Terran Guardian - Chapter 3652

Chapter 3630 Sweeping Through the Immortal Realm

Inside the Boundless Palace,

everyone gathered.

Among them was the Overlord Divine Lord.

Since entering the Upper Realm, he had joined the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, serving as an elder of the Pill Peak.

Normally ,

the Overlord Divine Lord spent most of his time in seclusion, cultivating.

This was the first time he had ever participated in a sect council as an elder.

When he saw the Nine Peaks experts appear, the Overlord Divine Lord was deeply shaken.

He realized that

among the many high-ranking members of the sect, his cultivation was almost at the bottom.

The aura emanating from each of them was far stronger than his own.

Moreover,

those at the level of the Nine Peak Masters gave him an unfathomable feeling.

It was clear that the strength of such experts far surpassed his own.

This was the power of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.   At this

moment,

the Overlord Divine Lord truly had a direct understanding.   With the appearance of Shen Changqing, the previously noisy scene instantly quieted down.   ”Greetings, Sect Master!”   ”No need for formalities, everyone.”   Shen Changqing waved his hand, then his gaze swept over everyone.   Thirty thousand years had passed.   The changes in the Xuan Tian Dao Sect hadn’t been too significant.   At least the strength of the higher-ups of the Nine Peaks had basically remained at a consistent level.   This was normal.   After reaching the Ancient Immortal level, each breakthrough wasn’t something that could be achieved in tens of thousands of years.   The higher the cultivation level, the greater the difficulty of breaking through.   Let alone tens of thousands of years, even hundreds of thousands or millions of years, it was still a problem to break through even a small realm.   Even powerful figures like Chu Junhe, who were at the peak of the Ancient Immortal realm and possessed acquired bloodlines, were only one step away from the Immortal Emperor realm, but they still hadn’t been able to achieve a breakthrough.   Currently,   the Xuan Tian Dao Sect still only had a few Immortal Emperors.   In fact,   let alone Chu Junhe   , even Ji Yang and others who possessed innate immortal bodies had still found it difficult to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.   It was clear that at this level, breaking through wasn’t something that could be done in tens of thousands of years.   ”I won’t say anything more. I believe you’ve all heard what Daoist Kaiyang of the Taiyi Holy Land said not long ago. In my   opinion, this matter is likely not just the concern of the Taiyi Holy Land, but perhaps a joint decision of the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands. Once   this news comes out, no force in the 1,800 Immortal Domains of Shenfeng Prefecture can refuse.   Although our Xuantian Dao Sect is not what it used to be, there is still an insurmountable gap compared to such a supreme power.   Therefore, the sect cannot remain uninvolved in this matter of clearing out the evil beasts and quelling the evil disaster!”   Shen Changqing’s words left everyone silent.   They understood what he meant.   Even if they had never heard of the Taiyi Holy Land before, after learning about it, they could understand what kind of power it was.   Ancient lineage!   More than one Saint or higher-level expert was in charge.   Such a power was naturally beyond the current Xuantian Dao Sect’s ability to contend with.   After speaking ,   Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, and space trembled, with many illusory figures of Immortal Domains appearing out of thin air.   ”The five Immortal Realms adjacent to the Divine Heaven Realm and the Thousand Demon Realm have all completely fallen, teeming with malevolent beasts. Our sect’s next task is to eradicate this malevolent calamity in the five Immortal Realms…”   Shen   Changqing began, marking the locations of the five Immortal Realms on the numerous illusory images of the Immortal Realms.   He then looked at Yang Daoxu and the others.   The five Immortal Realms   required a five-pronged attack,   each led by at least an Immortal Emperor.   Even without an Immortal Emperor, they needed Immortal Emperor-level combat power.   However,   even excluding Shen Changqing, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect currently possessed no fewer than five Immortal Emperor-level experts.   If Immortal Emperor-level combat power was included, the number would be even greater.   Therefore, dealing with the malevolent calamity in the five Immortal Realms would be relatively easy.   Shen Changqing quickly arranged for the cultivators of the Nine Peaks to deal with the malevolent calamities in the five Immortal Realms separately.   ”Furthermore—”   ”Elder Duan will be in charge of overseeing the army. In the event of any unforeseen circumstances in the Five Immortal Realms, Elder Duan will be responsible for suppressing them.”   Finally, Shen Changqing looked down at Duan Changsheng.   This half-saint level immortal demon god, he naturally wouldn’t let him rest.   Duan Changsheng clasped his hands in acceptance: “I will obey the sect master’s orders!”   The cultivators of the Nine Peaks felt a sense of relief upon seeing this.   With   a half-saint level immortal in charge, everything was naturally foolproof.   They had some understanding of the demonic calamities in the various immortal realms; although their strength was considerable, that was all.   The worst-case scenario   was the existence of demonic beasts at the Immortal Emperor level.   Even   the existence of demonic beasts at the Immortal Emperor level was questionable.   The weakness of the mid-level immortal realms also had its advantages; even if one immortal realm fell, the strength of the demonic beasts within wouldn’t be too great.   Unlike those top-tier immortal realms or even supreme immortal realms, if they fell, no one knew how many powerful demonic beasts were hidden within.   …   One month later.   The nine peaks’ strongest warriors were all dispatched, heading straight for the five great immortal realms.   At the same time,   other immortal realm forces belonging to the Xuantian Dao Sect also mobilized their own troops to cooperate with the sect.   Shen Changqing, however, went alone to the other immortal realms.   For him,   quelling the calamity wasn’t entirely in vain.   The calamity in the five immortal realms was, in essence, a training ground provided by Shen Changqing for the disciples of the Xuantian Dao Sect.   After all, without experiencing battle and fighting, merely engaging in secluded cultivation wouldn’t lead to the final victory.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing readily accepted the decree from the Taiyi Holy Land, allowing the cultivators of the Nine Peaks to hone their skills against the monsters of the Five Immortal Realms, thus testing their strength.

