Terran Guardian - Chapter 3385

Chapter 3365 Heavy Losses (Late in the Morning)

Shen Changqing had anticipated   the fate of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect .

After all, once news of the Saint Elixir spread, it would be difficult for the Xuanqing Immortal Sect to maintain this opportunity.

Unless

the Xuanqing Venerable could intervene.

However,

with the other party facing the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man, intervention would be nearly impossible.

Even if the Xuanqing Immortal Sect faced annihilation, the other party might not be able to intervene. It

was simply that no one dared to take the risk.

This was the fundamental reason why the Xuanqing Immortal Sect only suffered heavy damage, not destruction.

Otherwise,

based on Xu Yangzi’s actions, not just one Xuanqing Immortal Sect, even ten Xuanqing Immortal Sects would have been doomed.

Seeing Shen Changqing’s silence, Yan Wuxiang asked cautiously,

“Does the Holy Lord have any thoughts about the Xuanqing Immortal Sect?”

Upon hearing this,

Shen Changqing glanced at him, without any intention of concealing anything.

“During the battle at the Changsheng Immortal Palace, Xu Yangzi sacrificed the blood of many Immortal Emperors, including one of my incarnations. This opportunity will undoubtedly lead to a reckoning.”

“So that’s the case!” Yan

Wuxiang’s face was raging.

“Xu Yangzi dared to attack the Holy Lord. This grudge must naturally be settled with the Xuanqing Immortal Sect. However, the only problem at hand is that Venerable Xuanqing.

He achieved enlightenment in ancient times, and his strength is unfathomable.

Although I have now obtained the Saint Immortal Pill and broken through to the Semi-Saint realm, I’m afraid I’m no match for him!” Yan   Wuxiang

‘s brow furrowed as he spoke.

Although his strength had skyrocketed since breaking through to the Semi-Saint realm, giving him considerable confidence in his own abilities,   confidence wasn’t arrogance.   Yan Wuxiang knew that with his current strength, he was still far behind those veteran Semi-Saints of old.   Shen Changqing said, “Venerable Xuanqing is facing the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, so he might not personally attack. But… even if he did, I’m confident I could handle him.   ”   Shen Changqing paused, then changed the subject.   ”Do you know which faction ultimately acquired the Xuanqing Immortal Sect’s Entry into Sainthood Pill?”   ”We don’t know for now,”   Yan Wuxiang shook his head.   ”When the Xuanqing Immortal Sect initially released the Entry into Sainthood Pill, it sparked a scramble among various factions, making it difficult to uncover specific details.   However, there are rumors that the Entry into Sainthood Pill fell into the hands of the Shenyang Immortal Court, while others claim the Changsheng Divine Sect took advantage.   But the details remain unknown. Furthermore   , so far, aside from the Entry into Sainthood Pill held by the Xuanqing Immortal Sect and the Saint Master, there’s been no news of the remaining one!”   ”Hmm…”   Shen Changqing nodded.   This answer was within his expectations.   Although Yan Wuxiang said he didn’t know which faction ultimately acquired the Entry into Sainthood Pill, Shen Changqing believed that only a few factions had a real chance of acquiring it.   If any other faction had been lucky enough to obtain it, they would have struggled to maintain it.   The lack of news about the final Sainthood Pill didn’t surprise Shen Changqing.   Any force that obtained such an opportunity wouldn’t publicize it, instead consuming it immediately.   This way,   even if news leaked later, it wouldn’t have a significant impact.   After all, a used Sainthood Pill would be useless to other forces.   On the contrary,   leaving it behind would be a major problem .   A hundred years later, the forces that obtained the Pill would have already used it, so why would they have kept it until now?   It was because the Xuanqing Immortal Sect leaked the news from the outset, leaving Xu Yangzi with no time to refine the Pill, thus missing out on this opportunity.   Trying to consume it prematurely would have been futile.   If the Pill’s potency couldn’t be fully refined, powerful forces in other forces would have the means to re-refine it.   For example, at the Heavenly Demon Holy Land,   Shen Changqing immediately tasked Yan Wuxiang with refining the Sainthood Pill.   The Pill and the Pill were fused together, and even the most extraordinary of means couldn’t re-refine a fully refined Sainthood Pill.   ”When does the Holy Lord plan to attack the Xuanqing Immortal Sect?”   ”Three days later!”   Shen Changqing spat out a few words.   It’s better to root out the problem sooner rather than later.   Besides,   Shen Changqing believed that   even if he didn’t take action, the Xuanqing Immortal Sect would not give up if given the chance.   While it might appear that Xu Yangzi had plotted against him first, intending to sacrifice himself in blood to complete the final stage of the Sainthood Pill’s transformation,   for many factions, right or wrong isn’t important.   What matters   is that once a conflict breaks out, it’s a fight to the death.   Currently, the Xuanqing Immortal Sect is under pressure from all sides, suffering heavy losses. Furthermore, the ancient Semi-Saint is suppressed by the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man, preventing them from taking action for the time being.   But if Venerable Xuanqing survives this Five Degenerations, or if the subsequent calamities arrive and Semi-Saints emerge one after another, things could change.   Therefore, it’s   better to strike first.   How could Shen Changqing not understand this principle?   Yan Wuxiang listened to Shen Changqing’s words without objection.   With his current strength, the only person he feared was Venerable Xuanqing.   But since he could confidently handle the Saint Lord before him, Yan Wuxiang no longer had to worry.   As for the other cultivators of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect, to be honest, Yan Wuxiang didn’t really take them seriously.   Even though his strength was the weakest among the many Semi-Saints, he was still a Semi-Saint,   no matter   how weak   . He   was definitely not comparable to an ordinary Immortal Emperor.

