Terran Guardian - Chapter 3449

Chapter 3429 Eliminating Resentment

With this thought in mind,

Yang Daoxu no longer hesitated and gave his reply.

“Approved!”

A single word emanated from the Xuantian Daojian, bringing a smile to Shen Changqing’s face within the Thousand Demon Territory.

“The Sect Master has agreed!”

He spoke, looking at Qian Hen and the others before him.

This statement

relaxed everyone’s expressions.

With Yang Daoxu’s agreement, their last remaining concerns vanished.

Although the leaders of the two peaks had already agreed with Shen Changqing’s decision, some matters still required the approval of the sect.

Therefore, Yang Daoxu’s agreement at this moment naturally relieved their concerns.   ”Continue to conduct a thorough investigation of all parties to prevent the appearance of the Supreme Divine Cult. All other matters will proceed according to the original plan!”   Shen Changqing waved his hand. Qian Hen and Xia Yutang both clasped their fists in acceptance.

Then   ,   the cultivators from both peaks withdrew.   As they departed, Shen Changqing’s divine consciousness expanded, instantly encompassing numerous prefectures.   The Thousand Demon Territory was vast; the sheer size of a single prefecture would be unimaginable even within the Mote Universe.   Even so, Shen Changqing could easily sweep across several prefectures with a single divine sense.   If a semi-saint were present in person, even a single divine sense could encompass the entire immortal realm.   Of course,   the vastness of each immortal realm varies.   For example, a mid-level immortal realm may appear vast, but even within the supreme immortal realms, it’s not as vast as a single prefecture.   Now, under the reach of Shen Changqing’s divine sense, he could see the situation in each prefecture.   The unrest was suppressed!   The Thousand Demon Realm also suffered heavy losses.   Almost every prefecture suffered varying degrees of damage.   After a moment,   Shen Changqing withdrew all his divine sense.   ”It seems the Supreme Divine Cult’s spies have been eliminated, but it won’t be long before this faction makes a move!”   His expression was calm, but his eyes were as deep as the starry sky.   Just recently,   news arrived from the Demon God Daojian.   The number of powerful individuals from the Supreme Divine Sect in various mid-level immortal realms plummeted, giving many imminently destroyed realms a moment to breathe.   The unrest in the Thousand Demon Realm had just been suppressed, and now other immortal realms were experiencing such changes. Even if Shen Changqing didn’t want to connect the two, it was difficult.   But as the saying goes, the Supreme Divine Sect, while seemingly powerful, was in reality a castle in the air. Any problem with Tailuo Daojun would instantly crumble the entire faction.   Of course,   the Supreme Divine Sect’s supposed vanity was only relative.   For ordinary forces, the Supreme Divine Sect boasted numerous Immortal Emperors, and any attack from one would be catastrophic.   But in Shen Changqing’s view, apart from the Ancient Supreme and the two Semi-Saints, the other cultivators of the Supreme Divine Sect were insignificant.   At least,   to him, they posed   little threat.   Then,   Shen Changqing calmed his mind and silently contemplated the green leaf in his sea of consciousness.   He didn’t enter the Seven Profound Divine Tower for seclusion and cultivation simply because it wasn’t the Dan Peak, and using the Seven Profound Divine Tower for cultivation was always unsafe.   Furthermore,   Shen Changqing had reached a bottleneck in both his cultivation and his magical powers. Breaking through this bottleneck wasn’t something he could achieve through sheer hard work.   Cultivation, for now, aside.   Dao magical powers required a crucial opportunity.   Therefore ,   rather than wasting time entering the Seven Profound Divine Tower, it was better to simply meditate.   At this moment, as his divine consciousness descended upon the green leaf, a vast, abyssal force of sword intent erupted, shaking the vast universe as if unable to withstand such terrifying power.   Although Shen Changqing had long understood the power of this green leaf, he still felt a sense of dread every time he contemplated and sensed its terrifying Dao aura.   Faced with such power, even Shen Changqing, capable of competing with a semi-saint, felt as insignificant as an ant.   Consequently,   Shen Changqing felt a growing sense of the Nine Leaf’s unfathomable depths.   A being of such caliber was simply terrifying.   …   And while Shen Changqing was comprehending the Green Leaf Sword Intent, a terrifying aura enveloped the vast Immortal Palace.   In that instant,   cultivators throughout the Immortal City felt a sense of inexplicable trepidation, from ancient immortals to ordinary cultivators alike.   ”That’s the main hall!”   Lu Xuan was the first to notice the movement and looked in the direction of the aura, a look of horror crossing her delicate features.   The main hall was now owned by the Danfeng Peak Master.   The changes occurring there were clearly caused by his cultivation.   It was hard to imagine.   Just how terrifying must his cultivation be to allow even the mere aura he exuded during his training to possess such power? The   thought of this   filled Lu Xuan with awe.   During this time, she had come to understand Shen Changqing even better.   It was precisely this in-depth understanding that had allowed her to truly grasp the power of this Danfeng Master.   However,   beyond shock, Lu Xuan felt a greater sense of peace.   The stronger Shen Changqing becomes, the greater his chances of victory in the upcoming battle against the Supreme Divine Cult.   ”Master Shen is currently in seclusion, cultivating. No one is allowed to enter within a hundred feet of the main hall, lest they disturb him!”   Lu Xuan summoned the Immortal City guards and issued the order.   … In   the Thousand Demon Realm   , the space within the Silent Manor suddenly ripped open, and a figure in green robes emerged.   With his appearance, the entire manor seemed to tremble.   At that moment,   the entire mansion seemed to come alive.

