Terran Guardian - Chapter 3830

Chapter 3806 Gu Qingfeng’s Fortuitous Encounter

Upon returning to the Cangwu Mountains,

Yang Daoxu immediately went to see Shen Changqing and reported the matter truthfully.

Upon hearing this, the latter’s expression calmed considerably.

“I am already aware of this matter. For now, we need not concern ourselves with the Divine Firmament Pavilion. If they don’t make a move, so be it. But if they do, we’ll eliminate them!”

Yang Daoxu’s expression relaxed slightly upon hearing this, but

then he became somewhat worried. “Elder Blood River’s attack, killing the Vice Pavilion Master of the Divine Firmament Pavilion, has caused quite a stir. It won’t be long before the name of the Seven Profound Dao Sect spreads throughout the Star Luo Immortal Domain.

If other forces find out, will there be some trouble?”

“Peak Master Yang, there’s no need to worry. Let’s just observe and see what happens!”

Although Shen Changqing didn’t want to be too high-profile, it didn’t mean that everyone could trample on him.

Besides, this was Dongming Immortal State, separated from Shenfeng State by countless billions of miles.

Even if the Seven Profound Dao Sect caused a great commotion here, it would be difficult for them to notice.

Most importantly…

Shen Changqing’s name still hangs high on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele, his destiny bound to the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

Even if forces like the Eternal Immortal Court hear of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, they won’t associate it with the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

As for the names of Yang Daoxu and others, they won’t attract much attention either.

Again,

the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm has countless cultivators, far exceeding trillions.

To think that one can connect everything based solely on a name is nothing but wishful thinking.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing’s occupation of the Cangwu Mountains and establishment of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, while not deliberately high-profile, wasn’t to the point of passively accepting defeat.

Hearing this,

Yang Daoxu felt reassured.

Then,

the other party withdrew.

Not long after, Gu Qingfeng also arrived.

“I heard you found an opportunity in that semi-saint secret realm?”

“Master is right. I obtained the semi-saint’s corpse from the semi-saint secret realm and buried it in the Burial Heaven Coffin. However, it’s not easy to completely refine such a powerful corpse.

Fortunately, that semi-saint has been dead for countless years, and much of the corpse’s power has already dissipated; otherwise, the Burial Heaven Coffin would have been unable to contain it!”

As he spoke, Gu Qingfeng’s divine sense moved, and the Burial Heaven Coffin appeared within the Cangyun Immortal Mansion.

Shen Changqing’s gaze fell on the bronze coffin. He saw that it was filled with Daoist charm, and at the same time, a majestic heavenly power emanated from it, as if it would break through the coffin’s suppression at any moment.

Shen Changqing was not unfamiliar with this aura.

It was the aura of a semi-saint.

However,

just as Gu Qingfeng said,

although this semi-saint’s aura was powerful, it was much weaker than that of a true semi-saint.

Otherwise, the Burial Heaven Coffin, a top-grade ancient immortal artifact, would never have been able to contain a semi-saint’s corpse.

But even so…

It wasn’t easy for the Burial Coffin to truly suppress the semi-saint’s corpse.

Gu Qingfeng might not see the problem, but with Shen Changqing’s current insight, he could keenly perceive that the Burial Coffin couldn’t suppress the semi-saint’s corpse for long.

Over time,

the Burial Coffin would inevitably be damaged.

After all,

the semi-saint’s corpse was too strong; even after the erosion of time, it was still beyond the reach of ancient immortal artifacts. The fact

that the Burial Coffin could barely contain it was already extraordinary.

Any other ancient immortal artifact would have no chance.

Shen Changqing understood the

Burial Coffin. This treasure was extremely special, being one with Gu Qingfeng. The reason it could suppress the semi-saint’s corpse was because it borrowed Gu Qingfeng’s power.

The combination of the two was what allowed it to barely suppress the corpse.

Just then,

Shen Changqing’s divine sense stirred, and he saw the immortal energy of heaven and earth gather, ultimately outlining mysterious and unpredictable patterns, merging with the Burial Coffin.

In that instant, the semi-saint’s aura was directly suppressed.

At the same time…

Gu Qingfeng could also feel the pressure from the darkness, which then vanished.

Shen Changqing said, “I have already suppressed the power of that half-saint’s corpse for you, but with your current cultivation level, it’s still not easy to completely refine it and turn it into nourishment for the Burial Coffin.

However, if you can refine this half-saint’s corpse completely, breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm in the future will not be a problem!”

The Burial Coffin can bury the corpses of powerful beings and at the same time nourish itself.

The power contained in a half-saint’s corpse is naturally terrifying. Even if the Burial Coffin cannot perfectly convert all the cultivation of a half-saint, it would be easy for Gu Qingfeng to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

After all,

the power possessed by a powerhouse of this level is completely unimaginable for an Immortal Emperor.

If he can refine it, breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm will naturally not be difficult.

Gu Qingfeng’s face lit up with joy: “Thank you, Master!”

Shen Changqing didn’t say anything more and waved his hand to let him leave.

This was his disciple’s opportunity, and it was normal for him, as the master, to lend a helping hand.

Now that they’ve ascended to the Upper Realm, the gap between the original disciples has widened considerably.

Disciples like Gu Qingyang, possessing an innate immortal body, are superior to the others.

Ji Kong is similar.

