In addition, he had many dharma treasures in his hands. The Pure Jade Bottle, the Fuxi Eight Trigrams Diagram, the Heaven and Earth Mirror, Pangu’s Heaven-Opening Axe, the Immortal Vanquishing Sword, and so on had all been obtained through counterattack missions over the years. In addition, he had various divine powers, such as the Universe in the Sleeve, Three Heads and Six Arms, Divine Eye, Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, and so on. His combat strength was very valiant.

At this point, unless he encountered that terrifying existence from the Netherworld, no one could kill him. Even if he really died, he could rely on the Great Dao Sword Seal to revive.

“It’s a pity that I didn’t use the Pangu Heaven Splitting Technique to create a Sage’s secret technique!”

This was the only regret. However, Shen Ping was not in a hurry. In any case, from the situation of the counterattack simulation, there was still enough time to slowly comprehend it. Basically, he would be able to create a Sage’s technique in about 2,000 years.

Actually, if he went to the Three Yin Earth Vein, extracted the Black Demon Seed, and comprehended the Twelve Golden Lotus Projection Technique, he could create it himself. But he would be tainted by the karma of that terrifying existence, so he endured it.

Reality proved that without using the Black Demon Seed and the 12 Golden Lotuses, he could live for hundreds of thousands of years in this world. Even if he failed to fight for the dragon, he could still be revived through the Great Dao Seal. But once he was tainted by karma with the terrifying existence in the depths of the Netherworld, he would be very difficult to revive.

“Husband! Princess Jinzhen is here,” Xin Xiang said. In the past seven to eight hundred years, Xin Xiang had officially become Shen Ping’s concubine. She had also cultivated the Taiyi Scripture to the level of a Perfected Lord. This speed was very terrifying, mainly because Shen Ping helped her clear her body and cleanse her magic power every few days.

Princess Jinzhen was not bad either. She was already a Perfected Lord. As for Xing’er, she was slightly slower. After Princess Jinzhen came over, her face was filled with a smile. Over the past 500 years, this princess’s face had not changed much. Clearly, she had a technique to retain her beauty. “Husband, there’s news from Perfected Song Guan that his Daoist temple has already given birth to a Spiritual Master!”

When Shen Ping heard this, he nodded. “It’s not bad. We didn’t waste so many resources!” With his strength, he could easily obtain many precious resources in the East Sea, the South Sea, and the Nine State. In addition, Princess Jinzhen had sent them from the Imperial City. With so many resources, he could easily create a Spiritual Master.

“What about the army?”

“30,000 elite soldiers have been trained. All of them can fight against lesser demons with martial arts!”

The lesser demons among the demons were probably equivalent to Daoists who had just condensed their Dharmic powers not long ago. This strength was actually not weak. After all, it was martial arts and could sense the aura of heaven and earth. This was the Connate realm.

“Then send them to the mountains in the southwest to sharpen themselves and see blood.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In fact, compared to the navy, the army was a little inferior. Among the navy, there were hundreds of people who had reached the level of the River God. There were also some who were comparable to greater demons, which were at the level of Spiritual Masters.

Of course, compared to the Imperial Court, these strengths were average. Although the Imperial Court was getting weaker, it still had more than 300,000 elite navy soldiers and more than a million soldiers. This did not include the elites guarding the Imperial City.

However, the two prefectures could only supply so many elites. If not for the fact that the two prefectures had been prosperous and lively for the past five hundred years, it was impossible for the navy and the army to exceed 100,000!

Next, Shen Ping did it with Princess Jinzhen seven times before letting her leave in satisfaction.

Late at night, he looked up at the moon. He thought of his wives and concubines and wondered how they were doing now. The world under the operation of the supreme stone tablet was probably the same as the time flow in the endless world. If he stayed here for tens of thousands of years, the Meng family would definitely be suspicious. However, he could not care about anything else now.

Fortunately, he had been reincarnated until now and had grown quite quickly. Especially after comprehending his Dao heart and obtaining the Great Dao Sword Seal, he would be able to become a Sage in two to three thousand years at most.

