Chapter 255: Ji Qing Claims Immortal Mansion, Old Acquaintance Inside Immortal Mansion, End Great Emperor Crushed To Death By Ji Qing!
“What is this…”
Ji Qing also rushed out of the cave dwelling at the first opportunity.
Liuyu Great Emperor and Grand Beginning Great Emperor also gathered around Ji Qing.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, such a terrifying immortal qi fluctuation, it should be some immortal treasure appearing.”
Liuyu Great Emperor said.
“Immortal treasure?”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
This was a good thing.
Immortal treasures, as long as they could become immortal treasures, were refined by immortals using immortal materials.
They were even better than his Immortal Slaying Saber and Black Immortal Battle Armor.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
Thus, Ji Qing and the other two also moved towards the source of the fluctuation.
At this moment, countless cultivators had gathered from all directions.
Human Race, demons, forbidden zone monsters, everything was there.
Everyone looked at the magnificent immortal mansion in the void, their eyes filled with shock.
“An immortal mansion, how can there be such a large immortal mansion?”
“This area… I remember there was a broken immortal arm here before, fought over by many cultivators. Many people also searched this area, but found nothing. I never expected such a huge immortal mansion to be hidden here.”
“An immortal mansion with a spirit, if it wants to hide, no one can find it.”
Someone immediately wanted to fly into the immortal mansion.
As a result, the immortal qi shook, and the person instantly turned to ashes.
That was at least twenty times Great Emperor Combat Power.
They actually turned to ashes.
This showed how terrifying the immortal mansion was.
For a time, many people dared not act rashly.
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing and the other two traversed space and also saw this immortal mansion.
“What a large immortal mansion… I wonder if this immortal mansion has Chaos Origin?”
Ji Qing murmured to himself.
What he lacked now was Chaos Origin.
“There is no Chaos Origin in the immortal mansion, but there might be some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and these heavenly materials and earthly treasures are the key to living out the second life, the third life!”
Grand Beginning Great Emperor said in a deep voice.
A hint of longing appeared in his eyes.
Grand Beginning Great Emperor, like other cultivators, obviously longed to obtain some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to help him live out his second life!
After all, Grand Beginning Great Emperor was not far from Emperor Body Perfection.
“Living out the second life… then it’s really worth fighting for!”
Ji Qing couldn’t be bothered to observe any further.
He directly manifested a body hundreds of feet tall, and used his Emperor Body to activate it, transforming into a giant palm reaching for the immortal mansion.
“Who is it?”
“The immortal mansion’s attack was so terrifying just now, how dare he?”
“So reckless, he’ll probably be crushed by the immortal mansion’s attack.”
Many cultivators were very wary of the immortal mansion.
The attack just now had annihilated a supreme expert with twenty times Great Emperor Combat Power.
Therefore, no one dared to make a move.
Ji Qing’s giant palm landed on the immortal mansion.
Immediately, the immortal mansion trembled slightly.
Terrifying immortal qi attempted to pierce Ji Qing’s palm.
Ji Qing’s body trembled.
This power was indeed very strong.
It even surpassed a hundred times Great Emperor Combat Power.
No wonder no one dared to claim the immortal mansion.
With such terrifying power, basically anyone who touched it would die.
But Ji Qing was not an ordinary Great Emperor.
His Emperor Body Power alone was almost 110 times Great Emperor Combat Power.
If the Third-Tier Giant Spirit God Race Physical Body was added, it could even reach 114 times.
Therefore, the immortal mansion’s attack could only barely shake Ji Qing’s palm, but it could not immediately annihilate or pierce it.
However, Ji Qing’s current strength was not enough to claim the immortal mansion.
Ji Qing immediately stepped out into the void.
At the same time, a black armor appeared on Ji Qing’s body, covering his entire person.
Black Immortal Battle Armor, increasing combat power by fifty times Great Emperor Combat Power!
Thus, Ji Qing personally approached the immortal mansion and grabbed it again with his hand.
“Rumble.”
This time, the immortal mansion was shaken.
Seeing this, many cultivators’ expressions changed.
If Ji Qing took away the immortal mansion, how would they compete for the treasures within it?
Wouldn’t all those treasures go to Ji Qing?
But who dared to go forward?
“That is the Human Race’s Supreme Great Emperor, the most talented individual in history.”
“The Supreme Great Emperor can shake the immortal mansion, at least with over a hundred times Great Emperor Combat Power. Who dares to attack the Supreme Great Emperor?”
“The last one to attack was End Great Emperor, and the Supreme Great Emperor cut off one of End Great Emperor’s lives, causing him to flee in a sorry state, and End Great Emperor has not been seen since.”
“But, are we just going to watch the Supreme Great Emperor take the immortal mansion?”
Many cultivators recognized Ji Qing.
After all, Ji Qing had a great reputation on the Immortal Path.
Especially now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ji Qing was naturally recognized at a glance.
But Ji Qing’s ferocity made many cultivators hesitate.
