Chapter 229: Still Too Weak (3)

The perception of the strange beast was extraordinary. His heart palpitated several times. There must be an unexpected danger that was about to happen, but he did not know where the danger came from and what kind of impact it would cause.
“I’m still too weak!” He let out a long sigh. All the fear and uneasiness came from his own weakness and inadequacy. “Glory Ranking! I have to enter the Glory Ranking as soon as possible. Although the increase brought about by the blue strange beast blood surpasses the bronze strange beast blood, it’s still a little slow for me.”
With Perfected Qiu’s sea beast body and his jade-grade spiritual root, Shen Ping did not have to worry about the absorption and transformation of the strange beast blood. As long as he could obtain higher purity of the strange beast blood, his cultivation and strength would increase rapidly.
Three days passed.
In the southern region of the Ze Kingdom, there were many demon beasts entrenched in the swamp that stretched for tens of thousands of miles. There was no lack of greater demons comparable to Nascent Souls. Back then, Ancestor Blood Crocodile, who dominated the Southern Flame Continent and barged into the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion, grew up from here.
On the flying dharma treasure, the Purple-Thread Cloud-Stepping Shuttle, multiple figures were wrapped in the flowing light as they drove steadily in the air above the swamp.
Boom!
Pei Huoyu, who was standing in front of the Cloud Shuttle, and Qiu Ying, who was behind her, controlled their Dharma treasures from time to time to clean up the demon beasts attacking the Cloud Shuttle.
“Seniors, please be careful. The area a few miles away is the poisonous swamp of the five most dangerous places in the swamp. That place is filled with poisonous fog all year round. Even the spiritual sense of a Golden Core Realm expert will be suppressed.” Luo Qing reminded them.
Pei Huoyu’s expression did not change.
Qiu Ying smiled charmingly and said, “I’ve been to the Ze Kingdom before and have some understanding of the dangers of the poisonous swamp. That poisonous fog can indeed suppress the divine sense of the Golden Core realm, but the suppression is not strong for the late-stage Golden Core realm. The ones we have to be wary of are those demon beasts. Although there are no greater demons in the entire poisonous swamp, there are indeed many Golden Core Realm demon beasts. Once we can’t resolve it quickly, we will be surrounded by a large number of demon beasts and it will be very difficult to escape.”
When Shen Ping heard that there were no Nascent Soul demons, his tense mind immediately relaxed. With his current methods, he was not afraid of any danger below the Nascent Soul realm.
As for the quantity, he had a lot of talismans and puppets in his spirit ring. Wang Yun, Bai Yuying, and the others did not know Shen Ping’s true combat strength. Although they had the protection of the two Golden Cores, they were still nervous.
Psst.
The Purple Thread Cloud-Stepping Shuttle quickly rushed to the edge of the poisonous fog. As the surrounding poisonous fog churned, the surface of the cloud shuttle instantly emitted waves of corrosive black gas, constantly consuming the energy of the dharma treasure. At this rate of corrosion, it could probably only last for five minutes.
“This poisonous fog is really powerful.” Shen Ping frowned. As soon as his divine sense extended out of the range of the light, he immediately sensed a faint suppression.
Swoosh.
The poisonous fog below the Cloud Thread Shuttle suddenly surged. A poisonous flood dragon’s head popped out. However, before it could attack the shuttle, golden flames surged from Pei Huoyu’s fingertips and she waved her hand.
The golden flames instantly turned into flames that were dozens of feet long and engulfed the poisonous flood dragon. Just a powerful demon beast comparable to a Golden Core cultivator died in Pei Huoyu’s hands.
In the next ten minutes, demon beasts would attack from the surroundings from time to time. But in the end, without exception, they all burned into flames and fell.
Although Qiu Ying was also vigilant and prepared to attack at any time, every time the poisonous fog dispersed or there was movement, she was always a step slower. After driving out of this poisonous swamp area, Qiu Ying’s charming face revealed a hint of helplessness.
