roduce an unparalleled prodigy."If properly cultivated, it may not allow our race to take the lead in this great struggle, but merely to stand out would be a certainty.>In this era of great turmoil, w..."Greetings, Lord Mayor!"
Another cultivator, upon hearing Duan Jing's words and seeing Shen Changqing appear, was momentarily stunned. He too quickly followed suit and paid his respects.
Although he joined Hongshan City later, in the entire Hongshan City, there was only one person who could make Duan Jing be so respectful and call him "City Lord".
That was the Red Mountain City Lord who had been in seclusion for five hundred years.
Once upon a time, there was a top-tier expert who had beheaded the God Emperor as a divine monarch.
"No need for formalities."
Shen Changqing said lightly.
Please let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Upon hearing this, the two people straightened up.
Then.
Shen Changqing waved his hand at the other cultivator, motioning for him to step aside first. The latter understood immediately and respectfully left the hall.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At this time, only Shen Changqing and Duanjing remained in the main hall.
"Not bad, these years you have already broken through to the Divine King realm!"
>
Before his eyes, the scene shattered as he stepped into the realm of a God Monarch. Not only that, but his aura was steady and strong, clearly indicating he had accumulated quite a bit in the realm of God Monarch.
The Undying Overlord's Art is a top-tier technique passed down from powerful celestial lords. Even if one were merely an ordinary cultivator, practicing this lineage would inevitably make their combat prowess surpass that of typical cultivators at the same level.
Now that he has entered the Divine Monarch First Layer, he already possesses the ability to compete with a general Divine Monarch Second Layer expert.
At this point, Shen Changqing also saw it clearly.
"In response to this, Duan Jing respectfully said: 'My achievements today are all due to the Lord Mayor's grace. Without the Lord Mayor's support, I wouldn't be where I am today!'"
"Words of flattery are unnecessary. This seat has been in seclusion for five hundred years. What changes have occurred in the ancient wasteland and the underworld"
Shen Changqing waved his hand and got straight to the point.
This time, his seclusion lasted for five hundred years.
In the realm of mortals, five hundred years would be enough to witness the rise and fall of dynasties. To say that it is a period of great change, like the sea constantly shifting its sands, would not be an exaggeration.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
For cultivators, five hundred years is nothing.
One thing that needs to be clear is:
The underworld today is not the same as it was in the past.
Major disasters are frequent.
The situation in the Netherworld is constantly changing.
Five hundred years is enough time to change many things.
As for the aura of tribulation, Shen Changqing could feel that Gu Huang's aura was at least several times more intense than it was five hundred years ago.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This is a sign that the Great Calamity has reached its peak.
When Shen Changqing was previously in seclusion, contemplating the Sword Dao of Killing, he almost had his mind corrupted by demonic qi and felt a slight desire for bloodshed.
Even with his current cultivation, if the number of tribulation qi multiplied several times, it wouldn't likely affect his temperament. The problem is that the Killing Sword Path itself emphasizes killing power as its core principle.
Ruthless killing.
Qi of robbery is also the main killer.
When they met, the seductive power that captivated their minds multiplied exponentially. Even with Shen Changqing's current cultivation and mental fortitude, he found it difficult to control.
But luckily.
He has enough control over his own heart.
Otherwise.
Under such a plague of calamity, Shen Changqing couldn't avoid becoming a puppet of slaughter.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
So.
Shen Changqing could determine that You Ming must have undergone other changes, otherwise, the calamity qi would not have expanded so much.
"Your Honor, four hundred years ago, the Dark and Nether camps escalated into war. The two sides' armies, numbering in the trillions of cultivators, fought each other, engulfing all of the Nine Regions in flames."
This is just a placeholder.
It is rumored that many powerful cultivators at the level of a Divine Emperor have perished, resulting in heavy losses for both sides.
Three hundred and fifty years ago, the forces of darkness pressed in relentlessly. The Chaotic Imperial Dynasty besieged the Heavenly Gang Ancestral Court, capturing vast swathes of territory and slaying many powerful figures within its ranks. They then took control of it.
But unexpectedly, the Tiangang ancestral temple had long been prepared. They set up a formidable killing array in the lost territory.
When the Chaotic Emperor Dynasty took control of that place, the Tian Gang Ancestral Court immediately activated the killing formation, slaughtering billions of cultivators in that region, turning it into a desolate ghost realm.
This battle dealt a heavy blow to the Chaotic Emperor Dynasty, and once again escalated the conflict between the two sides.
After that, the two major factions used their hidden forces to assassinate each other. Many cultivators from various sects were caught in the crossfire and became victims of the great calamity. Numerous forces across the Nine States had to leave their homeland and seek refuge in the Eight Desolations.
When the scene broke, Shen Changqing finally understood why the demonic energy had become so terrifying.
Emotions are running completely wild between the two factions now.
According to what the other party said, it was Tiangang Zu Ting who started flipping the table first.
Set a killing array.
Secretly, he sabotaged the ancestral temple of Chaos.
In fact, the killing array of Tiangang Ancestral Court didn't just target cultivators from the Chaos Emperor Dynasty, but also numerous sects and other cultivators who existed in that domain.
After all, the Nine Provinces is the center of the Netherworld, with abundant spiritual energy and numerous opportunities. Most cultivators live in the Nine Provinces.
Although the two major camps have begun fighting, many cultivators and sects remain neutral and do not participate in this war.
But now.
