Chapter 3926 Reunion with Venerable Jinque

The Divine Sun Domain.

The situation is delicate at this moment.

With the invasion of the Dark Cult, the Divine Sun Domain, as the First Immortal Domain, naturally bears the brunt.

Although the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands possess formidable resources, the Dark Cult’s advance is equally aggressive.

A single Dark Cult, in terms of resources, cannot compare to the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands.

However, the problem lies in the fact that

this time, the Dark Cult is not composed of just one or two.

The Dark Lord has lived for countless years, and his followers are numerous. Over countless years of evolution and development, the Dark Cult has reached an astonishing scale.

Top Dark Cults like the Longevity Cult and the Immortal Cult possess considerable strength.

Now,

with numerous Dark Cults joining forces,

the impact of this turmoil is not to be underestimated.

Most of the Immortal Domain in the Divine Wind Prefecture has fallen.

The Dark Turmoil has swept across all sides.

Within the Divine Sun Domain, much of its territory has also descended into chaos, and the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands have all suffered significant losses.

Currently,

within the Taiyi Holy Land,

in a grand hall of an Immortal Mansion…

Venerable Jinque sat cross-legged, beneath him auspicious clouds of the Great Dao gathered, and three thousand Daoist principles manifested as radiant light, within which seemed to emanate the chaos of creation and destruction.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Venerable Jinque slowly opened his eyes, a divine light flickering within them. ”   Finally recovered.

Those beasts of the Dark Cult are indeed troublesome!” A   million years ago, he fought

a top-tier half-saint of the Dark Cult, ultimately killing him, but suffering backlash and injury himself. Only now, after a million years of recuperation,   has Venerable Jinque fully recovered.   At his level, ordinary injuries are insignificant, healing instantly, hardly qualifying as serious injuries.   Conversely,   once seriously injured , the time and cultivation resources required   for recovery   are immeasurable.   The current million-year recovery has required the Venerable Jinque to utilize much of his resources.   Then,   with a slight thought,   a jade talisman appeared before him.   ”Shen Changqing!”   Upon seeing this jade talisman, Venerable Jinque’s calm expression instantly changed.   Since handing over his communication jade talisman to the other party, the corresponding communication jade talisman had remained silent.   Unexpectedly,   after years of dormancy, the communication jade talisman   now showed signs of activity.   The image he had witnessed flashed through Venerable Jinque’s mind. A Celestial   Emperor, defying a Half-Saint, causing the deaths of many top Half-Saints—in countless ages, he had never heard of any Celestial Emperor capable of such a feat.   Not to mention , even a   Supreme Being couldn’t capture him.   How could such a monstrous talent not inspire awe?   Venerable Jinque had helped Shen Changqing to forge a good relationship, hoping it might prove useful in the future.   Unexpectedly, the other party had sent a message.   As Venerable Jinque’s divine sense entered the communication jade talisman, his expression shifted slightly.   ”The Longevity Immortal Mine!”   ”This opportunity is quite significant—”   Venerable Jinque took a deep breath, a smile appearing on his face.   He wouldn’t have cared too much about ordinary Longevity Immortal Mines.   But a Longevity Immortal Mine left behind by a Great Sage is a different story.   Even Venerable Jinque would be tempted by a Longevity Immortal Mine left behind by a powerhouse of that level.   This is because such a Longevity Immortal Mine can nurture top-grade immortal stones.   For a top-tier Half-Saint, top-grade immortal stones are of great significance.   In that instant,   Venerable Jinque didn’t hesitate and immediately set off for the Xuanji Immortal Sect.   …   While Venerable Jinque departed, Shen Changqing temporarily stayed at the Xuanji Immortal Sect.   Although the Xuanji Immortal Sect had suffered heavy losses, most of the fallen were ordinary cultivators and some elders.   The other Half-Saint level Supreme Elders were all alive. At   most   , they were severely injured, like Venerable Luo Tian. With   the Chaotic Void Sea fallen,   the Xuanji Immortal Sect lost its countless years of sect foundation.   The current Chaotic Dao Field was naturally incomparable to its former blessed land.   However…   At Shen Changqing’s level, all that’s missing is the right opportunity to break through to the Half-Saint realm and   attain immortality. Therefore, the amount of immortal energy and the quality of the cultivation environment are of little consequence.   After all, his cultivation has reached   its limit; if he were to break through to the Half-Saint realm, that would be a different story. The threshold   to immortality is now like a shackle.   If he cannot break free of this shackle, he is destined to be unable to advance further.   On this day,   Shen Changqing, who was meditating and adjusting his breathing, suddenly opened his eyes and looked out into the void.   ”They’ve arrived!”   His figure vanished.   At the same time,   all the Half-Saints of the Xuanji Immortal Sect also sensed that mysterious fluctuation of aura.   The next moment,   in the void outside, Shen Changqing and Venerable Luo Tian appeared one after the other. Then, the void trembled, and another figure slowly emerged.   ”Greetings, Senior Jin Que!”   Shen Changqing cupped his hands in greeting.   Venerable Luo Tian also bowed in greeting, saying, “Greetings, Fellow Daoist Jin Que!”   ”No need for such formalities, you two.”   Venerable Jin Que’s expression was indifferent, and as he spoke, his gaze fell directly on Shen Changqing.   ”Young friend Shen, it has been a long time since we parted ways!”   ”Indeed, twenty million years have passed since we parted. Speaking of which, I have never had the opportunity to repay your kindness!”

