Chapter 288: Re-enters Heavenly Gate, Sixth Order Chaos Demon God! Mind Breaks Through To Eighth Realm, Eligible To Assault Immortal Venerable!
“Chaos Treasure? That is possible…”
Ji Qing jumped into the Years Gourd, but he couldn’t control it. This was not a treasure forged by man, but a natural divine treasure. In a strict sense, it was equivalent to materials.
Since it was just a material, it naturally could not be controlled.
Ji Qing now had a place to shelter.
He could only sense the situation outside the Years Gourd.
The situation outside was terrible.
It was even worse than Ji Qing had anticipated.
Ji Qing thought the space storm would subside soon, but in reality, the void storm did not subside.
One day, three days, five days, ten days…
Half a month had passed.
Not only had the space storm in the Chaos Space not subsided, but it had intensified.
With this level of space storm, even an Immortal Venerable would be torn apart.
In such a situation in the Chaos Space, who would dare to enter?
Ji Qing frowned.
He didn’t know what had happened to cause such a terrifying space storm in the Chaos Space, but it seemed impossible for this space storm to subside in a short period.
Since it couldn’t end in a short time, Ji Qing decided to stay in the Years Gourd and cultivate peacefully.
Moreover, Ji Qing even manifested his Chaos Demon God True Body.
This was the Chaos Space.
The Years Gourd could still absorb a large amount of Chaos Qi.
The cultivation of the Chaos Demon God True Body also required Chaos Qi.
Besides cultivating the Chaos Demon God True Body, Ji Qing was mainly cultivating the Perfect Immortal Lord Body.
Currently, the Perfect Immortal Lord Body had reached 50% progress, with only 50% left to reach perfection.
All the treasures that could improve the Immortal Lord Body had been exhausted.
Now, he could only wait for time to pass slowly.
But fortunately, Ji Qing had enough Immortal Crystals.
After all, Ji Qing still had his Immortal Mansion.
No matter how many Immortal Crystals he had, it was enough.
Anyway, the Years Gourd had a time flow rate ten times faster than the outside world, so if he cultivated peacefully, the progress of his Immortal Lord Body should not be too slow.
Thus, Ji Qing began to cultivate wholeheartedly.
Ji Qing was immersed in cultivation, and time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed.
However, the void storm in the Chaos Space showed no signs of stopping.
Outside, Stormy Seas had already been stirred up.
The immense change in the Chaos Space caused the Thirty-three Heavens to vibrate.
After all, many top True Immortals and Immortal Lords had gone to the Chaos Space.
As a result, such a terrifying space storm appeared in the Chaos Space, and even Immortal Venerables could no longer enter.
Wouldn’t those True Immortals and Immortal Lords all be dead?
The entire Immortal Realm’s attention was now focused on the Chaos Space.
“Heavens, what is going on? How did the Chaos Space suddenly erupt with a space storm?”
“It seems that the battle between two terrifying existences triggered a violent change in the Chaos Space, thus stirring up the space storm. And those two existences far surpassed Immortal Venerables; their titles cannot even be spoken directly.”
“As long as any True Immortal, Immortal Lord, or even Immortal Venerable has not come out of the Chaos Space, they are likely in grave danger, aren’t they?”
Many people were still unwilling to accept it.
They were still waiting.
Hoping for a miracle.
However, as time went by, many people slowly fell into despair.
Now that a hundred years had passed, many people knew that the cultivators who had not returned were likely never to return.
First Heaven, Xu Mi Immortal Sect, Purple Void Palace.
In the Steward Hall of Zi Xu Immortal Venerable, an Elder cautiously walked in.
This Elder was also an Immortal Lord.
But what was an Immortal Lord before Zi Xu Immortal Venerable?
The Steward Hall Elder had also come with his heart in his mouth. He did not want to come unless it was absolutely necessary.
But there was no other way.
The internal drawing of lots in the Steward Hall had fallen to him.
He had to come!
Therefore, “Elder Zhao” could only come to the Purple Void Palace.
“Steward Hall Elder Zhao Kun, pays respects to Zi Xu Immortal Venerable!”
Zhao Kun’s attitude was very respectful.
He didn’t even dare to look at Zi Xu Immortal Venerable.
Because if she knew the purpose of his visit, this Zi Xu Immortal Venerable would likely not be so easy to talk to.
“Speak, what business do you have here?”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable asked slowly.
Zhao Kun gritted his teeth and said solemnly, “Immortal Venerable, I am here regarding Immortal Lord Ji. Immortal Lord Ji has been missing for over a hundred years, and the space storm in the Chaos Space has not ended. In over a hundred years, Immortal Lord Ji is likely already deceased. The Steward Hall is now going to reclaim the Golden Toad Palace, so…”
Zhao Kun hadn’t finished speaking.
