Chapter 233: Ji Qing Annihilates Nine Great Sages In One Battle! Instantly Becomes “old Ancestor Ji”, Prestige Shakes Black Ruins!
Nine Great Demon Sages simultaneously unleashed terrifying prestige, which swept towards the Demon Extermination Alliance’s Third Outpost.
Instantly, the expressions of the Human Race cultivators at the Demon Extermination Alliance’s Third Outpost all changed.
Many people’s hearts sank.
They had come to the Jade Immortal Demon Domain mentally prepared for death.
But that should have been in an evenly matched battle, perishing while fighting demons.
Now, facing nine Great Demon Sages, to perish so muddled and unclear, they were unwilling!
“Great Demon Emperor Gu Xi… the dignified Great Demon Emperor actually issued a decree?”
“Great Demon Emperor Gu Xi, I seem to have heard of him. It is said that his true form is a three-legged Golden Crow, also known as the Great Sun Divine Bird. He is a very powerful Great Demon Emperor in the Demon Country, and the Jade Immortal Demon Domain is one of the territories Gu Xi is responsible for.”
“These nine Great Demon Sages are all under Great Demon Emperor Gu Xi. The fact that he can dispatch nine Great Demon Sages shows that Great Demon Emperor Gu Xi is truly enraged. Hahaha, to be able to anger a Great Demon Emperor, Senior Ji must have really killed a lot of demons!”
“If we die today, the Human Race will also send Saint Venerables. The Third Outpost may be destroyed, but the Demon Extermination Alliance will have countless other outposts in the Jade Immortal Demon Domain in the future!”
Seeing the righteous indignation of the Human Race cultivators within the Third Outpost, the nine Great Demon Sages disdained them and sneered, “Ant-like Human Race cultivators dare to defy the Great Demon Emperor’s decree?”
“Attack!”
Thus, the nine Great Demon Sages immediately attacked.
They all revealed their true demon forms and attacked the Third Outpost.
The Demon Extermination Alliance’s Third Outpost was indeed very strong.
It was difficult for ordinary Great Demon Sage levels to break through.
But now, facing nine Great Demon Sages, no matter how strong the Third Outpost’s defenses were, it was mostly unable to withstand the attacks of the nine Great Demon Sages.
Just then, a figure stepped out of the Third Outpost and appeared in the Black Ruins.
He stood in confrontation with the nine Great Demon Sages from a distance.
“Ji Qing… you finally came out!”
The eyes of the nine Great Demon Sages narrowed slightly.
They had come prepared this time and recognized Ji Qing at a glance.
The Human Race cultivators inside the Third Outpost also changed their expressions.
Why did Ji Qing leave the Third Outpost alone?
Facing nine Great Demon Sages, it was too dangerous!
“Yes, I came out.”
Ji Qing walked step by step, as if strolling in a leisurely manner, very calmly.
It was as if he was not facing nine Great Demon Sages, but nine ordinary demons. Not a trace of urgency could be seen on Ji Qing’s face.
“A Great Demon Emperor’s decree?”
“Unfortunately, this is the Human Race, not the Demon Country! A Great Demon Emperor’s decree cannot reach my Human Race!”
Ji Qing’s voice was calm.
However, the content of his words caused the expressions of the nine Great Demon Sages to change.
“Disrespecting the Great Demon Emperor is punishable by death!”
The nine Great Demon Sages no longer bothered to waste words with Ji Qing.
In an instant, they attacked fiercely.
In fact, while speaking, the nine Great Demon Sages were secretly preparing.
They knew very well that Ji Qing was not an ordinary Human Race cultivator.
He was the foremost Heavenly Talent in the Black Ruins throughout history!
Including in the Demon Country!
Even though they, the nine Great Demon Sages, had a clear advantage in strength, to kill Ji Qing, they had to unleash their strongest power without reservation.
Therefore, the true forms revealed by the nine Great Demon Sages all unleashed their innate divine abilities simultaneously and attacked at the same time.
“Rumble.”
The combined strike of the nine Great Demon Sages targeted Ji Qing.
The prestige was simply earth-shattering.
Not only did the void shatter, but it even stirred up a void storm.
Terrifying pressure also fell upon Ji Qing.
Ji Qing stood quietly in the void.
The next moment, a ten-thousand-zhang tall Ancestor God True Body appeared behind Ji Qing.
Simultaneously, Ji Qing’s body instantly expanded to twenty zhang.
The Grotto-Heaven Small Realm’s augmentation.
Dharma Aspects such as the Five Layered Heavenly Domain, Myriad Fusion Meridian, and Blood Fiend Nether Sea were all unleashed.
And within these Dharma Aspects were carried Supreme Laws, one after another.
First was the Law of Life, augmented onto the Divine Dragon Hegemonic Body.
Then came the Thick Earth Law, firmly protecting Ji Qing’s body.
