Chapter 3274 Immortal Monument Fragments

. Things outside.

Although Shen Changqing was keeping an eye on them, he spent more time cultivating.

The Heavenly Evil Sacred Body was already halfway through its third stage. With a little more effort, achieving the full Heavenly Evil Sacred Body would be a sure thing.

As a top-tier Immortal Emperor cultivation technique, once mastered, the Heavenly Evil Sacred Body would significantly enhance Shen Changqing’s strength.

Currently,

Shen Changqing possessed strength comparable to those at the Immortal Emperor Monument, largely due to his mastery of the True Dragon Treasure Technique.

Even a minor mastery of this incomplete supreme divine power could unleash unparalleled power.

In comparison,

the Primordial Star Domain Scripture and the Heavenly Evil Immortal Scripture, which were still not fully developed, offered little improvement.

Unless both techniques could be cultivated to perfection in the third stage, or even to the point of true mastery, the improvement would be significant.

Furthermore,

now that the great catastrophe had erupted,

all the immortal realms had become battlefields.

Countless cultivators had perished, and the evil aura of heaven and earth had already reached an alarmingly high density.

Even though the Tianxing Region wasn’t the primary battlefield, numerous malevolent energies still emanated from it, making Shen Changqing’s cultivation of the Tiansha Immortal Scripture feel as if divinely aided.

Shen Changqing sat cross-legged in the void, a terrifying abyss of malevolent energy gathering around him, enveloping him in a captivating, blood-red power.

A ruthless murderous intent erupted within Shen Changqing’s mind, a surge of rage and a desire to slaughter the entire world.

But at that moment,

Shen Changqing forcibly suppressed this killing urge. With a flick of his mind, a palm-sized piece of purple immortal jade suddenly appeared.

The moment he grasped the purple jade, a sense of refreshing coolness surged through his sea of consciousness, and the urge to murder seemed completely suppressed.

“The Tranquil Heart Emperor Jade is truly the king of pure heart immortal jades. Its power to suppress malevolent energy is a hundred times more powerful than any other!”

Shen Changqing smiled.

The Pure Heart Immortal Jade is only an eighth-tier supreme treasure, while the Tranquil Heart Emperor Jade is a ninth-tier supreme treasure.

Strictly speaking, the latter is a transformation of the Pure Heart Immortal Jade, a rare occurrence, and its value naturally cannot be measured by the Pure Heart Immortal Jade itself.

However,   Shen Changqing considered

this item,

even a small piece, to be of immense value.   As the power within the Tranquil Heart Emperor Jade suppressed the negative influence of the evil spirit, he seized the opportunity and began consuming vast quantities of the evil spirits of heaven and earth, continuously tempering more of the Heavenly Evil Sacred Bone.   In previous cultivation,   Shen Changqing needed to suppress the negative influence of the evil spirits while simultaneously tempering the immortal bones with them. This process was extremely meticulous and required absolutely no mistakes. Consequently   , the cultivation of the Heavenly Evil Sacred Scripture was naturally much slower.   In particular, the more evil spirits he refined, the stronger the negative energy became. Periodically, Shen Changqing had to stop practicing until the remaining negative energy was completely eliminated before absorbing new evil spirits.   But with the assistance of the Tranquil Heart Emperor Jade, this problem no longer existed.   The power of this supreme treasure counteracts the evil energy of heaven and earth. Any negative force that comes into contact with it will be instantly suppressed and dissipated.   Freed from worries,   Shen Changqing’s cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Immortal Scripture naturally increased dramatically.   …   Time passed.   In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed.   One day,   Shen Changqing withdrew from his practice and saw that the Tranquilizing Emperor Jade in his palm had lost all its luster. With a simple squeeze, the treasure turned into powder and ash.   ”It seems that a piece of Tranquilizing Emperor Jade can only sustain cultivation for ten thousand years!”   Shen Changqing shook his head slightly.   A hundred years in the outside world. Ten thousand   years in the first realm.   However,   the success of these ten thousand years of cultivation is even more than the previous hundred thousand years of hard work.   During this retreat,   Shen Changqing had already tempered twenty-two pieces of Heavenly Demon Sacred Bones.   By now,   he possessed a full one hundred and thirty pieces.   However,   successfully tempering over twenty pieces of Heavenly Demon Sacred Bones only brought limited improvement to Shen Changqing, and his strength did not change significantly.   Because each stage of the Heavenly Evil Immortal Scripture is further subdivided into several smaller stages, only by breaking through each of these smaller stages can one achieve a significant improvement in strength.   Beyond that,   the growth of the general Immortal Bone is not a significant change.   Of course,   this is also related to Shen Changqing’s strength.   If his current strength were not at the peak of the Immortal Emperor level, but rather at the beginning of the Immortal Emperor realm, then even a single extra Heavenly Evil Sacred Bone would have resulted in a significant improvement in strength.   ”It’s a pity that the Tranquil Heart Emperor Jade is so rare. I’ve only been able to obtain one in all these years. As for the Pure Heart Immortal Jade, it’s of limited use to me now,”   Shen Changqing shook his head.   The Pure Heart Immortal Jade is, after all, only an eighth-tier treasure. The third stage of the Heavenly Evil Immortal Scripture requires a staggering amount of Heavenly and Earthly Evil Qi, which is simply beyond the reach of the Pure Heart Immortal Jade.   Unless one possesses a large quantity of Pure Heart Immortal Jade, then it might be able to be of some use.   But the problem is that   finding a large quantity of Pure Heart Immortal Jade is just as difficult as obtaining a single Tranquil Heart Emperor Jade.   But then,   As if sensing something, Shen Changqing immediately left the first layer of space and emerged into the outer world.   He gazed into the chaotic void, where the Great Dao River suddenly crashed down, and the Immortal Monument of Immortality shattered with a loud bang. The terrifying vibrations were so audible that even from a distance of billions of miles, they could be heard clearly.   ”Another Immortal has fallen!”   Shen Changqing’s face changed slightly.   This being, who could overlook the vast river of time, had fallen into the chaos without waiting for the arrival of the great catastrophe. The shock it brought was naturally extraordinary.   Even though Shen Changqing was not witnessing such a scene for the first time, he still found it difficult to remain truly calm.   At this moment,   another Great Dao vision appeared.   The second one!

