Chapter 2051 - 2051: Wan Yan Second Master's Worries

Wanyan Second Master was deeply shocked after hearing Wanyan Hongsheng recount the battle at Mount Duwang. Although he did not witness it firsthand, nor experience the true power of Fu Qingping's move with Heavenly Punishment, the fact that Fu Qingping later killed eight peak masters with three swords was enough to make them recognize Fu Qingping's strength.This situation left Wanyan Second Master somewhat surprised. He knew Fu Qingping's strength was formidable but only slightly stronger than theirs. Who would have thought that Fu Qingping could surpass boundaries, challenging the much more powerful Immortal Lord? Moreover, the most crucial thing was that during that battle, Fu Qingping actually managed to tear the Immortal Lord's clothing!

Although it was only a piece of clothing, it was enough to be shocking. After all, the Immortal Lord is beyond peak mastery, and Fu Qingping is merely a peak master. Normally, the difference is as vast as heaven and earth; no matter how desperate Fu Qingping fought, it would be impossible to harm the Immortal Lord in the slightest. Yet, Fu Qingping's sword did tear a piece of the Immortal Lord's clothing, what does this signify? It shows that Fu Qingping's sword already had the power to break through boundaries!

What is the concept of breaking through boundaries? Speaking as an outstanding peak master, Wanyan Second Master is naturally fully aware of how difficult it is to break the limits of peak mastery. It's not just a simple increase in power. He had heard that transcending peak mastery is not just about an increase in power but represents a completely different concept. In ancient terms, transcending peak mastery can be considered a demigod. A lifespan of three hundred years is enough to be entirely different from ordinary humans. Therefore, breaking the shackles of peak mastery is extremely challenging.

Those who can break through the shackles of peak mastery are one in hundreds of millions. After all, out of the vast population of Huaxia, only a few people have managed to transcend peak mastery in all these years. If Fu Qingping can break through the boundaries of peak mastery, reaching a level beyond peak mastery, it would be earth-shattering news, driving countless people mad with excitement. After all, in the past two hundred years, no one has been able to break through the shackles of peak mastery, and people have given up hope of doing so. It is believed that unless one learns the authentic secret manuals of Buddhist and Taoist Magic, there is simply no way to break the shackles of peak mastery. This is why people so highly regard Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, as the profound secrets of the Taoist Sect are hidden within.

However, if at this moment Fu Qingping breaks through the shackles of peak mastery, wouldn't it give everyone new hope? Would the allure of Heaven Earth Man Three Gates for people remain the same?

Wanyan Second Master took a deep breath, looked at Wanyan Hongsheng, and said in a serious tone: "Impossible, Fu Qingping cannot break through the shackles of peak mastery. Even our big brother could not breach the shackles of peak mastery, let alone a single Fu Qingping!"

"Others might not think so," Wanyan Hongsheng sighed and said, "Many people already know Shijia allowed Fu Qingping to represent him in the battle against the Immortal Lord. You know Shijia's reputation, Second Brother. He's the foremost in the Buddhist Sect. He's erratic, but he possesses great wisdom. If Shijia allowed Fu Qingping to represent him, it illustrates he has confidence in Fu Qingping. In fact, everyone in the world is watching and waiting for Fu Qingping to give them a miracle!"

"Humph, a miracle?" Wanyan Second Master snorted coldly and said, "They want a miracle, and I will make them utterly hopeless. Once this matter is concluded, I will immediately return at any cost to restore the Immortal Lord's strength to its peak. No, I will use that thing to enhance his strength, giving him absolute and overwhelming power. When that happens, I will let the Immortal Lord kill Fu Qingping in the sight of everyone worldwide, shattering all hope. I want them to realize there's no way to breach the peak mastery's shackle or to extend lifespan unless it's through the Taoist Secret Technique within Heaven Earth Man Three Gates!"

Wanyan Hongsheng glanced at Wanyan Second Master, his reaction was as expected. The Wanyan Family not only wants to acquire Heaven Earth Man Three Gates but also wants to control the Taoist Secret Technique within it. Only by mastering the Taoist Secret Technique and the method to extend lifespan can they control all martial artists under heaven, because no one seeks anything other than prolonging their life. This way, they can leverage the martial artists to achieve anything they want.

If Fu Qingping breaks through the shackle of peak mastery and becomes a master beyond it, it's effectively announcing to the world that he doesn't need the Taoist Secret Technique within Heaven Earth Man Three Gates to achieve this. Thus, it will diminish people's reverence for Heaven Earth Man Three Gates. Consequently, it will negatively impact the Wanyan Family's plans. The reduced influence of Heaven Earth Man Three Gates means the Wanyan Family's control over the world diminishes, making it much harder to dominate all people.

