Chapters 53 to 57: The Time of Decay, Divine Painting Scroll
always heard about them, but he had only truly come into contact with one: the Primordial Alliance.Besides.Shen Changqing didn't know much about the Taigu Alliance, only having a general idea.But lik...On the left
Shen Changqing looked towards the passage on the left side of the palace hall.
Though there was a faint glow, it wasn't possible to make out the details inside.
“A puppet, able to wield power no weaker than that of an average celestial being, this place is indeed extraordinary.”
> "Besides encountering the puppets, did you see anything else when you last went into Yi Ge"
He was referring to the treasure.
Yi Ning understood the other person's meaning and gave a self-deprecating smile. "I'm not afraid of Lord Shen laughing at me, Yi hasn't had time to see anything clearly before being chased away by that puppet."
Don't run.
Then it's game over.
Speaking of this.
He changed the subject.
Here is the translated text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“But this time was different, with Lord Shen present, that puppet wouldn't have the chance to run rampant.”
Let's go take a look.
Shen Changqing shook his head.
That's all.
>
He led the way into the left passage, Yi Ning following close behind.
The palace is very large.
The patterns on the surrounding murals were extremely delicate, as if they were alive.
However.
Chen Changqing didn't pay much attention to these things. He just glanced at them and walked into the passage.
A long corridor, with nine bends and eighteen turns.
At a glance, it seems endless.
Neither of them spoke, but walked slowly ahead.
It could be a minute.
It could also be half an hour.
Since entering the palace, they were oblivious to the passage of time.
Then.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The two people stopped their steps.
At the end of their passage, there was a tightly shut door.
"Inside the palace gate is where I encountered those puppets. Last time, I left in such a hurry that I wasn't able to explore much. Lord Shen, be careful."
Yining's face was grave.
Although Shen Changqing was beside him, he still did not dare to be careless.
Don't be fooled by how relaxed and carefree I seem when I speak.
But actually.
Yi Ning remained in a state of high alert from beginning to end.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The unsuspecting person.
It's only a matter of time before we all fall in the ancient ruins.
>
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing's gaze fell on the bronze palace gate. Compared to the main hall's gate, this one was undoubtedly much smaller.
Divine consciousness descended.
I couldn't sense anything.
It's very obvious.
The temple doors are made of a special material that can block divine sense.
Withdrawing his divine sense, he struck out with a palm strike, and terrifying power was exerted upon the palace gate.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Om――
The heavy palace gate trembled slightly, then slowly creaked open under their watchful gaze.
The next moment.
A large amount of spiritual energy surged out from heaven and earth.
At the same time.
A figure dashed out from inside, a terrifying gust of wind erupting, causing the space to distort slightly.
"Be careful!"
Yi Ning's expression changed.
When he shouted, Shen Changqing had already taken the lead and shot a finger strike.
Two forces collide.
That figure instantly flew backwards.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
One step forward.
Shen Changqing directly entered the side hall.
Broad vision.
Only a puppet dressed in a Taoist robe, no different from ordinary people, lay powerless there.
I wanted to struggle to get up, but there was no way.
The power of that finger had already shattered its physical body, leaving it in a state of near death.
"Hiss!"
Seeing the puppet lying on the ground, dying, Yi Ning, who had followed into the side hall, couldn't help but gasp.
The power of the puppet.
He knows this well.
Such a powerful puppet, yet almost destroyed by the other party with a single finger.
Such a gap.
It's simply disheartening.
“This looks like a alchemy room!”
Smelling the faint fragrance and seeing the jade vases on the shelf and the alchemy furnace in the center of the side hall, Shen Changqing immediately recognized this place.
In ancient times.
This is the translated text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This place must be where that powerful alchemist makes their potions.
The central crucible is enough to explain everything.
Even after countless years, there was not a speck of dust on the pill furnace. It was just that the fire inside had long since gone out.
"Great stuff!"
>
Yi Ning gazed at the jade vase on the wall cabinet, her eyes gleaming.
The elixir refined by ancient powerhouses are all excellent treasures.
If one is fortunate enough to gain some improvement in skill, it would be of immeasurable benefit to oneself.
Thinking about this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He strode first towards one of the cabinets, picking up the jade bottle resting on top.
Upon opening the cork, a faint aroma wafted out.
Here's the translation of your content, keeping the HTML tags:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Looking back into the jade bottle, there was no trace of pills inside. There was only black ash.
Suddenly.
Yining again picked up another jade bottle, and when she opened it, it was the same sight.
>
One.
Two.
Not long after.
He opened every single jade vase inside the side hall.
Without exception.
Inside, there was no elixir stored at all. There was only black ash.
“It seems that this ancient relic has existed for far too long. The pills stored here in the past have all turned to ashes over the years.”
Yi Ning's face was full of regret.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's a pity.
It's a real shame.
>
Such a large side hall, if all the medicinal pills were perfectly preserved, it would be a huge treasure.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's all gone.
In the erosion of time, almost nothing can exist eternally.
These medicinal herbs stored here have lost their effectiveness after thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
"Time has passed for too long, it's normal for the medicinal pills to lose their effect. Since ancient times until now, there should not be many things that can be preserved!"
