Terran Guardian - Chapter 3773

Chapter 3749 My mentality is about to explode

The crowd entered the altar in an orderly fashion, their figures disappearing as they went.

Shortly after the last cultivator left, a sudden burst of power erupted, completely obliterating the entire altar platform.   The scene abruptly ended.

Xuan   Tu continued his deductions, trying to pinpoint the final location of the altar array, but with little success.   This situation suggested only two possibilities:   either a powerful figure was concealing the secrets of heaven at the other end of the altar array, or the distance was too great, so great that even a half-saint couldn’t detect it.   But regardless of the possibility, it was not good news.   In that instant,   Xuan Tu’s face darkened completely.   This result   meant that his search for clues to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect was completely cut off.   If before Xuan Tu had maintained a cat-and-mouse mentality, now his mentality was shattered.   There was no other way.   Xuan Tu wanted far more than this.   The Xuan Tian Dao Sect could escape, but it couldn’t escape his control.   Now, such a large sect had vanished without a trace, and even the heavenly secrets couldn’t yield any results.   If he were to return empty-handed, not only would he be unable to explain himself to the Celestial Court, but he would also lose face.   Immediately,   Xuan Tu summoned a cultivator from his army. With a thought, the illusory altar image re-formed.   ”Can you discern the origin of the formation on this altar?”   The cultivator examined it carefully, his brow furrowed. “I don’t know the origin of this formation, but judging from the formation patterns and residual Daoist energy, it should be an interdimensional formation.   However, it’s difficult to deduce which world this interdimensional formation communicates with.   Unless we can find where the formation originated, but as it stands, all traces of this formation have been completely destroyed—”   The cultivator stopped abruptly.   But the meaning behind his words was clear to everyone else.   Xuan Tu’s face darkened, and with a flick of his sleeve, the illusory altar image dissipated.   ”He who hunts geese all day long has now been pecked in the eye by one. No wonder Shen Changqing dared to offend the Eternal Immortal Court; it seems he had already secured a way out for the Xuan Tian Dao Sect!”   Qin Yuan said resentfully. “Why don’t we start with other forces in the Divine Heaven Domain? Perhaps they have information about the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.”   ”No need to waste time. The Xuan Tian Dao Sect is determined to leave; they won’t leave any loopholes. I will speak frankly with the Heavenly Emperor about this matter!”   Xuan Tu took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, then glanced at Qin Yuan and said calmly.   He naturally understood the other party’s purpose.   They simply couldn’t find the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s whereabouts and wanted to take advantage of other forces.   Xuan Tu had no interest in this.   To strike at the weak is not the act of a strong person.   If the two sides were enemies, Xuan Tu would naturally be ruthless, but to attack other weaker forces merely to vent his anger was something Xuan Tu found shameful.   However, he did give Qin Yuan some face and didn’t explicitly state the matter.   Seeing Xuan Tu’s disagreement, Qin Yuan could only nod.   He still had to give face to this Tianxuan Army Lord.   Afterwards,   the army departed.   Several days later, when the oppressive aura of the place had dissipated somewhat, other cultivators appeared.   When they saw the Xuan Tian Mountain Range reduced to an empty shell, their expressions changed drastically.   ”The Xuan Tian Dao Sect is gone!”   ”Could it be that the powerful figure before made a move and wiped out the entire Xuan Tian Dao Sect?”   A cultivator immediately thought of this possibility, but immediately rejected the guess.   Impossible!   It wasn’t that such a powerful figure couldn’t destroy the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, but if the Xuan Tian Dao Sect were truly destroyed, it certainly wouldn’t have left no trace.   Most importantly, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s disbanding of many disciples in previous years was clearly premeditated.   Before this,   no one knew the purpose of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s disbanding of disciples.   But now, they finally understood.   The Xuan Tian Dao Sect had clearly offended some unapproachable force, and ultimately had no choice but to abandon the Divine Heaven Domain.   ”If the Xuantian Dao Sect leaves, wouldn’t this mountain range be…”   A cultivator’s eyes burned with desire, his heart stirring with anticipation.   The Xuantian Dao Sect’s location was considered one of the most prestigious blessed lands in the Divine Heaven Domain, naturally attracting the attention of other cultivators.   However,   despite their interest, no one took any significant action.   Although the Xuantian Dao Sect had departed, who could guarantee they wouldn’t return? Moreover, many cultivators were eyeing this blessed land, and anyone who made the first move would become the target of everyone’s ire.   …   In just a few days, news of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s departure spread like wildfire throughout the entire Divine Heaven Domain.   Every force that learned of this was shocked.   Many cultivators went to the Xuantian Mountain Range to verify the truth.   When they saw the Xuantian Mountain Range, devoid of any Xuantian Dao Sect members and allowing other cultivators to roam freely, the arriving cultivators fell silent.   Just then,   the void above the Xuantian Mountain Range tore open, and a figure appeared.   ”The Xuantian Dao Sect has truly left!”   Bai Lianchuan looked at the mountains below, his divine sense sweeping across everything, but he found no trace of the Xuantian Dao Sect. His expression was somewhat subtle.   The Xuantian Dao Sect was gone!   This was something he hadn’t anticipated.   Not long after,   Bai Lianchuan also departed.   With the Xuantian Dao Sect gone, some of the Heavenly Forging Mansion’s original plans had to be changed.   The reason the Heavenly Forging Mansion had remained in the Divine Heaven Domain was because of the Xuantian Dao Sect.   After all,   with the Xuantian Dao Sect present, the Divine Heaven Domain was destined to advance to a top-tier Immortal Domain.   But now,   without the Xuantian Dao Sect, the Divine Heaven Domain’s strength had plummeted, making advancement to a top-tier Immortal Domain impossible.   However—   advancing to a high-level Immortal Domain wasn’t entirely impossible given the Divine Heaven Domain’s current strength.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the Heavenly Forging Palace’s original plans had to be changed.

