Chapter 3171 Hand over this boy, and we may spare your life!
Since Ji Yang ascended the Immortal King Stele, the overall rankings have changed once again.
Mu Chen is ranked fiftieth on the Immortal King Stele.
Ye Yun is ranked eightyth on the Immortal King Stele.
A sect!
At the same time, three outstanding talents emerged and entered the Immortal King Stele.
One of them even reached the third position on the Immortal King Stele, which shocked the other forces.
but.
Regarding external affairs.
Shen Changqing ignored him.
Now, he has returned to the Xuanjie Immortal Mansion.
In front of it.
Ji Yang and his group are here.
"You have already received the blessing of the Heavenly Dao from the Immortal King Stele. This time, you will first cultivate in seclusion in the Profound Rank Immortal Mansion, and then directly attempt to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm!"
Shen Changqing said.
Hear the words.
The group exchanged glances.
Subsequently.
Ye Yun said, "Ancestor, now that we have entered the Immortal King Stele and obtained the opportunity of Heaven, I'm afraid other forces are already watching us in secret."
"If we don't leave Heavenly Dao Immortal City, all will be well. But once we leave, there will definitely be a lot of trouble!"
"You need not concern yourselves with this matter. As long as Changsheng does not intervene, I can guarantee your safety. If Changsheng does make a move... we'll discuss that then!"
Shen Changqing remained calm, and his composed demeanor undoubtedly gave the group immense confidence.
Hear this.
The group said nothing more and each chose a spot in the Xuanjie Cave and began their ascent to the Ancient Immortal Realm.
"The Immortal King's Stele is third!"
"Ji Yang gave me quite a surprise!"
Shen Changqing pinched the bridge of his nose. The third place on the Immortal King Stele was both a surprise and a trouble.
Although the Immortal King Stele is not as important as other Heavenly Dao Steles, it is still a different story once it enters the top ten.
After all, the higher the ranking, the better the rewards from Heaven's Blessing.
Entering the top fifty like Mu Chen, and transforming his acquired Thunder God Body into an innate Thunder God Body, is an extraordinary blessing from Heaven.
However, it cannot be denied that even if the Heavenly Blessings of the top ten are not as good as the Innate Immortal Body, they are probably not much worse.
but.
Shen Changqing also had his own reasons for his confidence.
As long as it's not Changsheng who takes action, he can handle it with his strength. If Changsheng doesn't care about saving face, then the only option is to ask Jiuye to step in.
But if Jiu Ye makes a move, things won't be so simple.
The subsequent consequences are numerous.
However, such things are unavoidable. After all, in the struggle for the Great Dao, one step back means falling behind step by step. Since Ye Yun, Ji Yang, and others can compete for the opportunity of the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele, Shen Changqing naturally wants to fight for them.
The consequences of doing so were actually expected.
If there was anything unexpected, it was probably that Shen Changqing hadn't expected Ji Yang to reach the third level of the Immortal King Stele.
According to his opinion.
Even if Ji Yang is the reincarnation of the Dao Venerable, he has not cultivated for long. It is already quite remarkable that he was able to enter the Immortal King Stele after tens of thousands of years.
According to the original estimate, Ji Yang's chances of making it into the top 50 would be the limit.
But now it seems.
Shen Changqing realized that he had underestimated this existence.
but.
Again.
When soldiers come, generals will meet them.
Water comes and earth covers it.
Let's just wait and see.
"but--"
"If I can reach the middle stage of Immortal Emperor, my strength can be further improved!"
The thought popped into Shen Changqing's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
Breaking through to the middle stage of Immortal Emperor is no easy feat.
Even after thousands of years, when he obtained the supreme treasure needed to create the universe from the Tongtian Pavilion, Shen Changqing was not confident that he could immediately break through to the middle stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.
After all, the celestial universe has not yet been fully developed. If we were to attempt to create an terrestrial universe, it would undoubtedly damage our own foundation.
Do it.
Not to mention the slim chance of success.
Even if one were to actually achieve that, it would be like drinking poison to quench thirst; any attempt to break through to the semi-saint realm in the future would be nothing but a fool's dream.
and so.
It was impossible for Shen Changqing to break through to the next realm at this time.
-
the other side.
Inside a grand hall of the Xuanjie Immortal Mansion.
Ji Yang is now sitting cross-legged, his mind focused on his dantian.
it's here.
