The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 657 Thunderous Mountains, The Final Miracle (Seeking monthly votes~)

Thunder Mountain Range, Blood Owl Gang.

"Dissent will be killed without mercy?"

A blood-red chair, sat angrily by a madman.

"What arrogance!" He slammed his hand on the large chair, causing a jolt to those around him.

The madman wore leather armor, revealing a pair of incredibly strong arms. A ferocious blood owl pattern was branded onto his arms like a mark.

"Master, please calm down. That ignorant brat is utterly clueless. Why take his words to heart?" A burly man with a thick beard spoke up to comfort him. The man was nine feet tall, and although he was sitting on a large chair, he looked like an iron tower from a distance.

"Boss, let me go and take off Mang Dao's head so I can serve you some wine."

The person speaking sat on the other side, with a fierce face and ruthless eyes, like a demon devouring souls.

He wore a ring of animal bones on his hands, inlaid with several sharp animal teeth, which gleamed with a chilling light.

Hearing the two men's words, the madman's anger gradually subsided.

"Go ask the other families what they mean! The thunderous momentum will be decided by the five of us!"

"Yes, Gang Leader!"

Below, a bloodthirsty, angry man pats his chest and bows in salute.

However, he had only gone halfway when the gang leader called him back.

"Take that man's head and show them the Blood Owl Gang's stance!"

"Yes!" the angry man roared, his voice like thunder.

"Hahaha, good lad!" The madman laughed loudly, picked up a jar of wine with one hand, and drank it down with gusto.

The spilled liquor made the thugs watching with envy.

"Boss, I'll keep you company." With a flick of his wrist, a jar of wine appeared in his hand. He lifted it up and drank it down with gusto.

The liquor soaked his hair, and he laughed heartily, not caring at all.

The burly man with a thick beard standing nearby, though not drinking, was also enjoying the scene before him.

Although he felt that the gang leader's actions were somewhat inappropriate, the matter was already settled, and there was no need to say more.

He's just a messenger lackey; even if I kill him, what difference does it make?
Thunder Mountains, Black Spirit Gate
"What a reckless brute!" The black-haired elder stood in the hall: "He killed my Black Spirit Sect's young master and elders, and yet he dares to send a letter!"

"Sect Master, Mang Dao has been rude. Please calm down."

"We solemnly warn all parties: Where did he get the audacity?!"

"Too deceiving!"

"."

A letter from the Thunderous Town Pacification Division made the elders of the Black Spirit Sect grit their teeth in anger.

However, compared to the Blood Owl Gang's one-sided decision, the Black Spirit Gate had its share of rational opinions.

"Please calm down, everyone. This action by Mang Dao is utterly incomprehensible. He must have some kind of strength to rely on."

"Rely on? He's a newcomer, what could he possibly rely on?!"

Even so, many people still heeded his wise words.

Their previous anger stemmed not only from the outrageous nature of Mang Dao's actions, but also from the death of the young sect leader and elder.

Now that I've calmed down, I've started to think things through quietly.

"Ask the other families what their attitudes are. Also, send a message to the man in black robes and ask Wu Benqing what he really means. We agreed not to interfere with each other before, so why is he acting like this now? If he doesn't give our sect an explanation, don't blame us for being ruthless."

As for the reckless swordsman, let's ignore him for now! We'll wait for the other factions to clarify their stance!

After a moment's thought, the old man with black hair set the tone for the matter.

"Yes, Master."

Thunder Mountain Range, Left Path Alliance.

"Those who harbor dissent will be killed without mercy! Those who disagree will be killed without mercy! Kill! Kill! Kill! They dare to threaten my Left Path Alliance!"

"Ignorant child, unaware of the vastness of the world!"

"Our Left Path Alliance has many powerful figures, do you really think the Thunderous Suppression Division would dare to do anything to us!?"

"In my opinion, we should seize this opportunity to go and demand an explanation! We should ask that brute what crime he committed by killing an elder of our Left Path Alliance!"

