"Horrible..."
Not far away, Fang Xin watched this scene quietly, her heart already churning with turbulent emotions.
An Unrivaled talent from the South Heaven Departmental Prefecture, a man of Dao Monarch potential, was beaten to death in this way.
Once this news gets out, it will definitely cause a huge uproar and shock everyone.
Her eyes were deep and complex as she carefully examined Jiang Pingping, assessing her strength.
"Even the top three Upper True Disciples of Qingling would find it difficult to suppress this person."
Fang Xin, her emotions surging. The other party was not a true saint, yet he was even more powerful than one.
After a moment, her expression turned strange, and a thought arose in her mind:
Tang Sheng is doomed.
In mid-air, Jiang Ping activated the Karmic Wonderful Method to calculate whether the Shi Zhou had any chance of survival.
The Turtle Shell perched on his head and said, "Kid, don't bother calculating. You've already reduced that guy to ashes; there's no way he could have survived."
Be careful in everything you do, and you won't go wrong.
Jiang Ping only relaxed after seeing that the Causality thread belonging to Shi Zhou had completely broken.
Then, he used his magic to erase all traces of the place, ensuring that not a single clue could be found.
In the end, he was still not reassured and asked the Turtle Shell to check it again.
The Turtle Shell replied, "You're being overly cautious, kid. If you were afraid of causing trouble, why did you kill someone just now?"
"I just don't like trouble. Keep it a secret if you can."
Jiang Ping.
Having reached this level of strength, he had nothing to fear anymore, so what did it matter if the Hengdao Sect found out?
He didn't believe that Dao system would break ties with him over a dead man.
As for cleaning up the murder scene, that was just something he did incidentally.
Finally, after the Turtle Shell glowed and he checked it to make sure there were no problems, Jiang Ping decided to leave.
Before leaving, he exchanged a few pleasantries with Fang Xin and asked her not to leak the matter.
Fang Xin readily agreed and swore an oath to guarantee it.
Ultimately, if it weren't for this person's appearance, she would have died at Shi Zhou's hands long ago. She also harbored hatred and murderous intent towards that person. Jiang Pingping's intervention was a way for her to vent her pent-up anger. She was too busy repaying him to spread the news.
"That's all, see you later."
Jiang Ping waved and hurried off in the southwest direction.
"Kid, after you've helped Lao Jian find his body, you'll have to help Master Turtle too."
"Don't worry, senior."
Jiang Ping smiled.
He wouldn't show favoritism, and if the Turtle Shell regained part of its body, its power would be even greater.
Not long after.
Deep underground, hundreds of thousands of miles into a Wilderness, Jiang Ping seized a fragment of a weapon buried there.
Then, he quickly burrowed back into the ground.
During this process, the Life-Death Sword has merged with this fragment, its body is completely restored, shining brightly and revealing its sharp edge.
Thump!
As soon as Jiang Ping emerged from the ground, he saw a majestic longsword slicing through the sky, illuminating the world like a world-shaking bolt of lightning.
Everything revolves around it, the Great Sun has no light, and the entire Starry Sky is dim.
This sword is too transcendent. It hangs there like an emperor, its domineering aura overwhelming the sky, and the laws of Life-Death and death filling the heavens.
Jiang Ping was deeply moved; with this sword, there was nowhere in the world he couldn't go.
The Turtle Shell was also quite excited, saying, "Young man, this sword is extremely powerful. It was renowned among the Supreme Artifact of its time. Hmm, it's different from other artifacts. I estimate that after some more rest, it will be back to its full strength."
Many Supreme Artifact were shattered, and even if the fragments were later pieced together, it would take a long time to restore them, and various special spiritual materials would be required for nurturing.
Unlike the Life-Death Sword, it controls the laws of Life-Death and is adept at repairing itself.
It took the combined efforts of several powerful Dao Monarch to break this sword during the battle back then.