A misty power permeated the air, imbued with the divine restrictions of the Great Dao, emanating an aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
When Ji Yang's divine sense landed on this power, he immediately saw the Great Dao Divine Restriction collapse, followed by an extremely terrifying bloodline power that erupted.
In an instant.
A majestic, indistinct phantom emerged from the void of the main hall, and then its image illuminated the sky within the Xuanjie Immortal Mansion.
Such an astonishing display of power naturally drew the attention of others.
but.
Due to the existence of the Immortal Abode Formation.
These unusual phenomena did not appear in the outside world.
Ji Yang paid little attention to these strange phenomena, as his attention was entirely focused on the changes within himself.
This powerful bloodline force merged into his body, and his physical body seemed to undergo an incredible transformation.
As the force gradually subsided, Ji Yang suddenly opened his eyes, his expression of surprise almost impossible to conceal.
"A complete innate bloodline!"
Ji Yang was well aware that the opportunity of being third on the Immortal King Stele was definitely not small, but he did not expect that the Heavenly Dao would directly bestow upon him an innate bloodline.
and.
It still has a complete innate bloodline!
even though.
In terms of combat power, innate bloodline can only be compared with acquired immortal body.
But here's the thing.
Ji Yang already possesses an innate immortal body, so if Heaven were to bestow upon him an acquired immortal body, it would be meaningless to him.
but--
They were born with different bloodlines.
Although such bloodlines can only rival those of the Acquired Immortal Body in terms of combat power, they are far superior to the Acquired Immortal Body in terms of cultivation.
It can be said.
With his innate immortal body, the fact that the Heavenly Dao has now bestowed upon Ji Yang an innate bloodline is an opportunity that can be described as defying the heavens.
Such an opportunity is even more important than allowing his innate immortal body to reach its full potential.
"The combination of innate immortal physique and innate bloodline makes even the so-called complete top-tier saint bloodline pale in comparison!"
"With these two as my foundation, I will find it much easier to return to the Dao Venerable realm in the future—"
Ji Yang was a little excited. What is a perfect start? This is a truly perfect start.
Thinking of his past life.
It is just a mortal body.
Although he eventually reached the Dao Venerable realm, only Ji Yang himself knew how many hardships and life-threatening dangers he had gone through.
If he had possessed the aptitude of this life, he would never have stopped at the Dao Venerable Realm in his previous life.
"I was initially disappointed that I didn't make it to the top of the Immortal King's Stele, but now it seems that even if you do make it to the top, you might not necessarily get the innate bloodline."
Even if you offered me the chance to be number one on the Immortal King's Stele, I would absolutely not agree to such an opportunity!
Ji Yang suppressed the joy in his heart.
The opportunities bestowed by the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele are beyond our control.
can only say.
The higher the ranking.
The greater the chance of obtaining an extraordinary opportunity, the better.
However, this does not mean that the reward for first place on the Immortal King's Stele will necessarily be better than that for third place.
At least.
In Ji Yang's view.
The third reward is now the one that best suits me.
With his innate bloodline and the advantage of his innate fire spirit immortal body, he has two great innate opportunities. He is absolutely confident that he can directly attain immortality when this great calamity arrives.
When Ji Yang first awakened his innate fire spirit immortal body, he could only say that he had a certain degree of confidence. But now, he has absolute confidence.
Not surprisingly.
I am certain that I will succeed in attaining enlightenment.
Subsequently.
Ji Yang then calmed his mind and began to attempt to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.
The path to becoming a semi-saint is still long; for now, the focus should be on breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.
……
"Innate bloodline!"
As Ye Yun watched the gradually dissipating celestial phenomena, the power of his bloodline trembled slightly, as if it were being attracted by some kind of power of the same origin.
He understands.
The third opportunity on the Ji Yang Immortal King Stele is the innate bloodline.
same.
Ye Yunxian's ranking of seventy-eight on the Immortal King's Stele is also due to his innate bloodline.
But the difference is.
Ji Yang possessed a complete innate bloodline, while Ye Yun only possessed a fragmented one.
A fleeting image of Venerable Xuanxu appeared. The rich immortal energy of the Xuan-rank Immortal Mansion had nourished his remnant soul for thousands of years, allowing this ancient half-saint to recover some of his strength.
however.
This was merely a manifestation of the divine thought of Venerable Xuanxu; his remnant soul essence remained within the ring.
"The opportunities in the top ten of the Immortal King's Stele are all astonishing. Now, this boy has obtained an innate bloodline, and it is likely that he possesses complete bloodline power!"
