Chapter 637: The Battle of the Last Years of the Immortals

Xu Hongchen is a true immortal with three flowers... Li Qing, Fatty Hei, and Su Rong were all shocked. Xiao Shuzi had never known that his ancestor had such a big background.

He is also the last monk in Immortal Ancient who has three flowers...

“I wonder how many petals the senior flower has bloomed?” Su Rong tried.

Ancestor Hongchen looked at it leisurely and said: "The flower has twenty-one petals, the first two Dao flowers have nine petals, and the last one has only three petals."

“The natural calamity is difficult to overcome, and I don’t know how many geniuses have been buried. Compared with the geniuses of all ages, I can be considered astonishingly talented. However, in order to survive the natural calamity, I sacrificed my own foundation and responded to the calamity with a three-petal Taoist flower.”

“But even so, the disaster was extremely dangerous. I almost died that year.”

Li Qing's eyes were solemn. Did even a strong man like Xu Hongchen almost fall after surviving the catastrophe of the three-petal Dao flower?

 The thicker the foundation, the greater the intensity of the heavenly tribulation... He is a nine-petaled Taoist flower.

Xu Hongchen is not ranked among the top ten in terms of strength among Li Qing's Immortal Inscription Realm opponents who have defeated them all, but he is still very high.

“The only person I admire is Liu Sanbian. His flower blooms with three flowers and twenty-seven petals. There is no one before or after.” The ancestor of Hongchen said in a deep voice.

"What about you?" Ancestor Hongchen looked at Li Qing, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "When your stem changed, did you intentionally compromise your foundation, or maybe you didn't have enough resources, and the third stem didn't reach perfection."

“No, I have sufficient resources, and the three flower stems I planted are all nine knots high.” Li Qing replied honestly, not hiding anything.

The Xu Hongchen in front of him was a living being who had survived three tribulations of heaven, earth and man. This was a great opportunity to gain experience.

Except for Xu Hongchen, Li Qing was afraid that he would never encounter other three-tribulation creatures. If he had Xu Hongchen's guidance, he would not need to watch other virtual immortals go through the heavenly tribulation.

 Strictly speaking, the calamity of one or two Dao flowers blooming is of little reference value to Li Qing.

Hei Fatty and Su Rong were not surprised when they heard that Li Qing had cast three immortal veins and had three flowers. They had already suspected it.

"It's a pity that your road is over." Ancestor Hongchen sighed, "The calamity of three flowers is unimaginable in intensity. You can't survive it. You should leave some room for the third flower stem. There is no way to save it. "

　　"Didn't Liu Sanbian survive?" Li Qing boasted that he was no weaker than Liu Sanbian.

Ancestor Hongchen said: "I don’t know what happened to Liu Sanbian, but he definitely did not respond to the disaster in a normal way, otherwise he would have died physically and spiritually."

“Strong as Liu Sanbian is like this, all other creatures are the same.”

 “When your stem changes, if you lose your foundation, there is still a chance.”

Li Qing was puzzled and said: "The three tribulations of heaven, earth and man are meant for living beings to overcome. What is the meaning of existence if the tribulation cannot be overcome? Human tribulations and earth tribulations are also difficult, but they can be overcome. The natural tribulations must also be overcome. It can be crossed!”

Fatty Hei also said: "Calamity is a training for monks. It is a training that requires death. There is no need for it at all."

 “The will of God is unpredictable!” The ancestor of Hongchen stared at the sky, and his voice was as rich as a bell, “The monks have survived three tribulations of heaven, earth, and man, and the entanglement of cause and effect is all guided by God’s will.”

“The so-called tempering is nothing but a lie. The tribulations only accumulate tribulation energy for the blooming of the flower of the avenue. The tribulations themselves will not enhance the monk’s magic power or increase his foundation.”

“It was God’s will that sent down a catastrophe that exceeded the extreme level, so all the practitioners could not survive it.”

“The thicker the foundation, the stronger the unlimited catastrophe, so there are less than ten creatures with three flowers in Immortal Ancient.”

