Chapter 3634 The Immortal Demon God Reappears

“Furthermore, if one infuses Heavenly Dao merit into a supreme treasure, it may transform into a merit treasure.

Using this treasure to kill cultivators will not incur karmic retribution.

Some cultivators struggle to condense a merit golden body, or they may not need one, and thus use Heavenly Dao merit to nurture a supreme treasure.”

Ji Yang paused slightly, looking at Shen Changqing with curiosity.

“Master, you asked about this today because you obtained Heavenly Dao merit?”

“Slaying the evil beasts and quelling the evil calamity did indeed yield some Heavenly Dao merit.”

Shen Changqing nodded, making no attempt to conceal anything.

Upon hearing this,

Ji Yang’s face immediately showed envy: “Heavenly Dao merit is rare. Although slaying evil beasts is meritorious to the Heavenly Dao, those who can truly obtain merit through it are still very few.

Master, to receive merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao on this trip is an immense opportunity!”

Heavenly Dao merit was something even Ji Yang in his past life would have coveted, let alone the current Ji Yang.

No one would complain about having too much merit.

After all, the more

Heavenly Dao merit one

accumulates, the better. The more Heavenly Dao merit one possesses, the easier it is to overcome the tribulations of the Heavenly Dao that one will face later.

In addition,

having Heavenly Dao merit brings many other benefits.

But as the saying goes,

Heavenly Dao merit is hard to find.

How easy is it to truly obtain Heavenly Dao merit?

In this life,

Ji Yang also wanted to collect some Heavenly Dao merit, and for this reason, he spared no effort in dealing with the evil beasts.

Unfortunately, even so, truly obtaining Heavenly Dao merit was still extremely difficult.

But there was no way around it.

That’s just how it is.

If Heavenly Dao merit were so easy to obtain, then there wouldn’t be so many cultivators in the world who only had a superficial understanding of it. To

put it bluntly

, gaining the favor of the Heavenly Dao is not such a simple matter.

Ji Yang had also heard about Shen Changqing’s single-handedly quelling the evil calamities in hundreds of immortal realms.

The terrifying killing intent emanating from the opponent alone was enough to demonstrate the sheer number of demonic beasts he had slain.

The number of these beasts was likely in the hundreds of millions.

Only with the blood of so many demonic beasts had the Heavenly Dao bestow merit.

This alone was something no ordinary cultivator could achieve.

…

After Ji Yang left, Shen Changqing looked at himself and summarized the gains from this battle.

He had annihilated hundreds of demonic beasts from the Immortal Realm and quelled various demonic calamities.

First,

there was the matter of Heavenly Dao merit.

Shen Changqing connected his divine sense with the Heavenly Dao merit in his sea of consciousness, and saw numerous merit powers converging, finally transforming into an extremely illusory golden wheel of merit.

Although this golden wheel of merit was faint, it was still filled with a magnificent and vast aura.

“With my current Heavenly Dao Merit, I’m still far from being able to fully condense the Heavenly Dao Golden Wheel!

To completely solidify the Golden Wheel of Merit, I’d need at least twice as much Heavenly Dao Merit, not even counting my current amount!”

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

In other words,

the Heavenly Dao Merit he gained from suppressing hundreds of calamities in the Immortal Realms and slaying countless demonic beasts was only one-third of the merit needed for a single Golden Wheel of Merit.

“Indeed!”

“Truly condensing nine Golden Wheels of Merit and ultimately cultivating the Golden Body of Merit isn’t an easy task.

Given this situation, even suppressing all the calamities in an entire Immortal Continent might not be enough to fully condense the Golden Body of Merit.

Perhaps only by personally slaying that great demon will I have the Heavenly Dao Merit needed to fully nurture the Golden Body of Merit!”

Thinking of this, Shen Changqing couldn’t help but think of Jiu Ye.

Jiu Ye had also slain that great demon, but no Heavenly Dao Merit had descended, which was quite intriguing.

Then…

Shen Changqing shook his head, putting the matter out of his mind and refocusing his attention on himself.

He was somewhat envious of the existence of the Golden Body of Merit.

After all, once the Golden Body of Merit was condensed, one would be immune to the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man, directly aiming for the Nine Tribulations Half-Saint realm.

If one could achieve sainthood through merit, that would be even more remarkable.

Not only that,

with such immense merit, other powerful figures would have to think twice before attacking him.

Otherwise, if their karma increased greatly and heavenly punishment descended, they would not escape death and annihilation.

It could be said that

if one had enough Heavenly Dao merit, it would be a trump card capable of taking down an enemy.

Then,

there was the essence.

Suppressing hundreds of calamities in the Immortal Realms and slaying countless evil beasts, the amount of essence in Shen Changqing’s hands had also greatly increased, directly breaking through the three hundred mark.

“Three hundred and twenty-five points of half-saint essence!”

Even though Shen Changqing was mentally prepared for this result, he still took a deep breath when he actually saw it.

Over three hundred semi-saint essences.

This meant he could summon three more immortal demon gods.

As for accumulating all the semi-saint essences to prepare for summoning demon gods comparable to saints later, Shen Changqing had absolutely no intention of doing so.

