Different from Jing Yan, An Zhiyuan was mainly in charge of the guest elders and resources in the pavilion. At the same time, he kept in contact with the humans and the forces of the other races.
Shen Ping raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, “Body Integration cultivators? Who are they?”
With the foundation of the True Treasure Pavilion, they did not expect a Body Integration to join. An Zhiyuan replied, “It’s a secluded elder of the Ancient Moon Sect and an itinerant cultivator from Sword Seal City. They were all connected by Senior Luo Xia.”
Shen Ping came to a realization and sent a message to Fairy Luo Xia. After all, she was a Body Integration guest elder. He still had to meet her. In fact, after Fairy Luo Xia invited these two Body Integration experts into the True Treasure Pavilion, she had sent a message to Shen Ping.
The next day, he saw the two Body Integration experts.
“Greetings, Pavilion Master, I’m Yingu Shangren.”
“Greetings, Pavilion Master, I’m Han Chen.”
The two of them were not arrogant at all. Although Shen Ping was only a Void Refinement Realm cultivator, the master behind him was extremely powerful. He could even kill the Black Tiger King and was ranked in the top five in the entire Sword Seal City.
They exchanged a few simple pleasantries,
Yingu Shangren and Han Chen revealed their motives for joining the True Treasure Pavilion as guest elders. Firstly, they wanted to befriend Shen Ping’s master and ask for guidance. Secondly, they wanted to obtain the spiritual resources in the True Treasure Pavilion.
Shen Ping naturally rejected the former tactfully, while he agreed with the latter. However, it was also according to the guest procedure of the True Treasure Pavilion. Only by contributing could one enjoy buying precious resources.
The two Body Integration experts did not say anything. Before they came, Fairy Luo Xia had told them that as long as they stayed in the True Treasure Pavilion, there would always be a chance.
After they left, Fairy Luo Xia said in a low voice, “These two seniors have exhausted their cultivation potential. Even if they consume some spiritual treasures, it will be very difficult for them to break through to the Mahayana Realm. I invited them to join mainly to attract other Body Integration cultivators and outstanding Void Refinement Realm Fellow Daoists. Actually, if Pavilion Master’s master appears, I believe more Body Integration experts will join.”
The corners of Shen Ping’s mouth twitched. His master was still in the Nine Continents Tower. “Fellow Daoist Yue, the development of the True Treasure Pavilion is already very fast. In nearly a hundred years, it can catch up to the tens of thousands of years of foundation of the Cloud Sword Sect. There’s no hurry for the Body Integration Guest Elders.”
Fairy Luo Xia laughed, “If the Cloud Sword Sect also had resources like the True Treasure Pavilion’s medicinal pills, talismans, and other resources, the Cloud Sword Sect would have long become the number one sect in Sword Seal City.”
Although she was bound by the previous oath, Yue Lingluo had already treated herself as a part of the True Treasure Pavilion over the years and sincerely planned for the future of the True Treasure Pavilion.
Shen Ping was clear about this. He glanced at Fairy Luo Xia. Deep in his pupils, he could see the fair and moist skin under her dress and the scenery that made people yearn for. However, he did not have any distracting thoughts. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, “Fellow Daoist Yue, what has happened to the various races recently?”
Fairy Luo Xia naturally did not know that Shen Ping had seen through her most precious things. She shook her head and said, “There’s no movement. They should be waiting for the Mahayana Realm cultivators of the Penglai Immortal City to arrive. From the information obtained in the pavilion, the situation in the Penglai Immortal City is very chaotic. Although there are no Mahayana Realm experts who have died for the time being, five Body Integration cultivators have already died.”
Shen Ping was shocked. “The Devil Clan and the Spirit Clan have started to attack the Penglai Immortal City?”
If the skin does not exist, how can the fur attach to it?
The humans in the Penglai Immortal City were the stabilizing force of the various cities in the western district of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. If those Mahayana Realm, Tribulation Transcendence and Itinerant Immortal human cultivators died, the sects and families of the other cities would not be able to resist.
Fairy Luo Xia nodded and said solemnly, “This is also the main reason why I invited the seniors of the Body Integration to join our True Treasure Pavilion. The chaos in the Penglai Immortal City will definitely last for a long time. Once a terrible situation happens, our True Treasure Pavilion will have no choice but to consider our retreat in advance. With a Body Integration guest elder, it will be easier for us to retreat.”
Shen Ping thought about it carefully. “I’ll leave the matter of the Body Integration guest elder to Fellow Daoist Yue. If you need anything, you can discuss it with Jing Huilan. If it’s really important, look for my wife, Wang Yun.”
