Chapter Thirty-Nine to Forty: Military Achievements
de and outside the capital city. Then, powerful demons attacked the capital, prompting scholars and the Eastern Decree to take action. Now, there's chaos within the Demon Suppression Office and a surp...The main hall square.
When Shen Changqing arrived, all the elders had already gathered.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Besides.
Many disciples of the Zhu Chong sect were also gathered there.
And at the very front of the disciples, there were a multitude who had received direct teachings.
Amongst the many disciples, Shen Changqing didn't know them all. In fact, many disciples were loners and rarely interacted with others.
So.
There were quite a few unfamiliar faces among those who came directly from the teacher.
When he arrived.
Among the disciples who had received direct teachings from their master, one let out a cold snort.
Here is the text translated to English:

Following the sound, I just happened to see Zhong Shansheng and Zhong Ping and others with cold eyes.
That's it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing didn't mind either.
He's just a defeated general, no threat to me.
>
However.
The two disciples are obviously well-resourced. Not long ago, one had his body shattered and the other almost shattered his body. As a result, now it seems that their injuries have completely recovered.
Of course.
Such injuries take time to recover from, and the cost of recovery is naturally not low.
Time flies.
Other disciples also came here one after another.
Main Hall Square.
It covers a fairly wide area.
In Shen Changqing's perception, there were at least tens of thousands of disciples from the Zhu Zong who had arrived, but they still hadn't occupied all areas.
Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can help with that!
As for how many disciples the Candle Sect actually had, he himself wasn't sure.
But one thing is certain.
The disciples of the Candle Sect, absolutely would not be less than a million.
After all, this is the power established by the Zhongshan clan facing the heavens and myriad races, it's extraordinary.
Among many disciples.
Although not completely uniform in rank, the weakest among them still possess a level beyond the ordinary.
As for those below the level of extraordinary, he did not find a single one.
In view of this.
Shen Changqing's heart was not too surprised.
Among all the celestial races, cultivators below the extraordinary level are not to be considered ants, but they are not far off. They are considered the lowest tier of existence.
...is placed among the human race.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Those below the extraordinary, the strongest are equivalent to high-level demon kings, that is, the existence of Wang-rank commanders. They are almost at the top tier of power.
But among all the races in heaven and earth, it is indeed second-rate.
In other words.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Compared to all the countless races in the heavens, the number of strong human warriors who can currently make a name for themselves is negligible.
As for the strong ones in the realm of gods.
In his perception, it was also quite a number.
Among.
There are some powerful individuals whose aura instills fear in others.
You need to know that.
In terms of Shinto, he had already reached the mid-stage of the fourth level of the divine realm. In the Candle Sect, those who could reach the seventh level of the divine realm or above were basically no longer disciples, either becoming elders or deacons.
Amongst many of his disciples, Shen Changqing could discover that there were experts of this level.
Following my breath, I look outward.
He saw several unfamiliar faces.
“Those must be the disciples of the old master!”
Those who break through the divine realm will directly possess ten thousand years of lifespan.
When the divine realm is complete, the maximum lifespan will be 20,000 years.
Such a long lifespan is the reason why there are thousands of direct disciples within the Zhúzong.
Many direct disciples remain in the realm of gods and haven't ascended to become God Kings, but they also don't want to be elders or deacons, so they have held onto their direct disciple status until now.
This is a test.
In fact.
Many disciples with strong personal following and skills may not necessarily be weaker than elders.
In Shen Changqing's perception, the few direct disciples he saw were at least at the seventh level of the Divine Realm in terms of strength.
>
...and this.
This is just a part of it.

There are also some with powerful auras, but they are too far away to gauge with the eyes.
All in all.
Now that they have gathered together, they finally got a glimpse of the Candle Sect's formidable strength.
At that very moment.
A terrifying aura descended from the heavens, causing all disciples to feel a surge of awe. They straightened their bodies and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Master!"
"No need for formalities."
A majestic voice arose, and numerous disciples finally stood up.
>
Shen Changqing stood up and looked ahead, just in time to see Zhong Shangdong's figure.
This god king.