He was joking.

Summoning a saint-level demon god required at least one hundred saint essences.

Three hundred semi-saint essences seemed like a lot, but if converted entirely into saint essences, it would only amount to less than four points.

The essences gathered from killing ordinary beasts were too few; at this stage, dreaming of summoning saint-level demon gods was pure delusion.

Therefore,

rather than saving these essences, it was better to convert them into his own strength. Immediately,

the immortal demon gods were born at the semi-saint level with powerful bloodlines; they might have a chance to break through to the saint level in the future.

Immediately,

Shen Changqing focused his mind, looked at the Seven Profound Divine Tower, and the three hundred semi-saint essences vanished instantly, with three immortal demon gods being born.

…

Soon.

Three auras comparable to those of a half-saint suddenly appeared, shaking the entire Divine Heaven Domain.

“Half-saint aura!”

“That’s from the direction of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect—”

“More unfamiliar half-saints, and three at once! Where does the Xuan Tian Dao Sect get such a foundation?!”

All cultivators were shocked, their hearts filled with disbelief.

After all,

those were Longevity Half-Saints.

In this era, half-saint realm experts were rare for most cultivators.

Many forces, after billions of years of accumulation, struggled to produce even one half-saint.

But now,

the Xuan Tian Dao Sect had Duan Changsheng in front, and now three more unfamiliar Longevity Half-Saints had appeared out of nowhere.

How could such a foundation not be terrifying?   It was

only because the Xuan Tian Dao Sect was currently the overlord of the Divine Heaven Domain, with no force capable of confronting it,   that they were now in a state of constant anxiety.   ”Three Immortal Demon Gods!”   Within the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, Duan Changsheng immediately sensed the source of this aura, his expression turning grim.   In that instant,   a strong sense of threat arose within him.   Before this, Shen Changqing only had one Immortal Demon God under his command, the rest being acquired and innate demon gods, which Duan Changsheng naturally disregarded.   But now it was different.   The appearance of three Immortal Demon Gods meant he was no longer the only one.   If he didn’t perform well in the future, he would soon fade into obscurity.   This outcome   was naturally unacceptable to Duan Changsheng.   ”Unless something unexpected happens, the number of Immortal Demon Gods under the Sect Master’s command will only increase. As the first Immortal Demon God, I absolutely cannot fall behind the others!   It’s just a pity that after reaching the Half-Saint realm, it takes billions of years to undergo the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, which cannot be achieved overnight.   Otherwise, I might have been able to attempt to undergo the first Five Decays of Heaven and Man to reach the Second Tribulation Half-Saint level!”   Duan Changsheng’s eyes were subtle.   For other semi-saints, breaking through to the semi-saint realm already involves undergoing one of the Five Signs of Decay.   However, this is different for the Eternal Demon God.   Born as a semi-saint, this demon god doesn’t need to undergo the so-called Five Signs of Decay to break through.   Therefore,   compared to other semi-saints, the Eternal Demon God inherently avoids one of the Five Signs of Decay.   This is an advantage for most cultivators.   After all, the tribulations from Immortal Emperor to Semi-Saint are enough to cause over 90% of Immortal Emperors to fall at the last hurdle; those who truly overcome numerous tribulations and ultimately reach the semi-saint realm are extremely rare.   The Eternal Demon God can directly enter the semi-saint realm without undergoing the Five Signs of Decay, which is something unattainable for other cultivators.   However,   although he cannot break through to the second tribulation semi-saint realm, it doesn’t mean he can’t improve his strength in other ways.   Furthermore,   the Xuan Tian Dao Sect currently controls several immortal realms, and with the chaotic situation in the upper realm, Duan Changsheng believes he also has an opportunity to make contributions.   As long as one seizes this opportunity, one will naturally not be marginalized.   Shen Changqing, of course, was unaware of Duan Changsheng’s thoughts.   He was now looking at the three Immortal Demon Gods before him.   All three appeared to be young men. One had long, blood-red hair and dark red eyes that made one hesitant to meet his gaze.   Another had an eerie appearance, with feminine features, and every smile and frown seemed capable of stirring the most primal desires.   The last one had a sinister expression, and a chilling aura emanated from him, clearly not someone to be trifled with.   Blood River!   Seven Emotions!   Void Demon!   These were the names of these three Immortal Demon Gods.   These names were not bestowed by Shen Changqing, but rather chosen by themselves.   Now, as these three Immortal Demon Gods stood before Shen Changqing, their expressions were respectful, daring not to show any arrogance or disrespect.   ”Before you arrived, the Xuantian Dao Sect already had an Immortal Demon God. From now on, you will be elders of the Xuantian Dao Sect. You may choose to establish your own immortal abodes on the main peak or within the sect, except for the Nine Peaks.   You are free to act as you see fit, but you must obey sect decrees!”   Shen Changqing said calmly, looking at the Immortal Demon Gods.   Theoretically, the demon gods born from the Seven Profound Divine Tower are absolutely loyal to him, so he only briefly mentioned some things, without being too harsh.   Hearing this,   the three Immortal Demon Gods respectfully agreed.
