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

Chapter 188 Becoming One with Jiang Xia

There are countless paths to the same destination.

Whether it's the Way of Music or other Daoist arts, they are all based on the rules of the universe. Unfortunately, these near-immortal level creation techniques are truly too powerful; just getting started requires consuming trillions of national fortune points.

Even though Zhou Ping had acquired a considerable amount of top-grade spirit stones from the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, amounting to nearly a trillion, he still couldn't successfully deduce and improve this cultivation technique. And the inability to improve it meant that he couldn't comprehend and master it.

Although it was a pity, he didn't care. Anyway, he could still cultivate this technique when the nation's fortune points were sufficient.

"Senior, can I still withstand the immortal energy?"

In fact, what is most important to Zhou Ping right now is not the cultivation technique, but the three streams of immortal energy that carry the immortal fruits learned by this senior throughout his life.

Once he can withstand the fusion, it means that he can have extremely strong combat power in a short period of time!

The majestic white phantom said calmly, "It's fine."

So Zhou Ping stepped onto another lotus platform.

Looking at the three floating clouds of air.

He took a deep breath.

The ordeal began.

boom.

As soon as he received the first wisp of immortal energy, he felt as if he were being crushed by an entire mountain, and the weight of the mountain was increasing. In just five breaths, the first wisp of immortal energy was so heavy that it caused cracks to appear in Zhou Ping's physical body. You should know that his physical body was supported by immortal fire and blue flames, which made it very strong. Although it was not comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm, it was stronger in another way.

However, this was simply not enough to withstand the overwhelming power of the immortal energy itself.

"Little one, let me remind you, don't push yourself too hard, or you'll end up failing!"

But Zhou Ping seemed not to hear, knowing his own limits.

We must grit our teeth and endure it for now.

collapse.

More than ten breaths.

The physical body completely disintegrated.

Only spiritual energy, the immortal fire within the body, and the circulation pathways of the crimson ice and blue flames remain.

See this scene.

The majestic white phantom shook his head inwardly. Although he had high hopes for this little guy, he would not interfere. Besides, this little guy was too greedy. He had already obtained a near-immortal level treasure, the Eight Treasures Seven-Colored Fan, which was the biggest gain among this batch of inheritors of opportunities, but he still wanted to try to withstand the immortal energy.

Even those at the Nascent Soul stage couldn't withstand it, let alone such a little guy.

However, he could also see that the other party possessed great fortune, as he actually had immortal fire and the extreme ice blue flame he left behind, which could be considered as profound good fortune.

Time passed little by little.

It took about twenty seconds.

Zhou Ping is still persisting.

He possesses a virtual frame representing the nation's destiny, allowing him to maintain his spiritual light even with only a sliver of spiritual energy remaining. This is his greatest source of confidence.

And under such circumstances.

The immortal energy finally began to merge with the immortal fire and blue flames within his body.

This shocked even the majestic white phantom.

"Such strong willpower and belief! What did they go through to maintain the last glimmer of light when their spirit and soul were on the verge of collapse? It's been a long time since I've seen anything like that!"

As a powerful figure who has embarked on the path to immortality and is about to reach the end, he is very clear that talent and aptitude are only the most basic things, while great perseverance is what truly determines how far one can go. Many exceptionally talented geniuses have fallen on the path to immortality because they lacked perseverance.

Unexpectedly, in the very place I had set up for the inheritance, I found such a persevering junior.

time flies.

As the immortal energy merged, a full half hour passed, and Zhou Ping's physical body began to recover. Especially under the combined nourishment of immortal energy and immortal fire, his reforged body was incredibly powerful, and he directly skipped the Golden Core stage and broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

This is a blessing in disguise.

After all, even the various tribulations of the Nascent Soul stage are far less powerful than the oppressive force brought by immortal energy.

Zhou Ping even withstood the immortal energy, his body energy overflowed, and his spirit was also greatly nourished.

"Haha, not bad, little guy, congratulations on reaching the Nascent Soul Realm."

The majestic white phantom suddenly lifted his spirits.

Zhou Ping slowly exhaled, feeling the strength of his body and the nascent soul in his dantian. Excitement and joy welled up on his face. He had finally obtained immortal energy by relying on the virtual frame of national fortune.

Looking at the remaining two, he wanted to continue merging them.

The majestic white phantom smiled and said, "Little fellow, your perseverance has indeed far exceeded my expectations. Now that you have fused with a wisp of immortal energy, leave now. This place of opportunity and inheritance should be left to those who come in the future."

Listen to this.

Zhou Ping immediately stood up. "Thank you so much, senior, for bestowing upon me this magical treasure and this opportunity. I am deeply grateful. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."

The majestic white phantom pondered for a moment, then waved its sleeve, and soon a purple token engraved with the character "yin" floated in front of Zhou Ping. "You are the most outstanding junior I have ever met. You will surely walk the path of immortality in the future. If we can reach the end, we may meet again one day. At that time, you can take out this purple token."