Ji Qing had indeed genuinely cut off one of End Great Emperor’s lives.
Who dared to underestimate him?
“Supreme Great Emperor, stop…”
Finally, someone spoke.
It was a Demon Emperor emitting a surging demonic aura.
“Look quickly, it’s Silver Moon Demon Emperor!”
“This Silver Moon Demon Emperor’s Emperor Body is close to perfection, with a combat power of eighty times Great Emperor Combat Power. In Demon Immortal City, she is the supreme expert most likely to live out her second life.”
“It is said that Silver Moon Demon Emperor also has a dao companion who has cut out their third life and is famous on the Immortal Path.”
“With Silver Moon Demon Emperor making a move, Supreme Great Emperor might be in trouble.”
“Others might fear Supreme Great Emperor, be wary of Supreme Great Emperor’s ferocity, but Silver Moon Demon Emperor is not afraid…”
Silver Moon Demon Emperor was indeed not afraid of Ji Qing.
Her dao companion had lived out their third life.
Whether in Demon Immortal City or Human Immortal City, she would be given some face.
As long as she came forward, anyone would give her face.
Her Emperor Body was now close to perfection, and she only needed one heavenly material and earthly treasure to attempt living out her second life.
She yearned for it so much.
After all, her lifespan was not much left.
This immortal mansion was currently her only hope.
As everyone knew, a brand new immortal mansion contained numerous treasures.
It was possible there were treasures that could allow one to live out a second life, a third life, or even more lives.
Therefore, she could not allow Ji Qing to take away the immortal mansion.
“A Demon Emperor?”
Ji Qing’s eyes turned cold.
He didn’t care about Silver Moon Demon Emperor, nor her background or status.
If a Demon Emperor wanted to snatch the immortal mansion, she had to ask his saber.
“Clang.”
Ji Qing instantly drew his saber.
This saber strike was as clear and cold as the moon.
There was no earth-shattering roar.
Only silent stillness.
The blade light had just flashed when, the next moment, a look of horror appeared on Silver Moon Demon Emperor’s face.
“No…”
Silver Moon Demon Emperor even manifested her true body as a Demon Emperor at the first opportunity.
But it was useless.
The Immortal Slaying Saber combined with the Black Immortal Battle Armor caused Ji Qing’s current strength to rapidly soar to over two hundred times Great Emperor Combat Power.
What terrifying combat power was this?
With one saber strike, Silver Moon Demon Emperor instantly turned to dust.
Not even a trace of resistance.
Dead!
The dignified Silver Moon Demon Emperor, with over eighty times Great Emperor Combat Power.
Was instantly killed by Ji Qing with a single saber strike.
Silence!
The surroundings suddenly fell silent.
There were hundreds, if not thousands, of cultivators around!
At least over a thousand!
So many cultivators, yet at this moment, they all widened their eyes, not daring to make a sound.
Even shock and terror appeared in their eyes.
Silver Moon Demon Emperor was dead?
How could Ji Qing dare?
After a moment of silence, a clamor erupted from the crowd.
“Dead, Silver Moon Demon Emperor is actually dead? Supreme Great Emperor didn’t even say a word and directly killed Silver Moon Demon Emperor…”
“Was Silver Moon Demon Emperor comparable to the former End Great Emperor? She overestimated herself. In Demon Immortal City, Silver Moon Demon Emperor could act with impunity, everyone gave her face, and her own combat power was sky-high. But she was facing the Supreme Great Emperor of Human Immortal City, who was renowned for his ferocity and had even cut off one life of End Great Emperor of Human Immortal City. Why would he care about Silver Moon Demon Emperor?”
“Is this the true great war of the Immortal Path? It’s terrifying…”
Everyone was shocked.
But Ji Qing acted as if it was a minor matter.
He sheathed his saber.
This was the first time the Immortal Slaying Saber had acted, and the first time it had killed a Demon Emperor.
One trillion Origin Points obtained!
As for Silver Moon Demon Emperor’s identity, Ji Qing didn’t care.
If you want to contend for the immortal mansion, you have to ask the saber in his hand!
A mere Demon Emperor with tens of times Great Emperor Combat Power dares to contend for the immortal mansion?
That is seeking death!
Ji Qing exerted more force.
The immortal mansion was finally shaken and began to be grasped by Ji Qing bit by bit. The immortal mansion rapidly shrank, clearly about to be taken into a spatial treasure by Ji Qing.
As a result, so many cultivators.
Not a single one came forward to stop him.
Among these cultivators, there were indeed some existences of the “foundation” level.
On the Immortal Path, cultivators who had lived out the second life or more were collectively referred to as “foundation” level experts.
Meaning, the foundation of their respective factions.
But whether they were foundation experts who had lived out the second life or the third life.
All of them were stunned by Ji Qing.
None of them dared to make a move.
Finally, Ji Qing directly put the immortal mansion into his spatial treasure.
Ji Qing, wearing the Black Immortal Battle Armor, swept his gaze across the many cultivators.
The cultivators he swept his gaze over lowered their heads.
