Chapter 399: Extreme Increase of Strength

Shen Ping’s expression changed as he looked at the door. He knew that what his master said made sense. Even if it was a divination, it might not be a desperate situation. However, all along, other than encountering true danger at the bottom of the Cloud Mountain Parlour, everything else was basically smooth sailing and there was not much danger.
And now, such danger, or rather, a calamity in cultivation, was coming. Phew.
Ha.
He took a few deep breaths.
Shen Ping suppressed the nervousness in his heart and began to make preparations. First, he took out the five beast puppets he had refined. Then, he pasted the Six Shield Talisman and other talismans that could defend or slow down attacks on the surface of the puppet beasts.
Other than that, he also took out his powerful personal defensive formation plate and activated it at any time.
Lastly, he activated the sky-blue parasol and the three-striped earth-colored pearl. Instantly, his entire body was covered in a thick layer of blue armor. There was also an earth-colored pearl floating at his waist. If he suddenly faced an attack, the pearl would automatically form a powerful defensive spiritual barrier. This spiritual barrier was not only strong in defense, but it could also reflect attacks.
After doing this, twenty complete Talisman Beast Diagrams appeared in his sleeve. Currently, these methods were almost the strongest attack and defense that Shen Ping could use. The rest could only be left to fate.
Whoosh. He looked up, Shen Ping stepped through the door without hesitation. The door carved with strange patterns flickered a few times before slowly dissipating. Inside the door was not another room, but a metal corridor about a thousand feet long. He did not know if there was a mechanism inside, so he could only brace himself and walk forward.
Unexpectedly, this passageway was very safe. He did not encounter any danger at the end. On the other hand, Shen Ping had consumed a lot of the power of strange beasts to activate the two beast spiritual treasures. However, he still did not stop activating it. Compared to his own life, this bit of strange beast power consumption was nothing.
There was another door at the end. After stepping over, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Shen Ping appeared in a vast palace hall. There were twelve huge pillars in the hall. Each pillar was carved with different strange beast patterns. He walked out of one of the pillars. At the same time, cultivators stood in front of the other five or six pillars.
But strangely, they did not attack when they saw Shen Ping. However, Shen Ping quickly knew the reason. There seemed to be an invisible binding force in the palace hall. Any energy used would be negated.
“Humans. Looks like you’re the beast-patterned Golden Core cultivator born recently!”
At this moment, an indifferent voice sounded from a nearby stone pillar.
Shen Ping was not surprised. The cultivators of the other races he had killed in the past five years had also said such things. It seemed that many races knew that humans had given birth to a Beast-patterned Golden Core.
“Tsk tsk, you just entered the Strange Beast Gate for a few years and came to the Heaven Ascension Hall. I really don’t know if you’re lucky or unlucky!” “To be able to reach this place, your methods are not bad. Unfortunately…” What’s there to pity? The death of the human race is not worth pitying.” Among the five or six living beings and cultivators of various races, there were devils, demons, and Spirit Race… They were all powerful races on the Myriad Spirit Ranking.
Shen Ping’s expression did not change, but he was very vigilant in his heart. Although he did not know where he was, since it was a divination, there must be some unknown danger. He stood still and waited. The cultivators of the other races were the same.
Time passed slowly.
Two days passed. Cultivators from other races walked out of the remaining pillars. When they saw Shen Ping, their eyes revealed surprise at the same time. Clearly, they did not expect the human race’s beast-patterned Golden Core to walk out alive.
In fact, if not for the powerful Talisman Dao Mystique and the puppet beast, Shen Ping would have died not long after entering. The genius Golden Core cultivators of the other races would not have thought that there would be a living being of the human race who could perfectly fuse the strange beast talisman diagram.
Buzz-
At this moment, the twelve stone pillars suddenly trembled. Then, the strange beast pattern carved on them seemed to come to life and transformed into huge phantoms that flew into the sky above the hall with endless pressure. The faces of the twelve cultivators, including Shen Ping, were faintly pale. Under this pressure, they could not move.
