Terran Guardian - Chapter 3417

Chapter 3397 Leaving the Tianxing Territory

. Time flew by.

More than half a month had passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, news of the Tailuo Immortal Mine had intensified, shocking many immortal realms.

The spread of a few Tailuo Immortal Stones in particular astonished numerous factions.

Such treasures, capable of enabling ancient immortals to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, or even further their cultivation, were truly coveted no matter where they were found.

Even many immortal forces, upon hearing this news, turned their attention to the Tianxing Territory.

For a moment,

the atmosphere throughout the vast Tianxing Territory grew more serious.

Many local factions felt a subtle pressure.

Consequently,

the Nanchen and Taihao Immortal Sects were the first to become restless.

…

“Greetings, Holy Lord!”

“Are you two here regarding the Tailuo Immortal Mine?”

Inside the Immortal Palace, Shen Changqing, dressed in a sapphire robe, appeared composed. Before him stood the Jingyang and Sinan Immortal Emperors.

Hearing this…

The two exchanged glances, neither intending to conceal anything, and nodded.

“Holy Lord, I hope you will enlighten me!”

“The rumors are true. The Tailuo Immortal Mine does indeed hold a profound secret. The endless stream of Immortal Emperors from the Heavenly Demon Holy Land is also related to the Tailuo Immortal Mine.”

Shen Changqing bluntly revealed the details of the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

Finally,

looking at the two Immortal Emperors before him, he slowly added, “The news of the Tailuo Immortal Mine has spread. Ordinary forces are no longer qualified to meddle.

If nothing unexpected happens, the situation in the Tianxing Territory will not be peaceful.

You two sects are local forces within the Tianxing Territory. If you wish to preserve your foundation, refrain from interfering too much.”

“Holy Lord…”

Immortal Emperor Jingyang was about to say something, but Shen Changqing raised his hand to interrupt him.

“This is all I have to say. It is up to you to decide. If you continue, I will be powerless.”

Seeing this,

Immortal Emperor Jingyang swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and immediately stood up to take his leave with Immortal Emperor Sinan.

…

leaving the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

Both Immortal Emperors had complex expressions.

“Fellow Daoist Jingyang, what are your thoughts on this matter?”

Immortal Emperor Sinan asked solemnly.

After this

, Immortal Emperor Jingyang remained silent for a moment, then shook his head. “This matter cannot be underestimated. As the other person said, the Tailuo Immortal Mine is beyond the reach of ordinary forces.

Next, the Taihao Immortal Sect is preparing to close its gates and withdraw from the outside world’s disputes!”

“At this point, this is the only way.”

Immortal Emperor Sinan nodded slightly, clearly sharing the same sentiment.

While the situation hadn’t reached that point yet, Shen Changqing’s words and demeanor revealed the seriousness of the matter.

As both were sect leaders, how could they not see the underlying problem?

Close the gates.

If they could avert this catastrophe, that would be best.

Otherwise—

they would have to make their final plans.

…

As the two were leaving,

Yan Wuxiang arrived.

“Holy Lord!”

“How are the preparations going?”

“Everything is ready. Nearly 70% of the Holy Land’s disciples are willing to leave together!”

Yan Wuxiang reported.

Seventy percent!

Shen Changqing wasn’t surprised to hear this.

Many cultivators who joined the Heavenly Demon Holy Land sought a safe haven for cultivation, coveting the Holy Land’s many cultivation resources.

Their loyalty was uncertain.

Now that the Heavenly Demon Holy Land was leaving the Tianxing Region and entering the Primordial Chaos to escape the catastrophe, the future was uncertain. Naturally, these disciples wouldn’t be willing to go along.

Seventy percent

was actually quite good.

Shen Changqing’s initial thought was that half would be sufficient.

Nearly twelve million disciples.

Seventy percent.

That’s over eight million.

That’s already a significant number.

Finally.

Shen Changqing said, “Activate the formation. Have all cultivators willing to leave proceed to the Ancient Buddha World and await orders. The remaining unwilling ones will remain within the holy ground for the time being.

After a year, the restrictions on the holy ground will be lifted, and they will be able to leave on their own.” “

Also, if any cultivators exploit this opportunity to cause unrest, they must be suppressed with ruthless force . Show no mercy!”

A cold glint flashed in Shen Changqing’s eyes. Yan Wuxiang accepted the order and withdrew .

Then,

Shen Changqing took a step forward, and when he reappeared, he had arrived at the Demon God’s Tomb.

He gazed at the Demon God’s Tomb before him, and a terrifying divine power emanated from him, instantly enveloping the entire tomb.

The next moment,

the void trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks suddenly emerged. A terrifying dark chasm appeared behind the shattered space, as if some terrifying existence lurked within.

“Rise!”

Shen Changqing shouted, and the vast Demon God’s Tomb vanished from the space before him.

Then…

Shen Changqing executed numerous hand seals, and the restraining power of the Great Dao descended upon the Demon God Tomb. The vast space suddenly shifted, shrinking at a visible speed.

