Chapter 3849 Taihua Holy Land
The ancient barrier remains unbroken!
Shen Changqing was not worried about the Zhenyuan Pass.
Not everyone can cultivate the Great Dao Immortal Eye like him, enabling them to see through the essence of the Great Dao's rules and dispel all illusions.
Of course.
The upper realm is teeming with powerful beings, and there are countless supernatural abilities and secret techniques. Perhaps there really is someone who can cultivate such supernatural abilities and secret techniques.
Even so, Shen Changqing was confident enough to handle the situation.
The fact that those forces dared not make a move because they were wary of the former Immortal Qin Dynasty shows that their strength was only so-so at best.
They themselves are not afraid of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, let alone these forces.
The Xuandu Immortal Realm is currently in turmoil. If the Seven Profound Dao Sect can control Zhenyuan Pass, it will be in an invincible position.
They could then take control of the northern frontier.
They could retreat to defend Zhenyuan Pass.
Even beyond Zhenyuan Pass, the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect can extend its reach to other territories.
With this situation, Shen Changqing felt much more at ease.
……
The time that follows.
Shen Changqing lived a secluded life within Zhenyuan Pass, spending most of his time studying the Twelve Heavens and the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Diagram.
The more he comprehended these two things, the deeper his understanding of the great principles of heaven and earth became.
The only pity is...
Shen Changqing's cultivation level has now reached its limit.
The improvement in strength has also reached the limit of this level.
Unless one can break through to the semi-saint realm, it will be difficult to make any progress.
But as I said before, all the current accumulation is laying the groundwork for breaking through to the Half-Saint realm in the future.
Moreover, after several battles, Shen Changqing had accumulated a considerable amount of Heavenly Dao fortune, and with his control of Zhenyuan Pass, a continuous stream of Heavenly Dao fortune was also gathering around him.
Under such circumstances, Shen Changqing remained calm and composed.
Simultaneously.
News was also pouring in from the Immortal Qin Dynasty.
Just as Wenren Chen said, the Immortal Qin Dynasty has suffered a great loss of strength, and many forces are eyeing it covetously, all wanting a share of the pie.
In particular, other forces that have grudges against the Immortal Qin Dynasty are now taking advantage of its misfortune.
Some of these forces came from other immortal realms, while others were native forces of the Xuandu Immortal Realm.
In the past, when the Immortal Qin Dynasty was at its peak, these forces dared not act rashly. But now, of the three Tribulation Half-Saints who were the only remaining members of the Immortal Qin Dynasty in the ancient Immortal Realm, one is dead and one is injured, leaving only Su Yufeng to maintain the status quo.
not only that.
Several other semi-saint level experts also suffered losses.
The strength of the once mighty Immortal Qin Dynasty has declined drastically.
As a result, other forces will certainly not miss such a good opportunity.
When these messages arrived, Shen Changqing ordered the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect to send troops to gradually erode the northern border.
In the battle outside Zhenyuan Pass, the Northern Frontier Army suffered heavy losses, with countless soldiers falling, and many others surrendering directly to the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect.
With this shift in power, the gap between the two sides becomes obvious.
When the army of the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect marched out of Zhenyuan Pass and advanced deep into the northern frontier, it was unstoppable. The cities either surrendered without resistance or offered any real resistance.
The reason they were able to succeed so smoothly was not only because the Seven Profound Dao Sect's reputation had already shaken the Northern Frontier, but also because they had two half-saints, Duan Changsheng and Xuehe, in charge.
For cultivators in the Northern Frontier, such a powerful figure is naturally considered a dimensional reduction attack.
now.
The Immortal Qin Dynasty was in chaos, with top experts all guarding the imperial court and having no spare power to intervene in the affairs of the northern frontier.
Therefore, in the past few months, the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect has captured 136 cities in the northern border.
Many immortal cities have fallen under their control, and with Zhenyuan Pass as the core, they are gradually expanding towards the northern frontier, emphasizing a steady and pragmatic approach.
……
at the same time.
War also broke out in other parts of the Xuandu Immortal Realm.
Ten years have passed since the Battle of Heaven began.
In the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, ten years is naturally not a long time.
However, the ancient battlefields are different.
This place is changing every moment.
Opportunities often arise, but so do forces, and countless cultivators perish.
The turmoil in the Immortal Qin Dynasty weakened the Xuandu Immortal Domain itself, and other external forces naturally swarmed in like hyenas smelling blood.
Even Zhenyuan Pass was attacked by sporadic forces.
But a pity.
Those forces that attempted to conquer Zhenyuan Pass were completely annihilated by the Seven Profound Dao Sect without them even needing to lift a finger; they were simply wiped out by those ancient restrictions.
Many forces unaware of Zhenyuan Pass's infamous reputation became wary of this fortress after learning of it.
this day.
A piece of news arrived, causing a stir throughout the Immortal Qin Dynasty.