Han Yan, Yu Ren, and Gu Qingfeng, however, are far behind.

Although Shen Changqing later forged their acquired bloodlines, they still fall far short of innate immortal bodies.

To date, they’ve only barely reached the Ancient Immortal Empress stage.

Their breakthrough to this point was due to their years of cultivation in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City and the abundant cultivation resources they received.

Otherwise,

it wouldn’t be easy for a newly ascended Ancient Immortal to reach the Ancient Immortal Empress stage in a single leap over millions of years.

However—

the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult the breakthroughs become.

The gap will widen even further once they truly attempt to reach the Immortal Emperor realm.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing is naturally satisfied that Gu Qingfeng has found his own opportunity.

A half-saint’s corpse is a great fortune. Combined with the characteristics of the Burial Coffin, the other party could easily break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, or even take a few more steps within that realm.

As for whether they could advance further and eventually reach the Longevity realm, that depends on their individual fortune.

But fortune is unpredictable.

Just like this time,

Minghe and many other disciples entered the Half-Saint Secret Realm, but only Gu Qingfeng truly obtained a great fortune.

Although the others also obtained some fortune, it was far inferior to Gu Qingfeng’s.

It is clear

that fortune is not so easy to obtain.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing glanced at the void, his calm eyes becoming profound.

“Shenxiao Pavilion—”

he murmured to himself, his fingers lightly tapping on the stone table, his expression indifferent.

Shen Changqing had never taken the nine major forces of Taiyuan Prefecture seriously.

In addition, since there had been no conflict of interest between them in the past, he had not paid much attention to them.

Now…

The fall of a Celestial Emperor from the Divine Firmament Pavilion is not the end of the matter; now it depends on their subsequent decisions.

If the Divine Firmament Pavilion truly doesn’t know what’s good for them, then Shen Changqing wouldn’t mind wiping them out. The

Immortal Realm’s structure is never static.

The Seven Profound Dao Sect is stronger than the Divine Firmament Pavilion, so replacing it is normal.

With this thought in mind, Shen Changqing withdrew his gaze, introspectively examined himself, and focused his attention on the Twelve Heavens.

Now,

in the universes within the Twelve Heavens, primordial beings have been born.

Except for the First Universe, the other universes have given birth to more than one primordial being. The previously desolate universes now possess a vitality they never had before.

Observing the battles of primordial beings and comprehending the evolution of the Great Dao of the Universe,

Shen Changqing’s heart remained calm and undisturbed.

…

At this moment,

the news of the fall of the Guanlan Celestial Emperor spread throughout the entire Taiyuan Prefecture in a very short time.

At the same time,

the reputation of the Seven Profound Dao Sect also shook all sides.

A semi-saint realm expert killing the deputy pavilion master of the Divine Firmament Pavilion is no small matter in Taiyuan Prefecture.

Although as a top-tier immortal domain, Taiyuan Prefecture secretly harbors more than one semi-saint, openly, no semi-saints appear there.

Now, a mysterious semi-saint has made a move, and while there’s no direct evidence linking him to the Seven Profound Dao Sect,

no

one is foolish.

The connection between the two is obvious to anyone with a modicum of common sense.

Consequently,

the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s reputation has soared.

If previously only a few forces in the neighboring Cangwu Mountains knew of the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s formidable power, now, the entire Taiyuan Prefecture’s cultivators are familiar with its name.

“With a Half-Saint presiding over the Seven Profound Dao Sect, it seems the situation in Taiyuan Prefecture is about to change!”

A Celestial Emperor’s expression was complex. Currently, the nine major forces in Taiyuan Prefecture only have Celestial Emperors in command. Now, with the Seven Profound Dao Sect emerging, their strength is naturally unmatched by the nine major forces.

However,

most cultivators focused their attention on the Divine Firmament Pavilion, wanting to see its reaction.

The fall of a Vice Pavilion Master was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the entire Divine Firmament Pavilion.

If the Divine Firmament Pavilion remained silent, it would be a laughingstock.

But similarly,

the Seven Profound Dao Sect clearly had a Half-Saint still alive. If the Divine Firmament Pavilion truly wanted to retaliate, it would be difficult to withstand the wrath of a Half-Saint.

From any perspective, the Divine Firmament Pavilion was now in a dilemma.

Other

cultivators and forces were naturally happy to see this happen.

At the same time,

the atmosphere inside the Divine Firmament Pavilion was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The fall of Immortal Emperor Guanlan shook the entire Divine Firmament Pavilion, causing many cultivators to pale upon hearing the news.

Now,

within the Divine Firmament Pavilion’s Immortal Hall, Pavilion Master Bei Ming Qingfeng’s expression was uncertain. Seated to his left and right were the current elders of the Divine Firmament Pavilion, as well as the remaining deputy pavilion masters.

“I believe you are all aware of the news from the outside world. Now that one of our Divine Firmament Pavilion’s deputy pavilion masters has fallen, what are your thoughts?”

Bei Ming Qingfeng spoke in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over everyone. As

his voice fell,

an elder cupped his hands and said, “Reporting to the Pavilion Master, our first priority is to ascertain the relationship between that mysterious half-saint and the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

If that person truly comes from the Seven Profound Dao Sect, then I believe it is not advisable to break ties with them for the time being.

But if they have nothing to do with the Seven Profound Dao Sect—”

He didn’t finish, but the meaning behind his words was clear to everyone.
