Inside the side hall.

Shen Changqing took the main seat, while Cui Fu stood in the center.

The other party had already transformed into the bloodline of the Zhongshan Clan. Although there was no apparent change, the realm had already made another breakthrough.

Saint Rank Perfection!

Already qualified for a breakthrough to the God Realm.

"What is the purity of your bloodline?"

Shen Changqing asked calmly.

Upon hearing this.

Cui Fu lowered his head and replied, "I must disappoint you, Peak Master. My bloodline purity is only about three percent."

Despite saying this.

He was already very satisfied.

The strength of the Zhongshan Clan's bloodline shocked this Steward of Qiu Peak.

Even with only three percent bloodline purity, at the moment of true transformation, it still allowed his realm to break through from the original middle stage Saint Entry perfection to now complete Saint Entry.

Such a breakthrough.

Directly saved him from many years of arduous cultivation.

Moreover.

Having the Zhongshan Clan bloodline, his foundation was already much stronger than before.

If both were in the same complete Saint Entry, Cui Fu was confident he could suppress his former self.

Furthermore.

Once he breaks through to the God Realm, he will be able to master the innate divine abilities of the Zhongshan Clan.

Divine King-level innate divine abilities.

They are extraordinarily powerful means indeed.

The reason why the Zhongshan Clan is strong, and why Divine Realm powerhouses can challenge across ranks, is largely due to innate divine abilities. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

It can be said.

Upon entering and emerging from the Rebirth Pool once, the benefits Cui Fu received made him feel that even if his former self ascended to the God Realm, the benefits wouldn't compare to now.

"Three percent is quite good."

Shen Changqing nodded.

Three percent bloodline purity in the Zhongshan Clan is indeed considered good. Many cultivators within the clan don't even reach one percent bloodline purity.

However.

Those cultivators are mediocre. They are not qualified for entry into the Candle Sect.

Disciples like Zhongshan Chou have bloodline purity above twenty percent.

"During my retreat, has anything happened?"

Shen Changqing asked as usual.

Upon this matter.

Cui Fu's expression became more solemn: "Yes, I dared not disturb the Peak Master during your retreat. Half a month ago, the Yan Emperor of the White Jade Clan personally attacked, striking Sky Peak Divine King in the Void Battlefield, severely injuring the Divine King.

Later, when the Divine King retreated from the Void Battlefield, he was pursued by the Yan Emperor. Although there is no outcome yet, there are reports of occasional heavenly waves in the void, suspected to be battles involving the Divine King.

I suspect that the Sky Peak Divine King didn't manage to escape but is entangled with the Yan Emperor."

"What about the Sect Master?"

Shen Changqing's heart stirred, though his brow furrowed outwardly.

Sky Peak Divine King.

He was an illustrious elder Divine King of the Zhongshan Clan, his reputation nearly on par with the Mi Shui Divine King, presumably on the same level.

Regarding the Yan Emperor.

As a ruler of a clan, being able to severely injure the Sky Peak Divine King, he's likely at least of the Universe Divine King level, possibly even a Rule Divine King.

If that's the case, the Zhongshan Clan's Divine King's predicament is dire.

Cui Fu shook his head: "Rumors suggest the Sect Master and others were also intercepted by other Divine Kings, momentarily unable to free themselves; most likely—"

He hesitated to continue.

But now, it was apparent that the Zhongshan Clan's Sky Peak Divine King is truly in trouble.

Being targeted by a clan's ruler, if no other Divine King intervenes, the likelihood of demise is high.

Even if not fallen.

Merely being severely injured, recovery won't be possible without thousands of years.

"So, now Divine Kings from each clan have appeared on the void battlefield?"

"Indeed."

Cui Fu nodded, his expression deeply serious.

"According to reports, Divine Kings from various clans have descended, and the warfare between clans has reached an intense stage; so far, no new Divine King has fallen."

"Hmm."

Shen Changqing understood.

Clearly.

The White Jade Clan was pushed to the brink, hence the direct assault on Sky Peak Divine King.

And naturally, the Zhongshan Clan wouldn't idly watch an elder Divine King fall; at this time, they must lend aid.

The Zhongshan Clan moves.

The White Jade Clan will surely deploy other forces to block them.

Both clans are intrinsically linked.

Consequently.

Other Divine Kings have all entered the fray.

A Divine King taking action.

Indicates the potential acquisition of Divine Kingdom fragments.

However—

Shen Changqing temporarily abandoned the notion of directly entering the void battlefield now.

The reason.

The current situation is different from before.

Now that all Divine Kings are involved, the situation has reached its most severe state; if a powerful adversary targets him now, the Zhongshan Clan might not be able to intervene.

If it were so.

The risk of demise would greatly increase.

It's not conceit.

Shen Changqing genuinely felt that ever since the last battle on the void battlefield, he must be on the list of many clans.

If given the chance.

Those clans wouldn't mind nipping the so-called Zhongshan Clan genius in the bud.

Of course.

The void battlefield is certainly a place to visit, but not now; he must have sufficient certainty to enter the void battlefield.

No other requirements.

At the very least, to ensure surviving against a Divine Realm Perfection powerhouse.

As for surviving against a Divine King, that aspiration will remain unmet for now.

While Shen Changqing was deep in thought.

Suddenly.

From above the firmament, a sound resembling the collapse of the heavens was heard, followed by a mournful and angry roar of a Fierce Beast.