A killing formation of the Heavenly Gang ancestral court, even neutral forces would be implicated.
Such an approach can be said to be utterly insane.
But it can also be seen from the side that the Yin Army may have been truly driven to a desperate situation, otherwise, the Heavenly Gang Ancestral Court would never act like this.
To know such a practice, it is easy to anger other neutral forces.
It's a pity.
If the Heavenly Gang Ancestral Temple still does this, it means the other party has no other way.
“A killing formation slaughtering tens of millions of cultivators, these overlord-level forces are completely unconcerned about the lives and deaths of other sect cultivators!”
Shěn Chángqīng shook his head slightly.
When Duàn Jǐng heard this, he also sneered and scoffed: "As for those forces, they wouldn't care about the lives of other sects or cultivators like us."
These hegemonic forces, how could they have risen to power They are all built upon the subjugation of low-level cultivators, draining their blood and marrow, step by step.
Whether it's the Four Great Empires or forces like the Heavenly Gang Ancestral Court, in their eyes, ordinary cultivators are like ants, easily crushed to death!
It can be heard that Duan Jing has a lot of resentment, even anger, towards this situation.
>
The lips and teeth perish together.
When the rabbit dies, the fox grieves.
The Tian Gang ancestral court could lay down a killing array, burying all innocent cultivators, and the Chaotic Imperial Dynasty could also emulate such practices.
These top-tier forces' struggle, however, treats ordinary grassroots cultivators as sacrifices. Duan Jing naturally feels empathy for this.
And.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
From these things, he also felt a great crisis.
>
If one day the ancient wilderness also becomes a battlefield, will I also follow in the footsteps of the Kyushu cultivators
After all, in a battle formation like this, who could possibly survive
Countless cultivators fell in the battlefield, even Divine Emperors perished. Let alone other cultivators.
On hearing this.
Shen Changqing fell silent for a long while, then sighed as well.
"Without proof of immortality for the gods, they are ultimately just ants. As cultivators, we struggle to survive in the midst of calamity. We must seize every opportunity to ensure our own survival!"
The mayor makes a good point!
Nodding in agreement is also a point of deep understanding.
Originally, the Daoist Deity was somewhat proud and complacent. However, after hearing about what had happened in Kyushu, any trace of pride he had vanished completely.
And how is the divine being
In the face of those powerful forces and top-tier experts, they are nothing more than stronger ants.
So.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Over the years, Duan Jing has worked diligently, running Hongshan City. He understands that he is where he is today entirely because of Shen Changqing. Without the other's help, Duan Jing would still be an ordinary wandering cultivator in the Hongling Mountains, potentially falling victim to stronger forces at any time.
Now that I've broken through to the God Sovereign realm, this is practically the limit.
This ability is sufficient for casual cultivators, which indicates that their cultivation talent isn't particularly strong.
Having a premonition, she knew that to take things further, she would have to cling tightly to Shen Changqing's leg.
Although Shen Changqing was just an ordinary wandering cultivator, Duan Jing had a feeling deep down that he was definitely not an ordinary cultivator.
Following Shen Changqing's footsteps is the only way to have hope of deciding your own destiny.
Otherwise.
He remained an ordinary, low-ranking cultivator for his entire life.
Unclear of the thoughts in broken scene's mind, Shen Changqing naturally didn't know. After the other party finished speaking, he opened his mouth again.
You just said that many forces in Kyushu left their homeland and went to the Eight Desolates. In that case, ancient barren land has become home to a lot of unfamiliar forces from Kyushu
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Well, indeed there are quite a few unfamiliar forces entering the Ancient Desolation now. Although most of these forces are heading to the other seven desolate lands, some have come to the Ancient Desolation as well."
"It's only because, a hundred years ago, the forces guarding the nine ancient cities of Guhuang withdrew, making this place temporarily much calmer!"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
He nodded in agreement.
Gǔhuāng's geographical location is special. The entrance to Zhūtīan is here, and it is destined to become a place of contention for the two major forces someday.
But now.
The major forces in the nine ancient cities of Guhuang have withdrawn, which means that both sides don't want to waste their efforts here and are determined to settle the outcome within the Nine Regions.
That's it.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The danger of the ancient wilderness has certainly been reduced by a lot.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
This is also why other forces have entered the ancient wilderness.
Otherwise.
Other forces also dare not enter the ancient wasteland.
After all, with the Nether forces stationed in the ancient desolate Nine Cities, no one could guarantee when the flames of war might reach the ancient desolate side. However, with the Nether forces' withdrawal now, this issue can be temporarily ignored.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated! I can handle a variety of languages.
But Guhuang was after all the most desolate place in the Eight Desolates, so not many forces truly ventured into Guhuang.
Although the forces entering the Ancient Wilderness were not many, the Ancient Wilderness itself was relatively weak. Now that the forces of the Nine Provinces have entered it, they have also been dealt a considerable blow.
Over the centuries, many indigenous powers in ancient barren lands have been destroyed or directly absorbed by other regional forces.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Only the top forces from ancient times could barely maintain stability, but even so, the situation was far from optimistic.
Among them, many factions have set their sights on Red Mountain City, making secret moves in the shadows. My subordinates are also running around in a panic. However, with the city lord's return, things should be settled and the situation in Red Mountain City stabilized!
By the end, Duan Jing was clearly letting his guard down. Shen Changqing's timing for leaving seclusion, in his opinion, was just right.
