Chapter 635: 1.3 Billion Great Luo Golden Immortals, the Burning of the Fire of Hope

"A new King-level sect has actually been born?"

"And it even obtained the inheritance of the Medicine Civilization? This is simply a blessing for our Human Race."

"Is the inheritance of this Medicine Civilization really that remarkable?"

Hearing this, Bai Jingyao felt great joy in his heart.

Regarding the birth of a King-level sect, he did not find it strange at all.

As long as a new Immortal King appears, it signifies that a new King-level power of the Human Race will emerge.

For ordinary Immortals, perhaps the appearance of a new King-level sect is something they basically never see.

But for Great Luo Golden Immortals like them, who can survive for trillions of years, there is still a chance to see a new King-level sect appear.

Even these Great Luo Golden Immortals themselves might become Immortal Kings, thereby changing the landscape of the Human Race's powers.

Regardless, the appearance of a new Immortal King is of immense benefit to the Human Race.

It represents a further elevation of the Human Race's strength.

It also means the Human Race is safer in the Immortal World.

"Of course it is remarkable; it is simply beyond imagination."

"Perhaps you do not know yet, Brother Bai."

"Right now, the Immortal Medicine Gardens of the Xuanhuang Sect are practically spread across every major continent of the Immortal World."

"Even King-level sects like our Qiantian Sect have Immortal Medicine Gardens built personally by Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators."

"The growth speed of the Immortal Medicine planted in these Immortal Medicine Gardens is simply terrifyingly fast."

"Immortal Medicine that originally required one hundred million years to reach maturity now only needs a hundred years to mature."

"If specifically accelerated, it can even mature in a few decades."

"Therefore, the quantity of Immortal Medicine within our Human Race is currently showing explosive growth."

Zhang Shiju said with great emotion.

He had lived for such a long time and had never seen Immortal Medicine cultivated in such a way; it was truly an eye-opener.

Immortal Medicine that was originally incredibly scarce was, under the planting of Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators, popping up just like Chinese cabbage.

One cannot say that high-grade Immortal Medicine is everywhere, but compared to before, the quantity has increased by dozens, even over a hundred times.

It is precisely because of the appearance of large amounts of Immortal Medicine that numerous high-grade Immortal Pills have surged forth.

This has also benefited the various Immortals of the Human Race.

Especially for some Immortals who were already at a bottleneck, after obtaining these Immortal Pills, they broke through with ease.

So, over these three hundred million years, a large number of Immortals have broken through one after another, ascending to higher realms.

"Our Qiantian Sect also has Xuanhuang Sect Immortal Medicine Gardens inside?"

"Do the Elders agree to such a thing?"

Bai Jingyao was stunned, feeling it was a bit unbelievable.

Because this is equivalent to one's own sect's Immortal Medicine being controlled by another sect, equivalent to having one's vital point held by others.

If it were an ordinary sect, that would be one thing, but the Qiantian Sect is a King-level sect.

Normally, such a thing should not be allowed to happen.

"Of course they all agreed."

"It is said that the Immortal Kings settled this matter, and other Immortals can only follow suit."

"More importantly, the Elders also need the Immortal Pills refined by the Xuanhuang Sect."

"They have been trapped in bottlenecks for a very long time, and even the sect cannot help them."

"At this time, only by relying on the Immortal Medicine of the Xuanhuang Sect do they have a chance to break through."

"For the Elders, naturally, their own interests are more important."

Lv Tao said straightforwardly.

Clearly, compared to the interests of the sect, their own interests were a bit more important.

Especially those Immortals whose Longevity was about to be exhausted; they would naturally be more likely to agree to such a thing.

Even if their vital point is held, so what? As long as their cultivation can break through and their Longevity is extended, then everything is worth it.

And since even the Immortal Kings do not care, what could they, as ordinary Immortals, possibly say?

"That's right, and there is no such thing as being held by the vital point."

"Now our Human Race is incredibly united, and the interests of the various major sects are integrated."

"Everyone is one family, so this point does not count for anything at all."

Tao Weidong explained.

If it were before, the interests of the sect would have been paramount over other interests.