"Yes, senior."

Take the token.

He immediately felt a repulsive force.

When I came to my senses.

He then discovered that he had unknowingly returned to the Xiayin Forbidden Land in the Crimson Cloud Mountains.

The small cauldron floated out of Zhou Ping's sea of ​​consciousness and spun around in front of him, its voice also carrying out, "Tsk tsk, Zhou Ping, you've made a fortune in the Lotus Inheritance Land this time. Not only did you get a near-immortal level treasure, but you also obtained a wisp of immortal energy. That's immortal energy! Even the previous owner of this cauldron couldn't condense immortal energy!"

"This is a supreme treasure. You'd better not reveal even a trace of it, or those near-immortal level experts will go crazy!"

Hearing Xiao Ding's words.

Zhou Ping asked curiously, "Senior Ding, is it difficult to condense immortal energy?"

Xiao Ding rolled his eyes. "Nonsense! Out of more than a thousand near-immortal level experts, not even one could condense it. This expert must have reached the end of the path to immortality. He could even be called a near-Dao expert. Only by comprehending the Dao can one condense immortal energy. In other words, that guy is not far from becoming a true immortal!"

Zhou Ping then asked, "Is it difficult to become an immortal? I've seen movies and TV series that say there were many immortals in ancient times, haven't they?"

Xiao Ding said irritably, "That's all a lie. What is an immortal? One who is omnipotent and close to the Dao is an immortal. Earth is an ancient cultivation civilization that has produced many powerful individuals who are close to the level of immortals. Almost every one of them has comprehended a Dao, but unfortunately, none of them can truly become immortals. The closest one has only condensed five strands of immortal energy!"

"You've really struck gold this time!"

This was the second time it had been said, and its tone was full of envy.

Merging with a wisp of immortal energy is like starting the path to immortality faster than others, and there will be no bottlenecks afterward.

Zhou Ping laughed, "With immortal energy and the immortal path, I shouldn't be afraid even if a near-immortal level expert from the Star River Sect descends this time!"

Little Cauldron casually replied, "More or less, but you're only at the early Nascent Soul stage. Although you possess immortal energy and the Eight Treasures Seven-Colored Fan, making you much stronger than other Nascent Soul cultivators of the same level, you're still no match for near-immortal level experts. Even those at the Primordial Spirit Realm can crush you, but killing you would be nearly impossible for them. Besides, I'm here. Now that I've recovered some of my strength, as long as I control your body, I can unleash the power of the Primordial Spirit Realm!"

"Your top priority now is to integrate the immortal energy within your body with the crimson ice and blue flames, and try to become familiar with it as soon as possible!" Zhou Ping nodded.

After resting for a while, he returned to Huangling Mountain in the Chixia Mountains. Once Jiang Xia met up with him, he would go back to Earth to cultivate properly.

After all, he has now successfully condensed his nascent soul. Even if he cultivates faster in the future, it will still take time. Moreover, with the immortal energy providing ample energy, he doesn't need any special cultivation environment. He only needs to slowly integrate and absorb the energy within the immortal energy.

Of course.

If we want to obtain a large number of national fortune points, we still cannot give up the Crimson Cloud Mountains.

I spent a day inspecting Huangling Mountain.

As the first spiritual vein land that Zhou Ping obtained, it is now completely on the right track. The disciples within its jurisdiction have talismans, so they don't have to worry about not being able to exchange their contributions for too many resources, and everyone is working hard.

However, a cultivator's aptitude and talent are still very important. With sufficient resources, those with excellent talent and aptitude will naturally rise quickly.

But it still takes time.

They didn't have the same opportunities as Zhou Ping.

Soon.

Zhou Ping returned to Black Crow Lake.

After successfully condensing his nascent soul using immortal energy, he became increasingly aware of the importance of spiritual veins. Even the Black Crow Lake, a third-tier high-grade spiritual vein, made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Deacon Snow".

He summoned Snowflake.

This former female cultivator from the Black Crow Lake demonic path became even more alluring and seductive after the pressure and restraints on her body were lifted. Every frown and smile had a unique charm, especially since the cultivation technique she practiced itself could increase her charm, making her seductive nature even more outstanding.

Although Zhou Ping had been with the stunningly beautiful woman in black armor once, he hadn't really enjoyed the experience. Now that he had come out of the Lotus Land and obtained the treasure, his burdens had become much lighter, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances at Xue Di'er.

Today, she was wearing a black fitted long dress, which accentuated her curvaceous figure, highlighting her breasts and hips.

He even had a fleeting impulse to pull open the long black dress and admire the view underneath, but the thought quickly dissipated, and he couldn't help but think to himself that he had stayed in the lotus pond for a while.

Furthermore, having absorbed immortal energy, he already possessed an excess of yang energy. Even with decades of experience in the illusionary realm, he could hardly resist the most primal urges of his physical body.

"Deacon Xue, what are the fourth-tier spiritual veins in the Crimson Cloud Mountains?"

