The star monarch Jian Chen's words came from the bottom of his heart. He had revealed his true feelings. After all, it was impossible for him to say something like that even if he had become Luo Ping's subordinate, unless he had truly let go of the conflict between him and Luo Ping.
Moreover, the star monarch was a proud cultivation genius. He basically did not take anyone seriously as he cultivated, or it would have been impossible for him to become the sect master of the Valley of the Sacred Sword.
Now that he had become a Grand Ascension Realm expert, his status had become even more different. No matter which organisation he joined in the cultivation world, he would be looked up to and respected by everyone.
Even though that was the case, he still had another identity, which was Luo Ping's subordinate. This was an unchanging fact. Logically speaking, he should have been extremely angry and concerned about it.
But now, he felt no resentment at all apart from gratitude and admiration. This was because he had completely let go of the past and comprehended a higher level of cultivation. His mental fortitude had basically increased by a lot.
At this moment, the star monarch Jian Chen finally said what he had been thinking since he discussed things with Luo Ping. He felt much more relaxed.
"You're too serious, star monarch Jian Chen. To be honest, I did resent you for what you did back then. You hurt my master."
"But my master forgave you afterwards, so I obviously don't resent you too much. Moreover, you've already become my subordinate. We're on the same side, so I obviously can't just watch you die."
"Not to mention that you've successfully undergone the tribulation, which benefits me as well. You can become a powerful helper of mine. Afterwards, you've assisted me in battle time and time again, protecting me. I'm filled with respect for you."
"That's why I say that we've become friends through conflict. We've established a friendship through mutual help."
Luo Ping also expressed his thoughts. He also felt respect for the star monarch Jian Chen, treating him as a true friend.
"Haha, I have no regrets now that I have a friend like the sect master. It looks like the heavens really have treated me well."
The star monarch Jian Chen laughed aloud.
"Of course. Alright, let's get down to business."
Luo Ping also smiled faintly. Then, he did not say anything else and looked towards the boundless Black Abyss.
"Alright, I'll wait for you outside. If anything happens, send me a message immediately."
Star Monarch Jian Chen reminded him out of goodwill.
"I will."
With that, Luo Ping directly flew into the air and entered the black gas of the endless black abyss. As for Star Monarch Jian Chen, he waited patiently outside.
After flying for a short while, Luo Ping entered the first danger zone, which was the gravity zone.
Now that his cultivation had increased, the gravitational field's four times gravity was no longer a threat to him. He was not worried at all as he entered.
As soon as he entered the area of gravity, Luo Ping felt a strong gravitational force. However, with his defense, this gravitational force did not affect his flight.
He only flew for a short distance before stopping there. Then, he did not move at all, like a statue.
In reality, Luo Ping was currently releasing his soul force to sense the situation in the gravity zone. He planned to use the Teleportation Technique to find the location of the Mother Earth Heavy Soil in the gravity zone.
His purpose in entering the endless black abyss this time was to collect the Mother Earth Heavy Soil in the gravity zone. This was because he did not collect enough earth-type treasures before to activate the Earth Spirit Divine Light.
Since the gravity zone had four times the normal gravity, Luo Ping believed that there would definitely be more Mother Earth Heavy Soil than what Che Ye used to set up the formation.
As a result, Luo Ping naturally chose to collect the Mother Earth Heavy Soil in the gravity zone without any hesitation.
After sensing for a while, Luo Ping realized that the gravity zone was extremely huge. If he were to make a conservative estimate, it was at least as big as the mountain gate of a first-rate sect.
Although the range was extremely wide, it wasn't difficult for the current Luo Ping to cover it with his soul power. The only problem was that when he exceeded this range, his soul power would be blocked by a mysterious force when he wanted to extend it further.
Luo Ping tried a few times, but he was unable to break through that force. As a result, he did not persist any longer. Instead, he controlled his soul power to search carefully within the area that he could sense.
"Found it. It's not small. It's enough for me to activate the Earth Spirit Divine Light."
After a period of time, Luo Ping suddenly spoke.
As he spoke, he revealed a bright smile on his face. He looked at a certain spot in the darkness in front of him, and his eyes shone brightly.
Because the gravity zone was huge, and everywhere was four times the normal gravity, the amount of Mother Earth Heavy Soil in this gravity zone was very tempting.
At this moment, Luo Ping was so excited because he had discovered the location of the Mother Earth Heavy Soil. As long as he collected this huge lump of Mother Earth Heavy Soil, he would be able to activate the Earth Spirit Divine Light.
Activating the Spirit Body Divine Light was very crucial and important for body refinement techniques. Luo Ping also had the Innate Five Elements Body, so the Spirit Body Divine Light that he activated was the Five Elements Spirit Body Divine Light.
