Chapter 264 Leaving
In the previous life.
During the period when doomsday prophecies were prevalent, Shen Ping once read a question like this: If tomorrow was the end of the world, what would you do? Would you go crazy, or do something you never dared to do, or would you continue to live your life as usual...
The last one had the most likes at that time.
In the eyes of many people, this kind of thing is just for fun.
However, Shen Ping never thought that he would really face such a problem one day. Faced with the calamity of strange beasts that could not be solved at all, the collapse of the five continents and four seas seemed to have become a permanent reality. Knowing the truth, he simply could not calmly repeat his previous boring life of practice. During this period of time, he fell into internal consumption of mental anxiety and did not want to do anything, let alone practice.
Bai Yuying's first reaction was to cherish every moment. He understood this truth very well. After all, there was no point in struggling, so he might as well accept his fate and enjoy it.
But when really facing it.
But he will find that the unwillingness and fear from the bottom of his heart make him still want to struggle.
So next.
Apart from taking time out every day to accompany his wives, concubines and fellow Taoists, Shen Ping spends the rest of his time practicing the techniques and imprints left by the great immortal.
He wanted to sense the door to the strange beasts and enter the mysterious land to see if there was any new hope.
However, even after five years of uninterrupted practice, I am still a long way from complete mastery.
Two months later.
The third wave of beast-derived impact is coming.
Although the number of giant creatures increased a lot compared to the last time, with the powerful foundation and strength of Zhenbao Tower, they were still easily dealt with.
However, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators who died in many sects in Zhongshengzhou increased.
This day.
The chief hall master sent a message.
Shen Ping adjusted his mind and came to Jingsi Residence through the purple jade ring.
It was still that small courtyard of a hundred feet in radius.
Just stepping onto the ground can quickly bring a sense of peace of mind.
"Master."
He bowed.
The chief hall master was rarely wearing her usual palace dress. She was dressed in a wide-sleeved silk skirt with colorful brocade ribbons fluttering on her shoulders. Her jet-black hair moved without wind, and her dignified and virtuous face now had a different expression.
"Disciple."
As the gentle voice sounded, this simple and quaint courtyard seemed to have some kind of vitality, "Are you willing to save your wife, concubine and Taoist partner?"
Shen Ping was startled, "Master, what do you mean..."
The chief hall master's eyes fell on Shen Ping: "If you want to solve the disaster of the beast, you must repair the barrier of the five continents and four seas and restore the balance of the spiritual energy formation. I have told you before that the reason why your uncle killed the top cultivators of Taiyan Sect, Yuelian Saint Sect, etc. was to strengthen the suppression of the formation."
"With the increasing number of derivative beasts, the spiritual veins of various states have been destroyed one after another. Although they are still under control at this stage, the entire spiritual energy balance will weaken over time, and the barrier will collapse again. Now it is difficult to continue to sacrifice top cultivators from all over the world to maintain the balance like your uncle did. So the only way now is to obtain spiritual veins from the outside world to restore the balance of the spiritual energy formation and buy time to repair the barrier."
Shen Ping understood what his master meant.
What is the outside world?
Naturally, it is the real place for cultivation outside the Jiuzhou Tower.
But he was not sure what his master's real intention was.
Think about it.
He bowed and replied: "Master, your cultivation strength is the highest in the Five Continents and Four Seas. If you go to the outside world..."
The chief hall master shook his head and interrupted: "If the master can get out easily, why should he sacrifice the lives of so many fellow Taoists in Zhongshengzhou?"
At this point, she sighed, "Jiuzhou Tower is not only a treasure for suppressing strange beasts, but also a cage for the five continents and four seas. Any cultivator who enters this tower cannot get out. Only the guardian of this tower can get out. Once you leave Jiuzhou Tower, it is very difficult to get back in."
"Disciple, you should understand what Master means. You have a beast pattern golden elixir in your body, and your future potential is endless. You must not perish in these five continents and four seas, so you are the most suitable person to go out and find spiritual veins."
Shen Ping was silent for a moment, then asked seriously: "Master, can obtaining spiritual veins to enhance the spiritual energy of the five continents and four seas really solve the disaster of the beast?"
"cannot!"
"The spiritual energy formation can only suppress the energy released by the strange beast, but it cannot repair the damaged barrier. No one in the entire world can repair it."
"So when you get to the outside world, in addition to searching for spiritual veins, you must also go to the place where the immortal way of our human race is prosperous and find the Venerable Ling Yan. As long as you find him, the disasters facing the five continents and four seas can be easily resolved."
The chief hall master said solemnly: "Disciple, remember, with the current rate of decay of the spiritual energy formation, the Five Continents and Four Seas barrier can only last for another thousand years. If you can continuously obtain spiritual veins, it will last longer, but no matter what, you must find Venerable Ling Yan as soon as possible."
