Chapter 298: The Shock Of Mastering Space Great Dao!
In the Ninth Heaven, the Radiant God King and two other God Kings were waiting to greet a figure.
A figure suddenly flew out from the passage of the Gods Universe.
However, upon seeing this figure, the expressions of the three God Kings slightly sank.
It wasn’t the Calamity God King!
It was the God of Ruin!
Although he was a renowned High God in the Gods Universe, and even the leader of the God of Ruin, one of the Calamity God King’s nine Divine Systems, the three God Kings wanted the Calamity God King.
What use could a mere High God be?
“Greetings to the three God Kings!”
The God of Ruin was also slightly surprised to see the three God Kings come to greet him, knowing they were there for the Calamity God King, not him.
As a result, the Calamity God King didn’t come?
“Why didn’t the Calamity God King come?”
The Radiant God King immediately spoke.
And his tone was far from polite.
“Reporting to the Radiant God King, my God King is currently focusing on preparing to conquer the Deep Blue Universe and therefore cannot spare the time to come to the Immortal Realm. I beg the Radiant God King’s understanding.”
“Cannot spare the time?”
The Radiant God King sneered.
He knew this was merely an excuse from the Calamity God King.
After so many years of preparation for the Deep Blue Universe, they still couldn’t open the cosmic passage, so how could they easily go conquer it?
The Calamity God King simply didn’t want to come to the Immortal Realm.
The Gods Universe was very powerful.
The Immortal Realm was not the first universe invaded by the Gods Universe.
Any different universe discovered by the Gods Universe would be invaded.
With the strength of the Gods Universe, invading a different universe didn’t require all their forces, so each new different universe had its own territorial divisions.
The Immortal Realm was not within the Calamity God King’s territory.
Even if the Immortal Realm Universe were conquered, it would have nothing to do with the Calamity God King.
Therefore, even with the Radiant God King’s invitation, the Calamity God King didn’t want to come.
However, out of consideration for his relationship with the Radiant God King and others, he still sent the “God of Ruin” to the Immortal Realm.
“Three God Kings, my God King said that if it’s just to deal with an Immortal Venerable who is proficient in space, I, this minor deity, am sufficient. I, this minor deity, can already destroy all things, and after forming a divine system, destroying a realm of space is a mere trifle. With the God Kings’ intervention then, it will surely be an easy victory!”
The God of Ruin was full of confidence.
The three God Kings exchanged glances.
The Calamity God King didn’t come, only the God of Ruin did, and they could do nothing about it.
Could they really drive the God of Ruin away?
For now, they could only try it out.
“God of Ruin, you need to know that this Immortal Venerable Ji Qing is not easy to deal with. You need to plan carefully.”
“Yes, God King. I will plan carefully…”
At this point, the three God Kings could only place their hopes on the God of Ruin.
…
Ji Qing returned to his Cave Dwelling in the Yun Guang Secret Realm.
He immediately checked his various stats.
Ji Qing: Immortal Venerable
Space Great Dao: Preliminary Mastery
Five Elements Great Dao: Unmastered
Saber Great Dao: Unmastered
Young Chaos Demon God: Sixth Order （1%）
Mind: Eighth Realm Tenth Stage （Immortal Characteristic）
Immortal Points: 673 points
According to his stats, Ji Qing had preliminarily mastered the Space Great Dao.
However, he still had the Five Elements Great Dao and Saber Great Dao unmastered.
As for the improvement in strength, it was mainly in the aspect of the Space Great Dao.
It was difficult to represent this with data.
Ji Qing finally comprehended the “Saber Great Dao” under the Great Dao Treasure Tree for two months, which also brought a slight improvement to Ji Qing’s Saber Great Dao.
Perhaps this would enhance the Might of the Void Shaking Saber.
What would truly bring a rapid improvement in combat power was likely the Saber Great Dao.
If he had preliminarily mastered the Saber Great Dao, then the Might of Ji Qing’s Saber Techniques would definitely increase significantly.
