Chapter 3344: Fifty Million Top-Grade Immortal Stones as Cultivation Resources

. Xuanqing Immortal Sect.

Within the Immortal Palace.

Xu Yangzi arrived again.

“Greetings, Ancestor!”

“What’s the matter?”

Venerable Xuanqing opened his eyes and asked calmly.

Xu Yangzi said, “The Nine Mountains Immortal Court was destroyed, and the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor was severely injured and fled at the hands of Shen Hong. This individual’s strength is formidable, and his physical form is even more terrifying. Even the force of the Innate Imperial Weapon’s self-destruction couldn’t completely destroy him.

Truly confronting such a being is likely to be far from easy!”

With these words,

Venerable Xuanqing’s previously indifferent expression finally changed.

“Defeating the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor and withstanding the force of the Innate Imperial Weapon’s self-destruction with his physical form—this individual is truly remarkable!” The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor

was undoubtedly a formidable figure.

He was a powerful being aspiring to the tenth place on the Immortal Emperor Monument,

a position no cultivator had been able to challenge for years. Anyone who could reach this level was only a hair’s breadth away from becoming a Semi-Saint.

As for the latter,

that was even more impressive.

An Innate Imperial Weapon!

If such a supreme treasure were to self-destruct, even a Semi-Saint wouldn’t be able to escape unscathed.

Now,

for an Immortal Emperor to resist with his physical body was certainly somewhat shocking. However, after a brief moment of shock,   Venerable Xuanqing

quickly recovered.

“To be able to withstand the force of the innate imperial weapon’s self-detonation only demonstrates the strength of this individual’s physical body, but I don’t think it’s truly on par with a Semi-Saint. Otherwise, the Heavenly Emperor of the Nine Mountains Immortal Court would have no chance of escaping alive.   As long as he hasn’t reached the level of a Semi-Saint, then there won’t be much of a problem!”   Venerable Xuanqing said calmly.   ”Everything, proceed according to plan!”   ”Junior understands!”   Xu Yangzi said respectfully.   —   The Immortal Cult of Immortality.   When news of the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s defeat reached them, many Dark Immortal Emperors were shaken.   Now, their gazes toward Qingtian were filled with a touch of admiration.   ”Holy Son, wise!”   ”Shen Hong’s power is formidable. There’s really no need for our Immortal Cult to antagonize him over a single immortal realm!”   ”I never expected this person’s strength to be so profoundly hidden. Even the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor is no match for him—”   Many judges were shocked. This news was truly a shock to them.   Such a being could be considered the most powerful being below the Immortal.   While the Immortal Cult now possessed a few Immortals, their number was ultimately small. There was no point in confronting such a formidable being unless necessary.   The Celestial Realm controlled many immortal realms, but a small one like it wasn’t worth antagonizing such a formidable being.   Qingtian’s expression was calm: “That Heavenly Demon Saint Lord is no ordinary being. The outcome of this battle with the Nine Mountains Immortal Court was determined from the start. All we have to do now is bide our time, attack other immortal realms, and expand the dark turmoil.”   Just as he had said.   From the outset,   Qingtian hadn’t believed the Nine Mountains Immortal Court could threaten the Celestial Demon Sacred Land.   Others didn’t know about that person, so how could he not know?   With that person’s means, a mere Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor was nothing to mention.   Facts proved that   Qingtian’s assumption was correct.   In that battle, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court suffered a crushing defeat. If the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor hadn’t kept a backup plan, he would have perished in the Heavenly Star Region.   However,   rather than saying that the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s backup plan saved his life, Qingtian was more inclined to believe that Shen Changqing deliberately refrained from killing him.   After all, killing him meant taking away his rank on the Immortal Emperor Monument.   With that person’s pride, how could he care about a mere tenth place on the Immortal Emperor Monument? If   he didn’t fight for it, it   would be fine. If he did,   he would at least be in the top three, or even the top.   Therefore,   Qingtian was not surprised that the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor escaped alive.   At this time.   Qingtian changed the subject, “News has arrived that the Yunlei Immortal Sect’s Immortal Immortal is about to undergo a tribulation.   Once that immortal transcends the Five Decays of Heaven, it will be our Immortal Divine Sect’s last chance. When that happens, the six hundred high-level immortal realms will be in chaos   . Our sect will be able to march unimpeded, spreading our Lord’s name throughout the six hundred high-level immortal realms and earning the world’s praise!” As Qingtian spoke, the expressions of all the Dark Immortal Emperors grew enthusiastic, chanting the Dark Forbidden Lord’s name.   However   , no one noticed the fleeting, barely perceptible flicker of indifference in Qingtian’s eyes.   The external turmoil   had no impact on the Tianxing Domain.   The battle at the Nine Mountains Immortal Court had greatly bolstered the reputation of the Tianxing Domain.   Previously, with the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land at its helm, many powers dared not tamper with the Tianxing Domain. After this battle, the Tianxing Domain became even more formidable.   Everyone knew that the Tianxing Domain now possessed an almighty Immortal Emperor capable of suppressing the tenth-ranked Immortal Emperor.   Suppressing such a being would be nearly impossible for a Semi-Saint without the intervention of a cultivator of the other half.   However,   forces with semi-saints looked down on the tiny Tianxing Domain.   Forces that looked down on the Tianxing Domain lacked any semi-saints.   Consequently,   instability in the Tianxing Domain was difficult to achieve.   Even with the massive invasion from Yunjin Province, no one would dare to challenge the Tianyao Holy Land. After   all,   the Sushan Domain, home to the Jiushan Immortal Court, was ranked over 200th among the high-level immortal realms. The   fact that they could dominate the Sushan Domain was a testament to their power.   Even a powerful force like the Jiushan Immortal Court was defeated in the Tianxing Domain, with nearly all of its members perishing. Even more so were other forces.   While the two states were at war, these forces could only meddle in high-level immortal realms, and their strength was inherently limited.   Naturally, no one was willing to confront the Tianyao Holy Land at a time like this.   Therefore,   after the catastrophe in the Tianxing Domain, peace naturally returned.

