Terran Guardian - Chapter 3784

Chapter 3760 The Great Luck Holder

Chaos Dao Palace.

The fortune here trembled

, sometimes plummeting, sometimes reaching its peak, like the ebb and flow of the tide.

Simultaneously,

within a celestial palace,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s expression shifted constantly, seemingly changing with the palace’s fortune.

In a short time,

his state of mind underwent immense turmoil.

“Shen Changqing—”

“Who exactly is this person?!”

As a powerful figure on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor was naturally well aware of the changes on the stele.

Most importantly,

this change on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele concerned himself.

Not long ago,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor discovered he had fallen out of the top ten on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele, his own Heavenly Dao fortune greatly diminished, even affecting the foundation of the Nine Mountains Immortal Court, which he had painstakingly rebuilt.

At this moment,

he discovered

that an unfamiliar name had ascended to the top of the Immortal Emperor’s Stele, then kicked him out of the top ten.

Although the eleventh and tenth places on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele differed by only one rank, the Heavenly Dao fortune they received was vastly different.

If the tenth-ranked person’s fortune is likened to one hundred, then the eleventh-ranked person’s fortune is at most fifty.

The amount of fortune is closely related

to one’s own destiny.

Whether it’s a breakthrough in cultivation or a matter of chance and misfortune, it’s all influenced by fortune.

Now, his sudden fall from the top ten is naturally hard for the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor to accept.

Just as he was about to send someone to investigate the origins of this cultivator named Shen Changqing, the fortune that had previously disappeared returned, and he rose from eleventh on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele back to tenth.

At the same time,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor discovered that the name that originally belonged to the Great Yi Immortal Emperor had now disappeared.

The disappearance of a name on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele only has two possibilities:

first, the other party has broken through to the Half-Saint realm; second, they have died.

In this era, it’s impossible for an Immortal Emperor to attain the Half-Saint realm, so only one possibility remains:

the Great Yi Immortal Emperor has perished!

Moreover,

if nothing unexpected happens, the other party is very likely to have perished at the hands of that cultivator named Shen Changqing.

After all, the other party had just ascended to the Immortal Emperor’s Stele, and then the Great Yi Immortal Emperor had fallen. The timing was too coincidental; even the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor wouldn’t believe the two were unrelated.

However, for him, the Great Yi Immortal Emperor’s fall was actually a good thing. After all,

if the other party hadn’t died, he himself would have had a hard time returning to the top ten

of the Immortal Emperor’s Stele. The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor knew very well how fierce the competition for the top ten of the Immortal Emperor’s Stele was. If he were at his peak, he might have a chance.

But now,

his injuries hadn’t fully healed, and wanting to advance further was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

“The Great Yi has fallen, and the first place on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele… I wonder what this person’s background is, and what kind of connections he has!”

The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly; the name Shen Changqing was now firmly etched in his mind.

However,

in the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s view,

the other party’s background was definitely not simple.

If he didn’t have enough backing, how could he have the confidence to kill the Great Yi Immortal Emperor?

You must know that the latter was backed by the Divine Sun Immortal Court, not something that ordinary forces could offend.

Thinking of this…

The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s divine sense stirred slightly, and a moment later, he saw Tian Yue Star Lord enter.

“Your subject greets Your Majesty!”

“The Immortal Emperor Stele has shown unusual activity. A cultivator named Shen Changqing has ascended to the top of the Immortal Emperor Stele and is suspected of killing Da Yi of the Divine Sun Immortal Court.

Send someone to the Divine Sun Domain to investigate the situation and find out the true origins of this Immortal Emperor!”

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor said in a deep voice.

His words startled Tian Yue Star Lord, who hurriedly bowed his head.

“Your subject obeys!”

“Furthermore… I need all the current intelligence on the Heavenly Demon Holy Land!”

Just as Tian Yue Star Lord was about to leave, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor spoke again.

But as he uttered these words, the killing intent in his eyes almost materialized.

The Heavenly Demon Holy Land!

Shen Hong!

The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor had already etched this name deep into his memory; no matter how many billions of years had passed, he would never forget it.

His current predicament was entirely due to them.

If not for the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, he would never have fallen to this state.

Currently,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor doesn’t even dare to step into the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, only daring to carve out a Dao Palace in the Chaos to rebuild the foundation of the Nine Mountains Immortal Court.

But how can the rebuilt Nine Mountains Immortal Court compare to what it once was?

To put it bluntly,

the current Nine Mountains Immortal Court isn’t even worthy of carrying the shoes of the former Nine Mountains Immortal Court.

The difference between the two is at least tenfold.

To truly develop the Nine Mountains Immortal Court again and restore it to its former peak is not something that can be done overnight.

Therefore,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s resentment towards the Heavenly Demon Holy Land is understandable.

But he also has to admit that

he is no match for that Heavenly Demon Holy Lord.

Unless he breaks through to the Half-Saint Realm, even if his strength is fully restored within the Immortal Emperor Realm, it will be the same.

Only by breaking through to the Half-Saint Realm and suppressing with absolute cultivation can he have a chance of victory.

As for whether that Heavenly Demon Holy Lord will also break through to the Half-Saint Realm, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor is not too worried.

The Half-Saint Realm is not so easy to break through.

