Terran Guardian - Chapter 3730

Chapter 3707 Purple-Clad Sword Master

Poison King Holy Land.

Su Gu was now even more furious.

Compared to the losses of other forces, the Poison King Holy Land had additionally lost a sixth-grade innate imperial weapon.

Even though the Poison King Holy Land had a strong foundation, innate imperial weapons of this level could not be lost casually.

Every innate imperial weapon

was a part of the Poison King Holy Land’s foundation.

The loss of such a treasure would naturally have a significant impact on the Poison King Holy Land.

For a moment, Su Gu even wanted to use all the power of the Holy Land to besiege Shen Changqing at all costs and completely kill him in the Great Saint Secret Realm.

However,

this thought was suppressed by Su Gu shortly after it came out.

He knew very well that

the price of destroying Shen Changqing was not something the Poison King Holy Land could bear.

No matter how angry Su Gu was, he understood this principle. He

took a deep breath

and looked at Lian Qianchou.

“I have already instructed the Holy Land cultivators to secretly investigate this person’s background. Until then, there’s no need for further conflict.

Currently, mining the Longevity Immortal Mine is the most crucial task; we must avoid any unnecessary complications!” “

Alright!”

Lian Qianchou nodded.

Even now, thinking of the sword he witnessed in the Great Sage Secret Realm still filled him with lingering fear.

Lian Qianchou didn’t want to face that kind of power a second time.

After all,

next time he wouldn’t have a sixth-grade Innate Emperor Weapon to protect him.

If he were to directly confront that sword, he would definitely die.

…

While the Poison King Holy Land swallowed its anger, the Li Huo Dao Sect, the Wang Qing Immortal Sect, and other forces also temporarily refrained from openly confronting Shen Changqing.

The consequences of besieging him were unbearable for the Void Sword Sect and the Poison King Holy Land, as were the other three sects.

Before truly countering the power of the Soul-Destroying Sword, all forces were cautious.

Temporary gains and losses were insignificant.

The future of their sects and Holy Lands was the key.

They needed to understand…

The Chaotic Void Sea is home to numerous forces, many of which, while weaker than the six major powers, are not far behind.

These forces are all secretly watching, seeking an opportunity to replace the six major powers.

Any sign of weakness in the six major powers would trigger a swarm of other forces, leading to their complete annihilation.

Under these circumstances, naturally, no one dared to attack Shen Changqing.

At least ,

until they had sufficient confidence, forces like the Void Sword Sect would not make any moves.

Soon,

the five major powers each sent 100,000 Ancient Immortals to enter the Great Sage Secret Realm, joining forces with the Xuanji Immortal Sect to mine the Longevity Immortal Mine.

Upon entering the Great Sage Secret Realm, Lian Qianchou looked at the figure on the mountaintop, his expression slightly changing before he looked away.

The battle was still fresh in his mind.

The stench of blood in the air hadn’t completely dissipated.

The severed limbs of 500,000 Ancient Immortals were scattered everywhere, a horrifying sight.

Other cultivators who had just entered the secret realm paled upon seeing this scene.

“Is this the Purple-Clad Sword Master?”

A Celestial Emperor from the Poison King Holy Land, who had accompanied him, was immediately shaken when he saw the purple-clad figure on the mountaintop.

Purple-Clad Sword Master!

This was Shen Changqing’s title in the Chaotic Void Sea.

Because no cultivator knew his real name, but he wielded a blood-red immortal sword and had slain more than one Half-Saint, he was known as the Purple-Clad Sword Master.

Lian Qianchou spoke calmly, “This person need not be provoked. Just pretend he doesn’t exist. From now on, you only need to be in charge of the Longevity Immortal Mine. If there are any problems with the mine, you can report to me. The

rest is none of your concern.”

“Disciple understands!”

the Celestial Emperor from the Poison King Holy Land hurriedly replied.

At this moment,

the other Half-Saints also looked at the purple-clad figure on the mountaintop, but like Lian Qianchou, they only glanced at him before looking away.

After realizing that the Longevity Immortal Mine had little impact on Shen Changqing, they abandoned their plan to use the power of the Great Saint’s rules to suppress him.

On the other side,

the Xuanji Immortal Sect…

Venerable Jiuyue didn’t say much.

Soon,

the six major forces, totaling 600,000 Ancient Immortals, joined forces to mine the Longevity Immortal Mine.

Mining such an immortal mine involved first finding a relatively weak mountain pass, then using the combined power of numerous Ancient Immortals to gradually carve out the mine shaft. This was the first step in mining the immortal mine.

In an ordinary mountain range, with the strength of Ancient Immortal cultivators, carving out a mine shaft would be a piece of cake.

At this level, even a single finger could destroy a world.

However,

this was the Longevity Immortal Mine.

This immortal mine, born from the corpse of a Great Sage, contained rocks of extreme hardness. Even an Immortal Emperor would find it difficult to move, let alone an Ancient Immortal.

The mining of the immortal mine by 600,000 Ancient Immortals was destined to be a slow and gradual process, impossible to complete overnight.

While the many Ancient Immortals began mining, atop the mountain peak, Shen Changqing was still comprehending the Great Sage’s Daoist essence remaining in this world.

He could naturally sense the external commotion, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.

His spirit merged with heaven and earth.

Shen Changqing was able to glimpse numerous traces left by the Great Sage of Crossing Calamity in this world.

The Great Sage’s Daoist essence was

comparable to a boundless galaxy.

