Hall Master Ji continued, “The entire island has powerful restrictions. Only certain areas can fly, and most areas are not allowed to fly. However, you can use some Spell Thaumaturgy to increase your speed. In addition, the various halls in the headquarters have areas under their jurisdiction. Unless necessary, you are not allowed to step into the areas of the other halls.”
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Ping and reminded him solemnly, “Talisman Master Shen, you have to remember that this is the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion. There are various skill geniuses, Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation experts everywhere. Although you’re quite accomplished in the Dao of Talismans, your cultivation and strength are still low. If you step into the area of the other hall without permission and cause any conflict, I’m afraid an accident will happen.”
Shen Ping’s heart skipped a beat.
Indeed. The foundation of the core island of the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion was too powerful. With his Foundation Establishment cultivation here, he could not even be considered cannon fodder. Not to mention the higher-ups and core members of the twelve main palaces, even other skill geniuses who had also newly advanced could surpass him in terms of cultivation realm.
Moreover, there were also the veteran cores of the Glory Ranking. These were not things he could provoke. He had personally experienced the difficulty of the Talisman Dao Trial Space. He had only passed the fifth level after comprehending the final state. Even so, he was only ranked 65th on the Glory Ranking.
This was merely a technique in the Dao of Talismans. In terms of cultivation, in the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion, his pitiful strength as a Foundation Establishment cultivator was basically at the bottom.
If there was a cultivation realm ranking, Shen Ping would definitely be at the top.
Hall Master Ji continued, “Of course, Talisman Master Shen, you don’t have to worry too much. Although the rules are indeed so, you’re a skill genius on the Glory Ranking after all and your reputation is spread far and wide. The other halls have to give you some face when they see you and won’t make things too difficult for you. Moreover, with Huoyu by your side, I believe you can survive even if an accident happens.”
Shen Ping hurriedly said, “Thank you for telling me, Hall Master.” Then, he added, “Hall Master, don’t worry. I won’t cause trouble for the Mountain Fire Hall.”
He made up his mind. Once he arrived at the Mountain Fire Hall, he would cultivate steadily and not easily go elsewhere.
Hearing this, Pei Huoyu and Yu Yan could not help but smile. They all knew Talisman Master Shen’s personality. Especially Yu Yan. In a daze, she seemed to have returned to the dilapidated street of Cloud Mountain Parlour. She saw that middle-aged talisman master who would always visit her and invite her to go out. Although time had passed, this timidness and caution still flowed in his bones.
Therefore, Yu Yan understood that Shen Ping’s words were from the bottom of his heart.
They arrived at the exclusive long corridor of the Mountain Fire Hall. The core members of the Mountain Fire Hall, who had been waiting here for a long time, went up to welcome him.
“Greetings, Hall Master!”
“Greetings, Elder Huo Han!”
The members, including Li Yin, bowed in unison.
Hall Master Ji casually waved his sleeve and said, “Get up.” His voice was indifferent. His expression became even more dignified.
Although he was amiable in front of Shen Ping, that was because Shen Ping’s monstrous talent was worthy of his attention. However, in front of the members in the hall, Hall Master Shan Huo did not even look at them.
As he spoke, he walked towards the carriage at the end of the long corridor. This was a beast carriage drawn by a specially tamed demon beast. Its speed was extremely fast, and even on the ground, it was as if it was flying. Only the upper echelons and elders of the various palaces were qualified to ride it.
“Senior Li!” When Shen Ping saw Pei Huoyu’s senior brother, Li Yin, he hurriedly went forward and cupped his hands.
Li Yin smiled and nodded. “Talisman Master Shen, there’s no need to be so polite. You can cultivate in peace in the future after coming to the headquarters.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with white hair and beard walked over. “This must be Talisman Master Shen. Indeed, hearing is not as good as meeting in person.” He was wearing a white wide-sleeved robe, and his long white beard hung down. He was like a cultivator who had experienced the vicissitudes of time.
Li Yin introduced softly, “This is the chief deacon in the hall, Wang Yuanming. He’s in charge of all the matters in the Mountain Fire Hall, from resources to living. If you have any needs in the future, you can look for him to resolve them.”
Wang Yuanming had a warm smile on his face. He seemed to be deliberately expressing goodwill.
Although Shen Ping did not know the exact cultivation realm of the other party, since he could become a deacon, he must be powerful. He did not dare to be arrogant at all. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “New core disciple Shen Ping greets Senior Wang. I’m new here. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you in the future.”
