Terran Guardian - Chapter 3776

Chapter 3752 The Great Dao Contract

“Boom!!”

Immortal light shot into the sky, shaking the heavens and earth. The entire Heavenly Dao Immortal City trembled, and powerful figures cast their gazes, their eyes filled with shock.

“Ancient Immortal Stele!”

“Another genius has ascended this Heavenly Dao Stele!”

“Ji Yang… Xuan Tian Dao Sect… It’s actually someone from the Xuan Tian Dao Sect again!?”

When the other powerful figures saw the name on the Ancient Immortal Stele, their expressions froze.

Ji Yang!

This name revived their long-dormant memories.

A genius who had once entered the third rank of the Immortal King Stele had now gone even further, entering the Ancient Immortal Stele.

More importantly,

on the Ancient Immortal Stele,

Ji Yang’s name hung high, seemingly capable of suppressing everything.

“First on the Ancient Immortal Stele!!”

“First there was Gu Qingyang, who was ninth on the Ancient Immortal Stele, and now there’s Ji Yang, who is first on the Ancient Immortal Stele. What kind of background does the Xuan Tian Dao Sect have to possess such a foundation?!”

The geniuses on the Ancient Immortal Stele were rare, even for many powerful forces.

Let alone the top ten geniuses of the Ancient Immortal Stele, even those ranked at the bottom would find it difficult to obtain a spot.

Otherwise,

there wouldn’t be the scene of cultivators from the Great Wilderness Immortal Court and the Eternal Immortal Court vying for a place on the Ancient Immortal Stele.

Ultimately,

it’s because the Ancient Immortal Stele is so difficult to enter.

A ninth-ranked Gu Qingyang was already astonishing enough; now, a genius had emerged to claim the top spot, which was even more shocking.

In an instant,

all sides were active, and many cultivators looked at Ji Yang with greedy eyes.

This was the number one on the Ancient Immortal Stele!

If they could kill him and obtain his ranking, it would be an incredible opportunity.

However, this thought was quickly suppressed.

The opportunity to be number one on the Ancient Immortal Stele was indeed tempting, but the problem was that Ji Yang was from the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

No one would forget the scene on the Immortal Dao Platform.

The sixth prince of the Eternal Immortal Court, the dignified Prince Qin, was killed by Gu Qingyang on the Immortal Dao Platform, enough to make other cultivators wary.

It was obvious.

Trying to subdue someone based solely on their background was utterly impossible.

But when it came to competing based on strength—

seeing the name prominently displayed on the Ancient Immortal Stele, they immediately dismissed any such thoughts.

First on the Ancient Immortal Stele!

The prestige of that title was self-evident.

In terms of pure strength, they were no match for Ji Yang, unless they used other hidden resources.

“First on the Ancient Immortal Stele!”

Shen Changqing’s eyes flickered as he looked at the name on the stele. To be honest, he hadn’t expected Ji Yang to reach such a level in one step.

But considering the other’s current cultivation level, he felt relieved.

Being first on the Ancient Immortal Stele was indeed astonishing.

But with Ji Yang’s cultivation level, reaching that level wasn’t so difficult to comprehend.

Just then,

a young cultivator stepped through the air and appeared directly in front of Ji Yang. His appearance bore a five-point resemblance to Luo Jiuqing, but his aura was as steady as an abyss, and his gaze towards Ji Yang carried a hint of aggressiveness.

“Luo Jiuyuan!”

“The Third Prince of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court—”

“It seems this one is going to make a move against Ji Yang and seize the opportunity to be number one on the Ancient Immortal Stele!!”

Upon seeing the young man appear, some cultivators were shaken and instantly recognized him.

Shen Changqing, hearing the surrounding cultivators’ words, also focused his gaze on Luo Jiuyuan.

The Third Prince of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court! A

man of high status!

Shen Changqing could tell that Luo Jiuyuan’s strength was not simple; his aura was as deep as an abyss, at least comparable to the experts on the Ancient Immortal Stele.

But the problem was that he hadn’t left his name on the Ancient Immortal Stele.

That left only one possibility.

Luo Jiuyuan had immense ambition and looked down on ordinary rankings on the Ancient Immortal Stele.

Now that Ji Yang had reached the top of the Ancient Immortal Stele, it was natural that he couldn’t hold back.

Number one on the Ancient Immortal Stele!

There was no greater opportunity than this.

Sure enough.

As Shen Changqing’s thoughts settled, Luo Jiuyuan slowly spoke: “Number one on the Ancient Immortal Stele, dare you enter the Immortal Dao Platform for a battle? Our lives are irrelevant!”

“Why wouldn’t I dare!”

Ji Yang smiled faintly, hands behind his back, completely disregarding Luo Jiuyuan. Just as the latter’s face broke into a smile, his tone shifted again.

“On the Immortal Dao Platform, life and death will be decided. You and I will each win through our own strength. This is a Half-Saint Dao Contract, the contents of which state that neither of us may use any external force, otherwise we will suffer the backlash of the contract and die.

If you are willing to sign it, then I can agree to this battle!”

These words

caused the smile on Luo Jiuyuan’s face to freeze.

He looked at the Dao Contract in Ji Yang’s hand, a flash of anger appearing in his eyes.

A Dao Contract!

How could Luo Jiuyuan not know such a treasure?

It was a contract written by a cultivator using their own Dao power.

Dao Contracts of different levels naturally have different binding forces.

A Dao Contract of this Half-Saint level has immense binding force even for Half-Saints, let alone those below Half-Saint.

Luo Jiuyuan never expected Ji Yang to possess such a treasure.

One sentence from Ji Yang had completely blocked all his escape routes.

