Chapter 724: The Truth of the Black Abyss (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“The power of heaven and earth is the true essence! Break!” Ancestor Ji let out a low roar as his bloodline star energy surged and covered an area of dozens of kilometers. Large amounts of seawater swirled and swept. Apart from that, golden spears were mixed in and violently collided with the twelve golden cauldrons.

The battle between the star platforms, especially when they were at the same level, was purely using the might of heaven and earth to attack each other. Whoever had a deeper understanding of the power of heaven and earth would gradually gain the upper hand.

Shen Ping had just broken through to the second level of the Star Platform. This time, his original intention was to see the gap between him and these veterans. After the exchange just now, he already understood that he was not a match for Ancestor Ji in terms of the might of heaven and earth, he could only barely gain the upper hand by relying on the restraint of his many bloodlines. However, it would probably be more difficult to deal with him.

“With my Devouring talent and the star power of many bloodlines, I should be able to slowly wear it down!”

Although the bloodline star of a Star Platform expert was very large, it consumed a lot of energy to activate the power of heaven and earth. Under normal circumstances, a Star Platform expert could continuously activate the power of heaven and earth for a few days, Ancestor Ji, who was in the second level of the Star Platform, would definitely be able to last for more than ten days.

However, ten days later, the bloodline aura on Ancestor Ji’s body did not weaken at all, which surprised Shen Ping.

After another wave of exchanges. Ancestor Ji directly said, “Sect Master Shen, how about we stop sparring here? If we continue, it will only waste our bloodline stars. There’s no meaning.”

Shen Ping restrained the bloodline energy in his body. Although he did not use his wind-element bloodline, even if he did, he would at most increase the suppression. It would still be difficult to deal with the other party.

“Ancestor Ji is indeed worthy of being an expert who established the Great Xia Dynasty. I admire your strength and methods.” He cupped his hands and praised. In this world, Ancestor Ji in front of him was the first opponent he had encountered who was evenly matched.

A smile appeared on Ancestor Ji’s face. Being praised by such a peerless genius was indeed a very proud thing. “Sect Master Shen’s strength is not inferior either. Since you and I have given up, why don’t we go to the Imperial City for a cup of tea?”

Shen Ping smiled and said, “Since Ancestor Ji has invited me, how can I dare to disobey?”

The two of them returned to the Imperial City while chatting. The three imperial star platforms guarding the Imperial City sensed the Ancestor’s aura and revealed looks of joy.

“Go, bring over the Dragon Mist Spirit Tea I nurtured.” Ancestor Ji instructed and looked at Shen Ping. “Sect Master Shen, please.”

They arrived at the pavilion in the back garden and sat down. The royal star platforms behind him looked at each other. They did not know why the two of them had suddenly become so harmonious. Weren’t they still fighting to the death previously?

He took a sip of tea and Shen Ping could not help but ask, “Ancestor Ji, what kind of environment is the Black Abyss?”

Ancestor Ji seemed to have known that Shen Ping would ask this. He turned his head and said, “The three of you can go down first.”

“Yes, Ancestor.”

After the royal star platforms left, Ancestor Ji was not in a hurry to answer Shen Ping’s question. He raised his head to look at the sky and slowly said, “All Star Ranks will have a vague feeling. When we reach the Star Palace, this feeling will be even clearer, and the Star Platform will know the exact direction of the Black Abyss.

” Since ancient times, all experts who have reached the Star Platform Realm will eventually head to the Black Abyss. However, the Black Abyss isn’t a place you can enter as you please. Only experts who have reached the second level of the Star Platform can enter.” Speaking of this, he said, “To be precise, the Black Abyss doesn’t exist in this world. It’s another world, or to be precise, a small world.”

Shen Ping’s face was filled with joy. The Black Abyss was actually a small world.

Ancestor Ji’s voice continued, “In this small world, time will pass very slowly, and the passing of lifespan will naturally slow down. A thousand years have passed outside, but only ten years have passed in the Black Abyss. The so-called slumber is actually just a euphemism to the outside world. After all, if those Star Platform Realm experts who have reached the end of their lives or even true Emperor Realm experts find out the truth, they will probably go crazy, especially those who can’t see hope. It’s very likely that they will completely destroy the world.”

