Chapter 1710: Half-Step Great Power

e world someday.The human race today.What's lacking is a sufficient number of strong individuals.Shen Changqing shook his head: "That ancient powerhouse wasn't a human powerhouse, and the human one wa..."Whew!"

Seeing the three cultivators leave, Xuezhongzi suddenly let out a breath of relief. His original levitating form also became unstable, nearly falling headfirst.

"Fortunately, they feared Patriarch Hongling, or else this time they would have been in grave danger!"

Thinking about it.

Xue Hongzi bowed respectfully towards the direction where Hong Lingzu was.

“Junior Blood Hongzi, this time many thanks to the ancestor for saving my life!”

The deity's power is vast and their supernatural abilities are boundless.

Xue Hongzi understood that what happened here would certainly not escape the other party's perception.

Like such venerable predecessors, even if they disliked conflict, they wouldn't be willing to let people casually use their reputation.

For safety's sake.

It's unusual for Xue Hongzi to be so respectful.

For a while.

There was no sound or movement to be heard.

Xue Hongzi was not surprised, but straightened up again.

"As it seems, the Red Ridge Ancestor truly doesn't care about worldly affairs as rumored, and only focuses on cultivation."

Although those three cultivators were intimidated by the God Sovereign's reputation, they certainly wouldn't leave so easily. If I left here in my current state, I would be easily ambushed...

Xuehongzi looked outside. The mountains overlapped, the trees were lush, and everything seemed so peaceful.

But beneath this tranquility, a terrifying murderous intent lurks.

This is a placeholder for content.

That is all.

>

Xue Hongzi was also a little envious.

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

He envied not others, but the Red Ridge Ancestor.

The opponent didn't physically appear; just by using their name, they could make three top-level divine cultivators retreat in fear. This shows how terrifying the reputation of a divine monarch is.

At last.

Xue Hongzi didn't have a place here, so he found an uninhabited mountain peak and directly opened up a cave dwelling to live in temporarily.

“Hongling the Ancestor is interesting!”

Inside the cave dwelling, Shen Changqing looked at the situation outside and shook his head slightly.

He never expected that by simply closing himself off here, he would inexplicably become the legendary Red Ridge Ancestor.

Over the years in the Hongling Mountains, Shen Changqing had seen firsthand the competition and struggle among wandering cultivators. Even just this small Hongling Mountain Range was a place of constant conflict.

Given the circumstances, it's easy to imagine how things are going outside.

Now.

>

Shen Changqing could also feel that the tribulation energy permeating the entire underworld was becoming more and more intense. Under the shroud of tribulation energy, the fighting between cultivators would only become more fierce.

However.

As of now.

The conflict in the Hongling Mountains, for now, poses no threat to him.

"Having spent over two hundred years in the Hongling Mountains, I still haven't broken through to the Grandmaster realm. It seems I need to find a new approach!"

Shen Changqing refocused his attention on himself.

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

Since he came to the Hongling Mountains, it has been over two hundred years.

The first thirty years.

After comprehending the fragments of Dao rules at the level of a god king, Shen Changqing spent the next two hundred years comprehending fragments of Dao rules at the level of a divine emperor.

More than two hundred years.

He had thoroughly contemplated and refined all the fragments of his own Dao principles.

Under the numerous rules and rhymes of Tao, Shen Changqing had a deeper understanding of the unification of all paths.

>If two hundred years ago, Shen Changqing had just stepped into the Dao fruit's completeness, then today, he is truly standing at the door leading to the next realm.

>

Just push open the door to the realm with your hands, and you can break through to the great power realm in one breath.

However —

Pushing open the door seems like a simple step, but the difficulty involved is beyond ordinary description.

Up to this point.

Shen Changqing had never truly broken through the shackles of the Great Ability Realm.

For every degree of understanding he gains about the rules, it only causes his Dao fruit to move forward slightly. That is all.

This is the time.

The figure in green also appeared.

“My Lord, to have cultivated from the initial stage of Dao fruit completion to being just half a step away from becoming a great power in over two hundred years is truly remarkable progress.”

In ancient times, how many brilliant geniuses wanted to transcend the realm of Dao Fruit and enter the Great Power realm. It all required a long time of meticulous refinement.

Not even tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years, will be enough to truly break through this barrier.

>

Your Reverence has been able to step into a realm comparable to that of a half-step Grandmaster within two hundred years, which is truly remarkable.

Given the current circumstances, it would be a simple matter for Your Excellency to hone your skills for hundreds of years and break through to the realm of great powers!

Looking at the person before him, Qing Yi spoke seriously.

He could feel that Shen Changqing had been a little anxious these years.

That's also normal.

The other party's cultivation has always been astonishingly fast. It's unprecedented that they would be stuck at a certain realm for over two hundred years.

Having been in seclusion for over two hundred years, he still hasn't broken through to the realm of great powers. It's natural to feel anxious about it.

That's it.

Qing Yi wouldn't possibly stand idly by, so she would naturally step forward to remind him.

This is almost the shortcoming of all prodigies.

Cultivation has always been smooth sailing, but once you encounter a bottleneck in a certain place, you will begin to doubt yourself, which can affect your own progress. In severe cases, it's not uncommon for demons to be born from these doubts.

Upon hearing Qingyi's words, Shen Changqing was also startled, and then let out a long breath.

“As my senior said, I was indeed a bit too hasty.”

More than two hundred years.

Although he did not break through to the realm of Great Power, he also took a step forward in the realm of complete Dao fruit.

