Chapter 270 : Startled Realization!

Chapter 270: Startled Realization!

Before Suo Huan finished speaking, he saw a streak of light suddenly fly out from the 【Earth Fire Heart Furnace】 and reveal a figure after landing in front of the two of them.

The man looked handsome, though young, his temples were already streaked with white.

His demeanor had completely lost the nobility of the past, replaced by a touch of maturity and steadiness.

As soon as he appeared, he respectfully bowed to Suo Huan.

“Suo Huan Senior, and... a True Person!?”

The man turned his gaze toward Lü Yang standing beside Suo Huan, and immediately froze, showing a look of shock and fear in his eyes as he subconsciously retreated several steps.

Seeing this, Lü Yang let out a hearty laugh.

“So it’s Junior Brother Chongming!”

After saying this, he even stepped forward to pat Chongming on the shoulder.

However, this simple gesture nearly scared Chongming out of his wits.

He stared at Lü Yang with a horrified expression that seemed unable to be put into words.

Who the hell are you?

Get off Senior Brother Yuan Tu’s body right now!

On the other side, Suo Huan also laughed when he saw this.

“Chongming was left by the 【True Lord of Colorful Brocade】 at my side in the past, to assist in communication when necessary.”

This simple statement nearly frightened Chongming out of his senses.

He looked at Suo Huan, thinking that just earlier, Suo Huan had repeatedly warned him not to reveal anything about the True Lord and had even confined him here, forbidding him to wander about.

Yet now, Suo Huan had casually revealed this secret!

Or... was this actually not a big deal?

Chongming looked at Lü Yang, then at Suo Huan.

His previously furrowed brows seemed to be smoothed by an invisible hand, and his expression gradually brightened.

‘I must have been overthinking!’

On the other side, Lü Yang also took it lightly upon hearing this.

The matter of the 【True Lord】 was insignificant to him.

He turned his head and quickly forgot about it.

What mattered more was refining the magical treasure as soon as possible to enhance his strength and then head to the Magnetic Divine Mountain.

“Senior, there’s no time to lose. We still need to go to the Magnetic Divine Mountain. Let’s start the furnace now.”

Prompted by Lü Yang, Suo Huan eagerly nodded.

“Chongming, come over and help me control the furnace. I need to cast the spell to activate the earth fire.”

“.Yes.”

Although Chongming showed a struggling expression when he heard this, his body was honest.

He thought he shouldn’t delay their important journey to the Magnetic Divine Mountain.

Soon, the earth fire was ignited.

The first thing Lü Yang took out was the Abi Sword.

This spiritual sword had been taken from Blood Demon True Person and now contained four divine marvels, truly a rare treasure.

‘Hmm? This is...’

At this moment, Lü Yang suddenly paused.

He noticed that the Abi Sword before him remained bright for some reason, continuously emanating deep blood light.

‘...It seems to be one of Abi Sword’s divine marvels?’

Lü Yang recalled for a moment and felt that it seemed to be called 【Treading Danger】.

He had always thought it was a good divine marvel, and it had even saved his life once.

What was its effect again?

Lü Yang couldn’t quite remember, but he didn’t mind.

Since he couldn’t remember, it probably wasn’t important.

What mattered was to quickly refine the spiritual treasure and head for the Magnetic Divine Mountain.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang stopped dwelling on it.

The Abi Sword fell into the furnace, followed by other spiritual treasures.

Lü Yang didn’t hesitate and, except for the Myriad Spirit Banner, threw all his assets into the furnace.

Only when the furnace was stuffed full with the light of spiritual treasures did he turn to Suo Huan.

“Senior, I’ll trouble you.”

“Rest assured, fellow Daoist!”

Suo Huan laughed heartily, then made a hand seal and pointed.

In an instant, the entire 【Earth Fire Heart Furnace】 shook violently, with thousands of fire veins erupting simultaneously!

Endless fierce flames rolled out from the earth’s core, containing yin evil energy, instantly igniting the entire pill furnace.

