Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 1173 - 895: Age of Prosperity

The fall of the Five Elements Dao Ancestor was just the beginning.

Once the cycle is broken, the consequences will be a complete collapse.

Just like now...

Gu Jinlai fought against the Three Thousand Tao Ancestors for hundreds of epochs, millions of years, before he could kill one of the Five Elements Dao Ancestor, but to kill the second Dao Ancestor of the Creation Dao, he only needed seventy epochs!

Afterward, the time for the fall of the Dao Ancestor of the Flowing Light Path was shortened to thirty epochs.

Then...

It was the turn of the Dao Ancestor of the Destruction Dao, only ten epochs.

And in the third epoch after the fall of the Dao Ancestor of the Destruction Dao, the Dao Ancestor of the Space Avenue fell, and one epoch later, the Dao Ancestor of the Nihility Dao fell, two thousand years later, the Dao Ancestor of the Slaughter Dao fell, and then...

Two hundred years, fifteen years, one year, half a month...

The speed of the fall of the Tao Ancestors became faster and faster.

The entire cosmos seemed to be in a silent lament, like a collapse.

By the final period, the speed of the fall of the Three Thousand Tao Ancestors was no longer one per day but became two per day, four per day, and even ten per day...

The order of the cosmos also transformed from the initial chaos to rapid prosperity as Gu Jinlai completely entered, devoured, and merged the cosmos.

Especially...

All cultivators clearly felt the shackles brought by the Tao Ancestors break from their bodies.

Soon, a sensational news spread.

A Great Power of the Star Spirit Clan, seeing the dark cosmos where light could not illuminate all places, chose to willingly transform into the ancestor Constant Star, using Infinite Light to guide the evolution path of all Constant Stars, illuminating every corner of the cosmos.

This guidance for all Star Spirits to re-derive Constant Stars to illuminate the great multitude resulted in great merit, making this Great Power the first to comprehend the mystery of the Saint Realm, breaking through in cultivation, becoming the first Saint Dao mighty figure of the current era.

And this Great Power was just the beginning.

Soon, another Great Power found some remnants of Cosmic Oddities at the edge of the cosmos, combined them with materials collected to cast a Supreme Immortal Device, and refined two Supreme Treasures, using them as support to master the power of destruction and birth, similarly stepping into the Saint Realm.

This was another path to achieve the Saint Realm for a Great Power.

His appearance brought much greater shock than the birth of the first Saint Realm.

And the third Saint Realm...

Even more astonishing.

This Saint Realm was originally just a Great Immortal Venerable.

Not even a Great Power, just a Great Immortal Venerable equivalent to the Fifteenth Rank.

Moved by the endless battles among species in the cosmos and the complexities of all living beings, even with the calamity hanging overhead, the top experts of these species had to fight bloody battles for the continuation of their species.

Thus, in order to promote a great unification among the cosmos’s species, she used the Human Clan’s Innate Taoist Body as a basis to create the Transformation Technique.

Any species that cultivates the Transformation Technique can truly transform into human form.

This human form is neither simulated nor illusionary but fundamentally changes their structural form to possess a genuine Innate Taoist Body like the Human Clan.

Once this Transformation Technique is spread out, it can be foreseen that in the future the Human Dao will flourish greatly, ushering the cosmos into a brand new era.

By virtue of this merit, this Fifteenth Rank Great Immortal Venerable directly completed the leap to Great Power stage, stepping into the Saint Realm in one go, becoming the third Saint Dao mighty figure in the world.

The birth of three Saint Realm mighty figures, combined with the breaking of the Three Thousand Tao Ancestors’ shackles, made the entire cosmos seem to enter unprecedented prosperity.

One whale falls and all living beings thrive.

Freed from shackles, cosmic beings develop rapidly in complete freedom.

Especially as the two cosmos fuse quickly under Gu Jinlai’s impetus, elevating the potential of this cosmos infinitely.

