Chapter 1190: Hermit
Translator: 549690339
To Xia Pingan, ever since he became a Summoner, he had not enjoyed a peaceful life for a very long time. To him, such a life was just an extravagant hope.
The life that he had never dared to imagine had unexpectedly become a reality in a place like Sin Demon City, which was the center of attention.
Ever since he came to Sin Demonic City, Xia Ping ‘an’s days in Sin Demonic City had become especially leisurely. He was simply like a hermit living in Sin Demonic City.
In the entire Evil Demonic City, everyone wore a mask in public. Everyone followed the unspoken rules here. They did not ask about other people’s identities, nor did they expose their own identities. Such a place made Xia Ping ‘an feel at ease here.
In the Evil Demonic City, Zhang Tie’s life was very relaxed. He would go to those trading venues with Mi Luo and buy one or two god’s secret items; he would enter secluded cultivation in that small floating island or study various secret methods in order to constantly improve his battle strength.
It was in this state that Xia Ping ‘an upgraded his little one and his Immortal Army.
Previously, Xia Ping ‘an had obtained a large number of precious materials that could be used to refine Life Source Divine Artifacts, especially the Primordial Mountain Copper he had obtained in the Flood Dragon God Cave and the Ruins of End Divine Metal he had obtained from Du Yunji’s Life Source Divine Artifact. After some research and verification, Xia Ping’ an had used the Primordial Mountain Copper and Ruins of End Divine Metal, combined with the other two special materials he had obtained, and fused them into a new material with super strong characteristics that could be used to refine Life Source Divine Artifacts. Xia Ping ‘an did not give this new material any domineering or special name. He only gave this new material the name ” No. 2 material” to distinguish it from the materials used to refine the little one.
Xia Ping ‘an had used ” Material No. 2 ” to upgrade Xiao Budian and the Immortal Army. The upgraded version 2.0 Xiao Budian had shrunk in size by half, but its performance had been greatly improved. It had some characteristics of a natal divine weapon and became more intelligent. In addition to its previous abilities, Xia Ping’ an had also given Xiao Budian the ability to transform into various array disks. With this, Xiao Budian had completely become a versatile person by Xia Ping ‘an’s side and had the ability to deal with high-level Godly Venerable Rank experts.
Even though Xia Ping ‘an had yet to send the Immortal Army to a battlefield, with the Immortal Army in charge, Xia Ping’ an’s divine kingdom was as stable as Mount Tai. It was as if he had taken a pill of reassurance. Therefore, Xia Ping ‘an had also allowed the Immortal Army to fuse with a portion of the ” second material”, allowing the Immortal Army’s undying characteristics and combat strength to undergo a huge upgrade.
After Xia Ping ‘an refined the ” No. 2 material” and used it to upgrade Xiao Budian and the Immortal Army, his alchemy ability, the ability to refine formation disks and mechanical puppets, and the ability to use divine runes also received a huge improvement. Because of this, Xia Ping’ an ignited another wisp of divine flame, and the number of divine flames he ignited reached 27, satisfying the requirements to condense the divine spark of a Grand Emperor.
Of course, Mi Luo had also successfully ignited nine wisps of divine flames and stepped into the threshold of becoming a god. Her strength had also increased greatly. Because of Mi Luo’s company, the two of them could verify and discuss. Mi Luo would always give some useful opinions and suggestions, which made Xia Pingan’s originally boring cultivation and research become warm and interesting.
Occasionally, Xia Ping ‘an would go to a few auction houses in Sin Magic City to buy one or two Realm Beads that he had yet to fuse with, and continuously consolidate his strength.
In the auction house of Evil Demonic City, various items were being auctioned. However, the items that were opened from God’s secret treasures were the most popular ones. The items that were opened from God’s secret treasures might not be what the one who opened them needed. Therefore, the auction house became the place where these items circulated. Although there were very few rare Realm Beads being auctioned in these auction houses, there were still some. A small number of Realm Beads in the auction houses were secret Realm Beads, while most of them were sold by people who came here to raise divine crystals. Therefore, Xia Ping ‘an could occasionally find one or two Realm Beads that he had not fused with before. Even if it was an ordinary Divine Power Realm Bead, Xia Ping’ an wouldn’t refuse.
