Shen Changqing's expression moved.

He had heard too many rumors about the First Emperor of Qin.

But.

Though Shen Changqing was unsure of the opponent's exact strength, he had never been unclear about it.

Now that I look at the meaning of the Eastern Edict, it seems clear that he is telling himself some secret information.

But what is the purpose

He can't be too sure about it for now.

The Eastern Emperor said: “A hundred years ago, there was a catastrophic disaster that swept across the Qin Dynasty. It was even more terrifying than the calamity in Guangyuan Prefecture. A supremely fearsome demon saint, accompanied by numerous demonic creatures, marched directly towards the capital.”

The demonic saint's aura was overwhelming, and wherever he passed, none could withstand it.

Fortunately, his goal was very clear, and he only headed straight for the capital. Otherwise, the casualties among the people would have been in the hundreds of millions.

Demon Saint!

Shen Changqing's first thought was the demon saint's remaining body imprisoned in the Sealing Demon Tower.

"So that Demonic Saint ended up in the hands of Emperor Qin"

He tentatively asked.

Dongfang Zhao nodded. "Yes, that demon saint came with overwhelming force. In that battle, many of our Demon Suppression Division soldiers died. The previous leader of the Demon Suppression Division died in that battle as well."

Then, Your Majesty made a move, using the national fortune of Qin to snipe the demon saint, slashing its body and forcing it to retreat heavily wounded.

Since then, no powerful demon dared to set foot in the Qin territory easily.

Speaking of that battle.

His eyes flickered a bit.

A scene from a century ago.

Now it seems to be right in front of me.

Through Dongfang Zhao's words, Shen Changqing also seemed to have seen the battle of that year and the majesty of Emperor Qin.

Now.

Then he truly understood.

Why did Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, always remain in his palace and yet have such a powerful reputation

The same.

Although the demonic clan possesses immense power, few formidable demons venture into Qin.

>

To put it simply, it's out of fear of Qin Shi Huang.

After all, even demons fear death.

To have entered the Qin Dynasty and encountered the First Emperor himself would be a sure path to death.

The Eastern Decree said, “Your Majesty is aging, and demons are rampant only recently. If this were decades ago, the demonic chaos wouldn't be as severe as it is now.”

"Eastern Garrison General just said, the Qin Dynasty's Qi, could it be that Qi can also be used"

>

There is a saying about fortune.

He is well-known.

But to say that borrowing qi (luck/fortune) from an enemy is something I've never seen before.

“Qiyun is ethereal and beyond human control. When it comes to qiyun, I actually don't know much myself. If you have time, you can ask Yining, or enter some ancient sites. Perhaps there are answers there.”

After all, in ancient times, the energy of heaven and earth was not as ethereal and intangible as it is today.

The Eastern Mandate didn't talk much about Qi Luck.

Whether it's a lack of understanding or perhaps some reservations,

Yi Ning!

Shen Changqing's brow furrowed.

He remembered it.

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

According to the message, Yi Ning should be in Nanhai City. However, when I went there, I didn't encounter them.

It seems like the other party is either busy with something else or has left Nanhai City.

Immediately.

Shen Changqing said seriously: “Dongfang Zhenshu suddenly told me so much this time, it wouldn’t just be because I am the town guard of Nanyou Mansion, would it”

And as for my position as the Guardian of Nan Yu Mansion, I'm sure that it wouldn't be possible without the contributions of Lord Protector.

>

The Eastern Command certainly has its own purpose.

Otherwise.

The other party wouldn't say so much to themselves.

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

Furthermore.

The imperial court bestowed upon itself the position of Southern Ghost Prefecture Protector, without any reason or justification. It is impossible to believe that this action was not orchestrated by someone within their ranks.

That's it.

This is just a placeholder.

Dongfang Zao smiled gently and said, "Shen Zhen should not be so suspicious. I have no ill intentions towards you. In fact, I've been watching your growth all along. You have deep karma and extraordinary blessings. It's truly enviable that you have achieved what you have today."

I was thinking, if you can't break the limits, then I would ask you, are you willing to follow the path of a town guard

But now, it's not so troublesome anymore.”

How strong is the Grandmaster

The content is empty. Please provide me with the text you would like translated.

