"Ha ha, you'll know once you go. Your current strength is not at all inferior to those Monsters geniuses. It's not a big deal to break into the Sword Master Ranking; the question is how far you can go. If you can comprehend the fusion of the Artistic Conception of Wind and Cloud a bit deeper, I believe entering the top three would be no problem."
"The fusion of the Artistic Conception of Wind and Cloud is not easy," Ren Pingsheng said with a smile, shaking his head.
"That's natural. You should know that only those who have already fused can attempt it, which is unique to sect-level warriors. At this point, they start creating their own martial skills, fusing their proficient Artistic Conception to enhance the power of their techniques. You have already grasped the fusion of the Artistic Conception of Wind and Cloud, but you're still just at the entry level. If you can advance further, I fear no one at the sect level will be your opponent."
"That's a bit exaggerated. In today's world, geniuses are emerging one after another. I can comprehend the fusion of two types of Artistic Conception, but other geniuses can likely do the same. Many of them have significant backgrounds and powerful forces, with conditions far exceeding mine. Even if I can progress again, it only means I won't fear them; to say I'm invincible would be very difficult."
"Indeed, it's good that you have such awareness. The vastness of this world and the wonders of creation are far beyond our understanding. Who can claim to be invincible? Only by maintaining a humble attitude can one continue to improve," Demon Emperor said with a hint of nostalgia in his tone.
"By the way, how come there has been no reaction from the Soul Pursuit Blood Seal after all this time?" Ren Pingsheng seemed unwilling to continue discussing this topic and changed the subject.
"There are only two possibilities. First, those people still don't know that Yuzhou City Lord is dead, so they haven't activated the Soul Pursuit Blood Seal to determine your location. Second, they possess the Life Command Jade Pendant, which can pinpoint your location but for some reason haven't taken action yet. It's also possible they lost track of your whereabouts."
"The Life Command Jade Pendant? It's a pendant that can store a fragment of a person's soul within it; once the person dies, it shatters. Legend has it that when combined with the Soul Pursuit Blood Seal, it can sense the killer's location within millions of miles."
"Exactly. So if they haven't made a move, you need to be cautious. They might be watching you from the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike."
"Sigh, well, worrying about these things now is pointless. However, I didn't expect to obtain a legacy from that Yuzhou City Lord last time; that's quite surprising. Unfortunately, I can't use it right now and don't want to," Ren Pingsheng said with a strange expression while looking at a fire-red orb about the size of a longan in his hand.
He recalled that during his time in the Sword King's Tomb, he had also received a legacy orb from a wood-type individual; he just didn't expect that it would end in such a way. It wasn't that he regretted losing that legacy orb; he just hadn't anticipated that his first relationship would end like that.
"This wine is indeed good; this Drunken Red Dust lives up to its name! Drunken Red Dust, one drink in the red dust leads to dreams in red dust." Ren Pingsheng took out the jade gourd and took a sip, closing his eyes with a dazed expression.
In these two years, he not only made significant progress in his cultivation but also brewed this Drunken Red Dust. The jade gourd he obtained at the Jiangzhou auction was also a miraculous treasure.
Its original name was Wine King Gourd, which contained three spacious layers; each layer could hold a type of fine wine. It also had a magical function that allowed it to brew wine directly. As long as he placed the necessary Materials inside, it could succeed in as little as over a month or as long as several years. This Drunken Red Dust took him a year and a half to brew successfully.
Ren Pingsheng lay on his bed, lost in thought. A night passed quietly without sound.
"Ren Brother, wake up! Let's go out and explore this Nanzhou City today." The day had barely dawned when outside was already bustling with activity. Yi Qingyi was calling from outside.
"This little one really..." Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes and smiled helplessly before getting up to open the door, seeing Yi Qingyi looking frustrated while jumping around outside.
"Ren Brother, you're so grown up, why do you still like to sleep in? Let's go out and have some fun!" She saw the door open and immediately ran in with excitement, pulling on Ren Pingsheng's shirt and smiling.
"You only know how to play. If you could focus on your training, you would have made more progress by now."
"Training is so boring. With Ren Brother protecting me, why do I need to train?" She thought for a moment, tilting her little head and saying it as if it were obvious.
"My cultivation level is still not as high as yours. If anyone should be protecting someone, it should be you protecting me!" Ren Pingsheng joked.
"Okay, then I'll protect Ren Brother now, and Ren Brother is responsible for playing with me."
"Alright, but I can only play with you for one day. I have things to do tomorrow." In the end, he made a concession; he had originally planned to visit the Sword Trial Tower today but would have to go tomorrow instead.
"One day is fine." Yi Qingyi immediately smiled brightly, nodding like a little chick pecking at rice.
Ren Pingsheng also wanted to learn about Nanzhou City since it was his first time here. He needed to gather information about various major forces and talented individuals so that he could recognize them if he encountered them in the future. As a former scholar, he understood the importance of knowledge and information.
"Ren Brother, this is delicious." In the Southern State restaurant, Yi Qingyi was devouring a table full of delicacies, occasionally pointing at a dish and telling Ren Pingsheng about it while sometimes giving her own opinions.
