Chapter 144: The Destined One
The three materials have been refined and have all flowed into his body, with most of them already integrated.
But just as it was halfway integrated, a woman's soul suddenly emerged from the liquid formed by the material and was controlled by the panel, merging into his body and condensing into a bewitching pattern in his lower abdomen, below his navel.
Through the patterns, Zhang Ping could vaguely sense that there was a space hidden within, a space that was ten meters long and ten meters wide, with a beautiful view like a spring garden.
Amidst the flowers and plants stands a thatched hut, complete with a stone table and benches at the entrance. A woman, with a sleepy expression, lies on the stone table.
Everything is too outrageous!
If we disregard the woman, Zhang Ping could still attribute the space to the beast patterns, but the most outrageous thing is that this woman is actually Miao Caixin!
Zhang Ping stared in shock, his mouth agape: "What on earth is going on? The Yin-Yang Divine Union and Heavenly Fate Crossing never mentioned anything like this!"
At this moment, the beast pattern has not been fully imprinted, and he cannot see the complete description of the beast pattern's abilities.
He remembered clearly that the cultivation method was supposed to improve a woman's physique and enhance her martial arts talent through the union of yin and yang, and had never mentioned that there would be such an anomaly when branding with beast patterns.
Thinking back to the unusual activity of the essence materials, Zhang Ping vaguely felt that the problem might lie here.
"Never mind, luckily the panel recognizes the spirit Gu, so the beast patterns can continue to be branded." Zhang Ping couldn't figure out the reason at the moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it and focused on continuing to brand the beast patterns.
With his own powerful blood and energy, plus the power provided by the materials during the branding process, Zhang Ping would not starve to death even if he stayed in the secret room for several months.
Just as Zhang Ping was focusing all his energy on the beast-patterned branding, the Great Wei Warriors Alliance was complaining bitterly!
The demons' attacks grew increasingly fierce. What was even more alarming was that, as time went on, the demons' strength increased at an extremely rapid pace, already exceeding the speed at which martial artists could cultivate using secret medicines!
The first martial artist to discover this situation spread the news, and after the Demon Extermination Bureau investigated and confirmed it, no one could remain calm.
A large number of powerful martial artists were sent to the front lines, and the battle lines were rapidly extended.
With the support of numerous martial artists, they managed to barely halt the demons' advance. However, if this continued, the outcome of the battle would gradually tilt in favor of the demons as time went on.
West Poison Forest,
Since the female demons became the ruling race of the Western Poison Forest, they have gradually begun to make contact with the human race of the Great Wei through Zhang Ping's connections. The two sides have even opened up a trade route north of Lanjiang Prefecture and within the territory of Tongtian Prefecture, and started doing business with the human race.
If this had happened in the past, it would have been a sensational news story that shook the entire Great Wei! But now, with demons invading, few people are paying attention.
Only the families within Tongtianfu made huge profits from trade with Xidulin, and their relationship with the strange beasts gradually eased.
News of the Great Wei being fiercely attacked by demons quickly reached the Western Poison Forest.
On Mount Long, Mu Lingyu, clad in close-fitting armor, said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, should we go and assist the Great Wei in fighting against the demons?"
As soon as she finished speaking, many of the female demons standing around turned their heads to look. These female demons were all high-ranking members of the female demon clan, and also among the most powerful in the clan.
The demonesses glanced at Mu Lingyu first, then turned their gaze to Mu Ya.
Muya was also filled with distress.
They were originally exotic beasts, and the overlords of the Western Poison Forest. Let alone assisting humans in fighting demons, even their mere trade had already drawn criticism from many of the exotic beast races within the Western Poison Forest.
Humans and beastmen are different races. There is an old saying that "those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts." Although the beastmen do not have such a saying, they understand the general meaning of it.