When the phantom disappeared, the twelve stone pillars suddenly shattered. In an instant, a large number of stone pillar fragments condensed into stone steps. Every stone pillar condensed into stone steps that led to the sky above the hall. Every side of these steps had seven different colors.
“Stairway to Heaven!”
“It’s the Stairway to Heaven!”
Excited voices sounded in Shen Ping’s ears. He secretly sized up the other cultivators of the various races and saw that they had either taken out some special Dharma treasures or used some item. There were also some who seemed to have started divination before stepping onto the stone steps. He first faced the red spot on the first stone step and did a divination. Soon, the result of the divination was ominous. He immediately changed to the orange spot and it was the same result again… until he finished divining every color. Shen Ping took a deep breath and stepped onto the green spot on the stairs. The other five colors were ominous, two were auspicious, and the green color was auspicious.
The moment his foot touched the green spot, waves of majestic strange beast energy quickly surged into his body. His eyes widened. He did not expect there to be such an opportunity on the stone steps. After coming back to his senses, he immediately circulated the power of the strange beasts in his body and greedily absorbed the energy of these strange beasts.
An hour passed. Only then did the strange beast energy from the stone steps completely dissipate. On the other hand, the power of the strange beast in Shen Ping’s body had increased by more than ten thousand wisps. It was simply an unexpected surprise.
According to this situation, he only needed to do it again to successfully break through to the late-stage Golden Core realm with the power of the strange beast. No wonder the other living beings could not hide their excitement after knowing that this was the Stairway to Heaven.
Next, Shen Ping continued his divination step by step. This was because each stone step had seven colors. It was obvious that only by stepping on the auspicious position would one have this lucky chance. As for the other dangerous positions, one could die if they were not careful.
It could be said that the Stairway to Heaven was filled with both danger and opportunity.
If one was not prepared and did not have the means to predict or divine danger, it was definitely impossible to pass. However, the cultivators of the various races who could reach this place were not simple. They naturally had such methods on them, so Shen Ping was not surprised.
The second stone step was red. The step no longer increased the strength of
the strange beast, but the physique.
In just an hour, Shen Ping’s physique had transformed to another level. The bones and tendons in his body had increased greatly, especially the surface of his bones. The patterns that were originally suffused with a trace of golden luster were already flickering with golden light.
He opened the virtual interface. The Vajra Body column had shockingly become the Large Success Vajra Body. Currently, he could easily kill Foundation Establishment cultivators with just his physical strength. He was not inferior to Golden Core experts who cultivated body cultivation at all.
Then, it was the third. The fourth one. He had safely reached the twelfth divination. Shen Ping’s cultivation had already reached the Perfected Golden Core Realm. He was only a trace away from condensing his Nascent Soul. In addition, his physique, divine sense, soul power, and total magic power had all undergone a fundamental transformation.
The cultivators of the other races also gained a lot. Among them, the aura of the demon cultivator had clearly increased a lot. He seemed to have reached the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.
“Tsk tsk, as expected of the Stairway to Heaven. In less than a day, it has reborn us. If we were outside, we would need at least hundreds of years of accumulation to improve like this!”
“This bit of opportunity is nothing. This place is the Strange Beast Gate and contains the secret of longevity. Even many Immortal Dao experts covet it. However, there are opportunities and dangers on the Stairway to Heaven. It’s still unknown if we can walk out alive!”
I didn’t expect that human to be good at divination. He’s really lucky!” The other cultivators of the various races did not hide their conversation. They were not afraid that Shen Ping would hear them.
Shen Ping ignored them. He directly stepped out of the twelfth step, and the scene in front of him instantly repeated. He appeared in a narrow room again, and there were seven doors in the room that were the same color as the steps’ There was no hesitation. He continued his divination. It did not take long for him to walk through the purple door. There was another metal passageway inside the door, but the difference was that there was a burly figure standing quietly in front..
