Chapter 273: Giant Spirit Race Physical Body Breakthrough! Ji Qing Obtains Three Corpses Fruit, Slays Three Corpses To Attain The Dao!
In Golden Toad Palace, Ji Qing had been waiting for a month.
Finally, he received news.
“Ji Qing, come to Purple Void Palace at once.”
This was a Communication Talisman from his Master, Zi Xu Immortal Venerable.
“The quota has finally been finalized?”
This past month, Ji Qing had also been inquiring about the “Chaos Space.” There was little news, but he had a general understanding of what a great Opportunity the Chaos Space was.
Many Immortal Venerables were vying for this Opportunity.
During this past month, Ji Qing had not been idle.
On the contrary, during this month, he had cultivated the Void Immortal Spirit Art to the Beginner level and directly used 3 Immortal Points to raise it to Perfection.
After the Void Immortal Spirit Art reached Perfection, Ji Qing clearly felt that his cultivation speed had increased significantly.
However, the progress of his Perfect Immortal Spiritual Body had only increased by 1%. Based on Ji Qing’s rough estimate, even with a Perfect Void Immortal Spirit Art, it would take at least several hundred years for his Perfect Immortal Spiritual Body to reach Perfection.
In reality, this was already very fast.
But unfortunately, Ji Qing’s own cultivation time was very short.
He could not bear to spend several hundred years dryly improving his Perfect Immortal Spiritual Body.
Therefore, this trip to the Chaos Space was Ji Qing’s Opportunity.
In the Chaos Space, anything is possible!
Ji Qing arrived at Purple Void Palace.
“Disciple greets Master!”
Ji Qing bowed to Zi Xu Immortal Venerable.
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable looked somewhat haggard.
Indeed, she was tired from scheming against a few old things during this period.
Although this quota was indeed hers, it was also related to the sect, and even had a slight connection with other Immortal Venerables. If no one had any needs, then it would be nothing.
But now that Zi Xu Immortal Venerable insisted on using the quota, and giving it to Ji Qing, it was a different matter.
Many “Immortal Venerables” had come forward in various ways to demand this quota.
“Ji Qing, regarding the Chaos Space quota, I have done my best to secure it for you. However, this quota is very complicated. For you to obtain it, it’s not enough for me and a few old things to argue. You must also make others genuinely convinced, do you understand?”
Ji Qing pondered.
“Master, are you saying I need to compete with other True Immortals?”
“It can’t be called competition, it’s just that some old things are unwilling. What you need to do is make them genuinely convinced.”
“Disciple understands.”
Ji Qing nodded.
“You are a Mortal Immortal; I believe in your Strength! Wait here for now.”
Ji Qing then sat down and waited quietly.
About an hour later, three Immortal Venerables arrived with three True Immortals.
“Swish.”
The gazes of the three True Immortals and Ji Qing collided in the void.
The undisguised fighting intent also made Ji Qing understand.
The ones competing with him for the Chaos Space quota were likely these three True Immortals.
Ji Qing had never seen these three True Immortals, nor did he know them.
Seeing the three Immortal Venerables arrive, Zi Xu Immortal Venerable did not show any intention of standing up.
The three Immortal Venerables did not mind.
This time, there had indeed been some unpleasantness among the Immortal Venerables.
But they all had disciples and had to consider their own disciples.
“Zi Xu Immortal Venerable, these are the disciples of the three of us. The final victor will obtain the Chaos Space quota! Do you have any objections?”
“Hmph, you’ve said everything, what objections could I possibly have? If I had objections, would you all be willing to concede?”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable said coldly.
“Since there are no objections, let’s begin.”
One of the Immortal Venerables said.
“Wait a moment.”
Ji Qing said calmly, “Esteemed Immortal Venerables, this disciple has a question: can one kill in this competition?”
“Boom.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the Immortal Venerables narrowed slightly.
Kill?
They naturally understood what he meant.
“It’s just sparring; killing is not allowed! However, you don’t need to hold back. If there’s real danger, we will intervene, but once we intervene, it means you forfeit.”
Ji Qing understood.
In front of Immortal Venerables, there was indeed no need for restraint.
If even Immortal Venerables could not stop the attacks of True Immortals, then they would not be Immortal Venerables.
“Alright, who will challenge Ji Qing first?”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable said coldly.
This time, the contention for the Chaos Space quota was for these three True Immortals to challenge Ji Qing.
“This disciple is willing to challenge True Immortal Ji!”
One of the True Immortals, dressed in blue robes, stepped forward.
“That’s True Immortal Lin Yuan. He achieved True Immortal in just thirteen hundred years and is only one step away from Immortal Lord. Be careful.”
