Terran Guardian - Chapter 3596

Chapter 3574 Fax Dragon Treasure Technique

This sect competition lasted longer than any previous one.

After all, this competition wasn’t about eliminating a group at once, then gradually eliminating the remaining entrants to determine the final rankings.

Therefore,

the required time was naturally much longer.

Three years later,

the competition truly ended.   Twenty cultivators from each of the three levels—

Ancient Immortals,

Immortal Kings, and

Great Powers— obtained slots in the Blood Pool.   Among the Great Powers, the top twenty were mostly cultivators who had reached the half-step Immortal King realm, with only Xiao Ling making it in at the first level of Great Power.   This result   was within Shen Changqing’s expectations.   Many of those who didn’t get slots were filled with regret, but there was nothing they could do.   After all, their strength and luck were inferior, and missing out on a slot was simply unfortunate.   Shen Changqing looked at the crowd and said, “The top twenty will enter the Blood Pool to temper their acquired bloodlines.   The remaining top one hundred who didn’t get a spot in the Blood Pool will receive a top-tier Dao artifact if they are at the Great Power level, a mid-grade Ancient Immortal artifact if they are Immortal Kings   , and a half-step Emperor Immortal artifact if they are Ancient Immortals!”   Upon hearing this,   many people’s faces lit up with excitement.   Although only a small group made it into the top one hundred, such rewards were still a pleasant surprise.   According to Shen Changqing, even the worst item was a top-tier Dao artifact.   For a Great Power, a top-tier Dao artifact was enough to fight beyond their level.   In fact,   most cultivators who ranked in the top one hundred were not much weaker than Immortal Kings, and some of the stronger ones could even truly rival them.   With such a treasure, they could even kill an ordinary Immortal King.   As for the mid-grade Ancient Immortal artifact and the half-step Emperor Immortal artifact, they were even more valuable.   Such rewards were naturally satisfying.   Then…   Shen Changqing, with a thought, immediately took out over two hundred supreme treasures and distributed them to each cultivator.   Now that he had advanced to the eighth-tier Grandmaster level, he had casually crafted some supreme treasures in his spare time, and these came in handy.   Next,   Shen Changqing looked at Yang Daoxu and the others: “The following matters will be handled by the three Supreme Elders. I will lead them to the Blood Pool first.”   ”Alright!”   Yang Daoxu nodded.   Seeing this   , Shen Changqing didn’t waste any more words. He simply flicked his sleeve, and a mysterious power landed on the sixty cultivators, instantly teleporting them away and disappearing from their original positions.   When they reappeared, they were already in the forbidden area.   …   Upon entering the forbidden area,   everyone felt a terrifying pressure bearing down on them. In the eyes of these cultivators, they saw the Great Dao collapsing in the void, the heavens and earth annihilated, and their own souls like a small boat on a vast ocean, as if a single wave could completely submerge them.   But the next moment…   A gentle, warm aura swept by, and all the strange phenomena vanished. Only   then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, though their backs were already soaked with sweat.   Xiao Ling and Tantai Bai exchanged a glance, both seeing fear in each other’s eyes.   The terrifying power of this aura was beyond their wildest imagination.   If it weren’t for the sect leader’s intervention, this aura alone would have been enough to kill them on the spot.   Now,   they turned their gaze to the blood pool ahead. The   blood pool was approximately a hundred feet in circumference, its water a rich, golden hue, a terrifying aura permeating the air, and faintly visible were the phantoms of ferocious beasts and an overwhelming, ferocious power.   However, with Shen Changqing’s power protecting them, this overwhelming power, though terrifying, had little effect on them.   ”This is the blood pool. Enter and use its power to temper your bloodlines, allowing them to advance to the acquired realm,”   Shen Changqing said calmly.   He didn’t warn the others against using the power of the Blood Pool for cultivation, because there was no need.   Even with these powerful Immortal Kings and ancient immortals, no matter how much they refined the Blood Pool’s power, it wouldn’t be much consumed.   The Blood Pool power refined by any single Immortal Emperor was more than ten or a hundred times greater than all of them combined.   Shen Changqing’s earlier words were a warning to Yang Daoxu and the others, but he didn’t name them directly.   But now,   there was no need for that.   Hearing this,   Xiao Ling and the others took a deep breath and, without hesitation, stepped into the Blood Pool.   On the other side,   Shen Changqing used his divine sense to protect all the cultivators, ensuring they wouldn’t be instantly annihilated by the power of the Xuan Turtle’s essence blood.   After all, even a wisp of the power of the half-saint Xuan Turtle was enough to crush heaven and earth.   In the battle at the Heavenly Soldier Palace, the Xuan Turtle shed its blood, leaving behind a residual half-saint aura that suppressed an area, making it difficult for ordinary Immortal Emperors to even set foot there.   It was only because the Heavenly Forging Palace possessed such a powerful foundation, and now, with a Primordial Emperor Weapon in hand, that it was able to suppress this semi-saint power to the greatest extent.   Otherwise,   the vast Heavenly Forging Palace would have been a forbidden zone for life.   All these thoughts entered Shen Changqing’s mind; he kept his divine sense focused on everyone, never letting his guard down.   Time passed slowly.   A year later,   someone emerged from the Blood Pool.   After one person came out, a second and a third soon followed.   It took about a year and a half for all the Ancient Immortals to emerge from the Blood Pool.   ”Now that you have obtained the Acquired Bloodline, go back and cultivate in seclusion to consolidate it. Don’t waste this talent!”   ”We respectfully obey the Sect Master’s order!”   The many Ancient Immortals hurriedly bowed and then left the forbidden area.   Five years later,   Immortal Kings began to successfully refine their bloodlines, emerging from the Blood Pool and leaving the forbidden area.

