Zhong Shan Chang Hong said a word "follow me" after, and then walked into the main hall first.
Others upon seeing this, said nothing and followed him into the room.
After entering the main hall.
Zhong Shan Chang Hong took the lead and bowed deeply: "Greetings, Your Majesty, greetings, Eastern Xuan Divine King!"
Those who entered the hall with him also bowed and paid their respects upon seeing this.
“No need for formalities!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Candle Emperor's imposing voice echoed.
Everyone stood up straight.
Shen Changqing looked at the towering figure sitting high above him, facing for the first time this emperor of the Zhongshan clan.
It's different from when I was with Bai Yuzong.
At that time, the Candle Emperor was merely a phantom, far less oppressive than seeing him in person.
By contrast.
John Shan Dong Xuan, who stood beside the Candle Emperor, seemed to have lost some of his imposing presence.
"You should step back first."
“Yes!”
Zhong Shan Chang Hong bowed and left.
Then, the Candle Emperor looked at Shen Changqing and the others: "I believe that all of you who entered the Casting God Platform this time have gained a lot of opportunities, but how much your strength has improved is something only you know yourselves."
Please note that I only translated the content within the tags and left the HTML tags untouched.
Logically speaking, those who can enter the Casting God Stage are all eligible to go to the Zhongzhou region and participate in the competition for the Sealing God Platform.

"But regarding the Altar of Conferred Gods, you must still have many things you don't understand. This Emperor will explain everything to you today."
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
As soon as he finished speaking.
Everyone was attentively listening, with focused expressions.
The exact time when the Sealing God Platform came into existence is lost to history, but it follows a pattern: it appears once every 30,000 years. However, this isn't set in stone; whenever a great era of conflict begins, the Sealing God Platform will also appear.
What is an era of great strife You can understand it as a time when countless celestial races flourish.
Perhaps you haven't noticed closely, but as we enter the Great Tribulation, your cultivation, whether in the Divine Realm, the God King Realm, or even above the God King Realm, will be much faster than before.
So in this era, even geniuses are the least valuable.
"True geniuses are those who leave their names inscribed on the God-Exalting Platform."
The Altar of Sealing Gods is located in the Zhongzhou region, which is divided into three parts: the Heavenly Path, the Altar of Sealing Gods, and the Altar of Sealing Gods.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Walk through the Path to Heaven, climb the Platform of Conferred Gods, and you can leave your name on the List of Conferment.
But all those who have left their names on the list of gods shall be blessed by the blessings of heaven and earth, which will greatly benefit your future cultivation.
Among them, walking the path to heaven can also bring great opportunities, but what you gain ultimately depends on your own fortune.
Sky Road!
The Altar of Sealing Gods!
The Conferred Gods List!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The emperor's few words made them feel as if they were witnessing a glorious era.
Millions of years ago, our clan was defeated in the Great Calamity. Our only god-king fell, and since then, we have been on a downward path. Now that the Great Calamity has begun again, our clan must seize this opportunity.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
You are all the hope of my Zhongshan clan. It would be best if you could leave your names on the Fengshen Platform.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But...
"There is one thing that this emperor must remind you all. The Heavenly Path is a one-way street, once you forcefully enter the Heavenly Path, there is only the option of clearing it, with no possibility of halfway retreat."
Unlike the Tiān Tēng Tower, the Tōng Tiān Lù has only nine levels.
“The Nine Heavens Path to the Sky, each cultivator encounters different dangers. According to the records of my Zhongshan clan, the strongest one encountered by those who entered the Divine Realm was a figure who aspired to the level of Heavenly God King.
But this is entirely a matter of probability. Some powerful individuals find it particularly easy to traverse the Heavenly Path, while others may require strength comparable to that of a God King.
Therefore, although you have the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Path, you must also be fully prepared. Once you enter the Heavenly Path, there will be no turning back. If you fail to ascend to the Divine Platform, you will only perish there.
The Candle Emperor's face remained calm.
But his words caused the faces of some people to change slightly.
>
Among the geniuses present, some were familiar with the Divine Platform, while others had no knowledge of it at all.
Now.
From the Zhú Huáng's mouth, it could be considered that he had a comprehensive understanding of the Sealing God Platform.
