Chapter 587: Shen Ping’s Limit (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Curiosity and doubt flashed in Shen Ping’s eyes. He took out his silk blade and gently slashed at the translucent scale armor. The high-grade silk blade that could easily dissipate Void Refinement and Body Integration cultivators did not leave any traces.
Therefore, he injected some magic powers and slashed again, but still did not leave any traces. He switched to the Primordial Chaos Spear and stabbed forcefully. Only then did he barely leave a mark on the transparent scales.
This defense is too shocking. It’s simply comparable to a high-grade beast spirit treasure like palace armor!”
Several hours passed. After continuous experimentation, he finally had a clearer understanding of the changes in the 20 beast blood’s essences he had consumed.
That semi-transparent scale armor could be called the strange beast armor. It indeed had extremely strong defense, but it was related to the beast blood’s essence in his body. When he came into contact with his meridians, it would directly appear. However, it could only last for ten minutes. Moreover, it was clearly depleting the meridians formed by a large amount of beast blood’s essence.
In addition, in the state of scales, the power of his Beast Spirit Treasure would increase again, about 10%. It was better than nothing.
Overall, after becoming a Beast Spirit, the main difference between consuming ten and twenty pills was the condensation of the mysterious meridian and the perception of strange fluctuations, as well as the translucent scales. As for the overall strength, it did not increase much.
After tidying, Shen Ping continued to consume the beast blood’s essence. However, just as he consumed the 21st pill, the huge beast roar pressure directly made him faint. The beast blood’s essence in his body instantly dissipated. Clearly, 20 pills was the limit he could withstand now. ’’From the looks of it, the difficulty of the Beast Blood’s Essence will increase every ten pills!”
He was not disappointed. After all, it was already a pleasant surprise to be able to use his strange beast talent to consume twenty at once. Moreover, he had a feeling that the mysterious fluctuation was definitely not simple. As long as he persisted in sensing it, he believed that he would definitely be able to touch the fluctuation.
A few days later, Shen Ping walked out of the quiet room after calming down and adjusting himself. Although he wanted to continue his seclusion, he had to deal with the current situation. Moreover, cultivation needed to be relaxed. This time, his improvement in becoming a Beast Spirit was very great. In particular, his comprehension of the Beast Scripture could be said to have increased by leaps and bounds. He indeed needed time to settle down.
He walked out of the bedroom courtyard. He was in an especially good mood as he walked slowly along the spacious path. His sudden increase in strength brought him great confidence. If it was before, he would inevitably feel a trace of worry even if he had many methods to protect himself against the powerful attacks of the Devil Clan and the Spirit Race. However, it was completely different now.
Colorful flowers bloomed on both sides of the road, and the fragrance of flowers filled his nose. Looking up, the sky covered by the array was clean and bright, and the air was filled with a pure immortal aura. Just taking a sniff would make one feel refreshed.
It had been many years since Shen Ping had taken a leisurely walk like this. Even if he had such leisure, he did not have such a mentality. Just like that, he arrived at the corridor in front of the pavilion by the lake with a smile on his face.
The vast lake was as calm as a mirror. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow, causing ripples. There was no one in the pavilion. His wife, concubine, and Dao companions were now dealing with the matters of the various cities. In wartime, they needed a core with enough say to deal with the decisions. His children were also in the True Treasure Pavilion.
He walked to the pavilion and not long after he sat down, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared beside him. It was Fairy Luo Xia, Yue Lingluo.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw the satisfaction in Shen Ping’s eyes. Hence, she smiled and took out a cup of spiritual tea to make for Shen Ping. She said softly, “It seems that you’ve gained a lot from your seclusion this time.”
Shen Ping reached out and hugged Yue Lingluo’s slender waist. “That’s indeed so. After cultivating until now, I finally have enough strength to protect myself in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness.”
In the past, no matter how strong he was, there were people in the entire Abyss of Supreme Darkness who were stronger than him. However, after becoming a Beast Spirit, coupled with top-notch Beast Spirit Treasure and many methods, he could even fight a True Immortal now. Furthermore, the Abyss of Supreme ’ Darkness was restricted and suppressed. It was difficult for immortal Dao experts to unleash their true strength, so he was very confident in his words.
