Chapter 919: The Land of the Immortal God【Eight Updates】
The Immortal Great Tribulation caused a tremendous disturbance, leading many to seek out isolated places for the crossing.
When you are undertaking your tribulation, others naturally dare not intrude.
However, just after you've broken through, when your power is not yet stable and you are at your most vulnerable, a powerful immortal bursts in, seizing your immortal substance, all your flesh, blood, and soul.
Imagine, after such difficulty in breaking through, suddenly facing such a disaster, the hatred one might feel could rage against heaven and earth.
But the Enlightenment Book faced no such danger.
Within the Divine Martial Empire, he was personally protected by Chu Yuan, allowing him to face the immortal tribulation boldly and unafraid, and to let others witness his experience of the ordeal.
"The Enlightenment Book is about to break through to immortality."
The Book of Martial Arts, envious, had reached the fourth step but was still far from immortality.
Everyone was watching his breakthrough.
Boom, boom, boom! The terrifying thunderstorm descended, transforming into thirty-three calamitous tribulations capable of destroying heaven and earth, while Chu Yuan could ignore the Great Tribulation, the Enlightenment Book had to rely on his own strength to face it.
"There should be no problem with the Enlightenment Book breaking through to immortality."
Chu Yuan stood firm in the starry sky, watching as well.
The accumulation of the Enlightenment Book was too profound; he had once opened a book universe on his own, engaged in diligent cultivation within the Divine Martial Empire, and even obtained two immortal divine crystals.
His breakthrough now was the result of a gradual build-up, a natural progression when the time was right.
The Great Tribulation lasted a very long time, a good few days.
The Enlightenment Book looked like he might fall several times, but Chu Yuan knew that he could overcome it.
"That's the fluctuation of the Immortal Great Tribulation!"
Lu Qianfu, the Book of Martial Arts, Zhu Fengfeng, and the others had also reached the limits of the fourth step. Observing this kind of tribulation was immensely beneficial to them, prompting deep contemplation.
"Enlightenment, the power of immortality!"
The power of the Heavenly Tribulation infused his body, refining his immortal soul, bestowing upon him an endless lifespan.
And as he broke through, the divine tribulation also dissipated, his immortal power spreading out, adding one more being with an endless lifespan to the universe.
The Enlightenment Book, immortal at last!
"I have become immortal!"
Before the Enlightenment Book could get used to the realm of immortality, he respectfully bowed in Chu Yuan's direction, "Your servant thanks Your Majesty for your protection. Without Your Majesty, your servant could never have achieved immortality in this lifetime. But having become immortal, your servant will devote his life to the service of the empire, until his dying breath!"
He knew all too well.
His achievement of immortality, while certainly a result of his own profound accumulation, was largely aided by the Martial Emperor.
"Enlightenment Book, while I have indeed helped you, becoming immortal is largely your own effort, which is commendable. With the empire gaining another immortal, I have one more source of confidence for the future conquest of the Cosmic Sea."
Chu Yuan smiled.
Although he had the War God, the Lord of Prisoners, and the Executioner—three immortals under his command—
these three were suitable only for battle. The Enlightenment Book, with wisdom that reached the heavens, could plan the grand strategies more effectively for him.
Even the highest wisdom requires the support of strength.
And now the Enlightenment Book had that strength.
"Congratulations to Lord Enlightenment on becoming immortal!"
The Book of Martial Arts approached, filled with joy, as after all, they were all book spirits.
"Indeed, an immortal existence, a senior official of the empire."
Lu Qianfu also went to congratulate him.
"With another expert by His Majesty's side, the Enlightenment Book's strength lies not just in power but in the ability to enlighten; thus, the empire's strength will see an all-around enhancement."
Yao Ling'er and Luo Yueying, along with Shangguan Xian, appeared beside Chu Yuan.
"I am still far from immortality, nowhere near as profound as the Enlightenment Book," said Luo Yueying, frowning.
