Suddenly, there was a dazzling light in the crowd. Someone had an epiphany and attained enlightenment on the spot. He made a breakthrough and took another step forward on the road to becoming an immortal.
When the people around saw this, they all showed envious expressions.
To break through and enter the next realm of cultivation in the middle of a quasi-immortal king's sermon, what an opportunity and fortune it is, which can only be encountered by chance.
After everyone shook their heads and sighed, they immediately came to their senses and continued to listen to the immortal sound of the Tao.
In the following period of time, people broke through one after another, and one creature even almost achieved enlightenment on the spot and entered the Supreme Realm.
Fortunately, he stopped and did not waste the good opportunity to merge with the Dao.
After bowing deeply to the quasi-immortal king on the stage, the creature walked away without looking back.
He wanted to carry out this important step of He Dao in his own family's territory. In this way, after the supreme calamity was passed, the blessings of heaven and earth could create a pure land to bless future generations.
Many times, when a supreme being or a true immortal emerges in a family, later generations will receive that kind of baptism and become increasingly powerful. After achieving something, they will give back to the family, forming a virtuous circle.
As for other living beings who have broken through, they have reached a certain realm, but the heavenly tribulation has been suppressed by someone with supreme magical power. The corresponding heavenly tribulation will only erupt after they leave the range of this Taoist temple.
At this moment, Wang Heng abandoned everything in the outside world. All things had nothing to do with him. In his mind, he could only hear the sound of Tao uttered by the quasi-immortal king.
He captured invisible sounds of the Tao, which formed a great river in his body, cleansing his soul, his body, and everything.
After being baptized again and again, a few wisps of almost transparent black air were actually emitted from Wang Heng's almost flawless body. The black air rushed out through the pores and dissipated between heaven and earth.
At this moment, he felt refreshed, as if he was about to ascend to heaven.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Wang Heng felt something unusual in his abdomen, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
He turned his gaze to the Supreme Soul Seed, and sure enough, this invincible ancient seed had changed.
Under the pitch-black soul seed, the only remaining part of the seed coat fell off little by little, turned into ashes, and melted into the flesh and blood.
The seed coat becomes thinner and thinner, revealing some of what's inside.
Those were roots, very active, containing terrifying spiritual power. If they broke out and took root in Wang Heng's flesh and blood, they would surely bring an extremely terrifying boost to his soul.
By then, Wang Heng would be a cultivator at the Rooting Stage.
Looking inward at his lower dantian, he felt the urgency of the supreme soul seed to break through the seed coat.
After sparring with the geniuses, Wang Heng's cultivation had been consolidated to a certain extent. Afterwards, he listened to the sermons of the quasi-immortal king, which allowed him to complete the last step. Finally, he moved forward along the path to becoming the strongest, step by step, and was about to step into the second realm of the ancient immortal law.
Just as the roots of the Supreme Soul Seed were stirring, trying to break through the last seed coat, Wang Heng sensed a dangerous aura coming from the boundless void.
"Heavenly tribulation?"
Something dawned on him.
Unlike the Age of Chaos, in the Age of Immortals, any breakthrough in cultivation in the primitive ancient world would trigger thunder punishment.
Wang Heng is about to break through and enter the Rooting Realm. With his talent and qualifications, he will naturally trigger a thunder tribulation.
At this moment, a mysterious force took action and forcibly suppressed the aura of heavenly calamity that Wang Heng sensed.
He had to wait until he walked out of this dojo before he could sense it again.
Wang Heng understood that this was the action of the quasi-immortal king, and in order not to disrupt the atmosphere of the sermon, he forcibly suppressed his divine punishment.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to break through, and listened again to the voice of the great way from the quasi-immortal king.
An unknown amount of time had passed before the quasi-immortal king's voice finally stopped. At this moment, the Taoist temple was filled with golden Taoist lotuses all over the sky, and there was also a magnificent ceiling falling from the void into the sweet spring underground.
The geniuses also woke up from their state of enlightenment. Each of them gained a lot. With the help of the perspective of the quasi-immortal king, they saw too many things that they could not see in their own realm.
