Chapter 928: Bad Situation (2)
“Shen Ping, you have to be prepared. Although the gazes of all the races are focused on the expert from the outer realm, once we deal with them, the Devil Clan, the Flame Race, the Spirit Race, the Demon Race, and the other races will definitely attack our human race and start a war. At that time, the Northern Ice Immortal City will become the first place to fight!”
Speaking of this, Immortal Venerable Yao said softly, “The reason why Venerable Sovereign asked you to go to Northern Ice Immortal City is probably because he had already made arrangements. We don’t know anything about the methods of the experts from the outer realm. It’s inevitable that we’ll be injured. Don’t worry. For the time being, the Devil Clan and other races won’t attack. After all, that expert from the outer realm is only trapped and injured.”
After the end of contact, Shen Ping’s heart sank. He did not expect the situation to become so bad. His master was heavily injured. From this, it could be seen how powerful that outer realm expert was, since he was facing so many Venerable Sovereigns who had even planned in advance.
“Even if I go now, it’s useless. Looks like I can only prepare well in the Northern Ice Immortal City!”
After thinking about it carefully, he dispelled the idea of going to the core area of the ancient array. Although he had broken through to the Immortal King realm and his combat strength had soared to the Venerable Sovereign level, he was still an ordinary Venerable Sovereign. Even Venerable Tian Hong was injured, let alone him.
He arrived at the Strange Beast Gate. He used his authority to summon the artifact spirit, Lord Yin. “Senior, I’m already an Immortal King now. I wonder what methods I have to kill expert from the outer realms!”
The black-robed Emperor of the Dead shook his head. “You’re too weak. That outlander has already recovered to the mid-stage of the Primordial Dao Realm. Moreover, I can sense through the Realm Sea Peak that he’s still recovering. Although he’s trapped in a region by all of you, you have to at least be at the peak of the Initial Dao Realm or the Dao Yuan Realm to kill him.
“Even if your authority is very high, almost equivalent to half of the Realm Sea Peak’s master, you might not use many methods unless you’re willing to pay a price.”
Shen Ping hurriedly asked, “What price?”
“Do you remember that special space in the Blue Temple World?”
“Yes.”
Before he entered and left, he saw a terrifying creature. Its aura was comparable to that of a Venerable Sovereign. For it to be so terrifying in a technological civilization, it was obvious that the blue hall world was extraordinary.
The Emperor of the Dead said, “Of all the giant palace worlds and small worlds, the blue giant palace world has the most complete rules, and that special space suppresses three corpses. These are the three tails that Master casually killed before he died. At the same time, he was worried that it would be difficult for his successor to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the future, so he specially suppressed and refined these three corpses.
“The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth you comprehended was all comprehended and naturally emitted by these three experts of the endless realm. With some methods, you can control these three corpses, which can also be called puppets.
“The three corpses are at the early Initial Dao Realm, late Dao Origin Realm, and Dao Lord Realm. As long as you can control the weakest early Initial Dao Realm corpse, it shouldn’t be a problem to kill that expert from the outer realm. However, you’re only at the Immortal King Realm. If you forcefully control it, it will cause a certain degree of loss to your true soul power, and the impact will not be small.”
Shen Ping was enlightened. So that was the case. No wonder it was so easy to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the blue giant hall world. It turned out that it was spread by the experts of the endless realms. In that case, the mental pollution energy was also naturally dissipated by these experts after they died. “Lord Yin, I wonder what level I have to reach before I can truly control these corpse puppets?”
“At the very least, you have to be at the Venerable Sovereign level, which is the Initial Dao Realm. Only then will you not lose your true soul power. Of course, if you have grasped 30% of the top Great Dao, you can easily control it,” the artifact spirit said.
Once he grasped 30% of the top-notch Heaven and Earth Great Dao, his strength would soar. His understanding of the world would also undergo a qualitative change. However, it was very difficult to reach 30%. For example, Shen Ping had grasped many Heaven and Earth Great Dao and had comprehension of fate and reincarnation. Up until now, he could barely unleash 20%. He had only completely comprehended 10%.
