Terran Guardian - Chapter 4114

Chapter 4089: The Transformation of the Cangwu Mountains

In the vast Taiyuan Prefecture, almost all cultivators were now looking towards the Seven Profound Dao Sect. The sword energy that had cleaved through the nine heavens had made them forget to breathe.

The shattered void lingered, unable to heal for a long time.

At the same time,

the heavens and earth trembled and hummed, and torrential rain of blood fell.

A Great Sage had fallen!

Blood rain fell from the sky!

At the same time, the remains of the fallen Great Sage Chenyuan also transformed into a torrential rain of blood, falling alongside the blood rain of the heavens and earth.

Every drop of blood from these ancient Great Sages contained terrifying and astonishing power.

But in fact,

the violent power contained in this blood rain seemed to have been completely smoothed out by that sword, with only the purest energy dissipating.

At that moment,

the Cangwu Mountains trembled.

A massive amount of immortal energy erupted.

The nine superior immortal veins seemed to have received some great tonic, undergoing an astonishing transformation.

The next breath—

billions of rays of light shot into the sky, the purple energy of heaven and earth surged, and endless mysteries of creation permeated all directions.

“A top-grade immortal vein!”

Shen Changqing uttered, a look of shock on his face.

Previously, within the Cangwu Mountains, there were high-grade immortal veins transforming towards the top-grade level, but this transformation process was extremely slow; without sufficient time, it was impossible to succeed.

Unexpectedly,

the power that Great Sage Chenyuan had dissipated into the world after his fall here became the key to the immortal vein’s advancement.

At this moment,

the top-grade immortal vein was taking shape.

The purple aura and radiant light of the heavens and earth were the best proof.

At this instant,

the immortal energy of the entire Seven Profound Dao Sect surged, reaching an astonishing level compared to the past.

From Great Sage Chenyuan’s attack to his fall, and now the advancement of the immortal vein, everything happened in an instant.

Only now

did the cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect recover from their shock.

A Great Sage realm being instantly killed!

Such a scene was naturally shocking.

On Qingqiu Peak,

Ji Yang was also filled with horror.

He was prepared to fight to the death, but he never expected that an invading Great Sage would fall so easily on the spot.

Recalling the mystery of that sword strike, Ji Yang felt a faint stinging pain in his soul.

“Could the one who made the move be that person?”

A figure flashed through his mind, and he quickly suppressed his shock.

In any case ,

having someone of this level in charge was enough to put his mind at ease.

“A single blade of grass can kill a Great Sage!”

“Such cultivation is truly heaven-reaching—”

Ji Yang sighed inwardly.

In his previous life at his peak, an ancient Great Sage would have been nothing to him.

But now,

that level of existence was far beyond his ability to contend with.

The fact that the Seven Profound Dao Sect had an unparalleled expert in charge made Ji Yang feel at ease.

…

A single blade of grass!

Killed a Great Sage!

The impact of this scene was also immense for Shen Changqing.

Originally, Jiu Ye claimed that his strength had recovered somewhat and that he could deal with a Great Sage. Shen Changqing had assumed that Jiu Ye was at most capable of contending with a Great Sage.

However, he hadn’t expected that

a mid-stage Great Sage couldn’t withstand a casual strike from Jiu Ye.

The profound mystery of that sword strike still left Shen Changqing feeling deeply astonished.

He had thought that after breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, the gap between him and Jiu Ye would narrow somewhat.

But now it seemed that

the difference between them was still like heaven and earth.

Even a Great Sage would be nothing more than a slightly larger ant before such a powerful figure.

“Thank you so much for your help, Senior!”

Shen Changqing said gratefully.

Jiu Ye replied, “No need for that. You concealed the secrets of heaven for me, so it was only right that I protect you.

Fortunately, I am currently injured and my strength is greatly diminished. If I were at my peak, it wouldn’t be so easy to intervene!”

Hearing this,

Shen Changqing naturally understood the meaning behind Jiu Ye’s words.

A Lord of the Great Dao!

That was an existence that had broken the upper limit of chaos in this realm.

If a powerhouse of this caliber were to make a move, how could the Chaos Heavenly Dao tolerate it?

Ultimately,

in Shen Changqing’s view, a powerhouse at the level of a Great Dao Master would be too destructive to a region of Chaos, so the Heavenly Dao has its own rules to suppress it.

Just like in the lower universes, the strength of cultivators is also suppressed.

Any cultivator who dares to break this suppression will incur divine punishment.

After all,

the existence of the Heavenly Dao

is to maintain the operation of a region’s Chaos.

In short, it acts according to the rules and order.

Currently, Jiu Ye’s strength is greatly diminished, no longer possessing the cultivation of a Great Dao Master, so the Heavenly Dao has not reacted to his attack.

If the opponent were in his prime, the Heavenly Dao would definitely react upon his attack.

However—

even so,

Shen Changqing also heard a barely perceptible weakness in Jiu Ye’s tone.

Jiu Ye said, “For the next period of time, I will be in a deep slumber again. Unless it is a matter of life and death, please do not disturb me!”

“This junior understands,”

Shen Changqing nodded in response.

The opponent’s attack this time was swift and decisive, instantly killing the Great Sage Chenyuan. It’s understandable that he expended a great deal of energy.

As his words fell, Jiu Ye also fell silent.