This is the time.
This Emperor of the Zhōngshān Clan continued, "However, as long as one can remain on the List of Divine Heroes and doesn't die prematurely, they will be guaranteed to become a God King afterward, and there is even a chance to become a Supreme God."
In addition, there is an unspoken rule on the Altar of Conferring Gods.
That means the weaker the cultivator's realm who ascends to the Conferred God Stage, the greater the benefits they receive. Therefore, if one has the confidence to enter the Conferred God Stage with a lower realm, it would be even better.
Speaking of this.
The Candle Emperor looked deeply at Shen Changqing, his meaning self-evident.
Upon hearing this, the other cultivators also turned their gazes to Shen Changqing.
What is a low-level cultivator
Those who can enter the Casting God Platform are basically at the tenth level of the Divine Realm. This person is the only cultivator at the seventh level of the Divine Realm.
Of course!
Please let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
“If you don't have complete confidence, it's best to elevate your realm to its peak before embarking on the path to Heaven. This will be much more stable, after all, the benefits of leaving a name on the Divine Altar are greater than other advantages.”
The Candle Emperor added.
After saying that.
Shen Changqing cupped his fists and asked, "Your Majesty, if the benefits of entering the Altar of Gods are so great, wouldn't there be some powerful figures from all over the heavens who have endured for tens of thousands of years just waiting for the Altar of Gods to appear"
>
It's not that the older, the stronger.
But put yourself in their shoes.
If there are powerhouses like Zhong Shanxia who deliberately suppress their realms and do not break through, the accumulation over tens of thousands of years would be particularly terrifying.
After all, a complete and powerful divine realm expert can live for about 20,000 years.
> If there were other means of extending lifespan, even far beyond twenty thousand years.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Upon hearing this.
The Candle Emperor shook his head: "Your worries don't exist. The Ascension Platform also has limitations. Divine Realm beings stepping onto the Heavenly Path and entering the Ascension Platform must be under five thousand years old, while a Divine King needs to be under one hundred thousand years old."
And you needn't worry, there will be no impact from the Divine Kings on the Divine Realm.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In reality, on the God-Conferring Platform, deities of various realms, including those at the God King level and beyond, all have their own rankings.
“Among them, 10,000 are chosen from the Divine Realm, 1,000 from the Divine King Realm, and 100 from the Divine Master Realm—”
Having heard the explanation.
That's when Shen Changqing finally understood.
It's incredible that the Conferred God Stage would have such limitations.
Besides.
The Heavenly God Platform has 10,000 spots within its divine realm. Even the God King and the God Master can ascend to the Heavenly God Platform.
It can be seen from here.
The Altar of Conferred Gods is indeed much higher in rank than the Casting God Altar.
After all, the guardians of the Casting God Platform are at most only half-step Divine Kings, and they can withdraw at any time. It's unlike the Heavenly Path, which has no way out once you enter.
But when you think about it carefully, it's also normal.
The Casting God Platform of the Heavenly Domain was established by the Zhongshan clan to cultivate the talents within their clan.
Here's the English translation, keeping your HTML tags intact:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Of course, there wouldn't be too much risk involved; it's all about testing.
The Altar of Sealing Gods is different.
This is obviously a treasure that concerns the myriad races of heaven and earth.
A single race wouldn't have any preferential treatment to speak of.
Within this period, no cultivator is allowed to forcefully enter the Heavenly Path. However, cultivators who were originally on the Heavenly Path can still leave their names on the Immortal List if they ascend to the Divine Ascension Platform.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
> "Since the Self-sealing Divine Platform appeared in the world, it has been more than three years. In another year and a half, the Heavenly Road will officially close."
By then, if one truly desired to ascend the Heavenly Path and reach the Altar of Sealing Gods, they would have to wait another fifty years.
At that time, Tongtian Road will be closed, and the real contenders will be the talented powerhouses who are listed in the Fengshen Bang!
Therefore, in a year and a half, I will personally lead you to the Zhongzhou Grand Territory.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan's words.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This could be said to give those who don't understand the rules of Tongtian Road a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Let's embark on a journey every fifty years.
One opening, five years.
This message, in a way, is also kind of bad news.
It is obvious.
