Chapter 291: Saber Slash On Floating Life Immortal Venerable! Ji Qing Enters Abyss Of The Great Dao, Immortal Slaying Saber Transforms Into Treasure Of The Great Dao!
Ji Qing’s saber was silent, like a ghost.
This is the second stance of the Void Shaking Saber, Moon Shadow Hidden Blade.
The current situation is also most suitable for the use of “Moon Shadow Hidden Blade.”
Silently, it traversed space and instantly arrived before Floating Life Immortal Venerable.
Floating Life Immortal Venerable didn’t even notice.
Then, blade light fiercely slashed at Mister Floating Life’s Great Dao Body.
It even bypassed that great bell.
Moon Shadow Hidden Blade increases power by 60%, plus the might of the Immortal Slaying Saber, this slash has already approached 5000 times True Immortal combat power.
How terrifying is such a slash?
Caught off guard, Floating Life Immortal Venerable’s face was full of astonishment.
Then…
With a “swish.”
Floating Life Immortal Venerable’s Great Dao Body was directly split by Ji Qing’s saber slash.
“No…”
Floating Life Immortal Venerable cried out in agony.
Even an Immortal Venerable cannot withstand a terrifying slash of 5000 times True Immortal combat power.
This is equivalent to five times the power of an Immortal Venerable.
Without that great bell, Floating Life Immortal Venerable is nothing.
This saber slash instantly annihilated nearly 50% of Floating Life Immortal Venerable’s Great Dao Body.
Floating Life Immortal Venerable was decisive.
With 50% of his Great Dao Body annihilated, without hesitation, he immediately used the remaining Great Dao Body to quickly differentiate into numerous clones.
These are true clones.
As long as each clone can escape, Floating Life Immortal Venerable will not die.
However, Ji Qing followed up with another saber slash.
As this saber slash was unleashed, the sky was filled with blade light.
The might of each saber slash was only slightly weaker than Moon Shadow Hidden Blade, but it covered an extremely vast area.
Within the area covered by the blade light, attempting to escape?
That would be no different from a fool’s dream.
This is the first stance of the Void Shaking Saber, Autumn Water Across the River!
With this saber slash, the void was filled with blade light. Floating Life Immortal Venerable attempted to divide and conquer, but instead played into Ji Qing’s hands, completely being countered by Ji Qing’s “Autumn Water Across the River” saber technique.
Under this one saber slash, all of Floating Life Immortal Venerable’s clones were annihilated.
“No…”
Floating Life Immortal Venerable cried out in agony.
Unfortunately, the remaining 50% of his Great Dao Body, having been divided, was annihilated in an instant.
Thus, Floating Life Immortal Venerable perished just like that.
Along with it, Ji Qing’s Demon Record immediately gained 100 Immortal Points.
This was because he had killed an Immortal Venerable-grade Demonic Immortal.
Silence!
The surroundings immediately fell silent.
Even with Nine Ge Immortal Venerable and the other four Immortal Venerables present, they were all stunned, as if in disbelief.
Floating Life Immortal Venerable had actually perished?
And he was killed by Ji Qing in just two saber slashes.
This was simply unbelievable.
One must know that Floating Life Immortal Venerable was already an old-established Immortal Venerable, his strength unfathomable.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the four Immortal Venerables to surround him and yet he still escaped.
Fortunately, Ji Qing made a move.
He killed Floating Life Immortal Venerable in just two slashes.
This was also the first Immortal Venerable Ji Qing had killed!
Ji Qing beckoned, and the great bell flew into his hand.
He had long coveted this great bell, so when he made his move, he had avoided it. Even though Floating Life Immortal Venerable was dead, the great bell remained intact.
With the great bell in hand, Ji Qing smiled and said, “Nine Ge Immortal Venerable, Floating Life Immortal Venerable is dead. Isn’t it time to fulfill your promise?”
Nine Ge Immortal Venerable naturally knew what Ji Qing meant.
The Azure Dao Fruit!
Ji Qing had to go and choose an Azure Dao Fruit.
Nine Ge Immortal Venerable looked at Ji Qing with a complex expression.
The four of them, as Immortal Venerables, could not even keep Floating Life Immortal Venerable.
But Ji Qing?
Two saber slashes!
He had only used two saber slashes to kill Floating Life Immortal Venerable.
Such strength was simply… unimaginable.
How could Ji Qing look like a newly promoted Immortal Venerable?
However, this time Ji Qing had killed Floating Life Immortal Venerable, and they had all seen just now that Floating Life Immortal Venerable was indeed possessed by a Demon Spirit, a true Demonic Immortal.
This was equivalent to removing a hidden danger from Kunlun Immortal Sect.
This was a good thing!
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ji. Since Floating Life Immortal Venerable has been executed, we will naturally fulfill our promise. Please follow me.”
Thus, Ji Qing followed behind Nine Ge Immortal Venerable and flew towards the depths of Kunlun Immortal Sect.
Soon, Ji Qing arrived at a place with fragrant flowers and birdsong, emanating a strange fragrance everywhere.
Ji Qing also saw a giant tree.
On it grew about ten fruits.
Each fruit contained extremely terrifying energy, and unlike ordinary immortal fruits, this energy seemed to subtly align with the “Great Dao.”