"Tch tch tch old ghost, you can ask if you want, I'm not going."

"You little brat, you're as cowardly as a mouse! I'm ashamed to associate with you!"

"Old ghost, why are you getting so worked up? I'm not stopping you! What? You're too scared to do it alone? Tch tch tch."

"You don't need to provoke me! Do you really think I wouldn't dare?"

"Tch tch tch, the hidden genius of Canglong Prefecture, the Zhenfu Division treats him like a treasure. If you really ask, they'll know how he died!"

"Having roamed the world for many years, why would I fear a mere brute! I have no personal relationship with that green-faced man; if anyone should be sent, it should be that withered-wood fellow!"

"Old ghost, are you scared?"

"Noisy!"

"."

Compared to other forces, the Leftist Alliance has more voices, and the overall discussion atmosphere is more disordered.

Within the Thunder Mountain Range, among the five top powers, the two major alliances stand out for their combined strength. However, the composition of these alliances is rather chaotic, and their management is loose. Although there are many experts within each alliance, they often find it difficult to consider issues from the same perspective. This frequently leads to significant internal friction when making important management decisions.

This also resulted in the two alliances being strong, but their overall influence within the Thunder Mountains was roughly equal to that of the other parties.

"Old monster! What's your opinion!" a sharp-toothed woman asked. Her skin was sallow, and her voice was shrill and unpleasant.

"What objections could there be! The Zhenfu Division is so provocative, let's teach them a lesson!" The speaker was an old man with wrinkled skin, like the bark of a thousand-year-old tree.

The old man's hair was dry and yellow, and from a distance he looked like a tree stump.

"Old man, where are you?" The woman looked to the other side, where a green-skinned old man was hidden under the dim green light.

"Give him a lesson!" the old man said succinctly, his voice like the cry of a night bird.

Within the Left Path Alliance, although there are many voices, when the group is humiliated, their stance is mostly united against external forces. Although the Left Path Alliance is loosely managed, most of those who join are looking for a powerful backer for their gang.

Most people can't stand being treated like this. If they could, why would they stick together?

Within the Left Path Alliance, there are many masters of the Left Path, who practice left-path techniques. Their methods are unpredictable, and they come up with all sorts of strange moves one after another.

The sharp-toothed woman, the withered old man, the green-skinned old man, the black-haired old ghost, and the tiny little devil are all masters of unorthodox methods!

If they reach a consensus, the overall attitude of the Leftist Alliance is self-evident.

Thunder Mountain Range, Heretical Alliance.

"Those who harbor evil spirits will be punished as accomplices? Excellent, very good!"

"Wu Benqing has quite the arrogance!"

"It's probably not Wu Benqing! The person who made this decision is someone else!"

"Who?"

"Berserk Blade!"

"Ignorant brat, how dare you bark and howl!"

"So arrogant, who does he think he is?"

"He deserves to be annoyed! He deserves to be furious! He deserves to be killed!"

"You dare to be so presumptuous! You killed an elder of our Heretical Alliance, and we've already let it go, but you still dare to be so insolent!"

"."

The members of the Heretical Alliance were indignant. However, after a brief outburst, some rational individuals gradually calmed down.

Clearly, they still harbored some fear of Mang Dao, this renowned rising star.

It wasn't just because of Chen Ping'an's strength, but also because of the aura of a rising star among prodigies. A rising star signifies honor, and also weight!

Both are powerful figures in the Thunderous Garrison, but in the eyes of the Azure Dragon Garrison, the weight of the Brute Chen Ping'an is definitely higher than that of Wu Benqing!

"What exactly is this madman planning! How could he be so arrogant!" Someone's eyes were grave. "Could it be..."

Someone not far in front of him also realized something. When they looked up, their eyes met, and they both saw the answer in each other's eyes.

"The Gu family!"

