“In that case, I’ll tell you briefly today what a strange beast is.”

The entire courtyard suddenly rotated. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings turned into an ancient hall. There were murals engraved with strange beast patterns on the metal walls of the hall. These murals were all lifelike and looked like living paintings.

“This is the Beast Scripture Pavilion. Those murals outline the various forms of strange beasts.”

A voice sounded in his ears. Shen Ping subconsciously looked at the murals carefully. He immediately noticed that it was different from the clear colossus in his mind. Every strange beast pattern drawn on the wall had a different movement. It was either roaring at the sky, lying in the void, tearing apart enemies with its hooves, or piercing the sky with its whip tail.

And with a look, his mind could not help but be immersed in the murals. It was as if he had entered a world of murals. A real strange beast appeared in front of him. This intuitive feeling was really novel.

“A strange beast is the most powerful life form in the world. Its scales, fur, blood, bones, and other things contain the principles of the world. If you can comprehend it, you can climb to immortality.” The gentle voice sounded.

Shen Ping instantly broke free from the mural. At this moment, the long dress was already standing beside him. Her tone was a little ancient as she said, “It’s just that the principles of the world are complicated and profound, and the strange beast is in conflict with our cultivation system. The more you study and comprehend, the easier it is for your mental state to be chaotic. In the end, not only did you not advance your cultivation, but you will also be affected by the strange beast and become a puppet demon.

“Later on, after countless years, there was finally an Almighty who fused the Hundred Arts of Cultivation of the Immortal Dao with the strange beasts. He spent a lot of effort to fuse them into a Beast Scripture that was suitable for us to cultivate the Immortal Dao. But even so, it was extremely difficult to comprehend the Beast Scripture. The conditions were even more harsh. One had to comprehend at least two techniques to derive the final form of the scripture so that they would not be affected by the Beast Scripture. If they wanted to truly comprehend it, they had to have at least four!

“The purpose of my True Treasure Pavilion is to find a skill genius who can inherit and comprehend the Beast Scripture. However, such a genius is extremely rare even in the cultivation places where the immortal Dao is prosperous. It’s even harder to find such a genius in the five continents and the four seas. However, such a genius has finally been born.”

Upon hearing this, the doubts in Shen Ping’s heart were suddenly resolved. He finally understood why the True Treasure Pavilion valued cultivators who were good at the Hundred Skills. They did not even hesitate to let powerful Dao Protectors protect their core geniuses and provide restricted resources. This “Beast Scripture” was actually related to the mystery of longevity. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there were many protections.

After all, cultivators fought and experienced countless difficulties and dangers to fight for resources. Not to mention longevity, even Divine Transformation cultivators might not be able to cross it. However, the Beast Scripture led straight to the Great Dao. Any sect or faction would do their best to nurture it.

The voice of the woman in the palace dress continued, “Disciple, the other secrets involved in the strange beast are too huge and complicated. It’s not convenient for me to tell you in detail. You only need to know that comprehending the beast scripture far exceeds everything. If you can comprehend a trace of it, you will benefit endlessly in your life.”

Shen Ping nodded repeatedly. “Yes, Master. I understand.”

He naturally knew the information about the strange beasts that his master had mentioned just now and had hidden some important things. For example, what was the ultimate goal of nurturing the inheritor of the Beast Scripture? Longevity was ultimately illusory. Even if the Beast Scripture was really a path to longevity, it would take countless years to achieve it. The True Treasure Pavilion could not nurture it without considering resources just to nurture the inheritor.

“Do you have any other questions?” A voice sounded. The surroundings returned to normal.

Shen Ping was still sitting on the stone stool. He looked at the woman in the palace dress and stood up. He cupped his hands and said, “Master, I have another question. 1 heard that a calamity has descended. I wonder what this calamity is?”

The woman in the palace dress pondered and said, “The calamity of the five continents and the four seas mainly come from the outside world. We will experience them once every thousand years and will experience a big calamity in ten thousand years. However, these calamities are easily dealt with by our True Treasure Pavilion. This calamity is different, though. If we’re not careful, the entire five continents and the four seas will be reduced to scorched earth. However, you don’t have to worry too much about this. Our True Treasure Pavilion has a strong foundation and will definitely be able to safely survive this calamity.”

Shen Ping walked out of the Jingsi House. He looked up at the sky and touched the clear light ring on his finger. His face immediately revealed a relaxed expression.

Since the Head Hall Master had said that he could survive the calamity, he did not have to worry about this matter anymore. He could just focus on cultivating and studying all kinds of scriptures in the future.

