Terran Guardian - Chapter 4092

Chapter 4067: Supreme Foundation

“However—”

“Most semi-saints who break through to the realm only have a Longevity Path that is at most two or three hundred feet wide. Even for some top geniuses, a Longevity Path that is six hundred feet wide is already rare.

Those who can truly open a Longevity Path of nine hundred feet are extremely few.

When I broke through to the semi-saint realm, my Longevity Path was nine hundred feet wide.

It can be said that nine hundred feet is the true limit, the limit that many Dao Masters could reach in the semi-saint realm!”

“Therefore, a Longevity Path of nine hundred feet is almost considered a qualification to become a stable Dao Master!”

“Of course, this is just a rumor.” “

A Longevity Path of nine hundred feet doesn’t necessarily mean one can break through to the Dao Master realm, but those who become Dao Masters all have a Longevity Path of this level.

You must know that the Longevity Path bears the power of heaven and earth, and that is one of them.

Furthermore, the Longevity Path is the foundation of a cultivator.

A ten-thousand-foot-tall building starts from the ground; if the foundation of the Longevity Path is insufficient, it cannot bear too much, and future growth will naturally be limited!”

Jiu Ye said calmly.

There was a hint of emotion in his tone that he himself didn’t realize.

Jiu Ye had long been aware of Shen Changqing’s talent

. But when the other truly opened up a nine-hundred-zhang-long Path of Longevity, he was secretly shocked.

The reason was simple.

This Path of Longevity was the foundation of a Dao Master.

Throughout the ages, countless geniuses had emerged, but how many could truly forge such a supreme foundation?

In Jiu Ye’s era, many peerless geniuses who aspired to be number one on the Immortal Emperor Stele, or even the Half-Saint Stele, hadn’t reached this point.

This was quite normal.

If a supreme foundation were so easy to forge, then Dao Masters wouldn’t be so rare.

If

a Ruler is the strongest being in a region of chaos,

then a Dao Master is someone who has broken through the shackles of chaos and stepped into a higher level.

Such a realm is naturally not something everyone has the qualification to break through.

No matter how monstrous your talent, reaching the level of a Dao Master is extremely difficult.

Of course,

as Jiu Ye said…

A supreme foundation is merely the threshold for breaking through to the level of a Great Dao Master.

Whether someone can truly reach that point ultimately depends on their own foundation and opportunities.

In short,

possessing a supreme foundation doesn’t guarantee a breakthrough to the Great Dao Master realm,

but without one, a breakthrough is impossible.

Currently,

Shen Changqing possesses a supreme foundation, which, in Jiu Ye’s view, is the first step.

What follows depends on his own opportunities.

But compared to other cultivators, Shen Changqing’s ability to take this step is already enough to make other cultivators look up to him.

After all,

most cultivators

don’t even have the qualification to take this step.

Listening to Jiu Ye’s words, Shen Changqing gained a deeper understanding of the Great Dao of Longevity. He

then

continued to ask Jiu Ye about matters concerning the Half-Saint realm.

Jiu

Ye answered all his questions.

After their conversation, Shen Changqing was in high spirits: “Thank you for your guidance, Senior!”

“Cultivate diligently. With your unparalleled foundation, you’ve already taken the first step, but don’t become complacent. Whether you can truly reach that level is still unknown!”

Jiu Ye reminded him, then fell silent again.

The unwavering Dao heart of this Xuan Tian Sword Master was rare among the many geniuses he had encountered.

Some things didn’t need further reminders.

“How is your recovery going, Senior?”

Shen Changqing changed the subject and asked again.

Jiu Ye replied, “Not much change. To truly recover, without external help, it will naturally take longer!”

Hearing this ,

Shen Changqing nodded.

Theoretically, given time, it wouldn’t be a problem for this person to recover their cultivation to the level of a Dao Master.

But the problem lay in the word “time.”

The time required to truly recover one’s cultivation was immeasurable.

However— for

a powerhouse of this level, the rare and precious materials needed for recovery were top-tier; ordinary treasures were of little use to them.

Searching for such treasures is no easy task.

However, in Shen Changqing’s opinion, Jiu Ye’s recovery to the Great Saint realm is quite impressive.

“Speaking of which, if that person senses your presence, senior, could they directly intervene?” Jiu Ye, understanding Shen Changqing’s concerns,

replied

calmly, “The Chaos Heavenly Dao has its own rules. For a being at the level of a Great Dao Master, intervening is not so easy.

The reason I was able to intervene briefly back then was because I originated from this Chaos.

As for that person… although he is strong, he was seriously injured in that battle. He doesn’t yet have the qualifications to truly intervene across a Chaos.

As long as you don’t leave this Chaos, you don’t need to worry about his existence.”

These words eased Shen Changqing’s expression slightly.

But before he could speak, Jiu Ye’s voice rang out again.

“But you must understand, the methods of the Lord of the Great Dao are never limited to this. Even if he cannot act personally, he can still utilize the resources left in this Chaos to make the forces belonging to this Chaos act.

