Chapter 170: Heavenly Soldiers of Twelve Ranks

layer who was in the midst of reporting.The imperial court's affairs are progressing smoothly, and the Demon Suppression Division also needs to handle some matters from various regions.After all, the..."The world changes like the shifting sands of time! Everything is in constant flux."

In the chaos, Qingyi could still sense what was happening around her, and couldn't help but sigh.

And with his aged voice, it really sounded as if he had weathered countless storms.

>

Shen Changqing listened to the other person's words while also sensing the surroundings. As soon as any rule-based wind attacks occurred, he would dodge them immediately.

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

"Do any of you seniors know anything about the chaotic forbidden zone"

He spoke and asked.

I was like a headless fly in the chaotic forbidden zone, dodging the attacks of the rules' gale force winds while also preventing the chaos spirits from getting to me.

Since Qing Yi has existed in the chaotic forbidden zone for tens of millions of years, she might have a great deal of knowledge about this place.

That way.

> As long as he leaves the chaotic restricted area, there is hope.

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

Qingyi's voice was strange: "What is a chaotic forbidden zone I've never heard of it."

"Don't you know about the Chaos Zone"

This time, Shen Changqing's face was stunned...

Immediately.

He seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior, back then, wasn't there a chaotic forbidden zone"

"No."

Qingyi answered very readily.

“Anything involving the term 'forbidden zone' is basically some kind of dangerous place. Back then, there were only a few places that could be called forbidden zones. The first was the Death Forbidden Zone, where the Qinglian Emperor had once passed through. It was a place of great terror.”

The second restricted area is the boundless void suspended above the divine kingdoms of myriad celestial races.

In the boundless void, Void Demons exist. The reason why God Nations can exist there is largely due to the protection of faith power. Without the protection of faith power, those God Nations would be finished.

The third restricted area is the underworld.

"Do seniors know a lot about the underworld"

Shen Changqing asked.

He had once heard some information about the Underworld from an ancient spirit, but it was only a little bit, and he didn't know much about it.

"Qingyi said: "The old man of Youming naturally understands. Back then, Emperor Qinglian also entered Youming and fought with the strong in Youming. Yes, Youming is the truly powerful existence."

Throughout history, all powerful beings who have fallen and not been reborn will remain in the underworld.

You can imagine what it would be like if countless fallen powerhouses from throughout history gathered together.

Shen Changqing's expression was solemn.

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

If we follow Qing Yi's method, then the horrors of the underworld would be readily imaginable.

Since the opening of the heavens and earth.

How many strong people have fallen throughout history.

This is a number that is difficult to quantify.

If those powerful beings remained in the Underworld without reincarnation, then the number of powerful beings in the Underworld would be more terrifying than all the celestial races combined.

And then.

He thought of another problem.

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

"Senior, could it be that after a living being dies and enters the underworld, as long as they are willing, they can remain in the underworld forever without having to reincarnate"

If that is the case.

Then perhaps all the countless races of the myriad heavens have no true death.

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

After all, if one dies they enter the underworld and continue to exist there. It's not much different from not dying at all.

In the midst of chaos.

Qingyi had once again transformed into the old man's form and, upon hearing this, shook her head: "That is impossible. To exist eternally in the Netherworld, one must possess specific conditions. Otherwise, any creature who dies will remain in the Netherworld.

If time passes, won't there be any new beings born

And

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

"Amongst all the celestial races, if one falls in battle there is still a chance to enter the Netherworld. However, if one were to fall within the Netherworld, they would truly vanish without a trace."

"The harshness of the underworld is far more severe than you imagine."

The cruelty of the underworld.

Unless you actually go inside, there's no way to truly understand it.

However, Shen Changqing heard something else in the other person's words.

"If one day the beings in the underworld no longer reincarnate, wouldn't all the celestial beings and races cease to exist"

"That's not necessarily true."

Qingyi shook her head.

