Chapter 300: Ji Qing, With Immortal Venerable Body, Defies And Slays Calamity God King! Ninth Heaven Shakes! Immortal Realm Shakes!
“I… will die?!”
The Calamity God King couldn’t believe it; “death” would befall him.
Ever since achieving God King status, the Calamity God King had always been the embodiment of death.
Wherever he passed, it was inevitably a scene of devastation, calamity, and countless deaths.
But when “death” loomed over him, the Calamity God King seemed to awaken abruptly.
He was afraid!
His heart was filled with terror.
He realized how much he feared death.
“No, I cannot die…”
The Calamity God King roared, mobilizing the power of his remaining Divine Kingdom, attempting to resist this strike!
Simultaneously, the Calamity God King also moved out a portion of his fanatical followers, causing them to flee madly.
He had ultimately made a contingency plan.
After all, the Calamity God King was, in the end, afraid.
Now, the Calamity God King’s Divine Kingdom was riddled with holes, shattered.
With what could he possibly resist Ji Qing’s strongest saber strike?
“Boom.”
This saber strike was earth-shattering.
Even the formidable Divine Kingdom of the Calamity God King could not withstand Ji Qing’s strike.
Everyone could see that Ji Qing’s saber strike easily cleaved through the Calamity God King’s Divine Kingdom, even splitting it in two from top to bottom, right through the middle.
More importantly, there was the Calamity God King’s Divine Spirit Body.
This was the core second only to the Divine Kingdom.
Ji Qing’s saber strike targeted the Calamity God King’s Divine Spirit Body.
“No…”
The Calamity God King could only watch in horror as the saber light fell upon his Divine Spirit Body.
Even though a God King’s Divine Spirit Body was incredibly powerful, under this saber strike, it rapidly melted and annihilated like ice and snow.
In the blink of an eye, the Calamity God King’s Divine Spirit Body was obliterated.
As for the Divine Kingdom, which had been split in half, because the Divine Spirit Body was destroyed, the Divine Kingdom also began to collapse.
A few breaths later, the Divine Kingdom also annihilated.
“How could a God King die…”
The God of Ruin couldn’t believe his eyes.
Unfortunately, with the collapse of the Divine Kingdom and the death of the God King, the God of Ruin, as a member of the Calamity God King’s Divine System, cried out and wailed as his Divine Kingdom collapsed, and he died.
Silence!
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Such a massive disturbance had already attracted the attention of many Deities.
And now, these Deities were all staring in shock at the figure in the void.
The Divine Kingdom from earlier, that was definitely a God King!
But, a God King had actually died?
It was simply incredible.
No matter how fierce the battle between the Gods Universe and the Heavenly Court was, no God King or Immortal King had ever fallen until now.
But now, a God King had fallen.
“Ji Qing, how dare you?!”
Seeing this, the Radiant God King, the Judgment God King, and the War God King’s eyes turned bloodshot.
Dead!
The mighty Calamity God King had actually died?
Even if some fanatical followers miraculously escaped, it wasn’t true demise.
But with his Divine Spirit Body destroyed and his Divine Kingdom collapsed, even if the Calamity God King could resurrect within his fanatical followers, it would only be lingering on, and it was unknown how many years it would take to ascend to Godhood again.
The worst-case scenario that the three God Kings had previously estimated was that the Calamity God King would be unable to deal with Ji Qing, allowing Ji Qing to escape successfully, with only some High Gods lost.
This was already the worst outcome they could have envisioned.
But now?
The Calamity God King had actually died?
This was… even a fairy tale wouldn’t be this outrageous.
But the fact was precisely so.
Such an outrageous event was happening before everyone’s eyes.
Ji Qing, with the power of an Immortal Venerable, struck down a God King, slaying the Calamity God King with a single saber strike!
The three God Kings were enraged.
Almost without thinking, they immediately unleashed their Divine Kingdoms, attempting to sweep towards Ji Qing.
However, three majestic figures suddenly appeared in the void.
They were like manifestations of the Great Dao, with infinite Immortal Spiritual Energy emanating majestically throughout the void.
They were none other than the three Immortal Kings of the Yun Guang Secret Realm!
“Hahaha, Radiant God King, a one-on-one fight is one thing, but if you want to gang up three-on-one to bully an Immortal Venerable, we won’t stand for it!”
The Creation Immortal King and the other two Immortal Kings also immediately intervened, blocking the three God Kings.
No matter how furious the three God Kings were, they could not cross the line, not even getting close to Ji Qing.
The great war between the three God Kings and the three Immortal Kings shook the Ninth Heaven.
The commotion was truly immense.
It was as if they were going to shatter the Ninth Heaven.
However, such a massive disturbance, along with what had just happened, quickly spread throughout the entire Ninth Heaven.
It wasn’t even limited to the Ninth Heaven.
Many True Immortals, Immortal Lords, and even Immortal Venerables rapidly spread the news.
