Chapter Fifteen to Sixteen: The Reappearance of the Path-Des
emonic forces have suffered a major blow.Besides, now that the Qin Dynasty has strong figures in charge, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's as solid as iron.Thinking about it.He couldn't help b...Having obtained Zhong Shanchou's memories, and the previous words of Zhong Shandung Xuan, Shen Changqing understood in his heart that the fragments of the Sun-Moon Divine Nation were particularly important things for powerful beings in the Divine Realm.
But.
Unless you reach a certain level of cultivation, you cannot refine the fragments of the Divine Kingdom.
Let's examine the reasons.
That is, within the fragments of the divine realm, there lies the power of the Divine King.
The King of Gods.
... has become the embodiment of a divine kingdom.
As long as the divine kingdom exists, powerful beings of the Divine King realm will never truly fall.
But the same thing.
If the divine kingdom collapses, the divine king will naturally meet his end.
However.
Even the power left behind by a fallen God King is not something an ordinary God Realm cultivator could withstand.
If one's foundation is insufficient and forcefully refines a shard of the divine kingdom, they may be backlashed by the divine king's power contained within. At best, it will result in severe injuries leading to a regression in cultivation. At worst, they could even perish on the spot.
"Since I can't refine the fragments of the divine kingdom right now, it makes sense to exchange them for other treasures. "
However, the things I need are somewhat different from what the Divine Realm normally requires.
If we rashly throw out two pieces of the Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom to conduct this kind of transaction, it will really attract the attention of other powerful individuals, and the future consequences are bound to be numerous -- ”
Shen Changqing's expression was grave.
Blending in with the Zhongshan clan doesn't mean you are absolutely safe.
When Zhong Shan died in battle, the statue cracked once and was later repaired to its original state.
Right now, Zhong Shan Dong Xuan is checking himself over. He hasn't found any problems, but he can't say for sure that the other party has no suspicion at all.
At this time.
In terms of action, it is imperative to ensure there are no loopholes.
Otherwise.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Now that his misdeeds have been exposed, what awaits him as a consequence is self-evident.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
"The shards of the Divine Kingdom definitely need to be thrown out. Holding onto them is a waste. If I could exchange them for something useful, I might be able to break through to the third level of the Cave Heaven realm, or even higher in a short time."
"Just…"
The fragments of the divine kingdom must be discarded, but they cannot be openly discarded. They must not be detected by the Candle Sect.
"This matter needs to be kept secret, so I can't entrust it to others. I have to do it myself."
Shen Changqing fell into deep thought.
To be honest.
If he were the true Zhongshan enemy, then wanting the fragments of the Divine Nation would mean demanding them, and not wanting them would mean freely exchanging for something else. Even if he truly exchanged for a bunch of useless things, there wouldn't be anything to worry about.
After all, that was a true vendetta of Zhongshan.
The problem is.
Shen Changqing was clear about his own situation.
>
There are some things.
Please note that the content inside > was originally empty. I've kept it as such in my response.
Zhong Shan was capable of doing things openly and honestly, but he couldn't follow along with them.
Others may not fear being investigated, but you should be cautious.
A cautious sailor lasts a thousand years.
This sentence can be applied anywhere, 100%.
Take a deep breath.
He decided that he had to get a good understanding of the Ancient Continent and all the celestial races.
Though he had obtained Zhong Shanchou's memories, that genius of the Zhong Shan clan spent most of his time cultivating. He didn't bother to learn about anything beyond what was necessary.
For example, take the ancient continent.
He doesn't say "at a glance" but it's pretty much the same.
I don't know anything about where stolen goods are sold or where large-scale transactions take place.
Here we go!
"I still need to find some time, and go to the Qīngfēng clan."
Shen Changqing thought of other things.
If he disguises himself as Zhong Shan Qiu, then the other party's strength cannot stay at the third level of the Divine Realm forever. When necessary, it is still necessary to improve one or two levels.
The higher the strength of a disguised identity, the greater its role in the future.
>Just kidding.
If one could ascend to the position of Divine King using this identity and rule over the entire Zhōng Shān clan, then those demon clans would be nothing to worry about.
Of course.
This is just a thought.
But no matter what, faith is especially important to Shen Changqing at the moment.
There is nothing else.
It's enough to enhance the sea of consciousness divine fire.
