Terran Guardian - Chapter 3970

Chapter 3945 Physical Body Perfection

“The Chaotic Heavenly Dao!!!”

The Dao Ancestor looked at the still incompletely healed void, his face contorted with rage. His Dao Heart, cultivated over many years, was nearly broken.

The third time!

Three heavenly punishments in a short time.

That was bad enough. But

this last time, he hadn’t even made a single move, merely sending down a Dharma Image, yet the heavenly punishment descended instantly, catching him completely off guard.

How

could the Dao Ancestor not be furious?

But even his anger was useless.

He knew that his repeated transgressions across the Chaos in a short period had attracted the attention of the Heavenly Dao, hence the frequent heavenly punishments.

To avoid attracting the Heavenly Dao’s attention, he could only recuperate for a while and wait for a better opportunity.

Suppressing his anger, the Dao Ancestor could only rebuild the Immortal Palace.

With a thought, Chaotic Primordial Stones appeared, and the Great Dao Immortal Fire tempered the void, beginning the reconstruction of the Immortal Palace.

…

The matter of the Jidu Jiang family

was causing a great uproar in the Eastern Bright Immortal Continent.

The Xingdao Alliance’s cultivators are now scattered throughout the Eastern Bright Immortal Continent, and news of the battle reached Shen Changqing immediately.

When he learned of the Chaos War, he was secretly shocked.

“The Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image… the Jiang family of Jidu!”

“It seems Senior Jiuye has a close relationship with the Jiang family!”

Shen Changqing’s eyes narrowed slightly.

From the news from the Xingdao Alliance, he knew that the Tai Su Daojun hadn’t attacked the Jiang family of Jidu without reason, but rather targeted a certain ancestor of the Jiang family.

And behind this, the Dao Ancestor was directing him.

Connecting these pieces of information was easy.

In just an instant, Shen Changqing understood the relationship between the two.

Without a doubt,

Jiuye was the ancestor of the Jiang family of Jidu.

In other words,

the Jiang family of Jidu was a descendant of that person.

Otherwise, the Taiyi Immortal Sect wouldn’t have acted directly.

Unfortunately, the Jiang family of Jidu was not a pushover; an ancient Dao Venerable intervened, directly suppressing the Tai Su Daojun and forcing him to flee in disarray.

Even

the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image was destroyed.

In this battle, the Taiyi Immortal Sect clearly suffered a great loss.

As for the Jidu Jiang family, Shen Changqing’s initial understanding was limited, but after the Xingdao Alliance gained a deeper understanding, he discovered the unfathomable depth of this power.

Their lineage was ancient!

Even the Taiyi Immortal Sect could hardly match it.

Their most prosperous period was far beyond what the current Taiyi Immortal Sect could compare to.

“Currently, there are rumors that the Jiang family has declined, but this is only relative to their former peak. That Taixuan Sword Venerable was able to suppress Taisu Daojun, his strength is unfathomable.

Perhaps there are other forces lurking behind them!”

Shen Changqing’s eyes deepened as he thought this.

This was naturally good news for him.

After all, he and Jiuye were now on the same boat; if the other party’s whereabouts were exposed, he would be in big trouble.

Now that the Jidu Jiang family had appeared, clearly possessing the strength to contend with the Taiyi Immortal Sect, that was even better.

With the Jiang family openly restraining and suppressing the Taiyi Immortal Sect, the Taiyi Immortal Sect would have no spare time to deal with other matters. This would save the Seven Profound Dao Sect a lot of hidden trouble.

Although Shen Changqing wasn’t certain whether the Jiang family could be a match for the Taiyi Immortal Sect, he was certain

that

even if the Taiyi Immortal Sect wanted to destroy the Jiang family, it wouldn’t be so easy.

Such an old and established power had been passed down for countless years, and its resources were unfathomable.

A battle between two tigers would be difficult to determine in a short time. Moreover,   the Jiang family was, in a sense, his ally. After   all   , the connection with Jiu Ye made things much better.   In fact

,   Shen Changqing hoped the Jiang family would win.   However, the Taiyi Immortal Sect had been around for so many years and now firmly held a top position in the Eastern Hua Immortal Domain. It seemed unlikely that the Jiang family could truly suppress the Taiyi Immortal Sect.   With this thought in mind,   Shen Changqing continued to focus on his cultivation.   The struggle between the two forces was not something he could interfere with at this time.   The most important thing right now is to cultivate in seclusion and improve one’s strength.   With a hundred times the time,   Shen Changqing’s strength is steadily improving.   Even if the improvement is slow, it’s still considerable over time.   …   While Shen Changqing was in seclusion, time was also passing slowly outside.   Since the Chaos War, the friction between the Taiyi Immortal Sect and the Jidu Jiang Family has intensified, and the strength and resources of both forces are not to be underestimated.   Now that they’ve truly broken ties, the commotion is considerable.   However, neither the Taiyi Immortal Sect nor the Jidu Jiang Family’s top experts have actually engaged in direct combat; instead, their numerous affiliated forces are frequently fighting amongst themselves.   Meanwhile,   on the Jiang Family’s side,   Jiang Beice, representing the Jiang Family, is traveling to various places, constantly uniting with other forces to try and deal with the Taiyi Immortal Sect.   The Taiyi Immortal Sect is not sitting idly   by either .   Like the Jiang Family, it is also lobbying other forces to join forces.   As time goes on, the conflict between the two forces has spread, and many forces are being passively drawn into it.   On the other side…   The Jiang family was also searching for Jiu Ye’s whereabouts with all their might.   After all, this ancestor’s strength was unfathomable, and if they could bring him back to the Jiang family, their power would definitely increase by leaps and bounds.   At that time ,   what would they fear from a Taiyi Immortal Sect?   Unfortunately, no matter how the Jiang family inquired, all their efforts were in vain, as if the ancestor was not in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, or even in this chaotic world.   Even so, the Jiang family did not give up.   Meanwhile…

The Taiyi Immortal Sect was also searching desperately for Jiu Ye’s whereabouts.