Before the Eastern Decree, it was unclear because there had never been a master of great renown.

But.

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

Now he already knows.

The Grandmaster is very powerful, even stronger than an ordinary General who guards a state.

“I am old. Back then, I entered the Heavenly Realm and consumed the Longevity Fruit, extending my lifespan. However, no matter how long it is extended, there is a limit to one's lifespan.”

A hundred years ago, the previous Head of the Demon Suppression Division was nearing the end of his lifespan. He chose me as his successor.

>

"Now, I've come to this point..."

Please note that I only translated the text within the > tags and left the HTML tags untouched.

Dongfang Zao sighed, but there was no sadness in his expression.

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

birth, old age, sickness, and death.

For him, it's already a very open view.

Having heard this.

Shen Changqing's heart trembled.

The words of the Eastern Emperor are already spoken very clearly.

The other party's meaning.

He clearly wants to make himself the next leader of the Demon Suppression Division.

If that's the case.

Then everything makes sense.

"Why would Dongfang choose me as its guardian"

>

Shen Changqing asked the doubts in his heart.

There are so many people in the Demon Suppression Division, there's no reason why they would single me out.

He had only been with the Demon Suppression Division for a few years at most, and suddenly he chose himself as the next leader of the Demon Suppression Division. It couldn't help but feel a bit absurd.

The Eastern Emperor said: "The head of the Demon Suppression Division is not someone who is qualified to hold the position. Just like Your Majesty, the current head of the Demon Suppression Division must also have strong deterrence."

Only those in power who possess sufficient strength can suppress chaos.

Though Your Majesty can suppress the Demon Saint with your Qi, the price to be paid is considerable!

That price is quite steep, isn't it

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

Shen Changqing's heart skipped a beat.

The Eastern Emperor's words gave him a clearer understanding of the relationship between the Demon Suppression Division and the Qin Empire.

Strictly speaking.

The First Emperor was like a nuclear weapon, its primary function being to deter powerful demon clans.

The master of the National Capital Demon Suppression Division, then, was a powerful presence within.

At the same time.

Under the circumstance that Emperor Qin could not make a move easily, suppress any powerful demon who intends to cause harm.

“As for why you were chosen!”

Turning his attention, the Eastern Emperor's expression grew serious.

"The reason is simple, you should be strong enough."

Even when you first showcased your talents, I noticed you. However, at that time, you were not yet my ideal choice.

Back then, there were some powerful masters within the Demon Suppression Division, but none of them were particularly outstanding.

As for Yi Ning and the others, to be honest, they are too old. Becoming a town guard is just a dead end.

"Not until you reach the pinnacle of a Grandmaster's level will I truly consider you the ideal candidate to take over as the next leader."

Shen Changqing did not interrupt.

Please note that the "" characters are part of the HTML tags and should not be translated.

Instead, he let Dongfang Zhao continue speaking.

“Every commander of the Demon Suppression Division must reach a strength comparable to that of a great demon. Therefore, the stronger one's strength before becoming a Guardian, the stronger they will become after.”

A master at the peak of martial arts, is considered the strongest below the breaking of limits.

These candidates, if they lack treachery in their hearts, will be the next leaders of the Demon Suppression Division.

The Eastern Emperor said a lot in one breath.

We've arrived here.

He paused for a moment, a smile appearing on his face.

"To be honest, you don't seem like the type who would be loyal to Qin or the Demon Suppression Agency. But you have your own principles. If it weren't for no other choice, I wouldn't want to give you the position of the next head of the Demon Suppression Agency."

But you have already broken through to the Grandmaster level, and there may be even further possibilities ahead.

>

I truly can't think of anyone more suitable than you.

The Eastern Emperor's speech was straightforward.

Shen Changqing's mouth twitched slightly.

>

But on second thought, what the other party said doesn't seem entirely unreasonable.

Loyal to the Qin Dynasty.

Loyal to the Demon Suppression Division.

That also depends on the circumstances.

The Eastern Emperor said: "The head of the Demon Suppression Division doesn't need a blindly loyal person; they need someone intelligent, principled, and capable. Only such a person can guarantee the longevity of the Demon Suppression Division."

The former Town Demon Office head once told me, we town guards are responsible for saving the common people and protecting the Qin dynasty.

