Terran Guardian - Chapter 3428

Chapter 3408 Questioning

Shen Changqing didn’t explain much. With a flick of his sleeve, thirty-six small banners soared into the air, instantly disappearing into the void surrounding Xuantian Dao Sect.

Instantly,

thirty-six beams of immortal light shot straight into the sky.

The vast and awe-inspiring phenomenon shocked all parties.

The entire Divine Heaven Realm was shaken. Many cultivators looked towards Xuantian Dao Sect. They saw immortal energy materializing, seemingly drawn together in a single direction.

“Immortal energy is like an ocean! How could the Xuantian Dao Sect have such a method?”

“Swish! Such astonishing immortal energy! If one could cultivate in such a place, wouldn’t their cultivation progress be a thousand times faster?!”

Many cultivators were deeply shocked, their faces filled with unconcealed greed. Why do

immortal mountains and blessed lands

attract so many forces?

The reason is

that immortal mountains and blessed lands offer an excellent cultivation environment and rich immortal energy, allowing cultivation to achieve twice the results with half the effort.

However, in the Divine Heaven Realm, even the top immortal mountains and blessed lands cannot match the concentration of immortal energy found in the current Xuantian Dao Sect.

This vast immortal energy, like a sea of clouds, was awe-inspiring. Furthermore

,

even outside the Divine Heaven Realm,

within the Primal Chaos,

powerful beings sensed this immortal light piercing the Ninth Heaven and cast their gazes in awe.

“That’s the Xuantian Dao Sect… With such concentrated immortal energy, their spirit-gathering formation must be at least at the seventh level!”

An ancient Immortal Emperor was horrified.

But then,

within the Xuantian Dao Sect,

a blue-robed cultivator looked up. His eyes shone with a radiant aura that shook the nine heavens, shattering all gazes.

In an instant,

these ancient powerhouses trembled within, never daring to even peek at the Xuantian Dao Sect again.

“Taixuzi!”

An Immortal Emperor took a deep breath, his mind still lingering.

Although he had already understood this person’s strength in the Primal Chaos, the fact that he could now suppress everything with a single glance was a testament to his terrifying power.

Elsewhere,

Shen Changqing withdrew his gaze.

“Grandmaster!”

Yang Daoxu’s expression changed slightly.

As an Immortal Emperor, he naturally sensed the probe.

Shen Changqing’s expression was indifferent: “Don’t worry. With me here, they have no right to act recklessly!”

These were merely Immortal Emperors with no hope of breaking through to the Semi-Saint stage, not worth mentioning.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Shen Changqing might have been a bit wary.

But now,

he could only say: “

I will destroy as many Immortal Emperors of this level as I can.”

It was simply because Shen Changqing was too lazy to take action. Otherwise, with the strength of these ancient Immortal Emperors, he would have easily annihilated them.

Hearing Shen Changqing’s words, Yang Daoxu didn’t take it too seriously.

With this ancestor around,

he figured there wouldn’t be any problems. What concerned him more was the changes in the sect’s cultivation environment.

Compared to before,

the concentration of immortal energy within the vast Xuantian Dao Sect had increased several times.

This astonishing increase filled Yang Daoxu’s face with shock.

With this formation in place

, over time, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s strength would be greatly enhanced.

If there was a negative impact, it was that the formation caused a sharp drop in immortal energy within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles from the Xuantian Dao Sect.

After all,

immortal energy doesn’t just appear out of thin air.

When immortal energy suddenly becomes dense in one place, it means it’s being plundered from somewhere else.

However, Yang Daoxu saw this as a minor issue.

Not to mention that there weren’t many powerful forces within the hundreds of millions of miles of the Xuantian Dao Sect, even if there were, what would it matter?   The law of the

jungle !   The Xuantian Dao Sect now possessed sufficient strength, so why should they fear the disapproval of other forces?   To be blunt,   with its current strength, even annihilating the entire Divine Heaven Realm would be a piece of cake.   Furthermore,   with the frequent catastrophes that plagued the Divine Wind State,   the Xuantian Dao Sect played an indelible role in ensuring that the Divine Heaven Realm remained unaffected by these catastrophes.   Consequently,   Yang Daoxu was unconcerned about the plundering of immortal energy.   ”Alright, now that this matter is over, I will continue my retreat. Unless it concerns the life and death of the sect, do not disturb me!”   Shen Changqing said, and then disappeared.   Yang Daoxu bowed respectfully towards where Shen Changqing had stood.   ”Disciple, I respectfully bid farewell to the Grandmaster!”   —   Immortal Qi surged.   The entire Xuantian Dao Sect was abuzz with excitement.   The Nine Peaks True Disciple!   Inner and Outer Sect disciples! Their   faces were now filled with joy.   In the past, the cultivation environment saw immortal Qi surge several times, a truly formidable opportunity for any cultivator.   However,   the proportional increase in immortal Qi and the proportional increase in cultivation speed are difficult to align.   For example, a multi-fold increase in immortal Qi concentration doesn’t necessarily mean a multi-fold increase   in cultivation speed. Improving cultivation   involves many factors, and   the amount of immortal Qi   is just one of them.   Regardless,   this multi-fold increase in immortal Qi concentration will at least significantly increase cultivation efficiency.   Even if it doesn’t double, it will at least increase by 40% to 50%.   Don’t underestimate 40% to 50% efficiency.   Many cultivators have average talents and may never have the possibility of breaking through to become powerful or even immortal kings in their entire lives.

