Terran Guardian - Chapter 4179

Chapter 4154: Ancient Illusion

The Sage’s Dojo opened.

All cultivators from various factions who had secured a spot entered immediately.

Gu Bai’s divine sense stirred, and a mysterious power emerged from the token in his hand. The next instant, he sensed a change in the scenery, and when he reacted, he found himself within an ancient celestial palace.

The palace was vast, with what appeared to be a flowing river of stars above, evolving into countless worlds. Towering pillars supported the entire palace, adorned with lifelike carvings of dragons and phoenixes.

In the center of the palace were numerous futons, seemingly woven from hemp rope.

Gu Bai glanced at them; there were thirty futons in total.

The

first row had six futons, and

the second row also had six, for a total of

five rows

and thirty futons.

In front of the first row of futons stood a lotus platform of the Great Dao, radiating auspicious energy and exuding a majestic aura that inspired awe.

“It seems this Great Dao Lotus Platform is where the sages once preached!”

Gu Bai glanced deeply at the Great Dao Lotus Platform, then walked towards the first row of prayer mats and directly occupied a seat.

On the other side,

Gu Daoxuan did the same.

The other cultivators’ expressions changed slightly upon seeing this, a fleeting hint of displeasure flashing in their eyes, but none showed it.

Everyone now knew that Gu Bai and Gu Daoxuan both came from the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Although the cultivators present came from different immortality forces, they still dared not offend such a behemoth as the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Moreover,

there were six prayer mats in the first row.

Even if the Seven Profound Dao Sect occupied two, there were still four.

Just then,

Qin Yang also sat down on a prayer mat in the first row, right next to Gu Bai.

However,

at that very moment, a cultivator stepped forward, unleashing a palm strike directly at Qin Yang.

The power of this strike was astonishing, but the entire Daoist temple contained the Great Dao of Saints, so a strike that would suppress ten thousand miles of void outside only affected a small area here.

However, despite the limited range, the power was not diminished in the slightest.

Qin Yang’s expression was indifferent; he flicked his sleeve and extended his right hand, striking out with a palm strike of his own.

“Boom!”

The two palms collided, and an incomparably domineering power swept in all directions.

The Immortal Emperor who had struck trembled, his steps involuntarily retreating.

“Qin Yang!”

The opponent’s face was filled with horror, his eyes wide with shock as he looked at Qin Yang.

The other cultivators’ expressions also changed slightly when they saw this scene.

They knew that the Qin family had produced an extraordinary Immortal Emperor in this generation, not only possessing top-tier talent but also having obtained the opportunity to enter the Tongtian Pavilion.

But even so, Qin Yang’s strength still made them feel alarmed.

It should be noted that

the Immortal Emperor who had struck this time was a top expert of the Yang family; although his strength could not compare to those on the Immortal Emperor Stele, it was definitely not to be underestimated.

Among the thirty Immortal Emperors present, the opponent’s strength, if not ranking in the top three, was definitely among the top five.

Yet, even so,

his full-force palm strike couldn’t shake Qin Yang in the slightest.

At this moment,

they gained a new understanding of this Qin family Immortal Emperor for the first time.

“This futon belongs to me. Anyone who disagrees may make a move, and I will accept it all!”

Qin Yang’s expression remained unchanged as he glanced at the Immortal Emperor, then looked at the other Immortal Emperors and spoke calmly.

In the past, he kept a low profile because there was nothing worth his time.

After all, with his status in the Tongtian Pavilion, Qin Yang didn’t need to do many things personally.

But—

not having to do things himself didn’t mean he was weak.

On the contrary,

being in charge of a branch of the Tongtian Pavilion meant his strength was definitely not lacking.

When facing Shen Changqing, Qin Yang was obsequious because the other party was a top expert who could kill him with a flick of his finger. Qin Yang was only

polite to Gu Bai and Gu Daoxuan because they came from the Seven Profound Dao Sect and were only being polite because of Shen Changqing.

To say that any random Immortal Emperor could be so arrogant in front of him was simply naive. “Fellow Daoist Qin Yang’s strength is profound; I admire him. With such strength, I naturally acknowledge your right to a first-row seat!” Soon, a cultivator readily yielded, showing no intention of competing with Qin Yang, and found a seat himself . Seeing this, the other cultivators also refrained from challenging Qin Yang. They had all witnessed his strength. Fighting such a powerful figure, even if they were even a match, would likely result in mutual destruction. Then, others would reap the benefits. Therefore, after witnessing Qin Yang’s strength, no one dared to compete with him. However, other Qin family cultivators who wanted to vie for a higher ranking faced considerable suppression. However… With Qin Yang present, and Gu Bai and the others not standing idly by, the other members of the Qin family didn’t receive too bad a seating arrangement. Three members of the Qin family entered the Saint’s Dao Arena this time; besides Qin Yang, the other two were seated in the second row. As the fighting subsided and all the seating arrangements were completed, a phantom gradually appeared on the Great Dao Lotus Platform, as if it had traversed the river of time from ancient times, its powerful and terrifying pressure sweeping across the vast Immortal Palace Dao Arena. “A Saint’s Phantom!” All the cultivators, upon seeing this, became solemn, their hearts filled with awe. The Saint had fallen many years ago. The phantom here was merely a remnant of the Great Dao left behind by the former Saint. But even so, they dared not be disrespectful. For a powerhouse of this level, even a remnant of the Great Dao could easily kill them. “The Great Dao is nameless…”

At this moment, the illusory figure of the sage slowly spoke, his voice seemingly piercing through countless ages. As it reached the ears of everyone, the scene before them instantly transformed, as if they had returned to ancient times.

At this moment,

they transformed into ancient cultivators, listening to the supreme Dao beneath the sage’s seat.

All cultivators concentrated intently, completely abandoning all distractions, focusing all their attention on listening and comprehending.

Under this sage’s profound teachings, some cultivators scratched their heads, their faces filled with anxiety, as if they had grasped something but couldn’t quite grasp its mysteries.

Others fell into deep thought, seemingly pondering something.

In the first row

, Gu Bai listened to this Dao. The sage’s words contained the celestial sounds of the Dao, each word causing his blood and qi to surge and boil.

His blood and qi were vast and powerful, his terrifying blood energy even breaking through the constraints of his physical body, manifesting a demonic god phantom in the void of the immortal palace. Its domineering and violent aura swept across all directions, causing many cultivators to be horrified when they noticed this commotion.

“Such powerful blood energy!”

Qin Yang, who was originally comprehending the Great Dao, turned to look at Gu Bai when he sensed this commotion, his expression one of shock.

Even with his current cultivation level, he felt a faint, almost imperceptible, sense of threat emanating from this overwhelming blood energy. How could

this not startle Qin Yang? Although he already knew that Gu Bai, as Shen Changqing’s personal disciple, was definitely more than just a mid-stage Immortal Emperor, Qin Yang still believed that Gu Bai’s strength was limited. After all, cultivation levels were different, and such a gap in cultivation was not easily bridged. Qin Yang considered himself to be one of the few who could truly threaten him, except for those listed on the Immortal Emperor Stele. But now— he felt a threat from Gu Bai, which naturally made Qin Yang somewhat alarmed.