Seeing the opponent fall into a deep sleep, Shen Changqing looked out into the void, his expression turning cold.

“The Great Sage has made his move!”

“It seems the Taiyi Immortal Sect is going to completely disregard everything!”

Previously, the Taiyi Immortal Sect still maintained some semblance of order. Despite its dissatisfaction with the Seven Profound Dao Sect, it didn’t directly take action, only allowing other immortal forces in the Star Luo Immortal Domain to launch a siege.

But now,

the defeat of the Yaotai Holy Land

has caused the Taiyi Immortal Sect to completely break its rules.

The intervention of Great Sage Chenyuan was a signal.

Next,

the Taiyi Immortal Sect will definitely not let

this go. After all, a Great Sage has fallen; no matter what, the Taiyi Immortal Sect cannot swallow this insult.

“The sect should prepare as soon as possible!”

Shen Changqing’s expression turned cold, his killing intent towards the Taiyi Immortal Sect reaching its peak.

However, he also knew that the gap between himself and the Taiyi Immortal Sect was considerable.

He didn’t yet have the ability to attack them.

Right now,

what Shen Changqing needed to do was prepare for the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s counterattack.

With Great Sage Chenyuan fallen,

how could the Taiyi Immortal Sect remain completely inactive?

Currently, the only force capable of rivaling the Taiyi Immortal Sect is the Jiang family.

Thinking this,

Shen Changqing took out a communication jade talisman and sent out the message.

A moment later, the talisman vibrated.

When Shen Changqing’s divine sense entered it, Jiang Daoxuan’s voice rang out.

“Coming immediately!”

These three simple words revealed no emotional fluctuation.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing stopped thinking and began dealing with the changes within the sect.

The Great Sage had fallen!

His cultivation had dissipated into the world.

A considerable portion of it, mixed with his flesh and remains, fell into the Cangwu Mountains, causing a sudden change in the mountain’s immortal energy, and the immortal veins also advanced accordingly.

Now, the concentration of immortal energy in the Seven Profound Dao Sect was several times higher than before.

Most importantly,

the Seven Profound Dao Sect originally only had nine high-grade immortal veins.

But now it was different.

The nine high-grade immortal veins had transformed into twenty-three high-grade immortal veins in one fell swoop, with some even advancing to the top-grade category.

The immortal energy supplied by such top-grade immortal veins is more than ten times stronger than that of high-grade immortal veins.

Most importantly,

the immortal energy of top-grade immortal veins is extremely pure, completely incomparable to that of high-grade immortal veins.

Shen Changqing could feel terrifying immortal energy surging into his body from all directions with just a single breath, ultimately dissipating into his inner universe.

Therefore,

the changes brought about by top-grade immortal veins are not merely comparable in terms of immortal energy content.

In fact, the value of a single top-grade immortal vein is unmatched even by a hundred high-grade immortal veins.

Most importantly,

top-grade immortal veins can nurture top-grade immortal mines.

This is the key.

As a derivative of immortal veins, immortal mines, theoretically, cannot be completely depleted as long as the immortal vein continues.

Even if immortal mines are exhausted in a short time, with the accumulation of immortal vein power over time, new immortal mines will eventually be born.

And top-grade immortal mines have the opportunity to nurture top-grade immortal stones!

That’s right.

It’s only an opportunity,

not a certainty.

As far as Shen Changqing knew, most of the immortal stones in top-grade immortal mines were of the high-grade level, with only a small number having the chance to be upgraded to top-grade immortal stones.

Even so, the significance of top-grade immortal mines was extraordinary.

After all, the reserves of an immortal mine were astonishing, and even if top-grade immortal stones only accounted for a very small percentage of the entire mine, it was still a considerable number.

Moreover,

as mentioned earlier,

as long as the immortal vein was not broken, immortal mines could be continuously generated.

At most,

it would just take some time for immortal mines to be generated.

In other words,

possessing a complete top-grade immortal vein was equivalent to possessing an inexhaustible supply of top-grade immortal mines.

“Right now, I happen to lack top-grade immortal stones. Now that the sect has an additional top-grade immortal vein, we have the opportunity to mine a large quantity of top-grade immortal stones.

Given time, the immortal stones that this immortal vein can provide may even be more abundant than many longevity immortal mines!”

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

This was naturally good news.

After all, longevity immortal mines could eventually be depleted, but immortal veins, theoretically, were inexhaustible.

As long as the foundation of the immortal vein is not damaged, it can exist eternally.

Of course,

Shen Changqing also understands that

normally, it’s unlikely that someone would want to plunder the creation secrets of a fallen Great Sage.

More likely, after such a being falls, their remains will breed strange phenomena, eventually turning this place into a forbidden zone for life.

The reason why the Seven Profound Dao Sect is in this situation is due to Jiu Ye’s methods.

Since an existence of that level can kill a Great Sage, it would be easy for them to seize the cultivation and creation of a Great Sage and nurture a world.

Subsequently,

Shen Changqing’s divine sense spread out, quickly covering the entire Cangwu Mountain Range.

Every inch of the immortal vein was under his divine sense’s coverage.

He saw one immortal vein that resembled a great dragon, running through the entire Cangwu Mountain Range, with a vast and astonishing immortal energy emanating from it, and an ancient and heavy aura permeating all directions.

Upon seeing this immortal vein, Shen Changqing already understood that this was the top-grade immortal vein that had been promoted.
