Chapter 382: Training is too hard

The next day.

Greystone City.

A compartment room by the window on the third floor of Yunsheng Restaurant.

Shen Ping met the visiting True Immortal Senior, but he used the identity of his master, Fellow Daoist Xu. His face was changed by a magic weapon, and he looked much more handsome and elegant than before. This True Immortal Senior looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, without the slightest fluctuation of aura on his body, but he could feel the other party's deep and bottomless pressure.

He bowed first and said, "Junior greets Immortal Lord Laihe."

Immortal Laihe smiled, motioning Shen Ping to sit down. Then he looked at the bustling streets outside the window and said with emotion, "Compared to the fairyland, the scenery of this city is quite different. It's a rare opportunity to come to this mortal world to practice cultivation. It's also a fun thing."

Shen Ping hurriedly said, "If you are willing, you can stay here for a few more days."

Laihe Zhenxian smiled and said, "I have been staying in this city in recent years, but it seems that you don't know. The outside world has rumored that you are the protector of my human race's beast spirit genius and an immortal. After seeing you today, I know how ridiculous this is."

"You are able to kill the strongest immortals of all races with your Mahayana cultivation. Brother Xu is truly amazing."

Shen Ping did not deliberately hide his aura of cultivation. Of course, even if he tried to conceal it, he could not hide it from a true immortal. He said sincerely, "My Lord, to be honest, I am Shen Ping. As for that disciple, he is just a cover-up for the outside world."

Immortal Laihe was not too surprised. In fact, he guessed it the moment he saw Shen Ping. After all, this 'Fellow Daoist Xu' had previously displayed his tribulation-crossing ability in the lands of the spirit race, the demon race, and other races. There were not many methods that could significantly improve the realm of cultivation for a short period of time. Moreover, even if he had been promoted to the level of tribulation-crossing, it would be impossible for him to easily kill a ten-tribulation immortal. Therefore, he concluded in his heart that the person in front of him must be a beast spirit genius of the human race.

"The demon race, the spirit race, and other races have always been wary of our human race. As a beast spirit genius, and having shown potential on the beast spirit rankings, it is reasonable for you to have some defensive cover-up measures."

Immortal Lai He continued, "I invited you to meet this time mainly because Senior Li Jinxian from Xinghai wanted to confirm some things. There is no need to ask more questions now."

Li Jinxian wanted to know whether Shen Ping had any immortal-level protectors around him. If so, he would have to make other arrangements.

He took a sip of wine and said, "I am in Graystone City, mainly responsible for detecting the infiltration of the demons and immortals in the city. If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask it now. In the future, unless there is an order from Xinghai, we should not meet each other as often as possible."

Listen to this.

Shen Pinglian asked, "Senior Immortal, what is the situation over at Xinghai?"

Lai He Zhenxian seemed to have known that Shen Ping would ask this question, and said without hesitation: "It is relatively stable for the time being. Although the various tribes have sent down many Golden Immortals, there is a powerful immortal formation on the Xinghai defense line. In addition, our tribe's Golden Immortals are guarding it. Even if the various tribes charge frequently, it will take at least a thousand years to break through."

Shen Ping asked again, "What about the infiltration of the demons in the western area of ​​the Dark Abyss?"

"Three ancient demons and dozens of real demons sneaked in... They once wanted to infiltrate Graystone City, but after sensing my presence, they immediately fled. However, the demons have many methods, and open detection cannot guarantee completeness."

"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. It's not easy for the demons to descend from the Canglan Demon Realm and then infiltrate through the space cracks. Ordinary cultivators will be in danger if they pass through the space cracks, and the danger is even greater for the immortals. The stronger the cultivation, the easier it is to get lost in the space turbulence in the cracks, so the ancient demons are basically the limit of infiltration."

"And if there really is an ancient demon causing trouble in the city, it will only take a few breaths for the celestial elders secretly guarding nearby to arrive."

Immortal Laihe explained in great detail, which made Shen Ping feel much more at ease. Although he was no match for the ancient demon, it was impossible for the ancient demon to infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion. And with the power of the immortal formation of the City Lord's Mansion, there was no need to worry about the demon's attack.

Then Shen Ping asked some more questions, and Immortal Laihe answered them in detail. Before leaving, he also reminded Shen Ping to concentrate on his practice and not to worry about other things.

…

Canglan Demon Realm.

Hundreds of true demons and ancient demons turned the entire cultivation world upside down, but did not find Shen Ping. They immediately knew that Shen Ping might have escaped back to the Dark Abyss through the space cracks under their noses.

"hateful!"

"He killed the real demon Curry, but he didn't dare to show up. I thought he was so powerful!"

