Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 421: A Clear Conscience

Death enveloped him, and the world became endlessly dark.

Xu Ping’an felt a suffocating sensation, and his consciousness was rapidly slipping away.

Is this… this is the feeling… of death?

So tired!

So wanting to rest!

A consciousness emerged in Xu Ping’an’s mind.

He felt a giant hand dragging him, pulling him into the endless abyss.

He seemed to forget what he was supposed to do, as his awareness began to sink.

In the outside world, Tang Qingyu saw Xu Ping’an fall down lifelessly, and immediately her face turned pale with fright.

"Xu Ping’an, Xu Ping’an, wake up, please wake up," Tang Qingyu said in horror as she realized something was wrong and embraced Xu Ping’an.

However, Xu Ping’an’s gaze was dull, with no response at all.

And the life force surrounding his body was continuously extinguishing, like a candle flickering in the wind, about to topple over.

"No, you can’t die, Xu Ping’an, please wake up," Tang Qingyu shook Xu Ping’an frantically.

She knew that Xu Ping’an was now on the brink of death, and his soul could dissipate at any moment.

If the soul dissipated, Xu Ping’an would certainly die beyond doubt.

"What to do, what to do?" Tang Qingyu was truly panicked at this moment.

Holding Xu Ping’an’s body, she was shaking violently.

She only felt as if something extremely important to her was rapidly slipping away.

No, she didn’t want Xu Ping’an to die.

She didn’t want to.

"You can’t die, Xu Ping’an, come on and wake up, as long as you wake up, I’m willing to do anything," she said.

Tang Qingyu kept caressing Xu Ping’an’s cheek, her eyes brimming with tears.

She held Xu Ping’an tightly in her arms, trying to wake him up.

But Xu Ping’an still showed no signs of reaction.

At this moment, Tang Qingyu was truly anxious.

…

"Who is calling me?"

In the darkness that continually pulled him down, Xu Ping’an suddenly realized something, a question arising in his heart.

"No, who am I? Why am I here?"

Another question emerged in Xu Ping’an’s mind.

At this moment, endless confusion flooded Xu Ping’an’s eyes.

Suddenly, in the next moment, he seemed to remember everything, and a determination surged in his eyes once more.

"Yes, I must completely fuse the soul origin into the soul entity, I can’t die yet."

"I haven’t found my mother, I haven’t married my aunt, married Li Qingyi."

"I haven’t taken revenge on Ling Qingyao, haven’t slept with Tang Xinyue, slept with Tang Qingyu, how can I die?"

"Oh, forget sleeping with Tang Xinyue and Tang Qingyu, in short, I can’t die."

A strong determination emerged in Xu Ping’an’s eyes, and he began to combine his nearly dissipated soul origin with the faltering soul entity.

Soon, the soul origin began to merge with the entire Xu Family estate.

It fused into every corner of the Xu Family estate, into the miniature figure of his aunt and the reconstructed miniature figure of Xu Ping’an.

Destroy to rebuild!

At this moment, Xu Ping’an felt as though his soul had been reborn.

The entire soul entity was now his soul origin core.

The breath of Xu Ping’an’s soul became stronger again, extremely powerful.

It was a success!

Xu Ping’an felt the changes in his soul origin, and his heart was filled with wild joy.

He had actually succeeded.

From now on, he could continuously replenish his soul entity.

And as long as his entire soul entity wasn’t utterly shattered, down to the last piece, his soul would be indestructible.

As his soul entity grew larger in the future, it would become more difficult to annihilate his soul.

The only downside was that while others could damage the soul entity without ill effects, as long as the soul core wasn’t harmed, it could be reformed.

But if he was injured, it would be an injury to the soul core.

Of course, his soul core could also be reformed, but the pain he would have to endure would be countless times more than an ordinary person’s.

Xu Ping’an didn’t care about this bit of pain, having an infinitely powerful soul origin was what he truly desired.

The soul origin core had completely fused with the soul entity, and Xu Ping’an’s soul power had also reached a peak.

Now, Xu Ping’an’s soul power was comparable to that of an Eighth Rank Third Layer Realm cultivator.

That’s right, his soul power had decreased.

