Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

"Kid, how's Zheng Xuan doing?"

Gu Jun looked at Xu Yang, his expression solemn.

Although he knew the complicated relationship between Xu Yang and Zheng Xuan, Zheng Xuan had played an indispensable role in Xu Yang's recovery; that treasure was no small thing!

All things considered, he owed Zheng Xuan a favor!

Xu Yang gave a faint smile: "He's dead!"

His expression was calm, as if talking about a stranger!

With Zheng Xuan's death, everything vanished like smoke!

Gu Jun sighed inwardly.

Dead!

"Teacher, before Zheng Xuan died, he..."

Xu Yang recounted every hidden secret that Zheng Xuan spoke before he died, not missing a word.

After hearing it all, Gu Jun's face changed again and again!

To be honest, he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Good heavens!"

Damn, they're all princes and imperial descendants!

Daqian could truly be called the sole ruler of this world!

Unimaginably powerful!

The princes and imperial descendants of Daqian—one can only imagine their status!

Zheng Xuan was of royal blood!

Song Yuanhao was one as well!

Gu Jun eyed Xu Yang strangely; Zheng Xuan was the current emperor's elder brother, so this kid must be...

Ahem, but thinking of Xu Yang's character, Gu Jun couldn't help but shake his head!

This kid would never admit it!

No matter how great the benefits of acknowledging it, he'd see it all as a burden!

"This is getting interesting. The Great Hao establishes its court, the emperor yet to appear; Zheng Xuan acted as vanguard and sacrificed himself in death. He said his lifespan was running short, in such a brief time—it must be that he practiced some secret technique!"

"I suspect, back in his childhood, something major must have happened, forcing him onto this path!" Gu Jun said with deep meaning.

In other words, Zheng Xuan had no other choice!

Otherwise, he would've died back then.

Or surviving after that, would not have lived long—only able to cultivate that secret technique!

Perhaps, since that time, they were already planning for today!

Truly terrifying!

Even Gu Jun himself found the emperor's true intentions difficult to fathom right now!

Is it just waiting for the chance to lure Song Yuanhao and his father out, then erase them?

Probably not!

"As for the rest... Zheng Xuan was right; this world is far from as simple as you think—even I know very little!"

"The special significance of Daqian's existence..."

Gu Jun paused slightly, gazing at Xu Yang, "Right now, you don't have the qualifications to investigate this. But when you've reached a high enough level, maybe you can make a trip to the Capital City!"

Xu Yang was thoughtful!

He didn't care about his own identity—he treated it as if it didn't exist!

But it was the truth!

If the time ever came when he needed to know certain secrets, he wouldn't mind making that trip!

Xu Yang gave a silent nod.

"Enough, let's not talk about this!"

"Here, your treasure!"

Gu Jun tossed out a streak of bloody light with a casual gesture.

Asura Blood Book!

Xu Yang's eyes instantly lit up; looking at the Asura Blood Book before him, excitement was beyond words!

True Monarch's Supreme Treasure!

And even among Supreme Treasures, the Asura Blood Book was by no means weak!

The true form of this treasure was a perfectly flat ancient book!

The entire thing was crimson, as if freshly soaked in blood, glistening as if drops might fall at any moment!

No words or markings on its surface, yet in its haze, he seemed to see the vast Asura Hell, billowing Blood Sea, countless bloody phantoms drifting—chilling to the soul!

"I've come to know this treasure quite well myself."

Gu Jun's eyes flashed with nostalgia, then he laughed smugly: "Mr. Huangfu would never dream that the Asura Blood Book would end up in my disciple's hands, hahaha!!"

Gu Jun laughed heartily.

Xu Yang grinned as well.

Right now, Huangfu Qing's mood must be awful!

Actually, more than awful—he's probably completely shattered!

"The Asura Blood Book has three stages. As its wielder's cultivation grows, their mastery increases, and they gradually unlock its true power!"

"First stage: Asura Blood Sea, domain!"

Gu Jun said gravely, "In the Celestial Profound Sunset Battle Chess of the Northern Territory, you've personally felt the might of a domain! For an ordinary Martial Artist to unleash a domain, they must reach the Late Stage of Myriad Phenomena Realm, the perfection level at least!"

