Chapter 968

Previously, the body cultivation techniques He Pingsheng practiced—whether Nine Poison Golden Body or Bathing Flame Golden Body Scripture—were passive.

They could only cultivate the body.

For example, only when one’s cultivation reached Mahayana Emperor Realm Level One could one begin training the Mahayana section.

Once one’s cultivation caught up, further progress became impossible.

But the Chaos Golden Scripture was different.

This technique followed the path of the Witch Clan’s cultivation, also known as body cultivation.

Practicing the Chaos Golden Scripture could break through one’s cultivation limit; in other words, this could be used as a primary staple.

At this very moment, He Pingsheng was covered in karmic debt, unable to comprehend the Dao, unable to break through Dao barriers, unable to raise his cultivation.

Yet if he cultivated the Chaos Golden Scripture now, he could follow the body cultivation path and continue breaking through.

He could completely ignore the influence of karmic debt.

Too amazing!

“Made just for me?” He Pingsheng didn’t stop—he kept cultivating!

A month later, his Chaos Golden Scripture body cultivation advanced another level, reaching Soul Transformation.

At this time, Liu Molin had finished setting up his Concealment Array.

“Comrade He… hehehe… Look, this fully meets your requirements!”

On Gu Song Mountain, Liu Molin pointed to the newly set-up array and explained: “The energy inside won’t leak out, but external energy can enter the array!”

“Is this suitable?”

He Pingsheng didn’t know—he thought for a moment and said: “Wait outside this array for me. I’ll go in and test it!”

After entering the array, He Pingsheng immediately pulled out a [Qianyuan Golden Dipper]!

He now had two Qianyuan Golden Dippers, identical in every way.

Perhaps because the original [Qianyuan Golden Dipper] was already top-tier quality, the Treasure Basin’s enhancement didn’t alter its inherent properties—only duplicated it into two.

This was thanks to He Pingsheng’s good fortune.

If the Qianyuan Golden Dipper hadn’t been top-tier, and the enhancement turned it into two half-baked imitations, he’d have no way to explain it to Judge Cui Jue!

Hummm…

After the Qianyuan Golden Dipper flew out, no activation was needed—it instantly expanded to a hundred zhang in size, soared into the void, and slowly rotated, emitting golden light.

Invisible forces of cosmic fortune were drawn from outside the array, converging into the golden dipper.

According to Judge Cui Jue, this device required three thousand years to fully accumulate.

No problem!

Wait.

After placing the golden dipper inside, He Pingsheng stepped out of the array!

Then he spread his spiritual sense across the heavens and earth—and found not a single trace of the golden dipper’s aura leaking out.

“Excellent!” He Pingsheng nodded in satisfaction: “Liu, you’re very good!”

“I’m very satisfied with this array!”

“But…” he looked at Liu Molin and said: “I have another set of array materials here!”

“Take a look!”

As he spoke, He Pingsheng tossed the enhanced array materials before Liu Molin.

Liu Molin studied them with reverent focus; after about an incense stick’s time, he exclaimed in shock: “Comrade He, this is also the Nine Palaces Infinite Array—but this array disc is vastly superior to mine!”

“I I I…”

“Hey, compared to this, mine’s garbage!”

“No good!”

“I’ll tear it down!”

“I’ll rebuild it for you using these better materials!”

He Pingsheng quickly grabbed the old man and said: “Liu, calm down… your array is fine, no need to tear it down!”

“But I need you to take these materials to Jinku Emperor City on the Western Extreme Continent and have my son He Tianya find a spot to set up another Nine Palaces Infinite Array there!”

“I have a use for it.”

“Is that possible?”

“Of course!” Liu Molin puffed out his chest: “Alright, Comrade He, rest assured—I’ll go right away. Give me a month, and I’ll have it done!”

With that, Liu Molin left immediately.

Watching Liu Molin depart, He Pingsheng nodded: both Qianyuan Golden Dippers now had their purpose.

As for Liu Molin, He Pingsheng had never exploited him.

Since helping Liu Molin break through to Mahayana Emperor Realm until now, nearly a thousand years had passed.

In those thousand years, He Pingsheng had only asked him to set up a few arrays—otherwise, the man was free to do as he pleased.

His cultivation had also improved in recent years, reaching Mahayana Emperor Realm Level Four.

Though slow, improvement was still improvement, wasn’t it?

Now came the waiting.

Another month later, He Pingsheng finally placed the second Qianyuan Golden Dipper into the array.

This array on the Western Extreme Continent was located in Jinku Emperor City, not far from his son He Tianya’s cultivation grounds.

He Tianya was now the ruler of the Western Extreme Continent, so placing the array near him posed no issue.

Would it drain his son’s cosmic fortune?

No.

The Qianyuan Golden Dipper absorbed cosmic fortune from heaven and earth—not any individual’s fortune.

After placing the Qianyuan Golden Dipper into the array, He Pingsheng returned to Gu Song Mountain.

After all, he needed to watch over the Qianyuan Golden Dipper here.

He guarded the Qianyuan Golden Dipper while entering seclusion to cultivate.

He channeled the Chaos Golden Scripture to absorb the Phoenix blood essence.

Forty-four years later, He Pingsheng drained hundreds of vats of blood essence—his Chaos Golden Scripture finally reached Body Integration peak.

He was still some distance from Mahayana Emperor Realm.

But his strength and physical resilience had greatly improved.

He couldn’t afford to idle now—he pulled out the corpse of the Phoenix Emperor he had preserved and began refining its blood essence.

But before he could finish refining the Emperor’s blood essence, Luo Bingyao rushed over in a panic.

“Master… big news!”

“Master, Master…”

He Pingsheng looked at Luo Bingyao with annoyance: “I’m right here. It’s just the two of us—speak softly, I can hear you. I’m not deaf!”

“Hehehe…” Luo Bingyao chuckled: “I’m just excited!”

“Master, the Crimson Lotus True Flame has appeared!”

“What?” He Pingsheng drew a deep breath: “Crimson Lotus True Flame?”

This was truly good news!

Crimson Lotus True Flame, one of the Ten Primordial True Flames, possessed the ability to cleanse karmic light.

He Pingsheng and Jin Ku were both covered in karmic light—perfectly suited.

Perfect!

“Where?” he asked.

Luo Bingyao said: “In the southernmost part of the Juyan Mountain Range on the Heavenly Fire Continent… Master, hurry! Word is, people are already fighting over it!”

“I got the news and came straight to tell you!”

“Good!” He Pingsheng no longer hesitated—he checked the map, confirmed the location of the Juyan Mountain Range on the southern edge of the Heavenly Fire Continent, then ripped open the void and stepped in: “Bingyao, watch this array—no one is allowed to enter!”

“Not even you!”

Before leaving, He Pingsheng reminded Luo Bingyao to guard the array.
