have been killed instantly.”But—"What I truly care about, is not Shen Changqing's strength, but the appearance of these two powerful demons."Gu Xuanji was silent.He knew what the Eastern Imperial Edi..."Yes..."

Zhuang Daozi didn't hesitate and immediately reported everything that had happened to the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce during this period.

Now, Zhuang Daozi is no longer just the chief talisman master of the Chamber of Commerce. He also has two other identities: he is a deacon of the Qingzong and the head of the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce.

But all matters concerning the Qingcheng Merchant Association are handled entirely by the other party.

This past year.

Because of the Azure Sect's backing, the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce thrived. After all, having a top-tier sect behind them meant their auction and trading operations were the preferred choice for ancient cultivators.

Regarding revenue.

The Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce is, compared to the original Red Mountain City, about twice as large in the same amount of time.

“Nowadays, many cultivators want to obtain the talismans drawn by the Sect Leader, but the Sect Leader has been in seclusion all this time. We can only refuse.”

At last, Zhuangzi said once more.

Although he is the chief talisman maker, there's no denying that his talismans' power is only average.

A second-rank middle grade talisman master, he was quite good in his daily life, but when facing some powerful individuals, he fell far short.

Shen Changqing nodded. "This seat will draw a batch of talismans and leave them in the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce. You can sell them according to the current market price. In addition, the chamber of commerce can openly purchase monster furs."

At the very least, they're king-level deities, at most, they're emperor-level deities. As for the price, as long as it's about the same as the market, there shouldn't be a problem.

Although he currently has some materials for drawing talismans, it's inevitable that they will eventually run out. It's a good idea to gather some beforehand as preparation.

It's like finding the pelt of a divine emperor or a celestial beast, not something easily obtained.

Now let's put out a message, as to when we can truly see something, it remains to be seen.

As for the skins of the nether beasts below the Immortal Lord, they were prepared by Shen Changqing for other talisman practitioners in the Qingzong.

Since he is a master of the Fu Dao sect, the subsequent development of the Qing Zong must be related to Fu Dao cultivation. It would be best if it could cultivate a considerable number of Fu Dao masters.

Any Fu Dao master is a money-making machine.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It's just that cultivating a master of the Fu Dao sect is difficult, and many forces can't bear such a price.

But Shen Changqing was different.

He himself is a master of the Sanjie Fudao sect, only one step away from the fourth rank.

With their own talisman cultivation, it shouldn't be a problem to cultivate some first- and second-rank talisman masters.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At worst.

It is also possible to cultivate an ordinary Sixth-Rank Runemaster.

He is merely a wizard who doesn't reach the level of a Master, ultimately unable to make it onto the stage. Even a Sixth Rank Wizard is only equivalent to the Divine Realm level, and their money-making ability is naturally not as useful as reaching the Master level.

However.

To cultivate a Fu Dao master, one also needs to be well-prepared.

At least.

Drawing tools are indispensable.

So, let's collect a batch first and talk later.

Even though the initial investment in cultivating alchemists might be a net outflow, as long as they are cultivated successfully, the return flow will be very easy.

That's all.

Zhuangzi certainly doesn't mean anything.

In his view, Shen Changqing's collection of divine emperor-level spirit beast pelts solidified the rumors that he was a fourth-rank talisman master.

It was clear that in that battle, he was no longer hiding his intentions.

>

Just thinking about it.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Zhuang Daozi's heart grew increasingly awed.

A Fourth-Rank Rune Dao Master!

This is something he never dared to imagine.

Zhuang Daozi was well aware of the gulf in power between himself and a fourth-order Fu Dao Grandmaster. In the presence of such beings, he felt as insignificant as an ant.

To have the opportunity to speak with such a powerful figure and hope to receive guidance from them is an unparalleled honor in Zhuang Daozi's eyes.

Whenever Zhuang Daozi thinks about his decision to join Hongshan City back then, he would silently give himself a thumbs-up in his heart.

Had it not been for a wise choice in the past, I wouldn't be who I am today.

> Additionally...

"You announce on my behalf that a month from now, there will be an auction of the top six divine skills of the Qingcheng Business Alliance. Any cultivators who are interested can come to participate in the bidding!"

Lastly, Shen Changqing dropped another bombshell.

After eliminating the three ancient aristocratic families, Qingzong had a large number of Shenjun inheritances in his hands. It was unnecessary to keep so many inheritances. It would be more practical to auction off some of them and exchange them for Netherworld Spirit Stones.

Other sects carefully guard their own teachings and are reluctant to reveal them. This is not only to prevent other cultivators from finding weaknesses in their lineages, but also to stop others from gaining the same teachings as themselves.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After all, people are selfish.

To be precise.

Not only humans, but also cultivators from other races are like this.

As long as one nurtures intelligence, there will be selfishness.

When one reaches a certain level, they don't want other unrelated cultivators to be at the same level as them. This not only brings no benefits but also threatens their own position.

However, Shen Changqing didn't care about these things. A few Divine Monarch legacies were nothing to him. How could they possibly pose a threat

Even if it were passed down by a God Emperor, Shen Changqing wouldn't care much.

What he truly cared about was the divine legacy.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

This level of inheritance is already at the pinnacle of the underworld heavens, and it mustn't be revealed easily.

