Chapter 403: Top-level Secret Method

The night view of the City Lord's Mansion under the cover of the Immortal Formation is as beautiful as a painting. The bright moon that was transformed by the immortal spirit is hanging high in the sky, and the moonlight that falls down illuminates the master bedroom in the backyard.

now.

In this spacious bedroom.

On the mattress made of velvet spit out by the six-winged fairy silkworm, bursts of mist rose. In the mist, lines formed by figures were outlined together, like the interwoven Thousand-armed Guanyin forming a beautiful art painting.

The painting not only shows fertile grasslands with cattle and sheep blown by the wind, but also dancing butterflies crossing gurgling streams, with the airflow from their wings leaving a trail of horse hoof prints on the grassland. In addition, in the mountains not far from the grassland, a pale tiger is roaring at the canyon below...

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Maybe it will be a few days, or maybe half a month.

Not until he felt a little tired did Shen Ping put away his admiring gaze, walked to the window, and gently pushed it open with his hand. Immediately, the fresh air swept out all the rich smells accumulated in the bedroom.

Stretched.

He looked at the sparkling lake in the distance, and his heart gradually calmed down. It had been a long time since they had interacted with each other, and although they were somewhat unfamiliar with each other, after a hearty exchange of Taoism and fighting, his mind that was comprehending the stone bridge diagram was finally truly relieved and relaxed.

This moment.

His mind was empty, without any distractions, he just quietly looked at the lake view in the distance.

After the wives, concubines and companions recovered, they did not disturb their husband, but quietly left the bedroom one by one. Although Shen Ping had never mentioned the Gate of Strange Beasts and some things about the myriad races in front of them, they knew that their husbands were under a lot of pressure in their hearts. Although the Zhenbao Pavilion is now very prestigious in the western area of ​​the Dark Abyss, even surpassing the Taihua Sect to become the largest force, these are just superficial and castles in the air. Once the various races on the other side of the star sea break through the human defense line, Graystone City will be the first to bear the brunt.

I stood by the window for two days.

Those chaotic thoughts once again occupied the sea of ​​consciousness.

Shen Ping could only covet some peace and quiet, he knew that he could not relax, so he came to the pavilion by the lake, and saw his wife, concubines and Taoist partners sitting there chatting. He smiled and sat down beside Bai Yuying, holding her waist, and while enjoying eating the fairy fruit handed to him by Bai Yuying, he drew out some of his mind to browse and master the Taoist patterns and characters. With his current level of cultivation and spirit, he could easily do two things at the same time.

"Husband, how do these fairy fruits taste?"

Yu Yan asked.

These immortal fruits were bestowed by the celestial immortal senior who resides in Graystone City. Naturally, their taste is incomparable to the spiritual fruits from the Dark Abyss and the five continents and four seas.

"good."

Shen Ping savored it and said, "But it's still not as sweet as your fruit."

Bai Yuying couldn't help but joke, "My husband, after all this time, still likes our fruit and doesn't even feel sick of it."

Mu Jin, who was peeling fruit nearby, smiled and said, "Yes, I heard from my children that many Taoist couples rarely get close to each other after living together for a thousand years, and they have no interest in such things, let alone fruits."

Yin Honglian, Qiu Ying, Luo Qing and other girls also nodded.

In fact, they were very curious in their hearts. After so many years of practice, they had seen many Taoist companions, especially in the Dark Abyss. Among the Taoist friends they made, there were Taoist companions. But when they talked about some internal matters, they realized that many Taoist companions were rarely as close as they were.

Shen Ping laughed in silence, "This kind of thing is the ultimate happiness in the world. It is the instinct of cultivators like us to pursue the great way. How can we get tired of it?"

As he spoke, he looked at each of his Taoist companions and said seriously, "Even if ten thousand years pass, I will never get tired of any of you."

"My husband is so nice."

Bai Yuying was deeply moved and went straight into Shen Ping's arms, not looking like a cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm at all. The other women, Yu Yan, Wang Yun, Pei Huoyu, Yu Qingling and others, also had affection in their eyes. The reason they could always maintain their feelings for Shen Ping, apart from their constant exchanges of Taoism, was this unintentional flow of true feelings.

Fairy Luo Xia Yue Lingluo curled the corners of her mouth. She was experienced and although she didn't think what Shen Ping said was true, she was touched in her heart.

Then they chatted with each other in private for a while.

The topic turned to the children.

Shen Ping treated his children normally, and would only ask a few questions when he remembered. After all, most of the time he was either in seclusion, in the Gate of Strange Beasts, or having sex with his wives and concubines. He rarely had time to take care of the family.

However, he still cares very much about his children's cultivation.