Shen Ping was enlightened. So that’s the case.

Indeed, if a top expert could not see hope for the future, the possibility of him going crazy was very high. This was because he had lived for more than ten thousand years. They had long ignored family and friendship, let alone the world.

“Could it be that no expert has announced the truth?” He asked.

Ancestor Ji sighed. “Of course. Those experts who entered the Black Abyss and discovered that they had been deceived were unwilling and wanted to leave the Black Abyss before announcing the truth. Unfortunately, they could enter but not leave. Even if they could leave, they would be restricted.”

Shen Ping was stunned and could not help but say, “Ancestor Ji, does that mean that there are experts protecting the Black Abyss?”

Ancestor Ji glanced at Shen Ping. “That’s right. There are three factions in the Black Abyss. One is concerned about the world, another is like the Demon Emperor Black Dragon, who only cares about his own interests, and the third is a neutral faction. Fortunately, the faction that cares about the world has the upper hand and is generally stronger. You should be able to guess why.” Shen Ping blurted out, “The luck of the world?”

“Yes. Every expert who can reach the peak must have the luck of the world. Even in the BlackAbyss, this luck will not disappear. Therefore, no matter if it’s for their own benefit or if they really care about the world, they won’t allow anyone to announce the truth.

“This time, the Demon Emperor Black Dragon, me, and the sea demon are able to come out mainly because the ten thousand years period is coming. Every time this happens, special resources will appear, be it in the Black Abyss or outside, such as the Heaven’s Will Stone, the blood pool, and the things in the BlackAbyss.”

Ancestor Ji took a sip of spiritual tea and continued, “And the three of us represent three different forces. Our main goal is to rope in new experts. Even if you didn’t come to me, I would have come to you either late or late. The Demon Emperor Black Dragon should have come to look for you, right?”

Shen Ping nodded. “The Black Dragon Cult will assist me on the condition that I help the Demon Emperor Black Dragon after entering the Black Abyss.”

Ancestor Ji snorted. “The Demon Emperor Black Dragon only wants to use you.”

Shen Ping did not say anything. He would not believe Ancestor Ji’s one-sided words, nor would he believe the Black Dragon.

“I won’t fight with you for resources like the blood pool. However, regarding the territory, I hope that Sect Master Shen can slow down and wait for a hundred years. During this period, nominally, my Great Xia Dynasty will still rule the world, but in fact, the officials of the prefectures and the Demon Suppression Division can listen to your orders and you could dispatch them.

“In a hundred years, the Demon Emperor Black Dragon, I, and the sea demon will enter the Black Abyss again. After all, we don’t have much life span. Everyday we stay here will consume another day of our lifespan. A hundred years is the limit.”

Ancestor Ji stared at Shen Ping. Seeing that he did not immediately respond, he said, “Sect Master Shen, you will enter the BlackAbyss sooner or later, and the Jizhou must nurture new Star Platform experts. They cannot be weak, so you also need time.”

Ancestor Ji was right.

Shen Ping indeed needed time, but he did not want Jizhou to last for more than a thousand years like the Great Xia Dynasty. Instead, he wanted to improve himself. After all, the BlackAbyss was a place of great opportunities. He could not even deal with Ancestor Ji, let alone those stronger emperor-level experts.

“Okay. A hundred years. However, in ten years, our Jizhou will have to occupy another six provinces.”

Ancestor Ji smiled. “Sure.”

His goal was to prevent the Great Xia Dynasty from being destroyed in a hundred years, even in name. As for territory, he did not care.

After the negotiation, Ancestor Ji invited Shen Ping to admire the delicacies in the capital and even introduced the women of the royal family to him. Especially after hearing that Ji Ruyue was Shen Ping’s woman, he personally promised that he would immediately let Emperor Jian’an pass down the position to the side branch of Ji Ruyue’s line.

After leaving the Imperial City, Shen Ping pondered on the way back to Ji Province. He knew that Ancestor Ji was definitely hiding something, and his goal was definitely not just to rope in a new second level Star Platform expert. However, it was difficult for him to deal with the other party at the moment, so he could only stall for time. When the seven bloodlines fused into origin blood, his strength would definitely increase explosively.