From beginning to end, there was a golden belief power on his body. Ordinary cultivators couldn't see the other party's appearance at all.
With the appearance of Zhong Shan Dong Xuan, soon, another powerful aura arrived.
A burst!
Two stocks!
>
Every breath, caused the void to violently tremor, putting all the disciples of the Candle Sect under immense pressure.
>
"God King!"
Shen Changqing looked at the two golden figures that suddenly appeared, his eyes filled with shock.
Within the Candle Sect, there exist five Divine Kings.
But.
Of the five Divine Kings, he had only ever seen one, and that was the current master of the Zhúzōng sect.
Except for Zhongshan Dongxuan.
The other four Divine Kings, I've only heard about them, but have never truly seen them.
Now.
Two divine kings appeared. Through their hazy figures, Shen Changqing could roughly discern that one was male and the other female.
But the specific appearance could not be seen clearly.
However.
He had a hunch.
That is, if one were to use the secrets of the Heavenly Gate, they might be able to see through the appearance of the God King.
However.
However, Shen Changqing had no intention of doing so.
The Heaven Gate Secret is one's own power. Once used, it will cause Zhongshan Chou's origin to dissipate. Moreover, to see the appearance of a God King, he would expose himself. That's simply foolish behavior.
With the appearance of two divine kings.
In the main hall square, all the disciples were silent and still.
Now.
This is a tricky one! It looks like you're asking me to translate the content within HTML tags, but only if the tag is

Though the number of arriving disciples had already exceeded six figures, the plaza seemed to stretch endlessly before one's eyes. No matter how many disciples came, it always remained vast and empty.
“Today, my Zhuzong clashed with the Dushan clan in battle. I believe you are all aware of this. There is no room for compromise in a war between races; victory belongs to the victor, and death to the vanquished.”
Within the Zhúzong, many disciples are not born of my Zhōngshān clan. However, you who enter my Zhúzong become disciples of my Zhúzong.
The next battle will be judged by military merit. Anyone who achieves a hundred or more merits will have the opportunity to enter the reincarnation pool, regardless of their cultivation level or talent.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
His voice trailed off.
Many disciples were visibly excited.
These disciples, being beings from foreign races, upon entering the Candle Sect, their greatest desire was to enter the reincarnation pool and become true Zhongshan clan beings.
It's just.
To enter the reincarnation pool, it's not just about talent and skill, but also about luck.
Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to enter the rebirth pool.
>
Now.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan's words undoubtedly gave these disciples a hope, a hope to enter the rebirth pool.
Next.
Just as he saw the opponent's hand waving, countless streams of light shot out, flying towards each disciple.
As the light surged toward him, Shen Changqing made no attempt to resist. He allowed it to engulf his body completely.
Very soon.
Suddenly, a wave of information surged in.
Killing an entry-level cultivator of the Saint Realm will earn you one point of military merit.
Killing an intermediate-level Saint cultivator yields two battle merits.
Slay--
Killing a God Realm First Stage cultivator grants 10 war merits.
Slaying a Second Stage Divine Realm expert grants 50 points of military merit.
Killing—
Slaying a God Realm entity to completion grants 50,000 combat points.
When he came to his senses from that message, he found that there was an extra token in his hand at some point.
Medal of Honor!
“All disciples can imprint their soul mark on the War Merit Plaque. The plaque will record your achievements during the war. When the war ends, you can exchange your war merits on the plaque for resources you need at the Internal Affairs Hall.”
This includes the opportunity to enter the reincarnation pool.
The specific redemption method will be displayed in the internal hall at that time, but there is one thing I can remind you of, which is that one battle function can be directly redeemed for one divine crystal.
One battle achievement can be exchanged for one divine crystal!
Shen Changqing's face changed slightly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This exchange rate is much higher than he expected.
Don't underestimate the amount of divine crystals you get from exchanging battle achievements. The quantity depends on how many cultivators participated in the war.
Right now, even just one Candle Sect has over six figures of disciples participating in the war, and the entire Zhongshan Clan will definitely have even more powerful individuals joining the fray.
At that time.
Even if everyone has a little bit of military merit, it's millions upon millions of Shenjing thrown away.
