Terran Guardian - Chapter 3505

Chapter 3483 Reunion with the Tenth-Order Immortal Flame

“I never expected that Sect Master Shen would reach the peak of the seventh order in less than a million years! This is

truly an eye-opener!” Bai Lianchuan suppressed his shock, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Shen Changqing.

Then,

his tone shifted, his expression becoming serious.

“Since Sect Master Shen is prepared, then there are no problems with the Heavenly Forging Palace.

We can officially begin refining this item in a year!”

“Alright, then I will wait at the Heavenly Forging Palace for a year!”

Shen Changqing nodded.

A year was nothing.

After all, they had waited hundreds of thousands of years, so a mere year was nothing.

At this moment,

Bai Lianchuan suddenly thought of something and asked, “I’ve heard that a suspected Supreme Dao Palace has emerged in the Purple Sun Domain. What is Sect Master Shen’s opinion on this?”

“Naturally, I’ll just sit and watch.”

“…”

Bai Lianchuan was speechless.

Shen Changqing’s sudden answer left him speechless for a moment.

Then…

Bai Lianchuan smiled bitterly, “Sect Master Shen’s answer is quite unexpected.”

“Now, the Ziyang Domain is teeming with half-saints, and even saints are plentiful. Even if Fangdao Palace isn’t at the Supreme level, it’s at least at the Great Saint level.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t attract so many powerful figures.

With so many powerful figures in front of us, what chance do you think we Immortal Emperors have of seizing this opportunity?”

Shen Changqing countered.

This question made Bai Lianchuan take a deep breath.

“I am indeed not as insightful as Sect Master Shen.”

“It’s not that you can’t see through it, it’s just that greed, anger, and delusion are human nature. With such a heaven-defying opportunity appearing in the world, how many people can resist its allure?

There are always those who believe they are the chosen ones, destined to seize the opportunity, become an ancestor, and suppress an era.

But in reality, most cultivators ultimately end up as corpses beneath the feet of powerful figures.”

Shen Changqing’s words were like a wake-up call for Bai Lianchuan, his face filled with admiration.

“Sect Master Shen is absolutely right!”

Everyone understands these principles, but few can remain calm in the face of opportunity.

A peerless genius like Shen Changqing, who can easily suppress his peers, is naturally arrogant.

Yet,

he remains calm in the face of adversity, unmoved by greed.

This kind of composure

naturally earns Bai Lianchuan’s admiration.

Such people are often the ones who live the longest.

He had some initial thoughts upon learning of the Ziyang Domain’s situation, as it involved the inheritance of Great Saints or even Supremes. If Tianzhu Mansion could obtain even a small portion, it would surely be able to revive its ancient glory.

But after hearing Shen Changqing’s words, Bai Lianchuan completely abandoned that idea.

Tianzhu Mansion may seem to have some foundation now, but it cannot withstand too much turmoil.

If a group of Immortal Emperors were to fall in the Ziyang Domain, it would inevitably accelerate Tianzhu Mansion’s decline. Furthermore,   as Shen Changqing said,

the   Ziyang Domain is now teeming with powerful figures; even Immortal Emperors are no different from ants there.   The chances of Tianzhu Mansion seizing this opportunity are truly slim.   Furthermore,   although Bai Lianchuan has been an Immortal Emperor for many years, he hasn’t yet reached the point of exhausting his lifespan.   Therefore, there’s no need for him to put himself in danger for such a slim chance.   …   Bai Lianchuan left.   Shen Changqing temporarily settled in Tianzhu Mansion.   Hundreds of thousands of years of development   have given Tianbing City a resemblance to the former Tianzhu City.   However, it’s far from being comparable to Tianzhu City.   After all, Tianzhu City is an ancient immortal city forged by generations of grandmaster weapon refiners since ancient times, and it’s not something an ordinary immortal city can compare to.   For Tianbing City to truly reach the level of Tianzhu City, the time required is long.   Unless…   Tianzhu Mansion produces an eighth-tier grandmaster, and one more powerful than any previous eighth-tier grandmaster.   There is some hope that, in a short time, Heavenly Soldier City can be refined to a level comparable to Heavenly Forging City.   However,   although it cannot rival Heavenly Forging City, the grandeur and prosperity of Heavenly Soldier City are unmatched by ordinary immortal cities.   Let alone Southern Bright Immortal City, even the former Heavenly Demon Immortal City is far inferior to the current Heavenly Soldier City.   Shen Changqing walked through Heavenly Soldier City, encountering numerous cultivators.   Not only were there humans, but also demons. It’s   worth mentioning that   although the conflict between humans and demons in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm has a long history, the two races are not entirely irreconcilable enemies.   Some forces take the racial distinctions very seriously, almost to the point of mortal conflict, while others have a rather vague concept of the two races; although there are some disputes, they are not as severe.   From this, it can be seen that the conflict between the two races is actually a struggle for interests.   To say there is some deep-seated hatred is not the case.   It’s a very simple principle.   Beyond the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm lies a vast, chaotic expanse, containing countless microcosms.   Most cultivators originate from these microcosms, and how many deep-seated, irreconcilable feuds exist between them?   Ultimately,   it’s merely a matter of being entangled in self-interest, leading to a complete breakdown in relations.   However, such conflicts of interest pale in comparison to the racial hatred etched into the very bones and bloodlines.   Currently, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect controls several Immortal Realms, encompassing both humans and demons. With the interests of both races somewhat balanced, the so-called hatred is naturally less severe.   Therefore,   the Divine Heaven Realm does not prohibit demons from traveling there.   As for the Heavenly Forging Palace, it goes without saying.   This ancient power, renowned for its weapon forging, naturally opens its doors for business, crafting treasures not only for human powerhouses but also for demon powerhouses for countless years.

