Chapter 254: Refines Emperor Weapon, Increases Combat Power Hundredfold! Ji Qing Uses Grotto-heaven Small Realm To Recultivate Curse Heavenly Scripture!
Ji Qing put away the Emperor Weapon and returned to Daoist Tiangong’s Cave Dwelling.
Daoist Tiangong had also watched Ji Qing’s battle with the End Great Emperor from the Human Immortal City throughout.
It was still reverberating in his mind.
He knew Ji Qing was strong; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to bring out so many Immortal Materials.
But he didn’t expect him to be this strong?
Even the famous End Great Emperor had a life severed.
However, this also made Daoist Tiangong feel a bit guilty.
If he hadn’t let the Emperor Weapon escape the Cave Dwelling, none of this would have happened, and Ji Qing wouldn’t have clashed with the End Great Emperor.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, this time it was my fault. I am willing to accept punishment. I am unworthy of this Immortal Material…”
Daoist Tiangong gritted his teeth and took out an Immortal Material.
This was Ji Qing’s reward.
As long as an Emperor Weapon that satisfied Ji Qing was forged, this Immortal Material would be the reward.
Daoist Tiangong knew he had caused a great disaster and no longer had the face to accept this Immortal Material.
Ji Qing glanced at Daoist Tiangong and said indifferently, “This time, Fellow Daoist Tiangong merely misjudged how powerful the forged Emperor Weapon would be, even destroying the third layer of formations. However, this also shows that the forged Emperor Weapon is very strong, so Fellow Daoist Tiangong need not blame yourself. This Immortal Material is your reward, and I, Ji Mou, will naturally not take it back.”
Ji Qing waved his hand, and the Immortal Material returned to Daoist Tiangong’s front.
Daoist Tiangong said with a face full of gratitude, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ji, for your magnanimity.”
“If you truly feel indebted, then next time I ask you to forge treasures, Fellow Daoist Tiangong, please put double the effort into refining them.”
“This old daoist will definitely put in double the effort.”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Afterward, Ji Qing and the Liuyu Great Emperor left the Cave Dwelling together.
They both returned to their respective Cave Dwellings.
Ji Qing closed his Cave Dwelling, refusing visitors.
He needed to refine these two Emperor Weapons.
Ji Qing immediately took out that saber.
It was this saber that pierced through the three layers of formations set up by Daoist Tiangong.
It could even easily pierce through Ji Qing’s Five Layered Heavenly Domain.
This was by no means an ordinary Emperor Weapon.
Ji Qing reached out and grasped it.
“Buzz.”
The Emperor Weapon vibrated violently.
It seemed to be resisting Ji Qing.
This was normal; treasures had spirits and would resist if they didn’t want to be refined or controlled.
Especially since Ji Qing had previously obstructed the Emperor Weapon and forcibly brought it back to the Cave Dwelling.
Ji Qing didn’t mind.
He knew that to completely control this saber, he had to refine it.
Only by refining this Emperor Weapon could it be used by him.
Ji Qing began to refine it.
The Emperor Weapon struggled violently but could not break free from Ji Qing’s grasp.
As time passed bit by bit.
One year, two years, three years…
It had to be said that this Emperor Weapon was difficult to refine.
It took Ji Qing a full ten years to completely refine it.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing opened his eyes.
The next moment, when Ji Qing held the hilt of the Emperor Weapon again, he immediately felt a difference.
This saber felt as if it had become his arm.
Crucially, it was incredibly compatible with his Emperor Body.
And also highly compatible with the eleven Supreme Laws.
Daoist Tiangong knew Ji Qing’s eleven Supreme Laws and had custom-made it.
Of course, the main reason was the Immortal Materials.
The Immortal Materials provided by Ji Qing were sufficient.
And the Immortal Materials were highly compatible with every Law.
“This is an Emperor Weapon tailor-made for me. I’ll give it a name, and from now on, it shall be called the Immortal Slaying Saber.”
“As for the Might of the Immortal Slaying Saber…”
Ji Qing felt it carefully.
The Might of the Immortal Slaying Saber was terrifying.
So terrifying that Ji Qing found it somewhat unbelievable.
“The Might of the Immortal Slaying Saber rivals fifty times Great Emperor Combat Power! It’s truly incredible, to rival fifty times Great Emperor Combat Power… If an ordinary Great Emperor wielded the Immortal Slaying Saber, they would immediately possess fifty times Great Emperor Combat Power, practically ascending to heaven in one step!”
Even Ji Qing was deeply moved at this moment.
Fifty times Great Emperor Combat Power!
He himself had never expected this.
Before, Ji Qing thought that an increase of ten or eight times Great Emperor Combat Power would be good enough.
In the end, fifty times Great Emperor Combat Power, what did that even mean?
Was it Daoist Tiangong’s superior forging technique?
Although it was related to some extent, it was certainly not the decisive factor.
Otherwise, Daoist Tiangong would have forged powerful Emperor Weapons long ago.
In fact, there was only one Immortal Slaying Saber.
Daoist Tiangong was also unclear about its full Might.
