“Since we’ve split up, the jade plate will belong to each person. As for these ten jade plates, we’ll split them first. How about that?” Immortal Venerable Qi suggested.
“Sure.”
“Agreed.”
There were a total of six Immortal Venerables present. They were Immortal Venerable Nanji, Immortal Venerable Qi, Immortal Venerable Yue, Immortal Venerable Yu, Immortal Venerable Yao, and Immortal Venerable Bing. The rest were Lian Xuejin and Lin Yu, the two True Immortals. Then it was Shen Ping, a total of nine people.
Therefore, Immortal Venerable Qi continued, “Shen Ping contributed the most among us. He obtained three jade plates. We, the Immortal Venerables, all obtained one of the remaining seven jade plates. Immortal Venerable Yao, you refined pills previously, so you should obtain another one.
The other Immortal Venerables thought for a moment and agreed. After all, there were ten jade plates. It was unreasonable for Immortal Venerables like them to distribute them. As for Lian Xuejin and Lin Yu, they did not contribute at all, so they were naturally ignored. The two of them had no complaints.
After distributing the jade plates, Immortal Venerable Yu and Immortal Venerable Qi both invited Shen Ping to search with them. Even Immortal Venerable Nanji and Immortal Venerable Yao invited him, but Shen Ping rejected them. He planned to go with his master.
The Immortal Venerables did not force him. If they really joined Shen Ping, it would also be a problem how to divide it. Now, they did not want to distribute the jade plate to others.
As the Immortal Venerables left, Lin Yu said with a bitter smile, “Fellow Daoist Shen, I wonder if I can explore with you. If I encounter a golden-purple spider creature, I don’t have the ability to kill it. So I don’t ask for the jade plate, I only want to obtain more beast blood’s essence.”
Shen Ping pondered for a moment and nodded. “Alright.” He had seen several golden spiders gathered in the cave through the Pupil of Sea Beast. If he had Lin Yu, he could more or less share the pressure and resolve it quickly. “This way.”
He randomly chose a tunnel. The three of them headed towards the depths. On the way, Lian Xuejin and Lin Yu used their puppets to scout the way, and during this period, Lian Xuejin sent a voice transmission. “Disciple, it shouldn t be so easy to obtain a Great Dao secret technique. You have to be careful. Those creatures’ illusion techniques are extremely powerful, so you have to be vigilant.”
The jade plate was indeed engraved with the Great Dao password, but the golden-purple spider had lost its illusion. Although it was still very difficult for other prodigies and Beast Spirit geniuses, this was too easy for Beast Spirits and Immortal Venerables who had come into contact with the Heaven and Earth Great Dao fluctuations and the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.
Shen Ping nodded in agreement. He guessed that there might be other tests inside.
The cave in the mountain peak was very deep. Immortal Venerables relied on their divine sense and other methods to investigate. On average, they could only find a golden-purple spider every half a month and obtain a jade plate. Shen Ping was very efficient. He had the Pupil of Sea Beast and did not need to take too many detours, so he could obtain ten jade plates in half a month.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
The strongest prodigies and Immortal Venerables of the other races had also arrived at the fourth level and arrived at the mountain range. There were a total of 20 mountain peaks in the mountain range. After Shen Ping and the others entered the first mountain peak, the other races could not enter anymore and could only go to the other mountain peaks. This meant that once the 20 mountain peaks had Beast Spirit geniuses, those who entered later would have no chance.
“There won’t be any golden-purple spiders alone in the future. Master, Fellow Daoist Lin, if we fight, you have to be careful.” Shen Ping reminded them. Although the golden-purple spider was easy to kill with its fluctuations, the golden spider silk was everyone. He could not deal with it at the same time.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m already very satisfied to have come this far.” Lin Yu said with a smile. During this period of time, he had followed Shen Ping to kill the golden-purple spider and obtained a lot of beast blood’s essence. Therefore, even if he was eliminated, he had gained much more than the others.
Several days passed. The three of them followed a relatively wide tunnel and arrived in front of the three golden-purple spiders. Before they attacked, he secretly gave his master a high-level defensive beast spirit treasure. Actually, Lian Xuejin was already very lucky to be able to reach this place. She wanted to refuse, but Shen Ping insisted, so she could only accept it.
