Chapter 3392 The Current Situation of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land

“Fight the Ancient Semi-Saint!”

“That

person’s strength has become even stronger—” In the fallen Immortal Realm, Qingtian, clad in a blood-red imperial robe, read the news, his eyes gleaming with a gleam of light.

To be honest,

even though Qingtian believed he knew Shen Changqing well enough, he couldn’t help but be deeply shocked by this news.

As an Immortal Emperor,

after all, an ancient Semi-Saint.

Such a foundation,

not even the Changsheng Divine Sect possessed.

It’s undeniable that

the Changsheng Divine Sect is indeed home to many powerful individuals, including some

Semi-Saints who aspire to immortality.

However—

numbers are one thing, but at the level of the Immortal Emperor, no one can rival that person.

Even the other so-called Holy Sons of the Changsheng Divine Sect are the same. Any cultivator

who is noticed by the Changsheng Divine Sect Master, accepted as a personal disciple, and becomes a Holy Son of the Divine Sect generally possesses exceptional talent and foundation.

Some of these Holy Sons even rival the powerful individuals mentioned in the Immortal Emperor Monument.

But to say that an Immortal Emperor could rival an ancient Semi-Saint was absurd.   Upon hearing this news, the other powerful members of the Immortal Cult were deeply shocked.

”   Saints who have re-cultivated are not uncommon in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, but I’ve never heard of one who possesses such profound foundations at the Immortal Emperor level—”   Venerable Shenxing’s expression darkened.   As an elder of the Immortal Cult, his cultivation had also reached the Five Tribulations Realm. He naturally understood the true strength of ancient Semi-Saints like Jiang Linyuan.   Even a wounded Five Tribulations Semi-Saint could easily suppress some newly ascended Immortals.   Now,   he was suffering at the hands of an Immortal Emperor. This   demonstrated the latter’s profound background.   Qingtian had recovered by now, his expression calm. “The Mingguang Holy Land has been destroyed, the three great immortal sects, the Yunlei Immortal Sect, have also perished. The remaining Cangfeng Sword Sect and Jueqing Immortal Sect have all suffered significant losses.   This presents a rare opportunity. Pass the word down; have the other judges expedite their actions!”   ”Yes—”   Venerable Shenxing nodded.   The other judges naturally complied.   Then,   Qingtian gazed at the numerous cultivators before him. A blood-red glint suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes. A terrifying and eerie power emanated from him, instantly engulfing the cultivators.   In a matter of moments,   the cultivators’ spirits were completely devoured. The divine   light in each cultivator’s eyes faded, and no sound remained.   At the same time,   an extremely powerful spiritual force erupted from Qingtian’s sea of consciousness. It was as if his spirit were undergoing some kind of transformation, causing his aura to vibrate violently.   This scene   caught Venerable Shenxing’s eye, and his expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.   ”The cultivation of a beginner Immortal Emperor is comparable to the soul of a late Immortal Emperor!”   It was clear that   Qingtian possessed a top-tier inheritance.   Otherwise,   how could a mere beginner Immortal Emperor possess the soul power of a late Immortal Emperor?   After all,   the soul is the most difficult to cultivate.   For many cultivators at the beginner level, the soul power is only comparable to their realm. Breaking free from their limitations and entering a higher realm is incredibly difficult.   Now,   Qingtian, with his beginner Immortal Emperor cultivation, had elevated his soul to the late Immortal Emperor stage—a feat not to be underestimated.   However—   despite this,   Venerable Shenxing didn’t take it too seriously.   It was merely an Immortal Emperor’s method. No matter how profound, it was insignificant to a Semi-Saint like him, who had already reached the Five Tribulations Realm.   Such methods that could enhance the soul of an Immortal Emperor wouldn’t necessarily work for a Semi-Saint.   After all,   the gap between an Immortal Emperor and a Semi-Saint was enormous. Furthermore   ,   a Semi-Saint had experienced the Nine Tribulations.   There’s a vast gulf between a newly promoted Semi-Saint and a Five Tribulations Semi-Saint.   Furthermore, the other party has the Immortal Sect Master, the Holy Son of the Divine Sect, standing behind him.   Venerable Shenxing naturally dares not offend him. A mere Immortal Emperor   is insignificant. But the Immortal Sect Master behind Qingtian strikes fear into Venerable Shenxing’s heart.   Meanwhile,   Qingtian opened his eyes, a gleam of light piercing the void, and a smile suddenly appeared on his indifferent face.   ”Late-stage Immortal Emperor!”   ”Not bad!”   By conquering this immortal realm and suppressing numerous cultivators there for his own nourishment, he finally achieved a breakthrough in the Soul-Devouring Immortal Burial Sutra. His soul power successfully broke free from the shackles of the mid-stage Immortal Emperor and entered the late-stage Immortal Emperor realm.   Now,   his soul power has surged,   allowing Qingtian to sense a significant improvement in his own strength.   While his cultivation hasn’t reached a significant breakthrough, with such a powerful soul as his support, suppressing those of his own level, and even those of higher levels, is a piece of cake.   However—   after his soul had broken through to the late Immortal Emperor stage, Qingtian could already vaguely sense a slight swelling and pain in his sea of consciousness, and a turbulence in his physical body’s qi and blood. Qingtian attributed   this change   to his soul’s overpowered cultivation, his cultivation failing to keep pace, and his physical body’s low level, making it difficult to bear the burden.   ”It seems I need to find a way to improve my cultivation. Even if my cultivation doesn’t improve, I can at least raise my physical body.   Otherwise, judging by my current situation, my soul power has reached its limit at the peak of the late Immortal Emperor stage.   If I try to reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor stage directly, not only will my strength fail to increase, but my sea of consciousness will collapse, and my physical body will completely break down—”   Qingtian’s brow furrowed, the joy on his face fading.   Physical cultivation!   It wasn’t easy either.   The reason his physical body was now comparable to a lower-grade Emperor Immortal artifact was because he was an innate demon god.

