Chapter 425: Resource Monopoly (2)

Swish, swish, swish.

The hundreds of members of the caravan flashed around the deck. Magic powers surged in their bodies, and immediately, the array formation of the entire flying ship bloomed.

Boom!

At this moment, more than ten black energy balls that were like flames in the mountain range not far away bombarded the flying ship. The fluorescent light shook and rippled, and the flying ship began to shake.

An Zhiyuan hurriedly said, “Pavilion Master, this is a probing attack by the demons. If the flying ship can’t even withstand this, they will rush over hke a swarm of bees. If it can withstand it, they will send experts to attack, but if they are no match for us, they will immediately escape!

Shen Ping narrowed his eyes and looked into the depths of the mountain range. His divine sense quickly swept out and easily extended to the surface of the mountain range. He saw that it was bare as if it had been burned by fire, and there were dense caves on the surface. Those black energy balls had been blasted out of the caves.

Just as his divine sense was about to seep into a black cave, he immediately frowned. His divine sense was actually contaminated by a dark and evil energy.

This energy was like maggots in the bones. Not only was it difficult to eliminate instantly after being contaminated, but one would also feel their divine sense being devoured and digested. It was very uncomfortable. He hurriedly retracted it and circulated the dark golden strange beast power in his dantian to quickly eliminate this remnant dark energy.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The flying ship was constantly attacked and held on for five minutes. Two powerful cultivators with soaring demonic energy attacked from both sides of the mountain range.

“It’s a Divine Transformation demon cultivator! Activate the array!” An

Zhiyuan’s voice shook.

The caravan was already experienced in dealing with the attacks of the demon cultivators. As magic power and a large number of spirit stones surged in, the spirit runes carved on the edge of the flying ship kept flickering. Waves of drumbeats sounded from these spirit runes, and spirit light quickly enveloped the entire flying ship.

If one looked from the outside, they would discover that the spiritual light

barrier was like a fish drum.

“Pavilion Master, these Divine Transformation demon cultivators usually only attack for ten minutes. With the array formation of the flying ship, it can definitely hold on!”

Shen Ping could not help but ask, “Why is that?”

An Zhiyuan replied, “The caravans that can withstand the attack of the Divine Transformation demon cultivators are all quite strong. Even if they break through the array formation defense in the end, they will have to consume a lot of energy. At that time, they will have to fight the caravan members and consume even more energy. This is not worth it to them. Of course, most of the time…”

As the two of them spoke, the demon cultivators increased their attacks. Compared to the human race, the Spirit Race, the Flame Race, the Winged Race, and other races, the demons usually used their powerful bodies to attack. In this aspect, they were similar to the devils, but the devils would also use their innate divine powers and use magic treasures. However, the demons trusted their bloodline bodies more.

Time passed bit by bit.

Shen Ping stood on the deck and watched quietly. As expected, as soon as the time was up, the two Divine Transformation demons turned around and prepared to leave when they saw that it was difficult to break through the array defense of the flying ship.

However, at this moment, a beast-shaped puppet rushed out of the array and jumped to the side of one of the demons at lightning speed. Its hooves and claws stepped over heavily. The demon did not even think about it and charged forward.

Bang! A huge force directly pierced through the demon’s body, and the energy containing the power of a strange beast quickly tore through the demon.

Although the demons were stronger than the devils and humans, when facing puppets above the sixth-stage, they were severely injured and fell to the ground. When the other demon saw this scene, he was first shocked, then he burned his bloodline to fight the beast-shaped puppet.

The black energy ball in the mountain cave blasted out again, targeting the beast-shaped puppet. Unfortunately, they had no idea how terrifying beast-shaped puppets were. In just a few breaths, the two Divine Transformation demons completely died.

“The recovery ability of the demons is extremely strong, but no matter how strong they are, it will take time.” Shen Ping put away the two demon corpses and said calmly.

An Zhiyuan, who was beside him, looked at the beast-shaped puppet enviously and hurriedly nodded. “Pavilion Master is right!”

“Let’s go!

Soon, with a flash of light, the flying ship flew past the Mountain of a Thousand Caves and headed towards Sword Seal City.

The cave in the Thousand Cave Mountain was very deep and connected in all directions. In a situation where it was difficult for divine sense to penetrate, it was relatively dangerous to rashly enter.

