Chapter 208: A Slight Miss From the Barbarian Tribe
looked at the situation before him.One day, Fu Yue was entangled by the sword-wielding old man.A Feiyun was entangled by Xun Qu.One Xiao An crossed paths with Yun Dingtian of the Qingyu Sect.>Let me...Several days.
Shen Changqing remained reclusive, never leaving his residence. He diligently contemplated the techniques of the demonic tribe and the Black Demon race.
"The Demon Clan and the Black Demon God Clan, as expected of ancient races, their magical arts are indeed exquisite."
Especially the Black Demon God clan, their methods are somewhat similar to the Longevity Dao created by Dongfang Zhao, but they are much more refined.
>
Putting down the jade in his hand, he had a look of contemplation on his face.
Regardless of whether it's other races or the human race, all cultivation paths come to a halt at the Divine Realm and the Heavenly Cave Realm.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Since the days of the heavenly cave, simple recorded methods have been completely ineffective.
The higher realm.
All of these involve laws and rules.
The laws and principles are profound and mysterious, beyond human articulation. They can only be comprehended through one's own inner realization.
This way.
Then there is no systematic cultivation method.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To be straightforward.
All cultivation techniques primarily serve to lay the foundation, in order to help cultivators clarify the path they will take in the future.
Once the foundation is laid, so-called martial arts techniques will naturally have little effect.
But.
That being said.
But the foundation method remains the most important.
Because it is the foundation of all races and a ladder for the strong to reach higher realms.
If a clan cannot pass on its martial arts, then no strong warriors can be born from that race.
That was how the human race used to be.
After the lineage was broken ten thousand years ago, no one powerful enough to stand on stage appeared again.
"If the Black Demon God Clan's magical arts were given to Dongfang Zhao, it would be of great help to him in establishing the Path of Immortality. With one more path available to the human race, there could be more powerful beings in the future."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If one truly desires a flourishing world, then it is the time when all flowers bloom together.
Shen Changqing smiled slightly.
Although the Human race now possesses the Martial Arts Compendium, with a complete set of methods for martial arts cultivation.
However.
Martial arts are not suitable for everyone.
Therefore.
If one could truly achieve a flourishing of all kinds of talents, the strong individuals among humanity would undoubtedly emerge endlessly.
He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip, and shook his head. "Speaking of which, with the decline of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, even spirit tea has lost its premium quality. It seems I need to find some better spirit tea."
Drinking tea is a way to cultivate one's temperament.
In daily life.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Shen Changqing was quite interested in this.
But the spirit tea within the Demonic Suppression Division, to him now, was no different from ordinary tea leaves.
Unfortunately.
Among all the harvests, Shen Changqing did not find any decent spirit tea. Instead, he found a variety of materials.
As if struck by a sudden thought, he flipped his palm and a golden crystal materialized there.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The golden crystal burst forth with a divine and majestic aura as soon as it appeared.
But in the instant of its explosive release.
Shen Changqing directly suppressed that aura.
"Speaking of it, this Sun and Moon God Country still needs to be dealt with sometime."
The Country of Sun and Moon has always been kept within his physical chaos. Later, when he was opening up the celestial realms, he also specifically preserved the Country of Sun and Moon.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Now.
The chaotic energy shattered, transforming into a celestial aperture three zhang in diameter.
Since then, the sun and moon kingdom has remained in the cave heaven, not moving an inch.
Such a treasure.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Wherever it is placed, it will be the object of desire for all races.
After all, as long as the complete Divine Core is refined, it will be able to achieve 100% success in becoming the Sun Moon God King.
An ordinary monk.
To prove oneself as the God King, it would be impossible even if one spent their whole life trying.
Even among the most talented of all races, it is questionable whether anyone can achieve the status of a God King with complete certainty.
Let alone.
After refining the core of the Divine Nation, what was achieved was the Sun Moon God King, not the Heaven Earth God King.
In this way, the value is immeasurable.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
However—
If he could choose, Shen Changqing would rather use this country of the Sun and Moon to give birth to a Sun and Moon God-King for the human race.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"But with the current state of the human race, I'm afraid no one will be able to refine the Sun and Moon God Country..."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He let out a heavy sigh.
The core of the divine realm is not something that everyone can refine.