As a genius of the Candle Sect, if Zhong Shan Qiu hadn't made a breakthrough for a long time, it would be hard to say anything.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
However.
Zhong Shanqiu broke through to the fifth level of the Divine Realm five hundred years ago, and it has only been since then that he has progressed from the initial stage of the Divine Realm to the third level. Even if he doesn't break through for decades in the future, it is normal.
But—
Shen Changqing still hopes to make some breakthroughs himself.
After all, the stronger one's innate talent for disguise, the more power they can borrow.
At the same time.
If one were to utilize the power of faith to make a breakthrough, it wouldn't raise suspicion from the Zhuzong or even the Zhongshan clan.
Less than a day.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When Cui Fucai returned from outside, he saw Shen Changqing bowing respectfully.
"Master, my subordinate has inquired."
“Speak.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Recently, Elder Xia led thirty Divine Realm experts to Zhenzong, claiming that Zhenzong should compensate for the incident where their disciples attacked the Sect Master in the Forbidden Zone of Death. Zhenzong, under pressure, had no choice but to agree.
Finally, Zhenzong handed over a fragment of the Yiyuan Riyue Shen Guo, and settled the matter.
Now that the news has spread, all the sects and factions must have heard about it.
Cui Fu replied truthfully.
When the other party finished speaking, Shen Changqing's eyes changed slightly.
"I understand, you may go now."
“I submit my resignation!”
"Wait..."
"Is there anything else the Master wishes to command"
>
Cui Fu frowned in confusion.
Shen Changqing said, "I need some information about the ancient continent. Please collect it for me, as comprehensively as possible. This matter needn't be widely publicized. If done well, I will give you a chance to enter the reincarnation pool someday."
“Rest assured, Master, I will definitely do a good job!”
Cui Fu's face was flushed with excitement.
Rebirth Pool!
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
That is the sacred land of every race.
Once entered the reincarnation pool, one's original body will shed and become a true member of the Zhongshan clan.
>
You know.
His race had long been extinct.
Even if some clansmen remained, they couldn't form a significant force. Now, to have the opportunity to become a member of the Zhongshan clan is a great honor.
In fact.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Most other foreign tribes who pay homage to the Zhú Zong do so with the hope that they might one day enter the Rebirth Pool and become true members of the Zhōng Shān clan.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Now.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Shen Changqing's promise gave Cui Fu hope.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He didn't doubt that the other party was fooling him.
The one before us is a genius of the Zhongshan clan. If he truly grows to a certain level, it would not be impossible for him to open a reincarnation pool for himself.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
So.
After hearing this, Cui Fu was invigorated.
Even a sliver of hope, to him, was enough.
“Go away.”
Then Shen Changqing waved again.
This time.
Then Cui Fugong respectfully bowed and withdrew.
"The Candle Sect's ways are truly domineering!"
Recalling the report the other party had just given, Shen Changqing for the first time directly understood the domineering nature of the Candle Sect.
Other sects would not only have to mourn the death of a divine realm expert but also present an offering.
This approach.
It's like being slapped on the left cheek and then turning your right cheek to be slapped too.
On the contrary.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The founding emperor chose to surrender.
It's clear that Zhuzong's power is indeed much greater than Zhenzong's. Even under such humiliation, Zhenzong can still swallow his anger.
Judging from the way Zhu Zong operates. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
>
Shen Changqing finally truly understood one thing, that the law of the weak being preyed upon by the strong among the myriad races of the heavens and earth was far more severe than among humans.
Human behavior.
>
One may also have to consider the court and one's own reputation.
>
But the countless races of heaven and earth are different.
Among all the celestial races, there is no power that suppresses them all, so naturally, there is no order whatsoever.
>
The only connection.
It is the complex relationships between various racial factions that prevent other races from acting rashly.
But even if there are such involvements, any ethnic force's actions do not need to be too concerned.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
With fists strong enough, one naturally acts recklessly and without fear.
If your fist isn't big enough, you even have to be careful when drinking water.
That's exactly it.
Cultivation resources are especially important things for all kinds of creatures in the myriad heavens and myriad races.
This is not just about oneself, but also about the sect and even the race behind it.
The matters of the Founding Emperor and the Imperial Ancestor had no significant impact on Shen Changqing.
Since he received the divine country fragments from Zhōngshān Xià, he entered seclusion again.
It's nothing else.
