The others trembled slightly.
That’s right, if the royal family wanted to succeed the throne, they had to have a sixth or seventh level Star Palace behind them. Now that they had a star platform, the Ji Family had hope of competing.
Late at night, chrysanthemums fell all over the ground.
Ji Ruyue endured the tearing and stared fixedly at Shen Ping. She still could not believe that this brave and unyielding young man in front of her was actually a Star Platform Emperor.
Emperor Realm! He was a top expert who stood at the peak and could decide the throne of the royal family with a word.
Smack! He gently slapped it with his palm. Her skin vibrated with layers of waves. Only then did Ji Ruyue come back to her senses and could not help but ask, “B-Brother Shen, are you really an Emperor Realm expert?”
Shen Ping smiled and said, “Why? Don’t I look like one?”
He did not intend to hide his cultivation. After all, he had entered the Star Platform Realm and combined it with his True Spirit and other bloodline stars. His overall strength was comparable to those true emperor-level experts. Such experts were all sleeping in the Black Abyss, so there were very few people in this world who could compete with him.
“No, it’s… it’s…” Ji Ruyue couldn’t say anything. She was too shocked.
“That’s enough. No matter what my cultivation level is, I’m your lover. The Brother Shen who needs to feed you.”
Shen Ping pinched her thick skin. Only then did Ji Ruyue heave a sigh of relief. She returned to her previous active personality and ignored the pain behind her as she enjoyed each other’s delicacies with Shen Ping again.
After several times of sex, she asked, “Brother Shen, you should have some needs for helping me, right?”
Shen Ping nodded. “Your Ji Family’s Stargold Mine might have the Heaven’s Will Stone I need. This resource is born in the depths of the mine and is a supplementary resource for breaking through the star platform.”
With absolute strength, he wasn’t worried that the Ji Family would secretly hide Heaven’s Will Stone. It was useless to hide it, and the Ji Family had no use for it. Ji Ruyue was extremely intelligent, so she naturally thought of this. Therefore, she said without hesitation, “Big Brother Shen, my Ji Family’s Stargold Mine will be yours from now on.”
“Can you make the decision?” Shen Ping said with a faint smile.
Ji Ruyue didn’t say anything. Instead, she swung her slender waist and danced. In the next few days, the Ji family handed the control of the Stargold Stone Mine to Shen Ping. Shen Ping arranged for Chen Bin to take over and check the depths of the mine at the same time. Indeed, he found a Heaven’s Will Stone inside. Then, he went to the Jin family’s stargold mine and found another piece.
Shen Ping was in a joyful mood. Two Heaven’s Will Stones meant that he could raise the other two bloodlines to the Star Platform level.
“What are those top 30 prodigies doing in the Imperial Dynasty?” Before he prepared to enter seclusion to improve, Shen Ping asked
Ji Ruyue was a branch of the Ji Family after all, so she knew a little about this matter. “The Imperial Dynasty is using a secret technique to increase the strength of these prodigies. It’s estimated that they will be nurtured for several years. At that time, a Star Palace expert will appear among them. Only then can they suppress the rebellion of the various states. Does Brother Shen have any other beauties among the prodigies?”
“Yes.”
“That Nangong Yao?”
“That’s right.”
Ji Ruyue immediately knew better and did not say anything else. Instead, she took advantage of the few days before Shen Ping went into seclusion to cuddle with him every day.
Seven days later, Shen Ping officially went into seclusion. Last time, it had taken a very short time to enhance to the Star Platform Realm, but this time was different because he had basically exhausted his accumulation of True Spirit comprehension last time. Although he still had experience in this aspect, even with the Heaven’s Will Stone, he estimated that it would take at least half a year.
In a restaurant on both sides of the main street of Jizhou City, Lian Nishang brought Ji Ruyue here to eat delicious food. “Sister Ruyue, have you and Brother Shen already had skin contact?”
“Huh?” Ji Ruyue was stunned for a moment before she said frankly, “That’s right. Brother Shen is such an outstanding person. He’s really too attractive. I-I couldn’t control myself. Sister Nishang, you won’t blame me, right?”
Lian Nishang scoffed. “What’s the use of blaming you?” She sighed. “Actually, I know very well that I’m not the only woman in Brother Shen’s life. I can’t stop him. Moreover, it’s really difficult for me to bear it alone. It’s most suitable to have someone else accompany me.”
Ji Ruyue smiled. “That’s good. In the future, we can accompany Big Brother Shen together.”
