Chapter 184: Gluttonous
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the main quiet room, the moment a large number of swamp demon beasts drowned Shen Ping, his consciousness was expelled from the jade token space by an invisible and gentle energy.
He opened his eyes. There was an indescribable fatigue in the depths of his eyes. He meditated and cultivated for ten minutes. Only then did Shen Ping recover. Recalling the swamp demon beast that covered the sky, the corners of his mouth curled into a helpless smile.
The fourth level of the trial was too difficult. Even if he fused 20 Talisman Beast Diagrams, he would still be eliminated.
“If I want to pass, I have to create more talisman beast diagrams to fuse with the power of the divine power. Unfortunately, it’s only for a short two hours. Being able to create seven is my limit. It’s very difficult to improve!”
He summarized his elimination experience. From the looks of it, he had to master the second or even the third volume to last longer in the trial assessment space.
However, he had yet to completely master the first four volumes of the Green Talisman Sutra. Even if he had enough contribution points to exchange for the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture, it would take him a long time to comprehend and study it. After this trial, he had already understood that the most important thing about the scripture was not to understand it, but to unleash its power.
Therefore, the more solid the foundation of the Talisman Scripture, the more stable the talisman beast diagram would be. The reason why he could control 20 talisman beast diagrams this time was not because his foundation was solid and thick, but purely because of the Life Divine Talisman. Apart from that, powerful divine sense was also the most important factor.
He shook his head and suppressed his thoughts. He closed his eyes and came to the jade token space again. The door to the rankings appeared on the wall. He pushed open the door. He immediately saw two huge lists floating in the air.
Glory Ranking.
Hidden Dragon Rankings.
It was different from the blankness last time. This time, rows of names appeared on the rankings.
Shen Ping looked at the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
First place: New Core, Shen Ping.
He could not help but rub his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken. Only then did his face reveal joy and excitement. Actually, relying on the Sea of Talisman, he had expected that he would be able to enter the Hidden Dragon Rankings when he passed the third level. However, he did not expect to be able to directly reach the top.
Next, he looked at the Glory Ranking again. His gaze kept sweeping down, but he did not see his name. The excitement on his face slowly disappeared. In the end, he sighed. “As expected of the Glory Ranking. It’s an honor to be on it.”
Soon, his divine sense withdrew from the jade token. Shen Ping stood up and paced around the quiet room with his hands behind his back. He rose to the top of the list.
He did not have anything to be proud of. The main reason was that he knew very well how he came to be at the top of the rankings. If not for the Talisman Dao Mystique and Life Divine Talisman given by Dual Cultivation, he would probably not even be able to rush to the end of the Hidden Dragon Rankings.
Of course, Talisman Dao Mystique was a talent. He would not feel inferior to others.
“The ranking reward is distributed every six months. Only by stabilizing the ranking can 1 continue to obtain restricted resources and convert them into contributions or something else to increase the cultivation speed of my wife and concubines.
“However, during this period of time, I have to try my best to break through to the Glory Ranking. Even if I’m at the bottom, I can obtain two resources!”
As he walked, his thoughts drifted.
The rewards on the Glory Ranking were much richer than those on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Those ranked 100th could obtain medium-grade restricted resources, and only the top three on the Hidden Dragon Ranking would receive this.
The difference was very obvious.
The True Treasure Pavilion’s arrangement was undoubtedly to focus on nurturing core members at the Nascent Soul Realm. As for the new core members within a hundred years, only very outstanding people could enjoy such nurturing.
Shen Ping was not sure if the rankings would continue in the future. All he could do was try his best to seize this opportunity.
Zhongsheng Continent.
In the distant and remote deep valley, the space suddenly distorted. Soon, two huge thrones slowly appeared. This world instantly became a combination of dark colors and warm white.
The phantom of the Spring Garden’s master said coldly, “Master actually handed the core of the white jade tower to you, but after so many years, you’re only willing to take it out now! You’re really Master’s good disciple!
“The resources in the White Jade Tower are useless to you. If you had taken them out earlier to nurture various skill geniuses, perhaps experts who could break the array would have appeared in the five continents and four seas long ago!”
The warm voice on the white throne sounded like a spring breeze. “You should know the situation of the white jade tower better than me. Even now, 1 haven’t completely controlled it. Neither of us can bear the consequences of rashly using it. If you hadn’t triggered the ancient blood formation, 1 wouldn’t have done this in advance.”
The blood-red throne phantom sneered, “You’ve always been slow in doing things, but there’s no point in saying this. 1 invited you here this time to tell you that when the blood array is activated in 30 years, I’ll personally break through the barrier!”
“No! You’re crazy. No matter how bad the consequences of activating the blood array are, the five continents and four seas can withstand it. But once the barrier is broken…” A ripple appeared in his gentle voice.
The master of Spring Garden sneered. “You can’t stop me.” As soon as he finished speaking, the blood throne disappeared.
