Chapter 621: It’s Hard to Tell If It’s True or Fake (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations I Editor: Henyee Translations
There were no golden-purple insects in this house. Instead, there was a purple door After stepping through the door, he appeared in a city made of rocks. There were actually many living beings in this city. They were either humans, the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, and so on, but without exception, there was no fluctuation of magic power or aura.
As the Pupil of Sea Beast opened, he realized that these were actually real living beings. However, among all the living beings in this stone city, there was a golden-purple insect disguised as a living being.
Shen Ping seemed to have understood something. This stone city was very likely to test the distinguishing ability of Beast Spirit geniuses. However, it was still relatively difficult to find the golden-purple worm among so many living beings. After all, other Beast Spirit geniuses did not have a strange beast talent like him.
After entering the city, he walked straight towards the golden-purple insect. The golden-purple insect was disguised as a human old woman. She was squatting on the side of the street with a walking stick and fruits in front of her.
It was very simple to get rid of this old woman. He only needed to use the Primordial Chaos Spear to attack. However, Shen Ping did not act rashly. He felt that this stone city was not so easy. That artifact spirit senior would not be so bored as to set up a large number of living beings just to distinguish the golden-purple insects.
“Granny, how much is this fruit?”
The old woman in disguise quickly replied, “It’s about five copper coins each.”
“I don’t have any money with me. My house is nearby. Can you come with me to get it? I can buy your basket of fruits.” Shen Ping said.
The old woman nodded in agreement. When the two of them arrived at an alley, Shen Ping took advantage of the fact that no living beings were paying attention and directly killed the golden-purple worm with a shot.
After the insect died, it split into three balls of light. Inside the balls of light were the beast blood’s essence and the road map. He put away the beast blood’s essence and paid attention to the living beings outside the alley. Seeing that they did not have any reaction, he immediately left the stone city and headed to the next city.
The second, the third… It was the same as the dilapidated wooden house, until
a purple door appeared in the eighth city.
He stood in front of the door. Shen Ping looked at the beast blood’s essence he had obtained and narrowed his eyes. Be it the dilapidated wooden house or the stone city, everything went very smoothly. There was no difficulty during this period. Although he had used the Pupil of Sea Beast, even without this strange beast talent, it was at most a little difficult. “Could it be that the difficulty of the test for the top geniuses is different?” With this guess in mind, he stepped into the purple door.
Shen Ping was right. The appearance of the palace this time was a multi-layered world. The difficulty of the first two levels was different. The top 100 Beast Spirit geniuses’ progress was basically very smooth. Even in Stone City, they only spent a little more time. The Beast Spirit geniuses ranked in the top 10,000 did not recover much magic powers after killing the golden-purple bugs. They could recover to the Golden Core realm on the first level and only recovered to the Nascent Soul realm after passing the two levels.
If they chose to kill the old woman in the stone city, it would turn the other living beings into golden-purple insects. They had to kill them all to obtain the map of the next stone city.
The Beast Spirit geniuses ranked after 10,000 had a much more difficult process. Other than recovering their magic power slowly, they would also encounter all kinds of problems in the snowy environment of the first level. If they were lucky enough to reach Stone City, they would not be able to obtain the Beast Blood’s Essence and the map even if they killed the old woman. They had to pay money to buy fruits.
Under the dark green ancient tree, the Spirit Race’s Venerable Sovereign frowned. “What’s going on? Why were so many Beast Spirit geniuses of our Spirit Race eliminated?!”
The immortal Venerables smiled bitterly and said, “Venerable Sovereign, most of these Beast Spirit geniuses are ranked after 10,000. According to their report, they encountered a golden-purple worm that can disguise itself as our Spirit Race. It’s very difficult to tell if it’s real or fake. As long as they’re not careful and come into contact with its skin, they will be directly corroded and eliminated.
“There are also those who were surrounded and eliminated by a large number of golden-purple insects in a city. However, at the moment, very few of the top 10,000 are eliminated. In addition, not many Beast Spirit geniuses above the Golden Immortal Realm are eliminated.”
The Venerable Sovereign of the Spirit Race felt a little relieved. “There’s actually such a strange insect. There are also races that are good at disguise among the myriad races. There are one or two special races. It’s said that they can even disguise the aura of living beings, but no matter how they disguise themselves, there will be flaws. These Beast Spirit geniuses are really too careless!
