Chapter 150: It's Time for You to Hit the Road
"Just a wisp of Divine Soul, and you actually think you're invincible?"
At some point, Chen Pingping had opened his eyes. All his internal injuries had dispersed, his vitality was surging, full of youthful vigor, and his eyes sparkled with a lively spirit.
The Six Tao of Reincarnation had already suppressed the Power of Destruction.
Zi Ji was overjoyed. "Senior Brother!"
The man who claimed to be a god raised the corners of his mouth, looking at Chen Pingping with a teasing gaze.
Although he sensed something extraordinary about him, as the Netherworld's most exalted first divine general, who in his prime was powerful enough to challenge a Great Emperor, he naturally didn't take a mere cultivator seriously.
BANG!
Lao Huang lightly stamped the ground, and a tremendous force erupted from beneath, like countless Sword Dao slashing towards the sky. The overwhelming Power Path burst forth, actually suppressing that so-called "god."
He was surprised. "A Spiritual Beast?"
MOO!
Another strike, the Power Path piercing through the "god's" body.
He was astounded. "Quite interesting."
A wisp of Divine Soul was dissipating. He laughed. "This ox isn't bad. I want it the next time we meet."
Chen Pingping spoke up, "The next time we meet, I shall slay you."
At the end of the Heavenly Road, a god. So that's what this is all about...
After dismissing the "god," he turned to Zi Ji. "It's all right now."
No wonder this girl had such exceptional talent; she was a princess from the Netherworld, going through her ninth Reincarnation, was it? Eh! Complicated!
Chen Pingping shook his head, momentarily at a loss for what to say.
He was a transmigrator! And he carried a system, meant to just drift along and wait for death, yet fate wouldn't allow it.
Breeding Exclusive System:
Host: Chen Pingping, Active Days 6,999.
Pet 1: Lao Huang, Level 8, Days of Breeding 6,800.
Pet 2: Hei the little black dog, Level 6, Days of Breeding 6,200.
Pet 3: Descendant of the Ancient Phoenix, bloodline concentration 15%.
Pet 4: Devouring Sky Beast, growth +5%.
Breeding Level: Level 6.
Why is my level still 6? Is it because of the Divine King?
He glanced at the system panel and was immediately speechless.
The progression had seemed fast enough, leveling up with gusto. However, ever since he reached the Divine King Realm, this realm remained stubbornly stagnant, regardless of how many years of cultivation he was rewarded.
Too hard!
He felt an immense pressure.
The overall level of the Central Continent was higher than Nan Zhanbu Province. It boasted major powers, superpowers, and many terrifying seniors. If he couldn't improve soon, not only would he be unable to protect Zi Ji during her cultivation, but he might not even survive himself.
But this way of leveling up... Setting aside the slow pace of improvement for Lao Huang and Hei, I only have two choices: either help the Descendant of the Ancient Phoenix grow or find a pile of resources for Mao Qiu to devour. Venturing into forbidden zones is too risky. The readily available resources already have owners, but... it's still a good method.
Chen Pingping pondered, the words "Bai Family, Chong Tower" flashing through his mind.
After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty is Zi Ji's birthplace; I can't be too excessive. These two families bear a grudge against me and have acted against me time and again... You're the ones!
...
The pathfinders had attacked several times, black arrows pierced through the sky, pinning Guang Xiaoyu within the Void. She was livid. A mere Cultivating Demon daring to strike against a Great Emperor?
Guang Xiaoyu prepared to circulate her Nine Revolutions Demon God Skill when a voice reached her ears, "No need!"
It was so familiar! It was her Senior Brother's voice.
She was overjoyed, but then said in an aggrieved tone, "Senior Brother! He bullied me."
With that, the atmosphere at the scene changed instantly. Everyone became alert, guessing that Chen Pingping hadn't left but not knowing where he was concealing himself. Was he about to emerge now?
His concealment in the Yuan World completely shattered. Chen Pingping walked out, holding Zi Ji's hand, his face serene, his eyes clear, as he glanced over the pathfinders nearby.
He flicked his fingers, and six sword lights fell.
