"By the way, I don't know who Senior is?" Ren Pingsheng weighed it in his heart for a long time and finally accepted the identity of this so-called Ancient Lan Divine Art inheritor.
"Hehe, I am the inheritor of the previous generation, so when I see you, I think of myself back then. Work hard; your current strength is too weak."
"Senior, how can I quickly become stronger?"
"Becoming stronger? This cannot be achieved overnight; it can only be done step by step. However, in this space, there is a Spirit Gathering Array that I set up back in the day. You also have a Spirit Stone in your hand. If you activate it, it can help you improve your strength further. It's over there; you can give it a try." The figure glanced at a corner of the platform and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Senior, I'll give it a try right now." Ren Pingsheng's face brightened as he quickly walked to that corner of the platform and indeed saw some traces of the formation. He swiftly placed five mid-grade Spirit Stones into five grooves.
The surrounding formation lit up within a few breaths, and he felt an invisible attraction around him. Then, waves of rich Spiritual Energy began to gather.
"This formation is called the Gathering Spirit Array. It can quickly gather Spiritual Energy, making it much more effective for a Cultivator to practice inside. Hurry up and cultivate!" The figure outside gently urged.
"This opportunity cannot be missed." He immediately sat cross-legged, focused his mind, and began to cultivate. The dense Spiritual Energy around him was continuously absorbed at a speed that was indeed six or seven times faster than usual.
"Since there's such rich Spiritual Energy, let's break through to Refining Qi Twelve Layers!" Ren Pingsheng began to push through the twelfth Meridian. With resilient Meridians and ample Spiritual Energy, he had no reservations at all.
An hour passed, and the Spiritual Energy in the Gathering Spirit Array had already risen into a faint mist, which was the effect of the concentrated Spiritual Energy gathering together.
They didn't need Ren Pingsheng to absorb them; they rushed into his body one after another. Right now, all of Ren Pingsheng's thoughts were focused on unblocking his Meridians. Waves of rising Spiritual Energy continuously impacted the clogged Meridians, and the speed at which the twelfth Meridian was unblocked increased rapidly.
Days passed quietly as Ren Pingsheng sat still without any reaction. Meanwhile, he was unaware that thousands of miles away at the Azure Wind Sword Sect, his situation had already caused quite a stir.
"Is there still no news about Ren Pingsheng?" Zhu Tianchao asked with a somewhat grim expression.
"Vice Master, we have sent out quite a few people to search the area, but we still haven't received any news," Elder Wu replied honestly.
"It shouldn't be like this. It's been three months. If he were alive, there would definitely be some news by now. Even if he is dead, we should be able to find a body."
"That's the most puzzling part. In the Black Crow Forest, among the dead were five disciples from our Azure Wind Sword Sect, the First Elite Disciple of the Tiger Howl Sect, the First Elite Disciple of the Yunxing Sect, and several Loose Practitioners. According to the Inner Sect Disciple who reported it, Ren Pingsheng was also there at that time. The deaths of these people must be related to him. But where exactly did he go?"
"That's what I've been wondering as well. Although it's good for us that the First Elite Disciples from the other two sects are dead, if something happened to Ren Pingsheng as well, it would still be a loss for our sect," Zhu Tianchao said, tapping his fingers on the armrest of his chair, feeling somewhat frustrated.
"However, if these people all died at Ren Pingsheng's hands, then his strength is truly terrifying and far beyond our expectations," Elder Wu said with a dazed expression, filled with emotion.
"This is why I hope we can find him soon. That Qin Shan from Yunxing Sect has been searching for him like a madman ever since his disciple died. I wonder where he got his information."
"Vice Master, people from Yunxing Sect and Tiger Howl Sect have come again, demanding that we hand over Ren Pingsheng," a steward suddenly entered, looking troubled.
"Hmph, they really are audacious. Just in time; I wanted to ask them about the whereabouts of our sect's disciples!" Zhu Tianchao's expression turned cold as he vanished from sight. Elder Wu followed behind with a somewhat helpless look.
"Vice Master Zhu, where is your sect's Ren Pingsheng? It would be best to hand him over quickly; I must personally avenge my disciple," Qin Shan from Yunxing Sect shouted angrily.
"Vice Master Zhu, our Cheng Hu from Tiger Howl Sect also died at his hands; you must give us an explanation," Yang Zongtian from Tiger Howl Sect said in an accusatory manner. He was the Elder who led the Tiger Howl Sect during the last Azure Wind Secret Realm event.
"Explanation? What explanation? I want an explanation from you! Several Elite Disciples from my Azure Wind Sword Sect died in Black Crow Forest; who can tell me what happened? I even suspect that your two sects' First Elite Disciples killed them!" Zhu Tianchao asked with a cold face.
"Is there any need to ask? It must be that little bastard Ren Pingsheng who did it," Qin Shan said angrily.
"Oh, as if you saw it with your own eyes. Are you trying to say that several of our Azure Wind Sword Sect's Elite Disciples were also killed by him?"
