Chapter 4113: The Dao Ruins Lineage

“How much do you know about the Taiwei Realm now? Besides the Dao Shu lineage, how many other branches are there?”

Shen Changqing looked at the Acquired Demon God before him. He was quite familiar with this being.

Di Xing!

He was among the earliest Acquired Demon Gods to appear after Shen Changqing ascended to the Upper Realm. In

a way

, Di Xing was a veteran.

After all, the number of Acquired Demon Gods in that batch was not large to begin with, and now, after such a long period of time, many more had perished.

As of now,

there were not many of those Acquired Demon Gods still alive.

Di Xing

was one of them.

And similarly, his current cultivation level was at the half-step Immortal Emperor realm.

This level of cultivation was above average among the many Acquired Demon Gods.

To date, there weren’t many Acquired Demon Gods who could truly break through to the Immortal Emperor realm. After all,

breaking

through to the Immortal Emperor realm was not easy.

Even if an Acquired Demon God had a strong bloodline, truly breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm was not so simple.

The acquired demon god respectfully replied, “Your Majesty, besides the Dao Shu lineage, there are twenty-one other branches in the Taiwei Realm.

I’ve heard that at its peak, there were fifty-three branches, but as time passed, many lost their lineage, leaving only twenty-one.

However, these branches are not very strong; at most, they have a Celestial Emperor overseeing them.”

“Furthermore—”

“I’ve heard that in the past, various branches had Celestial Emperors capable of breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, but they all eventually disappeared and perished for various reasons.

Many cultivators suspect this is suppression by the Dao Shu lineage.

However, despite this, no one dares to cause too much trouble!”

Hearing this,

Shen Changqing remained calm, showing no surprise.

The Dao Shu lineage, wanting to control the Taiwei Realm, naturally wouldn’t allow uncontrollable factors to appear.

If other branches had produced Half-Saints, they would definitely threaten them.

Therefore,

suppressing the various branches and preventing the emergence of Half-Saints was normal.

If the Seven Profound Dao Sect hadn’t killed all the Half-Saints of the Dao Shu lineage this time, the other branches probably wouldn’t have had a chance to rise to prominence.

“Which branch of the Taiwei Realm do you belong to?”

“I belong to the Daoxu lineage!”

Di Xing answered respectfully.

“The Daoxu lineage was originally a disciple of a sage in the Taiwei Realm, but that sage perished many years ago. There are rumors that the Daoxu Venerable was killed by Dao Shu.

However, such matters are too ancient, and I cannot confirm their truth!”

“How many Immortal Emperors does the Daoxu lineage currently have?”

“There are thirteen Immortal Emperors in total!”

Di Xing answered Shen Changqing’s questions truthfully without any concealment.

From the other party, Shen Changqing’s understanding of the Taiwei Realm deepened.

Finally,

after thoroughly understanding the Taiwei Realm, Shen Changqing asked,

“Is there anyone in the Daoxu lineage you wish to kill? Or rather, is there anyone you wish to protect?

I intend to make you the ruler of the Taiwei Realm, the new Lord of the Taiwei Realm.

Before that, I will clear all obstacles for you to ensure that you can control the entire Taiwei Realm!”

These words

caused Di Xing’s heart to tremble, his face showing shock and joy.

Clearly.

Shen Changqing’s words were completely unexpected.

Taking control of the Taiwei Realm!

This was something Di Xing had never imagined.

After all, he was only a half-step Immortal Emperor, and with so many powerful figures in the Taiwei Realm, it was impossible for him to be chosen.

Yet—

this good fortune had truly fallen upon him.

Immediately,

Di Xing took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and then said, “Although the Dao Xu lineage is rife with conflict, it is also quite harmonious.

I have been in the Taiwei Realm for many years, and the Immortal Emperors of the Dao Xu lineage have shown me much kindness.

If possible, I hope Your Majesty can be lenient and give them a chance!”

He knew that with just a word from him, this man would take action and wipe out all the Immortal Emperors of the Dao Xu lineage.

However,

Di Xing ultimately did not do so.

After all, as he said, the Dao Xu lineage had treated him quite well, and he naturally wanted to give them a chance.

As for the Immortal Emperors of the other branches, Di Xing could not concern himself with them.

“Since that’s the case, then let the Dao Xu lineage take control of the Taiwei Realm. You want the master of the Dao Xu lineage, and you also want the master of the Taiwei Realm.”

Shen Changqing directly appointed Di Xing as the master of the Taiwei Realm. After all, this world was quite good, and abandoning it would be a waste.

Even without the Longevity Immortal Mine, this world was enough for a half-saint to survive and cultivate.

Under Shen Changqing’s divine sense, there was even a top-grade immortal vein in the Taiwei Realm.

In terms of cultivation environment, even the current Cangwu Mountains might not be able to compare with the Taiwei Realm.

But this was normal.

The Taiwei Realm had a long history and had once produced a saint.

It was understandable that this world had some accumulation.

However,

it was not easy for a top-grade immortal vein to nurture a top-grade immortal mine. Under Shen Changqing’s divine sense, he discovered two abandoned top-grade immortal mines, but they had been completely mined out.

It would still take a lot of time to nurture new immortal mines.

On the other side…

Upon hearing this, Di Xing bowed his head and replied, “Your subordinate obeys!”

