The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 637 Divine Weapon Shocks the Rainbow, the Celebration Ends

The grandmaster celebration of Gu Qingcheng, the pride of the Gu family, was completed in an extremely enthusiastic manner, with the first half of the ceremony taking place.

The source of all this excitement and commotion was the appearance of Chen Ping'an, the valiant swordsman.

Chen Ping'an, a prodigy on the Hidden Dragon List, a powerful figure in the Canglong Prefecture's Zhenfu Division, and currently the Chief Inspector of the Leiming Zhenfu Division, was granted the title of Senior Manager Candidate and was included in the Deputy Manager Preparatory Assessment Plan. He appeared at Gu Qingcheng's celebration.

With an extremely high profile, it soared up from the foot of Xiaopanshan Mountain and flew all the way to the cloud-covered summit!
The simple phrase, "This is Chen Ping'an from our company, congratulating my Daoist partner," sent shivers down the spines of countless people, leaving them speechless with emotion.

Daoist companion!

Let us walk the path together, hand in hand, as companions!
Yes!

Gu Qingcheng, the pride of the Gu family, is the Daoist partner of the ruthless swordsman Chen Ping'an!
The scene of the two, dressed in green robes and moon-colored skirts, embracing side by side, is destined to be etched in the hearts of countless people.

Only at this moment did some people realize they had been dreaming.

It turns out that even their beloved had a shy and affectionate moment!
That aloof moon palace fairy will eventually attract her destined lover.

Compared to the commotion around him, Chen Ping'an remained calm.

To be honest, holding Gu Qingcheng like this feels really wonderful.

However, whether something smells good or not is relative.

If Gu Qingcheng in his arms were less aloof and more affectionate, he might feel even more comfortable.

If the woman in his arms is truly affectionate and his actions of snuggling are genuine, then his sense of accomplishment might truly be off the charts.

just
All of today's actions are based on Gu Jia's calculations.

Chen Ping'an's actions just now were naturally at the behest of the Gu family elders.

Whether it was the deliberate waiting at the foot of the mountain, or the fleeting appearance at the climax, or...
His celebratory gesture during his visit!
That dazzling rainbow sword!

As a top-tier divine weapon, the Jinghong Sword has extremely unique features.

For a swordsman, it is an invaluable weapon for protection.

Gu Qingcheng possessed the Bright Moon Sword Technique, and in the past, even at the Profound Light Realm, she mastered this sword technique to perfection. She had extremely high attainments in swordsmanship.

It is naturally a perfect match for the Jinghong Sword.

Such a well-suited weapon could not possibly have been made by Chen Ping'an.

Although he is now very wealthy, most of his resources are hidden behind the scenes. While his apparent resources are also quite impressive, it is clearly too much of a stretch for him to produce a suitable divine weapon.

Given his current apparent resources, it wouldn't be outrageous for him to produce one or two powerful divine weapons. Even if he possesses high-quality divine weapons, it would still be within the normal range.

However, if it were a top-tier divine weapon, and it were given away as a gift, that would obviously be quite unlikely.

This Rainbow Sword was prepared by the Gu family!
It was prepared in advance, reviewed by the elders, and intended to be given to Gu Qingcheng.

As part of the Gu family's scheme, during this celebration, witnessed by everyone, it was given away through the hands of Gu family's husband, the ruthless Chen Ping'an.

This move was part of the Gu family's scheme, a crucial step specifically designed to address public opinion in the state capital.

In Canglong Prefecture, nothing generates more buzz and attention than top-tier divine weapons.

At the promotion celebration of Gu Qingcheng, the pride of the Gu family, the ruthless swordsman Chen Ping'an presented her with a top-tier divine weapon, an event that naturally generated a great deal of buzz.

These kinds of topics don't need any special hype to ignite public opinion in the city.

The value of a top-tier divine weapon is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Let alone ordinary people, even for grandmaster families who have accumulated power for many years, such a protective divine weapon is probably just a pipe dream.

When the entire clan mobilizes to devise a top-tier divine weapon, failure is the norm.

Those who practice martial arts are experienced and knowledgeable, and they know all too well the value of such treasures.