A perfected cosmos with an astonishing upper limit made it easier for people to comprehend and glimpse higher realms.

Numerous Saint Realm mighty figures emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth...

Within a hundred epochs after the fall of Three Thousand Tao Ancestors and when the Dominator Gu Jinlai faded from sight, the number of Saint Realm mighty figures directly broke through to double digits, reaching a remarkable ten.

During this period, different Saint Realms also gradually differentiated into strong and weak.

People called those who had just broken through the Saint Realm, Saint Realm First Layer.

The Three Thousand Tao Ancestors, which were once insurmountable and invincible in their eyes, were now touched by those who broke through to the First Layer of the Saint Realm limit.

Thinking back carefully, the Tao Ancestors, while still strong in their current view, were no longer strong to the point of despair.

It seems as long as they continue to grow, there is still a chance of victory.

Thus, they categorized the Tao Ancestors in Saint Realm Second Layer.

As for the great Dominator who single-handedly crushed the Three Thousand Tao Ancestors, bringing a new era and hope to the cosmos...

He was revered by everyone as Saint Realm Third Layer!

From then on, the entire cosmos transitioned from the previous Dominator era to the Saint Realm era!

They further used the epoch when the tenth Saint Realm was born as the anchor point, calling it All Saints Era·Primordial Era.

...

All Saints Era·2023 Era.

Xuanhuang Star Domain...

It is now no longer called Xuanhuang Star Domain but Lingxiao Star Domain.

Because...

The very first power created by Gu Jinlai, the Lingxiao Palace, is located in this star domain.

Although compared to the Changqing Sect and Evergreen Hall, the Lingxiao Palace has always seemed unremarkable, as the first power created by Gu Jinlai, the development of the Lingxiao Palace over the years cannot be described in any words.

Even if the location of this power is not particularly favorable, far from the cosmic center—the Thirty-Three Heavens, countless cultivators still come to apprentice, study, and admire the ancient sites.

Moreover, over the years, no less than eighty if not a hundred Daluo Golden Immortals have emerged from the Lingxiao Palace.

Such a top-tier power is considered the greatest and most magnificent existence in the entire universe.

Not to mention in the remote Xuanhuang Star Domain.

At this moment, a battleship is passing through various checkpoints and reviews, entering the Longevity World.

More than two thousand epochs have passed, and the Longevity World has changed greatly in many places, but most regions still retain their original appearance.

After the battleship arrived, it directly reached the area where Qiantian was located and docked at Star State.

Cultivators appeared one after another from the battleship.

Most of these cultivators have a cultivation equivalent to the Profound Immortal Level, with a few outstanding ones and the leader reaching the Golden Immortal Realm.

However, whether Profound Immortal or Golden Immortal, they were all carefully restraining their energy fluctuations at this moment, fearing that a careless move could cause terrifying celestial phenomena, destroying many of the buildings maintained for more than two thousand epochs in this world.

Once everyone landed, a Golden Immortal soon led them to the "former site" of the Lingxiao Palace, smiling as he served as a guide: "Ladies and gentlemen of the Changqing Sect, here is where our great Sect Master, the supreme Dominator, practiced when he was young. It was here that the Dominator established the Lingxiao Palace and formulated the oldest cosmic order, which has been heavily revised and developed to gradually become the universal rule of the universe today..."

As he introduced, he led everyone to visit the buildings and some items once used by Gu Jinlai.

Such as the Mystic Bird Fighting Machine, Cheng Ying Mecha, various Dao Artifacts, and so on.

In the distance, even the silhouette of a Ruins Beast appeared like a mountain.

However, at this time, not to mention the war machines and mechas, even the Ruins Beast, which was considered taboo by the living beings of the Longevity World back then, did not even have the qualification to be taken seriously by the disciples of the Changqing Sect.

At most, just for novelty.

In addition to these items, the Golden Immortal also led the group to visit some Devils.

