Chapter 3931 Beware

With the last of the evil beasts perished.

The battle has finally come to an end.

In the Realm of Tribulation, the earth was stained with blood, and the rivers had all turned into rivers of blood. Countless corpses, most of them belonging to evil beasts, and only a few belonging to the Xuanji Immortal Sect.

however.

Rao is so.

The Xuanji Immortal Sect also suffered significant losses.

After taking stock, Venerable Luo Tian found that of the more than three million cultivators of the Xuanji Immortal Sect, less than five hundred thousand remained; the rest had all died in battle.

Such a loss silenced even the semi-saints, including Venerable Luo Tian.

Even if they anticipated that the losses in this battle would be substantial, the actual extent of those losses would still exceed their expectations.

Those who participated in this battle were all elites of the Xuanji Immortal Sect.

Precisely.

Most of the disciples of the Xuanji Immortal Sect are now elites.

If they weren't elite and didn't have enough strength, how could they have fought their way out of the chaotic Sky Sea?

At present, the Xuanji Immortal Sect has at most five million disciples. In this battle, more than two million have died, and the entire sect has lost more than half of its disciples. The loss is considerable.

Venerable Jiuyue took a deep breath and looked towards the direction of the Great Sage's Secret Realm.

"Although we suffered heavy losses in this battle, we have at least regained control of the Crossing Calamity Realm and the Longevity Immortal Mine. Given time, it will not be a problem for the sect to recover its vitality."

"I hope so!"

Venerable Qingyao shook her head slightly, her usually cold face now showing a hint of complexity.

……

Then.

Luo Tian Venerable then ordered his men to clean up the battlefield and do his best to heal his seriously injured disciples. At the same time, he led the remaining group of cultivators, along with the half-saints from Taiyi Holy Land and other places, to officially enter the Great Saint Secret Realm.

however--

The moment they stepped into the Great Sage's Secret Realm, all the cultivators fell silent.

They stared at the horrific scene before them, their breath catching in their throats.

Corpses piled up like a forest!

Flesh and blood turned to mush!

The intense smell of blood was enough to make one nauseous.

If the battles outside the Crossing Tribulation Realm were fierce, then those in the Great Sage Secret Realm were no less so.

Do not--

It could even be three times worse.

When they looked at the blood-red figure, the latter also turned his gaze towards them. Many cultivators who met his gaze felt a terrifying killing intent rushing towards them.

But in the next instant, this killing intent vanished abruptly.

Venerable Jinque said, "I never expected that young friend Shen would slay all the evil beasts in the entire Great Sage Secret Realm all by himself. I admire you!"

After saying this, when he looked at Shen Changqing again, his eyes became even more serious.

Although Shen Changqing achieved physical sainthood, under the suppression of the Great Saint's rules, no other beast of the same realm could rival him.

However, it is important to understand that the rules of the Great Sage do not cover the entire secret realm, and those evil kings hiding in the shadows are not mindless evil beasts.

The fact that the opponent was able to single-handedly annihilate the entire secret realm of evil beasts and suppress the hidden evil king speaks volumes about their abilities.

Even if it were him, Venerable Jinque wouldn't be confident of taking this step.

the other side.

With a slight thought, Shen Changqing summoned the immortal energy of heaven and earth, which washed away all the blood on his body, and all the filth vanished at that moment.

Upon hearing what Venerable Jinque said, he simply smiled and said, "This battle is merely taking advantage of the Great Sage's rules. Otherwise, how easy would it be to suppress the evil beasts in this secret realm?"

Speaking of which...

Shen Changqing abruptly changed the subject.

"The calamity in the Crossing Calamity Realm has now been resolved, and the Immortal Mine of Longevity is located here. But what are your thoughts on the subsequent mining of this immortal mine?"

The Tribulation Realm has been captured!

The remaining issue, naturally, is the mining of the immortal ore.

These immortal mines are suppressed by the rules of the Great Sage, and to mine them efficiently, a sufficient number of mining slaves are required.

however.

The three factions now share the Longevity Immortal Mine.

How to allocate resources is also a problem.

After pondering for a while, Venerable Luo Tian said, "At present, many cultivators of our Xuanji Immortal Sect have been lost, but we still control several worlds and have some mining slaves."

The problem now is that a longevity mine of this level is not something that ordinary cultivators can touch.

In this respect, one must at least possess the strength of a Celestial King.

"Alright then, my Xuanji Immortal Sect can produce 300,000 Immortal Kings and 60,000 Ancient Immortals; this is the limit we can currently mobilize!"

As soon as the other person finished speaking, Venerable Jinque also spoke.

"The Taiyi Holy Land doesn't have many cultivators available either. Let's send 300,000 Immortal Kings and 60,000 Ancient Immortals!"

Both forces joined together.

That is, 600,000 Immortal Kings and 120,000 Ancient Immortals!

The number of these cultivators is several times greater than before.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Let's not even talk about the Xuanji Immortal Sect.

It suffered a severe blow.

The battle in the Tribulation Realm was particularly devastating. In Shen Changqing's opinion, the fact that they were able to bring out 300,000 Immortal Kings and 60,000 Ancient Immortals was a bit of an exaggeration to say that they had brought in their full strength, but it was close to their limit.

As for the Taiyi Holy Land...

Logically speaking, with the resources of such an unparalleled power, let alone 60,000 Ancient Immortals, even 600,000 Ancient Immortals would be easily within their grasp.

But there is a problem with this.

That is the news of the Immortal Mine of Immortality, which must not be leaked.

Otherwise, other powerful figures from the Taiyi Holy Land might also want a share of the spoils.