For a newly promoted grandmaster, even an ordinary divine weapon requires careful planning. For ordinary grandmasters with limited resources and no established foundation, the absence of a divine weapon to protect them is the norm in cultivation.

Only by spending more time and accumulating more experience as one progresses to the Grandmaster level can one have the possibility of possessing a divine weapon.

This applies to divine weapons, and even more so to powerful divine weapons. Generally, only top-tier grandmasters have the potential to possess powerful divine weapons.

Only by reaching the Grandmaster realm can one truly claim to possess a powerful divine weapon.

At least half of the Grandmasters primarily use powerful divine weapons for combat. Only a very small number possess high-quality, top-tier powerful divine weapons.

As for top-tier divine weapons, one generally needs to reach at least the level of a Grandmaster to possess them.

Only a very few might be able to obtain it through special privileges, such as top-tier grandmasters whose combat power is not quite at the pinnacle but who have lived for many years and made outstanding contributions. Or they might be the descendants of truly top-tier nobles and powerful families.

For a newly promoted grandmaster, possessing a top-tier divine weapon is simply a pipe dream.

Even a prestigious family like the Gu family is no exception.

Ordinary clansmen, let alone those who have broken through to the Grandmaster realm, might not even receive this treatment. In recent years, only Gu Qingchan of the Ice Soul Divine Needle has been able to enjoy this honor.

After breaking through to the Grandmaster realm, he received a gift from his family: the top-tier divine weapon, Snow Soul Silk.

Compared to Gu Qingchan, Gu Qingcheng receiving a top-tier divine weapon is undoubtedly more extravagant.

With Gu Qingcheng's power and the assistance of top-tier divine weapons, her combat strength is probably immeasurable.

"Top-tier divine weapon!"

Master Musang looked at Gu Qingcheng from afar, a hint of regret on his face.

He has been a Grandmaster for many years and has made great contributions to the Mu family, but so far he has only obtained one powerful divine weapon.

Gu Qingcheng, having just broken through to the next realm, already possessed something he could only dream of.

With Gu Qingcheng's talent and intelligence, if she were to obtain this divine weapon, her combat power would likely become extremely exaggerated.

As early as the Profound Light Realm, some people speculated that Gu Qingcheng might possess power comparable to a formal Grandmaster.

Now that he has broken through to the Grandmaster realm, he has transformed his true qi into true essence, greatly increasing his killing power. Even if his swordsmanship, skills, techniques, and secret arts have not improved at all, he naturally possesses the top level of the early stage of the Jade Balance realm.

If she had a divine weapon to rely on, even if she could only borrow a small portion of its power, it would be enough to push her combat strength to the level of the mid-stage of the Jade Balance Realm!
This
This was despite Gu Qingcheng's talent and skills not showing any improvement whatsoever.

The problem is, given Gu Qingcheng's talent and abilities, after breaking through to the Grandmaster realm, will her skills and techniques have absolutely no combat achievements?

The sigh on Mu Sang Dao Ren's face deepened, and his gaze shifted, landing on Mang Dao beside Gu Qing Cheng.

His eyes were solemn, and his thoughts were difficult to express.

"The waves of time push the old waves forward, and a new generation replaces the old!"

With so many eyes on him, Chen Ping'an could not escape his senses.

However, he was prepared for this and naturally didn't care too much.

In any case, today's actions are all part of a scheme orchestrated by the Gu family.

His actions were like this, and Gu Qingcheng's actions will probably be the same.

Sure enough, the idea that a domineering aura can instantly win the heart of a beauty, who will throw herself into your arms and become your lover is all a lie.

The real-life scenario is never that simple.

Chen Ping'an smiled, a similar thought flashing through his mind.

While inhaling the beauty's unique fragrance, Chen Ping'an's thoughts were ultimately preoccupied with other matters.

As one of the highest-ranking officials in charge of this celebration, Elder Lan sat in a high position on the cloud platform, looking at Gu Qingcheng nestled in Chen Ping'an's arms with slight surprise.

However, after a short while, a smile appeared on her face.

