Chapter 1395 - 269: Taking Root

Chapter 1395: Chapter 269: Taking Root

Capital City.

Within the Demon-Subduing Division.

After resolving the issues in the Central Profound Realm, Shen Changqing returned here.

The time spent traveling to the Central Profound Realm wasn’t long, but the consumption was quite significant.

The battle with the Divine Kings of the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces made him understand where his limits truly lie, and also the immense advantage of the Immortal Dao.

"With the Five-zhang Cave Heaven, my fleshly defense has almost reached the level of a Ninth Grade Dao Arms. Such defensive power would be hard to penetrate unless the attack reaches the level of a Universe Divine King.

If I continue on this trajectory, and someday condense the Cave Heaven Core, no other Divine King should pose a threat to me."

An unbreakable fleshly defense is innately akin to standing in an invincible position.

In the battle in the Central Profound Realm, being able to contend with half a hundred Divine Kings without defeat doesn’t mean I’m truly that powerful; rather, it’s because there are not many powerhouses among the half a hundred Divine Kings who can truly reach the Third Realm.

Thus.

I could only maintain an undefeated stance.

And there’s another crucial point: the Slaughter Immortal God did not participate.

If the Slaughter Immortal God had participated, Shen Changqing knew he wouldn’t stand a chance.

That renowned strongest powerhouse of the Central Profound Realm didn’t earn his reputation undeservedly.

Facing him alone is more formidable than facing several Rule Divine Kings.

If not for a breakthrough of my own, I wouldn’t have the confidence to prevail against him.

"As for the Zhen Sect Dao Arms of the Five Sects, they also pose a considerable threat—"

Shen Changqing recalled the final battle.

His ability to withstand the Zhen Sect Dao Arms of the Five Sects was solely due to pushing Qingyi’s power to its utmost limit.

In truth.

After withstanding that attack, Qingyi’s power was already on the verge of collapse.

But to create an illusion of the indestructibility of a Holy Weapon, Shen Changqing never showed any signs of weakness, successfully intimidating the powerhouses of the Five Sects.

If the Five Sects had truly decided to fight to the death, he would only have chosen to retreat.

Nevertheless, he ultimately intimidated the Five Sects and the Twelve Palaces, so for some time, they wouldn’t dare to act against the outside world.

If one day the powerhouses of the Central Profound Realm return, there can only be one possibility: they are confident of subduing me.

"Who can say for certain what the future holds? What I lack now is merely time!"

Thinking of this, Shen Changqing shook his head silently.

He’s not afraid of the Central Profound Realm coming back, but rather worries about running out of time.

Furthermore.

Compared to the Central Profound Realm, Shen Changqing is more wary of the Myriad Clans.

No matter how strong the Central Profound Realm is, it pales in comparison to the Myriad Clans.

As long as enough time is given, the Central Profound Realm can never threaten me. By that time, the Imperial Court will not wait for the Central Profound Realm to take action—they will take the initiative.

Afterward.

He retrieved all the jade stones containing Sect-Defining Ultimate Techniques from his storage ring.

The Five Sects and Twelve Palaces, each power provided four Sect-Defining Ultimate Techniques, adding up to sixty-eight from the seventeen factions, with an additional one from the Transference Divine Palace, totaling sixty-nine techniques.

Each Sect-Defining Ultimate Technique is equivalent to the Innate Divine Abilities of the Myriad Clans.

Thus.

Sect-Defining Ultimate Techniques are essentially an existence pointing directly to the Rules.

However, comprehending the Rules is difficult, but if only the understanding of Laws is necessary, the difficulty is greatly reduced.

For after all, understanding Laws to the utmost eventually leads to the Rules.

Moreover.

Every Sect-Defining Ultimate Technique contains more than one simple Law. Just like the Time Dust, which Shen Changqing had seen before, it contains both the Time and Mortal Dust Laws.

Although he now already grasps the Time and Mortal Dust Laws, fully comprehending Time Dust can still enhance the understanding of both Laws.

As such, strength can increase accordingly.

Expanding Cave Heaven.

Mainly consists of two parts.

First is the number of Laws comprehended, second is the degree of Law comprehension.

When quantity cannot increase, enhancing the degree of Law comprehension can still boost strength.

"Among the sixty-nine Laws, there shouldn’t be many conflicting with mine. If all can be comprehended, it seems likely to expand the Cave Heaven to six zhang."

With this thought settled.

Shen Changqing laid a simple protective measure around, then calmed his heart and began silently comprehending the Sect-Defining Ultimate Techniques of various factions.

The first one he comprehended was the Godslayer Saber Art of the Transference Divine Palace.

The reason for comprehending the Godslayer Saber Art is simple: it is quite similar to the Blade Path Law, yet differs from the Annihilation Blade Path Law already understood.

If he can successfully comprehend the Godslayer Saber Art, not only will he gain a new Law, but also indirectly advance the Annihilation Blade Path Law, making it a doubly beneficial endeavor that he couldn’t possibly forsake.

His heart and mind sank.

As soon as Divine Sense touched the jade stone, an intense, sharp aura erupted, causing Shen Changqing’s Divine Soul to tremble.

Even with his current Divine Soul Power, facing this impact, he couldn’t completely maintain his composure.

As the impact hit.

Countless visions appeared in his mind.