But with this 40% to 50% increase in cultivation efficiency, not only would one have the opportunity to ascend to the rank of Great Immortal King, but even reach the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Yang Daoxu was also in high spirits at the changes in the sect .

However,

his good mood only lasted a few days before being shattered.

Within the sect’s immortal hall,

several ancient immortals arrived.

“Greetings, Sect Master Yang!”

“What are you all here for?”

Yang Daoxu looked at the ancient immortals before him, his expression calm.

Taiyun Dao Sect!

Qishan Immortal Sect!

These were all forces within the Divine Heaven Realm.

However, their strength was modest, possessing only the foundation of ancient immortals at best.

Now that Xuantian Dao Sect was nominally the overlord of the Divine Heaven Realm, all the forces within the vast immortal realm had bowed in submission, naturally including the several ancient immortal sects.

At this moment,

the Sect Master of Taiyun Dao Sect, Taiyunzi, bowed and spoke in a deep voice.

“Some time ago, your sect set up a spirit-gathering formation, plundering the immortal energy of the surrounding

immortal mountains. All of our sects were affected, so we have come here to ask Sect Master Yang for some leniency!” “The formation is set up, and the means of plundering immortal energy are beyond the control of cultivators. I am afraid I cannot agree to your request!”

Yang Daoxu shook his head.

His words

made the faces of several people look a little ugly.

Tai Yunzi’s tone was a little unfriendly: “All of our sects respect Xuantian Dao Sect as the superior sect, and we have never reduced the resources we provide every year. Now that Xuantian Dao Sect has done this, it makes us feel disheartened!” As soon as

these words came out,

Yang Daoxu smiled.

However, his smile made them feel inexplicably frightened.

Then,

Yang Daoxu’s smile suddenly disappeared, and his eyes became cold and stern.

“Shenfeng Province is currently in turmoil. First, there was the Dark Unrest, then the Immortal Province Catastrophe. Countless immortal realms have been destroyed. Of the two hundred mid-level immortal realms, how many remain?”

“The fact that Shentian Realm is unaffected by the catastrophe is the work of our Xuantian Dao Sect.

You have contributed a few resources in exchange for the capital to survive the catastrophe. What right do you have to express dissatisfaction?”

This statement

caused Tai Yunzi and the others to change their expressions.

But before they could say anything, Yang Daoxu’s voice rang out again.

“If it weren’t for the Xuantian Dao Sect guarding the Immortal Realm, and Shentian Realm falling, your sect’s lineage would have long since been wiped out. How could you possibly stand before me and speak today?

Shentian Realm respects the Xuantian Dao Sect. I am giving you a chance to recuperate. You should be grateful.

If you dare say another word—”

Yang Daoxu’s face was filled with murderous intent. A terrifying aura erupted from him, instantly overwhelming the entire hall.

“I guarantee that from now on, there will be no place for you in the Divine Heaven Realm!”

Boom—

the words fell.

The void shattered.

The ancient immortals, led by Tai Yunzi, felt an irresistible pressure and fell to their knees, their bones shattering to dust below their knees.

Terror filled their faces.

“Master Yang, calm down!”

Only then did they truly remember that the one before them was a being aspiring to become an Immortal Emperor.

The Xuantian Dao Sect,

moreover, reigned supreme over the entire Divine Heaven Realm.

Forget plundering a bit of immortal energy; even annihilating their sect would be a piece of cake.

As for

the possibility that destroying a subordinate sect would draw criticism from other factions, that question simply didn’t exist.

In the face of absolute strength, rumors and rumors were worthless.

Ultimately,

the world of cultivation values strength above all else.

With a strong fist,

no problem is a problem.

“Get out!”

Yang Daoxu flicked his sleeves, unleashing a terrifying force that instantly ejected Tai Yunzi and the others from the Xuantian Dao Sect.

Once they regained their composure, they exchanged glances at each other’s bewildered appearances, then, without a word, turned away in dejection.

Within the sect,

Qingmu appeared.

“Why are you so angry, Sect Master?”

“It seems the Xuantian Dao Sect has been too low-key these past few hundred thousand years, so low-key that it’s causing some sects to harbor inappropriate thoughts.

A few mere ancient immortals dare to question me—they truly don’t know their place!”

Yang Daoxu’s inner fury faded, but his expression remained icy.

If hundreds of thousands of years ago, when

the Xuantian Dao Sect was weakened,

these ancient immortals would have come to question them, and Yang Daoxu wouldn’t have argued.

But now,

with four Immortal Emperors, the Xuantian Dao Sect reigned supreme over the Divine Realm, having safeguarded the stability of the Immortal Realm during the catastrophe,

these forces still dared to advance. This was a disrespect to the Xuantian Dao Sect.

For a moment, he paused.

Yang Daoxu wanted to annihilate all these cultivators.

Sparing them was considered a mercy on his part.

Qingmu smiled faintly, “The Immortal Realm has been peaceful for too long, inevitably giving some people the wrong impression. Since the Sect Master is dissatisfied, then send someone to destroy them.

Now that the catastrophe has erupted, countless immortal realms and forces have been destroyed.

A few ancient immortal sects can hardly cause any waves.”

Qingmu had no intention of getting angry at Tai Yunzi and the others for coming to his door. In his opinion, these ant-like existences were not worth his anger.

But the lesson he deserved must be taught.

Otherwise,

it would make people look down on the Xuantian Dao Sect.
