Terran Guardian - Chapter 4084

Chapter 4059: Slaying a Saint from Afar

“Send the order: relocate the entire sect!”

Upon receiving the message from the Heavenly Forging Palace, Zhuo Wuyai immediately ordered the relocation of the entire sect. He wasn’t

joking.

The Divine Heaven Domain was

still reeling from the events surrounding the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, and he had been living a life of constant anxiety. For the sake of the Sword Bright Dao Sect’s lineage, Zhuo Wuyai had even sent a portion of the sect’s prodigies to the Heavenly Forging Palace for refuge.

His aim was to prevent the sect’s lineage from being completely severed should a major calamity befall it.

Now,

given the opportunity to continue following Shen Changqing, how could Zhuo Wuyai refuse?

He had witnessed the recent battle in the Chaos Void.

Shen Changqing had single-handedly swept aside numerous ancient half-saints in the Divine Wind Continent, and he also had an unparalleled powerhouse backing him. With

such a powerful figure before them, it would be truly foolish for the Sword Bright Dao Sect not to follow him.

Staying in the Divine Heaven Domain would ultimately limit the Sword Bright Dao Sect’s future achievements.

At best.

It’s just that the sect might produce one or two Immortal Emperors.

But if they were to pledge allegiance to Shen Changqing, they might one day produce a Half-Saint and become a true sect of immortality.

Therefore,

Zhuo Wuyai didn’t hesitate at all.

In less than three days, the cultivators of the Sword Bright Dao Sect had already gathered at the Heavenly Forging Mansion.

Upon arriving at the Heavenly Forging Mansion, Zhuo Wuyai went to pay his respects to Shen Changqing immediately.

“Greetings, Sect Master Shen!”

Inside the Immortal Mansion, Zhuo Wuyai’s expression was respectful.

Shen Changqing nodded: “Sect Master Zhuo, there’s no need to be so polite. It’s been many years since we last met. Sect Master Zhuo has already stepped into the Immortal Emperor realm, congratulations!”

“Sect Master Shen is too kind. My humble cultivation is insignificant compared to Sect Master Shen’s.”

Zhuo Wuyai’s expression was humble. He had only barely managed to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm with great difficulty, while this man had already attained immortality and stepped into the Half-Saint realm in one step.

The difference between the two was like that between a firefly and the bright moon.

Zhuo Wuyai naturally wouldn’t naively believe that his mere Immortal Emperor realm cultivation was enough to catch the other party’s eye.

This person had brought the Jianming Dao Sect along simply out of past favors. Zhuo Wuyai understood

this perfectly. Therefore, his second sentence was a direct declaration of loyalty. “We are honored by Sect Master Shen’s high regard. The entire Jianming Dao Sect is willing to serve Sect Master Shen to the death!” “It is best that the Jianming Dao Sect has such a heart.” Shen Changqing nodded slightly, then flicked his finger, and a jade slip landed in front of Zhuo Wuyai. “This is a legacy I obtained years ago, capable of leading directly to the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm. Today, I bestow it upon the Jianming Dao Sect.” “Thank you, Sect Master Shen!” Zhuo Wuyai’s face was filled with excitement as he respectfully accepted the legacy jade slip with both hands. He didn’t disturb him further, said a few words, and then respectfully withdrew. After leaving the Immortal Mansion, Zhuo Wuyai looked at the sky outside, his grip on the legacy jade slip tightening even more. A top-tier Immortal Emperor legacy! This is a treasure that the Sword Bright Dao Sect desperately desires but cannot obtain. For many long-lived forces, the inheritance of an Immortal Emperor is insignificant. But for ordinary forces, such a top-tier Immortal Emperor inheritance is something they might not be able to acquire even if they exhausted their entire sect’s resources. It’s a matter of extremes: some are starving while others are drowning in wealth! Inherited cultivation techniques vary greatly depending on the power. The Sword Bright Dao Sect’s foundation is ultimately shallow ; Zhuo Wuyai can be considered the first Immortal Emperor in the sect’s history. Immortal Emperor inheritances are scarce within the sect. If it weren’t for Zhuo Wuyai’s fortunate encounter, they wouldn’t have been able to truly break through this barrier. Now, obtaining a complete Immortal Emperor inheritance is of great significance to the Sword Bright Dao Sect . As Zhuo Wuyai left, Shen Changqing picked up the teacup on the stone table, took a small sip, and remained calm. Immortal Emperor inheritances are practically commonplace for him now. Shen Changqing doesn’t even remember how many Immortal Emperor inheritances he possesses. Taking out one is insignificant. … The next day. The cultivators from both sides gathered. Shen Changqing didn’t waste any words; with a flick of his sleeve, a celestial ship appeared out of thin air. This celestial ship was enormous, covering the entire void of the Heavenly Forging Palace, and the oppressive aura it emitted was terrifying. “A Primordial Emperor Weapon!” Bai Lianchuan looked at the celestial ship and couldn’t help but take a deep breath. With his discerning eye, he could tell that the celestial ship was of extraordinary quality, a true Primordial Emperor Weapon. “Please, everyone!” Shen Changqing stepped onto the celestial ship, then looked down and said calmly. Hearing this, the cultivators from the two major forces didn’t hesitate and boarded the celestial ship directly. The two major forces had a combined number of millions of cultivators, but there was no crowding after boarding the celestial ship. Seeing this, Shen Changqing moved his divine sense, and saw the celestial ship tremble. The next moment, it broke through space and disappeared into the Divine Heaven Domain. “The Heavenly Forging Palace is gone! The Sword Bright Dao Sect is gone too!” “Without these two major sects, the Divine Heaven Domain will probably have a lot of trouble in the future!” Many cultivators from various forces had uncertain expressions upon seeing this. Losing one Sword Bright Dao Sect wouldn’t be a big deal; this force only has one Immortal Emperor, so its impact on the Divine Heaven Domain is limited. But the Heavenly Forging Palace is different. The Heavenly Forging Palace is currently recognized as the strongest in the Divine Heaven Domain. With the Heavenly Forging Palace in charge, other Immortal Domains dare not rashly extend their reach into the Divine Heaven Domain. But now that the Heavenly Forging Palace is gone, things are different. The Divine Heaven Domain’s strength has been greatly reduced. If it were only a mid-level Immortal Domain, it wouldn’t be so bad, but now that the Divine Heaven Domain has advanced to a high-level Immortal Domain, the problems it faces are considerable. It can be said that the departure of the Heavenly Forging Palace has put pressure on many local forces. But some forces also want to seize the opportunity to rise and directly replace the Heavenly Forging Palace’s position.

