The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 940 Perfect Dao Foundation, Loot and Gains

Beneath the dreamlike clouds, Chen Ping'an was enveloped in flames, his body a dark gold, with a pair of golden fire wings behind him, seemingly capable of blotting out the sky.

Each flap of its wings stirs up a scorching gale, with golden flames flickering.

"ended."

Chen Ping'an remained calm as he sensed the aura of the Great Cultivator of White Bones dissipate and vanish into nothingness between heaven and earth.

Although the aura of the Celestial Master was difficult to fathom, it was very close at hand. After repeated verification, he could confirm that the White Bone Master had already perished.

With the spiritual platform shattered and the soul extinguished, even a great cultivator of the Celestial Realm would have no way to recover from such an injury.

The shock and madness of the other person before their death were still vivid in my mind, but in the blink of an eye, they were just a passerby, their life extinguished.

Chen Ping'an glanced at Huanmeng Yunguang with a wary expression, then slowly raised his hand. Golden flames, like liquid gold, flowed and gradually faded away. Behind him, in the void, the pair of golden fire wings melted into the air like fire.

The consumption of the Golden Fire Wings was terrifying. Driven by the divine power of his bloodline, it consumed his vital energy, which even he found quite strenuous.

Now that the great battle has ended and the White Bone Grandmaster is dead, there is naturally no need for him to maintain the status quo.

"Are you OK?"

The figure of the Heavenly Luo Saintess appeared beside Chen Ping'an.

Purple eyes like stars, ethereal temperament.

"fine."

Sensing the concern hidden in the Heavenly Luo Saintess's voice, Chen Ping'an glanced back at her and shook his head.

what's the situation?

This little Tianluo is already showing concern for people?

The terrifying shockwaves in the air had not yet fully dissipated.

The mountains and valleys were devastated, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had cracked.

The previous battles were so intense that even though the Black Nether Mountains have unusual terrain, many peaks have collapsed and overturned.

Where the aftershocks passed, devastation and ruin were everywhere.

The reason why a Celestial Master is called a "Celestial Master" is because of the terrifying combat power that far surpasses that of ordinary Celestial Masters.

The impact of a battle at the level of a major overhaul is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. When it appears before one's eyes, it is like the mighty force of nature, shaking one's mind and leaving one utterly shocked.

Fortunately, the battle took place in the Black Nether Mountains, where the black mist concealed the dangers, the rugged terrain provided cover, and the absence of other people minimized the destructive power and kept the situation under control.

After confirming the death of the Great Cultivator Bai Gu, Chen Ping'an did not delay much. He had already mastered all the procedures and processes involved in getting to where he was today.

He gathered all his spoils, used his spiritual senses to scan his surroundings, and carefully examined everything to see if he had overlooked anything. Then, he took measures to clean up the mess.

This series of procedures left the Holy Maiden of Tianluo completely bewildered.

Of course, this moment of surprise was just Chen Ping'an's own imagination.

In reality, the Heavenly Saintess, dressed in a black dress with flowing black hair, possessed an ethereal aura and a complex expression. As she watched Chen Ping'an bustling about, her purple eyes, like a dreamlike galaxy, reflected a dazzling sea of ​​stars.

he.

How come you're so skilled?

"This place is not safe to stay any longer. We hope that the Holy Maiden will join us in eliminating this aura and destroying all traces of it!"

While finishing up the remaining tasks, Chen Ping'an took a moment to say something to the Holy Maiden of Tianluo.

Chen Ping'an was speechless as he watched the Heavenly Luo Saintess observing from afar and observing him busy on his own.

In fact, if the two weren't so close, he probably would have just said something directly.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you coming over to help?"

The Holy Maiden of Tianluo glanced at him but didn't say anything. Surrounded by purple light, she joined him in dealing with the surrounding mess.

Children can be taught.

Chen Ping'an nodded in satisfaction.

When they met again this time, he felt that the Holy Maiden of Tianluo seemed a little different.

Just now, he felt that there was something glittering in the eyes of the Heavenly Maiden when she looked at him.

Speaking of which...

Chen Ping'an's emotions shifted, but he didn't think much of it.

Under the dreamlike clouds, everything is colorful and vibrant; in such a scene, everything reflected sparkles.

The whole process, though described as lengthy, actually lasted only a dozen or so moments.

To ensure no mishaps occurred, Chen Ping'an used a fourth-tier rare artifact, the Deep Sea Pearl, to wash away the impurities with ocean water. This method was sufficient to eliminate all traces of the impurities.

After dealing with these matters, the two exchanged a glance, and after confirming that nothing had been overlooked, they used their escape light to leave the area.

Before this battle, they had conducted reconnaissance and found no celestial beings within a thousand miles. However, now that so much time has passed, given the commotion, it's hard to guarantee that no unexpected events might occur.

Now that the matter has been resolved satisfactorily, it is time to leave as soon as possible.

