BXBX NOVEL Chapter 926: Immortal King (2)
Shen Ping did not say anything. Instead, he turned around and left.
The Black and White Swordbane looked at Shen Ping with a dark expression. Under the attack of the invisible sword array, the other party was fine. Now that he had successfully fused with it, although he still had a long way to go, his strength had definitely increased. He was no longer a match for him.
“Forget it! I’ve already repaid half of General Black Horn’s favor. I’ll take care of his family for the rest!”
In the end, he did not attack again. It was not worth it for him to sacrifice his life for a favor.
The Immortals in the distance were even more shocked. They did not expect that not only was Shen Ping completely fine, but he had also successfully fused his immortal essence energy with his body. This was the most important step to breaking through to the Immortal King Realm. Although the rest was very difficult, at least he had the hope of stepping into the Immortal King Realm.
Envy and jealousy appeared in their eyes. They wished they could replace the other party. This news spread like a hurricane. The Black Sky Tavern, the Assassin Hall, the five great armies of the Northern Ice Immortal City, and the Heavenly Court raised Shen Ping’s status again.
It was almost equivalent to an Immortal King.
…
Shen Ping sat cross-legged in the cultivation room, his emotions gradually calming down from his joy. He began to use a large number of precious resources to temper his body that had successfully fused. This step was still a long process that required extremely high patience. During this period, he could not be disturbed at all.
Therefore, before he entered seclusion, he directly entered the Strange Beast Gate and came to the central palace of the Realm Sea Peak to temper.
Time passed little by little. In the blink of an eye, 200 years had passed. A large number of rare treasures had been consumed. He directly exchanged it from the human treasury. The Immortal Venerable in charge of the treasury sent the Immortal King to personally deliver the resources to Shen Ping.
“Greetings, Immortal King Ke.”
“Fellow Daoist Shen, you don’t have to be so polite. I came this time firstly to give you the resources to temper your body. I wish you a breakthrough to the Immortal King Realm as soon as possible. Secondly, in the near future, our human race will carry out the genius selection between the various Immortal Realms. We will choose some Heavenly Immortals with potential and Golden Immortal juniors to spar. The last ten can enter the Holy Land to cultivate. You are a personal disciple of a Venerable Sovereign. I hope you can participate when the time comes. This is the Venerable Sovereign’s request.”
When Shen Ping heard this, he could not help but nod. “Since it’s Master’s request, I will naturally abide by it. I wonder when this genius selection will end?”
“It’s still early. It’s probably about a thousand years away. Telling you is just to prepare you mentally.”
It was indeed quite early. For peerless immortals and immortal kings, a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. However, for Shen Ping, who had not cultivated for long, a thousand years was a long time.
After Immortal King Ke left, Shen Ping continued his seclusion. Another 400 years passed. Finally, under the tempering of a large number of precious resources, he successfully refined his immortal body into a special body suitable for nurturing the Dao Embryo. Then, he spent 50 years and used his true soul power to constantly nurture it, gradually nurturing the Dao Embryo.
Boom!
The Dao Embryo was like a Nascent Soul. It was nurtured in the dantian. When it completely fused with his body, he would be a true Immortal King. This step only needed ten years. Sensing the baby-like special air mass in his body, he could not hide the smile on his face. “Immortal King! From this moment on, I am an immortal king!”
Although they had yet to completely fuse into one, this step was a matter of course. Immortal Kings were already considered to be at the top of the Immortal Dao territory. If they reached an Immortal Realm, they could become overlords, let alone an Immortal King like him who had a complete domain of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. His true combat strength was basically comparable to a Venerable Sovereign!
Although there were still Immortal Venerables above, be it the Immortal King realm or the Immortal Venerable realm, they were only a form of tempering of the Dao Body, making the body more suitable to mobilize the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and use many methods of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Like before, no matter how strong Shen Ping’s comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao was, he was definitely unable to erupt with the true might of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. He could only rely on treasures to face immortal kings. After breaking through to the immortal king realm now, he already had the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign with the treasures and the comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. Killing other immortal kings was as easy as blowing off dust.
