Although the matter of the blood pool was important, Shen Ping still accompanied Ling Qing, Nangong Yao, and the others. Among them, Ling Qing, who had a blood feud, gradually relaxed her heart during this period of time and tried various actions with Ling Yu’er, Ji Ruyue, and the others.
From Jinzhou, they continued south, following the border prefecture of the Great Xia Dynasty and circled around. After going through more than 20 prefectures and touring for nearly two years, they finally returned to Jizhou City.
“I’m back!”
He looked at the tall and thick city wall of Jizhou City. Ling Yu’er and Nangong Yao felt homesick. On the other hand, Lian Nishang still wanted to play. However, she knew that Shen Ping still had something to do and could not accompany her forever. Furthermore, cultivation was always the most important.
When they returned to their mansion, Shen Ping fooled around with them for more than half a month. During this period, Nangong Yao and the other women had not even gone out of the bedroom. They had not even worn their clothes.
Until they were exhausted and could no longer withstand the torture, they put away their distracting thoughts and recuperated for a few days before starting to cultivate.
Shen Ping came to the quiet room of the headquarters established by the Lizard Sect in the depths of Mount Ba. Before he went into seclusion, he looked at Chen Bin and Elder Yan and said, “Don’t slack off in the search of the blood pool. Once you find it, inform me immediately. This seclusion will take at least a few years or more than ten years. It won’t be long.”
“Yes, Sect Master.”
As the door to the quiet room closed, the pressure from a Star Platform Realm cultivator that enveloped the headquarters slowly disappeared.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed.
In Year 20 of Jian An, the chaos in the various states of the Great Xia Dynasty finally erupted. In almost half a year, more than 15 states rebelled. The Demon Suppression Division and the army stationed in the Great Xia Dynasty were beaten back by the rebels. Among them, two groups of rebels even occupied the territory of five to six states and became the overlord of a territory.
The area where Jizhou City was located happened to be sandwiched between two rebel forces. However, no one dared to rashly annex Jizhou. Instead, it became a buffer zone.
City Lord Manor.
Now, Nangong Yao was in charge of Jizhou. She was originally the guardian sent by the dynasty. After the Demon Suppression Division only existed in name, with the secret support of the Lizard Sect and various aristocratic families, Nangong Yao naturally took over Jizhou.
“Chen Bin, has my husband not come out of seclusion yet?” Nangong Yao asked.
Chen Bin shook his head. “The last time the Sect Master came out of seclusion was ten years ago. From the number of times he came out of seclusion before, I’m afraid it will take more than ten years.”
Nangong Yao frowned. “It’s been so long… Right now, Jizhou is in a precarious situation. It could be destroyed by the rebels from Jianzhou and Yunzhou at any time. These two groups of rebels had to resist the dynasty’s army, so Jizhou could delay. However, now that the dynasty’s army has been defeated, Jizhou will become their next target. If I still don’t make a decision…”
Chen Bin hurriedly said, “City Lord, don’t worry. With my Lizard Sect around, the other two rebel forces definitely won’t dare to act rashly. The Star Platform experts behind them are very afraid of the sect master’s strength. Unless they’re confident, they won’t take the risk easily.”
Nangong Yao sighed. “I’m just worried that the people of the county near Jizhou will suffer. The rebels won’t take action, but it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t use other methods to coerce them.”
Chen Bin smiled and said, “It’s nothing more than using some demons or evil spirits to bewitch and cause trouble. Our Lizard Sect is good at this, so we won’t let them have an opportunity. When the Sect Master comes out, we will definitely be able to resolve the current situation.”
Nangong Yao nodded and did not say anything else. She naturally trusted Shen Ping very much.
At this moment, Shen Ping was at the critical moment of breaking through. He had come out of seclusion three times in the past hundred years. After there were no clues of the blood pool, he went to the sea to find those Star Platform realm experts to spar. Relying on his strength that had increased to seven- element Star Platform, he killed five Star Platform realm sea demons in a row.
However, this caused his reputation to spread far and wide, causing many Star Platform experts to hide. If the Star Platform experts wanted to avoid the battle, he could not do anything to them. After all, at this level, it was very difficult to trap them if they wanted to escape.
Only those experts on the second level of the Star Platform who were close to the emperor-level were not afraid of sparring. After digesting and absorbing these Star Platform Blood Beads, his comprehension of the power of the world of wood and water had already reached a critical point.
Boom.
As the palaces formed by the bloodline nodes in his body collapsed, a large amount of star bloodline energy was purified and formed the Stargazing Platform under the urging of the power of heaven and earth.
The terrifying bloodline pressure spread in all directions with the quiet room as the center. The Star Realm guards and elders of the Star Palace Realm felt pressured. When they came back to their senses, they knelt in the direction of the quiet room.
“Congratulations, Sect Master, on your great improvement in cultivation!”
Half a month later, Shen Ping ended his seclusion. His wood and water attributes had successfully broken through to the second level of the Star Platform. He was only a step away from the true third level of the emperorlevel.
In this world, only at the emperor-level could one be considered a true expert standing at the peak. Apart from the legendary demon god, no one had ever crossed this level since ancient times. Even the peerless expert who had suppressed the era for ten thousand years was at the emperor level.
“The use of the power of heaven and earth on the second level of the Star Platform has already reached 60%. To be honest, this level of comprehension is only 10% after stepping through the threshold of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. If I challenge the Dao Platform of the Realm Sea Peak, I won’t even be able to pass the first level.”
The comprehension of the world in the green hall world was very different from the cultivation world in the reincarnation. It could be said that any Immortal King who descended could easily crush the peak experts of this world.
