Shen Changqing's expression changed slightly. The news he got from Dongfang Zhao completely overturned his previous understanding of martial arts.
Before this, he had always thought that there were other realms above the master level.
If the earth-level demon slayer is a master, then the heaven-level demon slayer should be a master or above. As for the guardian slayer, he is completely superior to the heaven-level demon slayer.
But.
Dongfang Zhao's words immediately shattered this conjecture.
turn out to be.
Grandmaster is the ultimate limit for a warrior.
but
Shen Changqing looked at the guardian in front of him. In his perception, the other person's aura was like an abyss, which he could not guess at all.
"Based on what Dongfang Governor said, if a master is the ultimate warrior, what about the guardian envoy?"
"If I read it correctly, the strength of Dongfang Guard cannot be compared to that of a mere grandmaster!"
Facing inquiries.
Dongfang Zhao looked calm.
"Strictly speaking, a guardian is also a master, but he is not exactly a master. When you have the opportunity to become a guardian in the future, you will naturally understand the difference.
Moreover, the way to become a guardian envoy is a secret, a secret that cannot be told.
If you have the opportunity to become a guardian envoy in the future, you must strictly keep this secret. If anyone leaks it without authorization, even the guardian envoy will not be able to escape responsibility."
The tone of his voice did not fluctuate much, but Shen Changqing could hear a strong murderous intention from it.
Obviously.
Guardian envoys are indeed different from warriors.
After Dongfang Zhao finished speaking, he asked the next question.
"How can I become a guardian envoy?"
"When the true meaning of your spiritual system is manifested, and then your physical body is equipped with the sound of tiger, leopard and thunder, it is possible to become a guardian envoy."
Dongfang Zhao said.
True meaning manifested!
Tiger and leopard thunder sound!
Shen Changqing took a look at his own situation and found that he had already achieved the latter condition, but he still fell short of the level of manifesting his true intention.
Next.
He did not ask any more questions, but slowly digested what Dongfang Zhao said.
Warrior's limit!
Two major systems!
These things were all things Shen Changqing didn't know before.
Only when Dongfang Zhao opened his mouth did he understand that it turned out that the master warrior was the limit. The further the two major systems went, the stronger their strength became. The so-called division of the middle and late stages of the master was not completely accurate.
If a mid-stage master who has gone very far in manifesting his true meaning will also kill the late-stage master who has mastered the sound of tiger, leopard and thunder.
"Okay, if you don't have anything to ask for now, you don't have to think about it in a hurry. With your talent, it won't be that difficult to meet the guardian envoy in the future. If you have anything you don't understand, you can come to me or add it to the library. Court inquiry.
The library collects articles from all over the world and exquisite martial arts. Nine out of ten things in the world are recorded there."
Dongfang Zhao's gentle voice sounded.
Nine times out of ten it is there, which means there are still things that cannot be recorded.
How to become a guardian envoy is one of them.
There was a pause.
Dongfang Zhao said: "You killed the barbarian general. The situation in the court is urgent now, so there is no way to give a reward, but the Demon Suppressor can give you a corresponding reward.
After all, if you have contributed to the Qin Dynasty and to the human race, the Demon Suppressor will never be stingy."
"Answering your questions earlier is one of the rewards. There are two remaining rewards. The first reward is to make you eligible to enter Qianxin Pavilion to practice hard. You don't need to complete the fixed tasks every year like ordinary demon slayers.
The second reward is to give you three hundred merit points."
Shen Changqing didn't know the origin of Qianxin Pavilion, but three hundred merit points were real benefits.
A evil-level monster will give you ten to thirty points of merit.
In other words.
Killing ten monsters that are comparable to the peak of a grandmaster will only give you 300 points of merit.
Calculate it this way.
Three hundred merit points is an extremely generous reward.
The Lengyue Sword on his waist is already considered a magic weapon, but it only cost eight merit points to exchange for it.
The Demon Suppressing Division has given these meritorious deeds. If used properly, Shen Changqing feels that he can fully arm himself and raise his overall strength to a higher level.
"I dare to ask Dongfang Guards, what kind of place is Qianxin Pavilion? Is it true that after entering Qianxin Pavilion, I will no longer be able to accept missions?"
He asked a question that was more concerning to his heart.
Three hundred points of merit is a good thing, but Shen Changqing has to find out what the origin of Qianxin Pavilion is.
For ordinary people.
Not having to travel is undoubtedly a good thing.
Because there is no mission, it means that the risk factor will be much lower.
But.
For Shen Changqing, not completing missions proves that there is no killing value.
If he didn't earn any kill points, he would have little room for improvement by relying on his hard training. Now his martial arts has already broken through the limits to an extent that is beyond recognition.
According to Dongfang Zhao.
If the Grandmaster is the limit, Shen Changqing doubts that the martial arts level of Cangshuge will not be much higher.
Thus.
Subsequent improvements can really only rely on kill value.
"The ultimate warrior!"
"I have a panel and kill points, so I may not be able to try to break the limit."
Shen Changqing was thinking secretly in his heart, but on the surface he was calm.
the other side.
