Chapter 204 - Refining Fang Blade

Then I will bring Chun’er and the others to the dragon race today, when I’m away, the territorial affairs shall be handed over to Yuchi.

Zhong Yue said smilingly, “Yuchi, you know of my rules?”

Yuchi Li nodded, ‘Long Yue’ had a wild ambition to ascend to a god, she had heard of the rumor that the humans in ‘Long Yue’’s territory were considered his personal wealth, worshipping him as their gods while he forbade the other monster Qi Practitioners from entering to eat them in his territory.

‘Long Yue’ had already killed a few monster Qi Practitioners over this rule.

“As for when I will return from this trip ... that is still an uncertainty. It’ll be at least three months and at most half a year. If you encounter any irresolvable difficulties, you will go and seek help from City Lord Gu Hongzi, he will aid in solving the problems.”

Zhong Yue instructed her, then he took plum wood totem pillar that substituted him and hid it in his Yuan Shen secret realm. He then brought Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, the four ladies away from his Falcon Ridge, he said to Yuchi Li who was sending them off, “One more thing, you’ve destroyed my Master Monastery, so I will be expecting to see a new palace by the time I return.”

“Yes, my lord.” Yuchi Li bowed and said, she then sent them off with her eyes.

“Chun’er, you all don’t have surnames yet, am I right?”

The Gu Xia City has came into their vicinity, Zhong Yue suddenly thought of something, he turned to the four young ladies and said smilingly, “Why don’t you four follow my surname as ‘Long’, then when you four have achieved something great in the future, all of you will have a decent name and won’t sound like four servants but four female Qi Practitioners.”

The ladies startled, Chun’er blinked her eyes as her heart slowly bloomed, “Long Chun’er, Long Xia’er, Long Qiu’er, Long Dong’er — these names are incredible, people that don’t know us might even mistake us as dragon girls!”

The other three ladies were overjoyed as they continued to softly mumble their new names to themselves. Their hearts were filled with gratitude towards Zhong Yue; people like them who were raised to be medicinal pellets at risk of getting devoured at anytime. Never once would they have thought that they would have real names of their own!

Zhong Yue gave them his surname, meaning that their statues were nothing like before anymore, they were not the little human servants that only had names but no surnames.

I’ve brought out Chun’er and the girls, the territory is now in the hands of Yuchi Li alone, and along with Senior Martial Brother Gu Hongzi aiding from the side, the territory will still be working fine, but this will not last for long. My territory will continue to expand as the days goes by. And it seems like Senior Martial Brother Gu Hongzi has the intention to pass over Gu Xia City to me, I need to have more men, just Chun’er and the other girls wouldn’t be able to sufficiently manage the Gu Xia City and all its lands....

Zhong Yue thought to himself, he could not go to the humans to ask for help, or his identity would surely be exposed; and he could not allow the dragon race to send over more dragons either, otherwise he would be willingly inviting predators into his own house.

Monsters will work fine in handling the territorial affairs, but the crux lies in their interests in eating humans, I don’t want the humans under my wings to be eaten away by my own subordinates….

He sighed, Gu Hongzi took in monster subordinates and ruled the monsters, he never cared for the humans who were eaten in Gu Xia City’s territorial land. After all, he was a half-blood of human and monster, his childhood experience gave him a bad impression towards both the monster race and human race, causing him to be indifferent to either of them regardless.

The only tie that linked him to the human race was the Swords Gate headmaster.

But Zhong Yue was different, his heart burned for humanity, hence, it would be very much harder for him to find a solution.

In the Gu Xia City, Gu Hongzi and Zhong Yue sat down, they dismissed their servants and Gu Hongzi asked right away, “Junior Martial Brother Zhong, is Elder Shui really dead?”

Zhong Yue hesitated, he shook his head, “I can’t tell for sure whether or not Elder Shui is dead, but the odds of him feigning his death are bigger.”

Gu Hongzi heaved a breath of relief, rays flashed in his eyes as he said, “That said, he is faking his death. Did the headmaster know about it?”