It had already reached the Thirty-three Heavens of the entire Immortal Realm.
Ji Qing, as an Immortal Venerable, striking down a God King was simply inconceivable.
Crucially, Ji Qing had succeeded.
He had slain the Calamity God King with a single saber strike!
In the history of the Immortal Realm, there had never been a case of an Immortal Venerable striking down an Immortal King.
Not a single one.
But now, an Immortal Venerable had struck down a God King.
Although a God King was not an Immortal King, ever since the Gods Universe invaded the Immortal Realm and even occupied the Ninth Heaven, many Immortals and Deities had engaged in life-and-death combat, and the Immortals understood a fact: Deities were no less inferior to Immortals.
In fact, Deities were even stronger!
A God King, in certain situations, could be even more terrifying than an Immortal King.
If Ji Qing could strike down a God King, then he could certainly strike down an Immortal King!
This news was enormous.
And incredibly shocking!
Ji Qing did not remain in his current location.
He had already slain the Calamity God King and triggered a storm; now he had to “retreat while the going is good.”
Otherwise, no one knew what would happen.
After all, there was a Main God in the Ninth Heaven, who was above God Kings!
Although the Main God had never shown himself, he was definitely in the Ninth Heaven, otherwise, these God Kings and Deities of the Gods Universe would not have been able to gain a foothold there.
Even that Main God was likely being watched by the Heavenly Court’s Immortal Emperors.
But at a time like this, knowing when to stop was the true path to victory!
“Swish.”
Ji Qing directly traversed the void and disappeared from sight.
The battle between the three God Kings and the three Immortal Kings truly ignited their fury this time.
It lasted for a full nine days!
It was said that Immortal King’s blood had even been shed from the sky.
There were also the mournful cries of countless believers within the God Kings’ Divine Kingdoms.
The Divine Kingdoms were torn apart, Immortal Kings were injured, and finally, this great war ended.
The Gods Universe suffered heavy losses!
Many High Gods perished.
Not to mention Mid-level Gods or Lower-level Gods.
Furthermore, many Secret Realms were also shattered.
Because of Ji Qing’s slaying of the Calamity God King, the Deities of the Gods Universe and the Immortals of the Heavenly Court erupted in the largest and most brutal battle in the Ninth Heaven.
Both sides suffered heavy losses.
However, as the person at the center of this storm, Ji Qing remained hidden within the Yun Guang Secret Realm and did not reappear.
Although both sides had ceased hostilities, the news continued to spread like wildfire.
The Heavenly Court’s prestige soared!
Along with it, the morale of the entire Immortal Realm rose.
It seemed the Gods Universe was no longer invincible.
Ever since the war began and the Gods Universe occupied the Ninth Heaven, they had held the absolute advantage.
Many Immortals in the Immortal Realm were actually quite disheartened deep down.
But now, Ji Qing, as an Immortal Venerable, striking down a God King had truly allowed the Immortals to vent their frustrations!
At this moment, Ji Qing was in the Immortal King’s Palace.
He saw the three Immortal Kings.
“Greetings, Immortal Kings!”
Ji Qing still bowed to the three Immortal Kings.
The Creation Immortal King shook his head and waved his hand, conjuring a chair.
“Immortal Venerable Ji, please take a seat.”
Ji Qing looked at the chair.
He had been to this Immortal King’s Palace many times.
He had never received such treatment before.
However, Ji Qing knew the reason.
Strength!
His strength had earned him the respect of the Immortal Kings!
Ji Qing no longer refused and directly sat on the chair.
The Creation Immortal King said with a smile, “Immortal Venerable Ji, we sent you to investigate if there were any new God Kings in the Gods Universe, but instead, you slew the Calamity God King…”
“However, this is a good thing! After our subsequent investigation, we have learned the background of this Calamity God King. The Calamity God King was very powerful, an old-guard God King in the Gods Universe. He was invited to the Immortal Realm by the three God Kings at great cost, with the sole purpose of dealing with you. But to think he was slain by you, this can also be considered karma and retribution.”
Ji Qing was not surprised.
Back then, when the Calamity God King’s power erupted from within the God of Ruin, Ji Qing knew that the God of Ruin was a “bait,” and the target was himself.
“Immortal Kings, the death of the Calamity God King was an accident. I truly only intended to investigate new God Kings. For self-preservation, I was forced to act, and I didn’t expect the Calamity God King to be weaker than I imagined, so…”
Ji Qing’s words made the corners of the three Immortal Kings’ mouths twitch slightly.
An accident?
From many subsequent clues, it truly seemed like an accident.
Ji Qing had never intended to face a God King in a direct battle, nor had he ever thought he could strike down a God King.
Yet this “accident” had shaken the Immortal Realm and the Gods Universe.
“Immortal Venerable Ji, regardless of whether it was an accident or the reason behind it, the fact that you slew the Calamity God King is a good thing! According to the rules set by the Heavenly Court, for killing a God King, you can obtain one hundred thousand Battle Merits.”