Seeing this, Chongming hurriedly channeled all his magical power and pressed down on the furnace, sealing the lid tightly and preventing any of the fiery energy from leaking out.

The next moment, the furnace gradually turned red.

Seeing this, Suo Huan changed his spell.

The vast ocean outside the furnace poured down at once, cooling the furnace while drawing water energy into it.

“Fellow Daoist, this method of mine is no ordinary technique.”

Suo Huan smiled and explained.

“This method is called 【Water and Fire Co-Refinement Art】, and it can only achieve its maximum effect with this 【Earth Fire Heart Furnace】.”

“Your spiritual treasures are numerous, and ordinary methods cannot refine them effectively.”

“Only with this art, aided by both water and fire, with yin and yang combined, can your many treasures be smelted into one without damaging their individual divine marvels.”

Lü Yang’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

“Oh? Is that true?”

“Of course it’s true!”

At this point, Suo Huan’s face suddenly showed a proud expression.

“This is the most exquisite refining technique passed down through the generations in our 【Huān Xū Realm】.”

As he spoke, the sun rose and the moon set.

Under the combined power of water and fire, the treasures inside the furnace had all turned into a swirling mass of five-colored light, their shapes undefined.

“This is the moment!”

Suo Huan looked at Lü Yang and shouted.

“Fellow Daoist, you can now use your essence soul to refine it. Take this opportunity to set the form of your magical treasure so that all divine marvels may merge into one!”

Lü Yang didn’t hesitate when he heard this.

He immediately circulated his divine sense and spat out a radiant ball of bright blood.

The so-called 【Essence Soul】 referred to the essence of blood and soul, not ordinary flesh blood, but the blood of the soul, the purest part of one’s soul.

Going further, this would be the 【Golden Nature】!

As Lü Yang spat out his 【Essence Soul】, his previously vigorous appearance instantly weakened.

His vision darkened, and a wave of weakness surged over him.

However, as the 【Essence Soul】 entered the furnace, Lü Yang quickly felt a sense of connection.

He watched as his 【Essence Soul】 merged with that swirling five-colored light, which finally settled into a form, revealing its true shape—a magical sword radiating profound light!

The latest novel first released on Six Nine Books!

This sword was colored like dark frost, with a dignified form.

Its spine resembled the boundary of the great void, with blade patterns hiding the star map of Heluo.

Its mouth was forged into a Chi dragon biting the clouds, and its guard was engraved with golden script in true decree.

Five colors entwined the hilt, and three holes were inscribed with spirit patterns.

“It’s done!”

With a thought, Lü Yang saw the magical sword in the furnace transform into a streak of lightning and fly out, landing beside him with a pleasant sound of sword thunder.

“An upper-grade spiritual sword... no, it already carries a touch of 【True Intent】!”

Seeing this, Suo Huan also showed a look of joy.

However, in the next moment, this joy gradually stiffened under the sword’s light.

‘...What am I doing?’

At the same time, Lü Yang, holding the sword, also showed a dazed smile, his lips trembling, his expression indescribable.

The next second, both Lü Yang and Suo Huan, who had only been sweating slightly before, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, their clothes instantly drenched.

Even though they had just opened the furnace, with fiery heat pouring out, they both felt bone-deep coldness.

Lü Yang looked at the sword in his hand.

The light flowing over the blade, illuminating both of them and severing the strange influence, was none other than one of the sword’s divine marvels.

【Piercing Clarity】

This divine marvel had been achieved by merging Abi Sword’s 【Treading Danger】 and Celestial Instrument’s 【All-Seeing】, elevating it to an even higher level.

Without it, they would not have seen through the illusion.

“Hoo…”

Lü Yang let out a deep breath.

Gone was the ambition and confidence he had when setting out to sea.

All that remained was deep shock and wariness.

He turned his head to look at Suo Huan.

Suo Huan, likewise drenched in sweat, stiffly turned his neck to look at Lü Yang.

Their gazes met.

Neither dared to speak first.

For a very simple reason.

‘Who knows if that 【Exalted Xiaosky】 is standing right beside me at this very moment!!!’
