Terran Guardian - Chapter 3632

Chapter 3610 Upper Realm Chaos

The army marched forth.

The rifts that had previously torn through the heavens by the demonic beasts had completely vanished with the universe’s advancement.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing directly set about opening a passage to the Upper Chaos Realm.

With the universe’s advancement,

space became increasingly stable,

and the Heavenly Dao’s essence was more refined.

Now, simply opening a spatial passage had little impact on the heavens.

However—

not everyone could directly open a passage to the Upper Chaos Realm.

Even opening a passage within the heavens was far easier than breaking through the barriers of the heavens from the outside.   Without the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor, one couldn’t even dream of doing so.

But   for Shen Changqing, this was effortless.   He stepped into the spatial passage, followed closely by cultivators of all races.   When numerous immortal ships and warships appeared in the chaos, all the cultivators instinctively gasped at the sight before them.   ”The Upper Realm is Chaos!”   They gazed at the vast chaotic void before them. Although it seemed similar to the void of the heavens, it gave them a sense of boundless abyss.   Here,   time and space seemed to have lost their meaning.   Countless stars were scattered in all directions, and some cultivators looked back to see the true face of the universe.   Some cultivators even keenly noticed that the Great Dao here had become increasingly active, and the immortal energy contained within was much denser than in most other parts of the universe.   Only the Nine Great Domains in the Ancient Continent, which possessed mid-grade immortal veins, had immortal energy that was three times stronger.   On the warship of the Eternal Immortal Court,   Gu Ling looked at the chaotic scene before him, and a hint of shock appeared on his calm face.   ”The Upper Realm truly deserves to be called a holy land for cultivation. Such a cultivation environment is unmatched by ordinary lower universes.   It is said that the cultivation environment of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is the best. I wonder what such a place is like!”   For a moment, the thought of going to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm even crossed Gu Ling’s mind.   However, she quickly suppressed this thought.   The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm!   One day, she would go there.   But—   definitely not now.   With her current cultivation level of a mere mid-stage Immortal King, even if she wasn’t an ant in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, she probably wouldn’t be much stronger.   There was no point in rashly entering the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm with such strength.   Besides,   the universe had now advanced.   While the cultivation environment there wasn’t as good as the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, it was far superior to before.   With the Qi of the Eternal Immortal Court as her foundation, Gu Ling had enough confidence to gradually advance to the Ancient Immortal Realm.   Under these circumstances, she naturally didn’t need to rush to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.   On the other side,   Dongfang Zhao and the others also had different expressions.   The Upper Realm Chaos.   This was their first time stepping into such a place. Only   by truly witnessing the vastness of Chaos could they understand their own insignificance.   The power they possessed seemed weak and feeble in the face of the boundless chaos before them.   As the warships continued their advance, dark cracks could be seen filling some of the void, with terrifying Daoist auras raging and preventing space from healing itself.   Even ancient immortals who witnessed such a Daoist aura felt a chill run down their spines.   Moreover,   some cultivators saw a ferocious beast, seemingly at the Immortal Emperor realm, instantly slain when it accidentally touched a piece of void Daoist aura.   That scene   was utterly terrifying . Only   now   did the cultivators of the heavens truly understand that the dangers of the Upper Realm were far greater than they had imagined.   Here, even Immortal Emperors could not roam freely.   … “The dangers of the Upper Realm   are well-deserved. If   it weren’t for the guidance of Immortal Emperor Changqing, we would have lost more than half of our forces before even truly entering the Tianhong Universe!”   On the immortal ship of the Primordial Holy Land, Gu Chen looked at the chaotic void before him, his expression grave.   They had been traversing the chaos for about three months now, and the dangers they had encountered were far more than just one or two.   They encountered two or three ferocious beasts at the Immortal Emperor level alone.   The strength of any one of these beasts was beyond the capabilities of any cultivator in the heavens.   Some dangers were so great that even Immortal Emperors would bleed.   This showed just how perilous it was to rashly step into the Upper Realm Chaos without sufficient strength.   After breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, Gu Chen was quite confident in his strength.   But now, having truly entered the Upper Realm and witnessed the vastness of Chaos, he truly understood that what was considered top-tier cultivation in the heavens was utterly insignificant in the Upper Realm.   Even though Shen Changqing had told him about the Upper Realm, it wasn’t as shocking as witnessing it firsthand.   Gu Qingyang stood with his hands behind his back, his expression much calmer.   ”The Upper Realm is teeming with powerful beings. Hidden within this vast chaos are countless ancient beings who have attained immortality and are unafraid of the passage of time .   The dangers you see now are merely the most insignificant things in the Upper Realm.   If we were to encounter those ancient beings, without a master to protect us, we cultivators of the heavens would be annihilated in an instant!”   At this point,   Gu Qingyang paused, a deep sense of apprehension suddenly appearing on his face.   ”You haven’t truly witnessed the immense power wielded by those who have attained immortality.   Even I am no different from an ant before such beings.”   ”Immortality…”   Gu Qingyang’s words not only silenced Gu Chen but also chilled the hearts of the other powerful figures from the ancient holy lands.   For them, beings at that level were naturally distant.   Meanwhile, as the army set out for war, in   the Tianhong Universe,   within the Dao Palace,   the Great Heavenly Venerable Gu Hong frowned deeply. He had a vague premonition of misfortune, but couldn’t fathom its cause.

