Chapter 577: Dao Companion Ascends to True Immortal, the Growth of the Jianmu, Enveloping One Hundred Thousand

"Heh, what are a few million years? It is nothing more than the snap of a finger."

Ziyu Daoren waved his hand; he did not consider this a problem at all.

For a Great Luo Golden Immortal, perhaps a single session of closed-door cultivation could span hundreds of millions of years.

A mere few million years is just the time it takes to take a nap; it counts for nothing.

The concept of time for a Great Luo Golden Immortal is already completely different from that of an ordinary immortal.

"However, this Xuanhuang Sect is quite unusual."

"Normally, it is impossible for a Mortal World sect to develop so rapidly and become so powerful."

"Yet it has developed to this scale in such a short time."

"What exactly is the background of this Xuanhuang Sect Master?"

Ziyu Daoren narrowed his eyes; he had noticed the unusual nature of this Xuanhuang Sect.

After all, wanting to perform cross-boundary teleportation is not such a simple matter.

For an ordinary force, just collecting the materials to build a Cross-Boundary Teleportation Array would take an unknown number of tens of thousands of years.

Not to mention that every time a Cross-Boundary Teleportation Array is activated, it consumes a massive amount of Spirit Stones.

This is not something a Mortal World sect could afford.

He felt that this Xuanhuang Sect exuded a trace of eeriness; it did not look like a Mortal World sect at all.

"Ziyu Daoren, as far as I know, the one who created the Xuanhuang Sect is a Mortal World Cultivator named Xuanhuang Daoist."

"It is said that this Xuanhuang Daoist has had countless miraculous encounters in his life and once obtained an immortal's inheritance."

"But as for what specific miraculous encounters were obtained, no one knows."

"In short, this Xuanhuang Daoist is very mysterious."

"And for now, the other party does not seem to have any intention of ascending to the Immortal World, remaining in the Mortal World instead."

"Perhaps this Xuanhuang Daoist has long since become a True Immortal and has sealed his own cultivation."

This Heavenly Court immortal spoke of the many pieces of intelligence he had gathered.

He also felt that this Xuanhuang Daoist was unfathomable, with endless means.

Unfortunately, the Immortal World is still too far from the Mortal World.

Wanting to obtain clearer intelligence is not something that can be helped in a short time.

Moreover, the Xuanhuang Sect seems to have many methods and a very strong ability to keep secrets.

Apart from the few pieces of intelligence released, almost no one knows the many details inside the other party.

"Once obtained an immortal's inheritance? Which immortal's inheritance was it exactly?"

"Ordinary immortals do not have such great ability."

"I think this Xuanhuang Daoist is not simple at all; perhaps he is simply the reincarnation of some old antique."

Ziyu Daoren's eyes flickered.

He felt that the Xuanhuang Daoist was extraordinary; many of his methods were simply not things an ordinary immortal could produce.

Furthermore, a disaster once occurred in the Immortal World, leading to the fall of many immortals.

It is not impossible for some old antiques of the Immortal World to be reincarnated into the Mortal World and return through rebirth.

"Does your Excellency mean that this Xuanhuang Daoist might be the reincarnation of some Great Luo Golden Immortal?"

Hearing this, that Heavenly Court immortal was immediately startled.

If that were truly the case, then this matter would be very thorny.

Because if handled even slightly improperly, it would be equivalent to offending a Great Luo.

"It is not impossible for such a possibility to exist."

"But with the Xuanhuang Sect making such a big scene, do other races have no objections?"

Ziyu Daoren raised his eyebrows and continued to ask.

"Of course they have objections."

"Because the Xuanhuang Sect occupies far too many worlds, it has encroached upon the interests of other races."

"Now the Demon Race, the True Spirit Alliance, as well as the Prison Race and the Demon Race, etc., are all very angry and strongly demand that we restrict the development of the Xuanhuang Sect, otherwise they will strike at the Xuanhuang Sect with all their might."

"Moreover, the four great super races have also jointly pressured us, feeling that we, the Human Race of the Immortal World, need to be held responsible."

That Heavenly Court immortal said in a deep voice.

Undoubtedly, after the other four great super races learned of this matter, they were very angry, feeling that the Xuanhuang Sect was deliberately cultivated by the Human Race of the Immortal World for the purpose of encroaching upon the interests of other races in the Mortal World.

For other races, the Mortal World is also of vital importance.

