Terran Guardian - Chapter 3725

Chapter 3702 Now that we have seen the true Buddha, how dare we not pay homage!

Xuanji Immortal Sect.

Inside the Immortal Hall.

Many half-saints, including Venerable Luo Tian, were present, with Shen Changqing and the Demon God Chang Geng

among them. “This time, Fellow Daoist Shen and Fellow Daoist Chang Geng have obtained a total of six shares. According to the original agreement, our Xuanji Immortal Sect would only receive 30% of Fellow Daoist Shen’s share, and 50% of Fellow Daoist Chang Geng’s share.

However, I, the Venerable One, hereby decide that Fellow Daoist Chang Geng’s share will be the same as Fellow Daoist Shen’s—30%.

The remaining 70% belongs to Fellow Daoist Chang Geng.”

“Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Luo Tian!”

Shen Changqing smiled calmly, naturally not refusing.

Don’t underestimate this division; it’s only 20% of a share.

In reality,

each share doesn’t represent a large amount of additional resources.

A difference of 20% is significant.

This means that out of the six shares, the Xuantian Dao Sect can obtain approximately four and a half percent.

Such a share

is considerable.

Forces like the Poison King Holy Land only have twenty-five shares each.

However, the Poison King Holy Land is one of the six major forces in the Chaotic Sky Sea, with a strong foundation and resources, far surpassing the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

With these shares, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect can certainly obtain sufficient benefits.

Moreover,

a Longevity Immortal Mine formed from the Dao of a Great Saint is enough to be mined for countless years; truly exhausting it is not an easy task.

It should be noted that the Tai Luo

Immortal Mine was mined by the Heavenly Demon Holy Land since ancient times, only then was it considered depleted.   Although

the Tai Luo Immortal Mine is a supreme immortal mine, and the Heavenly Demon Holy Land didn’t use much power when mining it in the past,   a Longevity Immortal Mine at the Great Saint level is still enough to sustain for over a million years.   The resources it represents are enough to tempt most forces.   More importantly,   this Longevity Immortal Mine contains top-grade immortal stones.   These are precisely what Shen Changqing needs.   Venerable Luo Tian said, “Next, our sect will begin mining the Longevity Immortal Mine. If Fellow Daoist Shen is willing, you can also arrange some manpower to guard the mine alongside our sect.   This will make the subsequent allocation of resources from the Longevity Immortal Mine and other matters much easier.”   “Elder Chang Geng will guard the Longevity Immortal Mine on behalf of our Xuan Tian Dao Sect. If anything happens, the Xuanji Immortal Sect only needs to inform Elder Chang Geng.   He will then inform me!”   Shen Changqing thought for a moment and decided to let the Demon God Chang Geng stay.   It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the Xuanji Immortal Sect, but he naturally had to be cautious about matters involving his own interests.   If anything went wrong, neither side would save face.   Besides, Venerable Luo Tian’s words implied the same thing.   Therefore,   Shen Changqing simply let the Demon God Chang Geng stay.   The situation in the Chaotic Void Sea was chaotic; ordinary cultivators were useless, even Immortal Emperors. Only those at the Half-Saint Realm who had reached the pinnacle of longevity were qualified to oversee a region.   Chang Geng, the Demon God, was perfectly suited to represent the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.   His strength was considerable, making him suitable to oversee the Crossing Calamity Realm.   ”Fellow Daoist Chang Geng is powerful enough to oversee the Longevity Immortal Mine!”   Venerable Luo Tian nodded.   Then, Shen Changqing spoke again: “I have long heard of the secret realm of the Crossing Calamity Realm. I would like to enter and take a look, and also see the Longevity Immortal Mine. Is that permissible?”   ”That’s easy!”   Venerable Luo Tian did not refuse. Currently, the Crossing Calamity Realm was controlled by six major forces, making it difficult for other cultivators to enter. However, for the Xuanji Immortal Sect, sending someone in was naturally not a major problem.   …   The next day.   Shen Changqing and the Demon God Chang Geng went directly to the Crossing Calamity Realm.   Upon entering, they immediately attracted the attention of the Half-Saints guarding the Crossing Calamity Realm.   The Half-Saints from other forces all frowned upon seeing Shen Changqing, but none of them stepped forward to stop him.   After all, they were very familiar with him.   The arrival of the other party at this moment clearly indicates that they have received the approval of the Xuanji Immortal Sect, so there’s no point in trying to stop them.   Besides   , the various forces’ half-saints have all witnessed the strength of Shen Changqing and the Chang Geng Demon God.   The Chang Geng Demon God is a given;   suppressing a second-tribulation half-saint with   only a first-tribulation half-saint’s power demonstrates his extraordinary foundation. Although Shen Changqing didn’t participate in the previous battle, he intimidated all sides with the power of his supreme treasure alone, preventing even eighth-tribulation half-saints from acting rashly.   If they were truly angered, no one would survive under the Soul-Destroying Sword.   Just as the other half-saints retreated, Venerable Jiuyue appeared, his face beaming with smiles upon seeing the newcomers.   ”Fellow Daoist Shen, Fellow Daoist Chang Geng!”   ”Fellow Daoist Jiuyue… I have come here to visit the Crossing Calamity Realm Secret Realm and the Longevity Immortal Mine!”   Shen Changqing directly stated his purpose, to which Venerable Jiuyue nodded.   ”Brother Luo Tian has already mentioned this matter. Since Fellow Daoists Shen and I wish to enter the secret realm, there is naturally no problem.   The entrance to the secret realm has already been opened, so you may enter freely.   However—”   At the end, Venerable Jiuyue paused and added a reminder,   ”This secret realm was created by the Great Sage Du’e in the past, and there are still some restrictions within it. If you enter the secret realm, you must be cautious.   If you trigger the Great Sage’s restrictions, it will be quite troublesome!”   ”I understand, thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist.”   Shen Changqing nodded.   Seeing this, Venerable Jiuyue didn’t say much more and simply stepped aside, allowing Shen Changqing and the Demon God Chang Geng to enter the secret realm.   …   Stepping into the secret realm,   Shen Changqing immediately felt a powerful pressure descend upon him from the darkness.

