Chapter 125 : Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Huh? You Never Asked!

【Seeing Zi You like that, you felt a little uneasy. You were afraid that she would charge forward and risk her life without another word.】

【“What is it, Little Junior Brother?”】

【Suppressing the battle intent in her heart, Zi You looked at you in confusion.】

【You pointed at the Taixu Sword in your hand, then at the barrier behind you.】

【“There’s no need to risk our lives, Senior Sister. The Taixu Sword might be able to break the barrier.”】

【Upon hearing that, a Bizarre light flashed through Zhuge Qing’s eyes.】

【Zhuge Qing told Zi You that he also thought there was hope. Right now, the only thing they needed to do was protect you while you broke the barrier.】

【Zi You glanced at the Chaos Bell in her hand and agreed with Zhuge Qing’s idea.】

【Suddenly!】

【You discovered that the Ancestor of Great Qi had launched an attack at you, and it was the power of laws.】

【You had already witnessed the might of the power of laws back in Xuanzhou. Below the Tribulation Stage, one had virtually no power to resist it.】

【However, the power of laws wielded by the Ancestor of Great Qi gave you the feeling that it was incomplete, more like the embryonic form of laws.】

【Faced with that kind of power of laws, Zi You easily blocked it with the Chaos Bell.】

【“Go, Little Junior Brother!”】

【At those words, you gripped the Taixu Sword and unleashed the full power of the True Dragon Treasure Body, driving one strike into the barrier.】

【“What a joke! A mere spirit artifact wants to break this barrier?”】

【Watching what you were doing, the Ancestor of Great Qi revealed a look of disdain.】

【Even the Second Ancestor of Great Qi and the Great Qi Emperor at his side made no move to stop you after seeing what you were doing. Instead, they merely treated you as a joke.】

【After withdrawing his gaze, the Ancestor of Great Qi no longer intended to keep playing around with you. He decisively unleashed a divine power, intending to take all of you down in a single strike.】

【At the barrier!】

【After your full-powered strike just now, you saw a tiny crack appear on the barrier. But while you were still stunned, those cracks began slowly repairing themselves.】

【At that sight, you raised the Taixu Sword and once again stabbed at the barrier with all your strength.】

【Crack!】

【In an instant, under your consecutive attacks, more and more cracks spread across the barrier, and waves of shattering sounds rang out.】

【Seeing that the moment had come, you shouted to Zi You,】

【“Senior Sister! Go, now!”】

【Before the words had even fully left your mouth, you gripped the Taixu Sword and, with the reinforcement of the True Dragon Treasure Body, delivered the final blow to the barrier.】

【Bang!】

【In the next second, the barrier shattered before the disbelieving eyes of the Great Qi Emperor.】

【At your shout, Zi You put away the Chaos Bell and used the Great Void Art, instantly vanishing from the Great Qi Imperial Palace with you and Zhuge Qing.】

【The Ancestor of Great Qi looked on with a livid expression as you disappeared before his eyes.】

【“The Great Void Art?”】

【“There are actually survivors left of the Zi Clan?”】

【“The Zi Clan?”】

【“Ancestor, do you mean that Zi Clan from the ancient era?”】

【The Great Qi Emperor widened his eyes and questioned the Ancestor of Great Qi in disbelief.】

【“If not that Zi Clan, then which Zi Clan could it be?”】

【“Report this matter to the Holy Land!”】

【At the border of the Southern Region of the Central Continent!】

【Zi You fled with the two of you all the way until you arrived near the Desolate Wasteland of Death. Only then did the three of you finally let out a breath of relief.】

【“It’s fine now, Senior Sister. They probably won’t catch up anymore.”】

【Zi You asked whether you had managed to get the Nine Netherworld Grass.】

【You took the Nine Netherworld Grass out of your storage ring, held it in front of Zi You, and smiled.】

【“Good. As long as we got it, then this trip wasn’t in vain.”】

【Next, under Zi You’s stunned gaze, you began taking out one treasure after another.】

