Chapter 3441 The Ancient Supreme Comes

. Then,

there’s the benefit of doubling contributions.

Sect missions all come with contribution rewards,

and this

is the primary channel for sect cultivators to obtain cultivation resources.

While the sect does have a supply of resources, relying solely on fixed cultivation resources is always insufficient.

Therefore,

sect contributions are the primary source of

cultivation resources. Contributions are exchanged for corresponding cultivation resources.

Shen Changqing’s doubling of mission contributions effectively doubles the resources available to all sect cultivators.

Completing the same number of sect missions will earn double the contributions compared to before.

In the long run,

the sect’s overall strength will naturally increase significantly.

Therefore,

no one in the Nine Peaks objected to Shen Changqing’s two decisions.

At most,

they were concerned about whether Xuantian Dao Sect’s current foundation could sustain such a large expenditure.   Shen Changqing, however, wasn’t worried at all.

For   example   , the over 200 million high-grade immortal stones in his possession would be enough to sustain Xuantian Dao Sect for tens of billions of years, even without any income.   After all—   two hundred million high-grade immortal stones—   is equivalent to a full two trillion mid-grade immortal stones.   Such a resource is no problem for supporting a small Immortal Emperor sect.   Moreover,   the Xuantian Dao Sect itself already has a significant income.   The numerous sect missions are actually another source of resources.   Having many disciples perform missions benefits the sect, which then takes some of these benefits and passes them on to the disciples who complete the missions as contributions.   Otherwise,   why would many sects recruit so many disciples?   The reason for this is that with more disciples, the sect secures more resources, creating a virtuous cycle.   Shen Changqing’s current doubling of contributions is at most a further contribution from the profits generated by these missions; it’s not enough to impact the sect’s fundamental interests.   Furthermore,   Shen Changqing is also thinking long-term.   While the current increase in sect contributions might seem to harm the sect’s interests, everything has two sides.   In the short term,   it’s true that the sect’s interests are being sacrificed.   But once the Heavenly Dao Battlefield ends and the Divine Heaven Realm ascends, the vast Immortal Realm’s resources will surge. At that   time, the Xuantian Dao Sect will need even more power to defend the various regions. By then,   compared to the initial investment,   the subsequent returns are bound to be extremely lucrative.   Shen Changqing understood   this ,   and so did some of the sect’s higher-   ups.   Therefore, no one objected to Shen Changqing’s decision. At most, they worried that the Xuantian Dao Sect’s foundation wouldn’t be strong enough to sustain it, leading to unnecessary problems.   But since Shen Changqing was so confident, they had no reason to worry.   Immediately,   this news was announced in the Xuantian Dao Mirror.   An uproar erupted throughout the sect,   and every disciple was ecstatic.   ”Doubling my mission contributions will accelerate my breakthrough to Immortal King status!”   ”Master, wise!”   ”Master, wise!”   This decision catapulted Shen Changqing’s prestige to a new level, instantly stabilizing the morale of those who had been shaken by the news from the Supreme Divine Sect.   ”I’m far inferior to the Sect Master in terms of courage!”   Yang Daoxu glanced at the Xuantian Daojian message with a wry smile.   While he had increased the Sect’s resource supply several times during his tenure, the expenditures were ultimately modest.   At least,   compared to the contributions from missions, they were insignificant.   It wasn’t that Yang Daoxu didn’t want to do so, but rather that he didn’t dare.   If the Sect’s expenditures were excessive, the subsequent chain reaction would be disastrous should problems arise.   This situation   was not uncommon in various immortal realms.   If excessive expenditures and contributions led to a lack of resources, the Sect’s credibility could be shaken at best, and even crumbled.   It was precisely because of these concerns that Yang Daoxu hesitated to make any decisions on his own.   He hadn’t expected   Shen Changqing to make such drastic changes so soon after taking the throne.   In terms of courage,   Yang Daoxu admittedly lacked it.   He also understood that after this incident, Shen Changqing’s prestige was bound to rise even higher, and it would be difficult for him, the former Sect Master, to rival him.   However,   Yang Daoxu was also clear.   The prestige he had built up over the years was actually not as good as Shen Changqing’s, but at least not that much worse.   But after this incident, it was different.   …   The Nine Heavens were torn apart.   A purple-clothed figure stepped through the void and came. The other party stood in the sky with his hands behind his back. Without making any movement, he exuded a terrifying aura that overwhelmed the world and made all the cultivators in the fairyland feel panic.   ”Here he comes!”   In the main peak’s bedroom, Shen Changqing suddenly opened his eyes, and then took a step forward, appearing directly in the outer void.   There.   Tai Luo Daojun stood with his hands behind his back, and the terrifying aura of Taoism permeated all directions, causing the void to return to chaos.   This terrifying aura made Shen Changqing’s face look solemn.   ”Tai Luo Daojun!”   He uttered four words.   He was naturally familiar   with this person .

When Shen Changqing first witnessed the birth of Tailuo Daojun through his avatar, he already understood the power of this ancient supreme being. However, Tailuo Daojun back then was definitely not as terrifying as he is now.

