Chapter 846: The Four-Spirit Blade that Brushes Away the Filth of the Azure Heaven

~12 min read 2,218 words

"This is a secret treasure left behind by a kingdom in the Kunlun Continent, on the outskirts of the Western Wang Mu's Kingdom!"

Qian Chen said eerily.

"They were descendants of Heavenly Humans, the Kingdom of Feathered Humans. Because of the Immortal Qin invasion, the Universal Star Ships and the Terracotta Army destroyed many ancient kingdoms in the Kunlun Continent, so they sealed their capital in a solidified space-time."

"Turning it into space-time amber to avoid the calamity, this bronze door is the secret treasure to open the space-time amber!"

"The Xiliang Kingdom was established after obtaining a portion of their legacy. Hmm! That ancestor of yours, Gao, is still alive, but his attainment of the Primordial Spirit relied on the true soul of an ancient Heavenly Human. Now, his Primordial Spirit has also been fused with the true soul of an ancient Feathered Heavenly Human, reincarnating as a Heavenly Human!"

Qian Chen pointed into the reflection of the spiritual light, where a young woman wearing a crown stood in the royal palace, surrounded by dozens of Heavenly Humans.

She had wings on her back and, amidst the many Primordial Spirits, appeared like royalty.

Li Zhong's mind went numb!

He opened his mouth in shock, "Why would it be a woman?"

"The Western Wang Mu's Kingdom honors women. Reincarnating its royal bloodline naturally results in a female form." Qian Chen sighed, "What a sinister trap!"

"If you were to explore that secret treasure and open the bronze door, then what would be restored would not be the Xiliang Kingdom, but the Xiliang Kingdom of Women!"

Qian Chen looked at Li Zhong's trembling pupils and asked with interest, "Could it be that you also want to discard that thing and become a King of the Kingdom of Women?"

Li Zhong shook his head desperately.

Qian Chen waved his sleeve, breaking the spiritual light of these various illusions, and casually took a bronze wine vessel from the void and stuffed it into Li Zhong's hand.

The heavy bronze feel reminded Li Zhong of just how real the bronze vessel in his hand was, and the archaic seal had a full twelve layers. As for things on his body that could surpass this, if not non-existent, they were merely that broken blade suspected to be the shattered weapon of an ancient mighty figure.

The ritual wine in the vessel was an object for sacrifice. The liquid inside was like amber flowing light, the fragrance pungent, carrying the free and unrestrained natural nature of ancient gods.

Li Zhong drank it all in one gulp. The wine's energy surged with divine power, and every cell in his body was like earth that had been parched for countless years, thirstily absorbing nutrients. In just an instant, his body was rejuvenated, and his scar-covered skin radiated a faint, shimmering divine brilliance.

"It can actually be this real!"

Li Zhong followed closely behind Qian Chen.

"A mere capital of the ancient Western Wang Mu's Kingdom is... is the secret of the life experience behind Li Er? That's too cheap!"

Qian Chen's Dao Dust Pearl once again reflected a majestic and magnificent divine city, far grander than the previous ancient Feathered Human city. It was the city where the Western Wang Mu had truly resided, her Daoist field, and the Kunlun Ruins, known as the Capital Beneath the Emperor.

Qian Chen's hand swept through a nine-colored ancient tree that was half-withered and half-flourishing, towering into the sky.

He plucked nine leaves.

When he withdrew his hand, the nine immortal leaves in his palm supported an ancient medicine surrounded by immortal light.

"Since it is a secret treasure of the Western Wang Mu's Kingdom, how can there be no Immortality Medicine?"

"Immortality Medicine!" Li Zhong's eyes were about to pop out!

There were definitely cultivators in this world who did not know about the Supreme Dao Dust Pearl, but there were truly no cultivators who did not know about the Immortality Medicine. This object had caused the Qin Qin Shi Huang of Qin and Emperor Wu of Han to search for it several times, and it had haunted the dreams of countless Heavenly Emperors and Supremes, to the point that it had now become a complete legend.

