Inside the jade box for Jiang Zuo was a single drop of his Essence Blood, along with a portion of Spiritual Power. After successfully breaking through to the third stage of the Divine Heaven Golden Body, Shen Changqing’s Essence Blood incarnation’s strength had progressed from that of an average Grandmaster to the later stages of the Grandmaster Realm. Moreover, possessing the Heavenly Thunder Attribute, his strength would be greater than that of a typical late-stage Grandmaster. Even when facing demonic-level Demon Evil, he would possess a certain power to resist. Of course, suppressing Demon Evil was out of the question, but resisting for a while wouldn’t be a major problem. At the very least, he could buy Jiang Zuo time to evacuate.

Shen Changqing also did not wish for the Steward of the Demon Hunting Court’s Huang Department to perish so abruptly in the South Nether Prefecture. The current situation was different. If the Demon Evil Clan were truly to launch a major attack on Mountain-Breaking City, members of the Eternal Alliance would inevitably appear. When the great battle commenced, ordinary Grandmasters could easily fall if they were not careful. If it was within his power, he still did not want to watch Jiang Zuo die like that.

After sending him away, Shen Changqing again made proper arrangements for all the Demon Hunters within the Demon-Subduing Division whom he could mobilize. For a time, the Demon-Subduing Division was nearly devoid of personnel.

"The necessary arrangements are nearly complete. What remains is to see whether their target is indeed Mountain-Breaking City!" Shen Changqing murmured to himself. He truly hoped from the bottom of his heart that the Demon Evil Clan’s target was Mountain-Breaking City, because only then could he gain immense benefits. If a few Demon Evils came to offer their deaths, then without waiting for Xun Qu’s return, he could directly cultivate his Divine Soul. By that time, he would truly step into the Grandmaster Realm.

Shen Changqing had a premonition: if he were to step into the Grandmaster Realm, he would very likely undergo an even greater transformation.

A breakthrough is essential! Once I truly enter the Grandmaster Realm, my only shortcoming will finally be compensated for, Shen Changqing reflected inwardly. Although his current strength surpassed that of an average King Rank Defender Envoy, his shortcoming was very clear: he had not successfully cultivated a Divine Soul and still had certain deficiencies in his spiritual aspects. At this level, it was common for the strong to use spiritual attacks. His flesh had transformed, and the Divine Thunder Heavenly Gang had formed, laying a strong defense within his Sea of Consciousness. But this could not hide the fact that his Divine Soul had not been cultivated. If the Divine Thunder Heavenly Gang’s defense were breached, his Sea of Consciousness would suffer severe damage.

Although my Divine Soul currently has deficiencies, the Divine Thunder Heavenly Gang is extremely powerful. The likelihood of someone completely penetrating its defense with spiritual power to shatter my Sea of Consciousness is not great. If a powerful being could accomplish this, I suppose they would have to be at the Great Demon level. Facing a Great Demon, whether or not I have a condensed Divine Soul seems to make little difference. Shen Changqing shook his head. His Divine Soul was a flaw, but not a fatal one.

The Divine Heaven Golden Body he had obtained through fusion was arguably the most top-notch and comprehensive Martial Art he had ever acquired. The Divine Thunder Heavenly Gang contained within was immensely powerful. It not only provided physical defense but could also offer strong protection against spiritual attacks. One could say that with the formation of the Divine Thunder Heavenly Gang, he had acquired comprehensive protection. Even though he had not truly fought a strong opponent of the same level, Shen Changqing was very confident.

After dispatching everyone, he continued to cultivate the Seven Stars Stepping on Air Step in the courtyard. This Martial Art had already touched the threshold of the fourth layer. Once he officially entered the fourth layer, he could truly achieve Hovering Crossing. If capable of Hovering Crossing, it could play a tremendous role on many occasions. Therefore, at this critical juncture, Shen Changqing also hoped to make some breakthroughs.

In the courtyard, Shen Changqing’s body stood motionless. In the next breath, his body slightly shook. Figures resembling incarnations separated from him, quickly occupying the entire courtyard within moments. This change made Tiankui, lying at the entrance of the courtyard, tilt its head in confusion. It didn’t quite understand why so many Shen Changqings had suddenly appeared. But after sniffing carefully, Tiankui understood where the real Shen Changqing was. At this moment, the afterimages in the courtyard overlapped one by one, until eventually, only one remained.

"Still, something is missing!" Shen Changqing frowned deeply, recalling his understanding of the Seven Stars Stepping on Air Step. He could clearly feel that he was only missing an opportunity to reach the fourth layer. However, it was precisely this opportunity for which he could not find a way to break through. For a time, Shen Changqing felt somewhat irritable. If he were far from a breakthrough, he wouldn’t be irritated, but being so close without being able to bridge the gap was truly bothersome.

Suddenly, Tiankui, lying in the courtyard, let out a whining sound. Shen Changqing’s mind withdrew from its state of comprehending Martial Arts. The courtyard gate opened. A somewhat familiar figure stood there. He recognized the man; it was the youth who always accompanied Gongye Heng.
