Chapter 423: Alliance (2)

“The main reason why the Beast Spirit geniuses of the various races did not surround you is actually because they know that the mortality rate in this underground palace is very high. Naturally, they will not deliberately look for you.”

Shen Ping knew that Yin Ting was telling the truth. All these years, he was no longer a newbie who had just entered the Strange Beast Gate. His understanding of Beast Spirit geniuses was also more detailed. Simply put, the difference between Beast Spirit geniuses was mainly divided into three aspects. The first was also the most basic strange beast power. The more powerful the strange beast power in the dantian, the stronger it would be. The second was beast spirit treasures. Most beast spirit geniuses only had low-grade beast spirit treasures. Therefore, this aspect depended on the development and use of beast spirit treasures. Moreover, the more they obtained, the easier it was to defeat the enemy. For example, there happened to be a treasure that could restrain the other party’s beast spirit treasure.

The third was the mark of the strange beast. The more complete the mark of the strange beast, the deeper one’s comprehension of the strange beast concept. The third point was also the greatest difference between the strength of the Beast Spirit geniuses.

If a second-grade Beast Spirit genius like Yin Ting were to face an ordinary Beast Spirit genius, she would basically crush her opponent. Even if she encountered the demon cultivator from last time, she would still be able to obtain victory in the end. It would all depend on whether she was willing to pay a price.

Therefore, as long as it was not a Beast Spirit genius who wanted to lie down, they would enter the Heaven Ascension Hall to take a risk. This was because it was very slow to accumulate and increase the power of strange beasts by relying on the strange stones searched in the underground palace or fighting and plundering. If more than 80% of the Beast Spirit geniuses of the various races did not enter the Heaven Ascension Hall, even if their comprehension was extremely high, it would cause their foundation to be weak. Their strength and cultivation were far inferior to the others who entered the Heaven Ascension Hall.

One had to know that the Heaven Ascension Hall could not only increase the power of strange beasts, but it could also greatly increase the physique, bone structure, and purity of magic powers.

Therefore, in a true sense, the Heaven Ascension Hall could be called a training ground for elite Beast Spirit geniuses.

Yin Ting continued, “Fellow Daoist Shen, the reason why I’m advising you is mainly because I don’t want you to die in vain. Just because you can pass the first level doesn’t mean that you can pass the second level. More importantly, there are second-grade Beast Spirit geniuses on the second level. You can rely on a high-grade Beast Spirit Treasure to exhaust one, but can you exhaust the second?”

Shen Ping frowned. He admitted that Yin Ting was right. High-grade beast spirit treasures were not omnipotent, especially in the Heaven Ascension Hall where Beast Spirit geniuses gathered. Once they fought, the powerful consumption of high-grade beast spirit treasures would be at a disadvantage. “Fellow Daoist Yin, thank you for your reminder, but I’ll still go… I don’t have much time!”

When Yin Ting heard this, she was stunned for a moment before falling silent. That’s right. Shen Ping did not have much time. The higher-ups of the Immortal Dao of the other races would not let him grow and let the ranking of the human race’s Myriad Spirit Ranking continue to increase.

Thinking of this, Yin Ting hesitated and said, “If Fellow Daoist Shen insists on entering, you can form an alliance with me!”

“An alliance?”

“That’s right. There are actually not many outstanding Beast Spirit geniuses from the various races and we all know each other. For example, the Ling Chan’er I introduced to you previously is a Spirit Race genius who has a good relationship with me. If we enter the Heaven Ascension Hall, we will form an alliance and deal with the danger together!

“At that time, the geniuses of the other races will secretly form an alliance. You’re a human, so your status is different. If you don’t have an ally, the other geniuses definitely won’t mind joining forces to destroy you first!” Shen Ping had a strange expression. “Why are you so kind, Fellow Daoist Yin? Aren’t you afraid that my identity will affect you?”

Yin Ting smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist Shen has the Talisman Beast Diagram and a high-level beast spirit treasure. Although your cultivation level is a little low, your strength can’t be underestimated. Moreover, it’s precisely because of this that the geniuses of the other races might be careless.”

Shen Ping nodded and teased half-jokingly, “I thought that Fellow Daoist Yin was reluctant!”

A trace of redness flashed across Yin Ting’s fair skin under the veil, but she quickly said coldly, “Fellow Daoist Shen, don’t worry. In this underground palace, our lives are unknown. How can we have other thoughts?”

