The next day on the third floor of Yunsheng Restaurant, in a room by the window, Shen Ping saw the True Immortal senior who had come to visit. However, he was using his master’s identity as Fellow Daoist Xu. His face had been changed by a Dharma treasure, and he looked much more handsome and refined than before. This True Immortal senior looked like an ordinary middle-aged man. There was no aura fluctuation on his body, but he could sense the other party’s deep pressure. He first bowed. “Greetings, Immortal Lord Lai He.”
True Immortal Lai He revealed a smile and gestured for Shen Ping to sit down. Then, he looked at the lively and bustling streets outside the window and said with emotion, “The scenery of this city is different from that of the Immortal Realm. It’s rare for me to come to this mortal world to cultivate. It’s also an interesting thing.”
Shen Ping hurriedly said, “If Senior is willing, you can stay here for a few more days.”
True Immortal Lai He laughed, “I’ve been staying in this city for the past few years. It seems as though you don’t know this. Rumor has it that you are the Dao Protector of a Beast Spirit genius of our human race and are an Immortal. Now that I’ve seen you today, I finally understand just how ridiculous this is. Fellow Daoist Xu, it’s really surprising that you can kill the strongest Itinerant Immortal of the various races at the Mahayana Realm.”
Shen Ping did not deliberately restrain his cultivation aura. Of course, even if he deliberately concealed it, he could not hide it from a true immortal. He said sincerely, “Immortal Lord, to be honest, I’m Shen Ping. The identity of the disciple is just to hide from the outside.”
True Immortal Lai He was not too surprised. In fact, the moment he saw Shen Ping, he had already guessed it. After all, this Fellow Daoist Xu had previously displayed a Tribulation Transcendence in the Spirit Race, Devil Clan, and other clans. There were not many methods that could temporarily increase his cultivation realm greatly. Moreover, even if he had advanced to the Tribulation Transcendence realm, it was impossible for him to easily kill a Tenth Tribulation Itinerant Immortal. Therefore, he was certain that the person in front of him was definitely a beast spirit genius of the human race.
“The Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, and the others have always been afraid of us humans. As a Beast Spirit genius and having revealed your potential on the Beast Spirit Ranking, it’s only right for you to have some defensive methods.”
True Immortal Lai He continued, “The reason I invited you to meet this time is mainly because Golden Immortal Li from the Starry Sea wants to confirm something. There’s no need to ask anything now.”
Golden Immortal Li wanted to know if Shen Ping had any immortal-level Dao Protectors by his side. If he did, he would have to make other arrangements. He took a sip of wine. “My job in Gray Stone City is mainly to detect the infiltration of the Immortal Dao experts of the Demon Race in the city. If you have any questions, you can ask now. If there’s no instructions from the Starry Sea in the future, it’s better for us to meet less.”
Shen Ping immediately asked, “Senior, how’s the situation in the sea of stars?”
True Immortal Lai He seemed to have known that Shen Ping would ask this question. He said almost without thinking, “It’s still stable for the time being. Although the various races have sent many Golden Immortal experts, there’s a powerful immortal array at the Star Sea defense line. In addition, my race’s Golden Immortals are guarding it. Even if the various races charge into the array frequently, it will take at least a thousand years to break through.”
Shen Ping asked again, “What about the infiltration of the Demon Race in the western region of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness?”
“Three Ancient Demons and dozens of True Demons infiltrated. They once wanted to infiltrate Gray Stone City, but after sensing my aura, they immediately escaped. However, the Demon Race has many methods, so the detection on the surface is not completely guaranteed.
“Of course, you don’t have to worry too much. It’s not easy for the Immortal Dao experts of the Demon Race to descend from the Canglan Demon Realm and infiltrate through the spatial rift. Ordinary cultivators will be in danger if they pass through the spatial rift. The Immortal Dao experts are even more dangerous. The stronger their cultivation, the easier it is to get lost in the spatial turbulence in the spatial crack. Therefore, the Ancient Demon is basically the limit to infiltrate.
“Moreover, if there are really Ancient Demons in the city, the Heavenly Immortal seniors guarding nearby will arrive in a few breaths.”
True Immortal Lai He explained in detail, making Shen Ping feel at ease. Although he was not a match for the Ancient Demon, it was impossible for the Ancient Demon to infiltrate the City Lord Manor. With the power of the Immortal Array in the City Lord Manor, there was no need to worry about the Demon Race attacking.
Next, Shen Ping asked a few more questions. True Immortal Lai He answered in detail. Before he left, he specially reminded Shen Ping to focus on cultivation and not worry about anything else.
Canglan Demon Realm.
Hundreds of True Demons and Ancient Demons turned the entire cultivation world upside down, but they did not find Shen Ping. They immediately knew that it was very likely that Shen Ping had escaped back to the Abyss of Supreme Darkness through the spatial crack under their noses.
“Damn it! After killing True Demon Khouri, he actually didn’t dare to show his face. I thought he was very capable!”
“This guy is really slippery. We didn’t discover anything even after guarding the spatial rift. Doesn’t that mean that he can come and go as he pleases?”
The group of True Demons and Ancient Demons all had ugly expressions, and the Level Two Ancient Demon in the lead was even gloomier. It was not easy for him to take advantage of the Beast Spirit genius to make stupid actions to kill him in one go. In the end, he did not even find a trace of him after searching for a few months. How could they explain to the Starry Sea?
“You guys continue to guard the spatial rift.”
He had no choice. The Level 2 Ancient Demon in the lead still braced himself and returned. He descended to the starry sea defense line of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness again and reported everything that had happened in the Canglan Demon Realm.
“Not only does that kid have powerful escape techniques, but he also has a very brilliant method to hide his aura. We can’t sense him at all..”
