Time flies.
One month later.

Shen Changqing finished his lecture.
Only Zhuang Daozi and the other nine were immersed in their understanding of the Tao, temporarily unaware of their surroundings.

Upon seeing this.

Shen Changqing did not disturb them.
>In the past month, he has been reviewing his insights on talismanry over the years. He seems to have touched upon the threshold of a top-tier talisman master at the third rank.
Such a profound level of understanding, falling on the ears of figures like Zhuangzi, was naturally like heavenly elixir.
However.
The profound and mysterious nature of the Dao.
>
Just how much enlightenment each of the nine individuals absorbs depends on their individual talents and opportunities.
Several days later.
>
Zhuang Daozi was the first to come to his senses.
He saw Shen Changqing disappear before his eyes, and then he bowed respectfully to the empty space. Then he quickly turned and left. After listening to the Great Dao for a month and pondering it for a long time, Zhuang Daozi had gained a clear understanding of the path ahead. What he needed to do now was to grasp this insight and draw a second-rank mid-grade master talisman, in order to break through the current limitations of his realm.
Then.
The other cultivators also gradually woke up.
Two days later.
A hearty laugh came from the Hongshan Chamber of Commerce.
>
"Haha, this humble monk has finally broken through!"
Zhuang Daozi beamed with joy. Before him lay a Second-Rank Middle Grade Master's talisman, though it was only of ordinary quality, it was still a genuine Second-Rank Middle Grade Master's talisman.
Fu Yi Cheng.
This means he has entered the ranks of a Second-Rank Middling Grandmaster.
For a master of the Fu Dao sect, even a small breakthrough in cultivation is a metamorphosis akin to qualitative change.
"Not bad, it's not as trash as I thought!"

When Zhuang Daizi broke through, Shen Changqing was the first to notice. The appearance of a second-rank middle-grade talisman master was also a not small change for the Hongshan Chamber of Commerce.
After all, over the years, the sale of Hongshan Commercial Association's talismans has always been in the hands of the Nine.
Their Fu Dao masters' ranks represent the quality and grade of their talismans.
Without the sale of top-grade charms, the Hongshan Trading Company naturally fell short. However, with the support of Hongshan City, there were no major issues.
Right now, Zhuang Daozi's breakthrough is just the beginning. Of the remaining Fu Dao masters, some should also be able to break through.
Next.
>
Their breakthrough.
This will allow the Hongshan Chamber of Commerce to produce higher-grade talismans, thereby driving up corresponding sales.
The Red Mountain Chamber of Commerce has done a good job, and the most direct benefit that Shen Changqing has received is very obvious.
Not long ago.
The remaining scene was that he had received all the profits of Hongshan City over the years.
All these Nether Spirit Stones added together are roughly equivalent to 150,000 top-grade Nether Spirit Stones.
On average.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
About three hundred thousand top-grade Nether Spirit Stones have been credited to the account over a period equivalent to a century.
At the time when Honglingfang Market was in its prime, over a hundred years of operation yielded roughly 60,000 high-grade Nether Spirit Stones. It appears that this income was significantly less than what Red Mountain City currently generates.
One thing that needs to be clarified is.
In the past, Honglingfang Market only had a few hundred cultivators. At most, the Enforcement Team consisted of over a hundred cultivators. Now, the number of cultivators under the control of Hongshan City is ten times that of Honglingfang Market in its heyday.
After deducting the daily expenses and maintenance of these cultivators, there is still a stable income of 30,000 top-grade Yin Spirit Stones each year. Such income is quite remarkable.
After all, Hongshan City is now large. If there wasn't corresponding power to deter all parties, it would be impossible for it to remain peaceful until now.
Scale up.
That's bound to happen.
But as long as there are profits, Hongshan City can continuously provide Shen Changqing with Nether Spirit Stones.
Of course.
Such returns are not constant.
If any other issues arise in the future with Red Mountain City, it will still require Nether Spirit Stones to fill the gaps.
But no matter what, being able to obtain 150,000 top-grade Nether Spirit Stones in five hundred years, Shen Changqing was quite satisfied.
Meanwhile.
The astonishing profits of Hongshan City were bound to attract the envy of other cultivators.
“From the rumors spreading, many forces are secretly eyeing Red Mountain City, likely hoping to join in and grab a share of the spoils. If you don't make a move, that's fine. But if you truly want to try and steal from under their noses, then you are sorely mistaken!”
Shen Changqing murmured to himself, his calm eyes gleaming with cold light.
He keeps a low profile.
...doesn't mean it can be manipulated by anyone.
If anyone dares to reach out to Hongshan City, Shen Changqing will make them pay the price.
Then.
Shen Changqing entered seclusion once again.
However, this time, his period of seclusion was not long. The reason he went into seclusion was simply to refine all the Nether Spirit Stones he had obtained over the years.
The empty space in the sealed room.
A huge amount of Yin Spirit Stones were drained of their power, a black torrent engulfing Shen Changqing. Such terrifying spiritual energy would have shattered the souls of ordinary cultivators, obliterating them instantly.
But.
However, Shen Changqing could perfectly absorb all this power.
Only to see a shadowy figure of towering trees built on the avenue behind him, with dense foliage like a canopy falling down. The Taoist rhyme permeated from it, filling the entire secret room void.
...And within the cave, one could see numerous black torrents pouring into the Dao Jian Mu. The immense power caused the Dao Jian Mu to tremble violently, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The sky has become higher!
>
The earth has become even vaster!
All of this is not an illusion, but a real thing that happened.
In Shen Changqing's divine consciousness perception, the Dao-building tree absorbed the power of Yin-Yang Spirit Stones. The originally slow growth suddenly accelerated a lot, causing the cave heaven to expand outward continuously.
As the Dantian expanded, Shen Changqing could distinctly feel a subtle pressure coming from his flesh and blood.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This pressure.
This power comes from the Dantian. Why does the Dantian have limits Generally speaking, the so-called limit is the limit of the physical body. When a cultivator's physical body reaches its limit, if they still want to continue expanding their Dantian, then what awaits them is the collapse of their physical body and death.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This is the limit of the physical body.
At the same time.
If a cultivator's physical body and spirit are strong enough to withstand the power of the cave heaven, then even when the cave heaven expands to a certain extent, there will still be limits.
This is the limit.
It is the ultimate limit of the celestial realm.
Forcibly breaking through the limits without mentioning the difficulty, if it is truly achieved, then what awaits the cultivators will be the collapse of the cave heavens.
Not all limits can be surpassed, and not all limits that are surpassed are good.
All things must come to an end.
It is easily bent and broken.