Li Qing cupped his hands and said, "Can the True Immortal show me the scene of overcoming the heavenly tribulation in the past? My path has been decided, and I will have to overcome this heavenly tribulation sooner or later."

"Yi Er." Ancestor Hongchen waved his hand, and saw the surrounding scene changing, and the few of them seemed to have returned to the ancient times.

There are clouds of calamity forming in the sky, and a Taoist is crossing the calamity under the clouds.

The Taoist is the Xu Xian Xu Hongchen.

 …

Thunderbolt fell, destroying the sky and the earth, annihilating everything.

 “It’s so scary!” Su Rong lost her voice. She could feel that Xu Hongchen in the Virtual Immortal Realm was far more powerful than her, but in the tribulation thunder, he could only struggle to hold on and was about to fall at any time.

"If this calamity falls on me, if I am contaminated even a little bit, I will die." The fat black man was afraid.

At this time, Xu Hongchen was still relatively middle-class. Facing the stranglehold of heavenly calamity, he shouted: "If the sky wants to kill me, I will go against the sky!"

Xu Hongchen survived the catastrophe, and the immortal marrow played a great role. Without the immortal marrow to heal his injuries, he would not have survived.

The ancestor of Hongchen said: "The intensity of the heavenly tribulation is also affected by the number of flowers of the avenue. The intensity of the heavenly tribulation encountered in the first tribulation is greatly different from the heavenly tribulation encountered in the third tribulation."

“In the past, I overcame human tribulations, earthly tribulations, and finally the heavenly tribulations. It would be easier if I chose to go through the heavenly tribulations at the first moment of the flower.”

“I heard that when Liu San changed to Hua Bian, he passed through the heavenly tribulation in the second tribulation.”

"Thank you for your guidance, True Immortal." Li Qing flashed the whole scene of overcoming the tribulation in his mind. He initially planned to overcome the heavenly tribulation in the second tribulation, but the disaster was unintentional. Now the human tribulation is halfway through.

 The best news is that Lee Sin has no shortage of immortal essence.

The ancestor of Hongchen collects the Dharma, and the scene of the heavenly tribulation disappears.

“Let me tell you what is going on in the different heavens of the Immortal Heritage now.” Ancestor Hongchen asked the three of them.

Su Rong is familiar with the history of immortals and recounts the major events of ten million years as well as the recent wars between immortals and foreign lands in detail.

The ancestor of Hongchen shook his head: "The situation has reached this point, and the final battle has begun in a foreign land."

Fatty Black asked cautiously: "I don't know why my senior chose to sleep in the world of mortals. Judging from his hatred of foreign lands, he must be willing to fight to the death with foreign races instead of avoiding war."

Ancestor Hongchen’s momentum suddenly changed, and he talked about some ancient secrets, and said quietly: “Who said I didn’t participate in the war? It was a battle in the last years of Immortal Ancient. It was still late for me to become enlightened, but I will be there in every battle!”

“Back then, the foreign race suddenly appeared and broke through the three heavens. I resisted with a group of true immortals. I once blocked an ancestor from a foreign land by myself and was unable to compete.”

“Later, it was really unstoppable, so Fang retreated all the way, causing the fifteenth level to be lost.”

“When the aliens attacked the sixteenth heaven, all the powerful men from the fourth heaven on the Immortal Relics moved into action.”

“That battle was so dark that the six heavens were shattered. The foreign lands were defeated. The foreign tribes were killed to the point of being routed. The ancestors of the foreign tribes either died or fled.”

 “That battle was really exciting!”

 Speaking of the battle in the last years of Immortal Ancient, the ancestor of Hongchen was radiant and powerful.

 Li Qing, Fatty Hei, and Su Rong were all excited when they heard Ancestor Hongchen talk about the war in the last years of Immortal Ancient times. Ancestor Hongchen was a person who had witnessed the war!

 Neither Fatty Hei nor Su Rong have read this period of history.

Li Qing was curious: "So, although the aliens in the last years of the Immortal Ancient were strong, they were far from the Immortal Relics. After winning the war, why not take advantage of the victory to pursue, conquer the lost territory, and completely annihilate the aliens."

