Chapter 139 to 40: Key of Qi Circulation >

Huang gripped the Bone God Staff, a terrifying aura that didn't belong to a Divine Lord of the third level erupted from his body, making his expression frighteningly calm.Shen Changqing looked at the...The body of the Thunder Spirit, the God King, was engulfed by the river of stars. The surging water eroded and forcefully obliterated its form.

When the Milky Way fades away.

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

Only a single bolt of lightning, brimming with powerful energy, remained.

Shen Changqing reached out and directly put the lightning essence into his storage ring, then his figure disappeared.

From beginning to end.

He didn't intend to share the thunder essence of the Thunder God King.

Although.

When entering Leiyu Valley, I made a pact with Zhong Shan Kong Zhou. If we joined forces to kill the God King Lei Ling, the Lei Jing would be split equally between us.

The problem now is:

It wasn't that I, myself, teamed up with Zhongshan Kong Zhou to kill the God King Lei Ling.

That's it. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Since Lei Jing didn't need to be divided equally, there was no need for a fair share.

The Thunder Spirit, the Divine King, has fallen!

Although Zhong Shan Kong Zhou couldn't see the battlefield, he could clearly feel that the aura of God King Lei Ling had disappeared.

The breath disappeared.

It is explained that it has fallen.

Who killed the God King Lei Ling is self-evident.

Immediately.

He didn't say a word, just turned and walked away.

This battle.

This made Zhōngshān Kǒngzhōu realize that his strength ultimately fell short, and the gap between him and Shěn Chángqīng had widened even further.

At least during his time in the Heavenly Domain, he was confident he could strike a 3:7 deal with him.

But now.

There is no chance of winning anymore.

Realizing his own shortcomings, he wasn't discouraged at all. Instead, a fighting spirit was rising within him.

Without Mount Zhongshan, there is another target to pursue.

Here is the translation of your text:

After Kong Zhou left Zhōngshān, the other cultivators all had complex expressions.

They had a deep understanding of the vast gulf that separated them, despite both being young members of the Zhongshan clan.

The strength of the Thunder Spirit King is well known to these cultivators.

Even when everyone teamed up, they couldn't do anything to him.

Such a strong person.

...but was slain by Shen Changqing.

>

One's strength is self-evident.

Finally.

All cultivators dispersed.

There were no superfluous words.

>

There's no way.

This battle dealt a severe blow to their confidence.

Understanding each other's gaps, all there is in one's heart is the thought of catching up. Instead of wasting time talking nonsense, it's better to seize the time and improve a few points of strength.

"The Thunder God, Lei Ling, has fallen!"

The moment the divine king Leiling fell, Zhuchuang had already sensed it inside the main hall.

> Subsequently.

And he closed his eyes and calculated for two more minutes.

His eyes opened suddenly, a hint of surprise in them.

"Zhong Shan Qiu was able to kill the God King Lei Ling, his strength has risen too quickly, hasn't it!"

The Candle Emperor surely remembers that the other party was only at the seventh level of the Divine Realm when they entered the Thunder Prison Valley.

One year.

Even if the opponent depletes all resources, at best they would reach the eighth or ninth level of the Divine Realm.

With such strength, capable of wielding power comparable to a god king, they can rightfully be called a prodigious talent.

If one could slay the God King, even a typical prodigy would likely be inferior.

Heaven's Chosen!

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

It takes more than just being a genius to be called a prodigy.

In the Candle Emperor's view.

Over the millennia of the Zhōngshān clan, there were only two who could truly be called geniuses.

One is Zhongshan's failed ascent.

First, it is Zhongshan Xia.

Unfortunately, the former has already perished, and the latter entered the chaotic forbidden zone. To this day, its current situation remains unknown.

But now.

The Zhōngshān clan will have one more heaven's pride.

A monstrous genius who, at the cultivation level of eight or nine realms of the Divine Realm, could slay a God King Thunder Spirit.

Zhong Shan Dong Xuan's expression also fluctuated slightly: "Such a monstrous talent appearing in my Zhongshan clan at this time, it seems that in this great struggle, our clan should prosper greatly!"

If Zhong Shan had not been born early or late, it would have been best.

It wasn't until the emergence of the Shentai Platform and the dawn of a great era of contention that he finally revealed the sharp edge befitting a heavenly prodigy.

