Terran Guardian - Chapter 3903

Chapter 3879 The Order of Heaven Cannot Be Changed!

The mysteries of creation are being lost!

Immortal veins are drying up! This

is happening in many immortal realms of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Some immortal realms are rising in rankings, with a large amount of mysteries of creation emerging, giving birth to opportunities for immortal veins. Naturally, some immortal realms are losing their mysteries of creation, causing them to decline.

This ebb and flow

is the cycle of the Heavenly Dao!

Even a saint cannot change this.

After all,

the mysteries of creation are controlled by the Heavenly Dao, and saints have no right to interfere in the slightest.

The situation in other immortal realms has also been reported by the Dao Alliance. Shen Changqing

was not greatly affected by this .

He was in seclusion cultivating, silently comprehending the Great Dao, trying every means to improve his strength.

He didn’t care much about things happening outside.

It is worth mentioning that in

the battle of the Ancient Immortal Realm, the semi-saint essence in his hands broke through three digits again, directly reaching 208 points.

For this reason,

Shen Changqing thought for a moment and decided to use the Seven Profound Divine Tower to give birth to two more Longevity Demon Gods.

Two immortal demon gods, one possessing innate and unparalleled fire control, traversing the Great Dao of Fire, and the other primarily focused on the Great Dao of Water. Shen Changqing,

on

a whim, directly named the two immortal demon gods:

Zhurong and Gonggong.

This naming was a combination of Shen Changqing’s memories from his previous life.

Fire God Zhurong!

Water God Gonggong!

One immortal demon god wielded the Great Dao of Fire, the other the Great Dao of Water; such names were fitting.

In this way, the Seven Profound Dao Sect gained two more half-saint realm experts.

Moreover,

immortal demon gods are different from ordinary half-saints; these demon gods with powerful bloodlines possess strength far exceeding their peers.

Within the sect, only the Hall of Worship had gained two more elders, but little was known about the details of Zhurong and Gonggong. Only Duan Changsheng and others, also immortal demon gods, could understand their identities.

As fellow immortal demon gods, they naturally possessed a bloodline connection.

…

Time passed slowly.

Every so often, an opportunity would arise in Taiyuan Prefecture, sparking fierce competition among various forces.

Some time later, news spread throughout Taiyuan Prefecture:

the Qingyu Dao Sect had been annihilated!

It had been wiped out in one fell swoop by a combined force of numerous top powers, including the Shenxiao Pavilion.

Initially, the cultivators who heard the news were shocked, but they quickly came to terms with it.

Everyone could see that the Qingyu Dao Sect’s strength in the ancient immortal realm had been greatly diminished and was already on the verge of collapse.

The Qingyu Dao Sect itself was also aware of this.

Therefore ,

shortly after the Heavenly Dao Battle ended, the Qingyu Dao Sect announced the closure of its mountain gates and the abandonment of many territories, hoping to recuperate and weather the calamity of destruction.

However, despite these measures, the Qingyu Dao Sect could not escape its fate.

Ultimately—

a combined effort by several top powers completely destroyed the Qingyu Dao Sect, with heavy casualties among its disciples. Only a very few survived, and even those who survived were hunted down by other forces.

In the end,

everyone understood the principle of eliminating the root of the problem.

Now that they’d already destroyed the Qingyu Dao Sect, they couldn’t leave any future troubles.

While it was rare for a fallen sect’s disciples to rise against the tide and ultimately destroy their enemy sect, no one wanted to gamble.

Besides, with

the Qingyu Dao Sect’s top experts all killed, most of the remaining disciples weren’t very strong; easily hunted down and eliminated.

When this news reached Shen Changqing, his expression remained calm.

“Qingyu Dao Sect—”

Shen Changqing murmured the name before dismissing it.

The destruction of the Qingyu Dao Sect meant little to him.

The Seven Profound Dao Sect had firmly established itself as the hegemon of Taiyuan Prefecture; no matter how turbulent the other sects were, they couldn’t shake its position.

Moreover,

the destruction of the Qingyu Dao Sect was within his expectations.

The war in the ancient Immortal Realm had resulted in the fall of many of the sect’s experts, severely weakening it; its destruction was therefore inevitable.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is inherently a dog-eat-dog world. When a sect is powerful, other cultivators hold it in awe. But if its strength declines, these same cultivators swarm and devour it.

The Seven Profound Dao Sect is no exception.

With several half-saints presiding over it, other forces dare not harbor the slightest disloyalty.

Any cultivator from Taiyuan Prefecture feels awe upon hearing the name of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and treats its members with utmost respect.

However, if one day the Seven Profound Dao Sect suffers a great calamity and loses its current strength,

then these seemingly compliant forces will reveal their true colors.

Therefore,

for Shen Changqing, nothing is more important than improving his own strength.

The destruction of the Azure Jade Dao Sect is insignificant to him.

“The destruction of one Qingyu Dao Sect leads to the emergence of another. The shifting of power is like the cycle of heaven, beyond human control!”

Shen Changqing’s gaze fell upon the Twelve Heavens. The current annihilation of the universe and the rise and fall of all races were strikingly similar to the current situation in Taiyuan Prefecture.

However—

not long after the destruction of the Qingyu Dao Sect, another piece of news arrived, causing a slight tremor in Shen Changqing’s usually calm Dao heart.

“The three great immortal forces have joined forces to besiege the Daoyuan Immortal Sect?”

Inside Cangyun Immortal Prefecture, Shen Changqing looked at Yang Daoxu, who had come to report the news, his expression slightly taken aback.