“Also, you discovered a new God King, so you have also completed this task. Therefore, you will also receive that ten thousand Battle Merits.”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up.
He had also killed five High Gods. Calculating this, he had obtained a total of one hundred and fifteen thousand Battle Merits.
Adding his previous Battle Merits.
Ji Qing’s Battle Merits reached exactly 120,500, just over 120,000!
One hundred and twenty thousand was enough to comprehend under the Great Dao Treasure Tree for twelve years.
This was the greatest gain!
Seeing Ji Qing’s excitement upon hearing “Battle Merits,” the Creation Immortal King couldn’t help but chuckle.
However, if they wanted Immortals to risk their lives, they had to offer benefits.
And Battle Merits were tangible benefits.
“Immortal Venerable Ji, do not go assassinating those Deities for now, to avoid further provoking the three God Kings.”
“Why?”
Ji Qing asked.
Even if the three God Kings joined forces, with his current strength, he could completely do as he pleased.
Could it be that their Main God would take action?
But the Heavenly Court also had Immortal Emperors.
The Creation Immortal King said meaningfully, “Immortal Venerable Ji, do you know why there are only a mere three God Kings in the Ninth Heaven, yet the Heavenly Court has never sent more Immortal Kings to drive them out? The Heavenly Court, not to mention anything else, can easily produce ten Immortal Kings, and if they mobilized the Thirty-three Heavens, thirty Immortal Kings would be nothing. But why are there always only three Immortal Kings?”
Ji Qing frowned.
This was indeed a problem.
The Gods Universe dispatched three God Kings, and the Immortal Realm’s Heavenly Court also only dispatched three Immortal Kings.
This was indeed very strange.
“Could it be for… balance?”
Ji Qing thought of a possibility.
“Yes, it’s for balance!”
“The war that broke out between us and the Gods Universe is currently only on a small scale. Radiant God King and other God Kings are merely one faction within the Gods Universe. If this escalates and we eliminate all three God Kings, how many God Kings will be transferred from the Gods Universe in the future? Ten, or thirty? Or perhaps, outright three hundred?”
“At that time, how many Immortal Kings will the Immortal Realm have to send out? If the war truly develops to that point, it will become a war of attrition. As long as the cosmic passage exists, the attrition will continue, and the price will be too great!”
“Therefore, three God Kings and three Immortal Kings is basically a tacit understanding between the Gods Universe and us. As for when this tacit understanding will be broken, it’s simple: either the Gods Universe feels it can completely occupy the Immortal Realm, or our Immortal Realm has the confidence to completely close or seal the cosmic passage. Otherwise, maintaining this tacit understanding is the best choice for both sides.”
Hearing Creation Immortal King’s detailed explanation, Ji Qing understood.
This tacit understanding was indeed the best choice.
Of course, for the Immortal Realm, it was a bit stifling.
After all, the Gods Universe was the aggressor, even occupying the Ninth Heaven, yet the Immortal Realm still had to maintain a tacit understanding with the Gods Universe.
But this was the reality!
If the Immortal Realm could close the cosmic passage to the Gods Universe, then the Immortal Realm would have long ago launched a fierce attack and swept away all the Deities in the Ninth Heaven.
But the Immortal Realm could not do so at present, so it could only maintain a tacit understanding with the Gods Universe.
Ji Qing left the Immortal King Palace.
Without any hesitation, he directly redeemed twelve years of cultivation time for contemplating the Great Dao Treasure Tree with his battle merits.
That was twelve years of time to contemplate the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
Moreover, Ji Qing did not have to worry about wasting it.
Because even though he had mastered the Five Elements Great Dao, it was only a preliminary mastery.
Even after becoming an Immortal King, he would need to thoroughly master one Great Dao.
Contemplating the Great Dao Treasure Tree would still have some effect.
His battle merits would never be wasted.
And redeeming twelve years of contemplation time at once had one advantage: he would not be interrupted while contemplating the Great Dao because his allotted time had run out.
He could contemplate with peace of mind.
When Ji Qing arrived outside the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
Green Leaf Immortal Venerable’s expression brightened.
“Greetings, Immortal Venerable Ji!”
Green Leaf Immortal Venerable hurriedly rose and came before Ji Qing, bowing to him.
Although Ji Qing was not yet an Immortal King.
Ji Qing’s feat of defeating a God King had already spread throughout the entire Immortal Realm.
A God King was equivalent to an Immortal King.
If Ji Qing could defeat a God King, he could also defeat an Immortal King.
The current Ji Qing had simply not yet condensed an Immortal King Body.
In reality, Ji Qing already possessed Immortal King combat power and could be considered an Immortal King!
If Immortal Venerables were still considered high-tier combatants in the Immortal Realm, core members of many sects.
Then Immortal Kings were the top powerhouses of the entire Immortal Realm.
