Chapter 247

And that crimson evil arrow she couldn't see through was, by the same token, given to Jiang Sishui by her.

Yet the moment she returned, before she could explain herself with two sentences, she was severely "punished" by Jiang Sishui.

Fairy Consort Green Mother was no fool either, and quickly guessed that it was most likely Flower Fairy stirring up trouble again.

She decided to go all in, embracing the idea of "perishing together," and suggested to Jiang Sishui that they bring the Flower Fairy along as well.

Jiang Sishui naturally agreed.

Besides, to ease the conflict between the two women, the bowl of water had to be held level—one side could not be favored too much.

Thus Flower Fairy, completely unprepared, was swept into it.

After Jiang Sishui left to write his diary, she felt her soul drift right out of her body, barely able to control herself.

Flower Fairy saw Fairy Consort Green Mother's contemptuous posture, and secretly grew annoyed.

But she really was too tired, and had no strength left to compete with the other party.

The little energy she had left, she still wanted to see what great gift Fairy Consort Green Mother had given Jiang Sishui.

【In "Divine Weapon Marvels," there are ten great Heavenly Divine Weapons】

【Heavenly Crystal, Tiger Soul, Grand Void, Soul-Devouring, Shennong Scepter, Divine Dance, Phoenix, Frightening Evil, Heaven's Punishment, Ten Directions Annihilation】

【Apart from "Ten Directions Annihilation," today I saw another Heavenly Divine Weapon—"Heaven's Punishment"!】

【Too bad it isn't complete either, but only a single arrow】

【The Arrow of Heaven's Punishment is precisely the great gift Fairy Consort gave me】

"Heavenly Divine Weapon? It's actually a Heavenly Divine Weapon?!"

Every woman was utterly astonished.

When "Ten Directions Annihilation" first appeared, "Divine Weapon Marvels" could be said to have left them an extremely deep impression.

After all, the people and things inside were far too terrifying—even demigods were nothing in there, only cannon-fodder ants.

This had thoroughly overturned their entire worldview.

And now, a Heavenly Divine Weapon had actually appeared once more!

One coincidence after another all proved that this world was far more alien than they had imagined.

"'Heaven's Punishment'? What an overbearing name!"

Just like "Ten Directions Annihilation," this Heavenly Divine Weapon, merely upon hearing its name, carried a vast, sweeping grandeur rushing toward one, making the soul tremble again and again.

……

A glint flashed through Flower Fairy's eyes, her drowsiness suddenly receding quite a bit, as she looked at Fairy Consort Green Mother: "You actually have a remnant of a Heavenly Divine Weapon! Where did you get it? Could it be an heirloom of Immortal Water Palace?"

Fairy Consort Green Mother's lips curved slightly, and she spat out two words: "Guess."

Flower Fairy's expression stalled, then she sneered coldly: "If you won't tell, then don't—I'll find out on my own."

Seeing she couldn't keep Flower Fairy on the hook, Fairy Consort Green Mother said: "Speaking of which, this actually has something to do with you."

Has something to do with me?

Flower Fairy fell silent, quietly waiting for what came next.

"'The Arrow of Heaven's Punishment is hidden inside 'Heavenly Sword.'"

"And 'Heavenly Sword' is what I traded you to him for."

"So? Thinking about it this way, don't you feel you've become more valuable?"

Fairy Consort Green Mother opened her eyes, an ambiguous half-smile on her face.

Flower Fairy: "……"

So this was how Fairy Consort Green Mother had obtained the remnant of a Heavenly Divine Weapon!

Flower Fairy was indeed quite surprised, but right now the initiative of the conversation wasn't with her, and she didn't want to say more to Fairy Consort Green Mother.

She gave a cold snort, turned her head away, and continued reading the diary.

