Back then, she had entered the third level of the underground palace with Shen Ping. But now, she was only at the late-stage of the Divine Transformation Realm. Compared to Shen Ping’s Body Integration, the difference was too great.
Hence, what she meant was that she did not want to be immersed in love anymore.
Shen Ping was speechless. “But I’ll miss you. What should I do?”
Sex only lasted for a few months each time. Although this emotion would affect her mental state, he didn’t think it was a factor that affected Yin Ting’s cultivation.
Yin Ting didn’t say anything. It was only when Shen Ping had completely removed her purplish-green soft armor and was admiring the feathers that she agreed to Shen Ping’s request.
Next, the two of them immersed themselves in sex for dozens of days. Shen Ping felt the repulsive force in the underground palace. Even the mark of the strange beast could not suppress it. “I have to go. High-grade beast spiritual treasures will be born in the Heavenly Palace. Fellow Daoist Yin, wait. I’ll definitely snatch one for you!”
The reason why he could break through to the Body Integration realm so quickly was mainly because he could enter the Heaven Ascension Hall at any time. Advanced Beast Spirit Treasures would appear in the Heaven Ascension Hall every 20 years. In other words, he could obtain four on average every too years. The fifth was left for the Beast Spirit geniuses who entered the Heaven Ascension Hall to snatch.
He couldn’t give it to Yin Ting now. However, after arriving at the Heavenly Palace, these high-grade beast spirit treasures could be washed clean and taken out to be used.
Yin Ting could feel Shen Ping’s love for her. She bit her lip and said, “Don’t show off. The Heavenly Palace, even the lowest level of the Heavenly Palace, has prodigies. Every time a high-level beast spirit treasure is born, there will be prodigies fighting for it!”
Shen Ping chuckled. “Why? Are you worried about your husband?”
Yin Ting turned her head away. Although she had always called Shen Ping Fellow Daoist, she had long treated him as her Dao companion in her heart. However, she could not bear it in her heart. This was because when she came into contact with Shen Ping, it was a mission given to her by the clan at first. Even now, the clan had always asked her to maintain a relationship with Shen Ping, so she did not dare to admit it.
“Don’t worry. Sometimes, there’s no movement when a high-grade beast spirit treasure appears. Perhaps I’ll be lucky!” He kissed Yin Ting’s red lips very seriously. Then, he released the suppression of the strange beast mark and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yin Ting couldn’t help but feel lost. After so many years of wind and rain, she was already used to Shen Ping’s company. Now, they are separated. Although they were both in the Strange Beast Gate, there was a chasm between the third level of the underground palace and the first level of the Heavenly Palace. “Husband, I’ll definitely break through to the Body Integration realm as soon as possible!”
As soon as Shen Ping appeared on the first floor of the Heavenly Palace, he immediately sensed dense strange beast energy coming at him. This feeling was like the change in spiritual energy he had sensed when he arrived at Qingyang City from the Cloud Mountain Parlour. He sat cross-legged and cultivated for a while before estimating that his cultivation speed here was ten times faster than the third level of the underground palace.
However, the power of strange beasts needed to advance his Body Integration Realm was even greater. Therefore, from another perspective, the cultivation speed of the first level of the Heavenly Palace could only be said to be average. After activating his talent, Eye of Sea Beast, the vast environment of the first level of the Heavenly Palace appeared in front of him like a three-dimensional image. During this period, a large number of phantoms of Beast Spirit geniuses appeared.
“As expected of the Heavenly Palace. There are indeed many outstanding Beast Spirit geniuses. Competing with these geniuses is more interesting!”
On the third level of the underground palace, he could enter the top 20 on the Beast Spirit Ranking, but not on the first level of the Heavenly Palace. Even if he made rapid progress in the Beast Scripture now, it would be difficult for him to enter the top 20. However, Shen Ping still chose to break through to the Body Integration realm. Although he could obtain a Beast Pattern Golden Fruit every 500 years if he stayed on the third level of the underground palace, he would lose his motivation.
“The threshold of the prodigies of all races is different, but I roughly need to comprehend the level of the beast skin and comprehend the concept of the beast skin.”
Shen Ping pondered.
Beast Form, Beast Skin, Beast Bone, and Beast Blood. In this sixty-year period, he had barely comprehend the true Beast Skin level to the level of Hoof Claws. ’ He was still quite a distance away from the tail of the whip.
As for the concept, he had reached 90% of the beast form concept, while the beast skin was only 30%. This level was just enough to activate the second form of a high-level beast spirit treasure.
“If only I could enter the Realm Sea Palace again!”
