Chapter 388: Opportunity and Danger (1)

In the dark underground palace, there was a reddish-gold fluorescence flickering under the black stone. These fluorescence was more like flowing liquid that was crystal clear.


Shen Ping’s heart was in turmoil. He never expected that this stone actually contained the liquid power of a strange beast.


It was unbelievable. After all, the power of strange beasts was an energy that seized the natural luck of heaven and earth. It had all kinds of wonders. Not only could it increase the power of spells, but it could also quickly refine ancient treasures that surpa.s.sed one’s own.


However, it was extremely difficult to obtain this energy. Other than being able to obtain a strand when condensing a beast pattern golden pill, no matter how much blood essence one absorbed, one would be unable to condense a trace of it.


Originally, Shen Ping had been worried about how to obtain the power of the strange beast after it was exhausted. Now, he had effortlessly obtained a crystal formed by the power of the strange beast in the door!


Phew.


Ha.


He took more than ten deep breaths. He returned to the narrow cave he had been in before. Then, he calmly placed his palm on the surface of the crystal under the stone. As he circulated his cultivation technique and activated the strange beast power in his dantian, wisps of the strange beast power in the stone continuously flowed through his meridians and into his dantian.


He sensed the strengthening reddish-gold light.


Shen Ping looked excited. If the ordinary Golden Core magic powers in his dantian were all transformed into the power of a strange beast, his strength would increase explosively. At that time, even if he did not rely on talismans, magic treasures, array formations, and other methods, he could kill Nascent Soul experts!


In just a few breaths, the energy of the strange beast in the stone was exhausted. He had only absorbed ten wisps in total. Compared to the huge amount of magic power of ordinary Golden Core cultivators, these ten wisps of strange beast power were insignificant, but their power far exceeded that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators. Therefore, the excitement on Shen Ping’s face did not decrease at all, and his eyes revealed a dazzling light.


“Since it’s a stone that contains the power of a strange beast, I’ll call it a strange stone. As expected of a strange beast gate with the secret of longevity. It’s indeed magical. If I can find a large number of strange stones, I might be able to use the magical power of a strange beast to condense my Nascent Soul!”


Shen Ping could not help but think. Before, it was difficult for him to condense a second wisp of magical power of the strange beast, so he had never thought of relying on the magical power of the strange beast to break through the subsequent realm. He only used it as a special magical power as his trump card.


However, now that he had discovered that the strange stone could increase the magical power of the strange beast, he naturally wanted to convert all the magical power in his body. At that time, he might become the strongest Golden Core!


Regardless of whether it was the Beast Pattern Golden Core or an ordinary first to nine-patterned Golden Core, magic power was the foundation of a cultivator’s strength.


Previously, Shen Ping only had a wisp of magical power of a strange beast. Therefore, even though he had formed a beast pattern golden core, he was only stronger than other golden cores. When facing Nascent Soul cultivators, he could only rely on talismans, magic weapons, divine powers, and other methods. Therefore, at the end of the day, he was only stronger at the same level as other ordinary golden cores.


However, the appearance of the strange rock gave him the possibility of jumping through the dragon gate.


“Calm down! I can’t be careless.” Although he was excited in his heart, he had not lost his rationality. Since he could casually find a strange stone in the Strange Beast Gate, it could be seen that there was definitely an even greater opportunity and treasure, and the danger accompanying it was definitely extremely terrifying.


Shen Ping did not forget what the Immortal Dao mighty figure had reminded him when he gave him the cultivation method of the Beast Control Heavenly Scripture.


Thinking of this, he got up carefully again. However, just as he was about to go out and investigate the environment and search for the strange stone, the cave he was in collapsed with a bang. Then, flames jumped down from the top of the cave.


Swoosh!


Almost instantly, the Six Shield Talisman on his body was activated. But the Six Shield Talisman that was enough to resist a Divine Transformation cultivator shattered when faced with this flame.


Shen Ping’s pupils constricted. Without thinking, he circulated the magical power of the strange beast into the shield given to him by his master. At the same time, he jumped out of the cave at the fastest speed in his life.


Boom!


The flames spread to the shield, and the surface of the Spiritual Ancient Treasure shield cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and escaped from the cave. Otherwise, in a breath or two, the shield would have shattered like the Six Shield Talisman.


The moment he left the cave, the entire cave turned into lava under the flames. The lava spread in all directions, but not quickly.


“Is this the danger in the Strange Beast Gate…?” Shen Ping watched this scene. His face was filled with lingering fear. If he had been a little slower just now, he would have fused into the lava and died on the spot.


Most importantly, the Spiritual Ancient Treasure-level shield given by his master could only block a little when facing such danger. If he encountered it again, he did not know if the Purple Mystic Jade Spirit Robe on his body could block it!


Thinking of this, his expression darkened. The excitement of searching for the strange stone in his heart dissipated by more than half as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.


Originally, Shen Ping thought that he had a shield, a Purple Mystic Jade Spirit Robe, a Six Shield Talisman, and a Level 5 array disc that he had prepared. Even if he faced a powerful Divine Transformation cultivator, it was enough to save his life. However, after entering the Strange Beast Gate, he realized that these life-saving methods were really too weak.


He was timid and cautious. Now that he did not have enough life-saving means, the urge to leave became even stronger. He only had one life. He would never take risks.


“How should I leave this place?” Shen Ping stepped on the dark rock ground and looked around warily as he pondered. He did not dare to stay in this place. Who knew if another flame would suddenly appear?


After thinking for ten minutes, he immediately felt pain in his feet. He quickly looked down and saw another strange stone. He hurriedly urged the power of the strange beast to put it away, but he was not as excited as before..
