“The Yin Sha Qi of Iron Sword Pass has finally been completely refined by me, it’s time to return to the Sect.” Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire
Xu Jing swallowed all the Yin Sha Qi of Iron Sword Pass, summoned the Flying Sword behind him, and returned to Mount Taihua.
The Yin Sha Qi that had accumulated over years at Iron Sword Pass disappeared, leaving behind a dilapidated fortress. What was different was that it no longer had that eerie feeling.
Xu Jing returned to Mount Taihua.
At that time, only the ninth senior brother, Dugu Aotian, was practicing Demonic Cultivation Skills at Yuntai Peak, while the other senior brothers and sisters were out for experience.
“I had foreseen your return, come to my cave, I will pass on my power to you.”
Just as Xu Jing returned to Yuntai Peak, the voice of his master Lu Changsheng echoed in his mind, taking Xu Jing by surprise.
Your master is surely worthy of being your master.
Xu Jing arrived at Lu Changsheng’s cave and received the Power-infusing Initiation from Lu Changsheng.
Overwhelming True Qi flowed from the Heavenly Spirit down into Xu Jing’s Dantian Qi Sea, greatly increasing his cultivation level.
“Today you have returned to the Sect, and I have a magical treasure to bestow upon you.”
Lu Changsheng took out a superior Hol y Artifact.
It was a Longsword, thin as cicada wings, semi-transparent, yet radiating with bone-chilling coldness. Inside the sword, one could faintly see souls struggling.
This sword had absorbed the Yin Sha Qi of the Netherworld, and the spirit that produced it was also full of aggressive Yin energy.
With the help of Huo Wen, daughter of the Candle Dragon clan leader, Lu Changsheng exchanged a batch of magical treasures, treasures, and Cultivation Techniques from the Candle Dragon tribe with the Demon Realm.
This superior Holy Artifact “Yin Sword” was one of the treasures from the Netherworld that Lu Changsheng bestowed upon Xu Jing, followed by a system reward of a treasure at the level of a Holy Artifact.
Lu Changsheng once again bestowed the system rewarded treasure.
[Ding, you have bestowed the superior Holy Artifact “Yin Sword” to your disciple Xu Jing, receiving a Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator million-fold return reward: Dao Artifact Fragment×1.]
The Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator triggered a million-fold return, directly rewarding a Dao Artifact Fragment.
Thus, Lu Changsheng possessed eighteen Dao Artifact Fragments.
[Ding, You now have eighteen Dao Artifact Fragments, which meets the minimum requirements for synthesizing a Dao confirmation treasure. Would you like to synthesize a Dao confirmation treasure, or would you prefer to keep the fragments?]
Eighteen Dao Artifact Fragments can synthesize a Dao Artifact?
“Synthesize.”
Lu Changsheng chose to synthesize a Dao Artifact.
He would have the opportunity to obtain more Dao Artifact Fragments in the future, but for now, it was vital to have a Dao Artifact for self-protection.
[Ding, You have used eighteen Dao Artifact Fragments, synthesizing the Ninth-grade Dao Artifact—Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower.]
An eight-layered Treasure Pagoda with a bronze-like materialization appeared within Lu Changsheng’s Inner World.
This treasure tower had eight faces, each carved with a lifelike Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
The entire pagoda exuded an ancient aura from the age of desolation, causing Lu Changsheng’s Inner World to shake violently, nearly collapsing under the might of the pagoda.
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda sensed a threat to the Inner World newly forged within Lu Changsheng and emanated brilliant light to resist the desolate aura of the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower.
Not only the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, but the Qing Emperor Sword, the Nameless Ancient Cauldron, the Earth Scripture, and other magical treasures also began activating. Surprisingly, these treasures joined forces to suppress the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower.
The spirit of the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower had not expected Lu Changsheng’s Inner World to house so many treasures, some of which were of a higher grade than itself, and thus dared not act rashly.
“Could this treasure be the Dao confirmation treasure of the Dragon Subduing Divine King?”
Lu Changsheng recalled reading in an ancient book that one hundred and twenty million years ago, a genius Loose Cultivator appeared in the Immortal Realm, someone whose cultivation had broken through to the ninth layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm and slaughtered dozens of True Dragons in the Demon Realm’s Dragon Clan tribe, including many at the level of Great Accomplishment in the Immortal Emperor Realm. The great Sects and Holy Lands of the Immortal Realm called him the “Dragon Subduing Divine King.”
The treasure he used, the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower, was initially commissioned to be crafted as a superior Emperor Soldier by Haotian Holy Land but eventually became a Ninth-grade Dao Artifact following the Divine King’s successful Dao confirmation and his further request for Haotian Holy Land to reforge it.
LAfterwards, the whereabouts of the Divine King became unknown. There were rumors in the Immortal Realm that the Dragon Subduing Divine King had been retaliated against by the Dragon Clan and ultimately fell. Hence, his Dao confirmation treasure also vanished without a trace.
“It is said that even Dragon Clan powerhouses at the level of Great Accomplishment in the Immortal Emperor Realm, once imprisoned within the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower, cannot escape.”
Lu Changsheng knew this was a supreme magical treasure used for suppressing and imprisoning powerful enemies.
The Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower was a Ninth-grade Dao Artifact; even if it was just used as a brick to throw, it could injure an Immortal Emperor powerhouse.
Lu Changsheng’s True Qi flowed continuously into the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower, and with a tremendous effort equivocal to that of nine oxen and two tigers, he barely managed to Refine the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower.
Since the original owner, the Dragon Subduing Divine King, had perished, the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower was now ownerless. During the Refining process, Lu Changsheng also mastered the Mnemonic Verse of the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower.
As long as one possesses the Mnemonic Verse of a Dao Artifact, the treasure will not be easily claimed by an opponent.
“Use a battle simulation opportunity.”
Lu Changsheng was eager to test the might of the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower.
The scene before his eyes changed and the light dimmed rapidly as he appeared in the Nine Nether Forbidden Land, with the system simulating an enemy, the headless corpse he had once faced alongside Dantai Meng.
This headless corpse stood six hundred feet tall, wielding a Demon Blade that glimmered with a frightening gleam.
Although this headless corpse was just an enemy simulated by the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, Lu Changsheng still felt an oppressive terror.
The strength of the headless corpse was equivalent to an Immortal Emperor at the level of Great Accomplishment, able to continuously absorb the Yin Sha Qi within the Nine Nether Forbidden Land to repair its body.
