My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 185 Obtaining a Near-Immortal-Level Treasure
To break free from the constraints and suppression of the pillar of light, one needs to comprehend the entire set of cultivation techniques at the Nascent Soul Realm. Although Zhou Ping could upgrade the entire set using National Fortune Points, the National Fortune Points consumed would be astronomical, so he naturally couldn't do that. Besides, he had already squeezed dry the top-grade spirit stones stored on these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

With nearly a trillion national fortune points, it would be enough for him to use for a long time, and he might even be able to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

Therefore, while those in the Nascent Soul Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, and Golden Core Realm continued to comprehend and understand the strange patterns, Zhou Ping was alone, contemplating matters concerning Earth.

Now there are a large number of national destiny points.

He was able to use the national fortune points to quickly improve his own strength, including Chen Xue, Tian Xiaoqin, and Jiang Xia.

Maybe in the future we won't need to leave Earth.

At this time, Zhou Ping was unaware that Earth had less than a year left before the seal would be broken.

Time continued.

With the beginner-level cultivation techniques provided by Zhou Ping, these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, worthy of being old monsters who have lived for thousands or even nearly ten thousand years, mastered the entire techniques within half a year, with the least successful taking a year.

Zhou Ping used this year to quickly improve his strength by utilizing the national fortune points. He is now at the Golden Core stage, but because the main hall has energy that suppresses and binds his energy, his aura is no different from before.

However, he actually progressed from the middle stage of the Golden Core realm to the perfect stage.

As long as you go out.

He can then prepare for the Nascent Soul stage.

He obtained all the materials for Nascent Soul Formation from the old monsters in the Primordial Spirit Realm. Since he was already at the Golden Core Realm, he didn't need a bottleneck to break through.

Wow.

After a year.

The voice of the near-immortal level expert echoed once again in the hall, “You little guys are not bad. Although someone helped you cheat, you were able to comprehend the whole set within a year. Several of you have reached the first level of Nascent Soul, and some have even entered the Golden Core stage. It seems that several of those who came in this time have very good aptitude. In that case, let’s start the next stage of the test ahead of schedule.”

Hey.

The words fell.

The strange patterns on the pillar began to writhe eerily, and in the next moment they actually detached from the pillar, then flowed out golden liquid, which finally condensed into golden creatures. Some of these creatures looked like toads, some like spiders, and some were other creatures, but they were only similar in appearance and were actually completely different.

"Those of you who have passed the first test will now need to fight these golden creatures. Whoever wins three battles will pass this stage of the test and receive a treasure bestowed upon them by me. Moreover, the treasures in this stage are all valuable items that I have painstakingly collected, and you can choose any one of them!"

"There are even near-immortal-level magical treasures among them!"

Hear this.

The eyes of the old monsters at the Nascent Soul Realm lit up instantly, their pupils revealing an uncontrollable burning greed. Even the stunningly beautiful woman in black armor was no exception. She possessed a near-immortal level magic weapon, so she understood even more how terrifying such a treasure was.

If one could possess a second one, then even facing Void Returning Realm or near-Immortal level experts, one could save one's life!
"Just a reminder."

"Different strengths lead to different strengths of the golden creatures they face. Tsk tsk, so Golden Core cultivators face Nascent Soul cultivators, Nascent Soul cultivators face late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators face Primordial Spirit cultivators, and Primordial Spirit cultivators face late-stage Primordial Spirit cultivators..."

"In short, these golden creatures are far stronger than you. You can use any means to fight and kill them. As long as you can kill the golden creatures, you will win!"

This statement came out.

All the cultivators' faces immediately turned ugly.

Those Nascent Soul stage monsters are no exception. You must know that the difference between the early and late stages of the Nascent Soul stage is absolutely like heaven and earth.

Fighting like this is just suicide.

However, even if you complain, there's nothing you can do.

Those who hadn't passed the first test were initially feeling miserable, but now they felt fortunate, as they no longer needed to fight those golden creatures.

Zhou Ping frowned.

Xiao Ding said, "Those golden creatures may seem strong, but don't forget, they are just creatures, and they don't seem to have much intelligence. So, as long as you use clever methods, you can defeat them. Haven't you mastered quite a few techniques? Those techniques might just be the key to killing these golden creatures!"

In fact, it wasn't just Xiao Ding who thought of this.

The old monsters in the Nascent Soul Realm had basically figured it out, since that near-immortal level expert wouldn't let them comprehend any cultivation techniques in the first stage for no reason.

The second phase will take some time.

