All the heavens, starting from the Great World of Xuanhuang

Chapter 14 The Tribulation of Linglong, Advancing to Divine Power

"This book is indeed excellent. After reading it, one immediately gains a concrete understanding of many forces and figures!"

After briefly reviewing the information about the Nine Immortal Sects in the various worlds, Xu Yan sighed.

This information is undoubtedly collected, summarized, and updated by dedicated disciples.

The "Nine Gates of Immortal Path" section records simple information about many legendary predecessors, contemporary giants, and new generation disciples of the Nine Gates of Immortal Path, including their realms, treasures, supernatural powers, battle records, etc., all clearly presented at a glance.

Even though this information is somewhat one-sided, it is still very valuable.

Xu Yan has decided that he must study this book carefully in his spare time from practicing martial arts.

With this book broadening his horizons, this self-taught cultivator was no longer blind.

After briefly reading the information about the Nine Immortal Sects, he then looked at the World Dynasty section.

This contains all the information he urgently needs.

The Feathered Gate only occupies a corner of the Xuanhuang Continent, but even so, it has dozens of dynasties under its jurisdiction.

These dynasties varied in size, with the smallest having only tens of millions of people.

Large dynasties like the Great Yan, Great Jin, and Great Cheng ranked among the top of the dozens of dynasties, with populations in the billions.

"The Great Yan Dynasty is way too far away from the Great Xuan Empire!"

Xu Yan looked at the map, did some calculations in his mind, and shook his head.

The Great Yan Dynasty and the Great Xuan Empire are separated by hundreds of dynasties and are far apart. Even traveling on horseback, it is unknown how many years or months it would take to reach each other.

This is without even considering the numerous risks along the way.

For those who are not cultivators of supernatural powers and secret realms, crossing countless mountains and rivers to reach the Great Xuan Empire is a matter of life and death, or even a matter of life and death.

No wonder, very few people cross the boundaries of the major immortal sects to seek refuge with other sects.

If a cultivator in the Body Refinement Realm delays their progress by even a few years, they will be left behind by their peers.

They would have neither the inclination nor the ability to choose another sect.

In addition to land transportation, there are also air transportation, mainly consisting of cranes and other auspicious birds.

To use these flying vehicles, one must undergo rigorous vetting and approval processes.

Without a certain status and financial resources, it would be impossible to rent such a divine bird.

After all, ordinary dynasties simply couldn't afford to raise such spirit birds; they all relied on disciples of the Feathered Immortal Sect to raise them.

This is equivalent to the Feathered Gate sending some spirit birds to the lower dynasties to serve a special class.

Without legal status, even with money, it's difficult to enjoy these conveniences.

Before Xu Yan leaves, he must first wipe out the Yong'an Prince's Mansion and then borrow the spirit bird. Isn't that just asking for trouble?

This option is not feasible at the moment.

"Joining a sect is impossible. I'll remain a rogue cultivator for life; there's no way I'll ever join a sect."

"The previous plan needs to be revised. We can only go to the Great Xuan Empire after advancing to the Divine Power Realm!"

Xu Yan shook his head and closed the portal to the myriad worlds.

He had never really been interested in the Feathered Gate.

Previously, I planned to understand the current timeline and confirm Fang Han's information before heading to other countries to make further plans.

There are still more than three thousand years until Fang Han is born, and he has a high degree of freedom.

Not long ago, after learning that Linglong Immortal Venerable was still in the Taiyi Sect, he remembered some things and immediately gave up the idea of ​​joining any sect.

What's wrong?

This matter is related to the Immortal Venerable Linglong.

In later history of immortality, it was known as the "Tribulation of Linglong".

Only the parties involved know the full details.

According to later accounts, the situation back then was roughly as follows:

Linglong Tian, ​​a disciple of the Taiyi Sect, not only possesses demonic artifacts but also cultivates demonic supernatural powers.

Upon learning of this, the Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Sect not only wanted to strip her of her Dao artifacts but also to abolish her demonic supernatural powers.

The value of Dao artifacts is self-evident.

After all, some ancient giants at the first level of immortality spend thousands of years painstakingly refining a low-grade Dao artifact.

The difficulty of cultivating supernatural powers goes without saying.

Even an ordinary supernatural power cannot be mastered without decades of practice.

As for the more powerful and supreme supernatural abilities, they are even more difficult to cultivate.

Of course, if one were to master it, its power would be earth-shattering and unparalleled throughout the universe.

Treasures and supernatural powers are the foundation upon which cultivators stand.

To strip them of their treasures and abolish their supernatural powers is almost a matter of life and death.

Linglong is a legendary figure at the Immortal King level, the reincarnation of the daughter of Hongmeng Daoist.

He was born with extraordinary luck.

After advancing to the Longevity Realm, some of his memories also awakened.

If it's a low-grade Dao artifact, it probably won't even take it seriously.

The magical artifacts involved must be at least high-grade, or even top-grade.

Otherwise, if it were a low- to mid-grade Dao artifact, the Taiyi Sect, with its vast wealth, could easily resolve the conflict by simply providing a single piece as compensation.

As for demonic supernatural powers, that's hard to say.

after all.

