After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 245 Redstone Town

Small world.

Metaverse.

Ascension?

Qi Sheng shook his head.

If this is considered "ascension," then lower realms like the Xuanming Realm would probably have signs everywhere saying "Do not ascend."

The mortal realm is perilous.

Let's talk about the 'pseudo-invincible'.

Even if it is 'truly invincible'.

Everything was impossible to move.

Entering rashly would mean certain death.

Back then, when the Yuan Realm node first appeared in the Xuanming Realm, there were hundreds or thousands of top cultivators who entered the Yuan Realm to explore at the same time as the five sects and five ancestors of the Barbarian Frontier.

In the end, only the Five Ancestors were lucky enough to return alive from the vast barbarian lands.

Other areas.

Like the East China Sea, like the North China Sea, like the Western Pole, like the Southern Mountain.

Those who survived and returned numbered no more than a handful.

Go forward.

later.

There was no one else around.

For over a thousand years.

With the ruined world town as their backing, major sects like the Netherworld Sect, possessing invincible immortality, have also used their immortality to explore the Yuan Realm through spatial rifts.

Many died.

Limited exploration.

This ascension is not becoming an immortal, but becoming a ghost.

This is a real insult to the word 'ascension'.

Seeing that the Taoist remained silent, Tu Su asked, "Fellow Daoist, did any of your ancestors come to the Yuan Realm early on? I wonder which immortal town they settled in?"

Qi Sheng asked curiously, "Is 'Immortal Town' the same as 'World Town'?"

Tusu laughed and said, "'World Town' is a fitting name. It's just too awkward to say. My Redstone Town and the surrounding area are all called 'Fairy Town'."

"I see."

Qi Sheng understood and replied, "The Patriarch came and went, and has long since passed away, leaving behind only a few words about the Yuan Realm and the Immortal Town."

Upon hearing this, Tu Su said with delight, "In that case, fellow Daoist, why not settle down in my Red Stone Town? There are many rewards to be had, which is much better than wandering alone in this Yuan Realm."

Qi Sheng was stunned—

Are there rewards for settling down?

Talent introduction policies?

He asked curiously, "If there are rewards, are there any restrictions?"

Tu Su said, "The cultivators in Redstone Town are divided into two categories: those who reside temporarily and those who settle permanently."

"in--"

"Temporary residents cannot purchase property; they can only rent, which is expensive and requires a 'temporary residence order,' and they have no ability to recover."

"Settling down means settling down. The Immortal Town will allocate housing, which will not be rented. You only need to pay a certain management fee regularly. In addition, a 'Redstone Token' will be issued, leaving a soul imprint. With the blessing of the source, as long as you are within the radiation range of the Redstone Town's rules, you can be resurrected even if you die violently. All you need is some 'merit'."

The benefits of settling down are so enticing that even just the prospect of "resurrection" is enough.

But the constraints are greater.

"As far as I know, if one's soul is imprinted in the Immortal Town, one will not die, but will live and die together with it. Once the Immortal Town collapses, the cultivator will also perish."

"And it cannot go too far from the Immortal Town."

"To be confined to one place for one's entire life."

Qi Sheng was not entirely ignorant about the Yuan Realm and the World Town.

People have explored the Xuanming Realm before and visited the World Town. Although the rules of different immortal towns are different, the most basic 'branding' and 'resurrection' are similar.

Once branded.

While enjoying the benefits of 'resurrection', one must also be bound by lifelong constraints.

From now on.

One glory and one glory.

No ambitious monk would be content with that.

Therefore.

Even though settling down in the city has many benefits, this one advantage alone makes many people hesitate.

Tu Su saw through Qi Sheng's thoughts and said solemnly, "The Yuan Realm is dangerous. Leaving the Immortal Town often results in death and the dissipation of one's cultivation. Only one in ten thousand can die a natural death. Rather than needlessly throwing away your life, it is better to stay in the Immortal Town and cultivate diligently."

