Terran Guardian - Chapter 3411

Chapter 3391: The Actions of Shenyang Xianting

“The Yunlei Immortal Sect is gone!”

“Who could have imagined this battle would escalate to this point—”

Many cultivators’ eyes were filled with subtle dread as they watched the terrifying, overwhelming force of the Dao rhyme.

The destruction of an ancient Immortal Sect, steeped in the eyes of the masses, was a profound shock. Immortal

Semi-Saints

were mere legends to many cultivators.

Countless cultivators went their entire lives without ever glimpsing their true form.

In this battle,

several Immortals took action,

and even an Ancient Semi-Saint fell.

The shock this sent to the other cultivators was unimaginable.

However,

what shocked them most was the strength of the Heavenly Demon Saint.

At the Immortal Emperor level, he could confront an Ancient Semi-Saint.

This strength

clearly transcended the boundaries of the Immortal Emperor and reached a higher level.

Soon,

word of the East Abyss region spread widely, and

for a time,

the Divine Wind Province was shaken.

Even those supreme immortal realms, upon hearing this news, involuntarily cast their gazes towards the higher-level immortal realms.

…

Shenyang Immortal Court.

Within the palace,

the Shenyang Immortal Emperor sat upright upon his throne, his twelve-tasseled crown drooping. Each bead seemed to nurture a galaxy, imbued with brilliant divine light. His imperial robes emanated a terrifying aura of Dao, causing the vast void of the palace to feel a pressure.

Within the palace void ,

a phantom from the Dongyuan Realm emerged.

All immortal officials watched the scene unfold, their faces shifting with varying expressions.

After a long moment,

the image faded.

The Shenyang Immortal Emperor chuckled softly, “Shen Hong, the Heavenly Demon Saint Lord… It seems our Shenfeng Province has indeed produced a formidable demon!”

“Your Majesty, rumors spread that Shen Hong is a reincarnated sage. His strength is not surprising!”

As the Shenyang Immortal Emperor finished speaking, an immortal palace official bowed and said, “Heavenly Demon Saint Lord Shen Hong… It seems our Shenfeng Province has indeed produced a formidable demon!

“

The former glanced at the other and shook his head slightly. “Though re-cultivating saints are rare in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, they are not uncommon. Have you ever heard of a re-cultivating saint who has achieved this level of skill?

This person’s foundation is extremely strong, and it is definitely not something that can be achieved by the so-called saint’s foundation.”

At this point

, the Shenyang Immortal Emperor paused, his eyes falling on the Dayi Immortal Emperor.

“Prince Yi once went to the Tianxing Territory to watch the battle. I wonder what he thinks of this boy?”

Hearing this.

Immortal Emperor Dayi stepped out and bowed respectfully. “Your Majesty, my understanding of Shen Hong is limited, but there’s one thing worth explaining: his strength has risen rapidly.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, when he attained the Immortal Emperor realm, his strength was only slightly better than that of cultivators like the Black Tortoise Immortal Emperor.

Yet, hundreds of thousands of years later, he’s become powerful enough to suppress the Nine Mountain Immortal Emperor.

And now, in the less than 100,000 years since the battle in the Heavenly Star Region, his power has reached a point where he can rival Changsheng.

As Your Majesty has said, even a saint refining their cultivation wouldn’t necessarily achieve this. Even with his exceptional talent, this individual must have possessed a great opportunity!”

Immortal Emperor Dayi’s words were unbiased,

reflecting his honest opinion. Honestly,

upon learning that Shen Changqing had repelled two ancient Semi-Saints, Emperor Dayi was stunned for a long time.

After all—

that was an ancient Semi-Saint.

In terms of strength, he

was far superior to the likes of Xiang Nian.

Although neither of the two ancient Semi-Saints was at their peak, their strength was equally formidable.

After all,

according to information received by the Divine Sun Immortal Court, both Jiang Linyuan and Venerable Jueqing were ancient Semi-Saints, aiming for the Fifth Tribulation Realm.

Xiang Nian, though an immortal, was only a First Tribulation Semi-Saint.

Even if severely injured, the former was no match for the latter.

Furthermore,

even against Xiang Nian, the Great Yi Immortal Emperor had no confidence in his ability to defeat him.

Although he had previously injured the opponent, he had actually used all his strength.

Even so, he

had only barely injured Xiang Nian.

For an immortal,

such an injury was nothing.

Compared to Shen Changqing’s record of severely inflicting a direct blow on Jiang Linyuan and repelling Venerable Jueqing, the disparity is unimaginable.

It’s hard to imagine.

Back then, the Heavenly Demon Saint Lord had only been able to defeat the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor, but not to slay him.

Tens of thousands of years later,

the opponent’s strength had reached this level.

If such strength had existed tens of thousands of years ago, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor would have had no chance of escaping the Heavenly Star Region alive.

“Opportunity—”

Immortal Emperor Shenyang’s eyes were subtle, and then he shook his head.

“Prince Yi, on behalf of the Shenyang Immortal Court, will travel to the Heavenly Star Region. If the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land is willing to serve the Immortal Court, the Shenyang Immortal Court will resolve the troubles facing the Hidden Blade Sect and the Unfeeling Immortal Sect!”

“A single Heavenly Demon Sacred Land isn’t worth the Immortal Court facing two ancient immortal sects, is it?”

Immortal Emperor Dayi frowned slightly.

While the Shenyang Immortal Court, with its formidable foundation, wasn’t afraid of the two ancient immortal sects, in the current situation, provoking other factions for the sake of a single Immortal Emperor was a bit unwise.

