Terran Guardian - Chapter 3800

Chapter 3776 The Ceremony of Immortality

“Senior!”

Hao Yang appeared in the Bodhi Immortal Mansion, the murderous and bloodthirsty aura emanating from him not yet completely dissipated.

Shen Changqing’s expression was calm: “It seems this trip has been quite successful.”

“Thanks to the divine power bestowed upon me by Senior, I was able to annihilate the three major forces. Now, the Qian Yuan Holy Land, the Bei Dou Immortal Sect, and the Bi Ling Dao Sect have all been destroyed. Guang Yu Mansion should now respect my Fu Yao Holy Land.

These are some rare and precious materials that I have searched for among the three major forces. Perhaps they will be useful to you, Senior, so I have come to offer them to you!”

Hao Yang’s expression was respectful, and with a flip of his hand, he presented a storage ring.

Shen Changqing scanned it with his divine sense, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

“You did well.”

“It was all thanks to Senior’s guidance; otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Holy Land to annihilate the three major forces!”

Hao Yang said.

These words were not entirely flattery.

If it weren’t for the Vermilion Bird Technique bestowed upon him by Shen Changqing, destroying the three major powers wouldn’t have been impossible, but it certainly wouldn’t have been so easy.

Now that

the three major powers have been destroyed, the Fuyou Holy Land naturally has to make a statement.

Then ,

Haoyang added, “Furthermore, I have already begun arranging the grand ceremony. I will announce it to the world to acknowledge your status, senior.

However, I will need your assistance at that time.”

“Agreed!”

Shen Changqing nodded.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Haoyang didn’t say anything more and then took his leave.

Watching the other party’s departing figure, Shen Changqing looked again at the storage ring before him.

“Nine half-saint level natural treasures! The power and foundation of the Star Luo Immortal Domain are indeed unmatched by ordinary immortal domains!”

This storage ring contains a considerable amount of cultivation resources, including nine half-saint level natural treasures alone.

Although

these nine natural treasures are all ordinary, they are still half-saint level.

At this level, there is actually no distinction in quality among natural treasures.

Even rare and precious materials at the Immortal Emperor level are further divided into nine grades, either low-grade or high-grade.

However, at the Half-Saint level, all rare and precious materials are collectively referred to as Grade Ten, and all Grade Ten rare and precious materials are identical in grade.

Yet, different rare and precious materials have different effects, and their values naturally differ.

For example,

both the Five-Colored Cloud Mushroom and the Longevity Embryo are Grade Ten rare and precious materials, but the latter’s importance far surpasses the former’s.

Furthermore,

Grade Ten Time Sand is far more precious than the Longevity Embryo.

Therefore,

while high-grade rare and precious materials are indeed priceless, the more potent their effects, the higher their value—the difference is astonishing.

Some less useful Grade Ten rare and precious materials might be worth at most a hundred top-grade immortal stones.

But for something like the Longevity Embryo or even Time Sand, no one would be willing to exchange it for even ten thousand top-grade immortal stones.

This

is the difference.

The nine rare and precious herbs that Haoyang presented were of the most ordinary kind, but even so, they were still quite valuable.

After all,

the quality of such rare and precious herbs was what it was.

As treasures used by a half-saint, their lower limit was already an upper limit that many treasures could not reach.

In comparison, the other items in the storage ring were of average value.

However,

some of them were items needed by Shen Changqing to refine the Longevity Elixir, which he naturally accepted.

At the same time,

Shen Changqing’s impression of this Holy Lord of Fuyao improved even more.   Even if Haoyang hadn’t made any offer this time, it would have been normal in his eyes. After all,

he   hadn’t shown his face at all during the annihilation of the three major forces.   Even so   , Haoyang had offered such treasures; how could Shen Changqing not be satisfied?   Again,   whether he needed them was one thing, whether the other party gave them was another.   …   One month later.   The Longevity Ceremony was held at the Fuyao Holy Land.   Haoyang publicly announced that the ancestor of the Fuyou Holy Land had broken through to immortality and returned, holding a grand ceremony to announce it to the world.   This news shook Guangyu Prefecture, and many forces flocked to the scene.   They   had no choice ; they dared not refuse   . The destruction of the Qianyuan Holy Land and two other major forces   a month ago was still fresh in their minds.   If they didn’t come at this time, they would undoubtedly offend the Fuyou Holy Land, and incurring their wrath would be a greater loss.   Therefore   ,   all forces invited by the Fuyou Holy Land prepared generous gifts, and even those not invited came voluntarily.   As a result,   the Fuyou Holy Land became much more lively.   Shen Changqing did not appear in his true form, but only participated in the ceremony as an avatar.   However, no one noticed anything amiss. After all,   the difference in cultivation level was undeniable; even an avatar was not something others could discern.   Moreover,   when Shen Changqing achieved physical immortality, a single drop of his blood was enough to rival the peak of an Immortal Emperor.   With his immortal body now fully formed, combined with the strength gained from achieving physical sainthood, his blood avatar could easily rival some of the later powerhouses on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele.   While this level of strength might not be enough to contend with a half-saint, it would undoubtedly place him among the top tier of Immortal Emperors.   Among the many cultivators present, the strongest was the Holy Lord Fuyou, Haoyang.   However, even with Haoyang’s strength, Shen Changqing hadn’t reached the level required to enter the Immortal Emperor’s Stele.   His strength was still considerably inferior to the powerhouses on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele, so naturally, no one could discern Shen Changqing’s true strength.   Moreover…

As the publicly acknowledged ancestor of the Fuyou Holy Land, an ancient and immortal being, no cultivator dared to look him directly in the eye, let alone examine him with their divine sense.

