Chapter 1706: Learning from Others’ Strengths
m.Zhong Shanxia's eyes narrowed slightly, and his long sword seemed to emanate a cold mist."I give you three breaths to consider. After three breaths, if you do not make a decision, the Kui Niu clan w..."Greetings, Unmarked Immortal King!"
Shen Changqing cupped his hands and said.
At this time, the middle-aged divine sovereign also spoke up: "Reporting to the elder, this one named Changming Divine Sovereign comes from the Tianhuang Divine Clan!"
"The Heavenly Desolation Divine Race..."
The Traceless Immortal King nodded slightly, then changed the subject.
“This seat remembers that the Heavenly Desolation Divine Clan was exterminated many years ago. Back then, the last emperor of the Heavenly Desolation Divine Clan was reborn in the Netherworld, awakening his former latent wisdom and growing to the level of a great power.”
It's a pity that I later heard that the immortal king unfortunately met his demise in a certain secret realm. It is truly a great loss.

Shen Changqing said: "The Heavenly Desolate God Clan has long been destroyed, and I am just an ordinary wandering cultivator!"
"So, you're a wandering cultivator!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Unmarked Immortal King nodded.
“Your Excellency, to have cultivated to your current state as a lone cultivator shows extraordinary talent. I wonder if you would consider joining my Tianganzu Temple.”
If you are willing, the Heavenly Stem Ancestral Court can treat you as a guest minister. In terms of treatment, it is top-notch throughout the entire Netherworld."
“Thank you, Wuheng Immortal King, for your kind offer. However, I am just a newcomer to the Netherworld and unfamiliar with everything here. I would like to travel around first and get acquainted with it. When the time comes and if there is an opportunity, I will definitely visit your Tian Gang ancestral court in person.”
Shen Changqing calmly refused.
>
Upon hearing this, the Unmarked Immortal King did not get angry. He smiled faintly and said, "Very well, since you are unwilling, this king will naturally not force you. However, the Netherworld is dangerous. You should also be careful."
Thank you for reminding me, Immortal King.
Shen Changqing slightly bowed his hands, then bid farewell and left.
The Unremarkable Immortal King watched his retreating figure, the smile on his face gradually disappearing.

Beside him.
The middle-aged divine sovereign sighed: "It's a pity that such a strong person can't join my Heavenly Gang Ancestral Court. Otherwise, it would be a good thing!"
“If he really joined the Tiangang ancestral court, it might not necessarily be a good thing.”
The Unrivaled Immortal King's lips curled into a smile, but it seemed somehow...peculiar.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged deity's expression couldn't help but startle.
"The elder means..."
"The Celestial Luminary God... is merely a fabrication. The Heavenly Desolation Divine Clan perished countless epochs ago, their bloodline long extinct. How could there still be descendants alive today"
And if this old master is not mistaken, he also has a disguise of power. It's just that this kind of disguise is extremely profound, and one can't see through it unless they reach a certain level.
The words of the Trace-less Immortal King caused the middle-aged Divine Lord's expression to change.
At this time.
The Traceless Immortal King's voice rang out once more: "Looking across the heavens, those capable of such power are at least peak Divine Lords, or even Divine Emperors."
Such powerful figures are well-known and respected throughout the heavens. They would never hide their identity like this.
“Changming, Changming… If this seat hasn’t misread, he should be Shen Changqing!”
As soon as these words were uttered.
The middle-aged divine monarch's expression changed drastically.
Shen Changqing!
He wouldn't be unfamiliar with this name.
In recent years, he stirred up turmoil in the underworld. He killed many powerful figures from dark forces and even engaged in infighting with the gods within the ancient desolate defense line, slaying numerous divine emperors and annihilating armies of millions of living beings.
> Arrived at the back.
Even the gods were startled.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However.
Even with the presence of a divine being, it was impossible to keep it.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
> Such a situation was caused by a cultivator who hadn't even set foot in the realm of great powers.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
As soon as the news spread, the entire Netherworld was shaken.
The headmaster of Tianzong, Shen Changqing!
>
This title.
For the vast majority of cultivators, it is well-known.
Now that he learned that the self-proclaimed hermit, Changming, was actually Shen Changqing in disguise, the middle-aged celestial sovereign was naturally shocked.
"Alright, this matter is none of your concern. Also, do not spread the news about Shen Changqing's appearance. If you disobey orders, you should know the consequences."
"I understand!"
The middle-aged god hastily said.
Among the powerful figures currently guarding the ancient wilderness defense line at Gangzu Temple, this Unmarked Immortal King before us holds the highest authority.
Don't say he is just a small god, even if they were of equal power, there's nothing they could do to disobey his orders.
On this account.
The Wuxin Immortal King didn't say much, and left directly.
> On the other side.
Shen Changqing has already left the Ancient Desolate Defense Line.
The moment the Shadowless Immortal King arrived, he realized his true identity had been seen through by the other.
Although Shen Changqing was confident in his disguise, it was impossible to fool those at the level of powerful beings.
Moreover.
That Traceless Immortal King wasn't an ordinary powerful being.
During the invasion of the dark forces in World War I, the Heavenly Gang Ancestral Court was led by them to resist the strong. The realm of the Immortal King Wuhen had reached the ninth level of Great Power, just one step away from achieving complete Great Power and qualifying for the impact of immortality.
Such powerful beings at this level naturally possess extraordinary vision.
But.
The Undying Immortal King didn't expose his identity publicly, nor did he act rashly. Shen Changqing couldn't tell what the other party's intentions were for a while.