“Fellow Daoist Ji, this is the treasure of our Kunlun Immortal Sect, the Azure Ancient Tree. It bears ten Azure Dao Fruits. You may choose one freely.”
Ji Qing was also greatly amazed.
He immediately began to choose the Azure Dao Fruit that best suited his own Great Dao.
In the end, Ji Qing chose an Azure Dao Fruit.
This Azure Dao Fruit subtly aligned with “Space,” and should be related to the Space Great Dao.
It matched one of the three Great Daos within Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body.
In fact, several other Dao Fruits also matched Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body.
But he could only choose one.
Ji Qing also coveted the remaining Azure Dao Fruits.
But this was Kunlun Immortal Sect, and he dared not be presumptuous.
“Fellow Daoist Nine Ge, I have obtained the Azure Fruit, and I shall take my leave now.”
“Thank you for your assistance this time, Fellow Daoist Ji.”
Thus, Nine Ge Immortal Venerable watched Ji Qing depart from afar.
“Ji Qing… will likely not stop at the Immortal Venerable realm!”
Nine Ge Immortal Venerable sighed.
Ji Qing, carrying the great bell and the Azure Fruit, traversed space and returned to the Golden Toad Palace of Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
“Brother, you’re back?”
Ji Yao was very happy to see Ji Qing return.
“Yes, I’m back. I’m going into seclusion first.”
Ji Qing hurried off to seclusion.
He immediately took out the great bell.
This was a rare treasure obtained from Floating Life Immortal Venerable. It didn’t seem like an Immortal Venerable-level rare treasure, nor even an immortal treasure in the traditional sense.
It should be a rare treasure.
And there were no traces of refinement whatsoever.
It was an innate rare treasure.
All treasures that had been refined belonged to acquired treasures.
Those that were naturally formed by heaven and earth belonged to innate treasures.
In fact, there was no saying whether innate or acquired was stronger.
Acquired treasures could also be extremely powerful.
Innate treasures might have insufficient might or not meet the cultivator’s requirements.
This great bell before him should be an innate rare treasure. Ji Qing gently tapped it, and a bell sound arose, creating ripples in the void.
This was a rare treasure capable of suppressing and imprisoning space.
The reason Ji Qing was not suppressed or imprisoned back then was simple: Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body was too strong.
This great bell could not imprison it.
“Since it is an innate rare treasure and has no name, I shall call you the Void Suppressing Bell!”
Ji Qing immediately began to refine the Void Suppressing Bell.
With this great bell, Ji Qing now had a trump card rare treasure when facing other Immortal Venerables.
Coupled with his saber techniques,
they were truly a perfect match!
This was why Ji Qing favored the Void Suppressing Bell so much.
After refining the Void Suppressing Bell, Ji Qing took out the Azure Dao Fruit.
This Azure Dao Fruit exuded a strange fragrance.
Upon closer inspection, one could see the Dao Marks on the Azure Dao Fruit.
It was indeed magical.
Ji Qing immediately swallowed the Azure Dao Fruit.
Instantly, Ji Qing felt as if he had become a favorite of space, his every move and every action granting him an unimaginable perception of space.
He could even easily summon the Space Great Dao with a mere thought.
“This is the effect of the Azure Dao Fruit?”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
The effect was truly excellent.
Ji Qing no longer hesitated and immediately summoned the Space Great Dao Power to begin cultivating his Great Dao Body.
This process was still very slow.
But it was much faster than before.
2%, 3%, 4%, 5%…
Finally, the effect of the Azure Dao Fruit slowly disappeared.
Ji Qing checked his Great Dao Body.
“Great Dao Body: 8%”
Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body had improved by 7% progress. This was the effect of one Azure Dao Fruit.
Do not underestimate this 7% progress.
If cultivating step by step, 1% of the Great Dao Body would take a thousand years.
It wasn’t just Ji Qing who cultivated at this speed; other Immortal Venerables did too.
This was also why, in the vast Immortal Realm, it was basically only Immortal Venerables who were active.
Immortal Kings were too few!
Even Immortal Venerables were constantly cultivating their Great Dao Bodies.
Even achieving Great Dao Body Perfection would take at least 100,000 years.
Let alone Immortal Kings?
“No wonder even Master never mentioned Immortal Kings… From Immortal Venerable to Immortal King is enough to fill most Immortal Venerables with despair…”
Ji Qing muttered softly.
He knew that from Immortal Venerable onwards, every step became increasingly difficult.
But the difficulty reaching this point exceeded his imagination.
Ji Qing took out the Immortal Slaying Saber again.
This Immortal Slaying Saber was somewhat unusable.
Its might was too weak, and Ji Qing found it awkward to use.
Although the Immortal Slaying Saber was also an “Immortal Venerable” grade immortal treasure,
Ji Qing now understood that most so-called “Immortal Venerable” grade immortal treasures were actually just to deceive cultivators below the Immortal Venerable realm.
These “Immortal Venerable” grade immortal treasures fundamentally lacked Great Dao power.
This was also to allow Immortal Lords and True Immortals to use them.
If they truly had Great Dao power, then Immortal Lords and True Immortals would be completely unable to use them.
Why were Immortal Venerable grade immortal treasures so weak in might?
One must know that an Immortal Venerable has at least 1000 times the combat power of a True Immortal.
And the Immortal Slaying Saber only has 120 times True Immortal combat power?
The root cause is “Power of the Great Dao”.
