ho are you"From the way the other person is talking, it seems like they know me pretty well.But when he looked back over all his memories, he couldn't recall ever having met the person in front of him...Commander of the Human Race!

Playing hooky

That is Shen Changqing's cultivation of the art of disguise and transformation.

This ultimate skill is not only about changing one's own aura, but also about perfectly concealing one's true strength.

When Shen Changqing first entered the Netherworld, his cultivation in stealing heaven and changing day was just beginning. Moreover, the cultivation of that Immortal King Wuhen was profound, almost as good as that of Immortal King Yujing.

It's natural for the other party to see through one's facade.

But over the years, Shen Changqing's cultivation in stealing and changing days has never slacked off for a moment.

As Qingyi said, although he hasn't perfected the art of stealing heaven and changing days, he has made significant progress. It shouldn't be a problem for him to deceive a mere public sheep.

"I am Hong Shan, I have seen the Immortal King!"

In the grand hall, Shen Changqing stepped inside and bowed to Gongyangzi.

Red Mountain.

That is his public name.

Right now, we're in Hongshan City. The city lord of Hongshan City is called Hongshan, which is quite fitting.

Upon seeing Shen Changqing's arrival, Gongyangzi also courteously returned the greeting: "Gong Yangzi has met the Lord of Red Mountain City!"

As they were speaking.

Gongyangzi was also silently sizing up the person in front of him.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

His divine sense was subtle, and unintentionally he swept over Shen Changqing's body.

Gongyangzi wasn't worried about being detected, after all, a small deity couldn't possibly sense his divine thoughts.

Little did he know.

When the divine consciousness of Gongyangzi fell upon him, Shen Changqing was the first to notice, but he did not deliberately obstruct it, acting as if he knew nothing.

Gongyangzi thoroughly examined Shen Changqing both inside and out, but under the cover of deception, he couldn't detect any clues.

The cultivator before his eyes was clearly a divine sovereign of the sixth level, his aura was not concealed in the slightest, and there was no trace to be found.

“As expected!”

This monk is not Shen Changqing!

Gongyangzi must have been thinking deeply.

If the person in front of me is really Shen Changqing, the other party is very likely to notice my investigation. Once I anger them, I might not even be able to leave Hongshan City.

> Only because the Jade Emperor had given an order, Gongyangzi had to bite the bullet and do it.

Now, after investigating thoroughly, it was confirmed that the Red Mountain City Lord posed no threat. Naturally, Gong Yangzi breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Changqing took his seat, a polite expression on his face: "Your Majesty's name has long been known to me, but I wonder what brings Your Majesty to my Hongshan City"

“As the Divine Monarch defeated the God Emperor, the current Lord of Red Mountain is renowned throughout the Ancient Wilderness. The ancestral home of Huayang has long been famous, and this old man has come here at the order of the ancestral home to invite the Lord to join our Huayang ancestral home.”

If the City Lord is willing, the Huayang ancestral home will treat him as an outer sect elder. In terms of resources and salary, it will be very generous. Even for powerful figures like Divine Emperors or even Immortal Venerables, there will be opportunities to witness their teachings!

>

Gongyangzi stroked his beard and smiled faintly.

After confirming that Shen Changqing was just an ordinary cultivator, Gongyangzi directly extended an olive branch.

Huayang Zuting personally came forward to recruit him, and he believed that the other party would most likely not refuse.

Moreover, to entice Shen Changqing to join Huayang Ancestral Temple, Gongyangzi even offered the inheritance of the Divine Emperor as a temptation.

A normal cultivator would undoubtedly be unable to resist the allure of such a transmission.

That's all.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Although Shen Changqing's face remained calm, he inwardly scoffed.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

The Divine Venerable's Immortal Legacy!

When Gongyangzi said this, he didn't believe a single word of it.