But, this sentence.

The common people are in the front, and the Qin Empire is behind. I believe Shen Zhen should also understand this.

The common people and the masses are ahead.

> Guarding the Qin Dynasty.

Shen Changqing silently recited it, a sense of relief washing over him.

The Eastern Emperor's words have already gone against the heavens and earth.

But.

Though what the other person said, it didn't make me feel any discontent.

To a certain extent.

Eastern Command and I are actually the same type of person.

Even if it's not.

There are also many similarities.

> But you don't have to feel any psychological pressure. As long as I am alive for one day, this burden will not fall on your shoulders. You have now broken through the limits and become the second Grandmaster in the world.

Then I would like to ask, what is the method of breaking through a grandmaster

Dongfang Zuo's gaze was piercing.

>

This problem has been weighing on his mind for a long time.

If the method could be obtained, the Demon Suppression Division might be able to mass-produce experts at the Grandmaster level.

That's it then.

>

Eradicating demons and sweeping across nations are not issues at all.

This rumor is not entirely wrong.

But there is one difference. Breaking through the limits is not about reaching the pinnacle of the two major systems, but about having the three major systems advance simultaneously to their peak, only then can you break through the limits and become a martial artist at the Grandmaster level.

"The Three Systems"

The Eastern Emperor’s expression was one of confusion.

He had never heard of the three major systems.

"One is the physical body, two is true qi, three is spirit!"

"Physical tempering refines the physique, causing qi and blood to further transform. True Qi transforms into true essence, true essence condenses into a golden core, and spirit nurtures the golden core. The two combine to cultivate the soul. At this point, the martial artist has broken through the threshold and advanced to the Grandmaster realm."

Shen Changqing succinctly summarized his understanding of the Grand Master.

Three major systems.

At this moment, Dongfang Zhao finally truly understood how to break through the Grandmaster realm.

At the same time.

He also understands how difficult it is to achieve this level.

> Waiting until Shen Changqing finished speaking.

The head of the Demon Subduing Division shook his head.

Breaking limits is indeed not as easy as it seems. A single system reaching its peak is already extremely rare, and two systems both at their pinnacle are even rarer still.

As you said, the three systems are all at their peak, almost cutting off the path forward.

And.

Today, the third system has not spread at all.

Many martial artists, after becoming masters, tend to neglect the cultivation of true qi.

So.

There is no such thing as a master who has condensed the golden elixir.

>

Even if the message spreads.

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

It can also make ninety-nine percent of so-called geniuses sigh with regret as they gaze at the threshold.

Therefore, it can be seen.

Breaking through to the Grandmaster level, how difficult is it

Dongfang Zhao sighed inwardly and then said, "Though the Grand Master is difficult to attain, at least there's a path forward. After you were promoted to Grand Master, have you seen the way ahead"

“I have yet to reach the peak of Grandmaster, and the path ahead is still unseen.”

Shen Changqing said.

He is only at the second level of Soul and the sixth level of Divine Thunder Golden Body right now. To truly reach the pinnacle of Grandmaster, both his Soul and Divine Thunder Golden Body need to be at the tenth level.

In comparison.

I'm still lacking in many areas.

"Not yet to the Grandmaster's peak!"

The Eastern Emperor nodded in agreement.

"You've only just broken through to the Grandmaster realm, yet you already possess such strength. If you truly grow to the peak of the Grandmaster realm, rivalling a great demon wouldn't be a problem."

Back then, even if you had reached your limit, it wouldn't have been a problem to take charge of the Demon Suppression Department.

It's difficult to break through to the level of a demon saint.

Or so.

It's virtually impossible.

The Demon Suppression Division has been around for over three hundred years, and no one has ever reached this level of strength.

This is the limit.

It's just comparable to a formidable demon.

While it is true that Qin Huang was able to severely wound the Demon Saint, this was due to the Demon Saint borrowing the Qi Luck of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Therefore.

Their strength is comparable to that of a great demon, already at the limit.

A guardian who has reached this realm is also known as a high-ranking guardian.

What is honor!

A state of being worthy of veneration as an ancestor.

Shen Changqing fell silent.

He neither agreed nor refused.

He/She commands the Demon Suppression Division.