Half a day later, Chen Ping'an and the Holy Maiden of Tianluo arrived at a secluded valley in the Black Nether Mountains.

The valley was narrow and surrounded by steep terrain; the black fog was enough to conceal the two people's tracks.

"Thanks to the Holy Maiden for assisting me in laying the foundation for the battle!"

Chen Ping'an bowed respectfully, his expression amiable.

At this moment, he had transformed into a refined middle-aged man, with the air of a scholar beneath his scholar's robes.

Looking at Chen Ping'an's attire, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo just wanted to roll her eyes.

This sixth brother.

Could it be any more stable?

However, having dreamt of this place for a thousand years, she knew the person before her very well.

Although dreams are all illusions, some things about them can indeed be taken as a reference.

Although Chen Ping'an said he had done a good job, he was clearly implying something else, clarifying the outcome of the battle.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, there's no need to be so polite. This matter is entirely within the purview of this hall. Fellow Daoist Chen, rest assured, this hall will not break its promise." The Heavenly Luo Saintess's black hair flowed freely, adding to her alluring charm in the dimly lit valley.

"That's excellent." Chen Ping'an said calmly.

Actually, it was just a polite remark; the main point was to clarify sovereignty and confirm the outcome of the battle.

He won't take the promised 70% of the reward from the Heavenly Maiden for nothing!

The final blow from the White Bone Grandmaster was delivered by him.

With a single finger, the white bones were completely shattered, the spirit platform between the eyebrows was extinguished, and the divine soul was annihilated.

but

The key to his ability to so easily kill his opponent was the illusory clouds and dreamlike colorful light.

Otherwise, even with his extraordinary bloodline and abundant resources, he would probably not have been able to fight so smoothly against a powerful cultivator facing a desperate situation.

Recalling the previous scene, a trace of apprehension appeared in Chen Ping'an's eyes.

"Dreamlike Clouds and Sky"

That dreamlike, colorful light was simply unbelievable; even a powerful cultivator at the peak of his cultivation was captivated by it and found it difficult to extricate himself.

Even when faced with a life-or-death situation, it was only at the very last moment that he managed to distinguish reality and regain his clarity.

But by this final step, it was clearly too late, and he could only die with regret.

A thousand-year-old path, destroyed in an instant.

No matter how glorious or prosperous you are, at the moment of life and death, you are ultimately just an ordinary person.

"What kind of secret technique is this? I've never seen it before. Is it the Heavenly Net Secret Technique, or...?" Chen Ping'an's thoughts shifted, and a hint of wariness appeared on his face.

This Heavenly Maiden possesses such a secret technique, yet she still offers me great rewards to invite me to join her. In the battle just now, based on the abilities she displayed, even if she couldn't kill the White Bone Grandmaster, she should still be able to leave with ease.

Why did you come to me?

and also

The Tianluo Sect boasts numerous powerful figures, with branch headquarters in all four regions of the dynasty. Even though members of the Demonic Sect are unpredictable, with her status as a Holy Maiden, finding allies shouldn't be difficult, right?

Could it be that...

Chen Ping'an's gaze sharpened slightly, a hint of doubt appearing on his face.

Is it because the Demon Lord keeps it a secret and doesn't want more people to know?

That's possible. He and the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Net share a dream pact, naturally possessing a certain level of trust. Besides, both of them gained something from the Demon Lord's secret treasure; even if they exposed each other, it wouldn't be a big deal.

At least, it's better to keep all the risks and impacts to yourself than to let others know.

As Chen Ping'an was thinking, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo also mentioned the spoils of this battle.

However, before assigning the tasks, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo inquired about his injuries. This was the second time she had done so, including the polite greetings after the previous battle.

The first time was just polite small talk, so what about the second time?

"Trying to play the emotional card?" Chen Ping'an sneered. "Do you really think I'll fall for that?"

If it's 70%, then it's 70%, not a penny less.

During the previous chaotic battle, when the White Bone Grandmaster fled, he left behind some valuable treasures in order to get rid of the entanglement, but most of the spoils ended up in Chen Ping'an's hands.

Including the remains and body of the White Bone Great Cultivator, and the Yin Jade Bone Wings, it means that Chen Ping'an holds absolute initiative in the distribution of spoils in this battle.

This little celestial being

They're quite shrewd.

Chen Ping'an's face was calm, his eyes were serene, and he had a detached mindset that seemed to see through everything.

However, while examining the Heavenly Luo Saintess in front of him, he suddenly noticed that she seemed to have suffered a minor injury on her hand.

Although it's not serious, there's no doubt that he/she is injured.

"Are you injured?"

Recalling his previous feelings, Chen Ping'an was even more certain of this.

He calmly looked at the ethereal woman before him, who seemed like a fairy in a dream, and a faint pang of tenderness rose in his heart.

However, in an instant, Chen Ping'an became wary and reflected on his actions.

