Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 569: You Have True Fire Within You

"The raw material of an Emperor Weapon is very important; it determines the direction of the Emperor Weapon..." the Elder said in a deep voice. "This is the case with the Dragon Spring Sword from the Ancient Country."

Dragon Spring Sword.

As its name suggests, it was forged from a piece of dragon bone, which was then immersed in the Dragon Veins of the Ancient Country, washed over and over, day after day, year after year...

After a lengthy process of Body Refining, it was tempered by many powerful figures from the royal family of the Ancient Country, who dedicated their heart and soul for a long time, before slowly giving birth to a God—the dragon spirit within the sword.

Of course, the initial Dragon Spring Sword was far from reaching such heights and was merely a Sacred Soldier.

It was not until an Emperor from the Ancient Country achieved Tao Verification, elevated the sword with the aura of a Great Emperor, and dyed it with Emperor Blood—consecrating it for several hundred years—that it finally achieved Tao Verification to become an Emperor Weapon.

The process sounds simple, but in reality, the Tao Verification of the Dragon Spring Sword, as recorded in the annals of the Ancient Country, involved many difficulties.

These difficulties are beyond the imagination of outsiders.

The Elder spoke, "Forged from dragon bone, consecrated by the Ancient Country, and finally, by that Emperor who achieved Tao Verification himself, completing the last step by taking the Dragon Spring Sword into the Heavenly Dao catastrophe."

"Therefore, the Dragon Spring Sword is the lifeline of the Ancient Country... It does not belong to any individual, nor to that Emperor."

"This is completely different from the Heaven Tao Divine Weapons from the Star Sea."

Oh?

Chen Pingping frowned. "What’s the difference?"

The Elder thought for a moment, then said, "The Dragon Spring Sword carries the lifeline of the Ancient Country, as well as the Dragon Veins and the Fate Energy. The longer it exists, the stronger it will become. The Heaven Tao Divine Weapon from the Star Sea was forged by a Great Emperor and evolved from his Destiny God Weapon. After achieving Tao Verification as a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon, it was left in the Star Sea, becoming the foundation of the Star Sea. Over time, this Heaven Tao Divine Weapon will inevitably lose some of its Divinity, and its combat power will also diminish."

"I’ve heard that Fairy Valley once had a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon, so why is it gone now?"

"Actually... the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon from Fairy Valley was broken from the start. It was never complete, and even if it revived, it could not reach such heights. However, because of Yu Changfeng’s remarkable strength, this Sect was able to grow into a superpower." Mentioning this, he couldn’t help but glance at Chen Pingping.

What used to be a superpower is now gone, thanks to your trickery, isn’t it?

But from what Chen Pingping said, it seems he hasn’t gotten his hands on the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon from Fairy Valley!

Such a Divine Weapon, even if damaged and incomplete, is still of incredible value.

Chen Pingping further inquired, "Doesn’t Yu Changfeng have a Quasi-Emperor Weapon in his hands? He’s attempted Tao Verification several times and has failed every time. I want to know what’s special about that Divine Weapon?"

Years ago, he had stolen Yu Changfeng’s ancient cauldron.

He had been conducting research on it ever since, without any clue.

Furthermore, he had tried to activate it multiple times to no avail.

Despite trying many methods, nothing worked...

Later, when he met Yu Changfeng, in just an hour, he couldn’t count how many times Yu Changfeng had nagged him to return the Divine Weapon.

Moreover, that ancient cauldron was not Yu Changfeng’s Destiny God Weapon.

Why was he so anxious about it?

Thus, Chen Pingping speculated that the ancient cauldron wasn’t an item from this dynasty, but from another world.

The Elder’s expression became serious. "He succeeded."

"Hmm?"

Chen Pingping’s heart trembled.

He Yitian, at his side, also showed a look of surprise.

The Elder continued, "Regarding the origin of the ancient cauldron, many people might have guessed already. It does not belong to this world... and at the same time, it is the most special Heaven Tao Divine Weapon."

"What do you mean by that?"

