Although Shen Ping felt some pressure, it was not much. After all, with the virtual interface, as long as he was given time, he would definitely catch up.
As they did not know when the Beast Spirit Ranking would open and what kind of situation it would be, the two of them did not have any in-depth communication after that. Instead, they exchanged their Dao techniques at the last minute. As the days passed, the number of Beast Spirit geniuses on the third level of the underground palace increased day by day. Even if the two of them specially chose a remote location, they could sense other Beast Spirit geniuses. This was also the main reason why Shen Ping did not follow Yin Ting. Rumble-
He stayed for a month before the entire underground palace suddenly trembled. Immediately after, a colorful vortex appeared in midair. The moment all the Beast Spirit geniuses saw this vortex, they felt a gentle suction force envelop them. Even Shen Ping did not react and quickly entered the colorful vortex.
Whoosh.
When he appeared again, Shen Ping and Yin Ting were already standing in a spacious plaza that looked a little like white marble. There were circular stone pillars around the plaza. The stone pillars were engraved with strange patterns. These patterns were not patterns of strange beasts, but they had never seen them before.
“So many Beast Spirit geniuses?”
When he came back to his senses, he looked around and saw that the surroundings were densely packed with living beings of various forms and appearances. Their bodies emitted the fluctuations of magical power of strange beasts.
Yin Ting frowned. “This square is a little special. It’s like a special environment in the Heaven Ascension Hall. I can’t use the magic power and divine sense in my body.”
Shen Ping nodded. He had long discovered this, but he did not find it strange. Clearly, this place should be related to the Beast Spirit Ranking. If so many Beast Spirit geniuses came in at once without restraint, it would definitely be a mess. Once a conflict arose, no one could stay out of it.
It s the Beast Spirit Ranking!!” Someone shouted.
Many Beast Spirit geniuses looked at the huge ranking list that was gradually condensing in the middle of the square at the same time. On the ranking list, a line of words that looked like tadpoles appeared.
It’s the divine runes of immortal seals. It means an hour. Could it be that there’s still an hour before the Beast Spirit Ranking officially opens?” Shen Ping did not recognize this kind of immortal seal divine rune, but there was no lack of Beast Spirit geniuses who recognized it. If it was really a countdown, how should the Beast Spirit Ranking be activated?
Many Beast Spirit geniuses were deep in thought. However, there were also some geniuses whose eyes flickered. Clearly, they knew some information. Lian Xuejin had also told Shen Ping that the Beast Spirit Ranking this time was similar to the Trial Tower, so he appeared calm and composed.
“It’s World Deity Mountain’s Realm Race. I didn’t expect them to appear as well.”
“There’s also the Stone Clan.”
“Skeleton Clan, Totem Divine Clan…”
Many Beast Spirit geniuses quickly noticed some special-looking living beings in the square.
Shen Ping could not help but look over curiously.
Among the top ten powerful races on the Myriad Spirit Ranking, other than the Devil Clan, the Spirit Clan, the Flame Clan, the Winged Clan, and the Demon Clan, the other races were relatively mysterious. For example, the Realm Clan, which was ranked first, was said to be the descendants of strange beasts. Every clansman was born to be able to enter the Strange Beast Gate. Moreover, the speed at which they comprehended the concept and might of strange beasts was extremely fast. Even weak children could easily comprehend the level of beast skin and 50% of the concept.
Yin Ting whispered into his ear, “I heard from my master that the Realm Race, the Stone Race, the Skeleton Race, and the Totem Divine Race all came from a special area. They were born with the bloodline of strange beasts. In the beginning, they occupied the top five of the Myriad Spirit Ranking. However, because there were few clansmen, they were gradually surpassed by the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, and other races.
“Usually, the Beast Spirit geniuses of these races will not come to the Strange Beast Gate.”
At the same time that Shen Ping was enlightened, he could not help but ask, “Then how can they improve themselves?”
As everyone knew, Beast Spirit geniuses could only increase their magic powers and break through their cultivation in the Strange Beast Gate.
Yin Ting shook her head, “I’m not sure. It’s very likely that they have other sources of absorbing the energy of strange beasts. If nothing goes wrong, the geniuses of the Realm Clan will occupy the top of the Beast Spirit Ranking this time.”
Shen Ping asked again, “What level are the prodigies of the Realm Race?” Yin Ting hesitated for a moment before bitterly smiling, “A complete strange beast level!”