There is no Power of the Great Dao within the Immortal Slaying Saber.
It’s equivalent to having no “soul”.
“A true Immortal Venerable Grade Immortal Treasure should be called a Treasure of the Great Dao!”
Ji Qing currently does not possess any Treasures of the Great Dao.
A Treasure of the Great Dao is not made simply by infusing a Great Dao into an Immortal Treasure.
It’s not that simple.
Ji Qing’s Immortal Slaying Saber has sufficient quality.
After all, its quality is already that of an Immortal Venerable Grade Immortal Treasure.
It’s just not a Treasure of the Great Dao.
But Ji Qing possesses the Great Dao Artifact Merging Method.
It can smelt the “Great Dao” from other Immortal Treasures.
The Immortal Slaying Saber is currently nurturing the “Saber Great Dao”.
Ji Qing can sense this very clearly.
However, for the “Saber Great Dao” within the Immortal Slaying Saber to mature to a level comparable to an Immortal Venerable.
It’s difficult!
It’s too difficult!
Even if another hundred Immortal Venerable Grade Immortal Treasures were smelted, it would be useless.
Unless, a Treasure of the Great Dao that contains the “Saber Great Dao” can be directly smelted.
Ji Qing immediately used his Immortal Venerable Authority to check the Xu Mi Immortal Sect’s Treasures of the Great Dao.
As a result, there were none.
Ji Qing understood that Treasures of the Great Dao were likely too precious.
Moreover, ever since Ji Qing achieved the status of Immortal Venerable, he gradually discovered a problem.
For any resources at the Immortal Venerable level, regardless of the type, the Xu Mi Immortal Sect could almost no longer provide them.
In other words, the Xu Mi Immortal Sect could provide fewer and fewer Immortal Venerable level resources to Ji Qing.
Many times, he had to rely on himself.
Ji Qing pondered.
This situation often indicates one thing.
He was already at the core level of the Xu Mi Immortal Sect; the sect could no longer offer much cultivation assistance, and only he could “support” the disciples within the sect.
No wonder Master was keen on accepting disciples.
It was probably not just to “prove” a point, but purely because he had nothing else to do.
Due to the scarcity of cultivation resources, cultivation became slow.
In the long passage of time, if one didn’t do something interesting, life would indeed be devoid of any amusement.
When in doubt, ask Master!
Although Ji Qing was also an Immortal Venerable, his Master was a veteran Immortal Venerable.
Master would likely know more about the issue of Treasures of the Great Dao.
Thus, Ji Qing went to Purple Void Palace.
“Disciple pays respects to Master.”
Ji Qing met Zi Xu Immortal Venerable.
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable smiled slightly, “Ji Qing, why do you have time to visit your Master?”
“Master, this disciple has a matter to inquire about.”
“What matter?”
“It’s about Treasures of the Great Dao…”
Ji Qing recounted the matter of Treasures of the Great Dao in detail.
Within the Xu Mi Immortal Sect, with his Immortal Venerable authority, he couldn’t find any Treasures of the Great Dao at all.
“Master, this disciple is now an Immortal Venerable, yet I don’t even have a Treasure of the Great Dao…”
“Stop.”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable shook her head, “Your Master still doesn’t have a Treasure of the Great Dao. Do you think Treasures of the Great Dao are like common cabbage, that everyone has them? It’s normal not to have a Treasure of the Great Dao… Perhaps most Immortal Venerables don’t have Treasures of the Great Dao.”
Ji Qing was slightly taken aback, “Most Immortal Venerables don’t have Treasures of the Great Dao? Is it that the refining of Treasures of the Great Dao is very difficult?”
“Actually, refining Immortal Venerable Grade Immortal Treasures is not difficult. For example, isn’t your Immortal Slaying Saber an Immortal Venerable Grade Immortal Treasure? But nurturing the Great Dao is very difficult. How long do you think it would take for the Great Dao within your Immortal Slaying Saber to be nurtured?”
Ji Qing fell silent.
Indeed, nurturing the Great Dao was difficult.
If his Immortal Slaying Saber were to nurture it step by step, it was hard to say whether the Saber Great Dao could be nurtured in a hundred thousand, a million, or even hundreds of millions of years.
It was just a rudimentary form for now.
“Master, is there truly no way?”
Ji Qing asked.
He just wanted a Treasure of the Great Dao; was it that difficult?
“There is a way. The overlord of the Eighth Heaven is the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect. Rumor has it that the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect possesses Treasures of the Great Dao, or methods to nurture the Great Dao. Go to the Eighth Heaven and try your luck; perhaps you can find a Treasure of the Great Dao suitable for you.”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
“The Eighth Heaven’s Treasure Refining Immortal Sect? But Master, why don’t you go to the Eighth Heaven?”
“Your Master has been to the Eighth Heaven before, but my luck was not good…”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable did not wish to say more.
Clearly, even going to the Eighth Heaven did not guarantee everyone could obtain a Treasure of the Great Dao; it remained fraught with difficulties.
“Thank you, Master.”
Ji Qing immediately rose and left Purple Void Palace, returning to Golden Toad Palace.
Ji Qing explained the situation to the three women.
He was going to the Eighth Heaven’s Treasure Refining Immortal Sect.
As a result, Ji Yao’s eyes lit up.
