Apart from that, there were also natural treasures in the underground palace. This made Shen Ping excited and even danced with joy. What was most precious in the underground palace?
It was naturally a high-grade beast spirit treasure. However, such a treasure only appeared once every hundred years. Moreover, it had to go through layers of danger and needed to be powerful. It could be said to be a combination of luck and strength. Other than high-grade beast spirit treasures, it was a natural treasure.
For example, when he first met Yin Ting, the spirit fruit that the demon cultivator asked for was one of them. Obtaining such a spiritual fruit mainly depended on luck. He might even bump into them while walking. However, luck was often illusory. Shen Ping had been in the underground palace for a long time, but he had yet to encounter a special spiritual fruit.
It was different now.
With the Eye of Sea Beast around, the various spiritual fruits in the underground palace could not hide from him.
Phew.
Ha.
He took more than ten deep breaths. Shen Ping suppressed the joy in his heart. He was not in a hurry to find the spiritual fruit. Instead, he continued to look at the virtual interface. After waiting for an hour and recovering a little, he activated his talent again—Teleportation.
Whoosh.
As the strange beast blood in his body boiled, his skin gradually turned sky-blue. At the same time, an indescribable relaxed feeling surged into his heart. The omnipresent energy in the surrounding space enveloped him at this moment. Every inch of his skin, blood, and even the strange beast power in the depths of his body were excited.
It was as if space was water and he had become a fish.
Swoosh.
With a thought, he instantly flashed 1,000 feet away along the space. When he flew, the obstruction and pressure of the entire space he felt the previous time had become a push.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Shen Ping was like a child who had just obtained a new toy. He kept flashing, and every time he flashed, he got further and further away. More than ten breaths later, the green skin gradually returned to its original state. The relaxed feeling of jumping around like a fish in the sea immediately disappeared.
“The furthest I can teleport is tens of thousands of feet. I can last for more than ten breaths. It’s enough for me to escape and save my life! Right, let’s try the talent enhancement again!” Shen Ping patted his head and recalled the extraordinary beast talent he had obtained when he clapped with Yu Qingling. Although Yu Qingling’s physique had yet to transform, it was still one of the ten special physiques.
He opened the virtual interface again. The talent enhancement on it was still quite a bit away from transforming. This talent could increase his strength by a level.
“There’s no hurry. I’ll try again tomorrow.” He pondered in his heart. Currently, he did not feel any side effects from activating his talent, but he did not dare to be careless. Hence, he waited until the next day to activate the Talent Enhancement.
Psst.
The blood of the strange beasts in his body boiled. His muscles and bones become denser at a speed visible to the naked eye. The dark golden energy swirling around his dantian also quickly compressed.
At this moment, Shen Ping gritted his teeth and activated the Eye of Sea Beast talent again.
Boom!
The blood of the strange beast instantly burned and gathered crazily in his eyes. In the blink of an eye, his pupils turned red, and the blood vessels were even more demonic. Waves of red light spread from his eyes in ripples, forming red light patterns.
And in front of his eyes, the ground of the entire space became transparent, and the vast underground palace became extremely small. However, the difference was that this time, he seemed to have seen the depths of the space.
“W-what’s that?”
The core wrapped in layers of energy was shrouded in fog in distant space. Shen Ping wanted to see more clearly. The frequency of the red patterns spreading in his pupils was even faster. His eyes pierced through the fog and immediately saw a palace.
Whoosh.
His skin was about to burn. Just as he was about to reach his limit, his pupils immediately returned to black.
Phew.
Phew.
He panted heavily and felt a burning sensation in his body. Without thinking, he immediately sat down cross-legged and took out the strange stone to absorb and circulate it. Twenty minutes later, the burning slowly subsided. However, the shadow of the palace in Shen Ping’s mind was still lingering. “The palace in the underground palace… Could it be the Heaven Ascension Hall?!”
The Heaven Ascension Hall appeared once every hundred years, and there was still a long time before the Heaven Ascension Hall appeared on the third level of the underground palace. If the Heaven Ascension Hall was really in the fog, if he could enter…
He could no longer get rid of that thought.