In this era, apart from the Grand Destiny Technique, the other Great Daos were divided up and spread among the giants of various major forces such as the Immortal Dao, Demon Dao, Monster Dao, God Clan, and Dragon Clan at the beginning of the era.

There is no distinction of high or low, noble or base among the three thousand great paths.

However, when these ideas and races fall into the hands of cultivators, a distinction arises between good and evil.

To use an analogy, supernatural powers are like a kitchen knife; they are good when used for good, and evil when used for evil.

Can you just say out of thin air that this kitchen knife will be used to kill good people in the future, and then you want to destroy the kitchen knife?

That's utter nonsense!

This also shows that among the various immortal sects, the Supreme Elders have been high and mighty for a long time, and they are really domineering.

The matter escalated further, culminating in Linglong escaping from the Taiyi Sect and re-establishing her own.

This is also the background for the later creation of the tenth sect of immortality, "Linglong Blessed Land".

Later, the stronger Linglong became, the more humiliated the Taiyi Sect became.

Taiyi Sect is the oldest immortal sect in the Xuanhuang Great World. It connects with the immortal realm and dominates the universe. For countless millennia, it has held the reins of the nine immortal sects and its power has shaken all the heavens and myriad realms.

This incident naturally attracted widespread attention and discussion.

The term "Linglong's Calamity" also indicates that Linglong's rebellion against Taiyi Sect was a calamity.

Later, the fact that Taiyi Sect's Supreme Elder, Taiyutian, was killed by Linglong Immortal Venerable shows the conflict between the two sides.

Also after the Linglong Calamity, among the nine immortal sects, except for the Taiyi Sect which still adhered to its established rules, the other eight immortal sects no longer restricted their disciples from cultivating supernatural powers that were not of their own sect.

Linglong was able to escape from Taiyi Sect back then, which means she must have at least the cultivation level of the second level of the Longevity Realm.

Otherwise, those at the Longevity Realm would only be suppressed and would have no chance of escaping.

In this era, Linglong is still in the Wanshou Realm, and Xu Yan cannot estimate when the Linglong Calamity will occur.

Therefore, since the Linglong Calamity has not yet occurred, the Nine Immortal Sects are still following their old traditions.

If a disciple is found to be practicing supernatural powers of another sect, the punishment will be at least imprisonment in a celestial prison.

In severe cases, supernatural powers will be stripped, cultivation will be abolished, and the individual will be reduced to a mortal.

Xu Yan himself is fishing for destiny, and he will surely be able to catch many supernatural powers in the future.

Under such circumstances, how could he possibly join a sect and invite trouble upon himself?

"The calamity that befell Linglong in this era is similar to the attitude the Feathered Ascension Sect had towards Fang Han during his time!"

Xu Yan suddenly chuckled.

Fang Han possessed the top-grade Dao artifact, the Dragon Subduing Yellow Springs Diagram, crafted by the Demonic Yellow Springs Emperor. In just a few years, he rose rapidly to prominence, which had long been the object of envy and resentment of certain members of the Feathered Ascension Sect.

Adding to this, Fang Han, a lowly stable boy, dares to dream of vying for the position of sect leader. How can some people tolerate this?

Afterwards, Fang Han, even though he was in the right, forcefully killed an ancient giant of the Feathered Gate, which immediately aroused public anger.

Later, some of the Supreme Elders of the Feathered Ascension Sect awakened the three ancient beings known as the Three Saints of Feathered Ascension, intending to confiscate Fang Han's treasures, such as the Yellow Springs Map, strip him of his supernatural powers, and suppress him.

If Fang Han hadn't been shrewd enough to have the Emperor's Brush ready in advance, he would have ended up with the same fate as Linglong.

In fact, the Feathered Gate didn't play a crucial role in Fang Han's rise to power.

Of course, we cannot deny the time when Feng Baiyu rescued Fang Han from the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion.

Therefore, Xu Yan didn't care that he couldn't join the Nine Immortal Sects.

With such a golden touch, how could he not rise to prominence?

It is not impossible to cultivate oneself in the mortal world.

The Great Xuan Empire, known as the number one city in the world, is a city of cultivation, and it is also the next place he has chosen to settle down.

Now that he's at the physical cultivation level, it's difficult for him to reach Xuanhuang City.

Before that, he still needs to focus on his cultivation and advance to the Divine Power Realm as soon as possible.

After all, without supernatural powers, one is ultimately just an ant.

He wasn't going to this city of cultivators to be a mere ant.

As night fell, Xu Yan put away the various worlds and quickly fell asleep.

I slept soundly through the night.

Xu Yan was full of energy and looked radiant.

At this moment, he is almost at his current peak.

Without hesitation, he took out the inner core of the unicorn viper and began to steam it.

After looking at the various worlds last night, he knew that this thing would be best made into a pill, but given the limited resources available now, he could only cook it and eat it.

Five days later, he completely digested the last portion of the inner core.

On the ground, the force of the punches raged, but Xu Yan kept his mind focused and alternated between the "Pine Crane Longevity Fist" and the "Raging Bull Fist".

again and again.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly jolted awake.

At this moment, his heart was beating very slowly.

His breathing became much longer, and a powerful force filled his entire body.

"Fifth level of physical divine power realm, achieved!"
