CHAPTER 502: CHAPTER 502: NOW IT’S STABLE

This is outrageous.

To think that I, a dignified Void Body, would be pinned down and beaten by a dog. Fuck! I can’t stand it.

Wen Qingshan gritted his teeth, his eyes darting around as he calculated how to kill this little black dog and escape from Chen Pingping’s grasp.

I must get far away from this guy. As long as I can return to the Star Sea Elders, I’ll be safe.

But then, turning around... Wen Qingshan was immediately dumbfounded.

Over twenty Elders were all here, trapped within an array.

He opened his eyes wide. "Great Elder, Elders, Stewards, what are you...?" He was flabbergasted.

Looking at Chen Pingping and that little black dog again, he seemed to understand something and suddenly inhaled sharply.

Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Great Elder is a formidable Eighth Heaven expert who wields a Quasi-Emperor Weapon. Once he unleashes his full power, even a Saint King could be shaken. How could he?

Wen Qingshan’s mind went blank, unable to accept the situation before him.

The group of Star Sea experts opened their mouths slightly, wanting to say something, but none dared to speak too much.

Chen Shixian blinked, holding back a smile, thinking as she glanced at Chen Pingping, This rotten kid, always tricking me. He’s clearly very powerful, yet he pretends to be clueless.

"Starting today, Wen Qingshan is a disciple of Wuji Sect," Chen Pingping said with a smile. "If anyone objects, feel free to come out and fight, but unless you can defeat Hei, consider this matter settled!"

"Why not defeat you?" someone complained discontentedly. "Are you perhaps scared?"

"Exactly! What kind of skill is it to let a dog fight? If you have any guts, step up yourself!"

"That’s right..." The Star Sea higher-ups seemed to have caught on to something.

That little black dog was very strange, with formidable strength and a terrifying Sword Dao. But Chen Pingping himself might be a different matter. Without reviving the Quasi-Emperor Weapon, he is nothing.

Yang Wuzong chuckled lightly. "Do you dare to make a move?"

Chen Pingping held his chin, pondered for a while, then said warily, "Senior, surely you’re not planning to bully the weak, are you?"

"Of course not..." Yang Wuzong laughed. "Our Star Sea is a superpower, after all. How could we possibly bully the weak, hmm?"

"Exactly, exactly..."

"You’re at the Lord realm, and Qingshan is too. If you can defeat Qingshan fair and square, from now on, he will be a disciple of your Wuji Sect. If not, this matter is ended!" Yang Wuzong said with a smug smile.

Wen Qingshan possessed a Void Body and is at the Sixth Heaven of the Lord realm. Once he erupts with power, combined with his many powerful trump cards, he wouldn’t fear even a Ninth Heaven Lord here. Between the two, Qingshan was sure to win. It was a sure thing, absolutely secure.

His sect mates cast admiring glances his way.

Even the Great Elder showed a smile, uttering two words, "Dare you?"

"???"

Wen Qingshan practically shattered. When he saw the Elders speaking up earlier, he’d thought he was saved and felt a secret thrill of excitement. He never expected Elder Yang to suddenly propose a fight between him and Chen Pingping. He was mentally collapsing.

He wasn’t quite sure about Chen Pingping’s cultivation realm, but he was crystal clear about Chen Pingping’s combat strength. This fellow could suppress him with a mere lift of his hand. His earlier claim, "It was a sneak attack," was merely an attempt to save face.

Fighting Chen Pingping? What’s the difference between that and serving myself up on a platter?

At this thought, Wen Qingshan felt like crying.

"Qingshan, no need to be so moved. We won’t give up on you, rest assured," Yang Wuzong said, seeing him looking like he was about to cry, mistaking it for tears of gratitude, which only strengthened his resolve. He wouldn’t abandon Qingshan. The entire Star Sea wouldn’t abandon him. Even if they were at a disadvantage, so what?

Wen Qingshan: "..."

Chen Shixian, on the side, almost burst into laughter.

Chen Pingping spoke seriously, "It seems I must take this fight seriously." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at Wen Qingshan. "Let’s go!"