Following that were the Destruction Law, Law of Death, Heavenly Fire Law, Yin Fire Law, and so on.
With each additional Law on Ji Qing, his aura surged.
A total of eight Supreme Laws were augmented onto Ji Qing.
At this moment, Ji Qing was simply unimaginably powerful.
He punched out directly.
He met the attack of the nine Great Demon Sages head-on.
Then…
“Boom.”
Ji Qing’s various Supreme Laws were like a rampaging force, instantly crushing the nine Great Demon Sages.
These Great Demon Sages could hardly believe their eyes.
Their combined full-power attack, no one held back.
The result was a complete rout?
They couldn’t resist!
They truly couldn’t resist!
“How is this possible?”
“Not long ago, you could only barely kill the Bull Demon Great Sage!”
“We have seven-tribulation Great Sages. Even a ninth-level Saint Venerable would struggle to withstand our combined attack of nine Great Sages. How can you be so strong?”
“This is… eight Supreme Laws?!”
The nine Great Demon Sages were immensely shocked.
Similarly, the Human Race cultivators were also shocked.
They knew how many Supreme Laws Ji Qing had mastered.
But now?
Ji Qing had clearly become stronger.
He had gained several more Laws.
And they were all Supreme Laws.
It was extremely difficult for them to master Superior Laws and Top-tier Laws.
Even if they sensed them, they couldn’t master them, and their Dharma Aspects couldn’t bear them.
But Ji Qing?
One Dharma Aspect could carry two Supreme Laws, which was simply unbelievable.
Now, he had eight Supreme Laws.
These eight Supreme Laws, gathered on one person, allowed Ji Qing’s strength to soar to unimaginable heights.
Even though Ji Qing was still a Nirvana Realm Great Expert, he had surpassed countless Great Demon Sages.
Therefore, when Ji Qing unleashed eight Supreme Laws, there was no longer any suspense regarding the outcome.
The nine Great Demon Sages were defeated in one strike!
And they were instantly annihilated by Ji Qing’s eight Supreme Laws.
Dead!
The nine Great Demon Sages perished just like that.
Ji Qing’s Origin Points also surged instantly.
Among these nine Great Demon Sages, two were seven-tribulation Great Sages, and the rest were above four-tribulation Great Sages.
Therefore, the nine Great Demon Sages provided Ji Qing with 480 billion Origin Points.
Ji Qing’s Origin Points now surged to 871 billion Origin Points.
With another 30 billion Origin Points, Ji Qing would be able to layer his Secret Technique and sense three Supreme Laws.
This time was a great harvest.
Not only a large amount of Origin Points, but also a large amount of Fortune rolling in.
Furthermore, it could be foreseen how terrifying the Fortune would be once the news of this battle spread?
It was truly killing two birds with one stone!
These nine Great Demon Sages were welcome!
However, this was not enough.
Ji Qing remembered that there were two other demon outposts in the Jade Immortal Demon Domain that he had not destroyed due to insufficient strength at the time.
But now, with his strength greatly increased, Ji Qing felt it was time to destroy those two demon outposts.
“I demand the destruction of the last two demon outposts in the Jade Immortal Demon Domain!”
“From today onwards, the Jade Immortal Demon Domain will completely become Human Race Territory!”
Ji Qing’s voice reached the Third Outpost.
Following that, Ji Qing entered a spatial passage and headed towards the two demon outposts.
Inside the Third Outpost, all the cultivators were stirred and extremely excited.
What had they seen?
Those were nine Great Demon Sages!
As a result, Ji Qing annihilated them all!
What kind of demeanor was this?
What kind of strength?
They no longer dared to imagine.
Moreover, Ji Qing was going to destroy the remaining two demon outposts, completely clearing the Jade Immortal Demon Domain of demons and making it completely human territory!
This was something countless cultivators in the Demon Extermination Alliance had dreamed of.
As a result, Ji Qing had accomplished it!
“Hahaha, I never expected that one day, we would be able to witness a peerlessly talented Human Race powerhouse cleanse the Jade Immortal Demon Domain with our own eyes!”
“This is a joy for our Human Race!”
“Heavenly Talents like Senior Ji are the pride of our Human Race!”
Countless cultivators rejoiced and were inspired.
Ji Qing arrived outside another demon outpost. This time, with eight Supreme Laws unleashed, there were no more surprises, and the demon territory was destroyed.
The same was true for the remaining demon outpost.
The two demon outposts provided Ji Qing with another 100 billion Origin Points.
Ji Qing’s Origin Points were already approaching the trillion mark!
Nearly a trillion Origin Points were enough for Ji Qing to sense three Supreme Laws.
For Ji Qing, this was already sufficient!
When Ji Qing returned to the Third Outpost, he found that several Saint Venerables had already arrived.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, thank you for your great contribution to the Demon Extermination Alliance in completely clearing out the demon outposts in the Jade Immortal Demon Domain. Leave the rest to us; we will guard the Jade Immortal Demon Domain. As for you, Fellow Daoist, it’s best to return to the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory first, otherwise, we are truly worried that Great Demon Emperor Gu Xi might lash out in desperation and harm you.”
