Terran Guardian - Chapter 3481

Chapter 3459: The Danger of the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone

The necessary warnings must be given.

Otherwise, if the relationship between the two sides deteriorates, it will not benefit the Xuantian Dao Sect.

Ultimately,

the Tianzhu Mansion is not considered an ordinary force.

Shen Changqing holds this ancient power, possessing a cutting-edge weapon-casting heritage, in high regard.

Otherwise,

he would not have easily agreed to the Tianzhu Mansion’s request to travel to the Fantasy God Realm to secure it.

While the Tianzhu Mansion’s cutting-edge weapon-casting heritage is undoubtedly important, Shen Changqing believes that the weaponsmiths themselves are even more valuable.

No matter how excellent a heritage is,

it must be transformed into real power.

Cultivating any weapon-refining Grandmaster is difficult, let alone a Grandmaster who reaches the seventh tier.

Each Grandmaster at this level should not be underestimated.

Furthermore,

the Tianzhu Mansion not only possesses ordinary seventh-tier Grandmasters, but also five top-tier seventh-tier Grandmasters.

Some of these latter might have the opportunity to break free from the seventh-tier shackles and truly ascend to the eighth tier at some point in the future.

If the seventh tier is rare,

then the eighth tier is even rarer.

Even a semi-saint would have to treat them with respect.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing naturally valued the Tianzhu Mansion.

If anyone from the Xuantian Dao Sect used their status to bully others and deliberately undermine the relationship between the two factions, Shen Changqing would certainly not tolerate it.

It’s better to say some ugly things upfront than to wait until something really happens before settling accounts.

If it really came to that, resolving it would be difficult.

Upon hearing the warning in Shen Changqing’s words, all the cultivators were shocked, and the slight thoughts that had arisen in some of them vanished without a trace.

Although Shen Changqing didn’t explain the consequences, they all understood that if the relationship between the two factions was truly damaged, the consequences would be something they and others could not bear.   Everyone in the Xuantian Dao Sect was in awe

of Shen Changqing .   Even Yang Daoxu, the former sect master, was no exception.   ”The Tianzhu Mansion holds great significance for the sect. In ancient times, it produced more than one eighth-rank Grandmaster.   The recent catastrophe in the Illusionary God Realm was caused by a supreme treasure forged by an eighth-rank, sixth-grade Grandmaster.   That innate imperial weapon ultimately prompted a Nine Tribulations Semi-Saint from the Scarlet Cloud Sword   Sect to intervene. While the Tianzhu Mansion is now in decline and lacks an eighth-rank Grandmaster, it still boasts several top-tier seventh-rank Grandmasters.   No one can guarantee that any of these individuals will ever reach the eighth rank!”   Shen Changqing paused briefly, gazing at the crowd before continuing.   ”If the Tianzhu Mansion truly could produce an eighth-rank Grandmaster, the benefits to the sect would be even greater!”   These words   made the many high-ranking members of the Xuantian Dao Sect truly understand the strength of the Tianzhu Mansion.   Although these forces had already submitted to the Xuantian Dao Sect, they could not afford to underestimate them in the slightest.   ”That’s all I have to say. You will proceed accordingly!”   As Shen Changqing finished his words, he vanished.   …   Inside the main peak’s immortal residence.   Shen Changqing reappeared there.   With his hands behind his back, he looked toward the Heavenly Soldiers’ Residence, then glanced at the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.   ”With the Tianzhu Residence guarding it, the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone shouldn’t be a major problem for the time being!”   Shen Changqing mused.   He had placed the Tianzhu Residence there, intending for them to guard the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.   Shen Changqing didn’t say this explicitly, but he believed Bailianchuan understood.   For many cultivators in the Divine Heaven Realm, the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone’s formidable power was limited to those below the Immortal Emperor level.   But Shen Changqing knew the dangers of the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone were more than superficial. Deep within this forbidden zone lay something worthy of his dread.   Such beings were beyond the reach of ordinary, unearthly creatures, and they were imbued with the power of the Yellow Springs.   If it were just an ordinary, unearthly being, Shen Changqing wouldn’t be afraid.   But when it came to the Yellow Springs, the situation was different.   The higher his cultivation,   the more Shen Changqing understood the terrifying nature of the Yellow Springs.   It was a place of great danger where even saints and even supreme beings could perish.   The power of such a formidable land, even a glimmer of it, holds terrifying danger.   Therefore,   the dangers of the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone are far more profound than they appear.   Otherwise, Shen Changqing would have completely razed it long ago.   However, concern for the existence deep within the forbidden zone prevented him from acting rashly, even with the backup plan Jiuye had left behind.   After all, an unused backup plan maximizes its deterrent power.   The problem is, creatures like strange creatures might not be wary of such a backup plan.   If they were like the impulsive young man, Shen Changqing would be helpless.   He couldn’t possibly use such a trump card against the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.   At least—   for now, Shen Changqing wouldn’t do so.   If, one day, a sudden change in the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone truly occurred, posing a life-or-death crisis for the Xuantian Dao Sect, that would be another matter. However,   if that situation truly came to a head, Shen Changqing might choose to force the Xuantian Dao Sect to leave the Divine Heaven Realm, and wouldn’t necessarily use this backup plan.   There was no other way.   There are too many forces secretly eyeing the Xuantian Dao Sect.   Without a life-saving trump card, Shen Changqing will always feel uneasy.   Therefore, before this, he naturally would not deliberately provoke the beings deep in the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.   Now,   with the Tianzhu Mansion in charge,   the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone should not be a problem for the time being.   As long as the beings in the deepest part do not attack, the Tianzhu Mansion is more than enough to deal with it.   Although the Tianzhu Mansion was forced to leave the top immortal realm and, under external pressure, was forced to bow to the Xuantian Dao Sect,   it must be understood that no matter how weak the Tianzhu Mansion is, it is still an ancient force with a foundation of immortality. There are still more than a dozen Immortal Emperors in the open today.   Among them.