He further cited an example: "In my Redstone Town, there are three 'immortals' who have settled in the Immortal Town and cultivated the Great Dao, great magical power, and great supernatural abilities. They are able to do as they please in all directions. With special permission from the source, they have no more lifespan restrictions and can live for tens of thousands of years; they have no more freedom restrictions and can travel tens of thousands of miles."

Tu Sulang said, "The Immortal Town of Branding is backed by its origin, making it immortal and indestructible. Fellow Daoist, are you still afraid of not being able to find it or wait for an opportunity to advance?"

These words.

That makes sense.

But Qi Sheng doesn't need it.

'I possess the ninth celestial cave.'

'What kind of fairy town is this? Forget about it.'

He didn't argue with Tusu, but pressed his hand down: "This matter is not urgent, something strange is happening."

Ok?
Tu Su was surprised.

weird?

where?

He looked around, but of course he couldn't see anything.

But Qi Sheng opened his vertical eye between his eyebrows and realized that as early as when the Eight-Clawed Lion King was fighting Tu Su's team, another strange and sneaky creature was lurking around.

now.

It arrived silently, appearing in the sky.

Three heads.

Six arms.

Eight legs.

Twenty-four eyes.

A body of silver.

Tusu was shocked: "Silver Jade Demon!"

It was actually a second-realm anomaly.

This is a powerful existence that only a military leader can contend with.

Too bad!

"disease!"

Qi Sheng remained calm.

He had already discerned the demon's true nature the instant this strange phenomenon appeared—

[Coordinates: Metaverse]

[Introduction: The Silver-Azure Demon has three heads, six arms, eight legs, and twenty-four eyes, all capable of emitting silver rays that can steal life. If unleashed at full power, forming a 'Silver Entanglement,' it can create illusions that cause people to see their mothers and willingly throw themselves into her arms, thus hastening the demise of all life. Being in the Primal Realm, with the blessing of its origin, its strength is somewhat enhanced.]

[Difficulty: Level 2 ★]

……

"The second realm is strange!"

Qi Sheng's expression turned serious.

His current strength is already quite considerable.

The "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique" alone is enough to kill the 'Eight-Clawed Lion King', a first-level, eighth-star cultivator.

"Sorrowful Clouds, Mist, Sad Winds, and Bitter Rain".

"All four sword techniques are now complete."

Originally, mastering one sword technique was the pinnacle, and mastering four sword techniques was also the pinnacle.

However, Qi Sheng is no longer the same as before. With the release of the "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique", it naturally has the blessing of "Heavenly Phenomena" and "Sword Intent" from the "Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique", greatly increasing its power and raising it by at least two levels.

Therefore.

The "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique" alone is enough to kill an octopus lion king comparable to a 'pseudo-invincible' level.

After mastering all four sword techniques, practicing them together is also known as—

"The Four Symbols of Heavenly Will!"

This supreme sword technique is divided into four parts: the first part, "The Wrath of the Wind God," the second part, "The Wrath of the Fire God," the third part, "The Wrath of the Thunder God," and the fourth part, "The Wrath of the Lightning God."

Once each chapter is mastered, it can transform celestial phenomena into sword intent, or in other words, transform sword intent into celestial phenomena.

The celestial phenomena are unpredictable.

The sword intent is extremely strong.

This sword technique perfectly blends the ever-changing celestial phenomena with the invincible sword intent, giving it extreme variability.

Its power is unimaginable.

Qi Sheng practiced and experienced it firsthand.

"The beginner level is 'pseudo-invincible'."

"The proficient level is 'truly invincible'."

And what about him?
Beyond the initial stages and mastery, continue diligent practice and hard work, and then—

proficient.

Dacheng.

Consummation.

In other words, in terms of mastery and combat power of the four chapters of the "Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique" alone, Qi Sheng has already surpassed "True Invincibility" by at least three levels.

now.

with full force.

The God of Fire was enraged.

"This, this, this!"

Tusu was horrified.

