Chapter 275: Ji Qing Slays The Ten Great Heavenly Venerables, Shocking Cangwu Immortal Palace! Immortal Lords Tremble, Rewarded With Twelve-grade Precious Lotus!
Battlefield Number 31, Cangwu Immortal Palace.
Ji Qing was escorted by a group of True Immortals to Cangwu Immortal Palace.
They were incredibly enthusiastic.
Upon learning of Ji Qing’s identity, each True Immortal’s eyes revealed a look of anticipation.
Clearly, they had been waiting for Ji Qing for a long time.
Or rather, they had been anticipating strong reinforcements for a long time.
Now that Ji Qing had finally arrived, and he was an Immortal Venerable’s direct disciple, he was bound to be a strong reinforcement, so they were naturally very excited.
“Where is Senior Brother?”
Ji Qing asked.
“Cangwu Immortal Lord is currently inspecting Battlefield Number 31. Our Battlefield Number 31 is very special; True Immortals at the True Immortal Level are no match for the Heavenly Venerates of the Eternal Universe, so we can only rely on Cangwu Immortal Lord to hold the line. Cangwu Immortal Lord is also working very hard. However, it’s good that Fellow Daoist Ji has arrived now…”
Ji Qing nodded.
Not long after, a figure appeared within Cangwu Immortal Palace.
It was an Immortal Lord who was tall and incredibly handsome.
He exuded a powerful aura.
Stronger than any Immortal Lord Ji Qing had ever seen.
If ordinary Immortal Lords were considered 1, and slightly stronger Immortal Lords were 1.5, then Cangwu Immortal Lord was likely 1.9, or even 1.99, just half a step away from becoming an Immortal Venerable.
But that half step was the most difficult.
It had stumped countless Immortal Lords.
“Junior Brother, Ji Qing!”
Cangwu Immortal Lord spoke first.
It was also his first time seeing Ji Qing, and he was constantly observing Ji Qing.
“Greetings, Senior Brother.”
Ji Qing said.
“Did Master only send you?”
“Yes, only me.”
“Just one person…”
Cangwu Immortal Lord frowned slightly.
When he requested reinforcements from his Master, he had stated the situation was dire and asked for more disciples to be sent.
Master had quite a few disciples under him.
But in the end, only Ji Qing was sent?
Based on his understanding of his Master, this was not normal.
There was only one possibility.
Master had extreme confidence in Ji Qing.
Believing that Ji Qing alone would be sufficient.
But could one True Immortal turn around the current situation on Battlefield Number 31?
It was probably very difficult!
However, since Ji Qing had come, Cangwu Immortal Lord naturally wouldn’t say discouraging words.
“Since Junior Brother has arrived, the situation on my Battlefield Number 31 can be stabilized. Junior Brother, please rest for a while, and then we will need your significant assistance.”
“Alright.”
Cangwu Immortal Lord had someone escort Ji Qing to rest.
Back in his cave dwelling within the Immortal Palace, Ji Qing was deep in thought.
That “Senior Brother” didn’t seem to have much faith in him, his “Junior Brother.”
But this was normal.
In this short period, Ji Qing had gained some understanding of Battlefield Number 31.
The gap between Battlefield Number 31 and the opposing Eternal Universe forces was too vast.
It wasn’t a gap at the Immortal Lord level, but at the True Immortal level.
The Eternal Universe had dispatched many powerful Heavenly Venerates.
These Heavenly Venerates had made the True Immortals on Battlefield Number 31 flee in disarray.
Some top-tier True Immortals had come to Battlefield Number 31 for support before.
But they had all returned in defeat.
Some top-tier True Immortals had directly perished on Battlefield Number 31.
Over time, even top-tier True Immortals avoided Battlefield Number 31.
They simply didn’t come to Battlefield Number 31.
Of course, there were other factors that kept top-tier True Immortals away from Battlefield Number 31.
For instance, Cangwu Immortal Lord also had some rivals who were causing trouble.
They couldn’t cause major destruction, but these minor issues gave Cangwu Immortal Lord a lot of headaches.
It was for these reasons that Cangwu Immortal Lord had to seek help from Zi Xu Immortal Venerable.
However, regardless of whether Cangwu Immortal Lord doubted him or had other considerations.
It didn’t matter.
On the battlefield, strength determined the victor.
Once on the battlefield, one’s strength or weakness would be immediately apparent.
Time passed day by day.
With Ji Qing’s arrival at Battlefield Number 31, even though he hadn’t made a move, he was gradually understanding the specific situation of Battlefield Number 31.
Especially the Heavenly Venerates on the Eternal Universe side.
Ji Qing would not underestimate his opponents.
He had to understand them thoroughly.
One day, two days, three days, four days, five days…
Ji Qing stayed in Cangwu Immortal Palace for half a month.
Originally, the True Immortals on Battlefield Number 31 had placed high hopes on Ji Qing.
