The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 731 If one can ascend to heaven, what external aids are needed? (Take a look at the author's words when you have time, haha~)

"Ping An, are you alright?"

A gentle male voice rang in Chen Ping'an's ear.

Chen Ping'an glanced at the source of the voice transmission and saw that it was Gu Zhengnan, an elder of the Gu family.

"It's nothing." Chen Ping'an shook his head gently. "Thank you for your concern, Elder."

Using his overt methods of transmitting information, anyone with the will could likely intercept his messages.

Fortunately, with Gu Zhengnan's attention and cover-up, they were not worried about being discovered by others.

Although Gu Zhengnan is not among the top pseudo-celestial beings, his combat strength is roughly comparable to theirs.

Among the many pseudo-celestial beings present, his combat strength is not low, second only to a handful of people such as the Fuquan Twin Elders, Qiu Siping, Black Rock Old Monster, and Lady Biluo.

If he were to fight with his full strength, neither Dong Jinluo of the Qiankun Division nor Zhang Tianyuan of the Zhenfu Division would be his match.

Under normal circumstances, short-term exchanges would not be intercepted or known by anyone.

However, just because others don't intercept and learn about it doesn't mean Chen Ping'an won't.

Although he is the foundation of spirituality, in terms of quality, he far surpasses the flawed celestial beings.

With his ability to spy, aside from a very few individuals in the room who couldn't possibly learn the information without being discovered by the other party, he could generally understand everyone else with ease.

Through the interactions with the guests, Chen Ping'an gleaned a considerable amount of information, including some current events and some confidential details.

"Hua Ruyue?"

Chen Ping'an remained calm and composed.

During the conversation between Black Rock Old Monster and the others, he heard about Hua Ruyue, the number one on the Wind and Cloud Ranking and a female Grandmaster.

As a top-tier pseudo-celestial being, Chen Ping'an still faces certain risks in probing Black Rock Old Monster.

However, while Black Rock Old Monster was proficient in physical training, he was not weak in the spiritual path, but he had no particular strengths and was quite ordinary.

With the help of the other people he spoke with, Chen Ping'an pieced together a rough picture of the situation.

The first of the Wind and Cloud, the Moon Shadow Divine Arrow, appeared in the territory of Beishan Prefecture, and the key to its appearance was the rumored transformation of the demon king not long ago.

According to rumors, a transformed demon king with exceptional speed has appeared in the Northern Mountain Prefecture of the Black Nether Mountains. Its speed is so great that even Celestial Beings of the same realm would find it difficult to keep up.

Hua Ruyue appeared in Beishan Prefecture for the sake of this transformed demon king.

Hua Ruyue must slay the demon!
With the power of a Grandmaster, he reversed the situation and slew the transformed demon king!

Such spirit
Even Chen Ping'an felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

Those who, at the Grandmaster level, can contend with martial arts masters can be considered exceptionally talented and possess heaven-defying combat power.

Looking at the list of top masters, there are at most no more than a handful who can achieve this level.

To be able to rival and be comparable to a martial arts master is already extremely rare. On the list of masters of the Wind and Cloud, apart from Hua Kairuyue, perhaps only the second-ranked master of the Wind and Cloud, Fu Baisheng, has this possibility.

But this is only a possibility.

Whether it can actually be done remains to be seen.

However, this is merely a contest to rival or compare with, a competition to a certain extent.

Confrontation is different from suppression; how can the difference between the two be measured by reason?

But what Hua Ruyue did was to suppress and kill. And what she suppressed and killed was not just an ordinary transformed great demon, but a troublesome existence that even the Celestials of the same realm found difficult to deal with.

Regardless of whether Hua Ruyue's trip will succeed, her sheer audacity is enough to inspire awe and awe.

If it can be accomplished, then
Hua Ruyue is a figure who stands out from the rest on the list of top masters.

From her onwards, one or even two slots should be left empty, only then can it be considered the second generation of Fengyun.

Such spirit is something that even a man cannot help but admire.

Legend has it that the Moon Shadow Divine Arrow Flower, as her name suggests, possessed a face as beautiful as the moon and flowers, a beauty that could shame the flowers and eclipse the moon, and a charm that captivated all.

A senior celestial being once publicly expressed his love, offering a precious gift and the status of a Daoist partner.

This story was once widely circulated.

However, since this matter involves celestial beings, especially this particular celestial being who still exists today, people dare not spread it too widely.

