Daqian Martial Saint

As the Beicang Auction drew ever closer, the various routes leading to the Long’an Trade Route became increasingly chaotic. On certain routes and in some regions, the chaos was especially rampant, a consequence of the various local Garrison Commandant’s Offices and Qiankun Bureaus being short-staffed.

In the past, the Weishui Garrison and the Weishui Branch of the Qiankun Bureau would have dispatched reinforcements long ago to handle such a situation. But now, with countless complicated matters to attend to, everything was a tangled mess. Although the Weishui Garrison had made arrangements and adjustments in advance, they were still stretched thin for manpower.

Lacking the strong support of the Weishui Garrison, the situation in the regions along the county’s routes grew increasingly unstable.

However, for the Weishui Garrison, the top priority was to coordinate with the Canglong Province Garrison Command and ensure the Beicang Auction proceeded smoothly. As long as the auction could be held successfully, everything else was a minor detail. Even if chaos reigned for a time, they could eventually suppress it once they freed up their hands.

The Beicang Auction, on the other hand, concerned the prestige of the Trade Route and was of the utmost importance!

Many forces from the Demon Dao and Evil Dao had infiltrated the area, hoping to disrupt the Beicang Auction and use the opportunity to strike a blow against the Trade Route’s prestige.

If they couldn’t even hold an auction safely and smoothly, then how could the security of the Long’an Trade Route possibly be guaranteed!?

The various factions all had different motives. Besides those bent on disruption, other forces hoped to take advantage of the chaos to profit and reap some benefits!

In short, with Beicang Town at its core, the situation radiating outward from the Canglong Mountain Range had become extremely complex.

However, this complex situation had not affected affairs within Five Peaks Mountain City. Compared to the chaos on other routes, Five Peaks Mountain City was undoubtedly enjoying a period of immense tranquility.

Five Peaks Mountain City was merely a small city; naturally, it wouldn’t attract Absolute Masters or those in the Profound Light Middle Realm to stay for long. Experts who had reached such a Realm had long since departed for Beicang Town to experience its prosperity and await the start of the Beicang Auction.

As for ordinary Profound Light Realm cultivators, they wouldn’t dare to stir up trouble under the shadow of Chen Ping’an’s reputation. And those below the Profound Light Realm? Even less so.

In short, within the current Five Peaks Mountain City, the name ’Chen Ping’an’ carried immense weight! Under his suppressive deterrence, no petty troublemakers dared to cause a disturbance.

Even if some hot-headed fools did cause trouble on impulse, they were quickly suppressed by the Five Peaks Mountain Town Pacification Bureau and the joint patrol teams formed by the various factions.

With the situation in Five Peaks Mountain City stable, Chen Ping’an could finally focus on his secluded cultivation.

As Chen Ping’an completed one full circulation of his energy, a familiar line of Cultivation Experience flashed before his eyes.

+1!

"It’s done!"

Chen Ping’an’s eyes snapped open, a sharp glint of light bursting from within! This was no metaphorical glint; if anyone had been beside him, they would have clearly seen a flash of light as his eyes opened.

Having entered the Profound Light High Realm, he had long since gained some Divine Wonders.

The so-called Profound Light Penetrating Objects ability allowed one to use Profound Light Divine Intent to interfere with reality, control weapons, and display these Divine Wonders!

However, Chen Ping’an rarely displayed these Divine Wonders. In battle, he preferred to use a single, decisive strike. Abilities like these were more supplementary in nature; their actual Power of Slaughter was, in fact, quite limited.

Of course, this ’limitation’ was relative. If the controlled weapons were used against someone in the Inner Qi Realm, the pressure on the opponent would be unprecedented.

Using Profound Light Divine Intent to interfere with reality and control weapons was more suited for large-scale slaughter.

This was also why those in the Profound Light High Realm were known as Absolute Masters. For them, without a qualitative advantage, being swarmed by sheer numbers was no longer very effective!

An encirclement would only be effective if they waited until his Profound Light was completely exhausted, leaving him unable to sustain control. But...

Absolute Masters aren’t fools. When faced with a mob, they would naturally find a way to escape! Then, they would wait for another opportunity to strike!

Barring special terrain or circumstances, simply swarming them was no longer a viable tactic against Absolute Masters!

HUMMM—

True Qi rippled around Chen Ping’an, forming invisible waves. His eyes flickered slightly as a Golden Finger Panel materialized in the empty space before him.

Name: Chen Ping’an

Realm: Profound Light - Profound Light Penetrating Objects

Martial Arts: Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill (Great Success, 1600/1600), Three-Point Human Tribulation Finger (Great Success, 437/1600), Great Vajra Palm (Perfection)...

...

The accumulated Breaking Realm Experience for the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill was now sufficient!

A trace of excitement appeared in Chen Ping’an’s eyes.

’I’ve waited for this day for a long, long time!’

’Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill, Perfection! What kind of power will the Golden Body Unbreakable Realm hold!?’

’Breakthrough!’

As Chen Ping’an willed it, the Experience Points on the panel hovering in the air began to churn wildly.

SHHHH—

It was the same familiar process that Chen Ping’an had experienced before. The only difference was that this time, more than double the amount of starlight poured into the space between his eyebrows!

As the starlight entered his body, a sea of insights surged through his mind.

The Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill practiced both Inner and Outer Cultivation and possessed three major characteristics.

Indestructibility! Fierce Counter Shock! Divine Immunity!

To grasp the Vajra’s Intent to achieve the Unbreakable Realm! This is the meaning of Vajra Unbreakable...

Once unleashed, the user’s body is as if clad in golden armor, transforming into a Vajra Body that can withstand any and all external attacks...

Beyond its normal use, the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill can be fully activated. When fully activated, one can transform into the shape of a Little Giant. It is divided into two levels: Unbreakable Copper Body and Golden Body Unbreakable...