With the existence of a top-tier Immortal Emperor like Bai Lianchuan,

it’s safe to say that

the Tianzhu Mansion’s strength isn’t weak at all.

The so-called weakness is only relative.

Against a power like the Huangquan Dao Sect, which boasts an immortal master, the Tianzhu Mansion naturally pales in comparison.

However, without the foundation of immortality, there aren’t many forces truly stronger than the Tianzhu Mansion.

Of course,

the Jiushan Immortal Court once easily outshined the Tianzhu Mansion.

But the problem is,

even if a single Immortal State could find even two or three Immortal Emperors of the Jiushan Immortal Court’s caliber, it’s doubtful that any single Immortal State could boast

the strength of the Jiushan Immortal Court. After all, a significant portion of the Jiushan Immortal Court’s strength stems from the Jiushan Immortal Emperor.

However,

the Jiushan Immortal Emperor, ranked tenth on the Immortal Emperor Monument, is one of the most powerful of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Each Immortal Emperor Monument can only accommodate a hundred experts, meaning, on average, only one Immortal Emperor ascends to the Monument from every thirty-six Immortal States.

With this perspective, the Tianzhu Mansion’s strength cannot be underestimated. It’s

a formidable force!

Another top-tier weapon forging power!

Shen Changqing naturally attached great importance to the Tianzhu Mansion.

Then,

he vanished.

When he reappeared, he was already in the first level of the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

This time,

Shen Changqing had retreated to cultivate, aiming to comprehend the True Meaning Weapon Forging Method.

This divine power was profound and unfathomable. Previously, he had spent a hundred years only grasping the superficial aspects of it, temporarily sealing away much of what he hadn’t comprehended in his sea of consciousness.

Now, with ample time, Shen Changqing naturally continued to comprehend this divine power.

…

Time slowly passed.

After 13,000 years in the first level, Shen Changqing had thoroughly digested everything related to the True Meaning Weapon Forging Method sealed in his sea of consciousness.

This allowed him to further enhance his mastery of the True Meaning Weapon Forging Method.

Afterward,

Shen Changqing emerged from retreat and personally visited the Tianzhu Mansion.

After explaining his purpose, Bai Lianchuan allowed him to enter the Divine Weapon Hall.

When Shen Changqing left the Tianzhu Mansion and returned to the first level of the Seven Profound Divine Tower, a crimson-gold hammer appeared in the void.

This—

the ultimate treasure bearing the Dao rhyme of an eighth-rank weapon-refining Grandmaster. While

this crimson-gold hammer could only be considered an Imperial Immortal weapon in terms of rank,

the Dao rhyme it carried greatly increased its value, making it unmatched by any Imperial Immortal weapon of the same rank.

Shen

Changqing had sought this treasure out to fully comprehend the True Meaning Weapon Forging Method.

“If I can fully comprehend the True Meaning Weapon Forging Method, I should be able to ascend to the rank of Seventh-rank Grandmaster!”

Normally,

to ascend to the rank of Seventh-rank Grandmaster, one must forge an Imperial Immortal weapon.

However,

an Imperial Immortal weapon is so called because it is engraved with the divine runes of the Immortal Emperor.

Only by bearing these divine runes can a divine weapon truly unleash its unimaginable power.

Or so it is said.

Only weapons bearing divine runes can be called divine weapons.

Immortal Emperor divine runes.

Shen Changqing naturally mastered them.

In the Divine Weapon Hall, he observed the legacy of numerous weapon-refining masters, glimpsing the mysteries of seventh-tier divine runes.

Even the crimson-gold hammer before him contained the legacy of semi-saint divine runes.

But the problem is—

mastering the divine runes is one thing; being able to imbue a weapon with them, to fully fuse the two, is another.

The True Meaning Weapon Forging Method embodies the means for forging divine weapons and bearing divine runes.

Divine weapons forged in this way can unlock their full potential, unleashing their immense power.

A weapon-refining master of this caliber, forging an Emperor Immortal weapon from semi-saint materials, would simply not reach the seventh tier.

Forging an Emperor Immortal weapon from Immortal Emperor materials would be considered a normal seventh-tier master.

Forging an Emperor Immortal weapon from ancient immortal materials would be a true powerhouse at the seventh tier.

The True Meaning Weapon Forging Method allows cultivators to become a third class.

However,

truly achieving this level is not so easy.

Shen Changqing had never thought that he would reach this level directly in his first step. He only wanted to become a true seventh-level Grandmaster by relying on the True Meaning Weapon Forging Method.

Now with the eighth-level inheritance in hand, coupled with the hundredfold time flow of the Seven Profound God Tower,

Shen Changqing roughly estimated that if calculated in external time, it would take at most ten thousand years for him to make a breakthrough and become a seventh-level weapon refining Grandmaster. (End of this chapter)
