laugh...
As a spatial rift appeared, a figure emerged from it.
"The atmosphere outside is really hard to get used to; it's far inferior to the Imperial City."
The seventh elder of the royal family frowned deeply. Compared to the Imperial City, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside was still far too thin.
"I hope those so-called celestial beings can bring me some surprises."
"Resurrection? Interesting. If I could master such a method, perhaps I could live a second life."
The Seventh Elder's eyes lit up at the thought of the players' resurrection ability.
Although he is King Realm expert, he is actually over four hundred years old.
However, the lifespan of the King Realm is at most five hundred years.
That's right, five hundred years old!
During chaotic times, the lifespan of powerful beings at the King Realm was extremely long. While it might be an exaggeration to say they controlled the rules of heaven and earth and lived as long as the heavens themselves, living for tens of thousands of years was still quite easy.
However, since the end of the chaotic era and the beginning of the era of Sin Abyss, even King Realm experts can only live to be five hundred years old.
The royal family speculated that the final battle during the chaotic era might have broken some rule of heaven and earth, thus limiting the lifespan of the strong.
Over the years, even powerful experts at the King Realm have considered extending their lives when their time was running out.
Even the most potent life-extending pills, especially those of the King Rank, had no effect whatsoever.
It's as if the heavens and earth ordained that King Realm's lifespan was five hundred years, and it was impossible for him to exceed half of that.
It is possible to break the lifespan limit only by reaching the Sovereign Realm, which is above the King Realm.
But over the years, apart from the founding emperors of the three great empires, no one else has reached such a level; the strongest among them is only the King Realm Ninth Grade.
But now these suddenly arriving celestial beings have the ability to resurrect, which the royal family cannot afford to ignore.
If one could master this resurrection ability, and live a second, third, or even countless lifetimes, one could outlast any Heavenly Vault King or Earthly Vault King.
Let me see what towns are around here.
Thinking this, the Seventh Clan leader waved his hand, and a map appeared before him.
The map was densely covered with the names of numerous cities.
Immediately afterward, the Seventh Elder casually tapped his fingertip, and a long, blood-red line appeared on the map.
This long, blood-red line connects to hundreds of lower cities, including Shenglin City.
"That's enough. If we eliminate too many, it might attract the attention of the Heavenly Vault King."
The seventh clan elder casually remarked that destroying over a hundred lower cities was nothing to him.
Back then, he even tried to refine all the living beings within the entire Upper City area into elixirs.
Within the boundaries of an Upper City, there are at least four or five hundred lower cities, and sometimes as many as a thousand, with a population of over a hundred million, yet he still uses them for alchemy.
"It's a pity that these worthless things wasted so much of my time, and the pills I refined didn't even have the slightest effect of increasing lifespan."
The seventh elder shook his head, then tore through space and disappeared, beginning his actions.
Guangwu City, Zhou Clan.
In a quiet room.
boom...
As a powerful aura erupted, Zhou Ping opened his eyes.
"The injury to my dantian has completely healed. Not only that, it's even more resilient than before, and the spiritual energy it can hold has increased fivefold."
"Furthermore, I have successfully broken through to the Platinum Sixth Grade, but my combat strength is at least comparable to an Platinum Eighth Grade expert."
Zhou Ping's face was filled with surprise; this time, he could be said to have turned misfortune into blessing.
He used to think that his limit was the Diamond Realm, with a slight chance of reaching the Epic Realm.
But things are different now. The chances of reaching the Epic Realm have increased by at least 70%, and even the Legendary Realm is not impossible.
As for the Mythic Realm, Zhou Ping was self-aware enough that without sufficient opportunities, he would find it difficult to even reach the Mythic Realm, let alone the Legendary Realm.
"I really have to thank Brother Lin for this, otherwise I would be completely ruined."
Zhou Ping felt a surge of gratitude when he thought of Lin An.
Although the two had crossed paths before, their relationship was not close, yet the other party was willing to give him a Legendary Rank pill to help him restore his foundation.
Zhou Ping was not an ungrateful person; he naturally wanted to repay Lin An An's kindness.
"However, given the circumstances of my Zhou Clan, I'm afraid we can't offer anything that Brother Lin would find acceptable."
After all, a single Legendary Rank pill could cost the Zhou Clan most of their fortune.
Although he is the head of the younger generation of the Zhou Clan, he does not have the final say in the Zhou Clan, nor does he have the right to give the Zhou Clan's assets to Lin An.
"I can only try to repay Brother Lin later."
"Let's first tell my father and the others about my recovery."
Thinking it over, Zhou Ping left the quiet room and headed towards the Zhou Clan's council hall.
Upon entering the council hall, he discovered that in addition to his father, the head of the Zhou Clan, there were also many clan elders present.
"Ping'er is here."
The Zhou Clan head suddenly paused as he spoke. As a Diamond Realm expert, he quickly noticed that Zhou Ping's aura was off.
"Ping'er, your injury..."
The Zhou Clan head stood up and looked at Zhou Ping with curiosity. The other elders also looked surprised, as they had also noticed Zhou Ping's difference.
"Father, elders, my injuries have healed. Not only that, my foundation is more solid than before, my dantian has expanded, and my cultivation level has broken through to the Platinum Sixth Grade," Zhou Ping said with a smile.
Upon hearing Zhou Ping's words, the Zhou Clan head immediately checked Zhou Ping's physical condition and found that it was indeed as the other party had said.
"Haha, good, good! My son's potential is even greater than before."
The Zhou Clan head immediately burst into laughter. He clearly sensed that Zhou Ping's potential had increased dramatically, and he might even have a chance to break through to the Epic Realm in the future.
The strongest member of the entire Zhou Clan is the patriarch, who has been in seclusion and no longer cares about the Zhou Clan affairs. He is Diamond Realm Ninth Grade cultivator, but barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will never reach the Epic Realm in this lifetime.
Therefore, the Zhou Clan, and even the other nine major families in Guangwu City, have a deep obsession with breaking through to the Epic Realm.
The Zhou Clan head felt his chances were slim, but now he saw an opportunity in his son.
"Ping'er, what extraordinary opportunity have you encountered?" Zhou Clan asked curiously.
"Does Father still remember Lin An?"
" Lin An? That Lin An from Shenglin City?"
"That's right. I happened to run into him when I went out a couple of days ago. He learned about my situation and gave me a Purple Origin Creation Pill. It was thanks to this pill that I not only recovered from my injuries but also broke through in my cultivation level."
Zhou Ping did not hide anything. Although he returned to his family injured, he did not encounter any unfair treatment or be ostracized by his family members.
The Zhou Clan is very united; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to stand strong in Guangwu City for so many years.
" Purple Origin Creation Pill? This seems to be Legendary Rank pill, and he just gave it to you like that?" The Zhou Clan family members were incredulous.
That's Legendary Rank pill; just one could take the Zhou Clan's lives.
"I refused, but he forced it on me before I even realized what was happening," Zhou Ping said helplessly.
"This favor must naturally be repaid, but given the circumstances of my Zhou Clan, it may be a bit too much for us to do," the Zhou Clan head said helplessly.
A Legendary Rank elixir cannot be repaid with one's entire fortune.
"Patriarch, perhaps we have something to repay this debt," said the Zhou Clan's eldest elder.
The Zhou Clan head paused, then seemed to realize something.
"If it's that item, then yes, it's possible," said the Zhou Clan head.
