Chapter 634: The Human Race Three Hundred Million Years Later, a Massive Increase in High-Level Immortals
"Since Immortal King Taiyi and the others dared to make such a choice, I fear the Human Race had long since made the corresponding preparations."
"You must know, Immortal King Taiyi is such a cunning and crafty existence; how could he not have a final trump card?"
"I reckon the Human Race has long had a guardian who can protect the safety of the Human Race."
"That is why Immortal King Taiyi and the others were able to choose reincarnation with such peace of mind."
The Demon King Yan of the Demon Race said gloomily.
As an old rival of the Human Race, it was very clear about the terrifying nature of Immortal King Taiyi and the others; one could say their plans were foolproof.
If the Human Race were not secure, it would be impossible for the other party to choose reincarnation all at the same time.
After all, losing the Five Great Ancient Kings is equivalent to the Human Race losing its five strongest combat powers.
Even a minor calamity encountered by the Human Race could potentially cause the deaths of countless living beings.
However, since the other party dared to make such a choice, it means that while Immortal King Taiyi and the others are reincarnating, the Human Race will surely be as stable as Mount Tai and will not encounter any problems.
"I previously investigated the Human Race's Eight-Tier Immortal Array, the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Five Directions Array, and it is still maintaining stable operation."
"In fact, this Eight-Tier Immortal Array is operating even more powerfully than in the past, with absolutely no flaws."
"Without a doubt, a new Ancient King must have been born within the Human Race during this period, and they have also taken control of the Eight-Tier Immortal Array."
"That is why Immortal King Taiyi and the others are so at ease."
"I estimate they believe the existence of this Ancient King will surely be able to protect the safety of the entire Human Race."
The Prison King Bing of the Prison Race said indifferently.
It also pays close attention to the Human Race, as they are, after all, a Super Race of equal standing to them.
Recently, there has even been a subtle trend of them surpassing the other four Super Races.
Therefore, it is also very curious about the development of the Human Race and wants to know all the secrets of the Human Race.
"Oh, such a thing has happened?!"
"It seems the Human Race is truly not destined to perish, to actually have an Ancient King born at a time like this."
"But which Immortal King is the other party, and why have I never heard of them before?"
The Golden Dragon King raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
Regardless, even if the other party might have just stepped into the Ancient King Realm, they are ultimately an existence on the same level as them.
Even if their power is inferior to theirs, it is still about the same.
Even for a veteran Ancient King, killing an Ancient King of the same tier is basically an impossible task.
After all, once one becomes an Ancient King, one possesses an Undying Primordial Spirit; wanting to slay an existence of this level is simply wishful thinking.
From ancient times to the present, the number of Ancient Kings who have truly fallen can be counted on one's fingers.
Merely forcing the other party to reincarnate is already a great achievement.
Wanting to completely erase the traces of the other party is almost an impossible task.
"I don't know; the Human Race has never announced the identity of that Ancient King."
"Up to this point, it remains top-secret information of the Human Race."
"Moreover, according to our current situation, even if the Human Race suffered heavy losses, I fear it would still be impossible to attack the Human Race."
"After all, we are already unable to look after ourselves right now; it is impossible to go to war with the Human Race."
"Currently, our greatest enemy is still the Dark Race."
"I believe you have all noticed it too; the Dark Race has already begun to invade our Five Great Super Races."
"There are even Immortal Kings who have been possessed by the Dark Race."
The Blood Sea King of the Demon Race was suffused with a chilling murderous aura.
Although they were heavily struck by the Dark Race during the battle in the Eternal Night Land in the past, they were not possessed by the other party because their power was extremely formidable.
Even if the other party wanted to possess them, it was basically impossible to succeed.
The problem is that just because they did not encounter possession by a Dark Race Immortal King does not mean other Immortal Kings did not.
For example, the Five Great Ancient Kings of the Human Race were the ones who encountered possession by Dark Race Ancient Kings, which is why they were forced to reincarnate and be reborn, so that they could preserve their lives.
Therefore, it has always wanted to find the whereabouts of the Dark Race Immortal Kings and is constantly investigating every single Immortal King within its race.
Unfortunately, the Dark Race Immortal Kings hide far too deeply.
