My entry can't possibly be this normal!

Li Ping'an and his group arrived at the Grand Elder's room, where he had already woken up.

Although her face was still a little pale, she had finally regained some strength.

Upon seeing Li Ping'an arrive, Yu Tianji smiled slightly.

"You're awake, kid..."

"Looks like I wasn't meant to die after all!"

Li Pingan smiled and said, "Likewise."

Yu Tianji also burst into laughter, but the laughter aggravated his injuries, and eventually turned into a series of coughs.

Yu Nishang hurriedly stepped forward to pat his back, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes as she complained.

"Grandpa, it's best not to get too excited."

Yu Tianji waved his hand: "It's alright, it's alright. Since you've survived such a calamity, you're bound to have good fortune in the future."

He glanced at Li Ping'an: "You're the same way, aren't you?"

"Not only did he break through to the Divine Power Earth Realm in the face of battle and in dire straits, but he also consumed countless elixirs and medicines, and now he has directly advanced to the Great Perfection of the Heaven-Connecting Realm. This is what they call good fortune after death..."

"Huh? Your magical power has actually reached a thousand strands?!"

Yu Tianji was shocked, and the elders of the Dao Forging Alliance around him also changed their expressions!

Li Ping'an smiled slightly, clenched his fist, and his vast and boundless magical power instantly condensed, transforming into a tornado that roared forth and swept across the heavens and earth.

The entire room was suddenly filled with turbulent winds, and everything seemed on the verge of being swept away. Yu Ni Chang and Bai Xiao Xian couldn't help but retreat.

Yu Tianji exclaimed in shock, "Not only is the quantity of his magical power terrifying, but its quality is also incredibly refined, reaching the pinnacle of perfection..."

"You're something else, kid..."

Another elder exclaimed, "Generally speaking, when someone just breaks through to the first level of the Divine Power Earth Realm, the Heavenly Connection Realm, even at the Great Perfection stage, they can only have about ten strikes at most. Even geniuses can only manage a few dozen strikes, and a hundred strikes is considered extraordinary. Master Li's thousand strikes... are truly astonishing and inconceivable!"

"You should know that many cultivators only have one hundred strands of mana at the second level of the Five Elements Realm, unless they reach the third level of the Yin-Yang Realm, which is the highest level. In other words..."

"Master Li is currently only at the first level of the Heavenly Connection Realm, but in terms of the amount of magical power, he is already approaching the level of a great cultivator at the third level of the Yin-Yang Realm!"

Yu Tianji laughed and said, "No wonder. This kid's spiritual power is unparalleled in the world. By chance, he suddenly comprehended the ultimate principles of heaven and earth in Wanbaotang. Then, during his fierce battle with Hua Guicang, he achieved perfect merit and broke through to the Divine Power Realm in one fell swoop. In addition, you fed him so many elixirs and medicines. Everything came together and created this monster..."

"Even in my prime, I'm afraid I might not be a match for this kid..."

Li Ping'an also asked curiously, "What realm is the Grand Elder at now?"

Yu Tianji said, "Divine Power Earth Realm, Third Heaven, Yin Yang Realm Great Completion."

He sighed, "He's quite a figure in Changping County, but he's nothing special in the wider world."

“There are quite a few people in Changping County whose cultivation level is comparable to mine…”

"For example, Marquis Jiang Shenwei of Wuwei, Grand Elder Wan Lianshan of the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce, the Tower Master of the Pill God Tower, the Sect Master of the Boundless Sect, and so on..."

Li Ping'an asked, "Then, what about Elder Ren Tianxing?"

"Him? He's probably even more powerful than us. He's at least at the Great Perfection of the Yin-Yang Realm, and might even have broken through to the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm..."

"The so-called Spirit Sea Realm means that one's spiritual energy is as vast as the sea, one's magical power is boundless, and one's supernatural abilities are great. Such a person is truly a great figure, even in Dragon Abyss City."

