Chapter 468: Soaring (2)

Fairy Luo Xia was stunned for a moment before she started to laugh. “Fellow Daoist Shen is even greedier than I imagined. Not only do you want my man, you also want… the heart of mine.’1 As she spoke, she drank another gla.s.s of wine.

However, the drunkenness under her eyes disappeared. She sat up straight again and said, “Although relying on Fellow Daoist Shen’s master can intimidate others for a moment, it’s very difficult to last long. Although no one in Sword Seal City dares to probe easily, the Penglai Immortal City is different. The Devil Clan there is even more powerful. That old goat was only stunned by the immortal array for a moment. When he reacts, he will definitely covet it.”

Seeing that Fairy Luo Xia was talking about serious matters, Shen Ping also put away the smile on his face, but he did not say anything. Instead, he was thinking.

Fairy Luo Xia continued, “After the Myriad Spirit Ranking, the Devil Clan rose extremely quickly. Although the Spirit Clan did not fight, they fought everywhere. More than 70% of the restaurants, music shops, and other shops in Sword Seal City were controlled by the Spirit Clan. The rest were gradually seized by the Flame Clan, the Winged Clan, and other powerful clans. The s.p.a.ce for our human resources to be squeezed became smaller and smaller. The True Treasure Pavilion is expanding day by day. Sooner or later, it will form a compet.i.tion for benefits.”

Shen Ping knew that what Fairy Luo Xia said was the truth. It was not only Sword Seal City, but also Gray Stone City in the past. The various markets and gathering places gradually became like this. He could keep a low profile. But no matter how low-key he was, the lower realm experts of the Immortal Dao upper echelons of the various races would not let him off either. As long as he reached the Western District, he would have nowhere to hide.

It was precisely because of this that he decided to quickly develop the True Treasure Pavilion after careful consideration and discussion with his master. At the very least, he had to open the market in the Penglai Immortal City. Only then could he grasp the specific movements of the experts from the lower realms of the various races and make preparations in advance.

“It doesn’t matter. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. Fellow Daoist Yue, your focus next is still on the development of the trade path and the True Treasure Pavilion in Penglai Immortal City. Tell me if you have any needs.” Shen Ping said with a smile.

After this battle with the Black Tiger King, he estimated that all his methods combined were comparable to an early-stage Mahayana Realm expert. In terms of escaping and self-protection, even a late-stage Mahayana Realm expert could not do anything to him. Therefore, he did not take the matter of the Devil Clan or other clans coveting his treasure to heart. Moreover, with the Golden Pattern Treasure Hall and the strange beast talent, he had enough means to deal with any danger.

Fairy Luo Xia did not expect Shen Ping to be so confident. However, when she thought of the dazzling attack method that was like the sun previously, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief. The corners of her lips curled up and she said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Shen, I have a need now!”

Shen Ping was stunned. Sensing the touch on his feet, he sat up straight and said, “Fellow Daoist Yue, do you know that you’re playing with fire?” “Hehehe…” Fairy Luo Xia covered her mouth and laughed before her figure quickly vanished. “I just want to invite Fellow Daoist Shen to stay on Luo Xia Peak for a few more days.”

In the mountain range east of Sword Seal City.

Qjming Peak.

The many spiritual peaks around this place were originally the territory of the human sects. Later on, they were occupied by the Devil Clan’s White Jade Spirit Fox. Over time, they became a breeding ground.

In the Spirit Fox Sacred Cave, two Body Integration cultivators and many Void Refinement Realm White Jade Spirit Foxes gathered.

“The Black Tiger King is dead.”

“It’s said that he was killed by a Mahayana Realm expert of the human race.”

“Is the news true or false?”

“The Black Tiger King has the strength of the late-stage Body Integration realm. How can he easily die?”

Many spirit foxes could not believe it. Although the White Jade Spirit Fox race had two Body Integration experts, their strength and cultivation were only at the early stages and their combat strength were not strong. The Devil Clan mainly relied on the Black Tiger King and the other late-stage Body Integration Fire Scorpion King in Sword Seal City.

However, they did not expect the powerful Black Tiger King to be killed on Luo Xia Peak.

“Luo Xia Peak is still enveloped by an immortal formation. Moreover, the person who spread the news is Layman Goat from Penglai Immortal City. It can’t be fake!”

“To be able to kill the Black Tiger King, this Mahayana Realm expert is probably not an ordinary human Mahayana Realm expert. Our race has to deal with this matter carefully and can’t stand out.”

The Spirit Race, the Flame Race, the Winged Race, and other races were all discussing.

