Chapter 642: Strength of the Middle Stage of Mahayana
Ye Changsheng stood up and walked outside. After walking out of the palace, he found that the palace was actually built on a sturdy tree that was a thousand feet tall.
The giant tree was glowing with five-colored light all over, and endless power of the five elements was drawn from the void space of heaven and earth, pouring into the magnificent palace.
On the door of the palace, there was a huge plaque with the three words "Changsheng Palace" written in ancient characters.
The Xuantian Five Elements Tree supports the Changsheng Hall, and the Liangyi Tianguang Island supports the Xuantian Five Elements Tree.
Two Xuantian treasures, plus countless extremely precious materials, have created such a holy place for cultivation.
It was just that Ye Changsheng had already reached the Mahayana stage and his cultivation was too high, so the effect of this palace on him was not very obvious.
If it were someone else, a cultivator with a lower level of cultivation, practicing in this place, I'm afraid the progress would be so rapid that it would be hard to describe it as a thousand miles a day.
For example, when Wen Siyue was still in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, she only stayed in this palace for three days and successfully harmonized the five elements of energy and directly advanced to the Void Refinement Realm.
The rich vitality of heaven and earth in this palace is simply a holy place for those who are stuck at the bottleneck of refining emptiness.
Wen Siyue is in charge of various matters in the Hall of Longevity and does not have much time to spend on cultivation. However, even so, after she stays in this palace for a few days every month, she has now advanced to the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm.
If she could concentrate on her practice, it would not be impossible for her to advance to the late stage of Refining Void. And it has only been about two hundred years since she advanced to the late stage of Refining Void.
This is the terrifying part of this palace. Not only did Wen Siyue's cultivation progress rapidly, but Yin Yue and Bing Feng also broke through a small realm during this period of time and entered the middle stage of fusion.
Anyone who has come to this palace has gained huge benefits.
"One day, there will be more than a dozen, or even dozens of Mahayana masters emerging from this island, and this day will not be too far away!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself as he looked at the mountains and pavilions shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance.
Over the years, not only has his strength increased rapidly, but the people around him who are close to him have also made rapid progress. Almost everyone has seen a huge change in strength over the past few hundred years.
Today, there are five Mahayana masters on Tiandao Island: him, Linghuang, Tianfeng, Baohua, and Mingluo.
Among them, Baohua is a cultivator in the late Mahayana stage, Tianfeng, Ye Changsheng and Mingluo are all in the middle Mahayana stage, and Linghuang is in the early Mahayana stage.
Below the Mahayana there are the combined bodies of Ice Phoenix, Silver Moon, Fang Ying and Silver Light Fairy. Fang Ying and Silver Light both came in pursuit of Silver Moon, and now they have all joined the Hall of Eternal Life.
Among them, Liao Ying is a cultivator in the late stage of fusion, and the other three are in the middle stage of fusion.
In fact, there are more than just four cultivators who have achieved the state of fusion on Tiandao Island. Nangong Wan, Yuan Yao and others in that small world far outside the spiritual world have also advanced to the state of fusion, but they have not yet come out.
There are about a dozen or so cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage below them. Although there are not many of them, their origins are quite complicated. Currently, all cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and below are led by Wen Siyue.
From this cultivation structure, we can also see the biggest problem of the Hall of Eternal Life at present: the lack of core combat power.
Logically speaking, a force that can possess so many Mahayana masters must have at least hundreds or thousands of combined masters, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of refining masters.
But there is no such thing in the Hall of Eternal Life . Currently, most people’s cultivation is at the Jindan and Yuanying stages, and even the number of people who have reached the Shenhua stage is relatively small, only about one or two hundred people.
If we want to develop, there is still a long way to go.
But Ye Changsheng believed that before he left the spiritual world, the Hall of Eternal Life would definitely develop into a force that surpassed the Helian Merchant Alliance.
He had enough confidence in this and could achieve it even if he didn't spend much effort on it.
Now, under the leadership of Wen Siyue, the Hall of Eternal Life would select a group of young children with clean backgrounds and excellent physiques from all over the human race to join the Hall every once in a while.
After entering the Hall of Eternal Life, these people practiced peacefully all the way. When they reached adulthood, they were basically already in the middle to late stages of foundation building, or even in the Jindan stage.
Afterwards, they will be sent to do various chores, and after some training and tests, they will be able to obtain the resources to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Those who successfully enter the Nascent Soul stage will become inner disciples of the Hall of Eternal Life.
Afterwards, these people will be sent to the newly occupied lands to carry out various tasks to fight against the remnants of alien races. Those who can successfully survive will have the opportunity to advance to become gods.
