Chapter 511: Heavenly court, immortal Palace!
The ancient city.
Fang ping slashed wildly and finally managed to cut a hole in the Rose King"s chest.
Although there was a hole, his flesh was still healing. It was extremely terrifying.
Within the Rose King"s body, there was a green crystal that looked like a Jade.
At this moment, this crystallized body was like a deflating leather ball, constantly losing its life essence.
When the Rose King was alive, he could still seal it with his mentality. Now that he was dead, it was still fine in his body just now, but it was sealed by the rank-9"s seamless body.
Now that a hole had been opened, the speed of the overflow had increased significantly.
Initially, there was no energy around Fang ping. However, at this moment, a large amount of energy was densely packed in an instant.
"Roar!"
A demonic beast"s roar was heard, and Fang Ping"s expression changed.
In the world, energy was the most important thing for monster beasts and monster plants.
At this time, the energy was spreading out fiercely, causing the monster race who had gone far away to become restless.
Fang ping hurriedly took out a bottle made of a large energy crystal from his storage s.p.a.ce. He grabbed the green crystal and stuffed it into the bottle.
The moment the crystal entered the bottle, it quickly turned into a liquid-like substance.
And it was still coming out and overflowing.
Fang ping hurriedly took out a few more energy crystal bottles. These things were not too valuable. Before he came in, he had prepared quite a lot. He did not specially prepare them to store life essence, but just kept them as a backup.
Whether it was the life essence or some energy fruits, this thing could ensure that the energy would not overflow to the greatest extent when stored.
As he pretended, Fang ping said ecstatically, "I"m rich!"
"I"m really rich!"
So much life essence!
Even though the ball of crystal appeared to be the size of a fist in the Rose King"s body, when it turned into liquid, it filled up three big bottles.
At the side, w.a.n.g Jinyang"s attention was also attracted. He could not help but ask,"How many are there?"
He had never seen so much life essence before!
The last time in the Nanjiang catacombs, Fang ping had concocted a small drop. He, Qin Fengqing, and the others were all dying to have it.
Now, this was not just a problem of a small drop!
As he said that, w.a.n.g Jinyang could not help but ask,"why did Rose city"s Governor bring out so many?" Don"t tell me you"ve taken out all your belongings?"
Fang ping was overjoyed, but he could not help but curse,"This guy used up at least half of it!"
Fang ping was extremely indignant about the Rose King"s serious wastage of resources.
When this fellow was fighting with others, he would use it without restraint. He did not feel the pinch at all. He was even more wasteful than old man Li the last time. It was too extravagant.
Despite his scolding, Fang ping still shook his head and said,"I don"t think it"s all of his wealth. There should be quite a lot in Rose City. Didn"t rose City have been established for 200 years?
200 years, even if we used some in the beginning and some later on, it"s not just this much. "
Fang ping weighed the three big bottles. Excluding the weight of the bottles, the life essence was about 150 catties.
150 catties was only 75 kilograms.
Even though the Rose King had used up a lot of it, it had only brought out about 300 to 400 catties this time.
The last time Fang ping went to gigantic Willow City to steal life essence, he did not steal much, only a few hundred catties.
Gigantic Willow city"s history did not seem to be as long as Rose City "s. If that was the case, Rose City should have more of them.
Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that it would take a long time, and rose City would use it a lot.
However, in Fang Ping"s opinion, Rose City definitely had thousands of catties of life essence.
The Rose city"s mayor probably did not take all of them away. After all, she needed the rank-9 monster plants herself.
Fang ping did not know that the Rose King had indeed taken them all away.
The huge Rose City had acc.u.mulated so much life essence over the years, and it was indeed only this much.
This was not the acc.u.mulation of 200 years, but 30 years.
The life essence from before had all been used up 30 years ago. In the end, all that was left was a fruit, a fruit that could save the life of a rank-9.
After one"s spiritual energy was destroyed, one could live again after eating this fruit!
Such an energy fruit could not be called an energy fruit, but a real divine fruit!
