Terran Guardian - Chapter 4115

Chapter 4090: The Hidden Supreme

“That sword… Just what kind of foundation does the Seven Profound Dao Sect possess?!”

In the Divine Firmament Pavilion, Bei Ming Qingfeng was filled with shock. Even now, when he tried to recall that sword strike, he felt a sharp pain in his soul, as if everything he had just witnessed was chaos.

Invisible!

Unthinkable!

Even with his peak Immortal Emperor cultivation, he could hardly glimpse its mysteries.

Clearly,

the power of that sword strike had shattered his understanding.

It was hard to imagine that the Seven Profound Dao Sect would have such a terrifying existence.

Not only was the Divine Firmament Pavilion shocked, but the entire Taiyuan Prefecture, all the cultivators of all forces, were now silent.

The brilliance of that sword strike!

Despite their best efforts to recall it, they could not glimpse even a fraction of it.

It was clearly a sword strike deeply ingrained in their soul’s memory, yet they simply couldn’t remember it.

Some cultivators tried to forcefully comprehend it, only to end up with their souls annihilated and their bodies and paths destroyed.

Seeing this, the other cultivators dared not act rashly.

On the other side,

when the Great Sage Chenyuan fell, the fortune of the Taiyi Immortal Sect trembled.

The soul tablet belonging to the other party shattered. The sect expert guarding the main hall noticed something amiss, his expression changing drastically as he hurriedly reported the news upwards.

A moment later,

Daoist Taisu appeared.

He looked at the broken soul tablet, his face grim.

“Chen Yuan is dead! Who killed him—”

Daoist Taisu was furious, but also filled with doubt and uncertainty.

After all, Great Sage Chen Yuan was ordered to go to the Star Luo Immortal Realm to destroy the Seven Profound Dao Sect, but he had barely left before he perished.

This sudden turn of events naturally alarmed Daoist Taisu.

It should be known that

Great Sage Chen Yuan was not weak.

If a fellow Great Sage attacked, even if the opponent was no match, escaping would not be difficult.

In this era, there were very few truly capable experts above the Great Sage realm.

To kill Great Sage Chen Yuan, at least a Supreme Being would be needed.

But the problem was that Supreme Beings were top-tier experts no matter where they were placed.

At this thought,

Daoist Taisu closed his eyes, forcibly deducing the secrets of heaven using the remaining energy of Great Sage Chenyuan.

The next instant

, he saw in the void a sword that had cleaved the chaotic star river. That sword energy, seemingly capable of traversing the ages, caused a strong tremor in Daoist Taisu’s heart.

In an instant,

Daoist Taisu abruptly severed his divination.

His tightly closed eyes snapped open, bloodshot veins appearing in them.

“Such domineering sword energy!”

“Just a divination, and the reaction is already so intense. Who in the world possesses such sword cultivation?”

Daoist Taisu murmured to himself.

His first thought was of Jiang Daoxuan.

The other was revered as the Supreme Sword Master Taixuan, his sword cultivation reaching the pinnacle of creation; it was natural that he possessed the strength to kill Great Sage Chenyuan.

But quickly, Daoist Taisu dismissed this thought.

It wasn’t Jiang Daoxuan!

The aura of that Tai Xuan Sword Venerable was all too familiar to Tai Su Daojun.

If it weren’t for Jiang Daoxuan, the other party’s identity would become even more enigmatic.

“You remain here. Inform me immediately of any unusual activity!”

Tai Su Daojun gave a brief instruction to the sect’s experts before disappearing.

A moment later.

Inside the main hall of the sect.

Many high-ranking members of the sect appeared.

Upon seeing the arrival of so many powerful figures, Tai Su Daojun didn’t waste any words and went straight to the point: “The Great Sage Chenyuan has fallen. I want to know everything.

Investigate immediately and find out every detail.”

“We obey!”

The many sect experts were shocked upon hearing this news, but seeing Tai Su Daojun’s cold face, they dared not ask further questions and immediately agreed respectfully.

…

Soon.

The news of the Great Sage Chenyuan’s fall spread far and wide.

All the forces that learned of this news were shocked.

On the Yaotai Holy Land side…

When Qi Yuan heard this news, he almost thought he had misheard.

“What? Great Sage Chenyuan is an ancient Great Sage! How could the Seven Profound Dao Sect be a match for such an existence?!”

“This news has already spread like wildfire, it’s absolutely true. Some cultivators even witnessed a sword strike from the Seven Profound Dao Sect cleaving through the nine heavens and annihilating billions of miles of chaotic starry river.

To this day, remnants of sword energy still linger in the chaos.

