Boom.
The swordfish also sensed Shen Ping and rushed out of the sea to fight with him. After all, this was its territory.
Shen Ping, who was in the second level of the Star Palace Realm, killed the swordfish with a few lightning sabers that contained the power of heaven and earth. After refining them into blood beads, he sat cross-legged on the surface of the sea and circulated the Lifeline Star Palace Technique to cultivate and absorb them.
Just like that, he searched for the Demon God Sect’s territory while killing sea demons to cultivate. In just two months, he killed five Star Palace Realm Demon Venerables in a row. Among them, there were two Level Three Star Palace Realm Demon Venerables. His water-element bloodline rapidly increased to the fourth level of the Star Palace Realm.
The lightning and wood attributes had only reached the third level of the Star Palace.
The advancement of the Star Palace Realm was very slow. If one relied on absorbing star power and bloodline energy every day, even a genius would need to spend five to six hundred years to advance by one level. Therefore, the Stargold Stone was the most important resource.
However, Shen Ping had relied on his devouring talent to increase his cultivation by two levels in such a short period of time. If the old monsters hiding in the continent and the sea knew about this, their jaws would probably drop.
Even so, he felt that it was too slow. Therefore, he decided to ignore the Demon God Sect for now and search for the Star Palace Realm Demon Venerable in the vast sea. Although there were many demon experts in the sea, the sea was too vast. Shen Ping flew continuously for half a month before arriving at the next sea area that contained abundant resources.
Through investigation, there were actually more than ten Star Palace Realm cultivators here. They were branched out in the resource-rich area. Two of them had extremely powerful auras. He estimated that they were at least at the fifth or sixth level of the Star Palace.
“Haha, the stronger the better!”
Shen Ping relied on his many tricks and his good concealment skills. Coupled with the fact that he had three bloodline abilities, he began to provoke these powerful sea demons frequently.
The Demon Venerable was already extremely proud and thought that the ocean was the center of the world. The demons and humans on those continents were simply barbarians. Therefore, they were extremely irritable at Shen Ping’s provocation.
In the end, they all became pure Blood Beads after devouring and refining them.
Late at night, vast amounts of star power gathered crazily. Shen Ping absorbed the pure energy required by the Star Palace Realm, and the aura of his body kept rising. Most sea demons were of the water attribute, but there were also many other attributes in the Star Palace Realm. On the other hand, the lightning attribute was very rare. Up until now, he had already accumulated four fire and earth attribute Star Palace-level blood beads.
A month later, he killed all the Star Palace realm Demon Venerables in this sea area. He successfully expanded his water and wood attribute palaces to six, reaching the sixth level of the Star Palace Realm. However, he only had four lightning attribute palaces.
“It’s been half a year since I came out. I’m afraid Nishang is very worried. Let’s get rid of the Demon God Sect first. I’ll think of ways to improve after I’ve digested my gains.”
The sea region was indeed very suitable for him to quickly increase his strength. However, if he went any further, he estimated that his enemies would be at the seventh level of the Star Palace Realm or even higher. That level would almost stand at the top of this world. Their use of the power of heaven and earth was not weaker than his little bit of the Great Dao of heaven and earth.
Hence, Shen Ping did not plan to continue. After his water and wood attributes reached the sixth level of the Star Palace Realm, his speed became even faster. It only took him half a day to return to the direction where he was tracking the Demon God Sect. Although the remnant soul aura was very weak now, he saw an island a day later.
There was a huge lizard statue on the island. It was obviously the Demon God Sect’s lair. He concealed his aura and sneaked in. Shen Ping frowned. There were only three Star Palace experts on this island. If they only had this bit of strength, what right did the Demon God Sect have to be so arrogant?
He immediately appeared and rushed to the Star Palace expert who had descended upon Jizhou City through his divine soul. When he saw Shen Ping, disbelief appeared in the eyes of this Demon God Sect’s elder. He never expected that Shen Ping would actually be able to find their sect’s lair.
Pfft.
Without giving him a chance to speak nonsense, Shen Ping quickly refined him into a Blood Bead. With his current strength, those below the fourth level of the Star Palace basically didn’t even have the ability to resist.
Boom!
