Chapter 186: Perfected Pei’s Thoughts
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Glory Ranking! 1 hope that Talisman Master Shen can enter the Glory Ranking before the review.” Perfected Yun Ya’s elegant face was filled with seriousness. “If you succeed, even if you only comprehend the third volume of the beast form in the Talisman Beast Scripture, Mountain Fire Hall can help you become a Class A core.”
Shen Ping was stunned.
Pei Huoyu, who was sitting cross-legged beside him, reminded him, “The requirements for the first review of the new core to break through to Class A are relatively high. At the very least, you have to comprehend the fourth volume of the Beast Form. However, if you can rush to the Glory Rankings, the other conditions might be relaxed. If the Mountain Fire Hail uses some connections, it’s very likely that you will directly become Class A.
“Not only do Class A cores have extremely high authority and status, but the resources they have are also the best. Especially when it comes to comprehending the Beast Scripture, they have many supports.
“Before the trial space appeared, it was already very good for you to break through to the B-rank with your progress in the Talisman Scripture. However, now that you’ve ascended to the top of the rankings, you have a chance to break through to the A-rank. Fellow Daoist Shen, you can’t miss such an opportunity because once you miss this opportunity, you’ll have to wait another 20 years to be evaluated again.”
Shen Ping came to a realization. He was not very interested in breaking through to Class A. However, entering the Glory Ranking was a goal in his heart. If he could become Class A at that time, it would not be bad. “Senior Yun Ya, I will do my best.” He cupped his hands and replied.
Perfected Yun Ya smiled. “There’s no need to feel pressured, Talisman Master Shen. This is just Junior Sister Pei and I am looking forward to you. It’s good that you can succeed, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t. As long as you can maintain your ranking on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and continue to obtain restricted resources, you’ll become a Class A core sooner or later.
“In addition, 1 won’t leave for a short period of time after coming back this time. I heard from Junior Sister Pei that for the past half a year, you’ll go to the Yulin Mountain Range to cultivate the Talisman Scripture every three to five days. If you go again in the future, you can ask Junior Sister Pei to inform me.” Next, Perfected Yun Ya asked about Shen Ping’s specific progress in the talisman scriptures. After giving some pointers, Shen Ping and Pei Huoyu stood up and bade farewell. However, just as the two of them walked out of the palace, a streak of light descended.
As the light dissipated, a majestic and thick Nascent Soul aura spread.
Pei Huoyu’s expression changed slightly. “It’s a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.” She cupped her hands slightly and said, “Greetings, Senior.”
When the weak faced the strong, maintaining the most basic etiquette was a rule of the cultivation world for countless years.
If she faced ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, there was no need to bow at all with Pei Huoyu’s strength and status. However, Nascent Soul cultivators were different. In the Southern Flame Continent, where Divine Transformation experts could not stay for long, although late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were not the strongest, they were still top cultivators.
Shen Ping also hurriedly bowed. However, from the corner of his eye, he saw a beautiful figure following beside this late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. She was wearing an emerald green dress with green patterns on the bottom. Her figure was exquisite and petite, and her face was fair and tender. There was a pink bow on her black hair that fluttered in the wind. Below it was an emerald jade hairpin.
A bloody calamity.
He was surprised. He did not expect to meet the female fortune teller he had seen in the True Treasure Pavilion last time here.
The moment they passed each other, the female fortune teller looked at Shen Ping and Pei Huoyu timidly before retracting her gaze.
On the cloud boat that returned to the Linhai Immortal City, Pei Huoyu said indifferently, “The person we saw should be Perfected Linhai. I heard from Senior Brother Yun Ya that Perfected Linhai has taken in a personal disciple in recent years who is good at divination. I think this is her.
“Divination is a relatively rare skill in cultivation. It’s very difficult to achieve anything without a master. The Beast Scripture at the core of the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion also has a modified Divination Scripture. If I’m not wrong, there’s a high chance that Perfected Linhai will let this disciple of his join the True Treasure Pavilion.
“As the saying goes, the pavilion closest to the water gets the moon first. Since Fellow Daoist Shen is quite a woman lover, when this fortune teller becomes a member of the True Treasure Pavilion, you can try to become her Dao companion. It should be beneficial to you in the future.”
Shen Ping’s mouth twitched. He liked to have sex, but he was not so thirsty that he would marry a female cultivator casually. Moreover, he already had three skills, talismans, arrays, and puppets. Usually, it was enough for him to master two of them. If he ate too much, it would be too much.
“Senior Pei, I’m very careful about choosing my wife, concubine, and Dao companion.” He explained in an attempt to change Perfected Pei’s impression of him.
However, Pei Huoyu’s tone was very calm as she said, “Fellow Daoist Shen, when you were bowing just now, your gaze focused on the corner of that female fortune teller’s skirt. If 1 remember correctly, it was the same when you saw Perfected Qiu back then.”
