Terran Guardian - Chapter 4185

Chapter 4160: Jiang Daoxuan’s Plans – To Destroy the Taiyi Immortal Sect!

Currently,

the Heavenly Dao rules are suppressing power

, making it difficult for cultivators at the Half-Saint level and above to unleash their full strength. This is undoubtedly good news for the Jiang family.

Although the Jiang family will still be affected, the situation is much better than the overwhelming force of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

In this situation,

the Jiang family has a chance to catch their breath.

“The great battle has just ended, and the world has undergone tremendous changes. The various forces haven’t reacted quickly enough.

Those below the level of True Immortal should use most of the clan’s resources to ensure that our Jiang family produces a batch of Immortal Emperors as quickly as possible to stabilize the situation.”

Jiang Daoxuan’s words made Jiang Beice and the others nod.

In the past, no matter how many Immortal Emperors they had, it was insignificant to them.

Any Immortal Emperor could easily suppress many Immortal Emperors.

But now it’s different.

The world has undergone tremendous changes.

Immortals are no longer visible.

No matter how powerful your cultivation is, if you dare to use the cultivation of a Half-Saint or above, you will inevitably face divine punishment and have no chance of survival. The Jiang family members are well aware

of this . Not long ago, a half-saint from the Jiang family attempted to test the limits of heaven and earth, thus activating his half-saint cultivation. But the next instant, heavenly punishment descended. The opponent had no chance to react and was utterly annihilated by the heavenly punishment, leaving not a trace. This was the power of heavenly punishment. At such times, they naturally dared not provoke the heavens. Otherwise, no matter how powerful one’s cultivation, facing heavenly punishment, survival would be impossible. … After arranging matters for the Jiang family, Jiang Daoxuan did not delay and immediately set off for Taiyuan Prefecture. Unable to use his Dao Venerable methods to traverse the various immortal realms, it took Jiang Daoxuan a full half-month to finally enter Taiyuan Prefecture. Regarding this, the Jiang family patriarch smiled bitterly. “The suppression of the heavens is truly domineering. I haven’t felt this kind of weakness for countless years!” He had forgotten how long it had been since he had experienced such a feeling. In fact, Jiang Daoxuan had even forgotten how long he had lived. The Immortal Emperor realm was something incredibly distant for him. Now, with the dramatic changes in the world and the suppression of the Heavenly Dao rules, Jiang Daoxuan once again experienced the weakness of the Immortal Emperor realm. But there was nothing he could do. Even as a Dao Venerable, he had to bow his head now. Otherwise, when heavenly punishment descended, Jiang Daoxuan wouldn’t have naively believed he could withstand it. Not long after, Shen Changqing received the news and immediately invited Jiang Daoxuan in. “Fellow Daoist Shen!” “Fellow Daoist Jiang!” Shen Changqing nodded slightly, looking at Jiang Daoxuan before him. He could sense that the other’s cultivation had fallen to the Immortal Emperor level. This was the suppression of the Heavenly Dao rules. Of course, this suppression wasn’t unbreakable. If Jiang Daoxuan wished, he could break the suppression at any time. But the consequence would naturally be heavenly punishment. Upon seeing Shen Changqing, Jiang Daoxuan’s first question was, “Has the Ancestor truly perished?” As he spoke, he stared intently into Shen Changqing’s eyes, wanting a definite answer from him. Although Jiuye was reduced to ashes under the Heavenly Punishment, Jiang Daoxuan wasn’t certain whether he had truly perished. Shen Changqing shook his head slightly: “Not dead!” These two simple words allowed Jiang Daoxuan to release all the pent-up frustration in his chest. Not dead! That was enough! Shen Changqing said, “However, although Senior Jiuye is not dead, only a wisp of his soul remains. When he will truly revive, I don’t know.” “Regardless, as long as the Ancestor’s remnant soul is not destroyed, there is still a glimmer of hope. Now, all cultivators in the world believe that the Ancestor perished under the Heavenly Punishment; surely no one would expect that the Ancestor could still survive!” Jiang Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, his expression no longer as tense as before. Shen Changqing asked, “Speaking of which, regarding this cataclysmic change in the world and the suppression of the Heavenly Dao rules, what are your thoughts, Fellow Daoist Jiang?” ” Cataacoustic change in the world—” Jiang Daoxuan’s fingers tapped lightly, and he spoke after a long pause. “The Heavenly Dao exists to maintain the chaos of a region. If the chaos is destroyed, then the Heavenly Dao will also cease to exist. In the previous battle, an unparalleled being intervened, directly confronting the power of Heavenly Punishment. The clash between the two injured the chaos, which is the fundamental reason for the suppression by the Heavenly Dao’s rules. In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, too much power would affect the stability of the chaos, hence the suppression through rules. How long these rules will exist is unknown. Perhaps a great eon, perhaps longer, or perhaps not even a great eon, and everything will return to normal!” Jiang Daoxuan’s words were similar to Shen Changqing’s original conjecture. The existence of the Heavenly Dao is to maintain the stability of the chaos. Since that battle, he had already sensed all the subtle changes in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. “However—” “The current upheaval in the world is not necessarily a bad thing for Fellow Daoist Shen!” Jiang Daoxuan looked at the person before him, his eyes burning with fervor. This was a genius who had once ascended to the top of the Immortal Emperor Stele, and in the battle at the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, he had swept aside all the top Immortal Emperors of the two great chaos realms. If we were to ask who is the strongest amidst the current upheavals in the world, then this person before us would likely be the so-called number one powerhouse. Indeed! Number one! In terms of sheer power at the Immortal Emperor level, he can certainly be considered number one. Shen Changqing naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Daoxuan’s words. “What guidance does Fellow Daoist Jiang have?”