The current situation was still tense, but with Ji Qing’s growing abilities, the situation was becoming increasingly favorable for him.
It was nothing more than assassinating deities and accumulating Battle Merit.
He had preliminarily mastered the Space Great Dao, which would surely bring a qualitative improvement to his assassination efficiency.
“Continue accumulating Battle Merit!”
Ji Qing naturally knew what the immediate priority was.
With the Space Great Dao preliminarily mastered, Ji Qing was no longer afraid in the Ninth Heaven.
So, what was he waiting for?
Thus, Ji Qing took out the assassination list and, following the names on it, “assassinated” them one by one to accumulate Battle Merit.
The first, the second, the third…
Ji Qing’s performance this time was “crazy.”
He had never been like this before, completely disregarding the danger of a God King’s descent, frantically assassinating those High Gods on the assassination list, and crucially, Ji Qing’s assassinations were always effective.
Time passed by silently.
One day, Ji Qing arrived at the “Kong Yun Secret Realm.”
“Huh? Something’s wrong…”
As soon as Ji Qing manifested his form, he immediately sensed something was amiss.
It was too quiet.
Moreover, Ji Qing vaguely felt a faint sense of threat.
Although the threat was faint, it appeared suddenly.
“Shatter the void!”
As a strange and grand voice emerged.
In the next moment, the void instantly shattered like a mirror.
Within a radius of ten thousand miles, the void was completely broken.
With such a vast area, even if Ji Qing was very fast, how long would it take him to fly out of this area?
And the deities had prepared such a “grand gift” for him, would they really let him fly out of this area?
That was impossible!
There must be terrifying means following closely behind.
“Haha, good, Ji Qing. Without space, how do you plan to escape?”
A beam of light, accompanied by a familiar voice, descended from the sky.
Ji Qing recognized the deity from the voice.
The Radiant God King!
This was a trap set by the Radiant God King.
Once Ji Qing appeared, they would immediately destroy space, preventing Ji Qing from teleporting away, and then the Radiant God King would appear.
No, not just the Radiant God King.
There were two other attacks following closely behind.
That was… the combined effort of the three God Kings!
In an instant, various thoughts surfaced in Ji Qing’s mind.
Understood.
Everything was clear.
From beginning to end, this was a trap set by the three God Kings.
They were just waiting for Ji Qing to “walk into it.”
The three God Kings had invited a deity from somewhere who could destroy the void.
They had seen through Ji Qing’s weakness.
No matter how strong Ji Qing’s mastery of space was, if they destroyed the void, how could Ji Qing escape?
Therefore, at this moment, the three God Kings did not use their Divine Kingdoms, but directly launched their attacks, leaving Ji Qing no room for escape.
After all, Divine Kingdoms also have space!
“Why would Ji Qing be worthy? That the three God Kings would go to such lengths to eliminate me…”
The more this was the case, the calmer Ji Qing became.
If it were in the past, he would indeed be in a crisis.
And there would be almost no possibility of escape.
However, things were different now.
Destroying space?
This piece of void had indeed been destroyed.
But could Ji Qing truly not escape?
Ji Qing had preliminarily mastered the Space Great Dao.
In his eyes, the current pitch-black and shattered void was merely an illusion.
On the surface, the void was broken.
But in reality?
The Space Rules were still there.
Those interwoven spatial lines, forming Space Nodes, were also still present.
Ji Qing looked up and saw that the attacks of the three God Kings were almost upon him.
Ji Qing no longer hesitated and directly stepped into a Space Node in front of him.
“Boom.”
The attacks of the three God Kings fell, instantly annihilating this entire area.
These were the attacks of the three God Kings.
“Swish.”
The three God Kings appeared.
However, the expressions of the three God Kings were very grim.
They had been staring intently at Ji Qing the entire time and had naturally seen clearly.
The moment their attacks arrived, Ji Qing had disappeared.
He had simply vanished from this shattered void.
It was clearly teleportation.