He gave a few more instructions.
Shen Ping left Jingsiju.
He didn't say no or consider it because there was simply no other choice.
There is only a dead end if you stay in the five continents and four seas.
The only option is to go out.
Only he, his wife, concubines and companions can have a glimmer of hope.
Return to the Fire Temple.
He called all his wives and concubines to the palace hall.
Looking at Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Pei Huoyu, Bai Yuying, Luo Qing, Mu Jin, Qiu Ying, Yin Honglian and others, Shen Ping didn't know how to start.
As if they had noticed their husbands’ low mood, the wives and concubines remained silent.
Half a cup of tea had passed.
Shen Ping said in a deep voice: "Yun'er, Ying'er... Your husband is going to comprehend the Beast Sutra, so he may be away for a long time!"
He still didn't tell the truth.
He had no idea what the world and environment were like outside the Jiuzhou Tower. If his wives, concubines and fellow Taoist partners knew, they would surely be in long-term worry and it would be difficult for them to practice with peace of mind. Instead of that, it would be better to give them something to think about.
The heroic Pei Huoyu took the lead and said: "My husband, cultivation is the most important thing. No matter how long it takes, I can wait!"
Wang Yun's pretty face showed a smile, and she said softly: "Comprehending the Beast Scripture is a big deal, my husband just needs to practice with peace of mind, and don't worry about us."
"Yes, husband, if you practice well, Ying'er will also work hard. Hehe, when husband comes out, Ying'er might have achieved the Golden Elixir!"
The cute and fair Bai Yuying stuck out her tongue.
The aloof and cold Luo Qing said nothing, but her expression said it all.
Mu Jin smiled sweetly, "No matter what my husband does, I will support him."
Yin Honglian, who was wearing a fiery red palace dress, said straightforwardly: "My husband, cultivators should focus on cultivation. It is common for Jindan Yuanying cultivators to be in seclusion for hundreds of years. You don't have to mind it."
Qiu Ying's graceful and charming face was filled with a smile, "With my husband's talent, he will definitely be able to comprehend the beast classics!"
Listening to the comforting words from my wives and concubines.
Shen Ping felt even more guilty.
He moved his lips a few times, then said, "It will take some time for me to comprehend the Beast Sutra. I will accompany you well these days!"
Leaving Kyushu Tower is not an easy task.
There is a lot of preparation to do.
Moreover, he had to take away part of the Beast Scripture stele to facilitate his practice and comprehension in the outside world. In addition, he had to make some talisman beast diagrams and puppets in advance. After all, there were no special materials for making talisman beast diagrams and puppet beasts outside the Jiuzhou Tower.
So next.
While Shen Ping was spending time with his wives and concubines day and night, he was also preparing to go out. During this time, he told Yu Qingling and Saint Yue Lian that he was going to go into seclusion to comprehend the Beast Sutra.
In fact, he was planning to have a good communication with Saint Yuelian, but unfortunately plans could not keep up with changes, and some things were always out of control.
…
Half a year passed in a flash.
Fire Temple.
Master bedroom.
The spring scenery is beautiful.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
Even Pei Huoyu, who rarely did so, lay prone with Wang Yun and Yu Yan on this night, allowing them to be picked. Looking at the different scenery revealed by the curves, Shen Ping, who could clearly see every texture of the curves even with his eyes closed, could not help but let the blood of the strange beast in his body boil.
soon.
The lights flickered.
A night of dancing of fish and dragons.
The sky was getting light.
Shen Ping wore a long robe with wide patterns on the outside and a purple jade spiritual robe on the inside. He wore Yinchen spiritual rings on his fingertips, purple jade rings on his wrists, a light blue nine-bead Qianling jade belt around his waist, a fire phoenix jade pendant on his left side, and gilded gold-thread boots on his feet.
Each of these magical weapons is of top-grade level, and there are also ancient spiritual treasures.
They were all bestowed by the chief hall master and selected from the treasury.
If Shen Ping’s cultivation level wasn’t too low.
All of his magic weapons are at the level of ancient spiritual treasures.
And now these are all the most suitable for him.
In addition.
The Yinchen Spirit Ring still contains many powerful trump cards, which are enough to kill Nascent Soul and even Divine Transformation cultivators.
You can say that.
Shen Ping prepared everything that could be prepared, even his favorite meat rolls, he asked his wife to prepare more.
"Husband."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Husband!"
"Husband..."
Just stepped out of the door of the Fire Spirit Hall.
The sound of "husband" behind him made Shen Ping stop for a moment.
He didn't look back.
But there were already tears in his eyes.
This time.
I don’t know when I can come back.
century.