Ji Qing heard his Master’s voice in his ear.
Lin Yuan was briefly introduced.
An Immortal Venerable waved his hand, separating the two.
“Begin.”
“Clang.”
Ji Qing drew his sword without any hesitation.
Void Merging Immortal Art and Saber Array Technique merged.
The moment Ji Qing drew his saber, Blade Light had already reached Lin Yuan.
“What?”
“This is… Void Merging Immortal Art? Even Blade Light can traverse space, and the saber strike is guaranteed to hit! I didn’t expect this child to have cultivated the Void Merging Immortal Art to Perfection…”
Ji Qing’s skills were superb.
But they couldn’t be hidden from Immortal Venerables.
Perfecting the Void Merging Immortal Art was not easy.
It was almost impossible to perfect any Immortal Technique.
As long as one had a perfected Immortal Technique, their Strength would definitely not be weak.
“And another Saber Technique Immortal Technique… if I’m not mistaken, it should be Saber Array Technique, also perfected!”
Two perfected Immortal Techniques.
Instantly, even the Immortal Venerables were very surprised.
As Ji Qing’s Blade Light instantly reached Lin Yuan, a Shield appeared in front of Lin Yuan.
An Immortal Treasure!
And a defensive Immortal Treasure at that.
Of course, it was only at the True Immortal level.
It wasn’t that Immortal Venerables were unwilling to part with Immortal Lord level Immortal Treasures, but once an Immortal Lord level Immortal Treasure was bestowed, it would break the rules.
Similar to Ji Qing, using Immortal Lord level Immortal Treasures was not allowed.
“Crack.”
The Blade Light fiercely struck the Shield.
Instantly, cracks appeared on the Shield.
The Shield shattered.
“Impossible…”
Lin Yuan’s eyes widened. He could not believe what he was seeing.
He knew very well how strong the defensive power of his Shield Immortal Treasure was.
Even if ten or eight True Immortals attacked him together, they couldn’t do anything to the Shield.
But now, the Shield had actually cracked?
Moreover, the Blade Light contained terrifying sharpness. Once the Shield cracked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But the Shield had still cracked.
The remaining Blade Light had lost more than half of its power.
Yet, even with more than half of its power reduced, the Blade Light that struck Lin Yuan caused him to cry out in pain, his Immortal Spirit Body instantly cracking.
With just one strike, Lin Yuan was heavily injured.
If there were another strike, Lin Yuan would surely die!
“I concede.”
Lin Yuan conceded.
He lowered his head and flew out of the Immortal Treasure.
He no longer had the proud demeanor from before.
Facing Ji Qing, Lin Yuan was completely crushed.
He had no power to fight back.
The remaining two True Immortals, however, all changed their expressions.
After all, they believed their Strength was similar to Lin Yuan’s, both being on par.
Since Lin Yuan had been defeated so miserably, how well could they fare?
However, doing nothing was not an option.
Thus, the second True Immortal stepped forward.
Then, it was even more tragic.
This time, Ji Qing increased his power.
Not only did he shatter the Immortal Treasure, but the Blade Light even split the opponent in two.
“Ah…”
The True Immortal cried out in pain.
If not for the timely intervention of the Immortal Venerable, he would have died.
But, what could the Immortal Venerable say?
Because, from beginning to end, Ji Qing had only used one move.
He had only unleashed one saber strike.
Not even being able to block one strike was utterly humiliating.
What further competition was there for the quota?
“There’s one last one, come!”
Ji Qing stood calmly within the Immortal Treasure, his gaze fixed on the last True Immortal.
The last True Immortal gritted his teeth and was about to step forward.
But the Immortal Venerable behind him sighed and said, “Forget it, I concede!”
In fact, everyone could see that Ji Qing’s Strength among True Immortals was terrifying.
These Immortal Venerables could vaguely guess that Ji Qing was a Mortal Immortal.
They knew from legends that Mortal Immortals possessed great Strength.
But they had no concrete understanding of just how strong they were.
They still thought that with powerful Immortal Treasures bestowed upon them, and some powerful Immortal Techniques from their disciples, they could defeat Ji Qing.
But once they actually acted, they realized they were gravely mistaken.
Ji Qing’s Immortal Techniques were perfected.
His Immortal Spirit Body was even more powerful.
Let alone three of them fighting Ji Qing one-on-one, even if the three of them teamed up, they might not be a match for Ji Qing.
This time, Zi Xu Immortal Venerable had won!
“Zi Xu, the Chaos quota belongs to Ji Qing. We will no longer obstruct!”
“Mortal Immortals… we all underestimated Mortal Immortals.”