Shen Ping cupped his hands and said, “Fellow Daoist Yin is right.”

They chatted for a while more before separating.

Half a month later, Yin Ting mentioned the alliance to Ling Chan’er.

Ling Chan’er frowned and said, “Yin Ting, I’ve also come into contact with Fellow Daoist Shen once or twice. Putting aside his human identity, just his cultivation realm is too low. You should know that the demons, devils, and several second-grade Beast Spirit geniuses of my Spirit Clan and the Flame Clan will enter when the Heaven Ascension Hall opens. Even if he has the Talisman Beast Diagram, such an item can only be used once or twice. If there are too many, the other Beast Spirit geniuses will definitely be on guard. If we ally with him, I’m afraid that a conflict will drag us down!”

Yin Ting shook her head and said, “Fellow Daoist Shen is able to stand out from the first level of the Heaven Ascension Hall, so he definitely has other methods. Moreover, he has a high-grade beast spirit treasure. It will definitely be a deterrent at the critical moment. Don’t forget that the Heaven Ascension Hall still prioritizes survival in the end!”

Seeing that Yin Ting could not be persuaded, Ling Chan’er could only say helplessly, “Alright, but if there’s really danger, I won’t care about our alliance.” “Sure.”

To Beast Spirit geniuses like them, the so-called alliance was only a verbal agreement. They would not really sign any contract documents. After all, it was dangerous in the Heaven Ascension Hall. Who knew what unsolvable situation they would encounter?

For the rest of the time, other than revising the beast form scroll of talisman Dao and puppets, Shen Ping did not continue to study new ones for the rest of the time. Instead, he made talismans and puppets. This time, he had to make sufficient preparations for entering the Heaven Ascension Hall, especially the fifth-stage offensive talismans. He had to accumulate a thousand of them. If he encountered a troublesome enemy, these thousand talismans would be his greatest reliance.

As for the complete Talisman Beast Diagram, he could only barely make dozens of it. It was mainly limited by materials and energy. In addition, he could refine four more puppets at most to form five beast puppets. At that time, he would be able to use puppet divine power.

Therefore, these things alone took up too much of his time.

Even so, he would still take time out every day to communicate with Jing Huilan. Although the golden frame was already the limit of most Dao companions, and it was very difficult to transform into a purple frame and give birth to Life Divine abilities without special events and emotions, Shen Ping would not give up.

He firmly believed that as time passed, love would grow. As long as he worked tirelessly to preach and inherit, he would one day welcome the day of metamorphosis.

In the blink of an eye, another five years passed.

In the City Lord Manor of Gray Stone City, Shen Ping sat at the head of the table and looked at An Zhiyuan and the other guest elders standing respectfully. He casually said, “Sit down and talk.”

“Thank you, Pavilion Master!” An Zhiyuan and the other guest elders sat down one after another and said, “Pavilion Master, this time, I’ve already opened up the trade routes around Sword Seal City and established cooperation with a few sects and families of our human race. With their help, these trade routes will not have any problems.”

Ever since he destroyed the Stone Tiger Clan, the development of the Merchant Alliance in the city became rapid. It even had the smell of barbaric growth. Without restrictions and payments, not only did the True Treasure Pavilion expand, but the strength and scale of the caravans of the other races also expanded one after another. However, the True Treasure Pavilion relied on precious resources to develop even faster. The various gathering places and markets under the jurisdiction of Gray Stone City established branch pavilions one after another. There were already more than twelve of them, firmly controlling the resources at the edge of the Black Mist Direlands.

Apart from that, Sword Seal City was also completely opened. Of course, it was only limited to the market at the early-stage of the Void Refinement Realm. Shen Ping could not provide resources at the middle, late-stage, or even the Body Integration Realm for the time being.

But even so, the foundation and strength of the True Treasure Pavilion had also increased by more than ten times. There were two times more guest elders at the Divine Transformation realm. Although it was only in name, their reliance on the True Treasure Pavilion kept increasing. As for the Nascent Soul realm, there were even more.

Shen Ping was very calm. He naturally knew that the strength of the True Treasure Pavilion was actually built on the supply of precious resources and his deterrence. Among those guest elders, only the An family and another human guest elder were sincere in joining him. The rest were only on the surface.

After An Zhiyuan finished reporting, he hesitated and said, “Pavilion Master, the demons have gradually increased their harassment of our True Treasure Pavilion recently. Some seniors in Sword Seal City heard about it and want to invite you to deal with the demons together..”
