Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 739 - 738: Leaving Purple Cloud Mountain

"You’ve broken through to the Eleventh Rank, Fourth Layer Realm?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

"This is all thanks to your contribution, Master. If it weren’t for the Power of Dao Principles you gave me, I couldn’t have broken through so quickly," Yin Xue replied with a smile.

It was not long ago that Xu Ping’an had given her some Power of Dao Principles, which had helped her break through to the Eleventh Rank, Fourth Layer Realm.

Xu Ping’an smiled. The Power of Dao Principles he provided were extracted from Purple Cloud Mountain.

He could now completely extract the Power of Reincarnation from the Power of Dao Principles in Purple Cloud Mountain, creating pure Power of Dao Principles.

With this Power of Dao Principles, it greatly aided Yin Xue in breaking through to the Eleventh Rank, Fourth Layer.

Both the Savage Ape King and the Golden Edge Mantis had broken through to the Tenth Rank and succeeded in their ascension.

"Greetings, Master," a golden-robed, blond youth appeared before Xu Ping’an.

"Little Jin, you’ve transformed?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

"Yes, thanks to the cultivation you’ve given me, Master, I’ve been able to transform. With my talents, I could never have reached the Tenth Rank and transformed," the Golden Edge Mantis gratefully said.

"Very well, are you aware of the matter concerning your mother?" Xu Ping’an asked thoughtfully.

"I know, Master. I won’t blame you. My mother did not have sentient awareness then and pursued you. You had no choice but to defend yourself," the Golden Edge Mantis earnestly replied.

Xu Ping’an had already explained this to him, and he did not blame Xu Ping’an.

Just as Xu Ping’an said, at that time, he was merely acting in self-defense.

Moreover, his growth was entirely because of Xu Ping’an’s mercy in not pursuing a policy of complete extermination.

"It’s good you don’t blame me. What about the Savage Ape King?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Hmph, kid, do you still remember me?"

A muscular youth appeared before Xu Ping’an, towering and strong with hair that was red.

Although the Savage Ape King had transformed into a human form, his temper was as explosive as ever.

"How presumptuous." Yin Xue immediately scolded from the side.

Seeing Yin Xue, the Savage Ape King’s face stiffened, revealing a hint of fear.

"What did I say wrong? I am not his war pet," the Savage Ape King said reluctantly.

"Savage Ape King, I know you are proud, but as of now, you are no match for me. Also, having followed me for so long, you know many of my secrets. I’ll give you two choices: One is to submit to me, and the other is death," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

For him at this moment, killing the Savage Ape King was even simpler than killing an ant.

The Savage Ape King’s face showed reluctance, but he was clearly aware of Xu Ping’an’s strength.

Not even those in the Semi-Emperor Realm were a match for him; if he dared to refuse, he truly had only the path of death before him.

"Well, are you unwilling? You have only a trace of Divine Beast Bloodline, and you actually consider yourself a Divine Beast? Even I feel it’s my honor to submit to the Master, and you, a mere monkey, still aren’t convinced?" Yin Xue said with disdain.

"I am willing to submit, but you can’t just kill me off easily," the Savage Ape King stated.

"Rest assured, if you submit to me, I naturally will not kill you," Xu Ping’an responded.

"Then I am willing to submit, Master," the Savage Ape King said respectfully.

The next moment, he surrendered his Soul Mark.

Xu Ping’an accepted the Soul Mark of the Savage Ape King, instantly gaining control over the creature’s soul.

With this, the Savage Ape King had thoroughly become his war pet.

"It’s time to go out," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

It was time to leave Purple Cloud Mountain.

The next moment, Xu Ping’an appeared directly inside the Purple Cloud Hall.

Then he walked out of the great hall.

He looked towards the mountain summit. In the direction leading to the summit, there was a divine barrier blocking the way.

He had tried to reach the summit before, but the divine barrier was extremely powerful, and he could not even shake it in the slightest, so he had to give up.

"I wonder what secrets lie at the top of this mountain. It seems I can only try again next time," Xu Ping’an said with resignation shaking his head.

Immediately, he entered the purple mist.

The purple mist could no longer cause him any harm.

Xu Ping’an flew while absorbing the Power of Dao Principles.

His path of Dao Principles had now reached a distance of twenty meters, which was also the result of his month of swordsmanship training.

"Hum!"

Xu Ping’an used the Demon Elephant Tower to absorb a large amount of the Power of Dao Principles until the tower was full before leaving.

"Phew! Finally out, I’ve been inside for about a month now, right? I bet many people think I died," Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle.

If he did not have the Demon Elephant Tower, reaching even halfway up the mountain would have been impossible for him.

So, it was normal for others to think he was dead.

"Qin Yuan, Xing Feng, if I encounter you again, I will surely see you off to the afterlife," Xu Ping’an said coldly.

Qin Yuan must be killed, and so must Xing Feng.

"I’m not in a rush to return to the Immortal Hall right now. With five months left until the Reincarnation God Ruins open, it’s time to take a look at Jade Spirit Realm first. Besides, it’s also time for me to forge my own sword," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

The Thunder Devouring Sword was strong, but it could not be used lightly.

This sword was quite special; it could only serve as his ultimate trump card.

Apart from that, he only had some Superior Grade Immortal Swords left, but none of these swords could satisfy him any longer.

Thus, he wanted to refine a Divine Sword of his very own.

He already had the materials necessary for refining a Divine Artifact.

The Xuanwu had given him a tooth, which was an excellent material for refining a Divine Artifact.

The staff made of mountain and sea wood was also one.

As for his Artifact Refining skills, they were now good enough that he could refine a Semi-Divine Artifact Embryo.

"If all else fails, I will just refine a Semi-Divine Instrument Embryo first, and when my refining skills improve later, I’ll turn it into a Divine Artifact. For now, the most important thing is to enhance my Chaotic Flame. Only by enhancing the Chaotic Flame can I refine a Divine Artifact," Xu Ping’an thought to himself.

He needed to find a treasure that could enhance the Chaotic Flame.

"Let’s visit the nearby cities first," Xu Ping’an said.

Having said that, he flew towards the nearest city.
