Great Elder Qing Yangzi usually lived on the mountain peak, but his office was located halfway up the mountain. Because the mountain peak was a forbidden area, not every cultivator was allowed to go there. Moreover, he could come into contact with more disciples at the mountainside.
Qin Di followed the long-bearded Zu Xian up the path, talking to him along the way.
"Uncle-Master, what's your surname?"
"My surname is Jiang, my name is Jiang You. Hehe, do you know what Ancestor White Emperor's surname is? Let me tell you, his surname is Ying. Nowadays, many of the surnames come from this surname, such as Zhang, Yin, Liang, Sang, Qin, Tan, Xu, Huang, Li, Zhao, Xiao, Jiang … Haha, to tell you the truth, I, Jiang You, am also a descendant of Ancestor White Emperor! "
Qin Di praised, "Uncle-Master, you're actually a descendant of the White Emperor! Have you always been born here? "
Jiang You shook his head with a wry smile. "Of course not! I was born in the Golden Dog Galaxy. In the past, my father was just an ordinary mid-level Heavenly Immortal. He did not have the financial resources to build his own immortal arrays. Thus, I grew up in the local kindergarten in the Immortal Plane. Thankfully, my aptitude was not too bad. It was not easy for me to cultivate up to the Earthen Immortal stage and leave the kindergarten. Later, I worked outside, selling stones for a life materials shop while cultivating in the courtyard of the White Emperor's palace. I worked very hard, so I improved step by step. Unfortunately, my family was poor and my immortal foundation wasn't stable, so it took me three million years to finally enter the Zu Xian realm.
"Another ten million years passed, and I've been mediocre. Even now, I'm only a mid-stage Zu Xian. It's getting harder and harder to move forward, as if there's no path ahead. Fortunately, I'm content. Looking back, almost all my contemporaries are in the grave!
"Do you know why I'm guarding the gate? Because doing this has unimaginable benefits, I can see many heroic and vigorous youths, just like you, young and promising, like a newborn sun. If I can maintain my youthful nature, I might be able to live a few more years. "
Qin Di smiled. "Uncle-Master, you're only thirteen million years old? He was still young! Wasn't it said that even a First Order Zu Xian had a lifespan of thirty million years? You've only lived a third of your life. There's still a long way to go. What's there to worry about? "
Jiang You laughed. "It's not that I'm afraid of death, but that I'm still far from it. As a middle-ranked Zu Xian, he could live for at least forty million years. I just felt lost, couldn't find a way forward, and felt down for a while. Maybe after some time, when I think it through, my mood will be better. Qin Jin, I don't think you're lying. You should be the White Emperor's direct disciple. When you enter the White Emperor's palace, your future will be limitless. In the future, you'll have a meteoric rise and your skills will advance by leaps and bounds. Don't forget to support me! Even if it's just a few words of guidance, it's still very beneficial. This old man is very grateful. "
Qin Di chuckled and said, "Martial Uncle, you are too polite. I'm only a middle-ranked Celestial Immortal. I don't know when I'll be able to cultivate Zu Xian. Before that, I still need Martial Uncle to take care of me. "
Jiang You's beard fluttered in the wind. As he walked, he pointed at the small peaks on both sides and said with a smile, "This immortal mountain has many side peaks and valleys. It looks ordinary on the outside, as if the side peaks are only a few dozen feet high. In fact, there's a profound mystery inside. Not only does this immortal mountain have a flying restriction formation, but there are also several eighth grade immortal formations outside. However, these immortal formations are usually not activated, so you won't be able to sense their existence while walking on the mountain. Once you encounter danger, the eighth grade immortal formation will be activated. Even a peak Sengoku will be trapped. "
As Qin Di walked on the mountain path, he saw the scenery on both sides changing with every step he took. Clearly, when the White Emperor built the White Emperor City, he used great magic power to compress and refine the many immortal mountains and blessed lands into one place. From the outside, it looked like a compact landscape, but when he walked inside, he realized that the space inside was very wide, as if countless small worlds were connected together.
