Chapter 518: The Elusive Truth, Unfathomable (Part 2)
" Qi Yuan asked curiously.
"According to the Secret of Origins, this might be related to the divine tree in the Sacred Wood Abyss." The member of Thorn Blood calmly sent a message, "These mythical legends are too ancient, why has Brother Knife suddenly become interested in them?"
"Because I'm good at it!"
...
In the capital of Ning Kingdom, dark clouds loomed.
Crack!
The sound of hail echoed, a continuous clatter.
A young man in a purple robe with golden trim reached out, grabbed a piece of hail, and popped it into his mouth.
men around him trembled, some involuntarily.
"It's all because of the existence of the royal family that the hail and even the air in Raksha Kingdom are sweet."
"Haha." Wu Wei laughed, feeling proud.
The royal family of Raksha Kingdom bore the surname Wu.
Emperor Wu Yuxian was the sun of Raksha Kingdom.
After all, since the destruction of Divine Judgment, the royal family of Raksha Kingdom had become unstoppable, the true rulers of the kingdom!
"Some treacherous people don't want to see the beauty of Raksha Kingdom, and they even think of welcoming back the God of Judgment!" Wu Wei mentioned this, his face turning cold with killing intent.
The faces of the people around him also changed, some trembling involuntarily.
The name of the God of Judgment put immense pressure on them.
Even a hundred years ago, it was like a hanging sword over their heads, and no one knew when that sword would fall.
"What, are you afraid of Him?" Wu Wei sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.
He was born after the destruction of Divine Judgment and had never seen it.
Naturally, he held no reverence for Divine Judgment.
And so, despite his young age, he had reached the Celestial Rank before the age of a hundred, becoming the youngest Armament Master in the royal family. He was naturally proud and arrogant.
"No," the eunuch quickly replied.
"It's just a broken artifact. Why should we fear it?" said a tall man.
The Fifth Wei's eyes lit up with a brilliant smile, "The Divine Judgment has been destroyed. Even if there are remnants of the artifact left behind, it's just a wandering spirit. Any one of us can easily suppress it."
Moreover, the royal family was able to suppress the Divine Judgment. Even if it were to return to its peak, the royal family could suppress it a second time!"
The other Celestial Rank Armament Masters took a deep breath upon hearing this.
They wanted to say, "Don't be so arrogant, Your Highness!"
The Divine Judgment was a force that could suppress an entire nation.
The Fifth Wei knew the circumstances of its downfall better than anyone.
In the beginning, the royal family was discontent with the Divine Judgment, like a sharp sword hanging over their heads. So, they prepared to join forces with some of the powerful families to deal with it.
However, they didn't dare to confront it directly. In the end, they even broke their own backs, colluding with enemy countries and employing treacherous schemes.
After all, the Divine Judgment was merely a magical tool, and it followed the rules, making it easy to target and defeat.
So, the royal family colluded with the enemy countries.
The enemy country sent a large army to besiege, and the royal family took the opportunity to summon the Divine Judgment.
The Divine Judgment descended from the heavens, just a magical tool, and yet it single-handedly held off the enemy army outside Fengluo City for half a month, ultimately destroying it.
By then, the Raksha Kingdom no longer had the Divine Judgment, and the royal family, along with the powerful families, no longer had a sword hanging over their heads.
The Fifth Wei knew this history, but he had never witnessed the intensity of that battle. In his heart, he looked down upon the Divine Judgment.
However, the others felt differently. They knew the power and terror of the Divine Judgment.
"The Divine Judgment is indeed shattered. Now, with strange phenomena occurring, there should be some fragments left behind, but it's nothing to be afraid of," the tall man said solemnly.
Indeed, the Divine Judgment had been destroyed long ago.
Given the ruthlessness of the royal family, how could they have allowed the Divine Judgment to survive?
In the beginning, after the Battle of Fallen Phoenix City, the royal family searched for the fragments of the Divine Judgment. Then, they gathered three Divine Rank Artisans to melt the fragments, turning them into ashes to ensure the Divine Judgment's complete destruction.
After that, they launched a massive manhunt, searching for the Divine Judgment's statue. Any statue they found was destroyed, thoroughly eradicating the Divine Judgment.
It could be said that even if there were fragments of the Divine Judgment left behind, without the statue or anything else, it was merely an Earth Rank battle power at best. Even if it was the Raksha Kingdom's number one sacred artifact, it could barely reach the Celestial Rank in terms of power, which was insignificant to the Fifth Wei.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the remnants of the Judgement Council, those rats in the sewers, these mere fragments of the Divine Judgment wouldn't be worth my personal visit," the Fifth Wei said.