Those stronger than Immortal Kings were only the extremely rare Immortal Emperors and the legendary Enlightened Ones.
Both Immortal Emperors and Enlightened Ones were elusive.
Ordinary Immortals could not see them at all.
Even though the Gods Universe occupied the Ninth Heaven, who had seen an Immortal Emperor?
The strongest individuals visible in the Immortal Realm were, in fact, Immortal Kings.
Therefore, Green Leaf Immortal Venerable held such an attitude towards Ji Qing.
This placed Ji Qing above Immortal Venerables.
Ji Qing glanced at Green Leaf Immortal Venerable and said with a smile, “Immortal Venerable Green Leaf, no need to be so formal. I have redeemed twelve years of time to contemplate the Great Dao Treasure Tree.”
Venerable Green Leaf checked Ji Qing’s token and nodded, saying, “Immortal Venerable Ji, the Dao Rhyme of the Great Dao Treasure Tree is still sufficient. However, due to the reduction in Dao Rhyme, the effect of contemplating the Great Dao is indeed a bit weaker now.”
“However, contemplating under the Great Dao Treasure Tree does have some special advantages; the effect of contemplation is far better than in other places.”
“Oh? Where is that?”
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.
“This location is usually reserved for the Immortal Venerables of the Great Dao Immortal Sect. However, it is currently vacant, so it can be given to Immortal Venerable Ji. The location is within the Great Dao Treasure Tree, and it can only be accessed via teleportation through a Great Formation.”
“Inside the Great Dao Treasure Tree?”
Ji Qing was slightly taken aback.
One could enter the Great Dao Treasure Tree?
And even contemplate the Great Dao?
Moreover, from what Green Leaf Immortal Venerable said, it was a “secret” prepared by the Great Dao Immortal Sect for their own Immortal Venerables.
It could not be redeemed even with battle merits.
“Yes, the Great Dao can also be contemplated within the Great Dao Treasure Tree.”
“Then I’ll trouble you, Immortal Venerable Green Leaf.”
Ji Qing did not refuse. He knew that this time he truly had to “owe a favor.”
He would remember Green Leaf Immortal Venerable’s favor later.
He truly needed the opportunity to contemplate the Great Dao by the Great Dao Treasure Tree right now.
The better the effect, the more hope Ji Qing would have of mastering a third Great Dao.
This Five Elements Great Dao was not so easy to comprehend.
Even with the twelve years Ji Qing redeemed, he did not have absolute confidence.
Now that Ji Qing had the chance to obtain a location that enhanced his enlightenment effect, he would naturally not miss it.
Green Leaf Immortal Venerable immediately led Ji Qing to the outside of the Great Formation.
Then he activated the Great Formation.
“Buzz.”
Ji Qing relaxed his body, not using the Space Great Dao, allowing the Great Formation to transfer him into the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing appeared in an unfamiliar place.
The space here was quite narrow.
It was like an extremely narrow secret chamber.
However, Ji Qing immediately sensed a dense “Great Dao” aura.
It was as if he had encountered the Great Dao Treasure Tree for the first time.
That feeling of “facing the Great Dao directly” had disappeared after subsequent contemplations.
And now, that feeling had reappeared.
This showed that the effect of contemplating the Great Dao in this location was indeed far better than outside the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
“It is indeed a good place.”
Ji Qing was very satisfied.
Of the three Great Daos, only the Five Elements Great Dao remained.
With twelve years left, Ji Qing was well-prepared.
No matter how difficult the Five Elements Great Dao was, he had to seize this opportunity to master it.
Thus, Ji Qing did not hesitate and immediately began to contemplate the Five Elements Great Dao.
One year, two years, three years, four years, five years…
Ji Qing’s body would transform into a sharp metal sword, then into a towering ancient tree, then into a surging river, then into a blazing inferno, then into a majestic mountain.
The sharpness of metal, the vitality of wood, the flexibility of water, the ferocity of fire, the heaviness of earth… the Five Elements rotated, generating and overcoming each other.
The origins of the Five Elements manifested one by one around him.
Ji Qing made rapid progress in the first eight years.
However, after eight years, Ji Qing’s speed in contemplating the Five Elements Great Dao slowed down significantly.
After nine years, it completely stagnated.
But Ji Qing still did not give up.
He was already experienced in contemplating the Great Dao.
The Five Elements Great Dao he was contemplating was indeed different from the Space Great Dao and the Saber Great Dao before.
It was much more difficult.
However, Ji Qing continued to contemplate carefully.
Nine years, ten years, eleven years…
For the first time, Ji Qing’s contemplation of the Great Dao exceeded ten years.
And it was within the Great Dao Treasure Tree, a location with such good conditions.
This showed how difficult it was to contemplate the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
But Ji Qing had plenty of time redeemed.
Therefore, Ji Qing remained calm and unhurried.
“Buzz.”
