Chapter 3704 The Opportunity to Kill Shen Changqing

One month later.

The Buddha’s illusory image dissipated.

But Shen Changqing still stood motionless on the mountain peak, his body radiating Daoist energy, manifesting countless mysteries. He now seemed to have merged with the entire Great Sage’s Tomb.

If someone were standing here, they would notice a faint golden light emanating from Shen Changqing’s body, making him appear quite extraordinary.

At this moment,

the entire Great Sage’s Tomb was completely visible to Shen Changqing.

He saw the whereabouts of the other half-saints, and also the whereabouts of other cultivators.

Then,

beneath the Longevity Immortal Mine.

The instant Shen Changqing’s divine sense entered it, a terrifying pressure suddenly erupted, causing his sea of consciousness to tremble violently.

In an instant,

Shen Changqing’s probing divine sense was shattered.

Clearly,

the Great Sage’s corpse was not to be desecrated.

Even if he had perished and been buried here, it was not something other cultivators could probing into.

Shen Changqing abandoned his plan to examine the Great Sage’s corpse and instead merged his spirit with heaven and earth to continue comprehending the Great Sage’s Dao power.

Meanwhile,

the cultivators dispatched by the six major powers also arrived.

Each power had 100,000 Ancient Immortals,

totaling 600,000.

When these cultivators stepped into the Great Sage’s tomb and entered the mountain range, the power of the rules descended, its majestic might like a blazing sun, inspiring awe.

Other half-saints also showed expressions of fear.

“Every time I see the Great Sage’s rules, I feel their terrifying power!”

A half-saint from a sect took a deep breath, but still didn’t step into the mountain range.

The reason was simple:

the mountain range contained the pressure of the rules.

Even a half-saint would fall to the Ancient Immortal level.

Such actions carried many dangers.

Once their strength and realm were suppressed and they could barely unleash even a fraction of their power, if other cultivators plotted against them, it would be a huge problem.

Enough said.

Six hundred thousand ancient immortals swarmed forward, regardless of whether you were a half-saint or not, you would all die.

If you truly possessed the strength of a half-saint, six hundred thousand ancient immortals could wipe you out with

a wave of their hand. However, suppressed by the rules of the Great Saint, let alone six hundred thousand ancient immortals, even six hundred or sixty ancient immortals would be enough to kill a half-saint suppressed by the rules.

The premise is that

these ancient immortals must at least be at the peak level of ancient immortals.

A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Half-saints who are seeking immortality would not put themselves in danger.

However—

on the side of the Poison King Holy Land, Lian Qianchou’s eyes turned slightly cold as he looked at the summit of one of the immortal mountains, a flash of killing intent appearing on his face.

Blood feud of the Holy Land!

Whether it was the fall of the Medicine King Venerable or the last battle for the Longevity Immortal Mine, Shen Changqing had caused the Poison King Holy Land considerable losses.

Especially the former, the fall of a nine-tribulation half-saint was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Holy Land.

Under normal circumstances, Lian Qianchou would not dare to make a move against Shen Changqing.

It wasn’t that he feared a Celestial Emperor, but rather that he was wary of the supreme treasure in the other’s possession.

Besides,

the Origin Divine Weapon in Shen Changqing’s hands also greatly tempted Lian Qianchou.

Now that the other had entered the Longevity Immortal Mine to comprehend the Great Dao, his strength was bound to be suppressed—a rare opportunity.

As this thought crossed Lian Qianchou’s mind, he looked at the other Half-Saints, and the Half-Saints from various sects also cast their gazes, understanding each other’s intentions.

“What do you all intend to do!”

The Nine Peaks Venerable sensed something amiss, took a step forward, and spoke angrily.

As he spoke,

the aura of a Six Tribulation Half-Saint erupted, causing the void of the secret realm to tremble, serving as a veiled warning.

“Fellow Daoist Nine Peaks, this matter is a grudge between us and this man surnamed Shen, and has nothing to do with your Xuanji Immortal Sect. We hope you will not interfere!” From

the Void Sword Sect’s side, Li Xuanshuang also stepped forward, directly blocking the Nine Peaks Venerable’s path. Her bright eyes were cold, and there was a hint of killing intent in her gaze as she looked at the latter.

In the battle for the share of the Longevity Immortal Mine, she suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Venerable Jiuyue, sustaining severe injuries and nearly perishing.

It was only through the Void Sword Sect’s use of numerous rare and precious materials that she recovered completely.

Now,

Li Xuanshuang naturally wanted to settle this score.

However, she knew that defeating Venerable Jiuyue was virtually impossible.

But she was certain that this time, the one who intervened was not herself. Sure

enough

, the other four semi-saints from the various forces also blocked Venerable Jiuyue’s path.

The five semi-saints surrounded her, and the aura of Daoist power emanating from them caused her face to darken instantly.

“Very well, very well! Our six forces have agreed to jointly mine the Longevity Immortal Mine. Now, it seems you are going to break your promise?

Such shameless actions are tantamount to starting a full-scale war with my Xuanji Immortal Sect!!”

Venerable Jiuyue’s anger was almost palpable as he uttered his last words.

Lian Qianchou remained calm: “Fellow Daoist Jiuyue, you are mistaken. It is true that our six forces are jointly mining the Longevity Immortal Mine, but that man surnamed Shen is not from your Xuanji Immortal Sect.

This man killed our Poison King Holy Land’s ancestor, a blood feud that cannot be extinguished.