The matter ultimately came to nothing and was left unresolved.

As for the outcome, outsiders have no way of knowing. But it seems that in the end, it was a case of the king having a dream, but the goddess being indifferent.

"Hua Ruyue." Chen Ping'an's eyes were deep and thoughtful. "I wonder what kind of cultivation technique she practices, what kind of hidden strength she possesses, to have such destructive power?"

Chen Ping'an didn't know much about Hua Ruyue. The information he had was just bits and pieces of gossip and records from the Fengyun Grandmaster Ranking.

Hua Ruyue was a master archer, especially skilled in long-range attacks. Her arrows flew like shooting stars, relentless and continuous. In battle, often, opponents were defeated before they could even see her figure clearly.

There was once a martial arts master who was willing to test the sharpness of the Moon Shadow Divine Arrow, but under the onslaught of battle, his weakness was fully revealed.

If it weren't for the fact that the celestial beings possessed profound spiritual energy and flawless souls, they would likely have already been defeated in the face of battle.

Even so, the battle on the field was one-sided.

According to the rankings, if one cannot get close, even if a celestial being personally arrives, it will be impossible to suppress them.

But how difficult it is to get close to the Moon Shadow Arrow!

Legend has it that the Moon Shadow Divine Arrow Flower is as beautiful as the moon and contains a rare treasure that can shrink a foot to an inch, quickly increasing the distance between people.

Of course, such rumors are mostly hearsay, and no one has actually seen Hua Ruyue use such a precious treasure.

Often, the moment the Moon Shadow Arrow is unleashed, victory is already secured.

To possess such combat power at the Grandmaster level, and to be a woman at that.

It can be said that Hua Ruyue's reputation within the dynasty's territory even surpasses that of most martial arts masters!
They are the ideal partners that most people dream of, and even martial arts masters are no exception.

Some have predicted that if Hua Ruyue could one day achieve perfect harmony with nature, break through the barriers of her inner demons, and ascend to the realm of the celestial, then her combat power would be...
Faced with this woman, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but feel a little curious.

However, with limited sources of information, he had no idea what the specifics were.

To gain a deeper understanding, one must consult highly confidential and secret files. As for rare and precious treasures, they are shrouded in mystery and difficult to ascertain.

It can't be, it can't be...
Hua Ruyue told him herself, right?
Chen Pingan smiled and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Besides information about Hua Ruyue, Chen Ping'an also heard some secrets.

"Traitor to the Heaven-Mending Path".

More than half a year ago, an elder of the Butiandao sect betrayed the sect, intending to establish his own sect.

This matter was frequently mentioned in discussions, indicating that it was quite a hot topic.

In addition, there are some news items such as Hidden Dragon Prodigy, Azure Vast Power, Northern Mountain Demon Hunting, and Pill Alliance Alchemy.

It also mentions some secrets of the Snow Goddess Palace, such as the current Holy Maiden, who is suspected of breaking through her cultivation in seclusion and preparing to step into the realm of martial arts immortality. It also mentions that the elders of the Snow Goddess Palace are pure of heart and desire, cultivating the Path of Heartlessness, intending to ascend to the heavenly steps and one day be able to knock on the gates of heaven.

A great deal of information, all mixed up, was heard by Chen Ping'an, who got the gist of it.

However, due to their limited perspective, even though those present were all powerful individuals at the pseudo-celestial level, the topic of the Northern Frontier seemed too distant for them.

The North is far beyond imagination. Not to mention the entire North, the Snow Palace God alone is enough to terrify anyone.

Many of the secrets within are beyond the comprehension of those at the pseudo-celestial level.

Most of the rumors circulating are unfounded and merely attempts to generate buzz.

However, amidst the numerous discussions, Chen Ping'an managed to glean some crucial information, which he noted down regardless of its usefulness.

Perhaps one day we can use this as a topic of conversation and exchange ideas.

Once the pot of wine was empty, someone quickly replenished it.

For such a grand event, the servants were meticulous in their service. Every detail was made possible to meet the needs of the guests.

"I've drunk quite a bit of spiritual wine here. I wonder how much it will benefit me during my cultivation?" Chen Ping'an thought to himself, his eyes calm.

I had been thinking of contacting the Five Blessings Chamber of Commerce to purchase some Snow Spirit Leaves, but it seems that purchasing them is not an option right now. I wonder if I can get them at all.
Chen Ping'an's eyes were deep, and he stopped there, not thinking any further.

