Chapter 277: Pact Of One Move, Ji Qing Defeats Immortal Lord! Cangwu Immortal City Shaken, Eight Great Families Submit!
Immortal Lord!
A genuine Immortal Lord!
Ji Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly, his expression turning solemn.
He didn’t want to fight an Immortal Lord unless absolutely necessary.
But if the Immortal Lord insisted on intervening, Ji Qing would not be intimidated!
This Immortal Lord was clad in white robes, with ethereal immortal qi, and a handsome, almost alluring appearance, with a red mark like a lightning bolt between his brows.
Upon appearing, he exuded an unparalleled elegance and noble aura, instantly suppressing everyone’s momentum.
This is an Immortal Lord!
No matter how powerful a True Immortal, or how many True Immortals there were.
Once an Immortal Lord descends, they are beings who tower above all True Immortals.
“What is the Immortal Lord’s name?”
Ji Qing asked.
“This Lord is Hao Yue.”
“So it’s Hao Yue Immortal Lord.”
Ji Qing hadn’t heard of him, but since the other party was a dignified Immortal Lord, he wouldn’t lie to him.
In the vast Immortal Realm, with its thirty-three heavens, it was normal for a new Immortal Lord to appear in the first heaven.
“May I ask who Hao Yue Immortal Lord represents?”
“It won’t do to hide it from Young Friend Ji, this Lord represents the Eight Great Families of Cangwu. As for the purpose, it is naturally the Mysterious Crystal Mine; the Eight Great Families of Cangwu have offered this Lord treasures that he cannot refuse, so this Lord must come.”
Hearing Hao Yue Immortal Lord’s words, the Fourth Elder’s pupils sharply contracted, he gritted his teeth, and said with a trembling body: “It really is you, the Eight Great Families of Cangwu! I didn’t expect the Eight Great Families of Cangwu to actually enlist an Immortal Lord, and at such a tremendous cost; they truly intend to seize the Mysterious Crystal Mine and Cangwu Immortal City!”
The Fourth Elder knew very well the enormous cost of the Eight Great Families of Cangwu enlisting an Immortal Lord.
With such a great price paid, what did the Eight Great Families of Cangwu want?
Naturally, Cangwu Immortal City!
They wanted the Chen Family to die!
“The Eight Great Families of Cangwu are the eight major powers of Cangwu Immortal City, and they have always been coveting the Chen Family; before, with the Old Ancestor presiding, even if the Eight Families had any ideas, they could only suppress them. But this time, with the Old Ancestor’s demise, the Eight Great Families could no longer hold back… Please, Senior, uphold justice for the Chen Family!”
The Fourth Elder immediately bowed to Ji Qing.
Many True Immortals of the Chen Family at the Mysterious Crystal Mine also bowed to Ji Qing at the same time.
Facing an Immortal Lord, if Ji Qing didn’t intervene, the Chen Family would likely be in grave danger.
They could only hope for Ji Qing now.
Ji Qing said lightly: “Immortal Lord, Cangwu Immortal Lord is my Senior Brother. I am also here on a mission from my Master. Does the Immortal Lord really intend to attack the Mysterious Crystal Mine and the Chen Family?”
Hao Yue Immortal Lord shook his head slightly: “Zi Xu Immortal Venerable is a dignified Immortal Venerable; I believe she will not concern herself with the affairs of us juniors. Moreover, I will not kill you, Daoist friend, merely ask you to retreat. I take money to avert disaster, each taking what they need, nothing more.”
Ji Qing understood.
This Hao Yue Immortal Lord was still quite lucid.
He knew he couldn’t kill him.
“Retreat… it seems the Immortal Lord must intervene. If that is the case, then Ji Mou will have to experience the Immortal Lord’s methods.”
Ji Qing said lightly.
Although he was a True Immortal, he was a direct disciple of an Immortal Venerable, and he had just annihilated dozens of True Immortals.
Hao Yue Immortal Lord had witnessed everything from the shadows; he would not treat Ji Qing as a mere True Immortal.
“Young Friend Ji, you are acting on your Master’s orders, and I am taking money to avert disaster. Let’s not resort to killing each other at every turn. How about we each make one move, and decide the victor with a single strike? If I lose, I will leave immediately and no longer concern myself with the Eight Great Families of Cangwu. If Young Friend Ji loses…”
“If Ji Mou loses, then I will only protect the Chen Family, as per my Master’s orders!”
“Good, then it’s settled!”
Hao Yue Immortal Lord was living quite perceptively.
The benefits from the Eight Great Families of Cangwu, he wanted to take them, and he couldn’t refuse.
But he also didn’t want to kill Ji Qing, or offend Ji Qing and become sworn enemies, thus incurring the wrath of an Immortal Venerable.
So, they would make an agreement.
A single move to decide the victor!
The reason he knew Ji Qing would agree was simple; he had also perceived Ji Qing’s strength.
Immortal Lord combat power!
Ji Qing already possessed Immortal Lord combat power.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the sudden idea to propose a “challenge” of one move with Ji Qing.