“Very well, this also shows that Ji Qing is indeed the top True Immortal within Xu Mi Immortal Sect. I have no objections to Ji Qing obtaining the Chaos Space quota.”
The three Immortal Venerables gave their clear replies.
Genuinely convinced!
They would no longer prevent Ji Qing from going to the Chaos Space.
Of course, Zi Xu Immortal Venerable’s role in this was naturally significant.
If Ji Qing had not become a disciple of Zi Xu Immortal Venerable, even if he were truly the number one True Immortal of Xu Mi Immortal Sect, would the Chaos Space quota have ever come to him?
Absolutely not!
Having support from behind made a difference.
Even if there was still a competition, there was at least the qualification to compete.
If there was no backing, there wasn’t even the qualification to compete.
“Ji Qing, you’ve done very well. This time, no one will dare to speak ill of you again. This Chaos Space spot is rightfully yours!”
“Now, I, your Master, will take you to Chaos Space.”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable immediately rose and, with a wave of her hand, pulled Ji Qing into the Immortal Treasure.
“Whoosh.”
The Immortal Treasure instantly vanished without a trace.
“Chaos exists above the Thirty-three Heavens. The Immortal Realm has Thirty-three Heavens. Our Xu Mi Immortal Sect is located in the First Heaven. However, the Thirty-three Heavens do not represent superiority or inferiority; they are all roughly the same.”
“Regarding Chaos Space, many people suspect it is where the Thirty-fourth Heaven is being nurtured. After all, initially, it is said that the Immortal Realm only had Three Heavens. But as time passed, it gradually became Thirty-three Heavens. It is therefore normal for the Thirty-fourth Heaven to appear now. The Thirty-three Heavens of the Immortal Realm have persisted for far too long.”
“The history of the Immortal Realm is immeasurable. Even the most ancient Immortals do not know how long the Immortal Realm has truly existed. It is said that the emergence of each Heaven is accompanied by earth-shattering opportunities. This is precisely why so many cultivators venture into Chaos Space.”
Ji Qing’s heart trembled.
This was likely a secret of the Immortal Realm.
Perhaps, only Immortal Venerables knew one or two things about it.
“Master, when I was in the Lower Realm, I heard that the Eternal Universe and the Immortal Realm were at war. Now that I am even in the Immortal Realm, I don’t feel that way…”
Ji Qing couldn’t help but ask.
He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
In the Lower Realm, Ji Qing had felt as though the Immortal Realm was on the brink of collapse.
After all, the Eternal Universe had attacked the Immortal Realm and held the upper hand.
But upon arriving in the Immortal Realm, the war with the so-called Eternal Universe seemed to have disappeared.
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable smiled slightly: “Ji Qing, in truth, our Immortal Realm, as a whole, can be seen as a universe, even vaster in scale than the Eternal Universe. Due to various reasons, the two universes drew near to each other, even colliding. From then on, the two universes became adjacent, allowing entry into each other’s realms.”
“Thus, the first war broke out. The powerful beings from the Thirty-three Heavens of the Immortal Realm surged forth, pushing through the Eternal Universe like a hot knife through butter. However, after prolonged warfare over countless years, the Immortal Realm was ultimately unable to destroy the Eternal Universe. Over time, the Immortals became unwilling to venture into the Eternal Universe, allowing the Eternal Universe to then invade the Immortal Realm.”
“But that was all. The Eternal Universe could not advance much within the Immortal Realm either; both sides essentially reached a stalemate. While the war is indeed ongoing, it is merely skirmishes, at most at the Immortal Venerable level. No one higher has intervened. Rather than a war between two universes, it is more like two universes honing each other’s cultivators.”
“To this day, neither side can overcome the other, and instead, they have begun contending in the Lower Realms, which is of little significance…”
Ji Qing’s heart was thrown into stormy seas.
He had truly believed that the Eternal Universe and the Immortal Realm were locked in a life-or-death struggle.
The result? Just this?
The Immortal Realm was far more powerful than he had imagined.
The Eternal Universe was not as formidable as he had thought.
The so-called wars between the two sides were now just minor conflicts.
In the eyes of the higher-ups, they held little significance.
Yet, for many in the Lower Realms, these conflicts were critical to their survival.
For example, the Black Ruins.
If this continued, the Black Ruins might even be destroyed.
“You wish to save your home world, don’t you?”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable said.
“Yes, Master. Can the Immortal Path accommodate Immortal Venerables descending to the Lower Realm?”
Ji Qing asked.
“The Immortal Path cannot accommodate Immortal Venerables descending. Moreover, even if Immortal Venerables could descend, could those worlds withstand an Immortal Venerable?”
Ji Qing’s eyes, however, lit up.
This meant that Immortal Lords were the strongest force that could descend to the Lower Realm.