“Now that you’ve broken through to the Immortal King Realm, you still have to continue tempering your comprehension in the giant hall world. Only then can you grasp 30% of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth faster!” the Emperor of the Dead reminded him.
Shen Ping nodded. Previously, he had stayed in the Northern Ice Immortal City mainly to break through to the Immortal King Realm. Now that he had broken through, it was impossible for his cultivation to increase in a short period of time. This was because advancing from the Immortal King Realm to the Immortal Venerable Realm was mainly the accumulation of the Dao Embryo.
He was absorbing and improving by comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. He can’t improve as quickly as before. Generally speaking, it took at least a million years to accumulate from an Immortal King to an Immortal Venerable, and this was with outstanding potential.
He left the Strange Beast Gate, walked to the pavilion of the cave abode and looked down at the beautiful scenery below. He fell into deep thought. Although Immortal Venerable Yao did not say it explicitly, according to his deduction, the Devil Clan and foreign races should not attack the Northern Ice Immortal City in thousands of years.
So he had time to prepare.
“In addition to going to the palace of the Realm Sea Peak to increase the comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, I have to nurture and establish a faction in the Northern Ice Immortal City to deal with the battles of the Devil Clan, Flame Race, and other foreign races at any time. But before that, I’ll choose a Great Dao treasure and secret technique that suits me.”
Thinking of this, Shen Ping waved his hand, and Great Dao treasures floated in front of him. These true treasures were all obtained from the Demon Mountain in the Immortal Extinction Forbidden Land. The best of them were high-grade Great Dao true treasures, but there were only three. The rest were ordinary and medium-grade.
The quality of his Heavenly Star Armor was not low, so there was no need to choose any more armor-type Great Dao true treasures.
“Support-type, Binding-type, Domain Suppression-type, and Spear-type. Four Great Dao Treasures and my armor are enough!”
His gaze swept over. In the end, he chose a Netherworld Painting, a Purple Spirit Rope, and a Tiger Head Seal. To be honest, there were no suitable spears. He could only reluctantly use an ordinary black-brown spear to replace the Primordial Chaos Spear.
The remaining Great Dao secret techniques were mainly the Dao Origin Secret Books. There were no secret techniques related to the Great Dao of the Chaos Hole in the entire human race’s treasure vault. They were in the secret vault of Realm Sea Peak, but with his current authority, he could not enter. He could only enter the palace world.
Therefore, he chose two secret techniques that were suitable for all Great Daos, Liuying and Thousand Illusion Sea. One of them was a flying movement technique, and the other was an offensive support technique. It was enough that he had the gift of a strange beast for Escape Technique. There was no need to choose more secret techniques.
When he was done, Shen Ping continued to cultivate in seclusion. First, he completed the nurturing of the Dao Embryo. Then, he familiarized himself with the Great Dao treasure he chose. The other Immortal Venerables and even Venerable Sovereigns did not have a Great Dao treasure. They had no choice at all, and he chose ones that were suitable for him.
After spending a hundred years, he could barely familiarize himself with these Great Dao treasures.
“Are you going to the palace world?”
Wang Yun, Yu Yan and the others asked.
In the Holy Land, Shen Ping often went to the Realm Sea Peak palace, but he rarely went there since he came to the Northern Ice Immortal City. This time, he had to choose a palace world carefully and not enter randomly like before.
“Are you guys coming?”
He had the authority, so he could get his wives and concubines together and arrange their identities. His wives, concubines, and Dao-companions were a bit tempted, but they quickly shook their heads. Recently, they had developed quite well in the Northern Ice Immortal City and planned to nurture a team first. To be honest, even if they went, their gains wouldn’t be much. The main reason was that their soul force was too low. Even if they comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, it would be very difficult for them to digest and absorb it.