Even to this day, it can only lock onto a portion of the Immortal Kings.
And there is still no concrete evidence to prove it.
Without concrete evidence, it cannot easily take action.
Because if it is even slightly careless, it could trigger internal strife within the Demon Race.
The losses caused at that time would be even more severe than before.
Perhaps the Demon Race would perish because of it.
Therefore, even knowing that the five Ancient Kings of the Human Race have already reincarnated, it does not dare to rashly attack the Human Race to seize the Human Race's territory.
"The Dark Race is truly too terrifying."
"Their methods of possession are simply silent and traceless."
"They are even more bizarre than Heart Demons."
"Even an existence at the Ancient King level, if a gap is found, could be forcibly possessed."
"And once it succeeds, it is irreversible; it is almost certain death."
"Without a doubt, the Dark Race is the common enemy of our Five Great Super Races."
"Before the Dark Race is resolved, our Five Great Super Races must absolutely not have internal strife."
"Otherwise, we will surely follow in the footsteps of the Prehistoric Civilization."
The Demon King Yan of the Demon Race said in a deep voice.
As an Ancient King who has lived for who knows how many years, he has also excavated many Prehistoric Civilizations.
Therefore, his understanding of the Dark Race is more profound than that of any other Cultivator.
Do not look at them as the Demon Race, born from Darkness.
But compared to the Dark Race, the Demon Race is merely a novice.
That is simply a Darkness that devours everything and annihilates everything, making one shudder.
The goal of the Demon Race is merely to rule the world and turn the Immortal World into a paradise for the Demon Race.
However, the Dark Race wants to annihilate the entire Universe and turn the Universe into nothingness.
Therefore, they absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing happening.
Even if the Demon Race is cruel, they do not want the Universe to be completely destroyed.
After all, no matter what, they all live within this Universe.
If the Universe were destroyed, they would not be able to survive either.
The problem is that even many powerful Prehistoric Civilizations have been destroyed.
As a nascent civilization, their pressure is also quite enormous, and they dare not say they can survive.
"That is correct. During this period, our Five Great Super Races must maintain stability and absolutely must not go to war."
"Even if there are issues within our respective races, we need to watch over and help each other."
"After all, we do not know how many Dark Race Immortal Kings have infiltrated the Five Great Super Races."
"If these Dark Race Immortal Kings start a battle, we all need to take action collectively."
"We absolutely cannot let the power of Darkness spread within the territories of the Five Great Super Races."
The Golden Dragon King said in a deep voice, his tone very serious.
This is also the purpose of their gathering this time.
If the high-level figures remain calm, then no matter how many conflicts the low-level Cultivators have, it is impossible to ignite a war between the Five Great Super Races.
They can even help each other if problems arise within their respective races.
After all, they do not know how severely their races have been infiltrated by the Dark Race now.
Three hundred million years later.
Ever since Zhou Sui unified the Human Race, time has flown by, and three hundred million years have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the Human Race in the Immortal World has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
Thanks to the expansion of the Xuanhuang Sect, the strength of the Human Race has been greatly improved.
Many high-level immortals have emerged rapidly, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
The population of the Human Race has also increased significantly, showing geometric growth.
Many Human Race cities have sprung up from the ground.
It can be said that the speed of the Human Race's strength improvement is simply unprecedented.
Basically, it has entered a period of high-speed development, and no race can stop it at all.
At this very moment, in the Human Race frontier city, Tianfu City.
A Great Luo Golden Immortal walked slowly from the Eternal Night Land; his name is Bai Jingyao.
"It has truly been too long. After spending five hundred million years, I have finally returned from the Eternal Night Land."
Great Luo Golden Immortal Bai Jingyao took a deep breath and looked at the Human Race city in the distance; it seemed as if the entire city was burning with an inextinguishable flame, dispelling the boundless Darkness all around.
The power of Eternal Night could not cross this boundary even by a single step.
Feeling the warmth of this flame, he felt his body warm, and it seemed that the power of Darkness in his body had also been dispelled quite a bit; his whole person felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
He had not felt such warmth for a long time, and his entire body felt incomparably comfortable.
About five hundred million years ago, he appeared in the Eternal Night Land and fought with Aliens.