But still, the same thing.
The Tiangang ancestral temple doesn't provoke him, and he won't provoke the Tiangang ancestral temple either.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If the Heavenly Gang Ancestral Court truly wanted to be enemies with him, Shen Changqing would naturally not be polite.
Even if the Heavenly Gang Ancestral Temple had a divine being in residence, the outcome would be the same.
With a wealth of knowledge and experience at his disposal, Shen Changqing had the confidence to face anything.
But to be on the safe side, Shen Changqing still changed his appearance and went deeper into the Underworld.
Since stepping into the underworld.
He could feel it, the rules that had always held him in check were now completely gone.
This feeling is like the thick fog in front of me dissipating, giving a sense of clarity as if the clouds have parted to reveal the moon.
Of course.
Although the shackles of a great power disappeared, it doesn't mean Shen Changqing could directly break through.
The transformation to the great power realm of complete Dao fruit requires a crucial opportunity.
This opportunity.
That is the comprehension of the rules.
All roads lead to one!
This final step for a Transcendent Powerhouse is to achieve true unification of all paths, transforming all Dao rules into the Ultimate Dao, laying the foundation for their future breakthrough to immortality.
Shen Changqing now has integrated nearly 99% of the rules of the cave heaven, but he still hasn't achieved true perfection. He is just one step away from success, yet it completely stops him.
“Senior, how can one break through to the realm of Great Power as quickly as possible”
As Shen Changqing ventured deeper into the underworld, he asked.
This is not a complete sentence.
He spoke.
The sound of Qing Yi also came with it.
To break through to the realm of great power, one must either rely on their own understanding of the rules of heaven and earth, accumulating bit by bit, and then using this to achieve unity of all paths, thus breaking through to the realm of great power.
Otherwise, they could seek out the rules and rhymes left behind by other powerful cultivators. After all, one can learn from the stones of others. By studying the rules and rhymes of powerful cultivators, one could accelerate their own progress towards the unification of ten thousand paths.
The only two ways to break through to the realm of great power, there is no third possibility.
When Shen Changqing heard this, he already understood in his heart.
At the end of the day.
Both of these methods can be integrated into one, which is enlightenment.
The difference is.
The former is the comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, while the latter is the comprehension of the Great Dao of previous generations.
The boundless expanse of heaven and earth is vast and difficult to grasp. To comprehend nature is not a matter of a day or two.
The latter, however, is relatively much easier.
>
If the former is likened to a seed, then the latter is equivalent to a mature crop. In comparison, the latter is naturally easier for people to absorb and digest.
Now.
In the celestial realms, there are rules and restrictions. Even if one comprehends the Dao's principles, it serves no purpose; it's simply a waste of these treasures.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That is the current situation.
There are no such restrictions.
Looking at the vast mountains before him, and sensing the auras of many cultivators among them, as well as the terrifying Yin Qi permeating the air, Shen Changqing understood why so many cultivators existed here.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Besides the presence of celestial and earthly Qi in the Netherworld, there is also Netherworld Qi as its main component.
Cultivators in the underworld primarily focus on refining Nether Qi. They have little need for earthly spiritual energy.
For Netherworld cultivators, Heaven and Earth spiritual energy is not entirely incapable of being absorbed. However, when absorbing it, further transformation is still required to convert it into Netherworld spiritual energy that they can absorb.
By comparison.
Refining Netherworld Spiritual Qi is much simpler now.
As for the Netherworld, Shen Changqing was now completely in the dark, having no knowledge whatsoever. Although Qingyi had once followed Emperor Qinglian into the Netherworld during the ancient times, the latter also knew little about the Netherworld region.
And.
After tens of millions of years.
Time flies.
Even in the underworld, there are still considerable changes.
With a thought.
Shen Changqing stepped into the mountains and directly carved out a cave in them using his strength. Afterward, he set up arrays and restrictions around it, making it his temporary dwelling place for the future.
As for him.
Where it is doesn't matter.
The fundamental purpose of entering the Netherworld is to break free from the shackles of the celestial rules, so that one can shatter the limits of the Dao Fruit and step into an even higher realm.
>
With Shen Changqing's current cultivation, even an array formation he casually sets up would be enough to intercept cultivators below the level of a God Monarch.
After finishing all of this, Shen Changqing settled down in his cave abode.
Only seeing him cross his legs, pieces of Grand Dao rules appeared in his palm. These fragments of Grand Dao rules were not high-level, only at the level of a God Monarch, and had limited effect on Shen Changqing now.
A great cultivator's breakthrough to a powerful realm is all about self-cultivation, gradually achieving the state of "ten thousand paths converging into one."
>
Even if the fragments of Dao rules at the level of a divine lord are slightly inferior, they are numerous. If one could refine and comprehend them all, it might even allow oneself to break through to the realm of mighty beings.
Therefore.
Shen Changqing restrained his mind, discarding the distracting thoughts in his heart. His mental power fell into the fragments of the Great Dao rules, and suddenly a vast and majestic rule rhyme emerged from them.
The river rushes on.
The power of rules is like a tsunami.
Such immense power, if faced by other cultivators, would inevitably cause their minds to waver. However, with Shen Changqing's cultivation realm, this onslaught of rule power had no effect on him. His divine sense was like a rock, standing firm in the river of rules. Regardless of how the power of the rules washed over him, it remained unmoved.ad been pierced, recovered as before. Its fierce attack was already in front of Shen Changqing.The power of the Emperor's third level.At this point, things had reached a boiling point.Despite his visi...
