There was a deep darkness drawn on the card, but in this darkness, there seemed to be something constantly moving. — — -Is this a type of Blade technique?
Liu Ping held the card, hesitated for only a split second before making his decision.
Perhaps the Lord of Nightmares is watching this place.
I need to agree to it first and get through this obstacle first.
As for how to learn this Blade technique in the future, I'll have to wait and see.
"How do I learn it? It's only a card — — I mean, how can a card be a Blade technique? "
Liu Ping said in a dazed tone. — — -as a Blade user who has never seen anything like Occultism before, this was probably his reaction.
The wooden female statue replied: "You only need to crush the card to sense the Occultism Blade technique contained within the card, it will always exist within your senses until you fully grasp it"
A card that can be used by crushing it is usually a one-time-use item.
That's very precious.
"That sounds a bit beyond my understanding."
Saying so, Liu Ping squeezed his hand and crushed the card.
The wooden statue silently watched this and spoke again "From now on, you can seclude yourself here to train your Blade technique, or you can go out and train your skills through battle."
"'Within the next 10 days, you won't have any missions."
"Please make haste."
As soon as she said that.
Zigzagging cracks appeared on the wooden statue.
The cracks slowly spread throughout the statue.
Clatter clatter — — -
The statue broke apart and turned into a pile of rotten wood shavings, no longer resembling its previous appearance.
Liu Ping was surprised.
"The consciousness within the statue has been exhausted" God replied.
"It seems like it has always existed for the sake of this moment. After everything is over, it will self-destruct," Mother Gaia also commented.
"Forget it."
Liu Ping sighed and sat down cross-legged on the spot.
"Do you really want to train that Blade technique?" Mother Gaia asked.
"Of course" Liu Ping closed his eyes, "In the main timeline, I've only just obtained the Clown Card, there's still some time before the Tide of Nightmares erupts, and since we're in a parallel world, I can use this chance to increase my strength."
"That's true — — I've already lost a lot of strength, I need to recuperate and gather my strength again." Mother Gaia replied.
Two emerald green gems peeled off from the crimson ring and gently landed on the dusty ground.
— — They were the eyeballs of Mother Earth.
"I'm going to the ground to rest for a while. Call me when you're leaving," Mother Earth said.
"Alright, go ahead," Liu Ping said.
The two gems slowly sank into the ground and disappeared.
Liu Ping thought about it and asked, "God, what about you?"
"To be frank, although I've retrieved the Divine Kingdom deck, the nightmare had still destroyed the entire world outside of the deck, and I've also been heavily wounded — — - then, I'll temporarily hibernate. You must awaken me at noon on the fifth day, that is a relatively important moment," God replied.
"Alright," Liu Ping said.
The voice of God was no longer heard.
Now, only Liu Ping was left.
He closed his eyes and entered a deep meditative state in this hidden camp.
Everything was silent.
The King Level Occult Saber Technique began to appear in Liu Ping's mind in bits and pieces, showing him some high-level occult mysteries of the past.
Time passed slowly.
One day.
Two days.
On the fifth day.
As if sensing something, Liu Ping abruptly opened his eyes and calculated the time.
"It's already noon … God, don't sleep anymore, wake up"
There was no response from the void of space.
However, Liu Ping felt as if there was something that was yawning and stretching.
"Hey, are you awake yet?" Liu Ping asked.
"I am, it's this time," God replied.
"Why is it this time?"
"Remember, you don't only have 'Deception' and 'Creation' on you right now, you also have the reward I gave you — — - 'Divine'"
"And then?" Liu Ping asked again.
"Use it." God replied.
At the very next moment.
Lines of burning text appeared in the void of space:
[Although this Sequence exists in a parallel world, it has left a series of spatial anchors in the main timeline, allowing it to sense everything that happens in the main timeline]
[Attention:]
[In the main timeline, a second partner who has accumulated enough Merit has appeared]
[He is seeking your help]
[This Sequence has completed the negotiation with him and has understood the effect of the skill that he desires.]
[Would you like to create a new ability for him?]
Liu Ping calmed down. — — -so that's what it was about!
He mused: "Sequence, this time, you're not only going to use my 'Creation', you're also going to add the power of 'Divine' into it and create a new ability for him."
In the void of space, burning text quickly appeared:
[This Sequence has used up all of his Merit and used your 'Creation' and 'Divine' to create a new ability for him]
[The description is as follows:]
[Name: Libertas.]
[Obtained a new ability: Preaching]
[This ability is derived from his original Mystic-type ability: Suggestion Card]
Liu Ping looked at the lines of notifications and couldn't help but nod.
That's right, Libertas has a unique Mystic-type ability: Suggestion Card.
In the previous battles, this ability played a huge role — — -
He must have relied on the hint of the 'suggestion card' to surpass Yana and Maria in one fell swoop and accumulate enough merit first.
And now, this Sequence has used my 'Creation' and 'Divine' to upgrade this ability, but I wonder what it will be like after the upgrade?
While thinking that, Liu Ping continued to look at the void of space.
