“My Sen Luo Sword Box hasn’t had a chance to be refined with Immortal-seeking Gold again, and its sword qi isn’t sharp enough.”
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, appreciating the boy’s concerns, Dong Huang explained calmly.
Her ascension was too recent; she lacked a deep foundation. Even a growth-oriented Treasure Armor Sword Box requires time to find the materials and refine it again. Although the spirituality is sufficient, the material still needs to be replenished.
“Does that mean we can’t deal with this beast?”
Even without having started cultivation, Feng Qing’an knew that among sword cultivators, attack power was the most important. The only ones that could compete were cultivators adept in thunder magic.
Although Dong Huang was not solely devoted to swords, in Feng Qing’an’s eyes, she wasn’t far off. In his memory, the sword sheath was the most potent weapon in Dong Huang’s arsenal. If it could not handle a Ten Tribulations Ghost Immortal, Dong Huang was fated to lose.
After all, if she couldn’t even break the opponent’s feather, what was there to fight? Still, Feng Qing’an didn’t believe Dong Huang would admit defeat so easily. After all, she was the one who initiated the chase. If she wasn’t confident, she wouldn’t act so recklessly.
“Nothing to do but give it a try. I recently crafted a new sword, which can be tested on it!”
“You’ve crafted another sword?”
Feng Qing’an didn’t react instantly. Dong Huang had mentioned that she would help him turn the Xiao Family’s foundational protection, accumulated over a thousand years, into a place of sword nurturing, but that was circumstantial. He had never heard of this lord being adept at sword-smithing.
“Blazing Sun Sky!”
Dong Huang extended her palm, and the outline of a scarlet-gold sword appeared. A power that Feng Qing’an found exceedingly familiar permeated from the blade.
A Blazing Sun Flower!?
“I see!”
Upon seeing this sword for the first time, Feng Qing’an instantly understood why Dong Huang was so confident.
The Blazing Sun Flower was a gift left behind by a supreme deity’s fall into the underworld in unknown ancient times. It was an incredibly rare treasure if one could truly obtain this powerful gift from the Emperor.
This seems to be a shortcut that could lead to a more spacious and smooth path. Using the Blazing Sun Flower’s metamorphosis could certainly save plenty of time. However, any carelessness could lead to being reduced to ashes by the flower’s power, making all accumulated ascensions evaporate into nothingness.
Only a few Ghost Kings with great determination, resolution, and the sturdiest of foundations can successfully use the power of the Blazing Sun Flower to start transitioning from Yin to Yang.
The Blazing Sun Flower’s restraining power against Ghost Creatures does not decrease with the Ghost Creatures’ ascension to Ghost Immortal. After stepping into a whole new realm, for a short time, a Ghost Immortal can tolerate a small amount of the Blazing Sun Flower’s dominating power without being obliterated like weaker Ghost Creatures.
Before Ghost Creatures complete the transformation from Yin to Yang, becoming purely Yang, the Blazing Sun Flower’s restraint against Ghost Creatures, or against Ghost Immortals, always exists.
Forging a sword by harnessing the power of the Blazing Sun Flower is undoubtedly a brilliant idea. Of course, for normal Ghost Kings or ordinary Ghost Immortals, it’s an absolutely crazy idea.
But for Dong Huang, these didn’t matter. Indeed, the Blazing Sun Flower has restraints on her, but it’s merely the collision between Yin and Yang. Not as exaggerated as with the ghost category.
Rattle~
The strange, grating sound rang again. The Five-headed Ghost Car, flapping its wings amidst the sea of sword qi, seemed to be bathing in it. The moment a Blazing Sun Sky appeared in Dong Huang’s hand, it sensed danger. It tried to escape, dodge, but it wasn’t that simple.
Layer upon layer of sword qi waves came from all sides. Feng Qing’an now understood. Those seemingly weak sword qi that seemed only capable of cutting down beast feathers were actually firmly trapping this beast, forcing it to thrash about within a confined range.
