Chapter 3682 The Sands of Time
It was only a fleeting moment.
Venerable Qingyao's expression returned to normal.
She smiled calmly: "Treasures belong to the capable. I know I am no match for Sect Master Shen, so this Divine Sand of Time naturally belongs to Sect Master Shen."
These words.
Venerable Qingyao spoke very frankly.
During the battle to annihilate the King of Evil, she already understood that Shen Changqing's strength was beyond her ability to handle.
Moreover.
Just finished a battle.
An opponent that even he himself could hardly suppress was severely injured and defeated by Shen Changqing with thunderous force.
Judging from how easily the opponent defeated Pei Yuan, it shouldn't be too difficult for this person to deal with him.
Although Venerable Qingyao highly valued the Divine Sand of Time.
But compared to one's own life, so-called treasures are insignificant.
Moreover.
She didn't want to have a falling out with Shen Changqing.
Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing gave Venerable Qingyao a deep look. Once he was certain that the other party had no intention of seizing the Divine Sand of Time, he decided not to waste any more time.
"In that case, I shall take my leave!"
"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment!"
"Is there anything else, Fellow Daoist Qingyao?"
Shen Changqing looked at the other person, his brows furrowing slightly.
Venerable Qingyao said, "Now that the Chaos Spirit Embryo has been born, I know that you are quite powerful, so I would like to ask you to help my Xuanji Immortal Sect obtain this treasure."
Of course, our sect will not let you make your efforts for nothing.
If you are willing to help me obtain the treasure, our sect will offer a hundred top-grade immortal stones as a reward!
Even if we cannot obtain the Chaos Embryo, our sect is willing to offer fifty top-grade immortal stones as compensation!
This sentence.
This caused Shen Changqing's expression to shift slightly.
One hundred top-grade immortal stones.
For a fleeting moment, he did feel a flutter in his heart.
but--
Looking at Venerable Qingyao, Shen Changqing finally shook his head.
"I cannot agree to Fellow Daoist Qingyao's proposal."
Why?
Venerable Qingyao blurted it out almost immediately, but she quickly realized that she had asked a stupid question.
The fact that the Taiyi Holy Land was able to get this person to take action shows that he is not someone who is afraid of trouble.
Moreover, the Xuanji Immortal Sect is now willing to offer a hundred top-grade immortal stones, and even if they fail, they will still receive half of the top-grade immortal stones. There is absolutely no reason for them to refuse.
after all--
Top-grade immortal stones are extremely rare.
This level of immortal stone is no less than some rare and precious natural treasures at the semi-saint level.
Now that the other party has refused, there is probably only one possibility left.
This person also had some ideas about the Chaos Embryo.
The thought popped into her head, but Venerable Qingyao suppressed it again.
impossible!
With so many semi-saints at present, even though the Xuan Tian Sword Master is quite powerful, it is unlikely that he can obtain the Chaos Spirit Embryo.
However, since Shen Changqing refused, Venerable Qingyao could not force him.
"Since you are unwilling, I will not force you. However, after this matter is over, I would like to invite you to the Xuanji Immortal Sect."
It just so happens that my Xuanji Immortal Sect also has some matters that I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Shen for help with.
"Of course, I won't let Sect Master Shen work for nothing. Whether it's top-grade immortal stones, other cultivation resources, or even longevity inheritance, the Xuanji Immortal Sect can provide it!"
"I will consider this matter further and then give you an answer, fellow Daoist."
This time, Shen Changqing did not refuse outright.
In this regard.
Venerable Qingyao did not force him too much.
"Very well, then I will await your good news, fellow Daoist!"
The words were spoken.
Venerable Qingyao had already turned and left.
The other party left without hesitation, clearly having completely given up on the idea of obtaining the Sand of Time.
Seeing the other party leave, Shen Changqing narrowed his eyes. Only after Venerable Qingyao disappeared from sight did he turn his gaze to the Divine Sand of Time in his hand.
"The Sands of Time... I thought this was a legendary treasure, but I never expected it to actually exist!"
Thinking of the rumors about the Sand of Time, Shen Changqing smiled.
The so-called "sand of time".
There are also different ranks.
One can determine a person's rank simply by observing the height of its Dao patterns.
From low to high.
It is divided into the first-stage Time-Reversing Divine Sand, and even the highest-stage Nine-stage Time-Reversing Divine Sand.
Like the sand of time before my eyes, it's just a series of patterns, the worst kind.
Even so, this kind of Time-Reversing Divine Sand is enough to have an effect on cultivators at the half-saint level and below.
Its function is also very simple.
That is to manipulate time to turn back the clock.
Give a simple example.
If one refines the Divine Sand of Time, then a cultivator may be able to activate the power of this treasure at any time, allowing their own time to rewind to a moment ago.
In a fleeting moment.
It doesn't seem long.
However, in combat, they often play a decisive role.
If used properly, it is equivalent to having a second life.
Or perhaps...
Shen Changqing was able to use the Time-Destroying Sand to his full strength twice with the Soul-Destroying Sword.
this--
That is the terror of the Sands of Time.
Although such treasures cannot change all of time, but only reverse the cultivator's own time, they can still be considered heaven-defying treasures.
to be frank.