After advancing to the God Transformation stage, continue to carry out tasks related to alien races. Those who perform well can get more resources and advance to the Void Refinement stage.
Only after advancing to the Lianxu stage can one become a true disciple of the Changsheng Hall. They will be fortunate enough to obtain various skills created by Mahayana beings, or even skills from the immortal world.
In the future, according to Wen Siyue's plan, these disciples of the Lianxu True Transmission will be sent to the Guanghan Realm in batches to explore and practice in this fragment of the fairyland.
Afterwards, if they can advance to the stage of fusion, these true disciples will have the opportunity to become elders of the sect, or practice peacefully within the sect, or be sent out to become local officials.
And those high and mighty Mahayana beings are naturally the supreme elders of the Hall of Eternal Life.
Of course, these are just Wen Siyue’s ideas, her design for the future structure of the Palace of Longevity. Now she is still far from that scenario.
After all, there are only a few cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage now!
Ye Changsheng was not very concerned about the development of Changsheng Palace. He was only responsible for conveying his ideas, and naturally there were people to help him complete the specific tasks.
At present, his most capable subordinate is undoubtedly the concubine Wen Siyue, who can always arrange everything he asks her to do properly.
And he only needs to reward Wen Siyue!
Now that he has advanced to the middle stage of Mahayana, Ye Changsheng's strength has been further enhanced. Now, even if he faces the likes of Great Elder Golden Dragon and Great Elder Heavenly Phoenix, he is no longer afraid.
Based on the information he had learned from Tianfeng before, Ye Changsheng had a rough idea of the strength of the great elder of the Phoenix clan.
The physical strength of that fire phoenix far exceeded that of an ordinary true dragon or celestial phoenix, and its magical power was as vast as the ocean, endless. In addition, its spiritual awareness and knowledge of the laws were also far superior to those of ordinary people, allowing it to fight against an early stage True Immortal cultivator who was not subject to any suppression.
If Ma Liang had not descended to the lower world, it could be said that this fire phoenix and that golden dragon would be the top combat forces in the lower world, and would be almost invincible.
As for the current Ye Changsheng , his physical body is only equivalent to that of an ordinary true dragon and phoenix. He cannot be compared with the fire phoenix and the golden dragon. His magic power is also slightly inferior.
As for his comprehension of the laws, he certainly could not compare with this old monster who had lived for millions of years. As for the Xuantian treasures, the Xuantian treasures possessed by the other party could not be worse either.
However, his strength can generally be compared with these two, because of his powerful spiritual consciousness and the mysterious treasure, the Book of Fantasy World.
To activate the Book of Fantasy World, one needs a powerful spiritual sense, and Ye Changsheng's spiritual sense happens to be much stronger than that of cultivators of the same level.
It was just like when he was in the early stage of Mahayana, he used the Book of Illusionary World to suppress Tian Feng and made him lose inexplicably.
Now, he can also use the Book of Fantasy World to suppress the power of the Fire Phoenix and the Golden Dragon, and bring them to a level where they can fight with him.
In other words, he is now roughly in an invincible position in the Xiaonanzhou interface group.
And when his physical body is further strengthened, he will not need to cultivate the seventh level of the Little Big Dipper Star Yuan Gong. As long as he reaches the sixth level, his physical body will be strong enough to surpass the Great Elder Golden Dragon and the Fire Phoenix.
By then, even without the Book of Fantasy World, these two would probably find it difficult to be his enemy.
“Now, my directions for becoming stronger are first, the physical body, second, the laws, and third, the pseudo-spiritual realm. If I can make some breakthroughs in these three areas and advance to the late Mahayana stage, even if Ma Liang is unsealed, I will be able to fight him head-on for a while!” Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
And if he goes one step further, when he cultivates the seventh level of Little Big Dipper Star Yuan Gong, he will be a mother of corn borers who is not bound by anything.
By then, he would be able to fight Ma Liang, who was not under any suppression, alone, and it would not be impossible to kill him.
“However, with my current strength, I still have to be careful when fighting the Mother of Stem Borers and Ma Liang. I cannot rush to the front line. But I can use these two guys to consume some people…” Ye Changsheng touched his chin, secretly thinking about something in his mind.
Although he is very confident in his current abilities, he still needs to be cautious when encountering something out of specification.
The Mother of Stem Borers in her prime, and Ma Liang in his prime, this level of combat power should not be able to appear in the lower world.
As strong as Han Li was, he was already invincible in the lower world before he ascended to the fairyland. After ascending to the fairyland, he was undoubtedly much stronger than he was in the spirit world.