I had never thought like this before.

But now.

Shen Changqing was a little moved.

Just like becoming the guardian of Nanyu Prefecture, as long as it is well-managed, the power of the Demon Suppression Division there will become the foundation for one's growth.

If I could truly become the master of the Demon Suppression Division, that would be something else entirely.

This ruler.

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

... are not comparable to those in charge of the demon-suppressing divisions.

But it was truly real, holding the entire Qin Town Demon Division in its grasp.

Once in office.

He could make the entire Demon Suppression Office work for him.

That way.

One need not lift a finger. Simply remain in the capital, and demonic creatures will arrive ceaselessly, providing an endless supply for me to slaughter.

However.

If one were to take control of the Demon Suppression Office, there would also be downsides.

The simplest one is responsibility.

Gazing eastward.

To be honest.

Here is the translation of your text, preserving HTML tags:

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

Shen Changqing couldn't tell that the other person was close to death. There wasn't a hint of decay on them, and they looked no different from someone in their middle years.

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

But.

Since that's what Dongfang Zhao said, he might as well believe him.

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

Perhaps.

People have their own ways of concealing things, so we can't be sure.

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

After all, as the head of the Demon Suppression Division, there was a decaying and senescent aura emanating from him. It was common knowledge that he was near death.

Instead, it's more like the other person, calm and collected.

But it was even more elusive.

The Eastern Emperor said, “If you weren't coming to the capital this time, I would have found a time to meet with you another day. Since you're back, I might as well tell you all at once.”

I'm not forcing you, if you don't want to, I won't pressure you.

But still, the same sentence applies, in these turbulent times, while individual strength is important, having a grasp on an organizational force can sometimes be much more convenient.

...how you think it should be done.

After some thought, Shen Changqing said: "I need to think about this carefully and can't give you an answer right away."

"No hurry."

The Eastern Emperor smiled gently.

"Before I die, just give me an answer."

"Um... may I ask, esteemed guard, when will you die"

Shen Changqing hesitated for a moment, then asked.

Suddenly.

Eastern Zao's face stiffened slightly, then he laughed it off.

"Rest assured, you won't see me die for the next few years. When it's my time to go, you'll naturally know. Do you hope I die sooner or later"

“The general is jesting, of course. Naturally, I hope you live for a long time.”

This tag has no content.

After all, when the sky falls, it's better to have someone tall to take the brunt of it than to face it alone.

Shen Changqing honestly replied.

By this point in the conversation, there was no need for him to hold back anymore.

However.

What truly gave him the confidence to speak frankly with Dong Fang Zhao was not the other party's promises, nor the recent exchange of hearts, but his own strength.

Shen Changqing believes.

Even if Dongfang Zhao turned his face, with his strength, he could still retreat unharmed.

Then again.

Even if the other party has ulterior motives, they have to seriously consider their own capabilities before taking any action.

>

To be honest.

Let me know if you'd like to translate more text! I'm ready when you are.

Shen Changqing did not believe that Dongfang Zhao had any ill intentions towards him.

At least so far, there has been no awareness.

On the other side.

Dong Fang shook his head and chuckled, "You speak with honesty. Fine, given your talent, it's possible that in the next few years, you'll grow to an even more powerful level. When you command the Demon Suppression Division then, things will be much smoother."

“Actually, after breaking through to the Grandmaster level, one can still replenish their divine soul power by hunting down demons and monsters.”

"If General-in-Chief were willing, perhaps he could release some of the demons from the Demon Sealing Tower to me. That way, I could grow stronger more quickly."

Shen Changqing's face showed a probing look.

He's been shouldering the demons of the Sealing Demon Tower for a long time. If he could get it for free, that would be best.

The Eastern Emperor said: "The demons imprisoned in the Demon Sealing Tower are not numerous, and capturing one requires a considerable effort. Nowadays, the demons in the Demon Sealing Tower mainly supply the Demon Suppression Pavilion, allowing them to research ways to compensate for the shortcomings of the Guardians."

This matter concerns all the garrison commanders of the Demon Suppression Department and cannot be taken lightly.

This is a simple example of HTML code.

The remaining demons were also the key to the birth of a new guardian.