Ji Qing stood in the void, and thousands of cultivators bowed their heads!
This is the fearsome reputation of Ji Qing today!
Seeing this, Grand Beginning Great Emperor and Liuyu Great Emperor both showed expressions of shock.
At the same time, their hearts were filled with excitement.
They could follow a supreme expert like Ji Qing; how could they worry about not living out a Second Life in the future?
“Swish.”
Ji Qing didn’t linger.
He directly traversed space and vanished without a trace.
After Ji Qing left, the numerous cultivators looked at each other in dismay.
A brutal person!
Absolutely too brutal!
Ji Qing alone, managed to suppress over a thousand cultivators, preventing them from lifting their heads.
If this were in the past, with an Immortal Mansion appearing, wouldn’t cultivators from all sides be fighting to the death?
Many Great Emperors might have perished.
And it would have caused a huge commotion.
But now?
Only Silver Moon Demon Emperor had died.
And another unlucky soul was killed by the Immortal Mansion.
That was all.
With two cultivators dead, the Immortal Mansion was taken by Ji Qing.
In a sense, Ji Qing’s actions had prevented a conflict?
“Such immense ferocity, how many years has it been on the Immortal Path, and I’ve never seen anything like it…”
“The key is that the Supreme Great Emperor has only just shaped his Emperor Body, how could his Strength be this high? It’s simply inconceivable.”
“Silver Moon Demon Emperor has perished, how could her Dao companion let this go?”
“Also, previously the Supreme Great Emperor cut down End Great Emperor’s first life, End Great Emperor has been in hiding for a long time, who knows when he will return like a king and attack Ji Qing.”
“The Supreme Great Emperor has made too many enemies, I fear he won’t go far…”
However, regardless of what happened, the contention for the Immortal Mansion this time ended so anticlimactically.
It might have been the most “peaceful” Treasure contention on the Immortal Path.
Ji Qing returned to Human Immortal City with the Immortal Mansion.
Liuyu Great Emperor and Grand Beginning Great Emperor also congratulated Ji Qing one after another.
As for what Treasures were inside the Immortal Mansion, the two were self-aware and didn’t probe further.
Ji Qing returned to his Cave Dwelling and directly took out the Immortal Mansion.
He was an Emperor Realm cultivator, a Martial Artist, and unable to Refine the Immortal Mansion.
However, this Immortal Mansion didn’t need to be Refined.
Although it was an Immortal Treasure, it wasn’t any Attack or defense Treasure.
It didn’t have much use for Ji Qing.
It was the items within the Immortal Mansion that Ji Qing was very interested in.
Thus, Ji Qing’s Consciousness began to explore deep within the Immortal Mansion.
As a result, as soon as Ji Qing’s Consciousness entered the Immortal Mansion, he saw an unexpected “acquaintance.”
Ji Qing “smiled.”
His expression was even somewhat strange.
This person was actually inside the Immortal Mansion?
Ji Qing thought for a moment, his figure flashed, and he directly left Human Immortal City, heading to the nearby Immortal Path.
Then, Ji Qing immediately extended his hand and grabbed directly towards the inside of the Immortal Mansion.
At this moment, inside the Immortal Mansion.
The previously disappeared End Great Emperor was still exploring the Immortal Mansion.
The more he explored, the more excited End Great Emperor became.
“I never expected to have such an Opportunity, to enter this brand new Immortal Mansion. There are too many Treasures in this Immortal Mansion, there are even Treasures that can let me live out a Third Life!”
“I can rely on the Immortal Mansion Treasures to live out a Third Life, and then cultivate diligently. In the future, I might be able to live out a Fourth Life! Once I live out a Fourth Life, with the power of three lives combined, I will definitely slay Ji Qing!”
End Great Emperor did not forget his hatred.
Especially since Ji Qing had slain his first life, making his Foundation no longer perfect.
This had damaged his Great Dao Foundation.
He hated him to the bone!
However, Ji Qing’s Strength was very high, End Great Emperor knew clearly that even if he lived out a Third Life, he would still not be Ji Qing’s opponent. After all, he had lost one life and had to live out a Fourth Life.
Therefore, he should now endure humiliation and cultivate diligently, waiting for the opportunity!
Especially with the help of the Immortal Mansion, his cultivation path was already smooth sailing.
Just as End Great Emperor was feeling complacent, preparing to diligently cultivate in the Immortal Mansion and soar one day.
Suddenly, a giant palm appeared within the Immortal Mansion.
It almost blotted out the sun, and directly grabbed towards him.
“What?”
End Great Emperor’s mind was shaken.
How could such a large palm suddenly appear?
“No…”
End Great Emperor tried to escape, but he couldn’t escape at all.
The palm descended too quickly, almost instantly seizing him.
Then, the palm rapidly contracted.
“Shua.”
End Great Emperor’s vision blurred.
When he could see his surroundings clearly again, his heart tightened.
“The Immortal Path? I’m actually back on the Immortal Path, who caught me?”