“Brother, the Eighth Heaven’s Treasure Refining Immortal Sect, that’s famous throughout the Thirty-three Heavens. Can we go?”
Ji Yao wanted to go to the Eighth Heaven’s Treasure Refining Immortal Sect.
After all, it was a prosperous place.
Famous throughout the Thirty-three Heavens.
Ji Qing looked at Baoyue and Yunmeng Goddess as well.
They also felt a longing.
After all, they had been in the Immortal Realm for a long time, always near the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
They hadn’t seen other places.
Ji Qing thought for a moment and finally agreed.
“Alright, then we’ll go to the Eighth Heaven together!”
The Eighth Heaven was not a dangerous place.
On the contrary, it was extremely prosperous.
Moreover, Ji Qing was now an Immortal Venerable and had sufficient strength to protect the three of them.
Thus, the three of them prepared themselves.
A few days later, Ji Qing, along with the three women, left Golden Toad Palace, traversing space all the way towards the Eighth Heaven!
Soon, Ji Qing arrived at the Eighth Heaven.
As soon as he entered the Eighth Heaven, Ji Qing noticed the difference between the Eighth Heaven and other places.
That was the sheer number of cultivators.
People coming and going, incredibly prosperous.
The Eighth Heaven had only one dominant force, which was the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect.
And the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect could refine all sorts of treasures and had established the Treasure Refining Immortal City specifically for trading.
Almost all cultivators from the Thirty-three Heavens would come to the Eighth Heaven.
Over time, the Eighth Heaven naturally became extremely prosperous.
Especially the Treasure Refining Immortal City, which was one of the most prosperous places in the entire Immortal Realm.
Ji Qing arrived at Treasure Refining Immortal City, a giant city established by the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect for trade among cultivators. Ji Qing looked around, and True Immortals and Immortal Lords were innumerable.
However, Immortal Venerables were still very rare.
At least Ji Qing hadn’t seen a single Immortal Venerable so far.
Ji Qing entered Treasure Refining Immortal City.
He directly rented a Cave Dwelling.
To serve as their temporary lodging.
“Treasure Refining Immortal City is very safe. You can wander around the city.”
Ji Qing said.
“But we’re not even True Immortals…”
Ji Yao said cautiously.
This was indeed a problem.
Even if Treasure Refining Immortal City was safe, if the three of them weren’t even True Immortals, it would indeed be somewhat troublesome.
But this was not a problem for Ji Qing.
With a wave of his hand, he imbued each of the three with three instances of Immortal Venerable Power.
“I have imbued you with three instances of Immortal Venerable Power. If you encounter danger, you can trigger these three instances of Immortal Venerable Power. As long as you are in the Eighth Heaven, I can sense the activation of the Immortal Venerable Power, and I will rush over with all my might.”
Hearing Ji Qing’s words, the three women finally felt at ease.
Thus, Ji Yao and the other two left the Cave Dwelling with peace of mind.
Ji Qing also left the Cave Dwelling.
His purpose for coming to the Eighth Heaven this time was to search for Treasures of the Great Dao.
Treasure Refining Immortal City was very prosperous.
He should be able to find a Treasure of the Great Dao, right?
Ji Qing was unsure.
He found a shop that looked the largest, most luxurious, and had the best business.
It was called “Treasure Refining Pavilion”.
Ji Qing walked in, and a True Immortal immediately stepped forward to greet him.
The True Immortal was a woman, wearing a green-robed Immortal Robe, with a beautiful appearance and a smile on her face. She approached Ji Qing, “Esteemed Senior, what kind of Immortal Treasure are you looking for? Our Treasure Refining Pavilion has everything.”
Ji Qing restrained himself, and the woman couldn’t discern his true strength, only knowing he was unfathomably deep.
Thus, she addressed Ji Qing as “Senior.”
Ji Qing said calmly, “Do you have any Treasures of the Great Dao?”
“Our Treasure Refining Pavilion has all sorts of Immortal Treasures, let alone Treasures of the Great Dao, even…”
The woman seemed to suddenly snap back to reality.
She widened her eyes and looked at Ji Qing.
As if her voice was trembling, “Se-Senior, did you say Treasures of the Great Dao?”
“That’s right, Treasures of the Great Dao! Your Treasure Refining Pavilion is backed by the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect, right? How is it that you don’t have Treasures of the Great Dao?”
Ji Qing’s words put great pressure on the woman.
“Senior, Treasures of the Great Dao can only be used by great beings at or above the Immortal Venerable level. Below Immortal Venerable, even an Immortal Lord cannot use them, Senior…”
Ji Qing released a trace of his aura.
“Boom.”
The entire Treasure Refining Pavilion seemed to fall silent.
All the True Immortals and Immortal Lords felt a tremor from the depths of their souls.
An Immortal Venerable!
That was an Immortal Venerable!
An Immortal Venerable has come to the Treasure Refining Pavilion?
“Whoosh.”
In an instant, an old man quickly arrived.
He was an Immortal Lord.
Upon seeing Ji Qing, he immediately bowed, “Immortal Venerable’s esteemed presence, our Treasure Refining Pavilion has failed to welcome you properly. This old man is the Vice Pavilion Master of the Treasure Refining Pavilion. Whatever Immortal Venerable needs, please state it.”
“Please, Immortal Venerable, enter the VIP room.”