If one"s mentality was destroyed, and they were rank-9 powerhouses, they would almost certainly die. Even a Paragon could not save them.
However, the Rose King had come back to life under such circ.u.mstances.
And this was within the boundary. If they were in the outside world, the effects of the Rose King digesting this divine fruit might be even better.
Using the life essence that he had acc.u.mulated for more than a hundred years in exchange for a chance to save his life, this was something any city Lord would be willing to do.
In reality, almost no one could do it. Even a rank-9 monster plant would suffer a great loss in vitality when it condensed such a divine fruit.
In the past 30 years, the Rose in Rose City had spent a long time healing. The speed at which it condensed its life essence had slowed down, and a part of it had been used to recover from its injuries.
Naturally, Fang ping did not know any of this.
He had heard Rose city"s Governor talk about this, but Fang ping did not think too much about it. He was not sure what it meant for a rank-9 monster plant, a monster plant that only bloomed but did not bear fruit, to have condensed a life-saving fruit.
If he knew, Fang ping would probably have to hack the corpse in front of him to death a thousand times.
A divine fruit of immeasurable value was eaten by this guy so casually?
Fang ping did not have the time to think about this right now.
He was calculating how much wealth he could get this time!
The official Price For Life essence was 10 million per gram.
Of course, that was the official price.
The last time he was in the Nanjiang catacombs, Fang ping had more than 200 grams of life essence left, which increased his wealth by 1.2 billion. The system gave him about 5 million per gram.
As for how much it was, although Fang ping had exchanged some from the officials later on, since his wealth did not increase, the system did not calculate his wealth points, so he really did not know how much it was worth.
However, 5 million per gram was probably not much of a difference.
This time, he obtained about 75 kilograms ...
Fang ping was about to swallow his saliva!
How much was that?
5 billion for 1 kilogram, doesn"t that mean ... Around 375 billion?
So many!
Adding on the three divine weapons, a rank-7 divine weapon would be worth between 100 x15 billion.
Rank-8 ones were worth at least 300- 50 billion!
A rank-9 magic weapon was even more expensive. Under normal circ.u.mstances, no one would sell a rank-9 magic weapon, and it was impossible to buy one.
A rank-9 divine weapon that could kill rank-9 Fey beasts and Fey plants in its complete form. Other than those paragons, how many people in the world could do that?
It was probably worth hundreds of billions!
In total, the value of the three divine weapons would probably be 150 billion!
This was not all he had. The rank-9 skeleton, the Rose King"s corpse, and the rank-8 skeleton ... The value of these things was not easy to calculate.
The system didn"t really value dead people.
For example, when Fang ping dug out the energy heart of the catacombs martial artist, he did not count it as wealth points. However, since he had sold it, it was considered money.
Back in Magic city"s catacombs, Fang ping and Qin Fengqing had worked together before. They had also dug out martial artists "hearts, but Fang ping did not want them and threw them all to Qin Fengqing.
The remains of the Rose King and tie mu. Rank-9 corpses like these would probably fetch a high price if they were sold, right?
Even without the remains, just the life essence and divine weapons alone were worth more than 500 billion!
And these energy stones ... Although there were not many, they were about the same as the ones Fang ping had blown up before.
There were definitely tens of billions!
However, at this moment, Fang ping did not really think much of it!
How could 10 billion be called money?
This time, his gains were incomparably huge. They were all calculated in the hundreds of billions, ten billion ... Fang ping felt that there was no need to care about this small change now.
"I"m rich, I"m rich!"
Fang ping laughed so hard that his teeth were about to break.
However ... After laughing, Fang ping frowned slightly. The system did not add his wealth points!
This meant that the system had determined that he was still in danger.
Fang ping could understand. The boundary was indeed extremely dangerous. There were a large number of monstrous beasts and monstrous plants guarding not far away. The forbidden Sea was also filled with danger. He still had to find a way to cross the land of the far west and a few royal cities to return.
