When the 30 years were up, Qin Di returned to Ethereal Immortal Peak and advanced to the 2nd level of the Earthly Immortal Realm!
There were three conditions for an Earth Immortal to advance to the next level. First, there must be sufficient Spiritual Materials of the five elements — metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Secondly, he had to evolve enough nomological laws in the grotto-heaven stone. Thirdly, he had to guide enough immortal spirit veins into the grotto-heaven.
Qin Di had more than a hundred grotto-heavens in his possession, so he did not lack spiritual materials of the five elements. The nomological laws that he had comprehended were more than enough, enough for him to advance all the way to the Spirit Immortal level! As for the Immortal Spirit Meridians, he had already moved two of them when he first advanced to the Dao Integration Realm. After he advanced to the Earth Immortal Realm, his Grotto-heaven doubled in size and he guided two more Immortal Spirit Meridians from the Ethereal Immortal Peak and implanted them into his Grotto-heaven. Therefore, his foundation was very solid.
Every time he advanced, he would need to meet these three conditions. Not only did he need to replenish the five elemental spiritual materials and expand the laws of heaven and earth, he also needed to draw in an immortal spiritual vein. Only then would he be able to gradually expand the space within the grotto-heaven!
It was for this reason that cultivators who wanted to become Earth Immortals had to come to the Spirit Mountain. There were rarely so many immortal spirit veins in other places, which could not support the advancement of Earth Level Deities.
At the same time, it was also because of this reason that every time the Spiritual Tide surged, so many Spiritual Veins were born, and in the end, they were all used up by the Earth Immortals!
Qin Di recalled that back at the Sun Lake, someone said that cultivators were the cancer of the world. This analogy was very vivid. If Nascent Soul cultivators and Perfected Lord Bu Xu were cancer, then Earth Immortals were the biggest cancer of the primordial world!
He also remembered what the Spirit Cloud Palace's Sect Master, Zhang Chang, had said: If there were more than ten Small Worlds, the collapse of this world would accelerate.
Qin Di did not know if he was right or not. However, he thought about it. It was precisely due to the cycle of the Heavenly dao that the spirit tides were able to support the advancement of cultivators and the growth of Earthen Immortals. If a pocket world was used to lock up a high number of immortal spirit veins, the number of spirit veins that would be born during the next spirit tide would be greatly reduced. There were very few immortal spirit veins at the foot of the Spirit Mountain, let alone the lower reaches of the Skyspan River. Without spirit veins, how were cultivators supposed to cultivate?
Thinking of this, Qin Di's heart became heavy.
"Almost half of the two-thousand-year agreement has passed. What should I do if the Spirit Cloud Hall attacks us again? "
"Could it be that I really have to make a move and shatter the small worlds of other sects?"
"I'm an Array Refinement Immortal Master. It's not difficult for me to shatter the small worlds. But what about the Spirit Immortals hiding in the small worlds?"
"This is a conflict that cannot be resolved! Won't they fight me to the death if the small world shatters? "
"Apart from the Four Divine Sect, all the sects that own a small world are super sects! Will the Four Divine Sect be able to hold out against countless experts? "
After thinking about it, Qin Di felt very troubled.
"The other sects didn't provoke me, so I can't avoid the important and focus on the trivial. I can't let the Spirit Cloud Palace open and shatter irrelevant small worlds."
"If you want to resist, the only choice is to fight against the Spirit Cloud Hall! If the other party forced him into a corner, he would just destroy the small world of the Spirit Cloud Palace first! Humph, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have shoes. At that time, it will depend on whose Immortal Array is more stable and whose method of breaking the array is more brilliant! "
Thinking of this, he became more and more confident. He summoned several Earth Immortals, four hall masters, and several hall masters of important halls to discuss how to further stabilize the sect, so that it would not be completely destroyed by the Spirit Cloud Palace.
Not far from the Rejuvenation Valley's altar, there was a newly built Sect Master Hall.
Qin Di sat on the armchair in the hall and looked at the people sitting below. He said, "Everyone, tell me first, how much stronger is the Spirit Cloud Palace compared to us?"
Earth Immortal Jin Sheng Ying answered, "The Spirit Cloud Palace has more than 30 Earth Immortals and as many as seven Earth Immortals and above. Our sect only has seven Earth Immortals, and four of them have just become Earth Immortals. The Dao Integration cultivators and Perfected Lord Bu Xu of the Spirit Cloud Palace are much stronger than us. All in all, the other party is four to five times stronger than us. If we include the Spirit Immortal hiding in the small world, the difference between us might be more than ten times. "
The others nodded. "Uncle-Master Jin is right. A Spirit Immortal can take down at least ten Earth Immortals. Just the one hiding in the small world alone can completely destroy the Four Divine Sect! "
Qin Di said, "So, we have no chance of winning?"
The Earth Immortal Encompassing Sage Talisman said, "Not necessarily. It is said that Spirit Immortals are subject to the restrictions of the world. If they walk out of the small world, they can stay in the outside world for two hours at most. Right now, the crux is whether the other party can break through our rank 3 grand formation within two hours. "
At this moment, the hall master in charge of the Heavenly Secrets Hall, Guo Sheng, suddenly said, "Reporting to Sect Master, someone from the Heavenly Secrets Hall has infiltrated the Spirit Cloud Palace and sent important news."
"Oh, tell me, what news?"
"In order to appease the disciples, the Sect Master of the Spirit Cloud Palace, Zhang Chang, recently released news that the Spirit Immortal Zhang Lu hiding in the small world is in seclusion to advance. After he succeeds, he will attack the Four Divine Sect with an immortal artifact and destroy our small world in one go!"
Qin Di raised his eyebrows and said, "If the other party focuses their attention on the Immortal Mist Peak, then I'm not afraid. As long as we set up a few more rank 3 formations, we can stop them. I'm just afraid that they will launch a large-scale attack and send all the Earth Immortals and Dao Integration Stage cultivators to swarm up and destroy all of our blessed lands! "
The current Golden Core Hall Master, Zhang Shengche, bowed and said, "That shouldn't be the case, right? The spiritual mountain has a history of millions of years, and there has never been a precedent of the four great sects completely destroying the nine great orthodox sects. Aren't they afraid of incurring the wrath of the heavens? "
The people beside him shook their heads. "It's not safe to say that. After all, there has never been a precedent of the collapse of the spiritual mountain's heavenly pillar. Now that the primeval world is nearing the end of the world, the people's evil will gradually erupt. Who knows if the Spirit Cloud Palace can do something shocking? "
The Immortal Artifact Hall Master, Zhuo Shengzhou, frowned and said, "I heard that the Spirit Cloud Palace is the leader of the four great sects and has more than one immortal artifact. Once a Spirit Immortal makes a move, coupled with one or two rank 9 Earth Immortals, each armed with an immortal artifact, attacks the Four Divine Sect, then it's really unknown whether our rank 3 formations can withstand it. "
At this moment, someone suddenly sighed and said, "If only we could refine a rank 4 immortal formation!"
As soon as he said that, he was rebutted by a few people. "Wishful thinking! How can we refine a rank 4 immortal formation without the divine sense of a mid or late stage Spirit Immortal? "
There was also someone who looked at Qin Di with a hopeful expression and asked, "Sect Master, I heard that the Ancestral Master has already passed down the inheritance of a rank 4 immortal formation. I wonder if you can try to refine it now? If you can succeed, why would we be afraid of the Spirit Cloud Palace? "
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Qin Di, wanting to see what he had to say.
