Chapter 332: Top of the Glory Ranking (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“It’s really a blessing that such a genius can be born in the five continents and four seas.” As she spoke in a gentle voice, waves of gentle light surged from the white jade tower and quickly covered the ninth level that had been completely flattened by the pillar of light.
She looked at Shen Ping, who had started to rest. The highest throne raised her eyes slightly and looked at the main hall-level phantoms around her. She smiled faintly and said, “Everyone, 1 want to take him in as a registered disciple. Yueling will inform him about this and ask him to come to the main hall. When he reaches the top three of the Glory Ranking with his puppet technique, he can inherit the core scripture of our True Treasure Pavilion—the Beast Scripture!”
The phantom of the highest throne gradually faded. The twelve thrones in the main hall around the hall had different expressions. Although the registered disciples were not personal disciples, the Head Hall Master had never taken in a disciple. Therefore, although it looked like he was just a registered disciple, they were actually certain that Shen Ping was the inheritor of the Beast Scripture.
Not to mention that the Head Hall Master did not even discuss it with them this time. Clearly, this matter had already become settled. Hall Master Chen Yao frowned. Hall Master Xing Ling shook his head gently. The other main hall-level phantoms with the personal disciples of the top ten members of Glory also sighed slightly.
They knew that their disciple’s last hope of inheritance had completely disappeared at this moment. However, these Hall Masters were not dissatisfied. After all, a Talisman Dao genius like Shen Ping was destined to be unable to hide his brilliance.
In a pavilion halfway up the Floating Spirit Peak.
The expressions of Fellow Daoist Xu and the other top ten members of the Glory Ranking changed from the initial sigh to helplessness, and finally to a dull expression.
They could still barely describe this Talisman Master Shen as a monster. But the top of the Glory Ranking was completely beyond their comprehension.
Even though Talisman Master Shen spent 16 hours on the ninth level, he was ranked first on the Glory Ranking. He represented the most outstanding and dazzling genius among all the skill cores in the True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters.
If Shen Ping was a Nascent Soul cultivator, they would at most sigh with envy and secretly want to catch up. However, the other party was only a cultivator who had reached the perfection of the Foundation Establishment realm. He had cultivated for less than a hundred years. When they thought of this fact, no matter how strong their mental state was, they could not help but suffer a blow. They felt that their thousand years of cultivation were in vain.
“Competing with such a genius is really despairing!” After a long while, Fellow Daoist Xu’s long sigh sounded in the pavilion. Immediately, the other cultivators nodded in agreement.
In the guest courtyard.
The Holy Maiden, who had ended her conversation with the sect master, was arranging the subsequent cultivation matters of Elder Qu and the other disciples of the Moon Lotus Holy Sect. Now that the situation in the Zhongsheng Continent was gradually becoming chaotic, the sect had already begun to prepare a way out. As for them, they were undoubtedly the safest in the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion.
However, if they wanted to cultivate here for a long time, they had to find someone to protect them.
“Elder Qu, although the other exchange disciples can temporarily stay in the guest rooms of the various halls, this is not a long-term plan. Next, you have to send more messages to the other elders leading the team and let them use their methods to find out if they can arrange for us to be in the same hall.”
Qu Wan bowed and said, “Yes, Holy Maiden.”
Just as the Holy Maiden was about to continue, the jade token in her sleeve vibrated. She probed with her divine sense. She immediately learned that Shen Ping was already at the top of the Glory Rankings. “Looks like we have to rely on this Talisman Master Shen to stay in the True Treasure Pavilion safely!” After the Holy Maiden told Qu Wan the news, she could not help but sigh.
While Qu Wan was shocked, she noticed the Holy Maiden’s complicated expression and could not help but ask curiously, “Why is the Holy Maiden sighing? This should be a joyous occasion for us.”
The Holy Maiden hesitated but still voiced the hesitation in her heart. “To be honest, Elder Qu, that Talisman Master Shen’s mental fortitude is really extraordinary. I’m afraid it’s difficult for me to charm him in a short period of time with the technique of the White Heavenly Lotus. Therefore, if I want to really master it, I have to… I have to have sex with him.”
Qu Wan frowned slightly. “The Vital Yin of the Holy Maiden is very important to cultivate our sect’s True Scripture. You can’t have sex with a man. If you have no choice, you can change to another disciple at the critical moment. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll do it.”
The Holy Maiden shook her head helplessly. “How can things be so simple? If we were in the sect, we would naturally have thousands of methods to deal with it. However, this is the True Treasure Pavilion. Shen Ping is not stupid. He has strong willpower. How can he be fooled by us?