A Saint Venerable said earnestly.
“The Great Demon Emperor dares to act?”
Ji Qing asked.
“That… although the probability is very low, it cannot be ruled out. Moreover, we have already recovered the Jade Immortal Demon Domain, and there is no need to constantly provoke Great Demon Emperor Gu Xi.”
Ji Qing understood what the other party meant.
As long as he remained in the Jade Immortal Demon Domain, he would “provoke” Great Demon Emperor Gu Xi.
If he temporarily returned to the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, Great Demon Emperor Gu Xi would be helpless.
At most, he would dispatch some more demons to the Jade Immortal Demon Domain.
But with the demon outposts uprooted by Ji Qing, it would not be so easy to establish new ones.
After all, so many Saint Venerables were not to be trifled with.
Over time, with no trace of demons left in the Jade Immortal Demon Domain, it would naturally and completely become Human Race Territory, with demons becoming extinct.
Even Great Demon Emperor Gu Xi would slowly accept the reality.
But if Ji Qing were to remain in the Jade Immortal Demon Domain, it might truly lead to a “Great Emperor War” between a Great Demon Emperor and a Great Emperor.
That would be terrifying.
The Jade Immortal Demon Domain would likely be shattered, resulting in mutual destruction.
“I understand.”
Ji Qing nodded.
In any case, his objective for coming to the Jade Immortal Demon Domain had been achieved.
With a large amount of Origin Points obtained, he could return to the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory and calmly comprehend Supreme Laws.
Ji Qing glanced at Zhou Zhuang, Chenxu, Fang Yun, and the others again.
“Feel free to visit the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory when you have time.”
“Senior Ji, take care!”
Afterward, under everyone’s gaze, Ji Qing entered the spatial passage and disappeared from sight.
However, although Ji Qing left, the deeds of him annihilating nine Demon Great Sages in one battle, clearing the Jade Immortal Demon Domain, and single-handedly turning the Jade Immortal Demon Domain into the Human Domain quickly spread throughout the Black Ruins.
This news completely shook the Black Ruins and caused Ji Qing’s fortune to surge once more.
……
“Whoosh.”
Outside the Purgatory Realm, Ji Qing had returned.
He stepped into the Purgatory Realm and returned to his Cave Dwelling on the Ninth Peak.
“Your Highness, you’ve finally returned.”
Can Xiu Venerable breathed a sigh of relief.
He had not yet received news of Ji Qing’s exploits in the Jade Immortal Demon Domain.
Seeing Ji Qing return safely, he was finally completely at ease.
However, Ji Qing did not see Yunmeng Goddess or Baoyue.
Can Xiu Venerable said that the two had gone to the Black Ruins for experience.
Ji Qing was a little surprised.
Yunmeng Goddess and Baoyue had always been at odds with each other, so why would they go for experience together?
Moreover, Yunmeng Goddess was from the Giant Spirit God Clan.
Without Giant Spirit Essence Blood, she could not improve quickly; she could only rely on the accumulation of time, and when the time came, she would naturally improve.
There was no need to go for experience.
“I need to go into seclusion. No one is allowed to disturb me.”
Ji Qing commanded.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Ji Qing entered a Secret Chamber.
In truth, his trip to the Jade Immortal Demon Domain had only been about ten months.
Less than a year.
There was still a long time until the five-year mark.
Of Ji Qing’s Five Layered Heavenly Domain, three of the heavenly domains already bore Supreme Laws.
Now, only the Wood Attribute Supreme Law and the Gold Attribute Supreme Law were missing.
Ji Qing immediately began cultivating Wood Attribute Law Secret Techniques.
In just three months, Ji Qing cultivated a thousand Wood Attribute Law Secret Techniques and successfully sensed the Wood Attribute Supreme Law.
“This is… the Suppressing Wood Law!”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
The Suppressing Wood Law, this was extremely rare.
This kind of Supreme Law could suppress the void and stabilize space.
With the Suppressing Wood Law, one could naturally confine space and also stabilize the Five Layered Heavenly Domain. Once the Five Elements reached Perfection, the Five Layered Heavenly Domain would also become extremely stable due to the Suppressing Wood Law.
“Boom.”
Ji Qing began to draw down the power of the Suppressing Wood Law.
One portion, three portions, five portions, eight portions, ten portions…
Ji Qing and the Suppressing Wood Law had an unexpectedly high Compatibility.
He actually bore a full fifteen portions of Suppressing Wood Law Power.
This was the same as the Heavy Water Law Power.
Both were fifteen portions!
Ji Qing was very satisfied.
The powers of four Five Elements Laws were all gathered; only the Gold Attribute Supreme Law was missing.
