Zuo Xiaoduo thought that from what Li Chenglong said, it seemed that there was something he didn't know, which led to irreconcilable differences between the two sides.
It seems that I need to find out more.
what is going on
…
On that night, Zuo Xiaonian was still at ease in the space of the Void Destroying Tower. With the help of the top-grade Star Soul Jade and the Soul-Snatching Sword, he used his extremely pure ice-attribute energy to break through the Cloud Transformation Peak and was promoted to the God of Control.
But when the breakthrough happened, it was six o'clock in the morning outside.
At the moment of breakthrough, Zuo Xiaonian clearly felt his spiritual consciousness, as if it had suddenly 'come alive'; it was a feeling... similar to 'suddenly realizing that I am alive', in short, it was an extremely novel and special feeling!
Zuo Xiaonian also had this feeling for the first time: So this is what my soul is like.
I have heard for a long time that humans have souls, but after practicing Taoism for such a long time, this is the first time I realized that humans really do have souls!
At this moment, a feeling of 'even if I die, my soul will still exist' arises.
This is of course an illusion.
But it is so clear and real.
Zuo Xiaonian sat in meditation in the space of the Void Destruction Tower for another half an hour, regulating his own breath before coming out.
As she advanced, cold air began to emanate from Xiao Xiaoduo's body, and her small body became much more solid.
The tip of the sword was inserted into the black ice, and in just half an hour, the pure cold air in the entire piece of black ice had been integrated into the sword body and became its own.
The Soul-Snatching Sword flew up automatically and pierced into another large piece of black ice in a flash.
The original piece of black ice had already been covered with cracks and turbidity, and the surface had begun to slowly melt. It was obvious that the essence was gone, and the ice was gone. The only remaining part was about to return to the world...
Xiao Xiaoduo sighed a little.
The master's strength is still too weak; if he could reach the Flying Heaven Realm of humans, or perhaps the Hedao Realm, and continue to suppress and accumulate with this foundation...
I can compete with that old bad guy...
Now, it is still weak.
However, my luck is much better than that guy's. At least the master's development is endless...
The owner of that guy had obviously encountered a huge bottleneck and was unable to make further progress...
…
When Zuo Xiaoduo saw Zuo Xiaonian again, he couldn't help but be amazed and shocked.
Zuo Xiaonian, who had broken through to the Divine Control Realm, was still immersed in that transcendent state of mind.
Zuo Xiaoduo looked at the beauty, but it was like looking at the moon in the water, or flowers in the fog. It was indescribably ethereal and beautiful, yet also indescribably illusory. It seemed that the beauty in front of him was clearly in front of him, within his reach, yet she seemed to be far away in the horizon, out of reach...
It is an extreme ethereality, an extreme beauty, which can exude endless imagination yet still be unimaginable elegance and grace!
"Nian Nian Cat..." Zuo Xiaoduo was shocked: "You are not going to become an immortal, are you..."
Zuo Xiaonian was awakened by his words, and his mind returned instantly. He frowned and said, "Nonsense."
Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly felt that Zuo Xiaonian was 'back again', and he breathed a sigh of relief; a little scared: "Just now I felt your breath, as if it was above the clouds... Is this the realm of controlling gods?"
Zuo Xiaonian nodded happily, put his hands behind his back, puffed out his chest, and said proudly, "How is it?"
"sharp!"
Zuo Xiaoduo gave a thumbs up: "Really nice breasts!"
"Very fierce?" Zuo Xiaonian was very curious: "Very fierce?"
"Um."
Zuo Xiaoduo's mouth was drooling: "A chest that reaches the sky!"
Zuo Xiaonian thought for a while before he understood what was going on. He immediately became furious: "Little dog, you are looking for death!"
So another round of repairs was done.
With Zuo Xiaonian's strength after making another amazing breakthrough, beating Zuo Xiaoduo would be like a piece of cake for him, so naturally he could beat him up however he wanted!
…
After a while, Li Chenglong sent over all the information about the weapon styles, types, weights, etc. of the eleven people.
Zuo Xiaoduo took it and went to find Wu Tiejiang.
"Uncle Wu, I'm sorry to bother you with these, hehe..."
Wu Tiejiang also frowned: "Put it aside for now. I need to wait a while. The temperature cannot reach the target. Don't go out in the afternoon. Wait at home. Given the current situation, it is very likely that we will need your help."
