Terran Guardian - Chapter 4177

Chapter 4152 Seating Arrangements

“Heavenly Saint Immortal City!”

Gu Bai gazed at the magnificent city before him, its walls encircled by numerous array formations and restrictions. The sheer number of these restrictions pressed down on the sky, making it difficult for him to even see the end of the city walls.

The faint yet palpable aura emanating from these restrictions was chilling. The

sheer power of such a top-tier immortal city made his expression grave.

Not to mention

, just the sheer number of these restrictions alone could easily suppress an Immortal Emperor.

Gu Daoxuan said, “Heavenly Saint Immortal City is one of the top immortal cities in Fushan Prefecture, controlled by the three great immortal clans. Its foundation is naturally extraordinary.”

Gu Bai nodded in agreement, and the two then entered Heavenly Saint Immortal City together.

The Qin family received the news and soon saw Qin Yang appear to greet them.

“This humble Daoist Qin Yang greets both of you!”

Qin Yang greeted Gu Bai and Gu Daoxuan with great enthusiasm.

He had given two spots to the Seven Profound Dao Sect, and the fact that these two had landed on them was enough to demonstrate their high status within the sect.

However, with the connection to the Seven Profound Dao Sect, the situation was entirely different.

“This humble Daoist is Gu Daoxuan, greetings to Fellow Daoist Qin!” “This humble Daoist is Gu Bai, greetings

to Fellow Daoist Qin!” The two also bowed in greeting. Upon hearing Gu Bai’s words, Qin Yang’s expression became somewhat subtle. Earlier , Qin Yang had already thoroughly investigated information about Shen Changqing and the Seven Profound Dao Sect. He knew that Gu Bai was Shen Changqing’s personal disciple. This identity alone was enough for him to take seriously. “So it’s Fellow Daoist Gu and Fellow Daoist Gu. Now that the cultivators from other forces have arrived, please follow me!” Qin Yang laughed heartily and then invited the two inside. The Qin family was vast. The mansion was a hidden realm within a mansion. Rather than a mansion, it was more like a secret spatial realm, located within the Heavenly Saint Immortal City, yet separated from it. Following behind Qin Yang, the two could feel the powerful restrictions surrounding them. It could be said that every step within the Qin family was fraught with danger. If outsiders were to trespass here without guidance from the Qin family, they risked triggering the restrictions and perishing at any moment. When Qin Yang invited the two into the main hall, he found many cultivators already seated there. After their arrival, Qin Yang introduced them. “This is Qin Hong, the current head of my Qin family!” “These two are Fellow Daoist Gu Bai and Fellow Daoist Gu Xuan Gu from the Seven Profound Dao Sect. Fellow Daoist Gu Bai is even a direct disciple of the Xuan Tian Sword Master!” Qin Yang said with a smile. Upon hearing this, the expressions of the many cultivators in the hall changed. The Seven Profound Dao Sect! These four words were now renowned throughout the world. Every cultivator in the Star Luo Immortal Domain had heard of the Seven Profound Dao Sect. Many forces, including the Yaotai Holy Land, had been wiped out by the Seven Profound Dao Sect. Even the Taiyi Immortal Sect was rumored to have lost a Great Saint. It could be said that, on the surface, the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s strength was among the top in the entire Star Luo Immortal Domain. Such a level of power was beyond their reach. Not to mention, one of them was Shen Changqing’s personal disciple, the Xuan Tian Sword Master Shen Changqing! He was also a top expert in this Immortal Realm. Back then, when various forces joined forces to besiege the Seven Profound Dao Sect, the opponent almost single-handedly swept everything aside. How could such strength not be astonishing? In that instant , all the cultivators greeted him warmly. Gu Bai and his companion calmly returned the greeting. Then , Qin Hong personally arranged for the two to sit down, a position prominently placed before the other cultivators. No cultivator objected to this. This world has always respected the strong. While the forces present who had obtained Qin’s quota were not weak, compared to the Seven Profound Dao Sect, they were far inferior. After all, even among longevity forces, there were significant differences. The three great immortal clans of Tian Sheng Immortal City were quite famous and powerful in Fushan Prefecture. A family like the Qin’s, though only having one Half-Saint in charge, possesses combat power at the Seven Tribulations level, far surpassing ordinary Half-Saints. However, compared to the entire Star Luo Immortal Domain, they are significantly weaker. Forces at the level of the former Yaotai Holy Land not only secretly harbor Saints but also openly have Eight Tribulations Half-Saints, and more than one Half-Saint level expert. The difference is stark. After the two were seated, Qin Hong said in a deep voice, “In three days, the Saint’s Dojo will open. This time, the three immortal clans will have a total of thirty slots. My Qin family will relinquish some slots, and the other two will do the same. Although fighting is forbidden within the Saint’s Dojo, there is still a seating arrangement. The closer the seat, the stronger the Saint’s Dao will be. Therefore, in the past, any cultivator who entered the Saint’s Dojo would fight for a better seat.” Hearing Qin Hong’s words, most cultivators remained calm. It was obvious. They all already knew about this matter. Only Gu Bai and the other person’s expressions changed slightly, clearly this was the first time they had learned about what was happening inside the Sage’s Dojo. “Since you all have been granted places by my Qin family, I have only one request: that you lend a hand if any of my Qin family members are targeted by other forces. Of course, this is not a demand; if you fellow Daoists have the capacity, then helping out is enough. If it is truly impossible, I understand!” Qin Hong said.

