Chapter 650: Divergent Thoughts (1)

Every region of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness was separated by a gorgeous and vast nebula. In these nebula regions, spatial turbulence would appear from time to time. Therefore, even experts at the Tribulation Transcendence and Itinerant Immortal realm had to take a special large flying ship to cross the nebula. As the nebula was extremely wide, it was called the sea of stars by many cultivators.
The Penglai Immortal City in the Western District was located at the edge of the sea of stars and was not far away. If a Mahayana Realm expert rushed and flew, it would take more than a month. However, Shen Ping only needed one or two teleportations to arrive at the end of the sea of stars, the Flying Cloud Crossing.
Originally, there would often be several large flying ships docked here. As long as the number of cultivators reached a certain level, the flying ships would set off to cross. However, this place had already been completely taken over by the immortal Dao experts of the human race.
For nearly a thousand years, almost no cultivator could approach.
As soon as Shen Ping appeared, a hidden immortal formation sensed him. In the blink of an eye, a True Immortal appeared. When he saw the appearance of the cultivator, this True Immortal was first stunned, then he probed in surprise, “Are you Fellow Daoist Shen from the True Treasure Pavilion?”
All the True Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and Golden Immortals in the sea of stars knew Shen Ping’s appearance, form, and aura. However, because there was still Fellow Daoist Xu, other than the Golden Immortal level, the other True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals did not know who the strongest beast spirit prodigy of the human race was.
“I am Shen Ping.” As he cupped his hands, the unique beast energy on his body emitted.
The True Immortal in front of him immediately became respectful. “Greetings, Fellow Daoist Shen.”
A moment later, Shen Ping entered the range of the Immortal Array and quickly arrived at the Immortal Array Puppet barrier in the center of the sea of stars.
He saw the person-in-charge of the human race, Golden Immortal Li, who had been guarding the defense line for a long time. The other party was wearing purple-gold immortal treasure armor. The armor was engraved with a pattern similar to a Qilin. Although he deliberately restrained his aura, he still emitted a faint heavy pressure.
“Shen Ping, why are you at the defense line?” Golden Immortal Li had a calm expression and a slightly thin face. At this moment, he was rather surprised, and his tone was filled with confusion. One had to know that the defense line in the starry sea could be broken through by the foreign races at any time. At that time, they would have to face hundreds of Golden Immortals from the Devil Clan and the Spirit Race. It was undoubtedly dangerous for them to come over at this time.
“Senior Li, although there is an Immortal Venerable in my residence, it’s not a place to guard for long. Therefore, I feel that instead of waiting for death, it’s better to take the initiative to attack.” Shen Ping said respectfully.
When Golden Immortal Li heard that, his first reaction was that he was fooling around. Taking the initiative to attack? Wasn’t this a joke? There were more than 300 Golden Immortals in the foreign races. There were only 50 of them. Even if they had puppets, there were only nearly 70 Golden Immortals. Their defense was slightly insufficient, let alone taking the initiative.
However, the other party was the strongest prodigy of the human race after all. He was highly valued by the higher-ups of the human race. He had heard that even the Venerable Sovereign praised him. Therefore, not to mention a Golden Immortal like him, even an Immortal King had to be polite towards him.
Therefore, he patiently explained the difference between friend and foe to Shen Ping in detail. Then, he said earnestly, “Shen Ping, the battle between immortals is not child’s play. Although your combat strength is strong and you almost killed a second-stage Ancient Demon in the Canglan Continent, the defense line in the sea of stars is different. If the foreign races discover you, they will definitely chase after you with all their might. At that time, the other Golden Immortals and I might not be able to protect you safely.”
How could Shen Ping not know this? Therefore, he briefly explained his plan. There was no choice. If he wanted to successfully kill the Golden Immortal of the foreign races, he really could not bypass this Golden Immortal Li. After all, the other party’s goal here was to protect him. He would definitely not let him do it alone.
When he heard that, Golden Immortal Li frowned slightly. He looked at Shen Ping and could not help but ask, “Shen Ping, are you really confident?” Without waiting for Shen Ping to answer, he continued, “You have to understand that once anything happens to you, not to mention that we Golden Immortals will suffer punishment, just the losses of the human race will be huge!”
Shen Ping said firmly, “Senior Li, no matter what the consequences are, I want to give it a try. Moreover, I have a life-saving item given to me by the Venerable Sovereign.”
As soon as he said this, Golden Immortal Li’s expression changed. He knew that Shen Ping was highly valued. He did not expect that the Venerable Sovereign would give him a life-saving item. However, on careful thought, it made sense. Shen Ping was the strongest Beast Spirit prodigy of the human race, and such prodigies from the other races were all at the core of the race and were heavily protected. “In that case, we’ll follow your plan, Shen Ping. But let me make it clear first. If it doesn’t succeed, you have to listen to my instructions next.”
Seeing Golden Immortal Li relent, Shen Ping smiled and said, “I understand!”
The next day, he appeared at the Immortal Array Puppet barrier of the Starry Sea Defense Line. Looking at the constantly shaking array formation barrier, he shouted, “Bastards of the foreign races, if you want my life, feel free to break through the array. I’m not afraid to tell you that the armor I’m wearing is a Great Dao treasure obtained from the Realm Sea Peak palace. Such a treasure is even helpful to Venerable Sovereigns!”
The expressions of the Beast Spirit prodigies from the various races changed slightly as they stared fixedly at Shen Ping. They had not expected this human Beast Spirit prodigy to actually come here and even provoke him so brazenly. Such actions were simply stupid.
“What is this guy trying to do?”
Many Golden Immortals of the foreign races were confused. They did not have to do this even if they were courting death..
