Translator: Henyee Translations I Editor: Henyee Translations
Another ten days passed.
In front of the ice lake, more than 70 cultivators from various races were gathered. There was no lack of mid to late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. The lowest was a Golden Core Daoist like Shen Ping and An Yue. As for Foundation Establishment cultivators, there were none at all. After all, it was very difficult for Foundation Establishment cultivators to survive in such a terrible cultivation place like the edge of the black fog.
Splash.
As the auras of a large number of cultivators vibrated, the ice-cold mist on the surface of the lake swept in all directions, and then waves of vortexes formed in the lake. In the center of the vortex, several creatures that looked like ice sculptures slowly appeared. They were the Ice Race cultivators who occupied this place.
When they saw Shen Ping and the other cultivators, the five Ice Race cultivators were not nervous at all. The leader glanced at them indifferently and a strange cold aura enveloped the surroundings.
Seeing that there were no Divine Transformation cultivators, the leader of the
Ice Race said arrogantly, “As usual, 50,000 spirit stones!”
There was a small caravan among the cultivators gathered by Shen Pings side. Although there were only more than ten cultivators, the other cultivators still handed the fee for this trip to the leader. After calculating, each cultivator only needed to pay 700 spirit stones. Even though there was a lack of spirit stones here, they could easily take it out for Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators. After paying, the leader of the Ice Clan revealed a faint smile. He waved his hand, and the cold fog that covered the entire ice lake instantly dissipated. Clearly, he had removed the array.
Shen Ping heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not barge in rashly. Otherwise, if he was restrained by the array, he might not have been able to pass even with the Talisman Beast Diagram.
Swish, swish.
At this moment, a large number of cultivators quickly crossed the ice lake on their magic treasures. When they passed it safely, An Yue and the other cultivators revealed relaxed expressions. “Senior Shen, our luck this time is not bad.”
Ice Race cultivators were greedy. It was common for them to ask for a second fee. Sometimes, they would even covet the entire team. Of course, such situations were rare.
Shen Ping nodded and thought to himself that it seemed like he did not have any unlucky talent. It was impossible for him to encounter the worst unexpected situation every time he passed. “Fellow Daoist An, the next journey to Black Fiend Valley should not be too dangerous, right?
An Yue smiled and said, “That’s right. We’ll reach Black Fiend Valley in three days.”
“In that case, let’s continue on our way!”
Swoosh.
The purple light quickly disappeared into the horizon.
Black Fiend Valley was the same as the ice lake. It was a special area at the edge of the black fog. This place was shrouded in a baleful aura that could corrode a cultivator’s dantian, meridians, and divine sense all year round. However, it was precisely because of this baleful aura that this place became prosperous and lively, becoming a place for cultivators of various races to adventure. “Senior Shen, there’s a Black Fiend Ancient Tree growing in the center of the Black Fiend Valley’s baleful aura. This ancient tree bears fruit every hundred years. The fruit contains pure baleful aura. To cultivators, not only is this pure baleful aura harmless, but it can also significantly increase the meridians of the cultivator’s body. Apart from that, it can also increase the strength of their divine sense.”
Shen Ping was enlightened. No wonder Black Fiend Valley could gather a large number of cultivators from various races. In fact, improving the body and meridians was to increase the total amount of magic power in one’s body. This was a resource that every cultivator urgently needed.
Cultivators fought. The factors that determined victory and defeat were mainly magic power, divine sense, magic treasures, divine powers, and so on. Among them, magic power was the foundation. Without a huge amount of magic power to support it, it was difficult to use other methods. Especially when controlling magic treasures and spell techniques, it consumed the most magic power.
For example, the essence of the blood of the strange beast could subtly improve and improve his meridians. His total magic power was more than ten times that of ordinary Golden Cores of the same level. Moreover, because he was a Beast Pattern Golden Core, its purity far exceeded other cultivators. If An Yue fought him, it would be equivalent to her wearing wooden armor and fighting Shen Ping, who had an alloy armor.
The streak of light stopped at the entrance of Black Fiend Valley.
Shen Ping said indifferently, “Fellow Daoist An, I said earlier that I would let you go as long as we arrived at Black Fiend Valley. Now that we’ve already arrived at Black Fiend Valley, we’re even! Farewell!” Then he stepped into the entrance first.
An Yue did not react for a moment. It was only when the broad figure in front of her disappeared that she was stunned. She could not believe that she would escape so easily. She had been discussing with her sister how to leave Shen Ping’s side safely, but all the methods she had expected were useless.
“Shen…” Her lips parted slightly, but An Yue still did not shout.
Two days later, Black Fiend Valley, An Residence. Her sister, An Zhi, asked about the details of the process a few times, but she still could not believe that her sister would return to the An residence safely.
“Sister now, you should believe what I said before, right? Senior Shen is really a different cultivator. He’s powerful and has a good character…” An Yue said a lot of things.
An Zhi could not help but sigh. “Sister, I admit that 1 was wrong this time. It’s really rare to see such a kind cultivator at the edge of the Black Mist Direlands. Her eyes suddenly lit up. “It’s our fortune to meet such a cultivator. Sister, do you know where this Senior Shen lives?
An Yue shook her head. “I don’t know.”
“Do you have his communication talisman?”
“No!”
“This… Black Fiend Valley is neither small nor big. This Senior Shen should be staying in an inn. With our An family’s strength, we will definitely be able to find him.”
Huitong Inn.
This was established by Huitong’s caravan and was mainly used by the caravan to rest. In fact, more than 70% of the caravans in Black Fiend Valley had their own inn.
In the quiet room, Shen Ping set up an isolation and alert array formation and pasted a few Six Shield Talismans on his body. Then, he sat cross-legged on the soft cushion and calmly emptied his spirit platform. He immediately used the cultivation method of the Beast Control Heavenly Scripture to carefully sense the door of the strange beast.
Buzz-
As the Wisp of reddish-gold magic power in his dantian circulated through his meridians, his consciousness seemed to vaguely sense a vague summoning. This summoning was very weak at first, but as time passed, the summoning became stronger and stronger.
Even Shen Ping heard a call that seemed to come from the depths of his soul. He subconsciously wanted to open his eyes. However, he realized that no matter how hard he tried, he could not open his eyes.
The white jade tower in the dazzling crystal body suddenly released a purple light and instantly condensed into a purple door. There were all kinds of strange beasts at the edge of the door. They were roaring, lying down, or fighting… The moment the door appeared, a powerful suction force surged out. Shen Ping was completely sucked in before he could react.
At the same time, the humans who were almost at the end of the Myriad Spirit Ranking suddenly soared at a visible speed. They only slowly stopped after advancing a hundred ranks. The members of the various races who were staring at the rankings noticed this situation almost at the same time.
The news quickly spread.
For a moment, all the races were shocked!
