Chapter 356 - Demon Sect Competition, Venerate Realm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On this day, a guest had arrived at Heaven Enlightenment Sacred Mountain. Qi Ming was quite familiar with him. He was the Heavenly Demon Branch Master who had saved Qi Ming from Jiang Taiyu back then.

After a hundred years, the Heavenly Demon Branch Master’s injuries had long recovered, but the broken horn on his head could not recover or heal for a long time, as if it had been cut off forever.

The Heaven Demon Branch Master stopped in front of Heaven Enlightenment Hall at the top of Heaven Enlightenment Sacred Mountain. In front of Heaven Enlightenment Hall were two sculptures standing straight.

This was a Golden Immortal puppet.

One of the spoils of war that Qi Ming had obtained in the Immortal Realm game dungeon.

He had combat strength comparable to a Golden Immortal.

Qi Ming used it to guard the door.

“Senior Brother Qi.”

The Heavenly Demon Branch Master stood outside the hall and shouted, “Junior Brother is here to visit. Please open the door.”

“So it’s Junior Brother Heavenly Demon.”

Qi Ming’s voice sounded from inside, “Come in.”

The door slowly opened and a rumble sounded. The Heavenly Demon Branch Master walked in and walked along the corridor under his feet until he arrived in front of the hall.

“Please come in.” Qi Ming’s voice sounded again.

“Yes.”

The Heavenly Demon Branch Master pushed open the door of the hall and took a deep breath before walking in. What greeted his eyes was a rather empty hall.

Apart from the Heavenly Demon Branch Master, there was only Qi Ming.

“Senior Brother Qi.” The Heavenly Demon Branch Master cupped his hands and bowed.

“Junior Brother Heavenly Demon, there’s no need to be so polite.” Qi Ming smiled.

“Cough cough…” The Heavenly Demon Branch Master coughed lightly, “Senior Brother Qi, actually, I came here to tell you something. There’s still a year before the Demon Sect Competition begins.”

“Demon Sect Competition?” Qi Ming looked at the Heavenly Demon Branch Master in confusion.

The Heavenly Demon Branch Master nodded slightly and continued, “The Demon Sect Competition is a huge matter and a grand event in the Primordial Demon Sect. Every Meeting Origin (129,600 years), it will be held once.”

“In the past…”

“The strongest disciples of the 108 lineages will participate and compete together to choose the final winner. At that time, they can obtain various rewards, including but not limited to cultivation methods, divine powers, immortal treasures, immortal pills, and even listen to Lord Sect Master preach if their talent is strong enough.”

Qi Ming said, “So you want Heaven Enlightenment lineage to participate in this Demon Sect Competition?”

“That’s right.”

The Heavenly Demon Branch Master said, “Logically speaking, Senior Brother Qi, it’s only been a hundred years since you established Heaven Enlightenment lineage. There’s no need to invite Heaven Enlightenment lineage to participate at all.”

“But…”

“It’s only been a hundred years.”

“Senior Brother Qi, you actually developed Heaven Enlightenment lineage to this extent. It’s sufficient to be compared to the other 108 lineages. It really shocked the Branch Masters of our various lineages.”

“We’re extremely impressed.”

“That’s why we wanted to invite Heaven Enlightenment lineage to participate.”

“Of course, Senior Brother Qi, it’s fine if you don’t want to participate.”

“Red Dust.” Qi Ming pondered for a moment and shouted.

There was a flash.

“Greetings, Branch Master.”

Demon Buddha Red Dust appeared out of thin air. He cupped his hands and bowed to Qi Ming. Because Qi Ming had become the Branch Master of Heaven Enlightenment lineage, and Red Dust had become the Grand Elder of Heaven Enlightenment lineage, he let Red Dust change the way he addressed him.”

Qi Ming said, “You’ll be in charge of the Demon Sect Competition this time. Pick a few good seedlings from Heaven Enlightenment Sacred Mountain and let them participate in this competition.”

“Yes.” Red Dust bowed.

“Okay.” The Heavenly Demon Branch Master nodded, “Senior Brother Qi, I’ll take my leave first.”

“Wait.” Qi Ming shouted at the Heavenly Demon Branch Master, “Junior Brother Heavenly Demon, this is an Essence Restoring Immortal Pill that I luckily obtained in the past. The quality is not bad. After you consume it, you will definitely be able to recover from the injuries on your head.”

“Essence Restoring Immortal Pill.”

The Heavenly Demon Branch Master was stunned. He looked at Qi Ming and then at the immortal pill in his hand. He pondered for a moment and accepted it. He cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for the pill, Senior Brother.”

Although the Essence Restoring Immortal Pill was not an extremely high-grade immortal pill, it was a special type of immortal pill. It was mainly used to recover the missing injuries similar to the Heavenly Demon Branch Master.

Because the effect was relatively special, there were very few alchemists who refined this immortal pill, causing it to be relatively difficult to find.

In fact, with the identity and strength of the Heavenly Demon Branch Master, if he specially went to find the Essence Restoring Immortal Pill, he only needed to spend a little more time and effort to obtain it. If there was really no choice, he could even ask the Alchemist Immortal Master to specially refine it.

No matter what, in the eyes of the Heavenly Demon Branch Master, he had actually specially left this injury to remember the damage Jiang Taiyu had caused him and could not make the same mistake.

Qi Ming was the senior brother of the Heavenly Demon Branch Master after all. He had given the Essence Restoring Immortal Pill. The Heavenly Demon Branch Master naturally had to accept it.

As for whether he would consume it, that was up to the Heavenly Demon Branch Master.

“Junior Brother Heavenly Demon, has there been any movement from the Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty in the past hundred years?”