In his view, this was a hint from heaven.

For the Zhōngshān clan to rise in this era of great turmoil, there is a high probability that it will rely on these prodigies.

Look upon the myriad celestial races.

Except for those divine clans with a god presiding over them.

Among the rest of the clans, while there were many talented individuals, few could be considered prodigies.

The Candle Emperor said: "On the Divine Ranking list of ten thousand places, how many can our clans contend for Now our clan has two heavenly prodigies alive. On the Divine Realm list, if nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to enter the Divine Altar and leave their names on the Divine Ranking."

Whether the rest can succeed in entering the Hall of Fame and becoming immortals is still a question.

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

“A world of great competition is like a storm that sifts the sands, allowing only the strongest to stand out. Those who emerge from among many disciples are undoubtedly talented and capable. Why not let them all try Perhaps some will achieve greatness.”

If it doesn't work out, then so be it.

>

Zhong Shan Dong Xuan's expression remained calm.

No one can guarantee that they will definitely be able to enter the Hall of Fame and leave their name on the list of gods.

Although every entry into the Heavenly Path comes at a great cost, if among a dozen or so cultivators, one can ascend to the Divine Throne, then the price is well worth it.

In the beginning.

In his view, the only cultivator who could be fully enshrined on the Divine Platform was Zhong Shanxia.

Even Shen Changqing, wouldn't necessarily be able to succeed one hundred percent.

To put it simply.

Although the opponent displayed impressive talent and potential, their realm was too weak. It's important to remember that every genius who enters the Sealing God Stage is capable of challenging higher levels. The gap between realms often proves insurmountable.

Even if you forcefully use resources to elevate the opponent's realm, it will be difficult to change anything.

compared to the real steady and solid approach.

Resource accumulation alone does not breed strength, as its foundation is often superficial.

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

Even if one's realm is elevated, how much true strength can be enhanced remains a question.

But things are different now.

Shen Changqing being able to slay the God King Lei Ling indicates that the latter already possessed the combat strength of a God King.

Divine King-level combat power.

As expected, he is definitely a Heaven's Pride who can ascend to the Divine Altar.

And.

The other party should not have reached the limit of the God Realm yet, indicating that there is still room for growth.

When its true divine realm is complete, its power will only become even more terrifying.

"A tiger father has no weak son. Zhong Shan Bai Yue is a genius, and his son is also a genius. It seems that this lineage is very good. If he can leave behind his bloodline, it would be quite good as well."

Zhong Shan Dong Xuan thought of other aspects.

The bloodline of the strong is passed down.

Talent is something that can be inherited.

Just like Zhongshan Baizhu is known as a prodigy, the opponent's son is also considered a prodigy.

If Zhong Shanchou could leave behind bloodline, and his descendants were cultivated properly, there would be a certain possibility of another prodigy emerging.

Of course.

These probabilistic issues are not one hundred percent.

However it may be.

The bloodline left behind by a Heavenly Prodigy, there's no way it could be mediocre.

Now there are only two questions left.

First, whether Zhong Shan is willing to leave behind his bloodline. Second, which young female talent in the Zhong Shan clan is worthy of him.

The Candle Emperor heard this, his expression flickered for a moment before he nodded in deep understanding.

“Donghuang Shenwang’s idea isn’t bad. Judging from their two generations, this lineage is truly good. If they could leave behind descendants, it would only be beneficial for the Yu clan in the future.”

As for a suitable spouse, that's rather troublesome.

His brows furrowed.

There are many women in the Zhōngshān clan, but it is difficult to find one who matches her talent.

After all, if the other half is insufficiently talented, the offspring born may not be able to fully inherit the talents of a prodigy.

Moreover.

Without enough talent, even as a renowned prodigy like Zhong Shan's sworn enemy, one might not be considered worthy of attention.

This is a simple example of what I can do.

for a moment.

Two divine kings fell into deep thought.

In the depths of Leiyu Valley.

After killing the Thunder Spirit, the Divine King, Shen Changqing immediately found a suitable place and prepared to refine the Thunder Essence.

> The previous battle.

He appears to have no injuries on the surface.

But in reality, the physical injuries were quite severe.

