The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 945 Heavenly Net Queen, Holy Maiden Recruitment

Since the topic of the Tianluo Sect's past had come up, Chen Ping'an took the opportunity to ask about the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord from back then.

The Purple-Eyed Demon Lord has roamed the world for over a thousand years, leaving behind countless legends and anecdotes. Among them, the most talked-about story is naturally the classic tale of how he lived off a woman when he was still insignificant and had not yet risen to power.

The Celestial Queen, whose status was so noble, surpassing all others, was bound to that insignificant boy who was merely a Grandmaster, finding sweetness in their union and showering them with tenderness.

Judging from the clues left by later generations, it seems that the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord was in control of their relationship.

Such a thing would be extremely explosive no matter where it happens.

Its popularity and legendary status are undoubtedly off the charts.

One of the people who was the subject of discussion back then was from within the Tianluo Sect.

As far as Chen Ping'an knew, that Celestial Queen was of a high status. Before she even met the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord, she was already a Celestial Grand Master who had reached the pinnacle. Not long after, she entered the fourth realm and became a Great Celestial.

At that time, the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord was only a Grandmaster. Their encounter and entanglement were no different from the legends.

Their relationship was not that of a gigolo or a sycophant, but rather that of true lovers.

Treat them with utmost gentleness, granting their every request.

Such events make one wonder what charm the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord possessed that could so captivate a Celestial Female Ruler!

Could it be...?

Popular sayings are often whimsical and imaginative, and those hidden vernacular novels are even more vulgar, leaving much to the imagination.

Of course, those who compiled such works also paid a heavy price afterward.

Regardless of the reason behind this matter, and why the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord had this relationship in the past, it has attracted countless people to speculate and yearn for it.

Ordinary matters, matters of grandmasters, are beyond the reach of even pseudo-celestial beings, let alone great cultivators. The fact that the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord could have such a connection suggests that it's not simply a matter of unique charm.

Indeed, anyone who achieves success possesses qualities that are difficult for ordinary people to match.

Chen Ping'an wasn't interested in the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord's past romantic escapades; he was more concerned with the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord himself.

As for the Heavenly Empress of the Tianluo Sect, she was only being paid attention to incidentally.

"Are you interested in this matter, fellow Daoist?"

Tianluo Saintess glanced at Chen Ping'an with surprise.

"When you receive a gift, you should remember the kindness of your predecessors," Chen Ping'an replied calmly.

The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net had a dreamy look in her eyes as she gave him a deep look.

"I don't know much about the Demon Lord back then either. However, there are quite a few similar files and secret documents within the sect. Back then, the Demon Lord rose from humble beginnings, when he was still a youth."

The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net, with her ethereal and dreamlike demeanor, recounts in detail some of the past events of the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord.

Chen Ping'an listened calmly to all the information.

The Purple-Eyed Demon Lord was a powerful and ruthless figure, a giant of the demonic path who dominated the dynasty for over a thousand years. He once founded the Purple Extreme Demon Palace, which nearly became one of the six major sects of the demonic path at that time.

If it weren't for the death and dissipation of the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord, the Purple Extreme Demon Palace would probably be at its peak of glory by now, having restored the grandeur of the Seven Demonic Sects since the chaos in the central government and the suppression of the rebellion.

However, fate was unkind, and everything ultimately succumbed to the will of the Great Qian imperial family.

The Purple-Eyed Demon Lord lived for over a thousand years, spending most of his time in storms and hardships. Even after he became a giant in the demonic path, there were still many who were his enemies.

Mysterious ruins, endless exploration, and constant battles await.

But no matter how powerful or brilliant the opponent was, even if they were incredibly lucky, they would ultimately submit to the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord and become his defeated foe.

It is said that the Emperor's son was once defeated by the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord by half a move, and was at a disadvantage in the struggle for a crucial matter.

"There's such a thing?"

Chen Ping'an clicked his tongue in amazement upon hearing this.

He had never heard of such royal secrets before.

The Great Qian Emperor's son was born with extraordinary abilities, destined to rule all under heaven. His brilliance shone like the sun high in the sky, born with immense destiny. Such bloodline and fortune far surpassed that of ordinary imperial bloodlines or noble lineages.

According to royal legend, the emperor's son was invincible in the world, shining brightly for thousands of miles.

The so-called invincible genius of his generation is nothing more than a weak infant in front of the Emperor's son!

But unexpectedly

Chen Ping'an was somewhat surprised.

"This matter was personally witnessed by the Heavenly Luo Goddess, and it is recorded in the secret documents. There can be no mistake." The Heavenly Luo Saintess's expression was resolute, her eyes weaving with dreams.

"Back then, the Demon Lord was blessed with good fortune and prosperity. Regardless of their stance or grudges, everyone firmly believed that he would lead the demonic path to a more glorious future."

indeed.

Chen Ping'an nodded in deep agreement.

If the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord had not died, given his past actions, the current state of the demonic path would far surpass any previous era.

