Chapter 370: A Hasty Five Years (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The only regret was that in the past five years, when he went to the Beast Spirit Pool to soak and absorb the blood essence of strange beasts, he did not condense the power of strange beasts again.

No matter how he activated the strange beast talent, it was useless.

Although it seemed that a wisp of the power of a strange beast contained a huge amount of energy that far exceeded the magic power of his Golden Core, he had not seen much consumption after cultivating day and night for five years to nourish his wife and concubine. However, there was only a wisp after all. It would continue to be consumed.

If the power of the strange beast disappeared in the future, then everything might return to square one.

Therefore, Shen Ping had been thinking about how to increase the power of the strange beast in the Golden Core all these years. He had even asked his master, but the Head Hall Master did not know either.

Boom!! Just as Shen Ping was looking at the virtual interface and thinking, waves of powerful and violent auras surged out from the quiet room not far away. Then, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered crazily.

In the blink of an eye, a huge spiritual qi vortex appeared in the sky above the Fire Spirit Hall. At the same time, specks of spiritual light appeared in the sky.

Swish, swish, swish.

Almost instantly, the members of the Mountain Fire Hall floated in the air and looked in the direction of the Fire Spirit Hall.

“This aura pressure… It seems like someone is condensing their Nascent Soul!”

“Other than Personal Disciple Shen, only Daoist Qiu has reached the Pseudo Nascent Soul Realm among his wives, concubines, and Dao Companions.

However, she’s still a few years away from the Nascent Soul Condensation Realm. Could it be Daoist Pei?”

“It’s definitely her. 1 heard that Perfected Pei had started cultivating in seclusion a few years ago. I never expected that she would actually condense her Nascent Soul today!”

“Junior Sister Pei is condensing her Nascent Soul. Looks like she’s about to succeed!”

Many cultivators of the Dan Hai Hall began to whisper.

Nascent Soul cultivators were nothing at the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion. Every few years, there would be members condensing their Nascent Souls. Therefore, other than the Mountain Flame Hall, the other halls did not pay attention to such a situation that caused the phenomenon.

In the Fire Spirit Hall.

Sensing the aura pressure, Shen Ping and his wife and Dao companions flashed into the courtyard.

“Sister Huoyu has condensed her Nascent Soul!”

Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Qiu Ying, and the other women looked in the direction of the quiet room. They were nervous and excited, but at the same time, there was a hint of envy. After all, this was the Nascent Condensation Celestial Phenomenon.

As long as she successfully crossed it, she would be able to enjoy a thousand years of life! In the mortal kingdom, a thousand years was enough to laugh at the pink skeletons and the vicissitudes of the world.

Many cultivators’ greatest wish in their lives was only to cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm.

Wang Yun and the others, who came from a remote area of the South Flame Continent, were even more in awe and looked up to Nascent Souls. Now that they saw Pei Huoyu condense her Nascent Soul with their own eyes, they naturally felt envious.

Shen Ping did not say anything. He clenched his fists tightly and felt a little nervous. “It will definitely succeed!” He thought to himself.

The Nascent Soul condensation process was filled with danger. The Mental Demon Tribulation was the strongest of all tribulations. When transcending the Mental Demon Tribulation, as long as it was something that one was afraid of, it would appear one by one. Only by winning could one safely cross it.

Time passed slowly. More and more spiritual light appeared in the sky. The spiritual energy gathered by the Level 7 spirit vein even condensed into spirit mist. In some places, it even condensed into spirit liquid that dripped into dew.

Tens of hours passed. Five-colored lights suddenly appeared in the sky above the Fire Spirit Hall.

Seeing this scene, Elder Huo Han, Li Yin, and the others revealed relaxed smiles. They knew that Pei Huoyu had already passed the most difficult period. “It’s going to succeed!” Shen Ping could not help but blurt out. His eyes were filled with joy. His wife, concubines, and Dao companions were also looking forward to it.

Not long after, spots of spiritual light gathered into a valiant and huge phantom. This phantom gave off an extremely strong spiritual pressure. However, except for Bai Yuying and Mu Jin who felt some heavy pressure, the others, such as Yu Yan and Qiu Ying, did not feel any pressure at all.

Psst. The shadow dissipated.

Pei Huoyu’s expression was calm. On the top of her head sat a small person who looked exactly like her. This was the Nascent Soul formed by cultivators. With this Nascent Soul, cultivators could truly leave their mortal bodies and not be restrained by their bodies.

The moment the Nascent Soul opened its eyes, Pei Huoyu, who had her eyes closed, opened them at the same time. Her valiant face revealed a look of joy. A few days later, Pei Huoyu, who had stabilized her Nascent Soul cultivation, walked out of the quiet room.