Boom.
As soon as he attacked, the spider silk of the golden-purple spider creature quickly surged over from all directions. Lian Xuejin and Lin Yu shared the attention of the other two. Shen Ping carried the Primordial Chaos Spear and cut off the spider silk that was charging at him. Then, he instant transmitted to the spider creature and quickly killed it.
Although he was fast, Lian Xuejin and Lin Yu still could not withstand the entanglement of a large number of spider silk, especially Lin Yu. He only lasted for a few breaths before his body was wrapped into a cocoon by the spider silk, and his aura instantly melted. However, Shen Ping saw a gentle light surge out of the cocoon before it disappeared. It was this light that teleported him away. Clearly, he had been eliminated.
Shen Ping heaved a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn’t death, it was fine. Lian Xuejin also noticed this scene. When she saw Shen Ping teleport over to help her, she shook her head and said, “Disciple, I’ll be a burden if I continue to stay.” She stopped resisting and let the spider silk wrap around her body.
He watched as his master disappeared. Shen Ping couldn’t care less about being helpless. He hurriedly teleported and dodged the spider silk that surrounded him. A moment later, he obtained the three jade plates. Next, he searched for the golden-purple spider even faster and directly teleported. In less than a month, the jade plates in his hand reached a hundred.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
As the light patterns on the jade plate flickered, the translucent jade book became more and more solid. The Dao patterns on it were densely displayed. After the last line of Dao patterns was displayed, the jade book completely solidified.
Shen Ping raised his hand in joy and grabbed the jade book in his palm. However, as soon as the jade book landed in his palm, the Dao patterns on it disappeared. A faint golden light lock condensed on the surface. A large number of light spots quickly gathered to form a new road map.
“I knew it wouldn’t be that simple.”
He continued forward on the new road map. This road map led to the depths of the mountain. He traveled for half a month before arriving at the target point marked on the road map. This location was an altar covered in special patterns. The bronze cauldron floated in the middle of the altar. There were stone pillars nearby. From the patterns on the stone pillars, he guessed that he had to place the jade book of the Great Dao secret technique in the bronze cauldron to unlock the light lock of the jade book.
Besides this altar, there were 20 other altars in the surroundings.
“There are 20 mountain peaks in the mountain range, and there are also 20 altars here. Could it be that each mountain can only obtain one jade book?” A hundred jade plates could only condense one type of jade book. Although there were many golden-purple spiders in the mountain peak, there were definitely less than 200 in total. In other words, Shen Ping’s guess was right. This made him feel a little lucky. If not for the Pupil of Sea Beast and teleportation, he would not have been able to condense the jade book so quickly.
He walked in front of the bronze cauldron.
Out of caution,
He still used the Pupil of Sea Beast to check first. In the end, behind the bronze cauldron was the aura of the golden-purple spider. He was first stunned, then smiled bitterly. It turned out that the final test of obtaining the Great Dao secret technique was here. If he placed the jade book in the bronze cauldron without noticing anything, not only would he not be able to unlock the light lock, but he would also lose the jade book that he had painstakingly obtained.
Pfft!
After the Primordial Chaos Spear dealt with the golden-purple spider, the true altar appeared. It was not a bronze cauldron floating in the middle of the stone pillar, but a stone lock in the same shape as the light lock.
Only then did Shen Ping place the jade book under the stone lock. The light lock tightened and with a whoosh, the light lock instantly opened. Dao patterns flickered and appeared before gradually hiding.
It was done. He didn’t understand these Dao patterns and words, but he knew that he had obtained a Great Dao secret technique that led to the peak.
The stone lock disappeared and a purple door appeared.
Shen Ping was about to step into the door when he stopped. He looked at another altar in the distance and could not help but have an idea. Those bronze cauldron altars were transformed from golden-purple spiders, and he had a golden-purple spider. After these days of continuous infiltration by Soul Parasite, that clone already had the ability of a golden-purple spider. If he replaced it, he might be able to obtain another jade book!
Thinking of this, he teleported to another altar and dealt with the golden-purple spider. Then, he took out his clone and replaced it. After it was done, he stepped into the purple door again..
