210: Chapter 83: Control the Overall Situation [Third Update | Large Cup | Request for Votes] 210: Chapter 83: Control the Overall Situation [Third Update | Large Cup | Request for Votes] Li Ping’an’s statement not only infuriated Xuntian Xu but also left the person in question, Xu Sheng, full of bewilderment.

Xu Sheng: Have I passed on the spirit-attachment secret technique to him?

However, before the elder Xu Sheng could speak, Li Ping’an had already started reciting several incomplete verses.

No one else knew;

At that moment, in the spirit platform of Li Ping’an, the Artifact Spirit of the Myriad Manifestation Chart transformed into specks of light, it spoke a line, and Li Ping’an recited a line.

“Summon stars and chase the moon, neighbor the water deity, swallow fire and solidify gold, forge divinity and create spirits.”

“The spirit of objects, sensed becomes solid, not sensed remains void, the void and solid illusion the real.”

“Manifest the truth of the path, carry the divinity, the Artifact Spirit in harmony, creation births life…”

Having recited a portion of the incantation, Li Ping’an’s Primordial Soul made a hand gesture, and the Artifact Spirit of the elderly figure returned to Li Ping’an’s Primordial Soul.

Li Ping’an looked towards Xuntian Xu, who was now frowning deeply, and said with a smile:

“Perhaps others do not recognize this scripture, but you should be aware of it, right?

“It’s the artifact refining secret technique of the Ancient Heavenly Court, the Devouring Artifacts Incantation, which does not harm living beings but destroys Spiritual Treasures instead.

It’s used to nurture spirits with spirits.

“For your axe to possess such might, it must have devoured more than ten spiritual treasures of decent rank, right?

Their spirits are already worn and exhausted.

Although it has spirit and light, it can longer be considered a true Spiritual Treasure.

“Fellow Daoist, you have fallen into demonhood on the path of Artifact Refining.”

Xuntian Xu frowned deeply and said coldly, “The secret techniques I found in a life-threatening exploration of a relic, I never expected to hear from the mouth of a mere disciple.

It seems my father really did pass on to you what he never taught me.”

Li Ping’an took two steps forward with a smile.

Suddenly, a flash of Ice Blue Immortal Light passed by, and Qing Su appeared before him.

Her raven hair and skirt fluttered off to the side, her eyes full of caution, she said softly:

“He’s very dangerous.”

“Master,” Li Ping’an said with a smile, “please return to your seat.

Your disciple can handle such a matter.

With so many Immortals seated here, even if he were to take your disciple hostage, where could he escape to?”

Qing Su nodded slightly without insisting further, and her figure flashed back to her own seat where she sat down peacefully.

Li Ping’an gave a cupped fist salute to Xu Sheng, but Elder Linghua had already started to communicate with Xu Sheng telepathically.

Xu Sheng frowned deeply, his eyes full of complex light, yet he only sighed and said, “Ping’an, this has nothing to do with you.

The things I’ve taught you are only because I saw that you had an exceptional mind and understanding—you don’t need to concern yourself with my Xu family’s matters.”

Li Ping’an responded with a smile: “Senior, you have advised me many times, and now someone is offending you using the method of Artifact Refining.

How could I sit idly by?

My involvement is due to respect for you, not because of this selfish and impolite wretch.”

“Well said!”

The Linyuan Master threw down his Longsword, cursing indignantly.

Li Ping’an gave a cupped fist salute to the Linyuan Master, then turned his head towards Xuntian Xu and said indifferently:

“Although I don’t know what happened, after the confrontation between the two of you just now, and the reminder from my Wanyun Sect’s elder, I can guess roughly what occurred.

“About a thousand years ago, Fellow Daoist fathered a child with the daughter of Sect Leader Linyuan, and for some reason, the child died young.

You asked the Immortal Xu Sheng to save him, but Immortal Xu Sheng followed the rules of Artifact Refiners and did not intervene.

“What you call ‘saving’ is in fact to resurrect your child’s residual soul.

“The spirit-attachment technique is an evil artifact refining technique from the Ancient Heavenly Court.

It absorbs the souls of living beings and injects them into Immortal Treasures, refining them into evil artifacts; the most notorious of these is the Lu-Witch Sword, which absorbed the souls of billions from the Human Race.

“In order to save your offspring…”

“Shut up!” Xuntian Xu glared at Li Ping’an furiously, “I have never harmed another living being!”

Li Ping’an remained unaffected, slowly pacing but intentionally getting closer and closer to Xuntian Xu.

He continued to say:

“Our Human Race’s Artifact Refiners consider the spirit-attachment technique taboo because it is too cruel.

In your desperation, you thought of this method to let your child’s residual soul enter a treasure.

“Just now, Elder Xu Sheng mentioned a term — ‘refining death into life.’

“Thus, I can boldly guess that you must have expended a massive amount of heart and energy to refine two puppets that almost perfectly resemble the real thing.

“I have heard before that the Yuan Sect has a secret technique to refine Spiritual Treasure puppets that are almost indistinguishable from normal people and possess combat power close to that of a Primordial Immortal.

“Now you have everything ready, both body and residual soul, all you’re missing is the spirit-attachment method, right?”

Xuntian Xu’s eyes flashed like lightning as he said forcefully: “You have said so much, are you willing to give up the spirit-attachment technique?

I am willing to exchange a great treasure for it!”

Li Ping’an laughed and said, “Refining death into life will incur divine punishment, do you truly wish to bear such a punishment?”

“Hahaha!”

Xuntian Xu laughed manically, glanced at his father with closed eyes, turned to look at the Immortals around, and said coldly:

“Divine punishment?

“Even if I have to pierce through the heavens, so what if I can save them?

“Very well,” Li Ping’an said, “since the matter of Forge-Heaven Gate was instigated by you, let’s settle this issue first before we discuss whether to give you the mystery of spirit attachment.”

Xuntian Xu clenched his fists tightly, and declared loudly: “I have already bested my father, and he should rightfully give me the secret of spirit attachment!”

“You call this winning?”

Li Ping’an clicked his tongue:

“I see you as a man who can shoulder responsibilities, even if you’re a bit naive, only knowing self-satisfaction without understanding how to repay others for their gifts to you.

“Was this axe made using standard Artifact Refining methods?

“If so, my Wanyun Sect would also like to have a word.”

Li Dazhi immediately said: “If this was won using such cheating methods, my Wanyun Sect will be the first to object!”

“Yes!”

“Indeed!”

The Immortals of the Wanyun Sect all spoke out in agreement.