Otherwise,

cultivating the physical body to this level would require countless hardships.

Most cultivators at the initial stage of the Immortal Emperor’s physical body are at best at the Half-Step Immortal Emperor level. Breaking this limit and truly entering the Immortal Emperor realm is no easy feat.

However,

within the Changsheng Divine Sect, there are many traditions of cultivating the physical body. With Qingtian’s current status and position, he could certainly find some.

Then,

there’s the issue of cultivation resources.

With this in mind,

Qingtian looked into the void before him.

The fastest way to improve his cultivation right now is to further the Dark Unrest and thereby please the Dark Lord.

If he could gain his favor and reward, he wouldn’t reach heaven overnight, but at least he could avoid many detours.

With the battle in the East Abyss Territory, several immortal forces have been destroyed or severely damaged. This naturally presents an opportunity for the Changsheng Divine Sect.

Moreover,

under such circumstances, Yunjinzhou wouldn’t miss the opportunity.

Yunjinzhou’s reckless actions will only further muddy the waters, which will be even more beneficial to the Immortal Cult.

—Seven

Mysterious Divine Tower.

Within the fourth level.

When the immortal light of life descended again, the few remaining injuries on Shen Changqing’s body had completely healed.

At this moment,

his strength had returned to its peak. Having recovered from his injuries   , Shen Changqing immediately emerged from

seclusion .   Currently,   the atmosphere throughout the Heavenly Demon Holy Land was solemn, stemming from the outbreak of the Dark Turmoil. Although the Tianxing Realm remained unaffected, the constant stream of news of the fall of other immortal realms from the outside world was causing pressure among many cultivators.   Yet, despite the pressure,   no one felt excessive fear.   There was a single reason:   the Heavenly Demon Holy Land now held a top-tier powerhouse, on par with the Immortal Cult.   The battle in the Dongyuan Realm   had firmly established Shen Changqing’s reputation.   The title of Heavenly Demon Saint Lord God resonated throughout many immortal realms.   Especially within the higher-level immortal realms, such a powerhouse, on par with the Immortal Cult, was considered supreme.   Even…   Shen Changqing’s existence   posed a far greater threat than that of any other immortal.   This was because most other immortals faced the limitations of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, preventing them from truly taking action.   However, an Immortal Emperor lacked this vulnerability. More importantly,   Shen Changqing had only been at the Immortal Emperor level for a few hundred thousand years.   Compared to an Immortal Emperor’s lifespan of tens of billions of years, these few hundred thousand years were nothing.   From the perspective of other factions, this Heavenly Demon Saint Lord could,   without a surprise,   remain at his peak for at least another nine billion years.   Even if he couldn’t break through to the Semi-Saint realm, enduring a few more tribulations wouldn’t be a major problem.   Furthermore,   no one believed he wouldn’t be able to break through to the Semi-Saint realm.   While that realm of immortality was an insurmountable chasm for other cultivators, it was a formidable obstacle for this demonic being.   Given the foundation of this Immortal Emperor, who could rival a Semi-Saint, it wasn’t natural talent that limited his breakthrough, but rather the fact that this era didn’t allow immortals to emerge.   When the Great Tribulation arrives and the Way of Immortality is revealed, a breakthrough will be a piece of cake.   Given their profound foundation,   even if they reach the Semi-Saint realm, they will definitely not stop at the First Tribulation level.   Therefore   , naturally, few forces would bother to provoke them.   Even some ancient sects with a legacy of immortality might not be willing to offend the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.   At this moment,   within the Holy Land’s Immortal Hall,   Shen Changqing, dressed in azure, sat at the main seat. Below him were the two Deputy Saint Lords, Yan Wuxiang and Gu Zhou, as well as other Immortal Emperors, such as Heavenly Sovereigns .   Then   came the numerous elders of the Holy Land and the Saint Sons who had reached the Sequence level.   These cultivators were the current high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.   Shen Changqing casually glanced around, taking in everything within the hall.   Twelve Heavenly Sovereigns!   Two Deputy Saint Lords!   Not counting himself, there were already fourteen Immortal Emperor-level experts in the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.   And then   there were thirteen Sequence Saint Sons.   Any genius who can become a sequencer will, barring any unexpected events, be qualified to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm in the future.   With the current Tianyao Holy Land’s vastly increased strength and access to numerous resources, the probability of these sequences breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm has greatly increased.   Furthermore,   many other elders, both great and small, are at least at the peak of the Ancient Immortal realm.   It can be said   that compared to a million years ago, before the Great Tribulation, the current Tianyao Holy Land is vastly more powerful.   The strength that was once severely damaged by the Great Tribulation has not only been fully recovered, but has also surpassed its original level by several levels.   As the ruler of the Tianyao Holy Land, Shen Changqing watches the current grandeur of his forces, and a sense of pride wells up in his heart as he watches the Tianyao Holy Land grow step by step.