Suddenly, he felt a suffocating, terrifying aura.
“Bang.”
The next moment, Zhao Kun was directly thrown out of the Purple Void Palace by a terrifying force.
“Go back and tell the Steward Hall that Ji Qing is only missing, he is not dead. Who dares to reclaim the Golden Toad Palace?”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable’s voice echoed through the void.
Many cultivators of the Xu Mi Immortal Sect heard Zi Xu Immortal Venerable’s words.
As well as the anger contained within the voice.
This was the wrath of an Immortal Venerable!
“Which Immortal Venerable is this, to be so enraged?”
“Who else could it be but Zi Xu Immortal Venerable.”
“Zi Xu Immortal Venerable? Is it because of her Direct Disciple?”
“Ji Qing has been missing for over a hundred years, and he went to the Chaos Space at the time. Therefore, the Steward Hall believes Ji Qing is dead and wants to reclaim the Golden Toad Palace. Isn’t that what angered Zi Xu Immortal Venerable?”
“So that’s how it is… Why did the Steward Hall provoke Zi Xu Immortal Venerable? The current Zi Xu Immortal Venerable is someone other Immortal Venerables dare not anger, let alone the Steward Hall? As long as Zi Xu Immortal Venerable is here, the Steward Hall will never be able to reclaim the Golden Toad Palace. Alas, thinking back to that year, how brilliant Ji Qing was! He was on the Immortal Venerable Candidate List, and Zi Xu Immortal Venerable had high hopes for him, even to the point of inheriting her legacy, but he ended up dying in the Chaos Space…”
Such discussions could be seen everywhere.
Golden Toad Palace, deserted.
Ever since the news of Ji Qing’s disappearance spread more than a hundred years ago, almost no one had visited the Golden Toad Palace.
Currently, only Baoyue, Ji Yao, and Yunmeng Goddess resided in the Golden Toad Palace.
The three of them were listening to Zi Xu Immortal Venerable’s voice echoing in the void.
The three looked at each other.
Their expressions were all dejected.
“It’s Zi Xu Immortal Venerable, Big Brother’s Master…”
Ji Yao knew that if it weren’t for Zi Xu Immortal Venerable over the years, they would have already been kicked out of the Golden Toad Palace.
The Golden Toad Palace was merely a Cave Dwelling assigned to Ji Qing by the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
Once Ji Qing died.
Or if Ji Qing achieved the rank of Immortal Venerable, the Golden Toad Palace would naturally be reclaimed.
But they were not disciples of the Xu Mi Immortal Sect, and they could still live in the Golden Toad Palace all because of Zi Xu Immortal Venerable.
After all, who would dare to offend Zi Xu Immortal Venerable?
However, the three women were not greedy for the Golden Toad Palace; rather, they were unwilling to believe that Ji Qing was dead.
“Do you think, Big Brother really…”
Ji Yao couldn’t help but ask.
“No, Fellow Daoist Ji will never die!”
Baoyue spoke first.
Baoyue was still a Void Immortal.
Her voice was resolute.
Don’t know when it started, Baoyue seemed to have a blind confidence in Ji Qing.
More confident than in herself.
She absolutely refused to believe that Ji Qing would die.
Even if the Chaos Space had erupted with a space storm.
Even if Immortal Venerables had fallen in the Chaos Space.
But she simply refused to believe Ji Qing would perish.
Yunmeng Goddess also slowly said, “Fellow Daoist Ji is a Chaos Demon God. By rights, in the Chaos Space, Fellow Daoist Ji should be in his element. How could he perish? Even if Immortal Venerables died, I wouldn’t believe Fellow Daoist Ji would perish in the Chaos Space…”
Yunmeng Goddess also had the Chaos Demon God Bloodline.
She knew some of the “secrets” of Chaos Demon Gods.
The Chaos Space was the “homeland” of Chaos Demon Gods.
She absolutely refused to believe that Ji Qing would die in the Chaos Space.
There must be some obstruction preventing Ji Qing from leaving the Chaos Space temporarily and returning.
It should be the space storm.
When the space storm completely subsided, Ji Qing should be able to return to the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
But Yunmeng Goddess couldn’t say these words.
After all, Chaos Demon God was Ji Qing’s secret.
But deep down, Yunmeng Goddess and Baoyue might both have a thought.
Ji Qing, is he really not dead?
Perhaps, they were just afraid to face it.
It had been over a hundred years.
Would they have to wait another thousand years?
“No matter what, let’s wait until the space storm in the Chaos Space calms down and see…”
Yunmeng Goddess’s words also strengthened Ji Yao’s belief.
However, the space storm in the Chaos Space showed no signs of subsiding.
One hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years, four hundred years, five hundred years…
Finally, the space storm in the Chaos Space gradually subsided.
However, who would believe that Ji Qing was still alive?
The Golden Toad Palace had been preserved.
But that was due to Zi Xu Immortal Venerable’s deterrence.
Who dared to take away the Golden Toad Palace?
But even Ji Yao, Yunmeng Goddess, and Baoyue had actually despaired.
Deep down, they had also implicitly accepted the fact of Ji Qing’s demise.
After all, it had been five hundred years. No matter how powerful Ji Qing was, he couldn’t withstand the space storm in the Chaos Space for five hundred years…
…
In the Chaos Space, inside the Years Gourd.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing suddenly opened his eyes.
“Finally… perfection!”
There was a sense of weathered life in Ji Qing’s eyes.
He had been cultivating wholeheartedly in the Years Gourd.
He had never undergone such a long period of secluded cultivation.
Only when the Perfect Immortal Lord Body reached perfection did Ji Qing awaken from his deep meditative state.
“I have been cultivating in the Years Gourd for five thousand years?”
Ji Qing calculated slightly.
He felt incredulous in his heart.
Five thousand years!
A full five thousand years!
Although the time flow rate in the Years Gourd was 10:1 compared to the outside, Ji Qing had genuinely cultivated for five thousand years, and his lifespan had decreased by five thousand years.
This point was irrefutable.
However, only five hundred years had passed in the outside world.
But even five hundred years was not a short time.
Ji Qing immediately checked his own data.
Ji Qing: Immortal Lord
Perfect Immortal Lord Body: 100% perfection.
Young Chaos Demon God: Fifth Stage 100% Perfection
Heavenly Mandate Saber: Amplification 50% （ Perfection ）
Mind: Seventh Realm Tenth Order （ Immortal Characteristic ）
Immortal Points: 83.2 points
I have to say, after five thousand years of hard cultivation, Ji Qing’s various data have improved rapidly.
First, the Perfect Immortal Lord Body reached perfection.
This is the most important.
Then there are the young Chaos Demon Gods, their progress has also reached 100%, which means they are at the Fifth Stage perfection.
This is truly an unexpected joy.
His cultivation efficiency was twice as fast as that of a perfect Immortal Lord body!
This is also thanks to the fact that this is Chaos Space, where Chaos Qi is inexhaustible.
For a full five thousand years, how much Chaos Qi did the Young Chaos Demon God devour?
This is how he finally reached the Perfection of the Fifth Stage.
Otherwise.
Even with more time, without Chaos Qi, young Chaos Demon Gods wouldn’t be able to reach perfection, let alone grow even a tiny bit.
However, what surprised Ji Qing the most was his mind.
Five thousand years of hard cultivation within the Years Gourd.
He clearly had not cultivated his mind.
But his mind, over the course of five years, naturally improved from Seventh Realm Eighth Stage to the current Seventh Realm Tenth Stage.
This is basically the mind of the Seventh Realm perfection.
Only a little opportunity is needed to break through to the Eighth Realm Spirit!
“The Perfect Immortal Lord Body is complete, the Fifth Stage Chaos Demon God is complete, the Seventh Realm of the Spirit is complete… After five thousand years of secluded cultivation, basically all my methods have reached their peak and can no longer advance…”
This is the true extreme!
Ji Qing could no longer improve.
Ji Qing carefully sensed the Chaos Space.
“The space storm is gradually subsiding?”
Ji Qing’s heart stirred.
Although there was still a space storm at this moment, he could also rely on the Chaos Demon God to resist it.
The key is that there are three Chaos Space Tokens, which can also barely protect him.
Ji Qing no longer hesitated.
He immediately emerged from the Years Gourd.
The three tokens all emitted radiance, shielding Ji Qing.
With the three tokens stacked together, the defensive power indeed greatly increased.
Although some Chaos Space Tokens were “wasted,” in this situation, stability was still the priority.
Moreover, Ji Qing was also extremely careful and cautious.
If any changes occur, he will hide within the Years Gourd at any time.
Ji Qing looked around.
He didn’t know where he had drifted to now.
After all, once he hid in the Years Gourd, he could no longer control the Years Gourd.
The Years Gourd also went with the flow, constantly changing its position within the space storm.
Five hundred years, and finally, we have arrived here.
Ji Qing felt the rich Chaos Qi here.
He thought of a possibility.
Could it be that this is the core area of the Chaos Space?
There is indeed such a possibility.
Three Chaos Space Tokens were still not enough to completely block the erosion of Chaos Qi.
Only the core area of the Chaos Space would be like this.
After all, Ji Qing’s three Chaos Tokens were merely from the inner layers, Chaos Tokens of the Immortal Lord level.
