Chapter 1424: Chapter 298: Divine Liquid

"How do I initiate the Supreme Competition?"

Seeing Qingyi speak gravely, Shen Changqing asked further.

"The Supreme Competition is no child’s play. To initiate it is quite simple: the Supreme needs only to defeat ten Proud Heaven from the Myriad Clans, then choose whether to coagulate the Proud Heaven Token. Upon coagulating the Proud Heaven Token, all Proud Heaven who you have defeated will have their fate seized by you.

The difference is that Proud Heaven without the Proud Heaven Token, if defeated by you, merely lose their fate. But if they possess the Proud Heaven Token, they will definitely suffer severe backlash.

Moreover, those with a Proud Heaven Token can sense the presence of other Proud Heaven within a certain range. Once all Proud Heaven have been suppressed completely, you can obtain the fate of all Proud Heaven and become the Supreme Proud Heaven."

Qingyi explained patiently.

After the explanation, Shen Changqing nodded, "I understand."

Defeating ten Proud Heaven, this difficulty is not too great.

Currently, calculating the Proud Heaven in his hands, there are perhaps two or three.

As long as he tries a bit harder, defeating ten Proud Heaven should not be a problem.

At the same time.

He had other thoughts.

"If I become Proud Heaven, my foundation within the Ziyun Clan is destined to grow significantly, which will benefit my future actions."

Shen Changqing’s eyes flickered.

Immediately.

He suppressed his distracting thoughts.

The matter of Proud Heaven can be set aside for now; it is more important to resolve the matter of the legacy trial first.

Looking once more at the ancient path before him, Shen Changqing understood: "So the stone man challenges on this ancient path correspond to geniuses and Proud Heaven level of the same Realm?"

"The Supreme is correct. The first stone man can only be considered as a genius of the same Realm, the second stone man is already no weaker than a Peerless Genius, and further on, it should reach the level of Proud Heaven.

The strong one who set up this trial likely intends to choose an heir with a strong foundation."

Qingyi nodded.

This approach was not unheard of in ancient times.

Regarding Realm, it is not important; given time, growth is certain, but only talent and foundation are primarily significant.

As for the minimum threshold set at the First Level of the God Realm, it’s likely because this is a Death Forbidden Zone, where those below the God Realm would not enter, thus the trial is set at minimum at the First Level of the God Realm.

Unfortunately.

The unknown powerful one calculating everything did not expect that those entering include not only those cultivating the Divine Path but also those cultivating the Immortal Dao.

After understanding the rules of the ancient path, Shen Changqing did not linger at the origin but instead directly ventured deeper.

After traversing a certain distance, another stone man emerged.

Looking at the stone man before him, equal to the First Level of the God Realm but possessing a stronger aura than the previous two stone men, he knew that this stone man had reached the level of Proud Heaven.

Proud Heaven.

Already capable of transcending great Realms.

Though the stone man before him had not reached the perfection of the God Realm, if its combat power genuinely matched Proud Heaven, the First Level of the God Realm would be sufficient to rival cultivators of the Fourth or Fifth Realm of the God Realm.

If other cultivators of the First Level of the God Realm faced such a stone man, it is highly unlikely they would be a match.

Unfortunately.

The stone man encountered a Supreme Proud Heaven capable of suppressing the Fourth Realm of the God King.

Before the opponent could make a move, Shen Changqing simply unleashed a punch, directly shattering the stone man comparable to an Ordinary Proud Heaven into wreckage.

"Perfect passage, rewarded with a drop of Divine Liquid!"

The message arrived, and where the stone man disappeared, a single drop of green liquid appeared.

"Divine Liquid: Can enhance cultivator’s potential!"

Though brief, the description encompassed enough content to cause Shen Changqing’s expression to change.

It can enhance a cultivator’s potential!

Potential is essentially the combination of talent and foundation; if it truly can enhance potential, the value of Divine Liquid is self-evident.

"Oh, I didn’t expect this place to actually contain Divine Liquid."

Qingyi’s surprised voice echoed.

Shen Changqing said, "Can this Divine Liquid really enhance a cultivator’s potential?"

"Divine Liquid is a Supreme Treasure nurtured by Heaven and Earth Creation, possessing the ability to seize the Creation of Heaven and Earth. A common cultivator consuming Divine Liquid can indeed enhance their potential, so in ancient times, whenever Divine Liquid emerged, it would attract all parties to vie for it.

A single drop of Divine Liquid, for instance, should be able to turn a genius into a Peerless Genius, but to transform a genius into Proud Heaven, it would require several times the amount of Divine Liquid."

"Divine Liquid is truly so powerful!"

Shen Changqing inhaled sharply.

A single drop of Divine Liquid could turn an Ordinary Genius into a Peerless Genius.

What is the concept of a Peerless Genius? Don’t underestimate these cultivators compared to Proud Heaven, as they are already incredibly formidable against other cultivators of the same Realm.

Moreover.

If the Divine Liquid amounts to several times more, it can directly birth a Proud Heaven.

And what about tens of times more, is there a possibility to directly create a Supreme Proud Heaven?

