Chapter 3744 The Rules of the Heavenly Dao Immortal City

But before this half-saint could truly make a move, a figure in purple robes rose into the air.

With a single punch, the void trembled, and a powerful force erupted, instantly intercepting the half-saint of the Eternal Immortal Court.

Seeing this

, the other’s face darkened, revealing a hint of shock.

“Physical Sainthood—!!!”

“Heavenly Dao Immortal City forbids fighting. Are you perhaps trampling on the rules of the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands?”

Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the half-saint of the Eternal Immortal Court, his expression indifferent.

All the cultivators were stunned by this sudden turn of events, speechless with shock.

Physical Sainthood!

A realm that even half-saints struggled to reach, yet a Celestial Emperor had achieved it.

Many powerful figures recalled the aura fluctuations from before; they had been curious about who had achieved physical sainthood.

But now it seemed the one who had achieved physical sainthood was right here.

At the same time…

Gu Qingyang’s attack had fully landed, and Qin Zhou was no match for such absolute power.

“Boom—”

The sword energy crashed down, and the sixth prince of the Eternal Immortal Court was instantly killed.

A vast and powerful shockwave raged across the Immortal Dao Platform, failing to subside for a long time.

Seeing this,

the other cultivators’ expressions changed.

He killed him!

Gu Qingyang had really killed Qin Zhou!

In full view of everyone, he had slain the sixth prince of the Eternal Immortal Court on the Immortal Dao Platform!

It’s over—

this was the first thought that popped into the minds of all the cultivators.

Not that they were finished, but that Gu Qingyang was finished.

The Eternal Immortal Court was one of the Nine Dynasties, and although Qin Zhou was just one of many princes, he was still a prince of the Eternal Immortal Court, with a noble status.

Now that he had been killed on the Immortal Dao Platform, it was easy to understand that the Eternal Immortal Court would be furious.

At the same time…

Upon witnessing Qin Zhou’s demise, the half-saint of the Eternal Immortal Court’s expression turned even colder, his intense killing intent almost tangible.

“Very well, very well! How dare you kill a prince of my Eternal Immortal Court! You have audacity!”

Although he wasn’t Qin Zhou’s protector, he was still guarding the Heavenly Dao Immortal City on behalf of the Eternal Immortal Court.

Now that Qin Zhou had been killed in front of everyone, he couldn’t save face, and more importantly, he couldn’t explain this to the Immortal Court.

Shen Changqing said, “Life and death are decided on the Immortal Dao Platform. This has been the rule of the Heavenly Dao Immortal City for many years, and it was also established by the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands.

Now that your Eternal Immortal Court’s people have stepped onto the Immortal Dao Platform, they must be prepared to die.

Does this mean that others can die on this Immortal Dao Platform, but your people cannot?”

These words

instantly quelled the half-saint’s anger. He gave Shen Changqing a deep look.

“Well said, life and death are decided on the Immortal Dao Platform. I will remember this!”

With that, Qin Yuan prepared to leave.

But at that moment, Shen Changqing stepped forward again, directly blocking the other party’s path.

“What do you intend to do?”

“The Heavenly Dao Immortal Platform has its own rules. No one may act without authorization outside the Immortal Dao Platform. You, as a member of the Eternal Immortal Court, have disregarded the rules of the Heavenly Dao Immortal City. Do you not intend to give an explanation for this matter?”

Shen Changqing’s words immediately made the half-saint of the Eternal Immortal Court turn ashen-faced.

When did

the rules of the Heavenly Dao Immortal City become qualified to bind the Eternal Immortal Court!

Qin Yuan coldly said, “What do you intend to do?”

“According to the rules of the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, anyone who acts without authorization will surely die!”

A calm voice came, and Qin Yuan looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a familiar figure appear.

When he saw the person, his face immediately darkened.

“Golden Palace Venerable… what exactly do you mean by this!”

The person who came was none other than the Golden Palace Venerable of the Taiyi Holy Land, a nine-tribulation half-saint.

The latter smiled faintly: “I always adhere to the rules, but the Eternal Immortal Court is one of the rulers of the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, naturally incomparable to ordinary cultivators.

In my opinion, if Fellow Daoist Qin is willing to make some compensation, I believe Young Friend Shen will not hold it against you!”

As he spoke,

Venerable Jinque looked at Shen Changqing beside him, who nodded.

“Since Senior Jinque has spoken, then I will naturally give him face. The life of a half-saint is not cheap, so let’s give him ten thousand top-grade immortal stones!”

“Impossible!”

Qin Yuan refused instantly upon hearing this.

What a joke.

Ten thousand top-grade immortal stones!

Even if he sold himself, he might not be able to scrape together ten thousand top-grade immortal stones.

On the other side.

The Golden Palace Venerable gave Shen Changqing a deep look, then turned to Qin Yuan: “This matter concerns the rules of the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands. Fellow Daoist Qin’s actions are ultimately somewhat inappropriate.

However, ten thousand top-grade immortal stones are too many. I, the Venerable, will grant you one thousand top-grade immortal stones, and we’ll call it even. What do you think, young friend Shen?”

“Agreed!”

Shen Changqing nodded in agreement.

He didn’t really want ten thousand top-grade immortal stones; he was just making a casual offer. After all, how could one bargain without setting a price?

In fact,

according to Shen Changqing’s thinking, Qin Yuan would be lucky to come up with one or two hundred top-grade immortal stones.