But the problem was, this space had been destroyed, and it was the God of Ruin himself who had destroyed it. The three God Kings felt there was no issue with this.
But why could Ji Qing still teleport away?
This was even more incredible!
“What exactly is going on?”
“Why could Ji Qing teleport away again?”
“God of Ruin, explain clearly.”
The expressions of the three God Kings were grim.
And the God of Ruin’s expression was also grim.
“I destroyed space, but if one transcends space, the so-called Space Great Dao of the Immortal Realm cannot be destroyed. If he traversed the void using the Space Great Dao, perhaps…”
The God of Ruin voiced his conjecture.
“Impossible! In the cultivation system of the Immortal Realm, if one could traverse space using the Space Great Dao, they would likely have already preliminarily mastered the Space Great Dao, and Ji Qing would have already achieved Immortal King status, not just a mere Immortal Venerable!”
The three God Kings immediately denied it.
“Continue to encircle and kill Ji Qing!”
The three God Kings were unwilling to give up.
They absolutely refused to believe that Ji Qing had preliminarily mastered the Space Great Dao.
They perhaps still felt that Ji Qing might have used some treasure.
Or some stroke of luck.
“Whoosh.”
At this moment, Ji Qing successfully teleported back to the Yun Guang Secret Realm.
However, as soon as Ji Qing teleported back, he immediately felt that his Great Dao Body had a significant consumption.
This was normal.
After all, this time Ji Qing teleported not by normally entering a spatial tunnel to escape, but by using a Space Node to teleport back, which consumed a considerable amount of his Space Great Dao.
It was generally only possible to traverse space using Space Nodes when one had preliminarily mastered the Space Great Dao.
“The three God Kings do have their methods, destroying ten thousand miles of void, and ambushing just to kill me…”
Ji Qing sneered softly.
He was very calm in his heart.
Facing the siege and killing of the three God Kings just now, Ji Qing’s initial comprehension of the Space Great Dao played its part.
Even when space was destroyed, Ji Qing could still traverse space.
Leaving the three God Kings helpless.
This is the advantage of Ji Qing’s initial comprehension of the Space Great Dao.
Ji Qing was not intimidated.
He continued to assassinate those High Gods.
Once, twice, thrice…
As Ji Qing was attempting his fifth assassination, he was jointly attacked by the three God Kings.
This time, the three God Kings’ formation was even tighter.
Not only was the void destroyed.
There was also the power of a Great Formation to seal the void.
Ensuring that that piece of void would definitely be destroyed.
And if Ji Qing possessed any treasures, under the sealing of the Great Formation, the treasures would not allow Ji Qing to move too far.
The three God Kings were very well prepared.
Unfortunately, Ji Qing still disappeared.
In the face of the Space Great Dao, this level of preparation had absolutely no effect.
At this moment, no matter how unwilling the three God Kings were, they understood in their hearts that the tide had turned.
Even if they were unwilling to admit it, they had guessed in their hearts that Ji Qing had most likely initially comprehended the Space Great Dao.
Even if he hadn’t achieved Immortal King status yet, he should be close to achieving it.
And he would be an extremely troublesome and terrifying Space Immortal King!
The confrontation between Ji Qing and the three God Kings held little significance for many cultivators in the Immortal Realm.
However, the Creation Immortal King understood it very well.
Shortly after Ji Qing returned to the Yun Guang Secret Realm by traversing space, he sent a communication talisman to summon Ji Qing to the Immortal King’s Palace.
“Greetings, Immortal King.”
Ji Qing still respectfully saluted the Creation Immortal King.
The Creation Immortal King stared intently at Ji Qing.
“Ji Qing, the three God Kings have repeatedly made unusual moves and jointly besieged you, but you escaped each time. Have you… initially comprehended the Space Great Dao?”
The Creation Immortal King’s voice even carried a hint of excitement.
It was understandable that the Creation Immortal King was excited.
If Ji Qing mastered the Space Great Dao, he would be an extremely rare Space Immortal King!
In the Immortal Realm, there were quite a few Immortal Venerables who introduced the Space Great Dao.