Wang Yun and Yu Yan are responsible for the allocation of resources for the younger generations of the family, and cultivation is related to resources, so they are very familiar with the progress of their children's cultivation.

"My dear, there are now 35 descendants in our family who have reached the late Nascent Soul stage, 6 who have broken through to the Spiritualization stage, and the rest are mostly at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. The younger generations who are building their foundation and practicing Qi are all under 20 years old..."

Such a family background would be considered a behemoth in the Wei Kingdom, which once existed across the world, but in the western area of ​​the Dark Abyss, it is nothing. The family established by a combined cultivator alone is far superior to the Shen family.

certainly.

Shen Ping's main requirement is strict. Every junior must lay a solid foundation during the period of Qi training and foundation building. No junior is allowed to advance recklessly in cultivation. Moreover, they must basically learn one or two skills. This causes the growth of the juniors to be slower than that of other families. However, with the Zhenbao Pavilion, the Shen family has no shortage of resources and has never worried about the juniors being unable to break through to the foundation building stage due to lifespan issues.

"Where's An'er?"

He asked.

Wang Yun replied: "An'er is already in the middle stage of the Spiritualization, but it is difficult for him to make progress in the Beast Sutra. So far, he has only reached the level of animal skins and hooves in the Formation Sutra."

Listen to this.

Shen Ping shook his head, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. His eldest son, Shen An, had the blood of a rare beast. He had originally placed high hopes on him, believing that he could also become a beast spirit master. However, after so many years, even the development of the Beast Sutra was so slow. It was obvious that his talent in the Beast Sutra was not as good as those skilled geniuses at the headquarters of the Zhenbao Building in the Five Continents and Four Seas.

"Forget it. It seems that An'er's talent is very average. Yun'er, go back and tell him that if he doesn't want to learn the Beast Sutra, he can just focus on the formation."

Wang Yun nodded.

Shen Ping carefully questioned the rest of the younger generations, focusing on skills. Among more than a hundred younger generations, only two or three were gifted in skills and had made considerable progress, while the rest had average talent. This made him sigh that the chances of a family producing a true genius in skills or cultivation were still too low.

Although it was related to the small number of his juniors, this fact still made him realize that he was nothing special.

…

Star Sea Defense Line.

In front of the human race’s huge formation puppet barrier.

Hundreds of Golden Immortals from various races gathered together.

The leading Spiritual Beast Spiritual Genius Spiritual Watcher looked at the dozens of floating human Golden Immortals and said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Li, if you humans want to keep Shen Ping from Graystone City alive, you must hand over the Great Dao Secret Technique. Otherwise, when our tribes break through the defense line, Shen Ping will die!"

Li Jinxian laughed, "You spirit race only know how to brag? This formation puppet defense line has stood in the star sea for nearly a thousand years and has not been breached yet!"

"snort."

The Golden Immortal of Lingguan did not say any more nonsense, but gave an order, and hundreds of Golden Immortals attacked the formation puppets with all their might. At the same time, the genius beast spirits of the four tribes took out the powerful fairy treasures bestowed by the higher-ups one after another, and waited for the formation puppets to be consumed before breaking through them in one fell swoop.

Although Li Jinxian spoke with disdain, his heart was still very solemn. He knew that all the tribes must be prepared this time, so he sent a message to the other Jinxians, "If the formation puppet barrier is broken, you must rush to Graystone City as soon as possible. Even if we die, we must not let Shen Ping get into trouble."

"clear!"

The other Golden Immortals nodded heavily.

They naturally knew how important Shen Ping was. It could be said that all of their Golden Immortals combined were not as good as him alone. And if anyone was afraid of death in such matters, his future path of cultivation would basically be over.

After all, cultivation mainly depends on resources, and the higher-ups control the resources for promotion. Unless you don't want to be promoted, you can only work hard.

The top leaders of the immortal world are paying close attention to this place.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The powerful attacks shattered the space of the star sea into pieces, and the formation puppet barrier was shaking continuously. If a Sanxian was here with this kind of power, the aftermath alone would be enough to shatter the Sanxian. In the past, the Golden Immortals of various races had attacked the formation many times, but not as desperately as this time.

Obviously, under the watchful eyes of the beast spirit geniuses of each race, the other golden immortals of other races did not dare to be perfunctory.

However, Li Jinxian was relieved. "With this level of attack, they can't hold out for half a year at most. Even if there are any changes during this period, the formation puppets plus the trump card left to me by the Immortal Venerable can support a hundred years... A hundred years should allow Shen Ping to prepare for evacuation."

