Terran Guardian - Chapter 3968

Chapter 3943 Ancestor of the Jiang Family

The moment the Dharma image dissipated,

in a celestial palace, the Dao Ancestor suddenly opened his eyes, his face solemn.

“I never expected that after suffering such severe injuries, almost to the point of death, you could still possess such power. It seems I underestimated you!”

He never imagined

that even in his dire state, Jiu Ye could still unleash such power.

The magic sword he gave to Tai Su Dao Jun not only contained his own power but also a hidden divine will, intended to strike at a crucial moment and directly kill Jiu Ye.

However, the Dao Ancestor hadn’t anticipated

that he had underestimated his opponent.   Even now, severely injured, that being’s strength was unfathomable.

But   at that moment,   the void outside the celestial palace suddenly cracked open, and a world-destroying divine punishment descended fiercely.   ”Boom!”   The celestial palace shattered.   Although the Dao Ancestor immediately tried to defend himself, he was also affected by the backlash, his blood and qi surging violently.   When he looked at the shattered celestial palace, his face turned ashen.   Destroyed again!   The celestial palace, barely completed, was now destroyed by divine punishment.   As the Dao Ancestor of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, his celestial palace was no ordinary object; the destruction of each one was enough to cause him immense pain.   ”Divine punishment… damn it!”   The Dao Ancestor gritted his teeth, but he was powerless to do anything.   That was the Chaos Heavenly Dao.   Even the Lord of the Great Dao would be wary of such an existence.   His recent intervention from afar had disrupted the order of chaos, so the divine punishment was inevitable.   Even if the Dao Ancestor was dissatisfied, he could only silently endure it; he had no other choice.   …   On the other side.   Inside the Cangyun Immortal Mansion.   Jiu Ye glanced indifferently at the chaotic void before withdrawing his gaze.   Destroying the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image   was a trivial matter for him.   In fact,   given his current state, while he could truly destroy the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image, doing so without leaving a trace was still difficult.   The reason he was able to do this was because Jiu Ye didn’t act personally, but rather activated the power within Jiang Daoxuan’s bloodline.   As the patriarch of the Jiang family,   all descendants of the Jiang family carry his bloodline.   Countless years ago, Jiu Ye had casually sealed a portion of his own power within the Jiang family bloodline, precisely to prepare for future calamities.   This power lay dormant for a long time, difficult to unleash unless absolutely necessary.   Originally ,   Jiu Ye didn’t want to get involved in this matter.   After all, he was severely injured and his strength greatly diminished; it was best not to intervene if possible.   However, the Taiyi Immortal Sect had gone too far, and Jiu Ye naturally wouldn’t stand idly by.   At this moment,   in the chaotic void,   the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image disintegrated and vanished.   Tai Su Daojun was so shocked by the sudden scene before him that he couldn’t speak.   He never expected that the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Sword, which he considered his greatest trump card, would fail to kill Jiang Daoxuan.   Moreover—   thinking of the terrifying power of that supreme Dharma Image just now, Tai Su Daojun felt a chill run down his spine.   That level of power was completely beyond his current level to contend with.   But the next instant…   Tai Su Daojun felt a terrifying killing intent approaching, sending a chill down his spine.   ”Not good!!”   The instant the sword light of the Great Dao filled his vision, the shadow of death loomed over him. Without thinking, Tai Su Daojun immediately summoned the Tai Xian Mirror, its Great Dao immortal light suppressing billions of miles of void, attempting to block this deadly sword strike.   At the same time,   he tore through the void, seemingly about to escape.   ”Boom!!!”   The towering sword light cleaved through the chaotic universe, all the Great Dao immortal light instantly extinguished. A sword strike seemingly capable of traversing the river of time broke through countless barriers, arriving before Tai Su Daojun in an instant.   The latter had no choice but to use the Tai Xian Mirror to defend.   A mournful cry was heard from the treasure, followed by cracks spreading outwards, finally shattering before Tai Su Daojun’s eyes.   The treasure crumbled.   Tai Su Daojun suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Ignoring the pain, he seized the opportunity and vanished into the void, disappearing in an instant.   ”He ran quite fast!”   Jiang Daoxuan’s eyes narrowed, but he didn’t pursue.   After all, Tai Su Daojun’s strength was considerable, a half-step Dao Venerable realm cultivator, and the former master of the Taiyi Immortal Sect; he must possess many trump cards.   Severely injuring him was easy, but truly killing him was not so simple.   Therefore,   Jiang Daoxuan wasted no time.   He glanced at the chaotic void, his figure gradually fading, disappearing in less than a few breaths.   …   The Battle of Chaos.   News of it spread like wildfire throughout Dongming Immortal Continent and various forces.   The commotion of that battle was immense; it was difficult for other cultivators not to know.   Especially the appearance of the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image and that Supreme Dharma Image, which was truly astonishing.   Whether it was the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image or that Supreme Dharma Image, their power was far beyond what ordinary Dao Venerables could match.   In this era, those at the Dao Venerable Realm truly stand at the pinnacle.   This is   beyond doubt.   To be precise, regardless of the era, beings at this level are almost always among the strongest.   The Chaos Ruler Realm is ultimately just a legend.   Since ancient times, very few have truly been able to reach this realm.   Of course,   even fewer can reach the Dao Venerable Realm.   But at least in some established forces, there are still some long-lived Dao Venerables lying dormant.   ”Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image…do you know why the Taiyi Immortal Sect is attacking the Jiang family?”   Within the Nine Heavens Alliance, Mu Jiuxiao’s expression slightly hardened.

