Chapter 79: Iron Sand Palm Mastery
ttlefield and vanishing into thin air.As abruptly as they arrived, they departed."Many thanks for your assistance in this battle, Your Majesty!"Li Kaiyang condensed the sea of blood, appearing before...The next day.
Before dawn had fully broken, Shen Changqing ended his meditation.
Coming into the yard.
After absorbing the first ray of purple qi from heaven and earth, he began another round of arduous cultivation.
In the blink of an eye.
It has been three months since.
During this time, Shen Changqing was diligently practicing the three martial arts. Day after day, he barely did anything else.
During this period.
He also wanted to cultivate his invincible golden body.

After thinking it over, Shen Changqing readily gave up.
There's no way.

The undefeated golden body of the sixth layer is already extraordinarily profound. To continue breaking through to the seventh layer, normally it would take several years, or even decades of effort, and it would be impossible to achieve in any shorter time frame.
Even if you spend several months practicing in seclusion, the gains won't be very significant.
Therefore, Shen Changqing readily abandoned his original plan.
And then.
He had completed the mission of guarding Lin'an City, and wouldn't have to go on any diplomatic missions for the next year.
For three months, no one has disturbed him.
It was Jiang Feng who came to see him after completing the task, and then never came again.
Now.
Shen Changqing's panel also underwent some changes.

"After three months of intensive cultivation, the Hundred Battles Blade Technique has entered the third layer, but it is only a barely passable entry. There is still a long way to go before it reaches a state of complete mastery."
"Having walked the seven layers of heaven's net, I've stepped into the second layer. But the greatest progress isn't there, it's with my Iron Sand Palm."
Here's the translated text, preserving the HTML tags:

Shen Changqing's mind withdrew from the panel.
Over the past three months, his greatest gain has been that Iron Sand Palm has almost reached perfection.
Five-layer Iron Sand Palm, it has now reached the fourth layer, and it is only a short distance from the fifth layer.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's amazing how much progress has been made.
At the bottom line, it is because Shen Changqing's physical body was strong enough to endure the iron sand tempering for a long time.
Otherwise.
>
It is impossible to take Tie Sand Palm from the third level directly to a state of near perfection within three months.

"It's better to master one skill than be mediocre in many."
"With the Iron Sand Palm now nearly perfected, I can focus all my effort on mastering it."
A fire pit was set up in the small courtyard, and a large iron pot was placed on top of it.
The iron wok was filled with iron sand, steam billowing from it, as if it could even distort one's vision.
Shen Changqing was shirtless, his palms plunged into the iron sand, flipping and stirring. The intense heat and friction of the iron sand made his palms slightly flushed red.

That's it.

