Terran Guardian - Chapter 3461

Chapter 3440 Tai Luo Daojun’s Response

. After the chaotic battle,

Jiang Linyuan ultimately retreated.

This undoubtedly boosted the reputation of Xuantian Dao Sect. It

also

indirectly confirmed another fact:

the Celestial Demon Saint Lord Shen Hong was indeed the current Xuantian Dao Sect leader, Shen Changqing.

The two had been the same person from beginning to end.

This

shocked the other factions even more.

As they learned more, they discovered that the Xuantian Dao Sect leader was a cultivator from the Microdust Universe, having ascended to the upper realms less than a million years ago.

The cultivation environment in the lower realms is difficult, and those who ascend into the ancient immortal realm are naturally gifted.

However,

how many

could achieve this level in such a short time?

Rumors had originally spread that Shen Changqing was a re-cultivated saint, but now, in the eyes of these factions, reaching this level is far from easy for a re-cultivated saint.

This person must have great luck.

However,

even with this understanding,

no one dared to act rashly.

Everyone possesses a certain amount of luck.

Many geniuses possess some kind of heaven-defying opportunity. Otherwise, relying solely on talent, how could they have reached this point?

If Shen Changqing were merely an ordinary Ancient Immortal or Immortal Emperor, there would undoubtedly be powerful forces eager to investigate.

But the problem is,

this person’s power is far beyond the reach of ordinary Immortal Emperors.   Even

an ancient Semi-Saint would be powerless against him, let alone other cultivators.

Naturally, no one would undertake such a thankless task as to offend a powerhouse comparable to immortality for a vague, uncertain opportunity. Furthermore,   with Shen Changqing’s incredible talent, as long as he survived, his breakthrough to Semi-Sainthood was a sure thing.   Such a being,   how could he be easily offended?   Without a conflict of interest, no one wanted to antagonize him.   …   ”Shen Changqing!”   ”So it was him—”   When this news reached the Shenyang Immortal Court, the expression on Immortal Emperor Dayi’s face suddenly showed understanding.   Unlike the others who were shocked upon hearing the news, he felt relatively unsurprised upon learning this.   The familiar feeling he’d felt upon meeting Shen Changqing was now explained.   However,   Immortal Emperor Dayi was also somewhat surprised.   He hadn’t imagined that a mere ant from the dusty universe could reach such a height today.   Once upon a time ,   Immortal Emperor Dayi hadn’t even taken him seriously.   Shaking his head,   he continued his retreat and cultivation.   Now that the Great Tribulation was approaching,   he needed to accumulate more experience to achieve a breakthrough to the Semi-Saint realm.   Entering the Immortal Emperor Monument didn’t guarantee immortality.   In reality,   even reaching the top ten on the Immortal Emperor Monument required a certain amount of luck to achieve this breakthrough.   Many of the powerful figures on the Immortal Emperor Monument had waited for countless great tribulations, yet never achieved that milestone.   For example, Immortal Emperor Jiushan endured countless years, even using the elixir of immortality to live another life, yet still failed to achieve a breakthrough.   There were also many fallen immortals, once among the highest beings listed on the Immortal Emperor Monument.   But—   like these people, they too failed to break through.   Reaching the Immortal Emperor Monument only signified a profound foundation, but to claim a 100% certainty of breaking through to the Semi-Saint realm and achieving immortality was a complete impossibility.   Even Immortal Emperor Dayi himself couldn’t claim absolute certainty of reaching the Semi-Saint realm.   The approaching Great Tribulation presented his opportunity for a breakthrough.   If he missed this Great Tribulation, he would have to wait for the next.   However, each Great Tribulation lasted at least 3.6 billion years, and such a long period of time was bound to bring many uncertainties.   Therefore,   Immortal Emperor Dayi naturally didn’t want to wait too long.   —Supreme   Divine Sect.   When Jiang Linyuan returned and reported the news, Daojun Tailuo’s eyes turned cold, and a powerful aura descended upon him, causing him to tremble and blood to flow from the corner of his mouth.   Even so, Jiang Linyuan remained kneeling on the ground, not daring to move. After   a long moment,   the pressure dissipated.   Tai Luo Daojun’s indifferent voice reached Jiang Linyuan’s ears.   ”This is the first and last time. If you disgrace me again, there’s no point in you living!”   ”Thank you, Master, for sparing my life!”   Jiang Linyuan’s heart trembled, yet he also breathed a sigh of relief.   Since Tai Luo Daojun had said so, it meant he had survived this time.   Meanwhile,   Soul-Slaying Blade Master, for once, refrained from mocking   him .   It was simply because everyone could sense Tai Luo Daojun’s fury. Taunting Jiang Linyuan at this moment would only invite trouble.   By the time Jiang Linyuan stood up, Tai Luo Daojun’s expression had returned to composure.   ”This boy is quite courageous. If so, I will personally travel to the Divine Heaven Realm and see what gives him the guts to disrespect me!”   ”With the Master taking action, this battle is sure to be a sure win!”   Jiang Linyuan said flatteringly.   Daoist Lord Tai Luo glanced at him and said, “Soul-Killing, you will be in charge of the Divine Religion. As for you, please accompany me to the Xuantian Dao Sect!”   ”As ordered!”   Soul-Killing Blade Master and Jiang Linyuan both obeyed respectfully.   Then,   Daoist Lord Tai Luo took a step forward, and a long river of avenues pierced through the nine heavens. In an instant, he disappeared.

