Terran Guardian - Chapter 3433

Chapter 3413 Immortal Domain Forbidden Zone

With a backup plan for dealing with the purple-robed Taoist priest,

Shen Changqing felt reassured.

At the same time,

he was also somewhat shocked by the former Primordial Immortal Body.

Jiuye was willing to help him because of the Primordial Immortal Body’s favor.

What did this indicate?

It meant that in ancient times, a Primordial Immortal Body had befriended Jiuye, thus establishing this bond.

For powerful beings to be friends,

they must be at least of the same level.

This meant that

a Primordial Immortal Body had once reached a level above Dao Zun.

Furthermore, it was very likely the previous Primordial Immortal Body.

Thinking of this,

Shen Changqing once again looked at the Immortal Stele of Longevity left behind by the former Primordial Immortal Body.

It

contained the Dao of the other person.

“Above Dao Zun!”

“If I also carry the Dao of my predecessors, I too may hope to reach this level someday!”

Although this thought arose, Shen Changqing’s unwavering Daoist resolve remained unwavering.

As he said,

the path of the predecessors had its limits.

Undeniably,

reaching a level above Dao Zun was a height many cultivators dared not even dream of.

But Shen Changqing also had his own ambitions.

Rather than following the path of his predecessors, he preferred to fight for his own victory.

Even if the price of doing so was the possibility that he would never even reach the heights of the previous Primordial Immortal Body, perishing along the way.

But Shen Changqing would never resign himself to the fate of not fighting for his life.

Precisely because of this understanding, he had no desire to inherit the path of the previous Primordial Immortal Body.

No matter how good that path was, it was theirs and had nothing to do with his own.

Shen Changqing’s path was his own.

…

For the next few days,

Shen Changqing remained within Danfeng, closely monitoring the movements of the Tianxing Domain.

Unfortunately,

the Tianxing Domain was now experiencing a catastrophe, with the appearance of the Purple-Robed Taoist ignoring the chaos. Shen Changqing’s previous backup plans for the Tianxing Domain were rendered useless.

While the Xingdao Alliance had some forces remaining in other immortal realms, it would be difficult for them to investigate the situation in the Tianxing Domain in the short term.

With this in mind,

Shen Changqing temporarily stopped paying attention to the affairs of the Tianxing Domain and retreated to practice and comprehend the Zhoutian Juyuan Formation.

Shen Changqing certainly wouldn’t ignore the existence of a top-tier, seventh-grade Immortal Emperor formation.

With his current level of formation cultivation, if he could truly comprehend the mysteries of the Zhoutian Juyuan Formation, his own cultivation in formations would soar.

Not to mention reaching the rank of a top-tier, seventh-grade Grandmaster, but at least breaking through to the mid-tier seventh grade would be a breeze.

After all,

mastering one technique leads to mastering all!

Comprehending the mysteries of a top-tier Immortal Emperor formation would significantly aid Shen Changqing’s comprehension of other formations.

Laying a solid foundation would also be of immense significance for his subsequent advancement.

However,

within a few days of Shen Changqing’s year-long retreat in the Seven Profound Divine Pagoda, the Xuantian Daojian was shaken, forcing him to emerge.

The unusual movement

in the Xuantian Daojian was a result of Yang Daoxu’s communication with the various peak masters.

In the past, when Shen Changqing was away, his avatars handled these tasks.

But now that his true form was present, it was impossible to continue sending his avatars.

Moreover,

Shen Changqing had a vague suspicion about this matter.

After leaving the Seven Profound Divine Tower,

Shen Changqing’s mind moved, and the treasure fell into his sea of consciousness.

Then, he took a step forward, and the surrounding scene transformed. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the main peak.

Entering the Immortal Palace,

Shen Changqing noticed that not many people had arrived.

Including Yang Daoxu, there were only three or five people at most.

Clearly,   not everyone rushed to the scene immediately

after the news spread .   ”Peak Master Shen is here!”   ”Greetings, Sect Master!”   Shen Changqing bowed and took a seat at the Danfeng seat.   Not long after he took his seat, cultivators from other peaks followed suit.   Soon,   the vast Immortal Palace was filled with numerous powerful figures. Most of   the nine peak masters had arrived, while the few who remained were generally either in seclusion or not with the sect.   Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Yang Daoxu stopped talking.   ”Yesterday, news arrived that an ancient being had emerged from the Heavenly Star Region, slaying numerous Immortal Semi-Saints. Later, a bloody massacre ensued, decimating billions of beings across the   entire Immortal Realm, leaving no one unharmed—” As soon as these words were uttered, they exploded like a bombshell, causing everyone’s faces to drop.   Immortal Semi-Saints!   They had never even seen a being of this caliber.   And now,   the news Yang Daoxu had revealed naturally terrified them.   ”I know very little about the specifics of the Heavenly Star Region. Rumor has it it has become a forbidden zone for life, wreaking havoc with a terrifying Dao aura. Even Immortal Emperors who attempted to enter were instantly slain by this aura.   Therefore, I only managed to capture a few fragments of the footage!”   Yang Daoxu crushed a piece of recording stone, and a scene suddenly appeared.   The scene showed a terrifying Dao aura tearing through the sky, leaving countless gullies crisscrossing all space. These were the remnants of the supreme power, preventing the healing of space.   Countless creatures lay dead, the flesh of a semi-saint pierced through, pinned to death in the void. Their vital energy had long since drained away, yet their corpses still held a terrifying aura of Dao that overwhelmed heaven and earth, silently annihilating the surrounding void.   Even the severed heads of semi-saints glared with fury, their pupils seemingly lingering with fear.   Even with a fleeting glimpse of the scene, they could grasp the enormity.