Thus, it was the same for the Eternal Universe.
For Ji Qing to save the Black Ruins, it was actually very simple.
He could sweep through the Eternal Universe.
He could even seal the passage between the Eternal Universe and the Black Ruins.
However, that would require immense power.
He would need to be invincible among Immortal Lords.
“Ji Qing, when you achieve the Immortal Lord realm, with your strength, you will be able to save your home world.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Ji Qing finally understood why the Mortal Immortals of the Black Ruins ascended to the Immortal Realm.
It was likely to achieve the Immortal Lord realm and then return to the Black Ruins.
Only then could the Black Ruins be truly saved.
Ji Qing’s current strength was already formidable, possessing the combat power of an Immortal Lord.
But he was still far from being invincible among Immortal Lords.
Returning to the Black Ruins now would not be enough to save it.
Therefore, in the final analysis, his strength was still insufficient!
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable was also very pleased.
Ji Qing, having ascended to the Immortal Realm, still cared about his homeland, indicating his strong sense of loyalty and righteousness.
Although she was not a cultivator who ascended, Zi Xu Immortal Venerable had also risen from weakness to become an Immortal Venerable, and her home world had long since become prosperous because of her.
Therefore, Zi Xu Immortal Venerable also liked Ji Qing’s loyal and righteous nature.
After an unknown duration of travel.
Finally, the Immortal Treasure stopped.
Ji Qing followed behind Zi Xu Immortal Venerable and left the Immortal Treasure.
As soon as he left the Immortal Treasure, Ji Qing was swept by a terrifying wind.
This wind was extremely fearsome.
It almost injured his Immortal Spirit Body.
Mind you, he possessed a Perfect Immortal Spiritual Body.
How could a mere gust of wind injure him?
Yet, that was precisely what happened.
“This is above the Thirty-three Heavens. That wind just now blew from Chaos Space and is known as Chaos Wind. Even a slightly weaker Immortal Spirit Body would be directly blown apart. If it were a Void Immortal, being hit by this Chaos Wind would be fatal!”
Ji Qing’s heart tightened.
Chaos Wind?
Just a small gust of wind possessed such terrifying might.
How much more terrifying must Chaos Space itself be?
“Ji Qing, this is a Chaos Token. The qualification for Chaos Space is a Chaos Token. Our Xu Mi Immortal Sect has only this single Chaos Token. Therefore, you must use it cautiously.”
“This Chaos Token can only protect you on the outer periphery of Chaos Space and will last for a maximum of ten years. Once the time is up, you must leave Chaos Space, or you will become lost within it until your complete demise.”
“As for the deeper regions of Chaos Space, those are places only Immortal Lords and Immortal Venerables can inhabit.”
Ji Qing understood.
He accepted the Chaos Token.
“Thank you, Master.”
“Alright, go. Remember, there are all sorts of True Immortals in Chaos Space, from various races. If you encounter any, be extremely cautious. Killing within Chaos Space means death, and no one will ever find out.”
Ji Qing’s heart tightened.
He understood his Master’s meaning perfectly.
Encountering other True Immortals or cultivators from other races in Chaos Space was not a good thing.
It was highly likely to lead to murder and robbery.
After all, no one would know, and there would be no consequences. Thus, many Immortals would naturally engage in combat.
When searching for treasures and opportunities, what could be faster than snatching them from others?
Thus, Ji Qing, holding the Chaos Token, flew directly into Chaos Space.
“Whoosh…”
As soon as he entered Chaos Space, Ji Qing felt as if he had plunged into a “swamp.”
He was enveloped all over.
It was almost impossible to move.
Even more terrifying was the encroaching Chaos Qi, which madly eroded Ji Qing’s Immortal Spirit Body.
Under such conditions, even a top-tier Immortal Spirit Body could not withstand it.
“Buzz.”
Suddenly, the Chaos Token in Ji Qing’s hand emitted a bright light, radiating a layer of luminescence.
This light could separate the Chaos Qi.
Under the shroud of this light, there was no longer any Chaos Qi around Ji Qing.
“So, the Chaos Token has this function…”
Ji Qing was slightly taken aback.
He then understood the purpose of the Chaos Token.
The Chaos Token could break through the infinite Chaos Qi, allowing cultivators to move unimpeded within Chaos Space.
Without a Chaos Token, even Immortal Lords and Immortal Venerables would struggle to move freely in Chaos Space.
Even if they could endure for a day or two, they would be eroded by the Chaos Qi daily. How long could they possibly last?
Ji Qing extended his hand out of the protective range of the Chaos Token.
Without the protection of the Chaos Token’s light, a large amount of Chaos Qi swiftly began to erode Ji Qing’s hand.