Be it the Spirit Race, the Devil Clan, or powerful Itinerant Immortals like the Tai Hua Sect, he did not have to be afraid of anything. Of course, the most important thing was that through the Beast Spirit, he knew that the future of this path was limitless.
“Congratulations on your improvement!” Yue Lingluo’s eyes lit up as she hurriedly congratulated him.
Shen Ping took a sip of the spiritual tea. After reminiscing about the taste of the spiritual tea, he asked about the recent situation in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness.
Only then did Yue Lingluo say with a solemn expression, “The Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, and the other alliance teams are coming aggressively. In addition, there are the True Demon and Ancient Demons of the Demon Clan disturbing’ us. Now, one-third of the cities under the jurisdiction of our True Treasure Pavilion have been destroyed. Thirty-six of them have been completely destroyed, and a large number of cultivators have died. Moreover, the situation in the Penglai Immortal City is not optimistic.
“However, the ten core cities are currently protected by an immortal array and are not affected. Actually, these are not affected. I’m still worried about the True Demon and Ancient Demons that have infiltrated through the spatial rifts of the Demon Race. Their methods are impossible to guard against. If they infiltrate Gray Stone City, it’s inevitable that some accidents will happen.”
Shen Pmg nodded. The True Demons and Ancient Demons were powerful. Even with the suppression of the laws of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, it was not something an Itinerant Immortal could deal with, especially since some Demon Races were good at controlling and charming people. Unless the City Lord Manor did not come into contact with the outside world at all, it was very likely that they would infiltrate.
He was not afraid, but if anything happened to his wife, concubines, Dao companions, and children, it would be terrible.
I’ve already put strict control over the residence. As long as it’s someone leaving the residence, I’ll supervise.” With that said, Yue Lingluo said, “By the way, the Supreme Elder of the Penglai Immortal City’s Tai Hua Sect and Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling live in Gray Stone City. They have visited a few times. Do you want to meet them?”
“Alright, let’s meet. In this situation, the Tai Hua Sect really needs to do something.” Shen Ping said casually.
The next morning, he saw Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling again in a room beside the main hall. Her bearing remained unchanged, and her aura was even more unique. However, compared to before, there was less arrogance in her eyes. Clearly, she knew Shen Ping’s identity.
Beside her was a thin old man who seemed to be in his twilight years. Although there was no aura on his body, he could clearly feel the mental pressure.
“Greetings, Itinerant Immortal seniors.” Shen Ping bowed.
The old man chuckled and said, “Pavilion Master Shen, there’s no need to be so polite. On the other hand, the two of us took the liberty to visit and disturbed your cultivation.”
They exchanged a few simple pleasantries. The three of them sat down. The skinny old man introduced himself first. “I’m the Supreme Elder of the Tai Hua Sect, Hua Yun. I’m a Tenth Tribulation Itinerant Immortal. This is Elder Hong Ling from the sect. You already know her. I came to visit mainly because of some unhappiness with Pavilion Master Shen.”
Supreme Elder Hua Yun was very straightforward. “Whether it’s the matter of the Demon Sect or Hong Ling’s targeting of your master, it’s my Tai Hua Sect’s fault. I hope Pavilion Master Shen can forgive us for the sake of the human race. No matter how we apologize, my Tai Hua Sect is willing.”
His attitude was sincere. However, Shen Ping shook his head and said, “Senior Hua, if you’re here for this, the two of you should return. Let’s not talk about my master for now. Just the matter of colluding with the Demon Sect, please forgive me for being unable to tolerate it.”
Hua Yun did not say anything, and Hong Ling could not help but say, “Pavilion Master Shen, that’s not the case. Itinerant Immortals are very in need of the resources of the Demon Race. If you reach that realm, you will naturally do the same. Cultivation is cruel to begin with. I believe you have done some things that are difficult to show to others at your cultivation level.”
Shen Ping said indifferently, “Although cultivation is cruel and the strong prey on the weak, disregarding the bottom line of the human race for the sake of resources is not the path of cultivation for us.”
Seeing that Elder Hong Ling was about to say something, Hua Yun interrupted with a smile, “There’s no need to get involved in this matter. Since Pavilion Master Shen doesn’t like it, our Tai Hua Sect will naturally change in the future.. However, now that the human race in the western district of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness is in danger, Pavilion Master Shen won’t ignore it, right?”