The third one!

…

In a short time,

seven semi-saints had been shed blood.

This commotion instantly shocked everyone in the immortal realm who witnessed it.

Suddenly,

a stream of light shot out.

Shen Changqing reached out and grasped it, only to find a fist-sized gray stone in his palm, imbued with a terrifying aura of Dao.

Even with Shen Changqing’s current cultivation level, the sensation of this Dao aura felt an inexplicable pressure.

“Immortal stele fragments!”

He felt a hint of joy.

Shen Changqing had a good understanding of the semi-saint level.

Existence at this level went beyond simply opening up the Nine-Direction Universe; it also embodied the Immortal Stele of Eternal Life.

This Immortal Stele was the symbol of the semi-saint.

Within it,

the great Dao of the semi-saint was carried.

Whenever a semi-saint fell, the Immortal Stele of Eternal Life shattered, and the Dao returned to heaven and earth, but there was still a tiny chance that a fragment of the stele would remain.

While this fragment wasn’t as good as the complete Immortal Stele of Longevity, the Semi-Saint Path contained within it was still an unimaginable treasure for other cultivators.

Shen Changqing had never imagined that simply staying in the Heavenly Demon Holy Land would allow him to possess a fragment of the Immortal Stele.

Immediately,

Shen Changqing deposited the fragment within the Seven Profound Divine Pagoda, intending to slowly comprehend it later.

Naturally, he couldn’t reveal such a thing.

This was unlike the Immortal Emperor Universe Fragment.

Leaking this supreme treasure, carrying the Semi-Saint Path, would be enough to drive most Immortal Emperors mad.

After all, possessing this fragment would increase his chances of success in his future attempts at the Immortal Realm.

If anything,

the Immortal Stele fragment was ten thousand times more valuable than the Immortal Emperor Universe Fragment.

Then,

Shen Changqing activated his Dao Immortal Eyes, and the scene within the chaos suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The void was in utter chaos. A severed hand appeared, emitting a terrifying aura like the abyss. Blood, imbued with an astonishing Daoist aura, scattering across the chaotic landscape. The Fallen Immortals, like hyenas scenting blood, engaged in a frenzied fight.

“The remains of a Semi-Saint!”

Shen Changqing took another deep breath upon witnessing this scene.

A Semi-Saint fallen into the chaos.

Its remains held immense power.

Such a being was a

truly invaluable treasure for cultivators

, and an irresistible temptation for Fallen Immortals. When

the Xuanwu Venerable fell, slain by Jiuye’s sword, the Semi-Saint’s body was reduced to ash, leaving nothing behind.

But now,

amidst the chaos,

a Semi-Saint shed blood. Naturally ,

the Fallen Immortals would not miss such an opportunity.

However,

Shen Changqing had no intention of seizing it.

Not to mention that he was currently in the Heavenly Star Region; if he truly attempted to, it would be too late.

Moreover, the fall of a Semi-Saint posed a profound terror. Shen Changqing would not risk his life unless absolutely necessary.

As Shen Changqing pondered this, under the watchful gaze of the Great Dao Immortal Eye, an ancient Fallen Immortal suppressed numerous Fallen Immortal Emperors, seized the remains of the Semi-Saint, and instantly vanished into the void.

Witnessing this, the other Fallen Immortal Emperors followed closely behind, and a fierce battle erupted in the depths of Primal Chaos.

However, even with the power of the Great Dao Immortal Eye, it was difficult to detect the changes in the depths of Primal Chaos; they could only barely detect subtle fluctuations.

The remaining Semi-Saint blood was completely divided among the Fallen Immortals.

Consequently,

many more Fallen Immortals perished in this battle.

The other Fallen Immortals who had obtained the Semi-Saint blood dared not linger in the void for even a moment. With a wary look on their faces, they tore through the void and departed, fearing they would become targets for the other Fallen Immortals.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing withdrew his gaze.

With a movement of his mind, Yan Wuxiang appeared before him.

“Greetings, Holy Lord!”

“Several semi-saints were killed in the chaos. Do you know what exactly happened?”

“I don’t know for the time being, but this matter must be closely related to the Changsheng Divine Sect and the Ziyang Immortal Sect. But for the specific situation, I still need to find out a little more.”

Yan Wuxiang shook his head, with a look of shock on his face. After all, the death of several semi-saints before and after, that terrifying might, made the Immortal Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land feel great panic and uneasiness, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
