The next day, Shen Ping saw the An sisters again at the exit of Black Fiend Valley. They seemed to have dressed up carefully. The younger sister, An Yue, was wearing an aqua blue embroidered dress. Her sleeves were inlaid with white patterns that were like suet jade. There was an exquisite jade pendant hanging at her waist. Although it did not look too decorated, it gave off a refreshing feeling.
Her sister was wearing a rose-purple long dress, which made her look natural and charming. Her exquisite curves accentuated the curves of her chest.
“Senior Shen.” The two women bowed.
Shen Ping casually waved his hand and said, “Fellow Daoists, you’re welcome.”
They exchanged a few simple pleasantries. They boarded the merchant ship.
Boom. As the flying ship’s array formation was activated, it quickly turned into a ray of light and sped towards the sky.
Compared to the large flying ship of the True Treasure Pavilion, be it in terms of grade or construction materials, the merchant ship seemed a little rough. Shen Ping glanced at it and thought to himself that the flying ship was probably only a mid-grade Dharma treasure. It might only be able to withstand the attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
An Zhi noticed Shen Ping’s gaze and a smile appeared on her lips. “Senior Shen, the grade of this flying ship is not high. It’s mainly because we’re worried that cultivators from other races will covet it on the way. Now that the status of the human race is weakening day by day, many races dare to target us. Using such a flying ship will reduce a lot of trouble.”
Shen Ping was enlightened. The higher the grade of the flying ship, the stronger the caravan would be. In the past, when the human race was at its peak, even if their strength was not much different or far exceeded the human race, the other races did not dare to casually target the caravan. If they provoked someone with a background, the situation would be terrible.
However, it was different now. Not to mention that the human cultivation families in Gray Stone City and Black Fiend Valley only had so much strength, even if they encountered someone with a background, the other races would not be afraid.
“Human…” He could not help but mutter. Most Immortal cultivators did it for themselves. Not to mention their race, even their families would sometimes forget about it for the sake of benefits. Therefore, in the cultivation world, strength was the foundation. However, ever since he left the five continents and four seas, he had heard a lot about the situation of this human race.
All of this was related to the Myriad Spirit Ranking.
Thinking of this, Shen Ping looked sideways at An Zhi and asked, “Fellow Daoist An, do you know the exact situation of the Myriad Spirit Ranking?”
An Zhi shook her head helplessly, “The Myriad Spirit Ranking involves the entire human race. My cultivation level is only at the Golden Core realm, so how can I know the secrets? I only know that after the Myriad Spirit Ranking appeared, the strength of the cultivators of the demons and other races increased significantly.
“I heard from my An family’s ancestor that tens of thousands of years ago, the best business of the caravan was the cultivation resources of the demons and other races. There were more Divine Transformation cultivators and even Void Refinement Realm cultivators in Black Fiend Valley and Gray Stone City. Occasionally, there would be Body Integration Almighties stopping. But now, the caravan can only operate some minerals, pills, magic treasures, and so on. Many materials that involve other races are even more precious. Once there are people who manage the materials of the demons, they will be directly killed by powerful cultivators sent by the demons.
“Therefore, even in Gray Stone City, there are very few Void Refinement Realm cultivators among us human cultivators. If we don’t rely on magic treasures, formations, talismans, and other methods, I’m afraid the human race will even lose the cultivation place where they reproduce and live.”
An Zhi could not help but remind him, “Senior Shen, the journey from Black Fiend Valley to Gray Stone City is not far. The other races are fine, but I’m afraid we will encounter demon cultivators. As long as they encounter us humans, they will definitely attack and kill us.”
The demons were not demonic cultivators. Their cultivation system was different from humans. They paid more attention to their bodies and bloodlines. Apart from that, the most obvious thing was that the aura on their bodies was more inclined to darkness. Moreover, it would corrode the magic power of human cultivators.
