Chapter 1713: Thirty Thousand Years of Chanting

According to what Bai Lianchen said, one must search for the Ancient God Sand here by oneself.

Among the billions upon billions of ordinary stones, one must find that one grain of God Sand with a different texture.

Some people might not find a single piece even after a hundred or a thousand years.

Some people might find one as soon as they enter the water.

It varies!

Moreover, the locations of the Ancient God Sand here are not constant; they are constantly drifting along the seabed.

Therefore, there is no such thing as an undeveloped area; Ancient God Sand could exist in any area.

At the very beginning, He Pingsheng did indeed want to borrow some external force.

For example, if he could scoop up the pebbles on the seabed in one go and then slowly pick through them on the shore, the speed would definitely be faster.

But the problem arose very quickly.

Spiritual sense cannot be used within the seawater.

Without the ability to use spiritual sense, the storage spaces of magic treasures and immortal artifacts cannot be opened.

If the space cannot be opened, how can one collect the stones?

This was a dead end!

But He Pingsheng was slightly better off after all.

He possessed some divine abilities that did not require the support of spiritual sense, needing only the essence blood within his body.

"Boom—"

He Pingsheng stood on the seabed, and the power of his Qi and blood suddenly began to circulate.

His original height of eight feet instantly transformed into ten thousand zhang, one hundred thousand zhang, one million zhang...

His suddenly enlarged body stirred this area of the sea into rolling waves.

"Rise... for me..."

He Pingsheng let out a loud roar, and his massive hand, measuring hundreds of thousands of zhang, reached deep into the seabed. With a sudden scoop, billions upon billions of pebbles were grasped in his hand.

After finishing this, he exerted a sudden force with his feet.

His entire body instantly broke through the seawater and flew toward the void.

After his massive million-zhang body landed in the void, He Pingsheng opened his palm, and the billions upon billions of sand and stones were fixed in the void by him.

Then, his spiritual sense swept over, filtering through the stones one by one.

Very quickly, He Pingsheng had seen through these billions of sand and stones.

There was no Ancient God Sand.

Let alone mid-tier or high-tier, there wasn't even a single low-tier one.

Splash...

These sand and stones were thrown back into the sea by He Pingsheng.

He dove into the seabed again to continue scooping up sea sand.

Once, twice, three times...

Until He Pingsheng saw a certain Dao Origin realm immortal head-on, who was also using the same method to dive into the seabed, transforming into a million-zhang body to scoop up the sand in the sea, and then flying into the void to screen it.

At this moment, He Pingsheng realized that he was not the only clever person in the Immortal Realm.

The method He Pingsheng could think of, others could too.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

Sure enough, there isn't a single fool among those who cultivate immortality.

A few more days passed, and He Pingsheng saw a giant one million zhang tall; he didn't need to fly into the void at all, he just kept scooping up sea sand on the seabed and could then screen it.

After asking, he learned that there was no need to enter the void at all.

If there really was Ancient God Sand among the billions upon billions of grains of sand in this handful, there would be a different texture; once it was confirmed that there was Ancient God Sand inside, one could then go to the void to screen them one by one.

Good heavens!

So there are people smarter than me too.

Alright!

I surrender!

He Pingsheng slowly screened on the seabed.

In the end, he returned to the starting point!

There is simply no shortcut to finding and collecting this so-called Ancient God Sand; one can only search bit by bit.

Fortunately, He Pingsheng had nothing else to do.

Let's search!

While searching, he tried to chant the 【Supreme Profound Yellow Scripture】 while looking for sand and stones.

Hou Tu had once said that when chanting this Supreme Profound Yellow Scripture, one must be extremely sincere in one's heart, and one must not cultivate while chanting.

He Pingsheng was not cultivating, nor was he using his spiritual sense.

He was just chanting while collecting stones.

As for whether it had any effect, that didn't matter.

Anyway, if it had an effect, he would consider it a gain; if it had no effect, then he wouldn't lose anything either.

Time flowed slowly!

One year!

Two years!

Three years!

After a hundred years, He Pingsheng finally found the first piece of Ancient God Sand!

After a thousand years, he had found three!

In ten thousand years, he had found more than thirty!

But unfortunately, they were all low-tier; there were no mid-tier or high-tier ones.

As for top-tier, he hadn't even seen one.

However, another matter made He Pingsheng quite surprised.

After ten thousand years of stone collecting and chanting, the feeling of Dao-wither within He Pingsheng's body had actually disappeared.

It had loosened!

That is to say, he could continue to cultivate.

That also meant that He Pingsheng's chanting of the 【Supreme Profound Yellow Scripture】 over these years had indeed been useful.

Continue!

One year!

Two years!

Three years!

In a flash, another twenty thousand years passed.

For a full thirty thousand years, he had been chanting scriptures while collecting Ancient God Sand.

He Pingsheng had obtained a total of one hundred and twenty-two pieces of Ancient God Sand.

The pity was that they were still only low-tier.

He did not continue collecting here, but directly broke through the void and returned to the Tai Xu Men!

Then he ordered his two servants, Cai Shi and Jin Ku, to go to the Central Extreme Sea to collect Ancient God Sand.

As for He Pingsheng, he stayed in the Tai Xu Men, living with his Dao companion and educating his children, while absorbing the Ancient God Sand to improve his spiritual sense.

Day after day, year after year!

In sixty thousand years, He Pingsheng's spiritual sense was finally improved to the fifth layer of Dao Origin.

The gap between it and his current cultivation base was still a bit large.

But He Pingsheng was not in a hurry!

Because being in a hurry was useless.

"Father... Father..."

After He Pingsheng came out of seclusion, He Tianya arrived at his Dao field in a great hurry.

"What's wrong?" He Pingsheng looked at his son and smiled.

He Tianya was still at the first layer of the Dao Origin realm.

He had reached his limit.

This was also the highest realm He Pingsheng could bring his son to after exhausting everything.

Over these years, with no hope for the Great Dao, he had put all his energy into managing the sect and his disciples. Now, the Tai Xu Men was flourishing and extremely prosperous, even blossoming everywhere in the two places of Gouchen Heaven and Longevity Heaven, controlling as many as several thousand immortal domains.

He Tianya had made an indelible contribution!

"Father, one piece of good news and one piece of bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" He Tianya said with a chuckle, sitting down opposite He Pingsheng as he spoke.

He Pingsheng said: "You brat, still playing coy with me!"

"Fine... tell me the good news first!"

He Tianya took a deep breath and said: "Father, the good news is that over in Ziwei Heaven, they say that my Uncle-Master Wang Dun broke through the bottleneck of the eleventh layer of Dao Origin a while ago, and has now entered the twelfth layer!"

"And he has fused nine Great Dao orders; I'm afraid he will soon advance to the Hunyuan realm!"

"Ah?" He Pingsheng was slightly shocked: "So fast?"

This guy not only broke through the bottleneck but also fused nine Great Dao orders?

Tsk tsk tsk...

Entering Hunyuan, the most difficult step is fusing nine orders.

Now that everything is ready, even the east wind has arrived; for Wang Dun, reaching Hunyuan is just a matter of time.

"Good, good, good!" He Pingsheng asked again: "Then what about the bad news?"

He Tianya's expression suddenly became serious; he frowned slightly and whispered: "The bad news is that your old rival, the reincarnated body of the Heavenly Stop God Venerable, Han Houzhi, has also broken through the bottleneck and entered the twelfth layer of Dao Origin."
