System's Super Sect Chapter 969 912: Entering the Undead Hell Again
Previously on System's Super Sect...
The refinement of the Earthly Cyan Lotus Body made progress, though not with the same striking alacrity as before.
The potent effects of the advanced Mirror-Breaking Pill were now more focused on fortifying the Meridian Gate, completely filling it within fifteen minutes, which then led to the explosive rupture of the Frenzy Shock Meridian Gate.
Bang!
Upon breaching the Fourth Meridian Gate, Wen Ping experienced a profound and extraordinary shift within himself.
Firstly, his inherent connection to the Vein Qi of the heavens and earth saw a marked improvement.
During maneuvers like Sword Flight, a certain degree of resistance was typically present, though usually insignificant due to the sheer fortitude of his physical frame.
Now, that resistance had completely vanished.
Secondly, his spiritual power experienced a substantial surge, escalating considerably.
This newfound power allowed Wen Ping to unleash several Tier Four spells concurrently, liberating him from the prior reliance on the Book of Wisdom's amplification for such feats.
Wen Ping found this development quite remarkable.
Consequently, in tandem with the spiritual power augmentation, the reach of his spiritual perception expanded dramatically, stretching from its previous thirty to forty-mile radius to an astonishing seventy miles.
This expanded awareness was more than sufficient to survey an entire metropolis, teeming with millions, and guaranteed that no adversary could conceal themselves from his notice.
"This sensation is truly magnificent," Wen Ping declared, his eyes snapping open. The unusual celestial phenomena began to recede, and his surging aura was instantly concealed by the Changmo Technique the moment it started to emanate.
After internalizing the changes wrought by his realm advancement, Wen Ping then turned his attention to the enhancements gained after the Changmo Technique achieved Celestial Level.
His capacity to absorb Wood Qi had accelerated a hundredfold, and the effective range of this absorption now extended to seven to eight hundred miles.
This level of enhancement was genuinely terrifying.
Wen Ping boldly asserted that if a continuous supply of Wood Qi were available, he could attain the Celestial Unrestricted power level within a single year.
Of course, such a scenario was highly improbable.
Wood Qi could not regenerate indefinitely.
This was precisely why he was perpetually engaged in cultivating Jianmu and Immortal Trees.
He mused that if the entirety of the Immortal Sect were populated with Jianmu and Immortal Trees, then perhaps an endless reservoir of Wood Qi could be established.
Meanwhile, a considerable number of Sect members had already convened beneath Tingyu Pavilion.
Both disciples and elders were in attendance.
Upon Wen Ping's arrival, all present promptly bowed in respectful greeting.
"Congratulations to the Sect Leader on this further advancement in your power!"
"Our felicitations, Sect Leader!"
Wen Ping subtly waved his hand, signaling, "Return to your duties and cultivation."
With that, Wen Ping made his way back into Tingyu Pavilion.
The assembled group dispersed, their voices filled with hushed discussion.
"I wonder what realm the Sect Leader has reached now?"
"Recall that when the Sect Leader effortlessly vanquished an Earth Unrestricted Expert. Now that he has advanced once more, he must be nearing the Celestial Unrestricted realm, surely."
"Elder Sword Demon, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
All eyes turned expectantly towards Sword Demon, their gazes instantly converging on him.
Given that Sword Demon was recognized as the most formidable among them, their attention was naturally drawn to his assessment.
Sword Demon offered a slightly awkward chuckle before responding, "I find myself unable to ascertain the Sect Leader's true power, much like the first time I encountered him. As for his ultimate strength, I shall refrain from speculation. We can only observe when the Sect Leader next chooses to act."
"Elder Sword Demon, but that implies we face a considerable wait. The Sect Leader seldom engages in direct action," Huai Ye lamented, a clear expression of regret etched on his face.
The others mirrored Huai Ye's sentiment.
An exception to this collective feeling were Long Ke and Long Yue.
Their internal reactions were the most complex.
This complexity stemmed from their shared knowledge of Wen Ping's remarkably young age.
"When the Sect Leader eventually stands before the Long Family, I am certain he will astonish my sister and the entirety of our family," Long Ke thought to himself.
...
Meanwhile, upon his return to Tingyu Pavilion, Wen Ping immediately commenced preparations for his next strategic undertaking.
His destination: the Undead Hell!
