Chapter 458: Ancient Temple in the Deserted
Mountain Xianhong Tower.
Zi Mei'er sighed, "A thousand years have passed, but City Lord Shen has not come to appreciate the dance again. It seems that Mei'er's appearance is not pleasing to City Lord Shen. That's it. Mei'er has decided to set off to return to Tianxuan Realm tomorrow."
The shopkeeper wanted to persuade her to stay, but he swallowed the words back. "Daoist Purple is a beauty, but City Lord Shen is a genius of our human race. He puts most of his energy into cultivation and doesn't care much about the secular world. Otherwise, he would definitely understand Daoist Purple's love for you."
"In addition to City Lord Shen, there are many outstanding people in the Great Dark Abyss. Fellow Daoist Zi may be able to settle for the next best thing, which may be a form of cultivation."
Over the years, there have been countless young men who have secretly shown love for Zi Meir, including some from the Shen family. Unfortunately, Zi Meir doesn't like any of them and only has her heart on Shen Ping.
But the flowers are affectionate but the water is heartless.
Zi Mei'er shook her head, "I have made up my mind, Senior Chen, maybe we will meet again someday."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Looking at his back.
The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, thinking that Zi Meir was too ambitious. Ever since the rise of Zhenbao Pavilion and City Lord Shen's fame spread far and wide, countless beauties have wanted to gain the city lord's favor so that they could rise to the top, but in the end no one has succeeded.
I have heard that the sisters of the An family followed City Lord Shen when he was in obscurity, and that is why they were able to become his Taoist companions. It is obvious that what the other party values is affection, not appearance.
"Born at the wrong time, born at the wrong time!"
He secretly thought it was a pity.
This Zi Meir is really patient. If she had known the City Lord when he was young like the An sisters, she might have already moved into the City Lord's Mansion today.
The next day.
The animal carts stepped on the bluestone road, splashing waves of cool air.
The huge Greystone City gate has one more sad person leaving.
But among the crowds of cultivators coming and going, there were also female cultivators who entered the city gate with great aspirations, hoping to meet City Lord Shen, who was famous among all races.
White clouds are floating.
The Greystone City, which has gone through countless tens of thousands of years, will carry an unknown story.
And this is the world of cultivation.
Another five hundred years later.
Inside the World Pearl.
Shen Ping, who had closed his eyes and ignored what was happening outside, slowly opened his eyes, feeling the special space in his body opened up by the Heart of Chaos gradually evolving into the prototype of the world. A hint of joy that was hard to conceal appeared in the corner of his eyes.
After nurturing the seven great ways of heaven and earth for more than a thousand years, his hard work has finally paid off. If he wants, he can now completely transform the chaotic space into the prototype of a world. However, such a world is not perfect, it is just a framework. Even if he comprehends the great way of chaotic space, the power of the small world he will activate in the future will be much weaker.
This is not what Shen Ping wants to see.
Since he had chosen the pinnacle of heaven and earth, he planned to make it the strongest.
"Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder... these great ways of heaven and earth are too low-level. Even the most basic great ways of heaven and earth. If you want to perfect the chaotic space, you have to comprehend some higher-level great ways!"
In fact, this is one of the reasons why it is difficult to walk on the mixed road.
After all, if one can comprehend a higher level of Dao, there will naturally be hope of breaking through to the Emperor level, so why bother to choose the Chaos Dao?
"I hope there will be some good harvests in the giant palace world."
Get up.
Looking around, his wives, concubines and fellow Taoists were not there.
Shen Ping moved his mind slightly and left the World Pearl, and came to the pavilion by the lake. Sure enough, Wang Yun, Yu Yan and several others were sitting together chatting about family matters to relax.
Sensing the natural aura emanating from them, a smile appeared on his face.
One thousand five hundred years of secluded practice.
Coupled with the 45-fold time acceleration of the World Pearl, which is equivalent to nearly 70,000 years of hard practice, even if the wives, concubines and companions are dull in talent, with sufficient resources, they have all broken through from the fusion level to the Mahayana level one after another.
Among them, Yingyue, who has the best talent, is already in the late Mahayana stage and is not far from transcending the tribulation. The second is Yue Lingluo, who has also reached the middle Mahayana stage. The others are in the early Mahayana stage.
However, compared to Yin Ting, who is from the lineage of strange beasts, there is still a big gap in their strength.
As soon as Shen Ping sat down, he became the center of attention among his wives, concubines and companions, and the beautiful women immediately surrounded him.
"What are you talking about?"
He asked casually, opening his mouth to eat the grapes handed to him by Bai Yuying.
