Chapter 3754 Desperate Measures
"Four people from one sect ascended the Ancient Immortal Stele. Your Xuantian Dao Sect has truly broadened my horizons!"
Inside the Celestial Mansion, Venerable Jinque looked at the person in front of him with a complex expression.
One Gu Qingyang!
One Ji Yang!
This already shocked him.
did not expect.
The Xuantian Dao Sect can produce two more geniuses who can ascend to the Ancient Immortal Stele.
Although the latter two were ranked lower than the former two, they were still by no means low.
Sixty-six!
Nineteen!
Such a ranking should not be underestimated.
Even though the Taiyi Holy Land is vast and powerful, with an endless lineage, there is not a single genius in this era who can ascend the Ancient Immortal Stele.
With four prodigies from the Xuantian Dao Sect now stepping onto the Ancient Immortal Stele, how could Venerable Jinque not be alarmed?
Even though he had lived for countless years, he had never seen any other force produce so many outstanding talents.
These kinds of sects.
There is only one explanation.
That is where destiny takes hold.
The so-called "destiny's favor" has another interpretation: it is the will of Heaven.
The problem is that the Xuantian Dao Sect was once just a Celestial Emperor sect with no real foundation. It was only after the current leader took charge of the sect that a great change occurred.
Rather than saying that the sect received the Mandate of Heaven, it would be more accurate to say that the person before them was chosen by Heaven.
Those with such great fortune, as long as they don't die, will achieve immeasurable success in the future.
In ancient times, some people with average talent but great fortune were able to reach astonishing heights.
Someone like Shen Changqing, whose talent is monstrous, and who also has great fortune, could reach heights that even Venerable Jinque could hardly predict.
Shen Changqing smiled faintly, but did not say much on the topic, and changed the subject directly.
"I have come here to ask you a favor, senior."
"You really don't come here unless you need something. Tell me, what do you need me for this time?"
Venerable Jinque chuckled and scolded, but did not show any intention of refusing.
The stronger the potential Shen Changqing demonstrated, the more willing he was to deepen his causal connection with him.
Venerable Jinque even had a premonition that his future opportunity to break through to the Saint level might fall on the other party.
At his level, without a great opportunity, even if he endures several more eons, it would be difficult to break through to the realm of a saint.
That level.
It cannot be achieved through arduous practice alone.
Only by seeking great opportunities and truly understanding the way of the sages can one break through.
otherwise.
He would spend his entire life struggling to make any progress in the Nine Tribulations Half-Saint Realm.
Although the demigod has already achieved immortality, Venerable Jinque would certainly strive for any opportunity to break through.
Immortality does not mean giving up; it is a new beginning.
Although the strength of a Nine Tribulations Half-Saint is not weak, it cannot be considered top-tier.
In the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, there are many ancient beings capable of suppressing half-saints.
If one remains stagnant, one day a great calamity may befall them, and they may face death and extinction.
at this point.
Having experienced the great calamity of the evil spirits, Venerable Jinque had a deeper understanding of this.
When such a calamity descends, let alone a half-saint, even a saint, a great saint, or even a supreme being will perish.
Without sufficient strength, even immortality is useless.
after all.
Immortality does not mean immortality.
If faced with a great calamity, without sufficient strength to protect oneself, one will still be unable to escape the fate of demise.
Shen Changqing said, "This junior hopes that senior can secretly intervene and safely bring my Xuantian Dao Sect members away from Shenfeng Prefecture!"
These words were spoken.
Venerable Jinque frowned immediately.
"It's not that I don't agree to this matter, but there are too many forces eyeing your Xuantian Dao Sect, especially those geniuses who ascended the Ancient Immortal Stele, many of which are secretly coveting them."
If they leave Heavenly Dao Immortal City, other forces will definitely take action immediately.
"I cannot ultimately represent the entire Taiyi Holy Land. If other forces make a move, I will find it difficult to protect them!"
at this point.
Venerable Jinque was not lying.
To put it bluntly, he was just a ninth-tribulation half-saint.
Although in this era, a half-saint who has achieved immortality is already considered top-tier, those who have stepped into the Nine Tribulations Realm have few rivals.
However, it's important to distinguish between different situations in any matter.
If facing ordinary forces, Venerable Jinque would not be afraid at all. If anyone dared to obstruct him, he could simply suppress them with a slap.
But the problem is...
This time, many of their opponents are forces of the same level as the Taiyi Holy Land.
Let alone being a mere Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint, even if he were a Saint, it would be difficult for him to intimidate all sides and protect the lives of the disciples of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.
Seemingly to prevent Shen Changqing from misunderstanding, Venerable Jinque added another explanation after speaking.
“Other forces are not a problem, but the Eternal Celestial Court will never let this go. Xuan Tu alone is troublesome enough.”
Upon hearing this...
Shen Changqing remained calm.
What Venerable Jinque said was exactly what he had expected.
The Xuantian Dao Sect and the Taiyi Holy Land are not related, and the latter would never oppose the entire Eternal Immortal Court for the sake of the Xuantian Dao Sect.
Just as this person said.
The person in front of me can only represent himself, not the entire Taiyi Holy Land.
and so.