End Great Emperor was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
He saw a cultivator whose entire body was black in front of him.
He had never seen such attire before.
“May I ask who you are? I have no grudges with you…”
“Is that so? Fellow Daoist End, long time no see…”
Before End Great Emperor could finish speaking, the cultivator whose entire body was covered in black Armor retracted his Armor into his body, revealing a face that made End Great Emperor unable to believe his eyes.
“You… Ji Qing, how is this possible?”
End Great Emperor couldn’t believe his eyes.
He was inside the Immortal Mansion.
How did he suddenly fall into Ji Qing’s hands?
Ji Qing waved his hand.
The Immortal Mansion fell into his hand, emitting strong Immortal Qi fluctuations.
“Fellow Daoist End, you indeed had great fortune, to have entered the Immortal Mansion. However, the Immortal Mansion has already been collected by me, it seems your good luck has come to an end…”
Ji Qing’s words caused stormy seas to surge in End Great Emperor’s heart.
The Immortal Mansion had been taken by Ji Qing…
“Fellow Daoist Ji, all that happened before was a misunderstanding, I…”
End Great Emperor didn’t want to die.
He was willing to submit to Ji Qing.
Unfortunately, Ji Qing didn’t need End Great Emperor.
So, Ji Qing clenched his palm tightly.
“No, no…”
End Great Emperor screamed miserably, but it was of no use. Ji Qing gripped him fiercely, his Emperor Body collapsed, and he instantly turned into dust.
This time, End Great Emperor had no first life to substitute for him.
He had completely perished.
End Great Emperor was dead.
To Ji Qing, it didn’t have much impact.
As long as someone was surpassed by him, the gap would only widen.
No one had ever been able to keep up with his pace.
Ji Qing then returned to Human Immortal City.
He still abided by the rules of Human Immortal City.
Even when killing, he did so outside Human Immortal City.
No one could fault him.
However, as soon as Ji Qing returned to Human Immortal City, he found a figure appearing before him.
This was a Great Emperor with white hair and beard.
“Hmm? Fellow Daoist, what is the reason for blocking my path?”
Ji Qing asked.
“Fellow Daoist Ji is clear about grudges and favors, and abides by the rules of Human Immortal City, even killing outside Human Immortal City… You have met the criteria to join the Human Immortal Hall. I, Star Great Emperor, am here on behalf of the Human Immortal Hall to invite Fellow Daoist Ji to join!”
Star Great Emperor directly stated his intention.
“Human Immortal Hall?”
Ji Qing pondered.
He had never heard of a Human Immortal Hall within Human Immortal City.
“Does joining the Human Immortal Hall require an assessment?”
Ji Qing asked.
“Any cultivator in Human Immortal City who has lived out a Second Life can join. But Fellow Daoist Ji is too special; he clearly hasn’t lived out a Second Life, yet his Combat Power is earth-shattering, so there has been much debate regarding the invitation for Fellow Daoist Ji.”
“As early as when Fellow Daoist Ji slew End Great Emperor’s first life, I proposed inviting Fellow Daoist Ji to join, but unfortunately, some Fellow Daoists felt that the rules should not be broken, so it was put on hold until now. However, after Fellow Daoist Ji alone suppressed over a thousand cultivators on the Immortal Path and collected the Immortal Mansion, the controversy has almost disappeared.”
“Therefore, I have come to invite Fellow Daoist.”
Ji Qing understood.
This “Human Immortal Hall” was comprised of powerful individuals who had lived out a Second Life.
They could be considered the “ruling” class of Human Immortal City.
Even though Ji Qing had lived in Human Immortal City before, he didn’t know where these experts who had lived out a Second Life or more were.
It turned out it was because he hadn’t joined the “Human Immortal Hall.”
No wonder he didn’t know anything.
“This is a good thing, Ji Mou thanks Star Great Daoist!”
Ji Qing immediately agreed.
Moreover, he could tell that this Star Great Emperor was likely his supporter and was very friendly towards him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent Star Great Emperor to recruit him.
“Good, your joining is the fortune of my Human Immortal City! Please come with me to the Human Immortal Hall now, many Fellow Daoists are waiting to get acquainted and communicate with you.”
“Ji Mou will obey your arrangements.”
Thus, Ji Qing followed behind Star Great Emperor and quickly flew towards the depths of Human Immortal City.
In the depths of Human Immortal City, there was a Great Hall, very mysterious.
Many Great Emperors, Supreme Experts, were basically unable to enter.
Because this was the Human Immortal Hall.
Only powerful individuals who had lived out a Second Life or more could enter, it was the Foundation of Human Immortal City!
At this moment, Ji Qing entered the Human Immortal Hall, led by Star Great Emperor.
“Shua.”
Glances immediately fell upon Ji Qing.
Ji Qing scanned the area.
There were at least two hundred experts.
Star Great Emperor smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist Ji, before you, the Human Immortal Hall had three hundred and fifty-nine members. Now, including Fellow Daoist Ji, there are still three hundred and fifty-nine members.”
