Terran Guardian - Chapter 3738

Chapter 3714 Further to the Divine Sun Domain

Three months

passed quietly .

Some fluctuations occurred within the Nine Peaks.

Although each peak master knew the number of slots for the Divine Sun Domain, a few disciples inevitably felt resentful for not receiving one.   To

appease the discontent and demonstrate maximum fairness,   each peak held a small-scale competition.   Those participating were disciples who had reached the peak of the Immortal King realm.   As for those at the Ancient Immortal realm, it wasn’t so complicated.   The reason was simple:   to leave a mark on the Ancient Immortal Stele, one needed at least the cultivation level of the Ancient Immortal peak to even attempt it.   Even with the current strength and resources of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, cultivators at the Ancient Immortal peak were not a rare find.   Any Ancient Immortal peak cultivator was at least an elder or a Sequence Saint.   For ordinary true disciples, breaking through to the Ancient Immortal realm was already quite an achievement; reaching the Ancient Immortal peak in such a short time was absolutely impossible.   Most of the cultivators at the peak of the Ancient Immortal realm were self-aware.   Whether their own strength could suppress ordinary cultivators of the same level was questionable, let alone compete for a ranking on the Ancient Immortal Stele.   Any genius who could leave their mark on the Ancient Immortal Stele was at least a being comparable to the Immortal Emperor realm within the Ancient Immortal realm.   If they couldn’t achieve that, how could they receive the blessings of Heaven?   Within the entire Xuan Tian Dao Sect, there were only a handful of geniuses who truly possessed Immortal Emperor-level combat power within the Ancient Immortal realm.   Therefore,   they naturally had no intention of vying for a spot.   At most, they   would simply go to the Divine Sun Domain to broaden their horizons.   Only the battles at the Immortal King realm were truly intense.   After all, there weren’t many cultivators at the peak of the Ancient Immortal realm, but there were quite a few disciples at the peak of the Immortal King realm.   Especially many true disciples of the Immortal King realm, who believed themselves to be no weaker than others, were naturally unwilling to miss the opportunity to go to the Divine Sun Domain.   It should be noted   that the first group of people who went to the Divine Sun Domain with Shen Changqing, even if they didn’t leave their names on the Heavenly Dao Stele, still received many opportunities.   Upon their return, their cultivation levels and strengths had all improved significantly.   Therefore, everyone understood that going to the Divine Sun Domain was itself an opportunity.   Of course,   the main reason was that they considered themselves no weaker than others.   Except for a very few, such as Xiao Ling of Sword Peak, a genius renowned throughout the sect who had survived the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation, they considered themselves inferior.   As for their fellow disciples, they naturally disagreed.   Therefore ,   a struggle was inevitable.   But regardless, after three months, the nine peaks had finally confirmed their ten spots.   Shen Changqing glanced at them and found many names quite familiar.   These people   were all disciples who had distinguished themselves in the Grand Competition and were able to cultivate acquired bloodlines.   With the blessing of acquired bloodlines, they were naturally not comparable to ordinary cultivators.   People like Xiao Ling of Sword Peak and Tantai Yun of Body Peak were prominently listed.   However, besides these, there were still some unfamiliar names, rising stars of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.   Shen Changqing glanced at them briefly and had no objections.   Now that the various peaks have submitted their lists, he only needs to take them to the Divine Sun Domain.   Shen Changqing doesn’t know how many of these people will actually have their names inscribed on the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.   However—   in his opinion—   among the disciples at the Immortal King realm this time, barring any unforeseen circumstances, only Xiao Ling is truly confident of having his name inscribed on the Immortal King Stele.   Whether the others can truly inscribe their names on the Immortal King Stele is debatable.   Although over millions of years, besides Xiao Ling, others have also survived the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation, surviving the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation only grants them the qualification to touch the Immortal King Stele.   The truly important factor is still what kind of opportunity they obtained during the Ancient Heavenly Tribulation.   Xiao Ling’s aptitude is already extraordinary, and his comprehension in swordsmanship is top-notch. Later, he obtained an acquired bloodline, survived the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation, and was bestowed with innate sword bones, making him even more formidable.   With such advantages, Xiao Ling can certainly ascend the Immortal King Stele.   In terms of true strength, Xiao Ling is currently no weaker than Ye Yun when he was at the Immortal King realm, and might even be three points stronger.   Other disciples, however, are far inferior.   With the quotas for each peak confirmed, Shen Changqing led Gu Qingyang and many other disciples, a group of over a hundred people riding the Void Divine Ship directly towards the Divine Sun Domain.   Watching the immortal ship gradually dissipate into nothingness, Yang Daoxu’s expression was slightly complicated, his eyes revealing anticipation.   ”I wonder how many geniuses from our sect will be able to leave their names on the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele this time!”   Qingmu said, “Dan Peak Master Ji Yang, Sequence Gu Qingyang, and Zhan Peak Mu Chen are all innate immortal bodies, and two of them have already ascended the Immortal King Stele.   Now, the three of them have reached the peak of Ancient Immortal cultivation, their strength enough to suppress ordinary Immortal Emperors.   If nothing unexpected happens, these three should have a chance to win a place on the Ancient Immortal Stele!”   Hearing this,   Yang Daoxu nodded.   ”Those three will undoubtedly be able to inscribe on the Ancient Immortal Stele, and their rankings will certainly not be low!”   Yang Daoxu was quite confident about this.   After all, the three of them not only possessed the combat power of an Immortal Emperor, but had also once defied an Immortal Emperor.   This alone   was enough to secure their place on the Ancient Immortal Stele.   Following this,   Qingmu added, “Xiao Ling of Sword Peak possesses exceptional sword comprehension, having swept across various regions at the Great Power Realm and been granted an acquired bloodline.   Later, he underwent the Ancient Immortal King Tribulation and received the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, making his foundation equally formidable.   Without a doubt, this young man will also be able to leave his name on the Heavenly Dao Stele.   As for Ye Yun, although he doesn’t have an innate immortal body, as a member of our sect, he possesses strength comparable to an Immortal Emperor, making his chances of ascending to the Ancient Immortal Stele extremely high.   In this way, at least five people will be able to leave their names on the Heavenly Dao Stele!”   This analysis…

