Chapter 431: Martial Arts of Manipulating Time
Huang Rong scoffed, "What are you thanking Li Ping for? For wiping out your Great Ming Sect?"
Shafang looked at the Ice Emperor and gritted her teeth, saying, "Thank you, Hero Li, for coming and capturing this demon..."
Su Ying scoffed, "Are you trying to say that you and him aren't on the same side? Is that how you try to distance yourself?"
When Su Ying rescued those girls, she discovered that the Ice Emperor had ruined the chastity of many girls and was capricious, killing quite a few girls. Apart from that, he was only involved in illegal proselytizing and building palaces, but he didn't commit any major evil deeds!
Li Ping looked into Sha Fang's eyes and felt that she wasn't lying.
The Great Ming Sect was not a reputable sect, and Sha Fang was definitely not a good person, but Li Ping knew she was not a coward.
In the original timeline, she fought against Shi Zhixuan and never yielded until her death.
So Li Ping couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened? Where is Xu Kaishan?"
"What exactly are you trying to achieve by doing all this nonsense?"
"Is he really out of his mind to rebel?"
Upon hearing Xu Kaishan's name, Sha Fang trembled involuntarily: "I never imagined that Master Li would also know the Venerable One..."
Xu Kaishan was the leader of the Great Ming Zun Sect, and his followers respectfully called him "Great Zun".
Li Ping nodded: "Last time during the battle for the Time Crystal Sand at Mount Lu, didn't he disguise himself as the leader of the Northern Horse Gang? Did he think he could fool anyone...? He's gone into hiding?"
"He's dead..." Shafang's eyes turned cold as she turned to look at the Ice Emperor, whose head was the only part of his body protruding from the ground. "He killed him."
"This guy, relying on his superior martial arts, killed the Great Venerable and forced my Great Ming Venerable Sect to serve him, to build palaces for him, and to collect beauties for him..."
Shafang was the Grand Consort of the Uyghurs and a devout follower of the Great Ming Dynasty's Zunjiao (a religious sect). She was not afraid of death and would gladly sacrifice herself for her faith. Originally, it would have been absolutely impossible for her to submit to the Ice Emperor so easily!
But she was not reconciled; she wanted to avenge the Great Venerable and pass on the true doctrines of the Great Ming Venerable Sect.
That's why he pretended to submit while secretly causing trouble, making a huge show of force to provoke those he couldn't afford to offend, all in an attempt to lure out a powerful expert and kill the Ice Emperor...
After Shafang recounted the events, everyone fell silent.
Li Ping looked at Zhui Ming, who couldn't help but take a sip of wine: "What she said... does have some credibility."
Li Ping looked at the Ice Emperor: "So you've done all this just for pleasure?"
The Ice Emperor scoffed, "With the world reduced to this wretched state, who knows how many days we have left to live?"
"I've practiced martial arts my whole life, and I know I don't have much time left. Can't I at least enjoy myself a little?"
He then looked at Shafang, gritting his teeth, and said, "You bitch, how dare you scheme against me? Just wait until I get out of here, you'll regret it..."
Li Ping couldn't help but scratch his chin.
This does indeed fit the Ice Emperor's character. The Ice Emperor is a disciple of Emperor Shitian, and he fell in love with a maid from the Heavenly Gate. Under the maid's instigation, he actually dared to challenge Emperor Shitian...
This guy was a brainless lecher to begin with, and there will definitely be more and more people like him in the future...
With natural disasters drawing ever closer, and the end times looming, more and more people will surely indulge their desires!
Therefore, we must strike hard!
Li Ping raised his hand, and in an instant, a chilling aura emanated from the air, and several icy claws appeared out of thin air!
The Ice Emperor was still cursing when he saw this scene, and his cursing stopped abruptly: "Snow Blood Claw? Who are you? Why do you know Snow Blood Claw? Are you Emperor Shitian?"
"Master, please don't kill me!"
"I'm very useful, I'm very useful..."
Then, the ice claws crushed his head!
"What kind of eyes do you have, mistaking me for Emperor Shitian!" Li Ping withdrew his hand and said to Zhui Ming, "These people are all handed over to your Command Division, but the Ice Emperor's martial arts are still too high for you. I killed him to avoid any accidents."
What else can Zhui Ming say?
Li Ping looked at Sha Fang: "I have something I want to ask you. Do you know Yan Wan?"
