Chapter 213: Chapter 64 Opposites
The Azure Sword shattered as if its durability had reached its limit, scattering across the ground.
The scene before Ye Changsheng’s eyes vanished, the memory ending, bringing him back to reality.
He looked at the fragments of the Azure Sword before him, falling into a moment of contemplation.
“What kind of things did this Azure Sword show me?”
Ye Changsheng deduced that these must be the memories of the person who infused the Azure Sword with Sword Intent.
If the memory was accurate, then the person who suppressed the Evil Fire Fierce Phoenix was the white-clothed youth Ye Changsheng saw in his memory.
That white-clothed youth was actually the master of the Absolute Dragon Cave Mansion, Qi Zhen?
Ye Changsheng found it a bit bizarre.
He seemed to have a just and upright demeanor, so how could he cultivate such a heaven-shattering demonic technique?
However, thinking about it this way, it did make sense.
The name Qi Zhen was not known to the world in Qixia Isle, and the person who suppressed the Evil Fire Fierce Phoenix was also not widely spoken of.
It was likely that Qi Zhen had offended the interests of some powerful force, leading to his existence being erased, unknown to the world to this day.
“It’s no wonder, seeing fragments of memories, I can understand what kind of person Senior Qi Zhen was,” Ye Changsheng sighed, “He is the complete opposite of me.”
Qi Zhen and Ye Changsheng were truly different in temperament.
Qi Zhen was indeed quite willful, not only slaughtering a major orthodox sect for a demon, but even saving Qixia Isle. He didn’t need anyone’s understanding, completely embodying the word ‘unrestrained.’
In contrast, Ye Changsheng… a ultimate coward who would endure as long as possible.
“However, I seem to be able to understand some of Senior Qi Zhen’s thoughts.”
When Ye Changsheng saw the memory fragments, he felt a sense of resonance, as if he were experiencing it himself.
Although Ye Changsheng acted cautiously and meticulously, deep down, he yearned for a life of quick justice and revenge.
Perhaps this was the gap between his ideal self and his real self.
“But that Little White… it feels a bit strange.”
In the memory fragments, Ye Changsheng couldn’t clearly see the appearances of Qi Zhen and Little White, only the impressions of them came to his mind.
That Little White was actually a demon, and a hamster at that.
Speaking of which, in Master’s Wuji Immortal Realm, he also encountered a strange hamster, coincidentally also named Little White.
Could it be that the hamster was originally Little White by Qi Zhen’s side, and was actually a beautiful demon girl!?
“…How could that be, I’m too prone to wishful thinking.” Ye Changsheng chuckled.
There was no such good fortune, for the pet he had doted on for years to actually be a beautiful girl.
He read too many novels, right?
He had only encountered one such beautiful girl, Zhong Yanhan.
And Zhong Yanhan wasn’t the type of beast-eared beauty who repaid kindness in a grand manner, but one that Ye Changsheng had obtained through despicable means, trickery, and deception.
“Perhaps Senior Qi Zhen wanted me to understand something…”
Perhaps Qi Zhen had long foreseen that his experiences and past would be erased, and wanted to convey his existence to future generations in this way.
It was a pity, though, that it was me, Ye Changsheng, who came into contact with your memories.
“I apologize, I strongly dislike putting myself in dangerous situations. Such actions would bring me immense trouble, so I will absolutely not reveal this to anyone.”
Ye Changsheng bowed again towards the fragments of the Azure Sword.
It could only be Qi Zhen’s bad luck!
If possible, Ye Changsheng never wanted to be associated with this person again, lest the forces hostile to Qi Zhen come looking for him…
“Alright, Senior Qi Zhen, this junior must take his leave. Farewell!”
The Azure Sword had turned into fragments and was unusable, which Ye Changsheng found very regrettable.
Ye Changsheng put the fragments of the Azure Sword into his Small Qiankun Bag, but then discovered an unexpected surprise.
Because he had linked with the Azure Sword’s Spiritual Sense just now, and Ye Changsheng’s cultivation level was adequate, the structure of the divine sword was completely analyzed in his mind.
He had learned some basics of artifact refining from Mo Baizhi, so he was proficient enough in crafting Magical Treasures.
If Ye Changsheng utilized these broken sword fragments, it was entirely possible to reconstruct a new divine sword!
“This trip won’t be in vain then. Since the cold crystal ore was burned by the Evil Fire Fierce Phoenix earlier, I’ll use these broken swords to supplement it.” For example, this way Ye Changsheng could tailor-make a brand new Magical Treasure for the Little Fox.
Ye Changsheng left this Small Qiankun Realm, and casually used Sorcery to completely seal the entrance, ensuring that no one would ever discover this secret again.
…
Ye Changsheng did not return to Azure Peak.
If he forged the Azure Sword within the White Emperor Sword Sect, wouldn’t people from the White Emperor Sword Sect come looking for him? His identity would surely be exposed then.
Therefore, Ye Changsheng left White Emperor Mountain and went to Qingping City, simultaneously changing out of his Inner Disciple sword robe from the White Emperor Sword Sect.
White Emperor Mountain was out of the question.
If he were to borrow a refining furnace from the Wuhua Palace, he would still be exposed and arouse suspicion.
After all, he had claimed to Wuhua Palace that his cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator refining such a high-level Magical Treasure…
Who would believe that? What was the difference between that and blowing himself up?
Moreover, without his Master’s permission, he could not return to the Wuji Immortal Realm.
Thus, Ye Changsheng didn’t have many options, and could only choose to set up a Magic array in the wilderness and start refining.
Ye Changsheng succumbed to his professional habit and began to avoid other people’s sight in a way that concealed his actions, as if he had paranoia, arriving at a deserted, desolate mountain.
However, when a Magical Treasure emerged, there would be some phenomena, and then major powers would rush over.
After all, competing for treasures was commonplace in the cultivation world.
This definitely had to be taken into consideration.
In the desolate mountain, Ye Changsheng began to set up a Spirit Gathering Array, first gathering Spiritual Energy from all directions.
Coincidentally, there were a few small sects and orthodox schools nearby that had already gathered a lot of Spiritual Energy on other peaks.
Ye Changsheng wouldn’t reason with them; he would absorb it all.
Afterward, he set up an evil and malevolent array to drive away anyone who approached out of curiosity.
Finally, there was the refining array.
Artifact refining was also a field of knowledge, involving the five elements, feng shui, and even celestial phenomena and solar terms. These details of refining Magical Treasures would affect the final product.
Even for the same Magical Treasure, made by the same person using the same materials, it was impossible to recreate an identical item.
Therefore, even though Ye Changsheng was refining the Magical Treasure according to the analyzed information of the Azure Sword this time, he would ultimately not refine the Azure Sword.
In the desolate mountain, at midnight.
Ye Changsheng checked and rechecked, finally confirming that there were no flaws.
“Everything is ready, we can begin.”
Ye Changsheng entered the array and began to refine the treasure.
“Oh right, since the opportunity is rare, let’s have some fun with the major powers nearby and stir things up!”
