The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 944 The Great Way is our aspiration; those who share the same path are our companions.

"Okay, I'll definitely come to you if I need anything in the future."

Seeing the expression on Tianluo Saintess's face, Chen Ping'an suddenly became a little insecure and immediately offered a consolation.

"As long as it doesn't involve life and death, doesn't affect one's Dao heart, or violates morality, the Holy Maiden can command you in any matter. However, there is only one thing."

"it is good."

The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net responded softly, her expression serene and ethereal.

"What exactly is it? Does the Holy Maiden have any ideas now?" Chen Ping'an asked cautiously.

"I'll let you know when I've thought it through."

The Holy Maiden of Tianluo's eyes shone brightly, like a starry sea: "When the time comes, you can't go back on your word."

Looking at the woman in front of him, Chen Ping'an's heart skipped a beat.

"Why do I have a bad feeling?"

But the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to reconsider. Chen Ping'an reluctantly agreed.

"As long as the above conditions are met, Mr. Chen will take full responsibility for everything."

Fortunately, there was only one, and it was patched, so nothing should happen.

Chen Ping'an felt comforted.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo was pleased, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"As long as you don't go back on your word."

The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net had bright, sparkling eyes as she looked directly into Chen Ping'an's eyes.

Chen Ping'an was in a daze, momentarily stunned.

Whether it was Chen Ping'an's imagination or not, at this moment, he actually saw a hint of coquetry in the eyes of the Heavenly Luo Saintess.

Just like the girl under the starry sky that year, she tilted her head, her eyebrows curved, looking at him with a smug and playful expression.

"Chen Ping'an, you've lost."

The expression on Tianluo Saintess's face left Chen Ping'an stunned for a long time. It wasn't until much later, when he saw the half-smile on Tianluo Saintess's face, that he came back to his senses.

"In that case, I'll leave the refining and modification to the Holy Maiden."

Chen Ping'an coughed to ease the awkwardness and handed the pair of Yin Jade Bone Wings to the Heavenly Luo Saintess.

During the handover, Chen Ping'an noticed that the Heavenly Luo Saintess's storage bag was also a multi-purpose bag.

"They're really rich!" Chen Ping'an exclaimed.

He had been longing for the Myriad Spirits Bag, which he had just acquired, but the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Net already possessed it.

It makes sense. With the current cultivation level of the Heavenly Luo Saintess, her status within the Heavenly Luo Sect must have skyrocketed. The rewards and honors she receives will undoubtedly be plentiful.

Looking at the world today, on the surface, the cultivation level of the Heavenly Luo Saintess is second only to the Hidden Dragon and Feng Lingyin among her contemporaries.

However, the dynasty was vast and its territory expansive. Although the Hidden Dragon List was the most prestigious list of its time, it did not necessarily encompass all the talents in the world.

There are many reclusive successors and unparalleled geniuses who have been trained by independent masters, but they are not included in the Hidden Dragon List.

In addition, there are the imperial family of the Great Qian Dynasty, those enfeoffed by bloodline, and all the outstanding talents of the military, as clearly defined on the Hidden Dragon List.

If we include these, the number of brilliant talents in this era is probably even greater than we imagine.

However, even considering these factors, given Tianluo Saintess's current level of cultivation, she would likely still be among the top of her generation.

In such a competitive era, if this were an ordinary time, he would probably be the best of his generation!

This can be described as a celestial phenomenon that suppresses the present era.

This Yin Body cultivates so fast! Stepping into the Celestial Realm feels like soaring through the air, progressing by leaps and bounds in a single day.

Speaking of which...

Those with a Yin constitution have the potential to encounter spiritual objects, and seem to be able to...

As Chen Ping'an's thoughts deepened, recalling the absurd scenes from his previous dream, he couldn't help but feel a burning sensation in his ears.

In reality, he just...

Does that mean I've already obtained a rare and precious item?

"Oh, right." Chen Ping'an snapped back to reality, recalling the opportunities and gains he had previously made.

He raised his hand, and in a flash of inspiration, several objects appeared before him.

A fiery red feather, a pair of golden wings, and a transformation core.

"What are these?"

Looking at the items in front of her, the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net was somewhat surprised.

"Holy Maiden, you may take these items as well. If they are of any use, you may dispose of them as well," Chen Ping'an said with a smile.

The items in front of him were traded from Hua Ruyue during their previous encounter.

These are all important parts of the Golden-Crowned Feathered Sparrow, especially the feathers and wings. If they can be modified and utilized, they will definitely help with the refinement of the Yin Jade Bone Wings.

"I didn't expect you to have killed a transformed demon beast, fellow Daoist," said the Holy Maiden of Tianluo in surprise.

Based on her interactions with Chen Ping'an, she knew the exact year he reached the Celestial Realm. Judging from his past experiences and time allocation, he didn't have many opportunities to meet the conditions to kill the transformed demon beast.

"Not at all." Chen Ping'an smiled. "These items were all acquired through a chance transaction."

