Chapter 447 The Truth of the Black Abyss

A voice containing the power of heaven and earth spread out.

Only those strong in the Xingtai realm can hear it.

Taizu of the Great Xia Dynasty raised his eyes and frowned slightly. He did not expect that the strongest genius who had risen from Jizhou would take the initiative to come and challenge him. Even if he had reached the second level of the Star Platform, he should know the gap between the same levels.

"It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!"

Sigh.

He stood up slowly.

And at this time.

The other three Royal Star Platforms appeared, all with worry on their faces.

"Grandmaster, this man surnamed Shen has never been defeated since he reached the Star Platform, and every time he fights, it is a life-and-death battle. If you accept the challenge, what if..."

I was only halfway through my sentence.

He was interrupted by the Great Xia Dynasty's Taizu, "Why, do you think I will die?"

"snort."

"My ancestor has been sleeping in the Black Abyss for so many years, but I have made some progress. The three of you guard the Imperial Court while I go meet this most powerful genius."

But in the end, he still said, "If something happens to me, the royal family will retreat to the sea or submit to Jizhou."

"Yes, Taizu."

After a moment.

Over the vast waters of the East China Sea.

Two figures appeared.

It was Shen Ping and Ji Taizu who came here from the imperial capital.

"Shen Ping."

"You must be a person from outer space."

The first thing Ji Taizu said was to reveal Shen Ping's origins.

Shen Ping's eyebrows showed surprise, "What does Ji Taizu mean?"

Ji Taizu laughed and said, "Your rise is too fast. Throughout the dynasties, even in the ancient times, there has never been a genius like you who has reached such a level in less than two hundred years. If it were just you, you might be considered a person with great luck, but most of the children born in the same period as you are gifted. This is not a coincidence."

Shen Ping did not explain, but said: "Couldn't it be a genius who appeared in the era of great strife?"

"There have always been times of great contention, and peerless geniuses have emerged, but no matter what era it is, there have never been so many geniuses."

Ji Taizu shook his head, "Shen Ping, whether you admit it or not, it doesn't matter. I am just purely curious."

Shen Ping curled the corner of his mouth. He didn't believe that Ji Taizu asked casually. There must be some secret that he didn't know.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, Grandmaster Ji. I have heard of your legend since I was born. Today I have broken through to the second level of the Star Platform, so I came to ask for your advice!"

boom!!

As soon as the words fell.

The sea below the two people suddenly rolled up, and in the blink of an eye, waves thousands of meters high were raised. These waves condensed into water spears as they rotated, and each spear contained power that exceeded the power of the water world.

When Ji Taizu saw this, his expression remained calm. He floated in the air without making any movement. When water spears with a width of several hundred meters shot towards him like arrows, the aura of power of heaven and earth burst out from his body. Then, a towering city wall of thousands of miles long condensed out of thin air in front of him, as tall and heavy as an imperial capital.

Bang, bang, bang! The spears hit the city wall, splashing layers of water, but the city wall was as stable as Mount Tai.

Wow.

The surging sea water rolled again, and this time it did not condense into spears, but directly formed a tide that swept towards the city wall. At the moment when waves hit the city wall, green vines suddenly appeared in the tide. They were like ivy, and they instantly covered the city wall and took root inside the city wall.

collapse!!

The next moment the tide broke down the city wall.

See this scene.

Ji Taizu's expression changed slightly. He stared at Shen Ping and said, "You are amazing with your dual elements of water and wood!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed forward.

The collapsed city walls gathered together again at a speed visible to the naked eye, but they condensed into twelve golden tripods, which easily resisted the attacks of the sea tides and vines with their suppressive force.

It is obvious that Ji Taizu also has multiple bloodlines.

To this.

Shen Ping was not surprised. Since he was able to defeat other strong men of the same level and establish the powerful Great Xia Dynasty a thousand years ago, it is impossible that Ji Taizu had only one bloodline. Moreover, as long as he reached the second level of the Star Platform, he would find ways to increase new bloodline.

"Ancestor Ji has great tactics!"

Praise it.

The sea tide and vines quickly disappeared, and then balls of fire appeared in the sky, like fire from heaven, smashing towards the twelve golden tripods.

The rolling heavenly fire melted the twelve golden tripods in an instant.

It is also the power of heaven and earth on the second level of the Star Platform. The fire bloodline restrains the gold bloodline. Even though Ji Taizu's use and comprehension of the power of heaven and earth are stronger than Shen Ping, he still cannot stop it.

"Water, wood, fire... As expected of a being from outer space!"

