Chapter 117

The Mo family and Zhou family, sensing the vibrations from the sacred weapons, spat blood profusely, unable to believe it.

The onlookers were also stunned, unable to believe it.

Even a young emperor emperor could not leap across two major realms and resist a sacred weapon with bare hands.

This utterly shattered the timeless truth.

In the modern world, they would already be shouting, "Unscientific!"

"Who are you?!"

"I am Zhang Taixuan!"

Zhang Taixuan stood proudly, his hands never pausing; the Eight Phases World unfolded, enveloping heaven and earth, directly crushing the two sacred weapons within.

The Eight Phases World shrank, and the sacred weapons ultimately became ordinary objects, falling into his hands.

No matter how hard the Zhou and Mo families tried to summon them back, they could not recall the sacred weapons.

Seeing this, both sides' expressions changed drastically.

"Cease hostilities, shall we?" Zhang Taixuan asked.

The Zhou and Mo families exchanged glances, their faces twisted in bitter smiles.

Their own sacred weapons, upon which they relied, had been easily subdued—how could they dare oppose?

This man, who could effortlessly subdue both sides' battle, could just as easily annihilate both families.

Now that he was being so reasonable, for them to refuse would be to insult his goodwill.

The Mo family's elder ancestor said: "My Mo family agrees to cease hostilities."

The Zhou family's elder ancestor also said: "My Zhou family agrees to cease hostilities."

"Good." Zhang Taixuan nodded in satisfaction. "These two sacred weapons were originally my spoils of war. Now, you may exchange rare treasures to reclaim them—what do you say?"

"We agree."

Although the other party clearly had the air of seizing by force.

But this was a fantasy world—seizing by force was commonplace!

To recover their ancestral treasures, they would gladly agree a thousand times, ten thousand times over.

Otherwise, without ancestral treasures, no matter how much resource they had, they would merely be fat meat in others' mouths.

"I wait half a day. If you still wish to trade here after half a day, I hope you won't play tricks."

Zhang Taixuan casually tucked away the two sacred weapons; his voice faded, and he vanished without a trace—no one noticed how he left.

"We've lost both our lady and our soldiers," the Mo family's elder ancestor wept inwardly. "I wonder what kind of rare treasure it will take to reclaim the sacred weapons."

The Zhou family's elder ancestor growled: "It's your Mo family's greed that caused this! You wanted to swallow our families—otherwise, how could you have drawn such disaster?"

The Mo family's elder ancestor sneered: "Don't pretend you're any better. If your Zhou family hadn't secretly contacted the other two families, why would my Mo family have taken such a risk?"

"We were merely doing business."

"Heh. Do you think I believe that?"

Without further words, the Mo family's elder ancestor summoned a rainbow and sped toward the Mo family.

The Zhou family's elder ancestor also swept his sleeve, riding a rainbow away.

"Who is Zhang Taixuan?!"

"This man, at Immortal Stage Two, effortlessly subdued two sacred weapons. His physical strength must surpass even a young emperor of his realm. When did such a prodigy emerge in the heavens and earth?"

"Such a figure must surely be a holy sect's holy disciple—and likely not even from our Beidou Holy Sect."

"Indeed. Ordinary holy sects cannot cultivate such extraordinary talent."

"A young emperor has risen. Who would have thought that only five thousand years after the death of the Devouring Heaven Emperor, another heavenly prodigy would defy heaven and emerge?"

With the battle at Tongtian Market over, Zhang Taixuan's name spread rapidly.

In the livestream, everyone was stunned.

Ye Hei: "I thought the boss would use the Qiankun Cauldron to subdue his enemies, but he only used the Fanti Yin from the Great Sun Divine Fire Seal. Is this seal really that powerful?"

He himself cultivated the Great Sun Divine Fire Seal and was familiar with its six seals.

Now he realized his understanding of this seal was far too shallow.

Su Xiao: "Wow, here it is—bare-handed resistance against sacred weapons in a fantasy world!"