Just then, in the chat circle of Old Man Xu from the Xuanling Chamber of Commerce, Chen Ping'an learned about a topic.

"A business alliance seeking a son-in-law?"

The Beihai Business Alliance, composed of numerous chambers of commerce, appears to be somewhat loosely managed compared to sects and families.

Driven by self-interest, at times, the cohesion and execution of business alliances can be even more terrifying than those of family sects.

Centered around seven major chambers of commerce and divided by the volume of trade, the Beihai Business Alliance has long formed a unique power structure, surrounded by layers of chambers of commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce Council consists of chamber members within the Chamber of Commerce, each occupying a different seat based on their varying business scale and strength.

Within the business alliance, the most powerful and renowned figures were none other than the Twin Lords of Cloud and Thunder.

The two rulers of Yunlei had a daughter who was exceptionally talented and rumored to possess extraordinary beauty. However, she was kept hidden by the two rulers and thus never entered the ranks of the hidden dragons.

Like those reclusive geniuses, they enjoy a world unknown to others.

As the only daughter of two princes, it is impossible for her to marry outside the family. Now, this girl is getting older and has reached the age for marriage.

The topic at hand is that the two gentlemen of Yunlei are reportedly looking for a son-in-law. It is said that this search will be very open, welcoming many talented individuals in hopes of finding a worthy match.

According to rumors, the scope of this recruitment of sons-in-law is extremely broad, not limited to the North Sea, but also encompassing the four regions of the dynasty. Any young talents who meet the requirements are welcome to come and try.

Given the prestige of the North Sea Merchant Alliance and the status of the Cloud and Thunder Twin Lords, if this were to succeed, it would be akin to a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate.

It's not just about saving a few years of hard work; it's about securing an unimaginable fortune and immense wealth for future generations.

Such wealth and background are unimaginable to outsiders.

Legend has it that the only daughter of the Twin Lords is as brilliant as a star and as pure as the moon. Therefore, the daughter of the Twin Lords of Cloud and Thunder is also known as Princess Star and Moon within the Merchant Alliance. This title is very popular and widely circulated in the North Sea.

However, the only daughter of the two rulers is kept hidden away in her chambers. The two rulers have always kept her extremely well hidden, and she has never been disturbed by the noise and commotion from the outside world. There are probably very few people who have actually seen Princess Xingyue.

This is also true even within the Beihai Business Alliance.

Given the status and influence of the Yunlei Twin Lords, Princess Xingyue, as their only daughter, is indeed more noble than some royal bloodline enfeoffments.

Even an old eccentric like Old Man Xu finds such topics quite fascinating.

Chen Ping'an's focus wasn't on the matter of finding a son-in-law, but rather on the Twin Lords of Cloud and Thunder.

"The Twin Lords of Cloud and Thunder".

Chen Ping'an's eyes narrowed slightly as he recalled the biographical secrets he had recently read.

As powerful figures with deep roots in the North Sea Merchant Alliance, it is rumored that the Cloud and Thunder Twin Monarchs have already...
Chen Ping'an's gaze sharpened slightly, and a sense of感慨 arose in his heart.

"The journey is long and arduous, with no end in sight!"

The road is long and far away, and I will search up and down.

Amidst the exchange of information, a grand feast is finally drawing to a close.

Guests depart periodically, sometimes alone, sometimes in pairs, sometimes in groups. During the banquet, guests can explore the islands of Bihu Lake, socialize, build connections, and engage in deeper conversations.
When discussing secrecy.

At the Jade Terrace Banquet, it's inconvenient to communicate telepathically, for fear of being overheard by others. But away from here, with restrictions in place, it's an excellent place for such exchanges.

Of course, not all the guests leaving the grand banquet had this purpose. Some simply wanted to enjoy the scenery, relax and replenish their energy during their long period of spiritual practice, and draw spiritual energy from the beautiful landscape.

However, compared to the general trend, such guests are few and far between.

The vast majority of guests who left midway had their own purposes and ulterior motives.

Driven by self-interest, by the prevailing situation, by alliances, and by scheming.
The complexities are too numerous to be described in a few words.

Some are so busy that they might have to rush from one event to another. After finishing one private conversation, they immediately move on to the next one, truly busy people.

"Young friend Ping An, would you mind moving over for a chat?" Chen Ping An asked calmly, sipping his wine, when a soft and melodious voice rang in his ears.

