The Great Sage's Body (Part One)
Under Zhuge Xiang's threat, Elder Moya had no choice but to offer his treasures to redeem his life. Since even Elder Moya had yielded, how could True Man Baijian and Blood Rakshasa possibly withstand the final move of Zhuge Xiang's Great Five Elements Sword Formation? After a moment of silence, both nodded, indicating their willingness to offer their treasures to save their lives.
"Very well, let's start with Elder Moya. I wonder how much your life is worth?" Seeing that the three of them had indeed submitted, Zhuge Xiang smiled calmly and pointed the tip of the Immortal Slaying Sword directly at Elder Moya.
Treasures? Treasures that could buy one's life? Elder Moya was in a dilemma. Although he was a top expert of the Ming Dynasty royal family and possessed many treasures, there were indeed not many treasures worth buying one's life at his and Zhuge Xiang's level.
Looking at the ancient bronze mirror he had just acquired, Elder Moya was reluctant to take it out, because he knew that this was the Yin Yang Profound Light Mirror, another treasure of the Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable.
"I have a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill in my hand. It is said that this pill was refined by Ancient Times Pill Alchemist and has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh and bone. I wonder if it is possible?" After pondering for a moment, Elder Moya waved his hand, and a palm-sized white jade box appeared in his palm. The jade was crystal clear, and just from the box alone, one could tell that it was no ordinary item.
"Nine Revolutions Golden Pill?" He reached out and took the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill from Elder Moya's hand. Upon opening the box, a Human Heart medicinal fragrance wafted out, making all 36,000 pores of his body open comfortably. His gaze fell on the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill.
The golden Pill was semi-transparent, with a viscous liquid seemingly flowing inside. A rich, exotic fragrance wafted out, and after taking a light sniff, he felt his mental state improve considerably. The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill —this information appeared in Zhuge Xiang's Data Eye.
Nine Revolutions Golden Pill (Half-Immortal Artifact Grade): No level requirement. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a renowned Pill Alchemist shook Immortal and Demonic Realms, known as Taishang Laojun. His masterpiece, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, had the power to bring the dead back to life. Although this Nine Revolutions Golden Pill is a replica, it still possesses remarkable medicinal effects. After consuming the Pill, 99% of maximum HP is restored within 10 seconds, while all negative status effects are removed.
"Hiss, this Nine Revolutions Golden Pill is terrifying..." Zhuge Xiang couldn't help but gasp as he looked at the information about the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill.
The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill in the Immortal Realm can bring the dead back to life, and while this Nine Revolutions Golden Pill cannot, it still deeply shocked Zhuge Xiang by restoring 99% of maximum HP within 10 seconds. He never expected that after the Cliff Immortal had consumed a powerful Pill to block his Great Five Elements Sword Formation, he would still have this Nine Revolutions Golden Pill in hand.
"Alright, this Pill can save a life in a critical moment. Using it to buy your life is acceptable," Zhuge Xiang said with a nod after accepting the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. Hearing Zhuge Xiang's agreement, Elder Moya did not dare to linger and hurriedly left the Sword Tomb.
"Alright, what about you? True Man Baijian?" With a flick of his wrist, Zhuge Xiang pointed the Immortal Slaying Sword directly at True Man Baijian. This guy's cultivation is very strong, and he's Sword Cultivator. He should be a Large Sect leaders Sword Dao sect, perhaps even the Sect Master. He should possess some treasures, right?
A treasure that could buy one's own life? A troubled expression appeared on True Man Baijian's face. As the Supreme Sword Sect Master True Man Baijian's most prized possession was naturally the Supreme Sword Sect's Sword Technique. However, how could he easily reveal his Sect's Sword Technique to the outside world?
After a moment of silence, the True Man Baijian emerged from the Void and produced a small booklet bound in gold thread, handing it to Zhuge Xiang. He said, "All I can offer is this Sword Technique of the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword. Legend has it that this Sword Technique was left behind by a sword immortal from the Immortal Realm, which I obtained by chance. I believe it is sufficient."
"Oh? Sword Technique left behind by the Immortal Realm sword immortal?" Upon hearing the words of the True Man Baijian, Zhuge Xiang's eyes lit up slightly. He reached out and took the Secret Manual of the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword, then looked it over.
"Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword (Incomplete): Requires Sword Soul to cultivate. Legend has it that it is Swordsmanship lost from the hands of a sword immortal in the Immortal Realm, possessing the power to shatter mountains and rivers. Although it is only an incomplete version, if cultivated successfully, it will possess earth-shattering power. Requires 1 Skill Point."
With his Data Eye, he looked at the Secret Manual for the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword and immediately allocated Skill Point to it. Looking at his Skill list, he was quite satisfied to have the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword Skill added to his skill list. This Sword Technique was more powerful than he had expected.
Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword (Perfection Level): Incomplete version. Can summon a Giant Sword Hundred Zhang long from the Void. All other swords will be suppressed under the Holy Sword. Single-target attack, dealing true damage equal to 50% of the target's HP, minimum 100,000 points. Consumes 6,000 MP. Cooldown: 500 seconds.
This Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword is another Skill that deals true damage. Although it is only a single-target attack and only deals 50% damage, which is not as good as the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword can suppress other Sword Cultivator, so it can be considered a very strong status Skill.
"Alright, I'll accept this incomplete copy of the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword. It's a fragment of the Immortal Realm Sword Technique; it's enough to buy your life," Zhuge Xiang said after weighing it in his hand and putting away the incomplete copy of the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword.
Seeing that Zhuge Xiang had agreed, and that the True Man Baijian had no intention of staying, he hurriedly nodded, grabbed the Sword Dao Calligraphy Painting of the Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable, and also left the Sword Tomb in a hurry.
Zhuge Xiang's strength is beyond his ability to contend with. If he stays, who knows what other things Zhuge Xiang might try to extort next.
"And you, Blood Rakshasa?" Zhuge Xiang was fairly satisfied with the items that True Man Baijian and Elder Moya had brought out. Finally, Immortal Slaying Sword at Blood Rakshasa and said, "Although the two were on the same side before, they tore off their mask for the treasure, so there's no longer any friendship between them."
While Zhuge Xiang was extorting Elder Moya and True Man Baijian, Blood Rakshasa actually took the opportunity to examine the scroll she had just snatched. As Zhuge Xiang Immortal Slaying Sword at her, Blood Rakshasa put the scroll away, closed her eyes, and pondered for a moment. After confirming that she had memorized all the contents of the scroll, she raised the scroll in her hand and smiled at Zhuge Xiang, saying, "The treasure I used to exchange for my life is this scroll."
"Oh? You're quite clever, aren't you? You memorized the contents, but you're using them to buy your own life?" Hearing Blood Rakshasa's words, Zhuge Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly. In fact, Zhuge Xiang was also very curious about the contents of the Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable's scroll.
"Actually, it makes no difference whether I look at it or not. This scroll is not the Cultivation Technique of the Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable. Strictly speaking, it is just a Treasure Map. With my abilities, I have no way to collect it," Blood Rakshasa replied, shaking her head.
"Oh? Is that so? What kind of Treasure Map is this scroll that made you back down?" Hearing this, Zhuge Xiang became curious and took the scroll made of some kind of animal hide from Blood Rakshasa's hand. Blood Rakshasa was quite powerful; did she really back down?
Unfolding the scroll, Zhuge Xiang carefully examined the records within. His expression shifted slightly in surprise. Just as Blood Rakshasa had said, the scroll was indeed Treasure Map. However, the things recorded within were not unfamiliar to Zhuge Xiang; in fact, they were quite familiar...
Demon Body!
The treasure depicted in this scroll is actually the physical body of a demon, a true demon from the Demon Realm, just like the Immortal Body of Immortals from the Immortal Realm — Demon Body has completely transcended the realm of mortals!
However, Zhuge Xiang was very familiar with this Demon Body. The scroll recorded seven places, each containing a part of the Demon Body. Only by finding all seven parts could he truly revive the demonic body, condense a powerful Demon Clone, sweep across this Cultivation World, and even dominate the Demon Realm.
The Demon Body depicted in the scroll is not an ordinary demon, but the physical body of a Great Sage, the strongest being in the Demon Realm, who can be called Great Sage. Zhuge Xiang knew this, and this physical body was the physical body of the Great Sage of the Demon Realm.
If one were to condense Demon Clone into their own, they could become a powerful overlord even in the Demon Realm.
However, even with the scroll in hand, the seven locations are not so easy to reach, much less so easy to collect. Otherwise, wouldn't the Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable have already collected these seven parts and resurrected the Great Sage's body long ago?
However, what truly astonished Zhuge Xiang that he actually knew three of the seven components!
First, there is this Sword Tomb, Sword Tomb is a huge mountain that looks like a giant leg. The Sword Tomb is also known as Divine Foot Peak. It turns out that the Divine Foot Peak of the Sword Tomb was originally the left leg of the Great Sage's Body that the Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable found hundreds of years ago, and then transformed it into a mountain as his cultivation ground.
Secondly, there is another record of a component in the Asura Path, but according to the record, the world of the Asura Path has been split apart, and the whereabouts of the sealed Demon's Hand are unknown, but Zhuge Xiang happens to know this.
The demon arm that was sealed in Demon Hand Mountain within the Asura Sect that day was another part of the Great Sage's physical body.
Zhuge Xiang knew about the arm and the leg, but the last part was in the Asura Sect of the Great Qin Empire!
The Great Sage's physical body was divided into six parts: limbs, head, and torso. So why were there seven parts? Because there was also the Great Sage's soul!
According to the scroll, the Demon Luo Scripture of the Asura Sect can summon the Soul Phantom of the Great Sage's soul. As long as the physical body can be gathered together, and the Demon Luo Scripture is used to summon the Phantom Image of the Great Sage, the physical body can be resurrected.
Back then, the Cold-Blooded Sword Venerable had actually gone to the Asura Sect, but unfortunately, he was no match for Luo Ba, so in the end, he could only retreat to the Great Ming Dynasty in defeat. (To be continued...)
