Terran Guardian - Chapter 3629

Chapter 3607 Who is undergoing tribulation in the Evergreen Realm?

? Ancient Mountain proves the Dao!

This caused quite a stir in the heavens.

First, an Ancient Immortal appeared in the Primordial Holy Land, and then another Ancient Immortal emerged in the Eternal Immortal

Court. Including Dongfang Zhao, in just over a thousand years, three Ancient Immortals appeared in one region of the heavens and universes.

The Immortal Kings of all races understood.

From this moment on,

the heavens and universes were likely to truly enter the era of Ancient Immortals.

The second-tier universe advanced!

The Heavenly Dao suppressed the Ancient Immortal Realm, raising it to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Any Ancient Immortal who attained the Dao could not ascend to the Upper Realm but remained in the heavens and universes to cultivate.

In this way,

Immortal Kings were no longer at the pinnacle.

The so-called pinnacle

only counted as reaching the Ancient Immortal Realm.

For a time,

a cultivation frenzy swept across the vast heavens, especially after Shen Changqing lectured for a thousand years, which greatly benefited many listeners.

However, the subsequent universe advancement prevented many cultivators from having time to go into seclusion and digest the knowledge.

Now that the universe advancement was over, the cultivation environment had improved.

In this situation, other cultivators naturally focused on seclusion and cultivation, striving to improve their strength in the shortest possible time.

The conflicts between various races and forces seemed to have subsided considerably.

Meanwhile,

Shen Changqing didn’t remain at the Heavenly Sect indefinitely; he also made another trip to the Changqing Realm.

…

Inside the Demon Suppression Division.

The courtyard remained unchanged.

An ancient divine tree stood there, seemingly existing for countless years. When Shen Changqing stepped into this place again, its branches swayed slightly, as if a profound Daoist aura emanated from it.

“It’s been a long time since we last met!”

Shen Changqing smiled calmly, looking at the national guardian tree before him, a rare feeling of warmth welling up in his heart.

With Shen Changqing’s current perspective, he could naturally see that the national guardian tree had already reached the peak of the Immortal King level.

Moreover

, nourished by the human race’s fortune, the national guardian tree’s intelligence had become increasingly complete.

However, when it came to speaking human language, it was still somewhat lacking.

Regardless, the fact that the other party possessed sentience meant it belonged to the category of immortal roots.

In the Upper Realm,

such immortal roots were considered those of cultivators.

“Very well, let me help you complete that final step of your transformation!”

Shen Changqing pointed a finger at the trunk of the National Guardian Tree, and vast immortal power mixed with profound Daoist principles surged into it. Instantly, the divine tree trembled violently, as if it had received some great tonic. In

that instant

, a powerful divine sense was born from the National Guardian Tree.

The Immortal Kings of the vast Changqing Realm’s Nine Provinces seemed to feel a faint yet powerful divine sense sweeping over them, only to vanish in an instant.

“This divine sense is so powerful, where did it come from?!”

“When did the Changqing Realm gain another expert of this level?!”

Many human Immortal Kings were shocked. No matter how they searched for the source of that divine sense, they found nothing.

That divine sense appeared out of thin air, like a rootless duckweed, completely elusive.

At the same time…

Inside the Demon Suppression Division,

a rich Daoist aura emanated from the branches and leaves of the jujube tree. Simultaneously, a dignified and respectful voice rang out from the courtyard.

“Greetings, Your Excellency!”

“Originally, I went to the Upper Realm hoping to find an opportunity for transformation, but alas, the transformation of immortal roots is not easy.

However, for you, transformation may not necessarily be a good thing, after all, immortal roots have a long lifespan, unmatched by cultivators of the same level.

If one day you can break through to the Half-Saint realm, you won’t need to face the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man like other Half-Saints, but only the Tribulation of Immortality.

However, although the Tribulation of Immortality is terrifying, it only descends once every 100 billion years, an extremely long time compared to the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man!”

Shen Changqing said, looking at the National Guardian Tree.

He had only learned about immortal roots later, after much research.

If one possesses an immortal root capable of reaching the Longevity Half-Saint realm, one doesn’t need to undergo the Tribulation of Immortality, but rather undergoes it once every 100 billion years.

Each time a tribulation is overcome, one’s strength increases by one level.

Nine tribulations of immortality are equivalent to a nine-tribulation half-saint.

However,

given the current state of the National Guardian Tree, the time required to reach any of these stages is destined to be long.

After all, immortal roots have long lifespans, but as a price, the accumulation required for each step of advancement is astonishing.

Even with a large amount of resources, truly raising one’s cultivation level is not so simple.

Upon hearing this,

the National Guardian Tree said, “Whether I can transform into human form is unimportant to this humble immortal. Being able to see Your Excellency again is enough for this humble immortal!”

Shen Changqing was speechless, then saw his divine sense move slightly, and a white jade porcelain bottle appeared out of thin air, its interior seemingly filled with a misty immortal light.

“I see that you have already reached the peak of the Immortal King realm. Today, I will lend you a hand, allowing you to truly break through that barrier and advance to the Ancient Immortal level!” As soon as

he finished speaking,

Shen Changqing directly poured out the contents of the white jade porcelain bottle, turning it all into nourishment for the National Guardian Tree.