But ever since the Xuanhuang Sect appeared, it seems to have integrated all the King-level sects.

The Human Race presents an unprecedented level of high unity.

All sects need to think for the big picture.

It is precisely because of this that the various major sects turn a blind eye to the expansion of the Xuanhuang Sect's power.

They are even happy to see it happen.

After all, if the Xuanhuang Sect can plant large amounts of Immortal Medicine, it is of immense benefit to every single Immortal.

Regarding such matters, they are naturally very welcoming.

"In that case, doesn't that mean our Human Race has given birth to many Immortals during this period?"

Bai Jingyao asked curiously.

As the saying goes, one can see the whole picture from a single spot; from the appearance of many Golden Immortals in Tianfu City to the emergence of cheap Immortal Medicine, he immediately knew that the Human Race must have given birth to a large number of high-grade Immortals during this time.

Within the Human Race itself, there were originally a large number of immortals trapped by bottlenecks.

The reason they were unable to break through was not because their talent was insufficient, but purely because of a lack of resources.

If there were sufficient resources, then breaking through would be as simple as eating or drinking water.

Now, the emergence of the Xuanhuang Sect has greatly lowered the prices of Immortal Medicine and Immortal Pills.

Even if one were to think with their knees, they would know exactly how many high-tier immortals the Human Race would give birth to.

"That's right, it is indeed just as Senior Brother Bai predicted; during this period, our Human Race has given birth to a large number of high-tier immortals."

"There is naturally no need to mention immortals at the Golden Immortal level; they are simply countless, and a large batch appears every so often."

"What is even more important is the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals, which is simply showing an explosive increase."

"It is said that the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals has already reached 1.3 billion."

Tao Weidong said with great emotion.

What?!

Once these words were spoken, even though Bai Jingyao had long been mentally prepared, his heart could not help but be stirred into turbulent waves.

Because this number was truly too terrifying.

Previously, within the Human Territory, the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals was estimated to be only tens of millions.

But now, it has actually skyrocketed to 1.3 billion, which is simply inconceivable.

He could not even imagine how so many Great Luo Golden Immortals had appeared.

Could it be that so many talented Golden Immortals could really appear within the Human Territory?

"Is it true or false? So many Great Luo Golden Immortals have actually appeared?"

"Could it be that Great Luo Golden Immortals are no longer valuable?"

Bai Jingyao could not help but ask.

"It cannot be said that they are worthless, it is just that compared to before, the gold content of a Great Luo Golden Immortal has indeed dropped quite a bit."

"However, even so, our Human Territory is vast; if distributed across the 1.296 trillion great provinces, this number of Great Luo Golden Immortals is actually still very rare."

"The reason so many Great Luo Golden Immortals were born is purely because the Xuanhuang Sect refined a large number of Fifth-tier Immortal Pills and Sixth Rank Immortal Pills."

"Many Human Race Golden Immortals were originally on the verge of breaking through."

"Now that they have received the assistance of Sixth Rank Immortal Pills, it is simply like adding wings to a tiger."

"Breaking through is no longer a difficult matter."

Tao Weidong explained.

The others could not help but nod, fully agreeing with this point.

Only after they consumed these Immortal Pills did they know just how immense the effect of Immortal Pills was on immortals.

If they had been able to have enough Immortal Pills to consume in the past, they might have been able to become Golden Immortals at a faster speed.

Becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the future might not have been impossible either.

Therefore, it is very normal for so many Great Luo Golden Immortals to appear; it is nothing at all.

Of course, the appearance of so many Great Luo Golden Immortals in the last 300 million years is purely because of the accumulation of long-term efforts.

Too many Golden Immortals were trapped at this realm.

After obtaining the Sixth Rank Immortal Pills, they broke through as a matter of course.

If this batch of people breaks through gradually, I am afraid it will take more time to give birth to more Great Luo Golden Immortals.

"Moreover, Senior Brother Bai, the Xuanhuang Sect does not just have Sixth Rank Immortal Pills; it is said that they have even refined some Seven-Tier Immortal Pills."

"If you, Senior Brother, are able to exchange for a Seven-Tier Immortal Pill, you might have a chance to ascend to Immortal King."