He saw that behind Qi Sheng, a huge phantom of the God of Fire suddenly condensed. As Qi Sheng rode his sword, his body suddenly leaned forward, his whole body facing down at a 45° angle to the ground.

The phantom of the Vulcan was also at a 45° angle.

The God of Fire holds a sword in his hand.

A sudden, powerful blow to the strange creature.

snort~
As the sword fell, flames erupted.

"Ughhh~"

The Silver Demon had one of its heads severed by Qi Sheng. Its silver rays dissipated, and it screamed in terror as it turned and fled, disappearing in an instant.

The second realm is bizarre!

They were actually driven back by Qi Sheng?
"So strong!"

Tusu was shocked! ...

"grown ups."

"Redstone Town is just ahead."

Tusu respectfully led the way.

Qi Sheng looked ahead, but all he saw was a thinning of the gray fog, and towering red stone mountains rising from the ground.

The 'World Town·Redstone Town' is located there.

This is derived from the last part of the original source of the 'Redstone Realm' that was once devoured by the primordial realm. It possesses all sorts of wonders and protects the last remaining beings in the primordial realm, allowing them to survive tenaciously.

It is impossible to know how long ago the Redstone Realm was destroyed.

It is unknown how long Hongshi Town has existed.

All Tusu knew was: "The three immortals are the oldest living beings in Redstone Town. Under the protection of Redstone Town, they have achieved great success in their cultivation, successfully imprinting their souls into the deepest part of the origin. While gaining more authority over Redstone Town, they have also become deeply bound to the origin, thus becoming immortal and free from the worries of lifespan and freedom."

When Tusu speaks of the three immortals, he feels both respect and admiration.

For the cultivators of Redstone Town, especially the local cultivators who have settled there, their ultimate pursuit is to achieve 'immortality'.

Until then.

Carefree and at ease.

I wouldn't trade it for the Three Realms.

Tu Su looked on with envy: "The three immortals rarely return. They mostly travel to other immortal towns or various small realms and territories. As immortals, although they stop at the peak of the second realm, they are still respected even by those in the third realm because of their immortality."

Can't be killed.

It cannot be erased.

It can't be contained.

Although the overall strength of Immortal Town is far inferior to that of Minor Realms, the 'Immortals' are extremely troublesome. Once provoked, they wreak havoc and kill indiscriminately throughout Minor Realms, causing endless annoyance.

The only fatal weakness of the 'Immortals' is the Immortal Town where they reside.

Once the Immortal Town is destroyed, the Immortals will also perish.

therefore.

The immortals say they are carefree and have no scruples.

There are constraints, too.

On the one hand, they need to manage the Immortal Town carefully and cultivate more powerful individuals, especially those who settle down there, so that more cultivators can hunt for the source of the Immortal Town and ensure its long-term operation.

Also.

The immortals roam freely in the outside world, but they must keep their roots tightly hidden.

Which fairy town does it originate from?

Where is Fairy Town located?

These are all top secret.

It will absolutely not be leaked.

"immortal."

"It's interesting."

Qi Sheng thought of himself; he had refined the 'Ninth Heaven Cave' and, by using its essence, could be resurrected an infinite number of times.

Although they cannot share the lifespan with the grotto heaven.

However, correspondingly, he is not restricted by the cave heaven. He will not suffer the same fate as others, nor will he be limited in scope, nor will he be restricted in cultivation or progress.

Compared to the 'immortals' of Immortal Town, Qi Sheng's situation is actually quite wonderful.

Once it gets out.

It would probably make tens of thousands of immortals envious.

"Obtained the 'Ninth Grotto Heaven'".

“Cultivating the Stellar Transformation.”

"It's my good fortune."

Qi Sheng was relieved.

……

Qi Sheng was thinking.

Tu Su introduces Xianzhen.

soon.

We arrived outside Hongshi Town.

Hongshi Town lives up to its name; it's really not big, at most a bit bigger than an ordinary small town.

