Terran Guardian - Chapter 4012

Chapter 3987: The Glass Buddha Child

“Shen Changqing!”

Luo Xinghe, who was walking in the void, looked at the message brought by the communication jade talisman, and his calm expression couldn’t help but waver slightly.

“Interesting. Now that the number one prodigy on the Immortal Emperor Stele has arrived, it seems the Crimson Jade Dao Palace will be quite lively this time.

However, now is not the time to fight. We’ll wait until we enter the Longevity Immortal City!”

With this thought,

Luo Xinghe suppressed the fighting spirit in his heart.

Although he always appeared calm and composed, and many things were difficult for him to be moved by

, what prodigy doesn’t have

the desire to compete? As for a prodigy like Shen Changqing who had reached the top of the Immortal Emperor Stele, Luo Xinghe naturally wanted to test his skills.

Luo Xinghe had fought most of the other strongmen on the Immortal Emperor Stele.

Even the original top two on the Immortal Emperor Stele were the same.

Luo Xinghe was confident that his strength was no weaker than anyone else’s. The ranking on the Immortal Emperor Stele was not a cultivator’s true strength, but merely a comparison of their foundation.

Those with strong foundations

would naturally have higher rankings.

But rankings did not represent true strength.

Even if Shen Changqing could reach the top of the Immortal Emperor Stele, Luo Xinghe didn’t believe he would lose to him.

At least—

within this Crimson Jade Dao Palace, Luo Xinghe had enough confidence.

However, now was not the time to fight; the Immortal City of Longevity hadn’t opened, so there was no need for them to clash.

…

At all sides of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace,

every cultivator who heard news of Shen Changqing had a different expression.

Some were wary, others felt a surge of fighting spirit. All cultivators took this powerful figure who had reached the top of the Immortal Emperor Stele very seriously.

“Master Xuantian Sword… with the opening of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace this time, almost all the cultivators on the Immortal Emperor Stele have arrived!”

Jiang Yunchuan muttered to himself.

Then, he suppressed these thoughts.

Meanwhile, in another part of the void,

a figure stopped, his face ashen, his eyes filled with killing intent.

“Sword Master Xuantian… Shen Changqing… Shen Hong, very well, very well, I didn’t expect you to have also entered the Crimson Jade Dao Palace. In that case, we can settle our old and new grudges together!”

The other party’s voice was filled with hatred and anger, but he did not immediately search for Shen Changqing’s whereabouts.

For him,

now was not the time to fight.

Finding the Immortal City of Longevity was the priority.

So-called hatred was naturally not as important as opportunity. … Shen Changqing was unaware of

the commotion outside. He was still in the Chaos Sea. But as he continued to delve deeper into the Chaos Sea, Shen Changqing had a premonition that he had probably reached the edge of the Chaos Sea. After all, after obtaining the Nine-Star Mace, Shen Changqing no longer needed to hide when encountering some half-saint level Chaos beasts. Ordinary half-saint beasts could not withstand the power of the Nine-Star Mace at all. If they really encountered one, a single blow from the mace would be enough to shatter the body of such a beast and kill it on the spot. Even if one mace isn’t enough, two more will do. The power of the Nine-Star Mace is formidable . It’s precisely here that Shen Changqing can’t use his full strength, failing to unleash the full power of the Nine-Star Mace . Otherwise, let alone ordinary semi-saint beasts, even top-tier semi-saint beasts, Shen Changqing would have the confidence to fight them. With no semi-saint beasts blocking his path, and no need to detour, crossing the Chaos Sea becomes much easier for Shen Changqing. Half a month later, Shen Changqing arrived at the edge of the Chaos Sea. He stopped, only to find a Chaos Beast blocking his way. This Chaos Beast’s cultivation wasn’t high, merely at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, and atop its head stood a white-robed monk. The man before him was handsome and refined , with bright eyes and a spotless white monk’s robe. His face always held a compassionate and merciful expression, and the Chaos Beast at his feet lay quietly, showing no sign of the ferocity one would expect from a beast. Seeing this, Shen Changqing’s eyes narrowed slightly. Suppressing a Chaos Beast at the Immortal Emperor level was easy, but taming one was far more difficult. The Chaos Beast before him was clearly completely tamed. In the current Crimson Jade Dao Palace, the ability to easily tame a peak Immortal Emperor level Chaos Beast was something no ordinary cultivator could achieve. At the same time, the white-robed monk slowly spoke, chanting a Buddhist prayer: “Amitabha, may I ask if you are Sword Master Shen in person?” “You recognize me?” Shen Changqing’s expression shifted slightly. The white-robed monk smiled calmly, and the previously oppressive aura in the Chaos Sea seemed to have dissipated considerably. “This humble monk is Bao Chan. I have long heard of Sword Master Shen’s name, and later obtained his image from other cultivators, hence my recognition!” “So it is Fellow Daoist Bao Chan.” Shen Changqing nodded slightly upon hearing this name. Bao Chan! He was naturally familiar with this name. A Buddhist disciple of the Glazed Holy Land, once the second-ranked genius on the Immortal Emperor Stele. Of course. Now he is third. To say that a cultivator who has reached the top three on the Immortal Emperor Stele possesses the means to tame and suppress a peak Immortal Emperor beast is nothing special. Although Shen Changqing was somewhat surprised by the identity of the person before him, that was all. A mere Bao Chan. Not worth his attention. The only thing truly worth noting was the Glazed Holy Land behind the other party. That force was an unparalleled power in the Northern Wilderness Divine Continent, comparable to forces like the Taiyi Immortal Sect and the Jidu Jiang Family. In comparison, the six sects, nine dynasties, and thirteen holy lands of the Divine Wind Continent, in terms of foundation, were probably somewhat inferior to a force of the Glazed Holy Land’s level. All thoughts flashed through his mind, but Shen Changqing’s gaze towards Bao Chan remained calm.