"Haha, as long as it's delicious, take your time eating. If it's not enough, just let them bring more." Ren Pingsheng said with a smile while drinking wine and reading a book. The book introduced the geography and customs of the Southern State. It seemed quite interesting.
There were records about the Trial Tower in it as well, mentioning that the Trial Tower had good effects on sword intent and artistic conception cultivation. It also stated that every three thousand years marked a cycle; whoever could be the first to reach the top of the Trial Tower in their realm would receive part of a mysterious inheritance.
If someone could reach the top of all three realms successfully, they might even obtain the inheritance from the Sword God who created the Trial Tower. There were all sorts of rumors that inspired generations of talents; however, no one had succeeded in the past hundred thousand years.
It was rumored that fifteen thousand years ago, a martial artist named Ni Cangtian succeeded. He later became the last divine-level expert during Ancient Times. This was where all sorts of rumors originated. Since then, no one had succeeded.
In addition to this, Ren Pingsheng found information about the Azure Dragon Palace, which was also one of his purposes for visiting the Southern Region. The Azure Dragon Palace was a superpower at the end of Ancient Times with holy-level experts stationed there. Unfortunately, it was ultimately destroyed in a great battle at the end of Ancient Times. Finally, it activated the Azure Dragon Great Formation, causing the entire sect to disappear.
Thirty thousand years ago, the Azure Dragon Palace first emerged and then reappeared every five thousand years. Inside it contained countless inheritances ranging from respect-level and sect-level to king-level and emperor-level; there were even imperial-level inheritances. As for holy-level inheritances, they remained unclear. Nevertheless, this was astonishing enough for it to be called a land of inheritance.
The Azure Dragon Palace would open again in one year. According to past patterns, its location this time was speculated to be in a gorge two million miles west of Nanzhou City; specifics were still unknown. However, before it opened, the Azure Dragon Token would react—usually half a year in advance.
"To enter the Azure Dragon Palace requires at least sect-level cultivation; there's still a year left—looks like I need to hurry." Ren Pingsheng thought to himself. Although he had the Azure Dragon Token, if his cultivation level wasn't sufficient by then, it would be a huge loss. Therefore, he planned to head to the Sword Trial Tower as soon as possible and strive for a breakthrough in his cultivation level.
Accompanying Yi Qingyi, they wandered around Nanzhou City for a whole day, but the city was so vast that they probably didn't even cover one percent of it. Early the next morning, he got up early and took Yi Qingyi towards the Sword Testing Tower.
In fact, it wasn't long after leaving Nanzhou City that they could see the Sword Testing Tower from a distance. With ninety floors towering over a thousand meters high, it stood out prominently on the flat plains, even in the eyes of these extraordinary martial artists.
"Wow... is this the Sword Testing Tower? It truly is impressive," Ren Pingsheng murmured to himself as he stood outside, his eyes filled with astonishment. This tower was made entirely of an unknown mineral, resembling a treasured sword hidden within its sheath, its sharpness concealed. The closer he got, the more shocking it felt.
At this moment, countless geniuses had already gathered outside the Sword Testing Tower, all at least at the Respect level of cultivation. Each one exuded a deep aura and extraordinary presence, far surpassing ordinary martial artists of the same rank. They looked at the Sword Testing Tower with fervor; anyone with strength could make a name for themselves here.
Ren Pingsheng felt somewhat emotional as he observed his formidable opponents. Most of those outside the Sword Testing Tower were Respect-level martial artists, followed by Sect-level ones, while King-level ones were hardly seen at all. Perhaps their progress was slow, which is why it took them so long to come and challenge themselves.
For Respect-level and Sect-level martial artists, changes in strength occurred rapidly; many would come to test their skills as soon as they made progress, hoping to enter the Top One Hundred rankings.
"The Sword Master Ranking and Warrior Honor List. The names on these should all be geniuses with cultivation levels similar to mine, all at the Perfect stage," Ren Pingsheng said as he entered and observed the two stone tablets from afar, which were engraved with names and brief introductions.
"Xiao Cangjian, Feng Luan, Demon Prince, Tianfeng, Long Yi, Miao Song." He recited these names, which were the top three on the Sword Master Ranking and Warrior Honor List.
"How is this possible? How could he be here!" Ren Pingsheng was taken aback and stared intently at the fourth name on the Warrior Honor List. There it was clearly engraved: Wu Zhi Dao. Initially thinking it might be a coincidence of names, he realized upon reading the introduction that he was from the Eastern Region's Snow State Yunxing Sect; there was no mistake.
However, what puzzled Ren Pingsheng was how he ended up in the Southern Region and left his name at this Sword Testing Tower. It was known that he could only have arrived here by finding an ancient teleportation array beneath the Abyss of Demons. Could it be that he had done something similar?
"Forget it; this person has always been mysterious. Perhaps such coincidences do happen!" Ren Pingsheng shook his head and smiled helplessly. Among the younger generation from Snow State, Wu Zhi Dao was the first person he encountered who was utterly inscrutable and incredibly mysterious.
