Chapter 292: Nurturing Treasure Of The Great Dao Stirs Up A Storm, Ji Qing Defeats Five Immortal Venerables In A Row, Shaking Treasure Refining Immortal Sect!
“What did you say, Treasure of the Great Dao? You can nurture a Treasure of the Great Dao?”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable’s eyes widened.
She had seen her fair share of storms and was very knowledgeable.
However, Ji Qing said he could nurture a Treasure of the Great Dao?
He claimed he could nurture a Treasure of the Great Dao for her, which she simply didn’t believe.
Even if Ji Qing produced the Immortal Slaying Saber.
It could still be luck.
There were Immortal Venerables who nurtured Treasures of the Great Dao within the Abyss of the Great Dao, and even Immortal Lords and True Immortals who nurtured Treasures of the Great Dao.
But who could guarantee they could nurture a second one?
“Master, your disciple has his own methods. Master, why not try it?”
Ji Qing did not explain in detail.
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable fell silent.
After a long while, she asked, “When will you depart?”
“It’s hard to say. Your disciple still needs to make some preparations.”
“Then, are there any requirements for nurturing a Treasure of the Great Dao?”
“It must be an Immortal Venerable Grade Immortal Treasure, and the Immortal Treasure must have already nurtured a Nascent Form of the Great Dao. These two conditions are sufficient.”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable nodded and said, “Alright, when you depart, I will give you the Immortal Treasure.”
Afterward, Ji Qing took his leave and departed.
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable still felt somewhat dazed.
“Nurture a Treasure of the Great Dao? This matter cannot be spread, otherwise…”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable instinctively felt that Ji Qing would be in great trouble.
But upon careful thought, she smiled.
Ji Qing was already an Immortal Venerable.
And with the Xu Mi Immortal Sect backing him, what was there to fear?
She was actually looking forward to it.
For so many years, her Immortal Treasure had not managed to transform into a Treasure of the Great Dao.
Once she had a Treasure of the Great Dao, her Strength would also greatly improve.
However, everything would have to wait until Ji Qing was ready.
Ji Qing returned to the Golden Toad Palace.
The preparations he needed to make were actually very simple.
That was to “melt” some other Immortal Treasures of Immortal Lord or True Immortal level, so that the Immortal Slaying Saber could nurture the nascent forms of the “Five Elements Great Dao” and “Space Great Dao.”
Only after nurturing these two nascent forms of the Great Dao could Ji Qing go to the Abyss of the Great Dao and allow these two Great Daos to mature, thereby increasing the Might of the Immortal Slaying Saber to over 3000 times that of a True Immortal’s combat power.
The reason he returned to the Xu Mi Immortal Sect was naturally because Ji Qing had Immortal Venerable Authority.
If he didn’t use so many Xu Mi Immortal Sect contribution points and authority, wouldn’t it be a waste?
Moreover, he did not need Saber Type Immortal Treasures this time.
In the past, he needed Saber Type Immortal Treasures because he needed the Immortal Slaying Saber to nurture the “Saber Great Dao.”
But now, Ji Qing needed the Immortal Slaying Saber to nurture the “Space Great Dao” and the “Five Elements Great Dao.” These two Great Daos were not uncommon in other Immortal Treasures.
Ji Qing only needed to melt them.
Thus, Ji Qing immediately used his authority and exchanged for twenty spatial type Immortal Treasures and Five Elements Great Dao type Immortal Treasures in one go.
Ten of each were exchanged.
He would first see if these many Immortal Treasures could give birth to nascent forms of the Great Dao after being melted.
If not, he would continue to exchange.
If there were not enough Immortal Treasures, he would continue to find a way.
Soon, the Immortal Treasures Ji Qing exchanged for arrived.
The Immortal Treasures were divided into two major categories: Space and Five Elements.
And there were all sorts of Immortal Treasures.
Defensive, auxiliary, offensive, etc., everything was available.
Ji Qing immediately used the Great Dao Artifact Merging Method and began to melt the “Great Daos” within these Immortal Treasures.
Ji Qing first chose the “Space Great Dao” type Immortal Treasures.
One, two, three, four, five…
As one Immortal Treasure after another was melted by Ji Qing, within his Immortal Slaying Saber, the second “Great Dao” began to slowly form its nascent shape.
However, it was not enough.
Thus, Ji Qing continued to devour.
Sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth…
Finally, after devouring the ninth Immortal Treasure, Ji Qing could clearly feel that the second “Great Dao” had been born within the Immortal Slaying Saber.
And it was incredibly familiar.
That was the Space Great Dao!
“It’s finally done… Although it’s only a nascent form, it is indeed the Space Great Dao. With long-term nurturing, it might completely mature!”
A smile appeared on Ji Qing’s face.
However, there were differences between nascent forms.
Ji Qing naturally wanted the nascent form of the Space Great Dao to be stronger.
Thus, Ji Qing continued to devour the tenth Immortal Treasure.
