Chapter 363 - Return to the Guizang Mountain

Liu Ping stood in front of a large rock.

The two guards had already checked his identity. They smiled and said, "Seize this opportunity. What you can learn will depend on your own luck."

Liu Ping clasped his fist: "Brothers, what do I need to do?"

One of the guards answered: "There's nothing to do, Guizang mountain will naturally give you an evaluation."

"That's right" the other guard said. "You only need to demonstrate your techniques and Guizang mountain will choose a suitable scripture for you."

The two of them patted the rock.

The rock slid to the side, revealing a small path up the mountain.

"That's so mysterious, even I'm a bit nervous" Liu Ping smiled.

"There's no need to be nervous, once you take the scripture down the mountain, you'll find that it's actually nothing" the guard said with familiarity.

"Thank you very much."

Liu Ping followed the small path up the mountain.

After walking for a while, he turned back to look, only to see that the fog had already blocked the path he came from, the rock and the two guards were already nowhere to be seen.

"... It's not a formation, it's indeed a bit strange."

Liu Ping muttered as he continued walking up the mountain.

The mountain was covered in grey rocks of various sizes, not a single blade of grass grew on it, there weren't any animals either.

Liu Ping picked up a rock and looked at it.

The rock didn't have any edges, the edges were smooth, as if it had been polished by some kind of tool.

As far as the eye could see, almost all the rocks were smooth.

The wind blew.

There was no one around, no movement at all.

Liu Ping continued walking along the small path.

A few dozen minutes later.

There was no path ahead.

— — -so where's the scripture you gave me?

Liu Ping was curious, stood at the end of the path and looked around.

Crash!

A sound came from all around.

A rock the size of a palm rolled down the mountain, stopping right next to his feet.

Liu Ping picked up the rock.

The stone was engraved with tiny words, and the first sentence was:

"Domain Blade Style: Fire Realm Opening. this Blade Style has been improved and can be used in the current world."

Liu Ping trembled.

Fire Realm Opening!

The Spirit Summoning Saber Technique had a total of nine forms. Other than the Qilin Slash, Phoenix Descending Ritual, and Swimming Dragon Splitting the Sea, the remaining six forms were a set of consecutive moves. They were derived from the meaning of the Six Harmonies, but they were not refined.

In light of this situation, I created a technique called [Opening of the Fire Realm], but because the World Origin Energy was being locked down by the umbrella wielder, this technique couldn't be used.

Guizang Mountain actually had a way to help him improve it!

How could this mountain know so much?

How did it come up with a way to improve his saber art?

Liu Ping skimmed through the contents of the stone.

He closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while before nodding.

"This saber art is indeed close to perfection ..."

Another small stone rolled down from the mountain and landed at his feet.

Liu Ping picked up the stone and saw another line of words written on it.

"The saber technique has been completed. You can go down the mountain now."

Liu Ping cupped his fists towards the fog and said, "Thank you."

Holding the stone that was filled with the secret of the move "Fire Realm Opening", he turned around and was about to go down the mountain.

After taking a few steps, he stopped again.

For some reason, he felt a little unwilling to leave just like that.

Liu Ping took another step forward.

The feeling of reluctance in his heart became even more intense.

He pondered for a few moments, then suddenly turned around and clasped his fist towards the top of the mountain again: "This kind of scripture, I can actually derive it myself, it doesn't match my true strength."

A few moments later.

There was no reaction from the mountain.

While Liu Ping was feeling a bit disappointed, the Baina Blade at his waist suddenly vibrated.

A line of burning text appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes:

[The Baina Blade has sensed your will]

[This blade has generated the ability: World Breaker]

[World Breaker: Ignore the restraints of the World Origin Energy and release a power that doesn't belong to the current world]

[Attention!]

[Special reminder from the Heroic Spirit UI:]

[To do this safely without attracting the attention of any sealed realms, you need to awaken the power of the Law of Earth]

[The UI has connected with Guizang Mountain, the results are as follows:]

All the text stopped moving.

Liu Ping looked at the last line of text and waited for a few moments.

— — -you said the results are as follows, what's the result?

At this point, the sound of another stone rolling down the mountain could be heard.

A piece of stone slowly rolled to Liu Ping's feet.