Confronted by looming threats, Wen Ping felt an urgent need for power that surpassed the Earth Unrestricted to ensure his own preservation.
As his spiritual power manifested once more within the Undead Hell, a multitude of lesser undead beings instinctively looked skyward and bowed in deep reverence, as though a revered sovereign had returned.
"Is this a consequence of the Earthly Cyan Lotus Body?" Wen Ping inquired silently of the system.
The system's reply was swift: "The Earthly Cyan Lotus Body constitutes the most potent constitution within the Undead Hell, symbolizing a supreme ancestral lineage."
Wen Ping seized the opportunity, eagerly questioning, "Can my Earthly Cyan Lotus Body aid in subjugating Celestial Unrestricted undead creatures?"
"It would be ineffective. Celestial Unrestricted undead creatures are akin to deities within the Undead Hell and would not be intimidated by a mere Earthly Cyan Lotus Body, unless the host cultivates it to its absolute Perfection and confronts them directly."
"I understand." Wen Ping acknowledged the system's response with a casual tone and proceeded to actively search for undead entities possessing Celestial Unrestricted power within the desolate expanse of the Undead Hell.
Though he had braced himself mentally for what lay ahead.
Locating an undead creature with power comparable to Lucifer's, from the Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm, was already a difficult feat the last time around.
To Wen Ping's surprise, he couldn't even pinpoint a single undead being at the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted level.
Several hours of rigorous searching through the Undead Hell yielded no sign of Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted undead creatures, nor any beings of higher caliber.
"System, tell me honestly, are there even any Celestial Unrestricted undead creatures within the Undead Hell?" Wen Ping couldn't help but inquire after his fruitless efforts.
The system's response came: "Indeed, there are. However, undead creatures that surpass the Celestial Unrestricted realm in the Undead Hell are akin to divine beings, making them exceedingly rare. I advise you to maintain patience, as these gods of the dead are not commonly encountered."
"Do you possess a map?"
"Negative."
"Perhaps coordinates for a god of the dead?"
"Also negative."
"Then, what precisely do you have to offer?"
"I have the steadfast patience to accompany you on this unhurried quest."
"System, do you fancy yourself humorous?"
With that, Wen Ping concluded his interaction with the system and continued his patient search for any trace of a god of the dead within the Undead Hell.
Thus, another few hours slipped by unnoticed.
The elusive god of the dead remained hidden, yet Wen Ping did manage to come across several undead entities wielding power from the Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm, creatures on par with Lucifer himself.
Naturally, Wen Ping did not allow such potent beings to escape, capturing them one by one.
The first was the Demon Clown.
An existence steeped in malevolence and peculiarity.
Its ability to employ clones to evade Wen Ping's spiritual grasp was a feat even Lucifer had been incapable of.
The second captured entity was the Vengeful Flame Soul.
This formidable being manifested as an enraged pyro-humanoid.
Inhabiting a volcano deep within the Undead Hell, it was birthed from magma and could conjure Hellfire with but a mere flick of its wrist.
Unlike the common Hellfire found in the Thousand Layers, the Vengeful Flame Soul's Hellfire was of a far more terrifying degree, even surpassing Wen Ping's own Punishment Fire.
According to the system's assessment, ordinary Spirit Bodies were incapable of withstanding its inferno.
By 'ordinary Spirit Bodies,' the system referred to those ranked below the 1500th position on the Spirit Body Ranking.
Even the esteemed Fire Spirit Body belonging to the Immortal Sect would be unable to endure its searing flames.
Upon securing these captures, Wen Ping couldn't help but lament, "It appears I will be unable to acquire any undead creatures boasting power from the Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm today."
Wen Ping made a swift decision to depart from the Undead Hell, unwilling to squander any more of his valuable time.
Furthermore, he felt the pressing need to check on Weisheng Xingyu, seeking to fully comprehend the circumstances surrounding Weisheng Xingyu and the Zhetian Tower.
He also intended to make an excursion to the Heaven and Earth Lake. This was to personally investigate the caliber of experts the Zhetian Tower had dispatched, a detail that eluded even Chen Xie's informants, necessitating his own direct inquiry.
However, just as he was poised to depart, a fleeting shadow materialized in the sky, gliding through the Undead Hell like an ethereal wisp of smoke.
Its velocity was astonishingly swift!
The aura it radiated was unequivocally that of a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse!
