Chapters 63 to 64: Stepping Out of the Fog
ng force struck, causing Shen Changqing's forehead veins to bulge. He felt a splitting headache, as if his brain was about to explode.But.Please note that I only translated the content within the tags...After a long silence.
Shen Changqing finally shook his head: "Master's kindness, the disciple understands. However, a guardian can only protect me for a moment, not a lifetime."
It's better to rely on oneself than to depend on the hope of others or stronger individuals.
Upon hearing this.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan gave him a long, approving look.
"Very good, you are indeed the son of Zhongshan Ba Yue. Just this courage alone is no less than your father."
Since you don't need a protector, I won't arrange one for you.
Remember, a genius who grows up is the true genius. If they fall by the wayside halfway, there will be no meaning to it.
>
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance. The disciple understands!"
Shen Changqing bowed deeply.
Although I know these words are actually directed at Zhongshan, they also serve as a warning to myself.
Here is the translation:

He has always understood.
A fallen genius is not truly a genius.
Only by growing up can one truly be considered a genius.

Therefore.
This is a continuation of the previous response.
Shen Changqing has always been a low-key person, and if he could avoid exposing himself, he would.
In the void battlefield, becoming the target of everyone's attacks out of the blue was completely unexpected. The Heaven Gate Secret reacted in such a way, causing him to unwittingly comprehend all the Eyes of Time.
If you know.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
He may not necessarily go to comprehend this innate supernatural power.
All things considered.
Though the Eye of Time is powerful, it is merely a clan talent of the Zhongshen Clan.
Having lost the source of Zhongshan's hatred, it is highly likely that I will no longer be able to use the Eye of Time. In this case, what difference does it make whether I understand or not
At most, when wearing a breastplate, there is some increase in combat effectiveness.
However.
For such divine power, to make oneself the target of all races, there is no need at all.
Speaking of.
Shen Changqing was even more willing to keep a low profile.
>>>To steadily increase one's strength, and when the time comes to reveal it, be able to allow humanity to directly claim a place for itself among the heavens.
When it came down to it, he showed a hint of domineering behavior.
Any clan that stands tall among myriad races across the heavens, cannot possibly be devoid of any foundation.
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing's face was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Sect Leader!"
"Hmm."
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan nodded, his figure disappearing from where he stood.
When the other party left, Shen Changqing's tense nerves finally relaxed.
In the presence of this god king.
He also endured a lot of pressure.
Although Zhong Shan Dong Xuan never emitted any powerful aura from beginning to end, the pressure wasn't something that could be formed by simple aura alone. It was a feeling that naturally arises when the weak face the strong.
The content you provided is simply a closing paragraph tag:
There's nothing to translate.
Shen Changqing understood.
Even if one possesses the eyes of time, against such a high level of power, there remains an insurmountable chasm.
To aspire to, and even surpass, one must step into the realm of God King.
And moreover.
An ordinary god king wouldn't be qualified for this.
"It's a pity that I can't keep using Zhong Shan Chou's persona forever. Even if I understand the Eye of Time and even the later Age God's Eye, they don't really have much to do with me."
>
However, after acquiring the Eye of Time, I felt I had a few more tricks up my sleeve when dealing with the demon clan.
Shen Changqing thought of other aspects.
If it is said.
Originally, the demon clan had powerful demon gods. To deal with the demon clan, one would need to be almost as strong as a God King.
Then, perhaps with the eyes of time, one could solve the demon clan's issues at the realm of Godhood.
>
And.
Now, I have obtained a large amount of resources from the Void Battlefield.
If all these resources were poured into Shinto, it's quite possible that within the next ten to twenty years, someone could achieve the state of a god.
Even if one cannot reach the perfect state of the Divine Realm, reaching the higher stage of the Divine Realm is still possible.
Cooperate with the Eye of Time.
Shen Changqing is confident.
In the realm of the Divine, those who could stand against one another are few indeed.
Unless.
