Chapter 35 to 36: Breakthrough in Martial Arts
acked.Blood flows freely.As the Eastern Emperor's footsteps stepped forward, under the backdrop of black energy, he seemed like a demon god from the depths of the nine hells. His gaze upon the three d...Boom!
A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from the heart of the spirit vein, directly pouring into Shen Changqing's body.
That powerful aura was more surging and forceful than any he had ever felt before.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The core of a large spirit vein contains an amount of spiritual energy that is incomparable to any other spirit vein's core.
That aura.
Let its flesh tremble madly.
And then.
Shen Changqing then collected his mind and focused all his effort on controlling the spiritual energy, merging it with his own qi and blood. Afterwards, he began charging toward the next secret vault.
In the vast mountains, a magnificent palace stands there.
In the palace.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The strong gather..
In the very center, seated on the main seat, was a middle-aged man with an upright appearance and a solemn expression. He looked down at the many powerful figures below.
After a long time.
"Since the fall of the Divine King Renhuai, our Beiyue clan has been targeted by all sorts of races. Now, many of our affiliated forces have been attacked."
Although some resisted the onslaught, others were directly obliterated.
In a short time, my Bei Yue clan suffered heavy losses.
"Now——"
"My Bei Yue clan is surrounded on all sides, with most of the forces among the myriad races in the heavens believing that our Bei Yue clan is about to be destroyed. They are like vultures, lurking in the shadows, waiting for our Bei Yue clan to collapse completely so they can divide up our spoils."
At this moment, with you all stepping forward to help, the Bei Yue clan is deeply grateful.
"Therefore, in all subsequent battles, as long as my Beiyue clan is the main force, our clan will only take 30% of the spoils. For battles where we are not the main force, we will not take a single share. This can be considered a small token of goodwill from our clan."
Furthermore, all of your tribes being able to take action at this moment will make you allies of my Beiyue clan in the future. Whenever my Beiyue clan needs assistance anywhere, I assure you we will never decline.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's all I have to say.
A powerful expert chuckled lightly and said, "Divine King Ren Cang is being too serious. At this moment, all the heavenly races should be settling their disputes, but they insist on stirring up chaos. Even if we wanted to sit idly by, there's nothing we can do about it."
As the saying goes, "when the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold". Today they can unite to deal with the Beiyue clan, and one day they may turn their swords on our clan.
"Therefore, helping the Beiyue clan also had the consideration of benefiting ourselves."
Upon hearing this.
The strong individuals within the main hall all nodded slightly.
They came to help.
A large part of the reason is based on the principle that "when lips perish, teeth grow cold."
To put it simply.
There are hostile forces among the Beiyue clan's power.
Today these forces can unite to wipe out the Bei Yue clan. In the future, they may very well unite to wipe us out.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Thus, this will be the case.
These forces naturally couldn't stand idly by and watch the Bei Yue clan be wiped out.
Beiyue Rencang's expression remained calm: "According to my understanding, the main forces currently targeting the Beiyue clan are the six great clans of Kongsang, Fuli, Yu E, Zhushan, Qingyao, and Dushan."
As soon as the words were spoken.
Among the powerful figures present, many's expressions changed slightly, but there wasn't much upheaval.
>
Since the decision has been made to form an alliance with the other party, one wouldn't be unaware of the current situation of the Beiyue clan.
The Six Great Clans.
They were already aware of it.
It was only when the other party mentioned it again that my heart skipped a beat.
Then.
A woman in a plain white dress, as ethereal as an immortal, spoke softly: "Leave the matters of the Dushan clan to my Zhongshan clan. This is also a good opportunity for our Zhongshan clan to settle old scores with them."
Since the King of the Mi River has spoken, then the matter of the Shan Clan shall be handled by the Zhong Shan Clan!
Northern Mountain Ren Cang nodded.
>
He is also very clear about the feud between the Du Shan clan and the Zhong Shan clan.
Right now, the Zhongshan River is flowing normally. Nothing unusual.
