Terran Guardian - Chapter 3797

Chapter 3773 The Ancestor’s Identity

. Fuyou Holy Land.

Inside a celestial palace.

Haoyang sat cross-legged, vast immortal energy gathering around him. With each breath, it was like a whale swallowing the ocean, countless immortal energies surging into his body.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Suddenly, his breath caught in his throat.

All the gathered immortal energy instantly dissipated.

Then.

This Fuyou Holy Lord opened his tightly closed eyes, a sharp light flashing within them.

“My injuries have finally healed!”

A faint smile appeared on his lips. Feeling the long-lost power within him, Haoyang was naturally satisfied.

In the battle before, he had suffered severe injuries, and now, after expending countless cultivation resources, it had taken a full ten thousand years to fully recover. With

his injuries healed,

Haoyang immediately emerged from seclusion.

At the same time.

Many powerful figures from the Fuyou Holy Land received the news and gathered in the main hall of the Holy Land.

When Haoyang arrived, all the cultivators rose to pay their respects.

“Greetings, Holy Lord!”

“No need for formalities, everyone.”

Haoyang sat upright on his throne, his palm pressing down in the air. A powerful Daoist aura emanated from him, instantly sweeping across the entire hall.

Every cultivator who sensed this formidable aura showed delight on their faces.

“Has the Sect Master’s cultivation recovered?”

Feng Zhuqing asked with a joyful expression.

Haoyang nodded, a smile playing on his lips: “Indeed, during my seclusion, all my cultivation injuries have been fully healed.

But I wonder, during my seclusion, have any major events occurred in the Holy Land or Guangyu Prefecture?”

“Many minor events, but nothing major. Since the destruction of Yuehua Palace, the Qianyuan Holy Land and the Beidou Immortal Sect, among other forces, have been silently licking their wounds.

Now that the Holy Lord’s cultivation has recovered, should we take action against him?”

As Feng Zhuqing spoke, a chilling killing intent flashed in her bright eyes.

The other Holy Land cultivators also turned cold upon hearing this.

In the previous battle, the Fuyao Holy Land suffered heavy losses, and the subsequent siege by forces like the Beidou Immortal Sect only exacerbated their woes.

This hatred was irreconcilable, and they would naturally be willing to retaliate if given the chance.

Haoyang’s expression was indifferent: “Past grudges must indeed be settled. Issue my decree to consolidate the forces of all peaks. In three days, I will personally lead troops to attack the Qianyuan Holy Land.

Until then, seal off the Holy Land and prevent any news from leaking out.”

The reason for their defeat in the previous battle was that the news had leaked beforehand, allowing the Qianyuan Holy Land to prepare, coupled with a traitor’s sabotage from behind, leading to their predicament.

Now, having learned their lesson, the Fuyao Holy Land must maintain maximum secrecy.

By the time they actually act, even if the Qianyuan Holy Land learns of this, it will be too late to react.

As for whether there are still other traitors or spies within the Fuyao Holy Land, Haoyang had no doubt about it.

He was joking.

It’s impossible for a force with many cultivators to be entirely loyal to them.

Even the most naive person wouldn’t believe such a thing.

Let alone

Hao Yang, who had already seen through the matter.

He knew that some cultivators from the Fuyao Holy Land were secretly colluding with the Qian Yuan Holy Land, but he hadn’t expected that the colluding cultivator would be a Celestial Emperor from the Fuyao Holy Land.

After all, betrayal by ordinary disciples was normal, but a Celestial Emperor was a high-ranking member of the Holy Land, so betrayal was something Hao Yang hadn’t anticipated.

However—

Hao Yang glanced at Feng Zhuqing and Ye Changge. Now, besides himself, only these two Celestial Emperors remained in the Fuyao Holy Land.

To be honest, Hao Yang didn’t know if the two would secretly betray him.

But one thing

he was certain of

was that without sufficient benefit, the two wouldn’t easily expose themselves.

Destroying the Qian Yuan Holy Land would be of great benefit to them.

Therefore, Hao Yang wasn’t worried that the two would betray the Fuyao Holy Land at this time.

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhuqing, Ye Changge, and the other high-ranking members of the Holy Land respectfully accepted the order.

Then…

Hao Yang changed the subject: “What has happened to that person at the Bodhi Immortal Abode these past few years?”

“Nothing… that person has been in seclusion, and with the Holy Lord’s decree, we dare not set foot within the boundaries of that Immortal Abode,”

Ye Changge shook his head and said.

Hao Yang nodded, not finding this strange. For

such an ancient being who had reached the pinnacle of immortality, a single seclusion could last for countless years; ten thousand years was naturally insignificant. However,   this

time he emerged from seclusion, he would definitely pay his respects.   Even if nothing else, it would be good to at least strengthen their relationship.   After the many cultivators had left, Hao Yang headed directly towards the Bodhi Immortal Abode.   Upon arriving at the abode, he straightened his clothes slightly and then bowed respectfully.   ”Junior Hao Yang has come to pay respects to Senior Bodhi!”   Silence fell.   Hao   Yang remained bowed, showing no intention of straightening up.   After a moment, the Immortal Abode’s restrictions opened, and the scene before him vanished like a mirage.   A figure in purple robes appeared beneath the ancient tree.   Hao Yang straightened his back and approached Shen Changqing, bowing respectfully once more.   ”Senior!”   ”What brings the Holy Lord here today?”   ”When you bestowed divine powers upon me, I was in seclusion healing my injuries and had no opportunity to thank you in person. Now that I have emerged from seclusion, I naturally wish to express my gratitude.   Furthermore—”   Hao Yang hesitated for a moment, as if making a decision, his expression hardening.   ”I wish to request that you become the Supreme Elder of my Fuyou Holy Land. The entire Holy Land will be at your command. I hope you will deign to grant my request!”   With that,   Hao Yang bowed deeply.   Shen Changqing, upon hearing this, looked at the person before him, his expression indifferent: “Supreme Elder?”

