Chapter 660: Adding Five Thousand Immortal Kings, the Development of the Hell Plane

"Even Prehistoric Immortal Kings have appeared?"

Hearing this, Immortal King Taiyi was stunned.

He knew exactly how cautious those Prehistoric Immortal Kings were; every one of them was a master of the Dao of survival.

Unless it was an absolute last resort, they would never be willing to step out of their ruins.

Yet now, they had actually taken the initiative to leave and come to the White Day Land.

Without a doubt, these Prehistoric Immortal Kings must have highly recognized the current power of the Immortal Dao Civilization, believing it could surely defeat the Eternal Night and the Dark Race; otherwise, how could they have possibly appeared of their own accord?

But this was also enough to prove just how powerful the current Immortal Dao Civilization was.

However, thinking about it carefully, this was also a very normal thing.

After all, the Immortal Dao Civilization had conquered ninety percent of the Immortal World's territory, which was an unprecedented achievement.

Even many Prehistoric Civilizations could not accomplish this.

"But why is there still ten percent of the territory that has not been recovered?"

Immortal King Taiyi noticed this point and asked.

"That is because the remaining ten percent of the territory belongs to the region shrouded by the Eternal Night Dao Palace."

"To be honest, the power of Eternal Night in that place is simply too terrifying; it is practically close to eternal Darkness."

"Even with the power of the Hope Fire, I fear it would be impossible to clear away the power of Eternal Night within."

"I estimate that unless the existence behind the Eternal Night is dealt with, there is no hope of completely recovering this region."

The Great Thousand World Mirror said in a deep voice.

In fact, the Heavenly Court had previously attempted to recover that region, but unfortunately, it was impossible to even get close.

The Darkness in that place could simply swallow everything.

At the very least, one must be an Immortal King to be able to contend with the Darkness of that region.

Therefore, that place had become an absolute forbidden zone of the Immortal World, and no Immortal was allowed to approach it.

To be honest, that place had also become a powerful barrier for the Dark Race.

The other side did not need to do anything at all.

Merely by hiding in that dark region, they could withstand the power of all the races in the Immortal World.

From this, one can see just how terrifying the existence behind the Eternal Night is.

"It seems that wanting to truly resolve the power of the Eternal Night is not as simple as imagined."

Immortal King Taiyi nodded.

He felt that the current Immortal Dao Civilization was already powerful enough.

Especially with a Half-step Dao Lord like Immortal King Xuanhuang, but even so, it was still unable to eliminate the Dark Race.

The Dark Race was still able to tenaciously survive within the Immortal World.

And this was while the other side was in a deep sleep; if they were to awaken, one could only imagine what might happen—perhaps no one in the entire Immortal World could withstand their power.

"But you should not underestimate the current Heavenly Court either."

"Apart from those Prehistoric Immortal Kings, in fact, over this period of time, the Immortal World has also cultivated over five thousand Immortal Kings."

"It can be said that the number of Immortal Kings is growing crazily."

"The Immortal Kings lost previously because of the Dark Race have also been compensated for all at once."

The Great Thousand World Mirror said.

"Five thousand Immortal Kings added? Is this true or false?"

"Since when has it been so easy to ascend to Immortal King?"

Hearing this, Immortal King Taiyi felt it was unbelievable; he had no idea how the Heavenly Court had managed to do it.

After all, in the previous era, if the Immortal World wanted to increase the number of Immortal Kings, one could not even imagine how much time it would take.

A super-large race only possessed a little over a thousand Immortal Kings.

Even if the Five Great Super Races were added together, it was only five or six thousand.

But now, suddenly adding so many Immortal Kings was truly beyond his imagination.

"Of course it is true."

"I am the Great Thousand World Mirror, and I can monitor the world."

"Whenever someone ascends to Immortal King, it cannot be hidden from my eyes."

"The reason why the number of Immortal Kings has suddenly surged is because the Heavenly Court has cultivated countless high-tier Immortal Medicines."

"In particular, some Seventh-order Immortal Medicines and Eight-Tier Immortal Medicines have been cultivated on a large scale."

"With sufficient resources, some Great Luo Golden Immortals stuck in bottlenecks have had the opportunity to break through their bottlenecks."

"That is why, over ten billion years, so many Immortal Kings have been born."

"However, after this explosion period ends, the number of Immortal Kings born might not be so high."

"After all, too many Great Luo Golden Immortals were stuck in this bottleneck previously."

"Once this batch of Great Luo Golden Immortals with potential has all ascended, the remaining Great Luo Golden Immortals will likely need to cultivate for a long time before they have a chance to attempt to break through to become Immortal Kings."

The Great Thousand World Mirror explained.

Without a doubt, the Heavenly Court's ability to cultivate Immortal Medicines is beyond imagination.