"Go, take him down, Qingshan!"

"Qingshan, you can do it!"

"Don’t hesitate, use your Divine Body and unleash your full power!" they all shouted, their expressions suddenly lit up with excitement.

But no one knew that in Wen Qingshan’s heart, a million "motherfuckers" were galloping past...

Screw it!

Wen Qingshan took a deep breath and began to calm down.

He was a Divine Body, after all; how could he completely give up because of one mistake? He had to defeat Chen Pingping to earn his freedom.

With this thought, his determination grew stronger. When he looked at Chen Pingping again, his eyes were filled with the intent to battle.

Chen Pingping secretly approved. Not bad, a Divine Body is indeed a Divine Body. Despite suffering one setback, his fighting spirit remained undiminished. He’s a good seed. This further solidified Chen Pingping’s resolve: he had to take Wen Qingshan with him.

BOOM!

At that moment, the sky above the Secret Realm suddenly darkened. Ominous clouds gathered, and thick bolts of lightning churned within them. Violent power fluctuations and a rampant Power of Destruction spread downwards.

Everyone lifted their heads.

Immediately after, another thunderous boom erupted, and a bolt of lightning struck down. Its target was Chen Pingping.

Wen Qingshan was stunned.

Chen Shixian was taken aback.

One of the Elders suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "The Void Body can actually control lightning and summon a tribulation! Truly remarkable!"

"This time, victory is assured!"

Seeing the tribulation appear and hearing this Elder’s words, all the Star Sea higher-ups beamed with brilliant smiles. Manipulating lightning wasn’t something an ordinary cultivator could achieve!

BOOM!

A second, third, then a fourth bolt... Each was stronger than the last, striking Chen Pingping until he coughed up blood.

Ni’er!

he gritted his teeth. This was no time for heavenly divination...

Fortunately, Jiang Ni’er knew her limits; after a minute or two of divination, she stopped.

The tribulation dissipated.

But Chen Pingping had smoke rising from all seven orifices, resembling a piece of charcoal.

Chen Shixian shouted, "Are you okay?"

BANG!

Suddenly, Chen Pingping made a move, stretching out his five fingers, like the Heavenly Hand pressing down.

"He has made a move."

"Hehe... after all, he’s just a young man. After being struck by Qingshan’s tribulation a few times, his most urgent task should have been to stabilize his internal injuries, not to attack rashly."

"Indeed!"

"Being too hasty will only backfire," they commented with relish.

It was only when Chen Pingping’s five fingers erupted with Sword Dao that the smiles on the faces of the Star Sea higher-ups abruptly froze.

The power of the Five Elements, the Five Elements Swordsmanship.

This kind of Sword Dao was very common in the cultivation world. But Chen Pingping unleashed Five Elements Swordsmanship simultaneously, his five fingers pressing down like swords. The Power Path and Tao they contained were immensely powerful and terrifying, seeming to roil the entire world.

With a loud bang, the Five Elements Swordsmanship slashed down in unison, locking down the space in all ten directions and cutting into Wen Qingshan’s body with devastating force.

His pupils suddenly constricted, his breathing became rapid.

So strong. No chance to resist. Damn it! Why is every one of his attacks different?

Wen Qingshan was suffocating, staring hard at Chen Pingping, unable to comprehend what kind of cultivation method he practiced.

"You lost. From today on, you are a disciple of the Wuji Sect." Chen Pingping grinned. "Welcome to the Wuji Sect."

Fuck! Wen Qingshan felt extremely aggrieved. He hadn’t even made a proper move yet—truly, he hadn’t even activated his cultivation realm! He still had his powerful Void Skill...

But facing Chen Pingping’s gaze, he kept his mouth shut and dared not speak. He had a feeling that he couldn’t win no matter what. Not only that, he couldn’t even beat that little black dog.

Chen Pingping spoke again, "Get up, follow me. Everything here is over; we now have to deal with another matter."

"???"

Wen Qingshan felt indignant, thinking, Did I even agree to this?