This feeling made even the Great Celestial Venerable Gu Hong uneasy.

“Having cultivated for so long, this sixth sense is absolutely infallible. Could this celestial warning be related to the fall of Yue Zhi and the others—”

He had spent years in the Tianhong Universe, and normally, he shouldn’t have this inexplicable feeling.

A hundred years ago,

the nine Celestial Venerables, including Yue Zhi,

perished, wiping out most of the elite cultivators of the Tianhong Universe.

This was the only thing that Gu Hong had been unable to deduce.

Now, his unseen sixth sense made him involuntarily connect it to this.

Otherwise,

it would be difficult to explain where this ominous premonition came from.

Thinking of this

, Gu Hong couldn’t sit still any longer. He stepped out of his Dao Palace, his terrifying divine sense spreading wildly, carefully examining every corner of the vast universe.

Suddenly,

Gu Hong’s expression shifted slightly, and he arrived at a desolate void.

Here,

there was no trace of life.

However, Gu Hong could discover that within this seemingly peaceful space lay a hidden Dao restriction.

“A spatial passage!”

A sweep of his divine sense revealed the aura of one of his disciples within this Dao restriction.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this was the spatial passage that disciple had created.

In the past, Gu Hong wouldn’t have cared about such a passage.

After all, within the Tianhong Universe, he was confident no one could rival him.

Even if a half-saint from the upper realm entered the Tianhong Universe, so what?

Under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao rules,

Gu Hong was confident he could handle it.

But now,

an ominous premonition made him dare not be careless.

Upon sensing the remaining Dao restriction, Gu Hong immediately acted, completely erasing it.

Without the remaining power of the Dao restriction, this spatial passage, which had existed for countless years, gradually healed.

In less than a few breaths, the spatial passage was completely closed.

Having done all this, Gu Hong went elsewhere.

The following time…

This Grand Celestial Venerable of the Tianhong Universe traversed almost the entire starry sky, shattering every existing spatial passage to ensure there were no omissions.

With the collapse of the last spatial passage, the ominous premonition seemed to lessen considerably.   Gu Hong, his tense mind, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.   …

On   the other side.   The instant the spatial passage was destroyed.   On the Void Divine Ship, Shen Changqing raised an eyebrow, then with a thought, a jade talisman appeared in his palm.   However, this jade talisman now shone dimly, covered with numerous cracks, all its Daoist aura dissipating at that moment.   ”It seems that person sensed something and sealed off the spatial passage left by Yue Zhi!”   Shen Changqing clenched his fingers tightly, and the jade talisman turned to dust and vanished.   Throughout,   his expression remained calm.   Learning of the existence of the spatial passage from Yue Zhi’s divine soul memories was merely a backup plan for Shen Changqing.   If he could directly enter the Tianhong Universe through the spatial passage, it would save him a lot of trouble.   However, if the spatial passage was damaged, Shen Changqing had other ways to enter the Tianhong Universe.   This jade talisman was made by Shen Changqing based on Yue Zhi’s memories.   The Daoist power within the jade talisman resonated with the spatial passage of the Tianhong Universe, allowing him to locate that spatial passage.   Similarly,   if the spatial passage was damaged and the Great Dao restriction left by Yue Zhi collapsed, then this jade talisman would also shatter accordingly.   Without a doubt, Shen Changqing knew   that the person who destroyed the spatial passage was none other than the Great Celestial Venerable Gu Hong.   After all, the Great Dao restriction left by a Celestial Emperor was not something an ordinary cultivator could shake.   In the entire Tianhong Universe, only the Great Celestial Venerable Gu Hong could achieve this.   All powerful beings   possess extremely keen sixth senses.   Now that the myriad universes have mobilized their forces, it’s understandable that the other side might notice something.   It can be said that   all of this was within Shen Changqing’s expectations.   At this moment…   As the dust from the jade talisman dissipated, Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back at the deck of the Void Divine Ship. He gazed at the vast, chaotic void ahead, where a universe was already faintly visible.   ”Soon!”   ”At most another month, and I can truly step into the Tianhong Universe!”   Shen Changqing thought to himself, his divine sense constantly radiating outwards to monitor the movements of all sides of the chaos.   After all, the Upper Realm’s chaos was fraught with danger, and he couldn’t afford to be careless.