"Fellow Daoist is indeed prepared for a rainy day," said the Holy Maiden of Tianluo, as if with a deeper meaning.

The matter of the Yin Jade Bone Wings only occurred today; it was clearly not something that had happened before. Yet Chen Ping'an always carries this item with him. Even if he has considerable insight, it's probably not as simple as a mere transaction.

"Haha, it's just a matter of having more reserves." Chen Ping'an chuckled, without offering any further explanation.

Without asking any further questions, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo accepted the gifts in front of her.

After handing over the Yin Jade Bone Wings and all the resources to the Heavenly Luo Saintess, Chen Ping'an felt at ease.

He has high expectations for the modified Yin Yu Bone Wings.

Given the background and background of the Heavenly Maiden, the master blacksmith willing to coordinate and refine the craft must be extraordinary. Their skills are undoubtedly among the best.

With refinement and modification, the corresponding power effects can be expected.

If he could possess a feathered escape treasure, his normal escape speed would reach an extremely terrifying level.

Most importantly, while others might assume that his extraordinary speed relies on external magical treasures, they will only realize what he truly relies on when he unfolds his fiery wings!

Divine bloodline, golden and fiery wings!

After the major battle, Chen Ping'an gained a clearer understanding of his own combat strength. He also developed a systematic understanding of the corresponding cultivation techniques and the power of secret skills.

Understand what can threaten major repairs and what can only be used as ordinary means of killing and restraint.

Furthermore, the levels of treasures have undergone a complete refining process.

At the level of major repairs, ordinary treasures are no longer rare. However, some unique and exceptionally effective treasures are still sought after by those in major repairs.

Especially those precious treasures that are compatible with cultivation techniques.

As for high-quality treasures, even for major repairs, they are the main reliance.

Besides the Yin Jade Bone Wings, he also acquired two other treasures from this trip, among which the Yin Wind Pearl was a top-quality treasure.

It is considered a handy tool for cultivators at the Heavenly Realm level, serving as a core means of protection.

This White Bone cultivator was quite wealthy, possessing not only the exquisite Yin Wind Pearl but also rare treasures like the Yin Jade Bone Wings.

In terms of grade alone, the Yin Jade Bone Wings are of a higher grade than the Yin Wind Pearl.

However, it is clear that it has not yet reached the threshold of a top-tier treasure.

Top-tier treasures are extremely rare, even for cultivators at the Celestial Realm level.

Only top-tier cultivators with powerful backgrounds and strong backing can possess top-tier treasures.

Like Wan Baocheng of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, the number one cultivator in the North Sea, known as the Great Celestial, who can rival the Great Celestials in the entire sea region. And the newly promoted cultivators, Tianjiu Daozi and Feng Lingyin, probably also possess top-tier treasures.

As the most unpredictable force in the Central Plains, the Heavenly Nine Gates' true strength is something that can only be imagined.

As a contemporary Daoist, it is inevitable that he possesses top-tier treasures.

even.

Aside from such cases, ordinary celestial cultivators do not possess top-tier treasures. Perhaps those with exceptionally good fortune might find comparable treasures through their own luck.

But apart from that, there obviously won't be anything else.

At least, given Chen Ping'an's current social circle and information, he had never heard of any powerful cultivator in the surrounding area possessing a top-tier treasure.

Even the overlord of the Ancient Moon Realm, the first cultivator of the Ancient Moon Clan, known as the number one human cultivator in the four directions, never possessed a top-tier treasure.

At least, it's definitely not on the surface.

"A top-tier treasure."

Chen Ping'an looked expectant.

Given his current progress and steady advancement, it's believed that the day he possesses a top-tier treasure is not far off.

This harvest should be properly digested, and all the items such as the Yin Wind Pearl, the Dry Bone Thorn, the Avici Thunder Sound, and the Yin Bone Flame Technique should be transformed into a foundation.

All measures will be updated!

Including the two newly acquired items, he now possesses five treasures: four ordinary treasures, one fine treasure, and the rare Deep Sea Pearl.

At this stage, pseudo-treasures and divine weapons have been completely phased out.

Although a cultivator at the Celestial Realm level occasionally uses pseudo-heavy treasures, it's only for minor skirmishes and doesn't even amount to a restraint in battles of the same level.

Having arranged everything properly, Chen Ping'an now felt completely relaxed.

Although this refinement and modification required a significant investment, it was entrusted to the Holy Maiden of Tianluo, so it can be trusted.

Venture capital requires risk first, then investment.

As for the returns, we'll have to wait and see.

White bone puppet, Yin jade bone wings.

After going through the distribution of spoils and the back-and-forth tug-of-war, Chen Ping'an and the Holy Maiden of Tianluo have taken their relationship to a new level.

The atmosphere became much more harmonious.

Joining forces to fight the major overhaul is a testament to their shared hardships and life-or-death experiences.

Of course, the former is true, but as for the latter, opinions vary, and it's a matter of putting on a show.

Regardless of the circumstances, this incident has redefined the somewhat entangled and complicated relationship between the two.

Friendships forged in dreams, friendships forged in adversity, friendships forged in life and death.

