Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“That’S right. The ones we have to be careful of now are the special races. They’re the real threat. Don’t forget about the Beast Spirit Ranking.” Top-notch Beast Spirit Treasures and the supreme treasure made the four races understand one thing. In the Strange Beast Gate, prodigies were the future.
The Venerable Sovereigns of the various races even specially instructed the prodigies of their races, “There are still more than 300 years until the next Beast Spirit Ranking compet.i.tion. You must seize the time to comprehend the concept of the strange beast and the power of the strange beast. If there’s a chance for Realm Sea Peak to comprehend it, use it as soon as possible.”
The disturbance in the Immortal Dao territory had nothing to do with Shen Ping. After taking out two Beast Pattern Golden Fruits and giving them to Venerable Sovereign, he received more than a hundred Taiyi Void Immortal Talismans. This was much more than trading with Immortal Venerable Qi and Immortal Venerable Yu in the palace world. Of course, the two of them had obviously given him other things to make up for it.
“Master, aren’t 100 immortal talismans a little too little?”
Shen Ping felt that it was too little.
Lian Xuejin said speechlessly, “These are immortal talismans. They’re different from ordinary spirit talismans in the lower realm, especially the Taiyi Void Immortal Talisman. Although it’s not troublesome to make, the materials are very precious. Having a hundred of them has already emptied the acc.u.mulation of those Immortal Venerables. However, don’t worry. The Venerable Sovereign said that due to time constraints, he can only give you a hundred temporarily. If you need them in the future, he will continue to give them.”
Only then was Shen Ping satisfied. A hundred Taiyi Void Immortal Talismans were enough for a period of time. The gap between him and those prodigies would gradually shorten. After all, Yin Ting had said that in the Winged Race, Beast Spirit prodigies could cultivate in accelerated time. They could treat a year as a hundred years, and some were equivalent to a thousand years. “Disciple, how’s your comprehension of the Beast Scripture?” After chatting for a while, Lian Xuejin asked what she was most concerned about.
Shen Ping did not hide anything. “I have already mastered the concept of the beast skin level. I believe that in another hundred years, I will be able to perfectly comprehend the concept of the beast skin and enter the beast bone level.”
Lian Xuejin was stunned. “You’ve already mastered the concept of beast skin?” She knew that her disciple was a genius in the aspect of the Beast Scripture, but this was too fast. One had to know that this was true Beast Scripture. Under the circ.u.mstances of time acceleration, the prodigies of the various races could only make a small improvement in a certain level after comprehending for a thousand years.
“Good, very good. According to the situation on the Beast Spirit Ranking last time, those who comprehended the beast bone are basically in the top 10,000. Initially, I thought that after you broke through to the Body Integration realm, it would be very difficult for you to compete for the top 20 of the first level of the Heavenly Palace. From the looks of it, there’s still hope for you, disciple!” Shen Ping said humbly, “There’s still a huge gap between me and that Spirit Race prodigy who has reached the level of scales.”
Lian Xuejin teased, “Why? From what you said, do you want to catch up to that prodigy in a short period of time?”
Shen Ping coughed a few times and said, “People have to have some dreams.” Lian Xuejin couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s good to have dreams, but you can’t bite off more than you can chew. The strongest prodigy of the Spirit Race has cultivated for many years, but you’ve only cultivated for hundreds of years. The last time Venerable Sovereign told you this news through me, it was mainly to let you know the difference and have a goal to catch up to.
“By the way, eight of the beast pattern golden fruits of the race this time were given to True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals. Three of them are said to have extremely high comprehension. They have also comprehended the Beast Scripture. Without the blood of the suppressed strange beasts, they have already comprehended the level of beast bones. Of course, they are not real beast bones, but beast bones from the derivative skills.
“Now that they’ve become Beast Spirit geniuses, their speed of comprehension will be even faster with the help of the strange beast blood in their bodies. You have to be careful not to be caught up by them.”
Shen Ping was shocked. He had used the blood of strange beasts before. Back then, among the restricted resources he had obtained in the True Treasure Pavilion, there was the blood of strange beasts. This thing was obtained from the suppressed strange beasts. Without the blood of strange beasts, forget about comprehending the Beast Scripture, it was extremely difficult to even comprehend the derived skill scroll.
These three immortal seniors were truly geniuses to be able to comprehend the beast bone level. They were much stronger than him, a fake genius who relied on the virtual interface.
