Human Clan Defender

Chapter 1019 - 107-108: Stars and Myriad Phenomena, Divine Ability Laws

As an experienced direct disciple of the Candle Sect.

Although Zhongshan Rong was at the Ninth Layer of the God Realm, his foundation and strength were enough to be on par with an ordinary Tenth Layer of the God Realm.

Through such comparison.

He felt.

With his own strength, suppressing the Tenth Layer of the God Realm was not a problem.

However.

Even among those at the Tenth Layer of the God Realm, there could be significant disparities.

Those as strong as Elder Zhongshan Xia, who had reached the perfection of the Tenth Layer of the God Realm, could cut down a Half-Step Divine King with a sword.

The weaker ones were like ordinary Tenth Layer of the God Realm individuals, who could be challenged across levels by Zhongshan Rong.

In the case of the latter.

Shen Changqing had one hundred percent confidence in suppressing them, but regarding the former, he likely still wouldn’t be a match.

The strong at that level, although still within the scope of the Tenth Layer of the God Realm.

In some sense, they had already transcended the limits of the God Realm, advancing to another level.

Unless he advanced to the post-stage of the God Realm, the likelihood of matching them was negligible.

Nonetheless.

Even so.

He was temporarily satisfied.

Looking across the clans he was aware of, those who could match Elder Zhongshan Xia were few, not exceeding one hand.

Such powerhouses at this level could already contend with Divine Kings.

Unless he was seeking unnecessary trouble, there was no need to provoke such strong individuals.

As for the Demon Evil Clan.

Shen Changqing had confidence that with his current strength, handling them was no longer much of an issue.

But to be safe.

It would be best to further enhance his strength.

Moreover.

According to his current estimation, the Demon Evil Clan’s attack on the Human Clan Realm would take at least another decade or so.

Given another decade.

The Demon Evil Clan would be even less of a threat.

——

The tightly closed hall doors opened.

Shen Changqing stepped out from inside.

Cui Fu, who had been guarding in front of the hall doors, hurriedly turned around upon hearing the commotion behind him and happened to see the other person walking out.

Immediately, he stepped forward two steps, bowed, and said: "Peak Master!"

"Is there something?"

Shen Changqing’s expression was calm.

If there wasn’t a need, the other wouldn’t be guarding here deliberately.

Upon hearing this, Cui Fu truthfully replied: "A month ago, Elder Zhongshan Xia brought a verbal order from the Sect Master, saying you should go to the Main Sect Main Hall after you finished your seclusion."

"A verbal order from the Sect Master!"

Shen Changqing’s eyes narrowed.

In an instant.

He linked it to some things.

Zhongshan Dongxuan could not have wanted to see him for no reason, so there must be a cause.

The most likely possibility at present was due to the commotion caused by his fusion of divine skills.

Regarding this.

Shen Changqing felt no fear.

He dared to fuse divine skills, thus not fearing the Candle Sect’s suspicions.

Creating divine skills hinges on talent and opportunity.

As a direct disciple of the Candle Sect, and having mastered the Divine Lord level Innate Divine Ability, it made sense that he could create a First-Grade divine skill; this explanation was entirely plausible.

No matter what the issue, he could always attribute it to his own talent.

After comprehending the Eyes of Time, neither the Candle Sect nor the Zhongshan Clan behind them could ever again doubt his identity.

Such divine skills.

Could not be comprehended by anyone who wasn’t a cultivator of the Zhongshan Clan.

Moreover.

Even within the Zhongshan Clan, no cultivator had comprehended the Eyes of Time for hundreds of thousands of years.

At this point.

Creating a First-Grade divine skill would simply add another stroke to his reputation for talent.

For this reason.

Shen Changqing dared to publicly fuse divine skills within the Candle Sect.

Otherwise.

With his disposition.

He would most likely leave the Candle Sect, find a secretive place, and quietly fuse his divine skills.

Although the emergence of divine skills often comes with phenomena, the coverage area is quite broad.

As long as he hid appropriately, even if the phenomenon caused some stir, it wasn’t likely to expose him.

Once he understood.

Shen Changqing looked at Cui Fu: "I am aware of the matter now, you may leave."

"Yes!"

Cui Fu bowed and withdrew.

After the other had left, Shen Changqing straightened his collar a bit and then took a step forward, leaving Qiu Peak.

——

Before the Main Sect Main Hall.

Staring at the majestic hall in front of him, Shen Changqing felt a subtle oppression in his heart.

This hall had stood in the Candle Sect for countless ages, yet he had truly entered it so few times that they could be counted on one hand.

Before the hall.

He said in a loud voice: "Disciple Zhongshan Chou, pays respects!"

"Enter."

A gentle yet authoritative voice was heard.

Upon hearing it.

Shen Changqing stepped in.

Inside the hall.

Zhongshan Dongxuan sat high on a throne, with the divine light surrounding his body already dispersed, revealing his true appearance.

At the corner of his sight, he noticed a stroke of plain color.

Shen Changqing was taken aback and then immediately bowed and paid his respects: "Disciple Zhongshan Chou, greets the Sect Master and Mi Shui Divine King!"

"No need for formalities!"

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

Shen Changqing straightened up.

He then used the corner of his eyes to observe everything inside the hall.

Beside the two Divine Kings, there were no elders present.

Moreover, the Mi Shui Divine King, ever since the battle of the White Jade Sect, hadn’t appeared again.

Even at the recent sect tournament, he wasn’t visible.

Yet he appeared here now, intriguing Shen Changqing greatly.

"May I ask the reason the Sect Master summoned this disciple here?"

He inquired.

Upon his words falling.

Zhongshan Dongxuan calmly replied: "Recently, there was a heavenly phenomenon, and the divine skill you created is quite impressive."

"This disciple was contemplating the Heavens in Palm and unexpectedly gained an insight into a divine skill. It’s a surprise that it disturbed the Sect Master, I am truly embarrassed."

Shen Changqing expressed modesty.

The foundation for the fusion of Stars and Myriad Phenomena was the Heavens in Palm, so gaining insight from Heavens in Palm into a divine skill had no flaws in logic.

Upon hearing this.

A faint smile appeared on Zhongshan Dongxuan’s otherwise serene and still face.