When he destroyed that small city, he could quickly calculate his wealth points because Fang ping and the rest had the ability to escape danger and return to Southern Heaven city, back to the human world.
But now ... That might not be the case.
"Then ..."
Fang ping looked at his own skeleton and suddenly felt a headache.
Was he still healing his injuries?
If he used up the life essence for healing, the system would not calculate his wealth later on.
The items consumed during the dangerous process did not count as wealth points.
However, if he did not heal his injuries, he would be in a very bad state. Even if he continued to use his wealth to repair his body, he would still be in a very bad state.
If the injuries were not good, the danger would be greater.
However, now that he had used it, he would lose a lot of wealth.
Fang ping thought about it and sighed. In the end, he made a decision. No matter how much wealth he had, he had to be alive to spend it.
What he needed to do most right now was to recover to his peak state.
In his current situation, he did not need to consume too much life essence. He was only restoring half of his golden body, not a true golden body.
"Is 1 Jin enough?"
" 500 grams ... Might not be enough."
"At most two catties!"
The official price for 1000 grams was 10 billion. The system had calculated his wealth points to be around 5 billion. It was so little ... Fang ping did not think it was a big deal. Anything below 10 billion was not considered money.
Thinking of this, Fang ping looked at w.a.n.g Jinyang and said,"Old w.a.n.g, I"ll recuperate first. Help me keep an eye on the situation. If any demonic beasts come, leave in time."
Now, this was the safest place.
Many rank-9 powerhouses had fallen, and the sealed world had erupted. Such auras were still lingering, and the monster beasts and monster plants dared not come over.
It would be even more dangerous if he left this place.
w.a.n.g Jinyang nodded. When he saw Fang ping take out a lot of life essence, he felt a little sorry for Fang ping.
This guy was really willing to part with it!
As for himself, he did not need it. He had been heavily injured previously and had used up a lot of his imperishable substance, but his injuries had mostly recovered.
Fang ping did not think much of it, but w.a.n.g Jinyang did.
He ... In his previous life, he might really have been more than rank-8.
The rank-8 imperishable substance was also limited. Otherwise, Li Mo and the others would not have continued to fight in the form of skeletons because the imperishable substance had been exhausted.
As for him, his injuries were actually very serious as well. He had consumed a lot of imperishable substance and had also been seriously injured last time.
During this period, he also used the imperishable substance to cultivate, which consumed a lot of energy.
He had not reached rank-8 yet, so he could not replenish the imperishable substance he had consumed. Even though he had consumed so much, w.a.n.g Jinyang did not feel that the imperishable substance was showing any signs of being depleted.
This meant that in his previous life, he was stronger than a rank-8.
Ninth-grade?
Or even stronger?
He wasn"t sure about this now.
Fang ping had said that he was above the Paragon level. w.a.n.g Jinyang did not know if he was telling the truth. It was hard to tell the truth from the lie.
……
This time, Fang ping spent quite a bit of time healing his injuries.
And the life essence consumed was even more than he had expected!
By the time he had consumed 1 kilogram of life essence, Fang Ping"s flesh had already been regrown!
However, Fang ping realized that his half-golden body could continue to become stronger.
It was similar to old man Li"s condition the last time. Perhaps, this was also an opportunity to rebuild after destruction.
Fang ping gritted his teeth. In a penny, in a pound. He decided to consume about 1 kilogram of life essence again for his body to absorb.
His half-golden body"s golden glow was originally very dim and could not be compared to li Hansong "s.
Even if Fang ping had achieved rank-6 and Li Hansong was only rank-5, li Hansong"s semi-golden body was still more resplendent than his. That also meant that his strength was stronger.
However, after Fang ping had consumed so much life essence, his golden body began to s.h.i.+ne.
When Fang ping opened his eyes and stopped his training, w.a.n.g Jinyang said with rapt attention,"Your golden body seems to have become even stronger!"
Fang ping was overjoyed and said with a smile,""I didn"t waste my money this time! He was indeed more powerful! "Previously, I was easily beaten into a skeleton by others, and the aftermath could even turn me into a skeleton. Now ... It"s hard to say!"
