Chapter 3751 A Half-Saint Arrives

but.

What you think about comes true.

Just as Shen Changqing was about to continue his cultivation, a chilling aura was faintly visible outside the immortal mansion.

His gaze pierced through the restrictions of the immortal abode, and he immediately saw the scene outside.

"Xuan Tu!"

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Shen Changqing's heart skipped a beat.

This was his first time seeing this person, but he already knew what Xuan Tu looked like.

next interest.

The restrictions on the Immortal Abode have been activated.

Xuan Tu also walked in.

The other party did not speak, but sat down in front of Shen Changqing. When his eyes fell on Shen Changqing, the latter felt as if an invincible divine mountain was pressing down on him, and endless killing intent was overwhelming him.

That murderous and warlike intent soared to the heavens, enough to devour one's mind.

Such immense pressure weighed on Shen Changqing's body, but he never showed any fear on his face.

The movement of raising the teacup paused, as if it were being restricted in some way.

Neither side spoke, and as time passed, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

a long time.

Xuan Tu slowly spoke: "Shen Changqing, the Sword Master of Xuantian, your name is well-known to me. Meeting you today, I can confirm that you are indeed extraordinary!"

Throughout the entire world, among all the Immortal Emperors, only Shen Changqing could remain so calm and composed in his presence.

Let alone the Celestial Emperor.

Even many semi-saints lack the courage to face themselves.

Based on this alone, Xuan Tu already held Shen Changqing in high regard.

"I have long heard of the name of Xuan Tu, the commander of the Tianxuan Army. I wonder what purpose you have come to visit me today!"

As the pressure dissipated, Shen Changqing took a small sip of the immortal tea, placed the teacup back on the table, and calmly asked the other party.

Xuan Tu said, "The Eternal Immortal Court has existed since the ancient times. Later, it became one of the nine dynasties of the Divine Sun Domain. Countless cultivators have been killed on the Execution Platform, from saints and great saints to ancient immortals and immortal emperors."

Your act of condoning your disciples' killing of the Sixth Prince of my Immortal Court is a capital offense. If you are willing to surrender, I can promise to kill only you and Gu Qingyang, and the rest of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect disciples will live.

Otherwise, as long as I am alive, not a single person from your Xuantian Dao Sect will be able to leave alive!

Xuan Tu spoke in a calm tone, but the threat in his words was obvious.

Before Shen Changqing could answer, Xuan Tu changed the subject again.

"Of course, if you wish, you can stay in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City until your lifespan is exhausted and you die. I have already achieved longevity and have enough time to slowly wear you down."

"I just wonder how long you, Immortal Emperor, can hold out against me!"

Despite saying these words, Shen Changqing's expression remained calm.

"I appreciate your kindness, but until the very last moment, the outcome is still uncertain. Although the Eternal Immortal Court is one of the Nine Dynasties, the Nine Dynasties do not mean that it can be eternally destroyed."

The once-powerful Divine Phoenix Celestial Court was also destroyed by the great calamity of evil.

"I'm also very interested to see if the Eternal Celestial Court can truly be eternal!"

The moment Shen Changqing finished speaking, the void suddenly felt pressured, and a terrifying aura emanated from Xuan Tu. At this moment, even the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth seemed to generate a strong sense of repulsion.

In that instant.

Shen Changqing seemed to be hated by heaven and earth, and could be struck by lightning at any moment.

In this regard.

His mind was already secretly connected with the Soul-Destroying Sword. As long as Xuan Tu made any move, he would make sure that the other party understood what it meant that even his sword could not be disadvantageous.

However, this aura came quickly and dissipated just as quickly.

"It has been a long time since anyone has dared to speak like this. I will see if you have the qualifications to overthrow my Eternal Celestial Court."

The prerequisite is that you must be able to leave the Divine Sun Domain alive!

Xuan Tu ultimately did not make a move; the rules of the Immortal City were in place, and he could not act without authorization.

Although...

If it came to a fight, Xuan Tu was absolutely confident that he could suppress Shen Changqing in an instant.

but--

Remembering the Eternal Heavenly Emperor's instructions, he suppressed his murderous intent.

When it comes to the interests of the Celestial Court, there are some things that are not within one's control.

and so.

Xuan Tu is gone.

His purpose in coming here was simply to see if this Xuan Tian Sword Master had the potential to become a threat to the Eternal Immortal Court.

But now it seems that the other side is indeed not to be underestimated.

If such a person were to grow up, he might truly become a great threat to the Celestial Court.

It can be said.

At this moment, Xuan Tu's determination to kill Shen Changqing had become extremely firm.

But it is precisely at times like these that he needs to be more patient.

As mentioned earlier, his lifespan is endless, and he can exhaust even a Celestial Emperor to death.

After Xuan Tu left, Shen Changqing secretly exhaled a breath of turbid air. He had to admit that facing such a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint was indeed quite stressful.

Of all the Nine Tribulations Half-Saints he had encountered, he suspected that Xuan Tu might be the strongest.

now.

It's impossible not to feel some pressure having a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint staring at you.

Despite the pressure, Shen Changqing was not afraid.

……

Leave the celestial abode.

Xuan Tu then increased manpower to keep a close watch on Shen Changqing, ensuring that he would be informed immediately of any unusual movements by the other party.

but.