Previously, high-tier Immortal Medicines all relied on nature.

That is to say, many Immortal Kings could only find these high-tier Immortal Medicines in the natural world.

Once picked, these Immortal Medicines would become nearly extinct.

Even if they appeared again, one could not imagine how many hundreds of millions of years it would take.

As time passed, these high-tier Immortal Medicines naturally went extinct and never appeared before the world again.

However, it is different now.

The Heavenly Court has mastered advanced techniques for cultivating Immortal Medicine.

Even Seventh-order Immortal Medicine and Eight-Tier Immortal Medicine can be easily cultivated to success.

Furthermore, it can shorten the growth cycles of these Immortal Medicines.

In this way, the cost for the many Great Luo Golden Immortals and Immortal Kings to obtain these resources has been reduced by an unknown amount.

At the same time, it has also allowed more Great Luo Golden Immortals the opportunity to become Immortal Kings.

Therefore, over this period of time, a large number of Immortal King-level powerhouses have been born in the Immortal World.

Currently, the Heavenly Court is still in a stage of rapid development.

No one knows to what extent the Immortal World will develop in the future.

"So that's how it is; is it much easier for Great Luo Golden Immortals to ascend to Immortal King now than before?"

Immortal King Taiyi stroked his chin.

He felt a little envious in his heart.

After all, if it were the era he lived in, wanting to become an Immortal King was truly too difficult.

Wanting to find some Seventh-order Immortal Medicine or Eight-Tier Immortal Medicine was an almost impossible task.

Because similar resources had long since gone extinct in the White Day Land.

If one wanted to find these Immortal King-level resources, one had to enter the Eternal Night Land.

The problem is, how dangerous is the Eternal Night Land?

Deep within the Darkness, one knows not how many terrifying dark creatures are hidden.

If one is even slightly careless, one could completely perish inside.

Even an Immortal King cannot guarantee that they can survive in the Eternal Night Land.

Therefore, to want to become an Immortal King, one must be a monster who has slaughtered their way out from among countless heaven-gifted geniuses.

And one also needs a little bit of luck and opportunity.

Otherwise, it is simply impossible to succeed.

This also gives the Immortal King a pivotal status throughout the entire Immortal World.

Of course, even in the current Immortal World where materials are extremely abundant, wanting to become an Immortal King is not such an easy matter.

Even with many cultivation resources piled up, one cannot guarantee that one will definitely be able to ascend successfully.

One still needs to see if one has sufficient cultivation aptitude.

Without cultivation aptitude, it is estimated that no matter how many Immortal Medicines one consumes, one will be unable to comprehend the Upper Laws one by one.

In this way, wanting to go a step further is basically an impossible matter.

"However, the foundation of the Heavenly Court is not just these Immortal Kings of various races."

"In fact, the foundation of Immortal King Xuanhuang is even more unfathomable."

"He built Hell Planes one after another within the Immortal World and constructed a place for Hell Samsara."

"It can be said that he has completely controlled the entire Immortal World and is the undisputed Lord of the Immortal World."

Great Thousand World Mirror said with a very serious expression.

Because the secret it discovered is not something an ordinary Immortal King could know.

If it were not for its special ability to monitor the world and detect the existence of the Hell Planes.

I am afraid that until now, it would have remained in the dark.

It would have had no idea of the true methods of Immortal King Xuanhuang.

"Hell Planes? What kind of place is this?"

"Could it be a Secret Realm World created by Immortal King Xuanhuang?"

Immortal King Taiyi asked curiously.

However, he did not find it strange, because for an Immortal King, creating a Secret Realm World is truly too trivial.

With a wave of the hand, one can build Secret Realms one after another.

But for an Immortal King, that also has no meaning.

The Immortal World is already vast enough; even the vast territory of the Immortal World has not been fully occupied yet.

Even if one creates some Secret Realm Worlds, what use would they have?

"It is indeed a Secret Realm World, but it is extremely special."

"Because what Immortal King Xuanhuang created is a world of the dead, named Hell."

"Before the Hell Planes appeared, the Souls of countless living beings would wander the earth after death."

"Because these Souls are extremely powerful and have devoured the infinite negative energy of the earth, they easily form evil ghosts."

"These evil ghosts gather together, hiding in deep mountains and wild forests, with heavy resentment."

"Even though they are surrounded and suppressed by immortals time and time again, these evil ghosts still emerge one after another."

"They are simply like wild grass, able to regenerate continuously."

"Undoubtedly, this has also become a huge hidden danger for the Immortal World."

"I do not know how many mortals have died at the hands of these evil ghosts."

Great Thousand World Mirror said in a deep voice.

"It is indeed a hidden danger."

Immortal King Taiyi nodded; he also acknowledged this point.