The number of Devils is not large, and their levels are mainly ordinary Devil and Great Demon, with the number of Demon Kings being extremely rare.

Beside the Devils, there are many text descriptions explaining the famous Devil battles in Qiantian’s history.

Like the Battle of Baihe, the Battle of Tianhai City, the Battle of Gourd Valley, the Battle of Mu State, and so on.

In the crowd, a girl with ice-like skin and jade-like bones continuously observed the Lingxiao Palace, her eyes filled with disappointment: "Is this the ancestral land where our Changqing Sect originated? It looks so small, so shabby, so old, and the construction materials are just the most ordinary marble and green steel stone, not even immortal materials. I feel I could accidentally sneeze and topple the whole palace."

"Caidie, don’t speak nonsense."

Another girl quickly pulled her: "Moreover, you shouldn’t think this way at all."

"But it’s true, this palace is hardly any different from human creations, nothing special about it. Fortunately, I don’t practice the Creation Dao; if I did, I could create dozens of such palaces in no time."

The girl known as Caidie said.

"How can it be the same?"

The girl looked at this ordinary building that seemed to lean towards human style and said: "The more ordinary this palace is, the more it testifies to the greatness and legend of the Dominator. We are born in a good era, able to easily surpass the stage of refining essence into energy cultivation. But the great Dominator was different; in his era, people initially were just fragile flesh. Even an ordinary beast could take their lives."

Her eyes flashed with admiration: "In such a harsh environment, the great Dominator was able to rise step by step, creating the great power of the Changqing Sect and Evergreen Hall in the cosmic starry sky. Today, he has become the only Dominator in the universe, commanding all immortals and saints to submit... At this moment, the contrast between the peak of the universe and the mundane palace even more highlights the Dominator’s greatness and legend."

"This..."

Caidie didn’t know how to reply for a moment.

"If you were born with the initial stage of refining essence into energy cultivation in such a perilous, Devil-infested world, especially with a fearsome Divine Calamity outside the world watching like a tiger, do you think you could lead the Lingxiao Palace to rise to the pinnacle of the Longevity World, and even to the cosmic starry sky like the great Dominator?"

The girl said.

"The early stage of refining essence into energy..."

Caidie shivered slightly at the thought of this scenario.

"It’s not in vain that we preserved these buildings, for the little girl to understand this."

At this time, a voice came through.

Then, an old man who looked seventy or eighty years old appeared, carrying a wine gourd, strolling along leisurely.

Upon seeing the elder, the Golden Immortal serving as a guide quickly stepped forward to salute: "Grandpa Xin."

The elder waved his hand, indicating that he needn’t be bothered, then continued speaking to the girl: "What’s your name?"

The girl, seeing even the Golden Immortal saluting the elder and knowing his extraordinary identity, quickly responded respectfully: "Yun Rou greets Senior."

"Haha, so young and already at the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Realm, with the potential to become a Golden Immortal. Work hard in your cultivation, I hope to see you achieve Golden Immortal, and even enter the Great Luo Heaven to become a Daluo Golden Immortal one day."

Saying this, the elder maintained his unhurried pace and wandered away.

After he had left, someone couldn’t help but quietly ask: "Who is this senior?"

"He is Xin Tianqi, the most reliable assistant of the great Dominator during his mortal period, who once acted as the Lingxiao Palace Master."

The guide Golden Immortal introduced with respect.

"Senior Xin!? Isn’t he already ascended to the Great Luo Heaven and become a Daluo Golden Immortal?"

A true inheritor among the Golden Immortals couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice.

"After becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal, the old man didn’t wish to enjoy his life in the Great Luo Heaven. He willingly returned to the Longevity World to live in seclusion. According to him, his lifelong goal was to witness such a peaceful scene."

The guide Golden Immortal glanced in the direction Xin Tianqi disappeared: "And now... he is fulfilled... this prosperous age, as he wished."

Finally, he seemed to think of something and spoke with reverence: "Also, as that great person wished."
