Chapter 452: Chapter 402 Wings Hanging from the Sky

"However, I never expected that my nephew’s martial arts and sword technique could become so formidable," Uncle Master Yu said, his voice filled with relief. "Even Yue Chengtian couldn’t match you. It turns out my worries were unfounded."

After laughing, Uncle Master Yu frowned, sensing the remnants of the Thunder Blade’s intent in the air. His gaze lingered on the pile of bones shattered by vigorous Qi on the muddy ground, and he sighed with satisfaction.

Yue Chengtian was also a renowned great master.

To think that he came running to Pinghu County and died at the hands of an unknown rising star, not even leaving a whole corpse behind, becoming a laughingstock to the world.

If word of this were to get out, who knows how many people would be shocked to their core.

Looking at Zhou Ping’an again, Uncle Master Yu was increasingly astonished.

His mental induction was extremely sharp, but with just one glance, he could see that although Zhou Ping’an’s Gang Qi was not exceptionally strong, his spirit and physical form were robust, and his life energy was frighteningly powerful.

With his own profound strength, he faintly felt that before him was not a man, but a gigantic beast, whose powerful vitality seemed to be suppressing him.

’How did he train to such a level?’

Uncle Master Yu was both astonished and delighted.

Ordinary people do not wish to cultivate both spirit and form, to refine both Qi and body—it’s simply too difficult, impossible to achieve.

Focusing on one path alone, exhausting all one’s strength and essence, they still struggle to break through crucial barriers and extend their lifespan.

Who could have the energy to engage in multiple types of cultivation concurrently?

Such a practice was practically joking with one’s own life and longevity.

Initially, Uncle Master Yu thought that this little-known disciple, known only by name, was also one of those who reached too greedily and too far. However, upon careful observation, he realized this was not the case.

The other was not only physically strong and resilient, with a profound foundational life force,

but he also had abundant Holy Primordial energy and powerful, vast Gang Qi, giving a sense of limitless capacity and infinite foundation.

"Marvelous, only with such a foundation could one be qualified to cultivate the secret manuals of the Sect..."

After observing, Uncle Master Yu no longer hesitated.

He pulled out a flat oilcloth package from his bosom.

Smiling, he said, "My senior sister Su put on quite a show of alliances on the mountain, and she spoke highly of you to the Sect Leader, describing you and Huaiyu as unmatched and unparalleled in the world, and managed to secure an early copy of the True Form Diagram.

I originally thought it was premature to give this to you now, fearing it might hinder your progress in cultivation, but now it seems I was overthinking."

Saying this, he handed over the oilcloth package, winked, and whispered, "Take your time to look at it when you get back."

"Could it be..."

Zhan Shanhe’s eyes were full of envy as he opened his mouth wide, almost drooling.

"Ordinary people can’t practice it. Big girl, don’t be so envious. It’s not for those without exceptional talent; showing it to you would only harm you."

Uncle Master Yu pinched Zhan Shanhe’s cheek hard and sighed inwardly, thinking that the girl, although now big and burly, was no longer as fun as she was when she was little.

"I’m not that bad, am I?" Zhan Shanhe muttered dissentingly. However, considering Zhou Ping’an’s combat prowess and Uncle Master Yu’s realm, her enthusiasm quickly waned.

She was indeed quite far behind.

However, once she mastered Powerful Qi and grasped Martial Intent,

she could aspire to become a true disciple and achieve great things in the future; there was no need to compete over petty advantages.

She couldn’t compare with Zhou Ping’an, but there was no reason Senior Sister Su couldn’t compete with Lin Huaiyu.

"Senior Sister, gather the troops and pass the order down, we’ll have an extra meal at noon today. There’s plenty of fish for everyone, and even if you can’t get any meat, having a sip of the soup is good too."

He patted Zhan Shanhe on the shoulder as the Life and Death Impermanence Heart Technique flowed, turning death Qi into vitality. A surge of vibrant life force arose within Zhan Shanhe.

