The triumphant return of a large army naturally drew attention from all sides.
This time, the imperial court's move against the Thirteen Sects was not openly proclaimed, but anyone with discernment could see it clearly.

"It hasn't even been two days, and the army has already retreated. Could it be that they ran into trouble at Lei Yin Sect"
“It’s quite possible. The strength of the Leiyin Sect is extraordinary. It would indeed be difficult to suppress them with an army of 10,000.”
Some cultivators, seeing the returning army, couldn't help but shake their heads.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In their view, with the army leaving for just two days before returning, calling it a triumphant return was simply unbelievable.
Less than two days.
Let alone suppressing the Thirteen Sects.
Even the Lei Yin Sect, I estimate, wouldn't be able to solve it.
But.
If the army was defeated, it would be impossible for them to return unscathed. However, at a glance, there were few bloodstains on each soldier, and their numbers had not decreased.
If we talk about defeat.
This shouldn't be the case.
As for the doubts of other cultivators, Marquis Beili didn't pay much attention. After settling his army, he immediately entered the palace to meet Emperor Tianhu.
“I, Bei Li Hou, pay my respects to Your Majesty!”
"How is everything going" asked the Heavenly Tiger Emperor.
Northern Marquis bowed: "Your Majesty, the Thirteen Sects have declared their submission. All first-rank divine abilities have been surrendered and are now in the hands of the Crown Prince. Additionally, the Crown Prince has ordered the Thirteen Sects to pay annual tribute, but specific details still require envoys from the dynasty to discuss."
"Great! Excellent!"
The Heavenly Tiger Emperor was overjoyed.
He didn't expect the Thirteen Sects to choose submission so easily.
This is a simple example of how to use HTML tags.
How deep the Thirteen Sects' foundations are, as the ruler of the Northern Leaving Imperial Dynasty, Emperor Tianhu knows very well.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
That is exactly why.
The Thirteen Clans willingly submit, as there are great benefits for them under the rule of the Northern Departure Imperial Dynasty.
>
Why would the Thirteen Sects submit so easily
The Heaven Tiger Emperor then asked again.
Though he had already guessed that this was related to Shen Changqing, he still needed to ask for clarification.
Beili Hou said: "Lei Yinzong's Lei Yin Ancestor had already broken through to the Hanyu Shenwang realm, but the Saint Son's strength was unparalleled, suppressing him with one hand. Therefore, Lei Yinzong declared its surrender, and the remaining twelve sects had no other choice."
"To speak frankly, the Saint's cultivation truly astounds me!"
Thinking of Shen Changqing single-handedly suppressing the ancestor Lei Yin, his heart couldn't help but tremble again.
Then wait for the strength.
Even if he were to become a divine king someday, he wouldn't be a match for me.
"Lei Yin Ancestor has attained the Dao and become the Heavenly God King!"
Tianhu Huang's expression changed slightly.
As for Shen Changqing suppressing a Heavenly King, he wasn't surprised at all.
With that person's strength, let alone the third realm of God King, even a powerhouse in the fourth realm of God King wouldn't be able to make any waves.
That's all.
I can certainly attest to that myself.
The Heavenly Tiger Emperor suspected that the other party's strength was among the strongest below the Divine Master, comparable to a half-step Divine Master.
So.
Compared to Shen Changqing suppressing a God King of the Third Realm, he was more astonished by Lei Yin Ancestor's successful breakthrough.
A powerful being of the Divine King's Third Realm.
If born in the Bei Li Imperial Dynasty, it would undoubtedly enhance the dynasty's strength and depth.
If a divine king of the third realm were to appear in the sect, then its meaning would be completely different.
At that time.

The imperial authority will undoubtedly be further weakened.
This seesaw effect is detrimental to the imperial rule.
But now it's different.
Shen Changqing suppressed Lei Yin Ancestor, and the Thirteen Sects surrendered to the Bei Li Imperial Dynasty. The original threat has now turned into the foundation of the imperial dynasty, which is undoubtedly a very good thing.
The Heavenly Tiger Emperor smiled and said: "This matter, this emperor already knows. As for the subsequent matters, you don't need to trouble General Hou with them. As for the carrier, this emperor will have a cultivator deliver it to your mansion later."
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generous gift!”
The Marquis of Beili was overjoyed.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This time, he could be said to have not put in much effort at all. He relied entirely on Shen Changqing throughout the whole process.
If it hadn't been for Shen Changqing suppressing the ancestor of Lei Yin, with an army of 10,000, they wouldn't have been able to suppress the Thirteen Sects, let alone face a single Lei Yin Sect.
Therefore.
This time getting this carrying object, it's completely an unexpected surprise.
Heavenly Emperor Tianhu nodded slightly: "The Celestial Dynasty has lost many Divine Kings, and now it should be time for new Divine Kings to emerge. I hope General Hou will succeed in his path of enlightenment one day, and be able to wholeheartedly serve the imperial court."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will dedicate my life to the imperial dynasty!"
>
"With your words, this Emperor can rest assured."
The Heavenly Tiger Emperor waved his hand, dismissing Beili Hou directly.

