Time passed.
Two hundred years of stable life passed quietly. Shen Ping also welcomed his thousand-year birthday. It had been a thousand years since he stepped into cultivation, and his cultivation had also increased to the late-stage Mahayana Realm.
Taking advantage of his thousand years of lifespan, his wife, concubine, and Dao companions held a small-scale birthday banquet for him. The participants were all Itinerant Immortals of the various sects, elders in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. When Golden Immortal Li from the Starry Sea heard about it, he sent a Heavenly Immortal representative.
When the lively banquet ended, Lian Xuejin told Shen Ping a piece of good news. “Disciple, after such a long period of cultivation, I’ve finally completely grasped the secret technique bestowed by the True Treasure Immortal Platform. I can temporarily obtain a trace of authority over the Nine Provinces Tower. From today onwards, you, Pei Huoyu, and the others can freely enter and exit the five continents and four seas. Furthermore, the cultivators in the five continents and four seas can leave!”
This was a pleasant surprise. Shen Ping could not help but say excitedly, “That’s great, Master. With the Nine Continents Tower, my wife, concubine, and Dao companions won’t be in any danger anymore!”
Although he had exchanged for a supreme treasure in the palace, not to mention controlling authority, even refining it was a problem. Now that he could enter and leave the Nine Continents Tower freely, it meant that when he encountered a desperate situation, he, his wife, and Dao companions could enter the Nine Continents Tower. This was a supreme treasure of the human race. Even a powerful Immortal Venerable could not break it.
Apart from that, there was also the True Treasure Pavilion. Compared to the guest elders in the pavilion, he was still willing to believe in the Hall Masters of the True Treasure Pavilion established by his master. These Hall Masters were experts at the Body Integration realm. With their help, he believed that the True Treasure Pavilion would develop even faster.
Shen Ping had discussed this with his master. After all, the five continents and four seas were worlds nurtured by supreme treasures. Although they could cultivate, there were extremely huge restrictions. At most, they could reach the Mahayana Realm. Because his master was the disciple of the guardian, she could break through this restriction and advance to the True Immortal Realm.
Therefore, if the hall masters wanted to continue improving their cultivation, they had to leave the five continents and four seas. It just so happened that the True Treasure Pavilion in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness could allow them to adapt to the cultivation world outside. As for who wanted to develop themselves in the future, it was up to them.
Hence, the next day, Shen Ping asked his wife, concubines, and Dao companions to prepare. Five days later, Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Pei Huoyu, Bai Yuying, Qiuying, Luo Qing, Mu Jin and Yin Honglian were all waiting excitedly at the pavilion. They had left the Nine Continents Tower for hundreds of years. Back then, they were still at the Golden Core realm, but now, they had all reached the Divine Transformation realm. Such speed was rare even in the True Treasure Pavilion.
Compared to the City Lord Manor of Gray Stone City, they missed the cultivation world in their hometown more.
“Lingluo, after returning to the five continents and four seas, I might stay there for a few more days. In any case, I can return at any time. I’ll have to rely on you to oversee the City Lord Manor.”
Yue Lingluo knew that Shen Ping and Wang Yun were not cultivators from the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, so Shen Ping did not hide anything. He would not be leaving forever, so she did not feel any reluctance. It was the same for Jing Huilan and An Yue.
Actually, Wang Yun wanted them to follow along, but Yue Lingluo rejected her. The five continents and four seas were Shen Ping’s hometown, so they were not used to it.
As a dazzling light spread from the crystal, Shen Ping and the others instantly disappeared. When they appeared again, they were already in the main hall of the True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters island. When they looked up, they saw Lian Xuejin, the dignified, enchanting, charming, and cold Head Hall Master, sitting on the throne with a smile.
“After grasping a trace of authority in the Nine Continents Tower, there’s no need to pass through that narrow hut.”
A gentle voice sounded. The Head Hall Master stepped away from the throne and appeared in front of Shen Ping and the others.
Only then did Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the others see Lian Xuejin’s appearance clearly. She was wearing a simple palace dress. Although her face could not be considered beautiful, she looked gentle like a spring breeze, making people unable to help but look up to her.
Shen Ping bowed and shouted, “Master.” He, who was already at the late-stage of the Mahayana Realm, could naturally tell that Lian Xuejin’s appearance was a divine power that came with a cultivation technique.
Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the others hurriedly bowed. “Greetings, Head Hall Master.”
Lian Xuejin waved his sleeve lightly. “There’s no need to be so polite. You must have a lot of things to do when you come back this time. I won’t disturb you anymore. Go.”
They left the main hall. Stepping on the clouds that churned, the group encountered Hall Master Yueling of the Moon Spirit Main Hall before they arrived at the central area of the island. He was wearing a moon-white robe and seemed to have seen Shen Ping and the others. He revealed a surprised expression.
Speaking of which, all the Hall Masters, including the main hall, did not know that Shen Ping and the others had left the Nine Continents Tower. They also did not know that the five continents and four seas were worlds nurtured by supreme treasures. Therefore, Hall Master Yueling only thought that the Head Hall Master had arranged for Shen Ping to cultivate in a special place. After all, Shen Ping was a true disciple of the True Treasure Pavilion. It was only right for her to take care of him.
“Greetings, Hall Master Yueling.” Pei Huoyu and the other women hurriedly bowed.
Shen Ping bowed slightly and smiled. “Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yueling.”
Hall Master Yueling couldn’t help but frown slightly. He thought to himself, Even if you’re the true disciple of the Head Hall Master, you shouldn’t call me that, right? However, when he looked at Shen Ping seriously, he was stunned to find that he couldn’t see through his cultivation level. Especially the aura that the other party casually emitted, it actually made him feel like he was facing the Head Hall Master.. “Co-Core Disciple Shen’s cultivation…”
