Terran Guardian - Chapter 3820

Chapter 3796 The Propagation of Life

“Chaotic Void Sea!”

“Crossing Calamity Realm!”

In the chaotic void, the Void Demon’s every step was capable of teleporting billions of miles, leaving only a lingering afterimage before dissipating.

From the token bestowed by Shen Changqing, he already knew everything.

Understanding the importance of this trip, the Void Demon dared not be careless.

More than half a month passed.

He finally arrived at the Crossing Calamity Realm according to the token’s instructions.

The Chang Geng Demon God, who was responsible for guarding the Great Sage Immortal Mine, seemed to sense something as well. He took a step forward, his figure disappearing from the Immortal Mine.

When he reappeared, he was already outside the Crossing Calamity Realm.

“I am Chang Geng, may I ask your name?” The Chang

Geng Demon God looked at the Void Demon before him; the aura of the same Chang Sheng Demon God made it clear to him of the other’s origin.

“I am the Void Demon, here on the orders of the Sect Master!”

The Void Demon slowly spoke, simultaneously taking out the token bestowed by Shen Changqing.

The Chang Geng Demon God scanned it with his divine sense, his expression softening slightly.

“So it’s Elder Xumo. This is what the Sect Master needs; everything is here!”

In an instant, he took out a storage ring and handed it to Xumo. Xumo scanned it with his divine sense, and everything inside appeared.

When he saw what was inside, Xumo’s breath hitched.

A large quantity of Longevity Immortal Stones!

And a massive amount of high-grade Immortal Stones!

Even though he had some suspicions before coming here, seeing these things in person still shocked him.

Simply put!

There were too many!

The moment he saw them, Xumo even felt an urge to monopolize them.

However, he quickly suppressed this thought.

Such a treacherous thought was unacceptable.

So,

Xumo suppressed his thoughts, carefully put away the storage ring, exchanged a few pleasantries with Chang Geng Demon God, and then returned to report.

Chang Geng Demon God secretly breathed a sigh of relief and didn’t try to stop him.

Having so many Immortal Stone resources in his hands was, frankly, quite a burden.

Now that he’d entrusted everything to the Void Demon to take back, any problems that arose later wouldn’t be his concern.

—Carrying

a precious treasure.

The Void Demon dared not delay.

He traveled with all his might, heading straight for Dongming Immortal Prefecture.

Fortunately,

there were no dangers or setbacks along the way.

Upon returning to the Seven Profound Dao Sect, the Void Demon’s anxiety finally subsided.

Inside the Cangyun Immortal Mansion,

he respectfully handed the storage ring to Shen Changqing.

“Sect Master, I have fulfilled my mission. All the immortal stones are here; please examine them!”

“Good, you did well this time. “

“It was all what I should do. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave!”

“Go!”

Shen Changqing waved his hand, and the Void Demon respectfully withdrew.

Only after the other party left did he turn his attention to the storage ring.

From the last time until now, all the immortal stones had accumulated for three million years.

Now…

Within the storage ring, there were over seven thousand top-grade immortal stones, and a staggering ten billion high-grade immortal stones.

Even the longevity immortal stones numbered in the millions.

Even with Shen Changqing’s current perspective, such a sum of cultivation resources caused him to gasp deeply.

“Over ten billion high-grade immortal stones!”

“Such cultivation resources are enough to equal the accumulation of an ordinary Immortal Emperor sect over hundreds of billions of years!”

With these resources, the Seven Profound Dao Sect could sustain its cultivation for countless years.

Moreover,

this included top-grade immortal stones and numerous longevity immortal stones.

The former goes without saying, while the latter were top-tier cultivation treasures for ordinary cultivators.

These immortal stones, imbued with the Dao essence of Great Saints, were useful even to half-saints, and their effects on cultivators below half-saint were unimaginable.

With such a batch of cultivation resources, Shen Changqing was confident that the Seven Profound Dao Sect could increase the number of Immortal Emperors more than tenfold before the next great calamity.

“Including the top-grade immortal stones I’ve accumulated, the number has already exceeded ten thousand, but it’s still not enough. Once I reach the semi-saint realm, the demand for these immortal stones will definitely increase significantly.

However, as it stands, the supply of top-grade immortal stones from a single Longevity Immortal Mine is limited to this amount.

To obtain more, I must either find other Great Saint Immortal Mines or compete for a larger share—”

Shen Changqing said calmly.

The former is self-evident; Longevity Immortal Mines are extremely rare, and to date, many innate demon gods have failed to find any trace of them.

As for the latter, to compete for a larger share, one must start with other forces.

If one could eliminate forces like the Void Sword Sect, then the share could be monopolized.

But the problem is, to do so, unless all forces are completely wiped out, any omission will inevitably lead to the spread of news about the Longevity Immortal Mine.

Once news of a Great Saint Immortal Mine spreads, it will inevitably attract attention from all sides.

At that time, it would be asking for trouble.

Therefore,

the latter is not in Shen Changqing’s consideration.

