Chapters Twenty-Three to Twenty-Four: Fragments of the Sixth
e against demons.Shen Changqing felt that the main enemy he would face now should be demons.The main responsibility of the Demon Suppression Division is also to deal with demons and evils.Let me know...The gods rumble outside.
Zhong Shan Sheng, whose physical body was breaking apart and slowly recovering, and Zhong Shan Ping, whose physical body had completely disappeared, leaving only his soul behind, both wore complex expressions.
Anger!
Terror!
There is nothing to be done!
That direct palm strike that subdued them, thinking back on it now still sends shivers down my spine.
Extremely powerful suppression.
Even if one wanted to utilize the true form of the Zhongshan Clan, there's no way to do so.
If it weren't for a powerful expert from the Zhúzōng intervening, they would have had no chance of survival.
On the other side.
With the gods taking their places, Shen Changqing didn't leave. Instead, he turned his gaze to the elder's bench.
He is waiting.
Waiting for a result...
Although the situation is now clear, it still requires a high-level announcement from the Chuzong.
On the rostrum of elders.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan's figure slowly disappeared, as if he had never appeared at all.
Upon seeing this.
>
Zhong Shanren understood clearly in his heart. He looked at Shen Changqing of Zhushenlou, and then stood up from his seat. Under the gaze of many disciples, he announced the result.
"In this battle, Zhong Shan triumphed!"
He spoke and fell silent.
Shen Changqing's lips curled into a faint smile, while Zhong Shan Sheng and Zhong Shan Ping both had pale complexions.
However.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But a glimmer of hope arose in their hearts.
Even if you win against us, you may not be able to take down the Qīngfēng Clan!
Zhong Shan said viciously.
You are right.
The other party won against both of them.
But.
The struggle for faith is not merely a fight among direct disciples, but also involves a conflict between different faith races.
The three clans of the Green Hornet have roughly equal strength.
Now, the Qingyang tribe led by Shen Changqing might not be able to deal with the other two tribes.
At this, Shen Changqing’s expression remained calm: “Whether you can take down the Qingfeng Clan, you will soon know.”
That's it.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
He had already taken out the communication jade talisman.
Among the praying mantis family.
The strongest members of the three tribes have already gathered together.
No one spoke, but waited silently, waiting for a result that was about to come.
If Shen Changqing lost, then the three tribes would naturally not fight.
But what if Shen Changqing won
Then the three tribes are very likely to face a bloodbath.
This is the end of a paragraph. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Qingyang, do you truly believe that your own disciple could possibly be a match for the other two disciples"
>
The speaker was the leader of another clan of the Qifeng tribe.
Qingyang's expression was calm and composed as he slowly said, "Whether or not I can win, I can't be certain. However, you all mustn't forget what caused the decline of my Qingfeng clan."
Because our Qingfeng clan lacks a divine being to preside over us, we have been relegated to the status of vassals to other clans.
Only now, with my Green Hornet clan officially ruling supreme, do we have a chance to rise again.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's all I have to say.
The burly middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, but said nothing more.
Another strong warrior from a different tribe remained silent, simply looking at the two with an indifferent expression.
Time keeps passing.
Very soon.
The transmission jade talismans in the hands of the three people were all trembling.
Reading information.
The expressions of the three people changed again dramatically.
Qingyang's was ecstasy, while the other two were as gloomy as water.
“Aha, it seems fate favors me, Qingyang. Now that your esteemed master has been defeated by the other two disciples, my QIngfeng clan's hope for dominance is within reach. Why resist any longer”
To be honest, you and I are both members of the Qifeng Clan. Now that our clan's power is waning, fighting each other only increases casualties and depletes our collective strength. It offers no benefit whatsoever.
Why not have both your tribes submit to my Qingyang tribe At that time, I can promise you all will be deputy chieftains among the Qifeng clan. How about it
Here's your text translated into English:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qingyang retrieved the transmission jade talisman and then looked at the two people in front of him, saying persuasively.
Upon hearing this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The burly middle-aged man's face was grim: "It's no problem for the Qingfeng clan to unify, but why are you the clan leader Shouldn't I, Qinggang, be the clan leader"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
At this point, he looked towards another tribe.