Some cultivators suspect that the Seven Profound Dao Sect might be hiding a reclusive supreme being!”

Qi Xiu’s tone held a hint of relief at surviving a calamity.

If he had known the Seven Profound Dao Sect possessed such power, he would never have attacked them.

At the same time,

Qi Xiu was also incredibly fortunate.

The reclusive supreme being of the Seven Profound Dao Sect hadn’t attacked them.

Otherwise,

he would have had no chance of leaving Taiyuan Prefecture alive.

No—

not just him.

None of the allied forces would have escaped alive.

After all, a reclusive supreme being was no joke.

Those beings of that level are truly top-tier experts even in the entire Dongming Immortal Continent.

Who could have imagined that a mere Seven Profound Dao Sect could possess such a foundation?

Seeing Qi Xiu’s lingering fear and hearing his affirmative words, Qi Yuan finally believed it.

“No wonder!”

“No wonder this boy, despite ascending from the lower realm, was able to reach this level in such a short time; it turns out he has a reclusive supreme being as his backing!”

At this moment, Qi Yuan felt a sudden sense of enlightenment.

All the things that couldn’t be explained before now became clear.

Even the most exceptionally talented cultivators from the lower realms

couldn’t possibly reach such heights in less than a Celestial King era through their own efforts.

But with a reclusive supreme being guiding them, things would be different.

The three realms of Sainthood! Supreme beings

reign supreme!

Such beings possess unfathomable methods; it’s not impossible for them to cultivate an unparalleled genius.

Understanding this,

Qi Yuan felt a surge of intense crisis.

In the previous battle, the Yaotai Holy Land had already thoroughly offended the Seven Profound Dao Sect. Now, someone was telling him that the Seven Profound Dao Sect had a reclusive supreme being—wasn’t this a death sentence?

If that supreme being were to attack in anger, what could the Yaotai Holy Land use to defend itself?

Even if the Spirit Dust Sword Venerable were to attack, he would be insignificant before a supreme being.

After all,

even the ancient Great Saints of the Taiyi Immortal Sect perished on the spot, let alone a mere Saint.

Most importantly,

the supreme being of the Seven Profound Dao Sect was likely a peak supreme being.

Otherwise, how could the other party openly make a move?

The more Qi Yuan thought about it, the more alarmed he became, and at the same time, he grew increasingly angry with Shen Changqing.

If you had a hidden supreme being backing you up, you should have revealed it sooner!

What kind of nonsense is this, hiding things like this?

Now look what’s happened.

Yaotai Holy Land has thoroughly offended the other party.

Qi Yuan now wished he could turn back time, back to before all of this happened.

“Brother, you don’t really need to worry too much. The cultivation world has its own rules. How could such a supreme being easily attack us?

After all, during the battle at Taiyuan Prefecture, that supreme being didn’t even show up. It’s clear that in his eyes, such a conflict is just a minor skirmish, not worth taking seriously.”

Qi Xiu comforted him, and his words made Qi Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.

However.

Qi Yuan was still somewhat worried: “That’s true, but the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s decision to send an ancient Great Sage to fight is clearly a violation of the rules.

If the Supreme Being of the Seven Profound Dao Sect is enraged and decides to act at all costs, then we’ll be in big trouble!”

“A reclusive Supreme Being is ultimately beyond our ability to contend with. If that person makes a move, the Yaotai Holy Land will surely be destroyed. Given this, our concerns are understandable.

Instead of scaring ourselves,

we should observe the situation. Furthermore, with the Taiyi Immortal Sect losing an ancient Great Sage, that Taisu Daojun won’t let it go easily.

The Taiyi Immortal Sect will definitely take action.

If it really comes to that, the Seven Profound Dao Sect probably won’t have time to deal with us!”

Qi Xiu shook his head, showing concern but not being overly concerned.

If the two sides were evenly matched, he would be worried.

But since their strengths were clearly worlds apart, there was nothing to worry about.

After all, the gap was too large; worrying was pointless.

Therefore,

it was better to remain calm.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan glanced at his brother and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air: “You’re right, I was ultimately blinded by my own limited perspective!

Next, order men to secretly monitor the movements of the Seven Profound Dao Sect. As for

the rest, let’s wait and see!”

…

While the Yaotai Holy Land resigned itself to its fate, the other immortal forces that had previously attacked the Seven Profound Dao Sect were now trembling with

fear. If not for the power of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, many forces would have wanted to directly beg for mercy.

In the current situation, they were caught in a dilemma, and could only, like the Yaotai Holy Land, temporarily observe the situation.

However,

the reclusive supreme being’s speculation still made them uneasy.