“Not three hundred and sixty?”
This was a very simple math problem.
Star Great Emperor said meaningfully, “Just now, Fellow Daoist Ji killed End Great Emperor, so the Human Immortal Hall naturally had to initiate the procedure to remove End Great Emperor’s name, so naturally, there are only three hundred and fifty-nine.”
Ji Qing instantly understood.
However, this number also greatly surprised Ji Qing.
Three hundred and fifty-nine!
Each of them had lived out at least a Second Life, and most had over a hundred times Great Emperor Combat Power.
Ji Qing had been in Human Immortal City for so long, he had only seen End Great Emperor live out two lives.
Who would have thought Human Immortal City’s Foundation was so deep?
There were over three hundred experts who had lived out a Second Life or more?
It truly opened Ji Qing’s eyes!
Star Great Emperor then brought over a few more Great Emperors.
He formed a small circle with Ji Qing.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, these three are Myriad Phenomena Great Emperor, Destruction Great Emperor, and Nine Extremes Great Emperor; they are all my old friends.”
Ji Qing cupped his fists and said, “Greetings, three Fellow Daoists.”
“Haha, like our Fellow Daoist Star, when Fellow Daoist Ji annihilated the first life of End Great Emperor back then, we advocated for Ji Qing to join the Human Immortal Hall. But it was obstructed by some Human Immortal Hall members. Only now, with the Human Immortal Hall aware of your strength, have they stopped obstructing your joining.”
The one who spoke was Myriad Phenomena Great Emperor.
Ji Qing instantly understood.
These three Great Emperors were likely part of the same “circle” as Star Great Emperor, all supporting Ji Qing.
The objective was also simple.
They wanted to draw Ji Qing into their circle.
Ji Qing naturally did not refuse.
These Great Emperors all had a good impression of him; birds of a feather flock together, and he was naturally willing to join such a small circle.
“Fellow Daoists, once the Emperor Body reaches perfection, how many lifetimes can one live?”
Ji Qing asked.
This was the question he most wanted to ask.
No one had asked before, but now, with so many Great Emperors who had lived multiple lifetimes, he had to seize the opportunity to ask.
Star Great Emperor smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist Ji, you may not know, but once the Emperor Body reaches perfection, it is extremely difficult to live even a second life. However, overall, the most one can live is nine lifetimes. After the ninth life, it is the nine lives merging into one, achieving Mortal Immortal!”
“Mortal Immortal? Can one still become an immortal on the Immortal Path now?”
Ji Qing’s face showed an expression of “shock.”
However, Ji Qing actually knew about Mortal Immortals.
He had already made some guesses before.
But it wasn’t until Star Great Emperor personally stated it that Ji Qing realized his guess had become reality.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, Mortal Immortals are different from ordinary immortals. It requires reincarnation for nine lifetimes to achieve immortality in the mortal world. However, there are differences in how one reincarnates for nine lifetimes. In the past, when Immortal Spiritual Energy was abundant, some Great Emperors used Immortal Spiritual Energy to live out nine lifetimes and then merge them to achieve Mortal Immortal.”
“Later, others achieved Mortal Immortal by living out nine lifetimes through other methods. But we use Origin to live out nine lifetimes. Once the nine lifetimes merge to achieve Mortal Immortal, our strength far surpasses that of previous Mortal Immortals.”
Ji Qing suddenly understood.
Liuyu Great Emperor had once mentioned that with the Immortal Path severed, new cultivation methods had actually caused Great Emperors’ strength to surge, far exceeding what it was before.
Mortal Immortals also had distinctions.
The Method of the Mortal Immortal could be achieved through various means.
Achieving immortality in the mortal world could be done using Immortal Spiritual Energy, or other means, such as the emotions of sentient beings, and various strange methods could all lead to achieving immortality in the mortal world.
But the actual combat power was vastly different.
And Mortal Immortals achieved through Origin currently were the strongest Mortal Immortals in history in terms of combat power!
“Fellow Daoist Ji, achieving Mortal Immortal is difficult. For many Great Emperors, living for one or two lifetimes to extend their lifespan is already quite good. Overall, living out two or three lifetimes is relatively easy.”
“But to live out a fourth life, the difficulty level rises a notch. Most Human Immortal Hall members have only lived out two or three lives. Four, five, and six lives are each more difficult than the last, but compared to seven lives, they are mere trifles.”
“Rumor has it that to live out seven lives, special treasures are needed. And whether such special treasures still exist is hard to say. Therefore, for a long time, there have been no powerful individuals who have lived out a seventh life on the Immortal Path… As for Mortal Immortals who merge nine lives into one, such beings, even if they stood before us, we likely wouldn’t recognize them.”
Ji Qing pondered.
He naturally understood what Star Great Emperor meant.
Mortal Immortal, achieving immortality in the mortal world, was like an ordinary person.
If placed in the mortal world, they would be completely lost.
No distinction could be seen.
Within the Human Immortal Hall, the fourth life was one hurdle, and the seventh life was another.