If it wasn’t enough, he would continue to devour.
Ji Qing continued to exchange for Immortal Treasures.
Twenty, thirty…
Finally, after Ji Qing devoured thirty-three Immortal Treasures, the “Nascent Form of the Space Great Dao” within the Immortal Slaying Saber could not advance any further.
No matter how much he devoured, it could not transform.
It had to be nurtured in the Abyss of the Great Dao.
Next was the Five Elements Great Dao.
Ji Qing followed suit, continuously devouring Five Elements type Immortal Treasures. He devoured thirteen Immortal Treasures before the third Great Dao was born within the Immortal Slaying Saber.
Then he continued to exchange for Immortal Treasures, allowing the Immortal Slaying Saber to devour them.
He devoured thirty-seven Immortal Treasures before the Five Elements Great Dao could advance no further.
Ji Qing made a rough calculation.
This time, he had devoured a total of seventy Immortal Treasures.
For each of these seventy Immortal Treasures, Ji Qing had spent about a year to melt them.
In other words, Ji Qing had been in seclusion for a full seventy years.
“It’s finally done!”
Ji Qing held the Immortal Slaying Saber, feeling that it was becoming more and more compatible with him.
After all, Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body was now condensed from the power of three Great Daos.
Therefore, it wouldn’t suffice for the Immortal Slaying Saber to only have the Saber Great Dao.
It needed three Great Daos for Ji Qing to wield it with ease and unleash its greatest Might.
Ji Qing emerged from seclusion and gave instructions to Ji Yao, Baoyue, and the others.
Yunmeng Goddess was now a Fourth Order Chaos Demon God, possessing Strength far greater than an ordinary True Immortal.
However, being a Chaos Demon God, her aura was similar to that of the Divine Race.
The Immortal Realm was ruled by Immortals.
If her identity as a Chaos Demon God were exposed, it would still cause some trouble.
Therefore, Ji Qing hoped that Baoyue could break through to become a True Immortal as soon as possible.
This way, she would encounter fewer troubles even when traveling to other parts of the Immortal Realm.
Baoyue understood Ji Qing’s intentions.
Therefore, she had been cultivating diligently all these years.
Ji Qing arrived at the Purple Void Palace.
“Master, your disciple is preparing to head to the Eighth Heaven. Has your Immortal Treasure been prepared?”
Ji Qing asked.
“It has long been prepared.”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable waved her hand, and an Immortal Treasure fell into Ji Qing’s hand.
Ji Qing looked closely.
Why did it look somewhat like a hairpin?
His Master’s Immortal Treasures were indeed somewhat unique, but Ji Qing sensed the “Great Dao” within this Immortal Treasure, just like the Great Dao within his Immortal Slaying Saber, it was a nascent form and could not advance further.
After nurturing it for so many years, Zi Xu Immortal Venerable’s Immortal Treasure had not transformed into a Treasure of the Great Dao.
“Ji Qing, you must be careful when you go to the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect.”
“Your disciple understands.”
Thus, Ji Qing immediately left the Purple Void Palace, traveled all the way to the Eighth Heaven, and then rushed to the Abyss of the Great Dao.
Ji Qing was already familiar with the process.
He soon entered the Abyss of the Great Dao.
Re-entering the Abyss of the Great Dao, Ji Qing began to search for a suitable location.
First, it needed to be relatively spacious.
So that the Years Gourd could be deployed.
Afterward, Ji Qing deployed the Years Gourd.
This time, the range he covered was not as large.
Ji Qing estimated that about ten thousand miles would suffice.
Covering an area of ten thousand miles was probably enough.
Ji Qing directly jumped into the Years Gourd, then took out the Immortal Slaying Saber and his Master’s Immortal Treasure, and began to nurture them.
Time passed day by day.
Inside the Years Gourd, the Immortal Slaying Saber and his Master’s hairpin Immortal Treasure were also slowly being nurtured.
Ji Qing was not idle either.
He was also cultivating his Great Dao Body.
After all, cultivating inside the Years Gourd meant ten times the time!
One hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years…
As time went by, quite a few people discovered the Years Gourd.
But as soon as they approached, Ji Qing drove them away.
Ji Qing casually exuded a trace of Immortal Venerable aura, who would dare to approach?
Therefore, this area of ten thousand miles had practically become a restricted area.
No one dared to approach.
Everyone knew that an Immortal Venerable was meditating here.
In the blink of an eye, six hundred years had passed.
“Rumble.”
Ji Qing did not expect that the first to mature would be his Master’s hairpin Immortal Treasure.
It had now transformed from a nascent form into a true Great Dao!
The hairpin flew out of the Years Gourd.
This commotion was not small.
In the Abyss of the Great Dao, many cultivators witnessed this scene.
“Treasure of the Great Dao? This Immortal Venerable actually nurtured a Treasure of the Great Dao?”
