Chapter 228: Chapter 198: Return to the Different World, Impermanence Completion

’At this moment, I might be able to dominate a local battlefield with my extremely tough body and powerful sword techniques, holding a great advantage...’

’But to say there is nothing that could threaten me, would be a joke.’

’Even if we don’t mention those high-powered, high-yield bombs, facing unknown cutting-edge individual weapons, I should be extra cautious to prevent an unexpected failure.’

’Apart from formidable weapons, genetic modification technology is also something to guard against.’

’The speed of the Blood Eagle has directly broken the sound barrier; clearly, it is one of its abilities.’

’The ferocious beasts in the wild are beginning to evolve all kinds of strange and unique abilities. Each has its own cunning; one must never underestimate the people of the world.’

After quietly reminding himself,

Zhou Ping’an glanced at the Wishful Heartforce Silk Threads in his mind.

He decided to elevate the "Life and Death Impermanence Needle Technique" to its final level.

The Seventh Level - Life and Death Realm.

Through the cultivation of the Tidal Breathing Technique, as well as practicing the Wave Stacking and Wave Subduing Blade Technique, Zhou Ping’an knew that once a cultivation technique is perfected, it would grant a unique ability.

Just like the Wave Subduing Blade Technique, after cultivating to the ninth rotation, it generates an "indestructible" ability.

Unless it’s a force that’s one or two levels higher, this kind of sword technique that leverages the force to deflect attacks is completely invulnerable.

’There’s only others being hit by me, not me being hit by others.’

[Life and Death Unpredictable Needle] would naturally do the same.

Completion brings transformation.

In Zhou Ping’an’s view, the level of the Life and Death Unpredictable Needle is actually higher than the Wave Subduing Blade Technique.

The difficulty of practicing it also surpasses that of the Wave Subduing Blade Art.

Of course, that’s not to say that this needle technique has a stronger attack power than the sword technique, but rather that their main focus is different.

This needle technique specializes in the application of Life and Death Energies.

Its primary purpose is to heal, with killing as a secondary function.

In terms of purpose, it’s very high-end.

Whereas the Wave Subduing Blade Technique excels in the transformation and unity of hardness and softness,

It doesn’t explore the laws of Life and Death Energies as profoundly.

Therefore, Zhou Ping’an still values this needle technique, which isn’t too outstanding in terms of combat ability.

He hadn’t spent a vast amount of Wish Power Threads to enhance it before because he wasn’t injured and didn’t need to use any sophisticated methods for the time being.

In general cases, for healing diseases and saving people, the Sixth Level was already more than enough.

But now, he received some damage to his shoulder and arm which couldn’t be quickly repaired.

He felt a faint sense of insecurity.

’Let’s see, after raising it to the Seventh Level - Life and Death Realm, what kind of unique ability will it produce, and can it solve my current problem?’

As soon as he thought about it, he took action.

Zhou Ping’an’s thoughts moved.

The Karma Fire Red Lotus in his mind slowly began to rotate, its flames rising.

Innumerable Mind Wish Power Silk Threads were thrown into it, turning into kindling.

For a moment, time seemed to stretch infinitely.

In front of Zhou Ping’an’s eyes appeared the creation and perfection of the "Life and Death Impermanence Needle Technique"...

All sorts of methods of application were presented one by one deep in his heart.

Most astonishing of all, there was a moment when Zhou Ping’an even saw a mighty and turbid yellow river, a bridge, a platform, a gate...

’What is this...’

Zhou Ping’an suddenly awoke, six vortex illusions appearing in his eyes, slowly spinning for a while before disappearing into his pupils.

Coming back to his senses,

he found that his hard-accumulated Mind Wish Power Silk Threads had dwindled to just over eight thousand.

Looking at the time, only two hours had passed.

Just now, the speed of burning the Wish Power Threads was much faster than before.

Time in his thoughts stretched infinitely, while the actual time passed was not long.

’What were those six vortices?

Just one glance and my Red Lotus Visualization Technique started to lose control and disperse, pulling me out of my settled state.’

’Could it be that the Lishan Sect can also be linked to the Demonic Sect in some way?’

Thinking of some secrets he heard from Lin Huaiyu, in addition to Karma Fire Red Lotus and Prison Suppressing Demon Subjugation, the Demonic Sect had another method called the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

’Meditating on the "Life and Death Impermanence Needle Technique" and suddenly seeing six terrifying vortices, it seems impossible to separate them from the Six Paths Reincarnation Sect.’

’Could it be that I am naturally fated with cultivating demonic arts?

I’ve more or less cultivated through all the Demonic Sect’s methods.’

At this thought, Zhou Ping’an felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

However, after another thought,

Whether it is the Daoist Sect, the Demonic path, or the Buddha Sect, no matter which sect or which cultivation technique it belongs to, as long as it is of use to me, it is a good cultivation technique.

Maintaining an unbiased heart,

What does it matter what cultivation technique I practice?

He laughed softly, his mind becoming peaceful and serene, setting aside the strange visions he had inadvertently seen earlier, and carefully inspecting the progress of his ’Life and Death Impermanence Needle Technique.’

After spending more than sixty thousand Mind Wish Power Silk Threads and fully contemplating this needle technique, he finally achieved perfection.

The Seventh Level, as expected, produced a strange ability.

Zhou Ping’an extended two fingers, slowly bringing them together like the Buddha pinching a flower.

