Without the sect's renowned name and the master's awe-inspiring reputation that shakes all directions, with my subordinates' humble cultivation, it would be impossible for us to develop the Qingcheng Merchant Guild."

Zhuang Daizi beamed, but in his words there was not a trace of self-congratulation.

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

Shen Changqing looked at the cultivator in front of him. Compared to years ago, Zhuang Daozi's cultivation had improved considerably, reaching the ninth level of the Divine Lord realm.

In terms of cultivation talent, he could only be considered average.

Today, being able to break through the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Lord, it is estimated that he has also swallowed a lot of heaven and earth treasures, and used a lot of resources to succeed.

“This seat has always adhered to the principle of rewarding merit. I have seen your contributions to the development of the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce over the years.”

When Shen Changqing said this, a gleam of light flew between his hands and instantly merged into Zhuang Daizi's brow.

"The Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce is unlike before. As the head of the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce, your cultivation at the Ninth Level of the Divine Master is a bit lacking. Now, this deity bestows upon you a strand of Dao Rhyme. If you can refine it, believe that you will be able to break through to the Tenth Level of the Divine Master without any problems."

If you have a bit of fortune, perhaps you could use this to break through the limitations of the God Master and achieve the status of a Divine Lord.”

"Many thanks, Master, for your generous gift!"

Zhuang Daozi was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. He knelt before Shen Changqing and kowtowed several times heavily.

What has he been doing all these years, working so hard to develop the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce for

Isn't it just so that one day, one's achievements can be seen by the sect, and then resources are bestowed, allowing oneself to have even greater hopes for improvement.

After all, as a lone cultivator, Zhuang Daizi has spent quite some time reaching this point. The lifespan of a deity is limited, at most not exceeding one ancient era.

Now that Zhuangzi is getting old, he can see the end of his life approaching even though he hasn't reached his full lifespan.

No surprises, I hope.

He's most likely to stop at the level of God Master for his entire life.

Now that Shen Changqing has bestowed the opportunity, just a slight perception of that wisp of Dao rhyme is enough for Zhuang Daizi to understand its terrifying power.

Just in that instant, the bottleneck of his ninth level of the Divine Master realm loosened slightly. If he truly immersed himself in understanding it with all his heart and soul, breaking through to the tenth level of the Divine Master would be a certainty.

...even further, it is possible to attain the status of a divine sovereign.

Such a great opportunity, for Zhuangzi it was certainly hard to control.

Seeing Zhuang Daozi's reaction, Shen Changqing also nodded in agreement.

Such practices, like bestowing Dao rhyme, are essentially a disguised form of sacrificing one's own foundation. However, pointing the divine master towards breaking through requires only a small amount of foundation, so the impact on Shen Changqing himself is not significant.

As long as you give it some time, it will naturally recover.

To subdue a person by such small expenditures and make them truly loyal to oneself, this deal is a sure win.

Moreover, although Zhuang Daozi's cultivation and aptitude were average, his talent for business management was remarkable. At least under his leadership, the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce has steadily risen in status within Guhuang these past few years.

Subtly.

The Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce is already known as the first chamber of commerce in ancient ruins.

Even with the backing of the Qingzong, this wouldn't have been possible without Zhuang Daozi's efforts.

If a less capable cultivator took over the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce, let alone developing it into the number one chamber of commerce in the ancient wilderness, whether they could even maintain its current foundation would be a question.

Then.

Shen Changqing again handed a piece of jade slips about to break to Zhuang Daozi.

"This is the Xuanling Fu Jing, a third-rank middle grade master's inheritance. For you, a wandering cultivator, to achieve the second rank of Fu Dao Master, it shows that your talent and attainment in Fu Dao are exceptional."

Though the Xuanling Fu Jing isn't a top-tier transmission, it shouldn't be a problem for you to break through to the third rank of the Fu Dao Grandmaster someday.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

Zhuang Daozi received the Xuan Ling Fu Jing as if it were an invaluable treasure.

In his view, the inheritance of a third-rank middle-grade talisman master is more important than that of a god-king of the same rank.

“The rewards I'm willing to give are not stingy, but regarding the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce, this seat hopes you won't be careless. Otherwise, the things I can bestow upon you, I can also take back. Do you understand”

Shen Changqing's smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and his expression became much more serious.

Zhuang Daozi was jolted and hurriedly bowed, "Master, please rest assured. I will manage the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce properly. Otherwise, I will take my head to see you!"

"That's best."

Shen Changqing nodded.

He didn't stay long in the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce, carrying eighty million Nether Spirit Stones as he drifted away.

And then.

Sheng Changqing's only task was to retreat into seclusion.

Since the Qingzong sect is currently free from external threats and enjoys the resources of Guhuang alone, he naturally wouldn't waste this opportunity.

Shen Changqing hadn't forgotten his purpose for entering Gu Huang. It was nothing more than to utilize the environment of Gu Huang to cultivate and advance himself further.

There are rules in the heavens that suppress all cultivators. After they reach the peak of the Divine Monarch, they find it difficult to make any progress. To truly break through and become a powerful figure like a God Emperor, they need to step into the Netherworld.

Otherwise.

...must wait for the suppression of the celestial rules to eliminate it once again.

However.

In the midst of great tribulation.

Every action must be time-sensitive.

