Chapters Nine to Ten: Ancient Continent, Exploration
ibao have finished their training and cultivation.At the same time, a slight hunger began to creep in, causing Shen Changqing's face to tighten slightly.>"Hunger""The Thirteen Taibao's horizontal trai..."I am Zhong Shan, of the Zhong clan, and wish you not to mistake me!"
"So it's a strong one from the Zhongshan Clan, who dared to provoke me."

"I am from the Zhōngshān clan—"
"Excuse me!"

Looking at the departing strongman, Shen Changqing discovered for the first time that the name "Zhongshan Clan" was truly useful.
To openly use a fifth-rank Dao soldier to travel, is indeed a bit too ostentatious.
But.
Compared to using a first-rank divine ability for travel, a fifth-rank Dao soldier is undoubtedly much better.
Regarding why Zhōng Shān Chóu attacked him before, he now has some speculations.
It is very likely.
It is precisely because he saw the value in his mastery of the divine power known as "Within Reach, Yet Far Away".
That is why.
...will only make a move at the end to sneak attack and try to get the divine power for himself.
One divine skill, even within the Zhong Shan clan, is something particularly precious.
Shen Changqing now understood something: divine abilities should not be used indiscriminately, especially higher-order ones. If one's strength is insufficient, it's like a three-year-old child carrying gold and showing off.
Divine Realm Experts.
It's incredibly easy to extract soul and memory.
Therefore.

Instead of using a first-rank divine ability to travel, it's more practical to use a fifth-rank dao soldier.
Though five-rank Dao soldiers are also precious, they are not as maddening as one-rank divine abilities.
Besides.
The Void Chariot is only one, even if you snatch it away, it's only a fifth-grade magic weapon. But the supernatural powers are transferable.
This is the end of a paragraph.
A divine ability of the first rank could potentially propel a small race to immense power.
Who is stronger, who is weaker.
It is now clear.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Of course, even a fifth-rank Dao soldier would be coveted by many strong individuals.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
However.
After the name of the Zhongshan clan was announced, those strong individuals all chose to retreat.
To wage war against the Zhongshan clan for a mere fifth-rank Dao soldier is clearly unnecessary.
No matter what you say.
The Zhongshan clan, also possessing five divine kings, is an extraordinary race.
"The Zhongshan clan is so powerful, if my killing of Zhongshan Chou were to be exposed, the consequences would be dire!"
Shen Changqing's feet pressed upon the chasing-void shuttle, watching the fleeting void around him. He pondered silently in his heart.
But now he's using Zhong Shanchou's source, the Zhong Shan clan probably hasn't noticed.
One must venture into the tiger's den to capture its cubs.
>
Among all the myriad races across the heavens, there is simply no place for the human race to stand.
All he can do now is enter the Zhōngshān clan first, and then seek a way out for humankind.
Withdraw into the embrace of heaven and earth.
It seems very stable.
But in reality, it is fraught with danger.
Even if the immediate threat of demons were eliminated, it doesn't mean that humanity would be free from all danger.
>
Lack of strength.
In all the heavens and myriad races, it is the greatest crisis.
Especially the position of the human race among all races in the heavens and myriad realms is precarious. Should their celestial domain ever be exposed, with the current strength of the human race, there would be no chance of resistance whatsoever.
Although the human race exists within the Forbidden Zone of Death, it is possible for other races like demons and monsters to find them. Other races may also have the ability to locate the human realm.
"Right now, the priority is to eliminate the demonic clan. We must ensure that no news of the human race leaks out. Only after that can we begin repairing the ancestral bloodline and restore the spiritual energy of the human world to its former glory."
“Ancestral lineage is the foundation of heaven and earth. If it cannot be repaired, humanity will never have the possibility of giving birth to truly powerful beings.”
Only self-improvement can be the fundamental solution to everything.
Shen Changqing's thoughts churned in his mind. He had already made a rough plan for the future.
First, go into the Zhōngshān clan and see if you can borrow their strength to improve your own. Only then will you have a chance of defeating the demon race.
This is a continuation of the previous text.
At the same time.
The Zhongshan clan has existed for countless years. If one were to repair the ancestral genealogy, there might be corresponding records.
To be more specific.