…

The suppression of the Taiwei Realm was a natural progression.

A half-saint had fallen.

Coupled with the suppression from the Dao Shu lineage, the remaining branches had little sense of belonging to the Dao Shu lineage.

Moreover, the Seven Profound Dao Sect was powerful, and the difference in strength between the two sides was like an insurmountable chasm.

At such a time, naturally few cultivators would truly fight to the death.

In less than a few days,

the Taiwei Realm had completely fallen under the control of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Inside an ancient immortal palace, Shen Changqing sat in the main seat, below him were the many remaining powerful figures of the Taiwei Realm. All of them

were Immortal Emperors!

A total of one hundred and fifty-six!

On average

, each branch had about seven or eight Immortal Emperors.

For example, the Dao Ruins lineage had thirteen Immortal Emperors; their strength, while not top-tier among the branches, was not far behind.

However,

these Immortal Emperors all bowed their heads, their faces humble, their bodies not daring to move an inch, fearing Shen Changqing’s wrath.

“The Dao Pivot has fallen, the Dao Pivot lineage has been destroyed. Now the Taiwei Realm is under the control of our Seven Profound Dao Sect. Do you have any objections?”

From his main seat, Shen Changqing looked down at the many Immortal Emperors below and spoke calmly.

Hearing this,

the many Immortal Emperors trembled and hurriedly bowed their heads in response.

“Junior has no objection!”

“The Dao Shu lineage has acted perversely, and its destruction at the hands of the senior is the will of Heaven. How could we have any objections!”

One Immortal Emperor after another spoke up, directly distancing themselves from the Dao Shu lineage, just to avoid incurring Shen Changqing’s wrath.

Seeing this

, Shen Changqing continued, “Logically speaking, you are all cultivators of the Taiwei Realm, and I should have exterminated you all—”

These words made all the Immortal Emperors tremble, their faces turning deathly pale.

“However—”

“I am not a bloodthirsty person, so today I will give you a chance to live.

From this day forward, the Taiwei Realm will be ruled by the Dao Xu lineage. Furthermore, the Dao Xu lineage will honor Di Xing, who will be the master of the Taiwei Realm!”

Shen Changqing’s words stunned all the Immortal Emperors, and many cultivators then looked in the direction of the Dao Xu lineage, their eyes filled with shock.

None of them had expected that the Dao Xu lineage would be related to the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Not only the other Immortal Emperors, but even those from the Dao Ruins lineage were stunned.

Clearly,

Shen Changqing’s words had also caught them off guard.

The name Di Xing was unfamiliar to the other branches; only the Dao Ruins lineage’s Immortal Emperors were familiar with it.

After all—

a half-step Immortal Emperor was nothing special in the Taiwei Realm.

The other branches naturally wouldn’t care much.

But now that Shen Changqing had mentioned it, it was different.

Then,

Shen Changqing let Di Xing enter.

The latter stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Shen Changqing.

“Your subordinate greets Your Excellency!”

“From this day forward, you are the master of the Dao Ruins lineage and also the master of the Taiwei Realm. Furthermore, this is a Primordial Dao Fruit, sufficient to allow you to truly break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

A half-step Immortal Emperor cultivation is still somewhat insufficient to rule the Taiwei Realm.”

As Shen Changqing spoke, he flicked his sleeve, and an immortal fruit appeared out of thin air, landing in front of Di Xing.

“The Primordial Dao Fruit!”

All the Immortal Emperors looked at the immortal fruit, their eyes burning with fervor and a barely perceptible greed.

Such a rare treasure, capable of allowing a cultivator to create an inner universe, was enough to drive any cultivator below the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm mad.

After all,

for ordinary Immortal Emperors, creating an inner universe was no easy feat.

Even after hundreds of millions or even billions of years of cultivation, they might not be able to create a new inner universe.

A single Primordial Dao Fruit!

It could save countless years of arduous effort!

How could such a rare treasure not tempt them?

Seeing Di Xing, a mere half-step Immortal Emperor, directly obtain such an opportunity, it would be a lie to say they weren’t envious.

However,

envy aside

, they could only watch.

No one dared to touch even a fraction of the opportunity personally bestowed by Shen Changqing.

“Thank you for your generous gift, Your Excellency!”

Di Xing was also filled with excitement, never expecting Shen Changqing to bestow such an opportunity. He respectfully accepted the Primordial Dao Fruit and then stored it in his storage ring.

“Remember, in the Taiwei Realm, Di Xing’s orders are my orders. Anyone who dares to disobey will not only die, but their entire branch will also perish.”

As the last sentence was spoken, the entire hall was filled with an extremely chilling killing intent.

Many Immortal Emperors trembled and hurriedly bowed their heads in agreement.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing announced some more matters, and all the Immortal Emperors present had no right to object except to nod in agreement.

After a long while, Shen Changqing waved his hand, dismissing the Immortal Emperors.

Once they left the hall, the Immortal Emperors finally breathed a sigh of relief. Some even looked at the cultivators of the Dao Ruins lineage with envy.

“I didn’t expect the Dao Ruins lineage to have a connection with that person. They’ve kept it well hidden!

“

The Immortal Emperor of the Dao Ruins lineage simply smiled and did not offer much explanation.
