Terran Guardian - Chapter 4097

Chapter 4072: Life-Saving Jade Talisman

He had previously slain numerous half-saints from Shenfeng Prefecture.

However, it was a pity that

most of those ancient half-saints didn’t possess many resources.

The combined resources of so many fallen half-saints couldn’t compare to the resources Shen Changqing had accumulated when he slaughtered the chaotic geniuses of the outer realms in the Chaotic Lands.

There was no way around it;

those ancient half-saints who attacked were all prepared to die.

Therefore ,

they wouldn’t carry many resources.

In contrast, the geniuses of the outer realms were different.

Of course,

even a small amount is still valuable.

An ancient half-saint is still an ancient half-saint.

Even if they didn’t have many resources left, they were still not to be underestimated.

Up to now,

Shen Changqing possessed approximately fifty million top-grade immortal stones.

With normal cultivation, this was enough to equal fifty million years in the outside world.

In the first layer of space, that was five billion years, equivalent to five ancient immortal eras.

However—

fifty million top-grade immortal stones wasn’t a small amount, but it wasn’t a large amount either.

The Seven Profound Divine Tower is a veritable gold-devouring beast; no amount of immortal stones can satisfy its appetite.

Before breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, high-grade immortal stones weren’t particularly valuable.

A single top-grade immortal stone could be worth a large amount of high-grade immortal stones, enough for tens or even hundreds of millions of years of seclusion.

But now, after breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, things are different.

“Fifty million top-grade immortal stones is a lot, but it won’t last long. To improve my cultivation, I’ll still need a large number of top-grade immortal stones,”

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

He took stock of his current resources.

From various forces in Shenfeng Prefecture, he had obtained a total of one hundred and twenty Innate Emperor Weapons.

Although these Innate Emperor Weapons were all first-grade, they were still Innate Emperor Weapons.

Such a large number of Innate Emperor Weapons were quite valuable.

The only pity was that

, due to the original rules of the arena, the use of supreme treasures was forbidden, so many Half-Saints perished, leaving behind few supreme treasures.

Otherwise, the number of such innate imperial weapons could at least double, and their quality would be far superior to that of first-grade innate imperial weapons.

However,

Shen Changqing didn’t feel much regret.

He knew his own strength; after all, he had only recently broken through to the semi-saint realm. With his own resources, Shen Changqing was confident he could contend with those ancient semi-saints.

But if he were to use a supreme treasure or external force, that was uncertain.

The ancient semi-saints might not possess any top-tier supreme treasures.

But the problem was,

just because they didn’t meant the supreme powers of Shenfeng Prefecture didn’t have them.

It wasn’t impossible that some power might be willing to use a top-tier supreme treasure to kill him.

The higher one’s cultivation,

the more astonishing the power wielded by a supreme treasure!

Therefore,

Shen Changqing naturally couldn’t afford to be arrogant.

“Even the worst Innate Emperor Weapon is worth at least tens of thousands of top-grade immortal stones.

If all 120-plus Innate Emperor Weapons can be sold, over a million top-grade immortal stones wouldn’t be a problem.

A sixth-grade Innate Emperor Weapon, for example, is worth at least hundreds of thousands of top-grade immortal stones.

If all these Innate Emperor Weapons were sold, at the very least, tens of millions of top-grade immortal stones wouldn’t be an issue!”

Shen Changqing counted the Innate Emperor Weapons in his hands, thinking to himself.

He currently possessed many treasures, but some top-tier treasures were not yet available.

For example,

the Golden Chariot from before,

a ninth-grade Innate Emperor Weapon.

Such treasures were worth millions of top-grade immortal stones each.

To be precise,

“at least” should be added before “millions of top-grade immortal stones.”

However, selling treasures of this level would be too wasteful.

The Golden Chariot, such a treasure, could save lives in crucial moments.

Especially now that Shen Changqing had broken through to the Half-Saint realm, he could truly unleash the power of such a treasure.

