Terran Guardian - Chapter 3675

Chapter 3653 The Opportunity to Change Fate

The Taiyi Gengjin Immortal Scripture! The Immortal

Slaughtering Sword Scripture!

These are the two inheritances that Shen Changqing passed on to Qingyu.

The former is enough for him to cultivate step by step, theoretically enough to reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor level.

The latter…

well, that goes without saying.

The white crane before him has a unique comprehension of swordsmanship, and before entering the Ancient Immortal Realm, it had already mastered a portion of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Intent.

Shen Changqing also wanted to see how much the other party could comprehend from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Scripture.

If the other party’s talent in swordsmanship was truly as outstanding as expected, then he wouldn’t mind focusing on cultivating it.

Perhaps,

one day,

the Xuantian Dao Sect could also produce an immortal beast with overwhelming combat power.

“Thank you, Master, for bestowing this method!”

The white crane’s divine sense contained excitement, and it even let out a deep crane cry.

Having followed Shen Changqing for many years, and having been accustomed to the Xuantian Dao Sect cultivators lecturing and cultivating, how could it not know the importance of such inheritances?

Before meeting Shen Changqing, Qingyu knew it was just an ordinary crane from the Xuantian Dao Sect.

It might be captured and eaten by other cultivators at any time.

However ,

since meeting this man, who not only guided its cultivation but also frequently bestowed upon it numerous cultivation resources, Qingyu was naturally grateful.

Ceremony beasts are pure of heart; they clearly see who treats them well and who doesn’t.

“Go, cultivate diligently, don’t waste your talent. Also, stop dawdling with Caiyun all day. We cultivators should prioritize cultivation.

Without attaining immortality, everything is empty talk.

Even if you ceremony beasts have long lifespans, there will be an end.

Only by entering the realm of immortality can one be free from the constraints of lifespan!”

Finally, Shen Changqing solemnly addressed the crane.

The white crane let out a low cry in response.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing waved his hand, and the crane spread its wings and flew away.

Then…

With a thought, a blood-red array disc appeared, emanating a powerful killing intent.

Three hundred and sixty thousand years had passed since the destruction of the Yellow Millet Divine Sect.

During this long period, Shen Changqing had remained within the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, silently comprehending the art of array formations.   He had not only thoroughly understood the Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Array, but also the Great Sun Profound Yellow Array and the Twelve Capital Heavenly Extinction Immortal Array.

During   this time,   Shen Changqing also discovered several other top-tier seventh-order array formations.   As he comprehended more and more top-tier seventh-order array formations, his own accumulation at the seventh-order Grandmaster level became increasingly substantial.   This made   comprehending array formations of the same level much easier.   If,   hundreds of thousands of years ago,   Shen Changqing’s accumulation among top-tier seventh-order array Grandmasters was at the bottom,   then now, it was completely different.   Comprehending numerous array formations had allowed him to accumulate a substantial foundation at the seventh-order array Grandmaster level.   Under such circumstances, Shen Changqing wouldn’t dare say he was the most profound among all the seventh-tier Grandmasters of Array Dao in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, but he certainly wasn’t weak.   At least , he was   undoubtedly at the upper-middle level.   Because of this,   Shen Changqing had a certain degree of confidence in comprehending the current Immortal Extinction Sword Array.   Having survived the ninth tribulation, the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram had stepped into a level comparable to a Primordial Emperor Weapon.   The Immortal Extinction Sword Array, born from it, would naturally be able to transcend the category of seventh-tier arrays and advance to the ranks of eighth-tier arrays.   This was the power of a treasure born of heaven and earth.   Ordinary Emperor Immortal artifacts, even after undergoing nine tribulations, would at most see an increase in power.   To achieve such a comprehensive improvement as the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram was almost impossible.   Such a treasure   was created by heaven and earth.   The Immortal Extinction Sword Array was a killing array born from the Heavenly Dao.   Shen Changqing hadn’t comprehended the Immortal Extinction Sword Array before, not because he didn’t want to, but because he hadn’t truly reached that stage yet.   After all, the level of the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation is too high. If one hasn’t accumulated enough knowledge, rashly trying to comprehend it would just be a waste of time.   But now it’s different.   Shen Changqing is confident that his foundation in array formations has reached a profound level.   Comprehending the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation at this time is completely different.   Subsequently,   Shen Changqing stepped into the Seven Profound Divine Tower to continue comprehending this array.   At the same time,   Danfeng Baihe’s breakthrough to the Ancient Immortal Realm has spurred many disciples of the Xuantian Dao Sect.   After all, if a celestial beast has broken through to the Ancient Immortal Realm while they haven’t, it’s somewhat unacceptable.   Especially many true disciples at the Immortal King Realm are now cultivating with all their might, no one wants to admit that they are inferior to a celestial beast.   Anyone who can be a true disciple of a sect will not be lacking in cultivation aptitude.   By the standards of the Xuantian Dao Sect, one must at least have top-tier aptitude among mortals.   Especially in recent years, as the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s foundation has grown increasingly strong, many geniuses with acquired bloodlines have successively joined the sect.   As a result, the value of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s true teachings has naturally increased significantly.   Although acquired bloodlines are not as good as acquired immortal bodies, they are still superior to mortal bloodlines.   In terms of cultivation, they have a tremendous advantage before breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm.   Three years later.   Sword Peak.   A heavenly tribulation was gathering.   In an instant,   Sword Peak trembled.   Qian Hen gazed at the direction where the tribulation clouds appeared, his smile barely concealed.   ”Immortal King realm, excellent! Five hundred thousand years is enough to advance from the first level of the Great Power realm to the Immortal King realm. In less than two million years, my Sword Peak will surely have another Ancient Immortal!”

