Terran Guardian - Chapter 3926

Chapter 3902 The Origin of Chaos

“If every era has its chosen ones, then the Primordial Immortal Body is the eternal chosen one!”

Jiu Ye’s words confirmed Shen Changqing’s conjecture.

“However—”

“Even as the chosen one, one is not without scruples; at most, one is favored by the Heavenly Dao and has a deeper blessing. Throughout

history, there have been chosen ones who died young, and the Primordial Immortal Bodies of every generation ultimately perished, which indirectly proves this point.

You possess the Primordial Immortal Body, inheriting the legacy of the Primordial Dao Lord in this life—an advantage that other geniuses lack.

But how far you ultimately go depends entirely on yourself!”

Hearing this,

Shen Changqing took a deep breath and nodded: “I will remember your words, Senior!”

Then,

he changed the subject and asked…

“Speaking of which, I have a question I’d like to ask you, senior.”

“What is it?”

“Our Seven Profound Dao Sect is now the mandate of Heaven for Taiyuan Prefecture, gathering the fortune of the entire prefecture. However, I’ve noticed that the sect’s fortune seems to have reached its limit in recent years, hence my wish to ask you for your guidance!”

Shen Changqing organized his thoughts before voicing his doubts.

A moment after he finished speaking, Jiu Ye’s voice followed.

“The path of fortune is quite complex, but it can be divided into two types: personal fortune and the fortune of a power.

Personal fortune is self-evident; those with abundant fortune can turn misfortune into good fortune,

while those with declining fortune face constant danger. Most people belong to the category of those with mediocre fortune, but although this fortune is innate, it can be changed later in life!”

“As for power and fortune, there are actually different levels.

The lowest level is Juxia. Even the weakest power and fortune can reach the Juxia level. At this level, the fortune of the weak is undetectable, while the fortune of the strong is manifest.

Therefore, the difference in fortune at this level is astonishing.

Above that is Ascension.

Ascension can protect its master. In the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, those who ascend to the Ascension level are mostly the masters of a territory, who have gathered the fortune of all living beings before finally stepping into this step. From

this level onwards, one can be protected by fortune. If any cultivator attempts to destroy such a power, it will cause a backlash from the fortune.

However—

there are also differences in Ascension.

The weak can at most threaten an Immortal Emperor, while the strong, even a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint, must be wary.

With the current situation of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, it is at the limit of Ascension!”

“Beyond Ascension to Immortality lies Longevity, with nine ranks. The first rank can threaten a Saint, and the ninth rank can shake a Supreme Being.

Then comes the sixth rank of the Great Luo, and the third rank of the Great Dao—

those levels are far beyond your current understanding. You will understand when the Seven Profound Dao Sect reaches those levels!”   Shen Changqing silently digested

Jiu Ye’s words.   Ascension to Immortality!   The   ninth rank of Longevity!   The sixth rank of the Great Luo!   The third rank of the Great Dao!   …   It was only after hearing the concept of destiny from Jiu Ye that Shen Changqing realized how shallow his understanding of destiny truly was.   ”How can one break through to the ninth rank of Longevity?”   ”The simplest way to break through to the ninth rank of Longevity is through accumulation, continuously enhancing the sect’s strength and foundation, and gathering the fortune of all living beings. When the fortune reaches a certain critical point, the breakthrough will naturally occur.   However—   such a breakthrough also requires a supreme treasure to suppress the fortune.   A supreme treasure, at least, must be a Creation Treasure. Without a Creation Treasure to suppress the fortune, even if one barely advances to Longevity, the fortune will be like a rootless duckweed, constantly and involuntarily dissipating.   Once the fortune is severely depleted, it’s normal to fall back to the Ascension level!”   ”Moreover, this fortune is closely related to one’s own power. If the sect suffers a great calamity and its territories are in turmoil, then the fortune will inevitably be damaged.   Without a supreme treasure to suppress it, the fortune will dissipate even faster. Of course, even with a supreme treasure to suppress it, the fortune will still dissipate,   but the rate of loss will be much better than the former!”   ”Furthermore…”   ”Power fortune is also divided into two types.”   ”The first is to merge oneself with the Qi (luck/fortune), thus gaining control over its power. If an external enemy invades, one can use their own Qi to fight back, greatly increasing their strength, treating all forms of Qi as consumables.   Many celestial courts and dynasties have followed this path.   However, this method has obvious drawbacks; damaged Qi will backfire, making it a double-edged sword.   The second is like you, not controlling Qi, but passively protected by it. In this way, even if Qi is damaged, there will be no backlash.   But no matter what, abundant Qi is ultimately a good thing—”   Jiu Ye made no attempt to hide anything about Qi, revealing everything about it.   Shen Changqing listened silently, gaining a much deeper understanding of Qi.   According to her, there are essentially two ways to enhance Qi.   One is to strengthen one’s sect, thereby replenishing Qi; the other is to expand territory, using the Qi of the territory to gather within the sect, ultimately achieving transformation.   But regardless of the method, both are difficult.   However, there are exceptions. One such exception   is the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.   ”The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is favored by the Heavenly Dao’s fortune. It is the origin of this chaotic world. Fortune that is difficult to attain in the chaos can be bestowed upon one here, allowing for gradual transformation.   The Ninth Rank of Longevity!   The Sixth Rank of Great Luo!   All have the opportunity to advance in the Nine   Heavens Immortal Realm. This is why, for countless years, numerous forces have desperately sought to set foot in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm and establish a foothold.   The more prestigious the immortal state or domain, the stronger the fortune gained.   Dongming Immortal State is one of the four ancient immortal states, and Xingluo Immortal Domain is the first immortal domain under the Supreme Immortal Domain.   The Seven Profound Dao Sect is a prefecture here, truly blessed by heaven!”   After Jiu Ye finished speaking, her voice fell silent.   Shen Changqing tentatively called out, but received no response, confirming that she had fallen back into slumber.   Seeing this…