“The creation of spirits is a matter of chance and coincidence. While most newborn spirits originate from reincarnation in the underworld, a portion are naturally conceived within the heavens by celestial rules bestowing upon them life.

Otherwise, when the heavens had just been created and no beings existed, and the Netherworld was also empty, how could it have evolved into its current state.

Shen Changqing's heart suddenly understood.

That's right.

If any living being relies on the existence in the underworld for reincarnation, then how did the first living beings appear

This is something that anyone with common sense can figure out.

He was just caught in a moment of confusion and therefore overlooked this most fundamental issue.

This is the time.

Qing Yi suddenly spoke again: "Your chaotic forbidden zone, I think I understand what's going on."

"Do you know"

“I had passed by here before. The Azure Lotus Emperor once fought here with powerful beings from all realms. That battle resulted in countless strong warriors falling, and even the heavens and earth were shattered."

After the fall of the powerful, the rules of the great Dao shattered and fell into the void. Over time, they evolved into this form.

Qingyi arrived here and paused for a moment.

"The rules of emptiness here are chaotic, quite fitting for such a symbol. If your zone of chaos is here, then this place should be the result of the battle that the Emperor Qinglian waged back then."

Although I was imprisoned by the Emperor's seal, I witnessed the changes here with my own eyes.

“What realm of existence is the Azure Lotus Emperor, to be able to create such destruction!”

Shen Changqing was shocked.

He never expected that the chaotic forbidden zone was formed by the battle between the Azure Lotus Emperor and powerful beings from all heavens and realms.

You know.

The chaotic zone is extremely dangerous, and even divine beings of the Chaos Divine rank exist here.

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

It's hard to imagine.

Those capable of creating such a place would be in what kind of situation.

"Realm" Qingyi fell into thought once again, after a long while she shook her head. "Forgotten, I don't remember much, anyway, it was far stronger than yours now. It's a pity that the Imperial Court is gone now, and the human race has fallen to this state."

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

Between words, he was full of sighs.

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

During the time she secluded herself in the desolate valley, Qing Yi also learned about the current state of the human race from Shen Changqing.

He never could have imagined.

The once-dominant human race that held sway over the heavens has now fallen to such a state.

It's not just that the imperial court is gone.

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

The remaining humans were almost completely exterminated by the myriad celestial races.

Only a small number of humans remain, huddled in a tiny corner of the world, and they are even oppressed by the demon clan.

“Get up, the Black Demon Clan in the Death Zone is quite powerful, but the Heart Demon Clan and the Monster Clan below the Black Demon Clan were like ants during the imperial court.”

Never would I have thought that the burden would now be on the human race.

Qing Yi thought of some things again.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing didn't mind that much.

He sort of understood.

This ancient Taoist text is somewhat unreliable when it comes to memory, and it's difficult to extract any useful information from it.

But.

Even so.

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

Qingyi's role is also quite significant.

That's all.

The fact that the other party is confident enough to withstand the attacks of the God Master is already enough.

During the peak of your senior years, what level were you at with your Dao soldiers

Then Shen Changqing asked.

The content within the > tags is:

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

A soldier capable of withstanding the attacks of a deity's lord is not something ordinary soldiers can achieve.

The Twelve Ranks of Dao Soldiers.

From the eleventh rank onwards, one transcends the level of a God King and enters a realm comparable to that of a God Master.

And yet, he dared to defy the attack of the Divine Lord without any possibility of recovery. According to his guess, the other party was very likely the legendary Twelve Rank Dao Soldiers.

At the thought of this possibility, his heart skipped a beat.

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

Twelve ranks of Dao soldiers!

Even if I had gone undercover in the Zhōngshān clan for so long, I had never heard of any clan possessing such formidable dao soldiers.

Take the Zhongshan clan as an example.

On the surface, the strongest are the Dao soldiers of the eighth rank.

As for those of rank eight and above.

Shen Changqing had never seen it before.

"Troops of the Dao"

Qingyi's face was full of disdain, as if she had heard a joke.

