Chapter 3275 The True Confidence of the Immortal Cult

. Numerous Semi-Saints perished.

Immortal Realms across the board were shaken.

After

all, those striving for immortality, overlooking the vast river of time, were unlikely to see many Semi-Saints fall, even during the onset of the Great Tribulation.

Yet now, even

before the Great Tribulation arrived,

numerous Semi-Saints had already been decimated.

Such a sudden turn of events

naturally shocked these realms.

Ten days later,

Yan Wuxiang arrived with news that immediately shocked the entire Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

“

The three major realms of Yunjin Prefecture—Five Directions, Heavenly Evil, and Nine Element—along with the Immortal Cult, set an ambush in the Southern Star Territory. The Divine Wind Prefecture was caught off guard, and twenty-three Semi-Saints were caught in the ambush.

The majority of Semi-Saints who perished in the chaos were from the Divine Wind Prefecture.

In this battle, nineteen of the twenty-three Semi-Saints perished, leaving only four to escape.”

As Yan Wuxiang finished his words, the expressions of all the cultivators in the hall changed.

Fu Zheng’s face darkened. “Yunjinzhou? Could this be the Changsheng Divine Cult’s confidence? Are they joining forces with other Divine Cults to take on Shenfengzhou?”

A single Immortal Cult intervening in a catastrophe is no small matter.

Seriously,

Yunjinzhou’s threat is even greater than that of the Changsheng Divine Cult.

After all, no matter how powerful the latter is, it’s only a small faction. How can it possibly compare to a single Immortal Cult?

If Yunjinzhou truly attacks Shenfengzhou, it would be a war between the two Immortal Cults.

If it really came to that, no Immortal Realm in Shenfengzhou could remain unaffected.

Even Shen Changqing, the leader, had a serious expression.

He looked at Yan Wuxiang and asked in a deep voice, “Is this news confirmed?”

“It can’t be false!”

Yan Wuxiang said with certainty.

Upon hearing this,

Shen Changqing’s brows furrowed.

He had been curious about the Changsheng Divine Cult’s confidence in attacking the Ziyang Immortal Sect.

Only now

did Shen Changqing finally understand their intentions.

From the beginning,

the Changsheng Divine Cult’s goal was more than just the Ziyang Immortal Sect.

Their purpose was to draw the various immortal realms into action, and then strike a heavy blow against Shenfeng Province.

This time,

of Shenfeng Province’s twenty-three Semi-Saints, nineteen were killed, and the remaining four were severely injured. This loss was a significant loss.

After all, in this period, any Semi-Saint capable of taking action was considered extraordinary.

Even if there were powerful individuals in the entire Shenfeng Province who were not afraid of the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man, Shen Changqing believed that their number would be very small.

Now,

the death of nineteen Semi-Saints in Shenfeng Province

was not a serious loss, but it was enough to weaken the strength of some of the Supreme Immortal Realms.

“The Immortal Cult has been quite charitable. They’ve endured the previous nine Semi-Saints, all for this moment, to bury all nineteen more!”

“Now that so many Semi-Saints have fallen, the Immortal Cult will never give up.

Furthermore, Yunjin Prefecture’s involvement presents a serious challenge. If not handled properly, it could lead to a war between the two Immortal Prefectures!”

Shen Changqing took a deep breath, feeling a certain admiration for the Immortal Cult’s forbearance.

Even when nine Semi-Saints, led by the Ziyang Immortal Realm, had attacked, the Immortal Cult hadn’t revealed their power. Instead, they risked a one-for-one exchange, utterly enraging the Ziyang Immortal Sect.

This was the reason the Immortal Cult

subsequently arrived in the Southern Star Region with twenty-three Semi-Saints.

This was the moment the Immortal Cult had been waiting for.

Shen Changqing vaguely understood the Immortal Cult’s concerns about not forbearing further and tempting the Divine Wind Prefecture to mobilize even more power.

Too much is as bad as too little!

Some things can only happen once, not twice.

Furthermore.

If Shenfeng Province dispatches too many Semi-Saints, it’s bound to cause unforeseen events.

It could be said that

the timing of the Longevity Divine Sect’s attack was perfect.

Gu Zhou’s expression was solemn: “Yunjin Province can’t possibly attack without a reason. The Longevity Divine Sect and the forces of Yunjin Province must have reached some kind of agreement.

And the only thing that could possibly tempt the forces of Yunjin Province is the resources of the various immortal realms!”

“At this moment, a war between the two immortal states is unavoidable. Our Heavenly Demon Holy Land controls the Heavenly Star Region. Staying out of it is impossible!”

Gu Zhou’s words made the other cultivators look grim.

As they had said, a war between the two immortal states would inevitably affect all immortal realms.

Staying out!

That’s impossible.

A war between these immortal states is destined to be even more terrifying than the Dark Turmoil.

Yan Wuxiang smiled wryly. “The Holy Land records that, as early as ancient times, two immortal states went to war, countless cultivators perished, hundreds and thousands of immortal realms were reduced to desolate wastelands, and blood rained down unendingly.

I never thought that such a thing would happen to the Divine Wind State now!”

War between immortal states is bound to unleash endless bloodshed.

But such a war is beyond the power of other cultivators.

Under the overwhelming pressure of one immortal state, ordinary forces are like a speck of dust in that vast force, instantly reduced to ashes.