The Realm Sea Palace’s help in comprehension was huge. Previously, his true Beast Form Concept was only 50%. However, after comprehending it once, it had increased to 80%. Now, after spending 60 years, it has only increased by one level. As for the beast skin, he had only comprehended 30%.
Although this comprehension speed was already very fast, not inferior to the comprehension of those prodigies in the time acceleration, Shen Ping was not very satisfied.
One step ahead, always ahead.
The strongest prodigy ranked at the top of the Beast Spirit Ranking had an extremely high level of comprehension to begin with. Furthermore, they had a few more opportunities to comprehend it. In that sixty-year period, their improvement would be even greater. In another four hundred years’, there would be a second Beast Spirit Ranking competition. They might continue to dominate the rankings.
If he wanted to rush to the front and even enter the top 20 on the first level of the Heavenly Palace to obtain the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit, this speed was not enough. However, Shen Ping had no other choice now. He could only rely on his Dao companion.
I can’t bite off more than I can chew. Compared to those strongest prodigies, I’m not just a little bit weaker. For the time being, I’ll target the threshold of ’ the prodigy level.”
The most important thing in cultivation was one’s mental state, and emotions would affect one’s mental state. Although Shen Ping wanted to surpass those prodigies, he also understood that haste makes waste. The more anxious he was, the worse it would be.
“Disciple, you’ve broken through to the Body Integration realm?”
At this moment, Lian Xuejin’s voice came from the resplendent crystal.
Shen Ping said respectfully, “Yes, Master.”
During this period of time, his master had been studying and cultivating the technique to obtain temporary authority over the Nine Continents Tower. She was at a critical moment, so he rarely took the initiative to contact her.
Lian Xuejin was silent for a moment before her gentle voice carried a hint of confusion. “Most Beast Spirit geniuses don’t improve fast. I’m very gratified that you can reach the Body Integration realm in such a short period of time. However, why are you in such a hurry to improve? You can enter the top 20 on the third level of the underground palace, but it’s very difficult to enter the Beast Spirit Ranking next time when you’re on the first level of the Heavenly Palace. At that time, you won’t be able to obtain the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit.”
Shen Ping recounted his thoughts.
Lian Xuejin sighed and said, “It’s a good thing to be ambitious. You have to do your best. The Beast Pattern Golden Fruit is very important to the race and to you. Furthermore, cultivation at the Void Refinement and Body Integration realm needs to be stabilized. You cultivate too quickly and it’s difficult for your mental state to keep up. It will inevitably affect you in the future.”
Shen Ping understood the meaning in his master’s words. He replied, “I will try my best to get into the top 20 of the first level of the Heavenly Palace!”
Lian Xuejin said faintly, “As far as I know, there are more than fifty Beast Spirit geniuses on the first level of the Heavenly Palace who have reached the level of beast bones’ hooves and claws. This doesn’t even include races like the Realm Race, the Stone Race, and the Skeleton Clan. Forget it. You’ve already broken through. It’s useless to say all this. I heard that your True Treasure Pavilion has been attacked by the alliance of various races. What’s the situation?”
Shen Ping said, “I’ve already settled it.”
“That’s good. There’s still more than four hundred years before the second Beast Spirit Ranking opens. There’s still hope. In addition, I’ve already grasped a trace of authority in the Nine Continents Tower. If you encounter any danger, you can enter the Nine Continents Tower.”
Shen Ping was delighted. “Master, can I return to the Nine Continents Tower?”
Lian Xuejin nodded, but she reminded, “Once you return to the Nine Continents Tower, the aura concealment of the resplendent crystal will disappear. The top immortal cultivators of the various races will be able to sense the exact location of the Nine Continents Tower. Therefore, unless it’s absolutely necessary, I won’t let you enter the Nine Continents Tower.”
Shen Ping’s lips twitched, but he still asked, “What about Wang Yun and Pei Huoyu?”
“They can.”
This made Shen Ping heave a sigh of relief. After all, the Nine Continents Tower was a treasure of the human race. It was even stronger than the high-grade beast spirit treasure, the Golden Pattern Hall. If it really reached a point where he could not deal with it, it would be best if his wife, concubines, and Dao companions could return.
He ended his communication with his master.
Shen Ping came back to his senses. There was probably a shadow of a race behind his master’s message this time. It was most likely for the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit. Otherwise, with his master’s situation, how could she accurately obtain information about the Beast Spirit geniuses of the various races on the first level of the Heavenly Palace?
“I hope it’s not the idea of a human Venerable Sovereign!”
He knew that there would definitely be people in the upper echelons of the immortal Dao who were dissatisfied that he wanted to deal with the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit alone. This time, he had borrowed his master’s mouth to beat him up..
