Terran Guardian - Chapter 3759

Chapter 3735 Biyou Holy Land

In the days that followed,

Shen Changqing remained secluded, focusing entirely on comprehending the inheritance of an eighth-tier Grandmaster.

His understanding of alchemy also progressed rapidly.

Especially with the Seven Profound Divine Tower’s hundredfold time multiplication, his comprehension speed was astonishing.

However,

as Shen Changqing continued his comprehension,

the Daoist power within the jade slip gradually weakened.

Eventually,

the Daoist power would be exhausted,

rendering the inheritance completely useless.

But Shen Changqing didn’t care. As long as he could break through to the eighth-tier Grandmaster realm before then, that was enough.

The rest was unimportant.

To think he could use this inheritance to leap into the eighth-tier, sixth-grade level was a pipe dream.

From beginning to end,

Shen Changqing’s goal was simply to reach the eighth tier.

Eighth-tier, first-grade!

That’s still the eighth tier.

He only needed to be able to refine the Longevity Elixir.

…

On this day,

the Immortal Mansion’s restrictions were activated.

Shen Changqing stepped out of the Divine Tower space, subtly storing the tower in his sea of consciousness with a thought, then looked outside the Immortal Abode.

There,

an unfamiliar cultivator appeared.

“A Half-Saint of the First Tribulation!”

Shen Changqing frowned slightly.

Although he didn’t know the other party’s intentions, he still opened the Immortal Abode’s restrictions to let the other party in.

After all, a strange Half-Saint’s sudden visit must have a purpose.

This was the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, and he wasn’t afraid of the other party’s ill intentions.

Of course,

the real reason was that Shen Changqing had enough confidence.

A Half-Saint of the First Tribulation posed little threat to him.

Even before he achieved sainthood in his physical body, Shen Changqing wasn’t afraid of a Half-Saint of the First Tribulation, let alone now.

As the Immortal Abode’s restrictions dissipated, the cultivator outside stepped into the Immortal Abode, bowing and smiling at Shen Changqing.

“I am Chi Zhenzi of the Biyou Holy Land. May I ask if you are Fellow Daoist Shen Changqing

, the Sword Master of Xuantian?” “So you are a powerful figure from the Biyou Holy Land. I have long admired you!”

Upon hearing the words “Biyou Holy Land,” a hint of doubt flashed in Shen Changqing’s eyes. After all, there were many forces in the world, and he couldn’t possibly be familiar with every one.

Chi Zhenzi’s smile remained unchanged upon hearing this.

“I have long heard of the Sword Master of Xuantian’s reputation. I have heard that Fellow Daoist Shen not only possesses profound cultivation but also remarkable attainments in alchemy. I have always wanted to pay my respects, but unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity.

I hope you will not take offense at my uninvited visit.”

“You flatter me, Fellow Daoist,”

Shen Changqing said with a faint smile.

Since the other party didn’t state his purpose, he wouldn’t ask.

But one thing Shen Changqing was certain of was that the other party’s visit was not without reason.

On the other side,

seeing that Shen Changqing remained unmoved, Chi Zhenzi coughed lightly and went straight to the point.

“My purpose in coming here is twofold: firstly, to meet a rising star like Fellow Daoist Shen; and secondly, because I have heard that you possess the inheritance of an eighth-tier, sixth-grade Grandmaster of Alchemy.

As I am also an Alchemy cultivator, I am quite in need of such an inheritance.

If you are willing to part with it, I can offer 1,500 top-grade immortal stones!”

Upon hearing this,

Shen Changqing gave Chi Zhenzi a deep look.

“Fellow Daoist’s information network is indeed impressive. I acquired this inheritance from the Tongtian Pavilion through auction, but how did you learn of it?”

He did not deny possessing the inheritance, for since the other party had come to him, they must have sufficient confidence.

Denying it further would be pointless.

Chi Zhenzi chuckled, hands behind his back, “No news in this world is truly airtight. It just so happens that my Biyou Holy Land has some reputation in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, which is why I was fortunate enough to learn of this matter.

Fellow Daoist acquired this inheritance for less than 1,500 top-grade immortal stones. If you are willing to offer it now, you will certainly profit.

Furthermore, I owe you a favor; if you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me!”

Having said this,

Chi Zhenzi looked at the person before him, seemingly waiting for his agreement. After all

, he had already mentioned the name of the Biyou Holy Land and indirectly revealed its strength. Without suffering a loss, the other party would not dare to become his enemy.

However,

Shen Changqing’s next words caused Chi Zhenzi’s smile to freeze.

“This inheritance is also useful to me, so I regret that I cannot agree to what you have said.”

“Do you think the price is too low?”

Chi Zhenzi frowned slightly.

Shen Changqing shook his head: “As you said, fellow Daoist, I am also a cultivator of alchemy, and such a legacy is of great significance to me.

This is not a matter of the quantity of immortal stones, but rather a matter concerning my own path, so it is naturally difficult for me to agree!”

These words

left Chi Zhenzi silent for a long while.

After a moment, the smile on his face disappeared, his expression became somewhat indifferent, and the aura of a half-saint emanated from his body, causing the entire Immortal Mansion’s void to tremble.

“Fellow Daoist may not know the reputation of my Biyou Holy Land. In terms of foundation, although my Biyou Holy Land may not be as powerful as the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands, it is certainly not inferior.

I sincerely wish to make a deal with you, fellow Daoist. If you agree, you will gain the favor of my Biyou Holy Land!”

The implication was clear:

disagreeing would be tantamount to offending the entire Biyou Holy Land.

