Chapter 2027: Quasi-Imperial Realm

He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

He saw that hundreds of people had already gathered around the mountain peak!

Yet among these hundreds, not a single person stepped forward to touch the great formation.

Everyone sat cross-legged in midair!

Above the heads of the hundreds, there was also a young man wearing a black Daoist robe embroidered with golden patterns.

This person also sat cross-legged in midair, with a calm expression, but the arrogant aura about him could not be hidden.

Everyone was very restrained, and no one dared to touch the formation.

When He Pingsheng flew over, he attracted many glances.

The young man in the golden Daoist robe also opened his eyes and looked at He Pingsheng, saying: "Very good, another one has come..."

"He is actually below the Divine Lord Realm?"

This is easy to distinguish.

Those below the Divine Lord Realm who come to the Equal Area will have their cultivation raised to the sixth layer of the Divine Lord Realm!

Cultivators above the Divine Lord Realm who come to the Equal Area will have their cultivation suppressed to the twelfth layer of the Divine Lord Realm!

Countless Divine Senses swept over He Pingsheng's body, and his heart skipped a beat.

He knew that under normal circumstances, ordinary people cannot see another's divine apertures.

But some people, if they possess special divine abilities, can still see them.

For example, He Pingsheng's Cave Void True Eye.

If these people saw Laozi's divine apertures, that would not be good.

Right!

From now on, when walking through the Divine Realm, I must also be careful; if someone sees through my thirty-six divine apertures, I might just kick the bucket.

Boom...

To come and not return is impolite!

He Pingsheng's Divine Sense also swept over, scanning everyone.

Especially the black-clad, golden-patterned youth high above.

At the same time, He Pingsheng opened his Cave Void True Eye and glanced at that youth.

Hmm?

He Pingsheng was shocked to discover that he could not see through this guy's divine aperture count!

What's going on?

The Cave Void True Eye is fine.

Could it be that this person has a treasure that can conceal divine aperture aura?

He Pingsheng walked over and clasped his hands toward the crowd.

No one spoke; the black-clad youth said: "Having come is good, just wait here for a while!"

"When the numbers are sufficient, we will break the formation together; after the formation is broken, we shall each rely on our own fortune and ability!"

"Good!" He Pingsheng clasped his hands, then immediately found a secluded corner and sat down cross-legged.

"Fellow Daoist, greetings..." He Pingsheng had just sat down when a cultivator not far to his left smiled and nodded at him, offering a greeting.

This person's cultivation is the sixth layer of the Divine Lord Realm.

Needless to say, like He Pingsheng, he is one who entered the Equal Area without having reached the Divine Lord Realm.

Such people are never ordinary.

You should know that even the Divine Venerable Realm master of the White Wing Hall once struggled to withstand the pressure at the edge of this Equal Area, yet this fellow managed to enter, showing he is certainly not ordinary.

Of course, all Divine Spirit Realm cultivators who enter are not ordinary.

"Greetings..." He Pingsheng nodded.

This person greeted He Pingsheng probably out of shared suffering, after all, we are all at the sixth layer.

"Hehehe..." This person shifted his body and actually sat down cross-legged not far from He Pingsheng, with only a zhang's distance between them.

He Pingsheng said nothing in return.

A chance encounter like floating duckweed—I suppose the other wouldn't ambush me, would he?

Even if he did, I still have a mass of demon blood that can trigger the divine ability of severing an arm to survive.

"I am Gao Ming, may I ask your esteemed name?" That person politely clasped his hands toward He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng said: "I am Wang Dun!"

He dared not use his real name.

In case, after rushing into this tomb later and obtaining something good, it would save him from being coveted by others.

Using the name of Wang Shixiong Wang once would do no harm.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wang..." Gao Ming said: "Are you also of the Divine Spirit Realm?"

He Pingsheng nodded: "That's right."

"Impressive, Fellow Daoist!" Gao Ming raised his thumb: "I am able to withstand this place's pressure only because I took the Divine Pill; otherwise, I could never have entered the Equal Area!"

"Did Fellow Daoist also open his divine apertures in advance?"

He Pingsheng did not answer that question, but instead countered: "It seems Fellow Daoist opened his divine apertures in advance!"

"Hmm..." Gao Ming said: "When I first stepped into the first layer of the Divine Spirit Realm, I swallowed the Nine Apertures Lingzhu and opened my nine apertures!"

He Pingsheng said: "I am the same, having received a Nine Apertures Lingzhu from a friend, and thus also opened my divine apertures in advance!"

There is nothing to hide about that.

If you have a Nine Apertures Lingzhu in your hand, others might still harbor designs on it, but if you have already consumed it, then basically there is no problem.

"Fellow Daoist... then after you reached the God Monarch Realm, how many apertures did you open in total?" Gao Ming looked at He Pingsheng with a face full of anticipation.

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

Your grandmother's!

Asking everything.

How am I supposed to answer this question of yours?

"This... cough cough cough..." He Pingsheng coughed lightly twice, saying with a bitter smile: "I once also thought I could open many divine apertures, twenty-something or even thirty-something!"

"But facts proved I don't have that kind of fortune!"

"In the end I only opened eighteen!"

"Eighteen, not bad either!" Gao Ming said with a grin: "You guess how many I opened?"

He Pingsheng said: "How could I possibly guess that?"

Gao Ming said: "I'm telling you to guess, so guess!"

"Fine!" He Pingsheng made a guess, saying: "Thirty divine apertures?"

"Holy shit..." Gao Ming directly slapped his thigh, saying: "How did you know I opened thirty divine apertures?"

"Hahaha... this is the bearing of a God Emperor, becoming an Assistant God in the future is a given!"

He Pingsheng curled his lip, then said in a low voice: "Lower your voice, aren't you afraid someone will hear and scheme against you in secret?"

Gao Ming's expression suddenly turned serious, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, saying: "Scheme against me?"

"Who dares scheme against me?"

"I'll have my Wang Shixiong kill him..."

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

"See!" Gao Ming pointed at the young man sitting at the highest spot, the one wearing a black Daoist robe embroidered with golden patterns, saying: "That's my Wang Shixiong... a Great God King who cultivates Time Dao Arts!"

Holy shit!

He Pingsheng was startled: No wonder!

So he has a backer!

"Cough cough cough..." He Pingsheng coughed lightly a few times, saying: "So it turns out you're from the Great Mechanism Group, my apologies, my apologies..."

"Hehehe..." Gao Ming said: "Not bad, I'm a direct descendant of the Time Orthodox God!"

"But unfortunately, what I cultivate is no longer Time Dao Arts!"

"I cultivate the Space Great Dao!"

"Look... my Wang Shixiong cultivates the Time Great Dao, he's even stronger, opened thirty-three divine apertures, even becoming a Titled God Emperor is possible in the future!"

"But... that's hopeless now, this Time Orthodox God has been occupied by my ancestor, so even though my Wang Shixiong is strong, in the future he can only stop at Assistant God!"

Time Orthodox God, huh...

He Pingsheng couldn't help but recall one thing: the Sacrificial Dao Yin-Yang Cicada!

Back then, he and Wang Dun precisely let the Sacrificial Dao Yin-Yang Cicada devour the Time Great Dao.

Heh...

There's a good show to watch!

"This..." He Pingsheng asked without changing expression: "What is a Great God King?"

Gao Ming said: "Great God King means the God King Realm peak twelfth layer, which is the Quasi-Emperor Realm!"