Or perhaps it could be said that

what one sees from an avatar’s perspective is ultimately not as shocking as facing him in person.

Even without Tailuo Daojun’s physical presence, just from the aura he emanated, Shen Changqing felt a terrifying pressure wash over him, causing his blood to boil and vibrate.

At that moment,

Shen Changqing deeply understood the vast gap between himself and this being.

If the other party wanted to kill him, it would probably be a matter of a thought.

“You are Shen Changqing!”

“With vigorous energy and a formidable physique, to have cultivated your physical body to this level within the Immortal Emperor realm, you are truly the foremost Immortal Emperor!”

Tailuo Daojun’s indifferent gaze fell on Shen Changqing, as if he could see through every detail of the person before him.

But while his words hinted at admiration, his tone remained indifferent, devoid of any emotion.

“It is a great honor for me to receive such praise from Daojun Tailuo!”

Shen Changqing spoke with neither servility nor arrogance, his face devoid of fear.

Seeing this,

Daojun Tailuo’s indifferent eyes finally flickered.

“Your character is not bad. If I give you some time, you might one day pose a threat to me.”

“But—”

“I have no interest in nurturing a tiger to threaten me. Weakness is a sin, and for the weak to challenge the strong is the greatest sin!”

As Daojun Tailuo uttered these last words, a terrifying murderous intent erupted. This terrifying power crushed Shen Changqing’s body, and the very air beneath his feet instantly exploded.

The Supreme Being’s wrath!

Heaven and earth crumbled!

The entire Divine Realm seemed to descend into apocalypse. The void above the sky was annihilated, chaos raged, and the sun and moon dimmed.

Whether Immortal Emperor or Ancient Immortal, a sense of despair rose within them as they sensed this aura.

Atop Dan Peak.

Ji Yang secretly clenched his fists.

“Ancient Supreme!”

His eyes fixed on the purple-robed figure in the void.

In the heyday of his previous life, Ji Yang wouldn’t have feared an Ancient Supreme.

But now was different.

He only had memories of his past life, but his strength was countless times inferior.

Before a being of this caliber, so-called talent and foundation were worthless. If they so desired, they could annihilate the entire Divine Heaven Realm with a single slap.

This—

the terrifying power of the Ancient Supreme.

At that moment,

Ji Yang couldn’t help but feel

a surge of fear. It was the instinctive reaction of a body facing the threat of death.

Ji Yang felt this way,

and so did everyone else.

Even Venerable Xuanxu, a being aspiring to become a Seven Tribulations Semi-Saint, trembled in fear.

“Supreme!” “

Ancient Supreme!”

Venerable Xuanxu’s face was filled with horror. He stared at the figure in the void. The aura emanating from it made him unable to muster any urge to resist.

The Third Realm of Sage!

The Supreme is supreme!

A powerhouse of this caliber has truly reached the end of the Sage.

While a Semi-Sage is also a powerhouse striving for immortality, the “Half” character is added before the “Sage.

” A Semi-Sage is destined to remain just a Semi-Sage, a world away from a Sage.

Furthermore,

Tai Luo Daojun is no ordinary Sage; he’s a being who has reached the end of the Sage realm.

A powerhouse of this caliber, let alone Venerable Xuanxu, now a mere remnant of a soul, even at his peak, wouldn’t have the slightest chance of competing with Tai Luo Daojun.

No—

or rather, “compete.”

In the face of such a being, even escaping is a luxury.

“Young Ye, do not hesitate! Leave Xuantian Dao Sect immediately. The Ancient Supreme has arrived in person. This is absolutely beyond your power!”

Venerable Xuanxu’s voice was urgent, the fear in his voice barely suppressed.

Upon hearing this,

Ye Yun fell silent.

“Master Shen said that if we can confidently handle the Supreme, we think there won’t be any problems.”

“Confident of handling the Supreme!!!?”

Venerable Xuanxu’s voice cracked.

“Do you understand what you’re talking about? The Supreme Saint of the Third Realm is supreme. Beings at this level have reached the end of the sage realm. So-called Immortal Emperors are no more than ants before such beings.

Even a Semi-Saint, striving for the Ninth Tribulation, is no more than an ant before them.

Even the sage in seclusion at Danfeng would likely be no match for such a being in person.

Furthermore—even if that sage were to take action, the ripples of such a confrontation would be enough to devastate an entire celestial realm. The risk to you is too great!”

Venerable Xuanxu spoke quickly, fearing that if he spoke more slowly, he would lose the chance to leave.

However,

Ye Yun remained silent.

Seeing this,

Venerable Xuanxu asked in disbelief, “You don’t really think Shen Changqing can handle this Ancient Supreme, do you?”

“I believe Master Shen!”

Ye Yun shook his head, then spoke slowly.

His words

struck Venerable Xuanxu as absurd.

Believe!?

And with his head?

At this moment, Venerable Xuanxu wanted to pry open Ye Yun’s head to see what was inside his mind.