Although the Divine Judgment wasn't worth mentioning, the Judgement Council was a bit troublesome, with many Celestial Rank Armament Masters among them.
If they were to find the fragments of the Divine Judgment and slowly nurture them with the collective power of the Council, they might be able to revive the deity. If the fragments were to regain a hint of divine essence and unleash the power of the sacred artifact, that would be a problem.
It had been so many years, and yet the Judgement Council still didn't understand reality. How foolish.
"Do you have any information on the fragments of the Divine Judgment?" the Fifth Wei asked.
"In Jiangzhou, there were traces of the Divine Judgment," the eunuch quickly replied.
He told the story of what happened in Red Cloud Camp.
The Fifth Wei couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this, "To deal with a few dozen Yellow Rank malevolent spirits, yet it took so long. These fragments of the Divine Judgment are truly laughably weak. Why would I need to go there? Even if you, Mo Sankaong, a man without roots, were to pee on them, it would drown them."
The old eunuch, Mo Sankaong, smiled awkwardly, his back hunching even more, "Your Highness speaks the truthfully."
"This country is so weak it's terrifying. Only they would consider the 'heroic act' of keeping the fragments of the Divine Judgment as a deity."
What's even more laughable is that a mere Earth Rank Peak malevolent spirit was beyond their control, and it took the Cloud Tower Princess with a magical tool kitchen knife to slay it." The Fifth Wei spoke indifferently.
"If Your Highness desires that magical tool, this old servant will go to Ye Mountain Lake right now and bring it to you," the old eunuch, Mo Sankaong, quickly replied.
"Hmph, a mere Celestial Rank magical tool is not worth my attention," the Fifth Wei said disdainfully. "However, I've heard that there's a Yin Essence Body here. I might give her a chance to serve me as my personal maid."
The Fifth Wei was domineering, and his body exuded a terrifying aura.
In the Raksha Kingdom, there were still people he respected, but in this Ink Mountain Country, he was truly without restraint.
The only thing he had to be cautious about was the Judgement Council.
"Yes, Your Highness!" the old eunuch, Mo Sankaong, quickly replied.
The other Celestial Rank Armament Masters on the side showed envious expressions.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, for obtaining this girl. Your cultivation will surely increase greatly!"
"With a Yin Essence Body, Your Highness's cultivation will surely deepen!"
The Fifth Wei's smile grew even wider, "I hope this Yin Essence Body knows what's good for her and grows up nicely, so as not to disappoint me."
...
Luotong Water Lord was defeated.
The Artisan Assembly had ended, but the various families did not leave immediately.
This time, with so many Artisans and powerful individuals gathered, it was a rare opportunity.
Auctions and exchanges were held continuously.
In a small courtyard, Qi Yuan wore a white robe, looking like a celestial being.
"As the saying goes, 'Practicing the body to move like a crane.' No, you're learning the Turtle Transformation Art. You should emulate a turtle."
During his cultivation, you must imitate the way a turtle walks and basks in the sun." Qi Yuan said to Zhan Wenyu, who was standing beside him.
These past few days, Zhan Wenyu had come to seek guidance from Qi Yuan on the Turtle Transformation Art.
Tu San Gongzi's silver couldn't buy any other lightsabers, so he also spent money to purchase the Turtle Transformation Art for cultivation.
"Learn how a turtle walks?"
Zhan Wenyu was very talented and immediately crouched on the ground.
"Is this right?"
"Yes, you have good comprehension. The key to walking like a turtle lies in the word 'slow'," Qi Yuan explained.
"It's all thanks to Master Qi's teaching," Zhan Wenyu flattered.
Tu San Gongzi, standing beside them, blinked his eyes.
If he hadn't witnessed Qi Yuan's strength, he might have truly thought Qi Yuan was a fraud.
Learning how a turtle walks—this is what cultivation is about.
"But you must go further," Qi Yuan said, giving Zhan Wenyu a push.
Instantly, Zhan Wenyu flipped over like a turtle, ending up upside down.
Just as he was about to struggle to get up, he heard Qi Yuan say, "When a turtle is flipped over, it's difficult for it to turn itself back. Remember this key point."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Wenyu felt it made sense, and he remained motionless with his four limbs in the air.
Seeing this, Tu San Gongzi stood quietly to the side.
