I rely on length to cultivate immortality

Li Xiuchang looked at the Xianchen Sect in the Tianhuang Realm from afar. It was still magnificent, but compared to the Xianchen Sect in the lower realm, it still felt a little less interesting.

The Fairy Dust Sect in the lower realm has outstanding people and immortal spirit, while the Fairy Dust Sect in the upper realm seems to be a fairy mansion built on the wasteland. No matter how spectacular and magnificent it is, it still has a desolate background.

To put it bluntly, I was dragged down by the environment.

Although at a glance, the Fairy Dust Sect is already very different from the outside world and has a lot more vitality, there is still a gap between it and the lower world.

Yan Kang and Li Xiuchang landed in front of the mountain gate. The sect-protecting formation opened a portal. The two people responsible for guarding the entrance obviously knew Yan Kang. They nodded to him and then looked at Li Xiuchang:

"Senior Brother Yan, who is this you are bringing?"

Yan Kang did not explain much to the two of them, but just said: "He is an ascended person who has just come up from the lower world. I want to take him to see the Supreme Elder."

The two said: "Senior brother, you should know the rules. If you are not a monk of this sect, if you do not receive an invitation, you need to ask your superiors for permission before you can be released."

Yan Kang said in a deep voice: "This person has the identity token of our Fairy Dust Sect. He should be a monk from the lower realm of our sect. I took him to see the Supreme Elder just to verify his identity."

The two immortals who were guarding the gate took out the sound transmission magic weapon and asked for instructions from the superiors before finally letting him go.

Li Xiuchang could tell that the Xianchen Sect in the Upper Realm was heavily guarded, and he was afraid that the battle between good and evil would become tense.

After entering the Xianchen Sect, Li Xiuchang looked around and saw that there were many similarities with the Xianchen Sect in the lower realm.

Although the Upper Realm Fairy Dust Sect does not have an inner gate or an outer gate, it is also divided into two areas: immortal and mortal. The circle near the periphery is populated by disciples who have not become immortals, while the powerful ones who have become immortals live in the central area.

The Upper Realm Fairy Dust Sect also has many disciples who have not yet become immortals.

There were originally indigenous mortals in the Tianhuang Realm. After the powerful men from the lower realm ascended, some of them also gave birth to children.

It's just that because of the harsh environment of the Tianhuang Realm, the population has been growing slowly.

Li Xiuchang noticed that a large area of ​​spiritual plants was planted on the edge of Xianchen Sect. It was the same spiritual plant that he often saw on the road.

He curiously asked: "Senior Yan, what kind of spiritual plants are being planted around here? Why do I see these spiritual plants growing everywhere in the Tianhuang Realm?"

Yan Kang was quite patient with Li Xiuchang and replied: "This is a special spiritual plant in the Tianhuang Realm. It is called Lingshu. It has the effect of absorbing and purifying spiritual energy. It will collect all the spiritual energy deep in the ground and store it in the rhizome." among.

"The rhizome of this spiritual potato is similar to the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the world. They are both edible. Monks can also directly extract the aura from the rhizomes for cultivation or replenishing mana."

Li Xiuchang was stunned and said, "Isn't this the spiritual stone that grows in the soil?"

Yan Kang smiled and said: "You can also say that, but after the cultivation level is high, the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone is mixed and impure for us, not as pure as the spiritual energy in the spiritual potato. If we want to absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone, It also needs to be purified.

"Of course, the main reason is that the spiritual energy in the Tianhuang Realm is thin, and the spiritual stone veins are also very rare, so you see that most casual cultivators and sect forces are planting spiritual potatoes in large areas."

Li Xiuchang clicked his tongue in surprise, but as a great spiritual plant master, he was still keenly aware that something was wrong and said:

"If the spiritual potato keeps absorbing the underground spiritual energy, the soil below will become barren sooner or later. Wouldn't it take a while for the potato to be planted in a different place?"

Yan Kangdao: "Lingshu not only absorbs spiritual energy from the soil, but its leaves can also absorb the spiritual energy flowing in the air. Of course, the most important thing is that we will fertilize the soil from time to time."

At this point, Yan Kang's tone became meaningful.

Li Xiuchang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked vaguely, "What should I use to fertilize?"

"Of course it's using the magic power in the dead enemy's body." Yan Kang replied.

Li Xiuchang immediately thought of the sword cultivator named Sun Changzi who killed the old demon cultivator with one sword and collected all the remaining magic power of the other party.

Other people's mana cannot be absorbed directly, but Lingshu has the effect of extracting and purifying spiritual energy, and can convert other people's mana into high-concentration pure spiritual energy that can be absorbed.

