Tian Haoran

Inside the Heavenly Dao Palace.

"Palace Master Tian, here are a total of one million low-grade Longevity Pills. Each pill can extend one's lifespan by thirty days. There are also one hundred thousand inferior-grade Longevity Pills and ten thousand medium-grade Longevity Pills."

The immortals of the Jiang family personally escorted the pills here for the transaction.

"The total comes to 3.3 million premium spirit stones, which can be converted into 3,300 immortal-grade spirit stones!"

Leading the group was the Third Patriarch of the Jiang family. His cultivation had now completely stabilized at the realm of a Four-Tribulation Immortal Lord, and his lifespan was incredibly abundant. Beside him were several Three-Tribulation Immortal Masters from the Jiang family. The life essence of these Jiang family patriarchs was extremely vigorous—so vigorous that it was simply outrageous.

A Three-Tribulation Immortal Master, even at their peak, would normally only have a lifespan of a little over two hundred thousand years. However, every single one of them had a lifespan starting at three hundred thousand years. There was even an old Two-Tribulation True Immortal whose lifespan fluctuations had reached a terrifying six hundred thousand years!

Many immortals of the Jiang family had learned the trick of stacking infinite lifespans from Lao Ba. After all, Jiang Che's internal supply of low-grade Longevity Pills to the Jiang family was practically limitless now. Every immortal had millions of them in their storage spaces... However, because the taste was extremely awful—so awful that it acted as a conceptual-level attack on the divine soul—even the immortals were helpless against it.

But now... they had learned a new method of attack: burning their lifespan!

Hundreds of thousands of years of lifespan, ready to be detonated at will!

A Three-Tribulation Immortal Master could frantically burn their lifespan, pushing their cultivation level straight toward that of a Four-Tribulation Immortal Lord!

"Good! Here are the 3,300 immortal-grade spirit stones!"

Tian Haoran tossed out a storage bag. Inside the bag, a massive pile of spirit stones of various colors, radiating premium immortal light, lay impressively.

A few thousand immortal-grade spirit stones. In the past, the Nine Heavens Auction House had auctioned off an ownerless Sixth-Tier Immortal Emperor Weapon for only a thousand immortal-grade spirit stones.

This amount of premium spirit stones was enough to buy three Six-Tribulation Immortal Weapons.

The Third Patriarch of the Jiang family took the spirit stone bag and scanned it with his divine sense. It was exactly 3,300 stones, no more, no less. "Palace Master Tian is truly generous!"

Tian Haoran's expression remained calm as she tossed out another storage bag. "Inside are Chaotic Green Lotus Seeds, three in total. They can perfectly complement the Chaotic Immortal Body!"

The Third Patriarch narrowed his eyes. "Chaotic Green Lotus Seeds?"

As expected, the rumored rarest half-step Dao medicine in the Nine Heavens, the Chaotic Green Lotus, was truly in the Heavenly Dao Palace.

Legend had it that the Chaotic Green Lotus was one of the immortal medicines split from the Primordial Myriad Tribulation Lotus, one of the three supreme Dao medicines of the Ancient Heavenly Court during the primordial era. Even though the Primordial Myriad Tribulation Lotus had been divided into six parts, it was still classified as a half-step Dao medicine.

"These Chaotic Green Lotus Seeds are given to Young Master Jiang in my personal capacity. I hope that in our future collaborations... he can work closely with my Heavenly Dao Palace."

"Rest assured, Palace Master Tian. Although our young master cannot be called a great saint, he will absolutely not ignore the myriad lives of the Nine Heavens."

The Third Patriarch didn't forget to flatter Jiang Che.

Tian Haoran: "......"

Hehe, what kind of good person charges an eleven-fold premium?

After receiving the Longevity Pills, Tian Haoran began to calculate.

"Currently, there are over 470 immortals participating in the Heavenly Dao Evil-Slaying Decree. One medium-grade Longevity Pill can extend a lifespan by a hundred years..."

"There are also over 30,000 Emperor-level experts. This is still just a drop in the bucket!"

