Chapter 139: Chapter 135: Commanding the Cudgel Between Heaven and Earth! Chapter 139: Chapter 135: Commanding the Cudgel Between Heaven and Earth! What appeared to be an ordinary white weapon of ordinary quality was constantly emitting a murderous intent that could shatter everything!

Within this murderous intent, bursts of mana occasionally erupted from the Hundred Plays Steel Rod, and even a faint staff Qi could be seen shooting out.

“Fellow Taoists, Sword Control!”

The immortal hero drama playing on TV showed a group of Zong Sect disciples immediately taking off in flight with sword control. Although Li Ping’an knew it was staged, he still envied them immensely.

With a swish, following a chopping move with the rod, Li Ping’an’s actions suddenly stiffened, but his mind suddenly opened up, inspired by the drama. His divine thought became active, and he abruptly released the Hundred Plays Steel Rod from his hand.

“Concentrate the spirit!”

The moment the Hundred Plays Steel Rod slipped from Li Ping’an’s hand, he immediately focused his divine sense on it.

“Teleportation!”

He then cast the newly acquired Divine Skill of Teleportation, causing the falling Hundred Plays Steel Rod to smoothly hover half a meter above the ground.

“Divine Travel!”

At the whim of a thought, his divine sense took over; under the strong influence of Li Ping’an’s will, the steadily hovering Hundred Plays Steel Rod slowly began to fly around him, moving up and down.

The speed of its flight was initially very slow but gradually increased. It became so fast that it was like a dancing dragon playing with pearls—turning and flying lively as if alive. Eventually, the rod itself blurred, leaving only a rapidly flying net of cold brilliance woven from the Hundred Plays Steel Rod to envelop Li Ping’an completely.

“Is this the Art of Object Control? Zixia, Yan Chixia, Yiye Zhiqiu, I have finally mastered controlling rods, swords, and objects!”

Li Ping’an had previously envied Zixia, Yan Chixia, and Yiye Zhiqiu for their skills in Sword/Object Control, and now he could finally achieve the same.

He was incredibly exhilarated and felt an urge to shout aloud to vent his feelings.

Suddenly, driven by the desire to further his skills, Li Ping’an decided to attempt rod flying!

“Borrowing Wind!”

Li Ping’an once more employed the Divine Skill of Borrowing Wind. With the blessing of this skill, his body felt as light as a feather, easily lifting a meter, two meters high—had it not been for the ceiling, he perhaps could have ascended over twenty meters.

“Rod, come!”

With a mild shout from Li Ping’an, the Hundred Plays Steel Rod, now a flash of cold brilliance, perfectly paused just an inch below his feet, remaining stationary.

Whew!

Li Ping’an exhaled deeply. After stabilizing his mindset, he controlled his body to slowly descend, securely landing on the Hundred Plays Steel Rod.

The rod under his feet sturdily supported Li Ping’an’s feet, fitting as snugly as if it had grown there.

“Steady!”

Li Ping’an inhaled deeply once more, boldly walking back and forth a few times on the hovering Hundred Plays Steel Rod. Even though the rod was thinner than his foot, it provided him a fulcrum; at this moment, Li Ping’an felt as if he was walking on solid ground on the Hundred Plays Steel Rod.

“Go!”

Li Ping’an once again stood at the center of the Hundred Plays Steel Rod and controlled his body and the rod to hover forward— one meter, two meters, five meters… ten meters… twenty meters; by now, Li Ping’an had flown around the room in every direction.

The current room no longer satisfied Li Ping’an, who could master Object-Controlled Flying; his increasingly wild thoughts set on the sky outside. Only by freely and whimsically controlling objects between heaven and earth could he truly experience Object-Controlled Flying!

Controlling the Hundred Plays Steel Rod, Li Ping’an flew towards the window, excitedly opened it, and immediately a strong current of air rushed in through the window, blowing things inside chaotically. Fearful of heights, he poked his head out only to see that his position was at least fifty or sixty meters from the ground, which was quite terrifying.

However, none of this intimidated Li Ping’an; he only wanted to test his Divine Skills. If he could control objects to fly inside the house, then he could do the same outside!

Li Ping’an steadied his spirit, concentrated his energy, and once again maneuvered his body and the Hundred Plays Steel Rod out of the small window. Just as he was about to fly out of the forty-ninth floor of Dragon Capital Sky Tower and was ready to soar between heaven and earth, tragedy struck from joy.

A gust of fierce wind blew, directly knocking Li Ping’an off the Hundred Plays Steel Rod. Were it not for his Divine Skills giving him a premonition and his quick reaction, grabbing the rod with one hand and the window’s edge with the other, he would have fallen from a great height and died on the spot!

Immensely embarrassed, Li Ping’an hurriedly looked down to the ground, realizing that people who looked as small as ants hadn’t even looked up.

“Damn it, I just became an Earth Immortal and almost died from a fall; how unjust would that be!”

Frightened by the afterthought, Li Ping’an considered that if he had died here, outsiders wouldn’t even know how it happened; they would likely think he committed suicide.

An Earth Immortal dying mysteriously by suicide would be so embarrassing that even ghosts wouldn’t want to face it!

Gathering his strength, Li Ping’an honestly climbed back into the room and couldn’t help but be reflective standing by the window.

Just one Object-Controlled Flight required four Divine Skills: expel spirits, Borrowing Wind, Teleportation, and Divine Travel. Watching Zixia and Yan Chixia perform it seemed so easy, but when it came to his practice, it was much more difficult.

Fortunately, he had now mastered the method of Object-Controlled Flight. As long as his Cultivation continued to improve and he became proficient in its operation, he would someday also be able to roam between heaven and earth like Sword Immortals and Immortals, looking down upon the vault of the sky!

Although he almost died from the fall, Li Ping’an didn’t come out of it without benefits; the Attribute Template in his mind had quietly changed:

“A whimsical attempt actually led to improving my spells and even increased my Damage Bonus, how wonderful!”

As Li Ping’an was feeling elated, he heard someone knocking on his door.

“Who is it?”

“Immortal Li, it’s me, we should be going now!”

Only then did Li Ping’an glance at the time, realizing it was already the scheduled 7:50.

“Alright, just a moment!”

To avoid any accidents or ambushes, Li Ping’an immediately put on the Hundred Plays Wrist Guards, Hundred Plays Breastplate, Hundred Plays Iron Greaves, Hundred Plays Nuo Mask, and Hundred Plays Coin-Embedded Shirt.

He wanted to wear the Hundred Plays Nuo Mask and take the Hundred Plays Steel Rod, but he was about to meet with the President of the Bright Council of Yan Kingdom. If he showed up in that attire and armed, they would surely force him to take it off.