The Taiyi Immortal Sect is a case in point!”

“What exactly is the relationship between the Taiyi Immortal Sect and that person?”

Shen Changqing frowned, asking the question that had long been on his mind.

For so many years, the Taiyi Immortal Sect had been searching for Jiu Ye’s whereabouts, even going so far as to wage war against the Jiang family. It was impossible for there to be no reason.

Jiu Ye said, “If I’m not mistaken, that Dao Ancestor of the Taiyi Immortal Sect should have some connection with that person, perhaps even being his disciple.”

After all, it’s normal for the Lord of the Great Dao to leave behind some opportunities and inheritances, given his myriad forms.

Jiu Ye wasn’t just guessing.

When the Dao Ancestor’s Dharma Image attacked from afar, he sensed a familiar aura emanating from it.

Unsurprisingly,

the inheritance the Dao Ancestor received was left behind by that one.

In other words, the Taiyi Immortal Sect could be seen as a continuation of that one’s legacy.

“I see!”

Shen Changqing’s expression became clear.

No wonder

the Taiyi Immortal Sect was so persistent in pursuing Jiu Ye; it turned out there was this connection. This explained many things.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing chatted with Jiu Ye for a while before the latter fell back into slumber.

As for Shen Changqing himself, with a thought, he saw several disciples, led by Ming He, arrive shortly.

“Greetings, Master!” The

disciples bowed respectfully to Shen Changqing with reverence.

The latter looked at them, flicked his sleeve, and several stone benches appeared out of thin air.

“No need to be so formal, please sit.”

“Thank you, Master!” The

group then took their seats.

Looking at his disciples, Shen Changqing’s expression was somewhat wistful.

Gu Qingyang and Ji Yang were absent; only Ming He, Yu Ren, Han Yan, Gu Bai, Yu Yu Shenjun, and Gu Qingfeng had arrived.

Compared to the former, their aptitude and cultivation were average.

Even though Shen Changqing had originally secured acquired bloodlines for them, their effects were limited now that they had broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Only Gu Qingfeng, having received an unparalleled opportunity, had cultivated an innate bloodline, making his aptitude superior.

Looking at them,

Shen Changqing didn’t waste any words. With a flick of his sleeve, six Taixu Creation Fruits appeared, landing before each of them.

“These are Taixu Creation Fruits. They are not for those with innate immortal bodies, but can significantly enhance their aptitude and foundation.

I obtained these in the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, and I bestow them upon you now. Each of you will receive one. Go and refine them yourselves.

With these rare treasures, your aptitude, while not comparable to innate immortal bodies, will at least be much stronger than before.”

“If we can find an opportunity later, breaking through to the Half-Saint realm and attaining immortality shouldn’t be a problem.” The

Taixu Creation Fruit!

Shen Changqing’s words caused everyone to gasp, their faces filled with shock as they looked at the immortal fruit before them.

The next moment,

Minghe took a deep breath, barely suppressing his shock, but his voice still trembled slightly.

“Master—”

“Alright, there’s no need for so many formalities. Take it and get back to cultivating.

Following me for so many years, only barely breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm—it’s shameful to even mention it.”

Shen Changqing waved his hand, impatiently dismissing them.

But these words moved Minghe and the others deeply.

However, they understood that some things didn’t need to be said too much, so they all bowed to Shen Changqing again before each taking a Taixu Creation Fruit and leaving.

Not long after they left, Ye Yun and Qin Hao arrived together.

“Greetings, Master!” “

Alright, here’s the Taixu Creation Fruit. One for each of you. It will enhance your aptitude. Take it and cultivate diligently.”

As the two bowed, Shen Changqing casually took out two Taixu Creation Fruits, dividing them equally.

Then

, with a flick of his sleeve, an irresistible Daoist power appeared, instantly teleporting Ye Yun and the other away.

Only when they appeared outside the Immortal Abode did the two recover from their astonishment.

They exchanged a glance, then looked at the immortal fruit in their hands, their faces showing gratitude. They then bowed in unison towards the Immortal Abode before taking their leave.

…

“The Taixu Creation Fruits have been given. I wonder which of you will break through to the Half-Saint realm and attain immortality!” Shen

Changqing sat beneath the ancient Bodhi tree, took a small sip of tea, and his expression became much calmer.

The Taixu Creation Fruit was no longer of much use to him, so he kept all the Taixu Creation Fruits he obtained from the Crimson Jade Dao Palace.

His purpose was to improve the aptitude of his disciples.

After all, apart from a few like Gu Qingyang who possessed innate immortal bodies, the aptitude of the remaining disciples was quite average.

Those like Gu Qingfeng and Ye Yun were considered to have great fortune and could achieve much in the future, while the rest, like Minghe, would likely struggle to even break through to the half-saint level without great opportunities.

Bestowing the Taixu Creation Fruit now was a way of giving these disciples a helping hand.

As for how far they would go, that would depend on their own fate.
