Chapter 3295 Three Emperors

“Three thousand top-grade immortal stones!”

Shen Changqing understood.

Then,

he left the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

Shen Changqing didn’t even have a single top-grade immortal stone, let alone three thousand top-grade immortal stones.

Therefore,

the matter of deducing the Zhuxian Sword Scripture would have to be put on hold.

Besides,

even if one could deduce the Zhuxian Sword Scripture to the second level of a semi-saint, one would still need to comprehend and cultivate it on their own before it could be fully cultivated.

If one could deduce the Zhuxian Sword Scripture to the second level of a semi-saint, then full cultivation would be possible immediately.

Which one was better?

It all depended on the situation.

While three thousand top-grade immortal stones were precious, truly realizing a semi-saint second-level magical power on one’s own was equally as difficult as ascending to heaven.

However, at the moment, neither of these two options was something Shen Changqing could achieve in a short period of time.

“…”

“Your Majesty, since three hundred years ago, there have been an increasing number of foreign cultivators near the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

However, with the presence of the two Heavenly Monarchs, Sun and Moon, no trouble has arisen!”

Demon God Luohou respectfully reported this shortly after Shen Changqing emerged from retreat.

Tailuo Immortal Mine!

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing’s eyes narrowed.

“Have you found out the origins of these cultivators?”

“Sun Heavenly Monarch once suppressed some cultivators, using soul-searching techniques. We learned that most of them are from Yunjin Prefecture.

Among these Yunjin Prefecture forces, the most troublesome is the Nine Mountains Immortal Court!”

Demon God Luohou faithfully recounted everything he knew.

“Nine Mountains Immortal Court?”

Shen Changqing’s expression shifted slightly.

Demon Lord Luohou said, “During the years the Holy Lord was in seclusion, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court has become the preeminent power in the Xuanxiao Territory.

Although other forces from Yunjin Prefecture have subsequently entered the Xuanxiao Territory to challenge the Nine Mountains Immortal Court, the latter has continued to occupy many territories and resources.

Furthermore, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court is extremely ambitious. While occupying Xuanxiao Territory’s territory, it has also continuously attacked other immortal realms.

Over the past three thousand years, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court has been present in no fewer than five or six high-level immortal realms!”

“Now that cultivators from the Nine Mountains Immortal Court have appeared in the Tianxing Territory and are secretly eyeing the Tailuo Immortal Mine, I have reason to suspect this force has already set its sights on the Tianxing Territory!”

Shen Changqing, initially shaken, had regained his composure after hearing Demon Lord Luohou’s words.

The fact that the Nine Mountains Immortal Court was targeting the Tianxing Territory

was somewhat unexpected, but also understandable. Shen Changqing believed

the secret of the Tailuo Immortal Mine

could not be concealed.

The issue of the Tailuo Immortal Stone, however, was a matter of course.

Take, for example, the Tianyao Holy Land, which has been mining the Tailuo Immortal Mine since ancient times. The fact that it hasn’t been completely mined for so many years speaks volumes.

Although the Tianyao Holy Land has previously tried to conceal the Tailuo Immortal Mine’s existence,

the problem is that

there’s no such thing as an impenetrable wall.

Especially with a target as large as a mine

, even the most attentive observer can uncover clues. Even

the Tianming Immortal Sect was able to discover the Tailuo Immortal Mine, let alone other factions. This is the main   reason

why Shen Changqing previously dedicated himself to mining the Tailuo Immortal Mine.   He knew the Tailuo Immortal Mine existed and wouldn’t keep it secret for long.   Sooner or later, it would be exposed.   It would be better to expedite mining to produce a sufficient amount of immortal stones. For   over 20,000 years,   the Tailuo Immortal Mine has yielded at least 10 million high-grade immortal stones.   In the past, it would have taken hundreds of millions of years to mine this much.   However, thanks to Shen Changqing’s dedicated mining efforts, the amount of immortal stones that once took hundreds of millions of years has now been mined in just over 20,000 years.   Such a large number of high-grade immortal stones naturally bring significant benefits.   It’s just that   the current timeframe is too short.   For the entire Heavenly Demon Holy Land, it’s not yet time to notice any significant changes.   But if the timeline were extended to tens or even millions of years, the Heavenly Demon Holy Land would undoubtedly undergo a drastic transformation.   ”Keep an eye on the Tailuo Immortal Mine. Anyone who dares approach will be annihilated, regardless of their origin, leaving no one alive!”   Shen Changqing declared coldly.   The existence of the Tailuo Immortal Mine is a place where no other forces can be allowed to interfere.   His subsequent breakthroughs in the Heavenly Evil Scripture and the Primordial Star Domain Scripture depend on the Tailuo Immortal Mine.   Without the immortal stones from the Tailuo Immortal Mine as support, achieving full mastery of these two techniques would be far more challenging.   As the Demon God Luohou withdrew upon receiving his orders   , Shen Changqing paused for a moment before ordering the Demon God Jidu to accompany him to the Tailuo Immortal Mine. Together with the Demon God Luohou, they would assist the two Demon Gods, Sun and Sun, in guarding the area.   ”With four innate demon gods in charge, as long as some powerful Immortal Emperor doesn’t intervene, we’re guaranteed to be safe!”   ”The Nine Mountains Immortal Court has already set its sights on the Heavenly Star Region, and I imagine they’ll take action soon.   In that case, perhaps it’s time to settle our scores with that person!”   Shen Changqing exuded a powerful aura, as if a terrifying sword intent were suppressing heaven and earth.   At that moment,   everyone in the Heavenly Demon Holy Land seemed to sense a chilling chill.   However, this chill was fleeting, causing most cultivators to mistake it for an illusion.   Only Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses like Gu Zhou could truly understand the terrifying nature of this aura and its source.   ”Could it be that the Holy Lord’s strength has increased again?”   On Purple Flame Peak, Gu Zhou looked toward the main peak, his face filled with solemnity.   He had entered the Immortal Emperor realm for many years, but his cultivation had always hovered at the initial stage of the Immortal Emperor, and he had yet to open up a second Five Immortal Universe.   Looking at Shen Changqing, his strength seemed to increase with each passing moment.   Gu Zhou was secretly shocked by the speed of this breakthrough.