Liu Ping picked it up, only to see a line of text written on it:

[Your current identity has been revoked]

[You are no longer the guardian of the barrier's inheritance, you no longer have the authority to complete the technique]

[Following the notification of the Sequence you hold, Guizang Mountain will re-evaluate you]

[Please re-establish your identity according to the guidance]

Crash — — -

Another stone rolled down.

A fist technique was written on this stone:

[Northern Cang Metal Sharp Fist]

[This fist technique has 7 styles that have been passed down through the ages, the other 5 styles have been lost, please complete them]

Complete the fist technique?

This is Guizang Mountain's evaluation of me?

Liu Ping glanced at the void of space.

A prompt appeared on the Heroic Spirit UI:

[Do your best]

Liu Ping sighed, feeling that this was extremely strange.

The Heroic Spirit UI is a UI specifically designed to help me, but it seems to be working together with Guizang Mountain to do something ...

It's a good thing that I didn't directly leave the mountain just now.

Liu Ping calmed himself down, finished reading the fist technique, thought for a few moments, then spoke: "The remaining 5 styles of this fist technique should be like this ..."

He went through the Northern Cang Metal Sharp Fist technique once, then added another 5 styles to it.

"This fist technique uses the sharpness of metal, the remaining 5 styles focus on breaking through all defenses, so that's it"

Liu Ping said.

After waiting for a breath.

The fog in front of him dispersed.

The stone path extended from his feet to the top of the mountain, opening up a new path.

Liu Ping understood and walked forward along the path.

After a few dozen breaths.

There was no more path ahead, but another stone appeared on the side of the road.

This stone was about the height of his knee, a technique was written all over it.

Liu Ping squatted down and read:

"Profound Spear Technique: Thousand Shadows"

He quickly finished reading the technique, thought for a bit, then drew his Baina Blade and added 7-8 sentences behind it.

"Alright, I've finished supplementing the incantation."

Liu Ping smiled.

The stone slowly sank into the ground.

The path extended towards the top of the mountain again.

Liu Ping then walked up the stairs.

After a few dozen breaths.

The path ahead disappeared again.

A huge stone as tall as two people stood at the end of the path.

Liu Ping walked forward to take a look, only to see a sword technique written on it.

"Revenant ... Secret Sword technique ..."

He pondered and frowned.

Swordsmanship is different from other techniques, without innate inspiration, there's no way to become a sword saint, let alone the realm above sword saint.

This time, Liu Ping spent a full hour to complete the entire secret sword manual.

Rumble rumble — — -

The huge stone sank into the ground.

Lines of burning words quickly appeared in front of his eyes:

[The fist technique, spear technique, and sword technique that you've completed have all entered the current world, increasing the power of the world's water]

[The power of the Law of Fire and the Law of Water have been completed, beginning to summon the Law of Earth]

[The Law of Earth has awakened, temporarily protecting you]

[The place where you stand has become a realm of its own, capable of containing your original power]

[The power you unleash will not be sensed by the sealed realm]

[Everything is safe]

[Please begin to unleash your Blade technique, to allow Guizang Mountain to confirm your login status]

After reading for a few moments, Liu Ping finally realized what was going on.

So Guizang mountain actually helped me and allowed me to obtain even more support from the Law of Water.

This is to allow me to unleash that Blade technique to confirm my identity!

What's my strongest Blade technique?

— — Lawless Heaven and Earth's, Third Secret Slash!

Liu Ping drew his Guizang Blade and took a deep breath.

He raised his Blade.

Instantly, the world was reduced to nothingness.

A hazy golden light descended from the sky, turning into a majestic and endless tower. Countless existences stood on top of it.

Every entity wielded a Blade in their hand and shouted in unison:

"Slash!"

Boundless pressure descended from above, as if it wanted to slash everything in its path.

But fortunately, the Law of Earth's power had enveloped Liu Ping's body, causing the power of the Blade technique to remain in another realm without leaking out at all.

After the slash.

All the supernatural phenomena faded away.

On top of Guizang mountain. The layers of fog scattered to reveal a long path.

A piece of rock rolled down from the top of the mountain, stopping next to Liu Ping's feet.

He picked up the rock and saw a few lines of text written on it:

[Your identity has been confirmed]

[Logged in]

[Welcome back again]

[— — Guizang Greatest Victory, creator of the Wu Ji Scripture]

[You need to awaken further]

[You need the power of Earth]