Besides being a powerful figure in the state and a rising star, Chen Ping'an, the "Wild Blade," has another identity: the son-in-law of the Gu family, the number one family in Canglong State.

Mang Dao's arrogance and harsh words likely have the Gu family's influence behind him!

They may not fear the brute force, but they cannot afford to fear the Gu family! With the Gu family's power, even a slight tilt in their favor is something that their individual forces cannot withstand!

"Quickly, go and check if the Gu family has made any moves!" someone shouted, giving urgent orders.

"Also, check what the other companies' attitudes are. Verify everything from multiple angles, so you don't get sold out without even knowing it!"

Some, with their meticulous minds, considered even more possibilities. Many speculations even leaned towards conspiracy theories. Within these alliances and alliances, scheming and division were rampant.

If the Gu family has influence, the other forces in the Thunder Mountain Range might also have ulterior motives. While they might not necessarily turn against you, their underlying schemes are likely not to be underestimated.

While the five families share a unified stance outside the Thunder Mountain Range, internally they are also rife with competition and scheming.

Mang Dao's actions undoubtedly stirred up a storm within the Outer Path Alliance. However, just as they were debating, they received news that an elder from the Blood Owl Gang had arrived.

Accompanying the Blood Owl Gang elders were messengers from the Thunderous Town Pacification Division.
a head.

"This..." someone exclaimed in surprise, not expecting the Blood Owl Gang to pull such a stunt.

"This madman, what audacity! He even dares to kill a messenger envoy?"

"The Blood Owl Gang are madmen, what wouldn't they dare to do!"

"It seems the Blood Owl Gang's stance is quite clear. Gentlemen, what about us?"

"Apart from Lei Ming, we stand united!"

“They’ve got the envoy’s head, interesting!” someone said with a smile.

"Then this is a good opportunity to see the reaction of the Thunderous Garrison!"

"Hahaha, I told you you were worrying unnecessarily! This 'Mangdao' is all bark and no bite! All that noise and noise, and in the end they'll still have to back down and talk to us properly!"

"The best strategy is to outwit the enemy! These are just probing moves; raising the bar makes it easier to negotiate. Unfortunately, I'm afraid we'll have to disappoint him!"

"With the Blood Owl Gang charging ahead, our Heretical Alliance will naturally not lag behind!"

"Don't be impatient, let's observe and see!"

"What are you waiting for?! If you don't seize such a good opportunity, what are you waiting for?!"

"The Gu family!"

"Ahem. We really need to wait and see."

"."

Compared to the factions and sects, the atmosphere within the Outer Path Alliance was quite different. However, with the Blood Owl Gang setting an example, the overall tone within the Outer Path Alliance was undoubtedly clear. Only in terms of specific methods of operation did differences emerge to varying degrees, leading to significant disputes among the members.

Ultimately, after weighing all factors, a more moderate and compromise-oriented solution was determined.

If the major powers in the Thunder Mountain Range acted this way, then under their influence, the attitudes of the other large, medium, and small powers would naturally be similar.

The arrogant and conceited Mang Dao intended to intimidate them with words and expect them to participate in the Thunderous Garrison without lifting a finger. This was utterly impossible.

Let alone participating in it and becoming an ally of the Zhenfu Division, even keeping them neutral would require the Zhenfu Division to pay a price.

Otherwise, what are they trying to achieve by coming all this way for nothing?

With the stance of the five top powers in the Thunder Mountain Range in hand, the smaller and medium-sized powers below naturally became even more unscrupulous.

Within the Thunder Mountain Range, a diverse and complex place, towering peaks and unique terrain, countless past events had shown them that the Thunder Town Command alone could not possibly carry out such a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation.

Even with the involvement of the Canglong Prefecture Garrison Command, a complete victory would be difficult. Furthermore, this process would require a massive expenditure of manpower, resources, and funds; given the vast resources available, the Canglong Prefecture Garrison Command might not be willing to make such a decision.

