Terran Guardian - Chapter 3823

Chapter 3799 Taiyuan Dao Master

The vast sea of clouds surged endlessly, the gray-white chaotic currents rising and falling like tides, each wave seemingly bearing the birth and death of a world.

Deep within this boundless sea of clouds, an ancient Dao palace stood majestically, having endured countless ages.

The palace walls showed no signs of wind or frost, yet the low-hanging eaves possessed a weighty weight of eternal suppression, as if even time itself could not leave a trace upon them.

The palace was nameless, without a plaque.

For the Lord of the Great Dao, titles were superfluous.

The palace was empty, with only a Daoist seated on a futon.

His robes were as black as ink, his long hair casually tied back with a wooden hairpin, his face thin, his eyes slightly closed, his aura restrained like still water, revealing not a ripple.

Yet before him lay a broken sword.

The sword, over three feet long, was broken in the middle, the cut jagged, as if snapped by some irresistible force.

The sword’s blade was crimson, not from paint, but from the very depths of its bone, as if something flowed within it, like an endless river, silently surging across its surface without ever dripping.

The killing intent was so intense it was almost tangible.

Suddenly, the broken sword moved.

Not from being picked up, but from its own trembling.

A sword cry, like a raging tide, rose from a low murmur to a high crescendo in a mere instant.

The entire Dao Palace trembled slightly at the sword’s cry, and the churning sea of clouds outside was torn open by an invisible force, revealing the bottomless void below.

Within that sword cry, boundless battle intent sought to break free of its shackles.

It was battle intent sealed for countless years.

And deeper within that battle intent, some other will seemed to roar and howl.

The next instant, the Daoist opened his eyes, glancing at it indifferently.

That single glance froze time itself, and the Great Dao crumbled.

The overwhelming fighting spirit was instantly suppressed, as if struck by a heavy blow, and the sword’s cry abruptly ceased.

“How dare a broken sword be so presumptuous before me!”

With a flick of his jade-like hand, endless crimson light shot from the broken sword, instantly filling the entire Dao Palace, even adding a touch of unprecedented crimson to the Great Dao Cloud Sea.

The Daoist stared at the broken sword, three thousand Great Daos manifesting in his pupils, boundless Daoist power surging forth, as if he were deducing something.

One breath.

Ten breaths.

One hundred breaths.

The Daoist’s brows furrowed slightly, then he let out a soft exclamation.

“I can’t calculate it… Could it be that some being is concealing the secrets of heaven for him!”

“If that’s the case, it’s no wonder. For an avatar to reach this point, I’ll see who dares to oppose me!”

The Daoist’s calm face now held a cold expression.

Then…

With a flick of his hand, a scroll of the Great Dao appeared out of thin air. With a sweep of his sleeve, the scroll seemed capable of containing boundless chaos, countless scenes threatening to unfold, only to vanish again in an instant.

Ultimately,

the vast scene was left blank.

This scene

caused the Daoist’s face to turn utterly cold.

“Very well, very well, you can’t even deduce this from the scroll of creation, Jiang Jiuye. It seems I underestimated you!”

“Since you dare to scheme against me, then don’t blame me—”

He took a step forward, the sea of clouds outside the Dao Palace surging beneath his feet, the chaotic energy retreating like a tide.

He didn’t need to tear through the void, for the void would make way for him.

However, the next moment, the Daoist stopped.

Before him stood a figure in green robes.

The man stood with his hands behind his back, long hair flowing freely, a handsome face, and a faint smile playing on his lips.

He simply stood there, without any unnecessary movement, yet the entire void seemed to revolve around him.

Upon seeing the other party, the Daoist’s face immediately darkened.

“Northern Wilderness Sword Master…you intend to stop me?”

“Stop me? I dare not presume. I merely wish to ask Daoist Taiyuan to halt!”

The Northern Wilderness Sword Master said calmly, hands behind his back.

Upon hearing this,

the aura in the void abruptly froze.

Daoist Taiyuan’s face turned icy: “So, you are the one behind Jiang Jiuye?”

“I do not wish to interfere in your feud with Jiang Jiuye, but I hope Daoist Taiyuan will stop here and not persist in his own way!”

“Since Jiang Jiuye is unrelated to you, then make way.”

Daoist Taiyuan’s expression softened slightly. As fellow Dao Masters, the strength of the person before him was not to be underestimated; he did not wish to fight him unless absolutely necessary.

However,

facing Daoist Taiyuan’s words, the Northern Wilderness Sword Master shook his head slightly.

“Please, Daoist Taiyuan, halt!”

“Do you truly wish to be my enemy?”

Daoist Taiyuan finally erupted in fury

. In an instant, the entire void trembled violently, terrifying chaotic energy transforming into raging waves, as if everything was about to return to nothingness. The Northern Wilderness Sword Master stood with his hands behind his back, his expression unchanged, but the void around him remained calm and unaffected.

“If you wish to fight, I will gladly oblige!”

“…”

Upon hearing this, Daoist Taiyuan’s expression turned icy. He stared at the Northern Wilderness Sword Master for a long while, but ultimately did not make a move. The previously boiling chaotic energy suddenly quieted down, but the aura grew increasingly oppressive and terrifying.

A moment later.

Daoist Taiyuan slowly spoke, his voice filled with endless chill.