【“Senior Sister, this trip really wasn’t wasted!”】

【“You have no idea—the treasury of the Great Qi Empire was packed full of good stuff!”】

【You gave half of those treasures to Zhuge Qing and had him deliver them to your external incarnation and Su Wanqing.】

【As you looked at those treasures, a trace of regret flashed through your eyes.】

【You knew that although you had taken quite a few treasures, the truly precious ones had all still been deeper inside the treasury. You had not had time to take them before it collapsed.】

【Just thinking about how there had been spiritual objects in the Great Qi treasury even more precious than the Nine Netherworld Grass made you feel a pang of regret.】

【Three days later!】

【You all parted ways. Zi You and you prepared to return to Youzhou.】

【On the way back to Youzhou, Zi You asked you whether, among the treasures left behind in the Great Qi treasury, there had been any spiritual object with an extreme yang attribute.】

【You briefly recalled the scene at the time, then shook your head.】

【Two months later!】

【Zi You returned to the Sword Pavilion, while you went straight to the Blood Demon Secret Realm.】

【After entering the Blood Demon Secret Realm, you handed the Nine Netherworld Grass to Xuanyuan Tianji and asked whether it could serve as the extreme yin material for the Yin-Yang Twinborn Grand Array.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji merely glanced at the Nine Netherworld Grass in her hand before tossing it right back to you.】

【“The age is passable, but if you want to refine the Primordial Spirit of an immortal, this is still not enough!”】

【“This still isn’t enough?”】

【You had never expected that the Nine Netherworld Grass you had fought so hard to seize—an extreme yin object for which you had nearly thrown away your life—would still fall short.】

【You told Xuanyuan Tianji that this Nine Netherworld Grass was already the finest extreme yin object you could find in the Canglan Realm.】

【You then asked Xuanyuan Tianji whether there was any other solution.】

【“Of course there is!”】

【At that, you looked at Xuanyuan Tianji in surprise. You had not expected that she really did have another method.】

【“Sister Tianji! If you had a solution, you should have said so earlier. Then I wouldn’t have had to risk my life stealing the Nine Netherworld Grass.”】

【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that she did have a way to solve the problem of the Nine Netherworld Grass being insufficiently effective, but it still required the use of the Nine Netherworld Grass.】

【You hurriedly asked Xuanyuan Tianji what that method was.】

【“All you need to do is add a Nine Revolutions Soul-Refining Grand Array on top of the Yin-Yang Twinborn Grand Array.”】

【“Huh?”】

【“It’s that simple?”】

【“Sister Tianji, why didn’t you say so earlier?”】

【You had never expected that Xuanyuan Tianji’s solution would simply be to add another formation.】

【“You never asked!”】

【“Since you didn’t ask, I assumed you could find a perfect extreme yin object.”】

【You immediately asked Xuanyuan Tianji whether the requirements for setting up the Nine Revolutions Soul-Refining Grand Array would be just as harsh as those of the Yin-Yang Twinborn Grand Array.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji shook her head and told you that the Yin-Yang Twinborn Grand Array was used to suppress the Primordial Spirit while slowly refining it, whereas the Nine Revolutions Soul-Refining Grand Array was different.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that the Nine Revolutions Soul-Refining Grand Array refined the Primordial Spirit somewhat faster, but it could not suppress it. Because of that, it was very easy for someone with a powerful Primordial Spirit to break it from within.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that the most crucial point was that the Nine Revolutions Soul-Refining Grand Array only required spirit stones to set up. The conditions were extremely simple.】

【“Spirit stones?”】

【The moment you heard that it only required spirit stones, your eyes lit up.】

【You asked Xuanyuan Tianji whether combining the two arrays would lower the requirement for the extreme yang object as well.】

【“What are you thinking?”】

【“No matter how much lower it gets, it still can’t be below the level of the Nine Netherworld Grass!”】