Everyone had underestimated the Immortal Slaying Saber.
After all, who could have imagined that the Immortal Slaying Saber could rival fifty times Great Emperor Combat Power?
There was only one reason, and that was the Immortal Materials!
The new materials used for the Immortal Slaying Saber were not just one type.
They were smelted from dozens of Immortal Materials.
Its Might naturally far exceeded expectations.
There was also a suit of armor.
Ji Qing immediately began to refine it.
The armor, while seemingly not as sharp as the Immortal Slaying Saber, was actually very comprehensive, combining offense and defense. In terms of preciousness, it was actually more valuable than the Immortal Slaying Saber.
If many Great Emperors were to choose between the Immortal Slaying Saber and the armor.
It was likely that many would choose the armor.
One year, three years, five years, eight years, ten years…
Finally, after another ten years, Ji Qing successfully refined the armor.
“Buzz.”
A black light flashed, and the jet-black armor covered Ji Qing’s body.
Ji Qing carefully felt the armor’s defense.
Even the Immortal Slaying Saber striking the armor could be withstood.
“The armor’s Might is also about fifty times Great Emperor Combat Power!”
“This armor is entirely black, forged from Immortal Materials. Let’s call it the Black Immortal Battle Armor.”
Ji Qing, holding the Immortal Slaying Saber and wearing the Black Immortal Battle Armor, now possessed exactly 100 times Great Emperor Combat Power.
Add his Emperor Body, and that’s 110 times Great Emperor Combat Power.
His Grotto-Heaven Small Realm provided 16 times Great Emperor Combat Power.
The Third-Tier Giant Spirit God Race’s Physical Body provided 4 times Great Emperor Combat Power.
The Supreme Saber Technique could probably increase Great Emperor Combat Power by 1 time.
With all of Ji Qing’s methods combined, he had reached a staggering 231 times Great Emperor Combat Power.
This was a terrifying number.
What did this mean?
Taking the End Great Emperor as an example, his first life had about 60 times Great Emperor Combat Power.
This meant the End Great Emperor would need to live out four lives to match Ji Qing’s current strength.
This difficulty was immense.
Although Ji Qing didn’t know how one could live out a Second Life, a Third Life, and so on.
He knew how difficult it was just by seeing how many Supreme Experts couldn’t live out a Second Life.
Let alone living out four lives.
Ji Qing immediately checked his own stats.
Ji Qing: Emperor Realm
Emperor Body: 1%
Giant Spirit Race: Third Tier （40%）
Grotto-Heaven Small Realm: Major Accomplishment （60%）
Mind: True Self Uniqueness （Fifth Realm Fifth Stage, Immortal Characteristic）
Origin Points: 200.1 billion points
Ji Qing was now in the Emperor Realm.
However, his Emperor Body only had a mere 1% progress.
It was still a long way from 100%.
However, Ji Qing needed to consider what came after Emperor Body Perfection.
Now, from 1% Emperor Body to Perfection, he had no doubts.
The direction was also very clear.
Only a large amount of Chaos Origin was needed.
But after Emperor Body Perfection, how to live out a Second Life was something Ji Qing needed to start preparing for now.
“Second Life…”
Ji Qing’s heart stirred.
He thought of the Mortal Immortal’s method, called the Nine World Reincarnation Art.
This method was very peculiar; it required living out nine lives, and each life had to be cultivated to the extreme, perfect in all aspects, laying the most solid foundation. After nine lives, one could gather the Accumulation of the nine lives and achieve immortality in the mortal world!
This Method of the Mortal Immortal, and the Great Emperors in the Immortal Path who lived out life after life, were they very similar?
Could it be that the Great Emperors in the Immortal Path who lived out life after life were actually following the Method of the Mortal Immortal?
Ji Qing wasn’t entirely sure.
Perhaps, or perhaps not.
But Ji Qing leaned towards yes.
After all, the Immortal Path was severed.
The normal way to achieve immortality was no longer possible.
The Mortal Immortal was the only way to become an immortal.
As for the Method of the Mortal Immortal, that was even less of a problem.
Since Ji Qing could obtain the Method of the Mortal Immortal from Tian Ku Mountain, others might also be able to obtain it elsewhere.
This was a completely normal occurrence.
Moreover, Ji Qing examined the Nine World Reincarnation Art carefully.
He discovered that this method indeed required external aids to reincarnate once, that is, to live out a Second Life.
It required the most top-tier treasures to have a chance of living out a Second Life.
Then came the Third Life, the Fourth Life…
But in the Black Ruins or the Immortal Path, where could one find so many top-tier treasures?
“If the Great Emperors who have lived out several lives are indeed following the Method of the Mortal Immortal, then have any of them lived out nine lives and thus achieved Mortal Immortal status?”
Ji Qing pondered a question.
If the Method of the Mortal Immortal had truly spread.
Was it possible for some powerful individuals to have cultivated into Mortal Immortals?
The answer was… someone must have cultivated into a Mortal Immortal!
After all, this method had been circulating for too long.
It had been so long that no one remembered who originated this method.