“If Heaven grants a gift and you do not seize it, you will suffer the consequences!”

Jiang Daoxuan slowly uttered these words, a chilling killing intent appearing on his face.

“Now, the Seven Profound Dao Sect and my Jiang family are bound together by fate, and the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s intention to destroy us is blatantly obvious.

However, in the past, the Taiyi Immortal Sect had a strong foundation, making it difficult for us to destroy them.

But now it’s different. The world has undergone dramatic changes, and the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s strength has been greatly diminished. This is our golden opportunity!”

“Destroy the Taiyi Immortal Sect!”

“Sever its lineage!”

“At that time, all the resources of the Taiyi Immortal Sect can be divided equally between my Jiang family and the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

With such a foundation, Sect Master Shen can greatly develop the sect’s strength. Even if one day the dramatic changes in the world disappear, the end of the Dharma declines, and the sect returns to its former glory, the Seven Profound Dao Sect will have enough confidence to deal with everything!”

This was another purpose of Jiang Daoxuan’s visit.

To unite with the Seven Profound Dao Sect to destroy the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

In the past, the Seven Profound Dao Sect naturally had no chance against the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Let alone one Seven Profound Dao Sect, even a hundred or ten thousand Seven Profound Dao Sects would be ants to be wiped out by the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

But now it’s different.

The world has changed drastically.

The status of the Seven Profound Dao Sects is completely different.

With Shen Changqing, the strongest among the Immortal Emperors, taking action to suppress the Taiyi Immortal Sect is not impossible.

Shen Changqing did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the table.

After a long while,

he exhaled, his eyes becoming resolute.

“When do you plan to make your move, fellow Daoist?”

“One month from now, we will attack the Taiyi Immortal Sect!”

Seeing that Shen Changqing had made his decision, Jiang Daoxuan did not hesitate and spoke directly.

One month!

Time can be said to be extremely tight.

But in Jiang Daoxuan’s view, this timing is the best.

After all, the drastic change in the world has just occurred, and the battle in the Donghua Immortal Domain has only barely subsided. The Jiang family has not yet recovered.

But similarly,

if the Jiang family has not recovered, the Taiyi Immortal Sect will certainly be in the same situation.

With the Seven Profound Dao Sect as a powerful weapon, Jiang Daoxuan naturally didn’t want to delay.

For a force like the Taiyi Immortal Sect, every moment of delay meant another moment of respite, potentially leading to unforeseen complications.

The best course of action was to crush the Taiyi Immortal Sect before they could even react.

“Alright, one month from now, we’ll attack the Taiyi Immortal Sect. My Seven Profound Dao Sect will be waiting for good news in the Eastern Hua Immortal Domain!”

Shen Changqing agreed immediately.

War!

Why not?

While the battle in the Eastern Hua Immortal Domain had a wide-ranging impact, it wouldn’t significantly affect the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Moreover,

after the battles in the Taiwei Realm and the Emperor’s Fall Star, the Seven Profound Dao Sect hadn’t suffered significant losses; in fact, their strength had increased considerably.

Shen Changqing had sufficient confidence to attack the Taiyi Immortal Sect now.

After all,

this attack wasn’t just from the Seven Profound Dao Sect, but also from the Jiang family.

If Shen Changqing could destroy the Taiyi Immortal Sect and obtain half of its resources, it would be more than enough.

After all, a supreme power with a history spanning billions of years possesses terrifying resources. Even half, let alone 10%, or even 0.1%, would be an unimaginable astronomical figure for other powers.

Obtaining half would be an immense fortune.

Of course,

an equal split

is also reasonable in Shen Changqing’s view.

With the world undergoing dramatic changes, his status as the former First Immortal Emperor is far greater than before. He is confident he can contend with anyone of the same realm.

