Terran Guardian - Chapter 3932

Chapter 3908 Demon-Slaying Alliance

The calamity spread rapidly.

In less than ten years, many neighboring immortal states of the Southern Yuan Dao State were affected.

Seeing the calamity grow stronger,

the various immortal states could no longer remain passive.

On this day,

led by the Taiyi Immortal Sect and the Purple Mansion Dao Court, among other supreme powers, an edict spread throughout the world, shaking the vast Eastern Bright Immortal State’s 1,800 immortal domains.

“The Demon-Slaying Alliance!”

Shen Changqing’s eyes flickered upon seeing the news.

The Demon-Slaying Alliance!

It was a force established by the Taiyi Immortal Sect and other top powers in alliance.

But everyone could see that the Demon-Slaying Alliance was merely a name; its purpose was to facilitate the joint issuance of orders by various forces.

“The emergence of the Demon-Slaying Alliance shows that those supreme powers truly felt threatened and dared not allow such a calamity to grow!”

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

With this thought, his expression returned to its usual calm.

Now that news of the Demon-Slaying Alliance had spread and an edict had been issued, this matter was ultimately just hearsay and had not yet truly affected the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Since that’s the case,

Shen Changqing has no need to pay attention.

However—

less than half a month later,

a cultivator from the Taiyi Immortal Sect came to his door.

“This humble Daoist Bai Jingyu greets Senior Qixuan!”

This time, upon seeing Shen Changqing again, this true disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect was even more polite than before, his words carrying a hint of respect.

The Qixuan Dao Sect now has a considerable reputation, and the Qixuan Dao Lord before him is rumored to be a top-tier half-saint who has reached the Ninth Tribulation.

Such a powerful figure is not to be underestimated even within the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Although he is a true disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, Bai Jingyu still dares not show any disrespect to such a being

.

Shen Changqing smiled calmly, “I wonder what brings you here, young friend Bai?”

“A few years ago, a great evil spirit emerged, stirring up trouble and wreaking havoc across the land.

Many immortal states were affected, and countless lives were lost.

Our Taiyi Immortal Sect, concerned for the safety of all living beings, joined forces with various powers to attempt a legitimate campaign to eradicate the great evil spirit.

However, the spirit was incredibly powerful, and the battle ended in mutual destruction.

Later, the spirit used this opportunity to launch a massive evil calamity, attempting to slaughter all living beings.

Our Taiyi Immortal Sect could not bear this, so we joined other forces to establish the Demon-Slaying Alliance to gather cultivators from all over the world to fight against the evil calamity!”

Bai Jingyu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Shen Changqing’s eyes narrowed slightly, then returned to normal.

“The Taiyi Immortal Sect cares deeply for all living beings; I admire them greatly.”

“Senior, you are too kind. I have come with the Demon-Slaying Token, hoping the Seven Profound Dao Sect can join us in combating the evil calamity.

Furthermore, the Demon-Slaying Alliance is not asking the Seven Profound Dao Sect to act for nothing.

If you can slay the evil beasts and suppress the calamity, the Demon-Slaying Alliance will bestow cultivation resources upon you.

Details are contained within this Demon-Slaying Token; please take a look, Senior!”

Bai Jingyu said, then took out a crimson token. Shen Changqing waved his right hand, and the token left Bai Jingyu’s hand, landing in his own.

Shen Changqing looked at the Demon-Slaying Token in his hand. Both sides bore only the words “Demon Slaying,” but every stroke contained overwhelming pressure, as if the mark was left by an unparalleled powerhouse.

His pupils contracted slightly before recovering.

“I accept this token. Do you have anything else to attend to, young friend?”

“Having finished my business here, I must now depart for other forces, so I will take my leave!”

Bai Jingyu did not linger at the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and after saying this, he took his leave.

Shen

Changqing also ordered someone to personally escort him out.

Regardless,

he had to give face to the true disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect on the surface.

But that was all.

After Bai Jingyu left, Shen Changqing’s gaze returned to the Demon-Slaying Token.

“Demon-Slaying Token!”

“The craftsmanship is flawless, showing that the expert who crafted this token possesses unfathomable cultivation!”

Shen Changqing played with the Demon-Slaying Token, and then imprinted his divine soul mark on it.

Since the Taiyi Immortal Sect had personally sent someone to deliver the token, Shen Changqing naturally could not ignore it.

The next moment,

a mysterious connection arose spontaneously.

Shen Changqing’s divine sense fell into the Demon-Slaying Token, and he discovered that this token was not simply representing the Demon-Slaying Alliance; this token was comparable to a supreme Dao mirror.

Among them were numerous tasks issued by the Demon-Slaying Alliance. Shen Changqing glanced at them casually, already understanding their meaning.

“The Floating Mountain Immortal Realm is in turmoil due to a calamity. This immortal realm has fallen, with most of its inhabitants perishing. The number of demonic beasts is no less than a trillion, the strongest being a Third Tribulation Half-Saint realm demonic beast.

Suppressing the calamity in the Floating Mountain Immortal Realm will reward you with 30 million high-grade immortal stones!

Slaying the Demon King will reward you with ten Primordial Dao Fruits and a hundred top-grade immortal stones!”

…

Lines of tasks.

Dense and countless.

These tasks ranged from suppressing a calamity in an entire immortal realm to besieging scattered demonic beasts.

However,

the rewards for different levels of tasks varied.

Simply put,

the rewards were linked to the difficulty of the task.