Those who can ascend to the Hall of Gods and have their names recorded on the Divine List are undoubtedly geniuses who surpass ordinary ones. This advantage is not merely personal but also includes the benefits bestowed by the Divine List itself.
In normal circumstances, fifty years wouldn't be considered much.
But now in these troubled times, who can say what the world will be like fifty years from now
By then.
They might have worked tirelessly to reach the Divine Ascension Platform, only to find that all the spots were taken by prodigies. At that time, there wouldn't be even a sliver of a chance to compete.
Therefore.
Though Tongtian Road opens once every fifty years, to these cultivators, perhaps this entry would be their only chance.
"Okay."
The Candle Emperor spoke, interrupting everyone's contemplation.
"Next, the Shi clan will open an opportunity for you to enter the Leiyu Valley. You can go in to cultivate in seclusion and forge your bodies in the Thunder Prison, enhancing your physical strength. Most of you have already reached the tenth level of the Divine Realm. The next step is to reach the perfect state of the Divine Realm."
In the realm of the divine, this state is practically the ultimate level of ascension.
Cultivating your physical body will naturally enhance your foundation of flesh and blood. The true prodigies of all heavenly races not only possess unparalleled spiritual power, but their bodies are also capable of wielding boundless might.
"Moreover, undergoing the power of thunder in Leiyü Valley can solidify your divine fire and suppress the emergence of demons. If you are lacking in divine ways, it can allow you to refine Divine Crystals to improve yourselves."
For this, the clan will provide each of you cultivators with one million divine crystals as supplies, as well as some other resources.
Millions of Divine Crystals and other resources as supplies!
Shen Changqing's face changed slightly.
What he lacks right now, in a nutshell, is just the Divine Crystal.
I thought.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Entering the celestial realm is an opportunity even the Zhōng Shān clan would bestow.
Only now did Shen Changqing suddenly understand that the Heavenly Domain was just one opportunity among many. The primary purpose, after all, was to select the true talents suitable for going to the Zhongzhou Great Region.
Right now, entering what is called the Leiyu Valley, and receiving resources like millions of divine crystals to replenish your supplies, is another way to increase your strength.
Here's the translation:<
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
What you need to know is.
To be able to enter the Casting God Stage, one must at least have the strength to kill a half-step God King.
Having replenished such resources and further tempered themselves in the so-called Thunder Prison Valley, when they emerge, it's possible that their strength will reach the level of a God King.
The Self-Governing Hall departed.
Chen Changqing, under the arrangement of a specialist, did not return to Zhuzong. Instead, he moved into a strange house directly.
>
The rest of the cultivators were basically like this.
That's it.
He also didn't pay attention to these trivial matters.
What Shen Changqing truly cared about was what Zhong Shan Dong Xuan had said earlier.
"The Heavenly Path is opened once every fifty years, and each opening lasts for five years. In over a year, the Heavenly Path will close. If you miss this time, you'll have to wait another fifty years to enter again!"
Fifty years long
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
For other cultivators, it is not long.
But for him, fifty years was enough to change a lot of things.
From any powerful person, you can understand that the God-Conferring Platform holds immense opportunities.
Anyone who enters the Pantheon of Deities is essentially given a ticket to enter the realm of the God-Kings, and there is even a possibility of being promoted to the position of a Supreme Deity in the future.
The principle that the strong remain strong.
Chen Changqing understood.
Those who can enter the Sealing God Platform are already considered geniuses. After obtaining a great opportunity and fifty years of precipitation, they will inevitably grow even more terrifying.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
If one were truly to retreat and practice in seclusion for fifty years, it would be difficult to guarantee that one wouldn't be disturbed.
After all.
Over thirty years of ascetic practice on the Divine Forging Platform, he came to understand one thing.
Time is important for cultivators, but opportunities are equally important.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's very difficult to grow even if you have time for intensive cultivation without the corresponding opportunity.
Shen Changqing is very clear about himself.
Compared to all the celestial races, his greatest advantage lies in possessing a panel.
Since entering the Cave Heaven Realm, the panel's usefulness has gradually declined. The reason for this is the absence of killing points and divine power points.
Without these two things, the panel is practically useless.
And to obtain kill points, the only way left is to enter the Death Forbidden Zone.