Various characteristics were too similar to the Mortal Immortal’s Nine World Reincarnation Art.
“Regardless of whether it’s the Method of the Mortal Immortal or not, as long as it can increase my Strength, that’s fine.”
“Moreover, I still have an advantage. If the Method of the Mortal Immortal doesn’t work out, I can still cultivate the Curse Heavenly Scripture…”
Ji Qing had been constantly considering whether or not to cultivate the Curse Heavenly Scripture.
His current Law system was impossible to abandon.
After all, it was already very mature.
But the Curse Heavenly Scripture belonged to the cultivation system of the Eternal Universe and had its unique aspects.
The best method is to cultivate both.
But how can one cultivate both?
For example, a perfect and independent avatar is required.
Otherwise, it will definitely affect the main body.
Ji Qing considered for a long time.
He finally thought of a method.
That is his Grotto-Heaven Small Realm.
This Grotto-Heaven Small Realm was gradually cultivated and evolved from Ji Qing’s Saber Domain.
By now, the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm and the Law system have actually become two different systems.
And they are unrelated to each other.
But Ji Qing can still maintain absolute control over the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm.
The Grotto-Heaven Small Realm is unrelated to the main body, and Ji Qing can absolutely control it, doesn’t this meet the requirements of the Curse Heavenly Scripture?
However, there is still one problem at the moment.
That is, can the Curse Heavenly Scripture be cultivated with the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm as the main body?
After all, the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm is not a “person” and does not have a physical body.
It is a world!
But upon careful consideration, the Curse Heavenly Scripture ultimately requires the condensation of a Curse Heavenly Body.
A Heavenly Body within the Universe.
That is not a physical body either.
Therefore, it seems not impossible for a world to transform into a peculiar Heavenly Body.
“Let’s try it.”
Ji Qing could actually feel it.
His cultivation of the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm was becoming slower and slower.
It was almost impossible to make progress.
Without a special Opportunity, the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm could hardly achieve Perfection.
But if he switched to cultivating the Curse Heavenly Scripture, it would be different.
If everything goes smoothly, Ji Qing will have a complete Method.
In the future, there is a great Hope of condensing a Curse Heavenly Body.
Once a Curse Heavenly Body is condensed, it will be on par with a True Immortal!
Moreover, the Curse Heavenly Scripture is equivalent to a stepping stone.
Once successful, it would mean that the Cultivation System of the Eternal Universe would open its Great Door to Ji Qing, and he could cultivate the Cultivation System of the Eternal Universe.
But the prerequisite is that Ji Qing must succeed in his cultivation.
Ji Qing had never tried before because the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm’s Great Emperor Combat Power, which was as high as 16 times, was still quite important to Ji Qing.
But now, Ji Qing has already reached a Strength of 231 times Great Emperor Combat Power.
Temporarily losing the 16 times Great Emperor Combat Power of the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm would have almost no impact on Ji Qing.
Therefore, Ji Qing could now boldly try.
Ji Qing immediately began to cultivate the Curse Heavenly Scripture, using the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm as the foundation.
He didn’t seek to be proficient.
He only sought to be a Beginner.
Because once he was a Beginner, Ji Qing could improve directly.
To be a Beginner in the Curse Heavenly Scripture, one must first become a “Curse Body.”
It is necessary to accommodate various “Curses” into the body.
Ji Qing had no Curses.
But this could not stump Ji Qing.
Because Ji Qing had left a Spiritual Imprint in the Curse Divine Hall, as long as he could sense the Curse Divine Hall, he could return to the Curse Divine Hall at any time.
Ji Qing sensed it slightly.
Even on the Immortal Path, he could sense the Curse Divine Hall.
Although not as clear as the Black Ruins.
Ji Qing immediately moved his mind and activated the imprint of the Curse Divine Hall.
“Swish.”
The next moment, Ji Qing suddenly disappeared from his Cave Dwelling.
Ji Qing seemed to pass through a long passage.
There might have been some obstacles in the middle, but they could not stop him.
When Ji Qing opened his eyes, he had already returned to the Curse Divine Hall.
“Young Master, you’re back?”
Ji Qing heard a familiar voice, which was surprisingly the Spirit of the Curse Divine Hall.
“Young Master, why did you come back so soon?”
To the Spirit of the Divine Hall, the time Ji Qing had left the Curse Divine Hall was very short.
“Spirit of the Divine Hall, I’ve come back this time to cultivate the Curse Heavenly Scripture.”
“What, Young Master is going to cultivate the Curse Heavenly Scripture? That’s great.”
The Spirit of the Divine Hall was overjoyed.
It truly did not expect Ji Qing to make up his mind to cultivate the Curse Heavenly Scripture so quickly.
After all, this was a cultivation system completely different from the Law system.
It wasn’t so easy to make up one’s mind to cultivate it.
“I found some methods, so I’m trying it out. The first step of the Curse Heavenly Scripture requires many Curses to enter the body and cultivate a ‘Curse Body.’ I can’t find so many Curses, so I can only rely on the Curse Divine Hall.”
