Chapter 3265: Aspiring to Become the Most Powerful Immortal Emperor

. Retreat!

The outside world is in turmoil, and wars are frequent.   Shen Changqing pays no attention

to this .   For him now, the most important thing is to improve his strength.   …   Time flies!   Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye!   During these ten thousand years, the dark turmoil has spread to almost all of the high-level immortal realms. Many forces originally stationed in the Southern Star Region have been forced to temporarily withdraw their troops to defend their own immortal realms. Even   so   , a large number of cultivators still remain in the Southern Star Region to confront the Immortal Cult head-on. As a result,   the vast Southern Star Region   has become a complete battlefield.   Nine thousand years ago,   the numerous vassal states that split from the Nine Lights Immortal Court were successively destroyed in the fighting between the two sides.   In just one thousand years,   these vassal states were completely annihilated.   The few remaining traces of the Nine Lights Immortal Court were completely wiped out in these wars.   Neither the Shenfeng State nor the Immortal Cult paid any attention to these vassal states that inherited the Nine Lights Immortal Court’s heritage.   In their eyes, forces without an Immortal Emperor as their leader were mere cannon fodder in the war.   Destroy them, and that was it.   Nothing more to say.   For those immortal realms unaffected by the dark turmoil, the most important thing was to confine the battlefield to frontier realms like the Southern Star Region, preventing it from spreading to their own realms.   Over the past ten thousand years, the Southern Star Region alone had seen the bloodshed of billions of cultivators, a surge of murderous energy that had driven both sides to a frenzy of killing.   As for the other immortal realms,   the situation was no better.   In contrast,   the Heavenly Star Region remained peaceful.   At a time when the dark turmoil had spread to many higher-level immortal realms, the Heavenly Star Region was a truly peaceful haven.   …   Visible malevolent energy from heaven and earth converged, merging into Shen Changqing’s body and heading towards a particular immortal bone.   The bone trembled, and the blood-colored Dao patterns glowed brightly, signaling its gradual transformation from Dao Bone to Sacred Bone.   At the moment the Heavenly Evil Sacred Bone’s transformation was complete, all the other sacred bones vibrated in unison, a surge of immense power emanating from them.   ”Boom!”   Qi and blood surged like a sea of stars.   It was as if a chaotic divine elephant had crushed the heavens.   A fierce and domineering aura enveloped everything, causing terrifying fluctuations in the first layer of space. After   a long moment,   the aura calmed down.   Shen Changqing opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air, which instantly transformed into a vast river of Qi and blood, plunging into the boundless void, lingering for a long time.   ”One hundred and eight Heavenly Evil Sacred Bones!”   ”The third stage of the Heavenly Evil Immortal Scripture has finally been completed!”   Shen Changqing smiled.   Ten thousand years in the outside world.   The first layer of space had already taken a full million years.   Normally, achieving the minor success of the third stage of the Heavenly Evil Immortal Scripture over such a long period of time would be cause for celebration.   But in reality, Shen Changqing had spent more than just cultivating the Heavenly Evil Scripture over these million years.   As early as three hundred thousand years ago,   he had been cultivating for far more than just the Heavenly Evil Immortal Scripture.   Shen Changqing had already cultivated the incomplete True Dragon Technique to the minor success stage.   However,   this was the limit of what the True Dragon Technique could achieve.   Because this supreme magical power was incomplete, he could only cultivate it to the minor success stage.   To achieve the major success stage,   he had to complete the True Dragon Technique.   However,   even a minor success stage of the True Dragon Technique could still unleash astonishing combat power. Shen Changqing   then   spent another 100,000 years cultivating the Nine-Star Seal to the major success stage.   This magical power was several orders of magnitude easier to cultivate than the True Dragon Technique.   Shen Changqing’s inherent comprehension was exceptional, and now that he had opened up the celestial universe and his own sea of consciousness had grown, his cultivation of magical powers was even more divinely assisted.   Therefore, it took him only a mere 100,000 years to cultivate the Nine-Star Seal to the major success stage.   For the next 600,000 years, Shen Changqing simultaneously cultivated the Heavenly Evil Scripture and the Primordial Star Domain Scripture   .   With the aid of a vast number of ninth-tier star cores, Shen Changqing successfully condensed 3.6 million ancient stars, opening up the first complete ancient star field.   This   marked the true beginning of this cultivation technique.   Indeed!   After the Ancient Star Field Sutra reached the Immortal Emperor Supreme Level, only truly opening up a complete ancient star field could be considered a true entry point.   With the original version of the Ancient Star Field Sutra, opening up a single ancient star field would have been considered complete.   But now,   it was merely an introductory stage.   The Immortal Emperor Supreme Level Ancient Star Field Sutra is divided into four stages:   one   ancient star field for beginners, then thirty-six ancient star fields, seventy-two ancient star fields, and finally one hundred and eight ancient star fields.   Truly opening up one hundred and eight ancient star fields is no easy feat.   Shen Changqing had already invested no less than two million high-grade immortal stones in just one ancient star field.   This is because Shen Changqing doesn’t rely solely on ninth-order star cores for cultivation; he also slowly refines the power of stars and condenses the ancient stars.   Otherwise,   the required high-grade immortal stones would be even greater.   This is already the case for one ancient star field.   If one wants to open up the 108 ancient star field scriptures   , if they simply use immortal stones, the required immortal stones would be in the billions. For   a normal force   , even one with ancient heritage, it would be impossible to come up with hundreds of millions of high-grade immortal stones.

