Terran Guardian - Chapter 3488

Chapter 3466 Thunder Tribulation in Chaos

“The True Intention Weapon Forging Method is truly profound. Without the Granted Method, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to achieve a breakthrough!”

Shen Changqing implicitly acknowledged this.

However ,

he attributed all the credit to the True Intention Weapon Forging Method.   Indeed

,   without it, Shen Changqing wouldn’t have been confident of advancing in such a short time.   This method, which embodies the true meaning of a sixth-grade eighth-rank Grandmaster, is truly a supreme technique.   Although these magical powers lack a rank, Shen Changqing’s deeper understanding reveals that even the magical powers of many semi-saints might not rival the True Intention Weapon Forging Method.   Different magical powers   have advantages in different areas.   For example, the Zhuxian Sword Scripture, created by Shen Changqing, is an offensive magical power, while the True Intention Weapon Forging Method is an unshakable monument in the field of weapon forging and refining.   Comparing the achievements in these two areas, the Zhuxian Sword Scripture is inferior to the True Intention Weapon Forging Method   .   Shen Changqing admitted it.   The Zhuxian Sword Scripture he had created was undoubtedly impressive, a true first-grade semi-saint divine power.   However,   compared to the True Meaning Weapon Forging Technique, the two were completely on a different level.   If, one day,   the Zhuxian Sword Scripture could be further advanced, ascending to the fourth or fifth rank, or even higher, then perhaps it could rival the True Meaning Weapon Forging Technique.   But until then,   the Zhuxian Sword Scripture was temporarily inferior to the True Meaning Weapon Forging Technique.   Even so, Bai Lianchuan, Bai Lianfeng, and the others were still deeply shocked.   How could they not know the true meaning of the True Meaning Weapon Forging Technique?   But with so many cultivators comprehending the True Meaning Weapon Forging Technique, who could reach Shen Changqing’s level?   Since he had said so, the two stopped asking.   Taking a deep breath   , Bai Lianchuan nodded. “Since Sect Master Shen is confident of a breakthrough within a million years, then the Tianzhu Mansion will wait a million years.   A supreme treasure forged by a Grand Master of Weapon Forging would be far more perfect!”   He was not exaggerating.   How could anyone else’s forging compare to the perfection of one’s own?   The same divine weapon might appear indistinguishable on the surface, but subtle changes would eventually reveal themselves.   This   was all about perfection.   Nothing could be more perfect than a weapon forged by one’s own hands.   However, reaching the level of Grand Master in weapon refining wasn’t something everyone could achieve.   Therefore, most cultivators sought the assistance of other Grand Masters, simply stating their requirements.   Since Shen Changqing wanted to personally participate in the forging, Bai Lianchuan naturally wouldn’t refuse.   Besides,   having another top-tier Seventh-Rank Grand Master involved would increase their chances of success. A   Semi-Saint-level Chaos Beast was no ordinary creature.   Without sufficient strength and means, forging such materials into a treasure would be a challenge. After   leaving   the Tianzhu Mansion,   Shen Changqing returned to the Xuantian Dao Sect.   Upon his return,   Shen Changqing immediately entered the Seven Profound Divine Tower for seclusion.   Having observed numerous inheritances within the Divine Weapon Hall, his mission was to digest them fully, enabling him to achieve a swifter breakthrough.   This retreat   had taken a full 100,000 years.   However,   in the outside world, only a thousand years had passed.   A thousand years later,   Shen Changqing once again visited the Divine Weapon Hall in the Tianzhu Mansion to comprehend a new inheritance.   Bai Lianchuan, though somewhat puzzled by Shen Changqing’s frequent visits, gave it no second thought.   In his view,   a genius was inherently beyond common sense.   Furthermore, Shen Changqing was no ordinary genius.   Such a being   was even more difficult to fathom.   Bolstered by the Divine Weapon Hall’s legacy, Shen Changqing’s refinement skills advanced by leaps and bounds.   In total, in the outside world, it had taken   only 50,000 years.   After 300,000 years of seclusion in the Seven Profound Divine Tower, he had successfully reached the seventh rank, upper grade.   This breakthrough,   Shen Changqing hadn’t alerted anyone, and even when undergoing the tribulation of the Supreme Treasure, he had gone to the Primal Chaos Tribulation.   After all, a seventh-grade upper-grade military tribulation is truly extraordinary. If it were to occur in the Divine Heaven Realm, it would inevitably impact numerous areas.   Therefore,   despite the ripples that erupted across Primal Chaos when it struck, few cultivators were aware of it.   Primal Chaos is vast, so vast that many areas are a desolate, barren starry sky,   a place where no cultivators venture or linger.   Even the Chaos beasts wouldn’t spare a glance.   Thus   , unbeknownst to the others, Shen Changqing quietly broke through to the seventh-grade upper-grade realm.   This breakthrough in weapon cultivation.   Shen Changqing, after spending tens of thousands of years in seclusion within the Seven Profound Divine Tower, thoroughly consolidated his cultivation. He then emerged and once again journeyed to the Divine Weapon Hall in the Heavenly Foundry Prefecture.   But this time was different.   Shen Changqing remained in the Divine Weapon Hall for a full 100,000 years.   For those 100,000 years,   he hadn’t left the hall.   After breaking through to the seventh-grade upper-grade realm, Shen Changqing’s understanding of weapon refining deepened.   At this moment, he was like a dehydrated sponge thrown into the ocean, frantically devouring all the surrounding water to replenish himself.   During   these hundred thousand years, Shen Changqing had comprehended more inheritances than he had ever comprehended before.   Furthermore, he had discovered the inheritances of several other eighth-rank Grandmasters.