He had to prepare for the Beast Spirit Ranking with all his might and did not have the energy or time to deal with the True Treasure Pavilion.
In the core area of the Spiritual Race’s Immortal Dao.
Under the towering ancient tree, figures emitting vast auras floated and sat cross-legged. In front of them, more than 10,000 Beast Spirit geniuses stood respectfully.
“The Strange Beast Gate’s Beast Spirit Ranking is about to open. All of you are the most outstanding junior geniuses of our Spirit Clan. You must snatch the first place on this ranking and occupy enough rankings. Only then will your clan’s nurturing be in vain.”
A solemn voice sounded.
The Spirit Clan was a powerful race ranked second on the Myriad Spirit Ranking. Not only did the race have Immortal Venerable Beast Spirit geniuses, but there were also dozens of Beast Spirit geniuses who had reached the prodigy level. Such a foundation made them confident enough to fight for the Beast Spirit Ranking this time.
However, it was still relatively difficult to fight for first place.
“Yes, my ancestor!”
In the core territory of the Devil Clan, the Devil Clan’s Venerable Sovereign, whose body was as large as a star, looked at the tens of thousands of Beast Spirit geniuses in front of him and said with a voice that was like a thunderclap, “The opening of the Beast Spirit Ranking is a huge matter in the Strange Beast Gate. It’s also a huge matter for the myriad races. Back then, when the Myriad Spirit Ranking appeared, our Devil Clan took the opportunity to rise and jump to the top three of the myriad races. Therefore, you have to do your best in the Beast Spirit Ranking this time and fight for the top of the rankings. If anyone can rank in the top three, I will personally take them in as disciples!”
Whoosh.
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the tens of thousands of Beast Spirit geniuses were filled with excitement.
This was a Venerable Sovereign. A mighty expert who stood at the peak of the immortal Dao of all races. If he could be his disciple, one could imagine his future achievements.
Venerable Sovereigns of the Flame Race, the Winged Race, and the Demon Race rarely appeared to motivate the Beast Spirit geniuses of their race.
“Disciple, it hasn’t been long since you became a first-grade Beast Spirit genius. Furthermore, you’ve advanced due to special reasons. This time round, I won’t ask you to be on the Beast Spirit Ranking. However, your ranking can’t be too low. You have to at least enter the top ten thousand.” Yin Ting’s master said earnestly.
Although the progress of the Beast Spirit geniuses of the various races had always been kept a secret, they could still roughly determine one or two things. For example, there were more than a thousand first-grade geniuses in the top ten, let alone the number of second-grade geniuses.
After all, the number of cultivators in each race was very large. Even if the probability of producing a Beast Spirit genius was low, with a huge number of people, there were more Beast Spirit geniuses, especially in the powerful races that were spread out on the Myriad Spirit Ranking. The proportion of outstanding juniors among Beast Spirit geniuses far exceeded the other races. “Master, I’ll do my best!” Yin Ting replied seriously, but she was thinking about what Shen Ping should do this time. He had not even condensed the mark of the strange beast. He was probably going to fall far behind.
Misty Spirit Peak.
Compared to the motivational preparations of the various races, the upper echelons of the human Immortal Dao were much more silent. Everyone knew that there were only two human Beast Spirit geniuses at the moment. Not to mention Immortal Venerable Qi, that Genius Shen, who was still in the lower realm’s Abyss of Supreme Darkness, might not even be able to reach the bottom of the 10,000, let alone compete for the Beast Spirit Ranking this time. “Immortal Venerable Qi, how’s your research on the Beast Scripture recently?” The human Venerable Sovereign asked.
The other Immortal Venerables looked at Immortal Venerable Qi. As Immortal Venerables and with the treasure of time acceleration, they still had some expectations for Immortal Venerable Qi.
“Everyone, I’m afraid I’ve disappointed you. I’ve only comprehended the Beast Scripture to the level of a single horn. I’ve only comprehended 30% of the concept.” Immortal Venerable Qi said helplessly.
Without the help of a strange beast and without the bloodline talent, it was too difficult for him to comprehend and study. If not for the fact that he was an Immortal Venerable, he might not have reached this level even if he accelerated his cultivation in the treasure for tens of thousands of years.
The human Venerable Sovereign sighed, “No matter what, we have to do our best. Our human race is too inferior on the Myriad Spirit Ranking. If we fall too far behind on the Beast Spirit Ranking this time, our chances of rising will be slim..”
