e other two also sat back down again.Then.He looked at Beiming Wang.What are the General's plans for coming to Nanyou Mansion this timeHearing that the Southern Ghost Mansion will soon be auctioning o...After seeing the panel, Shen Changqing was both pleased and a little regretful.
It's a pity.
The fifteen layers of Heavenly Martial Qi were also unable to give birth to the true meaning of martial arts.
In other words.
He is still not considered a master martial artist.
But—
Shen Changqing felt the surging Tianwu Zhenqi in his dantian. Now, he was even more powerful than before his breakthrough.
In short.
Even without the true meaning of martial arts, relying on his current foundation, no one in the Innate realm should be able to match him.
The only issue is.
Can the self of today really stand against a martial arts grandmaster
"A master-level expert, the main problem lies in the true meaning of martial arts, that is to say, a master-level expert's true strength lies in spiritual attacks."
Excluding the spiritual aspect, just looking at physical strength and the concentration of true energy, it's not necessarily much stronger than I am now.
Shen Changqing thought silently.
He is very familiar with his own situation, and he also has some understanding of the martial arts world.
In the martial arts world, most people focus primarily on internal cultivation.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
External techniques are just used to build a foundation during the body-training stage.
After reaching the stage of Tongmai (connecting meridians), one begins to focus primarily on internal energy cultivation.
Besides.
If one wants to achieve success in external techniques, it requires a considerable amount of time and resources.
It's just that the consumption is large.
Although one might have achieved proficiency in external arts, compared to internal arts of the same realm, it is utterly incomparable.
In this way.
Truly, those who diligently cultivate external skills are few and far between.
The undefeated golden body of seven layers.
Let Shen Changqing be confident, in terms of physical body, there wouldn't be many who could compare to himself.
That's it.
The difference between him and the Grandmaster may lie in their understanding of martial arts essence.
"The true meaning of martial arts!"
>
Even though he had heard Jiang Zuo speak about it, he still didn't have a clear understanding of how to truly grasp the essence of martial arts.
After mastering the Hundred Battles Blade Technique, one can directly point towards the realm of true martial arts intent.
Up to now.
As for my comprehension of the Hundred Battles Sword Technique, I've only reached around the third layer. I haven't even entered the fourth, let alone achieved the fifth layer of mastery.
"Killing Value!"
“I need more kill points now—”
Having discarded the thoughts that were not conducive, Shen Changqing knew very clearly what he needed now.
The true meaning of martial arts is difficult to comprehend, but it doesn't mean he will always be stuck at the innate realm.
The division of realms.
That's just a manifestation of strength.
In other words.
If one's true qi is powerful enough to kill a martial arts master with a single punch, then who would dare say he is a congenital realm warrior
To put it plainly, the division of realms is simply a way to distinguish strength. What truly matters is an individual's overall comprehensive strength.

Shen Changqing understood.
If he can't comprehend the true meaning of martial arts, then he will frantically increase his Heavenly Martial Qi and Invincible Golden Body.
If fifteen layers of Heaven-Martial Qi cannot contend with a Grandmaster, then can twenty-five layers of Heaven-Martial Qi be powerful enough to kill a Grandmaster with one punch
By that time.
Where one stands is ultimately up to oneself to decide.
"As for the street where Wanhu Tower is located, there's a possibility that other demons still exist. However, if Hong Yi has left, even if other demons are present, it's very likely they also retreated with her."
For now, we can only wait for news from the Tianwen-1 mission.

Shen Changqing steadied his mind and stopped thinking so much.
Outside the eastern city.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
There was a wide open space where tents were pitched, and soldiers patrolled back and forth.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
This is the main camp of the Black Tiger Army.
Due to the geographical location of Dahuang Prefecture, almost every city and town has a large military garrison.
Now night has fallen.
In the large camp, torches were lit, driving away the darkness.
And at the general's tent, a powerfully built man clad in iron armor sat in command. Below him were two others sitting.
One is Zhongchi.
>
One is Nie Xu.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
But what's different is that Zhong Chi today bears no resemblance to how he looked when he was at Tianyi Building. Instead, he has completely changed his appearance and disguised himself as a young scholar.
At this time, the atmosphere inside the camp was extremely solemn.

Zhōngchí said, “The Wanhualou is indeed an outpost of the Eternal Alliance without a doubt. Today, my Demon Suppression Division has strong experts who ventured deep into Wanhualou, engaging in battle with the demons of Wanhualou and discovering that everyone within Wanhualou are corpse puppets.”
The leader of the group, a demonic being, was also incredibly powerful.
One of the purposes of Wanhu Lou's existence is to collect the vital energy of living beings, which is used by the demon cultivators to advance to the Grandmaster realm.
...until he finished speaking.
Nie Xu's face immediately turned furious: "Those demons from the Eternal Alliance are truly damned. They dare to use such underhanded tactics under my very nose. Those missing people, needless to say, must be the work of Wan Hu Lou."
If it weren't for the fact that Mount Wanhua was destroyed now, I would have led my troops tomorrow to ransack every corner of it.
He was really angry.
It turns out that under my own nose, the seemingly calm and peaceful city of Jin, was hiding such things.
After his anger subsided, Nie Xu looked at Zhong Chi's face, which wasn't looking too good either.