“In that battle, I saw the true nature of Immortal Relics, which is unparalleled. Liu Sanbian didn’t even participate in the battle, but he killed the aliens and defeated them.”

The ancestor of Hongchen explained passionately, but his tone immediately turned cold and sighed: "I have unparalleled talent, but my strength has not yet matured at that time, and I have not been exposed to strong people like Liu Sanbian. I don't know why it happened."

“The strong men of the fourth heaven, after fighting against the aliens and shattering the sixth heaven, returned to the fourth heaven one after another. Some said they were injured and needed to recuperate before fighting again in the future.”

“The battlefield was different at that time. I blocked an ancestor from a foreign land alone, but I felt that I could still fight, or at least regain most of the sky.”

"I don't understand why I stopped chasing the aliens... I became disheartened and lived in seclusion in the world of mortals. After a few years, I fell asleep directly."

Ancestor Hongchen mentioned a kind of strange soil called burial soil. This soil can make a true immortal sleep for an extremely long time. Ancestor Hongchen’s lifespan is indeed longer than that of an ordinary true immortal, but it has not reached the point of immortality.

 …

“What a pity!” Xiao Shuzi sighed when he heard that in the last years of the Immortal Ancient Period, the Immortal Relics had defeated the foreign tribes but did not take advantage of the victory to pursue them.

Li Qing, Fatty Hei, and Su Rong all felt itchy in their hearts, wondering what would have happened if the Immortal Relic had fought all the way into a foreign land.

 Is it to completely wipe out the alien race, or to attract a stronger existence from the depths of the alien race, and then be severely damaged?

 Unknowable and unanswerable.

Li Qing didn't realize that the strength of the foreign race was hidden back then, and it was completely unnecessary.

 Perhaps the strong men who reached the fourth heaven back then were really severely damaged and needed a long time to cultivate.

This experience of Ancestor Hongchen also allowed Li Qing to understand Ancestor Hongchen’s attitude towards the three of them. Ancestor Hongchen was obviously a true immortal with a righteous heart, regardless of cause and effect.

Fatty Hei said: "The fourth heaven is still sealed. As long as it is unsealed and the strength of the Immortal Ancient is revealed in the last battle, there will be no problem if the Immortal Legacy defeats the alien race."

"It should be." Ancestor Hongchen had personally experienced that battle and spoke highly of the Fourth Heaven.

Su Rong was excited. She saw that as long as she cultivated for a period of time and the Hongchen Ancestor's cultivation level recovered, he would probably become the strongest true immortal in the fourth heaven.

"There should be some ancient immortals who are sleeping like our predecessors, right?" Su Rong tried again.

"Perhaps, but I don't know about the situation of other Taoist friends. Back then, a group of true immortals were disheartened and left without contact." Ancestor Hongchen said casually.

He looked at Li Qing again and said, "Lin Fusheng, you have extraordinary talents, and the catastrophe is difficult to overcome, but everything has a glimmer of hope. God's will blocked the way, but in the end, a creature like Liu Sanbian emerged."

"You may not have the chance to find that glimmer of hope and survive the most difficult disaster."

"If you can prove to be a true immortal, your fighting power will surpass that of my old man, and you will be of great use against foreigners."

"How is your human calamity energy accumulated?"

 “There’s still a lot left, just over halfway.” Li Qing said.

"You have cut off part of Gu Tian's Taoist body, and you have received a blow from me, and you are still so far behind..." Ancestor Hongchen muttered: "I'm afraid your background will not be much weaker than Liu San's."

“On the road to human tribulation, you may have to kill a true immortal to survive.”

“Can the virtual immortal attack the real immortal? It has never been heard of since ancient times. There is no such existence.” Xiao Shuzi said.

"If not, then break him," Li Qing said casually: "Besides, there is Liu Sanbian ahead."

 “Have courage!” Ancestor Hongchen laughed: “Since we have cast three immortal veins and require three flowers with twenty-seven petals, we must have the courage to go forward and kill the true immortal.”

“I have a method that I can teach you. I got this method from a mysterious ancient Immortal Immortal. It may be helpful to your future path.”

  “The name of this method is the Secret of the Great Dao of the Red Dust.”