He remembered that there were many Celestial Immortals and Zu Xian living on this mountain. Just Jin Xian alone had five. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Martial Uncle, may I ask how many immortal veins are hidden in this immortal mountain? How can it support so many experts' cultivation and constantly improve their realms? This is a shocking amount of wealth! "
Jiang You laughed heartily and said, "How many immortal veins are there? I'm not sure. But I know that there are many branches of immortal veins in this immortal mountain. Some of the main veins are ninth grade immortal veins! In order to build this immortal city, the White Emperor traveled to millions of stars and extracted many immortal veins from countless planes, guiding them here. That's how the White Emperor Palace is built today, giving us a peaceful cultivation environment. "
Qin Di was even more shocked. "It's hard to imagine that there are so many ninth grade immortal veins here! I come from the lower realm and usually only see sixth or seventh grade immortal spirit veins. Ninth grade immortal veins only exist in legends. "
Jiang You smiled. "To be precise, immortal veins and immortal spirit veins are the same thing. Generally speaking, immortal veins below sixth grade are not pure, so they can be called immortal spirit veins. Immortal veins above seventh grade are purer, so it's not appropriate to call them immortal spirit veins. If it's in the Spirit Realm, the environment is dominated by spirit qi, so the immortal qi released by immortal spirit veins is easily diluted by the surrounding spirit qi. In the Immortal Realm, it's different. The environment is dominated by immortal qi, and the spirit qi released by immortal spirit veins is absorbed by the rocks and earth, so all that's left is immortal qi. "
Qin Di was enlightened. "Thank you, Martial Uncle, for your explanation. So that's how it is! But as rocks and earth, how can they absorb spirit qi? "
"Because all things have spirits. Rocks and earth are of lower grade, so they can absorb spirit qi and slowly increase their cultivation. If immortal qi is of a higher grade, it's more penetrative. Even if it's absorbed, it can't be guaranteed to stay inside. In the end, it has to be released. "
Jiang You continued, "Cultivators can't break through without immortal veins. To support ordinary Senshu cultivation, one needs at least fourth or fifth grade immortal veins. To promote Zu Xian's cultivation, one needs sixth or seventh grade immortal veins. For Jin Xian, without eighth grade immortal veins, it's hard for him to make any progress. As for Sengoku and Immortal Emperors, they can't break through without eighth or ninth grade immortal veins. Like our White Emperor Palace, which has more than one Sengoku and Immortal Emperor, we need several ninth grade immortal veins. "
Qin Di was already a sixth grade Heaven Immortal. When he reached Foundation Establishment, he had a Purple Mansion space of ten thousand feet. Later, his grotto-heaven was many times larger than other Heaven Immortals of the same level. But so far, he had only drawn in two sixth grade immortal veins.
Although he had received dozens of immortal veins from others, including the Heaven Immortal's grotto-heaven he had bought before, there were still some fourth or fifth grade immortal veins. If he put them together, he could at least get two or three seventh grade immortal veins. But due to the limitations of his own realm, he couldn't draw so many immortal veins into his grotto-heaven at once. Otherwise, it would cause him to level up continuously and cause his immortal foundation to be unstable.
More importantly, he had to wait for his main body and his other clones to arrive in the Immortal World and go to the Supreme Tower to comprehend more laws of the Heavenly Dao. Only then could he consider advancing to Zu Xian. In the past three thousand years, he had advanced from second grade Heaven Immortal to sixth grade Heaven Immortal. This speed was much faster than ordinary Heaven Immortals!
Looking at the White Emperor City in front of him, Qin Di couldn't help but marvel at the fact that there were several ninth grade immortal veins in the Immortal Mountain. He felt that he should learn from White Emperor and collect more Heaven Immortal's grotto-heaven or purchase some immortal veins. Then, when he found a suitable place in the future, he could open his own Jin Xian dojo.
Moreover, it wasn't that easy to gather a Rank 9 Immortal Meridian. There was a huge difference between the grades of immortal veins. Every increase in grade required a tenfold increase in volume. A ninth grade immortal vein was equivalent to ten eighth grade immortal veins, a hundred seventh grade immortal veins, a thousand sixth grade immortal veins, and ten thousand fifth grade immortal veins!
In the grotto-heaven of ordinary middle and high-level Heaven Immortals, there were only a handful of fifth grade immortal veins. They didn't even have sixth grade immortal veins!
In other words, if he wanted to gather a ninth grade immortal vein, he would have to kill at least thousands of Heaven Immortals or hundreds of Zu Xian's! As for Jin Xian's, he would have to kill at least ten Jin Xian's to gather a ninth grade immortal vein! However, if it was Sengoku, he would probably only need to kill two or three to gather a ninth grade immortal vein!
If he could kill an Immortal Emperor, each Immortal Emperor's grotto-heaven would have at least one ninth grade immortal vein! Some Immortal Emperors might even have several ninth grade immortal veins!
Thinking of this, Qin Di couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Xing Tian, Zhu Rong, Goumang, Gonggong, and Rushou were all cut into pieces. Just for those ninth grade immortal veins, they couldn't be let go! Without the death of Immortal Emperors, how could new Immortal Emperors rise?
However, on second thought, Since Xing Tian and the others were killed, why weren't the immortal veins in his body sucked dry? Why did he leave some for him? This is a little strange! Could it be that every Immortal Emperor has a ninth grade immortal vein that can protect their lives, and if they forcefully extract it, it will cause them to self-destruct?