"The physical strength of a rank-7 martial artist might not be comparable to mine.
Although it"s not a true golden body yet, I can feel that it"s much stronger than before!"
It wasn"t a feeling, but a fact!
At this moment, Fang Ping"s data changed again:
[Wealth: 86.2 billion (converted)]
[Vitality: 7600Cal (7800Cal)
[Mentality: 380hz]
[Bones honed: 177 bones (100%), 29 bones (90%)]
[Storage s.p.a.ce: 100 cubic meters (+)]
[Energy barrier: 10000 wealth points/minute (+1,100000/minute)]
[Aura simulation: 100000 wealth points/minute (+)]
7800Cal vitality!
On the other hand, Fang ping had checked the data once in the death forest. His vitality upper limit was only 7088Cal.
After reforging half of his golden body, it had actually increased his vitality limit by more than 700Cal!
This also meant that his body"s strength was much stronger than before.
As for the Sanjiao gate, it had yet to be sealed.
Sealing a door meant receiving the mysterious energy once, which would continue to strengthen his body.
For rank-6 powerhouses, ten thousand Cal vitality was the limit.
Fang ping suspected that he would be able to reach 10000 Cal soon.
Not only his vitality, but his mentality had also increased after being shattered countless times. Although it was not much, it had indeed increased.
"His mentality shattered. It"s a little similar to mcmau powerhouses who train in the pressure room.
It would be crushed by a stronger spiritual power, and then it would be generated into a stronger spiritual power.
His golden body was stronger, his vitality increased, and his mentality increased. This also made Fang ping forget his unhappiness over consuming his life essence.
After consuming 2 kilograms, the system would give him at least 10 billion less wealth points.
However, now that he was at his peak, other than the feeling of his head exploding and the pain in his body disappearing, Fang ping still felt refreshed.
"We"ve been here for at least two days and two nights!"Fang ping suddenly said.
This was determined by the consumption of wealth points.
His energy barrier was always on. The two of them consumed six million wealth points an hour, which was more than a hundred million a day.
Fang ping had spent some on his own healing, some on fighting, condensing celestiality, and recovering mentality ...
He had a rough idea of the cost.
He had 87 billion wealth points when he expanded his storage s.p.a.ce. He had to spend at least 200 to 300 million wealth points to match that amount.
Two days and two nights was not considered too long. This meant that only one night had pa.s.sed since the rank-9 battle and the outbreak of the inter-world realm, and only a few days had pa.s.sed since he and Lao w.a.n.g had been buried under the rubble.
On the 26th of April, Fang ping and the others entered Tiannan catacombs.
It should be the 29th now, and it was almost night.
After this night, it would be the 30th.
This was Fang Ping"s fifth time entering the catacombs. Other than the first time he had the intention of familiarizing himself with the catacombs and dawdling with Tang Feng for a few days, this time seemed to be Fang Ping"s longest stay in the catacombs. He was still in the precinct and did not know when he could return.
After recovering from his injuries, Fang ping looked at the two skeletons on the ground, then at the two unconscious rank-6 martial artists at the side.
Frowning slightly, Fang ping said in a low voice,"this ... Is a little troublesome!"
There were four more people. Although it was hard to tell if the two rank-8s were Dead or Alive, they were indeed still alive.
It wasn"t easy to move around with these people.
Fang ping looked at w.a.n.g Jinyang and said,"are we still thinking of ways to enter the inner regions?"
In the distance, the huge boundary wall separated the sealed world and the boundary region.
In the outer perimeter, other than some monster beasts, monster plants, and a few dilapidated ancient sites, there was nothing good.
Fang Ping"s current gains were only from outsiders.
In the precinct, he had gained nothing. He had not even been able to dig up the broken stele. The bloodthirsty tree demon of the seventh rank was also a defective product that someone had killed.