This is the HTML tag you provided, which should be left untouched as it's not meant to be translated:

Shen Changqing didn't seem surprised at all.
Please note: The content you provided was already formatted with HTML tags. I've only translated the text within those tags and kept the formatting as you requested. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If the medicine is gone, then forget it.
As for him.
Though ancient elixirs were precious, they weren't indispensable.
In comparison.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
What Shen Changqing truly cared about was something else.
"The side hall was thick with incense, but when we arrived, there wasn't a trace of spiritual energy outside the main hall. The surrounding darkness even consumed divine sense, so naturally, spiritual energy couldn't escape."
The content within the tags > is empty. Therefore, there is nothing to translate. If you provide me with actual text inside the tags, I'd be happy to translate it for you.
After we entered the main hall, there was spiritual energy that shouldn't have existed.
Now, when the side hall is opened, there is even a surge of powerful spiritual energy.
Speaking of this.
He paused for a moment, his eyes flashing with light.
"I suspect that this hall may contain a spiritual vein."
Shen Changqing is no longer the fledgling he used to be.
He went through every single volume in the Wu Ge's archives.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As for the spiritual veins.
Shen Changqing was confident that there were few people in the current Wuge who understood it better than him.
>
There is no spiritual energy outside.
But the great hall was filled with spiritual energy.
Then it's clear.
There are things that generate spiritual energy inside the main hall.
And what kind of thing could allow spiritual energy to exist for thousands or even tens of thousands of years without depletion The only possibility is a spiritual vein.
If it is a single spirit stone.
In a place completely devoid of spiritual energy, over time, the spiritual energy within spirit stones will also be depleted.
Upon hearing this.
Yining's eyes also lit up: "Lord Shen is right, there might really be a spiritual vein here!"
Meridian!
How could he not have thought of this
All of these ancient sites from the past are actually connected to the outside world. They're just hidden away.
If it can communicate with the outside world, there will naturally be spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
Over time.
Then he didn't pay any attention to it.
But this is different.
>
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
As Shen Changqing said, this place is completely cut off from the outside world, and there's no possibility of spiritual energy entering.
In this case.
If there is still spiritual energy in heaven and earth, then it explains a lot of things.
When Yi Ning thought about the possible existence of a spiritual vein, her breathing became a little rapid.
Ling stones are precious.
Spirit veins are even more precious.
The spirit vein is the root source of nurturing spirit stones. The small spirit vein within Wugong has nurtured Wugong for hundreds of years, and even Zhenmosis and the entire capital city have benefited from those spirit veins.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's exactly why.
The spiritual energy within the capital city is more concentrated than in other places.
Even a small spiritual vein is so valuable, one can imagine how precious the larger veins must be.
If one could truly obtain a spiritual meridian.
Therefore, the benefits for warriors are simply comparable to a priceless treasure.
Take a few deep breaths.
Yi Ning tried her best to calm herself down: "If there really is a spiritual vein here, we must get the heart of the spiritual vein."
It is impossible to move the spiritual veins out.
Even the smallest spiritual vein is not something that ordinary people can move, because spiritual veins are too vast.
But the Spirit Vein's Heart is different.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That is the source of the spiritual veins.
Once you obtain the Spirit Vein Heart, it's equivalent to possessing the entire Spirit Vein.
Place it anywhere, and over time, a new vein of spirit will emerge.
As for the spiritual veins that have been mined for their cores, even they will gradually decay over time.
But.
>
What does this have to do with them
An ancient site has a spirit vein, which is incredibly wasteful in itself.
“The Spirit Vein Heart definitely can't be left behind. If I'm not mistaken, the Spirit Vein should be located beneath the main hall. But judging by the materials used to construct the hall, it won't be easy to break through.”
>
Moreover, once forceful action is taken, it is very likely to damage this site.
Let's explore other places first, and then we'll figure out how to extract the Spirit Heart when it comes down to it.
Shen Changqing made a decision in an instant.
The heart of the spirit vein must be taken.
Everything else in the main hall should also be taken away.
>
A grand palace.
He didn't believe for a moment that there were no corresponding cultivation manuals.
The rest.
That's the crux of the matter then.
Yining heard this and did not object.
Then.
>
Shen Changqing looked at the puppet still there, then with another finger strike, completely destroyed it. After that, he left the alchemy room with Yi Ning and headed to the next side hall.
As the other party said.
This ancient site is fraught with danger everywhere you turn.
Some passages have mechanisms, and the dark weapons fired can render protective qi useless.
In some of the side halls, there exist powerful puppets.
>
Those puppets.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The weak are equivalent to just stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm, while the strong are equivalent to the fifth level after the Heavenly Human Realm.
>Being outside, already considered a great demon.
Such is the danger.
Let Yining be startled.
If he hadn't come in with Shen Changqing this time, with his own strength, he wouldn't have survived a day inside the hall.
This level of danger is truly terrifying.
Fortunately.
In the face of Shen Changqing, the danger within the main hall couldn't stir up even a ripple.
In the twinkling of an eye.
All has been suppressed.
After exploring several empty side halls, the two of them opened another new door.
>
The palace gate opened.
Some puppets also rushed out.
But Shen Changqing had long been familiar with this.
