Chapter 445: The Secret of the World
Although the matter of the blood pool is important, Shen Ping still accompanies Lian Nishang, Ling Qing, Nangong Yao and the others. Among them, Ling Qing, the girl with a deep blood feud, gradually lets go of her heart during this period and tries various actions with Ling Yuer and Ji Ruyue.
They continued traveling south from Jinzhou, following the border prefectures of the Great Xia Dynasty, making a big circle, passing through more than 20 states, and traveling for nearly two years before they returned to Jizhou City.
“I’m back!”
Looking at the tall and thick city walls of Jizhou City.
Ling Yuer and Nangong Yao both felt a bit homesick, but Lian Nishang still wanted to travel. However, she knew that Shen Ping still had things to do and couldn't stay with them forever, not to mention that cultivation was always the most important thing.
Return to the mansion.
Shen Pinghao was crazy with them for more than half a month. During this period, Lian Nishang, Nangong Yao and other girls did not even leave the bedroom, let alone wear clothes.
Until exhausted.
I can't stand it anymore.
After they put aside their distracting thoughts and recuperated for a few days, they began to practice.
Deep in Bashan Mountain.
The main altar established by the Lizard Cult.
Shen Ping came to the quiet room. Before he went into seclusion, he looked at Chen Bin and Elder Yan and said, "Don't relax the search for the blood pool. If you find anything, notify me immediately. This seclusion may last for a few years or more than ten years. It won't be too long."
"Yes, Master."
As the door of the quiet room closed.
The pressure from the Star Platform Realm that enveloped the main altar slowly disappeared.
…
Time flies, the years pass by like a shuttle.
A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
The 20th year of Jian'an.
The unrest in various states of the Great Xia Dynasty continued to accumulate and finally broke out completely. Within almost half a year, more than fifteen states rebelled. The Demon Suppression Bureau and the army stationed in the Great Xia Dynasty were beaten back step by the rebels. Two of the rebel groups even occupied the territories of five or six states and became overlords of their own regions.
The area where Jizhou City was located happened to be sandwiched between two rebel forces, but no one dared to act rashly to annex Jizhou, instead making it a buffer zone.
City Lord's Mansion.
The one who is in charge of Jizhou now is Nangong Yao. She was originally the garrison commander sent by the imperial dynasty. After the Demon Suppression Bureau became in name only, Nangong Yao took over Jizhou naturally with the secret support of the Lizard Cult and various families.
"Chen Bin, my husband hasn't come out yet?"
Nangong Yao asked.
Chen Bin shook his head. "The last time the leader came out of seclusion was ten years ago. Judging from the number of times he came out of seclusion before, I'm afraid it will take another ten years."
Nangong Yao frowned, "It's been so long... Right now Jizhou is in a precarious situation and could be destroyed by the rebels from Jianzhou and Yunzhou at any time. Previously, because these two rebels had to resist the imperial army, Jizhou was able to delay them. But now that the imperial army has been defeated, Jizhou will become their next target."
"If you don't make a decision..."
Chen Bin hurriedly said, "Don't worry, City Lord. With the Lizard Cult here, the other two rebel groups will never dare to act rashly. The Star Stage Realm experts standing behind them are very afraid of the Cult Master's strength, and will not take risks easily unless they are sure of their chances."
Nangong Yao sighed, "I'm just worried that the people in the counties near Jizhou will be questioned. The rebels won't take action, but there's no guarantee that they will use other means to force them."
Chen Bin smiled and said, "They are just using some monsters or evil spirits to cause chaos. My Lizard Cult is good at this, so we won't let them take advantage of it. When the Cult Leader comes out, he will be able to solve the current dilemma."
Nangong Yao nodded and said nothing more. She naturally trusted Shen Ping very much.
now.
Deep in Bashan Mountain.
In a quiet room.
Shen Ping was at the critical moment of breakthrough. He had come out of seclusion three times in the past hundred years. After finding no clues about the blood pool, he went to the sea to find those Star Platform Realm powerhouses to practice with. Relying on his Star Platform strength that had been upgraded to the seventh level, he killed five Star Platform Realm Emperor Realm sea monsters in succession.
However, this caused his reputation to spread far and wide, causing many Star Platform powerhouses to hide away. If the Star Platform powerhouses wanted to avoid fighting, even he would be helpless. After all, at this level, if they wanted to escape, it would be very difficult to trap them.