"Yes, with the Lao Jian, it's enough to protect you for the rest of your life."
"If you have more children, you might actually be able to train a Way of Birth and Destruction through the help of the Lao Jian."
Jiang Ping raised an eyebrow. "Does Senior not even look favorably upon a junior? I am not necessarily incapable of becoming Dao Monarch."
The Turtle Shell sighed, "It's not that I don't have high hopes for you, it's just Master Turtle I've been through too many Master Turtle and I don't really believe in miracles anymore. You're just one of many owners I've encountered in my long life."
It had seen its share of big battles, and had been blown up several times itself.
Many heroes and great figures have lived lives even more spectacular than Jiang Pingping's, yet in the end, they all return to dust and are eventually buried.
"This might be his last term."
Jiang Ping said, though he was quite surprised.
Unlike the Life-Death Sword, this Turtle Shell seems to have existed for a very long time.
Thank you.
The Life-Death Sword dissipated its imperial aura and hovered near Jiang Ping, speaking with gratitude.
It was broken and sealed away for thousands of years, but today it has finally been restored and is shining brightly again.
"Stop dawdling, head north. Even Master Turtle needs to find himself again."
The Turtle Shell urged, already impatient.
The Life-Death Sword returned to its Storage bag, saying, "I need to recuperate for a while, and I may not be able to help you in the future."
"Please go ahead and restore it, senior."
Jiang Ping replied that with the Turtle Shell, he wouldn't lose his life here.
After saying that, he took to the air and headed in the direction the Turtle Shell pointed.
Not long after, Jiang Ping passed by a suspended island.
The island glowed, and terrifying fluctuations emanated from it from time to time, its Origin Law raging wildly.
"Is this a battle between true saints, vying for a Supreme Treasure?"
Jiang Ping saw a large hammer covered in Runes hanging high above, with several people fighting below.
Not long after, someone staggered out, coughing up blood, disheveled, with a violent look in his eyes.
"Even a True Saint has gone mad for the sake of the Supreme Artifact."
Jiang Ping sighed somewhat. The True Saint who had escaped only rested briefly before charging back in a frenzy.
"That hammer is heavy, even more durable than the Life-Death Sword and Death. It seems the battle back then didn't damage it, and it's been preserved intact to this day."
The tortoise Turtle Shell spoke solemnly, startling Jiang Ping, whose eyes lit up with fervor.
But what the Turtle Shell said next poured cold water on his enthusiasm:
"Put away your greed; those are Alien Dao Soldiers."
Jiang Ping was horrified. Through the Turtle Shell's intentional or unintentional words along the way, he had already learned part of the truth about the bloody battle.
That great battle was not an internal dispute within the Xuanhuang World; it involved alien races and visitors from beyond the heavens.
"I'll go and offer some reminders!"
Jiang Ping pondered for a moment, then tried to go over, but was stopped by the Turtle Shell:
"The Life-Death Sword still needs to be nurtured and cannot unleash its full power. If it were to appear now, it might alert the enemy."
Thump!
Jiang Ping suddenly felt as if he was about to ascend to heaven, surrounded by billions of rays of light.
He raised an eyebrow, looking at the incomprehensible seal characters around him, and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what is this?"
The Turtle Shell emitted a dazzling light and said, "I will perform a divination for Xuanhuang."
Then, it concealed this area with forbidden methods, and itself became entangled in divination.
Jiang Ping waited quietly to the side. He already knew that this Turtle Shell was skilled in divination, destiny, and other related abilities.
Bang!
At one point, the remaining piece of Turtle Shell cracked open again.
"Senior!"
Jiang Ping was filled with worry; this was Supreme Treasure had helped him overcome his troubles, and he couldn't bear to see it damaged.
"It's nothing."
The sound of Turtle Shell came, but it sounded much older.
Its radiance deepened, reflecting the image of the great hammer, and it said in a hoarse voice:
"A terrible omen of Xuanhuang!"
