Terran Guardian - Chapter 3611

Chapter 3589 The Limits of the Ascension Altar

Using avatars to suppress the turmoil.

This is the most time-efficient method.

After all, the calamities in the myriad universes are not severe, and now Ji Yang and Gu Qingyang are guarding the source.

In this way

, the possibility of other evil beasts re-entering the myriad universes is greatly suppressed.

As for the current calamities in the myriad universes, it is not a problem to solve them with the power of avatars.

Otherwise,

Shen Changqing would not have used the power of avatars so easily.

After all—

if the avatars perish,

it will also affect his own strength.

After sending out the avatars, Shen Changqing also crushed a Nirvana Immortal Pill, using the power of the pill to heal the injuries on everyone’s bodies.

As the immortal pills rained down, everyone’s injuries healed at a speed visible to the n*ked eye.

Even those who were seriously injured and on the verge of death were able to recover under this power.

This scene once again shocked everyone’s hearts.

However—

compared to Shen Changqing’s earlier casual slaying of the ancient immortal beasts and his effortless annihilation of all the Heavenly Sect’s beasts, this method was far more palatable.

At this moment,

all the Heavenly Sect elders stepped forward to pay their respects.

“Greetings, Ancestor!”

Although some of these people were from the same era as Shen Changqing, they all addressed him as Ancestor.

After all,

Shen Changqing was no longer the Heavenly Sect’s Sect Master.

Above Jiang Zhen was Yu Ren, and above Yu Ren was Shen Changqing, the founding Sect Master.

Therefore,

addressing him as Ancestor was the most appropriate.

Shen Changqing nodded slightly: “It’s been millions of years since we last met. It seems your strength has improved considerably. You haven’t neglected your cultivation these past years!”

Don’t be fooled by the Heavenly Sect being suppressed by the beasts; in the vast universe, the Heavenly Sect’s strength was definitely not weak.

In Shen Changqing’s eyes, there were no fewer than twenty or thirty Heavenly Sect Immortal Kings.

Moreover,

cultivators like Tai Shan Lei Ji had even reached the peak of the Immortal King level.

The difference between being half a step away from an Ancient Immortal, or even a true Ancient Immortal, is not significant.

Those slightly weaker, like Gu Huangxing, are at least at the mid-stage of the Immortal King realm.

Compared to eight million years ago, the current strength of the Heavenly Sect has increased by more than one level.

It should be noted

that before this,

Yu Ren, Gu Bai, and others had already ascended to the Upper Realm.

If these individuals are included, the Heavenly Sect’s strength would only be stronger.

“Jiang Zhen, you are very good!”

Shen Changqing’s final gaze fell upon Jiang Zhen, his praise undisguised.

“What this disciple did was merely his duty; I do not deserve the Ancestor’s praise!”

Jiang Zhen said respectfully and humbly.

Hearing this,

Shen Changqing became even more satisfied.

To be honest, given the situation just now, it would have been natural for Jiang Zhen to try and break through.

But he didn’t do so; instead, he intended to use his own strength to block the Ancient Immortal Beast, creating a chance for other sect cultivators to survive.

Regardless of Jiang Zhen’s previous actions, this alone makes him worthy of the title of Heavenly Sect Master.

“Very well, this isn’t the place to talk. Let’s clean up the battlefield first, and we’ll discuss other matters later!”

“Yes—”

…

The Twelve Heavenly Sealing God Formation was broken.

The evil beasts rampaged into the Heavenly Sect.

The vast sect became a battlefield.

In this battle, countless cultivators perished, their blood staining the earth, a truly shocking sight.

Not only that

, but many places in various peaks and branches were also affected.

Now that the Heavenly Sect’s evil calamity has been quelled, there are some things that need to be handled properly.

“Collect all the disciples who died in battle, try to preserve their remains intact, and then bury them in the Protectorate Mausoleum. Do not neglect this!”

Jiang Zhen looked at the many corpses of the sect disciples before him, a trace of sorrow flashing in his eyes.

Although the Heavenly Sect was powerful and had countless disciples, even so, Jiang Zhen saw many familiar faces among them.

But now,

these disciples had all perished in the battle against the evil beasts.

Now that Shen Changqing has returned from the Upper Realm, Jiang Zhen learned from him the true names and origins of these strange creatures.

They are demonic beasts!

Bizarre beings corrupted by the power of great demons.

The Protectorate Mausoleum that Jiang Zhen mentioned is actually a place he specially created after taking control of the Heavenly Sect.

All Heavenly Sect cultivators who fall and rise from the dead are buried in the Protectorate Mausoleum.

Now,

these disciples who perished in the battle for the Heavenly Sect naturally deserve to be buried there as well.

“We obey!”

The elders of each peak respectfully accepted the order.

Previously, many Immortal Kings on each peak secretly resented Jiang Zhen’s position as Sect Master, but they hadn’t acted because of the domineering Heavenly Lord.

However, Jiang Zhen’s actions in the subsequent battle had earned their respect, and now they naturally obeyed their Sect Master’s orders.

Of course,

this was only one reason.

The biggest reason was actually Shen Changqing’s return.

