Terran Guardian - Chapter 3513

Chapter 3491 Dayan Immortal Court

Gu Xuanji was confident

because there were cultivators from the Xingdao Alliance lying in wait within this immortal realm.

Moreover,

they were hidden within the three major forces: Medicine King Valley, the Great Yu Immortal Court, and the Great Xia Immortal Court.

It was because of these inside agents that

Gu Xuanji could understand the movements of the three major forces.

Of course,

getting the Xingdao Alliance to act required paying a price.

But in Gu Xuanji’s view, paying some price to help the Great Qin Immortal Court advance further was a worthwhile deal.

With this thought in mind,

Gu Xuanji’s divine sense entered the Heavenly Dao Mirror.

…

The Great Xia Immortal Court.

Inside an immortal mansion, a young cultivator, resembling a Confucian scholar, was leisurely sipping tea.

Suddenly,

his expression shifted slightly, and then a bronze Dao Mirror appeared.

“The Great Qin Immortal Court, Gu Xuanji’s ambition is indeed considerable. It seems it’s time to change locations again!”

Lu Wu shook his head slightly.

He was a post-natal demon god, but disliked fighting, so he had resided in the Great Xia Immortal Court for many years.

Moreover, based on his own strength, Lu Wu held a high-ranking position in the Great Xia Celestial Court, being a Star Lord.

In the Great Xia Celestial Court, the position of Star Lord was already considered high-ranking.

However,

Lu Wu didn’t feel much belonging to the Great Xia Celestial Court.

He stayed here simply to find a peaceful place to cultivate quietly.

Now that the Great Qin Dynasty intended to attack the Great Xia, they would not give the Great Xia any chance to recover.

If the Great Xia were to fall,

Lu Wu would certainly not stay.

But to say that he would refuse Gu Xuanji to protect the Great Xia Celestial Court was not an option for Lu Wu.

In any case, the Great Qin Celestial Court had a good relationship with the Xingdao Alliance, and being bestowed the Heavenly Dao Mirror by that person was enough to show that Gu Xuanji’s identity was not simple.

Therefore,

Lu Wu was willing to give him face.

Then,

with a slight movement of his divine sense, the Heavenly Dao Mirror disappeared.

“The heavens of Great Xia are about to change again!”

Lu Wu picked up his teacup, watching the clouds drift across the sky, mirroring the ever-changing fortunes of Great Xia. He could vaguely glimpse a corner of the future.

Meanwhile

, in

Medicine King Valley and

the Great Yu Immortal Court,

the Acquired Demon Gods lurking within these two powerful forces received the news and secretly made preparations.

Even

some other Acquired Demon Gods from neighboring Immortal Realms were heading towards the Great Qin Immortal Court.

Given Gu Xuanji’s status, it was impossible for him to summon Acquired Demon Gods.

However—

the price Gu Xuanji paid was high enough, so other Acquired Demon Gods were naturally willing to lend a hand.

Each got what they needed.

There was nothing wrong with that.

The movements of the Heavenly Dao Mirror did not escape Shen Changqing’s notice.

As the keeper of the Heavenly Dao Mirror, he could naturally perceive the clues.

“The Great Qin Immortal Court of Tai Xuan Prefecture…”

“This one certainly knows how to seize opportunities. Millions of years have passed, and this power is no longer what it once was!”

Shen Changqing’s expression shifted slightly, but he didn’t feel too surprised.

Gu Xuanji was no ordinary being; in the past, it was only the environment of the human race that limited him.

Now, having entered the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, he was naturally rising with the tide. Shen Changqing didn’t interfere with Gu Xuanji’s and the Xingdao Alliance’s actions.

For him, the Xingdao Alliance was mainly for intelligence gathering; he wouldn’t interfere much in other matters.

In other aspects, the Xingdao Alliance couldn’t play much of a role at the moment.

There was no way around it.

The acquired demon god’s aptitude was indeed exceptional.

If it were in the lower realm, any acquired demon god could be considered an unparalleled top genius, even the chosen one of an era, difficult to compare with. An

ordinary acquired bloodline would naturally find it difficult to achieve this.

But the acquired demon god bloodline was different.

There was no bottleneck in the Immortal King realm.

In the lower realm, the Immortal King realm was the limit; the Ancient Immortal realm was already sufficient to ascend to the upper realm.

Thus, it was evident how heaven

-defying the aptitude of an acquired demon god was in the lower realm.

However—

this bloodline advantage was greatly diminished in the upper realm.

For anyone with an acquired bloodline, reaching the Ancient Immortal realm is not difficult; the real challenge lies in transforming from an Ancient Immortal to an Immortal Emperor.

Even with exceptional acquired bloodline talent and a high chance of breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, it’s not something that can be achieved overnight.

This level

requires accumulation.

The oldest acquired demon god has at most two million years of accumulated experience; breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm is far from easy.

Ultimately,

it’s not that the acquired demon god’s strength increases too slowly, but rather that Shen Changqing’s breakthrough is too rapid.

For a normal cultivator, having such a force as an aid would be quite useful.

However, Shen Changqing’s current rapid breakthrough means that the level of enemies he faces is beyond the reach of the Xingdao Alliance.

As a result,

the Xingdao Alliance has naturally become a force for intelligence gathering.

The absolute loyalty of the acquired demon god allows this advantage to be maximized.

