Chapter 1350 - 224: Methods to Slay the Divine King

Chapter 1350: Chapter 224: Methods to Slay the Divine King

Thus.

As for the current strength of the Human Clan in the outside world, she also had no very good standard by which to judge it.

"However, there is one point that need not cause too much worry."

The Profound Yin Divine King’s expression smoothed out.

"In the span of several hundred years, even if the Human Clan of the outside world has gained heaven-defying opportunities, it is impossible for too many powerhouses to be born. With the strength of our Heavenly Dao Sect, suppressing them would be more than easy.

Now that we are imprisoned here, it will not be long before the Sect becomes aware.

At that time, the Human Clan outside will absolutely have no possibility of resistance."

"Let us hope so!"

Ji Ying let out a sigh.

He was not as optimistic as the Profound Yin Divine King.

After all, as long as a Divine King’s Divine Kingdom does not perish, they will not truly fall, but he himself was no Divine King.

Before the Heavenly Dao Sect arrived, if the Human Clan of the outside world were to kill him first, then even if the Heavenly Dao Sect suppressed them all, what could that change.

Dead.

Would be truly dead.

Moreover—

Ji Ying looked at the Profound Yin Divine King and had no choice but to give a reminder: "There is one matter that Your Majesty the Divine King must pay heed to. He would not imprison us here for no reason. I fear that before long, there will be someone coming to interrogate us.

On this point, this disciple believes it would be better for Your Majesty the Divine King to cooperate."

If one does not cooperate.

That is courting trouble oneself.

Hearing this.

The Profound Yin Divine King’s willow brows lightly knitted, and she said coolly, "Regarding this matter, I have my own measure."

——

Imperial Palace, within the great hall.

Everything proceeded along the original track, the morning court was convened as normal.

"If you have matters, present them; if you have none, court is dismissed."

Wu Gan pinched his sharp, thin voice into a high shout.

When his words fell.

Prime Minister Wen Qiu respectfully cupped his hands and slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, this minister has something to say."

"If Minister Wen has something to say, you may speak frankly."

Gu Xing’s expression softened, and he smiled faintly.

As for Wen Qiu, he still held him in very high regard.

The other had held the position of Prime Minister for a long time, silently propping up half the heavens of the former Great Qin. Many matters concerning the livelihood of the common folk had been handled by this man.

It was precisely so.

That the former Great Qin, after the demonic disaster was eliminated, was able to quickly stabilize, without being turbulent for too long.

Originally.

Given Wen Qiu’s age, he should long ago have reached the point of dying a natural death.

But later, Shen Changqing spread Martial Dao across the world, and the Martial Dao inheritance was perfected. Though this Minister Wen was a man of letters, he also had considerable talent in Martial Dao, and upon obtaining the inheritance, he directly advanced to the Great Grandmaster level, his lifespan thereby extended by a good deal.

As of now.

With the Ancestral Vein emerging, nature’s spiritual energy had revived greatly.

This man had, in one breath, risen from Great Grandmaster straight to the Heaven Being Level.

In this way.

The issue of lifespan, instead, was no longer an issue at all.

Wen Qiu said: "Your Majesty, the Western State Domain was originally the Great Zhou Domain. Later Emperor Zhou Mu Shentong lost all humanity, causing the Great Zhou Domain to become Guiyu, where living beings could barely survive.

Now that the Ancestral Vein has emerged and settled in the Western State Domain, all remaining Demon Evil power has long been cleared away. That so-called Guiyu has long since become fertile land. This minister believes that we ought to arrange for a number of commoners to go there, lest such a resource be wasted in vain."

"What Minister Wen has said is exactly in accord with what I have in mind."

Gu Xing nodded.

The Western State Domain was rich in spiritual energy; compared to the former Guiyu where life had vanished, it was completely like heaven and earth.

In terms of the richness of spiritual energy.

It could fully rival the current Zhongzhou Continent.

One must know.

The reason the Zhongzhou Continent now possessed such a concentration of spiritual energy was entirely because Shen Changqing buried many Hearts of Spirit Vein there.

In contrast.

The abundant spiritual energy in the Western State Domain was, to a very large degree, due to the Ancestral Vein itself.

The so-called Ancestral Vein.

Is the foremost among the Heaven and Earth Spirit Veins.

Wherever the Ancestral Vein sits in town, there is naturally little need to speak of the spiritual energy.

If not for the fact that the Zhongzhou Continent was originally Great Qin’s domain, Gu Xing would already have entertained the notion of moving the Capital City to the Western State Domain.

Thus.

Even if Wen Qiu had not spoken, he already had the intention to arrange for some of the common folk to go there.

But now that the other had spoken up, Gu Xing happened to hand this matter over to him to handle.

"Since Minister Wen has the heart for it, I will entrust this matter to Minister Wen to manage. In addition, regarding affairs of the Western State Domain, Minister Wen may also confer with the Bai Emperor."

"This minister accepts the decree!"

Wen Qiu bowed with hands clasped, his aged face solemn.

Afterwards.

Other officials also reported various matters, and Gu Xing dealt with them one by one.

Now, each great domain already had a designated ruler. Any issues that arose were gradually handed over to the various domains to resolve, then transmitted to Zhongzhou, where he would make the final decisions.

This approach saved a great deal of time.

Otherwise.

With the strength of one man, wanting to govern the affairs of the five great domains would not be so easy.

...

The morning court dispersed.