At the very least, you have to be able to withstand the pressure of the divine core.
Otherwise.
Just touching the core of the divine realm could shatter one's soul with its immense power, leading to a direct demise in the underworld.
Therefore, even if one possesses a treasure, they must also have the strength to match it, otherwise, the treasure could become a deadly poison.
To refine the core of the Sun and Moon Divine Country, one would need at least the strength of a god.
And.
>
It's not as simple as a typical divine realm.
It must be after the God Realm's higher stage.
Shen Changqing looked back over his memories of all things human, the only one that could lead him into a state of profound contemplation was Dongfang Zhao.
But the other party practices a self-created Longevity Dao. They likely don't need the Divine Nation Core.
The rest.
That's simply the savage, primal deity itself.
"This person is also arrogant and conceited. Whether he is willing to accept the core of the divine country is another question. Besides, it's still necessary to consider giving him a core of the divine country for nothing."
Shen Changqing twirled the golden crystal, thinking silently.
To put it simply.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
He's not particularly close with the God of War, at most they have some acquaintanceship.
In this situation, it would be a waste to just give away such a precious treasure as the Divine Nation's core.
Although the barbarians and humans are currently in an alliance, they still remain as two separate factions.
That is so.
It's even less likely that they would carelessly give the core of the divine kingdom to the other side.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The core purpose of the God Nation is to strengthen humanity, not to divide it. This point is especially important.
“Alright, let's put the Divine Kingdom core aside for now and talk about it later.”
Shen Changqing put the Divine Country Core away again, then got up and left.
"Shen Zhen Shou has arrived."
>
In another courtyard, Dong Fang Zhao looked at the newcomers and smiled faintly.
>
“Here is something for you, it might be of some use to your longevity.”
Shen Changqing cut to the chase and directly threw the jade containing the black demon god clan's magic techniques.
>
Dongfang Zhao reached out his hand to catch it.
He wasted no time and immediately focused his attention on the task at hand.
A moment later.
When Dongfang's divine consciousness withdrew from the jade, his face was filled with astonishment. "Shen Zhen Shou, where did this thing come from"
The forbidden magic of the dark demon race held him captive.
It's hard to imagine.
It’s unbelievable that there are cultivation methods that resemble one's own path to immortality.
The only difference is.
The methods within jade are quite evil and vicious, relying on other living beings as nourishment to sustain themselves. In contrast, the path of longevity fundamentally relies on celestial qi.
>
This is the biggest difference between the two.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However.
One thing that can be confirmed about the Eastern Mandate is that this method is of great benefit to the Longevity Dao that I cultivate.
If one could fully comprehend and learn from it, the path of longevity might have a direct possibility of being perfected.
Such a coincidence, it's truly amazing.
This is the cultivation method of the Black Demon God Clan. This clan is considered top-tier among all heavens, and although their number of beings is scarce, each one possesses formidable strength. It is rumored that even the weakest member of the true Black Demon God Clan is at the level of a God King.
"Not long ago, I received this method and immediately realized that it was quite similar to the path of longevity you are pursuing, so I am sharing it with you."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing said lightly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Hearing this.
Dongfang Zhao took a deep breath, clenching the jade tighter: "The magic of the Black Demon Race...Zhao thanks Shen Zhenhou for this!"
After saying that, he bowed deeply.
This has nothing to do with status or social standing, it's simply gratitude for the other party giving themselves this opportunity.
The Black Demon Clan's methods, if they fell into the hands of others, would be equivalent to obtaining a supreme skill that directly pointed towards the realm of gods.
But falling into the hands of Dongfang Zuo, it is equivalent to a crucial nutrient for perfecting one's own Great Dao.
The former is walking someone else's path, the latter is carving one's own.
between the two.
That is completely different.
Shen Changqing didn't refuse, but calmly accepted the other party's courtesy.
If one helps the Black Demon God Clan with their cultivation methods to help them achieve enlightenment in the future, then receiving a gift as a gesture of thanks would be perfectly normal.
> One courtesy visit later.
Dongfang Zhao stood up straight and asked seriously, "Have Wuhuang and Tan Tianji already been killed by Shen Zhen"
He still needs to confirm this matter.
"The Human race has no more Martial Emperors or Tan Tianji. There is only the Heavenly Mechanism Daoist of the Demonic Beast Clan, and Taishan of the Dark Demon God Clan."