Therefore,

at this moment, within Heavenly Soldier City,

there are many humans and a considerable number of demons.

Before Heavenly Soldier City, Shen Changqing looked towards the direction of the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone. The eerie power there still existed, but it was much weaker than before.

“The Yin God—”

He stood with his hands behind his back, his expression slightly grave.

Shen Changqing naturally felt some apprehension about the existence of the Yin God.

After all, the Yin God was difficult to kill; as long as it remained alive, it would always be a hidden danger.

However,

as things stood ,

the Yin God had no possibility of leaving the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.

With the Heavenly Forging Palace guarding the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone, there was no guarantee that nothing would go wrong.

If that Yin God were at its peak, it would naturally be beyond the Heavenly Forging Palace ‘s ability to contend with.

But now the Yin God was severely injured, and even if it could truly leave the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone, the Heavenly Forging Palace’s strength would likely be sufficient to suppress it.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing looked at the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone for a moment before withdrawing his gaze.

This forbidden zone,

if given the opportunity in the future, would naturally be completely eradicated.

But until then…

Shen Changqing could only allow it to remain there.

…

A year

passed quickly.

On this day,

Bai Lianchuan arrived again.

Accompanying him were several elders from the Heavenly Forging Mansion.

Among them, besides Bai Lianfeng, Shen Changqing knew little about the other three elders, but he recognized their names:

Bai Lianxuan,

Zong Yan,

and Yun Suxin!

All three were top-tier seventh-order Grandmasters.

Including Bai Lianchuan and Bai Lianfeng,

the five were the only top-tier seventh-order Grandmasters in the Heavenly Forging Mansion.

When they saw Shen Changqing, they all bowed politely.

“Greetings, Sect Master Shen!”

“You’re too kind,”

Shen Changqing replied with a faint smile.

After the brief meeting,

the elders looked at Shen Changqing with curiosity and a hint of shock.

Clearly

, they knew that Shen Changqing had already reached the peak of the seventh order.

It was precisely because they knew this that they were alarmed.

After all, as top-tier Grandmasters of the seventh rank, they knew very well how difficult it was to break through to this level.

Shen Changqing’s achievement of reaching this point in less than a million years was naturally astonishing. At

this moment,

Bai Lianchuan spoke up, “The Heavenly Forging Palace is now fully prepared. If there are no problems, we can begin.”

“No time to lose,”

Shen Changqing nodded.

Immediately ,

the six of them headed directly to an ancient immortal palace.

As soon as they stepped into the palace, Shen Changqing felt a terrifyingly hot aura wash over him, causing his expression to shift slightly.

The palace’s interior was vast, and the corpse of the Chaos

Beast was present. Although the beast’s corpse was enormous, it didn’t truly occupy much of the palace’s space. In the center of the palace, a seemingly inextinguishable immortal flame burned, emanating the terrifyingly hot aura. Above the immortal

flame stood an ancient cauldron.

This cauldron possessed a terrifying Daoist aura; despite being burned by the immortal flame, it showed no signs of melting.

“This immortal fire was personally retrieved from the chaos by a semi-saint from ancient times in our Heavenly Forging Palace. It was a tenth-tier immortal fire, and then suppressed and sealed here using supreme methods.

Since then, this immortal palace has been the second most powerful foundation in Heavenly Forging Palace, second only to the Divine Weapon Hall.”

Bai Lianchuan’s gaze towards the immortal fire was filled with awe as he spoke.

A tenth-tier immortal fire!

This was something comparable to a semi-saint.

Shen Changqing was also shocked upon hearing this.

To be honest

, he hadn’t expected Heavenly Forging Palace to have such a foundation.

But upon further reflection, Shen Changqing felt it was normal.

With the power of Heavenly Forging Palace, which had produced semi-saints and several eighth-tier grandmasters in ancient times, it wasn’t too surprising that they possessed a tenth-tier immortal fire.

This was the second time Shen Changqing had seen a tenth-tier immortal fire.

The first time

was naturally in the immortal palace left behind by Venerable Danxin.

Shen Changqing had been very envious of the Taiqing Immortal Flame, but he hadn’t been able to truly acquire it.

Afterwards…

His gaze fell upon the ancient cauldron.

This cauldron had existed here for countless years, enduring the relentless tempering of tenth-tier immortal fire without melting, demonstrating its extraordinary quality.

However—

Shen Changqing could see no trace of forging on the cauldron, nor a single divine rune. After

examining it for a long time,

his expression shifted slightly.

“I wonder which powerful figure crafted this cauldron. I cannot discern any trace of human crafting on it.

If it was created naturally by heaven and earth, then it is indeed somewhat different—”
