Chapter 726: Preparations Before Entering the Black Abyss |
(2)
The advancement of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was extremely difficult.
Even immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables had to spend countless years. For example, among the Immortal Venerables of the human race, the most outstanding Immortal Venerable Yao had only comprehended 60% of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. It was already very outstanding for Immortal Kings to generally reach 30 to 40%.
Now, Shen Ping had fused with the origin blood in the green hall world. It had increased to 30% in an instant, surpassing most immortal kings. If news of this improvement spread, it would definitely make all the immortal kings go crazy. “Opportunity, this is a great opportunity!”
Shen Ping was extremely excited. Even if he could not obtain the great opportunity of the Black Abyss, with such an improvement, this trip was not in vain. Before he was reincarnated, he had the enhancement of the True Book of Dao Origin, the Strange Beast Gate, and the time acceleration of the World Pearl, even so, it was very difficult for him to cross the threshold of entry. But now, he has improved so much in just nearly 300 years.
“That Ancestor Ji is only half as good as me in terms of metal, water, and earth bloodlines, but he’s not at a disadvantage. My seven bloodlines have all reached 30% of the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. I can suppress him with just one bloodline!”
The true emperor-level of the third level of the Star Platform was only 20% of the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Only the legendary God Realm could reach more than 30%.
Therefore, after fusing with the origin blood, Shen Ping could already be considered to have stepped into the God Realm. Although his strength had soared, he did not feel that he was invincible. After all, through his conversation with Ancestor Ji, he knew that there were many ancient experts living in the Black Abyss. Among these experts, there was no lack of experts who could compare to the God Realm or even become the God Realm.
He walked out of the quiet room. He called Chen Bin over and instructed, “Pass down the order. From tomorrow onwards, the Jizhou army will move out and completely overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty.”
Now, the entire Jizhou was waiting for this order. If they could establish a country, they would be the founders. They would be able to follow the new dynasty for a thousand years.
After giving the instructions, Shen Ping went straight to the headquarters of the Black Dragon Cult in the sea.
The Demon Emperor Black Dragon materialized and looked at Shen Ping. He said with an unfriendly attitude, “Sect Master Shen, you really shouldn’t believe that old ghost Ji’s words and give him a hundred years of national luck.” Shen Ping said indifferently, “Since Senior Black Dragon knows Ancestor Ji’s goal, why didn’t you tell me?”
The Demon Emperor Black Dragon snorted and said, “I’ve already helped a lot by getting the Black Dragon Cult to assist Jizhou. Why should I tell you about the rest?”
Shen Ping raised his hand and activated the power of heaven and earth. “Shen, don’t think that I’m afraid of you. I’m just too lazy to waste my energy!” The Demon Emperor Black Dragon roared angrily. Without thinking, it also activated the power of heaven and earth. However, as soon as it condensed the power of water, it felt a huge pressure of heaven and earth. Just the pressure alone destroyed the power of water. Its eyes widened. “T-This is impossible. Y- You’ve stepped into the Divine Realm?!”
Its words were filled with disbelief and shock. Other than the ancient era, the other experts, even the peerless expert who had suppressed the era, had not broken through the threshold of the emperor-level. Only by entering the Black Abyss did they have such hope. Even now, it was very difficult to step into the emperor-level. For example, the ancestor of the Xia Dynasty had relied on the luck of the world to reach the second level of the Star Platform.
Bang!
The monstrous lightning domain pressed down. The Demon Emperor Black Dragon recovered and hurriedly said, “Sect… Sect Master Shen, this is a misunderstanding. It’s not that I’m unwilling to tell you, but it’s difficult to say it because of the restriction of the Black Abyss oath.”
When Shen Ping heard this, he retracted the pressure of the Lightning Domain and continued, “In that case, apart from roping in the new second level of the Star Platform, you, Ancestor Ji, and that sea demon expert have other motives.” “That’s right.” The Demon Emperor Black Dragon hurriedly said, “The specifics are related to the Black Abyss. Every 10,000 years, not only will there be rare resources like the Heaven’s Will Stone and the blood pool, but there might also be an opportunity related to the source of our bloodline cultivation. As for what opportunity, I really can’t say.”
