Chapter 4135: Jun Tiannan’s Goodwill

“To express their gratitude for the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s assistance, the Main Realm has decided to grant your sect ten slots for entering Emperor’s Fall Star,”

Jun Tiannan said calmly.

Shen Changqing smiled upon hearing this.

“Thank you, fellow Daoist!”

The ten slots for Emperor’s Fall Star were naturally invaluable.

Having spent years on Emperor’s Fall Star, Shen Changqing was well aware of its importance.

Numerous Great Dao Immortal Steles contained immense opportunities.

Even a small glimpse into them would be immensely beneficial.

For a normal force to obtain a slot on Emperor’s Fall Star was destined to be difficult.

After all,

Emperor’s Fall Star was controlled by the Crimson Heaven Realm.

The latter’s strength, even within the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, belonged to the top tier. In the Nine Heavens

Immortal Realm,

and even among the many Chaos Territories,

there were actually very few forces truly qualified to confront the Crimson Heaven Realm head-on. The fact that

the Crimson Heaven Realm could offer ten slots at once was naturally a good thing for the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Of course…

Shen Changqing knew that Jun Tiannan had likely put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.

The latter smiled faintly, “Fellow Daoist Shen, there’s no need for such politeness. If it weren’t for your sect’s intervention, defeating the Yan Yang Realm wouldn’t have been so easy.

In this battle, we not only defended Emperor’s Fall Star, but also minimized our losses. It

‘s just that my words carry little weight; otherwise, I would have certainly fought for a few more slots for your sect!” Jun Tiannan wasn’t exaggerating. In his view, for cultivators like Shen Changqing, as long as a good relationship could be established, there would be no loss in the future. It would be even better if the other party remembered his kindness. However, the matter of Emperor’s Fall Star wasn’t something Jun Tiannan could decide alone. Ten slots weren’t a lot, but they weren’t easy to come by either. Many forces paid a heavy price to obtain even one slot for Emperor’s Fall Star; to obtain ten at once was something only some major powers could achieve. “Having ten spots is already a pleasant surprise; I wouldn’t dare dream of more,” Shen Changqing smiled slightly. He had no reason to refuse Jun Tiannan’s goodwill. Then, the two sat down and discussed the Dao. As a top-tier half-saint, Jun Tiannan’s insights and understanding of the Great Dao of Longevity were far beyond those of ordinary half-saints. Shen Changqing benefited greatly from their discussion. Similarly, Shen Changqing’s True Martial Dao, forged using himself as a furnace and the three thousand Great Daos as fuel, was also far superior to ordinary Great Daos of Longevity. Listening to Shen Changqing explain his own Great Dao, Jun Tiannan also gained some understanding. After their discussion, both were satisfied. Then, Shen Changqing rose to take his leave. He had been on Emperor Meteor Star for a thousand years and naturally couldn’t stay there indefinitely. With the situation in the Eastern Immortal Realm still unclear and the sect’s affairs far from peaceful, Shen Changqing had no other business to attend to and would return to his sect. Although Jun Tiannan was somewhat reluctant, he didn’t force them to stay. Three days later, a celestial ship left Emperor Meteor Star and disappeared into the chaotic void. However— before heading to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, Shen Changqing also went to the Taiwei Realm to send back the original group of cultivators from the Taiwei Realm. The battle on Emperor Meteor Star had caused significant losses to the cultivators of the Taiwei Realm, but quite a few actually survived. These surviving cultivators had all obtained some fortuitous opportunities. Some even comprehended the Great Dao Immortal Stele, glimpsed a wisp of supreme Dao charm, and their cultivation and strength greatly increased. After learning of this, the other cultivators who remained in the Taiwei Realm were all filled with regret, slapping their thighs. “I missed an opportunity! If only I had volunteered!” “What a pity! I missed this opportunity; who knows when the next one will come—” Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even the Immortal Emperors of the various branches of the Taiwei Realm were now filled with deep regret. They had initially assumed the recruited cultivators were merely cannon fodder to be sent to their deaths. Little did they expect that this would actually offer a fortuitous opportunity. What kind of place was Emperor Fall Star! Many Immortal Emperors had heard of its reputation! Even the once-powerful Taiwei Realm lacked the qualifications to enter Emperor Fall Star and comprehend the Supreme Dao. Now, a mere Immortal King could comprehend the Supreme Dao on Emperor Fall Star—such an extraordinary opportunity was bound to inspire envy. For many Immortal Emperors, reaching this level was practically their limit. To advance further, they needed to find an even greater opportunity. And comprehending even a fraction of the Supreme Dao on Emperor Fall Star would be enough to propel their cultivation forward by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately— it was too late now. If they had known they could win this battle and gain the qualification to comprehend the Supreme Dao of Emperor Fall Star, they would have gone to war no matter what. As for those cultivators who perished on Emperor Fall Star and did not return alive, they were automatically ignored. Competing for an opportunity— how could there be no risk whatsoever? Perish! That was perfectly normal— besides, of the cultivators from the Taiwei Realm who went on this expedition, at most half perished, and the other half returned alive. This mortality rate was considered very low by other cultivators. Normally, a great opportunity of this magnitude would be described as a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. But the matter was already settled, and regret was useless. The other cultivators could only secretly regret their actions; there was nothing else they could do. … On this day…

The sky above Taiyuan Prefecture was torn apart as a celestial vessel crashed through space, causing a commotion that naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators.

For a moment

, many even thought a powerful enemy had arrived.

However,

upon seeing the celestial vessel, their tense minds relaxed.

“The army of the Seven Profound Dao Sect!”

“After many years, the Seven Profound Dao Sect has finally returned!”

Since the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s army set off for the Taiwei Realm, all forces in Taiyuan Prefecture had been secretly worried.

There was no way around it.

The current situation was chaotic; the Taiyi Immortal Sect and the Jiang family were locked in a fierce battle, reaching a point of no return.

Many other forces had been drawn in, making the scope of this battle far exceed normal limits.

Under these circumstances, many immortal realm forces had sensed the crisis.

Only the presence of the Seven Profound Dao Sect in Taiyuan Prefecture provided some reassurance to other forces.

After the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s army set out, many forces were naturally worried that if anything happened to them, the peace of Taiyuan Prefecture would be shattered.

Only now,

witnessing the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s army return, did these forces truly breathe a sigh of relief.

Over the years, in the eyes of other forces, the Seven Profound Dao Sect was practically the sky above Taiyuan Prefecture.

As long as the Seven Profound Dao Sect existed, Taiyuan Prefecture wouldn’t face major problems.

But if the Seven Profound Dao Sect fell, it would truly be a catastrophe.

Although after the Seven Profound Dao Sect became the Mandate of Heaven for Taiyuan Prefecture, all forces bowed down and paid tribute with numerous cultivation resources,

compared to the survival of their own forces, such tributes were insignificant.

Everything

was for the sake of stability and longevity.