Ji Qing nodded and followed the old man into the VIP room.
Seeing Ji Qing disappear, the people in the Treasure Refining Pavilion finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“What terrifying pressure. I wonder which Immortal Venerable has graced us with their presence?”
“They say Immortal Venerables occasionally visit the Treasure Refining Pavilion, and it turns out to be true. I’ve just seen one.”
“Even Immortal Venerables come to the Treasure Refining Pavilion; this proves the Pavilion’s reputation is well-deserved…”
The crowd, however, began to value the Treasure Refining Pavilion even more.
After all, if Immortal Venerables visited the Treasure Refining Pavilion, didn’t that precisely indicate the preciousness of the treasures within?
Ji Qing followed the old man to the VIP room.
He stated directly, “I have come to the Treasure Refining Pavilion to inquire if there are any Treasures of the Great Dao for sale?”
The elder heard this and was not surprised.
Immortal Lords come to the Treasure Refining Pavilion mostly to inquire about Treasures of the Great Dao.
Thus, the elder smiled and said, “Senior, how rare are Treasures of the Great Dao? Immortal Treasures are easy to obtain, but the Great Dao is hard to seek. It is too difficult to nurture a Great Dao, and even with the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect backing our Treasure Refining Pavilion, Treasures of the Great Dao are not something one can get easily.”
“However, it is also due to your excellent fortune, Senior. Just recently, our Treasure Refining Pavilion happened to acquire a Treasure of the Great Dao. I wonder if it is compatible with your Great Dao?”
Thus, the elder produced a Jade Slip.
Ji Qing immediately waved his hand and examined the contents of the Jade Slip.
The Jade Slip recorded a Treasure of the Great Dao.
It even contained its aura.
Ji Qing merely sensed it slightly before shaking his head: “This Treasure of the Great Dao is not compatible with my Great Dao.”
This Treasure of the Great Dao was the “Saber Great Dao,” or perhaps it was mixed with some other Great Dao.
Nurturing a Great Dao is not always smooth sailing.
Many times, it all comes down to luck.
Everyone knows that the “Five Elements Great Dao” definitely has a wider appeal.
But who can actually nurture the “Five Elements Great Dao”?
It’s not that easy.
Any Great Dao within the Five Elements, even a single one like the Fire Great Dao, might have tempted Ji Qing.
But for the Saber Great Dao, Ji Qing had no way to activate it.
The elder sighed, “Indeed, Treasures of the Great Dao for the Saber Great Dao are not easy to find for compatible Immortal Lords. However, the Treasure Refining Pavilion only has this one Treasure of the Great Dao, so I’m afraid it cannot satisfy your needs, Senior…”
Ji Qing frowned.
Was he going to return empty-handed?
“Treasures of the Great Dao… where can I obtain Treasures of the Great Dao?”
Ji Qing asked.
The elder pondered for a moment before finally speaking cautiously, “Immortal Lord, as they say, Immortal Treasures are easy to obtain, but the Great Dao is hard to seek. The reason Treasures of the Great Dao are precious lies in the Great Dao nurtured within them. As long as an Immortal Treasure can nurture a Great Dao, it can become a Treasure of the Great Dao.”
“I presume you have an Immortal Venerable Grade Immortal Treasure, Immortal Lord?”
Ji Qing nodded.
Of course he did; the Immortal Slaying Saber was an Immortal Venerable Grade Immortal Treasure.
“If you have an Immortal Venerable Grade Immortal Treasure, then you need to let the Great Dao within the Immortal Treasure transform and take shape. Immortal Lords can try their luck in the Abyss of the Great Dao. In the Abyss of the Great Dao, it seems to accelerate the nurturing of Great Daos. Some Immortal Lords are attempting to nurture Treasures of the Great Dao in the Abyss of the Great Dao.”
“Even when our Treasure Refining Immortal Sect refines Treasures of the Great Dao, we go to the Abyss of the Great Dao. However, to enter the Abyss of the Great Dao, one needs to pay a considerable amount of Immortal Crystals…”
Ji Qing understood.
The Treasure Refining Immortal Sect controlled the Eighth Heaven, and thus naturally controlled the Abyss of the Great Dao.
As for why they opened the Abyss of the Great Dao to others instead of using it exclusively for the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect.
It was likely not that the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect didn’t want to, but couldn’t.
So many Immortal Lords had a demand for Treasures of the Great Dao.
If the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect forcibly monopolized the Abyss of the Great Dao and didn’t let other Immortal Lords use it, what would happen?
The Treasure Refining Immortal Sect would likely become an enemy to the other thirty-two Heavens!
The Treasure Refining Immortal Sect couldn’t withstand such pressure, so they simply opened it up.
Ji Qing’s heart stirred.
Knowing about the Abyss of the Great Dao, it was probably not that easy to nurture Treasures of the Great Dao.
Otherwise, would the Treasure Refining Pavilion only have one Treasure of the Great Dao?
Would Immortal Lords still be so short of Treasures of the Great Dao?
But no matter what, this was ultimately a glimmer of hope.
Thus, Ji Qing headed directly for the Abyss of the Great Dao.
The Abyss of the Great Dao was far from the Treasure Refining Immortal City.
However, Ji Qing traversed the Void and arrived almost in the blink of an eye.
Outside the Abyss of the Great Dao, a Great Formation was enveloped.
