Using the Heaven-Stealing Great Art, He Ping directly transformed into Sheng Yuzhou's appearance. He then wielded his dharma power, employing the Purple Armor Hall's Tai Sui Ground-Shrinking Method and the Buddhist lineage's Wei Tuo Divine Movement Technique. He raced through the mountains and forests, each step seeming like a massive plow overturning the earth; with a flicker of his body, he crossed hundreds of li.
He moved at extraordinary speed. Cultivating both Buddhist and demonic divine abilities, each time his feet touched the ground, he could turn distance into nearness, fold space, and compress the earth veins. In less than half a day, he silently entered Zhonghuan Prefecture and arrived directly in Yujing City.
Yujing City was the largest city within Great You and the most prosperous place under heaven.

"Yujing City really is enormous!"
This was also He Ping's first visit to Great You's capital. The city consisted of three sections: the central palace city, the imperial city, and the outer city.

Molten iron had been poured into the seams between the stones, and dense rune patterns had been secretly inscribed upon the black stone surfaces through secret arts.
Only cultivators could perceive these hidden runes. He guessed that the city wall itself was a great formation, capable of drawing in and exhaling the primordial qi of heaven and earth, linking with the earth veins. Once fully activated, the entire formation could even seal space