Visibly, Zhan Shanhe’s complexion improved significantly.

He knew that this was one of the secret healing techniques rumored about.

According to some elderly people in Qingyang City, Zhou Ping’an possessed three remarkable abilities. The first was his extraordinary combat prowess—never underestimate the General’s combat power based on his apparent cultivation level.

Everyone who had underestimated him was already dead.

The second was his mysterious ability to continuously supply food.

Alone, he could sustain a million soldiers and civilians—a skill truly miraculous, and also the most significant.

The third, of course, was his skill in healing.

Titles like ’Rejuvenation Saint Hand’ or ’Unmatched Divine Doctor’ placed on him amounted to insults.

No matter the illness or stubborn old injuries, if he was willing to take action, it meant revival.

As long as one didn’t die on the spot, they could be rescued, and it wasn’t merely clinging to life; they’d recover perfectly, just like before they were injured.

Although not widely publicized in a flamboyant manner, this ability wasn’t a well-kept secret either.

Especially among frontline generals who faced near-fatal injuries, with their families preparing for their funeral, only to be saved by Zhou Ping’an and immediately restored to liveliness.

Such incidents happened too frequently to be concealed.

Anyone with connections knew about it.

That was also one of the reasons why the Qingyang troops were particularly cohesive.

Who wouldn’t want an extra life?

With such a "Divine Healer" as their backup, fighting became a competition where everyone was fearless.

Zhan Shanhe had heard about it before, but had never experienced it herself.

Now, feeling the life force within her surge like a tidal wave, cleansing both inside and out, the previous shock and penetrating sword energy were swept away by this vibrant life force. Her organs restored, muscles mended, bones regenerated, and blood essence strengthened...

In just this short moment, the life force was not yet exhausted, but her physical injuries had almost entirely recovered.

"Nice skill, we should spar sometime when we’re free," Uncle Master Yu said, clearly envious as he watched from the side.

Her name contained the words "Longevity", transforming the Canghai Sword Codex into the Azure Sea Tide Sword, delving into the utmost gentleness of water, nurturing a breath of longevity qi, and possessing a unique understanding of the life force.

After consecutive fierce battles, there was no need for others to treat her injuries; she had hidden inside the fish’s belly for a day and night and had quietly healed.

That was why she was quite proud of her own capabilities.

At this moment, seeing Zhou Ping’an heal Zhan Shanhe’s severely wounded body with just a slap nearly made her eyes pop out of her head.

It could only be said that some things really couldn’t be compared.

"Just a small technique, luckily acquired a cultivation technique by chance. Uncle Master Yu, if you are interested, we could have a good exchange."

Zhou Ping’an smilingly agreed.

He had already guessed what the gift Uncle Master Yu had sent was.

What was wrapped in that small oilcloth packet was probably none other than one of the three great secret manuals of the Cloud Water Heavenly Sect, the True Kunpeng Form Diagram, also known as the True Intent Map by the sect disciples.

A powerful cultivation technique that stood alongside, and even slightly above, the Floating Cloud Sword and the Canghai Sword.

The Floating Cloud Sword and Canghai Sword codices had created the twin heritages of the Cloud Water Sect. Over a thousand years, they had produced countless experts. No matter which lineage the disciples came from, their fame spread far and wide once they descended the mountain, their skills far surpassing that of ordinary masters.

However, not many practiced the True Kunpeng Form Diagram.

It wasn’t that the technique was poor, but it was difficult to practice, and its power was immense. A slight mishap could lead to severe consequences, setting one’s strength back instead of advancing it.

Therefore, there were restrictions within the sect; only extraordinarily talented disciples were allowed to cultivate it.

Even among the true disciples, only one or two people per generation might get a peek at its secrets.

As one can imagine, the opportunity to practice the True Kunpeng Form Diagram was exceedingly rare.