When the Black Sky Swallows the Moon once every 5,000 years, he would be able to directly leave this world. This was a last resort. If he did not obtain the yellow bracelet and gathered all five bracelets, it would be more difficult for him to enter the yellow giant hall world next time, and he had to go to a top-notch realm.

“The world changes very quickly. Perhaps in less than a thousand years, the land of the Nine States will be completely chaotic. At that time, heroes will compete for supremacy and see if they can successfully compete for the dragon.”

Shen Ping pondered. He had learned about the past history from Princess Jinzhen. Almost every 10,000 years, there would be an alternation of the imperial court. Once the Dragon Competition was successful, one could obtain the Imperial Jade Seal that could extend one’s lifespan. That Imperial Jade Seal was most likely the authority of the yellow bracelet.

“It’s time to inquire about the other state capitals.”

Thinking of this, he immediately instructed Xing’er to form a hidden intelligence organization and send it to the various states to investigate the situation. If it was him, it would be too conspicuous. With his true soul power, no matter where he went, he would be discovered.

Two years later, the Dark Palace organization that Xing’er had established reported the situation of the various prefectures. As expected, there were mighty figures making preparations. After all, in another two thousand years, the Imperial Court would enter the true final stage.

“All of them are cunning, and none of them are fools.”

The yellow bracelet was related to the supreme stone tablet. Everyone wanted to seize the jade seal first and plan slowly. Although he might not succeed after obtaining it, he could occupy the right time and place.

The other prefectures could not mobilize much strength because those who could participate in the Dragon Fight had to follow certain rules. Daoism, Confucianism, and Militarism, as well as some Mountain Gods, River Gods, Dragon Gods, and Dragon Sovereigns could only assist behind the scenes. Even an expert like Shen Ping could not participate. Otherwise, it would backfire on his luck.

“Hmph, I have all kinds of magical equipment obtained from the counterattack simulation. How can these guys compete with me when the time comes?”

Other mighty figures could also refine Dharma treasures, but no matter how they refined them, they could not compare to the powerful Dharma treasures obtained by Shen Ping. Therefore, he was extremely confident in this competition. Through the counterattack simulation, there were several times when he won the contest.

…

Another thousand years passed.

Shen Ping relied on the counterattack simulation to obtain the Nuwa secret technique again. Relying on the two secret techniques of Pangu and Nuwa, he finally created a Dao Lord-level secret technique. His comprehension of the Sword Dao became deeper.

Two hundred years later, he had also completely comprehended the top Great Dao and Sword Dao. Which meant, he had already truly become a late-stage Dao Origin Realm expert in the Endless Region. Even if he did not become a Dao Lord, he could still rely on the Dao Lord-level puppet left behind by the master of the Realm Sea Peak to suppress the entire Skyflame Realm.

Next, as long as he comprehended a trace of the Great Dao Origin, he could become a Sage. This was very difficult for other late-stage Dao Origin Realm experts, but for Shen Ping, who had already walked his own path and had the Great Dao Seal, it was very easy. It was only a matter of time.

“All that’s left is a lot of work.”

Shen Ping no longer focused on the creation of secret techniques. Instead, he focused on nurturing Changzhou, the navy, the Daoist, the military, and the army of Jinzhou. He’s preparing to fight for the dragon with all your might.

But the most important thing is actually Changzhou. After he advanced to the Heavenly Lord of Changzhou, he began to control the prefectures and counties of Changzhou. Other than Perfected Song Guan, he also chose White Cloud Temple and the other two Daoist temples and gave them Daoist techniques. He even took out Nuwa’s Visualization of Heaven Mending.

At the same time, he cleaned up all the roads, mountains, rivers, and lakes in Changzhou. Therefore, in the past thousand years, the population of Changzhou and Jinzhou Prefecture had constantly soared. Hundreds of thousands of people had soared to millions. The citizens in Changzhou City were almost comparable to the Imperial City.

Princess Jinzhen’s residence had also been moved to Changzhou City.

“The number of road stations in Changzhou will increase by a hundred in a hundred years. I need to connect all county-level units, as well as villages and towns.”

The officials in the prefecture capital looked troubled. This required a huge amount of financial support. Shen Ping asked them to look for Princess Jinzhen. All these years, Princess Jinzhen had been managing the finances.