Ever since Qianhen saw Xiao Ling’s potential during the grand competition, he had focused on nurturing him.

Based solely on Xiao Ling’s swordsmanship talent, Qianhen believed his future was already promising.

Later, when

Xiao Ling cultivated an acquired bloodline, significantly enhancing his aptitude, he would become even more extraordinary.

In fact,

Xiao Ling could have broken through to the Immortal King realm two or three hundred thousand years ago.

Although the difference between a Great Power and the Immortal King realm is significant, for someone with an acquired bloodline, traversing this path in two or three hundred thousand years is not a major problem.

The reason Qianhen didn’t allow Xiao Ling to break through was because he wanted him to solidify his foundation, accumulating a sufficiently powerful foundation.

Only when he could advance no further would he attempt to break through to the Immortal King realm, thus trying to trigger the Ancient Heavenly Tribulation.

If he could overcome the Ancient Heavenly Tribulation, it would be an immense opportunity for any cultivator.

In the past,

Qianhen wouldn’t have wanted Xiao Ling to undergo the Ancient Heavenly Tribulation.

Even though the Immortal King Tribulation is the weakest of the ancient tribulations, it’s still not something ordinary cultivators can handle.

However, after Xiao Ling developed his acquired bloodline, Qianhen’s thoughts changed.

Such bloodline power, if used to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, would be completely insufficient to overcome the Ancient Immortal Tribulation.

Let alone an acquired bloodline, even an acquired immortal body might not be able to overcome the Ancient Immortal Tribulation.

This shows just

how difficult the Ancient Immortal Tribulation is.

Going further up,

the Ancient Immortal Emperor Tribulation is even more out of the question.

Therefore,

among the many ancient tribulations, the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation is the weakest and easiest to overcome.

Similarly,

it’s an opportunity for many cultivators to change their fate.

If they can attract the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation and receive the blessing of Heaven, they have a chance to further improve their aptitude, thus laying the foundation for attracting the Ancient Immortal Tribulation later.

Furthermore—

if one can overcome the Eternal Immortal King Tribulation, there will be an opportunity to travel to the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele in the Divine Sun Domain and compete for a ranking on the Immortal King Stele.

If it were the old Xuan Tian Dao Sect, Qianhen wouldn’t have any interest in the Immortal King Stele.

To put it bluntly, he had never even heard of its existence.

The affairs of such a supreme immortal domain were beyond the understanding of ordinary cultivators.

Moreover,

the risks of traversing an immortal domain were obvious.

But things are different now; the Xuan Tian Dao Sect is no longer what it used to be.

If one truly possesses sufficient talent, then competing for a ranking on the Immortal King Stele is not impossible.

It can be said that

while a cultivator’s talent is innate, there is still a chance to change it later.

The Eternal Immortal King Tribulation!

The Heavenly Dao Divine Stele!

Both offer cultivators opportunities to change their fate.

But those who can truly seize such opportunities are ultimately very few.

As far as Qianhen knows, the only cultivator in the entire Xuan Tian Dao Sect who could overcome the Eternal Immortal King Tribulation with a mortal body and then gradually change his fate is Ye Yun of Danfeng.

Apart from that…

There was no one else.

This shows just how difficult it is for a mortal to change their fate.

But even with such difficulty, there is always a sliver of hope.

Now, compared to Ye Yun in the past, Xiao Ling has an advantage the latter lacked: he had already condensed his acquired bloodline.

Now—

it’s a matter of whether Xiao Ling can attract the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation and overcome this calamity.

After all, the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation doesn’t occur 100% of the time; only when a cultivator accumulates enough power can they have a chance to attract it.

If their accumulation is insufficient, the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation won’t appear.

This is the main reason why Qianhen didn’t let Xiao Ling break through immediately, but instead focused on strengthening his foundation.

Now,

the Immortal King Tribulation continues to fall.

Xiao Ling stands tall beneath the tribulation, his body upright, his robes perfectly intact, showing that ordinary Immortal King Tribulations pose no threat to him.

As the last Immortal King Tribulation falls, the tribulation clouds surge violently, showing no sign of dissipating.

This scene…

Qianhen’s previously anxious heart finally settled down.

“The Immortal King Tribulation has passed, but the tribulation clouds haven’t dispersed. It seems this Eternal Immortal King Tribulation is truly about to begin!”

He stared intently at the surging tribulation clouds, which seemed to emanate some ancient and profound aura.

At the same time, his previously relaxed mind unconsciously tightened again.

As expected,

the Eternal Immortal King Tribulation had appeared.

Next,

the main question was whether Xiao Ling could overcome this tribulation.

After all, the Eternal Immortal King Tribulation was terrifying; of the ten geniuses who triggered it, less than half were able to survive.

Clearly, the appearance of such a tribulation was one thing, but whether one could overcome it was another.

Even though Qianhen had enough confidence in his disciple, he was secretly sweating bullets.
