Chapter 719: Chapter 718 Demon Immortal Makes Trouble
Supreme Clear Dao Master nodded with satisfaction, “With this, I can rest easy. You may freely use anything from the Ziwei Palace’s treasury, and this is the key to open it.”
He then sent Qin Changqing a sphere of light, which contained an ancient-looking key.
Such a key, although appearing similar to an ordinary one, could not be opened by simply fabricating another one with the same shape.
After handing over the key to Qin Changqing, the Supreme Clear Dao Master gave him a few more tasks to attend to, and then his astral projection departed.
“Fellow Daoist Qin Changqing, the Supreme Clear Dao Master must have sought you out, right?”
No sooner had Qin Changqing returned to Divine Continent Heaven than the Celestial Court Master arrived.
It seemed that the Celestial Court Master had also been entrusted with a task by the Saints.
Upon asking, Qin Changqing discovered it was indeed the case.
In the Immortal World, four of the Nine Layers Grand Formation lay within the Immortal Court, set up jointly by the Saints.
Beyond that, the Saints had also individually set up several Great Arrays, which they would traditionally activate themselves. Unless faced with an enemy at the level of a Saint, these arrays would not usually activate on their own.
But this time, the Saints had extended the authority to the Quasi-Saints of the Immortal World.
“Such matters have happened before. When the Dao Masters enter perilous places within the Outer Heaven Realm and cannot spare the time, nor summon enough strength for a short while, it is quite normal; there is no need for you to worry,” the Celestial Court Master assured, as if to alleviate any of Qin Changqing’s concerns.
The Celestial Court Master clearly thought too much.
How could Qin Changqing be worried?
“I hope it doesn’t last too long this time. I would have completed my mission in another two hundred thousand years. If the Saints don’t return, my position as the Celestial Court Master won’t be easy to hand over,” the Celestial Court Master remarked.
As a Quasi-Saint, the Celestial Court Master aspired to become a Saint and was not keen on dealing with the trifles of the Immortal World within the Immortal Court.
The other Quasi-Saints were all in secluded cultivation, engaging in prolonged Dao Integration.
The Flowers Celestial Master, for instance, had not emerged from her seclusion yet.
But the Immortal World could not be left unguarded.
Even if the Saints were present in the Immortal World, someone still had to handle some of the Immortal World’s affairs.
Although it might seem like there wasn’t much to do, there were actually quite a few matters to attend to.
Thus, the position of Celestial Court Master is not fixed; generally, Quasi-Saints take turns, each serving for a million years.
Once they reach the strength of a Quasi-Saint, they don’t place much importance on such positions. Even though there are some benefits, these are far outweighed by the time they could spend on Dao Integration, striving to become a Saint as soon as possible.
This matter did not bring much impact to Qin Changqing.
After the Celestial Court Master left, Qin Changqing continued to lead his own simple life.
Time flowed by, year after year.
A few tens of thousands of years later, during one year, Nine Tails finally made a breakthrough to the realm of a Quasi-Saint.
Nine Tails had spent an untold number of years at the realm of a Half-Saint. With Qin Changqing’s help and over many years, she had managed to reach the realm of a Quasi-Saint.
After she became a Quasi-Saint, Qin Changqing specifically went to Green Hill Fox Mountain to spend a blissful time with her, celebrating Nine Tails’ breakthrough.
“Qing, the major clans of the Monster Immortal Realm are preparing to convene a grand meeting. It looks like they may make a big move,” Nine Tails said.
A big move?
“Have they invited you?”
“They have, my husband. If they make any moves, I’ll tell you,” she answered.
“Mm.”
Qin Changqing gently embraced her.
A few years later, the major move that Nine Tails mentioned arrived.
Within the Monster Immortal Realm, many of the monster clans with individuals above the Great Luo level were all flocking to the center of the Monster Immortal Realm, engaging in secret plots.
They plotted in secret for several years.
“My husband, the many great clans of the Monster Immortal Realm are planning to take advantage of the Saints’ absence to completely break away from the Immortal World and also to begin vying for control over the Spirit Domains of the Lower Realms,” Nine Tails informed him.
However, what these Demon Immortals could have never imagined was that their secret plotting had been fully disclosed to Qin Changqing by Nine Tails.