Without the ancient Semi-Saint, Yan Wuxiang might have been confident enough to single-handedly wipe out the entire Xuanqing Immortal Sect.

…

“Puff!”

Inside a certain immortal palace, Xu Yangzi spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura tinged with dejection.

“Damn it!”

His face darkened, the hatred in his eyes almost tangible.

Xu Yangzi was filled with resentment at the thought of the opportunity for immortality slipping through his grasp.

He had made every possible preparation to enter the Immortal Palace of Longevity and seize the Immortal Pill of Sagehood.

However, Xu Yangzi hadn’t anticipated how events would unfold drastically different from his expectations. The

emergence of the Immortal Pill of Sagehood

not only brought about a pill tribulation, but

more importantly,

it was incredibly difficult to break through to the Semi-Saint realm within the Immortal Palace of Longevity.

Furthermore,

refining the Immortal Pill of Sagehood was far more challenging than Xu Yangzi had anticipated.

Originally,

according to Xu Yangzi’s plan.

Even if news of his possession of the Sainthood Pill were leaked, as long as he could refine it and achieve the Semi-Saint realm before then, these problems would cease to be a problem.

After all,

no one would fight the Changsheng Immortal Sect to the death over a lost opportunity.

But, as it happened

, everything caught Xu Yangzi off guard.

This prevented him from reaching the Semi-Saint realm. Later, facing pressure from various factions, he was forced to regurgitate the Sainthood Pill he had swallowed.

Only after eliminating this source of disaster could the Xuanqing Immortal Sect have a chance to recover.

Otherwise,

the Xuanqing Immortal Sect would have been destroyed a hundred years ago.

Even so,

the sect suffered heavy losses,

with most of the Immortal Emperors perishing.

He himself had also suffered serious injuries.

Even after a century of recuperation and recovery from such a severe Dao injury, there would be no improvement.

If

Xu Yangzi’s hopes of achieving the Semi-Saint realm were low before, they were now even slimmer.

Forget about breaking through to the Semi-Saint realm.

If these Dao injuries were allowed to worsen, Xu Yangzi felt that if his cultivation didn’t regress, he’d be lucky.

“Damn it! There’s still no news of the other two Sainthood Pills. If it weren’t for the Shenyang Immortal Court’s obstruction, all three would have fallen into my hands, and there wouldn’t have been such a problem!”

Xu Yangzi recalled the scene at the Changsheng Immortal Palace, and the hatred on his face grew even more pronounced.

If he had been able to obtain three Sainthood Pills, even if the subsequent incident was exposed, he could easily have thrown one or two to attract the attention of other forces, thus buying himself time to refine the pills.

But alas,

it was too late now.

The Xuanqing Immortal Sect suffered a huge loss during this trip to the Changsheng Immortal Palace.

Many Immortal Emperors perished,

and they had offended many factions.

The entire sect’s strength had plummeted to its lowest point.

Only because the sect’s ancestor was still around was they able to preserve their legacy; otherwise, the Xuanqing Immortal Sect would have ceased to exist long ago.

Even so,

this loss…

This also wiped out billions of years of accumulation for the Xuanqing Immortal Sect. Restoring its vitality won’t be easy.

At least,

without a significant opportunity, it will be difficult for the Xuanqing Immortal Sect to recover for the next several Immortal King Eras.

The Heavenly Dao Battlefield will soon begin, and with the Xuanqing Immortal Sect’s current strength, dealing with the subsequent challenges will be a challenge.

If not properly handled, a subsequent decline in the Xuanxiao Domain’s ranking is inevitable.

And if this decline were to occur, the Xuanqing Immortal Sect, as the top sect in the Xuanxiao Domain, would undoubtedly be significantly impacted.

This

would make recovery even more difficult for the Xuanqing Immortal Sect.

Unfortunately,

it’s too late to say anything now.

The situation is irreversible

. All Xu Yangzi can do is to heal his injuries as much as possible and restore his strength.

Otherwise, if something happens later, he’ll be unable to intervene.

With the Xuanqing Immortal Sect in this state, no one knows what will happen next

.

As Xu Yangzi prepared to continue his retreat to heal his wounds, he suddenly felt a nagging sense of trepidation, as if something terrible was about to happen.

This feeling made it difficult for him to truly calm down, and he felt quite uneasy.

Xu Yangzi had never doubted this kind of sixth sense.

But this feeling made his heart sink again. He

immediately

began to deduce it.

But unfortunately,

the universe was in chaos. He

could not deduce anything. (End of this chapter)