Suddenly, one day, Ji Qing had an inspiration.
Five-colored light emanated brilliantly from Ji Qing’s body.
At the same time, his Great Dao Body vibrated violently.
It was done!
The Five Elements Great Dao was finally mastered!
This was the third Great Dao within Ji Qing’s Great Dao Body.
Once this third Great Dao was preliminarily mastered, the changes were immense.
The Five Elements Great Dao had no conflict with the Space Great Dao and the Saber Great Dao, as the three Great Daos already complemented each other when the Great Dao Body was condensed.
It was the same now.
The five-colored light shone, the Five Elements Great Dao vibrated, and even the Space Great Dao and the Saber Great Dao vibrated along.
At this moment, outside the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
Waves of five-colored light radiated from within the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
They quickly spread in all directions.
Many Immortal Venerables who were contemplating were awakened.
“What is happening?”
“Five-colored light… it seems to be the Five Elements Great Dao?”
“Not just the Five Elements Great Dao, it seems to be mixed with other complex Great Daos.”
“This aura is so terrifying, as if facing some Great Dao directly. But how could the Great Dao Treasure Tree suddenly experience such a change?”
Many Immortal Venerables had no idea what was happening.
Only Green Leaf Immortal Venerable’s heart stirred.
He seemed to have guessed something.
“Could it be… it’s done?”
Green Leaf Immortal Venerable was greatly shaken.
It was no secret that Ji Qing possessed three Great Daos.
Ji Qing had already preliminarily mastered his first two Great Daos, which was felt during his great battle with the God King.
Now, only the third, the Five Elements Great Dao, remained.
And now, if the Five Elements Great Dao was mastered, wouldn’t that mean Ji Qing had almost stepped into the realm of an Immortal King?
Could it be that Ji Qing was truly going to become an Immortal King?
Therefore, Green Leaf Immortal Venerable immediately informed others contemplating under the Great Dao Treasure Tree not to be affected.
Soon, the five-colored light also disappeared.
The terrifying pressure also vanished.
Ji Qing, inside the Great Dao Treasure Tree, checked his status.
Ji Qing: Immortal Venerable
Space Great Dao: Preliminarily Mastered
Five Elements Great Dao: Preliminarily Mastered
Saber Great Dao: Preliminarily Mastered
Young Chaos Demon God: Sixth Order （1%）
Mind: Eighth Realm Tenth Stage （Immortal Characteristic）
Immortal Points: 673 points
As expected, Ji Qing’s three Great Daos had all been mastered.
Now, Ji Qing only needed his Great Dao Body to transform into an Immortal King Body.
But not yet.
There was still a bit missing.
That was his Mind!
For an Immortal King, their Mind had basically reached the Ninth Realm.
Because only with a Ninth Realm mind can one better grasp the Great Dao and better condense the Immortal King Body.
“Ten years and three months. There are still nine months left. I can’t waste them.”
Ji Qing immediately continued to comprehend the Great Dao.
But this time, he shifted his focus to comprehending the Space Great Dao.
This Space Great Dao was of immense utility.
However, upon this comprehension, Ji Qing realized that the Great Dao Treasure Tree offered little assistance.
For the entire nine months, Ji Qing’s comprehension of the Space Great Dao improved by a negligible amount.
There was no significant change.
Ji Qing took a deep breath.
Although he was somewhat disappointed, his primary objective had been achieved.
Ji Qing could already feel the displacement power of the Great Formation. He did not mobilize his power of space to resist, allowing the formation’s power to act upon him.
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing was displaced from the Great Dao Treasure Tree.
At a glance, he saw Green Leaf Immortal Venerable not far away.
“Congratulations, Immortal Venerable Ji, on comprehending the Great Dao! Becoming an Immortal King is just around the corner!”
Ji Qing smiled slightly. “Then I’ll take your good wishes, Green Leaf Immortal Venerable.”
With that, Ji Qing directly traversed space.
This time, he did not return to the Yun Guang Secret Realm.
Instead, he returned to the First Heaven’s Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
Since Creation Immortal King had said it was not advisable to “provoke” the Gods Universe at this time, he could not go and “assassinate” deities.
So, Ji Qing simply returned to the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
Ji Qing sent a communication talisman to Creation Immortal King.
Creation Immortal King also agreed.
He told Ji Qing to return to the Xu Mi Immortal Sect to rest.
And that he would be notified if needed.
Thus, Ji Qing returned to the Golden Toad Palace of the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
“Swish.”
When Ji Qing’s figure appeared, Ji Yao, Baoyue, and Yunmeng Goddess were all immensely surprised and excited.
“Brother, you’re back? There are rumors outside that you killed a God King from the Gods Universe. Is it true?”
Ji Yao’s eyes lit up, staring intently at Ji Qing.
There had been too many rumors recently.
Killing a God King with the body of an Immortal Venerable?
This statement sounded so familiar?