Previously, he also wanted to solve the problem of these rampant evil ghosts, but he discovered that this matter could not be solved at all.

Because the root cause of the formation of evil ghosts is the living beings of all races.

Only after they die do they transform into evil ghosts.

Therefore, unless the living beings of the entire Immortal World are completely extinct, evil ghosts will not disappear.

Thus, one certainly cannot slaughter countless living beings just to resolve the evil ghosts; that would purely be a loss outweighing the gain.

It is precisely because of this that, as time passed, he completely gave up on resolving this matter.

He could only let these evil ghosts exist in the present world and live in peace with them.

Thereby forming a stable ecology.

After all, the Immortal World still had too many troubles left unresolved, and the hidden danger of these evil ghosts was merely one of them, so he did not place too much importance on this matter.

"In order to resolve this problem, Immortal King Xuanhuang created the Hell Plane."

"The so-called Hell Plane is a place where the dead reside, or even a prison for the dead."

"It is precisely because of this that a vast number of evil ghosts were driven into the Hell Plane."

"From then on, there were no more wandering souls in the Immortal World."

The Great Thousand World Mirror said.

"No wonder I cannot see the existence of wandering souls; so they all went to the Hell Plane?"

"It seems Immortal King Xuanhuang is truly a Heavenly Emperor in name and reality."

"To have actually resolved one major hidden danger of the Immortal World after another, I am inferior to him."

Immortal King Taiyi was very amazed.

"Master, if it were merely that, it would be fine."

"But after countless wandering souls entered the Hell Plane, it actually caused the Hell Plane to undergo earth-shaking changes."

"I believe you also know that the entire world, and even the Universe, is actually two sides of the same coin."

"The power of life and the power of death are equal, which is why a balance is formed."

"After the Hell Plane appeared, infinite Death Power and Darkness energy poured into the depths of the Hell Plane one after another."

"As time passed, it actually caused the Hell Plane to become the dark side of the Immortal World."

"Undoubtedly, Hell is already a quite important part of the Immortal World."

"The living beings bred within it are in no way inferior to the living beings of the Immortal World."

The Great Thousand World Mirror said.

"What do you mean? Is the Hell Plane not just a Secret Realm World for imprisoning wandering souls?"

Immortal King Taiyi was stunned.

It seemed he had somewhat underestimated the existence of this Hell Plane.

Seeing the Great Thousand World Mirror so nervous, he felt that this Hell Plane must be extraordinary.

Otherwise, as a knowledgeable Innate Dharma Treasure, it would absolutely not be so nervous and serious.

"At first, it might have just been an ordinary Secret Realm World for imprisoning wandering souls."

"But as countless wandering souls of the Immortal World entered the Hell Plane, it became completely different."

"After ten billion years of development, countless wandering souls entered the Hell Plane, thereby causing these Hell Planes to undergo a transformation, evolving into vast worlds of death."

"These worlds of death also became a part of the Origin of the Immortal World."

"The wandering souls residing in the Hell Plane are all immortal existences."

"Even if they are killed, they will continuously resurrect within the Hell Plane."

"About ten billion years ago, the Dark Race once awakened countless dark creatures and formed a massive dark legion, attempting to drown the entire White Day Land; their numbers were simply endless."

"But Immortal King Xuanhuang summoned countless immortal wandering souls from these Hell Planes; these immortal wandering souls appeared in the present world, each possessing extraordinary combat power and fearing no death, actually fighting the dark legions to a standstill."

"Undoubtedly, this is also an immortal army mastered by Immortal King Xuanhuang."

The Great Thousand World Mirror explained.

"An immortal army of wandering souls?"

"In that case, the Hell Plane can, to a certain extent, also be considered Immortal King Xuanhuang's training ground."

"The reason the other party created the Hell Plane, in fact, the purpose was not as simple as imagined."

"And it was to borrow the power of the Hell Plane to create an immortal army of wandering souls."

"He even succeeded, possessing a power of decisive importance."

Immortal King Taiyi's pupils contracted.

As one of the nine Ancient Kings of the Human Race in the past, he was knowledgeable and naturally knew just how terrifying such an immortal army was; once released, it could absolutely sweep across the world, worthy of being called an undead disaster.

More importantly, countless undead gathering together would release endless Death Power, thereby causing the energy of death to shroud all directions, turning an entire region into a land of death.

This was the thing that made the Immortal Kings feel terrified.

To a certain extent, this was somewhat similar to the power of the Dark Race, the power of Eternal Night.

The Dark Race used such erosive power of Darkness to nibble away at regions one by one.

Many immortals could only watch this scene, helpless.

Once the entire Immortal World is nibbled away, then as vast as the Immortal World is, there will be no place for the various races to stand.