An unknown amount of time passed before all movement vanished.

Finally,

a chaos-colored bead landed in Shen Changqing’s palm.

“Done!”

Looking at the bead in his hand, Shen Changqing smiled calmly.

The bead sealed the Demon God Tomb.

Ultimately,…

The Demon God’s Tomb was created by the Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor, known as the Demon God. Containing his immense Dao rhyme power, it was difficult for ordinary Immortal Emperors to destabilize it.

Even for a top-tier Immortal Emperor, truly taking the Demon God’s Tomb was a challenge.

The Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor’s strength was extraordinary, and the power he left behind was far from easy to destabilize.

But

Shen Changqing was different.

While he was indeed a peak Immortal Emperor, his power rivaled that of a Semi-Saint.

Even the power within the Demon God’s Tomb, no matter how formidable, pales in comparison to a Semi-Saint.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing’s plan to take the Demon God’s Tomb was not as difficult as he had anticipated.   He had his own reasons for

doing so .   The Demon God’s Tomb, after all, was the burial place of generations of Immortal Emperors from the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.   Within it   lay a wealth of opportunities.   While these opportunities were of no use to Shen Changqing right now, they could be of immense value to other cultivators.   More importantly, they were.   After countless years of accumulation and sedimentation, the Demon God Tomb has already nurtured numerous beings. If these beings were to ascend, they would be of great importance to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.   If some talented geniuses emerged, they would further enhance the Holy Land’s strength.   Moreover   , leaving this item behind would benefit other forces, so Shen Changqing intended to take it away.   Shen Changqing casually placed the Chaos Orb into the Heavenly Universe and vanished.   No one noticed   the Demon God Tomb’s disappearance.   It was only when Yan Wuxiang approached again and mentioned the Demon God Tomb that Shen Changqing informed him.   ”I have temporarily sealed the Demon God Tomb and taken it away. You do not need to concern yourself with this matter.”   ”Saint Lord, your foresight is profound. I admire you!”   Yan Wuxiang offered another subtle compliment. He was now becoming increasingly adept at these tasks.   Shen Changqing asked, “How many disciples have already left for the Ancient Buddha World?”   ”Three million disciples have already gone. In a few days, it shouldn’t be a problem,”   Yan Wuxiang replied truthfully.   Shen Changqing nodded. “Yes, remember, don’t alert the enemy!”   ”I understand.”   …   While Yan Wuxiang was arranging various matters, Shen Changqing had already traveled throughout the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, collecting whatever he could find of interest.   This   included the Red Sun Immortal Tree on the main peak.   This immortal tree had grown there for years, and later imbued with the Nine-Leaf Dao Rhyme, it had undergone a miraculous transformation, surpassing the capabilities of ordinary immortal trees.   Shen Changqing certainly couldn’t keep such a thing.   Honestly,   in Shen Changqing’s view,   the Red Sun Immortal Tree’s importance rivaled even that of the Demon God’s Tomb.   Apart from anything else,   the mere presence of the Nine-Leaf Dao Rhyme within the Red Sun Immortal Tree alone was enough to dramatically increase its value.   Given its perennial growth, the Red Sun Immortal Tree’s roots spread far and wide. Seizing the entire tree without damaging it required considerable effort on Shen Changqing’s part.   A few days later.   As the last disciple left, Shen Changqing snapped his fingers, and a drop of blood emanated from his fingertip, transforming into a figure identical to him.   Shen Changqing’s purpose in leaving behind this blood avatar was to monitor the situation in the Tianxing Region and for other purposes.   After completing this step,   Shen Changqing also stepped into the formation, his figure disappearing in an instant.   …   The Ancient Buddha World.   This world had once suffered from the turmoil of darkness, but is now gradually recovering. This   vast world   is shrouded in a terrifying Dao rhyme.   This Dao rhyme power was personally deployed by Shen Changqing.   Its primary purpose is to seal off this world and prevent premature leakage of information.   At this moment,   numerous cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, led by Yan Wuxiang, were already waiting here.   The entire Ancient Buddha World was unaware of this unusual situation.   Of course,   the Ancient Buddha World is vast.   Millions of cultivators scattered here are like a drop of water in the ocean, naturally unlikely to attract the attention of other forces.   In addition, with the intervention of other Immortal Emperors, who deliberately concealed the aura, even if other cultivators were present, it would be difficult to detect any clues.   Of course.   If a cultivator used a means of communication, he would find that the entire Ancient Buddha World was blocked by a terrifying force, completely isolated from the outside world.   But this isolation did not always exist.   It would disappear in a few years at most.   When they saw Shen Changqing coming, Yan Wuxiang and other high-level officials of the Holy Land hurriedly saluted.   ”Greetings to the Holy Lord!”   ”Are you all here?”   As Shen Changqing spoke, his divine sense had already covered everything around him. He saw that this place was a deep valley, and many cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Holy Land had gathered here.   Hearing this.   Yan Wuxiang said respectfully: “All the cultivators of the Holy Land are here, waiting for the Holy Lord’s order!”
