Chapter 179: The Holy Body, the Vast Sea of Immortality
Lai Yang entered the Xuanming Tower and devoted himself to cultivation with full concentration.
He did not use the power of luck to break through the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, but used it to comprehend the laws of time and sword.
After all, as long as the physical body is strong enough, even if the fairyland cultivation level is lower, it can be easily cultivated.
He has witnessed the horror of the power of the law several times. With only a small understanding of the power of the law of time, he can easily kill the Zerg powerhouses of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm with his cultivation in the Golden Immortal Realm.
What if he mastered the complete laws of time, or even the Avenue of Time? How terrifying it would be.
Furthermore, the law of time can also infinitely accelerate one's own cultivation speed. Of course, the prerequisite is that one has sufficient cultivation resources and a strong state of mind that is comparable to one's realm.
While Lai Yang was comprehending the laws of time in the Xuanming Tower, Shen Lingchuan was also working hard to rebuild his home outside the Xuanming Tower.
He brought the human race from Xuanming Cave Heaven out and asked them to teach others how to farm, read, and do simple exercises to strengthen their bodies.
Shen Lingchuan re-established the Xuanming Sect, which had been completely destroyed, and selected some talented immortal seedlings to personally teach and enlighten them, and imparted to them the cultivation techniques.
Unfortunately, the Xuanming Realm, which had been ravaged by the Zerg, had become so devastated that the spiritual energy had become extremely thin, and resources for cultivation were extremely scarce.
Therefore, even with the personal instruction of Shen Lingchuan, a powerful Taiyi Golden Immortal of the human race, their cultivation speed seemed quite slow.
Shen Lingchuan was not discouraged. The Xuanming Realm was in a state of disrepair and these new disciples of the Xuanming Sect were the hope for the future of the Xuanming Realm.
When they become stronger, Shen Lingchuan will find a way to send them out of the Xuanming Realm and train with forces in other planes.
In the end, he believed that if people had it, they would also have the resources for cultivation.
Before anyone knew it, eleven years had passed in the Xuanming Realm and four thousand years had passed in the tower.
Sensing that the power of Xuanming Tower was gradually weakening, Lai Yang slowly opened his eyes.
Those dark pupils seemed to contain an endless river of time, deep and mysterious.
At the same time, the aura emanating from Lai Yang became increasingly powerful.
Although he failed to break through the Taiyi Golden Fairyland, if he encountered the Zerg Daluo's clone again, he was confident that he could kill it with one sword with his fairyland cultivation without losing his lifespan.
Four thousand years later, Lai Yang's physical body became a saint and he broke through to the first level of quasi-saint realm.
He even felt that his current strength was enough to shatter the void and explode thousands of stars with one punch.
"Is this the power of a quasi-saint body? Even I feel scared." Lai Yang clenched his fists and muttered.
Apart from the improvement in his physical strength, his spiritual improvement is the most significant.
After four thousand years of sedimentation and accumulation, Lai Yang's spiritual power has already entered the fourth level of the quasi-saint realm!
The cultivation level of the Golden Immortal Realm, and the body and spirit of the Quasi-Saint Realm.
Lai Yang couldn't help but feel that he was incredibly strong now!
It’s a pity that he only comprehended the law of time, but not the complete avenue of time, otherwise his body and spirit would be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm in minutes.
The difficulty of comprehending the avenue of time is countless times more difficult than comprehending the laws of time.
The strong ones who can master the power of the Great Dao are all supreme immortal emperors.
The more Lai Yang's understanding of the laws of time deepened, the more he felt the extraordinary nature of the Xuanming Tower.
What kind of strong person can refine such a powerful treasure? The first owner of Xuanming Tower must be at least at the level of Immortal Emperor.
If there was a being at the Immortal Emperor level, how could the Xuanming Tower fall into the Xuanming Realm and fall into the hands of the Xuanming Sect.
If that Immortal Emperor was a member of the Xuanming Sect, how could the Xuanming Realm be invaded by the Zerg, and eventually only a Taiyi Golden Immortal be left alive? It is simply unbelievable.
Lai Yang thought about it, then shook his head and threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind.
Without knowing the cause and process of the incident, he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so why should he worry about it?
It would be better to go out and ask Shen Lingchuan directly, maybe he will know.
As soon as he thought of this, Lai Yang flashed away from the Xuanming Tower and appeared in the outside world.
After coming out, he did not see Shen Lingchuan the first time, and Lai Yang's consciousness subconsciously swept the entire Xuanming Realm, looking for Shen Lingchuan's trace.
Not long after, Lai Yang found Shen Lingchuan in a field, and he was stunned.
Wow, he is a Taiyi Golden Immortal and he is actually working in the fields himself. He is so down-to-earth.
After ten years of development, the name of Spider Emperor City was changed to Xuanming City. Two towering stone statues were erected in the square in the city, with the images of Lai Yang and Shen Lingchuan carved respectively. The whole city became more and more presentable.
He saw that although tens of millions of humans had a hard life, they were all trying hard to survive.
