Terran Guardian - Chapter 3969

Chapter 3944 The Statue of the Dao Ancestor is Gone!

Within a small world,

in a celestial palace,

Jiang Daoxuan appeared, seated in the main seat. Below him sat Jiang Beice, the current patriarch of the Jiang family, and a group of Jiang family elders.

Everyone looked at the figure in the main seat with utmost respect.

This was none other than Jiang Daoxuan, the patriarch of the Jiang family

and currently the most powerful being in the family, without exception.

Facing this patriarch, they dared not show the slightest disrespect.

Jiang Daoxuan’s gaze fell upon the Jiang family members, then he shook his head slightly.

“I never imagined that after so many years, the Jiang family would have fallen to such a state, with even a Celestial Emperor serving as an elder. Back

then, to be an elder of the Jiang family, one had to at least attain immortality to even have a semblance of qualification.”

His words

caused many elders to feel ashamed, lowering their heads, not daring to look at their patriarch even slightly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beice was filled with shame: “This junior is unworthy to be the head of the Jiang family, I hope the ancestor will calm down!”

“Calm down is not the answer, I am merely feeling somewhat sentimental.

What in this world lasts forever? Everything is just the cycle of Heaven.”

Jiang Daoxuan shook his head slightly, his expression remaining calm.

As the ancestor of the Jiang family, he had lived for countless years, but most of his time was spent in seclusion, rarely awakening.

Each time he emerged from seclusion, countless millennia had passed.

Whether the Jiang family was in decline or at its peak, Jiang Daoxuan had witnessed it all.

To be honest,

the current Jiang family was not at its most declining.

He remembered

that there was a period when the Jiang family had fewer than two hands to count the number of half-saints who could emerge.

The dignified head of the Jiang family was even limited to the ninth tribulation half-saint realm.

In comparison,

although the Jiang family was also in decline now, it was better than that period.

At least Jiang Beice, the current head of the family, had already entered the saint realm.

At this moment,

Jiang Beice cautiously asked, “May I ask, Ancestor, what is the purpose of the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s visit?”

The other elders also pricked up their ears to listen attentively.

They had all witnessed Tai Su Daojun’s blatant intrusion into the Jiang family’s ancestral land.

Later, Jiang Daoxuan intervened, sending the opponent flying into the Chaos Realm with a single move, leading to a battle there.

Unfortunately,

such a high-level battle was not something ordinary cultivators could approach.

Although they had seen some things, they remained puzzled by the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s purpose.

Jiang Daoxuan said calmly, “The Taiyi Immortal Sect has come for one of my Jiang family’s ancestors, and this matter is related to that Dao Ancestor.”

“Ancestor—”

The Jiang family members exchanged bewildered glances.

To them, Jiang Daoxuan was the oldest living member of the Jiang family.

It was difficult to imagine just how ancient this ancestor was, given that even this ancestor addressed him as “Ancestor.”

Jiang Daoxuan said, “The Jiang family’s lineage spans far longer than you imagine.

However, the Jiang family has suffered numerous calamities, and much of its heritage has been lost, so you know very little about it.

In fact, before me, the Jiang family produced many top-tier individuals.

Some even broke through the limits of this chaotic realm, reaching an unparalleled state.

The glory of the Jiang family during that period is unimaginable to you.

Unfortunately, time flies, and the Jiang family has suffered many changes, ultimately falling to this state!”

Jiang Daoxuan sighed involuntarily as he spoke.

Hearing his words, the members of the Jiang family were all horrified.

If their ancestor hadn’t mentioned it, they wouldn’t have known that the Jiang family had once produced so many top-tier individuals.

“Now, the Taiyi Immortal Sect is acting on the orders of that Dao Ancestor to attack our Jiang family. If nothing unexpected happens, it’s likely due to some grudge between our Jiang family’s ancestor and them.

Our most urgent task is to find our ancestor’s whereabouts before the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

If we can bring him back, the Jiang family will surely regain its former glory!”

Jiang Daoxuan’s words ignited the fervor of the Jiang family members.

However,

Jiang Beice had more to consider.

“How did the Ancestor determine that…that ancestor is still alive?”

“Previously, that old man Taisu used the Dao Ancestor’s decree, attracting the Dao Ancestor’s will to personally descend. It was that ancestor who intervened and suppressed the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image.

Therefore, that ancestor must be alive, and very likely in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

But now the Taiyi Immortal Sect is searching for our ancestor’s whereabouts; perhaps something has happened to him.

In any case, we must bring him back.

This is the opportunity for our Jiang family’s rise, and we absolutely cannot be careless!”

Jiang Daoxuan said solemnly.

Hearing his words, Jiang Beice completely dispelled his concerns.

“This junior understands!”

At this moment, his eyes also became somewhat fervent.

From Jiang Daoxuan’s words, Jiang Beice understood that the old ancestor’s cultivation was profound, and he might have already stepped into the legendary Sovereign Realm.

If they could truly bring him back to the Jiang family, then the Jiang family’s return to its peak would not be just empty talk.

“Furthermore—”

“Send people to keep a close eye on the Taiyi Immortal Sect. This time, Tai Su suffered such a great loss, he will definitely not let it go.

Even the Dao Ancestor behind him might make a move. The entire Jiang family must be prepared!”