Shen Changqing, who had remained silently all this time, finally spoke: "Yesterday, a powerhouse from the Central Profound Realm appeared in the Dongzhou Main Domain. I have already suppressed him and temporarily confined him in the Heavenly Prison.

Now that Ji Ying has been imprisoned, this matter has already drawn the attention of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

I believe it won’t be long before even stronger figures emerge from within the Heavenly Dao Sect. Emperor Xing must make his decision early."

Heavenly Dao Sect!

Hearing this name, Gu Xing’s brows imperceptibly furrowed.

"What level has Defender Shen’s current strength reached?"

His burning gaze fell upon the other.

Shen Changqing’s strength had always been a mystery.

This one’s power was like a bottomless abyss—no matter what kind of powerhouse appeared, he could directly suppress them.

For example, that powerhouse currently imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison—Gu Xing had some understanding; he was a being of the Second Realm of God King.

Shen Changqing said, "My current strength is probably equivalent to the Fourth Realm of God King!"

At the end.

He added another sentence.

"Within the Fourth Realm of God King, there should be very few who can be my match."

"Fourth Realm of God King!"

Gu Xing’s heart trembled, then his expression quickly relaxed: "It is said that the strongest in the Central Profound Realm are existences of the Fourth Realm of God King. Defender Shen now serves as Defender of the Human Clan, enjoying half of the Human Clan’s fortune.

I imagine that on our home ground, resisting the Central Profound Realm should not be a problem?"

"If the Central Profound Realm only has powerhouses of the Fourth Realm of God King, then I don’t see any problem."

Shen Changqing smiled with confidence.

Then, the smile on his face faded somewhat: "But there is one thing Emperor Xing must be clear on: the foundations of the Central Profound Realm are anything but ordinary. If they truly have methods that surpass the Divine King, that would be a colossal trouble."

"However..."

"We now have no path of retreat. We can only respond to moves as they come. Next, I will put my full effort into handling the matter of the Central Profound Realm and will not involve myself too much in other affairs."

What Shen Changqing referred to were the court assemblies and some internal affairs of the Imperial Court.

To this.

Gu Xing also nodded: "Very well."

——

Leaving the Imperial Palace.

Shen Changqing went straight back to the Demon-Subduing Division.

Now, the Capital Demon Suppression Division was already under the command and stewardship of Zhou Yuanzheng, while as for Dongfang Zhao, he had led a group of people to the Western State Domain.

The other party was, after all, the Bai Emperor.

Sitting in town over the Western State Domain was his rightful duty.

After that.

He immediately went to find Qingyi.

"Does Supreme have some matter for this old man?"

Qingyi’s expression was somewhat bewildered.

He had been handling affairs over at the Demon Sealing Hall when he was suddenly summoned.

Shen Changqing wasted no words and spoke directly: "There is something I want to ask you."

"Uh... Please speak, Supreme."

"If I want to truly slay a Divine King, is there any corresponding method?"

"Truly slay a Divine King?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyi’s expression immediately turned strange.

He had thought it was some earth-shattering matter; turns out it was merely this.

However.

Qingyi did not comment and instead gave his answer: "The Myriad Clans Divine Path emphasizes that if the Divine Kingdom does not perish, the Divine King does not die, and the Divine Kingdom is entrusted within the Endless Void. That place is something that exists between reality and illusion.

To enter it, brute force alone is not enough; one must rely on specific methods.

There are truly two methods. The first is to use faith as a bridge, directly opening a spatial passage into the Endless Void. To achieve this, one must possess Power of Faith at the Divine King Level.

The second method is to borrow the Power of Rule and transform it into a bridge, entering the Endless Void."

"Power of Rule!"

Shen Changqing’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He currently could not touch the Power of Rule; he had only reached the level of Laws.

It was evident that transforming Laws into Rules was extremely difficult.

Qingyi laughed: "So-called Power of Rule does not necessarily require truly comprehending Rules themselves. For someone like Supreme, it is enough to condense a hundred Laws. By borrowing the power of Laws, one can likewise transform it into a bridge to enter the Endless Void.

Of course, when this old man speaks of a hundred Laws, I refer only to entry-level Laws. If one among them has been comprehended to a profound realm, then the required number of Laws will correspondingly decrease."

So that’s how it is!

After hearing this, Shen Changqing’s face finally showed a look of relief.

Though condensing a hundred Laws was likewise difficult, it was still much easier than comprehending the Power of Rule.

Moreover.

From the other party’s words, if one Law was comprehended to a profound realm, then the difficulty of condensing the bridge would drop greatly.

"Does Senior have a method for using Laws to condense a bridge?"

"That I do have, but Supreme must allow this old man to think for a bit."

Qingyi nodded slightly, then sank into contemplation.

The memories sealed in his mind were truly too many; to search for the one he wanted was not an easy matter.

Seeing this.

Shen Changqing did not disturb him and let the other think.

Although after learning that Laws could condense a bridge, he believed that given enough time, he could personally truly comprehend the method.

But right now, what he truly lacked was time.

If he could not truly kill a Divine King, then starting a war with the Central Profound Realm would indeed be futile.

Therefore, the method to slay a Divine King must be obtained as quickly as possible.

Half a two-hour period.

"Found it!"

Qingyi awoke from his contemplative state; he had already found, within the vast sea of sealed memories, the method concerning using Laws to condense a bridge to enter the Endless Void.