The town has only 18,000 soldiers, all of whom are cultivators with Redstone Town residency.

among them.

Some were originally outside cultivators who settled in Redstone Town and became soldiers.

Some were born and raised in Redstone Town.

just.

Before one has cultivated to a certain level of skill and strength, one is not qualified to imprint one's origin.

Yes.

qualifications.

Tusu smiled bitterly: "The settlement that the adults look down on is what the thousands of cultivators in the town dream of. Although they were born and raised in Redstone Town, if they do not meet the standards, they cannot become soldiers, cannot be imprinted with their origin, and naturally cannot be resurrected."

That's easy to understand.

Qi Sheng himself possessed the Ninth Heaven, so his knowledge of the power of origin was limited.

If Redstone Town were to release the branding, given humanity's reproductive capacity, its very essence would likely have been depleted long ago.

after all.

Those newly born, those who are just beginning their cultivation, those low-level cultivators who are utterly useless, don't have much skill in hunting down monsters and acquiring their essence, but they occupy quite a lot of the essence of the immortal town.

Make ends meet.

Not worth the candle.

Therefore.

Do not take.

"The number of soldiers can roughly indicate the strength of a celestial town."

"An ordinary cultivator who wants to become a warrior—"

"Dao Xing" (道行).

"Magic power."

"Combat strength".

"Achievements."

"All four must meet the standards; none can be missing."

Tusu was born and raised in Redstone Town. Heaven knows how much effort and energy he put into becoming a soldier.

With the help of his parents, he survived countless near-death experiences, which led him to become a glorious soldier of Redstone Town.

And now, having passed the assessment, he has become the captain of a ten-person squad.

That's pretty good.

Eight thousand soldiers in Hongshi Town—

Ten people form a team, with a team leader.

Fifty men formed a garrison, and a captain was appointed for each garrison.

One hundred people form a capital, and a lord is appointed to govern it.

Five hundred men formed a battalion, and a battalion commander was appointed.

One thousand men constitute one army, and a commander is appointed for each army.

They were divided into three groups of three thousand, each led by a cultivator who had been granted the title of Marquis.

There are only six military units in Redstone Town, and only six marquises among them.

Further up.

There are only three cultivators who have been granted the title of King.

Above the title of King are the three Immortals.

“From the military commander onwards, all of them are cultivators of the second realm.”

"Once you enter the Dao at the first stage, your lifespan is limited to five hundred years."

"At the second level of Qi cultivation, the lifespan is limited to a thousand years."

"In the past thousand years, Redstone Town has only had a handful of thirty-odd cultivators at the second level, and none of them have achieved immortality."

Tu Su introduced the rich history of Hongshi Town to Qi Sheng.

Talking and talking.

I have grown to respect you more and more.

He glanced at the kind-looking young Taoist priest beside him—

can not imagine.

This is the person.

In Redstone Town, he would be considered one of the top 30 or 40 strongest individuals.

If Qi Sheng were willing to settle down, he could become a military commander in no time, commanding a thousand soldiers.

pity.

Qi Shengzhi is not here.

……

Hongshi Town.

Bustling.

Although there aren't many soldiers in this immortal town, there are also temporary cultivators and ordinary cultivators who haven't been branded yet.

Lots and lots of them.

At a glance, there are no fewer than several million.

Tu Su led the way for Qi Sheng. Although he was only a low-ranking soldier and a small squad leader, in the Red Stone Town, he was already a figure below hundreds of people and above millions of people.

There were no more than five hundred people of higher rank than him.

Therefore.

He was dressed in the full armor of the Redstone Town Warriors, and when he walked down the street, everyone kept their distance.

Everyone knows—

Soldiers never die.

It will only wither away.

Unless they are both warriors, no one would provoke an immortal warrior.

"General Tu, you are truly majestic."

Qi Sheng and Tu Su walked side by side, overcoming many troubles.

Simultaneously.

From all aspects, he finally gained a basic understanding of Hongshi Town.

……