Despite its age, this oppressive aura remained formidable, its terrifying Daoist power omnipresent. Shen Changqing could even feel his own immortal energy and blood becoming somewhat stagnant and obscure.

“The pressure of a Great Sage!”

Shen Changqing understood this pressure immediately.

As a Great Sage’s secret realm, it was normal for this place to possess the residual pressure of a Great Sage.

Furthermore,

this secret realm was not as simple as an ordinary Great Sage’s secret realm; it was the burial place of the Great Sage of Crossing Calamity.

Simply put,

it was equivalent to a Great Sage’s tomb.

Therefore, this secret realm was naturally incomparable to ordinary Great Sage’s secret realms, and the residual pressure being stronger was understandable.

Then,

Shen Changqing glanced at the Chang Geng Demon God beside him and said, “As a Great Sage’s tomb, this place might offer some opportunities.

Since you’ve entered, you can explore it yourself.

Anyway, you’ll be stationed in the Crossing Calamity Realm on behalf of our sect, so familiarizing yourself with it beforehand is beneficial.”

“Your Excellency is absolutely right!”

The Chang Geng Demon God nodded, a barely perceptible fervor flickering in his eyes.

He was also very curious about this Great Sage’s tomb.

No one knew how many opportunities lay within, but exploring it was certainly not a bad thing.

If there was nothing, there was no loss.

If he were lucky enough to find some opportunities, that would be a different story.

Seeing that Chang Geng Demon God agreed, Shen Changqing also took a step into the air and directly explored other parts of the Great Sage’s tomb.

The reason they separated

was because the residual pressure of the Great Dao within this Great Sage’s tomb was too strong, greatly suppressing their own divine sense.

If the two of them joined forces, exploring the secret realm would be a waste of time.

Conversely,

if they separated, it would be much simpler.

Furthermore, with Chang Geng Demon God’s strength, as long as they were careful, there wouldn’t be any major problems.

The reason they could be so certain was because this Great Sage’s tomb wasn’t newly appeared, but had existed for many years.

The six major forces and other cultivators had probably already explored this Great Sage’s tomb extensively.

If there were any dangers within, the Xuanji Immortal Sect couldn’t possibly be unaware of them.

Since the Venerable Nine Peaks only offered a warning without going into too much detail, it meant the dangers of this Great Sage’s Tomb were practically obvious.

With a little caution, there shouldn’t be any major problems.

Therefore, Shen Changqing simply let the Demon God Chang Geng explore it on his own, while he explored another area.

However—

as mentioned before.

This secret realm had been around for many years, and its dangers had been thoroughly explored, so the opportunities were likely similarly limited. Even if some opportunities remained, they would be few and far between.

Shen Changqing’s entry wasn’t solely for finding any remaining opportunities; he also wanted to truly observe this Great Sage’s Tomb and comprehend the Great Sage’s Dao within.

Even if a powerful being of this level had perished many years ago, the residual power of their Dao should not be underestimated.

If he could glean some insights from it, it would be immensely beneficial

—even

greater than comprehending the Mountain and Sea Sword Dao previously.

…

Walking within the Great Sage’s Tomb, Shen Changqing constantly probed his surroundings with his divine sense, silently sensing the Dao aura remaining in every blade of grass, every tree, and even every inch of soil.

This Great Sage’s tomb has existed for countless ages, its supreme Dao power permeating the entire tomb.

However, this Dao power mostly remains dormant.

When Shen Changqing touched it with his divine sense, the remaining supreme Dao power was instantly awakened.

“Boom!!!”

In an instant, Shen Changqing felt his sea of consciousness roar, as a terrifying Dao power erupted.

Chanting Buddhist scriptures!

Golden light surged forth!

Shen Changqing seemed to see, in ancient times, a Buddha seated high in the heavens, supported by a golden lotus platform, expounding the Great Dao of Zen, with countless beings chanting Buddhist mantras and listening to these true words of the Great Dao.

“Having seen the true Buddha, how dare I not bow!!”

A Buddhist voice entered Shen Changqing’s ears, as if a scene from ancient times had reappeared.

In the darkness,

an inexplicable feeling welled up from the depths of Shen Changqing’s heart, as if a voice was urging him to chant scriptures and kneel in worship.

“This Great Sage of Crossing Calamity is indeed quite extraordinary, but his power is ultimately somewhat lacking, not comparable to that of the Great Dream Heavenly Lord!”

Despite this strange feeling, Shen Changqing remained calm and unaffected.

Having witnessed the terrifying power of the Great Dream Heavenly Lord, the remaining Daoist energy of the Great Sage of Crossing Calamity was utterly insignificant.
