Chapter 1391 - 265: The Deal

Chapter 1391: Chapter 265: The Deal

"Rest assured, my friend. I have already advanced in the Immortal Dao methodologies ahead of you. It holds no meaning to deceive you.

Moreover, with the Human Clan Imperial Court and the Central Profound Realm at peace, rekindling conflict over this matter would benefit neither of us."

Shen Changqing smiled faintly.

At these words,

The powerful figure who had been skeptical nodded quietly.

Even if peers such as them existed in the outside world, in terms of foundation, it’s impossible to compare with the Central Profound Realm.

If the ties are indeed severed, the outcome would be mutual destruction.

Furthermore,

The losses outside would surely exceed those of the Central Profound Realm.

Of course,

With such a supreme being present, the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces are no longer confident in subduing them.

If they can’t suppress them, annihilating humans outside holds no effect.

Contrarily,

Without the restraint of outside humans, they would only become more erratic.

At that time, it would be a nightmare for the entire Central Profound Realm.

It is precisely because of this that the powerhouses of the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces chose not to engage and instead pursued peace negotiations.

While everyone was lost in thought, Slaughter Immortal God was the first to throw out four jade stones: "These are the four sect-defining ultimate techniques of the Immortal Ascension Sect, exchanged for your Immortal Dao methodologies!"

"Refreshing!"

Shen Changqing readily grabbed the four jade stones. A mere sweep of his Divine Sense was enough to verify the contents.

Then, taking out blank jade stones from his storage ring, he infused them with the corresponding Immortal Dao methodologies and tossed them over.

"These are the Immortal Dao methodologies. Keep them well, Sect Master Lu."

Slaughter Immortal God caught the jade stones and immediately read them with his Divine Sense.

A moment later,

Recovered from the vast information, his once calm face showed a hint of wonder: "It’s not without reason that the Ancient Imperial Court could dominate the heavens; the Immortal Dao methodologies are indeed profoundly intricate."

Even with his own vast experience, he found the Immortal Dao methodologies astonishing.

Yet,

Slaughter Immortal God had his doubts: "Why do the Immortal Dao methodologies only concern the Cave Heaven Realm? If I’m not mistaken, in Immortal Dao terms, the Cave Heaven Realm is merely equivalent to the God Realm of Faith Divine Path."

As these words fell,

Everyone who intended to make an exchange suddenly changed their expressions.

What does this mean!

The Cave Heaven Realm is merely equivalent to the God Realm.

If so, then what’s the point of the exchange?

"Indeed, the Immortal Dao methodologies stop at the Cave Heaven Realm because any further advancement requires understanding beyond mere methodologies. When you open the Cave Heaven, you will naturally comprehend it."

Sensing their reactions, Shen Changqing was already prepared.

Slaughter Immortal God pondered aloud: "May I boldly ask, what realm do you currently inhabit?"

"I’ve merely opened a Cave Heaven."

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, replying calmly.

These words caused a stir among the crowd.

"Opening Cave Heaven!"

Slaughter Immortal God’s pupils contracted sharply. Having obtained the true Immortal Dao methodologies, he understood that the Cave Heaven Realm was equivalent merely to the God Realm.

Hence,

He assumed Shen Changqing had surpassed the Cave Heaven Realm; otherwise, how could he possess such power?

However, what surprised Slaughter Immortal God was that the other party was merely in the Cave Heaven state.

Instantly,

The importance he placed on the Immortal Dao methodologies increased substantially.

Shen Changqing said, "The profoundness of the Immortal Dao methodologies is beyond your imagination. Though the Cave Heaven Realm equates to the God Realm of the Faith Divine Path, the power wielded grows ever mightier.

Should you truly enter the realm of Opening Cave Heaven, crushing the God Realm would be as effortless as crushing ants."

Hiss!

Everyone drew in a breath of cold air.

They didn’t doubt the truth of Shen Changqing’s words, for he had already demonstrated it through actions.

What truly astonished them was the might of the Immortal Dao methodologies.

"Of course, the Immortal Dao methodologies do surpass the Divine Path in power, but equally, the difficulty in cultivation also increases. Yet, those who can master it to perfection will wield unimaginable strength."

Shen Changqing stated solemnly.

In his view, the Cave Heaven Realm might be akin to the God Realm of the Divine Path, but beyond it lies territories unforeseeable by traditional realms.

For instance,

Prior to Opening Cave Heaven, there might be divine prodigies within the Myriad Clans that matched.

But once the Cave Heaven is opened, no prodigy stands a chance.

Thus,

The Cave Heaven Realm is split into two stages: the former involves unlocking hidden treasures, akin to the God Realm; the latter, Opening Cave Heaven, elevates it to another dimension.

Nonetheless,

Shen Changqing did not dwell much on these distinctions.

Real mastery lies in one’s true strength, not just the labels of realms.

"Anyone else wishing to exchange for Immortal Dao methodologies?"

Shen Changqing glanced at the others.

In the next moment,

From the Kunlun Sect, Qing Wei equally threw out four jade stones: "The Kunlun Sect exchanges for Immortal Dao methodologies!"

"Very well!"

Shen Changqing accepted the sect-defining ultimate techniques and then handed over jade stones containing the Immortal Dao methodologies to them.