At present, Zhong Shanchou's identity is one he cannot discard.
Instead of groping around as a human in the myriad races of heaven and earth, it's better to be straightforward and act as a genius from the Zhongshan clan.
This is a placeholder text. It should be replaced with actual content.
Make a decision.
Shen Changqing's eyes hardened a little.
Power surges in, the Void Chaser is even faster.
He used the magical power of a fifth-grade celestial soldier to travel, but he was going to the Ancient Continent. If he didn't use the Void Shuttle or divine abilities, it would take him a very long time to get there from near the Forbidden Zone of Death by his own speed.
The heavens are vast.
It's like there's no end to it.
Compared to others, the human race's world in the heavens is like a drop in the ocean.
And this time, the ancient continent he went to was also the center of the vast myriad heavens. It is said that since the beginning of the myriad heavens' genesis, it has already existed there.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
All races of the myriad heavens possess a territory belonging to them on the ancient continent.
The patriarch of the Zhongshan clan, Zhu Zong, was also there.
The void does not measure time.
Shen Changqing couldn't remember how many tens of thousands of miles he had traveled using the Void Shuttle. Anyway, the divine fire in his sea of consciousness had dimmed somewhat, and the power of the third level of the Divine Realm had been consumed by at least 40%.
Based on Zhong Shanqiu's memory, it should be almost time to reach the Ancient Continent!
He pondered to himself.
The opponent traveled from the ancient continent to the Death Zone, and it didn't take much time at all.
I'm heading back now, it shouldn't take too long.
As expected.
Not long after.
Shen Changqing then discovered that the originally gray void suddenly became a little brighter.
Ahead, where there should have been nothing, there was a line that seemed to pierce through the void like a white thread.
Even with his sharp eyesight, he couldn't see the beginning and end of the white line.
As the Chaser approached, the white line became increasingly clear and expanded at a visible rate.
China!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
One side cannot see the beginning or end of the continent.
The sun and the moon shine in the same sky.
The sun and the moon both hung high in the sky, and the so-called white line of light also originated from there.
And below the sun and moon, there is a vast expanse of heaven and earth.
"The Ancient Continent!"
Although he had heard of the Ancient Continent since his memory was young, when Shen Changqing truly saw it with his own eyes, a tremor ran through him.
>
Desolate!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Ancient!
The aura that permeated the void filled him with awe.
Even the most powerful divine realm experts felt a sense of insignificance when facing this immense continent.
"This place truly lives up to its reputation as the center of all celestial races!"
After a long moment, Shen Changqing took a deep breath and finally came to his senses from the shock.
He always thought.
After the Qin Dynasty annexed the territories of Daliang and Dayue, its territory became quite vast within the Human Realm.
Compared to the ancient continent before us, it is as insignificant as a grain of sand.
For ordinary creatures, the Ancient Continent is as vast and boundless as the void.
Even in Zhong Shan Chou's memories, he wasn't sure how large the Ancient Continent truly was. The Zhong Shan clan's territory was just a small corner within the vastness of the Ancient Continent.
>
Shen Changqing looked back at the memories in his mind.
He suddenly realized that in Zhong Shanchou's memory, there wasn't a clear understanding of the ancient continent.
This is the mainland.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
vast and boundless.
Of course.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The true foundation of the Zhongshan clan, in fact, the root of all celestial clans, is not within the Ancient Continent.
Every race has its own heaven and earth, which is the foundation of the race.
As for the ancient continent, since it is the center of all heavens, all races will occupy a portion of this land as a basis for communication with other races.
at the same time.
The ancient continent is abundant in resources and has a rich concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy.
Yes, the spiritual energy is abundant.
Although for those above the Divine Realm, heaven and earth's spiritual energy is no longer significant, the true main source of strength improvement comes from the power of faith.
But—
For those below the divine realm, heaven and earth's spiritual energy is especially important.
Any strong person was once a weak one step by step.
The abundant spiritual energy of the ancient continent is the best tool for strengthening the potential of all races in the heavens.
As long as descendants of any race can cultivate here, reaching a certain level, and then obtaining the corresponding faith power, they will be able to ascend to the realm of gods safely and steadily.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
If one cultivates within their own world, the speed of cultivation is far inferior to that in the Ancient Continent.
in a short period of time.