The pathfinder was sent flying on the spot. After stabilizing himself, he focused intensely on Chen Pingping and hoarsely uttered two words, "Heavenly Road."
"It's your time to depart," Chen Pingping spoke up, attacking once more.
His Six Tao Reincarnation Skills seemed to be particularly effective, pressing down on the pathfinder so much that he couldn't even strike back, only able to watch helplessly as the attacks came.
A sword strike, a punch.
A black vortex emerged, and Chen Pingping threw the pathfinder's body into it. Thus... the pathfinder fell.
Such a decisive method shocked everyone.
"Has he broken through to the royal path?" people asked with serious expressions.
"Probably not..."
"He's too strong, right? He's already invincible among the younger generation! Who can defeat him?"
"Isn't there still the Moon God?"
"I feel his state is very strange, not like his true self, and his realm is the same!"
In several confrontations, Chen Pingping's strength had already deterred many powerful rivals—the Bai Family, Chong Tower, Great Zhou, and those restless geniuses.
If they want to compete for the Yuan World, they probably have to weigh their own strength.
"There's a problem," the Saintess muttered.
She had detected something but couldn't see through it.
In front of him, a layer of black mist obscured his fate.
On Long Street, Chen Pingping led Zi Ji, scanning the surroundings, gazing at those formidable enemies, those visible and those hidden.
Although he said nothing, his dark pupils conveyed everything—anyone who made a move would be killed without mercy.
Everyone held their breath.
Zi Ji felt it too and was deeply moved.
Guang Xiaoyu came down from the Void, cursing and swearing, "Senior Brother, they are too shameless, especially the Bai Family and Chong Tower. Let me tell you..."
"I know!"
"Eh, you don't even know what I'm going to say?"
"Aren't you just asking me to make a move and destroy the Bai Family and Chong Tower?" Chen Pingping rolled his eyes. "Right?"
COUGH! COUGH!
Guang Xiaoyu laughed sheepishly, "Of course not, I just wanted to vent a bit, that's all!"
"And then?"
"No 'and then'..."
"Then I'm leaving."
"Don't go, Senior Brother!"
The three walked further and further away.
Behind them, no one dared to follow, all wary of Chen Pingping's formidable strength.
Only after leaving Chaoge City did Chen Pingping stop and instruct, "Take Junior Sister back to the Great Zhou Imperial City."
"Senior Brother, where are you going?"
"I have some matters to deal with," he said.
"Take me with you!" Guang Xiaoyu exclaimed. "I want to go too."
"Be good. Junior Sister has just started her cultivation and needs someone to escort her..."
"What if they make a move?" Guang Xiaoyu felt depressed. She couldn't stop so many people.
"They won't!" Chen Pingping said. "With me here, they won't act rashly."
"But you won't be..."
SMACK!
Her retort was met with a knock on the head.
Chen Pingping spoke fiercely, "Did you forget the introductory Dharma Principle?"
Guang Xiaoyu: "..."
"Scram now," Chen Pingping glared at her. "Just bring Hei and Lao Huang with you."
Although I'm reluctant... Senior Brother is supreme. Oh, no, I can't beat him now, so he is for now, but maybe not in the future.
Guang Xiaoyu pouted. Wait and see! One day, this Great Emperor will dazzle your eyes. Damn it, how dare he be fierce to me.
They dashed off in different directions.
It was then that Zi Ji spoke up, "Senior Sister, I don't want to go back to the Imperial City."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Guang Xiaoyu was speechless. You should have said that in front of Chen Pingping! What use is telling me? I can't beat Senior Brother! But...
Her eyes twinkled, and she chuckled slyly, "The journey back to the Imperial City from here is too long; it may take a very long time. What do you think, Junior Sister?"
A long time indeed—we could take half a year to arrive, or even one or two years.
Zi Ji understood. "Is that okay?"
Guang Xiaoyu responded carelessly, "What's there to be afraid of? Senior Brother won't know. Besides, I'm going to take you to do something big."
"What big thing?" Zi Ji asked.
"To destroy the Bai Family!" Guang Xiaoyu revealed a fierce intention.
"..."
"Don't worry, I have an ace up my sleeve," she said, glancing at Lao Huang.
The latter rolled its eyes.