It was rare for the Supreme Elders of the human Cloud Sword Sect, Ancient Moon Sect, and other sects to come out of seclusion. They all gathered at Luo Xia Peak. After hearing the news, they were shocked and expressed their intention to befriend Shen Ping’s master. However, they were rejected by Shen Ping with the excuse that his master was in seclusion. These Supreme Elders did not care about this. After all, they could kill the Black Tiger King before Layman Goat could provide support. Such an expert was not weak among the Mahayana Realm experts of the Penglai Immortal City.

Two months later, in the pavilion of the City Lord’s Mansion in Gray Stone City, An Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Congratulations, Pavilion Master. Now, there are more than a hundred Divine Transformation cultivators who want to become guest elders of our True Treasure Pavilion. There are even five Void Refinement Realm cultivators. One of them is Elder Qu of the Cloud Sword Sect.”

In the past, when he recruited Void Refinement Realm experts, he could not recruit any of them. Now that the news of the Black Tiger King’s death had spread, the True Treasure Pavilion became lively. There was an endless stream of human and other cultivators who applied to become guest elders.

Shen Ping revealed a trace of surprise. Elder Qu was a late-stage Void Refinement Realm cultivator. His status in the Cloud Sword Sect was not low. Although it did not prevent him from becoming a guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion, he must have the shadow of his supreme elder behind his application this time. He most likely wanted to use this opportunity to build a relations.h.i.+p with his master.

“Divine Transformation cultivators have to be carefully screened. As for the Void Refinement Realm, give them the position of guest elders and let them follow Fairy Luo Xia in Sword Seal City.”

“Yes.” An Zhiyuan continued, “Senior Yue has successfully established a branch in the Penglai Immortal City. The trade route is currently open, but the distance between the Penglai Immortal City and the Sword Seal City is long. There are many demon cultivators disturbing us, so it will take some effort.” Shen Ping nodded and asked some questions before letting An Zhiyuan leave.

At this moment, his master’s voice sounded from the resplendent crystal. There was a hint of joy in the gentleness, “Disciple, Immortal Venerable Qi of our human race has successfully sensed the power of the strange beast with the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit and absorbed and refined it into the Strange Beast Gate. The ranking of the Myriad Spirit Ranking has soared to the top 1,000!”

Shen Ping’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Top 1,000, Master, is this true?”

“Of course it’s true! It won’t be long before this news spreads. Only in the 1,000th place on the Myriad Spirit Ranking will there be races scattered. In a hundred years, our human race will also produce geniuses one after another and won’t gradually decline. Although we can’t compare to the Spirit Race, Devil Clan, Flame Race, and other races ranked at the top, as long as there’s hope, our human race will rise again sooner or later!”

Lian Xuejin said excitedly, “This matter is also extremely beneficial to you. Currently, Immortal Venerable Qi has entered the Strange Beast Gate and attracted the attention of the various races. The higher-ups of the Immortal Dao of the various races will definitely target Immortal Venerable Qi. The pressure on you will decrease rapidly.”

The reason why the Devil Clan, the Demon Clan, the Spirit Clan, and the other clans wanted to eliminate Shen Ping was mainly to close the door to the resurgence of the human race. Now that an Immortal Venerable had entered the Strange Beast Gate, it directly caused the ranking of the human race to soar. Its importance was self-evident. Therefore, even if Shen Ping had the means to hide the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit, he was far inferior to Immortal Venerable Qi.

“There’s another happy thing.” Lian Xuejin smiled and said, “Our human Venerable Sovereign has already sent a Golden Immortal expert and brought two Golden Immortal puppets to Tianxian City. They will head to the Western District and guard the Star Coast to disrupt and prevent the experts of the various lower realms from entering the Western District.

“Currently, the various races have basically investigated the eastern, southern, and northern regions of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. Therefore, the western region is the most important. With this Golden Immortal senior around, he can at least buy you a hundred years!

“In a hundred years, I will definitely be able to obtain a trace of authority in the Nine Continents Tower. At that time, you will be truly safe!”

Shen Ping immediately became excited. There were too many things he could do in a hundred years. What he was most worried about was that the experts of the lower realms of the various races would enter the Western District, forcing him to hide in the Black Mist Direlands in advance.

“Disciple, although the Golden Immortals are disrupting and blocking, you can’t be careless. They can block an Immortal expert, but sometimes, those below the Immortal realm can’t be watched. Therefore, you have to pay attention to the True Treasure Pavilion. Only then can you ensure that nothing goes wrong.”

“Yes, Master.. I understand!”