After all, for an Immortal Lord to challenge a True Immortal to a single move, it would always seem like the True Immortal was at a disadvantage.
A normal True Immortal would not agree.
Hao Yue Immortal Lord understood, and he believed Ji Qing also understood.
And Ji Qing indeed understood.
This Hao Yue Immortal Lord was a smart person, and also a remarkable one.
“Senior Ji, you really agreed to decide the victor with Hao Yue Immortal Lord in one move?”
The Fourth Elder’s voice was trembling.
The so-called “decide the victor with one move” concerned the Chen Family’s control over Cangwu Immortal City.
Now, it all rested on Ji Qing’s “one move.”
The crucial point was that Ji Qing was still only a True Immortal.
No matter how strong a True Immortal was, could they be stronger than an Immortal Lord?
He knew what the Fourth Elder meant.
He also knew the Chen Family’s worries.
But did the Chen Family have any other choice?
“Do you think Ji Mou cannot make the decision for the Chen Family?”
“No, Senior, please calm your anger. Everything is up to you!”
The Fourth Elder dared not speak further.
As long as Ji Qing remained, even if they lost, the Chen Family would not be destroyed; at least their lives could be preserved.
If Ji Qing were gone.
The Chen Family, facing Hao Yue Immortal Lord and the Eight Great Families of Cangwu, would likely be annihilated.
The Fourth Elder was very clear about this.
Therefore, the Fourth Elder did not dare to disobey Ji Qing.
“Immortal Lord, please.”
“Young Friend Ji, please as well.”
The two immediately flew into the void, away from the Mysterious Crystal Mine.
After all, they were both Immortal Lord-level beings; once they unleashed their full power, the terrifying aftermath could potentially destroy the Mysterious Crystal Mine, something neither of them wished to see.
Ji Qing looked at Hao Yue Immortal Lord.
One move to decide the victor.
His strength had already improved significantly.
He used to only have 23 times True Immortal combat power.
Now, with his Perfect Immortal Spiritual Body at 43%, it was 28.6 times True Immortal combat power.
With a 10% increase from Saber Array Technique, that was 2.8 times True Immortal combat power.
The Immortal Slaying Saber provided 1 time True Immortal combat power.
Combined, that was about 32 times True Immortal combat power.
An average Immortal Lord had only about twenty times True Immortal combat power.
Ji Qing knew that the Hao Yue Immortal Lord before him was likely not an ordinary Immortal Lord.
But with 32 times True Immortal combat power, Ji Qing was full of confidence.
Of course, Ji Qing was still a Young Chaos Demon God, and if that were added, his combat power would be even more terrifying.
However, Ji Qing would naturally not unleash his Young Chaos Demon God Bloodline under these circumstances.
His Perfect Immortal Spiritual Body alone was enough!
Ji Qing slowly gripped the Saber Array Technique.
Hao Yue Immortal Lord’s expression also gradually became solemn.
Although he appeared composed, in reality, he was very confident in this battle, otherwise, he would not have set the “one move to decide the victor” challenge.
The things promised by the Eight Great Families of Cangwu, he could not refuse.
He had to obtain them!
If he were to lose to Ji Qing, a True Immortal, then he would have nothing more to say.
After all, no matter how strong a True Immortal was, even if they truly possessed Immortal Lord combat power, how could they compare to a true Immortal Lord?
Moreover, he was not an ordinary Immortal Lord!
At some point, a sword appeared in Hao Yue Immortal Lord’s hand.
He was also a swordsman!
The moment Hao Yue Immortal Lord gripped the sword hilt, he seemed to transform into a Sword Immortal!
Emitting a sharp edge.
This caused the True Immortals of the Chen Family to sink.
An Immortal Lord was already terrifying enough.
But he was also a Sword Immortal?
That was even more terrifying.
Who didn’t know that in the Immortal Realm, in terms of offense, Sword Immortals were considered the best!
“I have a sword; I invite Young Friend to judge it!”
As the words fell.
Hao Yue Immortal Lord fiercely drew his sword.
A beautiful sword light emerged, and within the light, one could vaguely see a full moon.
Moonlight scattered across the void.
However, Ji Qing knew that was not moonlight.
It was… sword light!
Killing sword light!
Dense sword light, each beam capable of easily slaying a True Immortal.
And with so many sword lights combined, their might surged even more.
What was most commendable was that these sword lights were like living sword lights.
Not at all rigid.
Was this still sword light?
Even Ji Qing was shaken.
“Clang.”
Ji Qing also drew his saber without hesitation.
If Hao Yue Immortal Lord’s sword light had a weakness, it was one weakness.
Slow!
Not truly slow, but slow relative to Ji Qing’s saber light.
Because Ji Qing’s saber light had merged with the Void Merging Immortal Art, it could directly traverse space.
The saber strikes true!
This was an extremely terrifying ability.
Especially Ji Qing’s saber strike, which possessed 32 times True Immortal combat power.
