In the Outerverse's Above the Heavens, one Progenitor after another walked out and headed towards the Neoverse. They wanted to watch Qing Ping break through the Progenitor Realm.
It was especially so for Lu Buzheng and the others. They all yearned to break through to the Ancestral Realm, but they did not have the confidence to do so. All they could do was watch one person after another succeed.
Beneath the Tribulation Origin Black Hole, Qing Ping's expression was calm. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, but his little junior brother's cultivation speed was too fast, so fast that he had no choice but to break through to the Ancestor Realm.
After all, he was the senior brother.
Before they died, they had the obligation to protect Little Junior Brother.
How could a Half Martial Ancestor be protected?
One figure after another appeared outside the range of the Origin Tribulation. They were the experts from the Above Heaven Sect.
As expected, a familiar scene appeared — Suppressing the Heavens.
Only the most extraordinary people among the Half Martial Ancestors would be able to create such a scene. They could use the absolute Stellar Source Vacuum to stop those who were going through their tribulations. Their appearance could suppress the sky, which represented the approval of the Stellar Source Universe. Qing Ping was the same as Leng Qing. He had the ability to make the Stellar Source Universe stop those who were going through their tribulations.
Leng Qing used her body as a blade to cut through the sky.
When Lu Yin had undergone his sixth Origin Tribulation, he had encountered the Sky Suppressor. He had used the starry sky in his heart to seal off the astral source's power and prevent the Sky Suppressor from absorbing it.
If he didn't have the ability to kill the heavens, how could he use his own strength as his ancestor?
Everyone was curious about what Qing Ping would do.
His weapon was the bell. Until now, he had been relying on the Stellar Source for his cultivation. He had no experience in creating his own power system.
How was he going to survive the Sky Suppression?
On the other side, Lu Yin had returned to the Zone of E with a complicated look in his eyes. His senior brother's tribulation had been decided by him, and Lu Yin had suggested multiple times that they head to the Fifth Mainland to capture Qing Ping. Because of this, his senior brother had to succeed.
Mister Mu's disciples were not simple, so he did not want to fail.
He walked towards his own pagoda. Now that the mission had failed, he had to give the Ancient Ancestor an explanation.
The Fifth Mainland's New Universe was isolated from the surroundings by the Sky Suppression Dome. Not even sound could be heard.
Qing Ping stood tall in the air. Even as he watched the Suppressing Heavens closing in on him, he didn't move at all.
Everyone looked on, as it was impossible for Qing Ping to fail. Even though he hadn't had much of a presence in recent years, that didn't mean that he was weak. He was Lu Yin's senior, someone who had been acknowledged by Lu Yin's sect.
They were just curious about how Qing Ping would survive.
Mu Xie came. Seeing Qing Ping being submerged, he was not worried at all: "Steady as a boulder."
"Steady as a rock?" Elder Zen was puzzled.
Mu Xie said, "Master has left comments for us disciples. His comment on Junior Brother Qing Ping is that he is as steady as a rock."
Elder Chan pondered.
The Sky Suppressing Dome was wreaking havoc in the void, but there was no movement inside. Everyone watching was nervous.
After a while, it was still the same.
Normally, either Lu Yin's isolated astral source would be absorbed, or Leng Qing's Sky Suppression would be broken apart. However, this scene was rare, as it usually only occurred when one's Sky Suppression was unable to withstand it.
But if Qing Ping couldn't hold on, it should have ended long ago. Why was it still like this?
It was just like how the waves could sweep across the land, but they were unable to drown the land.
"I see."
Big Sister appeared and looked ahead. "What a powerful ability to control Astral Sources. Suppressing the Heavens removes the Astral Sources from the body of the person undergoing the tribulation and then uses the Astral Sources to attack. The principle is very simple. If you want to attack the person undergoing the tribulation, you have to use the Astral Sources to touch the person undergoing the tribulation. But Qing Ping is able to use the Astral Sources for his own use at the instant Suppressing the Heavens attacks him. This is equivalent to snatching the Astral Sources from Suppressing the Heavens."
"Suppressing the Heavens won.
But now, it seems like he won. All the astral sources that hit him were converted into his own power. How ruthless. I've only heard of such a scene before. "
Mu Xie was surprised. "It has happened before?"
He originally thought that Qing Ping's method of crossing the Sky Suppressing the Heavens was unique. It seemed simple, snatching the Astral Sources, but the Astral Sources originally belonged to the Astral Source Universe. How could one snatch it?
The difficulty of this was something that even he couldn't do now. This was also the reason why his master said that Qing Ping was as steady as a rock.
In terms of Astral Sources control, Qing Ping was number one among the disciples. Even Lu Yin couldn't compare.
Qing Ping was too steady.
Big Sister rolled her eyes. "Why, do you think that only your sect can produce such a genius?"
"May I ask senior, who else have you heard of using this method to cross the Sky Suppressing the Heavens?" Mu Xie asked.
Big Sister rolled her eyes again. "Wu Tian."
The Sky Suppressing the Heavens was still wreaking havoc. But inside, Qing Ping was as steady as a rock. He just stood there, as though he could stand there forever.
Finally, the Sky Suppressing the Heavens disappeared. Qing Ping appeared in front of everyone. He was still calm. His expression didn't change. His aura didn't change. Even his clothes weren't wrinkled. The Sky Suppressing the Heavens was even weaker than the wind.
Everyone looked at him. He raised his head to look at the Tribulation Origin Black Hole. He didn't make a sound.
While waiting, Elder Chan was curious. "Your master's evaluation of Qing Ping is as steady as a rock. What is his evaluation of the Dao Master?"
Big Sister also looked at Mu Xie curiously.
