Chapter 853: The Final Test (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations
The fog was too thick.
Just as the Four Symbols Heaven Raising Array dispersed the drifting fog, a large amount of fog spread over again and surrounded all the Immortal Venerables. Some weak Immortal Venerables could not withstand the corrosion of the fog at all and died with a muffled groan.
Immortal Venerable Luan was also about to collapse. She had obtained only support-type Great Dao treasures from the palace on the fourth level of the Demon Mountain, not a single piece of defense item, so it was already her limit to break through here in a row. She had already accepted her fate, but she saw Shen Ping’s gaze.
“Could it be that Shen Ping has already sensed the location of the boulder?”
Immortal Venerable Luan was excited. She felt a sense of joy. After all, if she could live, no one was willing to die. Hence, without any hesitation, she moved closer to Shen Ping. The fog that would close again enveloped every Immortal Venerable. Immortal Venerables could not see each other clearly at all, nor could they sense each other.
Shen Ping hurriedly grabbed Immortal Venerable Luan’s wrist and pulled her to his side.
“Senior Luan, I’ve already sensed the location of the huge rock. Can you hold on for a while longer?” he asked.
Immortal Venerable Luan revealed a happy expression and said repeatedly, “I can still hold on.”
“Alright, when the fog dissipates, I’ll inform Immortal Venerable Yao to come over. At that time, we’ll go to the safe location of the huge rock first.”
Shen Ping explained. It was not that he did not want to inform Immortal Venerables Nanji and the others, but the commotion caused by the humans was too great. Therefore, it was not too late to inform them after they arrived at the safe location of the huge rock. In any case, as powerful Immortal Venerables, they could last for a long time. As for the other weak Immortal Venerables, to be honest, their lives had nothing to do with him.
While the two of them were talking, the thick fog was once again dispersed by the Four Symbols Heaven Raising Array.
Immortal Venerable Yao saw Shen Ping and Immortal Venerable Luan next to each other. She noticed that Immortal Venerable Luan kept giving her looks. She understood and quickly arrived beside Shen Ping while the fog closed again.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, you found the boulder?”
“Yes. Follow me.”
Shen Ping brought the two Immortal Venerables to a spot a hundred meters away on the right. This place happened to be within the range of the Four Symbols Heaven Raising Array, so the three of them did not have to worry about being torn apart by the powerful Great Dao of the Fog.
When the huge rock rose, Immortal Venerable Luan could no longer hold on and collapsed on the huge rock. She panted heavily, feeling like she had survived a calamity. It was the same for Immortal Venerable Yao. Although she could still hold on for a long time, 60% of the immortal energy and magic power in her body was almost exhausted, and her soul was also damaged. Now that she was on the huge rock, she could finally take a breath.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, you must have some special means of sensing the location of the boulder,” she stared at Shen Ping and said.
Shen Ping did not reply. “Senior Yao, are you not going to pursue the matter of the palace world anymore?”
Immortal Venerable Yao’s clear and jade-like face revealed a trace of embarrassment. Then, she said, “Immortal Venerable Luan and I are like sisters. As long as you can bring her out of the valley safely, I can let bygones be bygones.”
Shen Ping clicked his tongue and said, “Senior Yao, no one is confident that they can leave. Your words are a little too forceful.”
Immortal Venerable Luan, who had regained her senses, said, “Sister Yao, if it weren’t for Shen Ping, I wouldn’t have been able to withstand it and died in the fog region just now. Please forgive Shen Ping on account of our many years of friendship. Besides, in the palace world, he did it unintentionally.”
Immortal Venerable Yao sighed. Actually, ever since Shen Ping sensed the location of the huge rock of the Great Dao of Lightning before her, her heart had loosened. Now that she had passed through the area three times in a row, she no longer took those things to heart. The reason why she was indignant previously was mainly because she felt humiliated. After all, Shen Ping’s strength was much lower than hers.
Naturally, she felt a sense of blasphemy. However, after seeing Shen Ping’s true strength, the humiliation in Immortal Venerable Yao’s heart faded a lot.
“Sister Luan, I promise you.”
Immortal Venerable Yao looked at Shen Ping. “No matter what, thank you for saving our lives.”
Shen Ping smiled. That was right. Although he was intimate with these two Immortal Venerables in the palace world, if he saved them and they didn’t know how to be grateful, he would definitely not do anything in the future.
“As fellow humans, we should help each other.”
Immortal Venerable Yao rolled her eyes in her heart. Whoever believed this was stupid.
“Seniors, please make the best use of your time to recover.”
Shen Ping reminded them and left the boulder to walk towards the Immortal Venerable Nanji, Qi, and Yu.
When the fog blows away, Immortal Venerables Nanji, Qi, and Yu noticed Shen Ping and the huge rock that rose behind him. Their eyes suddenly lit up. Without Shen Ping’s reminder, they rushed towards the huge rock as quickly as possible.
Whoosh.
The fog closed again. All the Immortal Venerables immediately became blind and deaf. They could only instinctively follow the direction where they had seen the huge rock and quickly rush over.
Ten breaths later, the human Immortal Venerables all arrived at the boulder.
“Haha, Shen Ping, thank you!”
“Shen Ping, thank you!”
Be it Qi, Yu, Bing, Yu, or the other Immortal Venerables, how could they not know that Shen Ping could find the location of the huge rock not because he relied on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, but because he had his own unique methods? This made them extremely excited.
Especially Immortal Venerable Bing, she smiled and said, “I still remember that in the palace world, Shen Ping was the King of Carp.. He was still as lucky when he came to this valley!”