"I want to see how much blood you can exert!"

The blood and star energy in Ji Taizu's body exploded, and the waves that had just subsided surged again. It turned out that he also had water blood.

"Master Ji, please see if my golden tripod can suppress your water system!"

Shen Ping followed suit and also activated the gold bloodline star energy, quickly condensing it into twelve golden tripods to suppress the waves.

Ji Taizu's face was gloomy. The four bloodlines really surprised him. You know, each additional bloodline means spending several times more time on cultivation and improvement. But the other party had four bloodlines and could actually break through to the second level of the Star Platform in such a short time. It was incredible.

He slept in the Black Abyss for nearly a thousand years before he was able to barely condense the other two bloodlines.

"Humph, even if you are a fourth-level person, so what!"

"The power of heaven and earth is the true essence!"

"Break it for me!"

Ji Taizu let out a low roar, and the surging energy of the bloodline stars covered an area of ​​dozens of kilometers. A large amount of sea water swirled and swept in. In addition, golden spears were mixed in it, violently hitting the twelve golden tripods.

The battles between the star platforms were purely about using the power of heaven and earth to attack each other.

Especially between the same level.

Whoever has a deeper understanding and application of the power of heaven and earth will gradually gain the upper hand.

Shen Ping had just broken through to the second level of the Star Platform. His original intention this time was to see the gap between himself and these veteran second-level masters. However, after the fight just now, he had realized that in terms of the power of heaven and earth, he was no match for Ji Taizu. However, relying on the restraint of multiple bloodlines, he could barely gain the upper hand. However, it would be difficult to solve the problem.

"I have a talent for devouring, and with the added energy of multiple bloodlines and stars, I should be able to consume it slowly!"

Although the blood stars of the strong men of the Star Platform are huge, the consumption of activating the power of heaven and earth is not small. Under normal circumstances, a strong man of the Star Platform can continuously activate the power of heaven and earth for several days. Ji Taizu, who is on the second level of the Star Platform, can definitely last for more than ten days.

However, ten days later.

The blood aura of Ji Taizu did not weaken at all, which surprised Shen Ping.

Boom! After another round of fighting.

Ji Taizu spoke directly: "Master Shen, how about we stop the competition here? If we continue, it will only waste our blood and stars, and there is no point."

Hearing this.

The blood energy in Shen Ping's body was restrained. Although he did not use his wind blood, even if he did, it would only increase the suppression at most, and it would still be difficult to defeat the opponent.

"Emperor Ji is indeed a powerful figure who founded the Great Xia Dynasty. This leader admires his strength and ability."

He cupped his hands and praised.

In this world.

The Ji Taizu in front of him was the first equally matched opponent he had encountered.

Ji Taizu smiled. Being praised by such a peerless genius was indeed a very proud thing. "Master Shen's strength is not much inferior. Since you and I have stopped fighting, why don't we go to the imperial capital for a cup of tea?"

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

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Grandmaster Ji invited me, how dare I refuse?"

The two of them returned to the imperial capital while chatting and laughing.

The three royal star towers guarding the imperial capital sensed Taizu's aura, and they all showed joy on their faces.

"Go, bring me the Dragon Mist Spirit Tea that I cultivated."

Ji Taizu gave an order, looked at Shen Ping and said, "Master Shen, please."

Come to the pavilion in the back garden of the imperial court.

The two sat down.

The royal star platform behind him looked at each other, wondering why the two of them suddenly became so harmonious. Weren't they fighting to the death before? He took a sip of tea.

Shen Ping couldn't help but ask: "Grandmaster Ji, what kind of environment is the Black Abyss?"

Ji Taizu seemed to have known that Shen Ping would ask this question. He turned his head and said, "You three go down first."

"Yes, Taizu."

After the Royal Star Platform leaves.

Ji Taizu did not rush to answer Shen Ping's question. He looked up at the sky and said slowly: "Anyone in the Star Realm will have a vague feeling. When you reach the Star Palace, this feeling will be clearer, and the Star Platform will know the specific direction of the Black Abyss."

"Throughout the ages, all the strong men who have reached the Star Platform will eventually go to the Black Abyss. However, the Black Abyss is not accessible to anyone who wants to. Only the strong men at the second level of the Star Platform can enter."

Speaking of this.

He then said: "To be precise, the Black Abyss does not exist in this world. It is another world, or a small world."

Shen Ping showed surprise on his face.

The Black Abyss is actually a small world.