"Tiānjī Dào rén, Tàishān…"
Dongfang Zhao's expression changed, and he immediately heard the subtext in the other person's words.
Shen Changqing said, "It is rumored that the Martial Emperor entered the Eternal Life Alliance at the suggestion of Yang Hou, the former Grand Master of the Demon Suppression Division. According to my observations, he shouldn't be lying about this matter, so I gave him a chance."
Especially now that he possesses the identity of a Black Demon God, if he can wield it well, it would be a great help to our human race.
As for Tan Tianji, he can be considered to have followed Wu Huang.
Yang Hou!
Upon hearing this name, Dongfang Zhao's heart trembled violently.
“Lord Yang...”
Suddenly, he understood some things.
Before hearing the name of Lord Yang, Dongfang Zhao couldn't be sure of anything. But after hearing this name, many things became clear.
Immediately.
Dongfang Zhao shook his head and smiled wryly: "I said that although Emperor Wu is obsessed with cultivation, he also cares about the righteousness of the human race. Why did he suddenly defect to the demons and become the leader of the Eternal Life Alliance"
"So it was Yang Zun who arranged this all along..."
The purpose of having Wuhhuang infiltrate the demon's inner circle is self-evident.
Otherwise.
With the talent of the Martial Emperor, the Human Race would definitely have one more top-tier powerhouse.
But.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Eastern Emperor also had some concerns: "The current situation of the human race is not suitable for exposure. Shen Zhen's move is rather risky"
He was a bit worried that the two of them might leak information about humans.
Although Dongfang Zhao understood that the other party's demonic possession was arranged by Yang Hou, human nature is fickle. He couldn't be certain if the person would remain loyal to the human race.
In this way.
It's like betting on the entire human race.
Such actions are not in line with his style.
After all, the human race can't afford to lose now. If they lose, it will be the end of their entire race.
Shen Changqing said: "You can rest assured about this. I have already placed restrictions on the two of them. As long as they dare to leak the whereabouts of the human race, the restrictions will directly silence them."
"That's good."
Dong Fang Zuo nodded slightly.
Since the other party said that, they must be absolutely confident.
What I said before was just a reminder.
At this very moment.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Someone came in from outside, cupped their fist and said, “Eastern Guard, someone has arrived at the palace.”
After finishing his words, he saw the people beside him and hurriedly bowed: "Greetings to General Shen!"
"Okay, I know about this. Let him come in."
The Eastern Emperor waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, the man respectfully withdrew.
In the courtyard.
Shen Changqing smiled faintly: "Your Majesty sent someone here, it seems there is something important to discuss. Should I step aside"
He had already sensed Wugan waiting silently outside.
That was Gu Xing's personal eunuch. He wouldn't come in person unless it was important.
"Shen Zhen shou laughed."
The Eastern Emperor smiled helplessly.
Avoidance
What is there about humanity that others need to avoid
Not long after.
Wu Gan walked in from outside. When he saw Shen Changqing present, his face froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
>
"Seen Shen Zhen Shou, seen Dongfang Zhen Shou!"
He bowed solemnly.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although I am a favorite of Gu Xing, the two people in front of me are not ordinary.
The former was the General of Great Qin, while the latter held power over the Demon Suppression Bureau.
No matter when.
The Demon Suppression Division has the greatest authority among institutions below the imperial family.
As the head of the Demon Suppression Department, he could be said to be second only to the emperor.
The garrison commander of the Great Qin State needn't even be mentioned.
Wu Gan, of course, dared not show any disrespect.
Otherwise.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Even if he was a favorite of the emperor, he couldn't afford to get too complacent.
"Father-in-law suddenly arrived, but what's the matter"
The Eastern Emperor opened his mouth and asked,
Wu Gan stood up and smiled, “The Emperor has summoned you. He said there's important business to discuss with Dongfang Zhen Shou and Shen Zhen Shou in the palace. I originally intended to notify Dongfang Zhen Shou first, and then go to inform Shen Zhen Shou, but unexpectedly, both of you are here. This saves us a trip.”
"No problem, when"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At this moment, I wonder if both of you are available
Wu Gan tentatively asked.
To the East, the decree did not speak, but looked to the person beside him.
