Chapter 900: Transformation of True Spirit (2)
“Yes, of course.”
His wife, concubine, and Dao companions chatted. From time to time, laughter could be heard from the splashing water in the pool.
At night, rain began to fall from the gloomy sky, and soon it became a heavy downpour. The sound of rain hitting banana leaves was as clear as pearls falling on a jade plate.
Shen Ping sat cross-legged in the underground cultivation room. His legs were flat on the ancient bronze sword, and the rich energy of heaven and earth mixed with the mental pollution energy was constantly absorbed by his body.
Seemingly having reached a certain critical point, his true soul force erupted like a volcano, rapidly rising from peerless immortal to immortal king. The mutated energy contained in his dantian and meridians had also broken through to the high-grade Main Envoy level.
A moment later, he opened his eyes. A look of surprise and joy came over his face. Originally, his true soul power had long reached the peak level in his previous life. Who would have thought that breaking through to a high-level main envoy in this world would allow his soul power to break through as well?
Clearly, the quality of the mental pollution energy was higher than Shen Ping had expected! Otherwise, it would have been impossible for his true soul power to transform.
“If a high-level main envoy has such power, what about an even stronger National Guardian?”
Shen Ping could not help but think. He thought to himself that it was fortunate that he did not rashly go to the Overseas Federation to snatch the Black Silkworm Gold. Otherwise, he might not have been a match for a National Guardian of the Federation. Even if the other party was not as proficient as him in terms of methods and the use of mutated energy was very crude, with this mental quality, even if he was restrained by the rules of the world, he could still suppress him.
Boom! Crack!
The rain got heavier. Rolling thunderclaps sounded in the sky like a huge roar. The huge lightning seemed to want to tear the sky apart.
Dozens of figures approached the villa at an extremely fast speed. Every figure was at the level of an oracle, and they looked well-trained. Their bodies were even covered in black technology battle armor that could block all detection.
Boom.
Bolts of lightning lit up the dark sky for a moment. All the figures instantly stopped. Only when the darkness swallowed them again did they continue to run towards the villa. About two to three minutes later,
More than 30 figures surrounded the manor without making a sound. The leader waved his hand. All of them released metal spheres. But before they activated the spheres, the air within a radius of several kilometers around the villa froze. Even the black clouds in the sky stopped moving.
All the armored men in black surrounding the manor felt the air become heavier and heavier, as if a huge mountain was pressing down.
“Not good, we’ve been discovered. Retreat!”
Blue energy appeared under the feet of the leader of the men in black. The armor quickly activated the power device, and the others reacted one after another. Even if they activated it to the limit, they could only fly two to three meters high and could not escape quickly.
The air currents condensed into formless arrows. The men in black grunted and fell to the ground like dumplings. Their blood stained their inner armor. There were only three people left. The simple walls of the villa lit up with searchlights, illuminating the dark rainy night.
Shen Ping and his wives and Dao Companions quickly arrived before the three of them. The leader looked up. He tried to commit suicide, only to find that he could not move at all.
“A Level 4 Oracle. The others are all level-three and level-two Oracles. Only the three top families in the country can mobilize such a force. Although other organizations and forces can also mobilize them, it will be very painful for them to mobilize so many level-three Oracles at once! So who sent you?”
He flicked his finger. The leader and his two assistants immediately realized that they could move their mouths, but they could not bite their tongues to commit suicide.
“If you want to kill me, just kill me. Don’t waste your breath—”
Just as he opened his mouth, Shen Ping’s true soul power enveloped the three of them. Powerful soul power began to corrode their sea of consciousness. However, at the level of Oracle, every one of them was affected by the mental pollution energy. The defense of their sea of consciousness was very strong. Although Shen Ping had broken through to the Immortal King realm, he frowned after trying for a while.
Bai Ying walked forward and carefully examined the black armor they were wearing.
“It’s a tiger-leopard suit. This kind of nanosuit is very expensive. Even the number of modified warriors who are currently equipped is not high. Only the Capital produces it.”
Among the three top families in the country, the Wangs were located in the capital, while the Lians and Chengs were in the south and northwest respectively.
Yu Yan said, “In that case, is the family in the capital going to deal with my husband?”
Shen Ping shook his head. “I don’t have any contact with the three big families, and only have some connections with the Wangs. It’s impossible for them to mobilize such a force just because of that small connection. If I’m not wrong, they’re not sent by the country, but by the Federation. They’re most likely here for the Divine Hell Bead.”
As soon as he said this, the leader’s pupils changed slightly. Yue Lingluo, Pei Huoyu, and the others immediately sensed it.
“Ying’er, make a trip tomorrow and bring them to the Transcendent Base to see who they are. It just so happens that you can gain more merit points.”
With the S-grade secret artifacts and other D-grade secret artifacts obtained from Shayuan City, merit points were no longer of much use to them. However, not only could merit points be exchanged for secret artifacts, but they could also be exchanged for money and other items.
For example, the land in the manor was exchanged by Shen Ping with merit points.
Ten days later, there was news from the Transcendent Base. The identities of these three oracles, including the other oracles, had been investigated. They were members of two groups of modified warriors in the capital. Most of them had long been instigated by the Federation with secret artifacts, mithril, sacrificial diagrams, and other resources. The rest had also collected a lot of benefits.
Because of this, the base in the capital launched a rigorous self-investigation.
After ascertaining the source of this matter, his wife and concubines all had solemn expressions. “It seems that it’s really the Federation’s doing. They’ve found out my husband’s location. This time, they’re mainly here to test him.”
Shen Ping nodded. It had been more than half a year since the incident in Shayuan City. With the methods of the Overseas Federation, they could naturally find him. After all, he had let a white man go at that time.
“Unless the National Guardians make a move, anyone who comes will only be courting death. The National Guardians won’t make a move easily, and the National Guardians in the country won’t allow the Overseas Federation to step foot in the territory,” he said nonchalantly. The Divine Hell Bead was actually useless in his hands. Only by obtaining the Black Silkworm Gold could it be activated and open the path to Netherworld or the Underworld.
Qiu Ying said, “Husband, if the Divine Hell Bead is really important, will the National Guardians of the Federation put pressure on you together with the National Guardians of the United Nations?”
Shen Ping was stunned. Then, he frowned and said, “That’s possible, but don’t worry. Even if they put pressure on me, I won’t attack. My current strength is not an ordinary high-level main envoy. Continue to absorb the mutated energy. When your soul power breaks through, you will be able to sense the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth released on the surface of the secret artifact!”
Under normal circumstances, only Immortal Kings could sense the fluctuations. But in this world, level-three Oracles could possess various attributes, and when they reached the level of main envoy, they could control the energy that released the secret artifact and cause super large-scale destructive power. Therefore, as long as his Dao companions broke through to the level of main envoy, they could comprehend and study the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
“Yes, husband.”
Two days later, Director Gao of the Transcendent Base in Qinghe City came over. When he saw Shen Ping and Bai Ying, his expression darkened and he asked, “What’s wrong with the two of you? You haven’t returned to the base recently and haven’t even done your usual missions.
“Of course, you did a good job last time. I’m here on behalf of my superiors to reward you.” As he spoke, he took out two medals. He handed them to Shen Ping and Bai Ying. “It’s normal for young people to be attracted to each other, but dating is dating, and work can’t be delayed, right?”
Director Gao’s tone softened a little and he asked again, “Tell me, why did these people come all the way here to find trouble with the two of you? Also, their strength is not low. Logically speaking, just the two of you would have been destroyed long ago!”