“We can only wait—”

Shen Changqing exhaled a breath of stale air, then shook his head.

…

A hundred years later.

The Seven Profound Dao Sect opened its gates wide.

This news attracted many young cultivators who wanted to join it.

It should be known that Taiyuan Prefecture had a large number of cultivators, with independent cultivators and lower-level immortals being the most numerous. These cultivators and lower-level immortals all hoped that their descendants could join a major sect to seek opportunities.

Although the Seven Profound Dao Sect had not been established for long, its ability to occupy the Cangwu Mountains demonstrated its strength.

Therefore…

With the Seven Profound Dao Sect opening its gates, numerous cultivators flocked to the

sect .

Shen Changqing, the sect leader, also made an appearance.

As this was the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s first recruitment of disciples, he couldn’t possibly remain silent.

Unfortunately,

while many cultivators joined the sect, only a handful could be considered true prodigies.

The two with the strongest aptitude were merely cultivators possessing Immortal Emperor bloodlines.

Such bloodlines were even slightly inferior to acquired bloodlines.

In ordinary forces, cultivators with Immortal Emperor bloodlines might be considered good, but in Shen Changqing’s eyes, such aptitude was merely average.

In fact,

quite average.

It should be noted that

the Seven Profound Dao Sect now possessed not only several innate immortal bodies but also an even greater number of acquired bloodlines; the mere Immortal Emperor bloodline was naturally insignificant.

However, this outcome was within Shen Changqing’s expectations.

Ultimately,

those prodigies with top-tier bloodlines and physiques were extremely rare, and finding them was not easy.

After the first round of disciple recruitment concluded, Shen Changqing handed over the matters to the other peaks and continued his secluded cultivation.

Later,

every 100,000 years,

the Seven Profound Dao Sect would open its gates once.

As the number of disciples gradually increased, the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s cultivators traveled throughout Taiyuan Prefecture, and the sect’s reputation spread.

This reputation wasn’t a sudden rise, but rather a gradual accumulation, so when the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s fame spread throughout Taiyuan Prefecture and even other prefectures, it didn’t cause much of a stir, nor did it seem abrupt to other forces.

Everything proceeded smoothly.

Unbeknownst to many,

in the eyes of other forces, the Seven Profound Dao Sect had become an established power in Taiyuan Prefecture, indistinguishable from the rest of the prefecture.

…

Cangyun Immortal Mansion

. Inside the main hall of the Immortal Mansion.

Shen Changqing sat cross-legged, surrounded by twelve celestial beings slowly floating, like stars guarding and protecting him, their rich Daoist aura flowing and manifesting profound immortal light.

Suddenly…

A subtle aura emanated from within one of the beads, disrupting the balance of the Twelve Heavens.

Shen Changqing opened his eyes, and with a flick of his right hand, the bead fell into his grasp.

His gaze fell upon the bead, and his divine sense instantly swept across everything, revealing the vast universe within his sea of consciousness.

Deep within that universe, a cocoon formed from primordial chaos energy trembled violently, emanating a powerful life force that shook the galaxies.

Upon seeing this,

Shen Changqing’s expression subtly shifted.

“The gestation of life!”

That life force was enough to demonstrate that this universe, rebuilt from destruction, had begun the true gestation of life.

As the ruler of the Twelve Heavens, Shen Changqing was now like the Heavenly Dao of this universe, able to easily perceive the origins of everything.

And as the first life form in this universe, he was destined to be extraordinary.

However,

there was still considerable time before that life form was born.

Understanding this, Shen Changqing flicked his finger, sending a wisp of extremely pure immortal power through the void directly into the chaotic cocoon.

The next instant,

an aura of unparalleled power erupted from the chaotic cocoon.

The being that would have previously required considerable time to fully develop and be born, now nourished by that wisp of immortal energy, was as if it had swallowed a powerful tonic.

In an instant, the chaotic cocoon trembled more violently, numerous chaotic energies dissipated, and cracks gradually appeared on its surface.

One!

Two!

Three!

…

In less than half an hour, the chaotic cocoon was covered in cracks.

Finally,

when these cracks reached a critical point, a deafening sound rang out, and the chaotic cocoon exploded, releasing a terrifying aura that swept across the universe, giving birth to a being with a body ten thousand feet tall.

That powerful aura caused a slight stir in Shen Changqing’s heart.

“Born into the Immortal King realm, interesting!”

But less than a moment after this thought, the creature’s body seemed to transform into an endless black hole, frantically devouring and plundering all the immortal energy in the universe.

A massive amount of immortal energy surged into its body, causing its cultivation to rise steadily.

Mid-stage Immortal King!

Late-stage Immortal King!

Peak Immortal King!

…

After reaching the peak of the Immortal King realm, its cultivation seemed to stagnate, but this stagnation did not last long. An even more terrifying power erupted from it, instantly breaking through the barriers and shackles, stepping into the Ancient Immortal Realm.

“Boom!”

An aura several times stronger than that of the Immortal King realm erupted from the creature, sweeping across the entire universe.
