Aunt, please don't chase me. I don't want to be the emperor.

Every time Ji Xian saw this star map array, her incredible perception could sense a special power.

Following this force, mobilizing spiritual power to enhance perception, Ji Xian was able to see the stars.

Through the star map array, you can see the real vast galaxy!

This star map formation was originally used by diviners during the Shang and Qi dynasties to peer into the stars and predict events from the past and present. However, the Shang emperor, Emperor Zhou, was a tyrant and incompetent ruler. During that turbulent time, he even commissioned the construction of this imperial palace and tomb at great expense, and constructed the incomparably precious star map formation to cover the entire area.

The Star Map Corridor is the road to immortality, the underground palace is the immortal palace, and the star map array is the immortal world. It is hoped that after death one will receive the power of countless stars, attain enlightenment and ascend to the realm of true immortality.

Unfortunately, his actions ultimately did not lead to his enlightenment, but instead led to the destruction of the Shang Dynasty.

However, the star map array in the Emperor's Immortal Palace Tomb he built was genuine. If a cultivator skilled in divination were to come here, they would probably be able to use this star map array to calculate the secrets of the universe.

Ji Xian doesn't know the art of divination, but he can see thousands of stars through the star map array!

At this moment, Ji Xian's bright red eyes were twinkling with stars, as if countless stars were reflected in them. His face was filled with smiles, as if he would never get tired of looking at such a scenery.

Just as Ji Xian was immersed in the myriad stars, Gongshu Zhi's voice came from behind her: "Your Majesty."

Ji Xian looked over and saw Gongshu Zhi had already arrived in the square. He bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I have extracted the essence of all the divine weapons from the Sunken Weapon Pool and can begin forging weapons at any time. What kind of weapon would Your Majesty like?"

"of course....."

Ji Xian stopped talking suddenly in the middle of her words.

He was about to mention a sword, but suddenly thought of something else, and then used his hands to describe it to Gongshu Zhi: "I wonder if the Valley Master could forge me a more special weapon. Look, like this, it should look like both a bow and a sword."

What Ji Xian was talking about was Cheng Ying's Feiying sword and bow.

Although the weapon looked strange, Ji Xian was very interested in this kind of thing and wanted a similar weapon. Now that she was about to forge a new weapon, she decided to give it a try.

But Gongshu Zhi couldn't understand such a strange-looking weapon just by Ji Xian's gestures.

Gongshu Zhi said with a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you said..."

"Then I'll draw it for you."

So Ji Xian took out paper and pen and personally drew the shape of the weapon for Gongshu Zhi.

After the drawing was finished, Gongshu Zhi took a look at it and thought the weapon's shape was truly bizarre. It looked like the hilts of two swords joined together, with the hilts curved to resemble a bow.

Gongshu Zhi then asked, "Your Majesty, do you want a weapon that can change its shape?"

There are weapons in this world that can change their shapes, such as Lie Que Shuai's Divine Sword and her apprentice, Ji Xian's mother Tang Lin's Divine Sword, both of which are peerless magical weapons that can change into thousands of shapes.

There is also the Thunder God Fan of the National Master Zhang Mengxuan, which also has many different combat forms.

Gongshu Zhi thought that Ji Xian wanted to emulate these three people, which was why she wanted to forge such a magical weapon.

Ji Xian didn't think too much about it, but when she heard Gongshu Zhi say this, she immediately smiled: "A weapon that can change shape, great, great! I'm used to using two swords, and it would be great if it can also change into a bow."

"Dual swords, bow, transformation..." Gongshu Zhi stroked his chin as he pondered the weapons Ji Xian wanted. After a moment, he bowed to Ji Xian and said, "I understand. I will not let Your Majesty down."

2.61 The Emperor's weapons are reborn

In the past few days, Su Luoxue searched the Jiangdu area thoroughly, then found the Modu area, and finally locked on the Yaowang Valley which had been blocked by the garrison.

Because Su Luoxue had no clear clues, she could only choose the places she had visited first.

