Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 714 - 713: Ping Saves Me

If Chen Pingping had the strength, never mind a single God Grid, even if it were a Great God from above the Heavens, he wouldn't blink an eye before agreeing.

Huh?

Seeing Chen Pingping's solemn face, his evident hesitation and internal struggle, Fate Energy then said, "You are Wenliang's disciple and also cultivate the Six Tao. And I can manifest the Six Tao..."

Haha! This guy. He's started playing the sentiment card.

Chen Pingping found it amusing and retorted, "You just said you could only manifest them, that you re-deduced them based on the traces left by Elder Wenliang. And... you also said you could only manifest five of the Tao."

"Did I say that?" Fate Energy feigned astonishment. "I didn't say that! Alright, I admit, I did indeed say it just now. But that was because I was testing you. It turns out you're even stronger than I imagined. Very good, I have high hopes for you."

Chen Pingping rolled his eyes.

"Young man, don't hesitate any longer. What lies before you is an unprecedented Great Opportunity. You must understand, I am the Fate Energy of the Nine Heavens. I perceive all things—cause and effect, life and death. I dominate everything in the Nine Heavens. If you can take me away from here, I will undoubtedly grant you endless opportunities..."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Charge in and cut down that entity!"

"Don't be afraid. With me here, I will lend you a helping hand..."

"Huh? Why aren't you speaking?" Fate Energy prattled on, "You must understand, you are Wenliang's disciple, also practicing the Six Tao of Reincarnation. And I am Wenliang's guide. To be precise, I am also your Elder..."

Chen Pingping's mouth twitched.

Fate Energy continued, "I have lived for countless eons, taking form from the void itself, guiding Wenliang on his path. And now... I am trapped here. You are the young cultivator I favor most, second only to Wenliang."

"How come I've heard that Elder Wenliang was the one who suppressed you?" Chen Pingping said.

"False..." Fate Energy explained. "Also, young man, why do you keep addressing Wenliang as 'Elder'?"

"Oh... it's a habit. I've always called my master 'Elder.' It sounds more respectful towards one's master and shows reverence for the Tao," Chen Pingping said sheepishly.

"I believe you. So, do you want to become the second Wenliang?" His Spiritual Intelligence was high; from the very beginning of his interaction with Chen Pingping, he had noted the use of the term "Elder."

He guessed Chen Pingping wasn't really Wenliang's disciple. As for how he cultivated the Six Tao, Fate Energy didn't care. All he needed was for Chen Pingping to cut down the God Grid, and then he would be saved.

However, Chen Pingping smiled. "I'm afraid I might be the third one, right?"

Fate Energy asked, "What makes you say that?"

Chen Pingping replied, "Isn't there also Zhang Ziyu? If I'm not mistaken."

Fate Energy was speechless.

Fuck! Upon the mere mention of that bastard, Fate Energy truly wanted to slap Zhang Ziyu to death.

When Zhang Ziyu was a child, he fell into a dry well and accidentally came here. This thrilled Fate Energy to no end—after so many years, a living person had finally entered this place.

But when he got a clear look at Zhang Ziyu's figure, he was utterly dumbfounded.

A little brat.

He had a naked butt and bare feet, and couldn't even speak clearly.

At that moment, Fate Energy just felt like dying.

What depressed him most was that Zhang Ziyu's talent for cultivation seemed... less than stellar. Although he was still young, as Fate Energy, he could judge through bones, meridians, and many other innate conditions.

Zhang Ziyu had poor aptitude, mediocre talent, and no comprehension whatsoever.

Such trash. It almost guaranteed his future achievements wouldn't be too high...

But, as he was the only one to arrive here in so many years, Fate Energy, after much internal struggle and hesitation, decided to bestow Fate Energy upon him.

Right! Exactly.

That's why Zhang Ziyu was so lucky.

With the Fate Energy of the Nine Heavens enveloping him, he encountered opportunities repeatedly. A pity... his aptitude was too poor. No matter how many opportunities he was given, his cultivation remained mediocre and obscure, never achieving true prominence.

Of course, that wasn't the main point.

The main point was, Zhang Ziyu never appeared again.

Fate Energy was so angry he was practically steaming. I bestowed upon you all kinds of Great Opportunities to help you grow, all to guide you to slay the God Grid! And you damn brat never showed up again!