“Very well, I will remember this karma, and I will seek revenge in the future!”

After saying this,

Daoist Taiyuan gave the Northern Wilderness Sword Master a deep look before turning and leaving.

He did not engage in combat with him.

In his recent battle with Jiang Jiuye, although he had suppressed and killed him, the price he paid was considerable.

Fighting the Northern Wilderness Sword Master again now would likely yield little advantage.

Therefore,

seeing that the other party was unwilling to yield, the Taiyuan Dao Master had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

Watching the direction the other party had departed, the Northern Wilderness Sword Master’s expression remained calm, though a hint of coldness flickered deep in his eyes, only to vanish instantly.

The next moment,

the Northern Wilderness Sword Master’s figure slowly dissipated.

…

Meanwhile,

within the Cangyun Immortal Mansion of the Seven Profound Dao Sect,

at the moment the Taiyuan Dao Master was deducing the secrets of heaven, Shen Changqing suddenly felt a sense of impending doom.

This feeling was as if some terrifying being was looking down from the heavens, seemingly capable of annihilating him with a single thought.

This sense of impending danger was far stronger than any crisis Shen Changqing had ever encountered before.

Even

the Soul-Destroying Sword in his sea of consciousness trembled slightly.

“The Lord of the Great Dao!”

These four words flashed through Shen Changqing’s mind, and his expression immediately turned grim.

If nothing unexpected happened,

this was the Lord of the Great Dao that Jiu Ye had mentioned, deducing the secrets of heaven, trying to find his whereabouts.

However,

with Jiu Ye on his side, if the other party wanted to deduce the secrets of heaven, then naturally it would be directed at him.

However, although this feeling was intense, it came and went quickly.

Just then,

Jiu Ye’s voice appeared in his sea of consciousness.

“Don’t panic. That’s my true self deducing the secrets of heaven. With his abilities, if he could deduce our whereabouts, he could wipe us out in an instant. The

fact that he hasn’t made a move means he hasn’t truly found my location yet.

You possess great fortune; as long as you don’t actively expose yourself, my true self will not detect anything!”

After saying this ,

Jiu Ye fell silent again.

Shen Changqing understood.

The other party’s words confirmed his thoughts.

Thinking of this, Shen Changqing internally examined the Seven Profound Divine Tower in the Heavenly Universe. This supreme treasure exuded subtle Daoist charm, currently sitting quietly in the Heavenly Universe, as if it had existed forever.

In the Earthly Universe, the Soul-Destroying Sword remained there, seemingly lifeless, without any further movement.

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, temporarily putting the matter of that Great Dao Lord behind him.

That level of existence was beyond his reach.

Just as Jiu Ye said, if the other party had truly deduced something, then he would either have entered the Seven Profound Divine Tower to save his life or perished on the spot.

Since nothing had happened, it meant that the other party hadn’t deduced anything useful. In

the vast chaos

, without the guidance of heavenly secrets, even the Lord of the Great Dao, Shen Changqing believed, wouldn’t be able to find him easily.

Seeing Jiu Ye fall asleep again, Shen Changqing closed his eyes and silently resumed his cultivation.

…

Meanwhile.

Within the Taiyi Immortal Sect, in the oldest immortal hall, a divine statue stood eternally, receiving offerings from generations of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

At this moment,

the statue trembled.

Terrifying immortal light and Daoist aura erupted, shaking the heavens and causing the entire Taiyi Immortal Sect to tremble violently.

In that instant,

all the powerful figures of the vast Taiyi Immortal Sect were alarmed. Even many ancient beings who had remained hidden from the world turned their gazes towards the immortal hall, their eyes filled with horror.

“That’s the Dao Ancestor’s Immortal Palace!”

“For so many years, the Dao Ancestor has manifested; could it be that another decree has been issued?”

Their hearts trembled. Their Dao hearts, which had been calm for countless years, were now in turmoil.

In the entire Taiyi Immortal Sect, there was only one being truly qualified to be called the Dao Ancestor: the supreme expert who personally founded the Taiyi Immortal Sect at the beginning of ancient times.

To the cultivators of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, that person was revered as the Dao Ancestor, the progenitor of the Great Dao.

Although this statement was somewhat exaggerated, it was enough to illustrate the supreme status of this Dao Ancestor.

At this moment

, how could they not be shocked by the commotion caused by the Dao Ancestor’s Immortal Palace?

Almost instantly, many powerful figures stepped into the Dao Ancestor’s Immortal Palace, their faces filled with excitement as they gazed at the supreme statue that had existed since ancient times.

“The younger generation of the Taiyi Immortal Sect pays respects to the Dao Ancestor!”

The leading Daoist bowed to the statue, and the other cultivators followed suit.

The instant their words fell, all the celestial lights and phenomena converged, ultimately transforming into a supreme being whose face was obscured. This being, like a god, looked down upon the numerous cultivators below and slowly spoke, a voice like the celestial music of the Great Dao reaching their ears.

“You all obey my command! Find the whereabouts of the owner of this blood, and then suppress him! Do not fail!”

As the words fell, the void before them suddenly tore open, revealing a drop of blood like agate, its terrifying pressure sweeping across everything.

All the cultivators stared in horror at the scene before them, but before they could speak, the figure vanished. (End of Chapter)
