Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 678 - 677: Stepping onto Huangzhou Road_2
As for talents, only girls around the age of eighteen or nineteen would believe in that.
"They all say that I've become entangled in that kind of karma. Even though I don't know what that karma is or what the connection might be, these past few days, I've been feeling restless and anxious. Perhaps that day is about to arrive," Chen Pingping said, his eyes narrowing.
"I need the help of the Wuji Sect—you, Zhuge Wushuang, Mo Wuwei, Wen Qingshan, He Yitian, Bai Yisheng, Scholar, Fairy... all of you," Chen Pingping stated seriously.
"Everyone?"
"Yes, including Qingfeng's lineage," he affirmed, his expression steely.
"Are you entering the Ancient Road?"
"Not just that."
"You? You're going into the Ancient City?" Hongxiu was astonished.
It is inevitable. I will sweep across the Ancient Road, overthrow the Ancient City, slay all the "Adults," and trample those so-called favored children of heaven underfoot, ruthlessly crushing them. Then, I will brand those defiant races with the mark of slavery and force them to join the battle across the Heavens.
HUH? Why am I thinking like this?
Chen Pingping was suddenly startled. My thoughts have unconsciously deviated. No, it shouldn't be like this; my ultimate goal should be Wen Yuqing. Next would be that girl Xiaoyu. Slaying Gods and sweeping through all the realms of the Heavens has nothing to do with me. Unless it truly does.
"This is too terrifying. I feel like I'm being controlled," Chen Pingping swallowed hard, visibly frightened. "You will help me, right?"
"..."
Can I just go back and retire now? Hongxiu found herself thinking.
After chatting for about ten minutes, although the topics were simple, when combined, they were anything but. For a moment, Hongxiu, the Sect Master, felt tremendous pressure.
「A few days later.」
Chen Pingping had made all the necessary arrangements, given numerous instructions, and decided to set out. He was heading for Huangzhou, following Zhang Ziyu's lead to seek Fate Energy and integrate it into the Six Tao Emperor Weapon, thereby boosting his own combat strength.
Furthermore...
Chen Pingping approached Lao Huang. "Now, there's a very important task that I need you to personally complete."
Lao Huang lifted its head, somewhat surprised. After all these years, it had never been given any important tasks. This was the first time it had seen Chen Pingping speak to it with such gravity.
"You are to go and protect Xiaoyu," Chen Pingping said.
"..."
Lao Huang shook its burly body. Indeed, this is important. I should've stuck with Xiaoyu from the start, it thought.
Chen Pingping extended a finger, Divine Brilliance swirling around it as he imprinted a message into Lao Huang's mind, adding a warning, "If anything happens to Xiaoyu, I'll break your legs when you return."
HUH! Junior Sister is Junior Sister. And what about me, this old ox? I have no status at all!
Despite its reluctance, Lao Huang turned and departed, speeding toward the Western Wilderness.
Next, Chen Pingping spoke to Zi Ji. "Stay in the Wuji Sect and cultivate diligently. You are not to go out without the Sect Master's order."
"Senior Brother!" Zi Ji protested, aggrieved.
"Pouting won't help; your Senior Sister is much better at that than you are," Chen Pingping glared at her, saying in annoyance, "I'm telling you to stay and cultivate in the Sect for your own good. Soon enough, you might not even have the chance to stay if you wanted to."
Zi Ji said nothing, though she sensed something. The place Senior Brother is going must be very dangerous, right? That's right! The enemies we face are growing stronger. I need to improve my cultivation. Otherwise, if Senior Brother is hunted down in the future, I'll only be able to watch helplessly.
Thinking it over, she came to terms with it.
「Several more days passed.」
The sun had just broken at dawn outside the Wuji Sect. On a small path, the slanting sunlight cast the long, elongated shadows of several people. Chen Pingping had set off on the road to Huangzhou. Accompanying him were Jiang Ni'er, Wang Xiaodao, Mao Qiu, Earth Chicken, and Eight Treasures Chicken.
As for why he didn't bring along Hei, the little black dog, the reason was simple: its presence was more valuable at the Sect. Besides, the System rewards Hei brought Chen Pingping were calculated by the day and had no other mode of increase. But Mao Qiu was different. It could devour and possessed infinite possibilities. The same was true for Earth Chicken; bloodline evolution could enhance its cultivation, and this trip to Huangzhou had to bring about a super upgrade, no matter what. As for the Eight Treasures Chicken, the poor thing started crying immediately upon hearing it had to be separated from Earth Chicken, wailing in desolation. Then there was the Emperor Spirit, that foolish creature; its presence was too conspicuous, and its nature too timid.
OH! Right, a few individuals from the Ancient Family also set off with them.
However, after witnessing Chen Pingping's "impoverished family" situation, this Son of the Fate Energy seemed to have become much more low-profile, his every word and action exuding humility. From time to time, when he glanced at Mao Qiu perched on Chen Pingping's shoulder, he shivered in fright.
A Devouring Sky Beast! Damn it… This creature emerged from the Chaotic Sea. And it's the only one, unique and irreplicable. Its identity and origins are too significant; even Sword Immortals would have to step aside.
Mr. Zhang naturally didn't dare act recklessly anymore.
They continued on their journey.
As they passed through the Ancient Country, the man who was once Crown Prince, and had now inherited the throne, watched Chen Pingping from afar. His chest heaved dramatically, and his breathing was somewhat hurried. His brows remained furrowed, revealing his deep concern. Only when Chen Pingping and his party were far away did Gu Luo finally sigh in relief and order, "Issue the command: no one is to provoke the disciples of the Wuji Sect."
Very soon, Chen Pingping passed through Star Sea. The former Great Elder immediately panicked, fearing that Chen Pingping had come to settle old scores. However, Chen Pingping simply gazed from a distance, lingering for a few minutes before hurriedly departing. The Great Elder of Star Sea wiped cold sweat from his brow and said in a trembling voice, "Issue the command: from now on, if you see disciples of the Wuji Sect, take a detour whenever possible. If any Great Opportunity arises, let them compete for it first."
A Saint Realm practitioner forging Emperor Weapons and slaying a Demon Emperor—this display of potential from Chen Pingping had already intimidated all the powers, minor and major, of the Southern Diaspora, including two super-powerful forces. As long as he was alive, it was widely believed that no one would dare provoke the Wuji Sect.
Mr. Zhang was also keenly aware of this. He realized that Chen Pingping seemed to be doing it intentionally, making his presence felt in certain regions to intimidate his enemies.
Thinking this, Mr. Zhang inhaled sharply. This Second Brother's assets are truly terrifying, as is his strength. He's merely at the Saint Realm, yet he has all the powers in the Southern Diaspora trembling in fear.
However... we're about to head to Huangzhou, and Huangzhou is my territory!
Mr. Zhang's confidence swelled at this thought, and he resolved to properly show off his skills to his Second Brother once they entered Huangzhou.
But he had one question he couldn't resolve. "Ping, you have Spiritual Medicine all over the back hill of the Wuji Sect. Are you sure there's nothing there that can cure Yue Wuxia?"
Chen Pingping answered seriously, "Certainly not."
Mr. Zhang: "…" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
He had another doubt. A few days ago at the Wuji Sect, I saw that Talented Alchemist, Gu Mang, create a living being through alchemy. That must mean he has reached Perfection as an Alchemist, right? Could an Alchemist of such a high level really not be able to concoct a Spirit Pill beyond the ninth rank? Is something amiss? He could even create a living being!
Despite this, seeing Chen Pingping's stern face, Mr. Zhang looked disappointed but didn't dare to ask further, reluctantly swallowing his questions.
