The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 935 Cultivation Secrets, Ambush Site

"Just do your best."

Faced with Chen Ping'an's self-deprecating excuse, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo did not expose him, but simply nodded.

With a calm expression and ethereal demeanor, he completely baffled Chen Ping'an.

Based on memory, the two clearly had the closest relationship, but given their current situation, it's clear that it was all just wishful thinking.

The emotions of that night, the fragile demeanor beneath the veil—they were nothing more than pawns in a scheme.

That's true, after all, she's the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult.

Chen Ping'an suppressed his thoughts and began to plan his trip.

From the introduction given by the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Net, he also clearly understood the goal of this trip.

Their opponent was no ordinary person, but a veteran overhauler in perfect condition.

One of them is in his prime, undergoing a magnificent cultivation at the height of his power!

He had never actually come into contact with the Great Cultivation of Heaven and Man, and all his judgments relied on the information gathered. Specific circumstances were bound to differ.

Fortunately, he had already completed his third refinement, was skilled in speed, and with his extraordinary bloodline, his escape speed was even more astonishing.

Even if mistakes occur, they won't lead to a situation that is completely irreparable.

Although this is a dangerous job, the overall risk is still manageable.

In fact, with the Pact of Dreams in hand, he really had no other choice.

Rather than placing your hopes on others, it's more reassuring to keep them in your own hands.

另外

With the Holy Maiden of Tianluo around, she can at least share some of the pressure with him.

Since the Holy Maiden of Tianluo was able to contend with that veteran cultivator for so long, she must possess extraordinary and terrifying methods.

Otherwise, with only the realm of a half-step Grand Cultivator, he might not be able to contend with a veteran Grand Cultivator.

Speaking of

With this thought in mind, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but glance at the Heavenly Luo Saintess.

Rumor has it that the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net possesses the body of Taiyin, but what is the reason for this?

He didn't sense anything at all?

During their previous battles, he had not noticed anything unusual about his body. His fighting techniques were no different from those of an ordinary person.

Why is this?

Is the rumor wrong, or...?

Chen Ping'an's emotions shifted, and he couldn't help but glance at the Heavenly Luo Saintess a few more times.

"What are you thinking about?" The ethereal and dreamlike voice of the Heavenly Luo Saintess rang in his ears.

Chen Ping'an remained expressionless as he looked at the woman beside him. Through the beam of light, he could almost smell her ethereal, cool fragrance, like a clear spring in a secluded valley, pure and refreshing.

"nothing."

Chen Ping'an withdrew his gaze, remaining calm and collected: "I was just wondering what the extraordinary nature of your precious body is."

"Do you want to know?" The Heavenly Luo Saintess's eyes were like stars, a dreamlike galaxy.

"of course."

Chen Ping'an was surprised that the Holy Maiden of Tianluo communicated so directly, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo suddenly smiled, her beauty captivating and alluring, a fleeting dreamlike moment, just as before.

"Why don't you try it and see?"

Try?

Chen Ping'an was taken aback upon hearing this. By the time he came to his senses, the Heavenly Luo Saintess's expression had returned to calm, and she was looking ahead as if she were surveying the terrain.

The scene just now seemed like his illusion.

this.

Chen Ping'an looked astonished, his heart fluttering slightly.

What does "try" mean?

How do I test the Taiyin Body?

Chen Ping'an's heart skipped a beat, and his mind began to wander.

However, he quickly realized something was wrong, cleared his mind, and his expression returned to normal.

"What does the Holy Maiden mean by this?"

Daydreaming is useless; it's better to just speak up.

"It's nothing." The Holy Maiden of Tianluo did not turn around, her expression cold and indifferent, ethereal as a dream.

"We're almost there, it's just ahead. Let's get ready early."

"Okay," Chen Pingan replied.

He was curious about the miraculous body of the Heavenly Luo Saintess, but with important matters at hand, dealing with the major repair was clearly more urgent.

This is his first major confrontation, so he needs to be more cautious.

Even with the Heavenly Maiden by her side, it should still be the same.

He didn't want to end up looking disheveled on his first attempt at overhauling.

Chen Ping'an had limited knowledge of the Great Cultivation, but the Heavenly Luo Saintess clearly did not.

Martial arts masters are figures who stand on the clouds in the eyes of the world.

Not to mention the great cultivation of celestial beings.

Even ordinary Celestial Families and powerful Sects, even those with secret records, have very limited understanding of Great Cultivators.

However, it is clear that the Heavenly Net Saintess is not included.

The Tianluo Sect boasts a long history, a stellar reputation, and a profound foundation. As one of the six major sects of the demonic path, it is a true behemoth even within dynasties.

With such a powerful background, as the current Holy Maiden of the Tianluo Sect, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo naturally possesses extraordinary vision.

Although the two didn't communicate much along the way, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo didn't hold back much when it came to dealing with matters. With her guidance, Chen Ping'an successfully extracted some secret information about the Celestial Realm cultivator from her.

The three realms of Heaven and Man, the realm of Hidden Radiance, is the Great Cultivation of Heaven and Man.