Even among the demon clan, there are those with divine abilities at the level of a god master.
In Zhong Shan Chou's memories, the demonic tribe wasn't particularly powerful. Whether they could possess divine king-level divine abilities was still unknown. As for divine master-level divine abilities, that was simply impossible.
But—
The protective formation of the main hall was indeed too low level. A god king could come and go as he pleased without any reaction whatsoever, let alone any defensive effect.
"Cultivation in the future will probably be somewhat inconvenient."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing frowned.
Although, under normal circumstances, a Divine King wouldn't come, the protective formation was always a concern.
>
It's a pity.
To establish a powerful defensive formation, one must rely on their own capabilities to solve it.
Just like all the formations on Mount Cho, they were all set up by the Candle Sect. The direct disciples didn't have to pay for them, but they followed a unified standard. If they wanted to upgrade the formations or replace them with more powerful ones, that was the responsibility of the direct disciples themselves.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
These expenses are definitely not going to be small.
However.
If you want to cultivate in the Zhu Zong, array formations are definitely something that needs to be resolved.
No matter what.
>
It's all for the sake of being cautious.
Next.
Shen Changqing didn't think too much for the moment, grasping the Void Beast Core and absorbing the power within it.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan had left.
There's no possibility of coming back in the short term.
These days, I can cultivate with peace of mind.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
During the reign of the Candle Sect, many gods would frequently travel to various void battlefields for combat. There were also instances where gods returned from the void battlefields with injuries.
But these things.
As for Shen Changqing, there was no effect at all.
The past two months.
He stayed inside the main hall, hardly taking a step.

After refining the last Spirit Vein Heart, Shen Changqing's mind first sank into the panel, then retreated.
"The profound celestial power of the four stages is abundant, and to advance to the fifth stage, it requires a significant amount of energy. However, being able to break through to this level now is still quite remarkable."
Looking back at the content on the panel and comparing it to himself, he was fairly satisfied.
Hidden areas are being opened.
It has directly broken through from the original thirty thousand to forty-seven thousand.
... and its own realm.
Also, he broke through from the middle stage of the Third Heaven to the middle stage of the Fourth Heaven.
It's just a leap across a major realm.
Realm breakthrough.
The benefits it brings are also obvious.
First is the physical aspect. Simply speaking, those below the fourth level of the Divine Realm pose no threat to themselves.
However.
This also has a prerequisite.
That refers to the general realm of the Divine Realm Fourth Level and below, as well as those who do not possess a powerful Dao Artifact in their hands.
Otherwise.
It's rather difficult to remain undefeated.
"But speaking of overall strength, with my foundation at the fourth level of the Cave Heaven Realm, dealing with cultivators at the sixth or seventh level of the God Realm shouldn't be a problem."
But if it were against a Divine Realm cultivator with god-tier talents, then things would be different!
Shen Changqing thought of the Eye of Time.
To be honest.
For this innate divine ability, if it were used by other cultivators, he would find it extremely difficult to resist.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The methods involving time are profound beyond imagination.
By comparison.
Here is the translation of the content within the " >" tags, excluding HTML tags:Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although he opened up his own secret storehouse, he was unable to grasp the corresponding human race's innate divine abilities. Although his foundation was strong, he couldn't exert a sudden explosive effect like those cultivators who possessed powerful innate divine abilities at critical moments.
Immediately.
Shen Changqing thought of other aspects again.
As for innate abilities, my Heavenly Gate Secret should be considered a type of innate ability in some aspects. The Heavenly Gate Secret can see through the flaws of illusory images of divine realms, but I don't know if it can pierce through the true flaws of a divine realm.
If one can see through the flaws of the true divine kingdom, then the effect of the Heaven Gate Secret would be quite significant.
God's Kingdom!
... is the true foundation of the God King.
If one can see through the flaws of the Divine Kingdom, then it means that in the future when confronting the God King, they will have a significant advantage.
This kind of measure.
It's not some divine king-level talent or supernatural power that could even compare.
