Chapter 872: The Passage to Immortality
Yunjiang Dragon Palace.

Zhou Qing had been chatting with the Dragon King and the Dragon Queen for a while, and received their care and advice.

Although these two people met Zhou Qing only a few times, they cared about Zhou Qing sincerely.

The relationship between Zhou Qing and Ao Xuanwei is obvious, and Ao Xuanwei is their most beloved child.

The Dragon King and the Dragon Queen are of course also friendly with Zhou Qing, they are a family.

Zhou Qing had also told them in detail about the matters concerning Haizhou.

"Haha."

The Dragon King laughed non-stop, "The Black Dragon King and Long Xingkong were both killed by you. The West Sea Dragon Palace and the Tianlong Gate must be furious."

He was really happy about this.

He escaped from the Dragon Palace in the West Sea when he was young, and then grew up. The Dragon King of Yunjiang has been an enemy of these two forces for hundreds of years.

Although they managed to maintain the Yunjiang Dragon Palace with difficulty, they could only be said to be defending their territory.

Now that Zhou Qing has killed two hostile Heavenly Realm enemies in one fell swoop, Yunjiang Dragon King can be said to be very pleased.

Of course, there is also the shock in one's heart.

The last time I saw this future son-in-law, he was just in the Earth Realm. Now that he has returned, he has actually killed the Black Dragon King of the Qingwei Heaven Realm.

When the Dragon King and the Dragon Queen heard this news from Ao Xuanwei, they thought their daughter was hallucinating because she missed Zhou Qing too much...

After repeated confirmation, I finally believed that this thing was true.

It’s not that outrageous!

The Dragon Queen of Yunjiang said in a gentle voice: "You killed those two people, which was earth-shattering and awe-inspiring. But in the future, you must be wary of the West Sea Dragon Palace and the Tianlong Gate to prevent their revenge."

"Yes." Yunjiang Longjun nodded and said:

"If you have any questions, please contact me immediately. No matter who wants to take revenge on you from the West Sea Dragon Palace or the Tianlong Gate, let them get past me first."

Zhou Qing smiled, "I have already told the temple master about this matter. I don't think the West Sea Dragon Palace will dare to retaliate."

At this time, Ao Xuanwei walked in from outside. After hearing Zhou Qing's words, she also smiled and said:

"With your current strength, I'm afraid that only the West Sea Dragon King himself can deal with you, or a celestial being from the West Sea Dragon Palace can attack you with a magical weapon."

"Otherwise, the revenge of others will probably be of no use."

If we count the four seas dragon palaces separately, each of them is a top-notch sect, and all of them are suppressed by immortal weapons.

"If they really dare to do this, then I will have no choice but to ask the temple master and Senior Mingsheng to go to the West Sea."

The Dragon King said with disdain, "West Sea Dragon King, you are a coward, you don't have such courage."

This generation's West Sea Dragon King is of the same generation as Yunjiang Dragon King. The two knew each other in the West Sea Dragon Palace when they were young.

However, later on, Yunjiang Longjun's lineage was persecuted, and his elders fought desperately to give him a glimmer of hope, allowing him to escape from the West Sea.

After that, the two dragon kings embarked on different lives.

Long Jun asked Ao Xuanwei, "Have you made arrangements for Fellow Daoist Fuyun?"

Ao Xuanwei sat next to Zhou Qing and answered at the same time:

"Well, Senior Fuyun is touring the Dragon Palace."

Taoist Fuyun was very perceptive. After getting to know the Dragon King and the Dragon Queen, he took the initiative to ask for a rest first so as not to disturb Zhou Qing and the others.

However, Zhou Qing knew that Taoist Fuyun was curious about the dragon clan, so he asked Ao Xuanwei to find a guide for him to take a tour in the Dragon Palace.

Ao Xuanwei looked at Zhou Qing with bright eyes.