To this, Shen Changqing smiled faintly: "Your Majesty has ordered it, so Shen will have to visit the palace."
The Palace.
In the Imperial study.
Gu Xing, clad in a black and gold imperial robe, sat majestically at the head of the table. To his left and right sat Shen Changqing and Dongfang Zhao.
“Today, I have summoned both of you to the palace to discuss unifying all human tribes under the Great Qin and establishing a human imperial court.”
“Your Majesty has long since made a decision on this matter, and I have no objections whatsoever.”
The Eastern Emperor spoke first.
Then.
Shen Changqing just asked: "There is one thing I am more curious about, Your Majesty, how did you think of establishing the Human Royal Court"
During their conversation, he turned his gaze to Gu Xing, who was seated at the head of the table.
The other party's news about the human imperial court, I had long been suspicious of it.
Gu Xing heard this and didn't hide anything: "To be honest with Shen Zhen, there have always been records about the Human Race Imperial Court within the Qin imperial family. It is rumored that after the human race unified the world, they could use the celestial energy to achieve the Imperial Court."
Thus, the human race may now flourish.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Unfortunately, since its founding, the Qin Empire has suffered many setbacks and has not truly achieved unification.
"It is only now that a semblance of unity has been achieved. Therefore, I intend to seize this opportunity to establish the imperial court and revitalize humanity."
"Does Your Majesty mean that there were records of the Human Imperial Court in Qin already"
Shen Changqing's expression changed slightly.
>
The other party's words confirmed one of his guesses.
That's not just a coincidence, the Qin Dynasty setting up a human empire was something that had been rumored for a long time.
"It seems the powerful beings who left humans here back then were likely from the Human Royal Court era."
Shen Changqing muttered to himself.
When Gu Xing heard this, a curious expression appeared on his face: "Could it be that Shen Zhen has heard of the Human Imperial Court"
He thought this was a secret of the Qin imperial family.
Unexpectedly.
The other party actually knew too.
When Shen Changqing heard this, he didn't deny it: "The Human Imperial Court actually existed tens of millions of years ago. It was rumored that at that time, the Human Imperial Court was the most glorious era for the human race, suppressing all heavenly and earthly races."
Later, when hordes of different races attacked, the imperial court was finally brought down.
After the fall of the imperial court, the human race was hunted by countless races from all heavens. Until now, there is no trace of any humans left in all the heavens.
To the best of my knowledge, the only known human beings exist within the restricted zone.
"The Death Forbidden Zone is an extremely dangerous place in the heavens, and even a God King could fall if they weren't careful. Normally, our human race wouldn't exist here. It must mean that a powerful being once moved our people here."
At the same time, the powerful formations existing outside of heaven and earth also indirectly illustrate this point.”
Shen Changqing told everyone everything he knew.
Then.
He added another sentence.
“At first, I was curious about what kind of powerful being placed the human race here. But considering that the Qin imperial family possesses legends about a Human Imperial Court, the powerful being who relocated the humans here must have existed during the period of the Imperial Court.”
"Indeed!"
Dongfang Zhao's face was filled with emotion.
Gu Xing was lost in thought.
“Although I am not very familiar with the Human Royal Court, I understand that establishing a true ruler for the human race is necessary. Right now, although Qin wants to establish the Human Royal Court, it still lacks something.”
"What was Shen Zhenhou thinking he was missing"
"Barbarians."
"Barbarians"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gu Xing frowned.
He didn't expect this.
After all, humans are humans, and barbarians are barbarians. Strictly speaking, the two are not the same race.
Shen Changqing said, "Although the barbarian race is different from the human race, they were created by the Barbarian God. And the barbarians are truly the human race. If the Barbarian God does not surrender, can the Human Emperor's Court be considered complete"
Besides, a prestigious imperial court that cannot unify the land and bring peace under its banner, what right does it have to call itself an imperial court
Therefore, the Qin Dynasty had to establish its imperial court; it needed to first reconquer the barbarian tribes. Only then would the celestial and terrestrial energies fully converge upon the Qin.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Shen Zhen shou's words make sense."
The eastern emperor nodded in agreement.
Although he wasn't very familiar with the Human Royal Court, the current celestial energy of heaven and earth wasn't entirely focused on the Qin Dynasty. The barbarian tribes had also gotten a share of it.