"That Hua Guicang is from the Spirit Sea Realm."

"You were able to kill a powerful figure in the Spirit Sea Realm with only the initial stage of the Divine Power Realm. If word got out, probably no one would believe it. It's practically a myth!"

Li Pingan shook his head.

"That was just a coincidence."

Yu Tianji laughed and said, "When did you become so modest, kid?"

"You can't be too humble; didn't you almost mess things up this time too?"

Yu Tianji snorted, "Give me a break. Do you think I can't see through you? You only used your trump card at the very end to hone yourself. Otherwise, when you fought Xuan Yuanguang, one strike of the Mountain and River Cauldron would have killed ten of him long ago. Why wait until the critical moment when you fought Hua Guicang to bring it out?"

Li Ping'an smiled and said, "I did have that idea, but at that time I wasn't sure if I could break through. Relying on the power of my soul to activate the magic weapon meant I couldn't use it many times, so I was being a bit cautious."

"Moreover, I was able to kill Hua Guicang because I used the great array mechanism of the Dao Forging Alliance to break the Heaven and Earth Coexistence Barrier. He had already suffered a severe backlash, and his combat power was probably only half of what it used to be."

"We've been fighting for a long time, and we've used up a lot of our energy, so our magic power is low."

"Furthermore, he underestimated me too much, was arrogant and careless, and was caught off guard, suffering two consecutive blows from my Mountain and River Cauldron, plus the power of the [One Word is Worth Nine Cauldrons] entry. This is his true path to death."

Yu Tianji glared and puffed out his beard: "Your entry is really impressive..."

"It's not the power of words that empowers the magic weapon, but rather the power of the magic weapon that empowers the words..."

"Who the hell could have predicted this?!"

"And the more offensive and hurtful your words are, the more powerful they become, right?"

"You're really mean..."

Many of the blacksmiths looked at each other and gave a wry smile.

They originally had many opinions about Li Ping'an, thinking that the magical treasures he refined were too strange and unorthodox, but now everyone is extremely grateful and full of admiration.

After all, Li Ping'an single-handedly saved the entire Dao Forging Alliance!

Bai Xiaoxian said proudly, "Of course!"

"With this Heart-Piercing Cauldron, Master Chang was able to defeat even my master, the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect!"

"Oh?"

Yu Tianji was even more shocked: "Even Yun Yaoji couldn't withstand it? That's truly formidable..."

Li Ping'an's heart stirred: "Can the Grand Elder tell what her cultivation level is?"

"She always kept it a secret and wouldn't say."

Yu Tianji shook his head: "I can't tell either, but in terms of combat power, I can only say that once she unleashes her power, she is far superior to all of us, but her cultivation level doesn't seem to be that high, which is very strange..."

"Perhaps she possesses some kind of explosive magic weapon, elixir, or supernatural power."

Li Ping'an guessed that was probably the case and nodded.

"Let's not talk about me for now, Elder. The Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce is desperate and has directly mobilized bigwigs from the Dragon Abyss City headquarters to launch a direct attack. They are clearly determined to fight to the death. How should the Dao Forging Alliance respond?"

Yu Tianji smiled slightly.

"Looking at the big picture, the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce and the Dao Casting Master Alliance may keep to themselves, but everywhere you look, they are constantly fighting each other."

"This time they chose to tear off the mask, but they didn't kill us. That means they've completely humiliated themselves."

"You don't need to worry. I have already informed the headquarters of the Dragon Abyss City Founders Alliance about the situation here. The Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce will definitely not have a good time."

"As for Changping County... hey, it's time to settle accounts with the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce!"

"Since they refuse to honestly maintain the status quo, then we can only ask them to die."

Li Pingan smiled too.

"Great minds think alike."

"This time, we will make the entire Jiuding Chamber of Commerce disappear from this land completely!"

The two men exchanged a glance and couldn't help but reveal lewd smiles...
