Terran Guardian - Chapter 3630

Chapter 3608 Some people are born legends

The Ancient Immortal Tribulation was immense.

Coupled with the extraordinary status of the National Guardian Tree

, its tribulation attracted the attention of most of the Immortal Kings across the myriad races.

Seeing the National Guardian Tree easily handle the Ancient Immortal Tribulation, many Immortal Kings fell silent.

The Ancient Immortal Tribulation wasn’t new

, but few Immortal Kings had faced it with such ease.

The sheer ease with which the National Guardian Tree overcame the tribulation demonstrated its astonishing power.

When the final tribulation descended, the aura of an Ancient Immortal swept across the void, affecting the vast starry sky, causing stars to tremble and countless galaxies to tremble.

“The human race has produced another Ancient Immortal!”

One Immortal King from one of the myriad races exclaimed, unable to conceal his envy.

In truth, the human race already possessed quite a few Ancient Immortals.

After all, the Heavenly Ancestor, the now renowned Evergreen Immortal Emperor, was from the human race.

The two great emperors of the Eternal Immortal Court were also from the human race.

Then there are other powerful beings.

It can be said that

among the many ancient immortals in the universe today, the proportion of humans is astonishing.

Although the National Guardian Tree is not human, it must be understood that its title “National Guardian” signifies the suppression of the human imperial court’s fortune.

Therefore,

the National Guardian Tree is equivalent to the human race’s foundation.

…

At this moment,

the Ancient Immortal Tribulation dissipated.

The divine tree that had pierced through nine heavens gradually dissipated, returning to its original size.

Inside the Demon Suppression Division,

in the courtyard,

the National Guardian Tree’s aura grew increasingly profound.

“This humble immortal thanks Your Excellency!”

The National Guardian Tree was naturally grateful for its breakthrough.

If it hadn’t been for Shen Changqing’s blessing, relying solely on its own cultivation, it would have taken tens of millions of years to advance to the eighth rank and break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Now,

having stepped into the Ancient Immortal Realm,

its strength had increased dramatically.

Compared to before the breakthrough, it was a completely different story.

Shen Changqing said, “Now that the universe has advanced to the second tier, it can accommodate ancient immortals for cultivation. From now on

, you should stay here in peace to guard the fortune of the human race. Only in this way can you live up to the name of the guardian of the nation!”

“Your Excellency can rest assured, even if I die, I will protect the human race!”

The guardian tree made its guarantee, and its branches swayed slightly, with mysterious Daoist charm and spiritual light spreading from it. The concentration of immortal energy in the entire imperial city seemed to have increased significantly.

Just then,

Shen Changqing sensed a familiar fluctuation.

The next moment,

he saw a young man approaching.

“Your Excellency!”

“You’ve come!”

Shen Changqing looked at the familiar face before him, and a rare gentle smile appeared on his face.

The person who came was none other than Wu Shu.

Many years had passed.

Wu Shu had now advanced to the twelfth-grade Dao Weapon, and his aura was not weak, but he had stopped there.

If he could not obtain the Chaos Spirit Embryo, he would have no possibility of advancing further.

Even the Immortal Scripture of Weapon Refining passed down by Jiu Ye was the same.

The latter is a cultivation technique tailor-made for primordial treasures, and can only be cultivated with primordial treasures.

All these thoughts flashed through Shen Changqing’s mind. He looked at Wu Shu, his expression becoming even gentler.

“Your Excellency, how long do you intend to stay this time?”

Wu Shu’s expression was also excited, but all the words on his lips came out as he asked the question he cared about most.

Shen Changqing shook his head: “It’s hard to say, but for a while, I will stay here at the Demon Suppression Division. You are welcome to come here often if you have time.”

“It would be my honor to serve Your Excellency!”

Wu Shu smiled.

At this moment,

Shen Changqing looked outside the Demon Suppression Division and said, “Someone has arrived. Go and greet them for me.”

“Yes…”

…

In the time that followed,

Shen Changqing did indeed stay inside the Demon Suppression Division.

Millions of years had passed, and the vast Changqing Realm had undergone tremendous changes, with few traces of the past remaining.

There was no way around it.

Such a long period of time, if it were among mortals, would have meant countless reincarnations.

Let alone dynastic changes, even civilizational shifts are inevitable.

In fact,

let alone millions of years, even decades of change are significant, and hundreds of years are enough to erase many traces.

Millions of years is an extremely long time, and

the same is true there. The imperial city and the Demon Suppression Division alone have undergone considerable changes.

Yet, only this courtyard before him has remained unchanged from the beginning.

It seems to have lost its meaning at any moment, and even after millions of years, it is difficult to leave any trace.   Shen Changqing naturally understands

this .   The fact that this courtyard has been preserved to this day without any changes is thanks to the Martial Book and the National Guardian Divine Tree.   He also feels a long-lost sense of familiarity with this place.   Therefore,   Shen Changqing has temporarily settled here.   At the same time,   the Immortal Kings of the Nine Provinces of the Changqing Realm, upon hearing the news, have been coming to pay their respects one after another, not to mention the people from the Imperial Court.   Shen Changqing did not turn away these people; he met with everyone who came and casually gave them some pointers on cultivation.   At Shen Changqing’s current cultivation level, continuing to cultivate in seclusion before breaking through to the Half-Saint realm is of little use.   Therefore,   he wouldn’t hesitate to offer guidance.   …   ”I have benefited greatly from the Immortal Emperor’s guidance!”   The Immortal Slayer opened his eyes, his expression filled with emotion.

