Terran Guardian - Chapter 3399

Chapter 3379: Troops Headed to the North Star Region

. Seven Fallen Immortals Fell,

Silencing the Outside World.

Similarly,

within the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, many cultivators were

equally shocked. They were astounded by Shen Changqing’s strength as they were by Yan Wuxiang’s.

During the battle with the Xuanqing Immortal Sect, only a handful of high-ranking members of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land had truly participated. The other cultivators were unaware of the details of that battle.

Furthermore,   Yan Wuxiang’s performance

in that battle was not particularly impressive.   The attention of all factions was drawn to the battle between Shen Changqing and the Xuanqing Venerable. Who would have cared less about a mere Immortal Emperor?   But only now, after   the battle with Beichen Yuan,   did the entire Heavenly Demon Holy Land suddenly realize how powerful this Deputy Saint Lord had become.   This strength   alarmed the other Immortal Emperors.   However,   other cultivators held different views,   such as   the many high-ranking members of the Yan family.   Now, after witnessing Shen Changqing’s true strength, the Yan family leaders finally understood the absurdity of their earlier assumptions. Yan   Wuxiang, who had broken through to the semi-saint realm, and Beichen Yuan, whom even his best efforts had failed to subdue, could barely hold out against Shen Changqing before being instantly slain.   This disparity in power was despairing.   Thinking back to their initial attempt to rely on Yan Wuxiang’s power to overthrow Shen Changqing’s rule and seize the throne of the Heavenly Demon Lord,   the Yan family’s backs were drenched in cold sweat.   It had nearly   brought their Yan family to an irretrievable end.   But fortunately,   the Yan family didn’t do anything.   Otherwise,   the Heavenly Demon Holy Land would have been completely devoid of the Yan family.   …   ”Yan Wuxiang—”   Atop Purple Flame Peak, Gu Zhou’s expression was solemn, a faint sense of shock lingering within him.   Yan Wuxiang’s strength was unbelievable to him.   Gu Zhou knew full well that   his opponent’s strength had once been at most comparable to his own, perhaps even three points lower.   The result:   this battle.   This, however, refreshed Gu Zhou’s understanding.   Of the seven fallen immortals, Beichen Yuan was the most powerful. The mere presence of that aura sent a wave of fear through Gu Zhou.   If he were to face such a being, Gu Zhou had no confidence in his ability to contend.   No—   let alone contend.   Even a duel wouldn’t be enough.   Fellow Immortal Emperors,   Beichen Yuan’s strength had reached its peak, perhaps even surpassing it, taking a step into a higher realm.   Yet, even so, he was no match for Yan Wuxiang.   This revealed the   true extent of Yan Wuxiang’s power. Such a surge in strength suddenly put   a tremendous pressure on Gu Zhou.   At the same time,   he was also somewhat skeptical.   After all, Yan Wuxiang’s breakthrough to this level in such a short period of time inevitably left Gu Zhou perplexed.   This wave of doubt, once it emerged, could no longer be suppressed.   Immediately,   Gu Zhou left Ziyan Peak and drifted towards the main peak.   ”   Greetings, Holy Lord!”   ”Senior Brother Gu is here.”   Shen Changqing smiled faintly.   He seemed to have anticipated Gu Zhou’s arrival.   Seeing this,   Gu Zhou bowed and then asked, “I have something I would like to ask the Holy Lord!”   ”Senior Brother Gu, is it related to Yan Wuxiang?”   ”Yes,”   Gu Zhou nodded calmly.   The purpose of his visit was to find out the reason.   Shen Changqing glanced at him and said calmly, “Actually, it’s not a secret. Yan Wuxiang was able to break through because he took the Immortal Pill of Entry into Sainthood.” “The Immortal Pill of Entry   into Sainthood—”   Gu Zhou’s face changed dramatically when he heard this.   Then,   all his doubts   suddenly became clear.   If it was the Immortal Pill of Entry into Sainthood, then it made sense.   Although Gu Zhou had only a vague understanding of this legendary elixir, he knew that taking it could allow a cultivator to enter the semi-saint realm in one step.   ”So, Deputy Saint Master Yan has now achieved immortality?”   ”The Immortal Elixir allows an Immortal Emperor to directly break through to the Semi-Saint realm. Yan Wuxiang has indeed now entered the realm of immortality.”   Shen Changqing nodded.   Gazing at Gu Zhou’s expression, he paused before continuing.   ”But the Immortal Elixir also has a drawback. After taking it, one will never make any further progress, remaining stuck in this realm for eternity.   Furthermore, cultivators who achieve this breakthrough through the use of this elixir are the weakest among the Semi-Saint realm, as they don’t have to endure the immortality tribulation or the Five Decays of the Celestial Being.   This is also the fundamental reason why Yan Wuxiang was unable to slay that fallen immortal, despite being at the Immortal Emperor realm!”   Gu Zhou’s expression instantly brightened.   If   Shen Changqing hadn’t pointed it out himself, he wouldn’t have known of the Immortal Elixir’s drawbacks.   At this time.   Shen Changqing continued, “Three Immortal Pills were originally produced. I was lucky enough to obtain one, another fell into the hands of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect, and the remaining one is missing.   Currently, there are many powerful Immortal Emperors in the Tianyao Holy Land, but in terms of qualifications, Yan Wuxiang is the worst.

