Terran Guardian - Chapter 3647

Chapter 3625 Thirty Innate Demon Gods

Top-grade immortal stones!

Although high-grade immortal mines have a chance of producing them

, that probability is extremely low.

Even if hundreds of millions, or even billions, of high-grade immortal stones are mined, it’s questionable whether even one top-grade immortal stone will emerge.

Only top-grade immortal mines can truly produce top-grade immortal stones.

But—

top-grade immortal mines are rare.

These kinds of immortal mines are all controlled by other powerful forces.

With the current resources of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, it would be difficult to acquire a top-grade immortal mine.

To put it bluntly,

even if the Xuan Tian Dao Sect did possess a top-grade immortal mine, they wouldn’t be able to keep it.

Forcibly mining it would only backfire.

After all, the benefits behind a top-grade immortal mine are too great, so great that even many half-saints or even saints might not be able to sit still.

Once such an immortal mine appears, how can one have the right to occupy it without sufficient strength?

…

The next day.

Fu Tian came to pay his respects.

“Greetings, Your Excellency!”

“I asked you to collect immortal resources, how is it going?”

Shen Changqing asked.

Fu Tian took out a storage ring and respectfully handed it to Shen Changqing.

“As instructed by His Excellency, the All-Heavens Merchant Guild has been searching for Immortal Sources for the past 30,000 years. They have now found 370 low-grade Immortal Sources and 23 mid-grade Immortal Sources.

However, there is currently no news regarding high-grade Immortal Sources.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing’s divine sense fell upon the storage ring before him. All

300-plus Immortal Sources were within his perception.

“You have done well!”

Shen Changqing nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face.

370 low-grade Immortal Sources!

23 mid-grade Immortal Sources!

To be honest, this result was much better than he had expected.

Originally, Shen Changqing thought that the All-Heavens Merchant Guild would be doing well if they could find ten or so mid-grade Immortal Sources in 30,000 years.

But now it seemed

he had underestimated the All-Heavens Merchant Guild’s capabilities.

This was no wonder he had invested so many resources into the All-Heavens Merchant Guild.

In total

, Shen Changqing had invested hundreds of millions of high-grade Immortal Stones into the All-Heavens Merchant Guild.

Its main purpose is to one day enable the All-Heavens Merchant Guild to stand on its own and collect the numerous resources needed for its cultivation.   Now is the time for the All-Heavens Merchant Guild to play its role.   Compared to mid-grade immortal sources, low-grade immortal sources are far more numerous, but Shen Changqing isn’t surprised.

After   all, low-grade immortal veins are not exactly ubiquitous in the Upper Realm, but they are certainly plentiful. Such immortal veins don’t have much value.   Although low-grade immortal veins can nurture immortal mines of the same grade,   theoretically,   as long as the immortal vein doesn’t dry up, it can continuously nurture immortal mines and produce low-grade immortal stones.   However, the problem is   that the nurturing time for immortal mines is extremely long.   If you really calculate it, whether it can produce even one low-grade immortal stone a year is questionable.   Therefore, immortal sources of this level are naturally not rare.   To put it bluntly   , in the current Divine Heaven Domain alone, there are no fewer than a thousand such low-grade immortal veins, and the number of low-grade immortal mines they nurture is even greater.   This is precisely why a mid-level immortal domain can accommodate numerous forces.   Without sufficient immortal veins and immortal mines, it would be difficult to guarantee the survival of so many forces.   Then,   Shen Changqing asked, “How many immortal stones were used to collect all the immortal sources?”   ”Low-grade immortal sources aren’t very valuable; one immortal source is roughly equivalent to one high-grade immortal stone. Mid-grade immortal sources are slightly more valuable, worth about ten thousand high-grade immortal stones, with a slight premium, but not too much.   All the immortal sources combined are worth approximately two hundred and fifty thousand high-grade immortal stones!”   Fu Tian replied without hesitation.   Shen Changqing nodded, then said, “Continue collecting other immortal sources, the higher the grade, the better. Also…”   He paused slightly, then his expression became serious.   ”Keep an eye out for any news of top-grade immortal veins or immortal mines.”   ”Top-grade immortal veins—”   Fu Tian’s expression changed slightly.   How could he not know what such immortal veins meant?   Whether it’s a celestial vein or a celestial mine, once it reaches this level, its value is immeasurable.   Don’t be fooled by the considerable resources the Heavenly Merchant Guild has accumulated; they are still not qualified to dabble in treasures of this caliber.   Shen Changqing said, “The top-grade celestial mines in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm are all owned, and we cannot interfere too much.   However, outside the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, in the boundless chaos, there might be undiscovered celestial veins.   Although the probability is low, they do exist.   If you can find such a celestial vein, please inform me!”   From beginning to end,   Shen Changqing did not place his hopes for top-grade celestial mines on the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.   Before he broke through to the Half-Saint level, or even possessed strength comparable to a Saint, the possibility of vying for top-grade celestial mines was not high.   But the chaotic void outside the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm was a different story.   Chaos was vast.   Strictly speaking, the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm was merely a continent within chaos.   However, this continent boasts a unique cultivation environment, rich in immortal energy, attracting cultivators from all directions to establish sects and lay their foundations here.   Therefore,   the formation of immortal veins and even immortal mines has never been an advantage unique to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.   In the vast chaos, some ancient stars, and even some desolate worlds, may give rise to corresponding immortal veins and give birth to immortal mines of the same rank.   But there is a problem: the chaos is too vast, and finding the location of these immortal veins is not an easy task.   Furthermore,   there is the danger involved.

