Chapter 4114: Starry Sky Seal

“Your Excellency!”

Only Shen Changqing and Di Xing remained in the main hall, the latter standing respectfully to the side.

Shen Changqing said, “The main reason the Seven Profound Dao Sect attacked the Taiwei Realm this time is the Longevity Immortal Mine. How much do you know about it?”

“I don’t know much about the Longevity Immortal Mine, but I’ve heard it’s where the sage of the Taiwei Realm was buried.

Later, the sage’s Dao aura dissipated, eventually forming the Longevity Immortal Mine.

Over the years, many cultivators in the Taiwei Realm have been mining it, but I don’t know the specific yield.

However, Your Excellency, rest assured, just give me a month, and I’ll handle everything!”

Di Xing said in a deep voice.

Hearing this,

Shen Changqing nodded slightly.

Di Xing’s answer was within his expectations.

After all, the other party was originally just a cultivator from the Dao Ruins lineage, so naturally, he had little contact with him.

“Next, the Seven Profound Dao Sect will continue to focus all its efforts on mining the Longevity Immortal Mine. You will be in charge of this matter. As for the manpower for mining the immortal mine, it will be recruited from the Taiwei Realm.

I will not interfere with any other resources in the Taiwei Realm; you will handle them all.

However, the Longevity Immortal Mine, and any subsequent top-grade mineral veins that may emerge, will belong to the Seven Profound Dao Sect. The Taiwei Realm is not allowed to touch them,”

Shen Changqing said calmly to Di Xing.

If the Seven Profound Dao Sect were in charge of the Taiwei Realm, then needless to say, all the cultivators in the Taiwei Realm would become mine slaves, and wanting to share the resources would be a pipe dream.

However,

with Di Xing in charge,

Shen Changqing wouldn’t mind sharing some resources.

After all, apart from the Longevity Immortal Mine and any subsequent top-grade mineral veins that might emerge, the other resources in the Taiwei Realm are not much.

Now that the Dao Shu lineage has been destroyed and the Dao Xu lineage is in charge of the Taiwei Realm, Shen Changqing also wants to cultivate another force.

Now he understands more and more that fighting alone is ultimately insufficient. Having

more forces serving him means more resources.

For example, when supreme powers like the Jiang family and the Taiyi Immortal Sect clash, it’s all about their respective strengths.

However,

most forces, while outwardly appearing subservient, aren’t necessarily reliable.

The Acquired Demon Gods are different.

These beings, born from the Seven Profound Divine Tower, serve him, and currently, apart from the Dark Lord, no one can change that.

This is enough to demonstrate the reliability of the Acquired Demon Gods.

Moreover,

as he breaks through to the Half-Saint realm, Shen Changqing can clearly feel his control over the Seven Profound Divine Tower has deepened considerably, and the same applies to the Acquired Demon Gods, being beings born from the tower.

However,

Shen Changqing isn’t sure if the Dark Lord still has the potential to break the Seven Profound Divine Tower’s restrictions.

But as his cultivation increases, one day, even if the Dark Lord himself intervenes, he will have absolutely no chance of breaking the restrictions.

But how many powerhouses like the Dark Lord are there in the world?

In the end,

they are nothing more than rare gems.

Di Xing respectfully obeyed Shen Changqing’s command.

Finally,

Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, and a celestial seal slowly emerged. The moment this seal appeared, it emitted an astonishing aura, causing the entire hall’s void to tremble.

“This is the Starry Sky Heavenly Gang Seal, a first-grade innate imperial weapon. You can begin refining it after you break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

With this treasure, even with your initial Immortal Emperor cultivation, you can contend with top-tier Immortal Emperors!”

Shen Changqing said.

An innate imperial weapon is still an innate imperial weapon!

Even a first-grade innate imperial weapon possesses power beyond the reach of an Immortal Emperor.

An ordinary Immortal Emperor wielding an innate imperial weapon is enough to fight beyond their level.

Moreover,

the Starry Sky Heavenly Gang Seal is a top-tier treasure even among first-grade innate imperial weapons.

This item was useless to Shen Changqing, but for other Immortal Emperors, it was an unparalleled opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Di Xing’s expression immediately became excited. He respectfully accepted the Starry Sky Seal with both hands and said loudly, “Thank you for bestowing this treasure, Your Excellency!”

“Alright, go down!”

Shen Changqing waved his hand, dismissing Di Xing.

After the other party left, Shen Changqing used his divine sense to communicate with the Soul-Destroying Sword and asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.

“Senior, have you ever heard of the existence of the Dark Lord?”

“The Dark Lord… I think I know him!”

Jiu Ye remained silent for a long time before giving his answer.

Hearing this, Shen Changqing’s spirits lifted, and he immediately asked, “Then, Senior, do you know what level of existence he is?”

“I once saw him once. At that time, he was at the Sovereign Realm.

Now, countless years have passed, and I suppose he has not been able to truly break through that shackle. He should still be at the Sovereign Realm!”

Jiu Ye’s tone was indifferent; a Sovereign Realm expert did not cause him much emotional fluctuation.

The Chaos Sovereign!

Hearing this, Shen Changqing was deeply shaken.