Everyone who heard it was curious.
Mu Xie smiled and said, "Senior Brother Mu Feng, you don't hide your blade. I, remember it in one word: Junior Brother Mu Feng."
He paused. Everyone stared at him.
He clasped his hands behind his back. "I can't see through him."
Big Sister frowned. "You can't see through him?"
Mu Xie nodded. "Master can't see through Little Junior Brother. Even master can't predict his future."
Big Sister was very satisfied with this answer. The more you can't see through him, the more powerful he is. Little Seven is indeed the most powerful.
She had been stunned by Qing Ping just now. She had only heard of Wu Tian passing the Sky Suppressing the Heavens in her era. She hoped that Qing Ping would be powerful, but she didn't want anyone to surpass Little Seven. Little Seven was the most powerful.
Elder Chan and the others weren't surprised. No one could see through him. This was who he was.
"It's here," someone said.
Everyone looked at the Tribulation Origin Black Hole. A finger appeared in the black hole. It slowly descended and pointed at the void.
Ripples spread. Everyone was confused. They saw a chessboard appear in the void. Starlight sparkled like chess pieces. Qing Ping was standing on the board. This was a game of chess.
The finger moved and pointed at a corner of the chessboard. Qing Ping lifted his foot and moved in a certain direction. He was using himself as a chess piece to play against the owner of the finger.
No one could understand. The game was simple, but Qing Ping was a chess piece. He was fixed within the chessboard, but he could still break out of the chessboard.
Regardless, this game was seen by everyone.
The game became clearer and clearer. Many people had strange expressions because Qing Ping was about to win.
They had thought that the player was powerful, but they realized that the player, the owner of the finger, was very bad at chess. It was so bad that many people despised him. How dare he play chess with such a low level of skill?
"His style is so high. I thought he was some kind of chess expert to be able to make a move when Senior Qing Ping is facing the Progenitor Origin Tribulation. How can he be so bad?"
"Yeah, I can throw him off by ten blocks."
"I can throw him off by a hundred blocks."
"What?
What do you mean?
You beat me by ninety blocks? "
"Cough, cough. Don't misunderstand. It was just a slip of the tongue."
"But this guy's chess skills are really bad. It's about to end."
There was a clap, and the soft sound of a chess piece being placed could be heard. Qing Ping lifted his foot and moved to a certain position. He had won the game.
Everyone's eyes widened. This was the first time they had seen someone play chess during the Progenitor Origin Tribulation, and it was especially so bad.
Just when everyone thought that the game was over, the finger suddenly pointed at Qing Ping. Qing Ping's body unconsciously moved. Not only that, but the scattered dots on the chessboard also moved. A few moves returned to their original positions, and then … continued.
Everyone was stunned. What was the meaning of this?
Was he regretting his move?
The starry sky was silent. Regretting one's move was an especially shameless thing. However, at this moment, the person who had attracted the Progenitor Origin Tribulation was regretting his move in front of everyone.
Big Sister suddenly became furious. "It's Ce Wangtian, that shameless Ce Wangtian."
Everyone was shocked.
Mu Xie was shocked. "Ce Wangtian?"
Big Sister gritted her teeth. "That's him. His chess skills are so bad, but he likes to play chess. He regrets his move after losing. Other than him, no one else is so shameless."
"Ce Wangtian?
I remember now. I did hear that Ancestor Ce Wangtian's chess skills were bad, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. "
"He's too shameless. He actually regretted his move."
"He's not just shameless. Look, he's doing it again."
Under the black hole of the Progenitor Origin Tribulation, Qing Ping saw that he was about to win again. That finger regretted his move again. Qing Ping wanted to resist, but Ce Wangtian reversed space and pulled Qing Ping back a few steps. Everyone was speechless.
"Shameless, shameless."
"There's actually such a shameless person."
"Shameless."
…
In the crowd, Ce Lao Yan was speechless. He silently lowered his head. Ancestor, this is too embarrassing. Not only did he regret his move, he was even recognized. This is too embarrassing.
Ce Wangtian was scolded, and even the Ce Clan was scolded. In an instant, the Ce Clan was enraged.
Big Sister panted heavily as she stared at that finger. If it wasn't the Progenitor Origin Tribulation but an Enlightened Being, she would have definitely rushed up to break that finger. Shameless Ce Wangtian.
The Progenitor Origin Tribulation had never been so mischievous. That finger regretted his move again and again, refusing to admit defeat. But he lost every time. His chess skills were beyond imagination.
No one would have thought that an Ancestor Realm expert who could see through billions of stars with a single thought would be so bad at chess. Even if Ce Wangtian wasn't in the Ancestor Realm, a Half-Martial Ancestor wouldn't be so bad at chess.
Seeing that the finger regretted his move dozens of times, no one knew how many times it would continue.
Qing Ping made his move. Facing the reversal of space, he pointed out with his finger.
An obscure power flowed through time. Ce Wangtian reversed space. The battle between time and space distorted the void, tearing the chessboard apart.
Qing Ping was forcefully pulled back a few steps by the reversed space. But at the moment when Qing Ping was about to be pulled back, he found a certain point in time and negated it.
The chessboard shattered as it couldn't withstand the collision between time and space.
Qing Ping's body swayed. He won.
Ce Wangtian wasn't in the Ancestor Realm yet. He didn't have the Ce Secret Word. He relied on reversing space and reversing time. When the two collided, the chessboard was destroyed and the chess game disappeared.
This game wasn't a game of chess. It depended on whether or not one could break the chess game. It depended on whether or not one could escape from Ce Wangtian's reversal of space. If one couldn't escape, they would fail their tribulation.