Zhou Ping, along with those at the Nascent Soul stage, the Infant Condensation stage, and some Golden Core stages, hurriedly organized their cultivation techniques.

"By the way, Senior Ding, if we spend a long time here, wouldn't Earth be..."

He suddenly realized this.

Xiao Ding hesitated for a moment, "That depends on how long the Lotus Pond opportunity will last. You can ask those who know."

Zhou Ping nodded and hurriedly asked the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator at the Demon Lake.

Because of the beautiful woman in black armor, the Demon Lake Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was quite considerate of Zhou Ping. He laughed and said, "Don't worry, from the moment we enter the Lotus Pond, time here is different from outside. Judging from the past, each time the Lotus Pond opens, it only lasts for a few months, but the time inside basically lasts for several years, sometimes even longer!"

Zhou Ping's eyes widened in shock. "It can actually alter the flow of time?"

The Demon Lake Nascent Soul Realm expert shrugged and said, "A near-immortal level expert, with the ability to alter a certain period of time, is capable of doing so."

Zhou Ping was busy asking Xiao Ding in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Xiao Ding is an authority on this subject!
Xiao Ding said, "It is indeed possible, but it can only make small-scale changes. It mainly relies on some natural wonders of the universe. Some near-immortal level magic treasures can do it. I guess the Lotus Pond itself is a near-immortal level treasure, which is why it can create so many things, and even has several small spaces inside."

“You have been to ancient sites such as Mount Tai and Mount Li. Those are actually small worlds, blessed lands created by powerful beings. Therefore, they are rich in spiritual energy and have their own rules.”

Zhou Ping suddenly realized, but felt relieved. "Since there's a time flow, then there's no problem!"

He began to focus on studying and comprehending the techniques he had learned.

Two months passed.

Phase Two begins.

There are many golden creatures.

Each cultivator can freely choose different golden creatures to fight. Once the fight begins, the pillar of light will cover the area again, without affecting others.

Before making his choice, Zhou Ping used the "The Art of Stealing Heaven" to deduce the answer and then chose the golden toad.

Wow.

I just made my selection.

A beam of light enveloped him, and soon he was inside the beam with the golden toad, where an arena was formed.

Guagua.

The golden toad croaked, its golden pupils revealing a hint of disdain. Clearly, the golden toad, at the Nascent Soul stage, was not taken seriously by Zhou Ping at all.

Zhou Ping's face was solemn; his opponent was a Nascent Soul cultivator.

After thinking for a moment, he first attacked with his crimson ice and blue flames, and surprisingly, this attack directly annihilated the golden toad.

Even the golden toad itself, on its deathbed, hadn't expected that the blue flames would be so terrifying.

"Haha, kid, after you reached the peak of your Golden Core, the power of the Immortal Fire Seed in your body combined with the Extreme Ice Blue Flame is already very strong. If you use a divine power like the Samadhi True Fire, you will naturally destroy this golden toad with ease. Of course, this is also because the golden toad itself does not have many tricks up its sleeve and can only rely on its own physical body."

Listen to what Xiao Ding said.

Zhou Ping was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that he would win a round simply by relying on the Samadhi True Fire, without even using the strange pattern technique he had comprehended.

He then continued making his selections.

It still uses Samadhi True Fire. It must be said that although Samadhi True Fire is not yet fully mastered and the final Heart Fire has not yet been cultivated, that is, the Heavenly Chapter, it has not yet been obtained, its power is truly terrifying.

The golden spider was frozen to pieces after being touched by even a trace of it. Clearly, the golden creature had no supernatural powers and was merely a Nascent Soul level cultivator.

that's it.

The other Nascent Souls, Infant Formations, and Golden Cores were still struggling to fight the golden creature, trying to use the techniques on the strange patterns to win, but Zhou Ping easily won three rounds in a row.

However, these other powerful individuals cannot see them.

Inside the beam of light.

After winning three games in a row.

The voice of the near-immortal level expert rang out again, "Congratulations, little guy, I didn't expect you to actually obtain the Extreme Ice Blue Flame. A woman in the Nascent Soul Realm also had the same luck. It seems that you two have been to the Crimson Fire Forbidden Land. As I said before, luck is also a part of strength. You won the first three rounds, so you can choose a treasure first!"

"Just a heads-up, among these treasures are some near-immortal level magical artifacts, but you'll need your own discerning eye to spot them. Good luck!"

Zhou Ping was very excited.

He himself lacked experience and insight, but Xiao Ding did.

soon.

Before him appeared a vast array of treasures, numbering over a thousand, a dazzling array of rare and wondrous items from the universe.