As the puppet rushed out, he was immediately crushed by his hand.
Heavenly Puppetry.
For those in the realm of Immortal Golden Bodies, it's already considered insignificant.
>
Especially now that Shen Changqing has officially entered the late stage of the Immortal Golden Body Realm, although he hasn't reached perfection yet, he's almost there.
>
Speaking of strength.
Among those of the same level, he is already considered almost top-tier.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Suppressing the Heavenly Man puppets was simply effortless.
Puppet extermination.
The two walked straight in.
At once.
A powerful and sharp aura struck Yining, forcing her to use her qi to defend herself.
Shen Changqing didn't resist. The sharp aura landed on him, and at every inch of his position, it quietly dissipated.
The Zhansheng Saber hanging from his waist vibrated slightly.
Soon, peace was restored.
"This place is meant to store divine weapons!"
Shen Changqing looked at the side hall before him, where there were many weapons placed.
That sharp aura was the condensed essence of countless divine weapons assembled together.
It's just---
The number of divine soldiers seems numerous.
But among the visible divine weapons, many have dimmed in brilliance, their former power eroded by the passage of time.
Finally.
His gaze fell upon the divine weapon in the very center.
That was a long spear.
Compared to other divine weapons, this one's divine light was somewhat dim, but it lacked the aura of decay.
Besides that.
Shen Changqing looked at the gun in his hand, and saw an incomplete brand.
That is—a seal impression.
A fragmentary Dao Seal.
This explains that this divine weapon belongs to the Dao soldier tier, or in other words, it has already reached the level of a Dao soldier.
On the other side, Yining was also captivated by the spear.
"Master Shen"
He didn't immediately go to retrieve the divine weapon, but instead fixed his gaze on Shen Changqing.
With his vision, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of the divine weapon.
But.
There is only one divine weapon here.
As agreed, the one who entered the ancient site and brought back information was mainly on our side.
That's it.
>
Even Yi Ning herself didn't have the qualifications to claim such a divine weapon.
Understand the other party's meaning.
>
Shen Changqing shook his head: "This is a half-step Dao soldier, but it wouldn't be useful for me. I'm not good with guns, and besides, the divine weapon I possess myself, the Zhansheng Dao, isn't weaker than this spear by a single bit."
"If you want it, then take it," said the owner of Yi Ge.
He has the Zanshen Blade.
Furthermore, the Zhansheng Dao is still a first-grade divine weapon.
Though the spear before my eyes is also not weak, it has not truly entered the ranks of Dao soldiers.
... and one more thing.
Shen Changqing himself didn't have much interest in marksmanship.
Obtaining that divine weapon wouldn't be of much use to me personally.
Though the divine soldiers are good.
But more is not necessarily better.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
It's better to focus on cultivating a single artifact than to aim for many mediocre ones.
Then, thank you, Lord Shen!
Yi Ning also did not decline.
He was also very interested in that long spear, but he was embarrassed to ask for it out of face.
Since Shen Changqing is taking the initiative to step down now, it couldn't be better.
Approaching the spear.
Just as Yi Ning was about to grasp the gun, the spear seemed to sense something. A terrifyingly sharp aura rose up, forcing him to step back.
"The weak!"
"Not worthy!"
A low voice echoed from the gun.
Hearing this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Yi Ning's face turned dark immediately.
The divine soldiers could speak, which surprised him very much.
But.
To be looked down upon by a divine weapon was even more humiliating than being defeated.
>
As for him, being the head of the Inner Affairs Department and a powerful expert at the pinnacle, even in the Demon Suppression Division, he would be considered a Marshal guarding a region.
Now.
To be looked down upon by a divine weapon.
If it is not suppressed, what face will we have left to show
If it were just him alone here, being scorned wouldn't matter much to Yining. He might not even bother trying to change anything.
The problem is.
He wasn't alone right now, Shen Changqing was watching him as well.
So—
Yi Ning's palm strike slammed out, the palm force colliding with that sharp edge.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Just a mere inanimate object, daring to clamor at Yi"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
As he struck, a fierce roar erupted from his mouth.
However.
When the two forces collided, Zhang Gang was torn apart by the sharpness.
Here's the translation: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A sudden change left Yi Ning's face pale.
Without a second thought.
>
It's about using body qi to form a shield and forcefully intercept the remaining power.
Boom!!
Powerful wave diffusion.
Yi Ning's whole body was surging with qi and blood.
He looked at the spear with anger and astonishment.
It's hard to imagine.
With his own strength, in that just-now clash, he was actually at a disadvantage.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
If the opponent is a top-tier expert, then it's fine.
But it seems that it's not possible.
He was outmatched by a dead thing's weapon.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Such a result made Yining find it hard to accept.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Meanwhile.
The competitive spirit deep within him was also fully aroused.
Power burst.
A terrible tremor raged within the side hall.
The spear, originally standing silently on the ground, now rose into the air. Its sharp aura turned people’s complexion pale with fear.
"It seems Yining is going to lose!"
>
Shen Changqing looked for a while, then secretly shook his head.
Here is the translation of your provided text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yining's strength is not bad, but it's still a bit short.
Half a step soldier.
The power unleashed is absolutely no weaker than that of a powerful demon.