“Sister Ruyue, how are you and Brother Shen so close?” Lian Nishang blinked. Ji Ruyue covered her mouth and smiled. She leaned close to her ear and told her all the details, including some things while she was sleeping. “Ah, no way. You guys are too bad. Hmph.”
“Sister Nishang, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t get angry? Moreover, Brother Shen likes it like this. I think next time, pretend that you don’t know… Like this and this.”
As she listened, Lian Nishang’s face turned red, but the more she listened, the more serious she became.
In the blink of an eye, three years passed.
During this period of time, the Great Xia Dynasty became more and more chaotic. Demons wreaked havoc everywhere frequently, and even the Demon Suppression Division could not hold on anymore. After six or seven provinces rebelled, the Imperial Dynasty finally took action. They sent 30 prodigies they nurtured to the provinces to suppress the rebellion.
These prodigies had at least reached the Star Realm, five of them even broke through to the Star Palace Realm. Under their lead, the demons quickly hid in the depths of the mountains again, and the aristocratic families behind them became much quieter.
After all, before the true strength of the Imperial Dynasty attacked, the aristocratic families couldn’t send experts to deal with these prodigies. Moreover, each prodigy represented a family. However, this was only on the surface. When the Demon God Sect and some forces that had been passed down from ancient times took action, the various states became chaotic again.
Old Ancestor Nangong frowned. “Yao’er, how many times have I told you? The position of the guardian is a hot potato. If you sit there, my Nangong family will become the target of public criticism.”
Nangong Yao pursed her lips. “I know, Great-grandfather, but the Xia Dynasty is troubled internally and externally. The various states are constantly rebelling. Only the guardian has the right to mobilize everything to maintain the chaos in Jizhou City. Even if it’s not for the Xia Dynasty, we have to do something for Jizhou City.
“Furthermore, if I resign, the refugees will be punished by the Imperial Dynasty. At that time, the Imperial Dynasty might use our Nangong Family as an example.”
Old Ancestor Nangong sighed helplessly. “You shouldn’t have participated in the Prodigy Tournament back then. Forget it, it’s my fault for always wanting you to make a name for yourself. If you married Nephew Shen as soon as possible, the pressure would be much lighter with him by your side.”
“After Brother Shen finishes his seclusion, I’ll marry him.”
Old Ancestor Nangong smiled. “It’s good that you can think things through. However, I heard that Nephew Shen got to know a branch of the Ji Family in Imperial City and has an unclear relationship with Ji Ruyue. There’s also another Star Rank woman. Your competitors are not useless. Try to be more proactive in the future.”
“Yao’er understands.”
A powerful pressure descended in the original Stargold Stone mine, in the depths of Mount Ba, and all the demons in Mount Ba prostrated on the ground. Shen Ping slowly opened his eyes in the depths of the mine. The aura on his body converged and disappeared at a visible speed.
“Lightning, wood, and water are all at the Star Platform Realm. Although they’re still at the first level of the Star Platform, the combined strength of the three bloodlines is comparable to the second level of the Star Platform without any other methods.
“There are still four elements left: metal, earth, wind, and fire. Once all seven elements reach the Star Platform, I believe I can fight with emperor-level experts on the third level!”
A smile appeared on his lips. Then, in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from where he was. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at Jizhou City. As his three elements reach the Star Platform, his understanding of the power of heaven and earth in this world becomes deeper. With just a little activation, he could teleport thousands of kilometers away.
“Chen Bin.”
Chen Bin, who was already close to the Star Palace realm, appeared respectfully in front of Shen Ping.
“Have you gained any Heaven’s Will Stone in the past three years?”
“Sect Master, Elder Yan has already obtained a piece. There’re some clues regarding another piece. It’s just that our strength is not enough for the time being.”
Shen Ping nodded slowly. Although there were only two pieces, he was not anxious at all. “Have those prodigies in the Imperial City left?”
“They’ve left. Miss Nangong is now the guardian of Jizhou City.” Chen Bin replied.
Shen Ping couldn’t help but look at the Nangong family. He easily sensed Nangong Yao’s aura and stepped in front of her.
“Brother Shen, you… you’ve ended your seclusion?” Nangong Yao was stunned for a moment before she said happily.
“That’s right.” Shen Ping looked at Nangong Yao. “Late Star Realm. Looks like the Imperial Dynasty’s secret cultivation method is indeed effective.”
“No matter how effective it is, it can’t compare to the Blood Bead given by Brother Shen. By the way, Brother Shen, what’s your current strength?”
“Star Platform.”
NangongYao: “…”