The Death Zone is extremely dangerous.
Although, with their own strength, the demon clan is no longer a major problem, the dangers of the Death Zone are far more than just the demon clan.
Powerful dark demon clan.
...even causing the God-King to bleed in a tide of death.
All kinds of threats are telling Shen Changqing that his strength is still far behind.
To be frank.
Even if he wasn't afraid of the demon clan right now, it would still be very difficult to silently kill all of them under the circumstances of not revealing himself in the human world.
"If my memory serves me right, the seal of this world on humanity should dissipate in about ten years!"
Shen Changqing thought of another thing.
The ban is lifted.
Faced with demonic evils, humankind has lost all defenses.
By that time, how could the vast human race resist the onslaught of the demon clan
So.
He is nowhere near strong enough right now.
To become stronger.
powerful enough to crush an entire clan of demons with one hand.
Only in this way can we ensure that the human race and their existence are not exposed to the fullest extent.
And.
The human race exists within the Death Forbidden Zone. After exterminating a demon clan, they might attract the attention of other powerful beings. Therefore, the human race itself must possess sufficient strength to ensure its safety and stability.
Once humans are exposed, it might cause even bigger trouble.
No matter which aspect you look at.
>
Wasting fifty years is an unbearable loss.
“The time left to me is not much. If I am truly a being of the Zhongshan Clan, then I can naturally wait patiently for the right time and ascend step by step.”
But it's a pity that I am not a member of the Zhongshan clan, so waiting for the right time and gradually proving enlightenment is impossible for me.
Shen Changqing's expression was calm.
If he was willing, he could have stayed within the Zhongshan clan as Zhong Shanqiu forever.
Millennia from now.
It is comparable to a god king in its own right.
Anyway, given the current circumstances of the Zhongshan clan, it's impossible for them to see through their own identities.
In addition, 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 because he is a human.
> In a year and a half, the Heavenly Path will be my only chance. By breaking through the Heavenly Path and reaching the Sealing God Platform, coupled with my current foundation, even if I can't become a God King at that time, ordinary God Kings would probably not pose a threat to me.
In this way, I have officially established a foothold among all the celestial beings and races.
Even if this situation is small, its significance is completely different.
Now Shen Changqing has already understood.
What does a god realm even mean.
Among the younger generation of all celestial races, he might still be considered strong, but overall, he was utterly insignificant.
Only those who have entered the realm of Divine King truly possess a share of voice.
However.
Here's the translation, keeping HTML tags intact:
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Even the God King makes distinctions.
Even the weakest of divine kings, is still a divine king.
With the current power of martial arts, as long as one makes a breakthrough and enters the eighth or even ninth level of the Heavenly Cave, it is believed that one will be able to rival the power of a God King.
Of course.
This God King refers only to an ordinary God King, not those powerful God Kings.
The gap between a God King and another God King is no smaller than the gap between a Divine Realm expert and a God King.
Like top-tier gods like Zhong Shan Dong Xuan and Zhu Huang, subduing Heavenly Gods wouldn't require much effort at all.
But above the God King.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That is the Lord of the Gods.
Having figured out the issues at hand, Shen Changqing's originally agitated heart had completely calmed down.
Compared to all the races and realms across the heavens, what I achieved in the Heavenly Domain is insignificant.
Let alone all the celestial beings and races.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even a clan of the Zhongshan family wouldn't be able to stand up to him.
Therefore.
Everything and anything, must continue to strengthen its capabilities steadily, and not miss any opportunity.
"Although the Path of Heaven is perilous, ... I have no way out."
According to the Zhongshan clan, the greatest danger one might encounter on the path to the divine realm via Tongtian Road is at the level of Heaven and Earth Divine Kings.
"Therefore, I must make the most of the remaining time to improve my abilities as much as possible."
When Shen Changqing thought of this, he closed his eyes and silently cultivated himself.
Time passes little by little.
Very soon.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Two days passed quietly.
>
Within two days.
Shen Changqing remained inside the room, not taking a single step out.
Suddenly.
A faint ripple came over him, and he immediately opened his eyes. He saw that Zhong Shan Dong Xuan was already there.
He rose directly, clasped his fists in a gesture of respect and said: "Greetings, Master!"
