Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Lift your foot?

The next moment, Yunping gave her the answer.

However, this answer is a bit startling.

Because Yunping directly raised his foot and kicked the formation.

That alone wouldn't be enough to be truly terrifying.

Yun Ping's kick pierced the magic array from the outside, directly into the inside. The runes swirling above the circular array instantly lost their luster, and the colorful spiritual light rapidly circling around the array also dimmed.

boom!

After a crisp sound, the entire magic array collapsed into nothingness.

Yes……

That young man—

He kicked the magic circle and shattered it.

As an eighth-order sealing array, the Azure Sky Array is a defensive array that can completely resist attacks from cultivators in the Void Transformation stage.

This thing is like a wall that has been thickened countless times. If you try to go head-to-head with it, you'll only suffer. You have to find a way to get around this wall or find a weak point in it and break through it.

—This is what is meant by breaking the formation.

Generally speaking, breaking an array requires a long period of preparation and a large amount of knowledge about array formations. This is especially true for an eighth-order sealing array like the Azure Sky Array. Even in the era of a hundred saints, when saints emerged in great numbers, very few people could break through it.

Moreover, this is the eighth-order sealing formation of Dao Tian Zhen Sheng. He directly proved himself to be a saint by using this technique. If you want to break his formation, you must think carefully and be very cautious.

Instead of just kicking it without any regard for the consequences, like this young man in front of us!

Chu Xin felt as if her worldview had collapsed at that moment. How could anyone play like this?!

To shatter the Azure Sky Array with a single kick... that's completely illogical!

Sensing the astonished gazes behind him, Yun Ping turned around, his flippant demeanor as if he had merely kicked a ball around.

"What's wrong? Why are you all staring at me?"

"I'm starting to wonder if your physical body was created using the ultimate techniques..." Ye Yuchan felt that the scene before her was simply unreal. She had never seen anyone break through an array like this before. "Where do you find someone who can kick an array to pieces?! I've never seen anything like it!"

"You've seen it now, haven't you?"

"No, no, no, you said it yourself before, this is some kind of Azure Sky Array, right? It's a very high-level array, isn't it?"

Yunping nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's quite advanced, an eighth-order sealing array."

"You just kicked down an eighth-order sealing array? You think it's a wooden door? You can just casually lift your foot and break it!"

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it, I'm amazing."

……

Ye Yuchan stood there, stunned, looking as if she had seen a ghost.

Yunping really doesn't know how to talk. He's killed the conversation again. She has no chance to respond to this.

But on second thought, that makes perfect sense.

Who is Yun Ping? He calls himself Emperor Wen. Although Ye Yuchan still doesn't want to associate her idol with this old rogue in front of her—with his deadpan eyes, roguish air, and utterly lacking in manners—she has to admit that the possibility of Yun Ping being Emperor Wen is very high, because he's too powerful…

It was so powerful that it exceeded the common sense of the entire cultivation world.

Only someone like Emperor Wen could defy common sense.

Therefore, if Emperor Wen were to kick and destroy an eighth-order sealing array, probably no one would be surprised; on the contrary, they would think it was quite ordinary.

The issue is--

"Who...who are you?!"

—Our Miss Chu Xin is unaware of Yun Ping's true identity.

This was the first time she had felt an unknown fear towards someone she had only recently met. Instinctively, she gripped the sword at her waist, shielding Fang Yan, and her wary gaze shot towards Yun Ping.

Who I am is none of your business.

"I just want to know why you brought us here! What is your purpose...?"

"I see. So you're starting to doubt my thoughts." Yunping understood Chu Xin's thoughts quite well. "I can guess what you're doubting right now, but I'll say it again: who I am has nothing to do with you, nor with your trip."

No, the word "travel" might be a bit inappropriate.

—Let me correct that.

"To be precise, my identity has nothing to do with your investigation. As for why I chose to bring you here, it's purely because..."

Yunping looked at Chu Xin, his gaze, shooting out from the gaps in his black, slanted bangs, seemed to have the ability to pierce through her soul, as if he wanted to see right through her.

"Your surname is Chu, that's all."

……

The atmosphere slowly sank into the silent depths of the sea.

After Yunping said those words, Chu Xin stopped answering or asking questions. Instead, she stared intently at Yunping, her eyes filled with doubt and shock as she desperately tried to discern any subtle change in his facial expression.

Her surname is Chu, yes, but so what?