Ji Qing explained.
“That’s easy to say. There are many Curses in the Curse Divine Hall. As long as the Young Master can bear it, there’s no limit to the number of Curses, and it will definitely help you be a Beginner in the Curse Heavenly Scripture.”
The Spirit of the Divine Hall also answered truthfully.
Merely being a Beginner in the Curse Heavenly Scripture was too simple.
As for Ji Qing claiming to have found a perfect method.
Not giving up the Law system.
But still wanting to cultivate the Curse Heavenly Scripture, the Spirit of the Divine Hall still felt it was unlikely.
Since Ji Qing had already made up his mind, the Spirit of the Divine Hall could not persuade him otherwise.
Ji Qing would know after trying.
Wanting to cultivate both?
It was as difficult as reaching heaven.
It was almost impossible!
The Spirit of the Divine Hall had once followed the Curse Heavenly Venerate to fight in the Immortal Realm.
The war between the Immortal Realm and the Eternal Universe had lasted for a long time.
Both sides had long ago figured out each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
Therefore, if cultivating both were truly possible, someone would have done it long ago.
But in the Immortal Realm, as well as the Eternal Universe.
No one could cultivate the other’s cultivation system.
Ji Qing immediately began to circulate the Curse Heavenly Scripture.
“Spirit of the Divine Hall, begin. Release Curses upon me.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Thus, the Spirit of the Divine Hall began to unleash Curses upon Ji Qing.
One, two, three, four, five…
The Spirit of the Divine Hall released them slowly.
Ji Qing would continue to release them only after confirming that he was fine.
To prevent Ji Qing from being unable to withstand the Curses and suffering an accident.
However, Ji Qing swept all these Curses into the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm.
And according to the method of the Curse Heavenly Scripture, he attempted to shape a “Curse Body.”
He treated the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm as a “cultivator.”
Allowing the Curses to integrate into the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm.
Attempting to be a Beginner in the Curse Heavenly Scripture in this way could only be described as “wishful thinking.”
It was truly unique!
Time passed day by day.
As time went on, the Spirit of the Divine Hall became increasingly surprised and uncertain.
It had continuously unleashed over a hundred types of Curses on Ji Qing.
How could Ji Qing withstand so many Curses?
The key was, with so many Curses, and the supreme Method of the Curse Heavenly Scripture in hand, why was Ji Qing still unable to be a Beginner for so long?
The Spirit of the Divine Hall felt that this was too bizarre.
But Ji Qing was the Young Master of the Curse Divine Hall, and it could not disobey Ji Qing’s orders for the time being.
As long as Ji Qing didn’t say stop, it had to continue to obey orders and release Curses.
“Buzz.”
After an unknown amount of time, a peculiar fluctuation emanated.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing suddenly opened his eyes.
“It’s done… the Curse Body!”
The Spirit of the Divine Hall finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Young Master, you have finally become a Beginner in the Curse Heavenly Scripture and cultivated the Curse Body?”
The Spirit of the Divine Hall asked.
“Yes, the Curse Body has finally been cultivated, and the Curse Heavenly Scripture has reached Beginner level. It really wasn’t easy…”
Even Ji Qing felt it was not easy.
The Curse Heavenly Scripture once mentioned that generally, for a Curse Body to be cultivated, at most ten or so Curses would suffice.
But what about Ji Qing?
It took over a hundred Curses to cultivate the Curse Body.
The key was that Ji Qing’s current Curse Body seemed different from any other Curse Body.
Others could cultivate a Curse Body with a few Curses.
Ji Qing used over a hundred.
The difference was too great.
Moreover, precisely because it was a Grotto-Heaven Small Realm, it could completely withstand over a hundred Curses.
This was much stronger than a physical body.
Ji Qing’s current Grotto-Heaven Small Realm was very bizarre.
Due to the Curse Body, anyone enveloped by the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm would immediately encounter over a hundred Curses.
It was truly terrifying.
However, the most crucial thing was that the Curse Heavenly Scripture had reached Beginner level.
Ji Qing could directly upgrade the Curse Heavenly Scripture.
“Upgrade the Curse Heavenly Scripture.”
Ji Qing immediately began the upgrade.
Strictly speaking, the Curse Heavenly Scripture was a Method of the Earthly level.
Each upgrade required one trillion Origin Points.
Immediately, Ji Qing consumed one trillion Origin Points.
The Curse Heavenly Scripture was also upgraded to Minor Accomplishment.
Images appeared in Ji Qing’s mind.
That was his Memory.
It seemed as if he had been cultivating the Curse Heavenly Scripture day and night.
And gradually transforming towards the form of a “Curse Heavenly Body.”
Finally, the upgrade was complete.
The Curse Heavenly Scripture reached Minor Accomplishment.
The Grotto-Heaven Small Realm had already begun to gradually form a Heavenly Body.
But it was only a transformation.
“Continue to upgrade the Curse Heavenly Scripture to Major Accomplishment.”
This was Ji Qing’s last one trillion Origin Points.
As the Origin Points were consumed, the transformation of Ji Qing’s Grotto-Heaven Small Realm accelerated.
