BXBX NOVEL Chapter 486 - 486: Little Hope (1)
Shen Ping ended his conversation with his master. He was rather excited. He did not expect the Strange Beast Gate to open another ranking, and it was the Beast Spirit Ranking. Although he did not know the rules, since it was similar to the Trial Tower of the True Treasure Pavilion, this was his chance.
After all, his greatest advantage was that he could quickly comprehend the Beast Scripture through the Life Divine Talisman and the Life Divine Puppet. In terms of strength, he was indeed inferior to the prodigies of the various races. He might not even win against a first-grade Beast Spirit genius. However, if he tested the concept and might of the strange beast at the same cultivation realm, he believed that he was not afraid of anyone.
Even if the prodigies of the various races far exceeded him in this aspect, as long as he was given time, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed them!
“Now, I’ve already comprehended the entire Beast Scripture’s beast form. However, I’ve only grasped a trace of the concept, not even 10%. Compared to a second-grade genius like Yin Ting who has comprehended 30% of the concept of the beast skin, the difference is still very big. But I have a Talisman Dao Mystique, and my true strength is stronger than Yin Ting. There are still ten years before the Beast Spirit Ranking is about to open. I have to try my best to grasp at least 30% of the concept of the true beast form.”
Beast Form, Beast Skin, Beast Bones, and Beast Blood were the four major levels of comprehension of the Beast Scripture. The power of each level had a huge transformation. There were also scale patterns, single horns, hoof claws, and whip tails. The beast spirit geniuses of various races could rely on their strange beast bloodline to directly comprehend the might and concept of strange beasts. However, the human race could not do so. Their innate bloodline was thin and they could not comprehend it at all. That was why the human race had created the Beast Scripture. They had evolved the concept and might of strange beasts into immortal arts, allowing the human race to comprehend it more easily.
But until now, no one in the five continents and four seas had truly comprehended a technique to the limit of beast blood. Naturally, no one could sense the power of the strange beast and enter the Strange Beast Gate.
If Shen Ping had not appeared, not to mention seeing hope of rising in the future, the human race would probably continue to decline until they completely withdrew from the stage of the myriad races and became a vassal of other races.
Therefore, when the Beast Spirit Ranking was about to appear, the upper echelons of the human Immortal Dao, including Lian Xuejin, were actually not optimistic about Shen Ping competing for the rankings. However, he still wanted to work hard.
Therefore, in the following period of time, other than the family banquet every ten days and the sex at night, he focused all his energy on comprehending the Beast Scripture. With the help of the Life Divine Talisman and the Life Divine Puppet, his progress was extremely fast.
It only took two years for him to comprehend 4.0% of the concept of the beast form, surpassing a second-grade Beast Spirit genius like Yin Ting. If the prodigies of the various races found out, they would probably be so frightened that they would not be able to sleep.
However, when he continued to study and comprehend, Shen Ping felt the difficulty. It took him four years to increase it by 10%. At this moment, he realized that the reason why he was so fast was because of the foundation of the Talisman Beast Scripture. Now, this speed was normal.
After estimating that it would be very difficult to increase his concept realm in a short period of time, he turned to comprehend and study the beast skin of the Beast Scripture. However, because he was a human, he could only continue to study the Talisman Beast Scripture.
In terms of concept, it was difficult. However, when he studied the scale patterns, single horn, hoof claws, and whip tail of the Talisman Beast Scripture, his speed could simply be described as a thousand miles a day.
It was extremely difficult for other geniuses to comprehend the diagram, but it was not a problem for Shen Ping. After the third Life Divine Talisman was fused, not only was the talisman scripture strange beast in his mind perfect, but it had already evolved to the level of a beast skin and was evolving in the direction of a beast bone.
Through comprehending the strange beast from the Talisman Scripture, it was equivalent to sitting in front of the strange beast every day. Therefore, in less than three years, he had completely comprehend the level of the beast skin. Although he could not comprehend the concept of the beast skin, such progress was already very satisfactory to Shen Ping.
“There’s still more than a year to go until the Beast Spirit Ranking. During this period of time, I’ll strive to comprehend the beast skin concept of the Talisman Beast Scripture!”
In the talisman room, Shen Ping looked at the unstable and complete beast skin talisman. His expression was calm.
The power of talismans at this level far exceeded that of beast-form talismans. They just lacked the concept, so their power was greatly reduced. To be honest, they were only slightly stronger than true beast-form talismans.
He walked out of the talisman room. He went to the pavilion by the lake and habitually called An Zhiyuan and Jing Yan over to ask them about the recent development of the True Treasure Pavilion. In the past few years, he had been cultivating with all his might and rarely asked about these things.
The first to report was Jing Yan. As Jing Huilan’s elder brother, his spiritual root aptitude was much better. Although he had been busy with the True Treasure Pavilion for the past few years, his cultivation level had not fallen behind with the provision of a large number of spiritual treasures and medicinal pills. Instead, he was higher than Jing Huilan and the An sisters. He was already a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
“Pavilion Master, the branch pavilions of the True Treasure Pavilion have already covered 38 gathering places in the 12 cities and more than 120 markets. There are more than 500 core members in the pavilion, more than 12,400 peripheral members, and 232 guest elders. The number of large flying ships has increased to 400. The caravan has 30 main teams and more than 100 vice teams!”
Jing Yan was familiar with the data. As he listened to the report, Shen Ping nodded from time to time. There seemed to be a lot of them, but in fact, they were only slightly stronger than the Cloud Sword Sect in Sword Seal City.
After his report, An Zhiyuan went forward and said, “Pavilion Master, we’ve listened to your instructions and increased our requirements for the cultivation and strength of guest elders in recent years. Moreover, we’ve also canceled many guest elders who were just there to make up the numbers. Therefore, there are fewer guest elders. Among them, there are two at the Body Integration realm, 15 at the Void Refinement realm, and 73 at the Divine Transformation realm whose combat strength is comparable to the late-stage or even the Perfected Divine Transformation realm..”