Chen Ping'an lowered his gaze slightly and saw that not far away, Madam Biluo, dressed in a green gauze dress, was talking to someone with a normal expression.

Her full figure was subtly revealed between her skirts and dresses, and every frown and smile exuded a gentle charm.

Chen Ping'an did not refuse Madam Biluo's invitation to meet. After a few breaths, Madam Biluo got up and left as if she had no intention of doing so.

"Lady Biluo, what is this?"

As one of the absolute centers of attention, Lady Biluo's movements naturally attracted a lot of attention.

"After talking for so long, I am a little tired. I'd like to take a walk around the area to clear my head." Lady Biluo left the banquet hall with a smile in her eyes, her skirt swaying and her gauze flowing.

Watching Madam Biluo leave, Chen Ping'an did not rush to follow. He remained calm, savoring the wine in his glass.

He only slowly stood up when the wine in the pot was empty.

Compared to Lady Biluo, Chen Ping'an's movements did not attract as much attention. However, as a rising star among the prodigies, although Chen Ping'an's current cultivation level was not impressive to those present, many people still paid him some attention.

"Where are you going?" Elder Wang, the old man who had been teased by Black Rock Old Monster earlier, had a slight glint in his eyes as he watched Chen Ping'an's movements.

The Black Rock Old Monster, with a body as imposing as a mountain, sat upright behind his desk. As he spoke, his gaze fell slightly, noticing Chen Ping'an's movements.

He glanced at it, then quickly looked away.

Zhang Tianyuan, who was standing next to Chen Ping'an, paid more attention to this.

Dong Jinluo of the Qiankun Division of the State was chatting familiarly with someone when he caught a glimpse of Chen Ping'an leaving. His expression turned cold, but he quickly returned to normal.

"It's rare to see fellow Daoists like you. Opportunities like this are few and far between. This time, we must drink until we drop." He smiled warmly and exchanged pleasantries with the several pseudo-celestial beings.

As Chen Ping'an got up and passed Gu Zhengnan, he smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. Gu Zhengnan nodded but said nothing more.

Bihu Island is located within the state capital, so its safety can be guaranteed. At this time, with Chen Ping'an gone, Gu Zhengnan wasn't too worried.

After considering the circumstances, he had a vague idea of ​​why Chen Ping'an had left.

The island in the middle of the lake boasts beautiful scenery and a pleasant environment. Along its edge, jagged rocks and hidden reefs abound.

Although the island is situated on a clear lake, standing on its edge allows one to feel the vastness of the water, creating a unique and evocative atmosphere.

On a rocky outcrop, a beautiful woman in a green dress looked on expectantly. The hazy green veil fluttered in the wind, outlining her graceful and voluptuous figure.

"Young friend Ping An," the beautiful woman in the green dress said with a charming smile, "I've been eagerly awaiting your arrival."

"Of all the people I've been waiting for at this Azure Dragon Banquet, it's only you, my young friend, who has kept me waiting like this." Lady Biluo's tone was wistful, seemingly coquettish yet reproachful, containing a hint of expectant reluctance and a touch of shyness in boldly expressing her feelings.

"Senior Biluo." Chen Ping'an bowed calmly.

His expression remained calm as he looked at the beautiful woman before him, completely unaffected by her alluring demeanor.

Ok?
A hint of surprise flickered in Lady Biluo's heart.

Although she did not actually activate the Soul Charm, the difference in their cultivation levels was such that even if it was just an instinctive, autonomous operation, Chen Ping'an could not be completely immune to it.

"Could it be that this child's temperament is different from ordinary people, and he has developed a certain immunity to charm-type techniques?"

Lady Biluo guessed that, considering Chen Ping'an's identity as a swordsman, this guess was the most likely among several possibilities.

Chen Ping'an possesses the Overlord Blade, and under his domineering will, he inevitably develops a disdainful heart and becomes resistant to beautiful women.

"I wonder what brings Senior Biluo to invite me here?" Chen Ping'an asked directly.

With just a brief meeting, he was able to get a basic understanding of Madam Biluo's situation.

He focuses on the spiritual path and cultivates special soft skills. Compared to pseudo-celestial beings of the same level, he is weaker in direct combat. However, in close combat, he has a certain chance of suppressing them in several moves, making it difficult for them to turn the tide.

However, as one of the highest-ranking officials in charge of the Bicang Chamber of Commerce under the Bicang Prince's Mansion, it's hard to guarantee that Madam Biluo might have some hidden trump cards.