Ji Qing could clearly feel his Immortal Spirit Body under immense pressure.
“Huh?”
“Why hasn’t my Immortal Spirit Body been eroded yet?”
Ji Qing noticed something unusual.
Ji Qing then put away the Chaos Token.
He was once again enveloped by that “swamp-like” sensation.
But there was one difference.
Even though his movement was difficult, making it almost impossible to move,
the Chaos Qi still could not erode his Immortal Spirit Body.
A flash of inspiration struck Ji Qing, and he thought of a possibility.
“Even a top-tier Immortal Spirit Body probably couldn’t withstand the erosion of Chaos Qi, but what I’ve condensed is not a top-tier Immortal Spirit Body, but a Perfect Immortal Spiritual Body, reaching the ultimate limit attainable in the Immortal Realm! It is also the most perfect and complete Immortal Spirit Body that the Immortal Realm can produce, signifying no flaws and no weaknesses…”
Ji Qing now truly felt the power of the Perfect Immortal Spiritual Body.
It was not merely about immense strength.
However, although Ji Qing’s Perfect Immortal Spiritual Body could resist the erosion of Chaos Qi, his strength was too meager. Pushing away the Chaos Qi and moving freely was still incredibly difficult.
With his current Immortal Spirit Body, if he lost the protection of the Chaos Token, he would be like someone trapped in a swamp, unable to move.
Therefore, a Chaos Token was still necessary within Chaos.
“Opportunities abound within Chaos Space, but Chaos is vast and constantly expanding. For it to reach the size of the Thirty-three Heavens would take countless years. Therefore, finding opportunities within Chaos likely truly depends on luck…”
Ji Qing only had ten years.
He could only hold the Chaos Token and move throughout Chaos Space.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months.
Ji Qing ventured deeper and deeper into Chaos.
There were no fixed directions in Chaos.
If he wanted to leave, he only needed to activate the Chaos Token, and he could instantly teleport out of Chaos Space.
As Ji Qing ventured deeper, he noticed that the light of the Chaos Token seemed to be compressed, and its illuminated radius grew smaller.
Ji Qing guessed the reason.
It was likely that the deeper he went, the closer he was to the inner layers of Chaos Space.
And Ji Qing could only remain in the outer regions of Chaos Space.
If he ventured into the inner regions, this Chaos Token would not be able to withstand the dense Chaos Qi.
Unless he obtained a Chaos Token from the inner regions.
But Ji Qing was not qualified to obtain such a Chaos Token.
One month, three months, five months…
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
Ji Qing had still found nothing.
This made Ji Qing doubt if his luck was truly that bad.
“Rumble.”
Suddenly, Ji Qing sensed faint, terrifying fluctuations within Chaos.
Ji Qing’s eyes brightened.
This level of power was that of a True Immortal!
True Immortal-level powerhouses were battling.
It was good that there were people around.
After such a long time, he had finally encountered someone.
Ji Qing immediately rushed towards the source of the fluctuations.
Soon, Ji Qing saw that within Chaos Space, there was a shattered continent.
Calling it a shattered continent might be a stretch.
It was at most a piece of broken land.
However, on this broken land, there grew a towering tree.
However, on this broken land, a towering tree actually grew.
And beneath the towering tree, there stood a colossal giant, locked in a fierce battle with a True Immortal.
The power fluctuations from their engagement indicated that the True Immortal was no ordinary one.
Ji Qing estimated that they were comparable to the top True Immortals of Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
After all, those who could enter the Chaos Space were the cream of the crop from the Thirty-three Heavens.
That True Immortal will be left aside for now.
Ji Qing was most interested in the colossal giant.
Because this giant felt familiar to Ji Qing.
“Giant Spirit God Clan? And likely Fourth-Tier…”
Ji Qing’s heart surged.
The Giant Spirit God Clan.
Strictly speaking, Ji Qing was also of the Giant Spirit God Clan.
However, he was merely a Third-Tier Giant Spirit God Race.
Currently, his Third-Tier progress was only at 40%.
Ji Qing’s Giant Spirit God Clan Bloodline had not seen any improvement for a long time.
Without a stronger Giant Spirit God Clan Bloodline, Ji Qing’s Giant Spirit Race Physical Body would reach its limit.
However, encountering a Fourth-Tier Giant Spirit God Race in the Chaos Space this time was different.
This was also an Opportunity!
“Get out.”
The Fourth-Tier Giant Spirit God Race and the True Immortal seemed to have sensed Ji Qing.
They immediately ceased their fight, retreated a distance, and their gazes fell upon Ji Qing.
It was difficult to hide in the Chaos Space.
