Shen Ping’s expression was respectful. He had a good relationship with Yu Qingling and was very close to her. Even though they’d had some extraordinary cultivation exchanges, that was on the premise that she had a good impression of him. If it wasn’t for that, it would absolutely be impossible for him to help her like that.

Therefore, when he stood in front of Perfected Yu, he did not feel guilty at all. He was just a little nervous.

Perfected Yu glanced at Shen Ping seriously. Most genius cultivators were very proud and aloof, especially in the True Treasure Pavilion. Many core members, such as Class A and B, only maintained a superficial respect even when facing Nascent Soul cultivators. After all, with sufficient resources, they believed that they would be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm sooner or later, or even higher, Divine Transformation.

It was because of this confidence that the core geniuses of various skills would more or less have pride. This kind of arrogance was difficult to hide. However, Shen Ping did not have it. When he bowed just now, his expression revealed that he respected Nascent Soul cultivators from the bottom of his heart.

He was very satisfied with this.

“It’s really rare for Talisman Master Shen to maintain your composure even when you’re on the Glory Ranking.” Perfected Yu praised him and continued. “You and my daughter, Yu Qingling, are new members of the same batch. I presume you’ve met each other, right?”

Shen Ping hurriedly said, “Of course I have. Not long ago, 1 even exchanged cultivation insights with Fellow Daoist Yu.”

Perfected Yu nodded and continued, “Qingling is much inferior to you. She’s still young and hasn’t experienced much. Her cultivation mental state is far inferior to ordinary cultivators. 1 hope that Talisman Master Shen can help her in the future on account of being peers.”

Hearing this, Shen Ping cupped his hands again and said, “Senior Yu, don’t worry. I will definitely do my best.”

Seeing Shen Ping agree so readily, a smile appeared on Perfected Yu’s face. “In the future, if you have any doubts about the Talisman Beast Scripture, you can come to the Dan Hai Hall to look for me.”

On the coastal island of the Zhongsheng Continent.

True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters.

Dozens of throne phantoms gathered in the ethereal and magnificent palace.

As the warm white aura descended, a gentle voice sounded in the hall. “Everyone, our True Treasure Pavilion has experienced countless years. It’s rare for such a monstrous skill genius to appear. If we nurture him with all our might, he will definitely be able to advance our True Treasure Pavilion to the next level in the future. Therefore, I’m prepared to take him in as a personal disciple and pass the complete Beast Scripture to this new core.”

A throne phantom immediately said, “Head Hall Master, you must not! The Beast Scripture is everything to our True Treasure Pavilion! Its inheritance should be extremely careful!”

Instantly, the other throne phantoms echoed.

“Head Hall Master, that little fellow’s talent in the Talisman Beast Scripture is indeed extremely outstanding, but he only studied the beast form in the end. He hasn’t even touched on the beast bone. It’s still too early to confirm that he’s the successor of the Beast Scripture!”

“That’s right. We’ve cultivated for countless years and have seen countless talents in various techniques, but it’s rare for them to really grow to the end, let alone comprehend the complete Beast Scripture. His speed of comprehending the second volume of the Beast Form is indeed rare, but this doesn’t mean that he’s still the same when studying the subsequent three volumes, as well as the beast skin, beast bones, beast blood, and other scriptures.”

“Head Hall Master, you must think twice. The inheritance of the Beast Scripture is no small matter. It concerns the future of our True Treasure Pavilion and even more so the future of the five continents and four seas. It’s too rash to decide to impart it to a little fellow who’s still at the Foundation Establishment realm!”

“The Head Hall Master once said that if you want to inherit and comprehend the complete Beast Scripture, it’s difficult to just study one technique. The top ten core members of the Glory Ranking have all studied two techniques, and that little fellow currently only has talent in the Talisman Beast Scripture. Although this talent is indeed terrifying, you can’t list him as the inheritor so easily. If word gets out, the other members will inevitably feel that it’s unfair.”

For a moment, voices rose and fell in the hall. More than 80% of the 12 throne phantoms objected. The remaining two, including the Hall Master Yueling, remained silent. An outstanding skill genius like Shen Ping was very rare. There might not be one in tens of thousands of years, but the inheritance of the Beast Scripture was very important. If Shen Ping had comprehended the beast bone, or rather, the lower-level fifth scroll of the beast skin, even if these main hall-level experts objected, they would not be so strong.

But the problem was, just the second volume of the beast form was too low. It was undeniable that Shen Ping was extremely monstrous to be able to comprehend the final form of the beast form in the second volume. Even experts above the Divine Transformation Realm like them could not do it. However, the difficulty of comprehending the Beast Scripture became more and more terrifying.

They had seen many geniuses die prematurely. Before they were completely sure that Shen Ping had the ability, they would not agree.

Of course, the most important reason was that once the successor of the Beast Scripture was confirmed, it was equivalent to confirming the identity of the future successor of the True Treasure Pavilion. There were too many benefits involved, and every one of the twelve main halls had many benefits behind them. On the premise that they did not harm the overall interests of the True Treasure Pavilion, they would definitely consider themselves first.

“Everyone!” The gentle voice sounded again, instantly suppressing the noisy objections in the hall. “The calamity is approaching and there’s not much time left. The inheritance of the Beast Scripture is imperative. However, your worries are not unreasonable. How about this? If the new core disciple, Shen Ping, can rush to the third place on the Glory Ranking with two techniques before the calamity, we can confirm his identity as a personal disciple and inheritor..”