Who could have imagined that he would suddenly encounter a large-scale siege by Soul-Devouring Beasts, and he had no choice but to flee deep into the Eternal Night Land.
His luck was not bad; he actually discovered the ruins of a Prehistoric Civilization.
Then he hid inside the ruins, which could be considered escaping a mortal crisis.
It is a pity that these Prehistoric Civilization ruins are not a place to be trifled with either.
Inside, there are layers of Forbidden Arrays; if one is even slightly careless, one will trigger the Forbidden Array and thus perish.
Therefore, Great Luo Golden Immortal Bai Jingyao had no choice but to hide in the ruins, cultivating while dismantling the Forbidden Arrays.
Finally, after a full five hundred million years, he managed to crack the Array Formation of the ruins and also obtained all the Treasures inside this Prehistoric Civilization ruin.
At the same time, his cultivation level advanced to Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection, just one step away from the Immortal King Realm.
To be honest, this was indeed a huge opportunity for him.
If he had not obtained the opportunity of this Prehistoric Civilization ruin, how could his cultivation have progressed so quickly?
However, even so, the Eternal Night Land is not a place suitable for the Human Race to stay.
If one stays in the Eternal Night Land for a long time, one will easily be eroded by the power of Eternal Night and eventually become a dark creature.
Therefore, after a period of time, immortals staying in the Eternal Night Land need to leave.
Only after the power of Eternal Night in their bodies is completely cleared can they return to the Eternal Night Land again.
Therefore, he also left the ruins and returned to the Human Race city.
"Strange, why are there no dark creatures near Tianfu City?"
"Could it be that they have all been cleared out by the Heavenly Court?"
When approaching Tianfu City, Bai Jingyao felt full of doubt.
Because five hundred million years ago, the dark creatures and Soul-Devouring Beasts near Tianfu City were very rampant; they hid in the Darkness, specifically hunting Human Race immortals who walked out of the city.
Human Race immortals need to travel in groups to avoid being ambushed and killed by Dark Race creatures.
But now, he senses that the area around Tianfu City is incredibly safe, without even a single Dark Race creature.
It seems that in the area spanning over ten thousand kilometers around Tianfu City, those Dark Race creatures dare not approach.
It is as if the vicinity of the Human Race city has become a forbidden zone for Dark Race creatures.
He feels that such a phenomenon could not have happened without a reason.
Presumably, the Human Heavenly Court regularly clears out the nearby Dark Race creatures, which is why those Dark Race creatures have learned their lesson and dare not approach this region at all in the future.
Of course, to a certain extent, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
This also means that the Human Territory has become increasingly safe and will not easily encounter attacks from Dark Race creatures.
To be honest, returning to the vicinity of the Human Territory, he also feels much safer.
"But why do I feel that the area of Tianfu City has expanded several times compared to before?"
"And the flames shrouding Tianfu City are also more powerful than before."
"They seem to have a huge restraining effect on the power of Eternal Night."
"What kind of immortal fire is this?"
Great Luo Golden Immortal Bai Jingyao instinctively realizes that Tianfu City is completely different from before; in the five hundred million years he was gone, Tianfu City must have undergone unknown changes.
Suddenly, he looks up and sees that a tall tower has appeared in Tianfu City at some point, towering into the clouds.
Standing atop the high tower is a cluster of golden flames.
This cluster of golden flames burns fiercely, like an eternal, undying sun, dispelling the boundless Darkness, thereby turning the entire city and the ten-thousand-mile area nearby into a White Day Land.
To be honest, he feels that under the illumination of such flames, he is as if he has returned to the heartland of the Human Race; it is truly incredible and mind-boggling.
At the same time, under the illumination of such flames, rays of light bloom.
These rays of light fall upon his body, and his entire being feels warm.
The injuries he originally sustained from battle are now actually beginning to heal one after another.
He feels incredibly comfortable.
It is as if the cold deep within his body has been completely dispelled.
This is just like returning to his own warm home.
"Incredible flames."
"They actually have such a huge restraining effect on the power of Darkness and the power of Eternal Night."
"The power of Eternal Night that was originally corroding my body has actually all disappeared."
Great Luo Golden Immortal Bai Jingyao is pleasantly surprised.