At this moment, the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm also began to distort.
It was no longer a world.
It was evolving towards a Heavenly Body.
And it was a very special Heavenly Body.
It was entirely composed of curses.
Ji Qing couldn’t understand this transformation either.
But that didn’t stop Ji Qing from feeling its terrifying power.
Time passed little by little.
Finally, the improvement ended.
Ji Qing’s Grotto-Heaven Small Realm also finished its transformation.
Ji Qing: Emperor Realm
Emperor Body: 1%
Curse Heavenly Scripture: Curse Body Major Accomplishment （ can improve ）
Giant Spirit Race: Third Order （40%）
Mind: True Self Uniqueness （Fifth Realm Fifth Stage, Immortal Characteristic）
Origin Point: 1 billion points
Ji Qing’s Grotto-Heaven Small Realm disappeared; it had transformed into the Curse Body.
And the Curse Heavenly Scripture that Ji Qing cultivated had been improved to Major Accomplishment.
“Wait, not enough Origin Points?”
Ji Qing was slightly stunned.
Currently, there were indeed only 1 billion Origin Points left, and it wasn’t enough.
However, obtaining one trillion Origin Points wasn’t difficult at all.
It was only necessary to kill a Demon Emperor.
For the current Ji Qing, it would be easy.
Once he had another trillion Origin Points, the Curse Body could be improved from Major Accomplishment to Perfection.
However, what about after Perfection?
Upon reaching Perfection with the Curse Body, he would have to attempt to evolve it into a Curse Heavenly Body.
This would be a leap to the heavens!
It would be equivalent to going from a Great Emperor to a True Immortal!
This step would be extremely difficult.
Because to achieve Perfection in the Curse Heavenly Scripture, external items were still needed.
These external items only existed in the Eternal Universe.
Furthermore, even within the Eternal Universe, they were considered extremely rare treasures.
In any place, going from Great Emperor to True Immortal was incredibly difficult.
This was true for any cultivation system.
Ji Qing could understand this.
However, he wasn’t prepared to go to the Eternal Universe yet.
“Spirit of the Divine Hall, can you return to the Eternal Universe?”
Ji Qing asked.
“Young Master, that… is very difficult. Unless, one day, the Eternal Universe reopens the passage to the Black Ruins, I can return to the Eternal Universe. Otherwise, I can only remain in the Black Ruins forever.”
The Spirit of the Divine Hall replied.
Ji Qing nodded.
He had nothing to regret now.
He couldn’t go to the Eternal Universe anyway.
Therefore, cultivating the Curse Heavenly Body was out of the question for now.
He had no way to travel to the Eternal Universe.
It was useless to even think about it.
However, the Curse Body at Major Accomplishment was already quite formidable.
Whether the Curse Body was strong or not depended on the cultivator themselves.
There were over ten types of curses that could form a Curse Body.
Some curses could form a Curse Body.
Naturally, there were differences in strength.
Theoretically, the more curses one endured, the more powerful the Curse Body formed would be.
And Ji Qing had endured over a hundred types of curses.
This was truly… far too outrageous.
When the Curse Heavenly Scripture was only at the beginner stage, its might was not fully apparent.
But now, it was different.
The Curse Heavenly Scripture had reached Major Accomplishment.
The Grotto-Heaven Small Realm had also completely transformed into the Curse Body.
And it was an extremely peculiar Curse Body.
The current Grotto-Heaven Small Realm was clearly different.
As for its might, Ji Qing was not sure.
After all, the power of a Curse Body could only be truly tested in combat.
Testing it was also simple.
He only needed to unleash the Curse Body and see what level of expert its curses could corrode.
Ji Qing estimated that Ten Times Great Emperor Combat Power and Twenty Times Great Emperor Combat Power would definitely not be able to withstand the curses of the current Curse Body.
Perhaps Thirty Times or even Fifty Times Great Emperor Combat Power would be needed to resist.
Moreover, the Curse Body was only at Major Accomplishment; it could still be improved to Perfection.
“Origin Points… I’ll go kill a Demon Emperor first.”
And where could he find a Demon Emperor?
Without a doubt, the Demon Country!
There were definitely Demon Emperors in the Demon Country within the Black Ruins!
The Immortal Path also had Demon Emperors.
However, whether he would kill a Demon Emperor in the Black Ruins or on the Immortal Path still required careful consideration.
Ji Qing thought about it and decided to go to the Immortal Path.
Killing demons on the Immortal Path would not be blamed on the Human Race in the Black Ruins.
At most, they would resent Human Immortal City.
But the demons wouldn’t dare to attack Human Immortal City.
With this in mind, Ji Qing immediately said, “Spirit of the Divine Hall, I’m leaving for now. I’ll return if needed.”
“Understood, farewell, Young Master.”
Ji Qing left the Curse Divine Hall, then quickly traversed space, arriving at the entrance to the Immortal Path.
When Ji Qing set foot on the Immortal Path again, there were no attacks this time.
Even the entrance to the Immortal Path was sparsely populated.