Shen Ping came to a realization. If he was not wrong, they should be looking for origin blood, or rather, people with seven bloodlines. Fortunately, he did not expose his seven elements. The Demon Emperor Black Dragon and Ancestor Ji might have guessed something, but it did not matter now.
After entering the Divine Realm, the only thing he was afraid of were the ancient experts in the Black Abyss. There was really nothing left that he cared about.
“Black Dragon, is this opportunity related to the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty?” Seeing that Shen Ping had guessed something, the Demon Emperor Black Dragon nodded repeatedly. Next, Shen Ping asked about the information in the Black Abyss, including the strength of those ancient experts, before returning to Jizhou. He did not kill the Demon Emperor Black Dragon. It was still useful to keep him alive.
After nearly a hundred years of training, the Jizhou Army had astonishing strength. When Chen Bin led the army out, it swept through the four provinces in less than two months. The remaining prefecture aristocratic families surrendered one after another. However, these aristocratic families exploited places too heavily, so Nangong Yao did not accept them. Instead, she uprooted them and resolved the local problem once and for all.
They discovered another blood pool, and after refining and absorbing it, Shen Ping immediately sensed that the enhancement effect of the blood pool on him was minimal. It seemed that after gathering the origin blood, it had already resisted the energy of the blood pool to a certain extent.
“Nishang, Yao’er. Don’t deal with the affairs of the various states first. Put down the things in your hands and let others do it. Focus on cultivation and absorb the energy of the blood pool. Break through to the Star Platform Realm as soon as possible!”
Since the blood pool had no effect, he had already made preparations to go to the Black Abyss. Before that, he had to nurture Lian Nishang, Ji Ruyue, and the others to the Star Platform Realm. Their strength could not be low either. Only then could he ensure their safety.
“Yes, husband.”
Although they were all his women, Shen Ping was still biased towards Lian Nishang. He gave Lian Nishang more energy from the blood pool he had refined and also prepared three blood beads for her.
“Nishang, the blood pool is very important to you. You must do your best to refine it and comprehend the power of heaven and earth!
The reincarnations of Immortal Kings, Immortal Venerables, and of Venerable Sovereigns could step into the Star Platform as long as they were given enough time. Lian Nishang was different. She was only at the True Immortal Realm. Her potential was at the limit of the Star Palace. Even with the Heaven’s Will Stone, she might not be able to break through to the Star Platform.
She could only rely on the blood pool.
Shen Ping was not too confident in his heart. However, if she missed this opportunity, it would be very difficult for her to comprehend the power of heaven and earth before becoming an immortal king in the future.
“Brother Shen, Nishang won’t let you down.”
Lian Nishang still liked to call him Brother Shen. She could clearly feel the importance in Shen Ping’s words, which made her very happy.
The faces of the three experts darkened. One of them scolded Emperor Jmg’an angrily, “What trash. Why didn’t you receive the news in advance that the Jizhou Army was on the move? You’re that person’s nephew.” Emperor Jing’an did not dare to breathe loudly. Even though he was the emperor, even the direct descendants did not dare to refute the Ancestor of the clan. Ancestor Ji, who was sitting at the top, glanced at Emperor Jing’an and wavedhishand. “You can leave!”
Emperor Jian’an could only leave. “Ancestor, you promised Shen Ping a hundred years. It’s not time yet, but he sent out the army. Clearly, he doesn’t want to wait anymore.” How could Ancestor Ji not know this? However, he could not take the initiative to look for Shen Ping. At that time, the agreement was only verbal. After so much time, the other party’s strength must have increased. Otherwise, he would not be in such a hurry to take action.
Fortunately, over the years, the Imperial City had made preparations. “Order all the Demon Suppression Divisions and the local troops stationed to retreat to the Imperial Capital and prepare to defend the Imperial Capital to the death. With the foundation of our Imperial Family and the meticulous nurturing over the years, I believe that we will definitely be able to defend the Imperial Capital. As long as we safeguard it for ten years, it will be considered a success.”
When the three Star Platform experts heard about ten years, they couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Ten years was still very easy.
Half a year later, the Jizhou Army had completely occupied all the provinces other than the Imperial Capital. They were only one step away from unifying the world and breaking through the Imperial Capital.
His subordinates, including Chen Bing, were extremely excited. Some of them even asked for the country’s name in advance.