Four months after he came to the Evil Demon City, Xia Ping ‘an found the Absolute Beginning Vital Qi in a God’s secret treasure.
On the ninth month since he came to Evil Demonic City, Xia Ping ‘an discovered Divine Essence in a God’s Secret Treasure.
In the first year and five months after he arrived in Evil Demonic City, Xia Ping ‘an found the Ancient God Fetus in a God’s Secret Treasure.
In the first year and seven months since he came to Evil Demonic City, Xia Ping ‘an found the Absolute Beginning Yuan Qi in a God’s Secret Treasure.
If his discoveries were to be exposed in the Evil Demonic City, it would definitely bring a great shock to Xia Pingan and make him stand on the cusp of the storm again. However, the fact was that Xia Pingan would take these God’s Secret Treasures back to his cultivation tower before opening them. Except for Mi Luo, almost no one knew how many earth-shaking items he had opened from these God’s Realm Beads. Therefore, after he got these items, he remained calm. This was the so-called silent fortune.
Besides the Absolute Beginning pneuma and the divine essence, Xia Pingan had discovered many other amazing treasures from those God’s secret treasures.
Just like that, Xia Ping ‘an was like a hermit that no one knew about. Unknowingly, he had stayed in Sin Demon City for four years, collecting countless treasures.
On a certain day four years later, in the Secret Cultivation Tower…
As the light cocoon on his body shattered, Xia Pingan, who was sitting cross-legged, finally opened his eyes again. He let out a long breath,” I’ve finally finished fusing Heavenly Craftsmanship Creation…”
Xia Ping ‘an calmly stood up and gently shook his robe before walking out of the secret room. Just as he arrived outside the secret room, the big multicolored cat that was guarding outside the secret room twisted its cat-like steps and came up to him. It rubbed against Xia Ping’ an’s feet before following Xia Ping ‘an out of the Secret Cultivation Tower.
In the past few years, other than Mi Luo, only this big tabby cat, who had always been guarding outside the secret room, felt the changes that had happened to Xia Pingan the most. Unknowingly, this originally wild and unruly tabby cat slowly became more and more like a cat in front of Xia Pingan. It became more and more obedient. Without Xia Pingan’s permission, this tabby cat didn’t dare to speak or pass on his message.
Xia Pingan didn’t even need to do anything. The big tabby cat was one step ahead of him. It stood up like a human, raised its two chubby little paws, and pushed open the door of the Secret Cultivation Tower.
The moment the gate of the Secret Cultivation Tower was opened, a cold wind had blown in from the outside. The entire air-floating island had been covered with a layer of white snow. The green bamboos on the mountain were still standing upright in the snow. However, many bamboo leaves were covered with layers of snowflakes, which looked bluish and verdant. By contrast, the artificial lake on the air-floating island had long been frozen. Snowflakes were falling down from the sky. Being covered with a layer of white snow, the entire air-floating island was not polluted at all. It was exceptionally quiet.
“It’s snowing…” Xia Ping ‘an looked up at the sky, and an inexplicable joy welled up in his heart. It had been a long time since he had seen snowflakes. The last time he had seen snowflakes was in the Hidden Dragon Territory. That was when he was still a Demigod expert, and it had been many years. The weather in the Divine Demon Region was constantly changing, and the four seasons did not change clearly. In the past few years, he had not seen snow here.
In this dustless and quiet world, the faint sound of zither music came from the bamboo pavilion by the lake. The zither music was ethereal and accompanied by the dancing snowflakes. It contained the mysteries of the world, causing people to unknowingly be immersed in it.
Xia Pingan smiled and walked towards the bamboo pavilion by the lake. Wherever he went, he left a clear trail of footprints on the ground.
When he arrived outside the pavilion, he saw a beautiful figure sitting in the pavilion, facing the frozen lake and playing the zither.
Xia Pingan did not enter the pavilion rashly. Instead, he stood outside and listened attentively. It was only after half an hour had passed that the music stopped. Xia Pingan then walked into the pavilion. With a flick of his hand, a snow-white coat appeared and gently draped over the beautiful figure.
Mi Luo turned her head and looked at Xia Ping ‘an. With a smile, this dustless and empty world became colorful..