Shen Changqing didn’t disturb him further, instead digesting what the other party had just said.

“Ascension to Immortality!”

“Nine Grades of Longevity—”

“Currently, the Qiyun of the Seven Profound Dao Sect has reached the peak of Ascension to Immortality. The next

step is breaking through to the ninth grade of Longevity. If that’s truly achieved, even a saint wouldn’t dare to kill me casually. After all, I am the sect leader and the master of Qiyun. If someone kills me, it will inevitably cause a backlash from Qiyun. At best, it will cause mental demonic obstacles and a decline in cultivation; at worst, it might even attract heavenly punishment, leading to death and the annihilation of one’s Dao!”

Shen Changqing thought to himself

. To put it bluntly ,

Qiyun is like a protective talisman.

Whoever tries to kill him will suffer a backlash from Qiyun.

This backlash is not to be underestimated. At best, it weakens one’s own Qiyun, leading to mental demonic obstacles and a decline in cultivation; at worst, it will incur the wrath of the Heavenly Dao and bring down divine punishment.

Of course,

if it really comes to that, it will simply be a lose-lose situation. After all

, if he died, the other party would also suffer a backlash from the aura of fortune, and neither of them would benefit.

Moreover ,

for Shen Changqing, even if the other party suffered a backlash from the aura of fortune, what difference would it make? Paying the price with his own demise was simply not worthwhile.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the fortune of the Seven Profound Dao Sect was always a protective talisman, a talisman powerful enough to make even top experts wary.

However,

achieving immortality through fortune was not so easy.

At present, his fortune had only threatened a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint, but with Shen Changqing’s current strength, if he truly unleashed his full power, he wouldn’t necessarily fear a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.

Ultimately,

possessing a Creation Treasure gave Shen Changqing sufficient confidence.

With such a supreme treasure, he was confident he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage against a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.

“While a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint poses some threat to me, it’s not too great. Only the Saint level is truly worthy of my fear.

The most important thing now is to find a way to elevate the sect’s fortune and break through to the Longevity stage. That way, I’ll have more confidence when facing Saints!”

Many thoughts flashed through Shen Changqing’s mind; he had already made a plan.

However, while

that’s true

, achieving longevity through fortune is far from easy.

Ascending to Immortality! Ascending to Immortality

!

Longevity!

Each of these three stages is difficult.

In Shen Changqing’s view, the Ascending to Immortality level was where most of the former heavenly powers were.

After all, any power, as long as it possessed some fortune, could reach the Ascending to Immortality level.

It can be said that

the difference in fortune at the Ascending to Immortality level is the most obvious.

The weakest and strongest among them are worlds apart.

Ascending to Immortality, however, has a clear threshold.

Not all powers can reach the Ascending to Immortality level. At least in Shen Changqing’s view, his recently ascended Xuantian Dao Sect, while possessing considerable fortune, had not yet reached the Ascending to Immortality stage.

Only when he later took charge of the sect, dominating the entire Divine Heaven Domain and gathering the fortune of a celestial realm upon himself,

would

the fortune of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect truly cross the threshold of Ascension.

Now, with

Shen Changqing founding the Seven Profound Dao Sect, boasting numerous half-saints and disciples of considerable strength, its fortune has already reached the Ascension level from the moment of its founding.

However ,

even among those who have reached the Ascension level, there are still differences.

Although these differences are not as obvious as Ju Xia’s, they are still significant.

After all,

the Ascension level spans between Immortal Emperors and Half-Saints.

“It’s not easy to improve one’s fortune at the Ascension level. Even after years of accumulation, the original fortune of the Seven Profound Dao Sect was probably only at the mid-stage of Ascension, barely enough to threaten the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

The reason they were able to break through the barrier and reach the current peak of Ascension is largely due to the fortune of the Heavenly Dao.

A sect blessed by Heaven’s Mandate, receiving the favor of the Heavenly Dao’s fortune, is able to truly reach the pinnacle of Ascension.

As Senior Nine Leaves said, the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is indeed extraordinary. Without the power of a sect’s fortune, even if the sect’s strength increased several times over, it wouldn’t necessarily be possible to reach this level!”

Thinking this, Shen Changqing exhaled a breath of turbid air, gaining a new understanding of the importance of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

At the same time

, he understood the meaning of Nine Leaves’ words even more clearly.

The Origin of Chaos!

The Favor of the Heavenly Dao’s Fortune! (End of Chapter)