However.
He could also see it.
In the side hall, countless years had passed in dust and silence. Even with spiritual energy replenishing it, the spear's power was severely depleted.
At present, only one in ten of our actual capabilities can be deployed.
If it were during its peak.
Just now, when we fought.
This is a placeholder.
Even if Yining isn't killed, she will be severely wounded.
This is the terrifying power of a mighty divine weapon; in itself, it is equivalent to a fearsome existence.
It's just like one's own Zhanshen Dao.
Don't look at the Zhanshen Saber as unremarkable, but Shen Changqing is very clear that even facing a demon saint, the Zhanshen Saber can contend with it by its own power.
This is the time.
Yi Ning was being forced back step by step by the long spear.
His clothes were tattered and torn, and even his tough flesh was bleeding profusely.
The residual waves, as they reached the other divine weapons on the weapon rack, caused those weapons that had lost their divine light to crumble into dust.
Seeing the other party about to be utterly defeated.
Shen Changqing patted the long knife at his waist and said lightly, "Suppress that spear."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's all.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Saint-Slayer's blade unsheathed suddenly.
The peerless sword light dispelled all darkness within the side hall.
in an instant.
The long sword had already slashed onto the shaft of the spear.
A terrifying power pressed down, the gun barrel trembling violently, unable to bear the pressure and flying sideways.
A sudden helper.
>
Let Yining be caught off guard.
When he came to his senses, he saw that the spear which had been pressing down on him was being held down by a long sword.
"Master Shen --"
Yi Ning recognized it, that blade was the sword at Shen Changqing's waist.
However.
Such a result hit him even harder.
What does it mean
He couldn't beat the gun, and the gun was forced down by the opponent's sword.
Isn't this just illustrating that
Not only could I not defeat this Qin general, but even his divine weapon could easily subdue me at any time.
Once the connection is understood, Yi Ning's heart becomes as still as ashes.
There is nothing.
This is even more disheartening than the facts themselves.
Shen Changqing coughed lightly: "Lord Yi, you may not know this, but once a Dao soldier enters the ranks, even the weakest among them are comparable to demon saints. As for those who have reached the semi-Dao Soldier realm, their strength is already comparable to that of a Heavenly Human at the fifth level."
Ordinary weapons, wanting to cross this step is not easy.
But once you cross that threshold, it's a qualitative change.
A top-grade spiritual weapon, wanting to grow to the level of a half-step Dao soldier, or even a Dao soldier, its difficulty is even more difficult than that of a body tempering realm warrior growing to the Heavenly Human Realm.
He comforted her with a few words.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Otherwise, Shen Changqing suspected that Yi Ning was really going to become reclusive.
This is a translation of the content within >. Please note that I will not translate any HTML tags, only the text content.
> Got the explanation.
The Minister of Internal Affairs just felt a little bit of comfort.
It's easy to say that a soldier who takes half a step is not difficult to achieve.
If half-step Dao soldiers could appear just like that, then all those years I've spent cultivating would be for nothing. I'd truly be living the life of a dog.
>On the other side.
The Blazing Saint Saber has already been suppressed by a long spear.
One was a first-rank Taoist soldier in his prime.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
One was a half-step warrior who was not at his peak.
There is a big gap between them.
>
... to an unimaginable scale.
Not long.
As the Zhansheng Blade struck the spear once more, a mournful wail echoed through the air as the spear clattered to the ground, motionless.
The long sword returns to its sheath.
The sound of the Zhansheng Dao rang out, "Master, I've defeated him."
“Good.”
Shen Changqing nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yi Ning.
"Master YiGe, this divine weapon has already been subdued. If you wish to claim it, simply draw blood and pledge your allegiance!"
Thank you.
Yi Ning took a deep breath and without hesitation, walked up to the long spear. She stretched out her finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto its surface.
Fresh blood drips.
>
At first, there was some resistance to the long guns.
But after the Zhanshen Dao emitted a melodious ringing sound, the spear lay obediently down.
The situation is overwhelming, even for the divine army.
The Zanshen Blade is too powerful.
Even though the spearman might have been discontent in his heart, he had already been subdued.
Therefore.
It resisted for a while, then allowed the blood to flow in.
This is a simple example. Let's get started!
Not long after.
Yi Ning immediately felt a connection with the divine weapon on the ground.
A thought crossed my mind.
Here is the translation of your provided text:
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
The divine soldiers on the ground seemed to sense something and rose directly into the air, landing before him.
This is a tricky one! It seems like you're asking me to translate the content within these HTML tags but leave the tags themselves untouched. Could you please provide the actual content *inside* the tags so I can accurately translate it into English for you For example, if your full request was:I would return: Let me know what's inside the tags, and I'll be happy to help!
With one hand gripping the gun, the feeling grew stronger.
“Half-step soldier!”
Yining looked at the mottled marks on the gun, her excitement was palpable.
A half-step Daoist soldier is equivalent to a strong warrior in the Immortal Golden Body realm.
That is to say.
As long as he cultivates himself well, he will be equivalent to an immortal being of the Golden Body Realm.
Extreme Martial Artist
Its power rivals that of an Immortal Golden Body Realm expert.
The advantages are already very significant.
