Chapter 2348 Retreat
Vast mountains.

There is a cave inside.

In a hidden void invisible to the naked eye, there is an entrance to a small world.

This small world.

It was developed by Shen Changqing himself.

Not only is the entrance to this small world hidden, but he has also set up layers of formations and restrictions. Even if the Divine Emperor is present, it would be difficult for him to find out that something is wrong here unless he pays close attention.

In a small world.

Shen Changqing sat cross-legged, and endless spiritual energy from heaven and earth and the underworld flowed into him from the void outside and then fell on his body.

Time passed little by little.

Spring and Autumn change.

The sun and the moon alternate.

The situation in the small world is constantly changing, but Shen Changqing always sits still like a rock, and no matter how strong the wind and rain are, he cannot be shaken at all.

In the blink of an eye.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Changqing's body, which had been sitting there for a long time, trembled slightly, and his tightly closed eyes opened.

"call!"

He let out a long breath of foul air, which instantly turned into a raging gale. The entire world, big and small, was shaking slightly, as if it could not withstand such a force.

But it is because of the existence of many formations and restrictions that this small world has not truly collapsed.

"Finally recovered!"

Shen Changqing had a cold expression. Thinking of what happened in Qingyun Province, murderous intent emerged in the depths of his eyes.

This was the biggest setback he had suffered since entering the Netherworld.

After all.

Things have been going too smoothly in recent years, and I've become a little complacent.

If it weren't for the sword intent left by Emperor Qinglian, Shen Changqing believed that he would have died at the hands of the God of Samsara.

That person's strength made Shen Changqing deeply understand how big the gap between himself and the top gods is.

The so-called first-grade half-step immortal combat power, coupled with the immortal divine weapon and the power of forbidden magic, were not able to truly shake the God of Reincarnation.

The trump card that one is so proud of appears weak in front of the other party.

at this point.

There is a huge difference between them and the immortal creatures in the Forbidden Zone of Life.

visible.

The power of the God of Samsara is much stronger than the immortal creatures in the Forbidden Zone of Life. The two are not even on the same level.

Both are immortal gods.

There is still a gap between them.

Think of this.

Shen Changqing couldn't help but focus on the Immortal Saint Soldiers, and asked in a deep voice: "What realm was Emperor Qinglian in at the time? If he was also a top immortal god, why was the remaining sword intent able to injure the God of Samsara!"

Qingyi once said that the power of the God of Samsara is not much worse than that of the Emperor Qinglian.

Shen Changqing would think it was normal if Emperor Qinglian was able to repel or even defeat the God of Samsara when he was alive.

But now, just a sword intent left by Emperor Qinglian can injure a top god, which is a little unbelievable.

Even if Shen Changqing himself had cultivated the Green Lotus Sword Intention for many years, it would be impossible for him to break through the Sword Intention to this level.

How much do you weigh?

He still knows.

Not to mention nurturing it for a few thousand years, even if it was nurtured for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, it would be impossible to nurture the Green Lotus Sword Intent to such a level.

after all--

There is a huge gap between the top gods and those who are half-step immortal.

It is almost impossible to bridge such a gap with time.

of course.

Nothing is absolute.

If Shen Changqing had cultivated this sword intent for tens of millions of years without making a breakthrough in his own cultivation, he might have been able to achieve the same effect as now.

however.

Shen Changqing has only been cultivating it for a few thousand years, so it is impossible for him to improve the Green Lotus Sword Intent much.

In other words.

This sword intent itself is extremely powerful.

Qing Yi said: "The Emperor was indeed a top immortal in his time, and all the powerful people in the past, no matter how brilliant they were, stopped at this level.

The Emperor once said that when a cultivator enters the realm of immortality, there is no way forward.

To put it another way, if the Emperor had truly broken the shackles of immortality, he would not have perished in the Chaos Forbidden Zone."

Hear the words.

Shen Changqing was silent.

He knew that what Qing Yi said was true.

Although it is unclear what kind of existence is above immortality, if Emperor Qinglian really broke through that layer of shackles, it would be impossible for him to fall in the chaotic restricted area.

As it is now.

Even if there are many God Emperors, it is difficult to encircle and suppress a God Lord.

The same is true.

If Emperor Qinglian had taken that step back then, then no matter how many gods participated in that battle, he would not have died.

Greater possibility.

It was when the other party was on his deathbed that he realized the opportunity, so he left behind that sword intent.

otherwise.

It is difficult to explain why a sword intent can injure the God of Reincarnation.

"Those who can be ancient emperors are indeed very reasonable. If the target of that sword was not the God of Reincarnation, but a newly promoted God, he might have been killed!"

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

Kill the God!

This is no joke.

The power of that sword intent was simply unheard of.

but.

There is no use regretting now.

In Shen Changqing's opinion, consuming a sword intent to buy himself a chance of survival is a good deal.

The battle in Qingyun Province was just a wake-up call for Shen Changqing.

Even if he has all kinds of means to hide his whereabouts, he cannot be careless. An approach like the Lord of Samsara's, where he sits back and waits for something to happen, could really cost him his life at the critical moment.

