Chapter 967: I’m No longer the Same as Before (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations

If he wanted to leave the realm, he had to have a star map. Otherwise, he would be lost in the extremely dark Realm Sea. It was the same for the two Venerable Sovereigns of the human race, Hei Tian and Ling Yun. There was no news of them until now. If they had not been lost, the human race would not have fallen to such a state.

Although Shen Ping had absorbed the memories of the puppet when it was alive and had a clearer understanding of the Endless World, he did not have a star map near the immortal Dao territory. Fortunately, the Emperor of the Dead, Lord Yin, had one. Back then, when the owner of the Realm Sea Peak came here, he had drawn a detailed star map and even hid one of the red authority bracelets outside the realm.

Lord Yin passed the location to Shen Ping and instructed, “It’s been so long. The red authority bracelet might have been taken away by other experts. You have to be mentally prepared. Back then, Master also considered this. It’s a test in itself.

“Besides, if the purple bracelet can get here, the chances of the red bracelet not being there are extremely high. Of course, even with the red bracelet, the test set by the master will be difficult. You have to be mentally prepared.” At this point, it reminded him, “Other than green and blue, the rest of the bracelets can only be obtained after you reach the level above the Venerable Sovereign. Do you understand?”

Shen Ping’s expression was solemn. The difficulty of the green and blue ones was actually very high. He had the virtual interface, so it was much simpler. However, the other three were outside the realm. Clearly, the difficulty set by the Realm Sea Peak’s owner was at least at the Venerable Sovereign level, let alone obtaining them.

If he had not obtained the purple bracelet in advance, he could not even enter the palace world freely now.

“Lord Yin, I understand. I’ll be careful!”

Although he had obtained a detailed star map, Shen Ping was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he returned to the immortal Dao territory first.

A few months later, Shen Ping sat on a bench in the pavilion, surrounded by his wives and concubines. Now, all of them have reached the Golden Immortal realm. Ying Yue arrived here hundreds of years ago. Among them, Ying Yue, Yue Lingluo, Pei Huoyu and Yu Qingling had the highest cultivation levels. They were already at the seventh level of the Golden Immortal realm.

Relying on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and the Great Dao treasures on them, they were enough to fight against late-stage Mystic Immortals. He looked at his extraordinary wives and concubines with a smile on his lips. Wasn’t he doing everything he could to kill the expert from the outer realm for their safety? But to be really safe, he had to continue working hard and not relax at all, especially when facing the experts of the Endless World. He had to have enough strength.

“Husband, the number of foreign immortal kings in Northern Ice City has been increasing recently. In the past, late peerless immortals were rarely seen in the foreign race battlefield, but over the years, the chances of peerless immortals appearing have increased. However, the destruction of the Devil Clan and Flame Clan’s immortal city some time ago intimidated them so much that they didn’t dare to come out.”

“It’s just that the number of immortal kings is still increasing. It’s not just the four great pinnacle races. The immortal kings of the other powerful races have also come.”

“Fortunately, Immortal Venerable Yao is holding down the fort. Otherwise, those immortal kings might have started a large-scale war at the border!”

Listening to Wang Yun and Yu Yan’s report, Shen Ping nodded. Last time, he had controlled the puppet to destroy the immortal cities of the Devil Clan and the Flame Race at the border with two spears. He had killed more than ten immortal kings and many peerless immortals. He had thought that the Devil Clan and the Flame Race would stop, but they did not give up.

Perhaps those few experts were nothing to the four pinnacle races and many powerful races. The main reason he came back this time was to resolve this matter.

To put it bluntly, the Devil Clan, Spirit Race, and other races wanted to test Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong. However, after the expert from the outer realm broke through the array, they would not start a war between races. The probing would just become more and more frequent. Otherwise, they would not let those powerful races join in.

“Yan’er, Yun’er, Ying’er… You don’t have to worry. I already have the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign. The foreign race battlefield is no longer a problem.”

As long as the human race had a Venerable Sovereign, the four races did not dare to act rashly. When he obtained the red bracelet, the billions of races would not dare to provoke the human race anymore.

“What? Husband broke through to the Venerable Sovereign realm?”

Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Bai Yuying, and the other women were pleasantly surprised.

Shen Ping smiled and shook his head. “I haven’t broken through yet. I just have the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign. Ordinary Venerable Sovereigns are not my match. You can cultivate in peace in the future.”

“That’s great!”

“Husband, you’re amazing!”

His wives and concubines were excited. Venerable Sovereigns were existences standing at the peak of billions of races. They did not expect their husband to have such combat strength. That night, they served Shen Ping with all their might.

Dozens of days later, Shen Ping came to visit Immortal Venerable Yao. He entered the cave abode. Under the guidance of a blue-clothed maid, he came to the stone pavilion beside the misty pool.

In the pavilion, two beautiful women were sitting there. One of them had a dignified face and a green mark that was like a bamboo sword between her brows. She sat there like a lotus leaf in the Misty Immortal Pond, holy and graceful and beautiful.

The other had a scorching aura. Just by looking at her, one could feel the noble bloodline surging towards them. Her eyes were suffused with flames, like heavenly fire from the nine heavens, but her face had a gentle and delicate look.

Shen Ping smiled and went forward. “Greetings, Immortal Venerable Yao, Immortal Venerable Luan.”

In the Forbidden Immortal Land, he had seen the two Immortal Venerables before. They had gone through thick and thin together, so their relationship was much closer than before. Especially Immortal Venerable Luan, there seemed to be gentleness in her eyes.