After all, he was an Immortal Venerable’s direct disciple, and Cangwu Immortal Lord’s Junior Brother.
But the result was just this?
For half a month, Ji Qing had been hiding in Cangwu Immortal Palace and refused to come out.
What kind of strong reinforcement was this?
However, there was nothing they could do about Ji Qing not coming out.
Because Cangwu Immortal Lord hadn’t given the order, no one could force Ji Qing to go out and fight the cultivators of the Eternal Universe.
Gradually, the True Immortals on Battlefield Number 31 went from initial eager anticipation, to ecstatic joy upon Ji Qing’s arrival, and now to despair and dejection.
But Ji Qing paid no mind to the opinions of the other True Immortals on Battlefield Number 31.
This was a war, not sparring.
A moment’s negligence could lead to unimaginable consequences.
Therefore, Ji Qing had to investigate thoroughly and know himself and his enemy.
Over the course of half a month, Ji Qing had completely understood the situation on Battlefield Number 31.
On Battlefield Number 31, there was talk of the “Ten Great Heavenly Venerates” on the Eternal Universe side.
This meant that these ten Heavenly Venerates could act with impunity on Battlefield Number 31.
Although Battlefield Number 31 was not solely being pushed back due to these “Ten Great Heavenly Venerates,” their influence was clearly the greatest.
If these Ten Great Heavenly Venerates could be eliminated, the situation on Battlefield Number 31 would surely be reversed quickly.
“The Ten Great Heavenly Venerates…”
Ji Qing already had a plan in mind.
He wouldn’t make a move unless it was necessary, but when he did, he had to eliminate the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates!
This was his goal.
Thus, Ji Qing began to closely monitor news about the “Ten Great Heavenly Venerates” on Battlefield Number 31.
As soon as there was news of the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates being dispatched, that would be Ji Qing’s time to act.
Ji Qing immediately sent a communication talisman to Senior Brother Cangwu Immortal Lord.
“Notify me as soon as there is news of the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates.”
When Cangwu Immortal Lord received the communication talisman, a glint appeared in his eyes.
“My Junior Brother is finally willing to make a move. He’s quite cautious, and Master also sent a message earlier telling me to trust Junior Brother, stating that as long as they are at the True Immortal level, Junior Brother can handle them…”
Cangwu Immortal Lord was also very interested.
He also wanted to see why Master had such confidence in Ji Qing.
After all, the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates of the Eternal Universe were not weak at all.
If the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates joined forces, they could even contend with an Immortal Lord!
Only Cangwu Immortal Lord himself could suppress the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates.
But he was being watched by powerful figures from the Eternal Universe, and if he made a move, they would also intervene to intercept him.
However, now that Ji Qing was here, it could be left to Ji Qing.
He only needed to provide the information.
Time flew by, and three days passed.
Battlefield Number 31 was being pushed back by the Eternal Universe forces. If not for the forceful orders from Immortal Lords, not a single True Immortal would be willing to fight on Battlefield Number 31.
On this day, Ji Qing was waiting for news.
And the news finally arrived.
“Buzz.”
Ji Qing’s communication stone vibrated.
“Hmm?”
Ji Qing took out the communication stone; it was a message from Senior Brother Cangwu Immortal Lord.
“Thunderstorm Heavenly Venerable and Frost Heavenly Venerable have appeared. The specific location is…”
A sharp glint flashed in Ji Qing’s eyes.
He had finally waited for two of the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates to appear.
Although only two Heavenly Venerates, it was exactly what Ji Qing wanted.
Two great Heavenly Venerates, neither too strong nor too weak, were perfect targets to weaken the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates.
Thus, Ji Qing rose and left his cave dwelling.
As soon as Ji Qing left his cave dwelling, he was immediately noticed by the True Immortals.
There were still many True Immortals in Cangwu Immortal Palace.
“Is that Ji Qing? He’s finally willing to come out?”
“Ji Qing is heading straight for the front lines, is he going to make a move?”
“After waiting for more than half a month, he’s finally going to act…”
Many True Immortals recognized Ji Qing.
Seeing Ji Qing about to act, they should have been excited, but Ji Qing’s hiding in the Immortal Palace earlier had disappointed many True Immortals, so they were now very restrained.
They prepared to monitor Ji Qing’s situation at any time.
To wait and see what would happen!
But the True Immortals fighting on the front lines could not afford to wait and see.
They were currently facing immense pressure, even life-threatening crises.
For example, now, the Eternal Universe’s Thunderstorm Heavenly Venerable and Frost Heavenly Venerable had appeared and directly intervened in the battle.
Many True Immortals were brutally slaughtered.
Originally, it was an evenly matched fight at the beginning.
But with the intervention of these two Heavenly Venerates, it became a one-sided affair.
“This is bad, it’s Thunderstorm Heavenly Venerable and Frost Heavenly Venerable…”
“Although only two of the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates have appeared, we can’t withstand them. Where is Cangwu Immortal Lord?”