Ji Qing also learned that Star Great Emperor, Myriad Phenomena Great Emperor, and other members of the small circle were all at the “three lives” cultivation level.
Therefore, their acceptance of Ji Qing also meant they considered Ji Qing a member of the “three lives” category.
Upon closer thought, Ji Qing’s combat power, being more than a hundred to two hundred times that of a Great Emperor, was indeed around the strength of three lifetimes.
“Are there any benefits to being a member of the Human Immortal Hall?”
Ji Qing asked.
Without benefits, would so many powerful individuals gather here?
Difficult.
A mere empty name/fame could not possibly win over so many powerhouses.
“Of course, there are benefits. The greatest benefit is Origin! The Human Immortal Hall controls many special areas of the Immortal Path, where Origin is occasionally born. And this Origin then belongs to all members of the Human Immortal Hall as resources.”
“As long as one contributes to the Human Immortal Hall, they can get priority to exchange for Origin. Besides Origin, various Emperor Weapons, Half-Immortal Treasures, and so on, can all be exchanged. As for contribution, besides completing certain tasks for the Human Immortal Hall, which grant contribution, one can also sell their own Half-Immortal Treasures, Emperor Weapons, and so on, to the Human Immortal Hall to gain contribution.”
“For example, the Immortal Mansion that Fellow Daoist Ji obtained this time. That is a true Immortal Treasure; if exchanged for Human Immortal Hall contribution, it would be immense.”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
Origin?
No wonder cultivators who had lived out two or three lifetimes could quickly reach Emperor Body Perfection in two or three lives.
It turned out they could exchange for Origin in the Human Immortal Hall.
What about Chaos Origin?
“Does the Human Immortal Hall have Chaos Origin for exchange?”
Ji Qing asked.
“Chaos Origin is different; it’s too rare, and everyone needs Chaos Origin. Occasionally, the Human Immortal Hall might have some, but once it appears, it’s immediately exchanged…”
Ji Qing was somewhat disappointed.
But upon reflection, it made sense.
If Chaos Origin wasn’t precious, why would almost all cultivators on the Immortal Path vie for it?
However, Ji Qing’s Emperor Body, shaped by eleven Supreme Laws, could only be perfected by Chaos Origin; other Origins were incompatible with these eleven Supreme Laws.
This was also a slight “price” Ji Qing had to pay for his combat power far exceeding other Great Emperors.
Ji Qing roughly understood.
The Human Immortal Hall was like a platform.
There was no compulsion.
It was not a sect or force.
Ji Qing had killed End Great Emperor right under the Human Immortal Hall’s nose, and the Human Immortal Hall had done nothing.
Everyone used the Human Immortal Hall to communicate and obtain the resources they needed.
Ji Qing looked around.
The Human Immortal Hall was divided into three circles.
The largest circle consisted of cultivators of two and three lives.
Then came those of four to six lives.
Those of seven lives or more were few, seated with transcendent status in the Human Immortal Hall.
Ji Qing then went to examine the various resources and treasures that could be exchanged in the Human Immortal Hall.
It had to be said that they were quite comprehensive.
However, Ji Qing currently had zero contribution.
Thus, he could not exchange anything.
“Everyone, I currently need a lot of Chaos Origin. If you have any news about Chaos Origin, please inform Ji Mou.”
Ji Qing said solemnly.
“No problem, if there is any news, we will inform Fellow Daoist immediately.”
Star Great Emperor and the others all nodded in agreement.
This was not a difficult matter.
“Alright, then I’ll trouble all Fellow Daoists!”
Thus, Ji Qing and the others left the Human Immortal Hall.
Ji Qing returned to his Cave Dwelling.
He immediately took out the Immortal Mansion.
The biggest gain this time was the Immortal Mansion.
He hadn’t properly inventoried the treasures inside yet.
Ji Qing immediately entered the Immortal Mansion.
“Another Immortal Corpse?”
Ji Qing saw an Immortal Corpse.
But it looked quite damaged.
One arm was missing.
Moreover, although it was also an Immortal Corpse, this one’s aura did not seem as powerful as that of the Immortal Lord Corpse.
In fact, it was far from it.
However, this further highlighted the extraordinary nature of the Immortal Lord Corpse.
The Immortal Corpse was not important; the Immortal Mansion was.
An Immortal Mansion was not comparable to an Immortal Lord’s Tomb.
This was a genuine Cave Dwelling of an Immortal.
It was a portable Cave Dwelling.
It contained the treasures of an Immortal.
This was the most important thing.
Ji Qing began to search for treasures slowly.
End Great Emperor searched for treasures within the Immortal Mansion, primarily seeking items that could allow one to live out a third life.
He had placed great hope in the Immortal Mansion, believing it should contain such items.
Ji Qing also believed it should.
“So many Immortal Crystals, unfortunately, I can’t use them.”
Ji Qing saw a large pile of Immortal Crystals.
If his Emperor Body had been shaped by Immortal Spiritual Energy, then Immortal Crystals would have been useful.