Furthermore, they possess smuggling channels, amassed substantial profits, and have intricate connections behind them, making them extremely perceptive of the situation.

Clearly, the Canglong Prefecture Garrison Command had no intention of getting involved in this incident. The only entity truly handling this matter was the Leiming Garrison Command.

Moreover, Leiming is not what it used to be. With evil spirits causing chaos, the Leiming Suppression Division is already exhausted and would not dare to offend them.

I believe the Leiming Town Pacification Division can clearly distinguish between the primary and secondary contradictions.

If these brutes want to sit down and talk, they're happy to. But if they want to discuss those vague and unrealistic things, then don't blame them for not keeping them company!
If they go too far, they won't hesitate to use their own methods!

This thunderous sky, though nominally belonging to the Zhenfu Division, is also theirs!

Without their control over the numerous interests of the Thunder Mountain Range, how could the Zhenfu Division possibly accomplish this alone?
Some remained calm, awaiting Chen Ping'an's surrender. Others plotted amongst themselves, waiting for the day of discussion. But only a very few felt uneasy and anxious.

"Have all the families in the mountains replied?" Wu Benqing asked lazily, reclining on a large chair.

This matter was temporarily handed over to Chen Ping'an, the ruthless swordsman, who suddenly found himself with some free time. He only needed to oversee the overall situation from behind the scenes and occasionally gather information; that would be sufficient.

"My lord, not yet!"

Wu Benqing smiled, extremely satisfied with the answer.

Ten days have passed and no news has come. The attitudes of the various families in the Thunder Mountain Range are already quite clear.

"My lord, this matter has been widely discussed in the city recently. Do you think we should step in and stop it?"

"No need," Wu Benqing waved his hand. "Just provide guidance! Assume this matter will succeed. There's no need to rush. Just wait for good news."

"Yes!" The trusted subordinate bowed respectfully and quickly left.

"Chen Ping'an, you have no advantage in terms of public opinion or the general trend. What do you have to fight me with?" Wu Benqing sneered, his eyes mocking.

Sometimes, learning to let go is also a form of strategic maneuvering.

The higher you lift Chen Ping'an up, the harder he'll fall!

When the thunderous backlash struck, Mang Dao was caught off guard and mishandled the situation, triggering impeachments from all sides. He then seized the opportunity to take action and restore order to the government!
This move not only dealt a blow to Mang Dao, but also solidified his prestige. Furthermore, even if the Canglong Prefecture Garrison found out afterward, with this merit, they would be unable to touch him in the slightest.

This is a win-win-win situation!
The Gu family and other clans were naturally paying close attention to the reactions in the Thunder Mountain Range. Initially, they were somewhat worried, fearing that Mang Dao might have some hidden tricks up his sleeve. However, as time went on, their anxiety gradually subsided.

"You brute! Power isn't child's play; it can't be achieved with just words!"

"Sometimes, the harsher you speak, the more you expose your weakness. You're all bark and no bite!"

"Gentlemen, let's wait and see. Before long, the great trend will be accomplished."

"Hahaha, ignorant brat, what do you have to fight me with!"

"."

The current situation is beneficial to their industry. Through a tacit understanding, they have carried out a selection process, thereby increasing their share of profits.

The chaos has led to the loss of a large portion of the interests of small and medium-sized forces.

Before the interests in the industry are fully consolidated, they naturally hope that the chaos will continue for as long as possible.

Mangdao's actions undoubtedly affected their interests.

Unfortunately, the arrogant and domineering Mang Dao failed to grasp the main issue. While the remnants of the evil forces remained unmoved, he stirred up trouble among various factions in the Thunderous Mountains. He might have used other methods, but instead, he resorted to the least intimidating form of verbal intimidation.

It's laughable when you really do it!
In this game, they have the advantage of timing, location, and popular support; how could they possibly lose?!
Besides the major powers in Leiming, some small and medium-sized forces affected by the chaos, as well as some ordinary people, were full of expectations for Chen Ping'an's actions.