Su Xiao: "Zhang Taixuan, when will you perform bare-handed resistance against imperial weapons?"

Zhang Taixuan: "We'll talk about that later—this is too early to discuss."

Zhang Sanfeng: "The Dao Lord is truly extraordinary. With just one seal, he repelled such remarkable sacred weapons."

Xiong Ba: "I'm starting to regret it. Those six seals within the Great Sun Divine Fire Seal—I'm terribly envious."

Zhang Taixuan: "Actually, the divine abilities attached to each Wu Gong are no less impressive. You needn't envy other martial arts—master your own, and none will be weaker than another."

Kasumi Shion: "Watching this makes my blood boil—is this what fantasy world combat looks like? Compared to the male leads in light novels, it's far more majestic."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Indeed. Great minds think alike."

Xiao Wu: "Big Brother Taixuan is so amazing."

Amane Tenshi: "By the way, what kind of things will Big Brother Taixuan make them use to reclaim the sacred weapons?"

Ying Zheng: "You must squeeze them dry!"

Ye Hei: "I say, why not just sell the sacred weapons for points?"

Su Xiao: "That does make sense."

Zhang Taixuan: "【Speechless】I'm not short on points right now."

Zhang Taixuan: "Besides, if you sell sacred weapons into your world, would you dare buy and use them? You'd have to suppress the deity within while activating it—too exhausting."

Zhang Taixuan: "Moreover, you have no ability to suppress the deity within them, do you?"

Su Xiao: "I forgot—your weapons recognize their owners. Without the weapon's recognition, activating it is a nightmare."

Ye Hei: "Seems so. Thinking about it, it's better to exchange resources."

Ye Hei: "I wonder what kind of good things either family can offer?"

Chiharu Sena: "Can weapons recognize their wielders? How amazing."

Kasumi Akiho: "That's a trait of weapons from Lord Taixuan's world. Chiharu, if you have time, you should read the Dutch Trilogy posted by Miss Su—it'll help you understand."

Chiharu Sena: "Mm-hmm."

After chatting for a while, Zhang Taixuan ended the livestream.

After waiting half a day, he activated the Eight Phases Divine Art and returned to the site of the earlier battle.

Upon seeing Zhang Taixuan arrive, the ancestral elders of the Mo and Zhou families immediately sighed in relief.

With a Sacred Weapon, the Mo and Zhou families are great clans.

Without a Sacred Weapon, they're just ordinary families.

Otherwise, they might be bullied in ways no one can predict.

"What are you two families offering in exchange for the Sacred Weapon?"

The Mo family: "We of the Mo family are willing to offer one Dragon Blood Stone and two Odd Stones in exchange for the Sacred Weapon."

Dragon Blood Stone is said to form when rare metals absorb dragon blood—it's a material for forging Sacred Weapons.

Though the dragon blood may be unverified, the stone's quality is undeniably high.

Zhang Taixuan looked over and saw a crimson stone, the size of a human head, held in the Mo family's ancestral elder's hand.

He glanced at it, then turned his gaze to the two Odd Stones.

Odd Stones, of course, are used for gambling on raw stones.

Seeing these two Odd Stones, Zhang Taixuan felt that strange sensation arise again.

This feeling was stronger than last time, filling him with quiet delight.

Last time, the resonance came from the Sun True Scripture and the Sacred Spirit Stone Embryo.

This time, the feeling is even stronger—what could it be?

He turned to the Zhou family; their ancestral elder hurriedly produced the items and announced loudly.

"The Zhou family offers the first four scrolls of the Yin True Scripture, along with a piece of Five-Color Metal Essence, in exchange for the Sacred Weapon."

Five-Color Metal Essence is a material for forging Sacred Weapons.

Though this item is tempting, compared to the Yin True Scripture, it pales in value.

"The Yin True Scripture!"

"It's really the Yin True Scripture?"

"This is the ancestral scripture of humanity! I never expected it to be in the Zhou family's hands."

"Too bad it's only four scrolls—without the crucial Immortal Platform scroll, its value is greatly diminished."
