400: Relieved

“Alas!”

“If not for my insufficient cultivation, which prevents me from fully utilizing the effects of so many precious Spiritual Materials, the power of this set of Magic Treasures would be even greater.”

After his moment of pride, the Elder sighed deeply.

“Fellow Daoist Zhang, there’s no need to be modest. It’s already excellent to obtain this treasure; there’s no need to force anything.”

Zhou Leren, however, was quite satisfied.

To go a step further and refine a true fifth order divine weapon.

It wouldn't be this simple.

Unless it was personally refined by a Venerable, nurtured with their own Magical Power and Qi, giving birth to a Tool Spirit.

Or like the Jiang Family, using evil methods like blood sacrifice, spending countless years to obtain an Evil Spirit.

In the past, when the Old Ancestor handed him the Dragon Emperor’s corpse.

He sought out the Golden Artifact Pavilion in the Azure Moon Domain and gave all the precious Materials and most of the Dragon Emperor’s remains to this Grand Elder surnamed Zhang.

To be refined into Magic Treasures.

Seeing the results today, it had already exceeded his expectations.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou, although this set of Magic Treasures has not yet given birth to a Tool Spirit, its spirituality is extremely high. If it is continuously offered and nurtured, there is still a chance for it to reach a higher level.”

“However, precisely because of its spirituality, this set of Magic Treasures is not easy to subdue.”

The Grand Elder of the Golden Artifact Pavilion paused, then added.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized he had worried too much.

The Dragon Emperor was not an opponent in life, let alone now.

For the Zhou Family, they probably wished for the spirituality to be as strong as possible.

“Heh heh, thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhang, for the reminder.”

Zhou Leren nodded.

He thanked him sincerely.

“Fellow Daoist, please come in and allow me to entertain you.”

“In that case, I shall not decline.”

The spirit boat, adorned with two flags, flew into the clouds.

As the spirit boat gradually approached Qingyang Peak.

On the spirit boat.

The sculpture composed of five Magic Treasures subtly began to stir.

Waves of fierce and violent Qi permeated the armor.

The Elder surnamed Zhang’s expression was somewhat solemn.

This was the stress response of Magic Treasures with inherent spirituality.

Even he had no good solution.

He could only stand ready, waiting for the armor to calm down on its own.

If it didn't, he would have to forcibly apply a Seal.

Zhou Leren’s entire Magical Power also slowly rose, and he quietly watched the set of Magic Treasures, a zhang tall, ready to act.

At this moment.

At the bottom of Cangyuan River.

The gigantic beast, whose body had spread out, seemed to stir.

An invisible gaze pierced through space and landed on the spirit boat.

“Old Ancestor!”

Zhou Leren sensed it and bowed in salute.

“Greetings, Xuan Zun!”

The Elder surnamed Zhang and the Cultivators from the Golden Artifact Pavilion on the spirit boat saw Zhou Leren’s actions.

Their expressions solemn, they bowed down.

The invisible gaze fell on the five Magic Treasures, a zhang tall.

In just an instant, the fierce and domineering Qi they emitted vanished.

Only the crown, armor, bracelet, halberd, and boots stood quietly.

Everything just now seemed like an illusion.

The invisible gaze seemed to casually glance, then disappeared.

The Elder surnamed Zhang felt a release in his heart; the overwhelming pressure, like the sky collapsing, dissipated in an instant.

Even so, it still made his heart pound uncontrollably.

“Does Xuan Zun have any instructions?”

After a short while.

Seeing that the dragon emperor set remained motionless.

The Elder surnamed Zhang then softly asked Zhou Leren.

“The Old Ancestor was probably drawn by this set of Magic Treasures and just took a look.”

“Other than that, there are no other instructions.”

Zhou Leren gently shook his head.

Elder surnamed Zhang’s heart completely relaxed.

The spirit boat continued to advance.

The Magic Treasures no longer showed any unusual movements... Qingyang Peak.

Inside the multi-story pavilion with the words “Artifact Pavilion” hanging on it.

On the fifth floor.

A humanoid sculpture, a zhang tall, formed by five Magic Treasures, stood quietly.

In front of the sculpture.

A rather young figure sat cross-legged.

After a long time.

Zhou Leren opened his eyes and stood up.

With a thought.

His body rose from the ground.

Clang!

It was as if Dragon scales exploded.

The silently standing humanoid sculpture, a zhang tall, dispersed.

