Terran Guardian - Chapter 3666

Chapter 3644 A Head Comparable to Ancient Stars

Shen Changqing knew that the Taiyi Holy Land and other forces would eventually take action against the Huangliang Divine Sect.

However, he hadn’t expected

them to act so quickly.

Not long after returning from the Eastern Abyss Region, Shen Changqing learned from the Xingdao Alliance that the Great Sage of Nanhua of the Divine Sun Immortal Court had personally killed a hall master of the Huangliang Divine Sect.

Such swift action and

decisive methods

were enough to show that

Mingxin’s words were not a joke.

The Huangliang Divine Sect’s collusion with the Demon Beast Clan had truly crossed the bottom line of all forces.

“But this is good too. I can see just how much strength this dark sect really possesses!”

Shen Changqing picked up his immortal tea, sipped it slowly, and smiled faintly.

So far,

Shen Changqing had only truly come into contact with two dark sects:

the Changsheng Divine Sect and

the Huangliang Divine Sect.

Of the two sects, Shen Changqing knew more about the Changsheng Divine Sect, especially after sending Qingtian to infiltrate its ranks, which had given him considerable information.

If it weren’t for Qing Tian’s betrayal, given his current status within the Eternal Life Sect, he would undoubtedly have been able to provide far more information.

As for the Yellow Millet Sect,

Shen Changqing only had a

vague understanding. Although he learned of its existence from Ming Xin, he honestly didn’t know how many powerful figures it possessed.

However, one thing

Shen Changqing was certain of:

if the Yellow Millet Sect learned of his killing of Bai Lan, they would not let it go unpunished. The fact that

various forces were now attacking the Yellow Millet Sect was, in Shen Changqing’s view, a good thing.

Afterward,

Shen Changqing introspectively examined his own sea of consciousness.

He saw that the Heavenly Dao merit there had become somewhat denser, but it was still far from the level required to truly condense the first round of the Golden Wheel of Merit.

“Once the Nine Golden Wheels of Merit are complete, one can condense the Golden Body of Merit. Even the first Golden Wheel of Merit is so difficult; this path is long and arduous.

It’s a pity that the calamities in Shenfeng Prefecture are almost completely suppressed now; it’s not easy to repeat the previous methods.”

Shen Changqing shook his head inwardly.

To be precise,

some calamities and disturbances in the Immortal Realms of Shenfeng Prefecture haven’t been truly suppressed.

But without exception, those calamities and disturbances in the Immortal Realms are all quite troublesome.

After all, with the actions of various forces, any calamities that were easy to deal with have already been suppressed.

The remaining calamities that haven’t been suppressed all have one thing in common—they are difficult to deal with!

If they weren’t difficult to deal with,

how could these calamities in the Immortal Realms have survived until now?

Shen Changqing understands his current situation. If he doesn’t use the backup plan left by Jiu Ye, his strength is at most around the Second Tribulation Half-Saint.

If he uses a Primordial Emperor Weapon, his strength might be able to contend with a Third Tribulation Half-Saint.

However, facing a Longevity Half-Saint of the Fourth Tribulation or higher, without using the Soul-Destroying Sword, Shen Changqing had no choice but to turn and leave.

This

was the limit of an Immortal Emperor.

Before breaking through the shackles of the Immortal Emperor realm and truly stepping into the Half-Saint realm, it was not entirely impossible for him to improve his strength on this basis, but it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Unless,

Shen Changqing could achieve physical sainthood.

But—

physical sainthood was easier said than done.

For most cultivators, the difficulty of physical sainthood was even greater than stepping into the Half-Saint realm.

…

In the following time,

Shen Changqing, as usual, silently studied the Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Array, striving to master this top-tier seventh-order array as soon as possible.

At the same time

, Shen Changqing also instructed the cultivators of the Xingdao Alliance to keep a close watch on the Huangliang Divine Sect.

Then,

there was the Chaotic Void.

Thirty innate demon gods had entered the Chaotic Void tens of thousands of years ago, but so far, not much news had come.

However…

Three hundred years after Shen Changqing’s seclusion, the Heavenly Soul Curse suddenly shattered.

Looking at the broken curse, he immediately understood that the fallen being was a Primordial Demon God from the Chaos.

“A Primordial Demon God has fallen!”

Shen Changqing frowned slightly.

Although the power of a Primordial Demon God was currently limited, the amount of Immortal Emperor’s essence required to create one was considerable.

The fall of one was a significant loss for Shen Changqing.

As he looked at the shattered Heavenly Soul Curse, a scene appeared. He

saw a Primordial Demon God walking in a desolate starry sky.

But then

, from the depths of that starry sky, a giant hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the Primordial Demon God. The latter didn’t even have the chance to resist before being crushed to death.

Almost instantly, all the Demon God’s flesh and blood transformed into a blood pill, which ultimately disappeared into the starry sky.