With the strength of the Zhongshan clan, dealing with the Du Shan clan would be a good thing for Ren Cang from Beiyue.
Then.
He then turned his gaze to the strong warriors of other races.
The Six Great Clans.
The Dushan clan was taken over by the Zhongshan clan, but five other clans were still there.
Even with the current power of the Beiyue clan, they lack the capability to simultaneously contend with the five great clans.
Not long.
This is a paragraph.
Then the strong ones spoke up.
Two months' time.
Shen Changqing stayed inside the main hall and did not leave for half a step.
Over this period of time, he has dedicated himself to refining the Spirit Pulse Core. Under the onslaught of surging spiritual energy, one after another secret realms have been opened up.
When the last spiritual vein heart has been refined, one can exit their cultivation state.

"Heaven and Earth Profound Art has finally broken through to the third level!"
Looking at the information on the panel, Shen Changqing had a faint smile on his face.
Having refined all ten Heart of the Grand Spirit Veins, he managed to open up 20,000 hidden chambers within just two months.
Combining the original number of hidden treasures, the number of hidden treasures within it now has reached a total of 34,411.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Therefore.
One's own realm has officially stepped into the third level of the Heavenly Cave.
And.
It wasn't as simple as entering the Third Heaven, it went straight to the middle stage of the Third Heaven, nearly reaching the high stage.
"From the initial stage of the second heaven, to the mid-stage of the third heaven, it is more than just crossing a realm. However, the consumption of the celestial cave realm is much greater than I expected."
I thought that refining all the spiritual veins' cores would allow me to reach the fourth level of the Cave Heaven, but now it seems that to reach the fourth level of the Cave Heaven, I would need at least twenty large spiritual veins' cores.
Shen Changqing's smile on his face receded a few points.
The consumption of the Cave Heaven Realm had reduced his joy at breaking through by a lot.
>
There's no way.
Twenty large spiritual veins' cores, equivalent to twenty million divine crystals, if all of these divine realms were invested in the Divine Dao, it could allow one's own realm to advance from its current state of the fourth divine realm to the fifth divine realm with a 100% guarantee.
Even at the sixth level of the Divine Realm, there is a high probability.
You know.
Each realm, as you progress further, demands a greater expenditure of resources than the previous one.
Thus, in comparison.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At the same level of expenditure, in terms of martial arts, it only rose from the third level of the Cave Heaven to the fourth level. The gap was evident.
However—
When the hidden space had been opened to over 30,000 times, Shen Changqing could truly feel that his physical body had once again undergone a transformation.
If you say.
When one reaches the second level of the Heavenly Cave, attacks below the Divine Realm can break through physical defenses.
Now that I've advanced to the mid-stage of the Third Heaven, even a common Divine Realm early stage wouldn't be a threat to me.
>
unless.
He is just like Zhong Shanqiu before, at the peak of the initial stage of the divine realm. He could break through to the fourth level of the divine realm at any time, entering the middle stage. Only then would he pose a threat to himself.
"When I was at the second level of the Cave Heaven realm, my physical defense allowed me to be undefeated against anyone below the Divine Realm."
Now that I've advanced to the third level of the Heavenly Cave, I can have an absolute advantage over those at the second level of the Divine Realm and below.
>
Unless one is a powerful God Realm Stage Two cultivator, or possesses a formidable divine weapon as a God Realm Stage Two cultivator, it's absolutely impossible to break through the defenses on my physical body.
"Following this trend, if he continues to grow, I'm afraid that with just my physical body, I could rampage through the Divine Realm!"
This finding.
>
For Shen Changqing, this is considered good news.
Although the consumption of the Cave Heaven Realm is much greater than that of the Divine Realm, from the current point of view, the benefits obtained are also more than those of the Divine Realm.
Well-defended.
It's just one aspect of the physical body.
The transformation of the physical body is not only reflected in defense, but also in other aspects.
That can be said.
The Divine Realm leans toward soul growth, while the Celestial Realm's focus is on the fusion of soul and body, making it a form of comprehensive growth.