“The demons on the Immortal Path are all in Demon Immortal City…”
Ji Qing pondered and decided he wasn’t foolish enough to directly attack Demon Immortal City.
However, by venturing near Demon Immortal City, he was sure to encounter some Demon Emperors.
With Ji Qing’s current strength, as long as he didn’t actively attack Demon Immortal City, what else was there to worry about?
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing directly teleported to the vicinity of Demon Immortal City.
“A bit further still.”
Ji Qing continued to retreat.
In reality, he was already a considerable distance from Demon Immortal City.
At such a distance, the number of Demon Emperors was small.
But he could still encounter Demon Emperors.
For instance, Ji Qing could sense three Demon Emperors ahead.
“It’s you then!”
Ji Qing had no psychological burden whatsoever.
Humans and demons were, whether on the Immortal Path or in the Black Ruins, eternal enemies, absolutely antagonistic.
Killing any demon would not be a mistake.
These three Demon Emperors were originally exploring together.
After achieving nothing, they were preparing to return to Demon Immortal City.
“Swish.”
Suddenly, a figure appeared before them.
The three Demon Emperors were startled.
“Human Great Emperor?”
“How dare you appear near Demon Immortal City, you court death!”
The three Demon Emperors immediately took the initiative to attack.
They only knew Ji Qing was a Human Great Emperor.
As for who Ji Qing was, they had no idea.
As the three Demon Emperors attacked, Ji Qing immediately sensed that among them, there was only a supreme expert with more than ten times Great Emperor Combat Power.
The remaining two Demon Emperors were merely Demon Emperors with several times Great Emperor Combat Power.
Their strength was not worth mentioning.
“Boom.”
The combined strike of the three Demon Emperors did not even make Ji Qing move.
He hadn’t even activated his Black Immortal Battle Armor.
As a result, the three Demon Emperors couldn’t even shake Ji Qing’s Emperor Body.
They didn’t cause even the slightest damage.
“What?”
“It’s a top Human Great Emperor, run quickly!”
The three Demon Emperors realized something, their faces changed drastically.
They were no longer brave and immediately fled towards Demon Immortal City.
But how could Ji Qing let them have their way?
Ji Qing didn’t even need to draw his sword.
He simply extended his hand.
Instantly, an invisible force bound the three Demon Emperors.
Then, Ji Qing clenched his hand from afar.
“Bang, bang, bang.”
The three Demon Emperors, including a supreme expert among them.
As a result, they were crushed into pulp by Ji Qing’s hand from a distance.
They didn’t even have the strength to resist.
Ji Qing’s strength, to this extent?
The three Demon Emperors were dead.
Three trillion Origin Points were obtained.
The once dangerous Immortal Path was now nothing to the current Ji Qing.
The Immortal Path was so vast that he could almost move about unimpeded.
“Hm?”
However, Ji Qing did not leave immediately.
He looked up and saw a figure appearing in the void ahead.
A Demon Emperor!
This was another Demon Emperor!
However, this Demon Emperor seemed significantly different from other Demon Emperors.
Approaching Ji Qing silently indicated that this was no ordinary Demon Emperor.
“Supreme Great Emperor of Human Immortal City, Ji Qing! Fellow Daoist, you have crossed the line.”
The Demon Emperor said calmly.
“Crossed the line? I didn’t attack Demon Immortal City, so how can you say I crossed the line?”
Ji Qing was aware of some unwritten rules between Demon Immortal City and Human Immortal City.
That was, they were not allowed to directly attack Demon Immortal City or Human Immortal City.
This was an unwritten rule between Human Immortal City and Demon Immortal City.
If it were broken, it would be a disaster for both Human Immortal City and Demon Immortal City.
Moreover, the Forbidden Zone was watching covetously on the Immortal Path.
“Fellow Daoist, are you looking to fight?”
Ji Qing took out the Immortal Slaying Saber.
“Fellow Daoist, are you looking to fight?”
Ji Qing took out the Immortal Slaying Saber.
A terrifying aura emanated, causing the expression of this Demon Emperor to change slightly.
Simultaneously, shadowy figures appeared on the Demon Emperor’s body.
The aura on his body also surged.
Clearly, the other party was also an old monster who had lived through several lives.
The foundation of Demon Immortal City!
However, both sides were very restrained.
Ji Qing was restrained because this place was not far from Demon Immortal City; if he were to have a great war with the other party, the commotion would be too great, easily leading to an encirclement by the many Demon Emperors of Demon Immortal City.
Although Ji Qing’s strength had greatly increased, he did not believe he was invincible on the Immortal Path yet.
He even felt that there might be beings on the Immortal Path who had lived through nine lives, or even achieved the Mortal Immortal realm.
If such a monster were provoked.
Then he would be in danger.
He might not even have the chance to escape back to the Curse Divine Hall.
If this physical body were annihilated, how long would it take him to condense another one from the Black Ruins?
A thousand years?
Or even longer?
The reason this Demon Emperor was restrained was also very simple: he lacked confidence.
He had heard of the Supreme Great Emperors.