After all, the light from the Chaos Token was hard to conceal.
Essentially, one would be detected within a certain distance.
Upon discovering Ji Qing, both of them became highly vigilant.
They would absolutely not give Ji Qing the opportunity to be the fisherman in a dispute between two rivals.
“Discovered?”
Ji Qing naturally understood why the Giant Spirit God Race and the True Immortal had stopped fighting.
They feared Ji Qing would take advantage.
Ji Qing, of course, was not looking to take advantage.
In the Chaos Space, once cultivators encountered each other, and there was a clear Opportunity,
there was only one word.
Kill!
Without any hesitation.
“Clang.”
Ji Qing drew his sword.
His first target was the True Immortal.
However, Ji Qing immediately discovered a problem.
The Chaos Qi was blocking, rendering his Void Merging Immortal Art useless.
In fact, within the Chaos Space, many Immortal Techniques and methods were unusable.
But it was alright.
If Void Merging Immortal Art was unusable, then he wouldn’t use Void Merging Immortal Art.
A dazzling Blade Light flashed in the Chaos Space.
It flew towards the True Immortal.
“How dare you!”
The True Immortal was enraged.
Ji Qing not attacking the Giant Spirit God Race, but striking him first, what did that imply?
Did it imply that in Ji Qing’s eyes, he was a pushover, easier to handle?
The True Immortal was extremely indignant, and he also unleashed a punch.
This punch was also extremely profound.
It was likely some kind of Immortal Technique, possibly even reaching Perfection.
Otherwise, the True Immortal wouldn’t have been able to clash directly with a Giant Spirit God Race and not be at a disadvantage.
However, Ji Qing smiled when the opponent chose to clash head-on with his Blade Light.
At this moment, he held nothing back.
All 23 times True Immortal Power erupted, converging into this single strike.
“Squelch.”
With the drop of the blade, the opponent’s punch shattered instantly, and at the same time, the Blade Light struck the opponent’s Immortal Spirit Body.
“Ah…”
The True Immortal cried out in agony.
Although protected by an Immortal Treasure, it couldn’t withstand Ji Qing’s strike, which rivaled that of an Immortal Lord.
Consequently, his Immortal Spirit Body was directly cleaved in half by the blade, instantly annihilated.
A top True Immortal, dead!
Seeing this, even the Giant Spirit God Race couldn’t help but have their pupils contract, their hearts churning with Stormy Seas.
This True Immortal had been fighting him to a standstill, neither able to defeat the other.
Then, a new True Immortal appeared and was instantly killed by this new True Immortal’s single strike.
This was utterly unbelievable.
If he could instantly kill a True Immortal, wouldn’t he be able to instantly kill him, the Giant Spirit God Race?
“Go!”
The Giant Spirit God Race turned and fled.
All courage to confront had vanished.
They say the Giant Spirit God Race has strong limbs and a simple mind.
But this Giant Spirit God Race’s mind was quite agile.
Seeing the situation turn sour, he didn’t hesitate and decisively fled.
Unfortunately, Ji Qing would not let him escape.
A Fourth-Tier Giant Spirit God Race, how rare.
Especially the Essence Blood within him would be of great use to Ji Qing.
Ji Qing immediately unleashed an Immortal Technique from afar.
Chaos Immortal Trapping Art!
Void Merging Immortal Art might be unusable, but that didn’t mean other Immortal Techniques were.
Ji Qing wasn’t too far from the Giant Spirit God Race.
Therefore, he could still cast Chaos Immortal Trapping Art from a distance.
This Immortal Technique was for trapping enemies.
It descended instantly, trapping the Fourth-Tier Giant Spirit God Race within.
The Giant Spirit God Race’s expression changed drastically.
A giant axe appeared in his hand, and he directly slashed at the Chaos Immortal Trapping Art.
“Rumble.”
The Chaos Immortal Trapping Art violently trembled.
It seemed precarious, as if it could be broken at any moment.
But in reality, for a short period, not even the Giant Spirit God Race could break it.
Even if he broke the Immortal Technique, the delay would be enough for Ji Qing to arrive.
“Crack.”
Finally, the Chaos Immortal Trapping Art was broken.
This was due to the Giant Spirit God Race’s immense Power.
Otherwise, it could have trapped him for a few more breaths.
However, it was enough for now.
Because Ji Qing had already arrived before the Giant Spirit God Race.
“Slash.”
Ji Qing, without hesitation, delivered a single strike.
23 times True Immortal Power, True Immortals couldn’t block it, and neither could a Fourth-Tier Giant Spirit God Race.
With just one strike, it landed on the Giant Spirit God Race.
“Swoosh.”
The Giant Spirit God Race’s head fell directly.
