Shen Ping was slightly shocked. He knew that the source of the Derivative Beast’s calamity came from the strange beasts, but before that, be it his master, Mountain Flame, Dan Hai, or the other hall masters, they had all said that calamities would appear every once in a while. Moreover, with the powerful foundation of the True Treasure Pavilion, it could easily resolve it. Although this calamity was far worse than before, and even his martial uncle had died, he still believed that the True Treasure Pavilion could resolve it.

However, now that he heard what his master said, the situation seemed to be very serious.

Thinking of this, he fell silent for a moment before asking in a low voice, “Master, may 1 ask how to resolve this calamity? 1 know that it’s meaningless to ask such a question with my cultivation realm, but 1 still want to know if it can be resolved!”

The palace dress sighed softly. She stood up and walked to the front of the immortal herbs planted and nurtured in the small courtyard. She paused for a long time before saying faintly, “Disciple, originally, 1 didn’t intend to let you know about these things. It’s just that 1 didn’t expect the calamity to come so quickly.”

She pointed at the immortal herb in front of her. “Although the Nine Continents Tower suppresses the strange beast, the energy dissipated by the strange beast is extremely huge. If we leave it alone, the Nine Continents Tower will be affected by this power sooner or later. That’s why there are five continents and four seas to help suppress it. I’ve already told you this previously, but disciple, do you know what the five continents and four seas rely on to suppress and balance the energy dissipated by the strange beast?”

Before Shen Ping could reply, the Head Hall Master continued, “It’s relying on this immortal herb and the huge spiritual energy special array of the five continents and four seas.

“Among them, the Immortal Spirit Herb is the core of the array formation. It maintains the balance of all the spirit veins in the five continents and four seas. The Zhongsheng Continent is also a part of the array formation. The main reason why the other continents can’t allow Divine Transformation cultivators to cultivate is that once the number of Divine Transformation cultivators increases, it will destroy the spiritual energy balance of the entire five continents and four seas. All of this has lasted for more than 100,000 years.

“It’s a pity that the weather is unpredictable. There will always be some accidents. You should still remember the mountain monster Derivative Beast we encountered, right?”

Shen Ping nodded and said, “1 remember. If not for my Dao Protector and Dao companion, it would have been difficult for me to escape.”

The Head Hall Master shook her head and said, “The birth of the mountain monster Derivative Beast is the greatest unstable factor in this accident. It can devour the spiritual veins of the five continents and four seas, causing the spiritual energy to decline and affect the balance of the entire suppression of the strange beast’s energy.

“If the balance of the spiritual energy is destroyed, the barrier of the five continents and four seas will collapse, and the calamity you saw will instantly descend. In order to delay time, your martial uncle brought many Blood Lords and Blood Silk Guards of Spring Garden to kill the top sects of the Zhongsheng Continent in order to increase the spiritual energy of the entire five continents and four seas and strengthen the spiritual energy array!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Ping was shocked. He naturally knew that Spring Garden had caused a war in the Zhongsheng Continent, but he did not expect it to be like this.

At this moment, the Head Hall Master’s voice carried a trace of a sigh, “I originally thought that the deaths of cultivators above the Divine Transformation realm in the top sects like the Taiyan Sect, the Moon Lotus Holy Sect, and the Ghost Sage Luo Valley would increase the concentration of spiritual energy, and the descent of the calamity would be delayed for at least 30 to 40 years, or even longer.

“However, 1 didn’t expect that the calamity had descended early, even though your martial uncle used his cultivation and life as the price to resist the collapse of the barrier, there are times when manpower is exhausted. There are still loopholes in the core array core.

“And now that the Derivative Beasts have surged into the Zhongsheng Continent, the destruction of the various immortal cities and sects is secondary. The most important thing is the spiritual veins. If the spiritual veins gradually dry up, the barrier will completely collapse. At that time, the suppressed strange beast will gradually awaken. At that time, it will be true despair!”

Shen Ping’s heart sank. A strange beast. The most powerful and mysterious living being in the world. Even the supreme treasure of the human race had to use all kinds of methods to suppress it. Even if immortals came, it would be useless when such a creature to wake up.

He thought of the consequences.

Shen Ping felt powerless and cold. Ever since he resigned himself to his fate and married a wife, although his cultivation and strength were increasing day by day, he had always been wandering. It was not easy for him to arrive at the top faction of the Zhongsheng Continent, the True Treasure Pavilion, and even become a personal disciple of the peak cultivators of the five continents and four seas.

In the end… there was still no safety!

He clenched his fists. He felt that fate was teasing him. If he had been struggling uselessly from the beginning to the end, he might as well have been corroded by the demon beast’s poison and died.

“Is there no other way?” He looked up. There was a trace of hope in his eyes. His master was, after all, a powerful cultivator who stood at the peak of the five continents and four seas. She also had the background of an immortal.

She must have a solution.

“No.”

The gentle voice fell. The corners of Shen Ping’s mouth curled into a bitter smile. He still did not give up and said, “Master, you just said that you want me to cultivate the technique left behind by an Immortal Dao expert in peace. There must be a way to enter that mysterious place!”

The Head Hall Master fell silent. The original intention of her words was to make Shen Ping focus more on himself because she had made her choice the moment the calamity descended and her junior brother died.

The Nine Continents Tower was a supreme treasure of the human race. Even if the consciousness of the strange beast awakened and destroyed the five continents and four seas, she could still use the Nine Continents Tower to send Shen Ping out to the real cultivation place in the outside world in peace.

However, Shen Ping was destined to be the only one. If her master was still around, he might be able to protect more, But she couldn’t.

The human race’s supreme treasure was not something she could activate. It was a method left behind by her master to send someone away..
