Terran Guardian - Chapter 3895

Chapter 3871 The Timing of Leaving

The Divine Sand of Time!

Shen Changqing had also obtained a grain of it,

but that Divine Sand of Time was only the lowest level, the first grade.

The difference between the first and sixth grades of Divine Sand of Time was immense.

“The sixth grade of Divine Sand of Time is rumored to be able to reverse the life and death of a Dao Venerable; no wonder such powerful figures would step forward to compete for it!”

Shen Changqing suppressed these thoughts and then looked at Wenren Chen.

“Do you know who ultimately possessed the Divine Sand of Time?”

“I don’t know yet!”

Wenren Chen shook his head.

“With the Void Immortal Realm as its core, many adjacent Immortal Realms are no longer accessible to other cultivators.

I only learned of this news because the matter has had such a great impact and has already spread far and wide.

As for the current situation in the Void Immortal Realm, and who has ultimately possessed the sixth grade of Divine Sand of Time, that remains unknown!”

Hearing this,

Shen Changqing nodded slightly: “Good, continue to keep an eye on the situation in Nanyuan Daozhou.”

“Understood!”

Wenren Chen respectfully withdrew.

From the moment Zhenyuan Pass fell, he stood firmly with the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Now,

Wenren Chen was willing to serve.

After all—

without the protection of the Seven Profound Dao Sect,

the Immortal Qin Dynasty would never have allowed him to live after leaving the ancient battlefield. After

Wenren Chen left, Shen Changqing took out the Demon God Dao Mirror again, instructing the acquired demon gods who had entered the Ancient Immortal Realm to pay close attention to the movements of Nanyuan Dao Prefecture.

However, over a million years, the acquired demon gods had suffered considerable losses.

Among the many acquired demon gods of the Xingdao Alliance, at least half had entered the Ancient Immortal Realm, but by now, almost half had perished.

This was unavoidable.

The strength of the acquired demon gods was ultimately limited.

Over the years, most of them had stopped at the Ancient Immortal Realm, and very few had truly broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

But in the Ancient Immortal Realm, let alone Ancient Immortals, even Immortal Emperors were at risk of falling at any time.

Like Nanyuan Dao Prefecture,

the battle of the Dao Venerables

had affected many immortal prefectures.

Countless cultivators have perished.

Let alone Immortal Emperors, even so-called Longevity Half-Saints are insignificant before such powerful figures.

However, after learning of the events in Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture, Shen Changqing felt reassured.

He had initially thought it was a case of powerful figures wantonly slaughtering, and if that were true, with the other side targeting Xuan Du Immortal Domain, the Seven Profound Dao Sect would also be hard-pressed to escape.

But now,

the root of the problem lies in Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture, which changes everything.

The four ancient immortal prefectures are not adjacent.

Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture and Dong Ming Immortal Prefecture are still separated by several immortal prefectures.

This battle naturally has no chance of affecting Dong Ming Immortal Prefecture.

“However—”

“This battle, centered on Xu Yi Immortal Domain, has affected many powerful immortal domains. After this battle, I fear Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture’s strength will be greatly diminished!”

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

Xu Yi Immortal Domain, as the number one immortal domain in Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture, boasts countless powerful figures, as do the other powerful immortal domains.

But now,

Dao Venerables are fighting,

causing countless lives to perish.

No one knows how many cultivators from Nanyuan Daozhou were affected and perished

in this battle. But without a doubt, Nanyuan Daozhou suffered heavy losses.

As for the Sixth-Rank Time-Traveling Divine Sand, Shen Changqing had no interest in it.

Treasures of that level were beyond his current reach.

Moreover,

for him,

whether it was the First-Rank Time-Traveling Divine Sand or the Sixth-Rank Time-Traveling Divine Sand, the result would be the same.

So far, he still had the original grain of Time-Traveling Divine Sand he had refined, so he naturally didn’t have such an urgency for the Sixth-Rank Time-Traveling Divine Sand.

As for the Dao Venerable Realm experts, their desire to obtain the Time-Traveling Divine Sand was also obvious.

Such a treasure that could reverse one’s own time was equivalent to a second life.

Under such circumstances,

how could these experts not go crazy?

…

In the following time,

the baleful aura of heaven and earth grew increasingly intense.

Although there wasn’t much news coming back from Nanyuan Daozhou, Shen Changqing could still glimpse the tragic battle situation in that immortal state from the baleful aura of heaven and earth.

At the same time,

blood rained down incessantly.

Each drop of blood rain meant the fall of at least one expert above the Saint level.

“When a sage falls, the resulting phenomena last for several days, enough to cover an entire province!”

“If it were a Great Sage who had fallen, the blood rain would last for seven days, enough to cover three Immortal Provinces!”

“Currently, Nan Yuan Dao Province and Dong Ming Immortal Province are separated by several Immortal Provinces. Such a fallen powerhouse must be at least at the Great Sage level, and possibly even higher!”

Shen Changqing gazed at the falling blood rain phenomenon, but had a different realization in his heart.

“Even if one reaches the pinnacle of immortality, what good is it? If one’s strength is insufficient, one will still perish at the hands of other powerful figures—”

Strength!

It is the foundation of everything!

Of course,

this does not mean that immortality is useless.

Only with immortality can one have the qualification to advance further.

If even immortality is difficult to attain, what good is unparalleled talent? One’s achievements are destined to be limited throughout one’s life.

At the same time

, news of what has happened in Nan Yuan Dao Province over the past month has spread.

However, few cultivators truly understand the specific situation in Nan Yuan Dao Province now.

