"......"
A brief sentence broke the woman's defenses, and she retorted coldly, "If it weren't for the internal strife within my clan, those bastards wouldn't have had a chance at all!"
"Our clan has been passed down for more than 20,000 years, and we have crushed countless forces. There were once five major forces that dominated the wilderness, but in the end, we destroyed two of them, leaving only Taiyi Ancient Mansion and Void Sword Sect."
"As long as my race lives, we will suppress these humans so that they will never be able to raise their heads again! We will suppress them so that they will live a miserable existence!"
"Although I don't know which faction you come from, since you know my identity and haven't made a move, you must have no connection with the three major forces outside Tianyuan. So why don't you cooperate with me?"
"Do you think you can hide the scent of time that lingers on you?"
"Oh, you know quite a lot."
Jiang Mo looked down at the ancient being before him. The creature was truly extraordinary; it had actually seen through his possession of the Book of Time at a glance? Could it be...?
"Heh, I have the memories of every Dao Lord and Master who has traded with the Divine Forging Sect. Do you think I know a lot?"
The woman, who had taken the form of celestial fire, searched through the chaotic sea of memories, finally finding a possible trace in a forgotten corner. Then, in front of Jiang Mo, she tentatively asked:
"Right? Sanichi... Master?"
"it is good."
I'll give you time.
Jiang Mo did not deny his identity. Instead, he turned around, looked at the two innate magical artifacts still being forged in the sky, and murmured:
"You have plenty of time to convince me before my magical artifact is fully refined. Of course, I advise you not to try to scheme against me; I may know just as much as you do."
"Boom!!!"
As he uttered those words, colorful refining essence in the sky was dragged by Si Yue with one hand, like a supple and dancing spiritual river, slowly flowing over the surface of the Folding Immortal Sword, amplifying its sharpness.
"Crash!!!"
A dense burst of lightning and fire erupted, and one of the twenty-five dim weapon wheels hanging on Si Yue's back lit up directly, signifying successful tempering.
Meanwhile, Gai Yuan and Xu Yi were refining the even more difficult 'Human Desire Pendant'. With their combined efforts, they exhausted the foundation of their sect and successfully refined it to the second level in one go. The mysterious jade pendant turned completely black, radiating a power that bewitched people and confused their souls.
The process went relatively smoothly.
Jiang Mo silently observed the Heavenly Flame beside him and said:
"As you can see, my physical body is destroyed and my soul has dissipated. This flame is the continuation of my life after the Nirvana of my clan's divine power. I inherited the obsession before my death. It can be said that I am a life born from a corpse."
"I am both myself and I am not myself, but I possess all the memories of the ancient emperor's daughter."
"The entire secret realm where the Divine Forging Sect resides is formed from its corpse. Back then, it was traveling outside when it was targeted by powerful figures from the Void Sword Sect and the Taiyi Ancient Mansion. They intercepted it in the Cloud Sea Mountains, resulting in a great battle. At the cost of one death and one injury, it was defeated and hurriedly fled into the Heavenly Abyss."
"Tianyuan is extremely barren. The spiritual energy here is firmly occupied by the local cultivators, and it is almost completely drained. The ancient emperor's daughter had no time to recover, and her injuries worsened. The divine power of Taiyi Ancient Mansion was imprinted in her soul, imprisoning her for lifetimes, causing her to suffer from burning pain. Furthermore, the void sword intent pierced through her body, and finally she settled here."
"That year, the ancient emperor was in seclusion, trying to break through to a higher realm. On the verge of death, the imperial daughter guessed that the real culprit was not those two humans, but one of his brothers who had secretly recruited and instigated him."
"The era in which the Ancient Emperor lived was absolutely invincible, far stronger than the strongest in the Void Sword Sect and the Taiyi Ancient Mansion. Their Supreme Elders would never dare to assassinate the Ancient Emperor's only daughter."
"When the attack occurred, the Empress tried to ask her three brothers for help, but there was no response. At that time, one was stationed in the Evil Soul Sea and could not leave, one was missing and wandering around, and the other lived deep in the Imperial City."
"The real culprit should be the last one."
"It was too badly injured and activated its bloodline supernatural power, Nirvana, before it fell. Thus, I, who inherited all its memories, power, and emotions, was born. However, I am still locked by the Taiyi Ancient Formation, which constantly distracts my power, making it impossible for me to break free from this place."