Incredibly, Su Lianxue’s master had managed to procure the manual in advance from the Sect Leader of the Cloud Water Sect, a sign of deep anticipation that truly moved one.

She indeed had put in a lot of effort.

"Uncle Master, was that sword light just now from that?"

"Exactly, derived from the True Form Diagram. I’ve named it ’Wings Hanging from the Sky’, isn’t it powerful?"

Upon mentioning his proud technique, Yu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed with a smile.

This sword technique had a long attack range and extraordinarily strong killing power, but its most formidable aspect was its density of attacks. Where others made one move, she could unleash countless swords like endlessly surging sea waves.

Most crucially, this move allowed her to fly for a short duration, moving her body swiftly and seamlessly.

Below the True Martial Realm, such a method was akin to cheating...

Even those of an equivalent level could barely resist.

"Indeed, extremely formidable, much stronger than even Heavenly Sword King Chengtian."

Zhou Ping’an gave a thumbs up, while internally he thought, since you’ve used it, now it belongs to me.

That amazing sword display had indeed posed a great threat to Zhou Ping’an.

If he had faced Yu Changsheng initially and confronted this ’Wings Hanging from the Sky’, he probably would have had to endure multiple hits first while searching for a counterattack opportunity.

As for the final outcome, that was not easy to predict.

It would depend on each’s hidden strengths.

With over two million Wish Power Threads in hand, Zhou Ping’an considered his aptitude unparalleled. Not to mention having seen such a demonstration firsthand, even just hearing the name might allow him to deduce it.

Moreover, since Yu Changsheng had also brought the True Kunpeng Form Diagram, failing to understand it would mean there’s nothing left to say.

The news that the citizens and soldiers of the city were sharing the demon fish meat spread quickly, instantly causing a resounding cheer.

For many, it wasn’t the craving for the incredibly rare, slightly fish-flavored clear soup but Zhou Ping’an’s gesture that greatly reassured them.

Sharing the fortune together, no matter what the future held, such actions were especially touching.

Especially after offering sacrifices to heaven and slaying strong foes, the people’s spirits became united, naturally creating a different atmosphere.

Listening to the cheers echoing like landslides and tsunamis, feeling the waves of Wishful Heartforce flowing his way, Zhou Ping’an’s heart blossomed with joy, yet he remained cautiously alert.

"It’s possible I underestimated the Red Lotus Sect; this sect might not have made notable achievements in rebellion, but its foundation cannot be taken lightly."

The logic was simple.

He had merely won a victory and put on a show, and yet, he had harvested so much Heart Thought Power.

Then, with the Red Lotus Sect possessing the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Visualization Method and specially nurturing a group of masters, how many benefits could they obtain, and to what depths could their cultivation reach?

Zhou Ping’an would definitely not think that all the Holy Mothers and Holy Maidens of the Red Lotus Sect were fools who didn’t know how to showcase their skills.

The principle was clear, though the execution methods differed.

Thus, the only difference was a matter of efficiency.

With so many years gone by, how many True Martial Realm masters had they accumulated, and were there any Divine Martial ones?

Why didn’t these high-level masters reveal themselves, instead sending disciples to stir up trouble at the foot of the mountain?

"And then, what kind of being is the Southern Scale Demon Chief? If even Yu Changsheng was beaten so miserably and had to hide inside a fish to escape... If this demon truly invaded the Three Counties of Liyou, how would we defend against it?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Ping’an was stirred, arranged for his Uncle Master Yu to be well taken care of, and headed into the Quiet Room.

The process of sacrificially refining the Starry Bone continued unhurriedly, unable to be sped up.

At this moment, if he could master that move "Wings Hanging from the Sky," even if he met opponents who were significantly stronger, he wouldn’t always just be on the receiving end...

Of course, as Yu Changsheng had said, each person could deduce moves suitable for themselves from the True Kunpeng Form Diagram.

He hoped to gain more.
