ly sever ties with the Qin State.But——Thinking of Shen Changqing's existence, Liang Huang ultimately did not make such a decision.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!He c...The Imperial Clan is destroyed!
In just a few days, the news of the annihilation of Xuanming Sect arrived again. Before other cultivators could digest this news, the news of the Lingyan Sect's destruction followed close behind.
Thus ends the matter.
The entire ancient wilderness trembled.
Hongshan City!
The lord of Hongshan!
This force and the name Shen Changqing, have spread throughout the ancient wilderness.
The seal of a Fourth Rank Daoist Master was already stamped onto Shen Changqing's identity.
In the Palace Family War, Shen Changqing used his Dao of Talismans to kill Palace Saint Orchid and destroy the Palace Family. All cultivators witnessed it with their own eyes.
Without the methods of a fourth-rank talisman master, how could one destroy an ancient aristocratic family.
That's not all.
Both Xuanming and Lingyan Sects possessed top-tier protective formations, yet the Gong family's siege for several years failed to break through. In the end, they couldn't withstand the advance of Red Mountain City.
To break such a top-tier formation, only a fourth-order breaking formation talisman can do it.
So.
>
Shen Changqing being a Fourth-Rank Fu Dao Grandmaster is practically a certainty.
When the message spreads.
Everyone understands.
The ancient wasteland's sky.
It's totally changed.
"With the destruction of the two major sects and the palaces, Guhuang is now a place with no power daring to challenge Hongshan City!"
“Who would have thought that a city from the Red Mountain era could make it to today”
"The real powerhouse of Hongshan City isn't any other cultivator, but the city lord himself. Hmph, a fourth-rank Fu Dao Grandmaster. Even across the entire Nine States and Eight Desolates, there can't be many like him!"
>
Many cultivator factions were secretly startled, and simultaneously labeled Red Mountain City as untouchable.
At the same time.
They also ordered the disciples of their sects and younger generations of their families not to offend the cultivators of Hongshan City at will. If they really offended them, then they could only hand them over in exchange for peace.
There's no way.
>
This is a world where strength is paramount.
The Red Mountain City's annihilation of three major ancient powers speaks volumes about its true strength.
They wouldn't dare challenge Hongshan City unless they were completely full.
After all.
The downfall of the imperial family is still vivid in my memory.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However.
There are also many forces worried that after Red Mountain City destroys the three ancient powers, it will go even further and directly sweep across the entire Ancient Desolation.
If the other party dares to encroach upon the entire ancient wasteland, it will be a nightmare for them.
However.
Here is the translation of your request:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
While other forces were secretly anxious, Hongshan City was much calmer. It did not continue to mobilize its troops as they had expected.
Thus, the scene was set.
This did make those forces secretly let out a sigh of relief.
The Xuanming Sect's headquarters.
Now, many cultivators from Hongshan City guard this place.
Shen Changqing stood aloft, his divine sense radiating outwards, encompassing the entire territory of Xuanming Sect within his sight.
Below.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
With the powerful figures of Hongshan City, led by Duan Jingzong Xiang, all looked up at the majestic figure. Their eyes held both anticipation and awe.
Time flows slowly.
Suddenly.
A terrifying aura rose from Shen Changqing's body, instantly sweeping across the heavens and earth. At the same time, a solemn voice echoed throughout the four directions.
"This is Hongshan, establishing the Qingzong here today. Those who are destined may join the sect!"
He spoke.
Shen Changqing waved his hand, and a force struck the ground below. Immediately, a stone stele bearing the words "Qingzong" appeared, deeply engraved with endless mystery.
Next.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing pressed down with five fingers again, and a mountain was flattened by an invisible force. Then, he used his five fingers to grasp the void, and rocks suddenly rose from the ground.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It was just a moment.
A majestic city has already appeared here.
“This is Qingcheng!”
Shen Changqing said calmly.
This is where Red Mountain City will stand in the future.
However.
With the emergence of Qingcheng, Hongshan City inevitably became a relic of the past.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Then.
Shen Changqing looked down at the crowd of Red Mountain Army cultivators and said again, "You are now integrated into the Qingzong. Ordinary soldiers will be outer disciples, officers above centurions can be promoted to inner disciples, and the remaining commanders will all be deacons."
“We await the Grandmaster’s audience!”
A group of monks, led by a leader who appeared to be the head monk, bowed deeply to Shen Changqing. Their voices resonated with power and reverence.
As all the disciples bowed down, a deafening roar echoed through heaven and earth. In the ethereal realm, a mysterious force seemed to surge forth, enveloping every cultivator of the Qingzong sect. They felt an extraordinary shift within them.
>
"Sects' Qi Luck!"
>
Many discerning monks understood the source of this change.
This is another reason why many cultivators want to join a sect.
Good vibes!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although fortune may seem intangible and elusive, it truly exists.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Joining a large sect allows you to be protected by the powerful sect's Qi Luck, making your future cultivation and endeavors much easier.
And at times, it can even turn danger into safety.
It's not easy to gather the Qi of a sect. Only by establishing a family, creating a sect's sacred land, or even founding an imperial dynasty can one gather the Qi of a region.
And.
Qiyun is considered a good thing for ordinary cultivators.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But for the master of a faction, Qiyun is like a double-edged sword. When Qiyun is at its peak, the master of the faction naturally benefits. But when Qiyun declines, the master of the faction also has to bear the corresponding price.
Therefore.
Many cultivators have the ability to establish a sect, but they lack the confidence to expand it.