Lv Tao looked at his senior brother Bai Jingyao and could not help but offer a reminder.

"Seven-Tier Immortal Pill? Could it be that the Xuanhuang Sect even has Seven-Tier Immortal Pills?"

Once these words were spoken, Bai Jingyao was completely stunned; it was simply unbelievable.

After all, even the previous king-level sects and the Heavenly Court did not have Seven-Tier Immortal Pills.

Because these are pills at the Immortal King level; where could they be found so easily?

Even if there were such alchemists, there were no Immortal Medicines of this level.

If one wants to find a Seven-Tier Immortal Pill, most can only head to the Eternal Night Land to find Prehistoric Relics.

And that is only a possibility.

In fact, many Prehistoric Relics do not have Seven-Tier Immortal Pills.

So, hearing that the Xuanhuang Sect actually even has Seven-Tier Immortal Pills, he felt very shocked and found it a bit inconceivable.

If he could obtain one Seven-Tier Immortal Pill, then the probability of ascending to the Immortal King Realm would increase by at least ten percent.

Do not look at it as just ten percent; for a Great Luo Golden Immortal, this is already quite extraordinary.

After all, among over a billion Great Luo Golden Immortals, it is estimated that only a thousand or so can truly break through to become Immortal Kings.

From this, it can be seen just how difficult it is to ascend to become an Immortal King.

"Of course they have them; this is the foundation of the Xuanhuang Sect."

"It is rumored that the Xuanhuang Sect even has Eight-Tier Immortal Pills."

"In short, the Xuanhuang Sect is now the strongest pill sect of our Human Race."

"Their reputation has long spread to every household, and almost everyone knows of them."

Lv Tao said in a deep voice, full of confidence in the capabilities of the Xuanhuang Sect.

After all, this is also a reputation accumulated over many years.

To this day, too many Human Race immortals have consumed Immortal Pills refined by the Xuanhuang Sect.

These Immortal Pills are even something that only the Xuanhuang Sect possesses.

"How can one obtain a Seven-Tier Immortal Pill?"

Bai Jingyao was instantly moved; he was only a step away from the Immortal King Realm.

If he could obtain this Seven-Tier Immortal Pill, then his Dao would have great hope.

"As for that, you only need to join the Heavenly Court and earn enough Contribution Points."

"Given your abilities, Senior Brother, earning Contribution Points should be an easy task."

"However, before entering Tianfu City, you will likely need to integrate a Dream World Mark."

Lv Tao explained.

He could see that there was no Dream World Mark on Bai Jingyao.

After all, he had been staying in the Eternal Night Land all this time and had never returned to the Human Territory.

So, it was perfectly normal that he had not integrated a Dream World Mark.

But now, within the Human Territory, basically everyone integrates a Dream World Mark.

Even newborn infants have one.

It is precisely because of this that without a Dream World Mark, one cannot enter the Human Territory.

"Dream World Mark? What is that?"

Bai Jingyao asked with a puzzled look.

He felt deeply moved inside; he truly had not returned to the Human Territory for a very long time.

He never expected that so many incredible things had happened to the Human Race.

To be honest, he felt that the current Human Race and the previous Human Race were already completely different.

To him, the current Human Race was simply extremely unfamiliar.

"The so-called Dream World Mark is a special mark created by an Innate Dharma Treasure—the Dream World—mastered by our Human Race's Immortal Kings."

"Once you integrate the Dream World Mark, our Soul will be protected by the Dream Realm Power."

"In this way, no one can possess the souls of our Human Race."

"Ever since the Dream World Mark was integrated, there have been no more cases of our Human Race's immortals being possessed."

Lv Tao said.

Without a doubt, the appearance of the Dream World Mark had greatly influenced the entire Human Race and promoted its development.

Previously, Human Race immortals had to be extremely cautious, fearing that their souls would be possessed by enemies.

Even as companions, they could not trust each other.

After all, the methods of possession used by Aliens were far too strange and powerful, making them almost impossible to guard against.

But now, the appearance of the Innate Dharma Treasure, the Dream World, had helped the Human Race completely solve this problem.