If everyone fought at 10 o'clock, the reward would be billions of Divine Crystals.
As for the facts.
Shen Changqing believes that the last divine crystal consumed by the Zhongshan clan was far more than just tens of millions.
Therefore, it can be seen.
What kind of consumption this battle was for the Zhongshan clan.
War.
That's the most direct way to burn money.
But such an effect is also the most obvious.
From just observing the excited expressions of his fellow disciples, he could understand that their emotions had been completely stirred.
I guess that's normal.
Divine Crystals are rare.
That is something that only powerful cultivators at the Divine Realm can obtain. Those below the Divine Realm, under normal circumstances, have no chance of obtaining divine crystals at all.
Besides this.
Divine crystals are also the condensation of faith power.
In short.
Even without gaining the faith of a race, if one could acquire a vast amount of divine crystals, there would still be a chance to ascend to the realm of gods.
Such a divine realm, without the sustenance of subsequent races' faith, could only rely on constantly borrowing divine crystals to further enhance itself. Moreover, once its power was severely depleted, it would require replenishment with divine crystals.
After all, such a divine realm is akin to a rootless water lily, not as stable as a divine realm attained through normal means.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Normal Divine Realm.
Faith serves as the source of strength.
Whether it's cultivation or replenishing consumption, it can autonomously transform faith power for its own absorption.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although this autonomous transformation process is not fast, maintaining the consumption of combat is not a big problem.
Nevertheless.
Being able to obtain a large quantity of divine crystals, thus igniting the divine fire and ascending to the divine realm, is also something that other disciples aspire to.
As long as one can ignite the divine fire and ascend to the Divine Realm, becoming a true disciple, then the sect will definitely bestow a piece of faith.
The only issue is.
The ignition of divine fire is not simply a matter of faith alone, guaranteeing success. There's also a factor of probability involved.
The soul descended.
Shen Changqing left his mark on the battle merit plaque, proving that this treasure was his own.
>
This time, the reward system given by Zhúzōng is exactly what he needs.
What are you lacking now
Divine Crystal.
This is the root of everything.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
If one were to obtain a large quantity of divine crystals, their own cultivation level could experience a leap forward.
Long boat breaks the air.
Moving through the void.
On the boat were a multitude of disciples from the Zhoushan Sect.
Shen Changqing looked at the void whizzing past before his eyes, his eyes calm and undisturbed.
To wage war against the Dushan clan is not simply a matter of attacking their ancestral hall.
Factions.
It's just a force established by one race for the outside world. The war between sects and the war between clans are completely different things.
It's just like the Nine Mountains Zong.
Although the Divine Realm of Jiushan Sect has perished, there are still many powerful Divine Realm experts within the Jiushan Clan behind it.
>
So.
Now, the Zhōngshān clan's feud with the Dǔshān clan goes far beyond just a battle on the ancient continent.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Besides this.
The Dushan clan, as a powerful clan, also had many vassal races.
These vassal races are also enemies of the Zhongshan clan.
“This clan war involves quite a few races, huh!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing sighed inwardly.
Under his feet now lay a great warship, a powerful Dao weapon of the Zhúzong. Besides him, there were many powerful figures from the Zhúzong aboard the ship.
This is the time.
The long boat has left the ancient continent and is traveling through the boundless void.
Its true purpose was to attack an affiliated tribe of the Dushan clan.
“This is the first time that Clan Inheritance has participated in a clan war!”
A gentle voice came from behind.
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing turned his head and saw that the speaker was a young man. The young man looked youthful, but there was always an air of vicissitudes on him, as if he had experienced many years.
That is it.
He didn't seem unusual either.
Though divine realm experts can't achieve eternal youth, they can delay aging.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Many deities, thousands of years old, remain youthful in appearance.
The person before me appears young, but it's hard to say how old they really are.
Contemplating memories in my mind.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing realized he didn't actually know the other person. He had only caught a glimpse of them during the assembly when the direct disciples lined up at the front.
Please provide the text you'd like me to translate. I can help with that!
"May I ask which master you received this from"
“My name is Zhongshan Kong Zhou. I joined the Zhu Chong Sect about a thousand years before you.”