The contents of this jade bottle were none other than the Heavenly Marrow Jade Dew that Shen Changqing had collected earlier.

This ninth-grade heavenly treasure could improve a cultivator’s aptitude if consumed, and its uses were immeasurable if used by an immortal root.

Each drop of Heavenly Marrow Jade Dew contained immense power, greatly benefiting immortal roots.

At this moment,

the jade bottle contained one hundred drops of Heavenly Marrow Jade Dew.

Such a quantity of Heavenly Marrow Jade Dew would naturally not be easy for an eighth-grade immortal root that had reached the Ancient Immortal level to break through further.

However, it was more than enough for the National Guardian Divine Tree.

A seventh-grade immortal root!

The peak of the Immortal King realm!

Compared to an eighth-grade immortal root comparable to an Ancient Immortal, the difference was astonishing.

The power contained in one hundred drops of Heavenly Marrow Jade Dew was enough to allow the National Guardian Tree to complete its final stage of advancement.

Sure enough,

after the power of the Heavenly Marrow Jade Dew was fully integrated into the National Guardian Tree, becoming its nourishment, an aura more powerful than ever before erupted from it.

The next instant,

across the vast Evergreen Realm, world-destroying tribulation clouds condensed. All the Immortal Kings

across the Nine Provinces

were horrified.

Before those tribulation clouds, they sensed the aura of death.

“Ancient Immortal Tribulation!!!”

“Who is undergoing tribulation in the Evergreen Realm—”

Many human powerhouses were filled with shock, their eyes also showing a hint of fear. These tribulation clouds were vast, already covering the entire Evergreen Realm.

Although the target of the heavenly tribulation was the one undergoing it,

if such heavenly tribulation power truly descended, a single misstep could destroy the entire Evergreen Realm.

Even if it didn’t destroy the entire Evergreen Realm, the power that escaped would be enough to cause the bloodshed of billions of humans.

Even Gu Xiao was startled by this terrifying fluctuation.

The instant the tribulation clouds gathered, he immediately realized that their target was the Demon Suppression Division. Before

Gu Xiao could even figure out what was happening, a towering divine tree rose from the Demon Suppression Division, its thick trunk seemingly reaching to the heavens and earth, tearing through the nine heavens and manifesting directly in the outer chaos.

Such a powerful aura startled not only the Changqing Realm, but also the powerful beings of all the myriad races.

Countless astonished gazes were cast towards the Changqing Realm.

The moment they looked at the Changqing Realm, they saw a towering divine tree, rooted in the Changqing Realm, manifesting directly in the vast starry sky. Its branches and leaves were lush, like auspicious clouds and a canopy obscuring the sun.

Each leaf seemed like a miniature galaxy, with dazzling light flowing within.

The extremely dense Daoist aura suppressed billions of miles of void. “

…

This is the National Guardian Tree of the Evergreen Realm!”

“Ancient Immortal Tribulation…This tree is about to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm!?”

“Hiss!!”

Many Immortal Kings gasped upon seeing this scene.

A spiritual root.

Now it’s about to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm?

This situation naturally made many Immortal Kings feel like they were witnessing a fantasy.

Currently, among all the heavens, thanks to Shen Changqing’s thousand years of teachings and the opportunities of cosmic advancement, there are quite a few powerful individuals who have reached the peak of the Immortal King realm.

But among these powerful individuals, very few have been able to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Now ,

the National Guardian Tree has broken through first, how can this not shock people?

To be honest,

the National Guardian Tree has stayed in the Evergreen Realm for so many years, remaining inconspicuous.

It was only when the evil beasts invaded and a fierce evil disaster broke out that the National Guardian Tree made its move, attracting the attention of all parties.

It was also at that time

that other forces suddenly remembered that the human race actually had a so-called National Guardian Tree.

However…

Despite the National Guardian Tree’s impressive performance in the initial battle, no one had anticipated that it could break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Even if it could, it shouldn’t have happened so quickly.

But regardless of the shock, the fact remained.

The convergence of the Ancient Immortal Tribulation was proof of this.

“An eighth-tier immortal root about to break through!”

At the Heavenly Sect, Ji Yang calmly looked at the National Guardian Tree. He didn’t need to think twice to be certain that this matter was definitely related to his master.

How could Ji Yang not know how difficult it was for an immortal root to advance?

He absolutely refused to believe that an eighth-tier immortal root could be nurtured so quickly in a newly advanced second-tier universe without external force.

To put it bluntly,

even if the myriad universes nurtured hundreds of Ancient Immortals later on, they might not produce even one eighth-tier immortal root.

Let alone now.

The myriad universes had only recently advanced.

The only explanation was that Shen Changqing was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

As all eyes turned to the Divine Tree that guarded the nation, the long-brewing Ancient Immortal Tribulation finally descended.

“Boom!!!”

A deafening roar shook the void, followed by a deafening crash of blazing lightning striking down from above, as if the very heavens were enraged and determined to utterly destroy the Divine Tree.

However, the tree radiated a profound immortal light, and no matter how terrifying the tribulation, when it struck, at most a few branches and leaves shattered and perished, but it could not truly shake its foundation.
