Chapter 3779 Another Innate Immortal Body

“This is Ji Kong, a disciple I once took in. The rest are his fellow disciples, all from the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

The Lingxiao Sword Sect has been annihilated by the Dark Cult, with only a few surviving.

They have come to the Star Luo Immortal Realm, and I wish to find them a blessed immortal mountain in Guangyu Prefecture as the foundation of their sect. Do you have any recommendations?”

Shen Changqing asked calmly.

Upon hearing this

, Haoyang’s expression faltered for a moment, then he smiled.

“That’s easy. I dare not speak of other places, but if it’s just in Guangyu Prefecture, finding a blessed immortal mountain is simple.

There happens to be an immortal mountain three million miles from the Fuyou Holy Land. This immortal mountain is occupied by a group of rogue cultivators. Not long ago, a disciple of the Holy Land was unfortunately killed by these rogue cultivators, and I am about to settle accounts with them.

Once the Holy Land eliminates these rogue cultivators, that immortal mountain can serve as the foundation of your disciple’s sect!”   Shen Changqing nodded slightly

.   He could actually do this himself, but there was no need.   Haoyang’s involvement was undoubtedly the most suitable.   Of course,   according to what the other party said, such a sacred mountain couldn’t possibly be the most prestigious cultivation ground in Guangyu Prefecture.   After all, top-tier cultivation grounds are either occupied by powerful rogue cultivators or controlled by major forces.   For example, the sacred mountains and blessed lands where the Qian Yuan Holy Land and the Beidou Immortal Sect were located were the top cultivation holy lands in Guangyu Prefecture.   After these forces were destroyed, the Fuyao Holy Land didn’t interfere much, allowing other forces to fight for them, which naturally led to fierce battles.   Although Shen Changqing didn’t know the specifics, he vaguely knew that ultimately those sacred mountains and blessed lands fell into the hands of several top-tier Immortal Emperor-level rogue cultivators.   The reason the Fuyao Holy Land didn’t bring those sacred mountains and blessed lands under its control was simple.   First, they weren’t needed.   The territory currently controlled by the Fuyao Holy Land was sufficient for its own growth; continuing to annex more sacred mountains and blessed lands wouldn’t be very meaningful.   Besides…   The Fuyao Holy Land is the most powerful force in Guangyu Prefecture, but Dongming Immortal State is ultimately incomparable to other immortal states.   No one knows how many hidden powerhouses exist in the Star Luo Immortal Domain.   Even a small place like Guangyu Prefecture might suddenly produce an ancient half-saint, or even a saint-level being.   Therefore,   even though no force in the open can rival the Fuyao Holy Land, Haoyang still needs to be cautious.   After all,   if something goes wrong, the Fuyao Holy Land could be destroyed in an instant.   This situation is not uncommon.   Such a thing has happened in Guangyu Prefecture before.   Furthermore,   even Haoyang could see that Ji Kong and the other cultivators weren’t particularly strong. Even if a top-tier immortal mountain and blessed land were given to them, they might not be able to protect it.   It would be better to use an ordinary immortal mountain as their foundation, and with the name of the Fuyao Holy Land, other forces wouldn’t dare to offend them rashly.   ”Since that’s the case, you can make arrangements for the remaining cultivators of the Lingxiao Sword Sect for now,”   Shen Changqing said.   ”Agreed!”   Haoyang nodded, and the other Lingxiao Sword Sect cultivators hurriedly paid their respects.   ”Thank you, Senior!”   They couldn’t afford to be careless with a being who seemed to be a top-tier Immortal Emperor.   Afterwards,   Haoyang arranged for people to temporarily allocate a place as a residence for the Lingxiao Sword Sect.   On the other side,   Ji Kong followed Shen Changqing to the Bodhi Immortal Mansion.   Stepping into this immortal mansion, he saw ancient trees reaching the sky, and the powerful immortal energy and Daoist aura made Ji Kong’s mind tremble.   As a true disciple of the first peak of the Lingxiao Sword Sect and a direct disciple of Jiang Daoyuan, he was valued by the sect, and his own immortal mansion had an excellent cultivation environment.   However, compared with the immortal mansion before him, it was still inferior.   ”Sit down,”   Shen Changqing sat down under the Bodhi tree and then spoke lightly. Ji Kong sat down in the empty seat in front of him as instructed.   ”Master!”   Facing Shen Changqing alone, Ji Kong felt a strange sense of restraint and pressure.   It was understandable;   after more than ten million years apart, some restraint was inevitable.   Shen Changqing’s expression was calm: “Tell me, what has happened to you these past years?”   ”Yes—”   Ji Kong’s face straightened, and he immediately recounted everything that had happened since his ascension without any concealment.   His journey hadn’t been too tumultuous; he had been fortunate enough to join the Lingxiao Sword Sect and had been cultivating ever since.   However,   when Shen Changqing heard that Ji Kong possessed the Innate Golden Spirit Immortal Body, a look of surprise appeared on his face.   Innate Immortal Body!   In fact,   Ji Kong should be considered the third cultivator among all the ascended cultivators in the universe to possess an Innate Immortal Body.   No—   strictly speaking,   it should be the fourth.   Shen Changqing had almost forgotten to include himself.   However,   even excluding himself, Gu Qingyang, Ji Kong, and Jian Huang made up three Innate Immortal Bodies.   Normally, Innate Immortal Bodies are rare.   Looking across the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, many ancient sects struggle to even produce a single innate immortal body. The   fact that three innate immortal bodies could appear in the myriad universes at once is itself inconceivable.   This indirectly demonstrates that the myriad universes possess great fortune.   Otherwise,   how could one explain the emergence of so many innate immortal bodies in a lower realm universe?   Furthermore,   ascension is difficult in lower realm universes.   Before its advancement, while ancient immortals weren’t exactly abundant in the myriad universes, their numbers were still excessively high compared to other lower realm universes.   From all perspectives, the myriad universes are extraordinary.   However…

Shen Changqing couldn’t yet determine why this microcosm possessed such great fortune.