Those who cultivate to the highest level live for 1,500 years and can witness the rise and fall of power, the changing of eras, and the prosperity and decline of time.

Unlike the Pivot Light Realm and the Piercing Rainbow Realm, the cultivation of the Hidden Radiance Realm is more singular, with the core path revolving around the two words "Hidden Radiance".

Entering the three realms and achieving great cultivation, the Pivot Light Conceals, the Spirit Bridge Empties, and the Vortex Forms—these are merely the beginnings of the three realms.

The next stage of cultivation requires continuous concealment of one's talents and virtues, hiding one's brilliance from the world, until the spiritual platform returns to its hidden state.

The Lingtai (spirit platform) is the inner landscape.

The inner landscape is hidden and radiant, leading to a place of refuge!

Unlike the early stages of cultivation, the realm of cultivation after entering the Celestial Realm becomes even more mysterious and wondrous. All levels of cultivation are extremely difficult to quantify. Different foundations and backgrounds mean that even if there are differences in cultivation levels between two individuals, it is extremely difficult to accurately demonstrate these differences in actual combat.

Realm, foundation, cultivation method, secret technique, talent, precious treasure, elixir, external objects.

At this stage, there are too many factors that interfere with combat effectiveness.

With so many factors at play, it's difficult to measure the specifics based on just one aspect.

Thus, even among those who cultivate the Great Dao, their realms may differ.

There are newcomers, veterans who have been here for years, those with a strong and well-rounded character, and those who have reached the four border passes.

However, all assessments are ultimately based on combat strength to make a definitive judgment.

There are categories such as routine overhaul, long-term overhaul, and even higher-level overhauls.

The term "veteran master cultivator" does not refer to the dimension of time. If one's foundation for protecting one's path and one's comprehensive methods are insufficient, then no matter how long one has cultivated, one is still just an ordinary master cultivator.

Some exceptionally talented individuals, after cultivating for hundreds of years, achieved the highest level of cultivation, only to stop here.

There are also those with extraordinary bodies who, through the secrets of their bodies, can enter the ranks of veteran cultivators despite being newly promoted.

There are also those with supernatural powers and profound understanding of the art, who, through their own talent, have worked their way up step by step to become veteran cultivators.

However, those who can reach the level of a Celestial Being and achieve this stage are all exceptionally talented and can be considered the chosen ones of their time. Any one of them, taken individually, could be an unparalleled figure capable of compiling a biography of a region's destiny.

Anyone, in any place, across dozens of states, could be considered a legend.

This is a true legend that emerged from a vast territory, encompassing dozens of states, hundreds of thousands of cities, and countless lives.

In this world, and in this land, that is a living legend. A lifespan of 1,500 years, for mortals, is equivalent to dozens of generations of life.

In fact, for those who cultivate to the highest level, if they consume longevity fruits and pills, and plan carefully, their lifespan will not be less than 1,700 years.

Once the major repair stage is reached, under the nourishing influence of nature, it is extremely difficult to suffer any hidden injuries under normal circumstances. Even if there are any hidden injuries, with the expenditure of resources and the addition of bargaining chips, one can obtain miraculous elixirs and recover to full health.

Legend has it that a celestial being, after undergoing great cultivation, suffered a severe injury and was crippled on one side. However, he later paid a huge sum to have a master puppeteer perform the surgery, which restored him to his former glory.

The Heavenly Luo Saintess truly lives up to her name; her knowledge, experience, and information reserves far surpass those of an ordinary rogue cultivator like him, who has neither a sect nor a family background, nor any lineage or mentor.

Although he worked in the Zhenfu Division system, there was a difference between his public status and his actual situation, and there was a lot of information that he could not access.

Along the way, Chen Ping'an asked quite a few questions.

This is a rare opportunity, so we should seize it.

Who knows when we'll see each other again after this?

You can't expect the other person to be with you every day like in a dream, can you?

That's absolutely out of the ordinary!

"May I ask, Holy Maiden, if the cultivation of the Third Realm is like this, then what about the Great Celestial Being of the Fourth Realm?"

Within the escaping light, Chen Ping'an, his face filled with hope, inquired about crucial information.

Previously, he had tried to elicit information by guiding the conversation and subtly asking questions. However, after several attempts, he found that the other party was exceptionally open and forthcoming in this regard, answering all questions in a detailed and comprehensive manner.

While it can't be said that he gave me everything I asked for, it was pretty much the same.

This little celestial being

He's a really nice person.

Chen Ping'an smiled and sighed slightly.

Well then, this can be considered as him receiving part of his payment in advance.

The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." This principle also applies to spiritual practice.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more valuable the corresponding information becomes.

Within dynasties, there were many powerful organizations that specialized in the intelligence business, with selling information and taking on commissions as their main business.

Information at the level of a Celestial Master's Great Repair can fetch a considerable price for each piece.

As for some of the customized information that involves secrets, that's even more terrifying.