If they really went all out, even though he was quite confident in himself and thought it would be easy to defeat his opponent, it would probably take some effort to truly kill him.

Previously, within the Nether Pool Cave, he was able to so cleanly and efficiently kill the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, the Lord of Evil Extremes, and others. This was not only due to his own formidable strength, but also to the state, mentality, and methods of the opponents.

Furthermore, Lady Biluo's combat strength surpasses that of the others. Only the Evil Dao Master, Blood Nightmare Luo, in his full state could possibly rival her.

"I summoned you here to recruit you on behalf of the Prince's Mansion," Lady Biluo said, her eyes sparkling as she revealed the purpose of her visit.

"Oh? May I ask who Lady Biluo is recruiting on behalf of?"

The Prince of Bicang's mansion is rife with factions, with countless factions involved in the matter of choosing an heir alone.

Among the various factions, they can generally be divided into the most favored, the most virtuous, and the most senior.

Within each category, there are different factions that support the people they favor.

Different factions intersect, each using the other while remaining wary of the other.

When targeting factions in the other two major categories, factions within the same category will unite. However, when it comes to differences between them, they will clash.

Liang Xiaoxian, who had previously met Chen Ping'an, was a representative of the virtuous and capable faction within the Bicang County Prince's Mansion. The powerful figure in this faction was Liang Xiaoxian's adoptive father, Qingmu Fugong.

Ji Changkong, who once went to Canglong with a song of "Phoenix Seeking its Mate" to propose to Gu Qingcheng, is a member of the same faction as Qingmu Fugong. He is also one of the most outstanding representatives of the new generation of the Bicang Prince's Mansion.

"I am here to recruit for His Highness Dongqing." Lady Biluo smiled, her charm naturally alluring. "If you are willing, young friend, I can secure the best possible terms for you."

"Your Highness Dongqing?"

The Prince Dongqing mentioned by Lady Biluo is one of the most popular figures in the Changxuan faction of the Bicang County Prince's Mansion.

Compared to the other two major factions, the Long Choice faction is relatively simpler.

However, this simplicity is only relative.

The old Prince of Bicang has a large lineage, spanning countless generations. In each generation, there is a legitimate eldest son, and there is still considerable controversy regarding who will succeed him.

Some eldest sons, being legitimate eldest sons, have dual status, gaining support from both the legitimate faction and the legitimacy of the eldest son's faction, making them powerful in both aspects.

However, some eldest sons did not obtain the status of legitimate heirs and were born out of wedlock. But they were exceptionally gifted, kind-hearted, and had the qualities of a prince, and thus received a lot of support.

Prince Dongqing was the most outstanding candidate among them. Although he was slightly older and thus had the title of eldest son among his generation, he was born out of wedlock and lacked the support of a legitimate eldest son.

They were not valued by the chosen faction at all.

However, with his charm, talent, friendliness and kindness, he attracted many people to place bets, which earned him a high reputation in the long-term faction and the support of many virtuous factions.

Among the candidates for successor, he is a strong contender.

"Is she from Dongqing?" Chen Ping'an glanced at Madam Biluo.

Lady Biluo was born into the dust, as if she were trapped in the mud, and it would be difficult for her to get out in this life.

The best life one could hope for was to marry into a wealthy family and become a concubine. If the mistress was kind, she might even enjoy a few days of comfort.

From a normal perspective, her life should have been one of utter humiliation, etched into her very bones.

Let alone embarking on the path of martial arts, even wanting to escape one's lowly status and become a normal person is extremely difficult.

The Qi and Blood Realm was an unattainable goal for her.

Can.
Against this backdrop of tragedy, Lady Biluo rose from humble beginnings, gradually climbing the social ladder. After being sold several times, she finally gained the favor of a noble person, starting from the Qi and Blood Realm and steadily ascending to her current position.
Ascend to the realm of the pseudo-celestial beings!
He lived to be 800 years old, witnessing the changing winds and the rise and fall of the world.

Those who once regarded her as an ant and a lowly servant now do not even have the right to admire her glory.

The daughter of a lowly maid has now become someone they can no longer aspire to.

The experiences involved are so numerous that even a biography could not fully recount them.

In fact, the experiences of each pseudo-celestial being are enough to fill a biography.

However, Lady Biluo is precisely one of the more fascinating parts of these biographies.

