Chapter 137: Li Ping and Huang Rong ascended to heaven, nine days later...
These past two days, Huang Rong hasn't seen Li Ping and Su Ying much; the two have been acting very mysteriously.
When she went to bed that night, she asked Su Ying, who said that it was a surprise for her and that it wouldn't be good to know beforehand!
surprise!?
Thinking back to when she wanted to find her father, Li Ping always tried to help her. When she wanted to learn Li Ping's knowledge, Li Ping shared it without reservation. This time, when she wanted to "fly," such an unreasonable idea, he was still doing his best to help her...
Huang Rong felt a warmth in her heart!
But hehe, I also have a surprise for him!
Li Ping now has many advanced techniques.
The Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, the martial arts of Peach Blossom Island, the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, the "Innate Skill" compiled by Huang Rong, Wei Yixiao's lightness skill secrets, the Frost Palm, the Profound Dark Palm, the Bright Jade Skill, the Shifting Flowers and Jade, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, the Sunflower Manual, the various unique skills of the Sun Moon Sect, and Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi Fist and Sword demonstration in front of the world.
The Dugu Nine Swords, more than thirty kinds of unique skills obtained from Yuan Suiyun, the Nine Yin Manual, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the unique skills of the Murong family, some unique skills from various schools collected by Li Qiushui, dozens of the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts, the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, the Lesser Formless Skill, the Lingbo Steps, the Sacred Flame Token martial arts, as well as the martial arts that Huang Rong comprehended from the Tai Xuan Scripture, and the lightness skill that has just been integrated with the lightness skill of the Xiaoyao Sect...
This last one still doesn't have a name!
If an ordinary person were to master even one or two of these extraordinary skills, they could roam freely in the martial arts world, let alone so many!
Even if Li Ping is exceptionally talented, he has only been practicing martial arts for a few months, so it is impossible for him to truly master it, let alone his mediocre talent.
Even if one cultivates the Yi Jin Duan Gu chapter of the Nine Yin Manual, it only improves aptitude, not comprehension.
Even though Li Ping's Qiankun Great Shift had reached an unprecedented seventh level, and he knew almost every technique of channeling energy in the world, he could learn any martial art very quickly!
However, it is still some distance from the decades of painstaking training that those peerless masters put into mastering a single martial art.
Many of these martial arts techniques are so advanced that they are beyond repair. Even after Huang Rong awakened her second "wisdom" and figured out most of the difficulties in martial arts, it would still be very difficult for her to refine and perfect them.
However, it is not a problem to select the most suitable techniques for Li Ping, adapt, modify, and integrate them to create several sets of techniques that are most suitable for Li Ping.
There's no need to use the technique of borrowing strength to fight back; his Tai Xu Transformation is exquisite and unparalleled, and he has already mastered it quite well, so there's no need to modify it.
His lightness skill is excellent; he's incredibly fast, and his Lingbo Weibu (a type of footwork) is top-tier. We can disregard that.
Internal strength, fist techniques, palm techniques, claw techniques, sword techniques—one set of each is enough. He can't learn too many, so he's not suited for a broad approach; he should specialize!
That way, he won't need to practice anything else. Otherwise, with so many things to practice, he wouldn't know what to practice all day!
It will be finished in a few more days. I really want to know what Li Ping's expression will be like then.
Wouldn't you be very happy!?
……
"Let's go, Rong'er."
Three days later, Li Ping and Su Ying led Huang Rong out of their house and into a wide open space where a crowd had already gathered.
In the middle of the crowd, there was a huge black cloth covering something.
Huang Rong asked with a grin, "What is this?"
Li Ping said mysteriously, "Didn't I say before that I would take you flying? This is the thing that can take you flying!"
Then Li Ping pulled back a black cloth, revealing a large basket with a stand on which was attached a clump of something unknown.
Huang Rong exclaimed in surprise, "What is this? Hmm... could this be a large Kongming lantern?"
"You want us to fly into the sky like this?"
Li Ping nodded: "Rong'er is so smart, that's exactly right."
Huang Rong was extremely surprised: "Is this using the principle of heating the air to reduce its density and create buoyancy? But what if the big cover on top leaks air? What if it catches fire?"
Li Ping waved to a pavilion, and Zhu Houzhao waved back.
He said, "I sought the emperor's help and obtained some fire-resistant cloth, some other materials, and the craftsmen he sent to assist me..."
"This is all thanks to Ying'er. Her understanding of the nature of all things is not only useful for elixirs, but also for discerning the nature of other things."
"And this fire, we tried other things before but they didn't work, the firepower was insufficient, so we finally chose high-pressure oil, and this oil control mechanism, she was the one who made it..."
"If it weren't for Ying'er, and if it weren't for the Emperor's help, I wouldn't have been able to get it done in a year or two if I had to do it myself."
Su Ying smiled and said, "I'm also quite skilled at using mechanisms and information, but I haven't used them in a long time, and I'm really itching to get my hands dirty this time..."
