Terran Guardian - Chapter 3653

Chapter 3631 We are quite destined to meet.

Two hundred mid-tier immortal domains.

The majority had fallen.

For Shen Changqing, this represented a vast amount of his essence.

He stepped into each mid-tier immortal domain, slaughtering everything with the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. All the evil beasts perished; not a single one survived.

Most of these evil beasts were not very strong, but a few immortal domains contained evil beasts at the Immortal Emperor level.

Even more remarkably

, in one mid-tier immortal domain, there was a evil beast comparable to a Fourth Tribulation Half-Saint lurking.

Therefore

, Shen Changqing had to use the power of the Soul-Slaying Sword to finally slay this evil beast.

This scene made Shen Changqing realize that his earlier cautious decision was correct.

Even now, with Half-Saint level evil beasts lurking in mid-tier immortal domains, the danger of such immortal domains during the peak of the evil calamity was unimaginable.

After slaying this Fourth Tribulation Half-Saint evil beast, Shen Changqing’s essence increased significantly.

“A demonic beast at the fourth tribulation half-saint level is roughly equivalent to slaughtering all the demonic beasts in an entire immortal realm. This is quite an unexpected bonus.

However, it’s only because it encountered me that it survived. If other cultivators had encountered it, they probably wouldn’t have survived!”

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, then stopped thinking about it and took a step forward, his figure instantly disappearing from the spot.

He didn’t linger in this immortal realm but continued to the next one.

Now that news of the Taiyi Holy Land had spread, many forces would likely obey its orders. At this time, if he was slow to act, the demonic beasts in other immortal realms might have been suppressed.

For Shen Changqing, this meant losing the essence of an immortal realm.

However,

as Shen Changqing traveled to more and more immortal realms, he discovered that not every fallen immortal realm had all its cultivators perished.

There were still a few immortal realms with survivors.

These cultivators relied on formations or restrictions for protection to avoid the power of the demonic calamity and remain unaffected.

But as time went on, the power of these formations and restrictions gradually weakened.

As expected…

Ultimately, these cultivators were destined to be surrounded and die.

Now that Shen Changqing had dealt with these demonic beasts of the Immortal Realm, it offered them a glimmer of hope.

“To obliterate an Immortal Emperor-level demonic beast with a single strike—who is this person?!”

A sect cultivator hiding in a forbidden zone witnessed this scene with utter shock. An Immortal

Emperor-level demonic beast!

For them, it was an insurmountable force.

To this day,

all the surviving cultivators of this sect remembered that it was this very beast that had ravaged the sect, slaughtering indiscriminately, ultimately leaving only a few hundred survivors.

Not only that, but those who had managed to escape were forced to risk hiding in a forbidden zone to survive.

Although the forbidden zone was incredibly dangerous, compared to the demonic calamity, its danger seemed within acceptable limits.

Yet even so—

hundreds of fellow disciples perished one after another in the forbidden zone in various bizarre ways.

This forbidden zone seemed to contain some terrible curse, secretly choosing its victims.   The remaining cultivators of this sect were filled with despair.

Going   out meant death,   staying here meant death too.   But now it was different. A mysterious powerful figure had intervened, directly slaying the Immortal Emperor-level beast. This meant they might have a chance to leave this forbidden zone.   ”Wait… this person looks familiar… in blue… this is Sect Master Shen Changqing of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect!!!”   a Daoist exclaimed. The other cultivators of the sect were startled.   Xuan Tian Dao Sect!   Shen Changqing!   How could they not recognize this name?   One cultivator couldn’t help but ask, “Is what the Abbot said true?”   ”Of course!”   the Daoist replied excitedly.   At the same time   , as the Daoist spoke, Shen Changqing seemed to sense something and looked towards the direction of the forbidden zone.   Then,   he raised an eyebrow and stepped into the forbidden zone.   ”Yunxiaozi… it seems we have quite a connection!”   Shen Changqing looked at the Daoist before him, a half-smile on his face.   Yun Xiaozi, the abbot of Yuxiao Temple in the Northern Star Domain.   He hadn’t expected to encounter him here.   After all, the temple had been completely destroyed during the last calamity, and Shen Changqing assumed it had perished in the disaster. But   unexpectedly, he saw Yun Xiaozi in a forbidden zone of life within a mid-level immortal domain.   As he spoke,   Shen Changqing also looked at the other cultivators.   They were all wearing Yuxiao Temple robes, indicating they were all cultivators from the temple.   However, each of them possessed a weakened aura, and a strange curse-like power clung to them like a bone-deep infection.   If this curse-like power continued, it wouldn’t be long before these cultivators met their demise.   At this moment…   Yunxiaozi was also visibly excited: “This junior never expected to meet Sect Master Shen here!”   At this point, his expression darkened, and he said with a bitter smile, “Last time the calamity broke out, the Northern Star Domain was in a state of disarray. My Yuxiao Temple was fortunate enough to preserve its strength and evacuate.   Later, as the calamity evolved, we temporarily settled in this Immortal Domain.   But unexpectedly, another calamity has broken out, followed by the descent of Immortal Emperor-level demonic beasts. We had nowhere to retreat, and in the end, Yuxiao Temple was trampled by the demonic beasts, leaving only a few of us to hide in the forbidden zone of life, barely clinging to life.”   ”But this forbidden zone of life is also a den of demons that devour people without spitting out bones, with strange powers omnipresent.   We have hidden in this forbidden zone of life for many years. Originally there were hundreds of us, but now there are less than a hundred left.   If this continues, the lineage of my Yuxiao Temple will be completely severed here!”   Yunxiaozi’s face was filled with sorrow; a powerful Immortal Emperor, he now seemed to be at the end of his rope.   The other cultivators of Yuxiao Temple, upon hearing this, were equally disheartened.   They thought back to the past.