The reason for this is…

It was a place where numerous powerful figures from Nan Yuan Dao Prefecture clashed, their terrifying Daoist aura suppressing everything. Anyone lacking sufficient strength who dared to enter would perish.

Under such circumstances, how many cultivators would dare to venture in?

Time passed slowly.

The malevolent energy of heaven and earth grew increasingly dense.

Blood rained down relentlessly across the heavens and earth.

Regardless of their cultivation level, cultivators could feel the chilling, malevolent power of the aura.

Under the influence of this malevolent energy, the killing intent in many cultivators was amplified infinitely, making the slaughter on the ancient battlefield even more intense.

…

“The malevolent energy of heaven and earth is getting stronger and stronger; even I was almost affected!”

Inside his immortal abode, Shen Changqing took a deep breath. Under the influence of this malevolent energy, the killing intent in his heart stirred, a strong urge to slaughter the world arose.

Malevolent energy of heaven and earth!

Simply put, it is the killing aura of heaven and earth.

Bloodshed among the common people.

That resentment and unwillingness, mixed together, ultimately evolved into endless slaughter.

If one’s Dao heart is not firm, one will naturally be affected.

It can be said that

malevolent energy of heaven and earth is the driving force accelerating the great calamity.

Under the original great calamity, the common people were already slaughtering each other in order to seize opportunities; with the added impetus of malevolent energy, the calamity was destined to become even more terrifying.

However—

often, this also signifies that the great calamity is about to come to an end.

Such methods of advancing the great calamity will only hasten its end.

“The sky surges with crimson, the firmament is stained with scarlet evil, and twilight hangs like cinnabar!”

“These strange phenomena are unfolding one by one; it won’t be long before this battle ends!”

Shen Changqing watched the changes in the world before him. He saw dark red clouds surging in the sky, painting the heavens a deep crimson, and the twilight, like cinnabar, pressed down, exuding an ominous aura.

He suppressed the killing intent in his heart and then took out a jade talisman.

Several days later. All the sect leaders from various

factions in the Northern Frontier

appeared at Zhenyuan Pass.

At this moment,

inside the main hall of Zhenyuan Pass, Shen Changqing, dressed in purple, sat in the main seat, below him were many powerful figures from the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

“Greetings, Sect Master!”

“Greetings, Your Excellency!”

…

“The killing power of heaven and earth is growing stronger every day, and the baleful aura is enough to corrupt people’s hearts. According to ancient records, this Heavenly Dao Battle is nearing its end.

It can last for at least a hundred years, and at most a thousand years.

Therefore, the sect should make plans as soon as possible!”

Shen Changqing glanced at everyone before speaking.

Hearing this,

the other cultivators also exchanged glances, all seeing the same surprise in each other’s eyes.

Then…

Ji Yang asked, “Master, do you intend to return to Taiyuan Prefecture?”

“The Northern Frontier is, after all, the Northern Frontier of the Immortal Qin Dynasty. Although the Immortal Qin Dynasty was destroyed in this ancient battle in the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Qin Dynasty here is ultimately inferior to the Immortal Qin Dynasty of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Moreover, this place is still the territory of the Immortal Qin Dynasty.

If we were to return to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm from the Northern Frontier, we would inevitably encounter many troubles.

Returning to Taiyuan Prefecture now is much easier!”

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Immortal Qin Dynasty of the Ancient Immortal Realm was easily destroyed.

Shen Changqing clearly understands that the Immortal Qin Dynasty of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm has a foundation far superior to the current Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Staying here

is tantamount to handing over one’s lifeline to the Immortal Qin Dynasty.

When it’s time to retreat, one must naturally retreat.

Once back in Taiyuan Prefecture, even if the Immortal Qin Dynasty wants to take action later, it won’t be so easy.

Besides,

the loss of so many half-saints in this battle is enough to cripple the Immortal Qin Dynasty.

With numerous forces such as the Great Luo Immortal Court, the Yanxu Holy Land, and the Taihua Holy Land eyeing them covetously, even if the Immortal Qin Dynasty truly wanted to take action against the Seven Profound Dao Sect, it would have to consider the consequences.

Moreover ,

the Seven Profound Dao Sect had occupied the Northern Frontier for over a million years.

Shen Changqing had distributed fiefdoms to various regions.

During such a long period, every surviving cultivator from the Seven Profound Dao Sect had received considerable Heavenly Dao

blessings. These blessings were enough for most cultivators to obtain Heavenly Dao opportunities.

Retreating now would not result in much loss.

Hearing this,

the other cultivators nodded.

“We will obey the Sect Master’s orders!”

“In that case, we will send messages to all the immortal cities. One month later, the entire sect will return to Taiyuan Prefecture!”

Shen Changqing paused slightly, then looked at Wenren Chen beside him.

“The remaining surrendered soldiers of the Immortal Qin Dynasty may go to Taiyuan Prefecture if they wish, otherwise, let it be.

Wenren Chen, you are in charge of handling this matter!”

“Your subordinate obeys!”

Wenren Chen clasped his hands and accepted the order.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing didn’t say much, and his figure disappeared.

After he left, the many high-ranking members of the Seven Profound Dao Sect dared not be negligent.

One message after another was issued, and the vast Northern Frontier was completely mobilized.

At the same time,

the news that the Seven Profound Dao Sect intended to withdraw from the Northern Frontier also spread. Many forces and cultivators turned their attention to the Northern Frontier, and they had some guesses about the departure of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

“The Seven Profound Dao Sect is leaving. It seems that this Heavenly Dao Battlefield cannot be maintained for too long!”

“If that’s the case, we should also make preparations as soon as possible—”

Other forces that were not affiliated with the Xuandu Immortal Domain were also thinking about leaving.