That saber strike was even more terrifying.
Ji Qing’s saber light, arriving later but striking first, directly reached Hao Yue Immortal Lord.
However, Hao Yue Immortal Lord seemed prepared.
A tortoise shell appeared on his body.
It was a defensive Immortal Treasure, and an Immortal Lord-grade defensive Immortal Treasure at that.
Hao Yue Immortal Lord was very confident.
As long as this tortoise shell blocked Ji Qing’s saber strike, then his sword light would surely defeat Ji Qing.
However, when this saber strike truly landed on the tortoise shell, a shocking scene unfolded.
“Crack.”
With just one strike, the Immortal Lord-grade defensive Immortal Treasure tortoise shell actually developed a crack, and the crack rapidly expanded, shattering completely in an instant.
“What?”
Hao Yue Immortal Lord could barely believe his eyes.
Simultaneously, Ji Qing’s saber light also struck Hao Yue Immortal Lord’s Immortal Spirit Body.
Instantly, Hao Yue Immortal Lord’s Immortal Spirit Body shattered and annihilated.
One-tenth, two-tenths, three-tenths…
Three-tenths!
Ji Qing’s saber strike annihilated a full three-tenths of Hao Yue Immortal Lord’s Immortal Spirit Body.
This was even after the Immortal Lord-grade Immortal Treasure tortoise shell had offset most of the power of Ji Qing’s saber strike.
If there had been no tortoise shell, Hao Yue Immortal Lord might not have been able to withstand this saber strike.
This also left Hao Yue Immortal Lord utterly shocked.
Was this still a saber strike that a True Immortal could unleash?
Hao Yue Immortal Lord did not die, and the blade light he unleashed naturally did not disappear.
Although the blade light was a little slower than Ji Qing’s saber light, it still landed on Ji Qing.
“Buzz.”
Five-colored light also suddenly appeared on Ji Qing’s body.
The Five Elements Undying Immortal Robe on his body was instantly activated.
Hao Yue Immortal Lord’s blade light instantly landed within Ji Qing’s Five Elements Undying Immortal Robe.
For the first time, Ji Qing’s Five Elements Undying Immortal Robe felt pressure.
The terrifying blade light seemed to be tearing the Five Elements Undying Immortal Robe apart.
Previously, Ji Qing’s Five Elements Undying Immortal Robe had withstood many attacks.
But now, the Five Elements Undying Immortal Robe seemed unable to hold on.
However, Ji Qing erupted with a large amount of Immortal Spiritual Energy, offsetting much of the blade light.
Finally, the Five Elements Undying Immortal Robe held on.
Although it was only barely held on, Ji Qing was unharmed.
And what about Hao Yue Immortal Lord?
He lost thirty percent of his Immortal Spiritual Body.
The outcome was immediately clear.
“I lost…”
Hao Yue Immortal Lord seemed unable to believe it, but he slowly spoke, admitting his defeat.
“Victory! Senior Ji has won!”
“Hahaha, Senior Ji, a True Immortal, fought against an Immortal Lord and actually won? It’s simply unbelievable!”
“Does this mean our Chen Family has protected the Mysterious Crystal Mine and Cangwu Immortal City?”
Hearing Hao Yue Immortal Lord concede, the True Immortals of the Chen Family were immediately overjoyed.
They couldn’t even believe it themselves.
Ji Qing had actually defeated Hao Yue Immortal Lord?
Ji Qing was a True Immortal.
A True Immortal fighting against an Immortal Lord?
It was truly incredible!
The people of the Chen Family felt very lucky, but in reality, only Hao Yue Immortal Lord knew that Ji Qing was not lucky at all.
If he didn’t have an Immortal Lord-grade defensive Immortal Treasure.
He probably wouldn’t have been able to block that saber strike!
Even as an Immortal Lord, he wouldn’t have been able to block it.
Now that the Tortoise Shell Immortal Treasure was gone, if he hadn’t conceded and another strike came, Hao Yue Immortal Lord would have surely died!
Therefore, Hao Yue Immortal Lord was genuinely convinced of his defeat.
He had indeed lost.
He had lost wholeheartedly!
Ji Qing’s strength was not just Immortal Lord combat power.
Among Immortal Lords, he was likely among the powerful!
“The Eight Great Families of Cangwu, I will no longer concern myself with them!”
Having said that, Hao Yue Immortal Lord immediately traversed space and disappeared.
“Let’s go back, the Eight Great Families of Cangwu should also be dealt with!”
“Yes, Senior Ji.”
Now, these True Immortals of the Chen Family were completely obedient to Ji Qing, no longer daring to doubt him in the slightest.
The group traversed back to Cangwu Immortal City.
The Chen Family Patriarch had already received the news and had even made preparations in advance, gathering a large number of Chen Family True Immortals.
“Greetings, Senior…”
The Chen Family Patriarch was extremely excited.
He didn’t even know what to say.
“Activate the formation of Cangwu Immortal City, allowing entry but not exit.”