Shafang shook her head blankly: "I don't know her, I've never heard of this name before."
Li Ping was somewhat surprised: "That's strange. Her martial arts style looks very similar to your 'Mastering All Laws and Rooting Wisdom Sutra'..."
After saying that, Li Ping raised his hand and began to imitate Yan Wan's martial arts.

In an instant, falling leaves, swirling dust, birds flying in the sky, and the wind ruffling everyone's hair...
Everything froze, as if time had stopped.
Everyone was horrified!
What kind of martial art is this?
Is the martial arts of the Great Ming Sect really that powerful?
So their Grand Master could be killed by the Ice Emperor?
Afterwards, Li Ping concluded, "My simulation was about 70-80% similar; that's roughly the feeling."
Shafang's eyes widened in shock as she nodded and said, "Indeed, this does resemble the 'Mastery of All Laws and Roots Wisdom Sutra' that I taught."
"The 'Knowledge Sutra that Governs All Dharmas and Their Roots' comes from the 'Two Schools and Three Periods' theory of our own teachings. The two schools are light and darkness, and the three periods are the past, present, and future."
"The beginning is the past, the original state, before heaven and earth existed..."
"The middle ground is the present, heaven and earth flow freely, light and darkness clash..."
"The future lies ahead, light and darkness return to their proper places, returning to the origin..."
"Having mastered the technique, one can manipulate time..."
When Saffron talks about "manipulating time," she is of course referring to a metaphorical image!
Just like Shi Zhixuan's Undying Seal Technique, which is "not on this shore, not on the other shore, but only in the middle," it is just a martial arts concept.
Li Ping's eyes lit up.
Therefore, is the "Mastery of All Laws and Roots of Wisdom Sutra" a technique for "manipulating time"?
No wonder Xu Kaishan could freeze the heavens and earth with a single palm strike; this truly is the image of "time stopping." I had previously mistaken it for space freezing...
Isn't this technique naturally suited to me?
Li Ping said, "Since you don't know Yan Wan, where did she learn the 'Mastery of All Laws' Root Wisdom Scripture from? Is she your senior?"
Shafang shook her head: "I've never heard of this senior before."
Could it be a junior?
This is going to be difficult to investigate...
Li Ping asked, "Besides Xu Kaishan, who else can master the Wisdom Sutra, the Root of All Dharmas?"
Shafang said, "Besides the Great One, only Atom is qualified to cultivate, because Atom may be the next Great One!"
"Our previous generation of atomic energy was Wang Shichong, this generation is Duan Yucheng, and Yang Xuyan is also under consideration... but none of them know how to do it yet."
Li Ping couldn't help but rest his chin on his hand again...
Wang Shichong?
Did he also come into this world?
Do I still have to go find him?
Then Li Ping asked, "Do you have the 'Scripture of Wisdom that Controls All Dharmas' Roots'?"
Shafang was taken aback.
Li Ping said, "I am very interested in this technique."
"Look, among those from the Great Ming Venerable Sect who came to this world, it seems that only you and Xu Kaishan have found anyone else."
"You've committed a crime now; you'll be lucky to escape with your life!"
"If you all die, won't the martial arts technique be lost?"
"Give it to me, and I can help you pass it on."
Shafang was silent for a moment, then bit her lip: "I can give the manual to Master Li, but I have a request."
"explain."
"May my Great Ming Sect continue its lineage!"
Li Ping said calmly, "The Sun Moon Divine Sect is fine, and the Great Ming Venerable Sect is also acceptable, but they would have to change their names and abide by the relevant laws..."
Shafang was dumbfounded. What the hell was this about obeying relevant laws?
Which martial arts sect is in charge of this?
Taoist priests and monks from Shaolin and Wudang also kill people in the martial arts world...
But as long as it can be passed down!
Shafang breathed a sigh of relief and named a location...
After Xu Kaishan and Sha Fang arrived in this world, they felt deeply about the dangers of the world and were afraid that the martial arts teachings would be lost, so they specially made a copy and hid it away.
Li Ping left the rest to the General Affairs Department!
Just then, a commotion arose not far away, and Li Ping heard Huai Kong's excited voice: "Luo Xian, you...you are actually the Goddess Mother?"
Luo Xian?
Mother Goddess?
She knows the Sacred Heart Technique!
