219: Nine Lights Immortal King (I wish you all a happy National Day. Well, tomorrow, I will be happy every day.)Taiyin Dao Earth?

He casually tapped to open the Restriction on the monthly report, and some information about Taiyin Dao Earth emerged.

One of the two major Dao Earths in the Northern Region, its sphere of influence is adjacent to the Exquisite Dao Land. Its Dao Master, the Taiyin Immortal Lord, is known as the number one beauty of the Zhongyuan Continent.

As for the cause of the conflict between the two major Dao Earths this time, it was the appearance of a Netherworld crack at the border of the Northern and Eastern Regions.

The area of the Netherworld that the crack led to contained the ruins of a vast kingdom. On a High Altar for Heaven Worship within the ruins, there was a well-preserved statue of the Nine Luminaries Immortal King.

Netherworld?

Qin Jiang was somewhat surprised. He hadn’t specifically looked for information in this regard before, and he didn’t expect the Zhongyuan Continent to actually have records concerning the Netherworld.

But thinking about it, it was normal. Since the Human Emperor of the past could set foot in the Netherworld in Shenzhou, and the Zhongyuan Continent was even more prosperous than Shenzhou, it was naturally no exception.

He tapped on the Restriction regarding the Netherworld in the monthly report. Since it wasn’t the main content, there were only some basic explanations.

The Netherworld is located deep underground in the Zhongyuan Continent. Exactly how deep it is remains unknown. It is only known that if one goes deep enough underground, there is a chance to enter the Netherworld.

But it’s hard to say whose head this chance would fall upon.

Furthermore, the various parts of the Netherworld do not seem to be completely interconnected. Many Netherworld ruins exist in isolation; going to the Netherworld doesn’t mean one can reach the specific Netherworld ruin they desire.

Some Netherworld ruins are not dangerous, and sometimes opportunities appear.

But most Netherworld ruins are filled with poisonous miasmas and even contain ancient, bizarre creatures. A slight lapse in caution can lead to death and the dissipation of one’s Dao, and even True Immortals are no exception.

Occasionally, Netherworld cracks appear, allowing direct entry from the Zhongyuan Continent into the Netherworld, just like the Nine Luminaries Immortal King Netherworld ruin that appeared this time.

According to the explanation by the author of this report in the monthly publication, usually such Netherworld ruins rarely attract the attention of Dao Earths.

However, this time was a bit different; a heavenly treasure existed within this Netherworld ruin.

The so-called heavenly treasures are a general term for the legacy treasures of Immortal Kings. Even experts at the Immortal Lord level would be moved by them.

And the heavenly treasure that appeared this time is actually...

At this point, there was a Restriction. It required payment to view, with a price of one hundred source crystals.

Qin Jiang stared at that Restriction, stunned. A superposition of a transmission Formation and an activation Formation for a specific serial number?

And they were all ultra-miniature?

The person who laid down this Restriction was definitely a Grand Sage of Array Dao! A Grandmaster would be unable to achieve the superposition of ultra-miniature Formations.

A Grand Sage of Array Dao would actually do such a thing for a few source crystals?

It seemed his understanding of the Zhongyuan Continent was still a bit too limited.

After a moment of silence—actually, with his attainment in the Array Dao, he could completely ignore the Restriction and force it open directly.

But he couldn’t bring himself to do such a thing just for a hundred source crystals.

He took out a standard unit of Divine Crystal, equivalent to a hundred source crystals, and touched the Restriction with his fingertip.

The Divine Crystal vanished instantly, and a sleazy laugh came from within the Restriction.

”Congratulations to Deity Number 35628 for becoming a member of the Zhongyuan Newspaper Agency. Your current rank is Spirit Rank Level One.”

”If you have any objections to the items sold within the Restriction, you may apply for a refund or file a complaint at your local branch of the Zhongyuan Newspaper Agency.”

”The Emperor Ancestor Dynasty’s Zhongyuan Newspaper Agency is dedicated to serving you.”

After the laughter subsided, a recorded image appeared from a distant perspective.

The sky was grey, occasionally spewing out mist, and within the mist were greyish-white substances like sand.

Looking closely, those were actually tiny greyish-white insects.

They looked like the skeletal form of dung beetles, but their heads were triangular and hollow inside, with a slightly pulsating brain semi-exposed to the mist. An almost invisible red silk thread grew out from the brain, twisting and waving in the mist.