Many cultivators were queuing up to pay Immortal Crystals to enter the Abyss of the Great Dao.
Ji Qing was too lazy to queue.
He directly unleashed his aura as an Immortal Lord.
Immediately, an Immortal Lord from the Abyss of the Great Dao quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed, “Greetings, Immortal Lord.”
“I wish to enter the Abyss of the Great Dao, how many Immortal Crystals are required?”
“Senior, one hundred Immortal Crystals will suffice.”
“So cheap?”
Ji Qing was somewhat surprised.
A mere hundred Immortal Crystals were not an issue even for a Void Immortal.
“Uh… one hundred Immortal Crystals per day.”
Ji Qing frowned.
One hundred immortal crystals a day, that’s not a small amount at all.
Starting from the day of entry.
One could only exit from the entrance.
Other areas were enveloped by the Great Formation, unless one broke through the Great Formation.
But breaking through the Great Formation would mean becoming an enemy of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect.
That would cause considerable trouble.
“Alright, I want to go in.”
“Immortal Lord, this way please.”
Ji Qing naturally didn’t need to queue.
He was led by an Immortal Lord of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect directly into the Abyss of the Great Dao.
That Immortal Lord also gave Ji Qing a Jade Slip.
The Jade Slip contained methods for “nurturing” the Great Dao within Immortal Treasures inside the Abyss of the Great Dao.
It was quite thorough.
According to the contents of the Jade Slip, the method for nurturing the Great Dao within an Immortal Treasure was actually very simple.
It was to find a place, put the Immortal Treasure there, and that was it.
Whether it could be nurtured and how long it would take depended entirely on luck.
Moreover, cultivators could not leave.
Once a cultivator left, if the Immortal Treasure was lost or encountered any problems, the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect would not be responsible.
“If I stay in the Abyss of the Great Dao for a hundred years, won’t that be over three million Immortal Crystals?”
Ji Qing thought of a problem.
This Treasure Refining Immortal Sect was truly good at making money.
By relying on the Abyss of the Great Dao, they could continuously earn Immortal Crystals.
But this was also a unique advantage of the Eighth Heaven; having nurtured the Abyss of the Great Dao, what else could be done?
The Treasure Refining Immortal Sect was not to be trifled with.
Being able to dominate the Eighth Heaven was proof of their strength.
Even an Immortal Lord would have to weigh their options carefully before trying to cause trouble.
Ji Qing was certain that there must be Immortal Lords from the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect stationed in the Abyss of the Great Dao, perhaps more than one.
Ji Qing delved deep into the Abyss of the Great Dao.
According to the Jade Slip, the environment within the Abyss of the Great Dao was constantly changing.
Some places had very high efficiency in nurturing Great Daos.
But some places had very low efficiency.
It was all based on luck.
Ji Qing arrived in the depths of the Abyss of the Great Dao, with no other cultivators around.
Ji Qing took out the Immortal Slaying Saber.
Ji Qing carefully observed the situation within the Immortal Slaying Saber.
As a result, Ji Qing actually made some discoveries.
The Great Dao within the Immortal Slaying Saber was the Saber Great Dao.
But currently, it was only a nascent form.
From a nascent form to a fully developed Saber Great Dao was like an insurmountable chasm, and it might not even be achieved in billions of years.
But now, by utilizing the environment within the Abyss of the Great Dao, Ji Qing could genuinely feel that the Saber Great Dao within the Immortal Slaying Saber was improving bit by bit.
It was just that the speed of improvement was too slow.
At this rate, it might take thousands or tens of thousands of years to nurture the Saber Great Dao.
But it was only a possibility.
No one could be certain.
Ji Qing could not be certain either.
He could only feel that the Saber Great Dao within the Immortal Slaying Saber was improving.
“The environment within the Abyss of the Great Dao is indeed special. For the Immortal Slaying Saber to nurture the Saber Great Dao, I can only place my hopes in the Abyss of the Great Dao… Unfortunately, to truly stay in the Abyss of the Great Dao for thousands or tens of thousands of years?”
Ji Qing frowned.
If the Saber Great Dao could truly be nurtured, then so be it.
He was afraid that after staying for such a long time, he still wouldn’t be able to nurture the Saber Great Dao, and it would all be in vain.
He needed to find a way.
To shorten the time.
“Wait, shorten the time…”
Ji Qing seemed to have thought of something.
He immediately took out the Years Gourd.
Inside the Years Gourd, the time flow was 10:1. Ten days inside were equivalent to only one day outside.
However, inside the Years Gourd, the environment of the Abyss of the Great Dao was lost.
Could the Saber Great Dao still be nurtured?
Ji Qing thought for a moment, and he made the Years Gourd continuously grow larger.
It enveloped an area of a hundred miles around the Abyss of the Great Dao.
Ji Qing, carrying the Immortal Slaying Saber, jumped into the Years Gourd.
He did not seal the Years Gourd.
The Abyss of the Great Dao and the inside of the Years Gourd were connected.
Ji Qing observed the situation of the Immortal Slaying Saber for a while.
“It works! There’s no difference from being inside the Abyss of the Great Dao.”
Ji Qing rejoiced in his heart.
It was done!
Ten years in the Years Gourd were only one year in the Abyss of the Great Dao.
It was totally worth it!
It saved a lot of time.