Of course…

Shen Changqing possessed more than just these ninth-grade innate imperial weapons.

The Innate Lotus Platform! The

Sky-Crossing Boat!

The God-Slaying Spear!

These three treasures, bestowed upon him by the Jiang family, were all ninth-grade.

However,

since these treasures were gifts from the Jiang family, selling them directly would be somewhat of a slap in the face to the Jiang family.

Therefore, Shen Changqing had to abandon this idea.

…

Time passed.

Half a month later.

Jiang Daoxuan came to the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Inside the Cangyun Immortal Mansion, Shen Changqing poured tea for him. Jiang Daoxuan picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and then said, “I’ve heard that the Taiyi Immortal Sect has been targeting the Seven Profound Dao Sect recently . I wonder

if Fellow Daoist Shen has any confidence in dealing with this?” Shen Changqing remained silent for a moment, then said, “If a sage doesn’t appear, there shouldn’t be any problem. However, I’m not entirely sure whether any of the forces in the Star Luo Immortal Domain have sages behind them.” “The Star Luo Immortal Domain has considerable resources, but it’s ultimately just a top-tier immortal domain. As far as I know, those forces do have a few reclusive sages, but they’re all avoiding the Heavenly Tribulation and can’t truly make a move. The Taiyi Immortal Sect’s orders wouldn’t warrant them risking their sage resources. Furthermore… there are also some forces in the Star Luo Immortal Domain that are affiliated with the Jiang family. The Jiang family has already sent word that if other forces join forces, they won’t stand idly by.” Jiang Daoxuan put down his teacup and smiled calmly. “In that case, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Jiang!”

Shen Changqing smiled as well.

It had to be said

, the Jiang family’s arrangements were indeed comprehensive.

Ultimately,

the Taiyi Immortal Sect underestimated their relationship with the Jiang family.

If it were an ordinary power, even if the Taiyi Immortal Sect targeted them, the Jiang family wouldn’t react much.

After all, the Seven Profound Dao Sect was just an ordinary longevity sect, not particularly strong in terms of foundation and strength, insignificant to a behemoth like the Jiang family.

Unfortunately,

the connection with Jiu Ye meant that the relationship between the Seven Profound Dao Sect and the Jiang family was extraordinary.

The Jiang family had also taken countermeasures against the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s actions.

“However, the Taiyi Immortal Sect has been quite active lately, seemingly intending to attack our Jiang family.

Many of the Jiang family’s experts are now on high alert against an attack from the Taiyi Immortal Sect and cannot act rashly.

Even I, the venerable one, must guard against the old fogies of the Taiyi Immortal Sect making a move.

Therefore, there are not many things the Jiang family can do, but I can guarantee that the saints of the Taiyi Immortal Sect will absolutely not intervene.”

He continued.

Jiang Daoxuan paused, then took out another jade talisman and handed it to Shen Changqing.

“Furthermore—”

“This jade talisman contains a wisp of my Great Dao essence. If you crush it at a crucial moment, you can directly teleport through the void. Even if a Supreme Being intervenes, they absolutely cannot stop you.

With this, the Taiyi Immortal Sect will have no chance of killing you!”

“Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Jiang!”

Shen Changqing put away the jade talisman. Such a life-saving trump card was always beneficial to him.

However, he also knew that a Great Dao jade talisman containing the essence of a Dao Venerable was definitely not something commonplace.

Jiang Daoxuan’s willingness to offer such a life-saving trump card was enough to demonstrate the Jiang family’s importance placed on it.

Of course,

Shen Changqing also understood that

the other party was concerned about the safety of his ancestor; he was merely an afterthought.

But receiving a benefit was receiving a benefit, and that was undeniable.

Before leaving,

Jiang Daoxuan left behind a token.

“This token represents the Jiang family. Any force that is affiliated with the Jiang family will regard seeing this token as if the Jiang family members are present in person.

If you need anything, Fellow Daoist Shen, please feel free to give the order!”