Now, he was only lacking the Earth Spirit Divine Light. Naturally, he was very anxious. Once he discovered the location of the Mother Earth Heavy Soil, he did not hesitate to release a burst of soul power.
That burst of soul power was extremely fast. Even under four times the normal gravity, it still reached the location of the Mother Earth Heavy Soil in an instant. Then, it started to wrap around it.
Just as that burst of soul power was about to wrap around the Mother Earth Heavy Soil, the lump of Mother Earth Heavy Soil disappeared into thin air. There were no spatial ripples at all.
This scene immediately shocked Luo Ping. Hence, he extended his senses again. This time, he quickly discovered the location of the Mother Earth Heavy Soil.
In order to prevent the Mother Earth Heavy Soil from escaping, Luo Ping released his domain space before he made his move. He wrapped the space around the Mother Earth Heavy Soil.
Following that, he released his soul power again towards the Mother Earth Heavy Soil. Sensing the impending danger, the Mother Earth Heavy Soil immediately disappeared from its original spot. It planned to escape again.
However, this time, the Mother Earth Heavy Soil reappeared not too far away. It did not escape too far away. It was still within Luo Ping's domain space.
Seeing this, Luo Ping smiled slightly. Without any delay, he controlled his soul power to wrap around the Mother Earth Heavy Soil. At this moment, a deep voice suddenly rang out in the dark void.
"Which audacious person actually dares to take the Mother Earth Heavy Earth here?"
The deep voice reverberated throughout the entire gravity zone. It was like a sudden clap of thunder, causing the space to tremble violently.
Luo Ping originally smiled when he saw that the Mother Earth Heavy Soil was about to be collected. However, when that voice rang out, he immediately realized that something was amiss.
"This person's voice is filled with immense power. His cultivation must have reached the Great Ascension Stage."
In Luo Ping's heart, he immediately judged that the person who made the voice had reached the Grand Ascension Stage.
At this moment, a short and round elder appeared 50 miles away from Luo Ping. He was looking at him furiously.
"Which scoundrel dares to collect the Mother Earth Heavy Soil here?"
As soon as the elder appeared, he questioned loudly again.
Seeing the elder's figure and hearing his question, Luo Ping was slightly surprised. However, he remained extremely calm.
"This fat elder is actually a half-step Pseudo Immortal. He's probably the guardian of the gravity region. Looks like I'll have to deal with him first if I want to collect the Mother Earth Heavy Soil."
"However, it's impossible for Jian Chen to defeat him with his cultivation. He'll probably only be able to keep him busy for a while."
"I need to collect the Mother Earth Heavy Soil as quickly as possible in this short period of time."
Luo Ping rapidly thought of a way to deal with this. At the same time, he did not waste any time in replying to the elder.
"Since I'm a scoundrel, there's no need for me to report my name. As for whether I'm overestimating myself, we'll see in a moment."
Luo Ping's tone was filled with a domineering aura, as if he didn't put the old man in his eyes at all. This made the old man feel greatly insulted. He was so angry that he almost jumped up from his seat.
"Brat, you're actually so arrogant. I'll slap you to death with a single palm strike."
As the old man spoke, he suddenly slapped out with his palm. A palm silhouette that was a hundred zhang tall flew out of nowhere and instantly sealed the space around Luo Ping. It contained a world-destroying pressure as it rapidly flew towards Luo Ping's location.
Luo Ping's gaze changed slightly when he saw this. He was rather surprised by the elder's strength. However, he remained where he was without moving at all. He did not counterattack, defend, or dodge. He seemed to be stunned.
"Hmph, you're just putting on a strong front. You've been scared silly by my pressure," thought the elder.
The old man muttered in his heart.
Just as the huge palm was about to strike Luo Ping, an equally huge palm suddenly appeared behind Luo Ping.
The size of the two palms were about the same, and even the power contained within them was almost the same. As soon as the two palms came into contact, a deafening sound immediately erupted, releasing an extremely intense brilliance, illuminating the originally dark gravity region.
However, because the gravity in the Gravity Zone was four times that of normal gravity, the air waves created by the two palm shadows did not spread too far before they disappeared.
At this time, the fat old man with a face full of doubt and surprise fixed his gaze on the position beside Luo Ping.
Beside Luo Ping, Star Monarch Jian Chen also stared at the elder with glowing eyes. Although the clash earlier had ended with them being evenly matched, he knew that he was the one at a disadvantage.
"Just now, I used eighty percent of my strength, and the opponent probably only used twenty to thirty percent. Even so, my palm shadows still couldn't defeat the opponent's palm shadows. It seems that the gap in cultivation is sometimes very difficult to overcome."
