Chapter 3939 The Jiang Family of Jidu

Twelve Chaos Saint Bone Pills

allowed Shen Changqing to break through his strength once again.

Before his seclusion,

his physical strength was only equivalent to 51,000 Chaos Divine Elephants.

However, after emerging from seclusion, it had exceeded 60,000.

Although there was still a long way to go to reach the strength of 100,000 Chaos Divine Elephants,

such an improvement was still significant.

Unfortunately,

Half-Saint level Chaos Divine Elephants were hard to find.

Since the Divine Firmament Pavilion found traces of one Chaos Divine Elephant, there had been no news of any other Chaos Divine Elephants.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing could only wait patiently.

Without the aid of Chaos Saint Bone Pills in his cultivation, he did not slack off, spending most of his time silently studying the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture to draw upon the fiendish energy of heaven and earth to temper himself.

However, compared to before, his current cultivation speed was naturally much slower.

A hundred years later.

Shen Changqing opened his eyes and shook his head inwardly: “Without the aid of the Chaos Saint Bone Pill, although my cultivation of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture hasn’t stagnated, it’s progressing very slowly.

At this rate, even if I had tens of millions of years, I might not be able to reach the first major stage of mastery!”

He had long anticipated the difficulty of cultivating the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture.

But now that he had truly settled down to cultivate, Shen Changqing could truly understand that the difference between having pills to assist cultivation and not having them was greater than he had imagined.

“No wonder cultivation emphasizes wealth, companions, methods, and location. Wealth comes first; without sufficient cultivation resources to assist one’s cultivation, one is definitely lacking!”

He shook his head helplessly.

This was unavoidable.

But the problem was that finding a Half-Saint level Chaos Divine Elephant was difficult. Without the Chaos Saint Bone Pill, all Shen Changqing could do was rely on time to slowly wear it down.

Thinking of this

, Shen Changqing felt it necessary to communicate with Jiu Ye.

“Senior?”

He tried to transmit his thoughts using divine sense, but the message sank without a trace, and there was no response for a long time.

Just as Shen Changqing thought the other party was completely asleep, the Soul-Destroying Sword trembled slightly, and then Jiu Ye’s voice rang in his mind.   Shen Changqing didn’t waste any words and directly explained the situation, while also stating his concerns.   Upon hearing

this ,   Jiu Ye said, “You’ve been in this Immortal Abode for quite some time now. Your own Great Dao’s karma is in harmony with this Immortal Abode, which inherently possesses some subtle power to conceal heavenly secrets.   Moreover, I’ve recovered somewhat over the years, and using the power of this Immortal Abode to conceal heavenly secrets is sufficient.   However, if you leave the Cangyun Immortal Abode, you need to take the Soul-Destroying Sword with you.   After all, if you leave, the power of this Immortal Abode to conceal heavenly secrets and karma will be greatly reduced, and it won’t be so easy to deceive the gaze of a Great Dao Master.”   ”I see!”   Shen Changqing’s expression immediately understood.   This was naturally good news for him.   After all, keeping the Soul-Destroying Sword on himself greatly diminished the effectiveness of the Seven Profound Divine Tower, making it difficult to utilize the first level of space, which would be a disadvantage in the long run.   If he had the Chaos Saint Bone Pill to aid his cultivation, then it wouldn’t matter much.   Whether or not he had the first level of space wouldn’t be a big deal.   But currently, Chaos Saint Bone Pills are scarce, and if Shen Changqing wanted to cultivate the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture, he could only rely on time to hone his skills bit by bit.   Therefore,   the first level of space in the Seven Profound Divine Tower was of extraordinary significance.   A hundred times the time   could, to the greatest extent, compensate for the gap without pills.   After all, even if the Chaos Saint Bone Pill was powerful, it was impossible to truly shorten the gap by a hundredfold.   He had only temporarily refrained from using it because of Jiu Ye’s presence.   But now it was different.   Since the other party had personally stated there was no problem, he had nothing to worry about.   Immediately,   Shen Changqing summoned the Soul-Destroying Sword and placed it in his Immortal Mansion’s main hall. Then, the Seven Profound Divine Tower appeared, and his figure vanished instantly.   At the same time,   Jiu Ye was also examining the ancient divine tower before him. Even with his limited understanding, he couldn’t immediately discern the Seven Profound Divine Tower’s depth.   ”This thing has an extraordinary origin!”   he thought to himself.   Although his own strength had declined, his realm as a Lord of the Great Dao remained, and his vision was far beyond that of ordinary people.   Even so, he still couldn’t fathom the depths of the Seven Profound Divine Tower.   This alone   was enough to demonstrate the Seven Profound Divine Tower’s extraordinary nature.   Undoubtedly,   it was a top-tier treasure,   and one of extraordinary origin.   ”This thing might also be something left behind by some Lord of the Great Dao!”   This thought flashed through Jiu Ye’s mind, but he quickly dismissed it.   Throughout history,   countless ages   , no one knew how many powerful figures had ever reached this level.   After all, while Lords of the Great Dao were immortal, they were not invincible.   Even though powerful figures at this level had many ways to protect themselves and were difficult to truly kill, there was always the possibility of their demise. It wasn’t   impossible   that the Seven Profound Divine Tower before him belonged to some ancient Lord of the Great Dao .   Perhaps even something   above the Lord of the Great Dao.   With this thought,   Jiu Ye stopped thinking about it.   For him now, slowly nurturing his divine soul and restoring his strength was the key.   …   The Seven Profound Divine Tower.   Within the first level of space.   Shen Changqing was already in seclusion, cultivating.   In the vast void, an immortal abode identical to the Cangyun Immortal Abode appeared, also containing ancient trees. However, while these ancient trees outwardly resembled the Bodhi Ancient Tree, they were in fact worlds apart.   The former possessed a top-tier ninth-order immortal root, its strength approaching the half-saint realm.   As for the latter…