Youth, or Zhongshan Kong Zhou, said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing smiled faintly: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Kong Zhou, I remember that we seemed to have never met before, Senior Brother Kong Zhou"
Zhong Shan Kong Zhou.
This name is very unfamiliar to him.
There are thousands of direct disciples of the Candle Sect, and it's normal that I haven't heard of some of the names of the older ones.
He was just curious why this person, who he had never met before, suddenly came up to him. It couldn't be a coincidence.
It seemed that he could see through Shen Changqing's thoughts.
>
Zhong Shan Kong Zhou looked at the void ahead, his eyes filled with reminiscence: “It’s normal that I never met Chou Qin Chuan. When I entered Zhu Chong Zong, Chou Qin Chuan hadn't even been born yet.”
Speaking of this.
>
He added another sentence.
“This isn’t an insult, it’s just that you weren’t born back then. My old friend Zhong Shan Bai Yue and your father knew each other well. That man was a famous prodigy from the Candle Sect, a senior direct disciple. No one hasn’t heard his name.”
It's a pity that Brother Bai Yue fell halfway, otherwise our Zhu Chong sect would have one more divine king.
That's all.
>
Zhongshan Kong Zhou's face was full of regret.
Hearing this.
Shen Changqing now understood why the other party wanted to talk to him. It was because of Zhong Shan Bai Yue's sake.
Regarding Mount Zhongshan's failure.
He doesn't actually know much about it.
In Zhong Shanqiu's memory, he didn't have many memories of his father. His father had fallen five hundred years ago when Zhong Shanqiu had just stepped into the Divine Realm.
It was born seven hundred years ago.
Six hundred years ago, I entered the Zhu Zong.
Five hundred years ago, he set foot in the divine realm. It was also the time when Zhongshan Ba Yue fell and perished.
While Zhong Shan Bai Yue had always remained within the Zhú Zong, for the first hundred years, Zhong Shan Chou had hardly ever seen his father. In the following hundred years after entering Zhú Zong, although there were a few meetings, they were not frequent.
Therefore.
As for Zhōngshān Bǎiyuè, Zhōngshān Chóu is not very familiar with it. Shěn Chángqīng also couldn't get any related memories from the other person's memory.
This content is currently empty.
Anyway, in the other person's memory.
Zhongshan Baiyue is extremely mysterious, and at the same time has a considerable reputation.
Nirvana complete.
One who has the potential to be promoted to a god king.
“Does Kong Zhou know him well”
Shen Changqing's smile on his face receded, as if he was talking about someone completely unrelated.
This way of dealing with things, he was imitating Zhongshan's manner.
The other party's feelings for this father were not deep at all, even less than some of Qiu Feng's attendants.
Looking at his appearance.
Zhong Shan Kong Zhou shook his head slightly: "It's not that I understand him too well. Brother Bai Yue has such a strong talent that whenever he is present, all the personal teachings seem dull in comparison."
Since the demise of my senior brother, Yue, I haven't returned to the sect for a long time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to the sect, I heard that you had defeated two major direct disciples and gained the faith of the Qingfeng Clan.
"You truly live up to your ancestor, Bai Yue's, legacy. Your talent is remarkable! With some time, you might even reach those heights!"
>
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing remained silent.
At the sight of him.
Zhongshan Kong Zhou continued, "The coming battle against the Kui Niu clan will be fraught with danger. You should stay by my side. I will ensure your safety."
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Kong Zhou."
Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, not agreeing to the other party's proposal.
This person is clearly powerful. They entered the Zhuo Sect a thousand years ago and, with their innate talent passed down through generations, must be at least a divine realm seventh-level expert.
But.
>
To stay by his side, one would have no chance to reap any battle honors.
Besides.
After spending a long time together, you might even expose some things.
To put it simply.
He is not the real Zhong Shanqiu. Even if he obtains the other's essence, in his words and actions, he will definitely have some subtle differences, no matter how hard he tries to be like him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
These differences are not immediately apparent.
If it's just for a short time, then there won't be any issues. But if we spend a long time together, who knows what might happen
Seeing the other party's refusal, Zhong Shan Kong Zhou did not show any unusual expression, he just shook his head.