With the Immortal Ascension Sect and Kunlun Sect initiating exchanges, other forces couldn’t sit still.

"The Heavenly Dao Sect exchanges for Immortal Dao methodologies!"

"Falling Flower Sect, exchange for Immortal Dao Methodologies!"

"Shangqing Sect, exchange for Immortal Dao Methodologies!"

"Biyun Palace..."

People from the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces all took action to exchange for the corresponding Immortal Dao Methodologies.

Although the four sect-defining ultimate techniques were many, they could still be brought out in comparison to their foundation.

Immortal Dao Methodologies are powerful.

If other forces possess it and they do not, over time, a gap will surely widen.

"Transference Divine Palace also wishes to exchange for Immortal Dao Methodologies!"

Just when the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces were exchanging for Immortal Dao Methodologies, an aged voice rang out.

Everyone followed the voice and saw two people arrive through the air.

One old and one young.

The younger one was none other than Wen Tianchou.

Only now, when he looked at Shen Changqing, there was no longer any arrogance, only reverence for a strong person.

During the Dragon Platform.

He thought his opponent was a peer like him, which is why he dared to be arrogant.

But now.

Wen Tianchou understood that this was someone he could only look up to.

To fight against the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces and remain unscathed, forcing them to negotiate, is truly terrifyingly powerful.

"Ji Quan!"

Upon seeing the elder, Li Gu slightly narrowed his eyes.

"So you’re still alive."

"As long as Biyun Palace is not destroyed, how could this Divine King bear to die? Li Gu, the hatred for Transference Divine Palace’s destruction, I will never forget. As long as I live, I will make Biyun Palace pay!"

Ji Quan sneered.

Upon hearing this.

Li Gu’s eyes turned cold: "I’m not afraid of you. Back then, the mighty Transference Divine Palace was destroyed. How can a lingering Divine King like you have any qualifications to contend with Biyun Palace?"

Biyun Palace’s entry into the Twelve Palaces back then was because of eliminating Transference Divine Palace.

Now, when enemies meet, it is particularly intense.

However.

He wasn’t too worried.

Biyun Palace is now at its peak, with powerful figures as numerous as clouds, much stronger than Transference Divine Palace ever was. Even a surviving Divine King poses no threat, let alone a revived Transference Divine Palace.

Upon seeing Ji Quan, all he felt was murderous intent.

Even if Biyun Palace doesn’t fear the other, allowing them to exist is always a hidden threat.

Only by exterminating them completely can one truly rest easy.

"To deal with your Biyun Palace, I alone am enough!"

Ji Quan spoke without fear, and as he did, a surge of Qi Mechanism leaked from his body, causing Li Gu’s face to change.

Universe Divine King!

No, it was not just a simple Universe Divine King.

He vaguely sensed a mysterious aura on the other.

While Li Gu was shocked, other experts from the Five Sects glanced at Ji Quan with flickering eyes.

"Well, who would’ve thought after so many years, a strong figure in Transference Divine Palace has already touched the Fourth Realm of God King, quite impressive indeed!"

Qing Wei nodded, with a tone of appreciation.

As a true Fourth Realm of God King himself, how could he not discern the state Ji Quan was in.

Enlightened in the rules, though not yet truly breaking through to officially enter the Fourth Realm of God King, he was at the peak of the Third Realm of God King.

Just one opportunity.

He could officially break through and join the ranks of top Divine Kings.

No one expected that strong figures still existed in the fallen Transference Divine Palace.

Even Wen Tianchou, standing beside Ji Quan, wore a face of unexpected shock.

In his impression.

His master, though a God Realm expert, had always kept a low profile, giving the impression of not being very strong.

Wen Tianchou thought he was merely a Heaven and Earth Divine King, or at most a Sun and Moon Divine King.

Now, after hearing Qing Wei’s words, he suddenly realized.

He had been too naive.

His own master was qualified to be among the top Divine Kings.

On the other hand.

Li Gu’s desire to kill surged.

Biyun Palace and Transference Divine Palace had deep-seated hatred, and with Ji Quan revealing his presence, Li Gu felt threatened.

Moreover, during the Hidden Dragon Assembly, Wen Tianchou’s displayed talent was equally fearsome.

If these two weren’t killed, Biyun Palace would find no peace.

However.

Li Gu refrained from making a move now.

With the powerful figures of the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces gathered, any rash action could implicate the entire Biyun Palace.

Though they appeared as a united front against external forces, the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces were far from a monolith.

The intricate power struggles meant many factions awaited Biyun Palace’s fall from the Twelve Palaces’ ranks.

Therefore.

Eradicating the remnants of Transference Divine Palace would require another time.

Shen Changqing looked at Ji Quan and said calmly, "Anyone who can provide four sect-defining ultimate techniques can exchange for Immortal Dao Methodologies."

"Transference Divine Palace has declined for a long time, and only the Godslayer Saber Art remains as a sect-defining ultimate technique."

"A single sect-defining ultimate technique can’t be exchanged for a complete Immortal Dao Methodology."

"This old man understands perfectly, which is why I wish to propose a different kind of exchange with your esteemed self to obtain the Immortal Dao Methodologies."

Ji Quan smiled on his aged face, as if he had long been prepared.
