Terran Guardian - Chapter 3475

Chapter 3453 Pointing to a Clear Path
Yin Jiuquan left!
The other forces that had intended to attack the Tianzhu Mansion fell silent.
No one had expected
the Tianzhu Mansion to appeal to the Xuantian Dao Sect.
Even less had they expected
the Tianzhu Mansion to actually enlist the help of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s leader.
At this moment,
Shen Changqing’s sheer strength had intimidated an ancient Semi-Saint, forcing him to retreat unwillingly, putting pressure on other forces.
How could they fight?
With a being comparable to a Semi-Saint at their helm, the Tianzhu Mansion’s threat posed a new level.
Having a Semi-Saint’s combat power was a completely different matter than not having one.
Many forces were secretly eyeing the Tianzhu Mansion, hoping to capitalize on the emergence of the Xiantian Emperor Weapon to annihilate this ancient power and seize its weapon-casting legacy.
But now,
Shen Changqing’s appearance had made other forces wary.
The Tianzhu Mansion alone was nothing.
But the Xuantian Dao Sect’s leader was a threat they could not ignore.
To deal with such a being, an Immortal Emperor was no match; at least a Semi-Saint would be needed.
But the problem was…
At this time,
there were few Semi-Saints truly capable of taking action.
Furthermore,
Shen Changqing’s strength was far greater than it appeared.
His ability to repel the Ancient Semi-Saint Jiang Linyuan and even deter the Ancient Supreme Tai Luo Daojun proved a formidable force.
Going up against such a being for the sake of the Tianzhu Mansion was clearly unprofitable.
At the level of a Semi-Saint, one must contend with the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.
Any slight inconvenience could damage one’s foundation, leading to failure in subsequent tribulations. No one wanted to challenge a powerhouse of the same realm
unless absolutely necessary . While Shen Changqing was only an Immortal Emperor, given his power, no one would consider him anything less than an Immortal Emperor. Such a being , not a Semi-Saint, was incomparably superior. Even the Semi-Saints vying for the Innate Emperor Weapon cast their gazes upon the Tianzhu Mansion. However, they ignored the other cultivators in the Tianzhu Mansion and focused their attention on Shen Changqing. These ancient Semi-Saints couldn’t help but take a second look at this prodigy who could repel Yin Jiuquan. However, they only took a second look. The Tianzhu Mansion’s inheritance was certainly appealing, but compared to a truly unearthed Innate Imperial Weapon, it was nothing. Heritage was indeed important, but the Tianzhu Mansion, at best, possessed the legacy of an eighth-rank Grandmaster. However, an eighth-rank Grandmaster only had the opportunity to forge an Innate Imperial Weapon, but the probability of success was slim. Moreover, how could ordinary Innate Imperial Weapons compare to the one before them? Anyone with a discerning eye could see the power of the Crimson Divine Sword; this treasure had clearly reached the sixth rank. Innate Imperial Weapons were difficult to forge, and a sixth-rank Innate Imperial Weapon was even more difficult. Therefore, compared to the Tianzhu Mansion’s inheritance, the Crimson Divine Sword was far more appealing. Therefore, no one wanted to cause trouble out of nowhere at this moment. ”Thank you, Sect Master Shen!” Bai Lianchuan observed Shen Changqing, who had descended from the void again, and immediately stepped forward, bowing. A hint of respect slipped into his words. Shen Changqing said, “I’m loyal to the trust entrusted to me. Since I’ve promised the Tianzhu Mansion, I won’t break my word. All parties are now focused on the Xiantian Emperor Weapon. With Yin Jiuquan’s retreat, no forces should target the Tianzhu Mansion. But I doubt the Tianzhu Mansion will be able to keep the Xiantian Emperor Weapon!” A sixth-grade Xiantian Emperor Weapon! It’s enough to attract numerous Semi-Saints. None of the Semi-Saints who have taken action now are below the level of the Third Tribulation. Furthermore, Shen Changqing sensed that several auras were lurking in the void, waiting for the right moment to seize the Xiantian Emperor Weapon. If the Tianzhu Mansion didn’t take action, it would be fine. But if they did, Shen Changqing had no confidence in protecting the Tianzhu Mansion. So, Shen Changqing had concluded his words. If the Tianzhu Mansion was willing to relinquish the Xiantian Emperor Weapon, then it would be easy. But if the Tianzhu Mansion insisted on seizing the Xiantian Emperor Weapon, then Shen Changqing could only offer an apology. No one can save someone who deliberately seeks death. In response, Bai Lianchuan gave a wry smile, “That Xiantian Emperor Weapon is beyond the reach of the Tianzhu Mansion. Preserving the Tianzhu Mansion’s lineage is already a feat. As for the rest, we must let it go!” Clearly, Bai Lianchuan had a clear understanding of the situation. While the Xiantian Emperor Weapon was valuable, the Tianzhu Mansion lacked the ability to compete for it. Any Semi-Saint could easily destroy the Tianzhu Mansion. Had Shen Changqing not intervened earlier, the Tianzhu Mansion would have been annihilated by Yin Jiuquan. The Huangquan Dao Sect alone was enough to bring disaster to the Tianzhu Mansion, let alone other factions. Yin Jiuquan’s strength, however, was far from formidable among the many Semi-Saints. This was evident from the fact that he had no intention of competing for the Xiantian Emperor Weapon, focusing solely on the Tianzhu Mansion. If he were truly powerful, he wouldn’t have focused solely on the Tianzhu Mansion; he would have already made a direct move to seize the Xiantian Emperor Weapon. Seeing Bai Lianchuan’s clear thinking, Shen Changqing stopped talking. He watched the battle unfolding in the void, using only his strength to protect Tianzhu Mansion from being affected. After all, in a battle between semi-saints, any ray of power falling would be a devastating blow to cultivators below the semi-saint level.
