Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 834 - 833: News of Ling Qingyao
Within the rugged Wilderness Forest, Shangguan Lingyu leaned against a large tree.
She watched Xu Ping’an lay down one after another of concealment enchantments, her face filled with confusion.
Why would this guy want to save her? Wasn’t he always very hostile towards her?
Xu Ping’an saw the look in Shangguan Lingyu’s eyes and instantly understood what she was thinking, smiled, and said, "No need to look at me that way. I merely found you pitiable and happened to be passing by, so I lent a hand."
"No matter the reason, thank you," Shangguan Lingyu responded.
"Is your current form a clone?" Xu Ping’an asked.
"Yes, but also not exactly. The cultivation technique I practice is rather special. I have two bodies, both of which can be considered the main body," Shangguan Lingyu replied.
"Two bodies? Then if I did something to this body of yours, would the other body sense it?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.
Shangguan Lingyu frowned, feeling that there was something odd about this question.
Nevertheless, she answered, "There is some sensation, but it’s not too intense. Whether it’s the main body or the secondary, both have their own experiences and thoughts, but there is some level of connection."
"I see," Xu Ping’an nodded.
It seemed that the cultivation technique Shangguan Lingyu practiced was an extremely unusual method.
One body walked his path, while the fate of the other was unknown.
In the future, the two bodies might merge into one, and her strength could significantly increase at that time.
"Why did they want to snatch your Reincarnation List?" Xu Ping’an continued to inquire.
"I’m not sure about that, but I do know there must be a secret within the Reincarnation List. That’s why I bid for it earlier on. I just didn’t expect those from the Proud Sea Sect to actually try to snatch it," Shangguan Lingyu spoke up.
"Secrets… Can I take a look at the Reincarnation List?" Xu Ping’an asked.
"Sure," Shangguan Lingyu handed the Reincarnation List to Xu Ping’an.
As Xu Ping’an received the Reincarnation List, he felt a powerful force lock onto him.
Had he been merely a Soul Body right now, he probably would have been instantly absorbed into it.
"Such domineering power, there must be potent Dao Laws contained within to lock onto my soul," Xu Ping’an said curiously.
"That should be the case. How the creator of the Reincarnation List achieved this, I do not know. But anyone absorbed into it, a talented individual, would never escape. It allows one to evade the reincarnation of the Sixth Realms; the Reincarnation List itself is very extraordinary," Shangguan Lingyu stated.
Xu Ping’an nodded.
Perhaps the Reincarnation List truly contained many secrets.
Xu Ping’an tried to open the list, but found himself unable to do so.

He felt a strong repulsive force coming from the list, preventing him from opening it.
With no alternative, Xu Ping’an had to give up and returned the Reincarnation List to Shangguan Lingyu.
"Keep the Reincarnation List safe for now. I might need to borrow it again in the future," Xu Ping’an said.
He felt the Reincarnation List would be very useful to him, though he was not yet clear on its specific uses.
"Alright, consider this as returning the favor for saving my life," Shangguan Lingyu replied.
Xu Ping’an nodded and looked at the weakened Shangguan Lingyu, asking, "How are your injuries, do you need my help?"
"No need, I can recover on my own," Shangguan Lingyu shook her head.
Afterward, she began to activate her Healing Technique. It must be said that Shangguan Lingyu’s Healing Technique was indeed very powerful.
After taking an Elixir and adjusting for an Hour, Shangguan Lingyu’s injuries had nearly healed.
However, restoring her Cultivation to its Peak state would still need some time.
"Thank you for protecting me," Shangguan Lingyu said to Xu Ping’an, who was seated nearby.
She knew that Xu Ping’an stayed there to protect her while she healed.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible for her to recover so peacefully in the Wilderness Forest.
Knowing that there were some powerful Demon Beasts that might locate her through the scent of blood,
without Xu Ping’an’s deterrence and cover, her situation would have been very dangerous.
"I told you, no need to thank me. I didn’t help you for nothing," Xu Ping’an responded with a smile.
"Then what do you need me to do?" Shangguan Lingyu asked.
"A piece of information, a definitive piece of information. Tell me Ling Qingyao’s true level of Cultivation," Xu Ping’an requested.
Shangguan Lingyu’s expression suddenly became very serious.
She had not expected Xu Ping’an to ask for this condition.
"Can we change the condition?" Shangguan Lingyu inquired.
"No," Xu Ping’an flatly refused.
"Fine, I’ll tell you. My master has reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor Realm, just one step away from becoming a god," Shangguan Lingyu replied.
"Immortal Emperor Realm peak?" Xu Ping’an’s expression also turned solemn.
He hadn’t expected Ling Qingyao to have reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, let alone that she had reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
It seemed she had truly found a way to break through the Immortal Emperor Realm.
"Alright, I’ve answered your question. I don’t owe you anything now," Shangguan Lingyu declared.
"Okay, we’ll meet again if fate allows it," Xu Ping’an said.
After finishing his words, Xu Ping’an directly used the Artefact Divine Temple to teleport back.
Shangguan Lingyu watched as Xu Ping’an disappeared into thin air, a hint of confusion flickering in her eyes.
However, she soon understood what had happened.
Inside the Artefact Divine Temple, Xu Ping’an appeared out of nowhere, his expression becoming extremely grim.
Ling Qingyao was actually at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
He had thought that with his current level of Cultivation, he would no longer fear Ling Qingyao. Still, it seemed there was still a significant gap between them.
And if Ling Qingyao could reach the Immortal Emperor Realm, did that mean there was no way for others?
What about the Ancient powers? Perhaps some Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses had survived among them.
Now that the Ancient Sects were awakening, these Immortal Emperor Realm experts would eventually emerge.
"I still need to work hard to improve my Cultivation. My realm is too low right now," Xu Ping’an said to himself.
"Well done, you’ve completed the sixth task so quickly. There are three tasks left. If you can complete them all, you will be the successor of our Artifact Divine Sect," the elder said with a smile.
Xu Ping’an nodded and then headed towards the seventh Stele.
The matter of Ling Qingyao had added considerable pressure on him, and he needed to increase his Cultivation quickly.
Soon, he began the task of the seventh Stele.
The content of the task was to open the first layer of the Thousand Mechanism Pagoda.
So Xu Ping’an began to study the Thousand Mechanism Pagoda.
It must be said, the Thousand Mechanism Pagoda was extremely profound.
After studying for a long while, Xu Ping’an still had no idea how to open the first layer of the Thousand Mechanism Pagoda.
This gave him a headache, but fortunately, there was a three-day deadline for the task.
