Chapter 3318 The Four Demon Gods

. “The Immortal Elixir!”

“The Tianxing Territory branch of Tongtian Pavilion is actually auctioning off such a heaven-defying item?”

“Impossible… How could a mere high-level immortal realm branch possess such a treasure? This news is definitely fake.”

“Whether it’s true or not remains to be seen, but this news has already spread throughout all the immortal realms. With such a huge fanfare, this is something quite interesting!”

With the Tianxing Territory branch fully operational, the news of the Immortal Elixir auctioning off a century later spread like a hurricane throughout Shenfeng Province.

If such news had come from an ordinary chamber of commerce, other factions would have simply scoffed.

However,

Tongtian Pavilion was different.

This top-tier chamber of commerce, spread across all the immortal realms, possessed unfathomable foundations and an unparalleled reputation.

Therefore,

even if it was just a branch of a high-level immortal realm, the news spread from it convinced most cultivators.

In an instant,

Shenfeng Province was shaken.

Many ancient immortal emperors were now restless.

The reason was simple:

that was the Immortal Elixir!

If they could obtain it, they could live another life.

While most Immortal Emperors understood that their chances of obtaining this immortality elixir were extremely slim based on their own strength and background, they

still felt uneasy if they didn’t go and take a look.

…

“Saint Lord, less than a month after the news of Tongtian Pavilion spread, the number of cultivators from outside the Tianxing Territory has increased dramatically, many of whom are powerful cultivators who have entered the Immortal Emperor realm.”

Yan Wuxiang came to report from the Tianyao Holy Land.

Shen Changqing nodded upon hearing this, “Tongtian Pavilion’s power is indeed formidable. A small branch pavilion only needed a month to spread this matter.”

They had thought it would take at least a year and a half for the news to spread.

Unexpectedly,

in less than a month,

several Immortal Emperors appeared in the Tianxing Territory.

The speed with which such news spread was truly astonishing.

But it also indirectly demonstrated the astonishing depth of Tongtian Pavilion, that a branch pavilion in the Tianxing Territory could wield such means.

At this time.

Yan Wuxiang asked cautiously, “There are rumors out there that this immortality elixir originated from the Holy Land…”

“Indeed, it was indeed given to Tongtian Pavilion by me,”

Shen Changqing said bluntly, looking at Yan Wuxiang with a half-smile.

“Shouldn’t you already know about this?”

“Uh… I’ve heard a little bit, but I’m not entirely sure.”

Yan Wuxiang chuckled, his face unblushing.

Yan Huan, a cultivator of the Yan family, had naturally informed him of this long ago.

But just as Yan Wuxiang had said,

the news of the immortality elixir was too shocking, and he wasn’t sure whether it was true or not, so he used this as an excuse to inquire.

Shen Changqing said, “This immortal elixir was obtained by destroying the Nine Mountains Immortal Court. It’s of no great use to me at this time, and keeping it would be a nuisance. It

‘s better to give it away. This immortal elixir auction is a good opportunity for me to exchange it for some cultivation resources, which will help me prepare for my future ascension to Semi-Sainthood.”

“As it should be!” Yan Wuxiang

nodded solemnly.

He quite agreed with Shen Changqing’s statement.

The immortal elixir is an irresistible temptation for many Immortal Emperors. After all, extending one’s lifespan by billions of years is not something anyone can ignore.   But

this Saint Lord, not even a single Immortal King’s age, has already reached the Immortal Emperor realm, and his strength rivals that of those at the Immortal Emperor Monument.   It’s almost inevitable that he will achieve immortality.   The immortal elixir’s greatest benefit is its lifespan extension.   For those without immortality, it’s an indispensable treasure, but for those who have already achieved it, the immortal elixir is less important.   ”For now, keep a close eye on the situation in the Tianxing Territory. As for Tianyao Xiancheng, I’ll have other Immortal Emperors take charge there.”   Shen Changqing waved his hand, and Yan Wuxiang respectfully withdrew.   After the other party left, Shen Changqing fell into a moment of deep thought.   ”Perhaps I should also establish a chamber of commerce!”   The resources he would need for his future cultivation would inevitably increase in number and become increasingly scarce. Collecting them solely through the Xingdao Alliance would naturally be difficult.   After all, many of the Xingdao Alliance’s acquired demon gods had either joined other factions, established their own factions, or existed as independent cultivators.   Regardless, gathering resources wouldn’t be as effective as a chamber of commerce.   Shen Changqing had harbored the idea of establishing a chamber of commerce since he first saw the Tianyun Pavilion, but he had never taken any real action.   This was because establishing a chamber of commerce solely for a particular immortal realm wouldn’t present any major concerns. With the Tianyao Holy Land as its backing, such a chamber of commerce would be fully capable of surviving in the Tianxing Territory and growing in size and strength, perhaps even rivaling the Tongtian Pavilion’s branch.   But that was all.   Going further   was impossible.   If one wanted to emulate the Tongtian Pavilion and expand the Chamber of Commerce’s business to every immortal realm, it must have sufficient strength and foundation to support it. Otherwise, it would be difficult to survive in other realms.   Even if it did survive, it would be difficult to grow and become strong.   Therefore, Shen Changqing had   always   suppressed this thought.   But this time,   after the Tongtian Pavilion incident, Shen Changqing’s idea resurfaced.   Other forces still did not belong to him. Cooperation was fine, but getting too close wasn’t necessarily a good thing.   Nowadays,   the Heavenly Demon Holy Land had gained some reputation.   The strength of him, the Heavenly Demon Saint, was also obvious to all.   Under these circumstances, establishing a Chamber of Commerce and quietly laying some foundations was a good idea.   As for subsequent expansion, it wouldn’t be a problem to wait until he achieved immortality and then gradually pursue it.   In this way.