"Lord Zhong, were you already aware of the details of Wanhu Tower from the beginning!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When he spoke, he had already expressed his displeasure.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
What does this mean
You know about the Wanhu Tower incident very well, yet you didn't tell my office, leaving everyone in the dark.
I just thought of that.
Here is the translated text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Nie Xu was just a little exasperated.
Facing the question, Zhong Chi remained calm and composed, replying, “Nie sir, there’s no need to get angry. The Celestial Watch didn't dare be certain either. It was indeed the demons from the Eternal Life Alliance who were behind Wan Hua Lou.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
It's just that this time, Mr. Shen went deep into the Wanhu Tower and only happened to discover this problem.
Furthermore, it's best to keep the Eternal Alliance stronghold a secret. If word gets out, it will not only panic the populace but also alert the demons.
>
But I didn't expect Wanhu Tower to break the pot so quickly, leading to things getting out of control.
Regarding Zhongchi's explanation.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Nie Xu wasn't very satisfied. He let out a heavy grunt, but didn't ask any more questions.
Unlike Shen Changqing.
The other party is a demon hunter from the Demon Suppression Division, and their status is not low. He should be polite to them.
As for Zhong Chi's words, there was no such concern.
Although Tianchawei belongs to Zhenmosis, it is still a step behind compared to the Demon Slayer.
As a county magistrate, my status is not much lower than that of a heavenly inspector in charge of an entire region. Naturally, I don't need to be overly polite or respectful.
Just as the two were arguing.
The person sitting above then spoke, their voice radiating authority.
"My lords, there is no need to argue any further. It's done now, and talking more won't help. What we should do now is find a way to solve this."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Upon hearing this.
Zhong Chi nodded: "General Chu is right."
"Zhong Da Ren, Tian Cha Wei is the strongest intelligence agency in Zhen Mo Si. I wonder if up to now, there has been a clear understanding of the Eternal Alliance's specific actions and the motives behind them"
Chu Ding asked in a low voice.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Zhong Chi pondered for a moment and clasped his hands in response, "The Heavenly Watch is currently relaying the message back. It's believed that soon, Heavenly Watch units across the land will send some relevant information."
In my view, the incident in Jincheng may not be the only one.
"What do you mean by that"
Chu Ding raised an eyebrow, her eyes turning cold and stern.
His gaze was fixed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhou Chi suddenly felt some pressure, but he remained calm.
"The geographical location of Jincheng is not particularly important. If the Eternal Alliance only acted in Jincheng, they would be suppressed by the Demon Suppression Division before causing any significant commotion."
Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!
Moreover, outside Jin City, the Black Tiger Army is stationed, making it even less likely for the Eternal Life Alliance to stir up any trouble.
If they want to disrupt the situation in Jin City, the Everlasting Alliance definitely has other tricks up their sleeve. These tricks likely require cooperation from somewhere else.
But now information hasn't come in yet, and I can't make too many guesses.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
"Zhongda is right."
Chu nodded.
This is the time.
Nie Xu suddenly said: "You guys say, is there any possibility that the Eternal Alliance has something to do with the barbarians"
"Barbarians!"
Chu Ding and Zhong Chi both instinctively frowned.
Especially Chu Ding, he exuded a fierce aura, seemingly filled with extreme hatred towards the barbarians.
“As winter hasn't arrived yet, it shouldn't be related to the barbarians. Besides, there hasn't been any unusual activity among the troops stationed at the border of the wasteland.”
If it's barbarians attacking, the respective garrisons wouldn't remain completely motionless.
After the anger subsided, Chu Ding shook his head again, calmly.
>
Every year, barbarians would raid the Great Desolate Prefecture, aiming to extort enough supplies for winter.
>
Sometimes.
In order to obtain sufficient resources, barbarians might even venture deep into enemy territory alone.
However.
Every time they did this, the barbarians suffered heavy losses.
While some barbarians managed to loot resources and return home, many more perished on the Qin lands.
Speaking of losses.
It somewhat resembles the idiom "killing 800 enemies while losing 1,000 of your own."
Despite this, the barbarians never cease their incursions. Every year, at a certain time, they launch their attacks without fail.
But.
Most of the barbarian invasions happen near the end of fall. It’s not even autumn yet, and winter is still a long way off.
Nie Xu nodded and smiled casually: “This official is just making random guesses. After all, the location of Dahuangfu is rather awkward. The Eternal Life Alliance’s unprovoked chaos here makes this official think of the barbarians.”
At this point, his expression grew serious.
"Now, let's not talk about other matters. The Zhou family in Jin City was exterminated yesterday, and today there are demons from the Everlasting Alliance causing chaos. It is difficult for the government to maintain order within the city."
In order to prevent public panic and, at the same time, to avoid further harm from demons, I hope that General Chu will take action and send troops into the city to assist the government in stabilizing the situation.
>
That's all.
He stood up and bowed to Chu Ding.

Chu Ding pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
