Chapter 3358: Trouble with Xuanqing Immortal Sect

“Your Majesty, the elixir is complete. Now is the perfect time to strike!”

Jian Xu hurriedly spoke at the moment the elixir tribulation dissipated.

However,

Shen Changqing did not move.

“No hurry, let’s see!”

Meanwhile,

Xu Yangzi, prepared, had already made a direct move, reaching for the three elixirs, intending to take them all.

But at this moment, a crimson ray of cold light pierced through the void. In that instant, a strong warning surged within Xu Yangzi, causing him to crush a jade talisman without a second thought.

“Bang!”

A mighty sword energy shattered the void, fiercely colliding with the crimson ray.

Almost instantly, the crimson ray shattered, but the remaining force, unstoppable, slashed in the direction of the crimson ray.

The next moment,

several more rays of cold light shot out, accurately impacting the sword energy, barely negating the force of the previous attack.

“The power of a semi-saint!”

Immortal Emperor Dayi grasped the Sunset Divine Bow in his right hand, suppressing the boiling energy within his body.

But in that brief moment of delay, just as Xu Yangzi was about to seize the Sainthood Pill, a terrifying force descended from the void, interrupting his movements.

The moment this force erupted, the three pills were affected and instantly scattered in all directions.

“Not good!”

Xu Yangzi’s face changed. He grabbed one of the Sainthood Pills and fled into the depths of the void without a backward glance, not even bothering to notice the other Immortal Emperors of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect.

The remaining two Sainthood Pills had now vanished into the void.

An Immortal Emperor, lurking in the shadows, made a move to snatch the Sainthood Pills, leaving them no time to pursue Xu Yangzi.

A fierce battle

erupted in the void.

While not every Immortal Emperor knew the origins of these pills, the vast pill tribulation that had just occurred was witnessed by all.

Naturally, such an eighth-grade immortal pill was impossible to give away.

Meanwhile,

Shen Changqing and Jianxu vanished into thin air.

A moment later,

Shen Changqing held a blood-colored immortal pill in his hand.

The Daoist rhyme contained within this elixir was terrifying and astonishing, far more terrifying than any other elixir he had ever encountered.

“This is the Immortal Elixir of Entry into Sagehood!”

“A heaven-defying elixir that can grant one the first step toward immortality!”

Shen Changqing’s eyes gleamed with brilliance. This elixir was undoubtedly more precious than the Immortal Elixir.

After all, no

matter how powerful the Immortal Elixir was,

it only granted one more life.

And for many Immortal Emperors, even another life wouldn’t guarantee a breakthrough to the Demigod realm, granting them eternal life.

But the Immortal Elixir of Entry into Sagehood was different.

Consuming this elixir instantly catapulted them into the Semi-Sage realm, granting them an infinite lifespan.

Even if they never advanced again, remaining stuck at the Semi-Sage level for the rest of their lives, it was still sufficient for other cultivators.

Having achieved a breakthrough in a realm that was impossible to reach in the first place, subsequent breakthroughs became less important.

However—

at that moment,

the void trembled.

A terrifying force, suppressing the void, descended, slamming down upon Shen Changqing. Shen Changqing

‘s expression remained unchanged as he launched a powerful punch. The moment the two forces collided, a destructive force erupted, instantly reducing the surrounding void to dust.

The Immortal Emperors who had been hiding in the shadows to attack suddenly changed their expressions and were about to retreat without a second thought.

But at that moment,

Shen Changqing transformed his finger into a sword, and a savage sword energy pierced through the chaotic universe. Almost instantly, it pierced through Shen Changqing’s body, slaying him directly within the void.

Immediately afterwards,

Shen Changqing took a step forward, flicking his sleeves, and the Immortal-Exterminating Sword Formation enveloped the vast void. The instant the Heaven-Slaying Formation appeared, the numerous Immortal Emperors who had been hiding in the shadows, seeking the Sainthood Pill, were forced to reveal themselves.

“Fellow Daoist Shenhong, we mean no harm!”

“Spare my life—”

The Immortal Emperors were terrified beneath the Immortal-Exterminating Sword Formation.

However,

Shen Changqing, with a cold expression, immediately activated the Immortal-Exterminating Sword Formation. Its terrifying, murderous sword energy choked all who remained hidden, instantly slain. Immortal Emperor after

Immortal Emperor fell in a shower of blood.

The murderous aura of the Immortal-Exterminating Sword Formation seemed to grow even more powerful.

A moment later,

Shen Changqing, with a flick of his mind, absorbed the Immortal-Exterminating Sword Formation into his sea of consciousness. Immediately, his figure vanished into thin air.

The extermination of these Immortal Emperors

was inevitable.

From the moment these Immortal Emperors secretly staked out their claim to the Sainthood Pill, the outcome was sealed.

After all, if news of such a heaven-defying elixir were to leak, it would cause a commotion among numerous factions,

even those with a strong foundation in immortality.

While the Heavenly Demon Holy Land was currently formidable, if word of the Sainthood Elixir leaked, it would be difficult to secure this opportunity.

Even

the forces previously allegedly allied with it, like the Hidden Sword Sect, might be tempted to attack the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

With the opportunity to attain immortality before their very eyes, how many could resist the temptation?