The clash of Semi-Saints took place not too far from the Tianzhu Mansion. The resulting surge of power was powerful enough to destroy the entire mansion.
Only Shen Changqing intervened, shielding the Tianzhu Mansion with his own might, allowing it to escape.
At this moment,
the crimson divine sword, which had been suspended in mid-air, suddenly trembled. A powerful sword energy instantly shattered the restraining influence of the semi-saint’s aura, evading the void and disappearing into the void.
“Don’t run!”
Seeing this, the faces of the semi-saints engaged in the battle changed. They all stopped fighting and pursued the crimson divine sword.
In a matter of moments, all the semi-saints had departed.
Only the remaining avenue power raged on, preventing the shattered space from healing for a long time.
This sudden development caught the other factions by surprise.
At this moment,
the crimson divine sword fled.
The other semi-saints also departed.
The powerful figures of these factions looked towards the Tianzhu Mansion. Despite their resentment, they could only retreat temporarily.
There was no other way.
With the Xuantian Dao Sect’s leader at the helm, Tianzhu Mansion was untouchable.
Given the opponent’s strength, even the formidable figures listed on the Immortal Emperor Monument would be hard-pressed to defeat them.
“Damn it! This truly gave Tianzhu Mansion a chance to break free!”
“This Emperor doesn’t believe Shen Changqing will remain at Tianzhu Mansion forever—”
Before departing, these formidable figures cast a last, resentful glance at Tianzhu Mansion before turning and departing.
Without the Xiantian Emperor’s soldiers,
Tianzhu Mansion couldn’t be destroyed.
Given this situation
, there was no point in staying.
Soon,
all forces retreated like a tide. Within half a day, all those secretly targeting Tianzhu Mansion had vanished.
Shen Changqing was the first to notice these forces’ retreat.
His divine consciousness
was constantly monitoring all
directions, so it was impossible to conceal their movements.
“They’ve left. Tianzhu Mansion has temporarily weathered the crisis!”
Shen Changqing’s words brought a sigh of relief to everyone in Tianzhu Mansion.
“But—”
Before they could relax for long, Shen Changqing’s words rekindled the spirits of everyone in Tianzhu Mansion.
An Immortal Emperor instinctively asked, “But what?”
“There are many forces currently targeting Tianzhu Mansion. Even if they’ve retreated, it doesn’t mean they’ll truly abandon their attack on Tianzhu Mansion.
Without sufficient strength to deter all parties, the catastrophe could strike again at any time!”
Shen Changqing’s words silenced everyone.
They understood.
What he said was true.
The incident with Yin Jiuquan explained everything. Previously
, other forces hadn’t truly taken action against Tianzhu Mansion because none of them had truly taken that first step.
But Huangquan Dao Sect’s intervention broke the deadlock.
Furthermore, Tianzhu Mansion had previously eliminated many rebellious agents, forcing it to rub shoulders with many factions.
With Shen Changqing around,
these forces didn’t dare to act.
But without him, it was hard to say.
The same logic would apply.
While the Tianzhu Mansion existed, the Xuantian Dao Sect leader could offer assistance. However, if the Tianzhu Mansion were truly destroyed, he wouldn’t necessarily avenge it.
After all,
a destroyed Tianzhu Mansion would be worthless.
Furthermore,
getting him to help this time was already the limit; further requests wouldn’t be so easy.
Bai Lianchuan’s expression shifted, then he looked at Shen Changqing and bowed.
“Master Shen, please show us a clear path for the Tianzhu Mansion!”
“Leave the Illusionary Divine Realm!”
Shen Changqing said slowly.
His words
shook Bai Lianchuan to his core.
Shen Changqing, hands clasped behind his back, his expression impassive. “There’s only one way to preserve the Tianzhu Mansion’s lineage: leave the Illusionary Divine Realm.
If Master Bai Lian is willing, I can find a place within the Divine Heaven Realm for the Tianzhu Mansion to reside in.
As long as the Tianzhu Mansion enters the Divine Heaven Realm, I believe other factions will think twice before acting!
“
Bai Lianchuan fell into deep thought.
Leaving the Illusory God Realm and heading for the Divine Heaven Realm
meant more than simply abandoning Tianzhu Mansion’s existing foundation.
Once admitted to the Divine Heaven Realm, Tianzhu Mansion would have to submit to Xuantian Dao Sect as its overlord.
For years,
Tianzhu Mansion had always been independent, unwilling to submit to other factions and be manipulated.
After all, a Tianzhu Mansion like that would be a mere pawn in the hands of other factions, with little chance of independence.
If Tianzhu Mansion now sided with Xuantian Dao Sect, it might also become a pawn in Xuantian Dao Sect’s hands.
That outcome
was not what Bai Lianchuan wanted.
Shen Changqing saw Bai Lianchuan’s concerns and smiled calmly, “I can make the decision. Xuantian Dao Sect will not interfere in any matter concerning Tianzhu Mansion.
However, if Tianzhu Mansion truly heads to the Divine Heaven Realm, we may need to trouble Tianzhu Mansion with the forging of divine weapons and treasures!”
As Shen Changqing spoke these words,
Bai Lianchuan took a deep breath, his hesitation suppressed, and he made his decision in an instant. (End of this chapter)