Upon arriving at the core region of this Chaos Space, the inner Chaos Token’s effect is no longer significant.
“Do you still need to return to the Years Gourd?”
Ji Qing did not want to return to the Years Gourd now.
In the Years Gourd, it was safe, indeed.
But how can one leave the Chaos Space?
Ji Qing thought for a moment, then simply manifested his young Chaos Demon God true body.
At that moment, Ji Qing revealed his Chaos Demon God True Body.
His Chaos Demon God True Body was tens of thousands of feet tall.
Moreover, he felt extremely comfortable within the Chaos Space.
It was just like a fish returning to water.
It seemed he was destined to live in Chaos.
That can also be said to be correct.
Chaos Demon Gods indeed should live in the Chaos.
“Hoo…”
Fellow Daoist Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the Chaos Demon God’s true body can withstand the Chaos Qi in the core area of the Chaos Space.
Then he could leave the Chaos Space.
“Wait, what is this?”
Ji Qing’s eyes widened.
What did he see?
Peculiar objects floated everywhere.
Ji Qing’s heart tensed. Anything that could remain intact even within a space storm was definitely a treasure!
Therefore, Ji Qing was not polite and immediately stored everything he encountered in the Years Gourd.
Anyway, the Years Gourd forms its own heaven and earth, essentially containing a world within it.
Compared to the ordinary world, it’s a bit small, but storing some treasures is as easy as pie.
All the treasures can be stored within.
Ji Qing never expected that after the space storm, the Chaos Space would be filled with treasures everywhere.
But thinking about it carefully, it also seemed quite normal.
The space storm churned the Chaos Space into chaos.
Many treasures were naturally brought out and endured the “test” of the space storm.
Treasures flew everywhere.
The critical Chaos Space is now empty.
Only Ji Qing remained.
No one contested the treasure with Ji Qing.
Then these treasures naturally belong to Ji Qing.
Ji Qing collected various treasures as he walked.
He knew that this time he had struck it rich!
It’s a real fortune!
Ji Qing traveled all the way from the core area to the inner layers and then to the outer periphery.
Along the way, any treasure encountered was collected by Ji Qing into the Years Gourd.
Soon, Ji Qing arrived at the periphery of the Chaos Space.
If Ji Qing goes any further, he will leave the Chaos Space.
Actually, there are definitely still many treasures in the Chaos Space now.
If Ji Qing continued searching in the Chaos Space, perhaps he could still obtain many Treasures.
But Ji Qing thought of Guān Xīng Xiān Jūn.
You can’t be too greedy!
He has already obtained enough treasures.
Do you still want to catch all the treasures within the entire Chaos Space in one go?
The space storm within the Chaos Space has not completely subsided yet.
What if we encounter a space storm again?
Or, encounter some other dangers.
Wouldn’t all the treasures he obtained before be wasted then?
Greed is the greatest taboo for humans!
You should know when to stop!
These treasures are enough for Ji Qing to cultivate for a long time even after achieving Immortal Venerable.
Moreover, with five hundred years having passed, the Xu Mi Immortal Sect definitely wouldn’t be able to contact him. What would Baoyue, Yunmeng Goddess, and Ji Yao do?
Five hundred years is not a short time.
Ji Qing now wishes to return to Xu Mi Immortal Sect as soon as possible.
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing no longer hesitated and directly stepped out, leaving the Chaos Space.
At this moment, above the Thirty-three Heavens, outside the Chaos Space.
It gathered many cultivators.
There are True Immortals, Immortal Lords, and even Immortal Venerables.
They all want to enter the Chaos Space.
It’s just that because there are still space storms within the Chaos Space, he has been delayed in entering the Chaos Space.
Therefore, they simply waited outside the Chaos Space.
As long as the space storm completely subsides, they will enter the Chaos Space.
They also wanted to try their luck.
Space storms are crises, but they are also opportunities.
Perhaps if they enter, they will encounter many Chaos Treasures.
After all, to gain great rewards, one still needs to take some risks.
“Swish.”
Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out of the Chaos Space.
“Someone has come out?”
“Who is it?”
“Could it be a cultivator who previously ventured into the Chaos Space?”
“The space storm hasn’t completely subsided yet. Venturing in now carries great risk.”
“This person seems somewhat familiar…”
“Wait, this person is Ji Qing from the Xu Mi Immortal Sect of the First Heaven! Centuries ago, Ji Qing was on the Immortal Venerable Candidate List. It was just because he went to the Chaos Space that the Chaos Space erupted with a space storm, and then he disappeared without a trace. But he actually came out? He’s been enduring in the Chaos Space for five hundred years?”
When someone recognized Ji Qing.
For a time, many people were dumbfounded.
It has really been… hard to imagine, spending over five hundred years in the Chaos Space.
Still alive?