No matter what kind of Alien Cultivator it is, they cannot hope to possess a Human Race soul.

This has also caused the safety of Human Race immortals to increase exponentially.

Therefore, to this day, all Human Race immortals must integrate the Dream World Mark.

If an immortal does not have a Dream World Mark, then they are not one of our own.

"Our Human Race actually obtained such a powerful Innate Dharma Treasure?"

Bai Jingyao instantly understood that this Innate Dharma Treasure held extremely significant meaning for the Human Race, equivalent to setting up a powerful net of Soul Protection for the entire population.

He also understood very well why the Human Race made such a choice.

If he were possessed by an Alien, then upon returning to the Human Race, he would no longer be an asset, but instead could be a disaster.

Therefore, the appearance of the Dream World Mark can help immortals determine whether they have been possessed by an Alien Cultivator.

To a certain extent, this can also be considered a means of detection.

"So, I hope you can understand our difficult position, Senior Brother Bai."

"If you are unwilling, I am afraid you will not be able to return to any city of the Human Race."

Lv Tao and the others all looked at Bai Jingyao.

In fact, over the past three hundred million years of history, there have been immortals who ventured deep into the Eternal Night Land and then returned to the Human Territory from time to time.

Some of these immortals had been possessed, while others had not.

But as long as they were tested by the Innate Dharma Treasure, the Dream World, they would inevitably be completely exposed.

It is precisely because of this that every immortal entering a Human Race city must pass the detection of the Dream World Mark.

Otherwise, they cannot enter any Human Race city.

Of course, if the other party refuses, then it means their identity is problematic.

"It's fine, this is just a routine check, not directed at me."

"So, I am willing to integrate the Dream World Mark."

Bai Jingyao said straightforwardly; since everyone has a Dream World Mark anyway, he did not feel this was any problem.

"That's great."

Hearing this, Lv Tao and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, they still had some doubts about Bai Jingyao's identity, after all, the other party had stayed in the Eternal Night Land for five hundred million years.

Who knows what might have happened to Bai Jingyao in the Eternal Night Land over such a long time.

Perhaps the other party had been possessed by the Dark Race.

This was not an impossible thing.

However, now that the other party agreed to integrate the Dream World Mark, it meant that perhaps the problem with the other party was not as great as they had imagined.

Boom~~

In an instant, Bai Jingyao immediately integrated the Dream World Mark; he sensed a strange symbol appearing on the back of his hand, which seemed to connect his Soul to a strange world.

At the same time, he sensed that his soul was instantly enveloped by a mysterious soul power, forming a unique soul barrier; any external soul power, if it wished to harm him, would have to pass through this soul barrier.

Without a doubt, this was the soul defense of the Innate Dharma Treasure, the Dream World.

To a certain extent, it was equivalent to everyone having obtained a defense for their soul.

The power of that Innate Dharma Treasure was simply beyond imagination.

"It seems Brother Bai's identity is not a problem."

Lv Tao and the others looked at each other, feeling very joyful.

Since the Dream World had scanned the other party's soul and detected no issues, it meant the other party was definitely one of their own.

With this, they could also feel quite relieved.

"Is this the Dream World? An incredible Innate Dharma Treasure."

In an instant, Bai Jingyao sensed the information transmitted by the Dream World, and he immediately knew what this so-called Dream World was and what its uses were.

Simply put, this was a super communication device that allowed immortals to contact one another, as if they were close at hand even when worlds apart.

Ever since the Dream World appeared, the ease of communication for immortals in the Human Territory had increased many times over.

Even if they were located at opposite ends of the world, they could contact each other instantly.

The Dream World even possessed an object transportation function.

In other words, one could completely purchase various treasures on the Dream World and then have them transported to one's side.

For the humans of the Immortal World, this was simply a earth-shaking change.

From then on, immortals no longer needed to go to offline shops; as long as they purchased treasures on the Dream World, they could arrive instantly.

Things like killing others to seize treasures would also almost never happen again.

After all, one could not even see the other person's face, and others would not know what kind of treasures one had on them.

"Lord Bai, let's enter Tianfu City first."

