Chapter 200 to 201: Heavenly Secrets in Disarray
venly Watch keep a close eye on those forces. If anyone tries to run, it's fine, but if they dare to touch any assets within the sect, kill them all on the spot.”Those who are unbeatable, send me a me...And then, in a flash.
The blood paper turned into pulp.
Shen Changqing glanced at the corpse on the ground, feeling a tinge of regret in his heart.
The only regret.
That's right, I have never truly seen this martial art.
As for Patriarch Qingyuan dying at the hands of others, it had little to do with him.
> If they're dead, they're dead.
Power is still your own.
That's all.
Divine power also shares some similarities with kill value.
That is to say, as long as a mountain spirit falls within a certain range of oneself, one can automatically obtain divine power value.
Calm down.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing saw the numbers on the panel.
Name: Shen Changqing Affiliation: Great Qin Demon Suppression Division Identity: Governor of Nanyu Mansion Realm: Grandmaster Soul: Soul (Second Stage)
Physical Body: Divine Thunder Golden Body (Sixth Stage)
Martial Arts: Star Finger (Divine Ability Level 1, can be upgraded), Ascension Steps (Level 2, can be upgraded)
Slaughter: 726
Abilities: 580
"Divine Power Points reached 580!"
Shen Changqing took a deep breath, his heart couldn't help but be agitated.
The translation is simply:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
580 divine power points.
It's a bumper harvest!
But after some thought, he realized that despite having slain hundreds of mountain spirits, he had only received over five hundred Divine Skill Points in the end.
It is obvious.
The divine power bestowed by mountain spirits remains a one-to-one ratio, unlike demons who grant killing points that increase significantly with growing strength.
>
However.
He wasn't entirely sure how many divine power points the four-headed mountain spirit had given him.
But there's no doubt that the divine powers granted by the four-headed mountain spirits are definitely not excessive.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Seeing the values on the panel.
Shen Changqing pondered, "Five hundred and eighty divine power points, I wonder how much this will be able to elevate the Star Point Indicator!"
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
Thinking to oneself.
He simply chose to improve.
Suddenly.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Five hundred and eighty divine power points, gone in the blink of an eye, consumed two hundred points.
Before Shen Changqing could react, he felt his mind being pulled by some kind of force and arrived in a void.
In the void of space.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A silver river flows, as if it runs through all space.
Above the Milky Way, there are countless stars shining brightly. The vast expanse of stars is arranged in an orderly manner, captivating one's attention and drawing them into its depths.
Suddenly.
The stars are trembling.
A star suspended in the sky suddenly plummeted towards the Milky Way below like a shooting star.
That moment.
The void collapsed, like the heavens and earth splitting apart.
In the face of that might, Shen Changqing felt he was not a Grandmaster, but a tiny ant.
> As long as stars fall.
Then one can easily erase himself.
Cannot die!
As a great terror rose in his heart, his face became strained. He wanted to flee but had no way out.
Finally.
I could only watch helplessly as the stars fell and completely swallowed me.
Before his consciousness was completely plunged into darkness, Shen Changqing seemed to have glimpsed something different.
In a temple.
A body that stood still suddenly trembled, and as its eyes opened, a destructive aura swept across the surroundings.
Boom!
The enormous temple, with a deafening roar, collapsed.
But all the dust couldn't get close to Shen Changqing's body within three feet.
As for the collapse of the temple, he didn't care at this moment. All his mind was on recalling the scene of that star falling just now.
>
"This is supernatural power!"
After a long while, Shen Changqing let out a deep sigh.
He understands.
In terms of supernatural abilities, I've made some progress.
Then, look at the panel again.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As expected.
Xingzhi had already advanced from the first level of Divine Ability to the second level.
When Shen Changqing saw the remaining divine power, his face darkened.
"Lost 200 divine power points!"
Though he had long prepared for the consumption of his upgrade, when he saw that 200 Divine Pass Points were gone, he was still shocked.
This is a consumption.
It's really too big.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
Don't get too excited about this one time, easily getting over five hundred divine powers. It was just pure luck that I managed to sweep up most of the mountain spirits from four mountains all at once.
This is a test.
It will be much harder to get so many divine values again.
...like Mount Fengqiu.
All the hard work I've put in has only earned me a little bit of divine power.
