Chapter 1722: Recruiting Talents
alace gate opened.Shen Changqing stepped out from inside.Cui Fu, who had been guarding the palace gate all along, turned around in a hurry after hearing the noise behind him. He just happened to see t..."The Ancient Desolate Holy Land!"
Shen Changqing's expression was indifferent. The information on the visiting card in his hand was short, nothing more than some flattery and stating that Bei Jue, the deputy saint of the ancient desolate sacred land, wanted to meet him.
Before him, Duan Jing spoke in a low voice: "The visitors from the ancient desolate holy land are not kind. Ancestor, you must be careful!"
As the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't press down on a local snake. Even if Guhuang Sacred Land is powerful, this is still Honglingfang Market, and naturally they won't be allowed to turn things upside down.
Since he wants to meet, it wouldn't hurt to have a face-to-face meeting.
"You are to tell the Deputy Divine Lord that I will be here at this time tomorrow, awaiting his arrival!"
Shen Changqing pinched the name card in his hand without force, and the card quietly disappeared into nothingness, turning into ashes.
Ancient desolate holy land!
Although the letter was polite, Shen Changqing could understand that the visitor was not well-intentioned.
However.
It's still the saying that a strong dragon doesn't overwhelm a local snake.
Even if the visitor is malicious, what can be done about it
>
If Shen Changqing were truly just an ordinary Divine Lord, he would indeed have little chance against the ancient Desolation Saint Land.
However, Shen Changqing was no ordinary god. He certainly didn't have the ancient desolate sacred land in his eyes.
The next day.
> Bei jue went to visit.
The other party brought a number of disciples from the Ancient Desolate Holy Land, and Shen Changqing also sent people to greet them.
In the lobby.
Bei Jue looked at the white-clothed middle-aged man in front of him and cupped his hands together, saying, "This old man Bei Jue greets Red Ridge Divine Lord!"
"Greetings, Northern Divine Sovereign!"
Shen Changqing also politely returned the gift.
A few people sat down.
Bei Jue looked at the person in front of him and tentatively asked, "May I ask where Hong Ling Shenjun practiced in the past This old man has been in Gu Huang for many years and has never heard of Dao You's name."
At first, Bei Bujue didn't pay much attention to Shen Changqing. However, when he actually met Shen Changqing, he realized that the other party was not as simple as he had imagined.
Here is the translation:

The person before me has a hidden and unfathomable aura.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To know that Beiju is already a powerful figure in the later stage of the Divine Sovereign realm, it's unlikely for ordinary Divine Sovereigns to hide their cultivation from him.
If Shen Changqing could make himself unable to see the depths, then there were only two possibilities.
Either the other party's cultivation level is higher than one's own, or they possess a divine ability to conceal their power.
Both.
Bei Jue tends to prefer the latter.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He doesn't believe it.
A stranger deity, could be stronger than oneself.
Shen Changqing shook his head and smiled faintly, "This old man was originally a wandering cultivator in the mountains. By chance when he was young, he got an opportunity which allowed him to reach where he is today."
After traveling the world, I happened to step into the ancient wasteland and therefore temporarily resided in the Hongling Mountains.
In today's turbulent times, it is not easy for us wandering cultivators to find a place to settle down.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This sentence.
That made all the cultivators in the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land feel deeply empathetic.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
A great catastrophe erupted.
The Ancient Desolate Sacred Ground was also affected by it.
Bei Jue said: "The God Monarch's words are most true. Nowadays, the great tribulation sweeps across the land, and no place in the Nine States and Eight Desolations can find peace. Even Guhuang, a few years ago, erupted into many great wars, with countless fallen divine emperors and god monarchs."
The Red Ridge God Monarch's cultivation was not weak. Practicing in the Red Ridge Mountains, he would have had no problems in the past.
But now that great calamities are frequent, the dark camp and the underworld camp have been fighting incessantly. As cultivators, we want to protect ourselves, which is undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to heaven.
In my opinion, even if the Hongling Mountains are peaceful right now, it's unlikely to last for long!
To sum it up.
His expression was filled with worry, as if he truly cared about Shen Changqing.
The latter, hearing this, calmly asked, "Lord Beijue Shenjun, could it be that you have received some news"
"To be frank with you, my lord, the Ancient Desolation Sacred Land has received news that the Dark Camp is currently consolidating its forces and intends to once again invade the Ancient Desolation, aiming to conquer the Nine Cities of the Ancient Desolation."
The last battle at the Nine Ancient Cities of Guhuang occurred hundreds of years ago. That war saw many powerful beings perish, and its repercussions were felt far and wide.
Now that war is about to break out again, it will certainly be even more intense than last time.
When Shen Changqing heard this, his eyes moved slightly.
The forces of darkness are back!
This message was quite important to him.
Of course.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He had no desire to directly confront the dark forces.
Now that Shen Changqing has fallen out with the Demon Lord, he is completely detached from any faction. In this situation, he doesn't need to consider so much; he only needs to seek profit from it.
War broke out.
For ordinary cultivators, this would be a disaster, but for Shen Changqing, it might not necessarily be a bad thing.
After all.
>
War often represents opportunity.
Shen Changqing's current breakthrough requires a massive amount of Dao Rule fragments. If a powerful being were to fall, he would have the opportunity to break through by taking advantage of it.
Seeing Shen Changqing's silence, Bei Jue thought the other party was afraid after hearing the news, so he smiled faintly and continued.
