Chapter 3689 The Restriction of the Ancient Sages
"When will the competition for a share of the Longevity Immortal Mine begin?"
Shen Changqing asked.
Upon hearing these words, Venerable Qingyao's pretty face beamed with an even brighter smile.
"Thirty thousand years later!"
"Can!"
Shen Changqing nodded.
Regardless of the circumstances, I owe the Xuanji Immortal Sect a favor, and this time I'm repaying that favor.
Furthermore...
He was also very tempted by this level of immortal ore.
Putting aside other aspects, the mere fact that it might contain top-grade immortal stones makes it hard to resist.
At Shen Changqing's level, high-grade immortal stones are no longer of much significance.
The cultivation resources that can be traded with this level of immortal stones are limited, and most of them are for Immortal Emperor level cultivators. Cultivation resources for Half-Saint level cultivators are mostly not available for trading with high-grade immortal stones.
The reason is that the best immortal stone contains innate immortal energy that even the best immortal stone lacks, and it also possesses supreme Daoist charm. Even a half-saint can greatly benefit from comprehending the Daoist charm of such an immortal stone.
Just this one point.
It's something that even the finest immortal stones can't compare to.
Just like an ordinary Immortal Emperor, who wouldn't even bother with low-grade or mid-grade Immortal Stones.
The reason is that the effect of that level of immortal stones on the cultivation of immortal emperors is far too low.
However, since the production of high-grade immortal stones is not small, there are channels for exchanging them for lower grades.
However, once you reach the highest grade of immortal stones, exchanging them for lower grades becomes almost impossible.
These immortal stones are extremely rare, and any cultivator who obtains them would never trade them for so-called high-grade immortal stones.
Only some equally precious and rare natural treasures can possibly require the use of top-grade immortal stones.
For many years.
Shen Changqing sent many innate demon gods deep into the chaos to explore in order to find top-grade immortal mines.
But a pity.
So many years have passed, and there has been no news of top-grade immortal mines.
Until now.
Only after Venerable Qingyao spoke did Shen Changqing learn about the top-grade immortal mine.
Although that immortal mine wasn't exactly a top-grade immortal mine in the true sense.
Regardless of the circumstances, such celestial mines are capable of nurturing top-grade celestial stones.
For this reason alone, Shen Changqing had no reason to refuse.
As for what Venerable Qingyao said about receiving 70% of the share, he considered it normal.
After all, such immortal mines are controlled by many forces, including the Chaotic Void Sea, and it is absolutely impossible for outside cultivators to get their hands on them.
To put it bluntly...
If the Xuanji Immortal Sect offers no benefit whatsoever, why would they go to such lengths to find other half-saints to assist them?
and so.
Xuanji Immortal Sect only needs 30%, which is already quite reasonable.
Normally, even 50% is acceptable.
Of course, Shen Changqing wouldn't say these things aloud; no one would mind having too many resources.
Things like top-grade immortal stones will be necessary for one's future breakthrough to the semi-saint realm.
At times like this.
The more the better.
Seeing that Shen Changqing had agreed, Venerable Qingyao smiled and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Shen is willing to help, then Xuanji Immortal Sect only needs to find one more half-saint."
"I wonder what your requirements are for the strength of a half-saint?"
"As for strength, the stronger the better!"
"If one possessed the power of a Second Tribulation Half-Saint, what would you say, fellow Daoist?"
"A second-stage Half-Saint...that's about it!"
Venerable Qingyao nodded slightly, then looked at Shen Changqing and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist know any Half-Saints?"
"I know a half-saint. Although he is only at the first tribulation level, his strength is enough to rival that of a second tribulation half-saint. If you need him, I can send a message to have him come!"
The person Shen Changqing was referring to was naturally the Chang Geng Demon God.
Having one more half-saint means having an extra share, which is naturally a good thing.
Venerable Qingyao said, "If you have any recommendations, that would be best."
However, if other semi-saints intervene and win a share, the Xuanji Immortal Sect will demand 50% of it!
The meaning of this statement is quite clear: Xuanji Immortal Sect only takes 30% because of Shen Changqing; any other half-saint would have taken at least 50%.
"no problem!"
Shen Changqing naturally had no objection to this.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Venerable Qingyao felt much more at ease.
"Alright, since you know a half-saint, then the five half-saints of the Xuanji Immortal Sect are now complete."
Thirty thousand years later, when the share of the Longevity Immortal Mine is determined, our sect will also have the hope of obtaining sufficient cultivation resources.
For the foreseeable future, you may choose to cultivate within the Xuanji Immortal Sect, or you may wish to leave the sect to familiarize yourself with the Chaotic Void Sea.
However, for the past hundred years, many cultivators have been searching for your whereabouts. If you appear in the Chaotic Void Sea, it will probably cause some trouble.
But with your strength, fellow Daoist, this kind of trouble shouldn't be a problem.
Finally, Venerable Qingyao offered a pointed reminder.
Such a treasure, capable of slaying a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint, is naturally tempting. It would be impossible for other cultivators to have no reaction to it at all.
but.
Venerable Qingyao had enough confidence in Shen Changqing.
In her opinion.
This person's strength cannot be measured by common sense.
Although he was an Immortal Emperor, his strength was such that even I was no match for him.
