Chapter 2001: The Power of the Mountain-Binding Talisman

Put the petty man first, the gentleman after!

He Pingsheng did this to avoid future trouble!

For instance, what if they found Hongmeng fragments later?

He couldn't possibly split them evenly with this guy, right?

So he made it clear beforehand, to save this bastard from feeling he'd gotten the short end of the stick later.

"Good..." Unexpectedly, Wu Dabao agreed quite readily, saying: "Fine, when the time comes, it'll be entirely up to how Fellow Daoist He allocates them!"

He Pingsheng said: "Let me reiterate — those extremely rare treasures, you have no share in them... because you don't know where those places are, but I do!"

"No problem!" Wu Dabao waved his hand, indicating he understood.

Good that he understands!

Boom—

The flying boat skimmed low once again.

Although it was low altitude now, it wasn't as low as at the start.

Along the way, they also encountered some yaoguai, both third tier and fourth tier.

Third-tier yaoguai were killed outright; for fourth-tier yaoguai, He Pingsheng wouldn't clash head-on — he basically just accelerated away.

Most yaoguai couldn't catch up anyway.

And over this past year-plus, He Pingsheng had indeed gathered quite a few third- and fourth-tier divine materials.

All these things were split evenly between him and Wu Dabao.

Fifth tier — never seen any.

He did run into a few blind human Divine Lords who tried to seize He Pingsheng's divine boat; He Pingsheng didn't fight them either, just flew off directly.

Those people couldn't catch up for a while, and after a long time they gave up.

"This way..." He Pingsheng pointed slightly in a direction, saying: "Flying in this direction for about six days, we'll run into a valley where Heavenly Yellow Plums grow!"

"Who knows if they've been picked by someone by now!"

"Ah?" Wu Dabao said: "Heavenly Yellow Plum? That's great — consuming it lets a Lower God of the Divine Spirit realm rapidly replenish divine power!"

"I've heard that if it's top-grade, it can almost instantly refill a dried-up godhead!"

"Mm!" He Pingsheng said: "Let's go... take a look!"

He piloted the flying boat, skimming all the way.

Before reaching the valley where the Heavenly Yellow Plums grew, on the fifth day, a massive yaoguai suddenly appeared beside He Pingsheng's speeding flying boat.

It was a divine bird.

The divine bird's cultivation had reached the Divine Lord realm, its body dozens of zhang long, entirely black except for its two wings and head which were white.

Boom—

He Pingsheng sensed danger; the next moment he slammed the red button.

The flying boat left an afterimage in the void and shot out.

He thought this would shake the pursuer.

But in less than three breaths, that black-bodied, white-winged big bird caught up again.

And this time, without a word, a massive black claw slammed toward He Pingsheng's flying boat.

He Pingsheng hit accelerate again!

He finally dodged the big bird's claw attack.

He'd dodged it, but the big bird seemed to take it as a humiliation, roared angrily twice, gave chase fast, then raised its claw and struck down again.

This time, not only divine power, but rule power also surged out.

"Fellow Daoist He... run..."

Whoosh—

Wu Dabao's speed was very fast; his first move was to flee!

He jumped ship directly.

Not the slightest resistance.

He Pingsheng wasn't much slower; his whole body shifted sideways and flew off.

Then with a bang, that massive claw slammed onto the flying boat.

The poor fourth-tier divine boat, the Divine Profound Heaven Boat, collapsed directly.

Smashed to pieces!

"Damn thing..." He Pingsheng cursed loudly in a rage, turned, and took out a divine talisman.

This was a divine talisman he had finished drawing and already strengthened earlier: the Mountain-Binding Talisman.

Cheep cheep cheep—

The big bird shrieked at He Pingsheng a few times, seemingly furious at being cursed, and chased over again.

Then a divine talisman fell from the sky, landing squarely — *pa* — right on its head.

The next moment, the divine power and Divine Sense inside this colossus were simultaneously bound; its attack lost follow-up force and quickly collapsed.

Even the power to fly was gone; it could only spread its wings and watch helplessly as it glided with the wind, crashing hard into the ground all the way.

With a huge bang, it smashed a large patch of blood-red rock.

He Pingsheng descended!

He didn't look at the big bird, but raised his head to check the sky.

Wu Dabao had already run without a trace.

Mm...

He Pingsheng smiled.

He would not blame the other party for being heartless and unrighteous, because that was the optimal solution, and also the optimal choice.

If it were him, not knowing the other party's cultivation and strength, he would also abandon them without hesitation.

Understandable!

"Damn human... what exactly did you do to me?" That large bird roared furiously at He Pingsheng, its wings flapping non-stop, but unfortunately, without divine power to support it, it could not even fly.

It could only flutter in place non-stop.

He Pingsheng, on the other hand, hovered several dozen zhang above its head, looking down at it coldly, and said: "I used a divine talisman to bind the divine power and Divine Sense within your body!"

"Don't try to resist; within three days, you absolutely cannot recover!"

"After three days, this divine talisman's effect will naturally dissipate!"

"Now, let's have a talk. You delayed my journey, and moreover smashed my divine boat!"

"How do you intend to compensate?"

He Pingsheng stared at that large bird.

The large bird sneered coldly, and said: "Human, you are merely a Divine Spirit realm cultivator; are you also qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

"I'll just wait here for three days; once my divine power recovers, I'll be able to slaughter you!"

"You, a mere Divine Spirit realm, even if this Seat let you bind my divine power, so what?"

"Right now, go ahead and use all your strength; let's see if you can even give this Seat an itch?"

"Hahaha... hahaha..."

After speaking, this fellow laughed unscrupulously.

Then, his laughter abruptly ended.

Because he saw that He Pingsheng held a divine talisman in his hand.

Fourth-grade!

Moreover, it emitted an extremely unusual aura.

"This... this is... a supreme-grade?" The large bird's body trembled.

He Pingsheng said indifferently: "Correct... supreme-grade!"

"This talisman has a name, called 【Desolate Thunder Divine Talisman】..."

"Once activated, it can summon a bolt of purple divine thunder; theoretically speaking, it can kill any cultivator of the Divine Lord realm!"

"However... you are of the demon race, with thick skin and tough flesh; perhaps this one strike cannot kill you!"

"But who knows; I hope you can survive it!"

"Fellow Daoist... Fellow Daoist Fellow Daoist Fellow Daoist..." That large bird sprawled on the ground instantly went limp: "Fellow Daoist... don't be impulsive... let's talk nicely, everything is negotiable!"

"I am willing to compensate!"

"You say, what do you want?"

"Everything can be discussed!"

He Pingsheng laughed: "Good... you said it yourself, everything can be discussed!"

"Look, you smashed my divine boat!"

"For us who enter the Absolute Land, speed is time, is opportunity and resources!"

"First, you must compensate me with a flying boat exactly the same, with speed no less than that one!"