After all, enduring the full force of the God King's thunder spirit was a feat even with the physique of a Seventh Heaven expert and a connected meridian system. Even with such strength, it was impossible for him to completely disregard the power of the God King's attacks.

Therefore, under that full-power strike, Shen Changqing was already severely injured.

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

He was just bearing the pain and didn't show it.

Now.

Having found a suitable place, Shen Changqing made no attempt to hide anything.

The healing flesh.

Once again, it burst apart violently.

>

The power of thunder within continues to rage, ceaselessly destroying flesh and preventing the body's natural healing.

“Before refining the lightning essence, I need to recover from my injuries first!”

Feeling the remaining power of the divine king's lightning spirit within his flesh, Shen Changqing sighed.

I won't compete with the God King.

I will never be able to understand the power of the God King.

That battle seemed like he was completely dominating the Thunder God, Lei Ling, but it wasn't actually like that.

Before he took action, the Thunder God had already fallen short of his full power. The subsequent battle was equally perilous and dangerous.

One can win on their own.

It was all thanks to his powerful physique.

Otherwise.

At the very beginning, one must declare defeat.

After understanding this, Shen Changqing became even more convinced of the martial way.

He was very clear.

I'm not able to wield the power rivaling that of a god king because my cultivation has reached the peak of the Eighth Stage of the Divine Realm, nor because I possess a divine master-level talent or divine ability, nor because I have mastered the laws of divine powers.

>

Everything is because of the incomparable physical body.

Before absolute power.

Any means are futile.

>

“If I abandon the power of Shinto, and awaken all the hidden powers, suppressing the Divine King's Thunder Spirit would surely be much easier!”

Shen Changqing's heart was racing.

It's a pity that he can't use his hidden power right now.

Once the hidden power is unleashed, Zhong Shanchou's identity will be completely useless. Even if he possesses power comparable to a god king at that time, it is likely that there will be little chance of survival.

After all—

The gap between a god king and an ordinary god is enormous.

Shen Changqing could contend against ordinary Heavenly God Kings, but he had no confidence in facing top-tier Heavenly God Kings.

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

To say nothing of.

Above the Heavenly God King, there are Sun-Moon God Kings. Above the Sun-Moon God Kings are the Cosmos God King and the Rule God King.

Besides.

The powerhouse who once calculated his own strength, he suspected that it might not be as simple as just the Divine King realm.

How to do this is yet to be determined.

Now danger is everywhere.

Based on my current capabilities, I don't have confidence in ensuring my own safety.

Immediately.

Shen Changqing stopped thinking about it and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, recovering from his injuries.

Although Leiyu Valley is under the pressure of a divine master, the spiritual energy is indeed very rich.

Massive spiritual energy was being drawn in.

The power of the God King that remained on his body was slowly dissipating.

Very soon.

Two months have already passed.

When the last bolt of thunder dissipated, even the residual power of the God King Lei Ling was completely dispelled.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Buzz—

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

Without the interference of the Divine King's power, the physical body immediately began to recover itself.

In just a few breaths.

The physical body has completely recovered to its original state.

Shen Changqing let out a breath of relief: “The remaining power of the God King is truly troublesome. It took so long to finally drive all this power away.”

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

Although the Thunder Spirit, the God King, was slain.

But the remnants of the opponent's power were only just now being thoroughly dispersed.

That can be said.

The God King's troublesome nature gave him another layer of understanding.

With the injuries healed, the next step is to refine the Thunder Essence.

Shen Changqing took out the lightning essence of the God King level from his storage ring. The fist-sized purple stone was surrounded by terrifying thunder, radiating a chilling aura.

When his gaze turned to the Lei Jing, he could see the phantom of the Thunder Spirit King within it.

But it's different.

At this time, the phantom of the Thunder Spirit King was filled with only rage, devoid of any intelligence.

"A thunder essence at the level of a God King, containing all the power of the God King Thunder Spirit within it. Refining it, I wonder if it could be enough to ascend to the eighth level of the Cave Heaven realm!"

Holding the Lei Jing, Shen Changqing could feel the vast and boundless power within it.

After all, it contains the full power of a god king, how could it be ordinary.

Calm down.

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

He began to absorb the energy from the lightning essence.

>

That moment.

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

Shen Changqing was shocked.

Although I had long understood that the Thunder King's essence would be far stronger than ordinary thunder essences.

