Terran Guardian - Chapter 3323

Chapter 3304: The Precarious Nine Mountain Fairyland

. Evil energy surges to the heavens!

Immortal power surges!

Shen Changqing now maintains his concentration, manipulating the evil energy of heaven and earth to temper his immortal bones.

This terrifying evil energy, like the shrieks of countless wronged souls, shakes his sea of consciousness, and the universe itself trembles violently. The boundless void seems to be overwhelmed by a terrifying killing force.

At this moment,

the immortal trees sway.

The phantom of a true dragon hovers in the void, suppressing all negative evil energy with supreme divine power.

However,

as the evil energy of heaven and earth grows,

this suppressive force gradually weakens.

Until a critical point,

the evil energy breaks free.

The true dragon roars, its eyes seeming to glow with an eerie, murderous crimson.

“Kill!”

Shen Changqing, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes. A bloodthirsty cold light suddenly burst out, and a terrifying sword energy bursts out from his body, vowing to slay immortals and slay gods.

In the next moment,

Shen Changqing’s face was filled with struggle, the crimson in his eyes slowly fading, as if he were regaining clarity.

But before the clarity lasted long, a new crimson, bloodthirsty glow filled his pupils.

This cycle repeated itself

for an unknown amount of time.

The crimson, bloodthirsty glow completely dissipated, and his pupils regained clarity.

Then,

Shen Changqing exhaled, his expression solemn.

“I’ve been a little anxious!”

He had assumed that suppressing the evil energy of heaven and earth with his own strength was a piece of cake, but he hadn’t expected it to be so terrifying.

Once this evil energy reached a certain density, even with his current level of cultivation, it would be difficult to truly suppress it.

Fortunately,

this was the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

If it were outside, the consequences would be far more serious.

Shen

Changqing shook his head and smiled wryly.

Seeing the Heavenly Evil Scripture nearing completion, just one final breakthrough away, he felt a strange sense of anxiety.

However—

despite nearly going astray this time,

his cultivation had yielded significant results.

During this retreat,

Shen Changqing tempered another thirty-seven pieces of Heavenly Evil Divine Bones.

Including the portion previously tempered,

his total now reached a staggering one hundred and seventy. He

only needed thirty-six more to fully complete the Heavenly Evil Immortal Sutra and cultivate the Heavenly Evil Divine Body.

“The next thirty-six Heavenly Evil Divine Bones are the most difficult stage. Truly tempering them is no easy feat.

This retreat lasted nearly five hundred thousand years, and I’ve only managed to temper thirty-seven pieces!”

Shen Changqing shook his head.

His last retreat, spanning only a million years, had already tempered over a hundred Heavenly Evil Divine Bones.

Although he had numerous treasures to aid his cultivation, that didn’t change the fact that the subsequent cultivation of Heavenly Evil Divine Bones would become increasingly difficult.

Shen Changqing estimated that the next thirty-six Heavenly Evil Divine Bones would require at least a million years to successfully temper.

Of course,

this

wasn’t a long time for Shen Changqing.

If it were a million years in the outside world, then naturally a lot of variables would be added out of thin air.

But if it were a million years in the Seven Profound God Tower, it would be different.

A million years in the first layer of space would only be ten thousand years in the outside world.

Ten thousand years.

Naturally, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

However,

at the moment, the negative energy brought by the evil spirit of heaven and earth remained a lot, and Shen Changqing could not continue to practice for the time being. Only by suppressing and expelling all this negative energy could he practice the Heavenly Evil Immortal Scripture again.

After that, Shen Changqing temporarily ended his retreat.

Not long after he came out of retreat, Yan Wuxiang came to pay his respects.

“Holy Lord!”

“How is the situation at the Nine Mountains Immortal Court now?”

Shen Changqing looked at him. He had just come out of retreat this time and had not had time to visit the Demon God Daojian.

Upon hearing this, Yan Wuxiang smiled and said, “Five thousand years ago, in a battle that saw the fall of over ten Immortal Emperors from the Nine Mountains Immortal Court in the Tianxing Territory, news soon spread that a Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor had journeyed to Primal Chaos in search of immortality.

Since then, numerous forces have united against the Nine Mountains Immortal Court.

In just a few thousand years, the forces of the various immortal realms within the Nine Mountains Immortal Court have been almost completely wiped out, with the few remaining forces now hunkered down in the Xuanxiao Territory.

Now, these forces are united, and they seem intent on destroying the Nine Mountains Immortal Court outright.

However, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s strength remains limited, and the two remaining Emperors are also formidable, so they can temporarily stabilize the situation.

But as it stands, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court is in jeopardy and on the verge of destruction!”

At this point,

Yan Wuxiang’s smile grew even brighter.   He was naturally pleased to see

the Nine Mountains Immortal Court suffer misfortune.   This outcome   did not surprise Shen Changqing.   When he decided to have the Xingdao Alliance spread this news, he had already considered the situation that the Nine Mountains Immortal Court would face.   After all, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court acts with unbridled force. Upon arriving in the Xuanxiao Realm, it crushed numerous factions with thunderous force. Later, in its campaigns against other immortal realms, its methods were even more brutal.   If the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor were present, other factions would naturally not dare to act rashly against the Nine Mountains Immortal Court.   But without him, the situation was different.   The deaths of Immortal Emperors like the Prison-Suppressing Emperor further afflicted the Nine Mountains Immortal Court. While   other factions might fear the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s presence, fearing he would return to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm to settle scores,   those already at odds with the Nine Mountains Immortal Court, even to the point of a mortal conflict, naturally had no such concerns.