"You actually think I'm just a lowly Daoist soldier How ridiculous!"

When.

Could even a lowly foot soldier dare to bump into me like that

Shen Changqing's eyes changed slightly: "Could it be that Senior is more than just a soldier"

"Of course."

In the midst of chaos, Qingyi stood with her hands behind her back, like an unparalleled powerhouse suppressing the chaos. Her temperament had completely changed, and her voice was also low and deep.

>

"The twelve ranks of Dao Soldiers, if they can transcend the restrictions of the twelve ranks, they will be able to further transform and become immortal holy soldiers that are not eroded by time."

Any immortal holy weapon possesses immense power.

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

“Then I shall be the immortal holy weapon!”

After finishing her performance in green, she slightly raised her head, as if reminiscing about something.

> On the other side.

When Shen Changqing heard the other person's words, his heart was greatly shaken.

Immortal Holy Armament!

He thought that the Dao Bing twelve ranks was the limit, but he didn't expect that there were even immortal sacred soldiers above the Dao Bing.

Chen Changqing didn't think Qingyi was lying; the other party had no need to lie.

In other words.

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

At his peak, he truly transcended the existence of a Dao soldier.

That's all.

>

This also makes it clear from the side why the other party has such great confidence.

Dao soldiers starting from the eleventh rank had already entered the level of divine masters. As for what level the twelfth-rank Dao soldiers were, he was still unclear.

But.

As an immortal holy weapon surpassing Dao soldiers, it must be even mightier.

If Qing Yi can fully recover one day, and if I still possess the Immortal Armament, in the Divine Sovereign realm, I'm afraid no one would be able to do anything to me.

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

However.

Shen Changqing was not too complacent.

Before encountering Qingyi, he thought that the God Lord was almost the pinnacle of all races in heaven. As long as one possessed power comparable to that of the God Lord, there would be a chance for the human race to gain a foothold among the heavens.

But now.

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

But things turned out to be completely different.

How powerful is the Human Imperial Court

Shen Changqing was unclear.

But the might of the Azure Lotus Emperor could be seen simply from the Chaos Forbidden Zone.

Here's the text translated into English:

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

By combat alone, one side shall be reduced to nothing.

Then wait for the strength.

... are by no means comparable to the deities.

But even those of this level of power are unable to escape the fate of falling.

...but even the vast imperial court, must be more terrifying than the Jade Emperor of Qinglian, but it still vanished without a trace.

Therefore, it can be seen.

The strength of all the celestial clans is definitely not as simple as what they appear on the surface.

Still need to keep a low profile!

Shen Changqing sighed inwardly.

When he first entered the myriad realms of heaven, he thought that becoming a god king would allow him to secure a place for himself.

After learning about the strength of all the heavenly races, I thought to myself that if I became the God Sovereign, I would be able to protect the human race.

>

But now.

From Qing Yi's words, Shen Changqing glimpsed the power of the former human imperial court and the might of Qing Lian Di Jun who created the chaotic forbidden zone. After that, Shen Changqing understood that even if he became the God Master, it would still be very difficult for the human race to stand tall among the heavens.

“The journey is long and arduous!”

He let out a sigh.

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

The road ahead is long and arduous.

What could be stronger than the God Master, Shen Changqing didn't ask.

Since the other party has forgotten even the strength of Emperor Qinglian, they probably wouldn't know what exists above the God Lord.

That's all.

Even if you know, what can you do about it.

>

That state of being is far beyond my reach.

Boom boom boom!!!

The void before their eyes shattered, and a chaotic divine spirit descended from the sky. Its formless face was filled with violent energy.

Looking at the chaotic divine spirits before him, Shen Changqing frowned. He didn't flee but instead transformed his body into a colossal size and directly engaged them in battle.

An ordinary God King-level chaotic divine spirit doesn't even have the qualification to escape.

To be able to kill him.

Obtaining the inner rule-stone, is also a good treasure.

In the chaos.