>
The process of comprehensive growth requires advancements in various aspects, and the speed will naturally be much slower.
Similarly.
Once a full promotion is successful, the benefits are even greater than those of the divine realm.
"As for my overall strength, although I am currently at the third level of the Cave Heaven realm, my true power surpasses that of the fourth-level divine source I'm currently borrowing. In this way, it can be considered a good trump card!"
Shen Changqing pondered silently.
"Compared to the myriad races of today's heavens, the Triple Heaven Realm is still too weak. It's impossible to improve solely by relying on spiritual energy. To have a chance to advance again within a period of time, one must obtain a massive amount of resources."
100,000 Divine Crystals.
Let oneself advance from the second level of Heavenly Cave to the third level.
Nowadays, the gap between the middle stage of the Heavenly Cave Realm (Third Layer) and the Fourth Layer is two levels.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
More to follow.
To be promoted to the fourth level of Donghtian, at least another 100,000 Shenjing would be needed.
That is to say, two more pieces of the One Source Sun Moon Divine Nation are needed to allow oneself to successfully ascend.
>
But the problem is.
>
The fragments of the Celestial Divine Kingdom are extremely rare items. They can only be obtained if a God King falls.
In an instant.
Shen Changqing fell into deep thought.
"Now I want to be promoted quickly, the only way is to get a lot of treasures similar to the Spirit Vein Core. And there are only two ways to obtain the Spirit Vein Core: either buy it through other channels, or dig it out yourself."
Mining the Spirit Heart of the Ancient Continent is currently impossible.
As for purchasing from other channels, there is no corresponding support of God Crystals.
"So right now, my first priority is to make money, to accumulate a large amount of divine crystals, and then I can use other channels to purchase the heart of the spirit vein."
“There are many ways to make money, but for me now, very few are actually applicable.”
"Having heard that the Zhuzong is currently preparing for war with other forces, perhaps I could leverage this situation and see if there are any benefits to be gained."
Clan War begins!
This is certainly no small matter.
If, under normal circumstances, there would be no fall of a God-king, then clan warfare could make it possible.
Of course.
Generally speaking.
Even in clan wars, it is rare for beings at the God King level to fall. Unless both sides are fighting with all their might, even God Kings could potentially perish.
However.
Even if there was no fall of the God King, it doesn't mean there were absolutely no benefits.
In Shen Changqing's view, he could still possibly take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits.
Before leaving the customs.
>
He took out a crystal from his storage ring.
This is what Yun Ying gave when leaving Yunteng Pavilion.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
To make money.
You need to know what is valuable.
As a well-known power in Wanlong City, the information Yunyan Pavilion provided might not be completely comprehensive, but it shouldn't be too far off.
Since Shen Changqing needed to refine the Spiritual Vein Heart first, he didn't have time to digest the contents of the crystal.
Until now.
Once the main things are taken care of, there's time to do other things.
Divine thoughts descend.
The crystal flickered, and the message within appeared in his mind.
After a long time.
Shen Changqing digested that message thoroughly.
“So, the most valuable thing on me isn’t the Empty Sash, but those two first-rank divine abilities—”
According to the price list at Yunyan Pavilion, the origin of a first-rank divine ability starts at 580,000 divine crystals. If it is a powerful first-rank divine ability, the price can even fluctuate upwards.
That is to say.
His two first-class divine abilities, if sold, would be worth at least one million god crystals.
After understanding this price, Shen Changqing was truly moved.
One million divine crystals.
It's reasonable to assume that I wouldn't directly jump to the fifth level of the Heavenly Cave.
But the problem is.
With two first-class divine powers missing, his own combat power plummeted significantly. It's as if he had handed over all his strongest trump cards.
And —
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing couldn't be sure, when throwing out those two first-rank divine skills, whether it was possible to let the powerful beings who secretly calculated themselves notice.
So after much deliberation, he decided to temporarily abandon this plan.
For safety's sake.