As previously stated, they hadn't intentionally included this part. Their plan was for the two to stand side-by-side on the cloud platform, with Mang Dao reaching into his robes—that would be the perfect ending.

There was no scene where Gu Qingcheng nestled into his arms.

but now
Looking at the beautiful couple standing together in front of her, Old Lady Lan smiled broadly, like a doting aunt. The sweet romance between the younger generation is truly something to look forward to!

Chen Ping'an and Gu Qingcheng did not embrace for long. As the elders of the Gu family presided over the ceremony, he released Gu Qingcheng from his arms.

Gu Qingcheng was aloof and indifferent, her expression unreadable.

Chen Ping'an smiled warmly, nodded slightly, and then sat down in the seat that the Gu family had prepared in advance.

Gu Qingcheng's eyes were cold and clear as she silently sat down beside him, dressed in a moon-colored gown.

Although the two did not speak, their demeanor and gestures made them appear to outsiders as a loving couple who had been together for many years, their affection unspoken and their understanding natural.

The procedures and rituals in the latter half of the process did not require Gu Qingcheng's cooperation and proceeded in an orderly manner under the supervision of the Gu family elders.

Amidst the surrounding chaos, Chen Ping'an sat calmly on the cloud platform atop the mountain, undisturbed by external things.

Although he could not practice his cultivation techniques while seated here, it did not hinder his self-understanding and accumulation of knowledge.

The martial arts techniques he learned were quite diverse, encompassing fist, palm, finger, leg, sword, spear, and saber techniques, as well as external training and body tempering methods. Through this extensive accumulation, his understanding of martial arts became extremely rich. Having reached the first stage of his breakthrough, his martial arts prowess was beyond the imagination of others.

With Chen Ping'an's current accumulation of knowledge and skills, if he wanted to, he could calm down and study it carefully, spending some years, and perhaps create a powerful and extraordinary martial art.

With such attainments, he naturally possesses a commanding perspective, surpassing the vast majority of grandmasters!

Chen Ping'an's knowledge was quite diverse. In addition to utilizing the effects of the cheat system, he always paid special attention to accumulating and comparing various cultivation techniques. According to his plan, as cultivation progressed, it became not only about the power of individual techniques, but also about one's own combat system.

No matter how powerful a martial art is, if it has weaknesses, it may be difficult for an ordinary martial arts practitioner to detect those weaknesses. Even against some experienced practitioners, while they may be able to detect the weaknesses, they may not be able to find a countermeasure or solution.

However, this line of thinking completely changes once one reaches the realm of martial arts mastery!

Martial arts masters possess long lifespans, accumulating a vast array of techniques, secret arts, and protective methods over countless years. If one can discern an opponent's weakness, there is a high probability of finding a corresponding countermeasure.

For martial arts masters, the measure of overall combat strength depends more on their weaknesses than their strengths.

Unless, of course, there is a qualitative difference in their martial arts realm and cultivation level.

When skill levels are equal and techniques are comparable, this is what is used as a reference.

Although Chen Ping'an has not yet achieved perfect harmony with nature and entered the realm of martial arts mastery, his golden finger panel has paved a smooth path to the heavens, and he is destined to reach this realm in the future. He had already planned for this.

One needs to refine oneself and establish an effective martial arts system.

The various techniques complement, coordinate, and unify with each other, thus achieving a comprehensive establishment of the martial arts system.

In normal combat, one does not rely solely on any particular method or secret technique, but rather on one's own martial arts system to defeat the enemy with a flawless and seamless approach.

Only those who reach such a level can be called masters of martial arts!
He is a Martial Dao Celestial Being, a Celestial Martial Lord!
Such a level of skill, if compared to a master forging craftsman, is equivalent to a master craftsman.

"I respectfully report to Heaven and pray for the protection of our ancestors."

On Xiaopan Mountain, the sounds of the Gu family elders' rituals echoed in all directions.

Chen Ping'an sat attentively, looking completely at ease.

Cloud-covered plateau atop the mountain, mountain platform, mountainside, foot of the mountain.
The expressions of those attending the ceremony varied, and their thoughts were diverse.

Amidst everyone's thoughts, the promotion celebration gradually came to an end.