Ji Qing immediately began cultivating Gold Attribute Law Secret Techniques.
As a result, this cultivation brought a small problem.
The Gold Attribute could be said to be Ji Qing’s most unfamiliar Five Elements Law, with the lowest level of attainment.
Ji Qing needed to spend a longer time to cultivate a Gold Attribute Secret Technique to the beginner level.
In this way, with a thousand Gold Attribute Secret Techniques stacked together, it would probably take a very long time.
Ji Qing could only speed up as much as possible.
One year, two years, three years…
It took Ji Qing a full three years to cultivate a thousand Gold Attribute Law Secret Techniques, and only then did he sense the Gold Attribute Supreme Law.
“This is… the Geng Gold Law! The power of this law can tear through everything, pierce through everything, and is extremely sharp…”
Ji Qing began to summon the Geng Gold Law.
This time, the effect was only mediocre.
He only bore eleven portions of Geng Gold Law Power.
However, it was enough.
Ji Qing’s heart was now filled with excitement and anticipation.
After the last portion of Geng Gold Law Power merged into the Five Layered Heavenly Domain.
“Buzz.”
The Five Layered Heavenly Domain began to vibrate violently.
At this moment, the Five Elements within the Five Layered Heavenly Domain reached Perfection, mutually generating and complementing each other, causing the Five Layered Heavenly Domain to instantly become colorful.
But Ji Qing could sense what terrifying Power was contained within this colorful Five Layered Heavenly Domain.
If Ji Qing had possessed the Five Layered Heavenly Domain bearing the Five Elements Supreme Law when he was in the Jade Immortal Demon Domain.
Then, even when facing the nine Demon Great Sages, Ji Qing wouldn’t have had to do anything; he could have easily suppressed them just by releasing his Five Layered Heavenly Domain.
“Five Layered Heavenly Domain… I still underestimated the Change produced by the fusion of the Five Elements Supreme Law…”
A sharp light flashed in Ji Qing’s eyes.
This was an unexpected joy.
Ji Qing now possessed ten Supreme Laws.
His Strength was incredibly strong.
However, Ji Qing’s Divine Dragon Hegemonic Body only bore the Law of Life, just one Supreme Law.
He could still bear a second Supreme Law.
Ji Qing now also had time.
After all, it had only been four years.
He still had time to cultivate Law Secret Techniques.
So, which Supreme Law was most suitable for his Divine Dragon Hegemonic Body?
He still needed to select a general range.
Only then could he better cultivate Law Secret Techniques.
And they all had to have at least a thousand Law Secret Techniques.
They had to be the most common, most widely cultivated Law Secret Techniques.
Ji Qing thought for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and finally chose Space Law Secret Techniques.
Space, the most mysterious.
Perhaps there weren’t a thousand Space Law Secret Techniques.
But it didn’t matter; he would cultivate as many as he could.
He would make up for it by cultivating other Law Secret Techniques later.
Whether he could sense a Space-type Supreme Law in the end would depend on Luck.
For some mixed Law Secret Techniques, sensing a particular Supreme Law would purely depend on Luck.
Ji Qing was just giving it a try.
Ji Qing needed to spend a certain amount of time to reach the beginner level in Space Law Secret Techniques.
One month, two months, three months, four months, five months…
Finally, in half a year, Ji Qing managed to gather a thousand Secret Techniques.
“Boom.”
Ji Qing sensed a brand new Supreme Law.
Hanging high in the void.
Ji Qing sensed it very clearly.
“This is… the Void Evasion Law!”
“It’s not a pure Void Law, merely the Void Evasion Law. Its function is to traverse space faster and more accurately. As long as there is space, one cannot seal my spatial traversal, even if sealed by a Great Formation.”
“This is a pure escape Law…”
A strange expression appeared on Ji Qing’s face.
This Void Evasion Law had little offensive power but was a great helper for escaping.
With this Void Evasion Law, it would be difficult for Ji Qing to die in the Black Ruins if he wanted to.
In fact, Ji Qing didn’t really need Supreme Laws for life-saving purposes like the Void Evasion Law.
But since he had already sensed it, he didn’t have time to change it now.
“Fine, it will be you.”
Ji Qing immediately began to draw down the Void Evasion Law and merge it with his Divine Dragon Hegemonic Body.
Between the two, there was actually not much Compatibility.
One portion, three portions, five portions, eight portions…
As expected, Ji Qing’s Void Evasion Law only drew down eight portions.
It was the least amount of Law Power drawn down among all of Ji Qing’s Supreme Laws.
The Divine Dragon Hegemonic Body bore eight portions of Void Evasion Law Power.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing suddenly opened his eyes.
“My four Dharma Aspects have already borne the limit; they can no longer bear any other Supreme Law!”
Ji Qing had now borne a total of eleven Supreme Laws.
How terrifying was this?
In the Black Ruins, no one had ever been able to possess eleven Supreme Laws.
