Terran Guardian - Chapter 4019

Chapter 3994: This matter will not end here.

“Greetings, Sword Master Shen!”

At this moment, Jiang Yuntang and Jiang Yunwang also stepped forward to pay their respects.

Shen Changqing smiled faintly, “You two don’t need to be so polite.”

Even so

, Jiang Yuntang and Jiang Yunwang still looked at him with awe.

Suppressing Luo Xinghe!

Slaughtering many true disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect!

How could such strength not be shocking?

If the other party were only a half-saint, it would be one thing, but as a fellow Immortal Emperor, to possess such strength was beyond their comprehension.

In comparison,

their own proud cultivation strength was insignificant.

“Now that the Longevity Token has appeared, have the three of you found one?” Shen Changqing changed the subject and asked.

Jiang Yunchuan smiled bitterly, “The Longevity Token is hard to find, let alone obtain.

I have only heard the news of the Longevity Token’s appearance, but I have not been able to find its whereabouts!”

Logically speaking

, with Jiang Yunchuan’s strength, it would be more than enough to compete for a Longevity Token.

However,

the Crimson Jade Dao Palace is too vast.

When he learned of the Longevity Token, such treasures had already been divided up.

To find the Longevity Token required not only strength but also good fortune.

In fact,

Jiang Yunchuan had also sent messages to other Jiang family allies, spending considerable resources to search for news of the Longevity Token, but so far without success.

However, just as Jiang Yunchuan finished speaking, Shen Changqing flipped his hand, and three Longevity Tokens appeared directly.

“This humble Daoist has been fortunate enough to find a few Longevity Tokens, but having too many is useless. These three Longevity Tokens are a gift to the three of you.”

“Then thank you very much, Sword Master Shen!”

Jiang Yunchuan was overjoyed.

He hadn’t expected Shen Changqing to have so many Longevity Tokens; this way, they wouldn’t have to expend so much effort searching for them.

However—

Jiang Yunchuan had no intention of taking advantage; he simply took out the rare and precious materials he had collected over the past few days.

“The Longevity Token is precious. If any of these rare treasures catch your eye, Sword Master Shen, you may choose any as a reward in exchange for the Longevity Token!”

Upon hearing this,

Shen Changqing glanced at the rare treasures and then shook his head slightly.

“No need. The Longevity Token is useless to me; keeping it would be a waste.

As for these rare treasures, you may keep them for yourself. Now that this matter is settled, I will not linger. If you need anything in the future, you may send a message. Farewell!”

After saying this, Shen Changqing waved his hand and then flew away.

Seeing the other party leave so decisively, Jiang Yunchuan was stunned for a moment, then sighed in admiration.

“The first place on the Immortal Emperor Stele is well-deserved!”

“I never expected that the ancestor’s promised help would be this person!”

No matter how he thought about it, he would never have expected that his side’s help would be this Xuan Tian Sword Master.

Moreover,

in this battle,

Jiang Yunchuan clearly saw that

the difference between the first and fourth place on the Immortal Emperor Stele was astonishing.

Even someone as powerful as Luo Xinghe was no match for him.

This is understandable; the opponent was able to suppress a group of Immortal Emperors and ultimately ascend to the top of the Immortal Emperor Stele. Jiang Yuntang sighed, “Achieving physical sainthood is as powerful as described in the classics. Such an existence is practically invincible among Immortal Emperors.

It’s just a pity that physical sainthood is difficult. Let alone Immortal Emperors, even many long-lived half-saints might not be able to reach this point.

It is said that this Xuan Tian Sword Master ascended from the lower realm, and he has already reached this point in less than a Celestial King Era since entering the upper realm.

Looking at the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, I’m afraid only he can achieve this in such a short time!”

These words

silenced Jiang Yunchuan and Jiang Yunwang.

A cultivator who ascended from the lower realm!

In less than a Celestial King Era, he reached the top of the Immortal Emperor Stele and achieved physical sainthood!

Such talent is truly monstrous.

Speaking of which,

their cultivation time is not too long either, and to reach this point, they can also be called monstrous in the eyes of many forces.

But—the gap between geniuses is so vast it’s despair-inducing.

Before a genius like Shen Changqing, they could only be considered mediocre.

Jiang Yunchuan took a deep breath: “Since ancient times, geniuses and prodigies have been as numerous as carp crossing a river. Having cultivated to this level, we naturally surpass 99% of cultivators.

But in the vast river of time, facing those truly geniuses and prodigies, we are always inferior.

However, the path of cultivation is never about who has the strongest aptitude, but about who can go further and live longer.

In terms of aptitude, we are inferior to that Xuan Tian Sword Master, but who can guarantee that you and I won’t be able to rival him in the future!”

These words

were spoken by Jiang Yunchuan to the two men, and also to himself.

In fact,

he was right.

Not to mention the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, nor the vast Dongming Immortal Continent, just within the Jiang family’s past, there have been so-called peerless geniuses and eternal prodigies.

Among them… Even more remarkably, some individuals, in less than ten million years, had already stepped into the Immortal Emperor realm, causing a stir throughout the entire Dongming Immortal Continent.

In fact—

in extremely ancient times—the Jiang family even had prodigies who, like this Xuan Tian Sword Master, ascended the Immortal Emperor Stele, suppressing all Immortal Emperors and revered as the number one.