"The ancient emperor doted on his children. Apart from the wandering imperial son, the other three all had great opportunities. The ancient emperor destroyed three colossal forces and sealed all their treasures in different dangerous places. Each of his three children had one, and when they were fully grown, they would go to retrieve them themselves. There was even a phantom of the ancient emperor inside. Any living being other than the three imperial sons and daughters of that time who went to take them would be blocked."
"And I am the Primordial Empress. I know the spatial and temporal address where the treasures are sealed! With your methods, if we join forces and obtain those treasures, we will surely soar to the heavens. At that time, how could the Void Sword Sect, the Sunset Royal Court, or the Great Ye Dynasty possibly stop us?"
"Also, if I'm not mistaken, the Sunset Royal Court you mentioned earlier has infiltrated the Heavenly Abyss. Apart from the three great innate magical artifacts that circulate here, I really don't know why they came here!"
"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. If you have historical records, you are destined to be targeted by outsiders. Are you going to let them slaughter you?"
"In another two or three hundred years, you will inevitably meet again. Can war be avoided?"
"Cooperating with me will be entirely beneficial to you. I can give you one-third of the resources of the destroyed force. There are also two or three magical treasures there that are similar to your two magic artifacts. I can also give you one of them."
"One day, you will only need to help me destroy the Void Sword Sect. I ask for nothing more. What do you say?"
"I need your help. My cultivation is not as strong as it was in life. If I try to break through the barrier with this crippled body, I will surely die. Moreover, I don't have much time left. Once the Void Sword Sect enters, they will investigate my whereabouts. When their powerful figures take action, I will never have a chance to recover."
As Jiang Tianhuo spoke, his expression grew increasingly anxious. Thousands of years ago, He had sent the Divine Forging Master and Dao Lord, who were cooperating with Him, to search for the boundary wall, but they found nothing. The entire world was airtight, and there was no way to get out, just like a prison for criminals.
Even if he completes this weapon forging, he won't be able to break through on his own. The outside world might already be filled with Void Sword Sect members, waiting for him.
However, no matter how eloquently He spoke, Jiang Mo did not react. He was only concerned about the tempering of the two magical artifacts in the sky and ignored all the temptations offered by the Heavenly Fire.
Time passed silently, and as the man remained motionless like a rock, Jiang Tianhuo gradually lost all hope, and a fleeting anxiety appeared deep in his eyes.
"Please accept me as your disciple, Master!"
"Clap!"
"boom!!!"
The woman in human form knelt down, kowtowed, and begged Jiang Mo to accept her as his disciple.
With a loud "Boom!!!", the jade pendant in the sky, after being tempered to the sixth level, underwent a terrifying change, gradually shedding its jade pendant shape and transforming into a slender, sharp, and tough shape.
Jiang Mo focused his gaze, not daring to be distracted. He could feel that the human desire was constantly approaching some unknown limit!
On the other side, the Immortal-Breaking Sword had reached the 12th level of tempering, turning from its original dark gray color to a bright white, resembling a sword from the heavens, a perfect weapon not crafted by human skill.
"boom!!"
"I humbly request that you accept me as your disciple, Master."
"boom!!!"
The ancient beings were still bowing when, half an hour later, they received a lukewarm reply.
"I will not accept you as my apprentice. Get up."
"That......"
"I want half of the treasure."
"You agree?!" He exclaimed joyfully.
"It's true that I have a conflict with the Void Sword Sect, but I may not destroy them. I will only help you get what is rightfully yours. As for how to take revenge, that's something you should consider yourself."
Jiang Mo approved the deal. He didn't need the resources or magical artifacts, but his disciples and allies did. Half the resources of a prehistoric power should be enough to support their cultivation for a long time...
"Alright, as long as you escort me into the forbidden area." The ancient being agreed, a great weight lifted from its heart, and it breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, what should I call you? My name is Xuanling."
"Jiang Mo".
"Boom!!!"
The strange phenomena in the sky became increasingly frequent, and the resources of the four secret realms were completely exhausted. Having successfully tempered the Folding Immortal Sword to the 16th level, Si Yue's eyes flickered, but he ultimately resisted the urge to continue trying. He called out towards the distance:
"Young friend, we've reached level 16, and our resources are almost exhausted. Shall we continue? I think that's enough!!"
"That's fine then, thank you for your hard work, senior."