"You are really capable. Not only did you advance to the Yu Yu Heaven Realm, but you also brought back a friend from the Daluo Heaven Realm."

"Daoyou Fuyun and I always help each other. I was able to return from this exile in another world thanks to his help."

"It's luck for both of you that you can meet in other worlds."

Long Jun praised, then turned to remind Zhou Qing.

"Zhou Qing, the Dragon King of the West Sea will definitely bear a grudge against you for killing the Black Dragon King. He will not attack you personally, but he is not the only one in the West Sea Dragon Clan who has condensed the Immortal Appearance."

"Who else?"

Zhou Qing was very cautious. The most well-known immortal masters in the ocean were the four dragon kings, but those who really understood knew that this was definitely not the entire strength of the dragon clan of the four seas.

With the bloodline and heritage of the dragon clan, and the wealth of the four seas, and the Dragon Emperor to consult, how is it possible that only the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas have condensed the immortal appearance.

"I also know a person called Qingjun, who has also condensed the appearance of an immortal, and is much younger than the Dragon King of the West Sea."

Yunjiang Dragon King said solemnly, "Qing Jun's origin is mysterious, and he is also in seclusion in the West Sea Dragon Palace. I have met him before, but we have never fought. I am not sure which clan he belongs to."

As he spoke, Yunjiang Longjun waved his hand and a portrait appeared.

It was a figure dressed in green, with an ordinary face and dull eyes. The only obvious feature was a green crystal embedded in the tip of his eyebrows.

"Is this the Qing Jun?"

"it's him."

Yunjiang Dragon Lord added: "After condensing the immortal form, although it has not surpassed the heavenly realm, it is still significantly improved. If you encounter it, you must be careful."

"However, with your cultivation speed, it won't be long before you can condense the Immortal Form. These are some of my experiences in cultivation. They record all my insights into condensing the Immortal Form. You can take a look at them in your spare time. Perhaps they can be of some help to you."

Yunjiang Dragon King took out a scroll of bamboo slips and sent it to Zhou Qing using his magic power.

Zhou Qing was moved. He took it with both hands and immediately felt a warmth on the bamboo slips.

This is……

Lingming bamboo?
Zhou Qing was a little surprised. Lingming Bamboo is a kind of treasure. Holding a piece of it during cultivation can help one keep the mind clear and free from distracting thoughts. It is very precious.

But now, it is used by Yunjiang Dragon King to record his experience in cultivation.

Because this experience deserves to be treated seriously.

The perception of condensing the immortal appearance is something that countless people in the heavenly realms desire but cannot obtain. Countless people in the Daluo heavenly realms throughout history have dreamed of having such an perception.

"This is too expensive."

Yunjiang Longjun smiled and shook his head, "We are all family, so why should we talk about how valuable it is? As long as it can be useful to you in the future, that's enough, just accept it."

Having said this, Zhou Qing no longer refused and put away the scroll of spiritual bamboo slips.

"Zhou Qing, your talent is rare in the world. I think it will be no problem for you to reach my level in the future. You may even have some hope of surviving the tribulation and becoming an immortal."

Yunjiang Dragon Lord said: "Except for Xi from the Phoenix Clan, you are the one who is most likely to take that step."

"But now it seems that this statement needs to change."

Yunjiang Longjun's opinion is also the view currently recognized by the world.

In this era, Xi who possesses the Nirvana Bone is most likely to become an immortal, followed by Zhou Qing who has shown natural talent.

Whether Xi's performance since his practice is better or worse than Zhou Qing's is not the point for now.

Among the younger generation who have the greatest chance of becoming immortals, Xi is able to surpass Zhou Qing and is considered to have the greatest chance of becoming immortal, mainly because of the Nirvana Bone.

There is no way. According to the legend, Nirvana Bone is destined to ascend to heaven, and Emperor Sui is a living example. It would be more accurate to say that the world recognizes Nirvana Bone rather than Xi.