“How can we fathom the methods of an Immortal Venerable?”
“It is said that over a thousand years ago, an Immortal Venerable also nurtured a Treasure of the Great Dao in the Abyss of the Great Dao. Could it be…”
Some Immortal Lords and True Immortals were also very astute.
They immediately sensed something unusual.
More than a thousand years ago, an Immortal Venerable entered the Abyss of the Great Dao and nurtured a Treasure of the Great Dao using its power.
Now, it was another Immortal Venerable.
Could it be the same person?
However, even with this speculation, they did not dare to question an Immortal Venerable.
After all, this was an Immortal Venerable!
If it were a True Immortal, many people would have already gone to investigate.
But an Immortal Venerable…
Not many people dared to investigate.
Time continued to flow.
Seven hundred years, eight hundred years, nine hundred years, one thousand years…
Ji Qing had not expected that it would take a full thousand years for his Immortal Slaying Saber to nurture the Space Great Dao and the Five Elements Great Dao.
During this thousand years, Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body had increased by 10%, as it was ten thousand years in the Years Gourd.
Finally, the Great Dao within the Immortal Slaying Saber had matured.
“Rumble.”
This time the movement was very large.
It shook the entire Abyss of the Great Dao.
Ji Qing did not expect the movement to be so great.
Previously, when he nurtured two Treasures of the Great Dao, the movement was not this significant.
Perhaps this time it was due to the two Great Daos within the Immortal Slaying Saber maturing, which caused such a large commotion.
Ji Qing immediately put away the Years Gourd.
A powerful aura of an Immortal Venerable emanated from his body.
Informing everyone nearby not to approach!
However, this tremor in the Abyss of the Great Dao alarmed many cultivators, including Immortal Venerables.
Even the Immortal Venerables of the Abyss of the Great Dao were alerted.
“Is it this Immortal Venerable again? Did he nurture another Treasure of the Great Dao? But how is that possible? Hundreds of years ago, he already nurtured one Treasure of the Great Dao, and now he has nurtured a second one?”
“Does this Immortal Venerable possess some unique method to nurture Treasures of the Great Dao in such a short time?”
“Impossible, after all these years, who in the Immortal Realm could have a unique method to nurture Treasures of the Great Dao? That’s absolutely impossible!”
“If it’s impossible, then what is this?”
Many people fell silent.
The facts were before their eyes.
Hundreds of years ago, Ji Qing had already nurtured one Treasure of the Great Dao.
This was the second one!
Moreover, this second one appeared to be so extraordinary.
Although more and more people gathered in the Abyss of the Great Dao, Ji Qing showed no fear.
Instead, he quietly waited for the Great Daos within the Immortal Slaying Saber to fully mature.
He is an Immortal Venerable!
Even if others had some guesses or covetous thoughts, what could they do?
Even if they were also Immortal Venerables.
Would they dare to act rashly?
No!
This is the prestige of an “Immortal Venerable”!
“Buzz.”
Finally, the Immortal Slaying Saber let out a soft hum.
Ji Qing extended his hand and gently grasped the Immortal Slaying Saber.
Ji Qing smiled.
The moment he held the Immortal Slaying Saber, he felt as if he and the saber were connected by bloodline.
He felt closer to it than ever before.
Space Great Dao, Five Elements Great Dao!
These two Great Daos, along with the Saber Great Dao.
Were perfectly compatible with Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body.
With the saber in hand, it almost formed a single entity with Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body.
Now with Ji Qing’s 26% Great Dao Body, plus 3000 times True Immortal combat power, even with 50% of the Heavenly Mandate Saber, Ji Qing’s strength far exceeded 8000 times True Immortal combat power.
What terrifying combat power was this?
If he were to unleash the third form of the Void Shaking Saber, it would exceed 10,000 times True Immortal combat power!
For an ordinary Immortal Venerable, Ji Qing could slay them with one saber!
With the hilt of the Immortal Slaying Saber in hand, what did Ji Qing have to fear?
As Ji Qing’s gaze swept across the surroundings.
Instantly, countless cultivators lowered their heads.
Daring not to meet Ji Qing’s gaze.
Even those Immortal Venerables felt a jolt in their hearts, sensing a sharp edge.
“If there’s nothing else, then Ji Mou will…”
However, before he could finish speaking.
“Swish, swish, swish.”
In the Abyss of the Great Dao, figures appeared one after another, blocking Ji Qing from a distance.
Although there was a certain distance.
Their attitude of blocking his path was far from friendly.
“Fellow Daoist, please don’t misunderstand, we are Immortal Venerables from the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect. I am Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable. Congratulations on successfully nurturing a Treasure of the Great Dao. You have entered the Abyss of the Great Dao twice and nurtured three Treasures of the Great Dao, which is truly rare and commendable. Our Treasure Refining Immortal Sect is very curious about your method of nurturing Treasures of the Great Dao. If you can share one or two, please name your conditions, and our Treasure Refining Immortal Sect will surely satisfy them!”
As Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable spoke, many cultivators were startled.
Entered the Abyss of the Great Dao twice?
Nurtured three Treasures of the Great Dao?
This efficiency was too high.
No one would believe that there wasn’t a special method for nurturing Treasures of the Great Dao.
Ji Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew that his identity could no longer be hidden.
If he could hide it from others, how could he hide it from the people of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect?
His two entries into the Abyss of the Great Dao were extremely secret matters.
But the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect must know, after all, his entry into the Abyss of the Great Dao required registration, and there were not many Immortal Venerables who could enter. A simple check would reveal it.
But was the method Ji Qing used to nurture Treasures of the Great Dao something he could easily give away?
If he gave it away, could the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect replicate it?
Difficult!
Firstly, the Years Gourd was a challenge.
Time treasures were already Supreme Treasures.
Even hegemonic powers did not possess them.
Ji Qing obtained it by chance in the Chaos Space.
That item alone.
Ji Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at the five Immortal Venerables opposite him.
He said coldly, “Your sect would find no use for my method. What, your sect is envious because I nurtured Treasures of the Great Dao in the Abyss of the Great Dao, and now you intend to obtain it by force, or even compel me to reveal my method for nurturing Treasures of the Great Dao?”
Ji Qing’s words caused Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable’s expression to change.
Some surrounding cultivators also began to discuss amongst themselves.
However, some sharp-witted cultivators immediately moved away from Ji Qing and the others, heading directly to the entrance of the Abyss of the Great Dao.
They would flee the Abyss of the Great Dao as soon as any disturbance occurred.
They had already sensed the danger.
If an Immortal Venerable battle were to erupt, even a slight graze would be unbearable for Immortal Lords and True Immortals.
They wouldn’t even have the qualifications to watch an Immortal Venerable Battle.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
Everyone watched Ji Qing and the five Immortal Venerables of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect intently.
Ji Qing gripped the Immortal Slaying Saber tighter.
Five Immortal Venerables were nothing; if a fight broke out, Ji Qing would not be afraid at all.
As for the consequences.
No matter how strong the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect was, could they possibly destroy the Xu Mi Immortal Sect?
Impossible!
Although the Xu Mi Immortal Sect did not dominate the First Heaven, it was still a hegemonic power.
The Treasure Refining Immortal Sect was only slightly stronger than the Xu Mi Immortal Sect overall. To deal with the Xu Mi Immortal Sect would require the confrontation of Immortal Kings, or even Immortal Emperors.
Can Immortal Venerables influence the decisions of Immortal Emperors?
In all these years, Ji Qing had never seen a great war between hegemonic powers in the Immortal Realm.
It was impossible for a war between two hegemonic powers to erupt merely over Treasures of the Great Dao.
Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable’s expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.
He was likely discussing with the other four Immortal Venerables.
Treasures of the Great Dao.
These were treasures that countless Immortal Venerables dreamed of.
The five Immortal Venerables could not help but be tempted.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, we merely wish to know the method of nurturing Treasures of the Great Dao. We have no disrespect towards you, there is no need for such caution.”
Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable sighed and said.
“Is that so? Five Immortal Venerables are blocking my path, and you tell me not to be cautious?”
Ji Qing sneered.
“Then let’s try a different approach. We hope you can nurture a Treasure of the Great Dao for us. We will offer you satisfactory compensation, how about it?”
Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable changed his tactic.
However, Ji Qing was unmoved.
Nurturing a Treasure of the Great Dao for them?
If he truly did that, it would be a disaster without end.
It would mean that Ji Qing truly mastered the method of nurturing Treasures of the Great Dao.
At that time, all the Immortal Venerables from the Thirty-three Heavens would swarm over, demanding Ji Qing nurture Treasures of the Great Dao. Would Ji Qing agree or refuse?
If he agreed, did he have that much time to nurture Treasures of the Great Dao?
If he refused, wouldn’t he offend all the Immortal Venerables of the Thirty-three Heavens?
Faced with overwhelming popular sentiment, the Xu Mi Immortal Sect might not even be able to protect Ji Qing.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, then let us spar a little. If we can defeat you, we hope you will help us nurture a Treasure of the Great Dao, how about it?”
Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable spoke, proposing a compromise.
They simply wanted Treasures of the Great Dao.
“And if you lose?”
“If we lose, Fellow Daoist Ji can naturally leave the Abyss of the Great Dao at any time.”
Ji Qing nodded and said, “Alright, Ji Mou agrees!”
It was just a spar, and a one-on-one at that.
Ji Qing had nothing to worry about then.
Otherwise, if he were to truly fight the five Immortal Venerables today, or even kill them, it might alarm the Immortal Kings of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect.
Ji Qing did not want to make an enemy of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect unless absolutely necessary.
“Who will go first?”
Ji Qing asked.
“I will go first.”
Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable immediately replied.
The opponent fighting Ji Qing first was at a slight disadvantage.
After all, the first one was there to gauge Ji Qing’s true strength.
Thus, both sides took their positions.
Surrounding cultivators quickly retreated.
This was not the first time Ji Qing had fought an Immortal Venerable.
However, he was now full of confidence.
The Immortal Slaying Saber, with the enhancement of three Great Daos and 3000 times True Immortal combat power.
The Immortal Slaying Saber alone was not something ordinary Immortal Venerables could compare to.
If one were to add Ji Qing’s Saber Technique…
“Boom.”
Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable made the first move.
The opponent seemed to be using some sort of Flames Great Dao.
As soon as he attacked, flames filled the sky.
The flames blotted out the sun and formed a sea of fire.
Anyone within this sea of fire, even an Immortal Venerable, would be suppressed.
But Ji Qing was different.
Within the sea of fire, the five-colored light of Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body constantly flowed.
That was the Five Elements Great Dao!
The five elemental Great Daos were in a state of perpetual regeneration, and flames were also part of the Five Elements.
Therefore, they posed no threat whatsoever to Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body.
“Clang.”
The next moment, Ji Qing drew his saber.
The second form of the Void Shaking Saber, Moon Shadow Hidden Blade!
This saber strike was silent and traceless.
Furthermore, with the Space Great Dao now within Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body.
Thus, this saber slash also silently traversed space, instantly arriving before Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable.
“What?”
Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable was greatly shocked.
But Ji Qing’s saber was just like that.
Once drawn, the saber strike was guaranteed to hit!
Moon Shadow Hidden Blade could unleash 60% of Ji Qing’s amplification.
Coupled with the Immortal Slaying Saber, which gathered three Great Daos within itself.
Therefore, with this strike, Ji Qing unleashed a True Immortal Combat Power exceeding 9,000 times.
How terrifying was this?
Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable almost immediately set up three layers of defense.
And frantically retreated backward.
Unfortunately, it was still too late.
The three layers of defense shattered instantly.
That was his Immortal Venerable-grade defensive immortal treasure.
Yet, it was like an eggshell, shattering upon contact!
This was simply unbelievable.
Subsequently, the blade light fiercely slashed onto Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable’s Great Dao Body.
Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable immediately utilized the power of the “Great Dao” within his Great Dao Body.
Terrifying flames seemed capable of burning everything.
The blade light was the same!
The blade light was scorched, but it still annihilated Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable’s Great Dao Body.
Thirty percent, fifty percent, eighty percent!
Finally, Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable’s Great Dao Body stopped being annihilated.
But Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable felt no joy whatsoever.
Instead, there was bone-chilling cold.
He had almost died!
He even suspected that Ji Qing had held back.
Otherwise, why would only eighty percent of his Great Dao Body have been annihilated?
Or, if Ji Qing struck again, he would surely die!
Ji Qing had only unleashed one strike just now.
He couldn’t even withstand one strike.
“How is this possible…”
Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable looked utterly dejected.
A dignified Immortal Venerable, even one who had cultivated for countless years.
Was now nearly killed by Ji Qing with a single saber strike.
It was naturally difficult for him to accept.
But this was the reality!
“I have lost…”
Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable spoke with bitterness in his heart, but still conceded.
Ji Qing had clearly held back.
Otherwise, with 9,000 times True Immortal Combat Power, one strike could have killed Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable, not just annihilated eighty percent of his Great Dao Body.
Seeing this scene, the remaining four Immortal Venerables fell silent.
But they were still unwilling.
Thus, they stepped forward one by one for “sparring.”
However, without exception, all were defeated in one strike.
By now, who could not tell that Ji Qing had held back?
Because the five Immortal Venerables, regardless of strength, each had eighty percent of their Great Dao Body annihilated with a single strike.
How could that be such a coincidence?
Then there was only one reason.
Ji Qing had held back.
Otherwise, these five Immortal Venerables would likely all have died today!
Around them, whether True Immortals or Immortal Lords, witnessing this scene, they seemed to disbelieve their own eyes.
But before everyone’s eyes, this was the reality!
“This Immortal Venerable is truly… unimaginable! He defeated five Immortal Venerables consecutively, and all of them were Immortal Venerables from the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect, possessing extraordinary strength, yet each was defeated with eighty percent of their Great Dao Body annihilated by a single strike.”
“It’s obvious this Immortal Venerable also held back; otherwise, he could have killed any one of these five Immortal Venerables with a single strike. Such strength is truly extraordinary.”
“This Immortal Venerable seems to be Ji Qing? The newly promoted Immortal Venerable from the Xu Mi Immortal Sect of the First Heaven, someone has already recognized him. This Immortal Venerable Ji is also very famous, a powerful Immortal Venerable who once gained renown throughout the Thirty-three Heavens!”
“Furthermore, this Immortal Venerable Ji Qing seems to have mastered the method of incubating Treasures of the Great Dao. If the five Immortal Venerables of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect couldn’t stop him, who could?”
