Suddenly, there was a deafening roar of thunder from heaven and earth. All living beings on the vast ancient continent seemed to hear this sound.
Next.
As soon as he arrived, he saw a vast platform phantom slowly condensing from the void.
As the phantom coalesced, supreme Xuanhuang Qi surged across ninety million miles, and the rules of heaven seemed to tremble gently, as if in celebration of something.
When the phantom fully solidifies, it will fall downwards.
Boom boom boom!!
A large earthquake occurred.
As if a giant dragon were rolling over.
At this moment...
Some dormant powerhouses have been awakened by this wave.
In an instant, a powerful divine consciousness swept across the scene. Upon seeing the towering platform, ninety thousand zhang high and resembling a pagoda, those powerful beings behind the divine consciousness were all filled with astonishment.
>
"The Altar of Gods has opened!"
"Impossible, the Divine Platform only opens once every 30,000 years. Why is it opening prematurely now"
"The Heavenly Sealing Platform is now open, and all the myriad races of heaven have entered into a world of great strife."
"In this era, it is time for me to preach the Way—"
The news of the birth of the Conferred God Platform.
Like the wind, sweeping across ancient continents and even among all heavenly races.
This day.
Amongst countless ancient powerhouses across all heavens and races, none were left unmoved by the shockwaves.
In the void battlefield.
Clan warfare.
The Gods Contend.
Suddenly.
A profound golden light permeated, and even the void trembled lightly.
The Luo Huang of the Qingyao Clan suddenly stopped, turning his head towards the direction of the Ancient Continent. His face showed an undeniable shock.
"The Platform of Sealing Gods has appeared—"
Very soon.
He came to his senses and then looked at the person in front of him.
"Eastern Divine King, the Sealing Platform has already appeared. There is no need for us to fight any longer, why not call a truce for now"
After a long silence.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan faintly said, "Yes!"
He spoke.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
He vanished into thin air.
Not a single word was spoken out of turn.
Upon seeing this.
Luohuang didn't stop him, just his face was a bit complicated: "The Zhongshan clan has always been patient enough in the past, and only now have they revealed their true potential. A Zhuchuang himself is already troublesome enough, but I didn't expect there to be another Zhongshan Dongxuan."
Now that the platform of conferring gods has appeared, my Qing family should also consider this!
Thinking of the Sealing God Platform, his eyes flashed with sharp brilliance.
>
The emergence of the Altar of Conferred Gods brings both good and bad.
If one can seize the opportunity within, it would be a great blessing, potentially allowing the Qingyao clan, dormant for hundreds of thousands of years, to enter another realm.
But if they fail to control it, the Qing family could also face annihilation.
Just —
Thinking of something, Luo Huang shook his head again.
After waiting so long for the Seal of Immortality to appear, it would be a shame to give up now.
Immediately.
Without any visible movement, his form vanished from the void battlefield.
The same scene is playing out on other void battlefields.
The sudden appearance of Fengchantai caused the already white-hot tribal war to immediately enter a state of suspension.
The Candle Sect.
Chou Feng.
Of course, the changes to the ancient continent were also sensed by Shen Changqing.
That sound and its grand spectacle, even a blind person could sense it with their own perception.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
First of all.
He then sent Cai Fu to investigate.
But a moment later.
The other party has already returned, and they brought the news they wanted.
"The Altar of Conferred Gods"
>
Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, Shen Changqing's expression faltered.
He scoured his own memories, as well as those from the Zhōngshān Cùběn (鐘山仇本源), but found nothing related to Fēngshén Tái (封神台).
On the other side.
>
Cui Fu also shook his head: "My subordinate is also unclear about what the Altar of Sealing Gods is. I only heard from other cultivators that this recent change came from the Zhongzhou Great Region, caused by the appearance of the Altar of Sealing Gods."
>
"The Central Plains Region!"
Shen Changqing silently muttered the name.
Across the ancient continent, Zhongzhou was a vast domain located at its heart. It was even larger than Wan Prefecture and Tianshang Prefecture.
That's all.
As for the Zhongzhou region, he had only heard its name. He didn't actually know much about it.