For example, suppressing the calamity in the Floating Mountain Immortal Realm guaranteed at least 30 million high-grade immortal stones.

Moreover, slaying the Third Tribulation Half-Saint realm Demon King would also grant additional cultivation resources:

ten Primordial Dao Fruits!

A hundred top-grade immortal stones!

Such rewards are quite substantial.

The former can allow a Celestial Emperor to directly reach the peak of the Celestial Emperor realm in a short period of time, and the latter goes without saying.

Speaking of which,

Shen Changqing, despite slaying numerous powerful figures, didn’t obtain many rare treasures like the Primordial Dao Fruit.

Just then,

a mission flashed slightly, then disappeared from his sight.

Seeing this, Shen Changqing’s expression faltered slightly, but he quickly understood.

Someone had accepted the corresponding mission, which was why the mission had disappeared.

Ultimately,

most missions are unique.

Like suppressing the turmoil in the Floating Mountain Immortal Realm, there was no second Floating Mountain Immortal Realm in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. If the person who accepted the mission resolved the calamity in the Floating Mountain Immortal Realm, then naturally there would be no need for anyone else.

However, if the mission failed, then the mission would reappear.

Shen Changqing already knew this basic information the moment he refined the Demon-Slaying Token.

“Thirteen supreme forces jointly established the Demon-Slaying Alliance, and they offered a considerable amount of cultivation resources.

Now that the Demon-Slaying Token has spread throughout the Eastern Bright Immortal Continent, only supreme forces like the Taiyi Immortal Sect have the resources to support it!”

After all

, without sufficient resources, how easy would it be to command all sides?

The cultivation resources bestowed by the various missions in the Demon-Slaying Token alone were beyond the reach of ordinary forces.

Shen Changqing glanced at them and found that some of the mission rewards were particularly tempting.

Up to the level of Saint-level resources!

All kinds of cultivation resources are available, from ordinary ones!

However, Shen Changqing only glanced at the Saint-level cultivation resources before immediately giving up.

Any reward involving this level signifies an extraordinary calamity.

For example, the task Shen Changqing saw before him involved a Saint-level Demon King.

This alone

was enough to make Shen Changqing hesitate.

A Saint!

That level of powerhouse was beyond his current capabilities.

Even with a Creation Treasure, the result would be the same.

Ultimately, no matter how

powerful a Creation Treasure is, without sufficient strength to unleash its power, even contending with a Saint is difficult, let alone killing one.

However—

after carefully examining the remaining cultivation resources, Shen Changqing was also somewhat tempted.

Not to mention anything else, the Primordial Dao Fruit obtained from suppressing the Floating Mountain Immortal Domain calamity could add one or two more top-tier Immortal Emperors to the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Even if an ordinary Immortal Emperor opened up the Nine Directions Inner Universe, it would have limited use for the Seven Profound Dao Sect at present.

However, for top geniuses like Ji Yang and Gu Qingyang, if they could step into the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, the change in their strength would be considerable.

Furthermore,

some missions could even directly yield immortal elixirs and the so-called ageless lotus.

There were also

items that could mend one’s foundation or even improve one’s aptitude.

For example, Heavenly Marrow Jade Dew, and even stronger substances, as well as the Xuanhuang Heaven-Mending Lotus.

Some of these rare treasures were things Shen Changqing had never even heard of.

Obtaining certain cultivation resources would be enough to significantly boost the strength of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing summoned the cultivators of the twelve peaks.

Upon their arrival, he took out the Demon-Slaying Token and revealed Bai Jingyu’s arrival without any concealment.

Hearing this,

everyone’s expressions varied.

“The Demon-Slaying Alliance!”

“It seems those supreme forces are truly anxious this time!”

“I thought the rumors about the Demon-Slaying Alliance were still exaggerated, but I didn’t expect it to be true—”

Many cultivators spoke one after another, secretly shocked by the matter of the Demon-Slaying Alliance.

News of the Demon-Slaying Alliance had already spread, but its veracity was uncertain.

Some believed it,

while others did not.

However, the situation was different now. With the Demon-Slaying Order before them, the cultivators of the Twelve Peaks had no doubts.

Yang Daoxu said, “I’ve heard that other immortal states also have forces similar to the Demon-Slaying Alliance, established by a coalition of many top powers solely to deal with this calamity. I

initially thought this news was false, but now that the Demon-Slaying Alliance has been established in Dongming Immortal State, the news from other immortal states is likely true.

Now that the Taiyi Immortal Sect has issued the Demon-Slaying Order, what is the Sect Master’s opinion?

“

Shen Changqing’s expression remained calm: “You are all aware of the threat of the demonic calamity and chaos. Allowing it to spread will benefit no one.

Now that the Taiyi Immortal Sect

and other forces have taken the lead in establishing the Demon-Slaying Alliance, my Seven Profound Dao Sect cannot remain uninvolved. Moreover, the Demon-Slaying Alliance offers numerous missions with bounties, including top-tier natural treasures and other cultivation resources.

Although my Seven Profound Dao Sect obtained considerable cultivation resources from the previous annihilation of the Tianlan Sword Pavilion, I believe no one would complain about having too many cultivation resources.”

He

paused.

“Furthermore, with the Demon-Slaying Order issued, the Taiyi Immortal Sect and other forces have taken a resolute stance. If our sect remains inactive, we risk displeasing the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

At this point, it is no longer possible for us to remain indifferent.” (End of Chapter)