At that moment.

Shen Changqing instinctively closed his eyes, silently comprehending everything about the Godslayer Saber Art.

——

Atop the peak, Ji Quan simply waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept away all the weeds and rocks.

Then immediately.

He took out the many materials he had prepared from his storage ring, using his own divine power as fuel, igniting a terrifying divine fire in the void, devouring all the materials.

The divine fire forged.

Those materials melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than a quarter of an hour.

All the materials merged into one, and then countless seal techniques were cast by Ji Quan, with mysterious forces assimilating into it.

"Coagulate!"

He shouted in a deep voice.

The divine fire dispersed, revealing a complex of temples directly placed on the empty ground before them.

Then.

A stele emerged, landing in front of Ji Quan.

Using his hand as a pen.

He personally engraved three big characters: Transference Divine Palace.

When the last stroke fell, the stele seemed to be imbued with supreme power, and an overwhelming aura emanated from it, inspiring instinctive awe.

With a casual toss.

The stele landed straight at the foot of the mountain.

"The mountain gate is established, this is Transference Divine Palace!"

Ji Quan loudly declared, shaking the region for miles around.

How many years has it been!

Since the destruction of Transference Divine Palace, he had hidden his identity, reluctant to reveal his whereabouts easily, even more so using the name of Transference Divine Palace to travel the world.

Because once the name of Transference Divine Palace was exposed, it would surely incur the pursuit of Biyun Palace.

It wasn’t until later, when his power had advanced, no longer fearing Biyun Palace, that he dared to lead Wen Tianchou to Heavenly Dao City to participate in the Soaring Dragon Assembly, hoping to take this opportunity to make a name for himself and bring Transference Divine Palace back into the world’s eye.

Unfortunately, the Soaring Dragon Assembly was interrupted, and his plans fell through.

However,

although he failed to use the Soaring Dragon Assembly to reintroduce Transference Divine Palace to the Central Profound Realm, today it has established a foundation within the Imperial Court outside.

As long as he is given time, there will be no problem in bringing Transference Divine Palace back to its peak one day.

"Master!"

Wen Tianchou now also looked excited.

As the sole heir of Transference Divine Palace, his responsibility was to make Transference Divine Palace reappear in the world, even if the process was extremely perilous, possibly falling halfway, he wouldn’t retreat an inch.

Now that Transference Divine Palace has reemerged, how could he not be excited?

Ji Quan said, "With the establishment of Transference Divine Palace, you shall be the Palace Master of Transference Divine Palace!"

"What virtue or ability does this disciple possess to lead Transference Divine Palace? I humbly ask Master to assume the role of Palace Master, and this disciple will certainly work hard to serve Transference Divine Palace!"

Wen Tianchou decisively refused.

Ji Quan shook his head, "I have always considered you the heir of Transference Divine Palace, and now that it is established, you are the Palace Master. There is no need to argue further on this matter. Next, what you need to do is expand Transference Divine Palace.

From what I understand, the Human Clan is in decline, apart from Defender Shen, there is no other Divine King Level powerhouse in the Imperial Court.

Thus, no faction in the world can compete with Transference Divine Palace, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. If we do not seize this chance to grow, when other sects’ powerhouses develop one day, it will be immensely difficult for Transference Divine Palace to stand out."

The decline of the Human Clan externally presents an advantage, at least it allows Transference Divine Palace to become prominent.

To grow Transference Divine Palace, one must widely recruit disciples, embedding the name of Transference Divine Palace in the hearts of people everywhere.

Now.

is the best opportunity to expand Transference Divine Palace.

With a Divine King powerhouse seated and many methodologies possessed, as long as the mountain gate is widely opened, it will surely attract people from all over the world.

Over time, Transference Divine Palace will inevitably become a major power.

Upon seeing this.

Wen Tianchou nodded, no longer refusing, "This disciple will heed Master’s command!"

"Additionally, the divine path is not long-lasting, the true path for the Human Clan is still the Immortal Dao, I will pass on the Immortal Dao methodologies to you, you must refocus your cultivation on the Immortal Dao, otherwise, even if you break through to Divine King one day, you will be halted at the Divine King.

Wanting to advance beyond the Divine King is absolutely impossible."

Lastly, Ji Quan added.

The divine path is unsuitable for the Human Clan.

At least it is not suitable now.

Unless one day, the Human Clan can spread across the Heavens, possessing a vast number of beings’ faith, only then might the Human Clan have a chance to walk the divine path.

But not now.

Beings within the Human Clan are limited, achieving Divine King is already the limit.

Moreover.

The Imperial Court established externally, certainly will not allow the world’s people to have faith in the people of Transference Divine Palace, collecting belief is equally improbable.

Don’t even think about breaking the Divine King limit, whether you can prove the path of the Divine King is still an unknown.

Therefore.

Leaving the Central Profound Realm, entering the outside world, the path of divinity is essentially cut off.

"Immortal Dao!"

Wen Tianchou nodded.

Shen Changqing’s strength has perfectly demonstrated the power of the Immortal Dao.

If he had to choose between the two, naturally he would choose the strongest path.

The strongest in the divine path is Slaughter Immortal God, and the strongest in the Immortal Dao is Shen Changqing.

The battle between the two made the strengths and weaknesses of the paths abundantly clear.