After he left, Cao Ying was the one who walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty!"
The moment he saw the Heaven Tiger Emperor, this internal affairs manager immediately bowed deeply.
Tianhu Huang said, “Tell me in detail about the specific circumstances of this battle.”
Please note that "" are not standard HTML tags. They might be used for specific purposes in your code or context. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Yes..."
Cao Ying didn't refuse and directly told him everything about the battle.
Until the very end.
He added, "This battle could be won entirely because the Holy Son suppressed the ancestor Lei Yin. The Holy Son's strength is even stronger than usual!"
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
“How the Son fares, this Emperor knows well. You shall bring all thirteen sects' first-grade divine abilities and present them to the Son!”
Tiān Hǔ Huáng did not talk much about Shen Chángqīng's affairs.
>
Seeing this, Cao Ying also did not dare to ask too much.
Inside the palace.
Shen Changqing had just returned when he heard Cao Ying's request to see him, so he immediately allowed the other party in.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"I have seen the Son of God!"
"Cao Gonggong, what brings you here"
“Your Majesty asked me to bring all the top-grade divine abilities that the thirteen sects had handed over, to the Holy Son.” Cao Ying replied truthfully, then respectfully presented Shen Changqing with a storage ring containing the top-grade divine abilities of the thirteen sects.
After witnessing the saint's power, his heart was filled with even greater awe.
The fact that he could suppress the Heavenly King with one hand indicates that the other party's strength is very likely to have reached the level of a Rule God King.
What is this concept
Today, even the most powerful being in the Beili family, the ruler of the Beili Imperial Dynasty, is only at the level of a Rule God.
Even now that he hasn't ascended to the God King realm, he already possesses the strength comparable to a Rule God King. If he were to achieve God Kinghood someday, his power would be even more terrifying.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
If nothing unexpected happens.
This descendant of the Beili clan, is destined to be the next ruler of the dynasty.
Even if Heavenly Tiger Emperor is still in power now, the other party would definitely be highly valued.
Regardless.
In Cao Ying's eyes, Shen Changqing was full of promise.
In the face of such a powerful being, how could he dare to show even the slightest disrespect.
Shen Changqing held the storage ring, a faint smile on his face: "Thank you, Lord Cao!"
“It’s nothing. If the Saint Child has any other orders, just give them to me. If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave.”
Cao Ying finished speaking, then bowed deeply once more before slowly withdrawing.
Once the other party left, Shen Changqing effortlessly infused his divine sense into the storage ring, immediately understanding everything stored within it.
Compared to the first-grade divine abilities given by thirteen sects like Lei Yin Sect, there were only fourteen divine abilities in the storage ring.
That's it.
He was not surprised.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
The Thirteen Sects, who were the first to heed the order of the Northern Leaving Imperial Dynasty, were considered the weakest among the twenty-six Sects in terms of strength and foundation.
In comparison.
The thirteen Sects, with the Leiyin Sect at the forefront, who dared to defy the orders of the Beili Imperial Dynasty, are the strongest group among the twenty-six Sects.
> That is precisely why, being the strongest, they have the audacity to defy the Imperial edict.
It's a pity.
The Thirteen Sects were only a step behind, but they never expected to become the celestial pride of the Bei Li Clan. Otherwise, with Lei Yin Ancestor, a powerful figure in the third realm of the Divine King, leading them, the Bei Li Dynasty wouldn't have been able to suppress the situation for a while.
"Originally there were twenty Divine Abilities, plus the fourteen Divine Abilities now, that makes a total of thirty-four Divine Abilities for me!"
Shen Changqing silently nodded.
With the addition of thirty-four supernatural powers, his own number of supernatural powers could reach around two hundred and seventy-nine. After collecting some more, entering the three hundred range should not be a problem.
The Three Thousand Laws.
If one can comprehend three hundred laws, then the path to condensing the core of the heavenly cave would be considered complete even if only one tenth of it is achieved.
This is quite an accomplishment.
“The source points are exactly thirty-nine left. Wanting to upgrade all thirty-four divine abilities to the law level is not a problem, but that's all for now. More source points must be collected later!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing's eyes flickered.
The harvesting point is reached.
It certainly can't be placed on the Bei Li clan as the target.
Looking at the myriad celestial races, there are many gods. There must be one that suits your needs.
Moreover—
The Beili clan should have a blood pool. I should find time to enter it sometime later.
Shen Changqing had truly experienced the benefits of the blood pool.
Not only can it enhance one's own strength, but it can also nourish the spiritual herbs of the Heavenly Cave.
I'm just not sure how the Beili clan's blood pool compares to that of the Ziyun clan. If it's about the same as theirs, or even slightly weaker, then the help it could provide me would be minimal.
But even if the help is not great, the role of the blood pool cannot be ignored.
By this stage, even the slightest increase in his power would be incredibly difficult to achieve.

I thought of this.
Shen Changqing settled his mind and no longer paid attention to other matters. Instead, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to comprehending the thirty-four divine abilities he had just received.

Primeval Continent.
The war smoke of the Ziyun Sect had yet to fully dissipate when a new war was sparked.
Nanyang Zong is located.
One after another, protective formations rose up, encompassing the entire mountain range of millions of miles within their protection.
Outside the Nanyang Zong, powerful cultivators belonging to the Ziyun clan continuously attacked the formation. Their terrifying power shattered the void and shook the formation relentlessly.
Inside Nanyang Zong.

The headmaster of Nanyang Sect, his face darkened, stated: "The Ziyun clan came this time with great force, clearly wanting to avenge the Nanyang Sect's previous siege of the Ziyun Sect. Now that news has been sent back to their clan, I believe it won't be long before powerful reinforcements arrive!"
He looked down at the elders below, who were all pale with fear. He was filled with a great deal of dissatisfaction and anger.

Nanyang Sect Master didn't understand.
With so many forces besieging the Ziyunzong, why did the Ziyun clan specifically target Nanyangzong
Besides.
That Purple Cloud Saint Son fell into the hands of the Beili Clan. Even if the Purple Cloud Clan truly wanted revenge, they should first target the Beili Clan.
Now the Ziyun clan has taken the lead in attacking Nanyang Zong, leaving him completely unprepared.s gleamed with anticipation. In their gaze, the void twisted and collapsed violently, revealing a bronze doorway emanating an eerie aura.When the Red Lotus God King's gaze fell on the bronze gate, a...