Or, are you Qingying willing to submit to the Qingyang tribe
“My Qingying clan has always fought to the death, but Qingyang's words are also true. We are all beings of the Green Bee Clan. Fighting each other only depletes our strength without any other benefits.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But if you Qingyang want to recover my Qingying tribe, you'll have to show your strength.
>
Speaking was the chief of the Qingying tribe, and the only woman among the three tribal leaders.
Dressed in a light blue court gown, she was graceful and beautiful. Though lacking the usual composure and gentleness of a woman, she possessed a rare air of spirit that further enhanced her elegance.
Ching Gang's brows furrowed: "What do you mean by that"
He dared to stand up to Qingyang purely because the Qingying tribe was on his side.
If the opponent leans toward Qingyang, then with their own clan's strength, there is no guarantee of being able to resist.
Qing Ying's face was calm: "My meaning is very clear, one clan against another. Since their disciples are to decide victory and defeat through a decisive battle, then the Qing Feng Clan will do the same."
That's it.
She looked at Qingyang.
"If you can win against both me and Qinggang, then I will have the two tribes under my command submit to your Qingyang tribe. How about it"
Hearing this sentence.
Qingyang didn't answer immediately, and Qinggang also fell into deep thought.
For a long while.
Qing Gang nodded first: "I have no problem with the proposal of the Qingying tribe."
Then, he looked at Qingyang with a mocking expression.
But I wonder, Qingyang, whether you possess such ability
>
"Good!"
Qingyang's gaze swept over the two of them, his solemn face showed a hint of change, then he nodded slightly.
This is the best course of action right now.
Although Qingying and Qinggang are both very strong, it would be very difficult for him to suppress them in one fell swoop.
But—
If the tribe used all its strength to fight, even if they won in the end, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.
Then.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qingyang waved his hand: "You wait and retreat a hundred li!"
"Yes!"
The strong men of the Qingyang tribe nodded and then left in an orderly manner for a hundred miles.
Qingying and Qinggang also waved their hands, causing the creatures of their respective clans to retreat.
Very soon.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, only Qingyang, Qinggang, and Qingying exist.
The three of them looked at each other, without speaking or making any move.
A moment of pause.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Two breaths.
Three breaths later.
A terrifying power erupted from the three of them, a horrifying aura that soared into the heavens, causing the wind and clouds to change color, and the void within a hundred miles to crack open.
In an instant.
The three figures vanished completely, replaced by three gigantic blue wasps that battled in mid-air.
The Praying Mantis Clan!
Only those who can ascend to the holy rank can successfully overcome the tribulation and thus possess the body of heaven and earth.
In the past, the body of heaven and earth was only used for convenience in cultivation.
Speaking of strength.
Of course, the main body is even more powerful.
Under the gaze of three powerful tribal leaders, three gigantic azure bees battled in mid-air. Every strike they unleashed obliterated the void, sending waves of destruction rippling outwards. Anyone who sensed that power felt their heart pound and their mind tighten.
Boom!!!
The clash of battle, like thunder shaking the heavens.

As for the leader of the clan, whether it's Qingyang or any of the other two, their strength has already reached a peak.
To truly determine the winner, it's not an easy feat.
Suddenly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qingyang's eyes hardened, and his sea of consciousness suddenly tore open. A fragment resembling a rusty iron sword appeared from within, its terrifyingly sharp aura causing the expressions of the other two to change drastically.
"Soldiers of the Dao!"
They didn't expect it.
The other party actually possesses a Dao weapon.
Upon hearing this.
>
Qingyang gritted his teeth, enduring the agonizing pain in his soul as he laughed loudly. "It's not a true Dao Soldier, just a fragment of a sixth-rank Dao Soldier. Since obtaining this Dao Soldier fragment, I have never truly used it. Now, I will let you all witness its power!"
As soon as the words were spoken.
In his soul's control, the broken sword was already slicing towards Qing Gang.
A Rank Six Dao Soldier is already at the peak of the Divine Realm.
Especially for troops like this, whose focus is on attack, they possess extraordinary power.
Although the Dao Bing shattered, even a single fragment possesses terrifying power.
Sword energy tears through the void.
Seemingly confronted by a monstrous terror, Qing Gang's gossamer wings trembled violently. Countless gales erupted from the void, attempting to obliterate the sword qi.
>
But it was of no use.
All the gale-force winds were torn apart directly upon contact with the sword energy, none of them could obstruct it.
Finally.
