Terran Guardian - Chapter 3542

Chapter 3520 Sword Intention Tianyuan

The second level!

The third level!

The further Qianhen went, the more astonished he became by the Longevity Immortal Tower.

This kind of immortal tower not only involved fighting against puppets, but also had many other illusions that tested one’s Dao heart, and even other levels.

In the twelfth level, Qianhen appeared in an immortal palace.

Before him

were many great Dao divine abilities, and the requirement was simple: comprehend and master any three of them, and then he could step into the next level.

Fortunately,

the divine abilities in this level only involved the Immortal King level.

Moreover, among the many divine abilities, he found two inheritances belonging to Sword Peak, otherwise, it would not have been so easy for Qianhen to pass this level.

By now,

Qianhen had completely forgotten about the outside world, and all his attention was focused on the Longevity Immortal Tower.

Once he reached the thirteenth level, it involved the Ancient Immortal level, and the difficulty increased dramatically.

Qianhen’s subsequent breakthroughs became much slower.

…

Thirteenth level!

Fourteenth level!

Fifteenth level!

…

Twenty-third level!

Twenty-fourth level!

…

Upon entering the twenty-fourth level, Qianhen found himself in a desolate and barren landscape. Before him, sword energy descended from the heavens, seemingly cleaving the world in two.

Beneath the sword energy

lay an endless abyss.

“Sword Intent Abyss!”

Upon seeing this scene, the corresponding information flashed through Qianhen’s mind.

“Comprehend the remaining sword dao, and use its power to break through the abyss; then you can enter the twenty-fifth level!”

This was the method to

pass the level. With this thought,   Qianhen

gazed at the terrifying sword energy before him. Within it, celestial phenomena could be seen evolving. At times, sword intent transformed into boundless vitality, sweeping across the chaotic galaxy. Divine trees could be   seen reaching the heavens, piercing through everything. Then, sword intent transformed into a blazing sun, burning the sky; divine trees turned to charcoal; the vast world and even the chaotic universe were covered by the blazing sun, and everything within sight was incinerated by this power.   Furthermore, sword intent swept across like an autumn wind, causing all things to wither and gradually disappear.   Before such strange phenomena even appeared, a bitter winter engulfed the world, the extreme cold enough to freeze time itself, plunging all things into an eternal icebound state—   this evolution of sword intent contained boundless and unfathomable Daoist mysteries.   But from the evolution of sword intent, Qianhen saw a familiar power.   ”This is… the Celestial Phenomenon Sword Intent!”   He was deeply shaken.   Qianhen was naturally familiar with the Celestial   Phenomenon Sword Intent. After all, Shen Changqing had bestowed it upon him, and he had spent many years comprehending it, yet he still hadn’t fully grasped the Celestial Phenomenon Sword Intent of Sword Peak.   But the Celestial Phenomenon Sword Intent of Sword Peak was worlds apart from the Celestial Phenomenon Sword Intent before him.   The difference between the two was incomparable.   ”If I can comprehend the Celestial Phenomenon Sword Intent here, my strength will surely increase greatly. Perhaps I can even use this opportunity to open up several more Primordial Chaos Worlds and step into the half-step Immortal Emperor realm!”   Qianhen took a deep breath; he understood that this was a rare opportunity for him.   Such supreme sword intent is an irresistible temptation for any sword cultivator.   Immediately,   Qianhen sat cross-legged, completely forgetting the outside world, focusing entirely on comprehending the celestial sword intent before him.   …   ”Peak Master Qian has been inside the Longevity Immortal Tower for so long, why is there still no movement!”   Within the miscellaneous peaks, everyone looked at the Longevity Immortal Tower with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.   A full month had passed since Qianhen entered the Longevity Immortal Tower, and he still hadn’t emerged, inevitably causing speculation.   It was impossible for the Longevity Immortal Tower to be dangerous enough to cause his demise inside.   After all, this treasure was crafted by the sect master; even if there were dangers, they couldn’t possibly be life-threatening.   Therefore,   there was only one possibility:   Qianhen was trapped inside the Longevity Immortal Tower.   Upon realizing this,   some people couldn’t contain themselves.   ”Since Peak Master Qian won’t come out, then I’ll also enter the Longevity Immortal Tower to see what’s going on!”   The speaker was Chu Junhe. The moment he finished speaking, he activated his identity token and stepped into the Longevity Immortal Tower.   Seeing Chu Junhe enter, the remaining peak cultivators exchanged glances and, without hesitation, followed suit.   The other disciples followed suit.   Previously, with the peak elders and masters present, they dared not make a move.   But now that the high-ranking members of the nine peaks had entered, the remaining disciples had no more reservations.   …   The news of the Longevity Immortal Tower’s emergence swept through the entire Xuan Tian Dao Sect like a hurricane.   Whether ordinary inner disciples or true disciples of the various peaks, almost all cultivators who weren’t in seclusion or out training chose to visit the Longevity Immortal Tower.   As more and more cultivators entered the Longevity Immortal Tower, information about its interior became known to other cultivators.   Thus…   The daily discussions at the Xuan Tian Dao Jian (玄天道鉴) mostly revolve around the Longevity Immortal Tower.   They exchange experiences of clearing the tower or seek guidance.   The only downside is that   the trials on each of the thirty-six levels of the Longevity Immortal Tower are random, with no fixed pattern.   Therefore,   some who enter the first level might face opponents of the same level, while others encounter trials of the heart, experiencing different illusions or other challenges.   This   has led some cultivators to wonder just how many variations the Longevity Immortal Tower contains.   Unfortunately,   to this day,   no one has been able to fathom the tower’s true nature.