When Qing Yi saw the chaotic spirits, she couldn't help but speak: "If this old man is not mistaken, these are beings born from the rules of disorder existing in the void for too long."

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

They are powerful, but all their strength comes from the rules.

If you can slay it, you should be able to obtain a portion of its power crystals.

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

If you were able to gather a large amount of Power Crystals, you might be able to directly open up a cave heaven.

In the time of desolation.

Although there are occasional attacks from chaotic spirits.

But.

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

Those chaotic deities couldn't break through the restrictions set by Emperor Qinglian, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

But now things are different.

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

Up close, Qingyi noticed something different.

"Senior, are there other ways to open up a cave heaven"

Shen Changqing was engaged in a fierce battle with the chaotic spirit. Upon hearing the other party's words, he momentarily diverted his attention to inquire about it.

He now knows two clear methods of opening up a heavenly cave, but neither is something he can do right now.

If there were a third way to open the heavenly realm, it would save a lot of time.

And.

Once the cave heaven is successfully opened, one's own strength will also undergo a huge transformation.

>

Within the Heavenly Cave Realm.

In terms of strength, the major transformation has occurred in three stages.

The first stage is to complete one cycle of the middle week.

The text you provided, "A cave heaven is just a cave heaven.

If it's weak, then it's weak.

As for face or reputation, it's nothing compared to the importance of freedom.

For tens of millions of years in this desolate valley, he had waited until he was bored to death.

At this rate, Qingyi suspects she's going to develop depression.

In comparison.

Finding a master, even a mere Cave Heaven cultivator, would be the perfect escape from that dreadful place. It'd be a huge gain!

Of course.

If it's possible to break free and leave without being bound, that would be the best.

Unfortunately.

The other party didn't give themselves this opportunity.

The outside world.

>

Shen Changqing had already suppressed the chaotic divine spirit.

Although their strength is both at the level of the Sun and Moon God Kings, in terms of physical strength, he is clearly superior.

So.

After a period of stalemate in the battle, the scales of victory began to tilt in his favor.

Boom!

Two towering figures, their feet treading on the void, clashed in a terrifying battle. Their formidable power reverberated outwards, shattering the emptiness for millions of miles.

Suddenly.

Shen Changqing's heart rose to a warning, he didn't even think, just dodged towards the side.

Next breath.

That chaotic spirit seemed to have encountered some terrible attack, its left body directly shattered, the pain causing it to let out an angry roar.

"Here comes the opportunity!"

Seeing this, Shen Changqing's mouth curled into a sneer.

As expected.

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

Even he couldn't withstand the gale of rules, and that chaotic spirit couldn't either.

If it were during normal times, with the other party's skill and perception, they would be able to sense the arrival of the rule cyclone wind, thus having a chance to dodge.

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

But now, it is in a state of intense fighting.

Arcane spirits act purely on instinct. In the heat of battle, all they can think about is killing; how could they possibly dodge a rule-bound gale

So.

When the tyrannical gale struck, the chaotic spirits were instantly crippled.

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

Shen Changqing would certainly not miss this opportunity.

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

When the chaotic spirits were severely injured, it was a full-force attack, charging towards them.

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

Boom!!

The boundless might crushed the void and slammed heavily onto the chaotic deities.

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

Under the influence of terrifying power, the opponent's body shattered and broke piece by piece.

...until the last punch lands.

The chaotic spirit screamed in agony, then fell silent. All that remained where it once stood was a single piece of regular divine stone.

Grasp the rule-stone.

Chen Changqing directly threw it into the chaotic flesh body.

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

Just like last time.

As soon as the Rule Stone fell into the Chaos, it was enveloped by a large amount of chaotic energy, constantly absorbing the energy and rules contained within it.

After a long time.

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

The power of the Rule Stone dissipated completely.

Shen Changqing strode through the air, leaving this place directly.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!ators from the Huan Shan Divine Clan who fell, their broken corpses mixed with blood, scattered throughout the void.Hearing the screams around him, the Lord's expression remained unchanged. He looked...