Mu Qingyao sat on the platform below, looking at the back of the burly swordsman Chen Ping'an, and the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed.

Mu Qingyao bit her lower lip lightly, her expression somewhat dazed.

Mu Chenjie, who was standing to the side, had gradually recovered from the shock of the previous scene. But what awaited him now was an even greater disbelief.

"he is."

Mu Chenjie's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Berserk Blade!"

Wang Siyuan, gentle and refined, sat at the table, raising his cup to drink alone. Only a fleeting moment of melancholy betrayed his truest thoughts.

Xue Zirou's long hair was tied up, with a hairpin casually draped to one side. She gazed at the back of the mangyo on the cloud platform, her expression somewhat complicated.

"What's going on!?"

Xue Guangyu, standing to the side, looked surprised and somewhat bewildered.

From the very beginning, the boss has always looked like this.

He tentatively reached out and waved his hand in front of Xue Zirou.

"Sister-in-law?"

This resulted in Xue Zirou giving her a cold, indifferent look.

Xue Guangyu was so frightened that he shivered and felt a chill run down his spine.

That boss's gaze is so fierce!

Amidst the turmoil from all sides, the celebration finally came to a close.

However, after the celebration ended, the guests and representatives of various factions who had attended did not leave one by one. Instead, they immediately attended a celebratory banquet.

For the vast majority of forces, the promotion celebration of Gu Qingcheng, the prodigy of the Gu family, was not just a simple celebration, but also a stage for all of them to socialize and make their fortunes.

The lower class has its own way of life, the middle class has its own way of life, and the upper class naturally has its own circle.

Relationships between high-level officials need to be maintained at all times.

If one leaves a social circle, it often signifies a decline in social class.

Such occasions are particularly important for those who hover around the upper echelons of society. In these situations, they must exert every effort to ensure their social standing remains secure and to maintain normal interactions within their circles.

Therefore, even if some of the attendees were forced to attend, every effort must be made to delay until the banquet ends.

Sometimes, making an appearance in the world of fame and fortune is more effective than visiting someone a hundred times in private!

This is a symbolic book of class and a substantial embodiment of power.

Of course, these things are basically irrelevant to Chen Ping'an. He is currently stationed in Leiming, wielding great power of supervision, and is ranked among the rising stars of the Hidden Dragon Prodigy, a unique position among the younger generation in Canglong Prefecture and the surrounding prefectures.

Even including the older generation of powerful figures, he is undoubtedly a top-tier giant. Moreover, he is only one step away from becoming a true top-tier giant.

Even the leaders of the top powers in those states had to greet him with a warm smile and engage in friendly negotiations. As for the powerful elders below them, they had to be even more respectful and courteous.

Compared to the daytime celebrations, the atmosphere at the dinner was much more relaxed. People moved about freely, each with a wine glass in hand.

As Gu Qingcheng's future husband and a powerful figure in the state, Chen Ping'an was naturally one of the most eye-catching people present.

He held a wine glass, smiling gently, exchanging pleasantries and greetings with everyone present.

In almost every scenario, people from all sides would proactively step forward to greet him respectfully. Some would approach him directly with a cup in hand, while others would find a familiar guarantor and introduce them to each other.

"Lord Chen, you are truly a young man of great talent, putting us all to shame!"

"Lord Chen is a high-ranking official, and his name is widely known. It is truly an honor to meet him today."

"Lord Chen, I'd like to offer you a toast!"

"."

Looking at Chen Ping'an, who was in the center of attention, many people had mixed feelings and inexplicable emotions.

Although they had been Grandmasters for many years and were renowned, they were still considered marginal figures in the true upper echelons of society. In contrast, Mang Dao had broken through to the Grandmaster realm in just one year and had already crossed over to the center of the circle, showing signs of entering an even higher level.

During the pleasantries and greetings, Daoist Musang stepped forward with a wine cup in hand to offer his regards.

"Lord Chen, it's been a long time since I last saw you; you're even more impressive now."

Master Musang, with a ruddy complexion and white hair, was in high spirits, with a smile on his face, followed by several younger members of his family.