If Zhou Qing also had Nirvana Bone, he would definitely be more favored than Xi.

But that was all in the past. Zhou Qing had been missing for several months, and when he returned he was already in the Yu Yu realm, and he also killed the Black Dragon King of the Qing Wei realm.

This kind of talent and performance is truly terrifying.

When the news of Haizhou spread, Nirvana Bone...

It’s not impossible for Zhou Qing to press him down.

This is also why Yunjiang Longjun said that this statement needs to be changed.

Zhou Qing said modestly: "I haven't even achieved the Daluo Heaven Realm yet. I'm still far from becoming an immortal. I still need to work hard."

"No need to be humble."

Yunjiang Dragon King smiled and said, "I only hope that before I pass away, I can see you truly take that step."

If he could see that day, Yunjiang Longjun would feel completely fulfilled.

In forty or fifty years, can one become an immortal?

Zhou Qing felt that it wouldn't take him that long.

Although he is humble in words, he is as confident as anyone else.

"I dare not talk nonsense about overcoming the tribulation and ascending to immortality, but Zhou Qing, condensing the immortal appearance is crucial. Remember not to be careless at this step."

Yunjiang Dragon Lord advised: "Even if you stay in the Daluo Heaven Realm for a longer time, you must accumulate more and strive to condense a sufficiently perfect and powerful immortal appearance."

"This is a step I will never regret."

"I understand."

Zhou Qing nodded, "I will definitely go all out and try my best to accumulate deeper knowledge."

Beyond the heavenly realm is the fairyland. There is no other realm in between, and there is no such thing as quasi-immortal or half-immortal.

The immortal form that Zhou Qing and the others were talking about was not a realm, it could be said to be a prelude to becoming an immortal. After surviving the catastrophe and becoming an immortal, one would transform into an immortal body.

When martial arts lead to immortality, the physical body is sublimated into an immortal body, and when the soul ascends to immortality, it is naturally the soul that is sublimated into an immortal body.

At this point, some extreme cases may even not need a physical body or soul. When the immortal body is refined, the physical body or soul can be directly transformed into the origin and integrated into the immortal body, becoming one.

However, many immortals in the history of Xuanhuang Realm would not do this unless they encountered an accident.

Because doing so will increase the difficulty of subsequent tribulations and make the tribulations more powerful.

If one retains the physical body or the soul at the same time, it is possible to possess dual immortal bodies.

When you reach the fairyland, the relationship between the soul and the body will change further. If you can possess two fairy bodies, it will be a great advantage.

There are two requirements for transforming into an immortal body.

One is to condense the immortal appearance, and the other is to successfully overcome the tribulation.

After condensing the immortal form, let the immortal form be combined with the soul or the physical body, and then go through the immortal tribulation. These are all the steps from the heavenly realm to the immortal realm.

Three steps, it sounds simple, as easy as putting an elephant in a refrigerator.

It's just really difficult...

The tribulation of becoming an immortal is the process of refining the immortal body.

In this process, the immortal appearance and soul or physical body are tempered by the immortal tribulation, gradually undergoing fundamental transformation and sublimating towards the immortal direction.

If successful, then one will naturally escape from the mortal world and become one of the immortals.

If it doesn't work, there is no other way except death if you fail to overcome the tribulation.

Perhaps in a powerful sect like the Divine Court, if a practitioner fails to survive the tribulation the first time, there is still a possibility of a second or even more tribulations, but in today's Xuanhuang Realm, to survive the tribulation and become an immortal is a matter of life and death.

The so-called condensation of immortal appearance is a more interesting step.

Logically speaking, condensing the immortal appearance and overcoming tribulations to ascend to immortality should be done in one go.

But the fact is, after condensing the immortal appearance, it is not necessary to trigger the immortal tribulation. Whether to go through the tribulation is up to the practitioner himself.