Shen Ping:
Looking at Shen Ping’s dumbfounded expression, Yin Ting said again, “The prodigies of the Realm Race have completely comprehended the beast form, beast skin, beast bone, and beast blood.”
Shen Ping took a long time to come back to his senses. “H-how is this possible?
Since they have comprehended the entire strange beast, doesn’t that mean that they can erupt with the true power of the strange beast?”
Yin Ting first nodded, then shook her head. “Comprehending the entire strange beast doesn’t mean that it can be perfectly unleashed. I’m not sure about the exact situation either. I only know that it’s a deeper domain. However, the Realm Race has always been extraordinary and rarely interferes in the battles of the immortal Dao of the myriad races. Be it the Devil Clan, the Spirit Clan, or my Winged Clan, no one dares to provoke them.”
Shen Ping said bitterly, “It seems that I’m indeed a little ignorant.”
He had never heard of these things. The higher-ups of the Human Race’s Immortal Dao should know. However, they might not want him to be deeply affected, so they did not say anything.
Yin Ting comforted him, “Fellow Daoist Shen, your cultivation is still short. It’s normal that you can’t compare to these geniuses. I believe you can catch up to them sooner or later!”
“Thanks!” Shen Ping could tell that Yin Ting was only comforting him. In fact, no one would think that Shen Ping could really catch up to these prodigies. After all, the difference was too great. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was thousands of miles away.
He has broadened his horizons today. He really did not expect there to be a prodigy who had comprehended the entire strange beast. Although he had indeed suffered a blow, he felt more motivated.
The time displayed on the Beast Spirit Ranking passed bit by bit. More and more Beast Spirit geniuses entered the White Jade Square.
Until the number reached nearly 100,000, Shen Ping discovered almost every other Beast Spirit genius. This made him secretly speechless. It had to be known that the surrounding people were all Beast Spirit geniuses on the third level of the underground palace. He had never thought that there would be so many Beast Spirit geniuses on the first level.
Thinking of the fact that there were only two humans, he felt a heavy pressure in his heart.
A while later, the immortal seal divine runes on the rankings slowly disappeared. All the Beast Spirit geniuses were shocked. The rankings suddenly emitted a light that instantly enveloped the square. In the blink of an eye, the square was empty. There was no longer a Beast Spirit genius.
The Immortal Sovereigns and Immortal Venerables of the Spirit Race gathered under the towering green ancient tree.
“The Beast Spirit Ranking has opened.”
“I wonder if my clan can fight for first place this time!”
“I’m afraid it will be very difficult. With the Realm Clan here, our hope is extremely low. However, if we can occupy one of the top three positions, it will be very good.”
‘That’s right. From the various strangeness of the Strange Beast Gate and the information we obtained from the realm, the Strange Beast Gate is mainly to nurture Beast Spirit geniuses, and the Beast Spirit Ranking must be related to this matter.”
In the core territory of the Devil Clan, the star-sized Devil Clan’s Venerable Sovereign narrowed his eyes and looked at the boundary. “It’s rumored that only by crossing the realm sea can one obtain eternal life. The two Venerable Sovereigns of the human race are among them. Unfortunately, they are destined to be lost. Strange Beast Gate. Hmph, those Beast Spirit geniuses of my Devil Clan better not disappoint me!”
World Deity Mountain.
Several higher-ups of the Realm Race stood on the mountain peak and looked at the vast regional sea.
The Beast Spirit Ranking has finally been activated. As the descendants of strange beasts, our race will definitely be able to shine in this competition and obtain the secret of longevity in the end!”
“That’s right. After waiting for tens of thousands of years, our race is finally about to welcome the dawn!”
The Gate of the Strange Beast.
Shen Ping opened his eyes and realized that he was sitting cross-legged in a narrow stone house. When he got up, he quickly sensed that the magical power of the strange beast in his body had shrunk to the early-stage Nascent Soul realm. There was actually a string of divine runes in an immortal seal script on his arm. To his surprise, he could actually understand that this string of words represented the situation of the ranking.
He looked up, he first sized up the stone house and then wanted to take out the dazzling crystal, but he realized that he could not.
“Looks like I’m already in the state of competing for the rankings!” As he sighed, the immortal seal divine runes on his arm quickly changed..
