Chapter 1629: Chapter 372:

Although the Hundred Peaks Sect has many masters and obtained relics’ treasures, it is ultimately still a sect. What if the Hundred Peaks Sect fails its tribulation?

Even if the Hundred Peaks Sect was only a sect before, without many resources, even if they failed the tribulation and others charged into the sect, they likely couldn’t seize many resources.

Moreover, more Great Teachings believe that the Hundred Peaks Sect will not fail the tribulation, so this time, not many major factions of the Demonic Sect went to the Eastern Wasteland.

And those from the Righteous Path’s major sects did not come in large numbers either, since few from the Demonic Sect came, naturally fewer of them came too.

Although Cao Zhen has been setting up formations, he can also feel that the celestial energy within the Hundred Peaks Sect is continuously reducing.

Clearly, the sect’s tribulation is truly approaching.

And with the help of Bei Yan and Ruo Yun, he finally finished modifying all of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s formations ten days before the sect’s tribulation arrived.

“It’s time to create two more avatars.”

As soon as Cao Zhen returned to the Hundred Peaks Sect, he imparted the spell for avatars to Xiang Ziyu, whose mastery of the spell continuously improved through cultivation.

“With my current strength, and Xiang Ziyu’s spell level, I can only create two avatars. However, I had already created one avatar before.”

Cao Zhen frowned, thought for a moment, and decided to self-detonate another avatar.

“The sect’s tribulation is imminent, and everything should prioritize it. If I can gather two more avatars, they may prove useful during the tribulation. As for the other avatar, let it self-detonate by itself.”

With this thought, Cao Zhen concentrated his mind, and the avatar that had stayed outside the Fourth Dangerous Terrain began to exude a chaotic and growing aura, exploding with a thunderous roar in an isolated mountain cave within moments.

The moment the avatar exploded, Cao Zhen felt a sweet sensation in his chest and spat out a mouthful of red blood.

“Indeed, the explosion of an avatar can cause a backlash to me as well, but fortunately, that avatar only possessed the strength of the Golden Core Stage, so its explosion didn’t affect me much.

However, the subsequent avatars I will create will be different.”

Under the cultivation of that little rascal Xiang Ziyu, he can now create not just one but two avatars, whose strength can reach the Longevity Period.

Of course, they are just the weakest type that has just entered the Longevity Period.

Cao Zhen concentrated and began to gather mana.

Prior, when he gathered an avatar of the Golden Core Stage, it was swift, but this time, creating two avatars of Longevity Period strength took him six hours.

Soon, two identical avatars appeared by his side, one on the left, the other on the right.

Although they only had early Longevity Period power, and the immortal mountains they conjured were only ten zhang tall, a Longevity Period is still a Longevity Period.

“Moreover, generally, even typical ten zhang or even fifteen zhang immortal mountains cannot rival these two avatars. They are my avatars, with the same spells and spell level as I do!”

After Cao Zhen created two avatars, his own immortal mountain’s altitude also fell, he no longer remained at the utmost limit of the Longevity Period, but it didn’t matter; he hadn’t lain down for quite some time since reaching the Longevity Period’s peak.

His disciples had all broken through to the peak of the Longevity Period, and when he circulated his disciples’ cultivation techniques again, his immortal mountain could continue to grow.

As various cultivation techniques began to operate, his immortal mountain also changed once more. Previously, his immortal mountain’s highest peak had reached a hundred zhang in height.

But as he exercised his cultivation techniques, the other peaks atop his immortal mountain began to rapidly rise, and Cao Zhen’s aura also surged frantically, growing stronger and stronger.

In just one night, Cao Zhen had already returned to the peak of the Longevity Period.

“This era is still not too good. The highest an immortal mountain can reach in the Longevity Period is a hundred zhang in height, but everyone’s immortal mountain is different. Even if both immortal mountains are fifty zhang tall, the gap in strength could be vast between the two.

For example, if both immortal mountains are fifty zhangs high, but one has just a solitary peak while the other boasts numerous mountains, clearly the one with the many mountains wields far greater power.

Therefore, theoretically, the Longevity Period shouldn’t have a limit. For instance, when the immortal mountain reaches ninety-nine zhang, instead of increasing its height, the surrounding mountains’ number and heights are increased, thereby boosting overall power.

Yet, perhaps no one would do so. Not to mention whether one could gather other mountains around their immortal mountain’s main peak, even if they did, would they dare cultivate?

The immortal mountain represents the future path of cultivation, who would dare meddle with it!

It seems that only in my situation would one dare to continuously expand their immortal mountain.

But the issue is, after I raised the heights of the other peaks, I suddenly can’t lie down and continue elevating, and my main peak immediately reached the ultimate height of a hundred zhang.”

Cao Zhen sighed and muttered to himself, “Perhaps only when the intrinsic strength allowed by the Heavenly Dao increases after the Indestructible Period awakens, will I have the opportunity to elevate the other mountains again.

Speaking of which, why does the Heavenly Dao have a Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth period? Why, after the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth ends, does the strength allowed by the Heavenly Dao slowly increase again? Why does the Heavenly Dao do this?”

Cao Zhen suddenly thought of a CPU; could it be that the Heavenly Dao is akin to a CPU, constantly running and then starting to heat up, requiring a period to cool down, but it cannot stop entirely, for if it were to stop, perhaps there would be no Heavenly Dao in the world.

Therefore, it needs to compress power to a certain extent, perhaps below the Earth Immortal Realm? So that the Heavenly Dao’s consumption is reduced, effectively allowing it to rest?
