#492 - Finale
High-grade weapons possess the ability to communicate spiritually.
Some weapons can even evolve a self-awareness, much like a human body possessing a soul.
"What level is your weapon spirit?"
Jun Wu Xie had always been very curious about Emperor-level existences.
"As a spirit of an Emperor-level weapon, naturally I am Super God-level."
Xuan Yuan Slashing God Sword replied.
Super God-level… …
Jun Wu Xie was silent.
He searched through the fragmented memories in his mind.
Based on what he understood from the scattered memories of the God Ancient World, weapon spirits were divided into Saint-level and God-level.
Super God-level weapon spirits were something he had never heard of before.
Clearly, this was higher than the grade of the weapon spirit of the highest-level divine artifact in his previous God Ancient Continent, otherwise how could it be called Super God?
"Ahem, you see, you've been in this secret realm for so many years, you must be very lonely, right? Don't you miss the glorious years of fighting alongside Emperor Xuan Yuan?"
"Boy, you want to trick me?" The Xuan Yuan Slashing God Sword's weapon spirit said faintly, "You're only so old, and you want to play tricks in front of me?"
Jun Wu Xie: … …
He hadn't even started tricking yet, and he was already seen through after just a little prelude.
"Don't even think about it, I won't take the initiative to attack. If you want to release the power of the Xuan Yuan Slashing God Sword, then pour in your strength and activate the Dao patterns inside."
The Xuan Yuan Slashing God Sword's weapon spirit was very straightforward: "You have your own path to walk. Being down-to-earth and taking one step at a time is the right way. Even if you sweep through the Three Realms with my power, what would that achieve? Is that your power?"
"Give me a break."
Jun Wu Xie was quite speechless. This guy was exaggerating too much.
He only wanted to borrow the power of the Xuan Yuan Slashing God Sword to deter those powerful enemies that he couldn't currently deal with.
How could he possibly want to sweep through the Three Realms with its power?
He refined some medicinal liquid and quickly recovered his energy and spirit, holding the Xuan Yuan Sword and looking down at the island.
Now that he had obtained the Xuan Yuan Slashing God Sword, this should be the ultimate place of the Xuan Yuan Secret Realm, right?
But how to leave next?
At this time, Mu Yun Xi was climbing the mountain, and the sword energy on the mountain had dissipated, so there was no danger.
Just as Jun Wu Xie was thinking about how to leave, the soil under his feet vibrated slightly, and wisps of runes lit up.
He looked down and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The runes on the ground were hexagonal, gathered into a formation diagram, forming a beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
Above the sky, the aura of space flowed, presenting a vortex about ten meters in diameter.
The changes on the mountain peak and in the sky alarmed the prodigies at the foot of the mountain, who all looked up.
"Could this be the passage to leave?"
Mu Yun Xi ascended to the mountain peak, stood side by side with Jun Wu Xie, looked up at the void vortex in the sky, and her eyes were a little complicated.
"It should be."
Jun Wu Xie nodded, looked at Mu Yun Xi beside him, and said, "Let's go, we should leave."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Mu Yun Xi's eyes were as clear and transparent as ice and snow, and there was a hint of dimness on her cold and beautiful face: "After leaving, I am not just Mu Yun Xi, but also the Saintess of the Ice Cloud Tower. Some past events can only be sealed in my memory and cannot be touched again… …"
Jun Wu Xie stared at her and said, "Yun Xi, you must remember what I said. A person who can become a strong person must be someone who can bravely face their true inner self at any time. Some things, I didn't say plainly before, but now I want to tell you plainly that the Dao of your Ice Cloud Tower is a fragile Dao, an undesirable Dao! It's not about the cultivation method, but your philosophy is wrong."
Mu Yun Xi's delicate body trembled slightly, and then she said coldly: "Why do you say that our cultivation philosophy is wrong? Our philosophy has been tested for hundreds of thousands of years, how could it be wrong!"
"I have said all I need to say. You can think about what the truth is for yourself. Without comparison, there is no harm. You are so smart, you should understand."
After Jun Wu Xie finished speaking, he stopped talking and sighed secretly, stepped into the air, and prepared to enter the void vortex.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the void vortex, causing him to stop abruptly.
"Well, the exit of the secret realm has opened. It seems that the treasures left in the Xuan Yuan Secret Realm should have been obtained by someone, right?"
"Usually, only when the most precious thing in the secret realm falls into the hands of someone destined, will the secret realm open the ultimate passage directly to the outside world. In that case, the Xuan Yuan Sword already has an owner."
"Hey, which member of the Xuan Yuan clan do you think the Xuan Yuan Sword fell into the hands of?"