Seeing this,

Jiang Linyuan didn’t dare to delay and followed Tailuo Daojun closely.

After leaving the Supreme Divine Sect, Tailuo Daojun made no attempt to hide his whereabouts. His terrifying Dao aura overwhelmed the chaotic void, alarming powerful figures from all directions.

Upon seeing the vast, abyssal river of Dao, many cultivators instinctively held their breath, expressions of shock on their faces.

“Taluo Daojun… which immortal realm is he planning to attack now?”

Many powerful figures were secretly terrified, fearing that he might target them.

After all, whenever Tailuo Daojun attacked, he would annihilate an entire immortal realm, even if it meant facing Changsheng. However,

since the founding of the Supreme Divine Sect, the task of collecting the essence of life had been delegated to other cultivators within the sect, and Tailuo Daojun, as the sect leader, rarely took action himself.

Even when Tailuo Daojun didn’t take action, his reputation for brutality was deeply rooted in everyone’s minds.

Now, seeing Tailuo Daojun appear, it was hard not to be terrified by the other powerful figures.

However,

some cultivators had noticed something.

“That direction seems to be heading towards the Divine Heaven Realm!”

“Not long ago, war broke out between the Supreme Divine Sect and the Xuantian Dao Sect. Jiang Linyuan, the Supreme Divine Sect’s Vice-President, personally intervened, only to be repelled by the Xuantian Dao Sect. Now that Tailuo Daojun has appeared, he’s likely heading for the Xuantian Dao Sect!”

The cultivators breathed a sigh of relief at this thought.

As long as it wasn’t targeting their own immortal realm, all the better.

Soon,

word spread.

The Supreme Divine Sect’s leader, the ancient Supreme Tailuo Daojun, intended to suppress the Xuantian Dao Sect, naturally attracting the attention of numerous factions.

When this news reached the Xuantian Dao Sect, the entire sect was shaken.

Inside the main peak’s immortal hall,

the powerful warriors from all nine peaks gathered.

Chu Junhe said in a deep voice, “Master, news has arrived from the outside world that the ancient Supreme is heading for the sect. What should we do now?”

“Wait!”

Shen Changqing uttered a single word.

“I will personally handle the matter concerning Tailuo Daojun. Everything in the sect will continue as normal!”

With these words,

Many people instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Changqing was clearly only an Immortal Emperor, a far cry from the Ancient Supreme Beings, yet his confident words still convinced them.

Since Shen Changqing had said so, it seemed likely he still had a hidden hand.

At this point,

Shen Changqing paused before continuing.

“Now that the great calamity has erupted in Shenfeng Province, it’s not just a matter of dark unrest. The various immortal states have already set their sights on Shenfeng Province, intent on completely dividing it.

While the Divine Heaven Realm is a mid-level immortal realm, its resources are of limited value, unworthy of the various state powers’ excessive investment.

But by the time the next Heavenly Dao Battlefield descends, the Divine Heaven Realm will at least be promoted to a high-level immortal realm, surely ranking among the top six hundred high-level immortal realms. At that point, the Divine Heaven Realm’s value will be significantly different.”

“Compared to—”

“Our sect is currently too weak. Therefore, I propose that any cultivator from the Nine Peaks of our sect who reaches the pinnacle of Ancient Immortal status will be granted an Immortal Emperor inheritance,

laying the foundation for a subsequent breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor realm. Furthermore, the contributions

for all sect quests will be doubled!” Shen Changqing’s words shook everyone.

Immortal Emperor inheritance!

Doubled contributions!

These simple words held a profound implication that was enough to shake the entire sect.

The Immortal Emperor inheritance was needless to say.

In the original Xuantian Dao Sect, few cultivators were truly qualified to comprehend an inheritance of this caliber.

Aside from the Nine Peak Masters, any cultivator who wished to obtain one had to at least demonstrate sufficient merit and accumulate sufficient contributions.

After all, the Immortal Emperor inheritance touched the very foundations of the sect and would not be passed on rashly.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing’s public display of the Immortal Emperor inheritance naturally delighted many cultivators.

However, some cultivators worried that the sect lacked sufficient Immortal Emperor inheritances. If too many cultivators comprehended them, the inheritance’s Dao rhyme would fade, leading to negative consequences.   Shen Changqing addressed

this concern .   ”I possess, to say the least, more than a hundred or eighty Immortal Emperor inheritances, so the inheritance issue isn’t a major concern!”   ”Hiss!”   Everyone gasped at these words.   There were at least a hundred Immortal Emperor inheritances.   Since when…   inheritances of this caliber often numbered in the dozens or even hundreds.   Even though they knew Shen Changqing’s unfathomable strength, having once reigned supreme over a high-level immortal realm, they never imagined he held such a vast array of top-tier inheritances.   If there had been any initial lingering concerns, they vanished with Shen Changqing’s words.   With at least a hundred immortal emperor inheritances, what was there to worry about?   Given the current number of ancient immortals within the Xuantian Dao Sect, even a continuous contemplation of 18 million years would be more than enough.
