Clearly, that fellow was far-sighted and unfathomable.

Once the array is formed, it can bind all the Immortal Qi and become a Domain unto itself, making this place a holy land for cultivation.

Over time, it will turn into an Immortal Domain.

I estimate that even the Earth Immortal World cannot find such a holy land for cultivation.

Without a doubt, the Xuanhuang Continent will surely become the true holy land of the Xuanhuang World.

"I understand your thinking, but even so, can a True Immortal Array really be set up so casually? Isn't it said that the Xuanhuang Daoist is a Great Vehicle Cultivator? Can a Great Vehicle Cultivator already set up a True Immortal Array?"

Gu Zhangsheng instinctively realized that something was not quite right.

He felt that perhaps the world had underestimated the cultivation of the Xuanhuang Daoist.

"That's right, it seems you have also noticed the trickiness in this."

"If I am not mistaken, that Xuanhuang Daoist may have long since passed the Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation and achieved the status of a True Immortal."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron said faintly.

What?!

Once these words were spoken, Gu Zhangsheng widened his eyes, his heart surging with stormy waves: "Is it true or false? He became a True Immortal? But if he really ascended to True Immortal, wouldn't he have ascended to the Immortal World long ago?"

He felt that such a thing was almost impossible to happen.

"Who told you that passing the Heavenly Tribulation means one must ascend to the Immortal World?"

"You must know that this world contains many secret techniques, among which are methods of sealing."

"If one seals their own cultivation at the very moment of undergoing the Tribulation, they can transform their aura into that of a mortal."

"In this way, it is possible to deceive the Heavenly Dao and thereby remain in the Mortal World."

"In fact, as far as I know, there have indeed been some Cultivators who have done this."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron said in a deep voice.

It had also heard similar rumors in the Immortal World, but this was the first time it had ever seen such a figure.

I fear that Xuanhuang Daoist is exactly one who did this.

Clearly already a True Immortal, yet he forcibly remained in the Mortal World.

"No way, if that is the case, wouldn't the Xuanhuang Sect Master be a True Immortal in the mortal realm?"

"But why would he do this? Why not ascend directly to the Immortal World?"

"For him, is there still anything in the Mortal World worth lingering over?"

Gu Zhangsheng found it hard to believe.

He had originally thought that after passing the Tribulation, one would ascend directly to the Immortal World.

Who could have imagined that Xuanhuang Daoist would actually seal his own cultivation and stay in the Mortal World.

You have to realize, this is a True Immortal in the mortal realm, a truly peerless and invincible existence.

"Heh, ascend to the Immortal World? Why ascend to the Immortal World so quickly?"

"Didn't I tell you before? The most important thing in an immortal's cultivation is the comprehension of laws."

"You must know that in the Immortal World, the laws are extremely rigid, and the difficulty of comprehending them is dozens of times greater than in the Mortal World."

"If one remains in the Mortal World, comprehending laws is actually much easier."

"I suspect that Xuanhuang Daoist knew this, which is why he wanted to stay in the Mortal World for a longer time."

"In this way, when he eventually ascends to the Immortal World, he might be an Earth Immortal, or even a Heavenly Immortal."

"Undoubtedly, this Xuanhuang Daoist is deep in thought and far-sighted."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron admired Xuanhuang Daoist to the point of prostration.

Although it did not know what inheritance Xuanhuang Daoist had obtained to be so familiar with the cultivation methods of immortals and to know so much intelligence about the Immortal World, it felt that Xuanhuang Daoist's future prospects must be immense.

No wonder he was able to create such a massive foundation as the Xuanhuang Sect.

If he does not die, this Xuanhuang Daoist will surely be an extraordinary big shot in the Immortal World in the future.

"If that is the case, then can we also do this in the future?"

Gu Zhangsheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

He felt that perhaps he could also emulate the approach of Xuanhuang Daoist.

After all, the Immortal World is so dangerous and filled with countless immortals; even if one truly ascends, they would only be a bottom-tier figure.

It would be better to stay in the mortal realm to cultivate until reaching Earth Immortal or even Heavenly Immortal before ascending.

In this way, one would not be looked down upon by the immortals of the Immortal World.

At that time, upon ascending to the Immortal World, one could likely become a big shot in the Immortal World.

At the very least, one would not be bullied by the immortals of the Immortal World.

"That is not impossible."

"But that is a matter for after the Great Vehicle."

"Wait until you have advanced to the Great Vehicle Realm before talking about it; right now, you are merely a tiny Refining Void Cultivator."

The Immortal Artifact Earth Mother Cauldron said with great disdain.