In an instant.
>
Shen Changqing extinguished the urge to further enhance his Star Finger.
"Divine abilities can no longer be enhanced. Wait for the time to merge and create more powerful divine abilities, then you will be able to further enhance them."
Unlike external techniques, he found that the advancement of martial arts had a very obvious advantage.
That's the guaranteed number of floors.
It's as if the martial arts being integrated are like this: once you formally enter one, any subsequent martial arts integrated will have a minimum foundation at the introductory level, which is commonly known as "one layer."
But if neither of the two martial arts has been entered, then the merged martial art will also be at the stage of not having entered.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Regardless of whether the Star Pointer is in the first or second stage of divine power, after merging into a higher level, it will only remain at the first stage of divine power.
If that's the case, then raising my Star Index now would be a waste of time.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's better to integrate divine powers into the current state of perfection, and then use divine power values to enhance them. This way, it's the most economical approach.
Once he understood the connection, Shen Changqing felt a pang of pain.
200 divine powers were wasted just like that, it would be a lie to say I wasn't heartbroken.
But it's done.
He also knew that the divine power consumed was impossible to regain.
I just took a look at the Ascension Steps.
Then, Shen Changqing tried to improve it.
Finally.
Divine Ability value consumed 2 points, Dengxianbu (Ascending Immortal Steps) from the second layer was directly promoted to the fourth layer.
Seeing this, the anxiety in his heart subsided.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"It seems that the Ascending Immortal Steps aren't a divine ability. The amount of Divine Energy consumed isn't much, but for now, I'll prioritize divine abilities. I'll keep the Divine Energy for now and upgrade the Ascending Immortal Steps when I have some left over!"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Shaking his head, Shen Changqing did not continue to improve.
The three-tiered Immortal Ascension Steps also gave him a deeper understanding of this martial art.
He glanced at the corpses around him.
Shen Changqing took a step, leaping into the air and leaving the Qingyuan Mountains behind.
Some unknown place.
There were ferocious beasts with hideous forms, battling each other.
Suddenly.
A large hand directly picked up one of the ferocious beasts.
The ferocious beast, under the grip of the giant hand, had no ability to struggle.
Only to see a big hand squeeze with force.
The beast's body had already exploded open.
A blood-stained inner pill appeared there.
>
When the giant hand withdrew, a massive figure could be seen. It opened its mouth and swallowed the blood-stained inner pill. Then it chewed and smacked its lips, before showing a look of disdain on its face.
“The ferocious beasts in the boundary river, their quality is really too low. Their inner pills don't have much energy at all, they are truly trash!”
"It's a pity—"
"This deity can only hunt beasts for sustenance here now!"
The giant shook his head and sighed. Although he wore a look of disgust on his face, he still reached out again, mimicking the previous action, and pulled another ferocious beast out. Then, with a squeeze, he crushed its inner core and swallowed it.
Seeing this, the rest of the ferocious beasts all scattered and fled.
At this, the giant was about to grab another ferocious beast, but suddenly his hand froze, as if he had sensed something.
He tilted his head in one direction, a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Strange, it seems as if someone has triggered the restrictions left by this deity."
Thinking about it.
The giant couldn't help but calculate.
In the end, he gave up on that idea.
“Forget it, the heavens are in disarray right now, and I can't divine anything. Let's wait a while longer.”
There are many after-hand restrictions he left behind. If something were to be triggered, it wouldn't be strange at all.
Once again, he captured several ferocious beasts, extracted their inner pills, and swallowed them. After that, the giant left this place.

Beiyang Mountains.
>
After leaving the Qingyuan Mountains, Shen Changqing went straight here.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Beiyang Mountains were not far from the Qingyuan Mountains, and he didn't spend much time getting here.
The reason I came over so quickly is also very simple.
The Patriarch of Beiyang and his group of mountain spirits just died in the Qingyuan Mountains.
Then the mountain spirits present, were also killed by themselves.
Chen Changqing could be certain that the news had definitely not spread.
In that case.
He could have taken advantage of the situation before the news spread and alerted other mountain spirits, arriving at the Beiyang Mountains first and wiping out the remaining mountain spirits.
Regarding the slaying of the mountain spirit.
Shen Changqing didn't feel any guilt.
