Chapter 167-168: Return

to kill them, go ahead!"Ji Tianlu ultimately still did not stop him.To slay demons, he too yearns for it.I'm just staying put in Po Shan City, unable to move, so I can only watch those demons and mon...Inside the city of Pushan.

Shen Changqing has been much more at ease lately.

By slaying several demons, he reaped great rewards.

Improvement in terms of realm.

Although there is a panel to assist, some places still require you to go through the hardship of familiarizing yourself.

Within a few days.

Shen Changqing stayed in his own courtyard, contemplating and refining his martial arts.

The Seven Stars Walking in the Void has already reached great accomplishment.

後麵的。

Then there's only the Red Sun Palm left.

At this point, he suddenly had some different thoughts about the divine power value.

“It's easy to achieve mastery in martial arts, as long as you invest the time, it won't be difficult to reach that level. However, the difficulty lies in going from mastery to truly understanding its essence.”

This involves more than just a matter of time, there's also an insight.

If I can keep the divine power and use it at the most critical moment, then I might be able to directly comprehend its true meaning!

Shen Changqing's eyes flickered.

He didn't place much importance on divine power values before.

Attacking martial arts is merely an auxiliary means.

The true foundation lies within the martial artist themselves.

Just like now, my strength has improved, and there are no major issues with martial arts skills.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Five-layered martial arts.

The first four layers are easy to grasp, it just takes some time.

Compared to directly improving internal and external skills through killing value, the divine power value feels a bit lackluster.

...until now.

Then Shen Changqing suddenly reacted.

The divine power value is low, it's very possible that I haven't figured out how to use it properly.

In other words.

If the divine power value is consumed at the level of ordinary martial arts, it naturally won't have much effect. But if it's used in the last layer of understanding the true meaning, then the divine power value will be very useful.

Since breaking through to the Grandmaster level and cultivating a soul.

He really wants to know.

If a person comprehends many truths, what kind of changes will occur

There is a bit.

Shen Changqing is definitely reliable.

That means that when you have grasped many truths, it will not negatively affect yourself.

In the small courtyard.

A scorching breath swept over, an oppressive weight like the sun itself, causing even Tian Kui to lie flat on the ground, unable to move.

Solar God Palm!

After this martial art was fused together, it became the highest ranked among all of Shen Changqing's martial arts.

It's just.

Although his rank is high.

But before the Grandmaster, it was only passable.

It took several days.

He successfully broke through the Third Layer of the Chi Yang Divine Palm to reach the Fourth Layer.

Therefore.

The panel only has two martial arts, both of which have reached a state of great mastery.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Go up further.

>

This is the stage of understanding true meaning.

After reaching this point, Shen Changqing officially stopped and no longer spent time cultivating the Chiyang Divine Palm and Qixing Tread-Empty Steps.

Understanding the true meaning is difficult.

In ten days and a half month, there won't be any major harvest.

Rather than wasting time continuing to practice hard, it's better to do something else.

Squeezing out a drop of blood, then dissolving it in water, solved Tian Kui's meals for the next few days. Afterwards, Shen Changqing began to deal with some serious matters.

Don't think that just because you're temporarily in charge of the Demon Suppression Division, you can act like a hands-off manager.

However, that is not the case.

Within the jurisdiction of PoShan City, any major or minor events must be reported to TianCha Wei for unified consolidation before being delivered to Shen Changqing.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Next.

Let him make the decision.

"Elder Shen, since the demonic forces suffered a crushing defeat in Po Shan City, the situation with demons within my jurisdiction has eased considerably. "

Many sects that used to remain aloof are now voluntarily stepping forward to help the Demon Suppression Division purge evil spirits.

Xing Yi's manner remained as respectful as ever.

The more he understood the strength of those before him, the less he dared to act recklessly.

"Assisting the Demon Suppression Division in purging demons"

Shen Changqing smiled.

If you ignore the problem at first, it will be too late to fix it later.

The world ends here.

Is there anything that comes easy

However, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Have there been any news from the capital recently"

"Temporarily unavailable."

Xing Yi shook her head, then continued to speak.

But the message has been sent a long time ago, I believe the capital city has also made a response. In a few days, the news should arrive, right

"Um."