Well-reasoned and supported by evidence.

Not only Yang Daoxu agreed, but Qingxu also deeply resonated with this.

“At least five people can leave their names on the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele. I fear that throughout the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, few forces can achieve this.

With this trip to the Divine Sun Domain, our Xuantian Dao Sect will surely become famous!”

Yang Daoxu’s eyes burned with fervor, as if he could already see the scene of Xuantian Dao Sect’s rise to fame throughout the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Although Xuantian Dao Sect already had considerable renown in Shenfeng Prefecture, it was still insignificant in the entire Nine Heavens

Immortal Realm. However, if a large number of Xuantian Dao Sect disciples could ascend the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele this time, then the name Xuantian Dao Sect would absolutely shock all sides.

It must be known that

the Ancient Immortal Stele is far more valuable than the Immortal King Stele.

Of course,

great success attracts great attention.

If Xuantian Dao Sect becomes famous, it will inevitably become a thorn in the side of other forces.

In the past, such fame might not have been a good thing for Xuantian Dao Sect.

However, in Yang Daoxu’s view, even though the sect’s fame would attract the attention of many forces, its current strength was sufficient to handle any storms.

After all,

the four half-saints of the Xuantian Dao Sect were no joke.

In this era, with immortality impossible, four half-saints were enough to suppress the situation.

Besides,

the rankings on the Ancient Immortal Stele weren’t worth the effort of a half-saint level being to deal with a force with similar half-saint foundations.

Five prodigies were listed on the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.

This was the most conservative estimate.

If luck was on their side, perhaps a few more prodigies could be added.

Any prodigy who ascended to the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele, barring an unexpected death, would at least reach the Immortal Emperor realm in the future.

If they could obtain some further opportunities, they might even have the qualifications to reach the pinnacle of immortality.

Of course ,

truly breaking through to the half-saint realm was not an easy thing.

Many prodigies on the Immortal Emperor Stele never truly broke through to the half-saint realm in their entire lives, ultimately exhausting their lifespans, either dying in obscurity or cultivating forbidden methods to become fallen immortals.

This shows that breaking through to the Half-Saint level is not easy.

Even ascending the Immortal Emperor Stele doesn’t guarantee reaching that level.

However,

the lower limit of the Heavenly Dao Stele is the Immortal Emperor level.

Even the prodigies on the Immortal King Stele can break through to the Immortal Emperor realm if they perish unexpectedly.

As long as there are enough Immortal Emperors, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect will naturally have new Half-Saints.

Seeing the sect grow stronger step by step, Qingmu and the others, as the most senior members of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, were naturally gratified.

—The

Chaotic Void.

The divine ship traversed.

On the deck of the immortal ship, the cultivators of the Nine Peaks looked at the traversing chaotic void and the numerous dissipating star remnants, their faces filled with shock and curiosity.

“Only today do we realize the vastness of the Chaos; the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is but a drop in the ocean!”

an Immortal King cultivator exclaimed. For cultivators of their level, most didn’t even have the qualifications to step into the Chaos.

Seeing the chaotic scene firsthand was an extraordinary shock.

However…

Some cultivators, though familiar with chaos, were not at peace.

The sights of the chaotic void held little appeal for them.

Their curiosity about the Divine Sun Domain, however, was irresistible.

As time passed, more and more chaotic scenes came into view.

Powerful beings clashed, their terrifying fluctuations annihilating stars and sweeping across the void. Chaotic beasts fed on stars, easily destroying the void itself.

Such terrifying auras were enough to make one’s breath catch in their throat.

Some chaotic beasts even sensed the existence of the Void Divine Ship and attempted to capture the cultivators aboard.

Unfortunately, the Void Divine Ship was too fast; ordinary chaotic beasts could not catch it.

Often, the moment a chaotic beast sensed the Void Divine Ship, it would lose all contact with its location.

Even so, the aura of these chaotic beasts still sent shivers down the spines of many sect disciples.

Previously, having never truly ventured into the chaotic void, they had only learned of its dangers from others and their elders, but nothing could compare to the awe-inspiring power of witnessing it firsthand.

Their own pride and strength seemed insignificant and weak within the chaos.

If not for the protection of the Void Divine Ship, many disciples felt they would have little chance of surviving even reaching the Divine Sun Domain.

They might be swallowed whole by a chaotic beast at any moment, or their lives might be jeopardized by the aftershocks of a battle between powerful beings.