The Purple-Eyed Demon Lord rose from humble beginnings to power in just over a hundred years.

In just one hundred years, it has become one of the giants.

Such talent and ability are rare in the world. Looking across dynasties and throughout history, there are probably very few who have achieved this.

Since the Demon Lord gained power, many people have marveled at the discerning eye of the Heavenly Net Queen, who recognized such a promising prodigy from among millions of people in the mortal world.

Unfortunately, not long after the Demon Lord became a giant, the two got into some unknown trouble and parted ways.

This matter was one of the unsolved mysteries at the time, leaving many people puzzled.

During the conversation, Chen Ping'an also asked this question at the right time, wanting to find out the root cause.

But the Holy Maiden of Tianluo simply shook her head and said she didn't know.

This matter was not recorded in the secret archives, and all related information has long been buried in the dust.

In this world, the Demon Lord has fallen, and perhaps only he himself truly knows the truth.

Since the topic of one of the main figures in the old rumors came up, Chen Ping'an took the opportunity to ask about the situation of the Heavenly Luo Sect's female ruler.

The Holy Maiden of Tianluo didn't hide much about this, saying that she was now a member of the Tianluo Palace, and news of her was rarely heard. It was said that her most recent appearance was a hundred years ago, when she attended a demonic exchange.

"Communication between the demonic and Taoist sects?"

Chen Ping'an was stunned, as if he had heard a crucial piece of information.

According to the secret files of the Zhenfu Division, the six sects of the demonic path and all their affiliated forces regularly exchanged information, contacted each other, and relied on each other to deal with the dynasty's panicked situation.

"What? Is Lord Chen, this prodigy of the Zhenfu Division, planning to set a trap to capture us demonic witches?" The Holy Maiden of Tianluo's eyes were ethereal as she made a rare, teasing remark.

The fleeting charm in her eyes and brows startled Chen Ping'an.

"Then it depends on whether the Holy Maiden wants me to arrest her," Chen Ping'an said with a smile, adding a touch of joking. He didn't object; in this situation, nothing he said mattered, it all depended on mutual trust.

"Since Lord Chen is so interested in my demonic path, why not join my Tianluo Sect? I can be your introducer, and the benefits will be comparable to those of the Zhenfu Division, which I'm sure will not disappoint you."

The Heavenly Maiden possessed an ethereal quality, and her expression was both genuine and feigned. Chen Ping'an couldn't tell for a moment whether she was sincerely trying to recruit and win her over, or if it was just a casual remark as a polite gesture.

However, a remark from the Holy Maiden of Tianluo made him suddenly realize that his early idea of ​​using a pseudonym would be much more convenient if it had the backing of a powerful force.

The disguise he now relies on, the Black Iron Mask, one of the auras that truly simulates the imprint, is none other than the Seven Absolute Elders of the Tianluo Sect.

"You jest, Holy Maiden. I am currently in a good position and have no intention of seeking other avenues," Chen Ping'an said with a smile.

"Lord Chen, there's no need to rush to refuse. No one can predict what the future holds. You might change your mind someday. Besides," the Heavenly Luo Saintess gently shifted her posture, her face becoming more lively, "it's said that the Demonic Cult is a villain that everyone should kill. Aren't you afraid that your association with me will be discovered by the Zhenfu Division one day, and you'll be purged?"

The Heavenly Maiden stared at him with her eyes open, her gaze ethereal and dreamlike. At that moment, Chen Ping'an actually saw a hint of playfulness in her flawless and pure face.

His heart skipped a beat.

After a brief silence, Chen Pingan coughed.

“What the Holy Maiden says makes sense. If I change my mind in the future, I will come to seek refuge with the Holy Maiden. I hope the Holy Maiden will treat me well then,” Chen Ping’an said, half-jokingly.

The Holy Maiden of Tianluo looked at the man before her and suddenly smiled: "Very well, then I will await your arrival, sir."

Years ago, during the battle of Long'an, she seized the divine weapon, the Nether Rain Needle, from the enemy. Upon investigation, it was discovered that many within the sect possessed this weapon. However, considering the distance, this item likely belonged to the Seven Wonders Elder of Azure Dragon State.

Considering the previous events, the open entanglement between Chen Ping'an, the ruthless swordsman, and the Seven Absolutes Elder, everything became clear.

Chen Ping'an naturally had no idea what the Holy Maiden of Tianluo was thinking.

His conversation with the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Net was quite harmonious. It wasn't just a discussion of Daoist principles; he also learned a lot of information that he had never known before.

Such as the secrets of the Heavenly Net, cultivation realms, and the miraculous phenomena of the spiritual platform.

During the conversation, he inquired about the Dream Illusion Technique that the Heavenly Net Saintess had used to secure the victory, asking what exactly that technique was.

As soon as he asked his question, Chen Ping'an could sense that the Holy Maiden of Tianluo seemed to roll her eyes at him.

The Holy Maiden of Tianluo did not explain much about this matter, but Chen Ping'an learned about the level and grade of the secret technique from it.

Secret techniques, like cultivation methods, are classified into ranks. However, most secret techniques have a single function and do not involve such complex situations.

