Chapter 462 - 462: Form Power (1)
Twenty minutes later, the excitement brought about by breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm gradually subsided.
Sensing the transformation and strength of his body in all aspects, Shen Ping’s eyes flickered with confidence. Although the Void Refinement Realm was not a true expert in the cultivation world, and this realm was more of the foundation to truly transform into an immortal, at least in the underground palace of the Strange Beast Gate, the Void Refinement Realm was the limit that Beast Spirit geniuses could reach.
More importantly, at this cultivation level, he could truly come into contact with the power of the form of a high-grade beast spirit treasure. He was not in a hurry to open the jade box floating in front of him. Instead, he took out three high-grade beast spirit treasures from the spirit ring.
Attack-type silk blade.
Defensive Scarlet Flame Blood Shield.
Yin Yang Bracelet that bound and trapped enemies.
His huge transformed divine sense immediately seeped into the silk blade. Unlike before, this time, his divine sense actually sensed the space inside the silk blade. In space, there were a large number of blades that were like sword lights. Every blade was as thin as a cicada’s wing, and there was a strange beast pattern on the surface.
Boom.
Just as his divine sense came into contact with one of the blade patterns, information surged in like a flood. The first form of the silk blade—Falling Rain.
After activating it, the silk blade would form a storm-like domain. Its speed was faster than ordinary forms and its range was wider. However, this form was very harsh on the controller. It required at least 50% comprehension of the strange beast concept.
Under normal circumstances, those who comprehended the 30% of the concept would be considered second-grade Beast Spirit geniuses. 50% would be first-grade Beast Spirit geniuses. Only those who comprehended more than 70% of the concept would be considered prodigies.
However, this was not difficult for Shen Ping. Although he had not comprehended the true beast form, he had long reached Major Accomplishment in the beast form of the Talisman Beast Scripture derived from the Beast Scripture. Moreover, he had already comprehended 90% and was almost perfect.
Therefore, even if his beast form concept was slightly reduced, it was enough to activate the first form.
He retracted his divine sense. Shen Ping then infiltrated the Scarlet Flame Blood Shield. This high-grade beast spirit treasure did not have an internal space, but his powerful divine sense could sense the difference on the surface of the Blood Shield. There was also a strange beast pattern on the surface, but it was different from the pattern of the silk blade. It should be another strange beast.
Its first form, Mountain Control, was relatively simple. After activation, it could condense the strange beast pattern on the surface and greatly increase its defense power. Even an offensive immortal artifact could not break through its defense, be it magic powers or divine sense attacks.
Lastly, there was the Yin Yang Bracelet.
When his divine sense permeated, there were subtle gaps in the light and dark stripes. These spaces also had this strange beast pattern. When activated, the entire Yin-Yang Bracelet would be divided into nine Yin-Yang Bracelets with the stripes as a line. They formed a simple Nine Palace Array Formation and had a stronger binding and entrapment ability. After the nine Yin-Yang Bracelets trapped the enemy, the binding and suppression of magic power would last longer.
After checking the form and power of the three high-grade beast spirit treasures, Shen Ping could not help but sigh. The power of the ordinary form of a high-level beast spirit treasure was simply worlds apart from its true form. If he could activate the first form of the silk blade when he was at the Divine Transformation realm, he could easily kill Shi Hu without using the beast-shaped puppet.
However, a Void Refinement Realm Beast Spirit genius could only control one high-level Beast Spirit Treasure. The rest could only activate the ordinary form. The main reason was that the ordinary form did not need to be refined at a deeper level. It could be activated just by leaving a divine sense mark.
True form was different. It needed one’s divine sense to penetrate and refine every pattern so that it could be activated.
“Although the silk blade is strong, its ordinary form’s attack power is enough to deal with Void Refinement Realm and Body Integration Devil Clan cultivators. There’s no need to refine the first form for the time being. Moreover, my attack has Talisman Dao Mystique, Puppet Mystique, and various other divine powers. It’s enough to deal with it. What I lack are methods to trap and restrain the enemy.”
Actually, it was not a difficult choice for Shen Ping. The Yin Yang Bracelet was what he needed the most at the moment. He put away the three beast spirit treasures. Only then did he have the time to open the floating jade box.
Boom.
As he opened it, the dazzling golden light was blinding. After the light dissipated, he saw a palace in the jade box. The moment his divine sense came into contact with it, a large amount of information surged in.
Special-type defensive high-grade beast spirit treasure!
Golden Pattern Treasure Hall.
Shen Ping could not help but be stunned. It was actually a special beast spirit treasure. Even among ordinary beast spirit treasures, special types were relatively rare. He had been in the underground palace for a long time and had obtained and plundered many low-level beast spirit treasures. However, until now, there were only three or four special types.
This special type did not require too much control. For example, this Golden Pattern Treasure Hall only needed sufficient strange stones to operate normally. Beast Spirit geniuses could stay inside and cultivate. Moreover, special type defensive beast spirit treasures were undoubtedly stronger than shields and armor in terms of defense.
It could be said that if the Flame Clan had such a palace in the end during the competition for the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit, they would not need an immortal formation at all. They would be able to protect it with just the palace.
Of course, palaces also had obvious disadvantages, which were that they were difficult to move. However, Shen Ping was pleasantly surprised. Because of this Golden Pattern Treasure Hall, it would be much safer for his wife, concubine, and Dao companions to come out of the Nine Continents Tower in the future.
Even if a True Immortal cultivator came, he did not have to worry about the safety of them.
Amidst his joy, he took out the resplendent crystal and sent a message to his master, Lian Xuejin. “Master, when can I let my wife, concubine, and Dao companions leave the Nine Continents Tower?”
All these years, his master was focused on cultivating. Sometimes, her reply was very slow. Therefore, Shen Ping put away the crystals and left the Strange Beast Gate..