“Cangwu Immortal Lord is already being targeted by the powerful figures of the Eternal Universe. It’s becoming increasingly difficult for him to make a move recently, and he probably won’t be able to act this time either.”
“If Cangwu Immortal Lord doesn’t make a move, then aren’t we all going to die?”
For a time, many True Immortals fell into despair.
The appearance of two of the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates was enough to tip the scales.
And indeed, that was the case.
As the two Heavenly Venerates revealed their Heavenly Bodies.
Instantly, the True Immortals on Battlefield Number 31 collapsed.
They had absolutely no fighting spirit.
“These True Immortals are too weak…”
Thunderstorm Heavenly Venerable wantonly unleashed lightning.
The entire void seemed to have turned into a sea of lightning.
Any True Immortal enveloped by his lightning sea was essentially doomed.
The other Frost Heavenly Venerable was similar; his cold air directly froze many True Immortals.
They simply couldn’t withstand it.
This was what it meant to be defeated like a collapsing mountain.
“Swish.”
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the void.
“Hmm?”
Frost Heavenly Venerable was slightly taken aback.
“A True Immortal?”
The other party exuded the aura of a True Immortal.
Crucially, the place where this True Immortal suddenly appeared was precisely where her cold air enveloped.
All True Immortals were frozen.
Yet, this True Immortal seemed completely unaffected by the cold air, standing quietly in the void.
Then, the other party grasped the hilt.
“Clang.”
The next moment, Ji Qing drew his sword.
He understood what was happening at a glance.
Moreover, Frost Heavenly Venerable and Thunderstorm Heavenly Venerable were too easy to recognize.
The opponent had already transformed into a Heavenly Body.
For a Heavenly Venerate, transforming into a Heavenly Body indeed greatly increased their might.
But it also came with a fatal weakness, which was the lack of flexibility in movement.
Like a sitting duck.
Frost Heavenly Venerable was in this state now.
Completely became a sitting duck.
Ji Qing unleashed a saber slash, and the Void Merging Immortal Art was also activated instantly.
Frost Heavenly Venerable didn’t even see the blade light clearly before feeling her Heavenly Body being cleaved by a terrifying power.
Even her body and soul were annihilated.
“How is this possible?”
Frost Heavenly Venerable couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
She was killed in one strike?
But that was the reality.
Ji Qing killed Frost Heavenly Venerable with one saber slash, and then continued to slash at Thunderstorm Heavenly Venerable.
In fact, Thunderstorm Heavenly Venerable had already reacted the moment Ji Qing made his move.
He gathered terrifying lightning, attempting to resist Ji Qing.
However, Ji Qing’s saber slash was too terrifying.
A saber slash comparable to an Immortal Lord’s combat power, Thunderstorm Heavenly Venerable couldn’t withstand it when facing it alone.
“Ah…”
Thunderstorm Heavenly Venerable let out a scream, and his massive Heavenly Body instantly disintegrated.
In just a few breaths, Frost Heavenly Venerable and Thunderstorm Heavenly Venerable were both dead.
At this moment, the void fell silent.
Whether it was the Heavenly Venerates of the Eternal Universe or the True Immortals on Battlefield Number 31, they all seemed disbelieving.
“Is that… Ji Qing? The strong support invited by Cangwu Immortal Lord has finally made a move?”
“Hahaha, True Immortal Ji is a direct disciple of an Immortal Venerable. He has been holding back, only waiting for the Ten Great Heavenly Venerables to appear. So that’s it…”
“True Immortal Ji doesn’t make a move, but when he does, it’s like thunder and lightning. Killing two great Heavenly Venerates consecutively is truly incredible!”
“We have all experienced how terrifying the strength of Frost Heavenly Venerable and Thunderstorm Heavenly Venerable was, yet now they can’t withstand two saber slashes from True Immortal Ji?”
“As expected of a direct disciple of an Immortal Venerable, possessing such terrifying strength. The situation on Battlefield Number 31 is about to turn around. Hahaha, kill!”
Seeing Ji Qing’s bravery, the True Immortals who were originally in despair also became spirited one by one and began to counter-attack the Heavenly Venerates of the Eternal Universe.
The situation instantly reversed!
At this moment, Ji Qing stopped making moves.
About an hour later, the True Immortals had all achieved victories, and they all looked at Ji Qing with fiery eyes.
However, Ji Qing said nothing and directly traversed space back to Cangwu Immortal Palace.
The True Immortals in Cangwu Immortal Palace had not yet received the news.
But as some True Immortals returned one after another, the news quickly spread.
Instantly, the entire Cangwu Immortal Palace was filled with laughter and joy, everyone was incredibly excited.
“Hahaha, we’ve finally waited. With True Immortal Ji here, why should we fear the Ten Great Heavenly Venerables?”
“What Ten Great Heavenly Venerables? There are only eight Heavenly Venerates left now.”
“If we kill a few more, there probably won’t be many left.”