In this way...

The power that Venerable Jinque can wield is limited.

In the end, both sides turned their attention to Shen Changqing, who said calmly, "The Xuantian Dao Sect has a shallow foundation and not many ancient immortals."

However… this humble Taoist can make the decision: the Xuantian Dao Sect will provide 600,000 Immortal Kings!

"Can!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Luo Tian and Venerable Jin Que both nodded.

They were also aware of the true nature of the Xuantian Dao Sect.

Tens of millions of years ago, these sects were just ordinary Immortal Emperor sects.

To be precise.

They should be at the bottom of all the Immortal Emperor sects.

Apart from the founder of the sect who was an Immortal Emperor, no other cultivator has ever reached the Immortal Emperor realm.

It wasn't until later, when Shen Changqing emerged and took charge of the Xuantian Dao Sect, that the sect's strength increased dramatically.

however.

Rao is so.

The foundation of the Xuantian Dao Sect is destined not to be very strong.

The fact that the other party is willing to offer 600,000 Immortal Kings is quite good.

"With 1.2 million Immortal Kings and 120,000 Ancient Immortals, the mining progress is a bit slow, but it can be done steadily and continuously."

However, although the calamity in the Crossing Calamity Realm has been quelled, the calamity in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm has not disappeared.

The demon beast race could return at any time.

"in addition--"

Venerable Luo Tian paused for a moment, then continued.

"If the Lingxi Sword Sect and the Void Sword Sect had known about this, they probably wouldn't have let it go so easily."

Therefore, I believe that each of us should leave behind a semi-saint level warrior to guard the Crossing Tribulation Realm, just in case!

The Crossing Calamity Realm was originally governed by the six major sects, but that is a thing of the past.

From the moment the Crossing Calamity Realm fell, this Immortal Mine of Longevity had no connection with the six major sects of the Chaotic Sky Sea.

Now that he has reclaimed the Immortal Mine of Longevity, Venerable Luo Tian naturally has to be wary of other forces.

no way.

The profits from an immortal mine are too great.

If the news were to leak out, how could the two major sects accept it?

Venerable Jinque said calmly, "Don't worry about this. If the Lingxi Sword Sect and the Void Sword Sect know what's good for them, they will naturally not make any moves at this time."

If they are truly unwilling to give up and dare to covet the Immortal Mine of Longevity, then our Taiyi Holy Land is not a pushover to be easily manipulated.

At that time, I will have a good talk with them!

"With Fellow Daoist Jinque's words, we can rest assured!"

Seeing that Venerable Jinque had spoken, Venerable Luotian was relieved.

If this person is willing to step forward, then the reputation of the Taiyi Holy Land is enough to make the two major sects wary.

The Immortal Mine of Longevity is desirable, but if it offends the Taiyi Holy Land, then it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

The latter's strength is beyond their ability to contend with.

If the Taiyi Holy Land is truly angered, it wouldn't be difficult for them to destroy the two major sects.

Shen Changqing said, "Elder Chang Geng of my sect will continue to stand guard over the Crossing Calamity Realm on behalf of the Xuantian Dao Sect."

"My fellow Daoist Jiuyue can sit and oversee the Crossing Calamity Realm!"

“Fellow Daoist Yinchen, I’ll leave the affairs of the Tribulation Crossing Realm to you.”

Seeing that both the Xuantian Dao Sect and the Xuanji Immortal Sect had sent out a half-saint to oversee things, Venerable Jinque pondered for a moment and then looked at Venerable Yinchen beside him.

The latter smiled calmly and said, "Of course!"

In this way...

The appointment of three semi-saints has been finalized.

Upon seeing this, the higher-ups of the Xuanji Immortal Sect all breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only three semi-saints currently overseeing the Tribulation Realm, which is fewer than before.

But a single Venerable Yinchen is enough to be worth several half-saints.

Such beings possess cultivation reaching the eighth tribulation level, and their strength is far beyond that of ordinary half-saints.

With the other side in charge, there should be no chance of failure.

Followed by.

Both the Xuanji Immortal Sect and the Taiyi Holy Land sent their respective cultivators back to mobilize troops and mine the Longevity Immortal Mine. Naturally, they needed to make arrangements as soon as possible.

However, before leaving, many cultivators each sent their own cultivators into the Longevity Immortal Mine to check on its current condition.

With the invasion of the evil beasts and the control of numerous evil kings over the Longevity Immortal Mine, they naturally wanted to find out what was happening inside the mine.

However, both the Xuanji Immortal Sect and the Taiyi Holy Land tacitly agreed to allow only a small number of cultivators to enter, rather than having all the cultivators rush into the Longevity Immortal Mine at once.

The purpose behind such caution was tacitly understood by both sides.

In this regard.

Shen Changqing also remained calm.

He saw it as normal for the two major powers to be wary of him.

If the other two major sects had a physical saint who had achieved sainthood, and the person in question was just an ordinary half-saint, they would not have rashly stepped into the Longevity Immortal Mine.

After all, the suppression of such a Great Sage rule is enough to weaken the strength of a Half-Saint to the extreme.

If the other party suddenly launches an attack, you could be doomed if you are not careful.

Although the two sides are allies, one should always be wary of others, and no one would rashly entrust their life to another.

We still need to be prepared.

This also indirectly illustrates just how much of a threat Shen Changqing's physical ascension to sainthood poses to other half-saints under the suppression of such Great Saint rules.

Even a ninth-tribulation half-saint like Venerable Jinque dared not be careless in the slightest. (End of this chapter)