Everyone was still not satisfied and wanted to listen to him for a few more days and nights.
The same was true for Wang Heng. He was thinking, if the quasi-immortal king’s preaching was already so amazing, what kind of grand scene would it be like when the immortal king preached?
I don’t know if there will be such an opportunity again in the future.
While he was deep in thought, an indescribable pressure came without warning from an endless distance, overwhelming the entire South China Sea Purple Bamboo Forest in an instant, and continued to spread to all parts of the world.
Everyone was enveloped by this pressure, their hearts were heavy, their spirits were uneasy, just like a small boat swaying in a storm.
Even Wang Mian, who was at the True Immortal level, found it difficult to bear.
"what is this?"
someone exclaimed.
The next moment, the sky darkened, and an indescribably thick branch spread across the sky and extended towards the border.
Chapter 49 Confrontation
What kind of branch is that?
It spans the sky, vigorous as a dragon, breaking through the gap between heavens effortlessly and with unstoppable force. Every leaf hanging on the branches is huge and boundless, shining with brilliance and filled with chaotic energy.
The sun was completely invisible on the land where it passed, and the entire sky and earth became dim, as if the end of the world had come.
At the same time, the creepy, suffocating pressure receded like a tide due to the appearance of branches.
The huge leaves were sprinkled with the rules of the avenue like an ocean, making the space more stable, much more solid than before.
"Branch of the World Tree!"
In the Taoist land deep in the purple bamboo forest of the South China Sea, several quasi-immortal kings appeared together. Without exception, they were all enveloped in the radiance of chaos, and their appearance and clothing could not be seen clearly. One could only see tall and majestic human-shaped bodies standing there, like pillars supporting the sky.
Several extremely powerful immortal creatures stood side by side, looking up at the branches of the World Tree that crossed the sky, their eyes revealing a solemn and worried look.
"The war has finally broken out. As expected, the foreign invaders are still determined to annex our fairyland and plunder everything. Over the past few eras, many ancient worlds have fallen into their hands." A quasi-immortal king spoke coldly with murderous intent.
“It’s not just this reason, otherwise, there would be no need to start the dialogue between the Immortal Kings at the border.
According to the Immortal King, the alien realm seems to be coming to our world to look for something important, and has put forward some conditions that are difficult to accept.
There is already hatred between the two worlds, and they are in opposing camps. This involves the grievances and grudges from the era of the emperor's fall, as well as some fundamental causes and effects. Under this circumstance, it is even more impossible for us to agree to the conditions of the foreign land.
Of course, some adults also suspected that the foreign land was pretending to look for things lost in our world, but in fact it wanted to use this to pry open the border gate, march straight in and invade fully.
If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, war is naturally inevitable.
However, starting a war between the two worlds at this time is too disadvantageous for our world. Those powerful adults are unable to spare time and cannot participate in the war. The situation is precarious. "The quasi-immortal king, who was surrounded by rich purple air, said worriedly.
He came from Zifu, an ancient force with an extremely long heritage. No matter how long time passes, Zifu remains immortal, rising from decline time and time again.
Beside him, in the soft spiritual light, an ancient monk with a serene face and golden light shone on his face, clasped his hands together and said slowly: "Donor Zi is right. I, the Lord of Mount Xumi, the Supreme Immortal Monk King, am also unable to take action because I am studying reincarnation in the world.
Now, we can only hope that the Immortal Kings who have rushed to the border and the ancestors of the border tribes can join forces to resist the attack from foreign lands."
"Where are the True Dragon, True Phoenix and the others? Why don't they take action?"
“I don’t know, the places where these supreme beings live are all forbidden places that other creatures cannot set foot in. Only adults who are also immortal kings can approach and visit.”
“It’s unlikely to expect them to take action, unless the alien world really launches a full-scale attack and the primitive ancient world is at a critical moment of life and death.
If we only attack the border, these people may just stand by and watch. After all, the border area is the ancestral land of the Shi clan, the Mu clan, the Suzaku clan, etc. These clans have immortal kings in charge. Even if the foreign lands come to kill, with these immortal king clans, they can also consume the foreign lands' living forces very well. "The Zifu Quasi-Immortal King shook his head and sighed.
