Chen Ping's Sword

"Ji Tang, why don’t you and I each take a step back? My child also has the blood of the Ji family. If he gains Celestial Fate in the future and joins the Fubo Lineage, entering the Azure Dragon Hall, it won’t be a loss for you."

In Yujing City, atop the layered palaces, a mass of bright light glowed like the moon, surrounded by roaring silver whirlwinds, as if Fairy Gushe descended to the mortal realm.

Through that intense light, the woman’s face could be seen, graceful and exquisite, with phoenix eyes carrying a hint of ferocity, exuding a vague aura of nobility and majesty.

As this woman soared into the air, a cavalry from the western part of the Imperial Palace charged in with a roar, shouting the slogan "Clear the monarch’s side, slay the Demon Empress," bloodshed throughout their path.

The leader, clad in golden armor and red clothes, surrounded by a Blood Dragon, struck mercilessly, none other than Ji Changfeng.

Chen Ping, attached to Ji Changfeng’s body, watched this scene helplessly, feeling a bit resigned.

This situation, where he could see, feel, and even learn everything Ji Changfeng knew at that moment, but couldn’t control a single hair, wasn’t very satisfying.

If it were usual times.

He could leisurely watch this palace coup, see the banners change over the city walls, and at lively moments, he might secretly applaud in his heart.

Just missing sunflower seeds to nibble on.

But the current situation was somewhat different.

Even if he had learned the Stinging Dragon Scripture and gained the cultivation technique of the peerless skill Celestial Dragon Nine Claws, even if he stepped into the Divine Martial Realm, he wouldn’t be without progress. He still couldn’t be happy.

Being in someone’s body, inheriting their karmic ties.

In some aspects, the entanglements in front of him, and the future trajectory of fate, are already closely related to him.

He couldn’t avoid it just because he was reborn in two lives, with an outsider soul.

On this point, Chen Ping deeply understood.

The operational mechanism of the Spring and Autumn Silkworm has actually been revealed, with tribulations and fortune looming.

Once avoided, there would be no benefit.

Therefore, his spirit entered the tribulation, witnessing an event from seventeen years ago, which was his entry into the tribulation, and naturally, there was also fortune.

This is the meaning behind Trace Origin and Steal Fortune.

The acquisition of the cultivation technique is one aspect, but the main opportunity of this purple fate is not in the Stinging Dragon Scripture’s heart technique.

Instead, it points the way for Divine Martial cultivation.

Lost in thought, Chen Ping already saw the situation clearly, and he was somewhat reluctant to witness the next developments.

Because, he already guessed, the graceful woman floating high above the palace was actually his biological mother in this life.

The swaddled infant in her arms, in a certain aspect, was him.

It is said, in countless worlds like grains of sand in the Ganges, there exist innumerable selves, identical yet different.

In this life and the next, through past and future, amidst the transformation of time and space, all living beings are drunkenly disoriented, unable to extricate themselves, unable to transcend.

The self in that world reached a dead end, while the self in this world carries great fortune.

The Spring and Autumn Silkworm perhaps stands at the end of time, glimpsing a fragment of fate, capturing a slice of vitality, finding the possibility of transcendence.

The reasons behind it, Chen Ping naturally couldn’t understand or influence.

All he could do was to remember everything in front of him.

Seventeen years have passed.

Seventeen years hence are coming.

Then, an eye for an eye, blood for blood, breaking tribulation to gain fortune, pressing forward all the way.

That is all.

"Empress Xiao, you are still so unrealistic, harboring naive illusions. When have you ever seen our Ji family give up the meat we’ve already eaten?"

"Azure Dragon Hall is already in decline with no future, and even though it may disappoint your Fubo Lineage, there’s no more threat."

Ji Tang laughed heartily, his figure swaying slightly as the vitality around surged, a fierce wind rose, and boundless vitality transformed into liquid, then into rivers and lakes, condensing into a Dragon-Shaped Dharma Body around him.

This dragon coiled its body, with azure skin and blue scales, its aura deep like an abyss, and just by appearing, it suppressed the surrounding air flow, freezing the woman in mid-air.

Ji Tang’s laughter hadn’t ceased: "Why share food with Fubo Island when one can enjoy it alone?"

As he spoke, the Dragon-Shaped Dharma Body transformed outside him suddenly extended its claws.

A huge azure claw, not a bit smaller than the palace, wrapped in roaring thunder and violent gusts, tore the space into black chaotic shreds, booming straight towards the woman.

The pressure descended, and in Yujing City, over a million citizens were all shocked and terrified, and those with weak minds were even prostrate on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

In the air, as the airflow surged, the smell of urine and feces appeared in large areas.

In an instant, cries and wails resounded as one.

"Since that is so, don’t blame me, Xiao Biyu, for being ruthless and breaking the Great Li Dragon Vein, ensuring mutual destruction. I only hope, Ji Tang, when you have a chance to meet Ji Hai, you can withstand his wrath."

The woman, however, was no longer angry at this moment.

She didn’t pay attention to the pressure of the dragon claw falling from the sky, a three-zhang blue light rose above her head, firmly protecting her body.

She temporarily blocked the dragon claw’s grasp.

Her phoenix eyes softly looked at the baby in her arms, filled with love and reluctance.

At the same time, the jade flute in her hand, under the increased pressure of her jade hand, emitted a peculiar light, and the sound of the flute cracked crisply...

As this crisp sound appeared, resounding in everyone’s ears and hearts.

The entire Yujing City, buildings shook, the ground trembled slightly, and a rumbling noise came from all directions.

No one knew what was happening.
