Terran Guardian - Chapter 3380

Chapter 3361: Candidates for the Saintly Pill

. Two years passed

in the blink of an eye.

During this time,

the Void was not at peace.

Not only because the pursuit of Xu Yangzi continued, but also because another opportunity had appeared within the Immortal Palace of Longevity.

However,

Shen Changqing had no intention of interfering.

He was now faintly on the threshold of the peak of the Immortal Emperor.

With the opening of the Extreme Yin Universe,

Shen Changqing had reached the pinnacle of the late Immortal Emperor stage.

The Heaven and Earth Universe! The

Yin and Yang Universe!

And finally

, the Five Elements Universe, also known as the Five Immortal Universes.

By opening up any of the Five Elements Universes, Shen Changqing could step into the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor stage.

However, the difference between the late Immortal Emperor stage and the peak Immortal Emperor stage is only a step, but truly realizing that opportunity for a breakthrough is not easy.

Over the past two years,

Shen Changqing has comprehended the rhyme of the Longevity Dao and observed the supreme avenue. The previously elusive bottlenecks in his realm are now becoming increasingly apparent.

Therefore.

Shen Changqing didn’t bother to dwell on matters of outside opportunity.

Nothing was more important than his own breakthrough.

One day,

the void trembled.

A mysterious Dao rhyme rippled through the entire Semi-Saint Universe.

This aura’s fluctuations forced Shen Changqing to regain consciousness.

He opened his eyes, and a ray of divine light pierced the void, like the first ray of light that opened up chaos, completely illuminating the darkness of the entire Immortal Palace.

“What a shame, I still haven’t reached the pinnacle of Immortal Emperor!”

Shen Changqing shook his head.

If he could give himself another hundred years, then with this Dao rhyme of immortality, he might have been able to directly open up a Five Elements Universe and truly reach the pinnacle of Immortal Emperor.

But alas,

with two years,

even with Shen Changqing’s aptitude and comprehension, a breakthrough in one go would be difficult.

However,

although he failed to break through this time,

the Dao rhyme of immortality he had comprehended during this period had saved him many detours.

If nothing unexpected happened,

with another period of seclusion, Shen Changqing would be confident of reaching the pinnacle of Immortal Emperor.

But before that, he would.

They had to leave the Immortal Palace of Longevity first.

The Dao rhyme permeated the void, and an irresistible force descended upon them. Shen Changqing offered no resistance, allowing the Dao rhyme to engulf him, and in an instant, he vanished.

…

Outside.

Many powerful beings had already appeared.

A month after the opening of the Immortal Palace of Longevity, the entrance had been completely closed, leaving many cultivators who had heard the news with regret.

But these cultivators were unwilling to leave, so they bided their time.

One day, the Immortal

Palace trembled.

The mighty Dao rhyme of the Immortal Life permeated the air,

and all the cultivators were invigorated.

The unusual movement in the Immortal Palace could very well mean that a cultivator was about to emerge.

Just as this thought arose in their minds, streams of light emerged from the Immortal Palace, transforming into the figures of numerous cultivators.

Simultaneously,

the Immortal Palace of Longevity faded into insubstantiality at a visible speed, eventually fading completely from sight.

“He’s out!”

Shen Changqing observed the surroundings, his expression slightly shifting. He then looked in another direction in the void, only to see Xu Yangzi vanish into thin air the moment he emerged from the Changsheng Immortal Palace.

At this moment,

the other Immortal Emperors suddenly regained consciousness. Looking at the spot where Xu Yangzi had vanished, their faces suddenly changed.

“Oh no! Xu Yangzi’s escaped!”

“This beast sacrificed our sect’s Immortal Emperor. He must pay the price!”

“Quickly, leave the Immortal Pill for Entry into Sagehood!”

Many Immortal Emperors immediately headed towards the Xuanqing Immortal Sect.

This scene

left many of the cultivators waiting outside somewhat bewildered.

But soon,

after an Immortal Emperor revealed the reason, the other cultivators were horrified, and a surge of greed welled up in their hearts.

Entry into Sagehood!

Such a heaven-defying opportunity had appeared within the Changsheng Immortal Palace.

And,

this Entry into Sagehood Pill had fallen into Xu Yangzi’s hands.

At the mere thought of this,

all factions became restless.

Even many of the Immortal Sects of Immortality felt a surge of greed.

After all,

that was the Immortal Elixir, a heaven-defying

elixir that could grant their faction an additional immortal being.

How could such an opportunity not be tempting?

But even as everyone was coveting the Immortal Elixir, Shen Changqing had already quietly departed without alerting anyone.

Needless to say,

Shen Changqing could conclude that

the entire Xuanxiao Domain would soon be swept by a storm.

Staying here would only lead to trouble, meaningless.

Under such circumstances, Shen Changqing naturally wouldn’t stay and seek trouble.

…

A month later,

Shen Changqing returned to the Tianxing Domain.

Many high-ranking officials of the Tianyao Holy Land were the first to learn of the news.

Immediately,

Immortal Emperors like Yan Wuxiang came to pay their respects.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing also gained an understanding of the current situation in the Tianxing Domain.

However, in just ten years, the changes in the Tianxing Domain were naturally limited.