“Hmm?”
Ji Qing’s gaze swept over.
There are so many cultivators outside.
There are True Immortals, Immortal Lords, and even Immortal Venerables.
Although Ji Qing was surprised in his heart, his expression remained calm.
“Fellow Daoist, are you Immortal Monarch Ji Qing of the Xu Mi Immortal Sect from the First Heaven?”
One of the Immortal Lords spoke and asked.
“Yes.”
“That Fellow Daoist is truly remarkable, to have been able to spend five hundred years within the Chaos Space and safely pass through the space storms within it, truly remarkable!”
“It was just luck. Ji Mou happened to find a Chaos Treasure in the Chaos Space and hid inside it, which allowed me to safely survive the space storm.”
What Ji Qing said is also a fact.
He answered these “personal questions.”
The reason is very simple.
Because the Immortal Venerable’s gaze was on him.
And it wasn’t just one gaze.
Immortal Lord, Ji Qing doesn’t care.
But the Immortal Venerable, Ji Qing was still very solemn.
“Chaos Treasures? That’s a possibility…”
Many people were immediately relieved upon hearing Ji Qing’s explanation.
That made sense.
There were many treasures in the Chaos Space, and it was normal for some treasures to withstand the space storms.
Perhaps Ji Qing was indeed lucky and obtained a Chaos Treasure, hiding within another Chaos Treasure.
From beginning to end, those Immortal Venerables did not ask.
The reason was also very simple.
Ji Qing was not just a simple Immortal Lord.
Ji Qing had the Xu Mi Immortal Sect behind him, and was even a Direct Disciple of an Immortal Venerable.
If it was within the Chaos Space, it would be fine.
No one would know.
But outside the Chaos Space, even an Immortal Venerable would not dare to openly trouble Ji Qing.
“Fellow Daoists, the space storms in the Chaos Space are now stabilizing, and the Chaos Space Token can barely protect an Immortal Lord Body. More importantly, after enduring the space storms, the place is filled with Chaos Treasures. For those seeking opportunities, now is the best time!”
After Ji Qing finished speaking, he didn’t explain further and directly traversed space, disappearing without a trace.
However, Ji Qing’s words immediately caused a huge stir outside the Chaos Space.
Many people’s hearts immediately became fiery.
Before, they were outside the Chaos Space and only knew that the space storms had not completely subsided, so they had been waiting and did not dare to venture into the Chaos Space.
But now Ji Qing said that the space storms in the Chaos Space had stabilized and the Chaos Space Token could protect them.
So what were they waiting for?
Crucially, Ji Qing also said that the Chaos Space was filled with treasures.
This was very likely.
Ji Qing would definitely not lie about such a thing.
Otherwise, he would offend everyone.
Who would be so foolish as to offend everyone?
So, in all likelihood, what Ji Qing said was true.
Some cultivators also saw through Ji Qing’s intentions.
“Ji Qing most likely obtained great benefits in the Chaos Space, countless Chaos Treasures. He is now saying that the Chaos Space is filled with treasures to divert attention.”
“This method is quite clever. Since the Chaos Space is filled with treasures, who would still covet the treasures on him?”
“However, even if we know Ji Qing’s intentions, so what? This is an open scheme. At this moment, we have to venture into the Chaos Space, otherwise we will truly get nothing…”
Indeed, this was an open scheme.
It was useless to know Ji Qing’s intentions.
Anyone who wanted to obtain Chaos Treasures had to hurry to the Chaos Space.
For a time, many cultivators rushed into the Chaos Space without hesitation.
All to seize the initiative and contend for the treasures within the Chaos Space!
…
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing’s figure flickered.
He had traversed space and returned to the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
At this moment, the Xu Mi Immortal Sect had not yet received news of Ji Qing’s return.
After all, the cultivators outside the Chaos Space were busy contending for treasures inside the Chaos Space; who would send a message immediately?
“Finally back…”
Ji Qing murmured softly.
For the Xu Mi Immortal Sect, he had not returned for five hundred years.
But for Ji Qing, he had actually not returned for five thousand years…
Outside the Golden Toad Palace.
Ji Yao felt a shadow and looked up, shouting, “Who is outside the Golden Toad Palace? Don’t you know this is…”
Before she could finish speaking, her eyes widened, staring intently at the figure before her, an expression of disbelief on her face.
“Brother… is that you? Am I hallucinating?”
Ji Yao rubbed her eyes.
How could she have suddenly seen Ji Qing?
Impossible, it must be a hallucination!
However, after Ji Yao rubbed her eyes, she still saw that familiar figure.
“Ji Yao, you’re not hallucinating, it’s me, I’m back…”
Ji Qing’s voice entered Ji Yao’s ears.
“Boom.”