Shen Changqing smiled slightly, always maintaining a degree of respect for Venerable Jinque.

He would never forget the life-saving grace he received.

For Venerable Jinque, it might have been just a small favor,

but for Shen Changqing, it was a life-saving grace.

Otherwise,

his retreat from that battle would not have been so easy.

Venerable Jinque smiled faintly: “In the end, it’s because you, young friend, are blessed with great fortune and your strength is extraordinary. If it were any other cultivator, even with my intervention, I’m afraid they would not have been able to leave alive.” After a

brief exchange of pleasantries, Venerable Luotian interjected at the opportune moment.

“Fellow Daoist Jinque has come from afar, why don’t you come inside and have a seat?”

“As you wish!”

…

Inside the Immortal Mansion.

The three took their seats.

Venerable Luotian remained silent, but looked at Shen Changqing, who understood immediately. After a moment’s thought, he spoke.

“The reason I sent this message to you, senior, is for the sake of the Longevity Immortal Mine in the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

With the outbreak of the Calamity in the Chaotic Void Sea, some of the six major forces were unfortunately destroyed, while others, though not wiped out, suffered significant losses.

Now, a large number of demonic beasts have gathered in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, driven by the Demon King.

With our limited strength, we are ill-equipped to suppress the calamity and reclaim the Longevity Immortal Mine.

Therefore, I contacted you, senior, hoping to join forces with you to reclaim this Longevity Immortal Mine!”

He then said this.

Shen Changqing paused, then continued, “Of course, we won’t let you, Senior, act for nothing this time.

The Longevity Immortal Mine was originally controlled by six major powers, but now that the Tribulation Realm has fallen, if we can reclaim it, then it should be redistributed.

If you, Senior, are willing to help, upon success, you will receive 40% of the Longevity Immortal Mine, and the remaining 30% will be shared by me and the Xuanji Immortal Sect!”

Hearing Shen Changqing’s words, Venerable Jinque’s expression became much more serious.

He looked at Venerable Luotian beside him and asked, “Does Fellow Daoist Luotian share this view as well?” “

What Fellow Daoist Shen says is the intention of the Xuanji Immortal Sect!”

Venerable Luotian nodded.

The Longevity Immortal Mine would be divided among three parties, with Venerable Jinque representing the Taiyi Holy Land, which would occupy 40%. This was naturally a result of careful consideration.

After all, among the three parties, the Taiyi Holy Land was the strongest.

Even if Venerable Jinque didn’t represent the Taiyi Holy Land on this trip, he was still the strongest on his own.

If the other party doesn’t intervene, the hope of taking over the Tribulation Realm is slim.

Therefore,

the Xuanji Immortal Sect is naturally willing to give up the lion’s share.

As for sharing the remaining 60% with Shen Changqing, Venerable Luo Tian has also considered this carefully.

Although the other party is indeed an Immortal Emperor, his strength cannot be regarded as that of an Immortal Emperor.

The most important point

is that Shen Changqing’s potential cannot be measured by ordinary standards.

Such a strong person, once the time is right, can directly attain immortality.

Moreover—

half-saint is not the end for him.

With his talent, he may even advance further in the future, stepping into sainthood, or even higher realms.

Facing such a future powerhouse, Venerable Luo Tian naturally doesn’t want to antagonize him.

Sharing the share!

Gaining the favor of a future powerhouse is definitely not a loss.

Besides,

the power behind Shen Changqing is not weak either.

At least according to the information Venerable Luo Tian has, the Xuantian Dao Sect, where the other party used to belong, has several immortal half-saints. The Xuanji Immortal

Sect has suffered a significant loss of strength. Although it still possesses a Saint, the threat of the Heavenly Tribulation renders it virtually nonexistent.

Under these circumstances, sharing the remaining 60% with Shen Changqing is naturally the best course of action.

Venerable Jinque pondered for a moment, then asked, “Since neither young friend Shen nor the Xuanji Immortal Sect has any objections, then I naturally have none.

However, I am curious about the specific situation in the Tribulation Crossing Realm

.” Upon hearing this,

Venerable Luotian immediately recounted all the information about the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

Listening to what the other party said, Venerable Jinque’s expression gradually became solemn.

“Dozens of semi-saint beasts, more than one of which has reached the level of a top-tier semi-saint, and there’s even a Demon King manipulating the situation behind the scenes. In that case, the Crossing Calamity Realm is indeed quite difficult to conquer!”

Shen Changqing nodded. “The Crossing Calamity Realm is not to be underestimated, which is why this junior and the Xuanji Immortal Sect wish to ask you, senior, to join us in dealing with the beasts of the Crossing Calamity Realm!”

“Relying solely on my and your strength to take down the Crossing Calamity Realm will ultimately be quite risky.

If possible, I can persuade the other semi-saints within the Taiyi Holy Land to join forces. At that time, suppressing the beasts of the Crossing Calamity Realm will certainly not be a problem!”

Venerable Jinque’s words caused the two men’s expressions to change slightly.

Seeing this, the former naturally understood their concerns, so before Shen Changqing and Venerable Luotian could speak, Venerable Jinque continued,

“Of course, you can rest assured about this matter. The people I have invited are all close friends, and the news of the Crossing Calamity Realm will definitely not leak out.

I can guarantee this!”

These words made the two men’s expressions relax.

Venerable Luo Tian laughed and said, “Since Fellow Daoist Jin Que has said so, this humble Daoist has no reason not to believe it!” (End of this chapter)
