Terran Guardian - Chapter 3817

Chapter 3793 Conferring Titles on Various Parties

The Cangwu Mountains

are composed of numerous mountains of varying sizes.

Among them,

the Thirteen Peaks are the main ones.

These thirteen peaks are named Cangyun, Zhaoyao, Lutai, Qingqiu, Yushan, Zhang’e, Lingyun, Lanyue, Guanri, Tingtao, Duanyun, Luoxing, and Wangxian.

The names of the thirteen peaks have been passed down for a long time, dating back to ancient times.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing had no intention of changing their names.

Among them,

he regarded Cangyun Peak as the main peak of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and built pavilions, towers, and palaces on Cangyun Peak as a symbol of the sect.

At the same time, Shen Changqing also arranged his own immortal residence on Cangyun Peak. Shen Changqing named

this immortal residence

after the two characters “Cangyun”.

He even moved the ancient trees that originally existed in the Bodhi Immortal Residence in the Fuyou Holy Land here.

Although

it is not easy to move such ancient trees that have existed for hundreds of billions of years, it was not difficult for Shen Changqing to do so.

At this moment, within the Cangyun Immortal Palace, ancient trees reached for the sky.

The roots of the Bodhi Ancient Tree completely penetrated the base of Cangyun Peak, even spreading outwards across the entire Cangwu Mountain Range, seemingly intending to cover all thirteen peaks.

The immortal energy of the Six Paths   Immortal Meridians surged into the Bodhi Immortal Tree along its roots, making its branches and leaves even more lush and verdant, showing no sign of weakness or discomfort despite the relocation of its foundation.

…

At this moment.

Cangyun Peak, within the Cangwu Immortal Palace. High-ranking cultivators from the three factions were gathered here. From   the Xuantian Dao Sect, Yang Daoxu, Chu Junhe, and other cultivators; from the Taigu Holy Land, led by Gu Chen;   and from the Tianzong, led by Li Kaiyang. Also present were Gu Qingyang, Batian Shenjun, and other cultivators who had originally joined the Xuantian Dao Sect after ascending to the Upper Realm.   The numerous cultivators from the three factions exchanged glances, remaining silent.   Just then…   A figure in purple robes slowly appeared from the throne at the very top. An invisible aura of Daoist power permeated the entire Immortal Palace, causing all the cultivators to rise and pay their respects.   ”Greetings, Sect Master!”   ”No need for formalities, everyone.”   Shen Changqing’s expression was calm, and as he finished speaking, his gaze swept over each of the numerous cultivators.   Over a hundred high-ranking members of the three major forces were gathered here.   Cultivators like Li Kaiyang and Gu Chen had broken through to the Ancient Immortal Realm and were qualified to ascend to the Upper Realm, so they naturally appeared here.   ”I believe you all understand my purpose, so I won’t waste time with formalities. This time, I am establishing the Seven Profound Dao Sect in the Upper Realm.   All cultivators from the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, Tian Sect, and the Primordial Holy Land who have broken through to the Ancient Immortal Realm and ascended to the Upper Realm will be incorporated into the Seven Profound Dao Sect. Does anyone have any objections?”   Shen Changqing’s tone was indifferent, but it contained an undeniable authority.   The cultivators from the three major forces were all prepared for this, so none of them objected, and they all responded in unison,   ”We will certainly obey the sect master’s decree!”   ”Good, since that’s the case, then I won’t waste any more words. Gu Qingyang!”   ”Disciple is here!”   ”You are the peak master of Zhaoyao Peak, this is the peak master’s token!”   Shen Changqing flicked his finger, and a stream of light landed in front of Gu Qingyang. When the immortal light dissipated, it immediately transformed into a cyan token.   Gu Qingyang accepted the token with both hands and said in a deep voice, “Disciple obeys!”   ”Yang Daoxu   !” “This humble Daoist is here !”   ”You are the peak master of Lutai Peak!” ”   This humble Daoist obeys!”   Yang Daoxu took a deep breath and immediately accepted the order.   Immediately afterwards,   Shen Changqing continued to bestow titles.   Qingqiu Peak—Ji Yang!   Yushan Peak—Chu Junhe   !   Zhang’e Peak—Ye Yun!   Lingyun Peak—Mu Chen!   Lanyue Peak—Mingxi! Guanri Peak—Gu Mingfeng!   Tingtao Peak—Qingxu!   Duanyun Peak—Qingmu!   …   Each peak master’s cultivation level had reached the Immortal Emperor level.   The other cultivators’ expressions shifted slightly upon hearing these names.   ”…Falling Star Peak Master Gu Chen!”   ”Immortal Gazing Peak Master Li Kaiyang!”   Finally, Shen Changqing announced two more names.   These words immediately caused many cultivators’ expressions to change.   Gu Chen!   Li Kaiyang!   If the previous peak masters were all at the Immortal Emperor level, then the strength of these last two peak masters was a precipitous drop.   Both Gu Chen and Li Kaiyang were newly promoted Ancient Immortals, far inferior to the other peak masters by more than one level.   However,   despite this,   no one voiced any objection.   It was clear to everyone that these were quotas deliberately reserved by Shen Changqing for the Ancient Holy Land and the Heavenly Sect.   While Gu Qingyang was also from the Ancient Holy Land, it was important to understand that after ascending to the Upper Realm, he joined the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, and therefore could not be entirely considered part of the Ancient Holy Land.   Now…   Of the twelve peaks of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, ten strictly speaking originated from the original Profound Heaven Dao Sect, while the last two belonged to the Ancient Holy Land and the Heavenly Sect.   Therefore,   the cultivators of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect naturally had no reason to object.   As for the Heavenly Sect and the Ancient Holy Land, they had even less reason to object.   After all, both major powers were well aware that their strength was far inferior to that of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.   Obtaining the position of a peak master was already their limit.   To dream of dividing the twelve peaks equally was wishful thinking.   Moreover,   in the eyes of both major powers, as long as the sect master was Shen Changqing, that was enough.