“I'm aware of this. You have now been a Saint for quite some time, your foundation has solidified considerably, and by transforming in the Pool of Rebirth into the bloodline of my Zhongshan clan, you are now considered equal to the rest of us from the Zhongshan clan.”
You could seek an opportunity to see if your sect could arrange a place of worship for you.
If he had a source of faith, his probability of ascending to the divine realm would be high.
Shen Changqing once again cast his gaze upon the person before him.
Two years.
Although the opponent still failed to ascend to the Divine Realm, their foundation in the Saint Entry state has been greatly strengthened.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Immersed in a state of trance.
The primary reason for this is the lack of faith.
In one aspect, Shinto and martial arts share a great deal in common.
Shinto relies on faith.
Martial arts rely on spiritual energy.
The former cannot take a single step without faith, while the latter lacks spiritual energy. To want to open up hidden treasures is nothing more than wishful thinking.
But.
To delve deeper.
The foundation of Shinto lies in the trust of its believers, while martial arts derive their strength from within oneself.
The former, if one day loses their faith, even with a realm existing, it would be difficult to exert great influence. But martial arts are different; the physical body and vital energy are the foundation. Even without any spiritual energy, relying on oneself, one's strength can remain undiminished.
And this.
That's the biggest difference between them.
If I were truly a disciple of the Candle Sect, I would find a way to secure a place of faith for Cui Fu.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
But using the identity of a disciple of the Candle Sect was only temporary. It felt like a waste of time to help them secure a place for their faith.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Besides.
In Shen Changqing's view.
You've already done enough by providing benefits to the other party.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Unrestrained giving will only lead to the emergence of some inappropriate thoughts.
Therefore.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When it comes to fighting for itself, it will fight for itself. It will never interfere too much.
"Understood!"
Then Cui Fu bowed deeply in response.
“Alright, you go ahead first. Investigate the news about the Seal of God's Platform and any other changes that might occur after it appears.”
Shen Changqing waved his hand, signaling the other party to retreat.
The emergence of the Fengshentai would surely cause quite a stir, inevitably leading to some upheaval.
By that time.
One naturally understands what the Sealing God Platform is.
It was originally.
>
He wanted to go to Zhutian Ge and investigate the matter of Fengshentai thoroughly.
But after thinking it over, I ultimately gave up on that idea.
Instead of wasting that time, it's better to use it to find a way to advance to the sixth level of the Heavenly Cave.
Furthermore.
Over two years, the Qilin clan has accumulated a considerable amount of faith.
Next.
One must also refine some beliefs, so that the realm of Shinto can break through from the fourth level of completeness to the fifth.
The content within the provided HTML tags is empty. Please provide actual text to be translated.
Staying at the current level for too long does not align with the reputation of a genius from the Zhongshan clan.
It's time for a strategic retreat.
There is no harm.
While Shen Changqing remained silently at Chou Feng, on the other hand, inside the Candle Sect's main hall...
After a long absence fighting on the front lines, Zhongshan Dongxuan and all the masters of the Candle Sect who fought in the Void Battlefield have all returned.
In the main hall.
Silence reigned.
Each elder reeked of a strong, nauseating metallic scent.
These bloody smells are remnants after the fall of the divine realm. They are not easy to expel and can only be gradually faded with time.
However.
>
No one cares.
After years of fighting on the battlefield, the smell of blood had become commonplace.
After a long while.
Elder Zhong Shanren, the Second Elder, finally spoke calmly: "The Sealing Platform normally appears once every 30,000 years. It last appeared less than 30,000 years ago, only about 20,000 years."
"Now, something out of place has appeared, and things are not as usual."
Every 30,000 years, the Altar of Sealing Gods appears.
Every hundred years it is born, and then it vanishes again.
>
For tens of thousands of years, the time when Fengshentai appeared has always been fixed according to records.
Like the present, it appeared abruptly in less than 30,000 years. In his memory, such an event had never occurred before.
And with that, he was silent.
From atop the throne, Zhong Shan Dong Xuan's imposing voice boomed.
The conferring of the gods platform occurs once every 30,000 years, this is destiny. But in the heavens, when destiny exists, there will be changes. Rumor has it that whenever celestial energy surges and a great era of strife is about to begin, the conferring of the gods platform will appear prematurely.
And this is also a rare opportunity for all the tribes of heaven and earth.