But in the end, none of them managed to achieve the status of Space Immortal King.
If Ji Qing could initially comprehend the Space Great Dao and thus achieve Immortal King status, then Ji Qing would be the first Space Immortal King born in the Immortal Realm!
The Creation Immortal King understood too well what “Space Immortal King” meant.
“Immortal King… Disciple still has some distance to go.”
Ji Qing said calmly.
His words were ambiguous.
Ji Qing had indeed initially comprehended the Space Great Dao.
But he was still quite far from becoming an Immortal King.
This was because he possessed three Great Daos.
The Creation Immortal King stared intently at Ji Qing.
In fact, even the Creation Immortal King could not discern that Ji Qing possessed three Great Daos.
However, he could tell that Ji Qing was still in the Great Dao Body stage and had not yet transformed into an Immortal King.
This point was undeniable.
The Creation Immortal King pondered.
Could he have guessed wrong?
Ji Qing might not have comprehended the Space Great Dao yet.
But after several attempts to comprehend the Great Dao Treasure Tree, Ji Qing’s attainments in space had reached an extremely high level.
Perhaps he was not far from comprehending the Space Great Dao?
This possibility was very high.
Otherwise, Ji Qing could not have repeatedly escaped the sieges of the three God Kings.
It was even targeted sieges by the three God Kings against Ji Qing, yet they could not do anything to him, which showed how high Ji Qing’s current attainments in space were, allowing him to escape from the presence of the three God Kings with ease.
“Good, Ji Qing, even if you can escape from the encirclement and killing of the three God Kings, you must be careful and cautious, and do not be careless.”
“Yes, Immortal King.”
Ji Qing left the Immortal King’s Palace.
He naturally would not underestimate the three God Kings.
Ji Qing’s accumulated battle merits had long exceeded ten thousand.
But Ji Qing already had experience comprehending the Great Dao Treasure Tree, and he knew that one year of comprehension was not enough to master the Saber Great Dao, so he planned to accumulate more battle merits.
The final step would be completed in one go.
It would be good if he could accumulate at least eighty thousand battle merits to exchange for eight years of comprehension time at the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
Ji Qing was able to comprehend the Space Great Dao because he had comprehended the Great Dao Treasure Tree for a total of eight years.
Time passed day by day.
After failing to besiege Ji Qing twice, the three God Kings stopped trying to besiege him.
Instead, they instructed the High Gods to retract their defenses.
The three God Kings only needed to focus on some High Gods they were closely guarding.
However, the Ninth Heaven was too vast.
There would always be times when the God Kings could not keep an eye on everything.
Moreover, even if a God King was watching, as long as Ji Qing acted quickly enough, he could succeed with one strike and then retreat calmly.
Therefore, Ji Qing could kill a few or a dozen High Gods almost every year.
In other words, Ji Qing could obtain over ten thousand battle merits in a year.
This efficiency was terrifying!
Many Immortal Venerables, even united, had not managed to kill a single High God in so many years.
But Ji Qing?
Killing High Gods was as easy as eating and drinking.
This led to the Gods Universe even willing to abandon certain Secret Realms and completely retract their defenses.
They all gathered in areas not far from the three God Kings.
This was simply an unexpected surprise.
The Heavenly Court gained benefits for nothing, “recapturing” Secret Realm after Secret Realm.
The situation for the Heavenly Court in the Ninth Heaven was excellent!
However, as the three God Kings of the Gods Universe retracted their defenses and voluntarily abandoned some Secret Realms.
They instead converged around the Divine Kingdom coverage areas of the three God Kings.
Although the Heavenly Court might have gained benefits, it clearly became more difficult for Ji Qing.
He could indeed escape from the three God Kings.
But if he appeared in a God King’s Divine Kingdom, the God King could detect him immediately.
He could no longer attempt sneak attacks or assassinations on High Gods.
Therefore, in the days that followed, Ji Qing’s opportunities to assassinate High Gods became fewer and fewer, and the number of battle merits obtained naturally decreased.