However,

among these prodigies and geniuses, very few truly reached the pinnacle of immortality, or even the Saint or Great Saint realms.

Most perished along the way.

Therefore,

talent never determines the upper limit, but rather the lower limit.

But Jiang Yunchuan also understood that someone like Shen Changqing’s future achievements were absolutely immeasurable.

The fact that he could leave unscathed after offending numerous powerful forces in Shenfeng Continent and was still valued by his ancestor was enough to explain many things.

Most prodigies are arrogant, even to the point of being conceited.

But in Shen Changqing, Jiang Yunchuan saw none of that arrogance or conceit. Exceptional talent!

Cautious in his actions!

And ruthless in his attacks, leaving no room for future trouble.

Such a person is certainly extraordinary.

Jiang Yunchuan looked towards the void. The towering immortal tree had turned to ashes, and the Taixu Creation Fruit had vanished. A hint of regret appeared on his face.

“It’s a pity we ultimately failed to obtain the Taixu Creation Fruit!”

“Treasures, in the end, are all about opportunity. If you don’t have the right opportunity, even if the treasure is right in front of you, you can’t get your hands on it.

Speaking of which, it’s already difficult for us to escape since Luo Xinghe personally intervened. Asking for more would be too greedy!”

Jiang Yunchuan shook his head. Although he was somewhat regretful for not obtaining the Taixu Creation Fruit, he quickly accepted reality.

If they still had a chance to obtain the Taixu Creation Fruit before, that chance vanished the moment Luo Xinghe appeared.

If it weren’t for Shen Changqing’s appearance, whether they could have left alive would have been a question.

Since they were destined not to obtain them, there was no point in discussing whether it was a pity or not. “Besides—”

“Obtaining three Longevity Tokens this time is already an unexpected surprise.

These three Longevity Tokens alone are enough to be worth three top-tier rare treasures!”

Jiang Yunchuan laughed.

As the only key to the Longevity Immortal City, the importance of the Longevity Token is self-evident.

The Crimson Jade Dao Palace is vast, with an endless starry sky.

Although many Longevity Tokens are born every time the Crimson Jade Dao Palace opens, these Longevity Tokens are extremely rare in the face of the vast number of cultivators.

To be honest ,

it’s questionable whether even one out of ten thousand Immortal Emperors can obtain a Longevity Token.

Now, obtaining three Longevity Tokens at once is enough to guarantee that the three of them can enter the Longevity Immortal City later.

In Jiang Yunchuan’s view, this is more than enough.

Hearing this, Jiang Yunwang and the other person nodded. They certainly understood the value of the Longevity Tokens.

In the past, there were even examples of Jiang family ancestors who entered the Crimson Jade Dao Palace but failed to obtain the Longevity Token, thus missing out on the Longevity Immortal City.

Now, with three Longevity Tokens before them, they are free from any worries.

They no longer need to focus their energy on the Longevity Tokens, saving considerable effort and avoiding the predicament their ancestor once faced.

…

On the other side.

Inside an immortal mansion.

A white-robed Daoist suddenly opened his eyes, his once gentle and refined face now showing a hint of ferocity.

“Shen Changqing—”

A strong killing intent erupted from Luo Xinghe, causing the vast void of the immortal mansion to tremble violently, with cracks faintly appearing in the space.

A moment later.

This killing intent subsided. But Luo Xinghe’s expression remained gloomy.

This crushing defeat had almost damaged his Dao heart.

Luo Xinghe had never believed he would be defeated by Shen Changqing.

But this battle had somewhat broken his defenses.

“If it weren’t for the suppression of the rules, which maximized the advantage of physical sainthood, I might not have lost this battle!”

Indeed!

In Luo Xinghe’s view

, a large part of his defeat was due to his opponent’s physical sainthood.

Such physical defense was comparable to a primordial imperial weapon, giving him an absolute advantage from the outset.

In the outside world, Luo Xinghe was not afraid of mere physical sainthood.

However, within the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, under the suppression of the Dao Venerable’s rules, any methods of half-saint or higher were difficult to use, instead amplifying the advantage of physical sainthood to an infinite degree.

This was why he suffered a crushing defeat. After all

, when the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning struck, it didn’t even leave a mark on his opponent’s body, not even causing injury, so naturally there was no chance of victory.

If he could break through the defense, he would never have lost this battle.

Thinking of this defeat, the deaths of many fellow disciples, and the fall of one of his avatars, the killing intent that Luo Xinghe had barely suppressed surged up again.

“You destroyed my nascent life embryo and killed my fellow disciples. This matter will never end here.

Even if you achieve physical sainthood, you are not invincible within the Crimson Jade Dao Palace—”

Luo Xinghe’s eyes flashed with murderous intent.

He had been in seclusion refining a rare and precious herb, and hadn’t emerged from his retreat.

When the Taiyi Immortal Sect sent a message, he dispatched an avatar.

In Luo Xinghe’s view, the avatar he had created from his nascent life embryo was as powerful as himself, more than capable of dealing with other cultivators.

He simply hadn’t expected that a Xuan Tian Sword Master would suddenly appear, disrupting his original plans and leading to this current predicament.
