Chapter 902: The Great Array of Time is Complete

"Hao Cang… rise!"

He Pingsheng chuckled: "Come, come… let me see!"

"I remember, you old bastard carried plenty of karmic debt!"

"How is it now?"

"Has it all faded?"

"No!" Hao Cang smiled bitterly: "Your servant couldn't find the right elixir or method to purge the karmic debt, and in recent years, the debt has grown again!"

West Lake True Person hurriedly said: "During the sect's development, unforeseen events are inevitable—especially during the time you first left the Heavenfire Continent, it was especially difficult!"

"Many matters were handled by Elder Hao Cang!"

He Pingsheng nodded.

No need to say more—Hao Cang did plenty of dirty work.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have accumulated so much karmic debt.

"No matter!" He Pingsheng pulled out a supreme-grade 【Purifying Karmic Elixir】 and gave it to Hao Cang.

"Go!"

"After taking this elixir, all your karmic debt will be completely purged!"

"Your speed of enlightenment during cultivation will also rise dramatically!"

"Thank you, Young Master—your servant truly… thanks you, Young Master…" Hao Cang took the elixir, fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his aged face.

"No need for such formality!" He Pingsheng waved his hand, then turned to West Lake True Person and handed her a jade vial: "Inside are ten more supreme-grade 【Purifying Karmic Elixirs】. Swallow one, and your karmic debt will be utterly cleansed!"

"If any member of the sect who has made great contributions to it becomes tainted by heavy karmic debt, give them one!"

"Yes!" West Lake True Person put away the Purifying Karmic Elixirs.

This was a precious thing—more than worthy of being called a sect treasure.

After settling matters at Solitary Pine Mountain, He Pingsheng did not enter seclusion.

Instead, he slowly spent time with Su Zhenzhen, Zhou Qingmei, and Dalun Mingwang.

He lived his life while contemplating the 【Heavenly Talisman Dao Treasury】, fully immersing himself in the mortal world.

In a sealed-off place within Dalundicheng, there lay a desolate desert.

Upon the desert stood an ancient, humble human village.

Almost every blade of grass and tree in the village was a replica of the scene from Ma's Town.

Alas, the village existed—but the residents were no longer those same people.

"How is it?" Dalun Mingwang led He Pingsheng here: "Does it carry the flavor of those days?"

He Pingsheng nodded, walked slowly into the blacksmith's shop, picked up a hammer, and struck twice—clang, clang—and smiled: "Good, but things remain, people have changed!"

"That doesn't matter!"

Dalun Mingwang said: "I don't live here—I only come to visit when I feel nostalgic, just to pass the time!"

"He Pingsheng, He Pingsheng!"

"I have cultivated for over ten thousand years and have never been near any man!"

"Now, by some twist of fate, I've become your concubine—I wonder, have you taken advantage of me, or have I gained your fortune?"

"Sigh…"

Life is impermanent; nothing can be predicted.

He Pingsheng did not answer Dalun Mingwang's words—he lifted her into his arms and said: "Regardless, you are my woman!"

"All this talk is useless—I can't fathom it!"

"I don't want to contemplate fate!"

"Today, if I can understand you, that's enough!"

…

Ten years passed in a flash!

In these ten years, He Pingsheng did not enter seclusion—he simply spent time slowly with his children and family.

Of course, he wasn't entirely idle; in his free moments, he still pondered the 【Heavenly Talisman Dao Treasury】.

Now, he could draw sixth-rank talismans.

In these ten years, due to his cultivation level, he did not seek revenge against the Phoenix Clan.

Because even if he went, he could do nothing!

The Phoenix Clan also did not seek him out.

Both sides passed the time in quiet peace.

One day, He Pingsheng tore through the void and returned to the 【Tianwei Emperor Domain】 on Lei Huang Continent, arriving at his small shop.

His precious disciple Luo Bingyao had left again.

Where to? Unknown—she was just traveling again.

This girl rarely cultivated in seclusion; she wandered everywhere, and naturally broke through without effort.

Moreover, she never needed rare treasures or spiritual items to break through.

She never even hit a bottleneck.

Envy of countless others.

"Liu Daoist, how is it going?" He Pingsheng entered the small spiritual world where Liu Molin was.

Visible to the naked eye, two massive arrays filled this small world!

Both were golden.

One: Instant Time Array!

One: Hundred Gather Heavenly Light Array!

"All set up, hehehe…"

"Incredible!"

"He Daoist, when can you introduce me to your array master friend? He's simply too extraordinary!"

"I must meet him!"

Previously, this man had deciphered the array diagram of the Instant Time Array and gave He Pingsheng his own half-baked version.

He Pingsheng then strengthened it inside the Treasure Basin.

Then returned it to Liu Molin.

The same with the second array—the Hundred Gather Heavenly Light Array—he strengthened Liu Molin's original diagram and returned it.

He told Liu Molin that a friend skilled in arrays had revised them.

Liu Molin was awestruck, insisting he must meet He Pingsheng's friend.

Unfortunately, He Pingsheng could not bring him.

"Must you meet him?" He Pingsheng looked pained.

Liu Molin said: "I absolutely must meet him… He Daoist, you don't understand—I only reached eighth-rank array mastery because of your friend's guidance!"

"Hahaha… now I can independently set up an eighth-rank great array!"

"I must thank him in person!"

"And also ask him for clarification on some doubts!"

He Pingsheng shook his head: "Sorry… my friend is a female cultivator who swore never to meet any man again!"

"Except me!"

"Don't even think about it—I've asked her many times, and she always refused!"

"Don't put me in this position, okay?"

"Of course, if you ever face an unsolvable problem in arrays, I can still ask her to improve it for you!"

Liu Molin looked disappointed: "Is that so?"

He Pingsheng nodded.

"Huh…" After a long while, Liu Molin exhaled deeply: "Fine… if I can't see him, then I can't."

"He Daoist, do you have any other arrays?"

"May I study them?"

He Pingsheng: …

"Aren't you going to cultivate?" He Pingsheng said: "Raise your cultivation level—once you reach the peak of Mahayana Emperor Realm, you can ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

"Isn't becoming an Immortal better?"

"No rush!" Liu Molin said: "Once you reach Mahayana Emperor Realm, you have a hundred-thousand-year lifespan—cultivation can wait!"

He Pingsheng said: "I don't have any more arrays."

"But if you're willing, I have a sect—you could design an eighth-rank protective array for my sect!"

"Is… that acceptable?"

Liu Molin burst into laughter: "That's perfect! Hehe, I just broke through to eighth-rank and have never set up an eighth-rank array before!"

"Alright… I'll go take a look, put it into practice!"
