Terran Guardian - Chapter 3552
Chapter 3530 Blood Rain Down, Not Stopping for Three Days!
Outside the Xuan Tian Dao Sect,
strife raged.
On this day,
a bolt of lightning struck the Divine Heaven Domain.
A wave of grief instinctively washed over everyone.
Then , a torrential downpour
of blood rained down, covering an entire immortal realm! Such a rare phenomenon naturally caused many powerful figures to change color. Even Shen Changqing, who was refining pills in the True Fire Hall, was startled by this spectacle, causing a batch of pills at a crucial stage of refinement to fail. However, he ignored the failed pills and immediately appeared outside the True Fire Hall. ”Blood rain from the sky!” Shen Changqing watched the continuously falling blood rain, staining the entire world crimson, his brows furrowing deeply. At that moment, the heavens and earth seemed to weep. An indescribable sorrow welled up from the depths of Shen Changqing’s heart. However, he quickly suppressed this emotion. Shen Changqing was not unfamiliar with such a scene of blood rain falling from the sky. In the vast universe, whenever a powerful cultivator who had reached a certain level of cultivation perished, such a celestial phenomenon would occur. However, the problem was that the impact of those celestial phenomena was limited, and the area they covered was not large. But now, however, within Shen Changqing’s divine sense, the blood rain covered everything. Moreover, he immediately used his divine sense to enter the Xuan Tian Dao Mirror, and even the Dao Mirror of the myriad heavens, and discovered that the entire Divine Heaven Domain, and even other immortal domains, were experiencing this phenomenon. Immediately, Shen Changqing took a step forward and appeared directly in the sect’s immortal hall. Not long after, the high-ranking members of the other peaks also arrived. Everyone’s expression was unusually solemn. ”You all witnessed the scene of blood rain falling from the sky just now. As far as I know, this blood rain not only covered the Divine Heaven Domain, but also affected other immortal domains. I wonder if any of you know anything about this matter?” Shen Changqing’s words caused everyone to exchange bewildered glances. Clearly… They were completely unfamiliar with these matters. At this moment, Ji Yang suddenly spoke up: “Reporting to Master, I have heard of this matter!” Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ji Yang. The latter’s expression was calm: “It is said that a sage is one who embodies the complete Great Dao, and therefore is regarded as the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao. When a sage falls, the heavens and earth weep and blood rain pours down for three days without ceasing. The appearance of this blood rain now, if nothing unexpected happens, should be due to the fall of a sage!” The fall of a sage! Blood rain pouring down for three days— Ji Yang’s words caused everyone’s expression to change. Clearly , no one had expected this news. Yang Daoxu couldn’t help but ask, “According to what Peak Master Ji said, could it be that an ancient saint has fallen in the Divine Heaven Domain?” ”The phenomenon of a saint’s fall is never limited to just one immortal domain. Normally, the fall of a saint can affect thousands of immortal domains, or even an entire state. Therefore, in my opinion, the fallen saint is not in the Divine Heaven Domain, but in the Purple Sun Domain!” Ji Yang paused, then continued, ”The Chaos Dao Palace has been in existence in the Purple Sun Domain for many years, and saints have been vying for power. It’s not surprising that such a being has fallen. After all, although saints strive for immortality, they are not immortal. Even a powerhouse of this level can be killed—” Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed. Yang Daoxu gave Ji Yang a deep look: “Peak Master Ji is knowledgeable and insightful; I admire you!” He, the former sect master of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, knew nothing about such secrets concerning the saint level, yet the other could speak of them so fluently. Yang Daoxu was naturally curious about Ji Yang’s knowledge of these things. Upon hearing this, Ji Yang smiled faintly, “These matters are indeed secret; I only learned of them by chance.” Only Shen Changqing knew that he was the reincarnation of a Dao Venerable within the entire Xuantian Dao Sect. After all, such an identity was absolutely not to be exposed. If the news leaked, it would cause serious trouble. Ji Yang was naturally cautious about this . ”It is true that a Saint has fallen, but the impact of the death of such a being is absolutely not to be underestimated. Issue orders to the sect cultivators guarding the various immortal realms to be vigilant and not give other forces an opportunity to take advantage. If there is any unrest, it must be suppressed immediately. If you encounter problems that are difficult to resolve, you can report to your sect for handling.” Shen Changqing did not doubt the truth of Ji Yang’s words, so he quickly took action. In fact, the Xuantian Dao Sect had few options . Simply put , it was nothing more than a matter of “meeting force with force .” There was no other way. While the Xuan Tian Dao Sect is not weak, it’s not particularly powerful within the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm and doesn’t qualify to participate in such a struggle. Don’t talk about how the Great Tribulation won’t arrive and immortality won’t be possible. Anything discussed superficially without considering the reality is nonsense. However, with the current fall of a saint and the falling of blood rain, the situation in the Zi Yang Domain is clearly becoming increasingly tense. Unfortunately, although Shen Changqing has arranged for people in the Zi Yang Domain, the information transmitted back is limited. There’s no way around it. The Zi Yang Domain is too vast. Furthermore, the area where the Chaos Dao Palace is located is a concentration of top-tier experts; it’s impossible for the Xing Dao Alliance to keep a constant eye on it.
