e again looked at the Dao of Heaven's Cave he had comprehended, and his mind immediately withdrew.Before entering the Tiān Wú Realm.His number of laws was originally two hundred and ninety-nine, but a...Things happen for a reason.
> Blindly merging is more likely to result in losses.
Martial arts fusion itself consumes killing points, and the higher the rank of the martial arts being fused, the higher the rank of the resulting merged martial art.
However.
The higher the level of martial arts, the more killing points are consumed in the early stage.
That's when things get interesting.
According to Shen Changqing's guess.
It's most efficient to upgrade martial arts to around level twenty before merging them.
Just—
Shen Changqing looked at the three points of killing value on the panel and completely abandoned his plans.
This killing value.
It's not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth.
"Right now, I don't need to worry about my physical body. The real problem is my spiritual system. My current understanding of the Hundred Battles True Intent is only at the initial stage. I wonder what level I need to reach before I can manifest it."
Shen Changqing looked at the data on the panel. On this matter, he hadn't asked Dongfang Zhao.
I forgot what was in front.
Now, there is no need to ask.
Not everyone has a dashboard, so not everyone can be precise about a data point to a certain number.
If you go out and tell people the essence of martial arts, many probably wouldn't understand what you mean.
So.
As for how much of martial arts' true meaning one can manifest, Shen Changqing could only research it himself.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However, looking at the panel, if Martial Intent reaches ten percent, it's very likely that one could achieve Manifestation of True Intent, or even with lower conditions.
But the true meaning involves a spiritual level, and cultivating it is not an easy task.
After the Hundred Battles Sword Technique transformed into the Hundred Battles True Meaning, Shen Changqing did not receive any extra memories related to the True Meaning.
It's just that.
At the moment of breakthrough, that layer of insight was retained by him. The true meaning that had been conceived took root in his mind.
Discard all distracting thoughts.
Shen Changqing sat cross-legged on his bed, all his attention focused inside his mind.
Not long after.
A grayish space appeared in his 'line of sight'.
In the gaze.
The grayish space seemed to have no boundaries.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And in the center of the space, the gray mist dispersed, revealing a blood-red lotus blooming, its roots planted in the grayish space.
The lotus is in full bloom.
But there was only one petal left.
When Shen Changqing tried to 'approach' the blood lotus, a suffocating aura of slaughter washed over him instantly. Then, it was as if thousands of horses and chariots were charging, making one's heart tremble with fear.
A gray space, it is the martial artist's spiritual world, also known as the sea of consciousness.
Blood lotus.
That is the true meaning of martial arts cultivated in the depths of one's mind.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Before the true intent of a hundred battles had been conceived, Shen Changqing was unable to enter the sea of consciousness.
But.
With the birth of Bai Zhan Zhen Yi, his sea of consciousness seemed to transform from a sealed state to an open and accessible one. This allowed him to leverage the connection with Bai Zhan Zhen Yi to enter within.
"The blood lotus represents the true meaning of a hundred battles. Then, one petal means one true meaning. Does every time you comprehend a bit more of the true meaning, a petal bloom"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! I can handle a variety of languages.
Shen Changqing cannot be 100% certain.
But the appearance of the blood-colored lotus before my eyes, coupled with the description of Hundred Battles True Intent on the panel, wasn't much different.
His mind was absorbed in contemplation.
He could truly feel the power of that genuine force.
In an instant.
>Then you could see the scene changing, and at some point, you found yourself in a bloody world.
The world is bathed in blood.
As if it were the end of the world.
An air of destruction and ill omen permeates my thoughts, refusing to dissipate.
Next.
Yet again, blood-red cavalry charged.
Blood horse.
Blood nails.
A blood-colored mask.
At the same time, he wielded a seven-foot blood sword, like the origin of destruction, destroying everything that stood in his way.
When you look at it seriously.
The Blood-Red Iron Cavalry gives one a sense of unreality, as if it were not truly real.
But the shock of that desolate and murderous assault shook Shen Changqing's heart and soul.
Next.
And once again, the scene changed.
From some point on, he discovered himself becoming a member of the crimson cavalry. Under him was a steed of blood, his vision blocked by a blood-colored mask. A chilling slaughter filled his mind, giving him an urge to destroy everything.
Boom!
The warhorses charged.
In a blood-red sky, powerful beast hordes appear.
The moment the blood-red iron cavalry appeared, the beasts immediately charged towards them.
That's all.
Please note that I can only translate the text content within the tags. HTML tags themselves are not translated.
The charging speed of the warhorses was relentless.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
A seven-foot long blade danced, tearing through the beast's fur and flesh. When blood splattered, the scarlet blade absorbed much of it.
That moment.
Shen Changqing felt that his own strength seemed to have increased a bit.
The battle happened very quickly.
The end came quickly as well.
Before he could see too much, a sharp pain shot through his mind, and the next moment he was pulled back from the blood-red world.