After some practitioners have condensed the immortal appearance, they are still unsure about overcoming the tribulation and becoming immortal, and they have a clear understanding of their own strength and foundation.

To endure the tribulation is tantamount to seeking death.

As a result, many people in the Daluo Heaven Realm stopped after condensing their immortal form, because they did not want to seek death.

This led to the emergence of a group of strange Daluotian realms in the world.

In terms of realm, they have indeed not surpassed the heavenly realm.

After condensing the immortal form, as long as it is not united with the physical body or soul, the power of the immortal form will not be fed back to the physical body or soul. If it is united, one must prepare for the immortal tribulation and cannot delay any longer.

The soul or body of an immortal is also at the level of Daluo Heaven Realm.

The appearance of an immortal is not a change in the body or soul, but the embodiment of your understanding of the immortal way.

But in terms of real strength, the Immortal Appearance is ultimately the key to the next step. After they master this key, they can use the power of the Immortal Appearance in daily battles.

With his own realm plus the power of the immortal appearance, the strength that can be exerted is indeed beyond the Daluo Heaven Realm, and the gap between the two is quite large.

Therefore, completing the step of condensing the immortal appearance cannot be called a quasi-immortal or half-immortal, because the soul and body have not undergone any transformation, they have just mastered an additional power.

After all, this is the prelude to becoming an immortal, the first step.

According to the normal sequence, immortal phase - overcoming tribulation - becoming immortal/death, this should happen continuously and should not stop at the first step. However, because many people are not sure about overcoming tribulation, it stops.

There is actually no point in stopping at this step after condensing the immortal appearance.

Because the immortal appearance has been formed and cannot be changed, no matter how many years you stay at this step, the immortal appearance you condense will be the same as it was at the beginning.

There is no such thing as me first condensing the immortal appearance, and then feeling that I am not confident of surviving the tribulation, so I stop and continue to polish and perfect the immortal appearance.

Once the immortal appearance is condensed, it cannot be changed. Only the accumulation before the immortal appearance is condensed can affect the immortal appearance.

Just as Yunjiang Dragon Lord said, this step must be taken with no regrets, and one will never regret becoming an immortal.

When Zhou Qing reaches this step in the future, he will surely be able to accomplish it in one go, condensing the immortal appearance, overcoming the immortal tribulation, and refining the immortal body, all in one go.

No matter how long you stay at the Immortal Stage, it is a waste of time, because you will not be able to become stronger no matter how long you stay there.

At most it will add some experience to the use of Immortal Appearance, making you more proficient.

However, the fear of death and the dread of failure in overcoming the calamity ultimately make most people choose to stop at the immortal stage.

People like this will basically choose to fight for their lives when their life span is about to run out. If they succeed, everyone will be happy. If they fail...

Anyway, my life span is about to end, so it’s not a loss to die while surviving the calamity.

This is what the Black Mountain God is like.

Unfortunately, basically no one can really stay in the immortal stage for a lifetime and then successfully overcome the tribulation when trying their best.

There is no regret in achieving the immortal state. Many things are already destined when you condense the immortal state.

But in short, because after condensing the immortal form, one can choose whether to go further down, this world does have a group of celestial realms with combat power exceeding the Daluo celestial realm.

They are the strongest group below the immortals. The Dragon King of Yunjiang and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas belong to this group.

Of course, there are also forces like Xuandu Temple and the Academy of Saints.

Not only in the Xuanhuang Realm, according to Taoist Fuyun, the Taiyi Realm is the same, and there are even more people who stop after condensing their immortal appearance.

It is difficult to become an immortal, it is difficult in any world.

On the contrary, the middle realm like the Wushen Realm did not stop at the Immortal Stage.

In the concept of the middle realm divided by the Divine Court, it is the world where one is about to ascend beyond the heavenly realm.

After the practitioners from various intermediate realms have condensed their immortal appearance, they cannot stop. This power that transcends the heavenly realm does not allow them to remain any longer, and they can only choose to unite and transcend the calamity.