"Dreams are dreams, reality is reality, Chen Ping'an, don't let your imagination run wild!"

In an instant, that trace of tenderness vanished without a trace.

"You're injured, do you want to get your wound treated first?"

While discussing the distribution of spoils, Chen Ping'an asked a perfunctory question.

The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net lowered her eyes, glanced at the injury on her wrist, and gently shook her head.

"No need."

Chen Ping'an only asked a perfunctory question, and since the other party said it wasn't necessary, then it wasn't necessary. He continued Tianluo Saintess's words and began to discuss the distribution of the spoils of war.

With a gentle wave of his hand, all his gains appeared before the two of them.

Like him, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Net also presented the spoils of her trip.

In the dimly lit valley, as several objects appeared, a spiritual light began to flow and reflect each other, sweeping away the gloom.

Previously, whether intentionally or unintentionally, or as a tacit understanding between the two, they had not deliberately brightened up their surroundings.

I don't know if it's to seek peace of mind, to ensure the lowest possible risk, or because of that lingering feeling deep inside.

Ambiguous and unclear.

The Celestial Being is indeed a great cultivator; his wealth and resources far exceed Chen Ping'an's expectations.

"The Magic Bag!"

Chen Ping'an's eyes lit up, and he precisely focused on one of the objects in front of him.

The bag, about the size of a palm, was inlaid with dark, luminous beads, from which faint starlight could be seen. It was bound with a strange blue rope, resembling the bloodline and tendons of some kind of demonic beast.

The object before him was the very same magical pouch he had longed for for so long.

As storage items, the Myriad Spirit Bag is clearly of a much higher grade than the Thousand Machine Bag. Chen Ping'an had to go through some trouble to open this Myriad Spirit Bag.

If it weren't for his profound foundation, solid roots, and soul comparable to a third-realm cultivator, breaking through the mark restriction of the white bone cultivator would probably be a pipe dream.

Even so, he still put in a lot of effort.

In the previous battle, he displayed his peak combat power, and the Heavenly Luo Saintess was obviously already aware of his situation. Now, in person, Chen Ping'an did not hide the secret of his perfect Dao Foundation.

The difference between the second and third realms is vast. Under normal circumstances, no matter how strong one's foundation, a perfect second-realm cultivation is still comparable to a great third-realm cultivator. Unless one has a perfect Dao foundation, or has obtained some heaven-defying opportunity, or consumed some spiritual treasures or divine pills and fruits that have helped strengthen one's soul and foundation.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to compare the second realm with the third realm!

With efficiency as the top priority, Chen Ping'an held nothing back.

Since it has already been exposed, the perfect Dao Foundation can be considered a reasonable symbol for the previous combat power level.

As Chen Ping'an had predicted, the Heavenly Luo Saintess's expression did not change much in the face of his perfect Dao Foundation, remaining as ethereal as before.

"he"

The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net looked at the man before her, and a barely perceptible ripple stirred deep within her eyes, which were like a dreamlike starry river.

She found it hard to imagine how much effort the other person had put in to reach this point and build such a strong spiritual foundation, given their mortal aptitude!

This kind of mentality and perseverance.

Even she couldn't help but feel sincere admiration at that moment.

Looking at the man in front of her who was meticulously refining the mark of the Myriad Spirits Bag, the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net had a few words of comment in her mind.

"Materials for the Great Way".

The divine light shone on Chen Ping'an's face, making his features appear even more profound.

Although he displayed a perfect Dao foundation, Chen Ping'an still held back a move when facing the Heavenly Net Saintess.

Supernatural phenomena, the meaning of black and white.

Although his relationship with the Holy Maiden of Tianluo is currently acceptable and they share common interests, the two have had many past entanglements and a special relationship. If circumstances change in the future, things may not be as good as they are today.

In such situations, it's natural to keep something in reserve.

They're not even cultivation partners, why are they being so open with each other?!

Furthermore, even among Daoist couples, there are still secrets between them.

Such situations are perfectly normal.

It took Chen Ping'an almost half a day to finally open the Magic Bag.

"This is."

Seeing the abundant resources inside, he couldn't help but marvel at it.

The space in the Wanling Bag is far greater than that in the Qianji Bag; in terms of both privacy and scale, they are on completely different levels.

Even so, the other party's wealth filled most of the Wanling Bag.

Although most of the items inside are just miscellaneous collectibles, they are still extremely heavy.

"Major overhaul. This is the Great Overhaul of Heaven and Man."

Chen Ping'an felt excited and joyful at his achievement.

After sorting and categorizing the spoils and assigning them to their respective places, the two began to formally discuss how to distribute them.

Inside the cramped cave, the light was dim, but the faint shadows of two figures could be seen in the glow of the spirit.

The two sat side by side, though there was some distance between them, yet at that moment, they appeared exceptionally well-matched! (End of Chapter)
