Chapter 1444 An Eye for an Eye
"You're giving me an opportunity?"
The Heavenly Emperor slightly raised his eyes.
Yu King Si Wenming, who was beside him, twitched at the corner of his mouth, wondering if he had been trapped here for too long, and if the changes outside had been a little too much.
Let's not talk about strength for now.
When did this kid Yuan become so tough-mouthed?
Brother, have you even listened to what you just said?
The Heavenly Emperor remained unmoved, completely unaffected by such words. He simply said calmly, "What opportunity? You might as well tell me about it." Wei Yuan took out the item given to him by Huntian from his sleeve, then opened his palm, revealing the bead to everyone.
The surface of the bead had a faint, blurry feeling.
From within, one could seemingly see the myriad phenomena of the stars, the transformations of the cosmos.
There was a vague sense that all things were contained within it, a mysterious feeling of being the origin of all stars.
Almost everyone present had discerning eyes and immediately recognized the value of this item.
Mount Buzhou looked at the bead with suspicion and uncertainty, then looked at Wei Yuan, somewhat doubtful. Was this really his disciple? Hadn't this guy always had negative luck with money? How could such a priceless treasure, one that was obviously valuable at a glance, appear in his hands?
Wei Yuan really wanted to say at this moment—
'How about using this to offset the debt?'
But this was originally something Huntian had entrusted him to give to Dijun.
He couldn't bring himself to say those words.
And then there was the current atmosphere...
Wei Yuan lowered his eyes, seeing the solemn expressions of everyone around him, while he himself was dressed in a blue Daoist robe, with white hair falling down, holding an supreme secret treasure.
And then, he was supposed to say to the strongest Heavenly Emperor in the Clear World:
"Boss, settle the account."
He just couldn't say it…
Wei Yuan's mouth twitched. Seeing the Heavenly Emperor's expression, he moved his finger slightly, causing the bead to fly out. As soon as it left Wei Yuan's palm, the bead emitted a sense of vastness, seemingly about to erupt and transform into a starry universe, until the Heavenly Emperor reached out and regained control of it.
Dijun's expression showed a slight ripple: "This is..."
"His thing?"
He looked at Wei Yuan. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Wei Yuan understood who the Heavenly Emperor was referring to and nodded slightly.
The Heavenly Emperor stroked the bead and said calmly, "There is a Star Observation Pavilion outside Heavenly Emperor Mountain."
"You can see stars falling like rain, the scenery is not bad. Yuxu, if you have the leisure, why not go together?"
He had something to say.
Wei Yuan understood the Heavenly Emperor's meaning, although he really wanted to retort, 'I refuse.'
Right now, he was being weighed down by a huge debt and had lost his Daoist heart; he had no such thoughts.
But after considering it, he nodded and said, "I can."
.............
The starlight flowed and changed, constructing a starry bridge leading directly to the deepest reaches of the heavens amidst the countless stars. With each step, countless starlight would ripple, slowly echoing in the vast universe. The observer could only feel as if they were in this infinite world, and they themselves had become insignificant, and thus their state of mind would be cleared.
Dijun stopped and looked at the stars, saying, "I come here every once in a while."
"Seeing the vastness of the Milky Way, all beings within it are but fleeting moments, and so am I."
"My heart becomes more and more peaceful."
Wei Yuan said, "Is the Heavenly Emperor also a passerby?"
Dijun said calmly, "Immortality is just a means, not the meaning of why this body is here."
"The value of all beings is not the same as the length of time."
Images flashed before Wei Yuan's eyes: Daoists, old men, monks. They had all walked alongside him, and eventually surpassed him, continuing their own paths unhurriedly yet firmly. All beings were just passersby, and even good friends in life were just companions on the road. This vast world was ultimately a solitary path, and his expression softened unconsciously, and he said, "Yes."
He looked ahead, his tone light: "The scenery is nice."
Dijun said softly, "This is the first time an outsider has set foot here."
Wei Yuan smiled wryly, "In that case, should I thank the Heavenly Emperor for the special treatment?"
Dijun remained noncommittal.
Holding the bead left behind by Huntian in his hand, he said:
"When he handed this over to you, did he say anything?"
