Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1381: Chapter 743: Immortal Heaven Continent

The divine light covered the sky and earth, bringing with it the vast and supreme aura of the Tao, instantly flooding Zhao Sheng’s spirit, capturing his entire attention.

In a trance, a distant, emotionless voice echoed in his mind: "The celestial catastrophe approaches, all cultivators of Taiyi, hear me... The Immortal Stele is summoned... Cultivators of all heavens carry the decree, demon slaying to uphold the Tao begins today... Bestow upon thee merit, to honor thy deeds!"

Amidst the grand Taoist voice, an enormous amount of information surged into Zhao Sheng’s mind:

"Longevity Dao Fruit, can be refined to ascend to immortality... 10,000 Heavenly Merit to exchange!"

"Seven Treasures Glaze Eyes, Nine-grade True Immortal Artifact... 9,900 Heavenly Merit to exchange!"

"Green Emperor Transformation Scripture, Third Grade Immortal Law... 9,300 Heavenly Merit to exchange!"

"Taiyin Tribulation Avoidance Order, can avoid wind, fire, and Five Elements Thunder Tribulation... 6,100 Heavenly Merit to exchange!"

...

"One Realm Star Lord, for a term of 10,000 years... 800 Heavenly Merit to exchange!"

"One Cave Heaven Blessed Land... 630 Heavenly Merit to exchange!"

"Acquired Dao Body... 500 Heavenly Merit to exchange!"

...

"Returning Void Pill... 10 Heavenly Merit to exchange!"

"Fifth-rank Spiritual Land, 3,000-year lease... 3 Heavenly Merit to exchange"

...

"Sumeru Ring... 570 Great Merit!"

"Fourth-rank Primordial Spirit Pill... 100 Great Merit to exchange one!!"

"Top-grade magic treasure... 30 Great Merit to exchange one"

...

Merit Reward List

"Slay a Holy Demon, merit registered as 10,000 Heavenly Merit..."

"Slay a Three Tribulations Demon Venerable, merit registered as 1,000 Heavenly Merit!"

"Slay a One Tribulation Demon Venerable, merit registered as 300 Heavenly Merit!"

"..."

"Slay a Void Realm Demon Elder, merit registered as 1 Heavenly Merit, highest 9 Heavenly Merit, based on realm ranking!"

"Slay a Primordial Spirit Demon Monster, merit registered... highest 900 Great Merit, based on realm..."

...

After an unknown amount of time, the divine light and Taoist voice slowly dissipated.

Just as Zhao Sheng regained his clarity, he saw Zhao Xuanjing place the stele into his sleeve.

"How is it? Are you tempted after seeing it?"

"Haha! The Taiyi Spirit Palace has spared no expense to slay the Alien Demons. Not only you and I, but even True Immortals would be tempted!" Zhao Sheng laughed lightly, his eyes filled with passion and desire.

"Jing Ancestor, do you think I might..."

Before he could finish, Zhao Xuanjing nodded with a smile: "The Immortal Venerables have not restricted qualifications, anyone with the heart to slay demons and defend the Tao can earn merit." Zhao Xuanjing’s tone shifted: "However, it is still too early to speak of this. You have not received the Merit Stele Subbody, hence, you cannot exchange for merit yet."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng glanced at his sleeve, probing: "Tell me quickly, how do I acquire this Merit Stele Subbody?"

"I too do not know, as this item was bestowed upon me personally by my master. Indeed, I am among the first batch to receive the sub-statue!"

Zhao Xuanjing’s words chilled Zhao Sheng’s heart, but the latter part of his statement reignited a flicker of hope within him.

"... No need to rush. From my view, this sub-statue has no prohibitions. If I can use it, so can you. However, patience is necessary, a little more waiting is required."

After Zhao Xuanjing finished, he further said: "Let’s not speak of this for now. Time to discuss serious matters! Do you know why I was in the first batch to receive the Merit Stele Subbody?"

Zhao Sheng’s mind raced, he pondered before saying: "Could it be to... merit by merit!"

"Indeed!... ’Merit by merit’ is just one aspect, more importantly, my strength and extensive battle experience made me one of the best ’pathfinding pioneers’!"

"Pathfinding pioneers?!"

Zhao Sheng frowned, suddenly thinking of something, his expression turned extremely grim, uttering: "Immortal Heaven Continent!"

So-called "Immortal Heaven Continent" actually refers to the "Grotto Heaven" created by a Longevity Immortal as their life-bound world.

It is known that Unification Realm cultivators can create a Grotto Heaven, much less a Longevity Immortal!

Upon ascension to immortality, the True Immortal’s life-bound Grotto Heaven evolves again, not only does the space increase astronomically, but the Taoist Laws within become more perfected, more attuned to the Heavenly Dao of the natural world.

After Tu Bo Immortal Venerable’s fall, the life-bound "Immortal Heaven" does not swiftly collapse but falls slowly from Longevity Heaven to Near Heaven, then Divine Palace Heaven... followed by Dark Sky... eventually, entering the current space-time, transforming into a Constant Sand World.

During the continuous fall, the Immortal Heaven Continent will, under the influence of the Power of Void Realm, continuously collapse and disintegrate into isolated "isles" of time and space.

These isles will eventually hover in the Divine Palace Heaven, becoming floating Void Heaven Relics after millennia of trial.

The main body of the Immortal Heaven Continent will fall into reality, under the dominion of Taoist Law, it will undergo a space-time contraction, becoming a planet rich in spiritual energy.

In all universes, many Constant Sand Worlds are formed in this manner.

"You’re not wrong. I am just the first batch, there will be a second, third... In short, Tu Bo Immortal Venerable’s life-bound Immortal Heaven must not fall into the hands of the Alien Demons, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Zhao Sheng nodded, well aware of the catastrophic scenario if the Immortal Heaven Continent becomes a nest for the Alien Demons!

One must understand, the Immortal Heaven Continent is vast and boundless, containing billions of lives that thrive and flourish within.

If all life on the continent became "parasitized" by the Alien Demons, it would create an unimaginably large and terrifying demon army.

Amongst them, no one knows how many powerful Demon Monsters and Demon Elders could arise.

The Alien Demon Clan, with their ambition to taint the Immortal Heaven, the Taiyi Spirit Realm naturally must put all efforts to thwart them!