Thousands of years... or even longer.
Think of this.
Shen Ping felt a surge of pain in his heart.
He really wanted to turn around and hug them tightly, and smell their fragrance again, but he didn't dare to do so, because once he turned back, his firm heart would be shaken.
"Go back."
Waved his hand.
He tried his best to hold back his tears by gritting his teeth.
Then take a step.
…
Jingsi Residence.
The moment I saw Shen Ping appear.
The head hall master's dignified and virtuous face had a gentle smile, and she said in a calm voice: "Disciple, are you ready?"
Shen Ping nodded.
Boom! As the warm white light emerged.
The two of them suddenly came to the dark rocky land, and then layer after layer of space continued to collapse, and finally they stood in that narrow house.
And this is the top floor of Kyushu Tower.
The house is surrounded by a layer of special texture.
The chief hall master tapped his fingertips lightly.
The lines immediately began to shine.
At this time.
An ancient prismatic crystal floated in the palm of the chief hall master, and then pressed it towards Shen Ping's forehead.
The prismatic crystal actually merged directly into the skin.
"Disciple."
"This crystal is a part of the Jiuzhou Tower. With it, you can carry the Jiuzhou Tower with you. As long as you fill it with spiritual energy, you can contact me through the crystal and have a brief exchange."
Hearing this.
Shen Ping's face was filled with excitement, "Master, how do I fill up my spiritual energy?"
"The medicinal power of the fairy stone or fairy grass."
Shen Ping: “…”
The chief hall master sneered, "The place where the Jiuzhou Tower is located is the Great Dark Abyss. It is a famous chaotic area for all races. It is a place where good and bad people are mixed together, but it is also one of the places where various rare resources gather. Although fairy stones and fairy grass are rare, they are only for low-level cultivators. With your talent and beast pattern golden elixir, your cultivation speed will not be too slow. Sooner or later, you will be able to access such resources..."
Speaking of.
Her face suddenly became solemn. "Disciple, in the Great Dark Abyss, unless you encounter a strong enemy or are in a desperate situation, you must never use the Talisman Beast Diagram and the Puppet Beast. Your master has told you that strange beasts are the most mysterious and powerful creatures in the world. Anything related to them is a treasure that drives cultivators of all races crazy. In the five continents and four seas, there is the Nine Provinces Tower to isolate us, so our True Treasure Tower naturally does not have to worry about anything, but the outside world is different, you must keep it in mind!"
"When you practice and comprehend the various scriptures and stone tablet beast scriptures, you must be extra careful."
Shen Ping said solemnly: "Disciple understands!"
"As for other things that need attention, there are also information about the power and characteristics of each race, etc., which I have recorded in this jade slip. You must read it carefully. However, more than 100,000 years have passed, and I don't know what the situation in the outside world is like."
"So it's up to you to decide everything."
"Finally...practice is cruel. No matter what you do, you must remain vigilant."
The chief hall master sighed and said, "You are still young. If it is not necessary, I will not do this. But the young eagle must go through wind and rain before it can grow up."
Shen Ping felt his master's deep concern and worry.
He took a deep breath.
He bowed deeply.
Buzz! The surface texture of the walls around the room immediately shone, and the whole room seemed to be spinning.
Tsk tsk.
Just a few breaths.
A powerful repulsive force enveloped Shen Ping.
As the surroundings gradually become nothingness.
Shen Ping looked at the blurry figure and the outline of Wuzhou Sihai, and couldn't help but murmured: "Yun'er, Ying'er... Master, Wuzhou Sihai... Take care, I, Shen Ping, will definitely come back!"
boom!!
This moment.
The vast power directly shocked Shen Ping and made him dizzy.
All perception disappears.
The scene before my eyes became even darker.
In the endless darkness, a towering tower that seemed to be across the starry sky shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally merged into a dazzling prismatic crystal. Then the crystal wrapped Shen Ping's body, broke through the heavy black fog and space, and disappeared with a long dazzling flame tail.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The brilliant crystal finally left the black fog.
However, just as it rushed out of the edge of the black fog, waves of strange fluctuations continued to spread along the space at an unparalleled speed.
…
An endlessly remote place for cultivation.
The most core hall of the demon clan.
The behemoth lying on the huge throne suddenly opened its eyes, "Strange beast... It turned out to be the fluctuation of a strange beast. The locations of other strange beasts are all in the core of those powerful tribes, and they are isolated by special means and difficult to detect. Only the one that the human race stole from the boundary sea is missing. Although there has been no trace for so many years, this fluctuation is most likely from the human race!"
"We need to investigate carefully."
at the same time.
Other powerful tribes that possessed strange beasts all sensed the strange beasts' fluctuations and were shaken.