Of course—

if this battle had resulted in mutual destruction for both the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land and the Nine Mountains Immortal Court, that would have been a different story.

But alas,

in this battle,

the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land suffered few losses.

While several Immortal Emperors had fallen, as long as Shen Changqing survived, the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land would remain unshakable.

However,   Shen Changqing had little regard for

matters outside .   Ever since his meeting with Jiang Linyuan, he had returned to seclusion, cultivating.   The Extreme Yang Universe had already been opened up.   Next,   preparations must be made for the opening of the Extreme Yin Universe.   Before that,   Shen Changqing’s priority was to cultivate the Extreme Yang Universe to its ultimate limit.   For a normal Immortal Emperor to cultivate a universe to its limit would inevitably require a long period of gradual accumulation.   But   Shen Changqing was different.   With hundreds of millions of high-grade immortal stones in his possession,   he had ample confidence.   Since the Zhutian Chamber of Commerce hadn’t developed much at the moment, Shen Changqing had simply purchased a full 30 million high-grade immortal stones from the Tongtian Pavilion as cultivation resources.   Among them were not only seventh-grade and top-grade immortal pills, but also numerous others.   These pills   were all primarily designed to improve cultivation.   If these 30 million top-grade immortal stones were used on other ancient immortals, they would be enough to give rise to many powerful immortal emperors.   If they were used on other immortal emperors, it would be easy for them to open up several universes.   Therefore,   with such resources,   Shen Changqing naturally had enough confidence to cultivate the Extreme Yang Universe to its peak in a short period of time, preparing for the subsequent opening of the Extreme Yin Universe.   Moreover,   even if 30 million top-grade immortal stones were not enough for cultivation, Shen Changqing had no worries. 30   million was not enough, then 40 million. 40   million   was not enough, then 50 million.   After all, he now had a large number of immortal stones. No matter what, even if he used them purely to attack, he would be able to improve his cultivation.   …   Time passed.   In the outside world, five thousand years had passed in the blink of an eye.   In the first level of space, Shen Changqing had already refined the last of his medicinal pills. A scorching aura emanated from him, and the phantom of the Jiyang Universe emerged from the void, as if a Chaos Divine Phoenix had emerged from the universe, its wings spreading to overturn billions of galaxies.   Only after all the strange phenomena in the universe faded did Shen Changqing conclude his retreat.   ”Five hundred thousand years!”   ”Thirty million high-grade immortal stones!”   ”I never thought that even with all this, I still can’t cultivate the Jiyang Universe to its ultimate limit—”   Shen Changqing opened his eyes, sensing the changes within himself, a look of surprise on his face.   Although he had been prepared for this outcome, the sight of it still left him shaken.   With so many resources, any other Immortal Emperor would have more than enough to create, not just one, but several.   But with all these resources poured into Shen Changqing, the Jiyang Universe barely took a major step forward. There was still a long way to go before it could reach its ultimate limit.   Shen Changqing estimated   this gap .   At least another twenty million high-grade immortal stones would be needed.   Twenty million high-grade immortal stones   wasn’t much for Shen Changqing, of course.   But for other Immortal Emperors, twenty million high-grade immortal stones was a significant sum.   Furthermore, if you add in   the thirty million high-grade immortal stones mentioned above,   the total resources would already reach fifty million high-grade immortal stones.   ”If it weren’t for that immortal elixir, even if the Heavenly Demon Holy Land were fully mining the Tailuo Immortal Mine right now, it wouldn’t be easy to supply fifty million high-grade immortal stones.   At the current annual yield of seven hundred high-grade immortal stones at the Tailuo Immortal Mine, fifty million high-grade immortal stones would take at least hundreds of thousands of years.”   Shen Changqing shook his head.   Hundreds of thousands of years might not seem like a long time to an average Immortal Emperor,   but in Shen Changqing’s view, hundreds of thousands of years in the outside world were enough time for many things to happen.   So far, he’d only been ascending to the upper realm for less than a million years.   Technically,   it was over eight hundred thousand years.   Saving hundreds of thousands of years, and then extending it a hundredfold using the first level of space, that would be a full tens of millions of years.   Such a long time is enough for Shen Changqing’s strength to undergo earth-shaking changes.   Not to mention.   At present, the catastrophe of Shenfengzhou has broken out, and the stability of Tianxing Domain may be overturned at any time. It is safer to improve the strength as early as possible.   Take the battle of Jiushan Xianting as an example.   If I hadn’t broken through the Taikoo Xingyu Sutra and Tiansha Xianting Sutra first, it would not be so easy for Shen Changqing to defeat Jiushan Xianting.   If both sides are defeated, the subsequent impact will be quite tricky.   It can be said that   one step ahead is one step ahead. One   step behind is one step behind.   Saving hundreds of thousands of years for the outside world is of course very important to Shen Changqing.   ——   PS: One chapter later!
