Chapter 3706 Be Prepared to Sacrifice an Eighth Tribulation Half-Saint
"This matter is simple; one only needs to comprehend the Great Sage's Daoist principles within it!"
Faced with the question from Venerable Jiuyue, Shen Changqing did not hide anything.
During this time, he comprehended the Daoist power of the Great Sage's Tomb, and gradually developed a sense of harmony with the entire Tomb Secret Realm.
Such a perfect match.
It wasn't enough for Shen Changqing to use the power of the Great Dao rules within the Great Sage's Tomb, but it was enough to trigger the suppression of such Great Dao rules on him.
That's why.
The reason he was able to directly use power above the Ancient Immortal Realm within the rules of the Longevity Immortal Mine.
to be frank.
Prior to this.
Shen Changqing had not thought about this matter either.
Originally, he only wanted to use his understanding of the Great Sage's Dao to perfect his own Dao and prepare for breaking through to the Half-Saint realm in the future.
Unexpectedly.
This action allowed him to activate the power of the Great Sage's Tomb's rules, giving him some advantages.
of course.
Even without the power to activate the rules, the 500,000 ancient immortals from the five sects posed no threat to him.
The significance of having one foot in the semi-saint realm is no joke.
Even if the Great Sage Daoist Rhyme within the Immortal Mine forms its own set of rules, capable of suppressing a cultivator's strength to the greatest extent, it cannot fundamentally erase a cultivator's own power.
After all.
The power of the rules in the Immortal Mine can only suppress, not erase.
Physical tempering is a manifestation of great power returning to oneself; even if suppressed, the results of years of cultivation will not disappear.
Simply put
Even if a Primordial Emperor Weapon is suppressed and unable to unleash its full power, it cannot be made as fragile as an Ancient Immortal Artifact.
The physical body of a cultivator.
It's the same principle.
The Venerable Jiuyue sighed, “The Daoist essence of the Great Sage is omnipresent in this secret realm. Many half-saints have entered this secret realm, and some half-saints have even attempted to comprehend the power of the Daoist essence of the Great Sage here.”
Unfortunately, it was ultimately difficult to achieve much.
"For someone like you, fellow Daoist, to directly manipulate the rules of the entire secret realm with the power of a Great Sage's Dao that you've comprehended is truly unparalleled."
As a semi-saint who once attempted to comprehend the Daoist principles of this place, Venerable Jiuyue naturally understood just how difficult it was to truly comprehend the Daoist principles within.
Having cultivation level alone is not enough; comprehension is also indispensable.
Then.
Venerable Jiuyue glanced in the direction of the Longevity Immortal Mine and laughed again, "Fellow Daoist Shen has killed 500,000 ancient immortals this time. It seems that the mining of the Longevity Immortal Mine will have to be postponed again."
"The five major powers have strong foundations. Although they lost 500,000 ancient immortals, it should not be a matter of serious injury."
If they hadn't deliberately provoked me, I wouldn't have bothered with them at all!
Shen Changqing shook his head, paused for a moment, and then spoke.
"I will continue to study the Great Sage's Dao here. If there are any other matters, Fellow Daoist Jiuyue can send a message at any time."
"no problem!"
……
News of the battle at the Great Sage's Tomb spread like wildfire.
Although all 500,000 ancient immortals of the five major forces perished, the Xuanji Immortal Sect suffered little loss.
With so many cultivators from the Xuanji Immortal Sect witnessing it firsthand, such news was destined to be impossible to conceal, even if one wanted to.
but.
Upon hearing the news of the fall of 500,000 ancient immortals, the cultivators of the Chaotic Sky Sea were not particularly shocked.
After all, compared to Shen Changqing's past achievements, 500,000 ancient immortals are naturally not worth mentioning.
However, this incident also caused all major forces to lose face once again.
In particular, the semi-saints of various forces had to hand over top-grade immortal stones to save their lives, and their dignity was completely humiliated.
The news spread.
All five major powers were furious.
Inside the Void Sword Sect, Li Chenyuan's face was ashen, and the entire grand immortal hall was filled with a chilling killing intent.
"What a scoundrel surnamed Shen! How dare he humiliate our clan like this! This matter must not be left unresolved!"
At this point, he looked at the many sect elders in front of him, his voice filled with suppressed anger.
"Has this person's identification number not been found yet?"
"Not yet... However, news has spread in the Chaotic Sky Sea that this person is very likely from the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm."
However, the specifics remain to be discussed!
"Investigate, investigate at all costs. I must find out who this person is. Our ancestor has fallen, and our sect has been humiliated several times. We must settle this score."
Otherwise, how can our sect ever hold its head high in the chaotic Void Sea!
Li Chenyuan said angrily.
Even with his strong character, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
Once or twice!
The entire Void Sword Sect's reputation was trampled underfoot by the other party. As the sect leader, how could Li Chenyuan tolerate such a thing?
If it weren't for the existence of the Soul-Destroying Sword, Li Chenyuan would have already taken action himself to completely suppress the opponent.
But now—
No matter how angry Li Chenyuan was, he had to admit that relying solely on the Void Sword Sect was not enough to do anything to Shen Changqing.
To deal with this person, we must at least find out who he is from before we can proceed with our plan.
at this time.
