Chapter 722: Do You Dare to Battle? (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

In the depths of the palace of the Imperial City, two Star Platforms and a newly promoted Star Platform clan stood respectfully in front of the Great Xia Dynasty’s Ancestor and recounted in detail what had happened in the past hundred years.

“in that case, the greatest threat to our Great Xia Dynasty now is not the rebel army from the various provinces, but the branch sect leader of the Demon God

Cult in Jizhou City?”

The Great Xia Dynasty’s Great Ancestor looked at the dossier. “Interesting. He was born less than 200 years ago in Jizhou, but he was able to break through to the Star Platform. In the past hundred years, the prodigies that appeared were actually born at the same time as him. Is this a coincidence?”

One of the Clan Star Platforms hurriedly said, “Ancestor, we previously guessed that these geniuses might very well be the legendary Heavenly Descendants. In the ancient legends, only Heavenly Descendants could open the door to the world and walk the path to eternal life. However, after a period of observation, other than their aptitude and talent, there’s nothing special about them.”

The Great Xia Dynasty’s Ancestor said, “There are also differences between the Heavenly Descendants. Perhaps there are differences in this Sect Master Shen.

Otherwise, how could he reach this stage in such a short period of time? If I woke up later, I’m afraid it would be very difficult to suppress him. But even now, it’s difficult for me to deal with him.”

The expert could not help but ask, “Even the Old Ancestor can’t do anything?” “There is a way, but the price is too high. If not for the restrictions of the Black Abyss, with my strength, I would naturally be able to easily take him down.” The Great Xia Dynasty’s ancestor sighed. “Our Great Xia has been established for a thousand years. From the previous dynasties, a thousand years is a threshold. This time, I’m afraid there won’t be an exception. We’re destined to become stepping stones for the new dynasty. No matter how unwilling we are, we have to follow the trend.”

The expressions of the three Star Platforms changed. The newly promoted Star Platform said, “Ancestor, are we really going to hand over this land to others?

“Hmph.” Great Xia’s Great Ancestor glared at the Star Platform. “Strength is the foundation. What’s the use of 10,000 miles of territory? However, territory is related to the dragon blessing of our Great Xia. Even if we want to disappear, we can’t do it too quickly. Immediately arrange for the suppression of the rebels from the various provinces. If necessary, you can do it yourself.

“Yes, Ancestor.”

In Year 21 of Jian An, the royal family led the most elite Longwu Guards to the various states to suppress the rebels. However, they encountered tenacious resistance from the aristocratic families of the various states. After losing more than half of their elites, they finally dealt with the rebel army that had emerged. The Demon Suppression Division was rebuilt, and the aristocratic families of the various states submitted.

For a moment, the world seemed to have returned to calm. Five years passed, and the rebel army rose again. In the same year, the Jizhou Army, which had been preparing for five to six years, moved out. In less than five months, they had annexed three provinces.

Seeing that Jizhou had fallen out with them, the imperial family used the Longwu Guards again. Before they could reach Jizhou, the Longwu Guards were completely wiped out, shaking the world.

Emperor Jian’an looked at the commander of the Longwu Guards and said angrily, “Trash, all of you are trash. I spent countless resources nurturing you for so many years, but you can’t even defeat a small prefecture army. How can you have the face to come back?!”

The commander of the Longwu Guards lowered his head, his face filled with shame. An expert from the clan walked over and frowned. “What’s going on? Although the Longwu Guards have not been on the battlefield for many years, they have just suppressed the rebels from the various provinces a few years ago.

It can be considered a tempering. How did they lose to the newly established Jizhou Army?”

The commander of the Longwu Guards hurriedly said, “The Jizhou Army is filled with elites. Their strength is even higher than our Longwu Guards. Not only have they all reached Rank 5, but there are also more than a thousand Star Rank cultivators and more than twenty Star Palace cultivators.

Emperor Jian’an and the Clan Star Platform experts were stunned. “Impossible!!” Emperor Jian’an waved his sleeve and scolded angrily, This must be your excuse. The Jizhou Army has 30,000 people. It hasn’t even been seven years since it was established. How can everyone reach Rank 5? Our Great Xia has nurtured the Longwu Guards for so long, but there are only 20,000 Rank 5 Generals, and only a few hundred Star Rank guardians.”