"This... what's impossible about that?"
"Hmph, I suspect it was the two of your sects who did it. No one knows if only your two sects' First Elite Disciples were present at the time. It could have been some old geezer's doing; otherwise, why is he now missing without a trace?" Zhu Tianchao narrowed his eyes and stared fiercely at the two.
Yang Zongtian from the Tiger Howl Sect's eyes narrowed. This statement held a different meaning in his ears. After all, Zhao Jingshan had also been missing for half a month. Generally, an Elder would leave a message even if they were in seclusion. But he had completely disappeared without a word. Could it really be... he thought to himself.
"What? I see Elder Yang's reaction seems to suggest you know something," Zhu Tianchao caught that slight change.
"Ah, how could that be? Our Tiger Howl Sect has also suffered significant losses."
"Hmph, I don't care what your thoughts are. Until things are clarified, don't throw any dirty water on our Azure Wind Sword Sect. Good day!" Zhu Tianchao waved his hand and turned to leave, leaving the two with grim expressions, unsure of what to say.
"Very well, since that little bastard is not around, I'll go find him myself. I don't believe I can't find him," Qin Shan said with fire in his eyes before walking away without looking back.
"Hehe, if your sect has any news, be sure to inform us at Tiger Howl Sect," Yang Zongtian said with a smile before leaving as well.
"Increase the manpower; we must find Ren Pingsheng," Zhu Tianchao commanded immediately upon returning to the Assembly Hall.
"Vice Master, I'll take care of it right away!" Elder Wu hurriedly went off to give orders.
“Ren Pingsheng, ah, Ren Pingsheng, I wonder where you are. Did you really do this?” Zhu Tianchao murmured to himself with a somewhat obscure expression.
The inheritance space was quiet, and Ren Pingsheng was still sitting in the Gathering Spirit Array, where the Spiritual Energy had become so dense that it was almost liquefied, tightly wrapping around him.
Suddenly, the Spiritual Energy in the Gathering Spirit Array fluctuated and surged into Ren Pingsheng's body at an even faster pace.
“Whew... finally going to break through.” Ren Pingsheng, who had been sitting still, opened his eyes. His aura fluctuated as he had just opened the twelfth Meridian.
“At the Qi Refinement Stage, level twelve. For an ordinary person, this would be considered complete. They could work towards breaking through to become a Warrior Strongman. Unfortunately, I am not an ordinary martial artist; next, I still need to start opening the Extraordinary Meridians. There is still a long way to go.”
Feeling the increased Spiritual Energy and strength within him, he thought with a mix of joy and helplessness.
“You've broken through.” A figure floated over from somewhere and asked lightly.
“Thanks to your guidance, I have indeed broken through,” Ren Pingsheng replied respectfully. “By the way, Senior, can I continue to cultivate here? The Spiritual Energy here is abundant and could save me quite a bit of time.”
“Of course you can. However, it has already been three months and ten days; this space will automatically close in twenty days, so you only have that much time left.”
“Twenty days? That's not bad; it's certainly better than cultivating outside. By the way, Senior, will you also leave when that time comes?” This was something Ren Pingsheng was concerned about.
“I am merely a remnant soul; after the space closes, I will quickly dissipate,” the figure said with a light laugh.
“But aren't you a Divine-Level Expert? Can such a powerful being really die?”
“Even a Divine-Level Expert can die; there is no true immortality in this world! The longevity we pursue, the immortality we seek, may just be a kind of luxury!” The figure expressed a mix of sentiment and confusion.
“Then what’s the point of cultivating like this?” Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but ask.
“Cultivation is naturally for becoming stronger, to prove oneself, and to protect those you want to protect. Even if immortality is merely a luxury, it is still worth striving for. You must believe that sometimes miracles can happen.”
“Miracles? Regardless of whether they happen or not, I will work hard on my cultivation; I still have many things to do!”
“Yes, that's right. Don’t think about anything else; just focus on your cultivation. When one day you stand at the peak, looking back at all these efforts will make it worthwhile.” The figure said with a smile and then floated away into the distance, like willow catkins in the wind.
“By the way, Senior, do you know where the remaining Ancient Lan Divine Art techniques are?” Ren Pingsheng suddenly remembered this matter and hurriedly asked.
“You already have the Map, don’t you? Go find it yourself; this is a test.”
“Uh… alright!” Ren Pingsheng had hoped to save some trouble, but it seemed impossible now. It appeared that he would still have to put in the effort himself.
“Senior, I have another question. Since the inheritor is the protector of the last survival of the human race, there can't be just you alone, right? Isn’t there a created force?”
“A force? That’s unnecessary; only the weak create forces. When your strength is sufficient, everything else becomes irrelevant.” The voice of the figure echoed from afar.
“Okay then, I guess I’ll go cultivate!” Ren Pingsheng felt conflicted, realizing that he couldn’t connect with this ancient Senior from who knows how many tens of thousands of years ago.