“The Era of Great Strife”
Upon hearing this, many elders wore expressions of confusion on their faces.
It is obvious.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
They are very unfamiliar with the Era of Great Strife.
Zhong Shandong Xuan said: "The age of great contention has begun, and the rise and fall of all races in the myriad heavens are decided in a single thought. In this era, ascending to the realm of gods from the divine realm, and ascending to the divine master realm from the divine king realm, will be much easier than in the past."
Every great era of strife marks the most glorious time for all celestial races.
Over the past tens or hundreds of millions of years, powerful individuals who have never appeared before may emerge during a great upheaval and dominate an era.
"In fact, my Zhongshan clan failed during the last great war, which is why it fell into decline. Now, after a million years, the great war has finally begun again."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This time, it's the Zhongshan clan's chance to reach its former glory once again.
Let him finish speaking.
Only then did the other elders understand what a time of great strife truly was.
The strong contend!
Rise and fall of races!
>
“What do you think, Sect Leader, that we should do”
An elder, suppressing the excitement bubbling within, finally opened his mouth to ask.
The Age of Great Strife is a rare opportunity, but it must be grasped. As the other party said, during the last Age of Great Strife, the Zhōngshān clan was the loser.
If this attempt fails again, I fear the clan's strength will be greatly diminished.
Please note: I removed the triple angle brackets ( > ) as they are not part of the content you want translated.
In a serious case.
It is not impossible for all of this to be destroyed.
Although the Zhongshan clan is powerful, it is only relatively speaking. Looking at all the celestial races, there are many who can threaten the power of the Zhongshan clan.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan calmly said, "Entering the Era of Great Strife, the primary purpose is to vie for the celestial fortunes. If one can gain the favor of the celestial fortunes, they will naturally possess abundant opportunities and blessings. Talented individuals within the clan will also emerge in droves."
In this current era of great upheaval, no one is eager to start a war. The only way for different factions to compete for the power of heaven and earth is to leave their names on the Altar of Conferred Immortals.
Next, my Zhongshan clan's goal is to secure a place for ourselves on the God Sealing Platform.
The Altar of Sealing the Gods!
That is the gathering of all celestial phenomena, possessing infinite mystery.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated! I'm happy to help.
But those who can leave their names on it are all peerless geniuses.
So.
As long as one can leave their name on the Stele of Sealing Gods, they will be favored by Qi Luck. Not only will the cultivators who leave their names receive a boost in Qi Luck, enabling them to avert danger and possess extraordinary blessings and opportunities.
Even if it is within the same race, its fortune can also rise accordingly.
The fortunes of a clan are on the rise.
That is the key to the prosperity of a race.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Therefore.
For Zhong Shan Dong Xuan, the emergence of Feng Shen Tai meant that the Zhong Shan clan would have to leave their own name on Feng Shen Tai.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Only then.
only then can one truly participate in the grand struggle of the world.
If even those with the right to remain are ineligible, how can we possibly restore its former glory
Those who can leave their names on the Divine Altar are all the strongest in their current realm. I wouldn't dare speak for other realms, but within the God King realm, our Sect Master is a two-rule God King. He should have no problem leaving his name on the Divine Altar.
And Elder Xia, in the Divine Realm, is already not weaker than an ordinary Divine King. If he ascends to the Divine King, he will be the peerless Divine King of our clan.
Thus, the two spots on the Platform of Conferred Gods were as good as decided.
An elder spoke in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, others nodded slightly.
Indeed.
Those who leave their names on the Altar of Sealing Gods are all the strongest in their current realms.
Please note that the original text was empty. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan's natural abilities need no further elaboration. The two Divine Kings of Laws, even among the ranks of Divine Kings of Laws, are rare adversaries.
As for Zhōng Shān Xià, within the same realm, his power was terrifyingly strong.
Even the peak demigod of the Dushan clan, was beheaded by the opponent.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Such strength.
That is certainly not something to be taken lightly.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan shook his head slightly: "The geniuses of the myriad races across the heavens are as numerous as stars. Our clans would naturally have no problem competing with other clans, but if we were to clash with the gods who are above clans, we would be at a disadvantage from the very beginning."