Seeing Luo Jiuyuan’s silence, Ji Yang sneered, “Dare not sign? It seems your so-called ‘no questions asked’ is nothing but relying on external forces to act arrogantly.

With such strength, you dare to covet the opportunities on the Ancient Immortal Stele? It’s utterly laughable!”

“I am the Third Prince of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court! How dare you be so insolent!”

Luo Jiuyuan’s face was icy, his words filled with rage.

Ji Yang stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes indifferent: “The Great Wilderness Immortal Court is one of the Nine Dynasties. Someone like you, waving the banner of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court, has utterly disgraced it.

If I were you, I would sever my own bloodline to avoid tarnishing the Immortal Court’s reputation!”

“You—”

“Enough with the nonsense! If you want to fight, sign this Great Dao Contract, and we’ll meet on the Immortal Dao Platform. If you don’t dare, then get lost and lest you offend my eyes!”

Luo Jiuyuan’s face was ashen. This was the first time he had been so openly insulted.

For a moment,

Luo Jiuyuan wanted to sign the Great Dao Contract directly, suppress Ji Yang on the Immortal Dao Platform, and show him the true power of the Immortal Court.

However,

Luo Jiuyuan knew very well that without external force, he was no match for Ji Yang.

Both were Ancient Immortals, but the latter was able to reach the top of the Ancient Immortal Stele, possessing extremely formidable strength.

Although he also had the qualifications to ascend the Ancient Immortal Stele, he was only at the level of seventy or eighty at best.

The difference of seventy or eighty names was like a chasm.

Understanding this, Luo Jiuyuan could only leave with a dark face.

The other cultivators, seeing this scene, completely abandoned any remaining thoughts in their minds.

If Luo Jiuyuan had suffered such a setback, they wouldn’t have fared much better.

Especially seeing the Great Dao Contract in Ji Yang’s hand, these cultivators had no ideas whatsoever.

It was a joke.

If they truly signed the Great Dao Contract, who could be Ji Yang’s match?

To put it bluntly, if they were confident in suppressing Ji Yang with their own resources, why would they need to seize his opportunities? They could simply go to the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele and leave their names there.

Their insistence on strength ultimately stemmed from a lack of power; they could only resort to overwhelming force.

Unfortunately,

the Xuan Tian Dao Sect wasn’t afraid of this at all, which was the most troublesome issue.

Most cultivators and forces had weaknesses; the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s desperate approach was truly rare. Trying to subdue them was almost impossible.

Therefore,

after Luo Jiuyuan left, no other force stepped forward, vainly hoping to challenge Ji Yang to a battle at the Immortal Dao Platform to seize his opportunities.

“…

The number one on the Ancient Immortal Stele!”

“What is the origin of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect that allows it to produce so many top-tier geniuses!”

Xuan Tu’s face darkened. Shen Changqing, Gu Qingyang, and now Ji Yang—such a succession of top-tier geniuses from a mid-level Immortal Realm sect was alarming.

Even with the Eternal Immortal Court’s vast size and power, producing a genius capable of reaching the top of the Ancient Immortal Stele was no easy feat.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm was vast!

Cultivators were as numerous as the stars. Geniuses

were countless.

Standing out among so many geniuses was no easy task.

Now,

with the Xuan Tian Dao Sect producing geniuses one after another, Xuan Tu couldn’t help but overthink.

Originally, only Shen Changqing and Gu Qingyang were on Xuan Tu’s kill list, but now, he had to add Ji Yang.

Number one on the Ancient Immortal Stele!

Such a genius would undoubtedly be a hidden danger in the future.

Xuan Tu didn’t want to gamble.

Therefore, if given the chance, he wouldn’t mind eliminating them all to prevent future troubles.

But as mentioned before, this is Heavenly Dao Immortal City, and Xuan Tu can’t act directly.

He needs to wait.

Wait for a truly opportune moment to strike.

On the other side,

the news of Ji Yang’s ascent to the top of the Ancient Immortal Stele spread like wildfire throughout Heavenly Dao Immortal City, even shaking the entire Divine Sun Domain.

For many years,

Divine Wind Continent hadn’t seen a genius of this caliber.

Now, Ji Yang’s ascent to the top of the Ancient Immortal Stele has caused an unimaginable stir.

The name Ji Yang

is now at its zenith.

While the outside world was buzzing with excitement, Shen Changqing and Ji Yang appeared in the Xuan-rank Immortal Mansion.

“To be honest, I didn’t expect you to reach this level, to step into such a realm. The Heavenly Dao opportunities you’ve obtained must be considerable!”

Shen Changqing said with emotion. This disciple has been giving him more and more surprises.

First, there was the third place on the Immortal King Stele, and now the first place on the Ancient Immortal Stele.

However, it’s clear that the latter’s value far surpasses the former.

“The minor completion of the Innate Fire Spirit Immortal Body has saved me a lot of hard work!”

Ji Yang laughed.

He was actually very satisfied with the result of achieving minor completion of the Innate Immortal Body.

Although the top spot on the Ancient Immortal Stele list is said to be blessed with abundant Heavenly Dao opportunities, in reality, a higher ranking only increases the probability of receiving Heavenly Dao blessings, not an absolute certainty.

Achieving minor completion of the Innate Immortal Body is not an easy task.

Now,

with his immortal body stepping into the minor completion stage, the benefits for Ji Yang are self-evident.

The so-called Innate Immortal Body is, in essence, just a cultivation talent.

However, almost all Innate Immortal Bodies are in a newly awakened state, unable to fully explore their potential.

Minor completion of the immortal body is enough to further develop that talent, which is of great significance to cultivators.