It was obvious to everyone that the Jiang family wanted to bring back their ancestor, and the Taiyi Immortal Sect naturally didn’t want to see that happen.

Even without the Dao Ancestor’s decree, they wanted to find the Jiang family ancestor first and then eliminate him.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that during the Chaos War, the Jiang family ancestor seemingly intervened remotely, suppressing the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image, displaying terrifying power that other cultivators couldn’t handle.

The Taiyi Immortal Sect knew that the Jiang family ancestor’s current strength was definitely not that great.

Otherwise,

why wouldn’t he have shown himself?

That remote attack back then was likely a full-scale attack.

After all, the Dao Ancestor’s decree was to find the ancestor’s whereabouts; if the Jiang family ancestor’s strength was truly that great, then the Taiyi Immortal Sect was far beyond their ability to contend with.

In that case , why

would the Dao Ancestor issue a decree ordering the entire sect to its doom?

But neither the Jiang family nor the Taiyi Immortal Sect, after searching for a long time, found anything.

Even so, the two major powers did not give up.

Moreover,

many other forces were also secretly searching for the whereabouts of the Jiang family’s ancestor.

A mysterious being with unfathomable cultivation—not only did the Taiyi Immortal Sect not want to see the Jiang family welcome back their ancestor, but many other forces in the shadows shared the same thought.

However, Jiu Ye remained in the Cangyun Immortal Mansion, and with Shen Changqing concealing the secrets, the other forces naturally could not detect anything.

…

Time

passed swiftly. Ten thousand years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the first level of the Seven Profound Divine Tower, Shen Changqing sat cross-legged, his aura as powerful as an abyss, a terrifying aura of malevolence gathering together, its blood-red color resembling fresh blood, filled with an ominous aura.

Suddenly,

the blood-red aura surged violently.

Boundless malevolent energy, as if drawn by something, rushed madly towards Shen Changqing.

A torrent of malevolent energy gathered around him. Shen Changqing’s physical body and immortal bones were inscribed with the rules of the Great Dao, his aura ancient and vast, his blood and qi as clear as jade, flowing slowly through his body like spiritual marrow.

The next moment

, he opened his eyes, his previously cross-legged body suddenly shifting, his blood and qi boiling violently, a power more overwhelming than ever before welling up from the depths of his flesh.

“Boom!”

The void hummed, and the immortal palace trembled.

All his immortal bones were imbued with a blood-red, malevolent light, and boundless malevolent energy soared into the sky, as if a vast, desolate landscape were appearing, with a blood-red sun hanging high, millions of immortal corpses lying in wait, an intensely tragic killing intent capable of distorting the void.

But in the next instant,

all these phenomena vanished.

All the malevolent energy disappeared into thin air, as if it had never existed.

Shen Changqing calmed his mind, examining himself internally. His physical body had undergone a complete transformation compared to before.

Most importantly—

his power had increased.

“The first stage of the Sainthood Scripture has been completed, my physical strength is comparable to 100,000 Chaos Elephants!”

“With my current strength, even without using any special methods, just relying on my physical strength, I think there are few among the First Tribulation Half-Saints who can threaten me!”

Shen Changqing felt his own power; compared to before, his strength had increased many times over.

And the First Tribulation Half-Saint he mentioned was naturally not just an ordinary First Tribulation Half-Saint.

Even if it were an Immortal Emperor ranked in the top ten of the Immortal Emperor Stele, who had attained immortality with unparalleled foundations, Shen Changqing was confident that he could completely deal with them with his physical strength at the First Tribulation Half-Saint realm.

You must know that

the top ten experts of the Immortal Emperor Stele, even if they haven’t stepped into the Half-Saint realm, are qualified to compete with Half-Saints.

If such beings were to reach the pinnacle of immortality and step into the Half-Saint level, their strength would naturally be incomparable to ordinary Half-Saints.

But even against experts of this level, Shen Changqing had enough confidence.

This

was the change brought about by the completion of the first stage of the Sainthood Scripture of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture.

The power of 100,000 Chaotic Divine Elephants!

Compared to before, it is naturally much stronger.

Most importantly,

with the completion of the first level of the Sainthood Scripture, Shen Changqing’s physical defense has also greatly improved.

If his original physical defense was only equivalent to an ordinary first-grade innate imperial weapon, then now, even without the Xuanse Battle Armor forged into his body, his physical body is already comparable to a top-tier first-grade innate imperial weapon.

Below the Second Tribulation Half-Saint level, unless wielding a supreme treasure, there is no possibility of breaking through his defense.

Unbreakable defense!

That means being invincible from the start.

However,

despite this,

Shen Changqing has no thoughts of complacency.

“The first level of the Sainthood Scripture is just the beginning. If I can cultivate all nine levels of the Sainthood Scripture of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture to perfection, then my strength in this era will truly be qualified to challenge those top experts!” The ninth level of the Sainthood Scripture completed!

His

physical body comparable to a top-tier ninth-grade innate imperial weapon!

With the use of Creation Treasures, Shen Changqing believes that he will not fear even facing a Saint directly.

However, we are still far from reaching that point. (End of Chapter)
