Chen Ping's Sword

It seems quite simple.

In reality, it’s not too difficult either.

However, the hidden schemes and strategies have been revolving in Chen Ping’s mind since the moment he arrived.

Having such achievements is considered normal.

The third level is not so easy to fool.

After the Heaven-Reaching Tower recorded the Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword and Supreme Sword Heart, the three replicas appearing on the third level were not only offensive and defensive with Unrivaled Divine Power; they also had the ability to see through weaknesses and adapt quickly.

They were equally skilled in scheming, capable of employing countless strategies.

More ridiculously, there were three of them.

Three against one, no matter what brilliant strategies or ultimate skills I employed, I was left struggling and constantly hindered.

"This time it’s really troublesome."

Chen Ping worried silently, stepping up the stairs slowly and steadily.

At this moment, he couldn’t spare a single thought to consider how Fang Qingzhu, Han Xiaoru, and Ji Mingyue were faring in breaking through.

Had they already been killed by their own replicas?

Or had they been thrown into an unknown place by the All Heavens Floating Map of the Heaven-Reaching Tower to refine their soul and spirit?

Even though he harbored some concerns for the three deep down in his heart,

now was obviously not the time to dwell on such matters; he could only hope that the "Three Lights Divine Spell" taught by Fairy Fang would have some effect.

Whether there’s a fortuitous encounter or not is actually no longer important.

As long as the soul can be preserved without issues and retreat safely, that’s enough.

"There’s no way, facing three replicas, even if I use the Celestial Heart Bright Moon Killing Technique, my Realm of All Living Beings could still be shattered with one strike and cannot be held back."

Chen Ping was quite self-aware.

He knew better than anyone the true power of his own strikes.

Originally, if only one attacked, with the True Gang Glazed Body and the Unrivaled Divine Power driving the Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword, it almost had the might to slay gods, breaking blood, Qi, and intent, shattering all tangible and intangible things. His Realm of All Living Beings, though ambitious in concept, had only reached the Fourth Realm: Yin Deficiency Domain and had not materialized.

To put it bluntly, this domain was actually just a facade, a bluff.

Absorbing Vitality, affecting spirit, disassembling and breaking moves, might be very useful, also able to withstand domain attacks from opponents.

But, none of his other abilities relied on Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, directly targeting the source of power, also targeting the flaws of all things.

The Realm of All Living Beings couldn’t control such attacks.

Therefore, once engaged with the three replicas, the first wave of attacks would smash this domain to pieces.

In fact, that’s exactly how it was.

When he simultaneously attacked with the three replicas, relying on the Realm of All Living Beings to slightly delay the opponents’ attacks.

Then, confronting them head-on, he fiercely slew the first replica. The second one attacked so swiftly that it cleaved the Realm of All Living Beings with one sword...

The third replica’s man and sword united, transforming into a stream of light, slashing past Chen Ping’s neck with one sword.

Puff...

The original body, the True Gang Glazed Body, was destroyed from the foundation’s weakness, scattering countless pieces of flesh and blood everywhere.

Before the two replica’s could take a second action in breaking the domain and Breaking Golden Body,

at the point where Chen Ping’s body exploded, a shadow of six feet suddenly emerged.

This shadow expanded with the wind, gathered Qi, and unified power. With one sword, the power was twice as strong as before, with speed twice as fast.

It drew a perfect arc from the two replicas, shattering their foundations, breaking their weaknesses, and directly turning them into a mist of blood.

"That was close, like shaving a head."

"Back in the future conduct simulation of Trace Origin and Steal Fotune, Tang Lin’er managed to break through the third level of the tower and defeat the three replicas with this Brahma and I are One skill, it seems."

Given Chen Ping’s current foundation, without this incarnation that accumulated substitute death, reduced damage, and doubled counterattack, he couldn’t figure out how to cope with the third pass.

In this view, for Han Xiaoru and the others, it might be difficult.

Whether they fell at the second or the third pass is unknown, but it couldn’t have been as unscathed as he was.

It’s a pity that this Buddhist Divine Techniques came from Tang Lin’er gaining insight into Buddha Nature by chance, successfully cultivating it.

While during Trace Origin and Steal Fotune, he directly inherited the Entry but didn’t understand how to truly cultivate it.

Even if he wanted to teach it, it would be impossible.

Just like a calligrapher writing, like the script of a lament for a nephew, such script, you cannot write it just because you want to. It’s a series of coincidences, a suitable state of mind, and it naturally comes out.

Even if you ask the same calligrapher to write another one, he cannot capture that feeling again, without that mood.

And "Brahma and I are One", a very useful Divine Techniques, shone brightly in Tang Lin’er’s future simulation, absolutely worthy of being called a top-notch Technique.

Even Chen Ping, with his current extreme prowess, still regards this Divine Techniques as his ultimate trump card, showing just how useful this skill is.

Since Han Xiaoru and the others did not learn it, they cannot substitute death, which is a very sad topic.

Chen Ping shook his head, let out a long breath, and retracted the Brahma and I are One Secret Technique.

Slowly recovering vitality.

Using this move wasn’t difficult, but it had a cooldown period.

However, now that he had completed the third level of the tower, the surrounding environment had changed slightly, and there was no need to continue climbing up.

A vortex appeared at the staircase’s entrance.

Upon seeing this light mist vortex, Chen Ping felt a slight stirring in his heart.

Therefore, he understood that this should be where the fortuitous encounter is.

Just as Fang Qingzhu had said.

To quickly refine the soul, to step through the Divine Martial First Pass, paving the way for future endeavors, he truly couldn’t ignore this opportunity.

’Tang Lin’er must have gained benefits here, and then, not long after leaving the Celestial Star Ruins, advanced step by step into the Divine Martial Realm.’

Chen Ping couldn’t be sure how many years had passed in between.

However, the information he gathered from various sources indicates that stepping through this vortex only took three days.

Three days in the present world, three years inside.

One day one year, heaven and earth.

No wonder the passage here on this third level is called the All Heavens Floating Map.

It’s extraordinarily magical.

Who exactly created this thing?

And why hasn’t anyone taken it away?

Chen Ping was momentarily uncertain.

He waited for a while, but did not see any movement from the three women.

Thus, decided not to wait any longer.

He stepped into the vortex.

...

The light and shadows before his eyes shifted.

Chen Ping vigilantly watched, and saw the light as bright as day before him, with soft radiance pouring down from a brilliant sun overhead, in a slightly narrow room decorated elegantly and warmly.

A table, a bed, on the table there’s a computer, and on the bed besides the thin quilt lay several colorful half-open books.

He heard suppressed arguing voices coming from the next room.

"This is..."

Chen Ping felt a strange yet distant familiarity.

"This is modern society, isn’t this about soul refining? What kind of soul could be refined in an End of Dharma Era? From the dressing mirror I can see, I look youthful, still in a school uniform, I’m probably a high school student, around seventeen or eighteen, about to graduate."