"Does the magic cultivator also plant spiritual potatoes on a large scale?" Li Xiuchang asked again.

Yan Kang glanced at him and seemed to understand what he was thinking. He nodded and said, "Yes, so the battle between good and evil is no longer purely a battle of positions, but also a battle for resources and interests."

Li Xiuchang frowned. The situation in the upper world was much more serious than he thought. There was a lack of spiritual energy, but these immortal-level experts were all big consumers of spiritual energy.

This makes every strong person in the Tianhuang Realm have to be careful about the use of their own magic power.

If you can use a little less mana, never use more. If a problem can be solved with one move, never use two.

For example, the former sword cultivator surnamed Sun Changzi would directly take the enemy's life with one sword without any delay to avoid wasting more mana.

But just saving money without a stable source of spiritual energy is definitely not enough.

With few resources, there will inevitably be competition. Good and evil are naturally opposed to each other, so they naturally become natural enemies.

Both sides regard the other party's people as a mobile aura storehouse, hunting each other and constantly reducing their numbers.

If there are too many monks and too little porridge, the hungry monks will eliminate each other until all the remaining monks can eat porridge.

Although the spiritual energy in the Tianhuang Realm is thin, it is enough as long as there are few people.

There are too many people now and not enough spiritual energy.

Yan Kang said: "We all believe that as long as we can catch all the evil cultivators, the spiritual energy in this world will be abundant. Of course, the evil cultivators also think so."

The dispute over positions and resources, Li Xiuchang could imagine that both sides were definitely fighting their brains out.

"We're here. If you are really a disciple of my Xianchen Sect, don't worry. The elders will not wrongly accuse you."

When they arrived in front of a hall, Yan Kang comforted Li Xiuchang.

Li Xiuchang nodded, but he was not nervous. His identity was real, so he could naturally withstand the investigation. Besides, he was just the Grand Elder of the Xianchen Sect, and he had met them in the lower world.

Several of his neighbors, brothers and sisters, were qualified to serve as Grand Elders in the Xianchen Sect in the upper world.

The Grand Elders of the Xianchen Sect in the upper world are indeed much more valuable than those in the lower world.

In the lower world, anyone who is an immortal can serve as a Grand Elder, but in the upper world, at least they must have the cultivation of a Golden Immortal.

Even ordinary elders must have the cultivation of a True Immortal.

In other words, Li Xiuchang's cultivation level is not enough to be an elder in the upper world.

Entering the hall, there are three Grand Elders sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed.

This is certainly not the full strength of the Xianchen Sect in the upper realm. In order to save spiritual energy, most of the powerful people with the level of Golden Immortal in the Tianhuang Realm are usually in a state of seclusion and sleep.

Even if they don't take action, just maintaining the operation of the skills on weekdays will consume a huge amount of spiritual energy.

The three supreme elders slowly opened their eyes after Li Xiuchang and the others came in.

The three of them obviously knew Yan Kang's intention in advance. They first took Li Xiuchang's identity token and didn't see any problems.

At this point, Li Xiuchang's identity has been basically confirmed.

As long as the identity token has not been tampered with, the spiritual aura in it can match, then it won't be fake.

And then again, even if it is really fake, it won't be so outrageous. No one would believe that he became an immortal after practicing for thirteen years.

It is because it is too outrageous that it doesn't seem to be fake.

But the three supreme elders still asked Li Xiuchang some more questions, including some more secret information inside the Xianchen Sect in the lower realm, and Li Xiuchang answered fluently.

If he really encountered a question he didn't know, he would directly answer it.

After some inquiries, and with Li Xiuchang's willingness to swear an oath to prove it, the three supreme elders and Yan Kang no longer had any doubts about Li Xiuchang's identity.

After confirming that Li Xiuchang was one of their own, the three supreme elders, who had been stern and serious, suddenly became friendly.

A round-faced elder asked, "Who is the leader of the lower world now?"

Li Xiuchang replied, "It's Brother Liang Daocheng."

"Liang Daocheng? Is this kid still alive? We all thought he was killed by the demon cultivators, but we didn't expect him to go to the lower world. He's lucky."

The round-faced elder was slightly surprised at first, but then his face fell and he cursed, "How could this bastard boy let you ascend without any preparation?"

The other two elders also agreed, "With your talent and potential, it's reasonable to arrange two people to ascend with you and protect you, but he didn't even prepare any means of self-defense for you!"

"That's right, you almost fell into the hands of the demon cultivators! Fortunately, God blesses my Xianchen Sect, so that you finally returned to the sect safely after many twists and turns."

"Yan Kang, you did a good job, and you will be credited with a great achievement this time!"

The three elders scolded Liang Daocheng across a world.