"but……"
"Although the innate bloodline you obtained this time is incomplete, it is still an innate bloodline. On a certain level, the power of this bloodline can even surpass that of the top saint bloodlines."
Therefore, even with a remnant of your innate bloodline, you are still comparable to the direct descendants of saints. With such a bloodline, your talent truly rivals that of so-called peerless geniuses!
Venerable Xuanxu's gaze was somewhat burning. To be honest, he hadn't expected Ye Yun to be able to obtain the opportunity of innate bloodline.
Even if the word "incomplete" is used to describe one's innate bloodline, it is still an innate bloodline.
Such bloodlines.
They are comparable to the descendants of saints.
Moreover, most of the descendants of saints, in terms of bloodline and aptitude, would find it difficult to compare with Ye Yun today.
The reason is simple.
Not all descendants of saints can perfectly inherit the saint's bloodline. Most descendants of saints, although they inherit the saint's bloodline, only have a little bit of bloodline power.
How can such impure bloodlines be compared to innate bloodlines?
all the time.
Ye Yun's biggest problem.
It's a constraint related to qualifications.
Although the other party had once undergone the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation and was granted a low-grade Immortal Emperor bloodline, which changed his aptitude somewhat, to put it bluntly, compared to a flawed innate bloodline, the low-grade Immortal Emperor bloodline was not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the latter.
This.
That's the difference!
With this bloodline, Ye Yun's path to breaking through to the Half-Saint realm was smooth sailing. Even if he later sought immortality and attempted to break through to the Half-Saint realm, he would have many advantages.
"in addition--"
"You are only at the Immortal King Realm now. If you are at the Ancient Immortal Realm and receive another blessing from Heaven in the future, you may have the opportunity to make up for the deficiencies in your innate bloodline."
Even if your breakthrough this time attracts an ancient celestial tribulation, there's still a chance!
Finally, Venerable Xuanxu offered another reminder.
An eternal calamity!
Each time, it was accompanied by a blessing from Heaven!
even though.
The blessings bestowed by Heaven during these tribulations are not as important as those bestowed by the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele, but it is still possible to obtain some heaven-defying opportunities from them.
Whether or not we can actually get it depends on the circumstances.
"The Ancient Immortal Stele... This disciple will do my utmost!"
Ye Yun's eyes flashed briefly. The reason he ranked seventy-eighth on the Immortal King's Stele this time was ultimately because his aptitude was too poor. Even with the guidance of a half-saint, his foundation was still difficult to match that of other peerless geniuses.
However, having obtained the incomplete innate bloodline this time, his aptitude has undergone a tremendous reversal. When he truly enters the Ancient Immortal Realm, he is confident that he can ascend the Ancient Immortal Stele, or even achieve a higher ranking than the current Immortal King Stele.
The thought fell.
Ye Yun then closed his eyes and began his attempt to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.
next interest.
The terrifying immortal energy surged into his body like a torrent, a difference of more than tenfold compared to when he cultivated before.
this moment.
Ye Yun understood more and more how terrifying innate bloodlines were.
If a fragmented innate bloodline is already like this, how terrifying would a complete innate bloodline be?
-
Less than half a year.
Ji Yang was the first to break through.
however.
Just as the Ancient Immortal Tribulation was being conceived and had not yet fully subsided, a hand appeared in the void outside the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, reaching out and grabbing down directly at Ji Yang.
That terrifying power obliterated a million miles of space, and its immense force even made it difficult for Ji Yang to move.
But the next breath.
A figure in white suddenly appeared, and with a wave of his hand, a blood-red sword light cleaved through the sky, the terrifying power forcefully severing the hand down.
"Pfft!"
Blood spurts.
The severed hand fell into the void.
The sudden turn of events left the other cultivators stunned.
"get out!"
Shen Changqing took a step forward, and terrifying sword energy swept across the heavens and earth. The surrounding void was instantly annihilated, and a disheveled figure fell out of the void. It was none other than the Immortal Emperor who had wanted Ye Yun to join the Lingjiu Immortal Sect.
"I am an elder of the Lingjiu Immortal Sect! Do you intend to become an enemy of my Lingjiu Immortal Sect?!"
The Immortal Emperor was horrified. He never expected Shen Changqing's strength to be so terrifying. In just one exchange, he was severely injured.
Now that the crimson sword energy has driven him to the brink of despair, the other side has no choice but to invoke the name of the Lingjiu Immortal Sect.
however.