However, as time went by and the Thunder Mountains remained silent, their expectations dwindled.

They desperately hoped that a strong ruler would appear, restore order, and sweep away the filth and corruption of Lei Ming.

but now
It has indeed been disappointing time and time again.

Even at this time, when the Thunderous Garrison issued a message to guide public opinion and urge them to wait patiently, the wise among them saw through the truth and held no further expectations.

However, a large number of people were still influenced by the newly emerging public opinion and their confidence was rekindled.

"Master Chen is mighty!"

"Lord Chen will surely win!"

"Reclaim the glory of thunder!"

hum~
In the meditation room, Chen Ping'an sat cross-legged and slowly opened his eyes.

Name: Chen Ping'an
Realm: Late stage of Jade Balance - Breakthrough three stages (Nurturing the Divine Soul)
武学：青阳血炼法入门（0/5760）颠鸾倒凤·阴阳枢入门（0/8640）、太虚御风步小成（0/5760）七杀天罡拳小成（65/3840）、霸刀大成（659/3200）、七绝神功圆满、万魔铸身诀圆满
The ten days or so of training greatly benefited Chen Ping'an.

With the blessing of the Snow Spirit Leaf, his speed in cultivating the Overlord Blade was much faster than before.

Previously, after Chen Ping'an had mastered the Taixu Wind Control Steps to a minor level, he began to consider the cultivation techniques he would focus on next.

After careful consideration, he prioritized the cultivation method of the Overlord Blade.

Compared to the Seven Killing Heavenly Fist and the Void Wind Control Step, the Overlord Blade's technique is not of such a high grade. However, it is still the method he can openly display. Previously, he had shown that the Overlord Blade was close to the level of mastery. If the situation is unfavorable in dealing with the Thunder incident, he may have to show the level of mastery of the Overlord Blade.

This means that the level of skill that Ba Dao has shown on the surface is already equivalent to his true skill level.

In order to increase the means that can be adjusted and revealed in the open, Chen Ping'an naturally had to think about it early.

Therefore, it is imperative to cultivate the Overlord Blade technique as soon as possible.

In addition, the experience required for this cultivation method is also the fastest way to break through to higher realms. Once he cultivates the Overbearing Path to perfection, he can also master the ultimate secret technique of this cultivation method.

From this perspective, choosing to prioritize training the Overlord Blade is the most cost-effective option.

According to Chen Ping'an's plan, once he finishes cultivating the Overlord Blade, he will focus his energy on the Seven Killing Heavenly Fist, striving to comprehend two more killing fist techniques as soon as possible.

As his martial arts prowess improves, he increasingly needs more powerful killing moves. The methods he previously relied on as trump cards are now at risk of becoming obsolete.

The earliest techniques, such as Xunfeng Finger and Lihuo Finger, are self-evident, and even Zhenlei Finger is just a conventional method.

For Chen Ping'an, the killing fist techniques of the Seven Killing Heavenly Fist were an excellent choice.

If he were to further enhance his physical strength, he would undoubtedly be able to unleash even greater power.

In addition, there is the ultimate divine power of the Azure Flame Four Directions Command Flag, the berserk buff. There is also the remaining share of Millennium Stone Milk, and the real trump card, the bloodline divine power after the first refinement of the Azure Sun Blood Refining Method is completed.

Having mentioned this matter, he needed to process the blood required for the second round of refining as soon as possible.

The Azure Sun Blood Refining Technique, as a body-tempering secret method, can be practiced simultaneously with other cultivation techniques he possesses. Leaving it idle like this would be a serious waste.

He can currently fill this time gap by refining divine weapons and such. However, if those matters are not handled properly, then all this time will be wasted.

In terms of overall return on investment, it's not worth it at all.

During the period when he was unable to cultivate the Azure Sun Blood Refining Technique, Chen Ping'an devoted more of his energy to refining divine weapons.