After all, compared to the successor of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, the Ancient Holy Land and the Heavenly Sect were both founded by him. With this causal relationship, even if the two major forces only obtained one peak position, they would not suffer a loss.

Of course,

the main reason is that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

They are all Immortal Emperors.

They are completely incomparable to them.

Therefore,

naturally no cultivator objected to Shen Changqing’s conferment.

“In addition… outside the Twelve Peaks, I will establish a Hall of Worship—”

Shen Changqing continued, incorporating all the Longevity Demon Gods into the Hall of Worship and granting them the status of worshippers.

“At the same time, Duan Changsheng will concurrently serve as an outer sect elder, in charge of all matters of the outer sect. All cultivators below the Ancient Immortal Realm, unless they have outstanding talent, will be under the responsibility of the outer sect.

Those at or above the Ancient Immortal Realm can be enrolled in the Twelve Peaks as inner sect disciples.

Above the inner sect, a True Instruction will be established, and only those with the talent of an Immortal Emperor can become True Instructors!”

One rule after another came from Shen Changqing’s mouth.

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators’ expressions grew even more solemn.

Those below the Ancient Immortal level were all considered outer disciples!

This alone was enough to raise the threshold of the entire Seven Profound Dao Sect to an astonishing level.

Even cultivators who originally belonged to the Profound Heaven Dao Sect were now deeply shaken.

In the past, in the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, an Ancient Immortal was already qualified to become an elder, but here, it was merely enough to qualify as an inner disciple.

However,

the greatest pressure rested on Gu Chen and Li Kaiyang.

They were the only two Ancient Immortals among the twelve peak masters, their cultivation level completely at the bottom. According to the sect’s current rules, they were probably only barely qualified as inner disciples.

If their cultivation couldn’t be improved, their two peaks would inevitably become a laughingstock.

The other peaks understood this as well, but their attention wasn’t on that; it was on other things.

The inner disciple threshold had been raised ,

but the outer disciples were equally formidable.

This was because Shen Changqing had appointed Duan Changsheng to lead the outer disciples; with the latter in charge, the outer disciples naturally couldn’t be taken lightly.

Who was Duan Changsheng?

He is one of the few remaining longevity half-saints in the Seven Profound Dao Sect!

His leadership of the outer sect would greatly increase its power, something even the twelve peak masters had to be extremely cautious about.

…

“Remember, the Seven Profound Dao Sect has only one rule: no killing among fellow disciples. If anyone is found to be killing their fellow disciples, they will be punished severely—at best, their cultivation will be abolished and they will be expelled; at worst, they will be killed on the spot, their souls annihilated and never to be reborn!”

As the last sentence was uttered, a chilling killing intent permeated the entire hall, causing all the cultivators to tremble.

Faced with such killing intent, even Duan Changsheng and the others, who had already reached the half-saint realm, felt an instinctive pressure.

They were increasingly alarmed by the sect master’s strength.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing waved his hand, and the numerous cultivators withdrew.

The rules had been established, and Shen Changqing didn’t interfere much further, leaving the rest to the peak masters.

In the following time ,

Shen Changqing wasn’t idle either.

He traveled through the myriad universes via array altars, and simultaneously re-established ascension altars in the Primordial Holy Land, the Heavenly Sect, and the Profound Heaven Dao Sect. Any cultivator who broke through to the Ancient Immortal Realm could ascend through these altars and directly enter the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

At the same time,

Shen Changqing also sorted out the numerous immortal veins of the Cangwu Mountains, rationally adjusting the immortal energy to facilitate the cultivation of the sect’s cultivators.

Originally, the immortal energy of the six immortal veins was scattered throughout the entire Cangwu Mountains, with roughly the same concentration everywhere.

However, now,

Shen Changqing used methods to channel a large amount of immortal energy into the Thirteen Peaks and the outer sect, indirectly weakening the immortal energy in other parts of the Cangwu Mountains.

In this way, the total amount of immortal energy in the Cangwu Mountains remained unchanged, but the immortal energy could be utilized more concentratedly, which was more beneficial to the future development of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

However, sorting out the immortal energy of the entire Cangwu Mountains was not an easy task.

Even with Shen Changqing’s current strength, it took him a full half-month to properly sort out all the immortal veins of the Cangwu Mountains.

The moment the immortal veins were unblocked, the entire Cangwu Mountain Range trembled. All kinds of immortal energy seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand, surging towards the thirteen peaks like a long river. The immortal

energy flowed endlessly, surging back and forth.

Occasionally, a little immortal energy dissipated in all directions, nourishing the various parts of the Cangwu Mountain Range, but it had no effect on the thirteen peaks.

When the immortal veins were properly unblocked, the cultivators on the thirteen peaks could also feel the sudden surge of immortal energy, their faces showing surprise and delight.

“Such rich immortal energy! It’s at least twice as abundant as before! With such immortal energy, my breakthrough to the middle stage of Ancient Immortal will definitely be much faster!”

On Wangxian Peak, Li Kaiyang exclaimed in amazement, then a smile appeared on his face.