Ji Yao’s mind roared.
Not a hallucination!
It really wasn’t a hallucination!
Ji Qing actually came back?!
“Brother!”
Ji Yao cried out and immediately touched Ji Qing’s arm.
It was real!
Ji Qing had truly returned!
At the same time, Baoyue and Yunmeng Goddess also rushed out.
When they saw Ji Qing, they also widened their eyes.
“Ji… Fellow Daoist Ji?!”
Baoyue could hardly believe her eyes.
Even her voice was trembling.
Yunmeng Goddess, however, was much calmer, as she could distinctly sense the Chaos Demon God bloodline from Ji Qing.
That’s right.
It was truly Ji Qing who had returned!
Ji Qing returned to the Golden Toad Palace and recounted his encounters in the Chaos Space with Ji Yao and the other two.
Upon hearing that Ji Qing had escaped into a Chaos Treasure, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“As expected, Fellow Daoist Ji really hid himself within a Chaos Treasure to escape the space storms…”
Yunmeng Goddess had had this guess before.
But it was only a guess.
Now it was Ji Qing himself who admitted it.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, you have been away for five hundred years. The reason the Golden Toad Palace was not taken away is thanks to Zi Xu Immortal Venerable… Zi Xu Immortal Venerable has been under immense pressure.”
Baoyue said in a deep voice.
“Master… I will go see Master immediately!”
Ji Qing’s heart tightened.
He hadn’t expected his Master to protect the Golden Toad Palace for hundreds of years.
Even though many people thought Ji Qing was dead, his Master still protected the Golden Toad Palace.
He even refused to believe that Ji Qing was dead.
They say adversity reveals true friendship.
This supposed death of Ji Qing had truly shown him who cared about him the most.
Besides Baoyue and the others, it was his Master.
Ji Qing immediately got up and went to the Purple Void Palace.
When Ji Qing saw that familiar figure, he was filled with emotion.
“Disciple Ji Qing, greetings Master!”
“Boom.”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable’s expression changed drastically.
She looked at Ji Qing as if she couldn’t believe it.
“You’re not dead?”
“Disciple is not dead, I was fortunate enough to survive the space storms…”
Ji Qing told Zi Xu Immortal Venerable everything he had experienced in the Chaos Space, word for word.
“Take out the Years Gourd and let me see it.”
Ji Qing immediately produced the Years Gourd.
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable looked carefully and immediately understood.
Ji Qing, he truly had great fortune.
To actually encounter a Supreme Treasure like the Years Gourd.
“Good, Ji Qing, you are a person of great fortune. Even the space storms in the Chaos Space could not harm you, and instead, you benefited from misfortune and obtained such a Supreme Treasure. Remember, you must not show the Years Gourd to anyone else, nor can you leak any news about the Years Gourd to others. Do you understand?”
“Disciple understands!”
Ji Qing’s heart tightened.
He knew that the Years Gourd contained its own world, and more importantly, the flow of time was different, which involved time.
It was definitely no trivial matter.
He hadn’t expected his Master to be so serious.
Clearly, the Years Gourd was more precious than Ji Qing had imagined.
“Ji Qing, it’s good that you’re back. Now that you’re back, you’re safe…”
Ji Qing chatted with his Master for several hours.
Finally, Ji Qing took his leave.
However, the news of Ji Qing’s return had spread rapidly throughout the Xu Mi Immortal Sect within these few hours.
After all, Ji Qing was a prominent figure.
Especially with subsequent news arriving from outside the Chaos Space, corroborating Ji Qing’s return.
“Immortal Lord Ji actually returned? It’s truly unbelievable, even the space storms that lasted for hundreds of years couldn’t do anything to Immortal Lord Ji.”
“It is said that Immortal Lord Ji obtained a Chaos Treasure and hid within it, thus surviving the space storms. It can be considered quite fortunate.”
“Indeed very fortunate. Even among Chaos Treasures, many might not be able to withstand hundreds of years of space storms, but the Chaos Treasure Immortal Lord Ji obtained could definitely withstand the space storms.”
“It is rumored that this trip was also a fortunate turn of events for Immortal Lord Ji. He has made great gains in the Chaos Space, who knows how many Chaos Treasures he obtained. His potential has likely further improved, and he is getting closer and closer to becoming an Immortal Venerable…”
Many people, upon hearing the news, even specially observed outside the Golden Toad Palace.
As a result, they actually saw Ji Qing.
Instantly, a large amount of Fortune converged.
“Five hundred years. The Immortal Realm’s Fortune has accumulated quite a bit. Especially this wave, with my safe return, news will spread throughout the Thirty-three Heavens, and the Immortal Realm’s Fortune will see a surge…”
Ji Qing was also very happy.
He indeed needed Fortune.