The latter, with a respectful expression, said, “Three months ago, the three immortal forces, one in the Star Luo Immortal Domain and

the other on par with the Dao Yuan Immortal Sect, launched an attack almost simultaneously, joining forces to besiege the Dao Yuan Immortal Sect. As soon as the battle broke out, the Dao Yuan Immortal Sect suffered a series of defeats, losing many powerful figures, including several half-saints.

Within a month, the Dao Yuan Immortal Sect had lost most of its territory, and all the remaining cultivators were trapped within its sect.

At the critical moment, a saint from the Dao Yuan Immortal Sect intervened, deterring the three major forces and thus resolving the crisis.

But since then, the Dao Yuan Immortal Sect has announced the closure of its mountain gates, completely isolating itself from the outside world!”

Upon hearing this…

Shen Changqing’s expression was one of understanding.

“So, it seems that the Saint of the Daoyuan Immortal Sect can’t just act rashly!”

If the Saint of the Daoyuan Immortal Sect could act at any time, he wouldn’t wait until other forces had driven the sect to the brink of destruction before appearing.

Most of these Saints are avoiding the Heavenly Tribulation and dare not act unless absolutely necessary.

But similarly

, such Saints are also a double-edged sword for other forces.

If they were to fight to the death, the consequences of a Saint driven to desperation would be unimaginable.

Therefore,

in Shen Changqing’s view, this siege of the Daoyuan Immortal Sect was probably a test by other immortal forces to see if the Daoyuan Immortal Sect truly had a Saint lying in wait.

If not, then they would naturally annihilate the Daoyuan Immortal Sect in one fell swoop and then divide up this force.

But if there was a Saint, then they would leave a glimmer of hope for the Daoyuan Immortal Sect.

However—

judging from the information provided by Yang Daoxu, the Daoyuan Immortal Sect has also suffered a great loss of strength this time, and it will not be a matter of a short time before it recovers its strength.

Shen Changqing had no personal grudges against the Daoyuan Immortal Sect, so he naturally had no intention of taking advantage of their misfortune.

“Keep an eye on the Daoyuan Immortal Sect, but don’t invest too much energy in them. The real battlefield now is the Southern Yuan Dao Prefecture, which has suffered a major setback.

During this time, focus on improving the strength of your sect’s disciples to prepare for what’s to come,”

Shen Changqing instructed. Yang Daoxu nodded in agreement.

This former sect master of the Xuantian Dao Sect thought that the current peak master of Lutai Peak had also improved considerably.

Since leaving the Ancient Immortal Realm, and then seizing some opportunities when the Creation Mystery appeared in Taiyuan Prefecture, his cultivation had now broken through to the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor.

The Five Immortal Universes were complete!

He had then opened up the Yang Universe within the Yin-Yang Universe!

His strength was significantly improved compared to before.

After all, before entering the Ancient Immortal Realm, Yang Daoxu hadn’t even completed the Five Immortal Universes, let alone opened up the Yin-Yang Universe and broken through to the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor.

Now, breaking through in one go would have taken hundreds of millions, or even billions, of years of arduous work for other Immortal Emperors.

Such an opportunity is certainly remarkable.

Of course,

Yang Daoxu wasn’t the only one whose strength improved.

Other cultivators who were originally at the Immortal Emperor realm also experienced varying degrees of improvement and breakthroughs.

For example, Qingmu and Qingxu, while not breaking through to the middle Immortal Emperor level like Yang Daoxu, both opened up all five Immortal Universes, reaching the peak of the initial Immortal Emperor level.

With further consolidation, opening up the Yin-Yang Universe and reaching the middle Immortal Emperor level shouldn’t be a problem.

As for Gu Qingyang and Ji Yang, they remained at the initial Immortal Emperor level.

This was because they possessed top-tier inheritances, and their first stage after breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm was opening up the Heavenly Universe.

Among the nine Immortal Emperor Universes, the Heavenly Universe is the most revered; opening such a universe possesses the strongest power, but it is also often the most difficult to break through.

If ordinary Immortal Emperors progress from easy to difficult, then those who open Heavenly Universes experience the opposite.

At the initial Immortal Emperor level, cultivating the Heavenly Universe to perfection is the most difficult; the difficulty decreases accordingly when opening the Earthly Universe at the middle Immortal Emperor level and the Yin-Yang Universe at the later Immortal Emperor level.

Regardless, this Heavenly Dao Battlefield significantly boosted the strength of the entire Seven Profound Dao Sect.

“The next Heavenly Dao Battlefield will be a year after the Immortal King Era. As for the Great Tribulation, judging from the time I ascended to the Upper Realm, it’s roughly three Immortal King Eras. Right now

, it’s less than three Immortal King Eras.

I only need to experience two more Heavenly Dao Battlefields, and then my first Great Tribulation after ascending to the Upper Realm will arrive!”

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

He naturally had some anticipation for the Great Tribulation.

After all, without the Great Tribulation, it would be difficult to break through to the Half-Saint Realm, even with other opportunities. Shen Changqing had also consulted Jiu Ye

about this

.

According to Jiu Ye, without the Great Tribulation, the Great Dao of Immortality wouldn’t manifest, and the secrets of heaven would be obscured. Even the most talented geniuses would find it difficult to truly break through the barriers and directly reach the Half-Saint Realm.

Only when the Great Tribulation arrives and the rules of the Great Dao manifest can one find the path to immortality and then seize this opportunity to break through to the Half-Saint Realm in one fell swoop.

This is the order of heaven, and no one can change it in the slightest. (End of this chapter)