"I understand." Zuo Xiaoduo agreed obediently.
Wu Tiejiang looked at the Starry Sky Eternal Stone next to him and took a deep breath.
It really is the legendary magical casting material. Perhaps, this will be an extremely difficult challenge in my casting history in this lifetime!
afternoon.
While Wu Tiejiang was sweating profusely, the backyard of the villa, an area of hundreds of meters in size, was all ablaze red, with the middle part looking like surging magma. However, the Starry Sky Eternal Stone stood tall and motionless among the blazing white flames.
Although it is not completely unchanged, it is just a slight redness.
This change, not to say that it has no impact at all, is also very small and negligible.
Zuo Xiaoduo stood quietly aside and waited, silently waiting.
Originally, Zuo Xiaonian was here too, but her body was too incompatible with this environment, and if she didn't try to resist, she wouldn't be able to bear the load. Once she tried to resist, the extremely cold air emitted by the Moon Soul Sutra would reduce the heat to a considerable extent.
Staying here reluctantly would not only fail to help, but would only make things worse.
So he had to leave and go into the Void-Destroying Tower to practice and improve his skills to consolidate his current state.
"Pay attention. If I shout "add more fire", you will use all your strength to activate the second level of Yan Yang Zhenjing's mental method and inject power into the spiritual essence mouth to heat the central position continuously without interruption!"
"clear!"
Wu Tiejiang took a deep breath and suddenly roared. His muscles tensed up and his hands suddenly changed, becoming four or five times thicker in an instant.
When he clapped his hands, sparks flew and his entire arms turned red!
In the palm of his hand, a stream of almost pure white heat suddenly emerged, gushed out violently, and forcefully injected into the mouth of his spiritual energy.
Instantly, the heat in the furnace increased by more than two times, and the unprecedentedly hot light even rushed up to a thousand meters in the sky with an almost uncontrollable momentum.
Wu Tiejiang's face was firm, and his eyes were fixed on the Immortal Stone in the center of the furnace.
The Immortal Stone changed from being slightly red at first to being completely red, with some signs of being transparent!
However, there is still no sign of disintegration or melting!
Wu Tiejiang suddenly felt powerless in his heart.
Even if it was replaced with Indestructible Iron or Thousand Illusion Gold, it would have turned into molten iron by now; but this Indestructible Stone was still stubborn and refused to decompose. It was so damn strong!
It is indeed a legendary magical thing!
But if we can't even decompose the particles, let alone completely melt it and put it to good use.
"Plus the fire!"
Wu Tiejiang shouted loudly.
With this loud shout, his face suddenly turned red, and a surge of blood in his heart was stimulated and instantly reached the tip of his tongue!
Zuo Xiaoduo shouted loudly, unleashing the maximum power of the Yan Yang Sutra that had been gathered to the peak long ago, and the powerful force poured into the Ling Yuan Kou position!
At the same time, Wu Tiejiang let out another loud roar, opened his mouth, and a stream of bright red blood rushed straight into the furnace and sprayed directly onto the Starry Sky Immortal Stone.
finally…
The arrangement of particles of the Starry Sky Eternal Stone has loosened and changed.
"Keep going, don't stop!"
Wu Tiejiang yelled again and spat out another mouthful of blood. He picked up his sledgehammer in his hand. The hammer head was shining with starlight. He swung the hammer hard and smashed it into the furnace. Although the stone had changed, it still maintained its original appearance.
The force of this hammer was extremely clever.
It was clearly an extremely violent force that hit the Starry Sky Immortal Stone, and the destructive force rushed in fiercely; but when it hit the bottom of the Starry Sky Immortal Stone, it disappeared immediately!
It was like being in a furnace, swinging a sledgehammer continuously, but not a single bit of the force leaked out and affected anything else!
While Zuo Xiaoduo was practicing the Yan Yang Sutra with all his strength, he was also watching Wu Tiejiang's superb hammer technique, and his heart was filled with shock!
Originally, after Zuo Xiaoduo acquired various hammer techniques from the Great Flood Wizard, he felt that he had mastered all the hammer techniques in the world, and the rest were mediocre and not worth mentioning.
But at this moment, seeing the hammer technique used by Wu Tiejiang, he had another function, which was even more exquisite!
Even for Zuo Xiaoduo, the hammer technique used by Wu Tiejiang is the real hammer technique!
This hammering method... is simply too awesome!