Shen Changqing remained indifferent as terrifying immortal energy condensed into a phantom of an immortal sword, which he then slashed down at the elder of the Lingjiu Immortal Sect.
A sword fell!
The Immortal Emperor sheds blood!
Gazing at that terrifying sword strike, the elder of the Lingjiu Immortal Sect turned deathly pale. He had just unleashed his protective treasure, but it exploded violently the next instant, the remaining force splitting his body in two, causing him to perish on the spot.
"boom!"
The cosmic phantom fell down.
When all the cultivators saw this scene, their expressions changed drastically.
"Immortal Emperor Du Chen has fallen!"
"Hiss, this guy has been at the Immortal Emperor level for many years, but I never expected that he couldn't even withstand a single move from his opponent!"
"This person's strength is probably among the top tier even among the peak Immortal Emperors—"
When they looked at Shen Changqing, all their contempt vanished, replaced by shock and deep apprehension.
The ability to kill a late-stage Immortal Emperor in a single move demonstrates a strength that should not be underestimated in the entire Divine Sun Domain.
Again.
The great calamity has not yet arrived.
Immortality is not apparent.
In this era, the Immortal Emperor is undoubtedly the strongest among the top experts.
Even among the six sects, nine dynasties, and thirteen holy lands, there are still some immortals who can travel, but their numbers cannot be too large. Moreover, such immortals need to accumulate resources to cope with the subsequent five signs of decay of heaven and man.
Such powerful individuals will not act rashly unless absolutely necessary.
and so.
When Immortal Emperor Du Chen fell, some powerful figures who wanted to take action were all stunned for a moment.
however.
soon.
Then the surrounding void shattered.
One by one, the Immortal Emperors emerged, their eyes filled with chilling killing intent as they looked at Shen Changqing.
"Hand over this child, and we may spare your life!"
The ancient calamity of immortals has not yet descended, so anything is possible.
If we can suppress Ji Yang and interrupt his breakthrough, then we will have indirectly obtained a third place on the Immortal King Stele.
Given such an opportunity, even if Shen Changqing's strength is strong enough, they still have to take a gamble.
"kill!"
Without wasting words, Shen Changqing took a step forward, his body transforming into a divine rainbow that instantly appeared before the Immortal Emperor who had spoken. A terrifying and domineering power suddenly erupted, causing the latter's expression to change drastically.
Before the opponent could even think, they immediately summoned an ancient cauldron and fiercely suppressed the falling object.
"boom--"
When Shen Changqing's right fist struck the ancient cauldron, the treasure let out a mournful cry, and then, to the astonishment of the Immortal Emperor, countless cracks appeared, before it suddenly shattered.
Looking at Shen Changqing's right hand again, one could see that it was completely undamaged, with Daoist charm and divine light flowing around it.
"impossible!!!"
The Immortal Emperor's face showed great shock.
The ancient cauldron had been refined for billions of years and was already a top-grade Emperor Immortal artifact. However, it was shattered by someone's physical body. Such terrifying physical power horrified him.
however.
Before the Immortal Emperor could make any further move, Shen Changqing had already punched him through the chest, instantly turning his internal organs into dust.
That moment.
The Immortal Emperor was severely injured.
His survival instinct made him disregard everything else, and he immediately retreated, trying to create distance between himself and Shen Changqing, but the latter would not allow him to do so.
With a thought, Shen Changqing conjured a formation plate, and twelve immortal swords descended, instantly forming the Twelve Heavenly Annihilation Immortal Formation.
But in less than a breath, the Twelve Heavenly Annihilation Immortal Array exploded, and almost all twelve immortal swords broke apart.
But it was this one obstacle that caused this Immortal Emperor to completely lose his chance to live.
The moment the Twelve Capitals Heavenly Annihilation Immortal Formation was destroyed, a blood-red river shook the heavens and finally transformed into a world-destroying sword beam that slashed down.
"..."
This celestial emperor opened his mouth as if to beg for mercy, but before he could utter a single word, his body was completely reduced to ashes.
boom!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
From the moment Shen Changqing made his move to the fall of this Immortal Emperor, less than two breaths had passed.
When Shen Changqing's cold gaze turned to other directions, all the Immortal Emperors felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, and a sense of great terror arose from the bottom of their hearts.
If the fall of Immortal Emperor Du Chen was an accident, then the fall of this Immortal Emperor truly revealed Shen Changqing's terrifying strength.
For a while.
These immortal emperors, who were all vying for the opportunity, looked at each other in bewilderment and dared not make a move for a moment.
