Chapter 1729: Sincerity

Emperor disappeared into the cave.Meanwhile.The battle in the void battlefield also formally alarmed the strong men of the Blood Crocodile clan within the heavens and earth.Let me know if you have any...At this moment.

Just then, other cultivators arrived from the sky.

Suddenly, Duàn Jǐng's expression turned solemn. He looked towards the incoming person, his eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent.

With Shen Changqing's support behind him, he already had enough confidence to face other powerful individuals.

No need to say more.

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

Reliant solely on the divine talismans bestowed by the opposing party, he could remain undefeated against ordinary deities and even had a chance to slay them.

For this, Duan Jing has absolute confidence.

Especially seeing Shen Changqing forcefully kill Bei Jue with a talisman, his heart was even more shocked.

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

Who says that roundabout tactics don't work.

As long as there are enough talismans, even killing enemies beyond one's own realm wouldn't be a problem.

"Don't worry!"

Shen Changqing slowly said, hearing this, Duan Jing's face slightly eased.

That's when.

He also saw clearly which faction the arriving cultivators belonged to.

This is the time.

"A visitor also spoke in a loud voice: “Shangguan Xinghe, from the renowned Shangguan family, has heard of the difficulties faced by the Honglingfang Market and has come to offer assistance!”

“Thank you, Shangguan family, for your concern. A lowly person like me can't possibly cause any significant waves.”

Shen Changqing said something neither salty nor bland.

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

Shangguan Xinghe thought he had hidden well, but Shen Changqing had long seen through everything.

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

I thought the Shangguan family was hiding in the shadows, waiting to take advantage of the situation.

I didn't expect that.

The other party didn't lay a finger on anything the whole time.

Now that Shangguan Xinghe has appeared, Shen Changqing understands that the other party's purpose is probably not so simple.

However, one shouldn't strike a smiling face. No matter what the Shangguan family was thinking in private, at least on the surface they hadn't offended Honglingfang Market. Naturally, Shen Changqing wouldn't give them a cold shoulder.

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

On the other side.

Shangguan Xinghe has already arrived.

He was followed by a group of cultivators from the aristocratic families, all looking at Shen Changqing with awe in their eyes.

Bei is not an ordinary God Monarch, but the deputy Saint Master of the ancient desolate Holy Land, with cultivation reaching the extremely high realm of God Monarch Seven Layers.

Although the Divine Lord Sevenfold is not too strong in the Nine States, within the Eight Desolates, especially the most barren Ancient Wasteland of the Eight Desolates, the Divine Lord Sevenfold is top-tier.

Such a powerful being was obliterated by Shen Changqing's overwhelming attack, and from beginning to end, Shen Changqing remained unscathed.

Thus is the situation.

It is astonishing.

In the cultivation world, strength is paramount.

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

Whether it's anywhere, the strong are always respected.

The strength that Shen Changqing now displays is enough to make these cultivators from the aristocratic families feel respect.

Shen Changqing heard this, glanced at Shangguan Xinghe, saw that the other party had no other unusual expressions on his face, and immediately nodded slightly.

"Alright, Duànjǐng, you handle the aftermath."

"I obey your orders!"

Then, with a bow, he gave a curt nod.

This battle had a wide-reaching impact. Most of the Honglingfang market was reduced to ruins, and some cultivators who were completely unprepared for it perished in the fighting.

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

There's no way around it.

The strong will fight, and the innocent will be caught in the crossfire. This is inevitable.

This also indirectly illustrates that, when a major disaster strikes, even if one hides deep in the mountains and forests, it will be of no use.

After all, the more powerful cultivators vie for supremacy, the more terrifying the scope of their influence becomes.

> At times, a mere blink could erase tens of thousands, even millions of miles around. Countless beings would perish as a consequence.

However.

This battle.

Very few cultivators truly ended up buried with the deceased.

Most cultivators evacuated at the moment the war broke out, avoiding a tragic demise.

Inside the mansion.

Shen Changqing sat on either side of Shangguan Xinghe, while other cultivators from the Shangguan family did not have the qualifications to enter this place and were arranged by Duan Jing in other locations.

“Hong Ling Dao Friend’s cultivation is profound, especially his mastery of talismanry, which is truly admirable. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that the esteemed Deputy Saint Master of Gu Huang Sacred Land would fall here.”

"The mystical Dao is profound and, when wielded by a fellow practitioner, becomes even more extraordinary!"

Shangguan Xinghe didn't hold back any compliments, showering Shen Changqing with praise.

The latter also did not appear to be shaken, their demeanor remaining calm.

"Elder Shangguan praised, saying that in the end it was just because Bei Jue's cultivation was too weak. If Elder Shangguan were there himself, it would be anyone's guess who would win this battle."

> That's all I have to say.

Shen Changqing took a deep look at the other person.

Regarding the hidden meaning in Shen Changqing's words, Shangguan Xinghe gave an embarrassed smile.

He knew.

The secret affairs of the Shangguan family, hidden in the dark, have already been known to the other party.

>

This may not be that Shen Changqing's strength is so great that he could sense his own hiding, but the other cultivators of the Shangguan family couldn't hide from the perception of a God Monarch.

Moreover.

The timely appearance of the Shangguan family makes one think. Anyone who isn't foolish can see what's going on.

However.

Although exposed.

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

But the awkward look on Shangguan Xinghe's face only lasted for a moment before he quickly returned to his usual composure.

“Hong Ling Dao You possesses extraordinary cultivation, and his mastery of talismans is profound. Even I, might not be your opponent.”