If a sect cannot grow strong, then establishing it is pointless.
...At this moment.
Shen Changqing also looked at Qingzong.
Naturally, the art of viewing qi from birth is activated.
Immediately.
The entire Qingzong's Qi was within his line of sight.
Only the imposing aura surged, causing Shen Changqing's appearance to shift and change, sometimes transforming into otherworldly wonders of heaven and earth.
At the same time.
If you look closely.
If you look closely, you'll find that the sect's qi is slowly dissipating. However, this dissipation is very gradual, so you wouldn't notice it unless you paid close attention.
At the same time.
More spiritual energy is converging from the unseen, continuously bolstering the sect's fortune.
Shen Changqing understood.
This is because the Qingzong sect was just established, and many cultivators joined the Qingzong sect, making the sect temporarily prosperous. Therefore, there was a constant influx of spiritual energy converging.
When these air currents reach a certain critical point, they will no longer be able to increase.
Conversely.
As time goes by.
The sect's aura gradually wanes.
>
Unless there are significant changes and further replenishment of the sect's Qi, one day the sect's Qi will be completely depleted.
Once the sect's qiyun is completely depleted, Shen Changqing, as the master of the sect, will also be affected.
That's why.
Any power needs a treasure that can suppress bad luck to exist.
Shen Changqing glanced at the many treasures in his hand and quickly decided to suppress the Qi Yun of the Qingzong with the Blood Banner.
Although the Blood Banner isn't a top-tier treasure, nor is it primarily used to suppress Qi Luck, it is still a 12th rank treasure, possessing considerable power. Using it temporarily to suppress the Qingzong Qi Luck is also feasible.
In fact.
In Shen Changqing's hands, there were more treasures that could suppress luck, namely the Nine Tripods for Offering to Heaven.
However.
The Nine Cauldrons for Offering to Heaven have already been used by Shen Changqing to suppress the Qi of Tianzong and the human race. They naturally couldn't be used here.
After all, the Imperial Court suppresses the human race, so the Qi Luck of the human race is the Qi Luck of the Imperial Court. As Shen Changqing enjoys half of the Imperial Court's Qi Luck and is the Guardian General of the human race, the Heavenly Sect he founded is also closely related to the human race.
To put it simply, our fates are intertwined.
In such a situation, Shen Changqing's suppression of the Tianzong's Qiyun with nine cauldrons for sacrificing to heaven was equivalent to suppressing the Qiyun of the human race.
Therefore.
The nine cauldrons used for sacrificial rites to heaven are absolutely not to be moved.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Therefore.
The energy of the Azure Sect is surging.
Only a blood banner can suppress it.
Even though Shen Changqing still had other treasures in his possession, there was no need to reveal them at this time.
As Shen Changqing's thoughts fell, the surging energy was dyed a faint blood color. The energy condensed into his current form, expressionless, holding a bloody small banner standing proudly in the sky.
Thus far.
The Qi of the Azure Sect has finally stabilized.
If one observes carefully, one can still detect that the Qingzong's qiyun is slowly waning, but compared to its previous rate of decline, it has slowed down by a hundredfold or more.
After all, the Blood Banner is extraordinary. Even though this treasure isn't primarily used to suppress Qi Luck, suppressing the Qi Luck of a mere sect would be no problem at all.
As for Shen Changqing, he didn't pay much attention to it.
After all.
The Underworld is not its own foundation, Qingzong established it simply to make it easier for himself to gather resources and cultivate.
His foundation.
It has always been among the heavens.
That's it.
Shen Changqing had never forgotten.
With Qingzong's establishment.
This news once again caused a stir in the already turbulent ancient wasteland.
It's normal for cultivators to establish their own sects, but the Qingzong is different.
The predecessor of Qingzong was Hongshan City.
Now that the Qingzong sect has been established, it signifies that Hongshan City has completely shed its identity as a loose cultivator stronghold and become a top-tier sect in the ancient wasteland. With powerful figures like Shen Changqing overseeing the sect, coupled with the accumulated resources of several ancient powers, the strength of the Qingzong is self-evident.
Therefore.
After the news of Qingzong spread, many casual cultivators came to join it. They wanted to take advantage of Qingzong's newly established status and lack of manpower to enter the sect directly, enjoying the sect's qi and resources.
When they arrived, however, they discovered that the number of Qingzong disciples was vast. The million Red Mountain soldiers had all transformed into Qingzong disciples, completely foiling the plans of these wandering cultivators.
However.
Even so.
These cultivators did not give up, but instead stayed in Qingcheng, waiting for the opening of the mountain gate by the Qingzong sect to recruit disciples.
Without keeping these cultivators waiting for too long, just a month later, news came from the Qingzong sect that they were opening their mountain gates to recruit disciples. Regardless of background or lineage, as long as one had talent and destiny, they could be admitted into the sect.
This news came out.
...Another wave of chaos surged through the ancient wasteland.
Everyone knows that the Qingzong is considered the first major sect in Guhuang today. So when news came out that Qingzong was recruiting disciples, many cultivators couldn't contain their excitement, including some descendants of ancient families, who were all moved by it.
After all, once one enters the Qingzong sect, it is equivalent to relying on this towering tree of the Qingzong sect. The benefits it brings are unimaginable. Who could resist such temptationd, the supreme sword intent contained within the ultimate Dao origin had already left a certain imprint on Chen Changqing's mind.>Once he fully digests these sword intents, he will have a chance to ad...