Here's the translation:

Shen Changqing nodded, then closed the document in his hand and returned it.

"Don't worry too much about the affairs of each sect for now. If they want to help, let them; if not, that's fine. Keep the original records for now, and we can deal with the rest later."

"I understand."

>

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Xing Yi secretly admired him in his heart.

He knew.

This Elder Shen, is he planning to settle accounts after the fall

That's it.

Xíng Yì's heart had no opposition.

When demons ran rampant, the Demon Suppression Division personally requested their help, but one by one they all shied away.

Now that they have realized the formidable strength of the Demon Suppression Division, one by one, fear arises in their hearts, and they subsequently lend a helping hand.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

This is a kind of wall plant.

In his view.

If it can be completely removed, then it's a good thing.

But these things can only be thought about temporarily. To really remove them all, it wouldn't be that easy.

After Xing Yi's retirement.

Shen Changqing didn't think too much about it either.

Looking at the two martial arts on the panel, he instead felt something else in his heart.

"Speaking of—"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“With my current strength, the Red Sun Divine Palm and the Seven Stars Sky-Treading Step are both a bit underwhelming, don't you think Maybe we should fuse them together again and see what happens”

>

Since integrating two martial arts, I haven't focused on integrating any offensive styles for a long time.

Whether it was during the previous Grandmaster realm, or now in the current Grandmaster level.

Shen Changqing's martial arts, coming and going, were always just a few.

To be honest.

The martial arts of the panel are indeed powerful.

But from the perspective of a grandmaster, it's still lacking something.

Immediately.

He then looked in the direction of the library.

The Scripture Pavilion within the Demon Suppression Division itself was a fairly tall building. Even from a distance, you could make out its outline.

Last time.

The library was destroyed by a bolt of lightning.

The Demon Suppression Office's efficiency is astonishing.

It only took him less than half a month to rebuild the library, and it was even bigger and more imposing than the original one.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Make a decision.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing walked straight out of the courtyard and towards the library.

The gatekeeper.

He is still that familiar old man.

Upon seeing Shen Changqing, the man hurriedly got up from his seat and bowed his head: "Elder Shen!"

"No need for formalities."

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Shen Changqing said a sentence, simply displayed his identity token, and just entered inside.

A five-story bookcase.

The martial arts of the fifth layer masters have been completely destroyed and haven't had time to be backed up yet.

So.

Only the first four levels actually exist in martial arts.

He went straight to the fourth level and then searched for a few suitable martial arts within it.

Half an hour.

Then Shen Changqing walked out of the library.

This is the end of a paragraph.

Above the panel.

Now I have learned several martial arts.

Heavenly Sword Pointing Technique (Uninitiated, can be merged)

Broken Mountain Fist Strength (Beginner, can be fused)

Moonlit Walk (Not yet entered, can be integrated)

Drunken Immortal Steps (Not yet entered, can be integrated)

Four martial arts.

Two styles of fist and palm martial arts, two styles of footwork.

Just like the initial Great Sun Golden Body, because the Heavenly Gang Sword Finger Technique and Shattering Mountain Fist's ranks are too low, they cannot merge with the Blazing Sun Palm.

In this case.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Two martial arts styles, need to be first fused together once, then can be fused again a second time.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Seven Star Stepping Empty Steps.

The same goes for this.

Back in the room, Shen Changqing calmed his mind.

Name: Shen ChangqingPower: Great Qin Demon Suppression DivisionIdentity: Elder of the Martial PavilionRealm: GrandmasterGod Soul: God Soul (Rank 2)

Physical Body: Shenxiao Golden Body (Sixth Grade)

Martial Arts: Chi Yang Divine Palm (Fourth Layer), Seven Star Empty Step (Fourth Layer), Heavenly Gang Sword Finger Technique (Not entered, can be fused), Breaking Mountain Fist Strength (Not entered, can be fused), Gazing at the Moon Step (Not entered, can be fused), Drunken Immortal Step (Not entered, can be fused)

Slaughter: 263

Abilities: 0

"Detected that 'Tiangan Sword Finger Technique' and 'Breaking Mountain Fist Strength' have the same attributes. Fusion consumes ten points of Killing Value!"

"Merge!"

Shen Changqing didn't hesitate and directly chose to merge.