Shen Zhen should understand that when a person is not powerful enough to be invincible in the world, they still need help from others.

I only ask you, if I gave you all the demons and monsters within the Sealing Demon Tower, would you have the confidence to be invincible in the world, fearless of the invasion of the demon race, and protect the peace and well-being of all living beings

Take a deep breath.

It is not possible.

He wasn't lying about that.

Although Shen Changqing was confident in his own strength, he also knew that it would be difficult for him to be invincible in the world with his own power.

Even if all the demons in the Sealing Demon Tower were slain by him, to what extent it could push his soul to is still unknown.

If the soul cannot ascend.

It's also very difficult to ascend to the divine golden body.

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

To put it another way.

Even if it were true that both the soul and the divine sky golden body reached the tenth stage, allowing him to break through to the peak of the Grandmaster level.

But what can be done about it

This is the limit.

Shen Changqing could only rely on his skills to deal with powerful demons.

But to deal with the demon saint, it might not be possible.

So.

Unrivaled in the world, something those demons of the Sealing Demon Tower couldn't even dream of.

And.

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

The energy provided by the Demon Sealing Tower can allow oneself to break through to the peak of Grandmaster, which is the most ideal.

In fact.

Here's the translation:

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

He felt that the Demon Sealing Tower would give him a low probability of breaking through to the peak of the Grandmaster level.

Shen Changqing could hear the emperor's decree.

Demon Sealing Tower.

Actually, it is the foundation of the entire Demon Suppression Division, and hope.

If you use the foundation and hope, to exchange for a powerful person who is invincible in the world, that's natural not a problem.

But if that can't be done, then we'll have to give it some serious thought.

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

That's it.

He also wouldn't betray his conscience and say he could do it.

“There are rules for a reason. If you can truly achieve that level, I can break the rules for you. But if you can't, then you'll have to follow the rules of the Demon Suppression Bureau.”

The Eastern Emperor spoke in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing had already given up on the idea of freeloading.

Then.

The Eastern Emperor changed the subject: "You came back to the Demon Suppression Division, you must have your own purpose, right Is it for the black market auction, or something else"

It is obvious.

He also had heard rumors about the black market auction.

Shen Changqing smiled faintly: "The auction in the black market is one aspect, and on the other hand, I want to ask the people of Qinshen Pavilion to go to Nanhai City and Pushan City respectively to build a town demon prison for imprisoning demons."

"I wonder if this is possible"

"Build a Demon Suppression Prison"

At first, Dongfang Zhao was puzzled. Then he understood.

He looked at the people beside him and calmly said,

“When it comes to building the Demon Suppression Prison in the inner sanctum of your heart, there shouldn’t be any major issues. However, you will need to pay the corresponding price and contribute accordingly. After all, those within the inner sanctum wouldn't just randomly go to the Southern Gloom Mansion.”

I cannot order them unless it is necessary.

So, to get them to go to the Nanyu Mansion, there must be something that moves them.

"In your opinion, how much merit would be appropriate for defending this place"

This is an example of how to translate text with HTML tags.The HTML tags will be kept as they are, and only the text inside them will be translated.Please provide me with the text you want to translate and I will do my best!

Let's just say that building the Imperial Demon Prison cost no less than two thousand merit points. Take a look and see if you can afford this expenditure.

"Two thousand feats of merit!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing suddenly felt a toothache.

The capital city's Demon Suppression Prison is quite large, though the one in Nanyu Prefecture is a bit smaller.

But even if it's small, a thousand accomplishments are still needed.

Two Demon Suppression Prisons, conservatively estimated at 2,000 merit points each, plus some additional expenditures and labor costs.

Well, let's just say.

Without three thousand feats of merit, one would be afraid to come down.

First time.

Shen Changqing thought about giving up.

But upon serious reflection, although 3,000 meritorious deeds are many, after the construction of the Demon Suppression Prison, it has continuously benefited oneself.

The initial investment can be completely viewed as an investment.

>

Thought has arrived here.

Shen Changqing simply nodded: "The two Demon Suppressing Prisons of Nanyu Mansion don't need to be too large. I am willing to contribute three thousand meritorious points. Sir, do you think that is enough"

“Three thousand feats of merit, that’s about enough. I'll go ask for you.”