Yuxiao Temple was a top power in the Northern Star Domain, dominating the region. At its peak, it boasted over a million disciples, and few forces could threaten it.

Now, however,

the once mighty Yuxiao Temple has less than a hundred members left.

This calamity has severely damaged its vitality.

Shen Changqing shook his head: “The outbreak of the Calamity of Evil Spirits was unexpected by everyone. It’s already good that Yuxiao Temple has managed to preserve its lineage.

Currently, all the evil beasts in this Immortal Realm have been wiped out by me.

Abbot Yun can lead his people away from this forbidden zone of life, find a blessed land, and rebuild Yuxiao Temple to continue the lineage of his predecessors.”

“Wiped out the evil beasts… Abbot Shen, are you serious?!” Yun

Xiaozi blurted out, but he quickly realized his mistake and hurriedly said,

“This junior did not mean to question you, senior. It’s just that this news is too shocking. I hope you won’t take offense!”

For a powerhouse of this level, Yun Xiaozi adopted an extremely humble attitude, naturally afraid of saying the wrong thing and offending the other party.

Shen Changqing, of course, paid no heed to such matters.

With a flick of his finger, a surge of immense immortal power descended upon the group.

At that moment,

everyone seemed to hear a piercing wail, a sudden sound emanating from their ears, followed by a feeling of release, as if something had detached from their bodies.

“Thank you, Senior, for dispelling the curse of the forbidden zone!”

Yun Xiaozhi, of course, understood the situation perfectly.

The most terrifying aspect of the forbidden zone was not only the strange beings and the remnants of the Great Dao’s rules, but also the omnipresent power of the curse.

This curse was so subtle and insidious that it was impossible to defend against.

Even though Yun Xiaozhi knew of its existence, he had no way to eliminate it.

Then,

as if making a decision, Yun Xiaozhi bowed deeply to Shen Changqing.

“Our Jade Cloud Temple suffered a great calamity, and it was thanks to your intervention, Senior, that our lineage was able to continue. We are deeply grateful.

If you don’t mind, Senior, Jade Cloud Temple is willing to serve you!”

“We are willing to serve you, Senior!”

The other cultivators of Jade Cloud Temple were stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, bowing and saying in unison.

How could they not have heard of Shen Changqing’s reputation?

A being who, as a Celestial Emperor, defied the odds to defeat a Half-Saint.

Such a powerful figure, barring unforeseen circumstances, was destined to achieve immortality in the future.

To be able to cling to such a being was undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity.

This was a rare chance for themselves, and indeed for the entire Jade Cloud Temple.

Therefore,

they naturally understood their sect leader’s intentions.

Looking at the group before him, Shen Changqing did not refuse: “Since you all have this idea, then go and take a trip to the Divine Heaven Domain.

But now there are many forces in the Divine Heaven Domain, whether you can gain a foothold there depends on your own strength!”

He did not arrange too much for Yuxiao Temple. If they could not even establish a sect in the Divine Heaven Domain, then it would be meaningless.

Of course

, in Shen Changqing’s view, it would not be difficult for Yuxiao Temple to achieve this.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Yuxiao Temple is now severely damaged and most of its experts have perished.

Don’t forget that

Yunxiaozi is not dead.

This is an Immortal Emperor who created the Five Directions Five Immortal Universe, and he is only one step away from stepping into the middle stage of Immortal Emperor. Such strength is not weak in the Divine Heaven Domain.

Moreover,

apart from Yunxiaozi, the remaining cultivators are all Ancient Immortal Realm cultivators.

Such a force should not be underestimated.

However, this is normal.

Even if weaker cultivators were lucky enough to escape the Calamity of Calamity, they would not have survived until now in this forbidden zone of life, facing strange curses.

Any cultivator who can survive in the forbidden zone is destined to be quite powerful.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Yun Xiaozhi’s heart finally settled, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

With this nod of agreement, Yu Xiao Temple had truly secured a powerful backer.

Having suffered several calamities,

Yun Xiaozhi finally understood one thing:

while bowing down to serve others might be somewhat undignified, compared to a sufficiently powerful patron, mere dignity was insignificant.

Like this calamity of evil spirits, if Yu Xiao Temple had had sufficient support, it wouldn’t have ended up in such a state.

Now, having experienced this calamity, Yun Xiaozhi had a profound realization, which is why he so readily bowed in worship. (End of Chapter)