Ji Taizu's voice continued, "In this small world, time passes very slowly, and the passage of life will naturally slow down as well. A thousand years pass outside, but only ten years pass inside the Black Abyss. The so-called sleep is actually just a euphemism for the outside world. After all, if those Star Emperor Realm or even the real Emperor Realm who are at the end of their lifespans knew the truth, I'm afraid they would go crazy, especially those who see no hope and would probably completely destroy the world."

Shen Ping suddenly realized.

I see.

really.

If a top strong person cannot see any hope for the future, the possibility of him going crazy is very high, because after living for tens of thousands of years, they no longer care about family and friendship, let alone the world.

"Is there no strong person who can make this truth known?"

He asked.

Ji Taizu sighed, "Of course there are. Those strong men who entered the Black Abyss and found themselves deceived were unwilling to accept it. They wanted to leave the Black Abyss and reveal the truth. Unfortunately, they can enter but cannot come out. Even if they can come out, they will be restricted."

Shen Ping was startled and couldn't help asking, "Grandmaster Ji, does this mean there are strong people protecting us in the Black Abyss?"

Ji Taizu glanced at Shen Ping and said, "Yes, there are three kinds of forces in the Black Abyss. One kind cares about the world, one kind cares only about its own interests like the Black Dragon Demon Emperor, and the other kind is a neutral force. Fortunately, the forces that care about the world have the upper hand and are generally stronger."

"You should have guessed the reason."

Shen Ping blurted out: "The destiny of the world?"

"right."

"Every powerful person who can reach the pinnacle must have the luck of the world. Even if they reach the Black Abyss, this luck will not disappear. So no matter if it is for their own interests or they really care about the world, they will not allow anyone to come out and reveal the truth."

"The reason why the Black Dragon Demon Emperor, the Sea Monster, and I were able to come out this time is mainly because the ten thousand year period is approaching. Every time this happens, special resources will appear in the Black Abyss or outside, such as the Heaven's Heart Stone, the Blood Pool, and those things in the Black Abyss."

Ji Taizu took a sip of the spiritual tea and continued, "And the three of us represent three different forces, and our main goal is to win over the newly promoted strong men."

"Even if you don't come to me, I will come to you sooner or later."

"The Black Dragon Demon Emperor should have looked for you."

Shen Ping nodded, "The Black Dragon Cult will assist me, on the condition that after entering the Black Abyss, I will help the Black Dragon Demon Emperor."

Ji Taizu snorted, "The Black Dragon Demon Emperor just wants to use you."

Shen Ping didn't say anything. He would not believe Ji Taizu's one-sided words, nor would he believe the Black Dragon Demon Emperor.

"I will not compete with you for resources like the blood pool, but regarding the territory, I hope that Master Shen can slow down and wait for a hundred years. During this period, nominally, the Great Xia Dynasty will still rule the world, but in reality, the officials of various prefectures and the Demon Suppression Bureau can obey your orders, and even let you send them."

"A hundred years from now, the Black Dragon Demon Emperor, the Sea Monster, and I will all re-enter the Black Abyss. After all, our lifespans are limited. If we stay here for one more day, our lifespans will be consumed by one more day. A hundred years is already the limit."

Ji Taizu stared at Shen Ping, and seeing that he did not respond immediately, he said, "Master Shen, you will enter the Black Abyss sooner or later, and Jizhou must train new Xingtai strongmen, and they cannot be weak, so you also need time."

Ji Taizu was right.

Shen Ping does need time, but he does not do this to make Jizhou last for thousands of years like the Great Xia Dynasty. Instead, he wants to improve himself. After all, Heiyuan is a place of great opportunities. He cannot even deal with Ji Taizu alone, let alone those stronger emperor-level powerhouses.

"good."

"One hundred years."

"But within ten years, my Jizhou must occupy six more states."

Ji Taizu smiled and said, "Okay."

His goal was only to prevent the Great Xia Dynasty from perishing within a hundred years, even in name only; he did not care about the territory.

After the deal was done.

Ji Taizu invited Shen Ping to appreciate the delicacies of the imperial capital and introduced him to women of the royal family. Especially after hearing that Ji Ruyue was Shen Ping's daughter, he personally promised to immediately let Emperor Jian'an pass the throne to a branch of Ji Ruyue's lineage.

Leaving the imperial capital.

On the way back to Jizhou.

Shen Ping pondered.

He knew that Ji Taizu must be hiding something, and his purpose was definitely not just to win over a new second-level Star Platform powerhouse. It was just that it was difficult for him to get rid of the other party at the moment, so he could only delay time and wait for the seven bloodlines to merge into source blood. By then, his strength would surely skyrocket.