If human demonic cultivators obtained the secret cultivation technique of the Demon Race, most of them would change cultivation without hesitation. Some would even change their bodies to the Demon Race’s bloodline. This was because the cultivation of the Demon Race’s system was more direct. As long as they could strengthen their bloodline, they could continue to improve. On the other hand, human cultivation needed to temper their realm and increase the magic power in their dantian. Moreover, there was a bottleneck.
For example, Spring Garden was mainly a bloodline cultivation. However, that cultivation relied on the energy contained in the bloodline to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It also paid attention to accumulation. It was different from the plundering of the demons.
Therefore, as long as humans discovered demons in their cultivation places, they would do everything they could to kill them. It was the same for the demons now.
“As long as I don’t encounter a Divine Transformation Realm demon cultivator, I will attack appropriately without endangering my life.” Shen Ping said.
An Zhi hurriedly cupped her hands. “Thank you, Senior Shen.”
In the next few days, the merchant ship encountered cultivators from other races along the way. However, seeing that the grade of the flying ship was not high, it tried to attack and did not easily break through the array formation.
The place where the Human Race’s Immortal Dao prospered.
The majestic immortal palace was filled with colorful auspicious clouds. Not far away, various auspicious beasts flew past from time to time. Abundant and dense immortal spiritual energy filled the air. Some places even formed immortal spiritual waterfalls that flowed down the immortal mountain.
Even if an immortal cultivated here, it would be twice the result with half the effort.
At this moment, several ethereal figures gradually condensed in the depths of the immortal palace.
Among them, an old man in a wide-sleeved robe with white hair and beard looked indifferently at both sides. “The change in the Myriad Spirit Ranking and the sudden rise of our human race’s ranking must be related to the Nine Continents Tower. Back then, in order to avoid the pursuit of the demons and devils, the two Venerables, Ling Yun and Baotian, disappeared with the Nine Continents Tower. They did not even tell us their whereabouts. That was why they could protect the Nine Continents Tower and the suppressed Heaven Beast, allowing our human race to have our own strange beast. Unfortunately, our human bloodline is thin and it’s difficult to give birth to a beast-patterned Golden Core. However, it seems that the two Venerables have nurtured our human race’s beast-patterned Golden Core!
“The other races will do everything they can to find the Nine Continents Tower and kill the beast-patterned Golden Core of our human race. This matter concerns the rise and fall of our human race. What good plans do you have?”
An ethereal figure said, “Only by entering the Strange Beast Gate can it affect the Myriad Spirit Ranking. No cultivator of our human race has been in the Strange Beast Gate until now and has missed many opportunities. Now that a junior has finally entered, we should naturally help him obtain the Beast Spirit Treasure and many strange items.
“Therefore, we must find the Nine Continents Tower and this junior now. I suggest that we use our spies in the demons and devils to find out some of their recent movements at all costs. The demons and devils all have strange beasts. They can use special methods to find the approximate location of other strange beasts. As long as we follow these two races, we can find the Nine Continents Tower!”
The other figures nodded. The human race had lost the Nine Continents Tower for a long time and had always been searching non-stop. However, there was no news of the two Venerables. As a result, even if they knew that a beast-patterned Golden Core cultivator had appeared, as immortal cultivators, they could not protect him immediately.
In the lofty palace in the distant core territory of the demon race. Its huge body prostrated. “Reporting to the Venerable Sovereign, we’ve already completely investigated the approximate location of the Heaven Beast. It’s in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness in the lower realm. In addition, we learned through some means that the Skeleton Race and the Taka Race have arrived at the Abyss of Supreme Darkness.”
Whoosh. The towering figure that was like a continuous mountain range swayed slightly. Immediately, a large number of strange flames and ice flowers condensed around it. Soon, a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate space looked at the huge body. “The danger zone of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. I see. No wonder we demon experts were unable to detect it for a long time. Send our devils to the Abyss of Supreme Darkness immediately to kill this beast-patterned Golden Core of the human race.”
“Yes, Venerable Sovereign!”
At the same time, other races that had discovered the approximate location also sent powerful cultivators to the lower realm. However, the Abyss of Supreme Darkness was relatively special. Even Itinerant Immortal experts could not quickly cross the four regions..