Seeing this, Shen Ping could not help but comfort her through voice transmission. “Ying’er, don’t be discouraged. After all, Perfected Pei is a Golden Core expert at the headquarters of the Zhongsheng Continent. Her foundation is powerful. Be it cultivation techniques, spell techniques, or Dharma treasures, they are not something us cultivators of the Northern Rock Marsh Region can compare to.”
Perfected Qiu did not care about this. It was just that she felt a little emotional for a moment. When she heard her husband’s words, she smiled even more easily and said, “Husband, Ying’er believes that you will be so powerful in the future.”
Shen Ping couldn’t help but tease, “Didn’t Ying’er already see how powerful I am?”
“1 want to see a more powerful husband.”
“Just you wait, when my physique increases again, 1 will definitely shock Ying’er.”
The shuttle passed through a large number of swamps. Soon, a majestic mountain range entered everyone’s vision. Luo Qing could not help but show joy on her face. After driving for dozens of breaths, the dharma treasure landed at the edge of the mountain range.
“Sister Qing’er, are you sure this is the place where you once cultivated?” Yu Yan looked suspicious. The spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of kilometers was thin. Even cultivators at the bottom of the Qi Refinement realm would not cultivate in such an environment.
The others looked at Luo Qing one after another.
“I can’t be wrong. This is where I lived since 1 was young. But why did it become like this? Before 1 followed Spring Garden to Cloud Mountain Parlour, the spiritual energy here was still very abundant. Even the level-three spiritual vein of Qingyang Lake was inferior.” Luo Qing looked around in a daze, then pointed to the north of the mountain range. “Husband, I want to go there and take a look!”
Whoosh.
The shuttle flew again. Several hours later, Luo Qing’s face lost some color. She sat on a rock halfway up the mountain and looked at the ruined city in the distance. She did not speak for a long time.
Shen Ping and his wife and concubines did not comfort her. They knew that what Luo Qing needed the most now was silence.
Several days passed. The light armor flashed with golden light. Pei Huoyu landed beside Shen Ping. His valiant face was filled with seriousness. “Fellow Daoist Shen, I’ve carefully checked the surroundings of the mountain range and found that the spiritual energy of several large spirit veins has been completely sucked dry.
“Only the top factions of the Zhongsheng Continent can have such means, but they won’t covet such a low-level spirit vein. Something’s probably wrong here. We have to leave quickly.”
She did not deliberately lower her voice. His wife and concubines, including Luo Qing, heard it. Before Shen Ping could speak, Luo Qing straightened up and said, “Husband, let’s go.”
Whoosh.
The shuttle floated. After the few of them stabilized themselves, they flashed and rushed up.
Rumble-
However, just as the dharma treasure reached the edge of the mountain range, the entire undulating mountain range shook. Immediately after, a mountain ridge that stretched for hundreds of kilometers suddenly rose from the ground and smashed towards the dharma treasure like a giant’s arm.
His wife and concubines’ expressions changed drastically.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Almost instantly, Pei Huoyu and Qiu Ying rushed out of the light and floated on both sides, facing the stone arms of the mountain ridge that were pressing down.
Accompanied by the release of magic power pressure, Qiu Ying’s purple-brown dress transformed into a purple orchid dress in the blink of an eye. Her coiled hair scattered in the wind, and waves of powerful aura swept in all directions. A blue moon dharma treasure suddenly appeared in front of her. The dharma treasure was surrounded by a faint blue luster. Under the infusion of the magic power of the Golden Core, it instantly swelled into a huge blue moon in the wind.
It looked like the moonlight hanging in the air.
“Go!” A low shout sounded. After a few flashes, the Full Moon dharma treasure collided with the stone arm of the mountain ridge that was hundreds of kilometers long.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the dazzling blue light flashed, the stone arm of the mountain ridge shattered and collapsed..
