Chapter 403

"Dou Dou, what are you doing?"

"We went through so much trouble to get the Blood Ruyi, why do you want to shatter it?"

Tong Zhan asked Dou Dou, looking very confused.

Hearing Tong Zhan's confusion and seeing the look of doubt appearing in Tong Bo's eyes as well, Dou Dou explained:

"We stole the Blood Ruyi from the Sword-Forging Villa so easily; don't you think there's something suspicious about it?"

After hearing Dou Dou's words, a look of solemnity appeared in the eyes of both Tong Bo and Tong Zhan.

"If the Blood Ruyi in my hand is fake, then using it to treat the Clan Leader will not only be useless, but it might even worsen the Clan Leader's condition."

"So before using it, we must test the authenticity of this Blood Ruyi."

Dou Dou looked at Tong Bo and Tong Zhan's faces and continued.

"I've heard before that the real Blood Ruyi is impervious to swords and spears, and is incredibly hard."

"Now, if I try to throw it down with force, wouldn't it prove that the Blood Ruyi in my hand is the real one if it doesn't shatter?"

"When the time comes, we won't have any worries when we use the Blood Ruyi to treat the Clan Leader."

Hearing Dou Dou's words, Tong Bo and Tong Zhan pondered for a moment and felt that what Dou Dou said made a lot of sense.

Thus, both of them nodded in agreement.

Seeing Tong Bo and Tong Zhan nod, Dou Dou no longer hesitated; she channeled her internal energy and threw the Blood Ruyi in her hand onto the ground.

With a 'snap', as the Blood Ruyi made contact with the ground, it shattered instantly.

But before anyone could react, the shattered Blood Ruyi emitted bursts of blue radiance. Seeing this, Tong Zhan and Tong Bo immediately grabbed Dou Dou and Yin Xiu beside them and flew away from the spot rapidly.

As the blue radiance emitted by the shattered Blood Ruyi increased, the entire Water Moon Cave Heaven was enveloped in blue light.

A moment later, the Water Moon Cave Heaven, enveloped in blue light, including the people and objects within the cave, were all frozen into ice sculptures.

Only Tong Bo, Tong Zhan, Dou Dou, and Yin Xiu, who had reacted quickly at the beginning, escaped. Of course, there was also Tong Xin, who was healing from severe injuries at the inn outside. Apart from them, everything belonging to the Tong Clan was frozen within the Water Moon Cave Heaven.

The reason for this situation actually concerned the Blood Ruyi.

The Blood Ruyi Dou Dou had just obtained was indeed the real Blood Ruyi.

It was just that they did not know the hidden truth about the Blood Ruyi.

The Blood Ruyi was indeed a sacred object for healing in the world, even possessing the ability to bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bones.

But there was not one Blood Ruyi, but two!

Only when the two pieces of the Blood Ruyi were together could the healing efficacy of the Blood Ruyi be utilized.

If one only possessed one of them, the power that the Blood Ruyi would erupt with would be a destructive force opposite to its healing efficacy.

Just like this piece of the Blood Ruyi that Dou Dou and the others stole from the Sword-Forging Villa; because of the incorrect method of use, it froze the entire Water Moon Cave Heaven in an instant.

……

Great Tang, Chang'ancheng.

Yuan Tiangang was reporting to Li Shimin regarding the information related to the Peerless Good Sword that had just made the list.

"According to the news gathered by the Buried Ones,"

"The Peerless Good Sword was a divine sword forged by the Great Han's Sword-Forging Villa at its peak, taking a hundred years. It is said that the materials alone for forging the Peerless Good Sword consumed the foundation of how many generations of the Sword-Forging Villa."

"And the master of the Peerless Good Sword, Bu Jingyun, was a disciple of Xiongba of the World Society."

"His cultivation base also possesses the strength of a Half-Step Earth Immortal*Mortal Realm. In their Jianghu, Bu Jingyun is already considered a powerhouse."

"Now that there is the Heavenly Dao reward, according to my estimation, Bu Jingyun should completely step into the Earth Immortal realm and become a true Earth Immortal*Mortal Realm powerhouse."