Based on these encounters with the Shanling, they see humans as livestock to be consumed, essentially indistinguishable from demons in their nature.
Well, then.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Then the mountain spirits are undoubtedly the great enemy of humankind.
As the garrison commander of Nanyu Mansion, it's only natural for him to eliminate the threat ahead of the human race.
If it were said that I am soft-hearted, that would be impossible.
Here's your content translated:
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
And.
Since the death of Patriarch Qingyuan, Shen Changqing felt that the presence of the mountain spirit was not as simple as it seemed.
Behind this race, there might be the scheming of some powerful being.
But one thing can be affirmed for certain, that powerful being definitely does not exist within heaven and earth.
>
Please note: The context ">" suggests that you want to remove the content within the tags, not translate it. If you meant something else, please clarify your request.
So.
He might as well just go all out and exterminate the entire mountain spirit clan.
>
Anyway, leaving such powerful figures behind also means they can't possibly be allies.
From the fact that the Mountain Spirit Clan only consumes human blood, one can glimpse the mysterious existence behind them. What kind of essence is it exactly
Take the initiative.
Eliminating the opponent's remaining trump cards is the best course of action.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Harvesting Godhood value.
Deepen your own foundation, and any subsequent threats will no longer be a threat.
Having made up my mind.
Shen Changqing, as always, disguised himself as an ordinary hunter and walked across the Beiyang Mountains.
His gaze swept across the surroundings, as if lost. In reality, he was silently looking for any possible mountain spirits.
“Beiyang Ancestor went to celebrate the birthday, it's impossible to take all the mountain spirits away. Not to mention there are many mountain spirits left behind, but at least the number won't be too small.”
I was thinking.
Shen Changqing patiently walked forward.
Less than an hour.
A faint spiritual power came, and a familiar scene appeared before his eyes again.
We had experience from last time.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This time, he disguised himself as being bewitched, and he was even more skilled at it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It has been half a month.
A secret letter, directly from Nan Youfu, arrived before Dong Fang Zhao.
"Mountain Spirits!"
Looking at the content above, he directly handed the sealed letter to Zhou Yuanzheng who was standing beside him.
“You should take a look too. You've been in Lu'an Prefecture for so long, you must be out of the loop on current events. It's a good opportunity to catch up.”
"Hmm."
Zhou Yuan did not refuse.
The other party is right, he has been in Lu'an Prefecture for over half a year, and he rarely pays attention to some information about the interior of Da Qin.
There's no way.
The Zhou dynasty's offensive was too strong, and with the strength of Luoyang Prefecture, it was difficult to resist.
Zhou Yuan, as the garrison commander of the capital city, was naturally extraordinary in his strength. It was precisely because of this that he bore the greatest pressure.
Here is the translation of the provided text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
If it weren't for the arrival of reinforcements from Dayuet and Daliang this time, the situation in Lu'an Prefecture would have been much more difficult.
Otherwise.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He didn't even have a chance to come back.
Less than half an hour.
Zhou Yuan just put down the sealed letter, his brow furrowed.
"Spirit of the mountains, when did the Great Qin dynasty have such a race appear"
“From the information in the secret letter, it appears that the appearance of the Shanling clan is related to the Yaoxie clan, and there must be a powerful figure behind the Shanling clan.
"
To be able to murder someone openly in front of a Grandmaster, such skill you likely can't even achieve, right
Dongfang Zhao nodded slightly, his expression becoming more solemn.
A leak in the roof coincides with a night of heavy rain.
Originally, he also planned that if the opportunity arose, he would temporarily cooperate with the Mountain Spirit clan.
But now it seems that is unlikely.
The Shanling clan ate humans, it had almost become an instinct.
With such an instinct.
Then, those two are destined to have no chance of cooperation.
>
Upon hearing this.
Zhou Yuan said solemnly, "According to the intelligence, the Grandmaster's strength is very strong. Only two Grandmasters who have shown their strength are not inferior to the top-ranking Wang Jie garrison commander."
The text you provided is already in English. It seems like there might be some confusion. Is there something else you'd like me to translate or help you with Let me know if you have any other questions!
To be honest, if it's someone like Shen Changqing I can't stop, then it's hard for me to stop anyone.
Although he faced adversity.
> But also clearly, what is fact.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
“You rarely hear you say such things.”