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators exchanged glances and nodded.

“Patriarch Qin, rest assured, since we have accepted the Qin family’s favor, we will naturally not stand idly by!”

“Then this humble Daoist thanks you all in advance!”

Qin Hong’s face also showed a smile.

This was the reason the Qin family was giving up some spots.

Although the Qin family had a Seven Tribulation Half-Saint presiding over them, the strength of the remaining disciples wasn’t particularly strong. If they couldn’t secure a favorable position in the Saint’s Dao Arena, then even if they entered, they would find it difficult to obtain significant opportunities.

Conversely,

if they offered some spots in exchange for powerful figures from other forces to enter and receive their assistance, it would be much easier.

For example, the numerous cultivators present, except for Gu Bai and Gu Daoxuan, were all top-tier Immortal Emperors, which spoke volumes. Although

with the Qin family’s resources, providing ten top-tier Immortal Emperors wouldn’t be a problem, there were still differences among them. Most of the Qin family’s top-tier Immortal Emperors were only of average strength within their respective realms. The Immortal Emperors sent by various forces to fill the available spots are all top-tier individuals within their respective realms, making them a completely different story. Of course— except for the Seven Profound Dao Sect. Gu Daoxuan and Gu Bai are only mid-stage Immortal Emperors, their strength significantly inferior to other Immortal Emperors. However, considering their affiliation with the Seven Profound Dao Sect, this alone is enough to intimidate other forces. Furthermore, the Seven Profound Dao Sect boasts numerous prodigies. As far as Qin Hong knows, although the Xuan Tian Sword Master is only a newly promoted Half-Saint, he has killed more than one Seventh or Eighth Tribulation Half-Saint. Many cultivators within the sect can fight beyond their level. Under such circumstances, judging strength solely by cultivation level would be a gross underestimation. After all, Qin Hong is also aware that the Seven Profound Dao Sect has its share of top-tier Immortal Emperors. Yet, even so, this force has still sent two mid-stage Immortal Emperors, demonstrating their considerable strength. … For the next few days, Gu Bai and Gu Daoxuan remained at the Qin family residence, not venturing out even a step. As news of the imminent opening of the Sage’s Dojo spread, undercurrents surged in Tian Sheng Immortal City. Numerous forces came knocking, hoping to secure a spot, but Qin Hong flatly refused them all. This angered many, but they dared not act rashly. This was because the Qin family’s strength was considerable. Qin Meng was not dead. A living, peak Seventh Tribulation Half-Saint was not to be underestimated. In this Dharma-ending Age, Half-Saints were rare; those capable of action were few, and those who could reach the Seventh Tribulation realm were even rarer. While the opportunities at the Sage’s Dojo were precious, they were only relative to Immortal Emperors. To directly break ties with the Qin family for a mere opportunity was certainly not their wish.