Ji Qing immediately sent a Communication Talisman to Ji Yao and the others, informing them that he needed to stay in the Abyss of the Great Dao for a longer period to see if the Immortal Slaying Saber could nurture the Saber Great Dao.
Thus, Ji Qing began to nurture the Immortal Slaying Saber in peace within the Years Gourd.
Ten years, thirty years, fifty years, eighty years, one hundred years…
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed.
In the Abyss of the Great Dao, it was not uncommon for Immortals to nurture for a hundred years.
There were even many who nurtured Immortal Treasures for a thousand years in the Abyss of the Great Dao.
At this moment, inside the Years Gourd, Ji Qing’s eyes grew brighter.
A hundred years in the outside world had passed as a thousand years within the Years Gourd.
The Saber Great Dao nurtured within his Immortal Slaying Saber was indeed growing vigorously.
However, a thousand years was still too short.
He had to continue.
Ji Qing refused to believe that he couldn’t nurture the Immortal Slaying Saber into a Treasure of the Great Dao.
Thus, he continued to nurture.
Two hundred years, three hundred years, four hundred years, five hundred years, six hundred years…
In the blink of an eye, eight hundred years had passed.
On this day, the Saber Great Dao nurtured within Ji Qing’s Immortal Slaying Saber reached its peak.
Then, the Saber Great Dao began its transformation.
From a nascent form, it transformed into the Saber Great Dao!
“Buzz.”
The Immortal Slaying Saber emitted a terrifying sharpness.
Transforming within the Abyss of the Great Dao seemed to be able to draw upon some power from the Abyss of the Great Dao.
Ji Qing had long since refined the Immortal Slaying Saber.
Therefore, Ji Qing could sense any change within the Immortal Slaying Saber.
Ji Qing directly put away the Years Gourd.
He faintly sensed that the Immortal Slaying Saber needed more strange power from the Abyss of the Great Dao.
Within the Years Gourd, that kind of power seemed to be blocked.
Ji Qing simply let the Immortal Slaying Saber undergo transformation in the Abyss of the Great Dao.
“Rumble.”
As expected, the Immortal Slaying Saber began a violent transformation in the Abyss of the Great Dao, causing a great commotion that nearly alerted all the cultivators within the Abyss of the Great Dao.
“What’s going on? Why is there such a huge commotion in the Abyss of the Great Dao?”
“What a sharp aura, what a terrifying aura, could it be that an Immortal Treasure is transforming into a Treasure of the Great Dao?”
“A Treasure of the Great Dao has really been born?”
Not only within the Abyss of the Great Dao, but even outside the Abyss of the Great Dao, the change could be felt.
The Treasure Refining Immortal Sect also quickly dispatched some cultivators to investigate.
In fact, the Immortal Venerable of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect had already been alerted.
They had already seen Ji Qing’s Immortal Slaying Saber undergoing transformation.
“So it’s the Immortal Treasure of that Immortal Venerable from eight hundred years ago that is transforming. What incredible luck! In just eight hundred years, the Immortal Treasure has actually transformed into a Treasure of the Great Dao?”
“Last time, it seemed to be an Immortal Venerable who took one thousand three hundred years to transform their Immortal Treasure.”
“Whether an Immortal Treasure can transform into a Treasure of the Great Dao within the Abyss of the Great Dao truly depends on Fortune.”
Many Immortal Venerables sighed.
In fact, within the Abyss of the Great Dao, many True Immortals and Immortal Lords were nurturing Treasures of the Great Dao.
They couldn’t use Treasures of the Great Dao, and coming to the Abyss of the Great Dao to nurture them was also a gamble.
If the nurturing was successful, they could sell it.
The cultivation resources obtained would be enough for them to live without worry for the rest of their lives.
Of course, this possibility was extremely slim.
Most of them could only be nurtured successfully by Immortal Venerables.
As time passed, the sharpness of Ji Qing’s Immortal Slaying Saber grew increasingly potent.
“Boom.”
Finally, the Saber Great Dao within the Immortal Slaying Saber was completely nurtured and formed.
At this moment, the Immortal Slaying Saber successfully transformed into a Treasure of the Great Dao!
“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, for achieving your wish and nurturing a Treasure of the Great Dao!”
It was an Immortal Venerable offering congratulations.
More Immortal Venerables offered congratulations one after another.
It wasn’t easy to nurture a Treasure of the Great Dao within the Abyss of the Great Dao.
The probability was very small.
Many Immortal Venerables regarded Ji Qing as one of the truly “lucky” people.
But was Ji Qing truly lucky?
In eight hundred years, it was eight thousand years for him within the Years Gourd!
In eight thousand years, Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body had improved by another 8%, reaching 16%.
Ji Qing grasped the Immortal Slaying Saber.
The Saber Great Dao had been nurtured within the Immortal Slaying Saber. The moment Ji Qing held the hilt, he felt a sense of kinship, as if their bloodlines were connected.
Moreover, when wielding the Immortal Slaying Saber, Ji Qing felt incredibly at ease.
After all, the Saber Great Dao was one of the Great Daos that matched the Great Dao within Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body.
Activating the Immortal Slaying Saber presented no obstacles for Ji Qing at all.
The key was the Might of the Immortal Slaying Saber at this moment.
Ji Qing sensed it slightly, and his eyes immediately lit up.