It's only when you truly absorb it that you understand the terrifying power contained within the Thunder King's Essence.

Divine Lightning Essence.

It has absolutely no qualification to compare with it.

During this period, Shen Changqing devoted all his energy to refining the Divine King Lightning Essence.

>

With the fall of the Thunder Spirit God King.

The dangers of Leiyukou Valley have been reduced to the extreme.

All cultivators were, almost to a person, hunting down Lei Spirits with all their might in order to obtain the Lei Essence and temper their physiques.

A few months.

In the blink of an eye, it is gone.

This is the day.

A grand voice reverberated from the Thunder Prison Valley, reaching the ears of all the cultivators.

"After a year and a half, all cultivators may leave the Leiyù Valley!"

Upon hearing this.

Those cultivators all hurried out of Leiyu Valley.

"Is it time"

Shen Changqing opened his tightly closed eyes.

He didn't expect that a few months would pass so quickly.

When he looked down at his palm, the energy of the lightning god king hadn't been completely refined, but what remained was not much.

After that, Shen Changqing sank his mind back into his own flesh.

One could only see a vast collection, like countless stars.

Within just a few months, he expanded upon his existing foundation, uncovering thousands more hidden chambers. This allowed him to successfully reach the late stage of the seventh level of the Cave Heaven realm.

The content within the triple angle brackets is `

` so it's translated to:

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

Although I haven't entered the Eightfold Heaven, I'm not far off.

As for the energy left behind by the Thunder Essence of the Divine King, Shen Changqing didn't care much about it.

That energy.

At most, it can only open up a few more hidden chambers, but to break through to the eighth level of the cave heaven, there is still a long way to go.

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

Unless.

If he could get another piece of the Divine King's Thunder Essence, then he would be confident in entering the Eighth Heaven of the Cave.

Although I haven't reached the eighth heaven of the Cave of Heaven, nor have I completed a new cycle of the Middle Zhoutian, my current strength is significantly stronger compared to when I killed the Divine King Lei Ling.

"Even if we were to fight them again, even at the peak of their power, the God King Rael could still potentially kill them instantly."

Shen Changqing secretly thought.

He has such confidence.

After clashing with the God King, I have gained a certain understanding of his power level.

But.

The Thunder God Spirit King is still a little different from the true God Kings of the outside world.

The biggest difference.

He is the God King Lei Ling, who has never possessed a divine kingdom and cannot, like other God Kings, be reborn continuously as long as their divine kingdom exists.

If it were any other god king, the difficulty would only be greater than God King Lei Ling.

Of course.

However, it's a pain.

But Shen Changqing was confident that he would not be inferior to an ordinary Heavenly God King.

Outside of the Leiyu Valley.

Zhong Shan Chang Hong had already been waiting there, watching one by one cultivators emerge from Lei Yu Valley.

As soon as Shen Changqing came out, he directly drove the long boat towards the ancestral hall.

The long boat cuts through the air swiftly.

When we got to the front of the main hall, we just stopped.

“Well, folks, I'll leave you to it.”

Zhong Shanchang smiled faintly.

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

Upon hearing this.

The other cultivators didn't say anything either. They simply said thanks and disembarked the long boat, walking towards the main hall.

>In the main hall.

Two divine kings still sat there.

All cultivators bowed in unison: "Greetings, Your Majesty, Greetings to the Eastern Profound God King!"

"You're welcome."

>

"Thank Your Majesty!"

In the main hall.

Zhong Shandong Xuan said, "In one month, Fengshentai will be officially closed. At that time, no one will be able to enter Tongtian Road and ascend Fengshentai. If you want to enter again, you must wait fifty years later."

If in the past, fifty years were but a fleeting moment.

But now in this age of great contention, fifty years is enough to change the landscape of all heavenly and earthly races.

The latest news coming from the divine realm is that only a tenth of the 10,000 spots on the Divine List have been filled. The rest have already been claimed by talented individuals from various races. The time left for our Zhongshan clan is running out.

Less than one-tenth.

>

Of the 10,000 spots, over nine thousand have already been taken by strong contenders.

Although they hadn't broken through the Heavenly Road themselves, from the words of the Divine King, they could understand how difficult it was to pierce through the Heavenly Road.

