Sword Seal City.
The True Treasure Pavilion branch.
After three months, Fairy Luo Xia came to visit again. She sat on the guest seat in the private room on the second floor. The gauze dress that was taut on her b.u.t.t revealed her tall and slender legs. Her faintly discernible skin was fair and moist. It was impossible to tell that she had cultivated for more than ten thousand years.
When Shen Ping walked into the private room, Fairy Luo Xia, who had the ability to retain her youth, hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, “The disciple compet.i.tion of the various sects is about to begin. I wonder if Pavilion Master Shen is willing to go with me.”
Shen Ping cupped his hands and said, “I was invited by Senior Yue to begin with. I should naturally accompany you.” After briefly instructing An Zhiyuan to take care of Jing Huilan and the others, he quickly left with Fairy Luo Xia on a flying magic treasure.
This compet.i.tion was held at the top of the Jade Phoenix Peak. Although it was a battle between the disciples of the various sects of the human race in Sword Seal City, they had also invited the high-level Void Refinement Realm experts of the other races to watch the ceremony.
After five minutes, the magic treasure landed on the top of the Jade Phoenix Peak. Dozens of cultivators from various races had already taken their seats. When Shen Ping and Fairy Luo Xia sat down one after another, many cultivators looked sideways. After all, Shen Ping’s Divine Transformation cultivation aura was very conspicuous beside a group of Void Refinement Realm experts.
“It’s the pavilion master of the True Treasure Pavilion.”
“So it’s him.”
“That Shi Hu was killed by this person.”
“Hmph, he’s only relying on the power of a powerful Dharma treasure. What right does a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator have to watch the ceremony with us?”
Whispers rose and fell. Shen Ping’s expression did not change. He did not care about these voices at all. Beside him, Fairy Luo Xia sent a voice transmission, “Pavilion Master Shen, there’s no need to pay attention to such words. With your strength and methods, you’re enough to watch this.”
After a while, a few Void Refinement Realm human cultivators walked over from the viewing platform one after another. They also took a few more glances at Shen Ping. Shen Ping stood up and bowed. “Greetings, seniors.”
The Void Refinement Realm cultivators of the other races had ugly expressions. Shen Ping had not bowed to them just now.
“You’re the pavilion master of the True Treasure Pavilion, right? Not bad. Killing that Shi Hu is ridding of a huge disaster for Gray Stone City. If Ancestor Jing knew in the netherworld, he would definitely be grateful.”
A fat old man among the few Void Refinement Realm human cultivators sat on Shen Ping’s right. As he spoke, he introduced himself. “I’m Elder Qu of the Cloud Sword Sect. The Jing family’s ancestor is my good friend. Unfortunately, I can’t avenge my good friend!”
Shen Ping was enlightened.
The fat old man continued, “The various forces in Sword Seal City are complicated. A slight move will affect the entire situation. Our human race is weak now. If I do anything, it will definitely attract the experts of the Devil Clan and the Spirit Clan. Little Friend Shen’s appearance has really made me feel relieved.”
He took out a token carved with the word ‘Yun’ and handed it to Shen Ping. “If you have any trouble in the future, you can look for me.”
Shen Ping calmly took the token. After thanking this elder, he began to communicate with him. During the conversation, he vaguely said that Fairy Luo Xia had attacked previously.
Elder Qu glanced at Fairy Luo Xia. “Little friend Shen, I’m afraid there’s more to this matter. Fairy Luo Xia has always had a good reputation in Sword Seal City and is good at making friends. The disciples of Luo Xia Peak often interact with other sects. If there’s no reason, they definitely won’t attack you.
“Of course, everyone covets a treasure that can kill a Void Refinement Realm great demon. However, for us Void Refinement Realm experts of the human race, if we rashly obtain such a treasure, we will attract fire to ourselves. Sword Seal City is no longer the era of our human race.”
Shen Ping raised his eyebrows. “Elder Qu, who do you think is behind this?”
“It’s most likely related to the Black Tiger King. The Black Tiger King is behind Shi Hu of Gray Stone City. He’s powerful and can be ranked in the top three among the Body Integration cultivators of Sword Seal City.” Elder Qu said.
Shen Ping nodded to himself, but he did not believe everything.
After a while, the disciple compet.i.tion of the various sects officially began. He watched the battles of the young cultivators in the arena with relish. “The cultivation of the younger generation of the Cloud Sword Sect is not bad!” When it was the Cloud Sword Clan’s turn, he praised them.
Elder Qu smiled, then shook his head and said, “It’s indeed not bad to be able to cultivate to the Golden Core at this age, but compared to the Devil Clan, the Spirit Clan, and the other juniors, it’s not just a small difference.
“After the appearance of the Myriad Spirit Ranking, the juniors of the races ranked at the front have surpa.s.sed us humans in terms of comprehension of spells and control over divine powers, especially the Spirit Race. Once they break through to the Golden Core realm, they will automatically awaken a divine power.
“On the other hand, only extremely talented juniors of our human race can cultivate a divine power in the Golden Core realm.”
Shen Ping was silent. The effect of having divine powers and not having divine powers on a cultivator was worlds apart. In other words, when he was in the Foundation Establishment realm, he could kill Golden Cores with the divine powers obtained from the virtual interface. Talisman Dao Mystique was his strongest reliance.
Even in the era when humans were flourishing, it was very difficult for Golden Core cultivators to master a divine power. Most of them could only barely cultivate a divine power at the Nascent Soul realm.
The disciples of the various sects in the arena were still fighting, but Shen Ping was a little dispirited.
He only watched the ceremony for two days, then he informed Elder Qu and left the Jade Phoenix Peak. Halfway through, Fairy Luo Xia caught up with him. “Pavilion Master Shen, are you leaving Sword Seal City?”
Shen Ping simply floated in the air. When Fairy Luo Xia stood beside him, he asked directly, “Senior Yue, are you under the command of the Black Tiger King to deal with me?”
Fairy Luo Xia was not surprised. She smiled and said, “Yes, it was indeed the Black Tiger King’s instructions.. The Black Tiger King is powerful, and I, Luo Xia Peak, was able to gain a foothold in Sword Seal City because of his kindness back then, so…”