As a Half-Saint of the Poison King Holy Land, how can I sit idly by!”

“That’s right, Fellow Daoist Jiuyue, we hope you won’t make things difficult for us, lest it ruin our harmony!”

The other Half-Saints also spoke in a sinister tone, their threats obvious.

Upon hearing this,

Venerable Jiuyue’s expression changed drastically.

One against six!

He naturally knew he absolutely could not do it.

After all, even Li Xuanshuang alone was troublesome for him, let alone the other five Half-Saints.

The strength of these Half-Saints might not be stronger than Li Xuanshuang, but they were definitely not to be underestimated.

If it were a one-on-one fight, Venerable Jiuyue was not afraid, but if it were one against six, there was absolutely no chance of victory.

At the same time.

Just as the five half-saints intervened to stop Venerable Jiuyue, numerous ancient immortals from the five major forces seemed to have received the message as well, heading towards the immortal mountain almost simultaneously.

On the Xuanji Immortal Sect’s side, the 100,000 ancient immortals were stunned by this sudden turn of events, unable to react.

Venerable Jiuyue roared, “All disciples of the Xuanji Immortal Sect, listen to my command! Protect Fellow Daoist Shen and ensure his escape from the Longevity Immortal Mine!!”

“Disciples obey!!”

The 100,000 ancient immortal cultivators all accepted the order.

As disciples of the Xuanji Immortal Sect, they were naturally familiar with the name Shen Changqing.

Therefore, upon hearing Venerable Jiuyue’s command, these cultivators did not hesitate and headed directly towards the immortal mountain.

Unfortunately,

the 100,000 ancient immortals of the Xuanji Immortal Sect were ultimately too few in number.

The other forces had 500,000 ancient immortals, all of considerable strength.

Thus,

the 100,000 ancient immortals of the Xuanji Immortal Sect naturally could not achieve much.

Just then…

The ancient immortal of the Void Sword Sect had already stepped onto the mountain peak. Looking at the figure comprehending the Dao atop the peak, a sharp glint and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Indeed!

Excitement!

Shen Changqing’s name had already shaken the entire Chaotic Void Sea since the battle at the Longevity Immortal Mine.

No—

to be precise, he was already renowned throughout the Chaotic Void Sea during the battle for the Chaotic Spirit Embryo.

With the body of an Immortal Emperor, he had slain a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.

The reason he was able to become famous in the Chaotic Void Sea was because he had climbed over the corpses of numerous Half-Saints.

Such a powerful figure was someone he had always looked up to.

If he could kill him, the sect would surely reward him handsomely, and he himself would become famous throughout the Chaotic Void Sea.

In an instant, the ancient immortal’s divine thought stirred, and a celestial sword was unleashed, dazzlingly slicing through the void, aiming directly for Shen Changqing’s head and vital point.

Shen Changqing, from beginning to end, made no move.

As the longsword was about to strike, the ancient immortal of the Void Sword Sect showed a look of joy.

But the next moment,

a crisp sound like metal clashing rang out, and the tip of the immortal sword pierced Shen Changqing’s brow, as if it had struck an ancient divine stone, unable to budge it even an inch.

Not only that,

the immortal sword itself was rebounded by the force of the attack and shattered from within.

“Impossible—!!!”

The ancient immortal’s face was filled with horror. He never expected that his full-force attack would not even pierce the opponent’s skin.

No!

It should be said that it did not even leave a mark.

Just then,

the attacks of the other ancient immortals also arrived.

In an instant,

immortal swords and divine blades pierced the air, flames and lightning raged, and countless divine powers poured down on Shen Changqing like a storm.

This terrifying power instantly engulfed Shen Changqing completely.

The powerful shockwave spread out, and the cultivators from all sides stared intently at the mountain peak, seemingly trying to discern some clues.

A moment later,

the fluctuations subsided.

The flames and lightning vanished.

Shen Changqing still stood atop the mountain, without a single mark on his body.

This scene

left all the cultivators utterly astonished.

At the same time,

the half-saints from the five forces, upon seeing this, were all stunned. Then, as if realizing something, their expressions changed drastically.

“Damn it!”

“Physical strength… we forgot about it!!”

Every cultivator, more or less, tempers their physical body.

Even a Celestial Emperor, though not primarily focused on physical cultivation, would have a physical body that, through daily refinement with immortal energy, comparable to an ancient immortal artifact.

This is the lower limit,

not the upper limit.

Some experts who have reached the peak of the Celestial Emperor realm can even refine their physical bodies to the level of an Emperor-level immortal artifact.

As for half-saints, it goes without saying.

Any half-saint possesses physical strength at least equivalent to an Emperor-level immortal artifact.

Just like the former, this is the lower limit, not the upper limit.

The suppression of power by the rules of the Longevity Immortal Mine can only suppress a cultivator’s strength, but it cannot weaken their physical strength.

Simply put,

this kind of rule power can suppress the power a cultivator unleashes, but it cannot weaken a cultivator’s physical defense out of thin air; the latter is true power returning to oneself.

In other words,

although Shen Changqing’s strength is suppressed by the Great Sage’s rules, allowing him to only unleash the power of an Ancient Immortal, his physical strength remains. Such physical defense is far beyond what an Ancient Immortal can threaten.   The other half-saints naturally understood

this .   However, in their focus on killing Shen Changqing, they had temporarily forgotten this.   Only now   did they remember .