But even so, Han Li, with his cultivation level of an early True Immortal, was still severely injured by Tao Yu, who was in the late True Immortal stage, and was forced to flee. He then lost his memory for three hundred years.
As a direct disciple of Jiuyuan Temple, Ma Liang's strength is much stronger than that of Tao Yu. Without being suppressed, it is no problem for him to kill all the people in Xiaonanzhou interface.
As for how to deal with such a vicious man, Ye Changsheng naturally had to have other plans and could not just rush up on his own.
Speaking of which, Ma Liang can actually be considered an excellent thug. As long as he is used properly, he may be able to achieve many goals.
After thinking for a while on the Xuantian Five Elements Tree, Ye Changsheng leaped and flew to the other direction of the island.
This is a very unique place on Tiandao Island. The spiritual energy in other areas is incredibly rich, but this place is different. It can be said to be filled with overwhelming demonic energy.
This is naturally the area where Baohua and Mingluo live. After the successful refining of Tiandao, Baohua used some special means to transform an area of Tiandao into the Demon Realm.
Ye Changsheng was also happy to see this transformation. After all, when he brought Zi Ling and others back from the Demon Realm in the future, he would still need a piece of Demon Realm environment for Zi Ling and others to practice.
Therefore, he was happy to see Baohua making such a transformation to Tiandao. Not to mention, Baohua's ability in this regard far exceeded that of others.
Perhaps it was because the Xuantianhua tree was the origin holy tree of the demon world, Baohua could use this tree to easily transform any place into the most suitable area for demons to practice.
After Ye Changsheng entered this area, Baohua and Mingluo who lived there immediately noticed it.
With a flash of light, two stunning women appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. Baohua was still the same as before, with black hair, white skirt, and standing barefoot on a giant pink flower.
Ming Luo was wearing a pitch-black armor, and her aura was even stronger. This woman's fighting power was not weaker than Qing Yuanzi's.
Baohua's aura became even deeper. Now she has recovered to the peak of her combat power. Although her injuries have not yet fully healed, her strength is no problem.
Moreover, after cultivating the pseudo-spiritual realm, her strength has reached a new level, and now she is truly comparable to top-level true spirits such as the True Dragon and the Heavenly Phoenix.
"Brother Ye has finally come out of seclusion. Wow, Brother Ye's current strength..." When Baohua saw Ye Changsheng appear, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
But when she took a look at Ye Changsheng's cultivation level, there was only shock in her eyes.
"Brother Ye has advanced to the middle stage of Mahayana so quickly?" Baohua asked in disbelief.
"Well, I gained something from my retreat. My cultivation level has improved a little!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
"Brother Ye, it's so easy for you to say that. With your speed of cultivation, I really doubt whether you don't even need to go through the first great heavenly tribulation of the Mahayana period, but go directly to the ascension tribulation?" Baohua said with shock in her eyes.
After a careful calculation, Ye Changsheng is only 2,100 years old now. He has been in the Mahayana stage for only 400 years, but his cultivation has risen to this level.
If he continues to maintain this speed, it will not be a problem for him to enter the late Mahayana period before the age of 3,000, and it is almost certain that he will enter the Tribulation Crossing period before the age of 4,000.
If this is true, it only took him more than two thousand years to go from the Mahayana stage to the Tribulation Crossing stage.
Is it true that he doesn't even have to go through a major heavenly tribulation, but directly faces the tribulation of ascension?
You should know that there is no bottleneck between the late Mahayana period and the Tribulation Crossing period. In the final analysis, the Tribulation Crossing period is still essentially a Mahayana cultivator.
Basically, as long as the magic power is cultivated to that level , one will naturally enter this realm. This realm is just a special state, referring to those people whose magic power has touched the limit of the interface and may thus encounter the calamity of ascension at any time.
In other words, as long as Ye Changsheng enters the late stage of Mahayana, he will definitely be able to enter the Tribulation Crossing stage in a very short time.
"Perhaps Brother Ye can really become the first person I have ever seen who successfully ascends to heaven!" Baohua said with a complicated expression.
"Fellow Daoist, this is too exaggerated. How is it possible for me to enter the tribulation period so quickly? If I don't accumulate more, I won't be sure that I can survive the tribulation of ascension!" Ye Changsheng said with a laugh.
Baohua shook her head upon hearing this, not making any comment, and asked, "Brother Ye, you are coming out of retreat this time, so you should be going to our Holy Realm, right?"
"Yes, it's time to put the trip to the Demon Realm on the agenda. I have come here today specially to invite the two fairies to go to the Demon Realm together!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
