Chapter 286: The Attitude of the Supreme Throne (3)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before Shen Ping appeared, he was a core member of the Mountain Fire Hall. His status was outstanding and he was respected. However, everything had changed since this person appeared.
In the past, the two of them were still fighting for ranking on the Hidden Dragon Rankings, but now, the other party had already left him far behind. Moreover, the difference was like a chasm.
Until now, he completely understood that he would no longer be able to catch up to and surpass the other party. Unwillingness, disappointment, and other complicated expressions appeared in his eyes.
Li Yin unintentionally caught a glimpse of this scene. If it was in the past, he would be indifferent. However, it was already a foregone conclusion that Shen Ping had become the core of the Mountain Fire Hall. No one could move him. So when he saw Talisman Master Jing Yu’s emotions, he could not help but explain, “A cultivator’s mental state is rather important. There are some things that you don’t have to be too obsessed with. If you become obsessed, I’m afraid it will affect your future cultivation.”
Jing Yu said nothing. However, he lowered his head and left silently. His back gradually elongated under the sunlight, looking lonely and bleak.
Seeing this, Li Yin could not help but sigh. He had already said his piece. As for whether the other party would listen or not, it was up to him.
At the peak of the headquarters island.
The ethereal and magnificent halls were faintly discernible in the dense spiritual fog, like a peerless immortal realm.
Suddenly, space rippled. Several figures appeared in the hall. They were either wearing brocade jade robes or plain clothes.
“It’s only been a few years since we last met. Fellow Daoists, your auras have become more stable and thick. It seems that your cultivation has improved greatly!” The person on the left spoke calmly. Her voice was clear and sounded like a jade plate and pearl.
As soon as she finished speaking, one of the burly men said in a low voice, “There’s no need for pleasantries. 1 came here to ask about the background of Talisman Master Shen. Recently, this name has indeed appeared too often. 1 believe the other Fellow Daoists are the same. After all, we’ve been in seclusion all year round and have rarely heard of the outside world.”
“I’ve understood it a little. It’s said that this person is less than 100 years old, but his talent in the Dao of Talismans is extraordinary. He comprehended the final form of the first and second volumes of the beast form. The most important thing is the speed of his comprehension. It’s said that he only used four hours to comprehend the second volume.” The beautiful female cultivator in a thin veil slowly spoke.
What? The other two cultivators trembled slightly when they heard this. Their eyes flickered. Even though the Beast Form Volume was only the first level of the Beast Scripture, comprehending the second volume of the Beast Form in four hours and comprehending the final form was too monstrous.
At this moment, the female cultivator continued, “Today, Talisman Master Shen made another breakthrough. He rose from the original 65th place on the Glory Ranking to the 47th place. I believe both Fellow Daoists know what this means.”
The cultivator surnamed Tong slowly said, “The final form of the third volume’s Hoof and Claw Diagram.”
“That’s right.” The female cultivator looked over and said softly, “According to the information 1 know, this person has only been in contact with the third volume of the beast form for a few days.” She suddenly paused and did not continue.
The auras of the other two figures in the hall had already fluctuated violently. Thick magic powers surged with the three of them as the center and spread in all directions. The dense fog in the hall rolled and surged. The array patterns on the sleeve of the cultivator surnamed Tong lit up with spiritual light. As it flickered, it seemed to represent his heart.
No one spoke for a long time. The atmosphere was slightly oppressive and solemn.
“Looks like our True Treasure Pavilion has really produced an unprecedented monster.”
“I’ve been busy with my seclusion and breaking through these days. I’m a little unfamiliar with my skills. Fellow Daoists, please do as you please. I’ll take my leave first!” Suddenly, the cultivator who spoke first said indifferently. Then, with a spatial ripple, he stepped on the spot and disappeared.
After him, the cultivator surnamed Tong also wordlessly walked out of the hall. In the blink of an eye, only the beautiful female cultivator in a thin veil was left in the huge hall. She stood on the spot and shook her head helplessly. “I haven’t seen them for so many years, yet they’re still the same. They’re not honest at all. However, to be able to make these two feel pressured… Talisman Master Shen, 1 really look forward to what kind of surprise you will bring next.”
The white jade tower floated quietly at the core of the Ethereal Hall. More than ten throne phantoms surrounded it. Even though the light on the sixth level of the tower had long dimmed following Shen Ping’s failure, no one left. Their eyes, which were still staring at the sixth level, could not calm down for a long time. The scene of the hooves and claws descending repeatedly appeared in their minds.
“Hall Master Yueling, are you sure this little guy has only been in contact with the third volume for a few days?” A gentle voice suddenly sounded.
The gazes of more than ten phantoms gathered on Hall Master Yueling. Not daring to be negligent, Hall Master Yueling hurriedly replied respectfully, “Head Hall Master, it’s absolutely true. Talisman Master Shen indeed came to the headquarters before Daoist Yu of the Dan Hai Hall taught him the third volume of the beast form.”
The Hall Masters did not suspect anything. The importance of the Beast Scripture to the True Treasure Pavilion was self-evident. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the foundation of their foundation. The rules for imparting the scripture were very strict, and they were all recorded. Private impartation would not exist at all.
It was precisely because of this that they were so shocked.
There were a total of five volumes in the beast form.
Among them, the difficulty of the second to third volumes had clearly increased. It was a watershed for skill geniuses to comprehend. Usually, the core of the A, B, and C, D levels, would have a gap on this volume.
Even though they had long known about Shen Ping’s monstrous talent, the fact that he had comprehended the Greater Mastery of the final beast form of the Hoof and Claw Diagram in just a few days still refreshed their understanding of his talent..