Originally, he spent five hundred million years in the Eternal Night Land, and the power of Eternal Night in his body was eroding him every moment.
If this continued, he might have been eroded into a Dark Race creature.
Previously, he planned that after returning to the Human Territory, it would take at least several hundred million years to completely dispel these powers of Darkness.
But under the illumination of these flames, he senses that the power of Darkness within his body is like ice and snow melting; strands of the power of Darkness turn into mist, completely evaporating and disappearing from this space-time.
The flow of Immortal Power within his body has also become much smoother.
"Could it be a special flame found by some Immortal King?"
Great Luo Golden Immortal Bai Jingyao is very excited.
He feels that such a special flame could definitely not be found by ordinary immortals; it must be a flame controlled by some Immortal King, which is why it has such a restraining effect on the power of Eternal Night.
If he could also master such a special flame, he might be able to survive in the Eternal Night Land for a much longer time, and at the same time, be able to kill a large number of Dark Race creatures.
Whoosh!
Great Luo Golden Immortal Bai Jingyao's eyes flicker, his heart filled with wild thoughts, feeling that the Human Race must have undergone unprecedented drastic changes, which is why such changes have occurred.
However, he feels that after returning to Tianfu City, he will definitely be able to know what happened.
At this moment, he is eager to return home.
Thinking of this, his figure flashes, crossing the Void, and in the blink of an eye, he arrives near the city gate of Tianfu City.
He sees that at this very moment, a large number of Human Race immortals are entering and exiting the city gate.
Almost everyone is armed to the teeth, releasing an aura of ferocity from their bodies.
"How can there be so many high-level immortals?"
Great Luo Golden Immortal Bai Jingyao is very surprised.
Normally, frontier cities of the Human Race basically gathered a large number of high-level immortals.
But five hundred million years ago, most of the immortals in the frontier cities were actually Heavenly Immortals and Mysterious Immortals.
As for Golden Immortals, they were already considered top experts.
Needless to say, a Great Luo Golden Immortal could basically become a city lord and suppress a frontier city.
But now, looking around, it seems they are all immortals above the Golden Immortal realm.
And the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals, who are at the same level as him, is also much higher than before.
At the very least, they are not as scarce as they were before.
More importantly, these Human Race immortals enter and exit the Eternal Night Land as if they were on an outing, seemingly without sustaining much injury; this is simply mind-boggling.
If it were his era, every time he entered or exited the Eternal Night Land, it was almost a life-and-death struggle.
After all, no one knew how many Dark Race creatures were hiding in the darkness.
If one were slightly careless, one could die and vanish.
"Could it be that a large number of high-level immortals have gathered in Tianfu City?"
Great Luo Golden Immortal Bai Jingyao cannot help but suspect this.
He feels that only by mobilizing high-level immortals from other cities to come to Tianfu City could such a grand occasion occur.
Otherwise, how could so many high-level Cultivators appear?
"Senior Brother Bai."
Just at this moment, a group of Golden Immortals immediately noticed Bai Jingyao and called out excitedly.
They were all Disciples of the Qiantian Sect.
The so-called Qiantian Sect was naturally a royal-level great sect created by the Qiantian Immortal King, possessing immense power.
As for Bai Jingyao, he was a Great Luo Elder of the Qiantian Sect.
Therefore, Cultivators who originated from the Qiantian Sect naturally recognized Bai Jingyao.
Even though five hundred million years had passed, for high-level Cultivators, it was merely the snap of a finger.
Many Qiantian Sect Disciples were very clear about the reputation of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Bai Jingyao, who was hailed as one of the Great Luo Golden Immortals with the most hope of becoming an Immortal King, and each of them treated Bai Jingyao with immense respect.
"Lord Bai, you have finally returned from the Eternal Night Land."
Many Qiantian Sect Cultivators looked at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Bai Jingyao, all of them filled with emotion and excitement.
After all, this Great Luo Golden Immortal had once guarded Tianfu City for one hundred billion years, and could be said to be illustrious in fame.
Merely disappearing for five hundred million years was nothing at all.
Even if a Great Luo Golden Immortal went into seclusion, it would likely be far longer than five hundred million years.
Therefore, they did not feel particularly estranged from Bai Jingyao.