Xiao Yangzi said in a deep voice: "It is not only our sect that is being humiliated now, but also the Poison King Holy Land, the Li Huo Dao Sect and other forces."
Since that's the case, why don't we unite the five major forces to besiege and eliminate this person?
In the end, he was just a Celestial Emperor, who had only been able to be arrogant to this day because he relied on the power of a supreme treasure.
If our five major forces join forces, dealing with this person will be a piece of cake.
As for the Xuanji Immortal Sect… this person has no connection to them whatsoever. Unless Luo Tian is foolish, he would never risk the entire Xuanji Immortal Sect's resources to wage war against us for this person!”
These words elicited various expressions from the crowd.
Li Chenyuan glanced at the other party expressionlessly and said calmly, "The power of that treasure is beyond the reach of a half-saint. Elder Xiao's words are indeed feasible, but the premise is that someone is willing to become a sacrifice in this battle."
The news from the Great Sage's Secret Realm shows that even a small amount of that treasure's power is enough to severely injure a Tribulation Half-Saint.
Even if the latter possesses a defensive innate imperial weapon, it will be of no use.
If it were activated at full power, the Ancestor and the Medicine King would meet their end.
"In the battle for the Chaos Embryo, we could already see a lot. This person's strength was not enough to activate the treasure multiple times, but just once was enough to take away a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint."
In other words, if we do not have the means to resist that supreme treasure, we must be prepared to sacrifice at least one Eighth Tribulation Half-Saint if we want to besiege it.
Elder Xiao wondered, was the sacrificed Eight Tribulation Half-Saint the original body, or Su Gu and the others?
These words were spoken.
Xiao Yangzi was speechless.
"certainly--"
Li Chenyuan suddenly changed the subject and said something else.
"If you don't want to use the life of an Eighth Tribulation Half-Saint to fill the gap, then an ordinary Half-Saint can also achieve this."
After all, that person was merely an Immortal Emperor; if not for the power of a supreme treasure, he would be utterly insignificant.
"We only need to sacrifice an ordinary demigod to force him to use his supreme treasure, then we can strike and capture him in one fell swoop. This is certainly feasible!"
"But as I said before, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves to become a stepping stone to eliminate this person!"
These words were so blunt that Xiao Yangzi's face turned pale and then red, but he had to admit that it was the truth.
Figure this out.
Xiao Yangzi took a deep breath and smiled wryly, "I misunderstood this matter. I hope the sect leader will not take offense!"
"This matter is not Elder Xiao's fault. This kid has gone too far. However, if we don't find out his background and strength, it won't be easy to deal with him."
However, this young man also understands that relying on the power of the supreme treasure can make our sect wary, but he would never dare to completely break ties with us and fight.
Otherwise, Elder Xuan Shuang might not have returned alive from the Great Sage's Secret Realm incident!
Li Chenyuan's expression softened considerably; he could glean much from the matter of the Great Sage's Secret Realm.
The two sides are currently in a state of equilibrium.
Shen Changqing dared not truly break ties with forces like the Void Sword Sect, and the Void Sword Sect felt the same way.
Although there were frictions between the two sides, and even karmic grudges, the thin film between them was never truly torn apart.
Do it.
Ultimately, no one is certain that they can completely suppress the other side.
If the Void Sword Sect were to unleash its full power, Li Chenyuan believed that they would have at least a 60% chance of suppressing Shen Changqing. However, the price they would have to pay would be too high, definitely beyond what he could bear.
I won't say more.
With such supreme power, the Void Sword Sect would have to lose at least one or two half-saints.
To know.
Since Li Huaizhen's death.
The vast Void Sword Sect only has three half-saints.
The loss of any half-saint would be a devastating blow to a sect.
If it is truly the worst-case scenario, with all three half-saints perishing, then even if they manage to kill Shen Changqing, the Void Sword Sect's lineage, which has been passed down for countless years, will be completely severed.
and so.
Li Chenyuan dared not gamble.
He dared not gamble until he had a true counter to that supreme treasure capable of killing a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.
Whether it's risking their own lives or the future of the Void Sword Sect, it's all the same.
If this battle were to break out, the Void Sword Sect would almost certainly end up with both sides suffering heavy losses.
Even when he joined forces with other forces, Li Chenyuan did not dare to act rashly.
after all.
If Shen Changqing is truly driven to a dead end, he will inevitably drag several half-saints down with him.
Li Chenyuan couldn't guarantee that he and the Void Sword Sect wouldn't become casualties of the other side's demise.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the best course of action is to avoid a complete breakdown in relations for now.
Having led the sect for many years, how could Li Chenyuan not know the meaning of being able to bend and stretch?
Even if he is filled with anger, he should deal with it rationally.
The other elders of the sect also suppressed their thoughts upon hearing this.
Then.
An elder then asked, "So, what should we do about the Longevity Immortal Mine?"
"Everything will proceed as usual. We will search for 100,000 ancient immortals to enter the Great Sage Secret Realm and mine the immortal ore of immortality."
This immortal mine is the burial place of the Great Sage of Crossing Calamity. If we can obtain enough cultivation resources from this immortal mine, our sect's strength will have a chance to advance further.
As for other things, we don't need to worry about them for now.
Furthermore, as I said before, do everything in your power to find out this person's background, and report any information to me immediately!
Li Chenyuan said.