[Current ability has been added to Ultimate Martial Scripture]
[You already know and can use this ability]
[Endless Occult Ability: Preaching]
[Can be activated once per day]
[Due to the combination of 'Omniscience and Omnipotence' and 'Creation', this ability has a complete guidance similar to a mission and will definitely lead you to a path where you are bound to gain]
[— — Will no longer be in the settings]
After all the words were displayed, they quickly disappeared and no longer appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes.
"The introduction is very vague … Why can't it be more detailed?" Liu Ping said.
"Try it and see," God said with interest.
That's true. After using it, I might be able to understand the essence of this ability.
Liu Ping's mind moved and instantly activated 'Preaching'.
Rays of gentle and holy light appeared around him, making him look like a saint.
He had an epiphany and slowly raised his hand and pulled gently in the void of space.
A letter with a white cover was pulled out.
"Previously it was a suggestion card, now it's a letter — — don't tell me it's just the same as before?" Liu Ping said.
"Be confident, this contains both your and my power," God said.
Liu Ping tore open the envelope and pulled out a piece of white paper.
Lines of small text were written on the paper:
|A grand festival is like a beautiful curtain, signifying the beginning of the world's dusk|
|After the stars have completely fallen|
|Gods walk among the ruins that you've seen, like stray dogs that have no one to rely on|
|The graveyards of mortals have instead become the final shelter|
|Rest in peace, all Divinities!|
|Under the shroud of death, only the last survivors silently wait|
Liu Ping quickly finished reading, went silent for a few moments, then looked at the line of text in the void of space:
[Due to the combination of 'Omniscience and Omnipotence' and 'Creation', this ability has a complete guidance similar to a mission and will definitely lead you to a path where you are bound to gain]
He stood up from the ground and muttered in a low voice:
"A path … where you are bound to gain …"
God's voice then came: "What, do you want to take a look?"
"Of course, we need to understand this ability — — - where's Mother Earth?" Liu Ping asked.
The ground shook a bit.
Two gems jumped out from the ground, flew up to Liu Ping's finger and embedded themselves into the crimson ring.
"Let's go," Mother Earth said.
Liu Ping walked in front of the rock wall and lightly pushed it.
The rock wall opened.
Heaven and earth became gloomy.
Within the chilling wind, there weren't any unnecessary movements.
— — -This place was very far from the battlefield, an extremely secluded place.
"Where are we going?" Mother Earth asked.
"To the ruins from before," Liu Ping replied.
He leapt up and flew into the sky, flashing a few times within the rushing wind to cover a distance of several thousand miles.
But with a flash of light, he returned to the ruins.
Liu Ping reappeared.
Once again, he stood in front of the broken and dusty wall.
The same line of text was written on the wall:
"During this grand festival, I want to spend it with you."
A grand festival — —
This matched the first line.
This line was actually a location marker, telling me that it was these ruins.
"The graveyard of mortals … I remember you saying that it should be in a square," Liu Ping said.
"Indeed, head down the path on the left, about 1,900 meters away, that place was originally a square, but I saw that it had been transformed into a graveyard," Mother Earth replied.
Liu Ping's figure shifted a bit, instantly went through the sky and landed on the square.
He looked around.
Only to see that this place was quite spacious, but there were only rotten coffins and bones everywhere, as if there was nothing else.
"I really can't imagine that there would be any survivors here."
Liu Ping said.
"Indeed, these people have already been dead for about 2000 years," Mother Earth agreed, "God, do you have any objections?"
"My power has already formed that letter, it has done a good job, I can't say anything else," God replied.
"What's the point of being so secretive every day?" Mother Earth angrily asked.
"It can't be helped, if the omnipotent and omniscient God wants to talk to living beings, he must pay attention to these techniques, otherwise, living beings won't be able to understand."
"You're thinking too much, why don't you just say it?" Mother Earth asked.
"Living beings can't even see through their own hearts, and don't even have the patience to experience the joys and sorrows of their own kind, how can they understand the will of God?" God replied.
Mother Earth went silent.
Liu Ping took the letter and read it again:
|The graveyard of mortals has instead become the final shelter|
|Rest in peace, all Divinities!|
|Under the shroud of death, only the last survivors silently wait|
— — -This was what the sermon said.
And the graveyard was indeed a place shrouded by death.
Wait a minute!
Perhaps the so-called shroud of death was referring to something else.
He thought for a bit, then muttered to himself: "Fortunately, I still have this ability — —"
As soon as he said that.
He reached out his hand and formed a hand seal.
Lines of burning text quickly appeared in the void of space:
[You've performed the Secret Technique: Sealed Corpse Yin]
[With the power of this Secret Technique, you can enter a state of death, no different from any other dead person in this world]
Liu Ping sat down in the middle of the skeletons on the ground, closed his eyes and formed a hand seal, seemingly without any signs of life.
He's dead.
Time slowly passed.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
As if there was light — —
A mass of dim light filled with an ancient presence silently appeared, circling around him and enveloping him.
The light flashed.
Liu Ping disappeared without a trace.
