"Wu 'er, you've already had your coronation today. You're now an adult and have inherited the family business. You've restored the glory of the Zhao clan. Tu An Jia has been executed, and I've fulfilled my promise to Gongsun Guojiu. I'm going to tell Gongsun Guojiu this news …"
At this moment, Xia Pingan's hair was completely white. He looked at Zhao Wu, who had just finished his coronation, and spoke softly.
At this moment, Zhao Wu had already gotten his revenge, and was fully aware of his origins. Furthermore, with the support of Duke Jinggong, he had wiped out the Jia Clan. The orphan of the Zhao Clan had now grown up, while Cheng Ying was already old.
However, Xia Pingan knew that the story of Zhao's Orphan was not over. The main character of the story was never Zhao Wu, but Cheng Ying and the long dead Gongsun Cuoju. Cheng Ying used her whole life to explain what loyalty, righteousness, and integrity were, and the true meaning and spirit behind the story of Zhao's Orphan.
Upon hearing Xia Pingan's words, the twenty-year-old Zhao Wu was already sobbing. He knelt in front of Xia Pingan and touched his head to the ground. When he raised his head, his face was covered in tears. "Why did Sir leave me? Even if I were to die, I wouldn't be able to repay Sir's kindness. Won't you give me a chance?"
If I don't tell him, he will think that I didn't fulfill my promise, so I must go. If you stop me and don't allow me to report to Gongsun Guojiu, you will be accusing me of being disloyal and unjust. You will make me too ashamed to face Lord and Gongsun Guojiu after I die. Enough, go out. I'll be alone for a while. Have someone come in tomorrow morning. Remember to bury me next to Gongsun Guojiu! "
As Xia Pingan spoke, he turned his back to Zhao Wu and looked at the tall pine tree in the yard without saying another word.
Zhao Wu wailed and knelt behind Xia Pingan for half a day. In the end, when he saw that Xia Pingan did not turn around, he kowtowed to Xia Pingan several times and slowly left the room with tears streaming down his face.
After Zhao Wu left, Xia Pingan turned around and walked towards a table in the room. He took down the sword on the table and pulled it out with a 'clang' sound. After that, he sighed softly, "Alas, is it over? Cheng Ying, Cheng Ying, it's been hard on you …"
…
The world of the Realm Pearl shattered, and the divine power limit of the secret mandala increased to 8,263 points. Cheng Ying and Gongsun Cujo sat opposite each other on the spell seat of a bronze statue. They bowed to each other.
This was the spell slot of the Substitution Technique.
The Substitution Technique could not be used continuously. Instead, the divine power consumed by the full moon and the secret mandala would automatically replenish itself every month. There was only one chance to use the Substitution Technique every month.
The Substitution Technique was a passive technique. Every time it was activated, it would consume 99 points of divine power to protect oneself. Once an attack or spell that could end one's life approached, the Substitution Technique would be activated at the most critical moment, allowing the user to avoid death in that instant. The substitute would replace the user's body and teleport the user out of danger. As for how far the teleportation would be, it depended on the user's cultivation realm.
To a certain extent, this secret technique was equivalent to giving the user an extra life.
The Substitution Technique was ineffective against poisons and only reacted to attacks.
…
In the secret room, Xia Pingan opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. Even though he had already left the world of the Realm Pearl, this story still left him deeply moved and unable to calm down for a long time.
The wise and brave Gongsun Cujo and Cheng Ying had left behind this secret technique for all summoners in the future.
…
The only thing left was the Realm Pearl of the Earth Escape Technique.
Looking at the lively little person in the Realm Pearl that kept burrowing into the ground, Xia Pingan calmed himself down. He dripped blood again and began the fusion.
This Realm Pearl was too strange. Ever since he fused with the Realm Pearl, he had no idea how to fuse with it. He had no clue at all.
He could only try his luck.
For the third time, Xia Pingan was surrounded by an earthen-yellow cocoon of light.
…
Xia Pingan opened his eyes and found himself on a beautiful island. The waves were crashing around him and the sky was blue and white clouds were above him. The island was like a paradise.
Where was this place? Xia Pingan's mind was a little muddled.
Who was he now?
Xia Pingan did not know either. He looked at the clothes he was wearing. They were very simple linen clothes that looked very old. Other than the clothes, he did not have anything on him that could prove his identity.
Seeing a small stream nearby, Xia Pingan hurriedly ran toward it.
The stream gurgled and was so clear that one could see the bottom. Colorful pebbles could be seen everywhere in the stream. There were also some small fish swimming happily in the stream.