With the talent and potential shown by Li Xiuchang, he immediately became their treasure, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was the hope for the Xianchen Sect to make further progress in the future!

Such an important strategic talent, how could they just let him ascend casually? Not sending anyone to protect him would be fine, but not even taking any defensive measures?

Especially when they learned that Li Xiuchang was almost captured by the demon cultivators, the three supreme elders were even more scared.

How many years of luck did the Xianchen Sect have to accumulate to produce such a genius?

If this was lost in the hands of the demon cultivators, it would be equivalent to losing the sect's luck for countless years in the future.

Fortunately, fortunately, he did not ascend to the demon cultivators' base camp... The three supreme elders secretly rejoiced.

"In fact, the disciple's ascension happened suddenly this time, and there was no time to prepare, so it's not the fault of Sect Master Liang." Li Xiuchang said to defend Liang Daocheng.

"You don't have to speak for him. If anything happens to you, he, the sect leader, will be blamed!"

"That's right. There are also those old guys, Jiao Hong and Lao Pu. They have lived for so many years, but they are still so careless. They should personally escort you to ascend!"

Li Xiuchang coughed lightly and said, "You three seniors don't know that the lower world is not peaceful now. Senior Jiao Hong and his friends are too busy to care about him."

"Oh? What happened in the lower world?"

The three supreme elders all became serious.

Since the decline of the Demonic Path, the Xianyin Realm has always been a peaceful and prosperous era. The four major immortal gates control the overall situation. The three really can't think of anything that can pose a threat to the Xianchen Sect.

Unless it comes from Xianyin or another world...

Li Xiuchang deliberately led the topic to this point. At this time, he finally got to the point. He told the story of the shadow invasion in the lower world from the beginning.

These things had been told to various forces many times when they were in the lower world. Li Xiuchang was already very familiar with them when he talked about them again. His logic was clear, his words were well-organized, and he spoke in great detail.

The eyes of the three supreme elders and Yan Kang widened as they listened... To them, these things were as incredible as Li Xiuchang's thirteen-year immortality, but they could not find any flaws.

They were all the kind of things that sounded so fake that they seemed real.

After Li Xiuchang finished speaking, the four of them were speechless for a while, and the hall was silent.

Li Xiuchang added: "By the way, the Elder Park mentioned by the three seniors just now has been replaced by a shadow. Moreover, Elder Park has a high level of cultivation. He was unable to leave his shadow at that time. Now he has fled to nowhere."

"Old Pu..." The round-faced elder opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Several people's hearts were filled with complicated emotions for a while, and their reason told them that Li Xiuchang was not capable and had no reason to talk nonsense.

But the truth is really hard to accept.

I don’t know how long it took, but after several people finally digested the news, a feeling of powerlessness followed.

They knew that the lower realm was facing an unprecedented disaster and challenge, but they were trapped in the upper realm and unable to contribute.

"We old guys are trapped in the upper realm and can only sleep all day long. It is better to go out more often. If we encounter a temporary passage, we can return to the lower realm and give up our lives to contribute to the sect."

Li Xiuchang said at the right time: "Seniors, don't worry. I believe that not long after, you will be able to return to the lower realm with me."

"What do you mean?" Everyone's eyes lit up.

Li Xiuchang told Chen Changsheng that he was building a cross-border teleportation array.

"My senior brother Chen should be able to fly up and build a teleportation array to the lower realm soon."

The tallest of the three Supreme Elders, known as Master Songhe, raised his eyebrows and asked: "The fellow Taoist Chen you mentioned who is good at formations has a nickname called Turtle Immortal?"

Li Xiuchang said in surprise: "Senior, do you know Senior Brother Chen?"

Master Songhe nodded and said: "I can't say we know each other, but I have been fortunate enough to see his formations. Speaking of which, I am tens of thousands of years older than him. I have also been studying formations since the beginning of my practice, but his formation attainments But it’s far better than me, I’m really ashamed!”

Chen Changsheng has been a low-key person throughout his life. Even when he reached the upper world, he did not achieve any great fame.

But within the small circle of formation mages, his legend is circulating.

Originally, when it came to building a teleportation array to the lower world, Master Songhe didn't really believe that anyone could do it, but if it was the Turtle Immortal, that was another matter.

"If it's him, it's possible..."

Hearing Master Songhe say this, several other people became excited: "Can we also go down to the next world?"

Master Songhe threw cold water and said: "Even if the teleportation array is successfully built, are we just going to leave? We are all gone, who will deal with those evil people?"

"Then go back to the lower realm and leave this world to their evil ways and demon cultivators, and let them do what they want!" said the round-faced Supreme Elder. (End of chapter)