Some things needed to be fought for, and some things needed to be relinquished.

After Bai Lianchuan left, the other cultivators around the Xuan Tian Mountains secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“The Heavenly Forging Palace has arrived too!”

“In the past, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect suppressed the Divine Heaven Domain, making it difficult for other forces to rise. Now that the Xuan Tian Dao Sect has left, the vast Divine Heaven Domain will likely be ruled by the Heavenly Forging Palace—”

A cultivator’s eyes subtly shifted as he looked in the direction Bai Lianchuan had disappeared, already forming some thoughts.

Conflict within a Celestial Domain was unavoidable.

In the past, with the Xuan Tian Dao Sect suppressing the situation, the Divine Heaven Domain naturally experienced little turmoil.

But now it was different.

News of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s departure had spread, and the Divine Heaven Domain was bound to fall into turmoil.

Looking across the entire Celestial Domain, only the Heavenly Forging Palace had the qualifications to quell the unrest.

Such a force

might just be the next overlord of the Divine Heaven Domain.

At this time, if one could be the first to pledge allegiance to the Heavenly Forging Palace, one might even gain some benefits.

Conversely,

if the Heavenly Forging Palace were to claim the title of overlord of the Divine Heaven Domain, and their own forces remained completely inactive, they might become targets for purges.

These thoughts arose, and many cultivators quietly departed from the Xuan Tian Mountains.

The winds of change in the Divine Heaven Domain had shifted, and some things naturally had to change as well.

…

Sword Bright Dao Sect.

Inside the sect’s Immortal Hall.

Zhuo Wuyai’s expression was solemn, his brows furrowed: “The Xuan Tian Dao Sect has left. Do we now know the origin of that force from not long ago?”

His words fell.

The elders exchanged glances.

Finally, Han Jiang shook his head and said, “That force seemed to appear out of thin air. Although the sect has tried its best to investigate, we haven’t received any news.

However, the fact that the Xuan Tian Dao Sect left before this force even arrived is enough to demonstrate its terrifying power.

I suspect that this force probably comes from those Supreme Immortal Domains!”

The moment the words “Supreme Immortal Domains” were uttered, the atmosphere in the hall instantly froze.

The Divine Wind Continent has 1,800 Immortal Domains.

Only the top one hundred Immortal Domains can be called Supreme Immortal Domains.

These domains are teeming with powerful figures; any one of them could easily annihilate the Sword Bright Dao Sect.

If the army of that force originated from a Supreme Immortal Domain, that would be plausible.

It must be understood that

the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s strength is extraordinary. Although it is indeed a mid-tier Immortal Domain sect, it possesses more than one Half-Saint, and the Xuan Tian Sword Master is also present. Such strength is not to be underestimated even among the top-tier Immortal Domains.

Yet, even so, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect dares not directly confront that force. Therefore

, it would be understandable that the opponent originated from a Supreme Immortal Domain.

Not long after Han Jiang finished speaking, another elder spoke up: “Sect Master, now that the Xuan Tian Dao Sect has departed, and the fate of the Xuan Tian Sword Master is unknown, our Sword Bright Dao Sect must also make plans as soon as possible.

After all, the current situation in the Divine Heaven Domain is not peaceful. Although our sect’s strength is not weak, self-preservation will certainly not be easy!”

Hearing this,

Zhuo Wuyai’s brows furrowed even more.   Zhuo Wuyai

was well aware of the current situation facing the Sword Bright Dao Sect.

Furthermore, he understood that   regardless of whether Shen Changqing was dead or alive, the other party probably wouldn’t return to the Divine Heaven Domain, since the Profound Heaven Dao Sect had already departed.   And those forces, seemingly from a supreme immortal domain, were not so easily dealt with.   Thinking of this,   Zhuo Wuyai exhaled a breath of turbid air, his expression becoming resolute: “Elder Han, prepare a generous gift and represent the Sword Bright Dao Sect to make a trip to the Heavenly Forging Mansion!”   ”Sect Master intends to win over the Heavenly Forging Mansion…”   Han Jiang’s words were somewhat euphemistic, not directly mentioning submission.   Zhuo Wuyai shook his head and smiled bitterly: “The Divine Heaven Domain is extraordinary now, with many Immortal Emperor realm experts. Our Sword Bright Dao Sect possesses a blessed land, and I suspect many cultivators are already secretly watching us.   Currently, among all the forces in the Divine Heaven Domain, the Heavenly Forging Mansion is the strongest, and it has also submitted to the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, so it has some connection with our Sword Bright Dao Sect.   At this time, our sect can only protect itself by relying closely on the Heavenly Forging Mansion!”   Hearing this…   The other elders all nodded.   Surrendering to the Heavenly Forging Palace   was the best course of action.   After all, the Heavenly Forging Palace’s strength was not to be underestimated. As a once-powerful force in the top immortal realms, even in its current decline, its foundation was still considerable.   If they could gain the Heavenly Forging Palace’s protection, no one in the Divine Heaven Domain would dare to provoke the Sword Bright Dao Sect.   Immediately,   Han Jiang followed Zhuo Wuyai’s instructions, carrying a generous gift, and headed straight for the Heavenly Forging Palace.