This matter involves the Dao Ancestor and a mysterious being, so he naturally couldn’t ignore it.

Lu Yuan said in a deep voice, “I heard that this is related to what the Taiyi Immortal Sect has been investigating. The mysterious cultivator they are looking for is from the Jiang family, and is suspected to be one of the Jiang family’s ancestors.

In addition, the mysterious being who previously defeated the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image is very likely the same person as the Jiang family ancestor that the Taiyi Immortal Sect is investigating!”

“Jiang family ancestor!”

Upon hearing Lu Yuan’s words, many Nine Heavens Alliance elders in the hall all had solemn expressions.

The Jidu Jiang family!

Such a power is naturally famous throughout the Eastern Bright Immortal Continent.

As cultivators of the Jidu Immortal Domain, they understand the Jiang family’s strength even more.

Although the Jiang family is somewhat declining now, it is only relative.

Compared to the Jiang family’s most prosperous period, the Jiang family is now much more declining.

But compared to other forces in the Jidu Immortal Domain, the Jiang family is still an unshakable behemoth.

Even the Nine Heavens Alliance is not confident in dealing with the Jiang family.

It is evident.

The latter’s foundation was astonishing.

Mu Jiuxiao tapped his fingers lightly, a faint smile appearing on his face: “So, it seems the Taiyi Immortal Sect has truly met its match.

Elder Taisu thought he could suppress that Taixuan Sword Venerable with just the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image, but he didn’t expect the Jiang family to also have such a foundation.

Not only was the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image destroyed, but I’ve heard even the Taixian Mirror shattered, and he himself suffered severe injuries.

After this battle, the two forces will inevitably reach a point of no return!”

As he said this,

a glint flashed in Mu Jiuxiao’s eyes.

The strength of the Taiyi Immortal Sect was beyond doubt.

Although the Nine Heavens Alliance and the Taiyi Immortal Sect had a considerable grudge, Mu Jiuxiao had to admit that the Nine Heavens Alliance alone was absolutely insufficient to deal with the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

But now, with the addition of the Jiang family, it would be a different story.

However—

despite this

, Mu Jiuxiao did not act rashly.

With the current situation unclear, the best course of action for the Nine Heavens Alliance was to observe and wait.

If the Jiang family truly intends to attack the Taiyi Immortal Sect, then the Nine Heavens Alliance can seize the opportunity to act.

Regardless,

the safest approach now is to remain unchanged amidst all changes.

After all, the Nine Heavens Alliance’s foundation is Mu Jiuxiao’s life’s work, and it cannot be easily destroyed.

“Continue to monitor the Taiyi Immortal Sect and the Jiang family. Inform me immediately of any actions by either side.

Also, it’s best to secretly investigate that ancestor of the Jiang family. This person, capable of remotely defeating the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image without revealing a trace, is certainly not simple.”

Mu Jiuxiao’s expression became much more solemn when mentioning this Jiang family ancestor.

The Dao Ancestor of the Taiyi Immortal Sect was an ancient being who once suppressed an era; his strength had already broken through the Dao Venerable barrier and entered a higher level.

The Jiang family ancestor’s strength was clearly also at the Dao Ancestor level; otherwise, how could he have defeated the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image? If

such a powerful figure were to appear, it wouldn’t just change the landscape of the Eastern Bright Immortal Continent, but could even alter the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Therefore…

Mu Jiuxiao naturally had to be on guard.

Upon hearing this,

the many cultivators of the Nine Heavens Alliance exchanged glances, each seeing a solemn expression in the other’s eyes, before nodding in agreement.

—All

the various forces

, like the Nine Heavens Alliance, were now secretly sending people to gather information on both sides.

The ancestor of the Jiang family, in particular, was of paramount importance.

After all, how could other forces not be wary of someone who seemed to be comparable to a Dao Ancestor?

Unfortunately,

the Jiang family’s lineage was too ancient, so ancient that many forces could hardly truly fathom its depths.

And throughout its long history, the Jiang family had produced some supreme experts who suppressed an era.

Some of these experts perished in the great calamity, while others vanished completely, their fate unknown. Therefore, finding that supreme Dharma form—which ancestor of the Jiang family—was naturally not easy.   But even so,   the various forces had not given up.   If they didn’t figure out who this unfathomable expert

was , they would naturally be restless and unable to eat or sleep.   Especially those forces that had grudges against the Jiang family were now even more cautious.   Meanwhile,   other forces were also watching the Taiyi Immortal Sect.   As the supreme power of Dongming Immortal Prefecture, the latter acted domineeringly and offended many forces.   However,   the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s current strength was still not to be underestimated. Even with Tai Su Daojun severely injured, other forces dared not act rashly.   After all, the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s foundation was never just about Tai Su Daojun.   Their apparent strength was greater than that of the current Jidu Jiang family.   Unless the Taiyi Immortal Sect suffered a severe blow, or another supreme power made the first move, the others would have to plan carefully before acting.