“Extreme. Why did Master give you the method to activate the ancient blood array back then?!” The warm white throne’s gentle voice was filled with anger. However, there was no reply for a long time. She snorted, and the throne vanished.
It was late at night.
The sky in the Linhai Immortal City was already dark.
Laughter filled the hall in the small courtyard.
Shen Ping wrapped his arms around Wang Yun and Bai Yuying’s waists and took a bite of the meat roll Luo Qing handed over. He smiled and said, “I’ve been busy cultivating these days and haven’t been able to let you eat your fill. Rest early tonight and 1’11 let you have a good meal.”
Bai Yuying’s delicate face flickered with excitement. She hooked her fair arm around Shen Ping’s neck and said softly, “Husband, the white phoenix clear egg I ate at the Virtue Tower last time was too delicious. Ying’er wants to eat it. There’s also Fire Braised Chicken.”
When Wang Yun heard this, a layer of moisture appeared on her delicate brows. She said in a low voice, “Husband, Yun’er wants to eat too.”
Yu Yan, who was eating a meat roll, looked at Shen Ping with a smile. “Husband, did you see that? Yun’er and Ying’er have been drooling recently.” “No, I didn’t.”
“Sister Yu Yan only knows how to tease… All!” Bai Yuying was halfway through her sentence when her face turned red. Her legs under the embroidered white gauze dress immediately tensed up. After dozens of breaths, the redness intensified and spread to her earlobes.
Shen Ping smiled and pinched Bai Yuying’s face with his fingers. “Looks like Ying’er is indeed very greedy. I’ll make you a delicious meal tonight.” As he spoke, he glanced sideways. “Yun’er, do you want to eat together?”
His wife nodded repeatedly.
“What about Qing’er?”
“I’ll listen to my husband.”
Mu Jin, who was sitting next to Yu Yan, looked up, but her lips moved without saying anything. Yu Yan said meaningfully, “The date trees planted in the courtyard have to be watered often. Husband, you can’t favor one over the other.”
When Shen Ping heard this, his gaze could not help but sweep across his wife and concubines. He said rather heroically, “In that case, I’ll spend a lot of money this time and let all of you eat Fire Braised Chicken tonight.”
In the spacious master bedroom, the fragrance of various petals lingered, and among these fragrances, there were different fruits open. Sweet grapefruit, crispy honeydew, sparkling apples, bright peaches… and that fair and sparkling inverted jade bowl were pleasing to the eye.
Not long after, the bed shook violently under the brilliance of spring.
In another quiet room, Pei Huoyu, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, looked in the direction of the master bedroom with helplessness in her eyes. “It’s only been a short while. Yet, it’s starting again! Is he really ranked first on the Hidden Dragon Rankings?”
Pei Huoyu really wanted to look for her senior brother to confirm if there was a mistake. In her opinion, only geniuses who were indispensable for talent and hard work had the ability to climb to the top of the rankings. However, Fellow Daoist Shen in front of her was very hardworking in sex.
“Husband, the Fire Braised Chicken you made is a little bigger than Virtue Tower. Ying’er can’t eat it at all!”
“Then Qing’er, you eat.”
“Husband, Qing’er actually likes to eat white phoenix clear eggs more.”
Listening to these voices, Pei Huoyu gritted her teeth expressionlessly. She could not help but recall the scene when she asked Shen Ping to treat her to white phoenix clear eggs some time ago. She could not help but spit in her heart. “They’re all physical skins. I’ll never eat these two signature dishes of Virtue Tower again in the future!”
Buzz-
At this moment, her identity jade token vibrated. She took it out and took a look. It was a message from Perfected Yun Ya. His tone was both excited and helpless. “Junior Sister Huoyu, I’m setting off from the headquarters tomorrow. 1 thought that I wouldn’t have the chance to see the magnificent scenery of the Linhai Immortal City again, but I didn’t expect…”
Pei Huoyu’s lips twitched. “Senior Brother Yun Ya, you’ve worked hard. Is this the Hall Master’s arrangement?”
“It’s Master.”
“There’s no choice. Senior Brother Li can’t hold on anymore. Master can only appear.”
“Fellow Daoist Shen suppressed several Class A cores and ascended to the top of the rankings. The various halls in the headquarters were in an uproar. Fortunately, he had only comprehended the first volume of the Talisman Scripture. Coupled with Master’s suppression, the other halls did not immediately send their cores over.”
Perfected Yun Ya said solemnly, “The further one goes in the trial assessment space, the more difficult it will be. Therefore, in these ten years before the headquarters’ review and evaluation, it would be fine if Fellow Daoist Shen had stopped at the fourth level. However, if he had advanced even a little, Master might not be able to suppress them. So Junior Sister, you have to be mentally prepared in advance.”
Pei Huoyu forced a smile. “Senior Brother Yun Ya, I understand..”