"Need you even ask? These Xuan Yuan clansmen must think it fell into Jun Wu Xie's hands."
"Hahaha, Jun Wu Xie? It's not even known whether he's still alive. I think he's probably been killed long ago, right?"
"My Son of Heavenly Purity Sect is a true Qilin child. Who else but him could be the owner of the Xuan Yuan Sword?"
"That's not necessarily true. Could the Young Master of my Ancient Phoenix Sect be weaker than the Son of Heavenly Purity Sect?"
"Well said, the Young Master of my Golden Ancient City is also a Qilin child of this era, and it is difficult to find an opponent of the same level! It is still unknown who the Xuan Yuan Sword fell into the hands of, but one thing is certain, it is definitely not the disciple of the Military Saint. With just the Grandmaster Realm, in a secret realm where military talismans cannot be used, any of our families' Qilin children would be enough to cut off his head!"
"Well, this trip to the Xuan Yuan Secret Realm should be fruitful for them. As for my Soul Hunting Hall's Soul Son and Soul Daughter, even if they don't get the Xuan Yuan Sword, obtaining a Bone-Hiding Spirit Pearl should not be a problem."
"My Holy Gate cannot compare with you all, but my sect's Saint Son and prodigies must also have their own opportunities, and I believe they will not disappoint us."
"They should be coming out soon. When that time comes, some families will be happy and some will be sad. You Xuan Yuan clan are probably destined to never get it, hahaha!"
… …
In the secret realm, Jun Wu Xie stood in the air, just below the void vortex, listening to the people from various forces outside talking there, confidently ridiculing the Xuan Yuan clan, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
At this time, the prodigies from various forces also ascended to the mountain peak.
They also heard the voices from the outside world, and their faces showed strange expressions.
Especially the Heavenly Purity Sect, Ancient Phoenix Sect, Golden Ancient City, and Soul Hunting Hall, calling their disciples Qilin children one after another.
I wonder what their expressions will be when they know the truth?
"Everyone, you have all heard the voices from the outside world, this is undoubtedly the passage to the outside world."
Jun Wu Xie landed.
"Young Master Jun, thank you for giving us opportunities several times. We will definitely remember this kindness in our hearts!"
"Great kindness is beyond words. If there is anything you need in the future, Young Master Jun, just say it, and we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Young Master Jun, remember to come to the Spirit Control Sect as a guest in the future~ People are waiting for you oh~", Xu Yan gave a charming smile, and threw him a wink before turning around.
… …
One after another, the prodigies rushed into the sky and entered the void vortex.
Jun Wu Xie then jumped down the mountain.
Mu Yun Xi looked at him in astonishment as he cut off the heads of the Son of Heavenly Purity, the Young Master of the Ancient Phoenix Sect, the Young Master of the Golden Ancient City, and the Soul Son.
She originally wanted to go out with Jun Wu Xie, but then changed her mind, shook her head secretly, and rose into the air.
… …
At this moment, outside, on the roof of the Bronze Ancient Hall, one after another, the prodigies rushed out from the void vortex.
"Hahaha, you're back, it's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
The higher-ups of the Demon Appearance Sect, Spirit Control Sect, Medicine King Sect, and other forces secretly breathed a sigh of relief, welcoming their prodigies with smiling faces.
"Tell me quickly, what did you gain from this trip?"
They couldn't wait to ask their own prodigies.
"It can be considered a bit of a gain."
Those prodigies took out the Earth Spirit Source, Small Realm Fruit, Nine-Star Ancient Weapon, and so on.
"Is this the legendary Earth Spirit Source that, when consumed, can directly allow warriors below the Saint Sect to break through a realm?"
The eyes of the higher-ups were fiery, and their faces were full of shock.
"This fruit… …"
"It actually contains such a strong origin?!"
"My God, this is a peerless treasure that can directly improve the intensity of a warrior's talent!"
… …
Suddenly, the higher-ups of various forces exclaimed.
Their prodigies each had several such fruits on them!
"Hahaha! It seems that this trip was indeed fruitful!" The higher-up of the Heavenly Purity Sect laughed loudly and said: "This old man is looking forward to it more and more. What kind of things will my sect's Qilin child bring back? Those fruits are naturally nothing!"
"Well, even a Heaven-Grade prodigy can obtain such treasures. My sect's Young Master Qilin child is a World-Grade powerhouse. The treasures he obtained in the secret realm are definitely not comparable to those of the Heaven-Grade!"
"Just a few groups of Earth Spirit Source and a few fruits, what are you so proud of? When the Young Master of my clan comes out, I'll show you what a great opportunity is!" The higher-up of the Golden Ancient City spoke indifferently.