Zhou Ping asked casually.

His aura was restrained, but the oppressive force still made Xue Dier feel awe. In the past, when facing Zhou Ping, who was in the Golden Core Realm, she felt like she was facing a giant beast. Now, it was as if a towering mountain was standing in front of her, and he could destroy her with a flick of his wrist.

Especially the look in their eyes.

She felt as if she had been seen through, and could not muster the slightest thought of resistance. "Reporting to the Mountain Lord, there are not many fourth-order spiritual veins in the Crimson Cloud Mountain Range. There are more than thirty fourth-order superior-grade and more than fifty ordinary fourth-order. In total, there are nearly a hundred forces."

"Among them, there are thirty-five demonic forces, thirty-eight righteous forces, the rest are neutral, and there are also some families..."

Xue Dier knew all this information like the back of her hand. "The closest one to our Chiyunfang area is Xiyun Valley. It is a righteous sect with a fourth-grade high-quality spiritual vein. There are three Nascent Soul experts in the sect. The demonic force that is a little further away is Canglan Sect. Both of these sects are very strong and are quite famous in the Chixia Mountain Range."

Many Nascent Soul level forces and sects within the Crimson Cloud Mountains are allied with each other and belong to the three major Yuan Shen forces: Crimson Bright Mountain, Demon Lake, and Flood Dragon Valley.

The deaths of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from Demon Lake and Crimson Bright Mountain at Lotus Pond will inevitably cause chaos between the demonic and righteous forces. Those from Flood Dragon Valley who did not go to Lotus Pond will certainly seize the opportunity to take over their territory and develop their demonic power.

Zhou Ping pondered to himself.

There's no need to rush to expand territory at this stage. Although there's some discomfort with this third-tier spiritual vein, we should still focus on Earth.

"Okay, you go down."

"Yes, Mountain Master!"

Watching Xue Dier's retreating figure.

He shook his head, feeling that he had to go back to Earth, but when he thought of the cultivation levels of Chen Xue and Tian Xiaoqin, he felt helpless again.

With his current physical strength, the two women probably wouldn't be able to withstand that intense impact.

"Being powerful can also be a burden!"

Next.

He stayed obediently at Black Crow Lake, familiarizing himself with absorbing the energy of the immortals.

It has to be said that the immortal energy was too powerful. In just three or four months, his cultivation level increased even faster than when he used the Emperor's Arrival talent, and he was not far from the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It was simply terrifying.

Jiang Xia finally returned to the Crimson Cloud Mountain Range from the other cultivation ground. She had obtained quite a lot of things in the Lotus Pond, a place of opportunity. Before leaving, Zhou Ping gave her some rare and precious materials for the Nascent Soul Realm, which helped the Phoenix Fairy recover some of her strength, allowing her to cross the two cultivation grounds so quickly.

Seeing Jiang Xia's dashing and heroic appearance and figure.

Zhou Ping couldn't contain himself any longer, so he wrapped his arms around her slender waist and kissed her.

Soon, the heavenly thunder and earthly fire ignited and exploded.

The two had long harbored deep feelings for each other, but they had always suppressed these emotions. Now that Zhou Ping had taken the initiative, Jiang Xia did not resist at all, and in a short while, she was completely naked.

Looking at its flawless, snow-white, crystal-clear golden color, like that of beautiful jade.

He couldn't help but taste it.

Jiang Xia blushed, and as she felt more and more golden elixir surging, her straight legs involuntarily tensed their meridians.

Just like a mimosa plant, it contracts tightly the moment it is touched.

Soon.

As the immortal energy and the fiery heat of the crimson ice and blue flames penetrated deep into the crystal-clear golden core, which was covered with water droplets, the two figures completely merged into one.

Endless affection is burning.

Time and years have long been forgotten at this moment, leaving only the most intense turmoil between them.

A full two weeks have passed.

The joy and excitement of their reunion had just been released during their friendly competition.

The intense heat that Zhou Ping felt from absorbing the immortal energy was finally relieved, and when he looked at the other women, he had no urge to admire them at all.

They lingered together for a few more days.

The two then returned to Earth.

As soon as they emerged from the ruins of Jade Emperor Peak on Mount Tai, the spirit of the spaceship began to rang out.

"what?"

"You mean the Star River Sect is about to break the seal on Earth's formation?"

Zhou Ping's eyes widened. "Didn't you say there would be some time?"

The spirit said, "The higher-ups of the Star River Sect must be getting impatient, so they've deployed near-immortal level experts. Although they have the Earth's ancient formations to support them, they can't withstand it. Zhou Ping, we must leave Earth as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late if we wait until the Star River Sect arrives!"

However, Zhou Ping shook his head, "I will not leave Earth. Even if the Star River Sect descends, I will stay on Earth!"

The spirit of the formation panicked immediately, "Are you out of your mind? The Star River Sect knows about your situation. They and my Taiyan Sect are enemies. They will definitely destroy you..."
