Chapter 927: Bad Situation (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations
It had only been a few thousand years since Shen Ping ascended. The entire city had not changed much. It was still the most prosperous cultivation immortal city in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. It did not become desolate because of the ascension of Shen Ping and his wife and Dao companions. Instead, more than ten Tribulation Transcendence experts ascended in a row, causing this city to vaguely become a city of ascension that everyone yearned for.
Many Tribulation Transcendence cultivators and even Itinerant Immortals who were in seclusion came to live here, hoping to get more of the illusory luck.
Although cultivators had always believed that humans could defeat the heavens and fight for their lives, the stronger they were, the more they revered that unpredictable fate. They believed that since so many cultivators from Gray Stone City could ascend and none of them failed, it must be very special.
Apart from that, before w.a.n.g Yun, Yu Yan, and the others ascended, they had constantly nurtured juniors. Outstanding juniors like Shen Qinglian had all broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence realm. The eldest son of the first wife had long reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence realm. Combined with immortal artifacts and some other methods, he was enough to fight five to six Tribulation Itinerant Immortals.
Therefore, no ignorant Tribulation Transcendence and Itinerant Immortals dared to cause trouble here. This made the immortal city more stable and safe. Naturally, it attracted more cultivators.
Today, the Land of Ascension outside Immortal City once again attracted the attention of many experts. The eldest son of the Shen family, Shen An, and the other five second-generation juniors were about to ascend. This matter was very attractive to cultivators.
“The lightning tribulation has arrived!” someone said. A large amount of lightning was gathering in the center of the vortex with rolling black clouds in the sky. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a terrifying purple lightning pillar and blasted down.
Lightning tribulation had different levels. Back then, when Shen Ping ascended, he had experienced the Nine Heavens Mystic Lightning. The nine lightning pillars were stronger and stronger. In the end, they were comparable to the might of a Tenth Tribulation Itinerant Immortal. Shen An withstood six purple lightning, so he was considered very strong. Through the Door of Ascension, he could reach the late-stage True Immortal realm in a short period of time after being tempered by the lightning tribulation and entering the Ascension Pool.
The other five juniors were all below five purple lightning bolts. After ascending, the strongest was only at the intermediate True Immortal stage. As they watched the younger generation of the Shen family successfully ascend, the surrounding cultivators sighed, especially when they looked up at the majestic immortal sect that emitted the aura of immortals. All of them wished they could rush over.
Immortal Ascension was the greatest desire of every cultivator who stepped onto the path of Immortal cultivation. Whether it was deception, schemes, betrayal, killing, bitter cultivation, tempering, adventure, and so on, it was all for the sake of becoming an immortal!!
As long as they could take a step forward on the path to immortality, even if it was just a small step, they’re all willing to pay a high price. After all, immortals represented more lifespan, stronger strength, and a more exciting world and future.
Now, the many Tribulation Transcendence cultivators of the Shen family had successfully ascended. This undoubtedly attracted the other cultivators. In the future, more experts would rush to Gray Stone City and perform different exciting lives of their own in this city.
Shen Ping could no longer see this. His vision had long surpa.s.sed the lower realm and the Immortal Dao territory. He was focused on the encirclement of those Venerable Sovereigns.
After he settled the arrangements for his son and grandsons, Shen Ping took out a token and contacted the Immortal Venerable Nanji. Before he left the Immortal Extinction Forbidden Land, the other Immortal Venerables had given him a token specially used for long-distance communication. This token contained the power of the Great Dao. Only by comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth could he cross endless distances to communicate.
Like other immortals, it was difficult to contact them through immortal jade slips, even in an immortal domain.
“Senior Nanji, I wonder how the encirclement and suppression of the outer realm expert is going?”
He had not broken through to the Immortal King Realm previously. Even if he was more concerned about this matter, it was not good to ask. However, now that his combat strength had reached the Venerable Sovereign Realm and he stood at the peak of the Immortal Dao Domain, there was naturally nothing to worry about.
Immortal Venerable Nanji did not think so much and only thought that Shen Ping wanted to ask, so he replied, “That expert from the outer realm has many methods. We haven’t killed him yet. We only surrounded a place and trapped him with an ancient array.”
Shen Ping continued to ask, “Where’s my master? Is he injured?”
He knew how fast the recovery of the outer realm expert was. Lord Yin had already said that the other party would definitely be able to recover to the late-stage of Initial Dao Realm in ten thousand years. If he killed a Venerable Sovereign and absorbed his power, his recovery speed would be even faster.
And in the entire immortal dao territory, only his master could barely fight him.
Immortal Venerable Nanji hesitated, “Don’t worry about this. Stay in the Northern Ice Immortal City. That’s the border between our human race, the Devil Clan, and the Flame Clan. If anything happens, the Northern Ice Immortal City might be the first to be attacked by the foreign races.”
With that, Immortal Venerable Nanji cut off the connection. Shen Ping was stunned. What did he mean? Could it be that the Devil Clan and the Flame Race wanted to start a war with the human race?
Over the years, although there were constant conflicts in the foreign race battlefield, they were all limited to small-scale missions. Generally, the real battle would happen every ten thousand years. As for large-scale battles at the legion level, they were even further away. It was considered a high frequency for them to happen once every 100,000 years.
He thought about it, and took out Immortal Venerable Yao’s communication token. He asked carefully. He could not help but be stunned. “What? Master’s injured? His injuries are not light?”
Immortal Venerable Yao sighed, “That outer realm expert recovered his strength very quickly. If we trap him this time and don’t kill him, we won’t have a chance next time. Therefore, in order to severely injure him and create an opportunity for the Realm Clan and other special races, the Venerable Sovereign didn’t hesitate to fight him at the cost of his life. In the end, he forced him into the core of the ancient array and couldn’t come out for the time being. However, the Venerable Sovereign was also severely injured.”
