Chapter 2189: Cave Heaven Expands Again
Time passes quickly.
One month later.
Shen Changqing ended his sermon.
It was seen that Zhuang Daozi and the other nine people were immersed in the comprehension of the great Dao and had not yet awakened.
See here.
Shen Changqing didn’t disturb them either.
During the month of preaching, he was also sorting out some of his insights into the Dao of Talismans over the years. He had already vaguely touched the threshold of becoming a top third-rank master of the Dao of Talismans.
Such a level of understanding, to the ears of Zhuang Daozi and others, was naturally like a heavenly tonic.
but.
The art of talismans is mysterious.
How much insight the nine people absorb depends on their respective talents and opportunities.
A few days later.
Zhuang Daozi was the first to wake up.
When he saw Shen Changqing disappear from his sight, he bowed to the empty seat from a distance, then turned around and left in a hurry.
After listening to the lectures on the Great Dao for a month and comprehending the Great Dao for a long time, Zhuang Daozi has become clear about the road ahead. What he needs to do now is to grasp this understanding and draw a second-level middle-grade grandmaster talisman to break through the shackles of the existing realm.
Then.
The other monks also woke up one after another.
Two days later.
A hearty laugh came from the Hongshan Chamber of Commerce.
“Haha, I finally made a breakthrough!”
Zhuang Daozi was delighted. In front of him was a second-grade, mid-quality grandmaster talisman. Although it was of the worst ordinary quality, it was still a genuine second-grade, mid-quality grandmaster talisman.
The talisman is completed.
It means that he has entered the ranks of the second-level intermediate masters.
For the Grand Master of Talismans, a breakthrough in a small realm can be regarded as a qualitative transformation.
…
“Not bad, not as useless as I thought!”
When Zhuang Daozi made a breakthrough, Shen Changqing was the first to discover that the emergence of a second-level mid-grade talisman master was a significant change for the Hongshan Chamber of Commerce.
After all, all the talismans sold by the Hongshan Chamber of Commerce over the years were produced by nine people.
Their rank as a master of talismans represents the quality and grade of the talismans.
Without the top-notch talismans to sell, the Hongshan Chamber of Commerce would naturally be a little worse off, but with the support of Hongshan City, no problems arose.
Zhuang Daozi’s breakthrough is just the beginning. Among the remaining masters of talismans, some should also be able to break through.
Next.
Their breakthrough.
This will allow Hongshan Chamber of Commerce to produce higher-grade talismans, thereby driving corresponding sales.
If Hongshan Chamber of Commerce does a good job, Shen Changqing will get the most direct benefits.
Not long ago.
Duan Jing had already handed over all the profits of Hongshan City over the years to him.
All of these Netherworld Spirit Stones added together are roughly equivalent to 150,000 top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones.
On average.
This is equivalent to earning 30,000 top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones in a hundred years.
When Duan Jing was running the Hongling Market, in more than a hundred years, he was able to earn about 60,000 top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones, which seemed to be a lot more than the current income of Hongshan City.
But there is one thing that needs to be made clear.
There were only a few cultivators in the Hongling Market in the past. At most, the law enforcement team had more than a hundred cultivators. Now, the cultivator power controlled by Hongshan City is ten thousand times that of the original Hongling Market.
After deducting the daily expenses and maintenance of these monks, they can still earn a stable income of 30,000 top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones every year. Such a profit is amazing.
After all, Hongshan City has become so big now. If it does not have the corresponding power to deter all parties, it is obviously impossible for it to remain stable until now.
Expand scale.
That is inevitable.
But as long as there is positive profit, Hongshan City will continue to provide Shen Changqing with Netherworld Spirit Stones.
Of course.
Such benefits are not static.
If other problems arise in Hongshan City in the future, the Netherworld Spirit Stone will still be needed to fill the gaps.
But no matter what, Shen Changqing was very satisfied that he could get 150,000 top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones in 500 years.
at the same time.
Such astonishing profits of Hongshan City are bound to make other cultivators jealous.
“From what Duan Jing said, there are many forces secretly eyeing Hongshan City. They probably want to intervene and get a piece of the pie. It would be fine if you don’t take action, but if you really want to snatch the food from the tiger’s mouth, you are making a big mistake!”
Shen Changqing murmured to himself, with a cold light flashing in his calm eyes.
He keeps a low profile.
It doesn’t mean you can be manipulated by others.
If anyone dares to extend his hand to Hongshan City, Shen Changqing will make him pay the price.
Then.
Shen Changqing went into seclusion again.
However, this time, his retreat was not long. The reason for his retreat was just to refine all the Netherworld Spirit Stones he had obtained over the years.
In the void of the secret room.
A large amount of Netherworld Spirit Stones had their power extracted, and the black torrent flooded over Shen Changqing himself. If it were an ordinary cultivator, with such terrifying spiritual power, his soul would have been blown up and he would have been annihilated on the spot.
but.
However, Shen Changqing can absorb these powers perfectly.
Behind him, he saw the shadow of the great Dao Jianmu rising up into the sky, with dense branches and leaves hanging down like a canopy. The rhythm of the great Dao emanated from it, filling the entire empty secret room.