Ji Qing was the first in the history of the Black Ruins!
And he was likely to be the only one forever!
Ji Qing calculated the time; it had been about four years and seven months since he left the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
The five-year mark was not far away.
The estimation that the Thirteen Lineage Masters could hold on for five years was just an estimate.
Perhaps they wouldn’t be able to hold on for five years.
Or perhaps they could hold on for more than five years.
This was an estimated number; no one could be certain.
Therefore, the sooner the better, to guard against any unforeseen circumstances!
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing left his Cave Dwelling.
“Changfeng Old Ancestor.”
Ji Qing went to meet Changfeng Old Ancestor.
Changfeng Old Ancestor immediately stood up and said, “Fellow Daoist Ji, you shouldn’t be so formal! With your current Strength, we can address each other as fellow Daoists. This is also the rule of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.”
Ji Qing thought for a moment and immediately nodded, saying, “Fellow Daoist Changfeng!”
In the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, there were generally no master-disciple relationships.
Once one’s Strength reached a certain level, anyone could be an Old Ancestor.
It wasn’t about seniority.
The news of Ji Qing annihilating nine Demon Great Sages in one battle had already returned to the Purgatory Realm, which greatly shocked all Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
If the Bull Demon Great Sage were added.
Ji Qing had annihilated ten Demon Great Sages in one battle.
Those were Demon Great Sages.
They could directly contend with Human Race Sacred Venerable Old Ancestors.
Previously, it was only speculated that Ji Qing might have Sacred Venerable-level combat power.
Even though Changfeng Old Ancestor had sparred with Ji Qing, he only thought that Ji Qing’s Strength was very high and that he could defeat him, but killing him wouldn’t be that easy.
But now, the impressive battle record of ten Demon Great Sages left everyone unable to doubt Ji Qing.
The current Ji Qing was the “Old Ancestor” of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, are you preparing to go to the Nirvana Forbidden Zone?”
“Yes.”
“With your Strength, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem. However, if you encounter any danger, prioritize your own safety above all else!”
Ji Qing nodded.
He then traversed space and headed straight for the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing walked out of the void.
This time, he did not disguise himself.
Because there was no longer any need.
With his current strength, there was nothing to fear.
Outside the Nirvana Forbidden Zone, there were indeed many Great Experts.
When they saw Ji Qing, these Great Experts’ pupils constricted sharply, and their expressions changed drastically.
“It’s Ji Qing of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory…”
“What Ji Qing, that’s Old Ancestor Ji!”
“Yes, Old Ancestor Ji, the esteemed Saint Venerable of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory…”
“It is said that Old Ancestor Ji annihilated nine Great Demon Sages in a battle in the Jade Immortal Demon Domain and even reclaimed the Jade Immortal Demon Domain, making it our Human Territory. He truly had an imposing presence!”
“Old Ancestor Ji’s cultivation is said to be only in the Nirvana Realm, but his combat power is truly terrifying… This time, Old Ancestor Ji is likely going to the Nirvana Forbidden Zone to rescue the Lineage Masters of the Thirteen Meridians, right?”
In fact, many people had already guessed Ji Qing’s objective.
They were also envious in their hearts.
This was the Nirvana Forbidden Zone. Once trapped inside, at most, Great Experts could be sent to rescue them.
However, it was still extremely difficult for Great Experts to attempt a rescue.
How could it be like the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, which had someone like Ji Qing, who was supposedly only in the Nirvana Realm but whose actual combat power could rival a high-level Saint Venerable?
In the entire Black Ruins, Ji Qing was the only anomaly.
“Greetings, Old Ancestor Ji!”
As Ji Qing walked towards the Nirvana Forbidden Zone, Great Experts bowed their heads and congratulated him.
Their demeanor was extremely respectful.
Ji Qing felt a sense of emotion.
After his trip to the Jade Immortal Demon Domain, he had ascended to the level of “Old Ancestor.”
This was actually normal.
Among the Human Race Saint Venerables, each and every one of them was an Old Ancestor!
Since Ji Qing could kill nine Great Demon Sages, calling him “Old Ancestor” was not an exaggeration.
Afterward, Ji Qing flew straight into the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
Returning to the familiar Nirvana Forbidden Zone, Ji Qing rushed directly to Tian Ku Mountain without delay.
With the Void Evasion Law, everything seemed different for Ji Qing.
Under the enhancement of the Void Evasion Law, Ji Qing could sense every “space trap” within the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
Once stepped into, one would encounter trouble.
This was the reason why so many Great Experts were trapped in the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
These spatial traps were likely undetectable even by Great Experts and Saint Venerables.
Only Ji Qing, who carried the Void Evasion Law, could sense the spatial traps within the Nirvana Forbidden Zone using the Supreme Law of Space.
Therefore, Ji Qing naturally avoided all sorts of spatial traps as he traversed through space, successfully reaching Tian Ku Mountain.