Wei Yuan stood beside the Heavenly Emperor, looking at the millions of miles of Milky Way in front of him, and said, "He said your combat strength is powerful, but there are shortcomings in your realm. You control the myriad phenomena of the stars, but you have not seen them with your own eyes, have not personally experienced the scene when the world was born, when all phenomena appear together. This is an imperfection in your realm."
"This may be able to help you complete your Great Dao."
The Heavenly Emperor said calmly, "...You really dare to say that."
Wei Yuan said, "What is there to be afraid of saying?"
Dijun lowered his eyes to look at him, and said, "Indeed, your nature has always been like this."
"This thing, I accept it."
"Then, the three swords you owe me are written off."
The Heavenly Emperor raised his eyes and looked at the vast stars, and then said: "Also, what do you want to do next?"
"Are you going to go to the South Sea again?"
Wei Yuan nodded. For him, the matter of the South Sea had not completely ended. There were still too many problems that had not been clarified, the backhand of the Turbid World, and the experience of Zhurong. And in any case, as A Xuan's master, he had to go to the South Sea again.
Now that the dust had settled, he would take another look at Zhurong.
The Daoist said: "I will probably see Zhurong again."
"The realm of life and death created in the South Sea area has not been completely stabilized..."
"I don't know what Zhu Jiuyin is doing, disappearing for so long."
"I will deal with these things as soon as possible, and then..."
Dijun said calmly, "Are you going to find Houtu?"
Wei Yuan nodded. Before, when he fought against that Huntian's body, he tried to involve the other party's karma, but it caused the karma of both sides to riot. In that instant, as the one in charge of karma, he 'saw' the events of the battle to mend the sky back then, when Houtu rescued the Nuwa Empress, but it caused himself to fall into danger.
The white-haired Daoist in the green shirt said, "I promised her, I will save her."
"I can't let her wait any longer..."
Then, as if thinking of something, he said, "By the way, we have already competed, you can't stop me anymore."
"Anyway, you won this time too."
The Heavenly Emperor nodded and said softly, "You can naturally leave."
"However, the fact that I won is not necessarily true."
Wei Yuan raised his eyes, but at this moment he didn't feel a sense of mutual appreciation, but rather a sense of being entangled in some extreme trouble, the kind of feeling that made the hairs on his back stand on end, and he felt chills down his spine. Sure enough, Dijun's tone was calm and cold, and he said softly, "If your sword formation hadn't been broken because of the damage to the weapon, but had been deduced to the limit."
"You should be able to create a stronger move."
"This time, let's just call it a draw, I will wait until you have completely completed the sword formation."
"Before that, you can naturally enter and exit at will."
Wei Yuan could only nod helplessly.
Dijun thought for a while, and still said in a calm tone: "As for the matter of rescuing Houtu, I think you can wait until you have further improved this sword formation, not to mention finding all the weapons that are enough to fully display the power of the sword formation, at least you must be able to support you in evolving the sword momentum and completely use the moves."
"Otherwise, if you encounter a strong enemy, at a critical moment, the weapon will shatter."
"Then you will not only fail to save people, but you will also have to put yourself in."
The Heavenly Emperor's voice paused, and he said softly:
"Failing during a life-and-death battle because the quality of the weapon is too poor."
"And then being imprisoned."
"It's not worse than Buzhou Mountain."
The expression on Wei Yuan's face froze.
You can just say that it will become an eternal joke.
Wei Yuan seemed to be able to hear the angry accusations of old man Buzhou: I didn't offend any of you, no!
The Daoist couldn't help but rub his brow and complained, "You..."
"How can the high temperature of the star core allow you to say such cold words?"
A generation of sword Dao leaders, because they were too poor to buy a good sword, failed at a critical moment because the weapon shattered.
Dijun said calmly: "I am just stating the facts."
"Perhaps, what is cold is not the words."
"But reality."
Wei Yuan was choked.
The Heavenly Emperor said calmly: "When you go to the South Sea this time, you can ask Zhurong. His forging skills are almost the strongest in the world. Although Fuxi occasionally has mysterious powers, his performance is not stable enough. You can also ask him to see if you can get a chance to forge from him..."
The Heavenly Emperor's voice paused slightly, and he saw Wei Yuan's face full of displeasure.
"It seems that you have a bad relationship."