“Previously, everyone said True Immortal Ji dared not fight. Now I see I was too shallow. True Immortal Ji is worthy of being a direct disciple of an Immortal Venerable; his strength is truly terrifying…”
Not only were the True Immortals overjoyed, but even Cangwu Immortal Lord was greatly shocked.
He even specially invited Ji Qing to the Great Hall.
“Junior Brother, you’ve truly given me a huge surprise. Thunderstorm Heavenly Venerable and Frost Heavenly Venerable were both killed by you, and instantly killed at that…”
Cangwu Immortal Lord had already understood the detailed process of the events.
He knew Ji Qing had dealt with Thunderstorm Heavenly Venerable and Frost Heavenly Venerable in two saber slashes.
This was astonishing.
Such strength far surpassed ordinary True Immortals.
Cangwu Immortal Lord finally understood why Master had such confidence in Ji Qing.
At the True Immortal level, Ji Qing truly was second to none.
“There are eight Heavenly Venerates left, Junior Brother…”
“As long as they appear, I can deal with them all!”
Ji Qing said with determination.
There was no need for modesty at such a time.
This was a battlefield; it was a matter of life and death.
“Good! I was originally worried that the Eternal Universe side would formulate some countermeasures against you, such as eight Heavenly Venerates ganging up on you…”
“Ganging up on me? That’s a good thing! If eight Heavenly Venerates truly ganged up, I would directly eliminate them.”
“If Junior Brother has such confidence, then we can create an opportunity for the eight Heavenly Venerates of the Eternal Universe… Junior Brother, you can go rest, I will handle the rest.”
Ji Qing nodded.
In the following days, on Battlefield Number 31, the True Immortals advanced with great momentum.
On the contrary, the Heavenly Venerates of the Eternal Universe were timid and afraid to act rashly.
Moreover, the remaining eight Heavenly Venerates showed no signs of movement.
But the less they moved, the more worrying it became.
They were likely plotting something.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Ji Qing received another message from Cangwu Immortal Lord.
Asking him to go to the Great Hall.
Ji Qing immediately went to the Great Hall and met Cangwu Immortal Lord.
Upon seeing Ji Qing, Cangwu Immortal Lord immediately said, “Ji Qing, Aurora Heavenly Venerable has appeared, but this is likely a trap. If you go to pursue Aurora Heavenly Venerable, it is probable that at least five Heavenly Venerates, or even all eight remaining Heavenly Venerates will appear together to kill you.”
“Eight Heavenly Venerates ganging up to kill me? Will there be any Immortal Lord level powerhouses?”
Ji Qing asked.
Although he was very confident and even possessed the combat power of an Immortal Lord, he did not want to truly face an Immortal Lord.
When it came to fighting beyond one’s level, it was best to avoid it if possible.
“Don’t worry about that, there will absolutely be no Immortal Lord level powerhouses attacking you. I am keeping an eye on those powerhouses, but I can’t keep track of all eight Heavenly Venerates.”
“Even worse, there’s an extreme possibility that the Eternal Universe has secretly dispatched more powerhouses comparable to the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates to Battlefield Number 31…”
This was an extreme possibility.
But it wasn’t impossible.
On the battlefield, who could make absolute guarantees?
“As long as no Immortal Lord level powerhouses make a move, that’s fine. Where exactly is Aurora Heavenly Venerable’s whereabouts?”
Ji Qing had already made his decision.
“Junior Brother, you must be careful!”
Ji Qing nodded. After obtaining Aurora Heavenly Venerable’s precise whereabouts, he turned and quickly flew out of Cangwu Immortal Palace.
The reason Cangwu Immortal Lord was so assured of Ji Qing’s safety was because he knew Ji Qing had a means left by their Master.
If any unexpected situation arose, with the means left by their Master, Ji Qing could be protected.
…
Aurora Heavenly Venerable was very cautious.
He knew clearly that this time, he was the “bait.”
His advantage was “speed.”
Even if he encountered Ji Qing, he believed he could escape.
As long as he could hold on for three breaths, support would arrive.
At that time, that Human Race True Immortal Ji Qing would surely die!
However, being the “bait” naturally came with risks.
If he couldn’t hold on for three breaths, then he would die.
But among so many Heavenly Venerates, he was the fastest and had the strongest self-preservation ability.
He could only be the “bait.”
Aurora Heavenly Venerable, as usual, directly charged into the Human Race True Immortals, leading many Heavenly Venerates to defeat the Human Race Heavenly Immortals.
As long as the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates made a move, the Human Race True Immortals on Battlefield Number 31 were no match.
Aurora Heavenly Venerable was very confident about this.
It was the same this time.
“Buzz.”
Suddenly, ripples of space spread outwards in all directions.
Immediately afterward, a figure appeared.
As soon as this figure appeared, its gaze immediately fell upon Aurora Heavenly Venerable.
Aurora Heavenly Venerable’s heart tightened.
He’s here!
