"The great law of the Minghong Sword belongs to the category of devouring. This kind of magical power has a very strong spirituality. If it is completely sealed, it would be equivalent to starving a living person. It will hurt the spirituality of the Minghong Sword and even cause it to be completely destroyed." Huo Lingzi said.
"So that's how it is." Shen Luo said this, thinking to himself that Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi was also a treasure lover.
"I saw that the Minghong Sword still had its ferocious nature, so I thought that the seal set by Emperor Xuanyuan was beginning to loosen. Now it seems that Emperor Xuanyuan is much smarter than I thought. Since the heart of the sword is sealed, you should be able to withstand the evil spirit on the outer layer. You don't have to worry about anything in the future and can use the sword at will." Huo Lingzi said as he returned the Minghong Sword to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo was secretly happy. He had long been interested in the power of the Minghong Sword, but because of Huo Lingzi's reminder he did not dare to use it too much. Now it was all right.
He took the Minghong Sword into his body and used the Innate Treasure Refining Technique to refine it.
Shen Luo checked the other treasures on his body again. The Xuanhuang Yiqi Stick and the Xuepo Yuan Banner were slightly damaged, but they were not a big problem. Although the spirituality of several Chunyang Flying Swords was damaged, the essence was not damaged. They would be able to recover if they were properly nurtured.
The most severely damaged item in this battle was the Thousand Dou Golden Zun, whose internal restrictions had completely collapsed. Fortunately, the spirituality of many materials inside this treasure was still there and could be refined again.
With Fire Spirit around, this matter is not difficult.
However, the Thousand Dou Golden Cup still lacks the most important Nine Heavens Golden Essence. Shen Luo now has the Blood Soul Yuan Banner, a more powerful defensive magic weapon, and has no plans to refine this treasure again for the time being.
After finishing the trivial matters, Shen Luo flicked his sleeves and shot out a golden light, which wrapped around the King of Destruction next to him and sent him into the Xiaoyao Mirror. He closed his eyes and continued to practice.
"Hey, kid Shen, what is this thing?" Huo Lingzi's voice sounded again.
Shen Luo opened his eyes and probed his spiritual sense into the Xiaoyao Mirror.
Huo Lingzi was holding a black object in his hand. It looked like a stone, but had some wood texture and a very strange smell.
"Where did you get this thing?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"How could I get it? This thing was just put into the Xiaoyao Mirror by you and the King of Destruction. Didn't you notice it?" Huo Lingzi rolled his eyes.
Shen Luo was startled and looked around. Soon he found another black object on the ground not far away. He immediately flicked his sleeves and took it in his hand.
This thing feels warm to the touch, hard yet soft, and doesn't feel like stone.
He used his spiritual sense to investigate carefully. Although the aura of this object was strange, it gave him a very familiar feeling.
Shen Luo thought about it briefly and quickly remembered where he had seen this thing.
“This is a fragment of the ancestral statue!”
"Ancestral statue!" Huo Lingzi raised his voice.
As he was speaking, the space in the Xiaoyao Mirror suddenly opened, and he jumped out of it. He hurriedly came to the broken statue of the fox clan's ancestor, and looked at the remaining statue base on the ground with great concentration.
Nie Caizhu was awakened by Huo Lingzi's movement. She looked at Shen Luo in confusion, but Shen Luo raised a finger, signaling her not to speak.
"That's right, it really is a fragment of the World Tree." Huo Lingzi suddenly slapped his legs and said this out of the blue, his face full of excitement.
"World Tree?" Shen Luo's expression changed when he heard this.