Moreover.
Please provide me with the text you want to translate.
The Heavenly Gate's secret allowing one to manipulate time could possibly have an effect on the innate abilities of other races, but exactly how remains uncertain for Shen Changqing.
Last but not least.
Tiānmén's secret ability to see through the flaws of a divine nation might also allow it to see through the flaws of other methods, such as divine talents and supernatural powers.
These matters.
He could only speculate at this point, after all, the Heavenly Gate secret couldn't truly be activated. If it were, Zhong Shanqiu’s origin would be completely exposed.
As for the source, I killed quite a few God Realm cultivators from the Dushan Clan on the Void Battlefield, but now I've only obtained one portion of it.
Thus, the origin of a race can only be preserved in one copy.
As fellow seventh-tier Divine Realm, this Origin should be the strongest among all seventh-tier Divine Realms, right!
Shen Changqing pondered inwardly.
He now has two copies of the original source, one from the Qilin Clan and one from the Dushan Clan.
>
No matter what source, the clan cultivators who were killed first by their own kin were not at this level of cultivation, but several levels lower.
Just keeping this level of the origin is enough to illustrate the problem.
The origin of the Qilin clan.
In Shen Changqing's view, it didn't have much use.
After all, it's only the source of a fourth-tier divine realm. In terms of strength, there is no difference from the current source used by oneself.
Moreover.
>
The Qilin Clan, in terms of status and strength, are far inferior to the Zhongshan Clan.
To abandon the identity of being a member of the Candle Sect's lineage and pretend to be a powerful figure from the Kui Niu clan, that is just plain gluttony.
In comparison.
The origin of the Dushan clan does have some use, but it's not very significant.
The Seventh Heaven of the Divine Realm!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In short.
Once one uses this source, they can instantly transform from a Fourth-Rank Divine Realm expert to a Seventh-Rank Divine Realm powerhouse.
The problem is.
If the origin of the Dushan clan is used, then the innate supernatural powers of the Zhongshan clan are very likely to disappear directly.
To have lost the eyes of time in exchange for the power of the seventh level of the divine realm is to prioritize the superficial over the essential.
He can slay a God Realm Seventh Layer expert.
As already stated, having the Eye of Time, one's realm is still at the fourth level of the Divine Realm, but their strength surpasses that of an ordinary seventh-level Divine Realm cultivator by a significant margin.
"The two origins, for now, haven't had much effect."
Shen Changqing shook his head slightly.
If the source power contained within a panel could be extracted, perhaps one or two divine techniques could be found within it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But now.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
There's nothing else we can do but wait.
Get up.
Passage cleared.
The palace gates, which had been closed for two months, were finally opened.
The glaring sunlight streamed in, but it couldn't change Shen Changqing's expression at all.
Looking around.
There were no handyman disciples in front of the hall, apparently all cultivating elsewhere. Even Cui Fu wasn't here.
As for this.
He wasn't strange either.
Although Cui Fu is in charge of Qiu Feng's affairs, he couldn't possibly stay outside guarding him the whole time while he was in seclusion. As a disciple of Zhu Chong, he also needs to cultivate.
realm.
This is the root of everything.
Having taken a brief glance at his surroundings, Shen Changqing turned and left Chou Feng, heading towards the Department of Internal Affairs.
>
The Chuzong Mountains are very large.
>
Without divine intervention, it would take a considerable amount of time to traverse the entire Zhuzong Mountains.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
To soar through the heavens.
This tag is a closing paragraph tag.It is used to end a paragraph of text on a webpage.
Before long, Shen Changqing arrived inside the Department of Internal Affairs.
It is said to be a hall, but in reality, it is a large temple complex. Inside the temple, many attendants are stationed to help with the affairs of other disciples besides their own.
At the same time.
At the front, there are also tasks hanging, allowing other disciples to take them and receive corresponding rewards.
At this time, there were also many disciples in the inner hall exchanging things.
