Chapter 514 - 514: Pursuit (1)
The three Tribulation Transcendence cultivators looked at each other. Then, Daoist Gui Hai said bluntly, “Fellow Daoist Xu, with your early-stage Mahayana Realm cultivation, you should have relied on an immortal artifact to easily kill a mid-stage Mahayana Realm foreign race, right?” Before Shen Ping could speak, he continued, “We’ve all investigated the battlefield. The power there can only be achieved by immortal artifacts.”
Shen Ping was originally thinking about how to explain his strength, but now, he nodded and said, “That’s right. The three seniors have a unique vision. I indeed have an immortal artifact.”
The three Tribulation Transcendence cultivators immediately smiled. Daoist Gui Hai continued, “I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xu obtained this immortal artifact by chance or was it bestowed by an Itinerant Immortal?”
Shen Ping said casually, “I was lucky to obtain it from an immortal abode.”
The smile on Daoist Gui Hai’s face widened. “It’s like this. The situation in the Penglai Immortal City is unstable. Our human race and the foreign races are already at a state of incompatibility. The immortal artifact is extremely powerful. It’s very difficult for a Mahayana Realm cultivator to unleash it. If it can be controlled and activated by the senior Itinerant Immortal of our race, I believe we can definitely unleash the true power of this immortal artifact. We might even be able to destroy the foreign forces in the Penglai Immortal City in one go.”
Shen Ping was stunned. He did not expect these three human seniors to ask to see him about such a thing. “Senior, are you asking me to hand over the immortal artifact?”
Daoist Gui Hai shook his head. “It’s not to hand it over, but to temporarily lend it to the Itinerant Immortal senior of the Penglai Immortal City. When the foreign race problem is completely resolved, it will naturally be returned to you!”
Shen Ping could not help but smile. His smile was a little cold. He really did not expect Gui Hai, as a Tribulation Transcendence senior, to be so shameless. Indeed, the years of cultivation had nothing to do with character. Even if it was tens of thousands of years, the evil in his bones would not change.
He said that he wanted to borrow it. Actually, it was a blatant robbery.
“Senior Gui Hai, don’t joke around. This is my immortal artifact. How can I casually lend it to others? If I want to borrow Senior Gui Hai’s life, will you lend it to me?”
The other party was shameless. Naturally, he would not give them any face.
The other two Tribulation Transcendence cultivators immediately berated, “Fellow Daoist Xu, watch your attitude. How can you be so rude to Fellow Daoist Gui Hai?”
Daoist Gui Hai waved his hand and stared at Shen Ping. He said in a gentle tone, “I know this might be a little difficult to accept, but Fellow Daoist Xu, you have to consider the big picture. If the human faction in the Penglai Immortal City collapses, the True Treasure Pavilion established by your disciple will also completely collapse. Although you killed the mid-stage Mahayana Realm experts of the various races this time, the reason why the various races did not continue is mainly because they are afraid of the human seniors of the Penglai Immortal City. No eggs are intact when the nest is overturned. You have to think twice!”
Shen Ping chuckled. He admitted that the reason why the True Treasure Pavilion could survive this crisis was indeed because of the seniors of the human race in the Penglai Immortal City. However, Daoist Gui Hai was really thinking too much if he wanted to use the overall situation to suppress him.
After all, the True Treasure Pavilion was originally established to be on guard in advance. Now that the True Treasure Pavilion was growing stronger day by day, there were some things that he could not ignore. However, he would definitely not compromise for the sake of the True Treasure Pavilion.
“Senior Gui Hai, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave!”
With that, he stood up.
Daoist Gui Hai’s face darkened. “Fellow Daoist Xu, do you really not care about the big picture? It’s just a temporary loan. I swear on my dignity that I will return it to you in the future!”
The premise was that Shen Ping was alive. The other two Tribulation Transcendence cultivators knew in their hearts that as long as they could obtain the immortal artifact, they would find an opportunity to kill Fellow Daoist Xu later.
Shen Ping ignored Daoist Gui Hai and activated his magic power. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a beam of light and disappeared.
In the stone pavilion, Daoist Gui Hai and the other two Tribulation Transcendence cultivators only frowned and did not have much of a reaction. This was because no one would agree to this directly. Those who could cultivate to the Mahayana Realm had long understood themselves. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not suffer.
“Fellow Daoist Gui Hai, are we really going to inform those foreign races?”
The other two Tribulation Transcendence cultivators were a little hesitant.
Daoist Gui Hai said indifferently, “How can the commotion of the three of us hide from the foreign races? The Spirit Clan and the Devil Clan are all watching. Moreover, I checked just now. Fellow Daoist Xu didn’t deliberately set up a soundproof array. The array I casually set up can’t block those fellows’ probing.”
The other two Tribulation Transcendence cultivators smiled, “Fellow Daoist Gui Hai, you’ve thought it through. If Fellow Daoist Xu is intercepted now, he can’t blame us.”
Daoist Gui Hai narrowed his eyes. “That’s right. We’re going to provide support. As for whether we can save Fellow Daoist Xu in time, that will depend on his luck!”
Shen Ping’s expression was calm. He had indeed not expected what happened today. It was mainly because his cultivation had been too smooth. After becoming a special-class guest elder at Cloud Mountain Parlour, he rarely faced such a threat directly. Most of the cultivation seniors he met looked at the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion and gave him a certain degree of respect. Even until now, he had rarely encountered such a thing.
Moreover, the human race was in a bad situation. Although there was friction between cultivators, it was restricted to a certain range because they had a common enemy. Even he himself thought so.
But this was the first time he had personally witnessed the evilness of cultivators.. He originally thought that the three Tribulation Transcendence experts were here to rope him in, but in the end, they actually wanted to “borrow” immortal artifacts!
