Chapter 3290 Nine Lights Lord

Immediately,

Shen Changqing mobilized nine hundred Immortal Emperor Essence to directly give birth to nine Innate Demon Gods (the number of Immortal Emperor Essence in the previous article was incorrect and has been corrected!)

. Only a little over a hundred Immortal Emperor Essence remained, reserved for backup.

Soon,

the nine Innate Demon Gods appeared before Shen Changqing.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

“I grant you the name Nine Lights. From today on, you are the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land. You must address me as Holy Lord!”

Shen Changqing gazed at the nine Innate Demon Gods emanating a powerful aura. Though newly born, they were significantly more powerful than many newly ascended Immortal Emperors.

This was the strength of the Innate Demon God bloodline.   If nothing unexpected happened,

these demon god bloodlines   would one day at least reach the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm.   Even reaching the realm of immortality would be much easier than for ordinary cultivators.   More importantly,   the Innate Demon Gods possessed formidable physiques.   Naturally, their combat power was unmatched.   As for the so-called Nine Lights.   In reality, this was a disguised re-use of the former Nine Lights Immortal Court’s title.   However, the difference was that   the Sun and Moon Demon Gods had now been abolished by the Sun and Moon Demon Gods.   Yin and Yang, the Five Elements!   Ketu Rahu!   These were the names of the Nine Lights.   For this reason,   Shen Changqing returned to the Xuantian Dao Sect and temporarily retrieved the Star Compass gifted to Minghe, allowing the Nine Lights Demon God to comprehend its inheritance.   While every innate demon god is born with a bloodline inheritance, the inheritance of such innate demon gods often reaches the pinnacle of Immortal Emperor status.   However— while   the inheritance of an innate demon god is certainly powerful,   the inheritance of the Nine Lights Immortal Court is also exceptional.   With the Nine Lights Demon God’s current strength, cultivating the Nine Lights World-   Suppressing Scripture was naturally a good choice. Perhaps due to the innate demon god’s formidable aptitude, even though the Nine Lights World-Suppressing Scripture represents the inheritance of the pinnacle of Immortal Emperor status, the Nine Lights Demon God only needed a year to comprehend it.   Therefore,   Shen Changqing naturally returned the Star Compass to Minghe.   …   In the Holy Lord’s Hall.   Gu Zhou, Yan Wuxiang, and other high-ranking members of the Holy Land arrived one after another.   Their expressions changed slightly when they saw the nine figures emanating a powerful aura within the hall.   ”Holy Lord,” Yan   Wuxiang asked tentatively.   Shen Changqing said, “I will inform you once all the elders have arrived.”   Upon hearing this, Yan   Wuxiang stopped asking questions. However   , he secretly felt a sense of trepidation about the existence of the Nine-Light Demon Gods.   The aura of the Innate Demon God’s bloodline instilled immense pressure on the Deputy Holy Lord of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, who had already entered the Immortal Emperor realm for hundreds of thousands of years.   Soon,   all the high-ranking members of the Holy Land arrived.   Almost all the cultivators’ eyes were fixed on the nine Innate Demon Gods.   It was impossible   not to be shocked   by the presence of nine unfamiliar Immortal Emperors.   Currently, there were only six publicly recognized Immortal Emperors in the entire Heavenly Demon Holy Land.   How could nine unfamiliar Immortal Emperors not concern them?   Once all the high-ranking members of the Holy Land had arrived, Shen Changqing began to speak.   ”These nine are the Holy Land’s newly promoted Heavenly Sovereigns. The first is the Sun Heavenly Sovereign, the second is the Moon Heavenly Sovereign…”   Shen Changqing didn’t elaborate on the Nine Lights Demon Gods’ identities and origins, simply stating their titles and their current positions within the Holy Land.   Upon hearing the titles of the Nine Innate Demon Gods, many cultivators looked puzzled.   If they remembered correctly, it seemed somewhat similar to the Nine Lights Immortal Court.   However,   despite this,   no one expressed any surprise.   After all, they were nine Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses before them.   The arrival of such powerful individuals in the Heavenly Demon Holy Land would undoubtedly boost the Holy Land’s strength significantly.   Including these nine newly promoted Heavenly Sovereigns, the entire Heavenly Demon Holy Land now boasts a full fifteen Immortal Emperors.   Fifteen Immortal Emperors! While not as   many   as during the Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s heyday, the number of Immortal Emperors in most times has been lower than it is today.   ”Also… the two Celestial Lords, Sun and Moon, will be responsible for guarding the Tailuo Immortal Mine to prevent any intrusion!” After announcing the appointment of the nine Innate Demon Gods, Shen Changqing   immediately   issued another order.   The Sun and Moon Demon Gods respectfully accepted the order.   ”I will obey the Holy Lord’s command!”   ”Alright, there’s nothing else to do. Everyone, please disperse!”   Shen Changqing waved his hand, and the many high-ranking officials from the Holy Lands gradually left the hall.   But everyone knew that   today’s events   were destined to shake the entire Heavenly Demon Holy Land, and even the entire Tianxing Region.   After all, the sudden appearance of nine Immortal Emperors would have a profound impact on a high-level immortal realm.   However,   Shen Changqing didn’t dwell on   these matters too much.   He even took the time to teach the nine Innate Demon Gods the cultivation methods for the first three stages of the Heavenly Demon Immortal   Scripture. He did this because the Innate Demon Gods possessed powerful physiques. If they could cultivate the physical cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Demon Scripture, they would achieve twice the result with half the effort.   If they could maximize their physical strength, the power of the Innate Demon Gods would only grow stronger among those in the same realm.   ”With the Nine Lights Suppressing the World Scripture and the first three stages of the Heavenly Evil Scripture, if the nine Innate Demon Gods can successfully cultivate, their strength could reach a new level.   However, breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm is not easy, so their cultivation levels won’t improve much in the short term,”   Shen Changqing mused.

