Chapter 1997: Life-and-Death Pressure

The Mountain-Binding Talisman is a special type of divine talisman, graded at fourth rank!

It's hard to say whether it's purely defensive or offensive; one can only say it combines both offense and defense!

He Pingsheng drew them stroke by stroke.

Actually, this isn't difficult!

As early as his time in the Spirit Realm and the Immortal Realm, He Pingsheng had crafted divine talismans; although one couldn't say he was extraordinarily gifted, he was definitely not bad at it.

This thing largely depends on Divine Sense; as long as your Divine Sense is strong enough, there's no problem.

The first one, failure!

Upon failure, the divine talisman turned directly into ashes, not even a waste talisman remained!

The second one: a waste talisman!

Good!

With a waste talisman, it can be enhanced.

Next, He Pingsheng continued enhancing the divine talisman paper!

In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.

He Pingsheng had enhanced six more sheets of divine talisman paper.

Unfortunately, of these six sheets, he wasted three, and the remaining three all became waste talismans.

So up to now, He Pingsheng has a total of four waste talismans.

He didn't hesitate, throwing all four waste talismans into the Ju Ju Bao Pen.

Time passed slowly.

Two years later, two of the waste talismans had been enhanced to supreme grade, while the other two still lay in the Ju Ju Bao Pen awaiting enhancement.

He Pingsheng took out a supreme-grade 【Mountain-Binding Talisman】 and examined it.

Divine Sense poured into it, and the information naturally surfaced.

Name: Mountain-Binding Talisman.

Grade: Fourth Rank!

Function: Upon activation, it transforms into an invisible rope that can bind the divine power and Divine Sense of enemies at the Divine Lord Realm and below, rendering them unable to launch attacks.

He Ping laughed.

This is the thing.

When fighting someone later, take one out and just throw it.

This thing can bind the divine power of a peak Divine Lord Realm cultivator, making him unable to use it himself.

Same for Divine Sense.

In this way, the opponent instantly becomes a cripple.

Good, this talisman is not bad!

Much better than the kind that kills directly; with this divine talisman thrown out, both the opponent and yourself have one more choice.

Want to kill? Fine, effortless; want to take as a servant? Also fine.

He Pingsheng put away all his things.

Because... the ship has arrived!

"Everyone... please disembark!"

A rough voice came from the cabin.

He Pingsheng disembarked leisurely, his Divine Sense and gaze shooting out almost simultaneously, scanning the surroundings.

Between heaven and earth, a vast desolation!

The space before him resembled a giant dividing line.

One side lush verdant green, the other side incomparably barren.

Countless mountain ranges stretched continuously, but the mountains didn't have much green vegetation; even where some divine grasses grew, they weren't green.

"This is the Collapsed Dao Fallen Yellow?"

"Truly desolate!"

"I've been here once; this Collapsed Dao Fallen Yellow looks desolate, but actually there isn't much difference inside — there are still Dao methods, still divine power!"

"Right, and there's the Life-and-Death Pressure too!"

The crowd disembarked from the great ship in twos and threes; many people directly turned into streaks of light and plunged into the forbidden zone with a bang.

Since it's a forbidden zone, it means there's danger.

He Pingsheng had learned this in advance as well.

There are three most dangerous things in the forbidden zone.

First: demonic beasts!

This is also the Divine Realm; divine veins are hidden within the mountain ranges, with divine veins comes divine power, and with divine power can be born divine grasses, divine medicines, and demonic beasts.

Moreover, the laws here are complete.

It's said some demonic beasts have extremely high ranks, even God King Realm.

If one encounters that level of demonic beast, it's basically game over.

Second danger: Dao method traps.

Although the heaven-and-earth rules in this forbidden zone are normal and complete; in certain places there are violent Dao method surges, causing Dao methods to condense and form traps.

These traps usually hide in the void; if one accidentally touches them, they'll be devoured instantly.

For example, a fire-attribute trap.

Once fallen into it, raging flames will immediately burn you.

If it's a fourth-grade Dao technique it's fine, but if one encounters a high-grade Dao technique trap, there's absolutely no way to survive.

Of course, everything has two sides.

There are downsides, so naturally there are upsides too.

The upside is that within these Dao technique traps, there's a chance Dao technique origins will appear.

This kind of Dao technique origin is different from the ordinary sense of Dao technique origins in the Divine Realm.

The Dao technique origins circulating in the Divine Realm are generally condensed by cultivators — they're Dao techniques others have comprehended.

The ones here, however, are innate origins.

This kind of innate origin is the most primal origin of all; He Pingsheng can comprehend it too, and it won't restrict his future Great Dao path just because he comprehended an origin.

Third danger: people!

Exactly!

This is also the most dangerous.

Because there are treasures in the Absolute Ground, yet no rules restricting anyone's behavior!

There's no morality here, no humanity!

Only strength is revered.

Others can snatch your things at will, and you can reap others' lives at will.

So, people are the most dangerous here.

"Fellow Daoists... anyone looking to team up?" A clear female voice reached He Pingsheng's ear.

He Pingsheng turned his head and saw a woman wearing a white Daoist robe embroidered with pink peach blossoms.

The woman had a graceful, curvaceous figure, and her looks were not bad either.

Just the expression on her face — somewhat arrogant.

He Pingsheng had just turned to glance at her when she let out a cold snort and said, "Divine Spirit Realm cultivators need not apply; we're only looking for Divine Lord Realm!"

"Any big brothers or little sisters at Divine Lord Realm eighth layer or above looking to team up?"

He Pingsheng:...............

What a piece of work!

I haven't even opened my mouth yet and you're already throwing shade at me?

Uh...

"Me me me..."

"This junior sister, I'm at Divine Lord Realm eighth layer!"

"Senior sister, is Divine Lord Realm seventh layer okay?"

The moment the woman's words fell, several male cultivators immediately gathered over.

Besides this white-clad woman, there were quite a few other people teaming up here.

He Pingsheng looked left and right; not wanting others to look down on him, he didn't actively seek anyone to team up, but instead turned into a streak of light and flew toward the Absolute Ground.

"Tch..." The white-clad, peach-blossom-embroidered woman watched He Pingsheng's retreating figure and smiled coldly: "A mere Divine Spirit Realm cultivator coming to join the fun — I knew it, he wants to latch on!"

"This old lady isn't someone just anyone can latch onto!"

After speaking, the woman even smoothed the beautiful hair at her forehead, then let it drape over her chest.

The instant he entered the Collapsed Dao Fallen Yellow Absolute Ground, He Pingsheng indeed felt a wisp of pressure.

This pressure was unlike any pressure he had encountered before.

It felt like something innate.

So this is what's called 【Life-and-Death Pressure】?

He Pingsheng shook his head and continued flying forward.

He had no map, didn't know how large this Collapsed Dao Fallen Yellow was, and naturally didn't know where the treasures were.

He Pingsheng didn't even know where he was right now.

But it didn't matter.

Your father isn't here to hunt for treasure.

I'm here to exploit the Gathering Treasure Immortal Basin's loophole.

Just need to reach the 【Equality Zone】, then I can hide anywhere.

At most I'll see if I can find fragments containing Primordial Purple Qi; the rest has nothing to do with me.
