Chapter 481: What of the eighth layer of Soul Transformation?

After a long while!

The Emperor of Qi stood up in a daze and said somewhat powerlessly, "Pass down the order: open all the formations outside the Imperial Palace!"

"Within the Imperial Capital of Qi, patrols must continue day and night!"

"All Imperial Princes are forbidden from leaving!"

"Additionally, send word to the Biyun Laozu; the Biyun Laozu should know."

"Yes!" The young eunuch walked away in a panic.

What the Emperor of Qi did not know was that the news of the Second Biyun Laozu Jiang Yu's fall was spreading through the Qi capital at the speed of light at this very moment.

Countless Nascent Soul cultivators serving the Qi Kingdom silently left the Imperial Capital upon hearing this news.

No one was a fool; when it was time to leave, one naturally had to avoid the sharp edge of the blade.

……

On the other side, Dingxiang City!

He Pingsheng did not go to the Qi Imperial Capital immediately.

Because the Qi Kingdom was right there, and the Emperor of Qi was right there; they could not run away.

He first sent someone back to the Liang Imperial Capital to pass the news to Jiang Lan.

He asked Jiang Lan to come with all speed to discuss various matters.

The favor he owed Jiang Lan would soon be repaid; after all, a clean break had to be made.

From this point on, they would owe each other nothing.

Before Jiang Lan had arrived, the items He Pingsheng had strengthened were already finished.

The divine axe had been strengthened into two.

The first was identical, without any changes.

This was something He Pingsheng had deliberately controlled.

After all, this axe belonged to the Qi Imperial family, and he still owed Wang Dun a favor.

If Wang Dun came over and asked him to return the Qi Kingdom's treasure, how could he return it if it had all been strengthened?

Therefore, when He Pingsheng strengthened the axe, he took one out the moment it became two.

Only the other one was strengthened.

Of course, the black low-tier ancient treasure seal was handled the same way: strengthen one, keep one.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense extended into the newly strengthened top-tier ancient treasure axe, and the information surfaced.

Name: Wind-Thunder Mountain-Slicing Axe.

Tier: Top-tier ancient treasure (twenty layers of restrictions).

Function: Thunder attribute; when activated, it carries the power of thunder and lightning.

He Pingsheng smiled.

Thunder belongs to wood, meaning this thing could be fueled by wood spiritual energy.

Actually, it didn't matter; if He Pingsheng fueled it with his Five Elements Mixed Energy, the wind and thunder power unleashed would be even more formidable.

Unfortunately, there was no way to refine it in the short term.

Looking at the second one.

Name: Thick Earth Mountain-Shaking Seal.

Tier: Top-tier ancient treasure (twelve layers of restrictions).

Function: Earth attribute; integrates offense and defense, possesses formidable attack and defense capabilities, and when taken into the body, it has the ability to defend against spiritual sense attacks.

The introduction was brief, but it was enough.

The meaning of this treasure was that it could be used to defend against an opponent's attacks, or it could be infused with magic power to smash the opponent; more importantly, it could actively defend against spiritual sense attacks.

Unfortunately!

There was still no time to refine it.

He Pingsheng put these two treasures away and picked up many low-tier spirit stones, throwing them directly into the Treasure-Gathering Basin.

Let them strengthen slowly.

Of course, Jiang Yu's legacy certainly didn't stop there; there were other things, such as jade slips.

There were naturally many divine abilities and spells.

But He Pingsheng had no time to browse them.

Because Jiang Lan had arrived.

"You really killed him?" Jiang Lan looked at He Pingsheng with some disbelief.

She didn't quite believe it.

After all, He Pingsheng was only at the fourth layer of Nascent Soul, while the Second Biyun Laozu was at the third layer of Soul Transformation.

He Pingsheng smiled and reached out to take out a Glazed Infant.

This was Jiang Yu's Nascent Soul.

Although it was only the size of a palm, it looked exactly like Jiang Yu.

"This..." Seeing the Glazed Infant, Jiang Lan had to believe it even if she didn't want to.

"Thank you..." Jiang Lan was tearful: "Fellow Daoist He, the reason that dog emperor launched a coup back then to kill our family was because that dog Jiang Yu was backing him!"

"If not for him, our family would never have met such an untimely death!"

"Thank you for avenging me!"

Thump... thump thump...

Jiang Lan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to He Pingsheng several times.

He Pingsheng hurriedly helped her up and said, "You mustn't, you mustn't... How could I accept such a great courtesy from you? Besides, if not for you back then, I probably wouldn't be alive today!"

"Everything has its own cause and effect!"

"Mm-hmm!" Jiang Lan wiped the tears from her face: "Right, everything has its own cause and effect. So, now we..."

He Pingsheng smiled: "Let's go... to the Qi Imperial Capital!"

After killing Jiang Yu, He Pingsheng was actually less afraid.

Isn't it just an Imperial Biyun Laozu?

What of the eighth layer of Soul Transformation?

Is the Earth Root Talisman enough?

If it's not enough, Grandpa here will reward you with another 【Wrath of the Soaring】.

The power of a fifth-tier talisman is simply shocking.

At this moment, He Pingsheng also believed the words of Grandmaster Zhen Yu: fifth-tier talismans are all passed down from ancient times, and very few people can draw them.

Even if someone could draw a fifth-tier talisman, there were no materials to draw one with.

Of course!

He Pingsheng had some now; he had Jiang Yu's corpse and his blood, which could be used to make talisman paper and ink.

Boom...

In Dingxiang City, in this courtyard of He Pingsheng's, a cyan-white pillar of light shot into the sky, almost lighting up the entire city.

It was extremely spectacular from any angle in Dingxiang City.

This pillar of light lasted for only about three breaths before it vanished completely.

The teleportation was complete.

He Pingsheng and Jiang Lan had already arrived in a mountain range not far from the Qi Imperial Capital.

"Master... you've come..."

Xiaohe was full of joy when she saw He Pingsheng.

"Eh, you girl..." He Pingsheng said: "Didn't I tell you to go traveling? Why are you still guarding here?"

Xiaohe scratched her head: "I... I was afraid that if someone accidentally discovered this teleportation array and destroyed it, what would we do? So I thought I'd guard it for a while!"

"Alright, now that you've finished teleporting, Master, Xiaohe can leave!"

Xiaohe left.

He Pingsheng took all the materials of the teleportation array here, then took Jiang Lan and headed straight for the Qi Imperial Capital.

Half a stick of incense later, they arrived at the Qi Imperial Capital.

Jiang Lan and He Pingsheng put some distance between them.

He Pingsheng flew alone to the sky above the Imperial Palace.

The entire Qi Kingdom was in chaos.

Around the Imperial Palace, massive defensive formations were activated and opened.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense swept past, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't need brute force for this kind of formation; he could easily break it with his current level of formation knowledge.

"Emperor of Qi..." He Pingsheng, standing in the void, said faintly: "He Pingsheng has come to seek revenge... Come out yourself, and I will only kill you..."

"If I have to do it myself, I will slaughter your entire clan!"

He Pingsheng's voice was not loud, but it passed through the formations and echoed throughout the Imperial Palace.

The Emperor of Qi was trembling with fear: "Where is the Biyun Laozu? Has he come?"

Just at this moment, a voice came from the void.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable..." A short, thin old man suddenly appeared not far from He Pingsheng. He bowed to He Pingsheng and said: "Jiang Yu is dead. Can you still not let go of the hatred in your heart?"