Zhong Yue answered smilingly, “He should know, or otherwise he would not spit out blood.”

Gu Hongzi was between laughter and tears, he shook his head and said, “He is dying, weak like a candle in the windstorm and yet he dares to spit so much blood, what a playful heart he has there. Hadn't the slightest worry of worsening his body crossed his mind? Junior martial brother, you need to be cautious in your trip to the dragon race, they are strong and ambitious, their vast ocean has now become too small for their wild desire to conquer. The relations between the forces and affiliates in the dragon race are intricate, the infighting there is way more intense. There will be no one looking after you in the dragon race, a lone man like you can only rely on yourself.”

Zhong Yue thanked him and asked him to look over at his territory, Gu Hongzi nodded and said, “Right now, you have two identities, the arts and skills of Long Yue and the arts and skills of Zhong Yue; you need to be mindful of your identity and the skills you use lest you incite suspicion.”

Zhong Yue’s heart stiffened up, he nodded and thanked Gu Hongzi before leaving and heading towards Kong Saint City with the four ladies.

Senior Martial Brother Gu Hongzi is right, Zhong Yue and Long Yue need to have different art and skills, even their soul weapons need to be different. The【Monster God Ming King Art】, the Jiao Dragon totems and Xiang Dragon totems will be left to Long Yue; while my true identity, Zhong Yue will only use the Swords Gate skills and arts like the Sword Cocoon sword silk array formation and the【Great Boundless Sword QI】. As for Yuan Shen, I can use the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen while Long Yue will use the eight-armed monster god Ming King as a cover, the others can only see the eight-armed Ming King but they wouldn’t know what my Yuan Shen will be. But in the saint city, I’ve cast the Golden Crow’s skills before ….

Zhong Yue calculated in his heart, I need to be more cautious from today onwards, it’s best to avoid using the Golden Crow sills. My Yuan Shen has two forms, one was the Star Toad and the other the Golden Crow, but it actually has a third form — the eight-armed Ming King, the Sun Moon Twin Spirit that hides in the eyes and morphs into the form of the monster god Ming King. From now onwards, Long Yue will use the Star Toad Yuan Shen along with the eight-armed Ming King, so that the world will not know the true forms of my Yuan Shen, while my true identity, Zhong Yue will cast the Golden Crow Yuan Shen without hiding.

When he was at the saint city, he hadn’t shown anyone his Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen, but he had indeed used the skills of the Great Sun Golden Crow, only Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei saw his Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen in the Black Mountain secret realm.

Even so, the two monster Qi Practitioners would not simply blurt it out, but there was after all, a possibility that they would.

It was the first time Long Chun’er, Long Qiu’er and the other ladies left the Gu Xia City; along the way, they have been looking around everywhere in curiosity, taking great interests in everything. They would oftentimes run over to something that was particularly interesting to take a better look.

While Zhong Yue seemed like he was taking a leisurely stroll through a park. He left them to their own devices and walked towards Xian Kong Saint City. While the girls would often run a few miles out to look around and come back to him afterwards.

It was a fun and relaxing time along the way with the girls accompanying him.

However, in his psyche ocean, Zhong Yue did not stop and rest at all. Instead, he had been refining the Fang Blade and the godly bone. He had forged them into one and started engraving totem patterns on it.

His psyche had been cultivated to the stage of the lightning pool, he was now capable of engraving his own markings onto the godly bone. Although the marks were still shallow, as long as he persisted, he would eventually leave down his own totem pattern on it in the future.

In his psyche ocean, the Fang Blade’s blade tip was facing down piercing into the ocean that shone in golden lightning. One after another, Jiao Dragons soared around the Fang Blade, roaring and blasting the flames of the sun onto the Fang Blade, burning it red-hot!

Zi——

All of a sudden, the Fang Blade was wholly immersed into the psyche ocean, huge clouds of white steam billowed out as the blade cooled down.Then, it rose above the ocean surface again and underwent refinement from the Jiao Dragons.