Yi Ning then turned to Shen Changqing, bowing solemnly: "If it weren't for Pavilion Master Shen's help, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to obtain such a divine weapon. From now on, any further gains within the ancient ruins will belong to Pavilion Master Shen."
"I just hope that when I obtain the martial arts techniques, I can let Yi copy some down."
Having received a half-step soldier, he was already very satisfied.
It's embarrassing to fight over something when you already have enough.
After recovering the only remaining half-step Dao soldier, the Armory had nothing left.
After a brief glance, the two of them simply left and headed for the next side hall.
Armed with a long spear.
If any more puppets appear, basically Yi Ning will handle them directly.
Though he may not be very skilled, his half-step Dao Soldier is powerful enough.
Such divine weaponry.
For those puppets, it's a dimensionality reduction strike.
It's incredibly easy to wipe them out.
But it's a shame.
This ancient site has existed for far too long. Many of the things left behind in the side halls have, over time, become useless.
At best, it can still retain its original form, but the moment it is touched, it turns to dust.
If it comes down to it.
The grand side hall doors swung open, and everything inside was reduced to ashes.
That's why.
They opened dozens of side halls, but found nothing.
I don't know how long ago it was.
>
The two once again opened the doors to a hall.
This is unlike the other side halls.
This hall is located in the center of the corridor, while the other side halls are situated at the corners of the corridor.
This is a very strange request. It seems like you're asking me to translate some text that's already in English. Could you please clarify what you want me to do For example, do you want me to:* Translate the content within the HTML tags into another language * Remove the HTML tags and then translate the text* Something else entirelyPlease provide more information so I can help you accurately.
The palace gate opened.
There was no puppet attack as imagined.
The interior of the side hall was bathed in light, a stark contrast to the dimness of the rest of the place.
> Went in.
>
The first thing that caught their eyes was a painting hanging in the center.
...in the painting.
A man in white, whose features were obscured from view, stood atop the mountain. One hand was carried behind him, the other pointed towards the sea of clouds before him. He seemed to be admiring the breathtaking scenery, yet there was a hint of something else in his demeanor, as if he had ulterior motives.
His gaze lingered on it.
Shen Changqing looked at the painting, a strange feeling welling up in his heart.
It's as if I've grasped something, yet it feels like I haven't understood anything at all.
Then, something strange.
This made his heart ache a little.
Unconsciously.
Shen Changqing's divine sense fell upon the painting.
In an instant.
The scene changes.
He seemed to be pulled into the painting, like a fairy descending from the heavens to overlook the world below.
On the mountain peak, a man in white pointed forward with one finger.
A single finger, just like it could cleave the heavens and earth, parted the sea of clouds before him.
Clouds churn and roll.
His skill is unmatched.
All sorts of wonders came to mind.
for a moment.
Shen Changqing's heart and mind were completely captivated by the mystery of that single finger.
I don't know how long it had been.
Suddenly, a voice came to his ear.
"This finger, is called 'Transforming Clouds'!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Then.
Shen Changqing withdrew his mind from the self-portrait.
As I looked at the painting, that mysterious feeling remained. When my thoughts fell on it again, the scene from before unfolded once more.
For a long time.
His mind withdrew again from the picture.
On one's mind.
I'm feeling a little tired.
This time.
Shen Changqing did not look at the painting again, but instead focused his attention on his own panel.
Name: Shen ChangqingPower: Great Qin Demon Suppression AuthorityIdentity: Commander-in-Chief of the Great Qin GarrisonRealm: Immortal Golden BodyFleshly Body: Myriad Tribulations True BodyMartial Arts: Annihilate Evil and Silence Finger, Twilight Azure Wood, Heaven and Earth One Sword Slash, Transformation Cloud Finger
Slaughter: 14535
Divine Ability: 182
As soon as he saw the extra name in the "School" column on the panel, he understood.
“A painting is not an ordinary thing; it contains a legacy of divine power, but unfortunately, this divine power is not very strong.”
Shen Changqing shook his head secretly.
The clouds disperse.
Sixth-Rank Divine Ability.
Within the Nine Ranks of Divine Ability, the Sixth Rank Divine Ability is just entering the level of a mid-three-rank Divine Ability.
This is inside the panel fusion divine ability.
A single fusion of divine power already belonged to the level of a sixth-rank divine ability.
The divine ability of two fusions is equivalent to a third-grade divine ability.
The divine power of threefold fusion is a first-rank divine power.
This is inside.
The Extermination of Demons and Annihilation Finger, along with the Dusk Azure Wood Divine Skill, are all Third-Rank divine abilities. They are also divine abilities obtained after a second fusion.
This is a test.
Only the Heaven and Earth's One Blade Strike is the true Three Fused Pinnacle Divine Ability.
The technique of obtaining the Huayun Zhi (chemical clouds) currently, is considered to be the most basic among all the divine abilities displayed on the panel.
> However.
Shen Changqing wasn't disgusted either.
Now that I have acquired a sixth-rank divine ability, if I obtain another sixth-rank divine ability in the future, then after merging them, I will be able to further enhance the Annihilating Demon and Suppressing Evil Finger.
At that time.
Even if one possesses two first-rank divine abilities.
