Terran Guardian - Chapter 3437

Chapter 3417: Re-ordering the Emperor’s Immortal Weapon

“Go!”

Shen Changqing casually flung his hand, and the cold spirit sank back into the Weapon Spirit Realm.

Then,

with a flick of his mind, he

tossed into the Weapon Spirit Realm all the ancient immortal artifacts he had accidentally acquired in the past.

These artifacts, largely obtained by Shen Changqing from slaughtering other cultivators, each imbued with a terrifying aura of murderous destruction.

These artifacts were immense, exceeding tenfold the number previously possessed by the Weapon Spirit Realm.

Previously, the Weapon Spirit Realm

held only a few thousand ancient immortal artifacts at most.

But this time,

Shen Changqing threw tens of thousands of them in.

The simultaneous appearance of so many ancient immortal artifacts, and the terrifying murderous aura emanating from them, made the entire Weapon Spirit Realm tremble.

But as Shen Changqing penetrated the Great Dao restriction, the previously unstable Weapon Spirit Realm stabilized once again.

“Almost done!”

He glanced at the Weapon Spirit Realm, then turned and left.

Shen Changqing had simply created this place to serve as a foundation for Danfeng. With tens of thousands of ancient immortal artifacts and one imperial immortal artifact, it was more than sufficient.

There was no need to bury more divine weapons.

Afterward,

Shen Changqing journeyed to the Fire Spirit Realm and the War Spirit Realm.

Neither place had changed much.

Then,

Shen Changqing summoned Qingyi and handed her the remaining imperial immortal artifacts for refining.

Having acquired the Weapon Refining Immortal Scripture, Qingyi had long since reached the level of a mid-grade imperial immortal artifact. However, at his current stage, a mid-grade imperial immortal artifact was of limited use.

More precisely,

any imperial immortal artifact was of little significance to Shen Changqing.

With his current strength,

only an innate imperial weapon could truly be of use.

Normally,

an origin treasure was of immense value to any cultivator.

Such a treasure, capable of continuously increasing one’s strength and rank over time, held the potential for unlimited growth.

But there was a problem.

Shen Changqing’s breakthrough was incredibly rapid.

According to outside time, he had already ascended from the Ancient Immortal Realm to the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor in less than a million years.

For other Ancient Immortals, this timeframe would have been difficult enough to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, let alone the pinnacle.

This created an awkward situation:

the magnificent Origin Supreme Treasure couldn’t keep up.

To put it bluntly,

it wasn’t the Origin Supreme Treasure’s inadequacy, but rather Shen Changqing’s rapid advancement.

Fortunately,

the existence of the Weapon Refining Immortal Scripture gave Qingyi an opportunity to shorten the timeframe and maximize his rank.

The several Imperial Immortal artifacts Shen Changqing had gifted him were currently between mid- and upper-grade. Barring any unexpected changes, refining them and ascending to upper-grade Imperial Immortal artifacts should be straightforward.

“What a shame!” “

The Eight Trigrams Purple Sun Furnace is of great use to me, but I can’t waste it just yet. Otherwise, if Qingyi devoured it, ascending to an Innate Imperial Weapon would be a surefire way to success!”

Shen Changqing muttered to himself.

This was no joke.

A seventh-grade Xiantian Imperial Weapon, while not the pinnacle of Xiantian Imperial Weapons, is certainly close.

If Qingyi could refine the Eight Trigrams Purple Sun Furnace, not only could he reach the seventh-grade Xiantian Imperial Weapon level, but he could also easily advance to the third or fourth-grade Xiantian Imperial Weapon, or even the fifth-grade Xiantian Imperial Weapon.

Of course

,

refining a supreme treasure

normally involves losses.

The possibility of ascending to the fifth-grade Xiantian Imperial Weapon in one go by devouring a seventh-grade Xiantian Imperial Weapon is actually quite low.

Regardless, if

he can’t reach the fifth-grade Xiantian Imperial Weapon,

the third or fourth-grade Xiantian Imperial Weapon is certainly within his reach.

However, for Shen Changqing, the Eight Trigrams Purple Sun Furnace is of great value, so he naturally couldn’t waste it.

If he couldn’t use it, he would have to look elsewhere.

“Tianzhu Mansion!”

A name popped into Shen Changqing’s mind.

With this thought,

he produced the jade talisman for communication.

Shortly after the message was transmitted, a response arrived.

“Fellow Daoist Shenhong!”

A divine thought message emanated from it.

Shen Changqing said, “Based on the original price, I would like to order thirty top-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts from the Tianzhu Mansion. Is that a problem?”

As this message spread,

silence fell on the other side of the communication jade talisman.

A moment later,

another divine thought emanated from there.

“The Tianzhu Mansion is currently short on resources. If you truly need thirty top-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts, it will take at least a hundred thousand years.

If the quantity is smaller, ten or less, ten thousand years should be enough!”

“Then I’ll order ten first, and then twenty more. Tianzhu Mansion can deliver them within a hundred thousand years. As for the immortal stones, if Tianzhu Mansion has forged them, please send a message to me, and I will personally come!”

“No problem!”

With the last divine thought, Shen Changqing placed down the communication jade talisman.

Although the result was slightly different from what he expected, it wasn’t much.

“If Qingyi can refine all ten of these supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts,

he’ll also be able to rank among the supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts. I just wonder if thirty supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts can lead to a qualitative change, allowing him to directly ascend to the level of an Innate Imperial Weapon!”