Lai Yang's figure flashed, and he appeared not far from Shen Lingchuan, looking at him, and quietly released a breath.
Shen Lingchuan was slightly startled, and when he sensed the familiar breath, he subconsciously raised his head, just in time to meet Lai Yang's deep gaze.
"Friend Lai, your retreat is over."
"Yeah." Lai Yang nodded, "Fellow Daoist Shen, what are you doing?"
“As you can see, I’m trying to cultivate spiritual herbs, but unfortunately the spiritual veins of the Xuanming Realm have been destroyed by the Zerg.” Shen Lingchuan looked at the motionless spiritual herbs in the spiritual field, a hint of loss and regret in his eyes.
"Spiritual vein?"
Lai Yang hesitated for a moment, then took out the spiritual vein he had dug out from the Floating Life River and Mountain Map. The power in the spiritual vein had not yet completely dissipated.
"Is this what you are talking about? Can this be used?" Lai Yang asked.
Shen Lingchuan looked up at the spiritual vein in Lai Yang's hand, his eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded: "Although it is only the lowest level spiritual vein, and most of the spiritual energy has been consumed, it can be used. Daoist friend, do you want to give it to me?"
"If you need it, just take it."
"Thank you very much."
Shen Lingchuan reached out to take the spiritual vein, and then buried it under the spiritual field.
In an instant, he could sense that the spiritual energy here became slightly richer.
Even if the effect of the spiritual vein is minimal, it is still a good start.
"Fellow Daoist, what was your harvest this time?"
"Well, not bad, my strength has improved a bit."
"Congratulations, fellow Taoist."
“Fellow Daoist Shen, there is one thing I don’t understand. Please help me solve it.” Lai Yang asked.
"Just say it." Shen Lingchuan said lightly.
"It's about the Xuanming Pagoda. Given the extraordinary nature of the Xuanming Pagoda, the person who refined it must have been extremely powerful. If that were the case, how could the Xuanming Realm be invaded and destroyed by the Zerg and fall into this state?"
Hearing this, Shen Lingchuan's expression froze, as if he remembered something bad, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
Seeing that Shen Lingchuan's expression was not right, as if he had hit a sore spot, Lai Yang immediately said, "Sorry, I was abrupt. If Fellow Daoist Shen doesn't want to say it, just pretend I didn't ask. I was just curious."
Shen Lingchuan hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "The Xuanming Sect has already been destroyed, so there is nothing that cannot be said."
"This is a secret of my Xuanming Sect. I have only heard about it and do not know the details. I will just talk about it casually and you can just listen to it casually."
"This matter can be traced back to ancient times. The first owner of the Xuanming Tower was named Xuanming Patriarch, the founder of our Xuanming Sect."
"In ancient times, our Xuanming Realm was also extremely glorious, with countless amazing geniuses emerging, which was extremely exciting."
"Later, in order to compete for the opportunity to become an emperor, the top masters of the Xuanming Realm began to fight each other. The blood of countless immortals was spilled all over the Xuanming Realm. Among them, there were many powerful people in the quasi-saint realm who had lived for several epochs. The founder of my Xuanming Sect was one of them."
"In order to break through to the Immortal Emperor, the ancestor of my Xuanming Sect refined the Xuanming Tower and used the Xuanming Tower as a medium to carry the heart of the Xuanming Realm. He almost emptied the foundation of the Xuanming Realm in exchange for supreme fortune, and finally successfully achieved the Emperor Fruit and left the Xuanming Realm."
“The Xuanming Tower is tied to the fate of the Xuanming Realm. Without the Xuanming Realm treasure, its power will be greatly reduced. It is useless to the Xuanming Patriarch who has already become an emperor, so it was left in the Xuanming Sect.”
"Since then, the Xuanming Realm has never produced a quasi-saint-level expert. Anyone from other forces who has some talent and ability has chosen to leave the Xuanming Realm and seek other opportunities."
"If this continues, the Xuanming Realm will decline."
"Not long after all the Golden Immortals left, the Zerg invaded here, and this is what you see now."
After listening to Shen Lingchuan's statement, Lai Yang didn't know what to say for a moment.
Is Xuanming Patriarch wrong? He is not wrong.
In order to become an emperor, one must use any means necessary. This behavior is very normal in the world of immortal cultivation.
If there was an opportunity to become an emperor, he believed that most people would do so.
Some inhumane ones would even go so far as to massacre the entire Xuanming Realm in order to sacrifice themselves to achieve the supreme destiny and become the Immortal Emperor.
For many people, nothing is more important than becoming stronger. Even if friends, lovers, or relatives stand in their way, they can be killed!
There are countless people who were just and kind-hearted at the beginning but had their original intentions distorted during the practice.
Even Lai Yang himself, by now his hands are stained with the blood of countless lives.
In other words, he is a wall-hanger with a system. He can solve most of the problems with his absolute power and does not have to worry about being plotted against. Otherwise, it is hard to say what will become of him.
"After becoming emperor, did the founder of your Xuanming Sect never come back?" Lai Yang couldn't help but ask.