Originally, Shen Changqing wanted to auction off the God Emperor's inheritance directly, but after some thought, he decided not to.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After all, although the Qingcheng Merchant Guild has some reputation, it only operates within a small area of the ancient wasteland. It would be difficult for a divine emperor's inheritance to fetch a very high price at an auction.

Therefore.

Shen Changqing needs to use the Shenjun inheritance to warm up first.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce's reputation has spread, then release the Divine Emperor Inheritance.

Here's the translation, remembering to keep your HTML tags:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At that time.

A divine emperor's inheritance, enough to fetch a price that satisfies me.

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

But doing so also has its risks. The Qingcheng Merchant Association's reputation will inevitably attract the attention of cultivators from all walks of life, but Shen Changqing now doesn't care about these things.

After all, when he wiped out the three ancient powers, his desire to keep a low profile was destined to be impossible.

Therefore.

Shen Changqing simply established the Qingzong, directly acting ostentatiously.

Anyway, he had already cultivated the method of stealing heaven and changing day to an extremely high level. If it wasn't for a god-king personally present, absolutely no one would be able to see through his disguise.

But right now, the situation in the Nine Regions is severe. Although Divine Lords are not allowed to personally intervene on the surface, they still have to oversee the situation, and no one dares to leave without permission.

If any divine being were to disregard all consequences and make a move, the impact would be too great.

Up to now.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The greatest hidden danger.

...Instead, it was the ancient emperor of dust who vanished.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Although Shen Changqing possessed the inheritance of the God-Subduing Divine Sovereign, Gu Chen, the Ancient God Emperor, might not necessarily divulge his whereabouts easily. However, one must be prepared for the worst-case scenario. Therefore, he was considered the greatest threat.

It's a pity.

The whereabouts of the ancient dust divine emperor are erratic.

With Qingzong's current strength, it wouldn't be easy to find the other party's whereabouts.

If there is a chance.

Shen Changqing naturally wouldn't mind exterminating this threat.

But now that the whereabouts of Emperor Guchen are unknown, Shen Changqing can only wait in secret, silently accumulating strength before making a move.

He believes.

Both of them were looking for opportunities to retaliate against each other. The Ancient God Emperor was also secretly seeking chances to deal with him.

After all, the inheritance of the Heavenly God Venerable wouldn't allow it to fall into the hands of a second cultivator.

Therefore.

Shen Changqing was waiting.

... the ancient divine emperor came to his door uninvited.

All thoughts were plundered in Shen Changqing's mind, then all fell silent. Zhuang Daozi didn't know what the other was thinking, he just obeyed and went to do it.

The ancient wilderness was vast.

Thirty-six states, each with an area equivalent to several great thousand worlds. Thirty-six states integrated together, home to billions of living beings.

Within these thirty-six prefectures, numerous factions and powers rose to prominence. Countless large and small sects and aristocratic families dotted the landscape.

>

But any news that spreads is also very difficult to reach all thirty-six prefectures of the ancient barren land.

However.

This time, however, was different.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Once the news spread from the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce that a top-tier Divine Monarch inheritance auction would be held in a month, within ten days, the news swept across all thirty-six prefectures of Guhuang.

All forces and cultivators were greatly shocked.

The Transmission of the Divine Monarch.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

For many forces and cultivators, it is an unattainable existence.

And the inheritance of top-tier divine monarchs is even rarer.

In the past, only a handful of top-tier sacred lands, such as Guhuang and Taixu, could possess the inheritance of top-ranking deities.

Nowadays, there are quite a few external forces and powerful figures residing in the ancient wasteland. However, top-tier Divine Monarch inheritances are still rare.

Now, there is news coming out of the Qincheng Merchant Alliance, which has made these forces and cultivators excited.

Even those forces with top-tier divine inheritance are now vying for more.

All in all.

Nobody would dislike having too much inheritance to manage.

Moreover, every additional school of transmission signifies that the force behind it has an increased probability of cultivating a top-tier powerhouse in the future.

After all, not every tradition is a perfect fit for everyone. Multiple lineages simply mean more opportunities.

And—

Even powerful inheritances like those of a divine being cannot be replicated infinitely. Once the Dao韻 power within an inheritance is depleted, the inheritance will cease to exist altogether.

Only cultivators who have cultivated this inheritance to its completion can, by relying on their own comprehension, once again leave behind complete traces of the Dao rhyme.

If one has not cultivated to the realm of great accomplishment, even if there are traces of ancestral teachings left behind, they are destined to be incomplete and flawed.

That's why.

Some forces gradually decline in power.

For these reasons, the complete transmission was broken: due to unforeseen circumstances causing the fall of the powerful figures within these factions, and the exhaustion of the lingering Daoist essence left behind by the sects.

In this way, these forces will naturally decline.

Few forces can guarantee a constant supply of powerful individuals. However, any force that can achieve this level is undoubtedly one with deep foundations.

So.

A top-tier divine transmission doesn't just represent a greater chance of cultivating top experts in the future, it also means that the sect can continue for a longer period.

Therefore.

As soon as the news from the Qingcheng Commerce Guild spread, numerous cultivators of various factions immediately headed towards Qingjiang Prefecture.

Qingjiang Prefecture.

This is the estate where Qingzong resides today.