After a deep glance at the main peak, Gu Zhou withdrew his gaze.

Then,

he closed his eyes and continued his retreat within the Immortal Residence.

Now, the great calamity had arrived.

The Heavenly Star Domain was in turmoil.

As the Immortal Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, Gu Zhou felt immense pressure.

Under normal circumstances, an Immortal Emperor-level cultivator would naturally run rampant in the higher-level Immortal Domains, hardly posing a major threat.

But now, with the great calamity erupting in the Divine Wind State, even the Semi-Saints, who aspired to immortality and looked down

upon the ages,

had fallen. Under the great calamity, even Semi-Saints would shed blood.

A mere Immortal Emperor would be helpless.

Every additional point of strength gained now would increase his chances of survival during the future calamity.

…

“Tairo Immortal Mine!”

“Is your information accurate?”

The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor looked at the cultivator before him, his usually calm face changing.

Upon hearing this, the cultivator below immediately said respectfully, “I have conducted in-depth investigations. The Tianyao Holy Land has been secretly mining this Tailuo Immortal Mine since ancient times, yet even now, it remains unexhausted.

Therefore, I believe this Tailuo Immortal Mine must contain some unknown secrets.”

“Interesting! An immortal mine that has been mined for eons without ever being depleted is truly remarkable!”

The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s face lit up with interest, clearly noting that the existence of the Tailuo Immortal Mine had already captured his attention.

If it were an ordinary, high-grade immortal mine, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor wouldn’t have paid much attention.

After all, a normal high-grade immortal stone vein, even one with a significant reserve, is merely a small matter. Given

the wealth accumulated over countless years by the Nine Mountains Immortal Court, a high-grade immortal mine would be considered merely ordinary.

However, a high-grade immortal mine that has been mined for hundreds of millions of years without ever being depleted is a completely different matter.

The value of a high-grade immortal mine lies in the abundance of immortal stones within it.

However, the immortal stone reserves of most high-grade immortal mines are similar.

The unusual nature of the Tailuo Immortal Mine naturally caught the attention of the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor.

Seizing this immortal mine would significantly enhance the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s foundation.

More importantly,

this immortal mine likely held numerous secrets.

With this thought,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor paused for a moment, his gaze finally settling on a figure within the Immortal Palace.

“Prison Emperor, regarding the Tailuo Immortal Mine, I will direct you to the Celestial Star Region. Rumor has it that the Celestial Demon Saint Lord is quite powerful. While he hasn’t yet ascended the Immortal Emperor Monument, he’s not far behind.

We should proceed with caution in the Celestial Star Region!”

“Rest assured, Celestial Emperor. I will suppress the Celestial Demon Sacred Land and seize the Tailuo Immortal Mine for the Immortal Court!”

The Prison Emperor’s expression was solemn, his words filled with determination and authority.

Seeing this,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor nodded.

Below the Celestial Emperor

were the Three Great Emperors,

and among them, the Prison Emperor was the most powerful.

The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor was well aware of this person’s strength.

If the Prison-Suppressing Emperor was willing, he would be fully qualified to ascend the Immortal Emperor Monument.

However, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court was, after all, an Immortal Emperor-level power. His ascension to the Immortal Emperor Monument alone would have already attracted the attention of numerous factions. If another Immortal Emperor also ascended the Immortal Emperor Monument, it would undoubtedly make the Nine Mountains Immortal Court a target of public criticism.

Therefore, the Prison-Suppressing Emperor had always kept a low profile.

No one besides the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor knew his true strength.

The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor had also heard of the Heavenly Demon Saint Lord’s power.

Of the three great emperors,

only the Prison-Suppressing Emperor could guarantee a foolproof outcome.

The reason the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor refrained from personally acting was due to news of the Immortal Realm of Eternal Life within the Primal Chaos.

Consequently,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor naturally chose to focus on this secret realm.

While the Tailuo Immortal Mine was impressive, in his view, it could not compare to the Immortal Realm of Eternal Life.

The secret realms left behind by these ancient beings hold astonishing opportunities.

The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor is now only half a step away from becoming a Semi-Saint, but truly taking that step isn’t easy.

Finding a breakthrough opportunity within the Secret Realm of Immortality would make things much easier.

“The Great Tribulation is approaching, and I will strive for immortality during this time!”

The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s eyes, as deep as the stars, revealed an unquestionable resolve. (End of Chapter)