Just back at the Candle Sect, Shen Changqing didn't plan to be too flashy.
First, retreat for a period of time to let some previous issues quiet down, and then do your own thing.
He could also take advantage of this opportunity to make good use of the spiritual energy here to improve his own strength.
Hidden treasure unearthed.
Even if it hasn't reached the level of a full week, opening up one more thing can also increase one's strength by a point.
Even if the improvement is not significant, it is still a real improvement.
>
One year.
Qiu Feng had nothing happen.
During that time.
Cui Fu gathered all the information Shen Changqing needed.
That's all.
After receiving it, Shen Changqing once again entered a state of seclusion.
In the multicolored river.
There exists a place containing myriad Dao rules.
And within the river where myriad rules converge, there was a single streak of pure gold, like a playful fish, swimming freely and merrily.
Above the long river.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
A towering figure shrouded in golden mist, its gaze fixed upon the golden fish swimming above. A low voice resonated through the void.
“The Path-Destruction Rule has grown even more powerful. Just looking at the success of the rules converging, those who have drawn out the rules are probably already comparable to the realm of gods!”
The sound fell.
The void around them cracked open, and several more figures materialized.
"To have grown to this point in just a few years, the creatures that appear with the Dao Destruction Rule, their talents are not simple!"
It's not necessarily just one being of his kind who caused this. If the entire race were cultivating the Annihilation Dao Rule, then it would be normal for the Annihilation Dao Rule to become this powerful.
Some exist to speak in opposition.
“If a race were to walk the path of annihilation, could we then use this opportunity to deduce the complete information”
"No."
At first, the colossal figure trembled slightly, and the golden light seemed to intensify.
>“Any rule has an owner, the first one to make rules derivative is a kind of ruler, though he hasn't yet grown to truly wield power over them.”
But we, wanting to deduce by the Dao-Elimination Rule, can only deduce this living being of this life.
Upon hearing this.
> All the others had fallen silent.
Last time they tried to push it through together, but it didn't succeed much.
At this time.
The majestic being, shrouded in golden mist, continued to speak.
No matter what, since the extermination rule has once again grown, we absolutely have no possibility of letting it continue. This time, we must reason through it again and find the location of this creature's existence.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Otherwise, let it grow unchecked, and it will be detrimental to us!
>
Upon hearing this.
The others glanced at each other, then nodded.
"Okay!"
And then he fell silent.
Others simultaneously made their move, each displaying their divine abilities. They directly caused the flowing water of the Rule River to stagnate.
> Next.
The Golden Vast's imposing figure made a move, directly seizing a sliver of the Annihilation Rule's power from within.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then.
He held the breath of the Dao-destroying rule in one hand and then forcefully pushed it with his power.
One could only see the power of Dao's annihilation rules struggling and wriggling before it, as if something was being born, but also as if nothing had happened at all.
A long time later.
The stagnant river of rules flows again.
The captive fish, too, broke free from the seal and flowed back into the river of rules.
The next moment.
The rules surging river creates a huge wave.
Several figures above, upon seeing this, all changed color and hastily cast spells to resist. During this time, the divine light dimmed once again, clearly suffering some backlash.
After a long time.
Here is the translation of your content:

There existed a gaze fixed upon that towering figure.

"Are there any results"
Here's the translated text, keeping the HTML tags:

"There is nothing…"

The golden majestic body, his voice was deep.
“My last divination managed to pick up some faint clues, but this time, I couldn’t detect even a trace. It was as if the heavens themselves were shrouded in mystery, or perhaps this person vanished into thin air.”
I suspect that a powerful being of equal or higher level must have intervened to conceal the heavens' secrets, only then could such a situation occur.
>
Upon hearing this.
The faces in the hazy golden light seemed to have changed slightly.
Conceal the heavenly secrets!
Not every strong person has the right to veil secrets.
Especially when they personally calculated it, and were able to block the Heavenly Secrets, it seemed that besides beings of the same level, no other powerful individuals could achieve this.
>
"Who on earth dares to protect beings who follow the rule of destroying the path in this situation!"
There was a hint of anger in his voice.
Subsequently.
There was another chilling voice: "We are beings of the same level, yet some are absent. The rules of extinction emerged, but they remained indifferent. There must be a reason for this, who among us knows what they're thinking"
And —
"How can you be certain that it was those beings who intervened to destroy the Dao Rule, rather than them simply following their own path to its destruction --"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
As soon as the words left his mouth.