The Human Race True Immortal Ji Qing has arrived!
Thus, without a second thought, Aurora Heavenly Venerable instantly transformed into a beam of light and fled.
Yes, Aurora Heavenly Venerable fled.
He had no intention of directly clashing with Ji Qing.
Since he was known as “Aurora Heavenly Venerable,” his speed was truly astonishing, like a stream of light.
It was almost impossible to catch up.
And with such extreme speed, even if Ji Qing’s saber could traverse space, it would be useless.
Such speed made it impossible to lock on.
However, Ji Qing did not immediately draw his sword.
Instead, he unleashed an Immortal Technique.
Chaos Immortal Trapping Art!
When the Chaos Immortal Trapping Art landed on Aurora Heavenly Venerable, his heart tightened.
He was trapped!
And at this moment, one breath had already passed.
“Clang.”
Ji Qing wasted no time.
The moment the Chaos Immortal Trapping Art trapped Aurora Heavenly Venerable, Ji Qing drew his sword.
Ji Qing’s saber slash was combined with the Void Merging Immortal Art.
Immediately, after drawing his saber, the blade light traversed space and instantly appeared before Aurora Heavenly Venerable.
“What?”
Aurora Heavenly Venerable was greatly alarmed.
This saber slash was too terrifying.
He might not be able to block it.
“Boom.”
Ji Qing’s saber slash landed on Aurora Heavenly Venerable.
It was exactly two breaths.
“Puff.”
Aurora Heavenly Venerable’s body was instantly split open.
Aurora Heavenly Venerable’s speed was extremely fast, but the moment he was trapped by the Chaos Immortal Trapping Art, his greatest advantage was gone.
He was split open by Ji Qing’s saber.
Even transforming into a Heavenly Body could not prevent his body and soul from being annihilated.
“Ah…”
Aurora Heavenly Venerable let out a scream.
Two breaths!
Merely two breaths!
He only blocked for two breaths, that was his greatest effort.
When Aurora Heavenly Venerate died, it had been exactly three breaths.
“Boom.”
A terrifying aura instantly descended.
Three breaths was precisely the time agreed upon by those Heavenly Venerates and Aurora Heavenly Venerate.
Thus, the Seven Great Heavenly Venerates descended.
These Seven Great Heavenly Venerates abided by their agreement with Aurora Heavenly Venerate.
Unfortunately, Aurora Heavenly Venerate died before even three breaths could pass.
“Aurora Heavenly Venerate!”
Upon seeing Aurora Heavenly Venerate’s death, the Seven Great Heavenly Venerates were filled with immense grief and anger.
“Boom.”
All seven Great Heavenly Venerates, without exception, manifested their Heavenly Bodies.
Although manifesting Heavenly Bodies had its drawbacks.
Undoubtedly, once a Heavenly Body was manifested, it represented the Heavenly Venerates’ strongest form.
Especially as the Seven Great Heavenly Venerates surrounded Ji Qing.
After manifesting their Heavenly Bodies, the Heavenly Venerates poured all their Heavenly Body’s power into one strike.
This was an incredibly terrifying attack.
The combined might of the Seven Great Heavenly Venerates could even rival an Immortal Lord.
With such a terrifying attack, Ji Qing had no way to dodge.
“Hum.”
The Five Elements Undying Immortal Robe on Ji Qing’s body instantly emitted a five-colored glow.
The Power of the Five Elements flowed endlessly, resisting the attack of the Seven Great Heavenly Venerates.
Simultaneously, Ji Qing also made his move.
He instantly drew his sword.
“Clang.”
Ji Qing unleashed a saber slash.
One couldn’t even see the blade light.
Then came saber slash after saber slash.
Ji Qing drew his sword a full seven times.
That resulted in seven blade lights traversing the void, directly arriving before the Seven Great Heavenly Venerates.
Even facing Heavenly Bodies, Ji Qing’s seven blade lights fiercely slashed down.
“Rumble.”
The Heavenly Bodies of the Seven Great Heavenly Venerates were indeed powerful.
But Ji Qing’s blade lights were even stronger.
Because this was the combat power of a true Immortal Lord.
These seven saber slashes were equivalent to seven slashes unleashed by an Immortal Lord.
The Seven Great Heavenly Venerates could contend against an Immortal Lord in a combined effort.
But if they faced Immortal Lord combat power one-on-one, they would have only one outcome.
“Crack.”
The Heavenly Bodies shattered.
The Heavenly Bodies of the Seven Great Heavenly Venerates were, almost at the same moment, split open by Ji Qing’s blade lights.
Without any flourish.
Nor any surprise.
The Seven Great Heavenly Venerates are dead!
The surroundings instantly fell silent.
Whether it was the Heavenly Venerates of the Eternal Universe or the True Immortals of the Immortal Realm.
At this moment, they all stared wide-eyed at the scene in the void, as if disbelieving.
What had they seen?
The Seven Great Heavenly Venerates jointly attacking the Human Race’s True Immortal, Ji Qing.