>
"Since Qū Xīnchuán has his own ideas, I won't force him. Remember to always be careful. Wars between races are dangerous; one misstep can lead to annihilation. Many disciples throughout history have fallen in such situations."
In his view.
Lineage has its own dignity.
It's understandable that the other party would refuse.
Though Zhong Shan Kong Zhou couldn't see the former aura of Zhong Shan Bai Yue in Shen Changqing, as a descendant of such a powerful being, he certainly wasn't an ordinary person.
Remembering the legends of his sect, he was also certain in his heart.
... able to suppress two major disciples.
Speaking of strength.
In the middle stage of the divine realm, it's not weak.
“Kong Zhou, do you know anything about the Kuai Niu clan”
Although he refused the other party's proposal, Shen Changqing also gained some information from them during this opportunity.
Tusk ox.
He wouldn't be unfamiliar with this name.
But among all the celestial races, this race is at a level where... it's blind as a bat.
Zhong Shan Kong Zhou pondered for a moment: “The Kui Niu clan once was a powerful family, but there was a great battle that caused all those above the divine realm to perish. They lost their family name and fell two levels.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In order to avoid the crisis of extinction, the Kuíniú clan then sought refuge with the Dǔshān clan.
To this day, after a long period of recuperation, the Qilin Ox clan, though not as powerful as in its heyday, has regained some vitality.
The clan has a powerhouse at the level of a half-step God King, and there are also many in the Divine Realm. This battle will certainly be fraught with danger.
When it came to the half-step God King, his face also became solemn.
Demi-God King.
Although it hasn't truly stepped into the realm of God King, one foot has already crossed the threshold.
Then wait for the strong.
More terrifying than a perfected divine realm is something that no ordinary divine realm can withstand.
From Zhōngshān Kǒngzhōu's words, Shěn Chángqīng had gained a preliminary understanding of the Kuíniú clan.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A demigod sits in command.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Below it are numerous divine realms.
Then.
He turned back and looked at the disciples of Zhōngzhōu on the long boat.
There were tens of thousands of disciples there, with only about one percent reaching the God Realm. As for those at the half-step God King level, it seemed like none were present.
This power is actually quite strong, but it's hard to say how much of a chance there would be against the Kui Niu clan.
Among the powerhouses accompanying us this time, is there anyone at the half-step God King realm
Shen Changqing couldn't help but ask a question.
Zhong Shan Kong Zhou shook his head very directly.
"No."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Finally, he added another sentence.
“A half-step God King Realm expert is not something easily obtained. Even in our Zhúzōng, there aren't many experts at this level.”
His former senior brother, who had once been defeated on the mountain, belonged to this level. Unfortunately, he has already perished.
For five hundred years, no new demigod king has been born in our Zhu Chong.
Becoming a demigod isn't easy.
Hearing this.
Shen Changqing's heart sank slightly: "Without a half-step Divine King to sit in command, how could we possibly stand against the half-step Divine Kings of the Kui Niu clan"
“There’s something to be said about how clearly the saying is conveyed: realm is realm, and strength is strength. A demigod is indeed more terrifying than a perfected god realm, but that doesn't mean there aren't powerful individuals within the god realm who can fight a demigod.”
The sect wouldn't have let us attack the Kui Niu clan if they didn't have some confidence. They wouldn't have let us die in vain.
"I see."
Shen Changqing suddenly realized.
Then his gaze fell on a figure at the front of the long boat.
The leader of this group is Xia of Zhongshan.
If anyone is most likely to oppose a half-step God King, it would be this Elder of the Candle Sect.
However.
As for how powerful Zhong Shanxia truly is, Shen Changqing had only heard about it and never truly witnessed it himself.
This is a continuation of the previous paragraph.
After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and focused it once more on Kong Zhou of Zhongshan.
"My Zhongshan clan also has quite a few vassal races. This time in battle, they should also come to help."
That goes without saying.
Zhong Shan Kong Zhou nodded.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Wars between clans are never as simple as involving just one race. It's just that those vassal races have their own forces to deal with, and the main battlefields aren't here."