Ye Yuchan didn't understand, Zhang Ruoxue didn't understand, and even Fang Yan didn't understand.

The only one who had this idea was Chu Xin herself...

However, the idea was so bizarre that it could even be called a fantasy—to this day, she still regards the message she received from her grandfather's dying words as a joke.

……real or fake?

She began to waver.

However, Yunping ignored her shock and looked towards Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue.

"You two come here and grab my clothes."

"Just hold on with your hands?" Ye Yuchan looked somewhat weak, probably due to the effect of injecting a large amount of spiritual energy into the stone earlier.

“Okay, just hold on. Ruoxue, you too.” Yunping glanced at Zhang Ruoxue’s only remaining right hand and deliberately had her stand to his left so that it would be easier for her to pull her up. “Don’t let go later, otherwise it will be troublesome if you are left in the secret realm.”

"learn."

Zhang Ruoxue and Ye Yuchan didn't know what was hidden in this secret realm, but since Yun Ping had said so, they nodded at the same time and then, following Yun Ping's instructions, grabbed his clothes from the left and right.

After the two female disciples took their places, Yun Ping glanced sideways at Chu Xin behind him.

"What are you still standing there for? Don't you want to go to Blackwater Abyss?"

……

No response.

She looked like she had lost her mind, her expression blank.

"Master, Master, he's calling you!" Seeing Chu Xin suddenly enter a daze, Fang Yan immediately moved closer to her. "Master!"

After being called three times by her own disciple, Chu Xin finally snapped out of her chaotic thoughts.

"Ah! Eh... Ah, oh oh..."

She gave Yunping an embarrassed smile, then walked over to him with Fang Yan and the unconscious Li Junpeng on his back. Without realizing it, she used polite language: "I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."

Yunping didn't react much to the sudden change in address. He nodded slightly and then took the first step into the cave.

Chu Xin didn't mind and stepped into the cave with Yun Ping.

--roar!

The moment her foot stepped inside.

The world around her was then subjected to a cataclysmic upheaval, and a scene resembling the end of the world overwhelmed her vision.

What followed was a massive, dark shadow that filled the sky, like dark clouds obscuring the sun.

Chu Xin stared blankly around, realizing that she was standing on the cold snowfield again without even realizing it.

Unlike the snowfields of the Far East, the snow here... is red.

Yun Ping and the others were nowhere to be seen, and even Fang Yan and Li Junpeng were nowhere to be found.

—Where is this?

Her brain was unable to process such a large amount of changing information in such a short time, and she was stunned.

It wasn't until that loud cry pierced the sky and a flurry of dark shadows swept in that she noticed...

The huge black shadow in the sky was a dragon.

A black dragon with wings that blot out the sky and bloodthirsty crimson eyes.

Those sharp claws, capable of tearing the earth apart, swept towards Chu Xin under her horrified gaze!

25. Black

Standing deep inside the cave, Yunping casually waved away the black, foul fumes rising in front of him, then immediately shut off his sense of smell—this smell was truly unbearable for humans.

He glanced again at the two beautiful female disciples on either side of him, whose arms, gripping their sleeves, were bulging with veins, and whose pretty faces were filled with fear and unease as they had just survived a calamity.

"Alright, you two can let go now..." Noticing the pull from both sides, Yunping smiled helplessly, "If you keep pulling, you'll tear my Taoist robe."

Ye Yuchan was no longer listening to Yun Ping. She grabbed Yun Ping's arm, her eyes wide with shock, and asked, "What was that just now...?"

"It's probably something like a virtual space, right?" Yunping thought about the structure of the secret realm and explained, "It just pulls your consciousness into a small, independent space."

"That...that black dragon..." Ye Yuchan shuddered at the thought of the enormous black dragon that had just flown past her. "Was it real or..."

"That's just a dragon spirit divided into countless parts; it's part of the secret realm." Yun Ping twisted his waist, throwing away Ye Yuchan, the brat who was clinging to his arm. "This secret realm is called a secret realm, but in reality, there are no treasures like relics of saints. It's just an unnecessary safety net."

"Insurance?" Zhang Ruoxue calmed down faster than Ye Yuchan. Her tone was even as she released her grip on Yun Ping's hand. "What do you mean?"

Yunping gestured towards his feet, "Look for yourselves, this so-called secret realm is just the deepest hidden security door, designed to prevent those who have broken through the Azure Sky Array from easily finding this place."