If Ji Xian really wanted to stay in Yangzhou and not go to Shenbing Valley, it was not impossible for him to run back.

When she found the new garrison commander of Medicine King Valley and asked him about recent conditions, she was told that nothing unusual had occurred. However, when Su Luoxue inquired about the status of the Sky Fox Guards in the Sword Tomb's underground palace, the garrison commander said something that surprised her.

"The Sky Fox Guard's secret guards? I'm not sure about that."

"What do you mean?"

"The Secret Guards said they made a major discovery underground and will not be contacting the surface for the foreseeable future. They also told us not to come down rashly, or we would be unable to afford to destroy the star formation."

“…”

Hearing the new garrison officer say this, Su Luoxue suddenly felt strange and sensed something was wrong.

So Su Luoxue asked again: "How long ago did this happen?"

"About five days ago."

"Are you sure it was the Sky Fox Guard who said this?"

"Sure, he's wearing the uniform of the Sky Fox Guard, but he's not the captain we've been dealing with. We haven't seen him before, and he said he's new."

“…Then I understand.”

After saying this, Su Luoxue walked towards the statue of Tianxue Ji, preparing to enter the underground palace.

Ji Xian is hiding in the underground palace of the sword tomb, it’s almost certain!

At the same time, in the underground palace...

In the underground palace that resembled a starry wonderland, a dazzling red light was now blazing. Everything in the valley was illuminated by it, as if the night's starry sea had finally welcomed the dawn sun.

This ray of scorching sun light originates from the underground palace square and from the Qilin jade fire surrounding the Qingyun Ding!

At this moment, the blue-white Qingyun giant cauldron was burned red inside and out by the Qilin Jade Fire, like a huge fireball. It was as if it had truly become a sun falling to the ground in this small fairyland.

Gongshu Zhi was using his spiritual power and magic to control the fire, forging tools in the alchemy furnace, and was almost done.

Gongshu Zhi was, after all, the master of the Divine Weapon Valley, a supreme weapon cultivator who had practiced weapon for thousands of years. While he was the worst in the Yangshen world when it came to fighting, he was confident that he could rival anyone in the world when it came to weapon forging.

Even without professional refining equipment, no one to help him, and even the main tool for casting was still the alchemy furnace, Gongshu Zhi was still able to refine magical weapons!

At this time, his face was covered in sweat, and he had been controlling the fire for two days and two nights without eating, drinking or sleeping. He had been staring at the Qingyun Ding, using his spiritual sense to spy on everything in the Ding, and controlling the casting and refining of those natural treasures.

He should have looked exhausted and weak, but on his face was an excited smile that could not be concealed at all.

Because it’s almost done, the magic weapon is about to be completed!

Over the past thousand years, the Sky Fox Commander Kong Mingliang, the Fierce Sparrow Commander Ling Qianfan, the Great Military Advisor Pang Yuanchu, and the Poet and Sword Fairy Taibai have successively forged peerless magical weapons that are famous throughout the world, overshadowing Gongshu Zhi at one point.

Gongshu Zhi was not a person who pursued fame and fortune. His obsession with casting tools surpassed everything else.

He just didn't want to accept it.

In terms of weapon craftsmanship, Gongshu Zhi was as good as any of the four, but the weapons he forged ultimately fell short of theirs. It's easy to imagine how much of a blow this was to Gongshu Zhi.

But Gongshu Zhi did not give up. For hundreds of years, he has been studying new weapon-making techniques, trying to forge the strongest weapons with the least materials. There has been some progress, but it is still unknown how long it will take to truly succeed.

Gongshu Zhi saw hope, so he continued to move forward and work hard on this path of hope.

But now, he no longer needs this path, because Ji Xian has handed over all the treasures in the Sword Immortal's Sword Tomb to him. You know, there are hundreds of magical weapons!

Moreover, this time, in order to forge the peerless magic weapon, he even used the heart of the withered spiritual tree in the underground palace to ensure that the weapon was spiritually powerful enough!