The other cultivators naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Daoxuan’s words about preparation.

This matter was only the beginning, and it was not yet over.

If the next step was not handled properly, the two major forces would inevitably clash.

The Taiyi Immortal Sect had a strong foundation, and if a full-scale war were to break out, even if the Jiang family could win, the price they would have to pay would be heavy.

Moreover—

whether the Jiang family could even win was another matter.

Jiang Beice said, “The Taiyi Immortal Sect should not be underestimated. I believe we can unite with other forces to deal with them.

For many years, the Taiyi Immortal Sect has been domineering and arrogant, and many forces have become dissatisfied with it.”

” If my Jiang family takes the lead in forming an alliance, they will likely not refuse.”

“This matter is entrusted to you. However, nothing is more important than welcoming back our ancestor.

If we can bring him back, our clan’s crisis will be easily resolved!”

“I will obey the ancestor’s command!” “

…

Taiyi Immortal Sect.

The atmosphere throughout the sect is extremely tense.

News of the Chaos War has now reached us. Even

with the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image, they couldn’t defeat the experts of the Jidu Jiang family, and their own sect leader was severely injured, along with the destruction of the sect’s most precious treasure.

This is a real slap in the face to the entire Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Many disciples can feel the oppressive atmosphere in the sect, and naturally, no one dares to speak recklessly.

At this moment,

inside an immortal palace, Daoist Taisu sits cross-legged, a vast amount of immortal energy and Daoist rhyme gathering around him, transforming into wispy clouds, making his figure appear and disappear.

After a long while,

the immortal energy dissipates.

Daoist Taisu opens his eyes, exhales a breath of turbid air, and then his divine sense descends upon himself.

“My injuries have recovered somewhat, but to fully recover to my peak condition, I still need to slowly recuperate!” “

His body was shattered.

Although it reformed

, how could such a reformed body compare to his own body, honed over countless years?

Thinking of Jiang Daoxuan’s strength, Tai Su Daojun’s face first showed killing intent, then turned into deep apprehension.

The battle in Chaos

had made him truly realize the gap between himself and that Tai Xuan Sword Venerable.

Without entering the Dao Venerable realm ,

it was ultimately difficult to contend with a true Dao Venerable.

Moreover, Jiang Daoxuan was not an ordinary Dao Venerable.

Although Tai Su Daojun had one foot in the Dao Venerable realm, he had not truly broken through. A half-step Dao Venerable was not a true Dao Venerable, but merely a slightly stronger Supreme.

A difference of one word

made all the difference.

Tai Su Daojun had no complaints about this battle.

Being weaker was being weaker, that was a fact, and facts had to be acknowledged.

But—

acknowledging the facts was one thing

, but to say that Tai Su Daojun would let go of such grudges was absolutely impossible.

In the battle in Chaos, Jiang Daoxuan almost…” It was as if his face had been rubbed into the ground.   He naturally couldn’t swallow

this insult .   Not to mention, the person the Dao Ancestor was looking for was the Jiang family’s patriarch.   Just this point alone meant there was no possibility of resolving their grudges.   Subsequently,   Dao Lord Taisu emerged from seclusion and went directly to the Dao Ancestor’s Immortal Palace.   The Dao Ancestor’s Immortal Palace had now been rebuilt, but the cracks on the Dao Ancestor’s statue remained, marks left by heavenly punishment, requiring time to repair and heal.   Gazing at the Dao Ancestor’s statue, Dao Lord Taisu lit incense and then bowed, hoping to invoke the Dao Ancestor’s will.   But unlike last time,   this time Dao Lord Taisu waited for a long time without seeing any reaction from the Dao Ancestor’s statue.   He gradually became restless.   But   outwardly, Dao Lord Taisu’s expression remained calm.   After an unknown amount of time, just as the incense was about to burn out, the Dao Ancestor’s statue finally stirred.   Wisps of green smoke gathered, and the phantom of a supreme Dharma image gradually appeared.   ”Disciple pays respects to the Dao Ancestor—”   Seeing the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image appear, Tai Su Daojun’s heart finally settled.   But just as he respectfully bowed, before his words had even finished,   ”Crack!”   A deafening thunderclap suddenly rang out, followed by a world-destroying divine punishment crashing down from the heavens.   The enormous Dao Ancestor Immortal Palace couldn’t even withstand a single breath before being completely shattered by this force.   Even the newly formed Dao Ancestor Dharma Image was instantly disintegrated and obliterated.   ”Boom!!!”   The remaining divine lightning of the heavenly punishment finally struck the Dao Ancestor statue, causing this statue, which had stood for countless years, to explode instantly.   Immortal light vanished.   Daoist aura dissipated.   When the heavenly punishment dissipated, only half of the Dao Ancestor statue remained; the other half had been completely reduced to ashes in the heavenly punishment.   This sudden change left Tai Su Daojun stunned, unable to react for a long time.   ”The Dao Ancestor statue… is gone!!” When he came to his   senses and saw that only half of the Dao Ancestor’s statue remained before him, his face immediately turned grim.   Here we go again!   This time, the moment the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma form appeared, it immediately drew down heavenly punishment.   At this moment,   Dao Lord Tai Su seemed to feel the deep malice emanating from the Heavenly Dao.