Therefore, Shen Changqing had no way to figure out the situation in the Ziyang Domain for the time being.
…
Several days later.
The blood rain continued.
Shen Changqing used magic to cover the entire Xuantian Dao Sect, protecting it from the blood rain.
However, the news of a saint’s fall in the Ziyang Domain still made the atmosphere within the Xuantian Dao Sect extremely heavy.
Orders were passed down from the sect to the various immortal domains, and the cultivators responsible for guarding each immortal domain were on high alert, not daring to relax in the slightest.
At the same time.
Ji Yang came to visit again.
“Master!”
“You’ve come.”
Shen Changqing was a little surprised to see Ji Yang arrive.
Ji Yang’s expression was serious, and he went straight to the point: “A saint has fallen, and the blood rain lasted for three days.
It has been six days since the blood rain started, which shows that the powerful person who fell in the Ziyang Domain is not just a saint.”
“You mean…”
“A Great Saint… at least a Great Saint!”
Ji Yang said in a deep voice.
“The fall of a Great Sage will cause a seven-day blood rain; if it were a Supreme Being, the blood rain would take nine days to truly cease.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Ziyang Domain has lost at least one Great Sage, and possibly even a Supreme Being.
But whether it’s a Great Sage or a Supreme Being, in this era, the fall of such a powerful figure will inevitably cause many ripples.”
“I already know about this matter; you may return now!”
Shen Changqing pondered for a moment before letting Ji Yang leave.
Ji Yang also took his leave.
Shen Changqing frowned slightly.
A Great Sage had fallen.
It was clear that the Ziyang Domain was truly going all out for the Chaos Dao Palace.
The only unclear point was which faction this fallen Great Sage came from.
“However, if what Ji Yang said is true, the fall might not be just a simple Great Sage; if it were a Supreme Being, then it’s hard to say—”
Shen Changqing mused.
However,
this conjecture was soon confirmed.
On the eighth day,
the blood rain subsided.
Shen Changqing understood that the one who had fallen in the Ziyang Domain was a Great Sage.
In the past few days, he had instructed the Xingdao Alliance to gather information about the Ziyang Domain, but little useful information had come in.
However, one thing
Shen Changqing was certain of:
the Great Sage had not fallen in the Ziyang Domain, but rather within the Chaos Dao Palace.
Upon learning this,
Shen Changqing instructed the Xingdao Alliance to secretly investigate the identity and origin of the fallen Great Sage, while he himself returned to his usual self.
These forces fighting each other in the Ziyang Domain were of little concern to him as long as it didn’t affect him.
Therefore,
Shen Changqing naturally had no other thoughts.
Three months later,
news arrived.
The identity of the fallen Great Sage was finally known to Shen Changqing.
“The Ancient Zen Holy Land… the Great Sage Maha!”
Shen Changqing raised an eyebrow.
He was naturally familiar with the Ancient Zen Holy Land. Of
the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands,
the Ancient Zen Holy Land was one of the Thirteen Holy Lands.
What Shen Changqing hadn’t expected was that the Ancient Zen Holy Land, one of the thirteen holy lands, would actually produce a Great Saint. It was undeniable
that a Great Saint existed among the thirteen holy lands at their peak. After all, without such a foundation, how could they be worthy of the title of one of the thirteen holy lands? However, as far as Shen Changqing knew, the Ancient Zen Holy Land had always remained low-key among the thirteen holy lands for many years, even more so than the Taiyi Holy Land. The fact that a Great Saint had emerged from the Ancient Zen Holy Land, only to be defeated at the Chaos Dao Palace, was quite unexpected. ”Compared to this, the Qingxuan Holy Land, also one of the thirteen holy lands, seems rather weak!” Shen Changqing thought of the Qingxuan Holy Land, the force that had been driven out of the Divine Sun Domain by the Guanming Realm and fled into the Chaos, its whereabouts unknown. Although the Guanming Realm had intervened, their strongest warrior was only a Half-Saint. Even so, the Qingxuan Holy Land was forced to flee in disarray. Compared to the current strength of the Ancient Zen Holy Land, the Azure Profound Holy Land is clearly inferior. Both are among the thirteen holy lands. The former can produce a supreme expert at the Great Saint level, while the latter was utterly defeated by a Half-Saint; the difference is obvious. This shows that while the thirteen holy lands appear to be of equal renown, their actual strength varies greatly. Those with strong foundations are like the Ancient Zen Holy Land, or even stronger. Those with weak strength are like the Azure Profound Holy Land. Although they have a Saint in charge, that Saint is practically nonexistent. Thinking about this, Shen Changqing couldn’t help but suspect that when the Guanming Realm attacked the Azure Profound Holy Land, they knew its true strength beforehand and deliberately chose the weakest of the thirteen holy lands as their target. Previously, unaware of the relative strengths of the thirteen holy lands, Shen Changqing hadn’t considered this possibility. Now, however, it seems highly likely. (End of Chapter)