This was merely a phantom created by Shen Changqing using the characteristics of the Seven Profound Divine Tower and his own strength and methods.

At this moment,

inside the Immortal Abode

, he sat cross-legged. The malevolent energy of heaven and earth outside was drawn towards the Seven Profound Divine Tower, falling into the first level of space and ultimately merging into Shen Changqing’s body.

Currently, the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is experiencing frequent calamities, dark turmoil, and continuous catastrophes.

Adding to this, the combined attack of the various immortal states on the Southern Yuan Dao State resulted in the deaths of countless powerful cultivators, and the killing intent had already reached an astonishing level.

The killing intent from the battle of the Southern Yuan Dao State alone was enough to sustain for tens of millions of years.

Not to mention,

the battle of the Southern Yuan Dao State was not yet truly over, and the catastrophe of evil spirits followed.

Even now,

the catastrophe has not subsided.

The number of cultivators who perished in this calamity is far more than hundreds of millions.

The malevolent energy of heaven and earth has reached a terrifying level.

This kind of killing intent…

This was the perfect nourishment for cultivating the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture.

Nourished by this malevolent energy of heaven and earth, Shen Changqing silently cultivated, the terrifying malevolent energy merging into his body. In the darkness, a great river of the Great Dao emerged from the void.

This great river of the Great Dao was the Dao of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture.

Within this vast river, an ancient battlefield unfolded, with a majestic, unyielding figure sweeping across the entire ancient battlefield, slaughtering all living beings.

This majestic figure was not a real entity, but an embodiment of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The ancient battlefield within the great river of the Great Dao was just one of many battlefields throughout the vast expanse of time.

At this moment,

Shen Changqing seemed to have transformed into an ancient war god, walking among the many battlefields of the river of time, becoming an unparalleled being, slaying all enemies before him.

With each cultivator who perished, pure malevolent energy and Daoist principles entered his body, and his cultivation seemed to rise accordingly. “

…

Reporting to the Sect Master, we have found the bloodline descendant of that mysterious being!”

An elder from the Taiyi Immortal Sect reported this, and upon hearing it, Daoist Taisu’s previously indifferent expression instantly changed.

“Speak!”

he impatiently pressed.

His usually calm Dao heart was no longer at peace.

Since the Dao Ancestor issued the decree, the Taiyi Immortal Sect had been searching for the whereabouts of the blood’s owner, but without any results.

Therefore,

Daoist Taisu had to find other ways to search for the bloodline descendant of that being.

To be honest,

he wasn’t entirely sure whether that being truly had any bloodline descendants.

After all, many ancient beings were solitary and didn’t care about Daoist partners or bloodlines.

Therefore

, such beings often didn’t have any bloodline descendants.

However, Daoist Taisu was determined to try anyway.

There was no loss if he didn’t find them, but finding them would be ideal.

Now…

Upon hearing such news, how could Daoist Taisu not be delighted?

The elder bowed his head and replied, “This bloodline originates from the Jidu Jiang family!”

“The Jidu Jiang family!”

Hearing this name, Daoist Taisu’s expression turned somewhat grim.

There were many Jiang families!

Not to mention the entire Dongming Immortal Continent, even in the Donghua Immortal Domain, there were hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Jiang families. After all, any cultivator with the surname Jiang could establish their own immortal clan to continue their bloodline.

But to be called the Jidu Jiang family meant only one powerful force could achieve this.

Inside the main hall,

the other cultivators’ expressions also changed slightly upon hearing this.