Shen Ping:”…”
He could not help but retort, “I’ve usually studied the material of clothes a lot. It’s the first time I’ve seen different materials, so I’ve paid more attention.”
Pei Huoyu nodded and said, “In that case, I wonder how well Fellow Daoist Shen has studied the material of this light armor dress I’m wearing?”
Shen Ping replied calmly, “It’s still on the surface.”
Pei Huoyu remained silent. Shen Ping continued, “In a few years, 1 might be able to study it more deeply.”
Pei Huoyu looked into Shen Ping’s eyes. “How deep do you want to study it?”
Hearing this, Shen Ping was a little excited. He glanced at Pei Huoyu casually and quickly noticed that her earlobes seemed to be a little red. Hence, he mustered his courage and said, “I want to study as deep as Senior Pei’s thoughts are.”
He had a smile on his face, but he was highly focused on observing her expression. In his mind, many aspects of knowledge related to the Moon Lotus Holy Sect’s Views of the Gateway kept appearing.
Pei Huoyu snorted. “My thoughts are not as deep as you think.”
Shen Ping was overjoyed. Just as he was about to deepen his understanding, the cloud boat landed not far from the city gate.
“We’re here.” As Pei Huoyu spoke, she took a few steps forward.
He looked at the round back of the light armor. Shen Ping shook his head helplessly. He knew that he had missed the opportunity to understand Perfected Pei’s thoughts. He could only wait for the next time.
He returned to the small courtyard.
The boring daily life of cultivation began again.
On a remote desolate island, the ancient blood formation was activated, and the complicated patterns carved on it flickered with blood light. This blood light enveloped Bai Yuxiu, who was sitting cross-legged at the center.
The skin of his body under the black robe was already covered in blood-colored squirming patterns that were like meridians. At the same time, the aura and power emitted by his entire body became even more oppressive.
Suddenly, waves of loud roars roared from the bottom of Bai Yuxiu’s heart, and they became louder and louder. He suddenly opened his eyes, and his deep pupils instantly turned blood-red. The squirming patterns on his body quickly condensed into a ferocious and terrifying strange beast pattern.
Psst.
The moment the pattern condensed, the blood in Bai Yuxiu’s body was sucked dry in an instant, and all of it gathered in the strange beast pattern. The Nascent Soul elder sitting cross-legged around the ancient blood array suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the shriveled Bai Yuxiu in shock.
“Roar!!” Before the Nascent Soul elder could react, a huge roar sounded in the entire deep pit.
Boom!
As the voice vibrated, everything on the desolate island had completely turned to dust. The surrounding seawater surged and raised layers of waves that were thousands of feet long that swept and spread in all directions.
The strange beast pattern condensed by the blood on Bai Yuxiu’s skin, who was in the ancient blood formation, let out a huge roar and quickly disappeared as if it had exhausted all its energy. The blood-colored squirming patterns crawled all over his body again.
His shriveled body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the peak of the tallest mountain in the five continents and four seas, there was an ordinary white jade round platform. Around the round platform sat phantoms that distorted space.
Buzz-
At the same time that the desolate island turned to dust, the round platform trembled violently. However, it quickly returned to calm. When the phantoms saw this scene, their expressions turned solemn.
“He actually triggered two barrier fluctuations in such a short period of time… This has never happened before.”
“This is a big deal.”
“Immediately send a message to the people of the Tai Yan Sect, the Moon Lotus Holy Sect, and the True Treasure Pavilion to discuss.”
Above the desolate island that was completely submerged in seawater, a layer of ripples suddenly appeared in the space. Then, a huge dark red throne appeared in the distortion. Blood-colored phantoms surged around the throne.
They looked down. Their gaze fell on the submerged ancient blood formation. The master of Spring Garden raised his hand and grabbed. The seabed around the entire ancient blood formation quickly rose from the ground, suddenly forming a mountain range.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh.
Blood-colored phantoms landed on the mountain range and stood around the ancient blood array. Bai Yuxiu was still sitting cross-legged at the core of the ancient formation.
“Nothing special. It seems that the ancient array has changed. Leave one here to guard the aura. The rest, follow me to check the other ancient arrays.” The master of Spring Garden disappeared after saying that.
Several hours later, The remaining Blood Lords returned one after another to the dark red hall floating above the blood cocoon. They all looked at the phantom of the throne at the core.
“The ancient blood formation is operating faster.”
“Don’t worry about this. Just follow the original plan.”
Hearing this, the Blood Lords looked respectful, but they were puzzled. The sudden acceleration of the ancient blood array this time was not caused by their Spring Garden. If they did not find out the reason, what if it affected their plan?
However, the chief did not seem to care. It was very likely that he knew the
reason..