It was a supreme treasure that even the Immortal Qin of the past had failed to obtain.

"Isn't the Immortality Medicine a bit too flashy? No one will believe it if we say it!" Li Zhong cried out loudly.

Qian Chen didn't care, "It's fine, didn't the Tushita Palace bring one out from the Return to Ruins? It was... oh, no! It was refined by Li Er's senior brother."

"No one will believe that either!" Li Zhong said anxiously, "Everyone says that what the Tushita Palace brought out was a rare great medicine for longevity; it is absolutely impossible for it to be Immortality Medicine. After all, it is something that even the Qin Qin Shi Huang didn't obtain. Even if it were the Tushita Palace, no one would believe they could obtain such a legendary object!"

"They've already fought the Blood Sea Path to that extent, and they still don't believe it?" Qian Chen asked in surprise.

"Then we can only wait for the Qin Qin Shi Huang to resurrect!"

Li Zhong was slightly stunned, thinking Qian Chen was just making an analogy, never imagining what he was actually saying. This news, which would surely shake the countless realms of the cosmos, flowed through his mind silently, without bringing a ripple.

Qian Chen's fingers danced within the Kunlun Ruins. He opened a jade tower in Heavenly Fortress City and pulled out dozens of immortal records in tadpole heavenly script, dragon-chapter phoenix-seals, and cloud-seal scripts.

With a casual pull, these dozens of heavenly books, flowing with various scripts and radiating an endless mysterious aura and profoundness, were pulled out from the illusion and landed by his side.

"Hmm! These heavenly books all have copies in the Langhuan Pavilion, so they shouldn't be too eye-catching."

Li Zhong just wanted to kneel to him. If they were stored in the Heavenly Emperor's Langhuan Pavilion, they were authentic heavenly book immortal records. Any one of them falling into the Li family would attract a hundred times more people coveting them than the ethereal Xiliang secret treasure!

Between the foundation of a mere small Xiliang kingdom and the Langhuan collection of the Heavenly Emperor Jade Emperor, which is heavier and which is lighter?

Anyone can tell!

Before he could stop him, Qian Chen opened a purple-jade pill room on Mount Chengyuan, and dozens of pills flowing with immortal light were casually taken out by him. One by one, the pills, which were as lively as living creatures, rushed out of the illusion reflected by the Dao Dust Pearl and headed toward the outside of the nine-story pagoda.

They wanted to break through the blockade and transform into living creatures!

"The method of refining medicine in Western Kunlun is okay, but it is too close to the creation of living creatures. When you swallow them, you will hear the pill spirits begging for mercy, which puts a burden on people's hearts. Moreover, the pills are sentient; eating them will surely carry karmic burdens. In this regard, it is far inferior to my Supreme Dao Pill Path."

"I've never heard of a Nine-Turn Golden Pill becoming a spirit... Oh! Except for that monkey; that was absolutely intentional by the Supreme!"

Qian Chen casually sealed these spirit pills into the five-colored jade essence picked from the stream at the foot of the Immortality Tree and threw them to Li Zhong, saying, "These are roughly equivalent to the Six-Turn Spirit Pills of my Supreme Dao. Using them to fill the scene won't be a lie!"

Li Zhong was already unable to speak.

He saw Qian Chen once again summon the Scenery Cloud Candle Sun and the Nine Lights of Vermilion Haze, condensing them into immortal palaces, all transformed from the purest immortal energy. The various furnishings inside were also treasures of the Heavenly Mansion.

He casually opened the Xuanpu Hall, and countless spirit herbs and immortal grasses inside almost transformed into living forms. Qian Chen pointed, and tens of thousands of various spirit herbs landed in the immortal palace.

Finally, he opened an armory in Heavenly Fortress City in the Kunlun Ruins, and the tyrannical auras of dozens of magic treasures flowed out. Those bronze weapons were at the worst equivalent to magic artifacts with complete seals. It seemed that in the eyes of the Western Wang Mu, magic artifacts whose seals could not be completed were all defective products.

