Chapter 151: In a Turbulent World, Strength is Paramount
on's masters go far beyond what the Demon Suppression Division possesses.However.He couldn't be sure if the formidable monster in Fengyun Village was the only one appearing within the capital's jurisd...Shen Changqing, who had changed into a new set of clothes, was standing there.
I'm back!
After following the Black Tiger Army into the city, he didn't linger long and headed straight back to the capital from the Dahuang Mansion.
Because of his breakthrough to the Master level, even without using a fast horse, Shen Changqing's traveling speed was more than twice as fast as before.
Therefore.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
After just a few days, he was already back in the capital.
Looking at the gate of Zhenmo Si, Shen Changqing's heart surged with that familiar feeling, once again.
>
He didn't hesitate for too long.
He strode into the main gate of the Demon Suppression Division.
From the time I left to now, it's been just about a month. The Demon Suppression Division hasn't undergone any major changes.
After quickly identifying the way, Shen Changqing returned to his own courtyard.
Open the door.

Everything remains the same.

When he returned to the bedroom, a wave of mildew hit him. He activated his true qi and packed up all the mildew smell and threw it away.
After a good cleaning, the room was restored to its former glory.
On the table.
A large amount of medicinal herbs were laid out there.
Because it was inconvenient to carry, Shen Changqing did not bring the elixir he purchased last time at Zhenba Pavilion to Dahuangfu.

"Let's take a rest today and try promoting again tomorrow."
On the road, without stopping, Shen Changqing also felt some fatigue.
All he needed to do now was recover his expended energy and then he could focus on advancing to the next rank.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
Break through the realm of Grandmaster.
To be honest, Shen Changqing already has the qualifications to be promoted to a Land-Level Demon Slayer.
>
That's all.
For equal-level promotions, besides meeting the required skill level, you still need to complete corresponding assessment tasks.
However—
Shen Changqing took out the Qingling Jade Pendant from his arms. The jade pendant's color was long gone, replaced by an inky blackness.
The number of demons and monsters slain in Jincheng was not large, but each individual possessed considerable strength. Especially the Red Robed one from the Eternal Life Alliance; that person was nearly at the level of a master cultivator.
"Huang Jie has been promoted to the Xuan rank of Demon Slayer. The barbaric priest I killed is enough to consume, and the remaining promotion from Xuan rank to Di rank, killing a near-master level demon should not be a problem."
It's just that they used it for promotion, which resulted in some loss of merit points. However, it's nothing serious.
Shen Changqing pondered inwardly.
Currently, the use of his achievement points doesn't seem to be very significant.
At least.
Here's the translation:

Among the items that Huang Jie's demon-slaying tools can be exchanged for, there isn't a single one that is beneficial to oneself.
Moreover, the most important thing is.

Shen Changqing's improvement lies in killing demons.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As long as you slay demons and receive kill points, your own strength will increase step by step, without needing much else.
In the past.
He wouldn't unilaterally promote himself to a higher level because that would also increase the difficulty and danger of the missions he received.
> Just the battle at Da Huang Mansion gave Shen Changqing a great deal of confidence.
With his current ability.
>
In the world of Demon Slayers, not being considered a weakling is already quite something.
It's all good, promotion is promotion anyway, nothing major will change.
On the contrary.
The stronger the demonic creatures are, the more kill points they offer.
No other comments.
Now, it takes sixteen points of killing value to level up. This will increase exponentially in the future.
Ordinary low-grade ghosts, the experience points they offer aren't even enough to raise an existing martial art by a level.
That is to say.
Only demonic beings of the innate realm can grant enough kill points to raise one's martial arts level by a tier.
> Most importantly.
After breaking the limits of martial arts, each level's increase is actually not very significant.
For example, the invincibility boost from levels 15 to 17 is only about the same as the boost given by levels 13 and 14.
Therefore, it can be seen.
Though martial arts seem to require little killing value now, in actuality, it's just a weakening of the amplification. The true amount of killing value consumed to increase one's strength by even a small amount is already considerable.
And.
Demons exist throughout the Qin Dynasty, not confined to a single location. If he were only to slay ghosts of the You level, Shen Changqing felt that simply traveling would waste most of his time.
That's it.
What you put in and what you get out can't always be proportional.
Only by raising your rank and slaying more powerful demons can you significantly increase your gains in a short period of time.
"In a chaotic world, strength is the most important!"
Shen Changqing's eyes were deep.
The more intense the fighting became, the more he realized the importance of strength.
When faced with a desperate situation, even with vast wealth or overwhelming power, there is no use.
Only strength matters.
only then can one carve out a path to survival.
Especially now.
The barbarian tribes attacked Dahuang Mansion for no apparent reason, which made Shen Changqing instinctively sense that something was amiss. Coupled with the current situation in the Qin Dynasty, where chaos and unrest were escalating, it was no joke.
Calm down.