Thus,

the grand ceremony proceeded smoothly.

After everything was over, the avatar returned to the Immortal Mansion, and Shen Changqing reintegrated it into his body to replenish the lost power.

The higher his cultivation level, the more important each avatar became.

Losing an avatar was no easy feat.

Frankly speaking

, at Shen Changqing’s level, even a drop of his blood was considered a supreme treasure; obtaining it would be enough for an ordinary cultivator to greatly advance their cultivation.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing rarely used his avatars now.

Losing one required considerable time to cultivate it back.

Moreover,

avatars with strength only at the Immortal Emperor level were of little significance to Shen Changqing at this stage.

His current strength allowed him to contend with a Third Tribulation Half-Saint; an Immortal Emperor could be killed with a single slap.

Even those listed on the Immortal Emperor Stele posed no threat to Shen Changqing.

If anyone deserved serious attention, it would likely be only the top three on the Immortal Emperor Stele.

Of course ,

Shen Changqing hadn’t actually fought any of them and therefore didn’t know their true strength.

In short ,

weak opponents could be easily killed without an avatar.

Powerful opponents would be easy prey to deal with using an avatar.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing rarely used an avatar.

—On

the other side.

With the end of the Longevity Ceremony, Guangyu Prefecture completely fell under the control of the Fuyao Holy Land. With

the three major powers destroyed, no force could rival the Fuyao Holy Land.

Even the forces that had previously joined forces to destroy the Moonflower Palace now bowed before the Fuyao Holy Land.

They understood the vast gap between themselves and the Fuyao Holy Land.

Even dealing with a half-crippled Moonflower Palace required a combined effort to destroy it.

The Fuyao Holy Land has now annihilated three major forces, and most importantly, the Longevity Ancestor didn’t lift a finger from beginning to end.

They swept everything away simply by relying on the Fuyao Holy Lord.

This

demonstrates the immense power of the Fuyao Holy Land.

Faced with such a disparity in strength, they naturally wouldn’t naively believe that absorbing the Moon Palace would allow them to directly contend with the Fuyao Holy Land.

Therefore,

the Fuyao Holy Land is now the overlord of Guangyu Prefecture.

Even so, Haoyang remains humble.

Guangyu Prefecture is merely an insignificant prefecture in the Star Luo Immortal Domain; beyond Guangyu Prefecture lies a far more vast world.

There, forces stronger than the Fuyao Holy Land exist, if not countless, certainly not few.

Therefore,

it’s crucial to maintain a low profile.

Simultaneously,

Haoyang seizes this opportunity to vigorously develop the Fuyao Holy Land, striving to restore its strength as quickly as possible.

Shen Changqing observes the Fuyao Holy Land’s actions but doesn’t interfere much.

He spent most of his time in seclusion within the Bodhi Immortal Mansion, occasionally refining a few batches of pills.

…

“Boom!”

As the final tribulation dissipated, a hand reached out from afar, taking three immortal pills into its grasp.

“One pill reaching the level of a fine grade is quite impressive!”

Shen Changqing looked at the three Longevity Profound Pills in his hand, one of which was particularly rich in Daoist essence and contained a surging aura. A faint smile appeared on his face.

Longevity Profound Pills were different from other levels of immortal pills.

Since breaking through to the eighth-tier Grandmaster, Shen Changqing had refined quite a few Longevity Profound Pills. This was the first immortal pill to reach the fine grade, which was a significant breakthrough in some respects.

One leads to two.

Now that he could refine a fine pill, Shen Changqing would have a better grasp of how to replicate more fine immortal pills in the future.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing glanced at the void and then turned and left.

Every time a Longevity Profound Pill underwent tribulation, he would leave the Star Luo Immortal Domain and head to the Chaos Tribulation.

The Tribulation of a Half-Saint is immense, and undergoing it in the Star Luo Immortal Realm would cause considerable trouble.

However, undergoing it in the Chaos Realm would minimize the impact. Nevertheless,

for safety’s sake,

Shen Changqing did not undergo his tribulation in the Chaos Realm outside the Star Luo Immortal Realm. Instead, he left the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm far away and ventured into other unfamiliar star systems.

In the past, this would have been quite troublesome.

But since comprehending the Kunpeng Feather and understanding its divine powers, Shen Changqing found it much easier to venture into the Chaos Realm. The

journey back and forth

actually didn’t take much time.
