Chapter 3289 The Great Terror Deep Within the Immortal Mine (First Chapter 1, Second Chapter 2)

Tianxing Domain.

They departed from the Northern Star Region.

Shen Changqing returned to this immortal realm.

Upon returning to the Celestial Star Domain, he immediately ordered the entire Celestial Demon Holy Land not to interfere in the affairs of other Immortal Domains.

The appearance of Venerable Jueming and the establishment of the Holy Land of Bright Light both indicate that the great calamity to come may escalate further.

An ancient, semi-saintly being was born.

It also established the Holy Land of Bright Light.

its purpose.

It's far more than just the so-called concern for the common people.

then.

Shen Changqing personally went to the Tai Luo Xian Mine again.

The cultivator currently in charge of guarding the Tai Luo Immortal Mine is still Ning Gui.

the difference is.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed.

This person's cultivation has already advanced further, breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Queen level.

"Greetings to the Holy Lord!"

"Hmm, how is the Tai Luo Immortal Mine doing these days?"

Shen Changqing nodded, but his attention remained fixed on the immortal mine in front of him.

Ning Gui respectfully said, "Since the Holy Land dispatched a large number of Immortal Kings and Ancient Immortals, the mining speed of the Tai Luo Immortal Mine has increased significantly."

Not only are high-grade immortal stones being produced in abundance, but the quantity of Tai Luo immortal stones has also increased significantly. A batch of Tai Luo immortal stones was already sent to the Holy Land last time, and currently, there are approximately ten thousand jin of Tai Luo immortal stones remaining in stock here!

Hear the words.

Shen Changqing nodded.

The entire stockpile of Tai Luo Immortal Mine is sent to the Holy Land every so often.

This time.

A period of about a century is roughly considered a stage.

But that's the case.

The fact that 10,000 jin of Tai Luo Immortal Stone could still be found here in such a short time shows how much the mining speed has increased in recent years.

Normally.

If one's talent is strong enough to be a half-step Immortal Emperor, having one or two thousand catties of Tai Luo Immortal Stones would be enough to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Even with bad luck, having three to five thousand catties of Tai Luo Immortal Stones is more than enough for a breakthrough.

As for those with less natural talent, the amount of Tai Luo Immortal Stones required for a breakthrough would be at least ten thousand catties, with no upper limit.

after all.

Breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm is no easy feat.

Even though the Tai Luo Immortal Stone is mysterious, it is not easy to force a breakthrough if one's talent is insufficient.

For someone at Shen Changqing's level, the Tai Luo Immortal Stone is naturally of little use.

only--

He himself doesn't need the Tai Luo Immortal Stone, but that doesn't mean others don't.

Not to mention the geniuses of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, even on the Xuan Tian Dao Sect's side, if Qin Haominghe and other direct disciples had the help of the Tai Luo Immortal Stone, their subsequent breakthroughs to the Immortal Emperor Realm would be much easier.

not only that.

The numerous acquired demon gods on the Xingdao Alliance side, as well as the Heavenly Alliance, all require a large amount of Tai Luo Immortal Stones.

Again.

For most cultivators, breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm is not an easy task.

of course.

For those with the bloodline of an acquired demon god, breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm shouldn't be too difficult.

However, if one could have the aid of the Tai Luo Immortal Stone to cultivate, it would become much easier.

therefore.

For such a treasure.

In Shen Changqing's view, the more the better.

As for selling the Tai Luo Immortal Stones to the public, he doesn't have that idea for the time being.

After all, the function of the Tai Luo Immortal Stone cannot be revealed yet.

If the Tai Luo Immortal Mine is only rich in high-grade immortal stones, then with the current strength of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, it is not impossible for them to defend the Tai Luo Immortal Mine.

But if the secret of the Tai Luo Immortal Stone is leaked, things will be different.

Such treasures, capable of enabling ancient immortals to attain the Dao and become Immortal Emperors, are enough to drive any force mad.

Even the top powers might not ignore the existence of the Tai Luo Immortal Stone.

In this era, truly active immortals are ultimately a very small minority; Immortal Emperors are the true mainstream high-end combat force.

The strength of any force depends on the number of its Immortal Emperors.

Moreover.

longevity.

It also originated from the Immortal Emperor's attainment of enlightenment.

Some cultivators accumulate knowledge and skills gradually, remaining unassuming in the Ancient Immortal Realm, but once they break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, their cultivation progress can be rapid.

Although, this probability is extremely low.

But no matter what, only if there are enough Immortal Emperors can a new Half-Saint emerge.

therefore.

The secret of the Tai Luo Immortal Stone must not be revealed.

For example, in the immortal mines today, many cultivators have mined Tai Luo Immortal Stones, but they are unaware of the true function of these immortal stones.

After collecting the Tai Luo Immortal Stones, Shen Changqing entered the mine.

I visited the Tailuoxian Mine once again.

The feeling this place gives is completely different.

We walked deep into the mine.

Looking at the immortal vein stone wall in front of him, Shen Changqing could clearly sense, with his now terrifyingly powerful divine sense, that deep within this immortal mine, there was a terrifying aura.

Such an aura.

Even with Shen Changqing's cultivation level, he felt an instinctive tremor.

It was as if some great terror was contained within it.

"As expected, the aura behind the Tai Luo Immortal Mine is the fundamental reason why this immortal mine can produce immortal stones continuously!"