Shen Changqing was now like a grain of sand within that galaxy; truly comprehending such vast and boundless Daoist power was naturally not easy.

However,

he had plenty of time.

An Immortal Emperor’s lifespan was billions of years.

Even considering the time spent at the Seven Profound Divine Tower, Shen Changqing had only used less than a tenth of his lifespan.

Given enough time, comprehending the Daoist essence of this place would naturally not be a problem.

Moreover…

Shen Changqing had a premonition.

Although the Daoist aura here was terrifying, if he truly wanted to comprehend it, it wouldn’t take too long.

…

Chaotic Void Sea.

Inside the Void Sword Sect.

Li Chenyuan looked at the message that had arrived, his expression slightly shifting: “Is this news confirmed?”

“I can confirm it myself!”

Xiao Yangzi nodded, his tone resolute.

“Back when the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm was plagued by a calamity, the Xuanji Immortal Sect, at the invitation of the Taiyi Holy Land, sent people to Shenfeng Prefecture to assist in suppressing the unrest.

The Purple-Clad Sword Master had a close relationship with the Xuanji Immortal Sect, so I suspected he might be from the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Later, I went to great lengths to inquire with Shenfeng Prefecture and learned that Venerable Qingyao of the Xuanji Immortal Sect had once besieged a Demon King in the Eastern Abyss Region. Many powerful figures participated in the battle, including one named Shen Changqing.

I heard he was an ascended cultivator from the lower realm, later becoming the master of the Xuantian Dao Sect in the Divine Heaven Region. In less than ten million years since his ascension to the upper realm, he had already reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Furthermore, he possesses a supreme treasure called the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram, rumored to be a top-tier Emperor Immortal artifact from ancient times—”

Xiao Yangzi truthfully recounted all the information he had gathered.

Originally, he wasn’t sure if Shen Changqing truly came from the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

To gather information about a single person, one must meticulously unravel the clues, starting with the existing traces.

In fact,

not only in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm,

but Xiao Yangzi also ordered numerous cultivators to investigate from various angles, all to no avail. It

wasn’t until news arrived from Shenfeng Prefecture that Xiao Yangzi was certain that the Xuan Tian Sword Master, Shen Changqing, was the same Purple-Clad Sword Master of the Chaotic Void Sea.

Both shared the surname Shen!

Both possessed the Immortal-Slaying Array Diagram!

From the time when the Chang Geng Demon God used his Origin Divine Weapon during the struggle for the Longevity Immortal Mine share, Xiao Yangzi had already firmly memorized that treasure.

Without a doubt,

that treasure was the Immortal-Slaying Array Diagram.

It was just that this treasure had been transformed into an Origin Divine Weapon after obtaining the Chaos Spirit Embryo.

Hearing this,

Li Chenyuan remained silent for a long time, his expression complex: “To reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm in less than ten million years since ascension—such talent is difficult even for someone with an innate immortal body.

This person truly possesses many secrets…”

At this moment…

Li Chenyuan no longer doubted the veracity of Xiao Yangzi’s information.

But what truly shocked him was Shen Changqing’s growth trajectory.

Less than ten million years after ascending to the Upper Realm, he had already stepped into the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm—what an astonishing cultivation speed!

What did ascending to the Upper Realm represent?

It meant that from the moment he entered the Ancient Immortal Realm, he had broken through all obstacles, step by step reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm, and then ascending to the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Even among the many top geniuses recorded throughout the countless years of the Void Sword Sect’s history, the fastest one to cultivate from Ancient Immortal to the peak of Immortal Emperor took a full ten billion years.

Even so, that cultivator could be considered the number one genius in the history of the Void Sword Sect.

At least—

at the Immortal Emperor level, no one in the Void Sword Sect could surpass him.

But compared to that Xuan Tian Sword Master, the gap was obvious.

It was hard to imagine

how terrifying such a genius would be if he truly broke through to the Half-Saint Realm.

Thinking of this…

A chilling killing intent flashed in Li Chenyuan’s eyes: “This man must die. He cannot be allowed to live unless the feud between us can be resolved. Otherwise, he will surely become a great threat to our sect in the future.

Perhaps, the countless years of tradition of the Void Sword Sect will be completely destroyed by this man!”

Though he said this

, Li Chenyuan knew very well

that resolving the feud was absolutely impossible.

From the moment Li Huaizhen fell, the two sides were already locked in a life-or-death struggle, only they hadn’t completely torn off the last shred of pretense.

It must be understood that

Li Huaizhen was not only the patriarch of the Void Sword Sect, but also the patriarch of the Li clan.

The patriarch’s death!

No matter his status, Li Chenyuan could not ignore this matter.

Even if he could put aside his hatred, the other cultivators of the Void Sword Sect, as well as the bloodline members of the Li Immortal Clan, would not agree.

Moreover

, Li Chenyuan knew that even if the Void Sword Sect were truly willing to reconcile, the other side might not agree.

Furthermore…

Even if Shen Changqing outwardly agreed to resolve the feud and the two sides shook hands in reconciliation, Li Chenyuan still couldn’t fully believe it.

Rather than living in fear, Li Chenyuan believed that completely eliminating this threat was the most appropriate course of action.

Xiao Yangzi asked, “What does the Sect Master plan to do?”

“Investigate thoroughly into all information about this person, including everything about the Xuantian Dao Sect. This person’s talent is monstrous; if we can’t suppress him now, it will be extremely difficult to make a move later.

In this era, even Immortal Emperors cannot achieve immortality; we still have ample time!”

Li Chenyuan said.
