Chapter 3896 Taihua Jade Purity Pill

“Boom!”

The sky trembled, and blood rain poured down.

Celestial light flickered above the Cangwu Mountains, keeping the blood rain at bay.

“Another powerful figure has fallen!”

Inside his immortal abode, Lu Changge watched the falling blood rain, his expression grave.

Since the battle in Nanyuan Daozhou broke out, powerful figures had fallen frequently, and such extraordinary phenomena made his heart tremble.

After all,

any blood rain that could cover Dongming Immortal Prefecture was enough to indicate that those who had fallen were supreme experts.

Such beings were ones

he had never even been qualified to face directly before.

But now,

under this great calamity,

even such experts were falling one after another.

Since Lu Changge attained the rank of Half-Saint, he had lived for countless years and experienced many great calamities, but this was the first time he had seen so many powerful figures fall.

Although this battle had only erupted in Nanyuan Daozhou, if it were allowed to continue, other immortal prefectures would likely also be affected.

Although this matter wasn’t directly related to him, it was difficult to truly remain uninvolved in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Right now, the best way

to avoid being implicated

was to seek refuge with a sufficiently powerful force.

“The Seven Profound Dao Sect!”

This thought popped into Lu Changge’s mind, and he looked towards Cangyun Peak, taking a deep breath.

The Seven Profound Dao Sect was powerful enough!

At least in the current Star Luo Immortal Domain, they were considered top-tier.

The news of their annihilation of the Tianlan Sword Pavilion had already spread like wildfire.

Currently, rumors circulated that the Seven Profound Dao Lord was a top-tier Half-Saint who had reached the Nine Tribulations Realm.

Lu Changge didn’t really doubt this rumor.

After all,

their instant kill of the Thousand Tribulations Venerable Qin Changnian was enough to demonstrate their unfathomable strength.

It wasn’t impossible for them to be a Nine Tribulations Half-Saint.

Having such a force as a backer would be much safer.

However—

Lu Changge also hesitated.

After all, he had been a rogue cultivator for many years and naturally didn’t want to get entangled in karma with unnecessary forces.

Otherwise, given his status as an eighth-tier Grandmaster of Alchemy, even some top-tier forces would be willing to extend an olive branch.

His current stay at the Seven Profound Dao Sect is also due to a previous promise.

After spending some time together, Lu Changge found the Seven Profound Dao Sect to be quite good.

Its strength was considerable!

More importantly, the factional infighting here wasn’t as intense as he had anticipated.

Lu Changge understood the reason for this.

Other forces had developed over many years, with numerous and complex factions, naturally leading to much open and covert struggle.

The Seven Profound Dao Sect was different.

The first ancestor who founded the sect was still alive and held the position of sect leader, capable of suppressing everything. Even if there were some conflicts among the cultivators of the other peaks, no one dared to be too presumptuous.

Furthermore,

the Seven Profound Dao Sect was quite responsive to his requests; whatever resources he needed for alchemy, they would do their best to gather them if

he asked .

How could Lu Changge not be satisfied?

“Let’s discuss this later!”

He suppressed the thoughts in his mind and shook his head slightly.

A million years was still a long time; there was no need to rush anything.

Just then,

Lu Changge looked towards the outside of the Immortal Abode. With a thought, he saw the restrictions on the Immortal Abode dissipate, and a cultivator walked in from outside.

“Peak Master Chu, what brings you here today?”

“Senior Lu, I have come today hoping to request your assistance in refining a batch of pills—”

Chu Junhe smiled slightly, showing Lu Changge ample respect.

After all, one cannot be presumptuous in front of an ancient half-saint.

Whether it’s a rogue cultivator or an elder of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, ultimately, it’s about cultivation strength.

Moreover,

Lu Changge is no ordinary half-saint, but an eighth-order Grandmaster of Alchemy. Therefore, Chu Junhe must give him even more face.

Speaking of which,

this wasn’t the first time Chu Junhe had asked Lu Changge to refine pills.

The immortal pills refined by a Grandmaster of Alchemy of this caliber are extremely fine and greatly beneficial to one’s cultivation.

Lu Changge nodded slightly: “This matter is simple. May I ask what kind of pill Peak Master Chu intends to refine?”

“Taihua Jade Purity Pill!”

Chu Junhe said in a deep voice.

Taihua Jade Purity Pill!

Upon hearing this name, Lu Changge’s expression remained unchanged.

At this moment,

Chu Junhe took out a storage ring and used his immortal power to hold it up in front of Lu Changge.

“Inside are the materials needed for three portions of Taihua Jade Purity Pill. This junior has no high demands; I only hope that when the pills are completed, Senior can spare me five Taihua Jade Purity Pills!”

“No problem. Peak Master Chu can return first. I will send you a message after I finish refining the pills.”

Lu Changge scanned the storage ring with his divine sense and saw everything inside, smiling calmly.

Chu Junhe bowed in thanks and then took his leave.

“Taihua Jade Purity Pill!”

Lu Changge smiled faintly.

Refining such a top-tier Immortal Emperor pill would be extremely difficult for other cultivators.

However, for him, refining such elixirs was actually not difficult at all.

Three sets of materials!

He was guaranteed at least two successful batches.

Even if all three batches succeeded, Lu Changge was confident.