Ji Qing had even severed one life of the End Great Emperor in Human Immortal City.
And now, the Emperor Weapon in Ji Qing’s hand was emitting a terrifying aura.
Furthermore, Ji Qing was wearing a black armor that was also extraordinary.
This caused Ji Qing’s strength to surge.
Even though the Demon Emperor had lived through several lives, he had a feeling that even if he attacked, he might not be able to defeat Ji Qing.
Since he couldn’t defeat Ji Qing, taking action would be meaningless.
In fact, he might even lose one or several lives himself.
It wasn’t worth it!
“Forget it, Fellow Daoist Ji, you may leave.”
This Demon Emperor spoke.
Clearly, he also did not wish to have a conflict with Ji Qing here.
Ji Qing gave the other party a deep look.
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing directly traversed the void and left.
The Demon Emperor looked in Ji Qing’s direction, his expression full of solemnity.
“I have lived through four lives, yet I felt extreme danger from him. This person… is truly unbelievable.”
As for the other three Demon Emperors?
They were even less worth mentioning.
…
Ji Qing traversed space and returned to Human Immortal City.
He had seen three shadowy figures on that Demon Emperor just now, which meant he had likely lived through four lives, a four-life old monster!
Such existences were all terrifying.
Their foundations were unfathomable.
However, the other party ultimately did not make a move.
Even near Demon Immortal City, he did not make a move against him. There was only one reason: the other party was wary of Ji Qing!
“If it weren’t for being near Demon Immortal City, I would have truly liked to see how strong a Demon Emperor who had lived through four lives was?”
Ji Qing muttered softly.
He returned to his Cave Dwelling.
Now that the Origin Points were sufficient, he immediately began to improve the Curse Heavenly Scripture.
“Raise the Curse Heavenly Scripture to Perfection!”
“Boom.”
Immediately, Ji Qing’s Grotto-Heaven Small Realm, no, it should be his Curse Body, began to vibrate violently.
Ji Qing’s Curse Body was too immense.
But no matter how immense, it still had to be improved.
Ten thousand Origin Points would not be consumed in vain.
If, perhaps, the previous Curse Body was somewhat unstable.
Then now, the Curse Body had reached Perfection.
It had also become very stable.
With every move, Ji Qing could directly unleash Curse Power.
“It’s done!”
Ji Qing glanced at the Progress of the Curse Heavenly Scripture.
“Curse Heavenly Scripture: Curse Body （ Perfection ）”
Once this Curse Body reached Perfection, it was like a hedgehog.
There was nowhere to attack on its entire body.
Because every part of it was a terrifying curse.
A slight touch, or even being slightly close, would result in being cursed.
As the Grotto-Heaven Small Realm transformed into the Curse Body.
The Grotto-Heaven Small Realm with 16 times Great Emperor Combat Power disappeared.
Ji Qing’s original Combat Power was 231 times Great Emperor Combat Power, and now it was only 215 times Great Emperor Combat Power.
But this did not include the Curse Body.
With the Curse Body at Perfection, Ji Qing could feel that its Might was definitely not ordinary.
But it was completely different from the Law system, and thus could not be superimposed.
It could only be unleashed independently.
“I still need to try.”
Ji Qing also needed to understand the strength of this Curse Body.
Otherwise, in future battles, if Ji Qing himself didn’t know his own strength, how could he coordinate?
Ji Qing thought for a moment and found Liuyu Great Emperor.
After all, Liuyu Great Emperor also possessed more than twenty times Great Emperor Combat Power, so her strength was not weak.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, weren’t you in seclusion? Is there something you need from me?”
Liuyu Great Emperor asked.
“Indeed, there is. Has your strength improved recently, Fellow Daoist?”
Ji Qing asked.
“Yes, it’s around twenty-five times Great Emperor Combat Power.”
“Good, I happen to have a special technique, so I’d like to ask Fellow Daoist Liuyu to test it. If you can’t withstand it, Fellow Daoist Liuyu, you must speak up.”
Liuyu Great Emperor was also very curious.
Ji Qing had come to find her to test a new technique?
What technique required a Supreme Expert with twenty-five times Great Emperor Combat Power like her to test?
“Do we need to go to the Immortal Path?”
“It won’t cause that much of a commotion. It can be done in the Cave Dwelling. Pay attention, this attack is divine, making it impossible to guard against…”
After Ji Qing finished speaking, he immediately activated the Curse Body.
Ji Qing only activated the Curse Body and released about one-tenth of the curse.
He was still very cautious.
Immediately, the invisible and intangible curse fell upon Liuyu Great Emperor.
Liuyu Great Emperor immediately felt her Laws beginning to collapse.
Her Physical Body began to annihilate.
“What?”
Liuyu Great Emperor was greatly shocked.
The key was that she didn’t feel any attack, yet she had already been hit.
However, Liuyu Great Emperor was, after all, a Supreme Expert with twenty-five times Great Emperor Combat Power.
After carefully sensing it, she vaguely detected this power.
“This is… Curse Power?”