“Nothing much happened.”

The Heavenly Demon Branch Master replied, “Senior Brother, don’t worry for the time being. The power and strength of the Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty are indeed great, but they are not unified. There are internal conflicts.”

“Also…”

“In the entire Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty, besides the Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty, there are many sects, races, and other factions. They might not all listen to the orders of the Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty.”

“For example, the Dao Sect.”

“This is a powerful sect that has been passed down since the last epoch. It’s even to the extent that there were powerful sects that had existed since the last epoch.”

“You can say that their foundation is incomparably deep.”

“Unless the Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty plans to go to war with our Demon Sect, they definitely won’t dare to attack the Primordial Demon Territory. They can’t do it either.”

Qi Ming pondered for a moment.

He choosing to join the Primordial Demon Sect was indeed the best choice. This way, he could become the entry disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerate and have a huge backer. He would have a huge confidence even in the entire Nine Provinces Immortal Dynasty.

Most importantly…

Qi Ming could quickly grow under the protection of the Primordial Heavenly Venerate.

In the last hundred years, Qi Ming cultivated and opened another Great Dao immortal aperture. He used a Lesser Divine Power to condense the Great Dao Supremacy and became even stronger.

He was still a distance away from breaking through to the mid-stage Mystic Immortal realm.

“However…”

The Heavenly Demon Branch Master pondered for a moment and said, “Speaking of the Dao Sect, ten years ago, the Dao Sect suddenly opened its mountain gate and preached to the world. The mountain gate faced the entire Nine Provinces Domain.”

“In other words…”

“The Dao Sect has changed its usual standards of strictly accepting disciples and begun to accept disciples everywhere.”

“There’s movement.” Qi Ming thought to himself, “The Epoch Calamity is approaching, and the Dao Sect is beginning to become restless.”

In the last hundred years, Qi Ming had obtained the inheritance of the Primordial Heavenly Venerate from the Heavenly Celebration Cloud Umbrella. It contained a Heavenly Venerate-level cultivation method and three Great Divine Powers.

This Heavenly Venerate level cultivation method was called the Time Heavenly Venerate Technique.

There were also three Great Divine Power Techniques.

They were: Time Quintessence Technique, Time Cauldron, and Time Robe.

These were all Great Divine Powers created with the Time Rules as the foundation. Among them, the Time Quintessence Technique had even fused 129,600 laws.

This was a Great Divine Power that fused all the laws.

It had already reached the top of the Great Divine Power.

The Time Cauldron and the Time Robe were a little inferior.

However, they were also very powerful.

Although Qi Ming had not grasped the Time Rules, he had comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. As long as he used the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth as the foundation, he could cultivate all the divine power methods in the worlds.

There were no restrictions, and he did not need to comprehend the corresponding rules because the Heaven and Earth Great Dao had long included everything.

Qi Ming used the AFK Farming Software and consumed the corresponding immortal crystals. Under the enhancement of 10 billion times, he refined the three Great Divine Powers.

At the same time, through understanding and comprehending the Time Heavenly Venerate Technique, Qi Ming knew an even higher realm that surpassed the Immortal realm. It was called the Venerate realm.

They were divided into the Law Heavenly Venerate realm, the Rule Heavenly Venerate realm, and the Eternal Supremacy realm.

The three Venerate realms were divided into nine levels each.

The difference between every level was huge.

In the blink of an eye, another year later.

On this day, the Primordial Demon Sect’s Demon Sect Competition was about to begin. According to Qi Ming’s instructions, Red Dust had long selected three disciples with extremely good talent a year ago.

They were: Cao Yunfeng, Yu Yun, and Su Hao.

Now, they had already become the Dao Children of Heaven Enlightenment lineage.

A year ago, Qi Ming circulated the Chaos Great Dao Scripture and condensed the Great Dao Flower. Among the three Dao Children of Heaven Enlightenment lineage, Cao Yunfeng had absorbed 19 Great Dao Flowers, Yu Yun had absorbed 22 Great Dao Flowers, and Su Hao had absorbed a total of 24 Great Dao Flowers.

Their capacity far exceeded Gu Mingyun’s.

Back then, Gu Mingyun had only absorbed a Great Dao Flower, but it was as if he had been blessed by the heavens and the earth. He grew all the way and easily reached the Mystic Immortal realm.

Now, Cao Yunfeng, Yu Yun, and Su Hao had absorbed so many Great Dao Flowers and underwent a complete change. They were protected by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

As expected, as long as they did not die prematurely midway, they could at least step into the Immortal King realm. This was Qi Ming’s terrifying aspect.

As long as Qi Ming was willing, he could completely mass produce Immortal realm geniuses.

“Disciple Cao Yunfeng.”

“Disciple Yu Yun.”

“Disciple Su Hao.”

“Greetings, Branch Master!”

Red Dust stood at the side.

In front of Qi Ming, Cao Yunfeng, Yu Yun, and Su Hao knelt in front of Qi Ming and bowed. Their voices were respectful, and their gazes were fanatical and worshipful.

Qi Ming nodded. “Go. In this Demon Sect Competition, obtain a good ranking for Heaven Enlightenment lineage. Don’t embarrass us.”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“…”

Cao Yunfeng and the others replied in unison.

“Let’s go.” Red Dust waved his right hand and left with Cao Yunfeng and the others. Qi Ming took a glance and retracted his gaze. He continued to cultivate and increase his cultivation and strength as much as possible.

Qi Ming did not know when the Epoch Calamity would descend, but before it, he naturally wanted to increase his cultivation as much as possible.

It was best if he could break through to the Immortal King realm before the Epoch Calamity descended.

At that time, Qi Ming would be invincible in the Immortal realm.