“Last time, I was able to reach Tian Ku Mountain smoothly without falling into a spatial trap. It was truly luck…”
Ji Qing gazed at Tian Ku Mountain, filled with endless emotions.
Upon arriving at Tian Ku Mountain, Ji Qing also saw the Thirteen Lineage Masters.
At this moment, the bodies of the Thirteen Lineage Masters were largely petrified.
Only their heads had not yet petrified.
Some Lineage Masters had even half of their heads petrified, with only a few more months left at most.
“Ji Qing, you’ve finally arrived. If you hadn’t, we would have perished here…”
The Rong Shen First Meridian Master said with a wry smile.
It was fine before when Ji Qing wasn’t around; they were resigned to waiting for death.
But now that there was hope, they wished for Ji Qing’s arrival every single day. Each day felt like a year, making it particularly difficult.
“Esteemed Lineage Masters, please rest assured. This time, there should not be too many problems.”
Ji Qing said with full confidence.
The black stone statues he had to deal with numbered thirteen.
Each black stone statue was equipped with the standard combination of Legendary Supernatural Power, Supreme Dharma Idol, and Supreme Law.
With thirteen stone statues attacking together, how could a Nirvana Realm Great Expert stand a chance?
But Ji Qing was ultimately different.
He was even more terrifying than these black stone statues.
Because he now possessed eleven Supreme Laws.
Although Ji Qing had fewer Supreme Laws than the thirteen stone statues, Ji Qing also had advantages.
His advantage was that the Yin Fire and Yang Fire formed Yin-Yang Two Fires, greatly increasing their might.
There was also the Five Layered Heavenly Domain, with Five Elements Mutual Generation and Five Elements Mutual Assistance.
Furthermore, there was the enhancement from the Ancestor God True Body, the Second Stage Giant Spirit Race Physical Body, and the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm.
If even Ji Qing could not defeat the thirteen stone statues.
Then no one could save the Thirteen Lineage Masters.
“Esteemed Lineage Masters, please wait a moment!”
Ji Qing immediately walked towards the thirteen black stone statues.
“I wonder if Ji Qing can succeed this time?”
“Let’s hope he succeeds. If Ji Qing cannot defeat those thirteen black stone statues, then no one can save us.”
“Alas, who would have thought that we would one day need Ji Qing’s rescue?”
The expressions of the Thirteen Lineage Masters were somewhat complex.
They gazed at Ji Qing’s retreating figure.
Once upon a time, they had watched Ji Qing join the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory and grow step by step to his current position, to a point where even they could only look up to him.
Ji Qing was unaware of the Thirteen Lineage Masters’ reflections.
As he approached the thirteen black stone statues.
“Buzz.”
The thirteen black stone statues vibrated.
Afterward, the thirteen black stone statues transformed into thirteen terrifying Nirvana Realm Great Expert cultivators.
Ji Qing referred to these cultivators transformed from the thirteen black stone statues as “Perfect Cultivators.”
After all, Legendary Supernatural Power plus Supreme Dharma Idol plus Supreme Law.
Everything was perfect and flawless.
The might of thirteen “perfect” Nirvana Realm cultivators joining forces was incredibly terrifying.
Ji Qing took a deep breath.
“Five Layered Heavenly Domain!”
Instantly, Ji Qing manifested the Five Layered Heavenly Domain.
This was the first time Ji Qing had displayed a complete Five Layered Heavenly Domain.
“Boom.”
The combined strike of the thirteen “perfect” cultivators was how terrifying?
Last time, Ji Qing was almost blown up.
Then he had to flee in a panic.
But this time, Ji Qing decided to confront them head-on.
And, primarily, to confront them head-on using the “Five Layered Heavenly Domain.”
As Ji Qing unleashed the Five Layered Heavenly Domain, it instantly enveloped him.
Ji Qing was within the Five Layered Heavenly Domain.
He endured as the thirteen “perfect” cultivators unleashed thirteen Supreme Laws, striking the Five Layered Heavenly Domain fiercely.
“Rumble.”
The Five Layered Heavenly Domain vibrated violently.
It seemed as if it would shatter at any moment.
But miraculously, despite facing the bombardment of thirteen Supreme Laws, Ji Qing’s Five Layered Heavenly Domain, though precarious, did not break. Instead, as the Five Elements flowed, it became even more resilient.
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
This Five Layered Heavenly Domain was ridiculously strong.
Since the Five Layered Heavenly Domain alone could withstand the strike of the thirteen “perfect” cultivators, Ji Qing no longer hesitated. He unleashed all his other Supreme Laws, surging towards the thirteen “perfect” cultivators.
This time, it was a complete crushing.
However, it was no longer Ji Qing being crushed, but Ji Qing crushing the thirteen “perfect” cultivators.
“Bang.”
Finally, one perfect cultivator could no longer withstand it and was crushed into powder, completely dissipating.