The result?
They were all simultaneously killed by Ji Qing’s seven saber slashes.
These were the Seven Great Heavenly Venerates.
The cream of the crop among Heavenly Venerates.
And yet, they were all dead?
If we add Aurora Heavenly Venerate, whom Ji Qing killed, and the two Heavenly Venerates killed before.
The Ten Great Heavenly Venerates, renowned on Battlefield Number 31, were all annihilated by Ji Qing alone, completely wiped out!
“Escape!”
“Is this Ji Qing still a True Immortal? All Ten Great Heavenly Venerates died by his hand; perhaps even Immortal Lords in the Immortal Realm are no match for him.”
“At the True Immortal level, Ji Qing is likely an invincible existence…”
The Heavenly Venerates fled quickly.
But Ji Qing’s saber was faster.
Ji Qing went on a killing spree this time.
Since all Ten Great Heavenly Venerates were dead anyway.
He no longer needed to hold back.
Naturally, he would kill as many Heavenly Venerates as appeared, with all his might.
In just a few breaths, the void gradually quieted down.
This time, every Heavenly Venerate that appeared escaped no one, all were slain!
All the True Immortals looked at Ji Qing with fervent admiration.
Ji Qing did not linger.
Who knew what might happen?
What if the powerhouses of the Eternal Universe made a desperate move?
Therefore, Ji Qing immediately traversed the void and returned directly to Cangwu Immortal Palace.
After all, he had killed the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates this time.
He had basically cleared the obstacles on Battlefield Number 31.
The rest could be left to the True Immortals on Battlefield Number 31.
However, the moment Ji Qing returned to Cangwu Immortal Palace, countless True Immortals turned their gaze upon him.
News spread very quickly this time.
They all knew of Ji Qing’s great feat.
Destroying eight Great Heavenly Venerates alone.
Coupled with the two Heavenly Venerates killed previously, all Ten Great Heavenly Venerates were annihilated by Ji Qing alone.
What a magnificent feat this was!
A feat that even Cangwu Immortal Lord had not been able to accomplish.
After all, although Cangwu Immortal Lord was powerful, as soon as he interfered in battles at the True Immortal level, he would be immediately restrained by the powerhouses of the Eternal Universe.
This allowed the Ten Great Heavenly Venerates to run rampant on Battlefield Number 31.
But now, they were all dead!
Dead by Ji Qing’s hand alone.
“Hahaha, Junior Brother, you did wonderfully! You’ve given me a great gift!”
Cangwu Immortal Lord flew out from the Great Hall of the Immortal Palace.
His face was filled with surprise and delight.
He knew Ji Qing was powerful, but he hadn’t expected him to be this powerful?
Eight Great Heavenly Venerates attacked, and Ji Qing annihilated them all single-handedly.
Since Ji Qing arrived at Battlefield Number 31, he had rapidly reversed the tide of the battle.
By now, True Immortals held an absolute advantage on Battlefield Number 31.
The Eternal Universe side could only adopt a defensive stance!
This was something even he, a dignified Immortal Lord, could not achieve.
But Ji Qing had achieved it!
How could Cangwu Immortal Lord not be overjoyed?
“Senior Brother, when can we counterattack into the Eternal Universe?”
Ji Qing suddenly asked.
He wanted to go to the Eternal Universe.
After all, his curse clone needed to reach the Eternal Universe to break through to Heavenly Venerate.
Moreover, Ji Qing had a plan in mind.
The curse clone could act independently.
Why not take this opportunity to infiltrate the Eternal Universe?
After all, Ji Qing had cut out three corpses.
The curse clone only possessed the cultivation system of the Eternal Universe.
There were no traces of Immortal Realm cultivation whatsoever.
Once it infiltrated the Eternal Universe, it would be a genuine cultivator of the Eternal Universe.
Who could discover the curse clone’s secret?
“Counterattack the Eternal Universe? Soon. With your help, completely defeating the Eternal Universe forces on Battlefield Number 31 is just around the corner!”
Cangwu Immortal Lord said with conviction.
However, this was a plan for Immortal Lords.
Cangwu Immortal Lord still had to consult with several other Immortal Lords.
In the days that followed, the situation on Battlefield Number 31 reversed.
Led by Cangwu Immortal Lord and other Immortal Lords, the Eternal Universe forces on Battlefield Number 31 disintegrated and were routed.
Battlefield Number 31 also became a breakthrough point.
The Eternal Universe’s forces had retreated back into the Eternal Universe.
And Ji Qing finally saw the true Eternal Universe for the first time!
“This is the Eternal Universe?”
Ji Qing beheld the magnificent scene before him.
A vast, deep, and mysterious aura washed over him.
He saw a gigantic “Milky Way.”
It was densely packed with various stars.
However, the void of the Immortal Realm was also intertwined with it.
