Chapter 3395 Unfathomable Existence

. The Great Yi Immortal Emperor hesitated to speak.

Shen Changqing raised his hand to interrupt.

“King Yi, if you have something to say, why not speak frankly? Why beat around the bush!”

“Well, fellow Daoist, you’re straightforward. Then I won’t waste my words. His Majesty values you highly. If the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land is willing to serve the Divine Sun Immortal Court,

then the Divine Sun Immortal Court can resolve the troubles of the two great immortal sects.”

The Great Yi Immortal Emperor’s expression straightened, and he directly stated the purpose of his trip.

His words

startled Shen Changqing.

He had considered many possibilities, but the idea of the Divine Sun Immortal Court directly wooing him was something he hadn’t anticipated.

However,

on second thought,

Shen Changqing felt relieved.

The battles between the North Star Region and the East Abyss Region had clearly demonstrated the strength of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land, but ultimately, the primary reason lay in Shen Changqing’s own strength.

It wasn’t that Shen Changqing was arrogant,

but rather that he had immense confidence in himself.

To be honest,

Shen Changqing was indeed somewhat tempted by the Great Yi Immortal Emperor’s words.

After all, the Shenyang Immortal Court is a top-tier power. If it could secure the protection of another power, it would be able to protect itself during the current catastrophe.

If it were any more commonplace, Shen Changqing would naturally disregard it.

But the point remains.

The Shenyang Immortal Court is different.

For a power this apex

, even a small price to pay for a chance to recuperate is a sure win.

Seeing Shen Changqing lost in thought, the Great Yi Immortal Emperor spoke up, “Also, as I said before, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor holds you in high regard.

If the Heavenly Demon Holy Land is willing to serve the Immortal Court, we will certainly not treat you unfairly.

His Majesty also wishes to meet you. If you agree, you can proceed to the Immortal Court to face His Majesty!”

With these words,

Shen Changqing took a deep breath and said, “This matter concerns the future of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land. I still need to consider it, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to give Prince Yi a response at this time.

How about Prince Yi return first, and I’ll inform you once I’ve discussed it with the other elders?

“

This caused the Great Yi Immortal Emperor to frown slightly.

Although Shen Changqing didn’t say it explicitly, he could hear the refusal in his words.

Seeing this,

the Great Yi Immortal Emperor took a deep breath and nodded slightly: “Since that’s the case, then I will wait patiently for good news from you, fellow Daoist!”

With that,

the Great Yi Immortal Emperor stood up.

“This matter is concluded. I will take my leave now.”

“Goodbye, Lord Yi!”

Shen Changqing also stood up and escorted him out of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

Before leaving,

the Great Yi Immortal Emperor suddenly asked, “Have I met you before?”

“Lord Yi, have you forgotten? We certainly met in the Xuanxiao Territory back then.”

“Farewell!”

The Great Yi Immortal Emperor gave Shen Changqing a deep look, but without further questioning, he disappeared.

The smile on Shen Changqing’s face faded as he looked in the direction he had disappeared.

He didn’t know if he had noticed anything, but Shen Changqing didn’t particularly care.

Even if he knew his true identity, what would it matter?

With his current strength, he no longer needed to be as timid as before.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm was vast!

The outside world was boundless chaos!

Shen Changqing believed that with his strength, he could easily conquer it.

Moreover,

with his own concealment skills, Shen Changqing doubted that the other party could see through his true intentions.

At most, this person would notice something different, but revealing his true identity would be impossible.

Then,

Shen Changqing drifted back.

Not long after, Yan

Wuxiang arrived to pay his respects.

“Excuse me, Holy Lord, what is the purpose of that Great Chess Immortal Emperor’s visit?”

he asked cautiously. After all, the Great Chess Immortal Emperor was backed by the Divine Sun Immortal Court, so he naturally had to treat it with caution.

Shen Changqing didn’t hide anything, his expression calm, “He’s here to represent the Divine Sun Immortal Court and win over the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.”

“That’s a good thing!”

Yan Wuxiang’s expression was startled, and then a smile suddenly broke out on his face.

The Divine Sun Immortal Court had a formidable foundation. If the Heavenly Demon Holy Land could count them as a supporter, many problems would be a piece of cake.

“I refuse!”

Shen Changqing’s words stunned Yan Wuxiang for a moment, the smile on his face vanishing, replaced by a look of confusion.

“The Divine Sun Immortal Court is powerful. If the Holy Land can rely on it for support, the benefits should outweigh the risks.”

“The Divine Sun Immortal Court is indeed powerful, but a large tree attracts winds. This catastrophe will not be so simple. Whether such a powerful force can survive the catastrophe safely is still uncertain.

If the Divine Sun Immortal Court truly encounters problems, the Heavenly Demon Holy Land will be annihilated in an instant under such a storm.

Moreover—” “

If the Heavenly Demon Holy Land allys with the Divine Sun Immortal Court, it will be subject to obedience. If the Divine Sun Immortal Court issues an order in the future, it will be difficult for the Holy Land to refuse.”

Shen Changqing’s words made Yan Wuxiang fall into deep thought.

It’s undeniable.

Such concerns do exist.