Perhaps you can't see anything.
However, over thousands and millions of years, the power gap between those who cultivate in their own realms and those who cultivate on the ancient continent will widen to an immeasurable extent.
Whether it be the lowly beings or the powerful ones of the divine realm, all are the same.
With his mind filled with thoughts about the ancient continent, Shen Changqing did not slow down in the slightest. He continued to urge the Chasing Void Shuttle towards the landmass.
Don't look at the mainland already.
>
In fact.
He is still some distance away from the ancient continent.
It's just that the mainland is vast and boundless, so even without being completely close, it feels as if you are already there.
... very soon.
The Chasing Void Shuttle had finally reached the Ancient Continent.
There is no obstacle.
Shen Changqing felt as if he had passed through a thin membrane, followed by an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy.
That aura.
The Biren tribe's power far surpassed that of humans by dozens of times, causing their faces to flush red.
"Such rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"
His eyes were full of astonishment.
>
Such a rich and potent energy of Heaven and Earth, I have only ever felt it in one place: when entering an ancient relic site.
But.
The reason why the spiritual energy of ancient sites is so strong is because there exists a spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy emanating from this vein has been sealed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
If there isn't a few thousand or even tens of thousands of years of accumulation, the spiritual energy concentration wouldn't reach that level.
However.
The spiritual energy of the ancient continent has not been sealed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, only to be released all at once. It has always existed here.
In Zhong Shanchou's memory.
The spiritual energy of the Ancient Continent has existed for countless years, with no enhancement and no decline.
"Treasure!"
"This is a great treasure!"
After being shocked, Shen Changqing's eyes lit up.
All races in the heavens and myriad worlds relied on spiritual energy in their early stages, but later relied on faith power. Therefore, the spiritual energy of the Ancient Continent had little effect on the subsequent strong individuals.
>
But——
He cultivated from beginning to end, relying entirely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
That's right!
This time it's really the right one!
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant here. Cultivating here, one day is equal to several dozen days gone by.
As long as the spiritual energy is potent enough, subsequent secret realms can be continuously opened.
Shen Changqing had a premonition.
If I were given a thousand years here, even without relying on killing points, it would be possible to open up all the hidden areas.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
That way.
...one's own being is considered to have achieved the complete state of entering the Heavenly Cave Realm.
According to Zhong Shanchou's memory, the most talented powerhouses from all races in the past took a hundred years to reach from the Divine Realm to the Divine King Realm. It takes me a thousand years to complete from the Cave Heaven Realm to the Cave Heaven Realm.
In comparison, it doesn't seem like much.
But...
“Unveiling hidden secrets is completely different from borrowing the power of faith. Although I'm just a novice at the second level of the Heavenly Cave Realm now, in terms of true strength, I'm stronger than Zhongshan Chou, who is at the third level of the Divine Realm.”
>
If one truly wants to ascend to the perfection of the Heavenly Cave Realm, there might not be no possibility of challenging a God King.
“After a millennium, there are very few beings from the Divine Realm who can rival a God King.”
Shen Changqing felt the flow of spiritual energy from heaven and earth while also digesting Zhong Shanchou's memories once more.
To be honest.
He was also curious about what kind of existence could break through from the Divine Realm to the Divine King Realm in just a hundred years.
Like Zhong Shanchou, among the Zhongshan clan, he was considered a top-tier genius. The Zhongshan clan's expectations for him were that he had a chance to advance to God King within three thousand years and a high probability of doing so within ten thousand years.
He shook his head silently.
Shen Changqing looked up at the sun and moon in the sky, then, relying on his memory, continued to pilot the Chasing Void Shuttle towards the territory of the Zhongshan Clan.
The Chasing Void Shuttle shuttles through space, every breath capable of traversing millions of miles across mountains and rivers.
Everything.
All of them seemed like passing scenes in a lantern festival, fleeting before Shen Changqing's perception.
Only when you truly step into the Ancient Continent can you fully comprehend just how vast and boundless it truly is.
>
It is true that there are many strong players.
During that time.
Here's the translation:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
He had also sensed the auras of many powerful beings, each aura not weaker than a Divine Realm expert, and some even made him feel a chill down his spine.
Then that exists.
