Chen Ping's Sword

Next, he naturally acted harmlessly, making every effort to assist Yuwen Mu in ascending to the throne and eliminating dissenters, while also dispatching troops to invade the south.

At the same time, he sent out a large number of trusted confidants to gather information about treasures from various places.

Of course, he did not forget to secretly and diligently cultivate the Profound Water Scripture and successfully transformed the Dharma Body with the Profound Nether Heavy Water.

This person is truly someone with extraordinary talent.

He has managed to gain the favor of Venerable Mingyu and Venerable Mingxin, who regard him as a trusted confidant.

He indeed has his skills.

In just twenty years, he mastered the Profound Water Swordsmanship, cultivated to the Infinite Realm, and pioneered the Ninefold Overlapping Waves Technique. With one sword strike, it was said to be as vast as the Infinite Ocean.

Facing direct confrontation, beneath the Divine Martial Realm, unmatched and unparalleled.

It was from this day that the name Black Dragon Platform resounded throughout the world.

Even masters within the Divine Martial Realm, like Shui Wuyan, dared to consider him.

It is imaginable how strong his life-saving abilities were, and how exquisite his attacking sword technique was.

...

Chen Ping’s vision blurred as he awoke from his thoughts.

He let out a long sigh.

His eyes revealed shock.

"This world is surprisingly not naturally formed but altered by a great power, where thirty-six islands were directly transformed in one day to recreate the ancient times of the Three Emperors leading to the dynastic struggles."

"No wonder I felt that this dynasty had many similarities with some historical events recorded in my past life. Even the characters and language sometimes include familiar ancient idioms."

"Who is stirring up the winds and clouds, transforming the heavens and the earth? It is evidently beyond my level of understanding. Even those in Black Lotus Hall scheming secretly for incense power and those wanting Black Lotus Blooming are entirely clueless about what truly happened back then."

The only guess is that the treasure might be the [Heaven-Reaching Tower], a spatial relic. This was evident when Chen Ping cleared the third level and was directly sent to another world for soul refining, showcasing its extraordinary nature.

However, Chen Ping does not know how to acquire the treasure, and neither do Venerable Mingxin and the others. If not, the tower would have been removed from its original location."

"So, when Tang Lin’er acquired the golden destiny and saw the future fragments, witnessing that pagoda soaring skyward, this world greeted an apocalyptic scene, clearly showing it wasn’t the correct path to retrieve the treasure, but a path to self-destruction."

"Then comes the question, what is the correct way to obtain the treasure? Who placed this tower in the Celestial Star Ruins, and for what purpose? Is it merely to suppress demons?"

There are numerous doubts.

Thinking about it was enough to burn out one’s brain.

Chen Ping deeply felt the lack of information and chose not to dwell, planning to advance his cultivation further, gaining confidence to continue exploring the tower to see what happens next.

With his current strength, that Heaven-Reaching Tower is certainly not to be ventured into.

A careless mistake could lead to demise inside the tower.

Overcoming others is easy, overcoming oneself is hard. If any level records all one’s abilities and then materializes several identical versions of oneself, it might result in the tower killing one’s true self.

Therefore, without thorough planning, continuing to challenge the levels would not be wise.

"This place is indeed surrounded by the sea, with Beizhou Barbarians being native to the island, while the people of Great Li are outsiders who have proliferated and flourished... truly unexpected."

"Is there a part of the world where Earth exists? Could what those in Black Lotus Hall mentioned about the Nine Demon Suppression Halls wanting to escape the Star Luo Sea Domain and enter the Kyushu Barrier be the legendary domain I imagined?"

"Could it be that there are truly immortals in this world?"

The information received was too shocking.

Chen Ping almost doubted his world was an illusion.

However, he could clearly feel his life was utterly real when opening the door and seeing the lively and bustling street.

"No matter the scenery in the heavens above, it is unnecessary to think too far ahead. First, live each day well and survival assures a future."

The path lies beneath one’s feet.

Chen Ping cleared his mind, then started reviewing the benefits he gained.

This golden destiny, to be honest, still seems lacking.

Perhaps knowing about the internal struggles within the Nine Demon Suppression Halls might be somewhat useful.

