Chapter 414: Chapter 233: Forced onto Jiushan, Demon Ancestor Descends onto the World_3
“I, as a cultivator of the Holy Sect, abide by the will of the Saint Ancestor; where does this notion of control come from?”
Blood River Ancestor said, his face showing complete loyalty to the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor.
“So, your Lifebound Spiritual Treasure developed its own spiritual wisdom and wants to escape the Demon Ancestor’s control… You are frightened, aren’t you?”
“…”
Blood River Ancestor stopped smiling.
He looked at Zheng Fa, his ethereal form trembling, as if these words struck more fear in him than the power of the Sun and Moon Clock.
Zhang was watching him, her face filled with confusion, also unable to understand why Zheng Fa made such an assumption.
“…Sister, Lifebound Magical Treasures, or rather Spiritual Treasures, indeed have spiritual wisdom. In the Tianhe spell, it is where one’s self is stored,” Zheng Fa explained his thoughts.
“Blood River Master…” Zheng Fa gave Blood River Ancestor a slight smile, very amiable, but Blood River Ancestor looked as if he had seen a ghost.
“The cultivation of Demon Sect’s Skill tends to prioritize obedience to the Demon Ancestor. If Blood River Master’s Dharma Body had not been destroyed by Quiet Bamboo, he would be unharmed. But now that he has lost his Dharma Body, the spiritual wisdom within this flying sword remains intact. Now, it’s actually becoming more dominant, with the will of the Spiritual Treasure taking precedence.”
With each word spoken by Zheng Fa,
Blood River Ancestor’s phantom trembled.
Clearly, this time he wasn’t pretending to be scared.
He was genuinely frightened.
“How… did you find out?”
He looked at Zheng Fa, his eyes no longer filled with haughtiness, but rather with horror.
Clearly… this was his deepest secret,
Zheng Fa pointed to the flying sword, smiling, “It told me.”
Previously when the Positive and Negative Five Elements Divine Light swept over the flying sword, he had a peculiar sensation:
The flying sword seemed to be communicating with him, or rather, conveying a message.
He initially thought it was a trick by Blood River Ancestor, but after careful reflection, he discovered it was filled with dissatisfaction towards the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor.
He wasn’t sure if the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor recognized this as a trick…
Especially after seeing that Blood River Ancestor indeed wanted another hit from Jiang Chengkong, he became even more certain of the authenticity of this information.
This improvement, whether it was because this was the first time Zheng Fa used the Positive and Negative Five Elements Divine Light against a Spiritual Treasure, or because he had grasped a bit of the essence of the Five Elements Spell, facilitated the advancement of this Divine Skill.
But indeed, it brought an unexpected joy to Zheng Fa.
Zhang knitted her brows, seemingly understanding something, “Are you saying that the will within this Spiritual Treasure, is like the true self of Blood River Ancestor? Wanting to resist the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor?”
“My true self?” Blood River Ancestor shouted angrily, “What do you mean by my true self? It’s a fool!”
“Escape from the Saint Ancestor?”
“The divine might of the Saint Ancestor is like a prison; how could I harbor such thoughts of seeking death!”
“This Blood God Sword, clearly devoid of consciousness, only hates that I am trapped within it!”
Zheng Fa and Zhang exchanged glances, more certain in their hearts:
Although they didn’t know the mechanics of Divinity Transformation according to the Demon Sect’s teachings.
But it seemed like Blood River Ancestor had been tricked by artificial stupidity…
To put it simply, this flying sword had gone astray… no, had shifted towards liberalism.
It was clear that Blood River Ancestor had not considered betraying the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, clearly still very lucid.
After finishing these words, Blood River Ancestor’s face turned gloomy as dark water, obviously more dissatisfied with his own Blood God Sword than Zheng Fa and the others were.
Afterwards, no matter what Zheng Fa said, he remained silent.
It seemed he was afraid that Zheng Fa might uncover something else — after all, Zheng Fa had bizarrely seen through his deepest secret…
Now, he had to admit, he increasingly understood why the Saint Ancestor valued this person.
On the other hand, he was also convinced that Zheng Fa had no means to deal with him, unafraid and unwilling to cooperate.
Master Pang and others were frowning.
Elder Yuan came over, thought for a moment, and said, “Let’s still invite Master Cheng Kong. Even if he is freed… without his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, Blood River poses no threat to the Jiushan Realm.”
Zheng Fa nodded slightly, thinking this proposal was reasonable:
Though letting Blood River Ancestor go was a bit of a loss.
But placing him in the Jiushan Realm, it indeed had become a hidden danger — especially when they didn’t know what the Great Freedom Demon Sect intended to do in Chen County.
He didn’t speak, just sat on the ground, recovering his Mana.
Previously using the Sun and Moon Clock, his energy consumption had been not trivial.
Zhang and the others didn’t know what he intended to do, just stared at Blood River Ancestor, preventing him from making any rash moves.
After a while, Zheng Fa stood up, gently nodded towards Blood River Ancestor, his expression even more amiable.
“What are you planning to do…”
Zheng Fa didn’t let him finish, a beam of Positive and Negative Five Elements Divine Light swooshed out, heading straight for the flying sword.
This time, he could truly sense — his understanding of the Positive and Negative Five Elements Divine Light had deepened by a level; he even vaguely felt as though he was scanning the structure of this flying sword…
Could this Divine Skill actually advance?
If he could scan the structure of this flying sword, wouldn’t he be able to scan other Magical Treasures as well?
This would be hugely beneficial for constructing his own Lifebound Magical Treasure in the future!
As for why this advancement occurred, Zheng Fa thought, it was probably due to his understanding of the Five Elements Spell and spiritual material — this also indirectly proved that some of his ideas were indeed correct!
But due to his doubts about the Wood Element Spell, this understanding was still somewhat vague.
As the multicolored light swept over the flying sword, Blood River Ancestor’s face changed dramatically, and after a moment, even his eyes had shifted.
Zhang and others watched this phantom curiously.
This new Blood River Ancestor seemed a bit bewildered, looking at Zhang and the others with a wary gaze.
Master Pang had a thought and suddenly spoke up, “Blood River Master… once Master Cheng Kong arrives, he will surely erase the spirit of this Lifebound Flying Sword…”