Chen Ping'an remained silent, and Madam Biluo did not interrupt. She simply gazed at Chen Ping'an with her gentle, alluring eyes, filled with shyness and tender affection.

Her face held expectation, like a young girl in the throes of first love, eagerly awaiting his reply.

"I appreciate Senior Biluo's kindness, but my ambitions lie elsewhere. Please forgive me." Chen Ping'an seemed to ponder for a moment before finally declining Madam Biluo's invitation.

Upon hearing this, Lady Biluo's eyes trembled slightly, as if tears were about to well up.

Her face was pale and sorrowful, her pink lips trembling slightly: "Why?"

“Senior Biluo, the Gu family has been kind to me. In this situation, I will certainly not abandon the Gu family. You have received kindness from others, so you should understand this principle,” Chen Ping’an said calmly.

"grace."

Lady Biluo seemed touched, her eyes trembling slightly, a hint of reminiscence appearing within them. But this slight change quickly vanished.

She clutched her sleeves, looking at Chen Ping'an pitifully, like a helpless person about to be abandoned.

Although Lady Biluo's slight changes were fleeting, they naturally did not escape Chen Ping'an's notice.

Lady Biluo had a miserable life, and it was only through the appreciation of a noble person that she had the opportunity to embark on the path of martial arts. Given the circumstances of the other party, she should have gained some insight into what he was saying.

Lady Biluo tried to persuade Chen Ping'an to change his mind by appealing to his emotions and reasoning with him.

“I understand what you mean, young friend. However, the Gu family's predicament is beyond your ability to resolve. Why waste your talent by being trapped in this shallow pool? With your abilities, if you could enter my Bicang Prince's Mansion, obtain resources and spiritual objects, and receive guidance from renowned masters, I believe you would soon reach the Grandmaster level of martial arts, which is the Celestial Realm. With the resources of Bicang supporting you, you would have hope for the future!”

"Grandmaster realm?" Chen Ping'an smiled, his robes billowing like ink waves, and an indescribable brilliance appeared in his eyes: "If I wanted to reach the Grandmaster realm, why would I wait until tomorrow?"

As for the realm of Celestial Beings—" Chen Ping'an's smile deepened as he gazed up at the sky, a golden glow seemingly enveloping him: "Since one is a Celestial Being, one should break through it with force. Why should I, Chen, need to rely on external objects or resources to sustain this state!?"

On the azure lake, a gentle breeze stirred up ripples and ruffled the strands of hair at Chen Ping'an's temples.

Looking at the man before her, Lady Biluo was momentarily stunned. In just a few words, she genuinely felt the spirit and charisma of the man before her.

It was an indescribable elegance and pride, like a tender sprout breaking through the soil, soaring straight to the sky.

She wanted to persuade him further, but then she saw the man in front of her smile, and a voice rang in her ear.

"Senior Biluo, today I, Chen, was willing to abandon the Gu family and turn to the Bicang Prince's Mansion for a few bargaining chips. If a higher offer comes along in the future, surely I won't switch allegiance again?"

After saying that, Chen Ping'an was about to leave, but he had only taken one step when he heard a soft, charming voice.

"Young friend, is it because you despise me?" Lady Biluo's eyes trembled slightly, like pear blossoms in the rain, looking pitiful.

"Disdain?" Chen Ping'an laughed: "Senior Bi Luo, your life has been inspiring, what is there to disdain?"

"Being born in the dust and trapped in the mud is never a mistake or a shame."

The predecessors stood alongside them on the same cloud. Their humble beginnings are not a source of shame for the predecessors; it is they who should be ashamed.

The achievements of their predecessors today only highlight their incompetence. That is their greatest shame!
Those who live in the clouds will never know the abundant vitality of a tender sprout breaking through the soil.

To be so humble, yet to stand alongside those born in the clouds, makes the lives of those who came before us all the more worthy of remembrance.

Upon hearing this, Lady Biluo's body trembled, her fingertips almost tearing her sleeves. Her expression instantly collapsed, and a thousand thoughts surfaced in her eyes.

Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she only felt her throat tighten and couldn't say anything.

It was as if a long-sealed box had been opened, and countless memories flooded in like a tide. Those years that she had deliberately forgotten, those years of struggling in the dust, became her lifelong cure at this moment.

