Human Clan Defender-Chapter 428 -s 184-185 Because You Are Strong Enough (Two-in-One - , Asking for Monthly Tickets)_2

The cost is not small?

Shen Changqing’s heart stirred. Dongfang Zhao’s words gave him a clearer understanding of the relationship between the Demon-Subduing Division and Great Qin.

Strictly speaking, Emperor Qin is akin to a nuclear weapon, his primary function being to deter the powerhouses of the Demon Evil Clan. The Dominator of the Capital Demon Suppression Division, then, serves as an internal deterrent. Also, when Emperor Qin cannot easily intervene, it is their role to suppress any powerful Demon Evil intending to wreak havoc.

Dongfang Zhao’s tone shifted, his expression turning serious. "As for why I chose you! The reason is simple: you are strong enough.

"Ever since you displayed your talent and strength, I had noticed you. However, back then, you weren’t the ideal candidate in my heart. At that time, there were some powerful Grandmasters within the Demon-Subduing Division, but none stood out excessively. As for individuals like Yi Ning, truth be told, they were too old; becoming a Defender Envoy would have been a dead end for them. It was only after you advanced to the Grandmaster Ultimate Summit that I truly began to see you as the best candidate for the next Dominator. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"The Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division must possess strength comparable to a Great Demon. Therefore, the stronger one is before becoming a Defender Envoy, the stronger they will be after assuming the position. Martial Artists at the Grandmaster Ultimate Summit are the most powerful individuals below the limit-breaking threshold. Such candidates, if they harbor no treacherous intentions, are considered the next Dominators of the Demon-Subduing Division."

Dongfang Zhao had said a great deal in one breath.

At this point, he paused briefly, a faint smile gracing his lips.

"Speaking of which, you don’t strike me as someone who would be loyal to Great Qin, nor to the Demon-Subduing Division. But you have your principles. If I had no other choice, I wouldn’t want to entrust you with the position of the next Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division. But now you have broken through to the Great Grandmaster level, and you might even progress further. I really can’t think of anyone more suitable than you."

Dongfang Zhao spoke frankly.

Shen Changqing’s mouth twitched slightly. But upon careful reflection, what the other party said seemed quite reasonable.

Loyal to Great Qin. Loyal to the Demon-Subduing Division. That would depend on the circumstances.

Dongfang Zhao continued, "The Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division doesn’t need someone blindly loyal. What’s needed is someone with intelligence, principles, and strength. Only such a person can ensure the long-term survival of the Demon-Subduing Division. The previous Dominator once told me that we Defender Envoys have a duty to save the common people and protect Great Qin. But in that statement, the common people come first, and Great Qin second. I believe Defender Shen can understand this."

The common people come first. Protecting Great Qin comes after.

Shen Changqing silently repeated these words, a sense of relief washing over him. Dongfang Zhao’s words were quite treasonous. However, what he said didn’t provoke any displeasure.

In some respects, Dongfang Zhao and he were actually the same kind of person. Even if not entirely, they shared many similarities.

"However, you don’t need to feel any psychological pressure," Dongfang Zhao said. "As long as I am alive, this burden will not fall on your shoulders. Now that you have broken the limit and become the second Great Grandmaster of this era, I would like to ask: what exactly is the method to break through to Great Grandmaster?"

Dongfang Zhao’s eyes burned with intensity. This question had weighed on his mind for a long time. If he could obtain the method, the Demon-Subduing Division might be able to mass-produce Great Grandmaster-level powerhouses. In that case, eliminating the Demon Evil and sweeping across the other nations would not be an issue at all.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing replied solemnly, "The method to break through to Great Grandmaster is neither entirely difficult nor entirely simple. It was once rumored that reaching the peak of the two systems allowed one to break the limit.

"That rumor isn’t entirely wrong. But there’s a difference: breaking the limit isn’t about reaching the peak of two systems. Rather, one must advance three systems simultaneously to the Ultimate Summit. Only then can one break the limit and become a Martial Artist of the Grandmaster Realm.

"The first is the Flesh, the second is True Qi, and the third is Spirit!

"Refining the Flesh strengthens the physique, causing blood and Qi to transform further. True Qi converts into True Yuan, and True Yuan coagulates to form the Golden Core. The Spirit then nurtures this Golden Core. The union of these elements gives birth to the Divine Soul. At this stage, a Martial Artist is considered to have broken the threshold and advanced to the Grandmaster Realm."

Three systems? Dongfang Zhao looked puzzled. He had never heard of any three systems.

Only then did Dongfang Zhao truly understand what it took to break through to Great Grandmaster. He also understood just how difficult it was to achieve this.

When Shen Changqing finished speaking, the Dominator of the Demon-Subduing Division couldn’t help but shake his head. "Breaking the limit is indeed not so easy. Achieving the Ultimate Summit in one system is already extremely rare; achieving it in two systems is rarer still. According to you, having all three systems at the Ultimate Summit almost entirely blocks the path of progress."

Moreover, this third system is not widely known. Many Martial Artists neglect True Qi cultivation after becoming Grandmasters. Therefore, there are essentially no Grandmasters who have coagulated a Golden Core. Even if this information were disseminated, it would cause ninety-nine percent of so-called prodigies to sigh in despair before this daunting threshold.