"This guy is really slippery. We were guarding the space crack but didn't find anything. Doesn't that mean he can come and go as he pleases?"

A group of real demons and ancient demons all had ugly faces, and the second-level ancient demon in the lead was even more gloomy. They had finally taken advantage of the opportunity when the beast spirit genius had a brain seizure and were ready to get rid of him in one fell swoop, but after searching for several months, they didn't even find a single figure. How could they explain to Xinghai?

"You continue to guard the space crack."

no way.

The leading second-level ancient demon still went back reluctantly.

He descended again to the Star Sea Defense Line area of ​​the Dark Abyss and reported everything that had happened in the Canglan Demon Realm.

"That guy not only has powerful escape techniques, but also has very sophisticated methods of concealing his aura. We can't detect him at all..."

The Golden Immortal in charge of the demon clan on the Xinghai defense line frowned, "A true demon died, but we can't even deal with him. If this gets out, where will the face of our demon clan be!"

The second-level ancient demon who was reporting immediately lowered his head.

"Remember, don't make this public."

"yes."

"Also, give orders to those True Demons and Ancient Demons that have infiltrated the Dark Abyss to stay safe and not to provoke the True Treasure Pavilion again. If that guy is tempted to enter the Canglan Demon Realm to wreak havoc again, our demon race will really not be able to hold our heads up in front of all the races. Keep an eye on the space cracks."

"yes!"

After the men left.

The Golden Immortal in charge of the demon clan shook his head. He knew that it would be difficult to get rid of this beast spirit genius of the human race. He had not been dealt with even when he ran to their lower realm of the demon world, let alone in the Dark Abyss. Moreover, he was able to kill real demons, and was obviously becoming more powerful. In a few hundred years, even if they broke through the defense line, it might be of no use by then.

"We demons cannot be so foolish as to serve as gunmen..."

…

In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed.

The war between the alliance of various races in the Dark Abyss and the various sects of the human race headed by the Zhenbao Pavilion became increasingly fierce, but the scale was much smaller. Later, it became a training place for the younger generations of various races to hone their Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. Even a special area was set aside for cultivators of various races to join in the fighting, while those who had reached the Refining Void and Fusion Stages no longer participated.

During this period.

Shen Ping rarely has some free time. Every day he either spends time with his wives, concubines and fellow Taoists, or teaches his children how to practice skills. Now, as his children have successively broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, the Shen family's bloodline has gradually branched out, and grandchildren and great-grandchildren have been born one by one.

Although he had predicted that the Shen family would grow larger and larger and become a powerful family force on the day they had bloodline, when the time came, he felt a little emotional instead. He never expected that he would one day become the patriarch of the family.

Pavilion by the lake.

His wife Wang Yun ate the spiritual fruit and said, "My husband, the situation in the western area of ​​the Dark Abyss has calmed down. My Zhenbao Pavilion's jurisdiction covers almost half of the western area. The sects near Graystone City are all planning to relocate."

"Fairy Jinglian of the Tianlian Sect is also planning to move the sect to the Snowy Mountains in a few years."

Shen Ping was stunned, "The Tianlian Sect is also going to move?"

Relocation of various sects is a trend. Before, the situation in the West was bad, and various races were purging human cultivators. Sects, family cultivators, and many independent immortals had to settle in core areas like Greystone City in order to seek stability. But now, with the Zhenbao Pavilion becoming stronger and stronger, other races basically dare not target the human race anymore, so so many sects seem crowded.

However, as the sect that has the closest relationship with the Zhenbao Pavilion, there is no need for the Tianlian Sect to relocate.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Wang Yun teased, "Why, my husband can't bear to part with Fairy Jinglian?"

Shen Ping rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I haven't provoked anyone else in all these years."

He was telling the truth.

Seven or eight hundred years have passed since I left the Five Continents and Four Seas. I now have two more Taoist companions, Fairy Luo Xia and Anyue, plus Yin Ting from the Feather Clan. Although I have made some friends with Fairy Jinglian and other female cultivators over the years, they are only Taoist friends.

After all, his main focus now is on practicing and comprehending the Beast Sutra to improve his strength.

Wang Yun smiled and stopped joking. Instead, she explained, "My husband, you have been in seclusion for many years, and you follow the lineage of beast spirits, so naturally you have neglected the world of cultivation. The Tianlian Sect is at least a fusion-level sect. If the sect wants to pass on its legacy, it needs a cultivation environment with a seventh-level spiritual vein. The best spiritual vein in Graystone City is only a lower-grade sixth-level. Previously, the situation was tense, and Fairy Jinglian had to temporarily live with the sect in Graystone City. Now that the situation is stable, they can't stay any longer, otherwise the younger generations in the sect will find it difficult to break through and advance."