Well, well, well, they were planning to completely sever ties with the Immortal World.
Not just sever ties, but also to poach at the Immortal World’s corners and seize the Lower Realms’ Spirit Domains belonging to the Immortal World.
The Spirit Domains under the Immortal World were as numerous as the grains of sand.
These Spirit Domains contributed to the Immortal World’s prosperity.
Yet, the number of Demon Realms that the Devil Immortal Realm possessed paled in comparison to the Immortal World’s Spirit Domains.
The overall strength of the Monster Immortal Realm was not even on par with the Devil Immortal Realm, and they owned even fewer Monster Realms.
Now indeed was the best opportunity.
Clearly, Nine Tails did not wish to sever ties with the Immortal World.
In the Monster Immortal Realm, there were quite a few Demon Immortals like Nine Tails.
However, these Demon Immortals’ strength was not formidable enough, and they didn’t have the right to speak, nor could they decide the overall situation.
Many more Demon Immortals had already decided to break away from the Immortal World and join forces with the Demon Immortal Realm to grow stronger.
“Qing, I have contacted some Demon Immortals. They still have a hundred years before they act. We should take the opportunity on the day they make their move to stop them, although the hope is slim.”
Decades later, Nine Tails said.
“No matter, leave it to me.”
Qin Changqing said.
A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, at the heart of the Monster Immortal Realm, atop a massive High Mountain, it was incredibly lively.
Many Demon Immortals gathered here.
Above all the Demon Immortals were the territories of the many Great Luo and Taiyi.
Even higher was the domain of the Monster Immortal Realm’s Half-Saints and Quasi-Saints.
There weren’t a few Half-Saints among the Monster Immortal Realm, and today, there were no less than nine who appeared.
At the very top, was the Blood Lion Demon Lord whom Qin Changqing had seen before.
This fellow’s true form was indeed quite massive, with blood-colored hair that was alarmingly striking.
“The people are assembled, initiate the move, Blood Lion Demon Lord,” a Half-Saint Demon Fairy roared after glancing around.
“Hold on.”
At that moment, a voice rang out.
The one who spoke was none other than Nine Tails.
Nine Tails led the Demon Immortals in their revolt.
But among these rebellious Demon Immortals, aside from her, the strongest was only at the Great Luo level.
For instance, a gigantic White Snake, which was also at the Great Luo level, could indeed achieve Pseudo-Saint status for a short time but was still far from becoming a Half-Saint.
Great Luo might be weak compared to “Saint,” but in reality, they were extremely formidable beings.
“Nine Tails, do you have any objection?” a Semi-Saint of the demon race said discontentedly.
“I believe that severing ties completely with the Immortal World is unwise. The Demon Immortals are incredibly cunning; becoming too close to them is not a good thing,” Nine Tails said.
“What you say doesn’t count in this matter,” retorted another Semi-Saint from the demon race.
“Hmph, a mere fox dares to spout such nonsense. Take a hit from me first!” At that moment, a gigantic Golden Roc, without a second word, flapped its wings and struck at Nine Tails.
The temperaments of the Demon Immortals were mostly volatile. For them, resorting to fighting at a moment’s notice had become the norm.
Nine Tails’ expression turned cold, and she raised her hand.
“Boom!”
It was seen that the attack of the Half-Saint Golden Roc was instantly shattered, its gaze turned bewildered, and then it was blasted away by Nine Tails’ counterattack.
“Quasi-Saint!”
“Nine Tails has actually reached the Quasi-Saint level!”
This strike from Nine Tails shocked many of the Demon Immortals.
For Demon Immortals, progressing to Half-Saint or to Quasi-Saint was not easy.
Although it seemed that there were many Half-Saint Demon Immortals here, not inferior in number to the Half-Saints of the Immortal World,
the truth was that many of these Half-Saint Demon Immortals had endured countless years before they finally reached the Half-Saint level.
Half-Saints from the Immortal World of the same era had long since become Quasi-Saints, while they were still at the Half-Saint level…
This is why there actually were more Half-Saints in the Monster Immortal Realm than in the Immortal World.
But this abundance was futile; there were more Quasi-Saints and even more Saints in the Immortal World.
Now, Nine Tails had silently become a Quasi-Saint.
How could this not astonish the many Demon Immortals.