Elder Xia's foundation was profound. Among those of the same realm, few could rival him, but if one looked at all the races across the heavens and myriad worlds, he still needed to be treated with caution.
Please note that the context ">" implies there's likely more content before and after. I've only translated what was explicitly provided within the markers.
Those top-tier prodigies of the divine race possessed god sovereign-level innate supernatural powers. While it wasn't a common occurrence for them to slay divine kings by defying their realms, it wasn't unheard of either.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
To sum up.
He let out a silent sigh in his heart.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
In all the heavens and myriad races, the fairest place lies here, and the most unjust place also lies here.
Here are a few ways to translate the phrase ">" into English:**Option 1 (Literal):*** "
"This option simply translates the HTML tag as is.Let me know if you have any other phrases you'd like translated!
Firstly, upon obtaining it, one's entire family prospers.
As long as a top expert is born in a clan, all the cultivators of that clan can benefit.
As the saying goes, "The strong will always be strong," which is exactly this principle.
Ordinary races need to pay a greater price than other races if they want to swim upstream, only then is there a chance of success.
Otherwise.
It’s not about going against the current, but rather maintaining one's original foundation and preventing it from deteriorating. That in itself is already quite good.
"How truly terrifying are those gods"
Elder Zhong Shan frowned and furrowed his brows.
The Protoss are high above, and normally wouldn't have much interaction with clans.
However.
Behind any powerful clan, there is basically the shadow of a divine race. Take the Zhongshan Clan as an example, there is actually the existence of a divine race behind it.
But.
Only the God King has the qualification to contact the Deities' Chosen.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Like an ordinary elder, he had no knowledge of the gods.
Every divine race can stand for millions of years without falling, it's not without reason. I, Zhongshan clan, will one day produce another divine master, enough to guarantee our clan's survival for millions of years.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan shook his head.
But he also knew, wanting to cultivate a God Master was an incredibly difficult feat.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Zhongshan clan has had no powerful figure at the level of a divine master for how many years, it is unknown.
Speaking of this.
This Sect Master Zhu Chong cast his gaze upon Zhong Shanxia, whose expression remained calm throughout.
“Now that the Divine Platform has appeared, all clans' attention is focused on it. If Elder Xia were to advance at this time, there would be much less resistance."
But if you could be promoted to the God King, no one in our clan would have a guarantee of leaving their name on the Divine Tablet.
Moreover, if you can leave your name on the Altar of Gods, you will gain an opportunity within. At that time, your foundation will definitely be more profound than it is now, and when you ascend to become a God King in the future, the benefits will also be greater.
Of course, it would be a good thing if our clan could produce another divine king.
>
So how to choose, it all depends on how you weigh things.
Upon hearing this.
Zhong Shanxia had no hesitation, and directly opened his mouth: "I want to go for a walk on the Fengshentai."
"Good!"
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan nodded, he wasn't surprised by the other party's decision.
Only true geniuses want to compare themselves with other geniuses.
Especially the Altar of Conferred Gods.
Being able to leave a name on it is not simply about fame spreading throughout the heavens and myriad races. The benefits one can obtain are also unimaginable.
> Besides——
A month later, a grand sect competition will be held, open to all who have reached the Divine Realm, regardless of their clan affiliation.
As long as they can win in the big match and make it into the top ten, everyone will receive key cultivation from the sect.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan continued.
Hearing this.
The other elders cupped their fists in salute to accept the order.
Not long after the emergence of the Sealing God Platform, news of the Sect Grand Competition spread throughout the ears of all disciples of the Candle Sect.
In the depths of Qifeng, Shen Changqing, who had been cultivating in quiet solitude, was also among the first to receive the news.
"A month later, the sect's grand competition!"
He looked a little strange.
It has been some time since the last Sect Grand Competition, and it's time to hold another one again.
And.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Unlike the past disciples' competitions, this time the sect competition only selects ten spots.
Compared to 100 spots offered through direct transmission, the ten spots directly cut down by ninety percent.
With so many disciples in the Zhúzhōng, a 90% reduction in enrollment means that many disciples will be eliminated.
Even.
Most disciples have little chance of making the top ten.
Generally speaking.
Shen Changqing wasn't involved in this grand competition. After all, he preferred to keep a low profile. Using the Zhongshan clan as a backing was the best way for him to develop steadily and securely.
