Chapter 958: Nine Star Realm (2)

Actually, all these years, he had also tried to put his heart into Luo Lin, but the effect was minimal. From then on, he understood that Yang Yimo had the power of fate that was entangled with him. “I wonder how the Immortal Dao Domain is doing now! Did the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, the Flame Race, and the others attack the Northern Ice Immortal City?”

This world is very special. Under the interference of the power of fate, the speed of time was basically the same as the immortal dao territory. It had been almost 200 years since he descended, and 200 years had passed in the immortal dao territory. However, 200 years in the immortal dao territory was just the blink of an eye.

There’s not much chance of change. When he first descended, he had set a time limit of 1,000 years. If he had not comprehended the power of fate after 1,000 years, he would have been taken away by the authority bracelet.

“In another 200 years, I should be able to comprehend and grasp 10% of the power of fate!” Shen Ping pondered. In fact, with his current progress in the power of fate, he could also smelt other Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. However, the success rate was not as high as mastering 10%.

…

Immortal Dao Territory.

The Immortal Venerables of the human race gathered at the Misty Holy Peak. Different from the past, every Immortal Venerable had a worried expression now. The myriad races had indeed succeeded in encircling that outer realm expert. They relied on the power of the ancient array to continuously wear down the other party’s strength. Then, they relied on the methods of other Venerable Sovereigns to see that the outer realm expert’s aura was weakening, but this was the price of the life of their human race’s Venerable Sovereign.

Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong was indifferent. “Don’t worry. Although the methods of the outer realm expert are very powerful, they can’t destroy me. At most, I won’t be able to use my full strength.”

Although his words were light, the weakening effect of the injuries was obvious. The most important thing was that the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, and the other races also knew this. Now, they had already begun to increase their troops in the Northern Ice Immortal City. They wanted to use this opportunity to exhaust and test the human race.

“Venerable Sovereign, should we send more troops and Immortal Kings to the Northern Ice Immortal City?” Immortal Venerable Nanji said.

Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong pondered for a moment. “My disciple has been in seclusion recently… I also need to send more people. Let my subordinate, Immortal King Xue Yin bring them over. In addition, Immortal Venerable Yao, you should go too, just in case.”

Immortal Venerable Yao was stunned. “Yes, Venerable Sovereign.”

The other Immortal Venerables were silent. Clearly, no matter who it was, they realized that the pressure on the Northern Ice Immortal City would definitely increase day by day. The Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, the Flame Race and the Demon Race would definitely attack. This was very normal. After all, the competition between races was very cruel.

The human race had finally risen again, but now, it was about to fall to the bottom again. Especially if something happened to Venerable Tian Hong, the human race without a Venerable Sovereign would not only lose their position as a peak race, but they would also be surrounded by other races. At that time, the Winged Race, even the Dragon Race, and the Phoenix Race would join this banquet.

“As long as I don’t die, the Devil Clan and the Spirit Race won’t dare to attack wantonly!” Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong knew this in his heart. At the same time, he looked in the direction of the Northern Ice Immortal City. “My disciple is talented and has broken through to the Immortal King Realm. With his comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, as long as he has enough time, he can have the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign. At that time, he can protect the human race… I can last at most ten thousand years!”

The methods of the outer realm expert were truly ruthless, and it even involved True Spirits. In this aspect, their territories weren’t comparable to the outer realm, which was why they fell into the trap. In 10,000 years, he could still maintain 60% of his combat strength, but after 10,000 years, his strength would sharply decrease and it would be difficult for him to even make a move.

…

Yu Yan’s gaze was solemn. “Recently, the number of experts on the foreign race battlefield has suddenly increased. Many elite teams have suffered heavy losses. There’s something going wrong with the situation. Let’s not go out to do missions for the time being. We’ll make plans after we figure out the exact situation.”

“Yes, Captain.”

