Chapter 217: Have to Think About the Big Picture (4)

The master of Spring Garden already had some guesses.
“Chief, what’s going on with this ancient blood formation?” The other Blood Lord phantom experts looked at the master of Spring Garden one after another.
It had erupted on the desolate island last time. They felt that things were a little strange. After all, when they were searching for the ancient array, the chief had told them that once the ancient array was activated, the bloodline cultivation of Spring Garden would welcome a grand event. However, this time, even a Blood Lord almost died.
“It was just an accident.” The master of Spring Garden’s voice was indifferent. “If you want to break through the bloodline shackles, you have to attract existences with stronger bloodlines to descend. Such existences are all unknowingly terrifying. If not for this, how could you break through the shackles? A powerful opportunity is often accompanied by great danger.”
Hearing this, the other Blood Lord phantoms fell silent. They naturally understood this principle. However, such an unexpected thing had happened twice in this ancient blood array. It was inevitable that they would feel uneasy.
“Ninth Blood Lord, give the order to set up a defensive array around every ancient blood array. Also, the Blood Lords on duty have to remember that if you sense that something is wrong, you have to immediately use what I gave you.”
“Yes, Chief.”
These Blood Lord phantoms responded.
A few days later, two huge thrones appeared again in the valley of the Zhongsheng Continent.
The warm and gentle voice directly questioned, “This is the third fluctuation of the barrier of the five continents and four seas. Even if the ancient blood array is activated, it definitely won’t fluctuate several times in a row. What are you doing?!”
This time, the master of Spring Garden surprisingly did not say anything. He was silent for a long time before he slowly said, “It might wake up…”
Violent ripples appeared in the space around the warm-colored throne phantom. The dark and remote valley was instantly annihilated in this spatial tremor. A moment later, the space returned to calm. The warm voice sounded again. “Impossible.”
The master of Spring Garden sighed and said, “The barrier fluctuation was caused by the roars of two strange beasts. You should know that only it can cause such a commotion.”
The gentle voice said indifferently, “Even so, it’s impossible for it to wake up. As long as the five continents and four seas are still around, as long as I’m still around… it definitely won’t have a chance to wake up!”
Her voice turned cold. “Junior Brother! Stop the operation of the ancient blood array. No matter what the consequences are, it’s not something you and I can bear. Back then, Master and the others handed the five continents and four seas to us because they wanted us to break out of the array with our own strength and not use other methods!”
The phantom of the blood-colored throne distorted and swayed. “It’s too late! Once the ancient blood formation is activated, no one can stop it.” The Spring Garden’s master continued, “If it hadn’t woken up… the situation would have been even worse.”
A few days later, the fragrance of food filled the air.
Shen Ping took a few sips of the thin meat porridge and looked at his wives and Dao companions, asking about their recent cultivation. His wife, Wang Yun, said softly with a hint of joy, “Husband, I’m about to reach the sixth level of Qi Refinement.”
Bai Yuying giggled. “Ever since Sister Yun’er changed her bloodline and foundation, her cultivation speed has been much faster than before.”
Yu Yan picked up a piece of roasted meat and said as she ate, “I heard from Husband that the early stages of bloodline cultivation are indeed very fast, but the further you go, the slower your speed will be. Moreover, there will be bloodline shackles. Yun’er, when you changed your bloodline back then, did Spring Garden mention to you a solution to such a hidden danger?”
“They never mentioned it.” Wang Yun shook her head and said indifferently, “It’s fine as long as I can cultivate to the level of a Golden Core. When the time comes, 1 can accompany you for hundreds of years.”
Shen Ping frowned. “A few hundred years is only a very short moment in cultivation. Yun’er, don’t say such things in the future. Also, Ying’er, Qing’er, don’t have such thoughts. I hope that you can accompany me down the road.”
“Husband, I understand.”
Although Wang Yun had grown a lot, she had always maintained an obedient personality and had never disobeyed Shen Ping’s words.
