Terran Guardian - Chapter 3430

Chapter 3410 Weird Sea of Blood

“The Immortal Mine of Immortality!”

King Xiang frowned as he gazed at the ancient mine before him, as if something within it terrified him.

With his current strength, if he couldn’t find the immortality, there would be very few threats to him.

However,

facing the Tailuo Mine head-on,

King Xiang felt a sense of foreboding.

Beside him

stood a young man.

His white Taoist robe was spotless, the seemingly ordinary material concealing a mystical charm. A jade hairpin pierced his bun, and his flowing white hair flowed like moonlight.

“This Immortal Mine of Immortality contains the body of a saint, but it seems likely that the body has already become strange. It’s only a matter of time before it awakens!”

The white-haired young man spoke slowly, his eyes full of history and depth, as if he could see through the essence of the world.

Upon hearing this,

King Xiang’s expression suddenly became solemn.

“The corpse of a saint!”

He didn’t doubt the white-haired Taoist’s words.

The reason was simple.

The other party’s name was Xiang Taixu, the most powerful of the ancient Xiang family.

He had attained enlightenment since ancient times and was now only half a step away from the saint realm.

Therefore,

if the ancestor said so, then he must be right.

Thinking of this,

King Xiang couldn’t help but ask, “If the saint’s corpse is harboring something mysterious, wouldn’t it be a big problem if it were to resurrect?”

That was a saint!

Even if he had fallen, his body still possessed infinite mysteries and should not be underestimated.

Xiang Taixu’s expression was calm: “This immortal mine was transformed by the power of the saint. The Tianyao Holy Land has been fully engaged in mining the immortal mine for so many years, which has weakened the power of this saint’s corpse.

Even if this saint’s corpse were to emerge, its strength would still be far inferior to that of a peak saint!”

“What’s more—”

Xiang Taixu looked away into the void, his expression becoming indifferent.

“The forces arriving this time are not limited to our ancient Xiang family. A strangely transformed corpse of a saint can’t cause much trouble!”

Having said this,

Xiang Taixu returned his gaze to the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

Elsewhere,

upon hearing this, King Xiang also stopped thinking about the matter.

In his view,

a saint’s corpse was certainly terrifying,

but his own ancestor was no ordinary person either.

As an ancient semi-saint who had already reached the level of the Nine Tribulations in ancient times, Xiang Taixu’s continued existence in the world was enough to demonstrate his terrifying background.

At this moment,

the void trembled.

The next moment,

space silently vanished.

Several figures emerged.

Upon seeing these figures, Xiang Taixu’s eyes turned slightly cold.

“Gu Lan!”

The arrival was Gu Lan, the War King of the Shenyang Immortal Court, along with several other Heavenly Kings who aspired to immortality.

Gu Lan bowed as Xiang Taixu cast his gaze.

“Venerable Taixu, long time no see!”

“Five Semi-Saints, the Divine Sun Celestial Emperor sent you here. Aren’t you afraid of staying in the Heavenly Star Region forever?”

Xiang Taixu spoke indifferently, no emotion emanating from his voice. Gu Lan,

in response,

gave a forced smile: “Venerable Taixu, you’re too kind. We’ve come here today for the Immortal Mine of Immortality. As for the dispute between the Divine Sun Celestial Court and the Taikoo Xiang Family, why not put it aside for now?

If our two families were to settle the score first, it would only pave the way for other factions.

I believe this is not the situation Venerable Taixu wishes to see.”

Upon

hearing this, Xiang Taixu remained silent, merely giving Gu Lan a deep look before ignoring him.

Of the Five Immortals of the Divine Sun Celestial Court, only Gu Lan was truly worthy of his attention. Of

course ,

even in Gu Lan’s presence, Xiang Taixu showed only a modicum of concern

. After all,

Gu Lan’s title of War King didn’t change the fact that he was merely an Eight Tribulations Semi-Saint.

As an ancient semi-saint who achieved enlightenment in the ancient ages and had already reached the Nine Tribulations level in the ancient times, Xiang Taixu was fully qualified to look down upon the semi-saint realm.

Ordinary immortals were not worthy of his attention, and only masters of Gu Lan’s level could barely hold a candle to him.

Soon,

the masters of the Shenyang Immortal Court arrived, and soon,

the immortals of other factions also appeared one after another.

In fact,

like the Shenyang Immortal Court, the masters of these factions had actually arrived long ago, but had simply remained hidden in the void and had not truly appeared.

Only now

did they truly emerge.

…

“The five immortals of the Shenyang Immortal Court, led by War King Gu Lan!”

“That’s Venerable Dongming of the Taiyi Holy Land—”

“Venerable Lianzhen of the Zixiao Immortal Sect has also arrived, and that one looks like Venerable Xuanyun!”

“Venerable Wuqiu of the Ancient Chan Holy Land!”

As the top masters from various factions arrived, the expressions of many cultivators changed again and again.

Immortals, once rarely seen, now seemed to appear in large numbers.

The aura emanating from each ancient immortal was terrifying.

Even a mere trace of their presence could easily suppress an Immortal Emperor.

Meanwhile,

Shen Changqing observed this scene, his expression calm.