Ji Yao and the other two understood that a God King was equivalent to an Immortal King.
If Ji Qing could kill a God King, he could kill an Immortal King.
It was simply unbelievable!
Currently, Ji Qing was merely an Immortal Venerable.
And an Immortal King?
Within the Xu Mi Immortal Sect, they were undoubtedly beings of supreme status, far surpassing Immortal Venerables.
Ji Qing nodded. “Yes.”
He did not deny it, nor could he deny it.
Moreover, Ji Qing had now initially mastered three Great Daos, giving him ample confidence.
“It’s true… Haha, it’s true! Brother, you’re equivalent to an Immortal King now, so can I just walk all over the Xu Mi Immortal Sect? No, I can walk all over the Immortal Realm…”
Ji Yao was very happy.
Previously, even though Ji Qing was an Immortal Venerable, his authority wasn’t absolute, and there were still many inconveniences.
But now that Ji Qing was comparable to an Immortal King, she wouldn’t feel that kind of restraint within the Xu Mi Immortal Sect anymore.
Ji Qing shook his head. “There’s always someone better, and there are always more people. Above Immortal Kings, there are still Immortal Emperors… However, you don’t need to be so cautious within the Xu Mi Immortal Sect anymore. Protecting you is still not a problem.”
“By the way, is Master still in the sect?”
Ji Qing asked.
“Zi Xu Immortal Venerable returned once, but quickly left for the Ninth Heaven. What, didn’t you see Zi Xu Immortal Venerable in the Ninth Heaven?” Baoyue asked curiously.
Ji Qing pondered.
Most likely, his Master also didn’t want to contact him in the Ninth Heaven to avoid distracting him.
However, if he was in the Ninth Heaven, his Master would certainly know his situation.
“I might be staying at the Xu Mi Immortal Sect for a while this time.”
“That’s wonderful.”
All three were very happy.
After Ji Qing returned, he did not immediately cultivate but relaxed for several months.
In fact, Ji Qing had been observing his fortune.
His fame in the Ninth Heaven had brought him immense fortune.
With this terrifying fortune accumulated, Ji Qing had no worries about a breakthrough in his mind.
His mind would definitely break through, and with more than enough.
After a few months of rest, Ji Qing re-entered the secret chamber.
He began to “use his heart to replace heaven’s heart,” his consciousness transferring into the spiritual imprint.
Then, Ji Qing directly “transformed into the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm.”
“Boom.”
Ji Qing immediately felt as if he had changed.
He seemed to have become the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm.
Terrifying pressure constantly refined his mind.
“Crack.”
In just an instant, Ji Qing felt his mind “transform.”
But after his mind transformed, Ji Qing did not stop.
Firstly, his heart realm had become stronger, allowing him to withstand some of the Immortal Realm’s pressures.
Secondly, Ji Qing’s fortune was immense. After all these years of accumulation, coupled with his feat of killing a God King as an Immortal Venerable, which had caused a sensation throughout the Immortal Realm, he had gained infinite fortune.
This surge of fortune allowed Ji Qing to sustain himself for a considerably longer period when using his heart to replace heaven’s heart.
Ji Qing’s thought moved.
After transforming into the Heavenly Dao, he first focused his attention on the Ninth Heaven, especially the cosmic passage.
This cosmic passage was what the Immortal Realm feared most.
Without this cosmic passage, the Immortal Realm could completely crush the deities of the Ninth Heaven.
If others couldn’t solve it, could Ji Qing, now transformed into the Immortal Realm’s “Heavenly Dao,” not solve it?
As Ji Qing focused his attention on the Ninth Heaven’s cosmic passage, he immediately discovered the “truth.”
Ji Qing looked through the cosmic passage.
He even saw an unimaginably vast universe.
It was far vaster than the Immortal Realm Universe.
That was the Gods Universe!
Furthermore, the Gods Universe was surrounded by other universes, not just one.
Ji Qing’s mind raced with countless thoughts.
“Why are there so many universes surrounding the Gods Universe?”
This was a question.
As for the problem of the cosmic passage, Ji Qing had already “seen” it very clearly.
It was the collision between the Gods Universe and the Immortal Realm Universe.
A portion of the two universes had overlapped, forming the cosmic passage.
Eliminating the cosmic passage was both simple and difficult.
Simple, because one only needed to separate the two universes, and the cosmic passage would naturally disappear.
Difficult, because who could push apart two universes?
Those were two incomparable universes.
Even an Enlightened One would likely be powerless.
But another question arose.
Why were there so many universes near the Gods Universe?
One after another.
Ji Qing could even see some universes slowly approaching the Gods Universe.
It was as if the Gods Universe was a giant magnet, continuously attracting nearby universes, even causing them to collide.
This was not normal!
It was precisely because of this characteristic that the Gods Universe could invade one universe after another.
And the Immortal Realm was merely one of the universes invaded by the Gods Universe.