Hundreds of divine weapons, enough to equip hundreds of masters, all melted down and forged into a single weapon was truly an extreme luxury. But wasn't the Galaxy Sword forged under such a luxurious background? The same could be said of Zhang Mengxuan's Thunder God Fan and Kong Mingliang's Fire Sparrow Fan.

Ji Xian put the opportunity to compete with them on the same platform in front of Gongshu Zhi, how could Gongshu Zhi miss it.

Ji Xian was sitting in a corner of the square, staring intently at the alchemy furnace. He was simultaneously mobilizing his spiritual energy, his pupils flashing blue. He was using his spiritual sense to observe the furnace's conditions, a minor technique Gongshu Zhi had temporarily taught him.

Although Ji Xian's learning was mediocre, he was able to see the situation in the furnace with his excellent perception.

Inside the alchemy furnace, the Heavenly Blood Princess and the Death Sword weren't dissolved into liquid silver like the other divine weapons. Instead, they were blasted into fragments by the Qilin Jade Fire, then intertwined and reassembled. Meanwhile, the liquid silver from the other divine weapons also merged with the fragments, transforming the Heavenly Blood Princess and the Death Sword into new weapons, their forms dramatically altered, as if they had been reborn.

This wasn't just a simple change of appearance. Ji Xian could sense that the new weapon's internal structure was perfectly organized, with its various parts interacting and connecting with each other, just like the five elements constantly generating each other, an endless cycle of life!

......

After a while, Ji Xian could "see" that the two swords in the furnace that had been reborn had completely changed their shape. The hilts seemed to be bent, and the tail handles were spliced ​​together. Judging from the appearance alone, it had turned into a bow!

To be done!

Although Ji Xian didn't know how to refine weapons, he could feel it.

"Haha, haha." Gongshu Zhi laughed with sweat dripping down his face. His body was shaking not because of weakness, but because of excitement, uncontrollable excitement: "Finally, it worked... Hey, hahahahaha!!!!"

With a loud shout from Gongshu Zhi, he swung his arms vigorously, and the Qilin Jade Fire inside and outside the Qingyun Ding completely erupted.

This huge and nearly indestructible Qingyun Ding exploded with a "bang" at this moment, and the blazing fire turned into a sea of ​​fire that spread wildly in all directions, as if it wanted to devour everything around it.

Ji Xian's face changed immediately and she retreated immediately to avoid the sea of ​​fire.

However, Gongshu Zhi rushed into the sea of ​​fire, excitedly stretched out his hand towards the flames, and took out the weapon that was completed in the flames in an instant.

When Gongshu Zhi took out the still burning weapon, he swung it gently. The sword energy stirred up a strong wind, and instantly extinguished all the Qilin fires around it, as if it happened in the blink of an eye.

Ji Xian's eyes were now fixed on Gongshu Zhi's hand.

It wasn't that Ji Xian was worried about whether this guy's hands would be burned. After all, his Yang Shen's protective energy wasn't that fragile. Ji Xian's gaze was fixed on the weapon in his hand.

It was a strangely shaped weapon, resembling a bow and a sword, as if two swords had been joined together. It was pure white, with a bright red pattern carved into it.

The longbow formed by the two swords has diamond-shaped gems engraved on the hilts, one red and one blue.

The red gem burst with passionate spiritual power fluctuations, which made people feel hot and eager to fight. Ji Xian could clearly feel that it was the power of Tianxue Ji, and it was dozens of times stronger than before!

The spiritual power fluctuations on the other blue gem are full of powerful and pure vitality, like endless vitality, as if looking at it a few more times will make you feel at ease and calm. It is completely different from the passionate and hot-blooded spiritual power fluctuations of Tianxue Ji, and it does not feel like that of the Undead Sword.

But Ji Xian, who had been "watching" from beginning to end, knew it clearly. The weapon was the reborn Tianxueji and the Death Sword!