To give an example, it is like putting a large iron block on a boiled and peeled egg. The pressure of the iron block alone is enough to crush the egg.
At this time, a hammer will come down and smash the iron block into pieces, but the egg cannot be damaged at all, and the iron block is also not allowed to be intact at all!
It is this incredible power that is used!
It has both an indestructible side and a side that does not suffer any unnecessary damage. It is truly amazing!
Zuo Xiaoduo couldn't help but be amazed. From the technical aspect alone, this hammering method was truly better than all the hammering methods he had mastered!
Well, having such an understanding is just Zuo Xiaoduo's shallow knowledge. The Flood Wizard's hammer technique is based on tyranny. He can defeat all opponents with one force and suppress the whole world. With the Flood Wizard's unrivaled strength, no one can match him. He does not care about the so-called loss.
Although Wu Tiejiang's own cultivation has reached the pinnacle of this world, he is still far behind the Great Wizard of Flood, and there are many cultivators whose cultivation strength is higher than his.
If he used pure powerful hammering technique, when facing someone stronger than him, he would win if he was stronger, and lose if he was weaker. There was no chance of luck. On the contrary, this kind of exquisite hammering technique which was practical but not flashy and had very little loss was more suitable for him.
The Great Wizard of Hong Shui and Wu Tiejiang, one is too much, the other is far inferior, there is no way they can be compared!
But then again... Zuo Xiaoduo's cultivation is still shallow. When facing enemies of the same level or even a slightly higher level, he can use the powerful hammer method taught by the Great Flood Wizard to defeat the enemy. But if he faces a stronger enemy, Wu Tiejiang's hammer method, which is practical and has very little loss, is better. This is the fault of Zuo Xiaoduo's shallow cultivation, not the problem of the Great Flood Wizard's hammer method.
Zuo Xiaoduo felt as if he had found a treasure, staring at it without blinking, and saw that the crazy hammer dance seemed to form a line. Wu Tiejiang struck ninety-nine hammers in a row in an instant, and taking advantage of the gap, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed into the furnace.
With a loud crash, under Zuo Xiaoduo's stunned gaze, the huge piece of Starry Sky Eternal Stone finally collapsed and scattered everywhere, breaking into tiny particles.
Each grain was of the same size, just like a furnace suddenly filled with the finest sand.
Wu Tiejiang roared: "Keep going, don't stop!"
Then with a loud bang, two smaller pieces of Starry Sky Immortal Stone were thrown into the furnace together.
"In one go, turn everything that can be used into particles!"
Wu Tiejiang's face was already somewhat pale at this moment, showing that he was extremely exhausted.
He swallowed another handful of pills and turned his head to ask, "Xiaoduo, can you still hold on?"
Zuo Xiaoduo maintained a steady output, laughed loudly, and said in a very heroic manner: "Don't worry, Uncle Wu, I have billions of this stuff!"
“Fuck!”
Wu Tiejiang was speechless.
This little bitch almost made me lose the breath with just one sentence.
But there was no time to be distracted at this moment, so I took a deep breath and continued working.
For the entire afternoon, when the fifth piece of Starry Sky Immortal Stone suddenly turned into particles, Wu Tiejiang began to tremble weakly all over.
The breath he had taken suddenly disappeared, and he sat down on the ground without any image, gasping for air; "... Okay, open that hole over there..."
As he spoke, he threw over a few barrels made of unknown substances.
Zuo Xiaoduo did as he was told and picked open another thin hole on the side of the furnace with one hand.
The bucket was put on top, and suddenly...
Crash...
One after another, bright red hexagonal particles poured out from the furnace.
One bucket was filled up instantly, and then another bucket was quickly replaced. This continued for more than forty buckets before no new particles flowed out.
Wu Tiejiang was still panting and staggering over. He had almost exhausted all his energy during the smelting process just now, and his heart was still beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.
He took a look and breathed a sigh of relief: "It is indeed... It is indeed the purest, the Starry Sky Immortal Stone..."
"Is there any other explanation?"
Zuo Xiaoduo was extremely curious.
Although the smelting had been stopped at this time, the temperature here had still reached an alarming level; Wu Tiejiang was now exhausted and weak, and he did not even have time to answer Zuo Xiaoduo's question, and he rushed out tumbling.