A few days later, they had arrived at Sword Seal City.

Standing on the flying ship and looking from afar, Sword Seal City was hke a wide Sword Seal Canyon. The steep peaks on both sides surrounded the city and spread deeper. However, compared to Qingyang City and Linhai Immortal City, which Shen Ping had once stayed in the five continents and four seas, this Sword Seal City was much smaller. However, it was still the number one cultivation city near the edge of the black fog.

There was a Flight Restriction Array near the city. The flying ship had stopped long ago. The caravan followed the wide stone path that was built towards the tall city gate.

Along the way, he could see all kinds of creatures coming and going through the city gate. Some devils even walked in their true forms, and there were also the Wood Clan. However, their bodies were deliberately contracted, and they were only slightly larger than humans.

“Before the appearance of the Myriad Spirit Ranking, although there were races, they were relatively vague. Sword Seal City was mainly dominated by sects and families. The other races were also attached to sects and families. After the Myriad Spirit Ranking, the division between races became more and more obvious. However, cultivators are different in strength after all. Although the human race is desolate, the sects and families are still very strong in Sword Seal City. Currently, only the devils and the Spirit Race can compete with them.”

Shen Ping listened to An Zhiyuan’s introduction and could not help but say, “The seniors of Sword Seal City are not weak. It shouldn’t be difficult to take care of Gray Stone City and other places, right?”

What he meant was that if a Divine Transformation cultivator like An Zhiyuan joined a sect or relied on the protection of his family, he would not struggle to survive among the various races.

An Zhiyuan sighed helplessly. “It was true in the early years, but in the past few thousand years, the sects and families near Sword Seal City have been shrinking their forces. The reason is that some of the Body Integration seniors don’t have much lifespan left. Moreover, the Devil Clan and the Spirit Clan have become stronger and stronger. They used sparring as a reason to find the Body Integration seniors to fight.

“As long as they fight, it will more or less affect their foundation. Once they are seriously injured, they will even lose their lifespan. Therefore, gradually, the Body Integration seniors almost all went into seclusion and won’t easily show their faces. The Jing family of Gray Stone City is actually vassal to the Yun family of Sword Seal City. But Pavilion Master, as you can see, the Jing family was destroyed by the Stone Tiger Clan, and the Yun family didn’t stand up for them!”

Shen Ping was silent. It was obvious that the sects and families of Sword Seal City were protecting themselves. This was because everyone knew that the strength of the Devil Clan, Spirit Clan, Flame Clan, Winged Clan, and other clans was increasing. Under such circumstances, the best way was to protect themselves.

Not long after, the caravan entered the branch of the True Treasure Pavilion. The encampment was not big. After all, this was Sword Seal City. It could be said that every inch of land was worth gold. Even the nearby sects and families would find it difficult to occupy much land in the city.

“Pavilion Master, rest for a while. I’ll contact that senior now!” In the evening, An Zhiyuan returned. He cupped his hands and said, “That senior will personally come to my True Treasure Pavilion the day after tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

The next day, Shen Ping did not cultivate in the branch shop. Instead, he strolled around with An Zhiyuan. There were only three main streets in the entire Sword Seal City. There were shops on both sides of the streets. Overall, it was no different from the cultivation cities of the five continents and four seas. The only difference was that there were a lot of shops. For example, the shops of the Flower Clan cultivators were completely like flowers.

Other than the shops, there were also all kinds of brothels. However, Shen Ping and An Zhiyuan were not interested. The shops they shopped in were mainly pill pavilions, artifact shops, and other places that sold items and resources. He only walked around a few times but he did not see any good items or materials. “Pavilion Master, most of the materials sold are materials below the sixth level. Those above the sixth level can only be encountered at auctions. It’s the same for our True Treasure Pavilion in Sword Seal City.”

Shen Ping knew that this was a resource monopoly. It was the same in the five continents and four seas. If Divine Transformation cultivators wanted to improve, they could only go to the Zhongsheng Continent. Here, Divine Transformation cultivators could only obtain resources to increase their cultivation at auction.

They shopped until noon, and Shen Ping was no longer interested. He returned to the True Treasure Pavilion and cultivated..
