Chapter 1509: Lin Zu's Corpse (First update, requesting everything)
This is nothing but the Sun Moon Star Three Talents Forbidden Array; the Star Emperor's assessment forbidden array included this very array, though it was a weakened version.
At the same time, the Sun Moon Star Three Talents Forbidden Array is also one of the reference points for the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array.
Simply put, the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array is formed by blending together numerous star-type forbidden arrays.
The next moment, the River Chart and Luo Book shone brilliantly, transforming once again into a Bagua pattern and shooting out rays of light that filled the entire forbidden array, as if weaving a complex spider web.
Before the light vanished, relying on his understanding of the principles of this forbidden array and the auxiliary effects of the River Chart and Luo Book, Li Zhangsheng easily saw through the illusion and reality, quickly locking onto the direction where the array eye was located.
During this process, the forbidden array began its offensive; Sun Fire, Taiyin Fire, and Star Fire blended to form a purple pillar of fire, rushing rapidly toward Li Zhangsheng.
Li Zhangsheng flicked the Sun Moon Star Chart, instantly swallowing the purple fire pillar whole.
Against star-type attacks, the Sun Moon Star Chart can be said to achieve twice the result with half the effort, easily neutralizing them.
Relying on the Sun Moon Star Chart to neutralize the offensive, Li Zhangsheng followed his senses and, in the span of just two or three breaths, appeared at the location of the array eye.
Li Zhangsheng flicked the God-Slaying Spear, transforming it into dozens of cold glints that continuously stabbed at the array eye.
Pop~
The array eye shattered instantly, revealing a not-so-small gap.
Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, and the Universe Cauldron rushed directly into the array eye, covering the pair of Male and Female Twin Swords that were trying to escape.
Clang, clang, clang~
The sound of metal colliding rang out from within the Universe Cauldron, but the Universe Cauldron was extremely hard, not much inferior to the Heavenly Pillar, so the Male and Female Twin Swords could not damage it at all.
Soon, Li Zhangsheng subdued the Male and Female Twin Swords.
The Male and Female Twin Swords are one yin and one yang; individually, they are both Zifu Qizhen grade, and as a set, they are Low Grade Langhuan Supreme Treasure, not much different from the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords before they were upgraded.
Their characteristics are also very distinct; both were refined from Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of extreme yang and extreme yin. Li Zhangsheng observed them carefully and discovered that the refining technique was not very good, failing to fully unleash the potential of the materials.
According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, the person who refined this pair of Male and Female Twin Swords should only have been at the level of a senior Refining Master, not yet reaching the level of a Grandmaster.
If he were to re-refine them, Li Zhangsheng is confident he could raise the grade of this pair of Male and Female Twin Swords by one level, perhaps not much worse than the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords.
Perhaps he could also return them to their origin and re-refine the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords, though the effect would not be very great, and it would be difficult to make the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords reach the Jipin Langhuan Zhibao level.
Li Zhangsheng put away the Male and Female Twin Swords; with the array eye destroyed, the Sun Moon Star Three Talents Forbidden Array naturally vanished into thin air.
Looking at the many Green Lotus below, Li Zhangsheng did not grab them, but instead transformed into a streak of light and went straight into the lake.
The lake is not very deep, only about four or five meters.
In the center of the lake, there exists a small altar, upon which lies a gray Qilin with a broken leg, less than two meters tall, with many silver patterns stuck onto it.
That's right, this is Lin Zu.
Lin Zu's true form could naturally not be this small; the Qilin Clan clearly used the technique of "Mustard Seed Containing Mount Sumeru," and then utilized the power of the altar to maintain Lin Zu's corpse at such a small scale.
As for why it was placed in the Three Lights Divine Water Lake, it was likely to preserve the vitality of Lin Zu's physical body.
Ever since Lin Zu fell, among the three clans, only the Qilin Clan has no unique Demon Pet. Even though the Ancestral Phoenix forever suppresses the Undying Volcano and the Candle Dragon basically does not leave the Sea Eye, they are equivalent to a stabilizing force, and in terms of momentum, they are definitely stronger.
