Chapter 470

"Damn..."

Zhen Yu, on the opposite side, suddenly cursed loudly this time.

He hurriedly deployed his defense!

The two words that had just left his mouth were submerged by the massive attack.

Cyan shield, broken!

Black defense, broken!

Offense as defense, broken!

One wave of energy after another, like ripples on the water surface, kept sweeping toward the four directions of the sky.

These ripples, some disappeared into the horizon, some fell into the mountain wilderness below, causing earth-shattering movements.

Grandmaster Zhen Yu's sleeve was torn off by half by this intense energy fluctuation, and he retreated a thousand feet.

His sleeve swaying, appearing quite comical.

"Phew..." He looked at He Pingsheng deeply and said, "If this strike had hit, it could kill a first-layer Soul Transformation!"

"However!"

After speaking, Zhen Yu's tone changed again, saying, "This is of no use, because there is no power of spatial rules, so it cannot lock onto the opponent!"

"If I had wanted to run just now, I could have walked away instantly, and this strike would have just been a waste of magic power!"

He Pingsheng nodded.

By now, he already had some understanding of his combat power.

This strike just now wasn't actually his strongest strike.

Because he didn't use any divine abilities.

The 【Heaven Fire Half-Moon Slash】 he shouted was actually just a name He Pingsheng thought of on the spot.

This wasn't a divine ability, just the Five Elements Mixing Force being catalyzed.

It also didn't carry the power of spatial rules.

If it really came to a fight, he would use the Five Elements Mixing Force, then activate the Heaven Gang Three Transformations, and then blast out with divine abilities like 【Heaven Snow Locking Realm】 or 【Nine Heavens Ice Dragon】.

Then, even if he couldn't kill the first-layer Soul Transformation on the opposite side.

It would be close.

But the problem now is, He Pingsheng doesn't want to kill a first-layer Soul Transformation.

His enemy is Jiang Yu.

And Jiang Yu is at the third layer.

To kill this third layer, he still needs to think of ways.

"The younger generation is to be feared!" Zhen Yu said, "He Pingsheng, your cultivation is still too low. If you could cultivate to the fourth or fifth layer of the Nascent Soul stage, then go fight this first-layer Soul Transformation guy, it would be much easier!"

"Unfortunately..."

"After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, Dao barriers are a difficult point!"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to reach it in a short time!"

"But it doesn't matter, the enemy is right there, he can't run away, you can just slowly practice in my Liang State capital!"

Zhen Yu didn't know that He Pingsheng's Dao barriers had already broken through to the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul stage.

However, even if the Dao barriers had broken through to the fifth layer, it was basically impossible to break through to the fifth layer of Nascent Soul in a short time.

During the Golden Core stage, without Dao barriers, every time He Pingsheng broke through a physical barrier, it took six or seven years.

Now that he was at the Nascent Soul stage, breaking through physical barriers should be even harder.

Even if it took ten years per layer, wanting to step into the fifth layer would be forty years later.

He could wait, but what about Seeing Qiao Huizhu?

"Senior, I have one more question I'd like to ask!" He Pingsheng bowed to Zhen Yu and said, "My wife Seeing Qiao Huizhu and the genius Xiao Xuan of the Ice Extreme Sect, both of them have disappeared, but their life tablets are both intact. Do you think there's a possibility that they found a passage to the Spirit Realm and then ascended directly?"

He Pingsheng really couldn't think of any other hypothesis.

"Probably not!" Grandmaster Zhen Yu said, "Regarding the fact that the Soul Transformation stage cannot ascend, it's actually not that long ago!"

"Legend has it that thousands of years ago, our world could still ascend to the Spirit Realm without any obstacles!"

"At that time, as long as one reached the Soul Transformation stage, it was fine!"

"And there was no such thing as an ascension passage; it was just that after undergoing the tribulation, one could choose—you could choose to stay in this world temporarily, or you could choose to ascend to the Spirit Realm!"

"But at the latest, one couldn't reach the middle stage of Soul Transformation!"

"Once reaching the middle stage of Soul Transformation, which is the fourth layer, one would be forced to ascend!"

"And the two people you mentioned, their cultivation is only at the Nascent Soul stage, so it's not very likely they ascended to the Spirit Realm!"

He Pingsheng fell silent.

Didn't ascend to the Spirit Realm, and disappeared.

Truly hellish!

He rubbed his eyes and found a strand of fortune moving incessantly in front of him; before long, the imperial ancestor appeared.

"Fourth Brother, what are you doing?" The imperial ancestor looked at Zhen Yu and said, "Making such a big commotion, I thought some Soul Transformation powerhouse came to our Liang State to cause trouble!"

"It's nothing!" Zhen Yu waved his hand: "I was sparring with He Kid!"

He briefly explained the matter in a few sentences.

Although Zhen Yu's cultivation wasn't as good as the imperial ancestor's, he was older, so according to age, he was still the imperial ancestor's brother.

"What?" The imperial ancestor looked at He Pingsheng in shock: "You... was that commotion just now caused by the two of you?"

He opened his mouth wide, looking at He Pingsheng: "Good fellow, you kid have already reached Nascent Soul!"

"Isn't this too fast?"

"How many years has it been?" The imperial ancestor started calculating with his fingers: "Only sixty-some years?"

Sixty-some years, that's also a normal speed for a heaven-gifted genius.

"Incredible, incredible..." Looking at He Pingsheng, the imperial ancestor's heart surged.

Back then, he made the decision not to interfere with He Pingsheng, and now it seems it was correct.

Otherwise, if this guy grew up, who could resist him?

"Back then, I owed you a favor!" The imperial ancestor looked at He Pingsheng and said, "Later, you helped our Liang State come back to life in the grand competition, and even achieved the second-place result, which is a great contribution!"

"Therefore, I and the Liang State will support you!"

"But hindered by the rules of the cultivation world and the promise to the two Holy Masters, we cannot take action directly!"

"Speak, just tell me what you need!"

The Liang State ancestor looked at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng thought for a moment and said, "If possible, I would like to ask the imperial family for a few fifth-tier talismans, hmm... defensive and offensive, it would be best to have some!"

Even if the Liang State ancestor hadn't said it, He Pingsheng would have taken the initiative to propose using his favor.

The second thing he was looking for Zhen Yu for today was actually to get talismans.

"Fifth-tier talismans..." The ancestor frowned slightly and said, "There are... but this thing is extremely rare!"

"And... for Soul Transformation stage cultivators, it doesn't have much effect either!"

"I have a 【Heaven Wind Talisman】 here, take it..."

The imperial ancestor waved his hand, and a cyan stream of light fell in front of He Pingsheng.

A talisman.

Palm-sized, it looked like jade, with countless fine runes circling it, still moving slowly.

The clear light wasn't strong, but it was extremely dazzling.

This is a fifth-tier talisman.

"Fifth-tier talisman masters are extremely rare, almost none!" Zhen Yu said, "These talismans are basically passed down from ancient times..."

"I also have a defensive one here!"

"I'll give it to you together!"

"This talisman is named 【Thick Earth Talisman】, keep it well!"

Grandmaster Zhen Yu also gave a talisman.

It was also fifth-tier.