After these words were spoken, all the quasi-immortal kings present were silent.
If it were them, their first reaction when they knew about a big battle at the border would be to wait and see what happens, and let the creatures in the border area resist the enemy's first wave of attack. They would only take action when their forces were almost exhausted or the enemy was breached and they had no choice but to do so.
After all, it was not their own land that was attacked.
Although they were in the same realm, their relationship was not good enough to the point where they were willing to take the risk of dying to provide support.
The Immortal King who went to the border for support this time might be the Immortal King who has a karmic relationship with the ancestor of the border tribe. They had formed a cause in the past, and taking action now is equivalent to repaying the result.
It should be noted that the cause and effect between Immortal Kings is a very important oath to the Immortal King himself. If it is not repaid, it will have a huge impact on future practice, one's state of mind, etc. Therefore, creatures at the Immortal King level attach great importance to the cause and effect they owe.
“Isn’t it like this before?
Since the beginning of this era, there have been constant frictions between the border tribes and foreign lands, and the war has been intermittent and has never really stopped. At the worst time, even the strong passes located on the border were breached, and all the living creatures in the city, including the nearby tribes, were massacred.
Fortunately, the border tribes became more and more courageous after setbacks. Under the leadership of their ancestors, they recovered the lost territory and tenaciously resisted the foreign attacks.
Logically speaking, the major forces in other worlds should send forces to the border to resist foreign invasion together, but over the years, no force has done so, and they all take it for granted that the border tribes can resist foreign invasions.
Haha, if you continue like this, I think something bad will happen sooner or later, and by then, it will be too late to regret." A quasi-immortal king standing at the edge sneered, his words were full of sarcasm.
"Fellow Daoist, you've gone too far. The border is the ancestral land of those tribes. If we send forces to the border, wouldn't that be an offense? People who don't know would think we are extending our hands there." The quasi-immortal king who had remained silent on the other side suddenly retorted, for no other reason than that the force he belonged to was one of the ones being ridiculed by the other party.
"Ask yourself, is this really the case?" The quasi-immortal king who spoke earlier stared over and asked in return.
"What does fellow Taoist mean?"
"You should know what that means."
"How dare you speak so recklessly? Do you think no one can restrain you?" In the chaotic mist, the quasi-immortal king was enraged, and an incomparably terrifying aura emanated from his body.
"Do you want to fight me?"
The two quasi-immortal kings confronted each other and refused to give in. The terrifying immortal energy ravaged the earth and the void, and even the extremely thick purple bamboo forest was shaking and almost broke.
Fortunately, the quasi-immortal king nearby took action in time and suppressed the explosive power of the two creatures, so that no one in the purple bamboo forest was affected.
At this time, a beautiful fairy came over, smiling and trying to persuade them.
She is the owner of the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea, the Immortal Hua Yun. She is acquainted with many Immortal Kings and her identity is not simple.
When they saw her appear and speak, the two quasi-immortal kings dispersed their pressure, looked at each other, and snorted coldly.
……
In the Taoist temple, all the geniuses were extraordinary people. Naturally, they noticed the confrontation between the quasi-immortal kings, and everyone smelled something unusual.
Chapter 50 Before the Storm
Wang Heng watched all this calmly. He was not at all surprised by the infighting among the Quasi-Immortal Kings.
The atmosphere for cultivation within the ancient world is indeed very good, with the style and atmosphere of immortal cultivators, but there are also many contradictions and undercurrents.
Take the Immortal King for example, creatures of this level are not as united as imagined, otherwise they would not have been defeated one by one by foreign countries in later generations.
The confrontation between the quasi-immortal kings that occurred in the Taoist land of Zizhulin in the South China Sea today verified this point.
"Senior, does the dispatch of the World Tree Branch mean anything? Its duty is to sit in the center of the Ancient World and stabilize the mountains and rivers. Under normal circumstances, it will not take action, right?"
Wang Heng suddenly looked at Wang Mian and asked.
“Yes, unless something serious happens, the World Tree will not easily take any action.
