Chapter 172: Discussion of the True Treasure Pavilion

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

June had just passed.

...

The Linhai Immortal City became hot. Although cultivators were not afraid of the cold and scorching sun, most cultivators would go to the Li River in the east to enjoy the scenery after being in seclusion for a long time or when they were free.

At this moment, in a flying ship on the river, a lively banquet was being held. The Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and other guest elders who were participating, as well as the elders, deacons, shopkeepers, and other members, raised their cups and drank heartily. After the initial unaccustomedness, they had gradually adapted to life in the Linhai Immortal City.

From the beginning of the banquet, there had been many cultivators who came to toast Shen Ping. After all, it was rare for a core member of the headquarters like him to participate in a banquet. The other guest elders naturally had to take this opportunity to appear and befriend him.

Finally, he found an excuse to walk to the deck to get some air. In the end, Elder Peng and Deacon Xia followed him.

“Guest Elder Shen, we have already reported the situation of the twelve countries to the Cave Division. A few days ago, they just replied that they wanted us to stay in the Linhai Immortal City for the time being. If the situation in the Wei Kingdom hasn’t stabilized in three years, the headquarters will send an envoy to interfere.”

Hearing Elder Peng’s words, Shen Ping could not help but look surprised. The True Treasure Pavilion spanned across five continents and four seas. Its power foundation far exceeded that of the twelve countries. If they really wanted to interfere, they only needed to send two Divine Transformation experts to descend. However, the goal of the True Treasure Pavilion had always been neutral. It would not participate or interfere with the local situation in any station area.

Why were they interfering this time?

Deacon Xia explained, “According to the information we gathered, the main reason for the turmoil in the Wei Kingdom this time is because the Golden Sun Sect’s Supreme Elder broke through to the Divine Transformation Realm. His strength has already surpassed the sects and factions of the twelve countries. Therefore, if Ancestor Jinyang doesn’t take the initiative to go to the Zhongsheng Continent in a few years, not only will our True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters send people over, even the other top sects in the Zhongsheng Continent will send experts.”

Shen Ping said in surprise, “In that case, all Divine Transformation cultivators outside the Zhongsheng Continent can’t stay long?”

“Yes. This is the rule set by the top sects and factions of the Zhongsheng Continent. In the past, Old Ancestor Blood Crocodile was dissatisfied and died.

“Previously, Ancestor Jinyang did not appear and attack. It was not easy for us to judge. It was only after a Nascent Soul cultivator invited by the Danxia Sect was ambushed and severely injured that we deduced this. Before we left, we also obtained some confirmation.”

Elder Peng and Deacon Xia smiled and nodded.

Shen Ping came to a realization. No wonder Perfected Pei said that as long as he was not in the Zhongsheng Continent, she had the ability to protect him. So that was the reason. However, he still felt puzzled because Matchmaker Ceng of Spring Garden had long told him that Ancestor Jinyang had broken through to the Divine Transformation Realm.

In that case, why didn’t Spring Garden send anyone to inform Ancestor Jinyang about the things he had to abide by when he was at the Divine Transformation Realm?

After some thought, he asked this question.

Elder Peng pondered and said, “Spring Garden has always been unconventional. Moreover, the rules that Divine Transformation cultivators can’t stay outside the Zhongsheng Continent for long have been passed down until now. Very few cultivators know about it. Only when they break through to the Divine Transformation Realm and reveal or affect it will the Zhongsheng Continent send experts to descend. Fellow Daoist Xia and I only learned this news when we applied for the headquarters’ assistance.”

Shen Ping finally understood. To put it bluntly, the rules set by the top factions of the Zhongsheng Continent were almost useless now. It was fine as long as a Nascent Soul cultivator broke through to the Divine Transformation Realm. However, if they interfered, the factions of the Zhongsheng Continent would interfere.

Even more so, if the Zhongsheng Continent did not know that there were Divine Transformation cultivators in the five continents and four seas, this Divine Transformation cultivator could continue to stay for a long time.

Rules may initially be strictly enforced, but over time they become more and more lax.

“In that case, no matter what the situation in the Wei Kingdom is in three years, it will stabilize.”

“That’s right. With the interference of our True Treasure Pavilion and the top factions of the Zhongsheng Continent, no matter how ambitious Ancestor Jinyang is, he has to lower his head. Once Ancestor Jinyang leaves, the situation in the Wei Kingdom will quickly stabilize. At that time, the main garrison of the Wei Kingdom and the other countries will recover.”

As Elder Peng spoke, he looked at Shen Ping and said, “Guest Elder Shen, although the Linhai Immortal City is safe and stable, the Wei Kingdom is still your homeland. If you miss it, Guest Elder Shen can return and stay for a while.”

Shen Ping cupped his hands and smiled. “Definitely.”

They chatted for a while more. The two of them left and returned to the building to continue tasting wine. Soon, Chong Ji walked out and handed Shen Ping a cup of spirit wine. He raised his head and drank it in one gulp. “In two days, I plan to bring my disciple to the depths of the Yulin Mountain Range to sharpen myself. As a battle cultivator, I can’t always live in this comfortable city.”