“Teleportation is a spatial talent, but not only is the palace shrouded in fog, but it’s also located in the depths of space and is isolated by the materials of the palace.” Shen Ping felt that he was a little obsessed. There were many geniuses with strange talents in the world. If they could enter the Heaven Ascension Hall in advance, there would definitely be geniuses who had tried.
He forcefully suppressed this thought. He continued to recover. After dozens of days, he did not activate his talent again. The burning sensation when he reached his limit last time almost felt like death. He did not dare to activate his talent casually.
However, the thought of the Heaven Ascension Hall was still in his heart.
On this day, Shen Ping, who felt that he had recovered enough, hesitated for a moment and activated his enhancement talent again. This time, after the enhancement, the blood of the strange beast in his body instantly burned. His skin turned dark green in the blink of an eye. He quickly noticed that there were layers of changes in the space, like transparent crystals, one after another.
Even so, Shen Ping could not see the fog in the depths of space. He gritted his teeth. He was going all out. With a thought, the third talent was activated!
Boom! The demonic red color of his pupils spread out with red patterns, rippling in circles. Mist immediately appeared in the layers of space in front of him. In the core of the fog was a palace.
At this moment, Shen Ping felt like his entire body was about to burn. His bones were burning.
Teleportation! He did not dare to hesitate. He stared at the palace in the fog and a thought appeared. His body suddenly disappeared from the spot. Under the cover of the dark green skin, the obstruction of space seemed to be completely transparent. Even the fog could not stop it. On second thought, it was as if a long time had passed.
Shen Ping seemed to have been squeezed out of space and suddenly smashed into the ground of the metal room. He looked as red as flames, and even the air was faintly distorted. He sat cross-legged with difficulty. He took out the strange stone and circulated his cultivation technique.
The withered energy of the strange beast in his dantian condensed bit by bit. After an unknown period of time, his burning skin gradually recovered. He opened his eyes. He heaved a heavy sigh of relief.
That was close.
After activating three strange beast talents at once, he felt as if his body had been completely emptied. If not for his powerful will and perseverance, he would not have been able to last. But fortunately, he really came in!
He meditated for a few more hours. Only then did Shen Ping get up and size up his surroundings. He looked at the metal room. The color in his eyes gradually became excited. He had entered the Heaven Ascension Hall twice. He would never forget this special metal.
“Haha, the Heaven Ascension Hall! This is the Heaven Ascension Hall!” He was extremely excited. He knew very well what it meant to be able to enter the Heaven Ascension Hall in advance. More importantly, if he could teleport in, he would definitely be able to pass through the dangerous place and reach the metal room at the end with a high-level beast spirit treasure!
“Calm down, calm down. Isn’t it just a high-grade beast spirit treasure?!” Shen Ping smiled happily. The preciousness of a high-grade Beast Spirit Treasure was obvious. Even a second-grade Beast Spirit genius like Yin Ting did not have one. The reason why the Beast Spirit geniuses of the various races had joined forces to find him was not only because of the pressure from the higher-ups, but also mainly because of the temptation of a high-grade Beast Spirit Treasure.
After all, he had obtained two! Although he could only activate one with his current strength and cultivation and was not in its true form, no one would mind having too many of these things.
Next, Shen Ping continued to rest in the metal room. In any case, he had already entered the Heaven Ascension Hall. He was not in a hurry at all. So he stayed for another month. The metal room did not change at all, and the secret compartment did not appear.
He did not care. As long as he could teleport to the room at the end and obtain a high-level beast spirit treasure, it was enough.
“After recovering for so long, it should be able to last. Moreover, there’s no need to activate the three talents. However, I have to see if there are any high-level beast spirit treasures first.” Shen Ping looked at the metal room and first activated the Eye of Sea Beast.
Instantly, the mutated red pupil passed through the layers of metal rooms and clearly saw a metal room with a floating jade box at the end of the distance.
“There’s indeed a high-grade beast spirit treasure!”