A strange, chilling aura suddenly emerged. Gu Qingyang could hear the wailing of countless dead souls, and it felt as if something was staring at him from behind.

Any other cultivator would have been trembling with fear at such a bizarre scene.

But for Gu Qingyang, it was just a minor incident.

“As expected!”

“These prefectures slaughtered by the Supreme Divine Cult are truly beginning to become strange. If nothing is done, they could become a true forbidden zone for life in less than ten thousand years!”

Gu Qingyang’s expression was indifferent. Daoist rhymes flowed in his eyes, and the lingering thoughts of countless cultivators were reflected in his pupils.

Normally,

a cultivator dies,

their soul annihilated,

and all returns to the way of heaven.

But before the soul dies, a lingering thought remains. These thoughts usually don’t last long, gradually dissipating.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

When these remnant thoughts and resentments merge and consume other remnant thoughts and resentments, combined with the Dao rhyme of heaven and earth, they may undergo a transformation, ultimately transforming into a strange and unique entity.

This entity

is a Life Forbidden Zone.

To be precise,

no Life Forbidden Zone is truly inert.

As long as it exists, it cannot truly disappear.

However,

all Life Forbidden Zones vary in strength.

As the current prefecture shows, even if it were to evolve into a Life Forbidden Zone, the threat would be extremely limited.

At best, it would only pose a threat to a few Ancient Immortals.

Any powerful Ancient Immortal would not fear a Life Forbidden Zone of this magnitude.

The problem is,

once a Life Forbidden Zone is formed, it is not so easy to truly eliminate it. If

a prefecture were to become a Life Forbidden Zone, it would indirectly weaken the foundation of the entire Immortal Realm, which would naturally be of no benefit in the long run.

Seeing the resentment of so many living beings converge, Gu Qingyang took a step forward, and a terrifying burst of Qi and blood erupted from his body. The vast sword energy suppressed everything

in an instant .

All the resentful spirits that approached him were completely annihilated.

However,

after these resentful spirits perished, more were reborn, seemingly endless.

“It seems this won’t work!”

Gu Qingyang gave up the idea of relying on his own strength to eliminate all the resentful spirits.

This space had already changed. All the resentful spirits could no longer be considered normal resentments. Truly eliminating them would naturally be far from easy.

Then,

Gu Qingyang summoned the cyan token Shen Changqing had given him.

The moment he channeled his divine consciousness into the token—

“BOOM!”

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the cyan token. Like the might of a glorious sun, it shook the nine heavens.

The blazing aura instantly swept in all directions. All the resentful spirits, upon contact with this force, vanished without a single scream.

“Ninth-level Immortal Fire!”

Gu Qingyang involuntarily took a deep breath as he gazed at the cyan token in his hand and sensed the terrifying aura.

When Shen Changqing previously unleashed this power, Gu Qingyang hadn’t truly felt its terrifying intensity.

Only now,

when he truly activated the cyan token and fully unleashed its power, did Gu Qingyang truly grasp its terror.

Ninth-tier Celestial Fire!

And it was definitely not just any ninth-tier Celestial Fire!

Otherwise

, with his current level of cultivation, it was impossible for a single strand of Celestial Fire to create such a strong sense of threat.

Now—

with the power within the cyan token unleashed,

in a matter of moments, it had engulfed the entire mansion.

Before such power, the so-called undying resentment was a joke; it couldn’t even hold out for a quarter of an hour before vanishing completely.

As the resentment vanished, Gu Qingyang noticed that the cold, eerie aura had vanished with it.

Though the vast mansion remained utterly silent, its former dead stillness was gone, replaced by a new, searing warmth.

After confirming that the resentment in this area had been eliminated, Gu Qingyang did not linger there for long. He headed directly to other areas to eliminate the strange creatures that had been bred there.

With the help of a portion of the original power of the Jade Emperor Fire, these undeveloped strange creatures were simply unable to resist.

In less than ten days, the strange resentment in the thirty-two areas had been completely eliminated. (End of this chapter)