Xia Pingan squatted by the stream and used the pebbles in the stream to surround the calm water surface. Then he lowered his head and looked at his reflection on the water surface. The reflection that appeared in the stream was not someone else's face, but Xia Pingan's own face.
Xia Pingan was stunned. What was going on?
This was the first time he had seen such a situation. In the past, he had always become someone else in the Realm Pearl. Why did he become himself in this mythical Realm Pearl?
Just as Xia Pingan lowered his head to look at the stream, the sky was reflected in the stream. A purple rainbow flew across the sky and happened to be seen by Xia Pingan in the stream.
Xia Pingan immediately got up and looked in the direction that the rainbow had disappeared. He realized that it was the mountain in the middle of the island. He thought for a moment and immediately rushed toward the mountain in the middle of the island.
There were no dangerous creatures on the island. A few hours later, Xia Pingan finally climbed to the mountain where the purple rainbow had disappeared with a wooden spear made of tree branches.
When Xia Pingan climbed to the mountain, he was stunned. He saw a fat Daoist surrounded by immortal aura. He was sitting in front of a cave in the middle of the mountain. With the mountain behind him as a screen, he was inhaling clouds and exhaling fog. He seemed to be absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in a rather leisurely manner.
Above the cave, there were three simple and unadorned small seal characters with the words "Flying Cloud Cave".
When the Daoist saw Xia Pingan climbing up the mountain, he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes flashed and he smiled. "Another one who wants to learn the Earth Escape Technique from me. Well, according to my rules, as long as you can say my name, I will teach you the Earth Escape Technique!"
Anyone who fused with this kind of Realm Pearl would be stunned!
Xia Pingan was also stunned. He turned his gaze to the cave behind the Daoist. The words "Flying Cloud Cave" were like a bolt of lightning that lit up a story and character in Xia Pingan's memory.
Flying Cloud Cave? Flying Cloud Cave of Clamping Dragon Mountain? This was the dojo of Ju Liu Sun, one of the 12 Jade Void Immortals of the Chan Sect in the myths.
Wait, in the myths, Ju Liu Sun was the master of Tu Xing Sun. Tu Xing Sun's Earth Escape Technique was taught to him by Ju Liu Sun.
Xia Pingan looked at the Daoist's waist. Indeed, there was a purplish-gold rope around the Daoist's waist … Immortal Binding Rope?
"Junior Xia Pingan pays his respects to Exalted Immortal Ju Liu Sun!" Xia Pingan bowed deeply to the Daoist.
"Hahaha, since you can say my name, then we are fated. Well, I will teach you the Earth Escape Technique!" Ju Liu Sun laughed loudly and pointed casually. A golden light entered Xia Pingan's forehead. "You have already learned the Earth Escape Technique. Quickly leave the mountain and don't disturb my cultivation."
As Ju Liu Sun spoke, he waved his hand at Xia Pingan and then continued to breathe in the clouds, ignoring him.
Xia Pingan was stunned that he learned it so easily. He guessed that once he left the mountain, the world of this Realm Pearl would probably shatter.
This Mythical Realm Pearl could be the hardest to fuse with, but it could also be the easiest to fuse with. Everything depended on one's ability.
However, Xia Pingan wasn't in a hurry to leave. As long as the Realm Pearl didn't completely shatter and leave, it meant that he still had the possibility of improving.
"Apart from the Earth Escape Technique, I heard that Exalted Immortal Ju Liu Sun has a mystic technique that can restrain the Earth Escape Technique. I wonder if Exalted Immortal can teach me the Earth Escape Technique?" Xia Pingan continued to bow and asked.
Ju Liu Sun opened his eyes and looked at Xia Pingan again. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. "You should know that I know the Earth Escape Technique. Who told you?"
"The twelve Exalted Immortals of the Jade Void Palace are famous. I naturally know that Exalted Immortal Ju Liu Sun. Apart from the Earth Escape Technique, I also know that Exalted Immortal Binding Rope is unique."
"Hahaha, you are smart. It seems that we are fated to be together. However, I can't break the rules I set. I can only teach you the Earth Escape Technique this time. If you can see me again and pass the test I gave you, I will teach you the Earth Escape Technique that can restrain the Earth Escape Technique!"
"Then how can I see you again?" Xia Pingan hurriedly asked.
"How did you see me this time? It will be the same next time!" As Ju Liu Sun spoke, he waved his hand and the world of the Realm Pearl shattered.