“Approximately 1000 times True Immortal Combat Power!”
This was the Might of the Immortal Slaying Saber at present.
It had directly increased from the previous 120 times True Immortal Combat Power to 1000 times True Immortal Combat Power.
This was the Might of a Treasure of the Great Dao!
No wonder so many Immortal Venerables dreamed of owning a Treasure of the Great Dao.
The Improvement in Strength was simply too great.
This easily pushed Ji Qing’s Strength to over 6000 times True Immortal Combat Power!
Treasures of the Great Dao were also divided into Immortal Venerable Level, Immortal King Level, and so on.
Ji Qing’s Immortal Slaying Saber, with its current 1000 times True Immortal Combat Power, was merely the most common Immortal Venerable Level Treasure of the Great Dao.
However, this was not Ji Qing’s limit.
Ji Qing possessed three Great Daos: the Space Great Dao, the Five Elements Great Dao, and the Saber Great Dao.
Theoretically, Ji Qing could activate a Treasure of the Great Dao that integrated these three Great Daos.
In other words, theoretically, Ji Qing’s Immortal Slaying Saber could still nurture the Space Great Dao and the Five Elements Great Dao.
Each Great Dao would add 1000 times True Immortal Combat Power.
Once the remaining two Great Daos were nurtured, wouldn’t the Immortal Slaying Saber reach 3000 times True Immortal Combat Power?
The thought alone was incredible.
Although it was only theoretical, after Ji Qing considered it, it was not impossible in reality.
As long as the Immortal Slaying Saber contained the Nascent Forms of the Space Great Dao and the Five Elements Great Dao.
At that time, it could also be nurtured in the Abyss of the Great Dao.
Of course, the prerequisite was the birth of the Nascent Form of the Great Dao.
As for how to give birth to the Nascent Form of the Great Dao, Ji Qing already had a plan in mind.
But he had to return to the Treasure Refining Immortal City first.
Thus, Ji Qing immediately left the Abyss of the Great Dao.
It was just that Ji Qing paid 29.2 million Immortal Crystals.
Nearly thirty million Immortal Crystals made Ji Qing feel a bit pained.
However, compared to a Treasure of the Great Dao, this amount of Immortal Crystals was insignificant.
After all, no matter how many Immortal Crystals he had, he couldn’t buy the Treasure of the Great Dao that Ji Qing needed.
Ji Qing returned from the Abyss of the Great Dao to the Treasure Refining Immortal City and met Ji Yao and the other two.
“Brother, you’re finally back. It’s been eight hundred years, where did you go?”
Ji Yao and the other two had been in the Treasure Refining Immortal City for eight hundred years and had lost all interest.
“I went to the Abyss of the Great Dao and nurtured a Treasure of the Great Dao.”
Ji Qing took out the Immortal Slaying Saber.
The three women immediately felt a terrifying Pressure.
They weren’t even True Immortals, and they couldn’t withstand the Pressure of the Immortal Slaying Saber.
Ji Qing put away the Immortal Slaying Saber.
Baoyue said in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist Ji, we want to return to the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.”
“Okay, let’s go back then!”
Ji Qing also wanted to return to the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
His Immortal Slaying Saber still needed to nurture two Nascent Forms of the Great Dao.
Moreover, the Abyss of the Great Dao was indeed a good place.
Ji Qing had the Years Gourd, so nurturing a Treasure of the Great Dao was no longer a problem.
And Zi Xu Immortal Venerable also did not have a Treasure of the Great Dao.
When Ji Qing returned this time, he also had to nurture a Treasure of the Great Dao for his Master.
Thus, Ji Qing directly took the three women all the way back to the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
After Ji Qing returned to the Xu Mi Immortal Sect, he went to Purple Void Palace first.
“Disciple greets Master.”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable looked at Ji Qing: “You’re back so soon?”
Eight hundred years was indeed not long for an Immortal Venerable.
The last time Zi Xu Immortal Venerable went to the Treasure Refining Immortal City, she stayed for thousands of years.
Of course, even though she stayed for a long time, she did not nurture a Treasure of the Great Dao.
“Master, this disciple’s trip to the Treasure Refining Immortal City yielded great results…”
Ji Qing immediately took out the Immortal Slaying Saber.
As soon as the Immortal Slaying Saber appeared, it immediately emitted a terrifying Pressure.
The sharp edge made Zi Xu Immortal Venerable’s eyes brighten involuntarily.
“Treasure of the Great Dao? Ji Qing, you actually nurtured a Treasure of the Great Dao?”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable was very surprised.
“Yes, Master, this disciple nurtured the Treasure of the Great Dao in the Abyss of the Great Dao.”
“Nurtured a Treasure of the Great Dao in the Abyss of the Great Dao in eight hundred years? How is that possible?”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable was also very shocked.
She had been to the Abyss of the Great Dao before.
Nurturing a Treasure of the Great Dao in just eight hundred years was akin to dreaming while awake.
Unless… Ji Qing had mastered some method to nurture a Treasure of the Great Dao.
But was that possible?
“Master, if you want a Treasure of the Great Dao, this disciple can do it for you. Nurturing a Treasure of the Great Dao for Master is not difficult!”
As soon as Ji Qing finished speaking, Zi Xu Immortal Venerable’s eyes widened, and a Stormy Seas raged within her heart.
