Terran Guardian - Chapter 3646

Chapter 3624 Interdimensional Passage

Ziyang Domain.

Within an ancient immortal mountain, numerous palaces stand, shrouded in immortal energy, where cranes and auspicious beasts gallop, a truly celestial scene.

This

is the location of the Taiyi Holy Land.

Since the fall of the Shenyang Domain, the Taiyi Holy Land, fearing the power of the calamity, has moved its entire strength into the Ziyang Domain.

At this moment,

within the Holy Land’s Immortal Palace,

a Daoist sits cross-legged, his body resting on a lotus platform formed from supreme Daoist energy. His long hair falls naturally, seemingly shrouded in immortal light, and his eyes, opening and closing naturally, shimmer with a clear jade-colored light.

“Reporting to the Ancestor, the number of calamities attacking the Ziyang Domain has been increasing recently, but for now, there’s nothing seriously wrong.

Furthermore, that six-armed great calamity is leading its followers to attack other immortal domains, seemingly collecting the essence of many living beings. We don’t know what its intentions are!”

The speaker is none other than Venerable Jinque, the current master of the Taiyi Holy Land.

As the current Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land, his cultivation had reached the Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint realm.

However, at this moment, Venerable Jinque was respectful and extremely humble towards the Daoist before him.

This was because the other party was the oldest ancestor of the Taiyi Holy Land, named Daoist Kaiyang.

He had existed for countless years and had rarely appeared before saints.

With the outbreak of this great calamity, the fall of the Divine Sun Domain, and the loss of a Great Saint in the Taiyi Holy Land, the Holy Land was thrown into turmoil.

Ultimately,

Venerable Jinque had no choice but to step forward and invite Daoist Kaiyang to emerge from seclusion and take charge of the situation.

“The Purple Sun Domain isn’t in much trouble. If I’m not mistaken, this Immortal Domain is under the

control of a supreme being who uses the power of their own Great Dao to create rules for suppression. To achieve this, one must be at least a Chaos Ruler.

The power of rules left behind by such a powerful being is far beyond the reach of ordinary beasts.

Even that six-armed monster, as long as the rules here don’t dissipate, will find it difficult to truly enter the Purple Sun Domain!”

Daoist Kaiyang spoke calmly, but a strange fluctuation appeared on his usually indifferent face when he mentioned the words “Chaos Ruler.”

A Chaos Ruler!

It’s hard to imagine that such a being could appear in this era.

As a powerful being with one foot in the Dao Venerable realm, Daoist Kaiyang naturally understood the terror of a Chaos Ruler.

Before that level, even a Dao Venerable is insignificant.

If such a being were willing to take action, then the six-armed monster that originally existed in the Divine Sun Domain would find it difficult to truly cause trouble.

“As for that great demon, it is currently collecting the essence and blood of all living beings… This matter may open a passage to another realm, allowing more great demons to descend upon the world!”

Kaiyang Daojun’s words caused the other cultivators’ expressions to change. A

passage to another realm?

Other great demons!

The current six-armed great demon is already overwhelming the entire Divine Wind Continent; if there were a few more, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However,

one of the half-saints couldn’t help but ask, “The other realm the Ancestor spoke of, could it be the place where such great demons reside?”

“That’s right. It is said that the first great demon appeared from another realm, but I don’t know the specifics.

When you all truly reach a higher level, you will have the right to understand the affairs of the other realm.

However, if another passage to another realm opens, attracting other great demons to descend upon the world, it will undoubtedly be an unbearable blow to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Now, the only way to solve this problem once and for all is to find a way to suppress this great demon—”

Kaiyang Daojun paused here, then looked at Jinque Venerable.

“Next, spread the news that the great demon intends to open a passage to another realm, and at the same time contact other forces, explaining the stance of our Taiyi Holy Land.

Things have come to this point; this matter is no longer as simple as just a matter for our Taiyi Holy Land or Shenfeng Prefecture.

If not handled properly, it will surely bring disaster to the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

If it really comes to that, I believe they wouldn’t want to see it!”

“Disciple obeys!”

Venerable Jinque took a deep breath and bowed to accept the order.

Daoist Kaiyang looked at the void outside, his eyes deep and profound.

“Another realm—”

he murmured to himself, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

…

Seven Profound Divine Tower.

Inside the first level of space.

Shen Changqing had now abandoned all external matters, focusing all his attention on comprehending the Taixu Yin-Yang Formation.

However, such a formation was unfathomably profound; truly comprehending all its mysteries was not so easy.

Time passed little by little.

… One

hundred thousand years!

Two hundred thousand years!

Five hundred thousand years!

One million years!

…

Three million years later, Shen Changqing’s long-sitting body finally moved. His tightly closed eyes opened, and with a wave of his hand, he used his divine sense as a brush to sketch the initial form of an array in the void before him.   In

less than a moment, the initial form evolved into a complete array.