“Yes, Senior.”
Cangwu Immortal City also had a formation, which was naturally controlled by the Chen Family.
Soon, the great formation was activated.
In fact, some members of the Eight Great Families of Cangwu had already fled.
After all, Hao Yue Immortal Lord had also sent a communication talisman.
The Eight Great Families of Cangwu had already learned of the defeat, and some had fled in advance.
But most of them had not yet escaped.
If they hadn’t escaped, they were caught like fish in a barrel, to be dealt with one by one!
Soon, Ji Qing led the group to the first family, the Zhao Family!
The Zhao Family Patriarch had already brought his people and knelt on the ground.
“Greetings, Chen Family Patriarch, greetings, True Immortal Ji. Our Zhao Family is genuinely convinced of this defeat. We implore you to leave us a sliver of our lineage. Our Zhao Family is willing to offer all our treasure vaults!”
Ji Qing glanced at the Chen Family Patriarch.
The Chen Family Patriarch understood. This was the Chen Family’s matter, and the Eight Great Families of Cangwu were to be handled by the Chen Family.
The Chen Family Patriarch gritted his teeth and said, “Very well.”
“Thank you, Chen Family Patriarch.”
The Zhao Family Patriarch knew that the Zhao Family’s doom was inevitable. He did not beg for mercy, only asking to preserve a thread of their lineage, and the Chen Family had agreed.
Afterward, the Chen Family did not hold back, and a large number of True Immortals descended upon the Zhao Family.
Then, one by one, the True Immortals of the Zhao Family met their deaths.
Then came the second family, the third family, the fourth family, the fifth family…
The Eight Great Families of Cangwu were not all like the Zhao Family, willing to be led to the slaughter.
Some families still wanted to resist.
However, with Ji Qing’s intervention, these resisting families could not cause any significant trouble.
In just one day, the Eight Great Families of Cangwu were annihilated.
The situation in the entire Cangwu Immortal City changed drastically.
Both openly and secretly, many cultivators knew that the overall situation had been decided.
They also learned the reason: it was the True Immortal Ji Qing, whom the Chen Family had invited, who had defeated a genuine Immortal Lord invited by the Eight Great Families of Cangwu.
This was simply unbelievable.
These factions did not know the specific details.
They only knew that Ji Qing had defeated a dignified Immortal Lord.
This was quite thought-provoking.
However, upon thinking of Ji Qing’s identity as a Direct Disciple of an Immortal Venerable, many speculations began to spread.
For example, Ji Qing possessed a method left behind by an Immortal Venerable, making it easy to defeat an Immortal Lord.
Or, he had been bestowed an Immortal Treasure by an Immortal Venerable, making it equally easy to defeat an Immortal Lord.
As for Ji Qing defeating an Immortal Lord with his own strength?
Such rumors also existed.
But these rumors were the least credible.
Almost no one believed them.
However, the truth is often the rumor that no one believes.
Who would have thought that Ji Qing, a True Immortal, could truly defeat an Immortal Lord with his own strength?
After defeating the Eight Great Families of Cangwu, the Chen Family completely gained control of the situation in Cangwu Immortal City.
Moreover, with Ji Qing also stationed in Cangwu Immortal City.
Those undercurrents gradually disappeared.
Cangwu Immortal City returned to peace once more.
Ji Qing also reaped rewards.
The treasure vaults of the Eight Great Families of Cangwu contained many Immortal Treasures, which now belonged to the Chen Family.
Naturally, the Chen Family first let Ji Qing select from the treasures.
After he finished selecting, it was the Chen Family’s turn.
Ji Qing carefully selected a few items, and this time, he indeed found several Saber Type Immortal Treasures.
However, Ji Qing’s Immortal Slaying Saber had already reached the extreme of the True Immortal level.
The “Saber Path” within the Immortal Slaying Saber was basically very complete at the True Immortal level.
It was already difficult to find “Saber Path” that was not present in the Immortal Slaying Saber.
But for Immortal Lord-grade Immortal Treasures, Ji Qing had yet to encounter a “Saber Type” Immortal Treasure.
So, he could only make do and try.
Ji Qing now possessed nine “Saber Type” Immortal Treasures.
They were not only from the Eight Great Families of Cangwu.
Some also came from the Chen Family’s treasure vault.
Now, the Chen Family was completely at Ji Qing’s beck and call!
Ji Qing immediately activated the Great Dao Artifact Merging Method and began to “melt” these Saber Type Immortal Treasures, also trying his luck.
The first Saber Type Immortal Treasure, Ji Qing melted it and shook his head.
The Great Dao within his Immortal Slaying Saber had not grown at all.
Then came the second, third, fourth, fifth…
As Ji Qing had predicted.
Five Saber Type Immortal Treasures were melted in a row, but none of them had any effect on the Immortal Slaying Saber; they were basically wasted.
But Ji Qing did not give up.
He continued to melt them.
The sixth, seventh, eighth…
Finally, with the eighth Saber Type Immortal Treasure, the Great Dao within Ji Qing’s Immortal Slaying Saber vibrated violently.
