Chapter 523 - 514: Celestial Destiny Immortal Gold, Vengeance for the Murder of a Son (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
The treasure chest was gold in color, with a pattern of a Golden Crow on it.
On top of the treasure chest, there was a golden seal.
The seal was extremely secure, and despite Lu Xuanji’s attempts to open it with a few strikes, he couldn’t succeed.
After taking out the Golden Crow Order, he transformed it into a golden light that merged into the treasure chest, which then made a crisp sound.
Crack! Crack!
A moment later, the treasure chest opened.
Inside the treasure chest, there was a block of white-gold metal, roughly half a cubic meter. The white metal shimmered brilliantly, with a faint immortal aura seeping out.
"Celestial Destiny Immortal Gold!"
Looking at the white metal, Lu Xuanji’s eyes flashed with excitement and thrill.
Celestial Destiny Immortal Gold is a top-grade immortal gold and can be used to forge immortal artifacts.
Of course, at present, Lu Xuanji’s cultivation was limited, and even with the Celestial Destiny Immortal Gold, he couldn’t forge immortal artifacts, but it could replace many materials and enhance the grade of a magical treasure.
The forging and upgrading of a magical treasure are quite challenging and require materials that need constant upgrading, with more high-grade materials used as replacements.
However, with the existence of Celestial Destiny Immortal Gold, he no longer needed to painstakingly search for various materials, as it could be continuously refined until reaching the realm of immortal artifacts.
Shwoosh!
In the next moment, Lu Xuanji reached out to grab it.
It felt as if he was holding onto a great mountain, slightly feeling the weight.
He took a deep breath, grabbed it, and tossed it into the Grotto World Pearl.
Buzzing sound!
At this moment, the Golden Crow Order once again fell onto his palm, from which came a terrifying force.
Transformed into teleportation power, the next moment, Lu Xuanji vanished.
...
On the other side of the Fusang Tree, a Golden Crow Great Demon opened a chest to find a golden fruit inside.
Red runes adorned it, burning with golden flames.
"This is a Sun Fruit!"
The Golden Crow Great Demon said joyfully, before being teleported away.
Elsewhere, other cultivators acquired treasures and were likewise teleported away.
...
Reopening his eyes, he was already in the outside world.
At that time, he had already left the Golden Crow Cave Mansion.
In the Golden Crow Cave Mansion, obtaining half a cubic meter of Celestial Destiny Immortal Gold was indeed a significant haul.
Lu Xuanji looked around, finding himself transmitted to the ocean, with turquoise waves undulating around him and seabirds flying in the sky. No islands were in sight.
Unlocking the [Baidu Map], he confirmed his location.
Only to find that he had left the Eastern Wilderness and was randomly teleported into the Storm Sea.
In the Purple Mansion Realm, there is mention of the topography here, the Five Seas, and the Seven Continents.
The Five Seas are the Storm Sea, Chaotic Sea, Sea of the Abyss, and Sea of Death.
The Seven Continents are the Yuan Continent, Ancestral Continent, Barbaric Continent, Desolate Continent, Demon Continent, Insect Continent, and Beihan Continent.
Chu Country, located in the Eastern Wilderness, is a small nation on the Yuan Continent.
Currently, he is at a great distance from Chu Country.
If he were to traverse the sky without rest, it would take three thousand years of flying to return to Chu Country.
"To return to Chu Country, a teleportation array is necessary!" Lu Xuanji pondered, "If using a teleportation array, it would take at most ten years to return to Chu Country! The teleportation from the Golden Crow Cave Mansion sent me too far, straight into the Storm Sea, it’s just too distant!"
Reflecting on it all, Lu Xuanji felt a deep sense of malice.
With quick steps, Lu Xuanji traversed the sky, heading towards a specific direction.
After ten days of continuous flying over the ocean, it remained an endless sea, with only a few reefs occasionally appearing.
Continuing his flight, he encountered some demon beasts in the sea, most of which were of not high realm, some merely Golden Core, and most of Purple Mansion cultivation.
Suddenly, as Lu Xuanji felt an aura approaching from the front, he couldn’t help but become completely alert.
The approaching figure was a human race cultivator, with an aura strong as the sea, emitting a trace of destructive power. Upon closer inspection, the face seemed familiar, belonging to none other than the Earth Celestial Venerable.