“You’ve stopped me here, do you intend to fight me?” “Sword Master Shen, please don’t misunderstand. This humble monk has only heard of your reputation for a long time, hence my visit. I have no intention of stopping you.

After all, Sword Master Shen should know that the greatest opportunity for the Crimson Jade Dao Palace lies in the Immortal City of Longevity.

Without entering the Immortal City of Longevity, it will all be for naught.

You and I will have a chance to fight, but not here, but in the Immortal City of Longevity!”

Bao Chan paused here, then smiled.

“This humble monk has come to seek cooperation with Sword Master Shen.”

“Cooperate?”

“That’s right!”

Bao Chan nodded.

“The Immortal City of Longevity is a place that cultivators throughout history have fought over. Whoever can stand out from it can seize the greatest opportunity of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace.

However… the stronger one is, the more likely they are to be targeted by other cultivators .

In the outside world, we are not afraid. But within the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, suppressed by the rules of the Dao Venerable, our strength is difficult to fully exert.

At that time, if we join forces, we can deal with the other cultivators and then have a showdown!”

Bao Chan directly stated his purpose. Shen Changqing gave her a deep look and then shook his head.

“Let’s talk about cooperation later.”

“Very well, then this humble monk will wait for Sword Master Shen in the Immortal City of Longevity!”

Bao Chan was not angry, but smiled calmly. Then he put his hands together, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and the Chaos Beast beneath his feet moved its massive body, crossing the void and disappearing.

Watching the direction she left in, Shen Changqing’s expression remained calm.

“The third place on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele… I might as well test its strength if I have the chance!”

If Bao Chan made a move directly, that would be even better.

However, since the other party hasn’t made a move or shown any hostility, Shen Changqing couldn’t directly attack.

After all, one doesn’t hit a smiling face.

Moreover, the other party is backed by the Glazed Holy Land.

He has already offended quite a few forces, and once his identity becomes known, the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands will be the first to suffer.

Furthermore, his

relationship with the Jiang family has been exposed, which also offends the Taiyi Immortal Sect. If the Glazed Holy Land is added to the list, it would be asking for trouble. Of course, if Bao Chan truly wants to be his enemy, Shen Changqing won’t care about her identity. After all, if they are destined to be enemies, any mercy or hesitation will only cause trouble. Kill! That’s the only way to eliminate future troubles! Even if it offends the Glazed Holy Land and incurs their wrath, Shen Changqing considers it insignificant. You must know that Bao Chan is a Buddhist disciple of the Glazed Holy Land. If she wants to be his enemy, regardless of whether he makes a move or not, the Glazed Holy Land is destined to become his enemy. If that’s the case, then being hesitant to act because of the Glazed Holy Land is simply a sign of a lapse in judgment. That’s the reality. Often, so-called hesitation stems from a desire for reconciliation; if reconciliation is impossible, then it’s a fight to the death. Afterward, Shen Changqing put the matter of Bao Chan out of his mind and stepped out, leaving the Chaos Sea. The void was still the same void, but it lacked the oppressive feeling of the Chaos Sea. The latter, as one of the three most dangerous areas within the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, was filled with astonishing, undying Daoist energy; the vast void was oppressive, filled with a lingering, violent aura. Looking at the void before him, it seemed similar to the Chaos Sea at first glance, but the feeling it gave was completely different. “Finally, I’m out!” Shen Changqing exhaled a breath of turbid air. Since entering the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, quite a bit of time had passed. Finally, having left the Chaos Sea, Shen Changqing naturally felt much more relaxed. A moment later… Shen Changqing quickly determined the direction and headed into the depths of the void. … On the other side. A Chaos Beast traversed the void. A white-robed monk stood atop the ferocious beast, his robes fluttering, like an immortal descending to earth. The once savage and bloodthirsty Chaos Beast seemed to have its inner ferocity completely tamed. When the other cultivators saw this scene, their expressions changed drastically. “Who is this person? How can he suppress such a ferocious beast!” “That seems to be a Chaos Beast from the Chaos Sea… Judging from its aura, it must be at least a peak Immortal Emperor. To be able to suppress and tame such a ferocious beast, this person’s strength is extraordinary!” Many cultivators’ gazes were fixed on the enormous Chaos Beast. Its aura, comparable to a top-tier Immortal Emperor, was naturally astonishing. But what shocked people the most was the white-robed figure atop the ferocious beast. A monk! A Buddhist monk? Buddhist and Taoist cultivators were ultimately few and far between, and nowadays, there were even fewer Buddhist and Taoist experts with the strength to suppress a top-tier Immortal Emperor-level ferocious beast. Upon seeing that figure, one of the cultivators realized something, and his face immediately turned horrified. “The white-robed monk… he is the Lapis Lazuli Buddha!!”