The Immortal Emperor Shenyang’s expression was calm. “With the arrival of the Great Tribulation, it is inevitable that this person will break through to the Semi-Saint stage

. This era is different from the ancient times after all. Today, the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is full of geniuses, but who will truly stand out from the tide of the times is still unknown. Regardless, this person is worthy of the Shenyang Immortal Court’s investment.

In addition, if this person is willing to serve the Immortal Court, you should bring him back to the Shenyang Immortal Court. I also want to see what is so special about this Heavenly Demon Saint!”

“Your Majesty!”

The Immortal Emperor Dayi said no more and respectfully accepted the order

.

The Illusionary God Realm.

The Tianzhu Mansion.

The news of the Dongyuan Realm shook the entire Tianzhu Mansion.

The usually composed Bai Lianchuan now had a look of shock on his face.

“With an Immortal Emperor standing on par with an Immortal Semi-Saint, this man’s strength has risen to this level!”

Back then,

when the Tianzhu Mansion had invited him to take action against the Mountain and Sea Holy Land, his power, while formidable, hadn’t reached this level.

Back then,

Shen Changqing was formidable

, but Bai Lianchuan believed he could have crushed him with his full strength.

But now,

in just how little time had passed,

the Heavenly Demon Saint had already broken through to this level.

Back then, Bai Lianqing, halfway to the Immortal Realm, ignited all his strength to strike a Saint-Slaying Sword, only to barely injure Qu Tiangang, sending him succumbing to the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

But Qu Tiangang, no matter how powerful he was, was only a First Tribulation Semi-Saint. How could he possibly rival the Ancient Semi-Saint?

And now.

Shen Changqing, able to face two ancient Semi-Saints head-on, even severely injured, was already far more powerful than Bai Lian Qingfeng of his day.

No—

strictly speaking.

Ever since Shen Changqing defeated the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor, his power had already surpassed Bai Lian Qingfeng’s.

After all, no matter how powerful the latter was, he could never rival the tenth-ranked powerhouse on the Immortal Emperor Monument. However,

after tens of thousands of years, his power had already increased so significantly, which naturally caught Bai Lianchuan by surprise.

Off to the side,

Bai Lianfeng was also shocked.

The news from the Dongyuan Territory had also left him utterly horrified.

“Fellow Daoist Shenhong’s improvement in strength is truly astonishing. Who could have imagined that he could reach this point in just a few hundred thousand years!”

“But… this isn’t a bad thing for our Tianzhu Mansion,”

Bai Lianfeng said gravely.

Tianzhu Mansion and the Heavenly Demon Holy Land have a close partnership, and the latter’s strength is naturally useful to the former.

This means that Tianzhu Mansion will gain a powerful ally.

The great calamity is now approaching.

The problems faced by all immortal realms were severe.

Even within the Illusionary God Realm, the Tianzhu Mansion was under attack from Yunjinzhou.

It was precisely because of its deep foundation and the numerous connections it had accumulated over the years that it was able to maintain its stability.

Otherwise,

the Tianzhu Mansion would have long since been annihilated during the catastrophe.

In fact,

the situation in the Illusionary God Realm had been bleak for tens of thousands of years, with many established factions gradually wiping out during the catastrophe.

Millions of years of heritage were destroyed in an instant.

Therefore,

if the Tianzhu Mansion wanted to stabilize itself during the catastrophe, it must accumulate sufficient strength.

Even if its own strength increased, external assistance was essential.

Bai Lianchuan pondered for a moment, then said, “You will be fully responsible for the Heavenly Demon Holy Land. Any requests from these factions must be met immediately.”

“No problem!”

Bai Lianfeng nodded.

Then,

Bai Lianchuan looked outside Tianzhu City, his gaze settling on the towering Burial Soldier Peak.

“The embryo of the Innate Emperor Weapon, nurtured for years, is nearing its birthdate. Once such a treasure is revealed, it will undoubtedly draw attention from all quarters.

It will be incredibly difficult for the Tianzhu Mansion to maintain its heritage!”

Bai Lianchuan’s words made the other Tianzhu Mansion elders look serious.

The Innate Emperor Weapon!

It’s crucial to the Tianzhu Mansion’s success!

Such a treasure cannot be lost.

Everyone knew the significance of the Innate Emperor Weapon. Once it was revealed, it would undoubtedly attract competition from other factions.

If the Tianzhu Mansion were in its heyday, they wouldn’t have feared such problems.

But the problem is,

the current

Tianzhu Mansion’s strength is far from what it was in its heyday. While there are some Immortal Emperor-level experts, only Bai Lianchuan has truly reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Since Bai Lian Qingfeng’s fall, the Tianzhu Mansion has lost its greatest trump card.

Hence,

the emergence of the Innate Emperor Weapon.

For the Tianzhu Mansion, this presents a double-edged sword. Preserving it would be best, but failing would be catastrophic.

In this situation, Tianzhu Mansion cannot do without external assistance.

The most likely source of support for Tianzhu Mansion is the Tianyao Holy Land.

Of course,

Bai Lianchuan couldn’t be sure that the Tianyao Saint Lord would remain detached from the Xiantian Emperor Weapon. However, rumors circulated that the other party was a saint who had been re-cultivated, and his background was unfathomable. The allure of a treasure like the Xiantian Emperor Weapon to him was at least not as great as it was for other cultivators. Furthermore,

having

collaborated with him several times, Bai Lianchuan had some understanding of his character.

Ultimately,

collaborating with him was at least much more reliable than collaborating with other forces.
