Similarly, other than the Immortal King, Immortal Venerable, and Venerable Sovereign who had passed the first level, others stopped at the first level of Dao Platform. Now, the various races used the Dao Platform to differentiate between strength and potential.
Among them, Immortal Venerable Yao of the human race and Immortal Venerable Lu of the Devil Clan were the two Immortal Venerables with the highest chance of becoming Venerable Sovereigns.
Shen Ping, who was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room of the City Lord Manor, opened his eyes. There was a hint of helplessness in the depths of his pupils. Although he had improved a lot after comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth for 2,000 years, there was still a gap from the entry level. The further he went, the more difficult it was.
When he comprehended the second stream diagram on the first page of the True Book of Dao Origin, he felt that the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was not difficult. With all kinds of assistance, it was not a problem for him to comprehend the basics before ascending. Only when he was close to the threshold did he realize how difficult the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was.
“If I rely on my own comprehension without external help, I’m afraid I won’t be able to improve for tens of thousands of years!”
He knew that he had reached a bottleneck. Even the Venerable Sovereign had said that he could only resolve this bottleneck by himself. No matter how detailed the Venerable Sovereign’s explanation was, it was impossible to understand it without experiencing it personally.
“My willpower underwent another transformation a thousand years ago. Now, it’s already close to the Golden Immortal realm. It’s completely at its limit. More than forty Beast Blood’s Essence had been fused. I can clearly sense the fluctuations of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. Moreover, I can vaguely sense which Heaven and Earth Great Dao I’m suitable for. I’ve also reached my limit in other aspects.”
Shen Ping walked out of the quiet room. At this point, there was no point in continuing to cultivate bitterly. If he could comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth with the accumulation of time, the Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables would have long broken through to the Venerable Sovereign realm.
Boom!!
Just as he left the courtyard, the immortal spiritual energy under the immortal formation in the mansion became violent and quickly gathered towards a quiet room in one of the courtyards.
Many maids and guards were already used to this scene. In the City Lord Manor, not to mention the descendants of the Shen family, even their cultivation speed far exceeded that of the outside world. Almost all of them had reached the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation realm.
Such a scene could only be seen after breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm.
“It’s Shen Tiantai.”
“He’s actually going to break through to the Void Refinement Realm!”
“If I remember correctly, this 10th great-grandson of the Shen family has only cultivated for less than 500 years!”
“That’s right. To reach the Void Refinement Realm in such a short period of time, such cultivation speed is rare in the Shen family, or even in the entire Abyss of Supreme Darkness.”
“The Shen family is indeed a top cultivation family with the True Treasure Pavilion. Only such resources can provide such a cultivation speed.”
When they found out that the Shen family’s junior who had broken through was Shen Tiantai, the maids and guards were all surprised.
In the past two thousand years, not only had the True Treasure Pavilion become the top faction in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, but even the Shen family had become the number one cultivation family. However, this reputation was only based on prestige and not strength.
After all, the most outstanding descendant of the Shen family was only the eldest son, Shen An. However, the other party was only at the early-stage Body Integration realm. His combat strength was relatively ordinary and he relied on Dharma treasures.
Therefore, when most cultivators mentioned the Shen family, they basically referred to Shen Ping. His descendants were not worth mentioning.
However, five hundred years ago, an outstanding junior finally appeared in the Shen family. It was Shen Tiantai. His spiritual root aptitude was not good, but his talent in skills was simply outstanding. In less than a hundred years, he had raised his two skills in talisman formations to the third level.
After his mother found out, she used top-notch resources to improve his physique so that his cultivation speed could keep up with his skills.
Looking at the increasingly intense immortal spiritual energy, Shen Ping strode to the pavilion by the lake. Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the others were all there. Pei Huoyu, Yu Qingling, and Yingyue were still cultivating in seclusion in the World Pearl. After 2,000 years, there was a time flow of 35 times in the World Pearl. It was equivalent to them cultivating for 70,000 years. Despite their ordinary talent, Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the others had relied on resources to reach the late-stage Body Integration realm.
As for Pei Huoyu, Yu Qingling, and the others, they were even closer to the Mahayana Realm. Now, they had doubled their cultivation in seclusion to break through to the Mahayana Realm. Yue Lingluo and Ying Yue, who had higher cultivation levels, had officially become Mahayana Realm experts during this period of time.