It cannot be occupied by the Human Race alone, allowing them to reign supreme.

The power of the four great super races combined is simply unimaginable.

"Heh, wanting to pressure us? That is simply wishful thinking."

"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext."

"Tell them that the Xuanhuang Sect has no relationship with our Heavenly Court."

"If they want to suppress the Xuanhuang Sect, then let them suppress it."

"I would like to see exactly which old antique that Xuanhuang Daoist is the reincarnation of."

Ziyu Daoren's eyes flickered.

He felt that this matter suited his intentions perfectly; after all, the Xuanhuang Sect indeed has no relationship with the Heavenly Court.

Perhaps he could borrow the power of other races to deal with the Xuanhuang Sect.

In this way, he would be able to see the true roots of the Xuanhuang Daoist and know what the other party's background really is.

It could be said that this counts as a strategy that achieves multiple goals at once.

"Yes, Lord Ziyu."

Hearing this, the many Heavenly Court immortals all nodded.

To them, this was merely the Mortal World.

Even if the entire Mortal World were smashed to pieces, it could not affect the Immortal World.

Therefore, they did not care what might happen to the Mortal World afterward.

…………

On the other hand, the Demon Race, the Prison Race, the True Spirit Alliance, the Devil Race, and other factions gathered together.

One Great Luo Golden Immortal after another appeared in a certain place.

In a situation where the Immortal Kings were in seclusion and not emerging, the Great Luo Golden Immortals were basically the high-level leadership of each race.

They basically held immense authority.

Every word and action was enough to determine the policies and future of an entire race.

"Heh, the Human Heavenly Court is truly too arrogant; they really think they are invincible."

"Recently, a Xuanhuang Sect has appeared among the humans of the Mortal World and has begun to conquer cities and seize territory everywhere."

"They even boast of being the center of the ten thousand worlds and want to replace the status of the Earth Immortal World; it is simply preposterous."

"Even the living space of my Devil Race has been compressed quite a bit."

The Devil Race Great Luo Golden Immortal was furious.

Although the power of the Devil Race in the Mortal World did not count for much, they were, at any rate, members of its own race.

Seeing Devil Race Cultivators being bullied by humans, it was simply seething with rage.

"I previously informed the Human Heavenly Court about this matter."

"But I received a reply stating that the Xuanhuang Sect has no relationship with the Human Heavenly Court."

"The Heavenly Court also cannot restrict anything the Xuanhuang Sect does."

"They told us that if we have the ability, we should go deal with the Xuanhuang Sect ourselves."

"It seems we have indeed been underestimated by the humans, who think that the four great races combined cannot resolve that tiny Xuanhuang Sect. What do you all think of this matter, and how should it be resolved?"

The Prison Race Great Luo Golden Immortal said with a smile that did not reach its eyes, looking at the many Cultivators.

Although it was all smiles, those who knew it well knew that it was already on the verge of a violent rage; it was purely a smiling tiger, with infinite killing intent brewing within its body.

This was just like a volcano about to erupt.

Once it erupted, it would surely be a power capable of destroying heaven and extinguishing the earth, of a kind that was simply unimaginable.

"This Mortal World Xuanhuang Sect is indeed not simple."

"To be able to stir up trouble in the Mortal World for such a long time, it certainly has some skills."

"Otherwise, it would not have been able to occupy so many worlds in such a short time."

"If we want to deal with the Xuanhuang Sect, I fear we will need to dispatch True Immortals, or even Earth Immortals, to descend to the mortal realm."

"At the same time, we will also need to carry many True Immortal Talismans and Earth Immortal Talismans."

"The cost involved is not a small amount."

The Demon Race Great Luo Golden Immortal spoke, glancing at the many Cultivators.

To tell the truth, if the cost outweighed the gains, then this was purely a losing business.

Even just transmitting some kind of item from the Immortal World requires enormous resources.

Not to mention transmitting so many True Immortals to the mortal realm.

It is impossible to imagine just how many resources would be consumed.

If the consumption is too great, then it is completely not worth the loss.

"I do not think consuming too many resources is a problem at all."

"With the four great super races combined, could it be that we cannot afford this bit of resources?"

"The most important thing is that we cannot let the humans be the sole power in the Mortal World."

"The Mortal World has great strategic significance to us; we cannot let the humans reign supreme."

A Great Luo Golden Immortal of the True Spirit Alliance said in a deep voice.