Shen Changqing always kept to himself and rarely went out, only occasionally visiting the Heavenly Immortal Mansion where the Taiyi Holy Land was located, which made Xuan Tu frown.

In his view, the other party's deep entanglement with the Taiyi Holy Land was not good news for the Eternal Immortal Court.

However, Taiyi Holy Land is one of the thirteen holy lands, and its foundation and strength are no less than those of the Eternal Immortal Court.

Even Xuan Tu shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the Taiyi Holy Land.

Moreover.

The person guarding the Heavenly Dao Immortal City in the Taiyi Sacred Land this time is Venerable Jinque.

The latter is also a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint, and his strength should not be underestimated.

In this delicate situation, time passed little by little.

As time passed, few cultivators in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City cared about the Xuan Tian Dao Sect anymore.

After all, there are many cultivators in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, and countless disputes and events occur every day. Who would care about a small sect?

At most, Gu Qingyang's name is prominently displayed at the ninth position on the Ancient Immortal Stele, occasionally attracting some attention and reminding people not to forget the name of the Xuantian Dao Sect.

Three thousand years later.

Ji Yang left the pass.

After the other party came out of the pass, he immediately came to pay his respects to Shen Changqing.

"Master!"

"You've come!"

Shen Changqing looked at the person in front of him. Ji Yang had been in seclusion for many years, and now that he had emerged, his cultivation had reached the Hunyuan Ruyi level. The 108 directions of Hunyuan Heaven and Earth were faintly signs of the birth of a universe.

It can be said.

At this moment, Ji Yang's cultivation level has truly reached the threshold of Immortal Emperor.

If the other party is willing, a single thought can trigger the Immortal Emperor Tribulation.

This is not just about honing one's cultivation foundation, but also about achieving absolute control over one's own power.

For ordinary cultivators, accumulating cultivation to this level is not something that can be done easily.

For most cultivators, the only options are either to reach the limit of the Ancient Immortal realm or to directly step into the Immortal Emperor realm.

For someone like Ji Yang to maintain a delicate balance between the Ancient Immortal and Immortal Emperor realms, the requirements for his control over his own power are extremely high.

If you are not careful, you may break through to a higher realm.

all the time.

Those cultivators who have reached the peak of the Ancient Immortal Realm and created one hundred and eight directions of the Primordial Chaos Realm can all be considered to be at the Half-Step Immortal Emperor Realm.

But in Shen Changqing's view, those so-called half-step Immortal Emperors were actually exaggerated.

If we really have to compare, only Ji Yang's current level can truly be called a half-step Immortal Emperor.

Standing on the threshold of the Immortal Emperor realm, one can directly break through to the Immortal Emperor realm with just one step.

This process.

There are no bottlenecks or obstacles.

Like other half-step Immortal Emperors, there is still a huge chasm between them and the Immortal Emperor realm. Most half-step Immortal Emperors will find it difficult to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm in their entire lives.

and so.

With Ji Yang as a comparison, Shen Changqing finally saw what a true half-step Immortal Emperor was like.

Of course.

Ji Yang was able to achieve this because of the other party's memories from his previous life. Without the help of such ancient memories, it would probably be impossible for him to truly reach this level.

Ji Yang said, "I have been in seclusion for many years. I wonder if any of my fellow disciples have entered the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele?"

"Xiao Ling of Jianfeng entered the Thirty-Sixth Immortal King Stele, Gu Qingyang entered the Ninth Ancient Immortal Stele, and the others have not yet made any progress. Among them, Ye Yun and Mu Chen are still in seclusion."

Of those currently qualified to challenge the Ancient Immortal Stele, you are the second to emerge from seclusion.

Shen Changqing briefly explained the current situation, and he did not hide anything about the Eternal Immortal Court.

Upon hearing this...

Ji Yang's brows furrowed as well.

"The matter of the Eternal Celestial Court is quite troublesome. What are your plans, Master?"

"I have already made up my mind about this matter. You don't need to worry too much about the Eternal Immortal Court. Just focus on going to the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele to compete for the opportunity."

If this trip can help you achieve a minor degree of immortality, then it will have been worthwhile!

Shen Changqing didn't say much on this topic, but placed high hopes on Ji Yang. In his opinion, there would be no problem for this disciple to be included in the Ancient Immortal Stele.

As for what happens after entering the Ancient Immortal Stele, to be honest, Shen Changqing doesn't care anymore.

As the saying goes.

Having many lice doesn't weigh you down.

Since we've already offended the Eternal Celestial Court, it doesn't matter if we offend a few more forces.

Shen Changqing would never stand idly by if anyone dared to step on his disciple to rise to power.

Seeing Shen Changqing's confident expression, Ji Yang felt a little relieved and didn't ask too many questions on this topic.

The next day.

Ji Yang and Shen Changqing went together to the location of the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.

When Shen Changqing appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators.

Although the matter of the Xuantian Dao Sect has little impact on the Heavenly Dao Immortal City now, they will naturally not forget Shen Changqing, the Immortal Emperor who achieved sainthood in the physical body.

The fact that a Celestial Emperor could contend with a Half-Saint in full view of everyone is remarkable enough in itself.

not to mention.

Shen Changqing's achievement of entering the realm of physical sainthood from the Immortal Emperor realm is an accomplishment that many half-saints have not been able to achieve, making him truly extraordinary.

Shen Changqing remained oblivious to the subtle glances cast his way, his heart unmoved. (End of Chapter)