Only those strong men on the second level of the Star Platform who are close to the emperor level are not afraid of sparring.
After digesting and absorbing these Star Platform Blood Pearls, his comprehension of the power of heaven and earth of the wood and water elements has reached a critical point.
boom.
As the palaces formed by the blood nodes in the body collapsed, a large amount of star blood energy was refined and built into a Stargazing Tower under the impetus of the power of heaven and earth.
Almost instantly.
The terrifying blood pressure spread out in all directions with the quiet room as the center.
The Star Realm guards of the main altar and the Star Palace Realm elders all felt the oppression. After they came to their senses, they all knelt down in the direction of the quiet room.
"Congratulations to the leader for his great progress!"
Half a month later.
Shen Ping ended his retreat.
His wood and water elements successfully broke through to the second level of the Star Platform, and he was only one step away from becoming a true third-level emperor.
And in this world.
Only the emperor level can be considered as the real strong ones standing at the top.
Except for the legendary demon gods, no one has ever crossed this level throughout history. Even the peerless strong man who had suppressed the country for ten thousand years was at the emperor level.
"The second level of the Star Platform has reached 60% of the power of heaven and earth. However, to be honest, this level of comprehension is only 10% after stepping into the threshold of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. If you go to the Dao Platform of the Breakthrough Sea Peak, you won't even be able to pass the first level."
The gap between the comprehension of heaven and earth in the world of the giant blue palace and the world of cultivation before reincarnation is huge. It can be said that any immortal king who comes can easily crush the top powerhouses of this world.
Therefore, as long as the Immortal Kings, Immortal Lords and even Emperors of Beast Spirits are given time, they will definitely stand at the top soon.
Fortunately, Shen Ping has the talent of devouring strange beasts, otherwise even with the advantage of memory, he might not be able to reach the second level of the Star Palace so quickly.
“The fastest cultivating genius in the Imperial Capital is only at the third level of the Star Palace, which is still a long way from the Star Platform… Even if they are given the Blood Pool, it will take nearly a hundred years to improve. However, we still cannot be careless. We must improve other systems to the second level as soon as possible, and at the same time merge all the bloodlines to form the source blood!”
This hundred years.
In addition to improving himself, he spent more time studying how to gather all the bloodlines and forge source blood. However, it was too difficult to do so. Even though there was a method on the map shown in Gong Zang, it was still difficult.
If Shen Ping was not mistaken, the key might lie in the blood pool.
After all, fusing source blood requires enormous energy.
Only blood pools can provide this.
"Master!"
"Congratulations, Master."
After Chen Bin and Elder Yan received the news that Shen Ping had come out of seclusion, they quickly came to the main temple. Their strength had improved greatly over the past hundred years. Elder Yan, who was already at the Star Palace level, has now reached the fourth level, and Chen Bin has even broken through to the second level.
Shen Ping nodded and casually asked about what had happened in recent years.
Chen Bin immediately reported: "In recent years, there have been two new stars in the Imperial Capital and the sea area. In addition, in the Black Abyss that you asked to pay special attention to, three ancient strongmen have awakened, including the ancestor in the Imperial Capital, the other two are the Black Dragon Demon Emperor worshipped by the Black Dragon Cult, and one of the Sea Monster Ancestors. They are all for the blood pool."
At this point, he paused and said, "As for the blood pool, I am incompetent and still haven't found any clues."
There are many emperors sleeping in the Black Abyss, which are the accumulation of endless years. This is because this world is not like the world of immortals, where those with blood can enjoy a long lifespan. Even the emperor level only has a lifespan of ten thousand years. Therefore, anyone who has reached the emperor level or is close to the emperor level will go to sleep in the Black Abyss when his lifespan is about to come to an end.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This is because there is a special energy envelope in the Black Abyss that can greatly slow down the lifespan of the strong people on the Star Platform.
As for how many ancient powerful men are sleeping in the Black Abyss, no one knows until now. Some people even speculate that the powerful man who was once so brilliant and suppressed the world for ten thousand years is also sleeping in it.
"Pond of blood..."
Shen Ping frowned. Although he knew that such an extremely rare resource as the blood pool would definitely be difficult to find, and that he had only luck last time in Jinzhou, a hundred years had passed, with the Lizard Cult continuing to grow and develop, and there was still no clue at all. This made him doubt Chen Bin's ability.