274 Killing Son to Forge Weapon, Descendants of the Arrow God

【"Heaven's Punishment" is one bow and nine arrows, the only ranged Heavenly Divine Weapon; its birth was also accompanied by cruelty and bloodshed】

【In ancient times, the Western Lord of Evil Spirits, Luo Sha, after his magic reached great completion, wielded one of the Heavenly Divine Weapons, "Soul-Devouring," and stormed straight into Tiangong】

【All the Heavenly Generals were struck down, and the Jade Emperor was forced to temporarily retreat】

【Luo Sha, fond of grand achievements and absurdly arrogant, wished to dominate all under heaven】

【At that time, the Jade Emperor's daughter Weiyin offered a plan, willing to sacrifice herself to move Luo Sha with sincere devotion; the Jade Emperor consented】

【Luo Sha was initially drawn by Weiyin's beauty, and later they became husband and wife, and he gradually turned toward the righteous path】

【But the Jade Emperor, fearing Luo Sha might change, launched a sneak attack and broke "Soul-Devouring" into three pieces】

【Luo Sha's fury blazed to the heavens; he used his own tendons to rejoin "Soul-Devouring," then advanced on the Jade Emperor again—who would have thought that in the chaos he accidentally killed Weiyin】

【Luo Sha's mind was thrown into utter chaos; he was besieged by the Heavenly Generals and gravely wounded, and was finally sealed by the Jade Emperor within the netherworld】

Lord of Evil Spirits… Tiangong… Jade Emperor… Heavenly Soldiers and Generals…

Seeing once more these words that seemed to exist only in myths and legends, the women still could not help feeling somewhat dazed.

After quite a while, they finally began to think it over.

407 Jade Emperor!

This name—so long as one is a child of the Han, from the moment they begin to remember things as a child, probably no one does not know it, no one has not heard of it.

It's just that the Jade Emperor's image in "Divine Weapon Marvels" doesn't seem all that good.

When a powerful enemy came, he couldn't beat them.

When he couldn't beat them, he offered his daughter for a peace marriage.

After the peace marriage, he went back on his word and launched a sneak attack, and indirectly caused the death of his own wise and righteous daughter.

No matter how you look at it, he seems like a petty villain.

Of course, not everyone shared this view.

Especially those in power within the major factions.

In his position, he must govern accordingly; as the Lord of Tiangong, the Jade Emperor ought to possess the foresight to anticipate danger in times of peace.

Once a threat emerges, striking first to nip it in the bud is understandable.

He may not be a good man, nor a good father, but as the Lord of Tiangong, he was qualified.

【Luo Sha had a sister—Heimu, wild and ferocious】

【To avenge her brother, she did not hesitate to kill her nine sons, each possessing evil powers, stripping their tendons to make bowstrings, melting their blood into a bow, and carving their bones into arrows, finally forging a divine weapon capable of slaying gods】

"Killing her sons to forge a weapon!" The women's hearts chilled.

But then they recalled she was a western evil spirit, and everything became a natural progression.

【Heimu fired nine arrows into the mortal world, charging straight toward Tiangong】

【The arrows pierced through the clouds, soaring to the Ninth Heaven; wherever the arrow wind passed, the celestial soldiers and generals were utterly annihilated in body and soul, invincible】

【At the critical moment, the Arrow God Hou Yi fortunately intervened in time, using the "Sun-Shooting Bow" to fire several "Sun-Chasing Arrows," striking the nine arrows and forcing them to veer off course】

【He then shot and killed Heimu, causing the nine arrows to completely lose control and scatter across the firmament】

【The Heavenly Realm thus narrowly escaped this calamity】

Narrowly escaped a calamity?

The women were somewhat speechless.

How is it that this so-called Tiangong can be challenged by just any strong individual?

There's Fuxi wielding the "Ten Directions Annihilation."

There's Luo Sha wielding "Soul-Devouring."

And now there's Heimu…

Does it mean that as long as a powerhouse is equipped with a divine weapon, they can slaughter their way through Tiangong?

Then this Tiangong really has no prestige at all!

【In this battle, although the "Sun-Shooting Bow" and "Sun-Chasing Arrows" only clashed indirectly with the "Heaven-Punishing Nine Arrows," they could not withstand its power and shattered into fragments】

【Sun-Shooting Bow… Sun-Chasing Arrows…】

【This reminds me of "Magic Sword Life-and-Death Chess," where the ultimate boss maintaining the Heavenly Dao—the descendant of the Arrow God, Dugu Jian Yin】

【Dugu Jian Yin possessed a set of bow and arrows, named: Eight Directions Sun-Shooting Bow, Four Symbols Sun-Shooting Arrows】

【Then could the bow and arrows in Dugu Jian Yin's possession be related to the ancient "Sun-Shooting Bow" and "Sun-Chasing Arrows"?】

"Magic Sword Life-and-Death Chess? And Heavenly Dao? It seems the power levels inside are no joke."

"But this 'Life-and-Death Chess'…"

Some well-informed women successively recalled a secret piece of lore.