After Ji Kong finished speaking, Shen Changqing paused and said, “Those with innate immortal bodies can compete for the opportunities of the Ancient Immortal Stele. If you can find the opportunity on the Ancient Immortal Stele, you might have a chance to step into the Great Perfection of the Immortal Body. If

you want to revive the Lingxiao Sword Sect, your cultivation at the Ancient Immortal Realm is far from enough. Even if you step into the Immortal Emperor Realm, you’re still far from it.

The Dark Cult is powerful, and the Dark Lord behind it is unfathomable.

Next, prepare yourself. I will take you to other Immortal Continents to try to seize a chance. Before that, what you need to do is suppress your cultivation to the greatest extent possible and not break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm for the time being!”

“Ancient Immortal Stele!”

Ji Kong’s mind trembled when he heard this.

He was also familiar with the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.

In fact,

Jiang Daoyuan had intended for him to go to the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele to compete for the opportunities on the Ancient Immortal Stele.

However, at that time, Ji Kong believed that his cultivation still had room for improvement, so he suppressed his cultivation and did not go for the time being.

But no one expected this.

This wait

led to the destruction of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

Eventually, Ji Kong had given up on the idea of vying for the Ancient Immortal Stele’s opportunity.

After all,

without the Lingxiao Sword Sect as a backer, if he were to leave his mark on the Ancient Immortal Stele, he would inevitably become a target for other forces.

Even with his confidence, Ji Kong knew he was merely an Ancient Immortal, far inferior to those ancient forces, and had no chance of contending.

But now,

Shen Changqing’s words rekindled his hope.

However,

Ji Kong still hesitated: “When I was in the Lingxiao Sword Sect, I heard that many forces were eyeing the spots on the Ancient Immortal Stele. Even if an ordinary cultivator was lucky enough to enter the Ancient Immortal Stele, other forces wouldn’t let them go unpunished.

Now that the Lingxiao Sword Sect is destroyed, if I go to the location of the Heavenly Dao Stele, I’m afraid it will cause trouble for Master—”   Ji Kong phrased

this tactfully.   This wasn’t due to a lack of confidence in Shen Changqing, but rather because his master had ascended later than him.   Even though his cultivation is now unfathomable, capable of easily slaying a Celestial Emperor from the Immortal God Sect, the opponent’s cultivation is at most at the Celestial Emperor level.   Without the Great Tribulation, immortality   is difficult to achieve. Ji Kong is   well aware of this   . If he were to go to the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele and implicate his master, the master would be held responsible.   Shen Changqing chuckled upon hearing this: “Don’t worry. Since I’ve sent you to the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele, I’m confident I can protect you.   However, the opportunity at the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele is crucial. If you don’t cultivate to the pinnacle of Ancient Immortals, you’ll inevitably lose the initiative.   If you focus on your cultivation, you’ll have a chance to compete for first place on the Ancient Immortal Stele!”   Shen Changqing wasn’t exaggerating.   The last person   to reach first place on the Ancient Immortal Stele was Ji Yang.   When Ji Yang ascended to the top, his immortal body hadn’t even reached the Lesser Completion stage; he relied solely on his inherent strength to suppress a group of Ancient Immortals and ultimately reach the top.   In comparison, although Ji Kong is not a reincarnation of an ancient powerhouse, his greatest advantage lies in his minor mastery of the Immortal Body.   Every breakthrough and transformation of an innate Immortal Body is astonishing.   However,   the difficulty of such a transformation is immense.   It’s evident that the Lingxiao Sword Sect paid a heavy price to allow Ji Kong to reach the minor mastery of the Immortal Body.   With such an Immortal Body as his foundation, Ji Kong is qualified to compete with Ji Yang before his breakthrough.   Although   Ji Yang has now broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm and been removed from the Ancient Immortal Stele, changing hands, Ji Kong,   with his foundation, is qualified to contend regardless of who ascends to the top of the Ancient Immortal Stele.   As for Ji Kong’s concerns, Shen Changqing understands.   To be honest,   if Ji Kong were vying for the opportunity of the Immortal Emperor Stele, Shen Changqing wouldn’t be so confident in protecting him.   But if it’s merely an opportunity on the Ancient Immortal Stele, it’s not a big problem.   Shen Changqing has his own plans for how to proceed.   Seeing his master’s resolute attitude, Ji Kong suppressed his remaining concerns and nodded in agreement.   ”By the way, Master previously referred to himself as Bodhi…”   Then, as if remembering something, Ji Kong asked hesitantly.   Shen Changqing replied calmly, “It’s nothing, just some trouble I’ve caused. Just consider me Bodhi; there’s no need to say anything else.   Don’t reveal too much information, not even to the cultivators of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.”   ”Disciple understands!” (End of Chapter)