Lightning bloodline power surged around his body, covering the entire island. Those weak Star rank experts were directly turned into dust. The remaining two Star Palace cultivators were shocked. They wanted to escape, but they were trapped by the wood element.
“Senior, please spare me! Senior, please spare me!”
“We’re members of the Demon God Sect. Please spare our lives for the sake of the Demon God!”
Shen Ping narrowed his eyes. “In that case, this isn’t the main altar of the Demon God Sect?”
The third level Star Palace cultivator in the lead hurriedly said, “Senior, we belong to one of the branches of the Demon God Sect. If you kill us, you will definitely wake up the ancient demon god sleeping in the abyss at the bottom of the sea…”
Before he could finish speaking, his body exploded and turned into pure blood beads. The last second level Star Palace cultivator was so frightened that his face turned pale.
“Now, you can tell me everything about the Demon God Sect. If I’m satisfied, you’ll live.”
The Star Palace cultivator poured out all the information.
It turned out that there were a total of 12 branches in the Demon God Sect, representing the 12 Demon Sovereigns who had followed the Demon God in the ancient times. Their bloodlines were powerful. As long as they believed in the Demon Sovereigns, they could borrow their strength and quickly improve. Even if these Demon Sovereigns had long died in the river of time, their bloodlines had been passed down and new Demon Sovereigns emerged, sleeping in the abyss at the bottom of the sea.
As long as there were statues on the island, those sea demons would not dare to attack.
“Where are the headquarters of the other sects?”
“Senior, these are the core secrets of every sect. I only know that there are six in the sea. Ours is at the outermost edge of the sea, and the rest are in the depths. The rest should be on the continent. I don’t know the exact location.
“However, the current chaos in the Great Xia Dynasty was caused by the infiltration of the twelve branches. It won’t be long before they appear one by one. It’s said that a grand event that happens once every ten thousand years is about to arrive. Even the Demon Sovereigns, who are sleeping in the abyss at the bottom of the sea, will wake up one after another.”
A moment later, Shen Ping gave him a chance to live. He used the power of his true spirit to leave a mark on his body. “Continue to stay here and develop the strength of the sect while secretly investigating the headquarters of the other sects.Investigate the information of the inner region of the sea and the core as well.”
He threw a blood bead to the other party. “This is the essence of a sea demon expert at the third level of the Star Palace. After you absorb it, your strength will soar.”
“Yes, Senior.”
This second level Star Palace expert surnamed Yan heaved a heavy sigh of relief in his heart. He had finally survived.
After consuming the Blood Bead, his eyes widened. The pure energy contained in it was even richer than the Stargold Stone. In just half a month, he, who was already a step away, immediately broke through to the third level of the Star Palace Realm. This saved him hundreds of years of time.
“Thank you, Senior. I will definitely do my best to gather all kinds of information.” After tasting the sweetness, Elder Yan said respectfully. This was faster than worshiping an ancient demon god. “This is the token of the headquarters. With this token, you can mobilize all the power of the sect in the Xia Dynasty.”
Although the Lizard Sect was relatively weak, they were still one of the twelve branches of the Demon God Sect. They had developed quite a lot of forces in secret. The members of these sects were scattered in almost every province in the Great Xia Dynasty, so they had a lot of information.
“What’s a once-in-io,ooo-years event?” Shen Ping asked again. He did not find such records in the Demon Suppression Division’s library.
Elder Yan didn’t know either. He only knew that before the grand event, the sea and continent would give birth to some special resources. After devouring these resources, the strength of the bloodline would rapidly increase.
The various sects infiltrated the Great Xia Dynasty mainly to find such resources.
Shen Ping did not continue asking. He gave a few instructions and left the island. Half a month later, he returned to Jizhou City.
He had gained a lot from this trip. Not only did he raise his strength from the second level of the Star Palace to the sixth level of the Star Palace, but he also obtained many ancient secrets. He could be considered to have a better understanding of this world.
“Brother Shen, where have you been all this time? I was so worried!” When she saw Shen Ping, Lian Nishang was overjoyed and threw herself into his arms.
Shen Ping smiled. “Aren’t I back now? Tell me quickly. Did you miss me?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Did your upper mouth miss me, oryour lower mouth?”
Lian Nishang lowered her head and blushed. “B-Both.”
Shen Ping carried Lian Nishang and strode into the bedroom.
