Terran Guardian - Chapter 4064

Chapter 4039 Familiar Aura

Finally—

a stone spear and a golden chariot appeared.

First,

Shen Changqing’s gaze fell upon the golden chariot, also a Primordial Emperor Weapon,

though not among the previous ones .

When it appeared, the golden chariot trembled slightly, seemingly trying to break free from Shen Changqing’s control.

In response,

Shen Changqing struck the golden chariot with his palm; the unshakeable force caused the chariot to let out a mournful cry and fall silent.

“Even when your master was alive, you were no match for me. Now that Huangfu Xuance has perished, a mere Primordial Emperor Weapon dares to try and overturn the heavens!”

Shen Changqing’s eyes turned cold. Seeing the golden chariot subdue, he no longer hesitated and directly began refining it.

Not long after,

he imprinted his own divine soul mark upon the golden chariot.

“A Ninth-Rank Primordial Emperor Weapon!”

Shen Changqing communicated with the golden chariot through his divine sense. The treasure’s previous resistance had dissipated, and they were now in perfect harmony.

As a Ninth-Rank Primordial Emperor Weapon, the golden chariot combined defense and speed.

Sitting atop the golden chariot, one can unleash its power to defend oneself, a feat unbreakable by anyone less than a top-tier semi-saint.

Furthermore,

the golden chariot can break numerous restrictions; even top-tier semi-saints cannot match its speed.

The moment Shen Changqing refined the golden chariot, he understood all its many uses.

“The Nine Heavens Divine Court’s foundation is profound. For a mere Ninth Prince to possess such a treasure for protection is only because Huangfu Xuance was careless. Otherwise, if he had been determined to leave, I might not have been able to stop him!”

After all, with such a treasure, even a top-tier semi-saint would find it difficult to stop Huangfu Xuance.

Unfortunately,

Huangfu Xuance was ultimately careless.

His opponent also underestimated his abilities.

Although the golden chariot was powerful, it was no match for the Nine-Star Mace, ultimately leading to his death.

Besides the golden chariot, the remaining stone spear was similarly powerful.

The difference was…

The latter was not a Primordial Emperor Weapon, but rather an Extreme Dao Divine Weapon comparable to a Ninth-Rank Primordial Emperor Weapon.

Such a treasure was incredibly heavy, difficult for ordinary cultivators to move.

However, for Shen Changqing, this treasure was still quite valuable.

But with the Nine-Star Mace Pearl preceding him, the stone spear’s effect was less significant.

Regardless,

the gains from this battle were astonishing.

Not only did he further enhance his strength, but he also acquired numerous treasures.

Afterwards ,

Shen Changqing emerged from seclusion.

His first act upon emerging was to seek opportunities in the Chaotic Land. This place had existed for countless ages, and countless cultivators were buried here.

Even though only Immortal Emperors could enter the Chaotic Land in the past, the opportunities here were still plentiful.

After all, being

an Immortal Emperor did not mean having shallow foundations.

Like the Immortal Emperor from the outer realms who entered the Chaotic Land this time, he possessed abundant cultivation resources.

The Chaotic Land had existed for many years, and countless cultivators had perished here.

Such a place naturally held immense opportunities.

However…

While searching for opportunities in the Chaotic Lands, Shen Changqing didn’t deliberately seek out the whereabouts of the Immortal Emperors from other realms, but if he encountered them, he would suppress them casually.

Under these circumstances, the number of Creation Profound Secrets Shen Changqing possessed was gradually increasing.

However,

this increase seemed insignificant compared to the original base of 890,000.

Now, cultivators from both sides of Chaos, whenever they saw the name ranked first on the Ascension Ranking, would fall silent in unison.

890,000 Creation Profound Secrets!

No one had ever achieved that before!

Looking at the second-ranked cultivator, their Creation Profound Secrets barely exceeded 10,000.

The difference between them was astonishing.

Some cultivators even suspected that the combined Creation Profound Secrets of the top 100 on the Ascension Ranking probably didn’t even amount to 890,000. “Eighty-nine hundred thousand Creation Profound Secrets!

The Chaotic Land has only been open for a little over two hundred years, and there are still more than two thousand years to go.

