Chapter 3296: Nine Mountain Immortal Court Takes Action

the matter of the Tailuo Immortal Mine .   With the four innate demon gods in charge, he could guarantee no problems.   Meanwhile,   the Nine Mountains Immortal Court had already set their sights on the Tailuo Immortal Mine.   In Shen Changqing’s view,   it wouldn’t be long before the Nine Mountains Immortal Court took action against the Tianxing Territory.   Shen Changqing no longer held much fear   towards this force .   He waited!   Waiting for the arrival of the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s forces.   During this time,   Shen Changqing remained primarily in seclusion.   With the Zhuxian Sword Sutra now fully developed,   he devoted his energy to cultivating the Tiansha Immortal Sutra. He   had already reached the minor success stage of the fourth stage of the Tiansha Immortal Sutra, and with further effort, breaking through to the major success stage would be a no-brainer.   If he could achieve the major success stage of the fourth stage of the Tiansha Immortal Sutra, he would have truly reached the pinnacle of this sect’s top-tier Immortal Emperor cultivation technique.   …   During Shen Changqing’s seclusion,   the Tianxing Territory was much calmer.   Although many cultivators from Yunjin Province appeared, they were deterred by the intimidation of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, so they dared not act rashly.   There were occasional disputes, but they were minor.   After all, the Heavenly Demon Holy Land was officially ruled by over a dozen Immortal Emperors. Such a force was not to be underestimated by any immortal state.   This was true in Shenfeng Province as well as Yunjin Province.   Many Immortal Emperor factions without the foundation of immortality were skeptical about whether they could produce so many Immortal Emperors at once.   Under such circumstances, other cultivators naturally did not dare to act rashly.   A month later,   the sky shattered.   It was as if a powerful force had directly torn apart the nine layers of the heavens. A terrifying chaotic airflow poured down from the cracks, causing the entire immortal realm to tremble.   In that instant,   most cultivators in the Tianxing Domain looked up into the void, trembling inwardly at the astonishing sight.   ”They’re coming!”   Shen Changqing immediately emerged from the Seven Profound Divine Tower and gazed into the outer void. Beyond the chaotic airflow, the aura of numerous cultivators emanated.   Among them, there were no fewer than ten auras that had reached the Immortal Emperor realm.   But that wasn’t the most important thing. The   truly important thing   was that among these ten or so Immortal Emperor auras, one was particularly terrifying.   ”This aura isn’t from the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor…”   Shen Changqing’s expression remained calm, neither disappointment nor indifference evident.   He was naturally familiar with the aura of the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor.   While this aura was terrifying, it was also completely different from that of the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor.   With this thought,   Shen Changqing had a rough idea of its identity.   ”It’s rumored that below the Heavenly Emperor, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court has three great emperors, all of whom have reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm. I wonder which of these three emperors is coming here?”   Judging from the aura alone, only one could reach the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm, so it couldn’t be one of the three emperors in person.   However,   since it wasn’t the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor himself,   Shen Changqing naturally didn’t care much.   It was just the three emperors!   Anyone not on the level of the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor posed no significant threat to him.   At this moment,   the Heavenly Demon Holy Land was also shaken.   Gu Zhou and other Immortal Emperors who were in retreat emerged immediately.   Instantly,   upon the main peak,   the powerful Saint Land masters gathered.   Upon seeing Shen Changqing, Gu Zhou’s expression was serious: “Holy Lord!”   ”Don’t be nervous. Unless something unexpected happens, it will be the Nine Mountains Immortal Court that will take action this time!”   Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.   ”If the Nine Mountains Immortal Court wants to fight, then the Heavenly Demon Holy Land will certainly fight to the bitter end. Currently, the Holy Land, including me, has a total of fifteen Immortal Emperors.   Even if the Nine Mountains Immortal Court is stronger, the Holy Land is not without its qualifications!”   Upon hearing this,   Gu Zhou and other Saint Land leaders’ expressions softened slightly.   Indeed!   The Heavenly Demon Holy Land is now a different place than it once was.   The fifteen Immortal Emperors   are its greatest trump card.   Furthermore,   the Saint Lord before them is even more unfathomable.   If a real battle were to come, the   Heavenly Demon Holy Land wouldn’t necessarily lose.   Thinking of this, the pressure they had just felt upon hearing the name of the Nine Mountains Immortal Court dissipated significantly.   Yan Wuxiang said in a deep voice, “The Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s sudden attack is likely targeting the Tailuo Immortal Mine. Should the Tailuo Immortal Mine be strengthened?”   ”I have already dispatched Luohou and Jidu to guard the Tailuo Immortal Mine. I believe the power of the Four Heavenly Sovereigns is sufficient to ensure its safety. If   the Nine Mountains Immortal Court wants to seize the Tailuo Immortal Mine, they must first destroy our Heavenly Demon Holy Land.   The true battlefield will naturally be at the Heavenly Demon Holy Land!”   Shen Changqing gazed at the shattered sky, a sneer on his face.   ”However, they want to fight at the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, but I will not let them have their wish. Since they must fight, let’s fight in the Ninth Heaven.   This time, I will make sure they all come to nothing!”   With these words,   Shen Changqing looked at Gu Zhou and the other Holy Land cultivators and gave a solemn order.   ”All cultivators above the Immortal King Realm, accompany me to the Ninth Heaven for a battle!”   With that,   Shen Changqing took the lead and stepped into the air, heading directly towards the Ninth Heaven.   Upon hearing this order,   Gu Zhou and the other Immortal Emperors exchanged glances and, without hesitation, issued the order.   Instantly,   the entire Heavenly Demon Holy Land shook.