Although the battle with the Gedushan clan has temporarily ended, other void battlefields are still active. Anyone who enters a void battlefield can still earn military merit.
So.
Almost every period of time, disciples will return from the Void Battlefield and come here to exchange their military merits.
On seeing the arrival of someone.
Many disciples' expressions changed, and then they bowed their heads in greeting: "Greetings, Senior Brother Qiu!"
"Hmm."
Chen Changqing nodded lightly and hummed in response.
Seeing this.
The other disciples did not reveal anything either.
Just looking at Shen Changqing's back, there was a hint of admiration in his expression.
Last time in the Void Battlefield, this fellow Senior Brother Chou was truly impressive.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although he doesn't have as illustrious a record as Zhong Shanxia, who killed a demigod king, or Mi Shui Shenwang, who killed the Sun and Moon God King.
>
But.
The opponent, with the cultivation of a fourth-tier Divine Realm, had killed several seventh-tier Divine Realm experts, which was quite eye-catching.
Especially, he had a realization about the legendary Eye of Time.
For many disciples.
Time's eye, is simply something utterly unfamiliar.
But.
Capable of provoking the Divine King to take action personally, it clearly wasn't an ordinary thing.
And.
The fact that they could survive a direct attack from the Divine King was even more awe-inspiring to these disciples.
In the myriad heavens and ten thousand races, strength is paramount.
Although Shen Changqing's realm wasn't particularly powerful, he was able to defeat a Divine Sovereign at the seventh level while only being at the fourth level himself. He also managed to survive an encounter with a Divine King, which in some aspects, made him a formidable figure as well.
Please note that the "" characters in your input are HTML tags, not part of the text content. I have left them unchanged in the output.
These disciples wouldn't care, the other party was alive because a Divine King had also intervened to help.
There are some things.
There's no need to overthink things.
As for the thoughts of other disciples, Shen Changqing didn't pay much attention. He went straight to an attendant.
"I am Zhong Shanchou, and I would like to understand the process for exchanging battle achievements, as well as what can be exchanged specifically."
He has some battle achievements, and his goal is to exchange them all for divine crystals.
But.
Shen Changqing still wanted to see first, what exactly could be exchanged in the Department of Internal Affairs.
On hearing this.
The attendant's face turned serious as he pulled out a crystal stone: "It seems to be a familial feud transmission. All the items that can be exchanged for this battle function are inside. You can check the familial feud transmission yourself."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
As for the exchange process, it's also simple. Just have the corresponding military merit, and I can directly help you complete it here.
Thank you.
Shen Changqing nodded, then picked up the crystal stone and infused it with his divine sense.
Suddenly.
Then a massive amount of information surged out from within, flooding into his mind.
Crystal of the Gods: A single feat of valor!
Eight Desolations Annihilation Hand: Six Points of Military Merit!
Blood Essence: Ten battle merits!
Enter the Reincarnation Pool chance: 100 military merits!
A vast quantity of exchangeable items, along with their corresponding military achievements, were all under his complete control in the blink of an eye.
I have to say.
The Zhu Zong is indeed a large and prosperous family, with countless items available for exchange at the inner household department.
Among.
As for the Divine Crystals, let's not mention those. Regarding divine abilities, there are quite a few that can be exchanged as well. Even first-grade divine abilities exist on the exchange list.
However, it's worth noting that the price of divine artifacts you can exchange here is not cheap.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
One Divine Ability.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It has already risen to the level of 100,000 military exploits.
...and this.
It's not the divine source itself, just a memory of a divine skill. The true path to mastery still requires time and personal cultivation.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In comparison.
A single copy of the Divine Skill Sourcebook would only sell for a few hundred thousand divine crystals even in the Cloudy Smoke Pavilion.
Of course.
Price is price, and there are cases where something has a price but no market.
Shen Changqing had no interest in exchanging for a first-grade divine ability, because he didn't lack divine abilities himself.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
More abilities are not always better.
What suits you best is the best.