Seeing this illustrious Great Luo now was just like seeing their own idol.
Even with many words, they could not describe their excitement and joy at this moment.
"Lv Tao, Tao Weidong, Zhang Shiju, Zhao Dongchen, you have actually all ascended to the Golden Immortal Realm."
"It seems that during this period, you have also made significant progress. Could it be that you obtained some fortuitous encounter?"
The Great Luo Golden Immortal Bai Jingyao also recognized these few Qiantian Sect Disciples at once; for a Great Luo Golden Immortal, having a photographic memory was a basic skill, and even if he did not recognize them at first, he would quickly retrieve them from his memory.
So he also remembered these few Cultivators before him, who were merely Mysterious Immortals in the past.
But five hundred million years had passed, and they had already become Golden Immortals.
For ordinary Cultivators, this could be considered a step into the heavens.
Originally, he thought that given their aptitudes, they would have no hope of ascending to the Golden Immortal Realm in this lifetime.
He did not expect that after five hundred million years, they would actually all become Golden Immortals, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
However, for a Great Luo Golden Immortal, this was nothing.
After all, there were simply too many fortuitous encounters in the Immortal World.
If these few Mysterious Immortals had obtained some fortuitous encounter in the Eternal Night Land and thereby broken through the bottleneck of the Mysterious Immortal realm, this was not an impossible thing to happen, so he was a bit surprised, but not to the extent of making a fuss.
"Lord Bai, we did not obtain any fortuitous encounter."
"It is just because we had merit in guarding the frontier cities that we obtained enough Contribution Points."
"That is why we were able to exchange for a few Fifth-tier Immortal Pills and ascend to the Golden Immortal Realm."
The Golden Immortal Lv Tao smiled slightly and said very humbly.
He naturally also wanted to obtain a fortuitous encounter, but the problem was that a fortuitous encounter to ascend to the Golden Immortal Realm was not so easily obtained.
The reason he was able to become a Golden Immortal was also because of the Heavenly Court, because he had obtained a large amount of Contribution Points.
"Exchanged for Fifth-tier Immortal Pills?"
"Since when does the Heavenly Court have so many Fifth-tier Immortal Pills?"
"And just the Contribution Points obtained from guarding frontier cities would likely not be enough at all."
Hearing this, Bai Jingyao was stunned for a moment, somewhat unable to believe his own ears, feeling it was very inconceivable.
Because for him, Fifth-tier Immortal Pills were already quite high-level Pills.
Even the Heavenly Court did not have many Fifth-tier Immortal Pills.
After all, Fifth-tier Immortal Medicine was already quite rare in the Immortal World; it could be said to be worth a fortune and was scarce in quantity.
Even if they were truly refined, they would basically be given to those peerless geniuses to consume.
If ordinary Cultivators wanted to obtain them, they would not know how many Contribution Points or how many Immortal Stones they would need to expend.
Many Mysterious Immortals also exhausted their strength and consumed countless years of time before they might be able to exchange for one Fifth-tier Immortal Pill.
Sometimes, even exhausting the entire net worth of a Mysterious Immortal might not necessarily secure one Fifth-tier Immortal Pill.
From this, one can see just how precious high-level Immortal Pills are.
"Lord Bai has left the Human Territory for five hundred million years, so perhaps you are not very clear about the changes in the Human Race now."
"Three hundred million years ago, a royal-level great sect suddenly rose within our Human Race, named the Xuanhuang Sect."
"It is said that this royal-level great sect obtained the inheritance of the Medicine Civilization and is extremely skilled at refining Immortal Pills and cultivating Immortal Medicine."
"They can even greatly shorten the growth cycle of Immortal Medicine."
"It is precisely because of this that after the rise of the Xuanhuang Sect, the prices of many Immortal Pills for our Human Race dropped rapidly; compared to before, the price is estimated to be only one-tenth of what it was."
"Even more astonishing is that the quantity of many high-level Immortal Pills is very sufficient."
"I cannot say they are supplied in unlimited quantities, but at least they are not always lacking as they were before."
The Golden Immortal Tao Weidong explained.
He also knew that this Great Luo Golden Immortal had just returned from the Eternal Night Land, so it was very normal for him not to be clear about the changes in the Human Race now.