It is worth mentioning that after many days of refining, he finally completed the refining of the concealing treasure, the Black Xuan Iron Mask.

The fully refined Black Iron Mask can now be extremely useful. Not only is its concealment and simulation capabilities greatly enhanced, but it also triggers a unique divine ability: realistic simulation, becoming a tremendous asset to Chen Ping'an.

As a concealment and disguise-type treasure, the Black Iron Mask has a relatively simple function, but this also enhances the effectiveness of its single function.

And this unique and miraculous simulation is the pinnacle of excellence.

By using a wisp of breath from the simulated object as a starting point, and with the assistance of some flesh, blood, and hair, a 100% realistic simulation can be achieved.

This kind of simulation is 100% accurate in terms of aura, appearance, temperament, and even true spirituality, without any difference. It can be described as seamless.

Under such a simulation, even if there is a significant difference in cultivation levels between the two sides, it would probably be difficult to discern the truth.

The only possibility of exposure is some difference in the information received, or small details in daily habits.

However, these shortcomings can be compensated for by collecting a large amount of data.

It's not that it's insurmountable.

Theoretically speaking, this realistic simulation still needs to be paired with soul-searching and spirit-seizing techniques to achieve its maximum effect.

With the support of soul-searching and spirit-stealing techniques, coupled with realistic simulations, it was a perfect disguise. Even those closest to him would find it difficult to detect his abnormality.

However, given the immense power of this realistic simulation, it is naturally not without limitations. On the contrary, its limitations are extremely stringent.

Acquiring the target's scent, obtaining its flesh and hair are all basic conditions for activation.

Furthermore, triggering a divine event requires a significant amount of spiritual energy. If one's foundation is weak, a considerable amount of time is needed to recover after the simulation.

After each simulation, a cooldown period is required before it can be activated again. In addition, although there is no limit to the duration of each simulation, if the duration is too long, further consumption of true essence and spiritual energy is required.

Such restrictions are numerous.

However, for Chen Ping'an, the biggest limitation of this Black Profound Iron Mask is that it can only imprint a maximum of three different types of aura.

Moreover, this branding process is irreversible.

In other words, after Chen Ping'an truly simulated a certain aura, that aura remained imprinted on the Black Profound Iron Mask, taking up one of its slots.

Even after a long time has passed, this quota will not change.

This means that Chen Ping'an will use up one of his slots after each real-life simulation. Once all three slots are used up, he will no longer be able to use new auras for real-life simulations.

The objects to be realistically simulated can only be chosen from these three auras.

These restrictions are quite significant.

However, compared to its function, these stringent restrictions are not unacceptable.

The only problem is that Chen Ping'an needs to be extremely cautious and think things through carefully before using this realistic simulation. Otherwise, using an image that he rarely uses to take up a spot would be a huge waste.

Fortunately, for general disguise, the Black Iron Mask in its normal form is sufficient. There's no need to go for a high-specification, realistic simulation.

Of course, aside from the limiting factors, the Black Iron Mask has many commendable aspects. For example, the aura it exudes under the simulated disguise is completely different from its previous state; even when using the same technique, it evokes entirely different feelings.

Such a difference in feeling is perhaps beyond the reach of ordinary pretense.

But in a real simulation, it would be 100% real.

From a certain perspective, once this black iron mask activates its true simulation, it can conceal the origins of one's cultivation technique. While it may not be particularly powerful, it's sufficient to deceive the average person.

After all, in a vast dynasty, there would be many practitioners of the same type of cultivation technique. However, the application and effects of the same technique would vary greatly depending on the person practicing it.

Aside from a very few closely guarded secrets, the argument that one can pinpoint a person solely based on their martial arts techniques is clearly untenable.

And this phenomenon becomes more pronounced the higher a cultivator's cultivation level.

As their cultivation level rises and years accumulate, most high-level cultivators become knowledgeable and have extensive knowledge of various techniques.