"The Four Realms of Celestial Beings, the Realm of Returning to the Source, the Inner Landscape of Returning to the Source, one can see Heaven and Earth." The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Luo, her eyes like stars, her gaze a pale purple, calmly recounted the secrets of cultivation for the Four Realms of Celestial Beings.

Chen Ping'an listened calmly to the information with a pleasant expression, digesting it silently.

The Heavenly Saintess is truly magnificent!

He's speaking the truth.

Unlike previous exchanges with fellow enthusiasts, where they spoke eloquently about anecdotes and stories, but remained silent when it came to crucial matters, as if saying one more word would cost them their lives.

With this thought in mind, Chen Ping'an found the Heavenly Luo Saintess before him even more pleasing to the eye.

It's packed with useful information.

Chen Ping'an felt a surge of joy, like a thirsty person frantically absorbing all kinds of information.

This is a rare opportunity, so we should seize it.

With this discovery, his judgment of all information was now grounded in reality.

Looking at the man in front of her, the Heavenly Luo Saintess remained calm, but a barely perceptible ripple appeared in her eyes, which were like a dreamlike starry river.

It's hard to imagine that, having come this far, he still couldn't even understand these basic details.

How did the man in front of me, all alone with no connections or background, get to where he is today? How much hardship and suffering did he endure along the way?

Looking at the man before her, whose calm demeanor concealed a yearning in his eyes, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo felt a pang of tenderness and affection.

Two beams of light, comparable to those of a Celestial Master, traversed the continuous mountain range of the Black Nether Mountain Range.

In the current situation, with no one around, Chen Ping'an didn't hold back much.

His speed was within expectations.

The only Heavenly Maiden is also his natural ally because of the Pact of Illusions.

Although their positions may not necessarily be the same, they will inevitably converge on some crucial matters. Especially on matters of life and death, their positions will certainly be aligned.

Despite this influence, Chen Ping'an still retains this basic level of trust.

Chen Ping'an scrutinized the beautiful woman beside him.

It must be said that the Heavenly Net Saintess is indeed remarkable; her speed alone is quite impressive.

No wonder he was able to hold his own against that veteran repairman for so long.

I have no idea how she cultivated herself.

How could his cultivation level have reached this point in just a few years?

In their past battle, her cultivation level was indeed higher than his. But with her current progress, she shouldn't be able to surpass him.

His progress in the past two years can only be described as phenomenal.

Ordinary practitioners may not be able to reach this level in their entire lives.

But the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net not only arrived, but also encountered no obstacles whatsoever.

Is this Demon Lord's secret treasure truly so beneficial?

Or is it...?

Several possible guesses came to Chen Ping'an's mind.

Half a day later, with the help of Chen Ping'an's information gathering, the two arrived at a steep valley.

Although this place is a valley, it covers a vast area, with all the peaks being majestic and steep, with cliffs stretching across the landscape. The terrain is extremely dangerous, with jagged rocks and scattered stones. Thick black fog, like ink, hangs in the air all year round, making it an excellent location for an ambush.

By this point, the mist within the Black Nether Mountains could already affect the divine souls of the celestial beings. Although it didn't completely destroy their senses, it still caused considerable interference.

The two traveled at an astonishing speed, and with a clear objective, they traveled in a straight line. Although it had only been a few days, their speed, comparable to that of a Celestial Realm cultivator, allowed them to pass through the branch of the Black Nether Mountain Range and continue upwards into the main range.

"This is it."

With a flash of light, the Heavenly Net Saintess landed first.

Chen Ping'an followed closely behind, using his divine sense to perceive the surroundings and observe the terrain.

While the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net can be trusted, it's still best to be cautious in some aspects.

The affairs of the world are beyond calculation. One may think he has everything under control, but due to information asymmetry, he may sometimes just be a clown.

After the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Net landed, she quickly set up the surrounding area.

Chen Ping'an was not idle either; he observed the terrain and began to plan his next move.

In this operation, he made an agreement with the Holy Maiden of Tianluo: if successful, he would receive 70% of the spoils. If there were any losses incurred during the operation, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo would make up the difference.

It has to be said, this Heavenly Maiden is truly wealthy.

I wonder how much benefit they actually gained from the Demon Lord's secret treasure?

If she

What on earth is going on here?!

Chen Pingan shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions.

Murder and arson bring wealth and power; it's almost become a skilled trade.

Looking back, I still remember the first time I tried to make a move in Nanquan Lane. I almost made a mistake because I was timid.

But now, he is familiar with everything and knows it all by himself.

really

People always grow.

As Chen Ping'an set up his plans, the combat skills, techniques, and secret arts of the opponent, as described by the Heavenly Luo Saintess, also came to mind.

"This veteran cultivator likely came from a humble background, his techniques leaning towards the unorthodox path, and he also practiced some deadly secret arts, especially his nasal resonance technique, which is truly mind-blowing, like being struck by lightning. Furthermore, his treasures are well-rounded in both offense and defense, and his methods are extremely formidable. Most importantly, he possesses a pair of bone wings."

Chen Ping'an's emotions shifted as he searched for a way to control them. (End of Chapter)
