Chapter 720: Secrets of the World (2)
Therefore, as long as those immortal kings, Immortal Venerables, and even Venerable Sovereign Beast Spirits were given time, they would definitely stand at the peak quickly.
Fortunately, Shen Ping had the talent of strange beasts, Devour. Otherwise, even if he had the advantage of memory, he might not have been able to reach the second level of the Star Platform so quickly.
“The prodigy who cultivates the fastest in the Imperial City is only at the third level of the Star Palace. He’s still far from the Star Platform. Even if I give them the blood pool, it will take nearly a hundred years to improve. However, I can’t be careless. I have to raise the other elements to the second level as soon as possible. I have to fuse all my bloodlines and gather them into the origin blood!”
In the past hundred years, other than improving, he spent most of his time studying how to gather all his bloodlines and forge his origin blood. However, it was too difficult to do so. Even if there was a method on the map displayed in the palace, it was still very difficult.
If Shen Ping was not wrong, the key might come from the blood pool. After all, fusing with the origin blood required a huge amount of energy. Only the blood pool could provide it.
“Sect Master!”
“Congratulations, Sect Master.”
After Chen Bin and Elder Yan received the news that Shen Ping had come out of seclusion, they quickly arrived at the headquarters. Their strength had increased quite fast in the past hundred years. For example, Elder Yan, who was originally at the Star Palace level, was already at the fourth level of the Star Palace. Chen Bin had even broken through to the second level of the Star Palace.
Shen Ping nodded and casually asked about the recent years.
Chen Bin immediately reported, “There have been two new Star Platforms in the Imperial City and the Sea Area in recent years. In addition, three ancient experts have already awakened in the Black Abyss that you asked to pay special attention to. Among them is the ancestor of the Imperial City. The other two are the Black Dragon Demon Emperor worshiped by the Black Dragon Cult and one of the Sea Demon Ancestors. They are all for the blood pool.” He paused for a moment. “Forgive me for being useless. I still haven’t found any clues about the blood pool.”
There were many emperor-level cultivators sleeping in the Black Abyss. They were all accumulated over countless years. This world was not like the Xianxia world where people with bloodlines could enjoy a long lifespan. Even at the emperor-level, they could only live for a thousand years. Therefore, as long as they reached the emperor-level or were close to the emperor-level, they would go to the Black Abyss to sleep when their lifespan was about to end.
This was because there was a special energy enveloping the Black Abyss that could greatly slow down the lifespan of Star Platform experts. No one knew how many ancient experts were sleeping in the Black Abyss. Some even guessed that the peak expert who had once been peerless was also sleeping there.
“Blood pool…” Shen Ping frowned. Although he knew that it was definitely very difficult to discover an incomparably rare resource like the blood pool, he could not help but doubt Chen Bin’s ability. He was completely lucky in Jinzhou. But under the continuous development of the Lizard Sect, there were still no clues for a hundred years.
Elder Yan noticed Shen Ping’s expression and hurriedly said, “Sect Master, I did find a clue.”
Chen Bin was expressionless.
Shen Ping looked at Elder Yan. “Tell me.”
“The Sect Master once said that the blood pool can allow ordinary demons to advance to the Star Rank and the Star Palace in a very short period of time. I specially collected information about those rapid advancements in a short period of time. If it’s only in this aspect, I’m afraid I won’t have any gains like Brother Chen. Therefore, apart from that, I also sent people to the Great Xia Dynasty and the forbidden lands of the surrounding countries.”
As Elder Yan spoke, he laughed. “After this search, we really found a few Star Palace realm demons in a misty mountain range in the Qu Nation. However, these demons are entrenched in the depths and have never left the mountain range.”
Chen Bin was secretly vexed when he heard that. Why didn’t he think in that direction? He only sent people to collect information, but he forgot about the forbidden land.
“Not bad. Arrange for a trip to the Qu Nation in a few days. If there’s really a blood pool, you’ll be rewarded.” Shen Ping said calmly.
Elder Yan hurriedly said happily, “Thank you, Sect Master.
Next, Chen Bing talked about Jizhou City. In fact, he had been mainly helping Nangong Yao deal with the safety of Jizhou over the years. Naturally, he was slightly inferior in terms of the Blood Pool.
Shen Ping had also guessed this, so he did not criticize him.
“In that case, I’ll go to Jianzhou and Yunzhou to see the strength of these two Star Platforms.”
With that, his figure disappeared. A few days later, Shen Ping looked at the heavily injured black flood dragon in front of him. “You overestimate yourself. Since you know that the Lizard Sect is behind Jizhou City and still want to annex it, your guts are really stronger than your strength.
The black flood dragon roared, “I’m an elder of the Black Dragon Sect. Now that the Black Dragon Sect has the attributes of a Demon Emperor, we’ll unify the world sooner or later. A mere Lizard Sect can be destroyed with a flick of my finger!”
Boom.
Soon, the black flood dragon turned into a Star Platform Blood Bead. Although the other party was not at the second level of the Star Platform, his physical body was comparable to the second level of the Star Platform. He was even stronger than the previous Sect Master of the Black Dragon Cult. Coupled with the attributes of the Black Dragon Cult’s Demon Emperor, it gave him enough courage.
After dealing with the black flood dragon, he immediately went to Yunzhou. However, as soon as he arrived at the Yunzhou City, the head of the rebel leader was personally taken by the Star Platform expert behind him. “This fellow took advantage of my seclusion and became ambitious. It’s my fault for not disciplining him well. Sect Master Shen, please calm down.”
It had to be said that his attitude was very sincere. Unfortunately, Shen Ping did not fall for it. An hour later, this Star Platform expert turned into a drop of blood. Half a month later, Jianzhou and Yunzhou became Jizhou’s territory and were occupied by the Lizard Sect.
Just as Shen Ping was about to go to the Qu Nation to check on the Misty Mountains, Chen Bin sent good news. He had discovered a place suspected to be the birth of a blood pool in Jianzhou.
He immediately rushed over with Chen Bin.
“It’s really a blood pool.”
This surprised and delighted Shen Ping. He hurriedly asked for the exact situation.
Chen Bin said, “Speaking of which, it’s considered luck. When I brought my subordinates to take over the county city, I sent someone to the nearby mountain range to check on the situation of the demons so as to get nd of them and evil hidden dangers after taking over the county city. In the end, I discovered this blood pool. I’ve specially asked the nearby villagers, but no one knows where the blood pool is. There was no blood pool here in the past.” Shen Ping couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. “In that case, the blood pool was just born?”
“Yes, Sect Master.”
As soon as he occupied Yunzhou and Jianzhou, a blood pool was born. He felt that there must be some connection between the two. “Could it be that the blood pool is related to the world or territory? But if it’s related, then why didn’t the royal ancestor of the Great Xia Dynasty suppress the rebellion after waking up?”
Shen Ping was not confident either. He could only instruct, “Chen Bin, deal with the affairs of the three prefectures first. The main thing is to choose the able and capable to form our Jizhou’s army!”
Chen Bin was stunned for a moment before he understood. “Yes, Sect Master.
