Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 462: The Obedient Pet

Xu Ping’an looked at the scenery of the outside world, speechless.

He had traveled eighteen thousand years into the past and had met two famous and incredible figures.

Yet he hadn’t heard anything and had been thoroughly fooled by both of them.

However, in the end, there was a significant gain—Wu Han had actually revealed the location of the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror fragment to him.

Additionally, he had shared another piece of information about the Temporal Dao Principles; Xu Ping’an needed to study the River of Time carefully.

That book was probably more profound than he had thought; he hadn’t grasped it at all.

Otherwise, Wu Han wouldn’t have reminded him to check out the River of Time.

"Li Xuanqing and Xue Hu haven’t come out yet; I wonder what they saw. But they probably weren’t played like me," Xu Ping’an mumbled to himself.

But he didn’t dwell on it any longer and took advantage of the moment while the other two hadn’t come out yet.

Xu Ping’an quickly flew to the plaza of the Holy Heavenly Sect and smashed the stone statue with a punch.

If he hadn’t been fooled, Xu Ping’an might have hesitated, but now he didn’t feel guilty at all.

As expected, when the statue shattered, Xu Ping’an saw a palm-sized metal fragment.

Xu Ping’an picked up the metal fragment, which was heavy in his hand, with a perfectly smooth mirrored surface on the front.

The back was covered with dense runes, extremely arcane.

"Is this a piece of the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror?" Xu Ping’an silently pondered.

As an Artifact Refiner, he could tell at a glance that the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror fragment was made of a material he had never seen, extremely hard, likely Divine Iron.

As for the abilities of the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror, Xu Ping’an wasn’t quite sure yet.

However, Xu Ping’an decided not to explore it now because it wasn’t the right time.

The time for the Holy Heavenly Sect’s event was nearing its end; it was time to leave.

"Buzz!"

Just then, Li Xuanqing and Xue Hu walked out from the Space-Time Gate.

Li Xuanqing’s aura had greatly increased; it wasn’t an increase in cultivation, but a breakthrough in his understanding of the heavens and the earth.

"Eh? Brother Li, have you stepped into the realm of the great tendencies of heaven and earth?" Xu Ping’an asked in surprise.

"Yes, I watched a battle between two strong figures within the Space-Time Gate and had an epiphany, which led to the breakthrough," Li Xuanqing nodded.

"You’re lucky to have a breakthrough in the great tendencies of heaven and earth. Although it’s still in its infancy, it will make your path much smoother in the future," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Li Xuanqing nodded.

"Fatso, what about you?" Xu Ping’an turned to look at Xue Hu.

The latter’s face was grave and silent, as if he was pondering something.

"Me? I didn’t see anything," Xue Hu said with a dejected face.

Xu Ping’an glanced at Xue Hu, knowing the latter didn’t want to speak, so he didn’t ask further.

However, judging by Xue Hu’s expression, whatever he had seen seemed to have puzzled him.

Li Xuanqing didn’t inquire further either, as his breakthrough in the great tendencies of heaven and earth was already quite an achievement.

"Brother Xu, and you?" Xue Hu suddenly asked with a smile.

"Me? I’ve obtained a Heaven-Penetrating Mirror fragment," Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.

Xue Hu was taken aback, then immediately asked with a grin, "Brother Xu, could I possibly…"

"No," Xu Ping’an cut him off decisively.

"Weren’t we in agreement? If Brother Xu gives me the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror fragment, I could offer something satisfactory in return," Xue Hu said with a smile.

"Then give me seventy-two Immortal Emperor Seals, and I’ll trade," Xu Ping’an stated.

"Brother Xu, you must be joking. Seventy-two Immortal Emperor Seals? Where would I find them?" Xue Hu said with a wry smile.

"Half would do too. If not, there’s no need to talk; that’s my bottom line," Xu Ping’an stated once more.

Upon hearing this, Xue Hu fell silent.

He knew the deal was off the table.

Leaving aside whether he had that many Immortal Emperor Seals, even if he did, he wouldn’t trade them.

After all, the value of thirty-six Immortal Emperor Seals far exceeded that of the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror fragment.

"We should leave now; this place is about to close," Gu Lingyan walked over and said.

Xu Ping’an nodded, then immediately led Gu Lingyan and the others out of the Holy Heavenly Sect’s domain.

No sooner had they left the domain of the Holy Heavenly Sect than Xu Ping’an’s expression changed.

The next moment, a huge figure appeared in front of Xu Ping’an.

"Savage Ape King?" Xu Ping’an’s expression changed in an instant.

Xue Hu’s face also underwent a dramatic change upon seeing the Savage Ape King.

"Pet human? Human fatty? You’re actually together, made me

This probably was the real reason why the Savage Ape King was looking for him, right?

The previous anger was probably just to scare him.

"Alright, I’ll accompany you," Xu Ping’an agreed.

The Savage Ape King nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

"Xu Ping’an, I’ll go with you," Gu Lingyan hurriedly communicated through a transmission.

"I’m fine, you don’t need to follow me. If you come with me, the Savage Ape King will be apprehensive, and I can handle it. Besides, I can use its strength to ascend to the Sixth Layer," Xu Ping’an said.

"Then be careful. Also, don’t linger in the Fifth Layer. I’ve heard there’s trouble, something ominous has appeared," Gu Lingyan communicated back.

"Something ominous?" Xu Ping’an looked puzzled.

"Yes, I can’t give the specifics, but it’s possibly related to the one connected with the divine punishment of heaven and earth. In any case, move swiftly through the Fifth Layer into the Sixth Layer, do not linger, and as for the Seventh Layer, don’t go there. Something’s happened at the Heavenly Star Palace, and the Seventh Layer is now inaccessible," Gu Lingyan said.

"Alright," Xu Ping’an nodded, his mind filled with curiosity.

Related to the one connected with the divine punishment of heaven and earth?

Isn’t that Tang Xinyue?

Tang Xinyue seemed to have been heading for the Seventh Layer, right?

Could it be because of something she did?