Zhou Yuanzheng said nothing from the beginning to the end, just like a spectator, silently watching the conversation between the two.
But when Dongfang Zhao mentioned the reward, his eyes changed slightly.
Like anger.
It seems helpless.
Dongfang Zhao replied with a smile: "You just don't have to carry out the task when you enter Qianxin Pavilion. If you want to perform the task, there are no restrictions from the Suppressing Demon Division. In addition, Qianxin Pavilion is a good place that cannot be compared with other halls.
Just like the limit of a warrior, Qianxin Pavilion has been studying how to break it.
You have reached the level of tiger, leopard and thunder at a young age. I arranged for you to enter the Qianxin Pavilion so that you can have the opportunity to break the limit in the future and accomplish this achievement that no one has ever been able to accomplish."
Finished.
Dongfang Zhao silently added one sentence in his heart: Although this possibility is slim, it is still a hope.
"So, Qianxin Pavilion is a good place."
"That's natural. How many demon slayers have tried hard to enter Qianxin Pavilion, but unfortunately they have no way to succeed. After all, not everyone can enter Qianxin Pavilion.
You need to have a certain amount of merit, but you also need to have enough talent.
This talent can be wisdom that is incomparable to ordinary people, or it can be an outstanding martial arts talent. You must have one of the two to enter Qianxin Pavilion."
The words spoken by Dongfang Zhao gave Shen Changqing a better understanding of Qianxin Pavilion.
As early as in the past.
He had never heard of the name Qianxin Pavilion.
"I am willing to enter Qianxin Pavilion!"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Changqing nodded in agreement.
At least based on current understanding, entering Qianxin Pavilion is not a bad thing.
There is no mandatory task execution, but it does not restrict the Demon Slayer from taking the task. This is obviously a good thing.
in addition.
Qianxin Pavilion has studied how to break the limits of warriors, which is what he needs.
Even if he has a panel on his body, Shen Changqing feels that as long as the killing value is sufficient, he can definitely break the limit.
But.
A conjecture is just a conjecture after all, without any substantial evidence.
If the panel cannot allow you to break the limit, then entering the Qianxin Pavilion will allow you to find the corresponding method.
Let’s take a step back.
Even if you really can't break the limit, you can still find a way to become a guardian when your true intention becomes manifest, and your strength will also increase in that way.
Look at it from several aspects.
Shen Changqing could not find a reason why he refused to join.
"good!"
Dongfang Zhao nodded with satisfaction.
"Someone will find you in three days and lead you to Qianxin Pavilion. There is no time limit in these three days. You can go to the Demon Suppressing Division or the capital. But after three days, I hope you stay in the Demon Suppressing Division.
Otherwise, the people from Qianxin Pavilion will not be able to find you when they come, and there will be unnecessary trouble."
"My subordinate understands."
"This is three hundred meritorious deeds, take it!"
Dongfang Zhao waved his hand and saw that the golden light did not go away.
Shen Changqing stretched out his hand to take it, and saw that the golden light just stopped when it touched his palm, without any extra power leaking out.
What a powerful control!
I was slightly startled, and then I opened my palm, where there were three light golden demon-suppressing coins.
"Light gold demon-suppressing coin, one coin is equivalent to one hundred meritorious deeds."
Dongfang Zhao explained calmly.
One is equal to one hundred merits, three is equal to three hundred merits.
On the three demon-suppressing coins, Shen Changqing also felt a surge of true energy, which was obviously the true energy left by the strong men in front.
Just look at the fluctuations.
The strong person who left his true energy behind is most likely at the master level.
He solemnly put away the demon-suppressing coins, and clasped his fists in thanks.
"Thank you Dongfang Guards."
"If nothing happens, you can go back first."
"yes!"
Watching Shen Changqing leave the main hall, Zhou Yuanzheng's indifferent expression turned into a smile.
"Three hundred meritorious service, you are willing to pay for it!"
Such a number of meritorious deeds is an astronomical figure for the demon slayer, and it is also a considerable expense for the guardian.
This feat.
It was obviously not from the imperial court, and the reward was paid out of Dongfang Zhao's own pocket.
Hearing the words,
Dongfang Zhao smiled bitterly: "Don't rub salt in my wounds, but rewards must be given, otherwise it would be disloyalty. Now that the court is unwilling to give them, we can only bear them ourselves."
"Achievement is a small matter, but the imperial court is a big deal. Your Majesty is targeting our Suppressing Demon Division at this court meeting. I'm afraid there will be other moves later. If we don't handle it well, I'm afraid the Suppressing Demon Division will be in turmoil."
Zhou Yuan Zhengyi had something to say.
Merit is just a trivial matter, he can get three hundred meritorious deeds, Dongfang Zhao can also get it.
But what about the future.
If the imperial court makes another move, it will cost more than just 300 meritorious services.
Dongfang Zhao's smile disappeared and his face became calm.
"We will discuss the future matters later. For now, take it one step at a time. Your Majesty is wise and will not go too far. Now that evil spirits are rampant, even if the Demon Suppressor is ostracized, it will not be too difficult."
