Chapter 549: Chapter 461 Sky Splitter Overturning Sea + Chapter 462 Dream Traveling Immortal Pillow

"No need for such formalities."

Fang Chengdong’s face was covered with a kind smile as he extended his hand in a gesture of support.

"I had long heard that Su Lianxue of Emerald Peak has taken in two outstanding disciples. Originally, I thought you two were merely on par with other junior disciples within our sect, with a chance to compete for a True Inheritance. But it turns out, you have far exceeded our expectations."

The astonishment in his voice was evident; it wasn’t flattery but his genuine belief.

Lin Huaiyu was one thing; calling him a once-in-a-millennium genius wasn’t an exaggeration, given his swift victory over a Grandmaster Realm opponent at the Ninth Level Mortal Refinement, Sword Realm Second Realm, with his exquisite and complete sword technique.

Yet such a millennium talent appears occasionally within various sects and factions, and Fang Chengdong had seen them before.

Those who truly grow up to reach their full potential, however, are actually not that common.

Having talent is one thing, but possessing sufficient ability to surmount challenges and laugh last is another matter altogether.

But Zhou Ping’an here had truly frightened him.

At the same level, holding talent in the Ninth Level Mortal Refinement, Second Realm of Martial Intent, he was able to match someone in the True Martial Second Realm. How had he managed to do this?

Fang Chengdong could see the "Innate Divine Strength" talent, and moreover, he observed that Zhou Ping’an had cultivated the King of Light’s Temple’s King of Light’s Golden Body Technique, which bestowed an indestructible body. What he could not understand was how Zhou Ping’an had managed to master the rules from the True Kunpeng Form Diagram to such a profound depth.

It was well known that the skills discerned from the True Kunpeng Form Chart were notoriously difficult to cultivate, and using them came with an immense burden.

Even for them, the True Martial Realm members of the Inner Residence, after mastering one, it is kept as a closely guarded trump card.

And to put it mildly, they haven’t quite mastered them thoroughly.

What they have grasped is a tad more than skin deep; they’re far from profound.

"Your Sky-splitting Saber Technique has touched upon the Divine Power of rending space itself; your aptitude is beyond imagination. If I’m not mistaken, you must have learned it not long ago, right?"

A figure clad in black and wearing a tall hat suddenly appeared next to Fang Chengdong.

This man had deep-set eyes and a prominent nose, his face chiseled as if by a blade. Even in laughter, there was a certain severity.

"Sky-splitting Saber Technique?"

Zhou Ping’an thought it must be the Sea-Splitting Sword that he had come to understand; he himself had named it. Uncle Master Yu Changsheng hadn’t elaborated on what one could realize from it.

Maybe she didn’t care.

Or maybe she simply didn’t know.

That was Uncle Master Yu’s nature—sometimes she was muddled, sometimes keen, just as mysterious as her own mentor and hard to figure out.

Thinking of Uncle Master Yu’s "Pure heart," Zhou Ping’an immediately came to terms.

The so-called "Pure heart" in modern language implies an innocent, almost naïve manner, one that can’t be understood through ordinary thought processes.

"Yes, the True Kunpeng Form, when it truly comes down to it, is even more important than the Floating Cloud Sword Canon and Sword of Canghai Codex. For those lacking insight, holding it would be utterly useless.

But for those with enough insight, this atlas can even overshadow some Immortal Scriptures. Among the most commonly discerned four major rules-based killer moves are Sky Splitter, Overturning Sea, Heaven-covering, and Wind Control..."

Gu Mingxiao was usually stern and severe, but now his demeanor was very accommodating. He showed no impatience as he thoroughly explained these names to Zhou Ping’an.

"Generally speaking, when disciples comprehend this atlas, their mentors, like myself, wouldn’t detail the profound unique skills hidden within it. The concern is that disciples might reach too far beyond their grasp, choosing the wrong path to enlightenment, and ultimately fail."

And so, Zhou Ping’an understood.

His exhibition of the "Sky-splitting Saber Technique" might be quite formidable; even amongst the four regularly discerned Unique Skills and Divine Powers, it was considered exceptional.

"If I’m not mistaken, once you master this Sky-splitting Saber Technique to Completion, it’s said you can sever the very void with a slash. The founding master of our sect was renowned for this technique, striking terror in all directions and forcefully establishing an indestructible foundation for our domain in this world..."

Gu Mingxiao was unusually talkative, "Later on, both our third-generation master Qiu Chi and the seventeenth-generation Three Primordial Ancestor Master primarily cultivated this Sky-splitting Saber Technique, whose power is ranked among the very top of all our sect’s unique skills.

"That you were able to slay the Blood Spirit Child and sever the spiritual connection with Cui Guangling’s Divine Will, you must have already sensed the formidable nature of this saber technique."

"Indeed, I have," Zhou Ping’an carefully considered.

Without the Sea-Splitting Sword, he would have indeed found it impossible to kill the Blood Spirit Child, which could alternate between reality and illusion.

Stabbing empty mist with a sword, leaving holes, was meaningless.

The injury would heal as the mist surged and mended itself.

Only by severing the deeper, rule-based essence of its being could he kill it completely.

"If you had comprehended other moves, even with higher cultivation and greater strength, it would have been difficult to inflict significant damage on Cui Guangling."

Thinking thus, and turning back to the two Inner Residence Elders,

Zhou Ping’an understood why they regarded him so highly.

It turned out they themselves didn’t dare to break the formation or to fight Cui Guangling.

Not only were they cautious of contaminating their spirit and body, but more importantly, they simply didn’t have a better solution to eliminate the Blood Spirit Child.

As long as the Blood Spirit was alive, anything they did would be in vain.

"What a pity that, given another three years to delve deeper into two more levels of this technique, perhaps you could truly reach the Great Sky Splitting Completion, and with one slash, you could divide Yin and Yang, confirm reality and illusion, and breaking the Blood God would not be difficult. Now, however, it’s unachievable for you, the formation is unbreakable. Might as well withdraw and focus on another plan..."