"Tu Jingshi, do you know where there are many Heaven Rank Armament Masters, especially those evil ones?" Qi Yuan asked.
He was now eager to take away others' Heaven and Man as One state and advance further.
"I... I don't know," Tu San Gongzi shook his head.
There wasn't a single Heaven Rank Armament Master in Ning Kingdom, so how would he know where they were abundant?
"Sigh, the hardships of life. In Ning Kingdom, laziness prevails, and Armament Masters don't strive, not even mosquitoes."
Slap! Qi Yuan swatted a mosquito to death.
"If this mosquito were a Heaven Rank Armament Master, how wonderful would that be?"
Tu San Gongzi stood quietly, unsure how to respond.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and his expression changed slightly, "Master Qi, have you heard... In the imperial capital, there are Heaven Rank Armament Masters from Raksha Kingdom. They seem to be here because of a deity named 'Divine Judgment'."
As Tu San Gongzi spoke, he also observed Qi Yuan's expression.
"Among them are many Heaven Rank Armament Masters with formidable strength. Master Qi, be cautious," Tu San Gongzi reminded.
"Oh, is that so?" Qi Yuan's expression remained calm, giving no hint of his thoughts.
"They are divided into two factions. One seems to be benevolent towards Divine Judgment, while the other seems to want to exterminate it. However, this might just be an act, and both factions could have ulterior motives, merely putting on a show," Tu San Gongzi continued, "But this is just the surface. It's possible that both factions have hidden agendas and are merely putting on an act."
"Hmm, I understand," Qi Yuan stretched lazily.
He looked at Tu San Gongzi, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Do you dare to take the lightsaber I gave you and make a trip to the imperial capital?"
Tu San Gongzi's expression froze, his mind filled with various thoughts.
"This..." He was a bit afraid.
Why would Master Qi ask him to do this?
Was this a test?
What would happen if he refused?
His mind was in disarray, filled with countless thoughts, and he didn't know how to respond.
At that moment, Zhan Wenyu, still upside down, spoke disdainfully, "Master Qi is asking you to go, and you're hesitating?
Would Master Qi harm you?
If he wanted to harm you, why go through all this trouble? He could just feed you to the fish!
If you're not brave enough, give me the lightsaber, and I'll go to the imperial capital!"
Upon hearing this, Tu San Gongzi's face turned slightly red with embarrassment.
Yes, if Master Qi wanted to harm him, why go through all this trouble and take such a roundabout approach?
Not to mention that Master Qi had even saved his life before.
How could he be timid in such a situation?
Although it might be dangerous, it could also be an opportunity.
"I'm willing to go!" Tu San Gongzi quickly replied, "But... what should I do after I arrive at the imperial capital?"
Qi Yuan stretched lazily again, "Just go with the flow. When you feel the need to summon a deity, do so."
Hearing this, Tu San Gongzi was also a bit bewildered.
Was he giving him full autonomy? But then he thought of something, and his expression turned to one of delight, "I can summon a deity?"
After the last battle, the summoning function had disappeared.
The lightsaber couldn't be used either.
"Hmm, right. Since you're using the summoning once on my behalf, I won't let you lose out. How about 3334 taels? I'm being very generous, giving a little extra. Don't call me stingy," Qi Yuan reached for his silver.
"Master Qi, why would you need to pay silver?" Tu San Gongzi quickly stopped him.
It was like someone receiving a red envelope during the New Year, stuffing it back into the giver's pocket, not letting them take it out.
Qi Yuan blinked, "Since you're so firm in your stance, I won't go against your will. I won't give you the silver then."
"Of course!" Tu San Gongzi dared not ask Qi Yuan for the silver.
"But I won't let you lose out either. If you use the summoning once on my behalf, I'll help you modify this lightsaber, allowing for one more summoning. Of course, don't misuse it," Qi Yuan said.
He didn't like taking advantage of others unless that person was his one true love.
Why?
Because his love was deep.
Because his one true love was the most special person to him.
Hearing this, Tu San Gongzi's eyes lit up with joy.
The joy came too quickly!
"Master Qi, rest assured, I definitely won't misuse it," Tu San Gongzi quickly assured.
"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to visit my wife at the Heavenly Sect now," Qi Yuan said, ready to continue his role as a dependent husband.
To play the part well, he couldn't neglect interactions with his wife.
As for the Heaven and Man as One state and the visitors from Raksha Kingdom, he would let Tu San Gongzi handle it with the lightsaber.