Ji Qing’s heart rejoiced.
It worked!
Finally, there was a part missing from the Great Dao within the Immortal Slaying Saber.
As a trace of new Great Dao integrated into the Immortal Slaying Saber, it also broke through its own limitations.
The Immortal Slaying Saber was already at the extreme of the True Immortal level.
Breaking through its limitations naturally meant it was transforming towards an Immortal Lord-grade Immortal Treasure.
“Buzz.”
The Immortal Slaying Saber vibrated intensely.
Terrifying blade light permeated the cave dwelling.
When an Immortal Treasure undergoes transformation, the commotion is significant.
Ji Qing immediately sealed off the cave dwelling and then quietly watched the Immortal Slaying Saber transform.
This was a transformation from a True Immortal-grade Immortal Treasure to an Immortal Lord-grade Immortal Treasure, not an ordinary transformation.
The changes on the body of the Immortal Slaying Saber were not significant.
However, the “Great Dao” within the saber body rapidly transformed.
This was the first time Ji Qing had melted an “Immortal Lord-grade” Immortal Treasure after using the Great Dao Artifact Merging Method, and even Ji Qing himself was very curious.
Time passed day by day.
The transformation of the Immortal Slaying Saber could not be completed overnight; it required a long time.
One year, three years, five years, eight years…
In eight years, Ji Qing’s Perfect Immortal Spiritual Body had progressed by another 1% of its advancement.
And the Immortal Slaying Saber had also completely finished its transformation.
Compared to before, the Immortal Slaying Saber now had no significant change on its surface.
The only change was its aura.
The current Immortal Slaying Saber was sharp and imposing.
Just by drawing the saber, one could feel an extremely terrifying sharpness.
This sharpness alone was unbearable for many True Immortals, let alone the blade light.
The biggest change was in the “Saber Path” within the Immortal Slaying Saber.
It had grown to an extremely powerful level, thus enabling the Immortal Slaying Saber to transform into an Immortal Lord-grade Immortal Treasure.
“Clang.”
Ji Qing instantly drew his saber.
He carefully felt the might of the Immortal Slaying Saber.
“Ten times True Immortal combat power!”
Ji Qing felt the current might of the Immortal Slaying Saber.
Ten times True Immortal combat power was merely the entry-level for an Immortal Lord-grade Immortal Treasure.
This was also normal.
After all, the Immortal Slaying Saber had only just barely transformed.
Among Immortal Lord-grade Immortal Treasures, it is just the most ordinary type in terms of might.
Immortal Lord-grade Immortal Treasure does not mean one can rival an Immortal Lord just by possessing an Immortal Treasure.
Impossible.
If a True Immortal held an Immortal Lord-grade Immortal Treasure, wouldn’t everyone be able to rival an Immortal Lord?
But in reality, even holding an Immortal Lord-grade Immortal Treasure, a True Immortal is no match for an Immortal Lord.
Of course, some Immortal Treasures are extremely terrifying and might reach 20 times the combat power of a True Immortal, thus reaching the combat power standard of an Immortal Lord.
But such Immortal Treasures are also relatively rare.
Moreover, it is not easy for a True Immortal to fully activate them.
A True Immortal holding an Immortal Lord-grade Immortal Treasure and barely possessing Immortal Lord-grade combat power is still the weakest compared to a true Immortal Lord and would be easily defeated.
But Ji Qing is different.
Ji Qing’s strength comes from himself.
He himself possesses Immortal Lord-grade combat power.
Therefore, whether it is the Five Elements Undying Immortal Robe or the current Immortal Slaying Saber, in Ji Qing’s hands, it is no different from being in the hands of an Immortal Lord, and its greatest might can be unleashed.
Now Ji Qing is wielding the transformed Immortal Slaying Saber.
Ji Qing’s combat power will easily exceed 40 times that of a True Immortal!
How terrifying is this?
Moreover, as long as there is a suitable Immortal Lord-grade Saber Type Immortal Treasure, Ji Qing’s Immortal Slaying Saber can continue to transform and further enhance its might.
Reaching 15 to 20 times True Immortal combat power will be no problem then.
Moreover, Ji Qing’s Perfect Immortal Spiritual Body is only at 44%, so his strength still has room for improvement.
“Stationed in Cangwu Immortal City, eight years have passed in a flash, and there are only two years left until the ten-year deadline.”
Ji Qing immediately stood up and strolled through Cangwu Immortal City.
Eight years is not long for Cangwu Immortal City.
It’s just a flick of a finger.
The fall of the Eight Great Families of Cangwu by the Chen Family seems like it was just yesterday.
However, Cangwu Immortal City has indeed calmed down and returned to its former prosperous scene.
Immortals come and go ceaselessly.
Trade is prosperous.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Ji Qing sensed a familiar aura.
“That’s… the aura of a Divine Race?”
Ji Qing sensed the aura of a Divine Race among the crowd.