Ten points of killing value, for him now, is basically negligible. The consumption is almost the same whether it exists or not.

Very soon.

A wave of memory just surged into my mind.

After giving birth to his soul, his spiritual power had grown to a terrifying degree.

That wave of memory failed to cause any ripples in his consciousness.

Effortlessly.

Shen Changqing had digested the memory.

When looking at the panel again, two martial arts disappeared, replaced by a brand new one.

Po Yue Zhi Jin (Not yet mastered, can be integrated)

"Detected that 'Chi Yang Divine Palm' and 'Po Yue Finger Strength' have the same attributes. Fusion consumes fifty points of killing value!"

"Fusion!"

Shen Changqing once again made a choice.

Compared to the previous memory shock, this one is much stronger.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Less than a quarter of an hour.

Memory shock mitigation.

After he had fully digested all his memories, a smile played at the corner of his mouth.

Solar Yang Breaking Heaven Finger (Second Layer)

"Divine Yang Collapsing Heaven Finger!"

Looking at the names above, not to mention anything else, just from the names themselves, Shen Changqing felt that they were very good.

Compared to the Chi Yang Divine Palm.

The Divine Sun Shattering Heaven Finger is about pushing the yang attribute of the Crimson Sun Palm to a higher level.

The Crimson attribute has also undergone further evolution.

Among.

The two characters "Shen Yang" already explain a lot.

At the same time.

This martial art also incorporates the powerful destructive force of the Broken Mountain Finger. Although it's impossible to truly achieve the feat of shattering the heavens with a single finger, its power is still unparalleled.

"The 'Celestial Yang Disrupting Finger' should be considered a martial art that surpasses the Grandmaster realm. In terms of power, it can definitely rank among the ranks of Great Masters."

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Shen Changqing was very pleased with this.

In addition.

Panel fusion also has one biggest advantage.

That's the martial art consumed by fusion. Although it disappeared from the panel, the memory of it still exists.

Whether it is the great accomplishment of the Chiyang God Palm.

Even things like the later techniques of Heavenly Gang Sword Finger, which I haven't mastered yet, are deeply imprinted in my mind.

It took some time again.

Shen Changqing successfully performed the Seven Star Void Steps and had completely integrated it.

Immortal Steps (Second Floor)

There's nothing particularly outstanding about the name.

But.

Only after he truly absorbed the memories of the Ascending Immortal Steps did he understand that this martial art was equally profound and unfathomable.

The Step of Ascending to Immortality.

It can be said that, based on the Qixing Tread Air Step, it has been further transformed and perfected.

Even at just the second level, one can achieve the ability to soar through the air effortlessly.

And.

The Ascending Immortal Steps were ethereal and otherworldly, like a celestial being descending to the mortal realm. After reaching mastery, they surpassed the Seven Star Sky-Stepping technique in both speed and agility, excelling in every aspect.

Then, I looked back at the panel.

The kill count up there is now just over a hundred.

Integrating martial arts.

A total of one hundred and twenty points were consumed.

At this moment, Shen Changqing's heart was filled with a new thought.

After reaching the Grandmaster level, the strength of one's physical body must be matched by the strength of their soul. Otherwise, the soul will not be able to control the body, leading to a loss of control and a significant weakening of one's power.

Right now, the Divine Thunder Golden Body is at the sixth stage. It's considered the limit that a second-rank divine soul can control.

Even if we obtain the killing value, it cannot temporarily enhance the Shenxiao Golden Body. In that case, it's better to use it all to fuse offensive martial arts.

In times past.

All of his killing points are mainly used to supply external skills and internal skills.

>Only when it's absolutely out of options will I reluctantly try to blend in with others.

The current situation.

It's about the same as before.

Since the physical body can't be upgraded at this time, the remaining kill points can only be used to merge martial arts.

Besides this.

There is one more crucial factor.

That is it.

The consumption of martial arts fusion is relatively small compared to Shen Changqing's current situation.

That is so.

It's better to use the smallest cost to achieve the greatest improvement in one's abilities.

Here is the English translation of the provided text, preserving the HTML tags:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

If the martial arts of a Grandmaster are already this powerful, then what if they continue to fuse and surpass even that level Then the power of martial arts would surely become even more terrifying.