If we were to wait slowly for the rules of heaven to suppress and eliminate us, that would be the end of the human race.

Therefore.

Shen Changqing naturally wanted to seize any opportunity to cultivate.

Just as he now has the Qingzong sect as his backing, a sect to support him, he can cultivate without worry for the time being.

When the resources of Tianshu Holy Land ran out, and cultivation became slow, Shen Changqing was able to accept it.

“As long as I break through immortality, I will have the true right to control my own destiny, and I can also lead humanity to rise again and restore the glory of ancient times!”

Shen Changqing took a deep breath, and his heart gradually calmed down.

Although he wasn't originally from this world, his previous life had only spanned a few decades. However, here, he had lived for thousands of years.

Needless to say, there's a strong sense of belonging there.

Then.

Shen Changqing refined the Nether Spirit Stone, and the vast spiritual power nourished his soul. This allowed him to once again step into the Netherworld Rule River, observing the Netherworld Dao and verifying himself, gradually raising the level of his Extreme Dao Fa.

In the raging river of rules, the two sides churned with furious waves and black-and-gray power rampaged, making it particularly terrifying.

"The power of the Dark Forbidden One is stronger than ever!"

Shen Changqing looked at the black ocean before him. This was the embodiment of the Dark Forbidden Lord's power. Unlike before, the black ocean was growing larger now, and the gray ocean representing the Netherworld rules was gradually being eroded and retreated.

Thus, it can be seen.

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

How terrifying is the power of the Dark Lord.

Feeling the eerie and ominous presence in the black ocean, Shen Changqing seemed to have a strange voice guiding him from the depths of his being, urging him to embrace the darkness of the forbidden lord.

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

As long as you step into the black abyss and refine the power of the Dark Lord, you can obtain eternal life and immortal power.

However.

When this strange force was about to erode Shen Changqing's own body, the Kunlun Divine Mountain in his識海 suddenly shone brightly, blocking all of this strange force outside.

At the same time.

Shen Changqing was also clear-headed, and the look of apprehension in his eyes was already obvious.

"As expected, compared to before, the power of the Dark Sovereign is indeed growing stronger. Such an existence is definitely not comparable to ordinary divine immortals!"

In the past, when Shen Changqing cultivated in the long river of the Netherworld, he had also witnessed the black ocean, but he had never been as bewitched by such a strange and ominous force as he was now.

Fortunately, he cultivated the Town Mountain Seal, which made his psychic sea stable. Coupled with his own cultivation not being weak, this kind of strange power was not enough to confuse him.

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

But if it were an ordinary cultivator, perhaps they would have already become a complete slave to the Dark Forbidden Lord at this moment.

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

This is not good news.

The power of the Dark Lord is growing stronger, indicating that more and more cultivators from the Netherworld will join the ranks of the Dark Lord.

Even the river of Underworld rules is not necessarily a safe place.

As for what the consequences of embracing the Darkness Lord's embrace would be, Shen Changqing didn't need to think about it to understand. At that time, himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't be the original him anymore.

Therefore, Shen Changqing was deeply wary of the power of the Dark Lord and had no intention of touching it at all.

But now the power of the Dark Lord is growing day by day, which also makes Shen Changqing feel uneasy.

The power of the Dark Lord is growing, and it seems that more cultivators are flocking to the dark camp. The balance between the two camps cannot be maintained for too long.

The moment the balance is broken, will be the time when the Nether Army completely collapses.”

Shen Changqing pondered silently.

He doesn't think the Underworld camp has the ability to fight against the Dark camp.

Even now.

The clash between the two sides also saw the dark camp gaining the upper hand.

Upon further observing the Ghost Realm's camp, it was clear they were suffering setbacks at every turn.

It's only because the Netherworld camp is deeply rooted and has reinforcements from the celestial realms that it can temporarily maintain the situation and avoid major problems.

Now the power of the Dark Forbidden Lord is growing stronger, destined for more cultivators to join the dark camp. Once the power of the dark camp reaches a certain level, this delicate balance will inevitably be broken.

Back then.

The Underworld will fall into utter chaos.

Even the ancient desolate lands could not remain peaceful for too long.

After all.

In ancient times, there were entrances to the heavens.

If the forces of darkness truly crush the Netherworld camp and become supreme, they will inevitably march their armies straight towards the heavens.

At that time.

>

The ancient wasteland will also be engulfed in war, and the Qingzong sect will certainly not be able to remain unscathed.

"There isn't much time left for the Underworld camp, and neither is there much time left for me. Right now, I have to increase my cultivation level as quickly as possible."

Even if immortality cannot be proven, at least there should be the ability to counter it.

Otherwise, even in the midst of a great flood, you would be no more than an ant. How could such a being have any right to influence the situation!

Shen Changqing's expression returned to calm. He no longer looked in the direction of the black ocean, his whole being focused on the Netherworld Rule River, comprehending the power of the Netherworld Rules from within and using it as nourishment for his own Dao. While Shen Changqing was comprehending the Netherworld Rules, the black sun representing the extreme law in his physical body's cave heaven also became increasingly brilliant and radiant. The ghostly light covered the entire cave heaven, as if undergoing a subtle transformation.stantly appeared on his face."Found it!"Generally speaking.With his cultivation at the eighth level of the Divine Realm, it wouldn't be difficult to find a place with a lineage within such a vast doma...