Furthermore, the appearance of the Xuanxiao Domain’s Semi-Saint Ruins had attracted the attention of most cultivators. Under these circumstances, it was even less likely that any force would provoke the Tianxing Domain.

Looking at Yan Wuxiang before him, Shen Changqing paused for a moment before waving him away.

Immediately afterwards,

a thought struck Shen Changqing,

and Jianxu appeared.

“This is the outside world. It’s truly different!”

Jianxu’s face broke into an unconcealed smile as he gazed upon everything before him, feeling a sense of escape and freedom.

While the Changsheng Immortal Palace boasted a vast expanse of emptiness, it was nothing but nothingness. Staying there for eons was like being imprisoned.

This was precisely why Jianxu wanted to leave.

At this moment,

witnessing the completely different scenery of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, Jianxu was naturally delighted.

Shen Changqing said, “I have brought you out as instructed. From now on, you will stay by my side and obey my orders.”

“Yes!”

Jianxu’s expression straightened, and he clasped his fists in acceptance.

Although he was now under Shen Changqing’s control, Jianxu couldn’t forget the favor he owed him for freeing him from the Changsheng Immortal Palace.

At this moment,

Jianxu seemed to have thought of something and cautiously asked, “I wonder if Your Majesty would be so kind as to give me some elixirs to refine every now and then. This way, I can maintain my strength and better serve Your Majesty!”

“Take it!”

Shen Changqing casually tossed out a bottle of elixirs.

Jianxu opened the jade bottle, and the rich medicinal aroma instantly lit his eyes. He swallowed it in one gulp, refining the entire elixir.

After consuming the elixir, Jianxu smacked his lips.

It wasn’t as delicious as the Creation Elixir, but it was still quite good.

In the ancient times, Jianxu would have disdained such a seventh-grade elixir.

But now,

for Jianxu, just having something to eat was a blessing.

The seventh-grade elixir was a little inferior, but it was better than nothing.

Shen Changqing ignored Jianxu’s thoughts and, with a flip of his hand, the Sage Elixir appeared out of thin air.

Originally,

Shen Changqing wanted to give the elixir to Yan Wuxiang, but after some thought, he held back.

Despite Yan Wuxiang’s current loyalty, a large part of it stemmed from his strength.

If Yan Wuxiang were to break through to the Semi-Saint realm and transform his power, Shen Changqing wasn’t sure if he would change his mind.

A Semi-Saint!

Even the weakest Semi-Saint!

Truly suppressing him would be difficult.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing hesitated.

Whether bestowing the elixir on Yan Wuxiang or another cultivator, their loyalty would be a concern.

If Shen Changqing had already broken through to the Semi-Saint realm, this concern would naturally not exist.

A Semi-Saint who reached this level through elixirs, no matter how powerful, would have its limits. With his own Semi-Saint cultivation, Shen Changqing was absolutely confident he could easily suppress him, preventing him from harboring any rebellious thoughts.

But now, Shen Changqing still had some way to go before breaking through to the Semi-Saint realm.

This

left him with a dilemma regarding who should receive the Immortal Elixir.

Granting it to an innate demon god like Futian would undoubtedly be a waste.

After all, with the inherent talent of an innate demon god’s bloodline, he has a high chance of breaking through to the semi-saint realm one day. Taking the

elixir would undoubtedly damage his foundation. The choice between a semi-saint with the potential to advance further and a weakest semi-saint who will never make an inch in his life—the choice is obvious.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing didn’t want an innate demon god to take the elixir, even if he was loyal enough.

As for an acquired demon god,

he was a good target.

However,

there was a requirement for taking the elixir: the cultivation level must be at least at the Immortal Emperor realm. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to truly withstand the elixir’s power.

None of the acquired demon gods had yet reached the Immortal Emperor realm, making them ineligible for taking the elixir.

Otherwise, Shen Changqing wouldn’t have needed to worry so much.

The names of numerous cultivators flashed through his mind one by one. After a long moment, Shen Changqing exhaled and immediately produced the jade talisman for communication.

A moment later.

A cultivator floated over.

“Greetings, Holy Lord!”

“I have an opportunity, would you be willing to accept it?”

Shen Changqing looked at Yan Wuxiang, silent for a moment before speaking.

Yan Wuxiang was momentarily startled, then reacted and hurriedly bowed, saying, “If Holy Lord can grant me this opportunity, I’m willing to accept it!”

Upon hearing this,

Shen Changqing gave him a deep look, then, with his divine consciousness, lifted up the Immortal Pill for Entry into Sainthood, dropping it before Yan Wuxiang.

The instant the pill appeared, it caught Yan Wuxiang’s attention. Instinctively, he vaguely understood the pill’s uniqueness.

“This is the Immortal Pill for Entry into Sainthood. Consuming it allows an Immortal Emperor to ascend directly to the realm of Semi-Sainthood, but there’s a drawback: it prevents any further advancement.”

Yan Wuxiang’s face lit up with joy as Shen Changqing’s words reached him, his body trembling slightly.

“Yan… I, your subordinate, thank you for granting me the opportunity for immortality. From now on, I will obey you obediently, even if it means sacrificing my life!”