After all, his Mind had also reached Perfection in the Seventh Realm, and he still relied on using his heart to replace heaven’s heart in the Immortal Realm to break through to the Eighth Realm. The more Fortune, the better.
However, Ji Qing was not in a hurry.
He spent several months with Ji Yao and the other two women in the Golden Toad Palace.
He heard many rumors from within the Chaos Space.
For example, some Immortal Lords and True Immortals had made great gains.
There were even Immortal Venerables making a move, and so on.
Many people seemed to understand that the current Chaos Space was truly filled with treasures everywhere, and they were all trying every means to enter the Chaos Space to contend for treasures.
On the other hand, as time slowly passed, Ji Qing was no longer the focus of attention.
The Fortune Ji Qing had gained gradually returned to the level it was before his return to the Golden Toad Palace.
However, with so much Fortune, Ji Qing felt it was enough!
Thus, Ji Qing bid farewell to Ji Yao and the others.
He left the Xu Mi Immortal Sect once more and came to the Demon Ruins.
Upon arriving in the Demon Ruins, Ji Qing intended to open the Heavenly Gate.
He needed the Martial Dao Origin from the Martial Dao Mountain.
After all, his Chaos Demon God True Body had already reached Fifth Stage Perfection.
Not much was needed, just a portion of Martial Dao Origin would be enough to break through the bottleneck and transform the Chaos Demon God Body into Sixth Order!
Sixth Order, that was comparable to a true Immortal Venerable!
Once successful, Ji Qing’s Chaos Demon God True Body would be comparable to the Immortal Venerable level, and even when his Chaos Demon God True Body erupted with full power, it would be more than just an ordinary Immortal Venerable.
Therefore, Ji Qing came to the Demon Ruins.
The surroundings were very vast, and even if he opened the Heavenly Gate, there would be no one to know.
With all preparations complete, Ji Qing no longer hesitated.
With a thought,
He directly threw a punch at the void of the Demon Ruins.
Soon, a portal appeared.
It was precisely the Heavenly Gate.
Ji Qing was already extremely familiar with the Heavenly Gate. The moment the Heavenly Gate appeared, Ji Qing leaped into it.
Inside the Heavenly Gate, Ji Qing saw a Martial Dao Mountain that stretched as far as the eye could see.
He immediately climbed the Martial Dao Mountain.
Soon, he reached the position of ten million li.
This was the height where Ji Qing had obtained a Martial Dao Origin last time.
Last time, Ji Qing was a True Immortal.
This time, Ji Qing is an Immortal Lord.
He had to climb one hundred million li to obtain a Martial Dao Origin.
Thus, Ji Qing began climbing the Martial Dao Mountain as usual.
Twenty million li, thirty million li, forty million li, fifty million li…
Ji Qing began to feel immense pressure.
Both his Immortal Lord Body and Chaos Demon God Body felt heavy pressure.
But Ji Qing could still withstand it.
After all, whether it was the Perfect Immortal Lord Body or the Chaos Demon God Body, they were incredibly powerful, and this pressure was nothing.
Finally, Ji Qing climbed to one hundred million li on the Martial Dao Mountain!
Instantly, the Martial Dao Mountain roared.
A Martial Dao Origin descended from the sky and entered Ji Qing’s body.
With the unremarkable Martial Dao Origin entering his body, Ji Qing manifested his Chaos Demon God Body.
He could clearly feel that his Chaos Demon God Body, which had reached Perfection of the Fifth Stage, had broken through the bottleneck and was transforming towards the Sixth Order.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing was teleported out of the Heavenly Gate.
In the vast Black Ruins, Ji Qing manifested his ten-thousand-zhang tall Chaos Demon God Body.
His aura was extremely terrifying.
Afterward, the Chaos Demon God Body began to rapidly expand.
Twenty thousand zhang, thirty thousand zhang, forty thousand zhang, fifty thousand zhang…
In the blink of an eye, Ji Qing’s Chaos Demon God Body expanded to one hundred thousand zhang!
And a terrifying aura emanated from all around him.
Even the surrounding void began to distort.
That was the uncontrolled terrifying power of Ji Qing’s Chaos Demon God Body leaking out, causing the void to twist.
Of course, this was happening because Ji Qing had just transformed and couldn’t perfectly control his power.
Once he got used to it and perfectly controlled his power, this would no longer happen.
Ji Qing was overjoyed.
He broke through already?
The Sixth Order!
If it were a Sixth Order Giant Spirit God, they would be comparable to an Immortal Venerable.
Let alone a Chaos Demon God?
Ji Qing mobilized his Chaos Demon God Body and punched towards the void.
Instantly, the void shattered.
It must be known that this was the Immortal Realm.
The space here was incredibly stable.