If we use our trump cards, we can kill even a ninth-level half-saint.
Despite the current uproar in the Chaotic Sky Sea, with many cultivators vainly attempting to seize the treasure, these cultivators have simply never truly witnessed the abilities of this Profound Heaven Sword Master.
If they were to truly enrage Shen Changqing, they could terrify those cultivators.
Don't you see?
Many demigods initially besieged them, but in the end, they were all wiped out.
Many semi-saints fled in panic, not daring to show their faces.
Shen Changqing nodded: "Xuanji Immortal Sect can be considered a holy land for cultivation. Being able to cultivate here is already a great opportunity. As for the Chaotic Void Sea, we can talk about it later when we have time."
"Yes, if you need anything in the future, please feel free to send a message."
Furthermore, the Xuanji Immortal Sect has left behind many Daoist teachings passed down through generations of semi-saints. If you, fellow Daoist, are interested, you may also go and study them!
Venerable Qingyao intended to curry favor with Shen Changqing in order to deepen their relationship.
The previous battle.
This made her even more certain that the person in front of her was no ordinary person.
Half-saint!
For this person, it's probably just a process.
As long as Shen Changqing doesn't unexpectedly perish, breaking through to the Saint Realm is absolutely a certainty.
Being able to befriend such future sages in advance is by no means a bad thing for the Xuanji Immortal Sect.
Sacrificing a small portion of the semi-saint lineage was insignificant in Venerable Qingyao's eyes.
For most forces, the inheritance of a semi-saint is precious, considered the foundation of their sect, and should not be easily revealed.
But the Xuanji Immortal Sect is different.
Although these powers are only inherited from ancient times, there has been more than one saint in each generation.
There are quite a few beings at the semi-saint level.
While this level of inheritance is important to the Xuanji Immortal Sect, it is not indispensable.
Moreover.
Letting the other party figure it out wouldn't cause much loss to the Xuanji Immortal Sect.
Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing's expression shifted slightly: "If I could witness the path to immortality of your clan's ancestors, that would be the best!"
Given the rare opportunity to comprehend the Dao of Immortality, how could Shen Changqing refuse?
Although he was quite confident in his ability to break through to the semi-saint realm.
However, if one can comprehend more of the principles of immortality, the benefits to oneself in the future will be even greater.
However, the lineage of immortality is hard to find. The immortality lineage that Shen Changqing currently possesses only comes from the previous Primordial Immortal Body.
But that was the path of the previous Primordial Immortal Body, not the path I wanted to take.
To truly forge your own path, you must learn from the strengths of all schools of thought.
……
Upon hearing what Shen Changqing said, Venerable Qingyao didn't say much and directly led him to the secret realm of the Xuanji Immortal Sect.
These are secret realms.
It is subject to numerous restrictions.
Even many elders of the Xuanji Immortal Sect are not allowed to easily set foot inside.
But Venerable Qingyao is different.
As the Supreme Elder of the Xuanji Immortal Sect, and one of the few Half-Saints, the other party held a high position and great power. Even the current Sect Master of the Xuanji Immortal Sect was considered a junior in front of him.
The secret realm that ordinary elders find difficult to enter is easily accessible to Venerable Qingyao.
Following by the other party, Shen Changqing also witnessed the vastness of the Xuanji Immortal Sect.
The world created by such sages is so vast that no other world can compare to it. Moreover, the immortal energy here is so rich that even many high-level immortal realms cannot match it.
Shen Changqing could often see celestial light crisscrossing the area, indicating that countless cultivators lived there.
Seemingly sensing Shen Changqing's curiosity, Venerable Qingyao smiled faintly: "The Xuanji Immortal Sect has approximately 130 million disciples, most of whom live here."
The entire world you see, fellow Daoist, is within the territory of the Xuanji Immortal Sect.
Many places are protected by sect restrictions, some even left by ancient sages. Even a half-saint could perish if he accidentally triggers them.
Therefore, fellow cultivator, if you do not have other cultivators to guide you, do not wander around aimlessly.
Although with your strength, fellow Daoist, you are not afraid of most restrictions, there are still some restrictions that should not be underestimated!
"Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist!"
Shen Changqing nodded, not doubting that what Venerable Qingyao said was true.
This was because his divine sense had already detected the existence of many powerful restrictions.
A small portion of the restrictions made Shen Changqing feel a slight unease.
These restrictions are likely the ones left behind by the ancient sages, as mentioned by Venerable Qingyao.
Shen Changqing never doubted the methods of a sage.
Although he had never truly experienced the methods of other saints, holding the Soul-Destroying Sword, he understood the terror of such powerful individuals.
Even a 9th Tribulation Half-Saint can be easily suppressed in front of a Saint.
Without the Soul-Destroying Sword, let alone a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint, even a Fourth or Fifth Tribulation Half-Saint could easily suppress me.
at this point.
Shen Changqing still had enough self-awareness.
After all.
He was merely a Celestial Emperor.
Without truly reaching the semi-saint realm, the gap between them and those veteran semi-saints is bound to be significant.
These restrictions left behind by ancient sages should not be underestimated.
As he went deeper, Shen Changqing could clearly see that the number of restrictions around him was increasing and becoming stronger.