>

If it's the Divine Emperor's power transmission, joining the outer elders of Huayang ancestral court might have a chance, but to say that the Divine Venerable's immortal transmission is real, then that's just nonsense.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Such a level of transmission, let alone a half-baked outer sect elder, even if it were a direct disciple raised from childhood, wouldn't necessarily have the opportunity to glimpse the mysteries.

So.

The words of the Gongyangzi are nothing but fooling fools.

However.

The position of Elder of the Outer Gate is quite tempting. If Shen Changqing were truly an ordinary wandering cultivator, he might be tempted by it.

But he was not a rogue cultivator from the netherworld after all. If he truly wanted to join the Huayang ancestral hall, he would be putting himself in danger. A slight misstep could make it impossible for him to escape.

>

The reputation of Huayang ancestral home is well-known to me. In the past, I also wanted to join its school, but unfortunately, I had no way in...

Shen Changqing's words caused a few more smiles to appear on Gong Yangzi's face, however, the following words he uttered made his smile stiff.

>

“But now I have settled down in Guhuang. Although Guhuang is barren, at least it is far away from the turmoil of the great calamity.”

As for those of us who are wandering cultivators, we tread cautiously in the midst of this great calamity. The slightest carelessness could lead to our demise and obliteration from existence. At present, I deeply feel the inadequacy of my cultivation. If I were truly to join the Hua Yang ancestral home, I fear I would be unable to contribute anything meaningful.

So, the kindness of the Immortal King, this one can only accept it with heart and mind!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Your Excellency should think carefully, other cultivators haven't had the chance to join Huayang Ancestral Temple. Now, as long as the City Lord nods, you can make me an Elder of the Outer Gate of Huayang Ancestral Temple."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It is known that the Elder position, even an outer gate one, requires a divine emperor realm expert to qualify. This time, it is considered a special exception made for the city lord.

And as you said, with the great tribulation unfolding right now, where in the Nine States and Eight Desolates can there truly be a pure land

Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!

Joining the Huayang ancestral hall grants you protection from your ancestors, and greatly increases your hope of surviving future calamities.

Gongyangzi, unwilling to give up, persisted in his plea.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

If he had been in the past, he wouldn't have bothered to persuade so much. The Huayang ancestral home never begged other cultivators to join at any time.

But times have changed.

Now, the Huayang ancestral home's strength is precious every bit.

Moreover.

The Fu Dao cultivator before his eyes was also not weak. If he were to be promoted to a fourth-rank Fu Dao master, the effect he brought would be much stronger than that of several powerful gods of the same level.

Shen Changqing wryly smiled: "Your Majesty's kindness, I naturally understand. But I have already made up my mind to stay away from the tribulation and strife. So, I can only disappoint Your Majesty."

After he spoke.

The scene fell silent instantly.

Gongyangzi's smile vanished from his face, and his expression became much more indifferent: "Very well, since Your Excellency is unwilling, this old man will not press the issue. I shall take my leave now!"

"Farewell, Immortal King!"

Shen Changqing also got up to see them off.

After leaving Hongshan City, Gongyangzi's indifferent face suddenly turned gloomy.

"What a despicable Hongshan City Lord, to disregard the face of my Huayang ancestral home! Such audacity is truly infuriating!"

Although Shen Changqing's refusal was polite, in Gongyangzi's view, it was an insult to Huayang's ancestral home.

As the top hegemon in the Nine Regions, many divine sovereigns and god emperors would vie to join the Huayang ancestral hall. This is because the Huayang ancestral hall possesses numerous top-tier inheritances and unimaginably rich cultivation resources.

Where did the time go

He, a mighty celestial emperor, would be rejected even if he personally invited a deity.

For a moment, Gongyangzi was so furious that he wanted to unleash his anger and destroy the entire Hongshan City.

But he was just thinking about it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Destroying a Red Mountain City is easy, but the consequences that follow its destruction are not so easily erased.