The Giant Spirit God Race specialized in their Physical Body, unlike True Immortals.
For a True Immortal’s Immortal Spirit Body, complete annihilation was required for them to perish.
If even a trace of the Immortal Spirit Body remained, they could recover.
However, the Giant Spirit God Race’s Physical Body still had the weakness of a Physical Body.
Although they could regenerate from a drop of blood, their Physical Body had Vitality.
Once the Vitality of their Physical Body was annihilated, it meant complete demise.
Ji Qing’s strike not only severed the Giant Spirit God Race’s head but also annihilated the Vitality throughout its body.
Thus, with one strike, the Giant Spirit God Race died!
Ji Qing waved his hand and directly threw the Giant Spirit God Race’s Corpse into his Immortal Mansion.
It was not yet time to deal with the Giant Spirit God Race’s Corpse.
He had more important matters to attend to.
The reason the True Immortal and the Giant Spirit God Race were fighting fiercely here was to contend for a towering tree.
Now, Ji Qing had also arrived beneath this towering tree.
What was so miraculous about this towering tree?
It actually caused a Fourth-Tier Giant Spirit God Race and a top True Immortal to clash.
“Hmm?”
Ji Qing looked up.
He discovered that a fruit had grown on this tree.
This fruit was incredibly wondrous, entirely golden yellow.
It looked radiant and extremely mystical.
Could it be that they were fighting over this fruit?
A fruit that could grow in the Chaos Space must be extraordinary.
Ji Qing immediately used Immortal Spiritual Energy to form a large hand and reached for the fruit, attempting to pick it.
“Hmm? I can’t pick it?”
Ji Qing exerted force.
As a result, he couldn’t pick this fruit.
This was unusual.
With Ji Qing’s current Power, even a slight exertion shouldn’t result in him being unable to pick a mere fruit.
There’s a problem!
Ji Qing simply used his sword and directly chopped at the branch.
The result was that he couldn’t even cut the branch.
This made Ji Qing even more astonished.
His Immortal Slaying Saber was a top Immortal Treasure.
Yet, it couldn’t even sever a branch.
Originally, Ji Qing had planned to transplant this entire tree into his Immortal Mansion.
Now, it seemed impossible.
He couldn’t even deal with a single branch, so how could he transplant the whole tree?
Ji Qing refused to believe it.
He couldn’t pick this fruit.
So, Ji Qing tried every possible method.
He unleashed Immortal Lord Power, but it had no effect on this fruit.
“The Chaos Space is full of strange occurrences, even a single fruit is so mysterious… It seems there’s only one way now, and that is to wait!”
Ji Qing tried every method but couldn’t pick the fruit.
But he wasn’t without gains.
He had a faint feeling that this fruit was not yet ripe.
Once it matured, the fruit would be easy to pick.
For now, he could only wait!
Ji Qing then took out his Immortal Mansion.
He then entered his Immortal Mansion.
Anyway, the fruit won’t mature for a while.
It will take at least several months.
Ji Qing will not waste these few months.
Inside the Immortal Mansion, Ji Qing saw the corpse of a Fourth-Tier Giant Spirit God Race member.
Ji Qing immediately manifested the Giant Spirit God Race physical body.
He hadn’t manifested the Giant Spirit God Race physical body for a long time.
As soon as he manifested the Giant Spirit God Race physical body, Ji Qing felt a craving within it.
It was a craving for the Giant Spirit God Clan Essence Blood.
His Giant Spirit God Race physical body hadn’t seen any improvement for a long time.
However, an opportunity had now arrived!
There was a considerable amount of essence blood within this Fourth-Tier Giant Spirit God Race member.
Ji Qing immediately condensed a drop of essence blood from the corpse.
“Refine!”
Subsequently, Ji Qing’s Third-Tier Giant Spirit God Race physical body attempted to refine the essence blood.
As expected, the 40% progress loosened, and it began to improve little by little.
41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%…
Everything went smoothly.
In just a few months, Ji Qing’s Giant Spirit God Race physical body surged forward.
50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%…
Ji Qing couldn’t recall how many drops of Giant Spirit God Clan Essence Blood he had refined.
When he felt a bottleneck in his Giant Spirit God Race physical body, what was such a bottleneck compared to drop after drop of Fourth-Tier Giant Spirit God Clan essence blood?
“Boom.”
Ji Qing’s Giant Spirit God Race physical body broke the calm.
His physique directly climbed from two hundred zhang to a thousand zhang!
At this moment, Ji Qing’s Giant Spirit God Race physical body climbed from Third Order to Fourth Order.
This was a qualitative transformation.
Because Fourth Order is becoming a god!