Shen Changqing’s demeanor recovered, but his eyes remained solemn.

“Whether Yunjin Province will engage in direct warfare with Shenfeng Province remains unknown, but the Holy Land must also be prepared.

If the two immortal states go to war, the various immortal realms within Yunjin Province will inevitably take action.

If there’s any good news, it’s probably that Tianxing Domain, as a relatively high-level immortal realm, won’t be looked down upon by those top immortal realm forces.

If a real battle were to occur, the forces Tianxing Domain would likely not be too formidable!”

This was the only good news.

However,

nothing is absolute.

For now, Shen Changqing could only hope that the two immortal states had no intention of actually going to war.

Otherwise,

the variables involved would be too great.

…

Then,

Shen Changqing took another batch of cultivation resources from the Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s treasury.

At the same time,

he summoned Yan Wuxiang.

“This lord requires a large number of treasures capable of resisting the evil spirits of heaven and earth, as well as star cores of rank nine and above. The Holy Land must now gather them with all its might, without fail!”

“Yes!” Yan Wuxiang

didn’t ask any further questions, but respectfully accepted the order.

“Also, what is the current situation of the evil disasters in the various immortal realms?” Shen Changqing asked.

Upon hearing this

, Yan Wuxiang answered without hesitation, “Except for the initial outbreak of the evil disaster, which caught many immortal realms off guard, the various immortal realms subsequently reacted and the evil disasters were gradually suppressed.

However, the Yunhai Realm remains difficult to intervene.”

“Hmm…”

Shen Changqing nodded.

This result was not surprising.

The evil disasters seemed terrifying, causing the fall of many immortal emperors, but in reality, compared to the six hundred high-level immortal realms, such a force was not enough to completely overturn the entire immortal realm.

Once they’d recovered, suppressing a catastrophe of this magnitude wouldn’t be a major problem.   This was

especially true over the next hundred years, when many Semi-Saints from the Supreme Immortal Realm intervened, directly tying down most of the power of the Eternal Life Divine Cult. This   gave the other high-level Immortal Realms a respite.   However,   this respite was only temporary.   Nineteen Semi-Saints had fallen.   Yunjinzhou had joined forces with the Eternal Life Divine Cult.   If Yunjinzhou truly launched a large-scale invasion, these Immortal Realms would be hard pressed to escape .   War!   It was inevitable! Now   it all depended on the situation in Yunjinzhou.   Afterward,   Shen Changqing retreated once more.   For him now, nothing was more important than improving his strength.   Even now,   he felt a pity.   The Xuanxiao Realm’s Semi-Saint ruins had opened too late.   If they had opened earlier, perhaps he could have entered and sought opportunities to advance his cultivation.   But such things weren’t so easy to accomplish sooner.   Therefore,   Shen Changqing could only suppress his thoughts and slowly cultivate, improving his cultivation strength first.   He   was still at the mid-level Immortal Emperor.   But after years of cultivation, the Earth Universe had grown significantly, a remarkable transformation compared to when he first broke through.   With enough immortal stones, Shen Changqing believed it wouldn’t take him long to reach the mid-level Immortal Emperor Perfection.   The problem was,   while there was a slight gap between the initial stage and the perfect stage at the mid-level Immortal Emperor, it wasn’t particularly large.   Even if he truly reached the peak of the mid-level Immortal Emperor Perfection, Shen Changqing wouldn’t see much of a change in strength.   He would definitely become stronger,   but the improvement would be limited. Unless   he could break free from the shackles of the mid-level Immortal Emperor and enter the late-level Immortal Emperor, that would be another matter.   However,   to break through to the late-level Immortal Emperor,   he needed to find the right innate spiritual roots.   Shen Changqing already possessed the Dao Bone of the Extreme Yang attribute, but innate spiritual roots of this nature were difficult to find.   Over the years,   Shen Changqing had been asking the Tianyun Pavilion to keep an eye out for information on these innate spiritual roots, but so far, there had been little success.   The Xingdao League had done the same.   Unfortunately,   innate spiritual roots were rare.   Those requiring specific attributes were even rarer.   So far,   Shen Changqing hadn’t found the Extreme Yang innate spiritual root he sought.   Therefore,   even if his cultivation reached the peak of the mid-level Immortal Emperor, he wouldn’t have a chance of breaking through to the late-level Immortal Emperor in the short term.   Therefore,   Shen Changqing focused most of his energy on the Heavenly Evil Immortal Scripture and the Primordial Star Domain Scripture.   At least—   while these two techniques were quite difficult to cultivate, the resources required were relatively easy to obtain compared to innate spiritual roots.   The Heavenly Evil Immortal Scripture only required Heavenly and Earthly Evil Qi, and the Primordial Star Domain Scripture required a ninth-level star core, though precious, but with enough immortal stones, purchasing such a core wouldn’t be a problem.   If he could cultivate both of these techniques to the Great Perfection stage before reaching the Late Immortal Emperor stage,   Shen   Changqing believed that,   without the appearance of a Semi-Saint,   few in the Immortal Emperor realm would be his match.   All of this   was Shen Changqing’s preparation for his subsequent ascent to the Immortal Emperor Monument.   Having failed to reach the summit of the Ancient Immortal Monument last time, he certainly wouldn’t miss the opportunity this time.