Gather your thoughts.
He turned his head to look at Yining.
The other party's mind was still immersed in the painting.
He glanced at them twice but didn't disturb them.
Divine comprehension is not so easy.
He was able to wake up so quickly because he had a deep foundation and many divine abilities in his possession.
Otherwise.
You will also, like the other person, be completely absorbed in the painting.
Then.
Shen Changqing sized up the environment of this side hall.
At the bottom of the painting, there is a cushion with traces of sitting, clearly showing that someone often meditated here.
Besides this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
There was a desk and bookshelf nearby, with some books on them.
See here.
He was almost certain this must be the place where the master of the hall practiced daily.
The painting imbued with divine power, the meditation cushion, the bookshelf, and the heaven and earth spiritual energy here, which is several dozen times more potent than elsewhere, all serve as proof of this.
The best things are often in the master bedroom.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
I'm sure I can find everything I've been thinking about here!
Shen Changqing's face couldn't help but show a slight smile.
What was his purpose in coming here At first, he was only looking for cultivation methods related to the soul.
After entering the main hall, there was one more objective.
That is how one obtains the Spirit Meridian Heart.
The spiritual energy density here is ten to dozens of times higher than elsewhere. It's very clear that the entrance to the spiritual vein is most likely located here.
Then there is.
As the head of the hall's cultivation place, it is normal to store martial arts and exercises.
The books he visited on the bookshelf, Shen Changqing suspected were related.
But he couldn't be sure.
After so many years, have these books, like other things in the side halls, only appeared intact on the surface but crumbled at the slightest touch
>
Here comes the bookcase.
When your palm touched it, a slight chill ran through you.
Shen Changqing was unclear about the material of the case table, but after so long, it remained intact and undamaged, not like other things that had decayed and disappeared.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This is the only point.
If that's the case, then the desk must be a treasure.
And.
It is by no means as simple as an ordinary treasure.
He glanced at it and then fixed his gaze on the bookcase before him.
Holding a book with the utmost care, I feared that even the slightest amount of force might damage it.
When I first touched the book, although I felt some fragility, there was no damage.
>
However.
When Shen Changqing was about to pick up the book, the perfectly intact book suddenly shattered.
On seeing this.
He stopped his actions.
"Please!"
Shen Changqing shook his head slightly.
Here's the translation of your content:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Indeed.
Over the years, these books have also become fragile and can be easily damaged with even slight carelessness.
After a brief pause.
He tried to focus his telepathy on the bookshelf.
Next.
A book on a bookshelf was carefully taken out by an invisible hand.
No damage!
Seeing the books safely removed, Shen Changqing felt a surge of joy in his heart.
But he dared not get too excited. He calmed himself down, concentrating his mind to slowly turn the pages of the book with his divine sense.
This is a book that records ancient events.
It took less than a minute.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Shen Changqing read through all the contents of the book.
Having had the experience of the first one, the rest was much easier.
> After half a day.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After putting the last book back in its place, the tension that had been gripping him instantly eased.
Then.
Shen Changqing closed his eyes, silently digesting the information he had just received.
It has been a long time.
He had just settled his mind.

Compared to before.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Three more martial arts appeared on the panel below.
Among.
The Reincarnation Sutra and the Underworld Scripture were exactly the martial arts that Shen Changqing had always been searching for.
These two martial arts are both focused on enhancing the soul.
And.
All of them are not low in rank.
According to martial arts records, when two schools of martial arts reach their peak, they can break through the realms of ancient times. In today's world, this is equivalent to the fifth level after heaven and man.
That's all I have to say.
The practice of cultivating the soul and spirit is much more difficult than other martial arts.
It is very difficult to succeed by relying on one's own cultivation.
That is why.
Behind these two martial arts, there is also a detailed annotation.
That is to suggest refining one's Qi Luck, thereby accelerating the breakthrough of the soul, and thus bringing these two martial arts to a state of perfection.
Another book, Bailian Zhen Shen, is a martial art that focuses on tempering the physical body.
To achieve great success.
In terms of physical defense, it can withstand attacks from the domain realm during ancient times.
That can be said.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The three martial arts styles have completely transcended the realm of ordinary martial arts.
Therefore, their appearance is not in the martial arts column but in the physical body column.
That's all I have to say.
Here is the translation of your provided text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Three martial arts schools are a level below the Indestructible Body.
"But --"
"If the **Soul Refining Heart Sutra** and **Divine Soul Scripture** could be further integrated, then the martial arts that emerged from this fusion would likely not be much inferior to the Eternal Calamity True Form!"
Shen Changqing pondered silently.
These two martial arts, at their highest level of achievement, can reach the fifth heaven of a human and heavenly being.
When the original Shenxiao Golden Body was perfected, it could also allow people to reach the fifth heaven of the human-god realm.
The effect is consistent.
Natural equality naturally results in agreement.
Although...
He doesn't need any soul cultivation techniques now, he just needs to focus on tempering his physical body. But being able to integrate a higher-level divine soul martial art would be of great benefit to the human race.
That's all.
This place is not a place of integration.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Only after leaving this ancient site can we make other plans.
“Whew!”