“As for cultivating the True Scripture, there’s no need to worry too much. I’ve already cultivated the fifth level of the cultivation technique. Even if I lose my primordial yin, it won’t damage my foundation. At most, it will affect my cultivation time.”
Only then did Qu Wan’s beautiful brows relax a little. She thought for a moment and said, “Holy Maiden, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, we have to give it a try. Holy Maiden, you can invite that Talisman Master Shen to our residence. As long as you set up the illusion array in advance, it might succeed.”
The Holy Maiden’s expression changed slightly. “That’s feasible. I’ll test him today.”
Fire Spirit Hall.
In the quiet room.
The moment his consciousness returned from the core space of the jade token, Shen Ping slowly opened his eyes. “I didn’t expect that there would be no defense rune array on the tenth floor of the trial!” He smiled bitterly.
The key to being able to walk all the way to the tenth level and reveal the power of the Talisman Dao Mystique was the defensive talisman formation. Without this protection, not to mention the tenth level, he might not even be able to pass through the dark rock ground of the first level.
However, he quickly fell into deep thought.
The tenth level of the True Treasure Pavilion’s trial seemed to have a deeper meaning. Since there was no defense of talisman formations, it was very likely that it was not only a test of control over the Talisman Beast Scripture, but also various methods for Talisman Masters to face true danger.
Shen Ping could not help but examine himself. If he did encounter such a situation, how could he resolve the predicament with the current means? “Defensive divine arts, speed divine arts… dharma treasures, talismans, array discs, puppets…” He thought through all the methods in his mind. He revealed a confident smile. If he encountered the mountain demon in the Ze Kingdom again, he believed that he would not need to rely on Perfected Pei and Qiu Ying to escape.
At the thought of Pei Huoyu, his heart was immediately filled with excitement. Initially, the biggest goal of this trial was to get into the top three of Glory. However, he unexpectedly reached the top of the rankings. This was really a pleasant surprise.
And he really wanted to share this joy with his wife, concubines, and Dao companions. He stood up and walked out of the quiet room. Shen Ping quickly realized that his wives and concubines were not in the Fire Spirit Hall. After some thought, he guessed that they must have gone to the hall. He did not send a message. Instead, he returned to the quiet room and meditated.
This time, he had stayed in the trial space for a long time. He had not cultivated for an entire day and had to make up for it.
Boom.
As he circulated the Qianyuan Scripture, the abundant spiritual energy in the quiet room condensed into spiritual mist in the blink of an eye. It surged crazily from the acupoints all over his body and turned into pure magic power that filled his dantian and meridians, compressing the already full magic power. The absorption and transformation speed of the earth spirit root was indeed very shocking. Even the blood of strange beasts could not reach it.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would need at least a year and a half to polish their magic power and adjust their mental strength before forming the Core.
On the other hand, Shen Ping’s magic power was dozens of times that of other Foundation Establishment Cultivators. His divine sense had also metamorphosed to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. If he formed his core now, the chances of success would be very high. However, in the end, the core patterns would inevitably be unsatisfactory.
If there were no resources, it would be best if he could form his Golden Core as soon as possible. However, since he had the support of the powerful foundation of the True Treasure Pavilion, he naturally had to pursue better core patterns.
He only ended his cultivation around one in the afternoon. As soon as he walked out of the quiet room, he saw his wife, concubines, and Dao companions of different sizes and own merits waiting outside.
“Congratulations, husband, on reaching the top of the Glory Ranking!” Soft, delicate, charming, cold, sweet, and other voices sounded in Shen Ping’s ears. He was stunned at first, then he looked at the excitement on his wives and concubines’ faces. Immediately, the suppressed joy in his heart completely bloomed.
Without any explanation, he strode out and hugged his wife and concubine with one hand. He quickly walked towards the master bedroom. The remaining Dao companions followed closely behind. Not long after, explosive celebrations rose and fell.
In the side hall of the Dan Hai Hall.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone at the entrance of the hall, reflecting the shadows of the long corridor. Hall Master Dan Hai, Hall Master Shan Huo, Elder Huo Han, Perfected Yu, the elders of the Dan Hai Hall, and the other cultivators looked at each other.
The Lord of the Moon Spirit Main Hall had personally arrived. It was obvious that he had something to inform Shen Ping. However, they did not expect that Shen Ping, who had just risen to the top of the rankings today, would not come to the side hall to cultivate without even informing them.
However, the Lord of the main hall had specially instructed not to send him a message. They could only wait patiently.
It was five in the evening. Hall Master Yueling could not help but laugh. “Looks like this little guy really won’t come today. Being able to rush to the top of the rankings is indeed worth being excited about. Forget it, I’ll come again
tomorrow..”