It felt that even if a huge price had to be paid, the human Xuanhuang Sect must be resolved.

Otherwise, if the humans truly unified the Mortal World, it would not be a good thing for any of their races.

After all, to a certain extent, the mortal realm is the back garden of the immortals, a path of retreat.

No one wants their path of retreat to be blocked.

"Since that is the case, then we have reached an agreement."

"If we don't act, so be it; but once we act, it must be foolproof."

"This time, we must completely eliminate the Mortal World's Xuanhuang Sect and destroy the Xuanhuang World."

"We must tell the world, and tell the humans, that no faction is allowed to lay a finger on the Mortal World."

The Devil Race Great Luo Golden Immortal said with murderous intent.

It felt that with the four great super races joining forces, this plan could be called foolproof.

No matter how powerful that Xuanhuang Sect is among the humans, it cannot be their match.

It will not take long before this so-called Xuanhuang Sect completely disappears from the Mortal World.

…………

At this very moment, in the Xuanhuang World, at the Xuanhuang Sect, near the Divine Tree Jianmu.

This place had long since become the Immortal Medicine Garden of the Xuanhuang Sect, where a large number of Immortal Medicines and Immortal Trees were planted.

After all, staying near Jianmu allows one to enjoy the power brought by Jianmu, as well as the vast Immortal Qi of the Immortal World.

At the same time, the surrounding soil also came from the Immortal World, making it extremely suitable for the survival of Immortal Medicine and Immortal Trees.

The surrounding environment had also been constructed into various Medicine Gardens and orchards.

For example, the Bodhi Tree, Five-Needle Pine, Ginseng Fruit Tree, and Flat Peach Tree, among others, were all planted here.

After two hundred thousand years of cultivation, these Immortal Trees had also begun to grow vigorously, filled with endless vitality.

At this moment, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, Xia Jingyan, Leng Yuexi, Lin Yazhu, and others also appeared here; they were all responsible for tending to the Medicine Gardens and orchards here.

After all, for them, staying here for a long time was of immense benefit to their own cultivation.

Moreover, after two hundred thousand years of cultivation, their cultivation levels had also advanced further, and they had all successively ascended to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

It could be described as rapid progress.

"I never imagined that after two hundred thousand years of cultivation, we would actually cultivate such a massive Flat Peach orchard."

"Giving birth to a large quantity of Flat Peach Immortal Fruit."

"Perhaps we could all hold a Flat Peach Banquet once a year."

Mu Ziyan smiled slightly as she looked at the dense growth of Flat Peach Immortal Trees within the Flat Peach orchard; every Immortal Tree was hung with mature Flat Peach Immortal Fruit, containing vast life energy.

Consuming just one, one could not even calculate how many years of bitter cultivation it would save an immortal.

In fact, the reason they could become Heavenly Immortals so quickly, apart from the assistance of their husband, was most importantly due to these Immortal Fruit.

If they hadn't consumed a large amount of Immortal Fruit, how could they have become Heavenly Immortals so quickly?

An ordinary immortal cultivating for two hundred thousand years would likely only be spinning their wheels in the True Immortal Realm.

As for wanting to become an Earth Immortal, that would be a matter of who knows when.

Therefore, she naturally knew exactly how great a benefit this massive Flat Peach orchard was.

If the immortals of the Immortal World knew of the existence of such a Flat Peach orchard in the Xuanhuang World, they would likely swarm over and snatch it crazily.

Fortunately, this is the Mortal World, and the immortals of the Immortal World have no way of knowing the secrets here.

They could also enjoy the fruits of their labor with peace of mind.

"It is still too high-profile."

"With so many Flat Peach Immortal Fruit, I fear that even the Heavenly Court of the Immortal World would go mad."

"Our Xuanhuang Sect's strength is still a bit weak right now, unable to compare to those ancient powers of the Immortal World."

"Unless we can dominate the Human Race of the Immortal World and rule the Heavenly Court, otherwise, we simply cannot hold a Flat Peach Banquet."

Ji Bingyu's beautiful eyes flickered.

Although the strength of the Xuanhuang Sect could be considered quite good, already sufficient to dominate the Mortal World, and even the Xuanhuang World had now become the center of ten thousand worlds, connecting countless worlds.

But to those ancient powers of the Immortal World, it still amounted to nothing at all.