"A domain is like a world; within it, the master reigns supreme. Of course, the strength of the domain matters immensely!"

Xu Yang deeply agreed.

A domain makes an enormous difference in actual combat!

The Asura Blood Book's domain—there's no need to say more!

"The second stage is what Huangfu Qing just used in the void—Asura Divine General, though that kid wasn't even half-mastered yet!"

"This stage is called Asura Transformation. With the Asura Blood Book as the foundation, you become an Asura Divine General, forging an Asura Blood Body—an immensely powerful physical form steeped in bloody fiendish energy; Asura Blood Armor, equal to peak Divine Weapons, defensively unparalleled; Asura Blood Eyes, holding limitless Asura blood fiend energy, soul-shattering; Asura Blood Soldier, you can conjure whatever Divine Weapon you like to attack!"

"Third stage: Asura Blood Fire, this connects to the True Monarch realm—only someone at that level can wield it! A True Monarch powerhouse has another title: True Monarch Minghuo!"

"Minghuo?"

Xu Yang's spirit trembled, "So Asura Blood Fire is a type of Minghuo?"

"Exactly!"

"Among all types of Minghuo, Asura Blood Fire's Evil Qi is staggering—it's truly formidable. Even at my peak, Mr. Huangfu's Asura Blood Fire could last a few moments against my Purple Sun Heaven-Burning Fire!"

At this, Xu Yang couldn't help but click his tongue!

The might of Asura Blood Fire made Purple Sun Heaven-Burning Fire look all the more impressive!

"Although this isn't a blood fire you've cultivated yourself, once you break through to True Monarch and fully master it, it will be a deadly trump card for you; and if you ever find a Minghuo that's ancestral to Asura Blood Fire and fuse it in, its power will ascend even further!"

"Worthy of being a True Monarch's Supreme Treasure!"

Xu Yang grinned, "If I get the chance, I'll snatch that other treasure from Huangfu Qing too!"

Gu Jun's mouth twitched, "The Huangfu Family's luck meeting you is eight generations' worth of bad luck!"

Xu Yang had his sights set on them so fiercely, even Gu Jun felt bad for Huangfu Qing!

"The other treasure should be the Huangfu Family's Blood Blade Seal—the clan leader's insignia. It's no less than the Asura Blood Book and specializes in attacking and rending; if you really can steal it, I recommend fusing it with the Asura Blood Book—that'd make it easier to control both!"

Xu Yang nodded.

"Hurry and start refining it!"

"It'll take some time to refine this treasure!" Gu Jun said.

"Teacher, I'm not in a rush. Liu Yun—uh, Mr. Liou and the rest are all in the Purple Fire Celestial Prison. I'm thinking of turning this place into a new base!"

"A new base?"

Gu Jun raised his brows, then smiled, "Good idea!"

The Purple Fire Celestial Prison was pretty suitable!

"Also, after the Barbarian Race trouble, I rescued Tuoba Hongyu—she seems to carry the race's Supreme Treasure, but her current condition isn't great. This trip to the Tianyuan Secret Realm, I'm hoping to craft a pill to wake her up!" Xu Yang said with a bitter smile.

Gu Jun cast a weird look at Xu Yang—the Barbarian princess joined the crowd too...

Although Xu Yang didn't seem the type, you couldn't help but let your thoughts wander!

"How's Su Yun, that little girl?" Gu Jun suddenly asked.

"She's doing well."

Xu Yang's head instantly throbbed again!

Seeing Xu Yang's reaction, Gu Jun couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Kid, you're not short on peach blossom luck."

"Plenty dream of it but can't get it—you act all aggrieved. If it were me back in the day, hmph!"

"Teacher, maybe you should tell your disciple all about your own... adventures in romance?"

"By the way, do any of your old flames have descendants nowadays?"

"Descendants..."

Gu Jun's figure suddenly stiffened, his expression grew dazed, as if lost in reverie!

Xu Yang's eyes narrowed, secretly thinking: Could there really be?