“Ji Qing, you should know that the Immortal Realm Universe and the Eternal Universe are actually two universes. Now that these two universes are approaching each other and intertwining, they have formed the wonder you see before you, possessing both Immortal Realm energy and the marvels of the Eternal Universe. As long as you pass through here, you will reach the Eternal Universe.”
Ji Qing nodded.
“Battlefield Number 31 is adjacent to the Eternal Universe, but can we directly charge into the Eternal Universe?”
Ji Qing asked.
“Why not? The Eternal Universe is not some dragon’s pool or tiger’s den; we have infiltrated it more than once!”
Cangwu Immortal Lord laughed heartily.
He immediately took the lead, charging towards the Eternal Universe.
The cultivators of the Eternal Universe retreated steadily, and even True Immortals bravely fought their way into the Eternal Universe.
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing no longer hesitated and took a step forward.
He arrived within the Eternal Universe.
Ji Qing discovered that there was no Immortal Spiritual Energy in the Eternal Universe, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable all over.
This was normal.
After all, these were two completely different universes.
There was no Immortal Spiritual Energy in the Eternal Universe.
However, it had little effect on True Immortals.
By the True Immortal stage, having condensed an Immortal Spirit Body, one did not necessarily require Immortal Spiritual Energy.
The Immortal Spirit Body was highly adaptable.
Even strange energies could be converted into Immortal Spiritual Energy.
Therefore, even if True Immortals ventured deep into the Eternal Universe, their combat ability would not be significantly affected.
It was the same for Eternal Universe cultivators entering the Immortal Realm; they were also unaffected.
Immortal Realm cultivators were not that fragile.
Losing Immortal Spiritual Energy meant losing combat power.
It was simply not possible.
Even at the Immortal Venerable level, a wisp of the Power of the Great Dao is introduced into the body.
With the Power of the Great Dao, any power or rules between heaven and earth that conform to the Great Dao can be used by oneself.
Unless there is no such Great Dao in the universe.
But it’s impossible.
The so-called Great Dao is actually the essence of the universe’s operation.
Every universe is the same.
Even if there are slight differences, they are not differences at the level of the Great Dao.
Of course, cultivators in the Eternal Universe are also the same; upon entering the Immortal Realm, they can unleash terrifying power.
However, Ji Qing could sense that his Curse Clone seemed more adapted to the Eternal Universe.
After all, the Curse Clone was entirely based on the cultivation system of the Eternal Universe.
“I wonder if the Spiritual Imprint can merge in the Eternal Universe?”
A thought arose in Ji Qing’s mind.
If the Spiritual Imprint could also merge with the Eternal Universe, then Ji Qing would be immortal in the Eternal Universe.
However, this step should be taken by the Curse Clone.
After all, Ji Qing’s plan was for the Curse Clone to stay in the Eternal Universe for a long time.
To cultivate to the highest realm in the Eternal Universe.
Moreover, they could also exchange resources.
If there were any good things, they could be shared between Ji Qing.
With the power of two universes, Ji Qing could be supported in his cultivation.
Thus, Ji Qing quietly moved away from Battlefield Number 31.
He released his Curse Clone.
“Whoosh.”
The Curse Clone was released, sensing the familiar aura of the Eternal Universe, and became excited all over.
“Thank you, main body.”
“You are too kind, Fellow Daoist. I hope you will be cautious in the Eternal Universe and also try to accumulate the Fortune of the Eternal Universe. When the opportunity arises, try to integrate the Spiritual Imprint into the Eternal Universe and thus become immortal.”
“But before that, you are not yet immortal, so you must be careful not to die. If you die, it will be very troublesome, and you might truly die. I may not be able to conceive another Three Corpses body in the Immortal Realm.”
“Main body, rest assured, I will be cautious and will not die so easily.”
This move by Ji Qing was actually a bit risky.
If the Curse Clone died, he would not be able to recreate it.
After all, the Spiritual Imprint could only recreate Ji Qing himself.
The Curse Clone had already separated from Ji Qing.
It no longer belonged to Ji Qing himself.
The Curse Clone was relatively independent, and once it died, it would truly be dead.
That is why Ji Qing cautioned the Curse Clone to be extremely careful and to preserve its life at all costs before the Spiritual Imprint merged with the Eternal Universe.
As for the issue of the Curse Clone’s betrayal.
Ji Qing did not need to discuss it at all.
Because the Three Corpses Fruit used the Method of Slaying Three Corpses.
In essence, the Curse Clone was Ji Qing himself.
There was no such thing as betrayal.
“Then I wish you a smooth journey, Fellow Daoist!”
The Curse Clone immediately turned and instantly flew into the depths of the Eternal Universe.
From now on, the Curse Clone would venture alone in the Eternal Universe.
What achievements it could reach, Ji Qing did not know.
Ji Qing did not linger and quickly returned to Battlefield Number 31.
Reinforcements from the Eternal Universe had arrived.
Cangwu Immortal Lord also retreated steadily, leading his men back to Battlefield Number 31.
