Terran Guardian - Chapter 3305

Chapter 3287 I don’t want to cause trouble, but I’m not afraid of it

. “I, Venerable Jueming, have sought immortality since the ancient times. I have also experienced great calamities from the ancient and prehistoric times. I have witnessed the ups and downs

of all living things, and I have also suppressed dark turmoil and provided protection.” “Now, the Immortal Cult of Immortality has reappeared, and dark turmoil has resurfaced. Countless immortal realms are in ruins, and the bloodshed is shed. Heaven and earth weep!” “I cannot bear   this

, so I have come forth to suppress the dark turmoil and save all living beings from this peril—”

Venerable Jueming’s voice echoed, his face a look of compassion. The Immortal   Emperors remained silent.   After all, beings who have reached this level are no fools. How many of these ancient beings, who have   attained the Dao, can truly harbor mercy? Therefore, they remained silent on Venerable Jueming’s words.   Seeing the silence of the many cultivators, a hint of displeasure lingered in Venerable Jueming’s eyes.   At this moment,   Immortal Emperor Daochen spoke first.   ”Your Excellency’s concern for the common people is truly a blessing to us cultivators. Currently, many of our immortal realms are suffering from the Dark Unrest, with countless cultivators perishing.   Now that Your Excellency has appeared, I naturally wish to ask for Your assistance in suppressing the Dark Unrest and saving the common people from this dire situation!”   As soon as these words were spoken,   Venerable Jueming looked at Immortal Emperor Daochen with a hint of satisfaction.   Immediately,   he nodded.   ”What Immortal Emperor Daochen has said is exactly what I have been thinking. The fundamental reason I have summoned you all here today is that I wish to jointly establish the Mingguang Holy Land with you, uniting all the immortal realms. Only then can we counter the Changsheng Divine Sect and suppress the Dark Unrest!” As soon as   these words were spoken,   the expressions of most of the Immortal Emperors in the hall changed. Only   then   did they truly understand what Venerable Jueming meant.   Annexation!   He clearly intended to annex all the immortal realms!   Such ambition filled the Immortal Emperors with fury and astonishment.   But despite their fury,   not a single Immortal Emperor raised a finger in protest.   The reason was simple:   the being before them was an ancient Semi-Saint.   Such a being was simply beyond their power to contend with.   However,   at this moment,   Immortal Emperor Daochen spoke, “The Great Celestial Immortal Sect is willing to join the Mingguang Holy Land and join you in the fight against the Immortal Cult, reshaping our realm!”   Immediately,   many Immortal Emperors fixed their gazes on Immortal Emperor Daochen, seemingly eager to crush him to ashes.   How could they not understand by now that the Great Celestial Immortal Sect had likely already joined forces with this ancient Semi-Saint?   Otherwise, how could   Immortal Emperor Daochen   be so tactful? “I am deeply gratified that the Great Celestial Immortal Sect has shown such awareness, but I wonder what the other Immortal Emperors think?”   Venerable Jueming glanced at the other Immortal Emperors present, emanating a terrifying aura that weighed down the cultivators, their immortal energy stagnating.   Seeing things come to this, the Immortal Emperors could only bow their heads.   ”Your Excellency cares deeply about the people, and we are willing to obey your orders!”   One by one, the Immortal Emperors expressed their willingness to join the Mingguang Holy Land and obey their orders.   There was no other way.   The situation was stronger than the person.   A desolate semi-saint who had once repelled the three immortals of the Changsheng Divine Sect was a force that was far beyond the reach of their own immortal realms.   In fact,   cultivators with sufficient foundation to withstand the fear of Venerable Jueming would not have come here.   Of the six hundred high-level immortal realms,   the powerful immortal realms who had arrived at the Great Celestial Immortal Sect represented only one-thirtieth of that number.   Of course,   even so,   the cultivators present represented twenty high-level immortal realms.   Now, Venerable Jueming had commanded the submission of all twenty high-level immortal realms with a single word, a testament to his power.   At this moment,   among the many cultivators, only the several Immortal Emperors of the Tianxing Realm, led by Shen Changqing, remained silent.   The only remaining Immortal Emperor forces in the Tianxing Territory, besides the Celestial Demon Sacred Land, were the Taihao Immortal Sect and the Nanchen Immortal Sect.   The Immortal Emperors of both sects had been invited by the Great Celestial Immortal Sect.   However,   without Shen Changqing, the undisputed most powerful figure in the Tianxing Territory, speaking, the Immortal Emperors of the two major sects remained silent.   At this moment,   Immortal Emperor Daochen looked at Shen Changqing and said with a faint smile, “Daoyou Shenhong has remained silent. Could it be that you are dissatisfied with the Venerable’s arrangements?”   This statement brought all voices in the hall to a sudden halt.   Every cultivator’s gaze fell on Shen Changqing, eager to see his response.   Some   even wanted to see how the Celestial Demon Sacred Lord, who disregarded the other immortal realms, would bow to Changsheng.   Facing Immortal Emperor Daochen’s questioning and the gazes of the other Immortal Emperors, Shen Changqing remained calm.   ”There is naturally nothing wrong with Venerable Jueming’s arrangements…”   Hearing this, he paused.   Immortal Emperor Daochen raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, and the other Immortal Emperors looked at each other with a bit of inexplicable meaning in their eyes.   But at this moment.   Shen Changqing suddenly changed the subject.   ”However… Tianxing Territory has experienced a great catastrophe of destiny, and its strength has been severely damaged. In recent years, it has been mainly recuperating. As for other matters, Tianxing Territory does not want to interfere too much.   Therefore, Tianxing Territory will not participate in the affairs of Mingguang Holy Land!”   This sentence.   Suddenly, the void of the hall was suddenly under pressure.   A terrifying aura emanated from the body of the Jueming Venerable. The smile on the face of this ancient semi-saint disappeared, and his expression became extremely indifferent.   ”What a great Heavenly Demon Saint Lord, it is really better to meet him in person than to hear about him. But now that the dark turmoil is raging, Tianxing Territory has never had any chaos. Should you explain the matter?”