Therefore, Wanyan Second Master is very agitated, willing to spare no expense in enhancing the Immortal Lord's strength, aiming to kill Fu Qingping.

Previously, Wanyan Second Master was somewhat apprehensive and reserved with the Immortal Lord. The Immortal Lord isn't under the Wanyan Family's control, and if his strength is fully restored, there's always the risk of him rebelling. Thus, while aiding the Immortal Lord, he contemplated sowing a Heart Demon within the Immortal Lord to exert control. However, faced with the pressure from Fu Qingping, Wanyan Second Master couldn't ponder it any further. He must first kill Fu Qingping to ensure the influence of Heaven Earth Man Three Gates is preserved. As for what happens next, although a fully restored Immortal Lord would pose challenges, as long as they have the Corpse Ghost Dragon under control, they can always suppress the Immortal Lord. This is their ultimate trump card.

Of course, ultimately, the greatest trump card is the Corpse Ghost Dragon, yet they dare not use it lightly. Without possession of the Buddha's Relic, they dare not use the Corpse Ghost Dragon arbitrarily. If the Corpse Ghost Dragon were ever slain, the Wanyan Family would irrevocably lose this trump and the chance to control the world. This is why the Wanyan Family is so determined to acquire the Buddha's Relic, to ensure the Corpse Ghost Dragon remains invincible under the heavens!

"Regardless, the priority is to obtain the Buddha's Relic," Wanyan Hongsheng said softly, "With the Buddha's Relic, we can truly utilize the Corpse Ghost Dragon, marking the true commencement of our plans. Among the world's master fighters, apart from Wu Tianchi who never concerns himself with worldly matters, and the Supreme Gu Mother in the Miaojiang Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Corpse Ghost Dragon is the absolute supreme. Wu Tianchi won't get involved in these affairs, and the Supreme Gu Mother rarely leaves Miao Borderlands, so these two aren't considerations. The only thing that threatens the Corpse Ghost Dragon is the Buddha's Relic. We can only actualize our grand ambitions by securing it!"

Wanyan Second Master slowly nodded; this struck a chord with him. After a brief silence, he suddenly looked up at Wanyan Hongsheng and said, "By the way, is that Gold Silk Armor still in Ye Qing's possession?"

"It should be in Ye Qing's possession, but he hasn't taken it out publicly. Nobody knows where he hides it," Wanyan Hongsheng paused and said, "Last time, he conjured so many fake Gold Silk Armors to deceive us. Wan Yan Zong actually fell for it, leading the whole world to believe the real Gold Silk Armor is with us. Those Wo Country's Ninjas are useless and unclear about specific situations, sending a group to watch us, trying to seize the Gold Silk Armor. Luckily, Lao Qi knew about it, and conveyed the situation to Japan; otherwise, those Wo Country's Ninjas might have set their sights on us sooner."

Wo Country's Ninja!" Wanyan Second Master furrowed his brows, his tone grave, "Their concealment skills are indeed impressive, they're ideal for gathering intelligence, with some skilled masters among them. Securing control over them would be optimal. However, their arrogance is excessive, tiny land yet they arrogantly aspire to dominate the entire world. It's no easy task to sway such conceited individuals under our command!"

Wanyan Hongsheng said, "After the previous South Ridge Sect event, all the famed instruments they collected in Huaxia were taken by Ye Qing. Coupled with Lao Qi's insinuations, the Gold Silk Armor is with Ye Qing, so now that batch of Wo Country's Ninjas have shifted their focus entirely to Ye Qing. I reckon quite a few ninjas are hidden in Shenchuan City. As soon as Ye Qing reveals the Gold Silk Armor, there's no need for us to act; those ninjas will leak the news first. Thus, we needn't worry about the Gold Silk Armor now, just wait for Lao Qi's updates!"

Wanyan Second Master nodded, his tone serious, "Before unveiling Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, we must first traverse the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master; it's an ancestral commandment. Thus, we absolutely cannot miss the Gold Silk Armor, no matter what must seize it from Ye Qing!"

Wanyan Hongsheng nodded, after a brief silence, he whispered, "But Second Brother, what if Ye Qing never reveals the Gold Silk Armor? Or waits until Heaven Earth Man Three Gates are opened to show it?"

"Rest assured, he will reveal the Gold Silk Armor." Wanyan Second Master said coldly, "Who can resist the allure of the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master? Besides, who was Ghost Valley Master? He left the Gold Silk Armor and rumors that before Heaven Earth Man Three Gates are unveiled, the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master will open, suggesting he arranged everything long ago. The Tomb of Ghost Valley Master will definitely open!"