"Eh!" Fate Energy sighed, his eyes blazing as he said, "That's not the point. The main thing is, I see the potential of a Great Emperor in you."

This? Chen Pingping was speechless.

He had said the same thing once, when he tricked an Elder from the Star Sea. He never imagined that today this fellow would use it to deceive him.

Fate Energy continued, "You are filled with Divine Radiance, and the Great Tao converges within you. Your bones, bloodline, Dantian, and Sea of Consciousness all reveal 'Tao marks.' And your physical vitality is dozens, even hundreds of times greater than your peers. It demonstrates that you truly have the potential of a Great Emperor. I'll make a bold guess: within a hundred years, you will surely achieve Tao Verification and become a Great Emperor."

Chen Pingping couldn't help but laugh. "You're right. So... if I'm going to achieve Tao Verification and become a Great Emperor within a hundred years, why would I need you?"

COUGH COUGH!

Fate Energy hurriedly explained, "That's just a probability. And although it's a high probability, with my assistance, you might not even need a hundred years. Moreover, your achievements will certainly far exceed merely reaching the Emperor Realm."

"I believe you," Chen Pingping nodded.

"Go! Charge in and cut down that entity... Eh?" Suddenly, Fate Energy seemed to have sensed something, and he instinctively looked towards a certain direction.

There, a figure was rapidly approaching.

It was Zhang Ziyu.

As he ran, he yelled, "Murder! Murder! Help me!"

Fate Energy was speechless.

Chen Pingping was speechless.

AAAAHHH!

Zhang Ziyu saw two figures from a distance and sped up considerably. Only when he got closer did he recognize Ping. He sobbed, then burst into a howling cry, "Ping, save me!"

Damn! It's him! Fate Energy's face darkened, and he seethed with indignation.

He entered this place in his youth and received my blessing, only to... never return!

"Speak properly. Who's trying to kill you?" Chen Pingping glared at him.

"Sword Immortal... Fuck! I suspect Sword Immortal has been demonized," Zhang Ziyu stopped crying and slowly recounted his experience.

After falling into the well, he had been separated from Chen Pingping.

Later, as he was walking, he came across a wisp of the Sword Immortal's Divine Sense. Zhang Ziyu immediately got excited, yelling and running over to offer a warm greeting.

But when the Sword Immortal saw him, he raised his hand and slashed down with his sword, seemingly enraged, declaring, "I'm going to slay you!"

Zhang Ziyu was dumbfounded.

"After so many years of cultivation, you still possess Opening Heaven Sword Intent within you, yet you fail to comprehend it. Your cultivation level is still only at the Stupid Saint Realm. With the foundation I've given you, you don't even dare to act when facing a mere descendant of the Divine Clan?" The Sword Immortal's face alternated between ashen and flushed with anger.

He, the great Human Sword Immortal, had faced Gods many times! In one era, he had even come close to slaying the Order God... He had quelled countless dark unrests and averted catastrophes for the Human Clan, time and time again. To the Human Clan, he was a supreme figure, a veritable god! His grand deeds were so numerous that hundreds of books could not possibly record them all. He was solemn. He was sacred. His status was revered even more highly than that of the Human Emperor. Regrettably, he had taken on a disciple like Zhang Ziyu, that good-for-nothing. Mediocre aptitude was one thing, but he had no talent to speak of, and no comprehension ability whatsoever... Yet, Zhang Ziyu had come to him a few times. For the sake of Zhang Ziyu's cultivation, he had truly... compromised again and again! He had given him a complete legacy, the Opening Heaven Sword Intent, Divine Weapons, and a solid foundation... Fearing Zhang Ziyu would be killed, he had secretly given him powerful protective armor. Fearing Zhang Ziyu would be deceived by that Fate Energy, he had even cut off that path. But Zhang Ziyu was just too disappointing! After so many years of cultivation, he was still stuck in the Stupid Saint Realm. He hadn't learned a single thing from the Sword Immortal's legacy, let alone grasp the Opening Heaven Sword Intent! That was the very essence of his legacy! He recalled the bygone era when he had relied on the Opening Heaven Sword Intent to slay Gods, exterminate the Divine Clan, and quell the dark unrest for the Human Clan. How could the style change so completely when it came to Zhang Ziyu? Armed with his foundational gifts, the boy didn't even dare to make a move against a minor member of the Divine Clan. Preposterous!

The more the Sword Immortal thought about it, the angrier he became.