Dong Fang Zhao couldn't help but smile.
Zhou Yuan's arrogance was well-known, but the other party also had the capital to be arrogant.
Speaking of strength.
Although Zhou Yuan is not as strong as himself, he is not much weaker either.
That can be said.
Although the other party did not reach the esteemed level, within the ranks of the King-ranked garrison commanders, they were already considered top-tier.
Before Shen Changqing appeared.
The Eastern Court is well prepared.
If one were to meditate and attain enlightenment first, then the position of the Town Demon Bureau's headmaster would be temporarily held by the other party.
Zhou Yuan's expression remained calm: "It is what it is, and it isn't what it isn't. You know I never say empty words. When it comes to Shen Changqing, he has indeed been promoted to Great Master, and his strength seems formidable."
"Perhaps you should let go of the things that worry you.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
> "Unless something unexpected happens, it's considered temporarily resolved, right"
Dong Fang Zhao sighed.
Here is the translated text, keeping HTML tags intact:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Upon seeing this.
Zhou Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Could it be that you haven't told him yet, or did he refuse"
He neither said yes nor no. He must be considering whether to take on this responsibility.
About this, I can't force myself.
Here is the translation:
If he doesn't want to, I'll force him to take on the Demon Suppression Division. Eventually, he'll be thrown down as well. Let's just wait and see. For the next few years, I can still hold on!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Eastern Emperor's face held a hint of helplessness.
"Interesting."
Zhou Yuan's eyebrows shot up.
When he first heard that someone else had taken the position of power, he did not accept it immediately.
You need to know that.
The rights you can have in this position are not ordinary.
Sitting in this position.
Even the Emperor Qin, if he wanted to make a move against it, would have to think carefully about whether it would cause a violent upheaval.
It's best not to speak of this matter now. Let's wait a while and see. Then, we can find some talented seedlings who are loyal to humanity and send them to the Martial Pavilion for proper cultivation.
If a few more grand masters could appear, the current situation would be even more stable.
The Eastern Emperor changed the subject.
The greatest advantage of a Grandmaster over a Garrison Commander is that they have a long enough lifespan.
If the Qin Dynasty had several more Grand Masters guarding it, unless the demon race truly increased its attack intensity and dispatched several Demon Saints, it would be enough to guarantee the safety of the human race within the Qin Dynasty.
That brings us to the end of this.
He paused, then looked at Zhou Yuanzheng.
"As you can see from the confidential letter, we humans have already put a lot of effort into dealing with the demon race. If we add the mountain spirit race to the mix, there will be considerable trouble throughout the land."
In your opinion, what's the best way to resolve this
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Kill!"
Zhou Yuan's face turned cold, and his killing intent was palpable.
"Since the Spirit Clan wants to be enemies with my human clan, let's wipe them out completely. This is a good opportunity because they don't have much power right now. If we wait until the Spirit Clan grows stronger, then that will be a real problem."
The confidential letter given by Shen Changqing contained an estimate of the strength of the Shanling clan.
That's it.
He also knew exactly what state the Mountain Spirit Clan was in now.
At most.
At most, there is a batch equivalent to the spirit of the mountain guardian who transformed into human form.
Even if the other party truly hides even more powerful mountain spirits, at most they would be guarding around a marquis to a king.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Such strength.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Demon Suppression Office has completely dealt with it.
Only by thoroughly suppressing the Mountain Spirit Clan can we be free from worry.
"Indeed, the Shanling clan is a threat. They are not powerful now, so eradicating them would be appropriate, especially since the transformed Shanling lack sinister energy. If they were to infiltrate the human race, they would likely be difficult to distinguish."
If there were shape-shifting spirits taking advantage of the chaos, that would also be a considerable problem.
Oriental nodded his head, he fully agreed with Zhou Yuanzheng's decision.
Ahead of time, I didn't want to cause conflict with the Mountain Spirit Clan. Aside from wanting to cooperate, the biggest factor was my fear of the Mountain Spirit Clan's potentially powerful strength.
Now that it's clear the Mountain Spirits clan is weak, eliminating them won't be a problem.
Cooperation!
That is a term that can only appear in relation to entities of the same level.
As for the weak, there are only two choices.
Submit!
Destruction!
The Mountain Spirits would never submit, and the human race wouldn't need the allegiance of a foreign tribe, especially one that consumed humans as food and could tear up any agreement at any moment.
