Terran Guardian - Chapter 3682

Chapter 3660 Purge Within the Clan

the Thousand Demon Domain.

The Ancient Yuan Clan.

At this moment, a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a blue Daoist robe, with a sinister face, appeared here. As the only Immortal Emperor realm expert in the Yuan Clan, Yuan Zun personally appeared, and his expression was quite polite.

“Greetings, Senior Void Demon!” Yuan Zun

cupped his hands in greeting. Of

the four Longevity Half-Saints of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, this was one of them.

Although this was the first time Yuan Zun had encountered Void Demon, his name was legendary.

There was no way around it.

A person’s reputation precedes them.

A powerhouse who had reached the Longevity Half-Saint realm naturally commanded respect.

The Void Demon’s expression was indifferent, and his voice seemed devoid of any emotional fluctuation: “The sect has decreed that no cultivator is allowed to practice the Great Dream Immortal Scripture within the territory under the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s jurisdiction.

Anyone who practices it without authorization will be executed without mercy.

The Yuan Clan is a top power in the Thousand Demon Domain, so the affairs of this Immortal Domain require the Yuan Clan’s attention.

If any cultivator is found practicing the Great Dream Immortal Scripture, you must suppress them immediately. If there are any powerful figures that are difficult to deal with, you can report to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

At that time, our sect will step in.”

“Senior, rest assured, if any cultivator attempts to practice evil techniques, my Yuan Clan will show no mercy. Furthermore, if any members of the Yuan Clan practice evil techniques, I will not be lenient either.

The stability of the Thousand Demon Domain cannot be disrupted by the Dark Cult!”

Yuan Zun said resolutely. After

staring at the other for a while, the Void Demon nodded slightly: “It’s excellent that you have such awareness, fellow Daoist.

Now that the wordless stone tablet has spread, many cultivators in the Thousand Demon Domain have obtained the Great Dream Immortal Scripture.

Although our sect intervened immediately to suppress them, it’s hard to guarantee that some will escape. The Yuan Clan will have to put in a lot of effort from now on!”

After saying that

, the Void Demon didn’t intend to stay with the Yuan Clan for long. His figure then disappeared, as if he had never been there at all.

Looking at the empty place in front of him, Yuan Zun’s smile vanished, and his expression became serious again.

“A Longevity Half-Saint!”

he murmured to himself.

Over the years, Yuan Zun had asked himself if his strength had improved considerably, but now, when he truly saw the Void Demon, he realized that there was still an insurmountable chasm between him and a powerhouse at the level of a Longevity Half-Saint.

Even with his innate immortal body and having survived the Ancient Immortal Emperor Tribulation, he would absolutely find it difficult to contend with such an existence.

If one truly wanted to contend with such an existence, one would need to reach at least the limit of the Immortal Emperor realm, if not the same level of Half-Saint.

There was no other way.

The gap between Immortal Emperor and Half-Saint was too vast,

so vast it was despair-inducing.

Before a Half-Saint, most Immortal Emperors were merely ants, even those at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Only a very few Immortal Emperors with profound foundations, upon reaching the pinnacle of their Immortal Emperor status, could possibly contend with a Half-Saint.

Now,

with the arrival of the Void Demon,

Yuan Zun understood even more clearly the magnitude of the difference between the two.

Even just standing there, the opponent exuded an aura capable of suppressing eternity, causing his own blood and qi to stagnate.

Undoubtedly,

if this being were to attack him, he could suppress him in a single exchange.

The Xuan Tian Dao Sect possessed more than one such powerhouse.

However,

what truly alarmed Yuan Zun was the Xuan Tian Sword Master.

“I wonder what kind of immortal body that person possesses. Before even reaching the half-saint realm, they are already able to suppress numerous half-saints. Even ordinary innate immortal bodies, even those at the peak of their immortal body cultivation, might not be able to achieve this.

Such a foundation is truly inconceivable…”

Yuan Zun took a deep breath. He could have competed with this person before, but now, looking back, he was far inferior.

Such a gap naturally made comparison pointless.

Yuan Zun believed that,

looking across the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm,

there was probably no Immortal Emperor who could rival them.

The so-called First Immortal Emperor, although only circulating in the immortal domains around Shenfeng Prefecture, was, in Yuan Zun’s view, worthy of such a title even across the three thousand six hundred immortal prefectures.

After all,

Yuan Zun believed that if he could one day reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, even if his strength wasn’t among the very top few Immortal Emperors in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, it certainly wouldn’t be far behind.   He was confident enough

in this .   Ultimately…   Having awakened his complete Battle Immortal Body, Yuan Zun naturally possessed the qualifications to stand out among his peers.   Yet, even so, he had no intention of comparing himself to Shen Changqing.   This clearly   demonstrated the vast difference in their abilities.   Just then,   Yuan Zhao slowly approached.   ”Elder, what brings that person from the Xuan Tian Dao Sect here?”   he asked.   Although Yuan Zhao was the patriarch of the Yuan clan, in reality, the Yuan clan was now led by Yuan Zun. In matters like the arrival of a Half-Saint, it was the latter who received him.   There was no other way.   How could a mere Half-Step Immortal Emperor have the right to speak to a Half-Saint?   If the Yuan clan didn’t have an Immortal Emperor, then it would be understandable for him, a Half-Step Immortal Emperor, to appear.   But with an Immortal Emperor present, not having him appear, but instead appearing himself, would be a loss of face for the Half-Saint.   If this displeased the other party, it would be detrimental to the entire Yuan clan.   Yuan Zun’s expression turned serious: “That person has come for the Great Dream Immortal Scripture. This technique was passed down by the Yellow Millet Divine Sect. Those who cultivate it and worship the Great Dream Heavenly Lord will become members of the dark cult, strengthening the Yellow Millet Divine Sect.   The Xuan Tian Dao Sect has decreed that no cultivator is allowed to cultivate the Great Dream Immortal Scripture.   Anyone who does will be killed without exception!”   These words   caused Yuan Zhao’s expression to change.   The Great Dream Immortal Scripture had already spread, and many cultivators in the Yuan clan had obtained this technique.   However, a few high-ranking members of the Yuan clan, such as Yuan Zun, immediately noticed that something was amiss with this technique, and therefore strictly prohibited Yuan clan members from cultivating it.