But this time, Bei Jue's demise, the Ancient Wilderness Holy Land will surely not let it go.

Speaking of which, how much do you know about the ancient wasteland

Shangguan Xinghe changed the subject.

Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags intact:

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

Shen Changqing said, "I would like to hear more about it."

According to my understanding of the Shangguan family, the ancient desolate sacred land was once ruled by the overlord of the ancient desolate era. There were even powerful figures at the level of a divine emperor residing in the sacred land.

After the fall of the Divine Emperor, the ancient wilderness holy land gradually declined.

But as the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. As a powerful force where even divine emperors once appeared, even in its decline, the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land possesses an extraordinary depth of heritage.

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

Although your personal strength is undeniable, a single person can't defeat an army. If the ancient desolate holy land were to launch a full-scale attack, the Red Ridge Market would surely be destroyed!

As Shangguan Xinghe spoke, her expression grew increasingly grave.

At the same time.

The other party was also paying close attention to Shen Changqing's facial expressions.

It's a pity, though.

Shen Changqing remained expressionless throughout, which left Shangguan Xinghe feeling a little disappointed.

This person's scheming is deeper than he imagined.

Even when hearing such news, one can still remain composed and unfazed, like Mount Tai collapsing before them. This is not something an ordinary cultivator can achieve.

When Shangguan Xinghe finished speaking, Shen Changqing said with a half-smile, "The Ancient Desolate Sacred Land is indeed powerful, but my Honglingfang City is not something anyone can easily control."

If the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land truly wants to take action, this seat will fight them to the death.

Even if Honglingfang Market is destroyed as a result, this seat will make the Ancient Ruins Holy Land gnash its teeth.

Now that a great calamity has struck, a weakened ancient wasteland Holy Land is undoubtedly a tempting target for other forces. As long as the ancient wasteland Holy Master isn't foolish, he shouldn't dare to make a move against my Red Ridge Trading Post.

“Hong Ling Dao Ren’s words do have some truth to them, but the Gu Huang Holy Land has always acted domineeringly. The fall of Bei Jue is already a humiliation for the Gu Huang Holy Land.”

Besides, with the vast resources of the ancient desolate holy land, there might be some powerful trump cards left.

It's good to be confident, but a fellow cultivator should also proceed with caution.

Shangguan Xinghe spoke softly and persuaded, appearing to be entirely concerned for Shen Changqing.

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

The attitude of this Hongling Patriarch was even harsher than he had imagined. His unwavering determination gave Shangguan Xinghe a headache.

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

He intended to frighten Shen Changqing into submission, thereby prompting the influential families of officials to intervene.

I didn't expect that.

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

This means he's actually planning to destroy the ancient desolate sacred land along with himself.

Shangguan Xinghe was, of course, helpless about this.

"Thank you, Elder Shangguan, for reminding me. I have it in mind."

Shen Changqing nodded.

Then.

Both sides were silent.

For a while.

Shangguan Xinghe's heart became increasingly awkward.

His unorthodox approach renders his past experiences irrelevant.

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

Ultimately.

Shangguan Xinghe could only reveal the truth: “The Shangguan family greatly admires Daoist Hongling, so they want to invite you to join the Shangguan family.”

With your cultivation and experience, you are qualified to be the first enshrined figure of our Shangguan family. You are eligible to comprehend the ancestral teachings of our Shangguan family.

You have to know, although my Shangguan family is now in decline, it has also produced many powerful Shenhuang experts in the past.

Though the number of top-notch inheritances within our clan isn't overwhelming, there are still quite a few. I believe they will be of some help to Daoist Hongling.

That's it.

>

Shangguan Xinghe didn't wait for Shen Changqing to answer and continued dropping another bombshell.

"In addition, as a venerated offering, the Shangguan clan provides 100 Yin-Yang spirit stones as a base cultivation resource every hundred years. Additionally, if fellow cultivators have any needs regarding their practice, the Shangguan clan will do its best to fulfill them."

At the same time, the Shangguan family will provide all materials needed for Daoist friends to draw talismans free of charge.

Upon hearing this.

A sharp glint appeared in Shen Changqing's eyes.

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

Shangguan Xinghe's given conditions can be said to be extremely generous.

Every hundred years, there is a cultivation resource of one hundred top-grade Nether Spirit Stones. This goes without saying, although it can be considered icing on the cake, it is actually quite a lot in practice.

For many deities, it wouldn't be easy to come up with this many top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones.

The real big head.

Here is the translation of your provided text:

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

This means that it is about inheriting the school's secret teachings, and providing free materials for drawing talismans.

Please be advised.

The inheritance of the God Emperor cannot be measured by price. It is a priceless treasure. Even an ordinary God Monarch, if they spent their entire life trying to obtain such an inheritance, would have no chance.

For itinerant cultivators, the most important thing is transmission.

Therefore.

The condition Shangguan Xinghe gave, if Shen Changqing was truly an ordinary wandering cultivator, the temptation would undoubtedly be the most deadly.

Then, there are materials for drawing talismans that are provided free of charge.

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

Still the same.

Any powerful talisman master is forged through the forceful accumulation of vast resources.

The resources consumed by a Fuda master's growth path are difficult to measure by common sense. This free supply of materials for drawing talismans is a great opportunity for many Fuda masters.

To put it plainly.

Either of these two conditions would be difficult for an ordinary cultivator to refuse, and together, there is no reason to refuse.

Let's not talk about anything else, just in terms of sincerity alone, the Shangguan family has indeed given enough.