“Indeed, since ancient times, only after the abdication of the previous Holy Land can a Supreme Elder be appointed in our Fuyao Holy Land.

In terms of rank, the Supreme Elder is above even the current Holy Lord.

Senior, your achievements are extraordinary, and you have resolved the Holy Land’s crisis. Therefore, I have taken the liberty of requesting that you become the Supreme Elder of our Holy Land. In the future, all cultivation resources of the Fuyao Holy Land will be at your disposal!”

Hao Yang spoke generously, seemingly offering up the entire Fuyao Holy Land.

Shen Changqing gave him a deep look, but the latter did not flinch, his expression full of sincerity.

After a long while,

Shen Changqing nodded: “Agreed!”

“With your assistance, the Fuyao Holy Land will surely be like a tiger with wings!”

Hao Yang was overjoyed.

The benefits of such an ancient semi-saint becoming the Supreme Elder of the Fuyao Holy Land were unimaginable.

Although rumors have circulated that Shen Changqing is an elder of the Fuyao Holy Land, a claim the Fuyao Holy Land has never denied,

Haoyang is well aware

that a lie is a lie.

This person has no connection to the Fuyao Holy Land; he might act once, but he might not be willing to act twice.

At this juncture, Haoyang naturally wants to seize every opportunity to truly bring this person into the Fuyao Holy Land’s camp.

In his view

, failure would not cause the Fuyao Holy Land any loss; at worst, it would simply maintain the existing situation.

But success would be nothing short of a complete transformation for the Fuyao Holy Land.

As for the slight price to pay, it is insignificant in Haoyang’s eyes.

To be precise,

compared to the Fuyao Holy Land gaining an additional half-saint, this price is negligible.

After all, with such a powerful figure in charge, the Fuyao Holy Land could easily dominate the entire Guangyu Prefecture in one step; at that time, the Holy Land would certainly not lack cultivation resources.

Even if most of the cultivation resources fall into Shen Changqing’s hands, the remaining cultivation resources will definitely be more than before.

Of course,

the most important point

is the change in the status of the Fuyao Holy Land.

In the Star Luo Immortal Domain, Immortal Emperor forces are a dime a dozen and not worth mentioning.

But if it is a Longevity force, it is different.

Any Longevity force is enough to be among the top in the Star Luo Immortal Domain.

If the Fuyao Holy Land has a Longevity Half-Saint, it can rise to the top in one step.

Thinking of this,

Haoyang suppressed his excitement and continued, “This junior will announce to the world that Senior is an ancestor of our Fuyao Holy Land. After breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, he has been in seclusion in the Holy Land.

In addition, this junior plans to launch an attack on the Qian Yuan Holy Land in three days.

After defeating the Qian Yuan Holy Land, we will hold a Holy Land Ceremony to officially recognize Senior’s identity and announce it to all parties!”

“Agreed!”

Shen Changqing nodded and did not refuse.

Announcing it to all parties and officially recognizing his identity

was not a bad thing for him.

In this way, he could solidify his identity as the patriarch of the Fuyou Holy Land.

This would make his future actions in Dongming Immortal Prefecture much easier.

Although Shen Changqing didn’t believe the influence of the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands could extend to Dongming Immortal Prefecture, his name was still prominently displayed on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele.

In any case, having an extra layer of identity as cover was certainly not a bad thing.

Moreover, the Fuyou Holy Land had been passed down for many years; who could be sure that no patriarch had managed to break through to the Half-Saint realm?

Therefore,

as long as the Holy Lord Haoyang nodded, Shen Changqing’s identity would be flawless.

Although he could have secluded himself in the Bodhi Immortal Mansion even if he disagreed,

considering the future influence from another force, Shen Changqing agreed to Haoyang’s proposal.

Not long after,

Haoyang left the Bodhi

Immortal Mansion. Unlike when he arrived, after leaving, he couldn’t hide the smile on his face.

The Fuyou Holy Land had gained a Half-Saint level Supreme Elder; this was a great joy, how could Haoyang not be excited?

Originally…

He was already confident about attacking the Qian Yuan Holy Land.

Now, with this additional layer of support, Hao Yang’s confidence was even greater.

Soon,

Hao Yang summoned Feng Zhuqing and Ye Changge separately and told them about the matter.

Upon hearing this, both Immortal Emperors were utterly shocked.

Ye Changge took a deep breath, unable to hide his excitement: “Did that person really agree? Is what the Holy Lord said true?”

“I never speak falsely. Since that person has agreed, it cannot be false!”

Hao Yang nodded.

Ye Changge took a deep breath, his expression becoming even more excited.

“Excellent! With this senior joining, the strength of our Fuyao Holy Land will greatly increase. Who in Guangyu Prefecture can rival the Holy Land now!”