However, the Eternal Universe side was completely defeated, and thus Battlefield Number 31 ceased to exist.
“Junior Brother, Battlefield Number 31 has achieved a great victory, and your Battle Merit is considerable. What do you want to exchange for? Even if your Battle Merit is not enough, I can help you exchange for it.”
Cangwu Immortal Lord said generously.
Ji Qing had helped him greatly this time.
He was the Immortal Lord stationed at Battlefield Number 31.
Now that Battlefield Number 31 no longer existed and he had achieved a great victory, the rewards were unimaginably vast.
He could even attempt to reach the Immortal Venerable realm.
“Are there any treasures that can accelerate the improvement of the Immortal Spirit Body?”
Ji Qing did not stand on ceremony and stated his needs.
What he lacked now was the improvement of his Immortal Spirit Body.
“Of course there are!”
“I heard you went to the Chaos Space? The quota to go to the Chaos Space is very rare. In the Chaos Space, there is a Supreme Treasure called the Chaos Red Lotus. If you have the Chaos Red Lotus, condensing your Immortal Spirit Body will not be difficult at all.”
“The Chaos Red Lotus cannot be exchanged, of course, but you can exchange for a sixth-grade Precious Lotus at the True Immortal level, a twelfth-grade Precious Lotus at the Immortal Lord level, and even a twenty-fourth-grade Precious Lotus at the Immortal Venerable level. However, Senior Brother will grit his teeth and exchange the twelfth-grade Precious Lotus at the Immortal Lord level for you. This is refined in imitation of the Chaos Red Lotus, and besides accelerating the condensation of the Immortal Spirit Body, it also possesses various incredible abilities.”
This time, Cangwu Immortal Lord had indeed spared no expense.
He truly felt indebted to Ji Qing.
Even with Ji Qing’s merit, his Battle Merit was far from enough to exchange for an Immortal Lord-grade Immortal Treasure.
But Cangwu Immortal Lord exchanged for the twelfth-grade Precious Lotus, using Cangwu Immortal Lord’s own Battle Merit.
However, Ji Qing did not refuse.
“Then thank you, Senior Brother.”
Soon, the twelfth-grade Precious Lotus was delivered.
It was radiant and filled with ethereal Immortal Qi.
Ji Qing immediately accepted it, and after a brief cảm thụ, he was smitten with it.
This was an Immortal Lord-grade Immortal Treasure.
And it was a twelfth-grade Precious Lotus.
Although it was a replica of the Chaos Red Lotus, it was still an invaluable Supreme Treasure for Ji Qing at the moment.
“Haha, I’m glad Junior Brother likes it. Please give my regards to Master when you return.”
“Senior Brother, I bid farewell.”
Thus, Ji Qing turned and left Cangwu Immortal Palace.
He was someone personally invited by Cangwu Immortal Lord to “support,” not someone from the front lines.
Therefore, Ji Qing could leave at any time.
He didn’t need to adhere to the rules of the front lines.
Ji Qing quickly shuttled back to Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
He immediately went to see his Master.
Informing him of the situation on the battlefield.
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable nodded upon hearing this and said, “Ji Qing, you have done very well. This time, your Senior Brother owes you a great favor. Your assistance in completely defeating the Eternal Universe forces on Battlefield Number 31 is a massive contribution to him, allowing him to use this Battle Merit to attempt to reach the Immortal Venerable realm.”
“Master, what is Senior Brother’s success rate in attempting to reach the Immortal Venerable realm?”
Ji Qing couldn’t help but ask.
“What is the success rate?”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable shook her head and said, “Reaching the Immortal Venerable realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Whether one’s Immortal Spirit Body can withstand the introduction of a wisp of the Power of the Great Dao is still uncertain. Even I had a near-death experience back then before I managed to succeed. Your Senior Brother might have a one or two percent chance.”
“One or two percent…”
Ji Qing understood that this was indeed a perilous undertaking.
A one or two percent chance to attempt to reach the Immortal Venerable realm was purely a gamble.
But that was already the limit of what Senior Brother could achieve.
He could no longer increase his chances.
Only one or two percent.
Moreover, most Immortal Lords did not even have a sliver of hope.
Let alone a one or two percent chance.
This was already considered a relatively high probability.
“Ji Qing, your Senior Brother’s foundation is very stable, but he is still far behind you. It is said that if a Mortal Immortal cultivates to Immortal Lord Perfection, their hope of achieving Immortal Venerable is as high as thirty to fifty percent!”
Ji Qing’s heart trembled.
Thirty to fifty percent?
Compared to Senior Brother’s arduous efforts, he only had a one or two percent chance.
The thirty to fifty percent chance for a Mortal Immortal was indeed too high.
No wonder Mortal Immortals were the Head of the Five Immortals.
Truly lived up to their reputation!
However, thirty to fifty percent?
This was not Ji Qing’s goal!
Ji Qing hoped he could have a ninety or even a hundred percent chance of becoming an Immortal Venerable!