Not just the Peace team, the other teams in the Immortal City also discovered the changes in the foreign races’ battlefield. More and more experts appeared. Even the experts of the Spirit Race, the Demon Race, and the other races had appeared. Clearly, things were not ordinary.

…

Yun Nation.

Lingzhou City.

The war brought about by becoming an overlord country in the past gradually disappeared over the years. Lingzhou, which had endured fifty years of cold and heat, became more prosperous and lively. The number of guests and merchants coming and going from foreign countries at the city gate increased dozens of times compared to before.

Everyone knew that the Yun Nation was the most peaceful and richest country now. It was even stronger than the Zhu Nation in the south. Moreover, the other countries did not dare to offend the Yun Nation.

Therefore, in recent years, not only merchants, but also many rich guests and dignitaries of other countries had bought real estate and arranged for concubines and illegitimate children to live here in order to find a way out.

Shing Wong Temple Street was so crowded that it had even reached the point of rubbing shoulders. The originally inconspicuous tributary of the Yunmu River beside it had now become a place for the commoners to pray to God and rain. Beside the river, there was an old tree that was a hundred years old. It was filled with all kinds of talismans.

Shen Ping, Yang Yimo, and Luo Lin stood not far away. Then, they hung the prayer talisman on the willow branch.

“I wish my great-grandfather and great-grandmothers a long life and a long life.”

A childish voice sounded. Shen Ping and the other two could not help but laugh. A long life. They were almost 300 years old now, but their appearances were still eternal. They were even younger than their children and grandchildren. There was no trace of time on their bodies. The more powerful a Luminarist was, the longer they lived.

“It’s said that the clan would decline after three generations and die after nine generations… My Shen family has developed to become the number one family in Lingzhou City and is becoming stronger and stronger day by day. However, the talent of the next generation of Luminarists is getting worse,” Shen Ping said softly as he looked at his great-great-grandson.

His sons were generally five-star Luminarists, but his grandchildren were four-stars. After that, they were three-stars and two-stars.

“This situation is very common. Other than the imperial family in the capital, the other aristocratic families will die out over time. Now, the large aristocratic families in the capital will also decline and die in a thousand years. For example, in our Lingzhou City, other than my Yang family, which barely maintains the status of an aristocratic family, the other two families have long died and moved to the county city.”

Although six-star Luminarists had a lifespan of thousands of years, it did not mean that they could live for so long. Unless they stayed in the state capital forever and never left, it was impossible.

“In a few thousand years, I will not be able to accompany you either.”

Shen Ping looked at Yang Yimo and smiled. “Don’t worry, you’ll always be with me.”

Nine-star Luminarists had a long lifespan. However, when they reached the nine-star level, it seemed that they would suffer the wrath of the heavens. They did not live for long, but eight-star Luminarists could live for at least five to six thousand years. For example, the few eight-star Luminarists in the capital had all lived for more than two thousand years. They had witnessed the strength and weakness of the Yun Nation and how strong it was.

He was an Immortal King after all. Even if the fate of everyone in this world was predestined, he could rely on the Authority Bracelet to extend the lifespan of Yang Yimo. And when he gathered the fourth bracelet, he would be able to bring out the people in the palace world.

“Hm?” Suddenly, the eight-star life lamp in his body became violent. Then, as if it had broken through a barrier, it communicated with the longevity lamp, causing the eight ordinary life lamps and the longevity lamp to gather together, forming the situation of nine star rings. “Nine stars… I didn’t expect to reach the legendary nine stars.”

He looked at the others again. The scene before him immediately became different. He saw that everyone had different auras on their bodies. Some auras were flourishing, while others were weakening, like old men on the verge of death.

Apart from that, his eyes could see through buildings and see very far. It was as if he could see through the fate of the entire Lingzhou City and even the Yun Country.

“So this is the Realm of Nine Stars. It’s already integrated with the fate of all living beings under the heavens. Every thought can affect the world.”

Shen Ping understood. At the same time, he looked at the Night Valley deep in the desert as if he had sensed something.