Now.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan tossed a storage ring over.
Shen Changqing reached out and caught it, his expression puzzled: "I wonder, Sect Master, what is this"
"This is the resource that your clan gave you. I see that your physical body in the Heavenly Domain has become stronger. It's evident that you possess an extremely powerful talent in terms of physique."
Therefore, the resources the clan has provided you with primarily focus on physical conditioning.
But to us, the physical body is always merely an auxiliary tool. It only allows you to have an advantage in the same environment, but the truly important thing remains Shinto.
Shinto's non-growth makes immortality difficult. Even if someone possesses unmatched power, they will eventually turn to dust with the passage of time.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan slowly said.
He was worried about Shen Changqing and had been so obsessed with physical training that he neglected the most important thing for a cultivator.
Fortunately.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This time when I came out from the heavenly realm, the other party had already advanced from the fifth level of the Divine Realm to the seventh level. This increase in cultivation wasn't particularly high, but it wasn't bad either.
And.
Also, it's important to consider that the other party may have a shallow understanding and hasn't encountered many different religious beliefs.
But just to be safe, Zhong Shandongxuan still reminded her again.
Upon hearing this.
Only then did Shen Changqing understand. He immediately looked grateful and said, "Thank you, Master Sect Leader, for your advice! I understand!"
As they were talking.
He directly imprinted his own mark onto the storage ring.
Lost in thought.
>
Everything within, falls into perception.
Millions of Divine Crystals!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
...and a row of bottles sealed with medicinal herbs.
To prevent misidentification of the medicinal effect, a faint message is also attached as an explanation.
A quick glance.
Among them, there are ten bottles of Heaven and Earth Divine Pills, two bottles of Sun and Moon Divine Pills, and dozens of bottles of Divine Rank pills.
This will depend on the content within the
tags. Please provide the text inside the
tags so I can translate it for you. For example:If the content was: "Hello, world!"Then the output would be: "
Hello, world!
"
Besides.
There are also ten bottles of blood king's liquid.
When divine consciousness fell upon a stone emitting an enigmatic aura.
In an instant.
The secret transmission of the Heavenly Gate between the brows trembled faintly.
The vibration was only very slight and didn't cause any major problems.
However.
With the tremor of the Heavenly Gate Secret.
Shen Changqing instantly understood the origin of the stone.
Cargo!
With his divine sense withdrawing from the storage ring, he stared at the person before him in shock: "Sect Master, is that what carries it"
“Not bad.”
Dong Xuan of Zhongshan nodded in agreement.
“I made a bet with the Candle Emperor, wagering that you could ascend to the Casting Gods Stage. You succeeded, so I won the artifact. It's of little use to me now, so I might as well give it to you.”
The words were light and airy, yet they carried a great weight.
His chest rose and fell slightly.
Shen Changqing bowed deeply: "Thank you, Sect Master, for the gift!"
"You don't need to thank me. When you become a Divine King and revive our Zhongshan clan, that will be the greatest gift you can give me!"
>
“Disciple…”
Shen Changqing stood up, just as he was about to speak, Zhong Shandong's figure had already disappeared.
For a while.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
His expression was somewhat complicated.
With a flash of the storage ring, the carried object had already appeared in his hand.
Looking at the stone that emanated a mysterious aura, Shen Changqing was very clear about the price of this thing.
This is the only carrier.
That is equivalent to tens of millions of divine crystals.
If this thing were to be tossed out and exchanged for resources, the benefits would be readily apparent.
>
He never expected that the Dongxuan Society of Zhongshan would give him such a precious thing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although the other party treated him this way, he considered himself a member of the Zhongshan clan.
However.
Shen Changqing knew in his heart that he was indeed indebted to the other party.
Shake your head.
He didn't think about that matter for the time being, refocusing his attention on the object in his hand.
A secret agitation stirs at the brow's heavenly gate, yearning for a vessel to hold it.
But.
Yet Shen Changqing forcefully suppressed this surge of emotion.
It's very simple.
Here is the Zhōng Shān clan, if heaven's gate ever reveals a problem and exposes itself, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If you really want to study the relationship between the carrier and the Heavenly Gate Secret, you also need to find a safe place.