Under Shen Changqing's divine sense, the entire Tai Luo Immortal Mine seemed to be alive. The stone walls inside the mine were slowly regenerating. If no action was taken, the mine would completely disappear in a few years.

This is why.

All these years.

The fundamental reason why the Heavenly Demon Holy Land has been mining the Tai Luo Immortal Mine with all its might, yet this particular mine has never grown very large.

It's not just because the walls of the immortal mine are difficult to destroy, but also because the entire immortal mine is slowly repairing the damage caused by the cultivators.

Whenever a monk opens up a larger mine, new stone walls slowly emerge to fill the gaps.

One to two to go.

Expanding a mine is no easy task.

It was only because Shen Changqing had directly invested a large number of Immortal Kings and Ancient Immortals over the years that the mining speed had increased significantly, allowing the mine to expand somewhat.

However, such expansion ultimately has its limits.

Once a certain point is reached, the pace of mining and mine restoration will be consistent, leading to a delicate balance.

at this time.

Behind Shen Changqing, Ning Gui respectfully said, "Now, the mining speed of the 110,000 miners in the Tai Luo Immortal Mine has increased significantly, and the mine shafts are gradually expanding."

However, in my opinion, such expansion may come to a complete standstill after another ten thousand years.

Even if more cultivators are added later, it will be difficult to continue to maintain this situation.

"Unless all those Immortal King mine slaves can be replaced with Ancient Immortal Realm or Immortal Emperor Realm cultivators, there is no hope of opening up larger mines..."

Speaking of it.

Ning Gui seemed to find his own statement somewhat ridiculous.

Immortal Emperor Miner!

Even the most powerful forces would not be so extravagant.

After all, any Immortal Emperor is extremely precious.

Moreover.

Hundreds of thousands of Celestial Emperors.

Such an astonishing quantity is something that even the Divine Sun Domain, as the number one immortal domain, might not be able to produce even if it exhausted all its resources.

If it were an ancient immortal, there would be some possibility, but in reality, it would not be easy.

Tens of thousands of ancient immortals.

Even for the Celestial Star Domain, this is very difficult to achieve.

Although high-level immortal realms can have immortal emperors in charge, ancient immortals are still the backbone of the fighting force. Some powerful ancient immortals are qualified to establish sects in the Tianxing Domain and become the masters of a power.

"Let's put the matter of sending more mining slaves on hold for now. Right now, our priority is to focus on mining the Tai Luo Immortal Mine!"

Shen Changqing said calmly.

He could sense the terror deep within the Tai Luo Immortal Mine, and at the same time, he became increasingly convinced that this immortal mine was not truly inexhaustible.

Given enough time to exhaust the power of the unknown entity deep within the Immortal Mine, the Immortal Mine will naturally dry up.

Mining immortal mines like this is a way of indirectly weakening the opponent's strength.

In Shen Changqing's view, weakening the strength of the creature deep within the Tai Luo Immortal Mine, without knowing exactly what it is, is not a bad thing.

Take a step back.

Even if the Tai Luo Immortal Mine doesn't produce immortal stones and is instead full of useless things, Shen Changqing will still send people to continuously mine it.

As for the purpose...

Again.

If we can weaken the threat posed by these unknown entities, that will be enough.

After all, Shen Changqing dared not be careless at all because of such a being that could make him feel threatened just by its aura.

The existence of the Tai Luo Immortal Mine in the Tianxing Domain is equivalent to a hidden danger that could erupt at any time.

To eliminate these hidden dangers.

Shen Changqing cannot do it for the time being.

Then we can only weaken their strength first.

As for other matters, and the true identity and origin of this terrifying entity, they will naturally be revealed when the Tai Luo Immortal Mine is truly declared depleted.

……

Shen Changqing left the Tai Luo Xian Mine after a short stay.

but.

before leaving.

He also gave Ning Gui some pointers and bestowed some cultivation resources upon him.

Originally, the Tai Luo Immortal Mine was managed by six ancient immortal deacons, but after several great calamities, the remaining five ancient immortals had already perished, and the only surviving deacon in the entire Tai Luo Immortal Mine was Ning Gui.

Shen Changqing had seen that the other party had done his best for the Heavenly Demon Holy Land over the years.

Therefore, he didn't mind bestowing some cultivation resources upon them.

Such cultivation resources were insignificant to Shen Changqing, but to Ning Gui they were like a priceless treasure, causing the Tai Luo Immortal Mine steward to be moved to tears, almost to the point of kneeling down and bowing in worship.

After returning to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, Shen Changqing took a look at his current situation.

"The Immortal Emperor still has a little over a thousand units of essence left, enough to give birth to ten innate demon gods!"

Having experienced Qing Tian's betrayal, Shen Changqing was not entirely at ease with the demon god that had been born.

After all, if one were to encounter an existence like the Dark Lord, it would still be possible to break through the restraints of the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

But it is undeniable.

Even without such intervention, the demon god nurtured by the Seven Mysterious Divine Tower is still trustworthy.

"The Tai Luo Immortal Mine is currently only overseen by Ning Gui, which is somewhat lacking. Such an immortal mine cannot be lost. Furthermore, the great terror within the immortal mine must also be suppressed with sufficient power."

If a primordial demon god could be present, it would provide an extra layer of protection!

Once Shen Changqing thought of this, he had already made a decision in his heart.