While relying on a powerful force has its advantages, the disadvantages are equally obvious.   Shen Changqing didn’t elaborate

further .   These words were only part of the story.   The real reason he rejected the Great Yi Immortal Emperor’s offer was that he wanted him to visit the Divine Sun Immortal Court.   The Divine Sun Immortal Court was teeming with powerful individuals, so Shen Changqing naturally couldn’t risk going.   While such a force was unlikely to do anything to him, a gentleman shouldn’t stand under a dangerous wall; it was still better to be cautious.   Therefore ,   when the Great Yi Immortal Emperor spoke, Shen Changqing was slightly tempted, but only slightly.

Compared to the risks involved, these advantages are negligible.

Meanwhile,

Yan Wuxiang had also put the matter behind him.

Since Shen Changqing had already refused, there was no point in dwelling on the Shenyang Immortal Court.

He gathered his thoughts briefly and said, “Rumors of the Tailuo Immortal Mine are already circulating outside. It’s very likely that the two major immortal sects are fanning the flames.”

“This is to be expected. Don’t dwell on it too much. How are the preparations going at the Holy Land?”

Shen Changqing remained calm, unsurprised by the news.

Ever since Jiang Linyuan mentioned the Tailuo Immortal Mine, he had already prepared for the worst. It

was perfectly normal for news to leak out now.

To say there was no news at all would have been strange to Shen Changqing.

After all—

if there were no news at all, it would mean that the two major immortal sects were aiming to monopolize the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

But in reality,

given the current situation of the two major sects, it would be extremely difficult for them to seize the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

Therefore,

the news would likely leak out.

Even if they couldn’t obtain it, the other party probably wouldn’t want the Heavenly Demon Holy Land to obtain it.

Yan Wuxiang said, “Ninety percent of the Holy Land’s resources are now concentrated, but the Tailuo Immortal Mine hasn’t been fully mined yet—”

“I will handle the Tailuo Immortal Mine. You will be responsible for the affairs of the Holy Land. We will leave the Tianxing Region in a month at most.

Now that news of the Tailuo Immortal Mine has spread, it won’t be long before the Tianxing Region will be under the attention of numerous forces. By then, it won’t be easy for the Holy Land to escape.”

Shen Changqing gave his instructions, and Yan Wuxiang withdrew.

…

At the same time,

Shen Changqing also left the Heavenly Demon Holy Land and headed for the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

Soon,

he stepped into the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

Now that the immortal mine is fully mined, the number of miners has increased significantly.

In addition,

to prevent unrest,

the Heavenly Demon Holy Land has stationed five Immortal Emperors here.

These five Immortal Emperors are the original Taiyin and Taiyang Demon Gods, and the three innate demon gods, Jidu, Rahu, and Tanlang.

The strength of the five innate demon gods is, at its weakest, comparable to that of a mid-level Immortal Emperor. Demon God Rāhu, for example, is even capable of competing with a late-level Immortal Emperor.

With such a force guarding the Tailuo Immortal Mine, naturally, it presents no significant challenge.

When Shen Changqing arrived, the five innate demon gods responsible for the defense were immediately aware of it and immediately came to pay their respects.

“Greetings, Holy Lord!”

“No need for formalities,”

Shen Changqing said, gazing deep into the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

Compared to before, the power within the Tailuo Immortal Mine has become even more pronounced.

“What is the current situation at the Tailuo Immortal Mine?”

Hearing this, he asked.

The Sun Demon God said respectfully, “Based on the current progress, barring any unexpected events, the Tailuo Immortal Mine will be completely mined in another ten thousand years.

Lately, strange noises have occasionally been heard from the depths of the Tailuo Immortal Mine, and some power has leaked out. However

, for now, these noises have been suppressed by the combined efforts of our subordinates, and no major disturbance has occurred. However, the other miners are afraid to approach that area.”

“Strange noises?”

Shen Changqing’s expression shifted slightly, and he stepped into the mine, heading deeper into the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

After a thousand feet, he began to perceive the power of the restrictions set up by the other innate demon gods.

Shen Changqing’s gaze easily penetrated the restrictions before him, and he saw a blood mist emanating from behind them, filled with an ominous and eerie aura.

Furthermore

, within,

Shen Changqing could hear a faint sound, like the slow beating of a living being’s heart.

The pulse was slow, but the eerie sound seemed to hold a certain magical power, drawing one involuntarily into its immersion.

“Sure enough… there’s a being sealed deep within the Tailuo Immortal Mine… or perhaps it’s dormant!”

Shen Changqing’s expression was solemn. He understood without hesitation that if such a strange being truly revived, it would be formidable.

This was due to the fact that years of mining within the Tailuo Immortal Mine had steadily weakened its power.

If the Tailuo Immortal Mine had remained unmined, and the strange being within its depths hadn’t weakened at all, it was hard to imagine how powerful it would be.

More importantly,

to date,

the Seven Profound Divine Tower hadn’t detected any aura from that being.

This meant that

the power of the being within was likely beyond that of a Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint.

This belief stemmed from Shen Changqing’s gradual mastery of the Seven Profound Divine Tower’s capabilities. The ability to collect the auras of these beings seemed to change with his own strength.

So far, the strongest being he had managed to collect was at the Semi-Saint level.

Those above the Semi-Saint level cannot absorb anything at all.

This is the case with Nine Leaves.

Currently, the strange creatures deep within the Tailuo Immortal Mine are also unable to absorb their auras, demonstrating just how unfathomable their power is.
