Chapter 875 35-36: Breakthroughs in Martial Dao (Two-in-One)

"From initially entering the Second Level of the Cave Heaven Realm to the Middle Stage of the Third Level, it's more than just crossing one Great Realm, but the consumption of the Cave Heaven Realm is much greater than I expected."

"I initially thought that refining all the Hearts of Spirit Vein would allow me to enter the Fourth Level of the Cave Heaven Realm, but it seems now that to enter the Fourth Level at least twenty large Hearts of Spirit Vein are needed."

The smile on Shen Changqing's face slightly faded.

The consumption of the Cave Heaven Realm had greatly diminished the joy of his breakthrough.

No choice.

Twenty large Hearts of Spirit Vein equate to two hundred thousand Divine Crystals; if all these God Realm resources were invested in the Divine Path, they could definitely ascend from the current Fourth Level of the God Realm to the Fifth Level.

Even reaching the Sixth Level of the God Realm is very likely.

It's known.

With each advancing realm, the consumption cannot be compared to the previous one.

In comparison.

The same consumption in the Martial Dao only allows a leap from the Third Level of the Cave Heaven to the Fourth Level, illustrating a clear difference.

However—

As the secret collection expanded to over thirty thousand, Shen Changqing could truly feel the transformation of his flesh.

If.

When at the Second Level of the Cave Heaven, attacks below the God Realm could breach the flesh's defense.

Now, having ascended to the Middle Stage of the Third Level of the Cave Heaven, even regular Initial Stage attacks of the God Realm are no longer a threat to him.

Unless.

It's someone like the former Zhongshan Chou, at the extreme of the Initial Stage God Realm, ready to break through to the Fourth Level of the God Realm, entering the Middle Stage powerful enough to pose a threat.

"At the Second Level of the Cave Heaven, my flesh's defense allowed me to remain undefeated below the God Realm level.

Now, ascending to the Third Level of the Cave Heaven guarantees an absolute advantage against the Second Level God Realm and below.

Unless it's a Second Level God Realm with strong foundations or possesses strong Dao Arms, otherwise my flesh's defense is unlikely to be breached."

"Continuing on this trend, if I truly grow in the future, perhaps just relying on the flesh, I can dominate the God Realm!"

This discovery.

Is considered good news for Shen Changqing.

Though the consumption of the Cave Heaven Realm is much more than the God Realm's, the benefits seem equally greater.

Strong defense.

Is merely one aspect of the flesh.

The transformation of the flesh is evident not only in defense but other areas as well.

It can be said.

The God Realm emphasizes Divine Soul growth; the Cave Heaven, on the other hand, integrates Divine Soul and flesh, leading to comprehensive growth.

The process of comprehensive growth requires advancement in all aspects, thus naturally slower.

Yet similarly.

Once comprehensive ascension succeeds, the benefits far outweigh the God Realm.

"In terms of overall strength, although I'm presently at the Third Level of Cave Heaven, my true power surpasses the Fourth Level God Realm Origin I'm borrowing, hence it's considered a decent trump card!"

Shen Changqing pondered.

"But compared to the Heavens' myriad clans now, the Third Level Cave Heaven is still too weak; relying on slow Spiritual Energy enhancement won't cut it, massive resources are required for potential quick ascension."

One hundred thousand Divine Crystals.

Enabled his ascension from Second Level to the Third Level Cave Heaven.

Currently, transitioning from the Middle Stage of the Third Level to the Fourth Level spans two levels.

Moving forward.

Another hundred thousand Divine Crystals are needed to ascend to the Fourth Level Cave Heaven.

That is to say, requiring two pieces of One Origin Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragment for successful ascension.

But the problem is.

The Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragment is an extremely rare item, unless a Divine King falls, obtaining the fragment is impossible.

Instantly.

Shen Changqing fell into contemplation.

"For rapid ascension now, I must obtain a large number of treasures like Hearts of Spirit Vein, and there are only two ways: purchase through other channels or extract them oneself."

Extracting Hearts of Spirit Vein in the Eternal Ancient Continent is currently infeasible.

As for purchasing through other channels, there's no corresponding Divine Crystal support."

"So my top priority now is to earn money, initially obtaining a large number of Divine Crystals, then via other channels purchasing the Hearts of Spirit Vein."

"Although there are numerous ways to earn money, those truly applicable to me now are few."

"I heard the Candle Sect is preparing to start a war with other forces, perhaps I can leverage this opportunity, to see if benefits can be gained."

Clan war!

Definitely not a trivial matter.

Under normal circumstances, while Divine Kings don't typically fall, during clan wars there is such possibility.

Of course.

Typically.

Even in a clan war, rarely do Divine Kings fall unless both sides are fully committed, thus increasing the chance of a Divine King's demise.

However.

Even without a Divine King's fall, it doesn't mean no benefits are available.

In Shen Changqing's perspective, leveraging this opportunity could feasibly secure some benefits.

Before exiting seclusion.

He retrieved a crystal stone from the storage ring.

This was something given by Yun Ying upon leaving the Cloud Smoke Pavilion.

To earn money.

Knowing what's valuable is crucial.

As a renowned force in Myriad Dragons City, the information provided by the Cloud Smoke Pavilion, though not entirely comprehensive, shouldn't contain any major errors.