Indeed, the five Immortal Venerables could not stop him.
For a time, the five Immortal Venerables cleared the path.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, please proceed. We keep our word.”
Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable said.
Since the five Immortal Venerables were no match for Ji Qing, further obstruction was meaningless.
They did not wish to die.
If they truly angered Ji Qing, he likely wouldn’t hold back anymore and would directly slay them.
This was not an impossible scenario.
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing did not hesitate at all, immediately transforming into a beam of light and disappearing into the Abyss of the Great Dao. Without any pause, Ji Qing traversed the void and returned to the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
Upon returning to the Xu Mi Immortal Sect, Ji Qing couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
Ji Qing knew very well what it meant to have exposed his ability to “incubate Treasures of the Great Dao.”
This was no small matter.
But fortunately, he also had a background.
If he hadn’t been backed by the Xu Mi Immortal Sect, being merely a rogue Immortal Venerable, or an Immortal Venerable from a small sect, would the five Immortal Venerables have been so reasonable?
Even if Ji Qing could defeat the five Immortal Venerables, wouldn’t the high-and-mighty Immortal Kings of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect personally intervene?
The reason Ji Qing could safely return to the Xu Mi Immortal Sect now.
Was solely due to one reason.
He had the behemoth that was the Xu Mi Immortal Sect behind him!
This was his backing and reliance!
Ji Qing first went to Purple Void Palace.
These matters still needed to be discussed with his Master.
Soon, Ji Qing arrived at Purple Void Palace.
“Master.”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable had already seen Ji Qing.
She felt a hidden anticipation and excitement within her heart.
“Ji Qing, you…”
“Master, please look.”
Ji Qing presented the hairpin immortal treasure that belonged to his Master.
“Treasure of the Great Dao!”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable was incredibly excited.
Her voice even trembled.
That’s right, this was the Treasure of the Great Dao she had always dreamed of!
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable took the hairpin, and she immediately felt an effortless connection, as if it were an extension of her own arm.
Moreover, the Great Dao within the hairpin had indeed fully matured, resonating with the Great Dao within her own Great Dao Body.
At this moment, the Might of her Treasure of the Great Dao surged to a thousand times True Immortal Combat Power!
This caused Zi Xu Immortal Venerable’s strength to surge instantly!
“Hahaha, Ji Qing, well done! I never thought you would truly succeed…”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable was overjoyed.
She had only approached it with a “let’s try” attitude before.
It would be great if it succeeded, but if it didn’t, she wouldn’t mind.
Besides, it would be normal if it hadn’t succeeded.
How could Treasures of the Great Dao be incubated so easily?
To think that Ji Qing had actually succeeded in incubating one!
“Master, some unexpected things happened this time…”
Ji Qing recounted in detail the obstruction by the five Immortal Venerables of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect.
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable’s expression turned somewhat peculiar.
The five Immortal Venerables of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect?
Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable, she knew, was very strong.
Before possessing a Treasure of the Great Dao, Bao Xuan Immortal Venerable was stronger than her.
Her reputation was also greater than hers.
Yet, he couldn’t withstand a single strike from Ji Qing?
Even the five Immortal Venerables of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect couldn’t withstand Ji Qing’s strike.
What level had Ji Qing’s strength reached now?
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable seemed to have a newfound understanding of Ji Qing.
It hadn’t been long since Ji Qing had been promoted to Immortal Venerable.
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable still regarded Ji Qing as her once weak disciple…
But now, it seemed the disciple had grown up.
He had long since become a towering tree!
Perhaps even stronger than her.
“Master, the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect already knows I have a method for incubating Treasures of the Great Dao, I’m afraid…”
Ji Qing said softly.
“This is indeed a problem, but you don’t need to fear. My Xu Mi Immortal Sect is not afraid of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect! How about this, I will immediately report this matter to the Immortal King. I believe the sect will make its own decision. You can rest assured and wait.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Ji Qing also felt slightly relieved.
While the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect was powerful, the Xu Mi Immortal Sect was not weak.
The Treasure Refining Immortal Sect had Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors; the Xu Mi Immortal Sect had them too.
In the Thirty-three Heavens, any hegemonic power had to have an Immortal Emperor presiding over it to be considered a hegemonic power.
Therefore, Ji Qing truly had no need to worry.
Time passed day by day.
In the blink of an eye, several months had gone by.
One day, Ji Qing received a Communication Talisman from his Master.
Ji Qing arrived at Purple Void Palace.
“Master, you sent me a message, is there something?”
Ji Qing asked.
“Yes, indeed there is, and it’s great news!”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable appeared very happy.
“Didn’t you mention last time that the five Immortal Venerables of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect obstructed you? Our Xu Mi Immortal Sect’s Immortal King personally intervened, and the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect’s Immortal King has apologized.”