Sword qi slashed down.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qinggang let out a scream and fell from the sky.
Next.
With the manipulation of Qianyáng's divine soul, the blade tip of the broken sword was pointed directly at Qingyíng.
A great terror gripped his heart, causing him to tremble with fear.
“I yield!”
As soon as his words fell.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The shadow that had been draped over by death, vanished instantly. The broken sword returned to Qingyang and was withdrawn back into the sea of consciousness.
Very soon.
All fluctuations have vanished.
The annihilation and collapse of the void was also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then.
Qingyang recovered his original celestial form and slowly descended from the void.
He looked at the Qinggang, who had been heavily injured by the broken sword, his face slightly cold.
"Qinggang, will you admit defeat"
"I... I surrender!"
Though his steel body still held a multitude of resentments, the blue-steel eventually lowered its head in submission.
This is an example of using HTML tags within text.
Admission!
If you don't admit defeat, you have to die.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
As for Qingyang's own strength, it might not be much stronger than his. However, the other party possesses a piece of Daoist weapon fragments, and their strength is undoubtedly at a higher level.
Thus, it is.
He had no chance to resist.
If we continue to fight, we will surely fall at the hands of our opponent.
If that's the case, surrender decisively instead.
Upon hearing this.
Qing Yang's face was filled with satisfaction. Although he hadn't truly refined the piece of Daoist soldier, using it forcefully would result in considerable backlash, unifying the Qing Feng clan in one fell swoop was still a worthwhile endeavor.
At once.
His gaze shifted from Qinggang, then landed on Qingying, before sweeping over the other members of the Qingfeng clan one by one.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Finally, Qingyang’s majestic voice boomed, seeming to encompass the entire heaven and earth.
This text is in HTML and the "content" part is empty.Therefore, there's nothing to translate. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Today, the Qingying and Qinggang clans formally merge into my Qingyang clan. From now on, the Qingfeng clan will rule supreme, with me, Qingyang, as the chieftain, while Qingying and Qinggang serve as deputy chieftains!”
The voice was loud and clear.
At this moment, it seemed as if every creature of the Qīngfēng clan had heard that voice.
It seems like it worked!
Back in the midst of Qifeng, Shen Changqing patiently awaited any communication from the Qingfeng clan.
Up to now.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He finally received the message he wanted.
Concerning the results and details of that battle, Qingyang truthfully reported everything via jade talisman.
Therefore.
Even if Shen Changqing had not gone to the Qingfeng Clan, he would have been completely in control of the situation.
"A fragment of a sixth-rank Daoist soldier, this Cyan Yang opportunity isn't small. If it were refined someday, it might even be comparable to a fourth-rank Daoist soldier!"
Sixth Rank Dao Soldier!
is equivalent to a living god-level peak expert.
>
A Fourth Rank Dao Soldier is equivalent to a powerful being at the initial stage of the Divine Realm.
Of course.
Not all fourth-rank Dao soldiers possess such strength.
Only attack-type Dao soldiers can possess such unparalleled combat power, such as the Broken Sword in Qingyang's hand and the Saint-Slaying Blade in his grasp.
If they are auxiliary troops, they wouldn't have much strength.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's just like Zhōng Shān Qiú's Empty-Chasing Shuttle from before.
Although that Dao soldier is of the fifth rank, as for its actual combat strength, it's still uncertain whether it can match the capabilities of a fourth-rank Dao soldier.
This is a sample text. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
That can be said.
>
If pursuing an empty chariot was an attack on the Dao soldiers, Shen Changqing wouldn't be confident in being able to kill Zhong Shanchou.
Moreover, there is a high probability that he will be the one who gets killed.
That's all.
The strength of the Dao Bing can be seen at a glance.
“The Zhanshengdao is still at the level of a first-grade Dao weapon. It needs to find a way to improve it. Normally, for attacking Dao weapons, the way to improve them is simple, just kill strong enemies.”
But ordinary beings want to make the Dao soldiers transform, obviously it's impossible.
Unless——
"If I can slay another divine being, then the Zhansheng Dao might be able to advance to a second-rank Dao Artifact!"
>
Shen Changqing's face was calm.
Having obtained Zhong Shanqiu's memories, he indirectly understood some ways to enhance Dao Bing.
> Besides nourishing oneself with one's own blood, one can also be nourished by the blood of enemies.