Think of the God of Reincarnation.

Shen Changqing's expression turned cold again.

He already had a feud with the Temple of Samsara, and now the feud between the two was becoming more and more serious.

Shen Changqing has never been a generous person. Sooner or later, he will seek settlement with the God of Samsara for what happened in Qingyun Province.

but.

Before that.

Shen Changqing did not come out directly, but planned to continue practicing in seclusion in this small world.

Just right.

He wanted to use this time to digest all that he had gained in Qingyun Province over the years, and at the same time comprehend what he had learned and improve his strength as much as possible.

The battle with the God of Samsara made Shen Changqing clearly aware of the shortcomings of his own strength.

If you don't have enough strength but choose to wander around, no one can guarantee when you will fall.

then.

Shen Changqing looked towards his own cave.

During that half year, he traveled to 108 prefectures in Qingyun Province and destroyed many Divine Emperor-level forces. The amount of Netherworld Spirit Stones had exceeded 2 billion.

Also.

There is a lot of other material.

Just right.

Shen Changqing also wants to practice the ancient military emperor's inheritance, and these materials can be used for his own purposes.

If he was in Qingyun Province, Shen Changqing would never go into seclusion rashly. After all, it was impossible for the Chaos Emperor to relax the guard in Qingyun Province, and the Qingyun Guards would definitely continue to search for his whereabouts.

but.

Shen Changqing is not in Qingyun Province now, but in Fengdu.

The underworld, the nine provinces and the eight wildernesses.

Fengdu is one of the big states.

This is the province governed by the Temple of Samsara, and it is also the central area of ​​the entire underworld.

Reason for coming here.

Shen Changqing naturally wanted to take revenge on the Temple of Samsara.

But before that, he has to improve his strength first.

It just so happens that the situation in the underworld is changing rapidly now, so I can make plans before taking action.

-

Retreat!

Focus on retreat!

Shen Changqing completely abandoned the exploration of the outside world and focused all his attention on himself, refining many Netherworld Spirit Stones to improve his cultivation.

In the fifth year of his retreat.

Shen Changqing raised his cultivation from the late sixth level of great power to the peak of the sixth level of great power.

Further up.

It is the seventh level of great power.

But at present, Shen Changqing has no confidence in breaking through to the seventh level of great power.

After all, although his immortal power cultivation had broken through to the peak of the sixth level of great power, his ultimate magic was still at the initial stage of the sixth level of great power.

Want to break through to a greater realm.

The extreme method must be broken through simultaneously.

but.

The massacre of many people in Qingyun Province and the subsequent battle with the God of Samsara made Shen Changqing gain many insights. In the sixth year of his retreat, he broke through to the middle level of the sixth level of great power.

After that.

Shen Changqing felt that his cultivation progress was slow, and his comprehension of the great Dao became obscure. He realized that he had reached a bottleneck in a short period of time, and then turned to comprehension of the Soldier Emperor's inheritance.

As a legacy left by the ancient military emperor, it is naturally mysterious and extraordinary.

but.

Shen Changqing was able to create his own innate magic and refine his own divine weapon, the Heavenly Sword. He could be considered a master in the art of refining weapons.

just.

Unlike formations and talismans, Shen Changqing can only be considered a second-grade master in refining equipment.

Even though the Heavenly Sword was a twelfth-grade treasure that could not be refined without a third-grade master, Shen Changqing took a lot of shortcuts when refining the Heavenly Sword.

otherwise.

With his weapon-refining skills, it would be impossible for him to refine a twelfth-grade heavenly sword.

Now Shen Changqing is concentrating on comprehending the inheritance of the Emperor of War. In his view, this top-notch inheritance of the ancient Emperor of Gods is no longer as obscure and difficult to understand as before.

Many things that were once obscure now become clear.

All kinds of enlightenment.

All of them came to my mind.

then.

Shen Changqing was suddenly inspired. He took out many relevant materials and began to refine his own magic weapon.

The requirements for refining magic weapons are extremely high. Shen Changqing happened to have the tenth-level Jade Spiritual Flame of the Divine Emperor, which could fully meet the needs of refining magic weapons.

and so.

With the help of the Qingyu Lingyan, Shen Changqing was able to refine the magic weapon very smoothly.

Just less than half a month.

An eleventh-grade divine weapon was formed.

It was a long sword, and the burning aura of spiritual flame had not completely dissipated. Just one glance at it made people feel a sharp edge coming towards them, foreshadowing that this magic weapon was extraordinary.

“Normally this magical weapon should only be of the middle eleventh grade, but because of the Green Jade Spirit Flame and the mysterious weapon refining method of the Emperor of Weapons, it has been forcibly upgraded to a higher grade.

In terms of quality, it is comparable to a late-stage eleventh-grade divine weapon!"

The moment Shen Changqing grasped the hilt of the sword, he was able to understand a lot of information about the magic weapon in front of him.

The eleventh-grade divine weapon is considered a top treasure for the God Lord, but for those who are stronger than the God Lord, this kind of divine weapon is nothing.

and so.

Shen Changqing threw the magic weapon aside and began to refine a new magic weapon.