At the very beginning, a colossal being with an imposing presence rumbled in a deep voice.
“Lord Thunder, tread carefully!”
"Why does the White Lord deceive himself If it weren't for their words, how could he even begin to understand the Annihilation Rule As for the Annihilation Rule being weak, that can also be explained."
The rules of extermination set by the human race are always different from the path we follow.
Although they possess formidable power within Shinto, their reliance on the Extinction Dao rules doesn't necessarily equate to immense strength. However, considering their profound foundation, it's reasonable that they have achieved this level of growth in just a few years.
The master of thunder sneered, his words full of certainty.
"Could it be that Master Bai thinks, what kind of genius could bring the Dao-Breaking Rule to this point in just a few years You must know that when we last came here, the Dao-Breaking Rule was extremely weak, and we estimated it to be only at the level of entering Sainthood."
"Now that the Dao-Extinguishing Rule has grown to the level of a god realm, that's the best explanation."
Upon hearing this.
>
The magnificent golden form, the embodiment of Bai Zhu's silence.
That's right.
Several years.
From entering the Sacred Realm to reaching the Divine Realm, even the most gifted individuals wouldn't be able to progress at such a speed.
A moment later.
He let out a slight sigh.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
“This matter still needs to be treated with caution, it's a chain reaction, and any move could have widespread consequences. I suggest we observe for some time before making concrete decisions.”
That's it.
Bai Zhu ignored the other existences and disappeared directly into the River of Rules.
The remaining ones exchanged glances, then silently departed.
Very soon.
In the river of rules, only Lord Lei remains.
“To keep a tiger as a pet invites disaster. You fools don't understand this simple truth, fine. Since you want to wait, I'll wait with you. If things truly reach a point of no return, I want to see who among you can still sit idly by!”
The main hall.
Shen Changqing sat cross-legged, his body, which had been motionless for a long time, suddenly trembled.
Eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened.
"That's strange!"
Just now.
It felt as if there were eyes peering at me from the shadows, but they were obscured by mist and couldn't truly see me.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
A strong warning forcefully pulled him out of his cultivation state.
Recalling that feeling just now, Shen Changqing's face turned solemn.
"Something's wrong!"
This feeling.
This is a tricky one! I can translate the text content within the HTML tags, but I can't actually change the tags themselves. So, if you give me something like:
Shen Changqing still felt that with the rich spiritual energy here, a thousand years would be enough for him to perfect his Daoist realm.
It is now possible.
Only then did he realize that his original idea was really too naive.
One thousand years.
At the current rate of progress, reaching the third level of the Cave Heaven would be considered quite good.
Unless one cultivates oneself, one can never truly understand the immensity of the difficulty in opening up hidden realms.
There was a moment.
Shen Changqing even had the urge to abandon martial arts and instead pursue the path of Taoism.
But then I thought about it.
He still hasn't actually done that.
>
Though Shinto is good, it is not what I truly desire. Only the martial arts align with my heart's calling.
Although this road is difficult to walk.
However.
The harder the road, the more joyful the harvest when you eventually succeed.
With such thoughts in mind, Shen Changqing's conviction remained unshaken.
But.
He has now completely abandoned the idea of seclusion. To improve his strength, he must take shortcuts. Relying solely on himself to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is simply too slow.
Many thousands of years later.
By the time I had stepped into the ninth heaven of the Heavenly Cave, no one knew how many times the human race had been destroyed.
"The matter of the God Kingdom fragments is urgent, I need to exchange them for resources as soon as possible, but before that, there's one more thing I have to do!"
> I want to get through the customs.
Shen Changqing got up and opened the palace gate that had been sealed for a long time.
outside the door.
Cui Fu had always been waiting there.
Seeing the movement behind him, he immediately withdrew from his meditative state, stood up and bowed deeply.
Welcome the Peak Master's return!
"Hmm."
Here is your text translated into English:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing nodded slightly, his gaze fell on the person in front of him. The other party didn't seem to have made much progress during this period.
"During my time in seclusion, have there been any special circumstances"
> God King, the Imperial Court would possess powerful weapons. At that time, whether facing countless celestial races or the Xuan Realm, we would have some advantages.Especially the latter.>The stronge...
