The supreme-grade Sea Calming Divine Needle
Looking at the Sea Calming Divine Needle that Zhuge Xiang handed to him, Wu Zhao did not reach out to take it. Although the Sea Calming Divine Needle was slightly lighter than the Bull Demon God Armor, its weight of 13,500 jin was still not so easy to lift.
Wu Zhao simply extended his fair palm and gently placed it on the Sea Calming Divine Needle)...
Wu Zhao's fair palm radiated a pure golden light. This light felt powerful yet warm, and although the power was strong, it gave people the feeling that it would never harm anyone.
The misty golden light slowly seeped into and merged into the Sea Calming Divine Needle, and finally, the already golden Sea Calming Divine Needle shone with an even more dazzling golden radiance, dazzling and eye-catching.
"This Sea Calming Divine Needle is already Half-Immortal Artifact. This power is insufficient to improve its quality, but its actual power is probably not much less than that of Immortal Artifact. This is all the help I can give you..." After the golden, dazzling light lasted for the time it takes to brew One Incense Stick of tea, Wu Zhao finally withdrew his palm and spoke.
"Is there really no other way between us?" Zhuge Xiang asked, staring at Wu Zhao without even glancing at the now even more powerful "Sea Calming Divine Needle."
Even though the Sea Calming Divine Needle has now become Immortal Artifact, Zhuge Xiang has no interest in it. At this moment, Wu Zhao is the most important thing.
"It's all Heaven's will's fault. We are destined to be apart. You love me, and I love you, but we are destined not to be together..." Shaking his head, Wu Zhao's face was also filled with grief.
If she had a choice, Wu Zhao would rather not be the so-called Empress of the Great Tang. But things don't always go as planned. The gears of fate had already begun turning when Wu Zhao obtained the remaining National Fortune of the Six Nations in the Hundred Emperors Pagoda.
"Heaven's will?" Looking at Wu Zhao's expression, Zhuge Xiang smiled and said nothing more before turning and leaving.
Although they both had feelings for each other, Zhuge Xiang Wu Zhao respect Wu Zhao's choice. However, this didn't mean Zhuge Xiang was giving up on her. "Hey, woman, listen to me. I can't answer your question right now, but next time I come, I'll give you a clear answer and then take you away."
Although he was heartbroken, Zhuge Xiang left with a carefree spirit. Zhuge Xiang was a sentimental person, but he was also free-spirited by Zhuge Xiang and was not the kind of person who would be held back by romantic feelings. In matters of love, Zhuge Xiang was also decisive and straightforward, doing what he felt was right.
"Take me with you?" Dressed in Golden Dragon Robe, Wu Zhao watched Zhuge Xiang's departing figure, her eyes filled with anticipation. She gently stroked her abdomen, which bulged high beneath the loose Dragon Robe, for inside, a small life was growing.
"I also hope that one day, when everything has settled down, I hope that our family will be able to live together in harmony."
"Husband, shall we go back to the Great Qin Empire now?" Mo Lingna waited for Zhuge Xiang to arrive. She was very curious about his conversation with Wu Zhao, but seeing that Zhuge Xiang was not very interested, Mo Lingna wisely did not ask any further questions.
"Okay, let's go..." Zhuge Xiang nodded and said. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his Mount, the Zhuge Xiang -Phoenix Winged Black Tiger, appeared, carrying Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna, and flew towards the Great Qin Empire.
Both of his pets, Little Fire Phoenix and Xiao Yue, had reached the level of Demon Monster, but the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger was the weakest. Judging from its cultivation level alone, it was no longer suitable to be Zhuge Xiang's Mount. So most of the time, Zhuge Xiang flew on his own. But today, Zhuge Xiang had no interest in traveling on his own.
Sitting on the back of the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger, Zhuge Xiang stretched out his palm, and the Sea Calming Divine Needle appeared in his hand. The Sea Calming Divine Needle, which was already shining with golden light, now shone with an even richer and more dazzling golden light. It was clear at a glance that it was no ordinary item. As Zhuge Xiang looked down to examine it, the information about the Sea Calming Divine Needle also came into view.
The Sea-Stabilizing Needle (Semi-Immortal Artifact): Attack +280,000, Passive 1: Change at Will, Description: Can freely change the size of the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, its weight remains constant. Passive 2: King of Weapons, Description: Any weapon below Semi-Immortal grade that comes into contact with the Sea-Stabilizing Needle will have its durability reduced by 5% with each collision. Passive 3: Stabilizing the Sea, Description: The Sea-Stabilizing Needle is an object used to calm the storms of the East Sea, capable of fixing any water-based spells. Special Effect: Blessed by the offerings of millions of subjects of the Tang Dynasty, attack power against Tang Dynasty cultivators +35%, attack power from Tang Dynasty cultivators reduced by 35%. Durability 9,201,000, Weight 380.
Looking at the information about the Sea Calming Divine Needle, a warm feeling swept through Zhuge Xiang's heart. As the Empress of the Great Tang, Wu Zhao had gathered the offerings Vow Power of hundreds of millions of people in the Great Tang, yet she used this Vow Power to empower the Sea Calming Divine Needle, just like the Emperor's Son of Heaven Sword empowered by the former emperor.
