Terran Guardian - Chapter 3368

Chapter 3349: The Immortal Ruins Appear

“Disciple understands!”

Yue Ding’s expression was filled with gratitude.

Being taught the Heavenly Emperor Fist was naturally a significant opportunity for him.

Then,

Shen Changqing waved his hand, dismissing the two.

Imparting their magical powers was a whim.

As for how far they could truly advance, that depended on each other’s luck.

Then,

Shen Changqing looked at the nearby Red Sun Immortal Tree.

Its branches and leaves swayed in the wind, imbued with a subtle Daoist aura that seemed to suppress everything.

“This tree is also imbued with the Nine-Leaf Daoist aura, but I wonder if it has the potential to transform into an Immortal Root!”

Shen Changqing shook his head.

The nurturing of an Immortal Root

requires opportunity.

Just like the Enlightenment Tree, while it was ostensibly Shen Changqing’s enlightenment, in reality, it was simply the final step.

Rather than Shen Changqing’s enlightenment, it was more like a handy nudge.

While the Red Sun Immortal Tree showed signs of developing spiritual intelligence, it still lagged behind the Enlightenment Tree.

Speaking of time,

the Red Sun Immortal Tree was much older than the Enlightenment Tree.

This also indirectly demonstrated that nurturing spiritual intelligence and transforming into an Immortal Root required more than just timing.

However ,   Shen Changqing had no particular concerns

about whether the Red Sun Immortal Tree could transform into an Immortal Root.   If it could, that would be best. If not, there was no need to force it.   Everything   would be left to fate.   …   For a while,   Shen Changqing continued as usual.   However, the wars across Shenfeng Province intensified, and news of the heavy losses or even destruction of top factions frequently arrived.   In the eyes of the other Immortal Provinces, Shenfeng Province was now a piece of juicy meat to be divided up.   Everyone wanted to take a bite.   Of course,   Shenfeng Province was one of the 3,600 Immortal Provinces, and it possessed a rich heritage.   Currently, the former hasn’t truly shown signs of fatigue, so aside from Yunjin Prefecture, the other immortal prefectures haven’t made any major moves yet.   However, should Shenfeng Prefecture show any signs of fatigue, it will inevitably be completely divided up by the other immortal prefectures.   This   is undeniable.   Of course   ,   if this battle ends in Yunjin Prefecture’s crushing defeat, the other immortal prefectures will naturally shift their focus from Shenfeng Prefecture to Yunjin Prefecture.   But the true outcome remains unknown.   During this period,   Shen Changqing also returned to the Xuantian Dao Sect.   Currently,   wars are raging in numerous mid-level immortal realms,   but for the Xuantian Dao Sect, these have had little impact.   Currently, the Xuantian Dao Sect is a truly top-tier, dominant force among the two hundred mid-level immortal realms. Not only do they boast several surviving Immortal Emperors, but they also have a patriarch suspected of reaching the pinnacle of Immortal Emperor status. Naturally   , few within the mid-level immortal realms would be willing to provoke such a force.   After all, mid-level immortal realms have limited resources, and many Immortal Emperor-level forces are reluctant to waste their power on them.   Therefore,   upon truly understanding the strength of the Xuantian Dao Sect, other forces naturally hesitated to antagonize it.   Furthermore, the Xuantian Dao Sect has maintained a low profile over the years, managing only a few of the original immortal realms and not interfering extensively in the affairs of other realms.   Consequently,   other states have tacitly avoided the Xuantian Dao Sect and avoided any direct contact with it.   Of course,   if the Xuantian Dao Sect were to annex two hundred mid-level immortal realms, it would naturally become a target of public criticism.   But for now,   a mere handful of mid-level immortal realms wouldn’t be enough to provoke a reckless attack.   In some ways,   the current Xuantian Dao Sect resembles the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.   The former commands immense prestige within the mid-level immortal realms, while the latter, likewise, faces few challenges in the high-level realms.   However, both share a common premise: they don’t interfere with too many immortal realms.   …   One day,   the communication jade talisman vibrated.   Shen Changqing swept his mind across the area, a smile breaking across his face.   ”It’s almost time!” He   immediately   summoned Yan Wuxiang and the other Immortal Emperors of the Holy Land.   ”News has arrived from the Xuanxiao Territory that a site of immortality has appeared. I must travel to the Xuanxiao Territory. While I’m away, you will be responsible for handling the affairs of the Holy Land.   If you encounter any difficult problems, please inform me immediately!”   ”We understand!”   The Immortal Emperors exchanged glances and nodded in acceptance. Shen Changqing   then   departed for the Xuanxiao Territory without further comment.   This time,   Shen Changqing didn’t deliberately publicize   his trip to the Xuanxiao Territory .   Apart from the Immortal Emperors, no other cultivators in the Heavenly Demon Holy Land were aware of this matter.   A month later,   Shen Changqing entered the Xuanxiao Territory.   Upon entering this immortal realm, he immediately sensed the aura of immortality permeating the void. This overwhelming pressure was palpable even without being physically present.   He looked in the direction of the pressure and saw the shadow of a celestial palace appear in the void, as if it had existed from eternity. The terrifying pressure of a semi-saint emanated from there.   Then,   Shen Changqing took out the communication jade talisman. Soon, the immortal light of the Great Dao appeared, and Xu Yangzi’s figure also appeared.   ”Fellow Daoist Shen Hong!”

