Zhou Liangchen explained with a smile, "Leaving these two pairs of eyes as they are wouldn’t be good; they would eventually lose all spiritual power and gradually decay. So, His Highness asked someone to forge them into a magic artifact, refined into one that only you can use, considered as the last legacy your mother left you.
However, I must clarify beforehand, the turtle shell left by your mother is already prepared by His Highness to be refined into fifty-seven defensive magic artifacts. These are life-saving items for his subordinates, and he will not return them to you."
These four artifacts named ’Mystic Nether Eyes’ are indeed quite simple, mainly focusing on anti-corrosion solidification, invoking the heavenly rules, and divine power within them.
Only because Little Xuanwu shares a bloodline with its mother, can it control them adeptly.
These four eyes, too, can only yield the greatest benefits when used on Little Xuanwu.
Little Xuanwu then shook its head vigorously.
To its immense surprise, it picked up the four ’Mystic Nether Eyes’ lying on the ground in its mouth.
Little Xuanwu wasn’t particularly concerned about its mother’s turtle shell.
Before this, Little Xuanwu had molted several times and would have to molt several more times until its body stabilized.
Zhou Liangchen’s expression, however, gradually turned solemn and intense, "Gui Lingshou, I ask you, do you resent His Highness for your mother’s death?"
Upon hearing these words, Little Xuanwu’s body stiffened slightly, and then it shook its head.
It then let out an ’ahh’ cry.
Zhou Liangchen felt a relief in his heart.
He was in tune with Little Xuanwu’s intentions, and although they hadn’t the ability for divine thoughts communication yet, he could vaguely perceive Little Xuanwu’s sentiments.
But human hearts can change. Since Little Xuanwu has spirit communication intelligence and wisdom comparable to humans, it was still necessary to make things clear.
"Gui Gui, although your mother died by the hands of those Candle Dragons, the main reason was His Highness’ scheme. However, at that time, your mother had frozen the Wood Sword Immortal with her sword move, and His Highness needed to study its true intent, so eliminating it was unavoidable. They were mortal enemies, and there really isn’t a question of right and wrong.
His Highness was not wrong and need not grieve about this, but since he has kept you close by his side, he must consider your feelings."
Zhou Liangchen’s expression grew incredibly serious, "He asked me to tell you, Gui Gui, if you resent him for your mother’s death, he won’t mind. If one day, Gui Gui, you change your mind and wish to seek revenge on him, then I will dissolve the coexistence spirit contract with you and let you go—"
Upon hearing this, Little Xuanwu shook its head vigorously.
It indeed had an emotional scar regarding its mother’s death, but to say it resented would be an exaggeration.
With its spirit communication intelligence, it knew that without Chu Xisheng’s help or Zhou Liangchen’s yang essence blood, it would never have been born. f r\eew,eb novel.c(o)(m)
Moreover, among its species, the law of survival of the fittest reigned with hunting each other for survival, leaving no room for resentment.
Its mother went out hunting every year, freezing to death countless creatures in the secret realms of the north. If one were to speak of innocence, those creatures were also innocent.
Although Little Xuanwu had been with Chu Xisheng and Zhou Liangchen since its birth, it retained these instincts that enabled its survival in its bloodline memory.
Zhou Liangchen laughed dryly, "You not wanting to leave is for the best, but the future is uncertain for anyone. If that day does come, I hope we can part on good terms. However, there’s one condition, while you’re with us, you must be sincere and honest. You must not harbour any double-dealing or sinister plans in the background. Otherwise—"
Zhou Liangchen pressed his hand on the newly forged heavy sword at his waist and looked coldly into Little Xuanwu’s eyes, "Do not blame me for disregarding our affection, I will go all out to settle this grievance with you."
Seeing his stance, Little Xuanwu was startled, tears beginning to well up in its eyes again.
It had already said no, it really didn’t hate its master’s master.
