Chapter 559: Chapter 530: Changes Brought by Immortal Qi
"Thirty thousand years!"
Gu Qingyang thought of what Taichu had said, his eyes becoming exceptionally grave.
Now, to solve this problem, there are only two solutions. The first is to destroy the newly formed Immortal Vein, in which case the path to the Upper Realm will naturally close.
The second.
Is for the starry sky to possess power comparable to the Upper Realm within thirty thousand years.
Other than that.
There is no third way.
The first solution lingered in Gu Qingyang’s mind for barely a moment before he dismissed it outright.
Destroying the newly formed Immortal Vein is akin to drinking poison to quench thirst; it would completely sever the future of the starry sky and his own path ahead.
Therefore.
In Gu Qingyang’s view, the so-called two solutions are actually only one solution.
That is, in the next thirty thousand years, the starry sky must enhance its power comprehensively to face the upcoming great calamity.
"The Great Dao has fifty, and Heaven manifests through forty-nine. I am the glimmer of hope for the starry sky..."
Gu Qingyang recalled his conversation with Taichu, realizing that there exists a Supreme Treasure within the starry sky, which could allow Unity Realm experts to advance further.
But according to Taichu, no one had acquired that Supreme Treasure.
With that thought.
Gu Qingyang understood.
The key to breaking through the situation likely lies in that Supreme Treasure.
After all, anything that even Unity Realm experts yearn for is undoubtedly enormously powerful.
Taking a deep breath.
Gu Qingyang retracted his gaze from the Path to Immortality.
The great calamity restarts.
The starry sky has only thirty thousand years.
"Let’s see who will dominate in thirty thousand years!"
Gu Qingyang’s eyes were resolute. Thinking of the impending great calamity, he felt no fear, only a long-lost battle spirit.
Thirty thousand years may not seem long, yet neither is it short.
Gu Qingyang had been in this world for, at most, about a hundred years.
In just around a hundred years, he had already reached the ninth stage in full completion and cultivated the Cyan Yang Divine Court to its current state. If given thirty thousand years, it might not be impossible to rival the Upper Realm.
Conversely speaking.
Even without the Supreme Treasure, Gu Qingyang believed that in thirty thousand years, the starry sky would not be without hope against the Upper Realm.
Currently.
The Cyan Yang Divine Realm is undergoing significant changes.
The condensation of the Immortal Vein.
Brought a profound aura to the entire Cyan Yang Divine Realm. When cultivators breathed the air, they discovered that Spiritual Qi mixed with Immortal Qi flooded into their bodies, causing subtle changes within their physiques.
With a thought, Gu Qingyang found a mysterious gas swirling at his fingertips. This strand of gas was weak, like a thin wisp, but its quality was a hundred times stronger than Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Gu Qingyang manipulated Immortal Qi to clash with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and despite being a hundredfold stronger, the Spiritual Qi was effortlessly defeated by the Immortal Qi.
The two forces.
Are simply not on the same level.
"No wonder, in the presence of a true Immortal, even a Quasi-Immortal is nothing more than an ant. An Immortal Body formed from such Immortal Qi naturally crushes ordinary constitutions.
The trained Immortal Power completely surpasses Spiritual Power.
Now, with Immortal Qi emerging in the Cyan Yang Divine Realm, cultivators who have not reached full completion in the ninth stage may not form Immortal Bodies directly from Immortal Qi, but even breathing can passively absorb Immortal Qi, nurturing their bodies.
In this way, the aptitude and potential of all cultivators in the Cyan Yang Divine Realm are subtly transforming.
If this continues, the cultivators of the Cyan Yang Divine Realm are destined to become much stronger than those of the same tier!"
Before witnessing Immortal Qi, Gu Qingyang could not truly understand its power.
Until now.
Seeing the appearance of Immortal Qi with his own eyes, Gu Qingyang realized that living in an environment with Immortal Qi is fundamentally different from one without.
Those born and nurtured by Immortal Qi naturally develop stronger physiques than those without, and even the quality of their cultivated Spiritual Power increases.
A simple analogy is the difference between ordinary mortal bodies and special constitutions.
Cultivators in an Immortal Qi environment are akin to being born with special constitutions, inherently stronger than mortal bodies.
"The Three Thousand Cosmos in the Upper Realm, rich in Immortal Qi, means all cultivators born there have naturally powerful Divine Bodies and Saint Bodies. No wonder the starry sky is no match for the Upper Realm.
The disparity is not only at the highest levels but also significant among ordinary cultivators!"
Gu Qingyang’s expression was solemn.
The starry sky of the Lower Realm is innately weaker than Upper Realm cultivators.
In other words.
The starting points of the two are not on the same plane.
In the Lower Realm, cultivators with special constitutions are as rare as phoenix feathers, whereas in the Upper Realm, such beings are common, marking the greatest difference.
Cultivators born with special constitutions only grow stronger when refined by Immortal Qi.
However, these are things of the past.
Now that the Cyan Yang Divine Realm has an Immortal Vein, there is hope in catching up with the Upper Realm in innate conditions.
Over thirty thousand years, subtle changes mean all cultivators in the Cyan Yang Divine Realm will undergo significant transformations.
However.
Gu Qingyang currently has no way to nurture Immortal Qi throughout the entire starry sky.
After all, the Immortal Vein he has aggregated is merely the most basic kind.
Such an Immortal Vein can sustain only one Cyan Yang Divine Realm, and it’s improbable for it to someday saturate with Immortal Qi that spills over to bless the whole starry sky.
Of course.
As always, this situation is temporary.
Since Gu Qingyang can condense the first Immortal Vein now, eventually, he will be able to accumulate the second and third.
When that day comes, it’s not impossible for Immortal Veins to spread throughout the starry sky, matching the cultivation environment of the Upper Realm.
That said.
Reaching such a point requires time and gradual accumulation.
"One Immortal Vein costs a billion Heavenly Dao Origins; absorbing and assimilating other worlds is too slow. The key is to unearth other Ancient Immortals, as the Heavenly Dao Origins within them are the real treasure troves!"
Gu Qingyang mused.
The Star Divine Generals of the Nine Heavens Immortal Court can each contribute about six hundred thousand Heavenly Dao Origins; the contribution from a dozen such generals can directly consolidate an Immortal Vein.
Upper Realm True Immortals like Demon Venerable Xuan Yin can alone contribute several million Heavenly Dao Origins.
Therefore.
The quickest way to condense Immortal Veins is to continuously search for traces of Ancient Immortals.
Ideally, one could subjugate several Ancient Immortals or have them surrender their Immortal Scriptures before their end.
"The search scope for Ancient Immortals must expand, and meanwhile, the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s conquest of the starry sky must not cease. Within a hundred years, I will make sure there’s only one voice in the starry sky, the voice of the Cyan Yang Divine Court!"