If breaking through were easy, why would he have wasted so many years, unable to reach this level?

That Heavenly Demon Saint Lord only recently broke through to the Immortal Emperor realm; the possibility of him breaking through to the Half-Saint realm in the next great tribulation is extremely slim.

Of course,

even if he could break through, in the eyes of the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor, he wouldn’t be able to break through as quickly as he himself.

After all, the next great tribulation is fast

approaching. The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor simply didn’t believe that he could accumulate the necessary foundations for a Half-Saint realm and find his own path to immortality in such a short time.

Upon hearing this,

Tianyue Xingjun naturally accepted the order and withdrew.

Then, Jiushan Immortal Emperor closed his eyes again, silently cultivating to recover from his injuries.

…

On the other side,

a celestial boat traversed the void.

Ji Yang and the others appeared there.

Looking at the constantly disappearing stars around them, a cultivator couldn’t help but ask, “Peak Master Ji, where are we headed now?”

“To a sufficiently safe place!”

Ji Yang glanced at the other person, saying nothing more.

Seeing Ji Yang’s silence, the cultivator had no choice but to suppress his curiosity.

The other cultivators from the Xuantian Dao Sect also wanted to ask, but seeing the current situation, they all remained silent.

They understood Ji Yang’s caution.

After all, not long ago, that sect leader had exposed more than a dozen traitors. Although everyone was currently under a restriction, theoretically there was no possibility of betrayal, being cautious was never wrong.

At this moment,

Yu Ren asked with a worried expression, “What is the situation with Master?”

Upon hearing this,

everyone fell silent again.

Ji Yang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Master never does anything without certainty. Since he’s acting this way, he must have his reasons.

Besides, we both have restrictions placed on us by Master. If Master were to perish, these restrictions would naturally dissipate. The

fact that these restrictions haven’t changed at all is enough to show that Master is safe and sound!”

These words brought a slight relief to Yu Ren and the others.

Concern can cloud judgment!

They weren’t unaware of these simple truths; they just hadn’t thought of them at the moment.

On the other side,

Ji Yang looked at the changing void before him, his expression calm.

The myriad universes!

This was the purpose of their trip.

Now that the Xuan Tian Dao Sect had caused such a commotion in the Divine Sun Domain and offended so many forces, even going to other immortal states wasn’t necessarily safe. Only returning to the myriad universes was the safest option.

The information left by Shen Changqing on the jade talisman also pointed directly to the myriad universes.

The latter had now advanced to a third-tier universe, large enough to accommodate Immortal Emperors. Their journey to such a place wasn’t entirely a bad thing.

You must know…

The Heavenly Dao of a third-order universe possesses strength at least equivalent to a Seventh Tribulation Half-Saint.

With such Heavenly Dao protection, they are safe enough in a certain sense.

Most importantly,

the Chaos is vast.

There are billions upon billions of microcosms within it.

Even with Ji Yang’s inherited memories from his previous life, he doesn’t know exactly how many microcosms exist within the Chaos.

Therefore, their journey to the myriad universes is naturally very safe.

Even if forces like the Eternal Immortal Court are powerful, finding the myriad universes is not easy.

Just then,

Ye Yun, who had been silent, suddenly frowned and said, “Junior Brother Ji, let’s change direction!”

“What do you mean, Senior Brother?”

“It’s hard to say, but I have a bad feeling. Changing direction is better. After all, the Chaos is full of dangers, and our strength is ultimately insufficient to handle too many troubles!”

Ye Yun shook his head, unable to explain why.

Ji Yang remained silent for a moment, then urged the immortal boat to shift its direction.

He chose to believe Ye Yun’s words.

After all, his master had personally said that Ye Yun possessed great fortune.

Ji Yang understood the meaning of “great fortune” all too well.

Not everyone could be called a person of great fortune.

Even many geniuses who left their names on the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele and received the protection of the Heavenly Dao’s fortune might not qualify as such.

A true person of great fortune was a chosen one of their era. Such cultivators might not have the strongest talent, but their fortune was often the best. They could

turn misfortune

into good fortune! They could survive desperate situations!

Even if a powerful expert intervened, suppressing and killing them with absolute cultivation would be difficult.

This was the extraordinary nature of a person of great fortune, completely beyond the measure of ordinary standards.

As for this Senior Brother Ye, Ji Yang knew quite a bit about him.

When he joined the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, his aptitude was inferior, yet he had managed to climb step by step to where he was now, ascending the Immortal King Stele and the Ancient Immortal Stele, his cultivation closely following his own.

To say that he was a person of great fortune was indeed not wrong.

Therefore,

Ji Yang naturally trusted his judgment.

As the immortal ship shifted its course, a terrifying, ancient aura emanated from the void to its left. A galaxy suddenly vanished, as if swallowed whole by some unseen force.

The abyss-like aura caused everyone to gasp.

“A Chaotic Beast!”

Ji Yang uttered, his expression grave.

Chaotic Beasts were plentiful, but one capable of swallowing an entire galaxy whole was at least a half-saint level, possibly even higher.

Thinking this, he looked at Ye Yun with shock in his eyes.

Memories of his past life were nothing compared to the awe of witnessing it firsthand.

Ji Yang had truly seen what a person of great fortune was today.