That's the way it is.
Now Shen Changqing's cave dwelling has grown to a terrifying extent. If it were an ordinary Dao fruit, it would have long since been unable to withstand this power and its physical body would have collapsed and died.
But such pressure didn't have much of an impact on Shen Changqing.
When breaking through the tenth level of Dao Fruit, Shen Changqing's physical body realm had reached the level of a god monarch at the tenth level. After closing for hundreds of years, he made further progress in his physical aspects.
Now.
Although Shen Changqing's physical body did not break through the limit of a God Monarch and reach the realm of a God Emperor, he was half a step into the realm of a God Emperor.
This realm.
Shen Changqing regarded him as a demigod.
... is much more powerful than an ordinary god, even more powerful than the peak physical body of a god. Therefore, he regards it as a half-step god emperor.
That is to say.
Even without using any treasures or fairy power, Shen Changqing, relying solely on his half-step Divine Emperor physique, could crush all cultivators below the Divine Emperor realm.
The same.
Even the cultivators below the Divine Emperor realm were unable to break through Shen Changqing's defenses.
The flesh of a demigod is innately invincible, standing unshakeable. Without sufficient power, not only would it be impossible to kill him, even breaking through his defenses would be an unrealistic aspiration.
>
The premise is.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
The opponent didn't have any immortal artifacts above the level of half-step immortality. Otherwise, Shen Changqing's current physical body wouldn't be able to hold on either.
A half-step God Emperor's fleshly body is ultimately only a half-step God Emperor. Without truly breaking through to the God Emperor realm, it naturally cannot be compared to a half-step immortal treasure.
Tempering the flesh is not easy. Especially now that Shen Changqing's realm is stuck at the peak of Dao Fruit, wanting his physical body to break through the limit of the Divine Monarch first, and then advance to the Divine Emperor realm, the difficulty is much greater than breaking through to a great power himself, and then advancing his physical body to the Divine Emperor. However.
Shen Changqing was not in a hurry.
After all, a demigod's physique is already enough to carry the current cave heaven.
It should be more than enough.
Only to see the Grand Dao Tree constantly growing, 150,000 top-grade Nether Spirit Stones, all transformed into nourishment, were refined and absorbed by the Grand Dao Tree.
For a long time.

When the last piece of Yin Spirit Stone's power was depleted and shattered, the growth of the Dao Jianmu finally came to a halt.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
“51 trillion miles!”
Compared to before the closed-door training, it had expanded by almost a hundred billion trillion square kilometers!
Shen Changqing's divine sense perception quickly made him understand the situation of the entire cave heaven.
This expansion seems small, but there's something important to clarify.
The content within the tags > is empty. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The most ordinary Dao fruit reaches its limit at a radius of 10 billion li, which is the extent that prodigies can possess a wider and more profound cave heaven.
Shen Changqing's one closed-door training session was equivalent to an ordinary cultivator reaching the end of their path. From this perspective, the expansion in his cultivation base was incredibly remarkable.
At the same time.
He also felt that his strength, with the expansion of the cave heavens, was stronger than ever before.
There are not many changes.
But becoming powerful is indeed real.

"We haven't reached the limit yet, the Cave of Heaven can still expand, but it will take more Yin-Yang Spirit Stones!"
Shen Changqing pondered silently.
150 million top-grade Nether Spirit Stones were only enough to expand the cave heaven by roughly 10 billion miles. As the cave heaven grew larger, the consumption required for subsequent expansion also increased continuously.
To truly reach the limit of Dao fruit, the amount of Nether Spirit Stones required is astronomical.
But Shen Changqing didn't give up.
Just the Underworld Spirit Stones. If Red Mountain City gathers them too quickly, then go after other forces. A single ancient desolate holy land can have hundreds of thousands of top-grade Underworld Spirit Stones, plus numerous resources passed down through generations. Even if other forces are a bit lacking, they're definitely not far behind.
Of course, doing this would certainly cause quite a stir. But when it came to his own breakthroughs, Shen Changqing wouldn't care about that anymore.ck Xuan Divine King!"The Immortal Emperor's face was serene as he looked at the ancient God King who appeared before him, without any intention of concealing himself.Several days ago, several divine k...