"Greetings, Celestial Venerable!"
Lu Xuanji said with cupped hands, but his caution intensified.
"So it’s Xuanji True Monarch!" the Earth Celestial Venerable said, "This must be considered a meeting of old acquaintances in a foreign land, a deep friendship indeed. As a senior, I should enlighten you a bit. But... was it you who killed my son, Divine Wind True Monarch?"
"It was!"
Lu Xuanji said helplessly, "At that time, it was he who attacked first..."
In that incident, it was Divine Wind True Monarch who first attacked him, attempting murder and treasure robbery, but ended up being counter-killed.
In that episode, he stood on the side of reason.
But just as he said half of it, he saw the cold expression of the Earth Celestial Venerable, whose body surged with magical power, gesturing and releasing a palm strike. Magical power condensed in the void, quickly enlarging, transforming into a massive palm to engulf everything and slam down.
The palm morphed like a giant peak.
The palm changed, gathering the power of thick earth, making a slight noise in the void with an explosive sound in the air, transforming into a ten-mile radius, a dark mass, pressing forcefully below.
Explanations were unnecessary; all explanations were excuses, and arguments were mere sophistry.
No matter the reasoning, in the end, he did kill Divine Wind True Monarch.
As for the rationale... haha.
The fist dictates right, the sword dictates reason.
The Earth Celestial Venerable chose to support reason, not kin.
In the past, due to Qinglian True Monarch’s influence, it was inconvenient to "bully the weak," but here in the desolation, it was the perfect place to enact revenge.
"Shwoosh!"
At this moment, Lu Xuanji made his move, both hands wielding a long saber, cutting upwards, where Yin Yang Qi converged, Five Elements Power circulated, Power of the Stars condensed, Elemental Magnetic Power gathered, Power of Space-Time and Power of Extinction coalesced, forming a Nine-Colored Divine Saber.
This Nine-Colored Divine Saber initially was only one and a half meters.
But as magical power was infused, the Nine-Colored Divine Saber grew larger and longer, turning into a ten-meter long saber.
Buzzing sound!
The void flickered, unleashing the destructive power.
It seemed that the power was too much, too violent, making it slightly difficult to control.
Bam!
The Nine-Colored Divine Saber cut upwards, slashing at the palm.
Just then, the palm was shattered on the spot.
"Oh, not bad, not bad! Even at just the seventh layer of Nascent Soul, you can unleash attacks comparable to Divinity Transformation, far beyond what I was capable of back then, and surpassing many Eastern Wilderness talents. What a pity, you’re destined to die!" The Earth Celestial Venerable experienced this saber, praising openly.
His words were full of appreciation and admiration.
But his actions were not slowed at all, as his hand changed, attacking again.
The killing moves remained fierce, still the killing moves of destruction.
Appreciation is appreciation, but the intent to kill remains the intent to kill.
Killing moves remained fierce!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Earth Celestial Venerable continuously unleashed three strikes, which Lu Xuanji barely withstood.
After three strikes, Lu Xuanji felt exhausted.
The gap was too vast.
He exhausted his magical power, fiercely fighting with three sabers.
After three strikes, Lu Xuanji felt himself running out of strength.
The gap is too large.
He drained his magical power, delivering one Divinity Transformation strike, but his opponent could throw out one such strike at any time, capable of repeating it hundreds of times without pausing for breath.
Kill!
With that, Lu Xuanji made his move, grasping the long saber in both hands, slicing upwards, where Yin Yang Qi converged, Power of the Five Elements rose, Power of the Stars intensified, Power of Space-Time surged, Power of Extinction coalesced, transforming into a Nine-Colored Divine Saber.
This Nine-Colored Divine Saber, at the start, was only one and a half meters.
As it expanded during the swing, it became a ten-meter-long saber.
Buzzz!
The void flickered with destructive forces radiating outward.
Crash!
The Nine-Colored Divine Saber slashed upward, cutting at the large hand.
In that instant, the enormous hand was struck.
"Your clone has fled!"
Earth Celestial Venerable frowned, "You can’t escape!"
With those words, Lu Xuanji disappeared without a trace.
"You can’t escape!"