“Furthermore, you don’t need to hide the fact that you can incubate Treasures of the Great Dao. If you have the ability, bring it out. The Immortal King has secured benefits for you. If you want to incubate Treasures of the Great Dao, you can, but you must be asked for your opinion and be presented with satisfactory conditions.”
“Therefore, Ji Qing, you can continue to incubate Treasures of the Great Dao in the future, and even cooperate with the Xu Mi Immortal Sect, sharing a portion of the profits. This is a long-term benefit.”
“And, whatever cultivation resources you need, just state your conditions. With so many Immortal Venerables and hegemonic powers in the Thirty-three Heavens, what kind of treasures are there that you can’t get? As long as you incubate Treasures of the Great Dao, you can exchange them for the cultivation resources you need. In this way, you might even have a chance at becoming an Immortal King!”
Hearing Zi Xu Immortal Venerable’s words, Ji Qing’s heart was filled with stormy seas.
An Immortal King had intervened?
Moreover, he could now openly incubate Treasures of the Great Dao.
No need to hide it.
He only needed to share a portion of the profits from the incubated Treasures of the Great Dao with the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
And he could specify certain conditions, having the right to refuse or agree.
The decision-making power was entirely in Ji Qing’s hands.
It was as if the Xu Mi Immortal Sect was acting as Ji Qing’s backing, and from now on, anyone who sought Ji Qing to incubate Treasures of the Great Dao would have to negotiate terms and show sufficient sincerity.
The heavy stone that had been pressing on Ji Qing’s heart was thus silently removed.
It even brought Ji Qing the greatest benefits!
If Ji Qing needed some cultivation resources, he could just exchange them for Treasures of the Great Dao.
None?
Then let those Immortal Venerables who wish to nurture Treasures of the Great Dao seek them.
When he finds them, he will nurture the Treasures of the Great Dao.
For Immortal Venerables, the temptation of a Treasure of the Great Dao is irresistible.
For a Treasure of the Great Dao, Immortal Venerables are willing to offer any precious Resources or Treasures with both hands.
Of course, Ji Qing also understands that the prerequisite for all this is the Power to suppress the hegemonic forces of the Thirty-three Heavens.
If he cannot suppress them, then Ji Qing will also inevitably fail to protect the method of nurturing Treasures of the Great Dao.
But the Xu Mi Immortal Sect can suppress them.
Then this method of nurturing Treasures of the Great Dao will still belong to Ji Qing!
“Thank you, Master!”
Ji Qing took a deep breath and bowed to Zi Xu Immortal Venerable.
He understood what it meant to be able to achieve all this.
He didn’t need to hide anything.
He could also obtain unimaginable Resources and Treasures through this.
“Ji Qing, I told you, don’t worry, the sect will handle everything! Let’s go, I’ll take you to see an Immortal King. This time, the Immortal King has personally gone to great lengths for you.”
Ji Qing nodded.
Thus, Zi Xu Immortal Venerable took Ji Qing and flew towards the Immortal King’s Palace.
There must be more than one Immortal King in the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
When Ji Qing and Zi Xu Immortal Venerable arrived at an Immortal King’s Palace, Ji Qing looked at the name above it.
“Heavenly Mandate Palace?”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable said with a smile, “Yes, this is the Heavenly Mandate Palace, and inside is the Heavenly Mandate Immortal King of our Xu Mi Immortal Sect!”
“Heavenly Mandate Immortal King…”
Ji Qing immediately thought of the Heavenly Mandate Saber he cultivated.
It couldn’t be such a coincidence, could it? The names are so similar.
“Master, that Heavenly Mandate Saber…”
“Ji Qing, you guessed correctly, the Heavenly Mandate Saber was created by the Heavenly Mandate Immortal King!”
As expected, Ji Qing’s heart instantly tightened.
The Heavenly Mandate Saber provided a 50% boost, and Ji Qing still uses it now.
A strike is always a hit!
It is indeed a very miraculous Saber Technique.
He never expected it to be created by an Immortal King.
He and the Heavenly Mandate Immortal King have had some connection.
“Rumble.”
The Great Door of the Heavenly Mandate Palace slowly opened.
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable led Ji Qing into the Heavenly Mandate Palace.
Even Zi Xu Immortal Venerable, upon stepping into the Heavenly Mandate Palace, immediately became solemn, not daring to act recklessly in the slightest.
Soon, the two arrived at the Great Hall of the Heavenly Mandate Palace.
They both saw a figure on the main seat.
Upon seeing this figure, Ji Qing’s heart trembled.
Seeing this figure, it was as if he was directly facing the “Great Dao”.
It seemed as if this figure was the embodiment of the Great Dao.
This is an Immortal King!
Having initially mastered the Great Dao within the Great Dao Body.
It is not wrong to say that an Immortal King is the embodiment of the Great Dao.
Because, an Immortal King is the Great Dao.
The Great Dao is an Immortal King!