Previously, Ji Qing could only slightly break the space if he went all out.
But now?
With a casual punch, the space shattered instantly.
This demonstrated the powerful strength of Ji Qing’s Chaos Demon God Body at this moment.
Ji Qing estimated that this strike had about 1500 times the True Immortal combat power.
How terrifying was this?
This was only the initial stage of the Sixth Order.
In the future, as his Chaos Demon God Body improved, his strength would continue to climb.
“An ordinary Immortal Venerable, just after breaking through, would likely only have 1000 times the True Immortal combat power! The Chaos Demon God Bloodline is truly terrifying, reaching 1500 times the True Immortal combat power right after breaking through.”
“But the strongest should be my Perfect Immortal Lord Body. Once it breaks through to Immortal Venerable, it will be at least 2000 times the True Immortal combat power! However, the difficulty of breaking through from Immortal Lord to Immortal Venerable is much higher! The hurdle of the mind alone stops countless Immortal Lords…”
Ji Qing could finally relax.
Ji Qing’s Perfect Immortal Lord Body had reached Perfection, combined with Saber Technique amplification and the Immortal Slaying Saber, his combat power had now climbed to 720 times the True Immortal combat power.
But no matter how much he climbed, he was still a bit short of becoming an Immortal Venerable.
This was normal.
The gap between an Immortal Lord and an Immortal Venerable was too great.
Even with Ji Qing’s Perfect Immortal Lord Body, it was impossible to match the combat power of an Immortal Venerable.
He was still a little short.
But now, things were different.
Now, Ji Qing’s Chaos Demon God Body had reached the Sixth Order, which was genuine Immortal Venerable combat power!
Moreover, it far surpassed ordinary Immortal Venerables.
After all, the Chaos Demon God Bloodline was a level higher than the Divine Race Bloodline.
Naturally, its combat power was also extraordinary.
“Now, all that’s left is the mind…”
Ji Qing looked up at the void.
He felt that his current fortune was sufficient.
Ji Qing made a decisive move.
He decided to use his heart to replace heaven’s heart, allowing his mind to break through to the Eighth Realm!
Of course, not in the Demon Ruins.
Breaking through the mind required someone to guard him.
A place of absolute safety was needed.
Ji Qing immediately traversed space and returned to the Golden Toad Palace.
Ji Qing was very safe within the Golden Toad Palace.
Therefore, Ji Qing announced that he was going into seclusion.
No one was to disturb him.
Ji Yao, Baoyue, and Yunmeng Goddess all knew that Ji Qing’s current seclusion was very important.
Therefore, the three of them acted as his guardians.
The Golden Toad Palace also closed its doors.
Seeing the Golden Toad Palace in such a state of readiness, many people in the Xu Mi Immortal Sect made guesses, wondering if Ji Qing was about to break through to Immortal Venerable.
This was just speculation.
Breaking through to Immortal Venerable in the Golden Toad Palace was unlikely.
Breaking through to Immortal Venerable was such an important matter.
Ji Qing was not breaking through to Immortal Venerable, but his mind was undergoing a breakthrough.
After entering the secret chamber, Ji Qing adjusted his state and no longer hesitated.
“Boom.”
Ji Qing’s Spiritual Imprint merged with the Immortal Realm Origin.
Instantly, Ji Qing used his heart to replace heaven’s heart.
He seemed to have transformed into the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm!
However, how terrifying was the Immortal Realm?
Ji Qing’s mind simply couldn’t bear it, and he could only desperately consume his fortune.
With the massive consumption of fortune, Ji Qing finally managed to hold on.
But he was already immersed in the wondrous feelings of embodying the Heavenly Dao.
He felt as if he had truly become the Heavenly Dao, capable of controlling all things in heaven and earth.
Controlling everything.
That feeling was indescribable, so wonderful.
Unfortunately, in just an instant, his fortune was completely depleted.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing woke up, his consciousness returning.
“Heavenly Dao…”
Ji Qing was filled with emotion.
The feeling of embodying the Heavenly Dao was intoxicating.
But his fortune could only support him for such a short time.
However, this short period was already enough.
Ji Qing immediately checked his own mind.
“Mind: Eighth Realm First Order （ Immortal Characteristic ）”
Ji Qing saw that his mind had indeed broken through from the Seventh Realm to the Eighth Realm!
Ji Qing smiled.
From a Seventh Realm mind to an Eighth Realm mind.
It was a qualitative leap.
To achieve Immortal Venerable, one must have an Eighth Realm mind.
Now, Ji Qing’s Perfect Immortal Lord Body had reached Perfection.
His mind had also reached the Eighth Realm.
Theoretically, Ji Qing now met the conditions to become an “Immortal Venerable”.
He could now attempt to break through to Immortal Venerable!
