Chapter 3897 The Palace of Eternal Life

"Fellow Daoist Lu, it's been a long time since we last met!"

"Fellow Daoist Qi Xuan!"

When Lu Changge saw the person who had arrived, his expression faltered slightly, and his words unconsciously carried a hint of awe.

Not long after returning from Nanyuan Daozhou, this person went into seclusion.

Now that he has emerged from seclusion, although Lu Changge could not see any changes, he could understand that this person's strength had probably become even more unfathomable.

Shen Changqing smiled faintly: "The original agreement was that you would stay in the sect for a million years. Now, the time has exceeded that. However, I was in seclusion at a critical juncture, so I was unable to come out and meet you."

Now that I have emerged from seclusion, I would like to ask you again, fellow Daoist, if you would be willing to stay?

"If you wish, fellow Daoist, you may become an elder of the Offering Hall. Many of the sect's inheritances will be open to you for your study and comprehension."

Upon hearing this...

Lu Changge fell into deep thought.

Looking at the other party's expression, Shen Changqing continued, "Back then, when we destroyed the Tianlan Sword Pavilion, our sect inherited its profound heritage."

It includes not only the level of a semi-saint, but also the path to sainthood.

The Path of the Sage!

Upon hearing those four words, Lu Changge's expression visibly changed.

Shen Changqing seemed not to have seen it, and then said, "Fellow Daoist, to have reached this level as a rogue cultivator is truly remarkable."

However, the path to the Half-Saint Realm is a series of advancements, and without sufficient cultivation resources and inheritance, the difficulty of truly reaching the Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint Realm, or even the Saint Realm, is something that fellow cultivators are well aware of.

Although our Seven Mysteries Dao Sect has not been established for long, its foundation is not weak.

"If you stay, fellow cultivator, the abundant cultivation resources will surely provide you with the opportunity to advance further!"

Upon hearing this...

Lu Changge's expression changed several times before he took a deep breath and made his decision.

He bowed respectfully to Shen Changqing and said in a deep voice, "This humble Taoist, Lu Changge, greets the Sect Master!"

See here.

Shen Changqing immediately smiled broadly: "Good, good, good. With fellow Daoist joining our Seven Profound Dao Sect, it is like adding wings to a tiger."

From this day forward, fellow Daoist will be an elder of the Hall of Offerings of my Seven Profound Dao Sect, and will receive the same treatment as other half-saint elders.

If you have any other needs, please feel free to ask!

“I understand.”

Lu Changge's expression returned to calm, but his words were now more relaxed.

"Speaking of which, I need a few apprentices to help me with my alchemy, so I'd like to select some suitable candidates from within the sect."

"This matter is simple. Fellow Daoist, you can choose any of the disciples from the Twelve Peaks."

Shen Changqing readily agreed; these were minor matters, so how could he refuse?

Moreover.

Being able to stay by Lu Changge's side would be a great opportunity for other disciples.

After all, this person is not only a half-saint realm expert, but also an eighth-rank, third-grade alchemy grandmaster. Although he is called a child, as long as one can get even a little guidance from him, it would be an unparalleled blessing.

Shen Changqing would never refuse such a good thing.

even.

If Lu Changge hadn't spoken first, he would have wanted to find an excuse to send a few disciples with good aptitude to the other side.

Putting aside everything else, if one could receive guidance from Lu Changge and become a seventh-tier grandmaster in the future, that would be quite good.

……

After Shen Changqing left, Lu Changge exhaled a breath of stale air and shook his head slightly.

"In the end, I will have to give up this identity as a rogue cultivator!"

His decision to stay at the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect was made after careful consideration.

The great calamity is now escalating and is no longer limited to Nanyuan Daozhou.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult for independent cultivators.

and.

Just as Shen Changqing said.

Every breakthrough for a semi-saint is hard-won.

Having a powerful force backing you makes things much easier.

Moreover.

Over the course of millions of years, Lu Changge has developed a good impression of the Seven Profound Dao Sect. In addition, the strength and foundation of this force are quite impressive, so staying here might not be a bad thing.

and so.

After Shen Changqing persuaded her, Lu Changge considered it for a while and finally agreed.

He felt a sense of relief after making the decision.

Looking at the immortal abode before him, Lu Changge felt a strange sense of familiarity that he hadn't felt before.

After years of wandering.

Now we've finally settled down.

the other side.

Shen Changqing also summoned the sect's high-ranking members to announce that Lu Changge had joined the sect as an elder of the Offering Hall.

Upon learning of this, everyone in the sect was overjoyed.

Over the past million years, many cultivators from the Twelve Peaks have truly tasted the benefits.

The benefits brought by an eighth-rank, third-grade alchemy grandmaster are hard to refuse.

Many rare elixirs can be refined by them.

In the past, many top-tier elixirs were difficult to refine. Even if one collected the corresponding elixirs, one could not find a suitable grandmaster of alchemy to refine the elixirs for oneself.

Although Shen Changqing was also an eighth-level Grandmaster, that sect leader spent most of his time in seclusion, so it was undoubtedly a pipe dream to ask him to refine pills.

But now that Lu Changge is here, things are completely different.

Although this alchemy practice wasn't without its costs and rewards, it at least provided another avenue for advancement.

Furthermore...

Since the other party entered the Hall of Worship, rather than any of the twelve peaks, it did not affect their own interests, and they had no reason to refuse.

Then.

