Chen Ping's Sword

However, having been in a high position for a long time, the skill of controlling emotions without showing them was practiced to perfection.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Yuantu's calculations are exquisite, decisive from thousands of miles away; from the slightest clues, he has long calculated that Fang Qingzhu would inevitably have intentions, thereby devising this strategy, allowing her to achieve her wish and find the treasure map.

Then, being forced, she had no choice but to run into the Celestial Star Ruins... one for opportunity, two to avoid danger. Mr. Yuantu's grasp of human nature exceeds the finely detailed; even I, as a king, find it hard to match."

"Prince, you overpraise. In strategy, the greatest taboo is taking risks. This strategy of the old man has many uncertain aspects, and can't be considered wise.

Just that, it seems that heaven also stands with the prince, assisted by Heaven's Mandate; the changes in the situation are simply in line with our intentions."

"Hahaha..."

The two exchanged smiles, harmonious between lord and ministers.

"Military Advisor truly sees miles ahead, as long as Fairy Qingzhu enters the ruins and seeks opportunity, then, Chen Ping will inevitably be drawn into the situation, whether he wishes to enter or not, he has to enter.

Once Chen Ping enters, it will be difficult to get out again. Our Lord easily eliminates this formidable foe, then sends his troops swiftly, Jiangnan can be pacified; events unfold so smoothly, not letting the Grand Ancestor back then."

The Commander of the Huwei Army, Xu Yanzong, has always been a perceptive and tactful general.

If not, he wouldn't have ascended to power so smoothly over the years, leading the Huwei Army and Dragon Soaring Army with Xie Daocheng, the younger brother-in-law of True Martial King Ji Changfeng, with an immensely stable position.

His flattery was so exaggerated, and his eyes so astonished, that it made people feel content to the core.

Praising Feng Yuantu is fair enough; this military advisor has always been famous for his meticulous calculations and keen insight into human nature, with strategies interlocking seamlessly, and it's not a first.

Saying more good words is merely icing on the cake.

However, True Martial King Ji Changfeng, continually warning himself with tales from the Grand Ancestor, naturally hopes for a day to emulate the Grand Ancestor's conquest, uniting south and north, establishing dominion.

The title of founding ancestor is unattainable, but being the master of the Renaissance is quite reputable.

At least it's hundreds of times better than Ji Changshou's title.

That figure is condemned by millions as a tyrant.

Compared to him, it would indeed be self-defeating.

"Chen Ping since debuting, can be said to have advanced strategically and cautiously; logically, he wouldn't easily fall into this trap. If there's anyone to blame, it's those muddled Daoists of the Primordial Sect.

Those Daoists, imitating worldly scholars, honored the venerable with concealment, instead of recording the truth of the fifth sect leader Han Lin's venture into the Celestial Star Ruins, and basically deceived Chen Ping greatly."

True Martial King listened with joy, chuckling.

He had ambitions for the world, especially towards Xingqing Prefecture, located in Jiangnan, not far from the Youjing Vice Capital, naturally not overlooking it, and had planted various spies.

The Primordial Martial Arts Hall, being a moderate influence, naturally was no exception, including having informants.

As for the Primordial Sect's glamorous claim that Han Lin intended to break new ground and create a Cultivation Technique, thus going insane, was frankly laughable.

What Cultivation Technique, creating it himself?

Is the Divine Martial Realm so easy to break through?

Even giving him several brains wouldn't suffice.

If truly able to create from nothing, crafting the Divine Martial Realm's technique himself, why would Han Lin risk going to the Celestial Star Ruins for adventure?

The truth is simple; the Royal Library actually holds the records.

Back then, the fifth sect leader of Primordial Sect, Han Lin, alongside Daoist Qingning of Qingwei Sect, Old Monk Yuangtong of Dharma Aspect Sect, and Ji Yunxiu of Great Li Royal Family, ventured into the ruins together.

Three days later, they emerged from the ruins.

It's said that the master from Desert North Vajra Sect collapsed before exiting Soul-Breaking Pass, bleeding from seven orifices, with shattered tendons, dying most peculiarly.

Old Monk Yuangtong of Dharma Aspect Sect lasted a little longer, surviving three months, before perishing in the meditation room, shouting three times before passing, "I understand, I understand."

Afterward, Dharma Aspect Sect covered up the news, unaware of what the old monk truly comprehended.

As for Ji Yunxiu of the Royal Family, he fared no better?

He hurriedly settled his family and roamed for Sacred Essence Fruit, Qingxin Bamboo, and other treasured medicines, sustaining five months, leaving behind the Heavenly Yang Pure Heart Skill before departing.

However, not being one concerned with face, born in the Royal Family, growing up in deceitful surroundings, his skin was long disregarded.

Before leaving, he called his child Ji Changming close, revealing some secrets within the ruins, also leaving behind a book.

Later, this book was housed on the third floor of the Royal Library, inaccessible except to the Royal Family.

In his youth, True Martial King Ji Changfeng, with ambitious aspirations and diligent learning, viewed this book in the Royal Library's third floor.

Naturally, he understood why those masters who ventured into the Celestial Star Ruins perished one by one, with none spared.

"It's simply a trap."

Every time he thought of it, True Martial King would sigh deeply.

In the Celestial Star Ruins, that batch of people had gains; whether it was Martial Arts insights or Secret Skill diagrams, they were overwhelmingly powerful.

Not to mention the Seven Stars Step, Seven-Star Sword, Great Sun Scorching Sun Skill amongst others, but just the technique of mechanism was already wondrous.

Feng Jiuyuan, after emerging from the ruins, survived for two months and thirteen days, leaving some items and diagrams, then departed peacefully.