2.62 His Majesty the Emperor's new weapon is called Sheng Hui Ji

"Is this... a peerless divine weapon that's as good as the Galaxy Sword?"

Ji Xian stared at the sword and bow in Gongshu Zhi's hands and asked a question even though she knew the answer.

Ji Xian had seen the Galaxy Sword, wielded by the poetic swordsman Taibai, because it was currently in the hands of his father. Furthermore, when Ji Xian was very young, he once wanted to play with the Galaxy Sword, and Emperor Xingzong gave it to him.

Although she was still very young at that time, Ji Xian was gifted and still remembered the feeling when she held the Galaxy Sword in her hand.

Compared with all other weapons Ji Xian has seen, it is undoubtedly the best weapon in the world!

Although Ji Xian had not touched the sword and bow in front of her, just by looking at it with her eyes and feeling it with her heart, Ji Xian could already feel the power emanating from the sword, the pure and powerful spiritual energy fluctuations and life force.

To be honest, Ji Xian had only seen two such powerful weapons.

One is his father’s Galaxy Sword, and the other is Luoxue’s Xutian Sword!

Because of this, Ji Xian could understand that Gongshu Zhi had truly done it. He repaired and recast the damaged Heavenly Blood Sword and the Dead Spirit Sword using nearly a thousand other divine weapons, ultimately creating a peerless divine weapon!

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gongshu Zhi was very excited and came to Ji Xian with weapons in both hands: "Your Majesty, please take the sword!"

Ji Xian reached out and took the sword and bow, then asked Gongshu Zhi, "Valley Master, does this weapon have a name?"

"Your Majesty, please give me a name."

Obviously, Gongshu Zhi did not have a name.

Although Gongshu Zhi was very excited and happy, he did not dare to name the weapon casually. After all, if he chose a bad name and failed to please His Majesty, it would be a thankless task.

Ji Xian didn't say anything. She nodded and looked at the white sword and bow in her hand and said, "In that case, let's call her Shenghuiji!"

Ji Xian has already chosen a name for this weapon.

"Shenghui...I wonder what the meaning of this name Your Majesty gave?"

"No, it sounds nice."

"Well, as long as Your Majesty is happy."

But in fact, this name has a meaning, but Ji Xian is too lazy to say it.

The Northern Desert Assassin Nininuo earned the nickname "Heavenly Blood Princess" because, during the Eight Kingdoms Rebellion, every time she entered the battlefield, no matter what she wore, she would eventually wear red, stained by the blood of her enemies. Her heroic presence, while drinking amidst corpses, captivated the people of the Northern Desert, earning her the name "Heavenly Blood Princess."

The feeling this sword and bow gave Ji Xian was....like the sun, shining brightly, warming and exciting. But it was also like the vibrant forest, calming and refreshing.

The two completely different fluctuations blended together without any sense of incongruity, as if a living person was standing beside him, as if Tianxue Ji was reborn.

When the Empress Dowager was alive, she probably gave people the same feeling...

For this reason, Ji Xian named this weapon Shenghuiji, which means Tianxueji who was reborn and as holy and shining as the sun.

Ji Xian channeled his spiritual energy into Sheng Hui Ji, hoping the weapon would recognize him as its master and allow him to control it. Miraculously, the weapon's recognition of its master occurred in the blink of an eye. Ji Xian's spiritual energy flowed freely within Sheng Hui Ji, without a trace of discomfort or incongruity, not even the slightest sense of unfamiliarity with the new weapon. It felt as if it had become a part of his body.

It can be said that among all the weapons Ji Xian has encountered, none can compare to the magic of Shenghui Ji.

At the moment of recognition, Ji Xian grasped the bow with both hands, mobilized her spiritual power, and separated the bow from top to bottom. The separated bows immediately transformed into twin swords. Holding them in her hands, she felt no discomfort at all. Although they had become so powerful, they still felt like the familiar two swords.

"I really want to find someone to fight with and test the power of this weapon."

After Ji Xian said this, her gaze drifted towards Gongshu Zhi who was standing beside her.