Although the conditions for comprehending the Beast Scripture were extremely harsh, with the virtual interface, he had a natural advantage that no skill genius could compare to.

“Did Talisman Master Shen acknowledge a master?” Hall Master Yueling, who was waiting outside, asked gently.

Shen Ping said respectfully, “I’ve already acknowledged my master.”

The smile on Hall Master Yueling’s face widened. “Congratulations on becoming the Head Hall Master’s disciple, Talisman Master Shen. Does the Head Hall Master have any other arrangements for your future cultivation?” “Lord, Master said that everything will go on as usual.”

Hearing Shen Ping’s words, Hall Master Yueling was not surprised. Although he had become a registered disciple, his cultivation realm was too low. It was enough for the main hall, Mountain Fire and Dan Hai to nurture him. Even if he advanced to become a core disciple in the future, it would probably be the same.

“Talisman Master Shen, your status is extraordinary. Even if you see me, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. You can treat the other hall masters as equals.” Hall Master Yueling said seriously, “In the future, you have to be more careful with your words and actions. You don’t only represent yourself.”

Shen Ping was stunned for a moment before hurriedly saying, “Thank you for your reminder, Lord Main Hall.”

At the same time,

Huayun Hall.

In the side hall.

Hall Master Huayun, who had received the message from the main hall, was first stunned, then he was filled with emotions. Back then, when he went to the Linhai Immortal City with the other Hall Masters to recruit this Talisman Master, he did not care much. Even after Shen Ping comprehended the second volume of the beast form in more than four hours, he did not show an urgent desire for talent like Shan Huo and Dan Hai.

This was because there were many outstanding skill geniuses in the Huayun Hall. Moreover, the overall foundation and resources obtained from the main hall were not something Dan Hai and Mountain Fire could compare to.

Therefore, it was best if he could recruit him successfully. It was fine if he couldn’t.

But now, Talisman Master Shen had actually become the most monstrous genius in the headquarters and was even accepted as a registered disciple by the Head Hall Master. This dazzling scene really made him regret it. If the conditions he had given back then were the same as Shan Huo, this Talisman Master might have become a core member of the Huayun Hall.

“The Mountain Fire Hall and the Dan Hai Hall are really lucky!”

With Shen Ping’s relationship, The Moon Spirit Main Hall would definitely give the two halls resources.

Sword Hall, a special hall-level faction under the main hall in the True Treasure Pavilion that was independent. The members were all powerful sword cultivators. They were famous in the Zhongsheng Continent.

In the main hall, Jian Yu looked at the huge list of Glory Ranking floating in the air. He looked at a man with sharp eyebrows beside him with a guilty expression. “Hall Master, it’s all my fault for being incompetent and not recruiting Talisman Master Shen to our Sword Hall. I missed the opportunity to make our Sword Hall rise!”

The Hall Master of Sword Hall shook his head gently. “This matter is not your fault. Mountain Fire Hall has a unique advantage, and Fellow Daoist Shan Huo is also bold. However, no one expected this Talisman Master Shen to be so monstrous. The most important core beast scripture of our True Treasure Pavilion will probably fall on him in the end. Jian Yu, no matter what, you can be considered to have some friendship with this Talisman Master Shen. You can keep in touch with him in the future.

“I heard that he has many Dao companions. You can try to find out if any of them are interested in the path of sword cultivation or want to walk the path of battle cultivation.” His figure disappeared.

Most of the members of the Sword Hall were not good at communicating. However, in the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion, some things were unavoidable. No matter how strong their cultivation was, they had to run around for cultivation resources.

The Head Hall Master had never taken in a disciple before. When the news of her taking in a registered disciple spread, it immediately caused a huge commotion in the entire True Treasure Pavilion. However, after knowing that this registered disciple was Shen Ping, everyone was only left with envy.

If it was any other top three geniuses on the Glory Ranking, they would definitely be discussed for a long time. But Shen Ping was different. The latter had reached the top of the Glory Ranking in a short period of time. Such monstrous talent in the Dao of Talismans was difficult for any genius to reach. This kind of skill core was naturally qualified to become the Head Hall Master’s registered disciple.

In the guest courtyard of the Dan Hai Hall, the Holy Maiden, who was sitting cross-legged on the mat in the quiet room, did not show any excitement after knowing this. Instead, she frowned even more.

Shen Ping’s status had already exceeded her expectations. It was probably impossible to follow the original plan.

“Registered disciple! Forget it… To be able to have sex with such a genius, my hundreds of years of cultivation were not in vain!”