“Could this be a characteristic of the Gods Universe? Or perhaps, generations of deities have imbued the Gods Universe with the characteristic of attracting other universes?”
Ji Qing mused.
Such an abnormal phenomenon, yet upon closer thought, perhaps it was inevitable.
Perhaps the Main Gods or Creation Gods within the Gods Universe had exerted some influence upon it.
This had caused the Gods Universe to become like a magnet, constantly attracting other universes.
In this way, it became even more difficult for the Immortal Realm to distance itself from the Gods Universe.
In fact, the Immortal Realm and the Gods Universe continued to collide, with their connection becoming increasingly strong.
“So, Creation Immortal King is still hoping for the cosmic passage to disappear? It’s impossible for it to disappear; instead, the passage will only grow larger…”
Thoughts flashed through Ji Qing’s mind.
He was now the “Heavenly Dao” of the Immortal Realm, so could he try to “push away” the Gods Universe?
Or, “push away” himself?
Pushing away the Gods Universe was impossible.
But “pushing away” himself should be feasible.
Thus, Ji Qing immediately began to attempt to “push away” the Immortal Realm, to distance it from the Gods Universe.
“Rumble.”
Instantly, the entire Immortal Realm trembled.
Even the Gods Universe trembled along with it.
Not only the Gods Universe, but the Eternal Universe also vibrated.
This was because the Eternal Universe had also collided with the Immortal Realm.
Such a tremor had a massive impact.
And it was immediately noticed by many cultivators.
“What’s happening? It feels like something terrifying is happening in the unseen.”
“Did the Immortal Realm just shake?”
“The Immortal Realm trembled?”
From True Immortals to Immortal Kings, and even Immortal Emperors,
all were perplexed.
What exactly had happened?
However, Ji Qing had overestimated himself and underestimated the Immortal Realm.
He had used all his strength, attempting to “push” the Immortal Realm itself away from the Gods Universe.
The result was merely a tremor throughout the Immortal Realm.
And then… nothing more happened.
The vast fortune Ji Qing had accumulated was instantly depleted.
Ji Qing’s consciousness suddenly felt extremely weary.
The consumption from his single attempt to “push” the Immortal Realm was simply too great.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing’s consciousness returned to his physical body.
Ji Qing’s “use his heart to replace heaven’s heart” had concluded.
He felt extremely “tired,” a result of excessive mental exhaustion.
Thus, Ji Qing immediately closed his eyes to rest, doing nothing but quietly recuperating.
About a month later, Ji Qing finally recovered.
“Hoo…”
Ji Qing let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.
“I was too rash… I actually dared to try and push the Immortal Realm. The consumption was just too immense…”
Ji Qing murmured softly.
Recalling the moment he tried to push the Immortal Realm, it was truly audacious.
Recalling the scene where he pushed the Immortal Realm, it was truly too audacious.
However, there were some effects.
The Immortal Realm vibrated.
This indicated that it was effective.
The direction should be correct.
It’s just that the consumption is too great.
With Ji Qing’s current Heart Realm and accumulated Fortune, it was far from enough to push the Immortal Realm.
But that might not be the case in the future.
This direction is correct, and I can work towards it in the future.
Ji Qing immediately checked his Heart Realm.
“Mind: Ninth Realm Third Order （ Immortal Characteristic ）”
Ji Qing’s Heart Realm had unknowingly broken through to the Ninth Realm, even reaching the Third Order.
This far exceeded Ji Qing’s expectations.
It seemed that his attempt to “push” the Immortal Realm had no effect on his Heart Realm improvement, as long as Ji Qing “used his heart to replace heaven’s heart,” his heart would be tempered at all times.
“My mind is not very strong now. If my mind reaches the Tenth Realm or even stronger in the future, will ‘using my heart to replace heaven’s heart’ be sustainable for a longer time? It’s not impossible to push the Immortal Realm away from the Gods Universe in the future.”
Ji Qing had some thoughts in his mind.
However, this would definitely take a long time.
It wasn’t something that could be done overnight.
Right now, for Ji Qing, there was only one most important thing.
That was to condense the Immortal King Body and thoroughly achieve Immortal King!
Only with greater Strength could one have higher status and access more hidden information.
In the Immortal Realm, Immortal Venerable was a dividing line.
Only by becoming an Immortal Venerable could one be considered a powerful figure in the Immortal Realm.
No matter where, Immortal Venerables held high status.
Similarly, Immortal King was also a dividing line.
If Immortal Venerable could only be considered to have high status, then Immortal King was the one who gave orders, belonging to the absolute top tier.
For example, the Ninth Heaven battlefield.
Immortal Kings were the ones giving orders.
Even Immortal Venerables had to obey the orders of Immortal Kings.
The step from Immortal Venerable to Immortal King was too difficult.
The preliminary mastery of the Great Dao within the Great Dao Body had already stopped countless Immortal Venerables.
But Ji Qing had already overcome this most difficult step.
