Chapter 3840 The Strange Sage
"General Wei Zhenbei of the Immortal Qin Dynasty is leading ten million troops straight towards Zhenyuan Pass!"
"Furthermore, news has come that Qin Cang, the patriarch of the Xianqin Dynasty's royal family, has also joined the army on the expedition. In no more than five days, they will be able to reach Zhenyuan Pass!"
Inside Zhenyuan Pass, in the main hall, Chu Junhe, with a solemn expression, recounted the information he had gathered from Yushan Peak.
In the past few days, many disciples from Jade Mountain Peak have left Zhenyuan Pass to venture deep into the Immortal Qin Dynasty to gather information.
Because there are many cultivators in the ancient immortal realm, the disciples of Jade Mountain Peak are like a drop of water merging into the ocean, and naturally they will not cause any ripples.
In addition, the movement of a massive army of tens of millions of people was quite significant, making it easy to gather information.
"Qin Cang!"
Shen Changqing remained calm upon hearing this name.
obviously.
This matter differs somewhat from Wenren Chen's speculation.
Judging from the news, the Xianqin Dynasty had already taken measures before Zhenyuan Pass fell.
The Immortal Qin Dynasty highly values this gateway to the northern frontier.
but.
Although the process differed slightly, the result was the same.
With the army of the Immortal Qin Dynasty pressing in, a battle is inevitable.
If Qin Cang can be killed in this battle, it will be equivalent to severing two arms of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, and the remaining Su Yufeng will be no threat.
After all, with Shen Changqing's current strength and the Twelve Heavens at his disposal, he is not afraid of most of the Tribulation Half-Saints in a one-on-one situation.
If several Tribulation Half-Saints from the Immortal Qin Dynasty were to personally visit, then things would become somewhat troublesome.
However, if there is only one Su Yufeng, Shen Changqing is naturally confident in his ability to handle the situation.
"Continue to secretly monitor the movements of the Immortal Qin Dynasty's army; do not take any other rash actions!"
Shen Changqing made up his mind and said calmly.
Chu Junhe nodded in acceptance and then withdrew as well.
Shen Changqing closed his eyes, his divine sense not only covering the entire Zhenyuan Pass, but also spreading outwards little by little.
However, when his divine sense touched one of the forbidden zones of life, a savage and terrifying aura suddenly erupted, and his divine sense was shattered. Then, Shen Changqing opened his eyes and looked in the direction of that forbidden zone of life.
"saint!"
Shen Changqing muttered to himself.
No living saints are living in seclusion in this forbidden zone of life. After all, this is a forbidden zone of life in the ancient immortal realm, and no saint can stay there.
However, within that forbidden zone of life, there are strange creatures comparable to saints.
The reason we can determine that it is at the Saint level is because the Seven Profound Divine Tower cannot contain its aura, and although that power is strong and surpasses that of a Nine Tribulations Half Saint, it is far inferior to a powerhouse of the level of the Eternal Heavenly Emperor.
Or.
Compared to the Eternal Heavenly Emperor, that aura was worlds apart.
That is why Shen Changqing concluded that it was a strange being at the level of a saint.
Of course.
Even if such beings are merely saints, they are still beyond my ability to deal with.
Any saint can surpass a nine-tribulation half-saint; the former can suppress the latter, and it is even easier for the former to suppress the immortal emperor than for a half-saint to suppress the immortal emperor.
Throughout history, few have been able to attain immortality, and even fewer have truly reached the realm of sainthood.
but.
Those strange creatures exist within the forbidden zone of life, making it difficult for them to leave.
Shen Changqing was already aware of this.
otherwise.
He wouldn't rashly use his divine sense to test the other party.
But with Shen Changqing's keen senses, he could discover that the vast forbidden zone was actually a place where living beings existed.
To put it simply, the forbidden zones of life are not static.
These forbidden zones of life are just like living beings; they breathe and... grow!
"If we allow such forbidden zones of life to grow unchecked, Zhenyuan Pass will be completely swallowed up by them and become part of the forbidden zones of life in a few years!"
If it really comes to that, the creatures within Zhenyuan Pass will inevitably become nourishment for this forbidden zone of life!
Shen Changqing pondered to himself, but showed little concern on the surface.
The reason is simple: the growth of the forbidden zone of life is very slow. It would take at least hundreds of millions of years to truly swallow the entire Zhenyuan Pass.
Moreover.
This is an ancient battlefield.
Even if this great calamity can last for a considerable period of time, it is impossible for it to last for hundreds of millions of years.
Shen Changqing had already left this place before the forbidden zone of life swallowed Zhenyuan Pass.
and so.
Whether the forbidden zone of life changes or not, it doesn't matter much to him.
Shen Changqing used his divine sense to explore for two reasons: first, to see the depths of the forbidden zone of life, and second, to see if there were any opportunities within it.
Entering the ancient battlefield is not only about plundering the creations of Heaven, but also about searching for opportunities from all sides.
In the instant his divine sense was shattered, Shen Changqing glimpsed a wisp of destiny.
Immediately.