>

That's exactly right.

This section provides a glimpse into the vast number of prodigies existing across all celestial races.

This is the time.

As soon as Emperor Zhu thought, a terrifying power surged in the hall. A horrifying phantom appeared above the ground, resembling a human figure wreathed in candlelight, with a dragon's head for a torso.

"What is this!"

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

All the cultivators present remained unmoved.

Shen Changqing raised his head and looked at the phantom above him. From there, he could feel an extremely strong pressure.

Very strong!

Very strong!

Though its presence was powerful, there was also a sense of familiarity in it.

That feeling made him react immediately.

Good vibes!

That was a phantom formed by the convergence of spiritual energy.

Even back when the human race and the Azure Honeybee clan existed, Shen Changqing had already felt the presence of Qi.

However, things are different.

The auras of the two are completely different from the aura in front of us, there is no comparison at all.

In his view.

Just the aura manifesting before our eyes is probably enough to suppress even a God King level expert.

It is now.

The air currents above the main hall suddenly stirred, and a dragon head emerged from the swirling energy. As it opened its gaping maw, dozens of golden beams shot out, striking Shen Changqing and the others.

That moment.

The aura faded, appearing much weaker, and then slowly dissipated before everyone's eyes.

“This is...”

Shen Changqing felt a wispy power surrounding him, unlike any other power he had encountered before. It possessed infinite mystery.

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

He knew.

This is the Qiyun of the Zhongshan Clan.

But what he couldn't figure out was why the fortune of the Zhongshan clan would fall on him.

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

As if seeing everyone's confusion, Zhu Huang explained: "To enter the Heavenly Path, you must have the key to open it, and luck is the only key to enter."

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

Just now, some of our clan's Qi Luck was divided and placed within him, so you have gained the key to opening the path to Heaven.

Regardless of whether you succeed or not, once you enter the Heavenly Path, this aura will be plundered by the God-Conferring Platform, and your clan will be equivalent to permanently losing this portion of aura.

Here is the translation of the content within "", remembering that HTML tags are not translated:

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

If you want to make up for it, you must enter the Divine Platform. Otherwise, this loss will affect the entire clan.

Ah, I see!

That's when Shen Changqing finally understood why he had the Qiyun of the Zhongshan clan on him.

Written by

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

Clan Qiyun is the key to opening the path to heaven.

It is no wonder that the Zhōngshān clan was so strict in selecting cultivators who could enter the Heavenly Path.

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

Imagine that.

If the cultivators who enter the Heavenly Path are not strong enough, and all of them fall inside, then the Zhongshan clan would suffer a loss of their own good fortune for no reason.

>

He knows all too well how important air currents are.

Chi luck has been lost excessively.

Even the Jongsan clan would face great upheaval.

It's not good.

This could lead to a crisis that would bring about the destruction of the entire clan.

That can be said.

Entering the Sky Road, it's even a gamble.

Try to win a chance to enter the Altar of Gods using your clan's fortune.

As for how much luck one could gain by entering the Shenmen Platform, Shen Changqing was uncertain.

But there was one thing he could be sure of.

To obtain that portion of chi, it must be much more than the chi one puts in.

>

Otherwise.

The Zhongshan clan would certainly not risk this.

>

However, these things were nothing to Shen Changqing.

>

He just needs to enter the Heavenly Path and get his own benefits. To put it simply, he is not a cultivator of the Zhongshan clan, so there is no need to consider so much for the Zhongshan clan.

This is a simple text.

If I were to truly reveal myself.

Perhaps the first to be destroyed would be the Zhongshan clan.

As for the road to heaven.

Shen Changqing wasn't worried at all.

With his own strength, he believes entering the Sealing Divine Platform is not a big problem, as long as nothing unexpected happens.

As he was deep in thought, Zhong Shandonghuan said, "You all follow me to Zhuzong, and then I will lead you to the Central Plains. Do you have any other questions"

Everything obeys the arrangements of the God-King!

All bowed their heads.

Upon seeing this.

Zhongshan Dongxuan nodded in satisfaction.

Then come with me!>For a moment, the Lord of Bi Jiang had a surge of wanting to slaughter every member of the Bi Xuan Divine Clan. But he forcefully suppressed this impulse.In the end, they both stem from the same orig...