Although it was not the Giant Spirit God Clan, but another Divine Race.
However, Ji Qing himself possesses the Chaos Demon God Bloodline, making him extremely sensitive to the aura of all Divine Races.
Naturally, he could sense the aura of a Divine Race.
“It’s actually a Divine Race?”
Ji Qing followed the aura and finally fixed his gaze on a few women dressed in red skirts, who were delicate and charming.
The aura emanating from these women was clearly not Immortal Spiritual Energy.
Instead, it was an aura of bloodiness and slaughter.
Yet, the women’s appearance was very alluring.
Walking on the streets of Cangwu Immortal City, they frequently attracted sideways glances.
Ji Qing had been in the Immortal Realm for a long time, and he was no longer the ignorant ascended cultivator he once was.
He guessed the identity of these women in red skirts at a glance.
Asura God Clan!
They were likely from the Asura God Clan.
The Asura God Clan is also a type of Divine Race.
It is rumored that the Asura God Clan excels in conquest and slaughter; their men are ugly, but their women are all exceptionally beautiful.
The Divine Races have been cornered into a small area of the Immortal Realm and can only be described as lingering on.
Many forces capture some special Divine Races.
For example, these Asura women, due to their exceptionally beautiful appearance, offer a different kind of allure compared to immortal maidens, and are very popular in the Immortal Realm. Therefore, Asura women are often captured.
These three Asura women are likely the same.
They were all under restraint.
They should also be Fourth Order Asura God Clan members.
In fact, this represents being on the same level as True Immortals and is quite rare.
Usually, the captured Divine Races are those below True Immortal.
But now, these are three Fourth Order Divine Races, all at the “True God” level.
“Is that… Fu Long Merchant Association?”
Ji Qing saw the emblem of the Fu Long Merchant Association.
These three Asura women were likely captured by, or sold to, the Fu Long Merchant Association.
Ji Qing is currently a Fourth Order Chaos Demon God.
However, his progress is only 11%, and he needs a large amount of Divine Race Essence Blood, at least from Fourth Order Divine Races.
The specific type does not matter.
The Chaos Demon God Bloodline can accommodate all types of Divine Race Essence Blood.
Ji Qing immediately entered the Fu Long Merchant Association.
“You are… True Immortal Ji?”
The Fu Long Merchant Association also recognized Ji Qing.
After all, in Cangwu Immortal City, who doesn’t know Ji Qing now?
“That’s right, does your Fu Long Merchant Association have any Divine Race Essence Blood?”
Ji Qing asked directly.
“Uh… True Immortal Ji, our association has Fourth Order Divine Races, but we don’t have Divine Race Essence Blood. After all, besides Divine Races, no one needs Divine Race Essence Blood.”
Ji Qing nodded.
Immortals in the Immortal Realm had indeed studied Divine Races and Essence Blood.
It had no effect on the Immortal cultivation system.
Even for refining artifacts or pills, it was of no use.
Over time, naturally, no merchant associations sold Divine Race Essence Blood.
Instead, capturing Divine Races to sell was quite popular.
“Fourth Order Divine Races… are they the three Asura women just now?”
Ji Qing asked.
“True Immortal Ji, your insight is sharp. That’s right, it’s those three Asura women. These are Fourth Order Divine Races, very difficult to capture. Our Fu Long Merchant Association acquired these three Asura women by chance at a high price, and many Distinguished Guests wish to purchase these three Asura women…”
Ji Qing knew that the words of the Fu Long Merchant Association were not entirely trustworthy.
It was merely to sell them at a good price.
Were there really so many Immortals willing to pay a high price for three Asura women?
However, Ji Qing was too lazy to argue further.
“What’s the price? Ji Mou will take them!”
Ji Qing was now wealthy and powerful.
Even three Fourth Order True Gods from the Asura God Clan, he could directly purchase.
Soon, the transaction was completed.
“Distinguished Guest, these three Asura Gods are currently sealed. Do not break the seals arbitrarily, or our Fu Long Merchant Association will not be responsible. Here is the specific Method for controlling the seals.”
Ji Qing nodded.
With the seals, these three Asura women could be completely controlled.
This was normal.
Ji Qing approached the three Asura women.
The originally arrogant Asura Gods were all towering warriors.
But now, in the eyes of these three Asura women, there was a hint of fear, even flattering.
“Greetings, Master.”
Ji Qing knew that these three Asura women had likely endured countless torments.
They no longer dared to resist.
“We’ll talk later.”
Ji Qing waved his hand, collected the three Asura women into his Immortal Mansion, and then returned to his Cave Dwelling in the City Lord’s Mansion.
Ji Qing released the three Asura women.
The three women remained respectful.
“Why were you three captured? I remember that the Asura God Clan lives in the Asura Blood Sea, and with your Asura Ancestral God, it shouldn’t be easy for many to capture you.”
Ji Qing asked.
It was actually quite rare for Fourth Order Divine Races from the Asura God Clan to be captured.
Among the various Divine Races, the Asura God Clan was a very special group.