However, he didn’t feel any pressure. On the contrary, the more geniuses there were in the clans, the happier he became. It was because this way, there would be someone to share the importance of the immortal dao higher-ups of the various clans.
He ended his communication with his master. He was not in a hurry to use the Taiyi Void Immortal Talisman to comprehend the Beast Scripture. In fact, even if he did, it would not be of much help to him. After all, he was relying on the comprehension of the strange beast obtained from his wife, w.a.n.g Yun’s black crown, to quickly comprehend it. Under normal circ.u.mstances, comprehending it would be very slow.
Therefore, even if he used an immortal talisman, he would use it to sort out his digestion and comprehension.
City Lord Manor.
The scenery here at the pavilion by the lake had not changed for a hundred years. In the center of the sparkling lake, there was only one pavilion that could admire the beautiful aurora on the lake. The fragrance of tea filled the air. Snowflakes gradually fell from the sky.
This was not the natural snow scenery in the western district of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, but the four seasons evolved from the immortal formation that enveloped the City Lord Manor.
The Immortal Array was a high-grade Immortal Array obtained by trading with Immortal Venerable Qi and Immortal Venerable Yu. With this array, even the Golden Immortals of the lower realm would find it difficult to destroy it. Even though it basically consumed an immortal spirit stone every year to maintain it, Shen Ping still directly took out the Immortal Array because the Immortal Array had another function. That was to make the cultivation environment of the City Lord Manor like a true immortal residence.
His wife, concubines, and Dao companions would be in seclusion in such an environment. Their cultivation speed would be twice as fast. He did not work hard to cultivate to be an ascetic. If there were good things, he naturally had to enjoy them in advance.
“Husband, the information of An’er has already been investigated. It’s a cultivator from the Seven b.u.t.terfly Sound Valley. An’er is obsessed with the current sect master of their sect, so he often goes there. This sect is good at music cultivation and illusions.”
He listened to his wife. Shen Ping was a little stunned. “You’re saying that our An’er has a sweetheart?”
w.a.n.g Yun nodded, but she said worriedly, “I’m afraid he’s been bewitched. The True Treasure Pavilion is currently famous. The cultivators of the various sects want to enter the pavilion through their connections and obtain resources. This Seven b.u.t.terfly Sound Valley is no exception. Most of them are female cultivators. The sect has already been destroyed by the foreign races. They most likely want to use our True Treasure Pavilion to rebuild the sect.”
Shen Ping said nonchalantly, “Since you have doubts, investigate.” w.a.n.g Yun did not expect Shen Ping to be so supportive. She said in a low voice, I’m prepared to interrogate the current sect master personally and get the Body Integration guest elder who’s good at illusions in the pavilion to take action.”
Shen Ping said casually, “You can make the decision on this matter. However, there’s one thing you have to pay attention to. Don’t be too extreme. After all, this is An’er’s first time. Be careful not to backfire.”
“Understood.” w.a.n.g Yun’s brows relaxed. With her husband’s support, she did not have to worry.
This was a small matter to Shen Ping. However, not long after, his son actually personally brought the current sect of the Seven b.u.t.terfly Sound Valley to the City Lord Manor and brought it to him.
Shen Ping carefully sized up this sect master. Her appearance and figure were indeed excellent. She wore a purple face cloth and had a vague beauty. However, from the lines of her eyebrows and the outline of her figure, she should have cultivated a bewitching technique.
His son, Shen An, wanted to say something, but when he met Shen Ping’s gaze, he did not dare to say anything. On the other hand, this sect master bowed and said, “Junior Mei Yue greets Pavilion Master Shen.”
Shen Ping nodded and said calmly, “Why did you come to see me?” Although he had restrained his aura, his voice contained an inexplicable pressure. Under this pressure, the Sect Master of the Seven b.u.t.terfly Sound Valley seemed to have been completely seen through. She did not dare to hide anything and directly revealed her goal.
“Pavilion Master Shen, please save my master’s life. My master was occupied by an Itinerant Immortal from the Penglai Immortal City. They promised to take care of my Seven b.u.t.terfly Sound Valley, but until the foreign race cultivators destroyed the sect, we did not see any help from the Penglai Immortal City.”
Shen Ping could clearly feel the hatred in Mei Yue’s words. “In that case, you deliberately approached my son, Shen An, so that I could save your master?”
“Yes!”
“What if I don’t agree?”
