Jiang Ping watched the group in white leave without giving chase.
At this moment, his face was also deathly pale, devoid of any color.
Once his opponent disappeared from sight, he collapsed completely, kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.
Although the Ten Thousand Laws Domain was powerful, it consumed too much energy, and Jiang Ping was almost exhausted.
"The World-Anchoring Sword should still be kept as a trump card and not used lightly."
Jiang Ping muttered to himself, carefully reviewing the battle.
Although he had just displayed unparalleled power, even causing a corner of the River Map Sword to be missing.
Overall, he was only slightly better than the man in white, and couldn't even keep the man there.
This is only a slightly above-average direct disciple of the Jade Palace Prefecture. If they were to encounter someone stronger, such as True Disciple like Ming Chanjuan, it would be even more difficult to win.
"Still not strong enough!"
Jiang Ping sighed softly.
"Daozhen!"
He raised an eyebrow, recalling the name the man in white had mentioned before leaving.
This is a direct descendant of the Jade Palace Prefecture, whose reputation is renowned throughout Qingling. He is the most talented monster of this Dao system in the present generation.
"Who cares? Nobody's here yet, what's there to be afraid of?"
Jiang Ping stopped thinking about it. He would wait until he had enough contribution points to enter the Heavenly Heart Cave and then fight it out to find out who was stronger.
Buzz!
Just as he was resting, a thunderous sound came from the distant sky.
It was a giant serpent, its head larger than a mountain.
Jiang Ping's eyes gleamed with a sinister light. His battle with the white-clad figure was earth-shattering, but it didn't attract any other teams. Instead, the little snake had been lurking nearby the whole time.
Seeing that he was exhausted, the other party dragged his towering body closer.
This snake possessed an astonishing aura, its entire body radiating a terrifying, Order glow, and its tongue flicked like thunder.
Its head shrunk, making it look even more terrifying, and its exhaled gas corroded everything in its path.
You dare to take advantage of someone in distress?
Jiang Ping stood up and said softly, "Rebirth!"
Seeing the immense vitality surging from his body, he quickly returned to his peak condition.
The giant snake's enormous pupils visibly contracted.
Bang!
It turned and fled, but Sword Light shot into the sky behind it, accompanied by a loud shout, "Where do you think you're going!"
Not long after.
Jiang Ping walked again along the path leading deeper into the ruins, now holding a snakeskin, but with a hint of regret on his face:
"I wanted to ambush the other enemies, but unfortunately none of them showed up."
Clearly, this all-out battle, though thrilling, caused not a ripple in the ruins.
The surrounding Dao Mark was shrouded in mystery, and everyone else remained completely unaware.
"Gather resources first, so we can enter Heavenly Heart Cave."
The Past Body appeared at the right time, consciously taking the lead in exploring the path.
The two continued their journey, one in front of the other, and soon arrived at the location where they would gather the third Legendary Great Medicine.
"Yes, we need to be more careful from now on; the future is unknown."
"Past Body," he said in a deep voice.
Afterwards, they explored the area and collected herbs, and before they knew it, they had reaped a bountiful harvest, with the various resources they gathered worth tens of thousands.
Of course, most of the time the Past Body would gather the herbs, while Jiang Ping himself would remain in a safe position to observe.
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ping ventured over 6,000 li into the ruins, and the resources he collected were enough to exchange for 110,000 to 120,000 contribution points.
"That's not enough. You're still far from being able to enter the Heavenly Heart Cave."
Jiang Ping murmured.
In fact, if his original contribution points were taken into account, he would already be able to enter the Blessed Land to cultivate.
However, considering that cultivating the <Human Emperor Scripture> is extremely resource-intensive, I still feel that the current harvest is too little.
"That's enough, let's go, let's get going again."
Beside him, the Past Body, who was recuperating, opened his eyes.
After encountering the White-Clad True Disciple, he faced several crises while gathering herbs, and once he was even directly blasted apart by the remnants of the Dao Monarch's power.
