Chapter 3500 The Changes in the Middle-Rank Immortal Realm

The situation on all sides has settled down.

The conflict within the Xuantian Dao Sect has naturally subsided.

However,

even so,

the turmoil in various immortal realms has still caused losses to the sects.

After all, in any war, it’s difficult to avoid casualties; it’s just a matter of degree.

It was only because Shen Changqing intervened this time, using the Dayan Immortal Court as a warning to others, that the Xuantian Dao Sect was able to quell the unrest.

However—

while the turmoil within the Xuantian Dao Sect has subsided

, the unrest in other immortal realms has intensified.

Many forces from other states, seeing that the Xuantian Dao Sect cannot be offended, have turned their attention to other mid-level immortal realms.

As a result,

the pressure on these other mid-level immortal realms is immense.

War and conflict have broken out everywhere!

Some have even come to the Xuantian Dao Sect seeking help, hoping to get the sect to intervene and assist them in suppressing the unrest.

Shen Changqing has directly refused all these requests.

He’s joking.

Although the Xuantian Dao Sect has currently quelled the unrest, it doesn’t mean that other immortal states are truly weak and insignificant.

There are 3,600 immortal states,

and Shenfeng State is merely one of them.

Many ancient immortal states possess formidable resources.

Under these circumstances, Shen Changqing naturally cannot afford to provoke trouble with other immortal states.

If the Xuantian Dao Sect were to recklessly interfere in the affairs of other immortal states and bring all 200 mid-tier immortal states under its control, it would inevitably become the target of everyone’s ire.

At that time,

even if Shen Changqing’s strength were sufficient, it would be difficult to deter all forces.

When that point comes,

the unrest that the sect has painstakingly quelled will erupt again,

and

it will be far more intense than any previous unrest.

Therefore, no matter what, Shen Changqing will not lead the entire Xuantian Dao Sect into this mess.

A slight misstep

could plunge the Xuantian Dao Sect into utter ruin.

However,

although Shen Changqing has no intention of interfering in other immortal states, he is constantly monitoring the movements of these states.

A month later, news arrived, quickly sweeping across the entire Divine Heaven Domain.

“A Half-Saint has emerged in the Heavenly Pivot Domain?”

Inside the sect’s Immortal Palace, Shen Changqing, upon seeing the news, showed a hint of surprise on his usually calm face.

The Heavenly Pivot Domain, a mid-level Immortal Domain, now boasting a Half-Saint was naturally unexpected.

Yang Daoxu nodded: “Indeed, this Half-Saint is rumored to have attained enlightenment since ancient times, but has always lived in the Heavenly Pivot Domain, frolicking in the mortal world and comprehending the Dao.

This time, the forces from other states invaded the Heavenly Pivot Domain, stirring up trouble and annihilating many forces.

One of these forces had some past ties with this ancient Half-Saint, and upon learning of this, he angrily attacked.

The result was that the ancient Half-Saint swept away everything, annihilating all 123 forces that had invaded the Heavenly Pivot Domain.

Even their foundations in other Immortal States were affected; many forces were uprooted, and their lineages were completely wiped out!”

Hearing this,

everyone was shocked.

Clearly,   no one had anticipated

this outcome .   After a long silence,   Mingxi shook her head: “The various immortal realms are truly full of hidden talents. It’s as if beings of this caliber are willing to remain in the Tian Shu Domain.   After this incident, I’m afraid other outer states will have to think twice before making a move!”   No one can guarantee that there isn’t another Tian Shu Domain.   There’s no way around it.   The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is too ancient.   So ancient that its existence is unknown.   And a half-saint realm expert is someone capable of attaining immortality.   As for how many immortal half-saints exist in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, no one knows.   Although it’s said that half-saints don’t emerge until the Great Tribulation arrives   , this isn’t absolute.   After all, once one survives the Five Signs of Decay, they won’t be troubled by them for the next 3.6 billion years. It’s   possible that some ancient half-saints, after billions of years of accumulation, eventually manage to leave the forbidden area, or find other dangerous places that can evade the Heavenly Dao’s detection, and then survive the Five Signs of Decay and roam the world.   It’s quite obvious.   The half-saint in the Tian Shu Domain is very likely in this situation.   Since there’s a first Tian Shu Domain, there’s a possibility of a second, or even a third.   However, for powerful beings at the half-saint level, having lived for countless years and witnessed countless changes, some simply don’t bother with worldly disputes.   Unless there’s an opportunity that tempts them, or they’re actively provoked, they won’t intervene.   Just like the previous Dark Turmoil and even the Great Calamity of the Demon Catastrophe, they didn’t alarm many ancient half-saints.   Ultimately,   while such calamities are a near-death experience for ordinary cultivators, they aren’t particularly severe for half-saints. Of   course,   the core area where the Great Calamity of the Demon Catastrophe truly erupts is different.   In the Zi Yang Domain, a nine-tribulation half-saint fell into demonic beast form, unleashing a monstrous calamity.   But such cases are extremely rare.   Therefore,   this incident can only be attributed to the bad luck of the outer states; they inadvertently destroyed a force with ties to a half-saint, thus triggering this consequence.   However, given the events in the Tian Shu Domain, the forces from other states must proceed with extreme caution.   Who can guarantee that   the next force to be wiped out doesn’t have connections with some ancient semi-saint, or even possess a long-lived ancestor who survived from ancient times or even earlier?   Without certainty about the backing of such a powerful figure, no one dares to recklessly slaughter sects and exterminate entire clans.   ”Speaking of which, the Divine Heaven Domain is also one of the ancient immortal domains. Does this immortal domain also have such reclusive powerhouses?”   an elder suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions faltered slightly, and they fell into deep thought.