With that sect patriarch present, who would dare disrespect Jiang Zhen, the current sect leader?

It’s important to understand that

Jiang Zhen obtained his position as sect leader from Yu Ren, who in turn inherited it from Shen Changqing.

This effectively means that Jiang Zhen is someone Shen Changqing favors.

Moreover,

Shen Changqing has previously shown considerable appreciation for Jiang Zhen.

If anyone disobeys Jiang Zhen’s orders now, and that patriarch investigates, no one will escape unscathed.

In short,

Shen Changqing is the pillar of stability for the Heavenly Sect today.

With the other   side present, the Heavenly Sect remained stable. Meanwhile,

atop the Heavenly Sect,

Shen Changqing’s divine sense covered the entire sect, completely eradicating the remaining power of the evil calamities.

Simultaneously,

the collapsed immortal mountain rose anew.

Everything from the Heavenly Sect of the past was restored.

This scene didn’t cause much of a stir.

After all, everyone knew that Shen Changqing was rebuilding the Heavenly Sect, a task not difficult for many cultivators.

However, the terrifying power of his divine sense covering the entire sect during Shen Changqing’s reconstruction appeared to other cultivators like ants gazing at the heavens.

In less than a moment,

the Heavenly Sect was rebuilt.

At the summit,

Shen Changqing looked down upon the entire sect, but his divine sense covered an even greater distance, encompassing the entire Ancient Continent.

Undeniably,

the Ancient Continent was indeed vast,

but that was only relative.

At Shen Changqing’s level, the range of his divine sense had already reached an astonishing level.

A mere ancient continent was no problem.

At this moment,

under Shen Changqing’s divine sense, everything on the entire ancient continent was within his sight.

He saw that all the evil beasts in the various domains had been completely annihilated, not a single one left.

Even the remaining aura of evil calamity had been completely erased.

This result

was not unexpected for Shen Changqing.

After all, he had been watching the actions of his avatar.

The ancient continent, being a gathering place for all races, attracted the largest number of evil beasts.

But these evil beasts were easily destroyed by an avatar at the Immortal Emperor level.

“The evil calamity on the ancient continent has been resolved. Once all the remaining evil beasts in the void are annihilated, this calamity will be completely quelled!”

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

Then,

Shen Changqing took a step forward and entered the Ascension Altar.

He attempted to activate the Daoist aura on the Ascension Altar, and in the next instant, celestial light soared into the sky, filled with a vast power of Daoist aura.

This commotion instantly alarmed everyone in the Heavenly Sect. When they arrived, they witnessed the scene on the Ascension Altar.

Instantly ,

everyone’s expression changed drastically.

“Ancestor—”

However, at that moment,

all the Daoist aura and celestial light shattered inch by inch, and the passage pointing directly to the upper realm also collapsed with a deafening roar.

Instantly,

all the strange phenomena dissipated.

Shen Changqing shook his head: “It seems it really didn’t work!”

Then,

he descended from the Ascension Altar.

Jiang Zhen couldn’t help but ask, “Ancestor, are you planning to return to the Upper Realm?”

“The calamity hasn’t been completely quelled yet, so naturally I’m not in a hurry to leave. This is merely an attempt to see if the Ascension Altar can allow me to return to the Upper Realm.

Unfortunately, this Ascension Altar can only accommodate ordinary Ancient Immortals. If I wish to return to the Upper Realm, the only way is to break through the barriers of the universe!”

Shen Changqing didn’t hide anything and spoke frankly.

Although he had already suspected this, actually trying it now effectively ended his idea of using the Ascension Altar to return to the Upper Realm.

The reason was simple.

No matter how strong the Ascension Altar was, it had its limits.

The power it contained was limited to accommodating only Ancient Immortals.

A Celestial Emperor level expert could not possibly use the Ascension Altar to enter the Upper Realm.

Although Shen Changqing could suppress his cultivation, he needed to understand that not only had his cultivation reached the pinnacle of Celestial Emperor, but his physical body was also at the same level.

To be precise…

His physical body is already halfway to the level of a half-saint, only needing a catalyst to achieve physical sainthood.

With such a physical body as a foundation, even if Shen Changqing suppresses his cultivation with all his might, he cannot change this fundamental nature.

Therefore,

the passage opened by the Ascension Altar is naturally unable to bear such power.

As a result,

if Shen Changqing wants to return to the Upper Realm, he will either have to tear apart the barriers of the universe or return through the initial rift.

However,

these things are not difficult for him.

Just as Shen Changqing said, the calamity has not yet been completely quelled, so he naturally does not need to rush back to the Upper Realm.

Moreover,

the Xuan Tian Dao Sect has a powerhouse comparable to a second-tribulation half-saint.

With Duan Changsheng there, there will naturally be no problem for the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

Upon hearing this, the people of the Heavenly Sect all breathed a sigh of relief.

They thought that he had only been here a short time and was already going to return to the Upper Realm.

After all, many people still had questions they wanted to ask this sect patriarch, but the sect was currently in dire need of rebuilding, and it wasn’t the time to discuss these matters.

Shen Changqing didn’t seem to have any immediate plans to return to the Upper Realm, which reassured them.