With a thought, he flicked his finger, and a drop of blood fell before him, eventually transforming into an incarnation.
Without Shen Changqing needing to say anything more, the avatar understood immediately and left Zhenyuan Pass, heading towards the forbidden zone of life on the left.
Shen Changqing sat upright in the main hall, his divine sense connected with his avatar. He shared the scenes the other saw with him, and everything within the forbidden zone of life was presented in his eyes.
Within the forbidden zone of life, the dark red earth seemed to have evolved over many years from the dried blood of countless living beings. A putrid and eerie aura permeated the air, and when one stepped on the earth of the forbidden zone, it was as if the weeping blood of wronged souls lingered in one's ears.
Upon seeing this strange phenomenon, Shen Changqing raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.
"As expected of a place that can nurture a saint, this place is indeed extraordinary. Even if an ordinary cultivator enters this place without provoking that saint, it would probably be difficult for them to come out alive!"
The forbidden zone is called the forbidden zone of life.
Because of this, no living being is allowed to enter such places. Once a creature disobeys and enters the forbidden zone, it will be difficult for it to come out alive.
Every forbidden zone is stained with the blood of countless lives, forging its infamous reputation.
Shen Changqing didn't know much about this forbidden zone of life before him, but he could already glean a lot from the scene and the eerie aura permeating the air.
This moment.
Shen Changqing remained in a state of alertness throughout.
He would immediately sever his connection with his avatar if any unusual activity occurred, in order to avoid affecting himself.
So far, although the atmosphere in the forbidden zone is somewhat eerie, no major dangers have occurred.
Those cries of wronged souls weeping blood are merely the remnants of spirits that perished in the forbidden zone of life, not worth mentioning.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, being entangled by such a remnant soul would be difficult to escape, and they might even be secretly drained of their life force and die.
But for Shen Changqing, even an avatar was not something these things could threaten.
To know.
With Shen Changqing's current strength, even an avatar created from a drop of blood is comparable to a top-tier Immortal Emperor.
Even when facing the top 100 experts of the Immortal Emperor Stele, he was not at a disadvantage.
Physical sainthood!
It is certainly no ordinary person.
While this level of strength isn't enough to roam freely in forbidden zones, it's enough to handle minor troubles without fear.
along the way.
Shen Changqing saw many corpses. Some of the corpses had turned into bones and would turn to ashes with a light touch. Others, although they had been dead for many years, still retained a terrifying aura.
One section of the immortal bone was filled with an even more powerful aura.
Shen Changqing could tell at a glance that it was the immortal bone left behind by a half-saint.
but.
Those immortal bones were thick and strong, clearly something that no human semi-saint could possess.
He had no particular interest in such semi-saintly bones, merely glancing at them casually before leaving.
Just then.
The earth shook violently, mountains collapsed, and a bizarre being several meters tall with a severely decayed and rotten body suddenly appeared. Then, with a roar, it charged towards the avatar.
The eerie entity's body blurred into afterimages, and a foul stench filled the air. Even a single breath from the avatar caused the flow of immortal energy within its body to become somewhat sluggish.
"poisonous!"
The avatar's expression changed slightly as he watched the strange being approach. He immediately summoned a long spear and thrust it out with lightning speed, unleashing the full power of a peak Immortal Emperor. In an instant, the spear pierced through the creature's chest and pinned it to a mountain wall.
"Roar!"
The eerie being roared in anger, struggling and twisting wildly, its arms gripping the gun tightly as it tried to pull it out, but the avatar would not give it the chance.
Before the strange being could truly escape, the avatar unleashed a celestial seal, directly shattering its head.
next moment.
All the struggles and roars eventually fell silent.
Only thick, black blood flowed down, its foul stench filling the air, and everything that came into contact with it was completely corroded.
Upon seeing this, the avatar grabbed at the air with his right hand, and the spear immediately fell into his hand. At the same time, he used his immortal power to wash away all the filth attached to the spear.
All of this seemed trivial, but from Shen Changqing's perspective as an avatar, he could see that there were already some traces of corrosion left on the spear.
Although these traces were not obvious, they could not escape his notice.
"Even top-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts can be corroded. It seems that this strange being's cultivation level was definitely not low when it was alive. I just don't know how many years have passed since its death, that its corpse would undergo such changes!"
Shen Changqing's expression shifted slightly. To ensure his avatar could explore the forbidden zone of life with peace of mind, he had bestowed upon it three top-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts for protection.
With his current resources, two or three top-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts are nothing to him.
Although the incarnation is quite powerful, the forbidden zones are fraught with danger. Having a few treasures by one's side will greatly improve safety.
Just like now, if it weren't for having a supreme treasure, it wouldn't be easy for the avatar to kill that strange being.
Don't be fooled by how easily the avatar killed the opponent; that was only because it relied on the power of a supreme treasure. Shen Changqing could tell that the strange being's strength was also at the level of a top-tier Immortal Emperor.
If a corpse possesses such power, the person in life must have been at least a long-lived half-saint, or perhaps even stronger.
It's just that their strength has weakened over the long years.