No one could say for sure.

In the past, they would have scoffed at such a thing. After all,

the Divine Heaven Domain had experienced many great calamities, the most recent being the Yellow Springs Calamity over a million years ago.

Yet, they hadn’t even gained a single Immortal Emperor, let alone a Half-Saint. But

now, after the events in the Heavenly Pivot Domain,

things were different. Perhaps the Divine Heaven Domain truly had a Half-Saint roaming the mortal realm, but they didn’t want to interfere in worldly conflicts and thus hadn’t shown themselves—that was also possible.

However, even so, the many high-ranking members of the sect didn’t feel much pressure.

A Half-Saint was nothing.

The Xuan Tian Dao Sect now possessed combat power at that level.

In the battle of the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone, Shen Changqing had fought a Half-Saint from afar and then repelled him.

Such strength was already firmly established at the Half-Saint level, beyond question.

Moreover

, the sect leader’s achievements were not limited to this.

When the other party was still the Heavenly Demon Saint Lord, he had already clashed with many half-saints. These things had spread throughout the Divine Heaven Domain, and the Xuan Tian Dao Sect members were naturally aware of them.

Even if there were indeed half-saints lying dormant in the Divine Heaven Domain, it wouldn’t have much impact on the sect.

Shen Changqing said calmly, “Whether there are half-saints in the Divine Heaven Domain or not is irrelevant. Since such beings didn’t show themselves back then, they won’t easily show themselves now.

Besides, the emergence of the Chaos Dao Palace in the Purple Sun Domain has attracted many immortals.

I’m afraid most of the immortals in the Divine Heaven Domain are now in the Purple Sun Domain!”

“There’s no need to interfere too much in this matter. As long as it doesn’t affect the sect, just keep an eye on it. However, pay close attention to the movements in the Purple Sun Domain.

As far as I know, Elder Gu and the others have already entered the Purple Sun Domain, but whether they can truly obtain opportunities is still unknown.”

Elder Gu!

Shen Changqing’s words made many people’s expressions become complicated.

Speaking of which,

none of them expected that Gu Mingfeng and the others could actually step into the Purple Sun Domain.

Of the six who left the Divine Heaven Domain, three perished, and the remaining three entered the Purple Sun Domain. This outcome was naturally unexpected.

After all, the Divine Heaven Domain was currently in chaos, with fierce strife outside the Profound Heaven Dao Sect. For someone with the cultivation of an Ancient Immortal Realm cultivator to traverse numerous Immortal Domains and directly enter a supreme Immortal Domain like the Purple Sun Domain was obviously fraught with risks.

No one had anticipated

that they would actually achieve this.

However,

everyone else understood that

entering the Purple Sun Domain was one thing, but obtaining any opportunity was another.

Regardless, entering the Purple Sun Domain meant at least half the battle was won.

If they couldn’t even reach the Purple Sun Domain, then everything else was just empty talk.

After giving his instructions,

Shen Changqing departed.

However, the matter of Gu Mingfeng and the others still caused some ripples within the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, but it quickly subsided.

After all,

although the three had entered the Purple Sun Domain, whether they would obtain any opportunities, and whether they would return alive, were all questions.

It should be known that the current Ziyang Domain is a gathering place for powerful individuals, with rumors even circulating about Saints vying for supremacy.

The matter is still unresolved, so there’s no need for further discussion.

However, following Shen Changqing’s orders, the sect’s attention to the Ziyang Domain has increased even further.

…

Inside the Yangxin Residence.

With a slight movement of his divine sense, Shen Changqing saw a fragment of a supreme treasure appear before him.

This fragment was   none other than the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal. The

Great Yan Immortal Court was destroyed.

This top-tier treasure of the Great Yan Immortal Court was also shattered. But undeniably, the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal was extraordinary.   With Shen Changqing’s current discerning eye, he could see that this top-grade Emperor Immortal artifact was not man-made, but rather naturally born of heaven and earth. Such   naturally born treasures possess profound and unfathomable Daoist principles; if one could comprehend them, it could offer some assistance in breaking through to the eighth level.   Although the assistance might not be significant, it would still be a small contribution.   Even though the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal before him was shattered, the remaining traces of its Daoist aura had not truly dissipated.   In fact, even a fragment   of a treasure of this caliber   would be considered a heaven-defying existence for an ordinary cultivator.   Looking at the fragments of the immortal seal before him, Shen Changqing seemed to see scenes of ancient times within these Daoist auras.   It was the time when the Nine Dragons Immortal Seal was born from heaven and earth, enduring countless ages, ultimately preserving these ancient Daoist auras.   When Shen Changqing’s divine sense entered the immortal seal, it was as if he heard a thunderous dragon roar shaking the nine heavens.
