Chapter Thirty: Defects
ded by a powerful beast will never be simple.Sometimes, the preciousness of heaven and earth treasures is often closely related to the strength of the fierce beasts guarding them.Given Mr. Shen's abil...It's complete and utter because of the sacrifices made by generations past.
If there were no strong individuals who dared to sacrifice themselves to slay demons, how would the Guardian exist, and how would the current state of Qin be possible.
Then.
Then Shen Changqing thought of something else: "Didn't great scholars cultivate righteous energy to deal with demons"
If so.
Back then, during the Qin Dynasty, it shouldn't have been only the Zhenmo Division responsible for countering demons.
Those great scholars should also be tools for dealing with demons.
When the Eastern Emperor heard this, he shook his head and said: “At that time, the Qin Dynasty had just been established for not many years, and there were no great scholars. Great scholars only appeared after the garrison commanders emerged. Moreover, the conditions for becoming a great scholar are even more stringent than achieving the status of a master craftsman.”
Now the number of great scholars in the Qin Dynasty is not large, while the number of town guards is several times that of great scholars. "
Shen Changqing suddenly understood.
The next moment, he again asked, "Then, what are the drawbacks of becoming a garrison commander"
If there are no drawbacks.
To be honest.
Perhaps you could also try it, becoming a guardian yourself.
After all, just because one has transplanted a demon's body doesn't mean they can't improve their own strength. By working on both aspects simultaneously, their overall power will definitely grow faster.
As for that.
After transplanting a demon's body, would he still be considered a complete human To him, it didn't matter much.
"Disadvantages, of course, there are. The biggest disadvantage is that a Town Guard's lifespan will be much shorter than that of an ordinary martial artist. For example, a Master Martial Artist could normally live over a hundred years, but a Town Guard might not even make it to sixty."
"You won't live to be sixty!"
Shen Changqing instantly extinguished the idea of becoming a town guard.
He wanted to gain strength so that he could live longer.
If the price of power is a short life, then I'd rather not.
The Eastern Emperor said: "Although the Guardian is a body that has merged with demons, demons are fundamentally different from humans. Even after merging, they are constantly devouring themselves, so the Guardian's lifespan is far shorter than that of a normal warrior."
If you have a choice, I suggest you don't become a governor too quickly.
No matter if you can break through the limits of a martial artist or not, the stronger you are before becoming a Guardian, the more your strength will increase and the longer you will live after becoming one.
Silence followed for a while.
Shen Changqing asked, "So after becoming the garrison commander, is one's strength completely solidified"
"Yes, but also no."
At first, Dongfang Zhao shook his head before patiently explaining.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“At the beginning, the town guard's strength was indeed fixed. But as the technology of transplanting demon bodies became more and more proficient, the town guard's strength no longer remained at the existing stage. If you think that after transplanting a demon body, your physical body becomes stronger,”
At that time, you could choose to transplant a more powerful demon body. This was the first direction the warden focused on improving.
"So what's the next direction for improvement"
“The second direction for improvement is to fully integrate the power of all demons. At that time, your body will be similar to the essence of demons in some ways. Coupled with your human advantages, you can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish yourself.”
Completely merging the power of all demons
Shen Changqing's expression moved.
"Eastern Garrison... does that mean we are to completely abandon our human bodies and inhabit demonic forms"
Based on what the other person said, he only caught this much.

"At the beginning, there was indeed that intention. However, later, strong cultivators from the Demon Suppression Division discovered that doing so would turn humans into beings no longer human but fully belonging to the demon side, their minds would shift towards demons." Let me know if you need anything else translated!
To solve this problem, the Demon Suppression Division came up with a new method.
Similarly, a portion of the demon's flesh is taken and its essence and soul are forced into that piece of flesh. Then, it is transplanted onto a warrior's body.
"When a martial artist is able to completely devour the power within their flesh and blood, as well as their soul, they can perfectly steal the power of demons and monsters. This allows for continuous improvement."
Speaking of this.
In the East, Zhon said after a pause, "Regardless of which method is used, there are drawbacks. Lifespan is one factor. If it continues for a long time, the garrison commander also has the possibility of being assimilated by demons, but the probability of this assimilation is very low."
>
The power of human and demon bodies merging, we call it Spirit Essence, the blood is called Spirit Blood. It's a power that surpasses ordinary humans, not weaker than demons' Demon Essence and Demon Blood.
Once a guardian spirit is demonized, the spiritual essence and blood within their body will transform into demonic essence and blood. At that point, the guardian spirit is no longer a guardian spirit, but a living demon!
Living demons!
>
By now, Shen Changqing has a complete understanding of what the position of Zhen Shou Shi entails.
After all.
The Zhen Shou Shi is actually a being that exists between humans and demons.
But the difference is that the Zhen Shou Shi was not infected by demonic power, and he could control the power of demons for his own use, thus surpassing ordinary humans.
Judging by what the Eastern Decree said.
Every garrison commander, in truth, does not live for very long.