He had attended Shen Changqing’s lectures before, but now, with further guidance, he had gained even more. The

previously faintly visible path to immortality was now much clearer.

Lu Xianshen understood.

Under these circumstances, breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm shouldn’t be too long.

Shen Changqing picked up his teacup and smiled calmly, “Sect Master Lu’s comprehension is astonishing, and his own foundation is also substantial. Even without my guidance, breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm shouldn’t be a problem.”   Shen Changqing wasn’t lying

about this .   Lu Xianshen’s talent was undeniable.   The fact that he was once the strongest in the Central Profound Realm, and now had reached the peak of the Immortal King level, ranking among the top experts of the heavens, was enough to prove everything.   In Shen Changqing’s eyes, none of the so-called geniuses of the various forces in the Central Profound Realm could compare to Lu Xianshen.   This Sect Master of the Immortal Cultivation Sect’s talent was extraordinary.   ”The gap between me and the Immortal Emperor is widening. The battle in the Central Profound Realm seems like yesterday!”   The Immortal Slayer chuckled self-deprecatingly. Some people are destined to only look up to, never to catch up with.   Initially, the Immortal Slayer had some desire to catch up with Shen Changqing.   But now,   he had no such thought.   There was no way around it.   The gap between them was too great, so great that it was despair-inducing.   The Immortal Slayer knew very well that even if he were given ten or a hundred times more time to cultivate, it would be difficult to catch up with Shen Changqing’s pace.   The other’s achievements were destined to be unrepeatable.   Looking across all the myriad races of the heavens, countless geniuses existed, but none could even come close to the other’s achievements.   Ultimately,   some people are born legends.   In the Immortal Slayer’s eyes, Shen Changqing was one such person.   …   For the next period of time,   the Immortal Slayer stayed within the Demon Suppression Division, seeking Shen Changqing’s guidance on swordsmanship.   He was famous for his swordsmanship, especially his killing swordsmanship, which was renowned throughout the heavens.   Shen Changqing, who created the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Scripture, focused primarily on combat. Therefore, his guidance on the Immortal Slaughtering God’s sword cultivation was naturally twice as effective.   Even the occasional teachings of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Scripture by Shen Changqing were immensely beneficial to the Immortal Cultivation Sect Master.   After a long while,   the Immortal Slaughtering God finally took his leave.   This time,   he was going into seclusion.   The guidance he received from Shen Changqing at the Demon Suppression Division made the Immortal Slaughtering God feel that the Ancient Immortal Realm was within reach. This seclusion would be his chance to break through and attain enlightenment when he emerged.   Upon returning to the Immortal Cultivation Sect   , the Immortal Slaughtering God immediately summoned Ying Tianyun.   ”I am going into seclusion to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm. Until then, you are responsible for all matters of the sect. Unless it concerns the life or death of the sect, you must not disturb me!”   ”Disciple obeys!”   Ying Tianyun was overjoyed.   His master’s seclusion was a major event for the entire Immortal Cultivation Sect.   Once the Immortal Slayer succeeds in his breakthrough, the Immortal Ascension Sect will instantly become an Ancient Immortal Sect.   Looking across the myriad races of the heavens, those truly capable of breaking through to the Ancient Immortal realm   are few and far between. For the Immortal Ascension Sect to have another Ancient Immortal would be of great significance.   Furthermore— with   the heavens advancing to the second-tier universe ,   the era of Ancient Immortals has begun.   Over time,   the status and position of forces with and without Ancient Immortals will be vastly different.   The Immortal Ascension Sect’s emergence of an Ancient Immortal will allow it to maintain its transcendent status.   However, before this, Ying Tianyun did not leak the news of the Immortal Slayer’s seclusion to attempt his breakthrough to the Ancient Immortal realm. After   all,   the Immortal Ascension Sect has many rivals; many forces in the Nine Provinces of the Evergreen Realm are eyeing the sect covetously.   If news of the Immortal Slayer’s seclusion to attempt his breakthrough to the Ancient Immortal realm were to spread, some turmoil would inevitably occur.   Although the Immortal Ascension Sect’s current foundation allows it to withstand most troubles,   it’s always better to be cautious than   fear the unexpected .   Ying Tianyun understood this perfectly.   Soon,   news of the Immortal Slayer’s seclusion spread like wildfire.   However, no one in the Immortal Ascension Sect was surprised by this news.   After all, seclusion was a common occurrence for him. Ying Tianyun, as the sect’s holy son, often took over the sect’s leadership in place of the Immortal Slayer, which the cultivators of the Immortal Ascension Sect were accustomed to.   Without a reason, no one would have imagined that the Immortal Slayer was going into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.   In fact,   after Shen Changqing had been lecturing for a thousand years and had experienced advancements across the universe, most powerful figures in various forces primarily engaged in seclusion. The Immortal Slayer’s current seclusion was naturally not surprising.   This was also the outcome   Ying Tianyun had desired.   He didn’t deliberately conceal the news of the Immortal Slayer’s seclusion; instead, he openly spread it, only concealing the fact that the Immortal Slayer was attempting to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.   Meanwhile,   within the Demon Suppression Division,   Shen Changqing seemed to have returned to his former life as a mortal, his daily routine uneventful, rarely paying attention to external affairs.