"The realm of immortality I will inevitably break through, as a citizen of the empire, I cannot rely on His Majesty for everything."
Lady Shangguan was also a proud individual. Now that Chu Yuan had become immortal, while they were still cosmic gods who would die after a cosmic cycle, they aspired to accompany Chu Yuan through cycles upon cycles, going on forever.
"Is Jiuyou about to become immortal as well?"
Lady Shangguan said to herself.
"With the cosmos in turmoil, everyone has a chance to achieve immortality."
Chu Yuan said with a smile, "Enlightenment Book, once you break through to immortality, the empire will host an Immortal Feast for you."
The Immortal Feast was not merely a celebration but also a declaration to the subjects that another formidable being had joined the ranks of the empire, invisibly boosting their confidence.
The Bone God also came to celebrate the Enlightenment Book's breakthrough.
However, after celebrating, he left immediately, saying he needed to go to the Bright Light Clan to help the Headmaster suppress an upheaval within the clan.
He also mentioned to Chu Yuan that if the turmoil in the Bright Light Clan proved too much for him to suppress, he would appreciate the Divine Martial Great Emperor's assistance.
Chu Yuan did not refuse.
Moreover, the breakthrough of the Enlightenment Book sparked a cultivation frenzy within the Divine Martial Empire. Lu Qianfu and the others went mad with their cultivation endeavors to reach immortality, clearly aware that only immortality represents the ultimate combat strength.
This was good.
The accelerated time of the Human Sovereign nations also provided them with ample time.
Time blinked by, and forty years had passed in the Divine Martial world.
"Your Majesty, I have received news that the exploration of the Immortal Time and Space is nearing its end. A Divine Immortal Land has appeared, where many immortals have gathered. There are even rumors that the Lord of Immortality might emerge within that Divine Immortal Land!"
One day, the Enlightenment Book reported to Chu Yuan.
"The Immortal Time and Space is finally coming to an end!"
Chu Yuan's eyes flashed with astonishment, sending divine lights piercing to the ends of heaven and earth as he said, "The end of Immortal Time and Space signifies the beginning of a cosmic war, a matter of great significance. Even the Lord of Immortality is not the most crucial part."
He had been exploring Immortal Time and Space since his time as a god of the world.
Now, even more, his cultivation had reached immortality.
"Yes, the Feathered Divine Dynasty is full of ambition, aspiring to become the cosmic overlord. Even more worrisome is the cunning and calculating nature of the Feathered Divine Emperor. It's impossible to predict his true power and the depth of his accumulated strength. Everyone fears being transformed by the Feathered Divine Emperor."
The Enlightenment Book said, "That's why we must also prevent the Feathered Divine Dynasty from reaping the greatest benefits this time."
"This is the reasoning, the Feathered Divine Dynasty remains the great enemy of the cosmos."
Chu Yuan said, "Come, accompany me to the Immortal Time and Space to see what is happening, Enlightenment Book. Record everything you see."
"I shall obey Your Majesty's command."
With a flash, they headed straight for the Cosmic Sea.
Undying Mountain.
Mysterious and eerie.
Chu Yuan looked up at the sky to see the Immortal Time and Space, imbued with abundant life force of immortality. The space was twisted, with many silhouettes flashing in and out.
"Enter the Immortal Time and Space directly."
Chu Yuan ordered.
He was fearless.
This time he knew that in the cosmos, many powerful immortals would come, even those from the Third Layer of heaven, yet he now wielded terrifying power—through the Gate of Curses, even immortals of the Third Layer would be wary.
The chaos inside the Immortal Time and Space was vast, but years of exploration had mapped out a correct path to enter.
Figures surged skyward, their power vast and intense, all of them immortals converging on this place.
"Your Majesty, that is the Divine Immortal Land. How bizarre!"
After reaching the core of Immortal Time and Space, the Enlightenment Book looked forward, equally astonished.
