Shen Ping did not hide anything and smiled. “I’m already a Mahayana Realm cultivator.”
Hall Master Yueling was shocked. Even though he had seen many things, his expression could not help but be stunned. “H-How is this possible?”
How long has it been since the Derivative Beast crisis? It hadn’t even been a thousand years.
On the other hand, ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators only had this much lifespan. No matter how monstrous a genius was, it was already very unbelievable for him to jump to the late-stage Void Refinement Realm like the hall masters of the various halls. However, he did not expect that Personal Disciple Shen would actually break through to the Mahayana Realm!
One had to know that in the entire Zhongsheng Continent, there were only dozens of people who could reach this level. They were basically the grand elders of the various sects. In their main hall, including his main hall experts, they were only at the mid-stage and late-stage Body Integration realm.
Shen Ping revealed his aura slightly. Hall Master Yueling immediately felt a vast pressure descend. The aura Lian Xuejin usually revealed was only at the late-stage of the Mahayana Realm. It was mainly because there was no need to reveal the True Immortal Realm.
“Greetings, Senior Shen!” Hall Master Yueling’s expression changed again and again. After he came back to her senses, he hurriedly bowed. No matter what Shen Ping’s ident.i.ty was in the past, since he had broken through to the Mahayana Realm, he was a senior.
Shen Ping smiled and accepted this bow calmly. He was not pretending on purpose, but at his level, there was no need to hide anymore.
They chatted briefly before they continued walking in the direction of the Fire Spirit Hall. Soon, the news that Personal Disciple Shen had returned to the headquarters and had already advanced to the Mahayana Realm spread like a hurricane. More than 40 hall masters of Mountain Fire Hall, Dan Hai Hall, and Huayun Hall received it almost immediately. Apart from being shocked, they rushed to the main hall to confirm.
“It’s actually true?!”
“Back then, Personal Disciple Shen’s comprehension of the Talisman Dao Technique Scripture was already outstanding. I didn’t expect that after disappearing for nearly a thousand years, he was actually already a Mahayana Realm cultivator!”
“That’s right. It’s really unimaginable. Isn’t this cultivation speed too fast? Even if the Head Hall Master takes care of him, this is the Mahayana Realm!!”
The group of Hall Masters felt as if they were in a dream. They could understand if Shen Ping had broken through to the Body Integration realm. This was because there was a chance with the foundation of the True Treasure Pavilion, the additional nurturing and care of the Head Hall Master, and Shen Ping’s excellence. However, the Mahayana Realm… was not something that could be achieved through simple talent cultivation. It required enough time to acc.u.mulate and understand cultivation techniques.
“Fellow Daoist Shan Huo, Fellow Daoist Dan Hai, the two of you had a deep relationship with this Personal Disciple Shen, no, Senior Shen, back then. Now that he’s already a Mahayana Realm senior, I think he’ll take over as the Head Hall Master of the True Treasure Pavilion. I’m afraid the two of you will be blessed in the future!”
The other Hall Masters could not help but feel envious.
Hall Master Shan Huo and Hall Master Dan Hai smiled bitterly. “Fellow Daoist Huayun, don’t make fun of us. Senior Shen disappeared for nearly a thousand years. Even if we had some relationship back then, it has been so long. The other party might not remember it!”
Just as the various hall masters’ thoughts were flying, Lian Xuejin heard the news and could not help but laugh. She sent a message to the various main halls. “Don’t disturb Shen Ping. He won’t stay here for long. In a few days, all the hall masters will come to the main hall. I have something important to announce.”
This news confused the various Hall Masters. Could it be she’s going to announce the news of pa.s.sing down the seat to Shen Ping? However, the Head Hall Master said that Shen Ping would not stay for long.
Fire Spirit Hall.
He stepped into the backyard again. The familiar feeling hidden in his memory surged into his heart. Strictly speaking, Shen Ping had not lived in this hall for long. Most of the time, he was immersed in comprehending the scripture and did not have many memories of this hall.
After staying for two days, he brought his wife, concubine, and Dao companions to the old place again and arrived at the Linhai Immortal City. During the crisis of the Derivative Beasts, all the states had suffered the destruction of various Derivative Beasts. The Linhai Immortal City was also among them, but this city was still prosperous and lively.
However, the place where they lived back then was gone.
“Perfected Lord Linhai of the Linhai Immortal City died 500 years ago. He was injured in the battle with the Derivative Beast and his foundation was damaged. Otherwise, with this Perfected Lord Linhai’s talent, he might have been able to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm. The person guarding the Linhai Immortal City now is his disciple, Perfected Lord Yin Gua, who is good at divination.”
When he heard the person-in-charge of the True Treasure Pavilion’s branch mention this matter, Shen Ping could not help but think of the shy Fellow Daoist. He smiled calmly and did not go to see this Perfected Lord. Speaking of which, he did not even know this person.
There was no old residence, so they did not stop. Instead, they arrived at the territory of the twelve countries. Compared to the headquarters and the Linhai Immortal City, the twelve countries that Shen Ping had cultivated in the beginning had changed greatly. Back then, the Wei Kingdom and the other twelve countries had all disappeared, leaving only the Golden Sun Sect.
That’s right. In the end, it was still the Golden Sun Sect who unified the twelve countries. After Ancestor Jinyang broke through to the Divine Transformation Realm, he was taken away to deal with the Derivative Beast. In fact, all the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators would be taken away by the True Treasure Pavilion and the other sects of the Zhongsheng Continent to fight the Derivative Beast. Those who survived could stay in the Zhongsheng Continent.
Although the twelve countries had disappeared, Cloud Mountain Parlour and Qingyang City were still there.
Like Linhai Immortal City, these two places had good cultivation environments. Cloud Mountain Parlour was near the Cloud Mountain Swamp and had a large mineral vein, while Qingyang City was in Qingyang Lake. Even if the two places were destroyed for a moment, cultivators would slowly gather and restore their former prosperity.
Shen Ping, who had already reached the Mahayana Realm, returned to Qingyang City. He walked slowly on the street and felt the wind from the lake. That familiar feeling lingered in his heart. Although he had not been in the Foundation Establishment realm for long, he had worked hard..