Elder Yan noticed Shen Ping's expression and said hurriedly, "Master, I have found a clue."
Chen Bin had no expression on his face.
Shen Ping looked at Elder Yan and said, "Tell me."
"The leader once said that the blood pool can make ordinary monsters rise to the star position and star palace in a very short time. I specialize in collecting information about those monsters that rise quickly in a short period of time. If I only focus on this aspect, I am afraid that I will get nothing like Brother Chen. So in addition, I also sent people to the forbidden areas of the Great Xia Dynasty and the surrounding countries."
Elder Yan laughed as he spoke, "During this search, we actually found something. Several Star Palace-level monsters appeared in a misty mountain range in Qu Country. However, these monsters lurked deep inside and never left the mountain range."
After hearing this, Chen Bin felt secretly annoyed. Why didn't he think about this aspect? He only sent people to collect information but forgot about the forbidden area.
"That's right. Please arrange a trip to Qu Country in a few days. If there really is a blood pool, I will credit you with a great achievement."
Shen Ping said calmly.
Elder Yan said happily: "Thank you, Master."
Next, Chen Bin talked about the affairs of Jizhou City. In fact, in recent years he was mainly helping Nangong Yao deal with the affairs of protecting the safety of Jizhou. Naturally, he was a little worse in terms of the blood pool.
Shen Ping also guessed this, so he didn't blame him.
"In that case, I will go to Jianzhou and Yunzhou to see the strength of these two stars."
After saying.
He disappeared.
A few days later.
Under the ground of a lake in Jianzhou.
Shen Ping looked at the seriously injured Black Dragon in front of him and said, "You are overestimating yourself. Since you know that the Lizard Cult is behind Jizhou City, you still want to annex it. Your courage is really stronger than your strength."
The black dragon roared, "I am the elder of the Black Dragon Cult. Now that I am a demon emperor of the Black Dragon Cult, I will unify the world sooner or later. The Lizard Cult can be destroyed in a snap of a finger!"
Bang.
Soon the black dragon turned into a blood bead on the star platform.
Although the opponent is not at the second level of the Star Platform, his physical body is as strong as that of the second level of the Star Platform. He is even stronger than the previous leader of the Black Dragon Cult. Coupled with the attributes of the Demon Emperor of the Black Dragon Cult, this gives it enough courage.
After dealing with the black dragon, he immediately headed for Yunzhou. However, as soon as he arrived in Yunzhou City, the head of the rebel leader was taken off by the powerful person from Xingtai behind him.
"This fellow took advantage of my retreat to become ambitious and blamed me for not disciplining him properly. I hope Master Shen will calm down."
I have to say that the attitude is very sincere.
Unfortunately, Shen Ping didn't buy it.
Half an hour later.
This powerful man from the Star Platform turned into a blood bead. Half a month later, Jianzhou and Yunzhou all became the territories of Jizhou and were occupied by the Lizard Cult.
Just when Shen Ping was about to go to Qu State to check out the Misty Mountains, Chen Bin brought good news that a place suspected to be the birthplace of a blood pool was discovered in Jianzhou.
He immediately took Chen Bin and rushed over.
“It really is a pool of blood.”
This made Shen Ping both surprised and shocked, and he quickly asked about the details.
Chen Bin said, "It can be said that it was luck. When I took over the county with my men, I sent people to the nearby mountains to check for monsters. I was going to eliminate the hidden dangers of monsters after taking over the county, and then I found this blood pool."
"I specifically asked the nearby mountain people, and no one knew where the blood pool was. There was no blood pool here before."
Shen Ping narrowed his eyes after hearing this, "So, the blood pool was just created?"
"Yes, Master."
As soon as Yunzhou and Jianzhou were occupied, a blood pool was born.
He felt that there must be some connection between the two.
"Could it be that the blood pool is related to the world or the territory? But if there is a connection, then why didn't the royal ancestor of the Great Xia Dynasty suppress the rebellion after waking up..."
For a while.
Shen Ping was not sure either, so he could only order: "Chen Bin, you will help deal with the affairs of the three states first, mainly selecting young people to form our Jizhou army!"
Chen Bin was startled for a moment, then he understood, "Yes, Master."