When she stepped out of the illusory world depicted in the painting, Yi Ning couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
I wanted to take a step, but my whole body was weak and I almost fell head over heels.
This is the time.
He suddenly realized what was going on.
When I was lost in a trance, how much mental effort did I actually expend
However.
Although it consumes quite a lot.
But looking back at the memories in her mind, Yining couldn't help but smile.
Sixth Rank Divine Ability - Cloud-Transforming Finger!
What is supernatural power
>
Though he claimed he had never received it before, he had heard about it from entering and exiting the ancient site.
Then, wait for those means.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This is not an ordinary martial art that can be compared to.
Just to be straight.
The power of supernatural abilities is incomparable to any martial art, as it involves the forces of heaven and earth.
Now.
Yet, within the painting itself, he received the inheritance of a divine power.
Even if I only get some memories and haven't fully grasped the fundamentals, as long as I give myself some time, I might be able to figure out something about this divine ability.
Here is the translation of your text:
Let me know if you have any other phrases or texts you'd like me to translate!
That way.
One's own strength will surely make leaps and bounds.
Thinking of this, Yi Ning's face was beaming with joy.
"As expected of an ancient site with terrifying dangers, the opportunities within are truly extraordinary!"
First, I obtained a half-step Dao soldier, and then the inheritance of divine abilities.
This is the only two things.
This is far more precious than all the opportunities I've encountered in ancient sites before.
Before entering the ancient ruins.
He was already at the late stage of Master, and almost reached the Grandmaster level.
...and up to now.
After so many years, I have finally reached the ultimate realm.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In terms of realm, there have indeed been some breakthroughs.
But.
Such a breakthrough, compared to this harvest, is nothing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It was just a half-step soldier.
It can crush all.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Taking her gaze away from the painting, Yi Ning first stood there for half an hour before turning her head to look elsewhere.
He did not charge for the painting.
As agreed.
Apart from the long spear, everything else belongs to Shen Changqing.
>
If the other party is willing, then Yi Ning will still have the opportunity to comprehend divine abilities in the future. If the other party is unwilling, Yi Ning is also prepared to give up.

"Has Yi Ge's enlightenment ended"
Shen Changqing walked over.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Upon hearing this.
Yining let out a chuckle. "It's not that I've reached the end of my understanding, just gained a little bit. To truly master a divine ability, it's certainly not that easy."
Speaking of this.
He looked back at the painting.
“This is indeed a precious treasure. It would be better if the master of the Shenge brought it back. If one could comprehend the divine powers within, they would surely benefit immensely.”
In Yining's opinion.
For Shen Changqing, Huayunzhi was also an extremely powerful supernatural power.
After all.
Nowadays, supernatural powers are gone.
If you don't enter the ancient ruins, there is no chance of getting anything.
Shen Changqing's gaze also fell on the painting. With a thought, the painting hanging above him unfurled and stopped in front of him.
"The Cloud-Dispelling Finger is indeed excellent. In the future, placing it in the Martial Pavilion will allow everyone to comprehend its divine power."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Looking at the scroll before him, he smiled faintly.
Although he possessed many divine abilities, he ultimately failed to fully comprehend them.
That's it.
It is impossible to, like a painting before your eyes, imbue supernatural power into an object and have others comprehend it.
>
Unless.
>
One day.
If one can fully comprehend and master their divine abilities, that is a different story altogether.
>
However.
Comprehending supernatural powers is arduous.
Even Shen Changqing himself had no confidence that he could fully comprehend a divine ability.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
of the many supernatural powers he possessed.
Even the mightiest Heaven-Earth Slash, at its strongest, is only at the second stage.
Second level of supernatural powers.
Although Dou Er is stronger than someone just starting out in some ways, it's not much stronger.
Truly complete.
This is just a line of text.
The divine power and time consumed in this process are immeasurable.
Please note: I only translated the text content within the > tags. I did not translate the HTML tags themselves.
On the other side.
Yi Ning's eyes flickered: "Lord Shen, are you planning to put this divine skill in the martial arts pavilion"
>If that were really the case.
Then one would have the opportunity to continue their contemplation.
"Hmm."
Shen Changqing nodded.
He understood the other party's meaning. For him, a sixth-rank supernatural power like Huāyún was just average. He might as well take it out.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
If someone could truly comprehend divine powers, that would be best.
Folding the scroll casually, Shen Changqing walked to the center of the cushions.
“If I'm not mistaken, the entrance to the main hall's spiritual veins is right under this cushion.”
Just like the secret chambers of the Wugong Pavilion, each chamber's location corresponds to a node in the spirit vein.
It's very likely.
Yi Ning's gaze was also fixed on the cushion.
If it were to say that the spiritual veins existed in any location, the side hall would have the highest probability.
The same.
In the side hall, the most likely place for the spirit vein entrance is undoubtedly beneath the meditation cushion.
Entrance to the spiritual vein.
Qi is the most concentrated.
Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Place the meditation cushion in this position, and during your daily cultivation, you can borrow and absorb a large amount of heaven and earth's spiritual energy. This is something that cannot be compared to other places.
With a flick of his wrist, Shen Changqing sent out a gust of wind.
A cushion, left undisturbed for who knows how long, was lifted into the air by this surge of power.
With the cushion flying up.