Whether it’s you, Fu Zheng, or even the other Heavenly Monarchs, there’s hope for a breakthrough to Semi-Saint in the future.

But Yan Wuxiang is different.

His aptitude is limited to reaching the Immortal Emperor realm. Even with a heaven-defying opportunity, further advancement would be incredibly difficult. “

So—”

“I gave him the Entry into Sainthood Pill so that the Heavenly Demon Holy Land would have another top-tier expert and continue the path to immortality for the other Immortal Emperors!”

Shen Changqing’s words cleared up all of Gu Zhou’s doubts.

At the same time,

he also understood the meaning of the former’s words.

“I was just a little curious, but thank you, Saint Lord, for clearing up my confusion!”

“It’s natural for Senior Brother Gu to have some thoughts on these matters. If Senior Brother Gu weren’t so talented and had the potential to break through to the Semi-Saint realm in the future, he would naturally be the first target to take the Entry into Sainthood Pill.” “

Shen Changqing smiled slightly. How could he hide what was in Gu Zhou’s heart from his eyes?

If some things were said openly, the grudges would naturally be reduced.

Although.

This kind of elixir was obtained by Shen Changqing himself, and it was not up to others to tell whom to give it to, but there was no need to deliberately create some conflicts.

“This time it is the petty mind of Gu!”

Gu Zhou took a deep breath, with a bit of shame on his face.

Shen Changqing waved his hand and smiled indifferently: “You and I are from the same sect. It would be awkward to say these things. Now that the catastrophe has come, the power of the holy land has gradually grown. Brother Gu will have the hope of proving the truth in the future.”

At this moment, the slight dissatisfaction in Gu Zhou’s heart had long since dissipated.

As his inner doubts were resolved, he did not stay any longer. He apologized and left.

Not long after Gu Zhou left, Yan Wuxiang also arrived.

“Holy Lord! “

Yan Wuxiang’s expression became more respectful than before at this moment.

Like other cultivators, the scene of Shen Changqing casually killing Beichen Yuan also shocked the deputy saint master of Tianyao Holy Land.

In the previous battle with Xuanqing Immortal Sect, although Shen Changqing was able to compete with Xuanqing Venerable, that was relying on the power of the treasure.

But this time.

Shen Changqing killed Beichen Yuan with his own strength.

How could Yan Wuxiang not know how strong Beichen Yuan was .

Although the other party was not as good as himself, he was not much worse.

Shen Changqing was able to kill Beichen Yuan easily, which meant that even if the other party did not use other treasures, it would be easy for him to suppress himself.

This also explained.

Why did the other party not worry about his own rebellion when he gave him the Immortal Pill to Enter the Sainthood?

It was because of his strength that he was not afraid of such a semi-saint who proved his way with the pill.

Looking at the person in front of him, Shen Changqing slowly said: “How are things prepared?”

“Everything is ready, just waiting for the order from the Holy Lord, and then we can send troops directly! “

Okay, then tomorrow we will send troops to the North Star Region to destroy the Mingguang Holy Land.”

There was a cold murderous intent in Shen Changqing’s eyes, which flashed away.

The Mingguang Holy Land sent seven fallen immortals to attack this time with the purpose of dealing with the Tianyao Holy Land.

Not to mention that Shen Changqing originally planned to attack the Mingguang Holy Land, even if he didn’t, he would have to respond now.

The Mingguang Holy Land’s intention to destroy the Tianyao Holy Land is already obvious.

To be honest.

With the strength of the fallen immortals such as Beichen Yuan.

If it were the former Tianyao Holy Land, it would definitely be difficult to resist.

Even if it was placed a hundred thousand years ago, Shen Changqing would probably have to use some trump cards.

However.

No matter how that ancient half-saint thought about it, he would never have thought that he could make such a breakthrough in his cultivation in just tens of thousands of years. It would be fine if he

stepped from the late stage of the Immortal Emperor to the peak of the Immortal Emperor, but he also opened up the Five Directions and Five Elements Universe and stepped into it in one breath . Reaching the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor.

This breakthrough in this realm has already brought Shen Changqing’s strength to an astonishing level.

This battle in particular

gave Shen Changqing a clear enough understanding of his own strength.

Beichen Yuan was able to compete with Yan Wuxiang, and the opponent’s strength had obviously broken the limit of the Immortal Emperor and entered the pseudo-saint level.

But even so, he could easily kill the opponent.

Therefore,

in Shen Changqing’s view,

if nothing unexpected happened, his own strength was enough to firmly step into the semi-saint realm.

Even if facing an ordinary immortal semi-saint, Shen Changqing would have the confidence to fight without using any trump cards.

This time,

if he could destroy the Mingguang Holy Land

and obtain the cultivation resources of such a force,

then

Shen Changqing would be confident that he could make further progress in strength without making any breakthroughs in his cultivation.

…

A day

passed in a flash.

Shortly after the seven fallen immortals fell, and the traces of the battle had yet to fully subside, various factions were still watching the events of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land.

On the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land’s side, a massive army was dispatched.

Immortal boats shattered the void, emitting a terrifying aura before crashing through the barriers of the immortal realm and disappearing from the sight of the numerous cultivators.

This scene

shocked all factions.

“With such a massive army, what exactly is the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land planning?!”