If things continue like this, it shouldn’t be a problem for Sword Master Shen to break through to one million Creation Profound Secrets!” Jiang Yunchuan looked at the slowly changing Creation Profound Secrets on the Ascension Ranking with a sigh. If someone had ten thousand Creation Profound Secrets and was trying to break through to one hundred thousand, that leap would be incredibly difficult. But breaking through from eighty-nine hundred thousand Creation Profound Secrets to one million seems much easier. Jiang Yunchuan knew this very well. With Shen Changqing’s strength, collecting one million Creation Profound Secrets wasn’t impossible. After all, his strength was enough to sweep across the entire Chaotic Land. He was truly invincible! Cultivators of the same realm, even the so-called top geniuses, were completely no match for him. The battle at the Burial Immortal Ruins, even after more than a hundred years, was still unforgettable for Jiang Yunchuan. Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuntang’s pretty face also showed admiration: “Sweeping away tens of thousands of Immortal Emperors from the outer realms single-handedly, almost wiping out the top ten on the outer realms’ Immortal Ascension Ranking. Number one on the Immortal Emperor Monument throughout history—I doubt anyone has ever achieved that. No one has done it before, and I’m afraid no one will ever be able to do it again!” Most geniuses are usually arrogant. Especially when competing against others of the same realm, they never consider themselves weaker than others. Even if they suffer a temporary defeat, they still have the confidence to catch up. But for someone like Shen Changqing, Jiang Yuntang had no thought of catching up whatsoever. When the gap becomes large enough, it’s enough to make one give up all thoughts. “Among the Immortal Emperors, this one is worthy of being recorded in history!” Jiang Yunchuan nodded slightly. He was certain that if the memories of the Chaotic Land could be preserved, then the seven words “Shen Changqing, the Sword Master of Xuantian” would be enough to shake the world. Even after countless years, whenever the Immortal Emperor realm is discussed, this person remains an insurmountable monument. After all—

No one could single-handedly sweep away tens of thousands of Immortal Emperors from the outer realms like this one.

It’s important to understand that

in the battle of the Burial Immortal Ruins, even the weakest of those Immortal Emperors from the outer realms was at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Without such cultivation, almost no one would even qualify to enter the Chaotic Land.

Sweeping away tens of thousands of Immortal Emperors!

That’s a completely different concept from sweeping away tens of thousands of peak Immortal Emperors.

Of course,

even with the former, throughout history, only a handful of geniuses have achieved this at the Immortal Emperor realm.

But as for the latter, absolutely none.

At least,

there isn’t a single trace left in the Jiang family’s records.

The Jiang family’s heritage is ancient enough that if such an Immortal Emperor truly appeared in the past, there would be no way there wouldn’t be any trace.

Therefore, Jiang Yunchuan naturally admired Shen Changqing.

Then,

he thought of something, and his expression turned cold again.

“Has Luo Xinghe still not been found?”

“No… Since the battle at the Burial Immortal Ruins, Luo Xinghe has vanished without a trace, not a single trace has been found!”

Jiang Yuntang’s face also turned cold as he said in a deep voice.

Hearing this

, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Yunchuan’s eyes: “It seems that battle has completely terrified this Daoist of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and he hasn’t dared to show his face for over a hundred years.

The Chaotic Land is so vast; if he really hides and doesn’t come out, finding his whereabouts will indeed not be so easy!”

To kick a man when he’s down!

This was Jiang Yunchuan’s idea.

Now, almost all the true disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Sect have perished.

The morale of the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s former allies was completely shattered after the battle at the Burial Immortal Ruins.

Now, Luo Xinghe is truly all alone.

In Jiang Yunchuan’s view, this is the perfect opportunity.

If they can kill Luo Xinghe, the Taiyi Immortal Sect will lose a top genius, which is naturally a good thing for the Jiang family.

Therefore…

for so many years…

Jiang Yunchuan had been sending people to search for Luo Xinghe’s whereabouts, but to no avail.

In this situation, all he could do was wait.

The Chaotic Land was vast, but if Luo Xinghe appeared, Jiang Yunchuan was confident he could find him.

However—

if Luo Xinghe remained hidden until the Chaotic Land ended, then there was nothing he could do.

In the past, Jiang Yunchuan didn’t think Luo Xinghe would hide. After all,

the Chaotic Land was both dangerous and a great opportunity; killing cultivators from other realms could yield profound secrets of creation.

Even for top geniuses, such temptation was considerable.

But now ,

it was hard to say.

After all, Luo Xinghe had joined forces with other Immortal Emperors to besiege Shen Changqing in the Burial Immortal Ruins, resulting in three deaths and one injury.

If Luo Xinghe were to actually show his face, even the Xuan Tian Sword Master might not stand idly by.

Hiding to protect his own life was understandable.

Right now, all Jiang Yunchuan could do was search for Luo Xinghe’s whereabouts with all his might; whether he could find him was another matter entirely.

…

“Pfft!”

Huang Liang Daoist unleashed a palm strike, shattering the head of a Celestial Emperor. Looking at the headless corpse on the ground, his eyes held a hint of contempt.

“Insignificant ants, not worth mentioning!”

As his words fell, the scene of the Burial Immortal Ruins flashed through his mind again. That blood-stained figure made Huang Liang Daoist’s eyes burn with fervor, yet an uncontrollable fear welled up in his heart.