Shen Changqing never expected to see such a treasure that could reverse the passage of time here.
This is why he wanted to obtain the Sands of Time.
"The first transformation of the Divine Sand of Time is already so heaven-defying; if it were to transform to the second or even the third time, it would only become more powerful."
However, such treasures are rare, and for some cultivators who need them, they are even more useful than the Chaos Spirit Embryo.
External things are ultimately just external things; compared to one's own life, they are naturally far inferior!
Shen Changqing played with the Time Sand in his hand. Without hesitation, he immediately used his divine soul power to refine this treasure.
The refining process was not complicated, and Shen Changqing had successfully refined it in no time.
The moment the Sand of Time was refined, he felt his soul ripple slightly, as if a subtle change had occurred, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Simultaneously.
The sands of time seem to have vanished.
Shen Changqing could clearly sense the other party's presence.
It seems that as long as he has a thought, he can fully activate the power of the Sands of Time.
but.
Shen Changqing had no intention of giving it a try.
This is a life-saving measure for critical moments and should never be used lightly.
"With the Sands of Time as my trump card, I now have another means of survival. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that I can activate the Soul-Destroying Sword twice in a short period of time is enough to intimidate a cultivator at the Half-Saint Realm."
As long as a sage doesn't appear, there's not much of a problem.
Shen Changqing felt much more at ease.
The more of these life-saving trump cards you have, the better.
to be frank.
Shen Changqing never expected that the Sand of Time could exist here.
Although he had already scanned the continent with his divine sense before entering it, the map of the continent and many rare and precious materials were imprinted in his sea of consciousness.
However, this approach always leaves some gaps.
Like the sands of time, which are among them.
With the Sands of Time.
In Shen Changqing's opinion, the trip was worthwhile.
With such a treasure in hand, other rare and precious materials could hardly tempt him anymore.
Now it has come to this.
The only thing Shen Changqing cared about was the Chaos Spirit Embryo.
He glanced at the chaotic void, where half-saints were fighting fiercely, and any cultivator who obtained the Chaos Spirit Embryo would immediately become the target of everyone's attacks.
Among the dozens of half-saints, several were experts who had reached the ninth tribulation level.
Below the ninth tribulation, there are quite a few semi-saints who have undergone seven or eight tribulations.
The Xuanji Immortal Sect.
Two semi-saints have joined forces and are currently engaged in a bloody battle with other forces. Both sides have a simple goal: to compete for the Chaos Embryo and also to find ways to eliminate some rivals.
This battle.
It is not only a battle for the Chaos Embryo, but also a battle to settle old scores between various factions.
Shen Changqing glanced at it briefly before looking away.
"It's not the right time yet!"
Although the various semi-saints are currently engaged in fierce battles, they have not yet reached the point of being completely exhausted.
Making a move at this time would put me under immense pressure.
and so.
All Shen Changqing had to do was wait.
Wait for the right opportunity before taking action.
But before that, Shen Changqing did not waste any extra time and continued to collect other rare and precious materials.
However, with the Timeless Sand and Pearls of Jade preceding him, other rare and precious materials could hardly cause him any psychological fluctuations.
Moreover.
This continent is full of wonders.
However, only a very small number of rare and precious materials can truly reach the level of a semi-saint.
Most of the rare and precious materials are only at the level of Immortal Emperors.
Such rare and precious materials are of little use to Shen Changqing at this point.
Collecting these rare and precious materials will at most only enhance the strength of the sect's cultivators.
But having said that.
After a thorough search,
Shen Changqing obtained more than a dozen rare and precious materials.
Most of these rare and precious materials were useless to him.
Only a few things caught Shen Changqing's attention.
among them--
Therefore, there is the existence of the innate Geng metal.
As a top-tier ore for refining magical artifacts, innate Gengjin is also divided into different levels.
The worst innate Geng metal can only be used to forge ancient immortal artifacts, while the best innate Geng metal is sufficient to forge innate imperial weapons.
The innate Gengjin that Shen Changqing obtained was a top-tier immortal mine, sufficient to forge an innate imperial weapon.
He was naturally tempted by treasures of this caliber.
If used properly, Shen Changqing is confident that he can forge another innate imperial weapon in the future.
No one would complain about having too many treasures of this caliber.
Of course.
To forge an innate imperial weapon, relying solely on a top-tier artifact is insufficient; other treasures must also be collected to truly complete the forging process.
However, with the innate Geng metal as the main material, collecting the treasures needed later will be much easier.
……
Several years.
Shen Changqing traveled all over the mainland.
The further he went, the fewer rare and precious materials he collected.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Too many cultivators have entered this continent, and with so many cultivators vying for them, countless rare and precious materials have been looted.
Later on, the other cultivators stopped searching for rare and precious materials and instead began hunting other cultivators.
After all, all the rare and precious materials have been swept away, and other cultivators most likely possess such treasures. As long as these cultivators are hunted down, there should be a considerable harvest.
to this end.
Some short-sighted Immortal Emperors also set their sights on Shen Changqing.
In this way...
Shen Changqing had acquired even more rare and precious materials, which was an unexpected bonus.