Whether to fight or retreat was entirely up to Dong Huang. This battle, even before he started observing, had fallen under Dong Huang’s control. No wonder he saw the ferocious bird thrashing in the midst of the sword aura when he entered. It appeared to be unscathed, but in reality, it was already immobilized.
“No, you can’t kill me. I am the gatekeeper of the Creation Boundary Mountain. If you kill me, the master of the realm will surely sense it. Even if you escape to the Immortal World, retreat to the Demon Domain, or hide in the Devil Abyss, no one will be able to save you!”
Under the coercion of the Burning Sun Sword Peak, the monster seemingly composed entirely of evil thoughts and negative energy, cries out in panic, or perhaps issues a threat.
Seeing this scene, the real body of Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but raise his hand to rub his temples. His perspective was indeed inadequate. When his gaze shifted, Dong Huang had already established a dominant position in the battle. The opponent had no choice and had become a fish on the chopping board.
This was clearly an overwhelming advantage. He thought Dong Huang couldn’t handle this monster. Did he think that by being tough and sturdy, it could remain invincible? Impossible!
Even if the defense can’t be broken, what then? Just drown it directly in a sea of sword aura where every move is under control.
“What kind of power is Creation Boundary Mountain?”
In the Cave Sky, Feng Qing’an looked up and asked the Spirit of Cave Sky.
“That Ten Tribulations Ghost Immortal said he was the gatekeeper of the Creation Boundary Mountain. It seems to be a big deal. Have you heard about it?”
“Creation Boundary Mountain? A place where a Ten Tribulations Ghost Immortal serves as a gatekeeper? Sounds impressive, but I don’t remember. It must be a power that emerged after the fall of the great saint. It’s no wonder I don’t know.”
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s question, the Spirit of the Cave Sky pondered seriously for a while, then shook his head with regret. If there truly was a power that used a ghost immortal as a gatekeeper during the time when the founders of the Cave Sky were in control, they would definitely have an impression of it.
“So, have we got ourselves into big trouble?”
Feng Qing’an stroked his chin. One could infer the whole picture from a part. If all the words of that ghost immortal were true, then the so-called Creation Boundary Mountain was perhaps an extremely terrifying force.
Even knowing all this, there was no panic on Feng Qing’an’s face. He didn’t know why, but at this moment, his heart was extremely calm.
His intuition didn’t sense any danger. On the contrary, when he heard the ghost immortal announce his identity, he somewhat wanted to laugh. A mighty Ten Tribulations Ghost Immortal was nothing more than a watchdog.
“Big trouble? I don’t think so.”
The Spirit of Cave Sky stared at Feng Qing’an for a couple of seconds and then answered.
The reason for the answer was not because it had faith in the broken Cave Sky. If the Cave Sky was intact, there would be no need to worry about any mixed forces. Once the Cave Sky was closed, even if the Taoist Ancestor came, they wouldn’t be able to find it.
But now it wasn’t possible. The reason it was so confident was because of the conclusion it reached after observing Feng Qing’an. If the so-called Creation Boundary Mountain was of such a high level, as long as they had a brain and were able to see, they would definitely not lay hands on its master.
Ignorance is fearlessness. The more one knows, the more they will revere the vastness of the world and the horror hidden beneath this vastness, leading to increased reverence.
The Spirit of Cave Sky didn’t know what others thought, but the more it observed its master, the more it felt fear. At the same time, it was also very grateful. It was grateful that it made the wisest choice at that time. The Cave Sky had hope of restoration and there was no need to worry about the end of destruction.
“Creation Boundary Mountain? I thought it was something big. So, it’s just a watchdog!”
In the dark void, Dong Huang remained indifferent even after hearing the Ten Tribulations Ghost Immortal announce himself. The sword for slaying ghosts, which he had refined after collecting countless Burning Sun flowers, swept down.
The brilliant sword light illuminating thousands of miles, instantly split the seemingly indestructible body of the ghost chariot into two. Amid the painful howls and curses of this beast, it vomited out an ancient tower…