“The Jidu Jiang family… are you sure this force is related to that mysterious being?”

“If that’s true, then things are quite troublesome—”

Some cultivators were skeptical, while others found the situation extremely troublesome.

If the news was false, it meant the Taiyi Immortal Sect had been disappointed, but if it was true, it was no ordinary problem.

After all—

that was the Jidu Jiang family!

The Jidu Jiang family is a top-tier power in the Jidu Immortal Domain, and its lineage is extremely ancient, even predating the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

This demonstrates

just how terrifying such a power is.

If the information is accurate, the consequences of the Taiyi Immortal Sect going to war with such an ancient immortal clan would be unimaginable.

A semi-saint said in a deep voice, “The Jidu Jiang family is not to be underestimated. Legend has it that in ancient times, this power even produced an unparalleled expert who could suppress the entire Dongming Immortal Continent, with no other force able to contend with them.

We have no idea how much foundation this ancient power possesses.

If we rashly start a war, even if we can suppress the Jidu Jiang family, we fear we will pay a heavy price!”

Upon hearing this,

the other cultivators fell silent.

It could be said that the name of the Jidu Jiang family was enough to make anyone hesitate.

The Taiyi Immortal Sect was indeed a supreme power in the Donghua Immortal Domain, and few forces in the entire Dongming Immortal Continent could rival it.

But unfortunately,

the Jidu Jiang family was among those few.

If it were an ordinary force, the Taiyi Immortal Sect would have no reason to hesitate and would simply wipe them out.

But the Jidu Jiang family… that’s a different story.

Taisu Daojun’s face was grim, his hand resting on the armrest, his fingers tapping rhythmically.

He hadn’t considered that the other party was related to the Jidu Jiang family.

But upon further reflection,

it made sense.

The background of such a supreme expert was definitely not simple.

The Jidu Jiang family’s rise to this level was likely inextricably linked to them.

Thinking this,

Taisu Daojun’s eyes turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, “The Jidu Jiang family has been in decline for a long time and is no longer what it once was. Now that the Dao Ancestor’s decree is before us, if we remain inactive, we will surely incur the Dao Ancestor’s displeasure.

Right now, we must find the whereabouts of the blood’s owner.

The Jidu Jiang family is related to them; perhaps that person is hiding among them.”

If the Jidu Jiang family is sensible and hands over the person, that would be good; otherwise, they will have no choice but to be wiped out! “

As soon as the word ‘annihilate’ was uttered, the temperature in the entire hall plummeted.

The Taiyi Immortal Sect had reached its current position by stepping on the corpses of countless powerful forces.

Although a force like the Jidu Jiang family was incomparable to others,

—as

mentioned before —

the Jidu Jiang family had declined.

If they were at their peak, the Taiyi Immortal Sect would naturally have to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

But now,

the situation was different.

Hearing the sect leader’s words, the other cultivators exchanged glances, each seeing concern in their eyes.

This was easier said than done; if war truly broke out, the Jidu Jiang family would not simply surrender.

If they were to launch a desperate counterattack, the price the Taiyi Immortal Sect would have to pay was unimaginable.

Perhaps

many of the cultivators present would perish in that battle.

Such a matter concerning their lives was naturally a cause for concern.

Seeing the expressions of the many cultivators below, Daoist Taisu understood their worries, so he changed the subject and spoke again.”

“I will report this matter to the Dao Ancestor and ask for his decision.

If we can obtain the Dao Ancestor’s support, dealing with the Jidu Jiang family will be much easier!”

“The Sect Master is absolutely right!” Hearing this

, all the cultivators secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

Seeking the Dao Ancestor’s permission

was the best solution.

After all, he wouldn’t send them to their deaths.

With the Dao Ancestor’s unparalleled cultivation, dealing with the Jidu Jiang family would be a piece of cake.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Tai Su Daojun said no more and his figure slowly disappeared.

The next moment,

he appeared inside the Dao Ancestor’s Immortal Palace.

This hall was dedicated to all the powerful figures of the Taiyi Immortal Sect throughout history.

However, most of the powerful figures enshrined here had perished and passed away; very few were truly alive. Among all the powerful figures throughout history, the Dao Ancestor held the highest position.

This was because he was the founding ancestor of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and his status was naturally incomparable to those who came after him.

The mere fact that this hall was named the Dao Ancestor’s Immortal Palace was enough to explain everything.

Tai Su Daojun lit incense before the Dao Ancestor’s statue, and wisps of green smoke slowly rose, manifesting the phantom of the Great Dao River in the void of the hall. Then, he respectfully bowed.

“Tai Su, a junior disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, requests an audience with the Dao Ancestor!” (End of Chapter)
