Chapter 3312: Heaven-Seizing Creation Pill (asking for monthly ticket)

Top-Grade Immortal Stones!

Immortal Elixir!

Shen Changqing collected both items and immediately spread his divine consciousness throughout the hall, scanning for anything he had missed.

Once he was certain nothing was left behind, he turned and left.

This time, he

had truly returned with a bountiful harvest.

Compared to the Immortal Elixir and the top-grade immortal stones, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s over thirty million high-grade immortal stones and vast quantities of immortal medicine resources seemed insignificant.

Of course,

the more of these things, the better.

When Shen Changqing emerged from the hall, the cultivators, including the Demon God Rāhu, tactfully withheld further inquiries.

Everyone knew that this hall must contain something precious; otherwise, such a powerful restriction wouldn’t have been established.

But without Shen Changqing’s knowledge, they naturally refrained from questioning.

After all, knowing too much is not a good thing.

“I give you three days to take everything you can from the entire Nine Mountains Immortal Court Immortal City. After three days, you must leave and return to the Heavenly Star Region!”

Shen Changqing said, looking at the numerous Holy Land cultivators before him.   The cultivators were naturally excited.   Three days of plundering!   Although most of the resources had to be turned over to the Holy Land, they could still keep some. Such matters were generally ignored, and no one would pursue them.   Three days passed quickly. During

these   three   days, the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land had practically turned the entire Immortal City upside down, taking away anything of value they could.   After all, even if they couldn’t use these things themselves, they could still be exchanged for cultivation resources.   When the time was up,   Shen Changqing’s mind moved,   and hundreds of immortal boats reappeared. All the Holy Land cultivators boarded them, and then they soared away through the air.   ”Finally gone!”   Upon seeing the Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s army withdraw, the remaining cultivators from various factions who had been secretly watching the Nine Mountains Immortal Court were filled with excitement. Unable to contain themselves any longer, they swarmed towards the Immortal City.   The capital of a top Immortal Emperor faction was bound to contain vast resources. Even if the Heavenly Demon Holy Land plundered most of them, there would undoubtedly be some left.   If they could obtain them,   it would naturally be a great opportunity.   However—   once they actually entered the Immortal City and began searching for resources, the joy on these cultivators’ faces gradually faded, replaced by a gloomy expression.   ”Pah, the Heavenly Demon Holy Land is truly plundering, leaving no resources behind!”   ”Who’s so wicked as to dig the ground three hundred feet deeper? Aren’t they going to die!”   ”Damn it—”   Many cultivators couldn’t help but curse, their words filled with condemnation of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.   If the Heavenly Demon Holy Land were here, they wouldn’t dare to speak so harshly, but now that the Heavenly Demon Holy Land was gone, they could vent their anger and no longer have to worry so much.   …   A month later.   Shen Changqing returned to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.   News of the battle in the Xuanxiao Territory had already reached the Tianxing Territory.   Upon learning that the Heavenly Demon Holy Land had annihilated the Nine Mountains Immortal Court, the entire Tianxing Territory was in an uproar.   This was different from the initial defeat of the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s army.   Defeating an immortal court’s army was undoubtedly more difficult than actually destroying an entire immortal court.   Although the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor was currently absent from the Immortal Court, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s depth and strength were still not to be underestimated.   The Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s ability to annihilate the Nine Mountains Immortal Court with sheer force was a testament to its immense strength.   Suddenly,   the Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s reputation grew even more resounding.   Even the cultivators of Yunjin Prefecture were keeping a low profile, daring not to make any moves.   Meanwhile,   within   the Heavenly Demon Holy Land,   Shen Changqing had already distributed the many resources he had seized, rewarding them according to their merits.   Naturally, he received the lion’s share.   The remaining resources went to the Demon God Rāhu and the other holy land cultivators.   Although only a small amount of resources, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s profound foundation meant that any cultivator possessing such resources would be delighted.   Meanwhile,   Shen Changqing also focused his attention on other cultivation resources.   Ordinary immortal elixirs aside ,   let’s consider the inherited cultivation techniques.   There are three inheritances directly leading to the late Immortal Emperor stage, three to the mid-level Immortal Emperor stage, eleven to the initial Immortal Emperor stage, and even more to the ancient immortal realm.   It’s fair to say   that these Immortal Emperor inheritances alone represent a tremendous opportunity for many sects and forces.   For example, the Xuantian Dao Sect once lacked any powerful Immortal Emperor inheritances.   Even now,   the only truly respectable one within the Xuantian Dao Sect is the Dustless Immortal Scripture.   It’s fair to say that   these seventeen Immortal Emperor inheritances are far superior in the eyes of many factions.   Furthermore,   Shen Changqing discovered several recipes for seventh-level immortal elixirs.   One of these recipes even astonished him:   the Heaven-Snatching Fortune Pill!   A seventh-grade, top-grade elixir recipe!   The elixir created from this recipe has a single effect: to extend a cultivator’s lifespan by 100 million years.   Furthermore,   each cultivator can only take three pills.   Even so, Shen Changqing understood the power of the Heaven-Snatching Creation Pill.   Three Heaven-Snatching Creation Pills are equivalent to 300 million years of lifespan. While   this   is significantly inferior to the immortal elixir, which promises a second life, it   still   demonstrates the pill’s power.