“Shen Changqing, the Sword Master of Xuantian!”

Huang Liang Daoist murmured to himself.

How could the strength of a Celestial Emperor be so powerful!

Even now,

Huang Liang Daoist still found it hard to believe.

Originally,

in his mind

, Shen Changqing and the Nine Heavens Divine Court were likely to suffer heavy losses in the battle at the Burial Immortal Ruins.

What he needed to do was seize the opportunity when the opponent was injured and then successfully possess his body.

But with the fall of Huangfu Xuance and the appearance of numerous top-tier external forces such as the Wuji Divine Palace, when tens of thousands of Celestial Emperors besieged him, Huang Liang Daoist completely abandoned the idea of possession.

In his view…

Shen Changqing was doomed.

Surrounded by tens of thousands of top-tier Immortal Emperors, including geniuses of Jun Tianli and Gu Jianchen’s caliber, even the strongest opponent had no chance of victory.

But the situation unfolded unexpectedly.

Huang Liang Daoren never imagined that Shen Changqing could single-handedly sweep away tens of thousands of outer realm Immortal Emperors, decimating them and ultimately causing their complete defeat.

Especially in the final battle, when Luo Xinghe and the other four top geniuses intervened, Shen Changqing instantly killed three of them.

Only then

did Huang Liang Daoren realize how laughable his original plan to unite many Immortal Emperors to besiege Shen Changqing had been.

At the same time

, he secretly rejoiced that he hadn’t actually intervened.

Otherwise, he would certainly have been among the many fallen Immortal Emperors.

It could be said that

after witnessing Shen Changqing’s true strength, Huang Liang Daoren completely abandoned the idea of possessing him.

Such a genius was beyond his ability to possess.

To be precise ,

he was not at his current level.

To say that he could reach the Half-Saint realm, with his absolute cultivation advantage, might give him a slight chance of successfully seizing a body.

But to reach the Immortal Emperor realm, there was absolutely no chance. Huang Liang Daoist was perfectly clear about

this . He knew that the strength Shen Changqing displayed in the battle at the Burial Immortal Ruins had already surpassed the Immortal Emperor realm; even many veteran Half-Saints were probably inferior. How could an Immortal Emperor possibly seize such a prodigy? Moreover…

Huang Liang Daoist was well aware that his strength had been greatly diminished, his soul damaged, and compared to his former glory,

he was less than one ten-thousandth of his former power. To attempt to possess such a prodigy would be suicidal.

Therefore,

Huang Liang Daoist had to settle for second best.

He could either find other treasures to nourish his soul, gradually repairing its damage and then cultivating back to its former state on his own

, or possess the souls of other prodigies on the Immortal Emperor Stele.

However, the problem was that

many of the original top ten prodigies on the Immortal Emperor Stele had already perished, and those who remained were either from powerful backgrounds or, like Shen Changqing, untouchable.

Therefore,

Huang Liang Daoist’s target was the newly promoted top ten on the Immortal Emperor Stele.

However, the Chaotic Land was so vast that finding a suitable target for possession was not easy.

Currently, Huang Liang Daoist had made a plan: either find a target to possess, or find treasures to repair his soul.

At the same time,

he would kill other cultivators from other realms to seize the secrets of creation.

If he could gather enough secrets of creation and obtain the opportunities of the Heavenly Dao, he might even be able to directly repair the damage to his own soul.

A three-pronged approach!

This was what Huang Liang Daoist was currently trying to do.

But just then,

his expression suddenly changed, and without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed all his power, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into the void in an instant.

“Hmm?”

Shen Changqing looked at the vanished light, his expression slightly shifting.

“This aura… seems familiar!”

He had also sensed Huang Liang Daoist’s presence.

However, Shen Changqing hadn’t paid much attention to it.

After all, the other party wasn’t an Immortal Emperor from another realm, and there was no conflict of interest between them. He wasn’t a bloodthirsty person either, so he naturally wouldn’t act rashly.

But unexpectedly, the other party acted as if he had seen some terrifying being, turning and leaving without a word.

In the instant the other party fled with all his might, Shen Changqing was able to detect a familiar aura from the leaked energy.

A moment later…

Shen Changqing finally found the source of that familiar aura.

“The Yellow Millet Cult Leader…”

He gazed into the void, his eyes deepening.

Shen Changqing wasn’t surprised that the Yellow Millet Cult Leader wasn’t dead.

But he hadn’t expected him to enter the Chaotic Land.

However, Shen Changqing quickly suppressed the matter.

At his current level, a severely injured Yellow Millet Cult Leader posed little threat.

At the same time,

Shen Changqing silently memorized this aura.

If he encountered it again later, he would eliminate it.

Until then, there was no need to waste time specifically trying to find the Yellow Millet Cult Leader.