But Ji Qing used Chaos Origin, making these Immortal Crystals largely useless.
Their only use might be to activate certain Immortal Treasures.
However, besides this Cave Dwelling, there were no other Immortal Treasures.
Clearly, even for Immortals, Immortal Treasures were very valuable.
Ji Qing cautiously opened a Secret Chamber.
Inside, there was a dazzling array of materials.
Ji Qing then went to the back of the Immortal Mansion.
“Huh, a Medicinal Garden?”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
It was a Medicinal Garden?
Inside the Medicinal Garden of the Immortal Mansion, there were even some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures growing.
How many years had it been?
A dense life aura permeated the garden.
“Is this… a Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus? It can be used to live out a second life!”
Ji Qing saw a lotus.
It was colorful and dazzling.
Besides the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus, there were likely other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Perhaps they could allow one to live out another life.
Indeed, the Immortal Mansion contained treasures that could allow one to live out a second or even a third life.
Ji Qing searched the entire Immortal Mansion.
Ji Qing was very satisfied with the Immortal Mansion.
He could also cultivate within the Immortal Mansion.
This was better than any Cave Dwelling.
Time passed day by day.
In the blink of an eye, another ten years had passed.
On this day, Ji Qing received a Communication Talisman from Myriad Phenomena Great Emperor.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, hurry to the Human Immortal Hall, there’s news about Chaos Origin.”
Upon seeing the Communication Talisman, Ji Qing immediately traversed Space and arrived at the Human Immortal Hall.
Ji Qing saw that Myriad Phenomena Great Emperor, Star Great Emperor, Destruction Great Emperor, and Nine Extremes Great Emperor, all four Great Emperors, were present.
Furthermore, the number of people in the Human Immortal Hall was greater than last time.
“Fellow Daoists, where is the news about Chaos Origin?”
Ji Qing asked.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, the Human Immortal Hall has just issued a task: to go to the Northwest region of the Immortal Path and seize a newly discovered Immortal Path Secret Realm. On the Immortal Path, newly born secret realms often come with Chaos Origin, and in the future, they will continuously produce other forms of Origin.”
“Therefore, whenever a new secret realm is born on the Immortal Path, the Forbidden Zone, Human Immortal City, and Demon Immortal City will fiercely contend for it. Every member of the Human Immortal Hall can apply to participate in this task. Once the application is approved, a member of the Human Immortal Hall can travel to the Immortal Path Secret Realm.”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
“Then I’ll apply.”
“We thought the same; let’s apply together.”
Thus, Ji Qing and the other four Great Emperors applied together.
Soon, all five applications were approved, and they all received the specific coordinates of the new Immortal Path Secret Realm.
“Let’s go.”
Thus, the five people immediately left Human Immortal City, traversing the void towards the Immortal Path Secret Realm.
Soon, Ji Qing and the other four arrived at the area where the Immortal Path Secret Realm was located.
Many Demon Immortal City cultivators and Forbidden Zone Monsters had also arrived.
Seeing Ji Qing and the other four, they did not conceal their hostility at all.
“Hurry into the secret realm, don’t delay, or you won’t even get a sip of the soup.”
Star Cultivation Great Emperor said in a deep voice.
“Okay.”
Ji Qing no longer hesitated and immediately flew into the secret realm.
As soon as they entered the secret realm.
“Boom.”
Terrifying energy spread in all directions.
“Five-Life Great Emperor!”
Star Cultivation Great Emperor and the others’ expressions changed.
The one who had just attacked was a Five-Life Great Emperor, fighting against a Forbidden Zone Monster.
As for the treasure being contended for, it was naturally the Chaos Origin.
Moreover, there was quite a lot of Chaos Origin.
However, before Ji Qing could make a move, a Demon Emperor had already acted.
The other party had concealed their aura.
Or perhaps they were skilled in stealth, and had actually crept up to the Chaos Origin.
Then, they directly grabbed with a large hand.
They fiercely snatched a large pile of Chaos Origin and turned to flee without the slightest hesitation.
“Clang.”
In an instant, a dazzling blade light cut through the void.
The terrifying might, exceeding two hundred times Great Emperor Combat Power, fell upon this Demon Emperor.
“Ah…”
The Demon Emperor screamed.
This was a Third Life Demon Emperor.
Ji Qing’s blade light was terrifying; the opponent’s third-life combat power, at most, could only rival 180 times Great Emperor Combat Power.
It was indeed weaker than Ji Qing.
Caught off guard by Ji Qing’s blade light.
They were severely injured.
It was more than just severe injury.
One of the opponent’s life-bodies instantly collapsed.
This was one strike that severed one of their life-bodies, truly brutal.
The Demon Emperor was horrified and no longer dared to covet the Chaos Origin.
They directly threw out the Chaos Origin.
Then they immediately fled, barely managing to save their life.
Ji Qing grabbed with a large hand.
The Chaos Origin obtained by the Demon Emperor immediately fell into his hands.
