Chapter 844: Chapter 651 Spirit Body Perfection + Chapter 652 Picking Stars and Moon_3
If it truly comes down to one attacking and one defending, with two Divine Generals who have cultivated Evil Spirit Communication and forged their divine skills joining forces to strike, judging by Zhou Ping’an’s abilities demonstrated recently, there’s indeed no certainty he could hold his ground.
But now, everything is different.
"Your sense is correct. This is indeed a form of divine skill. I call it Picking Stars and Moon. Its essence lies in sheer, overwhelming power."
"Power? Has my husband also cultivated Evil Spirit Communication? This is fantastic news! We can now perhaps overtake Yue Chengtian’s turtle shell and crush his hundred-thousand-strong army before Xiao Yuanfang arrives."
The Green Lady exclaimed fiercely.
Her eyes brimmed with joy.
"No, we still need to wait for Governor Xiao to arrive. Wait for their forces to merge as one, and then annihilate the enemy in one blow."
Zhou Ping’an shook his head.
"Husband intends for a single decisive battle to determine the fate of Yunzhou." The Green Lady immediately grasped Zhou Ping’an’s intention.
Her eyes lit up.
"Precisely. If we were to destroy Yue Chengtian’s Divine General divine skills now and defeat the Northern Garrison’s hundred-thousand soldiers, while it’s a victory, the outcome doesn’t ensure massive gains. We’d then need to guard against Xiao Yuanfang retreating in due course or potentially calling for reinforcements in turn. The various prefectures and counties of Yunzhou would still have sources of dependence, and they wouldn’t surrender simply out of fear.
But if one battle breaks Yue Chengtian and Xiao Yuanfang, sweeping aside Yunzhou’s top combat powers, the world would be shaken instantly. Yunzhou would have no force left that could dare block the advance of my army. Even the Pei Family would have no choice but to throw open their doors and surrender."
"Exactly right. This way, we can use this battle not only to crush Yue Chengtian and Xiao Yuanfang but also to eliminate all selfish and wavering intentions within the Cloud Water Sect, leaving the Grandmasters with no alternative."
Zhou Ping’an nodded with a smile.
The Cloud Water Sect reigns as a colossal presence in Yunzhou, making it inherently difficult to manage.
After all, Zhou Ping’an and Lin Huaiyu are disciples of the Cloud Water Sect and have many sect brothers and sisters serving under them. It’s hardly acceptable to swing the blade at one’s own sect.
It isn’t impossible, but doing so would tarnish one’s reputation.
No matter the world or era, one must adhere to certain principles.
To drink water without forgetting the one who dug the well—human ties weigh heavier than material interests.
This is determined by Zhou Ping’an’s character.
In such circumstances, the optimal course of action is deterrence.
As long as his strength is unparalleled, regardless of which side the elders of the Cloud Water Sect planned to support initially, in the end, they would have no choice but to bow down and support Zhou Ping’an.
This is how wars can be won without battle.
Using power to subdue.
"In this way, with two provinces under control, cultivation efficiency would multiply further. As long as the third Spirit Tide doesn’t arrive, wouldn’t we be able to..."
As the Green Lady reached this thought, her breathing grew quicker.
In the past, she might have entertained the idea that the Ping’an Army could seize control of a single province and withstand sieges from all directions.
She might have also envisaged a scenario where, upon encountering an overwhelmingly formidable enemy, they could manage a full retreat. But the one thing she had never imagined was that their army might truly stand a chance at suppressing all resistance, overthrowing the Great Yu, and unifying the nation.
And this realization had been evident from the fact that Zhou Ping’an had not dared to publicly raise a banner of rebellion.
Because to claim the world, it’s the Four Immortals Sect, the Three Buddha Sect, the Three Demon Paths, and the Divine Generals of the Imperial Court who loom as insurmountable obstacles.
The early advantages they obtained would immediately dissipate once the third Spirit Tide descended.
Being able to preserve their existence would already be a remarkable feat.
But now, the situation was entirely different.
They now had the opportunity to race against time, claiming as much territory as possible and recruiting more World Families and sects.
By that time, as their forces snowballed in growth, when the Spirit Tide begins, the enemy might not even have the strength to surpass them. The grand tides of history could shift in an instant—overturning the heavens and remaking the earth would be but a matter of mere moments.
The Green Lady’s heart raced for a while, but then worry crept in: "Although Husband is mighty, if he reveals ambitions to devour the world entirely, it might invite the masses to retaliate together. I’ve heard that divine skills cultivated through Evil Spirit Communication severely harm the body. I fear..."
"You need not worry. What I have cultivated is not any fake divine skill of Evil Spirit Communication. When wielded with full power, it does not harm the body, nor does it drain lifespan like Yue Chengtian and those others."
Other Divine Generals might not dare engage in successive battles, unable to recover adequately.
Their physical constitution is weak and incapable of bearing the weight of their divine skills, but Zhou Ping’an is different.
The divine skill he has cultivated came into being naturally after completing the Heavenly Origin Nine Orifices and reaching the perfection of the celestial stars.
The Nine Luminaries Nine Acupoints encompass the Sun Radiance, Moon Radiance, Fire Radiance, Water Radiance, Wood Radiance, Golden Brightness, Earth Radiance, Rahu, and Ketu. The Nine Luminaries Stars interconnect, generating a tenth star, converging in his offensive maneuvers to manifest the divine skill Picking Stars and Moon.
This divine skill harmonizes the Five Yin Yang Elements, aggregates the power of the void’s spiritual essence, and condenses the essence of chaos, akin to wielding an actual star to suppress foes. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Moreover, unlike other Divine Generals, this skill doesn’t damage the body or spirit—it merely consumes the Star Element of the Nine Orifices.
And the Star Light Primordial Power, once expended, can immediately replenish itself from the boundless void.
With the completion of the Heavenly Origin Nine Orifices, Star Elements become infinite—consumed instantly, absorbed instantly, no longer requiring the slow accumulation associated with its initial cultivation.
This grants Zhou Ping’an unparalleled stamina during extended campaigns.
He now possesses the capital to traverse and contend across the entire nation.
Under such circumstances, as long as there is no rival capable of overpowering his absolute strength, numbers mean nothing—even if countless forces were to besiege him.
Everything is ready; all that’s left is the eastern wind.
"Let us hope Governor Xiao prioritizes the nation’s interests and hastens his pace."
Gazing towards the dots of firelight in Yue Chengtian’s northern encampment, Zhou Ping’an spoke calmly.
He could hardly wait any longer.