At the very least, one has to be a practitioner in the great world before one can choose to get stuck.

At the same time, this is also the reason why quasi-immortal weapons generally do not appear.

Condensing the immortal appearance is the embodiment of the perception of the immortal way. The soul or the body will not transform, your realm is still the Daluo Heaven Realm, and your natal weapon will not receive any new feedback, so it is naturally still at the level of a top-grade heavenly weapon.

You can condense an immortal form, but your natal weapon cannot, so it certainly won't be improved as a result.

If a natal weapon wants to be upgraded to an immortal weapon, it can only be possible after being tempered during the immortal tribulation.

If you don't go through the tribulation, your natal weapon will never be upgraded. This is an iron rule.

The calamity of becoming an immortal is not only about refining the immortal body, but also about refining the immortal weapon.

When a cultivator goes through tribulation, his natal weapon must also go through tribulation and be tempered and transformed in the tribulation. Only in this way can an immortal weapon be created.

This is a more advanced and also the only successful way of refining equipment, Immortal Tribulation Refining!
Even if a cultivator wants to refine other immortal artifacts after becoming an immortal, there will be an immortal calamity specifically targeting that artifact.

Not only artifacts, but all spiritual things that want to be upgraded to the immortal level must go through tribulation.

Only after crossing it can it be transformed into an immortal weapon, and immortals cannot interfere.

The calamity of becoming an immortal is a tribulation, but it is also a blessing. If the tribulation is not enough, then the blessing will not be complete. In the end, even if the artifact successfully survives the tribulation, it cannot become a true immortal artifact.

This is the biggest reason why immortal weapons are difficult to produce.

It's okay for your natal weapon, at least you and it can survive the tribulation together. As long as you succeed, it will surely advance. But after becoming an immortal, if you want to refine other immortal weapons, you can only rely on the weapon itself to withstand the test...

Just think about it and you will know that it is difficult.

Moreover, the transformation of a natal weapon into an immortal weapon does not require immortal materials, but if a non-natal weapon wants to be transformed into an immortal weapon, then its foundation must be immortal materials!

How hard is it to find magical ingredients?

Due to so many difficulties, there is almost no immortal in the Xuanhuang Realm who has the ability to refine extra immortal artifacts.

Even if you find immortal materials, you should focus on your own immortal weapon, which is the most important thing.

And once you fail to survive the tribulation, your natal weapon will naturally be severely damaged or even directly destroyed.

Normally, when a person in the Daluo realm dies at the end of his life, his natal celestial weapon can still be passed down.

But after the immortals fought to the death, most of them died and their weapons were destroyed.

That's why when the Yun family took out a quasi-immortal weapon, it shocked everyone and was beyond everyone's expectations.

Quasi-immortal weapons are usually created by immortals who interfere with the refining of other immortal weapons during the process of tribulation, resulting in the artifact not being fully refined but not destroyed. This, combined with a bit of luck, leads to their accidental appearance.

The chance of producing a quasi-immortal weapon using this method is very small, not to mention other situations.

The Black Mountain God failed in his tribulation but managed to create a quasi-immortal weapon. Many people who got the news still don't understand the principle and don't know how he did it.

This was a situation that should not have happened, and it caught those who had coveted Black Mountain off guard.

No matter which world you are in, whether it is a living being, an object, or anything else, if you want to become an immortal, the calamity of becoming an immortal is necessary and cannot be circumvented.

Although this calamity is terrifying and feared like a tiger, and the possibility of surviving it is extremely low, it is also a true blessing.

Whether you can swallow this good fortune depends on your personal ability.

Zhou Qing is not far from this step now, and it is almost time to make relevant preparations.

Especially the immortal appearance. What kind of immortal appearance you have will determine what kind of immortal body you will eventually have.

The immortal appearance is the beginning of everything, the most crucial step!