Although it is said.

The most important thing is the warrior's own cultivation.

But.

The same strength, one possesses powerful offensive martial arts, the other only has relatively weak offensive martial arts.

Of course, the victor is always the former party.

> But.

“Now there are only over a hundred points of killing value left. Even if I want to merge, there is no possibility. Let's just raise the Shenyang Bengtian Finger to the next level.”

"We'll need to fuse it later, but I'll need more kill points first."

Shen Changqing mused to himself.

The consumption of fusion can be calculated.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

To fuse a martial art of the same level as the Divine Yang Sky Piercing Finger, you would need to consume two martial arts of the Chiyang Palm level and then four martial arts of the Tiangang Sword Technique level.

In terms of

Just inside here, it would already be one hundred and twenty killing points.

The kill count on the panel now sits at a mere 143.

After being completely consumed.

>

There is no more strength to support further integration.

Of course.

Shen Changqing is not in a hurry now.

As for the kill count, you'll get a new one soon enough.

Xun Qu has been away from Poshan City for quite some time, and counting the journey's changes, the other party should be about to return.

What he needs to do.

It's just about waiting silently.

>

> I left the room.

Shen Changqing arrived outside the courtyard. According to the memory in his mind, he mobilized the power within his body and directly performed the Divine Yang Shattering Heaven Finger.

Suddenly.

A terrifying aura rose from him.

Next.

Then he saw its two fingers merge, and one finger pointed forward.

Here's the translation: ***

*** Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Magnificent and awe-inspiring, as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth shattering.

The golden finger of energy descended like the sun, the surrounding temperature rising sharply. By the time the finger landed, the entire Demon Suppression Division seemed to tremble slightly.

The fluctuation has subsided.

When Shen Changqing looked ahead, there was already a bottomless pit on the ground.

The surrounding land was also a scorched black, as if burned.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Burning breath, emanated from there.

"The destructive power is definitely strong!"

This is the translation of your content, excluding HTML tags:

Please note that I cannot automatically translate any text within the HTML tags. Let me know if you'd like to translate specific text snippets outside of the HTML tags.

Seeing the destructive power of the Divine Yang Shattering Heaven Finger, he nodded in satisfaction.

Don't look at the ground, it's just an extra hole, there is no large-scale damage.

Here's the English translation of your provided text:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In fact.

This martial art simply condenses all its power into a single finger force, its destructive area may be smaller than other martial arts, but in terms of pure attack power, it is unmatched by any other martial art.

Even if it's the perfected Crimson Sun Palm.

As for attacking power, they are far inferior to the Sun-Yang Breaking Heaven Finger.

“After some time, once again fusing the Heavenly Splitting Finger with Yin and Yang, the power of martial arts will become even stronger!”

Shen Changqing retracted his palm.

There's no rush now, things will come one step at a time.

He originally felt very anxious because his own strength was too weak, and there were many existences in the world that could threaten his life safety.

Things are different now.

Although it's uncertain if I can rival a Great Demon, it wouldn't be easy for a Great Demon-level demon to kill me.

The only thing Shen Changqing was wary of.

There's only the rumored Demon Saint.

But.

The demon saint said that he had only heard about it in the Sealing Demon Tower, and even the remnant of the demon saint had never truly seen it with his own eyes.

Therefore.

His current strength, it's not that he's invincible in the world, but to say his life is worry-free, it's almost the same.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The rest of the story.

Although there is still room for improvement, it's not as urgent as before.

"The words of the demon from Luoyang City last time need to be asked in detail. While Ji Tianlu hasn't gotten anything, it's possible that Dongfang Zhao knows more about it."

Shen Changqing thought of the demons in Luoyang City.

After returning to Broken Mountain City, he also had a word or two with Ji Tianlu.

It's a pity.

I didn't get any useful information.

However, Shen Changqing could be certain that if the demon was telling the truth, the Demon Suppression Division would definitely receive some information.

After all.

The Demon Suppression Division, no matter what they say, has been dealing with the demon clan for hundreds of years.

Even if the demon clan truly has some hidden secrets, the Demon Suppression Division will get clues.

However, he is currently unable to return to the capital city, so he has temporarily put this matter aside.