Fifteen years later.

A powerful figure emerged from the Blood Pool.

The first to emerge was Tantai Bai.

When he saw Shen Changqing, his expression was one of reverence: “Disciple Tantai Bai greets Sect Master!”

“Who is Tie Feng to you?”

“Reporting to Sect Master, that is my master!”

Tantai Bai replied truthfully. Upon hearing

this, Shen Changqing nodded slightly: “You are quite good. Now you have managed to cultivate your acquired bloodline in one step, and your future achievements will be limitless.

Cultivate diligently, and I look forward to the day you join the ranks.”

“This disciple will certainly cultivate with all my might and live up to the sect’s expectations!”

Tantai Bai’s face showed some excitement, and his tone was subtly thrilled.

After all, he had never even had the qualification to meet this Sect Master face-to-face before, but now he was able to receive encouragement from him, which was a great honor for Tantai Bai.

Tantai Bai was also very familiar with the legendary deeds of this Sect Master.

Having ascended to the Upper Realm over eight million years ago, reaching the pinnacle of Immortal Emperor, his strength is enough to slay a Half-Saint and sever immortality.

It can be said that

most disciples of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect regard him as their goal.

Tantai Bai shares this view.

However, he knows very well that no matter how hard he cultivates, it will be difficult to catch up with Shen Changqing’s pace.

But a goal is still a goal, and it differs from reality.

Looking at Tantai Bai, Shen Changqing suddenly said, “I observe that your physical body and blood are abundant, making you virtually unmatched among your peers. You have already received the true teachings of the Body Peak.

Today, I will impart to you a lifetime of divine abilities, but how much you can comprehend depends on your own destiny!” Without waiting for Tantai Bai

to speak

, Shen Changqing placed a finger on his brow.

In an instant,

a vast Daoist aura surged into Tantai Bai’s sea of consciousness, accompanied by a deafening dragon roar that shook his soul. A majestic heavenly might suppressed him, leaving him stunned in place.

A month later.

Tantai Bai barely managed to regain his senses from the aura of Daoist energy.

He looked inward into his sea of consciousness and saw a seed of Daoist energy resting quietly there. But the moment his divine sense touched it, an overwhelming pressure erupted.

Instantly,

Tantai Bai’s sea of consciousness trembled.

Faced with such pressure, his face turned deathly pale.

However,

even so,

Tantai Bai learned the name of this divine ability—the True Dragon Treasure Technique!

“The True Dragon Treasure Technique…”

he murmured softly.

This divine ability was completely unfamiliar to Tantai Bai; he had searched through all his memories and found no record of it.

However—

Tantai Bai was certain of one thing: the True Dragon Treasure Technique was of a very high grade, higher than any of the divine abilities he possessed.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but ask, “May I ask, Sect Master, what level of divine power is this True Dragon Treasure Technique?”

“You will know the level of this divine power in the future. However, the divine power I obtained was incomplete, so what I pass on to you is naturally also incomplete.

But the True Dragon Treasure Technique has a great reputation in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. Even though this divine power is incomplete, if you can truly master it, it will be more than enough, even if you eventually reach the realm of immortality!”

Shen Changqing smiled calmly. These seemingly mysterious words deeply shocked Tantai Bai.

He discovered that

the grade of the True Dragon Treasure Technique was even higher than he had imagined.

He originally thought that this kind of divine power was at most at the Immortal Emperor level.

But according to Shen Changqing, this kind of divine power was definitely not just an Immortal Emperor divine power, but a supreme divine power that directly points to the realm of immortality.

This opportunity had fallen into his lap, making Tantai Bai somewhat dizzy, and for a moment his expression became quite dazed.

Shen Changqing said, “The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm possesses many top-tier divine abilities, some even boasting heaven-defying power. However, in reality, true strength never lies in divine abilities, but in the cultivator themselves.

Some obtain the inheritance of a half-saint, yet struggle to even grasp its basics throughout their lives, ultimately dying in despair.

Others, with ordinary inheritances, can steadily climb to the pinnacle.

Therefore, while the True Dragon Treasure Technique is indeed powerful, what truly needs to be strong is yourself.

If your aptitude and comprehension are insufficient to master such a divine ability, then it’s like guarding a treasure mountain in vain; even obtaining the inheritance is useless.

Furthermore, the more powerful the divine ability, the stronger the cultivation required to support it.

Therefore, even if you obtain the True Dragon Treasure Technique, you must not neglect your cultivation; do not put the cart before the horse!”

Shen Changqing’s unusually earnest admonition made Tantai Bai understand the implications.

“This disciple will respectfully obey the Sect Master’s teachings!”