“Congratulations, Senior Pei, for successfully condensing your Nascent Soul!” “Congratulations, Senior Pei, for successfully condensing your Nascent Soul!” Shen Ping, his wife, concubines, and Dao companions congratulated her in unison.

“Husband,” Pei Huoyu looked at Shen Ping with a hint of shyness in his eyes. Although she had already done it with Shen Ping, this was the first time she had called him that in front of Wang Yun and Yu Yan.

Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Luo Qing, and the other women laughed. Then, they returned to the quiet room in a flash. They left this rare opportunity to be alone with Pei Huoyu.

“Congratulations.” Shen Ping took a few steps forward and smiled as he reached out to hug Pei Huoyu’s slender waist. At this moment, she no longer had that light armor. Her waist was soft and delicate.

Pei Huoyu leaned on Shen Ping’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “Husband, it’s been a few years since we last met. I miss you very much… 1 want to celebrate.”

How could Shen Ping not understand the meaning of these words? He did not hesitate at all. He hugged Pei Huoyu and flashed into the master bedroom. Soon, he began to ask her heart.

Dozens of days later, Shen Ping truly experienced how deep the thoughts of a Nascent Soul expert were and how rich their magic powers were. After dozens of consecutive Dao technique exchanges, he could not figure out the depths of Pei Huoyu’s strength.

Helpless, he could only put this matter aside for the time being and discuss Dao techniques with Perfected Lord Pei in the future.

It was almost noon.

He had just arrived at the entrance of Dan Hai Hall when the Holy Maiden, whose face was covered by a veil, went forward and bowed. “I heard that Personal Disciple Shen’s Dao Protector broke through to the Nascent Soul realm a few days ago. Congratulations!”

Shen Ping smiled and said, “Senior Ying is indeed well-informed.”

The Holy Maiden shook her head gently, “Personal Disciple Shen, you must be joking. Now, anything related to True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters is no secret. Ying Yue has been here for many years, so how can 1 not know?”

Shen Ping did not say anything. He knew that what the Holy Maiden said was the truth. Even though five years had passed since the Personal Disciple Ceremony, to many cultivators in the headquarters, five years was only a very short period of time in their cultivation. Therefore, as long as it was related to Shen Ping, news would basically spread very quickly.

“Personal Disciple Shen, after I accompany you to cultivate today, I’m prepared to leave the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion. I wonder if we can meet again in the future.” The Holy Maiden’s tone was a little down.

Shen Ping was stunned. “Senior Ying is leaving?”

“Yes. Our Moon Lotus Holy Sect was destroyed by Spring Garden three years ago. Me and the other disciples of the sect were able to live here for a few years thanks to Personal Disciple Shen. However… this place is not the Moon Lotus Holy Sect after all. It’s not convenient for us to stay here for long. Moreover, the sect has collapsed, but the Holy Sect still needs to be passed down!”

Shen Ping could not help but ask, “Senior Ying, where are you going?”

Honestly, all these years, the Holy Maiden’s performance had indeed been good. After the Moon Lotus Holy Sect was destroyed, her words and actions were no longer aloof with politeness as before. In her communication with him, she was mostly sincere and did not have a strong goal like before.

Although there was still not much progress between the two of them, Shen Ping’s impression of the Holy Maiden was much better. However, because most of his energy was focused on studying the golden mark technique left behind by the Immortal Dao expert, the Puppet Beast Scripture, and the Talisman Beast Scripture, he did not have the time to have a deeper interaction with the Holy Maiden.

But now, he suddenly heard that she was about to leave. He still felt a little regretful. After all, the Holy Maiden had one of the ten rare top physiques, and her appearance could be said to be devastating. She had a lot of experience in the theory of sex. No matter how one looked at it, she was suitable for a Dao technique spar.

“I haven’t decided yet.” The Holy Maiden said softly, “I’m most likely going to leave the Zhongsheng Continent and rebuild my sect in another state.”

“When are you leaving?”

“I’ll apply to leave tomorrow. After an inspection by the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion, 1 think I can leave in half a month.”

Shen Ping did not try to persuade her to stay. Instead, he remained silent.

The Holy Maiden took off her mask. “It’s Ying Yue’s blessing to be able to get to know Personal Disciple Shen. Regardless of whether we are fated to meet in the future, Ying Yue will remember Personal Disciple Shen.”

Shen Ping sighed softly in his heart. “There’s not much time left before the calamity of the five continents and four seas descends. If Senior Ying wants to leave, 1 hope you can be extremely careful.”

“Thank you for your reminder, Personal Disciple Shen..”