They were born and lived in the Asura Blood Sea.
With the Asura Ancestral God present, no one dared to act presumptuously in the Asura Blood Sea.
The three women’s expressions dimmed, and they replied softly, “Master, we three were lured out of the Asura Blood Sea and then captured. Many Asura God Clan warriors were with us, but unfortunately, they all died in battle…”
Ji Qing pondered.
“I heard that after the death of an Asura God Clan member, they all return to the Asura Blood Sea, and within the Asura Blood Sea, countless corpses of Asura God Clan members have been integrated…”
“Yes, we Asura God Clan members are born in the Asura Blood Sea and return to it upon death.”
Ji Qing was very interested in the Asura Blood Sea.
The Asura Blood Sea should have a considerable amount of the Divine Race Essence Blood he desired.
However, Ji Qing dared not go to the Asura Blood Sea.
The Asura God Clan’s Ancestral God resided there.
If he went, he would be seeking death.
Ji Qing then inquired about many other matters concerning the Divine Races.
It was a pity that these three were only from the Asura God Clan and had never left the Asura Blood Sea in their lives. They knew very little about other Divine Races, even less than Ji Qing knew.
“What are your names?”
“We were born together and are named Xue Ji San, Xue Ji Liu, and Xue Ji Jiu respectively.”
The names of the Asura God Clan were truly simple and crude.
There were probably others like Xue Ji Si and Xue Ji Wu.
“Each of you, condense a drop of Essence Blood.”
The complexions of the three Asura women turned slightly pale.
Divine Race Essence Blood was their foundation.
Losing a drop meant a huge loss.
But Ji Qing was their master now, and they had to obey his command.
“Yes, Master.”
The three Xue Ji women immediately condensed a drop of Essence Blood.
Ji Qing waved his hand, opened his mouth, and swallowed.
The three drops of Essence Blood were directly swallowed into his body.
“What?”
Seeing this, the three Xue Ji women’s eyes widened, they couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
What did they see?
Ji Qing, a True Immortal, had directly swallowed their Essence Blood?
This was simply unbelievable.
As everyone knew, True Immortals could not refine Divine Race Essence Blood.
Divine Race Essence Blood was of no use to True Immortals at all.
On the contrary, it could damage the Immortal Spiritual Body.
But how could Ji Qing swallow Divine Race Essence Blood all of a sudden?
And it was three drops!
However, they soon understood the reason.
Ji Qing manifested his Chaos Demon God True Body.
A terrifying aura impacted the three Xue Ji women.
At the same time, these three drops of Fourth Order Divine Race Essence Blood also caused Ji Qing’s Chaos Demon God Bloodline to rapidly improve.
With just three drops, the progress surged by 30%.
It reached 41%.
With a few more drops, Ji Qing’s Chaos Demon God Bloodline would reach Fourth Order Perfection.
“What? Master is also a Divine Race?”
“What a terrifying aura! Although it’s also a Fourth Order aura, why does it feel so terrifying? We seem to be naturally suppressed by it?”
“Impossible! Even other Divine Races cannot suppress the Asura God Clan bloodline of the same realm. What kind of Divine Race is Master?”
“This aura… is somewhat similar to the prestige of the Ancestral God, but the Ancestral God relied on the Asura Blood Sea to have such prestige. While Master only possesses the Fourth Order Divine Race…”
The three Xue Ji women looked at Ji Qing’s Chaos Demon God True Body, feeling incredulous.
They had never seen this kind of Divine Race before.
They had never even heard of it.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing opened his eyes.
The three drops of Divine Race Essence Blood truly left him wanting more.
However, he also knew what Essence Blood meant to the Divine Race.
One drop was one thing.
If another two drops were taken, the three Xue Ji women would probably be completely ruined.
Ji Qing would not slaughter wantonly just to obtain Divine Race Essence Blood.
“I want a large amount of Divine Race Essence Blood. Do you know of any methods?”
Ji Qing asked.
“A large amount of Divine Race Essence Blood?”
The three women’s faces turned pale.
They immediately knelt down: “Please have mercy, Master. If more Essence Blood is taken from our bodies, we might not even be able to maintain the cultivation of a Fourth Order Divine Race…”
None of them truly feared that Ji Qing would act recklessly and insist on taking the Essence Blood from their bodies.
After all, their lives were now in Ji Qing’s hands.
If Ji Qing insisted on taking their Essence Blood, they would be unable to stop him.
“I am not taking the Essence Blood from your bodies. I just want you to tell me where a large amount of Divine Race Essence Blood can be obtained.”
The three Xue Ji women looked at each other, exchanging glances.
“Essence Blood comes from within the Divine Race. If Master hunts Divine Race members, then he can obtain Essence Blood…”
This was naturally one method.
“Master, there is actually another method. If only one drop of Essence Blood is taken from each Divine Race member, and there are enough Divine Race members, a lot of Divine Race Essence Blood can be obtained without causing any impact on the Divine Race.”