Besides divine powers, treasures like those that purify bloodlines and artifacts that eradicate impurities of faith also possess such attributes.
Just like the last time, when I received a Purestone, it is now presented here.
However.
The exchange price is also quite high.
Fifty thousand military exploits!
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
A piece of pure stone can refine only a small amount of faith power, compared to it, the 50,000 divine crystals give much more faith power than a pure stone.
Even so.
To Jinshi is also as high as 50,000 battle achievements, and it comes with a limit on the number of times it can be exchanged.
If other disciples exchange it first, and there are subsequent military merits, there is no way to obtain the pure stone.
The high price of Jing stone.
Chen Changqing could understand.
Please note that I can only translate the text within the > tags. I cannot directly interact with or modify HTML code.
Refining a large quantity of divine crystals can easily cause instability in one's realm, leading to the emergence of heart demons. However, using pure stones to remove impurities of belief before absorbing them eliminates this concern.
The reason is.
>
Shénjīng ultimately is the faith refined by other divine realms, unlike its own faith.
Please note that the `
` tag is preserved because it's HTML and not part of the text content you requested to be translated. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
So.
That's why the price of a pure stone is so expensive.
However.
This doesn't mean that having the purest stone allows you to improve without any reservations.
The function of the Purifying Stone is not to conjure faith power out of thin air, but rather to take existing, unrefined faith and remove all impurities, then provide it for cultivators to refine.
Even the belief in race has its limits.
The last time he used the purification stone, he completely refined all the faith that the Qingfeng clan had accumulated in their sea of consciousness over the years but hadn't gotten around to refining.
That's precisely why he broke through directly to the fourth level of the Divine Realm.
Now.
Although he has gained the faith of eight out of ten members of the Praying Mantis Clan, which is more than double that of before.
The time gained for faith was ultimately too short, and the amount of faith power stored in his mind sea was not much. Even if all of it was refined at once, there wasn't a high chance of him being able to promote himself.
It was just a moment.
Then Shen Changqing gave up the idea of exchanging it for Jing Stone.
Though the treasure is good.
But for itself now, it doesn't have much of an effect.
Apart from the pure stone.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
There are still many battle formations in the exchange list.
...like gathering spirit arrays that gather qi, and induction-based induction array methods, as well as various attack and defense array methods, he was completely opened his eyes.
Speaking of formations.
There are also quite a few within the Demon Suppression Division.
But compared to the formations in Zhúzōng, it's like comparing a firefly to the sun. The two are simply worlds apart.
The array of the Candle Sect.
It's not just about involving the divine realm; even formations at the level of a God King exist.
But.
The formation of a divine king level is also expensive and powerful.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even the most primordial Heavenly Deity-level formations require 500,000 battle merits.
If it's an attack or defense formation, you also need to double the original base.
"If I could exchange for a divine king-level formation, wouldn't that be equivalent to having the combat power of a divine king Even if it wasn't like a true divine king, at least within the realm of formations, to a certain extent, it wouldn't be weaker than a divine king, right"
Shen Changqing's first thought was to use the power of formations to solve the problem of the demon clan.
In the past, he always focused on himself.
I believe that the only way to deal with the demon clan is to improve our own strength.
...up to now.
Then Shen Changqing suddenly reacted.
Strength is certainly important.
But among the countless races of the heavens, possessing an infinite number of means, if one truly wants to eradicate a race, it's not necessarily required to have matching strength. If they were to borrow external forces, it wouldn't be impossible either.
...even.
Directly using divine crystals to hire strong warriors is also possible.
If humans were not so sensitive among the myriad races in the heavens, they would simply hire powerful beings with divine crystals to wipe out the demon race.
Break out of past misconceptions.
When Shen Changqing looked at the problem of the demon clan again, he had a clear understanding.
"In the face of countless races across the heavens, the issue of the demon race is not that serious. Moreover, eliminating the demon race is only the first step."
Thoughts got here.
His gaze fell upon the attendant standing before him.
