Chapter 728: Mahayana Demon Emperor

He Pingsheng obtained the poison Dao primordial sources of the sixth and seventh ranks.

As for this thing, he certainly has no time now to fuse and refine it to strengthen his body.

But it doesn't matter.

He Pingsheng still understood the common knowledge of the Stone Platform Assembly.

Each Stone Platform Assembly never ends in a short time.

Sometimes, this assembly lasts a hundred years or even longer.

Therefore, during the Stone Platform Assembly, one can also break through one's cultivation base and attain Dao insight!

"Thank you!" After obtaining the poison Dao primordial source, He Pingsheng directly sent it into the 【Treasure Basin】.

Then he began strengthening it.

Now that He Pingsheng's cultivation had reached Void Refinement, the Treasure Basin's strengthening ability had risen again, capable of enhancing seventh-rank items.

Such as the Heaven-Piercing Magic Treasures, for example.

The poison Dao primordial source contained sixth- and seventh-rank components, so the Treasure Basin had no trouble strengthening it.

The two exited the Yinming Emperor Palace.

He Pingsheng was separately assigned to a vast palace.

Zhou Qingmei, an expert in arrays, helped He Pingsheng inspect the arrays inside and outside the palace; only after confirming there were no issues did he move in.

The next morning, the poison Dao primordial source had been strengthened into two portions, and its quality had changed—from ordinary poison Dao primordial source to supreme-grade.

This was perfect for He Pingsheng.

These poison Dao primordial sources were not only sufficient for his Void Refinement body strengthening, but would remain usable even after reaching Body Integration.

Soon, half a month passed.

The day of departure had arrived!

He Pingsheng, Zhou Qingmei, Zi Qing Xianzi, and Ting Tong all arrived before Nan Qiqi's Dao Hall.

Beside Nan Qiqi were many others!

Because during the Stone Platform Assembly, each Emperor Domain could send ten contestants.

Besides Nan Qiqi, there were nine others.

None of these people could travel alone—they each brought their own Dao Protectors.

Thus, altogether, the Zhu Que Emperor Domain's delegation to the Stone Platform Assembly numbered roughly fifty to sixty.

"Let me introduce you!" Nan Qiqi smiled at He Pingsheng: "This is our Zhu Que clan's genius, my uncle's generation—Nan Qing, a Void Refinement eleventh-layer cultivator!"

Nan Qing was a tall man wearing a crimson Dao robe.

"This is the Baihu Clan's Holy Maiden, Bai Yuyu!"

Bai Yuyu smiled faintly at He Pingsheng: "He Daoist, we've met before… You don't forget me from last time the Yinming Emperor Palace opened, do you?"

He Pingsheng quickly bowed: "Of course not—I've met Lady Bai!"

Back then, He Pingsheng had seen the top eight on the Sacred Flame List; Bai Yuyu ranked fourth, her brother Bai Yutang third.

In the blink of an eye, over two hundred and seventy years had passed.

Thus, Bai Yuyu had advanced from her former early Soul Transformation realm to Void Refinement.

And now she was Void Refinement twelfth-layer.

Her cultivation speed was even faster than He Pingsheng's.

"Hehe… good!" Bai Yuyu still held respect for He Pingsheng: "But back then you were Long Zhe, now you're He Pingsheng… I'm not sure how to address you anymore."

"Should I call you Long Daoist or He Daoist?"

He Pingsheng felt slightly awkward: "Er… sorry, back then… I had reasons I couldn't reveal!"

"Oh!" Bai Yuyu said: "I understand, He Daoist!"

Among Nan Qiqi's group, besides He Pingsheng, Bai Yuyu, and Nan Qing, there were six others, all of whom exchanged formal greetings with He Pingsheng.

These were all elite talents from the most prominent clans of the Zhu Que Emperor Domain.

There was a prodigy of the Chongming Clan, though not the Chongming Crown Prince He Pingsheng had seen before.

And there was the Baihu Clan!

The Baihu Clan was interesting—it was Hu Tianci.

"Hmph…" Upon seeing He Pingsheng, Hu Tianci sneered.

Yet he silently cursed his own bad luck.

Back then, he'd foolishly tried to kill and steal treasures—how had he Pianpian ended up bumping into He Pingsheng? If he'd known that Soul Transformation cultivator was He Pingsheng, he wouldn't have chased after him at all!

Damn it, damn it!

But Hu Tianci was clearly in the wrong, so upon seeing He Pingsheng now, he said nothing of their past grievance.

Since he didn't mention it, He Pingsheng wouldn't bring it up either.

Hummm…

At that moment, the void rippled.

Before them suddenly appeared a spatial passage.

The appearance of this spatial passage was extremely familiar to He Pingsheng—nearly identical to the passage he created with his 【Spatial Wormhole】 technique.

This meant a Great Emperor had arrived.

Indeed, the next moment, a woman in purple Dao robes stepped out of the spatial passage.

Everyone bowed in salute upon seeing her.

Nan Qiqi said: "Nan Qiqi, respectfully welcoming White Cloud Demon Emperor!"

Everyone followed: "Respectfully welcoming White Cloud Demon Emperor!"

Baiyun was the ancestral elder of the Baihu Clan and also a Mahayana Emperor.

Unlike others, her Mahayana Emperor cultivation was low—only first-layer.

He Pingsheng had heard rumors about White Cloud Demon Emperor: it was said that when she was once hunted, Zhu Que Demon Emperor saved her; at that time, White Cloud was still a Baihu cultivator in Body Integration, not yet a Mahayana Emperor.

Zhu Que Demon Emperor not only saved her but also guided her to break through her bottleneck and become a Mahayana Demon Emperor.

Grateful to Zhu Que Demon Emperor, White Cloud swore a Heavenly Oath to remain utterly loyal to the Zhu Que Clan.

Thus, this journey to the Stone Platform Assembly was led by White Cloud Demon Emperor.

Naturally, she was the one to open the spatial passage leading to the Stone Platform Assembly.

"Alright, children, is everyone here?" White Cloud Demon Emperor had no Emperor's arrogance—she was gentle and kind.

"Yes!" Everyone replied cheerfully.

But White Cloud frowned sharply, turning abruptly toward the center of the Emperor Palace: "Such a powerful aura—what is that?"

"Who is here?"

Ordinary Void Refinement or even Body Integration cultivators could not sense Qiao Hui Zhu's Dao enlightenment.

But White Cloud was a Mahayana Emperor.

The moment she arrived, she sensed the vast magic power and Dao fluctuations behind.

Nan Qiqi bowed: "It's He Pingsheng's Dao partner—she's currently advancing her cultivation; her condition is unusual."

White Cloud waved her hand: "I naturally know it's extraordinary. Stay here, none of you move—I'll go take a look…"

Saying this, White Cloud became a streak of light and flew off.

"Elder… Elder, don't go!" Nan Qiqi shouted frantically, but it was too late—White Cloud Demon Emperor had already flown away.

He Pingsheng, uneasy, also transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the rear.

After all, even if the other was a Mahayana Emperor, he couldn't let her disturb Qiao Hui Zhu's cultivation.

He Pingsheng landed in this space and quickly called out: "Elder… don't come any further!"

"It will disturb her cultivation!"