It felt like being just outside the Death Zone, with a divine aura almost as powerful.
It is obvious.
Those auras belonged to powerful figures at the God King realm, most likely.
As for those below the realm of gods, there are countless numbers.
The Ancient Continent!
"One day, our human race will also have its own territory here!"
Shen Changqing's face was calm.
One cannot truly understand the fragility of humanity without venturing into the ancient continent.
Perhaps the human race was once powerful, causing all celestial beings to despise them. But now, humans are undoubtedly extremely weak.
within his range of perception.
There are countless powerful beings at the realm level and even above, as for creatures below the realm level, there are even more.

among the human race.
Equivalent to warriors of the Tianren Realm's fifth level or above in the Realm of Domains, even with the addition of Demonic Gods, it would absolutely not exceed five.
As for the divine realm.
If the Man God recovers his strength, then currently among humankind, there would be a deity to oversee things.
Otherwise.
Then there wouldn't be a single paradise.
"Alas!"
"The gap is really huge!"
Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, sighing softly in his heart.
This gap, even if the ancestral lineage is repaired, it's not so easy to make up for.
Unless.
Here is the translation of your content, remembering to keep the HTML tags as you requested:

It is possible to create an environment as vast and ancient as the primordial continents using human ingenuity, but the difficulty of such a feat would likely surpass even that of repairing one's ancestral lineage.
The simplest and most direct approach.
It allows humanity to be like the myriad races of the heavens, each with a territory in the Ancient Continent.
That's it.
Strong individuals naturally emerge from the human race.
At the end of the day, it all boils down to ability. If you lack the skills, any plans are useless.
Suppressing the雜 thoughts in his heart, Shen Changqing poured all his power into the Sky-Chasing Shuttle.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Less than a day.
As soon as I arrived, I saw that in the endless mountain range ahead, palaces were scattered upon them. At the same time, a terrifying aura emanated from them, suppressing the void so that it seemed to stagnate for a moment.
Here is the translation of your content:

As soon as the Empty Shuttle entered the mountainous region, suddenly someone appeared.
“This is the dwelling place of my Candle Sect, who dares to intrude!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"It's me!"
This is just a placeholder.
Shen Changqing stopped chasing the Kongsuo, and said something lukewarm.
This is the end of a paragraph.
Hearing this.
Only then did the young disciple, who had appeared abruptly, make out the visitor's features, and immediately he hastily bowed in greeting.
"I don't know if I have offended you, senior brother, when facing you. Please forgive me, senior brother!"
Zhong Shan Qiu!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Just a while ago, news of the other party's demise spread. Then came word that they hadn't perished after all. Now, seeing this person return in person, I can finally confirm the truth of the matter.
At the same time.
He wasn't worried that the Zhongshen enemy in front of him might be an imposter of another race.
After all, this is the location of the Candle Sect, with a powerful expert at the level of a Divine King guarding it.
Even if other creatures impersonate, they can't escape the scrutiny of the Divine King's eyes.
This line of text is now in English.
"Get out!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing imitated Zhong Shan's demeanor from his past, waving his hand dismissively with a cold expression.
Upon seeing this.
The disciple bowed and stepped back.
Then, he put away the Sky Chaser Shuttle and was about to head back to his original mountain.
Suddenly.
A voice echoed in my mind.
Come here.
The voice was not loud, but it was full of authority.
Shen Changqing's expression froze for a moment.
This voice was unfamiliar to him, but to Zhongshan Chou, it was very familiar.
Master of the Zhú Sect.
This is the voice of Dong Xuan, one of the Five Divine Kings of the Zhongshan clan.
The God King has summoned.
It's definitely not without reason.
First time.
Shen Changqing thought of some things.
"It seems that when I beheaded Zhong Shan's revenge earlier, it caused quite a stir, so this God King would summon me."
Thoughts surged within his heart, but outwardly he showed no hesitation, striding straight toward the main hall.
As early as when he decided to impersonate Zhong Shanqiu and return to the Candle Sect, Shen Changqing had already made psychological preparations for it.
Every divine realm.
Every time a divine being falls or is critically wounded, their statue within the Zhongshan clan will shatter. This serves as a warning to those who worship them.