Xiao Ding was dazzled. "My god, how many good things has this guy amassed? I suspect he has definitely passed the path to immortality and reached the very front. There are many things that Earth doesn't have. If I could obtain them and devour them, I could be completely restored."

"Unfortunately, I can only choose one!"

Zhou Ping was speechless, and hurriedly said in his mind, "Senior Ding, quickly choose that near-immortal level treasure!"

Xiao Ding said, "Don't worry, you can't escape."

It quickly examined the item and identified a seven-colored feather fan. "This one is perfect. Although it's very bright and looks gaudy, it's definitely a near-immortal-level attack treasure. It also seems to be related to fire, so it's very suitable for you."

Zhou Ping then chose the seven-colored feather fan.

The near-immortal level expert was astonished. "Little fellow, is it luck or exceptional insight that you actually managed to select a near-immortal level treasure? This Eight Treasures Seven-Colored Fan is composed of seven different special flames, each of which is no less powerful than the Extreme Ice Blue Flame. I painstakingly collected them and finally refined this magic weapon. It is extremely powerful. Of course, the Extreme Ice Blue Flame itself is very special, so I'm reminding you, little fellow, that with your current strength, you simply cannot activate it. You can only use it when you reach the Returning to Void Realm!"

Little Cauldron laughed heartily, "Zhou Ping, don't worry, with this cauldron here, you can definitely activate it. Although you won't be able to unleash its full power, you can still exert some of its power!"

Zhou Ping was extremely excited.

With this Eight Treasures Seven-Colored Fan, he finally had enough strength to stay on Earth. He no longer needed to fear the Star River Sect. At least until a Void Returning expert made a move, he didn't need to fear those Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Look at this fan.

The colors flowing above, each flow representing a flame.

Even the crimson ice and blue flames within his body seemed to have a subtle connection to the colors on the treasure fan.

"What a treasure!"

“Zhou Ping, this is truly a treasure that suits you perfectly.”

"With this, you can roam freely on Earth and even on this Huangling Star. But you have to be careful of those near-immortal level experts. Once they find out you have this, they will definitely try to snatch it away!"

Listen to this.

Zhou Ping nodded emphatically; he understood this very well.

After all, a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

Put away the treasure.

The pillar of light that enveloped him also disappeared.

Those Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators who were still comprehending the first stage of enlightenment were all astonished to see Zhou Ping being the first to dispel the pillar of light. They hadn't expected that Zhou Ping's comprehension was not only exceptional, but his strength was also so terrifying.

Zhou Ping paid no attention to the stares. He sat down cross-legged, but his heart was filled with worry for Jiang Xia.

Xiao Ding seemed to have figured it out. "Don't worry, with Phoenix around, nothing will happen."

time flies.

Zhou Ping, on the other hand, seized the time to cultivate.

Although this main hall suppresses and binds magical power and divine sense, it is still a place for cultivation.

Now that he has reached the Golden Core stage, his improvements are focused on his physical body and spiritual consciousness.

Fortunately, they had the items given to them by those old monsters at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Meanwhile, the small cauldron was constantly absorbing various minerals, seizing the time to restore its strength. The patterns on its body kept flashing and getting brighter, clearly indicating that its strength was recovering. Compared to when Zhou Ping first saw it, which was in a dilapidated state, it now possessed some of the power of a cauldron.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators have all completed the second stage of the test. Several of them have suffered minor injuries, but Jiang Xia is fine, which puts Zhou Ping at ease.

"Congratulations on passing the second stage... Those who have not yet completed the first stage will be forced to proceed to the second stage!"

"Hmph, I don't like trash. If you can't finish, you'll die in the second stage!"

Those who were still comprehending the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages all looked ashen-faced!
The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were secretly speculating about what good things they would get in the third stage. In the second stage, they had also obtained some very good items. Although there were no near-immortal level treasures, they were all rare and precious items from the universe. Even just one of them would have made the trip worthwhile.

"Everyone!"

"The grand third phase is about to begin. If you can pass through it successfully, you will be able to go to the place of true opportunity that I have arranged!"

"However, I don't recommend that you use the purple coins, blue coins, etc. from the first stage to offset it, as that would make you miss the real opportunity!"

As soon as these words came out.

All those at the Nascent Soul Realm, including some at the Infant Condensation Realm, as well as Zhou Ping, Jiangxia, and others, became excited.

The true opportunities left behind by those at the near-immortal level are definitely more precious than near-immortal magic treasures. Once obtained, they will be like a fish leaping over the dragon gate!