Yu Yan smiled and said, "We sisters were just discussing whether to go out for a trip to relax. We have been in seclusion for quite a while, and we don't know about some of the changes in the Dark Abyss. It's a good opportunity to go out and learn a little bit."
Bai Yuying said with a smile: "Husband, we have already achieved the Great Perfection stage, so we want to find some alien races to practice with and stretch our bodies."
Shen Ping pinched Bai Yuying's cheek and said, "This is what you think in your heart."
"That's fine. From Mahayana to transcending tribulation, the main thing is to refine the soul. The state of mind is very important. It's time for you to go out and travel. Have you decided where to go?"
The women looked at each other.
Finally, Pei Huoyu said: "In addition to the Dark Abyss, we also plan to visit other cultivation realms."
Shen Ping was stunned. Now that many interface channels connecting to the Dark Abyss have been opened, it is indeed very convenient to go to various cultivation realms, but he is a little worried.
Yue Lingluo said: "Husband, we have many immortal tools you gave us, as well as powerful immortal talismans and rare beast talismans. We can protect ourselves even if we encounter a celestial immortal or even a golden immortal in the lower world. Sister Ting'er will also be with us this time."
Listen to this.
He looked at Yin Ting.
Yin Ting nodded with a smile.
Shen Ping finally felt relieved. Yin Ting had entered the scale armor level more than 500 years ago. Although she was still in the stage of tribulation, her overall combat power was comparable to that of a celestial being. With her around, no matter what situation she encountered, she could handle it.
We chatted for a while longer.
Wang Yun talked about the situation of the descendants of the Shen family in recent years. The eldest son Shen An has been staying in the eastern area of Tai'an Abyss for hundreds of years, responsible for the operation and management of the Zhenbao Tower there, while the eldest daughter, the second daughter, and other first and second generation descendants have already gone to other cultivation circles to develop the Zhenbao Pavilion.
But two hundred years ago, all the descendants of the bloodline came to Greystone City.
"An'er has already broken through to the Mahayana stage, and the others are also at the Fusion stage. The first and second generations of my Shen family's bloodline have finally grown up."
Shen Ping nodded. This speed of practice was acceptable. After all, he had the bonus of practice time from the World Pearl. If he still hadn't grown, it would be a waste of so many resources.
"Where are Tiantai and Qinglian?"
He asked.
"Tiantai has now also reached the stage of fusion, and Qinglian just broke through to the stage of refining emptiness last year. However, the talents of the younger generations born in the clan in recent years are relatively average. Even if they use resources to pile them up, they can only reach the stage of refining emptiness at most. Whether they can break through to the stage of fusion depends on their own luck."
Wang Yun sighed.
Although the Shen family is the strongest in the Dark Abyss and has huge resources like the Zhenbao Pavilion, they do not have unlimited resources for the training of their descendants. Thousands of years ago, the Shen family formulated a training plan. Only descendants with excellent talents or great perseverance and hard work will receive a large amount of resources.
Shen Ping was silent. It takes thousands or tens of thousands of years for a family to produce a genius, and the Shen family has been developing for more than four thousand years. Although its foundation is not as good as those families of immortals who have overcome tribulations, it is considered a medium-sized family in the Dark Abyss. However, no real genius has been born there. Shen Tiantai can only be considered half a genius.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. The first and second generations are gradually growing up. From now on, apart from resources like the World Pearl, Yun'er and Yan'er, you should stop worrying about other things. Leave them to An'er and the others to handle."
"One's own cultivation is the most important."
Wang Yun, Yu Yan and other women nodded one after another. They knew that their husbands had already reached the level where they could ascend to heaven. The reason they had not ascended to heaven was that they were waiting for them to break through the tribulation and ascend to heaven together.
The next few months.
He accompanied his wives, concubines and fellow Taoists well until Wang Yun, Pei Huoyu and the others left the City Lord's Mansion and began their journey. Only then did he come to the quiet room and enter the Gate of Strange Beasts.
However, before going to the Jiehai Peak Palace, Shen Ping talked to his master Lian Xuejin about some things about cultivation through the dazzling crystal.
After thousands of years, Lian Xuejin is no longer afraid to face his disciples as before. Although those memories have been deeply rooted in his bones, the emotions they affect are not as strong as at the beginning.
…
Above the majestic and endless Jiehai Peak stands a palace complex.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Shen Ping saw the black-robed spirit.
The great way of heaven and earth is extremely important.
But even if one possesses the perfect blood of a strange beast, it still takes tens of thousands of years to comprehend one skill. Therefore, if one wants to master it quickly, entering the palace world is undoubtedly the quickest way.