Although Zuo Xiaoduo's actual cultivation level was far inferior to Wu Tiejiang's, the Yan Yang Sutra he practiced had a high resistance to the current extremely hot environment. Although he felt uncomfortable, he was not really unable to bear it. He could even use the geographical advantage to improve his cultivation.
Zuo Xiaoduo acted immediately, using the Flame Sun Sutra to start recovering heat in reverse. With the experience of the Fiery Sun Heart in the past as a foundation, this operation was very easy for him and he did it very fluently.
And two hours later, the surrounding temperature slowly dropped, and after a while, the temperature had basically returned to normal.
After some breathing exercises, Wu Tiejiang had already carried out the forty-three buckets of Starry Sky Immortal Stone particles. He had already set up a large pool filled with water outside.
Wu Tiejiang directly opened the water supply valve of the villa and pushed it to the limit. The water rushed in with a rumble. The pool water immediately overflowed and began to flow out.
However, in a flash, Wu Tiejiang poured bucket after bucket of Starry Sky Immortal Stone particles into the water.
Hundreds of cubic meters of clean water instantly evaporated into water vapor, rising into the sky like a rolling mushroom cloud.
The water supply valve was fully opened, but it still took several minutes for the pool to start filling up again. The water in the pool was still rolling, boiling, and evaporating...
Under Wu Tiejiang's command, as soon as the pool was full of water, Zuo Xiaoduo would pour a bucket of Starry Sky Eternal Sand into it.
Then the water in the entire pool evaporated instantly again and again.
This cycle repeats itself over and over again...
Zuo Xiaoduo originally wanted to ask Zuo Xiaonian to come out to help, but was stopped by Wu Tiejiang.
"That won't work. Xiao Nian'er's extreme freezing quality is extremely high. Once the spiritual power containing the extreme freezing factor comes into contact with the Starry Sky Immortal Sand, it will easily collapse. Once that happens, the Starry Sky Immortal Sand will never be able to melt again."
"It is better to use the most ordinary water to cool down, without any spiritual energy mixed in, to continuously flush it, so as to consume all the heat generated by the spiritual energy, so as to better proceed to the next step."
Zuo Xiaoduo had no choice but to pour water over and over again.
During this day and night, the entire Qianlong Gaowu villa area was completely cut off from clean water supply. All gates were closed to supply only Zuo Xiaoduo's villa...
Apart from anything else, by the end, when all the immortal sands had formed a layer under the pool and the water had returned to its normal cool temperature, Zuo Xiaoduo estimated that... the water bill would be around tens of thousands of yuan...
It’s not an exaggeration, the consumption is just so huge!
The reason why I say it is not an exaggeration is because there are real exaggerations -
The sky above Fenghai was filled with unprecedented water vapor, and it began to rain. Then, as the cold air blew over, the raindrops turned into snowflakes halfway through their fall, floating in the air, which was very beautiful.
The swimming pool is more than 100 square meters and three meters deep, and the water has evaporated countless times.
Now, standing by the swimming pool, I can see the rippling blue waves and the twinkling stars at the bottom of the pool, which is simply dazzling.
Zuo Xiaonian also came out at this time, and stood by the swimming pool with Zuo Xiaoduo. Looking down, he couldn't help but be dazzled: "It's so beautiful."
The clear water in the swimming pool is sparkling like mysterious stars blinking... This scene is simply hard to imagine and cannot be described in words.
Zuo Xiaoduo fell in love at first sight.
"When the world is at peace, I will definitely build a swimming pool like this in the villa where Nian Nian Cat and I live in seclusion! No, the area must be more than a hundred times larger than this... and the bottom should be covered with Starry Sky Immortal Sand!"
“Then, Nian Nian Cat and I will swim in it… swim… swim naked… hehehehe…”
Zuo Xiaoduo was daydreaming and couldn't help but smile.
Wu Tiejiang had recovered by now. He took a breath, scooped up a handful of Starry Sky Immortal Sand, put it in his palm, and couldn't help but sigh in praise: "It's so beautiful!"
In Wu Tiejiang's hand, each grain of the Starry Sky Immortal Sand was about the size of a millet grain, neatly arranged in the shape of a hexagram, crystal clear, and blue all over!
Every surface reflects the bright starlight. With a casual move of the hand, the eternal starry sand will flicker layer by layer, magnificent and boundless. It is truly beautiful to the extreme and gorgeous beyond words!
Zuo Xiaoduo came over.
