Terran Guardian - Chapter 3355

Chapter 3336: The Heartless Lord

“Heavenly Star Region!”

A figure suddenly appeared before the Heavenly Demon Immortal City. Passing cultivators were unaware of the suddenness, not even a flicker of surprise, as if the figure had always been there.

Jiang Linyuan slowly approached the city. The guards made no attempt to intercept him, allowing him to enter freely.

In that instant,

the semi-saint’s divine consciousness spread.

The vast Heavenly Demon Immortal City was completely enveloped by Jiang Linyuan’s divine consciousness.

Furthermore,

this divine consciousness did not cease, continuously expanding beyond the city. However,

just as this divine consciousness was about to reach the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, an immortal tree on the main peak trembled slightly, and a faint Dao aura descended, hindering the divine consciousness’s probing power.

“This Dao aura is interesting!”

Jiang Linyuan looked towards the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, a hint of surprise on his face.

Though faint, the Dao rhyme held a terrifying aura of heavenly might, imbued with a terrifying killing intent.

At that moment,

even Jiang Linyuan, who had entered the semi-saint realm, felt a faint sense of threat.

A mere trace of Dao rhyme could not threaten an immortal semi-saint.

However,

the existence behind this Dao rhyme filled Jiang Linyuan with trepidation.

At this moment,

Jiang Linyuan became increasingly certain that

the Heavenly Demon Saint Lord was the reincarnation of an ancient master.

Though faint, the Dao rhyme contained within it a profound level of Dao. Only a being at the level of a saint could have left behind such a terrifying Dao rhyme.

If a reincarnated master had attained enlightenment, leaving behind a fragment of their past life over the years, this could have been the case.

But again,

not every reincarnated master could achieve this.

Most powerful beings, despite countless reincarnations, fail to awaken their past lives’ innate wisdom. Even if they manage to awaken later, the legacy they inherit is limited.

However, combined with his previous suspicions about the Heavenly Demon Saint, Jiang Linyuan no longer found it strange to sense this Dao aura.

Afterward,

Jiang Linyuan stopped exploring the Heavenly Demon Holy Land. After   all ,

although he was a semi-saint, reckless exploration could potentially alert the other party, indirectly offending them.   Naturally   , Jiang Linyuan did not wish to gratuitously antagonize such a powerful being.   After all, with their profound background, they had a strong chance of achieving immortality in the next tribulation.   Furthermore,   if such a powerful being were to return to their peak and reach the sage realm, it would undoubtedly be much easier for other cultivators.   Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, Jiang Linyuan had no intention of antagonizing the other party.   The next moment,   Jiang Linyuan withdrew his divine consciousness.   However,   as his divine consciousness returned to his body, he also looked towards the direction of the Destiny Forbidden Zone.   With the keen perception of a semi-saint, Jiang Linyuan could naturally sense a vague sense of threat.   He had also heard of the existence of the Destiny Forbidden Zone.   This ancient forbidden zone   had existed even longer than the Hidden Sword Sect.   The Tianxing Domain’s Destiny Tribulation had caused quite a stir, and since its inception, the Hidden Sword Sect had been familiar with the conditions of various immortal realms.   Therefore, Jiang Linyuan was naturally familiar with the Destiny Forbidden Zone.   Before arriving in the Tianxing Domain, he had concluded that the so-called Destiny Tribulation was most likely related to a reclusive and powerful being.   Now it seemed   his suspicions were correct.   An ancient being indeed lurked within the Destiny Forbidden Zone, and   its power was undoubtedly considerable.   However, it had not left the Destiny Forbidden Zone, clearly intending to use the power of the Forbidden Zone to conceal the secrets of Heaven and prevent the onset of the Five Decays of the Celestial Being.   Jiang Linyuan had no desire to offend such a being.   …   A   month later,   in a certain immortal palace,   Jiang Linyuan suddenly opened his eyes, his vision effortlessly piercing the void, directly taking in the outside world.   At the same time.   A figure also cast a glance their way.   Their eyes met,   and an invisible aura of Dao permeated the air.   But before the other cultivators could truly perceive it, it vanished in an instant.   ”This one from the Jueqing Immortal Sect is here too! This is getting increasingly interesting!”   Jiang Linyuan smiled. He had assumed he was the only Immortal to have personally visited the Heavenly Star Region, but unexpectedly, a Semi-Saint from the Jueqing Immortal Sect had also arrived.   This battle had indeed attracted the attention of quite a few factions.   However,   Jiang Linyuan was also well aware that   the Jueqing Immortal Sect’s Semi-Saint’s arrival wasn’t simply aimed at the Nine Mountains Immortal Court. The fundamental reason lay with the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.   A normal clash between two Immortal Emperor factions wouldn’t attract the attention of a Semi-Saint.   But the Heavenly Demon Holy Land was different.   It was likely that many factions were using this opportunity to test the other’s strength.   With this in mind,   Jiang Linyuan stopped dwelling on the matter.   As long as the other party didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t offend another Semi-Saint for no reason.   On the other side,   A subtle expression appeared on the otherwise indifferent face of the Jueqing Venerable.   ”Jiang Linyuan of the Hidden Sword Sect, you’re quite swift!”   He cast a deep glance at Jiang Linyuan’s immortal abode, then withdrew his gaze.   …   ”Holy Lord, many powerful individuals have arrived in Heavenly Demon Immortal City recently, some with mysterious origins, leaving me with a sense of unfathomable depth!”   Inside the Holy Land’s Immortal Palace, the Demon God Rāhu respectfully reported.   His words.