His master was clearly bullying a turtle—
At this time, in the main hall of Sky Wave Residence, Chu Xisheng contentedly stored away the pair of ’Golden Jade Marriage Sabers’.
The craftsmanship of Li Tiangong was indeed formidable, worthy of his reputation as the ’Strange Blade Demon Craftsman’.
These sabers weren’t just upgraded, they seemed to have been reforged entirely.
Li Tiangong had not only perfectly integrated the three Fourth Grade ’Candle Dragon’s Horns’ into the two sabers and the scabbard ’Golden Shackles and Jade Locks’, but he also replaced the main material inside the Golden Jade Marriage Sabers with the ’Time Origin Mysterious Gold’ and ’Divine Order Taiyin Essence Gold’ collected by Chu Xisheng, significantly enhancing the quality of the blade.
The original ’Jade Ruler Gold Standard Blade’ had now changed to a keratin blade, increasing the Sword Speed substantially, and the blade had become more durable and tougher, no longer breaking on a single strike.
The Wind and Thunder Power of the Golden Jade Marriage Sabers had been enhanced to the extreme, now able to increase the power of Chu Xisheng’s Bloodline Ability ’Hand of Wind and Lightning Control’ by two tiers.
Besides, the two sabers now also possessed Temporal Power, able to increase the duration Chu Xisheng could maintain ’Timeless Moment’ up to one hundred breaths.
Furthermore, they could extend the upper limit of the ’Eternal Existence’ originating from the Blood of Ten Thousand Ages to twenty hours.
That meant his physical status could now be restored to how it had been twenty hours ago.
An even more astonishing discovery was the scabbard ’Golden Shackles and Jade Locks’, which had also obtained an almost ’Eternal’ Divine Skill. It could consume a great amount of True Yuan to revert the two sabers back to the status they were in one hour ago.
Chu Xisheng put away the sabers and verbally encouraged Li Tiangong, then had Chu Yunyun arrange a residence for him before he proceeded to walk towards the Execution God Temple.
Upon seeing this, Chu Yunyun frowned slightly, her expression somewhat unexpected, and her voice somewhat cold, "Big brother, don’t go today. The progress of your ’Three Phases Heavenly Slaughter Blade’ is already very fast; stopping for a day won’t matter."
Chu Xisheng looked the way he did because he had been training with the saber in the Execution God Temple.
His master was really too anxious, continuously increasing the stakes and squeezing out Chu Xisheng’s potential.
A saber that would normally take over two months to forge had been compacted by the master to just forty-three days.
Chu Xisheng then responded with a wry smile, pondering how could he dare not go?
Although Su Fengdao was rather kind to him, that was after all the once World’s Eighth ’World Sealing Saber’.
One should feel fortunate that such a person was willing to teach, and Su Fengdao had even employed the ’Ti Hu Divine Enlightenment’ on him?
This was his blessing; how could Chu Xisheng possibly complain or neglect it?
Besides, he himself enjoyed it immensely, looking forward to it every day.
Every bit of Sword Intent imparted by Su Fengdao could grow his Sword Skill.
"Besides, it’s only a matter of a few days; I can hold on."
Chu Xisheng looked towards the character panel in his field of vision.
In the Martial Arts section, a new line had appeared: ’Three Phases Heavenly Slaughter Blade (Eleventh Layer)’, and his original Three Phases Martial Intent had also evolved into ’Heaven Punishment Martial Intent (Eleventh Layer)’.
Chu Xisheng estimated that in just two days, he would be able to push it to the Twelfth Layer and master the few secret Extreme Moves passed down by Su Fengdao.
"I must go today. The master has accepted another disciple, a junior sister, I wonder who it could be?"
When Chu Yunyun heard this, she was stunned.
In the Formless Divine Sect, another individual capable of cultivating ’Heaven Slaying Blade’ had emerged as a Super Heavenly Pillar?
Chu Yunyun soon realized, guessing who this person was.
This could be very interesting—
