Infinity, starting from eternity

Chapter 564 The Wise Saint King! A Future Being? The Power of the True Demonic Calamity!
"Mountains! Sea! Flowers!"

Inside the secret chamber, Li Ping'an was refining the True Demon's Indestructible Body and studying the fourth character.

This technique has undergone countless tribulations, becoming increasingly difficult with each subsequent step. Every additional word represents a transformation, resulting in a geometric increase in strength.

Although it is only a preliminary creation by Li Ping'an, its power is already showing its ferocity, and perhaps one day it will be able to rival the original.

"To condense a single character is essentially to choose a tribulation and use its power to temper oneself. The choice is very important because the difficulty of condensing a character varies depending on the type of tribulation."

Li Ping'an's use of the characters "mountain and sea" and "flower" reflects his past knowledge, his understanding of related cultivation techniques, and his access to relevant resources.

"For the next font, I might choose the combination of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning."

He had some thoughts in his mind. The power of a single character has its limits. For example, a single character for "fate" or "luck" can only be described as mediocre. But when combined into "destiny," it becomes completely different.

Li Ping'an wanted to control the power of wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning to facilitate his life-threatening cultivation. He attempted to seize life from the heavens nine times, causing friction between the vital energies and various strange phenomena to emerge. This was a kind of tribulation power.

Cultivating the True Demonic Body of Indestructibility means not fearing tribulations, but only worrying about not having enough tribulations. The stronger the tribulations, the stronger the indestructible body can be forged.

"The condensed characters correspond to the supernatural powers behind them."

When Li Ping'an studied cultivation methods, he did not forget about supernatural powers and techniques. The Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force was renowned, not only for its powerful cultivation method but also for its numerous heaven-defying supernatural powers.

The True Demon's Indestructible Body is similar, but its power of tribulation is even stronger. Countless tribulations evolve into countless supernatural powers, emanating vibrations from the most basic particles to destroy all things. It possesses the power to restrain the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force.

However, Li Ping'an's own True Demon Indestructible Body did not receive this treatment; he had to research it himself.

"This is also a good thing."

Li Ping'an remained calm and composed. These cultivation techniques were created by the Sovereign, the True Demon, and the Immortal Slayer King. If the cultivation techniques he created could reach the same level, his strength would not be much inferior to theirs.

The wind and rain raged, and thunder roared!
In just one night, Li Ping'an's strength improved again, soaring into the sky and taking a second life.

The Flower Saintess, Yang Susu, watched this scene quietly.

"Each time it takes a life, it becomes more difficult than the last. With each life-taking attempt, the cultivator's strength and lifespan will increase significantly, and it will also be accompanied by various tribulations of vital energy."

"After five or six fatal blows, true qi relics can be condensed in the body, a product similar to the demon core of the demon race. It is integrated into the flesh and blood, greatly increasing vitality. The ninth fatal blow is another hurdle. At that point, a single thought can seize the vital energy of thousands of miles around, and destroying a city with a single palm is nothing more than that."

The Hundred Flowers Saintess said, "I can't see through Li Ping'an's cultivation level or the techniques he practices. His strength changes every day. If this continues, it won't be long before he can take five or six lives."

"At this rate of growth, breaking through to the legendary level before the academy tournament will definitely not be a problem. I just don't know if the Crown Prince will give him enough time."

The Holy Maiden of a Hundred Flowers narrowed her eyes slightly. Given the Crown Prince's domineering personality, there was absolutely no way he would let these people go.

Knowing his strength was insufficient, Yang Qi constantly ventured out to seek opportunities and made a group of sworn brothers, such as the young master of the Spring and Autumn Sect, the son of the leader of the Fire God Sect, the core disciple of the Sea God Academy, Hua Fengfeng of the Sun and Moon Academy, the three Teng brothers, and the three Ji sisters.

These people were also invited by Yang Qi to join the Holy King Party.

The Holy King Party has gained some fame and is circulating in a small circle, but it is still far inferior to major parties such as the Prince Party, Gentleman Party, Supernatural Power Party, and Five Thunder Party. It can only be described as a small group.

Behind every major student political party stands a saint, a master of legendary status!
"Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, celestial phenomena, calamities of life, five fatalities!"

Above the sky, Li Ping'an roared and broke through one after another in an instant, reaching the fifth level of life-snatching. Each word was a life-snatching move, and when the four words were formed, he had completely mastered the fundamental changes of celestial phenomena.

His strength has undergone a dramatic change. If he previously possessed the power of a hundred elephants, now he has the power of ten thousand or even a hundred thousand elephants. He can kill a master who has been through nine lifetimes of death with a wave of his hand.

Even legends are not invincible.

"Jun Tianchou from the Sea God Academy has come to visit me, saying he has important news?"

As soon as Li Ping'an landed, he received a report from Yang Susu.

Li Ping'an holds a rather special position within the Holy King Party.

Because he was recommended by Yang Qi to be the leader of the student party, he was in charge of establishing the ideological program and uniting people's hearts.

The rapid growth of the Holy King Party's power, ruling over a hundred cities on the outskirts of the Holy Ancestor Dynasty and flourishing ever since, is inextricably linked to him.