Unaware of Shen Changqing’s thoughts, Yan Wuxiang suggested, “Now that the Nine Mountains Immortal Court has suffered a significant loss of strength, many factions have contacted the Holy Land, hoping to join forces with us to annihilate it.

I wonder if the Holy Lord thinks we should agree to this?”

Upon hearing this,

Shen Changqing fell silent.

Five thousand years ago, he would naturally have been reluctant to rashly start a war with the Nine Mountains Immortal Court.

After all, at that time, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s strength and foundation were still formidable.

It was for this reason that

Shen Changqing had the Xingdao Alliance secretly spread rumors in order to weaken the Nine Mountains Immortal Court.

But in reality,

events unfolded far beyond Shen Changqing’s expectations.

He had assumed that with the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s strength, even without the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor, it should be able to maintain its stability.

However,

in just five thousand years,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Court had been severely damaged.

Of the many immortal realms, only the Xuanxiao Realm remained, struggling to survive.

In this light,

it was impossible for Shen Changqing to claim he had no plans at all.

Previously, he hadn’t wanted to engage the Nine Mountains Immortal Court, because he didn’t want to see both sides suffer.

But if the Nine Mountains Immortal Court had been severely damaged and weakened, then, sorry, Shen Changqing was quite interested in kicking the can down the road.

“Five thousand years ago, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court attempted to destroy our Heavenly Demon Sacred Land. Such grudges must surely be settled!”

Shen Changqing smiled calmly, though it was a bit cold.

Even if he couldn’t kill the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor, destroying the Nine Mountains Immortal Court would be a good thing.

“When does the Holy Lord plan to act?”

Yan Wuxiang asked.

Shen Changqing shook his head. “There’s no rush for now. I’m only a hair’s breadth away from a breakthrough. With another ten or twenty thousand years of seclusion, I believe breaking through the Mirror will be no problem.

If I can achieve this breakthrough, let alone a half-crippled Nine Mountains Immortal Court, even if the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor returns from Chaos, I can fight him!”

If the Nine Mountains Immortal Court were destroyed, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor would undoubtedly be furious upon his return, and Shen Changqing would naturally be prepared for a battle.

He wasn’t worried that the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor would achieve the Semi-Saint realm upon his return. This

was simply because in this era, immortality was unattainable.

Any Immortal Emperor seeking to break through to the Semi-Saint realm could only truly achieve this when the Great Tribulation arrived.

These restrictions of the Great Dao were unbreakable.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing wasn’t worried that the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor would break through to the Semi-Saint realm at this time.

As long as he didn’t, he would be confident in his ability to defeat him.

Currently, the Heavenly Evil Scripture hadn’t reached its full potential, so Shen Changqing knew he wouldn’t stand much of a chance against the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor. However,

if he could cultivate the Heavenly Evil Scripture to perfection, the situation would be different.   Shen Changqing would have the confidence to fight anyone

below the Semi-Saint realm ,   even those ranked in the top ten of the Immortal Emperor Monument.   Of course,   if an immortal were to make a move, Shen Changqing had a trump card.   However, this trump card could only be used once, and Shen Changqing naturally didn’t want to waste it unless it was absolutely necessary.   ”Has the Saint Lord broken through?”   Yan Wuxiang looked shocked, then overjoyed.   The power of the Saint Lord before him was already terrifying, easily slaying even the three great Emperors of the Nine Mountains Immortal Court. If he achieved another breakthrough, how much greater would his power be?   If that were to come to pass, it would be just as he had claimed, and even the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor would be in a real fight.   ”Hmm…any news from the Mingguang Holy Land?”   Shen Changqing nodded, then changed the subject. He couldn’t ignore the existence of the Mingguang Holy Land.   After all, the Saint Lord of the Mingguang Holy Land was a Semi-Saint who had attained enlightenment since the ancient times.   Such an ancient Semi-Saint posed a greater threat than even the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor.   The latter was, after all, only an Immortal Emperor, while the Venerable Jueming was a true Six Tribulations Semi-Saint.   Speaking of the Mingguang Holy Land, Yan Wuxiang’s expression was serious. “The Mingguang Holy Land has expanded rapidly in recent years. That ancient semi-saint has slain many powerful beings, and many hidden sects have been decimated.   However, due to the overwhelming strength of Venerable Jueming, other immortal realms have been forced to surrender.   The swift collapse of the Nine Mountains Immortal Court is inextricably linked to the Mingguang Holy Land.   Xuanxiao Realm, as the foremost of the six hundred high-level immortal realms, has Mingguang Holy Land’s influence within it!”   Yan Wuxiang’s words   did not surprise Shen Changqing.   Venerable Jueming was extremely ambitious, and Xuanxiao Realm, as the highest-level immortal realm, was undoubtedly indifferent. It was only   natural for the Mingguang Holy Land to be involved in Xuanxiao Realm.   On the contrary,   if they ignored Xuanxiao Realm, that would be a real problem.   The Mingguang Holy Land was now so powerful that unless other immortals intervened, it would be difficult to stop them.