As she calculated, she rubbed her temples. Since the immortals were participating in the war, they would definitely establish military merits. Casually slaying a few evil spirits would earn them countless merits. According to the rules, they would need to be rewarded with at least a thousand years of lifespan.

The number of Emperors far exceeded her expectations. Currently, there were over 30,000 registered Emperors, and those who signed up to fight on the Nine Heavens Network had already surpassed 100,000.

With this wave of the Evil-Slaying War, the Heavenly Dao Palace was probably going to go completely bankrupt.

But that wasn't important!

As she thought about it, a glimmer of light ignited in Tian Haoran's eyes.

What she cultivated was the Righteous Dao; naturally, she had to prioritize the common people of the world.

Tian Haoran slowly raised her gaze and looked at a portrait hanging in the great hall.

A woman in a white robe, her long hair cascading down, was surrounded by the true intent of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Above her head hung the origin of the Great Dao of Reincarnation. Behind her followed countless followers, all of whom were Immortals and Emperors, and before them was an endless black mist.

The Human Emperor!

The person she admired the most! If she had been born in the same era as her, between the two of them... who would be stronger?

"Human Emperor, if you were facing this situation, what would you do?"

Her beautiful face was incredibly pious.

......

"Ji Qingyi!!! You're finished, haha!!!"

"I heard that the Heavenly Dao Palace in the Nine Heavens has issued the Heavenly Dao Evil-Slaying Decree, specifically to kill you, you old witch, muahaha!"

In the abyss of the Demon Palace, the Human Emperor grinned and burst into loud laughter.

After hundreds of thousands of years, she finally heard some great news!

However, Ji Qingyi's face remained calm. She sat on a bluestone, gazing into the distance. In the distance were divine mountains and immortal waterfalls shrouded in clouds and mist, resembling an immortal estate.

Yet, flashes of daytime lightning occasionally flickered in the sky above. The entire world changed according to the shifts in her mood.

"Muahaha, are you angry??? Hahaha, Ji Qingyi, you'd better let me go, or I'll curse you with bloody bad luck!"

Facing the wild ranting of this Human Emperor, Ji Qingyi slowly turned her head. "Do you think... I would be afraid of a mere group of ants?"

The woman's tone was flat, as if she were stating an extremely ordinary fact.

The Human Emperor stopped talking mid-curse, because what she said was indeed true. Even a supreme Immortal Emperor like herself, who grasped the origin of the Dao of Reincarnation, had fallen into Ji Qingyi's hands.

How glorious had she been in the past?

Grasping the origin of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, she had led a group of Immortals and Emperors in fierce battles against the evil spirit black mist. At that time, the regenerative abilities of the evil spirit plane weren't this outrageous. But because she controlled the Dao of Reincarnation, she could even resurrect fallen comrades, even resurrecting immortals.

But she was too reckless. She charged into the evil spirit abyss and was defeated and suppressed by Ji Qingyi. Now, her origin of the Dao of Reincarnation had been almost entirely refined by her.

Therefore, the abilities of the evil spirit black mist had become incredibly perverted. The Evil Spirit Dao had merged with her reincarnating and resurrecting power, allowing those evil gods to be casually fabricated.

Even she didn't know exactly what realm Ji Qingyi's current strength had reached, but one thing was certain... it was extremely terrifying!

In comparison, the Heavenly Dao Evil-Slaying Decree seemed like a joke.

"Oh right, did you know? That little girl from the Heavenly Dao Palace... is your most devout worshipper!" Ji Qingyi said something astonishing.

"You—" The Human Emperor's eyes widened instantly. After hundreds of thousands of years, she thought she had long been annihilated in the river of time and that no one would remember her anymore...

"Moreover, she has merged with the origin of the Righteous Dao. She also became an Emperor in a hundred years, an Immortal in a thousand years, and an Immortal Emperor in ten thousand years. She is... so much like you." Ji Qingyi's gaze grew profound, as if she were recalling distant memories.
