Terran Guardian - Chapter 3319

Chapter 3300: Resources of 13 Million Immortal Stones (late in the morning)

“Boom!”

The Immortal-Destroying Sword Formation strangled everything.

As the formation activated,

countless Nine Mountains Immortal Court cultivators perished in a bloodbath.

Even an Immortal Emperor would perish before such a supreme killing formation, and cultivators below the Immortal Emperor realm stood no chance of resistance.

With the death of the last Nine Mountains Immortal Court cultivator in the Ninth Heaven, the battle was declared over.

Looking out,

countless corpses floated in the void of the Ninth Heaven, and even more bodies fell from the Ninth Heaven into the Heavenly Star Region.

For a long time to come,

this place would be untouchable for ordinary cultivators.

The lingering Dao aura of the Immortal Emperors’ clash was enough to deter most Ancient Immortals.

…

The battle was over.

News of the battle had already reverberated throughout the Heavenly Star Region.

The Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s formidable force, its thirty million-strong army, its elite troops, was a formidable force.

But facing the Celestial Demon Sacred Land, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court suffered a crushing defeat.

Thirty million troops.

At least 90% of them perished.

While the Immortal Emperors weren’t completely wiped out, many felled as well.

Most importantly,

the Prison-Suppressing Emperor, one of the Three Great Emperors, also perished in this battle.

Everyone understood that

the fall of a powerful being of this caliber would have a far greater impact than the fall of a regular Immortal Emperor .   Shen Changqing paid no attention

to matters outside.   This was because the Heavenly Demon Holy Land was currently counting the casualties of this battle.   ”Your Majesty, one million three hundred and sixty thousand disciples of the Holy Land perished in this battle. Fortunately, no Immortal Emperors perished, though several were severely injured.”   As Yan Wuxiang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became somewhat heavy.   One million three hundred and sixty thousand disciples perished. While   this loss   wasn’t significant, it was still significant.   ”How was the battle?”   Shen Changqing asked in a deep voice.   Upon hearing this, Yan Wuxiang’s expression brightened. “Although many disciples of the Holy Land perished in this battle, the victory was astonishing.   Twenty-eight million three hundred and twenty thousand Nine Mountain Immortal Court immortal soldiers were slain, including fifteen Immortal Emperors!”   ”These fifteen Immortal Emperors are the Prison Suppressing Emperor, the Eight Great Star Lords, and six ordinary Immortal Emperors!”   Upon hearing this,   the eyes of all the Holy Land’s high-ranking officials lit up, and the oppressive feeling they had previously felt dissipated considerably.   Admittedly,   the Heavenly Demon Holy Land suffered heavy losses in this battle.   But compared to the Nine Mountain Immortal Court, these losses pale into insignificance.   Twenty-eight million three hundred and twenty thousand cultivators!   Fifteen Immortal Emperors!   Among them was the Prison Suppressing Emperor, who aspired to become the pinnacle of Immortal Emperors.   Such losses   would have inflicted a heavy blow on the Nine Mountain Immortal Court.   It could be said   that of the seventeen Immortal Emperors dispatched by the Nine Mountain Immortal Court, only two managed to return alive.   ”Many powerful figures perished in the Nine Mountains Immortal Court during this battle, and the blood of numerous Immortal Emperors fell throughout the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land, unexpectedly bringing about a great deal of good fortune.   If nothing unexpected happens, within a few days, the territory of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land should be able to produce a significant amount of Immortal Minerals!”   Yan Wuxiang paused before continuing.   There are two types of Immortal Minerals.   One is the energy released from the Immortal Vein, which ultimately produces Companion Immortal Stones. These   Immortal Minerals are, in a sense, inexhaustible. As long as the Immortal Vein remains, they can continuously produce Immortal Stones.   However   , the difference   is   that these Immortal Veins produce Companion Immortal Stones very slowly, requiring an incalculable amount of time. Another   type of Immortal Minerals are those that emerge through various coincidences.   Once mined,   these Minerals become completely desolate.   Beings like those at the Immortal Emperor level possess powerful Immortal bodies, and every drop of their blood holds boundless Immortal power.   Therefore,   when Emperor Blood stains the earth, over time, it is possible for the so-called Immortal Minerals to emerge.   These are the Immortal Minerals.   It belongs to the second type of immortal ore.   However, the immortal ores typically nurtured by the blood of an Immortal Emperor are generally of mid- to low-grade quality. Generating truly top-grade immortal ore is not easy.   ”Also—” ”   We seized quite a few storage rings in this battle. I did a quick count, and if all were converted into top-grade immortal stones, the total would be around 13 million!”   As Yan Wuxiang spoke, many cultivators gasped.   13 million top-grade immortal stones!   What a staggering figure! This   means that the Holy Land is now fully engaged in mining the Tailuo Immortal Mine, significantly increasing the production of top-grade immortal stones.   In the past, this batch of immortal stone resources would have been enough to significantly boost the entire Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s power.   After all—   this is 13 million top-grade immortal stones!   Not just mid-grade immortal stones.   Even if the Tailuo Immortal Mine now produces 500 top-grade immortal stones per year, it would still take over 20,000 to 30,000 years to mine them all.   This shows   just how rich this haul truly is.   Even Shen Changqing smiled.   ”Thirteen million high-grade immortal stones, of which the Taihao Immortal Sect and the Nanchen Immortal Sect will each give one hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones as compensation for this battle!”   In this battle,   the two major immortal sects firmly stood on the side of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, so Shen Changqing naturally wouldn’t let them down.   While one hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones might not seem like much,   it depends on the context.   When the Heavenly Demon Holy Land suffered a great catastrophe, most of it was emptied out, and the only high-grade immortal stones they could offer were a mere three hundred thousand.

One hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones!

For most Immortal Emperor sects, that’s a significant sum.

As for giving more, there’s no need.

Everything has its limits; otherwise, it’s self-defeating.

The other cultivators agreed with Shen Changqing’s decision.

…

“Master, our sect has lost 530,000 cultivators in this battle, including a full 1,356 cultivators of the Ancient Immortal Realm alone!” An elder

from the Taihao Immortal Sect reported with a solemn expression, while the other sect leaders remained silent.

Over a thousand Ancient Immortals perished!

This is already a significant loss for the Taihao Immortal Sect.

After all, the situation is different now. The Taihao Immortal Sect’s strength has barely recovered, and now they’ve lost hundreds of thousands of cultivators and over a thousand Ancient Immortals.

This result

undoubtedly adds to the difficulties faced by the Taihao Immortal Sect.

Without over a million years of experience, they can’t even hope to make up for the losses of this battle.

The Jingyang Immortal Emperor said in a deep voice, “Although the sect suffered heavy losses in this battle, we ultimately defeated the Nine Mountains Immortal Court. You have now witnessed the strength of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land.

Only by relying closely on the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land can the sect have a chance of surviving the catastrophe.

As long as we can preserve the sect’s lineage and inheritance, any loss is worth it.”   The Jingyang Immortal Emperor, as the sect master, was naturally heartbroken by

the loss of so many cultivators.   But there was no other way.   The Taihao Immortal Sect had to do this.   This battle was unavoidable.   But just then, a disciple arrived to report.   ”Master, the Heavenly Monarch Mu De of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land is here to pay his respects!”   ”Invite you immediately!”   The Jingyang Immortal Emperor was startled for a moment, then his spirits perked up.   Soon,   a middle-aged cultivator in a pale blue robe appeared in the hall. He looked ordinary, but he exuded an aura that was hard to ignore.   Heavenly Monarch Mu De!   One of the Twelve Heavenly Monarchs of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land.   The entire Taihao Immortal Sect took no chances with such a being.   ”Greetings, Sect Master Jingyang!”   ”Your Majesty, you are so polite. I wonder what brings you here?”   The Immortal Emperor Jingyang smiled warmly, his expression even hinting at awe.   Not to mention that the entire Celestial Demon Sacred Land stood behind the Wood Deity Demon God.   The strength he had demonstrated in the battle against the Nine Heavens alone was enough to challenge a mid-level Immortal Emperor.   As the sole Immortal Emperor of the Taihao Immortal Sect, the Immortal Emperor Jingyang was only a beginner.   Before such a being, he naturally had to show respect. The Wood Deity Demon God smiled faintly, “The Taihao Immortal Sect contributed greatly to repelling the Nine Mountains Immortal Court in this battle. The Holy Lord is extremely pleased with this, and has therefore   instructed   me to deliver some items to the Taihao Immortal Sect to compensate for their losses in this battle.”   With a flick of his sleeve, the Wood Deity Demon God landed a storage ring in front of the Immortal Emperor Jingyang.   The latter took the storage ring and said with a calm smile, “This is what the Taihao Immortal Sect should do. Why should the Heavenly Demon Holy Land do this…”   Before he could finish his words, he stopped abruptly. This   was because the Jingyang Immortal Emperor’s divine consciousness fell into the storage ring, and when he truly saw the contents, even with his temperament, his breathing slowed down for a beat.   Immediately,   the Jingyang Immortal Emperor changed the subject, his smile completely unstoppable.   ”Saint Lord Shenhong’s kindness would be disrespectful to me if I were to refuse. Please, Heavenly Lord, convey this message to me: The Taihao Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Demon Holy Land are always on the same side.”   ”Master Jingyang, I will personally convey this message. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now.”   ”I will personally escort you, Heavenly Lord!”   ”No need to trouble you…”   The Wood Devil God waved his hand and departed.   Even   then, the Jingyang Immortal Emperor’s face remained radiant with smiles.   Seeing this, the other sect elders couldn’t help but ask, “Master, what exactly did the Heavenly Demon Holy Land give?”   The Immortal Emperor Jingyang’s smile faded as he spoke word by word.   ”One hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones!”   The moment these words were spoken,   the faces of all the sect’s leaders changed drastically.   Some even cried out in shock.   ”One hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones!?”   ”The Heavenly Demon Holy Land is so generous!”   ”With these immortal stones, not only can the sect recover all of its losses from this battle, but even further progress is possible…”   The elders were ecstatic, their previous gloom over the sect’s losses completely dissipated.   One hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones!   That’s a full one hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones!   For the Taihao Immortal Sect, this batch of immortal stones is like timely help, enough to significantly restore the sect’s vitality. After   all,   the Taihao Immortal Sect is currently in decline.   Even if the entire sect were to expend its resources, the amount of high-grade immortal stones it could produce would be limited.   The Heavenly Demon Holy Land had bestowed so many high-grade immortal stones. Even if the loss were double that, let alone the loss of over a thousand Ancient Immortals, it wouldn’t be a loss at all.   After all, cultivating an Immortal King to the Ancient Immortal Realm didn’t require many resources.   At least—   in the face of a hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones, it was nothing.