The next few days.

Shen Changqing has not made any major moves, he just quietly cultivated the divine yang shattering heaven finger that he had fused out.

Although martial arts will continue to be integrated again in the future.

His long years of experience had taught him.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The higher the level of martial arts before integration, the greater the benefits after integration.

Unless the Chi Yang God Palm reached the fourth layer.

Even after its fusion, the Sun-Moon Heaven Shattering Finger wouldn't be able to directly reach the second level.

Knock knock!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The sound of the courtyard gate echoed.

Tian Kui, realizing what needed to be done, stepped forward and used his own claws to pry open the latch. He then swung the door wide open.

Outside the door.

Standing there was Xing Yi.

"General Xing, why have you come again today"

Shen Changqing stopped his martial arts cultivation and came to the stone bench, sitting down and speaking to himself.

Xing Yi was also familiar with the road, nodding towards Tian Kui before stepping inside.

"Xun Zhenzhou has returned, so I'm here to inform Elder Shen."

"He's back"

Shen Changqing's spirits lifted.

After a long wait, Xun Qu has finally returned!

Where is Xun now stationed

"The Town Guard Commander is in the main hall. Elder Shen, if you're available, you can go over there."

Xing Yi said.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing wasted no time, standing up straight and walking toward the main hall.

In the main hall.

Xun Qu was sitting there, and in the center of the hall were three things that looked like coffins.

The lid above was carved with strange patterns, and there were huge chains binding it. The coffin shook from time to time, as if something inside was pounding against it with all its might.

>

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It is now.

Shen Changqing walked in from outside.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

His gaze was immediately drawn to the coffin.

After casting a glance at the coffin, he finally turned his attention to Xun Qu who was sitting there.

"Xun Zhenzhou is back!"

“I apologize for keeping Elder Shen waiting. As requested, I, Xun, have transported three demon heads from the capital. Each of these containers holds a sealed demon.”

Xun Qu smiled faintly, pointing at the coffin in front of him and saying.

Shen Changqing nodded slightly.

>

When he saw the coffin, he sensed a subtle and sinister aura emanating from it.

As he was examining the coffin.

Xun Qu, however, sighed and said, "I didn't expect that after I left Poshan City for just a short while, such a big thing would happen in Poshan City."

"Having heard that Elder Shen severely injured the leader of the Eternal Life Alliance and slaughtered the demons who came to attack, I only regret not being able to witness it with my own eyes. It is truly a pity."

>

The emotions expressed in the words only make up a small portion.

>The vast majority, are still shocked.

Yes.

... Shocked.

Xu Qu never imagined that Shen Changqing's strength would reach this level.

When I was in Luoyang.

...and at the time of Heaven's Realm.

The opponent's displayed strength is also very strong, but compared to the information I received, the difference between them is not ordinary.

If one were to say.

It's a bit hard to believe that Shen Changqing could improve his time management to such a degree in just one or two months, thought Xun Qu.

He was very clear.

Those who have reached this realm, if they want to improve their strength, it is incredibly difficult.

Discard this possibility.

Then there's one last possibility.

The other party has always been hiding their true strength.

But.

Xun Qu believed that he understood Shen Changqing well. He didn't seem like the type who would hide their talents.

If it's not hiding one's abilities, there's no other explanation.

Of course.

It is also possible that the other party's luck is very powerful, so powerful that it allows them to undergo a new transformation in their strength within one or two months.

That is it.

>

It's impossible for him to say he has no ideas.

But Xun Qu could also understand that even if Shen Changqing truly had deep connections, he was not something anyone could covet now.

Eliminate intermediate demons.

Severely wounded the Eternal Alliance leader.

The opponent's strength, even if it were an ordinary King-Rank Garrison Commander, would be incomparable to it.

Such a strong one.

Even placed within the formidable Demon Suppression Division, it is still qualified to be considered top-tier.

In the world, besides Amitabha Buddha, he couldn't think of anyone else who could stand up to him.

>

Therefore.

Even if Shen Changqing had opportunities, no one would dare to covet them.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

>sence from the long-standing elder, and other onlookers cultivators didn't dare to openly compete for it. They only collected fragments of the Divine Kingdom that scattered elsewhere.As for the divine...