“Fellow Daoist Xu Yangzi!”

Shen Changqing bowed slightly.

Xu Yangzi’s face was filled with a smile. “The news of the appearance of the Semi-Saint Ruins has already attracted many powerful figures from the Immortal Realms.

However, with the Xuanqing Immortal Sect joining forces with you, I believe we can seize many opportunities within this ruins!”

“The Xuanqing Immortal Sect has a strong foundation, and with the support of Changsheng, how much can I, a mere Immortal Emperor, contribute? Honestly, I still rely more on your sect!”

Shen Changqing smiled calmly. Xu

Yangzi said, “Fellow Daoist, you are too modest. This is not the place to talk. Let’s go to the Xuanqing Immortal Sect first.

Although the Semi-Saint Ruins have appeared, it will probably take some time before they can be truly opened.

This is a good opportunity for us to discuss the matter of the Semi-Saint Ruins in depth!”

“Yes!”

Shen Changqing nodded, not refusing.

Immediately,

the two of them headed towards the Xuanqing Immortal Sect.

As news of Shen Changqing’s arrival spread, a sense of turmoil spread throughout the Xuanqing Immortal Sect.

The Celestial Demon Saint Lord Shen Hong!

This name was a household name to them.

The repercussions of the battle tens of thousands of years ago had yet to fully subside.

For many cultivators, tens of thousands of years seemed like a passing moment.

The images of that battle had spread throughout many immortal realms.

For this very reason,

with the arrival of such a powerful being, it was difficult for the Xuanqing Immortal Sect to ignore it.

Consequently ,

Daozi Chen, as the Sect Master, had no choice but to personally intervene.

“I’ve long heard of Fellow Daoist Shen Hong. Meeting him today, I know the rumors are true!”

“You’re too polite, Sect Master Chen!”

Shen Changqing replied with a faint smile.

At this point, Xu Yangzi continued, “Fellow Daoist Shen Hong’s goal is to obtain the Semi-Saint Ruins. News of their appearance has already attracted the attention of numerous factions.

While our Xuanqing Immortal Sect possesses considerable strength, we still lack confidence in the face of these numerous forces.

However, by joining forces with Fellow Daoist, I believe entering the Semi-Saint Ruins will be much easier!”

At this point,

Xu Yangzi paused.

“I won’t waste any more formalities. Let’s discuss the situation at this Semi-Saint Ruins!”

“I’d love to hear the details,”

Shen Changqing’s expression straightened.

Xu Yangzi continued, “It’s rumored that this Semi-Saint Ruins was the palace of an ancient Semi-Saint who aspired to the Nine Tribulations level.

This ancient Semi-Saint was known as the Venerable Danxin. It’s said that he was nurtured by an elixir, transformed into a spiritual being, and ultimately embarked on the path of cultivation, gradually reaching the Nine Tribulations level.

However, the ancient times are so distant from the present that we don’t know what became of the Venerable Danxin.

One thing we do know is that he was renowned for his alchemy skills in the ancient times, and his alchemy skills were rumored to be even more remarkable than his cultivation.”

Xu Yangzi’s words made Shen Changqing’s face clear.

A top-tier alchemy grandmaster at the Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint level!

The palace left behind by such a powerful figure is naturally more important than the average Semi-Saint palace.

After all.

A being of this caliber might have some top-tier elixirs left behind in their palace.

Although

the ancient times were quite distant, many elixirs left behind would be unable to withstand the passage of time.

However, for a Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint, there are many ways to preserve the properties of elixirs. Even if they can’t completely preserve them, retaining some of the medicinal properties is an unparalleled opportunity for a powerhouse at the Immortal Emperor level.

“So, it’s possible that this palace contains top-tier elixirs refined by a Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint in the ancient times!”

Shen Changqing said slowly.

Xu Yangzi nodded. “That’s right, but there aren’t many who truly know the origins of this palace right now. Otherwise, there would be more forces arriving than just these few.

Even some ancient Semi-Saints aspiring to immortality might be anxious to see what’s going on.

After all, the elixirs refined by a top-tier alchemy master who has reached the Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint stage are of significant use, even for other immortals.

However, that person existed too long ago, and not many cultivators truly know the truth.

If the Xuanqing Immortal Sect hadn’t been lucky enough to obtain some information about him back then, we wouldn’t have known the true origins of this Semi-Saint site.”

After he finished speaking,

Xu Yangzi looked at Shen Changqing standing beside him.

“With your strength, you will surely reach the realm of immortality when the next catastrophe arrives.

However, to survive the great catastrophe of immortality, you must not only face the heavenly tribulation, but also the five signs of decay.

This is a calamity that all Immortal Emperors shudder at.

If you can find some elixirs and treasures that can enhance your foundation in this semi-saint ruins, then your subsequent breakthrough to the semi-saint realm will be much easier!”

“Then what is the purpose of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect? Is it also to find such elixirs?”

Shen Changqing looked at Xu Yangzi meaningfully, as if trying to read some answers from his face.