She rose from humble beginnings, and to this day, almost no one dares to mention her past experiences in front of her. But she knows that even now, some people say behind her back that if it weren't for her fortuitous encounter with a benefactor back then, she would have been nothing more than a lowly servant girl for the rest of her life, and would never have the dazzling presence of someone who leads the Bicang Chamber of Commerce and possesses the brilliance of a pseudo-celestial being.

In the past, she passed through the Heavenly Gate and the Illusionary Realm of the Heart Demon. She fell at this very gate. If it weren't for her exceptional talent and profound accumulation of knowledge, she probably wouldn't have been able to even become a pseudo-celestial being. She died and her cultivation vanished, returning to dust.

Those people saw her luck, her opportunity, and she herself.
Without the help of benefactors, I wouldn't be where I am today.

And she had always believed this. Even if she was deceiving herself, forgetting the past, forgetting the struggle, her heart kept telling her the answer.

The fact that she, with all her accumulated knowledge, fell into the trap of her inner demons and almost couldn't break free is the best proof of this.

But only today did she truly realize that regardless of whether she had that opportunity or not, regardless of whether she was appreciated by a benefactor, she was still herself.

As long as there is even the slightest chance, she will do her best to break free from the mire and climb upwards step by step.

Those people only saw her luck, but not how much effort she had put in to achieve that day. They saw the moment she was recognized by a benefactor, but not her long-term perseverance. They only saw her opportunity, but not the years of accumulation and planning she had made.

She wasn't the only one who received recognition in the past, but in the end, she was the only one who made it to the end.

She has come this far not only because of opportunities and recognition, but also because of her ability to seize them firmly.

Because we were born into humble circumstances, we yearn for it all the more!

Even if you walk the same road again, the result will be the same!
Do not!
If she could live her life again, it would be even more brilliant.

"If only I had understood sooner, if only I had understood sooner," Lady Biluo murmured softly, repeating herself, a tear sliding down her cheek.

She recalled that rainy night more than three hundred years ago, when she was struggling in the dust and mud, and an umbrella was held over her head, illuminating her life.

And today.
Lady Biluo looked at the man beside her with tears in her clear eyes.

"Being born from the dust is never a mistake; forgetting is!"

Chen Ping'an, his clothes fluttering, walked past her with a composed gait, leaving a trail of elegance in his wake.

If Lady Biluo's life were examined closely, it could indeed fill several volumes of biography, and she would be widely praised. Through her own experiences, she tells the world that even an ant can question the heavens!
Even maids can be beautiful!

Martial arts training is unfair, but it is also fair.

The journey was filled with breathtaking scenery, attracting all sorts of people, and I...
It is also within it.

Chen Ping'an laughed heartily, feeling a sense of liberation and boundless joy.

“Your words of wisdom will be remembered for the rest of my life.”

Lady Biluo lowered her head and composed herself, gently fluttering her wide sleeves as she gave a deep bow.

"May Young Master Biluo have a smooth path to enlightenment and everlasting success in martial arts!"

A dignified and clear voice rang out from behind me.

Chen Ping'an didn't turn around, but laughed loudly and left.

"May these words serve as encouragement for the rest of our lives."

He strode along, as if walking amidst a sea of ​​golden light.

　It's finished! It's finally finished!

　　Actually, writing about showing off and getting slapped in the face, or killing to establish authority, is easier for me. Writing it like this feels a bit unfair to everyone. To be honest, writing these words is really a bit mentally taxing.

　　It's a bit of a thankless task, but I still want to avoid repetition and try something different. Although the effect may not be good, it's still a brave step for the author.

　　It will get better.

　　Speaking of which, doesn't Prince Dongqing seem like a different kind of protagonist template? As a son of a concubine, he participates in the struggle for the throne, and some people run around for him, willing to sacrifice themselves. Others are determined to protect Prince Dongqing for the rest of his life.

　　After that day, some people made a vow that their entire lives belonged to Prince Dongqing, and that they would serve him for life, even unto death.

　　Haha, if Yaoshi has the time, she could totally follow this template and write a novel of around a million words. The results are uncertain, but it'll certainly be fun for her.

　　The world is very rich. Although the protagonist has a panel, there are countless people in the world with different temperaments, methods, and opportunities. It is still not something to be taken lightly.

　　Well, it's late, so I won't say any more. I'm going to wash up.

　　So, you must have seen these messages this morning.

　　Bye-bye~
　　Oh, right. One last thing, please vote for me. Monthly votes are really important, please.

　　Oh, by the way, that young master isn't stupid.