At the fingertips, a needle’s glow as fine as a hair was spontaneously generated from nothing.

From the imaginary to the real.

He flicked his finger lightly,

The needle glow silently pierced through the air, shot out of the window, and landed on a rose bush thirty meters away.

The bush trembled slightly,

And a shower of starlight threads enveloped a space of half a foot.

Three purple-red roses trembled violently as if they had taken a Ten-Perfect Tonic Pill, sprouting branches and growing...

Once more blooming with seven or eight large purple-red flowers.

As if condensing a short month’s time into an instant.

The rose bush was thriving, looking full of life compared to its peers beside it, particularly vibrant and delicate.

"Condensing energy from the void for long-range attacks."

"No, this isn’t a long-range attack technique, it’s a long-range support technique."

Zhou Ping’an’s eyes suddenly lit up as he considered the outcome of adding such a breath needle to an ally.

After reaching the Seventh Level Perfection of the "Life and Death Impermanence Needle," the mere ability to condense energy with a flick of his fingers was already uncanny.

Just now, he had tested the Life Qi Condensing Needle, but if he were to use the Death Qi Condensing Needle instead, that would be very hard to defend against.

The attack was invisible and intangible, without any warning, nor did it need any medium; it could directly take lives unseen.

He pinched another tiny black breath needle and thought, this must be the true form of the "Yanwang Needle."

"Back then, Baicao Hall’s Master, the Divine Healer Celestial Child Deng Yuanhua, upon reflection, must have only cultivated his "Life and Death Impermanence Needle Technique" to the Second Level of "Condensing Death Qi."

Therefore, his way of attacking was to attach death qi to fine silver needles, launching them with a unique hidden weapon technique.

His method of attack was clearly inferior...

Whether dodging or blocking, neither was too difficult.

But after reaching the Seventh Level Perfection, this lethal needle technique finally revealed its ferocious nature.

Life and death energies endlessly transformed into each other.

Moreover, it could be cast upon a mere thought...

Being struck by a single needle, unless facing a much higher-level opponent, would likely result in severe consequences.

Zhou Ping’an joyfully pondered various combat scenarios.

He finally understood what the core capability of the Seventh Level Life and Death Impermanence Needle was.

The transformation of vital energy and death qi into one another.

Thus, it completely resolved the drawback of activating vital energy and damaging longevity and yuan qi.

When the human body is damaged, surrounded by sickness qi, doom qi, and death qi, it slowly walks towards decay.

Under the capability of the Seventh Level of the Life and Death Impermanence Needle, this kind of qi can be freely manipulated, turning sickness and death qi into vital energy.

Balancing yin and yang, re-establishing foundations.

With this ability, what sickness couldn’t be cured?

Unless death was immediate, even at the King of Hell’s, one could haggle back a life.

Zhou Ping’an grinned with a light chuckle.

He turned his gaze towards the damaged area on his left shoulder.

The necrotic cells, just like the blooming rose bush, quickly repaired and regenerated flesh and blood.

In just over a dozen breaths.

He saw the burn marks on his skin slowly disappearing.

The dead skin withered and fell off, and new skin grew.

A formidable strength was generated from his muscles and bones; when he threw a light punch, he felt the force transmitting seamlessly.

His entire body felt extremely comfortable.

"Good, in future battles, as long as the enemy doesn’t kill me outright, I can freely heal my wounds. I will have endless stamina, and my physical recovery will be infinite.

In a situation where I can’t be killed no matter how I am hit, being my enemy would likely feel rather hopeless."

...

In the day and a half that followed.

Zhou Ping’an didn’t take on any tasks.

Apart from his extensive procurement of various supplies, he stayed at home practicing the Tidal Breathing Technique.

Of course, he also didn’t forget to edit and release the video of his battle against the Blood Eagle outside the city, cutting out the beginning and end.

The footage of him slaying the Nineteenth Division’s artillery and people like Zhao Shirong, was naturally not included.

He only wanted to gather fan likes and wasn’t planning on exposing some of the dark internal strife to the general public.

Besides these things.

Zhou Ping’an simply stayed at home, quietly waiting for the beast siege outside the city to subside.

Waiting for the cave that he also felt danger from to further develop.

At the same time, he waited for the Third Group to start acting, slowly capturing those who had undergone genetic modification at the Taihe Experimental Base.

They collected daily intelligence on them, and those who committed crimes were all to be captured.

This wasn’t because Zhou Ping’an was relentless.

But rather, he felt that everything should have a conclusion...

Even though genetic modification was ostensibly prohibited, it was never truly eradicated in secret.

He understood this point.

Although he turned a blind eye to transformation matters, he would never allow those who believed they were superior due to the modifications to secretly commit crimes.

Having the list, they could follow the vine to find the melon.

Previous cases that were utterly unsolvable would be closed one by one.

For the Police Security system, this was a good thing.

For the Third Group, it held an extremely special significance.

The reason was simple.

Those secretly performing modifications were generally either wealthy or of high status.

Even if they had not committed any crimes, being investigated meant they could not be utterly tightfisted.

They were expected to sponsor some of the equipment and facilities for the Third Group.

Such matters were not to be disclosed to outsiders.

...

As the sun set in the west and the moon rose in the east.

Zhou Ping’an looked at the crescent-shaped scar on his wrist, finally filled with energy.

With a thought, a breeze stirred the curtains in the room, and his figure vanished without a trace.

...

Requesting a Monthly Pass.