Shen Lingchuan shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Perhaps for the first generation ancestor, the Xuanming Sect is not important at all. Our Xuanming Sect is just a stepping stone on his road to becoming an emperor."
"Of course, all of this is just hearsay from me. As for whether it is true or not, there is no way to verify it." Shen Ling changed the subject and said lightly, "Even if it is true that the Xuanming Patriarch abandoned us, I have nothing to say. Isn't this the cruelty of the immortal world? But you, my fellow Taoist, surprised me when I saw you for the first time."
"Hmm? Accident?" Lai Yang was slightly startled, his eyes slightly focused, "Where did Fellow Daoist Shen get this from?"
"I don't know how many years it has been since I saw an immortal who was willing to risk his life for the human race that has nothing to do with him."
"The first time I saw you, I felt that you had a different temperament from other immortals."
"Compared to the immortality of the immortals, you have more of a human nature."
"I can't say whether I am good or bad. People like you are very likely to suffer losses in the fairy world, because the more human nature you have, the more weaknesses you have. But it may not be all bad."
Hearing this, Lai Yang couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He could roughly understand what Shen Lingchuan meant.
"In that case, fellow Daoist did help me." Lai Yang said calmly, "Besides, I didn't risk my life for an unrelated person at the beginning. I just had a reason to do so."
Shen Lingchuan smiled but said nothing.
Lai Yang was a little helpless. He really hadn't thought about saving anyone.
“Sometimes, a person’s actions can tell more about the problem, and thoughts can deceive the heart.” Shen Lingchuan blurted out meaningfully.
Afterwards, Shen Lingchuan patted the dust off his body and said, “Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. What are your plans next, fellow Taoist?”
"I haven't thought about it yet." Lai Yang shook his head.
"If you plan to leave Xuanming Realm and go to other planes, perhaps I can help you, but I also have a condition that I hope you can agree to."
"Tell me about it."
"You have seen the current situation in the Xuanming Realm. I still need to stay in the Xuanming Realm. If you want to leave the Xuanming Realm, if you are willing to come back one day, please find some spiritual veins for me in the Xuanming Realm. I will be very grateful."
"I thought it was something else. I'll remember this. If I have the chance, I will bring back the spiritual vein for the Xuanming Realm."
Lai Yang remembered the other party's kindness in letting him use the Xuanming Tower. If Shen Lingchuan had not been willing to lend him the Xuanming Tower and consumed a large amount of resources, he would not have been able to break through to the realm of physical sainthood so quickly.
Lai Yang understood that Shen Lingchuan was trying to please him and wanted him to help rebuild the Xuanming Realm. It was almost impossible for him, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, to support the Xuanming Realm.
But so what? You two are not related at all. It is a great favor for others to help you. Favors must always be repaid.
Things like favors mainly depend on the person.
If Lai Yang is a selfish person, then Shen Lingchuan's actions are destined to be like a meat bun hitting a dog, which will never come back. For him, it is a gamble.
There are too many people who say one thing and say another, and never deliver on their promises.
"I would like to thank you first." Shen Lingchuan showed a knowing smile on his face.
"When I bring back the spiritual vein someday, you can thank me later." Lai Yang waved his hand and said in a clear voice, "In that case, I will not stay in the Xuanming Realm any longer. Please send me off, fellow Taoist."
Suddenly, Lai Yang seemed to have thought of something and added, "If someone from the Questioning Immortal Continent ascends to the Mysterious Underworld someday, I hope you can take care of them for me."
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I will have people pay more attention." Shen Lingchuan nodded, "Follow me, fellow Daoist."
Lai Yang followed Shen Lingchuan away and came to a broken ruin. Shen Lingchuan waved his hand to move the broken pieces of the ruins away.
"This is the old site of my Xuanming Sect. The way to other planes is here."
Shen Lingchuan flipped his hand and took out a refined space coordinate and handed it to Lai Yang.
"This item is the spatial coordinates of the Xuanming Realm. Please keep it safe and don't let others know about it. When you are ready to come back one day, you can use this item to open the spatial channel back to the Xuanming Realm and won't get lost in the countless planes."
"I see. Then I'll take it."
Lai Yang nodded, grabbed the space coordinates in Shen Lingchuan’s hand, and refined them in an instant.
In an instant, Lai Yang felt as if he had a vague connection with the Xuanming Realm.
"My friend, are you ready? I will open the plane channel to send you away."
As he spoke, the Xuanming Tower emerged from Shen Lingchuan's hand, emitting a mysterious power, communicating with the plane formation of the Xuanming Sect.
After a while, a huge dimensional portal appeared in front of Lai Yang. The center of the portal was like an endless vortex, trying to suck everything in.
"The passage to the Vast Sea Immortal Realm has been successfully opened. The power of the Mysterious Nether Tower cannot be maintained for long."
"Friend Shen, we'll meet again later."
"Friend Lai, please take care of yourself. I will be waiting for you in the Xuanming Realm. Please don't forget the agreement between us."
"Um!"
