Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 351

Chapter 351 The Immense Power of the Immortal Crystal!!

“What? That Su Bai returned from the Immortal Realm??”

“And there are over five hundred Heavenly Venerables in the Heavenly Dao Sect??”

Beyond the Heavens, in the Heavenly Palace Great Hall.

The senior figures of the Heavenly Palace sat here, discussing countermeasures.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!!”

The Heavenly Lord spoke, his face dark, his expression resentful.

More than five hundred Heavenly Venerables—how could the Heavenly Dao Sect say that out loud!!

Saying fifty-some Heavenly Venerables might be believable, a hundred could barely be accepted.

But more than five hundred??

Are Heavenly Venerables mass-produced now?

“What trick is going on here?”

On the chief seat, the Third Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace frowned and spoke.

Su Bai’s strength made him wary, but Su Bai could return from the Immortal Realm?

The Immortal Realm… what kind of place is the Immortal Realm?!

He felt an urgent need to know.

He wasn’t the only one—the other old ancestors of the Heavenly Palace were also desperate to learn about the Immortal Realm.

“Report to the Third Ancestor: this Heavenly Dao Sect’s sect master Su Bai is extremely crafty and deceitful. Previously there were rumors he had over five hundred Heavenly Venerables, but looking back, it was all false!”

“There must be illusionists within the Heavenly Dao Sect, and very likely Su Bai himself!”

“Before, the Heavenly Dao Sect used that ruse to keep us from acting rashly, buying time to develop!”

“The Heavenly Dao Sect, from start to finish, had at most around twenty Heavenly Venerables appear at the same time!!”

“I suspect Su Bai either didn’t return from the Immortal Realm at all, or if he did he was irreparably wounded. Those five hundred-plus Heavenly Venerables are fake!”

“They want to pull the same trick again—make us fear them and not strike, giving Su Bai time to recover!”

“The more they act strong, the more hollow they actually are; they want to frighten us into retreating like scared turtles!!”

“Third Ancestor, Fourth Ancestor, Sixth Ancestor, this man is extremely deceptive—don’t let them fool you!!”

The Heavenly Lord analyzed with a grave face; the more he spoke, the more convinced he became that his guess was correct.

“Seen that way, it does make sense. Where would more than five hundred Heavenly Venerables come from in this world?”

“The Heavenly Dao Sect has pulled stunts like this before. Next time, will they bring out five hundred Supremes??”

“If they really had that kind of strength, why would they formally challenge us? They would have attacked long ago!”

“If I had over five hundred Heavenly Venerables and didn’t strike immediately, I’d be an idiot!!”

The rest of the Heavenly Venerables in the palace nodded reasonably, thinking the Heavenly Lord’s analysis was sound.

On the chief seat, the Third Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace pondered briefly, then his expression steadily hardened.

“Regardless of whether those five hundred-plus Heavenly Venerables are real or fake, regardless of whether Su Bai is injured, this time our Heavenly Palace must go to war!”

“At that time, capture Su Bai and pry the secrets of the Immortal Realm out of him!”

The Third Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace made the decision, confirming they would go to battle.

Beside him, the Fourth Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace frowned and said, “Third Brother, Su Bai’s power is considerable. The Heavenly Dao Sect may have hidden strong fighters. With only people like us…”

The implication: we can’t beat them!

Hearing this, the Third Ancestor gave a cold smile and said, “Hmph, the name of the Heavenly Palace cannot be insulted.”

“Rest assured, this battle will not involve only us. Whether Su Bai is wounded or not, we will make sure those who come do not return!!”

Hearing that, the Fourth Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace brightened.

From Third Brother’s words—could it be that Second Brother and the others have awakened as well?

…………………

Heavenly Dao Sect, Great Hall.

“Su Bai” looked at the immortal crystal in his hand, about the size of a pebble, and began to examine it carefully.

The crystal was milky white, patterned with strange veins, and faint strands of immortal qi flowed within it.

This immortal qi was extraordinarily pure, its potency terrifyingly great!

These crystals were, of course, the ones Gao Pan sold to the ascendants; at this moment “Su Bai” had brought them all back to the lower realm.

“Su Bai” also had some understanding of their value.

A single ascendant at the Heavenly Venerable Realm only needed to sell one lower-grade immortal crystal!

That alone shows how precious they were!!

“Su Bai” probed it carefully; sure enough, the energy contained in the crystal was extremely fearsome.

Even a trace of the immortal spirit within was many times richer than mortal-world spiritual energy!

Unfortunately, mortal cultivators cannot directly absorb this immortal qi to cultivate.

It must first be converted into immortal power before it can be absorbed!

The immortal qi in one lower-grade crystal is more than enough to fully convert a Heavenly Venerable into a rogue immortal, with surplus to spare!

A single mid-grade crystal can fully convert a supreme being into an earthly immortal!

Of course, generally speaking, the earlier one converts, the greater the loss!!

Converting spiritual energy into immortal power is equivalent to a sudden, transformative breakthrough in the immortal way—a one-time compensatory opportunity in a lifetime!

It is a special benefit the heavenly dao of the Immortal Realm grants to ascendants from the lower realm, to make up for what they lacked before.

The stronger your cultivation, the greater this compensation!

In the Immortal Realm, the speed of cultivation and advancement is far beyond what the mortal world can compare to.

There, infants are already in Qi Refining!

Adults can already establish Foundation!

With a little effort, they reach Golden Core and Nascent Soul Realm!

Not exaggerating, without the Heavenly Dao Sect’s help, an emperor like the Great Zhao Emperor would be stuck at early Nascent Soul his whole life!

But if he had grown up in the Immortal Realm, even as a rogue immortal there would be some chance!!

A rogue immortal is equivalent to a Heavenly Venerable!

A typical Heavenly Venerable ascendant, after converting immortal power, can usually reach the late rogue immortal stage—comparable to an Invincible Heavenly Venerable!

A normal Invincible Heavenly Venerable ascendant, after conversion, can typically reach the peak of rogue immortal—comparable to an Invincible Heavenly Venerable of the Ninth Heaven!

Some Ninth Heaven Invincible Heavenly Venerables, after conversion, have a high probability of directly entering the earthly immortal realm and becoming a supreme being!

And so on—some powerful supremes, like the Heavenly Palace’s Third Ancestor, after converting immortal power, would basically become a heavenly immortal!

Still overwhelmingly stronger than ordinary heavenly immortals who simply grew up in the Immortal Realm like Gao Pan!

Therefore, converting immortal power as early as possible is not always best!

After all, the later stages are harder to break through.

Naturally, only when one’s advancement has reached its mortal limits—when further progress is impossible—does converting immortal power become the correct choice!

Most of the ascendants Su Bai brought back still had great potential; converting their immortal power now would be a terrible waste!!

“Inside this, besides containing vast amounts of immortal power, there’s even a trace of… longevity qi!”

Then, “Su Bai” discovered that within the crystal there was also a strand of the power of longevity!!

It was longevity qi, not some life-prolonging herb!

The difference between the two was unimaginably great!