He had already mastered the three Great Daos within his Great Dao Body.
Then there was only the last step, condensing the Immortal King Body.
This step was considered the simplest, but it was also quite crucial.
Ji Qing did not rush.
He used his Immortal Venerable authority to check the various steps for condensing the Immortal King Body.
Or, the experience and insights within the Xu Mi Immortal Sect regarding the condensation of the Immortal King Body.
This was the benefit of relying on a major power.
One could take fewer detours.
Avoid “traps” on the path of Cultivation.
Ji Qing reviewed the experience and insights of the past Immortal Kings in the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
It turned out that this Immortal King Body really had some intricacies.
This Immortal King Body was actually a reshaping of the Great Dao Body.
And reshaping was divided into three types.
The first type: reshaping the Immortal King Body using the mastered Great Dao as a foundation and Immortal Spiritual Energy as a supplement.
The second type: reshaping the Immortal King Body using the mastered Great Dao as a foundation and various precious Materials compatible with the Great Dao as a supplement.
The third type: reshaping the Immortal King Body by directly drawing down the Power of the Great Dao as a supplement, with the entire body covered in the Power of the Great Dao.
Actually, there was a fourth type.
Some Immortal Kings even reshaped their Immortal King Body with their own Great Dao as a foundation, Chaos Qi as a supplement, or various other strange powers as supplements.
Regardless of the method, it was based on the mastered Great Dao, which was the core and could not be changed.
So the difference lay in what was used as a supplement.
Using Immortal Spiritual Energy as a supplement was the most common, but also the safest method.
The Immortal King Body condensed this way would naturally be fine within the Immortal Realm.
Moreover, in the Immortal Realm, with the abundant Immortal Spiritual Energy, the Immortal King Body could unleash unparalleled Might, far surpassing other Immortal King Bodies.
However, if one went outside the Immortal Realm, for example, to other Universes, it would inevitably be affected to some extent.
For instance, if there were no Immortal Spiritual Energy, wouldn’t that be very troublesome?
The constraints would be significant.
But within the Immortal Realm, it was the most convenient.
The second method greatly enhanced the Might of the Immortal King Body.
For example, using some special Materials to reshape the Immortal King Body would further improve its offensive power.
But this method was somewhat extreme, prone to Limitations, and easily countered.
The most important reason was that these special Materials were very difficult to find.
The fourth method was self-explanatory, a fringe approach, not worth referencing.
For Ji Qing, he favored the third method more.
Directly drawing down the Power of the Great Dao to reshape the Immortal King Body.
The Power of the Great Dao was the essence of the Universe.
No matter where one went, it would be almost unaffected.
However, this method also had a drawback, which was mediocrity.
Yes, mediocrity.
Reshaping the Immortal King Body with the Power of the Great Dao would not provide any advantage in the Immortal Realm, and it would not compare favorably to an Immortal King Body reshaped with Immortal Spiritual Energy within the Immortal Realm.
In terms of augmenting the Immortal King Body, it couldn’t compare to an Immortal King Body reshaped with special Materials.
In the Immortal Realm, its Might also couldn’t compare to an Immortal King Body reshaped with Immortal Spiritual Energy.
In terms of strangeness, it also couldn’t compare to Immortal King Bodies reshaped through some peculiar methods.
The only advantage was stability.
If one went to other Universes, or to some places without Immortal Spiritual Energy, their Strength would basically not be affected at all.
Nor would they be countered by anything.
It was very mediocre.
But its adaptability was very wide.
If it were in the past, many Immortal Kings would have reshaped their Immortal King Bodies with Immortal Spiritual Energy, as they didn’t know about other Different Universes back then.
But with the emergence of Different Universes, many Immortal Kings had begun to adopt the method of using the Power of the Great Dao to reshape their Immortal King Bodies.
Ji Qing weighed it repeatedly in his mind.
He also made up his mind and chose the third method, reshaping his Immortal King Body with the Power of the Great Dao.
As for the Might of the reshaped Immortal King Body, it would depend on the Great Dao he himself mastered.
Each Immortal King mastered Great Daos differently.
Therefore, the reshaping of the Immortal King Body had great individual differences.
It all depended on the actual situation.
Ji Qing had also understood quite a bit.
Now his Mind and mastery of Great Daos met the requirements.
The method for reshaping the Immortal King Body had also been chosen.
Ji Qing no longer had any hesitation.
He immediately flew out of the Golden Toad Palace.
To receive the Power of the Great Dao, one still had to be in the Void, where it would be unaffected.
Moreover, Ji Qing still had to send a message to the Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
“Ji Qing of the Golden Toad Palace is reshaping his Immortal King Body today! I request the protection of the Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables of the Xu Mi Immortal Sect!”
The voice resounded mightily, spreading throughout the entire Xu Mi Immortal Sect.
Instantly, the Xu Mi Immortal Sect was in an uproar!