Along with Zhenyuan Pass, Shen Changqing also made a rare appearance in seclusion, summoning the sect's experts to a meeting to discuss matters.
"Tell me about it, what are the specifics?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master, ten days ago, the Taihua Holy Land, the Yanxu Holy Land, and the Daluo Immortal Court joined forces to attack the Immortal Qin Dynasty. At the same time, the Immortal Qin Dynasty, led by Su Yufeng as the commander-in-chief and Qin Cang as the assistant, commanded a large army to resist."
That battle ended in a crushing defeat for the Immortal Qin Dynasty.
Su Yufeng died in battle, Qin Cang perished, and it is said that Qin Xiaoxuan, the second prince of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, was also killed.
The news has now spread, and the Immortal Qin Dynasty is crumbling, with chaos reigning throughout the land!
Yang Daoxu said in a deep voice, and the news he revealed caused the other cultivators to have different expressions.
Although the news had already spread, the Immortal Qin Dynasty was ultimately too vast, and it was inevitable that it would spread far and wide.
Even within the Seven Profound Dao Sect, not everyone knows this.
But everyone understands that if what Yang Daoxu said is true, then this matter is of utmost importance.
"Qin Cang has fallen—"
Shen Changqing's expression shifted slightly.
He never expected that Qin Cang, with his cautious nature, would perish so easily.
But upon further reflection, Shen Changqing quickly came to terms with it.
Qin Cang is the ancestor of the royal family of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, and one of the few Three Tribulation Half-Saints in the ancient Immortal Realm of the Immortal Qin Dynasty. He is bound to be the target of other forces.
If Qin Cang doesn't die, even destroying the Immortal Qin Dynasty will be useless.
A demigod who is free from all constraints is often the most dangerous being.
Therefore, most power struggles rarely involve a complete breakdown in relations, with both sides willing to sacrifice everything to annihilate the other, unless there is sufficient confidence to kill all the top experts of that power.
otherwise.
The subsequent retaliation from such powerful figures would be far beyond what their own forces could withstand.
It can be said.
From the moment the three major powers decided to take action against the Immortal Qin Dynasty, the outcome of this war was already predetermined.
Without sufficient confidence, how could the three major powers dare to destroy the Immortal Qin Dynasty?
Yang Daoxu said, "Now that the Immortal Qin Dynasty has been destroyed and many powerful figures have perished, all forces have poured into the Immortal Qin Dynasty to divide up many territories."
In the Northern Frontier during this period, other forces have greatly increased, and the immortal cities that were originally affiliated with sects have all been affected.
So far, the sect has lost three immortal cities and suffered the loss of tens of thousands of disciples!
Three immortal cities!
The loss of tens of thousands of disciples is not too great.
The main reason is that most of the army in the immortal cities under the jurisdiction of the Seven Profound Dao Sect consists of soldiers who were originally soldiers of the Immortal Qin Dynasty and were brought under their command.
Disciples of sects mostly hold important positions in the immortal city.
It's about right to have three or four thousand cultivators deployed to a celestial city.
Although it may not be many, the loss of a disciple is a real loss. Moreover, this incident indicates that other forces have already set their sights on the Seven Profound Dao Sect.
If this problem cannot be solved, it will only become more difficult to resolve later.
Shen Changqing asked expressionlessly, "Have you found out which force was behind this?"
"The group that took action was composed of many independent cultivators, but I have secretly received information that the Taihua Holy Land is supporting those independent cultivators."
This action is very likely a covert probe by the Taihua Holy Land.
Yang Daoxu said.
Shen Changqing nodded slightly on the armrest, and after a long while, he said, "I need all the information about the Taihua Holy Land. How many days do you need?"
"We should be able to gather all the information about the Taihua Holy Land within a month!"
The other peak masters exchanged glances, and finally Yang Daoxu gave the answer.
Shen Changqing nodded: "Alright, then it will be one month. I need all the information about the Taihua Holy Land. In addition, the sect's territory will be strengthened with defenses, and Elder Duan and Elder Xue will be in charge."
If any further incursions occur, suppress them with all our might without fail!
"We obey!"
Both Duan Changsheng and Xuehe respectfully accepted the order.
Shen Changqing said nothing more, and his figure disappeared immediately.
……
While the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect was gathering intelligence from all sides, the disintegration of the Immortal Qin Dynasty continued to intensify, with various forces constantly attacking each other in an attempt to divide up this ancient dynasty.
After all, the Immortal Qin Dynasty had a vast territory and numerous immortal cities.
Each immortal city is enough to grant an ancient immortal a great deal of divine favor in order to seek future opportunities.
Although the cultivators of the Ancient Immortal Realm are not worth mentioning to those top forces.
However, if some of the most talented individuals within their own faction can obtain a heavenly opportunity as a result, then it will naturally be beneficial and harmless.
These prodigies are already exceptionally talented. If they can obtain a Heavenly Dao opportunity, it will be the icing on the cake. In the future, it is not impossible for them to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm or even reach the level of Half-Saint.
To know.