“Why should I explain my actions to others? Venerable Jueming has achieved enlightenment since ancient times. Now that the various immortal realms are facing a catastrophe, his willingness to help suppress the dark unrest is a blessing to all.

However, since the Tianxing Realm is currently unaffected by the catastrophe, I will not interfere.”

Shen Changqing’s expression turned cold as he met Venerable Jueming’s eyes.

In an instant,

the void trembled.

A terrifying Dao aura erupted from the space between them, instantly engulfing the entire hall.

Facing the overwhelming aura of an ancient semi-saint, Shen Changqing felt immense pressure. The immortal light of the Heavenly Evil Divine Bone shone brightly, and infinite Dao aura flowed, forcibly resisting this semi-saint’s pressure.

But at this moment,

the green leaf in Shen Changqing’s arms suddenly trembled, and a wisp of supreme sword energy emanated, a terrifying power like the reawakening of chaos, instantly shattering all the pressure from the semi-saint.

In that instant,

Venerable Jueming’s pupils suddenly constricted, and the pressure from the semi-saint suddenly subsided.

“Changsheng!”

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing couldn’t help but understand that the backup plan he had begged from Jiuye had already taken effect.

He stood up from his seat and looked at Venerable Jueming with an extremely cold expression.

“I don’t want to cause trouble, but I’m definitely not afraid of it. When the Xuanwu Immortal Court was destroyed, Changsheng also attempted to destroy the Taoist lineage of our Tianyao Holy Land, but he ultimately fell into chaos.

I and the Tianxing Territory want no part in the affairs of the Mingguang Holy Land. If there are no other matters, then we will take our leave!”

After saying this,

Shen Changqing glanced around.

The two Immortal Emperors of the Taihao Immortal Sect and the Nanchen Immortal Sect both stood up and came behind him.

Then,

without saying anything more, Shen Changqing turned and left with the two Immortal Emperors.

From beginning to end,

he didn’t give Venerable Jueming even a little face.

Because both sides had already torn their faces, no amount of polite words would be of any use.

Watching Shen Changqing openly defy Venerable Jueming’s offer of respect, then depart with the Celestial Star Region cultivators, the other Immortal Emperors were horrified.

Sure enough!

The Celestial Demon Lord was still the Celestial Demon Lord!

Even the respect of a Desolate Semi-Saint was dismissed.

They were naturally envious of this approach.

But—

envy aside—

not everyone was the Celestial Demon Lord.

They would never have the courage to stand up to a Desolate Semi-Saint.

Venerable Jueming watched Shen Changqing and the other Immortal Emperors depart with a cold gaze, murderous intent surging within him. For a moment, he felt the urge to strike out and utterly slay them.

But recalling the wisp of supreme sword energy that had just sent his heart pounding, Venerable Jueming forcibly suppressed the urge.

Don’t attack!

The mysterious and powerful being behind them was far from ordinary.

A single wisp of sword energy could pose such a threat. The powerful being behind the Heavenly Demon Holy Land was at least a Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint.

It was even possible that he had already reached the Saint stage.

Offending a Saint for the sake of a high-level immortal realm was naturally unwise.

Of course,

Venerable Jueming didn’t know whether the wisp of sword energy emanating from Shen Changqing was a fluke or if a supreme being truly held sway.   He simply didn’t want to gamble.

As   he said,   it was just a high-level immortal realm.   It wasn’t worth the risk.   So, whether Shen Changqing truly had support or was just pretending to be powerful, Venerable Jueming didn’t want to verify it.   He had survived from the ancient times to the present day because he valued caution.   He had assumed that the many high-level immortal realms invited this time were easy prey, but he hadn’t expected such a tough opponent.   Although Venerable Jueming was furious at being disrespected by Shen Changqing, he suppressed his rage after weighing the pros and cons.   Seeing this, Immortal Emperor Daochen clenched his fists, even more alarmed by Shen Changqing. Honestly,   the   Great Celestial Immortal Sect’s leader had been caught off guard by the other party’s attitude, and by the fact that Venerable Jueming had actually allowed him to leave.   Thinking back to Shen Changqing’s words before his departure, Immortal Emperor Daochen secretly regretted   offending him for no reason   .   But the deed had already been done, and the Great Celestial Immortal Sect could only cling to Venerable Jueming’s support to ensure the continuation of its daoist lineage during the ensuing catastrophe.   Otherwise   ,   the Immortal Emperor’s daoist lineage would be nothing compared to the dark turmoil.