However, Ji Qing didn’t have time to be happy.
Just then, a gaping maw swallowed fiercely towards Ji Qing.
And it wasn’t just targeting Ji Qing.
It was targeting Ji Qing and the other four!
This was that Five-Life Demon Emperor.
The Five-Life Great Emperor who was fighting it had, at some unknown time, broken free and directly scooped up the remaining Chaos Origin.
Only Ji Qing and the other four were left as targets, bearing the Five-Life Demon Emperor’s wrath.
Ji Qing had just slain the life-body of a Third Life Demon Emperor and obtained Chaos Origin, a great harvest.
But now, he was immediately targeted by the Five-Life Demon Emperor and fell into a crisis.
“Block!”
“It’s the Five-Life Demon Emperor, we can’t hold on…”
“What should we do?”
“Do we have to abandon a life-body? I’m unwilling…”
Star Cultivation Great Emperor and Myriad Phenomena Great Emperor’s expressions changed drastically.
They were a bit unlucky.
They hadn’t even done anything yet, just arrived at the secret realm, and were already caught in the crossfire.
But this is how it is when contending for Chaos Origin.
No one knows when danger will strike.
Even Ji Qing felt immense terror.
A Five-Life Demon Emperor, even calculating one life-body of a Demon Emperor as 60 times Great Emperor Combat Power, would mean the Five-Life Demon Emperor has 300 times Great Emperor Combat Power.
If it was higher than 60 times Great Emperor Combat Power, the Five-Life Demon Emperor’s strength would be even more terrifying.
However, judging from the Five-Life Demon Emperor’s actions, it should be around 300 times Great Emperor Combat Power.
This was already terrifying.
Ji Qing currently only had a little over two hundred times Great Emperor Combat Power.
It was far beyond Ji Qing.
However, this did not account for Ji Qing’s “Curse Body.”
The Curse Body belongs to an Eternal Universe cultivation system independent of the Law system.
Naturally, the two could not stack their combat power.
However, this did not mean the Curse Body was useless.
On the contrary, Ji Qing had never fully unleashed the Curse Body to its full extent.
Even Ji Qing did not know the exact Might of the Curse Body.
He could only speculate that it might be comparable to over a hundred times Great Emperor Combat Power.
Now Ji Qing no longer had to speculate.
He had fallen into a crisis.
“Hum.”
The next moment, Ji Qing unleashed his Curse Body without hesitation.
And directly enveloped the Five-Life Demon Emperor within the Curse Body.
Instantly, countless streams of Curse Power densely eroded the Five-Life Demon Emperor.
The pressure on Ji Qing and the other four suddenly eased.
Clearly, the Curse Body’s attack was effective!
“Hurry and leave!”
Ji Qing shouted.
The other four Great Emperors naturally fled immediately.
Ji Qing also didn’t hesitate; after the Curse Body stunned the Five-Life Demon Emperor, he also traversed the secret realm and left immediately.
“Rumble.”
The Five-Life Demon Emperor was extremely furious.
Mere Third Life Great Emperors actually escaped from him?
Furthermore, he didn’t even get a single piece of Chaos Origin.
He was utterly enraged.
Unfortunately, Ji Qing and the others had already fled.
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing emerged from space.
His body was still a bit unsteady.
He glanced at his Curse Body.
Fortunately, although it suffered some damage, it was not significant.
The Curse Body naturally couldn’t defeat the Five-Life Demon Emperor, but due to the element of surprise, it did indeed tie down the Five-Life Demon Emperor, allowing the five of them to escape.
“That was too dangerous, we were just a step away from having to abandon a life-body. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ji.”
The other four also had lingering fear.
“En?”
“So many cultivators?”
“This is… Chaos Origin? So much Chaos Origin?”
Ji Qing and the others suddenly felt something was wrong.
There were too many cultivators here.
However, most of them were cultivators at the Two-Life and Three-Life levels.
There were Fourth Generation and above, but very few.
Yet, there was no shortage of Chaos Origin.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
It was a complete free-for-all, with everyone madly snatching the Chaos Origin.
This was a golden opportunity, and Ji Qing would not be polite at all.
“Hum.”
The next moment, Ji Qing immediately released his Curse Body, enveloping an area of a million miles instantly.
Instantly, terrifying Curse Power filled the area of a million miles.
All the cultivators felt a jolt in their hearts.
They felt an invisible, great terror.
The formless, invisible Curse Power was frantically eroding their Emperor Bodies.
Ji Qing, taking advantage of this opportunity, reached for the Chaos Origin.
“Collect.”
A large amount of Chaos Origin fell into Ji Qing’s hands.
“Put down the Chaos Origin!”
“You’re seeking death!”
Terrifying attacks from all directions furiously rained down on Ji Qing.
With so many attacks.
Let alone a Three-Life Great Emperor, even a Five-Life or Six-Life Great Emperor would likely be directly annihilated.
But Ji Qing, clad in the Black Immortal Battle Armor, revealed a smile.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing instantly disappeared without a trace.