Countless powerful beings lurk within the chaos, and countless ferocious beasts roam and wreak havoc. Even for Immortal Emperors, or even Longevity Half-Saints, setting foot in the various parts of the chaos is no easy feat.

If one is unlucky and encounters danger, there is always a possibility of death.

However, regardless of the circumstances, there is always a sliver of hope.

To put it simply, finding a top-grade immortal mine would be a sure-fire way to make money.

Moreover—

top-grade immortal mines

are often accompanied by top-grade immortal veins.

The benefits of possessing a top-grade immortal vein are unimaginable.

“Chaos… I will have the All-Heavens Merchant Guild keep a close eye on the movements of Chaos, but the All-Heavens Merchant Guild is ultimately lacking in available cultivators.

I believe that if we could utilize some of the power of the Xingdao Alliance, the chances of finding an immortal vein would be much greater!”

Fu Tian nodded first, and then offered his suggestion.

Shen Changqing nodded: “I will also arrange for the Xingdao Alliance’s demon god actions regarding this matter. If there’s nothing else, you may return first.”

“Your subordinate takes his leave!”

Fu Tian bowed and then turned to leave.

After Fu Tian left, Shen Changqing’s divine sense landed on the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

A long time had passed.

The semi-saint essence he had accumulated was now a full seventy points.

Before going to the heavens, Shen Changqing only had fifty points of semi-saint essence.

The extra twenty points were obtained from quelling the calamity and attacking the Tianhong Universe.

Subsequently,

Shen Changqing’s divine sense landed on the fifth floor of the Seven Profound Divine Tower, directly using thirty points of semi-saint essence to create thirty innate demon gods.

The reason he didn’t create acquired demon gods was because, for him, the acquired demon gods were no longer of much use.

Although ,

acquired demon gods possess acquired bloodlines, breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm was easy, and given enough time, breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm wouldn’t be a problem either.

However, in Shen Changqing’s view, the time it takes for an acquired demon god to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm is far too long.

In the past eight million years, not a single acquired demon god has reached the Immortal Emperor realm, demonstrating that even with acquired bloodlines, truly reaching the Immortal Emperor realm is not an easy feat.

In contrast,

innate demon gods are born as Immortal Emperors.

This starting point is something acquired demon gods cannot match.

Even if the essence of a single innate demon god is enough to give birth to a million acquired demon gods, it’s still the same.

No matter how many ants there are, they are still just ants.

Shen Changqing initially nurtured a large number of acquired demon gods because giving birth to innate demon gods was difficult, and also because the Dao Alliance needed a sufficient number of acquired demon gods to act as spies.

But now that the number of acquired demon gods is sufficient, Shen Changqing naturally doesn’t want to waste his essence on this anymore.

In comparison ,

the current thirty million acquired demon gods, in Shen Changqing’s view, are completely incomparable to thirty innate demon gods.

Perhaps one day in the future, among the thirty million acquired demon gods, some will be fortunate enough to obtain an opportunity and gradually ascend to the Immortal Emperor realm or even higher.

However, acquired bloodlines are ultimately incomparable to innate bloodlines.

Moreover, the difference in starting point also means that acquired demon gods are more likely to perish.

When essence is abundant, innate demon gods should be the first choice.

Of course,

if essence were truly abundant, let alone innate demon gods, Shen Changqing would prefer to start with longevity demon gods.

Unfortunately, a single longevity demon god requires hundreds of semi-saint essences.

Even with Shen Changqing’s current strength, gathering enough essence to create a longevity demon god is not an easy task.

…

Not long after,

thirty innate demon gods had been born.

With a thought, Shen Changqing released all thirty innate demon gods.

In that instant,

the powerful aura of these innate demon gods erupted, instantly shaking the entire Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

Every cultivator from the sect who sensed this aura was horrified.

“The aura of an Immortal Emperor!”

“When did our sect suddenly have so many unfamiliar Immortal Emperors?”

Inside the sect’s forbidden area, Yang Daoxu looked shocked, his eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty as he gazed towards the main peak.

But before he could think further, the diverse array of Immortal Emperor auras vanished completely.

This aura arrived and disappeared so quickly that it almost seemed like an illusion.

Meanwhile, in another immortal abode,

Duan Changsheng opened his eyes, looking towards the direction of the Nourishing Heart Residence, a slight change in his usually calm expression.

“Innate Demon Gods…it seems another batch of Innate Demon Gods has been born!”

he muttered to himself, then dismissed the matter and closed his eyes to cultivate again. (End of Chapter)