As if some seal had been broken, an astounding spiritual energy erupted with a deafening roar, instantly filling the entire side hall.
The content you provided is already in English. It appears to be a simple HTML tag, specifically:`
` Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
A surge of abundant spiritual energy swept through.
caused many items that were already decaying within the side hall to turn to ash in an instant.
“What a strong spiritual energy!”
Yi Ning's face flushed red.
At that moment.
He actually felt a little dizzy.
Although this was Enying's first time experiencing it, she had heard about similar situations in ancient ruins from previous explorations.
The air is filled with spiritual energy!
When spiritual energy becomes sufficiently concentrated, if a martial artist's cultivation level is insufficient, this kind of situation will occur.
Originally.
He always thought the claim that qi was intoxicating was just a legend, and didn't exist in reality.
Until now.
Here's the text translated into English:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yi Ning just understood.
It turns out that being intoxicated by spiritual energy is a real thing.
Even with his peak strength, he found it hard to breathe under the onslaught of this spiritual energy.
Aside.
Shen Changqing gazed at that thick, almost overwhelming spiritual energy with gleaming eyes.
He hesitated for almost no time, immediately secretly running the Myriad Tribulations True Form, frantically absorbing that spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper his physical qi and blood.
Qi!
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
That is something that all martial artists need to cultivate.
Even if the Immortal Golden Body Realm's each breakthrough requires a great deal of energy supplementation, such rich spiritual energy can also play some role.
That cushion was clearly no ordinary thing.
Placing it at the entrance of the meridian, its primary function should be to block spiritual energy.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In this way.
Only those who sit upon it can fully experience the nourishing energy of the spiritual veins.
These emanations of spiritual energy are merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the power of the spirit veins.
Under the seal of the Putian, that spiritual energy had been accumulating for an unknown number of years. Its eruption this time was truly something to behold.
An overwhelming surge of spiritual energy.
Shen Changqing stood unmoved, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth swirling around him as he greedily absorbed it.
Seeing this scene.
Yining also immediately reacted, sitting cross-legged and silently running her martial arts techniques to absorb and cultivate that spiritual energy.
The air is intoxicating.
>
>
Cultivate here.
Every moment of benefit received is greater than the result of a month's ascetic practice outside.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
Inside the side hall.
Extremely rich spiritual energy continued to gush out from the spirit meridian entrance.
Shen Changqing stood still, while Yi Ning sat down cross-legged.
Both of them were fully drawing in spiritual energy to cultivate themselves.
Such an opportunity is once in a thousand years.
No matter who, will not let it pass by.
>
It could be a day, or it could take several days.
Yi Ning, sitting cross-legged, suddenly trembled. His aura strengthened significantly in an instant.
That spiritual energy enveloping me was shattered.
The next moment.
Qi gathers once more.
When he opened his eyes, there was a look of surprise in them.
"My physical and mental state have reached their peak!"
Flesh!
Keep going!
Genuine energy!
When the three reach their peak, they can successfully break through their current limits and become powerful beings at the celestial and human level.
> The time before.
Yining has already reached the peak of the spiritual system. Although her physical body has reached the stage of the Great Sun Furnace, there is still a big gap compared to the peak.
Up to now.
Under the replenishment of abundant spiritual energy.
The physical body has officially entered its peak.
Next.
That is to say, it is about elevating one's true essence as well. As long as the true essence reaches a state of completeness, one will be able to officially step into another realm.
Suppress the excitement welling up inside.
He continued to watch the endless stream of spiritual energy erupting from the heavens and earth. He didn't dare waste time, so he settled his mind and continued his cultivation.
Such an opportunity.
It may not happen even once in a hundred years.
>
If you miss this opportunity, relying on your own foundation, it will take at least a few years to break through to the celestial and human realm.
So.
In any case.
Yi Ning would never miss such an opportunity.
Time flies.
Qi flows continuously.
As for the outside world, Shen Changqing had completely ignored it.
Now he is doing his best to absorb that powerful spiritual energy of heaven and earth for himself.
The eighth stage of the True Form of Myriad Tribulations is to transform one's entire skeleton into a golden body.
>
Although Shen Changqing's bones are now golden, they are far from true Golden Body transformation.
Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!
The former is all show and no substance.
The latter possesses infinite power.
Now.
This is the end of a paragraph.
He is borrowing the energy of heaven and earth, little by little transforming his bones to a stronger level.
This process.
It takes a great deal of energy.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If one were in the outside world, it would take at least ten years to achieve bone-gold transformation through sheer willpower.
But now it's different.
This spiritual energy had accumulated for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and when it erupted all at once, it was simply unimaginable.
Shen Changqing had a premonition.
Perhaps.
He can leverage this opportunity to make a breakthrough again.
By that time.
I am only a few steps away from achieving the state of an immortal golden body.
Shen Changqing's breathing was calm and even, his pores, which had been completely closed, were now wide open.
The human body has 108,000 pores.

Now all the pores are open, absorbing spiritual energy at an astonishing rate, far exceeding human comprehension.om among the divine clans met their end at his hands.For this very reason, Ling Daoqi made many enemies among the heavens, including some of the top divine races.Later, a powerful warrior from the Zhu...