After all, her husband was currently only a Golden Immortal.

Yet those ancient powers possessed a large number of Great Luo Golden Immortals, and there even existed Immortal Kings.

Without a doubt, now is not the time for the Xuanhuang Sect to be high-profile.

Of course, to act as kings and hegemons in the Mortal World, that was completely sufficient.

"No need to worry, I feel that this is merely a matter of time."

"Now our Xuanhuang Sect is already the hegemon of the mortal realm."

"Even within the Immortal World, our husband has also secretly gained control over the Chuzhou Dadi."

"Thereby giving our Xuanhuang Sect a stable base of operations."

"If we continue like this, we will definitely have a place in the Immortal World that no one dares to provoke."

Leng Yuexi smiled slightly.

She felt that the day the Xuanhuang Sect begins to dominate the Immortal World would not be too far off.

It was merely a matter of time.

The development of the Xuanhuang Sect now is like a snowball, presenting a geometric growth.

The speed of development is simply beyond imagination.

It is something those old antiques of the Immortal World could never imagine.

"I received some news earlier."

"Many worlds of the mortal realm, especially the ancient powers of the Earth Immortal World, seem to be very dissatisfied with our Xuanhuang Sect."

"Although they cannot do anything to our Xuanhuang Sect, they have already reported the existence of our Xuanhuang Sect to the Immortal World."

"In other words, we may soon face pressure from the Immortal World."

"At that time, perhaps a great many True Immortals from the Immortal World will appear."

Qian Ziyun's beautiful eyes revealed a trace of Cold Glow.

Without a doubt, if such a situation truly occurred, it would definitely be a huge test for the Xuanhuang Sect.

If they could not withstand it, perhaps years of accumulation would be destroyed in an instant.

The pressure from the Immortal World is no small matter.

"What is there to fear?"

"With the restrictions of the mortal laws, those powers of the Immortal World can at most dispatch some True Immortals and Earth Immortals to descend to the mortal realm."

"Moreover, the resources required to dispatch a large number of True Immortals to the mortal realm are not a small amount."

"Even the super races of the Immortal World might not be able to bear it."

"In other words, as long as we can annihilate this batch of True Immortals from the Immortal World, then the ancient powers of the Immortal World will no longer have any strength to dare covet the Mortal World."

"Right now we are just small and transparent in the Immortal World, but in the Mortal World, who dares to clamor against us?"

Chu Dieyi said proudly.

She knew exactly how terrifying the foundation of the Xuanhuang Sect was now.

After two hundred thousand years of development, countless Great Vehicle Loose Immortals have been born.

Of course, most of the Great Vehicle Loose Immortals have used the power of the Divine Tree Jianmu to smuggle themselves into the Immortal World.

Yet even so, the numerous Great Vehicle Puppets controlled by the Xuanhuang Sect remain countless.

An army of the undead can be summoned at any moment.

Even if the True Immortals of the Immortal World were to pour out in full force, it would be impossible for them to do anything to the current Xuanhuang Sect.

The world still thinks the current foundation of the Xuanhuang Sect is terrifying, but what has been displayed is merely one percent of it.

If worse comes to worst, if her husband takes action personally, it would be enough to wipe out all the True Immortals of the Immortal World.

It can be said that the current Xuanhuang Sect has long stood in an invincible position.

"That is indeed the case."

"No matter what the forces of the Immortal World want to do to our Mortal World, they can no longer shake the foundations of our mortal realm."

"On the contrary, our main target now is the Immortal World."

"Only the Immortal World is the future stage for our Xuanhuang Sect."

"Especially since, due to the growth of the Divine Tree Jianmu, the Jianmu is now able to cover one hundred thousand Human Race great provinces."

"Basically, it has expanded the range of our Xuanhuang Sect's movement by more than a hundredfold."

Qiu Ruyu smiled slightly.

To tell the truth, compared to the development of the Mortal World, the Xuanhuang Sect's development in the Immortal World can be considered incomparably rapid.

Because the Divine Tree Jianmu is constantly consuming mysterious medicinal liquids, it has caused the Jianmu to grow sturdily.

From the outside, the Jianmu staying in the Xuanhuang World seems to have no changes.

But in fact, its roots have long been deeply embedded in the depths of the Immortal World's earth, gestating a large number of Jianmu roots.