Shen Changqing changed the subject and said, "When I wiped out the Tianlan Sword Pavilion, I found 123 Longevity Immortal Steles."

Now, all the Longevity Stele has been placed by me in the Longevity Hall of Cangyun Peak.

Any cultivator who breaks through to the Immortal Emperor realm can enter the Hall of Longevity once. After that, they will have another chance to enter the Hall of Longevity for each small breakthrough in the Immortal Emperor realm.

Furthermore, if one accumulates sufficient merit, one may also have the opportunity to enter the Hall of Longevity to comprehend the Great Dao.

"If one is at the semi-saint level, one can enter the Longevity Palace once every hundred million years. Regardless of one's cultivation level, one can meditate for a million years each time in the Longevity Palace!"

Shen Changqing spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators present changed their expressions, their eyes revealing a burning desire.

The Palace of Eternal Life!

One hundred and twenty-three immortal steles!

This was an unparalleled opportunity for them.

According to Shen Changqing, as long as one is an ancient immortal of a sect, one can enter the Hall of Longevity once after breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Those who subsequently reach the middle stage of Immortal Emperor, the later stage of Immortal Emperor, or even the peak of Immortal Emperor can also enter it to comprehend the Great Dao of Immortal Life.

A million years may not seem like a long time, but it is definitely not short either.

Not to mention.

After reaching the Half-Saint Realm, each Immortal King Era grants a guaranteed opportunity to enter the Hall of Longevity.

The benefits to oneself from being able to glimpse other ancient paths to immortality are self-evident.

Even the semi-saint powerhouses like Duan Changsheng and Lu Changge showed emotional fluctuations upon hearing these words.

at this time.

Yang Daoxu asked, "May I ask the sect leader, what about cultivators who have already reached the Immortal Emperor realm?"

Upon hearing this...

The other cultivators who had entered the Immortal Emperor realm all looked much more serious.

Shen Changqing said, "Any cultivator at the Immortal Emperor level, if they are at the initial stage of Immortal Emperor, will have the qualification to enter the Hall of Longevity once. Similarly, if they are at the peak of Immortal Emperor, they will have the qualification to enter the Hall of Longevity four times."

"Our sect leader is wise!"

The cultivators were all overjoyed.

In other words, any cultivator present who has reached the Immortal Emperor realm can go to the Hall of Longevity to comprehend that supreme inheritance, which is naturally good news.

Then.

Shen Changqing listened to the reports from the peak masters about the events of the past few days, and then made some arrangements and deployments.

A million years is not a long time, at least not for the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect.

During this period, not much happened at the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect.

After all, destroying the Tianlan Sword Pavilion would provide enough cultivation resources for the Seven Profound Dao Sect to use for a considerable period of time.

Millions of years have passed, and the resources used are only the tip of the iceberg.

In addition, given the current grim situation in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, the peak masters of each peak do not want to cause too much trouble, so they mainly focus on cultivating in a low-key manner.

……

Cangyun Immortal Mansion.

Ancient trees sway.

"Your honor!"

"Ah."

Shen Changqing nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the ancient tree in front of him.

Many years have passed, but the Bodhi Ancient Tree has not changed much. The other party is still at the peak of the ninth level. Although there has been a slight improvement in aura, the improvement is negligible.

Immortal roots grant long lifespans, but advancement is equally difficult.

Compared to other cultivators of the same level, each breakthrough in one's immortal root requires a long period of accumulation.

The Bodhi tree has only existed for less than ten million years, so there is naturally no possibility of it advancing any further.

Just then.

Two streaks of light, one white and one colorful, streaked through the air, followed by the figures of two cranes.

The visitors were none other than the two cranes, Qingyu and Caiyun.

Both cranes have now broken through the barrier of the Immortal King Realm and reached the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Such strength is considered quite formidable even within the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Upon seeing Shen Changqing, Qingyu let out a low cry, its eyes filled with awe and affection, as did Caiyun beside it.

"You've arrived just in time. Breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, it seems you haven't slacked off in your cultivation these past years!"

Shen Changqing smiled calmly.

Then.

Then he flicked his finger, and two immortal pills shot out as streams of light. The two cranes opened their mouths and swallowed the pills directly.

next interest.

Both cranes had significantly increased their aura; although they hadn't broken through to the mid-stage of the Ancient Immortal realm, they were still considerably stronger.

To know.

The elixir that Shen Changqing fed him was not an ordinary elixir, but one at the level of an Immortal Emperor.

The energy contained in elixirs of this level is so immense that ordinary ancient immortals would find it difficult to withstand, let alone refine.

It was only because the two celestial beasts possessed naturally strong physiques that they were able to withstand the power of such celestial pills.

Looking at the two celestial beasts, Shen Changqing waved his hand.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may all leave!"

Upon hearing this...

Qingyu let out a long cry, then spread its wings and flew away. Caiyun also let out a cry and followed closely behind.

In no time at all, the two cranes had disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Shen Changqing smiled even more.

He had raised the two cranes for many years, and although their bloodline and aptitude were average, he had developed feelings for them.

That's why Shen Changqing didn't mind training him.

Without going into too much detail, if he were to break through to the Immortal Emperor level in the future, that would be quite impressive.

of course.

It's not easy for celestial beasts to break through to the Celestial Emperor realm, especially since the two cranes have ordinary aptitudes. However, given the sect's current resources, forcibly pushing them to the Celestial Emperor level is not a difficult task for Shen Changqing. (End of Chapter)
