Chapter 815: Chapter 629 Indestructible Divine Skills + Chapter 630 Shadow Mission_3
Bai He had cultivated some peculiar cultivation technique that allowed him to perceive the ebb and flow of fortune between the two sides.
For a brief moment.
He even saw the fortune surrounding Yue Chengtian significantly weaken, with a gray-black mist faintly swirling between his brows.
But shortly after, it returned to equilibrium.
"You didn’t see wrong. After all, this man belongs to the general family of the Yue clan and is one of its three Divine Generals. Naturally, they wouldn’t neglect preparations to avoid exhausting their lifespan entirely. Cultivating Evil Fortitude Qi harms the body—this is something even we know, so they must have made preparations for that. Surely, he has plenty of Nourishing and Vitalizing elixirs on hand..."
With that explained, it made perfect sense.
The foundation of their faction was not deep, originating in the grassroots. They lacked access to certain resources, but that didn’t mean such resources didn’t exist.
The Yue family is wealthy and powerful. They likely have ways to acquire life-extending medicines.
Even if they couldn’t obtain such resources themselves, as prominent generals of the Imperial Court having achieved countless extraordinary merits, the court would not be stingy with rewards, always providing treasures and resources.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Yue Chengtian, who originally had a lifespan of only 120 years, would have rapidly diminished his lifespan from cultivating Evil Fortitude Spirits. If his natural lifespan were reduced to seventy or eighty years, one still couldn’t calculate based on him having only forty years left.
With the addition of those life-extending Precious Medicines, who knows how much longer he could drag out his life?
This concern.
By the second day’s battle between the two forces, it was thoroughly confirmed.
When Zhou Ping’an clashed with Yue Chengtian in yet another fierce battle, he discovered that Yue Chengtian still maintained his so-called "Water Curtain Heavenly Flower" divine skill, which seemed impregnable, no matter how he tried to breach it.
Moreover, Yue Chengtian’s previously gray-white hair had returned to jet black.
The same was true on the third day.
Even when Zhou Ping’an killed Yue Jixian and Yue Jizong on the battlefield, Yue Chengtian didn’t so much as twitch an eyebrow—he merely treated Zhou Ping’an as an irreconcilable enemy, a traitorous rebel, relentlessly hunting him down with lethal intent.
The bad news was.
Zhou Ping’an couldn’t break through Yue Chengtian’s defenses no matter what he tried.
The good news was.
The past few days had seen morale soar, forcing the Northern Garrison into mere defensive maneuvers, unable even to leave their encampment.
The situation was favorable overall.
"But this isn’t a sustainable strategy."
Standing atop the city walls, Zhou Ping’an gazed into the distance at the entrenched encampment of the Northern Garrison, a sudden, inexplicable sense of urgency gripping his heart.
The opposing side still had fifty thousand soldiers fit for battle.
At this moment, they sought not to achieve new feats but merely to avoid making critical errors.
While the Northern Garrison had ceased their attempts to forcibly attack Pinghu City, their strategy to keep Zhou Ping’an locked in place clearly had broader implications.
’According to the Traveling Envoy, at most a month from now, three waves of Spirit Tide will arrive. At that time, Divine Martial Realm experts from various families and sects will emerge en masse... The Imperial Court has already turned its focus here.’
’If I cannot swiftly defeat the Northern Garrison, conquer Yunzhou, and gather momentum to refine the True Martial Dharma form, the situation will become exceedingly precarious.’
But it was not merely about trouble with the situation.
Such opponents, were just two of them to emerge, could completely ensnare him; he risked falling victim to a disastrous fate.
"If only my strength were even slightly greater, enough to shatter this so-called impenetrable turtle shell and break this divine skill, the path ahead would be clear."
Zhou Ping’an began mentally tallying the cards he still had left.
On the modern world’s side, dragging time for cultivation was an impractical option. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The Black Demon Fox General was now lured into this world’s Demon World. Once Zhou Ping’an returned to the modern world, the Demon Fox would likely follow.
Within only seven or eight hours, the Demon Fox could reappear right before him.
If he couldn’t fully overpower an already weakened Divine General who cultivated merely Evil Fortitude divine skills, a direct confrontation with an authentic Divine Martial Demon General would surely result in severe losses.
At that point, he would face death or injury with no hope of escape.
Through the Perceptive Ability of the Broken Mirror, no matter where he fled, he would still be tracked down.
Thus, returning to the modern world was not an option.
As for entering the Demon Subduing Trial, which was another avenue for quickly improving his realm, having only recently returned from successfully clearing the trial, his cultivation level and power had yet to undergo substantive changes. Recklessly inviting Fang Sheng and the others into the trial would be tantamount to throwing their lives away.
There was clarity in his mind now.
Entering the Demon Subduing Trial meant encountering increasingly difficult challenges.
The enemies he faced in each subsequent trial grew progressively stronger.
He even suspected that the next stage might involve battling a considerable number of Divine Martial Realm foes.
Moreover, there would be no geographical advantage, like the Hidden Dragon Formation, on his side.
Entering now with his current level of strength might mean failing to defeat even a single enemy, possibly leading to an easily squandered life.
"This leaves me with no choice but to take on a mission."
With a sigh, Zhou Ping’an reflected on the fact that he still needed six Heavenly Star Stones.
Once he acquired enough Heavenly Star Stones, he could open six orifices simultaneously. With all nine of the Heavenly Origin Nine Orifices activated, his basic physique strength would be multiplied by 512 times.
At that point, shattering this accursed turtle shell would no longer be a feat beyond his reach.
Decision made.
Zhou Ping’an merely instructed his troops to stay vigilant against possible nighttime assaults on the city. Claiming he had reached an insight, he announced his intent to retreat into seclusion.
After notifying Green Lady, he returned to the Quiet Room, lit the Soul Settling Incense, and retrieved the Jade Tablet.
He once again met the Traveling Envoy, whose shrewd and gaunt face still bore an expression of eagerness: "Mr. Nine, have you made up your mind? If you are ready to accept this mission, I can provide some assistance by securing free round-trip teleportation for you."
"Oh, is the Shadow Pavilion responsible for transporting between the two worlds? That would be excellent. However, I do have a question—what do the relative time flows between the two worlds look like?"
This point was something he could not leave unexamined.
If the two worlds shared the same flow of time.
Once he departed to the other realm, should the mission be slightly delayed, he might miss all three waves of Spirit Tide here—a scenario that would truly spell disaster.
"You needn’t worry about this. Any complete world has its own spacetime protective layer, circulating untouched unless disturbed. To put it simply, the spaces and times of the two worlds are independent. When you complete your task in the other world, you can pinpoint your return back to your original spacetime node."
"Very well, that’s reassuring. I’ll need detailed information."
After some thought, Zhou Ping’an agreed.