Shen Changqing was meditating to cultivate his spirit.
One night passed quietly.
When the sky was just beginning to lighten, he got up from his bed and came out into the yard.
The morning mist, combined with the lack of bright sunlight, made the surrounding vision somewhat slightly blurred.
Shen Changqing faced the east, secretly operating his Tianwu Gangqi. A wisp of purple Qi drifted over and, accompanying a breath he took in, fell into his abdomen.
“If I could continuously absorb and cultivate the purple energy, my true energy strength would definitely increase significantly. Every day, I can only ingest a wisp of purple energy.”
The purple qi of heaven and earth.
It truly is a marvel of nature.
Shen Changqing to this day hadn't figured out where that wisp of purple qi came from. Perhaps it originated from the heavens and earth, or maybe it came from the golden crow that illuminated the land.
Anyway.
Every time the sun rises, purple qi is born from between heaven and earth.
Purple qi can appear quickly, and disappear just as fast.
The whole process was just a fleeting moment.
This led to a situation where any cultivator who wanted to absorb purple qi for cultivation could only capture a single strand. By the time they wanted to capture a second strand, the purple qi had already vanished.
After swallowing a strand of purple qi.
Shen Changqing used his true energy to digest it, and then practiced martial arts in the courtyard.
His martial arts in the panel, Bai Zhan Dao Fa, had in some ways already surpassed the limitations of the panel.
However.
Although only the true meaning exists within the panel, the moves have already been completely engraved into Shen Changqing's mind. For him now, he no longer needs to painstakingly cultivate the Hundred Battles Sword Technique, he only needs to continuously comprehend its true meaning.
The true essence of the Hundred Battles Sword Technique is to focus on combat. As for further improvements, he currently doesn't have any concrete ideas.
But just from the difficulty of upgrading from Hundred Battles Sword Technique, one can understand how much harder it will be to further improve the depth of Hundred Battles True Meaning.
Please note that I have only translated the text content and left the HTML tags as they are.
Apart from the Hundred Battles Blade Technique, even though Tie Sha Palm hadn't grasped the true meaning of martial arts, it had reached its peak. Of the remaining martial arts, only the Heavenly Net Stepping on the Square could truly benefit from rigorous cultivation.
>
Anything else.
All of them are basically the same as the fusion materials and are not worth investing too much time in.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To this day, Tian Luo's Stepping on the Firmament has only reached the fifth layer. However, in the midst of countless battles at the front lines, Shen Changqing had gained a different understanding.
Now.
He is just trying to transform this feeling into real strength.
In the courtyard.
One could see a figure in green, constantly shifting and dodging, pulling out layers of phantoms, making one feel dizzy.
The Heavenly Net treads the ground-shaking steps.
>
This is a mysterious footwork that combines the Bagua directions with the mystical Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of the Big Dipper, bringing them together in a harmonious way.
After a long time.
All the phantoms overlapped and then Shen Changqing's original figure emerged.
"Phew!"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
He let out a sigh, and there was a faint smile on his face.
"In a little while, after some more digestion, Tian Luo's Treading the Heavens Step will be able to break through to the sixth level. It is said that once every martial art reaches a profound realm, one can comprehend the true meaning of martial arts."
Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!
That is to say, in reality, a martial artist is very likely capable of more than just comprehending one school of martial arts truth—
Looking at the martial arts on the panel, Shen Changqing's eyebrows twitched.
This is just his guess, with no substantial evidence.
Even if someone truly could comprehend multiple martial arts philosophies, it wouldn't be an easy feat.
You know.
Not all martial arts can be improved by killing points. This Hundred Battles Sword Technique, if not practiced amidst the encirclement of thousands of soldiers, would be very difficult to grasp its true meaning. Other martial arts also face the same difficulty in comprehending the essence of the martial way.
One person's energy.
After all, it is finite.
Especially after realizing the true meaning of martial arts, it doesn't mean you have truly reached the end of that particular martial art. On the contrary, it's just the beginning of your journey into the realm of the true meaning of martial arts.

“About the Grandmaster, you'd have to ask someone or check the library.”
Shen Changqing looked up at the sky. The sun was now high in the heavens, almost noon time.
He returned to his room, swallowed a few satiation pills to fill his hunger, and then went out towards the manager's courtyard.
Regardless of whether or not he breaks through to the Grandmaster level.

Currently, I am still a member of the Huangjie Demon Removal Academy, and I am only a small Huangjie Demon Slayer myself.
I'm back.
Of course, I need to report to Jiang Zuo.
Knock knock.
The gate creaked open, sounding like a memory.
Soon, the courtyard gate was opened and Jiang Zuo appeared there.
Looking at the person in front of me.
The steward of the Huangjie Demon Suppression Institute, whose pupils visibly constricted, immediately stepped aside.
This appears to be an HTML tag snippet. There is no text content within the tags for me to translate. If you provide actual text content inside the tags, I can happily translate it for you! For example:`
Hello, how are you
` Would become:`
Hello, how are you

“You’re here, come in and talk!”
Thank you, Mr. Jiang.
Shen Changqing nodded and strode inside.
Then.
Then Jiang Zuo shut the courtyard gate, and the two of them went towards the pavilion.
In the pavilion, there was a pot of hot tea just brewed, as if the owner hadn't had time to drink it.
“You’ve come at just the right time. I just exchanged some spirit tea from the Demon Suppression Division. Warriors who consume spirit tea can enhance their cultivation. You can try it and see how it works.”
After Jiang Zuo sat down, a smile appeared on his face. He took two cups and poured hot tea into them.
At that moment.
A strong, refreshing fragrance wafted out, making people feel relaxed and refreshed just by smelling it.
Shen Changqing was not polite. He sat directly opposite Jiang Zuo.
Then I'll be rude! spirit, they were all swallowed by that wave.Boom boom boom —Even the vast, chaotic Forbidden Zone seemed to tremble.Outside the restricted area.Those stationed cultivators from myriad races, as if t...