“However,” Shen Changqing

thought to himself, “immortality won’t be revealed until the Great Tribulation arrives!” “The next   Great Tribulation

is at least three Immortal King Eras away. In that long time, perhaps a batch of Immortal Emperors will emerge from among the many Acquired Demon Gods of the Dao Alliance!”   With a large number of Acquired Demon Gods and their strong acquired bloodline aptitude, achieving Immortal Emperor status within three Immortal King Eras, while difficult, is not entirely impossible.   To date,   many Acquired Demon Gods have broken through to the peak of the Ancient Immortal realm.

They were only one opportunity away from reaching the Immortal Emperor realm.

Acquired demon gods were scattered throughout the various immortal continents, and their sheer number meant that even if the probability of encountering an opportunity was low, the sheer number of them made it seem like a high-probability event.

Over the years,

acquired demon gods had frequently perished in various secret realm ruins, and the Heavenly Soul Curse had transmitted back the scenes of their deaths, which Shen Changqing had witnessed firsthand.

Since acquired demon gods had fallen in these ruins, it meant that some of them could find opportunities within them.

Therefore,

in Shen Changqing’s view, it wasn’t difficult for a batch of Immortal Emperors to emerge within three Immortal King eras.

What truly mattered was how far these acquired demon gods would progress to the Immortal Emperor realm during this time.

Or rather,

whether any of them could seize an opportunity to attain immortality in the next great calamity.

Normally,

the demon gods most likely to achieve immortality were the innate demon gods.

These innate demon god bloodlines possess top-tier aptitude, unmatched by acquired demon gods.

Moreover,

innate demon gods are born at the Immortal Emperor realm

, undoubtedly avoiding many detours compared to acquired demon gods.

However, while innate demon gods have advantages, it’s uncertain who can truly reach the realm of immortality.

If aptitude is extremely important before the Half-Saint realm, then from the Half-Saint realm onwards, breakthroughs require not only aptitude and comprehension but also a great deal of opportunity.

Without sufficient opportunity, it’s difficult to attain immortality.

This

can be seen in the numerous powerful figures on the Immortal Emperor Stele. How

many of those who entered the Immortal Emperor Stele are mediocre?

Especially powerful figures like the Nine Mountain Immortal Emperor, ranked among the top ten on the Immortal Emperor Stele, possess top-tier aptitude. Yet

, even so,

the Nine Mountain Immortal Emperor stagnated at the Immortal Emperor realm for many years, failing to attain immortality.

As far as Shen Changqing knew, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor had lived for an extremely long time. If he were a normal Immortal Emperor, he would have long since died.

However, he had not died, which was related to the Immortal Elixir of Immortality.

Even a powerful figure like the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor had to rely on the Immortal Elixir of Immortality to prolong his life, and he had not been able to truly break through to the Half-Saint realm and step into immortality, which showed how difficult it was to break through this realm.

Therefore

, on the surface, the chance of an Innate Demon God breaking through to the Half-Saint realm was much stronger than that of an Acquired Demon God.

But it was impossible to say who would break through first.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing picked up his immortal tea and sipped it, no longer paying attention to these matters.

—

Void Star Domain.

Flying Feather Sect.

At this moment, this place had become a battlefield.

Many high-ranking members of the Heavenly Alliance, led by Yan Dong, were fighting bloody battles. Other forces that were affiliated with the Heavenly Alliance, such as the Azure Wolf Sect and the Nine Yuan Sect, also sent a large number of cultivators to participate in this battle.

“Boom—”

A powerful aura erupted, and Yan Dong’s blood surged.

He glared at the unfamiliar cultivator before him and roared, “Our Heavenly Alliance belongs to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect! Do you truly intend to fight us to the death?!”

“What Xuan Tian Dao Sect? I’ve never heard of it. If you are willing to submit to our Great Yan Immortal Court, then you may have a chance to live.

Otherwise, after this battle, the Heavenly Alliance will cease to exist in this Immortal Realm!”

Ling Guichen’s expression was arrogant, his gaze towards Yan Dong filled with disdain.

Half-step Immortal Emperor!

Such strength was indeed considerable, but that was all.

As for the Xuan Tian Dao Sect mentioned by the other party, Ling Guichen paid it no heed.

After all, as far as he knew, the Void Star Domain before him was merely a mid-level Immortal Realm within the Divine Wind Continent; how much foundation could it possibly possess? And

the Xuan Tian Dao Sect mentioned by the other party was perhaps just another mid-level Immortal Realm force, at worst originating from a high-level Immortal Realm, with an Immortal Emperor as its backer.

The Great Yan Immortal Court was naturally not afraid of such strength. An Immortal Emperor,

nothing more.

The Great Evolution Immortal Court also possesses [this power], and not just one.

The Great Evolution Immortal Court has long coveted Shenfeng Prefecture, but has never found an opportunity to act.

Now, with the emergence of the Chaos Dao Palace in the Ziyang Domain, attracting powerful figures from various immortal states, the Great Evolution Immortal Court has seized the opportunity, directly deploying troops to Shenfeng Prefecture to gain the upper hand.

The Void Star Domain is merely one of the Great Evolution Immortal Court’s many targets.

However—

just as Ling Guichen finished speaking, a cold and indifferent voice rang out.

“Where did this cultivator come from, daring to spout such nonsense and disrespect my Xuantian Dao Sect!”

As soon as the words fell, a vast, abyss-like sword aura cleaved through the sky, crashing down upon Ling Guichen with the force to overturn heaven and earth.

In that instant,

Ling Guichen’s hair stood on end. His previous arrogance vanished, his pupils contracted sharply, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

This sword strike was too fast, giving him no chance to dodge.

In a flash…

Ling Guichen poured all his immortal power into his right-hand spear, unleashing a powerful strike that shattered the void for thousands of miles.

“Break—”