In the human world, Shen Changqing didn't intend to expose anything. He only planned to use the resources obtained after borrowing from Zhong Shan's hatred essence to improve his strength.
Immediately.
He again turned his attention to himself.
"A divine ability, from entry to mastery, requires 5,500 Divine Ability Points. I currently have enough Divine Ability Points to merge three first-rank Divine Abilities, and they are the kind that condense the source."
But currently, other spirit companions have not been discovered. It's unclear if the Divine Power value will have other uses in the future.
"If you simply exhaust your divine power for a few million Divine Crystals, it might not be a good thing after all."
"Besides—"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although Yunyan Pavilion has a good reputation, the saying "being renowned brings about its own troubles" is not without reason. If a first-grade divine ability were to be exposed, there might be some trouble.
Shen Changqing's brow furrowed.
When you lack strength, you need to consider everything carefully in your actions.
After all, he is not the real Zhong Shan Chou. The Zhong Shan clan behind him can only be considered a temporary shield.
If one were to truly expose their true nature, the Zhongshan clan would be the first to kill themselves.
In this case.
It's impossible for Shen Changqing not to be cautious.
However.
A first-grade divine ability that hasn't undergone three fusions, and a third-grade divine ability that has undergone two fusions is heavily discounted.
Strictly speaking.
The price of a Tier 3 divine ability is much lower than that of a Tier 1 divine ability.
If we only sold third-rank divine abilities, it wouldn't be worth it at all.
Besides supernatural powers.
The most valuable thing he possessed was his pursuit of the void.
Fifth rank Dao soldier.
>
The lowest is worth at least 200,000 divine crystals, and if it's a powerful fifth-rank Dao artifact, the price will increase further.
Although the Flying Shuttle is a supporting Dao soldier, its price is significantly lower than other fifth-grade Dao soldiers, but it can still sell for as much as 100,000 divine crystals.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's about it.
In the end, Shen Changqing found that he was not actually very poor.
If you sold everything, you could make at least a million or two million Shenjing.
These spirit crystals.
All of them were piled on top of the divine path. Not to mention making the divine realm complete, but entering the later stage of the divine realm is probably not a big problem.
If all his strength was piled onto martial arts, he would also be confident in entering the sixth level of the Cave Heaven realm. However, whether he could break through to the seventh level of the Cave Heaven realm would depend on the circumstances.
After much deliberation.
Shen Changqing finally made his decision.
"First, let's see about what happened with Zhuzong this time. Do I have a chance to get a share of the pie If it's confirmed that there's no opportunity, then I'll throw everything I can out of my hands and focus on raising my own level."
No assistive tools can be as important as improving one's own state of being.
If I could enter the sixth level of the Cave Heaven, with my current foundation, even a powerful cultivator in the late stage of the Divine Realm might not be able to threaten me.
That way, the problem of the demonic clan would be solved!
Leaving the human world allows one to discover the vastness of the outside world and the multitude of opportunities it presents.
Even with countless divine powers and celestial soldiers, one's cultivation level would not have been able to improve in the past.
But here.
Any treasure can be transformed into a resource for elevating one's own realm.
This is the only point.
That's enough.
Let out a long sigh.
Shen Changqing had risen for the first time in two months, opened the sealed palace doors, and walked out.
>Outside.
>After two months, there is still no change, as if everything remains the same.
Worth mentioning.
Since the Ancient Continent had no day and night, it also had no seasons.
>
The sun and moon hung high, seeming as though they would never set.
In Zhong Shanqiu's memory, it seemed that since the ancient continent's sun and moon first appeared, they had never fallen. They always existed there.
That's all.
The sun and moon are not something that ordinary people can reach.

Even in the realm of gods, there is no qualification to contact.
"Peak Master!"
As he was leaving the gate, Cui Fu was already there first thing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Anything"
Looking at the other person's face, Shen Changqing frowned slightly.
Upon hearing this.
Cui Fu said respectfully, “Yesterday a message came from the sect, stating that all peaks should prepare for war.”