Shen Changqing was well aware of the impact of the Longevity Immortal Tower.

The emergence of this supreme treasure, stimulating the cultivation enthusiasm of his sect’s disciples, was precisely his objective.

“A Celestial Emperor can create billions with a single thought; trying to find the patterns and changes within the Longevity Immortal Tower won’t be so easy!”

Looking at the information in the Xuan Tian Dao Mirror, Shen Changqing’s expression remained calm.

If the Xuan Tian Emperor Bell was proof of his breakthrough to the eighth-tier Grandmaster,

then the Longevity Immortal Tower was Shen Changqing’s most outstanding work, a culmination of all his artifact-crafting knowledge.

While this treasure couldn’t compare to the Innate Emperor Bell in terms of grade,

in terms of its profound and mysterious changes, even ten Xuan Tian Emperor Bells couldn’t match the Longevity Immortal Tower. This

was because Shen Changqing had poured his entire life’s resources, numerous top-tier divine abilities, and abundant cultivation resources into the thirty-six levels of the Longevity Immortal Tower.

To put it bluntly…

The resources contained within these treasures far surpass the combined resources of many ancient powers.

This

is no joke.

After all, Shen Changqing possesses abundant resources; aside from what he needs for his own cultivation, he has poured everything else into the Longevity Immortal Tower. To say that its resources are more abundant than those of ordinary ancient powers is no exaggeration.

With these resources, even without any subsequent replenishment, it would be enough to sustain the Xuan Tian Dao Sect for billions, even tens of billions of years.

After all—

the rewards obtained upon entering the Longevity Immortal Tower are non-repeatable.

That is to say ,

if one exits from the tenth floor and re-enters later, one will start from the tenth floor again, not from the beginning.

Therefore, the

rewards obtained from each floor are naturally non-repeatable.

In this way,

the consumption of resources within the Longevity Immortal Tower is greatly reduced.

…

Time flies.

A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The news of the Immortal Tower of Longevity had been spreading rapidly, drawing many cultivators who had gone out to train back to their sects to witness the wonders of this supreme treasure.

Unfortunately,

each disciple only had one chance to enter the Immortal Tower of Longevity per year.

Frequent entries required corresponding contributions—

one hundred contributions per entry. While this

wasn’t much for ordinary disciples,

the consumption was considerable with frequent entries. If

contributions couldn’t keep up

, they would have to frequently complete sect missions to earn contribution points.

This

indirectly increased the efficiency of completing sect missions.

Inside the twenty-fourth level,

the Celestial Phenomenon Sword Intent engulfed the heavens and earth. Qianhen tried his best to resist, but ultimately failed. Just as the sword intent was about to completely devour him,

a mysterious immortal light descended, and Qianhen’s figure vanished.

“Failed again!”

he shook his head helplessly.

Qianhen had been stuck at the twenty-fourth level for a full thousand years.

At first, he thought he only needed to keep studying it to comprehend the mysteries of the Celestial Phenomenon Sword Intent and then pass the twenty-fourth level.

But the result—

Qianhen realized he was overthinking it.

The Celestial Phenomenon Sword Intent of the twenty-fourth level was not static, but would gradually spread out over time until it completely submerged that area of heaven and earth.

This time

was not fixed either.

It could take as little as one or two months, or as little as three to five days.

And when the Celestial Phenomenon Sword Intent erupted, the powerful sword intent was completely beyond Qianhen’s ability to withstand.

If it weren’t for the protective mechanism of the Immortal Tower of Longevity, he would have perished countless times.

However,

despite the failure

, a thousand years of accumulation had made Qianhen’s understanding of the Celestial Phenomenon Sword Intent increasingly profound.

He believed that

if he continued to comprehend this sword intent, in as little as 100,000 years or as long as a million years, he would definitely be able to initially grasp the power of the Celestial Phenomenon Sword Intent.

At that time, he might have the possibility of breaking through the twenty-fourth level.

Afterwards,

Qianhen rested for a while and then stepped into the Immortal Tower of Longevity again.

The other cultivators were used to this situation.

As long as they had enough contribution points, they could frequently challenge the Longevity Immortal Tower. Most cultivators would emerge from the tower and immediately re-enter, wasting no time whatsoever.

“Damn it, no more contribution points!”

One cultivator glanced at the Longevity Immortal Tower with resentment before turning away.

If they didn’t have enough contribution points to enter the Longevity Immortal Tower, they could only do some sect missions first. (End of Chapter)