Therefore, to other Immortals, breaking through to the Immortal King Realm was only the beginning of an expert. To him, he was already standing among the experts. He couldn’t help but sigh when he thought about how weak he had been.
After experiencing so many years, he had also encountered some difficulties. Now, he was finally standing at the peak of the immortal Dao territory.
“Next, I have to choose a Heaven and Earth Great Dao secret technique, a Great Dao treasure weapon suitable for me, defensive weapons, auxiliary weapons, and so on!”
He fell into deep thought. Just the combat strength of an ordinary Venerable Sovereign was far from enough. At the very least, in the face of the foreign expert and the exposure of the Realm Sea Peak, Lord Yin had said that the lowest was the late-stage Dao Origin Realm. This was only the qualifications to escape. Those below the late-stage Dao Origin Realm could not even escape.
“Time for a walk! Let’s go to the Clear Moon Teahouse.”
He had been in seclusion for so long and had successfully broken through to the Immortal King stage. Shen Ping’s mood was surging. He left the cave abode and walked out of the main city area to the streets of the inner city. Compared to the main city area, the streets of the inner city were much more prosperous. There were rows of shops in all walks of life.
He sent a message to his wives and concubines. Coincidentally, they were staying in the encampment’s cave abode, so they all headed to the Clear Moon Teahouse. When he arrived at the teahouse, it was overcrowded. Ever since he killed the owner of Phoenix House, this teahouse had become more and more famous. Many immortals and newcomers would come to the teahouse.
“Senior Shen!” The owner of the teahouse greeted him personally.
Shen Ping looked at the lively guests and could not help but smile. “Is there any room for me?”
“Yes, your private room has been reserved for you.” The boss smiled and led the way.
When the other Golden Immortals and even Mystic Immortals saw Shen Ping, they hurriedly stood up and bowed. A few hundred years was nothing in the immortal city. Everything was almost the same, but the rumors about Shen Ping’s strength spread more and more.
He sat in a private room. Not long after, his wife, concubines, and Dao Companions came.
All these years, the Peace Squad was developing faster and faster in the inner city. Many Golden Immortals wanted to join the team, mainly because of Shen Ping. With such a powerful peerless immortal backing them, no one dared to provoke them. Thus, even Mystic Immortals had applied to join. However, the number was not high.
Yu Yan, Wang Yun, and the others had always adhered to the attitude of seeking perfection. They controlled the number of members to about 50 and rarely recruited new members.
When they sat down to tea, they recounted some things in the foreign race battlefield. There was fighting, taking care of, and some warmth. Their experiences were much richer than in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. Other than fighting, their strength had clearly increased over the years. For example, Pei Huoyu had already broken through to the late-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm. The others were all at the mid-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm and were not far from the late-stage.
Because they had comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, their combat strength was astonishing. They led the Peace Squad to rise rapidly, and their ranking on the bounty list became higher and higher. Even without Shen Ping, they could rely on their own strength to establish themselves in the inner city.
Shen Ping was very gratified as he looked at the smiles and happiness on the faces of his wives, concubines, and Dao companions. In the past, in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, he rarely had the energy to accompany them to do things they liked. Now that they had come to the border of the immortal Dao territory, they had enough time to do their own things.
This is true companionship.
“Husband, we’ve been in the Northern Ice Immortal City for hundreds of years. A few years ago, we just received a message from An’er and the others. They said that they’re preparing to undergo the Tribulation Transcendence and ascend. At that time, should we bring them to the Northern Ice Immortal City together?”
Shen Ping was stunned.
That’s true. Back then, when his wife, concubine, and dao companions left, the eldest son, and the other descendants of the bloodline were about to ascend. After settling the subsequent matters over the years, it was time for them to ascend.