Xue Ji Jiu thought of a method.
She had roughly guessed Ji Qing’s principles.
As expected, Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
This was a method!
“Asura Divine Race… I’ve heard that your Asura Divine Race is divided into two factions: the Blood Asura and the Black Asura. The two factions are mortal enemies. You are Blood Asuras, right?”
“Yes, we are Blood Asuras. In fact, we were betrayed by the Black Asuras when we were captured this time…”
Mentioning the Black Asuras, the three Xue Ji women gnashed their teeth with hatred.
Compared to Immortals, they hated the Black Asuras even more.
“If you return to the vicinity of the Asura Blood Sea, can you lure out the Black Asuras?”
Ji Qing asked.
“We can! It’s just that Asura combat power is formidable, and the Black Asuras are even more insidious and cunning. Master is only a True Immortal, I’m afraid…”
Xue Ji San said with some hesitation.
Her meaning was very clear.
She was afraid Ji Qing couldn’t handle them.
“It’s fine. Just lure out the Black Asuras. But not now, wait another two years.”
The reason Ji Qing desperately wanted to improve his Chaos Demon God Bloodline quickly was because he had to take advantage of his current True Immortal realm to rely on the Martial Dao Mountain to obtain Martial Dao Origin, and strive to elevate his Chaos Demon God Bloodline to “Fifth Stage”.
Fifth Stage Divine Race members would be comparable to Immortal Lords.
But the prerequisite was that the Physical Body must reach Fourth Order Perfection.
Ji Qing did not climb the Martial Dao Mountain during the Great Emperor realm last time.
It was a waste of a Martial Dao Origin.
That was unavoidable.
At that time, Ji Qing could not obtain enough Divine Race Essence Blood.
But it was different now.
Since he had the capability, Ji Qing naturally did not want to waste Martial Dao Origin.
However, he still had to wait two years.
He had to abide by the agreement.
There were two years left until the ten-year deadline.
Time passed day by day.
In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
The ten-year period had arrived, and Ji Qing immediately got up to bid farewell to the Chen Family Patriarch.
“The ten years are up, and I should return to Xu Mi Immortal Sect. If the Chen family has any promising talents, they can directly enter Xu Mi Immortal Sect. As for what happens to your Chen family in the future, it will depend on yourselves.”
Ji Qing could not stay in Cangwu Immortal City forever.
The Chen Family Patriarch also knew that Ji Qing could not stay indefinitely.
Therefore, he immediately presented a box and said respectfully: “Senior Ji, this is the Ten Thousand Year Immortal Marrow treasured in the Chen family’s treasury. It was originally intended for the Old Ancestor to break through to Immortal Venerable, but the Old Ancestor left a little for the family. Senior Ji’s Immortal Spirit Body is not yet perfect, and this Immortal Marrow will be useful to you, as a token of my Chen family’s gratitude!”
“Immortal Marrow?”
Ji Qing did not stand on ceremony and took the box to look.
“Your Chen family has put in effort!”
Ji Qing accepted the Immortal Marrow, which was indeed a treasure he needed now.
This could even have some effect on breaking through to Immortal Venerable.
For Ji Qing, it was even more urgently needed now.
It was just a pity that Immortal Marrow was rare and could not be found.
It couldn’t be bought even if one wanted to.
Every portion of Immortal Marrow was a treasure of the major powers.
The best of treasures.
How could it be easily given out?
And the Chen family had taken out their ultimate treasure this time, their purpose was self-evident.
They wanted to forge a good relationship.
“As long as Senior is satisfied.”
Ji Qing accepted the Immortal Marrow, and then left his contact information via Communication Stone.
“If your Chen family faces a life-or-death crisis in the future, you can send me a Communication Talisman, and I will make one move then! Remember, you only have one chance, so think carefully before using it.”
Ji Qing said indifferently.
The Chen Family Patriarch was overjoyed.
He had overruled the objections and given away the Chen family’s ultimate treasure, the Immortal Marrow. What was his purpose?
Wasn’t it for this very sentence from Ji Qing?
Ji Qing was a peerless figure capable of defeating Immortal Lords.
His future achievement of Immortal Lord was a sure thing!
There was even a slim hope of him achieving Immortal Venerable.
Ji Qing’s promise was the Chen family’s lifeline.
It was their final trump card!
This Immortal Marrow was well worth the gift!
The Chen Family Patriarch had already made up his mind. Unless it was an absolute last resort, the Chen family would absolutely not use Ji Qing’s promise. This was possibly the promise of a future Immortal Venerable, how precious was that?
If Ji Qing hadn’t urgently needed Immortal Marrow right now, why would he have easily made such a promise?
“Thank you, Senior! Our Chen family will definitely not use Senior’s promise lightly. If Senior needs anything in the future, you can command us directly. The entire Chen family in Cangwu Immortal City will do our utmost!”
Ji Qing nodded.
“I’m leaving!”
Ji Qing took a step, bringing the three Xue Ji women with him, and vanished into Space.