However, even among secret techniques, there are differences, and a grade corresponding to the cultivation method naturally came into being.

The Avici Thunder Sound technique that Chen Ping'an previously obtained is an ultimate secret technique in the fourth tier, which in theory can be adapted to the Great Celestials of the Fourth Realm.

As for the Yin Bone Flame Technique, it is more like a cultivation method than a secret technique, similar to the Bone Fire Burning Technique. Each cultivation method has its own rules and suitable practices.

However, unlike cultivation methods, this secret technique has extremely high requirements for the guiding material needed for cultivation.

Without something to guide one's progress, even with profound skill and sufficient understanding, it is difficult to make significant advancements in matters of bone and fire.

From the Holy Maiden of Tianluo, Chen Ping'an also learned that above the fourth-order secret technique is the treasure technique!

And the illusionary dream technique she used in the final battle was a treasure!

The two discussed information and exchanged ideas. During the exchange, Chen Ping'an also had the idea of ​​getting one or two true martial arts manuals and lucky spiritual items from the Heavenly Luo Saintess.

Anyway, having too much debt is nothing to worry about; whether you owe one thing or several, it's still debt.

Although the White Bone Grandmaster possessed profound knowledge, Chen Ping'an found no trace of any true cultivation scrolls during his investigation.

However, such things are quite normal. Not many people have the time to carry their cultivation methods with them. These items are either left with their factions or stored in secret places. If one dies, whoever has the right opportunity can become their successor.

This kind of thing is quite common in the world today.

This is one of the reasons why there are so many secluded places and opportunities.

However, some practitioners advocate defying fate and living for themselves, lacking such a philosophy. Therefore, the corresponding matters are naturally out of the question.

Of course, besides these circumstances, there is another major possibility for not carrying a cultivation technique: the essence of any inherited knowledge has already dissipated during the comprehension of the technique. Carrying it around would be neither valuable nor useful.

For example, Chen Ping'an, who practices techniques such as the Seven Killings Heavenly Gang Fist and the Five Poisons Earthly Fiend Palm, does not have any similar inherited techniques.

What he still possessed were the resources he had acquired previously, which he did not intend to cultivate but rather to trade.

Under such circumstances, it was already a stroke of good fortune that he was able to obtain the Avici Thunder Sound and the Yin Fire Flame Technique.

"It's a pity. If I could guide my soul out of my body and search my memories, I could have achieved everything and seized all the opportunities." Chen Ping'an couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

It's a pity it's useless; he's not skilled enough, so he can only dream about such things.

When Chen Ping'an mentioned the True Skill Scroll, the Heavenly Luo Saintess's expression remained relatively normal. Although she did not give a direct answer, she did show her attitude.

I said I'd help him take a look later if I had the chance.

But when she heard that Chen Ping'an wanted to search for the Ice Soul Spiritual Object, the Heavenly Luo Saintess's expression changed subtly.

Under normal circumstances, such changes should go unnoticed. But the longer they spent together, the more Chen Ping'an figured out. He could be said to have noticed the other person's changes almost immediately.

"An Ice Soul Spiritual Object? Lord Chen still needs to use this?" The Heavenly Luo Saintess looked at Chen Ping'an with ethereal eyes: "I've never heard of Lord Chen having any research on the Ice Soul Dao before?"

Since the Ice Soul item was related to panel cultivation, Chen Ping'an naturally wouldn't mention it. Faced with the Heavenly Luo Saintess's question, Chen Ping'an simply laughed it off and didn't give a direct answer.

"I am quite interested in this item."

"Quite interested?" The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Road looked at him with great interest. "It shouldn't be a gift for a beautiful woman, right?"

Ok?

A gift for a beautiful woman?

What's going on?!

Chen Ping'an was taken aback upon hearing this, but then he understood, realizing that the Holy Maiden of Tianluo had probably misunderstood.

"You flatter me, Holy Maiden. I am already struggling to make ends meet myself, how could I possibly have the resources to bestow upon you, my beloved?"

When asked, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo simply nodded, it was unclear whether she had taken his words to heart.

With this incident, Chen Ping'an can proceed with his pursuit of the Ice Soul Spiritual Object without any qualms. However, he still wants to put in some effort regarding the True Skill Scroll.

However, whether it was because the Holy Maiden of Tianluo was truly helpless, or because she was in a bad mood, or for some other reason, Chen Ping'an was unable to achieve his goal in this matter.

In fact, if their relationship hadn't been so distant, Chen Ping'an would have shamelessly asked what kind of cultivation method the Holy Maiden was currently practicing, and whether he could study and practice it.

However, such a thought is purely unfounded. Let alone between him and the Heavenly Luo Saintess, even ordinary Daoist partners would probably not dare to utter such a statement.

However, one should not dabble in cultivation techniques, as they involve personal secrets. But if one has the right connections, one might be able to ask for the secrets and treasures one possesses.

just

He wasn't a Daoist partner, so he didn't have the standing to do so. (End of Chapter)