That's it.
When it comes to the Mountain Spirit Clan, the Demon Suppression Bureau has only one approach.
Wipe it out to prevent future troubles.
Then.
Oriental Decree pondered for a moment again: "The mysterious powerful person mentioned in the secret letter may not necessarily be within this world. The Demon Suppression Division had long suspected that there were other mysterious existences outside of heaven and earth."
The demonic clan originated from beyond the heavens.
The mysterious powerful being who caused the appearance of the mountain spirits is most likely from there.
He made the mountain spirits appear, who knows what other purpose he might have.
We destroyed the Shanling clan, just in time to dismantle their methods and avoid even worse consequences.
The East always approaches the unknown with caution, avoiding absolute trust towards something it doesn't understand.
The other party created the mountain spirit clan.
Maybe there was no other purpose, but he also wanted to think in the worst direction.
And.
The Shanling tribe eats humans, both as an innate instinct and possibly as an instinct bestowed by a powerful being.
> From the side, there's a very high chance they are also an enemy of humanity.
As for wiping out the mountain spirits, there is nothing to worry about as retaliation from them.
If the other party is not in this world, there must be some limitations preventing them from coming.
This is just like the demon clan, restricted by heaven and earth, unable to launch a large-scale attack.
It's a guess, but there's also a lot of evidence to support it.
That is it.
Since the Eastern Order did not have such great concerns,
If the day ever comes when the taboo truly disappears, it is not something he can control. All he can do now is purge the Qin realm of all threats to humanity.
The rest.
We'll have to wait until another day.
Then.
Dongfang Zhao looked at Zhou Yuanzheng and said, "Over in Nanyu Mansion, with Shen Changqing there, he wouldn't be able to make much of a splash among the Shanling Clan. But the other mansions... that's a different story entirely."
The most likely variables to occur right now are Luo'an Prefecture and Dahuang Prefecture.
"Do you want to return to Luan Prefecture, or go to Dahuang Prefecture and mobilize your forces to eradicate the Shanling clan"
Other government offices.
Although there are demons wreaking havoc, the local demon suppression agency is also not weak. If it's against the mountain spirit clan who aren't too strong now, it would be barely manageable.
> It's a considerable problem to have two warring factions.
One must deal with demons, enemy troops, and also take care of the mountain spirits.
Zhou Yuan shook his head: “I’ll still go to Luo'an Mansion. I’m more familiar with it. I originally wanted to come back here to rest for a while, but before I could even get comfortable, I have to go busy again.”
"I have some things to do, staying inside the Demon Suppression Division would be a waste of time."
>The Eastern Emperor smiled gently.
>
This is all.
Zhou Yuan scoffed.
I'm busy, too. I haven't seen you busy either.
Although the other party is supposed to stay in the capital, they can still...
However.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He just thought these words to himself, he didn't really say them out loud.
"If I go to the Luo'an Mansion, what about that side of the vast mansion Who do you plan to send to handle it"
“I’ll report this to the court. The Imperial Court has so many experts; it’s time for them to be put to use. It can't always be up to the Demonic Suppression Division to handle everything.”
"The imperial masters"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan's face showed a disdainful look.
“Those useless good-for-nothings they raised, what use could they possibly be Sending them to the Great Wilderness Estate is probably just sending them to their deaths.”
But that's alright. Let those good-for-nothings go to the Da Huang Prefecture. If they die in battle, we can save a few rations of food."
Upon hearing this.
The Eastern Emperor shook his head and smiled wryly.
He knew Zhou Yuan was very dissatisfied with the imperial court.
So.
At this time, as the other party was venting their anger, Dongfang Zhao didn't say anything.
Indeed.
In recent years, some of the government's actions have been somewhat inappropriate.
But the Eastern Emperor understood that many of those practices were designed by the First Emperor to pave the way for the imperial family. He was worried that after his death, the Demon Suppression Division would become too powerful and completely control all matters of government.
When Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he stood up.
"Alright, the Luo'an Manor is yours. I'm going to the palace to report this to His Majesty."ntipede Dynasty.>Many times, when it comes to doing things, he doesn't need to be afraid of anything. As for causing suspicion or something like that, it doesn't even exist.If there were even a hint o...