As for himself, he would sweep through the monsters of the other Immortal Realms. In Shen Changqing’s eyes,

every monster

was a walking essence.

Although killing cultivators could also yield essence, everyone had their own bottom line, and he naturally couldn’t indiscriminately slaughter living beings for mere essence; that wouldn’t align with his own path.

But monsters were different.

Slaying such monsters held no psychological burden for Shen Changqing.

At the same time

, he could use the monsters’ blood to refine the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram, achieving two goals at once.

Under such circumstances, why wouldn’t Shen Changqing be happy to do so?

“Boom!”

Within one Immortal Realm, Shen Changqing’s divine sense swept across all directions, taking in every inch of the landscape.

Under the coverage of his divine sense, he only saw wandering monsters.

Apart from that…

There were no other living beings.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, and the Immortal Annihilation Array Diagram appeared out of thin air, with twelve Immortal Annihilation Swords descending from the sky.

A world-destroying killing array suddenly took shape, covering an area of hundreds of millions of miles.

“Annihilate!”

Shen Changqing activated the array, unleashing terrifying killing sword energy that relentlessly annihilated the numerous demonic beasts within its range.

These demonic beasts were not strong, their upper limit being only at the half-step Immortal Emperor level, and there were only two or three of them; the rest were mostly Ancient Immortals.

Such demonic beasts were no different from ants before the Immortal Annihilation Sword Array.

In less than a moment, all the demonic beasts within the array were wiped out.

With a single step,

Shen Changqing arrived on the other side of the Immortal Realm.

The moment he appeared, the numerous demonic beasts seemed to sense something and rushed towards Shen Changqing’s location.

“Mere ants!”

The latter said indifferently, unleashing a punch that instantly collapsed and shattered space. The terrifying power pulverized everything within a million miles.

Countless demonic beasts perished on the spot in that instant.

Immediately afterward,

Shen Changqing once again summoned the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, annihilating all the demonic beasts.

The territory of the mid-level Immortal Domain was vast.

Even with the assistance of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, it took Shen Changqing most of a day to wipe out all the demonic beasts in one Immortal Domain.

After the demonic beasts in one Immortal Domain were wiped out, Shen Changqing glanced at the Seven Profound Divine Tower.

“Three and a half points of Saint Essence, not bad!”   He was quite satisfied

with this result.   Three and a half points of Saint Essence, if considered at the initial stage of Ancient Immortal, would require slaying 30,000 demonic beasts.   If considered at the initial stage of Immortal King, it would require 3 million demonic beasts.   Although there weren’t many Ancient Immortal demonic beasts in this Immortal Domain, even the number of Immortal King demonic beasts wasn’t as exaggerated as 3 million.   However, the sheer number of other demonic beasts was overwhelming.   With such small accumulations, it wasn’t surprising that he could gather a bit of semi-saint essence.   ”Three and a half points of saintly essence are enough to give birth to three innate demon gods. This deal isn’t bad.   If I continue sweeping, giving birth to another immortal demon god shouldn’t be a problem!”   Shen Changqing thought to himself.   Then,   he looked towards another direction in the void.   That was   where the high-level immortal realm was located.   If the demonic beasts of the mid-level immortal realm could provide a considerable amount of essence, then the demonic beasts of the high-level immortal realm would undoubtedly provide even more.   However,   Shen Changqing had no intention of entering the high-level immortal realm.   The more powerful the immortal realm, the more unfathomable its foundation.   Although his current strength was already comparable to a semi-saint, and he could even suppress some newly promoted semi-saints   , he was still no match for some top-tier beings.   At this time,   Shen Changqing naturally wanted to play it safe.   In fact…   If it weren’t for the combined efforts of the Taiyi Holy Land and other forces to hunt down the six-armed demon and slay a large number of top-tier demon beasts,   Shen Changqing wouldn’t have wanted to get too involved in demon calamities in high-level immortal realms, or even other mid-level immortal realms.   While opportunities often come with risks, it depends on the type of opportunity.   Simply harvesting essence to create a primordial demon god or an immortal demon god isn’t worth the risk in Shen Changqing’s view.   Even if an immortal demon god is strong enough to rival a half-saint, that’s relative.   At his level, frankly, a newly promoted half-saint isn’t that attractive.   If such an immortal demon god could reach the saint level, then a more aggressive approach would be acceptable in Shen Changqing’s opinion.   But for a mere first-stage half-saint, a steady and cautious approach is better.