It would undoubtedly be much easier to search for the resources needed for future cultivation through his own Chamber of Commerce.

With this in mind,

Shen Changqing looked at the Demon God Daojian.

He had found some demon gods and immediately passed on the news.

Simultaneously,

Shen Changqing summoned the demon gods Rāhu and Ketu.

“Greetings, Holy Lord!”

Upon their arrival, the two men bowed respectfully to Shen Changqing.

Shen Changqing said, “Tongtian Pavilion plans to auction the Immortal Elixir a hundred years from now. Many Immortal Emperors from the Star Region are currently arriving. I’m worried that Tianyao Immortal City, with only Yan Huan, a Half-Step Immortal Emperor, will struggle to maintain stability.

Therefore, I’m sending you two to Tianyao Immortal City to take charge.

As long as they don’t disrupt the order of the Immortal City, you won’t need to interfere too much. However, anyone who disrupts the order will be suppressed, regardless of their identity.

If there are any powerful individuals who are beyond our control, please report to me, and I will personally resolve the situation!”

“Yes!”

The two innate demon gods exchanged a glance and respectfully accepted the order.

They naturally obeyed Shen Changqing’s words.

Immediately,

Shen Changqing waved his hand and dismissed the two.

The power of the Xiantian Demon Gods was not weak; any one of them was comparable to a mid-level Immortal Emperor.

The Demon God Luohou had now tempered some of his Heavenly Evil Dao Bone and possessed the ultimate Imperial Immortal Artifact, the Demon Suppression Mace. He could even face a late-stage Immortal Emperor.

With the Demon God Luohou around, the Heavenly Demon Immortal City wouldn’t be a problem.

Moreover,

the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land was no longer the same as it once was.

The battle at the Nine Mountains Immortal Court was enough to spread the news.

Shen Changqing believed that even some immortal forces, unless they had a mental disorder, would not offend the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land at this time. After

all,

to offend the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land was equivalent to offending a powerful being on par with the top ten Immortal Emperors.

Even if the immortal forces had strong backing, they couldn’t afford to provoke such cultivators in this era.

“Now we just have to wait a hundred years for the Immortal Elixir to go on auction, and then use this opportunity to elevate the Ancient Star Domain Scripture to the Grand Perfection realm!”

Shen Changqing’s eyes sparkled, and his otherwise calm heart began to waver.

A hundred years

wasn’t a long time.

The reason they’d chosen the auction date was to spread the word widely and attract more powerful experts.

An auction,

only by attracting more experts and creating intense competition, could it fetch the desired price.

Shen Changqing wasn’t exactly sure of the final price of the Immortal Elixir,

but he was certain of one thing:

this heaven-defying elixir wouldn’t be too low.

Even if the immortal stones obtained couldn’t elevate the Ancient Star Domain Scripture to the Grand Perfection realm in one fell swoop, they certainly wouldn’t be far off.

If the difference was similar,   Shen Changqing was prepared to use top-grade immortal stones

if necessary .   But he didn’t want to waste them until the very last moment.   Compared to the Immortal Elixir, Shen Changqing cared more about the top-grade immortal stones.   After all, these immortal stones could enhance one’s foundation, playing a significant role in both strength and the subsequent breakthrough to the Semi-Saint realm, overcoming the Divine Tribulation of Eternal Life, and overcoming the Five Decays of Celestial Beings.   In the eyes of other Immortal Emperors, a few top-grade immortal stones were certainly not as precious as the Immortal Elixir.   But in Shen Changqing’s eyes,   top-grade immortal stones were far more valuable than the Immortal Elixir.   This was the main reason why he didn’t sell the top-grade immortal stones, instead submitting the Immortal Elixir to the Tongtian Pavilion for auction.   For those with ample lifespan, the Immortal Elixir’s effects were limited and could not be compared to the top-grade immortal stones   . After arranging his affairs, Shen Changqing returned to his usual routine.   Retreat and cultivate   was his normal routine.   However,   less than six months after the news of the Immortal Elixir spread, and as the outside world continued to ferment, several cultivators quietly arrived at the Heavenly Demon Holy Land without attracting the attention of other forces.   ”Futian (Bai Gu, Tian Yi, and Si Bi) greet Your Majesty!”   The four demon gods were filled with excitement, especially Bai Gu and the others. Having been separated for hundreds of thousands of years, seeing Shen Changqing again, their excitement was beyond words.   Shen Changqing looked at the four of them, a smile on his face.   ”No need to be so polite. It’s been years since we last met. It seems your cultivation has improved significantly. It’s truly a cause for celebration!”