A glint flashed in Shen Changqing’s eyes.

This was why he had ordered so many supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts from the Tianzhu Mansion.

Although

thirty supreme-grade Imperial Immortal Artifacts would require 18 million high-grade immortal stones,

to Shen Changqing, these immortal stones were nothing.

Even now,

after annihilating numerous factions, he still had over 200 million high-grade immortal stones in his possession.

Forget thirty supreme-grade Imperial Immortal artifacts; even three hundred wouldn’t be a problem.

Top-grade Immortal Stones!

They were already of little use to Shen Changqing.

If he could use these stones to forge a single Innate Imperial weapon, it would be a lucrative business.

By now,

Shen Changqing understood more and more why no one exchanged top-grade Immortal Stones for lower-grade ones.

Simply put,

Immortal Stones of this tier were meaningless to those striving for immortality.

Since reaching the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm, Shen Changqing’s understanding of this had deepened.

The greatest difference between Immortal Stones and the immortal energy of heaven and earth was that these stones, in addition to containing immortal energy, also possessed a lingering Dao rhyme.

The higher the grade of the immortal energy, the more powerful the Dao rhyme.

Cultivators refining and comprehending this Dao rhyme greatly benefited their subsequent breakthroughs.

However,

the Dao rhyme of any Immortal Stone had its limits.

For example, the Dao rhyme of a mid-grade Immortal Stone was only useful in the Ancient Immortal Realm. At the Immortal Emperor realm, a mid-grade Immortal Stone was of little use.

At this level,

one must abandon mid-grade immortal stones and cultivate with top-grade immortal stones instead.

However, like mid-grade immortal stones, top-grade immortal stones’ usefulness ends at the Immortal Emperor realm. Once a cultivator reaches the Immortal Emperor realm or the Semi-Saint realm, top-grade immortal stones become meaningless.

Truly useful must be at least top-grade immortal stones.

Immortal stones serve as a currency among cultivators because of their inherent value.

When immortal stones lose their value at a certain level, they naturally lose their currency significance.

Simply put,

before striving for immortality, the differences between the various levels were relatively small, and the resources required for cultivation were not rare, so low-grade, mid-grade, and top-grade immortal stones could be used interchangeably.

However, after reaching the Semi-Saint realm, the situation became completely different.

For this reason,

Shen Changqing now considered over 200 million top-grade immortal stones to be of little significance.

To him,

they were even less useful than a single top-grade immortal stone.

Shen Changqing considered it ideal to use top-grade immortal stones to elevate Qingyi to the level of an Innate Emperor Weapon.

“

Master, I’m having some doubts while practicing the Nine Stars World-Suppressing Scripture. I hope you can clear up some of my confusion!”

Minghe stood respectfully beneath the Enlightenment Tree.

Shen Changqing generously offered his guidance to the disciple before him.

The Nine Stars World-Suppressing Scripture was a legacy passed down from the highest level of the Immortal Emperors. Although he hadn’t practiced it, he had once comprehended it and possessed unique insights into some of its key principles.

Furthermore,

there was another reason.

Once one has reached a certain level of cultivation, one can appreciate the profound insights of other cultivation techniques, even if one hasn’t practiced them themselves.

Guiding the ancient immortals in their practice was a piece of cake for Shen Changqing.

“The Nine Stars World-Suppressing Scripture emphasizes the understanding of the true meaning of the stars and the refinement of the immortal energy of heaven and earth. Advancing in cultivation is not easy.

If one can find a place rich in the power of the stars, or acquire the appropriate treasures to aid cultivation, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort!”

Shen Changqing concluded.

Upon hearing this, Minghe bowed again, “Master, please tell me where is the best place to practice the Nine Lights Suppressing the World Sutra!”

“Chaos!”

Shen Changqing uttered the word.

Chaos!

Minghe’s face changed slightly at these words.

Such a place was not one that an Ancient Immortal like him could set foot in.

As expected.

Shen Changqing changed the subject, “Of course, Chaos is incredibly dangerous. Let alone an Ancient Immortal, even an Immortal Emperor would risk their lives if they entered Chaos to practice.

Without sufficient strength, do not enter rashly!”

At this point,

Shen Changqing snapped his fingers, and a brilliant, misty stone, emitting an astonishing aura of Dao, appeared before Minghe.

“This is a star core, the core of power left behind after the fall of an ancient star. It’s imbued with rich stellar energy. If you can use this star core to aid your cultivation, your progress in the Nine Stars World-Suppressing Scripture will surely advance by leaps and bounds.

However, ninth-grade star cores are not something that ordinary people can refine. I’ve already placed restrictions on them to suppress their power.

From now on, you just need to slowly nibble away at them, bit by bit, and I think it shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Thank you, Master!”

Minghe took a deep breath, gratitude etched on his face.

He knew the magnitude of a ninth-grade star core.

Now that Shen Changqing had directly bestowed such a precious treasure, Minghe was filled with gratitude.

As he had said, with a ninth-grade star core as a guide, practicing the Nine Stars World-Suppressing Scripture would be much easier.

“Your talent isn’t the greatest, but it’s not absolute. Practice diligently. Danfeng will provide you with sufficient resources until you reach the Immortal Emperor realm!”

Shen Changqing said calmly.

He was willing to train this man who had ascended from the lower realm and was his chief disciple.

However, whether Minghe could truly reach the heights he expected depended on his own efforts. (End of this chapter)
