Chapter 766: Chapter 597 Lure + Chapter 598 The Bizarre of County City

"Understood."

Zhou Ping’an had always been somewhat curious.

Since the Four Great Immortal Sects, the Three Great Buddhist Sects, and the Twelve Families all knew that gaining momentum and amassing Qi Fortune could greatly accelerate the cultivation speed of their sect disciples.

If they could unite the world under their rule, it would certainly allow their sect or family to rise overnight, producing talents in succession and masters as numerous as the clouds.

Yet, astonishingly, all of them behaved obediently, without any one of them raising the flag of rebellion or openly opposing the Imperial Court.

This seemed somewhat illogical.

It appeared as though the world was no longer vibrant, and the Imperial Court had major problems in controlling the local regions.

However, the signal fires of war that were kindled everywhere were all started by wild heroes like Heavenly Kings, Fortress Chiefs, and Gang Leaders.

Of course, the most formidable among these was still the Red Lotus Army.

The reason naturally lay in the military legacy of the Imperial Court.

Ordinary generals who cultivated Evil Qi to a degree of success could rival those in the True Seventh-layered Qi Realm of Mortal Refinement.

And those who reached the Evil Fortitude Fusion level could even battle Grandmasters at the Heavenly Man Sync Levels...

Once the Evil Fortitude Qi is materialized, these military generals should be able to contend with masters of the True Martial Realm. Just like Chu Changxing and Fu Dongliu, the two Tiji Commanders from the Phoenix Platform whom I have seen personally.

In a real fight, even Zhang Taiyan in the Mid True Martial stage wouldn’t necessarily be sure to win against them.

Zhou Ping’an himself had cultivated the Evil Fortitude Fusion technique, and had now reached the Transforming Light level. Silently estimating the power hierarchy, he understood that the path of cultivating Evil Qi was actually a shortcut to rapid advancement.

The only downside was that it did not nourish life.

Those from sects and families with true legacies and fortunate opportunities do not even deign to pay attention to it.

There must be another reason here.

That is, even if the shadow of Evil Qi materialized to its apex, it might not necessarily be able to resist the formidable Dharma forms.

For example, the Dharma forms of Bai He and Yu Changsheng, which are infinitely resourceful and powerful, would even have the upper hand when facing the Evil Azure Dragon from the Demon Subduing Trial.

Of course, it is not ruled out that General Wu Qi, who practiced Evil Powerful Azure Dragon, did not cultivate his Evil Qi to the highest level.

But overall, the way of Martial Arts becoming mainstream and sought after by martial artists around the world naturally has its superior aspects.

As learned from Wu Changsong’s mouth.

This military Evil Fortitude technique, once cultivated to the level where Evil Intent becomes sentient, will actually give birth to Divine Skills, even capable of matching up with warriors in the Divine Martial Realm.

The situation then becomes complicated.

Even if the sects have the power to overwhelm the world’s Divine Martial warriors, they are ultimately unable to leave their Heavenly Cave Blessed Lands.

Even if they have some methods to infiltrate this world and use Divine Martial Fields, they cannot use it as a common tactic and can only use it as a trump card for a desperate reversal.

If a Divine General Rank warrior wishes to destroy mountains and temples, it is very likely that before the sect is defeated, their own lifespan will be exhausted, unless the Imperial Court spares no cost and orders many Divine Generals to attack at the same time.

But first, it is necessary to see if those Divine General Rank nobles with high authority are willing to risk their lives for the fall of one or several sects. If all sects truly feel threatened, should the Four Immortals Sect and Three Buddha Sect join hands, the Imperial Court would likely stumble.

From such analysis, the strength of the sect’s Divine Martial warriors should be a bit stronger.

Whereas the Imperial Court’s Divine Generals are more numerous.

After all, the Imperial Court holds such a vast territory; with such a huge base, the number of successful individuals will naturally have an advantage.

Thus, no matter which sect or faction takes the lead in rebelling, they would undoubtedly bear the brunt and face the encirclement of a large number of the Imperial Court’s masters, thus meeting their doom without a place for burial.

"How rash."

Thinking this way, Zhou Ping’an felt that Cloud Water Sect acting so cautiously and covertly, helping to quell the rebellion in Yunzhou, supporting their disciples to climb upwards within the system as proxies, was actually a wise move.

On the other hand, charging forward recklessly and directly conquering cities and seizing territories.

In the eyes of others, that is being a "hotheaded fool," a reckless meddler.

An "advance guard for the king," a trailblazer.

"If I were the officials of the Imperial Court, I too would need to quell Zhou Ping’an from Jiangzhou first as an example to others."

The reason for attracting the attention of the Northern Garrison is understandable.

It’s not entirely because Monk Xuanming persuaded the Phoenix Platform.

Perhaps he played some role in it.

But that’s surely just a catalyst, an opportunity.

Otherwise, a heavy instrument of state like the Northern Garrison would not ignore the Red Lotus Bandits and instead attack my Ping’an Army first.

"But then again, fortune favors the bold; if one doesn’t take risks, how could one attain such a situation?

My cultivation, not to mention reaching the True Martial Middle Stage Realization Realm, I might not even be able to fully master the True Qi Realm at this time.

As for Lin Huaiyu, Uncle Master Yu, and my master and senior masters, all those people who followed the Ping’an Army into battle, they would not have achieved such breakthroughs either."

Zhou Ping’an, as the leader who enjoyed the greatest benefits from Qi Fortune, naturally had a clear understanding of the effects he gathered.

Frankly speaking, he was not any extraordinary cultivation prodigy.

Even with the Broken Mirror at hand, practicing the Red Lotus Karmic Fire Visualization Method, he was merely considered a common genius.

Breaking through to True Martial without twenty years of hard work seemed unlikely.

But now, within half a year, he has broken through more than a dozen bottlenecks in his cultivation techniques, advancing as if taking a flight.

If there weren’t the support of Qi Fortune from heaven and earth, it would have been impossible to achieve this.

"When the time comes, all forces under heaven lend their strength; this is a snowballing game. The larger the territory, the stronger the Qi Fortune, the faster the cultivation, and the more benefits one gets."
