Chapter 188: The Challenge After Three Months

Wang Ping appeared!

The Xichui Cultivation Realm, which had just calmed down a little, boiled over again.

They all rushed toward Yueya Terrace! Everyone wanted to see this heavenly pride whose fame spread throughout the Hundred Nations Alliance.

But soon word came out that the nearly hundred-year-old Wang Ping was still at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, making many wonder if such a slow cultivation pace deserved the title of heavenly pride.

The geniuses who had come from within the Alliance, not sparing ten thousand li, were even more excited, many shouting that they would knock Wang Ping's heavenly pride halo off.

All of this, for the time being, had nothing to do with Wang Ping, who sat cross-legged in the pavilion in the courtyard, silently pondering his path of Five Elements Unification.

In the room behind him was Yue'er Jie, who had already taken the Longevity Pill and was once again attempting to break through Foundation Establishment.

In a hundred-day Foundation Establishment, Yue Jie'er had only just begun ten days; during these ten days he was not idle either—the appearance of the Dao Arts Calming Spirit technique let him comprehend more runes, but for now, fifty runes of each of the five phases are enough for him.

Now that everything is complete for him, if he did not pursue Five Elements Unification, he could now form a Golden Core and become a Golden Core True Person capable of five hundred years of lifespan.

But Wang Ping coveted the Five-Colored Divine Light; these ten days he had already roughly read through the jade slips exchanged with Mu Ying and others, gaining much from the fragmentary insights of the Undying Tree inheritance.

If one wishes to generate the Five-Colored Divine Light upon achieving Five Elements Unification, first, one must comprehend the heaven-bestowed rune on the Vajra Carving.

Second, one must fuse the Five Elements Dao Intent!

Third, he must find an attribute-less cultivation method to balance the five phases.

Otherwise, cultivating any five-phase method would provoke corresponding five-phase fluctuations.

Nowadays the cultivation world has no attribute-less cultivation methods, because all cultivators train via spiritual roots; the elders once said that attribute-less methods are no longer suitable for the present cultivation world.

Wang Ping thought back and forth, perhaps he could use Dao Arts to replace the cultivation method; he uses the attribute-less method not for cultivation, but to balance the five phases.

So, anything that can balance the five phases will do.

At this moment, Wang Ping turned his gaze to the Gravity Technique; undoubtedly belonging to earth-element spells, but after Nangong's continual innovation, it has now shed its five-phase attribute.

Fortunately, if he truly wishes to comprehend these two, it won't take much time; Wang Ping is confident he can form a Golden Core within ten years, by which he will still be only about a hundred years old.

Just as Wang Ping was lost in thought, Wang Jun arrived here; he first glanced at the place where his mother was in seclusion, a flicker of worry appearing in his eyes, but he quickly hid that worry.

He quickly walked up to his uncle and respectfully said, 'Uncle, many Foundation Establishment cultivators have come outside, all seeking you; many have even named you directly for a challenge!'

Wang Ping, still in contemplation, opened his eyes, nodded, and said, 'I know!'

What is destined to come will come; Wang Ping has no intention of avoiding it!

With his current strength, there is no Foundation Establishment cultivator in this realm worth his notice.

'You stay here to guard your mother's seclusion; I'll be out for a while!' Wang Ping said lightly.

But before he could leave, a shift in his expression made him look toward the door, where a young Foundation Establishment cultivator had already barged in, walking toward Wang Ping with an arrogant expression!

'You are...'

Before he could finish, a hand condensed from wood-element spiritual power suddenly appeared and then clenched down on him fiercely.

'Mmm!'

The young cultivator wanted to shout in pain, but could not make a sound at all!

Wang Ping flicked his sleeve, and the cultivator was thrown out of the courtyard; his silhouette flashed and he was already outside.

Boom!

The young cultivator heavily slammed into the Foundation Establishment cultivator who was about to come here.

The several Foundation Establishment cultivators ahead were startled; upon seeing the person before them, they couldn't help but gasp in shock and exclaimed:

'Young Master Zhou!'

Swish!

Wang Ping's silhouette suddenly appeared one zhang ahead of them, hands behind his back, calmly gazing at these Foundation Establishment cultivators.

These cultivators, even if he let them attack him for a full day and night here, he would suffer no harm whatsoever!

If he truly wanted to attack, breaking their spells would be as easy as shooting an arrow—one each!

All the cultivators' gazes were drawn to the suddenly appearing Wang Ping; the image of Heavenly Pride Wang was already known to many cultivators, so a single glance was enough for them to recognize him.

'Heavenly Pride Wang!'

A cultivator exclaimed in surprise!

For a moment the scene fell into an eerie silence; this name, over the past year, had been spread as almost divine, and now seeing the true person suddenly before their eyes, some cultivators couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

This person is the one who, with Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, slew a late-stage Golden Core cultivator! Even with the aid of a formation, that is an astonishing feat.

But some still harbored doubts; upon seeing Wang Ping appear before them, their eyes flashed with sharp light.

'Mmm!'

At this moment, Young Master Zhou, lying on the ground, finally woke up; his groan also drew the attention of the present Foundation Establishment cultivators, and those who wished to challenge suddenly realized that the Great Perfection Foundation Establishment Young Master Zhou seemed to have just been thrown out, yet they felt no fluctuation at all.

For a moment, many of those cultivators felt a urge to retreat.

Young Master Zhou on the ground finally came to his senses; upon standing and looking ahead at the calmly standing Wang Ping, a sudden fear rose in his heart—how could their strength gap be so huge!

Zhou Ping had always been a heaven's favored son in their clan, and even in their region ranked among the top three talents, yet in Wang Ping's hands he couldn't withstand a single move.

Is he really still at the Foundation Establishment realm? Zhou Ping felt a flicker of doubt, but now was not the time to dwell on it; he stepped forward, clasped his fists, and apologized:

'I am Zhou Ping, a cultivator of the Zhou clan of Jinyuan State in the Hundred Nations Alliance; I have just been overly offensive, I hope you will forgive me, fellow Daoist!'

Just now Wang Ping's move had caused Zhou Ping to feel some fear, so he lowered his posture greatly.

Wang Ping nodded, glanced around at the cultivators, and said:

'Three months from now, at Yunluo Longevity Peak, I will receive challenges from all Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Hundred Nations Alliance; before then, do not come to disturb me!'

His words were plain, but no one dared to refute them then; Zhou Ping was already among the foremost in strength of this group of cultivators.

Such cultivators were nevertheless thrown straight out and knocked unconscious on the ground; anyone who isn't a fool knows that Heavenly Pride Wang's strength is unfathomable!

Thus, all the cultivators clasped their fists and said, 'Heavenly Pride Wang, you're too polite! We will certainly spread your words!'

Wang Ping nodded, turned, and walked toward the courtyard.

Everything happening outside, Wang Jun had already sensed it all through his divine sense; seeing the cultivators who had come from the Alliance, who had just been incredibly arrogant, but upon encountering his uncle became as obedient as a mouse meeting a cat, he felt a surge of admiration in his heart!

As the first batch of Foundation Establishment cultivators departed, the news that Wang Tianjiao would challenge the Alliance's Foundation Establishment cultivators at Cloud Net Longevity Peak in three months spread quickly.

In a short time, a large number of cultivators all rushed to Cloud Net!