The moment the array took shape, the space before him rippled slightly. If one observed carefully, one could vaguely see a heavenly path behind the space, leading to an unknown destination.   Then, Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, and all the array’s Dao patterns dissipated.   ”The Tai Xu Liang Yi Array, today I have finally truly comprehended it!”   A smile appeared on his face.   At this moment,   this top-tier seventh-order array was finally under his control.   With the comprehension of the Tai Xu Liang Yi Array, Shen Changqing’s array cultivation naturally entered the ranks of a peak seventh-order Grandmaster.   However, compared to other established top seventh-order Grandmasters, Shen Changqing’s current foundation was still far inferior.   After all, up until now…   He only truly mastered the Tai Xu Yin Yang Formation.   Many veteran seventh-tier grandmasters possess far more than just a top-tier seventh-tier formation.   However,   Shen Changqing wasn’t in a hurry.   He had already taken the most crucial step, and the rest would become much easier.

With the Tai Xu Yin Yi Formation as a foundation, the difficulty of comprehending other top-tier seventh-order formations will naturally decrease dramatically.

Next,

it’s simply a matter of accumulating foundational knowledge.

“Twelve Capital Heavenly Annihilation Immortal Formation!”

“Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Formation—”

Memories of these two formations surfaced in Shen Changqing’s mind. With his accumulated knowledge after three million years of enlightenment, many previously obscure and difficult aspects of these formations were now clear.

If he truly wanted to comprehend them thoroughly, Shen Changqing believed that the time required to comprehend these two formations would definitely not be as long as the Tai Xu Yin Yi Formation, which required a full three million years.

At the same time,

Shen Changqing also understood the immense advantage he possessed with the Seven Profound Divine Tower in the art of formations.

As long as he had enough immortal stones, he could continuously use the Seven Profound Divine Tower to deduce top-tier formations.

Each top-tier formation, when placed in the outside world, could be considered a powerful formation-based inheritance.

Shen Changqing didn’t know how those forces with longevity foundations fared.

However, as for other Immortal Emperor forces, Shen Changqing believed that there were very few that could truly master top-tier seventh-order formations.

Even the once-powerful Heavenly Demon Holy Land, claiming to have inherited its lineage from ancient times, lacked such a foundation in formations.

Even the many forces Shen Changqing had previously destroyed met the same fate.

This shows that

top-tier seventh-order formations were already rare for ordinary Immortal Emperor forces.

But for Shen Changqing, as long as he had enough immortal stones, he could acquire as many top-tier seventh-order formations as he wanted.

Even eighth-order formations were the same.

Therefore ,

if he devoted all his time to comprehending the Dao of Formations, Shen Changqing was absolutely confident that one day he could become a top-tier Grandmaster of Formations in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

However, this thought only lingered in his mind for a moment before he dismissed it.

Reaching that point was uncertain, as he didn’t know when he would be able to.

With all distracting thoughts gone, Shen Changqing stepped out of the Seven Profound Divine Tower. When he reappeared, he was already inside the Nourishing Heart Residence.

Three million years had passed in the first level of space.

In the outside world, only 30,000 years had passed.

“A hundred times the speed of time flow certainly has a tremendous advantage, but I wonder, after breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, when facing the Five Signs of Decay, will time be calculated in terms of the outside world’s timeline or the Seven Profound Divine Tower’s timeline…”

A thought suddenly flashed through Shen Changqing’s mind, causing him to fall into deep thought.

Half-Saint cultivators

undergo the Five Signs of Decay every hundred billion years.

This Five Signs of Decay cannot be brought forward; it can only be postponed.

If

the time of the Five Signs of Decay is calculated in terms of the outside world’s timeline, then it’s equivalent to other Half-Saints having only 3.6 billion years to accumulate experience, while he would have a hundred times more time to prepare.

If this were the case, then his passage through the Five Signs of Decay would be guaranteed without fail.

Similarly,

if calculated in terms of actual time,

then a hundred times the speed of time flow means Shen Changqing would be able to undergo the Five Signs of Decay in 36 million years, equivalent to the outside world.

While other Half-Saints haven’t even had time to undergo their first Five Signs of Decay, he will have already stepped into the Ninth Tribulation realm.

However…

This also has a prerequisite:

one’s own foundation must be sufficient to safely overcome the nine cycles of the Five Signs of Decay.

“But strictly speaking, from any perspective, there’s actually no downside.

In terms of external time, I have a hundred times more time to accumulate than other half-saints. In terms of actual time, I can enter the Nine Tribulations Realm much faster.

As for the Five Signs of Decay, although terrifying, with my foundation, I might not be unable to overcome them.

To put it another way, if it really doesn’t work, Danfeng also has a forbidden area of the Immortal Palace that can avoid the Five Signs of Decay—”

Shen Changqing looked towards Danfeng, his eyes subtle.

The Immortal Palace where Jiuye went into seclusion back then has now become a forbidden area, so it is not afraid of the Five Signs of Decay.

Therefore,

currently,

no matter which possibility it is, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Shen Changqing.

If there is any problem, then the biggest problem is the immortal stones.

Judging from the situation of the Seven Profound Divine Tower, Shen Changqing is very clear that once he breaks through to the half-saint realm, the immortal stones required for the first layer of space must be at least of the highest grade.

However, top-grade immortal stones are extremely rare.

This means that

after breaking through to the semi-saint realm, utilizing the time flow of the first layer of space will become significantly more costly.

Maintaining this speed indefinitely won’t be easy.