Although he had already guessed that the Dark Lord’s cultivation was not unfathomable, he hadn’t expected that the other party had actually reached the level of a Ruler.

This realm was the strongest existence below the Lord of the Great Dao.

This was not surprising.

The Dark Turmoil had continued for so many years, yet the Dark Cult had never been eradicated.

If the Dark Lord was a Chaos Ruler, then everything would make sense.

Thinking of this,

Shen Changqing took a deep breath and asked again, “Are there many Rulers in the Chaos now?”

“There aren’t usually many Rulers, because reaching this level already qualifies one to enter the Outer Heavens.

Therefore, most cultivators who can enter this level go to the Outer Heavens and rarely stay here.”

“The Outer Heavens…”

Shen Changqing murmured to himself. He had heard of this place more than once.

Jiuye said, “The Outer Heavens are incomparable to Chaos. They are the sacred cultivation grounds for all living beings, and it is said to be the end of all chaos.

Most Chaos Masters who wish to attain the Great Dao go to the Outer Heavens to seek opportunities.

However… there are exceptions!”

“What do you mean, Senior?”

“If one is an incarnation of the Great Dao, going to the Outer Heavens rashly is tantamount to courting death.

Any cultivator who can enter the Master realm can understand their true self and perceive the past, present, and future. At this level, if one is an incarnation of the Great Dao, one can understand this matter from the depths of the universe.

Therefore, such beings in the Master realm will not step into the Outer Heavens, but will cultivate in seclusion within their own chaos to seek the path to breaking through and attaining the Dao!”

Shen Changqing suddenly understood upon hearing this.

Then

, he thought of something and asked, “So, the Dark Lord is an incarnation of a certain Great Dao Master?”

“It should be!”

Jiuye paused here, then continued.

“However, the Lord of the Great Dao manifests in countless forms, and a single realm of chaos has countless incarnations. To know which Lord of the Great Dao one is is not so easy.”

Upon hearing this,

Shen Changqing nodded.

Just then,

Jiu Ye’s voice continued.

“The transformation from a Chaos Ruler to a Lord of the Great Dao is not so easy. Everyone cultivates a different Dao, and truly comprehending this Dao is naturally not so simple.

There was once a sword cultivator who tested his sword in the chaos, sweeping away all enemies with his own sword Dao, even going so far as to conquer the outer realms of chaos. In the end, he trampled countless corpses underfoot to reach the pinnacle of the sword Dao, and thus, with the ultimate sword Dao, he evolved into countless forms, becoming a Lord of the Great Dao.

However, this is easier said than done.

Some Chaos Rulers, even after experiencing countless tribulations, still find it difficult to truly take that step.

This person’s stirring up of dark turmoil must be related to his own Dao, and perhaps this is the key to his desire to become a Lord of the Great Dao.”

These words made Shen Changqing fall into deep thought.

Why the Dark Lord had stirred up the Dark Turmoil had remained a mystery to

Shen Changqing until now, with Jiu Ye’s words, he gradually began to understand.

Breaking through!

The Dao cultivated by that person was related to the Dark Turmoil.

That person intended to use this to break the shackles of the Sovereign realm and reach the level of the Great Dao Lord.

After all,

if he were the Dark Lord, knowing he was an incarnation of the Great Dao Lord, the constant possibility of death would surely drive him mad.

Therefore, his willingness to break through at any cost was understandable.

Now, knowing the Dark Lord’s true strength, Shen Changqing understood that such a being was beyond his current capabilities.

Let alone a Half-Saint realm, even if he had broken through to the third stage of the Saint realm, he would likely have to yield to a Sovereign.

However,

even if such a powerful being could intervene, other powerful figures would be protecting him, so it wasn’t currently of much concern to him.

…

On the other side…

Upon becoming the new Lord of the Taiwei Realm, Di Xing immediately consumed the Primordial Dao Fruit to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Thanks to the assistance of rare and precious materials, Di Xing’s breakthrough was relatively quick.

After successfully breaking through

, he immediately began to reorganize and manage the various branches of the Taiwei Realm, acquiring all the resources that had once belonged to the Dao Shu lineage.

Simultaneously,

Di Xing gathered all the information regarding the Longevity Immortal Mine and the entire Taiwei Realm, then delivered it to Shen Changqing.

“Your Excellency, all the resources of the Taiwei Realm are here. Please review them!”

Di Xing respectfully handed a jade slip to Shen Changqing, who scanned it with his divine sense, and everything within the jade slip appeared in his sea of consciousness.

“The Taiwei Realm’s foundation is indeed profound!”

Shen Changqing nodded slightly after digesting all the information.

Although he had anticipated this, seeing this summary revealed that the Taiwei Realm’s resources were far greater than he had expected.

However, even so, Shen Changqing did not break his promise.

Aside from the Longevity Immortal Mine and any other potentially superior mineral veins that might emerge from it, the remaining resources were left for Di Xing to handle.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing personally went to the location of the Longevity Immortal Mine.

There, he saw a vast and ancient mountain range, like a giant dragon sprawling across the earth, seemingly dividing the entire Taiwei Realm in two.

When Shen Changqing stepped into this mountain range, he immediately felt a powerful force of the Great Dao rules descend upon him, causing his body to feel some pressure.
