CHAPTER 1101: CHAPTER 341: "EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN PATH.

After a long time, Chen Qiu did not linger in the "Tidal Immortal Realm," but instead returned to the "Taunting Heaven Palace."

It was quite clear.

This time, the "Heavenly Immortal Tribulation" was delayed, postponed until the "True Immortal Tribulation," which undoubtedly was not in accordance with the process. But since it has already happened, there’s no need to say anything further.

Let it be delayed if it wants, anyway, as long as breakthrough can be achieved now.

...

Returning once again to the "Taunting Heaven Palace," Chen Qiu did not immediately enter seclusion, but instead squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the blue vortex in his hand, formed by countless tiny blue dots, which slowly rotated continuously.

This was the new cultivation method he obtained after breaking through to Heavenly Immortal.

"Heavenly Realm!"

The blue vortex in his hand was, in fact, a miniature world. Those countless blue dots were actually a condensed version of the "Fusion Kill Move;" this was the Heavenly Realm.

By concentrating countless "Fusion Kill Moves" together, it forms a large-scale, high-damage strike.

The higher the grade of the Fusion Kill Move, the greater the power of the "Heavenly Realm."

The higher the grade of the Heavenly Realm, the greater the area it covers.

The Heavenly Realm of an ordinary cultivator can only cover a large city at most, but he can easily, with a mere thought, cover half a continent, with the coverage area entirely subject to his will.

This is the Heavenly Realm!

With a mere thought.

Chen Qiu had already flashed and appeared within nihility; after obtaining the black entry "Void Walking," he was fully capable of moving freely within nihility. However, he had never done so before.

This was his first appearance in nihility.

He looked at the Taunting Heaven Palace beside him, felt the extremely dense and exceedingly turbulent spiritual energy within nihility, took a deep breath, and felt no stinging sensation. This was the effect of "Void Walking."

A moment later.

He tentatively threw out the "Heavenly Realm" in his hand.

However—

As soon as his Heavenly Realm left his hand, it fizzled out. The 219-grade "Heavenly Realm" burst out with no brilliant fireworks, extinguished right away. Clearly, such attack strength was not enough to survive within nihility.

He shrugged without saying a word; forget it, perhaps experiment again next time when there’s an opportunity. He originally wanted to see the power effect of the "Heavenly Realm."

Standing personally within nihility, he could truly feel the vastness of nihility. With one glance, there were no reference points around; only blinding strong light filled his vision, easily making every direction hard to discern and leads to loss of sense of direction.

No one knows.

At any moment, what sort of Heavenly Dao Shackles from some continent might appear before him next, or perhaps a chance encounter, or disaster.

This is the characteristic of nihility.

Like a solitary person traversing a vast, boundless ocean, they search for opportunities amid solitude and danger. Many strong individuals enjoy exploring within nihility; in the past, the Chao Tian Sect voyage teams resolutely ventured into nihility, embarking on this nearly-certain death journey.

Actually, if at that time the Chao Tian Sect had settled within the "Taunting Heaven Palace," a significant number would likely have survived; after all, a lifespan of thirty thousand years should not be difficult for an Immortal Emperor.

Even Heavenly Immortals have a lifespan of twenty thousand years.

Indeed.

After breaking through to Heavenly Immortal, he could clearly sense his lifespan maximum raised to twenty thousand years. As a Heavenly Immortal, if not encountered with disasters, he could live long enough. Twenty thousand years nearly amounts to living equivalent to the heavens.

This cultivation level is already the endpoint for many Heavenly Prides.

One can protect their family for tens of thousands of years, witnessing the clan’s birth to rise, and if lucky, even its decline.

"Phew..."

Chen Qiu did not dare to stray too far from the Taunting Heaven Palace, nor stay too long in nihility, before returning to the "Taunting Heaven Palace." He worried he might, due to some factor, suddenly end up far away from the Taunting Heaven Palace and become thoroughly lost in nihility.

Although he could sense the Taunting Heaven Palace, too great a distance would leave him helpless.

And in nihility, endless unexpected events occur constantly; no one knows what will happen next, everywhere there’s serendipity, also everywhere there’s crisis.

After returning to the Taunting Heaven Palace.

He sat cross-legged on the plaza, operated his mental method, and started cultivation. Lately, his cultivation progress had increased too quickly; his foundation was beginning to float too much to stay stable. He needed some time to settle his cultivation.

...

A month later.

Chen Qiu slowly opened his eyes, looked toward the two large, fruit-bearing trees within nihility, and grinned. It was time for harvest now.

The first batch of fruits from his trees had all ripened.

They brought him nearly a thousand top-grade spirit stones and several hundred Spirit Fruits, which could boost cultivation progress by 10%.

"Not bad."

He nodded with satisfaction; if he could also have a Spirit Fruit that bore the seven-colored term, that would be wonderful. But certainly, that’s a bit fantastical.

His cultivation had not fully settled despite this month of cultivation; it was estimated he’d need eleven more months.

After all, this time he’d increased too much cultivation at once, going from crossing tribulation to Heavenly Immortal within less than a year.

Without settling, the foundation would float.

...

Time flew by.

Three years had already passed.

Chen Qiu sat cross-legged on the plaza of the Taunting Heaven Palace, surrounded by shattered spirit stones, a large Spirit Gathering Array working for him. The Taunting Heaven Palace already had dense spiritual energy, combined with a Spirit Gathering Array made up of top-grade spirit stones, the density of spiritual energy there had thickened to liquid.