Within the Holy King Party, he was known as the "Wisdom Holy King," meaning the source of wisdom within the party, who manipulated heavenly secrets and grasped everything; his insights earned him the respect of many.

As for how to handle political affairs, that's simple.

Although Li Ping'an mainly focused on cultivation and creating the True Demon Indestructible Body, he also had a True Qi Incarnation.

Even a master of the Qi Sect can differentiate into human-shaped true qi, so someone of his cultivation level is even more capable of doing so, and can understand and handle matters tens of thousands of miles away.

"Jun Tianchou is a sworn brother of Yang Qi from the Sea God Academy. He is an upright man with the demeanor of a gentleman. He can't speak without reason. It seems I have to go and meet him."

Upon receiving the news, Li Ping'an left the Heavenly Academy without hesitation.

Jun Tianchou arranged to meet him on a mountain thirty miles away from the academy. He sat in a pavilion, seemingly still inhaling smoke and practicing his martial arts.

Most of the qigong techniques possessed by the Sea God Academy are related to sea creatures and water systems, and Jun Tianchou is no exception.

Li Ping'an descended from the sky, "Jun Tianchou, what is the important matter you speak of?"

Jun Tianchou is one of Yang Qi's brothers and is considered a high-ranking member of the Holy King Party. Li Ping'an's attitude towards him is fairly good.

"Of course it's important!"

Jun Tianchou laughed loudly and launched a sudden attack. The wind and clouds changed, and a wild black dragon entered the sea, charging down at him, shouting, "It's a matter of life and death for you!"

"Oh, is it so?"

Li Ping'an replied nonchalantly, "I think it's more likely to cost you your life!"

Jun Tianchou's sudden attack seemed to be entirely within his expectations.

The ferocious black dragon was formed from Jun Tianchou's true energy, but its strength far exceeded his original level, reaching the legendary realm. Perhaps this person was not Jun Tianchou at all, but why would he impersonate him and attack Li Ping'an?

"The ocean is boundless! The calamities are over! Calm! Rest!"

In response, Li Ping'an simply extended one finger. To think that someone at the legendary realm could kill him was a gross underestimation of him.

Even if this person's cultivation of qigong seems extraordinary, even if it surpasses the heavenly level qigong.

Of course, it didn't reach the level of divine-level qigong, but rather it was a great immortal technique composed of multiple heavenly arts, basically the qigong practiced by immortals in the celestial realm.

There is no such thing as "Immortal-level Qigong" in the Qigong ranking system.

The ferocious black dragon began to shatter from its head, and then pointed a finger along its tail at Jun Tianchou's forehead.

The character "海" (sea) shone brightly, and this person's qigong was completely suppressed.

The person impersonating Jun Tianchou was sweating profusely.

"How is this possible? How could you have such strength? The Holy King Party has only been established for a short time. You couldn't possibly have this kind of strength at this point in time! Could it be that the textbook is lying to me!"

This man seemed incredulous. He revealed his true appearance, bearing a striking resemblance to Jun Tianchou, but with some Western features, including bluish eyes. "The Holy King Party? Timeline? Textbook?"

Li Ping'an let out a soft "hmm," his expression shifting slightly. "Interesting."

"Looks like you know quite a lot. Are you from the future? A time traveler?"

Almost instantly, Li Ping'an realized what was going on. He grabbed the man's head and began searching his soul.

"No, no, no! Release me, Your Majesty the Holy King! I am the future envoy of the Holy King Party, here to help you deal with the Crown Prince, unify the Bountiful Continent and the Western Continent, and fight against the future Hellish Calamity!"

The man begged for mercy repeatedly, speaking incoherently in his panic.

With a snap, Li Ping'an crushed his head, his expression slightly surprised. "Really from the future?"

This person's soul memories show that he is a descendant of Jun Tianchou, a member of the first generation of the Holy King Party's founding family, and a disciple of the Jun family.

However, in the future, the Bountiful Continent, the Western Continent, and countless surrounding planets, the Four Desolate Star Regions, and many more star regions and higher planes will all be ruled by the Holy King Party.

His identity is insignificant; he is a bastard born of a member of the Jun family and a man from the Western Continent, and is not recognized at all.

This person's standard of living was not high, and in the future he would only be an ordinary celestial being, unable to even achieve the most basic immortality. He was on the verge of the Holy King Party's rule, and gradually his mentality became distorted, until a ray of light brought him to the present-day Bountiful Continent.

He instantly became excited and wanted to join the Holy King Party.

However, he was not content with simply joining and wanted a higher position, so he came up with the idea of ​​impersonating Jun Tianchou to trick Li Ping'an, the future number two of the Holy King Party, into coming out as the Wise Holy King.

They wanted to kill him and take his place.

According to what he knew from the textbooks, before the martial arts tournament, Li Ping'an was far from ready.
The outcome was self-evident.

"It seems we've been used."

Li Ping'an concluded that it was too irrational, too foolish, and too coincidental; he was almost certain that there was someone plotting something behind it all.