When Zhong Shanchou was assassinated, the statues must have changed.
But now.
Using Zhong Shanchou's original source, the statue should have been restored.
After all, the divine fire in the sea of consciousness still gathers continuously with the power of faith. If there is the power of faith, it means that the idol should be unharmed.
Powerful Divine Realm cultivators.
...cannot be too far apart, drawing on faith power out of thin air. It must rely on idols as a medium to continue corresponding with faith.
Unless it is within a certain range, one can achieve the level of drawing on faith without relying on idols.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Thinking about things.
Shen Changqing had already arrived in front of the main hall.
“Zhong Shan demands an audience!”
Looking at the tightly shut palace gates, he spoke in a loud voice.
The next moment.
The palace gate burst open.
Upon seeing this.
Shen Changqing stepped inside.
From the outside, the main hall itself is already incredibly magnificent. But when you truly enter the interior of the main hall, it's as if you're stepping into a brand new world.
A number of pillars, as thick as several zhang, stood around the hall like they were supporting the heavens and the earth.
>
And at the very top, a golden figure sat in meditation, its immense aura radiating supreme majesty, filling hearts with profound reverence.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Below and to the sides.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
There were also figures radiating a powerful aura sitting there. Judging by their auras alone, each one was at least in the later stages of the Divine Realm, and some even reached the peak of the Divine Realm.
This is the time.
Every strongman's gaze was fixed upon him, as if trying to see something.
Shen Changqing braced himself against the pressure and stepped forward, bowind when he reached the center. "Zhong Shanchou greets the Sect Master and elders!"
"No need for formalities!"
From atop the throne, Zhong Shan Dong Xuan’s voice, filled with formidable authority, rang out.
Upon hearing this.
>
Shen Changqing just stood up.
Next.
>
Just as he saw, two beams of golden light shot out from the eastern eye of Zhong Shan Xuan, landing directly on him.
Golden light, divine and vast, as if it could see through everything.
This moment.
Shen Changqing guarded his heart, not daring to think wildly.
The God King's prowess is unpredictable and bizarre. He could even possibly see through people's hearts. Right now, he was thinking too much, and it was possible the other party would notice some clues.
Only by keeping one's mind steady can one ensure complete success.
However.
Shen Changqing was still a little nervous.
Although I am confident in the effectiveness of the panel, it remains to be seen whether it can truly deceive the God King's investigation.
After a long time.
The golden light converged.
As soon as his body went slack, Zhong Shan Dong Xuan’s voice rang out.
“The Divine Fire is unharmed and shows no signs of possession.”
And then she spoke.
The elders of the Candle Sect present all had varied expressions.
The Second Elder snorted heavily, his old eyes showing a hint of displeasure, but he didn't say anything else.
Zhong Shan Qiu hadn't been possessed, which meant the other party's faith was impossible to seize.
On the other side.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shěn Chángqīng's heart also relaxed slightly.
If it hasn't been detected, then the transformation of the source is indeed a possibility that even the Divine King realm couldn't see through.
Now.
Zhongshan Dong Xuanping said calmly, “Your statue recently shattered but is now restored to its original state. What exactly happened”
“Reporting to the sect master, while I was training in the Death Zone, I encountered a death tide and, coincidentally, came across the Bloody God King. His divine kingdom shattered, and one piece of its fragment fell into my hands.”
Later, a powerful person secretly coveted the item and attacked, the disciple was caught off guard and severely injured, but then managed to escape using the Empty Tracking Shuttle.
Fortunately, I had some healing potions on me and managed to recover.
As for the powerful assailants who carried out the surprise attack, their clan remains a mystery. Their leader's identity and those of his disciples are currently unknown.
As they spoke, Shen Changqing took the fragments of the divine country out of his storage ring.
This statement.
When he came back, he already had it all figured out.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
I was going to blame all the problems on the people who always trail behind.
But.
The strongman of the clan with the 跂踵 fell earlier than expected. If the Zhongshan clan truly investigated, they might uncover some clues. Instead of doing so, it's better to fabricate a nonexistent powerful enemy and cover up this matter.reat demon's birth spread like wildfire.Many Town Demon Divisions, after calculating Wang Mubai's trajectory according to the celestial map, began to arrange personnel and organize local people to eva...