"Uncle Wu, this... is this the Starry Sky Immortal Stone from before?" Zuo Xiaoduo asked in disbelief.
Even though I was supervising the whole process and even though I did it myself, it was still hard to believe that something that was originally black and looked so ugly could become so beautiful and eye-catching after being turned into particles!
"Who says it's not?"
Wu Tiejiang also looked at the Starry Sky Immortal Stone in his hand with great interest, and said, "Although I know how to smelt the Starry Sky Immortal Stone, this is the first time I have seen the real thing. After smelting it myself and playing with it, I am sure that this thing is really a very strange thing; it is completely composed of star particles floating in the starry sky."
"Once the star particles leave the water, they will generate a force of attraction to each other. Over time, they will eventually gather together to form the Star Immortal Stone. This is probably the fundamental reason for its immortality!"
Wu Tiejiang sighed, "In fact, this thing is more like jade than stone. And it is the kind of crystal jade that cannot be compared with any other known jade!"
"The six-pointed star was formed naturally, and it has been emitting light since time immemorial. The stars are immortal and I am immortal too, and the Great Dao will always illuminate the starry sky!"
Wu Tiejiang looked at the Star Immortal Stone in his hand and said softly, "Xiao Duoyu, you don't need to refine your hidden weapon specially."
"oh?"
Zuo Xiaoduo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he immediately understood what Wu Tiejiang meant.
He walked forward, picked up a star stone, and rubbed it and played with it again and again.
This thing seems a little small!
Then Zuo Xiaoduo had an expression as if he had discovered a new world.
The particles of the Starry Sky Immortal Stone are small in size, almost the same size as rice grains, but their actual weight is more than twice that of his jade gourd; the feel in his hand is no less than that of a jade hidden weapon.
"This is a natural hidden weapon. Why do we need to refine it? It's just adding unnecessary details."
Wu Tiejiang said: "Even if there is a skilled immortal craftsman, it is impossible to make a batch of hidden weapons all look exactly the same and flawless. Every edge and corner of the natural hexagram of the Star Immortal Stone is indestructible and difficult to erase."
"Even any sword's edge is not as sharp as these."
"All you need to do is to use your own true energy to nurture this stone for a long time, so that it can have a certain degree of connection with you."
"Given the indestructible nature of the Star Immortal Stone, as long as it hits the target, it will definitely cause quite terrifying lethality. Even if it misses, with the nourishment of the true energy and the self-traction power of the hexagram, it can be retrieved afterwards!"
"I can assert that every particle fired out will penetrate the enemy's body as long as it hits the enemy's body, as long as the enemy's cultivation is not above the Flying Sky level. Even if you scatter hundreds of thousands of them on the battlefield, you don't have to worry about losing too many. After the battle, as long as you hold a handful of Starry Sky Immortal Stones and walk around the battlefield, you can recover most of them!"
“Even if they are flying masters, your current cultivation level may not be able to damage their bodies, but as long as you reach a certain level, they will be hit by the Starry Sky Immortal Stone, even if they are only slightly injured; they still cannot heal the injuries caused by the Starry Sky Immortal Stone themselves.”
"Because the damage caused by the Star Immortal Stone is also indestructible and will continue to cause damage."
"Only you can heal this kind of injury, because only you can use your Starry Sky Immortal Stone to pull back the Starry Sky Immortal Stone particles that cause continuous damage. Only by removing the culprit that causes continuous damage can the wound recover. In other words, if the injured person wants to recover, he must find you, because only you can perfectly heal the Starry Sky Immortal Stone wound."
Wu Tiejiang sighed softly: "This is simply a hidden weapon given to you by God. I don't know whether to say it is fortunate or unfortunate that such a deadly weapon has fallen into the hands of a young man like you!"
Zuo Xiaoduo and Zuo Xiaonian's eyes suddenly sparkled.
There is such a good thing!
"With this Starry Sky Immortal Stone as a hidden weapon, all the shackles of hidden weapons will completely disappear on you. Unless you encounter an enemy at the level of the Twelve Great Wizards."
"But if you reach the same level as them, the power of the Starry Sky Immortal Stone will still exist!"
Wu Tiejiang said: "So now, you can think about your own name. Nickname. Because, under the starry sky, you are unique!"
… …
It's a bit long-winded. I read it several times and revised it to reduce it a bit, but the word count actually increased after the revision...
Let's just watch...