Because of the shattered soul core, a certain amount of loss had been sustained.

But Xu Ping’an didn’t care because he could now externalize his soul power.

Seventh Rank First Layer, comparable to Eighth Rank Third Layer soul power—if word of this got out, it would shock everyone.

"Buzz!"

Xu Ping’an opened his eyes to a blanket of whiteness.

"Huh? Where am I?" Xu Ping’an was startled, but the next moment he realized something, and his face turned embarrassed.

He couldn’t help thinking of the incomplete matters he had dwelled on during his descent, feeling all the more awkward.

Tang Qingyu was still crying, completely unaware that Xu Ping’an had been revived.

"Could you let go of me? It’s a bit stuffy!" Xu Ping’an spoke up.

Tang Qingyu was startled, and then her face flushed red with haste as she quickly let go of Xu Ping’an, excitedly saying, "You’re not dead?"

Xu Ping’an, looking at the still wet tear streaks on Tang Qingyu’s face, was somewhat surprised.

Does this girl really like me that much?

Sigh!

Am I to sleep or not to sleep?

No, how could I even think that?

Xu Ping’an quickly dismissed the strange thoughts from his mind.

"Yeah, I’m not dead. Fortunately, you woke me up in time. Otherwise, I would have truly died. I owe you my life," Xu Ping’an said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Tang Qingyu finally showed a smile, her surprise evident as she said, "You heard me calling you?"

"Yeah, I heard it. I think I heard you say that if I woke up, you’d be willing to do anything," Xu Ping’an nodded as he said.

"Ah!" Tang Qingyu was startled once again, as her face turned even redder.

"What do you want me to do?" Tang Qingyu asked in a voice quiet as a mosquito.

"Join the Eternal Palace," Xu Ping’an said with a serious face.

"That’s all you’re asking?" Tang Qingyu looked disappointed.

"What were you hoping I’d ask?" Xu Ping’an countered.

"No... nothing. I can’t agree to your request," Tang Qingyu replied hastily and in disarray.

"See, you can’t even agree to this request. How could you agree to others?" Xu Ping’an muttered, turning up his lips.

Tang Qingyu was at a loss for words, unsure how to retort.

Seeing her expression, Xu Ping’an couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

Tang Qingyu immediately glared at Xu Ping’an, stamping her foot in anger and saying, "Xu Ping’an, you bastard, you’re playing me."

Xu Ping’an, observing Tang Qingyu’s frustrated look, found it funny.

A fine girl indeed, with exceptional beauty.

He could take her in, but it wasn’t the time.

Xu Ping’an wasn’t one without desires, nor was he one to feign sainthood.

He simply followed his heart.

He liked both Li Qingyi and his little aunt, so he accepted them without reservation.

Tang Xinyue had been so physically close to him that he should have taken the opportunity, but he didn’t want to take advantage of her vulnerability.

If Tang Xinyue had undressed with the intention of sleeping with him, he wouldn’t have hesitated for a moment, and he would’ve even made sure she experienced utter bliss.

The sight of Tang Qingyu weeping for him had moved him.

And so in Xu Ping’an’s heart, Tang Qingyu had found a place.

But given the current situation, it was impossible to take her then and there, especially with the watchful Xuanqing Immortal Vine nearby.

"Forget it, let’s wait until we get out of the Heavenly Star Palace, it’s not the time to think about these things," Xu Ping’an said to himself.

Xu Ping’an collected his scattered thoughts, turning his attention to his Pill Sea.

At this moment, his Pill Sea had become immensely full, and his True Yuan immensely dense.

It had transformed from the previous True Yuan liquid into True Yuan liquid.

And now, Xu Ping’an’s True Elemental Power, in every single attribute, was comparable to ten million strands, equivalent to a regular Eighth Rank First Layer Realm Cultivator.

Add to that his Seven Transformations True Elemental, and in terms of True Yuan grade, he was comparable to an Eighth Rank Seventh Layer Realm cultivator.

That is to say, Xu Ping’an could now unleash combat power of the Eighth Rank Seventh Layer Realm with a single attribute.

If he combined multiple attributes or stacked various techniques, his strength would only become stronger.