Half-step Grandmaster!

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

As Qingyi said, she should now be half a step into the realm beyond the Dao Fruit. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is half a great being.

Just saying.

A half-step powerhouse will always only be a half-step, not truly a powerful powerhouse.

“My mind is a bit chaotic now. Even if I continue to retreat and comprehend the rules for hundreds of years, it will be difficult to truly make a breakthrough!”

Shen Changqing took a deep breath, then slowly said.

He is very aware of his current state.

Cultivation emphasizes a balance of relaxation and tension.

Now I'm clearly getting impatient and gradually falling into a dangerous situation. Luckily, Qingyi reminded me in time, otherwise the road ahead would only become harder and harder to walk.

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

Now that he was awake, Shen Changqing did not continue to comprehend the power of the rules. Instead, he turned his attention to studying the Xuanling Fu Jing.

"All paths in heaven and earth lead to the same destination. Since comprehending the Dao rules of other powerful beings hasn't allowed me to break through, perhaps I can find a breakthrough from other aspects. Maybe the Xuanling Fu Jing will also allow me to find the path to becoming a mighty being!"

With such thoughts in mind, Shen Changqing devoted all his attention to the Xuanling Fu Jing.

The Classic of Xuanling Fu!

The inheritance left behind by a master of the Third Rank, Middle Grade Fu Dao Sect.

This transmission is incredibly complete.

From the first-order talismans to the later sixth-order talismans, and even the third-order master talismans, they are all complete.

Among.

The first-level talismans correspond to the realm of spirit communication.

The second-order talismans correspond to the Nascent Soul realm.

The third layer of the soul's essence.

>Fourth-order Transcendence.

Entering the Fifth Stage of Holiness.

>

The Sixth Heaven.

A First-Rank Grandmaster is comparable to a God King.

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

The grandmaster of the second rank is on par with a god.

A Third-Grade Grandmaster is equivalent to a Divine Lord.

That can be said.

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

In the transmission of many divine realms, the completeness of the Xuan Ling Fu Jing and its low entry threshold are the first Shen Changqing has ever seen.

>

After all, the inheritance of other deities generally starts from the Divine Realm, and some even start from the Divine King realm.

To cultivate these divine monarch inheritances, you must first step into the corresponding realm.

Otherwise.

Even if one masters the passed-down teachings, there is no method for entering cultivation.

But the Xuan Ling Fu Jing is different.

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

Beginners of spiritualism.

>

This corresponds to the innate realm equivalent to that of humans.

This threshold is incredibly low.

To be frank.

Even if the Xuan Ling Fu Jing were dropped on a street in the Human Realm, anyone who picked it up would be qualified to cultivate.

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

After all, the humans of today are born at the extreme limit.

Extreme Limit.

The corresponding is the peak of transforming into a god.

With Shen Changqing's current cultivation base, comprehending the Xuanling talismans was like a top-tier expert comprehending the esoteric arts practiced by ordinary cultivators - almost instantly understood.

Many things that are obscure and difficult to understand for ordinary cultivators, Shen Changqing could also easily comprehend.

Half an hour.

This is a placeholder text.

Chen Changqing had cultivated the Xuanling Fu Jing to the fifth level.

He casually took a stone from inside the cave and, using his finger as a brush, randomly carved the corresponding patterns on it. In less than a breath, the talisman was complete.

The next moment.

Shen Changqing poured his power into the stone, and in an instant, the runes were activated. Fire erupted, a rolling heat wave rising, illuminating the entire cave with a fiery red glow.

In just a few breaths, the heat wave dissipated.

The stone that once held the talismans also shattered.

"Fifth-Rank Perfect Talisman Heavenly Fire Talisman!"

Shen Changqing recalled the power of the Tianhuo Fu just now.

A perfect-grade, fifth-rank superior talisman.

>

Equivalent to a full-powered strike of complete enlightenment.

But judging from just that strike, the Heavenfire Talisman, which should have only been a fifth-grade top product, had unexpectedly reached the level of a sixth-grade lower product.

Here is the English translation:

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

That is to say.

>

That strike.

No weaker than a strike from a Divine Realm cultivator.

The reason for this is also very simple, because Shen Changqing's current realm is too high. The low-level talismans he carves will be endowed with power that does not belong to him.

There's one more thing.

This refers to Shen Changqing's seclusion in his cave dwelling for over two hundred years, where he diligently contemplated the power of the Dao's rules at every moment.

Those rules and rhymes that escaped also unknowingly integrated into all parts of the cave dwelling. What appeared to be an ordinary stone had undergone no small amount of transformation, and placed in the outside world it would be considered quite good material.

With such materials carrying the runes, and Shen Changqing personally crafting them, it is only natural that these talismans, which should only be at the level of a fifth-rank superior grade, exhibit the power of a sixth-rank lower grade attack.

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

But.

Shen Changqing also understood.

He drew the talismans with ease, as if they were light and carefree. This was partly due to the fact that these talismans were too low-level. If he were to inscribe truly powerful and top-tier talismans, he would need to be absolutely prepared.

After all, the best carrier for talismans is the strong beast's fur, or some natural treasures born of heaven and earth.

>

Just like that, wanting to directly carve out a successful result by simply grabbing a stone is impossible.

After trying out the power of the talismans, Shen Changqing continued to ponder the Xuanling Fu Jing.

The fifth-rank spell master is too weak.

In his view, he should at least step into the level of a three-tiered talisman master. (The End)
