Chapter 400: Chapters 169-170 Daylight Thunderclap (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch "潇洒拐子" for the reward, a two-in-one Chapter)_2

Forty thousand Merit Points were out of the question; even four hundred were something he couldn’t produce now. He felt a tinge of regret.

Shen Changqing then asked, "By the way, I’ve slain three low-level Demon Evils. Does that mean with the Yin Evil Aura of these three low-level Demon Evils, I can exchange for three more low-level Demon Evils at the Demon-Subduing Division?"

"Er..." Xun Qu was speechless. This guy was really trying to exploit a loophole.

Given this, he could only shake his head. "Elder Shen, you’re overthinking it. You’ve exchanged for three low-level Demon Evils, and there’s already a record of that in the Demon-Subduing Division. If you want to exchange for another low-level Demon Evil, you must present an aura surpassing that of three low-level Demon Evils. Otherwise, it can’t be done."

The Demon-Subduing Division naturally wouldn’t have such loopholes. What Shen Changqing thought of, the people of the Demon-Subduing Division had long considered. Therefore, the possibility of using Demon Evil Aura to infinitely cycle and exchange for Demon Evils simply didn’t exist.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing was somewhat disappointed but quickly recovered. Exploiting the system was out of the question. Still, that was fine. Even if he had the credentials, he didn’t have enough Merit Points to spend. He understood that his priority now was to earn Merit Points as soon as possible.

"Elder Shen, when I was returning, I heard some news that the Myriad Buddhas Sect has formed the Heaven Alliance and is preparing to attack Baiyue City. I wonder if this is true?" Xun Qu changed the subject, the smile on his face vanishing.

Shen Changqing nodded. "According to information from the Heavenly Inspection Guard, there is such a matter. It’s a pity that I cannot leave Mountain-Breaking City now and am unable to set out. Plus, the strength within the Demon-Subduing Division is limited. As such, support has not been provided for the time being."

"I understand," Xun Qu said, expressing his comprehension.

Mountain-Breaking City itself was barely holding on; how could it have any spare strength to concern itself with Baiyue City? Baiyue City could not fall, and neither could Mountain-Breaking City.

The two chatted briefly, and then Shen Changqing took his leave.

After leaving the main hall, he went straight for the Scripture Pavilion. With his hypothesis and now having enough Slaughter Value, it was time to put theory into practice.

「Half a day passed.」

Shen Changqing came out of the Scripture Pavilion. This time, his mind was filled with twelve Martial Arts. All twelve were fist and palm techniques, with no other types mixed in.

Back in his room, Shen Changqing immediately entered the integration phase.

"Detecting..."

"Detecting..."

"Detecting..."

When his mind focused on the panel, various messages kept surfacing, and he chose to integrate them all.

Suddenly, waves of memories barraged him. Shen Changqing paid no heed, letting the memories flood in and then used the power of his Divine Soul to completely absorb them.

「Two hours passed.」

When he regained his senses, all that was left of the twelve Martial Arts on the panel were three. Similar to the Divine Sun Collapsing Heavenly Finger, the three Martial Arts were all on the same level. At this point, he had used a total of one hundred and eighty Slaughter Value, leaving exactly five hundred points on the panel.

His mind focused on the remaining three Martial Arts, and corresponding messages appeared.

"Detecting ’Divine Sun Collapsing Heavenly Finger’ and ’Star Plucking Hand’ have the same attributes; merging costs one hundred Slaughter Value!"

"Merge!"

HUMMM—

A vast memory surged forth, causing his Divine Soul to tremble slightly. His eyes shut tightly as he silently absorbed the impact of the memory.

After a while, the memory was fully digested. On the panel, a new Martial Art appeared:

Profound Sun Finger (Level 1)

The name might have been simple and unadorned, but from his memories, the power of this Martial Art was many times more terrifying than the Divine Sun Collapsing Heavenly Finger.

Without pause, Shen Changqing steadied himself slightly and began to merge the other two Martial Arts. The same memory impact occurred. After digesting the memory, the two Martial Arts on the panel successfully merged into one:

Great Collapsing Star Hand (Uninitiated, mergeable)

Whew, just one more step to go!

Taking a deep breath, he looked at the only two Martial Arts remaining on the panel, and a premonition surfaced in his heart. Shen Changqing felt as though he understood that once the two Martial Arts merged again, he would definitely gain an extremely powerful technique. For a moment, he felt a slight ripple in his mind.

Taking a deep breath to steady his mind, the next instant, his thoughts focused on the panel.

"Detecting ’Profound Sun Finger’ and ’Great Collapsing Star Hand’ have the same attributes; merging costs three hundred Slaughter Value!"

"Merge!"

BOOM—

A memory vaster than all previous mergers combined rose from the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

RUMBLE!!

Memory impact. The immense memories, even with Shen Changqing’s now second-order Divine Soul, caused it to shake violently. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

That moment, he entered a state of unconsciousness.

In the Firmament above, suddenly, a thunderclap boomed on a clear day. Thunderbolts danced wildly like dragons, instilling fear in all who witnessed them.

"Strange, what has happened now?"

"A Daylight Thunderclap! Could it be that Elder Shen has made another breakthrough?"

Inside the Demon-Subduing Division, everyone was astounded. Some looked towards where Shen Changqing resided, but there was no disturbance there. This puzzled them even more. The previous few thunder strikes had made the people of the Demon-Subduing Division much more sensitive.