Therefore,

the news of the Sainthood Elixir in his possession must not be leaked.

Furthermore,

entering the Immortal Palace of Longevity and vying for the opportunity to attain Semi-Sainthood was already a matter of preparing for death. Naturally, Shen Changqing felt no burden in slaying these Immortal Emperors.

A fight for opportunity!

Life and death are left to fate! At

this moment

, a terrifying aura still lingered in the void

, indicating that the competition for the remaining Sainthood Elixir remained fierce.

Shen Changqing looked at Jianxu standing nearby and asked, “Do you know how to leave this Changsheng Palace?”

“If I want to leave Changsheng Palace, there’s no other way but to wait ten years.

Once the ten years are up, the restrictions on this palace will be triggered, and all non-Changsheng Palace inhabitants will be expelled.”

Jianxu

paused, then bowed to Shen Changqing.

“The loneliness of Changsheng Palace is unbearable. I hope Your Excellency will take me away with you!”

“Yes,”

Shen Changqing nodded. With a flick of his mind, Jianxu’s figure vanished, leaving behind only an immortal elixir imbued with astonishing Daoist aura.

“Stay in my celestial universe for a while. Once I leave Changsheng Palace, I will release you.”

“Thank you, Your Excellency!”

The immortal elixir trembled, and Jianxu’s grateful voice emanated from it.

Shen Changqing waved his sleeve, and the elixir entered the celestial universe.

When he left the Changsheng Immortal Palace later, Jianxu could leave with him.

Shen Changqing didn’t want to leave this Fortune Elixir in the Changsheng Immortal Palace.

Although

Jianxu was merely a Fortune Elixir refined by the former Venerable Danxin, not a true cultivator,   he had survived from ancient times and, having once served the Venerable Danxin, his experiences were undoubtedly extraordinary.

Therefore   ,   he couldn’t simply be dismissed as just another Fortune Elixir.   Bringing him back would be immensely valuable. Apart   from anything else,   the fact that he had observed the Venerable Danxin refine the Supreme Elixir and the insights he gained from it were immensely valuable to Shen Changqing.   Furthermore ,   with Jianxu’s current strength, as long as his power didn’t decline, he could be equivalent to a late-stage Immortal Emperor.   With further nourishment, restoring him to the peak of the Immortal Emperor’s power wouldn’t be a problem.   Of course,   compared to his strength…   Jianxu’s true advantage lies in his reservoir of knowledge.   Even though he’s been trapped within this Changsheng Immortal Palace for ages, his knowledge remains unmatched by ordinary cultivators.   ”Let me ask you, is it possible to directly refine the Entry into Sage Elixir within this Changsheng Immortal Palace and break through to the Semi-Sage realm?”   Shen Changqing pondered a question and asked. As soon as   he finished speaking,   Jianxu’s voice echoed from   his sea of consciousness .   ”The void of this Immortal Palace is suppressed by the Dao rhyme of the Venerable, forbidding Semi-Sages to enter. Similarly, other Immortal Emperors would also find it difficult to break through to the Semi-Sage realm,   even after taking the Entry into Sage Elixir.”   ”So, other cultivators who have obtained the Entry into Sage Elixir can only truly consume it and break through to the Semi-Sage realm after leaving this Changsheng Immortal Palace!”   Shen Changqing smiled. If that were the case, then even if Xu Yangzi had obtained the Entry into Sage Elixir, he wouldn’t be able to break through directly by taking it.   Furthermore,   refining such an elixir   would also require time.   Next,   if news of the Sage Elixir were to spread, it would be enough to send the entire Changsheng Immortal Palace into a frenzy.   Furthermore,   Shen Changqing doubted Xu Yangzi would leave Changsheng Immortal Palace prematurely. Since   Jian Xu had already said so, there was no doubt he was right.   At this thought,   a cold glint flashed in Shen Changqing’s eyes.   ”Now, some grudges need to be settled!”   He considered himself free of any grudges against the Xuanqing Immortal Sect, yet they had already plotted against him, hoping to sacrifice themselves in blood to achieve the Sage Elixir and, by extension, their own path to immortality.   Shen Changqing had never been one for generosity. Since the Xuanqing Immortal Sect had already made their move, he felt compelled to return the favor.   While he couldn’t leave Changsheng Immortal Palace for the time being, that didn’t stop him from causing trouble for them.   Then,   Shen Changqing’s mind moved, and he continued to search for opportunities within Changsheng Immortal Palace.   Meanwhile,   news of the Sage Elixir and the Xuanqing Immortal Sect’s blood sacrifice of hundreds of Immortal Emperors spread like wildfire   .   The entire Changsheng Immortal Palace was shaken.   Many Immortal Emperors were completely frantic.   Some, connected to the hundreds of Immortal Emperors sacrificed in blood, sought revenge against the Xuanqing Immortal Sect, but many more coveted the Entry into Sage Pill.   Of the three Entry into Sage Pills, two were lost due to scrambles, and it was unknown which cultivator had obtained them.   Only the remaining one was clearly in Xu Yangzi’s possession.   Therefore,   Immortal Emperors from all sides were searching for Xu Yangzi with all their might, hoping to obtain the Entry into Sage Pill from him.