It could be said that even if Shen Ping ascended, the Shen family could rely on the immortal artifacts and various treasures he left behind to stand tall with these two Mahayana Realm experts. It was just that it was more difficult for the True Treasure Pavilion to maintain the strength and reputation of the number one faction in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness.
In fact, the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, the Flame Race, the Demon Race, and other races were all looking forward to Shen Ping’s ascension so that they could regain control of most of the resources in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness.
It was a pity.
Shen Ping had never thought of ascending to the Immortal Dao territory so quickly. He had only cultivated for more than 4,000 years. Compared to those Tribulation Transcendence and Itinerant Immortals who had cultivated for tens of thousands or even 70,000 to 80,000 years, he was still very young. Furthermore, he had yet to comprehend the basics of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. It was impossible for him to ascend.
“Husband.” Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the others shouted. Even though they were Dao companions who had been together for thousands of years, their relationship was very close. Although they did not live day and night like before, they would relax for a few months every once in a while.
”Tiantai is really hardworking. Many of the younger generation of our Shen family rely on sufficient resources and power to cultivate. Even with their parents watching over them, it’s the same. They’re playful.”
“Indeed, it’s mainly because there are many juniors in the family now. Even if we restrain them, it’s difficult to see every single one.”
“If everyone could be like Tiantai, we would have a lot less to worry about.”
The wives, concubines, and dao companions chatted about their daily lives. Every word was related to the juniors in the clan. They didn’t care about the matters of the True Treasure Pavilion as Yue Lingluo, An Yue, Jing Yan, and Jing Huilan took care of it.
Shen Ping sat at the stone table and opened his mouth to eat the immortal fruit that Bai Yuying handed over. He smiled and said, “The children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. How they grow up and what level they reach will depend on themselves. Don’t talk about it in front of the other children every day.”
He did not expect Tiantai to become ‘someone else’s child’. However, such things were inevitable. Whether it was in his previous life or in the cultivation world, there would be all kinds of comparisons.
Yu Yan shook her head. “How can that do? If we don’t supervise them, they won’t improve if they can cultivate to the Divine Transformation and Void Refinement Realm. The Shen family will still have to rely on them in the future.”
“That’s right, husband. You can’t spoil them.”
Speaking of this, his wife, concubine, and Dao companions were united against outsiders. Even Shen Ping was no exception. Shen Ping was speechless. He could not be bothered to fight with his wives and Dao companions over such matters. After dozens of days, Shen Tiantai successfully broke through to the Void Refinement Realm.
“Greetings, Patriarch and Mistresses.”
Looking at the 10th generation great-grandson standing in front of him and bowing, Shen Ping felt rather emotional. Some of the juniors he had once thought highly of had long since established families and careers. Some of them had even made a name for themselves outside, but most of them were unknown.
This phenomenon was too common in the cultivation world, even in his previous life. Most people were mediocre, and only a small number of people were truly outstanding.
Shen Tiantai was considered very outstanding in the Shen family. He wondered how far this child could grow in the future. However, no matter what level he was at, he did not have the Beast Spirit Bloodline and did not have such a talent, so it was meaningless to force him to become a Beast Spirit.
“Tiantai, your cultivation progress is too fast. You have to polish yourself well at the Void Refinement level. Don’t be impatient.”
“Yes, Patriarch.”
Shen Ping gave a few words of encouragement before letting him leave.
At this moment, the dazzling crystal trembled. Lian Xuejin quickly said, “Disciple, quickly go to the Strange Beast Gate. Another palace has appeared in the Realm Sea Peak, and it seems to be different this time.”
Shen Ping was stunned. “It’s actually born so quickly?”
There were still more than 300 years before the Beast Spirit Ranking opened. He informed his wife and Dao companions before hurriedly entering the Strange Beast Gate.
On the second floor of the Heavenly Palace, a large number of Beast Spirit geniuses gathered. After two thousand years, the number of Beast Spirit geniuses increased. Just the second level of the Heavenly Palace alone exceeded five million. Of course, the true prodigies were much fewer.
“Ting’er.”
“Husband.”
After meeting Yin Ting, Shen Ping spent some time with her before immediately flying towards Realm Sea Peak..