Frankly speaking,

any inheritance that reaches the eighth level is destined to be extraordinary.

However, compared to the True Meaning Weapon Forging Method, these inheritances are far inferior.

“It seems that even though we’re both eighth-level inheritances, the foundation of that eighth-level, sixth-grade Grandmaster is unmatched by other ordinary eighth-level Grandmasters.”

As his divine consciousness withdrew from an eighth-level inheritance, Shen Changqing’s face was filled with emotion.

The more inheritances he comprehended, the more valuable the True Meaning Weapon Forging Method became.

Regardless,

the other eighth-level inheritances were of great benefit to him.

Having comprehended so many inheritances, Shen Changqing felt he had reached a saturation point.

Next,

he needed to retreat into seclusion

, fully digesting these insights, allowing them to become the foundation for his breakthrough to the pinnacle of seventh-level weapon forging.

By the time Shen Changqing emerged from the Divine Weapon Hall, the news had already reached Bai Lianchuan.

“He’s finally out!”

His expression was complicated.

Shen Changqing’s dedication to cultivation was clearly unmatched by ordinary cultivators.

Comprehending this kind of inheritance places immense strain on the soul. As someone who had truly attained enlightenment within the Divine Weapon Hall, Bai Lianchuan had a firm say on this.

But precisely because of this, he admired Shen Changqing’s approach.

Talent!

And even more so, perseverance!

Now, Bai Lianchuan vaguely understood why Shen Changqing had reached this point.

Talent is certainly formidable!

But talent, coupled with unparalleled perseverance, is something beyond the reach of ordinary geniuses.

Such a being’s

future is bound to be limitless.

“What a pity! Although Tianzhu Mansion has had many disciples over the years, few are truly worthy of training and have the potential to ascend to the Seventh Rank.

If this continues, it will be difficult for Tianzhu Mansion to avoid decline!”

Bai Lianchuan sighed inwardly.

There was nothing that could be done about the inability of future generations to live up to expectations.

Furthermore,

breaking through to the Seventh Rank is different from reaching its peak.

Currently,

only a few of these disciples have a chance of breaking through, but Bai Lianchuan hasn’t seen a single one reach the peak.

In this situation, Bai Lianchuan could only hope that Tianzhu Mansion would find some talented prodigies capable of standing on their own.

However, such matters depended on fate and could not be rushed.

…

After leaving Tianzhu Mansion,

Shen Changqing did not immediately begin his retreat. Instead, he provided guidance on the cultivation of several disciples, including Ji Yang, and also observed the progress of many other disciples within the sect. It was not

until ten years later that

Shen Changqing truly began his retreat.

The reason for this

was that his 100,000 years of enlightenment at the Divine Weapon Hall had stretched his spirit to its limits.

If he retreated directly under these circumstances, his spirit would inevitably become exhausted, significantly reducing his efficiency and even risking infatuation. If

this were to happen, it would easily backfire.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing took ten years to recover before resuming his retreat.

During these 100,000 years,

he comprehended numerous inheritances.

Not only were there seventh-level inheritances, but five eighth-level inheritances as well.

Each of these inheritances represents the essence of an eighth-rank Grandmaster’s insights into weapon forging, representing a truly exceptional opportunity for any seventh-rank Grandmaster.

With this opportunity, Shen Changqing’s refinement skills advanced exponentially.

…

Five thousand years in the outside world!

Five hundred thousand years in the Seven Profound Divine Tower!

…

One day,

Shen Changqing stepped out of the Seven Profound Divine Tower, tearing through the void and heading towards Primordial Chaos.

Thousands of years later,

somewhere within the desolate and chaotic void, a terrifying celestial tribulation suddenly coalesced. Its immense power bombarded the air, seemingly wiping out the very existence of the tribulation-transcending being.

The resounding roar and ripples of the thunderbolt’s aura enveloped the void for billions of miles.

Such a terrifying aura was unfathomable even to many Immortal Emperors.

As the final thunderbolt descended, a ringing sound resonated, as if piercing through time and space, and the previously shattered, yet unhealed, space was instantly reduced to dust.

In an ancient starry sky, Shen Changqing stretched out his hand and a bronze bell fell into his hand.

Looking at the palm-sized bell before him, the Dao rhyme and immortal light flowed on it, and the heavy and mysterious aura suppressed all sides. The Immortal Emperor’s divine pattern within it was even more shocking.

“Top-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact!”

“Today I have re-refined the Xuantian Emperor Bell, and finally stepped into the ranks of the seventh-level peak weapon refining grandmaster!”

A smile appeared on Shen Changqing’s face.

In total, he had spent nearly hundreds of thousands of years in seclusion. Now that he had reached the peak of the seventh level, he was naturally in a great mood.

As a testimony to his own breakthrough, Shen Changqing chose to re-refine the Xuantian Emperor Bell.

Let this Xuantian Dao Sect’s most precious treasure truly ascend to the ranks of the top-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact.
