Chapter 717 - 61: Situation in Gouchen

The Saintess returned from the Abyss and headed toward Earth Heaven with the people of the Lix Mountain Dao Lineage. The Lix Mountain Dao Lineage is considered a hidden Dao Lineage, and its base is located in Earth Heaven.

Earth Heaven is considered the most peaceful among the Five Heavens and faces relatively less pressure from the Abyss, mainly due to the presence of many hidden Dao Lineages within it, as Shen Fei had heard.

It is the place with the most neutral forces among the Five Heavens.

Time flowed by, and before long.

A good news came from Blue Star: apart from Luo Ran becoming a True Immortal, Yin Qian also broke through to a True Immortal. As long as they are tank-type Professionals, they have found a path to becoming Human Immortals.

During this period,

Shen Fei gained a lot of understanding about Profound Immortals.

If becoming a True Immortal requires refining one’s own Dao, then a Profound Immortal embodies the Dao, according to the records in the Human Emperor Palace.

Those in the Human Emperor Palace above True Immortal levels have all achieved Profound Immortality through the Fire Cloud Heavenly Grotto by condensing their own Dao Seed and planting it in the Fire Cloud Grotto.

The power of the Fire Cloud Heavenly Grotto can then nourish the Dao Seed, allowing it to become one’s Dao.

Thus, the key to becoming a Profound Immortal actually lies in the tier of the Grotto Heaven, which is why, for instance, when auctioning the Moon Phase Fragment, it needs to be fused to a certain tier before becoming a Profound Immortal.

However, Shen Fei does not need to worry at all.

His Divine Court is gathered with numerous Summoned Beasts, apart from the rest, Chi You’s Grotto Heaven is the Fire Cloud Heavenly Grotto, capable of accommodating Taiyi.

In fact, for Shen Fei, there will be no restrictions, at least not before Taiyi. However, for Shen Fei, he intends for other Summoned Beasts to continue enhancing as well.

Moreover, the stronger the Grotto Heavens of other Summoned Beasts, the stronger his condensed Divine Court becomes.

Nevertheless, Feng Yi had already made preparations and informed him that Grotto Heavens need not be identical; similar ones can also merge, though this requires time to harmonize.

Feng Yi, himself, mastered the technique of deduction, and upon advancing to Taiyi, his skills have reached a new height.

He is quite attentive to Shen Fei’s matters.

Shen Fei recalled Artemis’s mention of the Moon God Fragment; ever since he arrived in Gouchen Heaven, his connection with Artemis has not weakened.

Though it is mostly through rather secretive means.

The fall of Huang Jun’s avatar has significantly impacted the Eight Great Abysses, with the counterattacks being much fiercer than before, forcing the defensive line to retreat once more after being pushed forward.

The ferocity of the assault was apparent to Shen Fei, as evident from the heavy consumption of elixirs, to the point where even the Human Emperor Palace required them, indicating the disparity.

However, this was precisely to Shen Fei’s liking; as long as battles persisted, he could rapidly enhance, though currently, he was level 160.

Now, slaying Human Immortals provides minimal experience, while anything below yields none.

The once rapid enhancement of his powers now slowed considerably, even more so than before, though Little Pu proposed a rather effective method.

That involved continuously capturing Abyssal Creatures, letting them fight amongst themselves in the Grotto Heaven to raise beings to Human Immortal levels.

Among Abyssal Creatures, this was feasible.

Naturally, besides the Fire Cloud Heavenly Grotto, numerous Summoned Beasts feverishly captured Abyssal Creatures into the Grotto Heaven, allowing Shennong to refine elixirs that incited mutual slaughter.

Letting them constantly devour and hunt each other, while Little Pu and Stabbing Immortal once again headed to the Void Battlefield, as many Professionals were sharing the Abyss here.

The Void Battlefield largely focused on defense, so they could always unleash to their heart’s content in every engagement.

At that moment.

Shen Fei once again performed a triple Summoning Spirit on past Saintess’s entries such as [Double Sixes, Great Smoothness], [Three by Three, Attain the Dao], [All Transformations Saint Technique], and [One Thought, a Flower Blooms].

Materials not found in the Taiyi Dao Lineage could be exchanged at the Human Emperor Palace, thanks to his higher privileges.

Taking advantage of the increasingly fierce assault from the Eight Great Abysses, Shen Fei profited heavily, making it easy to exchange for materials of the Human Immortal level.

But he heard the situation in South Pole Heaven was not looking good, due to the Abyssal Passage of the Undying Phoenix Race.

Currently, South Pole Heaven needed to deal with dual battlefronts simultaneously.

The territories expanded earlier with Chi You’s assistance were now retreating by nearly half again.

As they had to allocate part of their efforts to the Abyssal Battlefield of the Undying Phoenix Race.

And at this juncture, the favorable situation in Gouchen Heaven once again brought Shen Fei into the limelight. If it wasn’t for the Taiyi Dao Lineage, Shen Fei would still be on their side.

The various Dao Lineages of South Pole Heaven had no choice but to make large purchases of elixirs from the Human Emperor Palace. Due to the warfare in Gouchen Heaven,

the previously unlimited purchases have now become restricted, causing great discontent among the Professionals of South Pole Heaven.

Even Jiang Xue was sent by the Taiyi Dao Lineage to plead, but was turned away by Ji Yanling without ever seeing Shen Fei.

Shen Fei didn’t mind, his relationship with Jiang Xue wasn’t that deep.

Time slowly passed; another half a year went by.

The warfare in Gouchen Heaven grew increasingly fierce with Gouchen Heaven holding the upper hand, even as battles between True Immortals and Profound Immortals surfaced openly on the battlefield.

Profound Immortals were manageable,

but due to Chi You and others, once a stalemate prevailed, the Dao Realm found itself at a disadvantage.

With Chi You and company joining the battles, individual True Immortals were no match; a single slash from Chi You would annihilate a True Immortal,

garnering them great fame.

Though they were both True Immortals, Chi You and the others wielded terrifying power; any battle involving them against other True Immortals would end swiftly.

An advantage quickly snowballed downwards on the True Immortal battlefield.

Also, an array existed within Gouchen Heaven, with arrays able to gather True Immortals strong enough to injure Profound Immortals, while the extra True Immortals shifted the battle even further among the Profound Immortals.

There were even Profound Immortals attempting to bypass Gouchen Heaven’s Profound Immortals to kill Chi You and others, but with Jasper Pool sensing danger at all times,

not to mention Chi You himself was guarded by the Human Emperor Palace, any attempt by too many Profound Immortals, even Golden Immortals, to kill them would be thwarted.

This allowed Chi You and his group to almost turn the Eight Great Abysses upside down, and the settlements they established also became forward bases.

Due to the situation in South Pole Heaven, someone in Gouchen Heaven voiced concerns; however, Feng Yi quickly stated that any further actions akin to Taiyi Dao Lineage’s would result in the Human Emperor Palace directly withdrawing from Gouchen Heaven.

Previously, such weight from the Human Emperor Palace would merely be a cause for consideration among various Dao Lineages, but now, Feng Yi’s evident support for Shen Fei, with his Taiyi cultivation, meant significant implications.

This immediately silenced many voices, and before long, the Saintess returned, now officially a True Immortal of the Lix Mountain Dao Lineage.

Additionally, the Saintess brought along good news, having mastered a method to enhance the ’Nine Emperors Grotto Heaven.’

By merging any nine Grotto Heavens and using the ’Nine Emperor’s Law’ to infuse them, they could sustain a Profound Immortal.