Time flew by, and thirty years passed.
Ji Qing finally risked it again and killed another High God.
The three God Kings were furious.
It was a close call; Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body was almost shattered by the attacks of the three God Kings.
But in the end, Ji Qing narrowly returned to the Yun Guang Secret Realm.
Ji Qing immediately checked his current battle merits.
“Battle Merits: 100500”
These were Ji Qing’s current battle merits.
Exceeding one hundred thousand!
With one hundred thousand battle merits, Ji Qing could exchange for ten years of comprehension time at the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
However, these one hundred thousand battle merits were hard-earned.
The battle merits in the early stages were slightly more.
But in the later stages, every single battle merit was very difficult to obtain.
On average, Ji Qing only obtained over three thousand battle merits per year.
This was equivalent to assassinating an average of three High Gods per year.
Compared to before, this number was quite sparse.
Previously, Ji Qing could assassinate about ten High Gods per year.
But as the three God Kings abandoned large areas.
Directly covering many Secret Realms with their Divine Kingdoms, the number of High Gods Ji Qing could successfully ambush per year became fewer and fewer.
Ultimately, Ji Qing’s combat power was still too poor.
If he could exchange a few blows with a God King head-on, and if he could withstand a few attacks from a God King, Ji Qing would have the confidence to forcefully kill High Gods under the God King’s attacks and thus obtain a large amount of battle merits.
Unfortunately, how easy was it to withstand a God King’s attack head-on?
Unless Ji Qing could master the Saber Great Dao again.
Perhaps he could try.
“It’s almost enough. In fact, eighty thousand battle merits should be enough to comprehend the Saber Great Dao, but let’s be on the safe side and gather one hundred thousand battle merits to exchange for ten years of time!”
A sharp glint flashed in Ji Qing’s eyes.
What was the purpose of him working so hard to assassinate High Gods in the Ninth Heaven?
Naturally, it was to accumulate enough battle merits to comprehend the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
This Great Dao Treasure Tree was of immense importance to Ji Qing!
“Exchange for ten years of Great Dao Treasure Tree comprehension time!”
Ji Qing no longer hesitated and immediately exchanged it.
Afterward, Ji Qing took a step forward, his figure flickered slightly, and he swiftly traversed space, arriving outside the Great Dao Treasure Tree once more.
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing revealed himself.
He saw a familiar figure.
It was an old acquaintance, Green Leaf Immortal Venerable!
Upon seeing Ji Qing, Green Leaf Immortal Venerable was also slightly startled.
But then he gave a wry smile: “Fellow Daoist Ji, you’re here again. The speed at which you gain battle merits is simply…”
Green Leaf Immortal Venerable shook his head.
He was always guarding outside the Great Dao Treasure Tree, so he naturally knew how difficult it was for other Immortal Venerables to earn ten thousand battle merits.
And Ji Qing?
He had actually earned another ten thousand battle merits and could come to comprehend the Great Dao Treasure Tree again.
It was truly… unbelievable!
“Ten thousand battle merits?”
Ji Qing smiled and said nothing.
He simply handed his Identity Token to Green Leaf Immortal Venerable.
Green Leaf Immortal Venerable took the Identity Token and checked the comprehension time Ji Qing had exchanged.
“Wait, ten… ten years?”
Green Leaf Immortal Venerable’s heart trembled.
He immediately widened his eyes, as if he couldn’t believe it.
Ten years of comprehension time meant one hundred thousand battle merits!
He had thought Ji Qing had exchanged for ten thousand battle merits.
But it turned out to be one hundred thousand battle merits?
The speed of accumulating battle merits was terrifying.
Could it be that the Immortal Kings had given Ji Qing special treatment?
It was too outrageous.
“Shua.”
Attracted by Green Leaf Immortal Venerable’s exclamation of “ten years.”
Some nearby Immortal Venerables who were also verifying their identities suddenly turned their heads, and their gazes instantly fell upon Ji Qing.