To gather the Qi of Heaven and Earth and recover the barbarian lands is a necessity.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If it can't be recovered.
Then we can only take action to eliminate it.
Only then.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Only then can one truly control the Qi of Heaven and Earth, holding it all within the grasp of the Qin Dynasty.
Gu Xing pondered for a moment, then said: "The Man God is an ancient divine being with a lofty spirit and pride. He may not be willing to submit to my great Qin."
>
“Matters concerning barbarians, I shall handle them myself. Although the Barbarian God is arrogant, I believe he is also a man of discretion. If he persists in his folly, there is nothing more to be said.”
>
Shen Changqing spoke without changing his expression.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If the Man God truly would rather die than yield, then there's nothing more to be said.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Imperial Court has been established, greatly benefiting humanity.
He who stands in the way of mankind shall be destroyed.
Of course.
He believes even the Man God couldn't be so stubborn.
After all, the other party would likely agree to something that benefits humanity.
Even if they had initially disagreed, it could only be explained that the Qin Dynasty's strength was insufficient to force their submission. However, things are different now.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xing's heart was set. He smiled and said, "With Shen Zhen guarding the front, I think there will be no problem with this matter. However, I wonder what Shen Zhen suggests about the increasingly thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth"
“The spiritual energy is thin because the ancestral lineage is broken, and I have already received a method to restore it.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Furthermore, I still have a batch of Spirit Vein Hearts in my possession. Even if the ancestral vein cannot be repaired, relying on the power of the Spirit Vein Hearts, it is believed that maintaining the human race's spiritual energy for ten thousand years would not be a major issue.
Ten thousand years.
He now has everything he needs to gather the Dragonheart and restore the world.
>
Then again.
Perhaps the dragon pulse within me can be used to repair our ancestral lineage.
All in all, repairing the ancestral lineage is not a big problem, it just takes time.
Upon hearing this.
The heart that had been hanging in ancient times was finally put down.
"To have Shen Zhen guarding the human race is a truly immense blessing. I, on the other hand, feel rather ashamed!"
He sighed.
As the First Emperor of Qin, there were truly not many things I could do.
Whether it was the threat of the demon clan before, or the current issue of ancestral lineages, everything was solved by that one person.
On the contrary.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The influence that one person can have within their own race is negligible.
>
Such a large race, all hope rests on one person. To say it's not shameful is a lie.
"The fall of the human race is not solely the fault of Your Majesty, so there's no need to dwell on it too much."
Shen Changqing shook his head.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Back then, when he was weak, there were powerful human beings who stood in the front and took on the pressure. Now that he is strong, it is natural for him to come forward and protect humanity.
The fire is passed down from generation to generation.
Only then can there be endless life.
This is an inevitable process in racial heritage, no one can go against it.
>
Today, there is a Chen Changqing. Tomorrow, there will be a second Chen Changqing, and then a third.
“Your Majesty, you can rest assured and handle matters in the imperial court. The rest will be taken care of by me.”
“Thank you for your watch, Shen!”
> Half a day later.
Shen Changqing and Dongfang Zhao, the two of them, left the Imperial Palace.
The main purpose of this summoning by Emperor Gu Xing was to discuss matters concerning the Imperial Court.
Now that the problem has been solved, all that remains is to proceed step by step according to the original plan.
After returning to the Demon Suppression Division.
He handed over several storage rings to Dongfang Zhao.
"These are some resources I acquired during the time when I slaughtered countless races. They hold no use for me now, so I'll leave them to Dongfang to handle."
"I believe that after digesting these resources, it will also increase the strength of humanity."
Dongfang Zhao looked at the storage ring in his hand. Although it was his first time encountering such a thing, he could sense that there was a vast space within it.
Divine sense descends.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Everything inside the ring was now visible to him.
Once the divine sense withdrew, the face of this magistrate of the Demon Suppression Division became extremely solemn.
“The imperial edict thanks General Shen Zhen for his service!”
Although I only recognize a small number of things in there.
They are simply those whom I know, if placed among humans they would be invaluable treasures.
Although most of the others were unfamiliar, from the surging energy emanating from them, one could tell these things were extraordinary.
Therefore, it can be deduced.
The resources contained within the dozen or so storage rings are simply immeasurable in value.