Then came the second, third, fourth, fifth…
The thirteen perfect cultivators were defeated in disarray.
They were no match for Ji Qing.
Ji Qing completely crushed them in an extremely short period with overwhelming force.
“We won!”
“Hahaha, last time we saw Ji Qing get crushed, but this time Ji Qing has crushed the thirteen black statues.”
“It’s incredible. Ji Qing has unleashed eleven laws now, right? And they should all be Supreme Laws.”
“No wonder his strength is so great, and he has the Five Elements Laws to complement each other…”
The Thirteen Lineage Masters were all well-traveled and knowledgeable individuals.
They could see Ji Qing’s extraordinary power at a glance.
But even with their vast experience, they had never seen someone possess eleven Supreme Laws simultaneously.
It was simply inconceivable.
But seeing such an inconceivable thing happen to Ji Qing, they found it understandable.
Back then, Ji Qing could already defeat Great Experts while still in the Martial God realm. Therefore, any inconceivable event happening to Ji Qing was normal.
As the thirteen stone statues shattered, a piece of information entered Ji Qing’s mind.
Ji Qing was startled.
But it was only a piece of information, and Ji Qing calmed down slightly.
At the same time, a change also occurred in the bodies of the thirteen Lineage Masters.
Most of their bodies had been petrified.
But as Ji Qing defeated the thirteen black stone statues, the petrified bodies of the thirteen Lineage Masters gradually returned to normal.
“Hahaha, we’ve finally recovered!”
The Thirteen Lineage Masters immediately flew out of Tian Ku Mountain and came before Ji Qing.
“Ji Qing, we’re leaving first.”
The Thirteen Lineage Masters had absolutely no desire to stay in Tian Ku Mountain any longer.
They didn’t even want to stay in the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
They no longer cared about any opportunities or fortunes.
After being trapped in Tian Ku Mountain for these past few years, the Thirteen Lineage Masters had lost their ambition.
Now, they just wanted to leave the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
Ji Qing possessed the Void Evasion Law.
Relying on the Void Evasion Law, all spatial traps in the Nirvana Forbidden Zone were nowhere to hide.
Therefore, the Thirteen Lineage Masters had never felt so safe along the way.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.”
Finally, all thirteen Lineage Masters left the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
Numerous Great Experts looked at the figures with astonishment.
“Look quickly, someone else is coming out of the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.”
“One, two, three… why are there fourteen figures? Among them is ‘Old Ancestor Ji’.”
“Those are… the Thirteen Lineage Masters? ‘Old Ancestor Ji’ really rescued the Thirteen Lineage Masters…”
“‘Old Ancestor Ji’ entering the Nirvana Forbidden Zone is like taking whatever he wants. What danger in the Nirvana Forbidden Zone can stop him?”
Many Great Experts felt envious.
As for surprise?
In fact, not many people were surprised.
Ji Qing was now a peerless formidable figure who could battle and kill nine Great Demon Sages in one go.
He was considered a top-tier existence among Saint Venerables.
No matter how dangerous the Nirvana Forbidden Zone was, it was only dangerous to Great Experts.
For Ji Qing, there was no danger.
“Hoo… we’re finally out.”
“Whoever wants to enter this Nirvana Forbidden Zone can go ahead. Anyway, I never want to enter it again.”
“If it weren’t for Ji Qing this time, we probably would have stayed in the Nirvana Forbidden Zone forever…”
The Thirteen Lineage Masters became excited.
It was the feeling of surviving a calamity.
“Congratulations, ‘Old Ancestor Ji’, and congratulations to the Thirteen Lineage Masters!”
At this moment, many Great Experts outside the Nirvana Forbidden Zone congratulated Ji Qing and the others in unison.
“Wait, they just called Ji Qing ‘Old Ancestor Ji’, what’s going on?”
“Old Ancestor… isn’t that a title only for Great Saint Venerables?”
“Could it be that Ji Qing has done something significant in the past few years?”
The thirteen Lineage Masters were trapped within the Nirvana Forbidden Zone and were unaware of the news from the outside world.
Ji Qing said calmly, “It’s nothing major, it’s probably just the news spreading that I killed nine Demon Great Sages in one battle.”
“…”
The thirteen Lineage Masters fell silent.
They had nothing to say.
They knew that Ji Qing’s strength was very strong now, definitely comparable to a Saint Venerable.
But they were not entirely sure to what extent he was comparable to a Saint Venerable.
But now they knew.
Annihilating nine Demon Great Sages in one battle, was that something an ordinary Saint Venerable could do?
It must be a top-tier Saint Venerable!
Had Ji Qing’s strength grown to this level without them realizing it?
The thirteen Lineage Masters exchanged glances.
Even though they were the Lineage Masters of the Thirteen Meridians and held prestigious positions.
In the future, they would probably have to address Ji Qing as “Old Ancestor.”