As for the Jiang family, their foundation as a supreme power is also formidable; the number of Immortal Emperors alone far surpasses that of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

One side provides top-tier combat power, the other provides a sufficient number of Immortal Emperors; an equal split between the two forces is not unreasonable.

Whether

the Jiang family should enlist the help of other powers is none of the Seven Profound Dao Sect’s concern.

Seeing that Shen Changqing had agreed, Jiang Daoxuan didn’t linger. After a brief conversation,

he got up and left. It would take him quite some time to return to the Jiang family, so he dared not delay.

After all, mobilizing troops would take time.

After Jiang Daoxuan left, Shen Changqing refocused his attention on himself.

In this period,

he had almost figured out the extent of the suppression by the Heavenly Dao rules.

First,

regarding cultivation, he had fallen back to the Immortal Emperor level.

However, this didn’t affect his lifespan.

Then,

regarding his physical body

, his blood and qi were stagnant, and his physical strength was suppressed, falling back to the Immortal Emperor level.

Previously, Shen Changqing cultivated the Great Sun Glazed Body, breaking through to the Fourth Tribulation Half-Saint level, his strength comparable to 730,000 Chaos Divine Elephants.

But now it was different.

His strength was greatly weakened, at most equivalent to the strength of 5,000 Chaos Divine Elephants.

What does 5,000 Chaos Divine Elephants mean?

Previously, when Shen Changqing cultivated the Primordial Star Domain Scripture and reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, his physical strength was only equivalent to a little over 2,600 Chaos Divine Elephants.

Now ,

Shen Changqing’s physical strength is comparable to 5,000 Chaos Divine Elephants.

Compared to the physical strength of an ordinary peak Immortal Emperor, it is almost twice as powerful.

The reason he is so strong

is because of cultivating the Great Sun Glazed Body of the Zhou Tian.

As a top-tier Dao Venerable inheritance, the Great Sun Glazed Body of the Zhou Tian offers physical strength at each level that is unmatched by cultivators of the same realm.

It can be said

that the more top-tier the cultivation technique, the stronger its foundation.

“Even with the current upheaval in the world, those supreme forces still hold an unparalleled position. Ordinary forces would find it extremely difficult to seize this opportunity and overthrow them in one fell swoop!”

Shen Changqing mused.

Ultimately, this was a difference in foundation.

Both were Immortal Emperors.

The geniuses of the supreme forces cultivated top-tier inheritances, their strength far surpassing their peers. How could they possibly be a match?

Unless they relied on the lives of other Immortal Emperors to forcefully crush them,

the cost of such an act was obvious.

Currently,

while the Zhou Tian Great Sun Glazed Body wasn’t the most top-tier cultivation technique in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, there were probably only a handful of beings truly comparable to it.

Most importantly, such a top-tier technique was extremely difficult to cultivate.

Therefore, even if some veteran powerhouses in the same realm made a move, Shen Changqing didn’t believe they could threaten him.

Of course, there was another reason

for Shen Changqing’s confidence. That was— his physical strength was suppressed, but the cultivation of the physical body by cultivators was about harnessing power within oneself. The rules of Heaven can suppress the power of blood and qi, but they cannot erase the cultivation of the physical body. For example, Shen Changqing’s physical strength is now comparable to a fifth-grade innate imperial weapon. Even if his strength falls to the Immortal Emperor level, with such a physical body, he would still be invincible. This— is his greatest advantage. In the world, anyone who can reach the stage of physical sainthood possesses a physical defense comparable to an innate imperial weapon, making it difficult for other Immortal Emperors to threaten them. And Shen Changqing’s physical body being comparable to a fifth-grade innate imperial weapon is even more so. “Even if it’s the Taiyi Immortal Sect or other forces, some ancient beings who have lived for billions of years have honed their physical bodies to an astonishing degree. Under such circumstances, they still cannot do anything to me.” This is why Shen Changqing has enough confidence to act. However, while his opponent cannot do anything to him, it is equally difficult for him to do anything to them. After all, neither side can break through the other’s defenses, and killing them is destined to be difficult. But— there is one exception. That is the ultimate divine weapon. The suppression of the Heavenly Dao rules weakened the power of innate imperial weapons, rendering them indistinguishable from ordinary immortal artifacts. Only supreme treasures like ultimate divine weapons remained unaffected. Shen Changqing wasn’t without such treasures. While he could possess them, other forces could too, but the more powerful the ultimate divine weapon, the more difficult it was to wield. With all cultivators’ cultivation levels plummeting to the Immortal Emperor realm, even supreme forces wielding ultimate divine weapons more powerful than the Nine-Star Mace would likely find it difficult to use. Regardless, Shen Changqing was confident in his abilities.