But everyone knew that even if they forbade cultivation, there must be cultivators secretly practicing within the Yuan clan; it was just a matter of numbers.

“This matter is probably difficult to handle!”

Yuan Zhao frowned, naturally understanding the crux of the matter.

Yuan Zun glanced at him, his expression calm: “Even if it’s difficult, it must be dealt with. I believe the clan leader understands the hidden dangers of the Dark Cult.

Those who cultivate the Great Dream Immortal Scripture, even if they have the blood of our Yuan clan flowing through their veins, cannot be considered members of our Yuan clan.

If such cultivators are allowed to exist, they will surely bring disaster to the entire Yuan clan one day.”

“If it really comes to that, does the clan leader think the Yuan clan truly belong to us, or to the Yellow Millet Divine Cult?”

This question

left Yuan Zhao speechless.

Then…

Yuan Zun then changed the subject: “Moreover, once the Xuan Tian Dao Sect learns of this, the Yuan Clan will face annihilation.

Does the Clan Chief think the Xuan Tian Dao Sect will show leniency because of past favors?

The reputation of that Xuan Tian Sword Master was built step by step with countless corpses.

I’m certain that once news spreads that a member of the Yuan Clan is cultivating the Great Dream Immortal Scripture, and the Yuan Clan doesn’t take any action, it won’t be long before a Half-Saint from the Xuan Tian Dao Sect arrives.

At that point, the best outcome will be to hand over the cultivator cultivating the Great Dream Immortal Scripture…”

Yuan Zun didn’t mention the worst-case scenario, because there was no need to.

Yuan Zhao was well aware of this.

The worst outcome was, of course

, annihilation.

Understanding this, Yuan Zhao also realized that the current situation left the Yuan Clan no room for hesitation.

His initial hesitation stemmed from being of the same bloodline as the Yuan Clan, and he couldn’t bear to take such ruthless action.

But now, Yuan Zun had laid out all the consequences openly.

In this situation, there’s nothing more to say.

Thinking this

, Yuan Zhao took a deep breath: “The Grand Elder is right. Our Yuan Clan has no other choice now. Our clan has finally regained its former glory; we absolutely cannot let it be ruined!”

The Yuan Clan’s lineage dates back to ancient times, but it has declined for many years.

For countless years, no Immortal Emperor has emerged from the Yuan Clan; they can only eke out a living in a mid-tier Immortal Domain like the Thousand Demon Domain.

The Yuan Clan was once considered a top power in the Thousand Demon Domain, but compared to its heyday, it was utterly insignificant.

Now,

the Yuan Clan has finally produced another Battle Immortal Body, and this person has already stepped into the Immortal Emperor realm. When the great calamity arrives in the future, there might be a chance to break through to the Half-Saint realm.

If they can truly reach that point, then the Yuan Clan can become an Immortal Clan of Immortal Life.

At that time,

the Yuan Clan will truly ascend to the heavens in one step, completely surpassing its former glory and entering a completely new height.

Although the Yuan Clan has not yet reached that point, Yuan Zhao has already seen hope.

At this time,

he naturally cannot allow any unexpected events to occur.

“The clan must be thoroughly cleansed; no cultivators practicing the Great Dream Immortal Scripture should be allowed to appear. The same applies to cultivators from other forces in the Thousand Demon Domain.

The Xuan Tian Dao Sect has entrusted this matter to our clan, so we must do our utmost.

Otherwise, if any major chaos ensues, we will have difficulty explaining ourselves!”

Yuan Zun paused slightly before continuing.

“The clan’s internal affairs will be handled by the clan leader. As for matters outside the Yuan Clan, I will personally take charge.

Next, I will make a trip to the Chang Tian Immortal Sect!”

The Thousand Demon Domain currently has two top forces: the ancient Yuan Clan and the Chang Tian Immortal Sect.

Only after Yuan Zun himself broke through to the Immortal Emperor realm did the gap between the two forces truly widen.

However, due to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s balancing act, the Chang Tian Immortal Sect can still rival the Yuan Clan.

The matter of the Great Dream Immortal Scripture involves the entire Thousand Demon Domain, so the Yuan Clan naturally cannot bear the burden alone.

Moreover…

In Yuan Zun’s view, since the Void Demon had already come to the Yuan Clan, he would definitely go to the Changtian Immortal Sect.

Therefore,

he naturally had to go to the Changtian Immortal Sect to discuss this matter with them.

Yuan Zhao naturally had no objection to this.

At the same time—

many cultivators from the Xuantian Dao Sect had traversed several immortal realms, collecting all the wordless stone tablets and handing them over to Shen Changqing.

Five immortal realms.

A total of sixty-seven wordless stone tablets.

Each stone tablet carried the Daoist power of the Great Dream Immortal Scripture.

Shen Changqing had no intention of keeping these stone tablets; he directly destroyed them all.