Hearing Fang ping say he wanted to enter the inner regions, w.a.n.g Jinyang smiled bitterly."Fang ping, let"s forget it. Even the peak has fallen over there. Now that we"ve found our teacher, we"d better find a way to go back.
Besides ... We can"t go in.
The people from the Forbidden Zone have stayed here for so long and have no way to enter, can we open the regional wall?
I"ve taken a look, the regional wall seems to be more dangerous than the underground sealed world. "
Fang ping naturally knew this, but he still said regretfully, "I"m already here ... Sigh, to be honest, I"m really curious about what"s inside the boundary.
Also, this place seems to be an ancient human ruin. Do you think ... There"s a living person inside?
Even our ancient humans are living inside?
Why did the Yang family patriarch run into this place?
Previously, it was said that they were going to Cross Worlds, but it seemed that the ten Southern Territories were in danger. However, was it necessary to Cross Worlds and not through the outside, but through the dangerous boundary?
These paragons and rank-9s all yearned to enter the realm. The more they thought about it, the more secrets they had.
In addition, according to his calculations, the 108 small domains had 108 world domains.
Was it the same for every realm?
What were the realms outside the country?
We"re in human remains here, and it seems to be from China. What about the remains from other countries? Could it be?
"Or are you saying that only Tiannan catacombs is a little special?"
Fang ping continued,"these people from the Forbidden Zone captured Zhang Laos.h.i.+ and the others. They"ve been whipping them. It seems like they"re trying to open the regional wall. Could it be that the regional wall can only be opened by us humans?
All humans, or just anyone?
Whipping them should be for a blood essence explosion, could it be ... That only blood essence energy can open the regional wall?"
Seeing that he had started to a.n.a.lyze, w.a.n.g Jinyang was really starting to get a headache. He coughed lightly and said,"Fang ping, we"re only middle-ranks, I"m only rank-5, and you"re only rank-6. Isn"t it too early to think about these things now?
"Why don"t we wait until we"re rank-7, and then think of a way to explore the secrets?"
Now that he had found Zhang Qingnan, his only thought was to go back as soon as possible.
He had achieved his goal!
As for what was in the inner regions, he had no interest in the remains of the peak.
So what if they found the remains of the peak?
Could it make them go from rank-5 to rank-6 to Paragon in one day?
This place was too dangerous. It was so dangerous that rank-5 and 6 martial artists like them had to gamble their luck and their lives every second of the day.
The slightest bit of carelessness would mean death.
He didn"t even have the strength to fight back!
As the two of them were talking, a series of demonic beast roars suddenly sounded from the outside!
That kind of roar was not from fear, fear, agitation, or anger, but excitement.
"Roar!"
The roars came one after another, one after another, spreading for thousands of miles!
The boundary was like a straight line that stretched across the entire territory.
From the southernmost Forbidden Sea to the northernmost defensive Sea Mountain, they were all the locations of the boundary, dividing this boundary into small regions.
At this moment, the long boundary was filled with the roars of demon beasts from all directions. Even the demon plants were making some strange, sharp cries.
The entire realm began to get excited.
Fang ping and w.a.n.g Jinyang looked as if they were facing a great enemy!
w.a.n.g Jinyang"s face turned pale!
How many demon beasts and demon plants?
The boundary wasn"t big. Although it was long, it was only a line. Compared to the land of the far west, the boundary wasn"t worth mentioning.
However, on this small route, they could hear no less than a hundred roars.
Hundreds of high-ranked monsters!
It was comparable to the number of high-ranked monsters in the entire land of the far west!
It was too terrifying!
w.a.n.g Jinyang looked at Fang ping. Although he did not say anything, his meaning was clear. "Are you sure you want to continue staying here?"
Once the dangerous aura here was eliminated, it might be time for the demonic beasts "feast.
Fang ping gulped. He was also a little frightened, but he still could not hide his doubts. He asked strangely, "What"s wrong with these demons? You"re suddenly so excited!"
"I don"t know ..."
As w.a.n.g Jinyang was speaking, the next moment, the two of them were shocked!