Jiang Mo waved in response, and the old man stopped tempering the sword. Thus, the tempering of the Folding Immortal Sword was completed.
"go--"
With a shout from Si Yue, the immortal sword streaked across the sky, shooting straight toward Jiang Mo, leaving a trail of dazzling light in its wake.
Jiang Mo raised his hand and grasped it, instantly feeling a terrifying power dormant within, and his eyes involuntarily lit up.
"Hey, young friend, how's it going?"
Si Yue strode over proudly, his laughter hearty: "I've calculated it for you. Once the tempering is complete, its power is twice that of its original form."
"Twice...it's like a dream."
Jiang Mo smiled with pleasure. Such an increase had exhausted the resources of five secret realms. Only he could afford it. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have the resources to do so.
"Want to give it a try?" Si Yue asked.
"of course."
Jiang Mo gripped the sword blade with his left hand and gently sliced it across the wound, immediately revealing a deep gash from which crimson blood gushed out.
That was merely a test of sharpness; the sword's true power was not used. Otherwise, the maximum lifespan would have been cut off.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!!!"
Jiang Mo was extremely satisfied with the instantaneous regeneration of flesh and blood, and bowed to Si Yue in gratitude.
"I'm so grateful for your help, senior. With this powerful weapon, I'm sure I'll return victorious."
"Hahaha!!! Being able to forge such a magical artifact is the greatest honor of my life, and it has fulfilled my wish. I am the one who should be thanking you, but I believe in you, young man, you must win!"
Si Yue patted Jiang Mo on the shoulder, his face full of approval.
"win?"
"Win... what?" The woman named Xuanling stood there, stunned.
He had thought Jiang Mo was already the strongest being in Tianyuan, but now, listening to their conversation, it seemed there were other powerful figures he needed to deal with, capable of contending with him?!
"Young friend, this...?"
Si Yue knew about the threat posed by the Starry Sky Human Race, but without Jiang Mo's permission, he dared not reveal it to Xuan Ling.
"Go ahead."
Jiang Mo smiled indifferently, casually put away the Zhexian Sword, and continued to wait for the tempering of Renyu Pei to be completed.
"Here's what happened... Senior."
Si Yue patiently recounted all the information he knew to Xuan Ling, leaving her feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
A fleet of 100,000 men.
There are also weapons that can destroy stars!
Even every warship is equipped with it.
This is far from a minor skirmish between different races; it is undoubtedly a declaration of war by one world against another civilization. Jiang Mo happens to be the representative of the Tianyuan World, about to face a fleet of 100,000 men.
"Hey, are you... really sure about this?"
"You are all human, why don't you negotiate?"
Xuanling was shocked. He never expected that this man, whom he had only known for a short time, would have such courage to confront the world's strongest armed force.
Can you really win?
It didn't know, but it absolutely didn't want Jiang Mo to die like this. Who would protect it then?
“There’s nothing to talk about. My birth is a sin, and my cultivation is a sin. You have greatly underestimated their malice, but I believe in what I have seen with my own eyes. I have also found a weapon powerful enough to destroy the world and sealed it away forever.”
Jiang Mo's eyes remained calm, without the slightest ripple or anger, as he continued speaking:
"I will win this war and then re-enter the Immortal Realm. As for what I promised you, I will never break my word."
"Until then, you should stay at the Divine Forging Sect."
"Wait, don't you need my help? I can help you clean up the battlefield." Xuanling said thoughtfully.
"Need not."
Jiang Mo glanced at it, his smile meaningful, knowing what this extraterrestrial being was up to, and thus clearly refused.
"You can choose to stay in the Divine Forging Sect or go to the mortal world. When the Heavenly Abyss is born in the future, that will be the time for our promise to be fulfilled."
"Furthermore, after you leave, please leave a flame for the members of the Divine Forging Sect to use. Is that possible?"
“Your word is law…” Xuanling agreed without hesitation.
"Reach out your hand."
Upon hearing Jiang Mo's instructions, the latter complied.
"Zizzi!!"
Jiang Mo used his fingers as a brush and transformed Qi into ink, imprinting a special void coordinate on Xuanling's palm and giving it a warning:
"As long as you are still within this realm, you can ask me for help if you encounter danger."
"Okay... thank you."
Knowing full well that this was a form of surveillance, Xuanling still smiled and thanked her.