However, since the Golden Palace Venerable offered one thousand, Shen Changqing naturally had no reason to refuse.

Qin Yuan’s expression was uncertain, but with the appearance of the Golden Palace Venerable and the gazes of other hidden experts fixed on him, he was already in a difficult position.

Ultimately,

the Eternal Immortal Court was not in the right this time.

Of course, the most important point is that Heavenly Dao Immortal City is not a one-man show by the Eternal Immortal Court. The rules here are jointly established by the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands, and cannot be influenced by the Eternal Immortal Court alone.

Therefore,

Qin Yuan, enduring the discomfort of swallowing a fly, directly tossed out a storage ring and looked at Shen Changqing with a sinister gaze.

“Young man, the Eternal Immortal Court will never let this matter rest. I hope you’ll still be as arrogant as you are today!”

With these harsh words, Qin Yuan flicked his sleeve, took Qin Zhou’s corpse away, and turned to leave without a moment’s hesitation.

Staying was pointless.

The Eternal Immortal Court had not only lost a prince, but he also had to compensate them with immortal stones—a humiliating defeat.

Staying would only make him look foolish.

If he didn’t leave now, when would he?

After Qin Yuan left, Venerable Jinque looked at Shen Changqing and smiled faintly, “Young friend Shen, would you be willing to visit my Immortal Abode?” “

Since you invited me, senior, I dare not refuse!”

Shen Changqing readily agreed. He then instructed Gu Qingyang to return to his Immortal Abode first, and that everything else would be discussed upon his return.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing left with Venerable Jinque.

Only after they left did the other cultivators dare to break the silence. Looking at the blood on the Immortal Platform, they felt as if they were in a dream.

“Qin Zhou is dead!”

“The genius of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect actually dared to kill Qin Zhou, hiss… Could it be that he’s really not afraid of the Eternal Immortal Court?!”

“Hmph, life and death are decided on the Immortal Dao Platform. Qin Zhou was obviously eyeing the ranking on the Ancient Immortal Stele. If Gu Qingyang didn’t make a move, then he himself would be the one to die. When it comes to one’s own life and death, who cares about your identity or background—”

Someone sneered, and many agreed with this.

Not everyone would care about the Eternal Immortal Court.

Especially when it comes to one’s own life and death, it’s normal to be willing to go all out.

However,

compared to the battle between Gu Qingyang and Qin Zhou, Shen Changqing’s interception of a half-saint in full view of everyone was even more shocking.

Physical sainthood!

Many half-saints haven’t even been able to reach this level, yet an Immortal Emperor has already stepped into this realm in one step. How could this not be astonishing?

At the same time,

in the Immortal Palace where the Great Wilderness Immortal Court was located, Luo Jiuqing stood with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy, showing no trace of the joy he had when Qin Zhou died.

“A mid-level Immortal Realm sect dares to provoke the Nine Dynasties’ power? They truly don’t know their own mortality!”

In his view, the Nine Dynasties’ power was not to be trifled with.

Although the Great Wilderness Immortal Court and the Eternal Immortal Court had a long history of friction and considerable grudges, this didn’t mean Luo Jiuqing wanted to see Qin Zhou perish at the hands of a minor sect’s prodigy.

More importantly,

Gu Qingyang’s recklessness made Luo Jiuqing feel a sense of threat.

If it hadn’t been Jiang Tang who stepped onto the Ancient Immortal Stele first, but Gu Qingyang, then the person who died today wouldn’t be Qin Zhou, but him, Luo Jiuqing.

In terms of strength, although Luo Jiuqing was unwilling, he had to admit that he was at most on par with Qin Zhou.

Although as a prince of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court, he possessed some powerful trump cards that were unmatched by cultivators of the same level,

the problem was that

there were countless princes in each Immortal Court, but only a very small number were truly favored, and those who weren’t favored had limited cultivation resources.

Qin Zhou, even with his semi-saint level trump cards, still perished on the Immortal Dao Platform. If it were him, the outcome would have been the same.

…

“I thought he was just an ant that could be crushed easily, but he turned out to be a dragon crossing the river. This time, it’s all thanks to Qin Zhou’s quick action; otherwise, I might have been the one who fell!”

The other prodigies from various forces secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not everyone shared Luo Jiuqing’s thoughts; they were only glad that Qin Zhou had acted quickly, otherwise, they might have been the ones who truly fell into the trap.

It’s undeniable that

Gu Qingyang’s strength was indeed formidable.

Such a peerless prodigy, capable of ranking ninth on the Ancient Immortal Stele, was simply incomparable to ordinary prodigies.

If it were simply a matter of strength, they would even struggle to contend with the prodigies at the bottom of the Ancient Immortal Stele, let alone the top ten.

As for the powerful trump cards possessed by prodigies from major forces, they were often the key to determining victory or defeat.

However, it was clear that Gu Qingyang also had his trump cards; otherwise, how could he have broken through that azure light and killed Qin Zhou in front of everyone?

Although few people truly understood the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, just by looking at the actions of Gu Qingyang and Shen Changqing, it was evident that the people of this sect were indeed quite tough.

However,

some people sneered at this.

“Being tough isn’t enough; you also need to be strong enough. The Eternal Immortal Court will not let this go easily after losing face this time. If the Xuan Tian Dao Sect doesn’t have any other trump cards, I’m afraid it won’t be long before it’s wiped out of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm by the Eternal Immortal Court!”