The regional wall in front, although it was like a crystal, it was not transparent.
But at this moment, the regional wall shook slightly like water, and gradually, it started to become transparent.
When this giant screen-like regional wall started to turn transparent, the roars of the demons became even louder.
Fang ping, on the other hand, widened his eyes and mumbled,"The ... The heavenly court!"
"Heavenly court!"
w.a.n.g Jinyang also mumbled,"The immortal Palace ..."
On the other side of the half-transparent regional wall, one could vaguely see a vast and majestic building complex floating in the air!
That faintly discernible posture added a sense of mystery and immortal aura.
The regional wall was still slightly rippling, it had not opened.
In the inner area, it was as if it was drizzling, misty rain.
When the raindrops that might have been light rain fell, the regional wall suddenly started to shake.
Following that, an extremely dense energy surged out from the regional wall!
At this moment, Fang ping seemed to have guessed something. He said in shock, "That"s energy liquefaction! The energy in the inner region had liquefied and was too saturated, pa.s.sing through the regional wall ... This ... This is the immortal world?
Could it be that the energy of the sealed world was actually absorbed by the inner regions?
The immortal Palace is thousands of miles long, and the energy is liquidized ... This ... How much energy is this ..."
Fang Ping"s shock could not be greater!
w.a.n.g Jinyang was also completely stunned!
Energy liquefaction!
In order to liquify the energy, Qin Fengqing had spent five to six catties of rank-9 energy stones, but only a little bit of energy had been liquised out.
And now?
What did they just see?!
He could see the faintly discernible interior of the immortal Palace. Energy fell like rain.
The energy was so dense that this huge world could not withstand it and released energy through the boundary!
"Go! Go to the regional wall!"
Fang ping growled, grabbed the two Golden Bones, and ran away.
w.a.n.g Jinyang also gritted his teeth, picked up his teacher and the other person, and ran in that direction!
He was going to cultivate!
On the other side of the regional wall, the liquefied energy was actually seeping out. This was simply the immortal world!
If he were to enter the inner regions to cultivate ... w.a.n.g Jinyang did not even dare to think about it. This would not be any weaker than Fang Ping"s life essence bath. Other than the fact that life essence did not have the effect of restoring one"s vitality, both of them were actually formed by the condensation of energy.
In the absence of injury, using life essence or liquidized energy to cultivate was essentially the same.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Jinyang was so excited that he could not help but feel a little greedy.
He was actually very good at controlling these external desires, but when he saw the half-hidden immortal Palace, w.a.n.g Jinyang really felt that he was losing control!
What kind of place was the boundary?
How was it formed?
If he could enter, didn"t that mean that he could always cultivate in the energy essence?
Also, what kind of place was the immortal Palace?
Was there still someone inside?
If they took down a boundary and there was no one inside, didn"t that mean that countless people could enter to cultivate?
Cultivating in this place where energy was liquefied, even a pig could become a rank-6 demon pig, right?
A Paragon entering this place shouldn"t be for the energy. Could there be something better inside?
No, there was definitely one!
What exactly was in that majestic heavenly Palace?
At this moment, w.a.n.g Jinyang could no longer remain calm. Neither could Fang ping. The precinct ... The precinct. He believed what that fellow Qin Fengqing had said!
He looked through the regional wall and seemed to see a Golden Spring!
Could it be a pool formed by imperishable substance?
No, it was not a pool, it was a huge Lake!
A large lake floating in the air!
"The realm! What is this place?"
Fang ping roared in his heart. He even wanted to pa.s.s through the regional wall and enter directly.
However, the moment he neared the regional wall, Fang ping felt a strong sense of danger. He quickly suppressed these thoughts. The attack of the regional wall was still there. He could not enter!
A Treasure Mountain was right in front of him, but it was out of his reach. He could only watch helplessly. This kind of torture was even more painful than turning into a skeleton!
"Ah!"
Fang ping growled in a low voice. "I really want to go in and sweep everything clean!"