For ordinary Immortal Emperors, breaking through to a new level often takes hundreds of millions of years.

For an Innate Demon God, possessing a powerful bloodline, this breakthrough is easier, but it’s by no means simple.

As the first Innate Demon God to emerge, Futian is still only hovering at the initial stage of the Immortal Emperor.

Thinking of Futian,

Shen Changqing shook his head again.

As the first Innate Demon God, he’s no ordinary tyrant. At least in the Demon God Daojian, he frequently appears active in his discussions.

With his Immortal Emperor cultivation, he’s journeyed to various Immortal Realms, even delving into the Primal Chaos in search of opportunities.

Leveraging his Innate Demon God status, Futian has thus far encountered no major challenges.

On the contrary,

he’s received numerous opportunities.

Yet, even so,

Futian hasn’t been able to break free from the constraints of the Initial Stage of the Immortal Emperor and reach the Intermediate Stage.

Clearly, achieving a breakthrough at this level is inherently challenging.

Take Shen Changqing himself, for example. He was able to reach the mid-level Immortal Emperor realm only after utilizing the Seven Profound Divine Pagoda’s hundredfold time speed and mobilizing numerous resources.

Even so,

the time required was considerable.

When one’s cultivation reaches the Immortal Emperor realm, a breakthrough at this level is inherently not something to be rushed.

…

Inside the Immortal Palace’s main hall,

Shen Changqing’s mind moved,

and a green leaf emerged.

This green leaf,

naturally, was the one Nine Leaves had entrusted to him.

With Shen Changqing’s current level of cultivation, he could sense a vast aura within it, and a deep, intense palpitation welled up within him.

It was as if this seemingly ordinary green leaf contained a force powerful enough to annihilate heaven and earth.

“This Green Leaf, emitting only a faint aura, was enough to intimidate a Desolate Semi-Saint. The power contained within is definitely not simple.

This item must not be used lightly; it’s a trump card for future survival.

No wonder Senior Jiuye’s leaving behind such a means triggered a divine calamity.”

Shen Changqing took a deep breath, attaching even greater importance to the Green Leaf in his hand.

Clearly, Jiuye’s

reserve was a backup plan unlike any he had left before.

Shen Changqing even wondered if the Green Leaf’s full power could kill Changsheng if truly unleashed.

This thought

reminded Shen Changqing of the fall of the Xuanwu Venerable.

A dignified Eight Tribulations Semi-Saint was instantly slain in a single encounter.

If this Green Leaf truly possessed the power to slay Changsheng, it would be plausible.

Then,

Shen Changqing closed his eyes, silently comprehending the sword energy and dao rhythm within the Green Leaf.

For that person, this gift from Jiuye might have been a simple act, but for other cultivators, it was a supreme opportunity.

Shen Changqing could sense the piercing aura of Dao from the green leaves.

He had a hunch that

if he could comprehend even a fraction of the mysteries of this sword energy, his own strength would be further enhanced.

Or perhaps, perhaps,

the Immortal Execution Sword Scripture would be further refined.

…

Seclusion!

For Shen Changqing right now, nothing was more important than improving his strength.

Although the appearance of the Nine Immortal Emperors had stirred up considerable turmoil within the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, it gradually subsided over time.

There was another reason for this.

Not long after Shen Changqing’s retreat, the Eternal Life Cult launched another massive attack, the dark army vowing to annihilate numerous high-level immortal realms.

But this time,

the Mingguang Holy Land launched a brazen attack.

Led by Venerable Jueming, numerous immortal realms responded to the call and launched a full-scale resistance against the Eternal Life Cult.

And more than that.

In this battle…

Venerable Jueming, with his unrivaled power, directly and severely inflicted heavy damage on two Semi-Saints of the Longevity Divine Sect. Had other Semi-Saints not intervened, both would likely have perished at his hands. As

news of this battle spread,

the reputation of the Mingguang Holy Land soared. It is

now

the preeminent power among the six hundred high-level immortal realms. The

fame of Venerable Jueming, this ancient Semi-Saint, has resonated widely, even reaching many of the top immortal realms and the Supreme Immortal Realm.

For a time,

the Mingguang Holy Land reigned supreme.

In contrast,

the Longevity Divine Sect was troubled.

“A Six Tribulations Semi-Saint from the ancient times—this matter is truly fraught!”

In the Southern Star Region, Qingtian, observing the news reported by his subordinates, a gloomy expression on his face.

I had thought that Yunjinzhou’s massive attack would directly pin down the top powerhouses of Shenfengzhou, allowing the Changsheng Divine Sect to advance unimpeded, sweeping across all high-level immortal realms with thunderous force, and unleashing a dark turmoil that would engulf everything.

But I had never imagined

that a desolate ancient semi-saint would suddenly appear.

In the past,

the Changsheng Divine Sect would not have feared a six-tribulation semi-saint.

But the problem was that

the situation in other parts of the Changsheng Divine Sect was also tense. Many semi-saints who had originally supported Shenfengzhou had been forced to leave to take charge of the situation.

As of now, only a handful of immortals remained on the Shenfengzhou side.

With such strength, suppressing that desolate ancient semi-saint would be difficult. (End of this chapter)