“Greetings, Heavenly Mandate Immortal King!”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable and Ji Qing respectfully bowed to the Heavenly Mandate Immortal King.
The Heavenly Mandate Immortal King did not speak but kept staring at Ji Qing.
As if he wanted to see through Ji Qing from head to toe.
After a long while, the Heavenly Mandate Immortal King slowly said, “Take a seat.”
“Yes, Immortal King.”
The two sat on chairs to the side.
The Heavenly Mandate Immortal King smiled slightly and said, “Ji Qing, you are an Immortal Venerable of my Xu Mi Immortal Sect. No matter what, my Xu Mi Immortal Sect will protect you. Regarding the matter of the Treasure of the Great Dao, Zi Xu should have told you, right?”
“Reporting to the Immortal King, Master has already explained it in detail.”
“What are your thoughts on this?”
“Ji Qing thanks the Immortal King! Thank you, Sect!”
Ji Qing’s attitude satisfied the Heavenly Mandate Immortal King.
It was not in vain that he personally went to the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect and spoke with the Immortal King of the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect.
He had even personally intervened to protect Ji Qing.
From now on, Ji Qing can openly go to the Abyss of the Great Dao to nurture the Treasure of the Great Dao.
Of course, the Immortal Crystals that should be paid still need to be paid.
Moreover, the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect has a priority right.
They can allow Ji Qing to prioritize nurturing Treasures of the Great Dao under the same conditions.
In fact, these are not a big deal.
Ji Qing is not stupid either.
He has been nurturing Treasures of the Great Dao within the Abyss of the Great Dao, so he will naturally maintain good relations with the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect.
“Not bad.”
“Ji Qing, if you have any matters in the future, you can come directly to this Immortal King.”
“Thank you, Immortal King.”
Ji Qing and Zi Xu Immortal Venerable respectfully took their leave and departed the Heavenly Mandate Palace.
“Whoosh…”
Ji Qing let out a sigh of relief.
Although his Strength was already very strong.
Facing an Immortal King, he still felt very small.
To have initially mastered the Great Dao within the Great Dao Body, what a magnificent presence that was.
However, from beginning to end, the Heavenly Mandate Immortal King never asked Ji Qing why he could nurture the Treasure of the Great Dao.
Clearly, this was Ji Qing’s Secret.
The Heavenly Mandate Immortal King not asking meant that his intentions were obvious.
The Xu Mi Immortal Sect would not covet Ji Qing’s method of nurturing Treasures of the Great Dao.
This allowed Ji Qing to rest assured.
“How is it, can you rest assured now?”
Zi Xu Immortal Venerable said with a smile.
She could naturally see the wariness in Ji Qing’s heart.
This was actually normal.
Ji Qing was a cultivator who had ascended.
To be able to cultivate to the current Immortal Venerable realm was all achieved through hard fighting, step by step.
The schemes and tricks of the Lower Realm were perfectly normal.
Ji Qing would naturally have a sense of caution.
“Master, I can indeed rest assured now, thank you Master!”
Ji Qing also knew that for his matter, his Master must have been running around.
The fact that this matter could reach the Heavenly Mandate Immortal King was most likely due to Zi Xu Immortal Venerable.
Otherwise, why would Zi Xu Immortal Venerable choose the Heavenly Mandate Immortal King among the many Immortal Kings in the Xu Mi Immortal Sect?
There were probably some considerations involved.
Of course, all of this was good for Ji Qing.
Ji Qing returned to the Golden Toad Palace.
As a result, as soon as he returned to the Golden Toad Palace, an Immortal Venerable came to visit.
It was an Immortal Venerable from the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
And an Immortal Venerable from the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect.
After all, the News that Ji Qing could nurture Treasures of the Great Dao was currently only circulating within the Xu Mi Immortal Sect and the Treasure Refining Immortal Sect.
But this might not be the case for long.
It would probably spread throughout the Thirty-three Heavens very quickly.
By then, it would be difficult for ordinary Immortal Venerables to even get a meeting with Ji Qing.
Now they had the advantage of being close.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, we have come with sincerity.”
This time, he came with many cultivation Resources.
He only asked Ji Qing to help him nurture a Treasure of the Great Dao.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, we are all Immortal Venerables of the Xu Mi Immortal Sect. This old man has also prepared many Treasures, only asking Fellow Daoist Ji to nurture the Treasure of the Great Dao.”
The Immortal Venerables of the Xu Mi Immortal Sect also hurriedly spoke.
At once, nearly ten Immortal Venerables displayed their “sincerity,” only asking Ji Qing to nurture a Treasure of the Great Dao.
This was just the beginning.
In the future, how many Immortal Venerables would come seeking him?
For a time, Ji Qing also felt a sense of “blissful” annoyance.
If in the future, how many Immortal Venerables will come here with admiration?
For a time, Ji Qing also felt a sense of “happy” distress.