After all, Liuyu Great Emperor had also been to the Curse Divine Hall.
She was naturally aware of Curse Power.
She tried to resist.
But this Curse Power was not a single curse, but a mixed curse.
There was no way to deal with it except to endure it head-on.
Once cursed, it was extremely difficult to remove.
This was the characteristic of Curse Power; it was like a shadow clinging to the bones, very difficult to deal with.
“Stop, Fellow Daoist Ji, I can’t take it anymore…”
Liuyu Great Emperor did not endure it and immediately called to stop.
If she continued, her troubles would be immense.
In fact, she might even die!
“Withdraw.”
Ji Qing immediately withdrew the curse.
This curse could only be withdrawn by Ji Qing’s Curse Body.
He could control it at will.
This was the true Perfection of the Curse Heavenly Scripture!
With the curse gone, with Liuyu Great Emperor’s strength, her Laws and Emperor Body quickly recovered.
The recovery power of the Emperor Body was extremely terrifying.
However, Liuyu Great Emperor still felt lingering fear.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, I couldn’t withstand your Curse Power. You weren’t using your full strength just now, were you? You used seven or eight parts of your power?”
Liuyu Great Emperor asked tentatively.
“…”
Ji Qing didn’t know how to respond.
But finally, Ji Qing slowly spoke: “For the curse just now, I only used one-tenth of my strength.”
“…”
Now it was Liuyu Great Emperor’s turn to fall silent.
One-tenth of his strength?
Could one-tenth of his strength be this strong?
Moreover, Curse Power could secretly attack people.
Some Curse Power was invisible and intangible, which even Great Emperors couldn’t detect.
Of course, the more invisible and intangible the curse, the weaker its Might actually was.
It could only deal with some ordinary Great Emperors.
Ji Qing estimated that the Might of his Curse Body was truly extraordinary.
But he still needed to test its specific power.
However, among the acquaintances Ji Qing knew in Human Immortal City, only Liuyu Great Emperor and Grand Beginning Great Emperor were slightly stronger.
Grand Beginning Great Emperor and Liuyu Great Emperor were similar.
If Liuyu Great Emperor couldn’t withstand it, Grand Beginning Great Emperor certainly wouldn’t be able to.
If Ji Qing rashly sought out strangers for sparring.
There would likely be many troubles.
“Never mind, even Liuyu Great Emperor couldn’t withstand one-tenth of the Curse Power. I fear the Might of the Curse Body exceeds my imagination. It’s likely comparable to a hundred times Great Emperor Combat Power, perhaps even higher!”
Ji Qing’s expression was also solemn.
The Perfection of the Curse Body was equivalent to the Perfection of the Emperor Body.
Being comparable to a hundred times Great Emperor Combat Power was already terrifying.
This indicated that the Curse Body was definitely not to be underestimated in the Eternal Universe.
It was even a top-tier existence.
However, the Curse Body would only go this far.
Without going to the Eternal Universe, it would never be able to break through.
In contrast, the Law system still had infinite potential.
For example, Ji Qing’s Emperor Body had only achieved 1% Progress.
As long as there was Chaos Origin, Ji Qing’s strength could continue to improve.
He could even live out his first life, second life, third life, and so on.
But Chaos Origin was already difficult to find.
Ji Qing could only wait quietly.
……
The End Great Emperor arrived in a void along the Immortal Path.
In recent years, the End Great Emperor had been trying hard to find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, attempting to live out his Third Life, Fourth Life, Fifth Life, and so on.
Unfortunately, he found nothing.
Having had one of his lives severed by Ji Qing, the End Great Emperor could only hide everywhere.
He dared not show himself.
Once discovered, Ji Qing might pursue and kill him.
If he were to encounter Ji Qing again, he would have no other life to sacrifice for him now.
At that time, he would be doomed.
An Immortal Corpse Arm once appeared in this void.
Therefore, some suspected that there was an Immortal Corpse Remnant here.
Unfortunately, many had searched without success.
The End Great Emperor prepared to try his luck again.
Immortal Corpse Remnants often contained some Treasures.
Some of these Treasures might allow him to live out his Third Life, Fourth Life, and so on.
If he could live for two more lives, he would no longer fear Ji Qing.
Just as the End Great Emperor was searching everywhere.
“Buzz.”
A vortex suddenly appeared beside the End Great Emperor.
“This vortex…”
The End Great Emperor’s heart stirred, and he immediately reached out to touch it.
“Swish.”
In the next moment, the End Great Emperor’s figure vanished without a trace.
After an unknown amount of time, this void violently shook.
An Immortal Mansion with mighty Immortal Qi appeared.
The terrifying vibration instantly spread an immeasurable distance.
Human Immortal City, Demon Immortal City, and even the Forbidden Zone clearly felt this terrifying Immortal Qi fluctuation.
In an instant, countless cultivators were shocked.
“Such a terrifying Immortal Qi vibration, what kind of Immortal Treasure has appeared?”
Therefore, Emperors, Demon Emperors, and Forbidden Zone Monsters all rushed towards the source of the Immortal Qi fluctuation without delay.