But it is too distant to provide significant help to his current self.

On the other hand, the sword martial arts cultivated by Shui Wuyan offered substantial help, a case of minor victories rather than none.

The most useful Water Escape Technique filled a long-standing gap in Chen Ping’s evasion skills.

His Lightweight Body Technique Class Ultimate Skill is formidable.

Yet they only excel within the same realm, considered a cut above others.

Encountering truly powerful masters, when locked down, escaping becomes impossible.

It is unreliable to assume Venerables in the Divine Martial Realm wouldn’t know several adept Tracking Techniques and Body Technique Ultimate Skills.

If one were to face a master of rapid escape with profound foundation, not only would fighting be challenging, escaping would be too, and only death would await.

The Water Escape belongs to the technique classified under low-level Divine Techniques, deserving such categorization somewhat.

In cases where there is no stringent restraint, even facing much stronger adversaries, there is still a chance to escape alive.

Primarily, Chen Ping valued this technique for its invisible and intangible properties, quick speed notwithstanding, allowing one to blend into any body of water seamlessly.

Whether for ambush, hiding, or fleeing, it was supremely useful.

In a previous battle with Shui Wuyan.

Had Chen Ping not used the Sun and Moon Ring’s Sun and Moon Radiance to simultaneously dry the lake, he couldn’t have forced Shui Wuyan out, even if chased to the seaside, he would’ve had no other option but to watch him slip away.

"Now it’s mine."

Chen Ping laughed heartily.

His gaze shifted back to the sword technique.

On the Spring and Autumn Silkworm Attribute Panel, the third limit-breaking level Perfection Swordsmanship was formed.

The first sword technique is Swift Sword Unrivaled, dedicated to attacking weak spots, called the "Clear Wind Bright Moon Sword."

With one thrust, merging with the breeze, shining like bright moonlight.

Only the Sword Light can be seen without the person, striking weak points so swiftly, opponents couldn’t react.

During usual engagements, Chen Ping favored this set of sword technique.

Its fierce and rapid strikes left opponents unable to withstand even one blow.

His Halberd Technique primarily originated from this method.

The second sword technique is the Seven Stars Primordial Sword, gathering Star Power, driven by Dragon Essence Sword Gang, incredibly heavy and overwhelming.

During confronting formidable foes, he often employed this sword, breaking through by force, crushing opponents with sheer power.

Facing Divine Master Duran, Yan Beifei, and even the recent Shui Wuyan, he mostly used this method.

In frontal combat, undefeated.

In theory, with Swift Sword and Heavy Sword, issuing quick and heavy strikes combined with Dragon Essence Sword Gang concentrating attacks with great strength, no weaknesses should exist.

After the encounter with Shui Wuyan, Chen Ping realized he still had a weakness.

That was the inability to reach far.

If an opponent distanced themselves to fight, whether using Clear Wind Bright Moon Sword or Seven Stars Primordial Sword, conquering them would be tough.

He was thus forced to utilize a Spiritual Artifact not yet fully controlled.

Nevertheless, Shui Wuyan managed to escape over ten miles, nearly eluding him.

During engagements, Shui Wuyan often secured the initiative, attacking first.

This wasn’t coincidental but inevitable.

After tracing origin and stealing fortune.

Chen Ping acquired the third sword technique, Profound Nether Infinite Sword, Ninefold Overlapping Waves Technique.

With one sword strike, like ocean waves surging, the Sword Force extended hundreds or even thousands of meters.

Maximizing Chen Ping’s Dragon Essence Sword Gang Sword Qi.

Holding this sword, even against cunning adversaries like Shui Wuyan with numerous tricks, there’s no need for overthinking. One strike would pulverize everything within a thousand meters, ending the story.

"Water Escape Technique and Profound Nether Infinite Swordsmanship have uniquely enhanced my survival abilities, enhancing my safety significantly, and the strategy of slow growth and development planned previously no longer fits."

"Since Black Lotus Hall requires belief within despair... the Beizhou Barbarians occupy vast lands, and millions suffer immensely...

With each passing day, the Black Lotus grows stronger, while I grow too.

If Black Lotus Blooming occurs, a major calamity ensues."
