Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 935 Taichu Slaying Demon Spear
Wang Chen could be absolutely certain, the spearhead engraved with the character "Zhū" was definitely no ordinary treasure.
Even in the Haotian Realm, it would be the same!
It was known that magic artifacts bearing the character "Zhū" typically had a tremendous origin, such as the Sword of Slaying Immortals, the Bow of Slaying Gods, the Seal of Slaying Demons, and so on, all of which were famously known as Spirit Treasure Taoist implements.
Wang Chen himself possessed a potent Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net, which had aided him in exterminating who knows how many Evil Wraiths and strange beasts.
What Wang Chen was curious about was what exactly this "Zhū" on the spear signified!
The spearhead was merely a part of a long spear, even if the most important part, it still required a matching shaft.
Using the Qiling Spear was merely a temporary solution. Wang Chen could clearly feel that this spearhead possessed immense power, yet for some reason, it was in an incredibly weakened state.
Wang Chen infused copious amounts of Life Qi, but it had little effect on it, failing to stimulate its potential.
Perhaps it needed Spiritual Energy?
Wang Chen pondered, placing the long spear on the table.
No sooner had his hand left the Qiling Spear than the "Zhū" character spearhead fell silent, ceasing to glow.
After some thought, Wang Chen took out a Demon Pearl from his storage space.
This piece of spoils of war was also very conscious, deserving of a thorough examination, as it might prove to be very useful to him.
Unexpectedly to Wang Chen, as soon as he took out the Demon Pearl, the "Zhū" character spearhead on the table suddenly emitted a crimson light.
Immediately after, the Demon Pearl in his hand began to glow as well.
The two actually resonated with each other!
Wang Chen’s eyes flashed, and he promptly placed the Demon Pearl on the spearhead to see what would happen.
Before the Demon Pearl could touch the dark golden spearhead, the latter’s emitted crimson light suddenly transformed into slender tentacles that instantly wrapped around the Demon Pearl.
It forcefully snatched it away from Wang Chen’s hand!
Wang Chen didn’t even have time to react when a blinding light burst open before him, turning his field of vision into a blank white, unable to see anything.
When his vision returned, the Qiling Spear was still on the table, and the spearhead showed no sign of abnormality.
But the precious Demon Pearl had vanished without a trace.
And it had disappeared completely, not even a single fragment remained!
Wang Chen was utterly speechless—he had been hoping to exchange the Demon Pearl for some high-quality cultivation resources.
And now...
Had it been consumed by the "Zhū" character spearhead?
Recalling the scene that just unfolded, Wang Chen, with a furrowed brow, picked up the Qiling Spear again and lightly stroked the tip with his hand.
Despite his care, the sharpness of the "Zhū" character spearhead was beyond imagination, and a bloodline promptly appeared on his thumb.
A drop of fresh blood seeped out, immediately absorbed cleanly by the "Zhū" character spearhead!
Simultaneously, Wang Chen’s mind was jolted.
He sensed a strange connection between his Divine Soul consciousness and the spear in his hand, more precisely, with the "Zhū" character spearhead, which was very similar to the situation of cultivating a Magic Artifact.
Not only that, but the "Zhū" character spearhead also conveyed a great deal of information to Wang Chen.
Since Wang Chen’s consciousness suddenly received the "assault" of the information flow, it took him the time of an incense stick burning to come back to his senses, and he barely digested the feedback from the "Zhū" character spearhead!
Just as Wang Chen had previously surmised, this "Zhū" character spearhead was indeed from the Haotian Realm.
As for which great cultivator had brought it down, Wang Chen obtained no information, but he could affirm that this spearhead was part of the Taichu Slaying Demon Spear!
The other parts were the shaft, the tassel, and the spear butt, but their whereabouts were unknown.
Only when the spear blade, shaft, tassel, and spear butt were recombined could the Taichu Slaying Demon Spear’s full power truly be unleashed!
Among the information that Wang Chen had obtained, the most plentiful and important was a set of spear techniques.
As Wang Chen sorted through this information, a series of lifelike images began to form in his mind.
A martial artist with an indistinct face had demonstrated this set of Demon-Slaying Spear Technique to him, in full detail!
The Liaoyuan Spear Technique that Wang Chen had previously learned and mastered could be considered a breed of military combat skills. However, when compared to the Demon-Slaying Spear Technique, it was entirely crude and inferior; the two were not even on the same level!
Of course, the Demon-Slaying Spear Technique could only unleash one hundred percent of its power when used in conjunction with the Taichu Slaying Demon Spear.
Wang Chen speculated that the person who had brought the Taichu Slaying Demon Spear and this set of techniques into the Cangqing Domain was very likely the original master of the Underwater Cave Abode.
This grand cultivator not only built the Transmission Array to the Cangqing Domain, but he had also left his mark in this world.
It’s just that the merciless passage of time had buried many secrets, and Wang Chen needed to keep digging to uncover them.
Once the entire Taichu Slaying Demon Spear was assembled, there might be a huge surprise in store!
Clutching the Qiling Spear, Wang Chen felt his luck was genuinely good. Who would have thought that on his first solo mission, he would encounter such an opportunity.
It was as if fate had predetermined that he would obtain the Taichu Slaying Demon Spear!
Wang Chen’s thoughts stirred, and he summoned the panel to glance at it.
[Fate: 20]
Could it be that an increase in his fate had led to such a fortuitous encounter?
Next morning, Wang Chen spoke with the old Village Chief for nearly half a two-hour period, repeatedly inquiring about the process by which the latter had originally acquired the spearhead of the Demon-Slaying Spear.
The tightly cornered Village Chief was utterly forthright, almost to the point of spilling everything, even the incident of his youth when he had peeped at the widow next door bathing.
Wang Chen finally let the old man go after he was sure that he could extract no further useful information from him.
In reality, the matter concerning Zhang Shitou couldn’t entirely be blamed on the other party.
Wang Chen estimated that the annihilation of Zhang Shitou’s family was most likely a trap laid by the Hidden Dragon Hall specifically for him.
Moreover, inside the Linjiang Defense Area, there was undoubtedly a mole from the Hidden Dragon Hall!
The depth of the collusion between the Hidden Dragon Hall and the demons, however, was much more than he had expected.
The courts and the Martial World, the Rebel Faction and Heretical Sects, humans and demons; there’s no doubt that this world is extremely complex. To conquer the entire world and obtain the source essence of the world would definitely not be an easy task.
Wang Chen felt that he had only just taken the first step of a journey of a thousand miles.
"The path is obstructed and long, travel will bring one to the destination, unwavering perseverance, the future holds promise!"
He gave a few warnings to the old Village Chief and then, taking his earnings with him, mounted the Yellow Fatty Horse and returned to Linjiang City.
Back at the Linjiang Defense Area, Wang Chen went straight to see the General Flag, Pang Tai. freēnovelkiss.com
"This, this is..."
Upon seeing the head of the Bloodthirsty Demon that Wang Chen had brought out, Pang Tai’s eyes widened more than a bull’s: "Bloodthirsty Demon?"
Wang Chen nodded, "That should be it."
By procedure, he could only claim his achievements and gain merit through submitting his trophy as proof.
The head was the best evidence of his battle accomplishment!
"Good, good, good!"
Pang Tai repeated excitedly three times. The General Flag rubbed his hands together and said, "Wang Chen, you’ve made a significant contribution this time. I will immediately report to the Prefecture City to recognize your merit!"
The Bloodthirsty Demon was a mid-to-high-tier demon, and slaying one was worth at least one major merit.
And as Wang Chen’s direct superior, Pang Tai would also receive some share of the accolades.
