Chen Ping's Sword

Chapter 333: Chapter 168: Battle With the Grandmaster, Merging the Three Yang Meridians (Part 3)

Although it was just a moment, the opponent could directly retreat from the battle and flee.

Relying solely on his own, no matter how strong his Sword Technique is, or how powerful his Sword Momentum, it would be difficult to trap and kill him.

Thus, assistance from a formation is needed.

As long as the opponent is forced to enter the formation voluntarily and cannot escape for a while, he is bound to die.

Of course, with Chen Ping’s strength, if he is determined not to enter the array and chooses to escape alone, crossing the dangerous peak and fleeing from the weak point of the military formation, no one can stop him.

As long as he is willing to abandon the old and young on Primordial Mountain, hundreds of people, and the lives of those friends and family, he could do so.

Jiang Wuji coldly looked at the figures on the mountain, secretly plotting in his heart. With his command, the soldiers already speeded up the ignition, thick smoke rose, and then, the firelight could be seen...

...

Chen Ping retreated to the mountain and found that Jiang Wuji did not follow.

He felt a slight regret in his heart.

After disengaging from the battle, in just seven or eight breaths, the [Brahma and I are One] Cultivation Technique could be used again.

He was originally planning to transfer his injuries, restore his body, and then give that old fool a hard blow when he pursued, but unfortunately, it wasn’t needed.

Standing on the hilltop, behind him rose a gigantic phantom. With a turn of his Heart Technique, countless tiny flowers and grasses sprouted on his body, transformed into flowing light and disappeared. The cracks in his internal organs and bones also mended simultaneously, letting out a long breath with bloody foam. With a glance towards the two figures leaping up the mountain not far away, a gleam of joy appeared in his eyes.

"Grandmaster, Master, did you succeed?"

Yes, this time’s raid... assassinating Jiang Yuandong to break the Cyan Wood Dragon Locking Array was not the goal.

Testing Jiang Wuji in battle was also not the purpose.

The real goal involved Grandmaster Sun Yun and Master Sima Rou.

Signifying an open stratagem while secretly passing through hidden avenues.

Using himself as bait, drawing hatred, diverting Jiang Wuji, creating opportunities for Sima Rou and others to raid the camp.

It wasn’t about killing, but to retrieve the Ancestral Master’s Secret Manual.

Critically, it was about retrieving one essential item.

"Here, check them all."

Sima Rou, of course, knew what Chen Ping needed most. She handed over the package, with a booklet with an orange cover on top, inscribed in exquisite small script.

[Bright King Purifying World Technique].

Chen Ping quickly picked up the book, hurriedly flipping through it, and after just a glance, joy filled his heart.

"Thank you, Master and Grandmaster, this is the book... The fire has already started below; time is of the essence. I must trouble everyone to protect me."

"Unless I, an old man, am dead, no one can disturb the Sect Leader’s cultivation." The deep look of worry in Sun Yun’s eyes was not apparent on his face. "Rest assured, it won’t burn us quickly, don’t worry."

This former Sect Leader adjusted his mindset swiftly.

It seems he has already understood many things. Once he let go, he truly let go.

Now, he truly regarded Chen Ping as his own junior disciple, placing all his hopes on him.

More than anyone, he understood how dangerous today was for the Primordial Sect?

Perhaps after today, the Earth would no longer have Primordial Sect, one of the Four Daoist Sects, removed from existence.

Yet, there was still a slim chance of hope during this perilous time.

Although his time going down the mountain to retrieve the book was extremely short, he clearly saw through this convenient junior disciple’s immense strength.

If during the battle at Wind Snow Cliff against Tang Lin’er nothing was revealed.

The fight against Grandmaster Jiang Wuji at the foot of the mountain was enough to be shocking.

During their clash, trees within a hundred zhang were pulverized, and the ground was flattened, forming a smooth arc-shaped pit.

Even such a late-stage Innate Expert like himself, close within ten zhang, might be killed by the aftermath.

Such majesty, people would believe it’s a duel between two Unity Realm Grandmasters.

Now, this convenient junior disciple was obviously eager to obtain the Secret Manual and advance further, and he fully understood the importance of it.

The only thing he did not understand was that although Chen Ping had reached the peak of the Innate level, he still wanted to break through. This must mean...

Thinking of that possibility, Sun Yun’s heart couldn’t help but pound wildly.

How many years has it been, almost a hundred, that no Grandmaster has emerged from the Primordial Sect?

After Grandmaster Granny Muu Yuanshang broke through to Grandmaster by relying on medication, she was the last echo of the Primordial Sect.

In the last thirty years, there wasn’t even a single disciple breaking through to the Primordial Golden Body Realm, leading to Sun Yun’s disheartening closure of the sect until death.

Today, however, he saw a glimmer of hope.

"Without breaking through to the True Gang Glazed Body, you’re already able to stand against Grandmaster Jiang Wuji for dozens of moves and retreat fully intact. If you were to truly achieve Grandmaster, just how powerful can you become?"

The Primordial Technique, renowned as the strongest at the same level, has always proven true.

The fifth-generation Grandmaster already demonstrated this, without any false words.

Thinking of this, Sun Yun could no longer control the stirring in his heart, with his sword in hand, his eyes like a hawk fixated on the mountain below, ignoring both the rising thick smoke and the increasing flames.

At this moment, he was even more dedicated than Han Xiaoru and Sima Rou.

...

The situation was urgent now, with the fire growing larger by the minute. Assuming just another half an hour, the fire would fully blaze, becoming difficult to extinguish.

At that point, the buildings on the mountain...

For one of the Four Daoist Sects to have its centuries-long legacy obliterated from this world.

Most troubling is that these elderly and young ones, especially those disciples not yet cultivated and the servants on the mountain, might not survive.

Although anxious, Chen Ping remained calm, silently reciting the Three Lights Divine Spell three times and opened the Bright King Purifying World Technique.

Just by silently reciting it three times, he comprehended its True Intent.

He closed his eyes in contemplation for a while, and upon reopening them, a new line of text had appeared on the Attribute Panel in his mind.

[Bright King Purifying World Technique] Entry.

"Combine..."

Chen Ping forcibly suppressed his emotional fluctuations, simultaneously operating both the Heavenly Yang Pure Heart Skill and the Great Sun Scorching Sun Skill, integrating the Bright King Purifying World Technique. A flash of brilliance in his eyes, his soul was greatly shaken, feeling as if something had both been added and taken away.

His eyes, like stars in the dark night, suddenly turned bright.

On the invisible panel before him appeared clearly the phrase "[Three Yang Heart-Burning Skill] Proficient."

"It’s near, just near, Jiang Wuji, wait for me."

Looking down the mountain, Chen Ping’s thoughts moved subtly.

The stars in the sky shook as a starbeam as thick as a water barrel plummeted, pouring into his body.