In the cave, one can see numerous black torrents merging into the Great Dao Jianmu. The overwhelming force causes the Great Dao Jianmu to tremble violently, and it is actually growing at a speed visible to the n*ked eye.
The sky becomes higher
and the earth becomes wider!
All of this is not an illusion, but something that really happened.
In Shen Changqing’s spiritual perception, the Great Dao Jianmu absorbed the power of the Netherworld Spirit Stone. Its originally slow growth suddenly accelerated a lot, causing the cave heaven to continuously expand outward.
As the cave expanded, Shen Changqing could clearly feel a vague pressure coming from his body.
This pressure.
It comes from Dongtian.
Why does the cave heaven have a limit? Generally speaking, the so-called limit is the limit of the physical body. When the cultivator’s physical body reaches its limit, if he still wants to continue to expand the cave heaven, then what awaits him is the collapse of his physical body and his death.
This is the limit of the physical body.
at the same time.
If the cultivator’s physique is strong and can bear the power of the cave heaven, then when the cave heaven expands to a certain extent, there will still be a limit.
This limit.
It is the limit of the cave.
Not to mention how difficult it is to break the limit by force, if it is really done, what awaits the cultivator will be the collapse of the cave.
Not all limits can be surpassed, and not all limits surpassed are a good thing.
Everything has its limits.
Just over easy to break.
That’s the truth.
Now Shen Changqing’s cave heaven has grown to a terrifying state. If it were an ordinary Taoist fruit, he would have been unable to withstand this power and his body would have collapsed and died.
But such pressure did not have much impact on Shen Changqing.
When he broke through the tenth level of Dao Fruit, Shen Changqing’s physical realm had already entered the tenth level of Divine Lord. Now, after hundreds of years of seclusion, he has made further progress in his physical body.
Now.
Although Shen Changqing’s physical body did not break through the limit of the God Lord and reach the realm of the God Emperor, he had already stepped half a foot into the realm of the God Emperor.
This realm.
Shen Changqing regarded him as a half-step Divine Emperor.
It is much more powerful than a normal Divine Lord, and even more powerful than the physical body of a peak Divine Lord, so he regards it as a Half-Step Divine Emperor.
That is to say.
Even if Shen Changqing does not use any treasures or immortal power, he can defeat all cultivators below the level of Divine Emperor with just his physical body that is half a step away from being Divine Emperor.
Same.
No cultivator below the level of Divine Emperor could break Shen Changqing’s defense.
The body of a Half-Step Divine Emperor is inherently invincible. Without sufficient strength, not only killing him, even breaking his defense would be a luxury.
The premise is.
The other party did not have a treasure of half-step immortality or above in his hand, otherwise Shen Changqing’s current body would not be able to withstand it.
The physical body of a Half-Step God Emperor is, after all, just a Half-Step God Emperor. Without a true breakthrough to the God Emperor realm, it naturally cannot be compared with the Half-Step Immortal Treasure.
It is not easy to temper the body.
Especially since Shen Changqing is now stuck at the level of Dao Fruit Perfection, if he wants his physical body to break through the limits of the Divine Lord first and then be promoted to the Divine Emperor realm, it is much more difficult than breaking through to the great power himself and then promoting his physical body to the Divine Emperor realm.
but.
Shen Changqing was not in a hurry either.
After all, the physical body of a Half-Step Divine Emperor is already strong enough to support the current cave heaven.
No.
It should be said that it is more than enough.
I saw that the Great Dao Jianmu continued to grow, and the 150,000 top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones all turned into nutrients and were refined and absorbed by the Great Dao Jianmu.
for a long time.
When the power of the last Netherworld Spirit Stone was exhausted and shattered, the growth of the Great Dao Jianmu finally stopped.
“Fifty-one trillion miles!”
“Compared to before the retreat, it has expanded by almost one trillion miles!”
Shen Changqing used his spiritual sense to quickly figure out the situation in the entire cave.
This expansion may not seem large, but there is one thing that needs to be made clear.
The limit of the perfection of ordinary Tao fruits is only one trillion miles in radius. Only the geniuses can possess a more vast cave heaven.
One of Shen Changqing’s retreats is equivalent to the end of the road for an ordinary Dao fruit. From this perspective, the expansion rate is extremely astonishing.
at the same time.
He also felt that his own strength was stronger than before as the cave expanded.
Not much changes.
But becoming powerful is real.
“It has not really reached its limit yet. The cave can still expand, but it requires more Netherworld Spirit Stones!”
Shen Changqing pondered.
Fifteen thousand top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones only expanded the cave heaven by about one trillion miles. As the cave heaven became larger, the consumption required for subsequent expansion also continued to increase.
If one really wants to push oneself to the limit of Dao Fruit, the required Netherworld Spirit Stones are already an astronomical number.
But Shen Changqing had no intention of giving up.
It’s just a spirit stone from the underworld.
If Hongshan City collects too quickly, then start with other forces. An ancient holy land can have hundreds of thousands of top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones, plus many resource inheritances, so even if other forces are a little worse off, they will definitely not be much worse.
Just doing this will definitely cause quite a stir.
But when it comes to his own breakthrough, Shen Changqing won’t care about so many things.