As Chu Junhe had said, the other party only needed five pills to be completed, implying that the extra pill materials would be considered payment for this pill refining.   Lu Changge was naturally satisfied

with this .   It should be known   that any elixir material, once one reaches the Immortal Emperor level, is difficult to collect.   Even at Lu Changge’s level, he couldn’t ignore such elixirs.   …

At this moment, inside

the main hall , countless

immortal steles stood.

Shen Changqing stood before a Longevity Immortal Stele, his aura shifting and uncertain, causing the void to tremble slightly, and the power of the Great Dao’s rules flickering within him.

After an unknown period,

Shen Changqing suddenly moved.

A terrifying power of rules erupted forth, sweeping across the void, causing the numerous Longevity Immortal Steles to vibrate and hum.

The next instant,

Shen Changqing opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within.

Then,

the strange phenomenon subsided.

He extended his right hand, and in his palm, the power of the Great Dao condensed. Upon close observation, one could see the birth and death of heaven and earth, the collapse and reassembly of stars, and the evolution of supreme sword intent from all kinds of destructive power.

If Sword Master Tinglan were here, he would recognize this supreme sword intent as the Heavenly Inclined Sword Intent.

“After ten thousand years, to comprehend this Heavenly Incline Sword Dao is not bad.

If I were to follow the Great Dao of the Sword, with the assistance of the Mountain Sword Dao and the Heavenly Incline Sword Dao, among other sword intents, my subsequent breakthrough to the Half-Saint realm should be smooth!”

Shen Changqing’s expression was calm, showing no excessive joy at his comprehension of the Heavenly Incline Sword Dao.

Undeniably,

the Heavenly Incline Sword Dao is indeed powerful.

However—

the path of the predecessors is ultimately one created by them.

Although everyone’s comprehension of the Heavenly Incline Sword Dao differs, its essence remains the path of their predecessors.

Since it is the path of the predecessors, it is difficult to perfectly resonate with oneself.

If the upper limit of this Heavenly Incline Sword Dao is high enough, it might not be noticeable at the Half-Saint realm, but as cultivation gradually increases, reaching the Saint or even Great Saint realm, the problem will become apparent.

Shen Changqing’s current path, the True Martial Dao, is naturally to avoid such problems.

The Heavenly Incline Sword Dao is good,

but he has no intention of following it.

To put it bluntly…

If Shen Changqing truly wanted to follow the path of his predecessors, he wouldn’t need to follow the Heavenly Sword Path at all; he only needed to follow the path of the Primordial Immortal Body.

The path left behind by such a powerful figure was far superior to the Heavenly Sword Path.

Afterward,

Shen Changqing continued to comprehend other paths to immortality. For

the next period,

he didn’t leave the main hall even for a moment.

In the first two hundred thousand years, Shen Changqing studied the other two Saint-level Immortal Longevity Steles, comprehending the power of the path contained within and integrating it into his True Martial Path.

Next,

he began to study the other Semi-Saint Immortal Steles.

Compared to the Saint’s path,

the ordinary Semi-Saint paths, though profound, were much easier for Shen Changqing with his current level of understanding and foundation.

Comprehending other Saint Immortal Steles would have taken him over ten thousand years.

But comprehending the other Semi-Saint Immortal Steles was different. It would only

take a few thousand years at the shortest, and no more than twenty thousand years at the longest.

In less than a million years, Shen Changqing had comprehended all the Immortal Longevity Steles.

After finishing his comprehension of the last Immortal Longevity Stele, he opened his eyes, glanced at the numerous Immortal Longevity Steles in the void, and then turned to leave.

This time,

he had comprehensiond all the major paths of over a hundred stelae that had reached the realm of immortality.

Of course ,

comprehension is one

thing, but to say he had completely grasped them, or even reached the level of his predecessors, was absolutely impossible.

His so-called comprehension was at most at an entry-level.

After all,

every Immortal Longevity Path was something a powerful being who had reached the realm of immortality had comprehended over their entire life. He couldn’t possibly

complete the path that others needed hundreds of millions of years to traverse in just a few thousand, or even ten or twenty thousand years.

Even with exceptional talent, it was impossible.

Shen Changqing was confident in his own comprehension, but he also knew he absolutely couldn’t reach that level.

Now

, with a preliminary understanding of all the major paths of the one hundred and twenty-three Immortal Longevity Steles, Shen Changqing saw no need to stay.

He needed time to digest everything step by step, integrating all the Great Daos into his own True Martial Dao. Only after reaching that point would he enter the main hall to continue his further comprehension.

“This hall will henceforth be named the Hall of Longevity!”

Shen Changqing looked at the ancient immortal hall before him, and with a thought, he saw three large characters added to the plaque:

Hall of Longevity!

The characters for “Longevity”

were taken from the Longevity Immortal Stele.

This immortal hall would become the foundation of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Then,

Shen Changqing looked up at the outer sky, where blood rain surged again. With a thought, the Demon God’s Dao Mirror appeared.

A moment later

, after reading all the information from the Demon God’s Dao Mirror, Shen Changqing’s expression became slightly grave.

“A million years have passed, and the situation has become increasingly complex!”

This battle

had lasted longer than he had imagined.

Moreover,

the news from the Demon God’s Dao Mirror indicated that more and more forces were involved. Now, the calamity was no longer just affecting the Southern Yuan Dao Prefecture. (End of this chapter)