Besides unique secret techniques, many high-level cultivators experience overlapping cultivation methods.

Of course, techniques are one thing, but when it comes to actual combat, the methods used by each side are quite different.

The complete refinement of the Black Xuan Iron Mask gave Chen Ping'an even more confidence.

The realistic simulation, in particular, solidified his identity as a persona.

Chen Ping'an also had some thoughts and ideas about the three empty spaces realistically simulated by the Black Iron Mask.

It is worth mentioning that the simulation is open to both men and women, regardless of gender.

"If I were to imitate the appearance of the Heavenly Luo Saintess and join the Heavenly Luo Sect, I wonder what she would think?" Chen Ping'an thought with a wicked grin.

Besides the Black Xuan Iron Mask, Chen Ping'an has also nearly completed the refinement of the Heavenly Meteor Frost Star Blade, a precious treasure gifted by the Gu family. The final, complete refinement is not far off.

The Heavenly Meteor Frost Blade is uniquely powerful and possesses an exceptionally sharp edge, capable of breaking through any restrictions.

Such wondrous things were incredibly tempting to Chen Ping'an. If his cultivation level were high enough, then there would be no taboos.

Those divine weapons and armors inscribed with restrictions would probably be no match for the sharpness of his Heavenly Meteor Frost Star Blade.

This made him look forward even more to the day when the Heavenly Meteor Frost Star Blade would be completely successfully refined.

However, in terms of his apparent strength, whether or not the Heavenly Meteor Frost Blade is fully refined or not will not have a significant impact.

As a prototype of a powerful treasure, the Heavenly Meteor Frost Blade generally requires the cultivation of a Grandmaster to wield even in simple situations. Even a renowned prodigy like him, with only a mid-stage Jade Balance realm cultivation, could probably only manage to unleash a single strike.

If this is the case with normal use, it's even more surprising when it triggers supernatural phenomena.

Given the grade of the Heavenly Meteor Frost Star Blade, to trigger its divine power, one would need to be at least at the late stage of the Jade Balance realm, which is considered the perfect realm in the traditional sense.

Of course, even so, the supernatural effects would likely be extremely taxing, and might even leave one completely drained.

Only grandmasters who have broken through to the third level, or even pseudo-celestial beings, can use it with relatively little pressure.

Therefore, based on Chen Ping'an's apparent strength, whether or not the Heavenly Meteor Frost Star Blade can trigger divine effects makes no difference to its overall effect.

Chen Ping'an had some plans regarding his current revealed strength. Few people knew of his current mid-stage Jade Balance cultivation level. In this Thunderous Realm, such knowledge was even rarer, practically nonexistent.

That day, Wu Benqing noticed that he was somewhat concealed, so he did not examine him closely to avoid arousing his suspicion.

He hadn't met the other grandmasters yet, and as for the others, they couldn't see through his disguise at all. Even though he had only set up a simple layer to make it logical, the result was the same.

His martial arts realm at the mid-stage of the Jade Balance realm is a kind of leverage for him. Due to the information gap, others are unaware of the realm he is currently preparing to reveal.

In addition, at crucial moments, it can unleash the ultimate level of the Overlord Blade.

If it is still impossible, then use the Heavenly Meteor Frost Blade.
It's not that it can't be used.

Chen Ping'an calmed his mind and pondered quietly.

He had already made up his mind that once this matter was settled, he would go to Xuanling City to obtain demon beast blood and enhancement resources.

Chen Ping'an is currently very busy with official duties. Although Feng Wuhen is helping him out, there are still many things that require his decision-making and handling. Without a trusted team, there are some things that he still needs to do personally.

So early the next morning, Chen Ping'an did not linger at home, but went to the Thunderous Town Pacification Division.

He was handling official business for a while when he received news that the first messenger had returned.

"Summon him in!" Chen Ping'an remained calm as he sat steadily on the high platform.

"Yes, my lord."