Almost all cultivators above the Immortal King realm headed for the Ninth Heaven.

Only a handful of ancient immortals remained, guarding the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land with their remaining disciples to prevent any unauthorized intrusion.

Such a massive move by the Heavenly Demon Sacred

Land naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of other factions. One moment, an unknown powerhouse tore through the Ninth Heaven, shaking the entire Celestial Star Region. The next, the entire Heavenly Demon Sacred Land erupted in force, a murderous aura powerful enough to shake the Nine Heavens.

Seeing this,

most factions adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

After all, for them, a battlefield of this magnitude was simply beyond their reach.

If they acted rashly, they might end up as cannon fodder.

However, a few factions understood the principle of the loss of both the lips and the teeth.

…

at the Taihao Immortal Sect.

Immortal Emperor Jingyang’s expression was stern: “Pass this order. All cultivators above the Immortal King realm in the Taihao Immortal Sect will accompany me to support the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land!”

These words immediately

caused the faces of many immortal sect elders to change dramatically.

“Master, you can’t!”

“The identity of the invading force is unknown, and the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land is now fully deployed. If our sect participates in this battle, the consequences will be disastrous!”

It’s no wonder they’re so cautious.

Since the outbreak of the Heavenly Fate Tribulation, the Taihao Immortal Sect has suffered heavy   losses.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the Taihao Immortal Sect has failed to recover.   If it were to suffer another severe blow at this time, it would undoubtedly affect the inheritance of the Taoist tradition.   However,   the Jingyang Immortal Emperor maintained a resolute expression.   ”Our sect has long shared the prosperity of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land. If we remain indifferent this time, we are doomed to break with the   Heavenly Demon Sacred Land. The great tribulation has arrived. With our current strength, the only way to preserve our Taoist tradition is to cling tightly to the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land!”   Based on the events of the Mingguang Sacred Land, the Jingyang Immortal Emperor believed that even if the Taihao Immortal Sect completely aligned itself with the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land   , if the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land was destroyed, the Taihao Immortal Sect would definitely suffer no good consequences.   Moreover,   now that the great tribulation has arrived,   wavering is the most taboo.   Sometimes.   Fence-sitters often fall the fastest.   Rather than wavering, it’s better to stand firmly on the side of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land.   Of course.   Another crucial reason why the Jingyang Immortal Emperor trusted the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land so deeply was his appreciation for Shen Changqing’s strength and the foundation behind the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land.   Since the latter dared to confront the Ancient Semi-Saint without even a shred of respect, he must have had his reasons.   Thinking back to the fall of the Xuanwu Reverend,   the Jingyang Immortal Emperor understood.   So, no matter what,   the Taihao Immortal Sect would cling tightly to the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land.   More precisely   , to the Heavenly Demon Saint.   Only in this way   could the Taihao Immortal Sect be preserved.   Seeing the Jingyang Immortal Emperor’s resolute stance, showing no sign of changing his mind, the remaining sect elders, though puzzled, were unable to disobey his orders.   Watching the changes in the elders’ expressions, the Jingyang Immortal Emperor’s expression softened a bit.   ”It’s not just the Taihao Immortal Sect that’s making this move. I believe the Nanchen Immortal Sect has made the same choice!”   As soon as he finished speaking, as if to confirm his own words,   he saw a vast army of cultivators from numerous sects, led by Immortal Emperor Sinan, forming in the direction of the Nanchen Immortal Sect and heading directly towards the Ninth Heaven.   Seeing this,   the Taihao Immortal Sect’s leaders had no other thoughts.   After all, the Nanchen Immortal Sect had already done the same, leaving the Taihao Immortal Sect with only one option left.   Soon,   the Taihao Immortal Sect’s army was deployed.   The successive actions of the cultivator armies of the two major sects attracted the attention of many cultivators in the Tianxing Territory.   ”The Nanchen Immortal Sect and the Taihao Immortal Sect have also taken action!”   ”It seems that these two major sects are following the lead of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land!”   ”But I wonder which force is coming this time to mobilize the top three forces in the Tianxing Territory—”   Many cultivators in the Tianxing Territory were shocked. The power mobilized by the three major forces was undoubtedly extraordinary.   In fact,   This wasn’t limited to the cultivators from the Tianxing Domain.   Most of the other cultivators from Yunjin Province also looked horrified.   The Taihao and Nanchen Immortal Sects were fine,   but the sheer aura emanating from the forces of the Tianyao Holy Land sent shockwaves through their veins. This was   especially true for those aspiring to reach the Half-Step Immortal Emperor realm, who could sense the immensely powerful aura.   These auras   were at least at the Immortal Emperor level.   One Half-Step Immortal Emperor from Yunjin Province sighed, “If a dominant force in the Tianxing Domain possesses such strength, it seems the Divine Wind State is no ordinary force. If Yunjin Province wants to truly suppress this Immortal State, it won’t be easy…”   These cultivators, of course, lacked the knowledge to fully understand the entire Divine Wind State. Their observations   on the Tianyao Holy Land had led them to mistakenly believe that the entire Divine Wind State was equally powerful. Upon hearing   this,   many cultivators from Yunjin Province nodded in agreement.   Although they had heard of the strength of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land in the past, rumors were just rumors after all, and nothing could be as shocking as seeing it with their own eyes.