Even if the current Tianyao Holy Land possessed a unique mineral vein like the Tailuo Immortal Mine, mining enough immortal stones would require at least hundreds of thousands of years.

Of course,

hundreds of thousands of years in exchange for a mastered Immortal Emperor technique would be a worthwhile investment.

After all,

a mastered Immortal Emperor technique is enough to empower even the most ordinary cultivator to truly rival the might of a peak Immortal Emperor.

However, if hundreds of millions of high-grade immortal stones were to be expended on a single cultivator, granting them the combat power of a peak Immortal Emperor, few forces would be willing to part with them.

After all, such resources, if properly utilized, could go far beyond simply nurturing a peak Immortal Emperor.

This

, in turn, underscored the significance of unique mineral veins like the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

Shen Changqing was certain that

if news of the Tailuo Immortal Mine leaked, it would cause widespread shock.

At that point,

the pressure on the Tianyao Holy Land would naturally intensify.

However, Shen Changqing had already prepared for such a consequence.

“The Dark Turmoil shows no sign of ending. As long as we fully exploit the Tailuo Immortal Mine before then and transform all these immortal stone resources into strength, these problems will no longer be a problem.

If I can complete the Taikoo Star Domain Sutra, with the advantage of my Taikoo Immortal Body, I’m confident I can handle even a powerful being from the Immortal Emperor Monument!”

Shen Changqing remained calm.

Now, it all came down to who moved faster.

Was the Dark Turmoil quelled faster, or was my own strength increasing faster?

Then,

Shen Changqing continued to focus his divine consciousness on himself. He had achieved

minor success in the third stage of the Tiansha Immortal Sutra! He

had just begun the Taikoo Star Domain Sutra!

These two breakthroughs had already significantly increased his strength.

By now,

if Shen Changqing unleashed his full strength, he could unleash the terrifying power of fifteen thousand Chaos Divine Elephants.

With this combined strength, the power truly unleashed was countless times more terrifying than even fifteen thousand Chaos Divine Elephants.

If,

in the outside world ten thousand years ago, Shen Changqing’s strength was only at the peak of the second tier,

then what about him now?

He had truly earned the qualifications to enter the first echelon.

…

Immediately.

Shen Changqing entered the fourth level of space.

Deducing his opponent!

Chi Wuwang!

…

As Shen Changqing’s thoughts shone, Chi Wuwang’s figure suddenly appeared from the void.

“Boom!”

Before Shen Changqing could strike, Chi Wuwang was the first to move. A terrifying Dao sword intent coalesced into the phantom of an immortal sword. The moment the sword swung down, crimson sword energy slashed through the boundless void.

“Fight!”

Shen Changqing took a step forward, unleashing a force comparable to that of fifteen thousand Chaos Divine Elephants. A torrent of Qi and Blood energy coalesced throughout his body, culminating in a powerful punch.

This sheer physical strength collided fiercely with the crimson sword energy, shattering it to pieces.

Then…

Shen Changqing moved, his foot shattering the void as a startling phantom of a true dragon suddenly appeared, merging directly into his body and transforming into a set of unrivaled battle armor.

“BOOM!!!”

As the true dragon’s battle form coalesced, Shen Changqing’s physical strength surged again.

If he had previously possessed the strength of only fifteen thousand Chaos Divine Elephants, now it had surged to twenty-five thousand.

This immense physical power caused his Qi and blood to become as thick as a sea of stars. This incredibly rich Qi emanated, transforming into the Nine Luminaries.

“Nine Luminaries Seal of World Suppression—”

Shen Changqing mobilized the power of the Nine Luminaries, ultimately transforming it into a supreme immortal seal powerful enough to shatter the Chaos Sea of Stars.

He fiercely suppressed Chi Wuwang. Though Chi Wuwang tried to block with his sword, the blow shattered his body in a single blow, completely vanishing.

Boom!

The lingering power of the Nine Lights Seal of World Suppression fell upon the void, shattering and annihilating the boundless void, seemingly foreshadowing a return to chaos.

At this moment,

a life-giving aura descended.

Shen Changqing’s previously seething blood and energy gradually subsided.

“Win!”

As the armor dissipated, Shen Changqing’s face lit up with an unconcealable smile.

No so-called fierce battle!

Everything was done with a clean and decisive action!

“A real-life battle is ultimately somewhat different from the deductions. A powerhouse like this who has entered the Immortal Emperor Monument must have a corresponding trump card.

Furthermore, after the Seven Profound Divine Tower absorbs the aura, the target of its evolution is only the opponent’s current state. Any subsequent breakthroughs in cultivation will not be affected.

Therefore, in reality, Chi Wuwang’s strength is bound to be even greater!”

“But… as long as the opponent doesn’t make a major breakthrough, even if his strength increases, it will probably be limited!”

“In other words, now that I have achieved minor success in the True Dragon Treasure Technique and major success in the Nine Lights World-Suppressing Seal, I am truly qualified to compete with the powerhouses of the Immortal Emperor Monument!”

Reaching this point means that he, Shen Changqing, has truly gained the strength to aspire to the ranks of the most powerful Immortal Emperors.

Changsheng cannot come out.

In the Immortal Emperor realm, he is one of the strongest among a small group of cultivators.
