“The mine, and the Demon Mountain,” Shen Ping muttered.
Fairy Xuanshui reminded him, “Fellow Daoist Shen, I know that you have a lot of opportunities. You are a prodigy in the human race and have treasures with you. Don’t underestimate these two areas, especially the Demon Mountain. Earth beasts usually appear there and are very dangerous. If not for the Longevity Stone and some opportunities, basically no one would go to the Demon Mountain. It’s true that this may be a good hiding place, but it’s also a place of death.”
She could not help but say. She was mainly worried that Shen Ping would really take things too hard and go to the Demon Mountain to hide. The environment there was extremely harsh, and the survival rate was very low.
Shen Ping glanced at Fairy Xuanshui and said with a faint smile, “Don’t worry, Fairy Ji. Unless I’m in a desperate situation, I won’t consider these two places.”
Although he said that, he made a mental note. Since Fairy Xuanshui was so afraid, it undoubtedly meant that Immortal Venerables did not dare to easily go to the Demon Mountain. As the saying went, the most dangerous place was often the safest place. He had the talent of a strange beast, a Great Dao treasure, and treasures like the Nine Continents Tower. His life-saving methods were too strong. If there was really no place to go, the Demon Mountain would be a place to go.
Next, the three of them stayed in the forest to cultivate. The alliance army of the four races had lost their Beast Spirits and were like headless flies. They could not find Shen Ping’s exact location at all. Instead, because of the conflicts between them, there were frequent conflicts. Even Immortal Venerable Ling Fan Demon Venerable Gui Shu could not stand it anymore.
After waiting for about half a year, the Four-Race Alliance finally sent new Beast Spirits. Meanwhile, the human reinforcements had also entered the Immortal Extinction Forbidden Land.
After Shen Ping received the news, he immediately contacted these reinforcements.
“Greetings, seniors!”
Although there weren’t many human reinforcements, their quality far exceeded that of the four-race alliance. Even the weakest among them was a peerless immortal.
The leader was an eighth-stage peerless immortal expert under Immortal Venerable Nanji. He looked burly and elegant, clearly an immortal who cultivated corporeal body divine powers. In fact, after knowing the situation of the Immortal Extinction Forbidden Land, most of the reinforcements sent this time were experts in corporeal body divine powers, so they were delayed.
He Zhixian smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist Shen, you don’t have to be polite. You’re a personal disciple of a Venerable Sovereign and have a noble status. According to seniority, we should bow to you.”
They exchanged a few modest pleasantries then got down to business.
“Immortal Venerable has already explained the situation of the Immortal Extinction Forbidden Land to us. Since the alliance army of the four races can rope in the foreign races’ Immortal Venerable, our human race has to rope in more human Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings to resist the foreign races’ alliance army,” He Zhixian said.
Shen Ping couldn’t help but ask, “I wonder how you want to rope them in?”
“Before we came, Immortal Venerable personally instructed that if the Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings are willing to help us, we can give them the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit and let them become Beast Spirits. From there, they can enter the Strange Beast Gate and listen to Venerable Sovereign’s personal guidance. This way, their chances of becoming Venerable Sovereigns are higher.”
Shen Ping frowned. It was not that he had not thought of using the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit to rope them in, but the problem was that compared to the temptation of the Great Dao Treasure and top Great Dao secret techniques, it was clearly much smaller to become a Beast Spirit and enter the Strange Beast Gate.
The Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings who had entered the Immortal Extinction Forbidden Land and lived for so long were all ruthless. They did not have the concept of a race at all and could fall out at any time for benefits. Even Fairy Xuanshui beside him only gave them a certain amount of trust after controlling them.
Therefore, even if he gave them the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit, they might not be able to sincerely resist the attacks of the alien races.
Seeming to have seen through Shen Ping’s doubts, He Zhixian explained, “The Beast Pattern Golden Fruit is just a bonus. The ones who can really make these Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings willing to protect us are the Realm Sea Peak and the Dao Platform. Fellow Daoist Shen is the strongest Beast Spirit, so you should know the wonders of the Realm Sea Peak World and the Dao Platform.
“The Great Dao treasures and top Great Dao secret techniques on you are very tempting, but no matter how great they are, they still need to be snatched. Putting aside whether they can do it or not, even if they really snatch them, when they become Venerable Sovereigns and leave the Immortal Extinction Forbidden Land, they will be hunted down by the entire human race. I believe these Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings will figure out the benefits.
“Furthermore, even if they don’t do anything, it will still be a form of intimidation for the allied forces. At the very least, when dealing with Fellow Daoist Shen, they will have some fear and create a certain amount of time.”
Speaking of this, He Zhixian sent a voice transmission, “Fellow Daoist Shen, before we came, Immortal Venerable specially requested me to pass something to you. After seeing it, you will understand the purpose of this move.”
Shen Ping nodded slowly. Then, he brought He Zhixian into the Nine Continents Tower. The Nine Continents Tower was a Great Dao treasure. His master held a trace of authority. Here, no one could pry into the secrets. “Senior He, what did Immortal Venerable Nanji bring?” he asked curiously.
He Zhixian took out a strange-looking ancient coin. It looked like a copper coin, but upon closer inspection, it was not a copper coin. Instead, it was a small disc with a copper color. Suddenly, He Zhixian emitted an extremely powerful pressure. His voice was completely different from before. “Shen Ping, I’m Immortal Venerable Nanji.”
Shen Ping was stunned for a moment before hurriedly bowing. “Greetings, Immortal Venerable Nanji.”
A wisp of soul that Immortal Venerable Nanji resided in smiled, “Shen Ping, the thing I gave you is a world disc. This is an array disc that originated from the ancient era. It’s said to have been circulated from the Immortal Extinction Forbidden Land. It’s impossible to verify if it’s true, so I asked my subordinates to bring it in..”
