Chapter 1940: Ten Layers of the Divine Sovereign Realm

"What's the use?"

Zi Ling thought for a moment and said: "For us, the known uses of Hongmeng Purple Qi are just two!"

"One is that it can turn ordinary divine gold into Hongmeng Purple Gold. When used for refining artifacts, the resulting divine artifacts possess growth attributes!"

"The second use is to absorb Dao laws!"

"Young Master, don't underestimate the function of absorbing Dao laws—it's not just about letting you cast Dao-law-type divine abilities earlier!"

"Oh?" He Pingsheng's eyes lit up immediately: "Any other uses? Tell me!"

"Well!" Zi Ling said: "Young Master, you also know that when cultivators in the Divine Realm reach the Mid-Divine stage, they can open divine orifices to comprehend the Dao laws of heaven and earth!"

"Comprehending them out of thin air is definitely extremely slow!"

"And comprehending the Dao is extremely difficult!"

"But with Hongmeng Purple Qi, it's different—when you want to comprehend a certain Dao law, you just need to use Hongmeng Purple Qi to absorb it. Isn't that much more convenient and much faster?"

He Pingsheng understood.

Old Cao and Wang Dun had both reminded him: if he wants to achieve the Great Dao and cultivate to the God Emperor level, one key point is that he must not absorb or devour others' source Dao laws—he must comprehend them himself, out of thin air.

This is very difficult.

Capturing Dao laws from the void is hard, and filtering out the ones you need from billions of Dao laws is even harder.

But now, with Hongmeng Purple Qi, it's different—Hongmeng Purple Qi can pre-absorb the Dao laws you want to comprehend.

Just think about it—you know it will be much faster.

This could also be considered a kind of joy.

However, He Pingsheng currently can't use it yet—if he wants to comprehend the Dao, he first needs to reach the Divine Spirit Realm, then open his divine orifices.

After accepting Zi Ling and Hong Ling, He Pingsheng continued his secluded cultivation to improve his realm.

More than thirty years later, Yu Si returned.

"Young Master... the servant deserves death..." Upon seeing He Pingsheng, Yu Si immediately flopped down and knelt before him.

He Pingsheng was startled—he had thought Yu Si had lost the Nine Apertures Exquisite Jade.

Otherwise, why such a grand display of confession?

"What happened?" He helped Yu Si up and asked.

Yu Si said: "Young Master, the servant deserves death. You entrusted me with a task, but I failed to complete it!"

"I went to the Seven Lodges Divine Kingdom where Young Master Wang resides, searched the divine capital for a long time, and even my father came with me—but we still couldn't find Young Master Wang!"

"Not found?" He Pingsheng frowned slightly.

Yu Si took out the jade box and offered it to He Pingsheng, biting her lip pitifully: "Please punish me, Young Master!"

He Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief: as long as the item wasn't lost, it's fine.

"I understand!" He nodded and said: "My senior brother loves to wander the four seas—he's someone who can't stay still. It's normal you didn't find him!"

"Forget it—we'll talk later!" He Pingsheng put the jade box away.

"Yes!" Yu Si, however, did not rise, still kneeling on the ground: "No matter what, the servant has failed to do well—please punish me, Young Master!"

"Punishment, huh..." He Pingsheng's gaze swept over Yu Si, then he smiled and asked: "Yu Si... do you have a Dao Companion?"

"No!" Yu Si shook her head: "This servant, from childhood to adulthood, has only known cultivation—never had a Dao Companion, nor ever been intimate with any man..."

As she said this, her cold face blossomed with rosy clouds.

He Pingsheng said: "Very well... come, this Young Master will teach you a game!"

……

In the blink of an eye, seven yuan of time passed.

He Pingsheng's cultivation rose to the eighth layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm!

After another eleven yuan, the ninth layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm.

After another nineteen yuan, the tenth layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm.

Each breakthrough now requires more and more time.

Of course, He Pingsheng's cultivation improvement isn't that simple.

Besides raising his cultivation, he has also been refining his body and refining his spirit.

That 【Peeling Extremity Life Rebirth Coiling Thunder Method】 he has cultivated to the tenth layer of the Divine Sovereign Scroll, swallowing the Three Zhang Valley to refine his spirit—He Pingsheng's Divine Sense intensity has also been refined to the tenth layer.

Now, his combat strength is several times greater than when he emerged from the Ancient Heaven Relics.

"Young Master... Young Master..."

When He Pingsheng wanted to continue his secluded cultivation, a clear voice came from outside the main hall.

"Enter!" He Pingsheng moved his Divine Sense, and layer upon layer of formations opened.

A person in all-black attire, tall and slender, Zhou Qing Mei walked to his front, then flopped down and knelt on the ground: "Young Master..."

He Pingsheng asked: "Qing Mei, what's the matter?"

Since Zhou Qing Mei came to the Divine Realm, she and He Pingsheng have grown distant—barely exchanged a few words.

Of course, the main reason is that He Pingsheng has almost always been immersed in cultivation.

Not to mention Zhou Qing Mei—even Kong Jiaojiao has been neglected by him for a long time.

"Young Master... Wang Dun Young Master sent someone to deliver something... take a look!" Zhou Qing Mei handed a ring to He Pingsheng's hand.

He Pingsheng was slightly surprised: sent by Wang Shixiong Wang?

What kind of thing is this?

He cautiously extended a thread of Divine Sense to testingly touch the ring.

Just in case there's deceit.

It's said Wang Dun sent it—who knows what conspiracy might be inside.

However, the result was good — it really was something Wang Dun sent.

A jade box, a jade slip.

He Pingsheng picked up the jade slip first; a sweep of his Divine Sense and Wang Dun's voice came from the jade slip: "Hehehe... Junior Brother, I got hold of some good stuff, sharing one stalk with you!"

"Break through to the Divine Spirit Realm soon!"

That was all!

He Pingsheng opened the jade box, then his brow furrowed and his mouth twitched twice: Good heavens, good heavens!

Nine-Aperture Exquisite!

Holy shit, Wang Shixiong got his hands on this stuff too?

Forget it... since he could send me one stalk, it means he has some himself, so I don't need to rack my brains trying to send him any more.

"Young Master, what is this thing?" Zhou Qingmei asked curiously.

He Pingsheng shook his head: "Don't ask about this, it's no good for you!"

Those who know what Nine-Aperture Exquisite is, know; if word of this thing leaked out, the He family would have endless trouble thereafter.

But Zhou Qingmei thought He Pingsheng was scolding her, and she actually flopped down to her knees again: "Young Master, this servant was wrong, this servant shouldn't have asked!"

"It's fine!" He Pingsheng patted her shoulder and said: "I'm not blaming you, it's just that this matter is of great importance!"

"Young Master!" Zhou Qingmei grabbed He Pingsheng's arm and said: "Then... I don't care, please punish this servant!"

????

He Pingsheng suddenly became alert.

Good heavens, this tone and wording, why does it sound so familiar?

Zhou Qingmei directly hugged one of He Pingsheng's arms into her embrace: "Please punish this servant; if Young Master does not punish me today, this servant will not leave!"

Before He Pingsheng could speak, Zhou Qingmei added: "This servant and Young Master, back in the Immortal Realm we nearly performed the marriage rites, but every time we were interrupted by some inexplicable things; now this wife has suffered countless ages, could it be I still cannot enter Young Master's eyes?"

"Does Young Master despise this servant?"

Zhou Qingmei lifted her head, eyes misty with tears.