He knew full well

that while Semi-Saints were rare in this era, a small number of them, unafraid of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, had emerged in this era. Furthermore,

heaven-defying elixirs like the Profound Heaven Crossing Pill could delay the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, allowing Semi-Saints to walk the mortal world.

While

the probability was low, the sheer number of incoming forces was significant.

If a single supreme power brings several Immortals, then when so many supreme powers gather together, the number of Immortals that appear is quite astonishing.

“It’s a pity the Seven Profound Divine Tower isn’t here. Otherwise, it could have captured the auras of all these semi-saints, giving us more confidence in future encounters!”

Shen Changqing lamented.

He was only an incarnation now, so the Seven Profound Divine Tower couldn’t possibly be here.

At that moment,

Shen Changqing’s eyes narrowed.

He saw another powerful aura descending from there, so vast and mighty that it seemed capable of suppressing everything.

“People from the Guanming Immortal Sect are here too!”

Shen Changqing looked at the white-robed Taoist priest at the head, his expression changing slightly before calming down again.

Venerable Mingyao!

He was an old acquaintance.

Shen Changqing wasn’t too surprised that the Guanming Immortal Sect had sent this person here.

After suppressing the Qingxuan Holy Land, the Guanming Immortal Sect established a foothold in the Shenyang Territory, and Venerable Mingyao was the one responsible for handling this matter.

Since news of a saint emerging in the Tianxing Territory, it was perfectly normal for them to arrive in person.

A Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint.

Even among the many powerful beings of today, he was a top-tier being.

“Venerable Mingyao!”

Xiang Taixu’s gaze fell on the newcomer, who followed his gaze.

Their eyes met.

The very void seemed to freeze.

“Venerable Taixu!”

Venerable Mingyao smiled faintly.

Xiang Taixu spoke indifferently, “The Guanming Immortal Sect possesses a profound heritage, possessing one of the Three Thousand Great Universes. Yet, you now covet a piece of the Immortal Mine?”

“Fellow Daoist, you’re joking. The ancient Xiang family is also an ancient family of immortality. Now, haven’t you come to the Tianxing Territory? Faced with the legacy of a saint, how could we Semi-Saints not be tempted?

If we can find a chance, perhaps we too could glimpse some of the mysteries of that realm!”

Venerable Mingyao spoke calmly, his gaze already fixed on the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

Although the Guanming Immortal Sect had previously collaborated with various forces in Yunjin Province to completely crack the Shenfeng Province, this did not mean that the two sides were truly allies.

Ultimately, it was a question of fact.

Everything is simply a matter of mutual interest.

Now that

Yunjin Prefecture has firmly established itself within Shenfeng Prefecture, the Guanming Immortal Sect’s existence naturally holds less significance.

Conversely,

the Shenyang Territory’s resources are limited.

The relationship between the two sides is destined to be unsustainable.

“With the Saint Immortal Mine right in front of us, it’s no use for us to continue wasting time. In my opinion, why not open the Saint Immortal Mine first? As for opportunities, it’s up to each of us to figure them out!”

Xiang Taixu spoke at this moment, breaking the silence.

His words

drew the glances of the powerful from the other factions.

Gu Lan glanced at the other Semi-Saints and smiled, “Shenyang Immortal Court has no objection!”

“Taiyi Holy Land has no objection either!”

Venerable Dongming said solemnly.

The remaining immortals exchanged glances and nodded.

Then,

without further ado, Xiang Taixu plucked out his jade hairpin and casually tossed it toward the Tailuo Immortal Mine below.

“Boom!”

The palm-sized jade hairpin instantly transformed into a towering immortal sword. Unleashing a terrifying abyss of power, it fiercely slashed down upon the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

Even an Immortal Emperor’s full strength had barely moved the Tailuo Immortal Mine, but with this force, the massive ore began to crack at a visible speed.

Then,

the Tailuo Immortal Mine exploded.

All the high-grade immortal stones and Tailuo Immortal Stones scattered in all directions.

Immediately,

many cultivators hiding in the shadows rushed to grab them.

High-grade immortal stones!

Even for many Immortal Emperors, they were too precious to ignore.

Not to mention Tailuo Immortal Stones, a treasure worthy of even an Immortal Emperor’s cultivation.

In comparison,

many Semi-Saints remained silent. For them, a few Tailuo Immortal Stones were valuable, but pale in comparison to the legacy of a Saint.

Everyone’s eyes were now fixed on the Tailuo Immortal Mine.

The immortal mine crumbled, and a strange sea of blood surged within its depths, as if something was about to be born.

This scene

made all the semi-saints’ faces unconsciously grow serious.

Although the saint’s body had not yet emerged, the strange scene still filled the semi-saints present with a sense of foreboding.

Even Xiang Taixu and other semi-saints of the Nine Tribulations had solemn expressions.

“Be careful! If you can’t do it, you should leave first!”

He sent a message to King Xiang, who silently retreated.

Despite the presence of the Xiang family ancestor and the presence of many semi-saints, a strangely transformed saint’s body should not cause any trouble.

But—

it’s better to be safe than sorry.

King Xiang naturally had to be cautious.

After all,

he was only an Immortal Emperor.

Even with his extraordinary talent, he still had a significant gap compared to a semi-saint.