A cyan crown landed on the young figure’s head.

Armor, a zhang tall, came from behind, enveloping the young figure.

Cyan boots, imprinted with Dragon patterns, came from bottom to top.

The young figure reached out.

On his left wrist, a precious bracelet appeared.

In his right hand.

A cyan halberd, covered in Dragon scales, fell into his right hand, which was covered by armor.

Boom!

The cyan-armored figure gently clenched his right hand.

His body floated to the ground.

A powerful and domineering Qi emanated from this cyan-armored figure, a zhang tall.

“So strong!”

Inside the armor, Zhou Leren’s eyes glowed.

He casually wielded the cyan halberd, and sounds of tearing air echoed.

Buzz~

In the Artifact Pavilion, streaks of light appeared.

The Formation of the Artifact Pavilion was triggered, all activated.

“Unleash!”

Zhou Leren quietly experienced it for a moment.

Feeling the rapidly depleting Magical Power within his body.

With a thought, he removed the armor.

The cyan Magic Treasures left, returning to their original positions.

“Not bad.”

Zhou Leren looked at this set of top-grade Magic Treasures, refined from the Dragon Emperor’s corpse, and was satisfied.

“However, currently, perhaps only I in the Clan can temporarily wield it.”

Zhou Leren watched for a moment, then shook his head.

The other Zhou Family Cultivators, even if they could communicate with this set of Magic Treasures, would be unable to use it in battle.

The moment the armor was donned, their Magical Power would likely be drained.

Imprinting his own mark.

Zhou Leren did not stay long and turned to leave.

This set of Magic Treasures, after all, was refined primarily from the Soul Transformation Middle Stage Dragon Emperor.

It inherently possessed fifth-order characteristics.

After imprinting his mark.

If within sensing range, it could be summoned to pass through the Void Realm.

No need to carry it around... Time flowed on.

Three years later.

On Qingyang Peak, an Immortal Cave that had been sealed for a long time suddenly opened.

Inside the Immortal Cave.

A figure, somewhat resembling Zhou Leren, sat cross-legged.

A Golden Core aura emanated from the cross-legged figure.

After three years of secluded cultivation.

Zhou Leyi emerged from his seclusion.

He formed his Golden Core.

Honored as Immortal Master Changyi.

In the same year.

On Qingyu Peak of the Tianning Peaks.

A young figure, whose body was a blend of golden and black colors, sat cross-legged, his aura surging.

In mid-air.

A solidified Nascent Soul nodded occasionally.

Beside the young figure.

A cold woman with a long sword hanging at her waist watched quietly.

Before long.

The golden and black colors of the cross-legged young figure receded into his body.

“Late Foundation Establishment Stage…”

Zhou Xiangyu opened his eyes and stood up.

He exchanged a smile with the cold woman whose waist bore a long sword inscribed with the words “fu ling”...

Below Qingyang Peak.

By the Cangyuan River.

Two figures stood side by side.

The person on the left was tall and slender, dressed in a cyan robe, with an extraordinary demeanor, his sleeves fluttering.

On the right was a charming woman in a pink long dress.

Hu Xiaohe looked at the constantly flowing Cangyuan River before her.

Her thoughts drifted.

She didn't know when.

Her purpose for visiting the Zhou Family had changed.

It was no longer just because of Chao Xiaoyi, who had become her friend.

Instead, it was more because of that gentle and jade-like slender figure.

Hu Xiaohe’s heart pounded.

Suddenly, gritting her teeth, she remembered what her Clan sisters had taught her.

Her left arm moved slightly, and her delicate, smooth small hand reached out.

Quietly touching a warm spot.

“Xiaohe, I…”

At this moment, the slender figure with the extraordinary demeanor suddenly turned his head, wanting to say something.

“Wh-what?”

Hu Xiaohe was startled, and her hand immediately retracted in fright.

But it didn't succeed.

Zhou Nanchu moved like lightning, grasping the escaping small hand in his palm.

“Nothing.”

Zhou Nanchu tightened his grip slightly, a faint smile on his lips.

“Is that so…”

Hu Xiaohe’s voice was like a mosquito’s, only audible to herself, her small face blushing.

In the distance.

Someone had tears in their eyes.

And a look of relief.

Zhou Nanyou silently shouted:

“Brother Chu, you really are something! You needed Sister Xiaohe to make the first move, how cowardly!”
