Chapter 1422 - Black Tortoises Shell
The moment Liu Wuxie opened the box, a violent aura exploded from within and swept across the skies above the Auspicious Cloud Hall. Even Hua Feiyu shifted his gaze toward it, intent on seeing what his chief disciple had presented to his junior.
"It's a black tortoise's shell!" exclaimed the Divine Sun-Moon Palace's palace lord, an expert at the Heaven Gaze Realm.
The black tortoise was one of the four great divine beasts, standing on equal footing with the Qilins. The four divine beasts were the Azure Dragon of the East, the White Tiger of the West, the Vermilion Bird of the South, and the Black Tortoise of the North.
However, these four great divine beasts were unimaginably rare, and rumors had long claimed that they were already extinct.
No one knew where Sun Xiao had obtained the black tortoise's shell. Judging from the intricate patterns etched across its surface, this Black Tortoise had lived for at least hundreds of thousands of years.
At its peak, this black tortoise had likely reached the Quasi-Immortal level, or perhaps an even higher realm.
"Senior Brother, this gift is too much. I can't accept it," Liu Wuxie said, attempting to return the box to his senior brother.
This was a black tortoise's shell, a blacksmithing material capable of forging Quasi-Immortal Artifacts. The immortal runes within it could tempt cultivators at the Quasi-Immortal Realm, let alone those at the Void Realm.
If his senior brother were to keep it, the shell would play a crucial role in his future.
"Senior Brother, this is a token of my goodwill. Please don't turn it away. I noticed that your weapon can no longer keep up with your cultivation, and this black tortoise's shell suits you perfectly," Sun Xiao said, casting a glance at Liu Wuxie's Heretic Blade.
The grade of the Heretic Blade could no longer keep pace with Liu Wuxie's cultivation and needed to be upgraded. However, obtaining top-tier blacksmithing materials was no easy feat. Even Hua Feiyu had spent tens of thousands of years forging the Divine Heavenly Feather Robe.
Trying to forge an artifact comparable to those of the Earth Immortal Realm would usually require at least several thousand years, but Liu Wuxie did not have that kind of time.