But—
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Those who can enter the top ten will receive full cultivation from the Zhuzong.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
What does it mean to cultivate with all one's effort
In his view, full cultivation means having enough resources.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
What does one lack the most right now
Resources!
What can the Grand Competition of Sects offer
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Resources!
So.
After receiving the news, Shen Changqing already had the thought of participating in the grand competition.
However, the only thing he was concerned about was.
With his current Shinto realm, could he possibly secure a top ten ranking on the sect's vast land
He possesses a divine-level talent which is quite good.
In terms of cultivation realm, he has always remained at the fourth level of the Divine Realm.
Even with a god-level talent, it's impossible for someone at the fourth level of the Divine Realm to easily kill those at the ninth and tenth levels of the Divine Realm.
If one could wield their own martial arts power, that would be a different story.
>
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's all.
Martial arts must absolutely not be exposed.
The only convenience that can be borrowed is the original body's formidable defense.
> In addition.
That is the transformation that comes naturally to the flesh after the meridian channels are opened.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
But under the premise of not urging the secret to emerge, the changes brought by Zhong Zhou Tian would also be significantly weakened.
All in all.
With the foundation of his physical body perfected to the fifth level of the inner world, coupled with the divine ability bestowed by a deity-level talent, Shen Changqing was confident in suppressing ordinary gods at levels seven or eight. However, against those at the ninth level of the Divine Realm and above, his chances were slim.
Unless you've got all your cards on the table.
Moreover.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Candle Sect is not lacking in geniuses, especially those at the very top.
Like veteran disciples like Kong Zhou from Zhongshan, even at the ninth level of the Divine Realm, they were already not weaker than ordinary tenth-level Divine Realm cultivators.
Therefore.
If he were to face those geniuses who could withstand the might of God Realm Nine and Ten when they were at God Realm Eight, he wouldn't have a 100% chance of suppressing them.
"What a bother!"
At this thought, Shen Changqing let out a silent sigh.
All things considered.
Maybe my Shinto realm is just too low.
But if one could reach the sixth level of Shenjing, and combine it with a divine master-level heavenly talent divine ability, there would be a chance to win the top ten in the grand competition.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
There's no way.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He hadn't expected it at all.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Candle Sect will suddenly hold a grand competition.
If I had known this earlier, I would have sold the previous Pure Stone so readily and instead kept it to help me break through to the Divine Dao realm.
Two years of accumulation.
This is the translated text: ```html
```
Works in conjunction with the impurity removal effect of pure stone.
Ascending from the fourth to the fifth level of the Divine Realm is as simple as eating and drinking.
Without a Pure Cleansing Stone, at his current progress, Shen Changqing estimated that it would take at least a year for him to reach the fifth level of the Divine Realm.
In a year, from the completion of the fourth level of the Divine Realm to the fifth level, this speed can be considered very fast.
But—
Looking at the timeline again, this progress seems a bit slow.
For a moment.
He fell into deep thought.
That can be said.
The sudden sect competition organized by the Zhú Sect completely shattered Shen Changqing's original estimates.
According to his plan.
It should be entering the void battlefield and then obtaining a batch of military exploits, allowing oneself to collect resources for breaking through to the sixth heaven.
Little did I expect.
All races suddenly ceased hostilities, and the void battlefield also came to a standstill. Those who had hoped to enter the void battlefield and earn military merit saw their plans dashed.
That's it.
Shen Changqing couldn't help but sigh, the world is unpredictable.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Just then.
There was a slight tremor.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After his brain's meridians were opened, his perception greatly increased. Even without activating his hidden secrets, his level of perception was several times higher than before.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Therefore.
In the instant the ripples arrived, Shen Changqing roused from his contemplation and turned his head toward a certain direction.
Next.
He rose from his seat and bowed.
"Greetings, Master!"
No need for formalities.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan's voice was calm, and as he spoke, his gaze fell upon the person before him.
Long time after.
A look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Your physical body seems to have grown a lot. Even an ordinary late-stage Divine Realm cultivator wouldn't have such a powerful physique!"
With the keen eyesight of a god king, one could naturally see the changes in Shen Changqing's flesh and blood.
Last time we met.