"Are you saying that even direct disciples would be forced to participate in this battle"
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Shen Changqing's expression showed a hint of surprise.
Although he had prepared to go to war and try to profit from it, actively going there was completely different from being conscripted.
This indicates that the Zhúzhōng is still hesitant about this battle.
But if all the direct disciples are required to fight compulsorily, then it means this battle is not just talk, but a real one.
Cui Fu said: "According to the news, all the direct disciples are indeed going to participate in the war, but how exactly, I can't confirm too much at the moment. Originally, if the peak master hadn't come out today, I would have sent a message directly."
The Peak Master is currently out of seclusion. If you really want to know, it would be better to ask the elders or the Sect Leader. They are sure to have accurate information.
He's just a manager under Qiufeng. In the Chuizong, he's not at the bottom but not doing well either.
Some information from high-ranking officials is impossible to find out more about.
So after receiving the message, Cui Fu kept hesitating whether to directly send a message.
If you contact someone during a critical moment in their cultivation, you will undoubtedly anger them.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But if you don't send a message.
The sect blamed me, and I couldn't just sit back and take it.
Now that he's out, he seems relieved.
Please note that the context "
" indicates a paragraph break. Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
"Okay, I'll handle this. Besides this, are there any other issues with Choufeng for now"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing nodded.
He didn't expect Cui Fu to know much either, he would just have to ask the rest himself.
Here is the translation of your content:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Everything is as usual, Qiaofeng.”
"Hmm."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Greetings, Elder Xia. I am Zhong Shan Chou, your disciple."
In a large hall, Shen Changqing bowed his head and clasped his fists. Facing him was Zhong Shanxia.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!
I came to look for Zhongshan Xia simply to ask about the situation.
As for why he didn't look for Zhongshan Dongxuan, the reason was also very simple. Facing that Candle Sect Sect Master, he felt a lot of pressure.
Even with the source as a cover, it wouldn't be discovered by the other party.
But.
Shen Changqing still didn't want to play around in front of that person.
It's not about fearing ten thousand, but rather the one in ten thousand.
If the Divine King were to see through my disguise, there would be no way to escape.
In comparison.
Before the heat of Mount Zhongshan, it was much better.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And in his memory, this person seemed to have some connection with Zhong Shan's original father.
Saw the arrival of someone.
Zhong Shanxia's expression remained as indifferent as ever: "What brings you to me"
“As a disciple, I heard that the sect is going to war this time, and all core disciples will participate directly. However, I don't know the specifics, so I came here to ask for clarification. I hope the Elder can enlighten me.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Shen Changqing said in a serious tone.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Upon hearing this.
Zhong Shanxia wasn't surprised, and only calmly replied: "That's right. This battle will involve disciples of the inner circle, not just them. The Candle Sect, and even the entire Zhongshan clan, no one can remain uninvolved."
As for the force declaring war, it was the Dulushan clan.
Stop, Mountain Clan!
Shen Changqing's face changed slightly.
I've heard of this force.
The Dushan clan has always been at odds with the Zhongshan clan, but the latter is not weak. Therefore, although there have been frictions between the two clans, they have never declared open war on each other.
It goes without saying that an open declaration of war would cause a huge stir.
"As of now, the clan is in a state of preparation for war. You should patiently await orders within the clan. It won't be long before specific instructions are issued, and that will be when my Zhongshan clan officially engages in battle with the Dugushan clan."
Zhong Shanxia paused for a moment after saying this.
His gaze toward Shen Changqing seemed to flicker with a hint of emotion.
“You have a reputation as a prodigy within the Candle Sect, and your combat strength among those of the same realm is not weak. However, there’s something you need to understand: war isn't about sparring. It doesn't concern itself with balanced realms. Start preparing yourself early!”st at the inner city."Wu Gan whispered his report.Gu Xing nodded. "Well, let them have an audience with me in the Imperial Garden.""Yes!"After finishing his words, Wu Gan did not leave immediately.Whe...