Shen Changqing looked a bit surprised.

“Even you can hardly feel their unfathomable depth. It seems that some formidable experts have arrived in Tianyao Xiancheng!”

Although Luohou Demon God was only at the initial stage of the Immortal Emperor, his strength was already comparable to that of a mid-level Immortal Emperor. Even if some late-stage Immortal Emperors or those entering the peak of the Immortal Emperor appeared, even if he couldn’t see through their cultivation,

he could at least guess at their depth. To say that they were unfathomable was quite intriguing.

This meant that

many powerful cultivators had appeared in Tianyao Xiancheng.

These cultivators

were definitely not just top-tier Immortal Emperors. They might

even

have reached the semi-saint realm.

Thinking of this.

Shen Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly. “If they don’t break the rules of the Immortal City, then there’s no need to pay any attention to them for now, nor is there any need to deliberately investigate. Let everything take its course.

This incident at the Nine Mountains Immortal Court has already attracted considerable attention.

Among those powerful individuals you mentioned, there might even be those striving for immortality.”

“Holy Lord, you mean, immortal semi-saints!!!”

Demon God Rāhu’s face changed.

The very words ‘immortal semi-saints’ filled him with immense pressure.

Shen Changqing, however, remained much calmer. “Even if immortality were to appear before us, what’s so surprising about that? While immortality is difficult to achieve without the arrival of the Great Tribulation, the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is vast, and there are always some semi-saints who can resist the Five Decays of Heavenly Beings and roam the world.

As long as these beings don’t provoke the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, there’s no need for us to offend them.

Their purpose here must be related to the battle at the Nine Mountains Immortal Court.

Until that battle is concluded, I don’t think anything will happen!”

With this, Shen Changqing dismissed Demon God Rāhu.

Although he hadn’t witnessed it himself, he could guess it was a near certainty.

Especially since the Red Sun Immortal Tree had recently moved strangely, the lingering Dao rhyme of Nine Leaves’ past enlightenment had caused some turbulence. How could such a fluctuation be hidden from Shen Changqing’s perception?

Even an ordinary Immortal Emperor exploring the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land couldn’t conceal it from his senses.

To conceal it from his senses and alarm the Red Sun Immortal Tree, Shen Changqing could almost conclude that this powerful individual secretly exploring the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land was most likely an Immortal aspiring to become one.

However,

the intimidation of Nine Leaves’ lingering Dao rhyme made that Immortal afraid to venture into the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land again.

After all, Nine Leaves’ Dao rhyme wasn’t very strong, but even the faintest Dao rhyme left by a powerhouse of his level could be a profound deterrent to other Immortals.

Indeed, the Red Sun Immortal Tree had remained motionless

since that incident

, proving Shen Changqing’s assumption correct.

“With the Scarlet Sun Immortal Tree here, if an immortal were to explore the holy land, it could serve as a warning. However, this Dao Yun is limited. Once it’s depleted, the effect will cease!”

“To resolve this issue, we must find a way to improve the defensive formations at the Heavenly Demon Holy Land!”

Shen Changqing shook his head secretly.

If the holy land’s formations could be improved, even if they couldn’t completely block the divine thoughts of a Semi-Saint, they would at least prevent them from entering unmolested.

Even if they could provide some warning, that would be sufficient.

But the problem was,

setting up a top-notch defensive formation wasn’t easy.

Shen Changqing had previously obtained the Great Sun Mysterious Yellow Formation, but he hadn’t had the time to comprehend it.

But after this incident,

Shen Changqing had decided to devote some time to comprehending its mysteries.

While the Great Sun Mysterious Yellow Formation was only a mid-level seventh-grade formation and couldn’t possibly defend against the divine thoughts of a Semi-Saint, it was at least significantly better than the current formation.

Besides,

It couldn’t block the divine sense of a Semi-Saint, but it could block the divine sense of some Immortal Emperors.

With the current array, not to mention Semi-Saints, even slightly more powerful Immortal Emperors could ignore its existence.

Furthermore, if

Shen Changqing wanted to achieve great success in array formations, he must comprehend the Great Sun Mysterious Yellow Array.

Formations,

too, require gradual advancement.

Only by comprehending a seventh-order mid-grade array, gradually building a foundation, could he one day hope to ascend to the seventh-order mid-grade Grandmaster level, and then comprehend arrays of even higher levels.

This cycle would continue

until he eventually

reached the pinnacle of the seventh order, or even the eighth-order Grandmaster level.

However,

it was premature to predict this.

Shen Changqing’s array skills remained at the lower seventh order, and it would take countless years to reach the mid-grade, let alone anything else.

With the war looming,

comprehending array formations could only be left for later.

The most important thing right now was to deal with the Nine Mountains Immortal Court.