It must be said that although the Phoenix Clan forever suppresses the Undying Volcano, it does not mean she truly cannot come out; it is just that the price of coming out is too great. As such, the deterrent power of the Phoenix Clan is naturally above that of the Qilin Clan.
Li Zhangsheng remained on guard; after all, no one knows if the Qilin Clan did anything to Lin Zu's corpse. What if it moved like the Heavenly Emperor's remains, or suddenly self-destructed? In short, caution is never a mistake.
After a careful inspection, Li Zhangsheng confirmed there were no problems, and only then did he appear on the altar and touch Lin Zu's corpse with his hand.
Due to the effects of the Three Lights Divine Water, Lin Zu's corpse was preserved quite well, save for the missing leg, and that leg happened to be in Li Zhangsheng's hands.
Lin Zu had no fatal wounds; he acted entirely for the sake of his descendants, using himself to bear much Karma, and in order to make the Qilin Clan auspicious beasts, he suffered a backlash that led to his death, just like the Ancestral Dragon.
As for why the Ancestral Phoenix is still alive, it is mainly because she is of great use to this world; the Ancestral Phoenix must be used to suppress the Undying Volcano, making her slowly work to pay off her debts.
After confirming the state of Lin Zu's corpse, Li Zhangsheng did not take him away; he prepared to pack up the entire Three Lights Divine Water Lake and take it away—to be precise, to integrate it into his Secret Realm.
Li Zhangsheng rushed out of the water and began to set things up.
The small lake is not large, and with the help of his Demon Pets, the preparations for relocation were completed before long.
At the same time, a large pit appeared in the Secret Realm to accommodate the Three Lights Divine Water Lake.
Utilizing Heaven and Earth Great Power, the Three Lights Divine Water Lake fell into the Secret Realm, and the integration was completed quickly.
Li Zhangsheng re-arranged the Sun Moon Star Three Talents Forbidden Array to avoid causing the loss of Three Lights Divine Water as much as possible.
As for how so much Three Lights Divine Water was produced, Li Zhangsheng did not find the reason, but he could be certain that the Three Lights Divine Water Lake could not produce Three Lights Divine Water itself.
As such, it was either a natural creation of heaven and earth, or it possessed something like a Three Lights Divine Water bottle that could manufacture Three Lights Divine Water, and over time, it reached this scale.
After confirming there were no omissions, Li Zhangsheng began to check his harvest this time.
The Earth Book, Wanlin Tower, Male and Female Twin Swords, dozens of Qilin corpses, the Three Lights Divine Water Lake, hundreds of Green Lotus—these go without saying.
Besides these, there were also the Treasure items carried by the dozens of dead Qilins, their personal belongings, and the treasures in the internal spaces of a few that had not yet self-destructed.
There was no help for it; Li Zhangsheng and the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon did not have that much energy, so being able to preserve a few internal spaces was already quite good.
However, these were not the Datou; the Datou mainly lay in the future of those Qilin Clan members.
Most of these futures of the Qilin Clan chose to surrender; firstly, most were not very old, secondly, they had the verbal teachings of their surrendering elders, and thirdly, they had no other way to go, so they had to choose to surrender.
Li Zhangsheng took the best of them, and he could be said to have benefited greatly; the harvest was even more than when he swept through the East Sea Dragon Palace back then.
Immediately, Li Zhangsheng began to check the Treasure items, which included the Treasure items that exploded out after the dozens of Qilins fell.
There were only three Divine Artifacts in total, which is already quite a lot; after all, if one counts the Ink Qilin and the other two Elders who fell in the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum, it exceeds a handful.
These three were all conventional Divine Artifacts. Li Zhangsheng checked them once and only chose one; he prepared to give the other two to Ning Bizhen to improve her strength, because she would be setting off for the Underworld in a few days.