He didn't care about anything else, his whole being was immersed in the cultivation within the iron sand.
Shen Changqing could clearly feel.
>
One's own hands, in the burning hot iron sand, are undergoing a fierce metamorphosis.
That kind of metamorphosis.
It made him feel an itch, yet a burning heat that was hard to bear. Even his invincible golden body from the sixth layer seemed like it couldn't withstand it.
The hotter it got, the harder Shen Changqing endured it.
Because he understood, this was a sign that the Iron Sand Palm was about to reach its full potential.
The sun is shining brightly.
The scorching sun beat down, making Shen Changqing sweat.
Suddenly.
Hands placed within the iron sand, the temperature rapidly ascended. The internal heat seemed to madly surge towards the palms.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
That feeling caused his face to contort slightly.
>
It hurts!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Since my external power has become strong, the only time I've felt this kind of pain is when fighting powerful demons. There's nothing else like it.
Although the cultivation of Iron Sand Palm was also difficult before, it was definitely not as painful as this moment.
Shen Changqing endured the pain, allowing his hands to transform within the iron sand.
I don't know how long ago it was.
His arms trembled violently, and the hot air that had penetrated them all retreated. Immediately afterward, the iron pot shook abruptly and shattered into five pieces, scattering iron sand across the floor.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Iron sand scattered.
Shen Changqing was unconcerned.
Because his gaze, had already been completely drawn in by his own hands.
Only the normal-colored hands were visible under the scorching sun, as if they had gained a hint of steel-like sheen.
Next.
>
Shen Changqing urged his true qi, his hands instantly turning dark. A strong heat gathered in the palm of his hand, as if it could erupt at any moment.
"Cheers!"
With a light shout, he struck both palms directly onto a wooden post beside him.
Step back two paces and withdraw your hand.
One could see on the stake's surface, there were already two pitch-black handprints, a smell of burnt ash emanating from them.
Lowering his gaze to his palm, the pale red color gradually faded.
"Normal cultivation of Tie Sha Zhang requires specific medicinal liquor as an aid. Otherwise, fire poison will invade the body, causing internal injuries. In severe cases, it can become a chronic illness that cannot be cured."
However, I have mastered the external techniques and skipped this step, so there's no need to worry about the fire poison entering my body.
Now that I have mastered the Iron Sand Palm, my palms are infused with venomous fire. When this fire is struck against a wooden stake, it can burn it to ash. If it were to strike a human, the consequences would be self-evident.
Even against demons, it can be somewhat effective.
Shen Changqing smiled.
The martial arts of Tie Shazhang, while not particularly high in rank, are about the same level as the original Qi Sha Knife Technique.
But now that his palm techniques have reached mastery, their power has increased exponentially.
Especially the fire poison in his palms, coupled with the pure yang power of the Heavenly Martial Qi, complement each other perfectly, and the power they can exert is unparalleled.
Demonic evil, utmost yin, utmost cold.
Iron Sand Palm, however, belongs to masculine martial arts. The two can be considered mutually restraining.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
“Yin and yang in nature are mutually restraining, but if yin energy becomes too strong, it can extinguish yang energy. Similarly, if yang energy is too powerful, it can easily destroy yin energy. The restraint of the two depends on which is stronger.”
Just like demons, as sinister things, are not afraid of sunlight.
Although sunlight can be considered a type of yang energy, it is not strong enough to have any impact on powerful malevolent spirits.
A fully developed Iron Sand Palm is likely not very effective against demons and monsters. But, if it's combined with Heaven-Martial Qi, then it's a completely different story.
Shen Changqing looked at his hands, feeling very satisfied.
The Iron Sand Palm has reached its peak.
His strength has reached a new level.
In this way, in the innate realm, there would be even fewer people who could stand against him.
"It's a pity—"
“Even if I had mastered the Iron Sand Palm, I wouldn't have been able to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts from it. Otherwise, I might already be a master-level expert!”
Shen Changqing, besides being happy, also felt a tinge of regret.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Even now, he still couldn't comprehend the true meaning of martial arts.
It is said that when martial arts reach a profound level, one can comprehend the true meaning of the martial way.
Even though the Iron Sand Palm technique was perfected, no true meaning of martial arts emerged.
Here's the translation:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
For a moment.
Shen Changqing was even more curious about the true meaning of martial arts.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
"If there's a chance, I could try to find some martial arts masters to learn from, but right now, I don't know any of those Earth-rank demon hunters."
Since arriving at the Demon Suppression Division, he had never stayed in his own place to cultivate.
Apart from the newcomers who just arrived, there aren't many people who are really familiar with each other.
Now almost the past.
At the beginning, most of those familiar faces perished in missions. Not many were truly able to be promoted, and none managed to ascend to the rank of Martial Arts Master.
Don't talk about martial arts masters.
Even at the congenital realm, none of them exist.
At first, Shen Changqing thought of Zhou Yuan who he had met before.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
But he thought about it and still gave up the idea of asking the other party for advice.
The main reason.
>
It's just that I'm not familiar with Zhou Yuan.
To put it simply, I'm just a small Yellow Rank demon slayer, while Zhou Yuan is a Guardian General. There are several ranks between us.
Don't say it's nice to meet you.
Shen Changqing estimated that as soon as he stepped into the council hall, he would be intercepted.
“Iron Sand Palm perfected is considered a formidable martial art. If it could be fused with other palm techniques, it would surely become even more powerful.”
And when it comes to the perfectly refined Iron Sand Palm, if it's fused with a martial art that hasn't even reached its introductory level, then the primary direction of fusion would be centered around the Iron Sand Palm.
This way—I won't have to worry about the Fire Venom of the Iron Sand Palm being merged away.
The fusion of two martial arts made him realize that fusion only makes martial arts stronger.
However.
After incorporating the Hundred Battles Sword Technique, Shen Changqing had no further thoughts of merging it with other techniques.
It's very simple.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Martial arts are not necessarily better as the level increases.
Like the Hundred Battles Sword Technique, which cannot increase its killing value, the deeper the fusion, the slower the improvement. If one cannot transform martial arts into their own strength, then even the most profound martial arts will be useless.
So.
Unless he thoroughly masters the Hundred Battles Sword Technique, Shen Changqing won't integrate other sword techniques in the short term.
The same.
The Heaven-Net Stepping is the same.
Moreover, the higher the rank of martial arts before fusion, the higher the starting point of the fused martial arts.
As for the invincibility—
Shen Changqing thought about it and didn't plan to merge this martial art for the time being.
One is that the invincibility aura is not perfect, and now it needs to be fused and upgraded, consuming Slaughter Points and increasing strength. If you calculate carefully, it may not be worth it.
The second point is that the Indestructible Golden Body merges into the next level, and the consumption of killing value is undoubtedly more. With its current killing value, it cannot meet the requirement.
He thought long and hard.

Only now, with the complete Iron Sand Palm, would it be a suitable fusion target.
>
Make a decision.
Shen Changqing left the courtyard he hadn't stepped out of for several months and walked towards the library pavilion.
Showing his ID card, he went in smoothly.
As soon as he entered the library, he went straight to the second floor.
After spending some time inside, Shen Changqing emerged from the library with a new martial art under his belt.

Opening Mountain Palm Technique!
Compared to Iron Sand Palm, this martial art has a higher upper limit for growth, but it is more inclined to deal with ordinary warriors. Unlike Iron Sand Palm, which can condense fire poison after reaching its peak and cause some damage to demons.
He received a new martial art.
Shen Changqing had no intention of practicing cultivation. Instead, he continued to research the Hundred Battles Sword Technique and the Heavenly Net Step. change made Shen Changqing frown. He was originally fighting against the Jade River God Monarch, but now he had to disperse some of his strength to deal with the attack.The Jade River God also seized...