“Thank you, Old Ancestor, for saving our lives!”
The thirteen Lineage Masters took a deep breath and immediately bowed deeply to Ji Qing.
The rules of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory dictated that the strongest came first.
Seniority and experience were completely unimportant.
Ji Qing now possessed Saint Venerable combat power, making him the Old Ancestor of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory!
“You are too kind, Lineage Masters. You may return to the Purgatory Realm first. I still need to go to the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.”
“Go to the Nirvana Forbidden Zone?”
The thirteen Lineage Masters were now deeply wary of the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
However, they also knew that with Ji Qing’s current strength, the Nirvana Forbidden Zone was like a backyard, posing no danger.
Therefore, they did not try to dissuade him. Instead, they cupped their fists in farewell and then teleported away through space.
Ji Qing glanced at the Great Experts outside the forbidden zone and no longer hesitated, flying back into the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
Many Great Experts outside the zone were envious.
Ji Qing treated the Nirvana Forbidden Zone as his backyard, entering and exiting as he pleased.
But they lacked that kind of strength.
Once they entered the Nirvana Forbidden Zone, it was truly a matter of life and death, extremely dangerous!
Ji Qing arrived at Tian Ku Mountain again.
The reason was simple: after he defeated the thirteen black stone statues, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
This information was extraordinary.
It meant that by defeating the thirteen black stone statues, he had passed the “trial.”
As long as he entered the depths of Tian Ku Mountain, he would receive a reward.
The Nirvana Forbidden Zone itself was a place of great opportunity.
It possessed countless inconceivable opportunities.
Otherwise, so many Great Experts would not have come here.
And Tian Ku Mountain was also extremely mysterious within the Nirvana Forbidden Zone.
Having terrifying existences like the black stone statues meant it was no ordinary place.
Ji Qing was naturally very interested, what was this reward?
Ji Qing stepped into the depths of Tian Ku Mountain.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing’s figure disappeared.
He arrived at a secret place.
But it should still be within Tian Ku Mountain.
In front of Ji Qing appeared rows of extremely tempting weapons.
They exuded a terrifying aura.
Even Ji Qing seemed hesitant to touch them lightly.
“Upon passing the assessment, you may be rewarded with an Emperor Weapon!”
Ji Qing’s heart trembled.
An Emperor Weapon.
That was a terrifying Supreme Treasure capable of harming a Great Emperor.
With an Emperor Weapon in hand, a Saint Venerable realm cultivator was almost invincible.
However, Ji Qing suppressed his inner desire.
Being invincible among Saint Venerables was not that difficult for him.
But an Emperor Weapon, one that could injure a Great Emperor.
This was very tempting.
But there was no rush, there could be other rewards.
“Upon passing the trial, you may obtain the Guardian Lotus, a Supreme Treasure that can preserve an unyielding consciousness, which even a Great Emperor cannot obliterate.”
Ji Qing’s heart trembled.
It could preserve an unyielding consciousness?
A Supreme Treasure that even a Great Emperor could not destroy.
This was a life-saving Supreme Treasure.
Even Great Emperors would go mad for it.
If it were any other cultivator, they would likely choose the Guardian Lotus immediately.
But for Ji Qing, it was somewhat redundant.
His Spiritual Imprint was already integrated with the Black Ruins.
As long as he was in the Black Ruins, Ji Qing was already immortal.
As long as the Black Ruins remained unbroken, he would not die.
Therefore, the Guardian Lotus held the least attraction for Ji Qing.
“Upon passing the trial, you may choose to reincarnate and cultivate anew.”
Ji Qing frowned.
Reincarnate and cultivate anew?
This could compensate for some previous shortcomings.
For example, if one had not comprehended the Supreme Law, they could do so after cultivating anew.
Or if one had not evolved a Legendary Supernatural Power, those regrets could be rectified by cultivating anew.
But Ji Qing’s foundation was very solid.
If he were to reincarnate and cultivate anew, he might not achieve such a profound foundation.
Ji Qing naturally would not choose to reincarnate and cultivate anew.
There were still other rewards.
And the final type of reward.
“Upon passing the trial, you may obtain the Method of the Mortal Immortal. Cultivating it allows one to become an immortal in the mortal world without entering the Immortal Realm, and they will be called a ‘Mortal Immortal’. The Method of the Mortal Immortal is extremely demanding of a cultivator’s comprehension and talent, making it very difficult to achieve. Please choose with caution!”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
The Method of the Mortal Immortal?
To become an immortal in the mortal world without entering the Immortal Realm?
This was like a timely gift for Ji Qing.
It was perfectly suited for him.
The Black Ruins’ Immortal Path was now severed, making it impossible to enter the Immortal Realm.
Wouldn’t the Mortal Immortal path be the best choice?
Ji Qing no longer hesitated and immediately reached out to grab the Jade Slip containing the Method of the Mortal Immortal.
