Human Clan Defender-Chapter 606 - s 5 to 8: Blade Path Powerhouse, Myriad Tribulations True Body (4-in-1, Seeking Monthly Pass)_4

He bowed deeply.

"Now that the matter here is settled, I shall not disturb Lord Shen any longer. I will take my leave."

"Eunuch, take care."

Watching Wu Gan leave, the smile on Shen Changqing's face faded slightly.

The commotion from the golden light had alarmed both the Demon-Subduing Division and the Imperial Family.

This allowed some of my plans to be smoothly implemented. From the current perspective, this is indeed a good thing. However, I am also very clear on one point: A powerhouse capable of attacking from such a distance has done it once and could do it again. If I don't increase my strength, I might fall at their hands one day.

Shen Changqing greatly valued his life.

I don't want to be helpless if such a powerhouse arrives one day. At that time, not only would I perish, but the entire Human Clan might be completely annihilated. Whether for the Human Clan or for myself, there is no retreat. Improving my strength... is imperative.

After a deep look at the firmament, he turned and went straight back to his room.

If not for the golden light's disturbance, I would have almost deduced the martial art I needed. Now, I can only hurry and focus all my efforts on successfully deducing the required martial art.

Five days passed.

Shen Changqing spent these five days in his room deducing the martial art. During this time, Wu Gan visited once, bringing the Holy Medicines Shen Changqing needed.

There were not many Holy Medicines, only two.

Before his breakthrough, one Holy Medicine could restore about 40% of his expended energy. Now that he had broken through, one Holy Medicine only restored about 20%, so two restored 40%. Although not much, it would still save him considerable effort.

After receiving the necessary replenishment, Shen Changqing devoted himself wholeheartedly to deducing the martial art.

Another seven days passed.

His body, which had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly trembled. His tightly closed eyes snapped open, violet lightning flashing within them, evoking the sound of wind and thunder.

Gradually, the commotion subsided, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Success!"

All in all, it took nearly three months to successfully deduce the martial art I needed.

Only Shen Changqing himself truly understood the difficulty involved.

Even with my Immortal Golden Body Realm's mental fortitude, it took so long to succeed. If it were an ordinary Great Grandmaster, they wouldn't stand a chance of success without ten or twenty years.

He calmed his mind.

Name: Shen Changqing

Faction: Great Qin's Demon Suppression Division

Identity: Great Qin Defender

Realm: Immortal Golden Body

Flesh: Divine Heaven Golden Body (Tier 10, can be merged), Tribulation Thunder True Body (Uninitiated, can be merged)

Dharma: Banishing Evil Silent Obliteration Finger (Second Level), Dusk Cangwu (First Level), Heaven and Earth Slash (First Level)

Martial Arts:

Killing: 18,161 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Divine Skills: 76

Seeing the words "can be merged," Shen Changqing felt greatly assured.

Tribulation Thunder True Body... This is the martial art I derived by borrowing some aspects of the Divine Heaven Golden Body and combining them with my current understanding of martial arts after countless deductions. This martial art, in its characteristics, bears a striking resemblance to the Divine Heaven Golden Body.

Initially, Shen Changqing had not been certain about the specific tier of the Tribulation Thunder True Body, or whether it could merge with the Divine Heaven Golden Body. Now, after seeing the panel, he was completely certain.

However, he did not opt to merge them right away.

The last time the Divine Heaven Golden Body merged, heavenly thunder descended. This time, the phenomenon will surely be even more grandiose. This is the Capital City, where multitudes of people congregate. If terrifying heavenly thunder were to fall, the impact would extend far beyond just the Demon-Subduing Division. Worse still, it could result in many deaths.

Therefore, considering this, Shen Changqing dared not attempt the fusion within the Demon-Subduing Division.

He pushed open the door. After glancing at the sky, he left the Demon-Subduing Division and headed straight out.

「Imperial Palace.」

Announced and led by the eunuch, Shen Changqing entered for the first time.

He felt a slight curiosity about the Imperial Palace.

Although I've been in the Capital City for about two years now, all told, I've never once stepped foot inside the Imperial Palace in all that time.

Wu Gan, leading the way with a constant smile, asked, "Lord Shen, how does the scenery within the Imperial Palace compare to that of the Demon-Subduing Division, in your esteemed opinion?"

Hearing this, Shen Changqing replied with a faint smile, "The Imperial Palace is naturally beyond comparison with the Demon-Subduing Division."

Speaking of which, the biggest difference is its vastness; the Imperial Palace is several times the size of the Demon-Subduing Division. In other aspects, they are more or less the same. Furthermore, in terms of powerhouses, the Demon-Subduing Division has many more than the Imperial Palace. As for security, the Demon-Subduing Division is clearly superior.

The two chatted intermittently, eventually arriving at a small pavilion in a rear garden. There, a man in imperial robes stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the fish swimming in the pond before him.

"Your Majesty, Lord Shen has arrived," Wu Gan said in a low voice.

As Wu Gan finished speaking, Gu Xing turned around, a warm smile on his face, "Lord Shen, since you are here, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Changqing gave a slight bow with clasped hands and, without any undue ceremony, found a seat.

Then, Gu Xing looked at Wu Gan and said, "You may withdraw."

"Yes!"

Wu Gan said nothing more, bowed, and withdrew.

As Wu Gan departed, Gu Xing sat down opposite Shen Changqing, his face alight with a notably warm smile.

"Lord Shen, what brings you here today? Could it be that you have some matter to discuss?"