Beneath the boundless white mist was a dilapidated kingdom, vast and infinite, spreading out along the undulating mountain ranges, far exceeding the capital of the Xia Kingdom.

At the edge of a mountain range, an altar rose from the ground, covering an area of over a hundred thousand square meters. A statue stood over a thousand meters high, almost level with the mountain range.

The statue held a stone disc in its left hand, while its right hand was slightly extended forward, palm up and completely empty.

Suddenly, Qin Jiang’s eyes moved slightly, his gaze lingering on that empty palm where a speck of blue light caught his eye.

Then, the image zoomed in to clearly see the blue light. It was a palm-sized deep blue jade bead, with points of fluorescence inside, like the brilliant stars in the night sky as evening approaches.

This lasted for about fifteen minutes before a cloud of greyish-white smoke dove down from above, and the recorded image came to an abrupt end.

Golden text appeared, providing an introduction to that deep blue jade bead.

nine luminaries star nucleus, an Immortal King legacy treasure, can help an Immortal Lord temper an Immortal King Body.

There was only a short line of text, yet it couldn’t help but leave Qin Jiang somewhat shocked.

At the Immortal Lord level, also known as a quasi-Immortal King, one is already the existence closest to the Immortal King level in this world.

Cultivation at this level consists of nothing more than three points: the Law of Time, the immortal soul, and the Immortal Body.

People like the Exquisite Immortal Lord and the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign have already cultivated all three to their limits. They have only stopped at the Immortal Lord realm because they are not confident in surviving the Immortal King Tribulation.

The Immortal King Tribulation has been rare since ancient times, with only six recorded instances in the last three million years.

Without exception, all ended in death and the dissipation of their Dao.

Of the Dao Earths where these six Immortal Lords belonged, two were demoted to Holy Lands, three were carved up and devoured by rivals, and the remaining one was a Loose Cultivator Immortal Lord of mysterious origin.

There is too much to consider when crossing the Immortal King Tribulation, especially for super-hegemons like the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty and the Exquisite Dao Land, which each dominate an entire region.

Such a situation is also very rare in the records.

Naturally, there was more to consider. They were already not confident in surviving the Immortal King Tribulation, and after becoming preoccupied with worldly concerns, they were naturally even less so.

Among these three, the Law of Time and the immortal soul influence each other and cannot be enhanced through external forces.

Only the Immortal Body can use certain rare items to seek a slim chance of survival under the Immortal King Tribulation.

This nine luminaries star nucleus is one such rare item, rumored to have been left behind when the Nine Luminaries Immortal King ascended to heaven.

There are nine in total; six have appeared, and this should be the seventh.

But perhaps it might even be the last one.

The function of the nine luminaries star nucleus is simple: it transforms the user’s Physical Body into the Nine Luminaries Sacred Physique, which can draw upon the power of the stars in the sky to temper the Physical Body.

If it is an expert at the Immortal Lord level, there is a certain chance of elevating the Physical Body to a degree comparable to an Immortal King Physique.

In this way, the chance of surviving the Immortal King Tribulation will be greatly increased.

Qin Jiang nodded inwardly. No wonder it could cause a conflict between two major Dao Earths; this was a treasure capable of influencing the future.

Even if one couldn’t get it for themselves, they couldn’t let it fall to others.

However, he didn’t care about this; it was just an Immortal King Body.

It wasn’t that he thought too highly of himself; he even felt his thoughts were a bit conservative.

Once he survived the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, his Physical Body might not be able to rival an Immortal King Body, but when he stepped into the Late-Stage, it would certainly not be even a fraction weaker than a so-called Immortal King Body.

For no other reason than his foundation being far too profound.

Looking at that statue, what he really cared about was actually the statue itself.

The era when the Nine Luminaries Immortal King ascended to heaven can no longer be determined, and almost all records concerning him have vanished into the long river of history.

But all existing records, without exception, describe the Nine Luminaries Immortal King’s immortal light illuminating the sea of stars, as the Lord of the Stars and the Sovereign of the Earth, who once received the worship of the Ten Thousand Races.

For the statue of such an existence to receive worship within this vast kingdom...

Would there be Potential Points? There was a high probability there would be, right?

If there were, given the endless lifespan of an Immortal King, how many years of accumulation would that be?