“Our Spirit Race’s greatest advantage is numbers. If they are eliminated, this advantage will decrease. Looks like the rules for the appearance of the palace this time are indeed very strange.”
just like the spirit Race, after the Devil Clan, the Flame Race, and the others discovered that many Beast Spirit geniuses in their clan had been eliminated, they felt a headache. Originally, they had instructed the prodigies to use their numerical advantage to restrict the human race, but in the end, this was the situation.
The only thing that made them gratified was that almost none of the Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables were eliminated.
He stepped through the door. Shen Ping appeared on a huge stone plate floating in the dark space. There were praying mats on the stone plate. The praying mats were enveloped by multicolored light. He looked at the number of people. It happened to be the number of Beast Spirit geniuses who had entered the palace this time.
Apart from the futon, there was nothing else on the stone plate. He checked around again and confirmed that there was nothing special, so he casually found a place to sit quietly and wait for changes.
Time passed slowly.
Ten days later, a figure appeared on the stone plate.
“Senior Qi!”
“Shen Ping!
The two of them were delighted at first, but then they looked at each other warily. Shen Ping secretly checked with his Pupil of Sea Beast and confirmed that this Senior Qi’s energy aura was different from the golden-purple worm, but he still did not approach it.
Immortal Venerable Qi was the same. “Shen Ping, have you encountered the golden-purple worm that can disguise itself?
“I did.”
Immortal Venerable Qi nodded, “If I’m not wrong, distinguishing the golden-purple worm should be the key to the rules. You and I will maintain a certain distance.”
“Yes, Senior.”
Next was Immortal Venerable Yu, Immortal Venerable Nanji, Lin Yu, Immortal Venerable Yao, Immortal Venerable Bing, and so on. Everyone knew the disguise ability of the golden-purple worm, so they tacitly maintained a distance.
However, Shen Ping knew that half of them were golden-purple insects in disguise.
“Master!” As Lian Xuejin appeared, he heaved a sigh of relief, especially when he saw that she was not an insect in disguise. A look of joy appeared in the corners of his eyes as he secretly sent a voice transmission, “Master, that immortal Venerable Yao, Immortal Venerable Bing, and the others are all golden-purple worms in disguise. You have to be careful.
Lian Xuejin was shocked, but she did not show it on her face. To everyone’s surprise, another Shen Ping appeared on the stone plate. Whether it was his expression or appearance, he was exactly the same as Shen Ping.
Immortal Venerable Qi narrowed his eyes and said, “If I’m not wrong, the test of this stone plate should be able to distinguish between real and fake. Perhaps there will be people like everyone in the future.” immortal Venerable Nanji nodded, “I’ve traveled the myriad races before, but I’ve never seen such a strange insect. The living being it is disguised as is almost the same as a real person. In the dilapidated stone house and stone city, I would instinctively feel disgust when it approached, but I did not have any reaction on this stone plate. It must be because the stone plate is special that it suppresses this disgust.”
The others nodded thoughtfully. What Immortal Venerable Nanji said made sense. Just as Immortal Venerable Qi had guessed, Immortal Venerable Qi, Immortal Venerable Qi, Immortal Venerable Yao, and the others appeared again.
However, Yan Xueyi, Hui Chang, and the other Beast Spirit geniuses who had been eliminated did not appear. As the last Lian Xuejin arrived, the light from the futon disappeared.
“Everyone, don’t move. If anyone dares to move, don’t blame me for not caring about our clansmen and attacking.” Immortal Venerable Nanji said coldly. Shen Ping’s expression was calm. He had the Pupil of Sea Beast and could tell who was the golden-purple worm in disguise. However, there was someone like him now. Even if he said it, they might not believe it. Moreover, if he rashly attacked, the others would definitely attack him. At the very least, those golden-purple worms in disguise would attack.

“Seniors, how should we distinguish between real and fake?”
Lin Yu was the first to speak.
Immortal Venerable Qi pondered for a moment and said, “Our cultivation levels have only recovered to the Golden Core realm. It’s difficult to use some methods. Previously, we could still rely on disgust to judge, but it’s more troublesome now.”
The others were silent.
Shen Ping said slowly, “Seniors, why don’t you prove your authenticity first?