After all, for many cultivators, even an extra 1.8 million to 2.5 million years, let alone 300 million years, would be enough to defy fate.

Three hundred million years is enough time to accomplish many things.

Of course,

while these elixirs are undoubtedly precious, the sheer number of ingredients required to refine them also makes Shen Changqing’s scalp tingle.

These elixirs are at best top-tier Immortal Emperor-level elixirs, and gathering them in their entirety is no easy feat.

Furthermore, the refining requirements for elixirs

of this caliber

are notoriously complex.

Although Shen Changqing is currently a seventh-rank lower-grade Alchemy Grandmaster, refining a top-tier seventh-rank Heaven-Defying Creation Pill is still a significant step down.

Despite Shen Changqing’s rapid progress in Alchemy, once he reaches the seventh rank, the difficulty of subsequent breakthroughs increases significantly.

Truly reaching the pinnacle of the seventh rank is bound to be far from easy.

Furthermore,

Shen Changqing also discovered a batch of ninth-rank star cores and a fragmented tenth-rank star core.

When this incomplete tenth-tier star core appeared, Shen Changqing automatically discarded everything else, his entire attention focused on it.

This supreme treasure,

second only to the immortal elixir and the supreme-grade immortal stone, was of the utmost importance to him .

After briefly attending to matters at the Heavenly Demon Holy Land and directing Yan Wuxiang and other cultivators to gather the ninth-tier star cores necessary for cultivating the Primordial Star Domain Sutra,

Shen Changqing returned to the Immortal Palace and began preparing for his retreat.

…

In the first level of space.

“Incomplete tenth-tier star core!”

“If I can refine this incomparable treasure, the Primordial Star Domain Sutra will definitely see a significant improvement and breakthrough. Even if I can’t reach the realm of great perfection all at once, it will certainly allow me to further enhance my strength!”

Shen Changqing gazed at the fist-sized star core before him. It was filled with a powerful pressure, a vast, ancient aura as if precipitated by eons of time.

Just the moment his divine consciousness entered it, Shen Changqing felt his sea of consciousness tremble, as if he were witnessing an ancient star standing for eons in the chaos. The suffocating desolation and loneliness nearly overwhelmed him.

This level of star core truly couldn’t compare to a ninth-tier star core.

Without sufficient cultivation, even dreaming of refining such a star core would be impossible.

With this in mind,

Shen Changqing temporarily set aside the star core in his hand, intending to refine the other ninth-tier star cores first before returning to refine the tenth-tier star core.

In the battle at the Nine Mountains Immortal Court,

Shen Changqing had easily defeated two great emperors, demonstrating his strength beyond words.

But even so,

he remained unconceited.

After all, there are always those beyond the heavens.

Above the Immortal Emperor,

there are still semi-saints striving for immortality.

Even if one has truly reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm, there’s still a long way to go before reaching the level of a semi-saint.

Before breaking through to the semi-saint realm, Shen Changqing’s priority was to fully enhance his strength within the Immortal Emperor realm, ensuring he would have the confidence to face the immortal semi-saints in the future.

This time, a total of forty-two ninth-grade star cores were recovered from the Nine Mountains Immortal Court, one of which reached the pinnacle of the ninth rank.

Even without the incomplete tenth-grade star core, if all of these ninth-grade cores could be refined, the Primordial Star Domain Sutra would achieve a significant breakthrough.

With this thought in mind,

Shen Changqing cast aside all distracting thoughts and silently cultivated.

…

In the chaotic void,

a figure streaked across the void.

If the Demon God Rāhu were present, he would have spotted this figure: it was none other than the Star Lord Tianyue.

The moment the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s protective formation shattered, the Star Lord Tianyue sensed something was amiss.

So, when the Martial Demon Emperor and other powerful figures launched their battle against the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, he quietly left the Nine Mountains Immortal Court and observed the battle from the shadows. It wasn’t

until he witnessed Shen Changqing slay the two great emperors with thunderous force that the Star Lord Tianyue realized the Nine Mountains Immortal Court was powerless.

The power of the Celestial Demon Lord had reached a terrifying level.

Aside from the Celestial Emperor, no one in the entire Nine Mountains Celestial Court could rival him.

Therefore,

Tianyue Star Lord abandoned all other thoughts and headed directly for Primal Chaos to search for the Nine Mountains Celestial Emperor.

An unknown amount of time passed before

Tianyue Star Lord arrived somewhere deep within Primal Chaos. He witnessed a spatial tremor, revealing the ancient Secret Realm of Immortality had already been opened.

Although powerful auras still lingered around the secret realm, Tianyue Star Lord ignored them and plunged headfirst into it.

Once inside,

Tianyue Star Lord attempted to contact them using the Jade Communication Talisman.

Half a day later,

a powerful aura descended, and a majestic and overbearing figure ascended through the air, appearing directly before him.

“Why are you here?”

The Nine Mountains Celestial Emperor gazed at Tianyue Star Lord, a sense of foreboding rising within him.

Upon seeing the Nine Mountains Celestial Emperor’s appearance, the Star Lord of the Nine Mountains Celestial Court felt an urge to burst into tears.

“Your Majesty…”