But.
The latter's improvement is much more troublesome than the former.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The former is the master of Dao soldiers, and the two are blood-related. Nurturing them together yields twice the results with half the effort. There's no difficulty in raising their level.
But the latter's words.
It takes blood exponentially.
>
Although...
Although I have slain many demons and evils before, including Zhong Shanchou, a cultivator at the third level of the God Realm, I have still not been able to promote the Zhansheng Blade to a second-rank divine soldier.
Shen Changqing had a premonition.
Now, the Zan Sheng Dao is only a hair's breadth away from becoming a second-rank Dao Bing.
>
As long as one more deity is slain, promotion should be a certainty.
Instantly.
Then he thought of something else.
“The promotion of just a minor second-rank Dao soldier is already so troublesome, I wonder how the promotions of other high-rank Dao soldiers are done Every one of them must be stained with the blood of countless strong warriors, right!”
However.
>
There are also Dao Soldiers whose materials are extraordinary, and they are of a higher order from the moment they are born.
Just like the Void Chariot in one's storage ring, as soon as it was born, it was at the level of a fifth-rank Dao weapon.
For a long time.
Shen Changqing suppressed the雜念 in his heart.
A powerful Dao Bing is indeed capable of strengthening one's own power, but the problem lies in the fact that wanting to truly possess such a Dao Bing is not an easy feat.
In his memory.
Even Zhúzōng and the formidable Zhōngshān clan behind it, seem to lack a significant number of powerful Dao soldiers.
Of course.
Zhong Shan Qiu is just a direct descendant, he's not even considered high-ranking in the Zhong Shan clan.
It's normal for the other party to be unclear about some messages.
"The Exterminating Saint Blade is perfectly suited to me, and its future advancement is inevitable. However, that time is not now. Although this divine weapon appears normal on the surface, there's a chance it could leave traces detectable by powerful individuals."
"Please be careful, or better yet, try to be extra careful."
Shen Changqing pondered to himself.
Since obtaining Zhōng Shān Chù's memories, and being targeted by a mysterious powerful individual beforehand, he already understood that among the myriad races of the cosmos, there were many mysterious and unpredictable methods.
Any hint or clue could be caught.
The safest course of action.
Only by using everything from Zhongshan's enemy can we ensure foolproof success.
At least.
Before one's abilities are sufficient, a stand-in is not to be discarded.
But—
"Before this, the matter of the Human Race's Heaven and Earth ancestral veins also needs to be resolved."
Shen Changqing left the main hall and went straight to the Qingfeng clan through the teleportation array.
Don't underestimate the Qingfeng clan, just because they are a small tribe.
But.
>
The place where the other party is, is also a complete world for one side.
This is a paragraph.
In fact.
All creatures across the myriad heavens, any race's foundation lies within a complete and self-contained world.
And.
Every clan is the only overlord in heaven and earth.
In other words.
Even the weakest races, as long as they are active among the myriad races of heaven and earth, have the identity of a hegemon behind them. They once suppressed one side of heaven and earth and possessed unparalleled power.
That's all.
There are masters among the strong, and one mountain is always higher than another.
The race that once belonged to the Heaven-Earth Overlord stepped out of its own world and into the vast multiverse, only to discover that it was merely an insignificant ant. As a result, they naturally fell from grace.
Some races were wiped out, while others clung to survival, choosing to attach themselves to powerful ones.
Here is the translation:
But no matter what.
Every remaining race possesses a complete understanding of heaven and earth.
The human world is the world, and the world of myriad celestial races is also the world.
This is inside.
There must be some common ground.
That's it.
>
Shen Changqing wanted to see if he could find a way to restore the human race's ancestral veins through the Qingfeng clan.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Qingyang and the other two had been waiting there for a long time.
Upon seeing Shen Changqing's arrival.
Qingyang first bowed deeply: "Greetings, Your Excellency!"
Have I met you before
Aogang and Qingying exchanged glances, then bowed respectfully.
"You're welcome."
"Greetings, honored sir."
Qing Yang then straightened up and pointed to the two people beside him, introducing them: "Your Excellency, these are the former leaders of the two major clans of my Qingfeng tribe. Now they are the deputy clan chiefs of my tribe. This one is named Qinggang, and this one is named Qingying."

As for their cultivation, they were all at the peak of the Saint realm.