The commander of the Longwu Guards said, “How can I dare to lie?!

The Clan Star Platform expert stared into his eyes. “What you said had better be true. Otherwise, even I won’t let you off. Guards, take him down.

After a secret investigation, they confirmed that what the commander of the Longwu Guards said was actually true. After obtaining the information from Jizhou, even the Great Xia Dynasty’s ancestor was shocked.

“In just a few years, he has nurtured so many elites. Even if there are support resources from the Demon God Sect, it’s impossible. Unless this Shen uses the blood pool to nurture them. However, the blood pool is so precious. No one would use the blood pool. Investigate. No matter what price we have to pay, we have to find out what method the other party used!”

Of course, Shen Ping did not use the blood pool, but the blood beads that he had refined with his devouring talent. The Star Realms had been secretly nurtured by the Lizard Sect for more than a hundred years. A portion of the Star Palace realm came from the Black Dragon Sect, the Nangong family, and other aristocratic families.

In the City Lord Manor, Chen Bin said excitedly, “Sect Master, after this battle ends, my Jizhou’s reputation will spread far and wide. I believe it will be easier to conquer other provinces. Those aristocratic families will also secretly join us.

In addition, I’ve already sent people to every county headquarters, including the countryside, to search for the blood pool on a large scale. In a few days, there will be news.”

Elder Yan hurriedly added, “I’ll also send people to search the depths of the various mountains.”

Shen Ping said in satisfaction, “Not bad. As long as you can find the blood pool, each of you will take credit.”

To him, contributions represented blood beads. The speed of cultivation after swallowing the blood bead far exceeded other resources, so it naturally made the two capable subordinates happy.

Half a month later, two blood pools had been discovered in the newly occupied three prefectures. They had both been born not long ago. This made Shen Ping even more convinced of the connection between the territory and the blood pool. Therefore, he instructed Chen Bin and Elder Yan to speed up the capture of the other prefectures.

He began to refine and absorb the blood pool. According to the effect of the blood pool he had obtained in Jinzhou last time, a blood pool could increase the power of a bloodline by more than 5%- Coupled with the Blood Bead he had obtained from killing the Star Platform, it could basically increase one to the second level.

Currently, he still has five bloodlines left. He had four Star Platform Realm blood beads, two of which were wind-elemental, so the demand for the blood pool was quite large.

“Yao’er, if a Star Platform expert makes a move, you can interrupt my seclusion.”

Before he went into seclusion, he instructed solemnly. The competition for territories was mainly a battle between the armies under his command. Under normal circumstances, the Star Platform experts would not take action. Shen Ping had actually broken the rules by killing the two Star Platforms of Yunzhou and Jianzhou. However, he was powerful, and the other Star Platforms did not dare to say anything. It was different when facing the dynasty. If he continued to break the rules, that dynasty’s ancestor would definitely not follow the rules.

“Yes, husband.”

Apart from Nangong Yao who was in charge of the affairs of the various states, Lian Nishang, Ling Yu’er, Ji Ruyue, and Ling Qing also went into seclusion to absorb the blood pool.

In the blink of an eye, more than three years passed.

In the first month of Year 30 of Jian An, Shen Ping slowly opened his eyes. The metal, fire, and wind attributes in his body had all been upgraded to the second level of the Star Platform. He was only lacking the earth and lightning bloodlines.

After continuously absorbing the blood pool, he finally understood that the fusion of origin blood was indeed related to the blood pool. As long as he accumulated more energy from the blood pool in his body, the faster the fusion of the various bloodlines would be. It was equivalent to the blood pool being a glue catalyst that could maximize the fusion of the various bloodlines.

Of course, even without the blood pool, he could slowly fuse it with his mastery of the various bloodlines. However, that would require tens of thousands of years of accumulation.

He looked at the Black Abyss. His eyes flickered with anticipation. “Black Abyss. It’ll be soon, I’ll be able to head to the Black Abyss in another hundred years at

most!”

He stood up and walked out of the quiet room. Shen Ping’s figure gradually disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already floating above the Imperial Dynasty. He looked into the depths of the Imperial Dynasty and said calmly, “Ancestor Ji, do you dare to come out and fight?”