Looking at Shen Changqing's changing expression, Dongfang Zhao said: "Therefore, I don't recommend you become the General Protector now. Because with your talent, even if you can't break through the limits of a martial artist, you are also qualified to grow to the peak of the Grandmaster realm."
Only after becoming a master at the pinnacle of their power can they perfectly integrate the entirety of the demonic forces.
In the Demon Suppression Division, there's no shortage of ordinary guards, but what's lacking are guards who can grow on their own.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To know, a strong person who has no possibility of growth, is actually not considered a truly powerful person. Only those who open up the space for ascension and have infinite possibilities are qualified to be called "strong".
Of course—
The commander-in-chief is actually not qualified to be called a strong person, because the limit of lifespan restricts them from achieving anything significant.
In the end, Dongfang Zheng let out a slight sigh.
If there were no limits to lifespan, then the Marshal would truly have infinite possibilities.
It's a pity.
>
To date, there has been no solution found for the issue of longevity in the position of the Zhen Shou Shi.
Over the years, the Sealing Demon Pavilion has been researching and seeking ways to grant the Guardian a long life, but progress has been slow.
Shen Changqing asked, “How long can demons live”
"I'm not sure," Dongfang Zhao shook his head. "So far, there has been no record of demons being subdued in the Demon Suppression Division. The demons in the Sealing Demon Tower are like Wang Mubai, imprisoned for over two hundred years, yet they remain immortal. There must be a secret to their longevity on those demons."
You have entered the Qinshi Pavilion. In the future, you should have the opportunity to contact the Fengmo Pavilion.
This is just a placeholder text.
Then, you can go and find out about it.
"Thank you for clearing things up!"
Also, you must keep the Marshal's secret confidential. If it is spread and known by others, you will be hunted down by the Demon Suppression Division, and you will not be able to escape anywhere on earth or in heaven.
Eastern Imperial Decree's words carried a chill that sent shivers down one's spine, despite their calm tone.
Shen Changqing was silent.
The secret of the garrison commander is indeed something that cannot be spread around at will.
For the common people, if they understood exactly what the magistrate was all about, it would undoubtedly cause some unrest, and there might even be those who would take advantage of the situation to create trouble. Although Qin didn't fear such things, it was still a not insignificant hazard.
Another one is.
If someone wants to try to become a Guardian by transplanting a demon's body themselves, they are very likely to be directly demonized.
Then.
This will likely cause quite a stir.
After understanding, Shen Changqing again asked: "Last time in Lin'an City of Guangyuan Mansion, there was a birth of demonic blood. Those sects vying for the demonic blood, is it to obtain the power of the demonic blood"
"Yes."
>
The Eastern Emperor nodded in agreement.
"For many years, with demonic chaos plaguing the land, some martial arts sects have researched ways to enhance their abilities. Among these methods is refining demonic blood, extracting power from it. However, compared to the method of transplanting demonic bodies used by the Sealing Demon Pavilion, this approach is inferior."
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Even so, for those who wander the rivers and lakes, obtaining demonic spirit blood is also a significant matter.
It was specially refined with demon core blood, and it might even help martial artists enter the physical realm. The last batch of demon core blood in Lin'an City ended up in the hands of Tiandao Sect.
He had spoken.
Eastern Emperor looked at Shen Changqing's expression, a smile that was not quite a smile.
"Among the martial arts you auctioned, the Tiandao School is most eager to obtain the indestructible golden body because its master's external skill cultivation method, combined with demon blood, can allow them to quickly enter the first stage of the fleshly body realm."
It's a pity that the undefeated Golden Body fell into the hands of the Seven Stars Sect, leaving Wu Que's plans in vain.
"The adult knows a lot of things."
“The fact that you auctioned off your martial arts skills has caused such a stir, the Demon Suppression Division would find it hard to be unaware. The inheritance you've received is much stronger than I imagined, but it doesn't matter, sell as much as you want, just make sure you're not worried about being unable to complete the Martial Pavilion assessment.”
Anyway, the martial arts you sell won't be safe for long. The Demon Suppression Division will eventually make copies of them.
The Eastern Emperor smiled serenely, his voice light as a feather.
"Um..."
At that moment, Shen Changqing didn't know what to say in response.
This is the first time.
He saw someone describing this act of forceful and ruthless aggression so nonchalantly.
"Well, you've seen the Demon Sealing Tower now, and you know the Guardian's secret. Whether or not you become the next Guardian depends on your choice."
"I understand."
Shen Changqing nodded, he did not ask any more questions.
Today I came to the Demon Sealing Tower, and the information I've learned is enough for me to digest slowly.
Immediately.
The two of them just left the Demon Sealing Tower.
As the entrance gate swung open, when Shen Changqing walked out from inside, the scorching sunlight bathed him, causing the inexplicable oppression he had felt since entering the Demon Sealing Tower to vanish completely.ion, with the reputation of being a genius, his treatment within the Zhongshan clan would definitely be excellent.However.However, Shen Changqing had never thought of that.It's very simple.Just becaus...