With the Heavenly Forging Mansion just departed, various forces are still observing, making no further moves. However, many cultivators have already vaguely sensed the undercurrents beneath this calm surface.

…

The Chaotic Void.

The instant the immortal ship appeared, a terrifying aura suddenly descended. Billions of miles of chaotic primordial energy abruptly converged, transforming into a sky-covering hand that slammed down fiercely towards the immortal ship.

“Boom!!!”

The terrifying power shattered space, and the immense pressure caused all the cultivators on the immortal ship to pale in horror.

Shen Changqing stared at the descending hand, his expression also extremely solemn.

In that instant,

the Seven Profound Divine Tower had already detected the opponent’s aura.

“Later Saint!”

Shen Changqing murmured to himself.

Since breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, his control over the Seven Profound Divine Tower had deepened considerably.

Previously, it could only accept Half-Saint realm cultivators, but now, even Saints and Great Saint realm experts could be directly accepted.

Whether a Supreme Being could be accepted was currently unknown to Shen Changqing. However, the Seven Profound Divine Tower remained completely silent regarding Dao Venerable Realm experts.

This indicated that the Seven Profound Divine Tower was not capable of accepting experts of that level at present.

Only after he broke through to the Saint Realm, or even a higher level, would there be a possibility of accepting a Dao Venerable.

The instant Shen Changqing’s thoughts settled, he saw an unparalleled sword aura slash across the void, instantly cleaving the descending hand in two.

The remaining force tore through layers of space, revealing the figure of a Daoist, who stared in horror at the incoming sword.

“No—”

He tried to escape, but under the lock-on suppression of the sword aura, his body was completely immobilized.

The next moment.

The sword aura struck.

The Daoist’s body shattered instantly, and even his soul was completely annihilated.

“Boom!”

After the sword aura killed the Daoist, the remaining force still left a deep, unhealed rift in the vast chaotic void.

Everything caught in the blast was reduced to ashes by this power.

The other cultivators who had been lying in wait fell silent, their last vestiges of desire to intervene vanishing.

“Sword Venerable Tai Xuan!”

a Saint murmured, his face filled with lingering fear.

A Saint had appeared before them, and the other hadn’t even shown himself, yet a single sword strike from afar had utterly annihilated him, leaving not a trace of his remains.

How could such power not terrify the other cultivators?

They had initially thought Jiang Daoxuan had already departed, which was why they had attempted to intercept Shen Changqing.

But now it seemed

Jiang Daoxuan hadn’t left at all.

Therefore, the powerful figures from other forces dared not act rashly.

With a Dao Venerable before them, unless an equal powerhouse intervened, the other cultivators, no matter how many there were, were merely ants.

They certainly didn’t want to risk their lives to kill Shen Changqing.

It could be said…

Jiang Daoxuan’s sword strike completely shattered the morale of all the powerful figures.

“Thank you, Senior Jiang!”

On the immortal ship, Shen Changqing cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the void.

He knew Jiang Daoxuan was secretly protecting him, so he felt little emotional about the Saint’s attack.

He was even more calm about the Saint’s demise.

Saints are powerful!

But they cannot contend with Dao Venerables.

If the other party didn’t attack, fine; but if they did, it was a certain death.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing glanced at the surrounding void. The auras of those hidden powerhouses had mostly dissipated.

It was clear that Jiang Daoxuan’s attack was enough to instill fear in them, preventing them from taking action.

Without Jiang Daoxuan’s secret protection, it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to escape unscathed.

…

Soon,

news of Shen Changqing leaving the Divine Heaven Domain and Jiang Daoxuan’s protection in remotely killing a Saint spread like wildfire.

Every power that learned of this news was secretly shocked.

“A Dao Venerable is protecting him! What is the relationship between this boy and that Supreme Sword Venerable, that a Dao Venerable would go to such lengths?”

“With such a powerful figure protecting him, it seems impossible to kill this boy!”

They originally thought they had overestimated the relationship between the two sides, but now it seems they were still underestimating them.

For a Dao Venerable to intervene repeatedly, and even secretly protect him, is enough to show that their relationship is definitely not simple.

As long as Jiang Daoxuan is around, killing Shen Changqing is absolutely impossible.

Unless…

another Dao Venerable intervenes.

But the problem is, experts of this level are rare even in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. The possibility of someone personally intervening for a newly promoted Half-Saint is slim.

Besides,

Jiang Daoxuan is not comparable to ordinary Dao Venerables.

With such an ancient Dao Venerable present, even other Dao Venerables would have to think twice before intervening.