That is, the original body. With his Past Body scouting and gathering herbs, other teams would inevitably suffer casualties.
During this time, Jiang Ping tried to communicate with the Broken Sword. If he could awaken this nameless artifact, with the Broken Sword's ability to devour True Saint Artifact at will, he should be able to roam freely in the ruins.
Unfortunately, the Broken Sword showed no sign of reviving, prompting Jiang Ping to curse it several times. He lost two True Sacred Artifacts and also incurred the Causality of a monster.
"Don't worry about it. When you're strong enough, this sword will just be a toy, and it might even be begging to beg you for its favor."
The Past Body spoke calmly, expressing optimism about the future of the present self.
Then, they continued gathering herbs as they traveled, and soon they smelled a rich aroma of herbs.
"A great opportunity awaits!"
Jiang Ping's eyes lit up as he looked toward the end of the forest, where it seemed to be a Medicine Garden, growing all kinds of rare herbs, including several legendary treasures.
"There's a problem; it seems like it was artificially raised."
Past Body raised an eyebrow slightly and stopped before the trees.
He noticed that this mountain forest was filled with astonishing Runes, with terrifying Dao Pattern engraved on everything from the unnoticed pebbles to the grass and trees.
"How could this be? People still live here?"
Jiang Ping was puzzled, but he quickly realized what was happening and said in a deep voice, "There must be an unimaginable demon lurking here."
"A true saint-level great demon."
He spoke with absolute certainty in the Past Body.
"Um?"
Jiang Ping suddenly looked up and saw the thick clouds above the mountains and forests dissipate, revealing a middle-aged man dressed in black.
The other person had a cold expression, and his demonic Demon Qi was terrifyingly thick. The overflowing Order Light was like a surging, mighty river.
"This is bad! The True Saint is blocking our way!"
Past Body stepped back; this was no longer an existence he could contend with.
The deity was moved, his expression solemn; this was the first time he had encountered a true saintly Demon.
"We do not wish to disturb the peace of this place; please make way for us."
Although he was hesitant in the Past Body, he spoke with neither arrogance nor servility.
However, he found himself dissipating, turning into a rain of light that disappeared into his true form.
It's too late.
Jiang Ping spoke softly.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man in black opened his mouth, revealing sharp teeth. His entire face turned violent, and he spoke in a ferocious manner:
"Humans, die!"
Without a doubt, Jiang Ping is once again experiencing an unprecedented battle.
He is fighting against a truly Unrivaled saint.
The opponent was Qilin, but its entire body was jet black, exuding Demon Qi aura.
Sulfuric acid!
Jiang Ping dared not be careless in the slightest, instantly unleashing his strongest form. The Ten Thousand Laws Domain spread, Sword Qi energy soared into the sky, and the Order Light expanded infinitely.
Rumble!
Apart from the Medicine Garden, the rest of the terrain was flattened.
Jiang Ping's every sword strike was earth-shattering, but his opponent simply raised his hand and blocked it.
He was somewhat lost in thought, sensing a profound sense of Order emanating from the other's body. The Black Qilin's power of Rules was as vast and boundless as an Abyss.
He finally understood why many True Disciples, despite their extraordinary talents and ability to fight against true saints, could only be described as "resisting" them, because they simply could not win against such beings.
Bang!
Jiang Ping drew his sword again, and surprisingly shattered one of the Black Qilin's giant hooves, a feat that even the True Saint was caught off guard and found astonishing.
Jiang Ping was even more astonished to find that his opponent's hooves had instantly recovered without any decline, and were still in full strength.
Jiang Ping's body was like Heaven and Earth Furnace, burning all things and melting Ten Thousand Laws. The overflowing Qi Mechanism even made the True Saint Qilin feel wary.
At this moment, Jiang Ping applied the power of Ten Thousand Laws to his eyes, forming the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws.
He looked directly into the true saint's eyes and saw through his true nature.