Li Zhong just treated these things like hot potatoes and stuffed them back to Qian Chen.

He said solemnly, "Senior, this Xiliang secret treasure of yours is too heavy. Our small Li family cannot bear it. Brother Bao has not easily cultivated the Yang Spirit; don't bring the enemies of the whole world upon us before he reaches the Primordial Spirit."

Qian Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "These things are for you to send out as the Xiliang secret treasure. As long as you get the real treasures out, won't you clear your suspicions?"

"You can also keep a portion to cultivate confidants."

"Your brother Li Er has become a monk and cultivates the Dao. These worldly ties must fall upon you. I promised him that I would grant this bloodline a lifetime of Heavenly Mandate. These are just fur; what is there to be unable to bear?"

Li Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Is a Heavenly Mandate given by others still a Heavenly Mandate?"

"If the descendants are promising, the so-called rotation of Heavenly Mandate is to shoulder the burden of the world and the Central Lands. Those who are capable will do it themselves..."

"If the Heavenly Mandate is lightly granted and falls upon unworthy descendants, creating countless sins, it will instead bring disaster to the ancestors. Just like that Sima clan." Li Zhong couldn't help but shake his head.

"Senior, I truly cannot bear these treasures. Even if there is some karma of the Western Wang Mu's Kingdom legacy on me, as long as I don't pay attention to it, others won't suspect it casually. After a long time, they will naturally know that this matter is fake."

Li Zhong glanced at the bronze tiger-faced tablet and shook his head, "So, Senior, destroy this thing! Originally, we held it because we wanted to find the whereabouts of Ancestor Gao. But now..."

"It seems you truly want to carve out a path with your own ability!"

Qian Chen pondered slightly and said, "Since you do not wish to bear a Heavenly Mandate that descended for no reason, then accumulate your foundation bit by bit. When a Heaven's Pride Phoenix Son falls among your descendants, the Heavenly Mandate will prove itself."

"But even if the Xiliang secret treasure cannot become your help, it should not continue to hinder you. It just so happens that the Demon Calamity is coming, so I will discard this entanglement of karma for you!"

"But there is one thing you should not refuse!"

Qian Chen looked back and said, "That is also your brother's wish..."

Li Zhong couldn't help but laugh, "I am not a hypocrite who pretends to be lofty. If my brother wants to promote me, I won't push away his good intentions. What I said about Heavenly Mandate before was just out of reverence."

"Of course!"

He pulled out the broken blade, clamped the blade with his left elbow, and wiped it. The rusty blade reflected dots of cold light, the malevolent qi biting.

"I have already walked my own path. If my brother wants me to go up the mountain and cultivate the Dao with him, that would be forcing a man!"

Qian Chen spread his hands. Li Zhong was slightly stunned and carefully placed the broken blade in his palm.

With a casual wave, all the killing intent was restrained within the blade's light. Li Zhong's eyes suddenly brightened. He saw that within the nine-story pagoda, a blade light, bright beyond words, rose from the deep darkness of the infinite human heart.

Kui, Lou, Wei, Mao... Seven starlight rays, along with the swaying stars in the sky, transformed into a blade light that cut through the star sea, slashing down from the horizon.

"Bai Hu Seven-Kill Force!"

Li Zhong's tone was grim. He saw the broken blade in Qian Chen's hand emit a high-pitched, pleasant sound, the biting killing intent almost turning into substance.

"Is the Bai Hu Seven-Kill your Dao?" Qian Chen said calmly, "But someone has already walked that path!"

Li Zhong subconsciously shook his head, "No... it is just a road, not the end!"

"Then I have four styles to teach you!"

Qian Chen wiped the broken blade with his tattered robe. Strangely, the mottled rust and the dust covered by time and slaughter were all wiped away by the tattered monk's robe, which was so dirty its original color couldn't be seen, revealing the blade's re-shining sharpness.

Furthermore, a divine light from the four directions of East, West, South, and North fell into it.

Brushing away the filth of the Azure Heaven, the Four Spirits appear... ===== CHAPTER 847 =====