The Hongling Mountain Range is home to many scattered cultivators. If a battle broke out between the two sides, it's possible that some of them would be caught in the crossfire. Rumors say that one side of the dark camp often forcibly conscripts scattered cultivators to serve in their army, forcing other cultivators to participate in the war unwillingly.
"Your reputation in Guhuang is quite prominent now. If you were targeted by the forces of darkness, it would certainly be troublesome."
After Bei Jue finished speaking, Shen Changqing looked at him meaningfully.
"Could the Northern God Jun possibly have a way to break it"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
That's natural!
The north looked aloof and smirked.
“As the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, I have stood firm in the Ancient Wilderness for many years. My roots run deep, and because I have always maintained neutrality, even during war, both sides would show us some respect.”
As a distinguished deity and powerful being, it is unbecoming for you to be a wandering cultivator. You have always compromised your divine status. Therefore, the old man has come to invite Lord Hongling to join my Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land.
At this point, Bei Jue had also reached the end of his patience and directly stated his purpose.
With Your Majesty's divine cultivation and status as a third-rank Fuda Grandmaster, if you were to join the Ancient Desolate Holy Land, we would be like tigers adding wings. This way, when facing the coming catastrophe, we would have several more points of hope.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Moreover, the Lord Saint had spoken beforehand that if the Red Ridge God Monarch was willing to join the Ancient Desolate Holy Land, he could be the deputy saint master of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land, equal in status with the old man!
Deputy Saint Master of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land!
Shén Chángqīng's expression flickered.
Bei Jue came to recruit him, which he didn't find surprising. However, the other party being able to offer the position of Deputy Sect Master did surprise Shen Changqing a bit.
Immediately.
Shen Changqing also reacted.
Just a deputy headmaster.
A phantom job.
The ancient desolate holy land has long since fallen. On the surface, there are only two divine monarchs sitting in town. Now, taking out the vacant title of a deputy saint master to attract another divine monarch, and still one who has cultivated to the third-rank Grandmaster level on the talisman path, is undoubtedly a huge profit.
Moreover.
This is a paragraph.
The Ancient Wilderness Sacred Ground could take this opportunity to directly intervene in the affairs of the Honglingfang Market.

Thus, it will be.
The Ancient Desolate Holy Land offered such conditions, it was a sure win.
While Shen Changqing remained silent, Bei Jue was smiling and looking at the other party with a confident air.
Many cultivators wanted to join the ancient desolate Holy Land, vying for a spot. However, not everyone could succeed.
Besides, this time the ancient desolate sacred land wasn't an ordinary recruitment. It directly offered the position of vice-sacred master.
As long as they are normal cultivators, there is no reason to refuse.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Just when Bei Jue thought this matter was nothing out of the ordinary, Shen Changqing's voice also came.
“To be favored by the Ancient Wilderness Holy Land, this seat is truly honored. However, I have always been free and accustomed to it, and I am not used to being bound by rules. Therefore, about what the Divine Monarch said, this seat still needs to consider it.”
“Hong Ling Shenjun agreed...to what”
As soon as Bei Jue's words left his lips, he suddenly realized something. His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Shen Changqing.
What is the other party saying
This is a refusal!
What they said was just polite words, anyone could hear the rejection in their tone.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This caught Bei Jue completely off guard.
At this moment, the smile on his face was also difficult to maintain, and his expression became slightly serious.
"Hongling Shenjun, you must understand that in this era of frequent calamities, even powerful cultivators are hard-pressed to protect themselves. Only by joining forces with other powers and uniting with fellow cultivators can they truly have a chance to survive the calamity."
"My Ancient Wasteland is the most powerful in the entire ancient wasteland. Furthermore, the position of Deputy Saint Master is extremely honorable. Why do you need to consider so much"
"Your Majesty's kindness, this humble one naturally understands. However, this matter is of great importance, so it requires careful consideration. Once His Royal Highness has made a decision, I will certainly inform Your Majesty immediately!"
"Well, since you've made up your mind, I won't press the matter further. Farewell!"
Bei Jue also didn't continue talking. As a deity, he also needed face. After being rejected by Shen Changqing several times, he didn't intend to say anything more.
Therefore.
As soon as the words were spoken.
Bei Jue just directly led the other cultivators away.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Looking at the departing figures, Shen Changqing's smile gradually receded, and his gaze gradually became calm, but a terrifying kind of calmness.
“This time, I’ve offended the Ancient Wilderness Holy Land. I only hope you can be sensible, otherwise, the Ancient Wilderness Holy Land wouldn't exist!”
>
Bei Jue was unhappy after being rejected, and Shen Changqing saw right through it.
But.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although the other party was unhappy, as long as it didn't affect him, he was too lazy to care.
But if the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land were to become enraged and resentful, Shen Changqing wouldn't mind taking action himself and eradicating the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land.
A fallen holy land sect.
To be honest.
>
Shen Changqing really didn't take the ancient desolate holy land to heart.
Even if it were the ancient and sacred land of Guhuang, once ruled by a divine emperor at its peak, he wouldn't feel any pressure.
> On the other side.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Leaving Shen Changqing's mansion, Bei Jue's already not-so-good complexion turned gloomy, as dark as ink and seeming to drip with water.
"Deputy Lord, what should we do now"
An elder frowned.
Shen Changqing's refusal was also something they didn't expect.
North's voice was cold and distant: "Let him think about it if he wants to. We'll just wait for the auction and see what happens. A third-rank master talisman is still very useful to a holy land."
If we could get our hands on all of it, it would be quite useful!
