Chapter 393: True or False
"These bugs are so weak?"
Shen Ping was stunned at first, but then he became confident. He kept waving the wood in his hand, smashing the bugs to death one by one. After getting rid of all the bugs in the dilapidated house, the dead bugs immediately decomposed into a large number of light spots.
The light spots quickly gathered into a route map, and the range recorded on the map was very small.
See this scene.
He suddenly understood, wrote down the route map, and walked towards the next goal in the thick snow. It was snowing heavily along the way, and the thick snow made walking very difficult. However, this was nothing to Shen Ping. As long as his physical condition recovered, he would immediately perform teleportation. Even under suppression, he could easily teleport over a thousand meters.
However, considering that he might miss something if he used teleportation continuously, he kept each teleportation within a thousand-meter range. Since he had no magic power, he couldn't send messages to his master, the Antarctic Immortal and others.
It takes two cups of tea to walk.
The next destination on the roadmap has arrived.
This is also a house similar to a mountain temple. It is dilapidated, but the overall outline is still intact.
After getting closer.
Shen Ping discovered that there was a flickering fire inside.
"Could it be another beast spirit genius?"
He walked cautiously to the door of the house, and through the gap saw a beautiful figure sitting by the fire to keep warm. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Yin Ting.
"Ting'er, I didn't expect it to be you."
Hearing the voice, Yin Ting stood up and turned around. Seeing that it was Shen Ping, a look of joy appeared on her face. She called out "husband" and ran towards Shen Ping.
However, before Yin Ting came close, Shen Ping almost instinctively felt a trace of disgust in his heart, as if it was a natural reaction of a living being, and he subconsciously took a step back.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Yin Ting asked doubtfully.
Shen Ping stared at Yin Ting in front of him, and the Eye of the Sea Beast was activated. The energy aura displayed within his field of vision was exactly the same as the insect before, which made him horrified, "Who are you?!"
"I am my husband's Ting'er!"
Yin Ting said as she walked closer.
Listen to this.
Shen Ping immediately concluded that the person in front of him was not Ting'er, because if it was Yin Ting, she would not say such words given her personality. Coupled with the energy aura, he decisively raised the wood in his hand and suddenly burst it out, smashing it towards Yin Ting's head.
Bang! Yin Ting was flattened like a balloon, her clothes and skin shattered, and she shrank into a face-sized insect in an instant. The wings and shell of this insect were covered with dense golden and purple patterns, and Yin Ting's voice was still coming out of its mouth, "Husband, you are so cruel, I want to eat you!"
Buzz.
It flapped its wings and swooped down towards Shen Ping.
Bang.
Shen Ping dodged and hit again with all his strength.
The golden-purple worms split open and transformed into pure magic power that poured into Shen Ping's body. His dantian regained its vitality like a dead tree coming back to life, and his cultivation level rose to the golden elixir level.
call.
Feel enhancements in all aspects of your body.
He breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that it was a close call. If he hadn't felt disgusted, he might have been caught by now.
"What kind of creature is this? It can actually transform into the appearance of other creatures, and its shape, appearance, and voice are all so lifelike!"
His face was solemn. Although the sea beast's eyes could see its essential energy, the disgust was the key. After all, the insect transformed into Yin Ting. He was surprised and his vigilance was reduced a lot. "If Master and Yin Ting encounter the transformed me, it will be terrible!"
Think of this.
Shen Ping's heart sank. "Killing this kind of bug can restore my magic power. I have to restore all my magic power as soon as possible, and then go find Master and Yin Ting."
With magic power.
He first took out the Hunyuan Spear, and then sent messages to his master, Yin Ting, and the Antarctic Immortal, but unfortunately there was no response.
Tsk tsk.
At this time, a large number of insects came out of all the wood in the house again, but with the Hunyuan Gun, he easily solved these insects, and then headed to the next target point according to the route map where the light spots converged.
…
Inside another dilapidated house.
When Qi Xianzun saw that it was Yu Xianzun, he could not help but walk in. "Friend Yu, I didn't expect to meet you so soon. The suppression of the palace world this time was so strong that we all lost our magic power. Although we still have physical strength and are still stronger than other geniuses, without magic power and consciousness, many methods are difficult to use."
Yuxianzun said with emotion: "Yes, I think this is the balance of that senior weapon spirit. However, if you and I can meet, we can explore together and gain a considerable advantage."
As he said this, he walked towards Master Qixian.