In fact, this is the final plan of the human race. Once the formation puppet is broken, more than fifty golden immortals will take Shen Ping to break out by force, and then rush to the cultivation world dominated by humans. There, the high-level immortals have already built a more solid defense line, and can also provide continuous support.

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

The environment in the Dark Abyss is too harsh, and the hastily built defense line is not solid.

At the same time, the Golden Immortal is greatly constrained and suppressed, and many of his methods cannot be used. More importantly, he cannot support the arrival of the projection of a powerful immortal who is above the Golden Immortal level.

…

Shen Ping was unaware of the changes in the Star Sea defense line. After resting for half a month, he went into seclusion again. He first went into the Gate of Strange Beasts and spent some time with Yin Ting, and then began to concentrate on mastering the Dao pattern characters.

After Yue Lingluo received the news from the immortal, although he was anxious, he did not disturb Shen Ping. After notifying Yu Yan and the others, he quickly contacted Lian Xuejin.

"No need to rush."

"At the critical moment, you can take shelter in the Jiuzhou Tower temporarily. No matter how many Golden Immortals there are, it will be extremely difficult for them to break through the Jiuzhou Tower."

Lian Xuejin was not nervous. In fact, after gaining control of a bit of the authority of the Jiuzhou Tower, she was no longer too worried about Shen Ping's safety. Besides, the Emperor accepted Shen Ping as a registered disciple and must have given him some life-saving items, so nothing would happen to Shen Ping.

After Wang Yunyuyan learned this, she felt much more relaxed.

A few months later.

In a quiet room.

Shen Ping slowly opened his eyes. After such a long period of familiarity, he finally mastered the Dao pattern characters. He suppressed his inner excitement, immersed his consciousness in the sea of ​​​​knowledge, and looked at the top-level jade book of the Dao.

The flashing Taoist patterns on it finally no longer seemed unfamiliar.

The True Book of Daoyuan

Squint.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "The origin of the Dao, the origin of the Dao, could it be that this jade book is about studying the origin of the Dao?"

Consciousness opens the jade book.

What came into view was the general outline: What is the source of the Tao, the origin of the Tao... The three thousand great ways of heaven and earth all originate from the origin of the world. If you master the source of the Tao, you can master any of the great ways of heaven and earth...

The contents of the general outline sound very domineering, as if it means completely mastering the three thousand great ways of heaven and earth. However, Shen Ping knows that it is not easy to achieve this.

Flip through the outline.

The first page of the jade book is a series of pictures. These pictures are similar to the stone bridge picture, but there are annotations next to the pictures. All six pictures are of water, from rain to streams to rivers, and then to rivers, lakes, and oceans.

After looking at the picture, I read the annotations. It said that the origin of the Great Dao is infinite and endless. If you want to comprehend even a little bit of it, you have to start from the most basic analysis of its essence...

The annotations are very detailed and straightforward.

It is obvious that the great being who created this jade book has completely comprehended the essence of the great Dao, and has mastered it to the point where he can explain it in the most straightforward and simple language.

However, even though it was straightforward, it was still very difficult for Shen Ping to understand. Fortunately, he had the basic knowledge of the stone bridge diagram, so he could barely understand some of it.

And this look.

He was completely immersed in it, and when his consciousness broke free from this state, thirty years had passed in the outside world. You should know that when he was looking at the jade book, his consciousness entered the world bead, so all in all, his initial comprehension took tens of thousands of years.

"It's true that one doesn't realize the passage of time when practicing!"

I felt a little emotional.

There was excitement in his eyes. After only viewing and comprehending it for the first time, even though he had not yet comprehended one tenth of the first picture, he had already gained some understanding of the essence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. If he were to activate the fluctuations of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth again, he would be able to cover himself without any flaws.

In addition.

The textures of the great Dao of Heaven and Earth revealed by the beast scales that he had comprehended before were no longer difficult at this moment. What was more crucial was that those textures were too simple in the analysis of the essence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, just like the difference between the most basic addition and subtraction and complex equations.

The only pity is that this "Daoyuan Zhence" seems to be a top-level secret method for comprehension, and it does not involve the use of combat.

However, Shen Ping was not disappointed. Among the other great secrets he obtained, there were combat secrets on how to activate the great way of heaven and earth.

"As long as I understand the first picture, the scale armor level of the beast scripture will not be difficult for me!"

I stood up and did some simple exercises.

He immediately devoted himself again to studying and comprehending the top-level secret techniques.

Time passes by little by little.

In the blink of an eye, another hundred years have passed quietly.

at this time.

At the Star Sea defense line, the human race’s formation puppet barrier was crumbling, and cracks appeared on the surface of dozens of Golden Immortal puppets.

"Send a message to Graystone City and tell Shen Ping and the others to be ready to evacuate at any time!"