"Not bad."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing's gaze fell on the two of them, his eyes lingering slightly on Qingying for a moment before quickly moving away.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even without using the Heavenly Gate Secret, the foundation and depth of their cultivation were completely exposed to his eyes.
It can be seen.
Whether it's Qing Gang or Qing Ying, the foundation is quite profound. It can be said to be at the peak of the Saint Stage, but it's even stronger than an ordinary peak of the Saint Stage.
But think about it, that's not strange.
>
Although the Qīngfēng clan is small, it is a dominant force in this world.
As the strongest generation of the Green Hornet Clan, it is normal for them to possess such a profound foundation.
Each side's peak powerhouse.
Even the weakest party in heaven and earth, they are all eligible to ascend to the realm of gods.
Then.
Here is the translated text:
Shen Changqing looked at Qingyang again: "Now that Zhongshan Sheng and Zhongshan Ping have been defeated, the Qifeng clan is also unified. From now on, all their statues should be overthrown immediately, and not a single one should be left."
According to our previous agreement, you are entitled to a share of the Qingfeng Clan's faith. As for how this share is distributed, it is up to you to decide.
And then he spoke.
Qing Yang immediately felt two pairs of scorching gazes fixed on him.
Faith!
That is what all the pinnacle saints aspire to.
> Because the key to Saint Rank breaking through to the Divine Realm is faith.
There is no belief.
Thus, the divine fire cannot be kindled.
>
If one cannot ignite the divine fire, they will remain forever at the Saint level. Even with an accumulation of profound potential, there will be no possibility of breaking through.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The practice of Shinto is completely different from the practice of martial arts.
Martial arts cultivation.
As long as one has a solid foundation, even without corresponding techniques, there is still a chance to independently explore a path to enlightenment.
But Shinto doesn't work that way.
Faith.
This is the biggest key to this entire system.
There is no faith.
> It means that the road ahead has been completely blocked by a door, and the key to faith is lost, with no possibility of opening it at all.
Now—
Shen Changqing said he was willing to give up a part of the Qingfeng clan's faith, which gave them a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Qingyang remained impassive, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, venerable one!"
Then.
Shen Changqing strolled over and sat down at the main seat.
"Aside from matters of faith, how are you considering the things I told you earlier"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
On hearing this.
Qingyang's face suddenly turned solemn.
He knew exactly what the other person was talking about.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As for Qinggang and Qingying on the side, their expressions were full of confusion, wondering what other kind of deal the two might have made.
However.
Although they were doubtful in their hearts, they did not say anything.
Although he is only the deputy clan leader, his status and position are already one level lower than Qingyang's.
At this point in the conversation, I had no right to speak.
After pondering for a while.
Qingyang said seriously, "Your Excellency should be clear that any clan that pledges allegiance to a powerful being must bear great risks. If Your Excellency could ascend to the position of God King in the future, it would be an unparalleled honor for my Qingfeng clan."
But if it were you... then for my Qingfeng clan, it would be like the sky collapsing upon us.
Loyalty is of paramount importance.
Therefore, he didn't beat around the bush but was straightforward.
Thus far.
Only then did the two of them understand what they were talking about.
This is a placeholder for text.
Allegiance!
Both of them also couldn't help but change their complexion.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Allegiance is not merely a matter of words, but it involves the very essence and destiny of our entire race.
At this time.
Qing Yang continued, "If Your Excellency is only relying on a future promise to make the Qingfeng clan pledge allegiance, I must frankly say that this is unlikely to work."
Above the main seat, Shen Changqing's face was calm and undisturbed.
This is an example of HTML tag translation. I have removed the
tags from your input, and translated the text between them into English. Please provide me with more text to translate!
Qingyang's answer was just as he expected.
To make a race loyal, it is not simply a matter of relying on drawing a big pie.
Only after the other party had finished speaking did Shen Changqing slowly open his mouth.
"If the Qifeng clan pledges allegiance to me, then the Qifeng clan can exclusively enjoy 20% of the faith. Additionally, every hundred years, ten members of the Qifeng clan will have the opportunity to enter the Candle Sect for cultivation."e Blood Crocodile Clan’s foundation is beyond your imagination. Today, I will let you understand the vast difference between you and me!”Blood Crocodile Emperor's face was cold, with a terrifying aura...