Well, if there is no objection from one side.

This should be the latest definition of their relationship.

In the previous battle, both of them had planned well and did not suffer too many injuries. Chen Ping'an, with the protection of his bloodline golden wheel, only suffered some shock injuries from the White Bone Great Cultivator's frenzied counterattack, which did not even qualify as minor injuries.

As for the Heavenly Luo Saintess, apart from the injury on her wrist, she had no other visible injuries.

Even if it were true, it wouldn't really matter.

After all, under the Pact of Illusions, where injuries are shared, any injuries on the Heavenly Net Saintess could not escape Chen Ping'an's perception.

I just don't know if this counts as a perfect understanding or telepathy.

With the spoils of war settled, the atmosphere was relaxed and leisurely. The two chatted about the Dream Pearl.

Based on their speculation, the Dream Contract on their bodies, which allows them to share the same wounds, most likely originated from this Dream Orb.

Before experiencing the dream, the two were not acting strangely. It was only after experiencing the dream that this incident occurred.

The matter of being injured together is of great importance, even involving the life and death of both of them, and both of them have taken it very seriously.

Faced with the Holy Maiden of Tianluo's question, Chen Ping'an did not hold back much.

He laid out everything in detail, indicating that he did not yet understand the underlying mechanisms and was still completely baffled by the matter.

During their conversation, Chen Ping'an even revealed the Dream Pearl, which he relied on greatly, in front of the Heavenly Luo Saintess.

Colorful and vibrant, a dreamlike vision.

He and the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Net obtained this item together, but in the end, he was more skilled and got it.

Although this matter was his secret, he obviously had nothing to hide from the Holy Maiden of Tianluo.

The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Net also studied it carefully, and even used several secret techniques during the process, but made no progress.

"So, it seems we won't find an effective solution in the short term." Chen Ping'an frowned slightly, looking at the colorful pearl in front of him.

"Looking at it now, that seems to be the case." The Holy Maiden of Tianluo said calmly, "Between you and me, it seems that for a long time to come, we will have to share life and death, just like we are now."

Having just finished testing the last method, she temporarily gave up on that idea.

"Yes." Chen Ping'an sighed, unsure whether to feel melancholy or something else.

From a risk perspective, with this connection, even if the Holy Maiden of Tianluo has other intentions, she will not pose a threat to him.

However, on the other hand, this influence is also a constraint for him.

At times, it even threatens his life.

Chen Ping'an gave the Heavenly Luo Saintess a deep look. She was ethereal and dreamlike, pure and flawless, like a fairy in a secluded valley, unlike a demonic witch.

Whether it's the demonic path or the righteous path, if it doesn't harm heaven and reason, but does harm people, it's just a matter of ideology.

The definition is correct; the question is, who holds the power of discourse?

The matter of the illusion has come to a temporary end.

Chen Ping'an looked at the precious pearl in front of him and mentioned his confusion. He explained that he had been refining the pearl and found it to be very strange. It was similar to her glass lamp. He wondered if there was some connection between them.

Hearing Chen Ping'an's confusion, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo gently raised her jade hand, and amidst the swirling spiritual light, a glass lamp appeared.

The glass cups are layered and stacked, with a staggered and well-arranged shape. Exquisite patterns are engraved between the light purple glass pieces.

The rim of the cup is inlaid with a deep blue gemstone and adorned with gold patterns, like flowing gold.

This was the first time Chen Ping'an had observed this precious treasure up close.

"This item is a secret treasure of the Heavenly Net, a protective artifact bestowed upon our temple by the sect." The Heavenly Net Saintess explained its origins calmly: "Legend has it that it once belonged to a temple king within the sect, but..."

The Holy Maiden of Tianluo recounted the secrets and past events within the Tianluo Sect in detail, while Chen Ping'an stood aside, listening quietly.

Within the Tianluo Sect, there is a strict hierarchy, with each member, from ordinary disciples to elders, venerable ones, and Dharma Kings, having their own set of rules for conduct.

The so-called Palace King is in charge of a Palace, and his status is so high that he is even above the Dharma King.

Through the Holy Maiden of Tianluo's explanation, Chen Ping'an gained a deeper understanding of the Tianluo Sect's system of operation and organizational structure. He also developed a clear concept of the corresponding class status and division of responsibilities.

Looking at the ethereal, dreamlike woman before him, listening to the secret tales and old stories, enveloped in the aura of the protective treasure, Chen Ping'an suddenly realized that what they were doing seemed to be something only Daoist couples would do.

They exchanged ideas and discussed profound truths, revealing their innermost secrets without reservation.

Such situations only occur between Daoist partners, especially those who are intimately connected and share a deep bond, even in the face of death.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but smile.

The Holy Maiden of Tianluo slightly raised her eyes, her expression calm, but deep within her gaze lay a subtle hint of coquettishness and joy.

Like a cat, she found her warmest and most comfortable embrace.

Sharing the same aspirations, we walk hand in hand as companions; this is the meaning of "pathetic partners." (End of Chapter)
