Chapter 840: The Last Level of the Demon Mountain (2)
Yet there were so many Great Dao treasures in the Demon Mountain palace. It was clearly abnormal.
“The antiquity times were different from ours. At that time, it might have been easier to find the materials for the Great Dao treasure,” she guessed.
Refining Great Dao treasures was very difficult. Immortal Venerables who were best at refining treasures could not refine them even with the help of Venerable Sovereigns. Most Great Dao treasures originated from the Realm Sea.
During their interaction, the Immortal Venerables of the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, the Flame Race, and the others had discussed and joined forces to enter the first palace. Even Immortal Venerables like Gui Shu and Hei Shan were among them. Immortal Venerable Maji knew that he had angered the humans, so he chose to join the foreign races.
Even if he knew that joining the alien races would make him a cannon fodder, he had no other choice.
“Let’s follow behind these foreign races. Haha, we’ll enter together after they get rid of the mutated beasts!” Immortal Venerable Nanji smiled.
The other Immortal Venerables of the human race laughed as well. They sighed with emotion in their hearts. Shen Ping was really a blessing for the human race.
After knowing that the foreign races’ Immortal Venerables had begun to barge into the palace, Shen Ping could not be bothered to continue nurturing the Great Dao treasure in the corridor. He continued to enter the second palace. Just like before, he used the Heavenly Star Armor to block the instantaneous attack and disguised himself as a mutated beast. This move was very useful.
The second, third… all the way to the tenth palace, there was no problem. And so, he passed the second stage. In front of him was no longer a dazzling palace, but a silent valley. At the end of the valley was an ancient wooden building.
“Is this the last level of the Mountain?”
Delight appeared on his face. No one knew how many levels there were on the Demon Mountain. However, judging from the current situation, this valley looked like a medicinal garden. As for the wooden house, it should be the owner of this place.
But it would be difficult to get there safely.
In the ninth and tenth palaces, there were already mutated beasts that could unleash the power of the complete Heaven and Earth Great Dao. Even if a Venerable Sovereign came, he would have to deal with them with all his might. Fortunately, his Heavenly Star Armor was powerful enough. Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand the first round of mutated beast attacks.
Therefore, the danger of the fifth level was very likely that even a Venerable Sovereign would die.
Shen Ping did not mind. Through Immortal Venerable Nanji, he already knew that the foreign race’s Immortal Venerables were still in the third palace corridor. The mutated beasts in the palace behind were getting stronger and stronger, so it would naturally take longer and longer to pass through. In the end, it was unknown if they could come out alive.
He sat down cross-legged and began counting his gains from the Demon Mountain.
First, there was the golden liquid. There were a total of 78 drops that could allow 78 immortals to break through to the Immortal Venerable realm. Second, there were low-grade Great Dao treasures. Among them, there were three auxiliary-type treasures, two offensive-type treasures, one binding-type treasure and four defensive-type treasures.
Lastly, there were low-grade Great Dao treasures and medium-grade Great Dao treasures.
“Six low-grade items and four mid-grade items! Judging from the information and power emitted by the Great Dao supreme treasure, the mid-grade Great Dao supreme treasure should be on the same level as the Heavenly Star Armor.”
Shen Ping pondered. He did not know what level the Nine Continents Tower and the Heavenly Star Armor were at, but through comparison, the level of the Nine Continents Tower was not low. Moreover, it was a palace-type Great Dao treasure. Its defense was definitely equivalent to a high-grade Great Dao treasure.
The Heavenly Star Armor was purely defensive armor and was considered a mid-grade armor. It could be said that if those Immortal Venerables who broke into the palace had a Great Dao treasure like the Heavenly Star Armor, it would not be a problem for them to join forces and break through to the ninth and tenth palaces.
“After this demon mountain, the various clans in the immortal dao territory might be competing in terms of the number and grade of Great Dao supreme treasures.”
His eyes were filled with excitement. He could be considered to have obtained a great harvest from the Demon Mountain this time. Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to leave alive.
In the corridor of the third palace, the expressions of the Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings of the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, and the other races darkened. They had worked themselves to death and many Immortal Kings had died along the way, but they did not even have a single Great Dao treasure. Although there were ten low-grade Great Dao treasures in the first level, there was definitely a better Great Dao treasure in the second level.