Although the quality hasn't improved, the attributes of the Sea Calming Divine Needle have changed significantly. First, its attack power has increased from 180,000 to a staggering 280,000. Second, there's the special effect, which is the most important gift Wu Zhao gave himself...
Once the Tang Dynasty and the Qin Empire go to war, and the Asura Sect is drawn into the conflict, he will inevitably face powerful cultivators from the Tang Dynasty. With this special effect, plus the physical strength added by his Mighty Bull Demon Technique, almost no Tang Dynasty cultivator will be able to kill him, and he will be virtually invincible.
With a slight smile, Zhuge Xiang put away the Sea Calming Divine Needle. The improvement in the Sea Calming Divine Needle's attributes wasn't the key to Zhuge Xiang's happiness; the key was that Zhuge Xiang understood Wu Zhao's attitude.
Although they separated and their identities changed drastically, their feelings for each other remained unchanged, and that was enough.
The Great Qin Empire, the Asura Sect.
Futuo Mountain, suspended in the air above the Asura Sect, comprised One Hundred and Eight Floating Mountains —a truly magnificent sight. However, there were few people on Futuo Mountain. Zhuge Xiang was nowhere to be seen; only Niu Geng and Zi Xiang remained on the entire Floating Mountain...
"This is our home, it's very stylish..." Mo Lingna said with delight as she landed on the Floating Mountain and looked around at the mountain that was suspended in the air.
Zhuge Xiang's cultivation ground is practically his own home. On this Futuo Mountain, all sorts of Spirit Beast Monster Beast and demon beasts, as well as spiritual and poisonous herbs, are everywhere, and the spiritual energy is abundant.
"Phoenix Winged Black Tiger, I've made things difficult for you all these years. From now on, you'll stay on this mountain and cultivate properly. From now on, you're free. You can eat any of the spiritual herbs on the mountain you want," Zhuge Xiang said as he jumped off the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger's back, releasing it.
Over the years, the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger's cultivation level has improved, reaching the level of Four-Star Spirit Beast. However, its flying speed is no longer sufficient for Zhuge Xiang's current needs. Considering its hard work over the years, Zhuge Xiang allowed it to stay on Futuo Mountain to cultivate.
"Thank you, sir!" Although he was reluctant to leave a powerful figure like Zhuge Xiang, he was still able to stay on Futuo Mountain and regain his freedom. He had finally made it through the ordeal. As Demonic Creatures, having a powerful protector to protect him and cultivate in peace was a very good outcome.
"No need to thank me," Zhuge Xiang said, waving his hand. As he spoke, he opened his Mount Panel and selected to release the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger Mount.
As the master of Futuo Mountain, Zhuge Xiang returned to the Futuo Mountain. In an instant, all the Monster Beast and Spirit Beast on the mountain prostrated themselves on the ground to welcome Zhuge Xiang's arrival. Zhuge Xiang not particularly like the respectful rituals of these Spirit Beasts, but since they wanted to do so, he was too lazy to bother with them.
"Haha, is this our new home? I'm very satisfied!" Looking at the abundant spiritual energy and pavilions of Futuo Mountain, Mo Lingna smiled with joy. As she spoke, she wandered among the pavilions and towers as if she were a curious explorer, taking in the full view of her new home.
"Who are you?" However, soon, in this Futuo Mountain, Mo Lingna discovered a woman, a woman holding a spirit shovel, carefully tending to spirit herbs and poisonous plants. Instantly, Mo Lingna's face was filled with vigilance, and she asked in a low voice.
"As an outsider, how dare you ask me who the master of Futuo Mountain is? That's the question I should be asking you!" Looking at Mo Lingna, the woman who lived on Futuo Mountain and tended to the medicinal and poisonous plants, he put down the spirit shovel in his hand and spoke with equal wariness.
"You? Master? Are you kidding me? I am the master here!" The woman's words provoked a very strong reaction from Mo Lingna.
She was Zhuge Xiang's woman, and this mountain was Zhuge Xiang's cultivation ground; shouldn't she be the mistress of this place? She claimed to be the master? Could it be... that she was Zhuge Xiang's woman?
"Master?" Zi Xiang looked at Mo Lingna in front of her, feeling a little confused. There were only two people on Futuo Mountain, herself and Niu Geng, and now a woman had suddenly appeared, claiming to be a woman from Futuo Mountain. It was really puzzling.
"Who are you? What is your relationship with Zhuge Xiang?" Thinking that Zi Xiang might be Zhuge Xiang's woman, Mo Lingna's expression naturally turned sour, and she asked with great vigilance.
"Hey, Zi Xiang, are you alright?" Just then, Zhuge Xiang came over and greeted Zi Xiang warmly.
"Oh? You're back?" Zi Xiang was surprised to see Zhuge Xiang, then said with delight.
It had been a long time. Since the Floating Mountain had taken off, he had spent almost all his time away from Futuo Mountain. Unexpectedly, he had returned. Looking at Mo Lingna, Zi Xiang understood why this woman called herself the master of this place. (To be continued...)