The vast majority of semi-saints do not break through by force through their own aptitude.
These breakthroughs to semi-saint status were achieved step by step through numerous opportunities and chances, ultimately leading them to the level of semi-saint.
but--
The number of immortal cities is limited.
The immortal cities in the ancient immortal realm are compared to the nine heavens immortal realm. When one enters the ancient immortal realm, the immortal city already exists. If it does not exist, it will be difficult for later generations to build an immortal city in the ancient immortal realm.
Precisely.
Even if one could establish a celestial city, it would be impossible to gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao. In that case, it would be difficult to possess the Dao Stele and receive the blessings of the Heavenly Dao.
If it weren't for these restrictions, the ancient immortal realm would have been a city every three steps. Most cultivators wouldn't have needed to fight each other; they could have simply found a secluded place to build their immortal city and quietly planned for the creation of the heavens.
However, the purpose of Heaven's Dao in opening the Heavenly Dao Battlefield and establishing the Ancient Immortal Realm was to make cultivators from all sides fight each other.
That kind of situation is naturally not what Heaven wants to see.
During this period, the territory of the Seven Profound Dao Sect was also severely impacted, and many forces secretly took action to test its strength.
After all, the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect's control of Zhenyuan Pass is tantamount to a nail driven into the territory of the Immortal Qin Dynasty. If other forces want to encroach on the northern frontier, then the former is destined to be an unavoidable obstacle.
But it's impossible to get them to give up the northern frontier.
The Immortal Qin Dynasty has a vast territory, with the Northern Frontier accounting for roughly one-third of its land area. If the Northern Frontier were abandoned, the losses to other forces would be considerable.
therefore.
For these forces, destroying the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect would be the best outcome.
However, the strength of this force is unknown, and no one dares to make a move rashly. They can only use a portion of their forces to secretly probe the enemy.
Fortunately.
Shen Changqing was prepared.
With Blood River and Broken Longevity as their two half-saints, they are more than capable of guarding the sect's territory.
Although both were only at the first tribulation half-saint level, the bloodline and foundation of the Eternal Life Demon God made it difficult for even a second tribulation half-saint to gain an advantage in person.
In the current Xuandu Immortal Realm, Second Tribulation Half-Saints are extremely rare, and there are not many powerful individuals who can truly reach this level.
otherwise.
Back then, when the Immortal Qin Dynasty had three Venerables and Three Tribulations Half-Saints in charge, other forces wouldn't have hesitated to challenge them.
Of course.
The strongest beings in the vast Xuandu Immortal Realm could not possibly be only at the Third Tribulation level, but even those at that level would not care about a mere Northern Frontier.
For them, entering the ancient immortal realm was about finding other opportunities to prepare for the subsequent trials of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, and even the Heavenly Tribulation.
As the situation in the Northern Frontier became increasingly dire, Shen Changqing was stationed at Zhenyuan Pass. News kept pouring in from all sides of the sect, giving him a deep understanding of the current situation in the Northern Frontier and even the entire Xuandu Immortal Domain.
A month is neither a short nor a long time.
This day.
Yang Daoxu came to pay his respects again.
At the same time, the other party also brought relevant intelligence with them.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
"How did things go?"
"All information regarding the Taihua Holy Land is here. Please review it, Sect Master!"
Yang Daoxu understood what the other party was asking. As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and respectfully handed it to Shen Changqing.
The latter swept his divine sense across the jade slip, and all the information in it appeared in his mind.
"The strength of the Taihua Holy Land is no weaker than that of the Immortal Qin Dynasty at its peak, but this time, not many of the powerful figures from this force have entered the Ancient Immortal Realm."
Originally, there was a half-saint at the Taihua Holy Land, but he was severely injured in the struggle for a certain opportunity.
When they were besieging the Immortal Qin Dynasty, that Fourth Tribulation Half-Saint also made a move, and Su Yufeng died at his hands.
But news has come that Su Yufeng's dying counterattack seemed to have worsened the other's injuries; however, the veracity of this news remains uncertain.
While Shen Changqing was processing the information on the jade slip, Yang Daoxu spoke up at the opportune moment.
"A fourth-stage half-saint!"
Shen Changqing's eyes flickered slightly.
A powerhouse of this caliber should not be underestimated. If that person hadn't been injured, the Taihua Holy Land alone would probably have been enough to deal with the Immortal Qin Dynasty.
Even so, the injured Fourth Tribulation Half-Saint was still able to kill Su Yufeng.
Although Shen Changqing did not have the details of that battle, he could still know that this fourth-tribulation half-saint must have been the main force in that battle.
after all.
Half-Saint Nine Tribulations.
The difference between each tribulation is astonishing.
but.
Facing a powerhouse of this caliber, Shen Changqing was not afraid. Not to mention that the opponent's strength had been damaged and he was no longer as powerful as he was in his prime, even if he had not suffered any injuries, he was confident that he could fight him.
Shen Changqing was somewhat confident about this.