The lingering aura of those fallen beings, in particular, made the cultivators present hold their breath.

Semi-saints, once soaring high above, overlooking the passage of time and striving for immortality, were now being slaughtered at will.

The visual impact of such scenes was unimaginable.

Shen Changqing was also observing the scene in the immortal palace. He looked at the semi-saint, nailed to death in the void, his entire body drained of vitality, with a subtle expression in his eyes.

The Divine Sun Immortal Court!

Qin Daoran!

This Nineteenth Heavenly King had ultimately fallen in the Heavenly Star Region.

As for the severed head, Shen Changqing was no stranger to   it .

It was that of the Lianzhen Venerable of the Purple Sky Immortal Sect.   Shen Changqing had met him once before.   However, the immortal he had once seen in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City had now been slain, his body barely intact.   It was easy to imagine.   Even if one could achieve immortality, what would it matter?   In the face of the catastrophe, the slightest misstep could lead to death and annihilation.   The so-called strong are but ants in front of those who are even stronger.   It’s even harder to predict when such an accident will occur.   Before arriving in the Tianxing Domain, no matter how much these immortals thought, they could never have guessed that they would perish in a small, high-level immortal realm.   Understanding this, Shen Changqing’s heart ached for strength.   The situation in the Tianxing Domain was enough to illustrate that, often, even if one doesn’t actively provoke trouble, it will find one.   The purple-robed Taoist appeared,   slaughtering an entire immortal realm.   I’m afraid that in the moment before their death, the other cultivators in the Tianxing Domain never imagined that even though they had no involvement, they would still be doomed.   ”Ultimately, it’s a matter of strength!”   Shen Changqing took a deep breath, his eyes calming down again.   At this moment,   the shadow dissipated.   Yang Daoxu’s expression was solemn. “The Tianxing Domain was destroyed, and one immortal realm became a forbidden zone for life. Rumor has it   this is related to a Longevity Mine, but the details remain unknown. However, with the deaths of so many powerful individuals and the emergence of a great evil within the Tianxing Domain, the subsequent unrest will inevitably affect all other immortal realms.   For the next period of time, the sect must monitor all parties involved to prevent unrest in the Shentian Domain!”   This was Yang Daoxu’s true purpose in gathering everyone. Whether   the Tianxing Domain was destroyed or not   was actually of little concern to the Xuantian Dao Sect. After all,   the affairs of such a high-level immortal realm were beyond the Xuantian Dao Sect’s control.   Furthermore, it involved numerous Semi-Saints, and even Great Evils who were even more powerful than Semi-Saints.   What truly concerned Yang Daoxu was that the subsequent impact of such an event in the Tianxing Domain would definitely extend far beyond the Tianxing Domain. Currently,   major catastrophes were occurring frequently, dark turmoil was brewing, and wars were raging among the various immortal states, causing unrest in the Shenfeng State.   Maintaining stability was already a significant undertaking for the Xuantian Dao Sect.   If the unrest continued, the current situation, so painstakingly maintained, might be shattered.   Of course,   there was another point.   The whereabouts of the great evil that destroyed the Tianxing Domain were unknown. If it entered the Divine Heaven Domain, it would be a catastrophic disaster.   However, Yang Daoxu kept this concern to himself.   Speaking of it would be futile, as it would only cause panic within the sect.   Such a great evil, capable of transforming an entire immortal realm into a forbidden zone and slaying numerous semi-saints, was simply beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.   Even the combined might of the entire Xuantian Dao Sect and the Divine Heaven Domain would be meaningless.   Even—   even if the patriarch took action—the situation would be the same.   While Yang Daoxu had immense faith in his patriarch, that confidence wasn’t blind. Even without witnessing it firsthand   , Yang Daoxu was well aware of the difference between an Immortal Emperor and a semi-saint.   A semi-saint was already this terrifying.   A great evil capable of slaying a semi-saint and annihilating an entire immortal realm was even more terrifying.   ”Remember, don’t leak this matter, so as not to cause panic within the sect. Even if there are rumors from the outside world, don’t pay too much attention to it.   The sect is no longer what it used to be. With the Patriarch in charge, there will be no problem as long as Changsheng himself is not here. For   now, just pay close attention to the movements of all parties, and wait and see what happens to other things!”   At the end, Yang Daoxu gave another reminder.   In response,   everyone obeyed the order.   Then,   Yang Daoxu waved his hand, and everyone said goodbye and left.   Shen Changqing did not stay for long. After leaving the Immortal Palace, he went directly to Danfeng.   However, unlike Shen Changqing’s indifference, the people from other peaks were a little worried when they left.   There was nothing they could do about it.   No matter who heard such news, it would be difficult for them to truly calm down.
