Chapter 390: Special Place

The strange fish seemed to have a certain range limit. After Shen Ping fled for thousands of meters, the strange fish in the pool stopped chasing. This made him feel relieved. Although the Lightning Water Escape Rune Technique was a very powerful speed escape divine power, in such an environment, he did not know if he would fall into some danger or encounter the flames in the cave again.
Therefore, although he fled very quickly, his mind was tense. He looked around. Seeing a huge rock not far away, he quickly walked to the side of the huge rock. He first checked his surroundings and confirmed that there was no danger for the time being. Then, he threw out the array flags and array discs and made a simple defense. Then, he sat cross-legged and thought carefully.
After the initial exploration, he more or less understood the environment of the Strange Beast Gate and knew what the Immortal Dao expert meant by danger.
In this Strange Beast Gate, there were many treasures. For example, the strange stone and those beast spirit treasures seemed to be ownerless. If one was lucky, they could easily obtain them. But if one wanted to obtain them, they had to rely on their own strength to snatch them. This was because those who could enter the Strange Beast Gate were basically powerful cultivators with beast pattern golden cores. These cultivators were all geniuses of various races.
They were different from Shen Ping. They had the support of a race behind them, but Shen Ping was alone at the moment. Moreover, he did not know any details about the Strange Beast Gate.
“My current advantage is mainly the Talisman Dao Mystique and Puppet Mystique that I fused with the Talisman Beast Diagram. However, I haven’t completely comprehended the beast form volume of the Puppet Beast Scripture. Therefore, the only true trump card is the Talisman Dao Mystique. However, I didn’t prepare many complete talismans of the Talisman Beast Diagram. Every time I use one, I’ll lose one. If this continues, I’ll lose my strongest move sooner or later!
“Also, if I encounter foreign race geniuses who are not afraid of Talisman Dao Mystique, I will only die!”
Shen Ping’s expression was solemn. His mind was clear. He was not complacent because he had killed a foreign race genius with a Beast Pattern Golden Core. Instead, he was deeply worried. In this Strange Beast Gate, not to mention the other foreign race cultivators, just the danger that seemed to be everywhere made him tremble.
“I still have to continue studying the Beast Scripture. Only then can I continuously strengthen my trump card!”
He had a feeling. In this place, the Beast Scripture was probably very important. This was because Beast Spirit Treasures required the power of strange beasts to activate, and the source of the power of strange beasts was the strange beasts. Similarly, the Beast Scripture also originated from strange beasts. Therefore, once he encountered an enemy with a powerful Beast Spirit Treasure, he could only rely on the Beast Scripture when he had no way to resist.
“In the end, my methods are still too little!” Shen Ping frowned and stood up. Initially, he thought that he had many trump cards that were enough to protect him. At the very least, he could save his life when facing a Divine Transformation cultivator. However, now that he had encountered the Beast Patterned Golden Core demon of the foreign races, he realized that he was a little narrow-minded.
Compared to other ordinary cultivators, he could indeed be considered a genius by relying on his virtual interface. However, in front of those powerful foreign race geniuses, his methods were probably not enough.
It was still the same thing. There was always someone better. The virtual interface was strong, but some cultivators were born at the peak. The point that many cultivators tried their best to pursue were just the starting point of others.
Shen Ping knew this very well. In his previous life, the money he earned with his hard work for a year was not comparable to others’ expenditure of a meal. This life was the same in this world. After all, there would always be some lucky people who could only be envied.
He put away his emotions. He quickly left this place. With the experience of the cave flames, Shen Ping did not dare to stay in one place for too long. In the next two days, his luck seemed to have worsened. He did not find a single strange stone.
The surrounding environment was a dark rock cave that remained unchanged. Occasionally, he would encounter a scene like the pool. Fortunately, he did not encounter other foreign race cultivators.
During this period, he took the time to familiarize himself with the three beast spirit treasures, the long whip, the small blue umbrella, and the golden hammer, he had obtained. It was not difficult to control and activate them. As long as he had enough strange beast power, he could unleash their true power.
Shen Ping gave it a simple try. For example, if he wanted to release 30 golden hammer phantoms, he would need at least 100 wisps of the power of strange beasts. Unfortunately, he had absorbed two strange stones and only had 23 wisps in his dantian.
Initially, he thought that the power of strange beasts was endless and difficult to use up. However, after activating the beast spirit treasure, he realized how naive he was. The power of strange beasts could almost be used up in one go.
The only thing that made him gratified was that the absorbed and refined strange beast power would slowly recover, but the recovery time was very slow. He could only recover a wisp every day. Therefore, Shen Ping was even more aware of the importance of the strange rock.
Buzz-
On this day, just as he was walking slowly, he heard an ear-piercing buzzing sound. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw a fluorescent light that suddenly appeared in the darkness in the distance. This fluorescent light was a familiar reddish-gold color.
Strange stone! There was no hesitation. Shen Ping immediately rushed over, but when he was about to approach, he suddenly stopped. He was vigilant of his surroundings and carefully used his divine sense to sense. He threw out a few talismans to illuminate the surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, he went forward with a happy expression. However, the moment he stretched out his hand and activated the power of the strange beast to touch the strange stone, a terrifying suction force enveloped his entire body.
Before he could react, he disappeared on the spot.
When he regained consciousness, Shen Ping immediately regretted it. He thought to himself that he was still dumbfounded by greed. The strange stone that appeared out of thin air was obviously abnormal. However, although he was vigilant, he did not think in that direction and fell for it.
“Haha, this is the Heaven Ascension Hall of the underground palace. It only appears once every hundred years. This time, we’ve finally encountered it!”
“It’s said that a high-grade beast spirit treasure has appeared in the Heaven Ascension Hall. Once we obtain any of it, we will have the means to run rampant. Senior Brother, we must seize this opportunity this time!”
“Don’t worry. Although we’re not very strong in the underground palace, we can be ranked in the top if we join forces. Moreover, the Heaven Ascension Hall will last for a long time. You and I have enough time to plan. Let’s explore the surroundings first. The Heaven Ascension Hall is complicated and dangerous. We can’t be careless!”
“Yes, Senior Brother!”
Just as Shen Ping was feeling regretful, he suddenly heard a conversation. He looked up. Only then did he realize that he was in a narrow room. The walls of the room seemed to be made of a strange metal material. Apart from that, what was even more strange was that he could actually see the foreign race disciples next door through the wall.
“The underground palace. Heaven Ascension Hall. High-grade Beast Spirit Treasure…” Shen Ping took a deep breath. He knew that he seemed to have arrived at a place of treasures. It seemed that the strange stone that suddenly appeared should be some kind of opportunity. However, to him, this opportunity was not friendly. After all, he had just entered the Strange Beast Gate and did not even know the most basic information..