Listening to Yuan Tiangang's introduction of the Peerless Good Sword and Bu Jingyun, a look of envy appeared in Li Shimin's eyes.

He looked up, staring fixedly at the Famous Sword List emitting strange mysterious light in the sky, his eyes revealing longing and anticipation.

"If I could possess a divine weapon like the Yuanhong Sword or the Peerless Good Sword, then I could also use the Heavenly Dao reward from the Famous Sword List to step into a very high Martial Dao realm."

"By then, not only will I become stronger, but the foundation of my Great Tang will also become even more profound."

Li Shimin muttered to himself, staring blankly at the Famous Sword List in the sky.

After a while, Li Shimin reacted and continued to ask Yuan Tiangang:

"What new progress is there regarding the secret realm?"

Yuan Tiangang said truthfully:

"The Buried Ones are still doing their utmost to analyze the seal of the secret realm on the outskirts. I believe we will soon have preliminary results."

Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Li Shimin gave a soft 'hm'.

Since he had missed the reward on the Divine Weapon List, the appearance of the Famous Sword List was another opportunity for him, Li Shimin.

This time, no matter what, Li Shimin would seize this opportunity!

And thereby obtain the Heavenly Dao reward!

……

Great Ming, Dragon-Protecting Villa.

Ever since Zhu Wushi sent the letter to the person who called themselves the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect,

he had been unable to focus on anything else.

Now, his mind was filled with thoughts of how to become stronger, what he would need to pay if the people of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect helped him, and where he could go to find the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom to save Suxin.

In fact, ever since participating in the trip to Xia Ke Island, Zhu Wushi's heart had been in turmoil. Seeing that there were so many powerhouses hidden in the Nine Provinces gave Zhu Wushi infinite pressure.

Just as Zhu Wushi was pondering the events of these past few days in his heart, a slender figure wearing a black robe, with the Big Dipper star system embroidered on the robe, appeared abruptly before Zhu Wushi.

Seeing the figure that suddenly appeared before him, a trace of shock appeared in Zhu Wushi's eyes.

Because although he was thinking about some things, with his cultivation base, it was impossible for him not to sense someone approaching him.

....... 0.......

Now, letting someone he knew nothing about approach him without his knowledge, and at such a close distance, was a very dangerous thing!

"Who are you!!?"

Zhu Wushi asked, staring fixedly at the black-robed person who had suddenly appeared before him.

"I am exactly the person you are looking for."

"Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect, Big Dipper Hall, Tian Quan."

Tian Quan sat very casually on the chair before Zhu Wushi, not paying any mind to Zhu Wushi's shock or any danger within the Dragon-Protecting Villa.

Zhu Wushi stared fixedly at Tian Quan before him, and his wariness toward the organization known as the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect deepened.

Judging by Tian Quan's name, he should only be a small leader within the Big Dipper star system of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect, yet he already possessed such terrifying cultivation.

One could imagine just how terrifying the entire strength of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect was.

Seeing that Zhu Wushi remained silent, Tian Quan spoke very relaxedly:

"You sent us a letter; have you made up your mind? To cooperate with our Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect?"

Upon hearing Tian Quan's words, a slightly sinister look appeared in Zhu Wushi's eyes, and he nodded, effectively accepting Tian Quan's words.

In truth, given Zhu Wushi's own dignity, he did not want to bow his head to any organization, but now he desperately wanted to improve his strength and become one of the strongest people in the Nine Provinces within a short period of time.

And the only way to rapidly improve his strength in a short time was to absorb the internal energy of others. At Zhu Wushi's current realm, absorbing the cultivation of ordinary people would no longer provide any increase for him.

So he had set his sights on the Eunuch Zheng He, but with Zhu Wushi's current ability, he was unable to contend with Zheng He.

Cooperating with the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect was Zhu Wushi's only choice now.

Tian Quan seemed not to sense Zhu Wushi's currently very sinister appearance, and then spoke as if it were a bolt from the blue:

"Do you want a complete Great Ming, or do you want a Great Ming in the midst of war?" ===== CHAPTER 404 =====
