In a stone pavilion in the long corridor of the Mountain Fire Hall.

Shen Ping took a sip of the spiritual tea and asked in a low voice, “Hall Master, 1 wonder how many Nascent Soul seniors have died in the headquarters of our True Treasure Pavilion when we resisted the Derivative Beast this time?”

Hall Master Shan Huo sighed and said, “Hundreds… This calamity is different from the past. There are more powerful Derivative Beasts appearing, and more than 100,000 of them attacked the array immediately. If we don’t mobilize the cultivators of the various halls in time to attract and kill them, the array might be attacked. Although the defense of the array is extremely strong and can withstand that bombardment, the pressure on us will increase.

“As long as the situation on the first day doesn’t happen again, relying on the grand formation is enough to last until the calamity passes.”

Shen Ping was silent. He, who knew the inside story, knew very well that this calamity would probably be very difficult to survive in a short period of time. According to the Head Hall Master, the Derivative Beast was the strange beast energy dissipated by the Nine Continents Tower. In the past, when the barrier was weak, it would occasionally charge in. However, this time, the entire five continents and four seas were filled with Derivative Beasts.

Clearly, there was a problem with the barrier. After all, even the powerful Martial Uncle of Spring Garden had died.

“What about the situation in the Treasure Immortal City?” Shen Ping asked him.

The Treasure Immortal City was located in the Zhongsheng Continent. Originally, the headquarters was prepared to arrange for his wife, concubine, and Dao companions to be inside. However, because of his potential, they finally avoided it.

Mountain Fire Hall shook his head. “There are many boat-level members in the Treasure Immortal City, but… the power of the array is relatively weak. Although there aren’t many Derivative Beasts attacking there, half of the Treasure Immortal City has still been destroyed. The other immortal cities in the Zhongsheng Continent and the various large sects have also suffered considerable losses.” He comforted him, “Personal Disciple Shen, don’t worry. This kind of calamity has happened in the past. As long as we resist the first wave, the rest will not be a big problem.

“Furthermore, killing the Derivative Beast can obtain the energy of the strange beast. This is extremely beneficial to the cultivation of us cultivators. With your mid-stage Golden Core cultivation now, you can apply to kill the Derivative Beast.”

Shen Ping said seriously, “I will.”

He had killed countless Derivative Beasts in the Tower of Trials. Now that he could rely on the power of strange beasts to make stable Talisman Beast Diagrams and puppet beasts, as long as he did not go too far from the array, it was not a problem for him to survive. Moreover, with the purple jade bracelet, if he really encountered danger, he could quickly enter the Jingsi House.

Thus, after chatting with Hall Master Shan Huo, he came to Jingsi House and told the Head Hall Master why he was here.

“Disciple, you don’t have to deal with the matter of the Derivative Beast calamity. Your top priority is to cultivate the technique left behind by that Immortal Dao expert as soon as possible and sense the door of the strange beast to enter that mysterious place!

“You have the power of the strange beast. Killing the strange beast energy absorbed by the Derivative Beast will be of little help to you. No matter how many you kill, it won’t help the entire calamity.”

Shen Ping did not expect his master to reject him. He could not help but say, “Master, I, I just want to contribute.”

The Head Hall Master looked at Shen Ping. “There’s a problem with the barrier of the five continents and four seas. As long as it’s not resolved, there will be endless Derivative Beasts. Compared to the strange beasts, not to mention me, even all the cultivators in the five continents and four seas combined will find it difficult to resist.

“In fact, with just a thought from the strange beast, the entire five continents and four seas will collapse. At that time, you, I, and your wife and Dao companions will die..” She said word by word, “Now, do you still want to go out and kill the Derivative Beast?!”