Ji Qing now truly deserved the title “Divine Race” within the Giant Spirit God Race!
“Buzz.”
Just as Ji Qing was about to continue refining essence blood.
Suddenly, a violent vibration sound came from outside the Immortal Mansion.
Ji Qing immediately flew out of the Immortal Mansion.
“Hmm? Did the fruit mature?”
Ji Qing’s heart stirred slightly.
The fruit had matured, emitting an alluring fragrance.
This fragrance was irresistible.
It made one want to swallow the fruit in one gulp.
Ji Qing immediately used Immortal Spiritual Energy to form a giant palm and gently grasped the fruit.
It was different from last time.
This time, Ji Qing easily plucked the fruit.
He encountered no obstacles at all.
As Ji Qing plucked the fruit, he was horrified to discover that a massive, towering tree rapidly withered.
Then, it was eroded by Chaos Qi and turned into dust, completely dissipating.
Ji Qing was slightly taken aback.
Such a massive, towering tree was only to nurture a single fruit?
After nurturing the fruit, the towering tree reached the end of its life.
This was simply unbelievable.
Ji Qing had never seen anything like this before.
What kind of fruit was this?
Ji Qing gritted his teeth and extended his consciousness into the fruit.
“Boom.”
Instantly, Ji Qing received a piece of information from within the fruit.
Ji Qing slowly sorted through the information in his mind.
Subsequently, Ji Qing learned the function of this fruit.
“This is the Three Corpses Fruit!”
Ji Qing looked at the fruit with some astonishment.
The so-called Three Corpses Fruit was actually the “Method of Slaying Three Corpses.”
Legend has it that a very ancient Great Expert in the Immortal Realm once created the Method of Slaying Three Corpses, slaying three clones, with each clone cultivating a different Method.
In the end, the three clones merged into one, thus Proving the Dao in the Immortal Realm!
This rumor had persisted from ancient times to the present.
It sounded plausible, but since that ancient Great Expert, no one else had been able to Prove the Dao in this manner.
The fundamental reason was that the “Method of Slaying Three Corpses” was not an ordinary Method at all.
Ordinary clones would not suffice.
One needed the “Three Corpses Fruit” to house the clones, so that they could merge into one and achieve an incredible effect.
The fruit Ji Qing had obtained was, in fact, a “Three Corpses Fruit.”
Such an Opportunity could only be obtained in Chaos Space.
It was impossible to obtain it outside of Chaos Space.
“It’s actually a Three Corpses Fruit? This is incredible, a monumental Opportunity! It’s a pity there’s only one Three Corpses Fruit. If I want to slay three corpses, which three should I slay?”
Ji Qing fell into thought.
The ancient Immortal Realm Great Expert of the past slew the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the self corpse.
However, Ji Qing found after obtaining the Three Corpses Fruit that perhaps that was only suitable for that ancient Great Expert and not for others.
At least, it wasn’t suitable for Ji Qing.
Ji Qing’s own situation was very special.
Deep within his heart, he had harbored an ambition for a long time.
He wanted to merge all Methods into one.
Ji Qing’s primary cultivation was based on the Immortal Realm system.
However, he also possessed the Giant Spirit God Race physical body, which was an entirely different cultivation system from the Immortal Realm.
And then there was the Curse Body.
That was even more a cultivation system of the Eternal Universe, a technique from a Different Universe.
Ji Qing had an ambition: what would happen if he reached the Peak of all these cultivation systems and then merged them?
If Ji Qing were to slay three corpses, he would be slaying these cultivation systems.
So, which cultivation system should he slay?
There was currently only one Three Corpses Fruit.
But one fruit also had its uses.
Perhaps, he might not need to slay three corpses in the future.
Slaying one corpse would suffice!
“The Giant Spirit God Race cultivates the physical body, and the Immortal system cultivates the Immortal Spirit Body to contain the Great Dao; these two can proceed together. What is truly awkward is the Curse Body, which is a cultivation system from a Different Universe but also has a very high upper limit. Once cultivated to its Peak, possessing two cosmic systems might be my greatest advantage!”
“Therefore, I will slay the Curse Body!”
Ji Qing made up his mind.
He would slay the Curse Body and make it one of his three corpses, cultivating it separately.
When needed, it could be merged back into his body, which would not be much different from his main body’s cultivation.
This was the most miraculous aspect of the Three Corpses Fruit.
Since Ji Qing had made up his mind, he hesitated no longer.
He immediately manifested his colossal Curse Body.
Then he swallowed the Three Corpses Fruit.
After the Three Corpses Fruit integrated into his body, Ji Qing instantly made his decision.
“Slay!”
Ji Qing’s intent was like a blade, directly slaying the Curse Body!