The smiles on the faces of the higher-ups of the Demon Appearance Sect, Spirit Control Sect, Medicine King Sect, and other forces suddenly disappeared.
That's right, the prodigies of those Supreme Master-level forces are World-Grade, and the treasures they obtained in the secret realm are definitely not comparable to the prodigies of their own sects.
However, they did not notice that the eyes of those prodigies in their own sects were very strange, a look of sympathy.
Gradually, dozens of prodigies came out.
Mu Yun Xi also came out. The higher-ups of the Ice Cloud Tower saw her in an instant, and their beautiful eyes lit up.
Her changes were great, and her aura was much stronger than when she entered the secret realm.
Everyone present could see this change.
"Saintess, you're finally out!"
The higher-ups of the Ice Cloud Tower stepped forward to greet her, took Mu Yun Xi's hand, and asked about her experience in the secret realm.
Mu Yun Xi's expression had always been cold and clear, and she flipped her hand to take out more than a dozen full Small Realm Fruits, as well as a pile of dried-up Small Realm Fruits.
Suddenly, the higher-ups of the Ice Cloud Tower were so excited that their bodies trembled.
The higher-ups from the other factions watched with wide eyes, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Hahaha!"
The higher-ups from the Heavenly Purity Sect, Ancient Phoenix Sect, Golden Ancient City, and Soul Hunting Hall all burst into laughter.
"Hmm, the Holy Maiden of the Ice Cloud Tower obtained quite a few treasures. It seems our Qilin will also give us a great surprise. However, these people are really dawdling. Why aren't they coming out yet?"
They said this, their faces full of confidence and anticipation.
"Don't rush, wait patiently. The Qilins from our few factions will return with the Xuan Yuan Sword; naturally, they should make a grand finale entrance!"
A strongman from the Heavenly Purity Sect stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Grand Elder, do you think Young Master Jun can really bring back the Xuan Yuan Sword?"
Two middle-aged men from the Xuan Yuan Clan couldn't help but reveal a hint of worry in their eyes.
"Calm yourselves and wait patiently."
The Xuan Yuan Grand Elder said calmly.
At this moment, the void vortex transmitted fluctuations again.
"Someone is about to come out! This time, it should be the Qilins from our few factions, right?"
The higher-ups from the Ancient Phoenix Sect and others stood with their hands behind their backs, their faces filled with confident and expectant smiles.
But the next moment, the smiles on their faces instantly froze.
A person rushed out of the void vortex, dressed in green robes, with thick black hair, and a handsome face that was also firm.
"Why is it you?"
Their expressions were uncertain.
This disciple of the Military Saint, who they thought should have died in the secret realm, actually came out alive?
"Why can't it be me?" Jun Wuxie had a playful smile on his face, glanced at them, and said, "Not your faction's Qilin, are you very disappointed?"
"Humph! Jun Wuxie, don't be arrogant. It's lucky for you that you were able to come out alive this time!"
"Hmm, our Qilins must have focused all their attention on obtaining the Xuan Yuan treasures, so they let you take advantage of the situation and survive!"
"You've only come out alive, what's there to be arrogant about? When did even preserving your life become something to brag about? When our Qilins return, they will surely be laden with Xuan Yuan treasures; that will be something truly worth bragging about!"
… …
The higher-ups from the Heavenly Purity Sect, Ancient Phoenix Sect, Golden Ancient City, and Soul Hunting Hall sneered.
Jun Wuxie said with a smile: "You don't have to wait anymore; your Qilins have already come out."
"What a joke! Do you think we're blind?"
The higher-ups from the Heavenly Purity Sect, Ancient Phoenix Sect, Golden Ancient City, and Soul Hunting Hall sneered repeatedly.
"Really, I'm not lying to you. I'll bring them out for you." As Jun Wuxie spoke, a light flashed from his Ring of Holding, and four bloody heads appeared in his hand.
Instantly, everyone's pupils contracted violently.
The higher-ups from the Heavenly Purity Sect, Ancient Phoenix Sect, Golden Ancient City, and Soul Hunting Hall's eyes exploded with cold light.
When they clearly saw the faces of those heads, their faces turned pale, their eyes turned black, and they staggered, almost falling to the ground.
"Your Qilins are making a grand finale entrance; catch them well."
Jun Wuxie casually threw the four heads toward the higher-ups from the Heavenly Purity Sect, Ancient Phoenix Sect, Golden Ancient City, and Soul Hunting Hall.
The entire area of the Bronze Ancient Hall was silent.
The higher-ups from the various factions narrowed their pupils to two points, held their breath, and stared intently at the four heads, their faces filled with horror.