Shen Changqing’s expression turned indifferent: “Since it’s a transaction, it should be based on mutual consent. Fellow Daoist, please leave!”

“Fine, so-called mutual consent. I’ll remember what happened today. I hope you won’t regret it later.”

Seeing that Shen Changqing was unyielding, Chi Zhenzi didn’t bother to maintain any pretense of politeness, uttering a harsh remark before turning and leaving.

Watching the departing figure, Shen Changqing’s eyes turned cold, a hint of killing intent flashing within them, but he quickly suppressed it.

Then,

Shen Changqing took out the Demon God’s Dao Mirror, and a message was sent out.

A moment later,

the Dao Mirror trembled.

News immediately came back from the Xingdao Alliance.

“Biyou Holy Land… a top power in the Purple Mansion Domain of Yuhuan Prefecture, inherited from ancient times, where a Great Sage once appeared—”

Shen Changqing’s divine sense entered the Dao Mirror of the Demon God, and everything about the Biyou Holy Land was displayed.

The main reason the Xingdao Alliance acted so quickly was that the Biyou Holy Land had a considerable reputation; some acquired demon gods in Yuhuan Prefecture were naturally familiar with such a power.

After truly understanding the strength of the Biyou Holy Land, Shen Changqing’s expression became somewhat gloomy.

“No wonder this person is so arrogant. According to the information from the Xingdao Alliance, the strength of the Biyou Holy Land is indeed not weak. Although it is not enough to compare with the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands, it is not far behind.”

A power inherited from ancient times, and once presided over by a Great Sage, its foundation is not to be underestimated.

Among longevity powers

, the foundation of a half-saint is the lowest, followed by the foundation of a saint, and then the foundation of a great saint.

Although the Biyou Holy Land no longer openly possesses any Great Saints, its power is still not to be underestimated. At the

same time,

he has finally clarified Chi Zhenzi’s identity:

an elder of the Biyou Holy Land,

a Half-Saint at the First Tribulation stage,

and also an eighth-tier, second-grade Grandmaster of Alchemy.

Even without the backing of the Biyou Holy Land, the sheer strength of such a powerful figure, as an eighth-tier, second-grade Grandmaster of Alchemy, is not to be underestimated. Judging

from Chi Zhenzi’s departure, the two sides have clearly broken off relations.

It’s obvious that

Chi Zhenzi is determined to obtain this inheritance.

Even if he were to offer the inheritance with both hands, it wouldn’t necessarily resolve their enmity.

After all,

if relations hadn’t broken down, everything would be fine.

But once relations have broken down, things are a different story.

“The fact that Chi Zhenzi knew my identity and the ownership of the eighth-tier Grandmaster’s inheritance shows that someone from Tongtian Pavilion deliberately informed me.

I just don’t know what role Du Changshou played in this.”

Thinking this, Shen Changqing didn’t bother seeking an explanation from Du Changshou.

So-called rules

are worthless in the face of absolute power.

Tongtian Pavilion claims to be impartial and absolutely uninvolved in any conflict between cultivator factions, but when faced with a truly powerful opponent, they will naturally make their choices.

Shen Changqing wasn’t naive enough to believe that his multiple transactions with Tongtian Pavilion meant they had a close relationship.

Between Biyou Holy Land and Xuantian Dao Sect, their choice of the former was perfectly normal.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing didn’t intend to reveal this matter to Tongtian Pavilion, as it was pointless.

However, the problem with Biyou Holy Land needed to be addressed.

Thinking of this,

Shen Changqing glanced at his remaining essence and then summoned 100,000 Acquired Demon Gods.

Fortunately, the Xuan-rank Immortal Abode was vast and boundless, capable of accommodating not only 100,000 Acquired Demon Gods, but even a million.

Looking at the numerous Acquired Demon Gods, Shen Changqing directly planted Heavenly Soul Curses on them.

“You will cultivate here and must reach the Immortal King Realm in the shortest possible time. At that time, I will have tasks to instruct you!”

“Yes!”

The 100,000 Acquired Demon Gods respectfully accepted the order.

Shen Changqing watched these Acquired Demon Gods refine immortal energy, their cultivation rising steadily, and his expression returned to calm.

The greatest advantage of Acquired Demon Gods compared to other acquired bloodlines was that they had no bottlenecks before breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

As long as cultivation resources were sufficient, reaching the peak of the Immortal King Realm in one step was not a problem.

The immortal energy in the Xuan-rank Immortal Abode was incredibly dense, allowing these Acquired Demon Gods to cultivate rapidly.

In less than three days, some Acquired Demon Gods were the first to reach the Immortal King Realm.

Five days later,

all Acquired Demon Gods had broken through to the Immortal King Realm.

Ten days later…

The 100,000 acquired demon gods had all reached the Immortal King realm, making them practically half-step Ancient Immortals.

The next step was to attempt to break through to the Ancient Immortal realm.

However,

Shen Changqing didn’t intend to let these acquired demon gods continue their breakthroughs. After all, breaking through to the Ancient Immortal realm wasn’t easy; even for acquired demon gods with acquired bloodlines, truly breaking through to this realm would require considerable time.

Then,

Shen Changqing flicked his finger, and numerous Demon God Dao Mirrors fell into the hands of each acquired demon god. Immediately afterward, images of Chi Zhenzi appeared.

“What you need to do is simple: travel throughout Heavenly Dao Immortal City, secretly observing this cultivator’s whereabouts. If he leaves Heavenly Dao Immortal City, inform me immediately.”