Then, Li Ping and Huang Rong went into the basket. Huang Rong looked at Su Ying and asked, "Sister Su, aren't you coming?"
Su Ying shook her head and said, "This time, I'll let the two of you go first. It would be too heavy if there were three of you."
Li Ping lit the fire, and the huge sac began to slowly swell before finally floating up.

The crowd gasped in surprise, but soldiers were already on standby to maintain order.
The crowd gasped in surprise, but soldiers were already on standby to maintain order.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned by what he saw: "The large Kongming lantern actually works?"
"In this way, I'm not at a loss at all!"
"This will be very useful when the Tatars are at war."
Isn't Li Ping just a rough and tumble江湖 (jianghu) man?
They actually have this kind of skill?!
Many martial arts practitioners had gathered in the capital beforehand, as the assassination attempt on the emperor was over and many were preparing to leave.
However, news arrived that a Tatar tribute mission wanted to challenge Li Ping, and these martial arts figures were reluctant to leave.
As a result, upon suddenly witnessing this outrageous scene, they all used their lightness skills to fly over here.
Yin Ji was stunned: "Isn't that Li Ping and Huang Rong? This is... this could be...?"
Qu Feiyan's mouth dropped open: "They really flew into the sky! Did they ascend to heaven?"
This is completely different from the path to ascension that Zhang Sanfeng spoke of, but whether it counts as ascension or not, Yin Ji didn't understand and could only shake her head.
Lu Xiaofeng was equally stunned: "This is a giant Kongming lantern!? Why didn't anyone think of doing this before?"
Hua Manlou said, "I can feel the excitement and agitation of the people around me, but this time, I can't see it with my own eyes, which I find so regrettable!"
"However, some people have tried. One of my older brothers tried to make a large Kongming lantern, but he failed. The air bladder would ignite, it would leak air, and the firepower wouldn't be enough..."
"But does this count as ascension as Master Zhang spoke of? If there are immortals, shouldn't they live in heaven?"
Even for Hua Manlou, the limit of his imagination of immortals was that they lived in the heavens.
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "This..."
I don't know!
A group of martial arts practitioners were dumbfounded; many genuinely believed that Li Ping and his companion had already ascended to immortality!
……
above the sky.
Huang Rong was overjoyed; she actually flew!
Huang Rong asked, "If we keep flying like this, will we reach the abode of the immortals?"
In Huang Rong's imagination, immortals should also live in the heavens!
Li Ping shook his head. He didn't know where the immortals lived, but he was sure it wasn't in the sky above.
Huang Rong asked in surprise, "Why?"
Li Ping then remembered that he hadn't told her about the atmosphere before, so he started telling her about it.
Huang Rong murmured, "The sky is empty except for clouds? The earth absorbs air to form the atmosphere?"
"I see?"
"I thought that if we flew into the sky, we could reach the abode of the immortals, escape the destruction of the world, and ascend to heaven..."
Li Ping was taken aback. So that's how it is. No wonder you've always wanted to fly!
Li Ping said, "I'm sorry..."
Huang Rong shook her head, then gently hugged Li Ping: "No need to apologize. I should thank you for doing so much for my willful idea."
"Besides, the feeling of flying is pretty good!"
Li Ping pinched her cheek: "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you want the stars in the sky someday, I'll find a way to get them for you..."
Not long after, the hot air balloon stopped rising because the ropes were taut, and the ropes connecting it to the ground were only a little over a hundred meters long.
Li Ping laughed and said, "Would you like to go even higher?"
Huang Rong nodded, then shook her head and said, "Never mind..."
Li Ping laughed and said, "Don't worry, there's absolutely no danger. I would never take you on a risk..."
Then he took out something that looked like a cape and gave it to Huang Rong to wear on her back!
Huang Rong asked in surprise, "Spreading out means wings? I understand now. This increases the drag as we fall, making us fall slower. Was this what you wanted to do when you said you'd take us off the cliff?"
Li Ping nodded and said, "That's right, with our lightness skills, there's absolutely no problem..."
Why is Li Ping so confident?
Because of "Nine Heavens Rainbow Robe"!
It was the same set of light-body skills that Huang Rong came up with and then combined with the light-body skills of the Xiaoyao Sect!
Previously, Li Ping wanted to name it "Hibiscus Nine Turns," which included Huang Rong's name and represented the characteristics of lightness skill, but Huang Rong thought it sounded too awful and changed it to "Nine Heavens Rainbow Skirt."
Tianshan Tonglao can change direction nine times in the air, Huang Rong can only change direction six times, and Li Ping can change direction eight times.
But Li Ping can go back in time.
He can return his body to its initial state and change direction again, five times in a row. His limit is 40 changes in the air. Being able to buffer 40 changes is almost the same as being able to fly...
As long as it doesn't fly too high, there won't be any problems!
Huh?
What happened?
