Chapter 235 Fragment Of The Immortal Sword
Chapter 235 Fragment Of The Immortal Sword
Half a day later.
In a quiet primeval forest.
The towering trees were luxuriant, and as far as the eye could see, there was a scene of vitality.
But the strange thing was, there was no wind or grass within a radius of hundreds of miles.
The air here seemed to be forever still.
Not only that, but other sounds could not be heard at all.
There were no sounds of insects and birds, no roars of wild beasts, and no signs of Demon Clan activity.
Apart from the trees everywhere, this area seemed to be unable to accommodate the existence of a second life form.
Zhao Mu's golden eyes kept scanning, and he felt more and more that this place was ominous.
Not to mention insects, even bacteria were almost extinct in this damned place. It was a completely sterile environment.
But it was quite clean, suitable for people with mysophobia.
There was nothing wrong with performing a craniotomy in the open in this place.
"This place is so strange. Could it be affected by the Celestial Sword Fragment?" Zhao Mu asked the All Access God beside him.
The little old man nodded. "Young hero's guess is correct. Even if it's the Celestial Sword Fragment, the power of Taoism contained in it is extremely terrifying. The sword will that is emitted all the time will directly attack the origin of life. No life form can survive in this environment."
"To be honest, I'm a little surprised. Logically speaking, this place should be a barren land, but I didn't expect it to have such a thriving forest. These trees can resist the sword will radiation of the Celestial Sword Fragment, so their quality should be very extraordinary. Maybe they're good treasures of heaven and earth."
Hearing the All Access God's explanation, Zhao Mu also felt a little strange.
He used his eyesight to continue scanning the forest, and gradually found some strange things.
"There seems to be a lot of trees here, but when I look deep into the veins, I see that these trees all originate from one place and use the same root system. Maybe this forest actually only has one tree."
The All Access God's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something. He said, "Young hero, you're in luck. If I'm not wrong, other than the Celestial Sword Fragment, there should be other treasures hidden here, and they're likely to be top treasures of heaven and earth."
Hearing this, Zhao Mu was full of energy and immediately quickened his pace.
Under the guidance of the All Access Deity, the two of them quickly found the hiding place of the immortal sword fragment.
The terrain here was twisted and complicated. The ground within a radius of a few thousand meters was full of collapsed tunnels, as if they had been eaten by worms. The underground tunnels were connected together, extending in all directions. Some of the tunnels were spewing out icy springs, while others were spewing out blazing flames. Some were spewing out molten gold, and some were filled with precious ores and jadeites.
It could be said that there were treasures everywhere.
Although it wasn't worth much to cultivators, if a mortal discovered this place and casually brought some things home, it would be enough to last them a lifetime.
Of course, this was the depths of the Ten Thousand Demons Forest. Ordinary cultivators would not dare to trespass, let alone mortals.
"By taking this tunnel, I can sense that the sword immortal fragment is not far ahead. The strange terrain and complex mineral structure here are likely the result of the intense sword pressure when the immortal sword fragment fell here."
Zhao Mu immediately followed the footsteps of the All Access God and went all the way down the tunnel.
As they continued to go deeper, Zhao Mu gradually felt that the skin all over his body had a faint electric shock, and his hair stood up involuntarily. As they continued to go deeper, there was even a faint tingling sensation on his skin, as if someone was stabbing him with a knife.
Fortunately, this little bit of damage was not enough for Zhao Mu.
But while being careful, Zhao Mu still activated the Mixed Yuan Armor.
Suddenly, the shadow of a dark golden armor full of divine power appeared on Zhao Mu's body.
"Ultimate Taoist Artifact of Origin!"
Bao Tong Shen's eyes lit up, and he instantly recognized the quality of this Immemorial Armor.
"Can Bao Ye comment on this armor of mine?" Zhao Mu asked with a smile.
The person in front of him was a professional, and he could ask for advice.
Bao Tong Shen seemed to be quite pleased with the way Bao Ye addressed him. He squinted his eyes and laughed, "Young hero, you flatter me. I am Miss's retainer, and Miss has been in love with you for a long time. Sooner or later, you will become Miss's son-in-law. I dare not take advantage of my seniority in front of you, but I can comment on it."
He swept his gaze over as he continued, "For a treasure that has its quintessence activated, there's no need to doubt its value. Although this set of armor is only a dao treasure, in the Immortal Martial Continent, it can definitely be considered a peak-tier treasure. This is especially so when it's a defensive-type treasure. Once you possess it, it's equivalent to having an extra life. It's not an exaggeration to say that if you wear this treasure, even if it's a Tribulation Ascension Stage expert, it would be extremely difficult for them to injure you."
With that, the All Access Deity added, "If young hero trusts this old man, you can give this magic weapon to me and let me refine it again. It can increase the magic weapon's performance by 30% and reduce the consumption of spiritual qi by 30%."
With this increase and decrease, wouldn't the power of the Immemorial Armor increase by 60% in an instant?
Without hesitation, Zhao Mu immediately took off the armor and handed it to Bao Tong Shen.
Bao Tong Shen did not talk nonsense. After taking the armor, he directly turned into a ray of light and merged into the armor.
A moment later, the armor shone brightly as if it had been blessed and refined. When the light dissipated, although the shape was not changed, it gave Zhao Mu a feeling that it was indeed very different from before.
Soon, Bao Tong Shen flew out of the armor and returned it to Zhao Mu.
"Fortunately, I did not disappoint you. The essence of this armor is much better than I estimated. The material is very pure, and there are no impurities at all. Therefore, the improvement effect is also beyond my expectations. The performance can be increased by 50%, and the spiritual energy consumption can be reduced by 40%!"
There was such a good thing?
Zhao Mu took back the armor and put it on again.
He guessed that this might be related to the system's production.
The magical equipment returned by the system was not artificially forged, so there were no impurities.
With the armor protecting his body, Zhao Mu's confidence was greatly boosted. The two of them continued to walk deeper into the tunnel.
Finally, they reached the end of the tunnel.
In front of him was an underground lake.
The golden lake had its own light source, illuminating the entire underground space.
The warm lake water was suffused with dense mist, as if he had walked into a sauna.
Whoosh.
Accompanied by an ear-piercing sword hum, a sword ray surged out from the lake. It slashed out a sword Qi in the mist, heading straight for Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu was shocked and was about to take it.
On the side, Bao Tong Shen suddenly roared, "Spiritual treasures communicate with things, manifest ten thousand spirits, feel my true form, remove the slyness of my heart … Urgent as the law commands, receive!"
As soon as he said that, the Sword Will that was slashing down strangely stopped abruptly. It hovered in the air and then slowly disappeared into the void.
Immediately afterward, the surface of the lake surged, and from the vortex, a piece of broken iron with golden light was shot out, falling directly into the palm of All Access Deity.
All Access God's face lit up.
"Okay."