"It was originally a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon. Its God took form and separated from its main body, hence it fell from the ranks of the Heavenly Dao and became a Quasi-Emperor Weapon..." the Elder explained. "Yu Changfeng is well aware of this, so he wants to reconstruct the ancient cauldron’s God, yet someone has always intervened." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Who?"

"I’m not quite sure," the Elder shook his head. "The material of the ancient cauldron is very special. It doesn’t seem to be a single material, nor is it the bone of some ferocious demon. It is more like a gust of ’Qi’."

"Qi?" Chen Pingping’s eyes widened.

"Yes!" he nodded. "As for what kind of Qi, I don’t know."

He paused before adding, "The structure of this ancient cauldron is most peculiar, due to the uniqueness of the original materials... It contains many mysteries that remain unsolved to this day."

There’s more to it?

Chen Pingping regretted his haste in returning it to Yu Changfeng. Had he first inquired with the elders of the He Family, he might have gained some insights.

"The original material determines the direction of an Emperor Weapon, as well as its capabilities, which are equivalent to its foundation. The God is the soul of an Emperor Weapon. Its strength and weakness are crucial to whether the Emperor Weapon can unleash its full potential upon revival. The relationship between the two is very subtle. Next..." he began to explain the structure of Emperor Weapons, covering every aspect. The two listeners beside him listened quietly, without interruption.

A very long time passed. The He Family Elder spoke for an unknown duration, until he finally recounted all he knew about the theory of Emperor Weapons.

Chen Pingping took a deep breath and gave his thanks with a bow. "Thank you, Elder, for resolving my doubts."

The Elder shook his head. "The student surpasses the master. I have high hopes for you."

"Uh..." Chen Pingping chuckled awkwardly. "I’m currently studying the theory in this area. As for practice, it might take some time."

"Young man, you needn’t hide anything. You have offended the Demon Emperor, who wants to kill you. Now, you’ve come to inquire about the structure of Emperor Weapons, undoubtedly hoping to forge a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon. It’s your only chance," the Elder narrowed his eyes. "But... no Heaven Tao Divine Weapon can easily come into this world; it will be a difficult process."

He saw right through him.

He did not reject Chen Pingping for offending the Demon Emperor, nor did he ridicule Chen Pingping’s "dream."

After all, forging a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon was his dream, as well as that of the entire He Family.

Then, he turned to look at He Yitian. "If you really intend to act, please take Yitian with you. He has a strand of True Fire within him that can aid you."

Chen Pingping: "???"

"The God Transformation Skill is just one aspect. The most precious thing about He Yitian is the True Fire within his body; this strand of Heavenly Fire comes from beyond this realm," he said.

"How come I didn’t know that?" He Yitian was astounded.

"How could you?" The Elder rolled his eyes. "Between Divinity Transformation and True Fire, you chose the former. Naturally, the True Fire receded. Had you not met Daoist Chen, you would never have known in this lifetime."

"..." He Yitian simply closed his mouth.

Chen Pingping stood up. "Then, I thank you again, Elder."

The Elder waved his sleeve nonchalantly. "My friend, I too was once young and know the desires of the heart... In truth, the challenges you are facing are just that—challenges. They’re not insurmountable."

"I will remember your words."

"Go!" The He Family Elder said no more.

What needed to be said, he had said. What shouldn’t have been said, he had also said.

How Chen Pingping would proceed and whether he could succeed... honestly, he had no confidence to speculate, and instinctively felt that Chen Pingping was insane; it was impossible for him to succeed.

In the lengthy years of cultivation, no one had ever stood at the level of Lord or the Saint Realm and managed to forge a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon.

Especially not in such a short timeframe.

After the two left, a steward below couldn’t help but speak up, "You should have stopped them."

The elder chuckled lightly. "Don’t you think this is a rare opportunity?"

The steward was startled. "???"

"He needs a chance, and our He Family needs it too..." The elder lifted his head. "We’ve waited far too long. I don’t know if the He Family truly has the ability to forge it, but I... I don’t want to wait any longer."

"Great Elder, you?" The crowd below gasped, suddenly coming to their senses.

The elder lifted the corners of his mouth. "Our He Family has tempered the God for so many years; it’s time it graced the world."

They exclaimed, "The True Fire within Yitian... Is that the God?"