It was perfectly normal for Venerable Jinque to refuse.
But Shen Changqing was not disappointed. Instead, he continued, "This time, only the disciples of the Xuantian Dao Sect are leaving. I will continue to stay in Tiandao Immortal City."
Furthermore… if I am confident that I can attract the attention of other forces and ensure that their gaze is diverted from the other Xuan Tian Dao sect members, are you confident that you can lead the junior sect cultivators away?”
"What are your plans?"
"This junior will make a trip to the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele!"
Shen Changqing said in a deep voice.
These words caused Venerable Jinque's expression to change instantly, and he sat up straighter.
"You must seize the opportunity on the Immortal Emperor's Stele!"
He asked, word by word.
Shen Changqing nodded.
"Not bad!"
Upon hearing this...
Venerable Jinque fell silent.
He then exhaled a breath of stale air, picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip, as if he were weighing something.
a long time.
Venerable Jinque put down his teacup again and said, "Alright, if you really intend to use yourself as bait, then this matter should not be a big problem."
But you need to think carefully. If things really come to this, some neutral forces might intervene.
That would make it even more difficult for you to want to or leave the Divine Sun Domain!
"I understand what you mean, senior, but things have come to this point, so we must go all in. Besides, the matter is not yet settled, and no one can make any definitive judgment!"
Shen Changqing smiled faintly, and the confidence in his expression also impressed Venerable Jinque.
The Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Holy Land gave him a deep look and finally nodded.
"Then I'll wait and see!"
"Alright, I will bring them tomorrow. I'll take my leave now!"
Shen Changqing did not linger in the Heavenly Immortal Mansion and immediately got up and left.
The Venerable Golden Palace drank alone, and the entire celestial abode fell into silence.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Venerable Jinque picked up his teacup again, a slight smile appearing on his face: "Talented people emerge in every generation, and I can hardly understand the prodigies of the younger generation these days."
After years of cultivation, I don't know when I lost my fighting spirit.
If this child survives this time, he will surely emerge as a hidden dragon, and the Eternal Immortal Court will never have another chance to suppress him!
Having figured this out, Venerable Jinque vaguely felt that he had gained some kind of enlightenment, and the bottleneck that had previously trapped him seemed to have loosened a bit.
This discovery.
This put Venerable Jinque in a very good mood.
"This child truly possesses great fortune!"
His limited understanding was insufficient to allow him to break through to the Saint Realm, and he didn't even qualify for further advancement.
But it's important to understand that at one's level, even if one were to remain in seclusion for hundreds of millions of years, it's not guaranteed that one would find even the slightest opportunity to loosen up.
Just by spending time and talking with Shen Changqing, I've already gained some insights, which is enough to show that he's extraordinary.
In this way.
Venerable Jinque was also somewhat looking forward to what would happen next.
A peerless genius who has achieved physical sainthood and is capable of defeating a half-saint, I wonder where he would rank on the Immortal Emperor's Stele.
Top three!
Or perhaps, reaching the summit!
As for whether Shen Changqing could step onto the Immortal Emperor Stele and whether he could enter the top ten, Venerable Jinque had no doubts.
If even such a prodigy cannot enter the top ten of the Immortal Emperor's Stele, then how many others are qualified?
Many of the top ten Immortal Emperors on the Immortal Emperor Stele today do not have the qualifications to challenge a Half-Saint.
at this point.
Venerable Jinque was quite clear about the matter.
the other side.
Shen Changqing returned to the Xuanjie Immortal Mansion.
Before long, all the disciples of the Xuantian Dao Sect gathered here.
"metropolitan!"
"Master!"
When they met Shen Changqing, they all greeted him with utmost respect.
Looking at the crowd before him, Shen Changqing slowly said, "Tomorrow you will travel to the Heavenly Immortal Mansion where the Taiyi Holy Land is located. A Nine Tribulation Half-Saint named Venerable Jinque will lead you away from Shenfeng Prefecture."
The moment he finished speaking, everyone's expression changed.
Leave Shenfeng Prefecture!
The disciples present were all aware of the current situation facing the Xuantian Dao Sect.
Shen Changqing noticed the changes in everyone's expressions, but he didn't pay much attention to them. Instead, he looked at Ji Yang, Ye Yun, and the others.
"Ji Yang, you are responsible for the safety of all your disciples. Venerable Jinque can be trusted, but not entirely."
Furthermore, after leaving Shenfeng Prefecture, there are many things I can discuss with Ye Yun. He is a person of great fortune, and if faced with danger, he might offer a chance to find a glimmer of hope.
After saying that, Shen Changqing handed a jade talisman to Ji Yang, who reached out and took it.
He did not inform Ji Yang and the others that he would do this after leaving Shenfeng Prefecture; all the information was left in the jade talisman.
There are some things that are not convenient to say too much about. Although the cultivators present are all core disciples of the Xuantian Dao Sect, they still need to be cautious where necessary.
at this point.
Ji Yang also understood the situation without saying a word.
However, he also had concerns.
"What about you, Master?"
"I have my own plans. You don't need to worry about them too much. Just proceed according to the plan!"