Like Shen Ping, when Yuxianzun approached, Qixianzun felt a little disgusted, and the situation was similar for the rest. After getting rid of Yuxianzun who was disguised as a bug, Qixianzun's magic power recovered a little, and he was about the middle stage of Qi training.
"Such a strange camouflage ability, even I couldn't detect it at all. Is this the test of this world?"
As a good friend of Yuxianzun who has known Yuxianzun for countless years, Qixianzun is too familiar with Yuxianzun, but still cannot see any difference. This makes Qixianzun alert. After all, if he meets other people in the future, he will definitely remain suspicious, and this may be a test.
"I'm in the middle stage of Qi training. It's really a long-lost memory!"
…
A few days later.
Relying on the powerful talent of the Eye of Sea Beast, Shen Ping successively eliminated the golden-purple bugs in five houses, and his magic power was completely restored to the Mahayana level. Following the route map, he soon arrived at the eighth dilapidated house.
There were no golden-purple bugs in this house, but there was a purple door. After stepping through the door, he appeared in a city made entirely of stone. There were actually quite a few living creatures in this city. They were either humans, demons, spirits, etc., but without exception, none of them had any fluctuations in magical power.
As the eyes of the sea beast opened.
He discovered that these were actually real creatures, but among all the creatures in this stone city, there was one creature disguised as a golden-purple insect.
Shen Ping seemed to have realized something. This stone city might be a test of the distinguishing ability of the beast spirit geniuses. However, it was still quite difficult to find the golden purple bugs among so many creatures. After all, other beast spirit geniuses did not have the talent for strange beasts like himself.
After entering the city, he walked straight towards the golden-purple bug, which was disguised as an old human woman. She was squatting beside the street with a cane and there were fruits in front of her.
It was easy to get rid of the old woman, just one shot with the Hunyuan Spear would be enough, but Shen Ping did not act rashly. He had a hunch that this stone city was not that easy to take, and that senior spirit weapon master would not be so bored as to set up so many creatures just to distinguish the golden-purple bugs.
"Old lady, how much do you sell this fruit for?"
The old woman disguised as a golden purple insect quickly replied, "Probably five cents each."
"I don't have any money with me. My home is nearby. Can you come with me to get it? I can buy all your basket of fruits."
Shen Ping said.
When the old woman heard this, she nodded in agreement.
The two men came to an alley, and Shen Ping took advantage of the fact that no living creatures were paying attention and shot the golden-purple bug dead with a single shot.
laugh.
After the insect died, it split into three balls of light, and inside the balls of light was the essence of beast blood and a route map. He put away the essence of beast blood and paid attention to the creatures outside the alley. Seeing that they had no reaction, he immediately left the stone city and headed for the next city.
The second, the third... were all the same dilapidated wooden houses, until the eighth city, where a purple portal appeared.
Stand in front of the portal.
Shen Ping looked at the beast blood essence he had obtained and narrowed his eyes slightly. Whether it was the dilapidated wooden house or the stone city, he was very successful and there was no difficulty at all. Although he had the help of the eyes of the sea beast, even if he did not have this kind of rare beast talent, it would at most be a little difficult.
"Could it be that the tests for the top-ranked geniuses are of different difficulty?"
With this guess in mind, he stepped into the purple portal.
Shen Ping guessed right.
This time the palace was born in a multi-layered world. The difficulty of the first two layers was different. The beast spirit geniuses ranked in the top 100 basically had a smooth journey. Even if they were in the Stone City, it only took a little more time. The beast spirit geniuses ranked within ten thousand did not recover much mana from killing the golden-purple bugs. One layer could only restore them to the Golden Core level, and they could only recover to the Nascent Soul level after passing two layers.
And if you choose to kill the old woman directly in the stone city, all other creatures will turn into golden-purple bugs, and you need to kill them all to get the route map to the next stone city.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The difficulty is higher for beast spirit geniuses ranked outside the top ten thousand. In addition to the slow recovery of mana, they will also encounter various problems in the heavy snow environment of the first level. If they are lucky enough to reach the Stone City, they will not get the beast blood essence and the route map even if they kill the old woman, and they must pay money to buy fruit.
…
Under the towering ancient trees with emerald green.
The Emperor of the Spirit Clan frowned, "What is going on? Why did my Spirit Clan eliminate so many Beast Spirit Geniuses?!"
The Immortal Lords smiled bitterly and said, "Emperor, most of these beast spirit geniuses are outside the top 10,000. According to their reports, when they encounter a golden purple bug that can disguise itself as our spirit race, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. If you accidentally come into contact with its skin, you will be corroded and eliminated."