The key point is that the demon chaos is not a crisis for a single race, but a catastrophe for the entire former territory of Wei and Zhao. Although the demons have not attacked Xidu Forest since Zhang Ping defeated them in Tiger Demon City, once the Great Wei is destroyed by the demons, Xidu Forest will surely be next.
Muya understood this very clearly.
The wise high-ranking members of the Beastmen race understood this, but their racial prejudices were like a mountain, preventing them from making the right judgment.
After hesitating for a long time, Mu Ya asked, "Mu Qing went to the Southern Prince's Mansion, how long will it take for him to return?"
A white-haired female demon replied, "The Southern King's Mansion is located in the heart of the Great Wei. Mu Qing should have just arrived there. If he wants to return, it will take at least two months."
Upon hearing this, Muya made up her mind: "Then let's wait and let Zhang Ping make the decision."
The other sirens had no objection to this.
Although the Great Wei is currently under invasion by demons, it is not the Southern Frontier. Even if the demons' strength has greatly increased, it is still uncertain whether they can ultimately succeed in destroying the Great Wei.
Perhaps in the end, the warriors of Great Wei will be able to defeat the demons? So, in the eyes of the female demons, waiting for these two months is insignificant.
......
At this time, thousands of miles away in the territory of the War Bear clan.
In the dense mountain forest, groups of bears, both large and small, frolic and play. Halfway up the mountain lies a huge cave, its entrance letting in a sliver of light.
Inside the cave is a huge cylindrical rock, tens of meters high, which is used as a table, and there are also slender cylindrical rocks on all four sides that serve as stools.
Li Zhan looked at the message from the banshee clan, raised his hand and scratched his thick, furry head, his bear face full of confusion.
"Why are humans still getting beaten up? Didn't I already follow my master's prophecy and pass on the legacy to the destined one?"
"Could it be Zhang Ping? But among the humans of the Great Wei, Zhang Ping is already the strongest and most monstrous being, and he has always fought on the front line against demons. By all accounts, he seems to be the destined one?"
Li Zhan was a little confused, and the words his master had said to him when he left began to surface in his mind.
...stirring the liquid inside the bear's head, it was a spring full of reproductive vitality.
Bamboo grove, thatched hut, a towering structure less than 100 meters high, and an ordinary old man.
The old man was Li Zhan's master. Li Zhan didn't know where his master came from, only that his master was extremely mysterious and powerful, so powerful that every time he taught him to cultivate, he would be bound by a golden chain that appeared inexplicably.
The master revealed the truth about the old battlefields of Wei and Zhao, and also mentioned the demonic chaos that would break out ten years later.
Li Zhan was greatly shocked and quickly asked, "Master, is there a way to subdue the demons?"
The master shook his head without answering, handed it a piece of white jade, and said to it, "This white jade contains a legacy, which only the destined person can unlock, and perhaps it can bring you a glimmer of hope."
Li Zhan then asked, "Master, what kind of person can become the destined one?"
The master looked at it and said, "With a heart full of justice, a determination to govern the world, the courage to be a pioneer, and selflessness for the people, you are a hero in dire straits!"
Li Zhan seemed to understand but not quite, and carefully hid the white jade in the crevice of his buttocks.
When Li Zhan first met Zhang Ping, Zhang Ping had just defeated the Poison Dragon and taken control of the Western Poison Forest, and did not regard him as the destined one.
What truly convinced Li Zhan that Zhang Ping was the chosen one was in the Southern Border Royal City. At that time, Zhang Ping risked his own safety to protect millions of people, fighting alone against powerful demons in a desperate situation, and ultimately saving the lives of millions of people in the royal city!
This is truly a hero in dire straits!
But why has the white jade inheritance that Master spoke of not yet manifested?
Li Zhan kept scratching his head with his bear paw: "This shouldn't be! He traveled thousands of miles across the Hengduan Mountains to save countless people in the southern borderlands. Isn't that heroic? Isn't that selfless dedication to the people? Besides, he's such a prodigy, he perfectly matches Master's description!"
"How could something have gone wrong...?"