These Jianmu roots cover one hundred thousand Human Race great provinces, and the Jianmu Domain formed also covers one hundred thousand Human Race great provinces; the scope covered within is simply beyond imagination.

That is to say, if the Great Vehicle Cultivators of the Xuanhuang Sect want to smuggle themselves into the Immortal World now, there are many more places they can choose from.

After a large number of Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators smuggled themselves into the Immortal World, they began to enter all walks of life, and even became elites cultivated by major forces, joining these places like spies.

These Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators are like seeds, beginning to take root and sprout within the Immortal World.

Do not look at how their cultivation is low and their numbers are few now, temporarily unable to cause any kind of impact on the Immortal World.

But as time passes, their cultivation and status will also become higher and higher.

When the time comes, a single call could shake the entire Human Race of the Immortal World.

It is just that it is still in the early stages of development, so the Xuanhuang Sect still needs to act low-key.

If they were discovered by those ancient forces, it would likely cause no small amount of trouble.

"The Divine Tree Jianmu is indeed powerful."

"It can not only steal the Source Energy of the Immortal World, but also steal a large amount of material soil."

"Even the Jianmu itself can form a unique space-time domain, thereby causing the flow of time to constantly accelerate."

"That is to say, if we stay near the Jianmu to cultivate, one day outside is one year inside."

"Although it will indeed accelerate the consumption of one's lifespan, it can also accelerate one's cultivation speed."

"In a short period of time, one can make one's cultivation improve rapidly."

Hua Siqing also could not help but nod.

She also sensed the magic of the Jianmu's power.

As the Jianmu continues to grow, it begins to manifest talent abilities of varying degrees.

First is the Immortal Technique Life Dust; as long as it is a life form that approaches the Jianmu, its body will constantly shrink, just like dust.

In this way, the space deep inside the Jianmu can house countless living beings.

And the area of such an internal space is also like a vast Universe.

Next is the current space-time domain.

It can distort the flow of space-time and accelerate the progress of time.

If Cultivators stay in the Jianmu Domain to cultivate, they can rapidly improve their cultivation.

After all, one day outside is one year inside.

That is to say, one year outside, and three hundred and sixty-five years have passed inside.

Ten thousand years outside, then that is three million six hundred and fifty thousand years.

If it accumulates over time, then the time consumed is incomparably huge.

However, only immortals can withstand such time consumption.

So for now, only Zhou Sui's Dao Companions, and those Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators who have already become True Immortals, will choose to come to the internal world of the Jianmu to cultivate.

"It is not just that; the Jianmu is growing too rapidly now."

"Its cultivation has at least improved to the Golden Immortal level."

"Now, every leaf on the Jianmu is like a Small Thousand World, inside of which a large number of living beings can be accommodated."

"Previously, my husband said he wanted to migrate a large population to the internal world of the Jianmu to cultivate."

Xia Shuiyang spoke up.

She had heard similar news before when she was practicing Dual Cultivation with her husband.

Without a doubt, this is also an important direction for the future development of the Xuanhuang Sect.

After all, within the entire Mortal World, worlds that are truly rich in resources are still very rare.

If one wants to expand the living space of the Human Race, the internal world of the Jianmu is undoubtedly one of the best choices.

"Migrating to the internal world of the Jianmu to cultivate?"

"To tell the truth, for the Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators, this is simply a tremendous benefit."

"Because the Jianmu is constantly stealing the vast Source Energy of the Immortal World."

"Its inner world is filled with endless Immortal Qi at every moment."

"To a certain extent, the current Jianmu is a Fifth-tier Immortal Vein."

"If one could enter the Jianmu's inner world to cultivate, then for the Cultivators of the Xuanhuang Sect, their cultivation base would surely see a rapid increase, just as if they had entered the Immortal World itself."

"Once it begins, the inner world of the Jianmu will become a sacred cultivation ground for our Xuanhuang Sect."

Ye Feirou could not help but nod.

She also felt that if a large number of Human Cultivators from the Xuanhuang Sect were to reside in the inner world of the Jianmu, it would certainly be able to bring prosperity to the entire inner world of the Jianmu.

In fact, this also holds immense benefits for the growth of the Jianmu.

The inner world of the Jianmu, when it was an Immortal King in the past, was also once inhabited by a large number of creatures from the True Spirit Alliance.

A vast number of creatures residing within the body of the Jianmu can also further promote the growth of the Jianmu.

For both parties, it is mutually beneficial.