At this moment, Lv Tao said immediately, as this was not a place for idle chatter.

Many people were queuing to enter the city.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

Hearing this, Bai Jingyao followed the crowd and entered Tianfu City.

Suddenly, he sensed that Tianfu City was incomparably lively; the number of immortals living inside was truly vast, bustling with activity.

The shops and goods on the streets were simply dazzling.

Compared to five hundred million years ago, it was many times livelier.

At the same time, the streets and area of Tianfu City were also larger than before.

"I shouldn't be sensing this wrong, right? Why do I feel like the area of Tianfu City has expanded?"

Bai Jingyao looked at the others and voiced his confusion.

"Lord Bai is not sensing it wrong; that is indeed correct."

"Over the past three hundred million years, the area of our Tianfu City has expanded by more than a hundred times."

"In fact, it is not just our Tianfu City; the other frontier cities are the same."

"The area has expanded by at least a hundred times, and some have even expanded by a thousand or ten thousand times."

"Overall, the area of our Human Territory has also expanded quite a bit."

"It can be considered as having expanded quite a bit of living space for our Human Race."

Lv Tao smiled slightly.

This was also the achievement that their group of frontier armies was most proud of.

After all, previously, the Human Heavenly Court guarded the frontier, only to be beaten back step by step by the Dark Race creatures, with the defensive line constantly shrinking.

They did not even know how much of their territory had been swallowed by the power of Eternal Night.

But ever since the Xuanhuang Sect rose to power, they had sounded the horn of counterattack.

They began to force the Dark Race creatures to retreat, causing them to constantly push back their defensive lines.

The result was self-evident; they not only reclaimed their original territory but even expanded into more territory.

This also allowed the frontier cities to house more immortals.

Because of this, they also obtained a large amount of Contribution Points.

Almost every immortal's cultivation had received a huge boost.

"You actually reclaimed the original territory and even expanded the living space?"

"How on earth was this accomplished?"

"After all, the power of Eternal Night is extremely terrifying; if this dark power is not dispelled, it is simply not suitable for us humans to survive."

Bai Jingyao was completely stunned, simply unable to believe what his ears were hearing.

He could understand the various events that had happened to the humans before.

After all, having obtained treasures from a Prehistoric Civilization, lowering the price of Immortal Pills and cultivating large amounts of Immortal Medicine—things like that were not impossible.

But now, to actually be able to dispel the Darkness and expand territory, this was simply too exaggerated.

In the past, who knew how many Immortal Kings had attempted to reclaim the territory, but none could do it.

So he felt that such a thing was truly inconceivable.

He had no idea how it was actually done.

"It's very simple; that is because our human Immortal Kings found a special flame."

"It is named the Hope Fire."

"See that tall tower in our Tianfu City? What is burning on top of it is the Hope Fire."

"Such a special flame is almost never extinguished, and it has a huge restraining effect on the power of Eternal Night and the power of Darkness."

"Once the Hope Fire begins to burn, the light it releases can annihilate all power of Darkness."

"Turning every region into daylight."

"Relying on the power of the Hope Fire, our frontier cities have taken the opportunity to disperse a vast amount of Darkness."

"Causing the land that was originally shrouded in Darkness to completely return to the rule of light."

"That is why we have been able to continuously expand the territory of the Human race and increase our land area."

Lv Tao explained.

The reason the Human Race's territory has been able to continuously expand is entirely due to the power of the Hope Fire.

Although in terms of the power of the flame, the Hope Fire cannot compare to other immortal fires, it happens to have a tremendous restraining effect on the power of Darkness and the power of Eternal Night.

It can completely be called the natural nemesis of Darkness.

Ever since the Hope Fire existed, that group of dark creatures has never dared to invade Human cities again.

Because if they were to approach a city, they would immediately be scorched by the power of the Hope Fire.

The moment they make contact, they would be completely burned to death, reduced to ashes and smoke.

It can be said that the Hope Fire is the stabilizing pillar of Tianfu City, having protected the safety of Tianfu City for hundreds of millions of years.

This kind of flame is simply vital and indispensable to Humans.