Shen Ping took a sip of wine and took out two Level Three Shield Spirit Talismans from his storage bag. He smiled and said, “Senior Chong, I’m still waiting to attend your Core Formation banquet. When the time comes, take out all the good wine. Don’t be stingy.”

Level Three talismans were expensive. Especially the Shield Spirit Talisman with powerful defense, its value was no less than a magic treasure. Even if a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator attacked with all his might, he could hold on for a long time.

Chong Ji was a second-grade guest elder at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm. He earned a lot of spirit stones every year, but he also spent a lot. This time, he had only prepared a Shield Spirit Talisman for his trip to the Yulin Mountain Range.

But now, he looked at the two Shield Spirit Talismans that were handed over. Chong Ji smiled and shook his head.” Talisman Master Shen is indeed a core member, but this talisman…”

He was only halfway through his tactful rejection when Shen Ping interrupted him. He changed his address and said seriously, “Fellow Daoist Chong, we’ve been friends for many years. Take these Shield Spirit Talismans as a gift for your Core Formation in advance. What do you think?”

Chong Ji was moved. He was a straightforward person to begin with. Seeing that Shen Ping had already said so much, it would be pretentious to reject him again. After all, the Shield Spirit Talisman was a life-saving item. He was in urgent need of this talisman if he wanted to go to the Yulin Mountain Range.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, I’m not good with words. I won’t say any pleasantries. If you need anything in the future, feel free to tell me.”

Zhongsheng Continent.

True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters

Dong!

A melodious and dull bell sounded. Waves of special voices instantly spread to every majestic palace. Ten minutes later, it floated in the sky in a hall that seemed to be in the depths of another space.

Whoosh.

Dozens of phantoms slowly appeared. Every one of them was a Hall Master-level expert of the True Treasure Pavilion.

“There’s news from the Heavenly Inspection Platform. Recently, the barriers of the five continents and four seas have fluctuated. It seems to be caused by an array formation.” A gentle voice that sounded like the spring wind and rain sounded in the hall.

Every phantom looked at the core of the throne.

“The barrier has been stable for so many years. The array formation that can trigger its fluctuations can’t be underestimated. 1 think we have to discuss this with the Tai Yan Sect, the Moon Lotus Holy Sect, and the other sects to find the source. The barrier of the Five Continents and Four Seas is very important. I’m afraid there’s a secret plan behind it.”

“Hmph, it must be those lunatics from Spring Garden.”

“That’s right. Spring Garden has been very active in recent years and has done some shameful and dirty things. This matter is very likely their doing.”

Several Hall Masters spoke one after another.

A gentle voice sounded again. “If it’s really Spring Garden, I’ll go and meet its master. However, regardless of whether it’s true or not, the impact of the barrier fluctuation is huge. Our True Treasure Pavilion needs to be prepared to deal with any possible changes.”

At this moment, a Hall Master said, “Looking at the time, in 50 years, it will be the year of the sun. Since we’re preparing, I suggest that we test the research items of the True Treasure Pavilion as soon as possible and devote resources to nurturing the core.”

A Hall Master shook his head. “The distribution of resources between the various halls has always been balanced. If it is tilted rashly, it will affect the operation of the True Treasure Pavilion.”

“You’re being too serious. It’s just nurturing the core. How many resources can it consume?”

“That’s right. For us, the fluctuation of the barrier is the most important thing.”

“I don’t think so…”

The Hall Masters either agreed or questioned. After all, the distribution of resources involved the core interests of the various halls. Even the slightest inclination could not help but fight for it.

A gentle voice came from the core of the throne. “Since this matter is controversial, let’s discuss the decision in the hall.”

Linhai Immortal City. In the small courtyard of Yongyang Market.

Boom.

Waves of magic power pressure suddenly surged from the west wing of the day. In an instant, it spread and enveloped the entire courtyard.

Pei Huoyu frowned slightly and waved her hand gently. Her magic power aura quickly spread and resisted this magic power pressure. The wife and concubines immediately relaxed. They all looked in the direction of the west wing.

Shen Ping’s magic power only stagnated a little, and he did not feel any other discomfort. However, at this moment, he revealed a happy expression. Daoist Qiu had not let him down. After consuming the Hundred Chen Blood Channel Flower, she finally broke through to the late-stage Golden Core realm.

Once she took this step, it meant that Perfected Qiu was only a step away from the Pseudo Nascent Soul Realm. The magic power pressure lasted for a few days before slowly dissipating.

Not long after, Qiu Ying, who was wearing a purple-brown palace dress and had a charming and graceful aura, walked out of the room. Her eyes were filled with joy and excitement. The bottleneck of the late-stage Golden Core realm had stopped her for a long time. She thought that there was no hope in her life. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Shen Ping.

“Husband!” Qiu Ying flashed in front of him with a gentle expression.

Shen Ping smiled and stretched out his arms. Soon, this beautiful figure fell into his arms. Pei Huoyu, who was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, looked at this scene and helplessly used her magic powers to block her six senses. She knew that this Talisman Master Shen was going to start causing trouble again.

His wife and concubines sighed one after another. They hoped that it would not be too long. After all, there were still a few mouths waiting to eat and live in the small courtyard..