As Shen Changqing tried to see the scene deep within the starry sky, a vast expanse of Daoist energy formed clouds that obscured the view, making it difficult to discern the scene within.

Above these clouds, an ancient star rested quietly.

But the next instant,

Shen Changqing saw the ancient star move, seemingly changing direction.

When he finally saw the ancient star clearly, Shen Changqing’s mind trembled violently.

The so-called ancient star was actually a head, its features clearly visible. Its eyes were like the sun and moon, its pupils filled with indifference.

The moment their eyes met ,

a terrifying pressure seemed to pierce through the endless void.

In that instant,

all the images shattered.

“Boom—”

Shen Changqing instinctively closed his eyes, his consciousness feeling as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, trembling violently.

After a long while,

he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes bloodshot, and tears of blood streaming down his face.

“Ancient God Clan!”

Shen Changqing uttered these four words with a solemn expression.

Despite the terrifying aura of that being, he still recognized its origin.

Unsurprisingly,

it was an Ancient God Clan member.

Shen Changqing was no stranger to the Ancient God Clan.

He had once slain an Ancient God Clan member at the Immortal Emperor realm.

However, that Ancient God Clan member was completely different from the one he had just seen.

Its head alone was comparable to an ancient star; its true size was unimaginable.

Although

a larger body doesn’t necessarily equate to greater strength   , someone of such immense size was definitely not simple.   Moreover,

in   that brief exchange of glances, Shen Changqing felt an extremely terrifying pressure.   This pressure was perhaps only comparable to when he faced the great monster of the Purple Sun Domain.   In other words,   that Innate God Clan member’s strength was at least at the Supreme level, and might even have reached the Dao Venerable level.   Thinking of this…   Shen Changqing took another deep breath: “A Primordial God, possibly even at the Supreme or Dao Venerable level—just how many ancient beings still live in the Chaos!   If one encounters such a being, let alone an Immortal Emperor, even a Half-Saint or Saint would likely find it difficult to escape!”   At this point,   Shen Changqing had no doubt about the fall of that Primordial Demon God.   How could a mere Immortal Emperor possibly survive encountering such a being?   However,   Shen Changqing also understood   that beings of this level were extremely rare throughout the entire Chaos.   This Primordial Demon God’s encounter was simply bad luck.   But this incident also served as a wake-up call for Shen Changqing.   He realized that with his current strength, he didn’t have the right to roam freely in the Chaos. His attack on the Tianhong Universe last time was due to good fortune.   If he were to encounter a Primordial God of this level, like this Primordial Demon God, the fate of all the heavens would undoubtedly be total annihilation.   Even with the Seven Profound Divine Towers, Shen Changqing wasn’t certain if such a treasure could withstand a powerhouse of this level.   Now,   Shen Changqing felt incredibly wise about his decision to comprehend the Tai Xu Yin Yi Formation and then set up this interdimensional formation.   Using a formation to traverse between realms reduced the risks of crossing the void.   After all, no one knows when their luck might run out and they might stumble into the hands of such an existence.   If that happened, it would be too late for regrets.   ”However—”   ”Even with an interdimensional formation, it’s not necessarily absolutely safe. The barriers of the lower realm universes are like paper in front of such beings.   If such beings were to make a move, destroying a lower realm universe would be an easy task.   Even a third-tier universe, capable of withstanding the power of a Three Tribulations Half-Saint, would be insignificant to such beings!”   Shen Changqing shook his head.   In the end, all of this boils down to one issue   : strength!   Insufficient strength   is the root of everything.   If one possesses sufficient strength, even methods comparable to the Nine Leaves, then why should one fear a Primordial God?   But at that moment,   Shen Changqing sensed a danger, as if an unparalleled being was attempting to deduce his existence.   A moment later, this feeling receded like a tide.   ”It’s that Primordial God again!”   Shen Changqing’s expression turned solemn.   Even without any evidence, his sixth sense told him that the being who had just deduced his existence was undoubtedly that Primordial God.   It was clear that his attempt to probe with the power of the Heavenly Soul Curse had been detected.   The latter, following the residual power of the Heavenly Soul Curse, tried to deduce his existence in reverse.   However,   with the Seven Profound Divine Tower concealing the secrets of heaven,   this Primordial God ultimately failed.   This scene   made Shen Changqing understand even more the importance of the Seven Profound Divine Tower.   Leaving   aside other matters, the importance of the Seven Profound Divine Tower, with its ability to conceal the secrets of heaven, was self-evident.   Suppressing his shock, Shen Changqing quickly retreated into seclusion to further his cultivation.   …   On the other side.   In a vast starry sea, an incomparably majestic figure appeared. The laws of the Great Dao swirled around him, and his eyes, comparable to the sun and moon, seemed to hold the flowing river of time.   After a long while,   this being’s brows furrowed slightly, and a change in expression finally appeared on his face, which was as deep as an ancient pool.   ”The secrets of heaven are obscured… interesting…” (End of Chapter)