Even the person's memories may not be true; he could easily fabricate such memories.

But Li Pingan couldn't figure out who was behind it all.

Could he be a futurist from that yellow-shirted, buzz-cut youth?

Li Ping'an thought of a pitiful guy without a name, who was just a black experimental subject from the future, and who had been sent there by countless people from the future.

That young man in yellow with a buzz cut was lucky; he was chosen by the Executioner King's token, which allowed him to live so freely and die so late.

"Future time and space is just a name; it possesses cutting-edge technological civilization, but it is not the real future."

"This guy seems a little different."

Li Ping'an felt that this relationship was less about the past and the future, and more about parallel universes.

The three parallel worlds eventually converge on the Ancient Road to the Divine Realm.

But the people he was encountering were quite different; it was as if they were a projection of the future, the outcome of the current situation.

Originally, the future wasn't supposed to be ruled by the Holy King Party, but by the Yang family. However, Yang Qi still couldn't escape that vicious cycle and established a family-run empire.

Even the Holy King Empire of the divine realm had no equal, so he and the shepherd were also given the surname Yang, which was equivalent to joining the royal family and becoming the Left and Right Protectors of the State.

However, Li Ping'an did not have such morbid ideas and did not intend to change his name. This would naturally weaken the Yang family's influence on the Holy King Party and transform the family's rule into a public good. This can also be said to be the point where Li Ping'an and Yang Qi's views differed.

However, Yang Qi disagreed and thought it was excellent, uttering a profound statement.

"Our Holy King Party aims to cultivate saintly virtues. A virtuous person governs the world by cultivating himself. We are not born saints; we make mistakes, we get angry, and we repent!"

"The world belongs to all, and wise men govern the world! That's excellent!"

Li Ping'an was very satisfied with Yang Qi now. The fact that he could say such things proved the purity of his youthful spirit, so how could he not be worthy of high regard?

"Whether it's true or not, this possibility of future evolution is quite good, and it's worth learning from to create a better future."

"The descendants of the Jun family have changed. Even if they are just marginal figures, their standard of living surpasses that of many people. They can cultivate great immortal techniques, yet they still harbor resentment. The first thing they did upon arriving in the past was to attack me and take my place. This situation and such people are not isolated cases among the major elder families of the Holy King Party in the future. We need to be vigilant."

"We must not allow the Holy King Party to decay from within!"

"If these future-oriented individuals continue to appear, constantly providing feedback on my changes and reminding me of them, that would be quite good."

Li Ping'an composed himself and soared into the sky.

He needed to check on Jun Tianchou's condition, lest he actually be harmed by the future traveler.

When he arrived at the Sea God Academy, it was already late, but he still managed to summon Jun Tianchou using the communication methods within the Holy King Party. Jun Tianchou was fine and had not encountered any attacks from future beings.

"Brother Ping An, you've come. What brings you here?" Jun Tianchou was somewhat surprised. In the past, he had only ever seen Li Ping An's true qi avatar. This was the first time he had seen his true form.

"It's alright. The Academy Martial Arts Tournament is approaching, a grand event for the entire Abundant Continent. The Crown Prince will definitely appear. Also, Yun Hailan is Yang Qi's mortal enemy. I hope you will continue to keep an eye on her activities and inform us of any developments."

Although Li Ping'an arrived suddenly, he casually recited a passage, though he already knew the meaning in his heart.

"It seems that the current four academies have enough deterrent power. The leaders of the four academies, as well as the emperor of the Holy Ancestor Dynasty, are all Great Saint experts. This future traveler's strength is not even Legendary. He only unleashes Legendary combat power by relying on immortal techniques and qigong. He doesn't dare to make a move in the academy."

After figuring it out, Li Ping'an smiled.

"I'll be in a lot of trouble with you from now on. Let me help you improve your strength."

After saying that, he struck Jun Tianchou with his palm, and instantly a boundless sea of ​​calamities rose up, with one calamity after another, and one calamity after another, endless and boundless, like the power of waves sweeping over Jun Tianchou.

"Such immense power! I've broken through!"

Jun Tianchou roared, feeling as if the very essence of his life was undergoing a transformation.

This is true. Li Ping'an used the power of the True Demon Tribulation to cleanse his body. The shockwaves expelled impurities from the particles that made up his body, increasing his genetic value.

Don't think that only the Devouring Starry Sky emphasizes gene multipliers. The Holy King Great World has them too. Many geniuses who have cultivated to the peak of the Heavenly Realm have gene multipliers of millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

One person is equivalent to the essence of a hundred million other life forms of the same level; how powerful that is!

Now, Li Ping'an is using even more outrageous methods, actually helping others increase their gene multipliers, which is simply unbelievable.

Jun Tianchou broke through to the ninth level of the Life-Seizing Realm in one breath, feeling incredulous and filled with awe for Li Ping'an, the wise and holy king.

After demonstrating his skills, Li Ping'an stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Alright, then I'll be leaving. Don't be afraid of the Crown Prince; the Holy King Party is the future of the Bountiful Continent."

"The Crown Prince? He's nothing but a clay chicken and a clay dog!"
