Everlasting

In an instant, thunderous sword energy criss-crossed, and the enemy was killed in a flash of lightning and flint.

Two earthly immortals died one after another, and the expressions of all the demons changed drastically. The only four remaining Earth Immortals, Dzogchen, were at an absolute disadvantage facing everyone.

Seeing that it was impossible to do anything, the two Earth Immortal Dzogchen Demons and Taoist Zixuan immediately flew away. The opponents of Lord Pocauldron and Soul-Taking Fairy also escaped without any stop.

"Devil, where can I escape?"

Seeing all the demons fleeing for their lives, Lord Pocauldron still wanted to chase them.

But Chen Nianzhi stopped him and said with an extremely solemn expression: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We will go back to Xiqi Shen Yuanhai first."

Seeing this, Taoist Zixuan also nodded and said: "Now in the Abyss and Purgatory Sea, there are a large number of demons hunting us, and we can no longer stay."

Upon hearing this, Lord Pocauldron said nothing more and headed towards the Xiqi Shen Yuanhai with everyone.

This place is not far from the Xiqi Divine Abyss Sea. Not long after everyone fled, they arrived at the junction of the Youyuan and Xiqi Sea.

Just when they were about to leave, boundless black clouds swept in from the void behind them.

But I saw the black cloud sweeping across the sky and the earth, and finally turned into a big hand that covered the sky and suppressed the sun.

"not good."

Chen Nianzhi was slightly startled, and quickly activated the Duntian Shuttle to escape, but found that the void was vaguely stagnant.

Seeing this, Taoist Zixuan was even more shocked and said: "Quickly go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Zixuan emitted a dazzling light of thunder with a flick of his sleeves, and once again activated the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword to strike at the giant black cloud hand.

But such a blow was like a firefly in front of the black cloud giant hand, and was completely wiped out by the giant hand in an instant.

The giant hand of the black cloud was only blocked for less than a moment, and then it suppressed everyone with its boundless power.

Fortunately, in this moment of blocking, everyone had already crossed the border area and stepped into the Xiqi Divine Abyss Sea.

The giant black cloud hand stopped in front of Xiqi Shen Yuanhai, and finally slowly retracted it, transforming into a handsome man wearing a black robe.

But seeing his eyes gleaming coldly, he finally snorted and turned around to leave.

Until then, Chen Nianzhi and others who had been able to escape glanced at the departing figure and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"who is he?"

Chen Nianzhi opened his mouth and couldn't help but ask.

Taoist Zixuan turned pale, took a deep breath, and finally said: "The number one Immortal of the Demonic Way, the 'Black Cloud Demon Lord' who is ranked third on the Open Heaven Ranking of Qingcang Immortal Domain."

"Black Cloud Demon Lord?"

Chen Nianzhi frowned slightly. Following Taoist Zixuan's narration, he had a certain understanding of the Black Cloud Demon Lord.

This Black Cloud Demon Lord is the first person in the Hell Abyss Purgatory to be immortal. It is said that he once stepped into the forbidden realm, and he is at least the supreme demon king who opened up the tenth heaven.

Such a supreme demon has reached the pinnacle of talent and talent among earthly immortals.

"If nothing else happens, this Black Cloud Demon Lord has already cultivated three types of Taiyi foundations, creating the foundation of a perfect immortal in one fell swoop."

Taoist Zixuan spoke eloquently, with an extremely solemn look on his face.

Chen Nianzhi also frowned slightly. At his level, he naturally had a clear understanding of the foundation of the Perfect Immortal.

With just two Taiyi foundations, you can only cultivate to the middle stage of Tianxian in the future.

But those who can cultivate the three Taiyi foundations can cultivate to the Great Perfection of Immortals, and even hope to reach the realm of Daluo. The gap between the two sides is almost insurmountable.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but ask: "This Black Cloud Demon Lord has cultivated three types of Taiyi foundations, why doesn't he break through to the realm of heavenly immortals?"

Taoist Zixuan shook his head, and then said: "Because the path of demon cultivation is different from that of immortals like us."

"oh?"

Chen Nianzhi was stunned for a moment, then he saw the Taoist Zi Xuan saying: "All the laws of heaven and earth, all the ways in the world, can be attained. Demonic cultivators pay attention to the great power attributed to oneself, and most of them will not advance to the small universe of the cave."

"If you want to understand this, you have to understand that the path of cultivation in ancient times is different from today."

As Taoist Zixuan narrated, Chen Nianzhi gradually understood why the Black Cloud Demon Lord did not break through to the realm of immortals.

It turns out that at the beginning of ancient times, the methods of cultivation are different now.

A long time ago, when the Three Thousand Immortal Realm and the Infinite Universe first opened, the heaven and earth were filled with the Qi of the Open Sky, and even the Innate Qi was not uncommon.

At that time, as long as the ancient gods found the Qi of the sky, the Qi of the innate world, and the immortal spiritual light of the innate world, they could open the shackles of the immortal body, laws, and Tao fruits, and cultivate all the way to the realm of Daluo.

And those innate saints are born with "innate immortal aura" and "innate spiritual treasure". As long as they reach adulthood, they can set foot in the realm of Daluo.

At that time, the realms were divided into different realms, and they were called gods, divine kings, heavenly gods, and great gods, which corresponded to the four realms of Dengxian, Earthly Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and Daluo today.

It can be said that at that time, there was no ground-breaking cultivation system. As long as you had enough talent and understanding, plus key resources, you could continue practicing.

By the end of the ancient times, the innate Qi and the Opening Qi in the Immortal Realm were gradually exhausted.

The demons, humans and other acquired beings find that after they have reached the realm of immortality, their way forward is completely cut off.

The human race, demon race, and even all the races of heaven and earth, who are innate beings, will never be able to set foot in the realm of open heaven throughout their lives.

Compared with the gods who were born and raised on earth, as acquired beings, they have almost no chance of further advancement.

In the ancient times, the Sun God Emperor established the Ancient Demon Court, led all races to rise up against the gods, and created an extremely domineering method.

This method is called the Heaven Seizing Technique. It can seize the creation of heaven and earth, and can refine the innate origin of the gods into oneself, thereby opening one's own acquired shackles, thereby breaking through the realm of divine kings and gods.

But such a method, in essence, still does not deviate from the original path of cultivation.

At the end of ancient times, the human race rose from its humble beginnings. As the weakest acquired race among all the races in the Immortal Realm, it was no longer possible to go any further after cultivating to the level of immortality.

In order to find a way forward, countless sages of the human race came one after another. After seventy-two generations of sages, they continued to learn from the cultivation paths of various races, and finally explored a road to the sky.

Without the spirit to create heaven, the sages went to create heaven and earth.

Without innate Qi, the sages opened up the innate universe, and the bodies of future heavens gathered in the Supreme Cave Heaven to counteract the innate Qi.

Without the innate immortal aura, the sages went to break the nine heavenly barriers and used earth-shattering means to condense the innate immortal aura and open the shackles of the Great Luo Realm for themselves.

Facts have proved that this path transcends ancient and modern times, and the Da Luo Jinxian who has been cultivated is far more powerful than in ancient times.