Bai Yuying’s voice was soft as she changed the topic. “The treasure that Husband gave us last time is indeed very effective. It far exceeds the supplementary medicinal pill at the Qi Refinement realm. Ying’er has already cultivated to the eighth level of Qi Refinement under the effect of that medicinal pill.
“Moreover, the speed of growth has not decreased at all. 1 might be able to complete Qi Refinement in two to three years.”
When Luo Qing saw Shen Ping looking over, her proud and cold face revealed a gentle expression. “Husband, my cultivation speed is also very fast. With the enhancement of my bloodline, I’m not far from the ninth level of Qi Refinement.”
Shen Ping nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad.”
Then he looked at Mu Jin. This external member of Cloud Mountain Parlour’s True Treasure Pavilion had been very obedient since she followed him. No matter what he asked her to do, she did not hesitate at all. She could obey some strange interests that were usually inconvenient with his wives and concubines.
It was just that Shen Ping had never cared much for her until now.
“Thank you, Husband, for the precious resources. I’ve already broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement. In half a year, I can try to build my foundation.” Mu Jin’s eyes were filled with joy. She was very glad that she had made the choice in Qingyang City.
Shen Ping nodded and his gaze landed on Yin Honglian. Compared to the others, Yin Honglian’s presence in this family was even lower. However, he still treated her with the same resources. It was also because of this that the latter’s favorability had increased to the ordinary limit over the years.
Yin Honglian was still wearing that fiery red dress. Although her appearance was not stunning, her hot personality made Shen Ping’s heart burn every time. “Thank you for your concern, Husband. 1 just broke through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment a few days ago.”
Next was Perfected Qiu.
Among his wives and concubines, she had obtained the greatest improvement. Not only had she broken through from the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm to the late-stage, but the effect of consuming the Seabeard Ginseng Leaf was the best. Although she was still at the seventh level of the Golden Core realm, the magic power in her body was getting thicker.
However, be it the new Talisman Beast Diagram, the strange beast talent, or the increase in cultivation, Shen Ping had obtained them through dual cultivation with Qiu Ying. It could be said that the benefits she had brought were the best.
In the end, Yu Yan smiled and said, “I’m already at the second level of the Foundation Establishment realm.”
Shen Ping nodded. His gaze swept past the expectant expressions on his wives and concubines’ faces. He could not help but smile and clench his fists. “Continue to work hard!”
“Yes, Husband!” His wife, concubine, and Dao companion raised their hands and clenched their fists. Their coquettish voices carried a sense of prosperity.
The next day, Shen Ping met the purple-robed cultivator from Mountain Fire Hall again at Perfected Yun Ya’s spirit peak. They exchanged a few pleasantries.
Shen Ping and Perfected Yun Ya walked to the pavilion. Pei Huoyu hesitated and said, “Senior Brother, you’re busy in the hall. If there’s anything important, you can just send a message to me. Why did you come personally?”
Li Yin’s expression darkened. “Junior sister, I heard from Perfected Yun Ya that you seem to have mental problems recently. You even targeted Talisman Master Shen several times.”
Pei Huoyu snorted. “Since when did Senior Brother Yunya like to spout nonsense so much?!”
“Fool!” Li Yin berated, “Yun Ya doesn’t dare to go against Master’s words, so he’s meticulous. Since this concerns Talisman Master Shen, how can he not take it seriously?!”
He stared at Pei Huoyu and continued, “In the hall, if you have a temper occasionally, Senior Brother and Master will let you do as you please. However, this time is different. Talisman Master Shen is not an ordinary new core. After passing the fourth level of the trial, not only will he easily become a Class A core, as long as he doesn’t die in the future, there’s a high chance of him becoming a Hall Master-level expert!
“As the core of the Mountain Fire Hall, no matter what happens, you should prioritize the overall situation in the hall!”
Pei Huoyu could not help but blurt out, “For the greater good, I’ve already…”