“Damned human, Shen Ping! If we can pass through and encounter him, we will definitely kill him at all costs!”
When they thought about how the other party had taken away all the Great Dao treasures, the Immortal Venerables of the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, and the others were furious. Unfortunately, no matter how angry they were, they had to continue charging into the palace.
“Everyone, in the next palace, the mutated beasts will be even stronger. All experts have to comprehend the immortal formation and combine it with a Great Dao supreme treasure to activate the immortal formation. Only then can we safely pass through,” the Immortal Venerable of the Spirit Race said coldly.
“Understood.”
The remaining Immortal Kings were even more uneasy. Although the immortal formation was powerful, the power of the mutated beast’s attack was not something they could resist. Those who were slightly weaker had basically died. At this moment, they could only nurture the Great Dao supreme treasure as soon as possible. Only then could they barely resist.
Compared to the foreign races’ Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings, the Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings of the humans, the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, who were on good terms with humans, were much more relaxed. They did not need to spend any effort to follow behind the foreign races.
Immortal Venerable Nanji said, “Those fellows from the Devil Clan and the Spirit Race should be able to pass through the third palace, but they will barely pass through after that. At that time, they will definitely let us join forces with them.”
Immortal Venerable Qi nodded, “We can stay in the corridor between the palaces for a few years, so there’s no hurry. However, we still have to pass through the palace in the end. According to Shen Ping, the attack power of the mutated beasts in the ninth and tenth palaces is already comparable to the complete Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, we have to successfully refine the defensive, offensive, and auxiliary Great Dao treasures in our hands first.”
The foreign races’ Immortal Venerables were not stupid. They were in a hurry to barge into the palace for the Great Dao treasure, but they did not have one after passing through three palaces in a row, so they naturally did not want to continue.
“Fellow Daoist Cheng, you immortal kings can enter the palace-type Great Dao true treasures to avoid being affected by the power of the mutated beasts.”
Among the low-grade Great Dao treasures obtained by these Immortal Venerables, there were one or two relatively rare palace defense treasures, so they could let Fatty Cheng and the other Immortal Kings in.
Fatty Cheng looked delighted and hurriedly said, “Thank you, Senior Nanji.”
Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed. Immortal Venerables of the humans and foreign races stayed in the sixth palace corridor.
Shen Ping finally finished nurturing the Cosmic Spear in the valley on the fifth level of Demon Mountain.
“Disciple, are you preparing to charge into the valley?” when she saw Shen Ping stood up, Lian Xuejin said worriedly. “This valley looks ordinary, but it must contain extremely terrifying danger. It’s better for you not to act rashly. If we really can’t stay here, it’s not too late to try again.”
Fairy Xuanshui echoed, “That’s right, Fellow Daoist Shen, there’s no hurry. It’s best to wait for the Immortal Venerables of the human race to rush over.”
Shen Ping smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t be rash. I’m just trying other methods now.”
He took out the puppet from the storage immortal artifact and controlled it to enter the valley.
The valley is full of flowers and plants. After the puppet entered, it only took two to three steps before the material on the puppet’s surface was corroded. It turned into a pool of thick water that was completely absorbed by the plant.
Shen Ping’s expression was solemn. This puppet’s defense was not low. Then, he controlled another puppet. Then, he gritted his teeth and let this puppet bring a low-grade defensive Great Dao treasure into the valley.
Just like the previous puppet, the surface began to corrode after taking a few steps. However, with the protection of a Great Dao supreme treasure, the corrosion speed was relatively slow, but it only lasted for more than ten steps.
“It’s venom. I didn’t expect it to be so terrifying. Even Great Dao supreme treasures can’t last long.”
He frowned. He had expected that this valley was not simple, but he did not expect that even a Great Dao treasure could only last more than ten steps. With such danger, even if he used the Nine Continents Tower, he probably would not be able to walk to the wooden house opposite the valley.
When Lian Xuejin found out, her dignified and gentle face changed several times. “Disciple, this poison is very likely to be the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. If you want to resist it, you have to understand this poison. Otherwise, you can forcefully use the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to remove or suppress it..”
