Chapter 2071: Swallowing the Hun Tian Fruit, Breaking Through Another Half Layer

They agreed, so what are we to do?

Old Cao looked at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng's brow furrowed slightly: "Old Peng Daxi, this old turtle, is not simple!"

"Not necessarily!" Old Cao sneered: "He might just be a real turtle!"

The He and Peng families have been exchanging information with each other.

He Pingsheng learned of the Peng family's guest elder fleeing at the first opportunity, and he also knew that Peng Daxi did not want to start a war.

Thus, He Pingsheng set out to provoke Peng Daxi, having someone make three divine statues and send them over.

These three divine statues belonged to Peng Wei and two others who had defected from the Peng family to the God Venerable Realm.

Originally, I thought this would make Peng Daxi furious, then he would bring people to attack the He family, allowing us to clash head-on when the Peng family is at its weakest.

But I never expected Peng Daxi, this old brat, to be so timid?

He actually agreed!

"This is not a good thing!" He Pingsheng said with some worry: "Even if those guest elders don't come one by one, the Peng family still has ten God Venerable Realm cultivators!"

"When their ten God Venerable Realm cultivators are all gathered, our He family will find it difficult to cope!"

"Hey... Young Master, I think my uncle's words make sense!" Lao Diao sat on the ground not far in front of He Pingsheng, chuckling: "This Peng Daxi is nothing but a cowardly, fearful thing; even if the Peng family truly gathers ten people, he may not have the courage to come attack us!"

"Husband need not worry!" Seeing Qiao Huizhu comforted: "You have already reached the tenth layer of the Divine Spirit Realm, and the Divine Lord Realm is not far away!"

"Even if the Peng family gathers ten people, by then you will have reached the Divine Lord Realm and need not fear them!"

"That's true!" He Pingsheng nodded, his heart easing.

What Seeing Qiao Huizhu said is correct.

Moreover, the key point Seeing Qiao Huizhu does not know is that he still has the Hun Tian Fruit on him.

This is equivalent to being at the eleventh layer; wanting to break through to the Divine Lord Realm is no longer a dream.

"There's no way, we can't possibly go fight the Peng family, can we?" He Pingsheng stood up: "I will enter seclusion for a few years; the news from the Peng family's side must continue without cease!"

"Also, you few, keep watch on the Peng family's movements day and night!"

After He Pingsheng issued the command to Peng Wei, he entered his own dojo to begin seclusion.

In a flash, two years passed.

The Hun Tian Fruit was finally successfully enhanced by He Pingsheng.

Two were of spatial attribute, two were of ice attribute.

He Pingsheng took out one spatial-attribute Hun Tian Fruit and swallowed it directly.

Instantly, a double impact of Dao law and divine power made He Pingsheng shudder.

The imagined intense pain did not arrive.

Only a strange sensation arose within his body, as if two uncontrollable forces were constantly drilling through him.

Soon, He Pingsheng's flesh barrier broke through directly, and his understanding of spatial Dao law greatly increased.

Eleventh layer!

"Hehe... so refreshing... this fast, breaking through a layer in just a few breaths?" He Pingsheng joyfully rose from the futon.

But the next moment, his face drastically changed: "Wrong... there's still surplus power!"

Plop!

He Pingsheng sat back down on the futon, closed his eyes in calm, and again adjusted his mindset according to the direction of Dao law and divine power flow within his body.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths!

I thought this thing could break through the shackles again.

No...

It did not break through two layers.

To be precise, this one 【Hun Tian Fruit】 allowed He Pingsheng to break through about one and a half layers plus a bit!

In short, it's just short of two layers.

He Pingsheng looked again at the Hun Tian Fruit in his ring.

Three remain!

One spatial attribute, two ice attributes.

The spatial one is certainly familiar and need not be eaten, for these two are refined from the same original, containing identical spatial Dao law; eating it again would have little effect.

Moreover, high-grade divine fruits have a rule of one encounter only; eating more is useless.

Then... should I eat an ice-attribute one?

After thinking, He Pingsheng gave up again.

Eating the ice-attribute one could break through, but then spatial Dao law would be lacking a layer.

What's the difference between this and directly swallowing the Ping Shen Dan without comprehending the Dao?

He stood up and took a step out of his dojo.

Just as he stepped out, someone came before He Pingsheng.

"Young Master..."

It was Peng Wei.

He Pingsheng asked: "These two years, has the Peng family been honest?"

Peng Wei said: "There hasn't been much movement; those of the Peng family who were out traveling have all returned, ten God Venerables, not one missing!"

He Pingsheng was startled, his body trembling: "Just returned?"

"Are they going to attack our He family?"

"No..." Peng Wei shook her head: "Even over a year ago, they had already gathered all the God Venerables, but for some unknown reason, the other side has delayed taking action!"

"Ah?" He Pingsheng opened his mouth wide: "This..."

What are they waiting for?

Are they waiting for my cultivation to keep increasing?

This... can't be... can't be...

Peng Dahxi wouldn't really be a coward, would he?

Could it be that this guy isn't cautious, just purely cowardly?

"Good... closely monitor!" He Pingsheng waved his hand: "Go bring Lady Qiao and Lady Wen to me!"

"Even if they're in seclusion, have them summoned to me!"

Half an incense stick later, Wen Wannian and Seeing Qiao Huizhu arrived at He Pingsheng's dojo.

He Pingsheng sealed the formation layer by layer, waved his hand, and took out an ice-attribute 【Hun Tian Fruit】, looking at Seeing Qiao Huizhu and saying: "Senior sister, look at what this is?"

Seeing Qiao Huizhu opened her small mouth and said: "Such a rich ice-attribute principle!"

"A fourth-grade fruit, what kind of fruit is this?"

Wen Wannian beside him said somewhat surprised: "This... this is actually a Hun Tian Fruit?"

He Pingsheng was somewhat curious: "You also know about the Hun Tian Fruit?"

"Hmm..." Wen Wannian said, "I, your humble self, have often read many classics on elixirs and divine herbs, so I know this Hun Tian Fruit!"

"A fourth-grade Hun Tian Fruit, after consumption, can allow a Divine Lord realm cultivator to break through one Dao barrier, but this is top-grade, estimated to break through two layers, even three!"

He Pingsheng said: "Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

"Come... senior sister, you eat one to try!"

"For me?" Seeing Qiao Huizhu took a deep breath and asked, "Husband, have you eaten it?"

He Pingsheng said: "I have already eaten it!"

"Well..." Seeing Qiao Huizhu wasn't polite either, right beside He Pingsheng, in one breath swallowed this divine fruit.

The next moment, her aura began to rise.

Boom...

Flesh barrier broken!

Dao law increased by one layer!

Boom...

Break again!

Boom...

Break again!

After a few breaths, Seeing Qiao Huizhu surprisingly discovered that her cultivation had risen from the eighth layer of the Divine Spirit Realm to the eleventh layer of the Divine Spirit Realm.

"This..." she exclaimed in shock: "It actually let me break through three layers directly?"

He Pingsheng was completely stunned!

Why is that?

I, your damn self, ate one Hun Tian Fruit and only increased by one layer, from ten to eleven.

Senior sister Qiao actually increased by three layers in one go?

No justice at all, no justice at all!

Could it be that I need more?