The Daoist pondered, and then asked with a tone that seemed to be contemplating the mysteries of the universe:
"...Among the top ten Dao Fruit Realm experts, is there anyone who has a very harmonious relationship with him?"
Dijun pondered and nodded: "Indeed, there is none."
Wei Yuan said: "However, do I have to find Fuxi?"
"Isn't it possible to just let Zhurong help with the forging?"
The Heavenly Emperor said softly: "...If Shiyi knew what you were thinking, perhaps even if he was no match for you, he would want to hang you on that towering Jianmu tree. Only Jianmu is worthy of your idea."
He raised his eyes and said: "Ordinary divine weapons, so-called eternal indestructibility, are naturally fine."
"However, this time is different."
"What needs to be forged is an item that is enough to support the battle of the Dao Fruit Realm experts. If I have to say it, it is something that contains a certain concept of the Great Dao and breeds the laws of the Great Dao. That is no longer a category that divine weapons can encompass. Not only does it require extremely special materials during forging, but it also consumes a lot of the forger himself."
"Even Zhurong and Fuxi cannot forge continuously."
Wei Yuan was silent.
Recalling what happened earlier, the sharp weapons in the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house are naturally among the best of many divine weapons. In terms of pure material, they are stronger than the Xuanyuan Sword, but these three swords shattered, while the Xuanyuan Sword is still fine because the Xuanyuan Sword has a very special meaning.
The sword of the Yanhuang Human Emperor, and the one that is most qualified to be called that.
He is the beginning.
This sword is almost equivalent to the aggregate of the luck of the human race, equivalent to the gathering of countless generations of recognition of the concept of the Xuanyuan Sword.
It's just that it is bound by the form of the sword.
As for the Chang'an Sword, it represents 5,000 years of reincarnation and millions of miles of killing, and also represents the concept of Yanhuang myths at this moment. At that time, it should barely be able to serve as one of the four swords. Well, the Chang'an Sword is one, Zhurong, Fuxi, if each can help forge one...
There is still one missing.
Could it be that I have to ask Kunlun?
The Heavenly Emperor suddenly said, "Take it out?"
"Huh?"
Wei Yuan was puzzled.
Seeing Dijun reaching out his hand, he saw the sword mark injury in the palm of the Heavenly Emperor, flowing with blood. The Heavenly Emperor said softly: "In the end, your so-called God-Slaying Whip can actually be called sword energy, and the gift left by Huntian is itself sufficient as a material to support our full-strength battle."
He stretched out his hand, and the stars behind him burst out with scorching high temperatures.
Dijun said calmly: "This first sword, I will temper it with the stars."
The stars are the furnace fire.
The myriad phenomena are the brackets.
Huntian's tool is the foundation.
The Heavenly Emperor stood on a high platform where the stars flowed and the starlight was as vast as a long river. The Daoist finally clenched his five fingers, and the green bamboo in his hand reappeared. At this moment, he was surrounded by stars, as if he was fishing, but the river in front of him was transformed by the heavens and stars, and the thing in his hand was the same. The two stood here together, and Wei Yuan suddenly thought of a poem and muttered to himself:
"The green leaves suddenly lower, knowing a bird is standing."
"A green bamboo is the pole for fishing duckweed."
The surrounding leaves suddenly lowered, and he knew that a bird had landed.
Using green bamboo as a fishing rod to fish for duckweed on the lotus pond.
It is written about the leisurely scenery of a small fishing trip, but when it is said under the stars and phenomena, it has a kind of calm and composure, and the magnificence is all contained. Listening to the thunder in silence, but at this time, Wei Yuan's thoughts went a little off track, and an uncontrollable thought emerged in his mind.
A green bamboo is the pole for fishing duckweed, this must be an old brother fishing in the air force, right?
You can only fish for duckweed if you can't catch fish.
In short, there are no fish, so you have to catch more aquatic plants. You must never return empty-handed!
Wei Yuan smiled to himself, thinking of the water ghost in his museum.
This guy caught himself while fishing.
The Heavenly Emperor muttered Wei Yuan's poem and said softly:
"A green bamboo is the pole for fishing duckweed, not bad."
"Then this sword, let's call it..."
"Qingping Sword." (Qingping means duckweed)