"Some were eliminated in a city after being besieged by a large number of golden-purple bugs... But at present, very few people ranked within the top ten thousand were eliminated. Also, not many beast spirit geniuses above the Golden Immortal level were eliminated."
The Spiritual Emperor was somewhat relieved. "Too good to be true that there are such strange insects. There are indeed some tribes among the myriad tribes that are good at camouflage. There are even one or two special tribes. It is said that even the breath of living creatures can be disguised. However, no matter how true the disguise is, there will be flaws. These beast spirit geniuses are really too careless!"
"The biggest advantage of our spirit race is numbers. If they are eliminated, this advantage will be reduced. It seems that the rules for the birth of this palace are indeed very strange."
Same as the Eldar.
The Demon Clan, the Yan Clan and other clans felt very troubled after discovering that many of their beast spirit geniuses had been eliminated. They had originally instructed the geniuses to use their numerical advantage to limit the human race, but this turned out to be the situation.
The only thing that made them feel relieved was that almost none of the Immortal Kings and Immortal Lords were eliminated.
…
Step into the portal.
Shen Ping appeared on a giant stone plate floating in the dark space. On the stone plate were a number of cushions shrouded in rosy light. He took a look at the number, which was exactly the number of beast spirit geniuses of the human race who had entered the palace this time.
There was nothing else on the stone plate except the futon.
He checked everywhere again and made sure there was nothing unusual, then he found a random place to sit down and wait for changes.
Time passes by little by little.
Ten days later.
A figure appeared on the stone plate.
"Senior Qi!"
"Shen Ping!"
The two were delighted at first, and then looked at each other warily.
Shen Ping even secretly checked through the Eyes of Sea Beasts and confirmed that the energy aura of this Senior Qi was different from that of the golden-purple bug, but he still did not get close to it.
Qi Xianzun was the same, "Shen Ping, have you ever encountered that golden purple bug that can camouflage?"
"Yes."
Qi Xianzun nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, distinguishing golden and purple bugs should be the key to the rules. You and I should keep a certain distance."
"Yes, senior."
Next came the Immortal Master Yu, the Immortal Master Nanji, Lin Yu, the Immortal Master Yao, the Immortal Master Bing and others. Everyone knew the camouflage ability of the golden purple bugs, so they all kept their distance in tacit understanding.
But Shen Ping knew that half of them were disguised as golden-purple insects.
“Master!”
As Lian Xuejin appeared.
He was relieved, especially after seeing that she was not in disguise, he showed joy in the corners of his eyes, and secretly sent a message to her, "Master, the Yao Immortal Venerable and Bing Immortal Venerable are all golden purple bugs in disguise, you have to be careful."
Lian Xuejin was shocked but remained calm on the surface.
However, what no one expected was that another Shen Ping appeared on the stone plate. He was exactly the same as Shen Ping in terms of expression and appearance.
Qi Xianzun narrowed his eyes and said, "If I am not guessing, the test of this stone plate should be to distinguish the true from the false. Maybe there will be people like you in the future."
Nanji Xianzun nodded, "I have traveled among all races, but I have never seen such a strange insect. The creatures it imitates are almost the same as real people. Before, in the dilapidated stone house and stone city, I would feel instinctive disgust when approaching it, but this stone plate did not react. I guess the stone plate is special and suppressed this disgust."
The others all nodded thoughtfully.
What the Immortal Master Nan Ji said did make sense, and as the Immortal Master Qi had guessed, the Immortal Master Qi, the Immortal Master Yu, the Immortal Master Yao and others appeared again.
However, several beast spirit geniuses who were eliminated, such as Yan Xueyi and Huichang, did not appear.
Tsk tsk.
With the arrival of the last Lian Xuejin, the glow of the futon disappeared.
"Don't move, everyone."
"If anyone moves, don't blame me for not considering the ties of our clan and taking action."
The Antarctic Immortal said in a cold voice.
Shen Ping's expression was calm. He had the eyes of a sea beast and could tell who was disguised as a golden purple bug. However, now there were people with the same problem as him, so even if he told them, they might not believe it. Moreover, if he acted rashly, others would definitely attack him, at least those disguised as golden purple bugs would attack him.
"Seniors, how do you tell the real from the fake?"
Lin Yu spoke first.
Immortal Qi pondered and said, "Our cultivation has only recovered to the Golden Core level, so some methods are difficult to use. Previously, we could rely on disgust in our hearts to make judgments, but now it is more troublesome."
Everyone else remained silent.
Shen Ping said slowly: "Seniors, how about you prove the truth first?"