The destruction of Huayang's ancestral home without reason has wiped out Hongshan City. What will the other forces in Guhuang think

The situation on the side of the underworld camp is not optimistic at present, and the Hua Yang ancestral home has suffered heavy losses.

>

If he truly incites the wrath of others, even to the point of sullying the reputation of all factions in the underworld, Gongyangzi himself will not be able to escape the consequences.

>

Therefore.

Even if Shen Changqing disrespects Huayang's ancestral home to this extent, Gong Yangzi could only grit his teeth and bear it.

Then.

He returned to the ancient Nine Cities of Guhuang to take revenge on the Jade Emperor Immortal.

Upon hearing that Shen Changqing had declined to join the Huayang ancestral hall, he was slightly disappointed, but his expression remained largely unchanged.

These wandering cultivators are nothing but weather vanes, changing sides with the wind. The current situation at Huayang's ancestral home is not optimistic, so naturally, they wouldn't want to get involved in this mess.

But, are you sure about the identity of that Red Mountain Lord

Whether Hongshan City joins the Huayang ancestral home is unimportant. What truly matters is whether the other party is Shen Changqing or not.

Gongyangzi nodded: “This old man has used his divine sense to search inside and out, but found no abnormalities. He also didn't detect this old man's divine sense. This cultivator is definitely not Shen Changqing.”

"So good!"

The Jade Emperor also nodded in agreement, then sighed again.

“This person’s whereabouts remain unknown. There is no news of him throughout the Nine States and Eight Desolates. It is rumored that the Four Great Empires, the Wheel of Reincarnation Temple, and the Black Demon Sect are all willing to pay a high price to find him.”

But so far, not a word.

All forces are searching for Shen Changqing's whereabouts, but if anyone is said to be the most dedicated in their search, it would undoubtedly be the several forces mentioned by the Jade King Immortal.

The Reincarnation Temple and the Four Imperial Dynasties need no further introduction. With the invasion of the dark camp into the heavens, countless strong individuals have fallen, a significant majority of whom were slain by Shen Changqing.

Please note that the original input contained only a closing paragraph tag (`

The grievances between the two sides were clearly irreconcilable.

The Black Demon Sect is also similar in this way.

The mighty Demon Sovereign, actually being expelled from the celestial realm by the Black Demon Clan of the heavens, this news spreads and is met with ridicule.

And the reason the Demon Lord was expelled by the Dark Demon God Clan is also inextricably linked to Shen Changqing.

Therefore.

The demon lord also wanted to eliminate the other party as quickly as possible.

Although the Nine Provinces and Eight Wastelands may seem vast, each of these forces has a solid foundation. If you truly want to find someone, it wouldn't be very difficult at all.

It's a pity.

This incident unfortunately happened to Shen Changqing.

Gong Yangzi said, "In my opinion, since Shen Changqing has entered the Netherworld, he definitely won't be involved in the center of the vortex. The Nine States is a place of great calamity and turmoil; this son couldn't possibly be in the Nine States."

>

If we exclude the Nine Regions, then there are only the Eight Desolations left.

The ancient wasteland was desolate and served as a stronghold for our Netherworld forces. It's highly unlikely that Shen Changqing would hide here.

"Therefore, if you're searching, I believe it's best to start in the other seven Desolate Lands, especially places like the Divine Desolation. The Great Tribulation has affected them very little, so they must be excellent hiding places."

It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, but it depends on the circumstances.

Now all the top powers are searching for Shen Changqing's whereabouts. The most dangerous places are truly dangerous.

Gong Yangzi believed that if Shen Changqing truly had the Nine States or the Ancient Desolation in his possession, he wouldn't remain completely untraceable.

The Jade Emperor Immortal heard this and nodded in deep agreement. "King Gongyang's point of view is quite similar to mine,"d, “What tricks does the ancient wasteland god race have left Today it seems that no one can save you!”That said.The right fist strikes out.The terrifying fist force shattered the void, the terrible p...