Wang Yuanming was about to speak when Hall Master Ji’s voice sounded in front of the beast carriage, “Talisman Master Shen, follow me to the beast carriage.”
Wang Yuanming was stunned, and shock flashed in his eyes. Among them, the personal disciple of Mountain Fire Hall, Talisman Master Jing Yu, widened his eyes. He had never been invited by his master to ride a beast carriage. Even though Shen Ping’s reputation as a demon had long spread throughout the headquarters, and also knew that the hall masters had personally gone to recruit him some time ago, he did not expect it to be valued to such an extent.
The other members in the hall were also stunned on the spot. This was a hall master. The lowest cultivation level was at the late-stage Divine Transformation Realm. How glorious was it to be invited by such a powerful person to ride the beast carriage?!
For a moment, Shen Ping’s status in the hearts of Wang Yuanming and the others rose rapidly. As a result, they looked at Shen Ping’s wife, concubine, and Dao companions with more importance.
Shen Ping smiled bitterly in his heart. He really did not want to be in the limelight. But facing Hall Master Shan Huo’s invitation, how could he refuse? Furthermore, it was at the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion. Helpless, he could only bite the bullet and quickly step onto the beast carriage. “Let’s go back to the hall!”
His voice trailed off. The demon beast leading the beast carriage immediately let out a low roar and rode on the ground. Its speed was not fast, and it was even a little slow. Li Yin, Wang Yuanming, and the other cultivators could easily follow behind. Pei Huoyu, Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the rest could also follow slowly.
In the beast carriage, Hall Master Ji smiled and said, “Talisman Master Shen, 1 invited you to ride with me mainly to avoid unnecessary trouble in the hall in the future. You should know that there are factions in our Mountain Fire Hall. It’s inevitable that there will be hidden strife in the early stages, so I made this move.
“But don’t worry. My junior brother, Elder Huo Han, and I will solve the faction problem as soon as possible and let Talisman Master Shen cultivate here with all his heart.”
Shen Ping immediately said, “Hall Master, 1 understand your good intentions!”
Then, Hall Master Shan Huo began to introduce the surrounding halls and the overall situation of the island through the car window. The True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters island was divided into three areas.
In the lowest level, it was mainly because some pavilion-level factions lived here. They were in charge of dispatching the members of the boat-level factions to and from the branches of the five continents and four seas and dealing with all kinds of cumbersome matters.
The central region was the spacious area they were currently passing through. The members of the hall-level factions, high-level elders, and so on were all here.
The highest level of the Floating Spirit Peak was the twelve main halls. The Moon Spirit Main Hall that Shen Ping had once entered was a branch hall built under the Spirit Peak. One could only go to the main hall through this branch hall.
Listening to these situations, Shen Ping understood. The rules and levels of the True Treasure Pavilion were extremely strict. The treatment environment was also very different. And if he wanted to receive good treatment, he had to increase his skills, cultivation, and other strength.
Actually, be it Cloud Mountain Parlour, Qingyang City, or Linhai Immortal City, from the small wooden house to the courtyard, it looked like a house move, but in fact, it was a change brought about by his increase in strength.
Now, he was at the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion, one of the top factions in the five continents and four seas. If he went against the current, he was afraid that all of this would be a dream.
“I must do my best to obtain the Beast Scripture Inheritance!” Looking at the magnificent halls that the beast carriage passed by, Shen Ping was even more determined to cultivate in the future.
Far away from the path to the Mountain Fire Hall, there were many members looking at the beast carriage from all directions.
They had known for a long time. Today, Hall Master Shan Huo would bring the most monstrous Talisman Master among the new geniuses of the True Treasure Pavilion back to the headquarters.
It was the famous monster, Shen Ping, in the slowly advancing beast carriage.
“It’s the same Talisman Beast Scripture, but I haven’t even comprehended a trace of the final form of the beast form. This Shen Ping actually comprehended it to the Greater Mastery Realm. How did he comprehend it?!”
“His status is really high. He actually rode the same beast carriage as Hall Master Shan Huo. However, with this Talisman Master’s talent, he does have such qualifications.”
“To be able to comprehend the final form of the beast form in just four hours, it’s really admirable!”
“It’s lucky and sad to be in the same batch as such a demon-level genius..”