After listening to this, Shen Ping suddenly understood.

Too.

He indeed neglected this point.

The cultivators are in urgent need of a temple for practice. The higher the level of the cultivator, the more spiritual veins they need. Only in this way can they continue to improve. Whether their wives, concubines and fellow cultivators are in the five continents or in the current Gray Stone City, the practice environment is very abundant, especially the City Lord's Mansion, which is shrouded by the fairy formation and has a steady supply of fairy stones, which is comparable to the fairy peaks in the fairyland, making practice twice as effective with half the effort.

Therefore, wives, concubines and Taoist partners have never gone to look for spiritual veins.

Including himself, what is needed is the energy of strange beasts and there is no requirement for ordinary spiritual veins.

"There are two large seventh-grade superior spirit veins in the Snow Region Mountains, which are still under the jurisdiction of my Zhenbao Pavilion. Fairy Jinglian finally chose to move there to nurture and cultivate the future sect's inheritance spirit veins."

Wang Yun poured Shen Ping a cup of spiritual tea and continued, "Only Penglai Immortal City has the ninth-level spiritual veins on the side of the Great Dark Abyss, so many large sects are concentrated in Penglai Immortal City. Only there is it suitable for powerful cultivators at the Mahayana Tribulation Crossing level to practice. Places like Jianyin City basically have seventh-level spiritual veins."

The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the Dark Abyss is relatively poor, but that is relative to the rich world of cultivation. Compared with the world of treasures like the Five Continents and Four Seas, it is much better. After all, this place can give birth to people who have transcended tribulations or even ten tribulations immortals.

"My husband, now that our children have their own Taoist partners and bloodlines, the Shen family is also growing stronger. Although it is still far behind other families, it will catch up in a thousand years. By then, this City Lord's Mansion will seem a little small. We need to plan this matter as soon as possible."

Hearing Wang Yun's words.

Shen Ping suggested: "We can find a spiritual vein near Luoxia Peak in Jianyin City as a place for the family to multiply."

The cultivation environment at Luoxia Peak is pretty good. Of course, it is slightly inferior to Guyue Sect and Yunjian Sect, but it is more than enough for the Shen family's bloodline to practice and reproduce.

Wang Yun shook her head. "Luoxia Peak is still a little small. My Zhenbao Pavilion has a vast jurisdiction, so we can still find some eighth-tier spiritual veins. Unfortunately, there are no ninth-tier spiritual veins."

Shen Ping said helplessly: "At present, our children are only at the Nascent Soul stage, not even at the Spiritualization stage. The seventh stage is enough. If they are good enough, we can let them come to the City Lord's Mansion to practice."

Wang Yun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my husband."

The two did not continue this topic, but talked about other things, such as a guest official who was about to be promoted to the fusion state and was going to hold a fusion ceremony, and what gift he should bring when the time comes. Another example is Shen Ping himself, who had already reached the Mahayana stage but had never held a ceremony.

There are many small things in daily practice.

Back when Shen Ping was still in Qingyang City, he attended banquets, held small gatherings, and even organized foundation-building banquets. But now that the Zhenbao Pavilion he had built has become increasingly powerful, he has no longer paid attention to such matters, and he has not even held a celebration for the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation breakthroughs of his wives, concubines, and fellow Taoist partners.

It does feel a bit indebted.

Shen Ping himself felt embarrassed. "Yun'er, wait a little longer. After all, my husband's path of cultivation is special. A grand ceremony is too ostentatious and will inevitably lead to other things. When I have passed the tribulation and have enough strength in this lower world, I will hold a grand ceremony."

Although his strength has changed qualitatively after becoming a beast spirit and he can kill real demons, the attention paid to him by the top leaders of various races is really a huge pressure. There are also powerful Golden Immortals from various races stationed in the star sea. If a grand ceremony is held, they are afraid that the various races will not pay enough attention to him.

Wang Yun's voice softened, "My dear husband, I am not looking for glory, but I feel that your practice is too hard. My sisters have also been practicing diligently and have missed a lot."

Shen Ping put his arm around his wife's slender waist and said gently, "You know I will accompany you well in these years."

The strongest geniuses from other races were all in seclusion to increase the strength of their spiritual consciousness, but he had already taken twenty beast blood essences and increased his beast skills to 70% beast blood. Such a sudden increase would indeed require enough time to settle, plus the sensing and digestion of the mysterious fluctuations, he estimated that he would need at least hundreds of years.

It is a good opportunity to take advantage of this period to accompany your wives, concubines and Taoist companions, relax your mind and make friends with fellow Taoists.