Of course, he has another way, that is to have sex with a female cultivator who has mastered the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and improve through the virtual panel. However, those who can comprehend the great Dao of Heaven and Earth are basically at the level of Immortal King. Even if he is the strongest prodigy of the human race, it is impossible for him to obtain the body of an Immortal King.
"Shen Ping, since this palace world has never been born, and you don't have a bracelet, after you reincarnate, not only will your true spirit be sealed, but you will not have any memory of it when you leave in the future."
"In addition, the speed of time flowing inside the palace world is ten to one compared to that outside. In three hundred years, the palace world will be born, and other beast spirits will also be reincarnated and reborn into it. You have an extra three thousand years of time advantage over them. I hope you can gain something."
The black robe spirit said with a smile.
Shen Ping nodded and asked, "Senior, I wonder if reincarnation can come in an adult body?"
"You have a cyan bracelet, so of course you can."
"Before entering, just silently recite the year bone of the reincarnated soul descending into the body. But I remind you that this kind of descent is very risky."
Shen Ping bowed and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Senior."
After saying that, he activated the green bracelet.
Suddenly, his body appeared in the center of a huge palace.
Crash.
Reincarnation comes with silent recitation in the heart.
A trace of his true spirit floated out of his body and disappeared into the colorful vortex of the palace in the blink of an eye.
…
Just as his vision regained some brightness, a knife-like cold wind blew into his body from all directions. Shen Ping subconsciously curled up his body and forced his eyes open to look around.
The old temple was in ruins, with half of its beams collapsed and wooden pillars falling on the shoulders of the statues. The surroundings were in a mess, covered with spider webs, the ground was damp, poisonous insects were running around, and cold wind blew in from the windows and the collapsed hole above.
And through the window.
It was drizzling outside.
Shake your head.
The remaining memories of this body flooded in like a tide, but his powerful true spirit absorbed and digested them in an instant.
Shen Yu, a native of Yao County, Leshan Prefecture, Zhao State, passed the imperial examination at the age of nineteen, but two years later he resolutely left his hometown and traveled to various famous mountains and rivers in Chen State, wanting to visit immortal mountains and seek the way of immortals. Unfortunately, after traveling through the mountains for five or six years, he never encountered an immortal. Now he was poor and starved to death in this ancient temple in a desolate mountain.
The reason why he was so persistent was that when he passed the examination for the scholar, he met a fox demon, and the story of the scholar and the fox demon unfolded.
"Interesting, this world is actually a chaotic world where immortals, demons, monsters and ghosts coexist. I wonder if its cultivation system is the same as outside?"
He closed his eyes.
After meditating, he used his powerful true spirit to carefully feel the world, and soon he sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy flowing in the air. However, when Shen Ping was ready to practice according to his previous cultivation method, he was unable to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body.
“It seems the system is different.”
Shake your head.
He changed to another method, and his true spirit tried to sense the fluctuations of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, but there was no movement. You know, although he was just a reincarnation of a true spirit, he had many memories of the perception, experience and power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Even if he could not comprehend and activate the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, he could still sense a slight fluctuation with his true spirit.
Then Shen Ping continued to try various methods, but none of them could work. Even the talismans that made him powerful had lost their effect, and even the strange beasts were of no use.
This made him frown.
Finally, the method of strengthening the body finally had an effect.
Gurgle.
After just exercising and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for a while, his hungry stomach started to growl. He walked to the entrance of the ancient temple and looked helpless. There was no village or shop in this desolate mountain and wilderness, so where could he get food? But if he didn't replenish his food, he wouldn't be able to sustain his body by exercising alone.
"Forget it, sir, just be angry."
"Don't freeze to death again."
Suppress the thought.
He walked out of the ancient temple and found some tree bark that had not been wetted, some cotton wool, etc. in the nearby mountains and forests, and then returned to the ancient temple to make a fire.
As the flames leaped up.
Shen Ping's cold body gradually began to feel a little warm.
It was late at night.
The rain outside had stopped, but the darkness was still swallowing up the ancient temple like a giant beast. Only the dancing flame brought some light.
Looking at the slightly ferocious statue, he was amazed. His original self was also very brave. He dared to seek immortals alone and stayed in such an ancient temple in a desolate mountain without fear of being found by demons and ghosts. Perhaps his original self was looking forward to this kind of encounter.
"Hey, there is an ancient temple here."
Suddenly, a soft female voice like that of the Jiangnan water village was heard outside the ancient temple, followed by two young girls wearing straw raincoats.
Seeing Shen Ping dressed as a scholar, one of the girls bowed and said timidly, "Excuse me, sir. I came to this temple with my maid to avoid the war. I hope you can help me."
Shen Ping glanced at the two girls casually and said, "This temple is an ownerless place, so you two girls don't have to be polite."