The potential of a cultivator is innate; altering it later is extremely difficult, and even if change occurs, it typically isn’t substantial; whereas Divine Liquid could undoubtedly be described as an entity that defies destiny.

Qingyi said, "Indeed, Divine Liquid is a Supreme Treasure that overturns the Universe Creation, but each drop nurtured requires opportunity. To become a Peerless Proud Heaven without hundreds of drops is impossible.

Yet a single drop of Divine Liquid is already hard to find, wanting hundreds is undoubtedly an implausible idea, and wishing to become Unparalleled Proud Heaven probably means scouring the Heavens still could not gather such a vast amount."

The more precious something is, the rarer it is.

Divine Liquid is such a thing.

During the Ancient Imperial Court times, the Divine Liquid in the hands of the Human Clan was exceedingly rare, hence truly collecting a large quantity of Divine Liquid is near impossible for any race.

Shen Changqing’s heart slightly settled.

Indeed, if Divine Liquid were truly easy to acquire, Proud Heaven would be everywhere in the Heavens.

At the same time.

He knew deeply how valuable the drop of Divine Liquid before him was.

But given his current situation, a single drop of Divine Liquid might not have a significant effect. It might be better to keep it for now and see if there’s a suitable candidate in the future before taking it out.

Although a drop of Divine Liquid is not enough to make a genius become a true Proud Heaven, if a top-notch genius emerges in the Human Clan, they might be able to take a crucial step forward with the help of the Divine Liquid.

That way, there could be one more Proud Heaven within the Human Clan.

Even the most ordinary Proud Heaven possesses immensely strong power, unmatched by ordinary cultivators.

Thinking of this.

Shen Changqing immediately put away the Divine Liquid and continued walking toward the end of the Ancient Path.

He was growing increasingly eager to know how many surprises awaited him beyond the Ancient Path.

The third trial had already given him the Divine Liquid, so was there a chance for him to obtain more of it?

If so.

Then entering here this time would have truly been a great gain.

...

"Bang!"

A violent force exploded, causing the Can Emperor’s body to tremble, forcing him to retreat.

After stabilizing himself, he looked at the Stone Man again, his eyes filled with shock.

Too strong!

This Half-Step Divine King Realm Stone Man was completely incomparable to the previous ones, even with the weakening effect of the Token, its displayed power was astonishing.

Since facing the second Stone Man, Can Emperor had anticipated possibly encountering such a scenario.

However, the Shanggong Clan had finally entered this Ancient Ruins, and he couldn’t return empty-handed, so he refused to give up easily.

"Could it be that I really have to stop here?"

Can Emperor’s heart was filled with unwillingness.

Even with the help of the Token, he had stopped at the fourth checkpoint. Without the Token, wouldn’t he have failed the third checkpoint?

To this.

How could he accept it?

However.

Feeling the aura emanating from the Stone Man before him, Can Emperor’s heart uncontrollably quivered.

Too strong!

Clearly at the Half-Step Divine King Realm, yet possessing power comparable to a true Divine King.

If not for the Token’s weakening, it is hard to imagine how powerful this Stone Man would become.

As he secretly marveled and considered a strategy, the Stone Man on the Ancient Path moved forward without pause, striding fiercely toward him.

The stone arm struck out, its terrible power causing the Ancient Path to tremble slightly.

That force.

Cast a shadow of death over Can Emperor.

"No... I must not retreat!"

Having come this far, retreating would mean all previous efforts were in vain.

Gritting his teeth.

All his Divine Power seemed to ignite completely, and a peak strength erupted from his flesh.

Then.

That peak force converged entirely in his right hand.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided, a storm of destruction surged mightily centered on them.

The powerful recoil came, Can Emperor clenched his teeth, not retreating even a step backward, instead forcing himself forward against the pressure, throwing another punch.

Before him.

The Stone Man, affected by the recoil, had cracked slightly, and before it could react, it was attacked once more.

"Bang!"

This punch shattered the Stone Man’s body.

"Die!"

With a fierce face, fists infused with endless Divine Power crashed forth, all his strength unleashed in this instant.

Boom!

Boom!!

The Stone Man had no chance to resist under the bombardment, when the final punch fell, its whole body exploded completely.

The Stone Man dissipated.

The corresponding reward emerged.

"Holy Spirit Liquid!"

Looking at the liquid before him, even though Can Emperor was gasping for breath, a brilliant smile appeared on his face.

According to the information received, Holy Spirit Liquid is a Supreme Treasure of recovery, perfectly suitable for his current exhausted state.

He swallowed the Holy Spirit Liquid.

A revival-like new force surged from within his flesh, and he felt all his exhaustion rapidly recovering. Within a few breaths, he had returned to his previous peak state.

"Such a Supreme Treasure, it’s a pity it’s only enough for one use. If there were more, it could equate to another life during critical times."

Can Emperor shook his head in regret, but didn’t linger there long, continuing deeper into the Ancient Path.

Not long after.

Space trembled, and another Stone Man appeared before him.

The desolate, ancient, vast aura spread out, causing the face of this Shanggong Clan Imperial Practitioner to change dramatically.