Abruptly, a Jiao Dragon rammed and disappeared into the Blade Fang, leaving only a shallow and nearly unnoticeable Jiao Dragon totem pattern on it. Other than the dragon totems, Zhong Yue also instilled some Great Sun Golden Crow totem patterns with the Jiao Dragon totem patterns, forming them into the Fire Jiao totem patterns, increasing the Fang Blade’s power.

As more and more Jiao Dragons gushed over, ramming into the Fang Blade, the dragon totem patterns became clearer and clearer.

After all these days of refinements, more and more dragon totem patterns were engraved on the Fang Blade, gradually increasing its power; there were dragon scales appearing on the back and body of the blade as if they were the blade’s natural skins.

Zhong Yue caressed it, he could feel a thorny sensation from the dragon scales as if they were real.

“You refinements are still insufficient even after this one month, you need to forge it into the state of incorporeal – that is when your soul weapon would be completely refined.”

In his psyche ocean, Xin Huo spoke to Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen, “Wait until the day when you cast the Fang Blade into the air. It will turn into a ferocious Fire Jiao Dragon that soars in the sky, that is when your soul weapon can be considered to be at the peak.”

“Turning into a Fire Jiao Dragon?”

Zhong Yue was stunned, he asked puzzlingly, “Xin Huo, can a soul weapon really do that? The Fang Blade is a saber made of godly bone, how can it even turn into a Fire Jiao Dragon?”

“When the soul weapon reaches to a profound state, the whole soul weapon is formed by the totem patterns; when you cast it, the soul weapon will disintegrate into the tiniest form of totem patterns and the shape it was in would be no more. You’ve seen that Fang Jiange’s sword ray right? His soul weapon is at such a state of profundity that you can’t identify its original material, only the purest and strongest Sword Qi sword ray is left behind.”

Xin Huo continued, “That sword, the material it is forged from will not be any more inferior than your Fang Blade’s godly bone. From my experience, it should have been forged from a shattered fragment of a broken godly weapon. However, he has refined it for a very long time, even the tiniest particles of his soul weapon have been engraved with the totem patterns. Hence, all you can see was a ray of sword light. Among the four Swords Gate successors, his Sword Qi is the purest. As for you, your refinement on the Fang Blade is still far away from allowing it to extricate it from its original form.”

“I see.”

Zhong Yue said smilingly, “I’m even struggling to engrave the totem patterns on the surface of the Fang Blade, I wonder when I will be like him.”

Xin Huo answered with a smile, “You can’t be considered as slow with your speed now, for the dragon scales to emerge on the Fang Blade, it means that you have engraved the totem patterns to a certain level. For now, it is more than enough for you to cast the Fang Blade in the battles; continue on refining it and one day, you will be like Fang Jiange! Work hard, young man of the Fuxi Celestial Race!”

Zhong Yue was overjoyed, he quickly asked, “Xin Huo, with my current rate now, how much longer will it take?”

Xin Huo pondered deeply, and answered, “Around fifty years or so.”

Zhong Yue’s face darkened, he tossed the little flame away and concentrated back onto refining the Fang Blade.

“The estimation of fifty years is based on your current cultivation base now, if your cultivation base advances into the higher levels, of course it’ll be faster.”

Xin Huo said insouciantly, “If you are in the level of Heavenly Dharma, you would probably only spend a month or two to do it.”

Zhong Yue thought, and said, “The higher the cultivation base, the faster the refining speed of the soul weapons, it makes sense. If taking in consideration of my increase in cultivation base, I’ll probably take less than ten years to do it … oh yes, Long Yue has the Fang Blade as the soul weapon, so what should I use for Zhong Yue?”

Zhong Yue leisurely strolled towards the Xian Kong Saint City, and unknowingly how, words were spreaded out throughout the land of East Barren, “Long Yue is out of the Gu Xia City!”

“As Shi Buyi is now in a closed-door training, he won’t have much time to intervene in. To those who have hatreds against Long Yue, now is the time to act!”