Little courtyard.
In the bedroom.
Shen Changqing sat cross-legged on the bed, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, a bloody light flashed and disappeared.
Then.
It's a sort of dull ache, coming from the depths of my mind.
After waiting for a while, the stinging sensation finally subsided.
“It seems that entering the state of True Intent in battle just now consumed a lot of spirit.”
> But—
Shen Changqing closed his eyes, savoring the feeling from just now. After a long while, he reopened his eyes, a faint smile on his face.
Although I am mentally exhausted.
But.
He, however, found that his understanding of the true meaning of a hundred battles seemed to have deepened by a tiny fraction. Although this increase was negligible and could not be detected unless one paid close attention.
But the improvement is an improvement, that cannot be denied.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"It turns out that the true meaning of a hundred battles can be improved like this!"
“But such a method of improvement takes too long. The mental exhaustion it causes is not something ordinary—”
Shěn Chángqīng's brows furrowed slightly.
He looked at the scene in the bedroom, with light filtering through the cracks in the window, showing that a night had passed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When I entered my own inner sea of consciousness, it was clearly nightfall.
But now.
It's already daytime.
Time had passed quite a while, but in Shen Changqing's perception, it felt as if it had only been a short while.
One night.
This truly allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the essence of a hundred battles. If you want to elevate the essence of a hundred battles to the second stage, it would take at least a year and a half.
On that premise.
It is necessary to enter the sea of knowledge every day and comprehend the true meaning of a hundred battles.
But—
Shen Changqing was feeling a throbbing pain in his head. At this rate of consumption, it would be impossible to ease the pain for at least two or three days.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“If one were to meditate incessantly for a year, it could elevate the true meaning of a hundred battles to the second level. Considering the time spent resting and recovering, the actual time required would be at least two to three times longer.”
Here is the translation:
One year, it has to become two or three years.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"And this, is only allowing the Hundred Battles True Intent to break through from one-tenth to two-tenths."
Understanding the expense involved, his smile became strained.
Is two or three years a long time
For ordinary people, it might not be very long, but for Shen Changqing, two or three years was almost equivalent to a reincarnation.
He has been here for over two years, but not yet three.
This period of time.
He himself had never stepped into the body forging realm and reached his current master realm.
If we were to continue using the same amount of time, it would take far too long to make even minor breakthroughs in the spiritual realm.
Unless——
"I could take something to replenish my mental energy, to shorten the gap in my spiritual depletion, and then I could break through faster."
It's better to make a breakthrough in one year than in two or three years.
>
Although the improvement speed is still far behind compared to now, it can be said that it is acceptable if it can be shortened by several times.
As for things that replenish mental energy.

Shen Changqing recalled the exchange list he saw at Zhan Yaotang. It listed a variety of treasures, as well as things to supplement one's spirit.
I went there yesterday.
He had no achievements to speak of, so he just glanced at them a few times without any intention of exchanging them.
But now it's different.
Dongfang was given three hundred merit points, making himself incredibly wealthy overnight.
However.
Also from Dongfang Zhao's reaction, Shen Changqing seemed to understand something.
“I intercepted tens of thousands of barbarian troops and killed the barbarian general. If this were on a battlefield, this would be a truly outstanding military achievement. Even if the court was in an emergency, it wouldn't be possible to give no reward at all.”
Then there's only one possibility left, the court doesn't want to bestow a reward upon me.
>
Don't want to give rewards.
There must be a reason the court doesn't want to give it.
Shen Changqing asked himself if he had any grudges with the imperial court. The court couldn't possibly target him, a mere demon slayer. So the only remaining possibility was his own Demon Suppression Division.
Immediately.
He thus got a guess from it.
“The Imperial Court is dealing with the Demon Suppression Division!”
"No, it's probably not a direct confrontation, but maybe they are secretly suppressing the Demon Suppression Division, which is why my achievements were taken away—"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As for this guess, Shen Changqing had seven or eight points of certainty.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Then.
He thought of other things.
“The imperial court didn't give any rewards, but Dongfang Zhao, on behalf of the Demon Suppression Division, gave me some. He probably didn't want me to feel resentful, but his words also hinted at something else: what the imperial court didn't give, the Demon Suppression Division did.”
"There's something intriguing about this."
Shen Changqing's eyes flickered. He wasn't a fool, and he could guess something from the clues hidden in plain sight.
"If that's really the case, then it's a game of power between the imperial court and the Demon Suppression Division, and I'm not directly involved. At least at my current level, I'm not powerful enough. What I truly need to face are those who command the Demonic Guard."
Shaking my head.
He discarded those distracting thoughts.
Given the current situation, even if the imperial court secretly suppressed the Demon Suppression Division, there wouldn't be too much action. The threat of demons has always been there; without addressing this root cause, the likelihood of the Demon Suppression Division falling is low.
After leaving the room, I washed up briefly in the yard.
